Ferrets must eat frequently due to their unusual anatomy, therefore, constant availability of food and water is important for ferrets, especially in warm weather. It is particularly essential for pregnant, old, or chronically ill pets, and for growing ferrets. Ferrets that fast more than six hours will become irritable and much more likely to bite.
Ferrets require a high-calorie, high-protein, low-fiber diet. These requirements may be met by commercial ferret diets or premium quality dry cat food. Dog food of any kind in inadequate for growth and good health in ferrets. Even the best quality premium dog food will not support ferret growth or reproduction, although pets have been maintained on dog food supplemented with dairy products or meat scraps.
Grocery store brands of dry cat food are commonly coated with animal fat, making them more palatable to ferrets, but feeding your ferret a steady diet of these cheaper brands can produce health hazards. Even though the product ingredients may be listed as 30 to 35% protein, if the main source of this protein is ground yellow corn, your ferret will not get the nutrition he needs to stay healthy. Premium brands available through veterinarians or pet shops also contain 30 to 35% protein, but the primary ingredient is usually poultry, red meat meal, or meat by-products which meet a ferrets nutritional needs.
Like cats, many ferrets, especially older ones, will refuse certain diets even when nothing else is offered. They may develop a taste for one specific flavor and may be extremely stubborn to the point of starvation when presented with a distinctly different diet. The more recently formulated pelleted ferret diets are well-balanced and palatable to most pets.
Ferrets require a higher caloric diet, and their main source of calories should be from fat. Premium cat foods contain 15 to 23% fat, which is better for ferrets than the grocery store brands. Adding fat to cheaper foods to increase the caloric concentration will give mature animals shinier coats temporarily. However, because ferrets eat to meet their caloric requirement, they eat less of the higher fat diet and soon become deficient of protein and other essential nutrients. The coat then becomes thin and bristly. Growing kits will be stunted or die, adults will be think, reproduction will fail, and some animals will develop diseases or ulcers.
Housed under natural light conditions, ferrets will eat more in the fall and will become noticeably fatter (adding as much as 40% or more to their weight). This is a normal, healthy response and is not a cause for concern. They will, in turn, reduce their intake in the spring and lose the excess weight.
Obesity is rarely a problem in ferrets unless they are fed large quantities of high fat snack foods daily (such as packaged, liver flavored cat treats) in addition to their regular diet. The best way to return obese pets to a more normal body weight is to reduce their snack food consumption.
Ferrets drink more from water dishes than water bottles. Because ferrets rest their feet on the bowl when they drink, a heavy crock is the ideal water container.

Event Detection / Handling in Smart Energy Environments
The goal of this PhD project is the formalization and the development of a generic event detection process applied to serve various smart energy environments such as Smart Buildings, Smart Grids, and Smart Cities for example. By automatically detecting the events that could arise in such environments, event handling mechanisms can be put into place. This could serve for improved conceptualization and management of these environments, both from an energetic and utility point of view.
The study is designed to develop a technological base that offers:
- A generic framework for event detection
- A platform enabling the integration of the event detection mechanism into different smart energy networks
- An intelligent processing that allows not only event detection but also provides event handling and a better overall understanding of these environments
- Data Mining
- Event Detection
The LIUPPA (laboratory) MOVIES team
LIUPPA is a computer science laboratory related to the "Université de PAU et des Pays de l'Adour" (UPPA), and interested in the formalization of digital ecosystems in multimedia sensory networks and microgrids.

Could Chavin's Labyrinth be the remains of the resounding Palace of Hades and Persephone? (Part 2) Archaeological, geographical, documentary and toponymic evidences
This article, excerpted from my book "Journey to the Mythological Inferno", discusses the archaeological evidence of a subterranean system of channels, interconnected to the labyrinth of chavin, built to produce powerful sounds by hydraulic energy. The echoing resonance in the high mountains is high mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony, which gave rise to the name "Resonant House of Hades and Persephone". The article identifies the earliest representations of the "Fifty-headed dog of Hades" - Cerberus - found (and misnamed "feathered feline") in ther excavations of the 21 m circular plaza, facing the oldest temple, where the great image of the Gorgon is found. The article relates the vicissitudes of the Raimondi Stele, identified as the only existing representation in the world of the mighty Titan Typhoeus, as described in Hesiod's Theogony. And, finally, it discusses who were the people associated with the construction of the main temple of Chavin.

Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel Background
What's a water tunnel?
According to Dr. Michael Billet, director of the Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel (GTWT), it is a "closed loop" of pipes of different diameters filled with water driven by a motor. The 100 feet of pipes that form the GTWT are arranged in a rectangle about 32 feet high. Within the pipes are approximately 100,000 gallons of water driven by a 2000 horsepower motor which can generate water velocities up to 60 feet per second. One 14 foot stretch of the loop, which has a diameter of 48 inches, is equipped with plexiglass panels and hatches through which researchers can place and then observe objects in the path of the high speed flow.
Who operates the GTWT?
Penn State's Applied Research Laboratory (ARL), a Navy-oriented research facility. Dr. L. Raymond Hettche is director of ARL and Dr. Michael Billet is director of the Water Tunnel Facility. The facility is the familiar building with tall windows on North Atherton Street.
What is the GTWT used for?
Research and instruction at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Navy originally built the GTWT between 1948 and 1949 to test propellors and torpedo shapes at the former Ordinance Research Laboratory which was renamed the Applied Research Laboratory in 1973. However, Penn state faculty members and graduate students have also used the facility for instructional purposes right from the start. Dr. Donald Ross, who was a graduate student while he served as one of the tunnel's original designers, wrote the first doctoral dissertation based on it. Today, in addition to Navy projects, tunnel-based research has been applied to artificial heart valves, vacuum cleaner fans, car heating and cooling systems, advanced propulsors for commercial ships, pumps for the Space Shuttle and other products. Graduate students still conduct theses there and undergraduates can participate in research there through the Computer Science and Engineering Honors Program, the Mathematics Honors Program, the Engineering Cooperative Program or as part-time employees.
Why is ASME honoring the Water Tunnel?
The Water Tunnel is the 116th National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark to be designated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). According to ASME, sites are selected as landmarks because they represent a progressive step in the evolution of mechanical engineering or a development of clear historical importance to mechanical engineers. Others include the cable cars of San Francisco, the Apollo Command Module and the Johnstown incline. The Penn State Heart-Assist Pump was named an ASME International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in 1990.
The ASME citation for the Water Tunnel reads as follows:
"The tunnel was built in cooperation with the U.S. Navy at 48 inches (1.2 meters) in diameter, it was the largest, high-speed tunnel then in existence. It was first used to evaluate the best hydrodynamic design of torpedo shapes and propellers, and later, submarine hulls and propulsion systems. These studies led to advanced research on basic flow problems in cavitation, turbulence, hydroacoustics, transition, hydrodynamic drag, and hydraulic and subsonic turbomachinery. The facility continues to be an invaluable tool for such research."
What are some of the "advances" made possible by the water tunnel?
Dr. Billet, Tunnel director, says that research with the Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel has produced significant contributions to fluid mechanics and acoustics that are recognized around the world. These contributions have been applied to naval and commercial vehicle propulsion systems; drag reduction in ships, planes and land vehicles; ship, submarine and airplane propellor designs; pump and fan designs as well as other applications ranging from the U.S. Space Shuttle, to vacuum cleaner fans, to heart valves.

