What Is The History Of The Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dog Breed?
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog bred in the United States. The breed was developed in the 19th century as a hunting dog. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a descendant of the English retriever and is related to other American retriever breeds, such as the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The breed gets its named after the Chesapeake Bay, where it was developed.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever was developed in the 1800s by hunters who needed a dog that could withstand cold weather and had a strong swimming ability. The breed was created by crossing several different retrievers, including the Newfoundland, Flat-Coated Retriever, and other American and British retriever breeds. The American Kennel Club recognized the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in 1878.
What Does A Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dog Look like?
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a large breed with a thick, oily coat that can be either wavy or curly. The coat is typically brown or reddish, and the hair is short to medium in length. The breed sheds moderately throughout the year. The coat protects the dog from cold water and harsh weather conditions.
How Big Is An Adult Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dog?
Chesapeake Bay Retriever dogs are large dogs, with males typically weighing around 80 pounds and females around 70 pounds. They are muscular dogs with thick coats, making them appear even larger than they are.

I've recently come to grips in Turkish about the subtleties of translating "to like", and am wondering about how it works in a few other languages including Hungarian. What is the difference between:
I do know that "tetszik" is different from the others in that its structure is better translated as "to appeal to sb/sg" rather than "to like". However are there situations where natives prefer to use "kedvel-" over "szeret-" (and vice-versa)? What are some other ways Hungarians could use to translate "to like"? (i.e. did I miss including other verbs that Hungarians use to translate "to like" etc.?)
As I learn more languages, the more I realize that few true synonyms exist. It's more accurate to think of matters as a few words overlapping in meaning or register but the nuances remain distinct and beyond the grasp of a learner or not always covered in a big dictionary.

Space Syntax was an industrial sponsor and project manager in the "RaCMIT" (Refurbishment and Customer Movement Integration Tool) research project. We worked alongside University College London, Railtrack PLC, British Land PLC and Laing PLC. The research investigated the effects of refurbishment in complex buildings on pedestrian movement patterns, and developed a model for forecasting the likely effects of proposed refurbishment works.
The research project analysed two case studies where the interaction between refurbishment and pedestrian movement is critical to business performance.
The objectives of the research at Victoria have been to investigate differences in pedestrian activity before and during refurbishment works in the station. These involved the closure of an important pedestrian route into the station.
In particular, the research has aimed to:
- establish patterns of movement at different times of the day during a weekday and weekend, both before and during the closure
- analyse the dispersal patterns of pedestrians to and from the station and surrounding area
- establish patterns of stationary pedestrian activity
- analyse movement into station retail facilities
- assess differences in spending patterns before and during the closure
- assess the degree to which changes in spatial layout can be implicated in changes to the patterns of pedestrian movement and customer behaviour. Thus far the research has found that customer flows can be robustly forecast on the basis of spatial analysis, as can areas of informal stationary activity

⛰ Mount Kilimanjaro Facts
Kilimanjaro sits entirely within the borders of Tanzania, just 3 degrees south of the equator.
What's the closest airport to Kilimanjaro?
The closest airport to Kilimanjaro is Kilimanjaro International Airport, airport code 'JRO'. Confusingly, flight booking sites have recently started referring to JRO as 'Arusha'. But actually, there's another airport in Arusha with airport code 'ARK'.
How high is Kilimanjaro?
The altitude of Kilimanjaro's summit, Uhuru Peak, is 5,895 metres or 19,340 feet.
Does it snow on Kilimanjaro?
Yes, it can snow on Kilimanjaro throughout the year from around 4,600 metres and upwards. But snow is primarily associated with Kilimanjaro during the two wet seasons of April to May and November to early December.
Can a beginner climb Kilimanjaro?
There is nothing to prevent a beginner from climbing Kilimanjaro. You don't need any experience of altitude, or even of trekking. There's nothing technical or vertical along any of the routes, and only a couple of metres of scrambling at just one point on the Umbwe Route.
Why is Kilimanjaro famous?
Kilimanjaro's fame is primarily due to its being the highest mountain in Africa and the largest freestanding mountain the world - rising 5,118 metres from it's base.
Why is there snow on Kilimanjaro?
In spite of being so close to the equator, above 5,000 metres altitude the temperature stays below freezing nearly all the time. Because of this, precipitation - which occurs mainly during April, May, November and December - falls as snow.
Do you need oxygen to climb Kilimanjaro?
No. Oxygen is generally only necessary when ascending mountains about 7,000 metres. It is however recommended to carry supplemental oxygen for use in emergencies and to aid safe descents if a climber has succumbed to severe acute mountain sickness or has symptoms of high altitude pulmonary or cerebral oedema.
How cold is Kilimanjaro at the top?
On 'Uhuru', the peak of Kilimanjaro, it's usually around -6°C / 21°F, but with windchill, the temperature will often drop to around -10°C / 14°F.
What animals live on Kilimanjaro?
Commonly seen are the four-striped grass mouse, harsh furred mouse, climbing mouse, mole rat, blue monkey, colobus monkey, bush pig, bushbaby, small-spotted genet, tree hyrax, buffalo.
There are rare sightings of the olive baboon, civet, leopard, mongoose, serval, aardvark and honey badger.
Birds seen are the lammergeyer, scarlet tufted malachite sunbird, streaky seed eater, white-necked raven, Hartlaub's turaco, speckled mousebird, tropical boubou, silvery cheeked hornbill, montane white-eyes, common stonechat, trogan, Ruppell's robin chat, common bulbul, alpine chat, streaky seed-eater, augur buzzard, and crowned eagle.
What does the name 'Kilimanjaro' mean?
None of the locals are really sure what the name 'Kilimanjaro' actually means, but since the tribe that inhabits its foothills is the Chagga, and since the Chagga word for white is very similar to 'njaro', it's a reasonable guess that an earlier form of the language would have rendered 'white mountain' as kilima njaro.
When was Kilimanjaro first climbed?
No-one knows for certain when Kilimanjaro was first climbed. Many locals believe it was climbed by one of the son's of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba! However, in modern history the first people known to have climbed it were Hans Meyer, Ludwig Purtscheller and their guide Yohani Kinyala Lauwo on 6th October 1889.
Who was the youngest person to summit Kilimanjaro?
The youngest person known to have reached the summit of Kilimanjaro is Bran Rees-Evans who was 5 years 136 days old when he summited at 1345 on 26th November 2012. Exactly two weeks earlier he had just become the youngest person to summit Mount Meru at 4,566 metres altitude.
Who was the fastest person to ascend Kilimanjaro?
So far, all speed ascents have started from one of the park gates, which are generally already around a quarter of the way up Kilimanjaro from its base. However, the fastest ascent of Kilimanjaro from the park boundary to the summit was achieved by Karl Egloff in 4 hours 56 minutes.
Team Kilimanjaro is currently planning the first complete speed ascent of Kilimanjaro from a point reckoned to lie on the perimeter of its base, just outside Himo at 777 metres altitude.

