Croda Supports Hand Sanitiser Manufacture and Vaccine Development During Covid-19 Outbreak
Croda International Plc, who use smart science to create, make and sell speciality chemicals that improve lives, are supporting the manufacturer of hand sanitiser during the outbreak of Covid-19 through the supply of additional glycerine to their customers in Western Europe, free of charge.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has seen a global shortage in items such as hand sanitisers, and to help their customers supply essential items during the pandemic, to date, Croda has gifted enough glycerine to manufacture five million* bottles of hand sanitiser. The company plans to review with customers where more glycerine could be gifted. The glycerine in hand sanitiser helps to protect hands from the drying effects of other ingredients, such as alcohol.
Croda's leading saponin vaccine adjuvants are also being gifted to projects across the world that are working on a vaccination for Covid-19. Whilst not confirmed that they will be in a final vaccine, the company's smart science has a valuable role to play in the development of an effective and safe vaccine for Covid-19. Read more


strong enough that it stops you if you paddle normally. If at that point you paddle at the harder rate you'll hit 2.5 mph against the wind, gaining much more (2.5 mph instead of 1) for your extra effort. It is of course possible to have a wind strong enough that it can't be paddled against. Also, I find that paddling into wind is very frustrating regardless of whether you're making progress... I'll avoid it if possible. A GPS helps since it tells you how much headway you're making even if it feels like none.
And speaking of GPS... they can be extremely useful in this setting. I find a compass very hard to use since you're often detecting angles that are small enough you have to be careful, and if it's anything difficult you'll need your hands on your paddle anyway. Even without installed maps a GPS tells you what your true velocity is, which is often the thing you most want to know on the water.
In general, there are many cases where navigating wind and currents can be really complex and interesting. Even after getting pretty comfortable with this in the Inside Passage we'd still encounter situations we just could not make sense of (why is the current going up this bay when the tide is going out???) There's a lot to think about, but one thing I'll throw out is that currents tend to change after the tide changes in long bays. So in a long fjord like Portland Canal on the AK/Canada border will see the current go from in to out over 2 hours after high tide, whereas in a small bay or lagoon the change in current will coincide with the switch in tide. In theory, in in infinitely long bay, the current will switch at mid-tide (~3 hours off high or low). For the science geeks out there, you can show this using conservation of volume and assuming the force changing current velocity is water surface slope.
Wind is even more complex. And rips that form because of interaction between wind, currents, and waves can add a whole new dimension. Overall, there's lots of cool stuff you can do if you start conservatively and only push into difficult crossings once you feel comfortable with them.
When thinking about hazards, the thing we most fear is being partway through a crossing and having a strong out-bay wind come up that drives us beyond the reach of shore. Increasing waves repeatedly flip the boat and even if you manage to get in a couple times you're quickly exhausted and hypothermic... the end. So how do you avoid this unfortunate scenario? First and foremost think in terms of your outs. That one tiny island off the mouth of the bay could be a lifesaver. A decision to turn back 1/3 of the way through a crossing might allow you to cross wind and get to safety. If you're really screwed, throw your pack, connected to the lanyard, overboard as a sea-anchor and hope the wind dies before you do. Winds that come up quickly sometimes die quickly too.
Ice as a whole is actually not a great danger... it breaks up waves (effectively reducing fetch) and even wind to some extent. Beware large glacier bergs that might collapse. Andrew alludes to one situation where otherwise fairly benign ice and wind combine to become extremely bad. If you're running with the wind (generally fairly easy) and there's some ice in the water, ice can build up against the shore and prevent you from getting to shore. Instead you get pushed into a mass of ice that is shifting and grinding in the wind...
At this point I'm in danger of just rambling, so I'll call this good. Last thought: Paddling along a rocky coast in a packraft is really fun, and something to look for opportunities to do in a trip. Crossing bays can be extremely useful, but is really dull and more dangerous... not really something to be sought out unless you need it.

State and Local Governments
The federal government provides financial support for state and local governments, imposes restrictions on the activities of those governments, and offers incentives for those governments to undertake or not undertake certain activities. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) ensures that, during the legislative process, the Congress receives information about restrictions on state, local, and tribal governments (and on private entities) known as federal mandates. Specifically, CBO produces mandate statements for each committee-approved bill.

Should wellheads be above or below the ground surface?
Posted: June 2, 2010
Many private well owners in Pennsylvania have wellheads that are buried below the surface of the ground. This may be appealing to homeowners that don't like looking at a pipe sticking up in the middle of their yard, but research studies have demonstrated a clear benefit to having an extended wellhead.
What problems can a buried well cause?
Wells that are buried below the ground can have numerous disadvantages to wells that are extended above the ground surface. The most obvious disadvantage is that the well is not easily accessible by the well driller in the event that it needs to be serviced. Often the homeowner is unaware of the wells exact location underground, which can lead to added expense if the driller needs to do some investigating.
Wells buried below the ground surface are also more susceptible to bacterial contamination. Research studies conducted at Penn State University have found that wells buried in pits are more likely to have the presence of coliform bacteria than wells that are extended above the earth's surface.
What can you do to fix your buried well?
Fortunately, it is not usually difficult to extend a wellhead above the ground. A qualified water well driller should be able to weld or thread extra casing to your existing well and raise it above the ground. If the well was buried in a pit, it should be filled in with bentonite grout to the land surface. A sanitary or vermin-proof well cap should also be installed on the newly extended casing to ensure that surface contamination can not enter the well. As an added protection, the ground should be sloped away from your wellhead in all directions to prevent any surface water from ponding around the well.
After having the well extended, it would be a wise to take a sample of your drinking water to a state certified water testing lab for analysis. If the water tests positive for coliform bacteria then steps should be taken to disinfect the well. Information on coliform bacteria can be found at the link below.
How high should the well casing be extended above the ground?
Any distance is better than having it buried below ground, but it is ideal to extend the well casing at least 12 inches above the ground surface.

