One in eight (8) women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. How do you know how likely you are to be that one? It may help to consider the different categories of breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, 2009-2013
Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi share several traits relating to breast cancer incidence and mortality among women less than 45 years old. These relate to incidence, biological tumor markers, and mortality.
From 2011-2015, young white women in each of these states experienced lower breast cancer incidence than counterparts in the overall U.S., significantly lower in all 3 states. In contrast, black women in each state were more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than in the U.S. as a whole, but this difference was only statistically significant in Louisiana. (All U.S. incidence rates are based on data compiled by the NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.)
Table 1 shows the average annual incidence rates and number of new cases for each state.
Table 1. Average annual incidence rates per 100,000 (case counts), breast cancer among women aged < 45, 2011-2015
White Women Black Women
Alabama 25.1 (221) 31.3 (119)
Louisiana 25.5 (193) 31.7 (129)
Mississippi 25.0 (113) 30.9 (99)
U.S. (SEER) 27.3 29.0
State rate is significantly lower or higher than the U.S. rate (p <= 0.05). Counts are not provided for the U.S., as the SEER sample covers only about one fourth of the population.
One factor that indicates worse prognosis for breast cancer patients is the combination of negative estrogen receptors, negative progesterone receptors, and negative HER-2 receptors. For these women, the common chemotherapies now available will not halt the spread of their disease. Throughout the United States, black women are more likely to be "triple negative" than are white women. In the 0-44 age-group, approximately 23% of black women with breast cancer are triple negative, versus about 15% of white women. This pattern is true in each of the three Southern states. Table 2 summarizes the counts and percentages of women diagnosed with this characteristic each year in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Table 2. Average annual incidence counts (percentages) for triple-negative breast cancer among women aged < 45, 2011-2015
Alabama 32 (14.5%) 24 (19.9%)
Louisiana 32 (16.6%) 37 (28.7%)
Mississippi 20 (17.6%) 30 (30.3%)
U.S. (SEER) (15.0%) (23.1%)
Mortality rates for black women are higher in Alabama and Louisiana than in the U.S. as a whole although these differences do not reach statistical significance. Mortality among white women is lower in Louisiana, but slightly higher in Alabama and Mississippi when compared to the U.S. rate; again, these differences are not statistically significant. (See Table 3 for the average annual mortality rates and counts.)
Table 3. Average annual mortality rates per 100,000 (death counts), breast cancer among women aged < 45, 2011-2015
Alabama 2.6 (23) 5.0 (19)
Louisiana 2.2 (17) 5.8 (23)
Mississippi 2.7 (12) 4.6 (15)
U.S. (SEER) 2.5 (1,596) 4.8 (594)
Mississippi's Young Breast Cancer Survivor Network
Young women with breast cancer face unique issues. And in the South, there are more young women overall facing breast cancer. In Mississippi, young African-American women are significantly more likely to suffer from breast cancer.
That is why SurvivMISS is here. Part of the Gulf States Young Breast Cancer Survivor Network, SurviveMISS's mission is to help improve the quality of life for young breast cancer survivors, as well as their family and friends, by providing continuing resources and support.

It is just not true. There is no science behind it. And yet, we are inundated with news media reports warning that dehydration is dangerous and common.
These reports work up a fear that otherwise healthy adults and children are walking around dehydrated, and that dehydration has reached epidemic proportions.
Let us put these claims under scrutiny. I was a co-author of a paper back in 2007 in The BMJ on medical myths. The first myth was that people should drink at least eight 240ml glasses of water a day.
This paper got more media attention, including The New York Times', than other research I had done. But it made no difference.
Water is present in fruits and vegetables. It is in juice, beer, and even in tea and coffee. Before anyone writes to me to say coffee is going to dehydrate you, research shows that is not true either.
Two years later, I co-wrote a book on medical myths that once again debunked the idea that we need eight glasses of water a day. I thought it would persuade people to stop worrying.
But I was wrong. Many believe the source of this myth was a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board recommendation that said people need about 2.5 litres of water a day. But most people ignored a sentence that read: "Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods."
Although I recommend water as the best drink to consume, it is not your only source of hydration. You do not have to consume all the water you need through drinks. You also do not need to worry so much about never feeling thirsty.
The human body is finely tuned to signal you to drink long before you are actually dehydrated.
Contrary to many stories you may hear, there is no real scientific proof that, for otherwise healthy people, drinking extra water has any health benefits.
For instance, reviews have failed to find there is any evidence that drinking more water keeps skin hydrated and makes it look healthier. It is true that some retrospective cohort studies have found increased water to be associated with better outcomes, but these are subject to the usual epidemiological problems, such as an inability to prove causation. Moreover, they defined "high" water consumption at fewer than eight glasses.
Prospective studies fail to find benefits in kidney function or all-cause mortality when healthy people increase their fluid intake. Randomised controlled trials fail to find benefits as well, with the exception of specific cases - for example, preventing the recurrence of some kinds of kidney stones.
Real dehydration, when your body has lost a significant amount of water because of illness, excessive sweating or an inability to drink, is a serious issue. But people with clinical dehydration almost always have symptoms of some sort.
A significant number of advertisers and news media reports are trying to convince you otherwise. The number of people who carry around water each day seems to be increasing every year. Bottled water sales continue to grow.
In a recent study in the American Journal Of Public Health, researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2009 to 2012 to examine 4,134 children aged six to 19.
Specifically, they calculated their mean urine osmolality, which is a measure of urine concentration.
The higher the value, the more concentrated the urine. They found that more than half of the children had a urine osmolality of 800 mOsm/kg or higher.
They also found that children who drank eight ounces (236.5ml) or more of water a day had, on average, a urine osmolality about 8 mOsm less than those who did not.
So if you define "dehydration" as a urine osmolality of 800 mOsm/kg or higher, the findings of this study are really concerning. This article did.
The problem is that most clinicians do not. I am a paediatrician and I can tell you that I have rarely used urine osmolality as the means by which I decide if a child is dehydrated. When I asked colleagues, none thought 800 mOsm/kg was the value at which they would be concerned. And in a Web search, most sources I found thought values up to 1,200 mOsm/kg were still in the physiologically normal range and that children varied more than adults. None declared that 800 mOsm/kg was where we would consider a child to be dehydrated.
In other words, there is very little reason to believe that children who have a spot-urine measurement of 800 mOsm/kg should be worried.
In fact, back in 2002, a study was published in the Journal Of Paediatrics, one that was more exploratory in nature than a look for dehydration, and it found that boys in Germany had an average urine osmolality of 844 mOsm/kg. One paragraph in the paper recounted a huge number of studies from all over the world that found average urine mOsm/kg in children ranged from 392 mOsm/kg in Kenya to 964 in Sweden.
That has not stopped more recent studies from continuing to use the 800 mOsm/kg standard to declare huge numbers of children to be dehydrated. A 2012 study in the Annals Of Nutrition And Metabolism used it to declare that almost two-thirds of French children were not getting enough water.
Another in the journal Public Health Nutrition used it to declare that almost two-thirds of children in Los Angeles and New York City were not getting enough water. The first study was funded by Nestle Waters and the second by Nestec, a Nestle subsidiary.
It is possible that there are children who need to be better hydrated. But at some point, we are at risk of calling an ordinary healthy condition a disease.
When two-thirds of healthy children, year after year, are found to have a laboratory value that someone is labelling "abnormal", it may be the definition and not their health that is off.
None of this has slowed the tidal push for more water. It has been part of Mrs Michelle Obama's "Drink Up" campaign. In 2013, Mr Sam Kass, then a White House nutritional policy adviser, declared: "Forty per cent of Americans drink less than half of the recommended amount of water daily."
There is no formal recommendation for a daily amount of water people need. That amount differs by what a person eats, where he lives, how big he is and what he does.
But as people in this country live longer than before, and have arguably freer access to beverages than at almost any time in human history, it is just not true that we are all dehydrated.

