Deploy ASP.NET MVC on IIS 6, solve 404, compression and performance problems
There are several problems with ASP.NET MVC application when
deployed on IIS 6.0:
 - Extensionless URLs give 404 unless some URL Rewrite module is
 used or wildcard mapping is enabled
 - IIS 6.0 built-in compression does not work for dynamic
 requests. As a result, ASP.NET pages are served uncompressed
 resulting in poor site load speed.
 - Mapping wildcard extension to ASP.NET introduces the following
 - Slow performance as all static files get handled by ASP.NET and
 ASP.NET reads the file from file system on every call
 - Expires headers doesn't work for static content as IIS does not
 serve them anymore. Learn about benefits of expires header from
 . ASP.NET serves a fixed expires header that makes content
 expire in a day.
 - Cache-Control header does not produce max-age properly and thus
 caching does not work as expected. Learn about caching best
 practices from
 - After deploying on a domain as the root site, the homepage
 produces HTTP 404.
Problem 1: Visiting your website's homepage gives 404 when
hosted on a domain
You have done the wildcard mapping, mapped.mvc extention to
ASP.NET ISAPI handler, written the route mapping for Default.aspx
or default.aspx (lowercase), but still when you visit your homepage
after deployment, you get:
You will find people banging their heads on the wall here:
Solution is to capture hits going to "/" and then rewrite it to
You can apply this approach to any URL that ASP.NET MVC is not
handling for you and it should handle. Just see the URL reported on
the 404 error page and then rewrite it to a proper URL.
Problem 2: IIS 6 compression is no longer working after
wildcard mapping
When you enable wildcard mapping, IIS 6 compression no longer
works for extensionless URL because IIS 6 does not see any
extension which is defined in IIS Metabase. You can learn about IIS
6 compression feature and how to configure it properly from
my earlier post
Solution is to use an HttpModule to do the compression for
dynamic requests.
Problem 3: ASP.NET ISAPI does not cache Static Files
When ASP.NET's DefaultHttpHandler serves static files, it
does not cache the files in-memory or in ASP.NET cache. As a
result, every hit to static file results in a File read. Below is
the decompiled code in DefaultHttpHandler when it handles a
static file. As you see here, it makes a file read on every hit and
it only set the expiration to one day in future. Moreover, it
generates ETag for each file based on file's modified date.
For best caching efficiency, we need to get rid of that
ETag, produce an expiry date on far future (like 30 days),
and produce Cache-Control header which offers better control
over caching.
So, we need to write a custom static file handler that will
cache small files like images, Javascripts, CSS, HTML and so on in
ASP.NET cache and serve the files directly from cache instead of
hitting the disk. Here are the steps:
 - Install an HttpModule that installs a Compression Stream
 on Response.Filter so that anything written on Response gets
 compressed. This serves dynamic requests.
 - Replace ASP.NET's DefaultHttpHandler that listens on *.*
 for static files.
 - Write our own Http Handler that will deliver compressed
 response for static resources like Javascript, CSS, and HTML.
Here's the mapping in ASP.NET's web.config for the
DefaultHttpHandler. You will have to replace this with your
own handler in order to serve static files compressed and
Solution 1: An Http Module to compress dynamic requests
First, you need to serve compressed responses that are served by
the MvcHandler or ASP.NET's default Page Handler. The
following HttpCompressionModule hooks on the
Response.Filter and installs a GZipStream or
DeflateStream on it so that whatever is written on the
Response stream, it gets compressed.
These are formalities for a regular HttpModule. The real
hook is installed as below:
Here you see we ignore requests that are handled by ASP.NET's
DefaultHttpHandler and our own StaticFileHandler that
you will see in next section. After that, it checks whether the
request allows content to be compressed. Accept-Encoding
header contains "gzip" or "deflate" or both when browser supports
compressed content. So, when browser supports compressed content, a
Response Filter is installed to compress the output.
Solution 2: An Http Module to compress and cache static file
Here's how the handler works:
 - Hooks on *.* so that all unhandled requests get served by the
 - Handles some specific files like js, css, html, graphics files.
 Anything else, it lets ASP.NET transmit it
 - The extensions it handles itself, it caches the file content so
 that subsequent requests are served from cache
 - It allows compression of some specific extensions like js, css,
 html. It does not compress graphics files or any other
Let's start with the handler code:
Here you will find the extensions the handler handles and the
extensions it compresses. You should only put files that are text
Now start handling each request from
Here you decide the compression mode based on
Accept-Encoding header. If browser does not support
compression, do not perform any compression. Then check if the file
being requested falls in one of the extensions that we support. If
not, let ASP.NET handle it. You will see soon how.
Calculate the cache key based on the compression mode and the
physical path of the file. This ensures that no matter what the URL
requested, we have one cache entry for one physical file. Physical
file path won't be different for the same file. Compression mode is
used in the cache key because we need to store different copy of
the file's content in ASP.NET cache based on Compression Mode. So,
there will be one uncompressed version, a gzip compressed version
and a deflate compressed version.
Next check if the file exits. If not, throw HTTP 404. Then
create a memory stream that will hold the bytes for the file or the
compressed content. Then read the file and write in the memory
stream either directly or via a GZip or Deflate stream. Then cache
the bytes in the memory stream and deliver to response. You will
see the ReadFileData and CacheAndDeliver functions
This function delivers content directly from ASP.NET cache. The
code is simple, read from cache and write to the response.
When the content is not available in cache, read the file bytes
and store in a memory stream either as it is or compressed based on
what compression mode you decided before:
Here bytes are read in chunk in order to avoid large amount of
memory allocation. You could read the whole file in one shot and
store in a byte array same as the size of the file length. But I
wanted to save memory allocation. Do a performance test to figure
out if reading in 8K chunk is not the best approach for you.
Now you have the bytes to write to the response. Next step is to
cache it and then deliver it.
Now the two functions that you have seen several times and have
been wondering what they do. Here they are:
WriteResponse has no tricks, but
ProduceResponseHeader has much wisdom in it. First it turns
off response buffering so that ASP.NET does not store the written
bytes in any internal buffer. This saves some memory allocation.
Then it produces proper cache headers to cache the file in browser
and proxy for 30 days, ensures proxy revalidate the file after the
expiry date and also produces the Last-Modified date from
the file's last write time in UTC.
How to use it
Get the HttpCompressionModule and
StaticFileHandler from:
Then install them in web.config. First you install the
StaticFileHandler by removing the existing mapping for
path="*" and then you install the HttpCompressionModule.
That's it! Enjoy a faster and more responsive ASP.NET MVC
website deployed on IIS 6.0.