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig Oraibh! – Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Please Share!
By Róislín
Do you recognize any of the words in the Irish phrase above? "Pádraig" [PAW-drig] perhaps, since that is the name "Patrick" in the Irish language.
Hmm, you might be wondering, what exactly is the Irish language? Don't people in Ireland speak English? Well, yes, they do, but some people also speak "Gaeilge, [GAYL-ig-yuh] " the native language of Ireland. Currently about 73,000 speak Irish every day in Ireland and all the schoolchildren learn the language. Some people outside Ireland also speak the language, especially in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Britain, countries where many Irish people have emigrated. Sometimes it is their descendants, three or four generations down the line, who learn the language.
The Irish language isn't structurally similar to English at all. Its closest linguistic neighbor is Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig), which is spoken in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and in Nova Scotia, Canada. The next closest language is Manx Gaelic, from the Isle of Man, which has also given us the famous tailless Manx cat.
So what does the language look like and sound like? Here are a few samples, which will also bring us back to our St. Patrick's Day greeting (Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig):
Irish English
Bó[boh] cow
Capall [KAH-pul] horse
Buachaill [BOO-uh-khil] boy
Cailín [like "Colleen"] girl, colleen
Croí [kree] heart
An tSeamair [un TCHAM-irzh] the shamrock
Béigeal uaine [BAY-gyul OO-in-yuh] a green bagel (!)
Beoir uaine [byohr OO-in-yuh] green beer
Féile [FAYL-yuh] a feast day [to honor a saint]
Beannachtaí [BAN-ukh-tee] greetings or blessings
Oraibh (OR-iv) on you (plural)
Getting back to "Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh," taken word by word, it means "greetings of the feast day of Patrick on you." In other words, "Happy St. Patrick's Day!"
You might have noticed the word "happy" is not actually in the phrase. Nor is the word "saint," which is "naomh" [neev] in Irish. This often happens when we translate from one language to another. Different words are used to express the same basic meaning.
You might like to learn the Irish word for "happy" though, so you can use it in the song "Lá Breithe Sona Duit." "Sona" means "happy." "Lá breithe" [law BRE-huh] means "day of birth" and "duit" means "to you" (singular).
So now you can say "Happy St. Patrick's Day" and "Happy Birthday" in Irish. All from one blog.

Archaeologists have discovered the wreck of a ship that was part of a fleet sent to invade Japan by the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan, more than 700 years ago.
The wooden ship was found off the southern island of Kyushu, a metre under the seabed.
The hull, which is almost complete, and the keel are the most intact remains of a Mongol wreck found in Japanese waters.
Archaeologists say it was part of an invasion fleet carrying 140,000 Mongol soldiers in 1281.
Researchers from the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa used ultrasonic equipment to detect the remains of the ship.
The wood on the hull was painted whitish grey and held together by nails. Bricks, weapons and other instruments were found on board.
The BBC reports the Japanese have always attributed their victory to storms that wrecked the Mongol fleets during two attempted invasions in 1274 and 1281.
They concluded that Japan was protected from invasion by a divine wind, (Kamikaze), which was invoked in World War II to inspire pilots to launch suicide attacks on allied ships.

1 Mijbil the Otter: Questions and Answers
Mijbil the Otter: Questions and Answers
Oral Comprehension Check (Page 106)
Question 1: What 'experiment' did Maxwell think Camusfearna would be suitable for?
Answer: Maxwell, the narrator, had gone to Southern Iraq in the year 1956. He took a fancy to the idea that instead of keeping a dog as a pet, he would go for an otter. Camusfearna was surrounded by water, so it would be an eminently suitable spot for this experiment.
Question 2: Why does he go to Basra? How long does he wait there, and why?
Answer: Maxwell went to Basra to collect and answer his mail from Europe. He had to wait there for five days as his mail had not arrived.
Question 3: How does he get the otter? Does he like it? Pick out the words that tell you this.
Answer: His friend bought the otter for him and sent it to the place where he was staying.
Maxwell liked it. This is seen in "The second night Mijbil came on to my bed in the small hours and remained asleep in the crook of my knees…….","I made a body-belt for him…".
Question 4: Why was the otter named 'Maxwell's otter'?
Answer: The otter was named by zoologists as Lutrogale Perspicillata Maxwelli. Hence, it was called Maxwell's otter in short.
Question 5: Tick the right answer. In the beginning, the otter was
i) aloof and indifferent
ii) friendly
iii) hostile
Answer: In the beginning, the otter was aloof and indifferent.
Question 6: What happened when Maxwell took Mijbil to the bathroom? What did it do two days after that?
Answer: When Maxwell first took Mijbil to the bathroom, the otter first went wild with joy in the water. He plunged and rolled in it. He jumped up and down the length of the bathtub. He made enough slosh and splash.
After two days, the otter suddenly disappeared and went to the bathroom to play in the water and opened the tap on his own.
Oral Comprehension Check (Page 108)
Question 1: What game had Mij invented?
Answer: Mij invented a game of playing with the ball in a unique way. One of Maxwell's suitcases was damaged and had a slope on the top part. Mij would put the ball on the high end and run to catch it as it slided to the lower end.
Question 2: What are 'compulsive habits? What does Maxwell say are the compulsive habits of i) school children ii) Mij?
Answer: Compulsive habits are usually strange act or behaviour which a person does without clear reason. For example, a cricket player may put on his right shoes first as he believed it would bring him good luck or a kid jumping over a fence, instead of going through the passage way. Usually, compulsive behaviour of children is of full of childhood mischief and those of adults are of incorrigible type.
i) As per this story, children must place their feet squarely on the centre of each paving block; must touch every seventh upright of the iron railings, or pass to the outside of every second lamp post.
ii) Mijbil while on its way to home would jump over the boundary wall railing and run at full speed throughout its length.
Question 3: What group of animals do otters belong to?
Answer: Otters belong to a comparatively small group of animals called Mustellines. The other animals of this group are badger, mongoose, weasel, stoat, mink etc.
Question 4: What guesses did the Londoners make about what Mij was?
Answer: As otters are not found in England, so Londoners made the wildest possible guesses about Mij. Their guesses ranged from a baby sea, a squirrel, a hippo to a brontosaurus.
Thinking about the Text (page 110, 111)
Question 1: How was Mijbil transported to England?
Answer: Mijbil was packed in a box as the airlines had directed Maxwell. As British airlines did not allow pets on board, Maxwell had to book a ticket on a different airline from Iraq to Paris and then from Paris to London.
Question 2: What did Mij do to the box?
Answer: The box was lined with a metal sheet. Mij didn't feel comfortable in the box and tried to escape. In his attempt to escape, Mij tore into the metal lining of the box and in the process hurt himself.
Question 3: Why did Maxwell put the otter back in the box? How do you think he felt when he did this?
Answer: As there was no other way to carry Mij to London, Maxwell put him in the box again. He must have felt pity on the way the otter hurt himself. Moreover, he must be worried as well.
Question 4: Why does Maxwell say the airhostess was "the very queen of her kind"?
Answer: The airhostess was very sympathetic after listening to Maxwell's story. She understood how he might be feeling and then gave him permission to take the otter out of the box. Due to all this, Maxwell referred her as "the very queen of her kind".
Question 5: What happened when the box was opened?
Answer: As soon as the box was opened, Mij ran out. Then it ran all over the place scaring all the passengers. It created a chaos and most of the people in the plane got scared.
Oral Comprehension Check (Page 110)
Question 1: What things does Mij do which tell you that he is an intelligent, friendly and fun-loving animal who needs love?
Answer: Mij invented his own game out of ping-pong ball and a worn-down suitcase. He loved water, and once he understood that on opening the tap water came out of it, he would get into the tub and play with water.
He gradually formed a special attachment with Maxwell. It grew desperate when Maxewll left him in a box and wanted to come out as soon as possible.
Question 2: What are some of the things we come to know about otters from this text?
Answer: Otters belong to a comparatively small group of animals called Mustellines, shared by badger, mongoose, weasel, stoat, mink and others. They are found in large numbers in marshes. Arabs keep them as pets and tame them. Otters love to spread water and splash in it. Maxwell's otter was of a race previously unknown to science and was at length named by zoologists as Lutrogale Perspicillata Maxwelli .
Question 3: Why is Mij's species now known to the world as Maxwell's otter?
Answer: Maxwell's otter was of a race previously unknown to science and was at length named by zoologists as Lutrogale Perspicillata Maxwelli, hence, it is known as Maxwell's otter in short.
Question 4: Maxwell in the story speaks for the otter, Mij. He tells us what the otter feels and thinks on different occasions. Given below are some tings the otter does. Complete the column on the right to say what Maxwell says about what Mij feels and thinks.
What Mij DoesHow Mij feels or Thinks

