Clarice Lispector - Biography
Clarice Lispector (_PHONE_) was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America.
Clarice Lispector was born in Chechelnyk, Podolio, Ukraine on the ninth of December 1920. She was the youngest daughter of a Jewish family. They were targeted during pogroms that happened during the political turmoil of the early twentieth century. Clarice Lispector's older sister Elisa would write about these experiences in her novel No Exilio. After the destruction and instability of Ukraine in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania.
From Romania, the Lispectors would sail to Brazil in 1922. Clarice Lispector's mother had family who lived there. She was still very young when her family relocated to Maceió, Alagoas in the northeast of Brazil. On arriving in their new homeland, the children were to receive new names. Lispector's first name had been Chaya before she was renamed Clarice. Her mother health deteriorated prompting a move to the larger community of Recife, Pernambuco. Lispector's mother, finally, passed away in 1930.
Clarice Lispector was educated at the Colégio Hebreo-Idisch-Brasileiro. The school offered normal educational sources in addition to offering Hebrew and Yiddish language courses. The Ginásio Pernambucano admitted Lispector in 1932. This institution was the most academically respected in the region. In 1933, Clarice Lispector encountered Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. This novel convinced Clarice Lispector that she was meant to write.
In 1935, the remainder of Clarice Lispector's immediate family moved to Rio de Janeiro. Her father hoped that by moving to the capital he would have more business opportunities. She would enter the Law School of the University of Brazil in 1937. During this period of education, Lispector would publish pieces of journalism for Agência Nacional and A Noite. She also wrote short fiction. Her first piece of short fiction,"Triunfo", was published by the journal Pan in 1940. This same year, Clarice Lispector's father would die from complications from a medical procedure.
Clarice Lispector published her Perto do Coração Selvagem in 1943 when she was the tender age of twenty-three. This novel recounts the inner life of Joana. The style of this book was very innovative. The next year she was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. Her examination of the internal lives of her characters was reminiscent of the style of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
In 1944, Clarice Lispector married Maury Gurgel Valente, a young Brazillian diplomat. To complete the legal obligations for the marriage, Clarice Lispector was required to become nationalized. Valente moved the couple to Belem in northern Brazil. He worked with foreign nationals who were using Brazil as a base of operations for the military actions of World War II.
In 1944, the couple traveled to Naples, Italy for Valente's work. He was stationed at the Brazilian Consulate. This city was the center of operations for the Brazilian soldiers who were fighting against the Nazis. For the next fifteen years, Clarice Lispector traveled throughout the United States and America. While in Italy, Lispector became acquainted with Giuseppe Ungaretti. The Italian poet would translate excerpts of her first novel. Giorgio de Chirico painted her portrait. But perhaps her most significant action was that she finished the O Lustre.
In 1946, Clarice Lispector and her husband would move to Bern, Switzerland after a short trip to Brazil. Clarice Lispector found life in Switzerland suffocatingly boring. Over the course of their residence in Switzerland, her boredom deteriorated into depression. Despite her melancholy, Clarice Lispector was able to compose her third novel A cidade sitiada. In 1948, Clarice Lispector gave birth to Pedro Gurgel Valente.
In A cidade sitiada or The Besieged City Clarice Lispector recounts the story of Lucrécia Neves as her life relates to the growth of São Geraldo. Lispector utilizes metaphors of sight as a unifying trope. In contrast to her normal glowing reviews, her third novel was unloved.
In 1949, Clarice Lispector and her family returned to Brazil. They lived in Rio de Janeiro for a year before moving to Torquay, Devon. Her husband was appointed a delegate to the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade. The family remained in England for most of 1951. However while in London, Clarice Lispector had a miscarriage, prompting a return to Brazil.
Clarice Lispector's Alguns contos was published in 1952 when she had returned to Rio de Janeiro. The Ministry of Education and Health was the organ through which this slim bolume was published. She would later use much of this material for her novel Laços de família published 1961. Lispector began to write for a newspaper Comício. For this newspaper she wrote under the name Teresa Quadros.
During the fall of 1952, Clarice Lispector and her family relocated once again. This time the family moved to the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. The family would remain in this city for seven years. During this time she became an intimate friend with Erico Verissimo, another Brazillian writer. The Rio de Janeiro journal Senhor published many of Lispector's pieces of short fiction during this period.
Life as a diplomat's wife made Clarice Lispector miserable. The years away from her family made her feel increasingly lonely. In 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil. She wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. as well as Family Ties (or Laços de família).
After returning to Brazil, Clarice Lispector faced economic hardships. She strove to get a publisher interested in Family Ties. The book incorporated much of the short fiction that Clarice Lispector had written before 1960. Many view this work as one of the quintessential Brazilian short fiction.
A paixão segundo G.H or The Passion According to G.H. has become one of the most famous books of Clarice Lispector's career. The book is viewed by many to represent her finest and most groundbreaking work. In this work, Clarice Lispector recounts the story of a wealthy woman who has a transcendental experience after confronting a cockroach.
In 1966, Clarice Lispector was injured. She had taken a pill to help her sleep. When she passed out, Lispector was still holding a lit cigarette. The burn was so severe that doctors considered complete amputation of her hand. For the next eleven years, Clarice Lispector wrote despite her pain.
In 1967, Clarice Lispector released O Mistério do coelho pensante translated into English as The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit. This was her first attempt at writing a book for children. She also returned to writing newspapers columns. This time she wrote for Jornal do Brasil. Many of these publications were gathered into a collection after her death called A Descoberta do mundo or The Discovery of the World.
The following year, Clarice Lispector took part in the protests against the military rule of Brazil. She continued writing both fiction and pieces of journalism. She started conducting interviews for the magazine Manchete. In the years that followed, she began to paint. She also translated the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde.
The First World Congress of Sorcery in Bogota invited Clarice Lispector to attend in 1975. A translation of her story "The Egg and the Hen" was read at the convention. This story was chosen for its mixture of occult and spiritual elements.
In 1977, Clarice Lispector published A Hora da estrela or The Hour of the Star. This novel examines poverty and power relationships in Brazil. This was also the year that Clarice Lispector succumbed to ovarian cancer.

Study Suggests Women More Likely To Have Nightmares
New research suggests women experience significantly more nightmares than men and have more emotional dreams.
There was no difference in the overall number of dreams reported, said researcher Dr. Jennifer Parker of the University of the West of England.
Previous research has shown women tend to have more disturbed sleep than men.
Changes in a woman's body temperature during her monthly cycle have been linked to such sleep disturbances.
"It has been known for a long time that pre-menstrual women report more vivid and disturbing dreams," said Dr. Parker, a lecturer in psychology.
"The consistent finding in this research was that women report more unpleasant dreams than men."
The women who took part in the study were much more likely to report dreaming about very emotionally traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one.
"In terms of processing emotional information, women may be more prone to taking unresolved concerns into their sleep life." Parker added.
"The research showed a gender difference but what is difficult to pick out is whether women are having more nightmares or remembering them better," said Dr. Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.
He said the results fit in with what's in the literature, as women's sleep tends to be more disrupted and they have more insomnia.
"And more frequent wakening could cause them to pick up on the dream.
"But it could be that disturbed sleep is contributing to the fears."
Nightmares in everyone were probably more common than people realized as they are quickly forgotten about, he added.