Since most summit bids start from high camp at around 2300 - 0100, with exact start time usually depending on the guide's assessment of the group's pace over the preceding few days, most of the approach to the summit happens in darkness.
For some climbers this question is almost irrelevant as they will have to fit their climb into whatever dates they can clear from their busy work or family schedules, though for perhaps the majority, this is probably the first question prospective climbers should ask themselves.
You don't need to climb on these dates shown below. We publish them only for those who wish to climb with others they don't already know. The majority of our clients choose their own dates (at no additional cost), though most request us to open up their climbs for others to join - simply so as to have extra company on the trek.

9 Additional Configuration Steps For Using Nonintegrated Replicat
This chapter contains instructions that are specific only to Replicat when operating in nonintegrated mode. When Replicat operates in nonintegrated mode, triggers, cascade constraints, and unique identifiers must be properly configured in an Oracle GoldenGate environment.
This chapter is a supplement to the basic configuration requirements that are documented in Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Apply.
9.1 Disabling Triggers and Referential Cascade Constraints on Target Tables
Triggers and cascade constraints must be disabled on Oracle target tables when Replicat is in nonintegrated mode.
Oracle GoldenGate provides some options to handle triggers or cascade constraints automatically, depending on the Oracle version:
 - For Oracle and later 11gR2 versions, Replicat automatically disables the work performed by triggers during its session. It does not disable a trigger, but instead prevents the trigger body from executing. The WHEN portion of the trigger must still compile and execute correctly to avoid database errors. To enable triggers to fire, or to disable them manually, use the NOSUPPRESSTRIGGERS option of DBOPTIONS and place the statement after the USERIDALIAS parameter. To allow a specific trigger to fire, you can use the following database procedure, where trigger_owner is the owner of the trigger and trigger_name is the name of the trigger. Once the procedure is called with FALSE for a particular trigger, it remains set until the procedure is called with TRUE.
 - dbms_ddl.set_trigger_firing_property(trigger_owner "trigger_name", FALSE)
 - For Oracle and later 11gR2 versions, you can use the DBOPTIONS parameter with the DEFERREFCONST option to delay the checking and enforcement of cascade update and cascade delete constraints until the Replicat transaction commits.
 - For other Oracle versions, you must disable triggers and integrity constraints or alter them manually to ignore the Replicat database user.
Constraints must be disabled in nonintegrated Replicat mode because Oracle GoldenGate replicates DML that results from the firing of a trigger or a cascade constraint. If the same trigger or constraint gets activated on the target table, it becomes redundant because of the replicated version, and the database returns an error. Consider the following example, where the source tables are emp_src and salary_src and the target tables are emp_targ and salary_targ.
 1. A delete is issued for emp_src.
 2. It cascades a delete to salary_src.
 3. Oracle GoldenGate sends both deletes to the target.
 4. The parent delete arrives first and is applied to emp_targ.
 5. The parent delete cascades a delete to salary_targ.
 6. The cascaded delete from salary_src is applied to salary_targ.
 7. The row cannot be located because it was already deleted in step 5.
9.2 Deferring Constraint Checking on Target Tables
When Replicat is in nonintegrated mode, you may need to defer constraint checking on the target.
Perform the following steps to defer the constraints:
 1. If constraints are DEFERRABLE on the source, the constraints on the target must also be DEFERRABLE. You can use one of the following parameter statements to defer constraint checking until a Replicat transaction commits:
 - Use SQLEXEC at the root level of the Replicat parameter file to defer the constraints for an entire Replicat session.
 SQLEXEC ("alter session set constraint deferred")
 - Use the Replicat parameter DBOPTIONS with the DEFERREFCONST option to delay constraint checking for each Replicat transaction.
 2. You might need to configure Replicat to overcome integrity errors caused by transient primary-key duplicates. Transient primary-key duplicates are duplicates that occur temporarily during the execution of a transaction, but are resolved by transaction commit time. This kind of operation typically uses a SET x = x+n formula or some other manipulation that shifts values so that a new value equals an existing one.
 The following illustrates a sequence of value changes that can cause a transient primary-key duplicate if constraints are not deferred. The example assumes the primary key column is CODE and the current key values (before the updates) are 1, 2, and 3.
 update item set code = 2 where code = 1;
 update item set code = 3 where code = 2;
 update item set code = 4 where code = 3;
In this example, when Replicat applies the first update to the target, there is an ORA-00001 (unique constraint) error because the key value of 2 already exists in the table. The Replicat transaction returns constraint violation errors. By default, Replicat does not handle these violations and abends.
9.2.1 Handling Transient Primary-key Duplicates in Versions Earlier than
To handle transient primary-key duplicates in versions earlier than, use the Replicat parameter HANDLETPKUPDATE. In this configuration, a nonintegrated Replicat handles transient primary-key updates by temporarily deferring constraints. To support this functionality, you must create or alter the constraints as DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE on the target tables. If the constraints are not DEFERRABLE, Replicat handles the errors according to rules that are specified with the HANDLECOLLISIONS and REPERROR parameters, if they exist, or else it abends.
9.2.2 Handling Transient Primary-key Duplicates in Version or Later
For versions later than, a nonintegrated Replicat by default tries to resolve transient primary-key duplicates automatically by using a workspace in Oracle Workspace Manager. In this configuration, Replicat can defer the constraint checking until commit time without requiring the constraints to be explicitly defined as deferrable.
The requirements for automatic handling of transient primary-key duplicates are:
 - Grant the Replicat database user access to the following Oracle function:
 - The target tables cannot have deferrable constraints; otherwise Replicat returns an error and abends.
To handle tables with deferrable constraints, make certain the constraints are DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE, and use the HANDLETPKUPDATE parameter in the MAP statement that maps that table. The HANDLETPKUPDATE parameter overrides the default of handling the duplicates automatically.The use of a workspace affects the following Oracle GoldenGate error handling parameters:
When Replicat enables a workspace in Oracle Workspace Manager, it ignores the error handling that is specified by Oracle GoldenGate parameters such as HANDLECOLLISIONS and REPERROR. Instead, Replicat aborts its grouped transaction (if BATCHSQL is enabled), and then retries the update in normal mode by using the active workspace. If ORA-00001 occurs again, Replicat rolls back the transaction and then retries the transaction with error-handling rules in effect again.
If Replicat encounters ORA-00001 for a non-update record, the error-handling parameters such as HANDLECOLLISIONS and REPERROR handle it.
A workspace cannot be used if the operation that contains a transient primary-key duplicate also has updates to any out-of-line columns, such as LOB and XMLType. Therefore, these cases are not supported, and any such cases can result in undetected data corruption on the target. An example of this is:
update T set PK = PK + 1, C_LOB = 'ABC';

