I have researched this topic a bit. One site suggested that prodigal is having reformed after being wasteful, while profligate is still engaging in such behavior.
However on studying the origin of the words, I found that this might not be correct. The parable of the prodigal son was the first reference of prodigal (from the resources I came across), and the parable is also referred to as the parable of the profligate father. Seems like prodigal is related to immorality somehow.
And studying the etymology of profligate, it seems to be linked to downfall.
What exactly is the difference between the two?

Profligate has a semantic center of gravity that leans more towards general licentiousness and moral degeneracy, whereas Prodigal is more tightly focused, pertaining specifically to extravagance and wastefulness.
You could validly use profligate as an alternative to prodigal, but there are many times when prodigal would not be appropriate to use in place of profligate.

But according to this parable I am referring to, it was the son who was morally degenerate and called prodigal. The father, on the other hand, turned wasteful because of his love for the son, and was called profligate. – tanvi Jul 3 '12 at 16:48
The story is referred to as the prodigal son merely because he wasted his inheritance, not because of his riotous living. It was his prodigality that led to his destitution and eventual return home. If he had been morally profligate and frugal, he would have never returned home and there would be no story. This story is also referred to as the Parable of the Prodigal Father. I have never heard of it referred to as the tale of the Profligate Father -- do you have examples of that? – Tolerance72 Jul 3 '12 at 20:00
Here is the link where i read about the profligate father. onemansweb.org/theology/gospel-of-luke-2010/… – tanvi Jul 4 '12 at 5:08
Thanks for the link, Tanvi. That helps put your question in context. On that page, the author actually reveals that he was not using the "immoral" meaning of profligate, but the "squandering" meaning, when he says: "Technically, there is not much difference between prodigal and profligate. If I bring up my Thesaurus in Ms Word, the meaning for prodigal is given as wasteful, and profligate is given as a synonym." He goes on to explain how the father is wasteful, and squanders his own wealth (and also the other sons' inheritances) by lavishing it upon the son who was insufficiently repentant. – Tolerance72 Jul 4 '12 at 6:00
So that means the story has actually helped attenuate the difference between the two words(as it is not stressing upon the moral degeneracy of the son)! – tanvi Jul 4 '12 at 16:22
Hmm, I've never heard this story referred to as either "The Prodigal Father" or "The Profligate Father". I've always heard it as, "The Prodigal Son". I just did a Yahoo search and found references to "Prodigal Father", but they all seem to be more like twists on the interpretation rather than serious descriptions. Of course it may be that different denominations call it different things.
In any case, I just re-read the story and the point is that the son was wasteful and irresponsible, not that he was necessarily immoral in a more general sense. There's just one reference to immorality, and that's when his older brother is criticizing him and says to the father that he has "devoured your livlihood with harlots", which is not necessarily to be taken literally; it might be intended to be a hyperbolic criticism.
And by the way, I've long found it curious that it is called "The Prodigal Son". Read the story in context: it's not about the prodigal son; it's about the older brother. The story is addressed to people who criticized Jesus for associating with the disreputable. He replies with several stories which make the point that it is proper to celebrate when the disreputable are helped, and mean-spirited to begrudge such a celebration because you didn't get similar help, when you didn't need help to begin with. The point isn't that the father forgave the prodigal son and welcomed him back. The point is that his older brother didn't.

Excellent point, how the main lesson of the story relates to (what seems at first glance to be) a relatively minor character. – J.R. Jul 4 '12 at 0:30
I so not see that the word immoral necessarily means sexually immoral. It just means contrary to the accepted moral code. Irresponsibility and wastefulness should be rightly condemned as immoral, in my nannying opinion. – Barry Brown Jul 4 '12 at 6:07
According to a Catholic priest in a sermon a few years back, the key lesson of the story is that the father has such a high capacity for love. – Ward Jul 4 '12 at 6:08
As an aside, note that 'prodigious', from 'prodigy', means'marvellous or enormous'. An area of possible confusion. – Barry Brown Jul 4 '12 at 6:11
_USER_ I didn't mean to imply that "immorality" necessarily refers to sex. That's what I meant by "immoral in a more general sense", i.e. immoral in a sense OTHER THAN being wasteful. If wastefulness is immoral and not just foolish. Anyway, we're supposed to be talking about language and not morals. – Jay Jul 5 '12 at 7:31
Could the father in "the parable of the lost son" really be profligate, even in offering love? "Abandoned to vice or vicious indulgence; recklessly licentious or debauched," the Shorter Oxford says; "broken down in morals or decency" (from Latin "to dash to the ground"): Webster's Second. And Dr. Johnson, cited in SOED:
Profligate in their lives, and licentious in their compositions.
Whereas being prodigal is a minor sin in comparison, "wastefully lavish","lavish in the bestowal of things" SOED. Webster's gives it as
One who spends or gives prodigally; a spendthrift; a squanderer; often a repentant waster like the prodigal son; as, to receive the prodigal with joy. Noble prodigals of life. Archbishop Trench.
In the very effective retelling in the Prokofiev/Kochno/Balanchine ballet, the son, after being fleeced by revelers and a siren, crawls back on his hands and knees to the father, who is remote and unbending and only at the last minute will he give his blessing. In the original parable the father sees the son coming from a distance and runs to meet him, to the extreme disapproval of the older brother.
Incidentally the Greek word πορνῶν that the brother utters, usually translated as prostitute or harlot, is catamite in the first entries of Liddell & Scott, becoming genderless in NT usage - bringing to mind perhaps Nietzsche's quip about God's Greek language skills.

According to MW, both the word profligate and prodigal both have, at their root, the idea of wasteful extravagance:
Profligate: "wildly extravagant."
Prodigal: <1> characterized by profuse or wasteful expenditure : lavish;
<2> recklessly spendthrift
It is only by extension (and, I imagine, by their connection to the biblical story) that these words have taken on the secondary meaning of "dissipation and licentiousness". Based on these root meanings, both the son and his father (in the parable of the Prodigal) can rightly be designated by these terms -- the son, because of the way he spent all his earnings; and the father, because of the way he extravagantly bestowed love and forgiveness on his son at his return.

