The DataSourcesFile library contains the implementation of the Geodatabase application programming interface (API) for file-based data sources. These file-based data sources include: shapefile, coverage, triangulated irregular network (TIN), computer-aided design (CAD), Smart Data Compression (SDC), StreetMap, and Vector Product Format (VPF).
The DataSourcesFile library is not extended by developers.
See the following sections for more information about this namespace:
Workspace factory classes are the entry point for accessing data with geodatabase objects for any data format. The type of workspace factory you instantiate dictates the type of data that can be handled by the workspace factory object and its derivatives.
To work with an ArcInfo coverage or table data, you must create a workspace factory using the ArcInfoWorkspaceFactory class. After creating a new instance of the ArcInfoWorkspaceFactory object, use the Open or OpenFromFile method to get a Workspace object to work with the data.
The following values are specific to ArcInfoWorkspaceFactory:
The Workspace object is created by ArcInfoWorkspaceFactory when the Open or OpenFromFile methods are used. The class has interfaces with methods that include creating ArcInfo coverages or Info table data, renaming workspaces, and deleting ArcInfo coverages. This class is cocreatable; however, it should only be created by the WorkspaceFactory class.
IArcInfoWorkspace.CreateCoverage creates a new ArcInfo coverage in the referenced workspace. IFeatureDataset is returned and can be used to create new feature classes in the coverage. If a template coverage is not specified or the name is not a valid coverage, the new coverage will only have an empty.tic file. When a template coverage is used, the new coverage will have the same tics—bnd (boundary) and prj (projection). The precision enumerator esriCoveragePrecisionType is used to specify whether the coverage has single precision (seven significant digits for each coordinate) or double precision (15 significant digits for each coordinate). CreateCoverage returns an error if CoverageName is a path (such as D:\data\canada), if it is longer than 13 characters, or if it exists.
IArcInfoWorkspace.CreateInfoTable creates a new Info table in the referenced workspace. The ITable pointer that is returned can be used to add and delete items in the table. The name argument for the name of the new table can be up to 32 characters long, inclusive of the extension. The name cannot be an existing Info table. The table will be created in the workspace used by IArcInfoWorkspace; pathnames are recognized by this method. The ItemSet object must be given, although it does not have to contain any items. If ItemSet contains items, they will be created in the new table.
The ICoverage interface on the FeatureDataset object provides information about coverages and processing operations specific to ArcInfo coverages. This interface can be used to create or update the topology of a coverage and set various tolerances that are used in coverage editing and processing. Tolerance values are considered to be verified if the specified tolerance value has been used to process the coverage, with the exception of the ArcEdit tolerances. Edit, NodeSnap, Weed, Grain, and Snap are verified as soon as they have been explicitly set.
The FeatureDataset object is shown in the following diagram:
The Table object is a collection of ArcInfo items (columns) and rows. All types of data use tables to store information about their features, but with ArcInfo, the data is stored in an Info table.
The Table object is shown in the following diagram:
The IArcInfoTable interface is used to access and modify the items in the Info table. With this interface, you can add or delete items, add or delete an index for an item, and change the properties of an item. This interface is also used to get the ArcInfo Items Collection information, which you can use to get or set information for individual items.
A FeatureClass object is a collection of features that have the same feature type and set of attributes. The FeatureClass object is shown in the following diagram:
The ICoverageFeatureClass interface provides information on an individual feature class of an ArcInfo coverage.
The ArcInfoItems coclass represents the item set, or collection of items, in an Info table. This coclass is similar to the Fields object that is used with tables from other data types. The ArcInfoItems object is an ordered collection of items, and the collection behaves similar to a list, so it is possible to access individual fields by a numbered position (or index) in the list. This class contains two interfaces. The IArcInfoItems interface is used to get the number of items, the index of an item, or an item object. The IArcInfoItemsEdit interface is used when creating or modifying an ArcInfoItems collection. For example, you can create a new ArcInfoItem object and add items to it, or you can get an item collection from an ArcInfo feature class and add or remove items from it.
ArcInfoItem has many properties, the most obvious being its name and its data type. Use the IArcInfoItems interface to get the properties of an ArcInfo item. UseIArcInfoItemEdit to set the properties of an ArcInfo item. The esriArcInfoItemType enumeration lists the possible data types for an ArcInfo item.
A CoverageName object identifies and locates a dataset object and supports methods to instantiate the actual named object. A name object can be used as a lightweight surrogate of the actual object until further properties of the object are needed or additional methods on the object need to be called. The CoverageName object is shown in the following diagram:
The CoverageName object can be used to retrieve information on the type of coverage, the coverage contents, and the coverage metadata. It can also be used to find the coverage type, which is based on the highest level of dimension, for the feature classes contained. Level of dimension refers to the number of dimensions used to measure the features—for example, a point has an x and a y value; a line has length in addition to these values; and polygons, in addition, have area.
A CoverageFeatureClassName object identifies and locates a feature class in a coverage; it is used for obtaining basic properties of the feature class without having to open (instantiate) it. The CoverageFeatureClassName object is shown in the following diagram:
The ICoverageFeatureClassName interface has the same properties as the ICoverageFeatureClass interface: FeatureClassType (if there is an attribute table) and Topology.
The ICadDrawingWorkspace interface on the Workspace object is used to open a CAD dataset. From the ICadDrawingDataset interface that is returned, you can retrieve CAD-specific information about the dataset (such as its path), if it's from AutoCad, or if it's a.dgn file.
StreetMap objects allow you to build routes between locations. There are objects to define the intermediate and final stops of the route, objects for adjusting the search parameters, a routing task solver object, as well as objects that provide details of the result path geometry and driving directions.
The first step when creating a route is to create the solver objects factory using SMRouterFactory. Call ISMRouterFactory.CreateRouter, passing in the path to your routing data to create an SMRouter object and return the ISMRouter interface.
To find a route, create an SMPointsCollection object and add your stops to this collection. This object is passed to ISMRouter.Solve, which builds the route and returns the ISMDirections interface that contains the resulting path geometry and driving directions texts.
You can control how the route is built using the following ISMRouter interface members:
 - Preferences—Changes the highways-local roads preference for the router.
 - NetAttributeName—Controls whether the quickest or shortest route will be built by the router.
 - Barriers—Used to disable routing network points.
 - TripPlanSettings—Configures time frames for driving and resting periods of the trip.
 - ReorderStops—Automatically optimizes the order of several stops (traveling salesperson problem).

