Peep Facts
April 22, 2011 — Leave a comment
Who invented the wonderful candy known as Peeps?
Sam Born. Sam Born began selling Peeps in the early 1920′s. He sold them in a small grocery store he owned, under a sign that read "Just Born".
In what city did Peeps first appear?
New York City. Peeps quickly became his most popular item.
Where are Peeps made since 1932?
Bethlehem, Pa.. In 1932, Sam Born moved his company to a larger facility in Bethlehem to keep up with the growing demand.
How long does it take to make a Peep?
6 minutes. In 1953, it took 27 hours. The original process was done by hand, compared to today when machines do much of the work. Today, you can make your own Peeps, with an at home kit available from Just Born!
What color is the most popular Peep?
Yellow. We all love the little yellow chicks! After yellow, the favorite color arepink, lavender, blue, and white. The flavor, in most cases, is not changed by the color. It is simply food dye
How many Peeps are made each DAY in the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania factory?
4.2 million. That is a lot of Peeps.
Peeps aren't as bad for you as you might think. A single Peep has how many calories?
32. Peeps have 0 grams of fat too. Let's face it though, a Peep is just a hunk of sugar coated sugar.
What holiday is the largest orgy of Peep buying?
Easter. Peeps are now available year round. You can find bat Peeps for Halloween, hearts for Valentines Day, and even Christmas tree Peeps. A Peep for every occasion!
According to surveys, how many Peeps does the average adult eat in a sitting?
5. The way to eat a Peep is totally personal. Some eat the head first, another the tail. Others, myself included, poke holes in the wrapping to let them get stale. You can bake with Peeps, microwave them,freeze them, even order a pizza with Peep topping. Anything goes.
A box of unopened Peeps should be discarded after 1 year.
False. The shelf life of Peeps, if stored properly, is years. In 1 million years, someone will dig up a pack of Peeps, and they will probably be edible!

By the way, I don't like Peeps.

FAQs Welcome to the Antioch-Chichibu Sister City Program
Antioch-Chichibu Sister City Organization Logo
Home | Our History | Visiting Japan | Culture | Be a Delegate | Be a Host | FAQs | News
Q: Where is Chichibu (秩父市)?
A: Chichibu City is located in Saitama prefecture (roughly equivalent to a State in the US), on the main island of Japan (see map). Present population of Chichibu city is approximately 69,000. The city was formally "incorporated" in 1950, but Japanese have lived in this area for thousands of years.
Interestingly, like Antioch, there is a river that runs through Chichibu – the Arakawa River - and Mount Buko rises south of the city center. These geographical similarities are part of what initially prompted Chichibu to be proposed for a Sister City in Japan. For more information see this wikipedia link.
Q: How old does a student have to be to visit Japan through this program?
A: The minimum age is 16. Please see information for interested delegates for more information.
Q: Are vaccinations needed to visit Japan?
A: No vaccinations are needed, although making sure you are up-to-date on your regular vaccinations is recommended. More health information can be found online through the CDC Travelers Page.
Q: What is the time difference between Chichibu and Antioch?
A: Chichibu is 17 hours "ahead" of Antioch, that is, at 7:00PM Monday in Antioch, it is Noon Tuesday in Chichibu. Communication between the two cities is convenient from 3:00 PM Antioch time (8:00AM the next day in Chichibu) to 7:00 PM Antioch time (12:Noon the next day in Chichibu).
Q: How difficult will it be to "navigate" in Japan; do many Japanese speak English?
A: Delegates are most often with their host family and/or the delegation who will help them navigate about Japan.
Delegates should also always have the contact information for the group leader on hand in case the need for additional help should arise.
Smart phones with translator aps are very useful, however, due to the radical difference in sentence structure between the Japanese language and English, these aids are often not as easy to use as one would hope.
Many Japanese we meet in our visits speak some English, as English is taught starting in the third grade. Interestingly, their written English is generally superior to their spoken English, as English is often learned from books, with less stress on verbal communication. Sometimes communication between delegates from Chichibu and their hosts in Antioch is easier by writing notes.

Q: How can I get money in Japan?
A: Currencies can be exchanged at either airport. In the visit of 2015, the exchange rate was more favorable at the Narita Airport in Japan.Note that most of the costs to delegates (food, lodging) will be covered by our host families. For personal spending (Ice cream? Souvenirs?) Yen will be needed.
Japan is a cash-based society so you will want to have cash on you at all times.
Once in Japan, you can get cash 3 ways:
 - Use your Visa Delta/Cirrus/Plus (check the back of your card for these logos) debit card to get from a CashPoint/ATM machine. These can be found at the local post office, some 7Elevens, and there are some Citibank ATMs as well. There is usually an English option on the menu once you enter your card. Make sure to notify your bank that you will be withdrawing money from Japan, or they may freeze your card.
 - Use Travelers Checks and exchange at the airport or at the local bank counter.
 - Exchange cash at a JUSCO store (big grocery and department store). They often have money exchange machines (dollars to yet) on the first floor.
Most large businesses and restaurants will accept credit cards, but you will use cash for smaller businesses
Keep in mind that any time you exchange dollars for Yen, you are selling your dollars and buying Yen, and there will be handling fee for this service (often 3% of your purchase or withdrawal) in addition to the exchange rate, which is "bundled" into the nominal exchange rate. This bundled fee results in the difference between the nominal rate of yen per dollar and dollars per yen. You can view the current exchange rate online through Google or Xe.com and your credit card and bank will let you know their additional service charges
Here is a link to interesting information regarding costs in Japan.

