All tasks inherit the monitoring settings from the device under which they were created. The device defines the monitoring settings, such as: Frequency, monitoring Agent list, Reporting options, Alerting options, and other settings that are specific to different Platforms.
Here are few ways you can create or edit several tasks at once:
- For the ServerView platform the easiest way to set up a few closely related HTTP(S) tasks is to record them using the EveryStep Scripting Tool.
- For UserView platform, as each UserView device contains only script, the best way to modify a complex monitoring script is to load it directly into the EveryStep Scripting Tool using the "Load Device" option:
- For all monitoring platforms, if you need to modify several tasks, it is safest to clone an existing device and then make the necessary changes:

The popcorn, or trinity stitch as it is called in the United States, is also known as the bramble or blackberry stitch in England, and the spider stitch in Italy. No matter what name you give to this stitch, this slightly raised pattern adds texture to a piece. This particular pattern includes both knit and purl stitches and allows the piece to remain soft and flexible while increasing the visual appeal.
Knit this pattern for any number of stitches that is a multiple of four. Practice with some worsted weight yarn and a larger set of needles before beginning a project that requires you to use the popcorn stitch.
Purl the first row. This will be the right side of the piece. Second row: knit one, purl one, knit one into the next stitch, purl three together; repeat from. Purl the third row. Fourth row: purl three together, knit one, purl one, knit one into the next stitch; repeat from.
Begin your project once you are comfortable with the stitch. Ensure that your tension is even and the "bumps" are nearly identical in size.

What is the strongest geometric shape when it comes to bridges?
Now you are getting into the kind of specificity that is
necessary. Woods greatest strength is against compression along the growth
axis. The way trees grow is the best evidence for this fact. So the
strongest figure out of wood would be one which carries most of the load as
compression and not bending of the members and is stable. Anything built out
of triangles would be able to transfer a force in almost direction into forces
along the sides without collapsing the figure. Some other kind of material
might indicate a different kind of figure.

Consuming an ASP.NET Web Service from Salesforce Apex Callouts
Salesforces wsdl2apex can be a bit basic in what is supports (see Supported WSDL Features).
Steps for consuming an ASP.NET web service from Apex.
 1. Add the Web service host to the Remote Sites.
 Adminitraction Setup > Security Controls > Remote Site Settings
 Skipping this step will result in a "System.CalloutException: IO Exception: Unauthorized endpoint, please check Setup->Security->Remote site settings. endpoint ="...
 2. Export the WSDL from the ASP.NET web service
 3. Optionally, you might like to sort the WSDL. The idea is to ensure wsdl2apex produces the same elements in the same order for future code comparisons.
 4. Import the WSDL into Salesforce
 Develop > Apex Classes > Generate from WSDL*
 5. Define a Apex class name
 6. Test the new Apex class using Execute Anonymous in Eclipse. With a ASP.NET generated web service I found the class I defined in the previous step had a nested class corresponding to the binding name from the uploaded WSDL. The nested class had a method that corresponded to the web method (the operation in the WSDL).
 7. Optionally, search the generated class for calls to WebServiceCallout.invoke(...). This will currently cause test cases to abort silently (except for a log message) and you may not notice. Sprinkle the code with a liberal amount of Test.isRunningTest().
*Common WSDL parsing errors:
 1. If the Parse WSDL button produces Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Found more than one wsdl:binding. WSDL with multiple binding not supported Deleting the second element what contains soap12 elements and the corresponding port definition under .
 2. wsdl:import
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unknown element: import
 Locate the import elements in the current WSDL. E.g.. Pull that WSDL down and merge its contents into the parent WSDL.
 3. xsd:import
 Failed to parse wsdl: Found schema import from location External schema import not supported
 These will typically appear under . Copy the contents of the import under and remove the . See also: Discussion Forum: Referencing external schemas in a WSDL
 4. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Failed to parse WSDL: Unable to find binding {}BasicHttpBinding_IWebService. Found BasicHttpBinding_IWebService instead.
 The had the attribute xmlns:i0="". i0: was being used as the namespace for the binding. Switching it to tns: resolved the issue.
 5. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: schema:targetNamespace can not be null
 In this case I needed to add a targetNamespace attribute and value to the element. E.g. becomes
 6. Apex Generation Failed:
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOfstring
 Unable to find schema for element; {}ArrayOflong
 In this case I'd initially made a mistake when pulling in the xsd for these complex types. I corrected it by putting the complex type definitions within a element in wsdl:type section.
 7. Error: wwwExampleComApi
 Error: Identifier name is reserved: long at 191:23
 This error was caused by the ArrayOflong type generating the following Apex:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long;
 private String[] long_type_info = new String[]{'long','','long','0','-1','false'};
 private String[] apex_schema_type_info = new String[]{'','false','false'};
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long'};
 Possible fix:
 public class ArrayOflong {
 public Long[] long_x; // Note the _x suffix to avoid the conflict
 // The first parameter here is what will appear in the SOAP message as the element name
 private String[] field_order_type_info = new String[]{'long_x'};
 8. Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unsupported Schema element found At: 1866:57
 The WSDL had three "attribute" elements:
 -
 -
 -
 Commenting these out of the WSDL allowed into to be used with wsdl2apex. I'm not sure what adverse effects resulted from removing them.
 9. The use of in a complex type won't result in the base class fields appearing in generated Apex class.
 Try copying the fields from Apex class that was being extended into the sub class.

 how can i solve this problem
 2. Hello Daniel,
 I am getting the following error, let me know if you have any solution for this
 Error: Failed to parse wsdl: Unable to find schema for element; {}schema
 Thanks in advance!!
 1. Hi Arish,
 Most likely your WSDL contains a "schema" element. Have a look at the Supported WSDL Features of WSDL2Apex.
 3. Thanks for the post. Helped a lot in generating my first apex class from.net wsdl file. I have a query.
 Along with the wsdl file, I have been provided with a dll(Miscrosoft.ServiceBus.dll) file which has some bindings to be used. I haven't used this to generate the code. When I try to get the output, I get the following error:
 Cannot send message because the service endpoint hosted at the specified address uses a binding that cannot be accessed over HTTP.
 So, how do I use this dll file and bind it to the WSDL file to generate the apex class? The binding need to be included in the generated class also.
 Please let me know.
 1. Hi "Man"ish,
 You won't be able to utilise a.NET DLL directly in Salesforce apex.
 If I had to guess from the error message you will probably need to use https rather than http.
 Try changing the endpoint_x in the wsdl2apex generated class.
 Failing that, see if you can get a sample SOAP message from a valid call to the web service and compare that to what Salesforce is generating.
 4. Hi,
 I am getting this error. Can someone tell why is this happening and how to fix this?
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unsupported WSDL. Found more than one part for message setCurrentScopeById
 1. Have a look at The WSDL most likely contains multi-part messages. You may be able to manually manipulate the WSDL to still import it with wsdl2apex.
 5. hey..
 i am getting an error
 Apex Generation Failed
 Unable to find schema for element; {}double
 so cud u plz give ant solution..
 although i have gone thru ol the supported wsdl constructs..yet not able to import even a single external wsdl file...
 here is my document plz have a look
 1. It's hard to day without seeing the schema. The schema link you provided is for a binary download, which I'm not game to try because of the potential security risk. would be a good place to post the question and the problem schema details.
 6. Nice post. what will you advice for a requirement implemented using 'Outbound Messages' which ensures of retrying and delivering the message.
 However how to handle and show the error on SF GUI thats sent by external system, due to some data error (as data is not saved in external system), As this failure is data error, outbound monitor message shall not retry to send.Any advice will help.
 1. When you are processing the outbound message you can get the Salesforce Session ID and ServerURL. You can use these to write data back to Salesforce. This could include any problem records that need manual follow up.