Today's Machining World Archive: March 2007, Vol.3, Issue 03
Dear Shop Doc,
We are a job shop manufacturing turned parts on screw machines and CNC lathes for a variety of customers and industries. On parts with multiple diameters some customers call out a concentricity specification. Others will use run-out and some show a position requirement. Aren't they really all asking for the same thing? Why do they say it three ways, and can they be used interchangeably?
Call of Confusion
Concentricity, run-out and position are all methods that can be used to control the "coaxiality" of part features. "Concentricity" is still a term commonly used by designers and machinists when describing how much deviation is allowed between coaxial diameters. There are however, significant and sometimes critical differences between the three terms as described in the current standard ASME Y14.5M-1994. This standard has been adopted by the Department of Defense and the majority of companies in the pubic domain. It is generally recognized as the last-word regarding dimensioning and tolerancing issues in the USA.
Regarding "concentricity," the standard specifies that the median points of all diametrically opposed elements are on the axis of a datum feature. The standard does not say that the features have to be circular or that there is any rotation around the datum axis. This means that this control can apply to any shape feature such as an ellipse, rectangle, square, etc. The measuring method used is generally very complicated and usually not necessary. In most cases concentricity may be what the designer is asking for but is not the appropriate control for turned parts.
The "run-out" definition states that there is "rotation about an axis." It also mentions that the tolerance can be expressed as "full indicator movement." From the designer's perspective, run-out is usually the proper control for rotating applications such as a pulley on a shaft. From a manufacturing perspective, run-out has the advantage of being checked with simple and low cost measuring equipment. When you are rotating a part on a pin or in a collet fixture and sweeping a diameter with a dial indicator, you are in fact checking run-out, not concentricity.
"Position" is usually the least used of the three controls but has many advantages in both design and manufacturing. When defining position, the standard talks about the "actual mating envelope" of the features. This means that the size of the feature can also be considered in the equation. A good application for position would be two or more internal diameters that assemble to a mating part with outside diameters. If the design intent only requires the part to assemble without interference, this control is a good choice. A position control allows you to use a simple "hard" gage that simulates the mating part. It also allows you to play with the relationship between size and coaxiality. It is then possible to take advantage of the things your process does well (size control on a CNC) and get some relief on the things you have less control over (run-out between two chuckings). If you understand the function of the part and have a dialog with your customer, suggest position as a possible alternative to concentricity or run-out for these applications

constraints flowing from the state-subject fiduciary relationship itself.
3 Responses
 1. I haven't read the article yet, but the overview given here sounds fascinating.
 2. I'll perhaps comment more when I read the paper and find the time but for now permit me to say that while I welcome an articulate defense of jus cogens norms, I'm not inclined to look with favor upon the "state as a fiduciary" model, even if the parents/cities analogy has impressive philosophical and legal pedigree, being an important part of the argument made by the Laws to Socrates in Plato's Crito, indeed, this is our earliest account of political obligation. Both this analogy and the fiduciary model appeal, as A. John Simmons has explained, to two special relationships: benefactor-beneficiary and parent-child, "neither of which need be entered voluntarily, and both of which are ordinarily take to ground special obligations." The appeal of this model has understandably persisted into our own time, if only because there is a measure of truth to it. If your argument is to persuade, it seems we need to find the idea that filial obligations are analogous to political obligations compelling, which I suspect those who identify with Lockean political philosophy, philosophical anarchism, and libertarianism, do not (nor, if I'm not mistaken, did Kant himself). That said, I look forward to reading the paper, as I'm constitutionally drawn to any sophisticated argument on behalf of jus cogens norms that appreciates the fact that such norms are best understood as transcending the consensual nature of an appeal to customary international law, which precludes them from being universally binding in character (as Larry May notes, 'such norms can be part of customary international law and still be non-consensual as long as the non-consensual nature of these norms is not thought to derive from their being originally consensual').
 3. I appreciate the effort to establish a more persuasive theory of jus cogens norms, or perhaps more accurately, universal human rights. I am just not sure this formulation is any more persuasive than others.
 On a quick reading of the article, this analogy seems only to fully support a theory of jus cogens norms over a state's internal governance. To extend the familial analogy outside the "family" – to those "outsiders" who are or become otherwise subject to a state's sovereign power under every circumstance – seems too much weight for the analogy to bear. This is represented in two key analytical extensions of the argument.
 (1) "Just as the fiduciary principle governs the domestic exercise of sovereign power, it may also be thought to underlie the authority of international law to regulate the distribution of sovereignty, for in both cases the dignity of the people subject to sovereign power is at stake." The arguments over humanitarian intervention belie the notion that there is or will be a uniform view of such norms.
 (2) Then comes the "citizen of the world" extension of this notion to support the conclusion that: "On the fiduciary view, states owe every individual subject to state power a fiduciary obligation to respect their human rights because every agent so situated is peculiarly vulnerable to state power. The exercise of state power over vulnerable noncitizens engages the fiduciary principle because state power is always quintessentially fiduciary in nature; it is always purposeful, other-regarding, and institutional in character—and it retains this fiduciary character regardless of whether it is exercised over a citizen or a foreign national. As consequence, exercises of state power over noncitizens trigger a fiduciary obligation that requires the state to respect noncitizens' human rights. Thus, in the conduct of foreign affairs, states must respect the rights of nonsubjects enshrined under jus cogens."
 These are theoretically unsatisfying for the many of the same reasons other theories are unsatisfying. They undermine the fundamental basis for international law, sovereignty. They also undermine the ultra-positivist modern view of the sources of international law (at least outside of the human rights realm). The point is admitted in the article where the authors state: "Just as there is no need to pretend that sovereignty arises from the consent of the people, there is no need to pretend that jus cogens norms arise from state consent or interstate associational duties."
 The reason the fiduciary theory cannot encompass all currently theorized notions of jus cogens norms (against piracy, for example) is because it does not (or even pretend to – as the last quote above indicates) describe jus cogens norms that govern the relationship of states and their nationals inter se. It is an odd sort of "international law" that fails to do so. Indeed, it is possible to argue (as some recent administrations have unfortunately done) that a state's internal fiduciary obligations, in some circumstances, are contrary to supposed external obligations. Thus we have heard arguments for torture and preemptive self defense (to take both individualized and nationalized examples).
 Again, I do not here argue for or against notions of universal human rights. I merely suggest that the fiduciary theory offers no particular advantage in arguing for their existence than do other arguments the authors survey.

Forgive me for asking something that is probably explained elsewhere, but I am having trouble designing a data model in Cassandra.
I am storing transactions. These transactions each have a source (user), a timestamp, and some associated keywords. I need to be able to find transactions given the source and a date range and (optional) keywords. Cassandra is attractive because I need to store billions of transactions.
I have been unable to find a resource that explains how to do this type of thing. My initial thoughts involve having a few CFs - a transaction CF, a keyword_transaction CF, a source_transaction CF, and possible a day_transaction CF (or something similar). This would make it very straight forward to find transactions based on any one of the above items, but it doesn't seem like it will let me search on all of the above items.
Any thoughts?

Start by thinking your query and then to your data model. Read here and here as this help when you plan for your data model.
cf : transactions
rowkey : source/uuid (suggestion)
 cn : source
 cv : UTF8
 cn : keyword
 cv : UTF8
 cn : date
 cv : DateType
 cn : time
 cv : DateType
cf : keywords
rowkey : keyword
 cn : source
 cv : UTF8
where you will have a standard column family called transactions and a few column name (cn) and its corresponding column value (cv). Each of these transaction are identify by the rowkey. Another standard column family is the keywords where the rowkey would be the keyword.
You can search by source, timestamp or keyword but you do need to index them for the query to work. For example with the above suggestion data structure, you can do these:
 - get all transaction where source is equal to ''
 get transactions where source = ''
 - get all transaction where source is equal to '' and your date > ''
 get transactions where source = '' and date > '';
 - get all transaction for date x
 get transactions where date = '';
 - get all source name based on keyword
 get keywords['keyword'];

As with prototype trains, gauge is the measure of the distance between the rails. Standard Gauge has two different meanings with model trains:
1. On prototype railroads in most of the world, the majority of tracks are laid in a common, or "standard" gauge. This gauge of 4 feet 8.5 inches began evolving as the standard as early as the 1840s. By sharing a common gauge, connecting railroad companies can interchange, or exchange cars.
Most model train scales are also built to confirm to a common gauge that at least approximates standard gauge. Most O scale trains are built to an even 5 foot gauge. G gauge trains share a common gauge but are actually sized differently to make that gauge appear either standard or narrow.
Trains running on tracks wider or more narrow than 56.5" are said to be broad or narrow gauge respectively. Narrow gauge trains are far more common. These too are modeled in almost every scale. For model trains, a narrow gauge is indicated by the letter "n" after the scale, followed by a number which indicates the gauge. "On3" would be 3' narrow gauge in O scale for example.
2. With model trains, standard gauge can also refer to a size of model trains produced by Joshua Lionel Cowen (Lionel) from 1906 to 1939. These trains were slightly larger than the O scale trains which superseded them with an actual track gauge of 2 1/8". Lionel began producing O scale trains, with a gauge of 1 1/4", in 1915.
Today, these original standard gauge trains are highly collectible and can bring big money in good condition. Reproductions have also been made by several companies.