Q: Will my cell phone work in Japan?
Example: AT&T Pay-per-Use
 - Without international package: $2.50/min
 - With international package: $1.69/min + $5.99/month
A: Maybe. Most newer smart phones will work in Japan on international roaming. Check with your cell provider for rates and prices.
Renting an international sim card before you depart will allow you to use your phone in Japan. There are several options online for this, including PicCell Wireless. However, for trips less than 2 weeks, International roaming and calling cards may suffice. You can use a calling card bought in the U.S. or buy one in Japan. Often you can find calling cards at the airport or at 7-Eleven in Japan.
Example: Mobil 1
 - Using WiFi: free text, calls to the US, internet surfing.
 - Using WiFi: calls to non-US numbers, including Japanese numbers: $0.20 per minute.
 - Non-WiFi calls to the US: $0.20 per minute
International Data roaming plans are for a very small amount of data, and you can rack up VERY large bills quickly if you use it too much. It is recommended that you ONLY use data when connected to WiFi; you can disable data in your phone settings. It does not cost anything to connect to WiFi and you can do that from any hotspot.
3G service is standard in Chichibu.
Texting will likely be at no charge.
"Being Smart About Phone Fees Overseas" NY Times
Q: How do I call to Japan from the U.S.
A: The Country Code for Japan 81. From most phones, dial 011+81+phone number.
For example, the City of Chichibu phone number is 0494-22-2211. From the U.S., you would dial: 011+81+274+494-22-2211. As you see, you drop the "0" from the number given in Japan. When calling a Japanese number from inside Japan, you would use that "0." Toll-free numbers in Japan begin with 0120 or 0088. See _URL_ for more information.
How do I call to the U.S. from Japan?
A: The international access number when calling from Japan is 010; and the US code is 1.
From most phones, dial 010+1+area code+phone number.
For example, the City of Antioch phone number is _PHONE_. If you are using a Japanese-based calling card in Japan, you would dial: 010+1+_PHONE_. See _URL_ for more information.

What are tracking IDs, and how does the new site help Associates use them?With tracking IDs, Associates can analyze the performance of various Web sites or merchandising strategies while accumulating earnings under a single Associates ID. For example, Associate storeid-20 might use the tracking ID storeid-1-20 to track referrals from one section of his Web site, and storeid-2-20 to track referrals from another section. Each ID would generate earnings for his Associates account storeid-20. He can view earnings for all tracking IDs taken together, or generate reports for each tracking ID individually. If you would like to create tracking IDs for your Associates account, please visit your account and click on "Manage your Tracking ID" link.
We've added several features to the site to help Associates who use tracking IDs analyze their performance and build custom links. You'll:
- Get results faster. The Tracking ID Summary Report now includes data for only those tracking IDs that have activity in the requested time period, making it easier to read and faster to load.
- Analyze performance more easily. Reports data for Associates accounts now include the tracking ID for each transaction. Get all the data you need in a single download instead of generating a report for each tracking ID.
- Save time while building links. You can change the tracking ID to be used in the resulting code at any time while you're building links. This increases your flexibility and eliminates the need for you to repeat steps.


Here is the situation:
 - I cast Walk the Aeons with Buyback.
 - Walk the Aeons resolves and returns to my hand.
 - I cast Walk the Aeons again, without buyback.
Where does Walk the Aeons go when it resolves for the second time that turn? Can Jace's ability track Walk the Aeons across multiple zones?
Objects that move from one zone to another become a completely new object.
400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. There are eight exceptions to this rule:
Rule 400.7h is an exception to 400.7. This is the rule that allows Jace's -3 ability to keep track of cards that you cast from the graveyard.
400.7h If an effect causes an object to move to a public zone, other parts of that effect can find that object. If the cost of a spell or ability causes an object to move to a public zone, that spell or ability's effects can find that object.
As soon as the card moves to any other zone, rule 400.7h no longer applies, and Jace's ability loses track of it. If you cast Walk the Aeons after that, it will go to the graveyard like normal.
As another user pointed out, this is also the most logical outcome. The game has no way to tell in all situations if the second Walk the Aeons is the same physical card as the first one.
 - 3
 Logically, the game can't really track that sort of thing, because there's no way for the game to know if the second Walk the Aeons that is cast is the same physical card as the first one or not. – GendoIkari Apr 13 '16 at 13:56
 - _USER_ That's one possible argument, but it's not watertight - what if the player had an empty hand before the Buyback? Then it would be the only card in that player's hand and the game could know. Of course, it would be a silly way of doing things on a case-by-case basis. The "game object" concept is much more broadly applicable. – Hackworth Apr 13 '16 at 14:14

I got a database with a column of type geography(Point,4326), the data contained looks like 0101000020E610000092E057F66EF73140930035B56CBD4840. How can I convert it to GPS coordinates?

It looks like this column is in Well Known Binary (WKB) or Extended Well Known Binary (EWKB) Format. You should try to query it using something like:
select astext(your_column_name) from your_table_name
That will give you the textual representation. Not sure what you mean by GPS co-ordinates? Do you want to convert it into a.gpx file or just get the lat/lon. In which case the former will do that, although you might have to clean up the output in text editor or something.
The alternative would be
select ST_X(your_column_name),ST_Y(your_column_name) from your_table_name
which will give you the numeric lats and longs in two columns as your query table.
---- EDIT
These are functions on Geometry columns --- on Geography columns, the following is correct:
 select ST_AsEWKT(your_column_name) from your_table_name
share|improve this answer
What I mean by GPS coordinates is just lat/lon. I've tried the functions you proposed but both returned an error ERROR: function astext(geography) does not exist ERROR: function st_x(geography) does not exist. Is there something I have to install to get it working? – Elwhis Sep 2 '12 at 21:28
Try ST_AsEWKT(your_column_name) – Stev_k Sep 3 '12 at 0:41
Yep, that worked, thank you very much! – Elwhis Sep 3 '12 at 1:13
add comment
The ST_X/ST_Y functions are only defined on the geometry type, so cast there before calling them.
SELECT ST_X(geogcolumn::geometry), ST_Y(geogcolumn::geometry) FROM thetable;
share|improve this answer
According to my tests (postgres 9.2, postgis 2.0.1), this is a bit faster than ST_AsEWKT – Laurent Debricon Sep 18 '12 at 15:15

