The OCAS Workshop
The real challenge for Semantic Web technologies and ontologies lays in the adoption; although the need for this disruptive technology is clear, it has not yet been fully adopted by the mainstream. Ontologies: where, what for, how, when and why? Ontologies are being used in several applications, but is ontology engineering a mature discipline? Not only are we interested in practical realizations of the Semantic Web, but also in visions of technology that illustrate how SW technology and ontologies could change our experience of the Web.
Questions addressed by OCAS2011:
• How are SW technologies and ontologies being adopted by mainstream?
• Experience reports of the introduction of SW technologies and ontologies in corporate and government environments
• Once introduced in an environment, how do SW and ontology-based applications evolve?
• Ontologies in manufacturing and production chains
• Ontologies supporting CAD interoperability and feature extraction; towards smart CAD environments
• How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded in scientific documents and in general-interest media publications?
• What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a document?
• How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in scholarly communication, and of hypotheses and scientific evidence?
• What does a network of truly interconnected documents look like? How could interoperability across documents
be enabled?
• Are decision support systems in the biomedical domain using ontologies? How?
• How are biomedical ontologies logically formalizing the rich set of lexical definitions gathered? How are these
ontologies going beyond controlled vocabularies?
• Practical cases of successful and unsuccessful application of ontologies and SW technologies in application domains such as: financial, biomedical, e-business, engineering, law enforcement, document management, egovernment, legislative systems.

Reaching the top of my shaft, I called down to UOPETA and THEROS, and waited for a reply. There was only silence for a few moments, and I was going to call out once more, until I saw THEROS emerge from his shaft.
I explained to him what I found, and he looked at me quizzically for a few moments. UOPETA hadn't replied, nor had he joined us at the top, so I decided to go and find him instead. We headed down his shaft, and continued going, past the pool of water he had blocked off, and further down still. As we drew closer, the sounds of a pickaxe striking stone became audible, and grew louder as we went further and further down. Eventually, we were deep enough to be able to see UOPETA working at the bottom, and I called out again. This time, UOPETA stopped working, and turned to face me. He seemed a little confused to see both me and THEROS standing a few steps above him, looking slightly confused ourselves! Setting down the pickaxe, he turned back towards us.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this...? What's wrong now? What have you found?"
"Syeonyx has found something a little... Odd... He doesn't want to explain any more than that..."
The full effect of what I saw can only be explained by seeing it for themselves, rather than me standing there trying to describe what I saw. After a few moments of further talking, I convinced UOPETA to follow me up the stairs to my shaft, and we set off back up the stairs. A few minutes later, we were descending the stairs of my shaft, reaching the deviation in my path due to the chamber.
"I see you went to the side, rather than straight through...? Probably for the best. There could be evidence still in that chamber, and disturbing it would be a bad idea... I don't know, maybe we'll eventually find those missing pages that AMPHIS went on about..."
We continued down the remainder of my shaft, to the point where I had to stop due to the structure of the chamber beneath. Even UOPETA looked surprised as we cautiously made our way down, avoiding the steep drop into the lava flow. We reached the base, and I led them around to the left, where I had found the chamber. We stopped at the entrance to the large, open area, and UOPETA whistled slowly.
"There's a lot of iron here! Excellent find! Is this what you came to show me?"
Erm... No, not quite... Continuing across the chamber to the other side, UOPETA and THEROS followed me. The confusion on UOPETA's face had returned, and THEROS seemed to share the same feelings. I stepped to one side and allowed them to look past to where the wooden wall stood in our way. UOPETA and THEROS stood there staring for some time, in total silence, emulating my exact feelings and thoughts when I first saw the wooden wall... After some time, UOPETA managed to speak, but only a little, obviously still in shock.
"Erm... Okay... Right... What now...?"
That was a good question... No sounds could be heard from within inside the wooden shelter, but it didn't mean that no-one was there. I cautiously approached the small wooden door set into the wall, and peered through the slats at the top. Inside, I saw a bed on the far wall, with every other wall covered by bookshelves, full to overflowing point with books of all colours and sizes! UOPETA took a peek after me, and then THEROS. Afterwards, UOPETA pushed on the door to test if it was locked, finding that it swung open freely, and without so much of a creak!Stepping through, we followed him into the wooden shelter, careful to close the door behind us.
"Erm... Any guesses on what this is...?"
A resounding silence... Walking over to one of the shelves, I began to scan the books stacked along at eye level, realising after ten or so that most of these were hand written. Taking one off the shelf, I opened it at the start, and was instantly met with the strange symbols that belonged to the pig-pen cipher. I showed this to UOPETA and THEROS, and they instantly made the connection as well.
"Interesting... We could have found something quite useful here then..."
Putting the book back on the shelf, and picking up another, I checked the first page again, and once more, I was met with more symbols... I couldn't even begin to guess what these books were based on, even if they were only translated into Latin!
UOPETA and myself turned to face THEROS, who was crouched in the corner of the room near a tale and chair, looking at something on the wall.
THEROS stood up, and moved away from the wall, revealing a lever embedded into the side of one of the shelves... A lever...? Was this another shelter that contained secret passages and chambers? Intrigued, I moved over to it, and flicked it down. Nothing happened... There was no sounds, nothing moved... It was just for decoration it seemed... I flicked it again, and was suddenly drawn to a scraping sound behind me!
The screeching, scraping noises came from the wooden walls sliding back into place. Flicking the lever once more, I watched as the descending wall segment slide back into the ceiling and floor, exposing the full passage beyond... Convinced this place was a mockup of what I found beneath Jonas' house, I inquired as to whether any of the Lone 7 had operated in the area before.
"I doubt it... SERVERE acted as the long range scout, but it wouldn't make any sense for him to be posted here... We would have known about it if he had been..."
"What do you think is down there...?"
Well, judging from the construction of it, it wasn't a room... A passage that seemed to bend around to the right, but nothing from what we could see suggested about the destination. Only one way to find out... Stepping forward towards the passage, I stepped into it, going further, tentatively. We had no weapons with us, and no way to defend ourselves - taking the blowpipe with us to the cliff mine seemed a little redundant - so it was understandable that I was being cautious. Reaching the end of the passage, I turned to the right, and followed the passage around, finding a set of wooden stairs leading down... With UOPETA and THEROS right behind me, I left a little safer. At least nothing was going to creep up behind me, but that didn't stop anything attacking me from the front... Moving down the stairs, it wasn't long until we saw the end of the passage... It ended, rather abruptly, in a partially destroyed stone wall... Was that it...? Now what?

