Do you feed corals?
 - I sure that you have to feed them, but is it like with any specific? Like special foods, or ways you add it to the water or give it to them directly?
 Or do they just make due with the lighting in the water and the waste that the fish produce (like how plants work in a freshwater tank)?
 - Best Answer
 It really depends on your lighting and the corals you have. A vast majority do fine without any extra feeding, although some do better when fed if they aren't getting enough nutrients from the light or waste that is being created in your tank. Some even do good as they are normally indirectly fed by fish who swim between them and get trapped.
 As a basic answer, is it required? No - but feeding them CAN provide them with more nutrients which will allow for them to grow and be more vibrant under a light.

Composite component with multiple input fields
Introduction
Composite components are a nice JSF2/Facelets feature. As stated in this stackoverflow.com answer, you can use it to create a reuseable component with a single responsibility based on existing JSF components and/or HTML.
Use Composite Components if you want to create a single and reuseable custom UIComponent with a single responsibility using pure XML. Such a composite component usually consists of a bunch of existing components and/or HTML and get physically rendered as single component. E.g. a component which shows a rating in stars based on a given integer value. An example can be found in our Composite Component wiki page.
The wiki page contains however only an example of a composite component with a pure output function (showing a rating in stars). Creating a composite component based on a bunch of closely related UIInput components is a little tougher, but it's not demonstrated in the wiki page. So, let's write a blog about it.

Bind java.util.Date value to 3 day/month/year dropdowns
Although the calendar popup is becoming more popular these days, a not uncommon requirement is to have a date selection by three dropdown lists representing the day, month and year. In JSF terms, you'd thus need three <h:selectOneMenu> components and a little bit of ajax or even plain vanilla JavaScript in order to get the days right depending on the selected month and year. Not every month has the same amount of days and a particular month has even a different amount of days depending on the year.
Let's start with some XHTML first:
<ui:component
 xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:f="_URL_
 xmlns:h="_URL_
 xmlns:ui="_URL_
 xmlns:cc="_URL_
>
 <cc:interface componentType="inputDate">
 <cc:attribute name="value" type="java.util.Date"
 shortDescription="The selected Date. Defaults to today." />
 <cc:attribute name="maxyear" type="java.lang.Integer"
 shortDescription="The maximum year. Defaults to current year." />
 <cc:attribute name="minyear" type="java.lang.Integer"
 shortDescription="The minimum year. Defaults to maxyear minus 100." />
 </cc:interface>
 <cc:implementation>
 <span id="#{cc.clientId}" style="white-space:nowrap">
 <h:selectOneMenu id="day" binding="#{cc.day}" converter="javax.faces.Integer">
 <f:selectItems value="#{cc.days}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:selectOneMenu id="month" binding="#{cc.month}" converter="javax.faces.Integer">
 <f:selectItems value="#{cc.months}" />
 <f:ajax execute="day month" listener="#{cc.updateDaysIfNecessary}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:selectOneMenu id="year" binding="#{cc.year}" converter="javax.faces.Integer">
 <f:selectItems value="#{cc.years}" />
 <f:ajax execute="day year" listener="#{cc.updateDaysIfNecessary}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </span>
 </cc:implementation>
</ui:component>
Save it as /resources/components/inputDate.xhtml.
The componentType attribute of the <cc:interface> tag is perhaps new to you. It basically allows you to bind the composite component to a so-called backing component. This must be an instance of UIComponent and implement at least the NamingContainer interface (as required by the JSF composite component specification). Given that we basically want to create an input component, we'd like to extend from UIInput. The component type inputDate represents the component type and should be exactly the same value as is been declared in the value of the @FacesComponent annotation. The concrete backing component instance is available by the implicit EL variable #{cc} inside the <cc:implementation>.
The three <h:selectOneMenu> components are all via binding attribute bound as UIInput properties of the backing component which allows easy access to the submitted values and the (local) values. The <f:selectItems> also obtains all available values from the backing component. The <f:ajax> listener is also declared in the backing component. The enduser has only to provide a java.util.Date property as composite component value. The backing component does all the heavy lifting job.
Oh, there's also a <span> with the client ID of the composite component. This allows easy referencing in ajax updates from outside as follows:
<my:inputDate id="foo" ... />
...
<f:ajax ... render="foo" />
The composite component is by its own client ID available in the JSF component tree and thus accessible for ajax updates, but this client ID is by default nowhere represented by a HTML element and thus JavaScript wouldn't be able to find it in the HTML DOM (via document.getElementById() and so on) in order to update the HTML representation. So you need to supply your own HTML representation. This is in detail explained in the following stackoverflow.com questions:

When is an owlet not an owlet but really an owl? When it's an Asian barred owlet (or other species of owlets, of course). Learn more about this small but fierce owl!
Asian Barred Owlet Fun Facts
- The Asian barred owlet (Taenioglaux cuculoides) is one of 14 owl species with the official "owlet" name, all of which are part of the Strigidae family. The word owlet is also used to refer to baby owls of any owl species.
- Within their large range, these birds have several different common names, including barred owlet, cuckoo owl, and cuckoo owlet. Because these names are so general, however, it is best to refer to the bird's scientific name when identifying it so there is no confusion about which species is which.
- While small at just 9-10 inches long, these owls are still fierce hunters and prey on insects, lizards, amphibians, small mammals, and even small birds. They may even catch small birds or bats in flight.
- There are 5-8 subspecies of Asian barred owlet that vary in overall range and subtle plumage color differences. As studies continue about these birds, it is possible the subspecies may be split into different distinct owlet species.
- Unlike many owls, the Asian barred owlet is most active hunting during the day, when its preferred insect prey is also more active and easily captured. This owl is also often heard as part of the dawn chorus.
- When agitated, this owlet will slowly sway or wag its tail from side to side, creating a threatening display intended to ward off intruders. This behavior is quite distinctive and can help identify the bird.
- The Asian barred owlet was featured on a 2014 collectible postage stamp in Mozambique. The stamp was issued for 175 meticals (the local currency of Mozambique), which was roughly equivalent to $5.80 USD (at the time of the stamp's issue).
Adding the Asian Barred Owlet to Your Life List
Most owls can be challenging to add to your life list, and while the Asian barred owlet is considered relatively common in its range from China and southeast Asia into the Himalayan Mountains in northeastern Pakistan, they can still be difficult to find. In some cases, they may be found in gardens and parks, and contacting a local birding group or experienced guide can be a good way to locate an easier-to-see Asian barred owlet. These birds are more common at higher elevations with extensive pine forests and evergreen jungles, but owling trips should be carefully planned for safety. It is helpful that this owl is largely diurnal and hunts during the day, making it somewhat easier to see than more nocturnal owls.

Discrimination of bio-crystallogram images using neural networks
MetadataShow full item record
This study utilized a unique neural network model for texture image analysis to differentiate the crystallograms from pairs of fresh red pepper fruits from conventional and organic farms. The differences in visually analyzed samples are defined as the distribution of crystals on the circular glass underlay, the thin or thick structure of crystal needles, the angles between branches and side needles, etc. However, the visual description and definition of bio-crystallogram images has major disadvantages. A novel methodology called an image neural network (INN) has been developed to overcome these shortcomings. The 1,488 × 2,240 pixel bio-crystallogram images were acquired in a lab and cropped to 425 × 1,025 pixel images. These depicted either a conventional sweet red pepper or an organic sweet red pepper. A set of 19 images was utilized to train the image neural network. A new set of 4 images was then prepared to test the INN performance. Overall, the INN achieved an average recognition performance of 100 %. This high level of recognition suggests that the INN is a promising method for the discrimination of bio-crystallogram images. In addition, Hinton diagrams were utilized to display the optimality of the INN weights.