5 Reasons to say YES to a Homestay!
The thought of a homestay in a new culture where you may not speak the language can be scary. With every good challenge, comes an even greater outcome! Here are 5 reasons why you should say YES to a homestay.
 1. Communication becomes a lot more creative
While the thought of a language barrier can cause anxiety, have no fear! Odds are, the family you are living with won't speak much of your language either, leading to opportunities for other modes of communication. Sharing music, movie nights and playing games allows you to connect on a deeper level with your homestay family while being innovative with your communication. It also leads to tons of laughter as both you and your family use charades to tell stories, ask, and answer questions.
 2. Improvement in your language level
Regardless of how many language classes you've taken, nothing beats a hands on experience. Exposure in an authentic context helps improve your skills. From hearing the accent, to learning new phrases, you will leave the homestay with more confidence and a larger vocabulary!
 3. Everyday you learn something new
As you taste new food, participate in local dances, and learn local slang, everyday will be a learning experience. When immersed in a culture or place that is different from your daily norm, simple everyday tasks will turn into lessons.
 4. An authentic way to get to know a culture
It is easy to travel on the surface. Living with a local family allows you to gain experiences that traveling as a tourist could never provide. Discovering local spots, foods, and traditions from a native gives you insight that most travelers will never experience.
 5. A forever family
After living with a homestay family, you will have a new family in a different country forever! As impactful as the experience was for you, it was for them as well! A strong connection will be made and you will always have a place to call home in another part of the world.
Explore our Summer Student Adventures and Custom Group Travel for ways to experience a homestay and travel authentically!

An Industrial Engineer's Approach to Managing Oracle Databases - Robyn Sands
11 March 2008
This paper is an introduction to several concepts used in the manufacturing industry to improve efficiency. Some of these concepts will be compared to existing, well known methods in database management to demonstrate commonality between the disciplines. Other concepts will be explored to determine if there is a potential to develop new tools for database management. This paper discusses variation and why variation should be minimized where practical. The potential use of variation as a tool in performance measurement will be explored.

Resources are new types of materials introduced in Dead Space 3 to replace traditional credits, as the Store system is not present in the game. They drop randomly from Necromorphs, as well as appearing in storage rooms and crates. Resources are generally used to craft various items and essentials, but they are also used to upgrade the user's RIG if they have the necessary resources.
- Scrap Metal - The most common resource. It's used in nearly everything, from creating weapon parts and ammunition to forging new circuits and improvement of armor. Resource Scavenging yields Scrap Metal at a much higher amount than other materials.
- Semiconductors - A semi-common resource used extensively in Armor upgrades and the creation of some weapon parts.
- Transducers - A somewhat rare resource used extensively in Stasis Module upgrades and the creation of Stasis Packs. Transducers are generally found in wall containers in much greater amounts and availability than that of natural drops or in boxes.
- Tungsten - The rarest resource, used in the creation of advanced weapon parts, circuits and Tungsten Torque Bars, which can be used to unlock certain storage rooms. Depending on the type of weapon frame being used, Tungsten must be spent to unlock additional circuit slots at 20, 40 and 60 counts, unless using an Elite (or better) frame, which will have all slots already unlocked.
- Somatic Gel - Somatic Gel is only used in the creation of Med Packs and for RIG hit point upgrades. At higher difficulties or on Pure Survival mode, Somatic Gel becomes vastly more scarce compared to other modes, unlike other resources.
Ration Seals are special items not found anywhere in the world and must be found by Scavenger Bots. Instead of being used to make things, like the resources above, these Seals can be traded for Resource Packs at any Bench. The prices of resource packs are 10, 30, or 60 seals. The 10 Ration Seals pack contains a decent amount of resources, but unlike the 30 and 60 Ration Seals packs, no Mk. V weapon parts are given. For 30 Ration Seals you can get a Mk. V weapon part, with a 50% chance of a 2nd one, and a nice quantity of resources. A 60 Ration Seal pack has 2 Mk. V weapon parts, with a 50% chance of getting a third, and has more resources than the 30 Ration Seal pack.
Resources can also be gathered by deploying Scavenger Bots. Depending on whether or not you deploy the bot at a hotspot, it will bring many or little resources.
Resource-rich sites most appropriate for scavenger bot deployment are often marked by a weird pulsating sound, whether in space or on the ground. Areas that does not contain resource (i.e shown as a red circle) can still be searched with a bot, however will yield little to none resources at all.
Upon completing Pure Survival mode, Mega Resources deposits becomes available at random locations, and will yield much more resources per turn compared to normal sites.

Vista: Disable UAC for select applications
Microsoft has released a Knowledgebase article that explains how users can disable UAC, that is the User Account Control, for select applications in Windows Vista.
This solution requires an administrator account and the Application Compatibility Toolkit which can be downloaded from Microsoft directly.
The advantage of this solution is that you can disable the User Account Control for selected applications only while keeping it enabled for most programs.
This is for instance useful if you use an application day in day out but get UAC prompts whenever you fire it up. This can be annoying especially if you trust the program and don't think Windows should display the prompt each time as you accept it anyway.
The following process has to be run only once but it takes some time, here are the steps:
- Download and install the Application Compatibility Toolkit.
- In the Start menu, locate the new folder of the Application Compatibility Toolkit.
- Find the shortcut for Compatibility Administrator.
- Right click it and click Run as administrator.
- In the left hand pane, right-click on the database under Custom Databases and select Create New, and then Application Fix.
- Enter a name and other details of the application you want to alter behavior on and then browse to it to select it. Click Next.
- Click Next until you are in the Compatibility Fixes screen.
- On the Compatibility Fixes screen, find the item RunAsInvoker, and check it.
- Click Next and then Finish.
- Select File and Save As. Save the file as a filename.SDB type file in a directory you will easily find it.
- Copy the.sdb file to the Vista computer you want to alter the elevation prompt behavior on.
- Click Start>All Programs>Accessories. Right click Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
- Run the command below: sdbinst \.sdb
- For example, if you saved the.SDB file as abc.sdb in the c:\Windows folder, the command should be this: sdbinst c:\windows\abc.sdb
- It should prompt: Installation of complete.
If everything went fine, Windows Vista should not display an UAC prompt anymore for the program.Advertisement

