Evaluation of tourism web sites: A theoretical framework
The paper outlines a theoretical framework for the discussion and identification of indicators measuring the properties of web sites. In this framework we distinguish between the web site as a medium for describing an object, the web site as an object of description and the normative judgement of a web site. The framework is the basis for a project currently carried out and which has as its aim to establish indicators for tourism web sites and use them in an open benchmarking process to enforce the improvement of the set of independent web sites marketing a given tourist destination both individually and as a resource in the collective presentation of the destination. The case studied is the Sognefjord region in Western Norway.

Can buyers offeror?
In the context of the purchase of goods, the buyer will generally be the offeror. For example, if a merchant has a store filled with goods and a person picks up goods from the store and presents it to a cashier, the buyer is making an offer on the terms of the invitation to treat (advertised price).
What is the opposite of awful?
What's your offer meaning?
""What's your offer" woukd be the seller's first inquiry in a bartering transaction. Neither side (usually) is willing to be the first to state a price, since the seller would probably aim high and the buyer would aim low.
What does it mean when someone offers something to you?
To suggest or propose doing something on behalf of someone or for someone's benefit. Jim offered to cook dinner because I wasn't feeling very well. She offered to speak to the boss to clear the issue up. 2. To suggest or propose giving to someone as a gift, favor, payment, compensation, etc.
What is a cross offer?
A cross offer is made when both the parties make identical offers to each other without knowing that the other has made a similar offer. It lacks acceptance and communication. Thus, it does not form a valid contract.
Can an offeror revoke an offer?
An offeror may revoke an offer before it has been accepted, but the revocation must be communicated to the offeree, although not necessarily by the offeror. … However, an offer may not be revoked if it has been encapsulated in an option.
What is a special offer?
special offer | Business English goods that are sold at a lower price than usual: … a product or service that is offered free or at a very low price to encourage people to buy or use another product or service: The special offer includes an extra night's stay at the hotel for corporate customers.
Who is an offeror?
The offeror is the party who makes the offer. The offeree is the person who either accepts or does not accept the offer. … Once this offer is made to the offeree, something called power of acceptance comes into play. Power of acceptance means that the offer is now being controlled by the offeree.
Is it an offer or a offer?
An offer is the amount of money that someone says they will pay to buy something. The company accepted a takeover offer of $29.835 a share. … An offer is the amount of money that someone says they will pay to buy something.
What is a cross offer what is its effect?
Cross-offer is a contract law term that refers to an offer made to another in ignorance that the offeree has made the same offer to the offeror. In a cross offer both parties state to each other the same proposal.

goes for all of its keys). For example, if an endpoint has a user under the key user, other endpoints that contain a user should not have them under the key person;
 - if you have a kind of object under a key, and there's a possibility of it not existing, do not return any other kind of object under that key - either nil, null, or empty object (at the worst case). For example, do not return an empty array where you'd usually find a dictionary;
 - if most of your endpoints have one kind of structure, use it everywhere. For example, if three endpoints have a root dictionary, don't make your other two endpoints have a root array;
 - if you have some endpoints making use of REST methods, for example DELETE /users/1, don't have other endpoints use a path component for the same functionality, for example GET /posts/1/delete;
 - if you have several endpoints that can be queried with the same parameters, use the same names in all places. If one endpoint expects query and pageSize, don't have other endpoints expect q and ps;
 - for the same problem, always return the same HTTP code, for all endpoints. For example, if a resource can not be found, don't return 400 for one endpoint and 404 for another.
 2. If you're writing REST APIs, use its methods instead of path components:
 - GET to get a resource;
 - POST to create, instead of GET /users/create;
 - PUT to update, instead of GET /users/1/update;
 - DELETE to delete, instead of GET /users/1/delete;
 3. Use versioning: /v1/users/1. Even if you're absolutely sure you won't need it, it's still good practice. Never say never.
 4. Always have a container dictionary at the root level. This leaves room for adding new data in the future, while keeping the endpoint backwards-compatible. You might say that we can just create a new version for this endpoint, and you'd be right most of the time; but there are cases where you do not want to/can not create a new version yet:
{
 "id": 1234,
 "name": "Roland Leth"
}
// vs
{
 "user": {
 "id": 1234,
 "name": "Roland Leth"
 },

_URL_ Non-selectable UITextViews and URL interactions 2017-06-04T11:58 2017-06-04T11:58 Roland Leth _URL_ Say we have some HTML content we want to display in a UITextView:
if let stringData = string.data(using: .utf16),
 let attributedString = try? NSAttributedString(
 data: stringData,
 options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html],
 documentAttributes: nil) {
 attributedText = attributedString
}
else {
 attributedText = nil
}
For added complexity, let's assume the UITextView is inside a UIScrollView, meaning we'll most likely want the it to be non-editable, non-selectable and, for our case, non-scrollable as well. And here comes the tricky part: if we set its isSelectable property to false, URLs won't be tappable anymore, so we can't do that; we'll have to work around having isSelectable == true.
The first steps are to set the tintColor to .clear (the caret bugs sometimes), and reset the text selection, as it happens:
func textViewDidChangeSelection(_ textView: UITextView) {
 DispatchQueue.main.async {
 textView.selectedTextRange = nil
 }
}
This will "disable" text selection, but the loupe will still show up. If we want that to go away as well, we'll need to create a subclass, and use a little hack:
override func caretRect(for position: UITextPosition) -> CGRect {
 return CGRect(x: 0, y: contentSize.height * 1.25,
 width: 0, height: 0)
}
This will position the loupe in the given rect, which should be offscreen. In my case, I had a full-width, almost full-height UITextView, and these numbers worked just fine, but you'll need to adjust them according to your needs, based on contentSize, height and position. I'm not sure why, but giving x any value has no impact.
I've read and tried all other solutions involving canPerformAction, selectionRects, setting UIMenuController.shared.isMenuVisible to false, or intercepting touches, but I found this solution to be the most reliable one, even though it's basically a hack.
Update, Jun 4, 2017: As Saoud pointed out, there's a better approach. A bit more code, but I feel it's more appropriate, and it's hack free. Clearly this wasn't part of the things I tried in my "intercepting touches" attempts.
]]>
_URL_ Naming init parameters 2017-05-27T23:46 2017-05-27T23:46 Roland Leth _URL_ I used to name them by the type of the parameters passed in, for example:
let dictionary = ["name": "Sneakers", "price": "40"]
let product = Product(dictionary: dictionary)
let viewModel = ProductViewModel(product: product)
But lately, I've been using a more Swifty approach, by having an external name of from or with:
let dictionary = ["name": "Sneakers", "price": "40"]
let product = Product(from: dictionary)
let viewModel = ProductViewModel(with: product)
How do I pick between the two? I go with the following approach:
 - if the object relies entirely on the parameter, I use from
 - if the object has other properties, independent on the parameter, I use with
In our example above, the product is a model, and models are usually created entirely from a dictionary (a JSON), while the viewModel might have other properties, like numberOfSections & numberOfRows for a tableView or buttonTitle - "Buy" or "Sold Out", for example.
Is the difference too subtle and not worth stressing over? Or does it slightly improve the semantic? Let me know what you think @rolandleth.