Is it permissible to marry a woman who used to commit zina?.
நபியே!.
It is not permissible to marry a zaaniyah or zaani unless they have repented. If the man or woman has not repented then the marriage is not valid.
அல்லாஹ் கூறுகிறார் (பொருள் விளக்கம்):
"The adulterer — fornicator marries not but an adulteress — fornicatress or a Mushrikah; and the adulteress –fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer — fornicater or a Mushrik [and that means that the man who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan or idolatress) or a prostitute, பின்னர் நிச்சயமாக, he is either an adulterer — fornicator, or a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater). And the woman who agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer — fornicator, then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or idolatress)]. Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (இஸ்லாமிய கடவுட்)"
[அல்-நூர் 24:3]
There is a report concerning the reason for the revelation of this verse which makes the ruling clearer. அபு தாவூத் (2051) narrated from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, தனது தந்தையிடம் இருந்து, from his grandfather, that Marthad ibn Abi Marthad al-Ghanawi used to smuggle prisoners from Makkah. There was in Makkah a prostitute called 'Anaaq and she had been his friend. அவர் கூறினார்: I came to the Prophet (அல்லாஹ்வின் அமைதி மற்றும் ஆசீர்வாதம் மீது இருக்கலாம்) மற்றும் கூறினார்: அல்லாஹ்வின் தூதரே, should I marry 'Anaaq? He remained silent and did not answer me. Then the words "and the adulteress –fornicatress, none marries her except an adulterer — fornicater or a Mushrik" were revealed. He called me and recited them to me, மற்றும் கூறினார்: Do not marry her. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
In 'Awn al-Ma'bood it says:
This indicates that it is not permissible for a man to marry a woman who has openly committed zina. This is indicated by the verse quoted in the hadeeth, because at the end of it, அது கூறுகிறது: "Such a thing is forbidden to the believers". This clearly shows that it is haraam. End quote.
Al-Sa'di (ரஹ் இருக்கலாம்) said in his commentary on the verse quoted above:
This shows that zina is abhorrent and that it tarnishes the honour of the one who does it in a way that other sins do not. We are told that no woman marries a zaani except a zaaniyah who is like him or a mushrikah who associates others with Allaah and does not believe in the resurrection or reward and punishment, and does not obey the commands of Allaah. The same applies to the zaaniyah: no one marries her but a zaani or a mushrik. "Such a thing is forbidden to the believers" means: it is forbidden for them to marry zaanis or zaaniyahs.
What the verse means is that the one who marries a person, மனிதன் அல்லது பெண், who has committed zina and has not repented from that must be either a person who is not adhering to the rulings of Allaah and His Messenger, so he cannot be anything but a mushrik, or he is adhering to the laws of Allaah and His Messenger but he goes ahead with this marriage even though he knows about this zina, in which case the marriage is zina and immorality. If he were truly a believer in Allaah, he would not do that.
This clearly indicates that it is haraam to marry a zaaniyah until she repents, or to marry a zaani until he repents, because the partnership between a man and his wife or a woman and her husband is the closest of partnerships. அல்லாஹ் கூறுகிறார் (பொருள் விளக்கம்): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions" [al-Saaffaat 37:22]. Therefore Allaah has forbidden that because of the great evil that it involves. It also implies a lack of protective jealousy and implies that children may attributed to the husband who are not his, the zaani will not be keeping her chaste because he is distracted by someone else. Any one of these would be sufficient for it to be haraam. End quote.
ஷேக்ஸ் இபின் 'Uthaymeen (ரஹ் இருக்கலாம்) said something similar, and said that the meaning of the verse is that the one who believes that it is haraam to marry a zaaniyah but still marries her has entered into a haraam marriage contract which he believes is haraam. A haraam contract is like one that does not exist, so it is not permissible for him to be intimate with the woman; in that case the man will be a zaani.
But if he denies that it is haraam to marry a zaaniyah and says that it is permissible, then in this case the man is a mushrik, because he has declared permissible something that Allaah has forbidden and has made himself a lawmaker along with Allaah. This is what we say to a man who gives his daughter in marriage to a zaani.
Fataawa al-Mar'ah al-Muslimah, compiled by Ashraf 'Abd al-Maqsood (2/698).
இந்த (அதாவது. that it is haraam to marry a zaaniyah) was stated in fatwas issued by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (ரஹ் இருக்கலாம்) and by the scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas, headed by Shaykh Ibn Baaz (ரஹ் இருக்கலாம்).
பார்க்க: Fataawa Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (10/135) and Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (18/383).
Shaykh அல் இஸ்லாமியம் இபின் Taymiyah கூறினார்:
Because of the punishment that Allaah has decreed for those who commit zina, He made it haraam for the believers to marry them, as a rebuke to them and because of the sins and bad deeds that they have. … So (அல்லாஹ்) tells us that no one does that but a zaani or a mushrik.
As for the mushrik, he has no faith that will deter him from committing immoral actions or keeping company with those who do them.
As for the zaani, his immoral nature prompts him to do that even if he is not a mushrik.
Allaah has enjoined us to shun evil and its people so long as they are doing that, and this applies to the zaani.
Allaah has stipulated that men should be chaste and not immoral, அவர் சொல்வது போல் (பொருள் விளக்கம்): "All others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with Mahr (திருமண பணம் திருமணத்தின் போது அவரது மனைவி கணவர் கொடுத்த) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse" [அல்-நிசா ' 4:24]. This is something that should not be ignored because the Qur'aan has stated it clearly.
As for the prohibition on marrying a zaaniyah, the fuqaha', such as the companions of Ahmad and others, have discussed it and there are reports concerning it from the salaf. Although the fuqaha' differed concerning it, those who said it is permissible do not have any reliable evidence. End quote.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa (15/316)
அவர் மேலும் கூறியது (32/110):
Marriage to a zaaniyah is haraam unless she repents, whether it was he or someone else who committed zina with her. This is undoubtedly the correct view, and it is the view of a number of the earlier and later generations, including Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others.
This is what is indicated by the Qur'aan and Sunnah. The most well-known text concerning that is the verse in Soorat al-Noor where Allaah says (பொருள் விளக்கம்):
In the Sunnah, there is the hadeeth of Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi and 'Anaaq. End quote.
The one who is faced with this problem and who did a marriage contract before repenting has to repent to Allaah and regret what he did, and resolve not to commit this sin again, then he should do the marriage contract again.
மற்றும் Allaah சிறந்த தெரியும்.