 1. Hi Mehfuz,
 ActionFilter is a great way to selectively enable compression on some requests. My solution turns on compression for all requests. This way you don't need to include the filter attribute on all action methods.
 2. Hi Omar, as Mehfuz said I see a number of benifits of Action Filters over HttpModules, but before that just want to correct that You can apply the action filter on the Controller which in turn applies to all the action/public methods, it is not required to decorate method.
 1. I do not have to stick with a Fixed Cache Duration.
 2. Unable to exclude or need to have some kind of rule engine to exclude it from caching.
 3. One of the main reason of MVC becoming so poplular is TDD, with HTTPModules it is harder and sometime impossible to fit in TDD.
 3. Hi Kazi,
 I believe there's a confusion here. I

Just follow this steps:
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste the exact code given below in red:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"ProcessorNameString"="My Processor name 50000MHz"
To change the processor name, edit the part of the code given in blue. Also understand that \0 in the above code should only be present if Windows store your processor name at that location. Please open Registry Editor and navigate to the above mentioned keys to check whether or not to include the \0.
3. Click on File Menu, click on Save As and select "All Types" in Save as Type option. Save the file as ProcessorNameChange.reg or *.reg.
4. Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Enter regedit / S "Location of the.reg file" as the location of the item. For example, enter regedit /S "C:\Processor Name.reg" if your registry file is located in the root of C:\ drive.
5. Copy the created Shortcut file.
6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (in Windows XP) or to C:\Users \User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (in Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Also remember that AppData is a hidden folder.) if C: is your System drive.
7. Paste the copied file.
This registry file would now execute each time when Windows starts and the Processor Name String would be modified each time. So, even upon restarting your computer, you will see that the changed processor name is permanent.
Thanks for reading this tutorial now please share this website and wait for our new tutorials. I'll se you next time :)

snes - the SNES context
r - vector to store function value

Pmat - matrix from which preconditioner is computed (usually the same as Amat)

We do not recomemend using this routine. It is far better to provide the nonlinear function F() and some approximation to the Jacobian and use an approximate Newton solver. This interface is provided to allow porting/testing a previous Picard based code in PETSc before converting it to approximate Newton.
One can call SNESSetPicard() or SNESSetFunction() (and possibly SNESSetJacobian()) but cannot call both
 Solves the equation A(x) x = b(x) via the defect correction algorithm A(x^{n}) (x^{n+1} - x^{n}) = b(x^{n}) - A(x^{n})x^{n}
 Note that when an exact solver is used this corresponds to the "classic" Picard A(x^{n}) x^{n+1} = b(x^{n}) iteration.
Run with -snes_mf_operator to solve the system with Newton's method using A(x^{n}) to construct the preconditioner.
We implement the defect correction form of the Picard iteration because it converges much more generally when inexact linear solvers are used then the direct Picard iteration A(x^n) x^{n+1} = b(x^n)
There is some controversity over the definition of a Picard iteration for nonlinear systems but almost everyone agrees that it involves a linear solve and some believe it is the iteration A(x^{n}) x^{n+1} = b(x^{n}) hence we use the name Picard. If anyone has an authoritative reference that defines the Picard iteration different please contact us at and we'll have an entirely new argument :-).

|Children help unload a delivery of school supplies in Southern Sudan.|
By Rachel Beck
KWAJOK, Southern Sudan, 20 December 2006 – Angelina Nyanyok, 18, a student at the local primary school, identifies her classroom by the single element that provides any shelter.
"I'm in Primary Seven," she says. "It's the one under the big tree."
Like nearly one-third of learning spaces in Southern Sudan, Kwajok Primary School teaches children in the open air. Students sit on benches made of roughly hewn logs, reciting lessons inscribed on a chalkboard propped against the tree trunk. Rain means that school is automatically cancelled.
Worst of all, says Angelina, is the lack of learning materials.
"We don't have exercise books, and we don't have textbooks," she says. "It is too much money to buy these things. When there are not even pencils or pens, what is the reason for going to school?"
|© UNICEF Sudan/2006/Beck|
|At Kwajok Primary School, children play in front of an emergency classroom tent supplied by UNICEF.|
4,000 tonnes of supplies
In early 2006, UNICEF embarked on a massive distribution project to ensure that young people like Angelina have access to the basic supplies they need in order to learn.
Over 4,000 metric tonnes of school supplies have been moved into Southern Sudan, including student kits, resource materials for teachers and recreation kits. More than 4 million textbooks are being delivered, while emergency classroom tents are being set up to ease overcrowding and provide shelter at outdoor schools like Kwajok Primary.
The logistical challenges are immense. At 640,000 square km, Southern Sudan is about the size of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Germany and Portugal combined. Yet there are only 5 km of paved roads in the entire region.
In remote areas, school supplies are airlifted by helicopter or delivered by river barges travelling up the Nile. Trucks force their way through heavy underbrush in order to reach 'bush schools', and numerous consignments of supplies have been distributed using donkeys and carts.
'Go to School' campaign
Despite the harsh conditions, the project has succeeded in achieving close to universal coverage. Wartime surveys estimated that only 13 per cent of schoolchildren in Southern Sudan had access to basic learning materials – a figure that has risen to nearly 100 per cent today.
|© UNICEF Sudan/2006/Beck|
|An emergency classroom tent at Kwajok Primary School helps shelter students who would otherwise learn in the open air.|
The distribution effort is a key component of the 'Go to School' initiative, a major campaign to rebuild the education system and bring 1.6 million children back to the classroom following two decades of civil war.
Since the launch of 'Go to School' on 1 April 2006, thousands of teachers have been trained and a new curriculum has been developed. Enrolment rates have skyrocketed, up from an estimated 343,000 during the war to over 850,000 in late 2006.
Increase in enrolment
The provision of learning materials has proven to be one of the most powerful incentives for families who would not otherwise be able to send their children to school. At Kwajok Primary School, the distribution of school supplies led to an immediate increase in enrolment.
"Before, the children had to buy pencils and notebooks in the market," says the County Director of Education in Kwajok, Gabriel Majong Majong. "But now, these things are free – so the children are coming to school."
And for the first time, Angelina and her schoolmates have the opportunity to use their new books in a classroom that doesn't flood in bad weather. Five emergency tents have been distributed to Kwajok Primary School to provide shelter for students while permanent construction gets under way.