_URL_ [SSS] Creating a sitemap 2017-05-05T18:10 2017-05-05T18:10 Roland Leth _URL_ Sitemaps are used by search engines to know what pages to crawl; they're basically a list of all the URLs available on a website. Last time we saw how to manually create an RSS feed by manually creating an XML document, and a sitemap is also just an XML document.
First, let's add the route to our droplet:
func addRoutes() -> Droplet {
 get("/sitemap.xml", handler: SitemapController.create)
 // [...]
}
As we saw in the previous post, we need a controller that has a method with the same signature as the handler:
struct SitemapController {
 static func create(with request: Request) throws -> ResponseRepresentable {
 // 1
 request.setValue("application/xml", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
 // 2
 let posts = try Post.query().sorted().run()
 }
}
We start by setting the content type to XML (1) again, and by fetching our posts (2). We won't be checking if there are no posts, because in that case, we will return all the static pages.
static func create(with request: Request) throws -> ResponseRepresentable {
 request.setValue("application/xml", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
 // 1
 let noPriority = [
 "privacy-policy",

 "projects/expenses-planner"

 let posts = try Post.query().sorted().run()
 let urls = noPriority + lowPriority + highPriority
 let root = "_URL_

From Supplyto Demand-led: Labour Training in Latin America
Over the past two decades, most Latin American countries began to see the need to reform their labour training systems. Up until this time, traditional training in Latin America had been supply-driven, with large-sized public sector institutions providing training based on what they perceived was needed within a state-led industrial development framework. Graduates of these training institutions were supposed to be absorbed by the emerging industrial sector. However, this model broke down during the crisis-ridden 1980s, as the firm-size structure of the economy shifted dramatically towards smaller firms and the informal sector grew exponentially. The response in the 1990s was a demand-driven approach, where the state had a role in financing, but much less so in providing training. A host of programmes along these lines were implemented across Latin America, many of which included built-in impact evaluations. This Brief begins by describing general features of the shift to a demand-led approach to labour training and highlights some of the main programmes in the region. It then presents the results of the impact evaluations undertaken, concluding with some key lessons that may be useful for labour training initiatives in other contexts.
- The market mechanisms of the demand-driven model have encouraged competition among training institutions and the creation of a market for training in cases where none existed previously. Key elements for the success of these programmes are in the design: private sector participation in consultations during the design phase; competition promoted on the basis of relevance, quality and cost-efficiency; and a clear mechanism to link training to a future job, such as through internships.
- Although measured impacts are hardly homogeneous, some clear patterns emerge across countries and programmes. In particular, impacts on job quality - through formal sector employment and higher wages - seem more likely than on employment rates alone.
- Interestingly, impacts among women are both more frequent and larger than for men. This indicates that these programmes may play an important role as policies orientated to reduce gender gaps in the labour market.

Chestnut Trees and Chestnuts
Home Company Products/Sales Chestnuts Information The Farm
Chestnut Tree Pollination
Chestnut trees are a fruiting tree. Like most all other fruiting trees, chestnut trees require proper pollination to successfully set fruit. The ability of a fruiting tree to set fruit and carry it to harvest is dependent on many conditions to be met. For chestnuts these conditions are:
 1. Healthy trees – stressed trees are poor producers of chestnuts
 2. Genetically capable of setting fruit – some seedlings never produce fruit
 3. Weather conditions during the growing season
 4. Available and viable male and female flowers
 5. Mature trees
 6. Pollen available and viable during the period the female flowers are receptive
Cross Pollination of Chestnut Trees for Nut Production
Chestnut trees by themselves are not self pollinating. In other words, a chestnut tree all by itself usually will not produce any chestnuts with the kernel filled in. This chapter attempts to explain the somewhat complex subject of getting chestnut trees to successfully fruit with mature, good tasting nuts. Chestnut trees can be grouped into four groups as it pertains to pollination.
 1. Pollen producers with viable pollen
 2. Pollen producers with sterile pollen
 3. Non pollen producing catkins (male flowers)
 4. Non pollen producers having little or no catkins
Only chestnut trees producing viable pollen can pollinate other chestnut trees. Chestnut trees are generally not able to pollinate themselves. Isolated chestnut trees where pollen from other chestnut trees is not available rarely produce any nuts with filled in kernels. So far this is a simple example, one chestnut tree and no nuts, but it overlooks the pollination rule for chestnut trees where a cloned chestnut cultivar can not pollinate the same cloned cultivar. For example, a cloned (grafted) Marival chestnut tree can not successfully pollinate another Marival chestnut tree even though it produces an abundance of viable pollen. This rule only applies to grafted cloned trees pollinating their own clone. A seedling from a cloned tree tree can pollinate its own cloned parent. One of the best ways to demonstrate this pollination rule is with a simple logic representation of the rules. First lets equate the letters CP as a cloned pollen producing chestnut tree producing viable pollen. Then assign CN as a cloned chestnut tree that does not produce pollen. In the logic equations the first trees in the equation represents the female flower and the second tree is the male catkin tree.
CN + CP = nuts on CN tree
CP + CN = no nuts on either tree
CP + CP = no nuts on either tree
CP + CN = no nuts on either tree
Now lets introduce a second pollinator and identify the the two pollen producing trees as CP1 and CP2. Chestnuts will be produced when the following conditions are present:
CP1 + CP2; CP2 + CP1; CN + CP1, CN + CP2, CP2 + CP1
Casual observation shows that by introducing a second pollinator the combination of nut producing trees is dramatically increased. With the use of at least 2 chestnut cultivars that produce viable pollen close enough to each other, all the chestnut trees will have the potential to produce nuts. Aside from just viable issues there is a timing issue also.
Pollination Timing in Chestnuts
Chestnut trees can start blooming in the northern hemisphere as early as May and the bloom can continue until the first part of August depending on local climate conditions and latitude. The farther north the trees, the later they will bloom. The male flowers (catkins) usually start blooming within a day or two of the female flowers on the same tree. It is possible to have two different chestnut trees with both producing viable pollen, but due to bloom time differences, the pollination of the female flowers fails and no nut set occurs. Apple pollination is similar with the exception of the male and female flowers bloom at the same time (the male and female parts are present in each blossom). The similarity referred to here is where the apple is not self fertile so another type of apple with the same flowering period must be present to provide pollen for successful fruit set. Apples have 5 groups of pollination periods. These periods are 1)Early; 2) Early-mid; 3) Mid; 4) Mid-late; and 5) Late.
Because chestnut trees bloom for a longer period than apples, only 3 periods are needed to group chestnuts into. These periods are 1) Early; 2) Mid; and 3) Late. Most chestnut trees begin blooming in one period and continue into the next period. For example, Marival begins blooming (catkins release pollen or female flowers become receptive) early and continue blooming into the late period.
Chestnut tree cultivars that release their pollen in the late period can not be used as pollinators for early and mid period blooms. Marrone chestnut trees are one of the last chestnut trees to release their pollen but the female flowers have been receptive for up to 2 weeks. This period where the female flowers are receptive is difficult to predict because it is weather dependent. If the weather is too cool for the female flowers to be receptive of pollen during the receptive period, pollination will fail. The best way to demonstrate this is with a time line. In this time line example the overlaps are the important areas to understand. Lets say chestnut cultivar EC is a pollinator that starts releasing pollen the mid part of the early period and continues into the first week of the late period. On a time line it would look like this on a 6 week time line:
Chestnut Tree Bloom Time Line
Now lets add the late blooming LC chestnut cultivar to the time line.
Chestnut Tree Bloom Time Line
The BW period is a period where the weather is not supportive of pollination of the chestnut female flowers. In this example the EC chestnuts will not successfully set fruit. Also, because LC releases its pollen too late for the EC female flowers, the LC can not be used as a pollinator for the EC chestnut trees.
Lets go from theoretical to practical with some real data. The data comes from Missouri State University Agroforestry Department. The data is collected from their research facility in New Franklin, MO. A Chinese hybrid Dustin chestnut tree on average starts its female flower bloom on June 8 each year. The female flower on average ends it bloom on June 24. The male flower on average starts its bloom on June 7 and ends flowering on July 4. When selecting a matching chestnut tree to pollinate the Dustin, the bloom times need to overlap at least by 5-7 days. A Qing is a excellent match for the Dustin. The Qing chestnut tree starts the female bloom on average on June 8 and ends on June 24. The male flower on average starts on June7 and ends on July 4. Both the Dustin and the Qing are Chinese hybrid chestnut trees.
Now lets look at some European and compare the bloom times in New Franklin, MO with data from Northwest Washington state. One of the most popular chestnut trees grown in the Western USA is the Colossal. It is pollen sterile so there is no male bloom period to compare. The female bloom time starts on average on May 31 and stops on June 22 at the Franklin farm. In NW WA the female flower bloom period starts about July 2 and ends July 27. A good pollinator for the Colossal is Marigoule. In Franklin the Marigoule male flower starts on average June 3 and ends on June 28. This provides almost 3 weeks of overlap in the pollination period. Because the Colossal is pollen sterile the Marigoule will not set any nuts unless another pollen producing chestnut tree is introduced.
So what must a chestnut farmer do to make sure the chestnut trees on the farm produce a full set of chestnuts? There are two simple possible solutions. The first is to grow at least two different chestnut trees that share the same pollination periods and both produce viable pollen. The other solution is to plant several chestnut cultivars that produce pollen over all three pollen periods. This is what we call "covering your bases". Based on the data collected at the Franklin, MO farm, the main issue with successful chestnut set is growing chestnut trees that produce viable pollen that can cross pollinate each other. In Northwest Washington state pollination timing is more complicated because some chestnut cultivars such as Maronni and Belle Epine bloom much later than commonly used pollinates such as Okie and Precoce Migoule. One last thing, no matter what type of chestnut tree you grow (American, Chinese, Japanese, European, and all of their hybrids), if it produces viable pollen, it is capable of providing pollen to any other chestnut tree.
Evaluating the Pollination of Chestnut Trees
How do you know if the chestnut trees are getting pollinated properly or not? The evaluation of the pollination success rate is directly related to the chestnut kernels getting filled in fully. If most of the nuts in the burrs are blanks (have no kernel meat) then pollination failure is the most likely cause. Most chestnut trees produce 2 or 3 nuts per burr. If the pollination is successful all the nuts in the burr will be filled in. If pollination was only partially successful