What is the purpose of the report?
As with all members of society, our life experiences can affect our mental health, and the armed forces community is no exception to this. British military personnel face unique occupational risks and some require specific mental health services tailored to their needs.
Armed forces charities play an important role in providing mental health support to the armed forces community. Yet, prior to DSC's research, little data had been gathered on these charities. This report provides the first comprehensive overview of the subsector of armed forces charities providing mental health support.
As part of the Focus On series, this report provides more specific analysis of the work of armed forces charities across the UK – in this case, armed forces charities providing mental health support.
In this report, we examine provision made across three areas of mental health: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety, and substance misuse. It is acknowledged that other mental health issues exist; however, the above topics were chosen according to the prevalence of charities reporting on supporting these common areas.
The report aims to provide the reader with:
- Exploration of mental health support offered by charities
- Insights into the beneficiary population
- Assessment of expenditure on mental health provision
- Collaboration, evaluation and standards of practice
In addition, the report includes several case studies to demonstrate the work undertaken to provide mental health support.
This is a unique resource for charities, practitioners, government, policymakers and researchers to understand what armed forces charities do to support members of the armed forces community with mental health.
- This research identified 76 armed forces charities in the UK which clearly provide mental health.
- The most common provision is for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with over three-quarters (75%) of charities providing such support.
- Counselling services were the most commonly provided service.
- Less than one-fifth (18.4%) of charities provide a clinical service (services administered by a registered healthcare professional).
- Armed forces charities providing mental health support currently serve in the region of 7,000-10,000 beneficiaries per year.
- Relatively few charities which deliver mental health services themselves report implementing or working towards common guidelines or standards.
Ray Lock CBE, Chief Executive Forces in Mind Trust: 'It is only right that we invest in credible, independent evidence, such as this report, so that our efforts and resources are deployed where they are most needed, and where they can have the greatest positive effect.'

Time of coping files
I have two hard drives and I want to determine time of copying files from one to other.
So, I do:
1) Create file system on the second HDD and mount it
2) Copy set of files from / to folder mounted on step 1
3) Call sync to write all data to disks
3) Repeat step 2-3 10 times to make results more smooth
So, results are too strange:
The first time is a much greater that other 9, for example:
1000 51 50 49 52....
I don't have reasons why the first time is mutch greater than other 9: May be on first copying allocated internal structures of file system on the second HDD, or may be sync works on asynchronous manner, it started to write memory buffers to disk, and exits, this process continues then first copying is already started.

Still talking to Cortana? Microsoft gives you more control over how your voice recordings are used
Microsoft still wants to re-use your voice clips, but will now ask for permission first.
Alexa: The good, the bad, and the creepy
Users of Microsoft's voice-enabled services such as Cortana will now be able to decide whether or not the audio recordings of their interactions can be used by the company to improve its speech recognition algorithms.
By default, customers' voice clips will not be contributed for review, said Microsoft in a new blog post; instead, users will be required to actively opt in to allow the company to store and access their audio recordings.
Customers who have chosen to remain opted out will still be able to use all of Microsoft's voice-enabled products and services, confirmed the company. Their audio recordings won't be stored, but Microsoft will still have access to some information associated with voice activity, such as the transcriptions automatically generated during user interactions with speech recognition AI.
If and once they have opted in, however, users' voice data might be listened to by Microsoft employees and contractors as part of a process to refine the AI systems used to power speech recognition technology.
According to Neeta Saran, a senior attorney at Microsoft, the announcement reflects an effort to increase users' control over their privacy, and to make sure that "meaningful consent" has effectively been granted by the customer before their voice data is shared and used by the company. "This new meaningful consent release is about making sure that we're transparent with users about how we are using this audio data to improve our speech recognition technology," said Saran.
The voice clips that will be contributed by users who have opted in will be de-identified as they are stored, said Microsoft. Microsoft identifiers, as well as any strings of letters or numbers that can be telephone numbers, social security numbers or email addresses will be removed, to make sure that the data cannot be tied back to an individual. Any voice clip that is found to contain personal information will be deleted.
The process is part of a program already tried and tested. When users interact with voice-enabled technology, such as dictating a text message or requesting a web search, Microsoft's algorithms automatically translate speech into words – and improving the accuracy of that translation is an on-going challenge for the company's researchers. One way to do so is to train the AI system with more real-world data, to refine the technology's ability to make out words spoken in a variety of different contexts.
This is why Microsoft, along with most big tech players that offer voice-enabled products and services, is interested in re-using the recordings of customers' voice interactions with their devices. Audio clips can be stored and listened to by employees who manually transcribe what they hear, to improve the scope and accuracy of the database that is then used to train speech recognition algorithms.
The objective is to make sure that the technology understands voice requests in many different languages, and regional accents and dialects even with background noise. "The more diverse ground truth data that we are able to collect and use to update our speech models, the better and more inclusive our speech recognition technology is going to be for our users across many languages," said Saran.
Without the appropriate privacy safeguards, it is easy to see why listening into real-world conversations can be seriously intrusive. Examples abound of private voice clips that mistakenly ended up in the hands – or rather, ears – of technology companies without the knowledge or consent of customers.
In 2019, for example, Apple had to suspend a program similar to Microsoft's, in which contractors listened to recordings of Siri users' queries to improve the voice assistant's performance, after it emerged that the workers regularly heard voice clips containing highly sensitive information ranging from health data to sexual encounters and discussions with doctors.
In the same year, Google found itself in hot waters when it was reported that the company's employees were "systematically" listening to audio files recorded after users activated the Assistant by saying "Okay Google" or "Hey Google". News of privacy-invading eavesdropping also came that year from Amazon's Alexa-enabled smart speakers
Since then, Apple switched to an opt-in feature that, like Microsoft, allows users to choose whether they would like their audio recordings to be used for review. The Cupertino giant also announced that customers' voice clips would only be listened to by Apple employees, rather than contractors. Google followed suit, with a new Assistant privacy policy that make it default for the voice assistant not to retain recordings of requests
Microsoft, for its part, stopped logging any voice data for product improvements across all of its services at the end of October 2020. The option to allow the company to use voice recordings will now roll out gradually on a product-by-product basis, but the company has already confirmed that Microsoft Translator, SwiftKey, Windows, Cortana, HoloLens, Mixed Reality and Skype voice translation will be included.
Users who choose to let the company listen to their voice recordings will see all of their audio data contributed for review for up to two years, and stored in an encrypted server. If during this time, a voice clip is sampled for transcription, the recording may be retained for a longer period, "to continue training and improving the quality of speech recognition AI," said Microsoft.