Sea Scouting had its beginning at a camp fire in England when Lord Baden-Powell voiced the hope that older Scouts would be interested in learning about boat management and seamanship. He stressed the need for young men to prepare themselves for service on their country's ships. (See also A Short History of Sea Scouting in the United Kingdom and the Early History of Sea Scouting.)
Following the campfire, there was activity in England that resulted in Lord Baden-Powell's older brother, Warington, writing a book called Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys. It was enthusiastically received by the young men of Britain and soon found its way to the United States.
Sea Scouting in America was founded in 1912. That year, Arthur A. Carey of Waltham, Massachusetts, had Sea Scouts using the schooner Pioneer and was appointed Chairman of the National Council Committee on Sea Scouting. That summer, Charles T. Longstreth organized a Sea Scout patrol on his yacht in Philadelphia. Both of these men prepared pamphlets on Sea Scouting and Carey's Cruising for Sea Scouts was the first literature related to Sea Scouting.
A booklet that preceded the first Sea Scout manual published in 1915 gave some direction to Sea Scouting. It was entitled Nautical Scouting and was compiled by Charles Longstreth.
Since its beginning, the Boy Scouts of America had been aware of the need for an older-boy program. Mr. Carey made the first real effort to satisfy that need when he helped promote Sea Scouting with his pamphlet.
In a report to the National Executive Board, Mr. Carey recommended that Sea Scouting be recognized as a special department of the Boy Scouts of America. He suggested that the pamphlet Cruising for Sea Scouts be accepted as a supplement to the Handbook for Boys until a more complete Sea Scout manual could be written.
From 1912 to 1917, Sea Scouting struggled through a difficult period. And yet, with little or no national guidance, it managed to grow.
In addition, G. V. L. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy, in February 1913, encouraged the development of Sea Scouting and extended the cooperation of the Navy Department. This was the beginning of a fruitful period of cooperation for Sea Scouting with the nation's armed services.
Sea Scouting received a real boost in October 1917, when James Austin Wilder (a veteran sailor, global traveler, artist, and devoted Boy Scout volunteer) was secured as Director of the Department of Sea Scouting of the Boy Scouts of America. For several years, as a volunteer, Mr. Wilder worked full time for Sea Scouting with the title of Chief Sea Scout.
He organized the scattered Sea Scout units info a national organization that generated the first wide-spread interest in Sea Scouting. Gathering all of the experience and scattered bits of literature used in the program, Mr. Wilder supervised the preparation of the first Sea Scout Manual in 1919. In those days, Sea Scouting followed a pattern of action that was very similar to that of a Boy Scout troop; for example: boys wore khaki uniforms. In order to register, they had to subscribe to the Scout Oath and law and pass the Tenderfoot requirements. Membership required that a boy be 15 years of age and weigh at least 112 pounds. (See also James Austin Wilder.)
For many years the Sea Scout program was aimed at older boys who had graduated from Boy Scout troops. Sea Scout units began to be called ships. The age-old organization of skippers, mates, boatswains, coxswains and crews began to be used.
On July 15, 1920, the well-illustrated fourth edition of the Sea Scout Manual was printed and sold in large quantities. Then came a period of 2 or 3 years in which Sea Scouting struggled to be recognized and understood. Although membership fell off, the program proved healthy enough to withstand this period of adjustment. Finally it began to grow as more councils gave it enthusiastic support.
Over the years, one of the persons most responsible for the development of Sea Scouting was Commander Thomas J. Keane. Between 1922 and 1925, he completely revised the Sea Scout program. He wrote the new requirements for advancement and changed the Boy Scout nature of Sea Scout uniforms into the seagoing uniform that Sea Scouts still wear today. As a result of his fine leadership, the Sea Scout Manual was almost completely revised. Under his direction, it was published in 1924.
Commander Keane served as acting director of the Sea Scout department in the national office from 1923 until January 15, 1927. His annual report of 1925 indicates that there were 85 registered Sea Scout ships. A similar report in 1926 revealed an increase of 38 ships for a total of 123 ships.
In 1927, Commander Keane was appointed the national director of Sea Scouting, its first full-time professional director. One of T.J. Keane's earliest project was organizing the first Antarctic expedition to include a Scout. The Scout, Eagle Scout and Able Sea Scout Paul Siple of Erie Pennsylvania, ably participated in Admiral Robert Byrd's expedition of 1928-29. In the years the followed, Siple built a career on Antarctic exploration and extreme cold weather climatology. (See also Eagle Scout Siple with Admiral Byrd in the Antarctic.)
In the years that followed, there was a marked increase in the number of units and boys registered in Sea Scouting. By 1930 the membership had reached 8,043 young men. In the 1930's, with the cooperation of other departments in the national office of the Boy Scouts of America, he developed training courses for leaders, new registration procedures, and more acceptable Sea Scout equipment and uniforms. He also developed a National Sea Scout flagship competition in 1928 which has been in use in varying forms up to today. Click here to view a historical listing of National and Regional flagships.
A major revision of the manual was made in 1939 by the national committee. The new version was written by Carl D. Lane, an outstanding skipper and author of many books and articles about small ships and the sea.
With a membership of more than 27,000, Sea Scouting served its country well in World War II. Commander Keane was recalled to active service in the Navy and resigned his position as national director of Sea Scouting.
Thousands upon thousands of former and active Sea Scouts joined the Navy and made a tremendous impression on Admiral Chester Nimitz, who sincerely believed that Sea Scouts were better trained and better equipped to help the Navy win out over the enemy and the elements.
Throughout the rest of the 1940's, Sea Scouting continued to serve the boys of America who were interested in the lore of the sea. Sea Scouts all over the nation participated in flood relief and community service. They were in evidence at national jamborees. Sea Scout ships across the country held competitive events known as rendezvous and regattas.
Based on the written report of ship activities-the ship log - a national committee selected the ship with the most outstanding record to be the national flagship. Quite surprisingly, two years this honor was achieved by a Sea Scout ship located in the rather arid state of Kansas. Its Skipper was Dr. William C. Menninger, one of the early greats in Sea Scouting.
In May 1949, the National Executive Board made sweeping changes in the older-boy program, as a result of a study made by the Research Service of the Boy Scouts of America. This revision of Senior Scouting recognized as Explorers all young men who were 14 years of age or older and registered with the Boy Scouts of America.
So, on September 1, 1949, the Sea Scouts officially became Sea Explorers. This was primarily a change in terminology since the old Sea Scout program continued much the same is it had in the past.
In 1954, the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America authorized the Research Institute for Social Service of the University of Michigan to make a national study of adolescent boys. This survey revealed the needs, desires, and concerns of 14- to 16- year old boys across the nation. As a result, a completely new Explorer program was developed and put into effect on January 1, 1959. However, this did not bring about a change in Sea Exploring. It was decided that changes should be postponed until there had been sufficient time to observe Sea Exploring in operation alongside the new Explorer program. After 5 years, in which there was ample time to make such observations, the decision was made to revise the program.
The national committee on Exploring worked closely with the Exploring Division in making recommendations for this revision. Groups of experienced volunteers also assistedespecially in the revision of advancement requirements. The object was to make available to Sea Exploring some of the elements of the new Explorer program that had been found effective, while preserving the integrity of Sea Scouting with its traditions.
After extensive field testing, the Exploring Division put the revised Sea Exploring program into effect. This was done in May 1966 with a new edition titled Sea Exploring Manual, written by Arthur N. Lindgren.
In 1968, a new Exploring Division, BSA was organized and established under the direction of John M. Claerhout, who placed a new emphasis on Sea Exploring by naming William J. Lidderdale as the first time director of Sea Scouting since 1935.
Afterwards, a new National Sea Exploring Committee was formed with Morgan F. Fitch, Jr., as Chair, to give new national volunteer emphasis to the promotion and support