Every resin intended for UV LCD 3D printing is cured with UV light using different exposure time settings which depend on the chosen layer thickness. The Exposure Time Calibration tool allows you to determine the correct settings for the type of resin you are going to use and layer thickness you have set for your model. To avoid having to randomly test print settings and ending up with a failed print, you have to properly calibrate the printer and find the best exposure time values. This manual shows a simple procedure that will help you when working with third-party resins and produce a high-quality print. During this calibration, the Inkspire will print a simple model with ten columns showing multiple details. Once the model is ready, you have to inspect it visually to know which exposure time settings are the best for your resin.
Starting the Calibration
From the main menu select Tools and Exposure time calibration.
NOTE! Remember to remove cured resin from the platform and carry out platform calibration before starting the Exposure time calibration.
Next, pour resin into the tank.
Entering Calibration Values
To start the calibration, enter the necessary settings:
–Layer height (mm) – the layer thickness which you want to test for the resin,
–Initial time value (seconds) – the initial exposure time value for the first column of the trial model,
–Time step (seconds) – the time value which will extend the exposure time for each next column.
Once you enter all values, select Start test and the printer will start to print the trial model.
Interpreting the Results
Inspect the ready model visually and select the column where the details are printed most precisely. Next, tap the selected column on the screen. The screen will display the suggested exposure time value for your resin. To complete the calibration, press Finished.

What is a set level transformation?
Set level transformation operates on a group of records that may result in joining, rearranging, elimination, or aggregation of records. Data sources and destinations are also considered as set transformations. Generally, set transformations operate on the entire data set. For instance, a Sort transformation sorts the entire dataset before passing records to the next object. Similarly, Aggregate transformation uses the entire data set to construct aggregated records.
Some more examples of Set level transformations in Astera Centerprise include: Join, Route Constant Value, Distinct, Denormalize, Normalize, Merge etc.

I prefer to "decorate" the stream/reader/writer object a little bit, add the desired progress feature into it. In decorated stream/reader/writer, you can keep a counter to indicate the progress, you can even put a indicator callback into it. ;-)
Something like this:
public Class CountableOutputStream implements OutputStream {
 private int counter;
 private OutputStream origStream;
Actually, the whole Java IO package demonstrate this design pattern fairly well.

Children disappointed as teacher pulls down blinds to stop them being distracted by snow during lesson at Stalham Academy near Great Yarmouth
Children at Stalham Academy, near Great Yarmouth, were banned from looking at snow Photo: Andrew Crowley
By Agency
A primary school has been criticised by parents after pupils aged eight and nine were banned from watching snow outside their classroom window.
Children were left disappointed after their teacher pulled down blinds to stop them being distracted by snow during a lesson.
Parents also claimed that pupils were stopped from touching the snow when they arrived at Stalham Academy near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Charlotte Marsters, 39, said her nine-year-old daughter had been excited by last Monday's snowfall and was very disappointed when the blinds were closed.
She said: "It was so dark they had to put the lights on. They were stuck in all day as they weren't allowed to play in the snow - and there was only about 1cm."
Ms Masters said children had been "marshalled" into classrooms as snow fell and were stopped from even bending to touch it.
She claimed one boy was told off after he took a small amount of snow from a wall with a gloved hand.
Mother-of-six Shelly Betts, whose eight-year-old daughter Bethany is a pupil, said: "When she told me they'd shut the blinds I couldn't believe it - I was very upset.
"They're only little, and they only stay children for a short time. They could have turned the snow it into a science lesson instead of banning them from seeing it. By the time they came out of school it was all gone.
"I don't want it to end up with my children only knowing about snow from Christmas cards."
Julie Hollins, 30, who has an eight-year-old son at the school, said: "Stopping them from even seeing it fall is like a slap in the face for little children."
Valerie Moore, chief executive of the Rightforsuccess Academy Trust which runs the school, did not respond to a request for comment.
However, a message posted on the Facebook page said: "We acknowledge that snow is an unusual and exciting occurrence for everyone, especially children.
"The academy's playgrounds were extremely icy so it was felt that in the interest of safety and in line with our risk assessment under health and safety, that children were brought inside at the start of the day.
"The phrase'marshalling' is not accurate to describe a notice board asking children to go inside, nor is it accurate in regards to the manner that children are brought into the Academy.
"Over the course of the day the ice had not cleared by break time on the Monday and sleet and snow showers prevented outdoor play at lunchtime.
"Having discussed the matter with the class teacher in question, she noted that the heavy snow fall was having an impact upon the learning of the children during one of her lessons so the blinds were closed to ensure that children focussed on their tasks in hand."
The school made headlines before Christmas when Stalham curate, the Rev Margaret McPhee, announced that father Christmas was not real during a school carol service, leaving some pupils upset. She later apologised.

Study Of A Vietnam 155 Km Bauxite Slurry Pipeline From The Highlands To Coast
Vietnam's bauxite resources are mainly found in the Highlands region, which is also home to the upper catchment areas of some of Vietnam's most significant river systems. The location of alumina refineries in the Highlands region with their associated residue disposal facilities raises serious environmental concerns. The tropical climate zone brings periods of intense monsoonal rainfall that needs to be contained and managed. The likelihood and impact of fugitive dust emissions, ground water contamination, or discharge of contaminated water streams must be minimized. The existing infrastructure for transportation of raw materials, refinery supplies and product alumina to and from the refinery is also limited. Therefore, potential investors will have to pay high costs to minimize the environmental risks and to upgrade and improve transport infrastructure in order to build and operate their refineries in the Highlands.
One potential solution to these problems is to locate future alumna refineries closer to the coast some distance from the mines and beneficiation plants in the Highlands. In coastal locations, red mud can safely be neutralized and stored using sea water and alumina product can easily be transported to a nearby port. A Vietnamese alumina project has now been proposed to build a mine and beneficiation plant in the Highlands (Gia Lai province) and the refinery close to the coast (Binh Dinh province). The connection between the two plants will be via a 155 km bauxite slurry pipeline.
This paper describes the technical aspects of the pipeline design, operating and control philosophy, maintenance, and capital cost.

Today's (Networking) Tip…
When you capture messages that are part of an operation, Message Analyzer normally collapses this traffic to combine related request and response message pairs into a single, top-level message line that contains a blue cubed icon to indicate an operation. However, because it is important to understand the interaction between requests and responses, Message Analyzer also enables you to toggle operations with the Hide Operations button, so you can alternately hide and show them in the Analysis Grid viewer.
If you toggle the Hide Operations button, the operations are broken apart and the constituent request and response message pairs are then displayed in chronological order instead. In this display configuration, you might lose some context as the request and response messages will no longer be grouped together as a single operation, but rather, they assume their original chronological position in the trace before Message Analyzer created the operation nodes.