The legend says that the healing water was found by the castle's hunters. When they were hunting in the districts of Košnica and Dobrina, one of them felt sick and he was dragged along the snow towards the road to Dobrina, from where he would be taken by horses to Žusemje Castle. Amongst a large area of snow, they saw a patch of land and water which was not frozen. The sick person was given that water to drink and soon he got well.
Many other stories about the miraculous healing of people who drank that water originated later. After those legends, which represent the oldest data on the healing powers of the water in Dobrina, the name DOBRINA CASTLE SPRING originated.
The settlement of Dobrina is an excellent starting point for a walk to nearby Žusem located on the 669 m high rise where two churches stand, the first one is the Parish Church of St. Valentine, however, the second one is the 700 year old established Church of St. Jacob, which has valuable preserved frescoes from the 15th and 16th century and chandeliers made of local glass. In the nearby small village of Tinje, the archaeological finds Tinje and the remains of the sunken Žamerk Castle are located. Here, objects from the late Antique and Early Slavic period were found. In Javoršica the partisan hospital is still preserved. You can get additional information at Društvo Izviri (Springs Association).

From telescopes to the Erie Canal, to planes, trains and automobiles, technological innovations have long been incorporated into wallpaper designs. With cast iron reaching new aesthetic and structural heights in architecture beginning in the 1850s, it made sense to capture its more decorative aspect in a wallpaper design. This paper highlights views of New York City architectural landmarks including Trinity Church, Federal Hall, Exchange Place, Grace Church, and Castle Garden, with each view enclosed within a decorative cast iron framework. Flowering vines are entwined around the support columns. A narrow border fragment is still attached at the top edge with the border colors matching those found in the sidewall paper. The format of this design is quite typical for the period but the normal framing elements of scrolling foliage and wood moldings have here been replaced with decorative cast iron. While the maker of this paper is unknown it is appropriate that the cast iron design incorporates New York City landmarks as there were numerous cast iron foundries in New York City. The SoHo (South of Houston) district of New York City contains possibly the largest collection of cast iron architecture in the world.
With origins dating back to ancient China, cast iron was not a new material at this time but there was a boom in its use for architecture. Refinements in its production allowed the material to be used as a structural element in large building projects beginning in the late eighteenth century, while its cheapness and availability in the 1850s led to its increased use in architecture. Support columns made of cast iron were more slender than those of masonry supporting a similar weight, which created more usable interior space, and also allowed for larger, more decorative windows when used on the exterior.

GINGER is an excellent motion sickness remedy for parrots that travel. A few slices of fresh ginger in the carrier can prevent regurgitation during car trips or airline flights in parrots prone to motion sickness.
HERB FLOWERS or the tiny flowering blooms of the following spices are edible and beneficial to the health of parrots: anise, basil, bee balm, chives, coriander (cilantro), dill, fennel, garlic, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme.
MILK THISTLE seeds contain silymarin, a flavonoid that is effective against liver disorders. Seeds are the most natural form of silymarin, but an alcohol-free extract can be used for specific treatments.
ROSE HIPS are a natural blood purifier and infection fighter. Although parrots manufacture their own vitamin C, the fruit of the rose benefits the immune system. There are many other flowers that can be given to parrots for specific treatment purposes and for enjoyment.As new parrot owners attempt to learn all the right things to do for their feathered companions, they sometimes are perplexed to discover that even the experts cannot agree on all aspects of bird care. By observing Mother Nature, much knowledge can be gained to provide optimal care and promote avian health and happiness.

Consider the Kovsh
These ornamental ladles are kovshi (singular: kovsh), a type of Russian drinking vessel in the shape of a duck. Traditionally, various vessels were intended for different beverages. Kovshi, which come in a range of sizes, were intended for drinking kvass or beer. They were also used for drinking mead, a honey based drink that varied in flavor from using different fruits and berries. Silver kovshi were used for white mead, while golden kovshi were used for red mead.
They were originally made of wood and some early kovshi were made of tightly woven cloth. In the 16th century, they began to be made in silver and increasingly assumed a ceremonial status. The kovshi in our collection are nineteenth and early twentieth century pieces of the Old Russian style, seen in the multicolored enameling inspired by sixteenth and seventeenth-century patterns. A yearning for a Russian art unmarred by Western influence contributed to what became the Russian Revival in the 1870s and 1880s. Interest in exploring early Russian artistic traditions provided craftsmen with a rich body of sources for creating beautiful, distinctly Russian works of art. Cloisonné enameling is but one example; another is trompe l'oeil, discussed in this blog post. While many such pieces were ornamental, a few could function as punch bowls or salts depending on their size.
These pieces illustrate how time and again the functional and artistic merits of the decorative arts can be appreciated both independently and harmoniously.

How do I have vim and a console in the same window? For example, I am splitting up the vim window into multiple windows (vertically or horizontally). What I want is to have the code window on the left side, and the interpreter or console or whatever on the right side, so I can easily switch between them. How does that work? Is there something there for this?

You probably are looking for GNU Screen.

This is the most powerful of them all, as you can do n-way splits of any console application in both horizontal and vertical panes. – Mies Nov 21 '09 at 0:43
Oh yeah, for a vertical split, press Ctrl+a |. It follows the same behavior at horizontal splits. – Mies Nov 21 '09 at 0:45
Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted. – hyperboreean Nov 21 '09 at 1:50
Is there a way to actually tell to screen to resize it 70-30 or 60-40%? – hyperboreean Nov 21 '09 at 1:54
You can press Ctrl+a, then :, then type resize N or resize +N where N is the number of lines you want the height to be or +N is the number of lines you want to add to the current height (or -N to decrease). – Dennis Williamson Nov 21 '09 at 3:07
Don't forget the vim quickfix commands for the edit-compile cycle (see :help quickfix and :help make).
Maybe it's a radical suggestion but consider using a tiling window manager. In the following screenshot you can see vim in the left column, with the quickfix window opened, and on the right an xterm used to launch and test the application. The window manager used is called wmii.

You can use the VIM-Shell patch. This way, you don't have to remember to create a screen session for Vim before editing.
share|improve this answer
Instead you just have to remember to patch Vim... – womble Nov 21 '09 at 0:47
Yes, but one usually edit files more often than compiling Vim. – Mikael S Nov 21 '09 at 1:10
Or just reflexively run everything in screen -- it's how I work now. If I'm not in a screen session, it is highly unusual. – David Mackintosh Nov 21 '09 at 1:29
If you don't use vim-specific features (but rather use only vi-compatible commands), you might try vile, a vi clone with intelligent multiple buffer handling, more similar to emacs.
This also has the advantage of allowing you to use your editor inside a screen session without removing your use of any other screen windows.
share|improve this answer
You could try the Conque Shell plugin. Haven't tried this yet myself but it's got a high (1:3) rating-to-download ratio, and claims to do just what you want. The actual rating is pretty decent, especially since it's only been around since 2009-09, and only hit version 1.0 in February. The advantage of using this over the VIM-Shell patch is that you don't have to patch vim; you just install the plugin in your ~/.vim directory.
share|improve this answer
You may also be interested in trying the Dynamic Virtual Terminal Manager. It does something similar to the screen features highlighted in a previous answer, but is in my opinion easier to work with. Here are some of the default keybindings:
Ctrl+G C Create a new shell window
Ctrl+G X Close focused window
Ctrl+G J Focus next window
Ctrl+G K Focus previous window
Ctrl+G G Organize windows in a grid layout
Ctrl+G T Organize windows in a vertical stack tiling layout
Ctrl+G B Organize windows in a horisontal stack tiling layout
Ctrl+G M Maximize current window (display one window at the time)
Ctrl+G. Minimize current window (show only window title)
DVTM also supports mouse integration; simply click on a terminal window in order to select it. Screenshots are available at the website linked above.