Shorter school year
In Tennessee, Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman approved all of the requests from 42 of the state's 136 school districts this year to shorten their school calendars because of natural disasters. The waivers varied from one to seven days and in Southeast Tennessee included:
- Bradley County, seven days
- Cleveland City Schools, two days
- Hamilton County, two days
- Sequatchie County, two days
- Rhea County, two days
- Bledsoe County, two days
- Grundy County, one day
In Georgia, the Department of Education allows school districts to use four emergency days for school closings below the 180-day state minimum for the year. Additionally, six school districts were granted waivers to operate fewer than 176 days, including:
- Catoosa County, four days
- Walker County, three days
- Dade County, four days
Sources: Tennessee Department of Education, Georgia Department of Education
Meeting the standard
In Hamilton County, the school system met the state's overall requirement for 180 days of annual instruction with fewer days by extending the school day, counting partial days and getting a state waiver from minimum standards:
- Thirteen days were credited below the 180-day minimum by adding 30 minutes to the school day, expanding the typical school day to seven hours from the state minimum of 6.5 hours.
- Two additional days lost because of bad weather were waived from the state standard by the Tennessee Department of Education after the school board requested the waiver because of tornado damage in April.
- Two days were counted as instructional days when students registered for classes on Aug. 4, 2010, and when students picked up report cards on May 24. There was no actual classroom instruction on either day.
- Four days were scheduled half-days for parent-teacher conferences and for professional development days.
- Four or more days were shortened by delayed openings or early dismissals because of bad weather, tornado cleanup, school building problems or special events at individual schools. The state allows school districts to count any day as an instructional day when the school is open at least 3.5 hours.

Tennessee public schools may need to lengthen their school year in the future to help students from the Volunteer State compete in a global market where most students study longer each year, Gov. Bill Haslam said.
But meanwhile, Haslam said more than a third of the state's school systems hard hit by snowstorms, flooding or tornadoes were granted waivers from minimum calendar requirements in the past year.
"Due to the storms this year and due to the budget, I think it was going to be hard to go back and force the folks there [to meet the state standard]," Haslam said in a recent interview as the school year ended across Tennessee. "I think you're looking at a unique situation this year with all of the storms and the flooding."
Many districts in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia had at least a week less of school in the past year than they did a year ago.
In Hamilton County, for instance, most schools operated complete seven-hour instructional days only 155 days in the school year that ended May 24 — nine days less than the previous year.
Schools in Hamilton County were open 165 days in the past year, but that included two weeks of days cut short for teacher-parent conferences, professional development, registration and report card pickups and weather-related delays or early dismissals.
Haslam said schools need to be going in the other direction to keep pace with some foreign countries that require as many as 50 more days of classroom instruction a year.
"If you look at the success of education in other countries or in charter school environments, a lot of it is tied to just going to school longer," Haslam said. "I know a lot of kids and some parents may not want to hear that, but if we're going to compete we can't be playing half a schedule."
Shorter calendar in U.S.
According to the National Center on Time & Learning, a Boston research group that advocates a longer school year, China, Japan, Korea and a half-dozen other countries have minimum school years longer than 200 days a year. The United States average school year ranked 39th among the world's 49 biggest countries and in the past year many Tennessee and Georgia schools had shorter school calendars than the U.S. average of just under 180 days.
Haslam said he hopes to look at Tennessee's education system over the summer, though he said changing the calendar and the way teachers are paid is "changing the very fabric of education, and we won't do any such changes lightly."
In a recent meeting with editors at The Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, state Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman said the state should consider adding more time to the school calendar, although his department has no specific recommendations as yet.
"We have a calendar in Tennessee not based on the modern world," he said.
States OK shorter schedule
Nonetheless, Huffman's office granted 42 waivers to school districts this year to allow the school systems to complete their school year without meeting the state standard for 180 days of instruction averaging 6.5 hours a day.
In Georgia, the state allows individual school districts to decide to drop four days below the state's 180-day school calendar for emergency reasons. A half-dozen school districts, including Catoosa, Walker and Dade, still had to get additional waivers to cut their school years even shorter after storms damaged schools in their districts.
In Hamilton County, the school system met state standards by operating most days for an extra 30 minutes beyond the state minimum school day of 6.5 hours. That allowed the school system to make up 13 days lost for bad weather this year. When repeated snowstorms and tornadoes ripped through the region in the past year, the state granted a waiver to allow the school system to give up another two days from its calendar rather than make up the lost school days.
"It would be very difficult and create a lot of confusion to add more time on at the end of the school year after many students have already graduated," said Danielle Clark, director of communications for Hamilton County Schools.
Hamilton County school administrators say they complied with the state guidelines and only asked for a waiver after students missed two days because of the April 27 tornadoes.
"The power was out and conditions just weren't good enough to report to class," said Kirk Kelly, Hamilton County Schools' director of accountability and testing.
The school board view
Hamilton County school board Chairman Jeffrey Wilson said the lost days from this year's storms couldn't be avoided. But over time, Wilson said Tennessee schools need to look at longer school calendars to stay competitive with foreign schools.
"I think we need to find a way to make the school year longer, but there are a lot of challenges and I don't know how we as a community will get there in the near future," he said.
Citing China's 12-hour, year-round school days, Hamilton County school board member Linda Mosley said U.S. schools must look at their schedules as a means to stay competitive.
"We know that the more time [students] spend away from school, the more they forget," Mosley said. "A longer schedule is something that would take a lot of planning and debate and community buy-in, but it would benefit our students."
Starting in 2004, Hamilton County attempted a year-round schedule at Hardy Elementary School. The seven-year experiment ended this year after school officials said parents and teachers lost enthusiasm.
Mosley said that if Hamilton County tries such a plan again, it needs to be a widespread effort.
"I think if we were to do it, we should spread it over a whole district," said Mosley, adding that such an effort would take years of planning and gradual implementation.
But with the typical American student in class less than half the year, Jennifer Davis, president of the National Center on Time & Learning, said U.S. schools need to lengthen their school year.
"Our current school schedule is based on the 19th-century agrarian calendar of 180, six-hour days, which does not offer the time necessary to prepare children for today's competitive world," she said.
As the state looks to reshape education, all options should be on the table, Haslam said.
"I think what we have to do with education is to take a whole, fresh new look at everything, from how long students go to school to how do we compensate teachers to make sure that we are rewarding them," he said.
"We spent a lot of time in this session talking about teacher tenure and collective bargaining. But the next piece that we need to discuss if we are really going to have a great education system is how do we attract and keep the very best people in education."

Export Contents
Suppose, you are editing a PSD file created in Photoshop and need to edit a smart object it contains. Since the "Edit Smart Object" command can't do this, you will need a workaround.
 1. Select the smart object in the Layers panel.
 2. In the Effects panel, double-click the "Export Contents" thumbnail.
 3. In the "Save" dialog that opens, choose a destination folder, file name (let it be "sample.psd") and click "Save".
 So, you have saved the smart object's contents as a separate PSD file.
 4. Now open the exported file "sample.psd" (File > Open), edit it as needed and save the file (File > Save).
 5. Choose the initial document, the "sample.psd" has been exported from.
 6. Make sure that the smart object is selected in the Layers palette and apply the "Replace Contents" effect.
 7. In the "Place" dialog that appears, browse to the "sample.psd" file and click "Place".
 Thus we have replaced the original smart object with a modified copy.