Most specific instance selection
Thanks for the post, Sandro. This fits in well with our recent discussions on overloading.
I wonder if someone can justify this mechanism on semantic grounds. Why is it a good idea to even be asking the question of which is the most specific instance? When we are defining a function by pattern matching, we don't list a bunch of patterns in random order and let the compiler tease out which pattern is most specific. It seems to me that there are two cases with overloads:
1. At least one of the overloads is aware of the other and there is a particular order in which overloads should be tried (using the first that applies). This is the case with typical pattern matching of closed algebraic datatypes.
2. The overloads are mutually unaware of each other. In this case, I would argue that no ambiguity should be tolerated. Even if one is more "specific" than another, that may be accidental and shouldn't be used to resolve the overload.
It seems likely to me that the idea of "most specific dispatch" arose out of an attempt to handle both of these cases with a single mechanism. I'd question whether that is a good idea.
Your second case is handled
Your second case is handled in Fortress using the meet rule, where the definitions of each overloaded function must form a meet semilattice, ie. in the paper's words, "The Meet Rule requires every pair of declarations to have a disambiguating declaration, which is more specific than both and applicable whenever both are applicable. (If one of the pair is more specific than the other, then it is the disambiguating declaration.)".
If I understand you correctly, you're positing a scenario where some function foo has definitions on types (t1, t2) and (t0, t3) but dispatched on (t1, t3), where t1 <: t0 and t3 <: t2. In this case, the second definition isn't aware of the first, nor the first aware of the second. The meet rule would require a disambiguating overload to resolve this case.
Edit: as to whether it's a good idea, I'm not sure. I think most of the difficulties arise from the pervasive subtyping of Fortress. I can imagine a simpler language with more controlled subtyping, like an algebraic constructor being its own type that's a subtype of the algebraic type, to be much more straightforward.
Not that case, exactly
For example if one module defines f(Nat) and another f(Number), I'm saying it is a mistake to not report the ambiguity just because Nat is more specific. It's possible the person writing the call only had in mind the Number definition.
Perhaps a more specific
Perhaps a more specific example where this would be undesirable might demonstrate why this would be a bad idea. I'm not seeing how your example differs from overriding a method f by inheriting from Number. The code calling f on Number would know that it's calling a method that could be overridden by any subtypes.
I read this as "most OO languages don't have sensible semantics anyway, so how is this any different?" Fair enough, but I think you can often interpret object encodings in a somewhat sensible way, with methods contributing both an interface and a default implementation. A subclass can be seen as overriding the default implementations while building a record of methods. There is no "most specific type" based dispatch going on in this view, even if that would produce the same result. When we switch to multi-methods, there is no longer a corresponding (somewhat) sensible semantics.
When we switch to
Isn't there? What's the meaning of "sensible"? The Fortress semantics seem quite sensible to me, which is why I asked for a specific example where you think it, or even a single inheritance overriding, isn't sensible and so I can understand precisely what that means.
Edit: consider the example I brought up earlier, of limited subtyping where sum constructors are types that subtype the sum type itself. "Most specific" is then simply pattern matching, and moreover enables a form of extensible sums and cases. There doesn't seem to be anything nonsensical about the principle of "most specific" itself, so what I'm trying to say is that I think your problem with Fortress or multimethods probably lies elsewhere, like with the pervasive subtyping.
"Most specific" is then
But one that suffers from the problem of more specific patterns silently overriding more general patterns. In a modular setting, this looks like a misfeature to me. The "more specific than" relation looks like a proxy for "is intended to specialize". That seems dangerous when these patterns are spread among modules and the authors might not even be aware of each other.
Dangerous and Useful
Usually these specialisations are different algorithms that do the same thing. For example sorting is a family of algorithms. Current languages only impose syntactic and type constraints on the specialised algorithms in a family, but ideally there should be semantic constraints in the form of axioms.
However there will always be things that are difficult to enforce, for example how do you prove that vector addition is actually the same thing as integer or floating point addition.
Rust actually places constraints on where implementations can be declared, which is more restrictive than the axiomatic approach but much simpler to implement. Rusts rules are something like you can only implement a trait declared in another module for a type declared in the same module as the implementation. This leads to the common pattern of declaring a wrapper type in your module to allow you to implement library traits on generic type parameters (which might be instantiated with types declared elsewhere, so you need to wrap in a local type). This means you cannot redefine addition in integers, but you can define a wrapper and redefine addition on wrapped integers. Its overly restrictive because you cannot redefine addition on types that implement the integer-trait, because some of those types might already have addition defined elsewhere, but you can redefine addition on types that implement the integer-trait, and are wrapped in your local type wrapper.
Obviously these features have uses that would be affected if you just removed them and didn't replace them with anything else, but that's usually true for bad features as well as good ones. The question is whether the proposed mechanism is better than alternatives.
I'm generally skeptical of the approach to language design that starts with a mechanism and tries to tweak it until it has nice properties. I'd prefer to start by finding semantics that faithfully model the aspects of the problem we are interested in and then build a language around that semantics. "Most specific" dispatch still seems to me to be a fairly ad hoc mechanism.
Programming as Abstract Algebra
We want to model abstract algebra, so we start with implementing algorithms over common algebraic concepts (Elements of Programming, chapters 1 - 5). Then we understand the patterns of abstract algebra, we can look at algorithms over core computer science concepts like containers. It turns out the algebraic structure of containers can be modelled by a family of iterators, and so we explore the algorithms that can be implemented in terms of different iterators (Elements of Programming, chapters 6 - 9). Then we take what we have and look at how we can do something useful like rearrangements and rotations (which are very useful generic algorithms that turn out to have all sorts of uses, Elements of Programming, chapters 10 - 11). This includes algorithm selection which is where you want trait (or type-class) based dispatch, and specialisation, as you want to select the optimal rotation algorithm depending on the type of iterator supported by the container. This relies on the earlier decision that containers should only implement iterators that are efficient for that container (which follows the general principles of abstract algebra).
So this is all part of a disciplined mathematical model, and not ad-hoc in any way. Reading Elements of Programming should make this clear. Watching this video is a good place to start: _URL_
a use of lazy eval or something more sophisticated
I like the idea of specifying algorithms in the simplest forword form, and yet being able to pull data through layers of them as needed.
But lazy eval at least as implemented in haskell has the idea that if you can access an old calculation, it has to be persistent for the life of the program - it has no optimization that says it's sometimes better to stop caching and recalculate later.
I once tried to do this sort of thing with layers of ring buffers and optimized loops using templates in c++ (I was doing sound processing).
I never figured out why pulling data through many layers of these was slow - I thought I calculated the size and use of the buffers to not have to recalculate on normal use.
But I like this idea best:
YOu specify the algorithm in its simplist form, maybe with some small hint about needed overlap and expected block size, and another program optimizes the buffers and partial generators behind your back.
In other words I want a new model of computing based on metaprogramming!
Lazy evaluation is a misfeature
The problem with lazy evaluation is that the performance is very unpredictable and difficult for people to understand. Having spent some time writing large programs in Haskell, I now think default lazy evaluation was a misfeature. I prefer Rust's eager approach, as performance is much more predictable and understandable. I don't think you actually need lazyness, as you can just use an object and an iterator. If you always access collections through an iterator interface (which I think is the right way to do

Dr. Eric Walle, a psychology professor at the University of California Merced, accidentally discovered early in his career that babies who are walking have significantly larger vocabularies than children who are crawling. After he replicated the finding across languages, he set about using LENA technology to try to determine why.
"It wasn't just a matter that these kids were older. It was that these kids had begun walking," he said. "Walking seemed to give them an added boost to their vocabulary development."
His process of discovery is highlighted in episode six of a new Netflix documentary series, Babies. The episode follows a baby named Penelope and her mom during a LENA Day, while Dr. Walle explains how he examines the data provided by LENA.

