Can I dynamically change the contents of the System Filesystem at runtime?
Yes. This technique is commonly used in platform applications which require the user to log in, to keep menu contents/toolbar actions/keyboard shortcuts/window definitions hidden until the user is authenticated.
There are two ways to do it. The most obvious way is to programmatically write files to disk at runtime (call FileUtil.getConfigRoot().createFolder(), etc.). This technique is appropriate if you are creating files which should be preserved across restarts (for example, adding folders to the Favorites window). It is completely inappropriate in the case of authentication, or any other case where you do not want the added files to be present after restart. You cannot depend on the application always being shut down normally and having a chance to clean such files up - since they are actually written to disk.
Using Dynamically Added Layers
The alternative is quite simple: Write a subclass of MultiFileSystem. Put it in the default lookup.
At runtime, when you want to add contents to the system filesystem, simply add additional filesystems to your MultiFileSystem. To remove the contents, simply remove those filesystems.
A convenient way to do this is to use XMLFileSystem - this is a filesystem created with exactly the same syntax as normal module XML layer files (see DevFaqModulesLayerFile). The following code loads an XML filesystem, which is in an XML file in the same package as the class, called dynamicContent.xml:
public class DynamicLayerContent extends MultiFileSystem {
 private static DynamicLayerContent INSTANCE;
 public DynamicLayerContent() {
 // will be created on startup, exactly once
 INSTANCE = this;
 setPropagateMasks(true); // permit *_hidden masks to be used
 static boolean hasContent() {
 return INSTANCE.getDelegates().length > 0;
 static void enable() {
 if (!hasContent()) {
 try {
 INSTANCE.setDelegates(new XMLFileSystem(
 } catch (SAXException ex) {
 static void disable() {
In NetBeans 7.2 and later, the above code can be simplified by using Repository.LayerProvider. See its Javadoc for a usage example.
If finer grained control of what is added is needed at runtime, there are two possibilities, using this general approach:
 - If the new layer contents are fixed and known, but perhaps correspond to user roles which may be overlaid together, split up the functionality for each role into a separate XML file (hint: define an enum of roles, where each role can point to an XML file URL, use EnumSet.of() and process that to decide what to enable)
 - Write contents programmatically, but write folders/files to an in-memory filesystem created using FileUtil.createMemoryFileSystem() so the contents disappear on VM exit
_URL_ tries to automate this kind of task.

Selected works by Fitz Henry Lane
Fitz Henry Lane
1804 - 1865
Fitz Henry Lane, also known as Fitz Hugh Lane, was a Cape Ann artist, printmaker and world-renowned American marine painter. With his subtle use of gleaming light, Lane is generally regarded as one of the finest 19th century practitioners of a style known as Luminism.
The Cape Ann Museum's unparalleled collection of Fitz Henry Lane includes 40 paintings, a rare watercolor (his first known work, painted in 1830) and 100 drawings, plus lithographic town views (all three that he did of Gloucester). The archives also include an extensive collection of Lane's letters.

adjective, un·ru·li·er, un·ru·li·est.
not submissive or conforming to rule; ungovernable; turbulent; intractable; refractory; lawless: an unruly class; an unruly wilderness.
Origin: 1350–1400; Middle English unruely, Related forms
equivalent to unun-1
+ ruly, ruely
governable, controllable; see rule
disobedient, unmanageable, uncontrollable, stubborn, disorderly, riotous. Unruly, intractable, recalcitrant, refractory describe persons or things that resist management or control. Unruly suggests persistently disorderly behavior or character in persons or things: an unruly child, peevish and willful; wild, unruly hair. Intractable suggests in persons a determined resistance to all attempts to guide or direct them, in things a refusal to respond to attempts to shape, improve, or modify them: an intractable social rebel; a seemingly intractable problem in logistics. recalcitrant and refractory imply not only a lack of submissiveness but also an open, often violent, rebellion against authority or direction. Recalcitrant the stronger of the two terms, suggests a stubborn and absolute noncompliance: a recalcitrant person, openly contemptuous of all authority. Refractory implies active, mulish disobedience, but leaves open the possibility of eventual compliance: refractory students, resisting efforts to interest them in their studies.

About Cell Statuses
Some methods return cell statuses. Cell statuses are numeric codes that are represented by constants in the HFMConstants type library and that provide the following types of status information for a cell:
The applicable methods return all three types of statuses within one return value. The return value is a bit-field containing 32 bits, in which the least significant 8 bits store the cell's transaction status codes, the most significant 10 bits store the cell's calculation status codes, and the middle bits store the cell's metadata status codes.
To access a cell's status codes in VBScript, perform bitwise comparisons with operators such as AND. For example, the calculation status indicating that a cell contains no data is represented by the constant CELLSTATUS_NODATAINTABLE. The following If statement tests whether a cell status includes the "no data" calculation status. In this example, assume that the cell status has been assigned to the lStat variable:

Partial Exemption methods: the special method document
Form of a method
A special method details how a business is to determine its recoverable input tax and it will be in the form of a written document. It is a series of steps, which taken together, and in the prescribed order, produce a value for the amount of input tax which a business may deduct.
However, in Barclays Bank PLC [VTD 5616] the Tribunal quoted an Inland Revenue case: Cape Brandy Syndicate v Inland Revenue where the judge said:
"…in a taxing Act one has to look merely at what is clearly said. Nothing is to be read in nothing is to be implied. One can only look fairly at the language used…"
Both businesses and HMRC therefore have the right to rely upon the wording in the method document. However, after a method is approved, if it transpires that a business has deliberately withheld relevant information, then they may not be able to rely on that method, since it was approved on the basis of the agreed facts at the time of approval.
For any methods approved from 01 April 2007, which will require a declaration (see PE43000 - The Declaration), HMRC will be able to serve a SMON if it can be shown that a business has deliberately withheld information.
In order for there to be a final proposal (which HMRC then approves), there must first be agreement between the parties on the detail of that proposal, and this often involves changes on both sides. It is important to emphasise that the wording of the method must reflect what has actually been proposed by the business and approved.
In many cases, if there is any ambiguity in the wording of a special method approval letter, it will be decided in favour of the business, rather than HMRC. This is because the Department is expected by the courts to have the expertise to ensure that the wording of a special method approval letter is correct.
Special method letter requirements
All letters will be different since all circumstances will be different. However there are some areas that should always be included. These are:
- the business's name and VAT number;
- requirement that any changes in business (or VAT group membership) should be notified in writing;
- the business's tax year;
- the provision for direct attribution;
- the method of allocation to sectors (if applicable), including a provision for direct allocation of residual input tax where it is only used by one sector;
- the method of apportionment of residual input tax;
- how many decimal places calculations should be rounded to;
- provisions to exclude any distorting factors, other than those already set out in Regulation 101(3); and
- the requirement to carry out an annual adjustment.
Avoid including anything in a letter that is unnecessary because it is covered in the Regulations. For example, do not include the de minimis rules in the letter. If you do, the law may change but not affect your business, since he has to abide by those set out in his special method letter.
Any special method must include provision for the direct attribution of input tax. Any input tax on goods or services that wholly relates to taxable supplies is reclaimable in full, and any that wholly relates to exempt supplies is not reclaimable. This direct attribution must form a part of any special method. Any input tax that is incorrectly treated as residual when it could be directly attributed may produce an unfair result.
Calculation of the recoverable amount
UK and EC law requires a business to determine the amount of input tax that is recoverable; and not to assume that all is recoverable except for any input tax they can identify that is irrecoverable.
If a business's method of apportionment is a transaction count and it makes 100 transactions in a period, 70 of which are taxable, 30 that are exempt, the calculation must produce a result of 70% recoverable, not a result of 30% irrecoverable. Accordingly, the numerator (top part of the fraction) should always be in respect of taxable supplies.
As well as being incorrect in law, treating everything as recoverable and identifying input tax to disallow is likely to lead to over recovery. Although the reverse is also true, the business is in a much better position than HMRC to react if the method is not producing a fair and reasonable result.
Special methods should not allow rounding up to the next whole number in the recovery percentage. Until the 2005 Budget, HMRC allowed special methods based on output values and using a single calculation to be rounded-up to the next whole number. However, for all new special methods approved or directed on or after 1 April 2005 we will only allow rounding to two or more decimal places. This policy will also apply to existing special methods as and when they are reviewed or updated.
Incidental and distortive supplies
When considering the acceptability, or otherwise, of a special method, you will need to be alert for elements that could distort the apportionment calculation. This distortion may be in favour of either HMRC or the business, but either way it will prevent a fair and reasonable apportionment of non-attributable input tax. The most common distortive supplies are those that are excluded from the standard method under Regulation 101(3). These include capital goods used in the business, some incidental supplies relating to land and finance and self-supplies. Such supplies are also excluded from special methods by virtue of Regulation 102(2). Further detail on what is meant by 'incidental' is included in PE32000.
A business may make supplies that are distortive, in that including them causes an otherwise appropriate method not to reflect use, but this does not automatically mean that they are incidental. They may be a fundamental part of the business's activities and/or use significant amounts of residual input tax bearing costs. Excluding them completely might therefore cause a method not to reflect use.
Methods that are not based on output values may also be affected by distortions. A transaction based method for a financial advisor receiving exempt commissions and giving taxable advice will almost certainly be distorted by the inclusion of the sales to staff from the sweet trolley! Whatever the basis of the apportionment calculation, elements that could distort it should be excluded and the approval letter should specifically address this.
Distortive elements should normally be excluded from a special method. However, where distortive supplies also use significant amounts of residual input tax it may be necessary to find an alternative method of dealing with them. For example, an output values based method might specify that any supply exceeding £10,000 should be treated as though it were £10,000 or that some supplies are treated as though they were a percentage of their actual value.

