Property Registration System in China: Theory, Practice and Future Challenges
27 Pages Posted: 14 Oct 2013
Date Written: October 14, 2013
This article aims to provide a general understanding of Chinese property registration system combining an institutional analysis with a selected case study. By conducting a case study, it attempts to assess the extent to which the property registration system is considered appropriate and effective by the market users and legal actors responsible for enforcing it. However, this article is not a quantitative study in the sense that collecting empirical data to examine black-letter provisions' application relative to objective performance indicators. It attempts to depict a general picture of the system by answering the following questions: whether Chinese property registration system is a mandatory registration system or voluntary recordation system? What is its property transfer theory underpinning the system of land registration? How close it is related to Torrens system? The answers will be provided in Part B and C of this paper. In the remaining sections, a survey carried out in Qingdao on Qingdao's registration system will be presented with the aim to illustrate the functionality of the property registration system in China.

Starting with Windows XP, run-down protection is available to kernel-mode drivers. Drivers can use run-down protection to safely access objects in shared system memory that are created and deleted by another kernel-mode driver.
An object is said to be run down if all outstanding accesses of the object are finished and no new requests to access the object will be granted. For example, a shared object might need to be run down so that it can be deleted and replaced with a new object.
The driver that owns the shared object can enable other drivers to acquire and release run-down protection on the object. When run-down protection is in effect, a driver other than the owner can access the object without risk that the owner will delete the object before the access completes. Before the access starts, the accessing driver requests run-down protection on the object. For a long-lived object, this request is nearly always granted. After the access finishes, the accessing driver releases its previously acquired run-down protection on the object.
To start sharing an object, the driver that owns the object calls the ExInitializeRundownProtection routine to initialize run-down protection on the object. After this call, other drivers that access the object can acquire and release run-down protection on the object.
A driver that accesses the shared object calls the ExAcquireRundownProtection routine to request run-down protection on the object. After the access is finished, this driver calls the ExReleaseRundownProtection routine to release run-down protection on the object.
If the owning driver determines that the shared object must be deleted, this driver waits to delete the object until all outstanding accesses of the object are finished.
In preparation to delete the shared object, the owning driver calls the ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease routine to wait for the object to run down. During this call, ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease waits for all previously granted instances of run-down protection on the object to be released, but prevents new requests for run-down protection on the object from being granted. After the last protected access finishes and all instances of run-down protection are released, ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease returns, and the owning driver can safely delete the object.
ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease blocks the execution of the calling driver thread until all drivers that hold run-down protection on the shared object release this protection. To prevent ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease from blocking execution for excessively long periods, drivers threads that access the shared object should avoid being suspended while they hold run-down protection on the object. For this reason, accessing drivers should call ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection within a critical region or guarded region, or while running at IRQL = APC_LEVEL.
Run-down protection is particularly useful for providing access to a shared object that is nearly always available but might occasionally need to be deleted and replaced. Drivers that access data or that call routines in this object must not try to access the object after it is deleted. Otherwise, these invalid accesses might cause unpredictable behavior, data corruption, or even system failure.
For example, an antivirus driver typically stays loaded in memory when the operating system is running. Occasionally, this driver might need to be unloaded and replaced with an updated release of the driver. Other drivers send I/O requests to the antivirus driver to access the data and routines in this driver. Before sending an I/O request, a kernel component, such as a file system filter manager, can acquire run-down protection to guard against premature unloading of the antivirus driver while it handles the I/O request. After the I/O request completes, run-down protection can be released.
Run-down protection does not serialize accesses to a shared object. If two or more accessing drivers can simultaneously hold run-down protection on an object, and accesses to the object must be serialized, some other mechanism, such as a mutual-exclusion lock, must be used to serialize the accesses.
An EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure tracks the status of run-down protection on a shared object. This structure is opaque to drivers. The system-supplied run-down protection routines use this structure to count the number of instances of run-down protection that are currently in effect on the object. These routines also use this structure to track whether the object is run down or is in the process of being run down.
To start sharing an object, the driver that owns the object calls ExInitializeRundownProtection to initialize the EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure associated with the object. After initialization, the owning driver can make this structure available to other drivers that require access to the object. The accessing drivers pass this structure as a parameter to the ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection calls that acquire and release run-down protection on the object. The owning driver passes this structure as a parameter to the ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease call that waits for the object to run down so that it can be safely deleted.
Run-down protection is one of several ways to guarantee safe access to a shared object. Another approach is to use a mutual-exclusion software lock. If a driver requires access to an object that is currently locked by another driver, the first driver must wait for the second driver to release the lock. However, acquiring and releasing locks can become a performance bottleneck, and locks can consume large amounts of memory. If used incorrectly, locks might cause drivers that compete for the same shared objects to become deadlocked. Efforts to detect and avoid deadlocks typically require the diversion of substantial computing resources.
In contrast to locks, run-down protection has relatively lightweight processing time and memory requirements. A simple reference count is associated with the object to ensure that deletion of the object is deferred until all outstanding accesses of the object are completed. With this approach, atomic, interlocked hardware instructions can be used instead of mutual-exclusion software locks to guarantee safe access to an object. Calls to acquire and release run-down protection are typically very fast. The benefits of using a lightweight mechanism, such as run-down protection, can be significant for a shared object that has a long life and is shared among many drivers.
Several other run-down protection routines are available, in addition to those that were mentioned previously. These additional routines might used by some drivers.
The ExRundownCompleted routine updates the EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure to indicate that the run down of the associated object has completed.
The ExAcquireRundownProtectionEx and ExReleaseRundownProtectionEx routines are similar to ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection. These four routines increment or decrement the count of the instances of run-down protection that are in effect on a shared object. Whereas ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection increment and decrement this count by one, ExAcquireRundownProtectionEx and ExReleaseRundownProtectionEx increment and decrement the count by arbitrary amounts.