Siemens Energy partners with Seurat to manufacture 59 tons of AM parts
May 2, 2023
Seurat Technologies, Wilmington, Massachusetts, USA, has announced an agreement to develop 59 tons of additively manufactured metal components for Siemens Energy turbines. Development will ramp up over a six-year-period for parts meeting the material qualification requirements of Siemens Energy. The initial focus will be on one part family, with the possibility of increasing volumes to include others in the future.
Manufacturing is one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for 31% of emissions. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change continuing to sound the alarm on global warming in its recent report, the manufacturing industry has a significant responsibility to reduce its carbon footprint. The Biden Administration is also calling for the reduction of industrial emissions, recently unveiling a $6 billion effort to decarbonise industrial manufacturing and accelerate new technologies critical to a winning climate strategy.

--> Setting up a co-optation program in your company - HR News
Setting up a co-optation program in your company
Deux collègues souriants
Co-optation program or co-option is on the rise in French companies. According to the Sourcing Cadres barometer carried out by APEC (2019), employee co-optation represented the 4ᵉ channel for hiring executives in 2018. It has to be said that this scheme does not lack advantages. Here are our recommendations for setting up a co-option program in your company.
Co-optation, definition
Let's start by defining the concept of co-optation. It is a recruitment method that allows employees of a company to recommend someone they know for a specific position. The person co-opted can be from the employee's personal or professional network.
Also called "participative recruitment", co-optation allows companies to obtain qualified people at a lower cost.
What is the difference between referral and co-optation?
There is a major difference between these two concepts.
allows a person to obtain a job thanks to the support of an acquaintance with a contact in the company. Co-optation, on the other hand, is more fair play. It involves studying a candidate's CV and then comparing their skills with other applicants.
In other words, before considering a co-opted candidate, the company always ensures that he/she has the skills required for the job. This recruitment by recommendation allows the HR function to identify qualified profiles more easily. Indeed, in the context of a co-optation, the co-opter guarantees the skills of the co-optee. This question of qualifications and skills is completely absent from the principle of referral, which is characterised by an important emotional dimension.
What are the advantages of a co-optation program?
Co-option is effective. At least, that is what many studies prove. According to the APEC Sourcing Cadres barometer cited above, "48% of companies that used employee co-optation to recruit an executive hired someone they knew or recommended.
This success can be explained by the multiple advantages of co-optation:
Co-optation makes it possible to get in touch with highly qualified profiles that may be difficult to reach. By using the network of its employees, the company saves a lot of time: it no longer has to approach attractive candidates. The sourcing work is then done by the employees.
Co-optation also allows access to the "grey zone", i.e. candidates who are not actively looking for a job, but who remain open to opportunities.
Co-optation saves recruiters time. It gives primacy to expert profiles recognised by their peers.
According to a Jobvite study (2012), recruitment by co-optation takes 29 days on average, compared to 39 days for job boards.
Speed also means efficiency. Again according to this study, 47% of co-opted people were still working in the company three years later – compared to 14% for candidates from a job board.
Co-optation helps to strengthen the feeling of belonging among employees and to value them. More than just employees, they become true ambassadors, ready to defend the company's projects, values and culture.
Setting up a co-optation program
As you can see, co-optation is good for your business. But how do you ensure that it is implemented correctly?
Provide a framework
This is a basic piece of advice that applies to any new scheme set up in a company. To avoid any deviation and to implement a rigorous co-optation program, you need to define a clear framework. Who can and cannot be recommended by your employees? Which positions are open for co-optation? Set rules, which reflect your company's values.
Define a clear and structured process
Also try to set up a clear and structured co-optation process. Your employees need to know who to talk to when they want to recommend someone, what tool to use to register the recommendation and to monitor the process.
Motivate and reward employees who coopt
Motivate your staff with incentives. Of course, the commitment of your employees and their goodwill might be enough to get them to adopt this scheme in the first place… But for co-optation to become a reflex for your employees, it is essential to motivate them – and thank them for their efforts, with a co-optation bonus for example, or even bonuses.
At Capgemini, for example, the co-optation bonus varies between 1,200 euros (for the co-optation of a junior profile) and 2,000 euros (for the co-option of a more experienced candidate).
Do not hesitate to be inventive, by proposing competitions or challenges, which would reward the employees who have made the most co-optations over a given period of time…
Valuing co-optation within the company
It is also important to make the most of the co-optation system within your organisation. Your teams must understand all the issues and benefits of this recruitment method. Because they are part of the company, employees are in the best position to recommend profiles. They know the company's commitment, mission and culture, and are therefore perfectly capable of assessing the relevance of a candidate for a given position.
Also remember to alert your troops when a strategic position opens up. Communicate transparently about the talent shortages you are experiencing. In short: rally your employees around your recruitment challenges. If your employees are engaged, they should care!
Equip yourself with software
Think about getting dedicated co-optation software. Today, many solutions such as Social Referral allow you to automate your cooptation process by integrating seamlessly with your ATS.
Co-optation program, points to watch out for
Co-optation can be beneficial in many ways, but it should not be used as a systematic means of recruitment. The reason is simple: diversity and co-optation are not very compatible. Indeed, how can you ensure an inclusive and equal opportunity recruitment system if you only use your employees' network to recruit?
The main limitation of co-optation is obvious. It is a system that gives primacy to the network of its employees. In other words, their former colleagues, classmates, relatives and acquaintances… Identical circles, in short, who share the same training, the same experiences… Beware, therefore, of the culture of the "entre-soi", which is radically opposed to the principle of diversity.
Finally, you must make it clear to your teams that there is a substantial difference between cooptation and referral. Also, make sure that you integrate the recommended candidate into the normal recruitment process. All applicants must be examined in the same way (otherwise, it is no longer a recommendation, but referral!)