This is the third article in the series about storing more than just executable code inside a Delphi application.
In the introductory article we saw how Delphi uses standard Windows resource files like icons, bitmaps and cursors. As explained, resource files that store such kind of data can be created with Delphi's Image Editor. The second article explained how to use sound files, video clips, animations and more generally any kind of binary files in a Delphi executable - we placed a mp3 file inside a Delphi exe. As stated, we use Borland Resource Compiler (BRCC32.exe) to create a resource file that gets linked with an executable file.
Many of you have asked how your application can be a container for any Web-style content, including HTML resources and pictures that are part of your project.
This articles will show you how HTML and associated files (pictures) can easily be included within a Delphi application. As a result, you simply have to distribute an EXE file that includes HTML pages, as it would do with icons and cursors.
 Creating a HTML page
For the start we have to assemble a (simple) html page. Use your favorite HTML editor and create one page with one associated picture. I'll name mine aboutindex.htm.
Note that when you add a picture tag inside a htm page it looks something like:
We have to alter the IMG tags so that the SRC attribute equals the name we are to give to a picture in a resource:
My HTML code looks like:
HTML inside a Delphi exe This is a HTML Delphi resource test:
 Creating and compiling a resource file
Remember that to create a new resource script file, you have to:
1. Create a new text file in your projects directory.
2. Rename it to AHTMLDelphi.rc.
3. Write down the following two lines of text in the AHTMLDelphi.rc file.
DELPHIINDEX HTML "c:\Delphi\projects\aboutindex.htm"
ABOUTDP GIF "c:\library\graphics\adp.gif"
Note: the resource type "HTML" is RT_HTML, predefined as the resource type "23". This is the default resource type for the RES protocol.
In this way we have prepared one HTML page and one GIF picture to be included in the binary code of our EXE module.
The next step is to compile the.rc file. To compile the AHTMLDelphi.rc file to a.res file execute this command at the command prompt (in the projects directory):
The final step is to add the following compiler directive to a unit in your project. RES file must be included in the program's build by adding a line like this:
{$R AHTMLDelphi.RES}
 Displaying inside a Web browser
When you have the application's exe (let's call it: myhtmldelphi.exe) the HTML resource contained within can be accessed via the RES: protocol. Run Internet Explorer and, in the Address bar, type the following:
This should result in:
HTML page from a Delphi resource
That's it. If you have any questions; like how use the HREF tag inside a html resource, or how to display the html page inside a Delphi form; please post them on the Delphi Programming Forum!

Collecting data is often the first step of any medical visit. The various forms, documents, and questionnaires needed by a clinic may differ based on their needs, but will always exist as an initial and crucial point of contact. Whether it's insurance paperwork or a patient history questionnaire, quick and easy access to patient information is the backbone of expedient care.Open Postman
Objective of this Collection
We'll explore FHIR's mechanism for describing clinical forms, the Questionnaire resource, and the additional capabilities enabled by Commure's support for the Structured Data Capture (SDC) specification. The collection will demonstrate how to request forms to be partially-filled with answers from existing data and how new or updated information in a form can be turned into the appropriate FHIR resources.
In this scenario, a provider will be filling out a digital form to capture a patient's insurance information.
First, the provider uses a search interface to find the patient by name, then selects to start a new response to an insurance coverage form. The client application uses the extended operation Questionnaire/\$populate, which returns a partially-filled QuestionnaireResponse. Once completed, the extended operation QuestionnaireResponse/\$extract is invoked for the completed form. This returns a new or updated Coverage resource that is submitted by the application, ensuring that the data is available in the expected record.
FHIR Concepts Covered
FHIR offers a very effective set of resources and tools to work with questionnaires. The scenario presented here is a simplified example to introduce FHIR's resources. We will interact with the following resources: Questionnaire (a specification of the content and behavior of a form; aka "form template"), QuestionnaireResponse (answers to questions defined by a Questionnaire)
Additionally, this scenario provides an introduction to:
- The extended operation
Questionnaire/$populate, to pre-fill data into a form.
- The extended operation
QuestionnaireResponse/$extract, to create or update resources from answers to questions in a form.
- Basic FHIR search queries to find a patient by name & retrieve associated records.
To navigate a scenario using the Postman collection you will need to
- Sign up here and accept Commure's Terms and Conditions.
- Authenticate (To have more information about it read the postman documentation, our documentation or see our authentication collection).
- Set up the initial FHIR data you need using the first request of the collection
- Go through the user journey performing each request in the collection
How to authenticate
Once you are signed up, there are two ways to authenticate with Commure's Server:
Click the "View more actions" button of the Collection > Click "Edit" > Go to the variables tab and update only the tenant-id field (both initial value and current value) The tenant-id is the suffix on the baseurl when you sign in to the Commure's Developer Platform. For example: in _URL_ the tenant id is: 99750511. After updating this field please click "Update" at the bottom right corner of the window.
Now click again the "View more actions" button of the Collection > Click "Edit" > and this time, go to the authorization tab > select Oauth2 as the authorization method > Click "Get New Access Token" > Fill the fields with your tenant information.
Remember to remove the blank space between the Curly braces
- Callback url: http://localhost:1234/callback.
- Auth url:
- Access Token url:
- client-id: smart_hello_world
- Scope: openid email
- Leave Client Secret and State empty.
After filling in the details, please Click in "Request Token" > In the next window Click "Use Token" > Once that window closes please click "Update"
In your browser go to the /auth endpoint, and get the authorization token, then use the token as a bearer in every request you want to make to our servers.
Note: If you get a 404 SSL error, you forgot to set the tenant-id variable on the collections variables, or you have a wrong base url.

This Edumine course will introduce participants to the principles of mine haul road design, from road building material selection and characterisation, road-user (truck and traffic) requirements, through to performance benchmarking and evaluation as a basis for road maintenance management decision making.
These skills will enable participants to evaluate their current haul road systems, recognise operational inefficiencies and implement continuous improvement strategies to reduce cost per ton hauled across the mine road network and improve road performance on a day-to-day operational basis. The training will provide participants with answers to practical mine haul road-operational issues such as:
- Why are good roads necessary - what are the benefits of an improved haul road design and infrastructure?
- What critical operational aspects should a road design consider?
- Equipment, materials and methods - what is required?
- How do you translate a design into practical construction techniques?
- When are dust palliatives appropriate - and how do they influence road management and cost per ton hauled?
- How do you benchmark a road design - what do you see, what does it mean and how do you fix the problem?