, sustain it while you continue to practice your Heart Focus, Heart-Focused Breathing and Heart Feeling.
Heart Lock-In Technique
Hold the feeling of genuine love or care for someone or something in your life. Send this feeling of love and care towards yourself, extending it to the boundaries of the electro-magnetic field that surrounds your body, then expand it to flow outwards towards others and to the wider world in the form of waves of energy. If you experience uncomfortable, anxious feelings, send love and compassion to those feelings. Befriending a negative feeling and sending compassion to it can release or dissolve the blockage. These exercises will gradually strengthen your conscious connection to your heart, build up resilience and the ability to be aware of subtle changes in its rhythm.

The Antibody Light-Chain Linker Is Important for Domain Stability and Amyloid Formation
Journal of Molecular Biology, Volume 427, Issue 22, Pages 3572–3586, doi:10.1016/j.jmb.2015.09.012
The association of light chains (LCs) and heavy chains is the basis for functional antibodies that are essential for adaptive immune responses. However, in some cases, LCs and especially fragments consisting of the LC variable (VL) domain are pathologically deposited in fatal aggregation diseases. The two domains of the LC are connected by a highly conserved linker. We show here that, unexpectedly, the linker residue Arg108 affects the conformational stability and folding of both VLκ and LC constant (CLκ) domains. Interestingly, the extension of VL by Arg108 results in its resistance to amyloid formation, which suggests that the nature of the truncation of the LC plays a crucial role in disease progression. Increased solvation due to the exposed charged C-terminal Arg108 residue explains its stabilizing effects on the VL domain. For the CL domain, the interaction of N-terminal loop residues with Arg108 is important for the integrity of the domain, as the disruption of this interaction results in fluctuation, partial opening of the protein's interior and the exposure of hydrophobic residues that destabilize the domain. This establishes new principles for antibody domain architecture and amyloidogenicity.

With increasing interest in creating realistic characters, be they
human or animal, animators, modelers and engineers continue to push
the boundaries of the possible. Exploring such concepts as human
body deformation, hair modeling and editing, and modeling and rendering
of realistic feathers, this paper strove to shed some light on advancements
in the area.
In terms of the hair modeling approach described, it succeeded where
others fell short - enabling modeling of complex hair. This multiresolution
hair model can be edited to create extremely complex hairstyles.
Rendering with shadows and controlling antialiasing filters further
extends the system's capabilities, creating impressive results.
In terms of future prospects, the speaker mentioned that his team
is currently looking into animating their model.
In the hopes of creating a complete pipeline
to model and render feathers systematically, many factors need to be taken into account. To model individual
feathers, the mesostructure of each feather blade must
be captured. The complexity of the system increases due to the fact
that there are different types of feathers on different parts of
a bird. The system presented dealt with issues concerning the
addition of these thousands of feathers to the bird. To minimize
overhead, the technique is based on structured feather anatomy. Details of
the individual feathers are never stored. Instead, their compact
representation is stored. Adding randomness to feathers, by inserting
random gaps (such as those created when a twig catches the feather)
further adds to their realism.
Be it through the use of techniques to create realistic body deformations,
hairstyles, feathers or eye movement, technological advances continue
to challenge our perception of reality. Already we find ourselves
asking what is real and what is not. It seems that the future promises
to more fully, if not completely, wipe away this uncertainty.

New standards mean harder reading. What does that mean for students? Well, books that used to be acceptable for high school are now deemed too easy. The following opinion article argues that lawmakers should take content into account before passing educational laws. In fact, now according to Common Core Standards, Night should be taught to elementary school students. This article argues that the content of Night, and not the lexile range, make this book required reading for high school students.
"No fourth grader would understand the cultural oppressions and the complex themes in 'Of Mice and Men,' and the Holocaust in Wiesel's 'Night,' of which the author was a survivor. The actual content of the books need to be brought into question before we say what is or isn't appropriate for English classes or young readers."

An investigation on peer feedback for EFL students ages 10 to 14 /
Schram, Elizabeth M.
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to leam more about how EFL (English as Foreign Language) students interacted during peer feedback conferences. Thirty EFL students from Mexico aged 10 to 14 years old participated in this study. The following four main questions were addressed: 1. What criteria did the students use to evaluate their peers' writing? 2. What revisions were made in relation to peer feedback comments? 3. What was the students' behaviour like during peer feedback conferences? 4. What were the students' perceived attitudes concerning peer feedback conferences? Each of the 30 students wrote a first and a second draft and then took part in a peer feedback conference. All students were interviewed and asked to rate a story and provide a peer feedback comment for the author during interview. The study found that the EFL students were able to provide comments to their peers' writing, but only after their third conference were they actually able to provide higher level comments. The majority of students said that they liked peer feedback sessions. The results also indicated that the students needed more practice with their revisions because they did not make a lot of revisions to make their writing clearer with fewer mistakes. This study concludes that there still needs to be further research. First of all, it would be useful to conduct a similar study with EFL students but one that is conducted over a longer period of time in order to determine if the students continued to develop their peer feedback comments and revision strategies.

Submitted to: Sugar Tech
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: November 1, 2011
Publication Date: N/A
Interpretive Summary: The paper summarizes the current status of managing diseases in sugarcane, forecasts changes that are accruing due to population increases, social changes and agronomic practices, probable technological advancements and their affect on diseases and their management. All trends predict increased demand for sugar for food and sugarcane as both a food and bio-fuel crop. Almost all countries with the possible exception of Brazil have reached their maximum acreage that can be used for growing sugarcane. Increased yields will have to come as a result of increased inputs such as fertilizers and increased irrigation and the development of cultivars with higher yield potentials. Although higher yield potentials have been obtained by many countries with active sugarcane breeding and cultivar development programs the rate of progress has slowed n these mature industries. Thus, higher yield potential will be the most challenging.
Technical Abstract: Sugarcane pathology and disease control practices are changing due to social, economic and technological events. Sugarcane is becoming more important economically because of the increasing price and demand for sugar and its use for bio-energy. These pressures make the control of diseases more important. Disease diagnosis has advanced where molecular PCR and RT-PCR are routine in most major sugarcane research institutes. In the future these assays will become even more commonplace. Development of resistant cultivars will continue via traditional breeding but cultivar development programs will be assisted by new technology. All the pressures will result in more rapid changes in cultivars to maximize sugarcane yields.