text: To address the sparsity and cold start problem of collaborative filtering, researchers usually make use of side information, such as social networks or item attributes, to improve recommendation performance. This paper considers the knowledge graph as the source of side information. To address the limitations of existing embedding-based and path-based methods for knowledge-graph-aware recommendation, we propose RippleNet, an end-to-end framework that naturally incorporates the knowledge graph into recommender systems. Similar to actual ripples propagating on the water, RippleNet stimulates the propagation of user preferences over the set of knowledge entities by automatically and iteratively extending a user's potential interests along links in the knowledge graph. The multiple "ripples" activated by a user's historically clicked items are thus superposed to form the preference distribution of the user with respect to a candidate item, which could be used for predicting the final clicking probability. Through extensive experiments on real-world datasets, we demonstrate that RippleNet achieves substantial gains in a variety of scenarios, including movie, book and news recommendation, over several state-of-the-art baselines.

text: DID stands for Direct Inward Dialing. This is a special service that most local phone companies can supply.They install a special telephone line that they call a DID "Trunk" (that's phone talk for a wire that carries phone signals). Then they assign a block of telephone numbers to that "Trunk". Now, when someone calls any one of those numbers, the DID trunk "rings" (well not really, but I want to keep this simple for a while). At the same time, the phone company passes the last four digits of the number that the caller dialed along the trunk. The VBX 400 DID card figures out what number was passed, answers the call and immediately moves the caller to the tree object in the answering application that matches the 4 digit number. OK, OK that's still not clear! Now let's try it again. For example, the phone company might assign the 100 phone numbers from _PHONE_ to _PHONE_ to the DID trunk. You build a voice mail application that contains 100 mailboxes, numbered 5200 to 5299 and schedule that application to run on the new line. Now, someone calls _PHONE_. When the DID trunk rings, the caller is immediately moved to mailbox 5240, without stopping at the System Greeting or Initial Prompt. Box 5240 might say something like "Thank you for calling Acme Brick Company. Please leave us a message." Thus, a mailbox appears to answer the phone. Now if the next call was dialed as _PHONE_, then mailbox 5210 would answer the call. Therefore, to reach each mailbox, the callers must dial a different phone number for each box in the application.How does that make you money? You can now give each of your voice mail customers a private phone number to reach their mailbox. Your customers can forward their own phone to their private DID number. When someone calls that customer's phone, your system answers as if were at the customers location and answers with the customers own greeting instead of a menu. You could even offer more than a simple mailbox. If the object were a Prompt, you could offer sub-mailboxes and if the object were a Control Point, you could chain to any application and offer any type of service that you could imagine. Actually, any of your inbound type applications can use the DID lines if you have designed them to have the correct object ID's. How do you get started? First, you need to do some research and some math. The VBX 400 DID card is only available as a 4 line card and costs about the same as a regular 4 line card. Now call your phone company and ask them if they can install DID trunks at your location. Tell them you need "Wink Start with 4 DTMF digits" (Don't you just love this phone talk!) They will tell you how much it costs. Expect to pay about $75 per month or so for each trunk line and then from 25 to 40 cents per month for each phone number assigned to the trunks. You will likely be asked to pay an installation charge of around $200. These are my best guesses, your phone company may charge more or less. Since a trunk can only carry one conversation at a time (just like an ordinary line), you may need to consider 2 or more trunks. If so, the trunks are usually configured as a "Hunt Group" so that you can run the same application an all trunk lines and have multiple calls handled at the same time. Then talk to your voice mail customers and prospects and find out if they would like this type of service (you can charge more too). Now get out your sharpest pencil and figure out if you can increase your business enough to cover the costs of all this new stuff and make a profit. If the numbers work, then call Customer Service and order the "DID Option". Is that all there is to it? Not quite. DID lines are special. The "premises equipment" (that's phone talk for your computer) must supply power to the DID trunks. You will also need an external power supply as part of the DID setup. Since the whole thing works by manipulating voltages from this power supply, you must plan on leaving the power supply and computer on for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You should also connect the computer and power supply to a UPS (battery backup). The phone company will disable your DID trunks if power is removed from the line for any extended period of time and they may charge you to reactivate the service, so this is important.In addition, the DID option does not support outbound calls, only inbound calls. Therefore, these lines will not support "Call Transfer". However, the manual will tell you how to set up message forwarding for voice mail boxes, using one of your regular lines.The DID option is not an instant solution to a problem It is a tool that has the POTENTIAL to increase your income if you market these new services wisely. It does, however, level the playing field for you and give you a competitive edge. You would probably be able to offer more features in your voice mail and audio text services than even your own phone company or other providers in your area and command a premium price for those services.

Your choice of methods and level of intensity for pretesting should depend on the project and your available resources. For example, you may want to show printed materials to members of the target audience and get their feedback. This can be done informally with individual conversations, or more formally with focus groups.
Another form of pretesting is to pilot your program. This means you put the program into place with a small portion of the audience to see how it is received. If you pilot your program or any part of it, monitor feedback and reactions to make sure the program is performing as intended. Don't be afraid to make any necessary changes. Monitoring and evaluation are discussed further in phase 5.


How to execute multiple commands through a text file with a Domino server
Technote (FAQ)
Is it possible to execute scripts or a list of commands through a text file on a Domino server?
You can create a text file that lists the commands you would like to execute on the Domino server. The commands which you can include can be anything that can be typed at the server's console. To load the script you must use the < command (less-than symbol), followed by a blank space, and then the name of the text file you created. For example, if you need to execute these commands:
you can create a file called F:\MYFILE.TXT, and within this text file, enter the commands that are to be executed. After you save the.TXT file, enter the following at the Domino server console:
If there is more than one command in the.TXT file, they will be executed in the order in which they appear in the.TXT file.
All commands in the.TXT file could be encapsulated with
start consolelog
in the first line and in the last line
stop consolelog
to write the output into the console.log file.
Note: "stop consolelog" will close any logging launched manually or by CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1 in notes.ini.
These type of batch files are not supported by Lotus.

Ada Salter
Pioneer of Ethical Socialism
ISBN: 9781910448014 Categories:,
Format: Paperback
Publication date: January 1, 2016
Page extent: 289
116 in stock
This rich history tells the life story of Ada Salter, who, in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, had pioneering roles in local politics as well as in feminist and ethical socialist movements. Graham Taylor here shifts the focus, usually on Ada's husband Alfred, to Ada's remarkable work, and her significant impact on Bermondsey and on national politics.
Both in the 'Bermondsey revolution' and nationally, Ada Salter was a pioneer of ethical socialism. Yet her role in the socialist politics of the early twentieth century has for a long time been neglected. This book, based on extensive original research, for the first time tells the story of this remarkable woman, and documents her significance for the history of both socialism and feminism.
Salter was responsible for most of the ideas behind the Bermondsey Revolution, drawing on her experiences in the women's movement and as President of the Women's Labour League. Her groundbreaking ideas on urban development then spread all over London through her work as an LCC councillor, and all over Britain through her role as Chair of the National Gardens Guild.
The book shows how Salter's experiences as a 'Sister of the People' in the London slums eventually led her to the Independent Labour Party, and to the belief that achieving democracy and social justice in Britain required a grassroots alliance between the labour and women's movements. Other women in the ILP had similar ideas, but it was only Ada Salter who actually took political power, implemented her 'utopian' ideas, and won elections by huge majorities.
Ideas of ethical socialism have recently returned to contemporary politics, adding to Ada Salter's importance as a figure of topical historical interest. Her story is thus one that deeply resonates with contemporary political concerns.