Set the Folder to the folder that contains the files. Set the File field to use the Hidden form element.
Creating a download link on another page would be pretty similar, you just need a way to pass the file name into the download server behavior.

barking dog, Bucharest (not realized)
For no other creature is territorial behavior so pronounced as it is for dogs. It is based on the instinct to take possession of a territory, to mark it and to defend it. Directly in front of the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest the leashed or enclosed animal would be an appellative symbol of a lost terrain, of the seizure and appropriation of public space for dictatorial and propaganda purposes by the then president Nicolae Ceausescu. In the process of constructing the palace in 1984, which included extensive plazas and boulevards, around 40,000 homes and countless churches and synagogues were torn down, and evictions were carried out in parts of the old city in the 1970s. The site of the former "People's House" would be temporarily occupied by the visibly "domesticated" dog, who thus symbolically reclaims the environment and living space of the citizens. (JO)

Should there be mandatory national service?
Multiple countries around the world require mandatory national service for citizens who are of a certain age, gender, and health. This institution has been highly controversial in recent decades, due to the rise of democracy and creation of paid and voluntary standing militaries.
No, mandatory service should not exist
Mandatory service should not exist because it is an infringement on individual rights and freedoms. Mandatory service forces people to serve in conditions that have a high risk for danger and death.
Mandatory service requirements infringe on civil rights
Mandatory national service is a violation of civil and individual rights. Mandatory national service forces citizens into harmful and dangerous situations against their will, with little to no benefit.
Mandatory service requirements are easily manipulated
Mandatory national service requirements can easily be manipulated by the wealthy to avoid conscription and service. This would make mandatory service requirements affect certain populations disproportionally.
Yes, mandatory service is essential
Mandatory service is essential to keep a nation's economy, safety, and political system thriving. Citizens should give back to their nation by serving to keep it safe.
Mandatory service keeps the country safe
Mandatory national service ensures there is never a shortage of people to keep the nation safe. Mandatory service requirements maintain stability in the safety of the nation.
Mandatory service promotes patriotism and unity
Mandatory service provides a sense of patriotism and duty for citizens. An increased level of pride from an individual to their nation leads to a healthier population.
Mandatory service can save governments money
Mandatory service can save governments money on ads and commercials to promote volunteer service. Mandatory national service also helps keep the economy stable because people who serve their nation are more likely to keep steady jobs and give back to the nation.

Three WKU Profs Honored for Nature Work
The state Nature Preserves Commission has given three WKU professors its annual award for work that protects biological diversity.
Alfred Meier, Ouida Meier and Scott Grubbs were given this year's Biological Diversity Protection Award for their work creating the Upper Green River Biological Preserve. The preserve is on the banks of the Green River in Hart County.
The Green River is the most important river in Kentucky for the conservation of rare native mussels and fish. It hosts 109 fish species and nearly 60 mussel species. The area is also important for an endangered bat species found on the preserve and as a breeding and migratory habitat for songbirds.
The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission was created in 1976 to protect the best remaining natural areas of Kentucky.

Next to bragging about which community enjoys or endures the most weather, Canadians like to boast how their province or territory compares with the warmest, snowiest or the windiest. To settle arguments as to which jurisdiction can legitimately lay claim to being tops in weather, David Phillips, Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist analyzed 30 years of recent weather data for each of Canada's ten provinces and three territories. His results are sure to provide for entertaining conversation but could also assist provincial and territorial governments, industries, tourism and recreational businesses and those seeking weather information to make decisions on where to reside for retirement or health purposes.
Province-Territory Weather Winners is a follow-up to the highly popular Canadian Cities Are Weather Winners site released in 2003. This new study looks at how each Canadian province and territory ranks in 70 different weather categories, including those groupings used in the city weather winners. Data for 30 years from 150 weather stations, representative of the geography in each province and territory, were used to compute averages for each jurisdiction. Among the categories included are: the warmest province or territory year-round, the hottest in summer, the coldest in winter, the sunniest year-round, the province or territory with the most freezing rain days, the most heavy snow days, the most thunderstorm days, etc. The website allows you to view how your province or territory ranks for each of the categories and includes the weighted-average value for the category in question.

The smell of homemade bread doesn't just make us crave fresh-from-the-oven carbs, it also makes us kinder to strangers — or so a new study claims.
A small team of researchers from France's University of Southern Brittany sent four volunteers to stand outside a clothing store. They sent another four volunteers to stand outside a bakery. As shoppers passed by, the volunteers "accidentally" dropped small personal items, like gloves and handkerchiefs, the NY Daily News reports.
The researchers found that 77 per cent of the shoppers who walked by the volunteers outside the bakery stopped to pick up the dropped items, while only 52 per cent of shoppers stopped outside the clothing store.
The experiment was repeated 400 times, each time leading the researchers to conclude that pleasant smells "trigger a positive mood that leads to a greater degree of altruism, or unconditional concern for the welfare of others," the Daily Mail reports.
Of course, if you're on a diet that's severely limiting your carb intake, the smell of fresh bread might make you hostile rather than hospitable.
The study doesn't indicate if factors like time of day or weather were controlled for in the study.
Watch the video below reporting on the new bread study.

Job's Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), Coixseed, Tear Grass, Hato Mugi, adlay, or adlai, is a tall grain-bearing tropical plant of the family Poaceae (grass family) native to Southeast Asia[1] but elsewhere cultivated in gardens as an annual. It has been naturalized in the southern United States and the New World tropics. In its native environment it is grown in higher areas where rice and corn do not grow well. Job's Tears are also commonly sold as Chinese pearl barley in Asian supermarkets, although C. lacryma-jobi is not closely related to barley (Hordeum vulgare).
There are two main varieties of the species.
 1. Wild type Coix lacryma-jobi var. stenocarpa and var. monilifer has hard shelled pseudocarps which are very hard, pearly white, oval structures used as beads for making rosaries, necklaces, and other objects.
 2. Cultivated type Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen is harvested as a cereal crop, has soft shell, and is used medicinally in parts of Asia.[2]
Besides the use for ornamental purposes, Job's tears grains are useful as a source of food (cereals) and folk medicine.[3][4]
Throughout East Asia, Vyjanti beads are available in dried form and cooked as a grain. The grains are generally spherical, with a groove on one end, and polished white in color, though in Japan unpolished yuuki hatomugi, which is unpolished and brown in color, is also available.
In Korea, a thick drink called yulmu cha (율무차, literally "Job's tears tea") is made from powdered Job's tears. A similar drink, called Yi Ren Jiang (薏仁漿), also appears in Chinese cuisine, and is made by simmering whole polished Job's Tears in water and sweetening the resulting thin, cloudy liquid with sugar. The grains are usually strained from the liquid but may also be consumed separately or together.
In both Korea and China, distilled liquors are also made from the grain. One such example is the South Korean liquor called okroju (옥로주; hanja: ), which is made from rice and Job's tears. In Japan, an aged vinegar is made from the grain.[5]
In southern Vietnam, a sweet, cold soup called sâm bổ lượng has Job's Tears as one of its ingredients. This dish derives from the southern Chinese tong sui called qīng bǔ liáng (; Cantonese: ching1 bou2 leung4).
In Thailand, it is often consumed in teas and other drinks, such as soy milk.
It is also used alongside other herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Particularly Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine to invigorate the spleen function and promote urination, alleviate arthritis, arrest diarrhea, remove heat and facilitate the drainage of pus.[6]
In both the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, the beads of Job's Tears are called "corn beads" or "Cherokee corn beads" and have been used for personal adornment since at least the time of the united Cherokee Republic. A common folk story is that the corn beads sprang up along the path during the 1838 forced march of many Cherokees to Oklahoma from their southeastern North American homelands by the U.S. military.