A Quick History of Ice Cream
Who doesn't like ice cream? Did you know that 70% of all American households have at least of one pint of ice cream (or similar frozen treat) in their freezer right now!?
The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (A.D. 618-97) of China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.
After the dessert was imported to the United States, it was served by several famous Americans. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served it to their guests. In 1700, Governor Bladen of Maryland was recorded as having served it to his guests. During the 1770s, ice cream was referred to as iced puddings and the cones were called wafers. During this period, wafers were considered as "stomach settlers" and were served at the end of the meal to calm digestion. They eventually became decadent treats and were an important element of the dessert course. When rolled into "funnels" or "cornucopias," they would be filled with a wide variety of fruit pastes, creams, and iced puddings..
There is some controversy over who invented the first ice cream cone. Although some food historians feel that the first cones were invented in the United States in the 19th century, my research shows paper and metal cones were used in France, England, and Germany before the 19th century. There are written accounts of travelers to Düsseldorf, Germany eating ice cream out of edible cones in the late 1800s and even a record of cones being used in the 1700's!
Although it might take a little work on your end, I encourage you to find a local ice cream shop that makes their own ice cream (and cones) in house. It is well worth the effort. It will cost more than the big box retailers, but the taste, quality, and unique flavors (like guava buttermilk) will make it impossible to ever go back to the boring options you'll find in a grocery store.
Mark your calendars!
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. He recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by over 90 percent of the nation's population. In this proclamation, President Reagan called for all people of the United States to observe these events with "appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Genetic Effects on the Timing of Ledav2 Induced Necrosis of Cotton
- William L. Rooney and
- David M. Stelly
Cotton (Gossypium spp.) embryos carrying the Ledav2 allele in combination with the Le1 allele at the Le1 locus and/or the Le2 allele at the Le2 locus undergo a hybrid lethality reaction, which causes progressive necrosis and death between germination up to 21 d postgermination. Timing of the necrosis is thought to be controlled by the cumulative dosage of alleles Le1 and Le2 interacting with Ledav2, but there have been no studies to identify the exact genetic relationship between the alleles Le1, Le2, and Ledav2 in terms of timing of necrosis induced by the Ledav2 complementary lethality system. The objectives of this study were to determine: (i) if the timing of necrosis is under genetic control of the loci Lel and Le2, and (ii) if the mechanism of timing or mode of gene action is consistent across genotypes. Five cultivars (Le1Le1Le2Le2) were used as sources of Le1 and Le2 alleles. Seedlings from reciprocal crosses of (cultivar ✕ le1le1le2le2) F1 plants and an le1le1Ledav2Ledav2 tester were scored for the presence and timing of the lethal reaction. Frequency histograms were used to phenotypicaily group seedlings according to the time of death. Observed frequencies of the phenotypic groups were tested against frequencies expected for digenic segregation. Results indicated that increased dosage of alleles Le1 and Le2 with Ledav2 hastens necrosis, but variation among cultivars indicated that Le1-Ledav2 and Le2-Ledav2 interactions may not always be distinctly different. Three possible explanations for these differences are: (i) that additional loci are involved, (ii) that allelic action is modified by background genotypic differences, and/or (iii) that the Le1 and Le2 loci are polymorphic.

getTriples('_URL_
 foreach($triples as $s => $po) {
 foreach($po as $p => $o) {
 echo "\n".''.$s.''.$p.''.$o[0]['value'].'';
This is a pretty simple template which we can reuse. It is simply rendering the resulting triples in a table. The most noteworthy line here is:
The getTriples function gets all the triples for us from our SPARQL query result and we place it in a multi-dimensional array. In this example, we are getting all the triples with subject _URL_ It should give us the same triples we've imported into our RDF store. But we could also get other triples that match the pattern for parameters (subject, property, object) e.g.,
$this->getTriples('_URL_ '_URL_
That would get us all the triples with subject _URL_ and property _URL_ An alias to this is the getValue function where we can use qnames for the property position:
$this->getValue('_URL_ 'foaf:knows');
You can define more qnames in $config['prefixes'] at /var/www/site/config.php. See also /var/www/lib/linked-data-pages/README for more uses of getTriples like wildcards.
For complex templating, that is, if you'd like to do more data processing with PHP, you can dive into the SITE_Template class in /var/www/classes/SITE_Template.php instead of creating your functions directly inside HTML templates. The functions in here can be called directly from your templates.
If you are curious about internals of Linked Data Pages, see this article section.
If you have made it this far, congratulations! But don't stop here, take your site even further by building useful interactions for your consumers. Consider the following items:
 - Create a VoiD file to describe your Linked Datasets.
 - Create applications that makes use of your data.
 - Create data visualisations to help your users to get insights into the data that you are publishing.
The setup outlined in this article is more or less used at 270a.info. One of the goals of Linked Data Pages is to have a framework where a Linked Data site can be created with minimal "development" work. This framework relies heavily on Paget, which in return relies heavily on Moriarty and ARC2. Even though Paget has some quirks, with Moriarty and ARC2, it worked out quite well and got me at least 80% of the way there. There are probably a few more things I could iron out (i.e., fix bugs, not reinvent) once I address the finer details of Paget and Moriarty. Here is my to-do list for Linked Data Pages:
 - An additional administration user interface for site configuration, instead of having to edit config files directly.
 - Improve templating by adding more common functions.
 - Integration of data visualisations for common data dimensions.
Let's wrap this up here. All feedback are most welcome. Let me know how all this works out for you, especially if you would like me to clarify anything further. Happy Linking and stuff =)

Hi, I've been working on a Library which makes some of the output end of this even easier. _URL_
It allows you to pull data about a resource quite easily from SPARQL, either by a query or listing the predicates of interest.
It lets you work with the loaded graph in a much friendlier way than with raw triples.
It handles providing alternate views on the data required to build a page for a resource.

Hi Christopher. Thanks for mentioning Graphite. I've came across Graphite a while back and find it pretty neat. I'd like to take a look at it at again at some point.
I didn't get too into Linked Data Pages' features in this article because it was intended to be a quick summary on how to get something up and running. Perhaps an update is in order.
Like Graphite, LDP comes with a bunch of function calls that let's you easily dissect whatever is in the query result and have it ready in the templates. Generally speaking, helper functions which do more than the common data manipulation probably gets to be domain specific. Similarly, that line of development (or thinking) results in something along the lines of Fresnel - which I consider to be quite useful as well.
Personally, what I find really handy in LDP is to be able to trigger a SPARQL query, and an accompanying template based on the requested URL pattern.
Tarje Lavik's photoTarje Lavik replied on
I am testing out LDP, but i am having trouble the URI mapping. My settings are below.
$config['site']['server'] = 'localhost'; /*'site' in http://site */ $config['site']['path'] = '/site';
$config['server']['example.org'] = 'localhost'; /* URI maps e.g., _URL_ to http://site/resource/Montreal */
This results queries like this: on http://localhost/site/book/book2>. This returns nothin as the resource in Fuseki is .
When i change the settings in config.php i can not set it so "/site" is removed from the query. Is there something i can do to make this work?
Thanks in advance!