Headtracking, motion controls and visual fidelity usually dominate the conversation about what makes for an "immersive" virtual reality experience, but great sounding audio is every bit as important -- that's why the Oculus Rift ships with built-in headphones. The on-ear speakers are more than adequate for a good VR experience but at Oculus Connect 3, the company announced an alternative that might be just a little bit better: the Oculus Rift Earphones. I got my hands on a pair before leaving the developer conference, and I can say that Oculus' confidence in the earbuds is justified: these things sound pretty great.
It's mostly a triumph of design. The Rift's standard headphones sound fine, but as an on-ear solution, they're subject to noise pollution. In-ear headphones are simply more isolating, blocking more outside noise and lending a more immersive experience to VR by default -- which make the Oculus Earphones perfect for Rift users looking for a more intimate sound experience. I took a pair to the Superhot demo booth at Oculus Connect 3 (Oculus is giving a pair to every attendee), and convinced the developers to let me install them on the demo station's Rift. Installation is easy -- a single screw holds each headphone in place, which snap on with magnetic connectors.
The earbuds look a little silly dangling off of the bottom of a Rift headset, but they sound great -- the soft silicone earbuds fit comfortably in my ears, and blocked out almost all outside noise. It was perfect for the VR experience, but a little detrimental to the demo experience: every time Superhot's developer tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention, I jumped. I had no idea he was even there! The buds were quite loud, too; we had to reduce the game's volume by about half before I was comfortable.
As great as the Oculus Rift Earphones sound, they do present one problem -- they're a very personal audio device. Yes, earbuds sound great, but they're also one of the few peripherals we put inside a part of our body. Unless you're comfortable sharing earwax with strangers, it makes the Rift unshareable. Still, if you're the only person in your household who uses the Rift (or you don't mind uninstalling them for other users), they could be a great accessory.

Sulina () is a town and free port in Tulcea County, Northern Dobruja, Romania, at the mouth of the Sulina branch of the Danube. It is the easternmost point of Romania.

History
During the mid-Byzantine period, Sulina was a small cove, and in the 14th century, a Genoese port inhabited by a handful of sailors, pirates and fishermen. In the 18th century, the Ottomans built a lighthouse there in order to facilitate communication between Constantinople (Istanbul) and the Danubian Principalities, the main breadbaskets for the Ottoman capital.

Thanks to the signing of the Treaty of Adrianoupolis (Edirne) on September 2, 1829, that unfettered the Danube grain trade, Sulina, by then under Russian control, became an important port. Great sailing boats could not sail fully loaded to Brăila and Galați, which were the main export centres of Wallachia and Moldavia, because of the shallow waters of the river; therefore, they had to tranship at least part of their cargoes to smaller riverboats (shleps). The owners and crew of these shleps were almost always Greek.

Even greater development occurred after the signing of the Treaty of Paris (1856), which ended the Crimean War. One of the treaty's terms determined the establishment of the Danube European Committee(C.E.D.), which would conduct infrastructure works on the mouth of the river in order to make it floatable for larger ships as well. The technical works allowed entrance to the Danube for a great number of "foreign", i.e. non-Greek ships, leading to a higher level of competition. River faring, however, largely remained in Greek hands. The declaration by the Ottoman administration of Sulina as a free port in 1870 also boosted its development.

The Russo-Ottoman war of 1877–1878 led to many changes as well. The city was initially put under Russian control and after the signing of the Berlin Treaty was annexed to Romania, as was the whole Dobrudja area. According to a 1878 estimation, the town then had a total population of 800, consisting of 350 Greeks, 150 Turks, 50 Romanians, 50 Russian Old Believers and 200 others. During World War I the city served as base for the Romanian cruiser Elisabeta, whose actions kept the mouths of the Danube under Romanian control throughout the war.

In November 1916, the German submarine UC-15 was sent on a minelaying mission off Sulina and never returned, being sunk by her own mines. This was probably caused by an encounter with the Romanian torpedo boat Smeul, whose captain surprised a German submarine near Sulina in November 1916, the latter reportedly never returning to her base at Varna. This could only be UC-15, whose systems most likely malfunctioned after being forced to submerge in the shallow waters, upon encountering the Romanian torpedo boat.

In World War II, the Soviet M-class submarine M-59 was sunk by mines laid off Sulina by the Romanian minelayers Amiral Murgescu, Regele Carol I and Dacia.

Demographics

According to the 2011 census, 82.82% of the population were Romanians, 11.43% Lipovans, 1.8% Greeks, 1.29% Ukrainians and 2.3% of other or undeclared ethnicity. At the 2002 census, 93.0% spoke Romanian and 5.7% Russian as their first language. 94.3% were Orthodox and 5.1% Old Believers.

At the 1930 census, 47.2% were Romanians, 20.8% Greeks, 17.7% Lipovans, 3.3% Serbs, 3.0% Turks, 1.6% Jews, 1.0% Germans and 5.4% others.