The road, which is visible on this spectacular 360-degree panorama, crosses a remote mountainous region in the province of Jämtland in Sweden on the planet Earth. This panorama is a mosaic of 3×8 frames shot on May 3 by a small drone from a height of 200 meters above the ground.
The picture captures the warm light of the setting sun in the north-west and the dark shadow of our planet rising in the southeast. A small solar column allows you to find the position of the Sun under the horizon, and a pinkish anti-dusk arch, or the belt of Venus, surrounds the shadow of the Earth. In a surprisingly clear sky above the mountains, the Moon is visible in the phase of the first quarter. Its half-lit disc is in the middle of the picture, dividing the sunset and the rising of the shadow.
In order to capture the sunset and the shadow of the Earth differing in brightness, exposures of different duration were made. The highest mountain to the left of the setting sun is Stornsnazen, 1400 meters high above sea level.

Asa Townsend (c.1775-alive 1851) was an early settler in Westminster Township near what became the City of London, Ontario. His lands ultimately became incorporated in London's Springbank Park. By the 1820s he removed westward to settle on the bank of the Ausable River in what later became Bosanquet Township in Lambton County. Here he operated a salt well. He and his wife—whose name is not known—are credited with being the first white settlers in the area of the present village of Arkona, Ontario. Asa was still living at the time of the 1851 Bosanquet Township assessment, living just east of Arkona, apparently next door to an Ezekiel Townsend who was possibly his son. The Townsends had been joined in 1833 by settler Henry Utter who settled what would become the south-eastern corner of Arkona.

Ever wonder what a weather balloon sees as it climbs through the sky? Check out the video above taken by Artistsent on the Hope & Ignition Youtube channel!
Launched in Roxbourough State Park and landing just south of Hugo, footage captured by a GoPro camera shows that balloon's journey as it climbs to a maximum altitude of 100,299 feet!
Artistsent, who recorded and shared the video, also built a custom 3D printed space X grid fins to stabilize the craft in flight.
Here is a map of the balloon's path as it traveled for 2.5 hours and around 100 miles to the southeast.
This path makes sense if you look at the winds up higher in the atmosphere!
As the balloon traveled vertically through the atmosphere, it was pushed east and southeast by upper level winds, including the jet stream. The fact that the jet stream winds were so light, roughly around 35 mph on that day, probably factors into why the balloon was able to climb so high into the stratosphere to an altitude of 100,299 feet.

It is explained on page 4 of the documentation.
Vm is the power supply pin for the chip and the steppers. It takes +7.2 to +16.5 vdc.
Vd is used for a clamping diode between pins 1 and 16.
Any time you turn power on then off with a coil in a circuit (the motors), you will get back voltage returned from the coil. This voltage can rise pretty high and spike components in that circuit if not dealt with.
If you look at figure 12 on page 9 you can see the voltage will be returned to the supply + side.


How does the Period Panty work?
Because the COCORO-INTIM company has developed a high quality product you may be curious to know more about it.
Three different types of materials are used to offer absorption and the other properties of COCORO-INTIM knickers.
1- First you have a layer of cotton that stays in contact with your sensitive and intimate skin keeping the soft touch, freshness and freedom. Few models are totally lined with cotton avoiding reactions for the most sensitive ones (who is allergic for other materials), including 2 models made of GOTS Certificate Organic Cotton.
2- The internal fabrics made of high-tech layers that do not touch your skin are responsible for all the magical. This technical material are based on polyester which is developed to be absorbent, water-repellent, antibacterial and breathable.
3- The outer layer is always a piece of design to make you feel comfortable and protected while staying beautiful in different models that are.

Rmxprt to Maxwell creation
Whenever I convert Generator (Rmxprt Design ) to Generator (Maxwell-2D) it shows give me the different result of power and torque calculation of permanent magnet synchronous generator. can anyone help how these results are different in Rmxprt and Maxwell-2D? and one more thing how the Moving torque calculated in Simulation.
Rajesh Sirvi
IIT Kanpur
 - nchodenchode Forum Coordinator
 RMxprt result depends on the load type selected during the solution setup.
 For example, if you selected a constant power operation and defined the rated output power and rated speed. Rmxprt will output the proportional torque that will satisfy this condition, provided if it is achievable as per your configuration.
 So, the power output will be the rated output power you defined in the solution setup and torque will be such that it satisfies the power and speed condition.
 Coming to maxwell, It will calculate the max power that can be developed at the specified motion setup(angular velocity). thus the torque and output power may be different.

a Pokemon can't learn two of it's two of it's egg moves. For example, Charmander can't learn AncientPower and Beat Up together, because no Pokemon learns these two moves, and there's no Pokemon that can connect these two moves together like Arbok did just now.
It's worth noting that all this chain breeding isn't needed in the Field egg group, where Smeargle is, simply because Smeargle can learn any move (through it's signature move Sketch). So that also means that there's no such thing as an illegal move combination in the Field egg group.
Hatching an Egg
Hatching an egg can take a really long time depending on the Pokemon that's inside. Actually, it doesn't depend on time, but the amount of steps you take. It could take between 1,000-10,000 steps to hatch an egg. If you have a Pokemon with the Magma Armor or Flame Body Abilities in your party, the amount of steps will be cut in half. You can ride your bicycle in a circle or up and down the same route until the egg hatches, or just take it with you on your adventure. Check the egg's status screen to get hints as to how long it'll take to hatch.

What are Breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs are the links that allow users to track and analyse the path from that page where they are presently looking to the homepage of a website. It appears at the top of the web page and reflects the navigation structure of a website.
They can also add context to the innermost of pages and reduce several negative factors that can improve the user experience of a website.
Type of Breadcrumbs
There are different types of breadcrumbs, the three most common ones are:
1. Breadcrumbs: Hierarchy Based
These are the most common type of Breadcrumbs. It tells the user where they are in a site structure and how many steps they take to return on the homepage. For example:
Home > Blog > Category > Post Name
2. Breadcrumbs: Attribute-Based
Attribute-based breadcrumbs are seen most commonly on e-commerce websites when a user has performed a search. Breadcrumb path is made up of product attributes. For example:
Home > Product category > Gender > Size > Color
3. Breadcrumbs: History-Based
History-based breadcrumbs are ordered according to what the user has been doing on a website. Think of these as an alternative to the internet history bar. For example:
Home > Previous page > Previous page> Current page
When To Use Breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs are used for large websites (like e-commerce) and websites that have hierarchically arranged 'n' number of pages. They should not be used for single-level websites where there is no logical hierarchy of pages or any grouping.
The best way to determine how much a website will benefit from the breadcrumb navigation is to construct a sitemap. It will be a diagram representing the navigation architecture of the website.
Analysing if the breadcrumbs will improve the navigation ability of the user between various categories on a website is also critical.
The breadcrumb navigation is an extra feature, and it should play no role in undermining the effectiveness of the primary navigation menus. It is only a convenience feature that allows users to find where they are and help them in easily navigating through the website, just like a secondary navigation scheme.
Features of Breadcrumbs
 - Breadcrumbs may be implemented to any page: Static (node/1) or Dynamic (node/%nid).
 - It is possible to load contexts from URL and use them as tokens for breadcrumb path or title
 - Import and export breadcrumbs (supports single operations, features and Ctools bulk export)
 - Breadcrumbs can be cloned to save time while building navigation
 - The module provides rich snippets support for breadcrumbs (RDFa and Microdata)
 - Breadcrumbs can be hidden if they contain only one element
 - Disabling and enabling of breadcrumbs is possible
 - All breadcrumb titles are translatable
 - Usable interface

The Certification Standard utilizes an algorithm of proprietary and recognized scientific techniques to assess Washing Machines for their ability to reduce allergenic and irritant materials during domestic laundering. Submitted Washing Machine models that pass certification testing are granted a certificate stating that the particular Washing Machine meets the requirements for the asthma & allergy friendly® ASP:06:01 Certification Standard.
The Washing Machine Certification Standard includes:
- Capability to reduce bio-allergen levels in test items below limit levels following washing: Demonstrable for more than one allergen.
- Capability to achieve a washing temperature equal to or greater than 55°C(131°F).
- The capability to kill house dust mites by washing is demonstrated by prevention of Dermatophagoides Group 1 antigen resurgence over a four week incubation period post washing in test items previously infested with live house dust mite.
- Certification applicable to manufacturer's warranty period for washing machine
- Washing capability achieved without exposure above designated limit levels of indoor ozone by-product, ionized particles or VOCs.
All certified asthma & allergy friendly® Washing Machines are associated with a unique certification code.