Clinically Appicable Paper. Adherence to sport injury rehabilitation programs: an integrated psycho-social approach
MetadataShow full metadata
Introduction: The Adapted Planned Behaviour Model (APBM) is a two stage psycho-social theoretical model consisting of initiation or decision-making, and maintenance or rehabilitation behaviours. The initiation phase includes the primary factors of threat appraisals (perceived severity and susceptibility), goal orientation (learning goal and performance goal orientation) and attitude to the rehabilitation. These five factors directly influence the rehabilitation intentions which in turn influence rehabilitation adherence. Self-efficacy and self-motivation have roles in both the initiation and maintenance phases by influencing intentions and adherence. Rehabilitation adherence is further influenced by behavioural habits and secondary factors of coping ability (distraction, palliative, instrumental and emotional), treatment efficacy and social support (emotion and listening support and task appreciation and personal assistance from other people). Purpose: To test the ability of the APBM to predict rehabilitation intentions and adherence in individuals undertaking sport injury rehabilitation for tendonitis-related overuse injuries. Methods: This was a prospective one-group design in which 70 participants were followed through their rehabilitation. The sample consisted of 44 male and 26 female participants with a mean age of 32.5 years (±10.2), with most of the tendonitis-related overuse injuries being located at the ankle (41%), and lesser numbers at the knee (28%), shoulder (20%) and elbow (11%). Typically, the participants attended two 40 to 60 minute clinic rehabilitation sessions per week for eight to 10 weeks. The rehabilitation protocol consisted of structured progressive exercises and stretching activities, and in the early stages ice, heat and ultrasound were also included. At the beginning of the rehabilitation, participants were measured on self-efficacy, self-motivation, and the primary factors of the APBM (threat appraisals, goal orientation, and attitude to the rehabilitation programme) and rehabilitation intentions. During the rehabilitation attendance at the clinic appointments was recorded, and adherence to the clinicand home-based rehabilitation were measured. At the end of the rehabilitation the behavioural habits and the secondary factors of the APBM (coping ability, social support and treatment efficacy) were measured. Results: Regression analyses tested the ability of the psychosocial variables of the APBM to predict intentions, and the ability of the psycho-social variables and intentions to predict adherence. Intentions were significantly predicted by perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, learning orientation and attitude, but not self-efficacy, self-motivation and performance goal orientations. Clinic attendance was predicted by self-efficacy, self-motivation, intention, palliative coping, treatment efficacy, and personal assistance from the family. Clinic adherence was predicted by selfefficacy, self-motivation, intention, distraction and palliative coping, treatment efficacy and task appreciation by the physiotherapist and emotional support from friends. Homebased adherence was predicted by distraction and palliative coping, habit and task appreciation by the physiotherapist. Conclusion: The findings point to psycho-social variables influencing rehabilitation intentions, clinic attendance and adherence to clinicand home-based rehabilitation in an interactive manner during sport injury rehabilitation.

Experienced Defense For Those Facing Marijuana Cultivation Charges
While attitudes toward marijuana are loosening throughout the nation, in the state of Minnesota it is still a crime to do a variety of things with the drug, including being involved with its cultivation. As is the case with many drug crimes, the penalties associated with a conviction for this crime can be harsh. Matthew J. Mankey from the Mankey Law Office understands how a conviction for drug cultivation can negatively impact your future.
If you are charged with cultivating marijuana you could be charged in state or federal court, and in addition to fines you could face incarceration. Each jurisdiction has its own charging and sentencing guidelines, which take into consideration the size of the grow operation.
Penalties For A Conviction In A State Court
Just how severe the potential penalties for a conviction are in state court depends on the weight of the plants found. The heavier the aggregate weight of the plants, the more serious the punishment. Misdemeanor charges could lead to a fine of $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail, while the most serious felony could result in a fine of $1 million and 30 years in prison.
Penalties For A Conviction In Federal Court
In federal court, the determining factor in the sentence for someone found guilty of marijuana cultivation is a bit different. Rather than the weight of the plants, it is based on the number of plants. Fines can range from $250,000 to $1 million and incarceration from five years to life.
Take Action To Protect Your Future
Charges connected to growing or cultivating marijuana should be taken seriously. Attorney Matthew Mankey understands that if you have been charged with a drug crime you have a lot to lose. If you are in Minneapolis or the western suburbs, call the Mankey Law Office at _PHONE_ to speak to a lawyer, or send an email to schedule a free initial consultation.

Rain in Spain is on the decline
02 February 2011
A study led by the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) has studied precipitation trends in Spain's 10 hydrological basins over the 1946 to 2005 period. The results show that precipitation has declined overall between the months of March and June, reducing the length of the rainy season. The rains are heavier in October in the north west of the country.
Since 1946, the average precipitation falling on Spanish hydrological basins has undergone "notable" changes. The researchers observed a widespread decline in March and June, above all in March (except in the basin of the Segura), with less intense rains in June.
"The basin of the Guadiana (in the south west of Spain) has experienced the strongest downward trend, with a reduction of 18%, while the positive trends recorded in the north west of the peninsula were less intense (the Norte, Douro and Tagus basins)", José Carlos González-Hidalgo, lead author of the study and a researcher at the UNIZAR, tells SINC.
The study, which has been published in the journal Climate Research, shows that the decline in rainfall in March leads to a reduction in the duration of the wet season. Even with the trend recorded in October (increased precipitation), the total precipitation for the hydrological year is increasingly dependent on the onset of the wet season. "In other words, it seems that the wet season has become shorter", explains González-Hidalgo.
Understanding what is happening in the basins
The research team studied the precipitation changes in each Spanish basin, and analysed the monthly series using the running trend technique, which "calculates the precipitation trend for various successive years, looks at the changes that have taken place, and detects possible modifications in this trend", the scientist explains.
Water is the most important resource in Spain, and it is managed by national water planning units at local level within the hydrological basins. "In order to plan the most effective way of using water, it is of fundamental importance to know what has happened in these basins, and what is happening now," the professor from the UNIZAR Department of Geography explains.
The data used to produce the study come from MOPREDAS, the most complete monthly precipitation database in mainland Spain, produced by the Department of Geography of the UNIZAR.
The UNIZAR researchers, working with the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute and the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science of Bologna (Italy), used all the records preserved in the archives of the Spanish State Meteorology Agency (AEMET).

A generalized theory of open quantum systems combined with mean-field theory is used to study a superconducting wire in contact with thermal baths at different temperatures. It is shown that, depending on the temperature of the colder bath, the temperature of the hotter bath can greatly exceed the equilibrium critical temperature, and still the wire remains in the superconducting state, meaning that the effective local temperature in the wire is maintained below the critical temperature. The effects of contact areas and disorder are studied. Finally, an experimental setup is suggested to test our predictions.

text: Lambertville is a City in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the city population was 3,868. Lambertville was originally incorporated as a town by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 1, 1849, from portions of West Amwell Township. The area was reincorporated as a city on March 26, 1872. Lambertville is located on the Delaware River in the southwestern portion of Hunterdon County. During the 1700s, the City was named after various operators of ferries across the river to Pennsylvania, ultimately becoming known as Coryell's Ferry, after Emanuel Coryell who owned the Ferry. Coryell's Ferry was the western terminus of the New Jersey portion of the York Road (which is now known as U.S. Highway 202) connecting New York City and Philadelphia. The City was named Lambertville in 1814 when the post office was established, in honor of John Lambert, a local resident, who had served as United States Senator and Acting Governor of New Jersey.

