Emerging markets like Asia Pacific are the real opportunities in health and wellness.
Global demand for healthy food and drinks is rising, driven by the many individuals more aware of their nutritional intake. Such products-particularly those with a functional positioning-are often more expensive than conventional packaged food and beverages. Despite this, global sales were up 3% in 2012–2013 in constant-value terms, reaching an impressive US$749.6 billion in 2013-equivalent to 34% of total beverage and packaged food sales globally.
However, it is emerging markets that are driving the global engine of growth in health and wellness (HW). Euromonitor International's HW data show that, in 2013, of the top 10 fastest-growing countries in HW packaged food and HW beverages, five and four of them, respectively, were in Asia Pacific. (See Table 1)
While China (inclusive of Hong Kong) led the way, partly driven by the incredible demand for fortified/functional milk formula, opportunities do not only lie here. Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and India are significant growth markets-albeit from a smaller base-with increasing disposable income levels and rising availability of healthier food and drinks paving the way. In addition, rising health concerns related to dietary intake are also helping to fuel demand.
Diet-Related Issues Are a Growing Concern
Developing countries are increasingly facing the same challenges as developed ones where non-communicable diseases like diabetes and obesity-related conditions are concerned. According to Euromonitor International's Countries & Consumers data, in Vietnam, for example, which ranks as the third-top growth market in HW beverages, obesity in the population aged 15+ rocketed by 92% over the 2008–2013 period; in China and India, obesity rates rose by 57% and 37%, respectively.
Owing to a multitude of factors resulting from rapid social and economic change, extremes of malnutrition and obesity exist side by side in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific. This puts a firm focus on affordable maternal and child nutrition, as well as weight management and diabetes products-hence, driving demand not just for HW products but more specifically for fortified/functional food and drinks.
Asia Pacific: 30% of Global HW Sales by 2018
In 2002–2018, the percentage of global HW sales attributed to the Asia Pacific region will rise from 20% to an expected 31%. (Click on images to see Graph 1)
A key driver of this growth is, of course, milk formula. As consumers in Asia Pacific-and, more specifically, China-become more educated about nutritional issues, and disposable income levels rise, demand for more functional milk formulas with additional omega fatty acids, probiotics, prebiotics, and a multitude of vitamins and minerals is growing. In 2013 alone, annual growth in functional milk formulas reached 18% in China.
However, while milk formula has a part to play in the strong growth, there is increasingly demand for health benefits from everyday food and drink products, as well.
Dairy Brands Capitalize on Digestive Health
In 2013, annual HW growth in Asia reached 10%, with the market predominantly driven by fortified/functional dairy brands. Wahaha, Yakult, Wang Zai, and Yili were the top four brands in Asia Pacific in 2013. While these brands resonate with different consumer groups, a common feature is their ability to promote their products' additional digestive-health benefits.
In fact, digestive health is the third-largest HW category in Asia Pacific, behind general well being and weight management. There is a growing awareness of probiotics and the association of digestive health with retaining a slim figure.
In dairy products, it is not just the well-known vitamins and minerals that are attracting consumer attention, either; inulin, magnesium, and manganese are starting to appear in more products.
Supplements Gaining Traction
Asian consumers are looking beyond food and drinks and to supplements to boost their well being. The three highest-selling single-nutrient supplements are calcium, ginseng, and protein, and the region will post the second-highest amount of new supplement sales of US$6.9 billion over 2013–2018, behind only North America. Interestingly, despite the fact that Asia has the largest value sales of any region, it has the third-lowest per capita spend for supplements overall, indicating that vitamins and dietary supplements are relatively affordable to a large number of the population.
In tune with rising interest in digestive health, as products linked to traditional medicine continue to perform well, so, too, will probiotic supplements. For now, the region posted a constant value CAGR of just 2% over 2008–2013 for probiotic supplement sales. While Japan is the most established market in the region for probiotic supplements, in South Korea and China, demand is growing fast, with a CAGR in constant-value terms of 13% and 10%, respectively, recorded over the same time period.
Energy Boosting in Demand
Energy-boosting product sales rank next behind digestive health in Asia Pacific, with sales of US$7.8 billion in 2013. Led by TC Pharmaceutical Industry Company's Red Bull in China and Otsuka Holdings Company's Oronamin in Japan, the market continues to evolve with the launch of snack bars such as Soy Joy and more natural alternatives.
While caffeine remains important to the energy-boosting market, B vitamins, ginseng, taurine, and royal jelly, among many others, are also increasingly gaining presence in products, particularly soft drinks.
Linked closely to energy boosting are products that boost cognitive performance. As research on brain health and memory gains traction, this positioning has the potential to be successful in Asia. However, in order to see success, manufacturers must build consumer trust around the efficacy of products and use well-established ingredients such as omega fatty acids, vitamin E, and Ginkgo biloba. In fact, China is gearing up to be an important market for omega fatty acid supplements, particularly targeting the aging population. The country recently introduced omega fatty acid intake guidelines. It estimates that only a quarter of the population currently ingests enough omega fatty acids. These guidelines recommend 250–2,000 mg per day for adults.
A Willingness to Try Novel Ingredients
Despite rapidly increasing sales of HW products, the Asia Pacific market is far from saturated. In fact, it has the second-lowest per capita consumption of HW products of any region, only above Middle East and Africa.
To stay ahead, manufacturers should capitalize on the rising interest in functional ingredients in the region and launch new variants incorporating more novel functional ingredients. Manufacturers expanding in Asia Pacific have the significant advantage of targeting consumers who are more willing to try and have faith in new functional ingredients. Consumers' willingness to try novel ingredients is a key to success.

How Do I Increment An Hex Number Inside A String?
I have this string:
and I want to add a number to the last section, I splited this string:
LSec(4) = "8dc429826254"
Now I want to add 15 to this number (Lsec(4)), and then change it back to a string so I can get something like this:
Any ideas?? :S

2003/1 ; 2003/2 ; 2003/3 ; 2003/4.......
If I select the year from combobox then according to the year the number should increse and that should be concatinated to the year and the whole should be pasted in text box.....Using Ms-Access as a database and VB as frontend......
Storing Digits For Large Number Calc
I'm planning a module for arithmetic on large numbers and I need to store an arbitrary amount of numerical digits (0-9) in the quickest variable type possible and without wasting horrendous amounts of memory.
Longs and Integers, while the fastest of variable types, simply cannot store that amount of data.
Strings are virtually free of length boundaries, but they're 38 times slower than bytes and given that they're Unicode, they would require 2 bytes per digit. Also, string operations are notoriously slow.
I was thinking byte arrays would work well, although they are still much too large (256 possible values as compared only needing 10). This would waste half the byte. 4 bits would work well (16 possible values), but the problem would be storing and retrieving two numerical digits for individual operations. I could mathematically determine two separate digits from a value 00-99. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the first and second character of a byte in Hex would return the values of the first and second group of 4 bits independently.
I'm just tossing some ideas around. Thanks for any feedback!
Taking A Number In A Textbox, And Finding The Mean Of The Digits.
How do you write in a number in a text, and seperate the digits of that number? I need to find the mean of a number from 1 to 99999, then find the digit in the number that is closest to the mean, but isnt larger. Please help me.
I'm going to have a text box, label, and command button.
Basically how do I seperate digits in a number that is a string.
Choosing Number Of Digits After Decimal To Display
To display numbers according to the regional setting I used this code:
nNumber = 123456.789
and the result is 123,456.79
I want that I can choose how many number of digits after decimal to display, but the thousand and decimal separator symbol remain to follow the regional setting.
Is it possible?