Short-term small groups are awesome.
They shouldn't be considered any less important than the longer term small groups that are typically talked about. Short-term small groups have their place in ministry and can accomplish things that are difficult for small groups that have a longer time committment.
Over the summer, I led a couple of short-term small groups. Even in the six weeks that each small group met, God used them to transform lives. The impact is observable today, weeks after the small groups completed.
There are several benefits short-term small groups can make happen.
Benefits of Short-Term Small Groups
The following are some of the benefits that a short-term small group Bible study can provide:
People More Likely to Commit
Many people do not want to make a long-term commitment if they do aren't certain it will benefit them. We know from experience how important it is to be a part of a small group. But there are many who do not have that experience. Having a short-term option encourages participation from those who are reluctant to make a longer-term commitment.
Enticing Outside the Church Family
Many short-term small groups are focused on a specific topic. Some of the topics have appeal to people outside the church. The topics of finances, overwhelm, and health are a few examples of this. Advertising to people outside the church could result in participation from unchurched, unsaved people who are far from God.
Can Lead to Participation in Long-Term Small Groups
Once a people experience small group, they are more willing to sign up and participate in a longer-term small group. You, as the leader, can encourage this. As you get closer to the end of the short-term small group:
- Make sure each member knows how to sign up for a small group
- Point out some of the benefits they are receiving in the current group and let them know those benefits can continue by signing up for a longer-term group
- Ask if they have any questions about small groups. I even went as far as to have a couple of small group leaders come to one of my meetings to do a question-and-answer session with my group members.
Supports Small Group Leader Training
Just like there are some people who are reluctant to make long-term commitments to a small group, there are potential leaders who may be reluctant as well. Short-term small groups are a great training ground for new small group leaders. The initial commitment is not long-term so those reluctant are more likely to give it a try. Also, if the short-term group is using a Bible study where the leader materials are already prepared and easy-to-use, the new leader is less likely to overwhelmed.
Question: What additional benefits do you believe short-term small groups can provide? You can leave a comment by clicking here.

RIDECORED: Excellence Network for saving water in irrigation based on the results of the Consolider-Rideco project
Freshwater is a vital resource of the planet. Even though humans need relatively small amounts of water for drinking, the requirements to produce their food are much higher, to the point that irrigated agriculture is the largest consumer of water on Earth. In areas such as Spain, future water scarcity threatens the sustainability of its horticultural industry and research is needed to save irrigation water.
This was the objective of a 6 -year research program funded under the CONSOLIDER-RIDECO grant that ended at the end of 2012. Experiments and models were used by five groups, representing more than half of the scientific production in Spain on irrigation, to advance the knowledge on how to reduce irrigation water use and to enhance water productivity in tree crops and vines. The external international reviewers of the program stated that the RIDECO team represented the strongest research effort on deficit irrigation in the world.
The project needed additional efforts to increase its impact on the irrigation community; thus the objective is to further increase the impact of RIDECO by effective networking with a variety of stakeholders and potential users of the results. RIDECORED is a network of excellence which will aim at:
- Disseminate RIDECO results to users in the public and private sectors.
- Ensure the collaboration among RIDECO partners by completing the analyses of long-term experiments and by producing specific, useful recommendations to achieve greater impact.
- Propose joint activities and grant proposals for national and international calls (H2020 and others).
- Open the current team to the participation of other research groups to create a hub of irrigation research activities.
RIDECORED will last two years and, in addition to increase the impact of RIDECO, it will also contribute to maintain the prominent position of Spanish irrigation research.

Any idea how to get details of how many records were deleted when
using RUNSQL in batch in a CLP? That would be nice.
As noted in a prior discussion, write a program [even a very dynamic REXX would do] to get the SQLERRD(3) of the SQLCA to identify the number of rows deleted, instead of using such a generic SQL utility.
What I usually do is DSPFD before and after the RUNSQL.
If knowing what the upcoming DELETE statement would delete is considered to be sufficiently accurate, then by using the CREATE VIEW method, the CLP can have a DCLF to read the VIEW to learn the answer. And to review just the count of rows to be deleted instead of the actual rows to be deleted, that is easily done by creating another VIEW over the first. For example:
DCLF DLT_COUNT /* create table qtemp/dlt_count (dlt_count dec(10) not null ; or whatever required to get rcdfmt lvlid to match the VIEW */
RUNSQL SQL('create view qtemp/dlt_from as ( select * from t18pf where joentt = ''CA'' and jojob = ''QZLSFILET'' and jopgm = ''QLESPI'' )' ) COMMIT(*NONE)
RUNSQL SQL('create view qtemp/dlt_count as ( select dec(count(*), 10) as dlt_count from qtemp/dlt_from)')
RCVF /* CL var &DLT_COUNT will now have the value of the number of rows matching the WHERE clause of the upcoming DELETE; i.e. the where-clause encapsulated in the SELECT of the first CREATE VIEW */
RUNSQL SQL('delete from qtemp/dlt_from') COMMIT(*NONE)
RCVF /* force the DLT_COUNT file to close */
MONMSG CPF0864 EXEC(rcvmsg (*same (*)) *pgmq *excp *none 0 rmv(*yes))
RUNSQL SQL('drop view qtemp/dlt_from cascade)')

Secure communications is essential in many areas such as disaster management and battlefield communications. To detect and prevent attacks in such applications, most existing protocols adopt a cryptography-based approach, trust-based approach (reputation of nodes), or incentive-based approach. However, such protocols still have drawbacks, such as expensive overhead, difficulty in maintaining secure key and session management, or leaving routes unsecured against Byzantine attacks. In this paper, we introduce a monitoring-based method in the link state routing protocol to secure the packets' route against Byzantine attacks. The goal of our proposed scheme is to guarantee communication among connected benign nodes in the network. Specifically, each node monitors the action of neighboring nodes and compares the optimal packet route against the packet route history. Nodes in the network create a packet history field which is used to record all activities of an intermediate node when receiving and forwarding packets. Our scheme provides mutual monitoring in which nodes in the network can validate the packet history field of other nodes and report malicious activities. Also, our scheme uses a statistical method to know if a node is dropping packets intentionally by analyzing the packet dropping behavior of each node. The proposed scheme provides protection against colluding attacks and other Byzantine attacks. The proposed monitoring-based method achieves an average of 89% to 96% packet delivery ratio when 11% to 21% active malicious links are excluded from the network.