You are of course correct. I had forgot to enable the site in apache. Sorry about that. Now I can get to explore templating with LDP. Looks like it could fit my needs :-).
vali's photovali replied on
Hey, thank you for this tutorial! I seem to have a problem, i can't start the Fuseki server (can't find the jar file). It is a bit odd... cand you help me?
jdk's photojdk replied on
The tutorial is very helpful. You might want to add to your tutorial a hint on two issues that sidetracked me for a long time: (1) If you find it impossible to run./s-put or other./s commands in your fuseki directory, make sure that they are enabled for execution using, e.g., chmod 744 s-* (2) On the LDP install.php page, you'll get examples that have a trailing / at the end of directory paths. Be certain *not* to terminate a path with that /
Also, I am uncertain what steps a person would follow to set up a reverse proxy for this particular example. Could you provide something more on this?
I made it all the way to the install.php script provided by LDP, but the resultant index.php file renders blank in my browser. So I'm a bit stuck, wondering if the answer is in the reverse proxy.

Hi Saven,
The tutorial looks great! Unfortunately, I am experiencing problems at the very start... On trying to build the fuseki server [mvn clean package] - I get dependency resolution problems:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jena-fuseki: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.jena:jena-fuseki:jar:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.apache.jena:jena-spatial:jar:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT in apache.snapshots (_URL_ -> [Help 1]
Perhaps the given repository does not contain that jar any more. Could you suggest a different repo, that would sort my problem out?

Hi Saven This is a great tutorial
Unfortunatelly, I get the same problem like Stefan and Collin. I'm wondering how can i find the right repository. If there are any method to find this solution, i would be really grateful.
Since i can't find any other tutorial so i hope you can help Thanks! :D

From minimalist design and catchy pop music, to the elusive concept of hygge, people everywhere are swooning over Scandinavian culture. The latest up-and-coming export from Europe's far north? Parenting. And with good reason. When U.S. News ranked the best countries to raise a child in 2017, Sweden came in on top, followed by Norway and Denmark in second and third place. Their strong economies in combination with the most generous parental leave policies in the world naturally help the Scandinavian countries consistently score high in these types of reports. But there's more to the Scandinavian parenting culture than that. Here are five parenting lessons you can learn from Scandinavian moms and dads:
1. There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes
2. Embrace the wild in the child
While wild and dirty kids are often frowned upon in other cultures, digging in the dirt and stomping around in the mud are par for the course for children in Scandinavia. In fact, parents even encourage and cherish messy play, since it's considered an essential part of a good childhood. It can be a boon to children's health, too. Letting them dig in dirt exposes them to healthy bacteria, which in turn can help build a strong immune system, improve gut health, and reduce the risk of asthma and allergies. Some bacteria are even known to trigger the brain's production of the "feel-good" neurotransmitter serotonin. With that in mind, running your washing machine a little more often seems like a small trade-off!
3. Forget the flashcards
Scandinavian parents mainly expect one thing from their children in the early years: that they spend as much time as possible playing. And they have plenty of time for it, since formal schooling doesn't start until age six or seven. Most parents and preschool teachers agree that children will learn what they need to learn when they're ready for it and there is no pressure to teach children how to read and write early. They may be on to something, since research has shown that by age 11, there is no significant difference between children who learn to read at age five and those who learn at age seven. The kicker? Those who learn later have better text comprehension and a more positive attitude toward reading.
4. Freedom fosters responsibility
Busy extra-curricular schedules and a fear of (in no particular order) lawsuits, strangers, nature, traffic, and a surprise visit from Child Protective Services are keeping many American kids under virtual house arrest. Not so much in Scandinavia, where even young children are given the freedom to climb trees, use real tools, play with fire, and walk to the neighborhood playground on their own. By the time they're nine or 10, they're typically expected to get to their after-school activities on their own—by foot, bike, or by using public transit. This, Scandinavian parents believe, helps them learn how to judge risk, make sound decisions, and be responsible, and research suggests that they're right.
5. It's all about the friluftsliv
There's no doubt Scandinavian kids love their TV shows and electronic devices. But young children don't spend nearly as much time in front of screens as their American counterparts, and their parents have a powerful trick to get them to unplug: friluftsliv. Roughly translated to "open-air living," friluftsliv can be described as a way of life that revolves around appreciating and spending time in nature. But you don't have to live in pristine countryside to enjoy friluftsliv—it's all about appreciating nature in everyday life, and walking around the neighborhood or grilling hot dogs in a local park counts, too. In addition to helping parents balance screen time with green time, friluftsliv is a powerful way for children to learn about their role in the natural world, and how to become good stewards of the land. And ultimately, that's probably the most important lesson of them all.

This children's book about the night the Titanic sunk is an evocative new spin on the disaster.
The sinking of the Titanic is probably the world's most famous maritime disaster, and 2012 not only marks 100 years since the ship hit the iceberg, but also 100 years of books, journals, films and television programmes discussing every inch of the ship from every possible angle. The challenge for any author wishing to contribute to this ever expanding library of works is to add something new and engage an audience that inevitably already knows how the story ends.
Keeping broadly within the confines of documented events Allan Wolf's novel, written in verse, gives a fictional voice to many of those people who were on board the ship based on the available historical evidence. From millionaires and socialites to refugees and immigrants, from the captain of the ship to the stoker in the boiler room, Wolf engages us with the individual stories that could all too easily be lost in the icy waters of the Atlantic.
There will be many books published on the Titanic this year, but whilst some will appeal solely to the Titanic devotee, The Watch That Ends the Night is an intelligent account for older children, but deserves to be enjoyed by a far wider audience. Not only do the different voices combine to provide a rich picture of life on the ship, and of the time, but the extensive back material will provide plenty of further information for those who discover the continuing appeal of the Titanic.