Prasad is the reverse of dakshina in Hindu religious and spiritual practices - it is a gift from the guru or god back to the devotee, usually in the form of food. The devotee, having offered his or her gift, is given a sweetmeat or a piece of fruit from a large bowl. This is prasad, and represents the offering of divine grace to the devotee in return for their own gesture of practice and devotion.
On special occasions and large feasts the prasad at a Hindu temple gets a little more fancy - large handfuls of Biryani rice and mouthfuls of sweet yoghurt are common. Prasad is tremendously important in Hinduism, and in the traditions of guru-devotion, and if a devotee is lucky enough to be given a significant piece of prasad, for example a personal item of the guru, it will be treasured as if it was made of solid gold for the rest of that person's life. Often a guru will give his sandals as prasad to the most advanced or favoured of devotees.

the null indicator information in the parallel null structure, then upon object flush the object attributes will be set to
NULL in the database.
If you want to set all of the attributes to
NULL during object creation, you can use the
LNOCI_OBJECT_NEW_NOTNULL attribute of the environment handle using the LNOCIAttrSet() function. When set, this attribute creates a non-null object. That is, all the attributes are set to default values provided by Oracle and their null status information in the parallel null indicator structure is set to
NULL. Using this attribute eliminates the additional step of changing the indicator structure. You cannot change the default values provided by Oracle. Instead, you can populate the object with your own default values immediately after object creation.
When LNOCIObjectNew() is used to create a persistent object, the caller must identify the database table into which the newly created object is to be inserted. The caller identifies the table using a table object. Given the schema name and table name, the LNOCIObjectPinTable() function returns a pointer to the table object. Each call to LNOCIObjectPinTable() results in a call to the server to fetch the table object information. The call to the server happens even if the required table object has been previously pinned in the cache. When the application is creating multiple objects to be inserted into the same database table, Oracle Corporation recommends that the table object be pinned once and the pointer to the table object be saved for future use. Doing so improves performance of the application.
Before you can update an object, the object must be pinned in the cache. After pinning the object, the application can update the desired attributes directly. You must make a call to the LNOCIObjectMarkUpdate() function to indicate that the object has been updated. Objects which have been marked as updated are placed in a dirty list and are flushed to the server upon cache flush or when the transaction is committed.
You can delete an object by calling the LNOCIObjectMarkDelete() function or the LNOCIObjectMarkDeleteByRef() function.
You can control the size of the object cache by using the following two OCI environment handle attributes:
LNOCI_ATTR_CACHE_MAX_SIZEcontrols the maximum cache size
LNOCI_ATTR_CACHE_OPT_SIZEcontrols the optimal cache size
You can get or set these OCI attributes using the LNOCIAttrGet() or LNOCIAttrSet() functions. Whenever memory is allocated in the cache, a check is made to determine whether the maximum cache size has been reached. If the maximum cache size has been reached, the cache automatically frees (ages out) the least-recently used objects with a pin count of zero. The cache continues freeing such objects until memory usage in the cache reaches the optimal size, or until it runs out of objects eligible for freeing. The object cache does not limit cache growth to the maximum cache size. The servicing of the memory allocation request could cause the cache to grow beyond the specified maximum cache size. These two parameters allow the application to control the frequency of object aging from the cache.
Pinning is the process of retrieving an object from the server to the client cache, laying it in memory, providing a pointer to it for an application to manipulate, and marking the object as being in use. The LNOCIObjectPin() function de-references the given
REF and pins the corresponding object in the cache. A pointer to the pinned object is returned to the caller and this pointer is valid as long as the object is pinned in the cache. This pointer should not be used after the object is unpinned because the object may have aged out and therefore may no longer be in the object cache.
The following are examples of LNOCIObjectPin() and LNOCIObjectUnpin() calls:
status = OCIObjectPin(envh, errh, empRef,(OCIComplexObject*)0, OCI_PIN_RECENT, OCI_DURATION_TRANSACTION, OCI_LOCK_NONE, (dvoid**)&emp); /* manipulate emp object */ status = OCIObjectUnpin(envh, errh, emp);
empRef parameter passed in the pin call specifies the
REF to the desired employee object. A pointer to the employee object in the cache is returned in the
You can use the LNOCIObjectPinArray() function to pin an array of objects in one call. This function de-references an array of
REFs and pins the corresponding objects in the cache. Objects that are not already cached in the cache are retrieved from the server in one network round-trip. Therefore, calling LNOCIObjectPinArray() to pin an array of objects improves application performance. Also, the array of objects you are pinning can be of different types.
When pinning an object, you can use the pin option argument to specify whether the recent version, latest version, or any version of the object is desired. The valid options are explained in more detail in the following list:
LNOCI_PIN_RECENTpin option instructs the object cache to return the object that is loaded into the cache in the current transaction; in other words, if the object was loaded prior to the current transaction, the object cache needs to refresh it with the latest version from the database. Succeeding pins of the object within the same transaction would return the cached copy and would not result in database access. In most cases, you should use this pin option.
LNOCI_PIN_LATESTpin option instructs the object cache to always get the latest copy of the object. If the object is already in the cache and not-locked, the object copy is refreshed with the latest copy from the database. On the other hand, if the object in the cache is locked, Oracle assumes that it is the latest copy, and the cached copy is returned. You should use this option for applications that must display the most recent copy of the object, such as applications that display stock quotes, current account balance, and so forth.
LNOCI_PIN_ANYpin option instructs the object cache to fetch the object in the most efficient manner; the version of the returned object does not matter. The pin any option is appropriate for objects which do not change often, such as product information, parts information, and so forth. The pin any option also is appropriate for read-only objects.
When pinning an object, you can specify the duration for which the object is pinned in the cache. When the duration expires, the object is unpinned automatically from the cache. The application should not use the object pointer after the object's pin duration has ended. An object can be unpinned prior to the expiration of its duration by explicitly calling the LNOCIObjectUnpin() function. Oracle supports two pre-defined pin durations:
LNOCI_DURATION_SESSION) lifetime is the duration of the database connection. Objects that are required in the cache at all times across transactions should be pinned with session duration.
LNOCI_DURATION_TRANS) lifetime is the duration of the database transaction. That is, the duration ends when the transaction is rolled back or committed.
When pinning an object, the caller can specify whether the object should be locked using lock options. When an object is locked, a server-side lock is acquired, which prevents any other user from modifying the object. The lock is released when the transaction commits or rolls back. The following list describes the available lock options:
LNOCI_LOCK_NONElock option instructs the cache to pin the object without locking.
LNOCI_LOCK_Xlock option instructs the cache to pin the object only after acquiring a lock. If the object is currently locked by another user, the pin call with this option waits until it can acquire the lock before returning to the caller. Using the
LNOCI_LOCK_Xlock option is equivalent to executing a
SELECT FOR UPDATEstatement.
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAITlock option instructs the cache to pin the object only after acquiring a lock. Unlike the
LNOCI_LOCK_Xoption, the pin call with
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAIToption will not wait if the object is currently locked by another user. Using the
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAITlock option is equivalent to executing a
SELECT FOR UPDATE WITH NOWAITstatement.
Depending upon how frequently objects are updated, you can choose which locking options from the previous section to use.
If objects are updated frequently, you can use the pessimistic locking scheme. This scheme presumes that contention for update access is frequent. Objects are locked before the object in the cache is modified, ensuring that no other user can modify the object until the transaction owning the lock performs a commit or rollback. The object can be locked at the time of pin by choosing the appropriate locking options. An object that was not locked at the time of pin also can be locked by the function
LNOCIObjectLock(). The locking function
LNOCIObjectLockNoWait() does not wait to acquire the lock if another user holds a lock on the object.
If objects are updated infrequently, you can use the optimistic locking scheme. This scheme presumes that contention for update access is rare. Objects are fetched and modified in the cache without acquiring a lock. A lock is acquired only when the object is flushed to the server. Optimistic locking allows for a higher degree of concurrent access than pessimistic locking. To use optimistic locking most effectively, the Oracle object cache detects if an object is changed by any other user since it was fetched into the cache. By turning on the object change detection mode, object modifications are made persistent only if the object has not been changed by any other user since it was fetched into the cache. This mode is activated by setting
LNOCI_OBJECT_DETECTCHANGE attribute of the environment handle using the
Changes made to the objects in the object cache are not sent to the database until the object cache is flushed. The
LNOCICacheFlush() function flushes all changes in a single network round-trip between the client and the server. The changes may involve insertion of new objects