Title: Functional Decision Theory in an Evolutionary Environment
Authors: Noah Topper
Abstract: Functional decision theory (FDT) is a fairly new mode of decision theory and a normative viewpoint on how an agent should maximize expected utility. The current standard in decision theory and computer science is causal decision theory (CDT), largely seen as superior to the main alternative evidential decision theory (EDT). These theories prescribe three distinct methods for maximizing utility. We explore how FDT differs from CDT and EDT, and what implications it has on the behavior of FDT agents and humans. It has been shown in previous research how FDT can outperform CDT and EDT. We additionally show FDT performing well on more classical game theory problems and argue for its extension to human problems to show that its potential for superiority is robust. We also make FDT more concrete by displaying it in an evolutionary environment, competing directly against other theories.

Solid-state nanopore channels with DNA selectivity
Date of this VersionApril 2007
Nature Nanotechnology Vol. 2 April 2007
This document has been peer-reviewed.
Solid-state nanopores have emerged as possible candidates for next-generation DNA sequencing devices. In such a device, the DNA sequence would be determined by measuring how the forces on the DNA molecules, and also the ion currents through the nanopore, change as the molecules pass through the nanopore. Unlike their biological counterparts, solid-state nanopores have the advantage that they can withstand a wide range of analyte solutions and environments. Here we report solid-state nanopore channels that are selective towards single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Nanopores functionalized with a 'probe' of hair-pin loop DNA can, under an applied electrical field, selectively transport short lengths of 'target' ssDNA that are complementary to the probe. Even a single base mismatch between the probe and the target results in longer translocation pulses and a significantly reduced number of translocation events. Our single-molecule measurements allow us to measure separately the molecular flux and the pulse duration, providing a tool to gain fundamental insight into the channel – molecule interactions. The results can be explained in the conceptual framework of diffusive molecular transport with particle – channel interactions.

Joseph Rogers Underwood (October 24, 1791 - August 23, 1876) was a United States Representative and Senator from Kentucky.
Joseph Underwood was born in Goochland County, Virginia, the brother of Warner Lewis Underwood. He moved to Barren County, Kentucky in 1803 and lived with his uncle. He attended the common schools and graduated from Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky in 1811. He studied law in Lexington, but his studies were interrupted by the War of 1812, in which he served as a Lieutenant in the Thirteenth Regiment of the Kentucky Infantry. He was admitted to the bar in 1813 and commenced the practice of law in Glasgow, Kentucky.
Underwood served as town trustee and county auditor until 1823. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1816 to 1819. He moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1823, and again was a member of the State House of Representatives from 1825 to 1826. He ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Kentucky in 1828, and served as a judge of the Court of Appeals from 1828 until 1835.
Underwood was elected as a Whig to the United States House of Representatives, serving Kentucky's District 3 from March 4, 1835 until March 3, 1843. There he was chairman of the U.S. House Committee on the District of Columbia. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1843, and resumed the practice of law. He was a presidential elector on the Whig ticket in 1844, and again joined the State House in 1846, where he served as speaker.
Underwood was next elected as a Whig to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1847 to March 3, 1853, when he did not run for reelection. He was elected to the State House yet again, serving from 1861 to 1863. He died near Bowling Green and was interred in Fairview Cemetery. Joseph Underwood was the grandfather of Oscar Wilder Underwood.

The Berlin Zoo is celebrating the first birth of Rusty-Spotted Cats in its 168-year history. Rusty-Spotted Cats are the world's smallest wild cats, weighing only 2.0 to 3.5 lb (0.9 to 1.6 kg) as adults.
The two kittens were born on August 5, and have only recently begun to leave their den to explore their exhibit. Playful, clumsy, and a little awkward, the two female youngsters are a delight to zoo guests. At birth, kittens typically weigh just 2.0-2.7 ounces (60-77 g).
Native only to Sri Lanka and India, these diminuitive cats are classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and the conversion of wild lands to farms. Rusty-Spotted Cats prefer dense forests and grasslands, emerging at night to hunt for rodents, birds, and lizards.
Little is known about these secretive cats, and few zoos display this species, making these two kitttens especially important for the captive population.

 Replication and Rsync in Distributed Environments Overview
 IP/MPLSView includes third-party replication and remote synchronization (rsync) software packages that you can use to back up information for IP/MPLSView data and traffic collection. The replication and rsync utilities are designed to maintain backup servers with up-to-date versions of the files and the database of the primary servers they are backing up, and to replicate data in the event of a failure so the backup server can resume operation.
 The third-party rsync package backs up files from the primary application server to the backup application server and the Mongo database (MongoDB) and MariaDB replication packages keep the backup databases synchronized with the primary database. To synchronize the data, the replication and rsync software compares the data in the backup and primary databases and sends deltas in order to reduce overall data transfer.
 You can use the replication and rsync utilities to back up data in either of the following ways:
 You must install a separate license on the backup IP/MPLSView application server.
 Use the following utilities to administer the distributed servers:
 -—Sets up all IP addresses for all distributed servers.
 -—Stops all distributed servers.
 -—Checks the running status for all distributed servers.

If your home was built before 1975, you probably have cast iron drains. The high quality cast iron pipes are sanitary approved and are still in use today. However, imported steel arrived in the United States about 50 years ago.
In most cases, cast-iron sewer pipes in households should last 75-100 years. In commercial applications, the service life of cast iron hydraulic pipes is 3050 years.
Since all cast iron sewer pipes need to be replaced, it is highly recommended to replace cast iron pipes under a concrete slab, not to repair them.
Clay is one of the oldest pipe materials in the world and is still used in some places. In the United States, the material was chosen between 1880 and 1900. Like bricks and tiles, clay pipes are heavy and difficult to transport, so many cities had their own clay pipes.
Potential Dangers of Cast Iron Pipes
When cast iron exhaust pipes fail, it is usually due to internal corrosion. Hydrogen sulfide gas can form as a result of passing through drains. This can oxidize and produce sulfuric acid, which corrodes the cast iron. Your pipes are probably original and therefore as old as the year your house was built.
The original problem: Corroded cast iron pipes
- Shut off the water supply to the hose.
- Clean the repair area by removing the rust with a wire brush and dusting off the dirt with a clean rag.
- Fill the leak with a cast iron repair compound applied with a putty knife.
- Let the area dry before draining any water or waste through the hose.
Cost of replacing cast iron hydraulic pipes. Tubing replacement can cost anywhere from $ 200 to $ 15,000. This range depends on the size of the project, the materials used and the amount of work required. Some jobs require a lot of wall or floor sawing, which can significantly increase your working hours.
50 to 60 years
In addition to simply replacing the battery for prevention, there are more immediate signs that a battery needs to be replaced. First, if the pile has stones, i.e., crusty rust spots, this can be a sign that the pile is starting to rot and become brittle from the inside out.
It is still widely used in public sewer systems. In modern installations, the pipes are lined with clay to protect them from root penetration and landslide damage. You might be surprised to learn that some working clay pipe systems were installed in America more than 100 years ago.

About Cast Iron Pipes
Glazed Clay Tubes (VCPs) are tubes made from a mixture of clay and slate that have been subjected to high temperatures to create vitrification, creating a hard, inert ceramic.
How to find a sound sewer pipe
If there are cast iron pipes in the piping system, do the following to check if they need to be replaced.