Abstract: We study the asset pricing implications of a general equilibrium Lucas endowment economy inhabited by two agents with habit formation preferences. Preferences are modeled either as internal or external habits. We allow for agents' heterogeneity in relative risk aversion and habit strength. We explicitly compute aggregate prices, such as equity premium, equity volatility, Sharpe ratio, interest rate volatility, and asset holdings for both types of preferences. Equilibrium quantities are computed using a recently developed algorithm of Dumas and Lyasoff (2011), which is refined to capture time nonseparability induced by habit. We obtain that internal habits provide for a considerable improvement in obtaining aggregate asset pricing quantities consistent with historically observed magnitudes as opposed to ''catching up with Joneses" preferences.

text: For different applied magnetic fields, the intersubband transitions of double Si delta-doped GaAs structures is theoretically investigated for a uniform donor distribution. The electronic structure has been calculated by solving the Schrodinger and Poisson equations self-consistently. It is found that the intersubband optical absorption and mobility are sensitive to the applied magnetic field: for all allowed intersubband transitions the intersubband absorption spectra show blueshifts. The results open the possibility to design devices for use as optical filters controlled by an applied magnetic field, depending on the delta-doped structure. It is hoped that these results will provide important improvement in device applications, for a suitable choice of magnetic field. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.


What Is Focusing Effect?
- Sep 17, 2018-
Focusing effect: The auditory characteristics of the human ear can be focused from a number of sounds to a certain point. For example, when we listen to the symphony, we concentrate our energy and listening on the sound of the violin. The music played by other instruments will be suppressed by the cerebral cortex, making you feel the pure violin performance. This kind of inhibition ability varies from person to person, and people who often exercise listening exercise have strong inhibition ability. We call this auditory characteristic of the human ear a "focus effect." Doing more exercise in this area can improve the ability of the human ear to distinguish the tone, quality, resolution and level of a certain spectrum.

M Squared Reveals Quantum Computing Breakthrough
14th Nov 2022
Glasgow-based M Squared has revealed a prototype of the UK's first commercial neutral atom quantum computer.
Demonstrated earlier this month at the National Quantum Technologies Showcase, the Maxwell system represents a key UK milestone in progressing commercially-viable quantum hardware.
Quantum computers have the potential to completely supersede current binary systems, performing calculations much faster by processing using qubits – the basic unit of quantum information. The combination of qubits and their superposition properties means they can process information much faster than the logic gates used on today's semiconductors and microchips.
Maxwell's capabilities make it ideal for tackling the complex optimisation problems that quantum computing is set to address. Its core neutral atom system architecture was developed by M Squared in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, which is developing neutral atom system hardware and related algorithm advances.
It was built through the combined capabilities in advanced laser systems and quantum system integration of M Squared, with the Rydberg atom and quantum algorithm expertise at Strathclyde.
The platform is underpinned by industrial-grade photonics equipment, which uses powerful lasers to cool atoms so they can be precisely controlled, maximising qubit scalability and fidelity.
Dr Graeme Malcolm, founder and chief executive of M Squared, said:
"Quantum computation is not simply a faster implementation of conventional computing, but a fundamentally new and more powerful way of processing information – one that will enable myriad of new applications.
"The collaborative efforts to realise the potential of quantum computing illustrate Britain's unique strength in bringing together industry and academia – building on advancements at the frontier of science, out of the laboratory to create real-world applications for the betterment of society."

River-powered pumps soon to irrigate Negros Oriental lands
by Rachelle M. Nessia
Dumaguete City (5 February) -- Following its success in irrigating remote mountainside villages in Negros Occidental, the ram pump irrigation unit is now being replicated by the provincial government here for installation in irrigable lands in Negros Oriental.
Governor Emilio C. Macias II has tasked the Provincial Integrated Skills and Training Center (PISTC) here to replicate the cost-efficient and sustainable ram pumps pioneered in Negros Occidental which does not use electricity, battery nor gasoline.
The river-powered ram pumps which are submerged underwater, harnesses the power of running water to vertically push water up to 20 meters high at practically no cost.
The deeper the pump is submerged, the higher it can bring water, said Capitol Information Officer Adrian Sedillo.
Earlier, the Governor has ordered the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) here to check on the province's existing irrigation systems. "According to NIA's report, P72 million is needed just to rehabilitate the existing irrigation systems in the province," said Sedillo.
This prompted the Governor to order the development of the said ram pumps here, of which 10 units will be produced for the first batch.
"We have already identified existing irrigable lands where the ram pumps will be installed. These lands are water-dependent but lack irrigation systems," said Sedillo.
The pumps will be launched in the province under the MACIAS program, or the Mini Attainable Communal Irrigation Agricultural System, which Sedillo said will strengthen the province's food security program. (PIA/rmn) [top]

Mistletoe Matters - Talks, Walks & Workshops
Mistletoe is a fascinating subject - an odd-looking plant with an unusual biology, peculiar and popular(!) winter customs, ancient traditions stretching way back into prehistory, and emerging modern usage in medicine. Plus, of course, all the agricultural and horticultural aspects, and linkages to traditional orchards and gardens.
And not forgetting its important role in wildlife conservation and biodiversity. There's also its peculiar role in 20th century imagery, particularly in the art nouveau period. It even inspired some wartime German aircraft concepts.
So it should be no surprise that it is a very popular subject for talks, with a very wide range of audiences.
Mistletoe walks are also popular, largely with outdoor and wildlife groups, and largely (though not wholly) confined to the mistletoe country around Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
Workshops, combining talks and walks with practical advice in management and planting are also available.