2005 Edition
Appendix A: Life-Cycle Cost Methodology
To properly plan for future repairs or scheduled maintenance in a tunnel, it is beneficial to perform a life-cycle cost analysis of the different options involved for each anticipated major repair to ensure the greatest cost efficiency over the life of the tunnel. This process involves evaluating the alternatives over a given duration or economic life to determine specific costs involved for each option and then equating them through a series of mathematical formulas that enable the costs of each option to be compared at a common point in time. The life-cycle costs of a given alternative include all associated costs over the expected life of the option. In general these costs may include:
 - Initial costs - Engineering or design costs, price of equipment, construction costs, etc.
 - Operating/energy costs - Annualized amount to operate (e.g. cost of electricity to run mechanical equipment).
 - Maintenance costs - Annualized costs to maintain equipment or repair minor defects.
 - Rehabilitation costs - Future expense for known procedure at specified time (e.g. certain type of light bulbs may need to be replaced every five years).
 - User costs - Costs associated with impact on the functioning of tunnel (e.g. tunnel may need shut down for repair; therefore, impact to traffic can be shown by applying an annualized cost to each hour tunnel is closed).
 - Salvage value - Sale value of equipment at end of expected life (e.g. mechanical fan or railroad tie may be of some value to others even after it has served its purpose in the tunnel).
There are two main methods for performing a life-cycle cost analysis, namely, the present worth and the annualized methods.
 - 1. Present Worth Method
 As the name implies, this method attempts to bring all of the present and future costs of a given option to present day values. This process should be completed for each major repair/rehabilitation and subsequently the options could be compared. Determining the present worth of a future expense is done by taking into account inflation of the dollar and therefore discounting the amount by a predetermined rate over the period between the future expense and the present time. The present worth of the future expense is also the amount that could be invested today with reinvested interest over the duration to equal the amount of the future expense. An example of a future expense would be the rehabilitation costs mentioned above. The general form of the equation for determining the present worth of a future expense is:
 P = F 1
 ( 1 + i )n
 P = Present worth
 F = Future one-time expense
 n = Number of years
 i = Discount rate
 Future expenses can also be uniform, in that the same expense occurs at the end of each year. An example of this would be the annualized maintenance costs described previously. The general form of the equation for determining the present worth of an end-of-year expense is:
 P = A [ ( 1 + i)n - 1 ]
 [ i ( 1 + i )n ]
 P = Present worth
 A = End-of-year payments
 n = Number of years
 i = Discount rate
 - 2. Annualized Method
 The annualized method is used to transform present and future costs into a uniform annual expense. This annual expense can be compared to the annual expenses of the other repair/rehabilitation alternatives to determine which one is most cost effective. Converting all future expenses into a present value as before and then using the equation below to convert that value into an annual expense will provide a uniform annual cost.
 A = P [ i ( 1 + i )n ]
 [ (1 + i )n - 1 ]
 A = End-of-year payments
 P = Present worth
 n = Number of years
 i = Discount rate
 The above two methods can also be performed without using the actual equations given. Standard economic tables have been developed that give factors that are based on the discount rate and the economic life under consideration. These factors are also unique to the desired result. The procedure for using standard economic tables is as follows:
 - Determine the discount rate (i) and economic life (n) to be used for the analysis. It is important to choose an economic life that is equal for the given alternatives if the present worth method is to be used. Otherwise, the annualized method must be used.
 - Develop a cash flow diagram for each option, which shows all relevant costs described above on a timeline of years in the economic life.
 - Take individual costs, whether uniform or one-time, and insert them in the proper formula given below along with the factor from the appropriate economic table.
 - (P/F,i%,n) - or present worth (P) given future expense (F) at discount rate (i) for number of years (n).
 - (P/A,i%,n) - or present worth (P) given end-of-year payments (A) at discount rate (i) for number of years (n).
 - (A/P,i%,n) - or end-of-year payments (A) given present worth (P) at discount rate (i) for number of years (n).
 Caution must be used in determining the appropriate discount rate. Because of the power of compounded interest, a difference in discount rate can actually change the final outcome of the analysis if the repair/rehabilitation options being considered have different arrangements of uniform and onetime costs. According to Peter Kleskovic who wrote A Discussion of Discount Rates for Economic Analysis of Pavements, a draft report for FHWA:
 "The discount rate can affect the outcome of a life-cycle cost analysis in that certain alternatives may be favored by higher or lower discount rates. High discount rates favor alternatives that stretch out costs over a period of time, since the future costs are discounted in relation to the initial cost. A low discount rate favors high initial cost alternatives since future costs are added in at almost face value. In the case of a discount rate equal to 0, all costs are treated equally regardless of when they occur. Where alternative strategies have similar maintenance, rehabilitation, and operating costs, the discount rate will have a minor effect on the analysis and initial costs will have a larger effect."
 The above procedures will allow the most economical repair/rehabilitation alternative to be identified, but as can be expected, the least costly is not always the best. Therefore further comparison can sometimes be utilized to take into account the "human factors" of the alternatives. In his book entitled Value Engineering: Practical Applications... for Design, Construction, Maintenance & Operations, Alphonse Dell'Isola, P.E., has developed a procedure for weighted evaluation of human factors such as comfort, appearance, performance, and safety along with the economic costs. It is suggested that his procedure or something similar be used if the effects of the human factors are of concern during the economic life of the alternatives.
 - 3. Example
 The following example uses completely arbitrary costs to properly show the benefits of a life-cycle cost analysis.
 Consider a transit tunnel in which the track support system is in need of replacement. Currently the system is ballasted track and can either be replaced with direct fixation slab track or a new, ballasted track system. Costs given to the different options are shown below for every 150 m (500 ft) of track.
 - a) Direct Fixation Slab Track:
 Initial Construction Costs$500,000
 Joint/Crack Sealing (years 10, 20, 30 and 40)$20,000
 Annual Maintenance$1,000
 Estimated Life50 years
 Direct Fixation Slab Track
 - b) Ballasted Track:
 Initial Construction Costs$250,000
 Replacement Ties (years 12 and 24)$200,000
 Annual Maintenance$20,000
 Estimated Life35 years
 Ballasted Track
 - c) Factors from Standard Economic Table (assume 7 percent discount rate)
 - d) Alternate 1 - Direct Fixation Slab Track
 - (1) Present Worth Method
 P =$500,000 + $1,000(P/A,7%,50) + $20,000(P/F,7%,10) + $20,000(P/F,7%,20) + $20,000(P/F,7%,30) + $20,000(P/F,7%,40) - $100,000(P/F,7%,50)
 P =$500,000 + $1,000(13.8007) + $20,000(0.5083) + $20,000(0.2584) + $20,000(0.1314) + $20,000(0.0668) - $100,000(0.0339)
 P =$529,709
 - (2) Annualized Method
 A =$500,000(A/P,7%,50) + $1,000 + $20,000(P/F,7%,10)(A/P,7%,50) + $20,000(P/F,7%,20)(A/P,7%,50) + $20,000(P/F,7%,30)(A/P,7%,50) + $20,000(P/F,7%,40)(A/P,7%,50) - $100,000(P/F,7%,50)(A/P


, see Berline, Getzler, Vergne ''Heat kernels and Dirac operators'' (it is in the background chapter 1). There is a Fubini principle for integration over the fibres, which reads:
$$\int_E e(TE) = \int_E e(T_v E) f^{\ast} e (TB) = \int_B (\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)) e (TB).$$
The form $\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)$ is a $0$-form, i.e. a function, and you can test its values by restriction to the fibres. The value is the Euler characteristic of the fibre, by Gauss-Bonnet. Thus
$$ \int_B (\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)) e (TB)= \chi(F) \int_B e(TB)= \chi(F) \chi(B).$$