Solved: Increment About Form Version Number
Can someone explain how to increment the About form version number? It just stays at 1.1.0. Other than not incrementing the form looks just fine. The code in the About form includes...
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Caption = "About " & App.Title
lblVersion.Caption = "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & _
"." & App.Revision
lblTitle.Caption = App.Title
lblDescription.Caption = "This program was written by...blah blah"
lblDisclaimer.Caption = "Warning:...This program is protected....blah"
..but there is also under - project properties - make, the version number Major, Minor, Revision.
I have them each set to 1. And, the Auto increment is checked. But, I'm not sure about under Application the Title and Icon part. The drop down for the Icon just lists all the different forms I have in this project. I don't think of a form as an icon what am I missing here?
Under Version Information Type there are entries like comments, company name, file description and so on. What are these for?
Forgive my ignorance I realize this ain't rocket science. Maybe it's the triptophan kicking in.
thanks for any help

(RESOLVED)(VB6)Auto Increment Number In Access
I use Access2002 and VB6. My project is a school project. I have 2 comboboxes and one textbox. In my Access database I've already entered data. In combo1 I show the classes like LKG,UKG,STD I,STD II,STD III etc. In combo2, I show the names of students found in that particular class which is selected in Combo1.Let's assume that the maximum strength in each class is 100. Now I want to allot Roll no to students of different classes in a particular way. For example: Students of LKG should have Roll no starting from 101. Students of UKG should have Roll no from 201. Students of STD I should have Roll no from 301 like this. In the textbox if I write the first roll no of a class, can I allot roll no to all students of that class in auto increment way? Hope, you got me.Right? I mean, if I choose UKG and in the textbox I write 501 then roll no should be added in database against all students of that class like 501,502,503,504 and each name. The roll no should be incremented till the no of students are found in the class. Is it possible throught VB6 coding? Thanks.

Using Caché Globals
Using Multidimensional Storage (Globals)
[Home] [Back] [Next]
InterSystems: The power behind what matters
Class Reference
Search:
This chapter describes the various operations you can perform using multidimensional storage (global variables). It includes the following topics:
Storing Data in Globals
Storing data in global nodes is simple: you treat a global as you would any other variable. The difference is that operations on globals are automatically written to the database.
Creating Globals
There is no setup work required to create a new global; simply setting data into a global implicitly creates a new global structure. You can create a global (or a global subscript) and place data in it with a single operation, or you can create a global (or subscript) and leave it empty by setting it to the null string. In ObjectScript, these operations are done using the SET command.
The following examples define a global named Color (if one does not already exist) and associate the value "Red" with it. If a global already exists with the name Color, then these examples modify it to contain the new information.
In Caché Basic:
^Color = "Red"
In ObjectScript:
 SET ^Color = "Red"
Note:
When using direct global access within applications, develop and adhere to a naming convention to keep different parts of an application from "walking over" one another; this is similar to developing naming convention for classes, method, and other variables. Also, avoid certain global names that Caché uses; for a list of these, see the section Global Variable Names to Avoid in the "Rules and Guidelines for Identifiers" appendix of the Caché Programming Orientation Guide.
Storing Data in Global Nodes
To store a value within a global subscript node, simply set the value of the global node as you would any other variable array. If the specified node did not previously exist, it is created. If it did exist, its contents are replaced with the new value.
You specify a node within a global by means of an expression (referred to as a global reference). A global reference consists of the caret character (^), the global name, and (if needed) one or more subscript values. Subscripts (if present) are enclosed within parentheses "( )" and are separated by commas. Each subscript value is itself an expression: a literal value, a variable, a logical expression, or even a global reference.
Setting the value of a global node is an atomic operation: It is guaranteed to succeed and you do not need to use any locks to ensure concurrency.
The following are all valid global references:
In Caché Basic:
^Data = 2
^Data("Color") = "Red"
^Data(1,1) = 100
^Data(^Data) = 10 ' The value of ^Data is the subscript
^Data(a,b) = 50 ' The values of local variables a and b are subscripts
^Data(a + 10) = 50
In ObjectScript:
 SET ^Data = 2
 SET ^Data("Color")="Red"
 SET ^Data(1,1)=100 /* The 2nd-level subscript (1,1) is set
 to the value 100. No value is stored at
 the 1st-level subscript (^Data(1)). */
 SET ^Data(^Data)=10 /* The value of global variable ^Data
 is the name of the subscript. */
 SET ^Data(a,b)=50 /* The values of local variables a and b
 are the names of the subscripts. */
 SET ^Data(a+10)=50
If you are using ObjectScript, you can construct global references at runtime using indirection.
Storing Structured Data in Global Nodes
Each global node can contain a single string of up to 32K characters.
Data is typically stored within nodes in one of the following ways:
Deleting Global Nodes
To remove a global node, a group of subnodes, or an entire global from the database, use the ObjectScript KILL or ZKILL commands, or the Caché Basic Erase command.
The KILL command deletes all nodes (data as well as its corresponding entry in the array) at a specific global reference, including any descendant subnodes. That is, all nodes starting with the specified subscript are deleted.
For example, the ObjectScript statement:
 KILL ^Data
deletes the entire ^Data global. A subsequent reference to this global would return an <UNDEFINED> error.
The ObjectScript statement:
 KILL ^Data(100)
deletes contents of node 100 within the ^Data global. If there are descendant subnodes, such as ^Data(100,1), ^Data(100,2), and ^Data(100,1,2,3), these are deleted as well.
The ObjectScript ZKILL command deletes a specified global or global subscript node. It does not delete descendant subnodes.
Note:
Following the kill of a large global, the space once occupied by that global may not have been completely freed, since the blocks are marked free in the background by the Garbage Collector daemon. Thus, a call to the ReturnUnusedSpace method of the SYS.Database class immediately after killing a large global may not return as much space as expected, since blocks occupied by that global may not have been released as yet.
You cannot use the NEW command on global variables.
Testing the Existence of a Global Node
To test if a specific global (or its descendants) contains data, use the ObjectScript $DATA function.
$DATA returns a value indicating whether or not the specified global reference exists. The possible return values are:
Status Value Meaning
0 The global variable is undefined.
1 The global variable exists and contains data, but has no descendants. Note that the null string ("") qualifies as data.
10 The global variable has descendants (contains a downward pointer to a subnode) but does not itself contain data. Any direct reference to such a variable will result in an <UNDEFINED> error. For example, if $DATA(^y) returns 10, SET x=^y will produce an <UNDEFINED> error.
11 The global variable both contains data and has descendants (contains a downward pointer to a subnode).
Retrieving the Value of a Global Node
To get the value stored within a specific global node, simply use the global reference as an expression.
Using Caché Basic:
color = ^Data("Color") ' assign to a local variable
Print ^Data("Color") ' use as an argument to a command
MyMethod(^Data("Color")) ' use as a function argument
Using Caché ObjectScript:
 SET color = ^Data("Color") ; assign to a local variable
 WRITE ^Data("Color") ; use as a command argument
 SET x=$LENGTH(^Data("Color")) ; use as a function parameter
The $GET Function
Within ObjectScript, you can also get the value of a global node using the $GET function:
 SET mydata = $GET(^Data("Color"))
This retrieves the value of the specified node (if it exists) or returns the null string ("") if the node has no value. You can use the optional second argument of $GET to return a specified default value if the node has no value.
The WRITE, ZWRITE, and ZZDUMP Commands
You can display the contents of a global or a global subnode by using the various ObjectScript display commands. The WRITE command returns the value of the specified global or subnode as a string. The ZWRITE command returns the name of the global variable and its value, and each of its descendant nodes and their values. The ZZDUMP command returns the value of the specified global or subnode in hexadecimal dump format.
Traversing Data within a Global
There are a number of ways to traverse (iterate over) data stored within a global.
The $ORDER (Next / Previous) Function
The ObjectScript $ORDER function (and its Caché Basic equivalent: Traverse) allows you to sequentially visit each node within a global.
The $ORDER function returns the value of the next subscript at a given level (subscript number). For example, suppose you have defined the following global:
 Set ^Data(1) = ""
 Set ^Data(1,1) = ""
 Set ^Data(1,2) = ""
 Set ^Data(2) = ""
 Set ^Data(2,1) = ""
 Set ^Data(2,2) = ""
 Set ^Data(5,1,2) = ""
To find the first, first-level subscript, we can use:
 SET key = $ORDER(^Data(""))
This returns the first, first-level subscript following the null string (""). (The null string is used to represent the subscript value before the first entry; as a return value it is used to indicate that there are no following subscript values.) In this example, key will now contain the value 1.
We can find the next, first-level subscript by using 1 or key in the $ORDER expression:
 SET key = $ORDER(^Data(key))
If key has an initial value of 1, then this statement will set it to 2 (as ^Data(2) is the next first-level subscript). Executing this statement again will set key to 5 as that is the next first-level subscript. Note that 5 is returned