Eastern North Carolina Insane Asylum (Goldsboro, N.C.)
Goldsboro, N.C.: The Asylum, 1885.
The 1884 Superintendent's Report of the Eastern North Carolina Insane Asylum, written by Dr. J. D. Roberts for the asylum's board of directors and Governor Thomas J. Jarvis, provides updates on finances, repairs, and patient statistics. The asylum, now Cherry Hospital, was established in 1877 by the North Carolina General Assembly and opened in 1880 as the Asylum for Colored Insane, the state's only hospital for mentally ill African Americans. In the report, Dr. Roberts discusses various patient issues, including population movements, cures, and deaths, and cites an increase in insanity that caused the institution to reach a record high of 152 patients in 1884. He mentions the institution's needs, primarily building repairs, a new entrance, population management, and more female employees, and recommends the state allocate additional resources to meet the African American community's mental health needs. The superintendent also raises concerns about patient escapes, fire safety, and the proposed superintendent's residence, which he believes to be too small and too near the asylum. Roberts appends several tables that contain patient data, such as causes for admission, prior employment, and age. The work concludes with the treasurer's report.

The Tornado of 1985 - Tornado Memories
On May 31, 1985, a series of tornadoes hit Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, leaving behind a wide path of death and devastation. Homes and businesses were destroyed and it was many years before recovery efforts were completed.
The Local History and Genealogy Center of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library has started a collection of photographs, newspaper articles and reminiscences from those who experienced the disaster. Our goal is to create a centralized collection of information relating to the tornado, so that future generations will have access to the events of that night more than 20 years ago, and the courage and community that arose in the hours, days and weeks following.
See a sample of photographs from our larger collection at the Photographic Memories page. Read what others remember about the Tornado of 1985 at our Memories From Around the Valley page. (A complete collection of written memories - including submissions not available online - is on file in the Local History and Genealogy Center.)

More and more employers are realizing the positive effects of flexible work arrangements on business outcomes and positive work attitude. Of course there are still some doubts and uncertainties about flexible work remaining to be addressed. Although within a wide selection of different forms of flexibility every company should be able to find a way to make the most out of flexible work. Not every form of work suits every company, so it is important to review your options before implementing a flexible work policy.
Whether it be through flexitime schedules, compressed work weeks, job sharing, remote work or part-time work, not only the companies and economies can profit and grow. We can all do our share in creating a healthier environment and employing happier and healthier employees.
Whole countries are beginning to recognize this. Some of them have already made it legal to request a flexible work arrangement.
Where in the world do employees have a legal right to request a flexible work arrangement?
France The Netherlands Germany The United Kingdom Belgium New Zealand Finland Australia USA (San Francisco, Vermont, New Hampshire and federal government employees)
The laws in each country are a bit different. What they all have in common is the employee's ability to request a flexible work arrangement from their employer without negative consequences.
How does employee apply for flexible work?
There are usually a few conditions for an employee to make the statutory application for a flexible work arrangement:
- employee needs to file a written application, stating what kind of flexible arrangement they propose, starting when, how the arrangement might affect business and how this could be dealt with,
- they have to be employed at the current company for at least a certain period of time,
- they can only file one application in a certain time frame, usually within one year.
In what case can employer refuse a request?
It should still be noted that in all cases, employers have the right to refuse any request for flexibility on business grounds, such as:
- there will be extra costs that will damage the business
- flexible arrangement will affect quality and performance
- the work can't be effectively reorganized among other staff
- the business won't be able to meet customer demand
- there's a lack of work during the proposed working times
However, the employer is obliged to review every request carefully and respond to it in writing in a certain period, usually no longer than in a month. In case the request is declined, the employer needs to state the reasons for their decision.
When both parties agree on the arrangement, an employer should write a statement of the agreed changes and accordingly change the employee's work contract. They should also set a start date for the new arrangement and set the length of a trial period, if they agreed on it.
Please refer to the work attendance policy of each of the countries to get exact information on requirements for a certain country.

Professor Oh Young Joo is author of "Understanding Jeju Food Culture" and "Horsemeat Dishes for Health," and is a specialist in Jeju local cuisine. He teaches nutrition at Cheju Halla University. — Ed.
Horse farming on Jeju started in 1276 when Yuan Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, occupied the island and brought with him some 160 horses by ship. The horses were put to pasture around the eastern village of Susan. It was a big success.
The Mongolians then built and operated massive ranches for their military horses and ever since then Jeju has been Korea's largest horse supplier. There is even a Jeju saying: "Send a horse to Jeju, and send a man to Hanyang [Seoul]," meaning that the island's weather and environment are ideal for raising horses, and its people have outstanding skills breeding them.
Horse meat consumption culture from Mongolia
Historically, Jeju people respected the horse for its many uses. They were used for food, transportation and communication, during wars, and for commerce. To the people of Jeju, its skin, fat, milk, bones, hair, urine, and feces were put to use, whether as food or for military or medicinal applications. But before the Mongolian invasion, Jeju citizens used horses only for transportation. Then, the citizens of Jeju noticed that the Mongolians slaughtered and ate the weak and older horses and from then on, eating horse meat spread throughout the island.
In Mongolian culture, honored guests were treated to horse meat and during weddings the bride and groom may receive the head of a horse as a gift. Horses were offered as sacrifices to the gods.
During the Goryeo Dynasty (_PHONE_), Koreans held feasts with horse meat to honor the Yuan envoy. Jeju presented horse meat jerky to the palace's ancestral rites table during the Joseon Dynasty (_PHONE_).
When horses were in short supply, King Sejong, well-known for his management of Jeju horses, would restrict the butchering and consumption of horse meat. In fact, he exiled 650 Jeju citizens for eating horse meat to Pyeongan-do, an area in the north of the Korean peninsula known then as the "harsh land." After that, eating horse meat became one of the great taboos in Korea, reinforced by the saying, "If you eat horse meat you will have bad luck for three years."
Despite the king's efforts, he could not stop people from eating horse.
At that time famines were common in Jeju because the island experienced frequent natural disasters. So the people of Jeju risked punishment from their government and ate horse to combat hunger. Along with famine, the Jeju people experienced poverty and many people would pull together to buy a single horse.
Under the Japanese colonial rule, the Japanese built a horse meat processing plant in Hallim and manufactured canned meat as war supplies during the Pacific War.
Horse meat dishes and health
Jeju people love horse meat. There is a saying: "Beef is not enough for a meal but horse meat is enough."
Horse meat is a tasty, nutritious food, and slightly sweet due to glycogen, a type of sugar the animal creates and stores for energy. Horse meat contains three times the amount of glycogen than beef or pork.
Horse meat is high in protein but low in fat. Horses are active animals and consume lots of energy. Their meat — unlike the double-edged sword that is the combination of protein and fat in pork and beef — contains one-third the fat of beef.
Horse fat quickly dissolves in the human body because the meat contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. It is especially rich in linolenic acid and omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, which prevents arteriosclerosis.
Horse meat is good for those who suffer from anemia because it contains high levels of iron. Its color is redder than other meats because it is full of myoglobin, a type of iron which colors muscle, and is why horse meat is called a fountain of iron. It has four times the amount of iron of pork and twice that of beef.
In addition, the iron in horse meat is absorbed quickly and efficiently into the body. Horse meat is highly recommended for children and pregnant women.