I still don't understand how we pick euler classes on each fiber in a 'continuous' way... what am I missing? – Dylan Wilson Mar 6 '11 at 9:30
Or is the problem avoided by starting with a metric on the total space, restricting it to the fibers, and then 'pushing it down' to the base? – Dylan Wilson Mar 6 '11 at 9:31
Pick a (bundle) metric on $T_v E$. This gives you a definite form on $E$ representing $e(T_v E)$. Then pick a metric on $TB$ and pull it back to $f^{\ast} TB$. Finally, pick a splitting of $TE$, which gives a metric on $TE$. This metric is well-adapted to the problem. – Johannes Ebert Mar 6 '11 at 10:11

Identification of the Covariance Structure of Earnings using the GMM Estimator
O'Neill, Donal and Doris, Aedin and Sweetman, Olive (2010) Identification of the Covariance Structure of Earnings using the GMM Estimator. NUI Maynooth.
In this paper we study the performance of the GMM estimator in the context of the covariance structure of earnings. Using analytical and Monte Carlo techniques we examine the sensitivity of parameter identification to key features such as panel length, sample size, the degree of persistence of earnings shocks and the evolution of inequality over time. We show that the interaction of transitory persistence with the time pattern of inequality determines identification in these models and offer some practical recommendations that follow from our findings.

- Step 2 – Select 'Photoshop' and then 'Image Processor…'
- Step 3 – Photoshop will automatically launched, and a dialog box will appear, choose the settings and click 'Run'
- Step 1 – In Adobe Photoshop, go to 'File'
- Step 2 – Select 'Script'
- Step 3 – Choose 'Image Processor'
This is the easiest and fastest method we have found, using other image viewer software such as ACDsee or IrfanViewer might or might not work. Photoshop is the best bet if you already own the software.
This simple tutorial works on any latest format, even those from Nikon and Canon. If it doesn't, perhaps it is time to update your Photoshop.

Nature published the Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars – identyfing ascendant performers in the research world. The University of Warsaw was ranked among the world's top 100 institutions.
The Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars uses the power of the Nature Index, which tracks the high-quality research of more than 8 000 global institutions. Applying WFC (weighted fractional count) the Nature summed up scientific achievements of institutions over the last four years (2012-2015). The index metric used to assess a country's contribution to 68 high impact natural science journals. Poland was mentioned as a one of the examples of countries that improved their research performance more than most. In the top 100 institutions the UW was ranked 96th. However, in the 25 institutions of South East Europe the UW was placed 3rd. Read more >>
Our University is present in more than 20 countries in 5 continents through archaeological excavations, ethnography and cultural studies research.
Some sites have been the subject of our research even for several decades. The archaeologists who investigate the ancient Egypt have at their disposal the University's Research Station in Cairo, established in 1959. Polish telescopes operate at the Las Campanas Observatory in the Atacama Desert, Chile, where UW astronomers perform large-scale sky surveys.

LAKEPORT -- Lake County residents learned firsthand about the ecology of the Clear Lake hitch, a native fish, and the petition to list the fish as an endangered species at a workshop on Monday evening.
The workshop was sponsored jointly by the Chi Council and the Lake County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee, The workshop, which was held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the courthouse in Lakeport, drew a full house with many of those in attendance wanting to know the current status of the hitch and the process the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses list them as endangered.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition to list the Clear Lake hitch as endangered species on Sept. 25. The reason given was that surveys taken during the spawning runs have shown a dramatic decline in the number of fish migrating up the streams that flow into Clear Lake. John Ambrose, a fish and wildlife biologist and expert on endangered species, explained to the audience how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) works. He said that any group or individual can petition the FWS to place a species on the endangered list. The FWS has 90 days make an initial finding on the merits of the petition and whether the submission warrants a full status review. If the FWS decides that a species should be investigated the agency then has one year to determine if the listing is justified.
It can actually take longer than a year. Once a species is formally declared endangered
Greg Giusti of the University of California system gave a presentation on the ecology of the hitch. He said there are far fewer hitch today than there were 20 years ago. Giusti said there are a number of factors for the decline of the hitch and that they range from less plankton food for the hitch, poor spawning conditions to predation by other fish and birds.
The hitch is a member of the minnow family and has been in Clear Lake for thousands of years. They spawn in streams such as Kelsey Creek, Adobe Creek and other creeks that flow into the lake. At one time they numbered in the tens of thousands and were a valuable food supply for the local Indians. According to experts, the hitch population has been in a steady decline for more than 20 years.
The local Indian tribes have been doing hitch surveys and tagging in the spawning streams using FWS grant money. Their surveys also show the hitch numbers to be in a steady decline.


Well, it sucks but it's true. There's a bunch of noise on the Internet about how to do unique constraints in Google App Engine, but it seems like these are the only two safe ways. The thing to remember is, the only uniqueness that GAE will guarantee is on key names.
Approach #1: Make the unique field be the key name
As long as you promise to yourself that you'll never need to change the value, then you should make the unique field be the "key name" in the table. Then you can call db.Model.get_or_insert(key_name) to either retrieve an existing one or create a new one. Too bad in the real world, it's really hard to find something like this. Email addresses never change? Let me check my hotmail account. Social security numbers never change? Well, unless there was a typo. Every time I think I found a unique field that can never change, I'm proven wrong. So you'll never catch me doing this. But YMMV.
Approach #2: Create a separate table to track all used ids
This is pretty slick -- I found it in this article: Add a Unique Constraint to Google App Engine. The approach is to create a new table called Unique, and make the "key name" of each row in Unique be a combination of the name of the table and the unique field value. The downside is that you have extra storage overhead: a new table with the list of unique fields, plus the default indices that GAE makes for it. This is fairly analogous to declaring a unique index in SQL databases, since a unique SQL index is merely a persisted list of unique fields. There's just less overhead in a SQL database implementation because it's only one list, whereas in GAE this user-generated unique index is really one list (for the table) plus the default indices GAE makes for any entity.
I must say that Google is aware of this issue. It looks like they'd have to make some major architectural changes to implement this. My guess is if they ever fix this, they'll sneak in approach #2, above their BigTable support and below the API that us users use.