This Is Why Soda Tastes Better in Glass Bottles
Awesome! Share to:
Have you ever wondered why soda seems more delicious when it comes in a glass bottle? Most people will agree that sodas in different packaging—whether it's from the same brand—taste different. And no matter how the Coca-Cola company says that the taste is the same regardless of the packaging it comes in, consumers will always disagree.
Fortunately, science has an explanation for this long-debated question.
Why is soda better in glass bottles

Table of Contents
The Science Behind Soda in Glass Bottles
The real reason why soda tastes better in a glass bottle is because of the chemicals in aluminum cans and plastic bottles that alter its flavor.
Sara Risch, a food chemist who works with food and packaging companies, explains the science behind this. "While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur."
She's pertaining to the Bisphenol-A (BPA), a polymer that is present in aluminum can liners. Worry not—the BPA present in soda cans is not enough to cause harm to your body no matter how many cans of soda you guzzle per day. However, when BPA absorbs small quantities of soluble flavor from the soda, it can alter its taste.

Another culprit is acetaldehyde, a chemical used to manufacture plastic bottles. When it reacts with soda, trace amounts of acetaldehyde could transfer to the drink. This gives it that noticeable 'plastic-y' taste. And while plastic packaging is regulated by the FDA to ensure that it's safe to drink, the soda's taste can still be affected.
Additionally, plastic is much more permeable to carbon dioxide compared to glass or aluminum. This means that the fizz will leak out of a plastic bottle faster, making it taste flat after a few weeks of storage.
The best and safest way to enjoy your soda is still by soda glass bottles. Glass is the most inert (less chemically reactive) material for soda packaging. This means that there is little to no chemicals in glass bottles that can change the taste of soda.
However, we still need to consider environmental factors. Even if the soda comes in a glass bottle, exposure to sunlight and temperature can still affect its taste.
Comparing Glass vs Plastic vs Aluminum
Aside from affecting the soda's flavor, its packaging can also make a huge difference in terms of production, transport, and sustainability. Let's compare the three soda packaging materials, then see which one is the most ideal.
Glass bottle vs plastic vs aluminum can

Production
Glass Bottle: It is made of liquified sand, which is the result of heating sand (silicon dioxide) until it turns into liquid. New glass bottles can also be made from recycled glass. The only disadvantageous effect of glassmaking is that it requires tons of fuel for melting sand. This produces a lot of carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere.
Aluminum Can: Aluminum cans are made from bauxite, a rock that contains alumina, silica, and titanium dioxide. Mining bauxite requires digging a large pit to extract the ores, which damages the environment. Making aluminum cans is also resource-intensive and produces toxic gases into the air.
Plastic Bottle: Plastic bottles may be a cheap option for soda packaging, but the cost of manufacturing them is our environmental welfare. It needs crude oil, which is obtained by drilling into the earth. It is then transported to a refinery to be distilled. Afterward, different types of plastic are created by manipulating polymers.

Transport
Glass Bottle: Since glass is heavy and fragile, it's quite difficult to transport between plants and factories.
Aluminum Can: Cans are small, lightweight, and can be packed tightly.
Plastic Bottle: Like aluminum cans, plastic bottles are also lightweight and can be packed together tightly.

Sustainability
Glass Bottle: The best thing about glass bottles is that they are completely recyclable. Even if they get broken, old glass pieces can still be turned into new ones (just be extra careful when disposing or packing them). That's why many soda companies use glass bottles since they can sterilize and reuse them. It's the most sustainable soda packaging among the three.
Aluminum Can: Aluminum cans are also recyclable, but only 49.8% of aluminum cans are recycled by consumers per year. The good thing about it is that it can be recycled unlimited times.
Plastic Bottles: It might be the most convenient packaging material, but it's also the most unsustainable. Only 6% of plastics are recycled each year; the rest of it is dumped into oceans and landfills.

Why Soda Glass Bottles Are the Best Option?
If you're a beverage producer, then it's clear that glass bottles are the best packaging option for your drinks. First, glass bottles won't affect the taste of soda. They don't have chemicals that can leach into the drink and alter your drink's signature taste.
Glass bottles are also easier to clean and reuse. You can collect your empty soda bottles from the consumers, sterilize them, and reuse them for the next batch of sodas. It can cut back your packaging costs significantly.

Additionally, glass is much more environment-friendly. A huge portion of plastics are thrown away and are currently polluting our oceans. Since glass is easier to recycle, it reduces your carbon footprint as a company.
Lastly, glass bottles are more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Soda definitely looks tastier and more flavorful in glass bottles. Plus, you can choose between embossing your logo on the bottle (giving it a vintage look) versus having it printed (making it look more modern).

Coeur d'Alene River Flooding Worst Since 1996
Northern Idaho's Coeur d'Alene River has risen to its highest flood stage since 1996, according to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). As of 11:00 am, Mountain Daylight Time, today, the USGS streamflow gage on the Coeur d'Alene River near Cataldo, Idaho measured the height of the river at 45.87 feet. This is the highest stage measurement recorded at that gage since February 9, 1996, when the river stood at 51.62 feet. Flood stage for the Coeur d'Alene River at Cataldo is 43 feet.
Today's latest streamflow measurement at the Cataldo gage shows that the river is flowing at a rate of 31,900 cubic feet per second, That figure is less than half of the 70,000 cubic feet per second recorded during the 1996 flood. The peak flow of record for the gage is 79,000 cubic feet per second, recorded on January 16, 1974.
Information on current conditions for the Coeur d'Alene and other Idaho rivers can be accessed on the Web at _URL_

many a teacher vs many teachers
I've seen this kind of construction before so I know it's not a grammatical mistake or a typo on the publisher's part. (Besides, I'm not proficient enough to point out mistakes made by publishers) But I don't know why the author chose to use'many a teacher' as opposed to'many teachers'. Can anyone provide an explanation for this?
One much talked-about educational theorist in the Rogersian tradition is the well-known Brazilian educator Paolo Freire (1970), whose seminal work, Pedagogy of the Opressed
, has inspired many a teacher
to consider the importance of the empowerment of students in classrooms.
Re: many a teacher vs many teachers
Both mean the same thing...