text: AbstractCellulose fibres from sugarcane bagasse were bleached and modified by zirconium oxychloride in order to improve the mechanical properties of composites with high density polyethylene (HDPE). The mechanical properties of the composites prepared from chemically modified cellulose fibres were found to increase compared to those of bleached fibres. Tensile strengths of the composites showed a decreasing trend with increasing filler content. However, the values for the chemically modified cellulose fibres/HDPE composites at all mixing ratios were found to be higher than that of neat HDPE. Results of water immersion tests showed that the water absorption affected the mechanical properties. The fracture surfaces of the composites were recorded using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM micrographs revealed that interfacial bonding between the modified filler and the matrix was significantly improved by the fibre modification.

Create mongoDB external table
Data Virtualization with MongoDB using PolyBase in SQL Server 2019
October 9, 2020 by
In this article, you'll learn the approach to integrate MongoDB data source using data virtualization technique in SQL Server 2019. In this article, you can see how SQL Server 2019 provides a platform to create a modern enterprise data hub using data virtualization technology and the PolyBase technique.
 1. Discuss Data Virtualization
 2. Pre-requisite to setup MongoDB
 3. Set up MongoDB external connection in SQL Server 2019
 4. Many more…
The advent of Data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 allows us to solve modern and complex data challenges. Data virtualization with PolyBase in SQL Server 2019 is used as a data hub, and you can directly query the data from several heterogeneous data sources. These data sources include Azure Managed Instance, Oracle, Teradata, SAP HANA, MongoDB, Hadoop clusters, Cosmos DB, and SQL Server. We can query the data source using T-SQL and without separately installing driver software.
The data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 is an improvised solution to the ETL process. The other advantage of Data virtualization is that it allows the integration of data from different sources such as Azure MI, SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, Cosmos DB, and Hadoop-Distributed-File-System (HDFS) without the much data movement around the source and destination. This process is possible with the advent of PolyBase connectors.
 - Using T-SQL, we can query heterogeneous data sources using PolyBase connectors. This provides the bridge to query the data from external data sources such as SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MongoDB, and ODBC data sources with external tables
 - It also supports the UTF-8 encoding format
Get started:
In this section, you will learn how to create secure data access from the underlying data source.
In this case, PolyBase uses the security model of the MongoDB model to access the data. In most cases, we need permission to read the data. However, the credentials used to read the data and it is stored inside the PolyBase data hub.
To set-up data virtualization, follow the below steps:
 1. Setup database master key
 2. Create database-scoped credentials
 3. PolyBase external tables
 4. Configure External data sources
To configure database virtualization, select the database. Right-click the database and select Create External Table that starts the data virtualization wizard.
 1. Select a data source
 2. Create a database master key
In this section, we will see how to create a database master key. The master key is created inside the SQL Server database and it acts as a data hub.
The master key is providing a secure way to read data using the credentials in the external data source. It is always recommended to choose a complex password for the master key. In addition, use the BACKUP MASTER KEY command to back up the master key.
 1. You can have one master key in a database instance
 2. Use a secure location to backup the master key
 3. If you already have the master key created in your SQL instance—re-use it. The same master key is used to secure data access for data virtualization
 4. To see whether the master key is already created run the following query
 Display Sysmetric_keys details
Syntax to create a database master key is as follows:
Database scoped credentials
Database scoped credentials provide the abstraction layer to secure the model to access the data from the data source. SQL Server 2019 supports the following security models when using PolyBase for data virtualization:
 1. Proxy authentication
 2. Kerberos authentication
 3. Storage access key—shared secret key
The following syntax is used to provide SQL Server with the security context for a connection to a MongoDB external data source. In addition, you will see a shared secret key in use to create a database scoped credential.
 - Note: The identity refers to the username of the MongoDB external data source
To validate database scoped credentials in the datahub run the following T-SQL:
Display database scope credentials
Configure External data sources
External data sources provide a path to virtualize data from other data sources. It collects all the meta-data to access data from the single database object.
Each external data source provides the below options required to access the external source:
 - Location
 - port
 - credential
 - connectivity
The LOCATION parameter defines the communication protocol, server name and port for connectivity.
In this case, the communication protocol is mongodb and server is and port is 27017
The CREDENTIAL argument uses the database scoped credential MyMongoDBDemo2019. The external data source will use this database-scoped credential to query the target data sources
 - Note: The Connection_options and Pushdown parameters will be explained later in the article
 - To validate external data sources run the following T-SQL:
 Display external_data_sources
 How to map an external data table
 In this section, we will see how to create external views. On selecting the parent tables, the child tables are also referred by default. In addition, you have the mapping table where you modify the columns to match the target data types. This also gives you the option to modify the name of the external table.
 Let us look at the details of the MongoDB instance. Create the user using the following commands. I will not go in-depth on MongoDB concepts.
 how to connect mongoDB
 PolyBase external tables
 External tables provide SQL Server with the schema to reason over data in the external data source.
 Error Message:
 The T-SQL create external table statement errors out with the following details. You can see that the TLS handshake failed error reported. This can be handled in two ways. You can manage it at the Mongo DB startup parameters or you can turn off the SSL parameter or you can turn off the SSL=false in the T-SQL statement.
 "Msg 105082, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client:
 No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set):
 [TLS handshake failed: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) calling ismaster on '']
 (Error Code: 13053) Additional error <2>:
 ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set)
 (Error Code: 13053), SqlState: HY000, NativeError: 110 "
 You may receive this error due to the SSL issue. Now, the CONNECTION_OPTIONS parameter plays a role to connect MongoDB data source.
 In this case, set the connection_options to ssl=false and then run the create external statement.
 The CONNECTION_OPTION setting suppresses the connection over SSL, which is a default requirement for communicating with many other data sources. I will discuss more about it in the next article.
 Let us run create external table statement again:
 We can see in the below snippet, the external table created successfully.
 Create mongoDB external table
 Let us validate the external table using the following T-SQL:
 Display the external tables
 Now, Let us browse object explorer to validate the existence of the External Tables and External Data Sources.
 Display external employee table
 Finally, query the external table
 MongoDB data validation in SSMS and MongoDB console
 In this article, we discussed how to set up a PolyBase in SQL Server for MongoDB external data source.
 To summarize the steps real quick:
 The data virtualization framework provides a platform to eliminate the use of redundant data copies. To maintain the physical copy always requires additional storage and hardware resources. It incurs to increase an additional overhead on costs. Using the data virtualization technique, organizations can create an abstract layer to create a virtual data copy from a heterogeneous or homogeneous data repositories. The virtual copies define the soft external table links to the physical data repository. As I mentioned, the data virtualization technique not only avoids extra storage but it provides strong consistency between the source and the target in the data retrieval process. In addition, it addresses the data issues which in turn improves the data quality and improves the data query performance.
 That's all for now. I hope you like this article. Stay tuned for more updates…