Notable people

A cat is a dog is a mouse is a monkey. As we all know, one species of animals does not define all animals; the same is true for monitoring systems. Network monitoring is a broad term, and there is no accepted taxonomy of the different kinds of monitoring systems. For most people, a monitoring system is a central piece of software that collects data from devices (whatever they publish) and in turn does something with that data. That specific type of monitoring system does not define all monitoring systems, just as not all animals are cats as our analogy mentioned earlier.
This category catches what most people think of when they hear the term "monitoring system". The system is based on centrally installed software that connects to devices over the management plane. Various protocols like SNMP or syslog, or even retrieval of logfiles, are used to get the management data from the devices. The focus of the monitoring software may differ: fault (alarm) management systems try to deduce if there is a fault somewhere that needs to be fixed, while performance monitoring systems compute long-term statistics and perform trending to spot utilization problems, like an overloaded link.
These systems are 100% dependent on the quality of the data that the devices present on the management plane. The devices are in most cases polled by the systems, and the time resolution of the data is in the order of minutes (typically in 5 or 15 minute intervals). Alarms and threshold crossings are commonly reported as they occur, for instance using SNMP notifications.
The data itself is limited to the context of a device and is for the majority mostly device-centric. Some of the data can be related to the link as seen from the device.
As the central software is heavily centered on the device assurance aspects, inferring end-to-end service health is extremely difficult. Attempts in this direction have been made by adding inventory/topology knowledge at the top and seeking mappings from device-centered data to service health. However, these attempts have had limited success. The same is true for attempts on alarm correlation.
Classical assurance systems need to be integrated with each management plane: MIBs, syslog payloads, etc. Therefore, these systems are heavily dependent on adaptors for each device type.
What can you measure? As stated above, the data is typically focused on, and limited to, the status of a device and its interfaces.
The assurance industry is now shifting its terminology and to some degree its technology compared to the scenario described in "Classical Monitoring". Increasingly, devices publish telemetry data over telemetry protocols. In basic terms this means that the devices push or stream the management data, rather than the management system polling for it. Furthermore, the management systems can more precisely specify which data and events they are interested in.
Such an arrangement enables finer granularity: the data points can be seconds rather than minutes apart. On the other hand, this means that the management system must handle much more data and requires a shift to big data technologies for storing and processing. Note carefully that this shift has purely to do with storage and processing technology; it does not affect data quality. The payload of the telemetry stream is the same as for classical assurance systems, it is simply the transport that differs.
What are called FM and PM systems in classical assurance systems are now called analytical systems. Basically, this is a new term for the same thing.
Telemetry systems need to be integrated with each telemetry interface, protocol and payload, therefore there is still a need for adaptors. Telemetry-based systems do not add any underlying principle creating a more service-aware system.
Most AI/ML-based systems fall into this category as well, with machine learning algorithms (mathematics) being used to analyze the streaming device-oriented data. Machine learning algorithms can be useful to categorize and filter resource-oriented data.
In contrast to the above tools, passive probes sit on the data plane: they listen to the actual traffic and capture the packets. They are not dependent on what is published in the management plane. Passive probes need to be located centrally on the network, or in the data center, to study the data center traffic. The probes can calculate statistics on the distribution of protocols, the number of failed logins, etc. A serious challenge for passive probes going forward is the steadily increasing use of encryption, which breaks the capabilities of passive probing.
Passive probes are useful as after-the-fact tools. They are helpful in elucidating why there was a problem in the past, and sometimes why a specific user had issues. However, by definition they cannot be proactive since they depend on the current user traffic. They also see the network from a central point, not from the point of service usage.
Unlike classical or telemetry-based solutions, passive probes do not need any specific device integration since they connect on the data plane.
With passive probes the data is not focused on individual devices but rather the actual traffic that flows from users or applications. You can get an understanding of traffic patterns, load and statistics from the data-plane as monitored from the central location.
Active test and monitoring uses traffic generators placed at strategic locations in the network. These generate synthetic traffic on all layers: UDP and TCP sessions, VoIP calls, DNS requests, etc. In this way the system will calculate service KPIs directly. Since the traffic is synthetic, there is no issue with encryption or confidentiality of real user data. The traffic generators can also interact with standardized reflection in existing devices, like TWAMP. Active monitoring systems can attain a high degree of precision with hardware timestamping and real throughput tests at line speed.
A challenge for active test systems is the management of the traffic generators; in old-fashioned systems these where hardware-based and expensive, while in modern systems they are pure software with only a small footprint, and the management system orchestrates the traffic generators.
Since an active assurance system sends traffic continuously, it is proactive: for example, it can tell beforehand that VoIP calls will be bad and trigger proactive remedying actions. The constant traffic is also stored in order to enable reactive/historical analysis.
It is very important to understand that each traffic generator acts as a client on the network: it gets an IP address and sends traffic like an end user, as instructed by the management system.
Active systems do not depend on inventory or topology systems to calculate service KPIs. This is because its packets are routed by the network like any other packets, and the management system does not need to map individual device KPIs to a service topology. There is also no need for adaptors, since the traffic generators sit on the data plane.
And Which Pet Do I Need?
As the analogy describes above, the cats are the same species with very little differences as classical and telemetry-based solutions are essentially the same except for some underlying technology and terminology. You need these to monitor your infrastructure. Passive probes, the sheatfish, will help you analyze what is going in the network and conduct some post-mortem analysis. But in order to focus on what matters for customers – "Is my service working?" – you need active assurance, the bumble bee. This is also the only way to capture problems before customers and users are impacted.
We see how most organizations are making unbalanced investments in the assurance space, with excessive research efforts being directed towards classical and telemetry-based solutions. In order to be proactive and focus on the services that relate to users and customer experiences, it is imperative to invest more in active systems.

Builders merchanting group Grafton has ditched its outlets in Poland but remains interested in expanding its geographic footprint in Europe, according to chief executive Gavin Slark.
The group is also opening three more 'Chadwicks Express' outlets in Ireland this year, a move designed to take advantage of the gradual increase in housebuilding around the capital. More such outlets could be opened depending on how the initial stores perform.
Shares in the FTSE-250 company raced ahead as much as 10pc yesterday after it reported record revenue of £2.5bn (€2.88bn) for 2016 and a 12pc jump to £142m (€164m) in its adjusted operating profits. The performance of its builders merchanting businesses in Ireland and the UK surged. Group revenue was 13pc higher and the results were better than expected.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Mr Slark, pictured, confirmed that the group had sold its two Polish outlets to management there.
He said that while any return to the Polish market was a "long way off", general expansion within Europe was "very much part of the plan".
Grafton generated about 70pc of its revenue and profits in the UK last year. It owns chains there including builders merchanting business Selco, for which it has significant expansion plans. It incurred a £19.7m exceptional charge last year – £16.1m of it related to the closure of 47 of its plumbing, heating and contracts branches in the UK.
In late 2015, Grafton agreed to buy Dutch firm Isero, a specialist distributor of tools and fixings, for €91.5m. It contributed £9.1m in operating profits to Grafton last year. Last January, Grafton acquired Guners en Meuser, an ironmongery and tools firm with 14 outlets in the greater Amsterdam area.
Mr Slark said that while the Netherlands offered expansion potential for Grafton via organic growth and further acquisitions, Grafton was also poised to benefit from the improving economy in Ireland.
Its merchanting business here – which operates under Chadwicks and Heiton Buckley – posted revenue of £347.7m last year, a 12pc increase on a constant currency basis. Operating profits at the unit rose 27pc to £27.1m on a constant currency basis.
There will be a total of four Chadwicks Express outlets this year. Grafton's merchanting network in Ireland will hit 47 branches, 20 of them around Dublin.
Grafton's retail arm – which trades as Woodies DIY – also performed strongly, notching up a 5.6pc increase in revenue to £157.1m on a constant currency basis. Operating profits at the chain were 91pc higher at £7.3m on a constant currency basis.
Twelve Woodies outlets have been refurbished and eight more are also in line for a makeover. One of the focuses for the revamped outlets is kitchen sales.
Mr Slark said since the kitchen business was introduced 18 months ago "thousands" of kitchens had been sold by the Woodies chain.
He also said the UK economy remained resilient despite the prospect of Brexit.