The Philippines is blessed with a very high biodiversity, including the plants living in its remaining forest cover. Trees alone comprise about 3500 species. Just to research on a species a day would take about 10 years to finish all of just the trees. Then there are still the shrubs, herbs, ferns etc. Through this blog we hope to introduce you to some important plants in the forest before they completely disappear because of habitat destruction.

Another Katmon in Flower
Dillenia sibuyanensis in flower
Flower is much smaller than a katmon's
Quick Post: I was gifted by Wendy Regalado with a cutting of Dillenia sibuyanensis or katmon-sibuyan. In about 8 months it established itself then grew from 6 inches to about 2 feet. The other day I saw it in flower. It had a smaller flower compared to Dillenia philippinensis, but has an attractive yellow flower. It must be a delight to see a specimen heavily laden with the yellow blooms. For now I have to contented with the single flower, and at least I know my plant will be doing so someday.

Von Finckenstein treasure buried in 1945 discovered in Masuria
Family heirlooms and belongings of the Prussian family von Finckenstein, former owners of the manor in Gubławki, hidden in the ground in 1945, have been found in the forest at Lake Jeziorak in Masuria. The discovery was presented in Iława.
Some of several hundred documents and other objects were presented during the press conference at the Iława district office. They spent over 70 years in tin cans, buried near the village of Gubławki at Lake Jeziorak.
Most of the objects are family heirlooms once owned by count Hans Joachim von Finckenstein, the owner of the local estate until 1945. They include numerous documents, such as the count's last will with the family seal and coat of arms, his personal documents and a diary from the time of the First World War.
Hidden with them were personal belongings of the Prussian aristocrat: glasses, toiletries and pieces of clothing, hunting accessories, military decorations as well as Wehrmacht officer uniform and equipment. The deposit also included banknotes, jewellery, a pocket watch and a silver spoon, as well as letters and postcards, notes and family photo albums.
Two milk cans buried in the ground were found accidentally by Patryk Lessman (14), who spent May holiday with his parents on a plot on Jeziorak. The boy's parents reported the discovery to regional history researchers from Iława - Michał Młotek and Dariusz Paczkowski. The find was secured and reported to the monument protection services, and then transported to the Museum of Archaeology and History in Elbląg.
The discovery was made almost a year ago, but it was announced only now due to the need for inventory, conservation and detailed research in the place where the deposit was found.
Members of the Iława Search Group searched the place of discovery with metal detectors at the request of the provincial conservator. They did not come across any other items related to the Finckenstein deposit. Michał Młotek found a battle axe from the late Middle Ages, which he donated to the museum in Ostróda. The searchers probably found relics of a medieval fortified settlement. The area is under conservation care and detailed archaeological research will be conducted there in the future.
The most important part of the von Finckenstein deposit, the historical and scientific monuments, is the property of the State Treasury. The objects will be exhibited in one of the museums in Warmia and Mazury. The museum staff will also to translate and make a scientific description of the count's diary from the First World War.
The remainder of the find are personal items. Pursuant to the Law on Found Items, they have been returned to the heirs of the former owners. The starost of Iława Marek Polański handed them over to Count von Finckenstein's daughter. Mrs. Waldtraut (81) came from Germany to retrieve them. She was very touched and thanked for returning valuable heirlooms to her.
The daughters of the owners of the manor in Gubławki - Waldtraut and Margarete - were sent to a family living in Western Pomerania a few months before the arrival of the Red Army. Their parents did not manage to escape the front. In March 1945, the count was arrested by Soviet soldiers and died in the camp in Pasłęk. His wife Hildegarda remained on the estate until November 1945, working for the Russians with other women. Then she left for Germany, where she was reunited with her children.
According to the findings of Michał Młotek, who described the story of finding the deposit on his website zdziennikaodkrywcy.pl, the count's wife was probably the one who buried the family heirlooms in cans before leaving. "You can guess that these were things that could be used again after being retrieved, most of them had a sentimental value, so in a sense they were a family treasure, although we call it a deposit" - Młotek says.
In his opinion, a particularly interesting item for historians among the preserved documents is a unique letter of safe conduct issued to the owners of the mansion in Gubławki by a Soviet front officer who wrote: "Comrades and soldiers, please do not harm the inhabitants of this house. They welcomed us". Another document written in Russian mentions the appropriation of cattle and other livestock from the estate by the Red Army "by order of the front commander".
The Finckensteins - like the Dohns, the Doenhoffs and the Lehndorfs - belonged to the most influential aristocratic families in Prussia. Their ancestors probably came to these lands from the Duchy of Carinthia in the beginning of the 14th century, along with other knights who provided military support to the Teutonic Order.
For hundreds of years, representatives of this family held many important offices and military functions and the total area of their lands reached 14 thousand hectares. In the vicinity of Iława, they owned a Gothic castle in Szymbark and a baroque palace in Kamieniec, which are now in ruins.
The land estate in Gubławki, near which the deposit was found, in the years _PHONE_ belonged to the branch of the Finckenstein family from Jaśkowo. After the Second World War, a state-owned farm was established on the estate, and the manor house was adapted for offices and employee flats. (PAP)