Destination: Santiniketan
Destination Type: Cities
City: Santiniketan / Bolpur
Country: India
Shantiniketan is a small town near Bolpur in the Birbhum district of West Bengal and about 212 kms north of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).
It was made famous by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, whose vision became what is now a university town – Visva-Bharati University. The place now attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Shantiniketan was earlier called Bhnbandanga (named after Bhuban Dakat, a local dacoit), and was owned by the Tagore family. In 1862, Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, the poet's father, while on a boat journey to Raipur, came across a landscape with red soil and lush green paddy fields. He decided to plant more saplings and built a small house. He called his home Shantiniketan, the abode of peace. He founded an Ashram here in 1863 and became the initiator of the Brahmo Samaj.
The Shantiniketan campus is adorned by splendid sculptures, frescoes, murals, and paintings of Rabindranath, Nandalal Bose, Ramkinkar, Binodbehari Mukhopadhyay, and others.
Birbhum District, where the Shantiniketan is located, is also famous for its fairs and festivals like Poush Mela (December), Joydev Mela (January), Basanta Utsav (Holi) in March and the famous mystic Baul Singers.

he Uttarayana complex where the poet lived consists of several buildings such as Udayana, Konark, Shyamali, Punascha, and Udichi, which reflect the architectural genius of the poet's illustrious son – the late Rathindranath Tagore.
In addition, there are Kala Bhavan, Sangeet Bhavan, Patha Bhavan, Bichitra, Cheena Bhavan, and Hindi Bhavan. You can also see Chhatimtala and the Prayer Hall.
Close to Shantiniketan there are several tourist destinations such as Fullora (40 kms), Nalhati (104 kms), Sainthia, Kankalitala (7 kms), Bakreshwar (58 kms), Massanjore (78 kms), and Tarapith (80 kms). The first five are Shaktipithas where the different body-parts of Goddess Sati is said to have fallen.

Which trees in NZ are most (and least) flammable?
One of the most flammable is a famous native tree species, and it's not manuka.
Research has shown some of the most flammable plants found in the NZ countryside are gorse, eucalypts, and surprisingly to the scientists, rimu and silver beech.
That two widespread native trees were similar to highly flammable overseas species was news to those taking part in the joint Lincoln University and University of Auckland study.
Their work is the first experimental measurement of the flammability of a large number of plants found in NZ, and data gathered will be used to identify fire-prone ecosystems and the best plants to use as 'green' firebreaks to reduce the spread of destructive wildfires, likely to be more common as a result of climate change.
Existing lists of suitable non-flammable species in New Zealand are mostly based on expert opinion, says Auckland University Professor George Perry.
"Our results provide the first experimental evidence to support current guidelines on New Zealand plant flammability. This provides recommendations for councils and fire managers on which native New Zealand species to plant in green firebreaks to reduce fire spread."
The team – which included All Black Sam Whitelock, who was finishing his Bachelor of Science – placed shoots on a special 'plant barbeque' made out of a 44 gallon drum cut in half with a grill on top. They lit samples with a blowtorch and recorded how quickly they ignited, how hot they got, how long they burned for, and how much of the sample burned.
Future experiments will include a wider range of plants, and ultimately be conducted on plant communities in the field.
The scientists will also look at 'mixed grill' situations where a highly flammable species like gorse is interspersed with a low flammability tree such as Coprosma robusta (karamu) to see how fast or slow the combination burns.