He did amazingly well considering the show started at 7:30 and lasted for almost 2-hours. Not once did he complain or ask to leave. Quite the contrary, for most of the songs he tapped his toes, pretended to play drums or simply sat and watched intensely.
As we took our seats near the front of the hall, I noticed nervous looks from the older couple seated next to us, no doubt thinking "great, our peaceful night out is ruined, thanks to this kid." However, at the intermission, the gentleman asked how old Carter was. He commented on how well behaved he was and that he'd never dream of bringing his grand-kids of similar age.
The program couldn't have been planned any better. There were enough pieces he was familiar with to keep his attention and with Star Wars being the final piece, we counted down the songs until it was time for his favorite.
The program only listed Star Wars as the final selection, so there were a few puzzled looks when the orchestra started when they began playing Leia's theme. There was a small break between Leia's theme and the Star Wars Main Title. For a moment, I was afraid they weren't going to play it.
The Main Title theme got the biggest response from the mostly over 40 crowd, but I was the least impressed by this piece live. Not the orchestra's fault, they were flawless. It just seemed like a constant march or pounding. Not enough subtlety or pauses to appreciate what was happening.
When the Main Title theme was done, Carter was ready to go and had started walking to the end of the row after the applause died down. He stopped dead in his tracks and began grinning from ear-to-ear when he heard the first few bars from the Imperial March (Darth Vader's theme).
Overall, it was an excellent show. It was the first time I had heard many of those songs in a live setting. Jaws was probably the biggest surprise. I love the movie (and the music), but the impact that piece of music has in a live setting is amazing. Every orchestra member seems to be playing something different. Notes are out of harmony. The increase in in tempo. It all builds an amazing amount of tension.
There was one bad thing about the evening, the audience. It was a sizeable crowd, but there should have been many more people there. If I had to guess, the majority of the audience was over 40-50 years old, with only a few children (less than 10) in attendance. That's just sad. Something like this was perfect for families wanting to introduce their kids to something other than typical music on the radio.
Thankfully, the new season for the Murfreesboro Symphony is about to begin and they've got a similar performance planned showcasing music inspired by literature. If you're in the Middle Tennessee area, it's a great, inexpensive night out. Keep checking the Murfreesboro Symphony web site for the updated 2008-2009 schedule.


Although the exact origins of the cave are uncertain, it is believed to have been built as place for spiritual meditation. One folklore relates that it was created by the fingernail of the legendary giant Kebo Iwa. However, examining its style, the sanctuary was probably dated from the 11th century Bali Kingdom. The complex contains both Hindu and Buddhist imagery, as the cave contains lingam and yoni, symbol of Shiva, and the image of Ganesha, while by the river there are carved images of stupas and chattra, imagery of Buddhism.
The cave was rediscovered by Dutch archaeologists in 1923, but the fountains and bathing pool were not discovered until 1954.
The temple is characterised by menacing faces that are carved into the stone - who's purpose is assumed to be the warding off of evil spirits. The primary figure was once thought to be an elephant, hence the nickname Elephant Cave. Other sources state that it is named after the stone statue of the Hindu God Ganesh (characterised by having the head of an elephant) located inside of the temple. The site is mentioned in the Javanese poem Desawarnana written in 1365. An extensive bathing place on the site was not excavated until the 1950s. To reach the entrance of the cave, you need to walk down a long flight of stairs. There is not an accessible entrance. The inside of the temple is small and usually has trails of white smoke from the incense burning. Visitors wearing shorts will be issued a sarong to tie around the waist before entering the courtyard. The complex also contains 7 statues of women (out of which 1 is destroyed due to earthquake) holding water pitchers that depicts seven holy rivers of India; Ganga river, Sarasvati River, Yamuna river, Godavari River, Sindhu River, Kaveri river and Narmada river.
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on October 19, 1995, in the Cultural category.

Scotch Plains Native Inspires Children to Help Others
By JENNIFER GLACKIN
For The Leader/Times
SCOTCH PLAINS — He did it! James Leitner, a Scotch Plains native, ran 30 miles every day for 30 days and raised $36,000 for his non-profit, MissionCleanWater, surpassing his original goal of $30,000.
According to the World Health Organization's website, 2.2 billion people worldwide make daily trips to acquire or do not have access to safe, clean water. A total of 1.4 billion water-insecure people travel 30 minutes round trip to bring clean water to their homes or schools, while 206 million journey farther distances each day. Another 579 million people get their water from unprotected sources. Many of these people are women and children, said Mr. Leitner.
Since forming his organization, Mr. Leitner has taken on symbolic challenges to bring awareness to this plight and fund sustainable solutions. While trying to design fundraisers and tell the stories of these individuals and communities, Mr. Leitner said he learned "long-distance is the best way to symbolize what people go through every day to get clean water for their families." In 2016, he ran a marathon every month to symbolize the amount of miles some families walk each day for water. In 2017, he walked 3,250 miles from New Jersey to California while pulling 10 gallons of water, to represent the distance a child will walk in a year to get clean water.
For his latest 30 miles in 30 days challenge, Mr. Leitner raised money for St. Elizabeth's Girls' School in Mityana, Uganda. Mr. Leitner runs 30 miles in approximately six hours, which correlates to the six hours per day the students of St. Elizabeth's travel to and from their clean water source to bring drinking water to their fellow students, missing three to four classes per day. A closer sanitary water source will allow the girls more time in the classroom to further their education.
Mr. Leitner's latest undertaking has inspired a group of students from Cranford. These local children each pledged to run one mile a day for 30 days. "I am personally motivated by what they are doing," said Mr. Leitner. "I don't know if I would have done something like that in third grade."
Alissa Sojka, the parent who organized the fund-raising effort on Facebook, told The Westfield Leader, "I think what James does is very important and beneficial not only for the kids in Uganda, but also for our kids! Having an example of a young adult who chose to take a lead in such a challenging project is a great inspiration for the kids." The "Kids Run 30 Miles for MissionCleanWater" group has grown to include more than 30 children ranging in ages from 6 to 10. Their original goal was to raise $2,500, but as of Tuesday, the kids had raised $3,000.
Tyler Bigelow, a rising fourth grader from Cranford, said, "I am inspired by James because he likes to help people. I really like to help people, too." He continued, "I hope our efforts really pay off and inspire others to do the same!" Mr. Leitner joined the group for a daily mile in mid-July, and Ms. Sojka said the kids were excited to wear their team shirts for the final mile on July 30.
Fund-raising efforts for the 30-day challenge surpassed the $30,000 goal on July 25 and the project at St. Elizabeth's is already underway. The MissionCleanWater team met with St. Elizabeth's faculty on July 24, and began flushing the nearby wells to check their suitability last week, according to MissionCleanWater's Facebook page.
"Roughly 60 percent of clean-water projects completed globally are no longer working," Mr. Leitner told The Leader. The reason for this, according to MissionCleanWater's website, is that, "Projects are implemented too quickly, without proper consultation and coordination with local communities." Mr. Leitner's organization approaches its projects differently. He said, "As a non-profit organization, we are working to develop new project sustainability models to see longer success in water sanitation and hygiene projects.
While Mr. Leitner's latest challenge ends today, the water problem people face around the world does not. Anyone interested in donating or wishing to start their own fundraiser can reach out to Mr. Leitner and his team through their website, missioncleanwater.org.