ST. JOHN COUNTY, Florida. A Florida man was arrested after allegedly pulling off a bus stop and then calling emergency services to wipe him down, WTLV reported.
19-year-old Nicholas Jones is accused of reckless driving, misuse of the emergency services and violation of probation.
On May 5, on South Woodlawn Street, when the car pulled out of the parking lot, the MP tried to move into a white Hyundai.
About an hour later, the 911 dispatcher called from the St. John County Sheriff's Office.
"I want to know – I like running away from a cop 30 minutes to an hour ago," the caller said, according to an emergency call received by WTLV. "I was that guy from the Kings Estates. Like, what are we paying you guys for? Like, I drove past four cops.
The dispatcher asked in confusion: "What does it mean that you ran away from the cop?"
"I mean, he turned on the light on me and stood behind me, and when he came to my door, I covered him with a donut and left," the caller said.
The dispatcher asks if the caller asks for a meeting with the officer and what exactly the caller asks.
The caller said, "I have a question, I'm guessing he posted an APB that someone is looking for my car, so he definitely got a license plate, but I went through like four cops just driving down the street. Like, what are you guys doing? "
The dispatcher told the caller that law enforcement was working on a number of calls. The MPs used the call to trace the phone back to Nicholas Jones. Jones was wanted for an unrelated crime.
The next day, the deputies found a car with the same tags in front of a clothing store, as WTLV learned from the arrest report.
Jones was arrested and told MPs that, from his point of view, "this policeman had no right to stop me. I saw him turn on the lights and sirens and was about to stop, but I didn't want to. "
When Jones realized that it was his call that made the officers find him, he said, "That's funny. So I said to myself? No police officer can catch me in my Hyundai Elantra, it's fast, "WTLV reports.

Jonah Goldberg: Republicans may come to regret…

Jonah Goldberg: Republicans may come to regret their silence on Trump
I don't usually dispense relationship advice in this column. But the adage about marriage is often true of politics: What is not said is more destructive than what is said.
For example, over the last 18 months the president has said and done a number of things that warranted dissent from Republicans — not just from party leaders, but from rank-and-file legislators, pundits and other commentators. But the dogs did not bark, opting to stay silent.
We need not take up too much space quibbling over specifics. All one need do is play the "What if Obama said this?" game to see that the moral arc of the GOP has bent toward President Trump.
Then, a few weeks ago, the president proposed sweeping steel and aluminum tariffs and heaped praise on the benefits of trade wars. Suddenly, Congress and much of the conservative commentariat rose up in protest.
Trump's top economic advisor, Gary Cohn, who reportedly almost resigned last summer over the president's morally equivocating response to a neo-Nazi rally, apparently found tariffs a nobler hill to die on.
As a free-trader, I welcome this response. But just imagine you're a run-of-the-mill Democratic congressional candidate looking to unseat a Republican who never spoke up about Trump's "shithole countries" remark, the unfolding drama over Stormy Daniels, Trump's endorsement of Roy Moore, his attacks on the First Amendment or his flirtation with cutting off aid to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico because of a spat with the mayor of San Juan.
How easy it would be to say: "My opponent never objected to these things, but when Trump tried to save manufacturing jobs, he leapt to his feet to protest at the bidding of the same fat-cat free-traders and globalist big businesses that outsourced so many of your jobs. My opponent is OK with the president endorsing and campaigning for an accused child molester, but he will fight to the death to keep cheap Chinese steel from pouring into this country."
Yes, it's a dumb economic argument — steel tariffs would cost more American manufacturing jobs than they'd save — but it's a great political one.
This is just one illustration of the Republican dilemma. The president divides the right while he unifies the left. Praise Trump on his controversial statements and you risk alienating suburban Republicans, particularly women. Criticize Trump and you risk not only his wrath, but also the wrath of the portion of his base that demands rhetorical fealty to Trump in all things. Because this constituency has disproportionate influence in conservative media and GOP primaries, the safest course of action is often silence, or some clever dodge like, "I don't respond to tweets."
The GOP has created a kind of collective-action problem for itself. By making these individual decisions out of self-interest in the moment, the party as a whole ends up getting pulled in a direction not of its own choosing.
Voters don't judge parties on their lists of principles, but on their real-world priorities. Not objecting to something sends as clear a signal as objecting does. It's fun to listen to Republicans vent off the record, but most Americans don't get to hear any of that. They do hear the silence, however.
And so does Trump. Over the weekend, the president floated a fairly obvious trial balloon, tweeting, "The Mueller probe should never have been started," and calling it, in all caps, a "WITCH HUNT!"
It's not shocking that the president would want to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, but he has never attacked him directly before. The usual suspects cheered on Trump, while most of the party was silent.
One of the few exceptions was Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said firing Mueller would be the "beginning of the end of his presidency." House Speaker Paul Ryan offered a lackluster response through a spokesperson: "Mr. Mueller and his team should be able to do their job." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said … nothing.
Off the record, Republicans often say they're afraid Trump responds to being told not to do something by doing it out of spite. That's a real concern. But it's not an excuse.
If Trump does fire Mueller and a constitutional crisis ensues, the previously silent, suddenly angry Republicans will be asked why they're speaking up now. That is, if they speak up at all.