Ptolemaida (Greek: Πτολεμαΐδα, Ptolemaïda, Katharevousa: Πτολεμαΐς, Ptolemaïs) is a town and a former municipality in Kozani regional unit, West Macedonia, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Eordaia, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.[2] It is known for its coal (lignite) mines and its power stations.
During the Ottoman period, the city was named Kaylar, rendered into English as Kailar;[3] this name was retained in Greek as Kailaria (Καϊλάρια) until 1927. Kailar refers to the Kayı tribe, the tribe of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. The modern name Ptolemaida was introduced by decree on January 20, 1927, honoring Ptolemy son of Lagus, a comrade-in-arms of Alexander the Great, and his daughter Ptolemaïs.[4] His statue stands in the central square of the city.
According to archaeologists, the Ptolemaida region has been occupied since 6000 BC.[5]
Neolithic times[edit]
Prehistoric jewelry found in Ptolemaida
Archaeologists, in November 2005, discovered the remains of two farming villages dating back to the Neolithic period. A press report notes that such farming villages were trading centres and had a "developed knowledge of metalworking".[5]
A golden necklace dating to roughly 4500 BC was discovered on February 16, 2006.[5] Associated Press reporter Costas Kantouris describes the item as a "flat, roughly ring-shaped [which] probably had religious significance and would have been worn on a necklace by a prominent member of society."[5]
Lately in the lake Zazari near Ptolemaida there were found 16 houses that belong in the Neolithic era due to archaaeologists. These houses were in the lake and were exposed because of the decreased water level of the lake. That particular small settlement gives information about the society and the people in the Neolithic era.
Ancient period[edit]
Ancient Greek ceramic plate from Ptolemaida
Ancient Macedonian grave in Ptolemaida
In the area of Ptolemaida many archeological findings have occurred in the last 30 years due to mining operations. Ceramic artifacts, dating to the 6th century BC have been found at two sites near Grevena and Ptolemaida. Archaeologists found the artifacts at two prehistoric farming settlements. Two Ancient Macedonian graves have also been found in the area of Ptolemaida, dated from the 5th century BC.
Byzantine Period[edit]
At various times, Ptolemaida was part of the Latin Empire, the Kingdom of Thessalonica, the Empire of Nicaea, and the Despotate of Epirus.[citation needed] The borders among the Latin Empire, the Empire of Nicaea, the Empire of Trebizond, and the Despotate of Epirus are very uncertain.
Ottoman period[edit]
During the Ottoman period, Ptolemaida was called Kayılar, and it had two parts: Aşağı Kayılar and Yukarı Kayılar. Aşağı Kayılar was Bektaşi[citation needed] and Yukarı Kayılar was Rufai,[citation needed] Hanefi.[citation needed]
Before 1360, large numbers of nomad shepherds, or Yörüks, from the district of Konya, in Asia Minor, had settled in Macedonia; their descendants were known as Konariotes.[citation needed] Further immigration from this region took place from time to time up to the middle of the 18th century. After the establishment of the feudal system in 1397, many of the Seljuk noble families came over from Asia Minor; their descendants may be recognized among the Beys or Muslim landowners in Kayılar.[citation needed] At the beginning of the 18th century, the Turkish population was quite considerable, but since that time it has continuously decreased. A low birth rate, the exhaustion of the male population by military service, and a large mortality from epidemics have brought about a decline which has lately been hastened by emigration. The Turkish rural population around Kayılar was mainly composed of Konariot shepherds.[citation needed] In the late 19th and early 20th century, Ptolemaida was part of the Manastir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. Ptolemaida was taken by Greek forces on October 15, 1912.
The municipal library
Ptolemaida's football club is called "Eordaikos" (Greek: Εορδαϊκός). Other teams include AE Ptolemaidas. Ptolemaida has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, churches, banks, a post office, a train station (Kozani - Florina), a police station, a water tower, and squares (plateies). There is the potential of a university being established by the state in the near future. The Anthropological and Folklore Museum is based in the town.
Lignite mine of Ptolemaida
Ptolemaida is a highly industrialized area. The four power plants in this area produce 70% of Greece's electrical power, using the large local deposits of lignite as fuel. The plants are owned by the Public Power Corporation (DEI), the major employer in the city. The plant was dedicated by the prime minister of Greece at that time, Constantine Karamanlis. The other two are in Amyntaio in Florina regional unit and in Agios Dimitrios.
Askio mountain near the city
The city, situated in the middle of the Eordaia plain of Western Macedonia, has a humid continental climate. Summers can be hot with thunderstorms in unsettled spells, whereas winters are among the coldest in Greece. It was here that the absolute low temperature record of Greece was recorded (−27.8 °C (−18 °F) on 27 January 1963).
The current Municipality of Ptolemaida is constituted by the city of Ptolemaida and 12 small communities which all together cover an extent of 2.179 square kilometres (0.841 sq mi). At the 2001 census, the population of the city was 30,017 residents. The total population of the municipality in 2011 was 45,450 residents.

The city lies in the valley of Eordaia, between the Askio mountains to the southwest and the Vermio mountains to the northeast. It is located north of Kozani, east of Kastoria, south of Florina, and south-west of Edessa. Since the 1960s, GR-3/E65 has bypassed it to the east. It is the seat of the province of Eordia.

In this study, the ideal alloying element (among Cr, V, and Mo carbides) to enhance the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in a tempered martensitic steel was investigated. Four types of steels were designed to contain cementites, Cr-rich M7C3 carbides, V carbides, and Mo carbides, respectively. These steels were tailored to possess a comparable tensile strength (~1.6 GPa). The HE resistances of these steels were evaluated through the slow strain rate test and cyclic corrosion test. The results showed an enhanced HE resistance, characterized by a high notch fracture strength after hydrogen charging, in the samples containing V carbides and Mo carbides. In particular, Mo carbide was regarded as the most ideal alloying element for HE resistance because of the high resistivity parameter, inhibited hydrogen penetration, and suppressed strength loss by internal hydrogen.

This article explores cultural perceptions of Palestine and Palestinians in the Englishspeaking world, through two analyses of large linguistic datasets. The first analysis seeks to uncover current conceptions of participants in the Israel-Palestine conflict, by identifying words that are distinctively associated with those participants in modern English usage. The second analysis asks what historical-cultural changes led to these current conceptions. A general theme that emerges from these analyses is that a cultural shift appears to have occurred recently in the English-speaking world, marked by greater awareness of Palestinian perspectives on the conflict. Possible causes for such a cultural shift are also explored.
Terry Regier is a professor of linguistics and cognitive science at the University of California, Berkeley. The ideas in this article were first presented in December 2013 at the Disputed Words: Palestine, Language and Political Discourse conference, organized by the Institute for Palestine Studies and the American University of Beirut. The author wishes to thank the organizers, participants, and audience of that workshop for their helpful feedback.

Finance in Transition: Principles for a Positive Finance Future
Finance in Transition discusses the transition from traditional finance to transition finance.The current pattern of unsustainable economic development is supported by the global financial system, whose goal function is to create ever more financial value. Traditional finance is based on the concept of shareholder value. This paper develops new principles for a sustainable financial system. These guiding principles are: 1) from shareholder to integrated value, which combines financial, social and environmental value; 2) stewardship based on a direct link between financiers and companies; and 3) capital allocation based on long-term societal value.

On the 16 and 17 November 2017, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) organised an event on "Social Innovation for refugee inclusion", including one session on the integration of refugees in small and rural communities. The speakers highlighted how non-traditional actors have initiated innovative ways to foster the inclusion of newcomers in these depopulated areas. They also discussed how the inclusion of refugees in rural and remote areas could help these areas to fight against depopulation and boost growth in rural areas. Bringing one or two families to a small mountain village, for instance, could help maintain some services of general interest, such as a public school, a post office, etc.
Euromontana participated to the workshop and presented the SIMRA Project (Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas) that collects examples of social innovation. An example of social innovation in a marginalised rural area linked to refugee inclusion is the "Orti didattici di comunità" project. The project was created in Castelnuovo Bocca d'Adda, a commune of 1600 inhabitants in the Province of Lodi in the Italian region Lombardy, where an old abandoned house has been transformed into a small reception center for 12 asylum seekers and the surrounding area has become a social garden where children and locals, including refugees, can work the land.
At the end of the workshop, the conclusions for the inclusion of refugees in rural areas given by the speakers and the participants were:
- To consider rural and small communities as welcoming places suitable for resettlement;
- To use social innovation to establish new partnerships in small and rural communities;
- To work and engage with the host and local communities before the newcomer's arrival;
- To teach doctors, police agents and all public agents a specific and targeted approach to deal with refugees;
- To consider migrants as a source of employment (for instance, some of them may have farming expertise);
- To develop services of general interest in small and rural areas and to make them accessible to everyone, including refugees.