A domain name can be succeeded and transferred to the legal successor.
- In the process of domain name succession a registrar must make the domain name transfer to new registrant;
- In this case the consent of the old owner is replaced by a succession document;
- A succession document must be a notarised authorised document in which the notary has officially confirmed the identity of the legal successors;
- Neither a marriage certificate, death certificate nor will would constitute such a document
- How long a domain can be succeeded? According to the domain regulation the deletion of the domain name is only possible after the 6 months have elapsed from the death. In this case EIF will send to the contacts (e-mail) of the domain a notice and make a proposal for submitting the documentation within 30 days. After 30 days the domain will be deleted. So it means that if the legal successors have the right to use aforementioned e-mail, they will get the notice.
- If a technical notation of prohibition restricts the transfer, the domain name cannot be succeeded to a new owner.


IELTS Cue Card Sample 132 - Describe a course you would like to take if you have time
Describe a course you would like to take if you have time.
You should say:
 - what kind of course it is
 - where you would do this course
 - how you would take this course
and explain how you would benefit from taking this course.
Model Answer:
If I get time I would like to learn the computer graphics designing course. It is a combination of learning some theoretical aspect of graphics designing and then hands on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. These two are widely used image editing and graphics designing tools that emphasising on computer design and website designing.
I would like to get admitted in (...say an institution name...) who offers a professional course on graphics designing. They have a good reputation of teaching the course participants accurately and effectively. Since I have offices/ classes till the evening, I would like to enrol in the evening course that starts after 7.00 pm. The course fee is reasonable and I would have the option to pay the fees in 3-4 installments and that would be very convenient for me.
This should not be a very difficult course for me as I already have some background on computing and graphics designing. But I will have to concentrate on the course and maintain the regularity. This course would be a 6 months course and that's why I will have to adjust my time during this 6 months period. Another thing that required a course participant is to practice a lot. Since this is a creative task and the course teacher would show us how to do something, the course takers have to work hard to improve their skills and creativity.
This course would be helpful for me to do better in my career. Graphics design is required for many jobs and knowing it would be a great advantage for me. Besides, If I can become a prominent graphics designer, I would be able to work for clients from different countries as a freelancer beside my day job.

Sunlight hits the tracks.
Why does hot weather cause severe rail disruption?
Sunlight hits the tracks.
Soaring temperatures in the UK in July led to rail operators putting in place speed restrictions due to the risk of tracks buckling.
When do tracks buckle?
How does Network Rail prevent buckling?
Where a stretch of track is composed of short rail sections bolted together, gaps are left to allow for expansion.
Does this happen in other countries?
Network Rail said other nations choose a higher stress temperature limit for their tracks, depending on the climate.
Countries with extreme weather conditions adjust their tracks between summer and winter, the company said.
This can include inserting concrete slabs which can better contain track forces than sleepers and ballast.
Network Rail's website said that the "variations in short-term weather and long-term climate" in Britain mean "it is neither practical nor cost-effective" to implement such measures permanently.
It said solid concrete slab tracks costs about four times as much to install as standard ballasted track.
The company also said that stress-proofing Britain's rail track to the levels of hot countries would also create "the risk of increased tension on the rails in the winter".

Vocational education and training in Romania
Short description
This short description contributes to better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Romania by providing an insight into its main features and highlighting system developments and current challenges.
Romanian VET offers diverse paths for learners. It comprises professional and technological programmes, regularly updated to combat low participation in lifelong learning and early leaving from education and training.
As many EU countries, Romania has an ageing population. This has an impact on VET, with an 8.5% decrease in the number of VET upper secondary schools since 2012/13. Efforts are being made to increase student participation, enable access to VET, and improve its quality and its relevance to the labour market. Recent system developments include the introduction of a dual VET form: it complements the work-based learning tradition in school-based programmes and aims at making VET a more attractive option for learners, while adapting training better to employer needs.

What Kenyan ghost-writers can teach us about prejudice in the digital gig economy
Written by Susan Njambi-Szlapka
Hero image description: Young men working on laptops. Image credit:Matt Biddulph Image license:CC BY-SA 2.0
Would you trust a Kenyan to write your Bachelor's or Master's thesis? Recent research finds that Kenyan nationals are not trusted by American students to do so, forcing academic ghost-writers to hide their identity to win work.
Besides obvious ethical issues, this raises wider questions about the online gig economy including exploitation, trust and discrimination, including how we talk about equality in digital labour.
Coronavirus has also fuelled a sharp decline in demand for and an increase in supply of online workers. Online "place-based" platforms that require physical on-site delivery such as Deliveroo or GetBoda are seeing an increase in demand. But online gig workers on platforms like UpWork are facing more competition for fewer jobs as clients curb non-essential spending and more people seek digital sources of income. These same platforms are even asking online workers to pay in order to bid for work.
Under these circumstances it is crucial to understand how online gig workers in developing countries, who often have no access to any form of social protection, compete in the online gig economy to earn their livelihoods while identifying ways to combat the discrimination many experience.
One account, many identities: the online gig economy labour market
There are 6 million people in developing countries participating in online labour according to the Online Labour Index, while 60 to 70% of all online gig workers in Kenya are ghost-writers. However, this wrongly assumes accounts on gig economy platforms like UpWork have just one user per account.
Instead, accounts with good reviews are often shared between ghost-writers and traded on the black market, making ghost-writers key contributors to this underreporting. Owners of such accounts employ others to do the actual work, while using VPN's (Virtual Private Networks) to hide user's locations, making many ghost-writers in Kenya and elsewhere invisible.
Therefore, the real number of online workers is estimated to be up to 8 times higher. So why is this behaviour so widespread?
The false promise of digital globalisation
In the flat-world narrative of globalisation, online work is based on merit and value for money, as technology levels the playing field between workers in the Global North and South by removing the impediment of geography. This apparently allows workers in the Global South, as long as they have internet access and possess the right skills, to outcompete their northern counterparts by underbidding for online work generated in a small number of rich countries in the Global North.
However, recent studies find that prejudice around geography and identity are still key drivers in who wins work and under what conditions. Young ghost-writers in Nairobi even report that advertised jobs sometimes go as far as saying that people from certain countries should not even "bother bidding".
Reputation is everything, but it is more costly for Global South workers
Cognitive shortcuts have been well-established in hiring practices on the platform Nubelo. Clients assume workers from lower income countries will provide less valuable work and therefore pay them disproportionately little or don't hire them at all. In the absence of organisational affiliation, workers from developing countries are perceived as representatives of a nationality, rather than individuals with different experiences, credentials and personalities.
The exception is where a worker has a good reputation.
The reputation of an online worker, captured through ratings by previous clients, is key for their competitiveness and is much more costly for those in lower-income countries when it impacts their likelihood of employment.
However, if a client has a good experience with someone from a developing country, they are more likely to hire other workers from that same country. Therefore, while in the short-term hiding identity and location helps, it could inhibit worker's future long-term ability to find work.
Four ways we can mitigate online discrimination
 1. Online platforms can learn from analogue labour market measures to enable merit-based hiring practices (including for instance anonymised CVs).
 2. More rigorous research could help us understand what is exacerbating discriminatory hiring practices including language barriers, sense of shared values and expectations around education systems.
 3. Increasing fairness through algorithms could include prioritising displaying information relevant to a person's qualifications or credentials, rather than their location (this could even go further and place people from certain regions at the top of search results). Nubelo has already used this to help newcomers compete against established online workers.
 4. Finally, increasing awareness among clients hiring online workers could also help address these biases.
How we navigate the world of online work
There is still a global division of labour determining what type of jobs online workers in the Global South are entrusted with and those they are presumed unqualified for. This division, based on prejudice, will likely reinforce old power structures where repetitive or less complex tasks are left to the Global South, while complex and better paying tasks remain in the Global North. However, as the former become automated, this could leave workers in low-income countries vulnerable.
If demand for online workers is diminishing in the wake of Covid-19, the situation in developing countries will only worsen. Governments, donors and online platforms in the north and south will need to devise ways to overcome these issues of discrimination, while also supporting online gig workers both now and post-Covid.