"Who looks at me from behind doesn't know who I am" / Ron Gilad, Cassina IXC.
The main installation is made up of 11 scenes that feature the Deadline mirror collection by Ron Gilad.
11 short stories that combine the traditional and the contemporary. Few elements (a mirror, a light or a piece of furniture) are united with a fragment "stolen" from Japanese culture: a Sumo wrestler, a Kokashi doll, modern Haiku, Tatami or even a Pokémon become part of the installation, interacting physically or conceptually, to create ironic, sometimes surreal, scenarios.
The mirrors, situated at different angles, enable both the viewer and the space to take part in the 'story'; they reflect the spectators' existence and create an ever-changing experience and a feeling of movement.
The "pied-à-terre", located in the VIP room on the first floor, is a frozen moment of urban life showcasing Cassina's masterpieces in a setting one could almost move into and spend the rest of their life.
The "window installation", located on the first floor and facing the crowded streets of Aoyama, is an invitation to the streetwalkers to stop to view the installation and smile.

Youtube vlogger Wil Dasovich uploaded his most important vlog ever because he has a big announcement to make. He is a traveler, nature enthusiast, and a former Pinoy Big Brother Housemate.
On his 11 minute video, he narrated how he traveled the Southeast Asia from the States after his graduation and hpw he finally settled in the Philippines.
He featured the different places Moreover the breathtaking scenes he went to tell the world how he enjoys life.
He had the struggle of lost when he doesn't know what work shall he invest in taking into consideration that aside from earning from that work, he will enjoy and be passionate of what he will do.
"When the opportunity closes, build another door," he said on his vlog. So he built a new door that would open a new opportunity for him to do what he loves. He was introduced to vlogging and he enjoyed every minute of his adventures.
"It's not the years in your life, but it's the life in your years that count. The biggest thing that we have to realize is that life has no limitations except the ones we create," he shared with conviction and full of love, that everybody wants to live a long life but living that life can make it extra special. With boldness and courage, he dares himself to live his life to the fullest.
He mentioned that what he values more from his work are the people he met, the memories shared and will forever be cherished, and the things that he learned, the smiles that he witnessed.
Before the end of the video, he disclosed that he is suffering from cancer, after his series of check ups. He also told that he can be helped by people who are willing to listen, who will be interested to follow him and travel with him, learn with him.
"Are you satisfied with the way you've lived your life and have you maximized your experiences? My answer to that question is yes. And that's why I'm content with my condition and the hardships I face," he said. This is his closing statement to his video that people would ponder on. Have we achieved that satisfaction in our life?