Alternative rock (also called alternative music, alt rock or simply alternative) is a genre of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular by the 1990s and 2000s. Although the term was most commonly associated in its commercial heyday with a loud, distorted guitar sound, its original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style, or simply the independent, D.I.Y. ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music.[1] At times, "alternative" has been used as a catch-all description for music from underground rock artists that receives mainstream recognition, or for any music, whether rock or not, that is seen to be descended from punk rock (including some examples of punk itself, as well as New Wave, and post-punk).
Alternative rock is a broad umbrella term consisting of music that differs greatly in terms of its sound, its social context, and its regional roots. By the end of the 1980s magazines and zines, college radio airplay and word of mouth had increased the prominence and highlighted the diversity of alternative rock, helping to define a number of distinct scenes such as gothic rock, jangle pop, noise pop, C86, Madchester, industrial music, and shoegazing. Most of these subgenres had achieved minor mainstream notice and a few bands representing them, such as Hüsker Dü and R.E.M., had even signed to major labels. But most alternative bands' commercial success was limited in comparison to other genres of rock and pop music at the time, and most acts remained signed to independent labels and received relatively little attention from mainstream radio, television or newspapers. With the breakthrough of Nirvana and the popularity of the grunge and Britpop movements in the 1990s, alternative rock entered the musical mainstream and many alternative bands became commercially successful.
 The term alternative rock
Before the term alternative rock came into common usage around 1990, the sort of music to which it refers was known by a variety of terms.[2] In 1979, Terry Tolkin used the term Alternative Music to describe the groups he was writing about.[3] College rock was used in the United States to describe the music during the 1980s due to its links to the college radio circuit and the tastes of college students. In the United Kingdom, dozens of small do it yourself record labels emerged as a result of the punk subculture. According to the founder of one of these labels, Cherry Red, NME and Sounds magazines published charts based on small record stores called "Alternative Charts". The first national chart based on distribution called the Indie Chart was published in January 1980; it immediately succeeded in its aim to help these labels. At the time, the term indie was used literally to describe independently distributed records.[4] By 1985, it had come to mean a particular genre, or group of subgenres, rather than simply distribution status.[5]. The use of the term alternative to describe rock music originated around the mid-1980s;[6] at the time, the common music industry terms for cutting-edge music were new music and post modern, respectively indicating freshness and a tendency to recontextualize sounds of the past.[1][7] Individuals who worked as DJs and promoters during the 1980s claim the term originates from American FM radio of the 1970s, which served as a progressive alternative to top 40 radio formats by featuring longer songs and giving DJs more freedom in song selection. According to one former DJ and promoter, "Somehow this term 'alternative' got rediscovered and heisted by college radio people during the 80s who applied it to new post-punk, indie, or underground-whatever music".[8] At first the term referred to intentionally non–mainstream rock acts that were not influenced by "heavy metal ballads, rarefied new wave" and "high-energy dance anthems".[9] Usage of the term would broaden to include New Wave, pop, punk rock, post-punk, and occasionally "college"/"indie" rock, all found on the American "commercial alternative" radio stations of the time such as Los Angeles' KROQ-FM. The use of alternative gained further exposure due to the success of Lollapalooza, for which festival founder and Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell coined the term Alternative Nation. In the late 1990s, the definition again became more specific.[1] In 1997, Neil Strauss of The New York Times defined alternative rock as "hard-edged rock distinguished by brittle, '70s-inspired guitar riffing and singers agonizing over their problems until they take on epic proportions".[9]
Defining music as alternative is often difficult because of two conflicting applications of the word. Alternative can describe music that challenges the status quo and that is "fiercely iconoclastic, anticommercial, and antimainstream", but the term is also used in the music industry to denote "the choices available to consumers via record stores, radio, cable television, and the Internet."[10] Using a broad definition of the genre, Dave Thompson in his book Alternative Rock cites the formation of the Sex Pistols as well as the release of the albums Horses by Patti Smith and Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed as three key events that gave birth to alternative rock.[11] Until recent years when Indie Rock became the most common term in the US to describe modern pop and rock,[12] the terms "indie rock" and "alternative rock" were often used interchangeably; whilst there are aspects which both genres have in common, indie rock was regarded as a British-based term, unlike the more American alternative rock.[13]
 Alternative rock in the 1980s
—Mark Josephson, Executive Director of the New Music Seminar speaking in 1988 [19]
 The American underground in the 1980s
By the late 1980s, the American alternative scene was dominated by styles ranging from quirky alternative pop (They Might Be Giants and Camper Van Beethoven), to noise rock (Sonic Youth, Big Black, The Jesus Lizard[27]) and industrial rock (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails). These sounds were in turn followed by the advent of Boston's the Pixies and Los Angeles' Jane's Addiction.[14] Around the same time, the grunge subgenre emerged in Seattle, Washington. Grunge was based around a sludgy, murky guitar sound that synthesized heavy metal and punk rock.[28] Largely based around the Seattle indie label Sub Pop, grunge bands were noted for their thrift store fashion which favored flannel shirts and combat boots suited to the local weather.[29] Early grunge bands Soundgarden and Mudhoney found critical acclaim in the U.S. and UK, respectively.[14]
By the end of the decade, a number of alternative bands began to sign to major labels. While early major label signings Hüsker Dü and The Replacements had little success, acts who signed with majors in their wake such as R.E.M. and Jane's Addiction achieved gold and platinum records, setting the stage for alternative's later breakthrough.[30][31] Some bands such as the Pixies had massive success overseas while they were ignored domestically.[14]
 British genres and trends of the 1980s
Gothic rock developed out of late-1970s British post-punk. With a reputation as the "darkest and gloomiest form of underground rock", gothic rock utilizes a synthesizer-and-guitar based sound drawn from post-punk to construct "foreboding, sorrowful, often epic soundscapes", and the genre's lyrics often address literary romanticism, morbidity, religious symbolism, and supernatural mysticism.[33] This genre among bands that took inspiration from late-1970s British post-punk groups, Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees.[34] Bauhaus' debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead", released in 1979, is considered to be the proper beginning of the gothic rock genre.[35] The Cure's "oppressively dispirited" albums Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981), and Pornography (1982) cemented that group's stature in that style and laid the foundation its large cult following.[36]
Other forms of alternative rock developed in the UK during the 1980s. The Jesus and Mary Chain's sound combined the Velvet Underground's "melancholy noise" with Beach Boys pop

email.headers.ARC-Seal A DKIM-like signature that includes the ARC Signature and the ARC Authentication Results header information.
email.headers.Accept-Language The preferred languages set in the email client (for example, en-CA, fr-CA, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Language The language the content is in (for example, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Type The media type of the message content (for example, multipart/alternative).
email.headers.DKIM-Signature DKIM signature containing information about the sender, the message, and the public key location required for verification.
email.headers.Date Date and time the message was written (for example, Tue, 16 Jun 2020 18:02:58 +0000).
email.headers.From The email address the message is from (for example, First Last ).
email.headers.MIME-Version The MIME version of the email (for example, 1.0).
email.headers.Message-ID A unique identified assigned to the message by the email client (for example, _EMAIL_).
email.headers.Received A list of servers the email traveled through.
email.headers.Subject The email subject (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.Thread-Index A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, AQHWRAhe9PTa3R106EKT1QS6lt9jOw==).
email.headers.Thread-Topic A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.To The address the email is sent to (for example, "_EMAIL_" ).
email.headers.X- Header parameters added by email clients for their systems and processes, such as spam detection.
email.headers.authentication-results What the email client authenticated when the message was sent.
email.recipients The xMatters target names of any recipients (for example, mmcbride)
So, how do you access these items?
You need to create a custom step, and add a small amount of code. Here are the quick steps:
 1. First, define an input to bring in the email headers. In this example, we'll call the input 'email_headers'.
 2. Next, create an output. Let's say we want to have an output with the 'from' information.
 3. Use the script to map the information into outputs.
When mapping the header information to the output, use the input name plus the header parameter. For example, to map the email.headers.From parameter to an email_from output:
output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
This pulls the information in the From parameter contained in the email_headers input. When you use the step in a flow, you'd populate the email_headers input with the email.headers output from the Email trigger.
You can also create a variable and use it when mapping parameters. For example:
var headers = input['email_headers']; output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
You can use bracket or dot notation for single-word parameters:
['email_headers']['From'] can be entered as ['email_headers'].From
For full instructions on creating a custom step and defining inputs and outputs, see the online help.