Irish Eligibility
August 27, 2018 September 20, 2018 Cian McGibneySoccer
So we have here again after 3 senior caps in non competitive friendlies , Declan Rice the West Ham player who has been capped at each level by the Republic Of Ireland since Under 16 level and is now in the words of Martin O Neill " Deliberating his international future" after some overtures from England , the country of his birth.
It's a funny thing of course given that England finish fourth at this Summer's World Cup and hey presto we are back talking about another player who doesn't know where his loyalty lies. From Declan Rice's perspective he has amble time to say no thanks to the Republic Of Ireland an work to gain selection for England but after 3 caps in three friendlies his debut in March and two caps in May.
Now conveniently, he is deliberating his future. He should not have the choice at this point to decide where his International career lies. The FAI have been here before with Jack Grelish , but at least he declined a call up in the hope of a call up by England.
Here we are again on the eve of the Nations League starting up and the focus in the aftermath of a squad announcement we are back talking about a player that is questioning his commitment to the cause. He can of course still turn out for England as his three caps came in three friendlies at not in a World Cup qualifier in that case his eligibility would not be in question.
This situation is happening far too often, with Liam Kelly the full back and Jack Grelish both declining call ups and the slight difference being that Rice has 3 caps. What do the FAI do in this situation, do they just cut him adrift, or do they wait for his decision or do they be bold and call him up anyway and force his hand either way.
The FAI and Martin O Neill need to do what is best for the squad as a whole and cannot be held to ransom by a player who may or may not turn out in the green of Ireland again, the jersey is supposed to be hard earned and cherished by the player in possession of said jersey.
Why Declan Rice didn't just decline a call up earlier this year is a mystery if he felt so strongly drawn to pulling on an England jersey. Yes he is only 19 with still to be proven talent on a consistent basis. He will get plenty of stick from people over this situation and will need those who advise him to be very clear in how they handle this situation.
FIFA and UEFA need to clear up these rules and make it very clear to any player that if you represent a country in a friendly then that will tie you to that country in a competitive fixtures aswell and not have this grey area where you be capped in a friendly and still change allegiance afterward.
For now though it is important to focus on the squad that was selected for the Welsh game and the preparations for that game on September 8th. It is important we start the Nations League in the correct manner…..
Cian Mc Gibney
The Season Ahead 2018/2019
August 21, 2018 September 20, 2018 Cian McGibneyRugby
The Provinces Season Ahead
So the 2018/2019 season is just around the corner with all four provinces currently in pre season action with Leinster the current Pro 14 and Champions Cup holders completing their 2 game schedule last Friday where they faced Newcastle Falcons and were beaten 42-17. They travelled to Montauban the previous week and held on for a narrow 18-17 win.
Senior Coach Stuart Lancaster has already admitted that both games have shown up the Leinster defence and he was not pleased having conceded a large number of tries late last season and in this pre season period.
With no game until they open there campaign away to Cardiff Blues on August 31st they can work on their defence and other aspects of their game plan that they may feel needs to be sharpened before that opening fixture.
How can Leinster achieve more than they did last year having won in Europe and in the Pro 14. The drive for 5 in Europe is well and truly alive now and Leo Cullen along with Stuart Lancaster will want to drive the standards further and further and achieve more and more. Bettering oneself must be high on the priority list.
Of course the chance of new young players stepping up to the mark is a real distinct possibility with guys like Harry Byrne and Will Connors and Caelan Doris hoping to get an early chance to show what they can do in the early weeks of the new campaign.
From a Leinster perspective, if they retain one of their trophies that will be seen as another success but you can be sure they will be hell bent on keeping a hold of both Pro 14 and the Champions Cup. Roll on the new campaign. My prediction for Leinster will be another Pro 14 win but they may lose the Champions Cup as I feel they will only get to a Semi Final.
Munster have invested in there playing group adding Tadgh Beirne , Neil Cronin , Mike Haley and Arno Botha. Those four players have been added to an already improving squad where Johan Van Graan has had a full pre season to get his ideas across to the group of players he will work with this year. Munster played in two Semi Finals last season and will really need to find the key for success to get past a Semi Final and get back to competing in Finals. My prediction for Munster will be that they will get to a Pro 14 Final and a bold prediction that they will get to a Champions Cup Final…
Ulster have Dan Mc Farland on board after the IRFU paid compensation to the SRU to have him released from his contract to take up his new role. The signing of Billy Burns could be hugely exciting for all in the Ulster set up along with all in the Irish set up as he is Irish qualified.
Will Addison is another Ulster addition who has already spent time in the Irish set up down in Australia and will hope now that some good early performances for Ulster will bring him into contention for an Irish squad place for the November Internationals.
My prediction for Ulster will be a Pro 14 Play off place and maybe with a strong start a knock out spot in the Champions Cup.
Connacht of course have a new coach in Andrew Friday and he will hope that he can bring back the good times to all involved with Connacht rugby after the Pro 12 win two season ago. Kieran Keane came in last year and tried to implement a new game plan that the Chiefs had brought in and that helped them win a Super Rugby title in 2013. It didn't work out too well for Kieran Keane and he was sacked at the end of last season after only winning 7 games in the Pro 14 last year. Although the Challenge Cup challenge was ended by Gloucester, Connacht will feel that a successful Challenge Cup campaign could help them with domestic matters. My Prediction for Connacht will be a Challenge Cup Semi Final and maybe a Pro 14 play off place as well.
With a World Cup in late 2019, many players will think that they can put up some good performances to force Joe Schmidt into some squad changes as the November Internationals come along followed by the 2019 Six Nations. This is the year to put your hand up and be counted to maybe just maybe gain a spot in the plane to Japan…..