There are a number of instances when you may have needed to know your routing number — re-ordering checks, setting up direct deposits, paying bills, making tax payments, etc. — but you've probably mindlessly gotten the info from a blank check or your bank account website without really paying attention to what those numbers mean. But believe it or not, there's a lot of information to be found in those nine little digits.
A Brief History of the Routing Number
The American Bankers Association created routing numbers back in 1910 to identify the specific financial institution that was responsible for making a payment. By 1911, routing numbers had been adopted by the banking industry at large. Although routing numbers have evolved over the years to account for changes in the industry including the development of the Federal Reserve system, the advent of magnetic ink character recognition, electronic funds transfer, and interstate banking, their primary purpose has really remained unchanged. A routing number identifies the bank that is responsible to pay or give credit, or the bank that is entitled to receive a payment or a credit, stemming from a check payment or an electronic transaction.
The Evolution of the Routing Number
Although routing numbers have evolved over the years to account for changes in the industry including the development of the Federal Reserve System, the advent of magnetic ink character recognition, electronic funds transfer, and interstate banking, their primary purpose has really remained unchanged. A routing number identifies the bank that is responsible to pay or give credit or the bank that is entitled to receive a payment or a credit, stemming from a check payment or an electronic transaction.
Breaking It Down: What Your Routing Number Really Stands For
Routing numbers are made up of nine digits, which break down into three components. The first four digits are the Federal Reserve routing symbol, the next four digits are the American Bankers Association institution identifier (aka a code that represents your specific bank or credit union) and the final digit is the check digit.
You can tell a lot about the routing number by just the first two digits. Here's what those two numbers mean, according to the ABA:
|First Two Digits||Federal Reserve Allocation|
|00||Checks and drafts of the U.S. government and its agencies (excluding federal banks)|
|01-12||All checks and electronic transfers of banks, Federal Reserve banks, federal home loan banks, federal land banks, federal intermediate credit banks, farm credit banks and state government units|
|21-32||Checks, drafts and electronic transactions of thrift institutions, otherwise known as credit unions (This assignment was discontinued in 1985, and these now get assigned 01-12.)|
|50-59||Used by banks, Federal Reserve banks and other entities for internal process control purposes|
|61-72||Electronic Transaction Identifiers|
You might notice that some series of numbers are missing from that list. That's because they've been reserved for future use, or the use has become obsolete.
A Closer Look at the First Two Digits
You probably noticed that the numbers 01 to 12 are basically assigned to all checks and transfers with only a few exceptions. The numbers 01 through 12 refer to the Federal Reserve district where your bank is based. There are 12 districts across the United States and its territories, each of which reports to a Federal Reserve bank main office. The districts were created back in 1913 and were based on the geographic population of the U.S. at the time, which is why some of the districts cover larger areas than others. Over time, offices have been added within each district to account for growing populations and growing banking needs.
Codes Are Different For Credit Unions
While new credit unions get assigned a number 01 to 12 depending on their Federal Reserve district, just like banks, up until 1985 credit unions had a different number: the district number plus 20. If you bank with a credit union, it's likely your checks will start with a number between 21 and 32.
What the Third and Fourth Digit Tell You
Within each district, there are different Federal Reserve banks and branch offices that serve the institution that the funds are being withdrawn from, and the third and fourth digit indicates this. For example, 01 refers to the Boston Federal Reserve district, but within that district, there is a Boston office and a Windsor Locks office. The routing code numbers 0110, 0112, 0113, 0114 and 0115 correspond to the Boston office, while the routing code numbers 0111, 0118, 0119, 0211, 0116 and 0117 correspond to the Windsor Locks office
All About the ABA Institution Identifier
The American Bankers Association is the body that originally came up with the idea of a routing number back in 1910, and to this day, the ABA is responsible for the assignment of institution identifier codes to qualifying banks and credit unions. These four digits — the ABA institution identifier — make up digits five through eight of your routing number.
So, What Exactly Is That Ninth Digit For?
All the essential information is really found in the first eight digits of your routing number — these digits tell you all about the Federal Reserve office location for your bank, as well as information about your specific institution. That ninth digit in your routing number serves as a "check digit" — it's the result of a mathematical calculation that verifies the accuracy of the other eight numbers of your routing number.
Now that you know what your routing number really means, you might want to take a closer look at it the next time you write out a check.

Inverse transformation method for linear invariant systems
If the Laplace transformation of the input function can be written in rational function (it is a valid condition in many cases, such as Dirac-delta, Heavyside unit step function, harmonic step functions /like sin, cos/,….etc.), then the output response function in the extended complex frequency domain can be expressed as follow:
$Y(s) = \frac{\sum_{l=1}^{m}b_{l}s^{l}}{\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}s^{k}} = \frac{M(s)}{N(s)} which is rational function.
If $Y(s) is proper rational function, then $\lim_{s \rightarrow \infty} Y(s) = \lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \frac{M(s)}{N(s)} = 0.. If $Y(s) is improper rational function, then by means of polynomial divides is possible to obtain
$\frac{M(s)}{N(s)} = C_{0} + \frac{P(s)}{N(s)},where $\frac{P(s)}{N(s)} already is a proper rational function.
Consequently $y(t) = \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ C_{0} + \frac{P(s)}{N(s)}\right\} = C_{0}\delta (t) + \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{P(s)}{N(s)}\right\}
Only those cases will be considered in the following chapter, where the inverse transformation may be executed by proper rational functions.

Occupational Science: Bridging Occupation and Health
Deakin University, Geelong, Australia.
Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy (Impact Factor: 0.92). 03/2005; 72(1):5-12. DOI: 10.1177/000841740507200105
Source: PubMed
BACKGROUND: The paper is based on a keynote address delivered at the 2004 CAOT Conference in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Occupational therapists are widely associated with a medical model of health care in which recognition of how engagement in occupation contributes to health status is poorly understood. Occupational science as the study of people as occupational beings has the potential to increase such understanding. PURPOSE: This paper considers some aspects of the relationship between health and the occupations of older people to highlight avenues for change and the research required to support them. METHOD: The paper is structured around a simple verse of dialogue between a healthy old man and an occupational therapist. Explanation of the dialogue draws upon historical and current literature as well as occupational science research to provide a rationale for future practice based on broader concepts of occupation for health. RESULTS AND PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS: The dialogue promotes the need for discussion about health and about the health notion of Active Ageing. It highlights professional language as one impediment to change and suggests that research concerning occupation as it relates to population health is a primary requirement for the future of occupational therapy.

She argued that an occupational perspective improves understanding of health and wellbeing (Wilcock 2005a, 2005b) and developed theories in the field of occupational science, applying them to occupational therapy, health promotion and social justice (Wilcock 2006).

 ABSTRACT: Introduction: Ann Wilcock's published work identifies the fundamental importance of occupation in promoting health, wellbeing and even survival. Despite the implications for occupational therapy, the impact of her work has not been comprehensively explored. This research investigated how her ideas were used in published research from 1993 to 2007. Method and findings: Mixed methods obtained two sets of data. First, qualitative data from a textual analysis of Wilcock's published work were analysed and used to create a glossary and a conceptual framework of her ideas. Secondly, content analysis of 48 research papers yielded 121 citations, which were coded into categories. The findings indicated that her ideas did not appear to be embraced fully by other authors and were sometimes applied superficially. Discussion: The conceptual framework was refined and finalised, to demonstrate how Wilcock's ideas are interrelated. It is presented as a means of developing an accessible occupational perspective for research and practice.