Get the pip
Become irritated or annoyed.
It isn't likely that anyone would guess the original meaning of 'the Pip'. The odd fact is that it was coined in the 15th century as the name of a respiratory disease of birds. Specifically a disease that had a typical symptom of a white scaly patch on the tongue. This is first cited in the Middle English translation of the 4th century Roman writer Palladius's De Re Rustica, circa 1440:
And other while an hen wul ha the pippe,
A whit pilet that wul the tonge enrounde
Contemporary with that usage is a reference to a human disease. This appears in John Lelamour's translation of the 15th century herbal guide the Macer Herbal:
Playnteyn helithe the pipe [Plantain heals the pip]
It's good to find a use for plantain, which most gardeners revile as a noxious weed.
Some early citations concerning the human disease Pip refer to it as a disease of the mouth and it may be that duplicates the bird disease name. Other citations are quite varied in their context and it is more likely that 'Pip' was a jokey disease name, somewhat like 'lurgy' or 'nadgers'.
Most references to 'the pip' related specifically to the bird disease, which appears to have been well known and is frequently referred to in print. People in poor spirits were described as 'like a chicken with the pip' etc.
It wasn't until the 19th century that the specific avian references were dropped and people who were were annoyed or dispirited began to be described simply as having 'got the pip'. An example of that comes in High and Low, a novel by the English author Henry Coke, 1845:
"Yes, will you come?"
"I want to come, but here's More says he won't go."
"What's the matter, has he got the pip?" inquired his lordship.

COVID-19 Response: For Nonprofits
An update to our nonprofit partners on our response to COVID-19:
Updated January 19, 2021
The Hartford Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund has made more than 230 grants, distributing more than $9.6 million, since the start of the pandemic. The fund initially focused on basic human needs as a result of health and economic impacts of the pandemic, and then transitioned to supporting a wide variety of nonprofits to provide services safely, including personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning costs, technology and minor building enhancements.
Throughout 2021, the COVID-19 Response Fund will make investments on a rolling basis. Examples of potential grant areas include:
- Vaccine education, outreach and distribution to reach residents who may be hesitant to get vaccinated.
- Systemic approaches to help students catch up on lost learning with a focus on reducing inequities.
Our grantmaking through the COVID-19 Response Fund will be focused on collaborative and systemic efforts. Check this page periodically for updates as the work progresses. We welcome your feedback and ideas at any point; we know it is paramount to remain flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the community.
In considering grants, the Foundation will take into account the following criteria:
- Priority level of the disparity addressed and target population expected to benefit.
- Strength of collaboration and coordination with existing nonprofit, state and local pandemic responses.
- Ability of the proposed strategy to leverage other resources.
- Cultural competency and agency governance diversity (board and staff leadership) that is representative of beneficiaries of the proposed efforts.
- Level of impact on residents of the Greater Hartford region.
The Foundation is proactively working with public entities, nonprofits and other stakeholders to make targeted investments addressing the disparities created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This work is also taking place within our outcome areas.
Thank you for all of the incredible work your organization has contributed to this year.

Deploying proxies in the UI
All organizations in Apigee Edge, by default, have two environments: test and prod. The naming is arbitrary. These environments are merely designed to provide you with one area to work on and test API changes, and another area where APIs are exposed to apps.
Deployment options
You can deploy multiple revisions of an API. It's common to have a revision in prod while another revision is in test as it's being tested or developed. As long as the API proxy base path stays the same, each environment can only have one deployed revision of an API. For example, you could have revision 1 deployed in test and revision 20 deployed in prod. You can view deployment of all revisions on the Overview page of the API proxy editor.
When you create a new revision of an API proxy without changing its base path, then deploy it to an environment in which it's already deployed, the previous version is undeployed and the new revision is deployed in its place. Note that deployment through the management UI might impact inbound calls. To handle and transition inbound calls more gracefully during deployment, use the management API. See the section on seamless deployment in Deploy API proxies using the management API.
However, Edge supports multiple deployments of a proxy in a single environment as long as the base path is different across revisions. That procedure is covered in this topic.
The following sections show you how to deploy API proxies in the management UI.
Deploying and undeploying an API revision
To deploy (or undeploy) an API proxy in the management UI:
 1. In the API proxy editor, select the revision you want to deploy.
 2. Click Deployment > {environment} and respond to the confirmation dialog.
 If the API proxy base path is the same as another deployed revision in that environment, the former revision is undeployed and the new revision is deployed in its place.
 For deploying multiple revisions in the same environment, see the next section.
You can also undeploy a revision by performing the previous steps on an already deployed revision, indicated by a green dot next to the environment name.
Deploying multiple revisions in the same environment
You can deploy multiple revisions of an API proxy in a single environment by changing the proxy's base path, saving the proxy as a new revision, and deploying the new revision.
For example, this is a great way to create multiple versions of an API proxy by specifying /v1, /v2, /v3, etc. in the base path. You could deploy all of those revisions to a single environment (such as test). Each proxy could be completely different, with different flows, policies, and configurations, and you could make API calls to each in the test environment.
To create and deploy a new API proxy revision by changing the base path
 1. Go to the Develop page. In the Navigator, select one of the Proxy Endpoint flows (such as the default item or PreFlow).
 2. Change the value of the element.
 3. Select Project > Save as New Revision.
 At this point, you can make any flow, policy, or other configuration changes you want to the API proxy and click Save.
 4. Deploy the new revision by selecting Deployment > {environment}.
On the Overview page, you can see your multiple revisions, all with different base paths, deployed to the same environment.