Introduction
sap.ui.table.Table is commonly used in OpenUI5 desktop application. Many questions (related to this control) that are posted in this group, it is evident that documentation for this control is lacking and we (developers) have to dive deep into debugging its source code to figure things out. It is fortunate that Javascript source code is always available; modern browsers provide debugging capability and personally, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with someone in SAPUI5 team while using this control. Hence it is an opportunity for me to contribute back to the community on what I have learned about this control.
I am assuming that reader of this document has some basic understanding of OpenUI5. The person understands what is OpenUI5 control, model and model binding. Please ask questions if you have any and I (the community experts) will try answer them. I am hoping that I can keep this as a live document where I can constantly receive feedback and update it.
In this document, we show
 1. A sample JSON model where we are use it our sample code;
 2. Some code snippet on how to instantiate a table
 3. Creating columns and binding of rows
 4. Getting context of selected row(s),
 5. Two ways binding of model and control
Sample JSON Model
 var naughtyList = [
 {lastName: "Dente", name: "Al", stillNaughty: true},
 {lastName: "Friese", name: "Andy", stillNaughty: true},
 {lastName: "Mann", name: "Anita", stillNaughty: false}
 ];
 var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
 oModel.setData(naughtyList);
Instantiate a table
It can be as simple as
var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table();
where we inherit all the default properties from the control. Please refer to the official doc for reference.
There are a few properties that I hope to explain a little more.
SelectionMode (API)
Example
var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({
 selectionMode : sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Single
});
Here you can control the selection mode such as None (disable selection), Single (maximum one row can be selected at any time) and Multi (one or more rows can be selected) . Default is Multi
SelectionBehavior (API)
Example
var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({
 selectionBehavior: sap.ui.table.SelectionBehavior.Row
});
Here you can control how the row can be selected such as RowOnly (mouse click on the row only), Row (mouse click on the row and row selector) and RowSelector (mouse click on the row selector only). Default is RowSelector.
/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/rowselector_428211.png
Create columns and bind rows
Here is an example of how you can do these.
 // instantiate the table
 var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({
 selectionMode : sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Single,
 selectionBehavior: sap.ui.table.SelectionBehavior.Row
 });
 // define the Table columns and the binding values
 oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Last Name"}),
 template: new sap.ui.commons.TextView({text:"{lastName}"})
 }));
 oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "First Name"}),
 template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField({value: "{name}"})
 }));
 oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Still Naughty"}),
 template: new sap.ui.commons.CheckBox({checked: '{stillNaughty}'})
 }));
 oTable.setModel(oModel);
 oTable.bindRows("/");
 oTable.placeAt("content");
Observe that we do bindRows("/"), this is because we have the JSON model containing an array.
oModel.setData(naughtyList);
But if your model is created in this manner,
oModel.setData({'mydata' : naughtyList});
Then you need to do bindRows('/mydata');
And if your data is modified to
 var naughtyList = [
 {lastName: "Dente", name: "Al", stillNaughty: 'true'},
 {lastName: "Friese", name: "Andy", stillNaughty: 'true'},
 {lastName: "Mann", name: "Anita", stillNaughty: 'false'}
 ];
where stillNaugthy is a string and not a boolean. We can adapt to this with this change in the column definition
 oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Still Naughty"}),
 template: new sap.ui.commons.CheckBox({
 checked: {
 path: 'stillNaughty',
 formatter: function(v) {
 return (v === 'true')
 }
 }
 })
 }));
There are many things that you can do with formatter function. For instance if you want to display the first and last name together uppercase the last name. we can do this. (Example)
 oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
 label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({text: "Name"}),
 template: new sap.ui.commons.TextView(
 {text:
 {
 parts : ['name', 'lastName'],
 formatter: function(n, l) {
 if (n && l) {
 return n + ', ' + l.toUpperCase();
 }
 }
 }
 }
 )
 }));
Getting context of selected row(s),
Here come the interesting part of this document because many questions are asked related to this topic.
Single Selection Mode
When a row is selected or deselected, a rowSelectionChange event is fired. And here is how we deal with it. And below this is main code.
 var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({
 selectionMode : sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Single,
 rowSelectionChange: function(e) {
 var idx = e.getParameter('rowIndex');
 if (oTable.isIndexSelected(idx)) {
 var cxt = oTable.getContextByIndex(idx);
 var path = cxt.sPath;
 var obj = oTable.getModel().getProperty(path);
 console.log(obj);
 }
 }
 });
Here (in the code), we can get the selected or deselected row; then we use the isIndexSelected function to check if it is selected or deselected. And by getting the context and path, we are able to get the binding object itself.
Please note that if row 1 is already selected and now user select row #2, this event will not fire for that deselection of row #1, an event will be fired for selection of row #2.
Multi Selection Mode
When one or more rows are selected or deselected, the same rowSelectionChange event will be fired. And here is how we deal with it. And below this is main code.
 var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table({
 selectionMode : sap.ui.table.SelectionMode.Multi,
 rowSelectionChange: function(e) {
 var indices = e.getParameter('rowIndices');
 for (var i = 0; i < indices.length; i++) {
 var idx = indices[i];
 if (oTable.isIndexSelected(idx)) {
 var cxt = oTable.getContextByIndex(idx);
 var path = cxt.sPath;
 var obj = oTable.getModel().getProperty(path);
 console.log(obj);
 }
 }
 }
 });
Here (in the code), we can get the selected or deselected rows; then we iterate through the array and use the isIndexSelected function to check if it is selected or deselected. And by getting the context and path, we are able to get the binding object itself. This piece of code is almost identical to the code snippet in the single selection mode except for getting an

DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5) dnssec-trust-anchors.d DNSSEC-TRUST-ANCHORS.D(5)
dnssec-trust-anchors.d, systemd.positive, systemd.negative - DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files
The DNSSEC trust anchor configuration files define positive and negative trust anchors systemd-resolved.service(8) bases DNSSEC integrity
POSITIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Positive trust anchor configuration files contain DNSKEY and DS resource record definitions to use as base for DNSSEC integrity proofs. See
RFC 4035, Section 4.4 for more information about DNSSEC trust anchors.
Positive trust anchors are read from files with the suffix.positive located in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/, /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/
and /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/. These directories are searched in the specified order, and a trust anchor file of the same name in an
earlier path overrides a trust anchor files in a later path. To disable a trust anchor file shipped in /usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ it
is sufficient to provide an identically-named file in /etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ or /run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/ that is either empty or
a symlink to /dev/null ("masked").
Positive trust anchor files are simple text files resembling DNS zone files, as documented in RFC 1035, Section 5. One DS or DNSKEY
resource record may be listed per line. Empty lines and lines starting with a semicolon (";") are ignored and considered comments. A DS
resource record is specified like in the following example:
. IN DS 19036 8 2 49aac11d7b6f6446702e54a1607371607a1a41855200fd2ce1cdde32f24e8fb5
The first word specifies the domain, use "." for the root domain. The domain may be specified with or without trailing dot, which is
considered equivalent. The second word must be "IN" the third word "DS". The following words specify the key tag, signature algorithm,
digest algorithm, followed by the hex-encoded key fingerprint. See RFC 4034, Section 5 for details about the precise syntax and meaning
of these fields.
Alternatively, DNSKEY resource records may be used to define trust anchors, like in the following example:
. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 AwEAAagAIKlVZrpC6Ia7gEzahOR+9W29euxhJhVVLOyQbSEW0O8gcCjFFVQUTf6v58fLjwBd0YI0EzrAcQqBGCzh/RStIoO8g0NfnfL2MTJRkxoXbfDaUeVPQuYEhg37NZWAJQ9VnMVDxP/VHL496M/QZxkjf5/Efucp2gaDX6RS6CXpoY68LsvPVjR0ZSwzz1apAzvN9dlzEheX7ICJBBtuA6G3LQpzW5hOA2hzCTMjJPJ8LbqF6dsV6DoBQzgul0sGIcGOYl7OyQdXfZ57relSQageu+ipAdTTJ25AsRTAoub8ONGcLmqrAmRLKBP1dfwhYB4N7knNnulqQxA+Uk1ihz0=
The first word specifies the domain again, the second word must be "IN", followed by "DNSKEY". The subsequent words encode the DNSKEY
flags, protocol and algorithm fields, followed by the key data encoded in Base64. See RFC 4034, Section 2 for details about the precise
syntax and meaning of these fields.
If multiple DS or DNSKEY records are defined for the same domain (possibly even in different trust anchor files), all keys are used and are
considered equivalent as base for DNSSEC proofs.
Note that systemd-resolved will automatically use a built-in trust anchor key for the Internet root domain if no positive trust anchors are
defined for the root domain. In most cases it is hence unnecessary to define an explicit key with trust anchor files. The built-in key is
disabled as soon as at least one trust anchor key for the root domain is defined in trust anchor files.
It is generally recommended to encode trust anchors in DS resource records, rather than DNSKEY resource records.
If a trust anchor specified via a DS record is found revoked it is automatically removed from the trust anchor database for the runtime.
See RFC 5011 for details about revoked trust anchors. Note that systemd-resolved will not update its trust anchor database from DNS
servers automatically. Instead, it is recommended to update the resolver software or update the new trust anchor via adding in new trust
The current DNSSEC trust anchor for the Internet's root domain is available at the IANA Trust Anchor and Keys page.
NEGATIVE TRUST ANCHORS
Negative trust anchors define domains where DNSSEC validation shall be turned off. Negative trust anchor files are found at the same
location as positive trust anchor files, and follow the same overriding rules. They are text files with the.negative suffix. Empty lines
and lines whose first character is ";" are ignored. Each line specifies one domain name which is the root of a DNS subtree where validation
shall be disabled.
Negative trust anchors are useful to support private DNS subtrees that are not referenced from the Internet DNS hierarchy, and not signed.
RFC 7646 for details on negative trust anchors.
If no negative trust anchor files are configured a built-in set of well-known private DNS zone domains is used as negative trust anchors.
It is also possibly to define per-interface negative trust anchors using the DNSSECNegativeTrustAnchors= setting in systemd.network(5)
systemd(1), systemd-resolved.service(8), resolved.conf(5), systemd.network(5)

14 Oracle Text Utilities
This chapter discusses the utilities shipped with Oracle Text. The following topics are included:
14.1 Thesaurus Loader (ctxload)
Use ctxload to import a thesaurus file into the Oracle Text thesaurus tables.
An import file is an ASCII flat file that contains entries for synonyms, broader terms, narrower terms, or related terms, which can be used to expand queries.
See Also:
For examples of import files for thesaurus importing, see Structure of ctxload Thesaurus Import File in Appendix C, "Text Loading Examples for Oracle Text"
14.1.1 Text Loading
The ctxload program no longer supports the loading of text columns. To load files to a text column in batch mode, Oracle recommends that you use SQL*Loader.
14.1.2 ctxload Syntax
ctxload -user username[/password][_USER_]
 -name object_name
 -file file_name
 [-thescase y|n]
 [-log file_name]
 [-trace] Mandatory Arguments
Specify the user name and password of the user running ctxload.
The user name and password can be followed immediately by _USER_ to permit logging on to remote databases. The value for sqlnet_address is a database connect string. If the TWO_TASK environment variable is set to a remote database, then you do not need to specify a value for sqlnet_address to connect to the database.
-name object_name
When you use ctxload to import a thesaurus, use object_name to specify the name of the thesaurus to be imported.
Use object_name to identify the thesaurus in queries that use thesaurus operators.
Thesaurus name must be unique. If the name specified for the thesaurus is identical to an existing thesaurus, then ctxload returns an error and does not overwrite the existing thesaurus.
-file file_name
When ctxload is used to import a thesaurus, use file_name to specify the name of the import file that contains the thesaurus entries.
When ctxload is used to export a thesaurus, use file_name to specify the name of the export file created by ctxload.
If the name specified for the thesaurus dump file is identical to an existing file, then ctxload overwrites the existing file. Optional Arguments
Import a thesaurus. Specify the source file with the -file argument. Specify the name of the thesaurus to be imported with -name.
-thescase y | n
Specify y to create a case-sensitive thesaurus with the name specified by -name and populate the thesaurus with entries from the thesaurus import file specified by -file. If -thescase is y (the thesaurus is case-sensitive), ctxload enters the terms in the thesaurus exactly as they appear in the import file.
The default for -thescase is n (case-insensitive thesaurus).
-thescase is valid for use only with the -thes argument.
Export a thesaurus. Specify the name of the thesaurus to be exported with the -name argument. Specify the destination file with the -file argument.
Specify the name of the log file to which ctxload writes any national-language supported (Globalization Support) messages generated during processing. If you do not specify a log file name, the messages appear on the standard output.
Enables SQL statement tracing using ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE TRUE. This command captures all processed SQL statements in a trace file, which can be used for debugging. The location of the trace file is operating-system dependent and can be modified using the USER_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter.
See Also:
For more information about SQL trace and the USER_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter, see Oracle Database Administrator's Guide
14.1.3 ctxload Examples
This section provides examples for some of the operations that ctxload can perform.
See Also:
For more document loading examples, see Appendix C, "Text Loading Examples for Oracle Text" Thesaurus Import Example
The following example imports a thesaurus named tech_doc from an import file named tech_thesaurus.txt:
ctxload -user jsmith/123abc -thes -name tech_doc -file tech_thesaurus.txt Thesaurus Export Example
The following example dumps the contents of a thesaurus named tech_doc into a file named tech_thesaurus.out:

14.2 Knowledge Base Extension Compiler (ctxkbtc)
The knowledge base is the information source that Oracle Text uses to perform theme analysis, such as theme indexing, processing ABOUT queries, and to document theme extraction with the CTX_DOC package. A knowledge base is supplied for English and French.
With the ctxkbtc compiler, you can:
 - Extend your knowledge base by compiling one or more thesauri with the Oracle Text knowledge base. The extended information can be application-specific terms and relationships. During theme analysis, the extended portion of the knowledge base overrides any terms and relationships in the knowledge base where there is overlap.
 - Create a new user-defined knowledge base by compiling one or more thesauri. In languages other than English and French, this feature can be used to create a language-specific knowledge base.
 Only CTXSYS can extend the knowledge base.