Many window frames are made of wood. The most common problem with window frames is sticking caused by:
- Broken sash cords
New paint is a major cause of windows sticking. Sticking of freshly painted windows can be prevented by leaving the window slightly open while painting. As soon as the paint dries, slide the window up and down. Do not wait too long because paint hardens as it ages.
If the window has been painted shut for a while, it will be difficult to open. Use a putty knife to cut through the paint seal. Never pry the window open with a chisel or pry bar.
Even if you use a piece of wood to protect the sill, the window sash will be dented.
Windows that are badly stuck may have to be removed from the frame. The sliding part of the window (sash) is held in place by two strips of wood called stops. Carefully pry up the stops. Remember, you want to use these stops again. A little patience saves buying, cutting, fitting, and painting a new piece of wood. Don't drive the nails back out through the stop after the stop is off. Use pliers and pull the nails out through the back side of the stop. This will leave a neat little hole.
With the sash out, you may sand or scrape off the excess paint. When the weather is dry, cover any bare wood with a thin coat of paint or fast-drying sealer.
Paint protects wood frames. If moisture soaks the frame, the wood will swell. Never plane a frame that is swollen. Otherwise, when the wood dries, it will be too loose and will rattle in the wind. Instead, rub paraffin, soap, or a stick lubricant on the frame. Warped frames should be planed or sanded. If the wood is warped too much, it must be replaced.
If a sash cord breaks or the weight comes loose, the window will hang crooked, and the window won't stay up. To fix the cord, pry off the stops. Find the sash weight door and
Usually it is held in place by one or two screws. Reach inside and take out the weight. If the sash cord is still good, the weight probably came untied. Retie it and put everything back together.
If you need a new sash cord, make sure it's the same thickness as the old one or it won't run through the pulley. Feed the new cord through and tie one end to the sash and the other end to the weight. The sash cord will stretch, so leave some room under the weight so it won't hit bottom later and keep the window from opening all the way. Move the window up and down to see if you've tied the weight too high or too low. When you're sure everything works, put it back together again.
When you put the stops back, ignore the old nail holes. Tap the nails in a new place, but, to avoid hammer dents, stop before you hit the frame. Finish driving the nails with a nail set. Cover the nail heads and fill in the old holes with wood putty: After several days, when the putty is dry, touch up with paint.
As a building ages, it settles..Structural settling is another cause for windows jamming. If the windows are being twisted out of line, the entire frame must be removed and reset in the wall.
Wood frame windows are often replaced by aluminum ones. Other new frames are vinyl (plastic) over a wood core.
Casement windows open with a crank that needs a yearly greasing. Because these cranks rust, you will have to keep them clean and painted. Casement windows are usually easier to care for.than wooden frame windows.
Most older houses have wooden window frames. However, most new homes have plastic or aluminum frames.
Remove the window only as a last resort. Carefully remove the stops, then pull the nails out through the back of the stop with pliers.
Painting across the moving parts of a window is a major cause of sticking. Running a putty knife between the stop and the sash will help free the window.
Lubricate all moving surfaces on the window and frame with a hard piece of soap or paraffin to help them slide better.
To repair a sash cord, remove the door in the window frame, reach in, and take out the sash weight.
Tie a knot in one end of the sash cord and fit it into the sash groove. Tie a nail to the other end for weight and feed the cord over the pulley. Raise the window and reach into the opening. Pull out the new cord. Tie it to the sash weight.
Clean casement window cranks at least once a year. Grease the track and oil the crank handle and window hinges.


Best Jamaica Transportation Service
Jamaican cuisine the Ital way:
Ital cooking is a type of Jamaican cuisine developed by the Rastafarian faith who believed that natural foods, herbs and vegetables are the way to go. Rastafarians doesn't practice the consumption of meat and foods that are produced by synthetic chemicals.
Today Ital cuisine is well sort after in Jamaica and else where throughout the world. Credit must be given to the Rastafarian elders who created dishes to that fit into their beliefs.
At first Rastafarians was ridicule by locals as many people were ignorant to many healthy lifestyles. However, it came to past when these same people are being thoroughly warned by doctors to eat the healthier.
The revelation is that Rastafarians has introduced healthy recipes into the Jamaican cuisine. The no meat, dairy products and chemically produce foods surely has being adopted by many. Eating lots of raw foods was Rastafarian forte. Now we see conventional nutritionists recommending that 75% of ones complete diet should be raw foods.
Past generations had planted lots of fruit trees in Jamaica that continues to produce. They produce naturally without any fertilizer about from what naturally occurs over the years due to break down of organic materials. While many people don't stop to think about it, but they are having nature's best. These produce are marketed elsewhere as organic and fetch higher prices than normal.
Ital cooking brings another dimension in the Jamaican cuisine which makes it truly interesting. As the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, let your food be your medicine. Ital cuisine is just that.


Beach garden in a pot
Create a coastal feeling anywhere with a miniature sandy scene. Here's our simple step-by-step
Kathleen N. Brenzel
If you yearn for the beach but live miles inland, you can re-create the look easily in a pot.
What you'll need:
 - Low, wide pot or bowl, approximately 14 inches in diameter
 - Potting soil
 - Three small, slow-growing plants in 4-inch nursery pots
 - Horticultural-grade washed sand (a 1-qt. bag is enough for a 14-inch pot)
 - Small pieces of driftwood or other found objects
Step 1: Partially fill bowl with potting soil.
Step 2: Set the plants (still in their nursery containers) atop the soil, adjusting their position as needed until you're happy with the arrangement.
Step 3: Knock the plants out of their pots, gently tease apart any coiled roots, and plant; fill in around them with more potting soil up to within an inch or two of the pot rim. Tamp the soil to firm it; water to thoroughly moisten.
Step 4: Carefully pour a mulch of washed sand atop the soil. Finish with a piece of driftwood or other beachy treasures.
Step 5: Set the pot on a sunny patio (light afternoon shade in hot inland areas). Irrigate once a week or so using a gentle stream of water from the hose or a watering can with a narrow spout.

Six Sigma Key Process Output Variable Overview
Key Process Output Variables are used to measure the effectiveness of projects that are designed to improve business processes.
For example, a project that was undertaken to increase the profit margins on t-shirts by using a cheaper fabric supplier, would evaluate the project's success depending on whether customers continued to buy them, or if sales decreased due to poor customer satisfaction.
The end-goal profit margins, number of sales, and customer complaints are examples of output variables (KPOV), whereas the decision to change suppliers is an example of input variables (KPIV).
This article will look at:
- What Six Sigma KPOVs are
- How to identify them
- The role KPOVs play in DMAIC processes
What are KPOVS
A Key Process Output Variable (KPOV) is an outcome yielded by a process and is defined by Key Process Input Variables (KPIV). Depending on their placement, KPOVs may also become KPIVs for the next stage within a process journey. KPOVs need to measured and tracked to ensure that any Six Sigma led tweaks to KPIVs are generating the right result (i.e. a more positive KPOV).
It is important to remember that KPOVs should be measured before any process improvements are made as this gives a base-line with which to make a comparison.
KPOVs can be summarised as:
- Business processes that produce an output
- Characteristics that have a big impact on efficiency and/or customer satisfaction
- Responsible for lower levels of quality and reliability when allowed to vary too widely
How Are KPOVs Identified?
KPOVs are usually identified by mapping out business processes, usually using the SIPOC (Supplier, Input, Process, Output and Customer) method. By identifying these simple variables, you can develop a richer picture of how your business processes interact. For example:
- Supplier – DIY Store
- Input – Buy wood
- Process –Build fence
- Output – Protects pets from wild animals
- Customer - Pets
Through the use of these Six Sigma modelling techniques, it is possible to build up a picture of the various inputs and outputs of a process. By estimating the importance of each characteristic on a scale of 1-10 - where 1 is unimportant and 10 is critically important – businesses can measure the extent to which input variables have an impact and cause an output variable.
The sum of these weighted scores is used to rank the output variables to determine which deserve the most analytical attention. Processes that are more central to a customer's overall experience of doing business with your company will naturally be seen as mo9re important and so will have the largest number of important KPOVs to address and manage.
Six Sigma training can help your team identify the processes that define the way you do business, monitor and analyse them, and then suggest suitable, business-enhancing improvements. By tracking processes, you'll also work towards defining minimum expectations for your business performance and identify the key areas that can be refined and improved.