The Isle of Man Green Party has said extraction of gas from the Manx seabed would be 'incompatible' with the island's Climate Change Act and the Paris Climate Agreement.
In a statement, the party has called on the gov to stop the exploration process at the end of the four month extension granted to Crogga to allow it to complete surveys.
The party said that it had written to CoMin asking ministers not to extend Crogga's licence, which was due to expire on December 31 2021.
It said: 'In the knowledge that Phase B of the licence awarded to Crogga in 2018 to explore for fossil fuels in the Isle of Man seabed was coming to an end at the end of 2021, and it being understood that if certain obligations had not been met by Crogga the licence would expire and automatically cease, the Green Party wrote on December 14 2021 to each Minister of the Council of Ministers, including the Chief Minister, setting out cogent reasons why the licence should not be extended.
'The Green Party's letter set out the realities of how climate change is impacting the Isle of Man, including the increasing prevalence of droughts, extreme rainfall, and erosion from a more volatile and expanding Irish sea. It is clearly stated by the relevant science that extreme climate change in the Isle of Man and elsewhere is being caused by carbon emissions, that the consequences of the same will be hugely damaging to our community and communities globally, and that we must urgently decarbonise and transition to renewable forms of energy. Gas is a high carbon fuel that is contributing to extreme climate change; accordingly, the Government should be introducing policies to reduce its use in order to protect our island community.'
In the letter, which can be seen below, the party said that any extensions would be 'in direct contradiction to the Government's commitments, amongst other things, in respect of the United Nations Paris Agreement, to undertake efforts to keep global heating to 1.5°C, and the Government's climate change duties pursuant to the Climate Change Act 2021'.
They said that after the extension was granted, they wrote to DoI Minister Tim Crookall asking for an explanation, but that they had not received a response.
Its statement added: 'Given the promises of action that emanated from the members of this Government in the 2021 election, the Green Party hopes that the Government will now take decisive action to end the licence in its entirety upon the expiry of the extension, and immediately commence the much needed investment in renewable energy.'


Beef Thawing Equipment
Beef is a standard meat product nowadays. Before eating the meat taken out from the refrigerator, we usually need to thaw it under room temperature or in cold water. In factories, thawing large pieces of frozen meat in this way before processing not only takes a long time but also has problems such as uneven temperature inside and outside, dark color, poor quality, and easy to grow bacteria.
The traditional beef thawing method usually uses water, air and vacuum condensation vapor medium to achieve thawing effect through heat conduction. There are mainly the following ways:
1.Airflow thawing: By adjusting the temperature difference among food, airflow, and the airflow velocity. Heat is transmitted to the freezer through the gas's static pressure in the product's surface boundary layer so that the fridge can achieve the purpose of thawing. This method has strong adaptability and little equipment investment, but the thawing time is long, and the efficiency is low.
2.Water thawing: Similar to air thawing, except that the medium is changed into water. Compared with air thawing technology, it is slightly better. Still, it is also inefficient and time-consuming and requires a lot of water resources that can not meet the standards of environmental protection.
The above two methods are traditional processing technology. During the freezing process, the surface temperature of food decreases, and the bacteria are inhibited. During the thawing process, the same surface area of food is also where the temperature rises. Because of the long thawing time, the bacteria reproduction starts again.
For more extensive materials, the surface begins to rot before thawing completely, aggravating the weight loss rate of raw materials. Because of the shortcomings of the above methods, our new professional beef thawing equipment is specially designed for meat products, seafood, aquatic products, and quick-frozen food thawing.

What are the significant advantages of beef thawing equipment compared with traditional thawing equipment?
1. Beef thawing equipment uses microwave thawing, adopting PLC system and temperature control module to precisely control temperature. Traditional thawing methods can not accurately control the temperature.
2. Traditional thawing time is extended. For example, water thawing takes more than 8-10 hours, natural thawing of air may take more than 24 hours. Microwave can go deep into the material and heat directly without heat conduction. The same material microwave equipment can be completed in half an hour.
For frozen meat pieces with a weight of 25 Kg and a shape size of 600 mm x 400 mm x 230 mm, it takes only 2 to 4 minutes for them to be rewarmed to -4 ~2 ~C by microwave thawing equipment at – 18 ~C. Processing capacity is related to meat quality, that is, the dielectric constant of meat. The bigger the meat quality, the smaller the processing capacity of lean meat.
Taking 100 kW microwave thawing equipment as an example, the reference data for theoretical estimation of the thawing capacity of frozen meat from – 18 C are as follows. The actual throughput varies according to the specific situation.
Temperature requirement90% Lean meat50% Lean meat
3. Thawing quality also is the focus of customers' concern. Meat products after natural air thawing have a dark color, while meat products after water thawing show gray-white color. Meat products after microwave thawing are still the same color as fresh meat.

4. The traditional thawing method has a high meat loss rate. As for water loss, other ways generally lose more than 5% of the water, while microwave thawing can be controlled within 1%.
5. At the same time, air thawing and water thawing will produce a large amount of sewage. As an industrial production, it also needs supporting high-cost sewage treatment equipment, while microwave thawing does not need to be used for pollution-free and environmental protection.
6. The microwave thawing equipment is operated by a touch screen, which can set computer operation procedures suitable for the requirements of thawing process specifications and realize fully automatic operation. Moreover, the equipment can run continuously with high reliability.
The effects of different thawing methods on the nutritional composition of meat products were compared.