High House to Stafford Castle Doorstep Walk

Dog with Oronasal Fistula Repair
An oronasal fistula is an opening between the oral and nasal cavities that most commonly results from the extraction of a diseased upper canine tooth. The canine teeth are the long sharp teeth found at the anterior corners of the mouth on either side of the front incisor teeth. In this image you can see that the dental probe demonstrates a deep pocket of infection around the base of this canine tooth. It needs to be extracted. In some dogs with infected canine teeth the infection is so bad that it destroys the bone at the base of the tooth and once the tooth is extracted it leaves a hole or fistula between the oral and nasal cavities (an oronasal fistula). To prevent infection this needs to be covered up with a gingival flap. (see dental case August 2008)
Sometimes the gingival flap does not 'take' properly leaving a small oronasal fistula even after healing is completed as is seen in this image. In this case a new flap is required. Why is this important? -so that food material does not get trapped in this opening that would lead to both a local gum infection and a nasal infection leading to a runny nose.
In image 1, Dr. Fisher is using a scalpel blade to freshen the edges around the fistula and to create a new flap. Next a Freer elevator is used to raise the flap away from underlying bone (image 2).
Next, the fistula space is filled with Consil®, a synthetic bone graft particulate that encourages new bone formation.
Consil application is followed by suturing of the gum (gingival) flap to the surrounding gum tissue in order to cover the fistula.
The finished product! All sutures have been placed and the oronasal fistula is covered. This flap of gum tissue adhered well this time and healing was complete, thus preventing a possible source of chronic infection in the mouth and nasal passage.

Analysis of Poems:The Rose That Grew From Concrete and And Tomorrow by Tupac Shakur
Page 1 of 2
Tupac Shakur wrote both these poems and the poems are about having ambitions and goals and reaching them despite the circumstances. There is also a theme of keeping hope in both the poems.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete is not really about a rose that grew from the concrete. The rose symbolizes a man and the concrete symbolizes the ghetto. A rose would never grow from concrete and by this he is meaning to say that it is really hard to survive the hard life of the ghetto and make something out of yourself. The second line means that the person has made something out of himself. "nature's law" means that no one expected the man to survive and the 'law' was that no one could survive the ghetto and do something with their lives and so the man has proved this law wrong. "it learned without having feet", this part means that he had no help and he made it all by himself. The third line means that because the man kept his dreams and was confident in his own abilities he was able to reach his goal. "fresh air" represents some where away from the ghetto where he is well-off and he is not in constant trouble and somewhere where he does not have a lot of problems. The last line he is praising the 'rose' because it made it through the hard time when there was no one to help it and no one cared about it.
And Tomorrow is a poem about hope. Tupac talks about how Tthe world is today but tomorrow there is still hope for a better future. The second line of the poem, says that people no longer want to take any chances and they no longer think independently because they are afraid of becoming different and getting thrown out of society. The next two lines are about how poor humanity is and how much tragedies there are in the world and no one is facing them and trying to find a solution to them. He goes on to say how children are being brought up, with "ruthlessness" and this is because they find no love at home. From line 9 onwards he begins to talk about...

Sociocultural values related to salmon and herring and their linkages to fisheries governance are explored in a comparative study. The aim is to understand why and how salmon and herring are important for different stakeholder groups, and to investigate how these values could inform the development of governance practices that are both sustainable and legitimate.
The cultural importance of Baltic salmon is strong in the Baltic Sea region, especially in its Northern parts. Salmon fishing is a constant topic of political debates, and public spending is targeted to salmon habitat restoration. By contrast, the value of Baltic herring seems to be mostly economic. Human consumption of herring has decreased especially in the Northern parts of the Baltic Sea, but it still has more nutritional importance in the Eastern parts. In BONUS GOHERR project, the social and cultural values affecting these trends will be identified and compared by interviewing stakeholders from Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Estonia. Further, possibilities to take these values into account in the development of ecosystem-based governance will be examined. Also the political, legal and organizational prerequisites for integrated governance will be assessed.
1. Understand the sociocultural value and use of Baltic salmon and herring;
2. Apply these understandings to assess the political prerequisites for successful integrated fisheries governance; and
3. Explicate what kind of institutional and attitudinal flexibility is needed for integrated governance.

Configure F5 BIG-IP for DirectAccess NLS
Recently I wrote about the Network Location Server (NLS) and its importance for DirectAccess deployments. As I described previously, the NLS is nothing more than a web server with an SSL certificate installed. It should also be made highly available to prevent potential service disruption caused by planned or unplanned NLS server downtime. Any web server can serve as the NLS. In addition, if you have the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) in your environment, you can easily configure the LTM to serve as the NLS.
To accomplish this, import the SSL certificate for the NLS and create an SSL client profile using its certificate and private key. Next, create a new iRule that contains the following code.
HTTP::respond 200
Configure F5 BGIP for DirectAccess NLS
Finally, create a new virtual server listening on TCP port 443 and assign this iRule as a resource for the virtual server. Once NLS reachability has been verified, update the DirectAccess configuration using the Remote Access Management console or the Set-DANetworkLocationServer PowerShell cmdlet.