KPOVs and Six Sigma DMAIC Process
Six Sigma methodology follows a rigid roadmap for process improvement and problem solving, which focuses on the stages of DMAIC (define-measure-analyse-improve-control). KPOVs are the focus of the entire process, but central to 2 phases.
- Key aspects of the project 'as is' are measured and applicable data is collected
- KPOVs are defined
- Measurement integrity of KPOV's is confirmed
- Measurement plan is developed and a baseline for performance is established
- Cause-and-effect relationships are verified, ensuring that all factors have been considered.
- Root causes of defects are investigated and the relationship between response variables and control variables is established
- Process capabilities for KPOVs is established
- Relationships between KPOVs and control variables are established

JavaScript debugging made easy with source maps
| 4 min. (744 words)
JavaScript debugging with source maps sounds complicated – but it definitely doesn't need to be. Source maps are a useful tool for debugging JavaScript and fixing minified JavaScript code without the hassle of determining where in the original code an error occurred. They provide a way to translate between minified code, designed to decrease webpage load times to the source code the developer writes.
This post gives an overview of setting up and using source mapping in your browser as well as within Raygun.
If you're unfamiliar with source maps it's probably best to see how they work within the browser. You can read about how to generate source maps here.
Source maps are natively supported by both Google Chrome and Firefox as well as IE11, this means that any minified JavaScript files with a source map comment at the bottom will automatically link to its sources so long as the mapping and source files are in the correct locations.
This allows errors to be mapped onto the original source code instead of reporting errors on only the minified script.
For instance if a minified file example.min.js has the following comment at the end of the file:
The browser will load the mapping file in the same directory as the minified file. Any source files specified by mapping file will then be loaded into the Sources window in the browser console.
In addition to showing the source files in the sources window, any errors which happen within the minified file will automatically be mapped into the source files allowing for easy debugging.
Now that you have an idea about how source maps can be used to review code and debug locally, here is an overview of how JavaScript debugging with source maps is easier with Raygun Crash Reporting. Debugging script errors reported from client's browsers becomes a bit faster.
When an error occurs in the JavaScript of a website using Raygun an error report including stacktrace is sent to Raygun.
Contained within the stacktrace are the URLs of the scripts in which the error occurred.
Given these URLs Raygun can download each script file and check for a source map comment. If the comment exists it tries to map the line of the stacktrace onto source code. This is done by downloading the map file specified.
If a map file is available Raygun can then perform the mapping which converts the lines numbers of the stacktrace on the minified code into line numbers on the source files, it also resolves the source files and symbol names.
Given the source file URL we can additional requests for the source files. If we can retrieve these we insert a snippet of the source code into the stacktrace to give more context to the error:
javascript debugging with source maps - a detailed diagram
All of this can be done across the public internet if the files are hosted at the correct URLs and are publicly available.
For many businesses hosting JavaScript files publicly is not in their best interests. For this reason Raygun provides a source map center, this is a private store of JavaScript files to be used in the source mapping process. It allows source mapping to work without hosting anything publicly. JavaScript debugging with source maps makes the whole process much easier, especially when you use a crash and error reporting software like Raygun.
If a file is uploaded into the source map center it will be used instead of requesting a file from the internet. All that is required is that the file be labeled with the URL it would be accessed from if it were to be publicly hosted. In most cases this is easy to figure out. For minified files it's simply the address your minified files are served from. Determining the address of the map and source files may be a bit harder but can be determined by looking at the relative URLs in the generated sourceMappingURL comment in the minified files as well as the sources section of the map files and figuring out the absolute URL based on the address of the hosted minified files.
Hopefully this quick guide to JavaScript debugging with source maps has given an overview of how Raygun can be used to produce powerful error reporting for minified JavaScript code in production environments.

Allelopathic effect of aqueous extracts of different organs of three sunflower cultivars on germination of radish
Keywords:allelopathy, initial growth, Raphanus sativus, Helianthus annuus
This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of different organs of three sunflower cultivars on the germination and initial development of radish. The study was conducted in a Laboratory of Plant Physiology of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. The design was completely randomized in a three-factor scheme with four replications. The first factor consisted of three sunflower cultivars: Olisun 3, Olisun 5, and Aguará 6. The second factor consisted of different organs: leaves, stems, and roots. The third factor consisted of the extracts concentrations: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The experimental unit (EU) used was gearboxes with two sheets of germitest paper that were moistened with the extracts. The EUs were placed in BOD germination chamber at 25 °C. Daily count of germinated seeds was performed. The radicle length and hypocotyl were measured on the 10th day. The variables analyzed included germination (G); germination speed index (GSI); radicle length (RL); and hypocotyl length (HL). Sunflowers have allelopathic potential on the radish. The extract concentration of 75% of all organs and cultivars were sufficient to significantly reduce the variables. The allelopathic activity differs between organs (leaves, stems, and roots) and sunflower cultivars. The amount of allelopathic effects vary in the order of root, stem, and then leaf. Extracts from the roots showed the greatest allelopathic effect on germination and initial development on the radish; however, this depends on the cultivar used. Field studies should be performed to verify such allelopathic activities.

Utilizing measurements on a lanthano-aluminosilicate core optical fiber, the specific effects of lanthana (La2O3) on the Brillouin characteristics of silica-based oxide glass optical fibers are described. Lanthana is an interesting species to investigate since it possesses a wide transparency window covering the common fiber laser and telecom system wavelengths. As might be expected, it is found that the properties of lanthana are very similar to those of ytterbia (Yb2O3), namely, low acoustic velocity, wide Brillouin spectral width, and a negative photoelastic constant, with the latter two properties affording significant reductions to the Brillouin gain coefficient. However, lanthana possesses thermo-acoustic and strain-acoustic coefficients (acoustic velocity versus temperature or strain, TAC and SAC, respectively) with signs that are opposed to those of ytterbia. The lanthanoaluminosilicate (SAL) fiber utilized in this study is Brillouin-athermal (no dependence of the Brillouin frequency on temperature), but not atensic (is dependent upon the strain), which is believed to be, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of such a glass fiber utilizing a compositional engineering approach.