Double document shared word diagrams
Double Document Shared Word Diagrams compare and contrast two documents by showing both the unique and shared vocabulary and its distribution across the two documents of interest. The two columns of squares represent the two documents. The leftmost column of word circles shows the highest frequency non-trivial words found in document 1 but not document 2. The rightmost column of word circles shows those words unique to 2 and the central column shows the words that are common to both.You can also input your text and generate your own visualisation.


the definition as "pointwise supremum of affine functions". Let's look again at the definition:
A function {f:V\rightarrow {\mathbb R}} is convex and lsc if there is a subset {S} of {V^*\times {\mathbb R}} such that
\displaystyle f(x) = \sup_{(a,c)\in S} \langle a,x\rangle + c.
We abstract away the vector space structure and hence, also the duality, but keep the real-valuedness (together with its order) and define:
Definition 7 Let {X} be a set and let {W} be a set of real valued function on {X}. Then a function {f:X\rightarrow{\mathbb R}} is said to be {W}-convex if there is a subset {S} of {W\times {\mathbb R}} such that
\displaystyle f(x) = \sup_{(w,c)\in S} w(x) + c.
What we did in this definition was simply to replace continuous affine functions {x\mapsto \langle a,x\rangle} on a vector space by an arbitrary collection of real valued functions {x\mapsto w(x)} on a set. On sees immediately that for every function {w\in W} and any real number {c} the function {w+c} is {W} convex (similarly to the fact that every affine linear function is convex).
Another nice thing about this approach is, that it allows for some notion of duality/conjugation. For {f:V\rightarrow{\mathbb R}} we define the {W}-conjugate by
\displaystyle f^{W*}(w) = \sup_{w\in W} \Big(w(x)- f(x) \Big)
and we can even formulate a biconjugate
\displaystyle f^{W**}(x) = \sup_x \Big(w(x) - f^{W*}(w)\Big).
We naturally have a Fenchel inequality
\displaystyle w(x) \leq f(x) + f^{W*}(w)
and we may even define subgradients as usual. Note that a conventional subgradient is an element of the dual space which defines a tangent plane at the point where the subgradient is taken, that is, {a\in V^*} is a subgradient of {f} at {x}, if for all {y\in V} it holds that {f(y) \geq f(x) + \langle a,y-x\rangle} or
\displaystyle f(y) - \langle a,y\rangle\geq f(x) - \langle a,x\rangle.
A {W}-subgradient is an element of {W}, namely we define: {w\in\partial^{W}f(x)} if
\displaystyle \text{for all}\ y:\quad f(y) -w(y) \geq f(x) - w(x).
Then we also have a Fenchel equality:
\displaystyle w\in\partial^W f(x)\iff w(x) = f(x) + f^{W*}(w).
One may also take dualization as the starting point for an abstraction.
4. Abstract conjugation
We could formulate the {W}-conjugate as follows: For {\Phi(w,x) = w(x)} we have
\displaystyle f^{W*}(x) = \sup_w \Big(\Phi(w,x) - f(x)\Big).
This opens the door to another abstraction: For some sets {X,W} (without any additional structure) define a coupling function {\Phi: X\times W \rightarrow {\mathbb R}} and define the {\Phi}-conjugate as
\displaystyle f^{\Phi*}(w) = \sup_x \Big(\Phi(w,x) - f(x)\Big)
and the {\Phi}-biconjugate as
\displaystyle f^{\Phi**}(x) = \sup_x \Big(\Phi(w,x) - f^{W*}(w)\Big)
ISMP LogoISMP is over now and I'm already home. I do not have many things to report on from the last day. This is not due the lower quality of the talks but due to the fact that I was a little bit exhausted, as usual at the end of a five-day conference. However, I collect a few things for the record:
 - In the morning I visited the semi-planary by Xiaojun Chenon non-convex and non-smooth minimization with smoothing methods. Not surprisingly, she treated the problem
 \displaystyle \min_x f(x) + \|x\|_p^p
 with convex and smooth {f:{\mathbb R}^n\rightarrow{\mathbb R}} and {0<p<1}. She proposed and analyzed smoothing methods, that is, to smooth the problem a bit to obtain a Lipschitz-continuous objective function {\phi_\epsilon}, minimizing this and then gradually decreasing {\epsilon}. This works, as she showed. If I remember correctly, she also treated "iteratively reweighted least squares" as I described in my previous post. Unfortunately, she did not include the generalized forward-backward methods based on {\text{prox}}-functions for non-convex functions. Kristian and I pursued this approach in our paper Minimization of non-smooth, non-convex functionals by iterative thresholding and some special features of our analysis include:
 - A condition which excludes some (but not all) local minimizers from being global.
 - An algorithm which avoids this non-global minimizers by carefully adjusting the steplength of the method.
 - A result that the number of local minimizers is still finite, even if the problem is posed in {\ell^2({\mathbb N})} and not in {{\mathbb R}^n}.
 Most of our results hold true, if the {p}-quasi-norm is replaced by functions of the form
 \displaystyle \sum_n \phi_n(|x_n|)
 with special non-convex {\phi}, namely fulfilling a list of assumptions like
 - {\phi'(x) \rightarrow \infty} for {x\rightarrow 0} (infinite slope at {0}) and {\phi(x)\rightarrow\infty} for {x\rightarrow\infty} (mild coercivity),
 - {\phi'} strictly convex on {]0,\infty[} and {\phi'(x)/x\rightarrow 0} for {x\rightarrow\infty},
 - for each {b>0} there is {a>0} such that for {x<b} it holds that {\phi(x)>ax^2}, and
 - local integrability of some section of {\partial\phi'(x) x}.
 As one easily sees, {p}-quasi-norms fulfill the assumptions and some other interesting functions as well (e.g. some with very steep slope at {0} like {x\mapsto \log(x^{1/3}+1)}).
 - Jorge Nocedalgave a talk on second-order methods for non-smooth problems and his main example was a functional like
 \displaystyle \min_x f(x) + \|x\|_1
 with a convex and smooth {f}, but different from Xiaojun Chen, he only considered the {1}-norm. His talked is among the best planary talks I have ever attended and it was a great pleasure to listen to him. He carefully explained things and put them in perspective. In the case he skipped slides, he made me feel that I either did not miss an important thing, or understood them even though he didn't show them He argued that it is not necessarily more expensive to use second order information in contrast to first order methods. Indeed, the {1}-norm can be used to reduce the number of degrees of freedom for a second order step. What was pretty interesting is, that he advocated semismooth Newton methods for this problem. Roland and I pursued this approach some time ago in our paper A Semismooth Newton Method for Tikhonov Functionals with Sparsity Constraints and, if I remember correctly (my notes are not complete at this point), his family of methods included our ssn-method. The method Roland and I proposed worked amazingly well in the cases in which it converged but the method suffered from non-global convergence. We had some preliminary ideas for