 ABSTRACT: The purpose of preventive home visits is to promote overall health and wellbeing in old age. The aim of this paper was to describe the process of the development of evidence-based preventive home visits, targeting independent community-living older persons. The evidence base was generated from published studies and practical experiences. The results demonstrate that preventive home visits should be directed to persons 80 years old and older and involve various professional competences. The visits should be personalized, lead to concrete interventions, and be followed up. The health areas assessed should derive from a broad perspective and include social, psychological, and medical aspects. Core components in the protocol developed in this study captured physical, medical, psychosocial, and environmental aspects. Results of a pilot study showed that the protocol validly identified health risks among older people with different levels of ADL dependence.

 ABSTRACT: This article focuses on theatre as an occupation for asylum seekers living in immigration centres. The aim is to describe the engagement of asylum seekers in a theatre production that presented their experiences. The participants (n = 11, M = 7, F = 4) came from a Norwegian reception centre for people seeking asylum and originated from Asia and Africa. The study had an ethnographic design and used participatory observations. Data was analysed using an interpretative method. The findings identified themes of waiting for a future, making narrative turning points, becoming visible through participation and creating meeting places with possibilities through theatre. The discussion addresses how engagement in theatre might serve to liberate people in locked situations, how participation in such occupations creates relational aesthetics that can construct collaboration and social relations, and how the stories of life experts can create art expressions in the context of applied theatre without being a professional artist.

All you need to know about Carpenter's Square - 34
Diagram 34.1: White to play
The corner is much stronger with the first-line hane at Black square. Can white do anything?
Diagram 34.2: White fails
Because of Black square, the solution for Shape 33 stops working. If white continues to play 'a', black is able to use 'oshi-tsubushi' to kill white.
Diagram 34.3: White fails
If White 5 occupies this key point first, Black 10 is a good move.
Diagram 34.4: Seki
To continue from the previous diagram, the only thing white can do is to make White 11 / Black 12 exchange. Please confirm the corner is a seki.
Diagram 34.5: Can white form a ko?
Since white cannot kill the corner, an outcome of ko would be the next best. White hopes black to play 'a' so that Diagram 33.3 applies; or if black playes 'b', white can choose one of the ko options in Shape 7. However, black has better defence.
Diagram 34.6: Black alive
Black 2 is a famous tesuji! If White 3, black occupies the second 1-2 point and there is just enough room to make two eyes.
Diagram 34.7: Black alive
If White 3 occupies another 1-2 point, Black 4 is good, recovering Diagram 34.2.
Diagram 34.8: Black alive
If White 3, Black 4 is good. Black makes the first eye in the corner, leaving miai point 'a' and 'b' for the second eye.
Diagram 34.9: Black alive
If White 1, Black 2 is the correct move, ensuring to recover Diagram 34.2 again.
Diagram 34.10: Black alive
If white makes White 1 / Black 2 exchange first before blocking at White 3, Black 4 is still the tesuji, leaving 'a' and 'b' miai points to live.
Diagram 34.11: Black alive
To reply White 5, Black 6 is still the best move. White has a number of options. Clear 'a' and 'b' are miai points.
Diagram 34.12: Black alive
To reply White 7, Black 8 is calm, still leaving 'a' and 'b' as miai.
Diagram 34.13: Black alive
Finally, White 7 results in a double-ko. In most cases, black would be unconditionally alive.
To summarise: with the first-line hane, black corner is very safe. The best white can get is seki in Diagram 34.3 and 34.4. Black needs to know the 1-2 point tesuji. In very rare cases, white may consider Diagram 34.13 (see how a double-ko may be exploited in this pro game ).

The battleship Bismarck
, the pride of the Nazi navy, was thought, like the ill-fated Titanic
, to be unsinkable. When it left port in May 1941, even the formidable British navy professed to be nervous, and the rallying cry "Sink the Bismarck
!" was born. Amazingly, just two weeks into its maiden voyage, the Bismarck
was spotted, torpedoed, and sunk by the British in the North Atlantic, an almost unbelievable turn of events--as crucial a turning point in World War II for the Germans, according to one survivor interviewed in this video, as Pearl Harbor was for the Americans. In 1989 Dr. Bob Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic
, and a crew painstakingly searched a 100-square-mile area off France, and after some heartbreaking near misses, ultimately found the remains of the once-glorious ship. The video cuts effectively between historic footage, interviews with British and German survivors, and scenes from the Ballard expedition, expertly woven together to paint a complete portrait of the sinking and its aftermath. Fans of Titanic
and World War II buffs especially will be fascinated. --Anne Hurley
"Sink the Bismarck" was the cry as British forces searched the Atlantic for the German navy's most powerful vessel. The pursuit ended on May 27, 1941, in a battle that plunged the Bismarck into waters nearly three miles deep, taking with it more than 2,000 lives. Almost half a century later, explorer and scientist Dr. Robert D. Ballard, who discovered the sunken S.S. Titanic, searched the Atlantic for the infamous Bismarck. On June 8, 1989, he located the sunken ship, 600 miles off the coast of France. National Geographic looks back at the first - and last - mission of the Bismarck and talks with survivors of the notorious World War II battle. Then, in its climactic chapter, SEARCH FOR THE BATTLESHIP BISMARCK reveals exclusive footage of this remarkable undersea exploration.

During slow periods, you may only need to make one coffee at a time. But during peak time, you could be making numerous coffees every minute. Instead of using a separate jug for each coffee, the easiest and quickest solution is using one jug for numerous coffees.
When you prepare coffee using the one jug you don't want one coffee cup full and the next half empty. So how do you ensure you split the milk properly? It's all about managing your milk thickness or proportion of foam.
In this lesson, learn what 'splitting' milk means and how to split a jug of milk to make multiple coffee drinks.

Emperor Tarish-Zi was a ruthless self-proclaimed emperor and the leader of the Anka-Ra, one of the most feared warrior bands within the Ra Gada. He was the one who razed the abandoned Nedic city of Reinhold's Retreat to the ground after he failed to find the hidden treasure found within. He and the Anka-Ra eventually settled in the region of Craglorn where they died. Even in death, his men were bound to him by an oath of eternal loyalty.
This loyalty was exploited in the present when constellations fell from the skies above Craglorn and took on mortal forms known as the Celestials. Under The Celestial Serpent's control, The Warrior used divine powers to invoke great warriors of the past, and thus Tarish-Zi and the Anka-Ra were summoned forward in time. Unbeknownst to The Serpent, The Warrior also summoned Titus Valerius, a powerful Nedic warrior who would act as his champion against Tarish-Zi and his army.