CoreLogic examines what is driving the rise in occupancy fraud in its 2023 Annual Mortgage Fraud Report
Mortgage fraud occurs when a borrower intentionally misrepresents information on a loan application. From false information regarding borrower income, employment, assets, and debt to fraudulently stating the intended occupancy of the property, loan officers and financial institutions have a lot to consider when proactively identifying fraud.
According to the CoreLogic® 2023 Annual Mortgage Fraud Report, an estimated 1 out of every 134 mortgage applications had indications of fraud in Q2 2023.
Among the various types of mortgage fraud, occupancy fraud is becoming increasingly prevalent. The most common type of occupancy fraud occurs when a borrower states on a loan application that they intend to live in a property but instead they use the property as an investment.
One motivation spurring this type of fraud is an attempt to obtain better loan terms than would normally be available for an investment home. Generally, programs, pricing, and underwriting guidelines are more favorable on owner-occupied properties.
Occupancy fraud rose 11.8% from Q2'22 to Q2'23
Mortgage lenders struggle with occupancy fraud because it's easier to spot after it already happens. However, proactively detecting this type of fraud is especially consequential at a time of increasing repurchase risk. Loan buyback rates have increased annually since 2020. Repurchase rates in the first quarter of 2023 are up 759% compared with the same period of 2020.
According to a study published in early 2023 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, investment volumes varied between 2005 and 2017, but fraudulent investors (i.e., those committing occupancy fraud) consistently made up roughly one-third of the total pool of investors.
The share of investor purchases has surged since 2021. Today's investors are becoming more likely to operate on a smaller scale, only owning three to nine properties. As a result, it's not surprising that reports of occupancy fraud rates have increased since the pandemic.
The pandemic caused low occupancy fraud in 2020, but recent evidence suggests that the rate has since increased. The CoreLogic 2023 Annual Mortgage Fraud Report found that occupancy fraud in Q2 2023 is up 11.8% from a year prior. Similarly, the Fannie Mae Financial Crimes team's Aug. 11, 2023 update reported that among all loans with mortgage fraud investigative findings, the percentage of loans with occupancy fraud increased from 10% in 2020 and 2021 to 19% in 2022.
CoreLogic's Science and Analytics team recently analyzed trends in suspected occupancy fraud. The researchers compared where borrowers stated they lived on mortgage loan applications to public records after the loan was approved. If there were differences, it could mean the borrowers lied about living in the property they bought. For example, researchers flagged loans where a borrower claimed during mortgage loan origination that a property would be their primary residence, but post-closing public records identified the property as an investment owned by the initial borrower.
The percentage of suspect occupancy loans in the analyzed population has nearly tripled since 2020. Rates of potential misrepresentation among purchase loans are higher than refinances, but both have shown an increase.
Loans involving multi-unit properties were the most likely to involve potential occupancy fraud, followed by jumbo and FHA loans. Lower risk was associated with VA loans.
Lower interest rates may be a motivation to commit occupancy fraud. The average application interest rate on loans suspected of occupancy fraud is consistently lower than the average rate for legitimate investment loans, which decreases overall mortgage payments.
Occupancy fraud is a challenging issue that appears to be growing in the current market. However, time will tell if instances of this type of fraud will stay high once interest rates start to decrease.
It is easier to identify fraud after the fact than it is to prevent it. This can leave lenders at risk of repurchase. Rather than being left in the dark, lenders should understand fraud trends. Keep up with CoreLogic's quarterly mortgage fraud reports and review existing processes using tools like CoreLogic's LoanSafe to help mitigate increasing risk.


Lincoln Heights: What Happened to the Black Wall Street of Cincinnati?
By Jordann Sadler '18, Perspectives Section Editor
The Village of Lincoln Heights, which for most of its history has been majority black and today is still 95% African-American, went from being the "first African American self-governing community north of the Mason-Dixon line" to becoming a deprecating 'hood'. Lincoln Heights was founded in the 1920s as a suburb for Black homeowners. In 1946, it was incorporated as a village. Before the 1970s, Lincoln Height's population was around 6,000. The town's population rapidly decreased. For the past seven years, Lincoln Height's population has been relatively constant at 3,000 people, only fluctuating slightly. So, what happened to this once self-sustainable village? Red-lining. Not only is the African-American community suffering, but the poor, white community of Lockland also under the same pressure.
Just south of Lincoln Heights is the Village of Lockland. The village is 64% White and 29% African-American. During their prime and prosperous times, Lockland and Lincoln Heights were in competition with each other. Lockland, plotted in 1828 by Nicholas Longworth and Lewis Howell, thrived as it was located on the Miami-Erie Canal. The Canal was replaced during the I-75 highway construction in 1940. As a result, both Lockland and Lincoln Heights went into a state of disarray. Go on Mangham Dr. and you can see GE's Christmas lights from Taco Bell and Wendy's.
West of Lockland is Wyoming: a considerably nicer, more-organized town. Going down Wyoming Ave and passing the Wyoming Fine Arts center are a set of train tracks separating Lockland from Wyoming. The first thing you see when you cross the train tracks from Wyoming is an abandoned gas station to your right and a small fountain to your left. Farther along the road, there are abandoned buildings (which still have signs of a deserted businesses), a weave and hair shop, a bar, and a small African market/convenient store similar to a 7/11.
Cross the train tracks leaving Lockland you see a sign reading 'Wyoming', small cafés, a florist, and other community businesses. As I said before, the Wyoming Fine Arts center is also near these tracks.
Wyoming has a non-white population of 12.7%. Taken from the Wyoming, Ohio website, the Median Home Value in Wyoming is about $280,000 with the median family income being $108,000. Meanwhile, the Median Household income in Lincoln Heights is around $25,500. The relatively expensive costs of Wyoming housing make it impossible for families in both Lockland and Lincoln Heights to afford nicer living spaces. Why are its neighbors struggling? And why aren't there measures to help the neighboring places? The red-lining is not only in housing, culture, and location, but in education too.
According to the 2000 Census, 96.6% of the Wyoming population are high school graduates or higher, 68% have a bachelor degree or higher. Also, according to the 2000 Census, 82.9% of the Lincoln Heights population are high school graduates or higher. Many did not go farther than an associate's degree, as only 5.6% have a bachelor degree or higher. Lincoln Heights does not have its own high school—Princeton is the next middle school and high school. Evendale, Glendale, Heritage Hill, Sharonville, Springdale, Stewart, Woodlawn, Lincoln Heights—these places/villages have neither a middle nor a high school. All the students go to Princeton. Wyoming has an elementary school, a middle school and, of course, a high school. Lockland, having a better opportunity, also has PreK-12 schools, but they are not up to par with the nationally ranked Wyoming schools.
Want to go to Wyoming High School, ranked #2 public school in Ohio behind Walnut Hills and ahead of Indian Hill High School? Want to go a ranked #95 high school in the nation? "To be eligible for enrollment, you must reside within the school district boundaries and demonstrate proof of residence as outlined in the online registration process." Almost all public high schools today require proof of residency. Only a small handful of public high schools in Ohio have Open Enrollment. All this does is restrict students from reaching their full potential. A student who is accelerating in Lockland High School who wants to go to a better, more rigorous school such as Wyoming must either move (which is nearly impossible, due to the vast difference in home costs) or suffer through a school that does not cater to their needs. The cycle of neglect results in a population of students who mature into this world with a lack of education, leadership, encouragement, determination, progress and academic knowledge. Students in these situations must work ten times as hard to achieve their dreams. This destitution can lead to them making bad choices: drugs, dropping out, criminal activity. Stereotypes and racial profiling are created this way. It is the biggest burden to put on the African-American youth (and students of color in general), who already have a foot in the grave for having a different skin color. Now a whole generation, a whole culture must catch up before trying to further develop itself. The sadder underlying theme of this whole situation, is that these poor communities did have the ambition, the knowledge, and the leadership until taken away by higher forces.
Our black wall street was taken away from us. Disregarding whether one supports a black-owned community or not, it is still sickening to see the deprived state of Lincoln Heights today compared to what it used to be. Although, Lincoln Heights wasn't burned to the ground like Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, red-lining and racial separation certainly devastated what was once a prosperous community.