BAYOU, TX (SAN PATRICIO COUNTY)
BAYOU, TEXAS (San Patricio County). Bayou, between San Patricio and Mathis on a bayou that drained an area of fertile San Patricio County land, was settled in the post-Civil War period. Thomas Bernard Magowan settled on a farm on the bayou in 1876, and other families followed until perhaps a dozen lived in the area. The community had its own school, administered by the schools of San Patricio, and the loose community of families considered themselves a settlement apart from San Patricio. The later history of Bayou is unknown; most of its area is now ranchland.

The Wöhler curve, also referred to as the S-N curve, describes the function or. It is based on empirical results and often represents the median of the data scatter.
A significant interval of the curve can be approximated by the Basquin relation
Where is a constant specific to the test case.
The Basquin relation is often presented in the form
- is the so called detail category number.
Detail Category Number
The fatigue detail number defines the Basquin relation and specifies a Wöhler curve. The property is often denoted FAT, C, or in mathematical expressions:.
If there are more than one FAT tied to a geometry-type, they refer to different specifics such as weld quality, loading direction etc. Moreover, the FAT normally corresponds to a fatigue life of cycles.

This paper investigates whether people are equally irrational in finance and everyday decisions by examining the responses of a 20-question survey conducted at Pace University. Results from our data indicated that we could not conclude that people are more irrational in one area more than the other. People appear to be equally overconfident in both. Testing for frame versus substance, the second set of data; the t-test signifies that people are more irrational in their finance decisions than they are in their everyday decisions with more than 99% certainty. The third and final category of responses were tested for problem solving: in other words are people more rational in solving problems, such as "Montay Hall" questions, in finance or everyday. From the t-test results we were not able to conclude that people are more irrational in their finance decisions than they are in their everyday decisions. The test did however confirm previous research that people, given a second opportunity, usually do not choose to change their first response even if by calculating the probability it is the more rational decision. It seems reasonable to obtain different results for different decisions making traits. On the basis of these results we conclude that although people are irrational in general they may be more irrational in finance or everyday depending on the irrational behavior being examined.

Thermodynamics of Dimers on a Rectangular LxMxN Lattice.
The exact closed-form analytic solution of the problem of dimers on infinite two-dimensional and three-dimensional lattices is obtained. Entropy, isothermal compressibility, and constant pressure heat capacity of the system are given in terms of the normalized number density of dimers. The absolute activity of dimers is also given in terms of the normalized number density; it exhibits a behavior near close packing with a critical exponent exactly equal to 2, and with an amplitude 1/(4), where is the molecular freedom per dimer at close packing.