Steel plate rolling is often done to create full cylinders or cylinder segments. These parts often have bevels to facilitate the welding of the curved steel sections. The bevels can be required on either the longitudinal seam of a cylinder or on the circumferential seam between two cylinders or end plates. Cylinder segments can also be beveled on all sides. There are several types of bevels. In general an edge that is beveled is not perpendicular to the face of the steel plate. It is often at 45 degrees to the face. The image below shows two bevels. The second is sometimes called a chamfer but the two terms are often used interchangeably.
At times plates are welded together without any bevel but with only a tight fit or a slight gap between the plates.
Plates can be singly or doubly beveled to perform a V-groove weld.
When only one edge of the steel plate is beveled and the other edge is left square, then a bevel groove weld can be performed.
There are other methods of beveling and welding but these are the most common. Clear and complete communication between the customer seeking the plate rolling, beveling, and welding services and the supplier will guarantee that the parts will meet the required specifications.

Game Review
Super Yum Yum: Puzzle Adventures Review
Europe PAL Version
Posted by Marcel van Duyn
Fairly yummy
First released for mobile phones and iPhone, Super Yum Yum is a puzzle game in which you play as Leon the chameleon, attempting to recover all your children and your large supply of fruit, all of which have been stolen by Ms. Tum Tum, a big blue creature with a large appetite.
After a quick tutorial level you'll be thrust into action immediately. The game is divided into four worlds, each of which has 12 stages. You can only tackle four of these stages at a time; to access the next four, you'll have to collect a certain amount of fruit in the already open stages. If you just make it a point to collect all fruit in every stage, you'll be fine: eventually you'll even be able to reach the next four stages without even playing any of the current ones.
The actual gameplay in each of the stages is fairly straightforward: simply collect all the fruit! Chameleons have fairly long tongues, and you'll be taking advantage of that. Most stages have a large number of gaps, with fruit on the other side, and you can even use your tongue to grab them and pull yourself across. It won't be long until stages also have Leon's children for you to rescue. They're collected in the same way as fruit, however, if you grab them from across a gap, you'll pull them towards yourself, rather than the other way around.
Leon's children start off being unimportant, but very quickly come into play. Certain stages feature extra large fruit, which require you to have one or more of your children with you before becoming edible. The amount of chameleons (including yourself) necessary to eat one will be depicted on it, so try to devise a path through the stage which allows you to get children before finding any large fruit.
But everything is not as simple as it sounds. All fruit has different colours, which signifies that Leon can only eat it when he himself is the same colour. All fruit also has leaves on top, which in most cases is a different colour from the fruit itself. After eating a fruit, you'll turn into the colour of the leaves, so most levels only have one or two possible solutions, as you'll have to eat everything in a very speciifc order.
Of course, you're likely to make a mistake or two some time, and the developers have thought of that, incorporating a rewind button that allows you to go one step back as many times as you want, all the way back to the very beginning of the level.
Once you've beaten a world, you'll actually have to fight a boss battle, something quite strange for a game like this. Leon's children play a role once more here, as you'll have to get past an even larger piece of fruit. A power bar will appear on screen with a slider automatically going from left to right – you'll have to stop it within a highlighted section of the bar to successfully fling one of your children at the fruit.
Once you've thrown all your kids, you'll have to continue stopping the slider in the correct section of the bar in order to start eating away at the fruit. The amount of kids you threw at it successfully determines how fast it'll go down, so if you rescued all kids and managed to throw all of them onto the fruit, you're far likelier to win within the time limit.
Although the gameplay is quite addicting, strangely the rest of the game is a bit lacking. Other versions, such as the one for iPhone, looked very clean and smooth, but the DSiWare release is noticeably uglier, and the game's small number of cutscenes all run very choppily. By far the worst is the music, as you'll only hear any on the level select screens: during actual gameplay, the game is completely silent, save for the sounds Leon and his kids make. The level select music would've been perfectly fine for the actual levels as well, so we wonder why the developers didn't simply do that.
On the whole, Super Yum Yum is a pretty fun game. With 48 increasingly hard levels, it will last you a good few hours, at least if you're trying to collect everything. The graphics and (near lack of) music will be off-putting to some, but there's nothing a stereo or a music player on your computer can't solve.

The trailer for this looked fun.
Without music however, I will have to skip this one and wait for DodoGo!
Froggievilleus said:
This is a cute game. And Leon makes noises when eating fruit and such. And to be honest, I usually have the sound off and listen to other stuff while playing games.
Bankai said:
The review doesn't mention how clever the puzzles are in this game - it's really taxing on the brain in places, but at the same time, it's never stressful.
It's actually one of the better puzzlers on DSiWare.

Draft PH customs rule guides handling of stores aboard foreign air, sea craft
The Philippine Department of Finance (DOF) and Bureau of Customs (BOC) have released the draft administrative order that will implement the provisions of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) on how to use different types of stores aboard international vessels and aircraft.
"Air stores" refer to items supplied for consumption or use on board an aircraft, such as supplies for crew and passengers, while "stores in vessel" are articles, especially foodstuff, that are for use or consumption only by the passengers and crew on board the vessel upon its voyage. "Ships' stores," meanwhile, consist of spare equipment such as chains, anchor, and the likes that are necessary to safely navigate the ship.
Position papers on the draft CAO are accepted until April 20, the same day as the holding of a public hearing.
The draft CAO, which is subject to public scrutiny, will cover stores—whether sold or not—for use or consumption by passengers and crew on board vessels or aircraft engaged in foreign trade.
It also covers stores carried by vessels or aircraft that will dock or land at one or more ports or airports in customs territory, to be used or consumed on board during the stay of these transport craft at these intermediate ports or airports and during their voyage or flight between such ports or airports.
Its scope includes stores for sale to the passengers and the crew of vessels or aircraft with a view to being landed, which are either on board upon arrival or are taken on board during the stay in the customs territory of vessels or aircraft.
Lastly, it covers supplies needed by the vessels or aircraft on their voyage or flight out of the Philippines, including those goods transferred from a customs facility warehouse to the aircraft.
The draft CAO states that BOC requires the submission of a Stores List of inflight commissary items, including duty-free bonded items, that are arriving at the customs territory. Upon departure, no separate declaration concerning stores is required from the vessels or aircraft.
Inflight duty-free items and catering supplies and equipment delivered to the aircraft from a bonded warehouse are to be covered by the Stores List.
BOC will devise a uniform Stores List that must be accomplished and signed by the shipping lines and airlines, and submitted to the customs officer once the vessel or aircraft arrives or leaves.
The draft notes that importations of stores arriving at the Customs territory will be exempt from duties and taxes, subject to certain circumstances.
For international aircraft that intends to land at one or more airports in each port of entry, BOC will establish procedures for the transport and delivery of stores needed during the stay of the aircraft at such intermediate airports and during its flight between such airports.
Stores will not be have to go through physical examination by BOC except if there is derogatory information or alert order issued against them by the commissioner or authorized customs officer. BOC will be applying risk management principles when conducting a physical examination of stores.

The kolo, three-step kolo and six-step kolo, is a very popular folk dance in the current dance practice of Serbia and a vital form of traditional culture. It is performed by interlinked dancers, where the first and last one have a distinct role in determining the progression of the dance, which usually unfolds along a semi-circular line, and only rarely along a spiral or a serpentine line. The kolo is always performed to the accompaniment of music; the dancers follow the music by performing various types of steps. The basic pattern of the steps involves moving to the right, hopping at the same spot, and then, moving to the left and hopping at the same spot, with continuous hopping. Kolo dancing is an indispensable part of all gatherings, private and public celebrations, and it is performed by members of all social, professional and age groups, both in rural and urban environments.
Kolo is a segment of performing arts that is present in the entire territory of Serbia. Along with the Serbian Orthodox population, which considers it as national identity trait, it is also performed by other ethnic and confessional communities.
The kolo, as a traditional folk dance, has been inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017.