 For more information about document services, see Chapter 8, "CTX_DOC Package"
14.2.1 Knowledge Base Character Set
Knowledge bases can be in any single-byte character set. Supplied knowledge bases are in WE8ISO8859P1. You can store an extended knowledge base in another character set such as US7ASCII.
14.2.2 ctxkbtc Syntax
ctxkbtc -user uname/passwd
[-name thesname1 [thesname2... thesname16]]
[-stoplist stoplistname]
[-log filename]
Specify the user name and password for the administrator creating an extended knowledge base. This user must have write permission to the ORACLE_HOME directory.
-name thesname1 [thesname2... thesname16]
Specify the name(s) of the thesauri (up to 16) to be compiled with the knowledge base to create the extended knowledge base. The thesauri you specify must already be loaded with ctxload with the "-thescase Y" option
Reverts the extended knowledge base to the default knowledge base provided by Oracle Text.
-stoplist stoplistname
Specify the name of the stoplist. Stopwords in the stoplist are added to the knowledge base as useless words that are prevented from becoming themes or contributing to themes. Add stopthemes after running this command using CTX_DLL.ADD_STOPTHEME.
Displays all warnings and messages, including non-Globalization Support messages, to the standard output.
Specify the log file for storing all messages. When you specify a log file, no messages are reported to standard out.
14.2.3 ctxkbtc Usage Notes
 - Before running ctxkbtc, you must set the NLS_LANG environment variable to match the database character set.
 - The user issuing ctxkbtc must have write permission to the ORACLE_HOME, because the program writes files to this directory.
 - Before being compiled, each thesaurus must be loaded into Oracle Text case sensitive with the "-thescase Y" option in ctxload.
 - Running ctxkbtc twice removes the previous extension.
14.2.4 ctxkbtc Limitations
The ctxkbtc program has the following limitations:
 - When upgrading or downgrading your database to a different release, for theme indexing and related features to work correctly, Oracle recommends that you recompile your extended knowledge base in the new environment.
 - Before extending the knowledge base, you must terminate all server processes that have invoked any knowledge base-related Text functions during their lifetime.
 - There can be only one user extension for each language for each installation. Because a user extension affects all users at the installation, only the CTXSYS user can extend the knowledge base.
 - In a RAC environment, the ORACLE_HOME can either be shared between multiple nodes, or each node can have its own ORACLE_HOME. The following requirements apply:
 - Before using any knowledge base-dependent functionality in any of the RAC nodes, ctxkbtc must be run in every ORACLE_HOME in the RAC environment.
 - When using ctxkbtc, the exact same input thesaurus content must be used in every ORACLE_HOME in the RAC environment.
14.2.5 ctxkbtc Constraints on Thesaurus Terms
Terms are case sensitive. If a thesaurus has a term in uppercase, for example, the same term present in lowercase form in a document will not be recognized.
The maximum length of a term is 80 characters.
Disambiguated homographs are not supported.
14.2.6 ctxkbtc Constraints on Thesaurus Relations
The following constraints apply to thesaurus relations:
 - BTG and BTP are the same as BT. NTG and NTP are the same as NT.
 - Only preferred terms can have a BT, NTs or RTs.
 - If a term has no USE relation, it will be treated as its own preferred term.
 - If a set of terms are related by SYN relations, only one of them may be a preferred term.
 - An existing category cannot