Longstreet Highroad Guide to the North Georgia Mountains
The Chickamauga Valley lies between the Cumberland Plateau's Lookout Mountain to the west and the Armuchee Ridges to the east. Where it divides the "thumb" of Pigeon Mountain from Lookout Mountain is the famed McLemore Cove. The Chickamauga Valley forms a natural passageway between the high ridges on either side. Because it gives access to both Chattanooga and the Tennessee River and contains a few low ridges, it was the site of much movement and conflict during the Civil War.
The Chickamauga Valley is not just one valley but a series of northeast-southwest trending valleys with limestone floors and ridges some 200 to 300 feet high, capped with more weather-resistant rock. Down through these valleys and across the ridges between Chattanooga and Atlanta, Union army forces under General William Sherman pursued Confederate troops during the fighting which led to the Battle of Atlanta near the end of the Civil War. Visitors to the military parks at Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Orchard Knob, as well as other areas such as the lovely and serene McLemore Cove, will come away with a clearer understanding of how the natural geology of the region has helped shape recent human history.
From the Chickamauga Valley, especially GA 337, one can reach a variety of natural features lying at the base of the Pigeon Mountain escarpment. These include giant, dry, forest sinkholes; Blue Hole; and the entrances to the enchanting Dickson and McWhorter gulfs, deeply eroded into Pigeon Mountain's east wall.
[Fig. 5(13)] A postcard-pretty valley nestled in the V formed by Lookout Mountain and Pigeon Mountain, the McLemore Cove Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The steep limestone and sandstone walls of the mountains form a dramatic backdrop for a scenic drive through the cove. The area is almost exclusively agricultural, with small dairy farms taking up most of the land. At the southwest end of the cove is a portion of the picturesque 11,500-acre Mountain Cove Farm. Red cedars which thrive on the limestone soil here are profuse throughout the cove, particularly along West Cove Road, as indicated by the names of the natural features and landmarks: Cedar Grove Creek, Cedar Grove community, and Cedar Grove Church and Cemetery. Perhaps nowhere else in Georgia are so many cedars concentrated in such a small area.
The cove, which was named for Robert and John McLemore, sons of a white trader and a Cherokee mother, is just south of Chickamauga Battlefield. One of the Civil War battles took place at Davis Crossroads.
Near Cedar Grove Methodist Church, a large number of Union soldiers spent the night of September 17, 1863, immediately prior to the historic Battle of Chickamauga. Another antebellum structure is the 130-year-old, plantation-plain style farmhouse where the Hise family has lived for generations. It is located.5 mile south of Mt. Hermon Church on Hog Jowl Road. Most of the other old houses and buildings in the cove are not antebellum but date from the 1890s, when the railroad was built through the northern part of the cove.
This park is comprised of four separate battlefield sitesChickamauga, Point Park, Orchard Knob, and Missionary Ridge. The park became the first of four military parks established by Congress between 1890 and 1899, the others being Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg.
CHICKAMAUGA. [Fig. 5(7)] The Civil War battle of Chickamauga, in the northwest corner of Georgia, was the first of a series of decisive battles that culminated in the fall of Atlanta and brought the Civil War to a close. A Union force of about 58,000 men and a Confederate force of about 66,000 men clashed on the battlefield at Chickamauga September 1920, 1863. The result, after 34,000 casualties (3,969 dead), was that the Union army retreated north to Chattanooga, then a town of about 2,500 people, and the Southern forces occupied Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain, which bordered the town. Troops from 29 of the 33 states east of the Rockies engaged in the campaign; four states had troops on both sides.
The Chickamauga Battlefield visitor center has an excellent small museum containing artifacts related to the Civil War. It also houses the Fuller Gun Collection, which consists of 355 weapons dating from the Revolutionary War period through World War II. A 26-minute, multimedia show is presented daily. Books on Civil War history and four rental audiocassettes are available.
The major points of interest on the Chickamauga Battlefield, which when the battle was fought consisted of small fields, dense woods, and thick underbrush, can be reached by following a 7-mile driving tour. Monuments and markers along the road indicate the locations of units and batteries engaged in the battle.
Chickamauga contains remarkable natural environments. In the eastern portion is Georgia's best example of the remarkable cedar glades, where red cedars dominate an open forest community. The thin soil over a limestone outcrop supports rare and unique prairie plants, some found nowhere else in the state. There are late-summer displays of showy coneflowers and black-eyed susans. The only year-round stream, Cave Springs Creek, has rich aquatic fauna; large shell-bark hickories grow along it. Two quarry ponds lie just east of US 27 near its junction with Viniard Road. Several limesinks, or sagponds, occur. The most historic is Bloody Pond, near the southwestern corner of the park. The largest and most interesting limesink is just north of Alexander's Bridge over Chickamauga Creek in the southeast corner of the park. It contains huge, 36-inch-diameter willow oaks buttressed at the base. Staff is not available to assist in nature tours.
POINT PARK. [Fig. 5(3)] Point Park, although located in the Cumberland Plateau, is more conveniently discussed here, in the Chickamauga Valley section. After the Battle of Chickamauga, the Union army retreated to Chattanooga, and the Confederate army reformed battle lines around the city with the intention of starving and freezing the Union troops into submission. Point Park, strategically positioned on top of Lookout Mountain, was the location of one of those battle lines. The dominance of the location over the city below cannot be fully grasped until one stands on the edge of Point Park and looks down on Chattanooga.
A visit to this park is an opportunity to visualize the grand strategy of a major Civil War battle. During the Battle of Lookout Mountain, termed the "Battle Above the Clouds" because during the fighting a band of mist and fog hung around the middle of the mountain, the Union army drove the Confederates from their position and effectively gained control of the city.
Point Park is on the northeastern tip of Lookout Mountain. The welcome center contains a fine 13-foot-by-30-foot mural painted by James Walker, an eyewitness to the battle. A tape recording provides a narrative that describes the scene and effectively draws the visitor into the action. The small Ochs Museum in the park has an observation deck which affords a commanding view of the area.
ORCHARD KNOB. [Fig. 5(4)] This hill in front of Missionary Ridge was initially the forward position of the Confederate defense line. It was taken by Union forces, and from here General Ulysses Grant commanded the assault on Missionary Ridge. On November 25, 1863, six cannon shot from this hill signaled the beginning of the battle for the ridge. Visitors will find a half dozen state monuments and a number of cannon, but the real reason to visit Orchard Knob is the geographical perspective it gives to the fighting between Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.
MISSIONARY RIDGE. [Fig. 5(5)] Missionary Ridge was occupied by the Confederate forces after the Battle of Chickamauga and was part of the battle line around Chattanooga. During the battle for the city, Union troops attacked and captured the ridge. Along the ridge are remarkable views of Orchard Knob, Chattanooga, and Lookout Mountain. Markers, plaques, and gun positions give details of troop positions and describe the action in which various units participated. The historical markers are dispersed among elegant houses.

Parents' Guide: Assassin's Creed Origins (PEGI 18+)
Assassin's Creed Origins is the tenth in the series of action adventure games from Ubisoft where players explore a pseudo-historical open world setting to kill targets, collect items and access more of the world.
This game follows the story of Egyptian assassins taking down a secret order that threatens Cleopatra's power. Players explore open-world Egyptian, Greek, and Roman environments with missions to find, stalk, and kill human enemies.
While the game's main aim isn't to recreate history, it does take its setting and time period seriously. This year there will be a Discovery Tour mode that creates interactive history lessons with audio narration, pictures, drawings but without the combat.
In the UK, Assassin's Creed Origins is rated by PEGI as only suitable for those 18 and overbecause of depictions of gross violence towards human characters, motiveless killing of multiple innocent humans characters, violence towards vulnerable human characters, depictions of sexual activity with visible genital organs, and use of sexual expletives.
The VSC expands on its PEGI rating by highlight that the game "includes dismemberment and horrific depictions of death. These acts of violence are often paired with strong blood and gore visuals".
"This game features depictions of motiveless killing of innocent human characters." When doing this in the game, the VSC highlight that "The deaths can be graphic in nature with strong blood effects shown". There is also violence towards more vulnerable characters. "During a cutscene a child is held by the shoulders and is then stabbed in the torso."
There is also sex in the game, with "depictions of sexual activity with visible genital organs". In a brothel in the game there are "naked couples [that] can be seen and heard having sex through a metal partition. This game also contains frequent use of sexual expletives. The words 'f**k' and 'c*nt' are found throughout."
Parental Control Settings
There are controls to turn off violence or blood in Assassin's Creed: Origins in the PC version of the game.
If you are playing the game in a family with younger members you can control access to the game via the Parental Controls of your system.
This enables you to set-up user accounts for children that only allow games of a specific rating to be played without entering a password.
If you do this, remember to require a password to log into the parent account.
You can consider the following alternatives for younger players. These are no less exciting or exuberant but they dial down the violence with content appropriate to youngsters.