As shown in the figure, the determination of muscle combinations showed that the muscle moisture content of microwave thawing was significantly higher than that of new control. In addition to the lowest moisture content of air thawing, it may be due to the long time required for air thawing, resulting in more muscle moisture loss.
The content of muscle crude fat and crude protein was significantly lower than that of new control after treatment with different thawing methods. Still, compared with another way, microwave thawing was good for maintaining crude muscle fat and crude protein content. In thawing, the microwave thawing method cannot damage the muscular fibers in meat products and change the internal structure of cells. It could also reduce the rupture of cell membranes, ensure the loss of juice, and reduce nutritional value.
Nowadays, there are many manufacturers producing microwave equipment to thawing and sterilizing. Faced with the microwave thawing equipment produced by many companies, our company ranks first in equipment technology and pays more attention to environmental protection and pollution-free equipment.

About half of immigrant youth of Turkish or North-African origin drop out of high school before getting a diploma. The cause is the low social-economic circumstances of the youth, the other language and the late entrance into high school. This is according to a study of the Open Univesity of Brussels.
Less than 20% of boys and less than 25% of girls of Turkish and North-African origin start higher education. By ethnic Belgians that's 57% of boys and 71% of girls.
More than 40% of Turkish and North-African youth begin secondary education after the age of 12, which means they already have a gap to fill.
The researchers pointed out that it's impossible to catch up on such gaps later on.

Year 5: Ming vases
In Year 5, we have been looking at Chinese blue and white porcelain and have created paintings of Ming vases using a sgraffito technique.
We looked at traditional shapes of vases from the 14th Century onward and decided on a shape for our own vase. The children drew a vertical line to help keep their shape symmetrical. They then used oil pastel to colour in their design:
They painted over their design with white paint and while it was still wet, began to make intricate patterns with the other end of a small paintbrush.
Here are some finished examples:

What is the Average Rank in League of Legends?
A prevalent thing we hear from League of Legends players is that they are "average." But what does that actually mean? Is it in relation to their skill, or perhaps time played? Well, let's find out!
What is the Most Common League of Legends Rank?
Statistically, the most average rank is Silver IV, and it holds about 11% of all players. Silver IV is the ninth rank in the League of Legends ranking system and the first rank of the Silver Division, which alone contains about 40% of the game's player base.
It's also the most popular division to be in.
Therefore, we could say that the Silver Division is a place for players representing average skills.
This division is also where the real tryhard begins, as players compete for additional end-of-season prizes. It bears mentioning that, by every season's end, the rank with the most players shifts to Gold IV, as more and more players manage to grind it out.
How Good is the Average LoL Player?
The skill of average League of Legends players has been climbing steadily over the years. Where in the early days of League of Legends, even knowing every champion was considered an accomplishment, nowadays the picture is a bit different, and far more demanding.
Average LoL players can be considered to have the following skills and knowledge:
- Having an established Champion pool,
- Knowing how to farm minions,
- Knowing the importance of objectives,
- Knowing which Champions are strong in the meta.
What Should Average LoL Players Learn?
Even though the largest amount of players is situated around the Silver and Gold divisions, the path to the ranked peak is long indeed.
Here are a few things that players in the Gold and Silver divisions lack:
- Adapting to enemy picks in draft,
- Pushing ally advantages,
- Punishing enemy mistakes,
- Not throwing the lead,
- Learning macro gameplay,
- Learning wave management,
- Learning how to close out a won game,
- Learning to play from a position of weakness, called playing from behind.
We do not doubt that the primary aspect differentiating an average player from a higher-ranked one is experience and time spent in the game wisely.
If you wonder what to do to get to an above-average level, just play the game, commit some time to practice, and learn from your mistakes without blaming others.