Scope of the subject & their interaction with our life
Scope of the subject basically refers to the area where it can be applied and scope of different subjects varies from each other in this regard.
The area in which the subject is applicable is called range area of the subject. It also depends upon the nature of the subject. Like Mathematics has the widest range of its application. It can be applied in any field of life and give high output. So the range and scope of the subject depends upon its nature.
In general all the subjects have high interaction with our lives but few of them are more interactive and have high influence in our life. We can say that they have become part of our lives or parts of them are parts of our lives. For understanding interaction with these subjects, man is required to study the life and tali it with these subjects.
Scope of different subject is as under.
- Mathematics: The subject mathematics especially basic mathematics has become part of our life. In general when we talk with somebody, some 70 % of mathematics become part of that discussion. Like when we deal with shopkeeper so talk in dozens and numbers. We ask how much banana's dozen costs. The shopkeeper answers us in terms of money like its cost is Rs.50/- per dozen. Then if we want to buy half of a dozen the shopkeeper divides it on two and say you have to pay Rs.25/- for this. And it is the case in division of land. Whenever two persons want to divide the land by two they normally use algebra there. More over the subject of mathematics is a wide range subject and its areas of applications are PAEC, NDC, NSO & other different areas. In short we can say that it is applicable in each field of operation.
- Sociology: Sociology has a wide range of application in human societies. It has different role in different human societies. Man follows it rules and principles in their life in general. Different sociologists try to implement its principles and roles in different human society in which he know that these can be implemented. It studies culture, norms, values, expectation, and institution e.t.c. It defines and evaluates cultures of different nations living in different areas of the world and something new to it.
- Physics: Physics is a science subject like mathematics and have influence in our life. Due to the inventions of this subject much more things are introduced which have highly facilitated our lives. More than this in general the kilogram term is used very much in general in life. When some one go to purchase something, he asks the shopkeeper how much its kilogram costs and he answers.
- Medical: Medical is also one of the important subject which has a total interaction with our life. It also has a wide range of research to provide different solutions for different problems occurring in our lives. Whenever a person becomes ill he contacts a medical doctor or dispenser for diagnosis. When the doctor or dispenser diagnoses him then the pharmacists prescribe some medicines for his treatment. The pharmacists conduct continuos research to produce more good medicines for different diseases. The doctors also refer different methods to people to protect themselves from different diseases.
- Computer Science: Computer Science also has high interaction with our life. It has also facilitated the life of human upto a great extent. In primitive ages communication was really tough and costly but due to computer sciences (Information Technology) it has become very cheap and easy. A man in USA can contact easily with a person in Pakistan and will cost a few rupees because the area is high specialized and a very cheap technology has been introduced.
In short all the subjects have high interaction with our life and have a wide scope.

Smart Bandage - A Hydrogel Supported Optical Microcavity Sensor
University of Rochester, US
biosensor, hydrogel, drug delivery, porous silicon, optical microcavity
Developing new medical diagnostic technologies that can be used in the home for early detection and disease prevention is a central focus at the University of Rochester Center for Future Health. This paper is concerned with developing a Smart Bandage concept envisioned as a therapeutic sheet containing an optical sensor designed to change color signaling an event that requires intervention such as the onset of infection or the detection of a pathogenic organism in a wound. Alternatively, the sensor can be designed to monitor the time released delivery of substances to promote wound healing. A device architecture representing a significant advance toward achieving these goals is presented. The Bandage is comprised of a porous silicon optical microcavity membrane sensor (5-7 ƒ_m thick) supported in a flexible hydrogel matrix. Key challenges in developing this technology are 1) maintaining an adequate sensitivity response and 2) developing methods to functionalize the sensor. Results are presented quantifying the magnitude of the bulk refractive index unit (RIU) sensitivity response demonstrating that the gel-supported microcavity device remains sufficiently sensitive to detect small changes in refractive index. The long-term stability of the sensor is also demonstrated.

What The Heck Is Nergi Fruit?
The latest superfood has lots of nutrients. But find out how you can serve, eat and snack on delicious Nergi fruit berries.
What are Nergi berries?
It is small, green and tasty. Nergi fruit look like grapes on the outside. On the inside, it's more like kiwi. And the taste is kind of a mix of both.
So, why haven't we seen these in stores until recently? Well, because Nergi fruit aren't native to Canada (surprise, surprise!).
The berries, a.k.a. kiwi berries, are grown in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ukraine, but they originate and are produced in Asia. And they are harvested in August and September, which is why the fall is the best time to buy them.
They're like strawberries, in that you should buy them when they are soft to touch. And, like most berries, you can eat the peel.
Here's how to eat Nergi
You can wash them and snack on them as you like. But they last three days at room temperature and a week when you keep them in the fridge or drawer. You can also add them to smoothies, salads and pretty much any dish you would add fruit to.
What are the nutritional benefits of Nergi?
Well, as a fruit, they're low in calories – 52 calories for about 10 berries. (One is about the size of a small plum.) And it's a good source of fibre, vitamin C and vitamin E. It does have sugar, as most fruits do, and are being touted for their energizing properties.
Ready to try some?
Like we said, you can just snack on them or add them to your favourite fruit recipes for a bit of sweetness. But, we also have these recipes so you can test them out. And they are totally instagrammable, too.

Why buy personalised square labels and stickers?
In the vast majority of cases, you can't go wrong with squares and rectangles. They are certainly up there with circles as some of the most popular shapes – and for good reason. Unless your artwork consists of a truly elaborate shape, then virtually any design can fit comfortably into a square or rectangle. Plus, with the ability to adjust the height and width to tailor the overall shape to your needs, it means that you can almost always find the right sized rectangle or square to go with your artwork.
The versatility of rectangles
Rectangle stickers are one of the few types where you can not only change the size, but also the shape. For example, circle and triangle shapes remain fixed, allowing you to simply increase or decrease the size of them. However, rectangles allow you to manipulate the overall dimensions by being able to use custom height and width measurements with FastPrint. Read More
Whilst this means that you can have small or large square labels and stickers of any size, it also means that you can adapt the rectangular shapes to your needs. For example, if you artwork is thin and long, then a smaller height measurement and a larger width measurement will create the ideal shape which is perfectly suited to your artwork. If you have something which is tall but narrow, then simply adjust the height and width to create a shape which suits. If you need a traditional square, then identical height and width measurements will create a square shape in any size you wish.
With this approach, your stickers can be catered to your artwork instead of catering your artwork to pre-set dimensions which you have no control over. This avoids wastage, avoids any unused white background and ultimately makes your square and rectangle stickers look much more professional.
How can I use them?
Printed rectangle labels and stickers are extremely versatile and allow for the vast majority of uses whilst being suitable for any type of artwork. You can use them for promotional advertising, informational needs, branding purposes and more. The shape of the sticker is especially useful if there's a lot of text or individual graphical elements, as the full area of the shape is usable from corner to corner. This is contrary to other shapes such as circles or triangles, where the actual usable space may be far lower depending on the overall shape of the artwork.