This section is possibly the most difficult one of all to understand. But it is worth attempting to, as it is important. I had great difficulty deciding how I was going to explain what is a very complex area, but here goes.
We saw that everything is based around Aggregates. Aggregates are classes of things which exist in both the physical world and the spiritual world. Thus a heart is an aggregate that has both physical existence and has sets of functions to work it.
Each aggregate is composed of other aggregates. So a heart is a collection of cells. And a cell is a collection of molecules [to simplify things a bit]. If the 'thing' can work on its own – is an autonomous entity - it is an aggregate. So if we take something physical apart and can keep a part of it going with appropriate 'nutrients' it is an aggregate. We can work as an employee of a company [aggregate] and a human being [lower level aggregate]. Note that the reverse is not true. If we take a thing apart, and remove its sub-aggregates, it may 'die'. The company will die without its employees, the human being will die without its heart.
As we form each aggregate it acquires extra function, sometimes a lot of function, sometimes only a small number of functions. We as a human being have acquired all the functions I have shown in the Model – Perception, Emotion, Memory recall and learning, along with Creativity and Imagination, Reasoning, the Will, the 5 senses and the Nervous system. The autonomic system by contrast is not strictly speaking 'ours' although I have shown it on the diagram for convenience sake, the functions here belong to our organs – sub-aggregates of us.
So the Aggregate that is us as a human being actually has very few functions. All the rest of the functions belong to the other Aggregates of which we are composed physically.
So now we need to look at each Aggregate as a unit. Every Aggregate is a system. A 'self contained' unit with functions that interacts with other systems. In the example above, we have two Aggregates 1 and 2, with different functions. Each aggregate only knows of the 'world' outside itself by the Events, that affect it. Whatever 'perception' system it possesses will pick up on the 'outside' world from these events that bombard it all the time. Our stomach 'perceives' only food and drink as events under normal circumstances, but if someone punches us in the stomach, that event will simply be registered as a threat to its existence. Human beings, on the other hand, can perceive any number of events – threats and opportunities. To any aggregate that is how the external world seems – a threat or an opportunity.
What you should be able to see, therefore is that an event is just the output from something else's function. An event for one aggregate is an output to another aggregate. The stomach registers 'pain' when hit, but from then on it knows nothing of what happens next, only our mind gets the 'pain' signal as an event and tries to do something about it.
Because every object is a self contained thing, all it will know is that it is getting a call to act – DO SOMETHING – and so it may or may not react depending on its state.
And every aggregate has 'Will', because the Will controls what transaction and thus what functions come next. We have Will but so does every aggregate. The Will is like a transaction scheduler. It receives information about what has happened – the external event – and it decides what needs to be done. The command and control function. Sometimes it will execute a sequence of functions – a transaction which it has had from 'birth' so a set of predefined functions that it can simply execute from its store of transactions. But some aggregates can also 'learn'. They use their perceptions to try to build predictive models of what to do when they suddenly encounter a new 'event'. Our immune system learns. Pods learn. Flocks of birds learn. Governments sadly, do not learn [sorry a joke … or maybe not].
So we have to imagine an event hits our aggregate. It searches through its learnt and inherited transactions to see if it has ever encountered this event before. If it has, the transaction is 'executed' so the functions are gone through in the correct sequence [see function dependencies] and an output is produced which may serve to trigger other Aggregates.
The football crowd see a goal scored [event]. The crowd surges forward and roars with approval [transaction]. The goalie hears the massive roar [event] and in despair bursts into tears [transaction] . His wife sees him [event] and rushes onto the pitch with a box of Kleenex [transaction]. The pinball effect, except of course the pinball never stops, because there is no hole for it to go into, the world and the universe is just a massive never ending chain of event, transaction, event, transaction, event transaction… on and on into eternity.