Taking Off the Armor
The Armor Once Served a Purpose, But its Okay to Take it Off Now
Yesterday when I was making my first blog video, it was one of the scariest things I've ever done. I felt completely vulnerable and was trying to 'create' this character of who I would be on the blog. Ironically, once I felt that happening I immediately sat down and just started speaking from the heart – the point of the blog is to be authentic. If we are going to live authentically from the source of power that is the 'real' us, we must first notice the fear, become aware of it, understand it… Once you know the fear and understand it, it can be let go and transformed into something that works for you.
Rejecting something that is a part of you will never work out well. You will only end up fighting with yourself on how you 'should' be. To become whole, and to become the real you, you must gracefully thank and accept all parts of you.
In this video I explain some mental armor I had to put on in childhood – and at one point it served a pretty important purpose. It protected me and kept me safe. Once I understood the original purpose, I could give gratitude to the fear (or the mental armor) for a job well done. It protected me from middle school through high school. Once I had grown up, I had forgotten I even had the armor on. I had accepted it as a part of who I was, even though the real me is completely above it.
Steps for Removing Mental Armor:
 1. Realize a negative thought pattern once served an important purpose in your life, so stop fighting with it and telling it that it's not part of you. It is.
 2. Notice the negative thought pattern, the way it behaves, when it pops up in your awareness; however, do not try to silence it. Simply notice it.
 3. Once you have noticed the thought pattern, and you are more comfortable and calm when it comes around, then the next step is to provide gratitude to it. Thank the thought pattern or idea for the purpose it once served. Then let it know you no longer need it in its current structure/form.
 4. Now release the thought pattern, as if you were erasing words on a dry erase board. Now the dry erase board no longer has the thought on it, and something else can be written. Generally the best way is to instill a new more positive thought pattern that better serves you. Something in the affirmative.

I personally wouldn't do this with contour as you then need to add information about the elevation which I don't think you want?
matplotlib has Ellipse which is a subclass of Artist. The following example adds a single ellipse to a plot.
import matplotlib as mpl
ellipse = mpl.patches.Ellipse(xy=(0, 0), width=2.0, height=1.0)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim(-2, 2)
ax.set_ylim(-2, 2)
enter image description here
You then need to research how to get the effect you are looking for, I would have a read of the docs in general making things transparent is done through alpha.

It sometimes happens that, instead of being defined directly as a function of, is given as a function of another variable, which is defined as a function of. In that case is a function of through and is called a function of a function or a composite function. The process of substituting one function into another is sometimes called composition.
For example, if, and, then is a function of a function. By eliminating we may express directly as a function of, but in general this is not the best plan when we wish to find.
If and, then is a function of through. Hence, when we let take on an increment, will take on an increment and will also take on a corresponding increment. Keeping this in mind, let us apply the General Rule simultaneously to the two functions and.
The left-hand members show one form of the ratio of the increment of each function to the increment of the corresponding variable, and the right-hand members exhibit the same ratios in another form. Before passing to the limit let us form a product of these two ratios, choosing the left-hand forms for this purpose.
This gives, which equals. Write this

We hear a lot about the coming of the cashless society, with wave and pay stickers, apps that let you ping money to each other and more innovations trumpeting that if cash is king, then the king is dead.
But while children are growing up in this brave new world, they are denied access to it. Unless you have a credit or debit card, you can't pay for a single MP3.
So what's the solution? Well one company thinks it's giving children as young as eight their own debit cards.
Pktmny – which launched this week – offers children between the ages of eight and 16 a contactless prepaid Visa debit card. Parents can personalise the card for their children and set controls on where and how much they can spend on it. You can read more of the details on the "how it works" section of pktmny site.
You can set up a standing order to add money to the card on a weekly or monthly basis, while friends and relatives can also add money to the account. The people behind it also have smartphone apps planned that allow children to see the balance on their cards and parents top this up if needed. It costs £5 to open an account and there's a £1 monthly charge (that comes from the parent's account, not the child's).
The hope is that this will allow children to learn about spending, saving and budgeting – as well as offering them some independence – in the same way traditional pocket money has.
"Children will live in a completely cashless world. Yet they are forced to interact with money in a way even adults have moved on from. It's time for a dramatic change," said clinical child psychologist Dr Elizabeth Kilbey.
"By allowing children to start taking control of their money in a safe and secure environment they will be able to grow with money, learn from their mistakes and ultimately understand the value of money."
But would you trust a child with a card? Let us know below.

Oldest Observatory in Americas Discovered in Peru
Richard A. Lovett
for National Geographic News
|May 16, 2006|
The oldest astronomical observatory in the Western Hemisphere has been discovered on a hillside a few miles north of Lima, Peru, archaeologists recently reported.
Researchers also found ornate carvings more sophisticated than any before seen in the region.
The site dates back 4,200 years800 years before such artistic and scientific skill was previously known to have existed in the Americas.
The find was part of an ancient temple built by an unnamed civilization from Peru's "pre-ceramic" period, which predated the better-known Inca culture by thousands of years.
Temple structures, including a giant carving of what looks like a frowning face, align with the directions of sunrise and sunset at critical points in the agricultural calendar, including December 21, the start of the Southern Hemisphere's growing season, and June 21, the end of harvest.
This proves that the ancient civilization was already highly dependent on agriculture, said Robert Benfer, anthropologist at the University of Missouri, Columbia, who was one of the lead researchers of the find.
"These people went to a lot of trouble to mark the agricultural calendar," Benfer said.
(See a National Geographic magazine feature on the Andes' pre-Inca empires.)
Benfer's team also found a sculpture of a life-size musician playing a shell trumpet.
"The torso is in the round," he said, referring to the fact that the sculpture is three-dimensional and can be viewed from different angles. "The legs are over the edge of a balcony in high relief."
It's a significant artistic find because of the round torso, Benfer explained. All other known Andean sculptures from that era were two-dimensional reliefs and not done in the round.
"We were in no way prepared for finding this kind of stuff," Benfer said. "It was absolutely unexpected."
Benfer's conservation work on the sculpture was funded by the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration. (National Geographic News is part of the National Geographic Society.)
Benfer announced his discovery at an April meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Puerto Rico.
The sculptures were beautifully preserved thanks to the temple-builders' habit of using temples for only a short time before carefully covering them up and building new ones on top.
Even so, Benfer said, archaeologists were lucky that the site hadn't been looted.
Treasure hunters had dug a 20-foot (6-meter) wide hole 7 feet (2 meters) deep into the layers above the site, he said.
The would-be looters stopped only inches from the temple.