Question: Can An Eagle Kill A Bear?
What animal can eat a bear?
Most other animals have more to fear.
Scavengers in numbers are also a threat..
Can an eagle pick up a human?
"There used to be stories about eagles carrying off babies and little kids, and none of that has ever been documented," he said. "They can pick up and carry four or five pounds, maximum, and actually fly off with it. They can lift a little more and hop it along, but they can't carry it off."
Who would win eagle or wolf?
Golden eagles can kill mammals bigger and heavier than wolves by a powerful strike directed at the back of the skull, a trained eagle would in fact be able to kill even an adult wolf if it approached quickly enough and struck the wolf, from behind, in the right place.
What is toxic to bears?
Theobromine can, at high doses, be toxic to bears and other species. Its effects have been studied and documented in dogs, cats, rodents and humans, but its impact on bears and other wildlife species is largely unknown, according to Fish and Game.
Can a hawk pick up a 20 pound dog?
Large raptors, such as Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, can attack and kill small pets. We have received dozens of inquiries about dogs and cats weighing anywhere from 6 to 60 pounds. … A large female Cooper's Hawk can weigh just over one pound; thus the most it could pick up would be a one pound animal.
Can an owl pick up a 20 pound dog?
Great horned owls, northern goshawks, and red-tailed hawks are three of the most common birds-of-prey to lash at small dogs and cats, typically those under 20 pounds. … Oftentimes the answer is as simple as knowing if your yard is also viewed by a hawk or owl as its own home.
Will a bear attack a human?
Generally, bears only attack humans to protect their food, cubs, or space so fighting back against a grizzly bear will typically only worsen an attack whereas playing dead may help the bear believe you are no longer a threat. "To effectively play dead, you should wait until the bear has actually touched you.
Can an Eagle kill a wolf?
Can an eagle crush a human skull?
Males weigh an average of 10 pounds while females clock in closer to 20 pounds. Their rear talons are 3 to 4 inches long – the same length as a grizzly bear's claws. They have a grip strength of appproximately 530 psi – more than enough to crush the human skull & squash your brain like a grape.
Do bears eat humans?
Bears. … Truly man-eating bear attacks are uncommon, but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading them to attack and eat anything they are able to kill. In July 2008, dozens of starving brown bears killed two geologists working at a salmon hatchery in Kamchatka.
Can I shoot a bear if it attacks me?
Bears wounded with an arrow, knife, or firearm may intensify the attack, and killing a bear charging at full speed is difficult at best. If you shoot a bear in self-defense, leave the scene as soon as it is safe, and report the incident to Fish, Wildlife & Parks immediately. … If attacked, use your bear spray.
How big of an animal can an eagle kill?
However, attacks on animals that weigh more than 30 to 40 pounds (14 to 18 kg) are uncommon. Where golden eagles prey on domestic animals, they usually take lambs and kids, but some become persistent predators of domestic livestock as large as 500 pounds (227 kg).

What animal can kill an eagle?
What food kills bears?
The worst offenses are caused by unprocessed chocolate, baker's chocolate and dark chocolate. Unprocessed chocolate and other chocolates used in commercial baking and manufacturing have large amounts of theobromine, but is not palatable because it's very bitter. The bears simply won't eat it.
Do eagles eat cats?
Yes Eagles do eat cats, albeit infrequently. Although eagles are meat eaters they are also carrion eaters. Their preferred dish is fish, followed by other birds and wildfowl.
Why do bears bury their kill?
It is clear from these data that the bears are more likely to bury whole carcasses of animals rather than their remains left after other predators. A brown bear may cover its prey after he had already started to eat it (Matyushkin, 1974), or after burying the carcass, may wait for some time without eating it.


rdesktop(1) rdesktop(1)
 rdesktop - Remote Desktop Protocol client
 rdesktop [options] server[:port]
 rdesktop is a client for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), used in a number of Microsoft products including Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows
 2000 Server, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server.
 -u
 Username for authentication on the server.
 -d
 Domain for authentication.
 -s
 Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application
 instead of Explorer.
 -c
 The initial working directory for the user. Often used in combination with -s to set up a fixed login environment.
 -p
 The password to authenticate with. Note that this may have no
 effect if "Always prompt for password" is enabled on the server.
 WARNING: if you specify a password on the command line it may be
 visible to other users when they use tools like ps. Use -p - to
 make rdesktop request a password at startup (from standard
 -n
 Client hostname. Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the
 hostname of the client.
 -k
 Keyboard layout to emulate. This requires a corresponding
 keymap file to be installed. The standard keymaps provided with
 rdesktop follow the RFC1766 naming scheme: a language code followed by a country code if necessary - e.g. en-us, en-gb, de,
 fr, sv, etc. The default is en-us (a US keyboard).
 -g
 Desktop geometry (WxH). If geometry is the special word
 "workarea", the geometry will be fetched from the extended window manager hints property _NET_WORKAREA, from the root window.
 The geometry can also be specified as a percentage of the whole
 screen, e.g. "-g 80%".
 -f Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and
 causes the rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen.
 Fullscreen mode can be toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Enter.
 -b Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than
 using higher-level drawing operations.
 -B Use the BackingStore of the Xserver instead of the integrated
 one in rdesktop.
 -e Disable encryption. This option is only needed (and will only
 work) if you have a French version of NT TSE.
 -E Disable encryption from client to server. This sends an
 encrypted login packet, but everything after this is unencrypted
 (including interactive logins).
 -m Do not send mouse motion events. This saves bandwidth, although
 some Windows applications may rely on receiving mouse motion.
 -C Use private colourmap. This will improve colour accuracy on an
 8-bit display, but rdesktop will appear in false colour when not
 -D Hide window manager decorations, by using MWM hints.
 -K Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus.
 -S
 Enable single application mode. This option can be used when
 running a single, maximized application (via -s). When the minimize button of the windows application is pressed, the rdesktop
 window is minimized instead of the remote application. The maximize/restore button is disabled. For this to work, you must
 specify the correct button size, in pixels. The special word
 "standard" means 18 pixels.
 -T
 Sets the window title.
 -N Enable numlock syncronization between the Xserver and the remote
 RDP session. This is useful with applications that looks at the
 numlock state, but might cause problems with some Xservers like
 -X
 Embed rdesktop-window in another window. The windowid is
 expected to be decimal.
 -a
 Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24).
 More than 8 bpp are only supported when connecting to Windows XP
 (up to 16 bpp) or newer. Note that the colour depth may also be
 limited by the server configuration.
 -z Enable compression of the RDP datastream. This currently only
 works for a colour depth of 8bpp.
 -x
 Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By
 default only theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to
 b[roadband] enables menu animations and full window dragging.
 Setting experience to l[an] will also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem] disables all (including
 themes). Experience can also be a hexidecimal number containing
 the flags.
 -P Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching).
 This generally improves performance (especially on low bandwidth
 connections) and reduces network traffic at the cost of slightly
 longer startup and some disk space. (10MB for 8-bit colour,
 20MB for 15/16-bit colour and 30MB for 24-bit colour sessions)
 -r
 Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
 that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
 Following devices are currently supported:
 -r comport:=,...
 Redirects serial devices on your client to the server. Note that
 if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s), do
 so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
 OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires
 Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but
 it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with it.
 -r disk:=,...
 Redirects a path to the share \\tsclient\ on the
 server (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited
 to 8 characters.
 -r lptport:=,...
 Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows
 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell
 programs will not work with it.
 -r printer:[=],...
 Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The
 is the name of the queue in your local system.
 defaults to a simple PS-driver unless you specify one.
 Keep in mind that you need a 100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first printer on the command
 line will be set as your default printer.
 -r sound:[local|off|remote]
 Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote"
 only has any effect when you connect to the console with the -0
 option. (Requires Windows XP or newer).
 -0 Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server
 2003 or newer).
 -4 Use RDP version 4.
 -5 Use RDP version 5 (default).