Never Use a No-Reply Email Address (and What to Do Instead)
Illustration by Mary Delaney Phone lines are cut
What email address do you use as the sender when you send messages from your organization or brand? Like many companies, you might use a no-reply email address.
Many organizations use this type of address to dissuade customers from replying to certain emails, for example, receipts or marketing emails.
There are some major issues with this practice. If you use a no-reply email address, you might be damaging your organization's reputation and even reducing the efficacy of your email marketing campaigns.
And you might not even realize that a no-reply address is the cause of your lackluster email marketing results.
Here is what you need to know about the consequences of using a no-reply email address for your email marketing and transactional messages, and what to do instead.
What is a no-reply email address?
A no-reply email is an address that uses the format ""
Many businesses use this format to send marketing emails or transactional emails, such as receipts or shipping information. The goal is to prevent customers from flooding the email inbox with unnecessary responses. Responses to these addresses are either never answered or are sent back with a no-delivery notification.
From a business perspective, it might make sense to use a no reply email. You likely have a separate support email address that is monitored, so why should it matter? From the user side, there are several issues with using a no-reply address.
Why you should never use a no-reply email address
Do not reply email – not talking to a customer
When a subscriber signs up for your email list, they are giving you permission to send them emails about your brand or organization. They are indicating that they value a relationship with you and want to hear more about what you do.
Using a no-reply email blocks two-way communication, which limits your relationship, and can actually hurt your email marketing efforts. Here are a few reasons why you should never use a no-reply email address.
1. A no-reply email address can harm your email delivery rate
You spend hours designing the perfect email. You write and rewrite copy, you agonize over the perfect email subject line, and you obsess over your CTA. But if you are using a no-reply email address, your message might never even hit your subscribers' inbox.
Internet service providers (think Comcast or AT&T) and email providers (think Gmail) use filters to prevent spam messages from making it into their client's inboxes. Using a no-reply email can result in your email being caught in a spam filter and blocks your email from being delivered at all.
Not every no-reply email address will get caught by spam filters, but it can definitely happen and you might have no idea why your emails aren't getting delivered.
Want to avoid spam boxes? Learn more about how the Mailpoet Sending Service can help you avoid spam boxes.
2. Many users cannot add no-reply addresses to their address book
In addition, most email service providers do not allow users to add no-reply email addresses to their address book. Not a big deal, you don't want them to email you back at that address anyway, right?
But, there is another issue. When a user adds an email address to their address book, it prevents that email from getting marked as spam by filters. If you use a no-reply email, receivers have no way to prevent your email from being caught by their spam filter. All that time you spend crafting the perfect email? Wasted.
3. Using a no-reply email can frustrate your audience
Many times, customers don't see or just ignore the no-reply address. Most people don't even check the email address when responding, they just hit 'reply.' When you don't answer, they think you are ignoring them. Or, worse, they get a "cannot deliver" notification, which makes them think your first email was spam.
You contacted them from that email address, and most users do not understand why they can't reply. In their mind, every email address has someone the other end.
Think about it from the user's perspective:
You receive an email from your favorite company. You have a brilliant thought, so you hit reply. Maybe you want to ask them a question or offer feedback about their newest product.
Two seconds later you get a "cannot deliver" notification. Or worse, an impersonal email stating that the email box isn't monitored.
You are annoyed, but you head to their website and find their contact email address. You send the email, but you are a little put off by the extra step. Why don't they want to hear from you? Maybe they don't really value your thoughts.
Don't create a pain point just for the sake of a cleaner inbox.
Lastly, don't forget to keep in mind what you are actually saying to users. For more on this topic, check out 11 Things You Should Never Say to Customers in Emails.
4. You might miss out on valuable communication
When a customer reply to your emails, it could be for a multitude of reasons. They might have an issue with downloading the ebook they just purchased. They might be struggling to complete a purchase, or just have a simple question. They might have a suggestion for an added feature or be a journalist who wants to feature your company in an article. You will never know!
When you cut off communication by using a no-reply email address, you won't have access to this communication. You might miss uncovering where many of your customers are getting lost in your funnel. You won't be there to answer simple questions (with a simple email reply) that could increase conversion rates. You could miss out on any number of opportunities.
When customers invite you into their inbox, they expect the communication to be two-sided. Using a no-reply email is impersonal and provides a poor user experience.
5. Using a no-reply email address might not be GDPR-compliant
GDPR (Global Data Protection Regulation) is a set of European Union laws that outlines how companies use the data they gather about customers and internet users. One of the rules states customers must be able to request information about the data collected about them.
By using a no-reply address, you are preventing customers from communicating with you. While there is no provision specifically outlawing no-reply email addresses, there are cases where it could impact your GDPR compliance. In addition, failure to adhere to GDPR could result in fines.
For more, check out GDPR: Get Ready for the New EU Privacy Law in Fifteen Minutes.
6. Using a no-reply address increases your chances of being marked as spam
In addition to being caught by spam filters, no-reply addresses are more likely to get marked by spam by users themselves. For example, say a recipient tries to reply to your email. They get a notification that their email cannot be delivered. They think your email was spam, so they mark it as spam with their email provider. Now every email you get from them will go into their spam folder, never to see the light of day.
Getting marked as spam can have long-term consequences for your email marketing, too. If your emails get marked as spam by multiple users, your email provider might get blacklisted, which prevents any emails from any user from being delivered.
All these issues just for the sake of preventing a few replies. Doesn't seem worth it, does it? Luckily, there is another way.
What to use instead of a no-reply email address
Do not reply email – talking to a customer on the phone
Now that you understand all the different issues that can arise when using a no-reply email address to send emails to your list, what should you do instead? Below, we will walk you through all the steps, including how to manage the replies you receive.
1. Swap out that no-reply email for a real email address
The first step is to swap out your no-reply email address with an email address specifically for your marketing campaigns or transactional emails. This will ensure replies do not get mixed up with, say, support requests.
Here are a few ideas to consider using instead of a no-reply address:
 - (This looks personal and doesn't have to be managed by the owner.)
You might be overwhelmed at the thought of allowing people to respond to your marketing emails, particularly if your resources are limited. Luckily, there are ways to prevent your already stretched team from getting buried in a mountain of responses
2. Use tools and rules to separate emails for responses
Ideally, you would have someone monitor the responses inbox and reply to emails. However, this might not always be possible. (This was likely why you were using a no-reply email to begin with, right?)
Once you have a separate email box for responses, you can use filters and rules to direct emails to the appropriate inboxes. For example, some email clients allow you to create rules to filter emails with specific words in the title to another email box. (Here is how to do it in Gmail.)
You could also use an autoresponder. This will show your audience you are interested in communicating with them and will get back to them as soon as possible.
Or, you could set the autoresponder to reply with a list of resources and a support phone number. You could also you could direct urgent requests to another email address.
The solution for fielding emails will depend upon whether people are responding to sales emails or, say, transactional emails. You might direct responses to email marketing messages to your sales team and have replies to transactional emails sent to your support team. (I would suggest setting up separate email addresses to make this easier!)
3. Use customer questions to inspire content and resources
Once you start getting responses, you might notice that many replies contain requests for similar information. This represents an


Zenfolio | Fun With Pinball | About
Fun With Pinball
Fun With Pinball was initially built for the inaugural NoCo Mini Maker Faire in Loveland, Colorado in October 2013. The idea was to give guests the opportunity to explore many of the remarkable devices used in pinball machines. Devices are mounted on boards to expose their workings and wired to power with push buttons so guests can activate them and figure out how they work. The devices are all from electromechanical (EM) pinball machines which were made until the late 1970s when solid state (SS) machines built with electronics took over. Most of these devices are well used, having been replaced during a game restoration, but still work well enough for demonstration purposes.
Fun With Pinball isn't just for pinball enthusiasts. Certainly pinball fans might enjoy seeing some of the components of their pastime in more detail, and recognize the ingenuity and creativity of the designers who originally put them together.
But the intention is that a much wider audience might be curious enough to take a few minutes to explore how something works if given the opportunity to activate, observe, experiment and study it. While a pinball machine is complicated and hard to comprehend, the individual mechanisms are pretty straightforward and easy to understand. Beyond the obvious question of "What does this do?" are more subtle and interesting questions and answers from many fields including electricity, magnetism, mechanics, physics, logic, etc. These pinball related devices are just a hook to foster a curiosity in the underlying science of how things work.
In a world of smart phones and disposable electronics it's hard to get a grasp on what makes things work. Taking a close look at this older, more tangible technology where everything is visible might be a good starting place for developing an interest in and understanding of much more complicated technologies.
The inspiration for the Fun With Pinball exhibit came primarily from two sources. The first is a collection of mechanical models built in the late 1800s to teach the fundamentals of machine motion. Each model is completely functional and clearly demonstrates a single mechanism. Students could manipulate the models and discover how they work by interacting with them.
The second inspiration of course is the remarkable Visible Pinball Machine built by the Pacific Pinball Museum.
Ideas for the Future
Most of the effort put into the Fun With Pinball exhibit for the first few years has been in designing and building the exhibit pieces and custom made crates to facilitate moving and storing them. As the exhibit has grown building has slowed because it has reached, or even surpassed, critical mass. Attention is gradually moving to other areas including the development of this web site. Ideas for the future include:
 - Design and build a few more pieces as compelling ideas come to mind.
 - Develop more online science and technology lessons using parts of the exhibit on the Learn page.
 - Develop curricula and presentation materials using parts of the exhibit for seminars, workshops, classes, etc.
 - Take it on the road to reach a wider audience.