Sarah Hummel '19 (Major in History, Minor in French)
Sarah has undertaken an number of research projects while at Saint Anselm College, both in and outside the classroom. As a part of her Women's History course, taught by Professor Salerno, Sarah looked into the life of Mrs. Lois Warren Shaw, one of 400 militant suffragists mentioned in the National Women's Party newspaper The Suffragist.
During this experience, Sarah came face-to-face with some of the difficulties that researchers encounter while tackling their work. For example, when attempting to use genealogical information, she found that her suffragist shared the same name with her daughter which made it difficult to attribute various deeds to the correct person.
Sarah's biographical sketches and research notes on this topic have been published in the Women and Social Movements database, to which hundreds of academic libraries subscribe. Sarah has also presented her research on this topic at the New England Historical Association Conference in 2016.
"I agreed to present my research experience because I was eager to share with other students and educators the lessons that the project taught me. The NEHA Conference seemed like the perfect place to network and share my experience as a historian with like-minded history students and professors."
She observed, "Presenting in a conference setting forced me to focus not just on paring down my ideas, but also expressions. I also learned that if you are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the information you are going to present, those two factors make presenting much less nerve-racking – but it's okay to be a little nervous too!"
Speaking at the conference helped Sarah realize that historians do much more than just researching and writing—sharing the information they discover in many ways is just as important.
In addition, Sarah has held a position at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics on campus for several years and has contributed to a number of museum-type exhibits including one on John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign another on "Perspectives of Equality" in the American political system.
Caitlin Williamson '19 (Majors in History and Secondary Education)
Caitlin has participated in several research projects during her time at Saint Anselm College. For example, while serving as student assistant to the history department, she worked on captioning the pictures that adorn the walls of the college's own Coffee Shop so that students and visitors alike would know who or what they were looking at. This project was finished in the fall of 2018.
Using resources including simple Google searches, the older college catalogs (some digitized, others in physical form at Giesel Library), the College archives, information derived from Saint Anselm monks, and articles from the college magazine Portraits, Caitlin was able to date many of the pictures found at the Coffee Shop. This process was not without difficulties, however; some photos, such as those of landscapes, contained no information about what they represented or when they were taken. Without identifying characteristics, many pictures could not be precisely dated.
"...being able to dive deeper and really know how we were founded, what student life used to be like, and see all the changes that happened on campus over the past 129 years, made me feel so much more connected to Saint Anselm College than I would have been without doing this project."
Katherine Warth '21 (Major in American Studies)
Katherine has contributed to many research-related projects, both within and without the discipline of history, and both in and outside Saint Anselm classrooms. After excelling in a statistics course, she was invited to apply for the New Hampshire INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) grant, which funds student research projects surrounding biomedical topics during both the summer and school year. After being accepted, she became a part of a team consisting of two professors and four students, conducting a statistical analysis of data collected on postpartum depression. Katherine's work attempted to find a link between experiences of postpartum depression and subsequent breast feeding intensity or frequency.
This project involved transferring data collected from women into a computer statistical analysis program, filing and labeling it, categorizing it, and giving values for each variable. Katherine also conducted descriptive statistics (mean, median, frequency), created graphs (histograms, pie charts), and conducted advanced analysis (Analysis of Variance, Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance). Her team's research was presented at the NH-INBRE conference in August, 2018, about which she said, "Overall, this conference was a wonderful experience that helped me learn a lot about my own research and expanded my knowledge of many other areas of scientific research... I got to present at an open poster session, which gave me the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with people about my research and how it's significant."
While holding a paid research position, Katherine assisted Professor Andrew Moore in finding sources that concerned the post-presidential career of Jimmy Carter. These materials will help Professor Moore in his task of writing a biography of Carter. Katherine made use of TIME, the New York Times, press releases from the Carter Center, and book reviews of Carter's own published works.
"I've learned a lot about how research is conducted through this project... This research is a lot more independent... and I've learned the importance of self-motivation in research. Ultimately what keeps me going is my love of research and my interest in Jimmy Carter. It's so fun to use a jumble of documents to create a clear picture of the past..."
William Small '21 (Majors in History and Secondary Education, Minor in Russian Area Studies)
William has participated in a number of research projects at the College. He has done research as part of a paid position for Professor Moore, being tasked with finding primary sources related to the legal and cultural history of guns in America. This work facilitated the creation of an introductory-level history course that Professor Moore first taught in the fall of 2019. Using college databases and the bibliographies of secondary sources, he was able to unearth a great number and variety of primary sources including newspapers, old hunting and fishing magazines like Arms and the Man and Field and Stream, Supreme Court opinions, National Rifle Association advertisements, and local and state statutes.
"I… gained a deeper understanding of the research process [and] have a solid grasp of what sort of… resources the college does and does not have at its disposal, which will help streamline any further research I do down the road."
Using these sources, William noticed the continuities between the past and the present day. He came to believe that many arguments, both for and against gun laws, have deep roots American history, and that Americans have been making more or less the same claims since the founding of the country. Although newer arguments have appeared and helped change the debate, a fair number of older ones never left the national consciousness. In assessing this project, William had this to say, "Witnessing the development of the American gun rights debate through first-hand news pieces and opinions has been one of the most interesting processes I have ever been a part of."
William and Professor Moore worked together again under a summer grant from the Center for Ethics in Business and Governance, researching the relationship between the gun control debate and evangelical Christians in the United States in the last twenty years. William compiled a library of news articles, both secular and evangelical, writings on the subject by evangelical authors on both sides of the argument, evangelical blog posts and public forum responses, and various studies and polls. As can happen often during the research process, he became surprised at some of trends found in his evidence, such as how many of the most ardent pro-gun control voices he heard came from evangelical ministers.
Robert Hughes '20 (Major in History, Minor in German Studies)
Robert has developed his research skills through the experiences he gained doing paid research from Professor Phil Pajakowski. While working for Professor Pajakowski, Robert was delegated the task of uncovering primary and secondary sources relating to the jurisprudence and legal history of the Soviet Union. These sources were used primarily to assist in the creation of a course covering the legal systems of dictatorships in the 20th century. Robert availed himself of the college's various databases and the internet. Among his findings were "the philosophical writings of many Soviet legal philosophers and lawyers, such as Evgeny Pashukanis and Andrei Vyshinsky." One may believe that finding English-language sources for a Russian topic would prove difficult, but Robert was able to overcome these issues, finding a sizable number of sources. In fact, he mentioned that the most difficult problem he came across was deciding which sources were the most relevant, not which were the easiest to read or understand.
As a part of this work, Robert noticed several trends and related concepts. For example, he came to find a shift in the historiography of American writers discussing the topic of Soviet legality. At first, before the 1960s, most American authors seemed to (inaccurately) argue that the Soviet Union had no legal system at all, and that the country was in a state of perpetual anarchy. Later scholars adopted a more realistic and balanced approach, noting that the socialist system was flawed but still had its own legal procedures, criminal justice system, constitutional protections, and so on.
"Much of the research that I had done before was very directed... With this project, however, it was very open-ended. I was given free rein to find sources for a broad topic. This project definitely taught me how to evaluate a large number of sources and to establish their relevance to a topic."
The 5th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiment Project
Over the last few years, Professor Dubrulle has been working on a project surrounding the 5th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiment, the unit that suffered the greatest number of combat fatalities in Federal service during the American Civil War. A variety of students have contributed to this work through paid student researcher positions while others have used sources compiled by Professor Dubrulle and his researchers to compose group research essays as a part of the college's Civil War and Reconstruction course.
Caitlin Williamson, for example, worked with letters written by soldiers of the regiment as one of Professor Dubrulle's research assistants. Her work mainly involved transcribing the letters of Pvt. Miles Peabody from Antrim, New Hampshire, and portions of the correspondence of Lt. Col. James E. Larkin, who was from Concord, New Hampshire. In reference to this, Caitlin stated, "I became really attached to the soldiers while reading their correspondence! I felt for them and found myself really invested in their stories that were told over a century ago... There is a lot of emotion in these letters, and much of it is expressed in the handwriting." Caitlin believed this project gave her a broader understanding of the Civil War, since she was able to see the day-to-day perspective of many soldiers.
Gregory Valcourt (Class of '18. Major in History, Minor in Great Books), also a paid student researcher, was assigned a role, as he put it, making "the past legible and searchable for the future." This role entailed searching through Augustus D. Ayling's Revised Register of the Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire in the War of Rebellion 1861-1866 and attempting to find the abbreviated service records of all those who served in the 5th New Hampshire throughout the entire war. This trove of information was then entered into an Excel spreadsheet, allowing its contents to be easily searched and sorted. This searching and sorting brought some interesting patterns to light, such as foreign-born soldiers and substitutes being more likely to desert than the original volunteers and native-born soldiers. It also provided for some important discoveries, such as the high casualties suffered by the regiment at the little-known Battle of Farmville (or High Bridge) in the waning days of the war. The short notes contained within the service records also described a "colorful cast of characters" according to Gregory, who mentioned the story of Oliver Grapes, a volunteer who deserted in July 1863, only to volunteer yet again for a Maryland regiment in August 1863 under the alias "Oliver Vine."
Katherine Warth and William Small, among several others, worked together on the aforementioned group research paper. Its aim was to discern the role of the 5th New Hampshire in the Battle of Fair Oaks, fought during General McClellan's Peninsula Campaign of 1862 near Richmond, Virginia. After uncovering the vital part played by the unit in the battle, the group also aimed to detail soldiers' experiences of combat and the combat effectiveness of the unit as a whole. Katherine's contribution mainly involved researching and writing on a number of subtopics including the "Grapevine Bridge" which spanned the Chickahominy River. Katherine discovered that the bridge was indispensable to Union forces because it allowed them to cross the river to the Fair Oaks battlefield after most of the other crossings had been washed out by flooding.
William's role in this process generally involved looking at primary sources such as letters, journals, newspapers, and official reports. William stated about his research, "Reading soldier's letters about the fear they experienced in battle… and their thoughts on field hospital conditions gave me a much deeper understanding of the horrors of the Civil War… It was also interesting to see how soldiers from different regiments disagreed on each other's effectiveness in combat, sometimes disparaging one another within the confines of their letters."
Current Paid Student Research Positions
Visualizing Data: Ecclesiastical Subsidies in 16th-century Spain
Professor Perrone: approximately 56 hours in the fall (two students) with continuation if desired in spring.
Several students are currently helping Professor Perrone on a project that furthers research on royal finances and church-state relations in sixteenth-century Spain by offering new datasets to analyze and raising new questions to explore. This is being done by completing databases on the ecclesiastical contribution to the king of Spain (Charles V) for ArcGIS (a computer-based data visualization program) and preparation of a short publication on the databases for other scholars. These students are, additionally, transcribing data for Excel databases, writing instructions for their use, drafting introductory content for the historical material, and compiling a bibliography.
5th New Hampshire Project
Professor Dubrulle: approximately 40 hours in the fall (one student) and 40 hours in the spring (one student).
As part of a research project concerning the 5th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, Professor Dubrulle is currently having research assistants transcribe letters written by soldiers in the regiment, index letters that have already been transcribed, and use FamilySearch to find documents (e.g. census records) that help locate the whereabouts of soldiers both before and after the war.
Mary Clark Biography
Professor Salerno: approximately 40 hours in the fall (one student) and 40 hours in the spring (one student).
As Professor Salerno prepares a biography of New Hampshire abolitionist Mary Clark for publication, she is having student researchers run research queries on the web and in scholarly databases for new or updated information, check all citations and find missing ones within her manuscript, and check all quotations for accuracy. These students also read chapters of Professor Salerno's manuscript for clarity and precision from time to time.