Assessing pupil size - Sounds simple, but...
 1. 0
 I have worked at two equally well recognized teaching hospitals in an ICU setting. Most everything is the same, but I've noticed a difference in how pupil size is assessed.
 Hosp#1 - Assess size of pupil as it reacts to pen light so as to eliminate variation in room lighting.
 Hosp#2 - Assess size of pupil upon initial inspection, regardless of room lighting, etc. (and before using pen light).
 I do look at the pt's pupils initially, but I make my measurement based on the size to which they constrict.
 So I am wondering - how does everyone else do it?

 Your assessment should include both. For example if pupils are constricted or dilated without stimulation - and - do they constrict with stimulation - and - are they equal/unequal in both situations.
 4. 2
 I check the pupils without the pen light, say they are a 4, they constrict to a 3 with the pen light, so I will say pupils reactive 4->3
 ktliz and netglow like this.

 I assess the size of them in regular lighting, how fast they react to my pen light is the ERRL part.
 6. 0
 In response to the above replies:
 But how do you standardize on "regular lighting"? Day vs night, different light switches (we have about 8 lighting options in each room - it's ridiculous), if pt's eyes were open or closed prior to exam?
 That's what I'm getting at. If we report the size upon initial inspection that can be incredibly variable based on external factors. Do your units have a standard set for this? I know mine doesn't and the results are all over the place.
 I don't have any issues with the reactivity and regularity... it's just a specific question of timing that pupil size is measured.
 7. 0
 You adopt a relative know that completely dilated pupils in any light is know if one pupil is larger than the other that's not know what size pupils should be based on what meds the patient is receiving. There's no hard and fast rule.
 8. 4
 I think you're making it out to be a bit harder than it really is.
 netglow, Esme12, Altra, and 1 other like this.
 9. 0
 It should be based on what size they are without a bright light being shined right in them. Yes, it can be a little variable.
 10. 0
 You are over thinking the issue. If you are checking the pupils at 0800 the "norm" is that it is daylight. YOu look at the pupils in ambient light comparing size and shape. Are the irregular in size? are they unequal? Do they both react equally and at the same time to light?(accommodation). Pupillary response changes can be, and usually is, a late sign of increasing intracranial pressure and there should be other more subtle signs of increasing pressure such as confusion and lethargy or agitation. The checking of pupils is obtaining a baseline and reporting changes.

Splendid Symbols : Textiles and Traditions in Indonesia
Washington D.C.: The Textile Museum, 1979
During the 1970s and early 1980s, interest in Southeast Asian textiles "took off,"
according to Michael Howard (see Textiles of Southeast Asia below). A number of
important books on Indonesian textiles were also published. This particular book became the standard reference work for collectors at the time. Several chapters are devoted to exploring the role of textiles in the social customs and religion of Indonesia, followed by individual chapters discussing the general characteristics of textiles in 14 geographic areas: Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, Solor and Lembata, Timor, Roti, Savu and Ndao, Southern Moluccas, Kisar and Tanimbar, Ceram, Sulawesi, Sangir and Talaud, and Borneo. This book was originally published to document a comprehensive exhibition of Indonesian textiles from the holdings of The Textile Museum and private collections. The quality of the photographs (largely black and white) is far superior in more recent publications.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
I'm writing an application which must log information pretty frequently, say, twice in a second. I wish to save the information to an sqlite database, however I don't mind to commit changes to the disk once every ten minutes.
Executing my queries when using a file-database takes to long, and makes the computer lag.
An optional solution is to use an in-memory database (it will fit, no worries), and synchronize it to the disk from time to time,
Is it possible? Is there a better way to achieve that (can you tell sqlite to commit to disk only after X queries?).
Can I solve this with Qt's SQL wrapper?

Let's assume you have an on-disk database called 'disk_logs' with a table called 'events'. You could attach an in-memory database to your existing database:
ATTACH DATABASE ':memory:' AS mem_logs;
Create a table in that database (which would be entirely in-memory) to receive the incoming log events:
CREATE TABLE mem_logs.events(a, b, c);
Then transfer the data from the in-memory table to the on-disk table during application downtime:
INSERT INTO disk_logs.events SELECT * FROM mem_logs.events;
And then delete the contents of the existing in-memory table. Repeat.
This is pretty complicated though... If your records span multiple tables and are linked together with foreign keys, it might be a pain to keep these in sync as you copy from an in-memory tables to on-disk tables.
Before attempting something (uncomfortably over-engineered) like this, I'd also suggest trying to make SQLite go as fast as possible. SQLite should be able to easily handly > 50K record inserts per second. A few log entries twice a second should not cause significant slowdown.
share|improve this answer
If you're executing each insert within it's own transaction - that could be a significant contributor to the slow-downs you're seeing. Perhaps you could:
 - Count the number of records inserted so far
 - Begin a transaction
 - Insert your record
 - Increment count
 - Commit/end transaction when N records have been inserted
 - Repeat
The downside is that if the system crashes during that period you risk loosing the un-committed records (but if you were willing to use an in-memory database, than it sounds like you're OK with that risk).
share|improve this answer
A brief search of the SQLite documentation turned up nothing useful (it wasn't likely and I didn't expect it).
Why not use a background thread that wakes up every 10 minutes, copies all of the log rows from the in-memory database to the external database (and deletes them from the in-memory database). When your program is ready to end, wake up the background thread one last time to save the last logs, then close all of the connections.
share|improve this answer
Because then I need to create the logs, remember which part of the log I already saved, maintain the background thread, and largely speaking implement synchronization myself. That's possible, but I want to avoid that. – Elazar Leibovich Jun 22 '10 at 20:31
Let me know how you eventually solve this. – Craig Trader Jun 24 '10 at 1:05

Advanced Rudder Stroke Techniques
The cross bow rudder strokes are similar to the bow rudder strokes. Yet, there is a slight difference. The bow passenger performs this act on the opposite side in which he normally paddles the kayak. The cross bow rudder stroke unlike the bow rudder stroke does not give you the time to switch hands. During this action you must rotate or swivel your body. While in position prepare to swivel your body around toward the opposite direction, and then cross the bow.
At the same time you want to scoop the blade downward toward the water. To avoid ensnaring your hand between the gunwale and blade, make sure you bring the lower hand up, and place it on the shank (shaft) a few inches. Keep the paddle gripped near the armpit (left) and make sure the paddle's blade dips into the water at a 40 degree angle.
Tip: You can use the sweep strokes at a 90-degree angle and reach the same affect you would get from the cross bow rudder method. Sweep strokes are commonly used by kayakers and canoeists to turn the boat slightly without interrupted the direction.
How sweep strokes work? You have choice. The first choice is to push over the bow. The second choice is to drive the kayak forward. The third method is to pull the stern toward the paddle.
How do other types of kayaking strokes work? Well, it depends on the stroke in which many are employed in kayaking. For instance, the stern rudder stroke is similar to the bow rudder strokes. The bow rudder is the process where the bow passenger uses his paddles to steer the boat in the course which he is paddling the kayak. The stern stroke is often utilized when the stern passenger cannot use the J-stroke method to redirect his kayak. Sometimes the direction the kayak is headed needs readjustment, thus the kayaker will employ the stern stroke to redirect the boat. Unlike the bow rudder stroke the person paddling the kayak will reverse his sweep and take a 120-degree angled turn rather than a 40-degree turn.
Tip: If you need to make an immediate turn while kayaking the bow rudder strokes is ideal, yet a draw stroke would be more beneficial if you spotted a obstacle in the waters that could cause damage. The bow rudder strokes will slow the kayak.
Kayaks are sport canoes, which are often lightweight and made of fiberglass. The boats are utilized in whitewater rafting, leisure, and often in competitive sports. The older models were made of animal skin, which *Inuit boats held one or two passengers, which both would use double-blade paddles to control the kayak. Sometimes people use kayaks to travel or race.
Facts: *Inuit is Artic people, or people from Greenland. The members of these lands lived in coastal areas of the Artic, Greenland, and Canada. The languages of Inuit descendants constituted languages of three branches. The branches included the Eskimo Aleut family.
Canoeing has dated back for centuries, which the kayak is a form of canoe. Today, people are enjoying whitewater kayaking, traveling, cruising, and more. In fact, the Internet has posted many sites that offer vacations that include whitewater kayaking. Kayaks are far more dangerous than canoes, since kayaks have closed seating arrangements, which you are often strapped in with knee and thigh straps. If you capsize (flip) the kayak, you had better learn steps to take to save your life.