Is there a spiritual component to marijuana?
Ganja yoga - smoke weed in higher spheres?
Doga (dog yoga), beer and laughter yoga. The yoga trends are just sprouting up. In this article we want to introduce you to one of them: Ganja Yoga. Smoking weed and yoga sounds like an extraordinary combination at first, but what is really behind it? In our article you will find out where this trend originated, how cannabis consumption can support you in your yoga practice and bring you closer to the goals of yoga.
How do yoga and cannabis use fit together?
Ganja yoga is enjoying increasing popularity in the USA. Some US states where cannabis use is legal already have their own centers for this form of yoga. For example in California, the state in which the trend developed. Sun, beach, yoga and weed - actually not a bad idea. But maybe one or the other wonders to what extent yoga and weed go together. On the surface, it seems that smoking weed is more likely to keep us from achieving the goals of yoga practice. Ultimately, in yoga, we want to bring body and mind into harmony and achieve a state of inner calm and clarity. Does cannabis use obscure this condition or can it bring us closer to the goals of yoga?
Ganja Yoga: Combination of yoga and weed
People who smoke weed often justify their preference by saying that cannabis makes them feel more relaxed and balanced. And it is not just the Rastafarians who believe that they can reach a higher sphere of consciousness by consuming marijuana. THC, the most prominent cannabinoid in cannabis, docks in the brain on receptors that are usually available for endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamides. The function of anandamides has not yet been adequately researched, but it is assumed that they play an important role in perception, pain processing and memory, among other things. If THC attaches to the receptors, it can trigger reactions similar to anandamides. For example, the consumption of cannabis can lead to a state of deep relaxation or fatigue in some users, or to sudden hunger, the famous munchies. So it seems like both yoga and cannabis use could bring some benefits in achieving a present and peaceful state. A combination of the two could lead to an increase in the effect.
Ganja yoga focuses on the spiritual component of yoga practice
Ganja yoga can be particularly attractive for yogis who have previously practiced yoga primarily for sporting reasons and who found it difficult to get involved in the spiritual part. It is obvious that this form of yoga is one of the most relaxed types of yoga. The spiritual component of yoga practice is the focus of ganja yoga. First and foremost, the participants should relax and feel good. Representatives of Ganja Yoga report that by consuming cannabis it is easier for them to get involved in the yoga practice, to open the mind, to break away from the will to compete, to break inner boundaries and to overcome mental barriers. Since cannabis affects most people differently, this perception is subjective. If you want to find out whether ganja yoga is right for you, you have no choice but to try the yoga practice yourself. At Vice you can find a cool article about ganja yoga and meditation, a self-experiment with cannabis. And by the way: CBD yoga is all the rage and is a bit too heavy for everyone who likes weed.

text: The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains. Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent within the domains, the need to understand and learn negotiators' diverse preferences concerning issues of the domain and the different strategies negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a system that enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design process of general automated negotiators termed Genius, a General Environment for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage Simulation. With the constant introduction of new domains, e-commerce and other applications, which require automated negotiations, generic automated negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages over agents that are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments conducted with automated agents designed by human subjects using Genius we provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate its efficacy. Our results show the advantages and underlying benefits of using Genius for designing general automated negotiators.


Heartbeat Plugin
Component: ServiceControl Heartbeats
NuGet Package ServiceControl.Plugin.Nsb6.Heartbeat (2.x)
Target NServiceBus Version: 6.x
The following documentation describes deprecated packages ServiceControl.Plugin.Nsb5.Heartbeat and ServiceControl.Plugin.Nsb6.Heartbeat. To learn about the replacement package see NServiceBus.Heartbeat. To learn how to upgrade consult the upgrade guide.
The Heartbeat plugin enables endpoint health monitoring in ServicePulse. It sends heartbeat messages from the endpoint to the ServiceControl queue. These messages are sent every 10 seconds (by default).
An endpoint that is marked for monitoring (by ServicePulse) will be expected to send a heartbeat message within the specified time interval. As long as a monitored endpoint sends heartbeat messages, it is marked as "active". Marking an endpoint as active means it is able to properly and periodically send messages using the endpoint-defined transport.
Note that even if an endpoint is able to send heartbeat messages and it is marked as "active", other failures may occur within the endpoint and its host that may prevent it from performing as expected. For example, the endpoint may not be able to process incoming messages, or it may be able to send messages to the ServiceControl queue but not to another queue. To monitor and get alerts for such cases, develop a custom check using the CustomChecks plugin.
If a heartbeat message is not received by ServiceControl from an endpoint, that endpoint is marked as "inactive".
An inactive endpoint indicates that there is a failure in the communication path between ServiceControl and the monitored endpoint. For example, such failures may be caused by a failure of the endpoint itself, a communication failure in the transport, or when ServiceControl is unable to receive and process the heartbeat messages sent by the endpoint.
It is essential to deploy this plugin to the endpoint in production for ServicePulse to be able to monitor the endpoint.
Deprecated NuGet Packages
The following Heartbeat plugin packages have been deprecated and unlisted. If using one of these versions replace package references to use NServiceBus.Heartbeat.
 - ServiceControl.Plugin.Heartbeat
 - ServiceControl.Plugin.Nsb5.Heartbeat
 - ServiceControl.Plugin.Nsb6.Heartbeat
ServiceControl Queue
Plugins send messages using the defined endpoint transport to ServiceControl. The plugin must be configured with the location of the ServiceControl input queue. This queue is created during the installation of ServiceControl. The queue name is based on the ServiceControl instance name which is visible in the ServiceControl Management utility.
Service Control Instance Name
Configure the ServiceControl queue via code:
var endpointConfiguration = new EndpointConfiguration("myendpoint");
 serviceControlQueue: "ServiceControl_Queue");
Configure the ServiceControl queue via config:

Heartbeat Interval
ServiceControl heartbeats are sent, by the plugin, at a predefined interval of 10 seconds. The interval value can be overridden on a per endpoint basis adding the following application setting to the endpoint configuration file:

This simple but functional Roman food storage jar is based on one found during excavations at Nottingham. Plain ceramic vessels such as this would have been widely used in kitchens across the Roman Empire, on a daily basis.
Earthenware, terracotta
Approx. 205 mm tall, 120 mm diameter
This replica Roman pot has been hand made in Northumberland by Potted History, inspired by original artefacts. It has been wood fired to emulate authentic the original Roman firing conditions, to a temperature of between 800°C & 1000°C. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot it's unique character.

This is a Museum Quality Replica made using the tools and techniques that would have been used during the Roman era. As this is an unglazed pot with a porous surface it will absorb some of the flavours during us, which does add to the flavour of future dishes. However, it does also mean that this pot does not meet modern Health and Safety standards and therefore we do not advise that it is used for food storage with. When the Romans cooked in ceramic pots they would rely on applying sufficient heat to the pot and contents to ensure that all bacteria was killed. Heating to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most disease causing bacteria and temperatures of 100°C would do even more.

Sun canopies are very strong and durable as they have great longevity which ensures their installation in dry and hot climates. Asides these climates, they also remain installed in cold and damp environments. SUN CANOPY
A sun canopy ensures that one enjoys optimum ventilation while he is relaxing beneath it. Sun canopies are made with high quality fabric. These fabrics are very authentic and as a result of this, they are able to last for a very long period of time and also able to withstand harsh weather conditions. The fabrics makes sure cool and soothing air is able to pass through the shade and hence offer a comfortable, airy and optimum ventilated space.
A sun canopy helps to lower the temperature of the air and hence reduces the cooling cost of one's properties and consumption of energy. Sun canopies are quite beautiful and lovely as they are made in various wonderful designs and styles. Having a sun canopy would definitely beautify that surrounding.
If it is a home, office, church or any place, sun canopy would perform its primary function and also beautify that place. Family and friends could get to relax beneath and a sun canopy, gist, eat, drink and just have a nice time together.
Sun canopies come in various colors; hence people could purchase a sun canopy in terms of the color of their desire and the one that would match with décor of where the sun canopy would be placed. The basic function of the sun canopy is just to serve as a shade that would shade people from the sun while they are sitting outside.
There are some times when people would just want to enjoy the cool breeze and ventilation. During these moments, the scorching sun could serve as a deterrent to them having a comfortable time. This is why a sun canopy is very essential and important.
CONCLUSION: A sun canopy can be used anywhere as long as it is outside a building. Apart from people staying beneath a sun canopy, various other things like cars, plants and such other things that can be adversely affected by the high rate of sunlight could be kept beneath a sun canopy.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
In Oracle if you want to store a small value, such as a one digit code (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3 4, or Null; or Null, or 1; or 1, or 2), what is the space optimal way to store such a value. Currently I'm looking at a system where it was decided to store these values as VARCHAR2(11 CHAR), but it seems like the wrong option for a column type. From the online Oracle documentation and the almighty Google it seems like the more space optimal storage option with be CHAR(1) as it seems to be the smallest on disk type.
Am I completely wrong in my thinking or doesn't it not matter either way?