Eliminating or at least hiding all digits after the decimal point.
(A/B), where A is constantly increasing and B is the goal. Every time A=B, the thing resets, but B is 10% higher. This means after a few cycles, B has a long list of digits after the decimal point.
Is there a way to simply hide this from the user while still counting it in the calculations? If not, how can I get it to round up to the next highest whole number? Thanks for the help!
There's a built in round function. You can access it in MATH>NUM>2:round.
There is also iPart( and int(, which will save you a few bytes if you are rounding down.
In fact, round(A,0 is 4 characters, and so is 1+iPart(A.
iPart( is cutting the decimals away!
iPart(8.9) will be 8 and not 9!
round(A,B) will round A, so that there'll be B decimals after the comma left.
That's pretty much what nimda said. S/He said it will save bytes "if you are rounding down." Also, iPart is not always the best. For some reason the calculator doesn't handle floating point numbers well at times, and doing something like "sub("HELLO",iPart(A),1)" might result in an error (it's happened before with me).
Completely unrelated to THIS topic, but is there any way to round down using only logic and without iPart( or int( or round( ? I'm asking because I can't find one in Grammer - iPart( always returns 0. So is there a way to round them without those commands? For ex: iPart(3851/1000)=3 Given 3851/1000, I want to get 3.
Does Grammer even support decimal expansions of fractions? Looking through the PDF, I believe it automatically returns the integer part ("rounds down") and stores the remainder in θ'.
And it kept looping. I figured it was an error with the rounding, but it was really because it looped down below 0 and to 65536! I forgot that.
O.O Oh dear, using iPart( could cause some trouble! In Grammer, that writes two bytes of data to a memory address! By the look of things, your code was probably trying to write to archive, so it wouldn't work and so wouldn't cause harm.
It is cool to know that folks are using Grammer over here!
X/100000000000000->X //There are 10 decimals shown, but the TI saves 15 decimals! So we need 10 "0" in the code.
This code won't give you the iPart - It'll give you the rounded number!!
But That's the only other way I know!
That won't exactly work in Grammer (the number system is a bit different), but I could definitely add a routine to round division (I already have a routine to round square roots). Maybe I will add it so that Float causes Grammer to automatically round where it can? Or should I do /' ?