Some homophones, similar-sounding words that don't mean the same thing, are harmless. But elicit and illicit are not among them.
They are completely different parts of speech; choosing the wrong one would be an embarrassing mistake. Moreover, it could mean the difference between asking for a response and instigating dangerous criminal activity.
With that important warning in mind, how should you use illicit or elicit in your writing? There is an easy way to decide. Continue reading for a discussion of these two confusing homophones.
What is the Difference Between Elicit and Illicit?
This article compare elicit vs. illicit. I will use each word in an example sentence to demonstrate its proper use.
Plus, I will give you a useful trick to help you remember whether to use elicit or illicit, depending on your meaning.
When to Use Elicit
What does elicit mean? Elicit is a verb. It is a synonym of evoke, where that word has the meaning to draw out.
- The disruption, though annoying, was not enough to elicit a response from the judge.
- The company commissioned a survey to elicit the public's views on the newest flavor of its sour candies.
- Let us interview the witnesses to elicit the facts of the case.
- Specific projects are not the only target of NIMBYism. Proposed zoning and land-use regulation changes likewise elicit strong reactions and resistance. –The Washington Post
When to Use Illicit
What does illicit mean? Illicit is an adjective. It means illegal or otherwise forbidden. You can see examples of this word's use in the sentences below.
- The cartel used buckets of batter to traffic illicit drugs into other countries.
- The pawn shop's owner is on trial for selling illicit goods in his store.
- The car enthusiasts held an illicit race on Beachside Avenue at 1:00am.
- What's missing, former Losers tell The Post, is any examination of the show's secret and brutal tactics, which include providing illicit drugs to contestants and submitting them to questionable medical exams by the show's resident doctor, Rob Huizenga, known as "Dr. H." –New York Post
Trick to Remember the Difference
Here is a helpful trick to remember illicit vs. elicit.
- Illicit is an adjective that means illegal.
- Elicit is a verb that means evoke.
If the word you are using is an adjective, you probably mean illicit. Elicit is never an adjective.
If you are trying to use the word as a verb, you should use elicit. Much in the same way elicit is never an adjective, illicit is never a verb.
You can remember the difference between these words by remembering their synonyms. Both illicit and illegal begin with the letter I, and both elicit and evoke begin with the letter E.
Is it elicit or illicit? While these two words sound the same when spoken, the mean very different things.
- Elicit is a verb, and a synonym of evoke.
- Illicit is an adjective, and a synonym of illegal.
- Neither word is ever used as any other part of speech.
Since elicit and evoke both start with the same letter, much the same as illicit and illegal, pairing these words with their synonyms will help you remember which is which, and in what contexts they should be used.
Now that you know the difference between these words, you can be confident that your writing will not suffer from this simple mistake. Any time you have questions about other confusing words, you can check this site for an explanation.

Putting Faulty Cores to Work
Since the non-cache parts of a core are less regular, compared to on-chip caches, tolerating manufacturing defects in the processing core is a more challenging problem. Due to the lack of effective solutions, disabling non-functional cores is a common practice in industry, which results in a significant reduction in system throughput. Although a faulty core cannot be trusted to correctly execute programs, they observe that for most defects, when starting from a valid architectural state, execution traces on a defective core coarsely resemble those of fault-free executions. In light of this insight, the authors propose a robust and heterogeneous core coupling execution scheme, Necromancer that exploits a functionally dead core to improve system throughput by supplying hints regarding high-level program behavior.

How is data read?
How DataStax Enterprise combines results from the active memtable and potentially multiple SSTables to satisfy a read.
To satisfy a read, the DataStax Enterprise (DSE) database must combine results from the active memtable and potentially multiple SSTables. If the memtable has the desired partition data, then the data is read and merged with the data from the SSTables.
The database processes data at several stages on the read path to discover where the data is stored, starting with the data in the memtable and finishing with SSTables:
 1. Check the memtable
 2. Check row cache, if enabled
 3. Check Bloom filter
 4. Find the partition offset in the partition index in the chunk cache/memory
 5. If any required index data is not present in the cache, pull it from disk
 6. Read the data from the uncompressed chunk cache
 7. If any required data chunk is not present in the cache:
 1. Locate the data on disk using the compression offset map
 2. Fetch the data from the SSTable on disk into the chunk cache
Figure 1. Read request flow
Row cache
Typical of any database, reads are fastest when the most in-demand data fits into memory. The operating system page cache is best at improving performance, although the row cache can provide some improvement for very read-intensive operations, where read operations are 95% of the load. Rowcache is not recommended for write-intensive operations. If the row cache is enabled, it stores a subset of the partition data stored on disk in the SSTables in memory. In DataStax Enterprise 5.0 and later, the row cache is stored in fully off-heap memory using an implementation that relieves garbage collection pressure in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The subset stored in the row cache uses a configurable amount of memory for a specified period of time. When the cache is full, the row cache uses LRU (least-recently-used) eviction to reclaim memory.
The row cache size is configurable, as is the number of rows to store. Configuring the number of rows to be stored is a useful feature, making a "Last 10 Items" query very fast to read. If row cache is enabled, desired partition data is read from the row cache, potentially saving two seeks to disk for the data. The rows stored in row cache are frequently accessed rows that are merged and saved to the rowcache from the SSTables as they are accessed. After storage, the data is available to later queries. The row cache is not write-through. If a write comes in for the row, the cache for that row is invalidated and is not cached again until the row is read. Similarly, if a partition is updated, the entire partition is removed from the cache. When the desired partition data is not found in the row cache, the bloom filteris checked.
Bloom filter
Each SSTable has an associated Bloom filter, which can establish that an SSTable does not contain certain partition data. A Bloom filter can also determine the likelihood that partition data is stored in an SSTable by narrowing the pool of keys, which increases partition key lookup.
The DSE database checks the Bloom filter to discover which SSTables are likely to have the requested partition data. If the Bloom filter does not rule out an SSTable, the DSE database checks the partition index. Not all SSTables identified by the Bloom filter will have data. Because the Bloom filter is a probabilistic function, it can sometimes return false positives.
The Bloom filter is stored in off-heap memory, and grows to approximately 1-2 gigabytes (GB) per billion partitions. In an extreme case, each row can have a partition, so a single machine can easily have billions of these entries. To trade memory for performance, tune the Bloom filter.
Partition index
The partition index maps partition keys to a row index and supports iteration from a partially specified partition position if required. The size of database partitions often varies. The partition index trie data structure uses a unique byte-ordered partition key prefixes to point to:
 - A row index for tables that have wide partitions
 - Directly to the data position in a file for tables that have partitions that only include a few rows or a single row
If a leaf of the trie is reached, then the prefix of the partition key matches some content in the file, but we are not yet sure if it is a full match for the partition key. The leaf node points to a place in the row index or data file. In either case, the first bytes at the specified position contain a serialization of the partition key, which is compared to the mapped key. If it matches, we have found the partition. If not, since the stored prefixes are unique, no data for this partition exists in the SSTable.
Uncompressed data in chunk cache (memory)
The chunk cache buffers data before it is compressed and written to an SSTable. When reading data, uncompressed data is checked first. If the data is compressed and on disk, the process uses the compression offset map to locate the data on disk and uncompress the SSTable into memory. See Compaction.
Compression offset map
The compression offset map stores pointers to the exact location on disk where the desired partition data will be found. This location is stored in off-heap memory and is accessed by either the partition key cache or the partition index. After the compression offset map identifies the disk location, the desired compressed partition data is fetched from the correct SSTable(s). The query then receives the result set.
Note: Within a partition, all rows are not equally expensive to query. The very beginning of the partition (the first rows, clustered by your key definition) is slightly less expensive to query because there is no need to consult the partition-level index.
The compression offset map grows to 1-3 gigabytes (GB) per terabyte (TB) compressed. The more data is compressed, the greater number of compressed blocks required, and the larger the compression offset table. Compression is enabled by default even though going through the compression offset map consumes CPU resources. Having compression enabled makes the page cache more effective, and typically results in a timely search.