The Second National Anti-Corruption Summit: 2005
The Second National Anti-Corruption Summit was held in March 2005 in Pretoria. A full version of the resolutions is presented here for your information:
We the delegates drawn from various sectors in the South African society acknowledge that corruption is an obstacle to development and that all sectors represented here should unite in preventing and combating corruption. We recognise that during the years of struggle against apartheid, South Africa was a fragmented country and the majority of its people were subjected to a politically, socially, economically, and morally corrupt regime.
In 1994 the Government that was elected democratically by the majority of people embarked upon a programme to reconstruct and develop South Africa to the benefit of all its people. The programme of growth, reconstruction and development was fraught with obstacles and legacies created by the apartheid regime such as the prevalence of corruption and poor service delivery.
We heed the President's call to unite in the fight against corruption and recommit ourselves to this cause. We commend the positive progress that has been made in implementing the resolutions made in the first anti-corruption summit. However, we recognise that there are still a number of outstanding challenges, which we need to tackle together.
In the fight against corruption we commit ourselves to ensure that the South African legal framework fully complies with international conventions of the UN, AU, and SADC in respect of corruption.
We therefore, as the basis of a national strategy to fight corruption, resolve to implement the following resolutions:
A. Ethics, Awareness and Prevention
1. To promote leadership in all sectors of society that is committed to the creation of a culture of integrity and to restore confidence in the fight against corruption.
2. To foster a greater culture of transparency and accountability in all sectors.
3. To encourage whistle blowing and reporting in all sectors, and strengthen measures to protect all persons from victimisation where they expose corrupt and unethical practises.
4. Ethics training must form a critical part of the ethics and awareness programme of all sectors, including incorporation in the school curricula.
5. Values and principles of Codes of conduct of the various sectors must be established, promoted and enforced through a defined programme.
6. To conduct a joint research programme to audit the state of professional ethics in each sector.
B. Combating
1. To promote, support and strengthen co-operation and co-ordination between and within the different sectors.
2. To ensure better co-ordination among the different agencies responsible for combating corruption.
3. To acknowledge the role-played by government in the establishment of a database for blacklisting, and to further support this initiative by the creation of a common database for blacklisting across all sectors. A mechanism for information sharing across all sectors should be developed.
4. To strengthen capacity for the implementation of anti-corruption legislation, at institutions of service delivery especially at Provincial and Local government.
5. Where corruption is endemic, initiatives such as the Joint Anti-corruption Task Team should be instituted to combat corruption, particularly at Provincial and Local government.
6. The shortcomings of the Protected Disclosure Act should be addressed and resolved by the Law Commission and a report to be provided to the Parliamentary Committees on Justice by the end of 2005.
7. To encourage regulation of post public sector employment to ensure a "cooling off" period to avoid conflict of interest.
8. To strengthen the capacity of the law enforcement agencies to identify and recover assets obtained through illicit or corrupt means in line with Chapter 5 of the UN Convention Against Corruption.
C. Oversight, Transparency and Accountability
1. All oversight structures at Provincial and National levels should be strengthened.
2. Establish a joint research initiative to evaluate the implementation by the Executive of resolutions made by Parliament and its committees pertaining to corruption.
3. To review the Financial Disclosure Framework of public representatives, and senior public managers and where necessary to ensure better management through greater compliance, timeous submission, improved procedures and the enforcement of penalties/sanctions in the absence of compliance.
4. The Financial Disclosure framework should be extended to include senior management in Local Government, parastatals and other public officials with designated responsibilities in procurement.
5. Encourage Business and Civil Society to apply financial disclosure provisions to senior people at director level in their sectors.
D. National Anti-Corruption Forum (NACF)
We recommit our support to the NACF as an appropriate multi-sectoral structure to drive a joint national anti-corruption strategy.
1. We support the initiatives taken to strengthen the secretariat but more resources are needed to implement the programme of action of the NACF.
2. The relevant resolutions of this Summit should be translated into a programme of action of the NACF within 3 months.
3. The NACF must establish task teams to implement the action plan.
4. The NACF will coordinate a national cross-sectoral educational campaign to promote whistle blowing and the reporting of corruption in all sectors.
5. The Executive of the NACF should meet quarterly and the forum as a whole should meet annually between bi-annual summits.
6. Each sector should have a plan of action with regard to representation of the NACF within 3 months of the Summit. The NACF will strive to ensure participation of the professions.
7. Civil Society will prepare a research report on crimes of corruption under Apartheid and present these to the NACF for consideration within 6 months.
8. The NACF will encourage the participation of all National and Provincial constitutional and oversight bodies in appropriate events.

In early June I was intrigued with _TAG_ when they kept popping up on my twitter feed. I would see a photo of a page from the book, the tweeter's bitmoji and typed up text. Although most of the time I hadn't read the book, I felt their fuel, their fire, their reaction to whatever they were reading. Wow! If I was enjoying learning about what these people were thinking and learning during their reading, I am sure this would be a great tool to to use with my students, as they would love seeing each other's _TAG_ and learning more about each other. It turns out the creator of _TAG_ presented at the International Society for Educational Technology (ISTE) Conference in San Antonio where 2 storymamas had the privilege of attending. We attended the ignite session for Tara Martin, _TAG_ creator. She shared during this session that she wanted to find a way to use the app her son couldn't put down (Snapchat) to do some visual storytelling. And shortly after _TAG_ was born and has been taking the social media world by storm. Her session showed the power of _TAG_ and how it helps get into the student's head on their thoughts and feelings toward text and how it relates to their life. Also, by using a book snap, it allows the reader to comprehend the text and internalize what the author is saying. Tara has been amazing and has created a website full of information and how-to videos on making _TAG_. Although it started with Snapchat, she has made videos using many other apps, including Snapchat, Seesaw, Book Creator and more. Check it out! Free resources are great! Thanks Tara!
Shortly after the conference I made my first _TAG_ while reading the ARC copy of Smart Cookie by Elly Swartz. I used Snapchat, but as Tara's website shows, many different apps can be used.
Using _TAG_ has helped me look deeper into text, share my thoughts, and also remember more parts of the story. I can only imagine the impact it will have with my students when I introduce it to them. Beside the impact, I know the students will be engaged in the process. I had so much fun finding the right words to write and bitmoji to use.
So for today we thought it would be fun to use three back to school books to show you how to use _TAG_ when reading a picture book. All 3 storymamas picked a book and tried it out. We are all new at this and are learning as we go, but are excited to use with students. We can see it in our reading workshops and it would be great in content areas! Please feel free to comment on how you are using _TAG_ in the classroom! We hope you enjoy the books we chose and our _TAG_!