Ри́жский ру́сский теа́тр и́мени Михаи́ла Че́хова (РРТ) — латвийский драматический театр в городе Риге, основанный 2 октября 1883 года.

С 2006 года носит имя актёра, театрального педагога и режиссёра Михаила Александровича Чехова — племянника писателя Антона Павловича Чехова.

Современный адрес театра — Латвия, LV-1050, Рига, улица Калькю, д. 16.

В историю театра вписали свои имена такие мастера, как Константин Незлобин, Константин Марджанов, Александр Таиров, Михаил Муратов, Сергей Радлов, Вера Балюнас, Аркадий Кац, Петер Штайн, Евгений Арье, Роман Козак, Паоло Эмилио Ланди, Алла Сигалова, Сергей Голомазов и многие другие известные режиссёры.

История театра
Осенью 1883 года, 2 октября, в зале русской ремесленной артели, прибывшей в Ригу на целый сезон, труппой антрепренёра Е. В. Лаврова была показана пьеса И. Шпажинского «Майорша». В городе появился самостоятельный профессиональный русский театр, до 1902 года выступавший на сцене в здании, принадлежавшем акционерному обществу «Улей».

С 1902 года до начала Первой мировой войны труппа работает в здании Второго городского театра (архитектор Август Рейнберг), который был открыт городскими властями к 700-летнему юбилею Риги.

В театре гастролировали Вера Комиссаржевская, Марья Савина, Варвара Стрельская и многие другие маститые актёры.

В истории театра 1902 год связан с именем актёра и режиссёра Константина Незлобина, державшего в Риге антерпризу. При его непосредственном участии сформировалось стабильное ядро труппы. Незлобин сумел привлечь талантливых режиссёров, декораторов и актёров. Заметно расширился и обогатился репертуар.

В труппу были приглашены выдающиеся актёры — М. Андреева, М. Роксанова, А. Харламов, Н. Михайловский, В. Лихачёв. Большое значение имели постановки режиссёра К. Марджанова, ученика К. Станиславского.

В 1904 году в Ригу, по приглашению лично с ним знакомого Незлобина, приезжал М. Горький и принимал участие в постановке своих пьес. В ноябре состоялась премьера спектакля «Дачники» в постановке К. Марджанова. На будущий год во время гастролей этот спектакль был хорошо принят московским зрителем.

Во время руководства труппой театра Н. Михайловским, одним из приглашённых режиссёров был молодой Александр Таиров, с постановками которого имели возможность познакомиться рижане.

Театр возобновил работу в независимой Латвии в 1921 году. Труппу возглавил приехавший из Болгарии актёр московского Малого Театра М. Муратов, игравший здесь несколько сезонов. В репертуаре преобладали спектакли русской классики, поставленные на арендованной сцене Латышского общества. Несмотря на государственные дотации, часть средств приходилось собирать усилиями товарищества «Театр русской драмы».

На гастроли в Ригу приезжали многие выдающиеся артисты. Два сезона играл Михаил Чехов, зрители могли видеть Василия Качалова, Григория Хмару, Ольгу Гзовскую, Павла Орленёва.

В это время и в самой труппе было много ярких талантов: Е. Жихарева, Е. Маршева, Е. Рощина-Инсарова, М. Ведринская, Л. Мельникова, Е. Бунчук, Г. Терехов. На сцене театра выступала известная латышская актриса Л. Штенгеле.

Занимаясь руководством вновь созданного Рабочего театра, находил время на игру и постановку новых спектаклей Юрий Юровский.

В Рижском русском театре впервые была поставлена пьеса «Утиная охота» А. Вампилова.