Are Skydiving and Parajumping the Same Thing
Are Skydiving and Parajumping the Same Thing?
Are skydiving and parajumping the same thing? That's a pretty common question and since the terms are often used interchangeably it just adds to the confusion. Both parajumping and skydiving use the exact same but there are some differences between the two. Skydiving is really for more experienced jumpers but that doesn't answer the question as to the difference between the two. Let's explore parajumping and skydiving and you can decide which you would rather try.
Parajumping is something that almost anybody in reasonably good health can do. You and a friend can both try parajumping for the first time together and schools will even offer up discounts for first timers or for charity events. There will still be some instruction that you will have to go through first where you are taught about your equipment and safety. On the day of the jump you will still do a run through to make sure that all of your equipment is in working order.
For the first jump you will probably do Static Line Parajumping, that means that your parachute will be pulled automatically when you jump out of the plane. The parachute is attached to the inside of the plane so that when you exit it is pulled. The military also uses this type of parajumping, when you see soldiers in a row all leaving a plane they are static line jumping. Here is a look at static line jumping.
Now let's look at skydiving. While the terms have been used interchangeably skydiving is slightly different. You do use the exact same gear but when you exit the plane the parachute is manually pulled by you. During the time you exit the plane until you pull the rip cord you are in free fall. You are quite literally falling through the air and you can reach speeds of more than 100mph as you descend. For many jumpers this is the thrill they are chasing and what they love most about the sport. Free falling is what separates parajumping from skydiving and it requires more training and experience than just parajumping alone.
If you have never jumped before and still want the thrill of a free fall then you can try skydiving while in tandem with an instructor or experienced jumper. You will still have the thrills you want without having to worry about remembering to pull the cord. No matter your preference the experience is still thrilling.
Essential Parajumping Gear
Essential Parajumping Gear
Parajumping or skydiving isn't just getting on a plane, jumping off and letting gravity do the rest of the work, it is about surviving and enjoying the jump. In order to do that you need the right training and equipment. Thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies have been jumping from planes for decades but for the most part they all take whatever precautions they can to make sure it is done safely. Here are some of the essential parajumping gear that you are going to need.
 1. The Parachute
Hands down, the parachute is most essential piece of equipment that you are going to need. The parachute is what slows you down and allows you to reach the ground at a reasonable speed that you can survive. Most jumpers also have a backup parachute in case something happens. Unless you are really passionate about jumping and do it several times per month you will probably rent one from the drop zone. It is cheaper and easier than maintaining your own.
 1. Jumpsuits
Jumping and traveling at those speeds exposes you to the elements, particularly strong winds and cold, you can't jump wearing just anything. A good jumpsuit is wind resistant, will help keep you warm and protect your body. Landing can also be rough and the jumpsuit will help protect you from getting scratched or cut when you land.
 1. Altimeter
If you want to free fall you will still need to pull your parachute once you reach a certain altitude in order to make sure you can safely land. If you wait too long the parachute won't slow you down enough and if you open too early you can rip your chute. The altimeter tells you the perfect time to pull the cord and open your parachute. If you ever plan on jumping at night then the altimeter is crucial to your survival.
 1. Pads and Helmets
It should go without saying that you need a helmet and other padding to save you from injury on landing. Helmets, elbow and knee pads are all essential but you might consider adding some type of spinal protection to your gear. If you land on your back then you definitely want protection.
Parajumping is an adrenaline rush that very few things compare to, it is defying the elements and the laws of physics and there is no feeling quite like it. But even defying the elements requires the right safety gear so you can live to jump another day.

Gain control over your managed and unmanaged devices with Network Glue
Network Glue has evolved into more than just a network diagramming solution. It can help you gain comprehensive visibility into your network with features like automatic discovery, documentation, diagramming and more.
IT Glue can ensure secure and quickly accessible documentation, and Network Glue can automate all your network information. Having Network Glue data automated right into IT Glue will enhance your ability to centralize the network information you need to do your work efficiently.
In this blog, we'll explore some Network Glue feature updates that can make network documentation simpler and more efficient.
Unmatched Devices Notification
IT professionals typically maintain a well-kept list of managed devices since they can get that information from their RMM solution. But what about unmanaged devices like VoIP, firewall, servers and more?
To provide proper service to their clients, IT professionals need to get a complete picture of all the devices in their clients' networks, both managed and unmanaged. This helps them understand how these devices relate to each other. This high-level visualization of networks and devices will prevent unresolved issues and benefit your clients as well as your business.
MSPs must have enhanced visibility into their clients' networks, and that starts with identifying every single device in their clients' networks. This is now possible with our new automatic notification of unmatched devices. You can set this up as a new workflow type to receive regular emails that will show you a list of unmatched devices.
Once Network Glue detects a device that is not already documented in IT Glue or an unmatched device, it will be listed in your automated email notification. Your technicians can then decide whether to match the device or document it in IT Glue.
This will give you the peace of mind you need to focus on bigger, more important tasks, knowing that the possibility of missing new devices in your network has been eliminated.
Switch Port Enhancement
Knowing what is connected to each port on a switch is important for you to troubleshoot easily. Not only does Network Glue automate the documentation of devices & Active Directory contacts, but it also automates the documentation of ports and interfaces.
With the latest Switch Port update, now under any IT Glue device, you can easily see anything the device is connected to, including other IT Glue configurations or even unmatched devices discovered by Network Glue.
If the unmatched device is key to your IT documentation, you can now add this newly discovered unmatched device right away to your IT Glue account. Using the "Add to IT Glue" button, you will be redirected to the Network Glue diagram with the selected device, and you can then match it there. However, even if you do not do this, the connected port information will still show.
To learn more about these new updates, request a demo.

Measure your delayed work. Evaluate the accuracy of your predictions. Calculate your on-time delivery ratio.
The Due Date Performance Chart for Azure DevOps enables you to measure your due date performance by comparing the time between the start date and due date of a work item, with the actual time it took to deliver your work. Each dot on the graph represents a completed work item on your Azure board, with its cycle time plotted against the horizontal axis and its predicted time displayed on the vertical axis.
Your due-date performance is a measure of reliability. Furthermore, it determines the quality of your initial forecast. The accuracy of your forecasts strongly depends on the stability of your system - the more stable your system is, the more dependable your forecasts will be.
With the Due Date Performance chart for Azure DevOps, you can filter your completed work by 'On-time work items' and 'Overdue work items' in order to perform a root cause analysis of the reasons behind your delays.
Your predicted time is calculated as the difference between the moment a work item first entered your workflow and the due date of the work item, while your completion time is the difference between the same starting point and the work item's actual completion date.
By clicking on each dot, you can access further details of the work item. This includes its total cycle time, its predicted time, a direct link to the card on your Azure board as well as the cycle times your work has spent in each process state.
Analyze your overdue work items individually and pay special attention to the states with the longest cycle times to locate the bottleneck impeding your system.
The line plotted across the chart is called a regression line. It flows roughly through the middle of all your completed work items. The slope of the regression line exposes the difference between your predicted time and the actual time needed to deliver your work.
The due date regression line helps you evaluate the accuracy of your predictions and gauge the efficiency of the system you are maintaining.
The 'On-Time Delivery' widget displays the percentage of times that you managed to deliver before your due date arrived. It also visualizes how your due date performance trends have moved over time.
The fundamental element of a due date performance analysis is assessing whether your work has been delivered on time. If the percentage is quite low, this denotes that your initial predictions are unrealistic. If that's the case, consider forecasting your work items using your past performance data with the Cycle Time Scatterplot for Azure DevOps.