Inspiration at the Divine Fountain
Angel Moroni
In early January 1892, Zina Young and Emmeline Wells met in Salt Lake City with other members of the Relief Society general board to plan a "jubilee" commemoration of the Relief Society's fiftieth anniversary. The board wanted Latter-day Saint women throughout the world to join in the celebration, so they sent a letter to every Relief Society in the Church, encouraging them to hold a jubilee of their own.1
After extending "a heartfelt greeting" to all sisters, the letter asked the presidency of each Relief Society to invite their members and priesthood leaders to the local jubilee and to appoint an organizing committee to plan the event. Each celebration was to begin at ten o'clock in the morning on March 17, the day the Relief Society was first organized in Nauvoo, and unite two hours later in a "universal prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God."2
Zina relied heavily on Emmeline to help organize the jubilee in Salt Lake City to everyone's satisfaction. And by the beginning of March, Emmeline was steeped in planning. "I am trying to do what is possible toward the preparations for the jubilee," she wrote in her diary. "I am more busy than ever."3
The Relief Society board planned to hold the Salt Lake City jubilee in the tabernacle. For decorations, they wanted to hang large portraits of Joseph Smith, Emma Smith, Eliza R. Snow, and Zina Young behind the pulpit.4
Since Emma Smith, the first president of the Relief Society, had stayed in Illinois and joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, some people believed hanging her portrait in the tabernacle was inappropriate. When debate grew intense, Zina asked President Wilford Woodruff his view on displaying the portrait. "Anyone who opposes it," he said, "must be very narrow-minded indeed."5
On the day of the jubilee, all four portraits hung on the tabernacle organ pipes. Beside them was a key-shaped floral arrangement symbolizing the key Joseph Smith had turned to women in 1842.6 Zina and Emmeline sat on the stand with Bathsheba Smith, Sarah Kimball, Mary Isabella Horne, and other women who had advanced the Relief Society's mission over the last fifty years. Thousands of Relief Society members were crowded into the tabernacle. Many men were also present, including Joseph F. Smith and two members of the Twelve.7
Zina opened the jubilee, mindful that women across the Church were celebrating the occasion. "O that my words could be heard by all people," she said, "not only by you my brethren and sisters in this tabernacle and throughout Utah, but that they might be heard and understood by all the people of this continent, and not only this continent but the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the islands of the sea."
"As sisters of this organization, we have been set apart for the purpose of comforting and consoling the sick and afflicted, the poor and distressed," she added. "If we continue to do these things in the spirit thereof, the Lord, at the time when He comes to make up His jewels, will approve of us."
"What does this woman's jubilee signify?" Emmeline asked the congregation at the close of the meeting. "Not only that fifty years ago this organization was founded by a prophet of God, but that woman is becoming emancipated from error and superstition and darkness; that light has come into the world, and the gospel has made her free; that the key of knowledge has been turned, and she has drunk inspiration at the divine fountain."8
Around this time, Charles Eliot, the president of Harvard University, visited Salt Lake City on a tour of the western United States. Charles was impressed with the small group of Latter-day Saints who had come to Harvard the year before, and he had accepted an invitation to speak in the tabernacle.
Seven thousand people attended the short speech. Charles championed religious liberty and praised the Saints' hard work and industry, comparing them favorably to the early English settlers who founded Harvard.9 Later, after the Salt Lake Tribune and other newspapers criticized his favorable view of the Saints, Charles went on to defend them.
"I think they should now be treated, as regards their property rights and their freedom of thought and worship, precisely like Roman Catholics, Jews, Methodists, or any other religious denomination," he declared.10
Sitting in the audience were Anna Widtsoe, her sister Petroline, and Anna's fourteen-year-old son, Osborne. Nearly a year had passed since John, Anna's older son, had gone to Harvard, and Anna was impressed with the distinguished speaker who thought so highly of the Latter-day Saint students there.11
The Widtsoes were now living with Petroline in the Salt Lake City Thirteenth Ward, which had enough Scandinavian Saints to make testimony meetings a multilingual occasion. Osborne worked at the Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution store on Main Street while Anna and Petroline worked as dressmakers. Osborne and his mother also attended weekly lectures at the local stake academy.12
During the first weekend in April, snow fell in Salt Lake City as though it were the middle of winter. The morning of Wednesday, April 6, was bright and clear, however, as Anna and Osborne joined over forty thousand people on and around Temple Square to see the capstone of the Salt Lake temple fitted into place at the top of the east central spire. The dome-shaped stone was designed to support Cyrus Dallin's twelve-foot sculpture of an angel, which would be fastened to it later that day. Once the capstone and angel were in place, the exterior of the temple would be complete, leaving only the interior to finish before the dedication.13
The streets surrounding the temple were jammed with buggies. Some spectators stood on wagons, climbed telegraph poles, or scaled rooftops for a better view.14 As the Widtsoes stood amid the teeming crowd, they could see President Wilford Woodruff and other Church leaders on a platform at the base of the temple.
After a band played and the Tabernacle Choir sang, Joseph F. Smith offered the opening prayer. Church architect Joseph Don Carlos Young, the son of Brigham Young and Emily Partridge, then shouted down from scaffolding at the top of the temple, "The capstone is now ready to be laid!"15
President Woodruff moved to the edge of the platform, looked out at the Saints, and raised his arms high. "All ye nations of the earth!" he said. "We will now lay the topstone of the temple of our God!" He pushed a button, and a current of electricity released a catch that dropped the capstone into place.16
Afterward, the Saints gave the Hosanna Shout and sang "The Spirit of God like a Fire Is Burning." Apostle Francis Lyman then stood before the crowd. "I propose," he said, "that this assemblage pledge themselves, collectively and individually, to furnish, as fast as it may be needed, all the money that may be required to complete the temple at the earliest time possible, so that the dedication may take place on April 6th, 1893."
The proposed date would be the fortieth anniversary of the day Brigham Young laid the temple cornerstones. George Q. Cannon called for a sustaining vote on the proposal, and the Saints raised their right hands and shouted, "Aye!"17
Francis pledged a large sum of his own money to complete the temple. Anna pledged five dollars for herself and ten dollars for Osborne. Knowing that John would want to pledge money as well, she contributed ten more dollars in his name.18
That spring, Joseph F. Smith visited the home of sixty-three-year-old James Brown. As a much younger man, James had marched with the Mormon Battalion and served a mission to Tahiti and its surrounding islands with Addison and Louisa Pratt, Benjamin Grouard, and others. While laboring on the Anaa atoll in 1851, however, James had been arrested on false charges of sedition and taken to Tahiti, where he was imprisoned and eventually banished from the islands.19 The government had forced the other missionaries to leave as well, and the mission had been closed ever since.
Now, some forty years later, Church leaders had begun expanding missionary work in the South Pacific. In July 1891, the Samoan mission had sent two young elders, Brigham Smoot and Alva Butler, to begin preaching in Tonga. Six months later, two other missionaries from the Samoan mission, Joseph Damron and William Seegmiller, renewed missionary work in French Polynesia, ministering to the long-isolated Saints in and around Tahiti.20
But Joseph Damron was unwell, and he and William had found that nearly all the Latter-day Saints in the area had joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which had sent missionaries to the South Pacific several years earlier. Both men believed the mission needed someone with more experience to lead the work in the area.21

 Hints & Tips on Movement in FEAR 2: Project Origin
 FEAR 2: Project Origin hints & tips
 Jump -- All members of the Special Forces in FEAR 2: Project Origin are outstanding athletes that have developed and trained their bodies to be finely tuned machines that can fight all day. You can easily jump gaps and chasms, scale crates, hurdle rails, and even jump through windows when necessary. You just need to face toward the object in question and jump to execute the necessary movements. Just make sure to take a look out a window or to check the width of a jump before attempting it because you can only fall a short distance before you'll be injured or killed. Find out more in this FEAR 2 Project Origin game guide.