Given a Binary Tree, the task is to print all the Exponential Levels in the given Binary Tree.
An Exponential Level is a level whose all nodes of that levels equals to xy, & where x is a minimum possible positive constant & y is a variable positive integer.
Input: 20 / \ 9 81 / \ / \ 3 10 70 243 / \ 81 909 Output: 20 9 81 Explanation: There are 2 exponential levels: 20: 201 = 20. 9, 81: 32 = 9, 34 = 81. Input: 8 / \ 4 81 / \ / \ 5 125 625 5 / \ 81 909 Output: 8 5 125 625 5
Approach: To solve the problem mentioned above the main idea is to use Level Order Tree Traversal.
- Perform level order traversal of the given Binary tree and store each level in a vector.
- Then, in each level, if every node can be expressed in the form of xy, for y ≥ 0.
- If any value of the node of this level is not equal to xy, then skip to the next level.
- Print all such levels in which the above condition is true.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Non-specific is a widely-used term in radiology, and clinical medicine in general.
Non-specific is used for a symptom, sign, test result, radiological finding, etc., that does not point towards a specific diagnosis or etiology. For example, a high T2 signal lesion of the white matter on an MRI brain is a non-specific finding as the number of possible causes is broad.
Nevertheless, as was pointed out in a recent article, stating that a radiological finding is non-specific does not remove the responsibility of the reporting radiologist to suggest differential diagnoses, or further appropriate management.

Monitoring Kafka activity in Streams Messaging Manager
You can use Streams Messaging Manager (SMM) to monitor Kafka activity. To do this, you run two SSH sessions, one for producing data to a Kafka topic and the other to consume the data from the Kafka topic. Then you go to the SMM UI from the Management Console to track the producer and consumer activity.
Now that you know how to configure a Kafka client to connect to the Kafka cluster in CDP, generate some activity and monitor it using SMM. To do this, you collect machine usage data from the broker host using the vmstat command and stream that data into the machine-data topic.
For detailed and comprehensive information about SMM, see Streams Messaging Manager.
 1. Start by opening two SSH connections to the same broker host.
 2. On the first session, run the following command.
 BROKER_HOST=$(hostname -f)
 vmstat 1 1000 | kafka-console-producer \
 --broker-list $BROKER_HOST:9093 \
 --producer.config \
 --topic machine-data
 This command runs vmstat and sends each line from its output as one message every second to the machine-data topic.
 This example assumes that you are using LDAP authentication but you can use the authentication method of your preference.
 Leave the session running.
 3. On the second SSH session, run the following command to consume the data:
 BROKER_HOST=$(hostname -f)
 kafka-console-consumer \
 --bootstrap-server $BROKER_HOST:9093 \
 --consumer.config \
 --topic machine-data \
 --group machine-data-$RANDOM \
 You see the data produced by the first session continuously appear on the screen as output.
 Leave the second session also running.
 6. Click Streams Messaging Manager on the services pane to open the SMM web UI.
 It may take a few minutes for the consumer or producer activity to start showing in the SMM UI. You may have to refresh your page a few times until the data starts to appear.
 Once it does, you see one active producer on the left-hand side of the page and at least one active consumer listed on the right-hand side of the page.
 You also see the LAG metrics listed besides each consumer. This metric indicates the number of messages the consumer is behind the latest message produced to the Kafka topic. You can use this to quickly identify slow consumers that are lagging behind producers.
 7. Click either on the producer or on the consumer, and SMM shows their activity, highlighting all the topics and partitions they are writing to or reading from, respectively.
 In this page you can identify metrics for the overall Kafka topic activity and partition-level. The In Sync Replica (ISR) set for each partition can be identified on the screen. The ID of the LEADER replica for each partition is shown on the left-hand side, while the FOLLOWER replicas are represented as teal-colored boxes on the right-hand side.
 8. Click on an empty part of the page to clear the consumer or producer selection, and then click the profile icon for the machine-data topic.
 This opens the Kafka topic details page where you can find all the topic-related metrics and utilization charts.
 9. Click the DATA EXPLORER tab.
 In the Data Explorer page you can sample the data that is flowing through the Kafka topic. Select different partitions and adjust the offset sliders to become familiar with those controls.