Is Bengal Cat the Same as a Savannah?
In recent times:
Bengal and Savannah cats have gained quite a lot of popularity for they have a lot in common and tend to share the same attributes.
So, is the Bengal cat the same as a Savannah cat? No, it's not. Both being a product of crossbreeding a wild and a domestic cat do have some similarities, but they are certainly not the same. To an untrained eye, these two species might look the same, but for someone who knows better, this is not the case.
Both of these breeds while having a lot in common tend to have many differences too.
Common similarities between the Bengal and Savannah cat
To understand the differences that they have, it is better that we begin by taking a look at some of the similarities that account for this common misconception we have around.
1. Love for water
Both these breeds have a deep fascination with water which is very obvious.
Not only would they cause you less trouble during a bath but they in fact, like playing in the water too, unlike most of the other breeds that we know of.
2. Scratching
As is a common practice amongst all the breeds, these two like to scratch things a lot too.
From sofas to carpets, you can expect to find them scratching just about anything that they can get their hands on.
Hence, the reason, why investing in a scratch post is most rewarding with them.
3. Playful nature
They both are attention seekers and are very affectionate to the ones they love.
Their playful and affectionate nature is the key reason why they make such great domestic cats.
4. Coat
Not only their habits:
But even their appearances seem to have a lot in common too.
Bengal and Savannah cats have coats that are:
 - Tabby
 - Spotted
 - Low-maintenance
5. Genes
This may be the prime reason that accounts for all the confusion that surrounds these two breeds.
Since they both are made by crossbreeding a wild and a domestic cat, one often believes them to be the same. But this isn't so.
Keeping in view the few commonalities mentioned above, would you still go as far ahead as to call them both to be the same?
We hope not.
As similar as they might seem to a layman, they both are poles apart.
What makes the Bengal and Savannah cats different?
From the ancestral lineage to the health issues they both face, there are many differences that you would come across if you bring these two breeds home.
To help your way to it, we will now be taking a quick look at some of the many variances that are found in Bengal and Savannah cats.
1. Breeding
The factor that makes them look similar is the one that makes them have distinguishing personalities and characteristics.
It is true that they both are made by breeding a domestic cat with a wile feline but the types of cats that are used are not the same.
For the Bengal, a domestic cat is made to breed with an ALC, also known as Asian Leopard Cat. A Savannah, on the other hand, is a product of a domestic Persian and an African Serval Cat (ASC).
2. Sizes
It is for the difference in their ancestral lineage, that the size of these two cats varies too.
The Savanah being a product of larger cats can reach the size of a golden retriever occasionally which is around 56inches when measured from the nose to their tail.
Since the ASC has African heritage, they are not only bigger in terms of size but can also weight a lot too. This means that you can find Savannah cats that weigh as much as 30 pounds at times.
When compared to the Savannahs, the Bengals are smaller in size.
The ALCs are smaller cats and this is why the Bengals to end up being medium sized.
A female may range between 7 and 10 pounds while for a male the number can go up to 17 pounds commonly.
The Bengal cats keep growing till they reach an age of two. During this time, they reach the size of a common domestic cat.
3. Temperaments
As discussed above, since the origins of these two breeds vary, the temperaments they both exhibits tend to differ too.
Savannah being from the wilder and more ferocious breed manifests the same behavior and have often been considered to a dog. This breed, for its similarity to canines, is good at leash training and tends to get along well with the other pets that you might have around.
Bengal cats, on the other hand, are active and equally loyal; too but require smaller mental stimuli to remain happy.
Both these breeds are active, highly talkative and very friendly in nature.
The Bengal cat can be seen jumping and playing around for hours at a stretch and would just as suddenly drop everything it was doing to come and receive the overdue affection from is the owner.
The Bengal cat craves attention more than anything and would be all too happy to snuggle and lie around in the lap.
Savannahs are a little different in this regard. While they too are known for being very loving and affectionate, they are not such great snugglers. They are good at solving puzzles and can jump as high as 12ft if given the space to explore the skills that have been passed down to them from their ancestors.
4. Appearance
These two cats might look similar to an outsider but a little closer look and you will see that even their appearances are not the same.
While they do share certain similarities, they both look very different from each other. From the size to the kind of coat they have, each one has its own unique personality.
So moving on, what are some of the many ways that make these two breeds differ from each other?
Let us find that out.
Coat: While the coat is short-haired and low-maintenance for both, the difference lies in the details. Bengal cats have marbled or spotted pattern whereas the Savannahs have a pattern that is similar to the ASC with black spots accentuated by a silver, golden or smoke background.
Body shape: Even the body shape and physique they have is very much different from each other. Bengals are medium-sized and muscular while Savannahs are tall and lean.
Ears: Savannah cats have pointed upright ears whereas the ears of Bengal cars are small and round.
Eyes: Bengal cats are known for their "Mascara" eyes. Savannah has boomerang shaped eyes that are gold, green or brown in color with a tear stain that goes from the corner down to the nose.
5. Health
These both breeds like others that we have in the feline family suffer from health issues of their own.
While most of the problems they face are relatively similar, there are some concerns that lie more with one breed than the other.
For example, Bengal cats are more prone to the retinal degeneration and PK deficiency disease than the Savannahs.
With all this said, it would be safe to say that Bengal cats are certainly not the same as Savannahs cats.
In fact, from our discussion above, these two are more different with respect to their physical attributes than the genetic similarity they share.
So, what kind of pets do they make, you may ask?
Well, it all depends on what you are looking for.
Both were exceptionally good domestic cats are great to have around and would prove to be a good addition to your family.
Depending on what size of cat you are looking for, what attributes and temperaments you would want in it and how much space you have at home, the choice may vary.
Related Questions
How much space do these two breeds need? Owing to their size and temperaments, Savannah cats need more space than Bengal.
This is also essential for the reason that they are more prone to getting into trouble than the other breed in the discussion here.
Are the males of Bengal and Savannahs sterile too? Partly, Yes.
The males that are a part of the earlier generations of these two breeds are sterile as is seen with all the hybrid animals.
This, however, is not much of a concern in regard to their health and characteristics and shouldn't bother you much as well, until and unless you plan on breeding the felines you have at home.
How can you ensure better health of the litter being produced? By working on a healthier and better gene pool.
When using kittens for breeding, take a look at the ancestral lineage and go for the ones which do not have any direct relatives with the health concerns you are trying to avoid here.
However, this is just a safety measure you can take and in no way guarantees that the cat you have wouldn't have any health problems.

Measuring Threshold Performance in Behavioral Experiments
Time: 12:30 pm on Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Place: Savery 409
A primary tool for the experimental psychologist is the use of 'psychophysics', which is the quantitative measurement sensory experience as measured with behavioral responses. A common psychophysical measure is the 'threshold', which is the weakest stimulus needed to be reliably detected. Psychophysicists have standard methods for measuring thresholds which involves concepts and procedures including signal detection theory, maximum likelihood model fitting and bootstrapping. I will provide a general overview of the psychophysical methods for threshold measurement, hopefully in a context that a statistician might find interesting.

Reduce data transfer time with Basic Redirected Folders
With the Basic Redirected Folders setup in Windows, admins can build OUs to reduce data upload and download wait time for employees.
Creating the Secure Managed Desktop
By Jeremy Moskowitz
Basic Redirected Folders works best in two situations:
 - Smaller environments -- such as a doctor's office or storefront -- where all employees sit under one roof
 - In an organization's OU structure that was designed such that similar people are not only in the same OU but are also in the same physical location
The reason these simple scenarios make a good fit with the basic option is that such situations let you redirect the users affected by the policy setting to a server that's close to them. That way, if they do roam within their location, the wait time is minimal to download and upload the data back and forth to the server and their workstation.
In the following example, I've created an OU called LikeUsers who are all using the same local server, DC01. Setting up a basic Redirected Folders for My Documents is a snap. It's a three-step process:
 1. Create a shared folder to store the data.
 2. Set the security on the shared folder.
 3. Create a new GPO and edit it to contain a policy setting to redirect the Documents/MyDocuments folder.
To create and share a folder to store redirected Documents/My Documents data, follow these steps:
 1. Log onto DC01 as Administrator.
 2. From the Desktop, double-click My Computer to open the My Computer folder.
 3. Find a place to create a users folder. In this example, we'll use D:DATA. Once you're inside the D: drive, right-click D: and select the Folder command from the New menu, then type in Data for the name.
 4. Right-click the newly created Data folder, and choose "Share…" which opens the Properties of the folder, focused on the Sharing tab. Pull down the drop-down menu and select Everyone, and then click Add. Note that Windows Server 2003 and 2008 will default such that the share is Everyone:Read. Click "Share" and ensure that the share is set so that Everyone has Coowner permissions, as seen in Figure 3.3. Keep the rest of the defaults, and click OK. (Note that Co-owner rights are almost the same as the "Full Control" rights of yore.)

You can substitute any name for Data. Some use DOCS, MYDOCS, or REDIRDOCS. Some administrators like to use hidden shares, such as Data$, MYDOCS$, or MYDOCUMENTS$. This works well, too.
Be sure that the NTFS permissions allow write access for the users you want, as well. In other words, both the Share level and NTFS permissions must allow the user to write.