"A carrier pigeon" 22 Leo
This symbol is illuminated 10:43 PM EDT Aug. 13 (2:43 AM GMT, Aug. 14)
Inspiration: Human closeness is not a measure of proximity, therefore, send your love.
Today: Messages are suggested when the carrier pigeon is illuminated. However, there are two core dynamics in messaging: sending and receiving.
Consider that sending a message may be an action that many could improve upon. For example, if a thought, sentiment, or general care belongs with another, then like a carrier pigeon it will find its way home. Imagine tender thoughts from another landing on your shoulder like a well-fed pigeon!
The carrier pigeon says, if it belongs to you, it will return. By the same token, if it belongs to someone else, it is futile and withholding to keep the pigeon caged away from its home.

Gunding was a master carpenter and painter by profession. He belonged to the Philippine Independent Church. He married Fredesvinda Francisco Hernandez on 21 March 1935. The young couple lived with Gudning's parents in 104 C.R. Fuentes Street, Iloilo City at first. The home was where their three eldest children were born.
They migrated from Iloilo City to Manila in 1941, at the advise of Fredesvinda's father who, being affiliated with the government, knew that Manila would be the only open city where supplies and rations would be most accessible. In 1942, Fredesvinda's father, Juan Anderson Hernandez, served as superintendent of the Philippine Constabulary Academy, a training school for policemen. Segundino then worked in the Academy as the chief cook. In his efforts to help the Filipino guerillas, he would keep the armory unlocked for the rebels to loot overnight.
Segundino and Fredesvinda made Mandaluyong City their home. This city was where they raised their family. Fredesvinda was a homemaker and worked as a skilled dressmaker. Despite their humble lifestyle, they raised a closely-knit family and were important influences in the lives of their grandchildren.
A smoker since his teens, Lolo Gunding died of complications from lung disease on 21 April 1992 in Manila City.

In some cases, you need to clear the cookies (or the cache) from a (QML) WebView. In general, the WebView doesn't have persistent storage for cookies after the session ended, that is when you quit the application (a solution to implement persistent cookies is described in QTBUG-16449). However, it can be useful to clear cookies while the application is running, for example if you need to do Facebook authentication in a WebView.
In Qt C++, cookies and the cache are controlled by the QNetworkAccessManager used by the QWebView. This network access manager doesn't have its direct representation in QML; however, it's possible to get a pointer to the instance of the access manager that QML is using to access the Internet. Through this instance, you can then replace the cookie jar of the access manager with a newly constructed (= empty) object, which essentially cleans out all the cookies. If you want to have more control and only delete specific cookies, you would need to provide your own QNetworkCookieJar subclass; but this is not the focus of this article.
To trigger the replacement of the cookie jar from QML, you need to glue it to C++. This can be done in the standard way how to call a C++ method from QML. In short: create a QObject instance, mark the C++ method as Q_INVOKABLE and set your class instance as a context property to the declarative engine. Then, you can directly call your cookie-jar-replacement-method from within QML.
Example Application
The small example app is based on the standard Qt Quick Application wizard template from Qt Creator and demonstrates the whole process:
 - Start the app and wait for the web page to load (by default a 3rd party cookie test page).
 - In the web page, click the "Set Test Cookie" button and wait for the page to reload, listing the cookie as set.
 - Now, click the red banner at the top of the page to clear the cookies and to reload the page.
 - Note that the cookie is gone.
Download the example app: File:WebviewCookies.zip
This class is set up in a way so that it can be triggered from QML, and has a method called clearCookies() that replaces the cookie jar from the network access manager used by the web view with a new and empty one, essentially clearing all cookies. The ownership of the new QNetworkCookieJar is transferred to the QNetworkAccessManager.
Header file:
class NetworkAccessManagerInteractor : public QObject
explicit NetworkAccessManagerInteractor(QDeclarativeEngine *declarativeEngine, QObject *parent = 0);
public slots:
Q_INVOKABLE void clearCookies();
QDeclarativeEngine* m_declarativeEngine;
NetworkAccessManagerInteractor::NetworkAccessManagerInteractor(QDeclarativeEngine *declarativeEngine, QObject *parent) :
void NetworkAccessManagerInteractor::clearCookies()
QNetworkAccessManager * nam = m_declarativeEngine->networkAccessManager();
if (nam) {
QNetworkCookieJar * emptyCookieJar = new QNetworkCookieJar();
// QNetworkAccessManager takes ownership of the cookieJar object.
qDebug() << "Replaced cookie jar";
} else {
qDebug() << "Unable to retrieve Network Access Manager from declarative engine";
Registering the class with the declarative engine
The new class needs to be registered with the declarative engine at application startup, so that the clearCookies() method can be called from the QML environment.
QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
NetworkAccessManagerInteractor* nami = new NetworkAccessManagerInteractor(viewer.engine(), &viewer);
viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("nami", nami);
return app->exec();
Triggering the clear cookies method from QML
The simple QML file contains a webview and a self-made red button; when clicked, it triggers the C++ method to clear the cookies and reloads the page in the webview.

Bombing of Alteria
Alteria Burning
Conflict: Garmillas Civil War
Date: 2199
Place: Alteria
Result: *Garmillas Victory
 - Alteria bombed
Alterian Rebels
Military of the Great Garmillas Empire
Alterian rebles
Hundreds of Imperial Guard ships
Casualties and Losses
 - Most if not all of Alteria's population
 - Planet severely damaged
 - Garmillas Governor
 - Any Garmillans not off planet
The Bombing of Alteria was one of the most destructive acts the Imperial Guard committed during the Garmillas Civil War.
After word of Space Battleship Yamato existance and how a ship from a planet being invaded by the Empire had caused so much trouble for the Imperial Asto Navy, many worlds began revolting against Garmillas and Dessler.
Prior to the Battle of Carell 163. The population of Alteria began a revolt. ("Point of No Return")
The assaultEdit
When the rebellion began many Garmillans were forced to evacuate as the natives began taking their planet back, however many weren't able to escape. The Governor escaped the planet and requested aid. Dessler sent Hydom Gimleh to deal with the rebellion. When the Governor met Gimleh aboard his ship, and after hearing his pleas for aid in defending the remaining Garmillan on the planet he instead ordered the Governor be killed.
The fleet moved in to bombing position as massive missile began raining down on the planet killing the celebrating Alterians. After the bombs explode the Carriers release bombers and fire upon the surface cities while bomber destroyed smaller more remote locations. In a matter of minutes a once blue world was largely burnt. ("Point of No Return")
This event caused a rift in Garmillas leadership between those who thought they were being to brutal and those who didn't. In addition Lord Dessler was apparently killed in an assassination shortly after the planet was bombed. ("Point of No Return")
Many of the surviving Alterians would find themselves in prison camps. These people were presumably released after the new Garmillas government takes power. ("The Planet That We Head For")

The Floating Eye - Exhibition Guide 4A
This is the exhibition guide to The Floating Eye, the Sydney Pavilion for the Inter-City Pavilions Project at the 9th Shanghai Biennale.
Curated by Aaron Seeto, The Floating Eye presented new and existing works from six contemporary Australian artists, Brook Andrew, Shaun Gladwell, Raquel Ormella, Khaled Sabsabi, Shen Shaomin and Bababa International.
Sydney's geography between Asia and the West results in the constant overlaying of different historical and cultural contexts. In presenting the personal accounts generated by individual artists, to mark out the engagements and the discontinuities they experience as they try to negotiate ideas of locality and culture in globalised context, all of the artists in The Floating Eye articulates a specific history of Australia; a feeling of being connected and disconnected simultaneously.
The exhibition encourages an observation of a city's shifting references and influences, how the overlay of time and history and our emotions and sensations of a place, give meaning and form to our shared spaces. As such the contemporary artists in The Floating Eye hold strong connections with Sydney and offer varied perspectives of the city's transforming reality observed though its demographics, environment, history, politics, geography and society.
Together the artists in The Floating Eye presents a framework to illustrate how Sydney, and Australia, considers itself within the region and highlights the layering of histories and diverse social and cultural experiences, which speak to the experience of individuals living in global cities such as Sydney.