 Moving in Dark Environments in FEAR 2: Project Origin
 Watch out for the things that go bump in the night Darkness -- There are missions in FEAR 2: Project Origin where a majority of the game time occurs at night and in dark indoor areas where you're in danger from enemies you can't see. In these environments you can also miss important features of the environments or useful items that will keep you alive. The designers have provided you with a flashlight to help you move about and see in these dark environments, so you won't miss important elements. But your flashlight can also provide your enemy with information they can use to ambush you if the enemy sees your light before you see them. Don't use your flashlight all the time, turn it on for a few seconds and memorize the lay of the environment and then turn it off, before moving. Also, pay close attention to the distance that you flash the light from your flashlight, and travel a distance each time you move through the dark environment within the effective firing range of your weapon. Moving through the environment in this way will limit the visibility of your light and make sure that any enemy that see your light are within effective range and can be eliminated quickly.

 Crouch and Cover In FEAR 2: Project Origin
 Trying to stay alive Crouch and Cover - Crouch down to avoid fire, duck beneath objects, and to slip through areas like air ducts and other narrow areas. Make use of the cover provided by walls and crates by crouching behind them to limit the amount of your body exposed to enemy fire. In really intense firefights overturn tables, benches, or whatever moveable object is available and crouch behind it for better cover.
 - Whenever you approach or are near an object that you can use as effective cover the game will provide an on screen prompt telling you that you can overturn the object in question.
 - Your opponents will also overturn objects in the environments to provide themselves with cover from your fire. If you can't get a lock on an opponent behind cover throw a "cooked" grenade behind their cover.
 - slide 4 of 5
 Sprinting in FEAR 2: Project Origin
 Sprint -- As a highly trained athlete you are able to sprint quickly across spaces instead of walk, which helps to keep you health in a number of different situations. Use sprint to quickly cover the distance between you and an enemy when you want to get up close and to escape or avoid fatal situations. When you're sprinting your gun will be lowered and your rate of movement will increase as you move about the screen. You can also unleash a melee attack while sprinting which will result in you executing a sliding kick that will instantly kill a medium sized opponent.

Civil rights legislation
Seattle expands definition of service animal
When you think of a service animal, you probably think of a dog sitting next to someone who's blind. But under new civil rights legislation in Seattle, the city defines " service animal" as:
"any animal a doctor deems medically necessary."
Julie Nelson, director of Seattle's Office for Civil Rights, says the change recognizes that all sorts of animals are now helping people with disabilities.
"There are birds, for example, that can tell when seizures are about to come on."
Nelson says, under the new law, if a doctor determines a disabled person needs a bird or a miniature horse or any other animal, the person cannot be discriminated against for using them, even if a landlord has a "no pet" policy.
Originally, the city planned to include "therapeutic animals" in the definition, but backed off after landlords complained the definition was too broad.
Seattle's overhaul of its civil rights law brings it in compliance with state and federal civil rights laws already on the books. In addition to revamping the definition of service animal, the new provisions in Seattle's law:
- Forbid companies from discriminating against people based on genetic testing. In 2008, genetic information was added to federal law.
- Define pregnancy discrimination as part of sex discrimination.
- Extend the statute of limitations for housing discrimination cases, from six months to one year.


Molnar named 2014 Distinguished Research Lecturer
Few scientists have consistently tackled as broad a spectrum of challenging problems in the physics of the Earth at a fundamental level. What distinguishes Dr. Molnar from any other leading Earth scientists is the remarkable range of tools that he brings to his work; his observational skills in seismology, tectonic physics and geological field work, and his extensive theoretical contributions in related heat and mass transfer in the solid earth, the oceans and the atmosphere.
Molnar's exemplary scholarship and service reflect the best this university has to offer.

Flock of white pelicans along lower Niobrara River
American White Pelicans on lower Niobrara River
NPS photo by Linda Gordon Rokosz
Wildlife is abundant in and along the three waterways that are part of the park - the Missouri River, lower 20 miles of the Niobrara River and 8 miles of Verdigre Creek - primarily because of the varied habitat. The river and island complexes provide feeding, resting, and breeding areas for water birds and furbearers. The types of wildlife, however, have undergone dramatic changes since the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the later settling of the West.
Along the MNRR there are multiple species of frogs, two types of toads and even one species of salamander.
The Missouri River ecosystem is a significant pathway for migratory birds. Migrating species benefit from bottomland, which serves as wintering, feeding, breeding, and staging grounds. The most notable of the MNRR's bird species are the threatened Piping Plover, endangered Interior Tern and the magnificent American Bald Eagle.
Fisheries are significant but different in species composition and total number from the pre-dam Missouri River. Both reaches of the park are recovery priority areas for the endangered pallid sturgeon. Native fish have declined in the park because of migration blockage, loss and change in habitat, decreased turbidity, and competition from new species, all primarily due to the river regulation effect of the mainstem dams.
At one time a magnificent array of charismatic mammalian species were found along the Missouri River. Most notable among these were the majestic American Bison and Grizzly Bear. The settling of the west changed this landscape and its species in ways still being studied. Today small mammals, including mice, bats, rats, and ground squirrels make up the bulk of the species within the park.
Even with all the changes that have occurred along the Missouri over the past two centuries, reptile species have remained relatively constant. Among these are 12 different types of snakes and several species of turtles.