VAT avoidance - groups of companies statement of practice on the new Schedule 9A VATA 1994: conditions for the issue of a direction under the new Schedule 9A: relevant event
A relevant event is defined (Schedule 9A, paragraph 1(2)) as occurring when a company joins or leaves a VAT group registration, or when it enters into any transaction. The word "transaction" is capable of being given a very wide meaning when considered in isolation, but the key to understanding how Customs will interpret this in the context of the provisions is that a relevant event occurs when a taxpayer enters into a transaction. Generally Customs will take this to mean when the taxpayer enters into a contract or other disposition, such as a gift.
Take a lease of a building. Each payment of rent could be regarded as a transaction in itself. However, the mere payment of rent would not be regarded as covered by the term "enters into any transaction" as used in the legislation.
Customs will regard the entering into of the lease by the landlord or tenant as a relevant event, which would (if the other conditions are met), potentially bring a company within the scope of the provisions. Other examples falling within the scope of the provisions are an agreement for a lease, an assignment, variation or surrender. The performance of obligations under the lease, (e.g. the carrying out of repairs or the payment of rent), would not normally be caught unless, exceptionally, such obligation constituted the entering into of a separate contract.

, you can do it like this :
 MyHandle := LoadLibrary('My_Extern_RESes.DLL');
 TButton1.Glyph.Handle := LoadBitmap(MyHandle,'My_Glyph');

Placing Glyphs, Bitmaps, String-const's etc. in DLL's can really reduce a projects EXE-size. (Tip came from David Konrad)
Basis rule: the more forms and units you add, the larger your exe becomes. When you had one huge form, you only had one form class - even when you had 500+ things on it ! This creates only one runtime type information for that class. Now, when you split this into 17 units, each class in that unit requires its own RTTI. Now, this runtime information can get large, collectively, with a lot of redundant information compared to when you only had one huge class. Also, if each of the 17 units had its own form, your end product must contain resource information for all 17 of those forms even though most of that information may be redundant. One reason why this happens is because the Delphi compiler doesn't optimize resources - but I don't know of any compiler that does. So, if you had two separate forms which are identical in look, you'll have 2 copies of the resource in your .EXE.
This leaves some work for the programmer to be creative in maximizing resource reuseability. (Tip came from Young Chung)

no problem, what other methods did you use, and where can I find petit.exe? I'm kind of in the same boat right now. I'm making a windows installer and a dos installer and putting them into one executable, so small executable size is must.

Great dyancer, I'm glad you finally made it.
What company is it you're developing for? In my oppinion there are lot's of things involving RTL languages that can be improved. Just lately for example I tried to write to a friend in Hebrew through Netscape, and we both saw the text inversed! It should be a really good idea to make an application like the one you've made.
BTW, how about the fonts? Are fonts included in it too? I saw some ideas of applications that don't use the standard fonts for text, instead they use their own images for building the text, which is of course almost the same as fonts except that it's not involving external files and installation. It's also easier if and creative...
Where are you within here by the way? I'm from Petach-Tiqa...

Thnx Matvey for your greetings...
Our programme is a mail Client, we are working now to build it as MAPI SERVER - "see my other question about mapi in this site",
this mail client work exactly as other mail clients (netscape mailer, eudora, pegasus and other) except for the nationalization idea, i mean you can send mail containg up to 30 deffrent languages AT THE SAME EMAIL...
also it include a virtual keyboard, it can spell check 9 languages and alot more...
about FONTS ... the user can choose to use any font installed in the system ( this should be carfully done, because the reciever person need to have these fonts installed also in his system) or to use our alternative build-in font so it is not a system dependent font.
(if u would like further information, please email me to _EMAIL_)

Hello,
I'm not sure I've read everything, but why has no one sugested you don't use
the VCL at all ? This is the best method for reducing the exe size.
But for sure it's a pain to develop app like that. You have to do all the coding
by yourself like in the ancient time. Do all the message handling by hand.
But it will drastically reduce the exec size (yes i read you made what you wanted)
It's just to add a comment.
To get an example you can take a look at Delphi Zip, v1.40
you can get a copy here : _URL_
In there you have the source code for a small program that is the
front end for an autodecompress zip file. With a small interface etc...
Very interesting to see what you can do without delphi ;)
But i can understand that if you hadd to do like that you won't be using delphi ;)

Vibraimage and Artificial Intelligence as Independent Branches of Cybernetics
The general principles and differences of vibraimage technology (VI) and artificial intelligence (AI) are analyzed. Shown that VI technology has significant differences from AI, and these technologies should be considered as independent areas of cybernetics. The non-use of AI in VI technology in the detection of behavior and recognition of emotions is substantiated by the absence of standard approaches to behavior and emotions now. Described the joint use of VI and AI for medical diagnostics. It is proposed to replace the thesis on the limitations of the use of AI for human research with general requirements for verifying the accuracy of psychophysiology technology, taking into account the probability of errors, sensitivity and specificity. Considered appropriate to limit the impact of ethical restrictions on the processing of biological and physical signals

Study finds farmers have done their bit to protect rare birds
Ecologists say farmers can bring back endangered bird species, when they protect remnant bush.
Professor David Lindenmeyer, of the Australian National University, has just published findings from a large 10-year field study.
He found that government stewardship payments have helped pay for farmers in eastern Australia to restore woodland biodiversity, and habitat for birds.
"(Species like) the flame robin, red capped robin, hooded robin, black chinned honeyeater, rufous whistler," he said.
"There's no doubt there's a risk of extinction for those species, but restoration activities on farms, and restoration activities, in particular regrowth, are very important for those species and many others."
The findings have just been published in the Public Library of Science, called PLoS ONE.
The Federal Government's stewardship payment was established as a pilot for to protect the south eastern grassy box woodlands. It was stopped in 2011, and it's believed the government will replace it with the Biodiversity Fund.