A Liverpool pub that has become 'a legend among sailors the world over' now stands empty and largely forgotten in the city centre.
The Nook pub on the corner of Griffiths Street and Nelson Street in Liverpool's Chinatown became world famous when its name was spread by traveling businessmen and sailors in foreign ports during the maritime heyday from the city.
Since 1940 it has also been known as the Chinese Local, a plaque attesting that it is fixed to its Nelson Street facade and has been called "Britain's only Chinese pub".

Although the presence of Chinese in Liverpool dates back to 1834, it was in the 1860s that the first Chinese immigrants began to arrive thanks to Alfred Holt & Co, better known as the Blue Funnel Shipping Line, trading with the Far East and employing a large number of Chinese sailors.
Boarding houses were opened in the Pitt Street area near the docks, where Chinese sailors could stay with compatriots who spoke the same language.
During the May 1941 Blitz, German bombs wreaked havoc in Chinatown, destroying Pitt Street, Cleveland Square and Fredrick Street. This caused the Chinese community to move further inland to Nelson Street, Great George Street, Upper Parliament Street, Duke Street and Berry Street – areas of the city we now associate with Chinatown.
During Liverpool's heyday as a trading port, The Nook became a meeting place for seafarers and a hub for the local Chinese community.
However, it didn't just cater to Chinese sailors and the Chinese community, The Nook was a pub with a cosmopolitan reputation where sailors from all over the world rubbed shoulders with its regulars.
Does this bring back memories for you? Let us know in the comments section below.
From 1945 to 1974, The Nook was run by an Irish owner called Eileen Jones – one of the most respected and well-known licensees in town.
She was known to have an amazing collection of wide-brimmed hats and wore a different one every night – a fashion choice more likely to be spotted at Ascot than serving behind a bar.
In 1967, Eileen Jones was also crowned "Queen of Chinatown" by the Liverpool Press Club. Originally from County Cork, she came to Liverpool in 1930 with her husband and they originally owned a pub on Pitt Street.
In an article about Chinatown's dwindling population from its pre-war heyday published in the Liverpool Echo in 1974, the legendary landlady was quoted as saying: "To me it exists more than ever. My place is their only meeting place. It is a home for many and always will be."

The Nook passed into the hands of his son, Colman Fitzgerald, who carried on the pub's tradition of calling the time in English and Cantonese.
In a pub review in 1974, The Nook was described as: "[A] sailor's pub which counts among its regulars sailors from all over the world, but especially Chinese sailors, and the local Chinese community. If you call you will find the customers not only scrutinizing but downright friendly. The decor is oriental, with willow-like patterns on the tables, walls and lanterns, but the vibe is Scouse."
After being in the same family for 40 years, the keys to the pub were handed over to new management in 1985.
The pub's sad decline was documented in another Liverpool Echo review in 2008, when it was recently reported to resemble an 'abandoned bomb shelter'. But it was still "a lovely place full of character and characters".
After a pub facelift, the same review described how the portrait of The Nook's most famous owner "the feisty Mrs. Jones" is now gone, while the "gigantic world map showing the ancient maritime trade routes of yore has disappeared." also disappeared, collapsing during renovation."
After having its license suspended in 2009 when counterfeit cigarettes and vodka were found on the premises, Liverpool's once world-famous and most cosmopolitan pub has closed its doors.
In 2014, there were plans to convert the now derelict and condemned building into a living museum on Nelson Street. The plans involved creating a place where people could walk around and tell their stories, adding to the archives of the oldest Chinese community in Europe.
Unfortunately, the plans have yet to materialize and The Nook is empty. A sad elegy to a once legendary pub whose reputation for hospitality has crossed the oceans.

Born: 1919; Married: Norma Joan Bogg
Remarkable Canberran, Lyall Leslie Gillespie (OAM), needs little introduction. He had a distinguished career in public service, rising to the position of City Manager from 1978 to 1982.
But Gillespie is primarily remembered as one of the most prolific and well-respected historians of the ACT, with a particular interest in Ginninderra, where his own family had its pioneering roots. His legacy includes a historical database of 40,000 reference cards (now digitized), 1,600 historical photographs, a large collection of local Indigenous artifacts, and eight volumes on various topics from local history (including his seminal study on Ginninderra itself: Ginninderra: Forerunner to Canberra).
Lyall Gillespie was born at 'Cooee' in Hall Village in 1919, the son of William Gillespie and Lilian (nee Reid). The family moved away shortly after he was born, returning in 1926. He married Norma Joan Bogg in September 1941 and they rented a house together in Reid. He served in the armed forces in the Second World War. He and Norma had four children and remained living in Canberra's inner north for the rest of their lives.
Gillespie's son, Neil, donated the 'Gillespie Collection' to the Hall School Museum and Heritage Centre in 2015.

Convert OTT to MHTML using Python
OTT to MHTML, HtmlFixed and HTML conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word®.

For a Python developer, who is trying to add a OTT to MHTML (Web archive format) conversion feature or HtmlFixed mean want to save the document in the HTML format using absolutely positioned elements within application. Aspose.Total for Python via .NET API can help to automate the conversion process. It's a full package of various APIs dealing different formats.
We use Aspose.Words for Python via .NET API that is part of Aspose.Total for Python via .NET Package to add the OTT to MHTML conversion feature. In case the OTT file is simple then its just two lines of code. Load the OTT file and call the save method with appropriate file path along with SaveFormat enumeration as MHTML or HTML_FIXED. But in case if there is need to restore the document model as close to original one then there is need to save some extra information within resultant document called round-trip information.
How to Convert OTT to MHTML in Python
 - Load source OTT file using Document class
 - Create the instance of HtmlSaveOptions
 - Set the export_roundtrip_information as True
 - Specify the SaveFormat as MHTML
 - Call the save method while specifying output file path & SaveFormat as parameters. So your OTT file is converted to MHTML at the specified path
Conversion Requirements
 - For OTT to MHTML or HtmlFixed format conversion, Python 3.5 or later is required
 - Reference APIs within the project directly from PyPI ( Aspose.Words )
 - Or use the following pip commands pip install aspose.words
 - Moreover, Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS (see more for Words ) and for Linux check additional requirements for gcc and libpython and follow step by step instructions INSTALL

When I lecture about keeping a spreadsheet research log, I always tell the audience there is one thing they can definitely do WRONG. That is not keeping and using a research log.
[NOTE: I've written a newer post over at The Occasional Genealogist that talks about not keeping a research log. It actually does not disagree with this post but approaches this subject in a different way, I recommend reading it as well as this post to get a fuller understanding of "research logs."]