WCS's New York Aquarium Opens New 1,500-Square-Foot Exhibit on World Oceans Day
A-MAZE-ING Water opens to the public on June 8, 2012 Brooklyn, N.Y. – May 14, 2012 –
Interactive exhibit will immerse visitors in the world of water conservation
Maze includes watershed environments, rivers, lakes, oceans and environmental threats
Weekend programming includes art exhibits, hands-on activities and much more
A-MAZE-ING Water will feature elements of the New York Seascape, the aquarium's conservation program that works to preserve local NY waters
Exhibit will be open through September 9th
The Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium will open a new summer exhibit, A-MAZE-ING Water, as part of the celebration of World Oceans Day on June 8, 2012. The event and exhibit will run through September 9.
The program will feature Water's Extreme Journey, where visitors will travel through a 1,500-square-foot maze, learning about the environmental threats that plague our waterways along their way to an ocean-themed destination.
Water's Extreme Journey interactive maze will be located under the pavilion tent at the aquarium. Children will be engaged with a range of interactive experiences as they ride a zipline through pollutants, put together water cycle puzzles, spin a wildlife wheel of facts and learn the importance of water. Educational messaging helps visitors to become caring, informed stewards of our local and global waterways and the wildlife that depends on them. Guests will also learn about the aquarium's New York Seascape, a conservation program designed to restore healthy populations of local marine species—many of them threatened—and to protect New York marine waters.
Water's Extreme Journey exhibit will be open daily. A-MAZE-ING Water will also feature special hands-on activities that will take place on weekends only and include:
- Take Action Mailbox Station – Visitors can act immediately on their concerns based upon what they just experienced in the maze and appeal to local legislators to support clean water initiatives. This area gives them the opportunity to voice their concerns by writing a letter, drawing a picture, or making a collage. Letters and art will be delivered to local government officials.
- Giant Community Mosaic – Using imagination, visitors can create more than 600 mosaic tiles that combine to make a large-scale work of art. The Wyland-designed mosaic reinforces the power of community coming together for a common goal.
- Model of Local Watershed – A model of a typical watershed will give visitors a chance to see how pollutants turn into run-off that affects drinking water and impacts the health of our oceans.
- New York Seascape Interactive – Visitors will explore the New York Bight and discover the remarkable diversity of marine life that lives in local waters (330 species of marine fish, 26 species of sharks and four species of sea turtles) through an interactive game.
- Water-themed Art Exhibition: The aquarium's Ocean View Room will be transformed into The Conservation Gallery and feature multi-media artists who will display their works from a variety of mediums. All works of art will celebrate the importance, vitality, and beauty of water.
WCS's expansive Global Marine Program conducts conservation efforts in 20 countries and all four oceans to help save threatened and endangered species. Most recently, WCS launched the New York Seascape, a local conservation program part of WCS's A SEA CHANGE initiative, a 10-year plan to revitalize the aquarium and ignite the rebirth of Coney Island. An additional component to A SEA CHANGE includes construction of the Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit, scheduled to break ground later this year.

Category Archives: anathema
Anathema (from Koine Greek ἀνάθεμα "something dedicated, especially dedicated to evil" from ἀνατίθημι anatithēmi, "I set upon, offer as a votive gift") originally meant something lifted up as an offering to the gods; it later evolved to mean:
- to be formally set apart;
- banished, exiled, excommunicated;
- denounced, sometimes accursed; or
- a literary term.
There is some difficulty translating this word, especially since it has now become commonly used with the term accursed or accustomed. The original meaning of the Greek word, as used in non-Biblical Greek literature, was an offering to a god. The Hebrew word herem (חרם) referred to something forbidden or off limits. It was used in verses such as Leviticus 27:28 to refer to things offered to God, and hence off limits to common (non-religious) use. Because the Greek word anathema meant things offered to God, it was used to translate the Hebrew word herem in such contexts. Thus, the meaning of the Greek word, under the influence of the Hebrew word, was eventually taken as meaning "set apart", (like herem) rather than "offering to god", and eventually the word came to be seen as meaning "banished" and to be considered beyond the judgment and help of the community.
In Greek usage, an anathema was anything laid up or suspended; hence anything laid up in a temple or set apart as sacred. In this sense the form of the word was once (in plural) used in the Greek New Testament, in Luke 21:5, where it is rendered 'gifts.' It is used similarly in the Book of Judith, where it is translated as 'gift to the Lord.' In the Septuagint the form anathema is generally used as the rendering of the Hebrew word herem, derived from a verb which means (1) to consecrate or devote; and (2) to exterminate. Any object so sacrificed or devoted to the Lord could not be redeemed (Numbers 18:14; Leviticus 27:28-29); and hence the idea of exterminating was connected with the word. The Hebrew verb (haram) is frequently used of the extermination of idolatrous nations. It had a wide range of application. The anathema or herem was a person or thing irrevocably devoted to God (Leviticus 27:21, KJV); and "none devoted shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death" (KJV). The Hebrew word therefore carried the idea of devoted to destruction (Numbers 21:2-3; Joshua 6:17); and hence a majority of scholars have treated the word anathema similarly, generally as meaning a thing accursed. For example, in Deuteronomy 7:26 an idol is called a herem = anathema, understood to mean a thing accursed. There is however, an alternative view that the Greek word 'anathema,' in these passages, was used by the Greek Septuagint translators to mean "offered up to God."


text: Disturbances in brain copper result in rare and severe neurological disorders and may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Our current understanding of mammalian brain copper transport is based on model systems outside the central nervous system and no data are available regarding copper transport systems in the human brain. To address this deficit, we quantified regional copper concentrations and examined the distribution and cellular localization of the copper transport proteins Copper transporter 1, Atox1, ATP7A, and ATP7B in multiple regions of the human brain using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, western blot and immunohistochemistry. We identified significant relationships between copper transporter levels and brain copper concentrations, supporting a role for these proteins in copper transport in the human brain. Interestingly, the substantia nigra contained twice as much copper than that in other brain regions, suggesting an important role for copper in this brain region. Furthermore, ATP7A levels were significantly greater in the cerebellum, compared with other brain regions, supporting an important role for ATP7A in cerebellar neuronal health. This study provides novel data regarding copper regulation in the human brain, critical to understand the mechanisms by which brain copper levels can be altered, leading to neurological disease.

A kingdom is a state, province or city ruled by a King or a Queen at the heart of a monarchy. There are some countries around the world that are still monarchies such as in Brunei (2012). Kingdoms also appear in many fictional fairytales, books, films and games, such as in The Lord of the Rings where the Kingdom Of Rohan is ruled by the King; Théoden.
Whether you are writing a fantasy book, film or game, the right kingdom name can be a great way to add a sense of consolidated power in the hands of a single character, this can create pivotal decision points in any story or plot line which can add a twist to the whole story and keep the reader on the edge of their seat, so to speak. I hope this name generator will help you find a good kingdom name that will positively add to your project.
In ancient and medieval times, there were many kingdoms in Europe, Africa and Asia. Some major kingdoms appeared in France, Germany, Israel and many other countries. Some cool kingdom names from medieval times include: Kingdom of Powys, Kingdom of Strathclyde, Kingdom of Aragon and Kingdom of Asturias.