A new research program launched by the FINRA Foundation and the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) has shown that repeated exposure to fraud awareness education can lower a person's susceptibility to investment fraud.
The study "Can Educational Interventions Reduce Susceptibility to Financial Fraud?", which was focused on adults in the United States, showed that fraud awareness education can make a person more likely to recognize investment frauds.
The new findings were announced in a FINRA press release in March, 2021.
Repeated exposure might be the key
"These findings underscore the need for repeated exposure to educational resources that enable individuals to make informed choices and help them to recognize, avoid and report financial fraud," says Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA Foundation. "Practitioners working in this space have been forced to rely on anecdotal evidence when justifying their efforts because until now, very little published research has examined whether educational interventions can meaningfully reduce individuals' susceptibility to financial fraud, whether they discourage investing in general, and whether any positive effects might persist over time."
Is online education the answer?
The study indicates that more online education might be a feasible way of reducing consumers' likelihood of being the victims of investment fraud.
"Our research suggests that short, easily scalable online education programs can meaningfully reduce adults' susceptibility to investment fraud—and that these effects can persist with repeated exposure," says CESR researcher Jeremy Burke.
Does scam awareness make people less interested in investing?
Does awareness of frauds and scams make a person less willing to invest in anything, even in legitimate investment opportunities?
The answer from this study is no, as the project found no evidence that the interventions reduced consumers' interest in investing in legitimate investment opportunities.
A study on 2,000 adults
The study was comprised of 2,000 adults in the United States. The individuals were drawn from the Understanding America Study – a nationally representative survey panel.
The three groups
Each of the 2,000 individuals was randomly assigned to one of three groups.
- The video group
Individuals in the video group were provided with a 3-minute long educational video about five techniques often present in investment frauds.
- The text group
Individuals in the text group was provided with reading materials about techniques often present in investment frauds. This was the same information as in the video, but in a concise text format.
- The control group
Individuals in the control group received no educational materials.
Researchers measured fraud susceptibility in the three groups immediately after the educational intervention (or for the control group: lack of intervention) and then again six months later.
The testing was carried out using investment pitches drawn from real-world investment offers. Legitimate offers were mixed with fraudulent offers.
A second educational intervention
Some of the members of the video group and the text group received a second educational intervention three months after the first one. This was to see if repeated exposure to educational material would have any impact.
Notable findings from the study
- The educational interventions had an immediate positive impact. This was true for both video intervention and text intervention. Both groups displayed a significantly lower willingness to invest in fraudulent offers compared to the control group.
- The impact of the first educational intervention decayed over time.
- Individuals who received a secondary intervention three months after the first one were less likely to invest in fraudulent opportunities at the six-month mark compared to the control group. (Those who received the secondary intervention were 10% less likely to go for the fraudulent opportunities compared to the control group.)
- The educational interventions did not impact the individuals' willingness to invest in legitimate investment offers at the six-month mark.
Cognitive ability and financial literacy are important to benefit from educational intervention
In the study, an individual's cognitive ability and financial literacy was shown to be very important for their ability to benefit from educational interventions.
- Individuals with higher cognitive ability and higher financial literacy disproportionately benefited from the educational interventions.
- Researchers did not see any effect of the interventions for those with low cognitive ability or low financial literacy.
This last point is of course very interesting and also concerning since it highlights how these types of educational interventions (video or text) might not be able to reach individuals in an impactful way when cognitive abilities and/or financial literacy levels are low.
Fraud is more compelling than honest investment opportunities
Another very interesting finding from this study was that despite the effectiveness of the interventions, study participants were still more willing to invest in fraudulent opportunities than legitimate ones. This was true across all treatment conditions. This is likely due to the fact that financial frauds often promise higher returns than honest business opportunities. A contributor factor is that financial frauds often are based on complicated financial instruments. It can, as an example, be very hard to differentiate a fraudulent and an honest forex instrument without knowing extensive knowledge of the forex trading industry.

Wind fields displayed on this web site are retrieved by DTU Wind Energy from satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations over the ocean.
Our SAR wind archive covers the seas around Europe and other selected seas around the world during the years 2002 to present. There is a gap in the data series from April 2012 to April 2014 due to a lack of European satellite SAR data coverage.
Wind fields are typically available on this web site within a day after data acquisition by the satellites. Although we process raw satellite observations to wind fields as quickly as possible, we cannot always guarantee delivery on the acquisition date.
The SAR wind maps show Equivalent Neutral Wind speeds at 10 m above the sea surface. Wind directions are expressed in degrees (0-360) from North using the meteorological convention (i.e. the direction that the wind is coming from). Wind directions displayed on the maps are obtained from ancillary data. We use wind directions from a global model per default.
Thanks to a high spatial resolution, SAR imagery is very suitable for observation and characterization of mesoscale meteorological phenomena such as island and mountain wakes, gap flows, and synoptic fronts (C. B. Hasager et al., 2015). An extensive gallery of images and interpretations of meteorological phenomena can be found in Beal et al. (2004). Effects of large man-made structures such as offshore wind farms and platforms can also be observed in great detail (C. Hasager et al., 2015).
The examples below show some of the wind phenomena which can be detected from SAR.
Wind fields displayed on this site are primarily retrieved from SAR data provided by the European Space Agency (ESA). A smaller collection of SAR scenes from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) can also be found in the archive. The SAR scenes are acquired by polar-orbiting satellites, which circumvents the Earth at altitudes on the order of 400-700 km.
ESA's Sentinel-1 mission is a constellation of two satellites, each with a C-band SAR on board. Sentinel-1A was launched on 3 April 2014 and Sentinel-1B on 25 April 2016. Both sensors are operating at present. Over the ocean, Sentinel-1 data acquisition is performed in Interferometric Wide swath (IW) or Extra Wide swath (EW) mode according to pre-defined observation scenario.
ESA's ENVISAT mission was launched in 2002 and its data acquisition was terminated in April 2012. ENVISAT carried an Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) operating in C-band with several different modes. The majority of Envisat ASAR scenes in this archive have been acquired in Wide Swath mode (WSM) or Global Monitoring mode (GMM) with a swath width of 400 km and variable lengths. The Image mode (IM) and Alternating Polarisation mode (APP) are suitable for ocean wind retrieval over smaller areas due to their swath width of 100 km. This archive holds a limited collection of processed data based on these modes.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) operates the TerraSAR-X mission since January 2008. Data are processed over selected sites as part of scientific projects and the resulting wind fields are displayed on this site. TerraSAR-X is and X-band SAR sensor with different modes. This archive contains scenes acquired in ScanSAR, Stripmap, and Spotlight mode.


our approach
Connectivity and collective wellbeing is key for our communities. We know that meaning comes from enhancing ways of being that reflect the interconnectedness of things.
The current systems that govern and control the way we live, work and play in contemporary society are damaging our human potential to collaborate and self-determine our collective wellbeing. We need to develop alternatives that make sense because they unlock our potential and work better.
Our value system embodies:
 - Regeneration not just sustainability
 - Provenance
 - Ethical production values
We live the kaupapa and demonstrate the difference it makes to what we do or achieve and what others can also do or achieve. We work with and embrace interconnection. We utilise the community capitals evaluation and impact model.
We curate relationships of trust, care and collaboration based on really knowing each other.
We build, use, share and expand our individual and collective kete of assets, resources and skills to deploy all resources required in the execution and success of our communities' commercial activities.