Capricorns are not usually found at Lake Lakira, but you are making your way there today to play with some hatchlings. Newborns are left here, because until their horns harden and grow, they can't defend themselves against some of the more dangerous sea creatures. When older, they will accompany their parents foraging or be left behind at home. For now, they'll eat the tufts of grass around the lake, what their parents bring back, or some of the treats you've brought for them. As you near the edge of the lake, a few capricorn hatchlings spot you and make their way over. Extracting a couple carrots from your satchel, you sit down and feed them, smiling at their enthusiasm. While you watch the little ones eat their treats, you absentmindedly scratch their heads, paying special attention to where their horns are coming in. Right now, there are bright colored nubs, but they are quickly growing. Soon these hatchlings will be able to join their parents foraging.
Long ago it was believed that for every animal on land, there was a similar one in the seas and oceans. While this notion is no longer a widespread belief, the oceans do yield creatures much like those found on land. A capricorn can seem like an ibex at first glance, but a second look assures you there are several obvious differences. A strong tail takes the place of hind legs, and these animals appear in many colors, much like hippocampi. Although capricorns can breathe above water for a few hours, they usually remain beneath the waves, surfacing only occasionally to feed. They do not travel in packs, but mate for life and are found in pairs and raise their young to adulthood. Their eggs are very well hidden and extremely difficult to obtain. Capricorns live far at the bottom of oceans, where they reside among the peaks of watery mountains. Their curved horns are all the protection they need against beasts foolish enough to challenge them.

Sunflower is collecting...
POP TABS for Ronald McDonald Houses
Collecting pop tabs helps Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) pay the bills so moms and dads need not worry about where to stay while their children are in the hospital. The program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and make a difference for families and children.
Why pop tabs?
Pop tabs are small, making them easy to collect and store. It's amazing how something so small can make a difference. Last year, friends of RMHC pulled pop tabs and raised thousands of dollars to help children and their families.
Why not the entire can?
Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygenic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. The pop tab is pure aluminum, but the can contains paint and other residue.
Pop tabs remind us of an important lesson: even little things make a big difference.
Where do I deposit the pop tabs?
Deposit collected pop tabs in the collection container outside the front office at Sunflower.
Fun Facts
Pop Tab Measurement Equivalents
1 inch = 1 pop tab
1 foot = 12 pop tabs
1 pound = 1,267 pop tabs

Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch 1012 Bolt On Large

Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch Bolt On by Prevue 11 in Large
Grooming perches are one of the more misunderstood bird cage accessories. Some veterinarians flat out tell their patients not to use them at all. Once you understand the proper use you'll see this is one texture of perch your cage should not be without.
- 100% Natural,Digestible, Ground Calcium with Real Sea Shells.
- Texture Helps to Groom Your Bird's Nails and Beak.
- Variable Shape Exercises Feet. A Healthy Alternative to Ordinary Perches.
- Veterinary Approved and Recommended.
We try to include what bird sizes match up to the accessory in the listing. Because there's hundreds of species of parrots and parakeets it's not always easy to make a precise recommendation. The diameter of the grooming perch should be large enough so the front toes do not meet the back toes. In this way the ends of the toenails are always sliding against a rough surface helping keep the nails and optimal length
Grooming perches come in a number of surfaces from literally sandpaper to ground calcium to concrete and other materials. They are designed to keep your birds nails and beak trimmed.
By no means should any sort of grooming perch be used to sleep on is this can irritate your birds feet and cause sores over time. Ironically we get complaints all the time from people whose birds feet had developed sores and inevitably when asked what kind of perch the birds slept on the answer is usually a grooming perch that was placed up high in the cage and was the birds main sleeping perch.
We suggest grooming perches be placed in one of two areas of the bird cage. Either install it inside the cage door where the bird can come down and rest on when the door opens. Because the bird is happy to get out of the cage they will do a brief happy dance which will aid in grooming their nails.
We feel the best place for the grooming perch is near the food bowls. Bird spend 10 to 15 min. a day they their food bowls in general. While they are eating their very active which means their feet are always moving on the perch with aids in grooming in the nails.
They will usually wipe their beak in the middle of the meal or at the end of the meal to remove food particulate off. If they're standing on a grooming perch when they like the the, grooming perch it will help them keep it trim and sharp. A bird's beak is its most important piece of anatomy and so a grooming perch while dining will prove to be very helpful in maintaining your birds overall health

Philippines, January 13, 2006
Going Where the Growth Is
Pioneer Hi-Bred Philippines (PHPI) recently participated in Asia's largest gathering of current and future ethanol producers and investors in Manila.
More than 200 delegates from Europe, the United States, and different countries in Asia including China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines attended the event.
The active involvement of Pioneer in supporting ethanol efforts is aligned with DuPont's goal of becoming a sustainable company by increasing the use of renewable resources, thereby reducing its environmental footprint.
Dr. Sammy Dalmacio, registration & regulatory science consultant, PHPI, presented the paper "Selection and Optimization of Corn Hybrids for Fuel Ethanol Production," written by senior research scientist Douglas Haefele.
The presentation was intended to increase interest in corn as a primary feedstock in ethanol production by helping participants understand how advanced hybrid corn technology can improve ethanol yield.
"As demand for biofuels improves, the availability of reliable and sustainable sources will become increasingly important. Corn, being one of the best sources of ethanol, will be in high demand. This could consequently trigger an expansion of the hybrid areas in the major corn locations," said PHPI Country Manager Jet Parma.

This paper proposes to put forward an innovative algorithm for symmetric key block cipher named as "Triple Prime Symmetric Key Block Cipher with Variable Key-Spaces (TPSKBCVK)" that employs triple prime integers as private key-spaces of varying lengths to encrypt data files. Principles of modular arithmetic have been elegantly used in the proposed idea of the cipher. Depending on observations of the results of implementation of the proposed cipher on a set of real data files of several types, all results are registered and analyzed. The strength of the underlying design of the cipher and the liberty of using a long key-space expectedly makes it reasonably non-susceptible against possible cryptanalytic intrusions.

Nanjing Ruidi composite energy water system manual
word download：Nanjing Ruidi composite energy water system manual
pdf download：Schematic diagram of the running water machine
Basic structure: The machine is mainly composed of hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, live water impeller, enzyme warehouse, solar power generation system and control system.
The basic principle: the working water impeller is driven by a hydraulic motor, and the treated sewage at the bottom of the impeller is gradually diffused to a distant place by the rotating wave of the impeller. This machine has strong wave-making ability. The diameter of the wave is more than 200m, which greatly improves the contact area between water and air. Through the aeration, air contact and algae photosynthesis, ultraviolet radiation, etc., the oxygen content of the whole water body is gradually increased to achieve the purpose of improving water quality. The machine also has excellent water lifting capacity. By extracting the bottom water from the bottom of the impeller to the surface of the water body, a good circulation of the water body is formed, which can improve bottom matrix of the water bottom and suppress the water pollution.
Scope of application: The water machine is suitable for the treatment of polluted water bodies such as rivers and lakes. The solar power generation device can be configured for sewage treatment under no electricity conditions.