text: A dynamically weighted directed network (DWDN) is frequently encountered in various big data-related applications like a terminal interaction pattern analysis system (TIPAS) concerned in this study. It consists of large-scale dynamic interactions among numerous entities. Moreover, as the involved entities increase drastically, it becomes impossible to observe their full interactions at each time span, making a corresponding DWDN high-dimensional and incomplete. However, it contains vital knowledge regarding involved entities' behavior patterns. To extract such knowledge from DWDN, this paper proposes a novel Alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-based Nonnegative Latent-factorization of Tensors (ANLT) model. It adopts two novel ideas: a) building a data density-oriented augmented Lagrangian function for efficiently handling a tensor's incompleteness and nonnegativity; and b) splitting an optimization task in each iteration into an elaborately designed subtask series where each one is solved based on the previously solved ones following the ADMM principle to achieve fast model convergence. Experimental results on two large-scale DWDNs from a real TIPAS demonstrate that the proposed ANLT model outperforms state-of-the-art models significantly in both computational efficiency and prediction accuracy when addressing missing link prediction on DWDW.


text: This article models a dielectrophoresis based approach for achieving 3D focusing, of micro-scale objects, in microfluidic devices. The microfluidic device employs four planar electrodes; two electrodes each on the top and bottom surface of the microchannel and each slightly protrude into the microchannel. Each electrode establishes electric field with the neighboring electrode on the same and opposite surfaces. The dielectrophoretic force pushes the micro-scale objects both the directions transverse to the flow direction to achieve the desired 3D focusing. The developed model accounts for various forces such as that associated with inertia, sedimentation, drag, and dielectrophoresis. Finite difference method is used for calculating the electric field and dielectrophoretic force as well as the displacements of micro-scale objects in the microchannel. Several geometric and operating parameters influence the trajectory of micro-scale objects. There exists a threshold voltage beyond which there is no increase in levitation height.


The Working Classes in Revolutionary France
 - 1830 / 1832
 - 1848
 Works Cited
 - Where did the working class live?
 Boarding Houses
 Boarding Houses
 Workers who were just arriving in the city, whether for the season or forever, typically lived in boarding houses. Boarding houses were usually filled with workers who had come from the same region, and a newly arrived worker would seek out the boarding house from his region. There he would likely receive a warm welcome and help getting adjusted and finding a job.
 Boarding houses typically rented what they called furnished rooms by the night, week, or month. The rooms actually consisted only of dormitory style plank beds. Workers would often be assigned two to a bed with someone they had never met before. They, however, probably saw it as somewhat of an improvement over country life where families typically slept with the livestock.
 This picture shows a cross section of a typical apartment building. The working classes would occupy the fourth and most likely part of the fifth floor.
 Parisian House, about 1850.
 Workers who had families, or who had been established for longer often moved into apartments. They typically consisted of one or two rooms, which might be shared by more than one family or more than one generation of the same family. In addition, they also served as a workshop in many cases. For example, the husband of the family might be a weaver, in which case the looms would be set up around the apartment and the whole family would work on the weaving during the day.
 Apartment buildings of the time were typically large stone buildings with very little light or ventilation. The working class apartments in the building often did not have a fireplace or any other source of heat, and might not even have candles for light. this contibuted to the great popularity of cafes. An apartment building might have shared water and toilet on a landing or in a courtyard which all the families in the building would use. Because all provisions, including water had to be carried up the stairs, working class apartments usually occupied the upper or upper two floors of any building. The apartments might be as high as the sixth or seventh floor.
 The information on working class housing is taken from Traugott, p17-18 and throughout, as well as Maynes.


Husaby church with its impressive triple spire dating from the 11th century is Sweden's first bishop's church and one of the oldest buildings in Sweden today.
The interior of the church still has a medieval atmosphere. The font and triumphal cross inside the church date from the 13th century, as does the bishop's chair, which is one of the oldest pieces of Swedish furniture.
Husaby is best known for the fact that Olof Skötkonung was baptised here around 1000 CE. He was the first Christian king of Sweden. He ruled from the 990s until his death in 1022, and is said to have been the first king to rule over both Svealand and Götaland.
Next to the church we can see the remains of the bishop's castle. The castle was probably the royal farm of Olof Skötkonung, and later became the Husaby residence of the bishops of Skara, until the start of the Reformation in 1527. The castle has undergone several stages of reconstruction. The oldest part probably dates from the 12th century, but there are remains that are considerably older.

How A Lawyer Can Help After A Child Drowns In A Neighbor's Pool
Did your child drown in a neighbor's in-ground swimming pool due to a drain not being properly covered? If you have asked your neighbor for financial assistance with the situation and he or she refuses, you can get assistance from a personal injury lawyer. Take a look at this article to find out about the services that a lawyer can provide to help you receive justice for your deceased child.
1. Listen to Your Story
The first step to resolving your dispute is to explain to a lawyer what happened on the day of your child's drowning. Don't leave out any details that might be held against you by the defendant's lawyer if the case has to go to court. For instance, if your child was playing with the drain and removed the cover, you must tell your lawyer so a proper defense can be built.
2. Get Evidence to Prove Your Case
Your lawyer will gather evidence from the police station that details what happened on the day of the incident. For instance, the evidence will likely include photos of the drain and the condition of the cover. You will be asked to provide any medical bills that you may have that stemmed from the incident. Proof of your child's funeral expenses must be handed over to your lawyer, as well as for lost wages and counseling sessions. If other people were swimming in the pool, they may be questioned by your lawyer and asked to be witnesses if it becomes necessary.
3. Contact the Home Insurance Company
Your lawyer will find out if your neighbor has home insurance coverage so a file can be claimed on your behalf. The lawyer will talk to the insurance company about your evidence and how much money you should receive. If the insurance company does not want to pay the full amount of money that you are asking for, the matter can be taken to court. The case might also go to court if your neighbor's insurance policy will only cover up to a certain amount, which means you can possibly receive money from the insurance company and through a lawsuit.
4. File a Petition in Court
If court becomes necessary, your lawyer will file a petition that details what you are asking the other party to pay. Your lawyer will then present all of your evidence to a judge to prove that you deserve what you are asking for. Speak to a personal injury lawyer, such as the Erickson Law Office, about your complaint as soon as you are able to.

Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood: Early Childhood Grants
Deadline: Letter of Intent Due September 30, 2022
Category: Children; Development; Education; Nutrition,
The Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood supports promising research and development projects that appear likely to improve the welfare of young children, from infancy through 7 years, in the United States. Welfare is broadly defined to include physical and mental health, safety, nutrition, education, play, familial support, acculturation, societal integration and childcare.
Grants are only made if a successful project outcome will likely be of significant interest to other professionals, within the grantee's field of endeavor, and would have a direct benefit and potential national application. The Foundation's goal is to provide seed money to implement those imaginative proposals that exhibit the greatest chance of improving the lives of young children, on a national scale.
Grants are made in the areas of:
- Early childhood welfare
- Early childhood education and play
- Parenting education
Please contact Daniel Hadley if you are interested in applying to this opportunity.