The documentation states the size of datatypes here.
0 (the number) is stored as 1 byte. Other single digit numbers will be stored in 2 bytes (one for the exponent, one for the mantissa). You can test this yourself by creating a test table and using the VSIZE() function on test data (doc link).
A CHAR(n) will be stored in n bytes.
I'd always store numbers in a NUMBER. Unless you're dealing with trillions of rows, the space saving will not be significant enough.

Is there an advantage as stroing it as a number? I agree about storing numbers as numbers, but there are not really numbers. That is to say, the numbers are really just codes for other values, like Male/Female, Yes/No, etc. So though it's a numeric representation it's not really a number, it's more an alias. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:12
_USER_ but it's still a number representing a foreign key to another table that uses a number as a primary key. And putting numeric data in string fields is a pretty terrible idea for a variety of reasons, not least of which are lack of data integrity, increased space on disk, and funky sorting – JNK Feb 5 '13 at 17:18

Estonian Aviation Museum (EAM) was founded by a private initiative for public use and it has to meet the founder-assigned tasks and objectives, it has to fulfil a special mission:
- Estonian Aviation Museum must become an innovative technical centre of interest to balance the prevailing tendency in our society toward humanitarian education. It must encourage young people to acquire an engineering education.
- Estonian Aviation Museum must provide technical support for the students of the Estonian Aviation Academy for the training of aviation specialists
- Estonian Aviation Museum must become an attractive free-time centre of interest for young people and an internationallyknown knowledge-based tourist attraction. It must advocate aviation and flying.
- Estonian Aviation Museum must perpetuate the history of Estonian aviation and identify Tartu as the birthplace of flying in Estonia. (the 1st demo flight in Estonia took place in 1912 in Tartu). Estonian Aviation Museum fills the vacuum beside the Estonian Maritime Museum and the Estonian Road Museum.

Table 3. Transaction-specific optionsTransaction-specific options are preceded by graph.tx_groups.* where * must be specified as a transaction group or default. For example, graph.tx_groups.default.read_only will make all transactions not explicitly named read_only, whereas graph.tx_groups.myTxGroup.read_only would apply only to transactions which are given the group name myTxGroup.
Option Setting Example Description Default
internal_vertex_verify true Set transaction to verify that vertices for internally provided auto-generated vertex ids actually exist. false
external_vertex_verify false Set transaction to verify that vertices for externally provided user-defined vertex ids actually exist. true
prefetch true Sets the query executor to asynchronously pre-fetch data based on its expected execution of the traversal prior to the data being requested. This can reduce transaction latency but can cause throughput to worse. true
read_only true Set a transaction to read-only. false
single_thread true Set a transaction to be only accessed by a single thread. false
thread_bound true Set a transaction to be bound to a particular thread. false
vertex_cache_size 4000 Maximum size of the transaction-level cache of recently-used vertices 10000l
Configure a Classic graph. Options can be set with either the graph - Classic engine or Schema API, and get or unset operations are accomplished with the Schema API.

DAKAR: Pieces of pottery, iron tools and jewellery dating back thousands of years have been discovered in Dakar after recent torrential rains flooded some suburbs, university researchers told AFP on Monday.
Moustapha Sall, a lecturer and researcher at Dakar's Cheick Anta Diop university said he happened upon the items by chance during a visit to the suburb of Ouest-Foire in the north-east of the capital after the rains on August 26.
"While visiting the flooded zone, I stumbled upon... pieces of pottery, perforated shells reused as jewellery, iron scoria and small stones including blades which could have been used to cut or carve," said Sall.
"The water washed away the sand and revealed these archeological objects."
Sall said the area was home to several construction sites, where workers said they had come across pieces of pottery and shells, which could hinder any future archeological digs.
"We will do an analysis of the objects discovered and send them to a laboratory" at the university which specialises in dating historical items, Sall said.
Another researcher at the university, Alioune Deme, said the objects could date back between 2,000 and 7,000 BC.


text: Silt Fences are temporary silt control devices that are designed to prevent the release of silt from a construction site. Silt fences prevent silt contamination of sensitive areas such as neighboring properties, streams, and sewer catch basins. A properly installed and maintained silt fence will collect silts before they can cause contamination requiring expensive clean up. Silt fences create a puddle behind the fence that acts as a "stilling basin" allowing silts to settle. Silt Fences are most often used on construction sites where the soil has been stripped of natural vegetation. The bare soil is easily eroded and can lead to the loss of silt in the event of a run-off event. The silt fence helps to prevent the movement of silt from the bare soil area to an adjacent area.


text: We consider a hypercube view to perceive the label space of multilabel classification problems geometrically. The view allows us not only to unify many existing multilabel classification approaches but also design a novel algorithm, principal label space transformation (PLST), that captures key correlations between labels before learning. The simple and efficient PLST relies on only singular value decomposition as the key step. We derive the theoretical guarantee of PLST and evaluate its empirical performance using real-world data sets. Experimental results demonstrate that PLST is faster than the traditional binary relevance approach and is superior to the modern compressive sensing approach in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.


Gtk2::Ex::TreeViewBits - various helpers for Gtk2::TreeView
 use Gtk2::Ex::TreeViewBits;
Gtk2::Ex::TreeViewBits::toggle_expand_row ($treeview, $path)
Toggle the row at $path between expanded or collapsed. $path is a Gtk2::TreePath.
This is a simple combination of check row_expanded then either expand_row or collapse_row. It's handy for making a toggle in the style of the Space key (toggle-cursor-row), but say on a button press rather than the cursor row.
See examples/ in the Gtk2-Ex-WidgetBits sources for a complete program using this under a row-activate signal.
Gtk2::Ex::TreeViewBits::remove_selected_rows ($treeview)
Remove the currently selected rows of $treeview from the underlying TreeModel. If nothing is selected then do nothing.
Rows are removed using $model->remove() as per Gtk2::ListStore or Gtk2::TreeStore. The model doesn't have to be a ListStore or TreeStore, only something with a compatible remove() method.
Currently this is implemented by tracking rows to be removed using a Gtk2::TreeRowReference on each and removing them one by one. This isn't fast, but is safe against additional changes to the model or the selection during the removals.
Gtk2::Ex::TreeViewBits::scroll_cursor_to_path ($treeview, $path)
Move the TreeView cursor to $path, expanding and scrolling if necessary to ensure the row is then visible.
This function is a combination of expand_row(), set_cursor() and scroll_to_cell(), except the scroll is skipped if $path is already fully visible. Avoiding a scroll is good because it avoids content jumping around when merely moving to different nearby rows.
When a scroll is done the row is centred in the $treeview window. If the row is bigger than the window then it's positioned at the start of the window.
As of Gtk 2.12.12, if a TreeView is in fixed-height-mode and the last row is unexpanded then a scroll_cursor_to_path() to a sub-row of it doesn't scroll correctly. It expands, moves the cursor, but the scroll goes only to that last parent row, not the intended sub-row. Believe this is a bug in Gtk.

Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges: how to grow them to say goodbye to plastic
Vegetable sponges are also known as Luffas, they are the fruits of a plant of the cucurbitaceae family, related to pumpkin and cucumber and it is very easy to grow at home.
Luffa is a fruit that has many fibers inside and can perfectly replace the use of traditional sponges that are made of plastic. Vegetable sponges are natural and 100% biodegradable, unlike commonly used sponges, which makes them less polluting.
How is it grown?
This plant has more male than female flowers, so it is advisable to place more than 5-6 plants to have a reasonable production. Pollination is essentially carried out by bees and it is convenient to install 1 to 2 hives per hectare.
It can grow as a vine, climbing a wall or forming a pergola, incidentally, it will project a good shade.
Luffa adapts to many types of soil, but it thrives best in soils with a loamy or sandy texture, deep or well drained with organic matter, in addition to maintaining a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 preferably.
The plant grows best in areas with tropical and subtropical climates. They regularly flower on short days, but there are also long-day cultivars.
How is it used?
The main use of this vegetable is the production of natural sponges, but if it is harvested early, it can be eaten like zuchinis. The sponge is also used to make bath, beach and cleaning products, such as massage gloves, mops, hats and shoes. In addition, its flowers are delicious in salads or fried as well as pumpkin.
You can use it for the shower (it is a very good exfoliator), to wash dishes, wash the bathroom, etc.
Luffa also has medicinal properties as a laxative, topical, and diuretic.

Does Cultural Sensitivity Matter to Maintaining Business Relationships in the Export Markets?: An empirical investigation in the Norwegian seafood industry
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study is twofold. The first aim is to develop the cultural sensitivity concept. A review of literature, including literature focusing on international business, marketing, and adaptive selling, has provided the basis from where the cultural sensitivity concept has been developed. This study proposes a model of the concept as multi-dimensional. Cultural sensitivity is perceived as a competence, held by a person responsible for sales in the export markets. Experience is viewed as essential to advance a salesperson's cultural sensitivity. The dimensions, and thus the variables composing cultural sensitivity, are as follows: international experience, country experience, open-mindedness, adaptive business style, and ongoing business experience. The measurement scales were adopted from previous research, but were accommodated to the context studied. The second aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the various dimensions of cultural sensitivity are important to the maintaining of business relationships in export marketing channel contexts. The empirical setting is the Norwegian seafood export industry with selected business partners in the export markets. The sample consists of 111 cases, and regression analyses were conducted to test 12 hypotheses. The conceptual model proposes that the five variables that compose cultural sensitivity have different roles. International experience, country experience and open-mindedness are hypothesised to have an impact on relational qualities (trust between exchange partners and exchange of information) indirectly through adaptive business style. The findings give support to this view. These three variables do not have significant effects on trust and exchange of information directly. The findings show that country experience and open-mindedness have positive and significant effects on an adaptive business style. The findings show that adaptive business style does not have a significant impact on trust between exchange partners. Adaptive business style has a significant impact on exchange of information, though only at a p <.10 level. Ongoing business experience is viewed as a moderator variable. It is expected to strengthen the relationship between adaptive business style and trust, and the relationship between adaptive business style and exchange of information. The results show that the former relationship is strengthened from a non-significant to a significant relationship. The significance is though only at a p <.10 level.

How to Do Tombstone Rubbings
by Richard Lupu
with notes by Joel GAzis-SAx
I am really just an amateur, but I have found that rubbings are a beautiful form of art. It is a fairly easy and inexpensive hobby that is a wonderful way to learn about history. There are some basic rules you should follow and some tools you need to get started.
If you plan on doing rubbings of your family or relatives then some of these wont apply. I like to rub very old tombstones. They have a certain charm about them.
 1. Many cemeteries are private property. Be sure and ask before you start rubbing tombstones. Trespassing fines are not cheap. Many do not understand what rubbing is or have ever heard of it.
 2. Treat each tombstone as if it were your own mother's. Somebody loves these people and old tombstones can be delicate.
 3. Make sure and clean off all marks accidently left on tombstones. Leave the cemetery cleaner than when you got there.
 4. If it is a private cemetery or a municipal cemetery, don't rub at night. Your actions will most certainly be mistaken by local law officials. You would think this would not have to be mentioned but a friend of mine wanted to get some rubbings done when he got off of work one night. Bail is not cheap either.
 1. A soft brush. The kind you might use to polish your shoes work well. A tooth brush is also a good thing to bring.
 2. Paper, White or rice paper works best. I like rice paper. It has a really nice feel to it and can be surprisingly strong.¹
 3. Black or gray chalk. I like chalk, it can be messy but if you're careful it makes a very nice texture. Flat black crayons and rubbing wax are the most common, but I still like chalk.²
 4. Scissors or exacto knife.
 5. Masking tape or painters tape
 6. Small spray bottle and a soft absorbent rag.
 7. If you use chalk you will need Chalk spray. Krylon makes the best.³
Once you have found a nice tombstone you need to make sure it is clean. Use the soft brush and remove dirt and debris from the surface. Be gentle, and respectful, if the it looks as if you might scratch the tombstone then move on.
After you get most of the dirt off spray it with the bottle and then wipe with the rag. Let the tombstone become perfectly dry before you go on. Cut the paper larger than the tombstone itself and wrap tightly aroundthe stone. Tape it very securely so that it doesn't move, if the paper moves when you start rubbing you will probably have to start over.
Start rubbing on the outside edges and make yourself a frame of sorts. You don't need to rub real hard, you can always make it darker by going back over it but you can never make it lighter. You should start to see the patterns emerging at this point.
Once you have the darkness down to you liking carefully spray the paper down with the Chalk spray. Be careful not to get any on the tombstone. When it is dry you can remove it and trim it in the shape of the stone or leave a border around it. This is all there is to it. Practice with it and develop your own style.
I live in Texas and have found a couple of old cemeteries that are all but abandoned. The dates on a lot of these date back to the late 1800's. If you also live in Texas, E-mail me ( and I will give you directions.
Remember the respect you show now will ensure that tombstone rubbing will always be looked at as a way to preserve history and not as vandalism.
Caretaker's Notes
¹Rice paper was recommended by nearly all the Caretaker's advisors on this page. Butcher paper was mentioned as a cheaper substitute. I had a bad experience with a grainy drawing paper. Smooth surfaces work much better than grainy ones, though you may decide otherwise.
²In my experience, chalk was a bit messy. Other contributors suggested using charcoal. You can also use ink if you follow the method used in China for making stone rubbings.
³There's an alternative to Krylon and that is hairspray -- "the cheapest you can find" as one advisor put it.

The Caretaker also wishes to thank Lydia Thompson, Carolanne Szoke, and other contributors to alt.society.funerary for their tips.

What Does Wine Sound Like? Italian Engineers Create Audio Profiles for Vintages
Ever wondered what your favorite wine would sound like? Some sound engineers in Italy set out to create auditory profiles for their country's best vintages. They created the sound for each wine on a computer and when they insert a probe into the wine, it will make music depending on how the wine is moved around in the glass. The project is still in the early development stages, but they hope to one day offer it to wine producers and restaurants. Inside Edition Digital's Mara Montalbano has more.