no use to anyone other than the maintainer of Date::Manip. They are included solely for the sake of completeness. If someone wanted to fork Date::Manip, all the tools necessary to do so are included in the distribution.
(*) Meaning of $::TZ and $ENV{TZ}
In Date::Manip 5.x, you could specify what time zone you wanted to work in using either the $::TZ or $ENV{TZ} variables.
Date::Manip 6.00 makes use of two different time zones: the actual local time zone the computer is running in (and which is used by the system clock), and a time zone that you want to work in. Typically, these are the same, but they do not have to be.
As of Date::Manip 6.00, the $::TZ and $ENV{TZ} variables are used only to specify the actual local time zone.
In order to specify an alternate time zone to work in, use the SetDate or ForceDate config variables.
(*) Date_Init handling of config variables
The handling of config variables has changed slightly.
Previously, variables passed in to Date_Init overrode values from config files. This has changed slightly. Options to Date_Init are now parsed in the order they are listed, so the following:
would first set the DateFormat variable, and then it would read the config file "DateManip.cnf". If that config file included a DateFormat definition, it would override the one passed in to Date_Init.
The proper way to override config files is to pass the config files in first, followed by any script-specific overrides. In other words:
Date_Init doesn't return the config variables
In Date::Manip::5.xx, Date_Init could return the list of all config variables. This functionality is no longer supported. Date_Init is used strictly to set config variables.
(*) Config file options
Date::Manip 5.xx had the concept of a global and personal config file. In addition, the personal config file could be looked for in a path of directories. All this was specified using the config variables:
All of these have been removed. Instead, the single config variable:
will be used to specify config files (with no distinction between a global and personal config file). Also, no path searching is done. Each must be specified by a complete path. Finally, any number of config files can be used. So the following is valid:
Other config variables removed
The following config variables have been removed.
 TodayIsMidnight Use DefaultTime instead.
 ConvTZ Use SetDate or ForceDate instead.
 Internal Use Printable instead.
 DeltaSigns Use the Date::Manip::Delta::printf
 method to print deltas
 UpdateCurrTZ With real time zone handling in
 place, this is no longer necessary
 IntCharSet This has been replaced with better support for
 international character sets. The Encoding config
 variable may be used instead.
Other config variables deprecated
The following config variables are deprecated and will be removed in some future version:
 TZ Use SetDate or ForceDate instead.
Previously, holidays could be defined as a "Date + Delta" or "Date - Delta" string. These predate recurrences, and introduce some complexity into the handling of holidays. Since recurrences are a much better way to define holidays, the "Date + Delta" and "Date - Delta" strings are no longer supported.
TZ replaced (and enhanced)
The SetDate and ForceDate variables (which include the functionality of the deprecated TZ variable) are much improved as described in the Date::Manip::Config documentation.
Since it is now handles time change correctly (allowing time changes to occur in the alternate time zone), parsed results may be different than in 5.x (but since 5.x didn't have proper time zone handling, this is a good thing).
(*) today, tomorrow, yesterday
The words "today", "tomorrow", and "yesterday" in 5.xx referred to the time now, 24 hours in the future, and 24 hours in the past respectively.
As of 6.00, these are treated strictly as date strings, so they are the current day, the day before, or the day after at the time 00:00:00.
The string "now" still refers to the current date and time.
ISO 8601 formats
A couple of the date formats from Date::Manip 5.xx conflicted with ISO 8601 formats in the spec. These are documented in the Date::Manip::Date documentation.
Dates are now parsed according to the spec (though a couple extensions have been made, which are also documented in the Date::Manip::Date documentation).
There is one change with respect to Date::Manip 5.xx that results from a possible misinterpretation of the standard. In Date::Manip, there is a small amount of ambiguity in how the Www-D date formats are understood.
The date:
might be interpreted in two different ways. It could be interpreted as Wednesday (day 3) of the 2nd week of 1996, or as the 3rd day of the 2nd week of 1996 (which would be Tuesday if the week begins on Sunday). Since the specification only works with weeks which begin on day 1, the two are always equivalent in the specification, and the language of the specification doesn't clearly indicate one interpretation over the other.
Since Date::Manip supports the concept of weeks starting on days other than day 1 (Monday), the two interpretations are not equivalent.
In Date::Manip 5.xx, the date was interpreted as Wednesday of the 2nd week, but I now believe that the other interpretation (3rd day of the week) is the interpretation intended by the specification. In addition, if this interpretation is used, it is easy to get the other interpretation.
If 1996-w02-3 means the 3rd day of the 2nd week, then to get Wednesday (day 3) of the week, use the following two Date::Manip::Date methods:
 $err = $date->parse("1996-w02-1");
 $date2 = $date->next(3,1);
The first call gets the 1st day of the 2nd week, and the second call gets the next Wednesday.
If 1996-w02-3 is interpreted as Wednesday of the 2nd week, then to get the 3rd day of the week involves significantly more work.
In Date::Manip 6.00, the date will now be parsed as the 3rd day of the 2nd week.
(*) Parsing is now more rigid
The philosophy in Date::Manip 5.xx with respect to parsing dates was "if there's any conceivable way to find a valid date in the string, do so". As a result, strings which did not look like they could contain a valid date often would.
This manifested itself it two ways. First, a lot of punctuation was ignored. For example, the string "01 // 03 -. 75" was the date 1975-01-03.
Second, a lot of word breaks were optional and it was often acceptable to run strings together. For example, the delta "in5seconds" would have worked.
With Date::Manip 6.00, parsing now tries to find a valid date in the string, but uses a more rigidly defined set of allowed formats which should more closely match how the dates would actually be expressed in real life. The punctuation allowed is more rigidly defined, and word breaks are required. So "01/03/75" will work, but "01//03/75" and "01/03-75" won't. Also, "in5seconds" will no longer work, though "in 5 seconds" will work.
These changes serve to simplify some of the regular expressions used in parsing dates, as well as simplifying the parsing routines. They also help to recognize actually dates as opposed to typos... it was too easy to pass in garbage and get a date out.
Support dropped for a few formats
I've dropped support for a few very uncommon (probably never used) formats. These include (with Jan 3, 2009 as an example):
 DD/YYmmm 03/09Jan
 DD/YYYYmmm 03/2009Jan
 mmmYYYY/DD Jan2009/03
 YYYY/DDmmm 2009/03Jan
 mmmYYYY Jan2009
 YYYYmmm 2009Jan
The last two are no longer supported since they are incomplete.
With the exception of the incomplete forms, these could be added back in with very little effort. If there is ever a request to do so, I probably will.
No longer parses the Apache format
Date::Manip 5.xx supported the format:
used in the apache logs. Due to the stricter parsing, this format is no longer supported directly. However, the parse_format method may be used to parse the date directly from an apache log line with no need to extract the date string beforehand.
Date_PrevWorkDay behavior
The behavior of Date_PrevWorkDay has changed slightly.
The starting date is checked. If $timecheck was non-zero, the check failed if the date was not a business date, or if the time was not during business hours. If $timecheck was zero, the check failed if the date was not a business date, but the time was ignored.
In 5.xx, if the check failed, and $timecheck was non-zero, day 0 was defined as the start of the next business day, but if $timecheck

Advertising of Therapeutic Goods in Australia
A comprehensive system of controls operates federally across Australia to regulate the advertising of therapeutic goods. This system comprises three integrated levels of regulation - government regulation, co-regulation and self regulation. These complex controls are in place because therapeutic goods are not ordinary items of commerce and it is particularly important that any marketing of them is socially responsible, encourages only appropriate use of products and does not mislead or deceive.
The key components of the advertising controls are:
- advertising codes
- advertising approval requirements
- complaint mechanisms
- self-monitoring activities
Therapeutic goods include medical devices and all medicines, be they over-the-counter medicines or complementary medicines. Only medicines that are unscheduled, schedule 2, or schedule 3 and in Appendix H of the Poisons Standard, may be advertised to consumers. It is illegal to refer to prescription products/substances in advertisements for therapeutic goods directed to consumers.

What's the Difference Between Active Dry Yeast and Instant Yeast?
What's the Difference Between Active Dry Yeast and Instant Yeast?
Emma Christensen
Oct 16, 2015
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
Is it just me or do all these kinds of yeast sound suspiciously similar? I've been baking and buying yeast for years, and sometimes the yeast choices in the baking aisle still get me confused!
Here's the thing: Yes, there is a difference between all these varieties. And yes, which one you use does make a difference in your recipe.
The Difference Between Active Dry Yeast & Instant Yeast
The difference between these types of dry yeast is simple: active dry yeast has a larger granule and needs to be dissolved in water before using, while instant yeast has a more fine texture and can be mixed right into dry ingredients.
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
More About Active Dry Yeast
This is probably what comes to mind when you think of yeast. It's a type of dry yeast that's granular, with a consistency similar to cornmeal. It's a living organism that's dormant until proofed, or dissolved in a small amount of lukewarm warm water (about 110°F). It's then added to the rest of the ingredients, where it will cause dough to rise.
Active dry yeast is typically sold in individual packets (pictured here) or small jars.
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
More About Instant Yeast
Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result.
This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.
More About Rapid-Rise Yeast
Instant yeast may also be marketed and sold as rapidor quick-rise yeast. This yeast has also been milled into smaller particles so it doesn't need to be dissolved into water. In addition, enzymes and other additives are included to make the dough rise faster. With this yeast, you can skip the first rise of the dough and shape the loaves right after kneading.

Which Type Should I Use?
This part is really up to you. While each type of yeast reacts differently and produces baked goods with slight variations, there's no one right answer.
I recommend picking one kind of yeast, becoming familiar with it, and using it in everything unless the recipe gives a specific reason to do otherwise.