The phrase "set in stone" didn't mean very much to me until recently when my Mum's headstone was put up. It was only then it really set in that you can't turn the clock back and get her back. Mum of course passed away in 2016 at the age of 49.
It is only when the subject of the headstone came up that I really began to think of what the saying " Set In Stone" meant. When the book containing the different types of headstones and wording was produced I braced myself for the task at hand and between the 3 of us we came up with the wording which would adorn her headstone for future generations of the family and her friends of course.
It truly only is when you have to do that job yourself of picking a headstone and then the wording to follow you really get a taste of the finality of the whole situation.
For me though I was able to draw a line in the sand because as many people will know I was extremely close to Mam and that week in September 2016 changed the way I look at life and the way I approach situations.
I do feel it was easier to take a first look at the completed headstone because I am still at home and was fully immersed in the whole job from start to finish. It has been a testing two years for my family.
Looking to the future, we can now give out to a headstone if so wish also we can tell her about different things happening in our lives. Life is defiantly different now but all we can do is adjust and see where that will take us.
Mam's 2ND anniversary Mass takes place on Saturday 8th of September at 6pm…..
Weekend Sport Review
August 6, 2018 September 20, 2018 Cian McGibneyOther Sport
What weekend of sport we have witnessed with numerous Irish sports stars in action across many sports. Whether it was athletics, GAA, football, hockey and any other sport that took place this weekend, you would have been well catered for.
Hockey has burst into the public conscience over the last few weeks with the terrific performances of the Irish team in England at the World Cup. The display of Graham Shaw's squad has brought much needed attention to another minority sport.
The march to the World Cup Final was made all the more special by the fact that the squad are amateur and are in day jobs or they are in college. Like many amateur sides they make many unknown sacrifices to make their dreams possible.
In Game 1 they defeated the USA 3-1 and got there campaign off to the best possible start from there they beat India 1-0 and in the Final group game they were beaten by the World Cup host's England 1-0. In the quarter final they beat India 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw, in the semi final they defeated Spain 3-2 on Penalties after an exciting 1-1 draw. Then cue massive celebrations, Ireland made a first ever World Cup Final in any sport male or female.
This is unfortunately where the fairytale results ended with the Netherlands crushing Ireland 6-0 in the Final to win a ninth World Crown. This of course should not take away from what has been a great two weeks for this team.
They came into this tournament dreaming of some big results and stunning some of the so called bigger nations, they did that and more over the last two weeks. The questions of funding and other issues will be highlighted over the coming days with large amounts media coverage from home and abroad.
Let's hope that the decision makers at Sports Ireland will now sit up and take note of the achievements and at least this may now put there issues to the powers that be and they may just be able to air some grievances. The last two weeks has put the sporting imbalance back to the forefront of people's minds.
Of course the European Championships are taking place since last Friday in Glasgow and Berlin, they will continue until this Friday. 7 sporting organisations have come together to make this Championship work. It is another chance for our athletes to win medals. Shane Ryan won European bronze in the Pool over the weekend, The O Donovan brothers won European silver in the double skulls.
Over the last few days, many Irish athletes have achieved what they set out to achieve along with the Hockey side who will admit while they would have hoped to achieve certain goals they certainly did that and more by winning World Silver.
Looking to the next few days our athletes will get ready for track action and they will hope to make in impact like the hockey side has just done. It is now defiantly time for the so called "minority" sports in Ireland to rise up and make a statement of intent for the future…..
The weekend belongs to the Hurlers of Galway , camogie players of Tipperary and Galway , the Hockey stars who won Silver in London , the O Donovans who also won Silver and Shane Ryan who won Bronze in the swimming pool… These are the moments in sport we as followers dream of so drink it in, because these days are few and far between….
Aoife Mahony – American Dream
August 1, 2018 September 20, 2018 Cian McGibneyAthletics
Local athlete Aoife Mahony will begin the trip of a lifetime in the next few weeks when she takes up an opportunity in the USA. After spending the last year in UCC, Aoife will now travel to Florida to take up a 4 year scholarship where she will train along with studying Social Work.
Her training will take place at 6am each morning after which she will attend strength and conditioning sessions and then head off to spend a few hours in lectures. Aoife competes in a number of disciplines namely the 400m, 800m, 1500m and Cross Country running also where she will concentrate on the 5km. Her preference is the 800m.
One of her main goals over the next few years will be to qualify for an Ireland Under 23 team as her days as juvenile athlete are coming to an end. She hopes that the next few years will help her achieve this ambition.
She hopes to help her new College into the Division 2 NCAA Finals. This particular goal will be difficult to achieve but you can be certain that Aoife will do her all to achieve this goal.
One of her hopes for the future may be to come home and join An Garda Siochana on the completion of her 4 years in the USA. This is a backup plan for Aoife if things do not work on the athletics front.
Having made contact with former Irish athlete Laura Tobin, who herself is in the US in her final year studying Business in Saint Leo University Tampa Florida.
This connection helped Aoife put some plans in place where she also made contact with her coach Kent Reiber with whom she finalised arrangements and she also used Facetime to keep him abreast of her college work, training schedules and results throughout the year.
All the very best to Aoife in her time State side and having kept a close eye on her progress in the last 18 months , You can be sure Aoife will give this opportunity her very best shot…..

Lianas of the Guianas (Part Suriname)
Latest version published by The National Herbarium of Suriname (BBS) on Mar 4, 2019 The National Herbarium of Suriname (BBS)
Lianas (woody vines) are iconic symbols of tropical forest ecosystems around the world. Forest climbers take advantage of the biologically expensive architecture of trees to gain relatively inexpensive access to the light-rich canopy. The evolution of a climbing habit has occurred in many unrelated plant groups using twining and clasping shoots or specialized structures such as tendrils, hooks, spines, adhesive roots, and novel stem anatomy. In recent decades, the significance of lianas to tropical forest diversity (more than 25% of species and woody stems), carbon sequestration, and forest gap dynamics has been increasingly recognized. Although they are often considered pests in commercial forestry, woody climbers are important to many traditional peoples as medicines, subsistence fibers and non-timber forest products. Lianas also provide many benefits to wildlife, including aerial walkways, food, nesting sites and shelter. Largely due to the inaccessibility of their flowers and fruits, lianas and other climbers remain among the most poorly known life-forms in the tropics. The specimens presented in this dataset were collected as part of a research project on lianas and other climbing plants initiated by an NGO – The Amazon Conservation Team – Suriname. The purpose of the project was to document and advance understanding of woody climber diversity in the forests of the Guiana Shield region. The project resulted in the 2017 publication of a book, The Lianas of the Guianas: a guide to woody climbers in the tropical forests of Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname - written by Bruce Hoffman and Sofie Ruysschaert with contributions from Mark Plotkin, Frits van Troon, and Joerie Zwerts. Approximately 55 families, 175 genera, and 400 more common species are described in the main text, with ± 1300 species (including herbaceous climbers) in a comprehensive checklist. The guide is intended for specialists and non-specialists with an image-rich format, simplified terminology, artistic icon guides, and common names and uses. The growth-forms covered include woody lianas, subwoody lianas, woody hemiepiphytes, and climbing shrubs.