Extreme reading among the zoo animals
Thursday 23 October 2008
Two schoolgirl bookworms found some novel places to browse, by taking their homework to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo for some 'extreme reading'.
Jessica Ackers and Francesca Cross, both 10, let their imagination run riot when their school asked pupils to think of 'unusual, funny or surprising' locations for reading a book, to celebrate Children's Book Week.
The pair, from Oakwood Primary School in St Albans, wrote to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo and initially asked to read while sitting on an elephant or giraffe. 'If our thoughts are too dangerous to carry out we would love it if you could suggest something else for us to do', they asked.
Whipsnade were happy to oblige with the latter option and keepers allowed the girls to test their nerve by reading among the lively lemurs on lemur island, while being watched over by our female giraffe Savannah and sitting in the elephant paddock.
The girls found the experience amazing and had to use all their concentration skills to keep their eyes on the books and not the animals.
Jessica said: 'We found the giraffe quite easy as she was eating the leaves but the lemurs were hard!'
'There were so many of them and they were all around you with their paws on the books!' added Francesca. Both girls love reading and enjoy fiction books. Francesca had just read an appropriate book called 'White Giraffe' by Lauren St John.

All About Flash Mobs
Whether you've been a part of one or just enjoyed the viral vids that followed, flash mobs are a huge part of modern culture, combining spontaneity, fun, and strangers. Find out more in All About Flash Mobs!
What is a "Flash Mob"?
Flash mobs bring groups of people together who may or may not know each other in order to create a spontaneous scene in a public place, which is a (usually) delightful surprise for passers-by and undeniably fun for the participants! They usually start and end at a specific time, so they are short and unexpected, and can include people singing, dancing, pillow fighting – you name it! Flash mobs first started as a form of performance art in New York City, they usually are all about the visual effect, surprising an audience, and stay away from political demonstration and advertisement (although some companies have managed to use flash mobs to make commercials and pull off publicity stunts.)
Inventor of flash mobs Bill Wasik said:
"the mobs started as a kind of playful social experiment meant to encourage spontaneity and big gatherings to temporarily take over commercial and public areas simply to show that they could."
How is Organized?
Often flash mobs are organized online via different types of social media (Facebook events, Twitter, blogs or email), meaning you might not know any of the other people who show up! Word of mouth has to be discreet though, because while flash mobs are fun, it's more fun if it's a total surprise – no one wants the news cameras, cell phones and even police to outnumber the actual participants.
Flash Mob Fun Facts!
- In the 19th century in Tasmania the term "flash mob" was used to describe groups of female prisoners, this is no relation to how it's used now.
- The word "flash mob" was included in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2004
- In Philadelphia some flash mobs were later dubbed "flash robs" because people had used them to steal and riot.
- When a company or political act is behind the event, it's usually called a "smart mob" instead, since it isn't just for the joy of doing something wacky.
- The first flash mob took place in Manhattan, and in order to avoid police detection Bill Wasik had people meet at different bars and then go on to the mob at Macy's department store.

Creating Bootstrapper Packages
Creating Bootstrapper Packages
Updated: August 2011
The Setup program is a generic installer that can be configured to detect and install redistributable components such as Windows Installer (.msi) files and executable programs. The installer is also known as a bootstrapper. It is programmed through a set of XML manifests that specify the metadata to manage the installation of the component.
You can use the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator to create the manifests that describe the bootstrapper package. Alternatively, you can generate the manifests by using the XML Editor in Visual Studio. For more information, see How to: Create a Package Manifest and How to: Create a Product Manifest. To see an example of creating a bootstrapper package, see Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Bootstrapper to Show a Privacy Prompt.
To create a bootstrapper package, you have to supply the redistributable in the form of an EXE or MSI the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator. Then, the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator creates the following files:
 - The product manifest, product.xml, which contains any language-neutral metadata for the package. This contains metadata common to all the localized versions of the redistributable component.
 - The package manifest, package.xml, which contains language-specific metadata; it typically contains localized error messages. A component must have at least one package manifest for each localized version of that component.
After these files are created, put the product manifest file into a folder named for the custom bootstrapper. The package manifest file goes into a folder named for the locale. For example, if the package manifest file is for English redistribution, put the file into a folder called en. Repeat this process for each locale, such as ja for Japanese and de for German. The final custom bootstrapper package could have the following folder structure.
Finally, copy the redistributable files into the bootstrapper folder location. For more information, see How to: Create a Localized Bootstrapper Package.
On 64 bit systems, use the following registry key:
Each redistributable component appears in its own subfolder under the packages directory. The product manifest and redistributable files are put into this subfolder. Localized versions of the component and package manifests are put in subfolders named according to Culture Name. For more information about culture names, see the table in Localization Property.
After these files are copied into the bootstrapper folder, the bootstrapper package automatically appears in the Visual Studio prerequisites dialog box. If your custom bootstrapper package does not appear, close and then reopen the Prerequisites Dialog Box. For more information, see Prerequisites Dialog Box.
The following table shows the properties that are automatically populated by the bootstrapper.
The name of the application.
The processor and bits-per-word of the platform targeted by an executable. Values include the following:
 - Intel
 - IA64
 - AMD64
The version number for Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME operating systems. The syntax of the version is Major.Minor.ServicePack.
The version number for the Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7 operating systems. The syntax of the version is Major.Minor.ServicePack.
The version of the Windows Installer assembly (msi.dll) run during the installation.
This property is set if the user has administrator privileges. Values are true or false.
The installation mode indicates where the component needs to be installed from. Values include the following:
 - HomeSite - prerequisites are installed from the vendor's Web site.
 - SpecificSite - prerequisites are installed from the location that you select.
 - SameSite - prerequisites are installed from the same location as the application.
You can prevent your redistributable files from being deployed in Setup projects. To do this, create a redistributable list in the RedistList folder in your.NET Framework directory:
The redistributable list is an XML file that you should name using the following format: Company Name.Component Name.RedistList.xml. So, for example, if the component is called Datawidgets made by Acme, use Acme.DataWidgets.RedistList.xml. An example of the redistributable list's contents might resemble this:

Exploring Apple's Open-Source: ResearchKit and CareKit
When people hear Apple and open-source in one sentence, the first thought that comes to their mind is: Swift. Then, some think: Darwin or WebKit, or coremltools. I guess only few would think of ResearchKit or CareKit. Do these names even ring a bell? Ever wondered what they are? If you're keen on exploring the open-source world of Apple, let's take a look at these two frameworks.
Apple unveiled ResearchKit during its March event in 2015 and announced it as open-source in April. One year later, CareKit came to light. They are both BSD-licensed frameworks dedicated to developers and researchers who create software focused on medical care. Both of them are implemented in Objective C, and can be seamlessly integrated with HealthKit. While they cannot be considered highly specialized, rocket-science frameworks, they surely offer some convenient tools and solutions that could speed up and add some UI sugar to your quick, research projects.
ResearchKit — a nod to amateur researchers all over the world
ResearchKit offers a platform that literally transforms an iPhone into a tool for medical research. Researchers can use it to create apps that frequently gather data from volunteers wishing to participate in medical studies on whatever subject — for instance breast cancer, asthma, or diabetes. This framework enables the medical community to distribute actual health research through ResearchKit-enabled apps.
This is a tool tailored by Apple, which means that it's an over-simplified, yet easy and painless solution. ResearchKit comes with several out-of-the-box modules that address the most common elements found in research studies, i.e. participant consent, surveys and active tasks.
Obtaining the participant consent is a starting point of every research. ResearchKit provides an e-consent template that covers creating the consent document
ORKConsentDocument, presenting a visual, animated sequence to help the user understand it
ORKVisualConsentStep as well as reviewing the consent
ORKConsentReviewStep. All the above steps are contained inside a task
ORKTask, which is an object presentable by the specially designed
ORKTaskViewController. Obtaining a participant's signature crowns the whole process (note: ResearchKit does not include digital signature support). It's as simple as that! And looks well with zero design effort:
Surveys are another example of
ORKTask composed of a series of steps, each one handling a specific question or instruction. The appearance of every step can be customized by implementing task view controller delegate methods. It might feel quite restrictive, but again, the biggest advantage of this framework is its ease of use.
Active tasks are partially controlled tests inviting users to perform activities and giving them a step-by-step instruction, while iPhone sensors are used to collect data. For example, an active task might ask the user to walk a short distance with their phone in their pocket, while the accelerometer and gyroscope data is being collected on the device to analyze gait and balance. Initial ResearchKit modules include Active Tasks to measure motor activities, fitness, cognition and voice. The research community is encouraged to contribute custom active tasks to the framework.
ResearchKit comes with one more super handy feature, which is charts. Now, this is definitely not a very comprehensive tool for tweaking complex data representation. However, if all you care about is fast graphing of some simple data, here you go: implement a couple of data source protocol methods, add a few lines of appearance adjustment and you get a neat, readable chart in the blink of an eye.
What is more, there is a whole lot of boilerplate work covered by ResearchKit related to registration and validation of users. The framework offers a module with ready to use structures that cover login and passcode verification, granting required access and permissions etc.
It's important to note that currently ResearchKit does not define any specific data format for how the structured data is serialized (however, all the framework objects conform to the
NSSecureCoding protocol). Also, it is always up to the developer to comply with applicable law for each territory in which the app is made available.
Monitoring medical conditions with CareKit
CareKit enables users to monitor ongoing medical conditions, track medicine intake, treatment tasks and exercise, and share this data with the caregivers, family or friends. It also provides a seamless integration with HealthKit. The idea of this tool is to empower users to take an active role in their care, whether it be post-surgical recovery or meditation. CareKit-based apps are able to introduce the user's entire treatment plan in an interactive way, providing a sense of progress.
CareKit contents can be divided into two groups of modules: the user interface part and the data management part. UI modules include the following:
- Care Card, which tracks user's individual care plan and manages tasks that they need to perform as a part of the treatment, such as taking medicine or doing physical exercise.
- Symptom and Measurement Tracker, which evaluates the effectiveness of a treatment plan by recording symptoms, temperature or blood pressure measurements etc.
- Insights Dashboard, which combines the data from the first two modules so that a user can see the relationship between its treatment and progress.
- Connect, helping the user to communicate their health status to doctors and family members.
Two data management modules include:
- Care Plan Store, which is a database that stores the information displayed by the Care Card and Progress Card modules; it also triggers the UI updates automatically.
- Document Exporter, which enables easy sharing of data displayed by the Insights module, such as graphs and other information.
The Care Plan Store consists of activities and events. Activities have their schedule and can be one of many types, e.g. taking a medication can show as Intervention. Events are created automatically by the Care Plan Store based on the given schedule. The Care Plan Store will stop generating events once an activity reaches its previously specified deadline.
Document Exporter allows to take the data from the Care Plan Store in order to create a rich PDF. The
OCKDocumentElement protocol supports creating a document with headers and footers, texts and paragraphs, images, charts and tables. A document created this way is a user friendly summary of their progress, comprising all the data that can be seen in the Insights Dashboard module, e.g. a weekly data of the pain scores or trends and gaps in their care. Creating a document is really straightforward: all it takes is collecting an array of elements that are to be included, initialize the
OCKDocument object and give it a title. Then use the
createPDFData method, which in its completion block returns the
NSData object that you can write to file or URL and share — voila!
Of course there is a somewhat troubling matter: the security of health data, which may be exceptionally sensitive. Agreeing to share personal data is a worry in itself. Apple addressed this issue in its Best Practices document, where it highly recommends to:
- use the highest possible level of file protection, so that the files stored by your app are encrypted when the device is locked — this usually means
- use an end-to-end protection (e.g. a CMS envelope) whenever transmitting data via network.
This is a glimpse of what CareKit and ResearchKit can offer both to the user and to the developer. Is it possible to integrate them both within one project? Absolutely yes — CareKit and ResearchKit teams actually invite you to do so. How about contributing to the codebase? You are more than welcome to share your ideas and solutions built upon these open-source frameworks.
PositiveTech for the win again! No wonder that giants like Apple appreciate its value. And so do we! Check out our work section for the ultimate proof;) If you have an agenda or a project outline asking to come to life—we're your guys! Let's make it happen.

Thinking about good practice at Enterprising Communities
"The purpose of this guidance is to help trustees comply with their legal trustee duties when overseeing their charity's fundraising. It sets out 6 principles to help them achieve this.
It focuses primarily on matters within the Commission's regulatory remit. It is not a guide to the wide range of laws and regulations that apply to specific types and aspects of fundraising, but it provides links to sources of information about these rules".
Source: Fundraising for Trustees CC20 The Charity Commission.
Trustee fundraising guidance cover image and link
Trustee fundraising guidance – full details (pdf)
We detail the key principles of Trustee responsibility here
 1. Planning effectively
 This is about you and your co-trustees agreeing or setting, and then monitoring, your charity's overall approach to fundraising. Your fundraising plan should also take account of risks, your charity's values and its relationship with donors and the wider public, as well as its income needs and expectations.
2. Supervising your fundraisers
This is about you and your co-trustees having systems in place to oversee the fundraising which others carry out for your charity, so that you can be satisfied that it is, and remains, in your charity's best interests. It means delegating responsibly so that your charity's in-house and volunteer fundraisers, and any connected companies, know what is expected of them. If you employ a commercial partner to raise funds for your charity, the arrangement must be in the charity's best interests and comply with any specific legal rules and standards that apply.
3. Protecting your charity's reputation, money and other assets
This means ensuring that there is strong management of your charity's assets and resources so that you can meet your legal trustee duty to act in your charity's best interests and protect it from undue risk. It includes ensuring that there is adequate consideration of the impact of your charity's fundraising on its donors, supporters and the public, making sure that your charity receives all the money to which it is entitled, and taking steps to reduce risk of loss or fraud.
4. Identifying and ensuring compliance with the laws or regulations that apply specifically to your charity's fundraising
The legal rules that apply to various types of fundraising can be detailed and complex. They cover compliance in important areas such as with data protection law, licensing, and working with commercial partners. There are new rules in the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 which affect some charities that fundraise. You should make sure that your charity has access to sufficient information and appropriate advice to ensure that its fundraising complies with all relevant legal rules.
5. Identifying and following any recognised standards that apply to your charity's fundraising
These are in the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice. The Code outlines both the legal rules that apply to fundraising and the standards designed to ensure that fundraising is open, honest and respectful. The Commission expects all charities that fundraise to fully comply with the Code.
6. Being open and accountable
This includes complying with any relevant statutory accounting and reporting requirements on fundraising and using reporting to demonstrate that your charity is well run and effective. In your fundraising communications it is about being able to effectively explain your fundraising work to members of the public and your charity's donors and supporters.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part entry into the process and pains of the creation of JPL's map of Isla Sorna. Eventually these entries will be merged into one article and made part of the Encyclopedia.
Jurassic Park Legacy's map of Isla Sorna (aka Site B) has been a many-years long endeavor. Numerous maps of Isla Sorna exist, both in-film props and real world publicity items. One would therefore think that it would be a simple thing to create a map corresponding to the films' events.
However, none of the maps work together, and topography varies from one map to another. It seems the production team for the films did not have any sort of concrete map or topography from which they were working from.
This leaves JPL's Map Team with a dilemma. Which of these many maps should be used as the de facto topography for our map? Should we rule out every other map or attempt to merge all the maps together? Should one map be considered more likely to be "accurate" than all the others?
After a lot of deliberation it was agreed that the map seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park during Kelly's wandering of the trailers (below) was the most accurate for our purposes. The topography is clear, the map is given a central focus in the film (even if only for a few seconds), and within the film universe itself it appears to be a detailed map of the variety you would find pinned in a government building.
So our topography was established; now we had to determine the size of the island. This was done fairly easily. Costa Rica appears on this map as well, and sizing it appropriately allowed us to determine the size of Sorna. The result; approximately 21 x 20 miles.
The island was now complete. We created a large topographical map of the entire Las Cinco Muertes island chain and created a map scale from there (at our scale; 116 pixels per mile). Work on actual locations could now finally begin.
Continued in Part 2…

A Sharing Circle provides a unique group discussion process in which guests share their experiences and insights in response to topics assigned by moderators. A Sharing Circle is loosely structured while assuring cooperation and effective communication. It originated in both traditional aboriginal and native american cultures and is also referred to as a talking or healing circle.
Symbolically speaking, a circle aligns motions and keeps the energy flowing, while representing wholeness, completion, communication and cycles of life. Traditionally, Sharing Circles brought together people who are committed to helping one another with healing. The circle would be initiated by a chief of the tribe with participants responding to his words. Smudging would often be used to begin the ceremony. As a basic rule, speakers are not interrupted while sharing their knowledge and perceptions. Instead, a talking stick is passed around, giving the keeper of the stick permission to talk uninterruptedly.
Specter chose this unconventional format for her dialogues to provide a dynamic, open and body-friendly experience, while bridging knowledge from different disciplines. The Circle allows us to break away from a strictly intellectual exchange, and to create a positive environment in which people can share their experiences freely. Guest speakers are invited to introduce themselves briefly to the circle, and to add to the conversation with any personal or professional experience.