NPR science correspondent Shankar Vedantam will expand on his Morning Edition appearances with a new podcast, Hidden Brain. The weekly 20-minute podcast will launch September 22.
According to a press release, the podcasting will link "psychology and neurobiology with art, music and literature" and will "reveal patterns that drive human behavior, biases that shape our choices, and imperceptible forces that influence our relationships."
Here's more about the new show from the press release:
Each episode will find creative ways to make social science research accessible. Recurring segments include "Mad Scientist," where guests try to predict what an experiment found, and "Stopwatch Science" – a rapid-fire exchange of ideas. Topics from early episodes include "Switchtracking," which is what happens when two people think they are talking about the same thing but are really on their own tracks, why the bond between students and teachers makes a big difference in education, and how a female poker champion learned to use the stereotypes her rivals had about her to her own advantage.
Listen to a short teaser:
Vedantam has also written a book titled Hidden Brain.

ANNOUNCE: hspec-0.8.0 (command line runner and nested specs)
hspec version 0.8.0, Behavior Driven Development for Haskell, is now available!
This latest release includes a command line runner that can search through directory trees for specs and support for nested specs.
From the hspec specs:
the "describe" function - takes a description of what the behavior is for - groups behaviors for what's being described a nested description - has it's own specs - may be displayed indented
And from the hspec command line runner:
hspec searches through files or folders and runs any top level declarations with a type of 'Specs' or 'IO Specs'. Monadic specs must be fully qualified, list-based specs may be qualified or not. You can specify specific *.hs files or directories to search through or let hspec search the current directory tree for specs to run. usage: hspec [OPTIONS] [TARGET_LIST] -f FORMAT --format=FORMAT Specifies what format to use for output. By default the specdoc format is used. FORMAT can be silent, progress, specdoc, or failed_examples. -o FILE_NAME --output=FILE_NAME Specifies the file to use for output. By default output is directed to stdout. FILE_NAME can be stdout or stderr for those handles. -e REGEX --example=REGEX Only execute examples with a matching description. By default all examples are executed. -c TRUE|FALSE --color=TRUE|FALSE Force output to have or not have red and green color. By default color is only used when output is directed to stdout. --runfile=FILE_NAME Use a specific file to log the last run results. This is read when using the --rerun option. By default the file ".hspecLastRun" logs the last run results. -r RERUNOPT --rerun=RERUNOPT Rerun a specific subset of specs. This looks at the last run file specified by -runfile. RERUNOPT can be "all" or "failed". By default the last run file is ignored and all specs are run. -h, -? --help Display this help. -v --verbose Display detailed information about what hspec is doing. --specs Include the specs for the hspec command line runner itself. When used, the target list will not default to the current directory. A non-empty target list will still be searched though.

text: The effects of different hydrogen or equivalent deuterium treatments on CdTe superficiallayers are studied. Surface chemical analysis is performed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and hydrogen profiles are controlled by secondary ion mass spectroscopy using deuterium. Hydrogen plasma etching leads to a clean and nearly stoichiometric surface, and the surface abrasion rate is higher than the hydrogen in-diffusion rate. Deuterium implantation by a Kaufman source leads to surface depleted of tellurium and prevents them from further oxidation. Annealing under deuterium gas produces a similar surface, free fromoxide, but not stable with regard to further oxidation.

What Are My Degree Options at CCC?
Coffeyville Community College offers four different associate degree options, and choosing the option that is best for you can be confusing. Below are explanations of the intended purpose of each degree option.
A.A. Degree (Associate in Arts)
This is the degree option a majority of students at CCC choose. This is the degree option designed for students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution after graduation from CCC, or for students who wish to one day enroll into a bachelor's degree program. This degree fulfills most of the general education requirements at a four-year school and will grant you junior status when you transfer, a big deal at enrollment time. So, if you plan to work on a bachelor's degree at some point in your life, this is the degree option for you.
A.S. Degree (Associate in Science)
This transfer degree serves the same purpose as the A.A. degree, but is intended for students who plan to major in a math or science field at a four-year school. So, if you plan to major in a program at a four-year school that requires a lot of math and science, this degree option is intended for you.
A.G.S. Degree (Associate in General Studies)
This degree option has a major difference between the A.A. degree – this one only requires Intermediate Algebra to graduate from CCC instead of College Algebra. It can be used for transfer, but be aware that at some point you will likely need to take College Algebra or higher level math course to earn a bachelor's degree. It is recommended you choose an A.A. or A.S. degree option if you plan to ever work on a bachelor's degree later.
A.A.S. Degree (Associate in Applied Science)
This is the degree option that many students in a technical program will choose. Students choosing this option will complete a technical program such as welding, electrical, automotive, etc. In addition to completing a technical program curriculum, students also complete 16 general education hours to complete requirements for the A.A.S. degree. This is a degree option utilized mostly by students at the Coffeyville Technical Campus and the Columbus Technical Campus.

What is a Reverse NDR Attack
The non-delivery report (NDR) is generated when an email message is not able to be sent to the next hop.
Spammers can use NDR as a method to generate spam towards victims by using the victim's email address as the sender. This is called a reverse NDR Attack.
Consider the following scenario:
 - Bob (the victim), has an email address
 - You run an email server that accepts messages for In addition, it accepts messages for valid as well as invalid users.
 - Jim (the attacker), wants to send a spam message to Bob. However, instead of sending it directly to Bob, he sends it through your email server. He does this to prevent his IP address from getting black listed.
 - Jim's composes an email with the following values for Sender and Recipient:
Since does not exist, your email server will generate an NDR. However, that NDR will get sent to Bob instead of Jim, because Jim forged the sender to be Bob instead of Jim.
Refer to the diagram below for more information:
Preventing such attacks in Xeams
There are two features in Xeams that will help against a reverse NDR attack.
 - Configure Xeams to reject invalid users. This is done by specifying a valid list of users or integrating with Active Directory.
 - Configure how NDRs are generated.
 Configuring NDRs
 After logging in as admin, go to Smtp Server Configuration and select the Advanced Tab. Following bullets describe two important configuration parameters.
 Include Original:
 This option configures whether to attach the original email message in the NDR. By default, this option is disabled. It is highly recommend to leave this option disabled to prevent spammed messages.
 Generate NDRs only for outbound emails:
 This option only allows NDRs to be generated for outbound emails. This prevents the reverse NDR attack where someone uses your email server to bounce back spam messages.

This app is aimed specifically at those with macular degeneration, who still can use their sight to read. It greatly helps those who know the technique of eccentric viewing but this method of training vision and practising should be known before using the app. The fact that it has such a simple interface, customizable configuration and audio usage instructions available make it easy to use and if the user has a monitor or a TV they can take advantage of the advantages of this app and read comfortably through a large screen.View description
The MD evReader is a simple iPad app designed to help people with Macular Degeneration (MD) to read e-books when it is combined with the technique of "eccentric viewing". Eccentric vision is when a person attempts to see by making use of their peripheral visual skills instead of the central ones (macular). The app enables the text (of e-pub documents) to be presented horizontally, from right to left, through the screen. The speed and the direction of the text movement may be controlled using a monitoring panel on the iPad screen. The text may be enlarged and presented in very large fonts on a digital screen through an HDMI port (this requires an Apple HDMI adaptor). The reader must fix their gaze in their preferred position of eccentric vision, far from the text, and read the text without moving their eyes. At present, the app cannot show books that are DRM-protected.