When I do the following.. anything done to Person b modifies Person a (I thought doing this would clone Person b from Person a). I also have NO idea if changing Person a will change Person b after the linking. Due to my code right now, I can only see this in 1 direction.
Person a = new Person() { head = "big", feet = "small" };
Person b = a;
b.head = "small"; //now a.head = "small" too
Now if I do this instead.. Person a becomes completely separate.
Person b = new Person() { head = a.head, feet = a.feet };
Now this fine and kinda makes sense when comparing this behaviour to other things in C#. BUT, this could get very annoying with large objects.
Is there a way to shortcut this at all?
Such as:
Person b = a.Values;

Can you give an example of what you're trying to accomplish with this? This isn't the sort of thing that's needed frequently. Maybe there's another way to accomplish your task. – John Saunders Mar 19 '11 at 1:17
It is called "deep copy", search for this. Your example is a very good one for why you rarely actually do this. The odds that one person would have the exact same traits as another one are quite rare. – Hans Passant Mar 19 '11 at 1:18
Note that the word "linking" is not used for what you're doing there. This is an assignment. The question header implies that the question has something to do with the linker. – steinar Mar 19 '11 at 1:22
Sorry about the terminology, I don't know how to properly define everything yet. I'm basically storing a bunch of settings in a object. Then another object takes those settings and builds itself from them. Unfortunately (for me right now), building the second object changes the first object because of this behavior. Maybe I shouldn't be storing my settings in an object, but I don't know how else to do it because of how complex it is. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 1:30
This isn't a link at all. They're the same object. You've got two references to the same object. – John Saunders Mar 19 '11 at 1:30

Is there a way to shortcut this at all?
No, not really. You'll need to make a new instance in order to avoid the original from affecting the "copy". There are a couple of options for this:
 1. If your type is a struct, not a class, it will be copied by value (instead of just copying the reference to the instance). This will give it the semantics you're describing, but has many other side effects that tend to be less than desirable, and is not recommended for any mutable type (which this obviously is, or this wouldn't be an issue!)
 2. Implement a "cloning" mechanism on your types. This can be ICloneable or even just a constructor that takes an instance and copies values from it.
 3. Use reflection, MemberwiseClone, or similar to copy all values across, so you don't have to write the code to do this. This has potential problems, especially if you have fields containing non-simple types.

Thanks, that sums it up nicely. I think I'll have to figure out a different way to store my data or make a special constructor. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 2:11

What you are looking is for a Cloning. You will need to Implement IClonable and then do the Cloning.
class Person() : ICloneable
 public string head;
 public string feet;
 _TAG_ ICloneable Members
 public object Clone()
 return this.MemberwiseClone();
Then You can simply call the Clone method to do a ShallowCopy (In this particular Case also a DeepCopy)
Person b = (Person) a.Clone();
You can use the MemberwiseClone method of the Object class to do the cloning.

Do not use IClonable: blogs.msdn.com/b/brada/archive/2003/04/09/49935.aspx – Robert Levy Mar 19 '11 at 1:26
_USER_ Levy: I know the difference arise between Shallow Copy and Deep Copy, when you have Reference type of members in the class. – Shekhar_Pro Mar 19 '11 at 1:32
add comment
a and b are just two references to the same Person object. They both essentially hold the address of the Person.
There is a ICloneable interface, though relatively few classes support it. With this, you would write:
Person b = a.Clone();
Then, b would be an entirely separate Person.
You could also implement a copy constructor:
public Person(Person src)
 //...
There is no built-in way to copy all the fields. You can do it through reflection, but there would be a performance penalty.
share|improve this answer
_USER_, 1. The difference between deep copy and shallow copy is irrelevant here, because the class only has two fields, both with immutable types. 2. I didn't recommend ICloneable. I listed it as an option. 3. That is not an official guideline, just a discussion of a plan to add it to the official guidelines (I don't know if it made it). – Matthew Flaschen Mar 19 '11 at 1:37
it did make it to the official guidelines – Robert Levy Mar 19 '11 at 2:07

This happens because "Person" is a class, so it is passed by reference. In the statement "b = a" you are just copying a reference to the one and only "Person" instance that you created with the keyword new.
The easiest way to have the behavior that you are looking for is to use a "value type".
Just change the Person declaration from
class Person
struct Person

The first volume (La Fortune des Rougon) of his principal work, Les Rougon‐Macquart, which he termed the 'natural and social history of a family under the Second Empire', appeared in 1871; in 19 more volumes (including L'Assommoir, 1877; Germinal, 1885; La Terre, 1887; La Bête humaine, 1890; La Débâcle, 1892), Zola produces an extraordinary panorama of mid‐19th‐cent. misery, poverty, and the violence of human instinct. Zola spent 11 months in exile in England (1898–9) as a result of his support of Dreyfus. His works were widely read in this country, but heavily censored, and his publisher Vizetelly was imprisoned in 1888 for publishing La Terre. He considerably influenced G. A. Moore, Bennett, and other realist writers.

text: Energy from Waste (EfW) projects require complex value chains to operate effectively. To identify business partners, plant operators need to network with organisations whose strategic objectives are aligned with their own. Supplier organisations need to work out where they fit in the value chain. Our aim is to support people in identifying potential business partners, based on their organisation's interpretation of value. Value for an organisation should reflect its strategy and may be interpreted using key priorities and KPIs (key performance indicators). KPIs may comprise any or all of knowledge, operational, economic, social and convenience indicators. This paper presents an ontology for modelling and prioritising connections within the business environment, and in the process provides means for defining value and mapping these to corresponding KPIs. The ontology is used to guide the design of a visual representation of the environment to aid partner search.

Goji berries are shriveled red berries that look like red raisins. They have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India to:
Goji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. One of zeaxanthin's key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant.
Goji berries have a mild tangy taste that is slightly sweet and sour. They strengthen the immune system and increase the white blood cells of the body. It makes the person stay healthy without producing any kind of side effects. The large supply of antioxidants present in the goji berry help in controlling the radicals in the body which help boost the immune system as well. The antioxidants also keep the body clean from any toxins which accumulate.
The main health benefits offered by the goji berries are improving the liver function of the body, strengthen the eyesight, improve the circulation of the body and increase the alkalinity of the body.
In China goji berries have become popular since they contain proteins, fats, minerals, dietary fibers and nineteen types of amino acids. The goji berries also consist of the germanium that proves beneficial at the time of cancer treatment. It also increases the stamina of the person and makes them feel more energetic.