New monitoring equipment indicates that Port Alberni is enjoying some of the best air quality it's had in years, Air Quality Council official Bernadette Wyton said.
This despite an air quality advisory that was issued earlier this week when a temperature inversion settled over the city.
According to Wyton, the new equipment atop Alberni Elementary School interfaces with a provincial weather database allowing for more comprehensive data to be generated.
The equipment measures fine particulate matter in the air. In particular, it measures Fine Particulate 2.5, which at levels over 25 micrograms trips an air quality advisory.
On Monday an air quality advisory was issued for the Valley after fine particulate measured 26 micrograms.
The cause of the advisory was two-fold, Wyton said. One, a thick, stagnant air mass is hovering over Vancouver Island trapping any smoke that goes up. And two, a recent land clearing burn contributed to the spike, she said.
Despite the event, recent measurements show that Port Alberni's air quality has been good, she added. In 2006, the Particulate Matter 2.5 average measurement prorated over the year was 12. In 2012, the average measurement for one year was 6.0. "Our air quality is lower or better than in Duncan or Courtenay."
The improvement can be contributed to a few things, Wyton said. Firstly, people are more aware of clean air and airshed issues, she said. Also, climate patterns in 2012 were wet, and rain serves to rinse particulates out of the air. A $15,000 woodstove exchange program was underwritten by the province last year in an effort to encourage up to 50 Alberni residents to replace their old stoves with cleaner burning models.
Combined with exchange programs in previous years there have been 220 old stoves swapped so far. The number equates to 15 tonnes of pollution, Wyton said. The bylaw expires after 2017 and old stoves won't be certified afterward, Wyton said.
As incentive, the city has agreed to waive the $100 wood stove inspection fee for the 50 people who have applied for the program.

A Note From Reichert AI Regarding Coronavirus COVID-19
The illuminated table stand is compatible with the Reichert Goldberg series precision refractometers. These are the Reichert TS Meter, Reichert Brix, and Reichert Salinity refractometers. This stand allows the technician to securely attach their refractometer into a stable and durable table top stand, thus converting their hand held refractometer into a benchtop configuration. This is very useful for applications that require high volume throughput measurements.
Also, this is beneficial in applications such as measuring Urine Specific Gravity and Plasma Protein concentrations, where the technician desires additional safety measures when handling these fluids. The refractometer is mounted on a pivoting arm that allows the technician to adjust the refractometer position at the light source to obtain the best image illumination. This aids in reading the shadowline intersect to the measurement scale.

Get the New Statesman\'s Morning Call email.
An artificial robot designed to stimulate the experience of sex with a woman has had to be repaired after hours of being groped and fondled at a convention in Austria. I have…questions.
 1. Didn't this all occur in a public space?
 2. I mean, even before you get into how essentially creepy the whole thing is, did this literally happen in public?
 3. Did men queue to do this?
 4. Was there a literal queue of men waiting to grope the sex robot?
 5. Did they make small talk in the queue?
 6. What was the small talk about?
 7. Did it relate to the matter in hand, as it were, or did they range across other topics?
 8. Were friendships formed as men discovered they shared an interest in the work of Martin Amis or the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as fondling robots?
 9. Did they talk about their jobs?
 10. Were business cards exchanged?
 11. According to reports, the robot had to be sent back for repairs in a parcel, and some of its fingers were broken. Seriously, what?
 12. There was…fluid in the robot. Can I repeat my questions about a public space, in front of other people.
 13. Didn't anyone notice that the robot was in distress?
 14. Are we the baddies?

text: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue archives are the largest and longest time-spanning collections of patient material in pathology archives. Methods to disclose information with molecular techniques, such as array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) have rapidly developed but are still not optimal. Array comparative genomic hybridisation is one efficient method for finding tumour suppressors and oncogenes in solid tumours, and also for classification of tumours. The fastest way of analysing large numbers of tumours is through the use of archival tissue samples with first, the huge advantage of larger median follow-up time of patients studied and second, the advantage of being able to locate and analyse multiple tumours, even across generations, from related individuals (families). Unfortunately, DNA from archival tissues is not always suitable for molecular analysis due to insufficient quality. Until now, this quality remained undefined. We report the optimisation of a genomic-DNA isolation procedure from FFPE pathology archives in combination with a subsequent multiplex PCR-based quality-control that simply identified all samples refractory to further DNA-based analyses.

Dr. Dolly's SELFSHAPES™ – Ellipse
Because you have chosen an Oval or Ellipsis, your dominant SELFSHAPE™ in Dr. Dolly's SELFSHAPE™ categorization system is likely an OVAL or ELLIPSIS, a slightly compressed circle, an eggor eye-like shape with strong perceptivity, empathy, and sensitivity. Life has sometimes crushed the natural spiritual/caring/compassion traits of a CIRCLE, and given birth to art, possibly even great art, whether visual, literary, theatrical, or musical. Or perhaps even scientific, medical, or mathematical. Ovals also make effective change agents, such as psychologists or occupational, physical, or speech therapists. The challenge is to let light outweigh darkness. An OVAL or ELLIPSIS may begin as a child who felt misunderstood, or was maybe even bullied or abused, yet rose to extraordinary achievement—which may or may not pay off financially. Passion and compassion tend to be more motivating than security or financial wealth. OVALS are most rewarded by self-fulfillment and helping others.


Dr. Watson
Dr. Watson is a Windows utility which runs in the background and keeps checking your computer for errors and problems. When Dr.Watson detects a problem or error with any application in your computer it immediately throws an alert and informs you that the program has encountered an error and will be shut down. You will also be given the option of sending the error to Microsoft. Though this can be really a pain at times, think about it – it's a whole lot better to restart one single application in your computer, than to restart the whole computer!
When Dr.Watson encounters a problem in your computer, it not only displays an error message/alert, but also creates a log of the error. The Dr.Watson log file can is located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\DrWatson and is called drwtsn32.log. You can find the latest error message if you scroll down to the very bottom of the file.
Generally, you don't have to be too concerned when you see one of these error message flash on your screen because it usually goes away when you restart your computer. But if you are getting repeated error messages about an application, then you will have to look into it more closely.


Omu Tou Recipe| Ghanaian Cuisine
Omu Tuo is a Ghanaian delicacy that is usually prepared with rice. But one thing that makes it unique from any other regular rice dish is its preparation process. Typically, the rice is prepared until it's soft and then pounded to form sticky balls. When pounded, you may mistake them for Ugali.
The dish goes well with soups like peanut stew, groundnut soup, or palm nut soup. Although Omu Tuo is common among the Hausa people, it has spread to other parts of Ghana and beyond.
Today, we will walk you through the recipe and all that you need to prepare yours. But before then, let us have an overview of Ghanaian culture.
Ghana Culture
Ghana is home to over 100 ethnic groups with the Akans, Ewes, Gas, and Moshi-Dagbanis being the largest tribes. Just like its ethnic groups, its culture is very diverse. Though some groups may share some cultural practices, each tribe has its practices, which sets them apart from others.
Maintaining honor, dignity, and a good reputation is crucial to the Ghanaians. The society maintains harmony regardless of their cultural and religious differences which makes their culture one.
Society treats people according to their age, position, wealth, and experience. Elderly people are accorded due respect and viewed as more wiser. Younger people go for advice from the elders and involve them in decision-making.
Dining Etiquette
Ghanaians are very welcoming and love sharing. During meals, dining etiquette is followed to the letter. When invited to a Ghanaian home, you are expected to leave your shoes outside. Getting yourself a seat or choosing where to sit is a sign of disrespect to the hosts. Always be patient and wait for the host to usher you in and show you where to sit.
Food is usually served in a communal bowl, and you are only allowed to begin eating from the front part. Before serving the meal, a basin of water is brought for everyone to wash their hands. After washing hands, you should wait until the male elders start enjoying their food.
In Ghana, you are not allowed to sit until you are shown where to sit Click To Tweet
Now, let's switch our focus to our Omu Tou recipe.
Serves: 2
Dish: side dish
Cuisine: Ghana
A cup of white long-rice
2 cups of water
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tbs butter
 1. Wash and rinse the rice to remove excess starch. The step is optional since the starch is required to improve the stickiness of the rice.
 2. Add water in a cooking pot and bring it to boil. Add butter and salt and cook it until the rice is soft. To achieve this, you need to lower the temperature of your heat-source to ensure the rice slowly boils until all the water is absorbed.
 3. Use a wooden spoon to pound the rice. Turn the rice to one side of the pot then to the other. Do this repeatedly until the rice is mushy.
 4. Serve by putting in a wet bowl and swirling until the bowl is formed.
 5. Serve with peanut soup stew or any soup of your choice
Note: To enjoy the meal, you need to ensure that the ratio of water, salt is perfect. You can also incorporate your favorite spices to enhance the taste.