The "Little Ice Age": Northern Hemisphere Average Observations and Model Calculations
Science 21 Dec 1979:
Vol. 206, Issue 4425, pp. _PHONE_
DOI: 10.1126/science._PHONE_.1402
Abstract
Numerical energy balance climate model calculations of the average surface temperature of the Northern Hemisphere for the past 400 years are compared with a new reconstruction of the past climate. Forcing with volcanic dust produces the best simulation, whereas expressing the solar constant as a function of the envelope of the sunspot number gives very poor results.

This accomplished gourd shaped rattle is actually made from a hardwood. There is a plug on the side which is where the inside has been hollowed out and filled with small hard objects (seeds?) to make it a rattle. As gourds were widely used by all classes as vessels, implements and utilatarian onjects the fact that the shape of a gourd was skillfully copied in wood suggests it was a prestige item used by a wealthy and important person.

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!

Adding data to the table
You can add a table component to the dashboard by creating an intance of the TableComponent class in your dashboard code.
$table = new TableComponent ();
$table->setCaption ("Regional Sales");
$table->setDimensions(4, 4);
// Configure the table
$this->addComponent($table);
Add data to the table
For adding the data, there are two steps:
 1. Add one or more column definitions to the table.
 2. Add rows of data to the table.
Adding columns
To add columns to the table, you can use the addColumn function. The first parameter to the addColumn function is a unique string key for the column.
$table->addColumn ('storeName', "Store Name");
$table->addColumn ('salesAmount', "Sales");
Adding rows
Let's say a table has 3 columns like this:
$table = new TableComponent ("table1");
$table->addColumn ('zone', "Store Zone Name");
$table->addColumn ('name', "Store Name");
$table->addColumn ('sale', "Sales amount");
You can add a row by passing a JavaScript object like this:
$table->addRow (array("zone" => "North", "name" => "Northern Stores", "saleAmount" => 5000));
Add multiple rows at once
$data = array(
 array("zoneName" => "North", "name" => "Northern Stores", "sale" => 4000),
 array("zoneName" => "South", "name" => "Southern Stores", "sale" => 4500)
);
$table->addMultipleRows ($data);
<?php
class SampleDashboard extends StandaloneDashboard { public function buildDashboard () { $table = new TableComponent('table1'); $table->setCaption("Regional Sales"); $table->setDimensions (4, 4); $table->setRowsPerPage (8); $table->addColumn('zone', "Zone"); $table->addColumn('name', "Store Name"); $table->addColumn('sale', "Sales Amount");
 $data = array(
 array("zone" => "North", "name" => "Northern Stores", "sale" => 4000),
 array("zone" => "South", "name" => "Southern Stores", "sale" => 4500)
 );
 $table->addMultipleRows($data);
 $this->addComponent ($table);
}
}
$db = new SampleDashboard(); $db->renderStandalone();

The Book of Escomb
Things you find in Church
The Escombe Textile
Links for Escombe Saxon Church
How did you hear about Escombe Saxon Church
A font is a basin for the Holy water used in a baptism (christening), a ceremony of sprinkling water on a person's (baby's) forehead or of totally immersing the person in water. Baptism symbolises purification or regeneration and admission into the Christian church.
The octagonal font at Escombe is at least 800 years old but could be much older. It has been carved out of a single piece of sandstone and may have been part of a Roman fountain. In late Saxon times it was the custom for babies to be totally immersed in the Holy water in the font but earlier than this, adult baptism was the usual ceremony. This could be by total immersion in a place such as the nearby river or by standing in the font, which would have been on the floor in those days.
The water in the font, which was changed once a year, was blessed at the service on Easter Sunday to be used throughout the rest of the year.
In the 13th century, the Archbishop of York ordered that fonts should be locked. This was to prevent people stealing the baptismal water and using it for superstitious practices e.g. to counteract the effects of a neighbour's curse or a witch's spell. The problem was what to do with the unused Holy water the following Easter. It could not be thrown away as a witch hiding in the churchyard might catch it to use for spells. It had to stay in Holy ground.
The nave is the main part of the church building where people sit for services.
The chancel is the part of the church containing the altar and seats for the clergy (priests, vicars, ministers) and choir. It is separated from the nave by steps or a screen.
|The sanctuary is the most sacred part of the church and is where the altar is.
Because Escombe Saxon Church was built to a very simple plan, the sanctuary and chancel are the same place, separated from the nave by a step and the chancel arch. The arch is thought to have been re-assembled from a Roman arch, brought with the rest of the stone from Binchester. The original arch was probably much lower, having all the upright stones horizontal. This wouldn't look right in such a tall building, so the Saxons put alternate stones on end to make it higher. It is a typical Anglo-Saxon arrangement, the first of its type and has been named 'Escombe Fashion' after this arch and is still called so by architects today.
|The table in the sanctuary in a Christian church at which the bread and wine are consecrated in communion services.|
These are the consecrated elements (bread and wine) of the Eucharist. They are used in the service of Holy Communion, commemorating the Last Supper (before Jesus was arrested) in which bread and wine are consecrated (made sacred) and consumed. The bread and wine represent the body and blood of Christ.
The lectern is a reading stand with a sloping top. It is tall enough for people to stand to read lessons from the Bible or to preach a sermon (a talk given by the priest or minister during the service.)
A sign signifying the Christian religion.
The stone cross behind the altar is probably older than the church and may have formed part of a preaching cross or grave cover. It is a 'green cross' or 'living cross' with rose-like flowers growing from it.
There is a 'consecration cross' cut into the stonework behind the lectern. We must remember that the stone for Escombe Church came from a Roman fort so when the church was finished, it needed to be consecrated (made sacred as a holy building.) There were originally 5 consecration crosses, the one behind the lectern and one on each corner of the church outside. Now only one of the outside crosses can still be seen.

Summary: In our study, we undertake a relative efficiency analysis of hospitals providing inpatient care, which play a key role in the Hungarian health care system. According to the Competitiveness Report 2020 of the Hungarian National Bank, the Hungarian health care system has a number of reserves, and the sustainability of the system can be improved by using these reserves. In the 2015-2019 period, particular attention has been paid to the identification of achievable and meaningful indicators in the sector under review. The relative effectiveness analysis (DEA) method can be used to address this challenge. The units of our analysis are state-owned institutions in Hungary, typologised by the total number of beds. General profile hospitals with a bed count between 600 and 1200 beds were included in the analysis. The results of running the programme have clearly shown that there are some institutions that do not operate as efficiently as the majority of the organisations included in the study, but further research and refinement of the indicators is needed to determine the practical application of the pilot studies.