The boundary between Baetica and Noricum region on Lutetia
This image shows a portion of the surface of the main-belt asteroid (21) Lutetia. The image was obtained with the OSIRIS camera on ESA's Rosetta spacecraft as it flew past the asteroid on 10 July 2010.
By tracing craters and other features on Lutetia's surface, scientists have put together a geological map for the asteroid. Their studies have shown that Lutetia's surface comprises regions spanning a wide range of ages: each of them reveals a chapter in the long and tumultuous history of this asteroid.
The image shows the boundary between two of the regions that have been identified on the asteroid's surface in terms of their geological history. In particular, the image shows the abrupt transition between the young and smooth Baetica region, in the upper part of the image, and the much older and heavily cratered Noricum region, in the lower part of the image.

The ship that Captain Cook commanded on his first voyage across the Pacific Ocean may be resting on the seabed off the coast of New England, US.
Marine archaeologists believe it is one of four shipwrecks found during an underwater survey of Newport Harbor.
Cook sailed in the Endeavour from 1768-71, exploring the east coast of Australia and claiming it for Britain.
The ship is thought to have ended its days in a 13-strong fleet sunk by British forces off Newport in 1778.
Four of the ships were discovered in August 2005 by Professor Rod Mather of the University of Rhode Island and graduate student Jamin Wells.
"As is the case with many 18th Century shipwrecks, the newly discovered vessels were pinned to the bottom of Newport Harbor with their own ballast stones," said Mather.
"Over time, a complex series of biological, chemical and physical processes broke down the shipwrecks, leaving ballast piles onto which artefacts including cannons fell and below which there is almost certainly well-preserved sections of the ships' lower hulls."
Experts believe the ships were sunk by the British as a French fleet sailed into the bay to act as a barrier against attack. Among them was the Lord Sandwich, which had originally been called the Endeavour.
Artefacts recovered
Two other shipwrecks have previously been discovered in Newport Harbor, bringing the total to six. Archaeologists believe they will soon discover the remains of the other seven ships.
Although several artefacts have been found on the seafloor - including a cannon, an anchor and part of a British teapot - there is nothing to establish a direct link with Cook's Endeavour.
But the researchers are confident they know enough about the ship to eventually identify her.
They plan to excavate the vessels which are lying beneath 6m (20ft) of water about 91m (300ft) from the shoreline.
The upper parts of the ships have rotted away but the keels have been preserved in silt and could contain textiles and leather.

THE NUMERICAL ANALYSIS ON EROSION AROUND SABO DAM IN TRIBUTARIES OF PROGO RIVER
MetadataShow full item record
Mt. Merapi is the active volcano in Indonesia. On 2010 erupted, the mountain produced sediment around 150 million m3. The sediment supplies to the downstream area through the tributaries. The hydraulics condition in tributaries of Progo River may change for long time period due to the sediment supply. Sabo dam is constructed in tributaries for controlling the sediment. The morphology around sabo may change due to the sediment supply. So, the erosion process near the sabo dam should be predicted to estimate the stability of the structure after the eruption. This research is to investigate the erosion around the sabo dam. Numerical simulation is performed using the horizontal two-dimensional flow model.

20 tips for photography with iphone
This article is about tips for photography with iPhone. iPhone photography is all about using your trusty smartphone to snap awesome pics. It's like having a little camera in your pocket 24/7. Whether you're capturing everyday moments or epic sunsets, your iPhone can do the job. Plus, you don't need to be a pro – just a few cool tricks and you'll be taking stunning shots in no time. So, grab your iPhone and let's dive into the world of casual, on-the-go photography!
iphone photo tips
1. Mastering Composition
- Rule of Thirds: Use the grid feature on your iPhone to apply the rule of thirds. Position the main subject along the gridlines or at their intersections to create a balanced and visually appealing composition.
- Leading Lines: Look for natural lines, such as roads, bridges, or pathways, that lead the viewer's eye into the photo. These lines add depth and guide the viewer's attention.
2. Lighting Matters
- Golden Hour: Make the most of the soft, warm lighting during the golden hour, which occurs shortly after sunrise and before sunset. The diffused light creates beautiful shadows and enhances your photos.
- Avoid Harsh Light: Direct sunlight can create strong shadows and overexposed areas. Whenever possible, shoot in shaded areas or use a diffuser to soften the light.
3. Focus and Exposure Control
- Tap to Focus: Tap on the screen to set the focus and exposure point. This allows you to control what part of the image is in focus and adjust exposure to prevent underor overexposure.
- Lock Focus and Exposure: After tapping to focus, hold your finger on the screen until the AE/AF Lock indicator appears. This ensures the focus and exposure settings stay constant, which is especially useful for consistent results in challenging lighting conditions.
4. Use Burst Mode
- Capture Action: For moving subjects or action shots, use burst mode by holding down the shutter button. This takes a rapid series of photos, increasing your chances of capturing the perfect moment.
- Select the Best Shot: After shooting in burst mode, go through the images and choose the one with the best composition and timing.
5. Proximity and Perspective
- Get Closer: Move physically closer to your subject whenever possible. This can create more impactful and detailed shots.
- Change Angles: Experiment with different angles by shooting from high above or down low. Changing your perspective can add creativity to your photos.
6. Edit and Enhance
- Use Editing Apps: Enhance your iPhone photos further with editing apps like Snapseed, Adobe Lightroom, or VSCO. You can adjust exposure, contrast, colors, and apply filters to make your photos pop.
- Avoid Overediting: While editing can improve your photos, be careful not to overdo it. Maintain a natural look and feel, as overly processed images can lose their authenticity.
7. Clean the Lens