Human Rights Due Diligence
An Exercise of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction?
In its recently released General Comment (GC) No 24 the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) makes a crucial point: It establishes that regulation imposing Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), although having potential extraterritorial effects and impacts, does not imply the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction. But is this really the case? This contribution will verify whether this position is rooted in International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and if it finds echo in doctrinal opinion.
The GC No 24 provides also that '[t]he obligation to protect entails a positive duty to adopt a legal framework requiring business entities to exercise HRDD'. In this vain, a critical issue arising from the domestic regulation imposing HRDD concerns its international effects, since it will shape the behavior of companies abroad, leaving place for discussions about the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Determining Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
Under general international law, the lawfulness of extraterritorial jurisdiction has been largely discussed. Equally, scholars have been debating the existence of extraterritorial obligations under IHRL. Despite that less attention has been given to the question under which conditions a state's act can be classified as extraterritorial (at p. 97). Indeed, this question is challenging, given that there is no consensus about the concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Under IHRL such question gains special importance, given that extraterritorial jurisdiction enacts not only the possibility of legitimate exercise of jurisdiction, but also the duty to comply with legally binding obligations.
It is necessary to define some clear criteria that can be used to verify if extraterritorial jurisdiction is being exercised. By applying these criteria to the models of HRDD regulation, it would be possible to verify if the existing models effectively exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction, or if they don't.
Under general international law, one criterion to identify extraterritorial prescriptive jurisdiction is to distinguish between direct and indirect extraterritoriality. An act that is classified as indirectly extraterritorial regulates a conduct which takes place inside the state's territory and has mere indirect effects abroad. The typical example is a restriction to enter the country, addressed to persons or products – in such cases, the conduct which is regulated occurs within the territory (the entry into the country), despite the undeniable effects abroad. On the other hand, an act should be classified as directly extraterritorial, and consequentially, as exercising extraterritorial jurisdiction, when it directly regulates a conduct abroad. Simply put, the domestic regulation provides a legal consequence for the conduct wherever it occurs, including outside the state's borders. Moreover, concerning prescriptive jurisdiction, the classification of an act as extraterritorial is an interpretative question, and requires an individual analysis of each act or regulation.
Evaluation of General Comment No 24
The elucidation in the GC No 24 regarding the regulation of human rights due diligence and extraterritorial exercise of jurisdiction is very welcomed. Nonetheless, a more detailed elaboration on the subject would be very useful. As it was seen above, the question of extraterritorial exercise of jurisdiction remains controversial and one important source of this controversy is the absence of consensus between scholars over a clear criterion permitting the classification of States' acts as exercising extraterritorial jurisdiction or not.
Accordingly, a better method could have been developed to identify the limits between territorial and extraterritorial jurisdiction in the light of the reasoning presented in the report of the Special Representative on Business and Human Rights Professor Ruggie in 2010. The construction of a clear method would be in the interest of States that would have a better understanding of the extension of their obligations and it would help to trace the limits of non-interference. It would also be in the interest of civil society, since it would help to clarify obligations under IHRL, thus allowing them to pressure the States to comply with international engagements. For business, as it has already been said, the clarification of the issue will certainly contribute to legal security, and thus it would also be in the interest of corporations.
It is indeed regrettable that the GC No 24 did not explore this relation in order to shed more light and guidance to states regarding this issue – especially on the possible links between HRDD, parent company or group liability and potential exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction.
HRDD and a Treaty on Business and Human Rights
The open-ended Intergovernmental Working Group established by the Human Rights Council in June 2014 is currently working on the negotiation of a legally binding international instrument on Business and Human Rights. As a work in progress, the negotiators should bear in mind that in the present globalized economic context the only possible exercise of sovereignty is sharing sovereignty. In this context, extraterritoriality should be regarded as a tool of cooperation among States rather than a source of conflict of interests and sovereignty friction. More than that, it should not be seen as a simple binary concept. In this context, the clarification of concepts and criteria concerning the exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction is a key point and it deserves more attention from the doctrine and from the Working Group. A new treaty on the subject of Human Rights and Business should carefully consider this question.
All considered, human rights due diligence plays a central role in the promotion of human rights and it should be incorporated in a new treaty. It is important to bear in mind that even if human rights due diligence is imposed according to a model of regulation that does not exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction, it will have extraterritorial effects, and it will indirectly influence the behavior of companies abroad. Hence, it is important to take steps towards a multilateral treaty that harmonizes unilateral measures, building an acceptable balance between state sovereignty and business' interests, and, the most important, promoting and assuring the respect, protection and fulfillment of human rights.

Going beyond previous books on Marxism and education, Revolutionary Learning is a groundbreaking collection of essays exploring the Marxist and feminist theories of education and learning. Scholar-activists Sara Carpenter and Sharazad Mojab closely examine the core philosophical concepts behind Marxist analysis of learning and extend its critique with significant implications for critical education scholarship, research, and practice by drawing upon work by feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonial scholars. They reconsider the contributions of Marx, Gramsci, and Freire to educational theory from an explicitly feminist perspective, moving Marxist analysis of education into a more complex relation to patriarchal and imperialist capitalism. Their distinctive approach focuses on the nature of schooling and educational institutions, and pushes past previous literature on Marxist-feminism. Revolutionary Learning's significance lies not only in its contribution to theory, but also in its engagement with pedagogical practice through careful attention to the daily work of educators and how this can be connected to the broader environment of public policy, civil society, and the market.

|Wood Badge Course Registration Form||Wood Badge Dinner, 4/17/13|
Baden-Powell took the first steps in the training of Scouters by organizing a series of lectures for Scouters in 1911. He made great strides by devising and instituting Wood Badge training in 1919.
Wood Badge recipients now number more than 100,000 throughout the world.
The object of the Wood Badge course is to demonstrate as practically as possible the aims and methods of Scouting. Upon successful completion of the course, the participant receives a parchment certificate and the Wood Badgetwo wooden beads worn on a leather thong around the neck. These beads replicate the beads found by Baden-Powell during a campaign in Africa in 1888. They belonged to Dinizulu, an African chieftain. In searching for a suitable recognition for those who completed the first course in 1919, Baden-Powell remembered the beads and decided to present a bead to each participant. At that time, the course was called "Wood Badge."
The Wood Badge may be worn only with an official field uniform of the BSA. The Scouter to whom it has been awarded may also wear the tan neckerchief with its patch of Maclaren tartan at the back. The Wood Badge neckerchief may only be worn with the accompanying leather neckerchief slide or woggle.
In 1919, W. F. de Bois Maclaren, a district commissioner in Scotland, purchased Gilwell Park and presented it to The Scout Association of Britain. He wanted "to provide a training ground for the officers of the Scouting movement." Consequently, Gilwell Park became the permanent home of Wood Badge training in England and annually welcomes Scouters from around the world. The ax and log symbol associated with Wood Badge is actually the totem of Gilwell Park. Recently, The Scout Association has announced that it would relocate its headquarters from London to Gilwell Park.
In 1929, at the Third World Jamboree at Birkenhead, England, Sir Baden-Powell was made a baron by his king, and became Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell.

Cocoa is a city in Brevard County, Florida. The population was 17,140 at the 2010 United States Census. It is part of the Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Several stories circulate among Cocoa old timers as to how the town got its name. One story says that the mail used to come by river boat and was placed in an empty tin box labeled Baker's Cocoa. The box was nailed to a piling in the river next to downtown. Additionally, an early hotel in the area, located on the Indian River lagoon, was named Cocoa House.The city was chartered in 1895.The population rose dramatically following the development of the space industry, quadrupling from 3,098 in 1940 to 12,244 in 1960. Cocoa and the surrounding area also became integrated with the tourist industry for the first time as thousands visited the area to witness the launches from Cape Canaveral.

The red-handed tamarin's body measures 20.5–28 centimeters (8.1–11 in); including the tail they measure 31–44 centimeters (12–17 in). They weigh 400–550 grams (0.88–1.2 lb). Their life expectancy is approximately 10 years in the wild and 16 years in captivity. The tamarin's diet consists of fruit, flowers, insects, frogs, spiders, lizards, and nectar. Their natural predators are small cats, birds of prey, and snakes. (information from Wikipedia)
These tamarins were spotted at Dallas World Aquarium, and the final shot shows the huge palm tree they were in. It's at least 30 feet tall! You can see the tamarins on the upper-right frond.