Not all subset relations are equally significant. For instance, the statement that the major chord is a subset of the 12-note set, although true, is insignificant, because all sets are subsets of the 12-note set; i.e., the statement is not discriminating. The larger the superset is, the less significant are its subsets. A 3-note subset is more significant if it is a subset of a 4-note set, than it is if it were a subset of an 9-note set. This observation leads to a method for establishing subset significance. It is suggested here that a subset whose cardinality is more than half of the superset is more significant than one that is not. In this way one may make a distinction between significant-subsets (mapping>50%) by labelling them with an S, and a less-significant subset (mapping<=50%) by labelling it with a +.
To determine if one set is contained in another place both in prime form. In some cases, the pins of the smaller set will be the same as those of the larger set and can, thus, reveal the subset relation. But, most of the time this will not be the case.
Figure the intervals between successive pins of both sets. These intervals should, as usual, be considered cyclic. If the div of the smaller set can be aligned with the larger or with successive sums of the larger, then the subset relation applies.
Two sets are in the complement relation when one contains all the pcs that are excluded from the other. For example, a C major scale excludes "black keys". The five black keys are its complement, and vice versa. Thus, a 7-note set has a 5-note complement, a 4-note set has an 8-note complement, etc., where the complement cardinalities always add up to 12.
In the table of sets, sets with complementary cardinalities and the same ordinal number are complements. But, if one has a B ending, the complement does not. Exceptions to this are indicated with a < sign in the table of sets. This sign indicates that the complement has the same name ending.
All hexachords have hexachord complements. Many are there own complements, except for the B ending. Those that are not their own complements identify their complements by the ordinal number that follows two dots in the set name. These dots also identify Z-sets, those that have the same interval vector.
Every set is in the subset relation to its complement except for the complementary couple 7-Z12/5-Z12.
The cardinality of the two sets must add up to 12. Write the pins of the complement of one of the sets and place it in prime form. If this matches the other set, the two sets are complements.
Similarity relations are used to describe the relationships between sets of the same cardinality. These are based upon pc similarity and ic similarity.
Allen Forte describes four basic types of similarity relations, which he designates Rp, Ro, R1, and R2. Rp is determined by pc similarity, and the other three are determined by ic similarity.
Rp, maximum similarity of pc, exists when the two sets of cardinality C have at least one common subset of cardinality C-1, which is the same as saying that there is one unmatched pc.
Forte remarks that Rp by itself is "not especially significant" because it is too common, and leaves it at that. By Forte's Rp criteria, for example, 014 would be just as similar to 047 (major chord) as is 037 (minor chord). And, 014 is just as similar to 037 (minor chord) as is 036 (diminished chord). This does not agree with the way these chords are commonly perceived.
For a revision of Rp that would agree more with our perceived notions of similarity, one could require that the unmatched pc pair be within a semitone of a match. This makes the criteria for maximal similarity more selective, more distinguished, and corresponding more closely to our perceived notions of similarity. This type of similarity could be designated as simply P.
Ro, called "minimum similarity", exists when two set of cardinality C have no corresponding interval vector digits in common.
R1 and R2 are known as maximum similarity of interval class. Such is the case when four out of their six iv digits are equivalent. The remaining two dissimilar digits determine the difference between R1 and R2. If these are the same numbers but switched in position, then the relation is R1. If the two dissimiar digits are simply not equivalent, even if switched, the relation is R2.
1. They must be the same cardinality C.
2. They have four out of six iv digits corresponding and parallel (same position). (R1/R2)
3. They have all but one pc correspondence. (Rp)
Maximal similarity exists when two pc sets of the same cardinality can be mapped to one another, with the exception of one pc in one of the sets. Additionally, the interval vectors of the two sets must have four out of six matches.
These may be called the X relation (Forte's R1) when the unmatched digits are switched and the O relation (Forte's R2) when they are not. (The reasons for changing Forte's symbols become apparent when a single letter is needed on a "Relations Triangle". Additionally, X and O are easier to remember, because they neatly describe their respective relations in the shape of the letters.)
Another type of maximal similarity, called simply the R relation, is more selective, and is based upon a perception model that is statistically determined. By this criteria it is assumed that the perception of the similarity of small sets is easier than is the perception of the similarity of large ones; i.e., the similarity of, say, 9-note sets would be more difficult to perceive than their complements, 3-note sets. Thus, a formula is constructed to simulate this difference in perception. To satisfy R the sets must meet the following criteria:
1. Two pc sets of the same cardinality can be mapped to one another, with the exception of one pc in one of the sets, which must be within a semitone of a match with the unmatched pc of the other set.
2. There must be a minimum of interval correspondence T, where T equals the total number of ics corresponding in the two sets. T must be equal or greater than SC/8, where S is the sum of the ics in the set cardinality (the sum of the digits in the iv), and C is the cardinality.
As an example, compare the following two sets, given in prime form with their interval vectors:
C=6, the cardinality. Comparing the primes, only one pin pair is unmatched (8 and 9), and they are a semitone apart, which satisfies condition 1. Then observing the ivs, the sum (S) of the ics in this cardinality is 15. (This is determined by adding the numbers in either iv. All sets of cardinality C will have the same S.)
To determine T: The number of ics common in each iv position is equal to the smaller number (comparing each pair of digits in the same position), and 132321 is the result. Adding these together gives T, which is 12 in this case.
The number 8 is the cardinality chosen to represent a reasonable limit to the perception of R; i.e., sets having cardinalities greater than 7 cannot have the R relation (although they may have other maximally similar relations).
Since SC/8=11.25 and T=12 is greater, the two sets of our example meet the criteria for the R relation.
Various operations are commonly performed on pc sets. These include rotations (CEG becomes EGC, GCE, ECG, etc.) and registral displacement. These operations have no effect on pc content. That is, they remain invariant under these operations.
Two operations that are commonly performed on pc sets that can alter pc content are (1) transposition and (2) inversion.
Pc sets often maintain some pc invariance after a transposition. A common example is the whole-tone scale, 02468A, or 6-35*. When this set is transposed by 2 semitones all of its pcs are held invariant. This would, of course, have important compositional consequences. It would be important, then, to know when pcs are held invariant under the operation of transposition. We can determine this by examining the iv of a pc set. 6-35* has an iv of 060603. The number that appears in each position indicates the number of pcs held invariant when transposed by its respective ic. Thus, the 6 that appears in ic position 2 reveals that when this set is transposed by 2 semitones (t2), 6 pcs (all) are held invariant. Since this is an ic transposition it may be either up or down, i.e., t2 or t10. A zero in the first position reveals that when this set is transposed by 1 semitone no pcs are held constant (also true for t11). The same is true of t3 and t9. There is a 6 in the ic4 position, meaning that at t4 or t8, 6 pcs (all) are again held constant. The 3 in the ic6 position, however, may seem puzzling at first. But, recall that 6 is its own inversion; therefore, the number of invariant pcs is double the number in the ic6 position


sfDoctrineActAsSignablePlugin ============================= The 'sfDoctrineActAsSignablePlugin' plugin automates the handling of 'created_by' and 'updated_by' columns. Each time a __Signable__ object is inserted or updated, those columns are automatically updated accordingly to the user who saved the changes. Instalation =========== Install the plugin via the subversion repository by executing the following command from the project root directory: $ svn co _URL_ plugins/sfDoctrineActAsSignablePlugin or by using the default symfony plugin install command: $./symfony plugin:install sfDoctrineActAsSignablePlugin Usage ===== Add the desired columns to your schema.yml for the tables you want to be signed. You can use a string or an int type, the behavior will automatically detect the type and store the corresponding information depending on this type (for a string the username is stored, and for an integer it's the user's ID). # You can either set the type of a column to a string (will store the username) or an integer (will store the user ID) actAs: Signable: created: name: created_by type: integer options: notnull: true default: 1 updated: name: updated_by type: string Also you may use global behavior in your doctrine schema (default field value is integer): actAs: [Timestampable, Signable] Dependencies ============ There is no required dependency, although : * [sfDoctrineGuardPlugin](_URL_ will provide you basic but flexible and robust user management. Relations --------- The plugin is provided with behavior relations for __sfDoctrineGuardPlugin__. For created and updated options which are defined as active (__not disabled__) and __integer type__, __creator__ and __updator__ relations are available, respectively. This means, that if you attach Signable behavior (defined as mentioned above) to any of your model, you can directly access sfGuardUser class objects. For example, the _Article_ model is defined as follows: Article: actAs: Signable: ~ you can access the user who created/updated the Article (integer option is the default in the Signable): [php] echo $article->getCreator(); echo $article->getUpdator()->customMethod(); Example use cases ================= Here are some example cases when you may find this plugin useful: string user reference --------------------- The project includes a blog or a forum system. Each blog/forum post page needs to display the user who posted it (or modified it last time). The symfony forum screenshot last column shows LAST POST, user name is highlighted in red (__Singable__ behavior) and the timestamp is highlighted in green (__Timestampable__ behavior):![symfony forum](_URL_ "symfony forum") integer user reference ---------------------- The more advanced technique is to use an integer created_by/updated_by column (the default) to store the user's ID (need to have appropriate user table, e.g. [sfDoctrineGuardPlugin](_URL_ In this case you may use relations and fetch User object at runtime (which is very difficult if you store user name as a string). This option is very useful when developing a CRM or ERP system where data modification is important (could be combined with data versioning).

text: English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c 'priest', reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klērikos, a derivative of klēros 'inheritance', 'legacy', with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) 'whose inheritance was the Lord'. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.