📕 Core Model
Overview
Leaf has provided a very simple core model for use in your applications. This core model is powered by the Leaf ORM and so all it's features are available for use in Leaf.
This model provides a beautiful, simple ActiveRecord implementation for working with your database. Each database table has a corresponding "Model" which is used to interact with that table. Models allow you to query for data in your tables, as well as insert new records into the table.
Defining Models
To get started, let's create a simple model. If you are not using a Leaf framework like Leaf MVC or Leaf API, you can create directory to hold all your application models. All your models should extend Leaf\Model class.
Before getting started, be sure to configure a database connection with a .env file. You can take a look at this example env file.
Leaf Model Conventions
Now, let's look at an example Flight model, which we will use to retrieve and store information from our flights database table:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 //
}
Table Names
Note that we did not tell Leaf which table to use for our Flight model. By convention, the "snake case", plural name of the class will be used as the table name unless another name is explicitly specified. So, in this case, Leaf will assume the Flight model stores records in the flights table. You may specify a custom table by defining a table property on your model:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 /**
 * The table associated with the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
 protected $table = 'my_flights';
}
Primary Keys
Leaf will also assume that each table has a primary key column named id. You may define a protected $primaryKey property to override this convention:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 /**
 * The primary key associated with the table.
 *
 * @var string
 */
 protected $primaryKey = 'flight_id';
}
In addition, Leaf assumes that the primary key is an incrementing integer value, which means that by default the primary key will automatically be cast to an int. If you wish to use a non-incrementing or a non-numeric primary key you must set the public $incrementing property on your model to false:
/**
* Indicates if the IDs are auto-incrementing.
*
* @var bool
*/
public $incrementing = false;
If your primary key is not an integer, you should set the protected $keyType property on your model to string:
/**
* The "type" of the auto-incrementing ID.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $keyType = 'string';
Timestamps
By default, Leaf expects created_at and updated_at columns to exist on your tables. If you do not wish to have these columns automatically managed by Leaf, set the $timestamps property on your model to false:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 /**
 * Indicates if the model should be timestamped.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
 public $timestamps = false;
}
If you need to customize the format of your timestamps, set the $dateFormat property on your model. This property determines how date attributes are stored in the database, as well as their format when the model is serialized to an array or JSON:
/**
* The storage format of the model's date columns.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $dateFormat = 'U';
If you need to customize the names of the columns used to store the timestamps, you may set the CREATED_AT and UPDATED_AT constants in your model:
class Flight extends Model
{
 const CREATED_AT = 'creation_date';
 const UPDATED_AT = 'last_update';
}
Database Connection
By default, all Leaf models will use the default database connection configured for your application. If you would like to specify a different connection for the model, use the $connection property:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 /**
 * The connection name for the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
 protected $connection = 'connection-name';
}
Default Attribute Values
If you would like to define the default values for some of your model's attributes, you may define an $attributes property on your model:
<?php
use Leaf\Model;
class Flight extends Model
{
 /**
 * The model's default values for attributes.
 *
 * @var array
 */
 protected $attributes = [
 'delayed' => false,
 ];
}
Retrieving Models
Once you have created a model and its associated database table, you are ready to start retrieving data from your database. Think of each Leaf model as a powerful query builder allowing you to fluently query the database table associated with the model. For example:
<?php
$flights = Flight::all();
foreach ($flights as $flight) {
 echo $flight->name;
}
Adding Additional Constraints
The Leaf all method will return all of the results in the model's table. Since each Leaf model serves as a query builder, you may also add constraints to queries, and then use the get method to retrieve the results:
$flights = Flight::where('active', 1)->orderBy('name', 'desc')->take(10)->get();
You can check here for available queries on your models.
Refreshing Models
You can refresh models using the fresh and refresh methods. The fresh method will re-retrieve the model from the database. The existing model instance will not be affected:
$flight = Flight::where('number', 'FR 900')->first();
$freshFlight = $flight->fresh();
The refresh method will re-hydrate the existing model using fresh data from the database. In addition, all of its loaded relationships will be refreshed as well:
$flight = Flight::where('number', 'FR 900')->first();
$flight->number = 'FR 456';
$flight->refresh();
$flight->number; // "FR 900"
Inserting & Updating Models
Inserts
To create a new record in the database, create a new model instance, set attributes on the model, then call the save method:
<?php
// this is a controller file
// import model
require "Flight.php";
use Leaf\Controller;
class FlightController extends Controller
{
 public function store()
 {
 // Validate the request...
 $flight = new Flight;
 $flight->name = $this->request->name;
 $flight->save();
 }
}
In this example, we assign the name parameter from the incoming HTTP request to the name attribute of the Flight model instance. When we call the save method, a record will be inserted into the database. The created_at and updated_at timestamps will automatically be set when the save method is called, so there is no need to set them manually.
Updates
The save method may also be used to update models that already exist in the database. To update a model, you should retrieve it, set any attributes you wish to update, and then call the save method. Again, the updated_at timestamp will automatically be updated, so there is no need to manually set its value:
$flight = Flight::find(1);
$flight->name = 'New Flight Name';
$flight->save();
Since Leaf Models use Eloquent, you can read more here to view available methods on the Eloquent object.
Just remember, your models should extend Leaf\Model not Eloquent

The credibility of the AMSUS Sustaining Members (SM) section is dependent on the trust and confidence we earn from our members, parent organization, and customers. We gain credibility by adhering to our commitments, displaying honesty and integrity, and reaching goals solely through honorable conduct. It is the purpose of our Code of Ethics to provide a guide to proper business conduct for all corporate member representatives, hereby referred to as representatives. We expect all representatives to observe the highest standards of ethics and integrity in their conduct. This means following a basic code of ethical behavior that includes the following:
- The antitrust laws promote competition by prohibiting anti-competitive behavior. All representatives should take care not to disclose anything that is competitively sensitive or proprietary. If you feel the least bit uncomfortable with the contents of any aspect of any SM program, raise the issue immediately so that it can be fully discussed and resolved.
- Representatives shall maintain a high standard of ethical conduct and thus contribute to the integrity of the Association.
- Representatives shall at all times respect the rights and dignity of all individuals.
- Representatives have the responsibility for demonstrating, through their actions, clear and direct behavior consistent with this Code.
- Representatives shall maintain a commitment to integrity by complying with all laws, rules, and regulations when we do business.
- Representatives shall be dedicated to ethical, fair, and considerate behavior in all their dealings.
- Representatives shall avoid any activity that might impair, or appear to impair, the ability to make objective and fair decisions when conducting business.
- Since we deal with federal government customers, for whom special rules apply, business courtesies shall not violate any law or regulation or the standards of conduct of the recipient's organization.
- Representatives shall not improperly influence, manipulate, or knowingly mislead any customer, other member, or business partner of the association.
- Representatives shall protect all other members' right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted.
- Representatives shall treat colleagues with respect, fairness, and good faith, and advocate conditions of membership that safeguard the rights and welfare of all.
- Representatives shall provide the highest level of service to the AMSUS SM organization through accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to all requests.
- Representatives shall not advance private interests at the expense of the organization, colleagues, or customers.
Compliance with these principles is an essential element to maintaining the highest possible credibility for the organization. Any non-compliance should be reported directly the AMSUS SM Executive Council in writing for review.