JavaScript Interaction between Iframe and Parent
On this page, a document in an iframe uses JavaScript to interact with its parent document. First we show how the document in the iframe can get references to the iframe element containing it and to the containing document and its properties and objects. Then we provide an example below which demonstrates how to access variables and invoke functions in the parent document, and reference and modify its elements.
A document in an iframe can obtain a reference to the iframe element containing it through the frameElement property of the window object. The frameElement property provides access to a variety of other properties, including offsetHeight, parentNode, ownerDocument, and much more. You could use it to access any object or property in the containing document. Here are a few examples:
var ifrm = window.frameElement; // reference to iframe element container
var doc = ifrm.ownerDocument; // reference to container's document
var form = doc.forms[0]; // reference to first form in container document
However, unless you are trying to access specific properties of the iframe element itself, it is simpler to use the parent property to access the containing document. For example, you can reference a form in the containing document as follows:
// reference to first form in parent document
var form = parent.document.forms[0];
// or, using form id instead
var form = parent.document.getElementById('myForm');
The parent keyword can also be used to access global variables or invoke functions in the main document from the document inside the iframe, as the example below demonstrates.
Note: These cross-document interactions are only possible if the documents have the same origin. The postMessage method provides the means of interacting cross-domain.
Demonstrating Access to Parent from Iframe
Click the buttons in the iframe below to interact with the containing document as described. The JavaScript for the example is displayed below the iframe. You can right-click on the iframe to view its document's source code.
JavaScript for the Example
The JavaScript displayed here is included in the iframed document above to perform the tasks demonstrated. Code comments provide some explanation.
// get reference to form to attach button onclick handlers
var form = document.getElementById('iframeDemoForm');
// display offsetHeight of frameElement containing iframed document
form.elements.button1.onclick = function() {
 this.form.elements.display.value = window.frameElement.offsetHeight;
// increment and display counter variable contained in parent document
form.elements['button2'].onclick = function() {
 this.form.elements['display'].value =
 'counter in parent document is:'+ parent.counter;
form.elements.button3.onclick = function() {
 var re = /[^-a-zA-Z!,'?\s]/g; // to filter out unwanted characters
 // get reference to greeting text box in containing document
 var fld = parent.document.forms['demoForm'].elements['greeting'];
 var val = fld.value.replace(re, '');
 // display value in iframed document's text box
 this.form.elements.display.value = 'The greeting is:'+ val;
form.elements.button4.onclick = function() {
 parent.clearGreeting(); // call function in parent document
More examples of cross-document referencing are listed in the upper right.


Segments are essential tools when using Crisp, they can help in a lot of ways. To better understand what they are and how to use this feature, this article is set to give you everything you need.
This guide goes into explaining what is a segment and how it works. Segments are vital if you want to make the most out of Crisp. That's why it is an essential read if you're getting started with our platform.
Coming from Intercom? Segments are known as tags.
What is a segment?
A segment is a way for your business to mark a profile or a conversation. You can assimilate it as a way of tagging a user with a specific behavior. For example, you can tag all your leads with a segment named "lead" to create filters in your inbox, build advanced filters in the contact tab, send them a newsletter using campaign or build an routing rule that will redirect conversations to the sales team.
How to assign a segment?
Segments can be assigned in three different ways. It can be manual, automated or done with a bot scenario. Here is how you can do it, and where.
Assigning a segment manually
A segment can be added manually by typing it inside the dedicated input, as shown below. In the example, you can see three different segments: Email, Ambassador and clothes.
Assigning a segment automatically
Assign a segment using the JS SDK
A dedicated article exists about how to set a segment dynamically using the JS SDK. However, here is a quick reminder:
// Feed this call with your own internal segment.
$crisp.push(["set", "session:segments", [["registered_users", "lead"]]])
Assign a segment using the API
- session segments:
- contact segments:
You'll need to add your segments in the "segments" array in the request body: "segments": ["lead"]
Assign a segment using the bot.
Through the bot you can do multiple actions automatically, such as assigning a segment to a conversation. By using a specific block called "Set Session Segment" which is an action block, you'll assign segments automatically to conversations.
Example of a chatbot scenario having a Set Session Segment
Assign a segment using Mailboxes
Thanks to Crisp, you can handle multiple mailboxes in the same inbox. Using aliases such as or you'll be able to assign a segment to the conversation and route it to the right department or make it a priority task to handle.
How can segment help your team?
Now that you understand what is a segment and how to use it, it's time to focus on some specific use case that can be quite helpful when using Crisp.
To build an email list
Segments are a targeting option inside Campaigns (our customer engagement software). It means that you can retarget users that had to deal with a specific thing such as a downtime, a sales meeting or a bug report for example.
To trigger a zap
Using zapier, we've created a trigger that enables a zap when a segment is assigned to a conversation. This way, you can build a workflow that sends a ticket to Trello or Jira when the segment "bug" is assigned to the conversation for example.
To create a filter in the inbox
Using segments, you can build filters to display specific conversations inside your Inbox. This way, you can choose to display VIP conversations or lead conversations based on your role or your needs.
There are many more ways to take advantage of segments, it's up to you to get started with this key, yet simple, feature.

Integrated service networks: the Quebec case.
|Title||Integrated service networks: the Quebec case.|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2006|
|Journal||Health Serv Manage Res|
|Date Published||2006 Aug|
In the current context of health-care reform, integrated service networks are presented as main solutions to enhance efficiency. During the past few years, there has been an abundance of literature focusing on integration and the underlying implementation issues. However, the concept of integrated service networks remains fluid, and there are few typologies on health-care inter-organizational relations. The Quebec health-care system offers fertile ground for furthering our understanding of this concept because of its public system of funding, its integration of health and social missions, and the present reform's state of development. On the basis of a review of the literature and empirical studies, this article intends to clarify the concept of integrated service networks. A typology of inter-organizational relations and the main parameters for organizing integrated service networks are presented. The article also discusses the effectiveness of integration models.