How Do North Korean Defectors Go Through Catechesis?
Dr. Foley teaching UUI'm convinced that Christian catechesis is not only for children who are being confirmed, but important for all Christians everywhere to learn the basics of the faith. And this need isn't restricted to a particular country or culture. The church has known it since its earliest days. And we see the exact same need within the North Korean underground church, as well as the community of defectors with whom we work.
When defectors comes to South Korea, they immediately enter into a series of resettlement locations. They are typically at such centers for 3 to 6 months, during which time the government decides if they are legitimate defectors or, for example, spies for the North Korean government. If it's determined that they are legitimate defectors, they then receive an education on how to live and work in South Korean society.
During this time, many of the new defectors go to a Christian chapel service and get baptized. But many of the North Korean defectors who are thus baptized have not actually confessed Jesus Christ with their lips. They are not sure whether they are children of God or not. For them, baptism is just a ceremony to receive a certificate and a nice Bible.
We have come to realize that we need to teach the basic Christian themes and repeat them many times in order for the students to grasp what is being taught. For these North Korean defectors, our Underground Technology (UT) program has become their catechesis training. This past month, we started with the subject of "Creation and Sin" in the first class. Students watched a short animated video of "Adam and Eve" and Dr. Foley explained the stories of how Adam and Eve fell into sin. She also explained to them that we are spiritual beings, teaching them about body, soul and spirit–shocking for North Koreans who are completely indoctrinated in a materialist worldview.
These defectors enter our program as church-attending Christians, but so many of them are only Christians by name even though they may be in church literally every day (at one of Korea's famed morning prayer services). They don't truly understand the connection between Jesus' death and their sins. They don't understand the difference between a baptism certificate and the personal relationship that they can experience with Jesus. They don't yet understand how they are a part of the body of Christ.
Christians in the West are not all that different from our North Korean students. Many people go through ceremonies like baptism, communion, or church membership without having a basic understanding of the faith. Some people understand the church ceremonies themselves as being salvific, instead of the grace of God being applied to one's life through the person and work of Jesus Christ. And many people shy away from catechesis, because it sounds boring, dry and devoid of life.
But in our UT program, instead of being a "sterile" time of learning about the academics of the faith, we find that their eyes light up as truths of the Christian life become real to them, line upon line, precept upon precept through catechesis.
Right after our most recent lesson on Adam and Eve, one of our students (IGH) shared that she always stays at home alone and feels lonely. Whenever she thinks about her children in North Korea, she gets depressed and cries. Immediately, one of our other students invited IGH her house and gave her phone number to her. This same lady was so active and positive in leading the other new students, she even washed the dishes after lunch and encouraged them to do volunteer work together. She was a good model for the other UT students.
For our UT students, catechesis is able to provide a depth and meaning to their new faith that they haven't experienced before. It helps them understand baptism to be more than just receiving a certificate. It also provides a springboard to be able to serve and minister to the needs of other Christian believers.

Motility is a biological term which refers to the ability to move spontaneously and actively, consuming energy in the process. Most animals are motile but the term applies to single-celled and simple multicellular organisms, as well as to some mechanisms of fluid flow in multicellular organs, in addition to animal locomotion. Motile marine animals are commonly called free-swimming.
The opposite of motility is sessility.
Motility may also refer to an organism's ability to move food through its digestive tract, i.e., peristaltics (gut motility, intestinal motility, etc.).[1]

What are the adaptive equipment, transportation, and housing needs that can be sought in a birth injury claim?
A birth injury lawsuit can provide the opportunity to seek financial compensation to address the future needs of caring for a child who has suffered life altering injuries. Children with cerebral palsy, for example, will have significant lifelong needs that in most instances are inadequately compensated for through public sources. As the child grows and matures into adulthood, these needs will change and evolve over time.
Some important areas to consider in identifying the amount of compensation for future needs, often referred to as future care costs, include adaptive equipment, transportation, and housing costs. These needs and the associated costs are typically assessed in the course of a lawsuit by retaining an expert specialized in the area of life care planning, who will be able to identify the various supports and resources required for the child for the balance of his or her life. When considering housing costs, it can also be useful to engage an expert in accessible housing and design.
A child that has suffered a hypoxic injury at birth, will often have complex needs that involve both physical and cognitive components. In terms of physical limitations, as parents with such children will know all too well, the affected child may have impairments of movement, tone, and posture for which a variety of aids and equipment can assist. Often there will be cognitive limitations or learning disabilities of varying severity that can be further aided by adaptive aids and devices.
Adaptive Equipment needs
Adaptive equipment can be very important in terms of aiding with impairments or limitations of mobility caused from a birth injury. This can include items such as manual and motorized wheelchairs, walkers, standing frames, postural devices, gait trainers, adapted bicycles, and the related seats, wedges, trays and positioning aids. It may also include adaptive seating supports, specialized chairs, positioning beds, and fitness devices. The type, size, and form of such mobility aids will change as the injured person ages, grows, and their needs evolve. Consideration should also be given to orthotic devices, such as limb braces, ankle foot orthoses (AFO), and trunk supports.
Adaptive aids can also include items to aid with the everyday activities of life such as toileting, bathing and hygiene, as well as for clothing, dressing, and laundry. Depending on the nature and degree of injury, it may include equipment for when the child matures to aid in such simple activities as feeding, food preparing, writing, drawing, book holding, and other past times that may bring comfort for the child.
In addition, there are many forms of assistive technology and sensory adaptive equipment that can aid in learning, communicating, social interaction, and leisure activities. These can be simple low-tech items such as switches, joysticks, and jelly bean twists, to more high-tech items such as interactive touch screen devices, ipads and computers, voice recognition software, optical pointing software, or augmentative communication devices.
It is also important to give consideration to the transportation needs of the injured child. When there is a need for a wheelchair or other large mobility aids, it will likely be necessary to include the cost of a van modified to safely transport a wheelchair along with the associated additional costs of insurance, gas, and parking for such a larger vehicle. When the injured person matures, consideration may also be given to the costs of handi-transit or related transport costs for a person with a disability.
The housing needs for an injured child should also be addressed in any assessment of compensation for future needs. Most homes will require significant modifications to make the home properly accessible for the person with mobility impairments and also to provide for further adaptive equipment to aid in their care. This can include universal access modifications such as ramps, lifts, expanding doorways and room sizes, environmental technology adaptations, and changes to bathrooms and kitchens. It can include additional equipment connected to the home such as hoyer lifts, ceiling track systems, bath lifts, and dressing tables.
These are just some of the adaptive equipment, transportation and housing needs that should be considered as part of any damages compensation sought in a birth injury claim. The circumstances, injuries, and needs of the particular child will of course vary from case to case but we hope that this article provides you with some information of the types of equipment, modifications, and aids that are typically included and sought through a birth injury claim.

Language, as Mel Bochner has mentioned for over forty years, is not transparent. But, if it is not transparent, what is it then? Two alternatives immediately come to mind: it's probably opaque or it's translucent. But what happens when Bochner repeats this message over time is that it seems to push language from relative transparency to relative opacity. After all, what do you do when you talk to someone and you think they don't get the message? He repeats it, and if they still don't understand it, he repeats it again. All the repetition of the words prevents their clarity, this is what happens in Bochner's work: the words are always legible, but not always clear, and they stamp words and phrases at various overlapping anglesAnother clear aspect of Bochner's work is the dichotomy between color and language, which subsists in both because of its material. Both are physical aspects on the canvas. Color and language are inseparable companions in Bochner's work. His mono-prints can generate countless studies around the use of color and how Bochner combines, separates, contradicts and more.Something is clear to us, Bochner is right: language is not transparent, and that is because it is full of color.