Israel's housing market is the second most expensive in the world, according to a new study.
The study, which was conducted by Australia's CompareTheMarket, found that in comparison to average disposable household income, South Korea has the most expensive housing market of the 39 countries assessed in the study, with each square meter (10.8 square feet) of housing space costing the equivalent of 39.6% of a single year's-worth of the disposable income of the average South Korean household.
Israel was rated as the second least affordable country for housing, with each square meter (10.8 square feet) of housing space costing the equivalent of 26.6% of the average Israeli household's annual disposable income.
Switzerland came in a close third, with each square meter of housing consuming 26.5% of the average household's annual disposable income.
Luxembourg and Japan rounded out the top five, followed by France, New Zealand, the UK, the Czech Republic, and Sweden.
Turkey had the most affordable housing market, with each square meter of housing costing just 4.2% of the average household's annual disposable income.
The US had the second most affordable housing market, with each square meter of housing costing 5.5% of the average household's annual disposable income.
Russia came in third on the affordability scale, followed by Mexico and South Africa.
The ratings do not reflect the absolute prices of housing, but instead highlight the cost of housing adjusted for income and the cost of living.
Without taking the level of disposable income into account, Israel is still one of the costliest countries to purchase a home, coming in at number five, behind Switzerland, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Japan.
The average price per square meter of housing in Israel is $6,650, or $618 per square foot.
The US, by comparison, ranked as the 15th most inexpensive place to purchase a home – when disposable income levels were not taken into account – with the average cost of housing coming in at $2,504 per square meter, or $233 per square foot.
The UK ranked as the 13th least affordable country, with an average housing price of $4,691 per square meter, or $436 per square foot.

The intention of this article is to show how CloudVision Portal can be used to deploy L3 EVPN instances on one switch, or many switches, using a CloudVision Portal configlet builder.
A complete demonstration of how CloudVision Portal is used to deploy an EVPN instance and EVPN fabric can be found here
The configlet builder example provided on the GitHub Arista repo covers L3 EVPN deployments using physical interfaces as SVI as CE facing interface. The configlet builder example can be used on top of any EVPN underlay and overlay. Below is a step by step procedure which describes how to import and use the configlet builder in CloudVision Portal.
1. Download the configlet builder example at Arista GutHub repo: L3 EVPN configlet builder
2. Import the configlet builder in CloudVision Portal through going to "configlets" and use the import option
3. In order to use the configlet builder: goto a container that has EVPN underlay and overlay configured leaf switches. Or select a single switch that has an EVPN underlay and overlay configured.
4. Use the "Manage Configlet" option for the container or device
5. Fill out the information for the particular provisioning needed to be done
6. Click "Generate" and perform needed validations and save in the "Network Provisioning" view so that tasks are created
7. Execute tasks or use "Change Ctrl" to execute tasks with snapshots and rollback options
The EVPN instance is now deployed.


What Data Type Is Yes No in SQL?
//
Larry Thompson
What Data Type Is Yes No in SQL?
In SQL, the data type for representing a Yes/No value is typically called a bit data type. The bit data type is used to store boolean values, where 1 represents true (Yes) and 0 represents false (No).
It is commonly used to represent binary or Boolean values in a database table.
Bit Data Type
The bit data type in SQL can be considered as the smallest unit of storage in terms of memory consumption. It typically requires only 1 byte of storage space, and its value can either be 0 or 1.
This small size makes it highly efficient for storing boolean values with minimal storage requirements.
To define a column with the bit data type in SQL, you can use the following syntax:
column_name BIT
For example, if you have a table called "Employees" and want to add a column to represent whether an employee is active or not, you can use the bit data type:
CREATE TABLE Employees (
 EmployeeID int,
 Name varchar(50),
 IsActive bit
);
Using Bit Data Type in SQL Queries
When working with the bit data type in SQL queries, you can use it within conditional statements such as WHERE clauses or in conjunction with logical operators.
Here's an example of a SELECT statement using the bit data type:
SELECT EmployeeID, Name
FROM Employees
WHERE IsActive = 1;
In this example, we are selecting the EmployeeID and Name columns from the Employees table where the IsActive column is set to 1 (true/Yes). This query will return all active employees.
Conclusion
In SQL, the bit data type is commonly used to represent Yes/No or boolean values. It is a compact and efficient way to store binary information, requiring only 1 byte of storage space.
By understanding how to define columns with the bit data type and how to use it in SQL queries, you can effectively handle boolean values in your database tables.

DAX Studio – What do all those numbers mean in the server timing output?
When you run a query in DAX Studio with the Server Timings feature switched on you will see output like the following.
image
A number of the metrics that are gathered by the server timings have been abbreviated and if you may not be aware of what they all mean. The topic of performance tuning DAX queries can get quite involved. This post is just designed to give a brief overview and bit of background about how the different metrics are calculated.
Metric Description
Total This is the total query duration in milliseconds – taken from the Query End profiler event. This is the total time the server took to process the query. (so it will exclude any time the client took to process the result set)
SE CPU This is the amount of CPU time that was spend on Storage Engine queries (note that this figure *may* not be 100% reliable, so don't place a high amount of importance on it) the blue ratio under SE CPU is the factor of SE CPU over SE and is a very rough indicator of the average parallel operations that the SE was running. This figure is calculated by adding up the CPU duration from the Storage Engine events
FE This is the amount of time spent in the Formula Engine, calculated by Subtracting the SE duration from the Total. The blue figure underneath is the percentage of FE / Total
SE This is the amount of time spend in the Storage Engine, calculated by adding up the duration of all the Storage Engine queries. The blue figure underneath is the percentage of SE / Total. As a rough rule of thumb you want to try to get your queries to spend more time in the Storage Engine as it is multi-threaded so can do more operations in parallel. While the Formula Engine is single threaded and cannot make use of multiple CPU cores. Note that you cannot have a query that is 100% handled in the storage engine as the FE sits over the top of the SE. The FE is what issues the requests to the SE and it also serializes the result set before it is sent back to the client
SE Queries this is the number of Storage Engine queries that were performed during the processing of the query
SE Cache this is the number of Storage Engine cache hits
You may also wonder what that "SQL like" query is that captured by the scan event. This is called xmSQL and is textual representation of the requests that the Formula Engine sent to the Storage Engine. As far as I am aware there is no way of executing these queries, they are merely a textual representation of the requests sent to the Storage Engine to enable people to understand what operations the storage engine was performing.

Mount Tape Event Class
The Mount Tape event class occurs when a tape mount request is received. Use this event class to monitor tape mount requests and their success or failure.
Data column name
Name of the client application that created the connection to an instance of SQL Server. This column is populated with the values passed by the application.
ID assigned by the host computer to the process where the client application is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the client process ID.
ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE database statement has been issued for a specified instance. SQL Server displays the name of the database if the ServerName data column is captured in the trace and the server is available. Determine the value for a database by using the DB_ID function.
Name of the database in which the user statement is running.
Amount of time (in microseconds) taken by the event.
For Mount Request events, the time of the mount time-out if a time-out occurs; otherwise, the time of the event itself (in such cases, StartTime indicates the time of the corresponding mount request).
Type of event = 195.
The sequence of a specified event within the request.
Type of event subclass.
1 = Tape mount request
2 = Tape mount complete
3 = Tape mount canceled
ID of the workload group where the SQL Trace event fires.
Name of the computer on which the client is running. This data column is populated if the client provides the host name. To determine the host name, use the HOST_NAME function.
Indicates whether the event occurred on a system process or a user process. 1 = system, 0 = user.
Name of the login of the user (either SQL Server security login or the Microsoft Windows login credentials in the form of DOMAIN\username).
Windows domain to which the user belongs.
Windows user name.
Name of the instance of SQL Server being traced.
Login name of the user who originated the session. For example, if you connect to SQL Server using Login1 and execute a statement as Login2, SessionLoginName shows Login1 and LoginName shows Login2. This column displays both SQL Server and Windows logins.
ID of the Session on which the event occurred.
Time at which the event started, if available.
physical device name [ ( logical device name ) ]. The logical device name displays only if it is defined in the sys.backup_devices catalog view.