Returning errors from Windows commands
by Jonathan Harston, August 2010
The OSCLI command can be used to execute a Windows command. However, if the command fails, no error is generated, the Windows command interpreter merely displays an error message. You may see this appearing in a DOS command box before it quickly disappears.
However, the Windows command interpreter and properly-written commands output error message to the standard-error output stream. This can be redirected to a file, and then any contents examined later. The following function does this.
 DEF FNwin_cmd(cli$)
 LOCAL ch%,err$,tmp$:tmp$=@tmp$+STR$TIME
 OSCLI "cmd /c "+cli$+" 2>"+tmp$
 ch%=OPENIN(tmp$):IF ch%=0:=""
 err$=GET$#ch%:CLOSE#ch%:OS."Delete "+tmp$
 =err$
This redirects the error output to a file, then reads that file to see if anything has been output to it. Bear in mind that if the called command displays its error reports to standard-out instead of standard-error, then it will return an empty string.
Examples
 >PRINT FNwin_cmd("junk")
 'junk' is not recognised as an internal or external command.
 >PRINT FNwin_cmd("dir")
 >
Note that, as opposed to OSCLI itself, the command is always passed to Windows. In the second example above, the Windows DIR command is executed, which will result in a directory listing appearing in a DOS command box before quickly diappearing.

Family Science Investigation - Algae to Ethanol
Alternative fuel sources are a popular area of discussion in the science and engineering communities. Never before has so much money and research been devoted to the development of alternative fuel sources. This class is designed to teach students about the benefits of alternative fuel sources, specifically the area of biofuels. The Algae to Ethanol class offered by the Natural World Investigate Lab will teach students everything they need to know about the processes of growing algae, harvesting it, and extracting ethanol. We will cover the development of algae ethanol from photosynthesis to alcoholic fermentation and give students hands-on experience using density measurement sticks, fractional distillation systems, spectrometers and pipettes.
Family Science Investigations programs offer families an opportunity to participate together in monthly science classes related to Museum research, including topics in ecology, paleontology, geology and biology. These classes are especially useful for homeschoolers looking for additional reinforcement to curriculum goals, or any family group that simply enjoys learning together!

Practical Tips To Clean Stains On The Walls Of A Minimalist Home
Not only is the condition of the floor, furniture, or yard that determines whether your house is clean or not, the condition of the walls must also receive attention. The reason is that even though your minimalist house is clean but the walls are full of stains, the house will still look dull and unattractive. A house with dirty walls also runs the risk of lowering the selling price — if one day you want to sell the house. So, to keep it looking clean and comfortable, start cleaning the walls of the house using home painting services; some stains can be cleaned easily, such as oil stains, food crumb stains, and mud stains. Cleaning usually can be done by wiping it with a tissue, sponge, or damp cloth. Meanwhile, for some types of stains that contain chemicals, such as pen or marker scribbles, oil paint is usually difficult to remove, unless you clean it as soon as the stain is exposed to the wall.
Food coloring stains, such as chocolate, sauce, or jam, can be removed simply by wiping the walls with a cloth or paper towel. Meanwhile, coconut milk food stains, gravy stains, and mud stains can be removed by wiping them with a cloth soaked in warm water to remove the oil or grease. One of the causes of dull walls is not necessarily food or soil stains, but rather dust left on. If the buildup is not impossible, it will make the walls damp and cause mold. So, at least clean the walls — especially the outer walls of the house — every two weeks with a broom or wipe them with an old cloth. Markers or pen stains should be cleaned with the help of baking soda or vinegar. The trick, add one tablespoon of baking soda or vinegar to half a small bucket of water. Then dip the sponge in the liquid and wash the sponge over the surface of the stained wall.
To clean a moss stain, it's best to open a window, as the scent of moss tends to be strong and makes it hard to breathe freely. Remove the moss stain with lemon juice. The trick, mix lemon with a glass of water then put it in a spray bottle. Spray onto the wall surface and then wipe with a cloth.

Analysis on Structural & Material Waterproof

Technical Analysis on Structural & Material Waterproofing of outdoor LED Lights
About material waterproofing
Material waterproof design of lamps, the use of filler filling glue to insulate waterproof, the use of sealant bonding between the closed structure between the seams, so that electrical components are completely airtight, to achieve the role of outdoor lamp waterproofing.
1) Fill the glue
With the development of waterproof material technology, various types and brands of lamp-specific potted glue constantly appear, for example, modified epoxy resin, modified polyurethane resin, modified silicone and so on. The chemical formula is different, the elasticity, molecular structure stability, adhesion, anti-uV, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, water repugnance, insulation performance and other physical and chemical performance indicators are different.
Elasticity: the collate is soft, the elastic module is small, then the adaptability is better. Among them, modified silicone elastic module is the smallest.
Molecular structure stability: Under the long-term action of UV, air and high and low temperature, the chemical structure of the material is stable, not aging and not cracking. Among them, modified silicone is the most stable.
Adhesion: strong adhesion is not easy to peel, of which modified epoxy resin adhesion is the strongest, but the chemical structure stability is poor, easy to aging cracking.
Water repugnant: indicates the collage's ability to resist water seepage. Among them, modified silicone silicone water repugnant is better.
Insulation: insulation related to product safety indicators, the above several materials of special filling glue are good materials of special potted glue are good.
From the above comprehensive physicolic performance, the performance of modified silicone materials is the best.
2) Seal the adhesive
Sealants are usually tying packaging, suitable for adhesive construction, generally used for wire ends, shell structural parts indirect seam bonding and sealing. Commonly used single-group dispenser, at room temperature and air vapor reaction, natural solidification.
Special attention: some lamp production plants use building neutral curtain wall glue, rather than professional electronic sealant, easy to break down harmful substances, damage lamps.
Certain types of potting gels and sealants in the gel process, will break down a small amount of chemical liquid or gas, such as the lamp beads next to the colloidal decomposition of the lamp beads damage to the lamp beads fluorescent powder, resulting in color temperature drift, or infringe led chip, or decomposition with transparent PC plastic chemical reaction, damage to the PC structure of the substance, and so on. This is a potential hazard in collate applications and must be designed with the colleant manufacturer fully understood of its chemical and physical properties and tested for verification.
Sealant in the lamp shell structure of the bonding seal, the most affected by heat expansion cold shrinkage, especially large lamps, different materials of the line expansion coefficient difference is large, hot expansion cold shrink constantly pulled, very easy to appear cracks. Therefore, the waterproofing ability of the material waterproof design mainly depends on the circuit board filling.
Material waterproof production process is long, 1 irrigation gel solidification cycle needs 24 h, some product design is more complex, even need 2 to 3 irrigation cycle, resulting in a longer shipping cycle, a large number of occupation of production sites, and the production environment is dirty. After colloidal solidification, the product repair is very troublesome.
The structural design of the material waterproof lamp does not need to be too precise, as long as the design reserves the collage potted area, the liquid does not leak, its waterproof performance is very intuitive. Therefore, the material waterproofing process is more suitable for small outdoor lamps, indoor moisture-proof lamps. It is commonly used in low-end and inexpensive public-mode products. Such as soft light belt, small bar lamps, buried lights and other small lamps.
In sum, whether the structure is waterproof or the material is waterproof, for outdoor lamps long-term work stability, low failure rate needs, a single waterproof design is difficult to achieve very high reliability, the potential hidden dangers of water seepage still exist.
Therefore, the design of high-end outdoor LED luminaires, it is recommended to use waterproof technology flexibly, the structural waterproofing and material waterproofing technology to combine the advantages of long-term and short,to ensure the long-term stability of LED circuit work. If the material waterproof design, can be added to the respirator to eliminate negative pressure. And the structure waterproof design, can also consider increasing potted, double waterproof protection, improve the stability of long-term use of outdoor lamps, reduce the rate of moisture failure.