Function of Cartilage
Supports soft tissue, such as the C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings in the trachea
Growth Patterns of Cartilage
Cartilage grows in two ways:
Interstitial Growth and Appositional Growth
Interstitial Growth (stage 3)
Cells synthesize and secrete new cartilage matrix, they are pushed apart and now reside in their own lacunae
Interstitial Growth (stage4)
The new individual cells within their own lacunae are called chondrocytes. new matrix has been produced internally, and thrus interstitial growth has occurred.
Appositional Growth (second type of Cartilage Growth)
Growth that occurs later in life after full maturity due to injury or healing. This growth occurs only at the prriphery of the tissue.
Appositional Growth (stage 1)
Stem cells at the internal edge of the perchondrium begin to divide, forming new and committed cells
type of stem cell that can produce a subset of like cells (ex. hematapoetic cells - blood stem cells).
Appostional Growth (stage 3)
These chondroblasts, located at the periphery of the old cartilage, begin to produce and secrete new cartilage matrix, they are pushed apart and now reside in their own lacunae.
Appositional Growth (stage 4)
The new matrix has been produced peripherally, and thus appositional growth has occured.
How do the three cartilage types differ with respect to their locations and functions in the body?

Licensing and Regulatory Boards and Commissions
Nevada Dairy Commission
Dairy Commission Administrative History
The Nevada Dairy Commission was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1955 for the purpose of ensuring that an adequate and continuous supply of nutritious, wholesome, fluid milk and dairy products is available to Nevada consumers. Laws and regulations allow the Dairy Commission to monitor the dairy industry through auditing and investigative activities. The Dairy Commission is dedicated to promoting a business climate that is economically viable for those who produce and process dairy products in Nevada.
The original legislation established that it is the policy of the state of Nevada to promote, foster and encourage intelligent production and orderly marketing of commodities necessary to its citizens, including milk; and to eliminate speculation, waste, improper marketing, unfair and destructive trade practices and improper accounting for milk purchased from producers.
The purpose of the act to establish the Dairy Commission was:
- To provide funds for administration and enforcement of the act, by assessments to be paid by producers of fluid mild and fluid cream or both, and from licenses issued to distributors.
- To authorize and enable the commission to prescribe marketing areas which are necessary due to varying factors of costs or production, health regulations, transportation and other factors in said marketing areas.
- To authorize and enable the commission to formulate stabilization and marketing plans.
- To enable the dairy industry with the aid of the state to correct existing evils, develop and maintain satisfactory marketing conditions and bring about a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production and marketing of fluid milk and fluid cream.
The original legislation in 1955 established a Commission of five members: one producer, one distributor, one producer-distributor, one operator of a retail store, and one member a representative of the consuming public. The Commission appointed employees necessary to carry out the provisions of the legislation.
The Dairy Commission is funded from fees collected through licenses, permits, and assessments on regulated dairy products. It does not receive funds from the State General Fund.
The 1955 legislation classified fluid milk into three classes with class one being milk marketed as milk, class two being ice cream and class three being butter and cheese. It also directed the Commission to hold public hearings in the State Marketing Areas to determine Stabilization and Marketing Plans for these areas.
The legislation did not provide adequate funds for the Commission to operate so it returned to the Legislature in 1957 and received supplemental legislation. This included increasing the Commission to nine members. The new Dairy Commission had its first meeting on May 22, 1957 and employed as its first Secretary-Administrator Clarence J. Cassady.
The Commission established three Marketing Areas for Nevada which were the Western Marketing Area based in Reno, the Eastern Marketing Area based in Ely, and the Southern Marketing Area based in Las Vegas. Public hearings were held in these Marketing Areas in 1956 and 1957 to establish area Stabilization and Marketing Plans which set minimum prices necessary to accomplish the purpose of the legislation. The categories of these minimum prices established were producer, wholesaler, and retailer. This price fixing on the producer, wholesale, and retail levels became the most controversial of all the duties of the Dairy Commission. The Commission always emphasized that these were floor prices and it was very rare for a retailer to sell milk anywhere near the floor and that high milk prices could not be blamed on the Nevada Dairy Commission.
Over the years the nine member commission which was made up of members of the Dairy industry was thought to be an inadequate regulator of the industry as too many of the members had conflicts of interest. A climax came in the mid-1970s when scandal ran through the Nevada dairy industry involving illegal rebates and kick back payments. In 1976 a Nevada Legislative Bulletin recommended a large overhaul of the Dairy Commission; the 1977 Legislature followed through with the interim study recommendations to change the makeup and the purpose of the Nevada Dairy Commission.
The 1977 legislation reduced the number of the members of the Dairy Commission to three and decreed that one member shall be a public accountant or a certified public account, one member shall be an agricultural economist, and one member shall be experienced in banking or finance. The legislation for the management of the Commission was greatly rewritten and the way that the Dairy Commission did its business greatly changed. Public hearings and commission meetings became much less contentious and the number of applications that were rejected dropped. The price fixing powers of the Commission were greatly reduced as minimum retail prices could no longer be set by the Commission. This legislation and restructuring of the Commission led to only minimum wholesale prices being set by the Commission through a formula established by the staff and members of the Dairy Commission for each of the classes of fluid milk.
The Nevada Dairy Commission when established in 1955 was placed administratively under the Governor's Office as one of the boards and commissions whose members were appointed by the Governor. In 1993 the Commission became a unit of the new Department of Business and Industry. The members of the Commission continue to be appointed by the Governor and the Executive Director of the Commission continues to function as the Secretary of the Commission.

As an Introduction to the Special Issue on "Formulation, generalization, and abstraction in interaction," this paper discusses key problems of a conversation analytic (CA) approach to semantics in interaction. Prior research in CA and Interactional Linguistics has only rarely dealt with issues of linguistic meaning in interaction. It is argued that this is a consequence of limitations of sequential analysis to capture meaning in interaction. While sequential analysis remains the encompassing methodological framework, it is suggested that it needs to be complemented by analyzing semantic relationships between choices of formulation in the interaction, ethnography, and structural techniques of comparing selected options with possible alternatives. The paper describes the methodological approach taken to interactional semantics by the papers in the Special Issue, which analyse practices of generalization and abstraction in interaction as they are accomplished by formulations of prior versions of reference and description.

The Sanskrit word "Samdhya", or "Twilight", actually refers to four times during the day: dawn, midday, dusk, and midnight. These are the points of transition, where one form of activity switches to another. These times of day are seen as especially potent for meditation and inner work.
Samdhya can be seen as deriving from "samdhi", a joint or junction, or as deriving from sam + dhya, where "sam" means "together" or "completely" and "dhya" means "meditation."
There are many other layers to the Tantric and Yogic concept of Twilight, but suffice it to say that many mystical and magical traditions around the world have given special importance to liminality, the "space between."
The Hatha Pradipika (quoting the Khecari Vidya) says, "Neither worship the Shiva Lingam by day or night. Worship the Shiva Lingam instead by stopping the day and night."