NORTH FLORIDA PROJECT
Following the Sondeo, it was decided that the most pressing problem of
the farmers was that of corn. This crop is traditional on small farms in
northern Florida even though on small farms it has never yielded much on a
per acre basis. It provides flexibility: it can be grazed if the failure
is nearly.complete, it can be hogged off, it can be fed, it can be stored
and it can be sold. But small farmers are desperately looking for an alternative crop. It appears to the FSR&E team that winter wheat may present a
Florida 301 has characteristics which make it appear to have potential
for the conditions of these farmers. It was decided to initiate several
farm trials to determine the adaptability of this cultivar to satisfy the
needs of the small farmers. As the trials were being readied, several
questions were posed by the farmers for which no reliable information was
available. This triggered some added experiments and one other on-farm trial.
On-farm winter wheat trials
Nine on-farm trails are now scheduled on nearly 300 acres (see location on map). Soil samples and penetrometer readings have been made on
all fields and fertilizer recommendations have been delivered to five of
the farmers. IFAS information on Florida 301 was delivered to all collaborIn all but one case, the penetrometer recordings indicated the presence
of compaction problems severe enough to be a limiting factor in corn production, In 8 of 10 cases, farmers were unaware of the existence of this
Most farmers were interested in grazing the wheat during the winter
months, but little reliable information was available on this facet. One
on-farm trial was planned and planted to detect the effect of different
amounts of grazing on grain yield. This trial was planted on October 27.
Exclosures are being used to provide 4 replications of 5 or 6 treatments
(depending on date of removal of all cattle).
Winter wheat experiments on-station
Several farmers indicated a desire to plant the winter wheat as
early as mid October for grazing purposes. Again, little information was
availble.on the effects of such early planting dates, particularly with
grazing. A date of planting trial was set up on the Live Oak ARC with 6
planting dates ranging from October 21 into December. The first two have
been planted. On the BRU, in collaboration with Dr. Okumpaugh, Agronomy,
a time of planting x grazing experiment was established. The first planting date was October 30.
On the Agronomy Farm in Gainesville an experiment was established on
overseeding winter wheat in perennial peanut (mulch/no mulch x N x K20).
Land preparation was completed during the month.
Materials were prepared and tested for obtaining enterprise records
from small farmers to provide a realistic source of information on their
operations. Nine collaborators (the same as those with wheat trials) have
received the materials and have been instructed in their use. As part of
the instruction, information is being obtained on the cost of production
and the practices used in the traditional corn crop. Six corn records for
the 1981 crop are now complete. The other three are being completed. Now
that the materials have been tested, the number of collaborators will be
During the month of October, the team made 34 visits to farms. Usually
two, infrequently one and sometimes three members of the team made each visit
which lasted an average of over two hours each.
Preparation is continuing on the nitrogen cycling experiment being conducted on the Agronomy Farm in Gainesville in collaboration with Dr. Blue
of the Soil Science Department. This experiment is the dissertation project
for Ramiro Ortiz of the Agronomy Department. The purpose is to evaluate the
contribution made by perennial peanut to an annual N usage budget in a cropTo date, no herbicides have been cleared for perennial peanut. Bermuda grass has been a problem in establishing stands, so a screening trial
was initiated at the Live Oak ARC in October in collaboration with Drs.
Prine and Teem, Agronomy.
Data analysis was initiated on the results of the mulch/no mulch x fertilizer x density of corn in perennial peanut experiment conducted this summer on the Agronomy Farm in Gainesville.
Meetings, Conferences, Field Days
A meeting was held on October 16 with the FSR/E Advisory Commitee of
IFAS Department Chairmen to report on the results of the Sondeo and the proposed program for the next few months.
Personnel from the project attended the Swine Field Day in Live Oak on
October 8 and the Governor's Small Farm Conference in Ocala at the end of
A meeting was held with Dr. Rich and Dr. White of the Live Oak ARC on
September 30 to review progress of the FSR/E team and to discuss future col-
A meeting was held with Dr. Smith, Extension Director of Suwannee
county on November 2 to update him on team activities.
The FSR/E Coordinator traveled to the University of Minnesota to consult with the Department of Agricultural Economics on a Biological Nitrogen
Fixation Evaluation project and present a seminar on Farming Systems Methods
and the UF FSR/E Program.
Two abstracts were submitted to the Southern Regional Branch of the
American Society of Agronomy and one to the Society for Applied Anthropology.
Base maps for the Suwannee-Columbia Counties area were completed. Maps
showing the location of farmers interviewed in the Sondeo and of the location
of the on-farm wheat trials were prepared.
A slide presentation depicting the activities of the North Florida
FSR/E team to date has been prepared and is being used.
The Coordinator prepared an invited paper for the Farming Systems Research Symposium at Kansas State University, Novemer 11-13. The title of
the Symposium is "Small Farms in a Changing World: Prospects for the Eighties", The title of the paper is "Role, Potential and Problems of Farming
Systems Research and Extension: Developing Countries vs. United States".
University of Florida Contracts
The FSR/E Program Coordinator traveled to Ecuador October 4-16 to consult with CONACYT and INIAP under the auspices of the USDA/UF Contract with
that country. The contract envisions a major Farming Systems component and
one of the purposes of this trip was to initiate discussions concerning im-
A second purpose of the trip was to make recommendations concerning the
establishment of a new Farming Systems (PIP) team in the Napo area of the
upper Amazon in eastern Ecaudor and of the utilization of the results of the
work which has been done in that area over the past several years, partly
under a UF contract with INIAP. Three days were spent in the area. A draft
report was completed and has been submitted to CONACYT.
A third purpose was to present seminars and discuss the FSR/E methodol-
o.gy with different groups who will be working with the project. This activity plus working on the report of the Napo area were done during the second
week. Also during this week, Dean Woeste was on an orientation trip to
Ecuador. A trip to the Sierra and one to the western coastal plain were
taken with him.
Francisco Huerta of Ecuador visited the campus under the auspices of the
UF contract. A presentation was made to him on the FSR/E program in Florida.
USDA Cooperative Agreement
The FSR/E Coordinator traveled to Washington, D.C. on September 28 to
consult with the OICD and meet with a group from Portugal in preparation
for a consulting trip to that country October 13-24. The trip to Portugal
was made with George Clough of the north Florida FSR/E team and Ruth Harris
of Virginia Polytechnic Institute who also has a Cooperative Agreement with
the USDA. The purpose of the trip to Portugal was to help the Portuguese
and the USDA team formulate a Farming Systems sub-project to the USDA contract with that country. As the visit progressed, the request was modified
to include a complete reorganization of both the research and the extension
services of that country so they will be better able to help the small farmers
make the adjustments necessary under the changing economic conditions foreseen when Portugal enters the European Common Market. In the northern part
of the country, 87% of the farms are smaller than 4 hectares in size and
and the majority of them are run by women whose men have migrated to northern
Europe for work or to the larger cities in Portugal. They are convinced that
the Farming Systems approach is necessary, but will need a great deal of
help in organizing the research and extension services if they are to be effective. A draft report has been written and is under review and revision.

Steam Play
Before we understand what Steam Play is, let's check some prerequisites…
Wine, originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator", is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems such as Linux, macOS and BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.
Wine is an open-source technology and can be downloaded for free. CrossOver is commercialized version of Wine from CodeWeavers.
Proton, a tool released by Valve Software and CodeWeavers, allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses a custom version of Wine as well as additional libraries developed alongside it to facilitate this. These include Direct3D to Vulkan translation layers, namely DXVK for Direct3D 9, 10 and 11 and VKD3D for Direct3D 12.
Vulkan is 3D rendering API, successor of OpenGL. Vulkan offers lower overhead, more direct control over the GPU, and lower CPU usage. The overall concept and feature set of Vulkan is similar to Mantle later adopted by Microsoft with Direct3D 12 and Apple with Metal.
Steam Play
Steam Play is compatibility layer built into the official Steam client that allows you to play games from your library that were built for other operating systems. For example, Steam Play uses Proton to allow Linux users to play Windows games.
DOSBox emulates an IBM PC compatible computer running a DOS operating system including many IBM PC compatible graphics and sound cards. This means that original DOS programs and games are provided with an environment in which they can run correctly, even though modern computers have dropped support for the old environment.
Boxtron is Steam Play compatibility tool to run DOS games using native Linux DOSBox. It enables you to play games on Linux that don't have a Linux build setup on Steam only this is for DOSBox games.