Amatoya Moytoy of Chota (pronounced mah-tie) was a Cherokee town chief of the early eighteenth century in the area of present-day Tennessee. He held a prominent position among the Cherokee, and held the hereditary title Ama Matai (From the French matai and Cherokee ama--water), which meant "Water Conjurer."
His father was a European, Thomas Pasmere Carpenter, who was descended from the noble Anglo-Norman family of Vicomte Guillaume de Melun le Carpentier. Thus, Moytoy's European lineage can be traced to the Frankish Duke Ansegisel of Metz Meroving, Peppin II, and Charles Martel. This ancestry also makes the Cherokee Moytoys cousins to the Carpenter Earl of Tyrconnell, and thus related to the current British royal family.
The Carpenter family of Devonshire & Plymouth England were small sailing ship owners, many of which were leased out to the East India Trading Company, an affiliation dating to the formation of that company December 31, 1600. Documented ownership of fifteen different ships owned by the Carpenter family, those of which were involved with moving furs between the Gulf Ports & Glasgow, or Dublin, and trade goods for North America. These ships usually made stops both directions at Barbados where the family had banking connections set up. These ships were small and fast, often able to make the crossing from Scotland and Ireland in less than thirty days. They were shallow draft ships, capable of handling shallow water ports with ease. The first documented trip made by Thomas Pasmere Carpenter occurred April 1640, sailing from Maryland to Barbados aboard the Hopewell, and returning on the Crispian in September 1640. He made another trip in March 1659 departing Charleston South Carolina aboard the Barbados Merchant, returning on the Concord in August 1659.
Twenty year old Thomas Pasmere Carpenter came to Jamestown, Virginia from England in 1627, living in a cave near the Shawnee. Thomas was called "Cornplanter" by the Shawnee, derived from their sign language that matched as near as possible to the work of a carpenter. He married a Shawnee woman named "Pride" and bore a son around 1635 named Trader Carpenter.
Amatoya was taught by his father to "witch" for water with a willow stick. He had become so adept at water witching that the Cherokee called him "water conjurer" or Ama Matai (Ama is Cherokee for water). Ama Matai eventually became pronounced as Amatoya. It was later shortened to "Moytoy", so he is known as Moytoy I. He ruled the town of Chota sometime between the beginning of the eighteenth century and 1730.
In 1680, Amatoya married Quatsie of Tellico. Many of their descendants went on to become prominent leaders, founding a family that effectively ruled the Cherokee for a century.
Notable members include:
Moytoy I, Chief of Chota; born around 1640 and probably died in 1730; was leading chief at the time of his death
Moytoy II, Emperor of the Cherokees and Chief of Great Tellico; son of Moytoy I; born around 1687; leading chief from 1730 to 1760
Moytoy IV, Raven of Chota
Kanagatucko, Old Hop; leading chief from _PHONE_.
Attacullaculla, Prince of Chota-Tanasi; born around 1708, died around 1777; leading chief from 1761 to around 1775
Oconostota, Warrior of Chota and Beloved Man of the Cherokee; born ca. 1710 and died in 1783; was war chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1775 to 1780
Nancy Ward, Beloved Woman of the Cherokee and granddaughter of Moytoy I
Major Ridge, grandson of Oconostota and of Attacullaculla
General Stand Watie, great-grandson of Oconostota and of Attacullaculla

There are three different ways to steer packets into a HPB:
- ANIC adapter is configured to use its own internal algorithms to evenly and efficiently distribute or load balance packets across a specified number (from 1 to 64) of HPBs. This is done to ensure that no processing thread is overwhelmed with data while others are starved.
- Based upon the results of packet filtering, packets can be steered to specific HPBs. For example, packets that match a specific packet filter rule might all be steered to the same HPB for processing.
- Based upon flow classification, packets are steered to specific HPBs. In other words, specific flows are identified and explicitly steered to a specific HPB for processing.
Packet traffic is typically transferred across the PCIe bus (DMA) for consumption by the host application. However there may be circumstances under which select traffic must be locally redirected or retransmitted out of one of the ANIC network ports. Packet filtering or flow classification can be used to identify which specific packets or flows must be redirected out a given port.


Use of a Scribe
Use of a Scribe
May 23, 2019
We are hiring a scribe for the doctor because it will help improve his documentation. Is there anything we need to know about how to document this?
Yes, absolutely. This situation should be clearly delineated so a third party reviewer can identify the provider who performed the service, and the record should be signed by both parties (the scribe and physician).
Remember, a scribe does not ask the patient any questions, nor does a scribe do an examination of the patient. A scribe merely records the information obtained by a provider. Bottom line is that a nurse practitioner or physician assistant generally does not act as a scribe.
Example of statements:
I, (scribe name), am serving as a scribe to document services personally performed by (physician name), based on my observation and the provider's statements to me.
I, (physician name), attest that (scribe name) is acting in a scribe capacity, has observed my performance of the services, and has documented them in accordance with my direction.

End of attention
Construction expenditure is the actual cost of constructing the building or extension. A deduction is allowed for expenditure incurred in the construction of a building if you are an owner-builder or you contract a builder to construct the building on your land. This includes the component of your payments that represents the profit made by individual tradespeople, builders and architects.
Some costs that may be included in construction expenditure are:
- preliminary expenses such as architects' fees, engineering fees and the cost of foundation excavations
- payments to carpenters, bricklayers and other tradespeople for construction of the building
- payments for the construction of retaining walls, fences and in-ground swimming pools.
Some costs that are not included in construction expenditure are:
- the cost of the land on which the rental property is built
- expenditure on clearing the land prior to construction
- earthworks that are permanent, can be economically maintained and are not integral to the installation or construction of a structure
- expenditure on landscaping.
If you purchase your property from a speculative builder, the component of your payment that represents the builder's profit margin cannot be claimed as a capital works (special building write-off) deduction.
Some of this expenditure may form part of the cost base of the property for capital gains tax purposes. For more information, see the publication Guide to capital gains tax.

New Survey Gives the Numbers behind Laptop Thefts
Study points to low security for laptops, many stolen from within the company's facility
CREDANT Technologies, a data security and encryption software company, recently surveyed business professionals to get a little perspective on how secure laptops are. Perhaps not surprisingly, the numbers were somewhat dismal, pointing to unsecured devices and unsecured data. We'll let the numbers tell the story on this crime that plagues office facilities and business travelers:
29: percentage of all laptops stolen at the office
87: percentage of those laptops that had their emails on the computers
90: percentage of the stolen laptops that contained "sensitive and confidential" information
67: percentage that had other business information stored on their as well
3 out of 4: number of laptops that didn't meet regulatory compliance requirements for data encryption
21: percentage of respondents who used no security measures or data encryption on their laptops
10: percentage that used full-disk data encryption
The survey indicated that among the stolen laptops, some of these devices were locked to desks and secured with cables. One was even glued to the desk but still walked away.

The Dispute Avoidance and Resolution Service (DARS) came into effect on 1st September 2005 as a result of Special Educational Needs and Disability Order (SENDO).
The DARS aims;
to resolve disagreements between Education and Library Boards or Boards of Governors of schools and parents about the way in which they carry out their responsibilities towards children with Special Educational Needs (SEN);
to resolve disagreements between parents and schools about the provision being made for children with Special Educational Needs.
The DARS is an independent, confidential, voluntary and informal service designed to provide an opportunity for identifying points of disagreement and finding ways forward that all parties are willing to accept.
There is a DARS contact, in each Education and Library Board area, who is independent of its Special Education section. The DARS Manager is the main point of contact in the first instance.
Members of the DARS Team will facilitate a possible resolution of disagreements. Ultimately, agreement can only be reached with the approval of all parties involved.
Involvement with DARS will not affect the right of appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal (the SENDIST). The DARS cannot be used to resolve other disputes with a parent or school or Education and Library Board. If you believe that your child has been discriminated against because of a disability then the Equality Commission will provide a conciliation service to resolve this dispute.