- n. (noun) A woman whose hair is disheveled, and hanging about her face; a slattern.
- n. (noun) A hot-tempered, unjustifiably angry woman, usually stereotyped as a red-haired Irish woman (used largely by Anglo-Saxons by due cause of nationalistic and racial tensions).
'Blowsabella' may come from Blousalinda, 'the country girl in Gay's pastoral poem, The Shepherd's Week (1714).' 'Blowze' is slang for 'a ruddy, fat-faced wench; a blowzy woman.'
"By and by, indeed, a leisurely Blowsabella of a serving maid lays a coarse, clean cloth and some knives and forks in what she calls the bavilion, a homely arbor at the garden end; and thither the Professor at once repairs, and seating himself at his place before the empty table, lays his watch before him, and seems to derive a bitter solace from counting the numerous moments as they pass, and announcing them by five at a time aloud to Brooks."
"About half-past eleven, when the music was at its loudest, the mummers at the merriest, and queens, goddesses, nymphs, and heroines were all jumping all like Bowsabella of the Village Green; when from the alcoves near us men were bawling songs, whose words, happily, were lost to us, we rose to go, sorry to leave the scene of so much mirth, yet anxious not to witness the scenes of disorder which take place later."

As Canadian painter Jock Macdonald (1897–1960) began to experiment with abstraction in the 1930s, he created a series of paintings he called "modalities," something he defined as "thought idioms in nature" or "expressions of thought in relation to nature." Of these, Fall is the most monumental. Despite his decision to keep these experimental works secret—he had recently returned to Vancouver after over a year dedicated to painting and living off the land in Nootka Sound—Macdonald remained preoccupied with his search for a uniquely personal abstract expression in his work. Like many of the others from this period, Fall, one of several "modalities" representing the seasons, is strongly geometric, linear, and decorative in style and composition.
The central motif of the painting is a triangle that appears to aspire to the heavens. Its elongated peak seems to continue its upward ascent beyond the horizontal element of the frame. Abstract forms are disposed evenly across the surface. The only suggestions of representation are the curvilinear Art Deco designs of tree, leaf, and butterfly. The complicated colour harmony suggests autumnal richness. Calling on his experience as a textile designer, Macdonald succeeded in creating a stage in which every element is strongly tied to the surface of the canvas. In the pattern of the central striated area in the lower third of the canvas, however, the painting speaks to the infinite and timeless world—the fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensions—which Macdonald sought to capture in his art.
This Spotlight is excerpted from Jock Macdonald: Life & Work by Joyce Zemans.

Led by Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, vpnMentor's research team recently discovered a data breach belonging to the exercise technology company Kinomap. As a paid subscription service, Kinomap collects enormous amounts of data about its users, all of which was stored on an unsecured database. In total, the database was leaking over 42 million records, affecting people all over the world.
The researchers reached out to the company and presented the results of their investigation. While awaiting reply from Kinomap, they also contacted the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, France's independent data privacy regulator. While they never received a reply from Kinomap, the data breach was closed sometime around the 12th of April. They suspect this was due to an intervention by the CNIL.
The exposed database contained over 40GB of data, approximately 42,000,000 records. It also seemed to affect Kinomap's entire user base, as the data originated from countries across the globe, say the researchers, including the following:
- South Korea
Among the millions of data files exposed were numerous forms of Kinomap user Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data:
- Full names
- Home country
- Email addresses
- Usernames for Kinomap accounts
- Timestamps for exercises
- The date they joined Kinomap
Many of the entries, notes the blog, contained links to Kinomap user profiles and records of their account activity, which can reveal personal details about a user.
If a malicious hacker had discovered this database, they could easily combine the information contained within in numerous ways, creating highly effective and damaging fraud schemes and other forms of online attack, warn the researchers. Or, add the researchers, they could also potentially take over certain user accounts on Kinomap, using information contained within the database.

Keywords: parallel performance visualization, scientific visualization, visualization prototyping
A new design process for the development of parallel performance visualizations that uses existing scientific data visualization software is presented. Scientific visualization tools are designed to handle large quantities of multi-dimensional data and create complex, three-dimensional, customizable displays which incorporate advanced rendering techniques, animation, and display interaction. Using a design process that leverages these tools to prototype new performance visualizations can lead to drastic reductions in the graphics and data manipulation programming overhead currently experienced by performance visualization developers. The process evolves from a formal methodology that relates performance abstractions to visual representations. Under this formalism, it is possible to describe performance visualizations as mappings from performance objects to view objects, independent of any graphical programming. Implementing this formalism in an existing data visualization system leads to a visualization prototype design process consisting of two components corresponding to the two high-level abstractions of the formalism: a trace transformation (i.e., performance abstraction) and a graphical transformation (i.e., visual abstraction). The trace transformation changes raw trace data to a format readable by the visualization software, and the graphical transformation specifies the graphical characteristics of the visualization. This prototyping environment also facilitates iterative design and evaluation of new and existing displays. Our work examines how an existing data visualization tool, IBM's Data Explorer in particular, can provide a robust prototyping environment for next-generation parallel performance visualization.

The relaxation dynamics of polyisoprene (PI) and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) chains at the SiO2 interface were directly probed as a function of distance from the SiO2 surface using time-resolved evanescent wave-induced fluorescence anisotropy, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, and sum-frequency generation spectroscopy. We found the presence of the dynamics gradient of chains in the interfacial region with the SiO2 surface and tried to assign it to the two kinds of adsorbed chains, namely, loosely and strongly adsorbed, at the interface. The segmental relaxation of chains in the strongly adsorbed layer at the interface could be slower than that of bulk chains by more than 10 orders.

The title of the performance, Terrace Canon, was derived from the action of the 30 performers moving in canon with one anothermovement echoing and repeating from one group or pair of performers to the next. The choreography was inspired by the natural landscape of the forest adjacent to the Kyoto College of Art performance area. The motion of the trees and their firm rooting to the earth was the starting point in designing the movement for this work.Performers moved in small groups, duets and alone as the piece progressed. These spatial relationships and groups were always changing. The movement chosen was simple in nature, as the surrounding landscape was complex in visual information. Singular arm gestures, walking patterns, and the transfer of weight in partners and alone was the main focus of the choreography.
Costumes were designed and dyed in collaboration with Michie Yamaguchi, Associate Professor of Textiles at the Kyoto College of Art. As the performers weaved through the space, the abstract colors of the sky and the forest met and separated.

Ethical imagination and design.
Design Studies, 30(2)
(Click here to request a copy from the OU Author.
Using transcripts of both architectural and engineering design meetings this chapter shows how the fields of ethics and design inter-relate, especially in the area of creative imagination. The chapter first draws on the concept of a 'virtual building' to show how essential aspects of designerly thinking can apply to ethics. It then goes on to show how, in the process of designing, designers engage explicitly and implicitly with ethical issues. The chapter discusses four extended examples from two design processes – one involving the design of a crematorium the other involving the design of a digital pen – before suggesting that by addressing ethical subjects without framing them in explicitly ethical ways, the design process allows us to 'imaginatively trace out the implications of our metaphors, prototypes and narratives' a key element of ethical decision-making according to the philosopher Mark Johnson.

Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, professor at University College London (UCL), is honored with the prize "for outstanding contributions to interdisciplinary research on fundamental understanding of chemical syntheses, physical studies of plasmonic and magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical applications," RSC stated on its website.
Nanomaterials have shown some of their potential in biomedicine. This potentially increases when core materials have exceptional physical properties as well as stability and functionality in biological environments. This can be achieved by the synthesis of nanoparticles with novel optical, magnetic, electronic and catalytic properties in such a way that makes them compatible with biological environments and readily functionalized in a controlled manner.
Professor Thanh is excited by the idea that her research could directly improve the life expectancy of cancer patients, it said.
Thanh graduated from Vietnam National University, Hanoi with a major in chemistry in 1992.
She held a prestigious Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2005–2014) and was appointed Full Professor in Nanomaterials at University College London in 2013. Currently, she is vice dean for Innovation and Enterprise at UCL's faculty of mathematical and physical sciences.
In 2019, Thanh was honored for her achievements in the field of nanomaterials, and her project proposal was awarded the prestigious Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Medal.