How To Optimize Workflow Process in an Advertising Agency
How To Optimize Workflow Process in an Advertising Agency
An advertising agency is often romanticized as a "creative" business. A huge aspect of the advertising agency business is indeed about creativity. However, it's important to maintain a proper, rather rigid workflow to ensure the advertising agency can build and maintain a solid reputation for delivering consistent results that can also help their clients.
An advertising agency workflow should include actions, tasks, and decisions that enable the specific advertising campaign to be successful. Oftentimes, this workflow is invisible to the clients but is very important for the advertising agency to ensure success.
Why Is Workflow Important In Advertising Agency
The advertising agency might involve many people with different roles. Although the core of the advertising agency business is creativity, a true collaboration between the right people is required to ensure a successful creative process.
Additionally, there are other processes in the advertising agency outside the creative process like budgeting, staffing, etc. Not to mention, the review and approval process can be a complicated process on its own in an agency environment.
Each of these actions has an impact, and when there's any problem with the said action, it can lead to delays. As we know, an advertising agency is a very deadline-driven business. When there's a delay to a single action, it can significantly affect all the other processes, causing missed deadlines and disappointed clients.
Another significant benefit of implementing workflow in an advertising agency environment is successfully integrating paper-based processes with today's standard digital structures. Even in 2021, many advertising agencies are still heavily relying on pen-and-paper to drive their business processes.
In short, by visualizing and implementing workflow, we can successfully identify potential bottlenecks, eliminate these issues before they even start, and then streamline or even automate the business processes to ensure successful projects without any missed deadlines.
Creative Workflow Management In Advertising Agencies
Creative Workflow Management, or CWM, has the objective of applying and maintaining a structure to the creative process to allow the creative process to reach its maximum potential. Creative workflow management essentially defines key responsibilities in a creative process, sets up roles, tracks progress, and helps all the team members manage their time, enabling them to meet deadlines.
When implemented correctly, creative workflow management provides space for the team's creative members to be creative, developing, and executing their ideas. On the other hand, it will keep all these creative works streamlined with other departments and overall organization to ensure the project's success.
Another critical advantage of creative workflow management is improved communication. Each business unit can collaborate and communicate seamlessly so they each can complete their tasks on time.
How To Implement Creative Workflow Management
Although creative workflow management might sound complicated at first, they consist of relatively simple steps. Below, we will discuss the five core steps of managing your advertising agency workflow from start to finish.
Remember that the main objective of implementing this creative workflow management is to meet the client's demands while ensuring you are within budget and deadlines.
With that being said, the exact steps of creating your advertising agency's workflow may vary depending on the project itself, the size of your agency, and the available resources. However, all processes in an advertising agency will involve these five core steps:
Step 1: Defining The Project
Before anything else, we should adequately define the project to translate it into a proper workflow.
In an advertising agency environment, this step typically begins with a discussion/meeting with the client to gather the project's required information, especially regarding the client's demands and expectations.
In this step, we properly define the project's scope according to the client's expectation and present it to the team, creating a creative brief. This step should involve an open discussion about the client's demands and how your team will approach this project to produce the desired output.
So, the central aspect of this step is brainstorming, so the whole team and stakeholders can agree on moving forward with the project.
Step 2: Defining Roles
The next step is about defining roles and responsibilities for each team member. This is very important to avoid confusion between team members about what tasks they should execute and when.
Properly assigning roles to the right people can help all team members focus only on the tasks they need to finish to contribute to the project's success. On the other hand, with a proper workflow, everyone is now aware of who is responsible for a specific task, improving transparency and accountability in the whole project.
This is especially important if your project involves sequential tasks (a task must be finished before another can start). The team members assigned to these sequential tasks can then collaborate together.
Step 3: Scheduling
The next step is to create a schedule for the project, detailing deadlines for each task.
With this schedule, all team members can understand how they should manage their work and time to meet the deadlines.
Having a proper schedule alone can significantly improve efficiency, especially in creative work, where an adequate structure can considerably improve the job's chaotic nature. By helping your team members remember deadlines, they can focus on the job at hand without compromising work quality.
Step 4: Execution
This step is pretty self-explanatory: with the foundations of the project set in place, we can execute the creative production.
This process is the most important, but it can only be successful when the previous steps have also been executed properly. It provides a structure to follow so that information is readily available for everyone involved in the project. This allows team members, especially creative staff, more space to focus on their tasks.
Step 5: Evaluation and Completion
When the project deliverables have been finished and put together, the project is now ready for the final presentation. In this step, we should make all the required changes and fine-tuning. Once the project has been approved, we can also deal with other administrative aspects, like billing and final approval.
Implementing workflow management in a creative project can result in a more efficient project turnaround, reduced compliance risks, and ultimately, happier clients.
It's important to understand that a proper workflow will enable creativity rather than limit it. Still, at the same time, we'd have to create a flexible workflow structure to avoid rigidity. We can use visual-based workflow management and automation software like Aproove to properly visualize our advertising agency's workflow.
Proper workflow management can bring transparency and accountability to your creative project, so everyone involved in the project can understand their responsibilities, leading to a higher quality of deliverables.

The 'link and'static-link formats are the same as 'dir in terms of parsing, but they are treated differently for tasks such as package installation.
source : string? type : (or/c package-source-format? _TAG_) = _TAG_
(package-source->name+type source [ type #:complain complain-proc #:must-infer-name? must-infer-name?] #:link-dirs? link-dir?)

The complain-proc function is applied when source is ill-formed. The arguments to complain-proc are source and an error message.
If must-infer-name? is true, then complain-proc is called if a valid name cannot be inferred from source.
If link-dirs? is true, then a directory path is reported as type 'link instead of 'dir.
The package-source->path function is different from string->path in the case that source starts with file://. Also, if type is 'dir, 'link, or'static-link, then path->directory-path is used to ensure that the result path refers to a directory.

Once-extensive Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs in the Hudson-Raritan Estuary (HRE) were destroyed almost a century ago as a result of human activities. However, because of improvements in water quality, the potential exists to reintroduce this ecologically extinct species to the ecosystem. For over a decade, New York/New Jersey Baykeeper has conducted oyster restoration activities in support of target ecological goals proposed in the HRE Comprehensive Restoration Plan (CRP). The critical research question is whether existing conditions at a proposed restoration site can actually support long-term Eastern Oyster survival. To determine the feasibility of restoring this native species in Keyport Harbor, New Jersey, juvenile oysters were placed in research field plots, and survivorship and growth were monitored. Data from the first reported oyster restoration research in the New Jersey (NJ) portion of the HRE indicate that oysters could indeed be reintroduced into the ecosystem. After 11 months in situ, research oyster survival rates as high as 60% were observed. Qualitative tissue observations indicated female oysters produced eggs that appeared normal and were ready for spawning. Biodiversity of species collected from the field plots was twoto threefold greater with adult research oysters present, suggesting that oysters increased the density and abundance of other marine species. Sediment deposition patterns indicated that the presence of oysters in support structures may reduce the degree of topographic relief caused by winter storm energies. The research ended abruptly on August 9, 2010, when New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection rescinded the project permit because of concerns that research oysters were beginning to reach New Jersey's market size of 2.5 inches. Although initial data suggest that oysters can survive and reproduce in Raritan Bay and the potential exists to achieve oyster restoration goals included in the CRP, the project also highlights the current lack of agreement between shellfishery regulators and restoration practitioners with respect to oyster reintroduction in waters where shellfish harvesting is currently prohibited. Different shellfish management approaches are used in New England states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut), where local control is an important management tool, and in Chesapeake Bay states (Maryland and Virginia), where federal involvement is relatively high. Situated between these two distinct shellfish-producing regions, New Jersey and New York have not supported aggressive reestablishment of historic Eastern Oyster populations in the HRE, and unlike adjacent states, have not developed long-term oyster aquaculture plans. The reluctance to support oyster restoration is due to concerns related to human health and ecological questions. Examples of best management practices currently employed in neighboring states offer potential solutions to address regulatory concerns and could form the basis for developing a productive long-term strategy to reestablish Eastern Oysters in the HRE.