Одним из ведущих принципов РРТ на протяжении многих лет было поддержание жанрового разнообразия репертуара: зрителю предлагались и глубокие социально-психологические спектакли, и зрелищные музыкальные представления, и неожиданные творческие эксперименты с формой, и академически строгие — «классические» — постановки.

В августе 2010 года главным режиссёром театра стал Игорь Коняев. Занимал эту должность до октября 2015 года.

Театр сегодня

С 2000 года у театра складываются прочные творческие отношения с легендарным латвийским композитором Раймондом Паулсом. Вслед за его мюзиклом «Керри» на сцене театра появляются музыкальные спектакли при непосредственном участии маэстро — «Ночи Кабирии», «Соло для актрисы с оркестром», «Старинные часы», «Раймонд Паулс. Избранное», «Одесса, город колдовской…». В мае 2017 года репертуар РРТ пополнился музыкальным представлением "Девушка в кафе" - по стихам Аустры Скуини в переводе Ольги Петерсон.

В сентябре 2006 года театр (прежде именовавшийся Государственным рижским театром русской драмы) вернул себе историческое название «Рижский русский театр» и получил право именоваться театром имени Михаила Чехова, отдавая дань памяти блестящему актеру, режиссеру и педагогу, посвятившему два года своей жизни (1932-1934) работе в Риге и открывшему здесь свою первую школу.

В 2010 году завершилась реконструкция театрального здания, благодаря которой РРТ по оснащению в настоящее время является одним из самых современных театров Европы. В том же году художественным руководителем театра стал известный режиссёр из Санкт-Петербурга, лауреат Государственной премии Игорь Коняев (занимавший пост до октября 2015 года); он также взял на себя обязанности мастера актерского курса, который набрал совместно с профессором Санкт-Петербургской театральной академии Еленой Чёрной на базе Латвийской академии культуры - специально для русского театра.  В 2014 году выпускники этого курса успешно пополнили труппу РРТ.

В 2014 году театр получил Международную театральную премию зрительских симпатий «Звезда Театрала» в номинации «Лучший русский театр за пределами России».

До ноября 2017 года директором театра являлся Эдуард Цеховал, занимавший эту должность почти 30 лет и в 2013 году получивший Премию Станиславского - «за сохранение традиций русского театра в Латвии». С 8 января 2018 года директором театра является Дана Бйорк.

1 октября 2018 года художественным руководителем театра стал Сергей Голомазов.

В репертуаре РРТ представлены как русская и мировая классика, так и работы молодых драматургов. На Большой, Малой и Экспериментальной сценах играют спектакли всех жанров, включая детские и музыкальные представления. Театр активно гастролирует и успешно выступает на фестивальной арене.

Q: Pod restart very often after adding resources Pod restart very often after adding resources.
Before that the resources were not added.
The pod doesn't restart at all, or maybe it only happens once or twice a day.
I'm not sure if resources affect health-check or not, so pod restarts very often.

Harry Reid Confirms Federal Government Covered Up UFOs For Years

DraftKings Gambling That People Want To Bet On Drone Races
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the U.S. government has been hiding key details about UFOs for years.
"Why the federal government all these years has covered up, put brake pads on everything, stopped it, I think it's very, very bad for our country," Reid said in the new documentary "The Phenomenon" from director James Fox.
"Are you saying that there's some evidence that still hasn't seen the light of day?" asked Fox.
"I'm saying most of it hasn't seen the light of day," Reid replied.
The film examines the history of UFO sightings in the United States and abroad, including new details about the military-confirmed encounters off the coast involving U.S. Navy pilots. It also details a 1967 report in which an object appeared over a U.S. missile base at the same time 10 of the missiles became inoperative.
"If they had been called upon by the president to launch, they couldn't have done it," Reid said in the film.
Reid, who was among the lawmakers behind a classified but since-closed U.S. government UFO program, has become increasingly outspoken about the phenomena since leaving office. However, he stopped short of confirming evidence of other-worldly activity, writing in August on Twitter that he wants the issue studied and that "we must stick to science, not fairy tales about little green men."
He repeated that point of view in the new film.
"Nobody has to agree why it's there. But should we at least be spending some money to study all these phenomenon?" he asked. "The answer is 'yes.'"
UFO expert Lee Speigel, a former HuffPost reporter, served as a co-writer and co-producer on the film, which he said took seven years to come to fruition.
"Whether you're a UFO 'believer' or debunker, those in-between or still undecided, it's important to present accurate information that potentially affects the national security of all nations and the safety of all citizens of our planet," Spiegel said.
"The Phenomenon" is currently available via VOD.

Aside from journalism, he also programmes the odd (in both senses of the word) film screening in London.
Richard Foord — Writer
Richard spent most of his university days scribbling away, whether as deputy editor at The Oxford Student newspaper, or contributing to student magazines.

Time not writing is mostly spent planning camping trips.

Katie Braithwaite — Customer Champion, The Day Explorer
Katie spent a year teaching History in a country boarding school, before joining The Day in September 2017.

To relax, she loves to unwind with a good book and a cuddle with the world's greatest cat: Teeny TigerLily.