Interdisciplinary Prize 2022 also honors two other scientists: Professor Michael George at the University of Nottingham for pioneering innovations in flow chemistry, reactor engineering and reaction monitoring for continuous chemical processing, and Professor GS Jason Micklefield at the University of Manchester for innovative research spanning organic chemistry to molecular genetics, leading to the discovery, characterization, and engineering of many novel enzymes.
Each winner receives 5,000 pounds ($6,284).
Interdisciplinary Prizes are awarded annually for work at the interface between chemistry and other disciplines.
The spirit of the prize is to recognize research involving both the broad and evolving subject of chemistry and another discipline.
Since 1986, more than 70 scientists have been honored with the prize.

In Greek every verb is a complete sentence. Its stem is the predicate, its ending the subject.
After Monro, in the sentence [face=SPIonic]e)s-ti[/face], the predicate [face=SPIonic]e)s[/face] means 'is', the subject [face=SPIonic]ti[/face] means 'it' (or 'he','she'). Similarly, in the sentence [face=SPIonic]h)/lqo-men[/face], the predicate [face=SPIonic]h)/lqo[/face] means 'came', the subject [face=SPIonic]men[/face] means 'we'.
He then notes that "..the Endings of a Verb may always be translated by Personal Pronouns..". Obviously, 'there' is not a personal pronoun, but it's not much of a stretch from 'it is' to 'there is'.

These animals do not have a head, and are pentamerically symmetrical about the axis of the mouth. Acanthaster planci have tubed feet, or branched tentacles arranged along each arm that function in gas exchange and food gathering (Schmid, 1998; Perrins and Middleton, 1985; Encyclopedia Britannica, 2000).

Single Field Indexes
MongoDB provides complete support for indexes on any field in a collection of documents. By default, all collections have an index on the _id field, and applications and users may add additional indexes to support important queries and operations.
This document describes ascending/descending indexes on a single field.
Diagram of an index on the ''score'' field (ascending).
Create an Ascending Index on a Single Field
Consider a collection named records that holds documents that resemble the following sample document:
{
 "_id": ObjectId("570c04a4ad233577f97dc459"),
 "score": 1034,
 "location": { state: "NY", city: "New York" }
}
The following operation creates an ascending index on the score field of the records collection:
db.records.createIndex( { score: 1 } )
The value of the field in the index specification describes the kind of index for that field. For example, a value of 1 specifies an index that orders items in ascending order. A value of -1 specifies an index that orders items in descending order. For additional index types, see index types.
The created index will support queries that select on the field score, such as the following:
db.records.find( { score: 2 } )
db.records.find( { score: { $gt: 10 } } )
Create an Index on an Embedded Field
You can create indexes on fields within embedded documents, just as you can index top-level fields in documents. Indexes on embedded fields differ from indexes on embedded documents, which include the full content up to the maximum index size of the embedded document in the index. Instead, indexes on embedded fields allow you to use a "dot notation," to introspect into embedded documents.
Consider a collection named records that holds documents that resemble the following sample document:
{
 "_id": ObjectId("570c04a4ad233577f97dc459"),
 "score": 1034,
 "location": { state: "NY", city: "New York" }
}
The following operation creates an index on the location.state field:
db.records.createIndex( { "location.state": 1 } )
The created index will support queries that select on the field location.state, such as the following:
db.records.find( { "location.state": "CA" } )
db.records.find( { "location.city": "Albany", "location.state": "NY" } )
Create an Index on Embedded Document
You can also create indexes on embedded document as a whole.
Consider a collection named records that holds documents that resemble the following sample document:
{
 "_id": ObjectId("570c04a4ad233577f97dc459"),
 "score": 1034,
 "location": { state: "NY", city: "New York" }
}
The location field is an embedded document, containing the embedded fields city and state. The following command creates an index on the location field as a whole:
db.records.createIndex( { location: 1 } )
The following query can use the index on the location field:
db.records.find( { location: { city: "New York", state: "NY" } } )
Note
Although the query can use the index, the result set does not include the sample document above. When performing equality matches on embedded documents, field order matters and the embedded documents must match exactly. See Query Embedded Documents for more information regarding querying on embedded documents.
Additional Considerations
If your collection holds a large amount of data, and your application needs to be able to access the data while building the index, consider building the index in the background, as described in Background Construction.
To build or rebuild indexes for a replica set, see Build Indexes on Replica Sets.
Some drivers may specify indexes, using NumberLong(1) rather than 1 as the specification. This does not have any affect on the resulting index.

An original fill-me-in activity book: can you save the citizens of Doodlesville from a dinosaur invasion? Playful drawings and simple prompts invite creators of all ages to colour, draw and imagine.
Doodlesville needs your help!
Part graphic novel, part doodle/sticker book, this is an unusual, fascinating and engrossing book which will really fire children's imagination. It is a fill-me-in activity book which allows the reader to take control of the story: can you save the citizens of Doodlesville from a dinosaur invasion? Playful drawings and simple prompts invite creators of all ages to colour, draw and imagine - and there are stickers to embellish the story as well. The spiral bound format makes the book easy to use and the text is full of inspiration, with plenty of prompts and suggestions. If you have a child who finds creative writing challenging (and especially if they like dinoaurs!) then I highly recommend this book - it will really stimulate them. -- Sarah Brew Parents in TOuch

Council reviewed the current village snow removal policy during their regular council meeting on Mon. Nov. 26.
They were asked to add what should be considered high priority areas or roadways public works should focus on first.
The policy establishes a consistent, cost-effective standard of practice for clearing roads of snow and ice for safe travel within the village.
The Statement explains that the village is expected to clear designated roads as quickly as possible after a large snowfall or because of snow that has drifted in that may cause traffic issues.
The Fire Hall and Maintenance Shop along with Mainstreet, 51st Avenue, 47th Avenue and Railway Avenue remain first priority.
The local outdoor rink, back alleys, residential roads including school access is ranked as a second priority.
Although the rink is a secondary priority, administration felt their time could be better spent by having the public volunteer to remove snow if they desire.
If it remains a priority, the village will have to pay men overtime during the weekends to remove the snow even if not as many children are using it.
Currently, the rink is typically done on the third day after a significant storm.
There was talk amongst council to contract work out to avoid overtime wages but when they looked at the math, it was far too expensive.
Instead, residents will have permission to shovel or snow blow the area themselves.
Another item was the walking trails which are regularly used by children travelling to school.
This will no longer be an issue as public works now have their new tractor with special attachments to whisk away snow from pathways.
The sidewalks were added as a second priority.
Clive Public Library Budget approved
Council approved the Clive Public Library 2019 Operating Budget.
Although the library does run on a $30,000 deficit each year, this year will be different as $27,000 in surplus will foot the bill.
"I like the workshops that are going fast," said Coun. Susan Russell.
The projected capital expenditures include exciting new renovations to the building like an awning, snow removal, heat tape, furniture and equipment for approximately $27,000.
Council moved the 2019 budget as presented.