Planned Aerospace & Natural Science Academy of Toledo now accepting applications
Recruitment has started for students who wish to attend the new Aerospace & Natural Science Academy of Toledo, slated to open for the 2018-2019 school year in a renovated building at Toledo Express Airport.
The District is now accepting applications for incoming students in the 9th through 12th grades. Click here to fill out an application: ANSAT application
Toledo Public Schools is not reinventing the wheel with its new school.
Instead, the District is combining two successful Career Tech programs – The Aviation Center and the Natural Science Technology Center – and adding core academic subjects that the students will take in a renovated building at the Toledo Express Airport.
There are plans to offer a Career Tech honors diploma, but the main impetus behind the creation of the Aerospace & Natural Science Academy of Toledo is to train students to be college and career ready for jobs in the growing fields of aviation and environmental science, sustainability and wildlife management.
The aviation industry, for example, anticipates a shortage of more than 113,000 aviation technicians over the next 15 years.
And, says Dr. Romules Durant, TPS superintendent/CEO, "Every year in August and September in northwest Ohio, we talk about the algae bloom. The kids in this school very well may be coming up with the solution to that issue."
The current Aviation Center is a three-year program that prepares students to become FAA-certified maintenance technicians and provides them with hands-on experience in a hangar located at the airport. They, and their counterparts at the Natural Science Technology Center, have split schedules – they travel to their home high schools for core classes and then travel again to their respective centers for individualized training and then back on the bus to their home schools for dismissal.
"This new academy, which includes core curriculum courses, will allow the Aviation Center students to spend their entire school day at the airport, eliminating long travel times during the day," says Paul Toth, president and chief executive officer of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. He adds the Port Authority is proud to partner with the TPS on this project. And the Natural Science Technology Center students will have the time they travel cut down considerably.
The new school will be housed in a 33,138-square-foot facility previously used to house simulators for flight training. The district has budgeted more than $4.6 million for renovations. This includes more than $1.6 million in building improvements, including such items as re-roofing and HVAC that would typically be the responsibility of the Port Authority, the building's owner. In addition to paying for the improvements, the district's ten-year lease deal includes zero rent for the first six years.
District officials are still finalizing staffing needs so there is not an overall operating cost at this point, but recruitment has started to enroll 300 students in grades 9–12. The academy is a true magnet school, with TPS administrators hoping to attract students from throughout northwest Ohio.
In addition to core subjects such as English, Math and Science, students will learn such necessary job skills as team-building, problem solving and innovation. Teachers will attend Professional Development sessions at the start of each school year so they are current on the latest industry practices.
Recruitment shouldn't be a problem, if Start High School sophomore Faith Brown is any indication. She had known she wanted to pursue some type of mechanical career but honed in on aviation after a trip to the current center.
"I didn't know I could be working on airplanes," she told The Blade newspaper the day of the announcement. "When I came here in eighth grade I was like, '… this is what I want to do.'"
The Port Authority is not the only Toledo-area organization wholeheartedly supporting the creation of the new academy.
Both Bowling Green State University and Owens Community College have pledged academic support. Students who enroll in the College Credit Plus program while at the academy can earn an associate degree through Owens and then have the opportunity to transfer to BGSU to earn a bachelor's degree only two years out of high school.
BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey says she is most proud that the collaboration is designed to help students continue their education without leaving northwest Ohio.
"The students will have opportunities to pursue coursework that will lead to degrees in aviation studies, engineering technology, environmental science and biology," she says. There will be a seamless pathway between the Aerospace and Natural Science Academy of Toledo and associate and bachelor's degree programs at the Firelands campus of BGSU and the school's College of Technology, Architecture, and Applied Engineering or the College of Arts and Sciences.
All of these plans will further Dr. Durant's ultimate goal: to have 90 percent or more of the district's Career Technology students secure a job, military assignment or higher education when they graduate from TPS. - Mary-Beth Matthews

Q: android orientation - issues with intents (camera) Here is an interesting one...
I have an application I am writing for devices running android 2.3.3 and above.
It has a main activity which calls the camera via an Intent.
If the user clicks a button to launch the camera; then takes a picture; then clicks "Done" to return to the main activity - the application works fine and displays the new picture in an imageview on the main activity.
however, if the user uses the main activity in portrait orientation; then clicks the button to open the camera intent and changes the orientation to landscape; then click done to return to the main activity - the application crashes
but then...however, if the user uses the main activity in portrait orientation; then clicks the button to open the camera intent and changes the orientation to landscape; then changes the orientation back to portrait (in the camera) before clicking done to return to the main activity - then the application continues to run normally.
Stuff I have tried:
I have changed the manifest file to force the application (main activity) to be oriented in portrait (I have also removed this)
I have added this line to the main activity in an attempt to handle the re-drawing of the activity on it return from the camera intent:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

In the debug window I get errors describing nullpointer exceptions - I think this is because the views are no longer there after an orientation change for the image to be passed into unless the orientation is the same as when it was left.
I'm a bit stuck so would appreciate some advice.

A: When your screen orientation changes, your Activity is destroyed and recreated in the new orientation. So any variables that gained a reference during the life of the Activity will no longer refer to anything, and if you then try to access objects they refer to without re-assigning them values, you'll get a NullPointerException.
The method onSaveInstanceState() is used to save temporary data between configuration changes. This creates a Bundle which is passed to onCreate() when the Activity starts up again.
Without any code, I don't know if that's your problem, but it's worth a look.
See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ConfigurationChanges for more information (and more accurate information than I've provided, no doubt).

A: hey i am not sure but try to put this property in manifest file hopefully it should work
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

A: Some Android devices like Samsung S3 and S4 have default camera surface view in Landscape mode.
When you call camera and capture image and come to your application, whether you had set orientation PORTRAIT it will first open in LANDSCAPE mode and then changes to PORTRAIT mode.
Its Android OS behaviour.
Due to this Activity Re-Creates it self. At that time you are getting Null Pointer Exception.
You can handle by setting configChanges in menifest file.
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"

and you can store the data temporary in onSaveInstanceState() rightly said by @Spinner in his answer.

Story: a guy wears like a superhero and trying to retrieve some memories from his childhood. Now a dangerous and madly adventure from the view of a kid started.
Day 1- sprites: Pranker, cat, fighting, minigame.
Day 3- backgrounds, game interface, some more sprites.
Day 4- climbbing system, rotary basic.
Hi, nice game. But how are you planning on incorporating rotation into this?
smitchell Thanks for your reply. The clouds above the charater will be the second platform, there'll be portals to rotate ground/sky, and only things that on collisioned with the portal would be affected by the new gravity(this will open some puzzle ideas).
Still a long way to make it real.
Didn't the competition state rotation must be the main functionality of the game? Meaning the game has to revolve some way around rotation?
"Every game must make use of the system 'Rotate layer' or 'Rotate layout' actions. It must be an important feature of the gameplay and not just added on as an afterthought."
Well, i have to use rotate layout action to swap the sky into ground. And the player must rotate the layout to complete the game, so i think that's enough for the competition's rules.