Certain (long) street names / intersection names are not recognized by the program.
Table of Contents
A very long street name exists in the database, but diagrams for locations on that street can not be generated, and sometimes the street itself is missing from high accident location lists.
In almost all routines, Intersection Magic strips leading and trailing spaces from street names. As a result, a street name is not valid if it contains leading or trailing spaces. This is a problem in the situation when a very long street name is added to the database. If the 29th character ( the maximum length of a street name) is a space, it will be added to the database with the space. From then on this street will not be accessed properly.

Why I wrote historical play 'Afonja' - Playwright, Sakky Jojo
Saka Aliyu PhD, (Sakky Jojo), published his first play Afonja in the year 2018. He had published a Prose earlier (Altine) in 2003 and he is into Poetry as well. We took him up with questions relating to his current work –Afonja- a historical play. First his biography, his goal of writing, the controversy surrounding the dramatic narrative of the play, the canons and the unique approach to them and the attention Afonja received in terms of performance and its use as a pedagogical drama text in tertiary institutions. Enjoy the interview:
UJ: Can we know who the playwright is?
SJ: My name is Saka Aliyu, as I like to be simply referred to. Sakky Jojo is the pen name I have been using since my undergraduate days at Usman Dan Fodiyo University, Sokoto. I grew up in Ilorin where I was born and thereafter in Sokoto. I trained as a historian, with a terminal degree from Leiden University. I worked briefly in Benin, then Kaduna before joining Bayero University in 2008 as a lecturer.
UJ: What is the goal of writing Afonja?
SJ: There were some goals of writing that play. One, it is history of my hometown and which I feel very much connected to. The story is a good recipe for playwriting, particularly the tragedy that it is. Secondly, I felt that being a controversial story, I need to bring out the story in proper perspective. I feel by doing so, I am doing some peace building. For when a story is given in its proper perspective, it will help dissipate controversies for those who care to know the truth. Two, the history of Ilorin with the rest of the Yoruba speaking nation can be controversial because of the contexts in which they occurred and interests and the misunderstanding that comes out of that. Personally I don't like controversies, for in the end it reeks of ignorance and half-truths. But then controversies are part of the gears that moves the world.
Dr. Saka Aliyu
UJ: Your canons of the play in particular, use of 'context' instead of 'Act' is unique, can you share light on this?
SJ: Variety, they say, is the spice of life. I was being innovative stylistically there. I was used to the 'acts' and 'scenes' myself. Then I noticed some playwrights using 'movements' and I was intrigued. I thought what a way not be cliché. So when I started writing Afonja, in the final round, I decided why not use something different and I thought 'context' is most apt. All scenes are contexts. It is just style and my little contribution to the lexicon of drama.
UJ: Some people believe that the Afonja story is controversial, what can you say to that?
SJ: It is indeed and one of the aims of writing the play is to chip at the edges of these controversies through story telling in historical perspectives. As someone whose history and identity is connected to that story, I felt the need to put the story in their proper contexts for clearer understanding. What you read in the media are often 'history in a hurry.' These are often sensationalized. The stories are deeper and more connected and complicated than can be easily grasped on the surface. At the heart of this controversy is Yoruba irredenta that from time to time tugs at the cloak of Ilorin as a politico-cultural entity. For me, as I said earlier, this play is also a peace building effort, hoping it will bring more understanding and less controversy.
UJ: How do you feel as a historian reconstructing history through literature?
SJ: It is a double honour for me. I found myself connected to two things, history and literature, both using story-telling as means of expression and finding expression in each other. While history attempts to reconstruct the past, especially the past of man as far as memory in its various forms can afford, literature tries to reflect the life of man as much as its mirrors can reflect. Unlike history, literature has leeways. It can twist in ways history cannot do. Literature can afford to be magical. Literature can augment history, which is what I have done in the play.
UJ: In your attempt at writing drama, why "historical Play" is it that you feel more comfortable as a historian?
SJ: Apart from the patriotic instinct, it just happened to be the first play that came to my mind. I think I am comfortable with other forms of drama. I have written satires, comedies and adaptations too. Afonja just happened to be my first full length play. I don't know if I will do other historical plays but for now, I think I have made my contribution in this area.
UJ: Afonja has received attention and has been performed in places as far as Ilorin, Ibadan, Gusau, Kano and several other places. Why the popularity?
SJ: I think the play was particularly propitious. It has done well beyond my expectation given that I did very little in terms of publicity. It was first staged in Ibadan by students of God's Blessing Comprehensive High School, Yemetu, whose teacher bought a copy. They were most splendid and ambitious. Unfortunately I could not attend the performance due to my busy schedule. A friend represented me and he was most impressed as well. I feel I owe the school a great deal for the honour done to me. I had sent some copies to Ibadan for sale and it was from those copies that one was bought and used to stage the play.
Then students of the Department of Performing Arts, University of Ilorin, also staged it and it was used in one of their courses. That, I owe to Professor Rasheed Adeoye who happened to be my mentor and technical guide in my first attempt at playwriting. It was studied at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and Federal College of Education, Zaria and in my own university, Bayero University, Kano, where we now have a growing Theatre and Performing Arts Department as well as in the Department of English and Literary Studies. It is out of print now and I hope to reprint as soon as I can afford to.
My only regret is that it has not been critically engaged as much I would love to see. Perhaps, that is because I have not written the play as a controversy to favor or discredit one side against the other. Humans generally love controversy and one of my aims is to show that the controversies around the subject matter are largely out of context. With all modesty, you will need to be widely read to critically engage with the play. What I brought to bear on the play is the whole of my lived experience. It had taken me 18 years to finally finish the play and get it published and it was fifteen years since I published any work.
UJ: Can we say Afonja is an instance of Art in the service of history?
SJ: Yes, very much so and vice versa!
UJ: Is Afonja as reflected in your book a tragic hero and what manner of tragedy is explored in the play?
SJ: Afonja is indeed a tragic hero, in the Hegelian sense as I have written in the preface.
UJ: You talk of 'poetic license' in the preface to the play Afonja which you noted has been given wings throughout the play can you expatiate that further for the readers to get a clear picture.
SJ: Poetic license is the stuff of literature. It is the opportunity you have to spice up a story, to exaggerate or underplay, twist or even change storyline even for a historical story. It is the embellishments that make any story interesting. It is like the embroidery of literature that adds colour and beauty to the basic elements in the story. Since even for the historical events being reconstructed we do not have the minute details, we use imagination; say to put words, actions and even attires on the characters in believable ways. You will see stories within story, proverbs, and cultural norms in the play. I particularly used parameology (proverbs), made allusions to Yoruba medicinal practice, coded communications, incantatory and initiatic practice, Islamic jurisprudence and the multiculturalism that has been part of the Ilorin milieu since the era in which the play was set. You will see the play spiced up with four languages apart from English in which it is written.
UJ: What was it like writing the play?
SJ: I enjoyed writing the play, though it had taken me longer than it should. But that has its blessings. In the years it was in limbo I had gotten two additional degrees and thus sharpened my intellect and worldview. I started in 2001, then an unemployed graduate. Then I had to get my masters, did some social work, got employed as civil servant, then as an academic and then getting a terminal degree. Finally I decided I just have to break the jinx of not having a work published in almost two decades. That was the push that did it. I thought it a shame being called a writer and not having a major work out in one and half decade. We've got only so much time in this world.
UJ: How do you combine your writing with being an academic?
SJ: When I sent a copy to a friend at Oxford, who is also an academic, she had

Using a Bayesian model to jointly estimate the flaw size distribution and the pod functionCenter for Nondestructive Evaluation Conference Papers, Posters and Presentations
Document TypeConference Proceeding
ConferenceReview of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
AbstractIn this paper we extend previous work by the authors to jointly estimate the flaw size distribution and the POD function from simulated field inspection data. Similar to our previous work, we assume that when a crack is above a detection threshold, both the signal amplitude and the flaw size are recorded. For a signal that is above the noise floor, but below the detection threshold, only the amplitude is recorded. At all other locations we know only that the signal is below the noise floor, i.e. left censored. Now our model allows different airplanes to have different crack growth rates, and the distribution of crack growth rates is to be estimated from the data. To estimate the parameters of the model, we use a Bayesian formulation that provides a convenient structure for estimating the plane‐to‐plane differences. The Bayesian formulation also allows the use of prior information based on knowledge of physics or previous experience with similar inspection situations. For example, there may be useful information about crack growth rates and about the slope in the amplitude and crack size relationship. Use of such information can importantly improve estimation precision.

Exhumation of both buried and cremated remains usually requires a Home Office licence. Exhumations occur for a number of reasons, including:
- movement from the original grave to a subsequently acquired family plot in the same or another cemetery
- repatriation overseas to be buried along with other family
- transfer from one cemetery scheduled for development to another
- court orders requiring further forensic examination.
It is an offence to exhume any human remains without firstly obtaining the necessary lawful permissions. Funeral directors can help in obtaining these:
- a licence must be obtained from the Home Office
- if the person is buried in consecrated ground, permission from the church must also be obtained
- an environmental health officer must be present
Decency and safety
An environmental health officer must be present at the exhumation and supervise the proceedings to ensure that respect for the deceased person is maintained and that public health is protected.
If the conditions of the licence cannot be met, or there are public health or decency concerns, the exhumation may not proceed.

At restaurants with multiple locations, it is common that one user may need to make changes to another user's Permissions, Basic Information, and Jobs and Wages at another location.
This article will cover the requirements for a user to make changes to Employee Information, Jobs and Wages, or User Permissions to:
1) their own account at another location
2) another user's account at another location
Permissions Hierarchy -
Multi-location restaurants must have at least one "super user" at the corporate level that has access to all Toast permissions. This access is granted by a Toast employee. The "super user" should then choose a minimum of one manager user at each individual location that also has access to all permissions.
However, the permissions granted to the manager user at the individual locations are still to the super user's discretion. For example, the super user may not want a manager user to have access to certain Admin Permissions such as Financial Accounts or Franchisee Fees.
In order to make changes to a specific permission for another user, the user making the change must also have access to that permission.
To make changes to a specific permission for a user at another location, the user making the change must have the same permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's permission needs to be changed.
- Example: A user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A but not at Location B.
- This user will only have the ability to grant other users access to the Void Items / Orders permission at Location A.
- If a user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A, Location B, and Location C, then the user can grant the Void Items / Orders permissions to another user at all three locations.
Employee Information - The ability to edit a user's basic information (including contact information, password, and passcode) is based off of the Employee Info permission.
In order for a user to make changes to their own employee information OR to another user's employee information, the user making the changes must have the Employee Info permission granted to them.
To make changes to a user's employee information at another location, the user making the change must have the Employee Info permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's employee information needs to be changed.
Jobs and Wages - The ability to add or remove job roles from an employee is based off of the Employee Jobs & Wages permission and also on the permissions within the job role.
Requirements to add or remove a job role from a user at another location:
- The user adding/removing editing the job role must have all of the permissions that are required of the job role.
- Example: In order for User A to assign the Key Employee role to User B at User B's location, User A must have access to all of the permissions that are required within that job role.

A Meta-Analysis of the Shortand Long-Term Results of Randomized Controlled Trials That Compared Laparoscopy-Assisted and Conventional Open Surgery for Colorectal Cancer
1. Department of Surgery, Osaka City Sumiyoshi Hospital
2. Department of Surgery, Osaka City General Hospital
3. Department of Surgical Oncology, Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine
Purpose: We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate and compare the shortand long-term results of laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCRS) and conventional open surgery (OCRS) for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: We searched relevant papers published between January 1990 and May 2011. We analyzed the outcomes of each type of surgery over the shortand long-term periods.
Results: In the short-term period, we found no significant differences in overall perioperative complications and anastomotic leakage between LCRS and OCRS groups. We found no significant differences in overall, distant, local and wound-site recurrence, overall mortality, 3 and 5 year disease-free survival rate, and cancer-related mortality between the 2 groups.
Conclusions: LCRS has the benefits of reducing intraoperative blood loss, earlier resumption of oral intake, and shorter duration of hospital stay in the short-term. The long-term outcomes of LCRS seem to be similar to those of OCRS.

Interesting paper, especially the results.
We study the economic effects of religious practices in the context of the observance of Ramadan fasting, one of the central tenets of Islam. To establish causality, we exploit variation in the length of daily fasting due to the interaction between the rotating Islamic calendar and a country's latitude. We report two key, quantitatively meaningful results: (i) longer Ramadan fasting has a negative effect on output growth in Muslim countries, and (ii) it increases subjective well-being among Muslims. We find evidence that these patterns are consistent with a standard club good explanation for the emergence of costly religious practices: increased strictness of fasting screens out the less committed members, while the more committed respond with an increase in their relative levels of participation. Together, our results underscore that religious practices can affect individual behavior and beliefs in ways that have negative implications for economic performance, but that nevertheless increase subjective well-being among followers.

The Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center came about as the result of efforts started in the early 1960's to consider the need for a national program of human nutrition research. Such a need was addressed by Senator Milton Young of North Dakota in a 1963 report he submitted to the U.S. Congress. That report, prepared by the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, outlined the need for an expanded national research program in human nutrition and proposed to establish three regional research laboratories each near a medical school: one each in the North Central, Southeast and Southwest United States.
The Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center was the only laboratory established under the original concept of that report; it was established as a field station of the Vitamins and Minerals Laboratory of the ARS Human Nutrition Division in Beltsville, MD. Planning for the Grand Forks facility began in 1966; the actual construction began in 1969 on land provided by the State of North Dakota. The building, located immediately adjacent to University of North Dakota campus, was completed in September, 1970. Modest by today's standards, the original building consisted of five research laboratories and an austere 8-bed metabolic ward. The facility was dedicated with a scientific symposium entitled "Newer Trace Elements in Nutrition."
In 1972, the Grand Forks facility was designated a Human Nutrition Research Laboratory of the ARS North Central Region. In 1976, the laboratory's capabilities were expanded beyond research with experimental animals with the inauguration of an active clinical nutrition research program. In 1977, the laboratory was designated the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center.
