lyrical, funny, and one really long one.
This was a journal entry from March 23, 2017. I really cannot explain it, but I woke up with those words rattling around in my head. It seemed an apt quote for this month's booklist that I have collected for you.
This month, I flew to Texas and back, so there was lots of uninterrupted reading time on the plane. I read my little heart out, but I also made a new friend who I am praying for as she and her husband and two adorables decide whether to move from Spokane, WA to Forth Worth, TX.
Often, once I find an author I enjoy, I go on to read everything they write. Last month I told you about The Glorious Dark, a book we read as a church family for Lent. This month, I tell you about "The Dusty Ones".
This is a book about our journey on the Christian walk of faith and those whose feet are dusty from the road. I hope my feet are dusty.
A.J says there is an art to wandering that needs to be cultivated. Wandering with God is a holy discipline.
"Salvation isn't God tinkering with our old life: rather it is God giving us a completely new one - one we never thought imaginable during our years in the old one. And such new life invites us into new spaces and places. Nor does God save his people directly or immediately into the promised land. God takes them along the twisting path.
"A wanderer has to learn how to rest."
I think my favorite chapter is one called "Walking" about how much Jesus taught while walking and how, even resurrected, he walked. He walked right on through walls.
This book was generously given to me by the author at a gathering of writers, but I would have bought it anyway. Living a restful and resurrected life is an art that needs attention and practice, at least in my life.
For my birthday this year, Mike gave me a gift card to a small local bookstore in the mountains near our home. As I always visit the writing section of any bookstore, new or used, I happened upon this one there. I had never read any of the author's other work, but I was intrigued.
Mary Karr is a writer, reader, poet and writing teacher who calls herself a "black belt sinner". I guess I had to read what she had to say just from those qualities.
Karr has a lot to say about geography and voice and good writers. The book ends with a list: Required Reading - mostly memoirs, but some hybrids, which I am just beginning to dig into. Watch for some of these to show up later in the year.
"The writer's best voice will grow from embracing her own "you-ness"."
I've heard that said other ways and it always rings true to me. I have found that the more brave I am in looking for how God made me and offering that craftsmanship back to Him, back to my family, my friends and my work, the more me-ness I bring to the world and interestingly, the more Savior-ness as well. Honestly, me-made-in-the-image-of-Christ (both my before and after resurrection) is the only part I can bring and ring true myself.
But these are not stagnant waters. If I tap the living waters then that stream is always bubbling up from another source. That process of becoming is taking my whole life.
I closed this book with a few practical tips on how to keep finding my own voice to tell my story in a way that enriches others and tells the bigger story. The world needs our gifts. Please bring yours to the picnic table.
I read this book on the recommendation of a friend and for a particular project I was working on at the time. It hit me right where I was wrestling out a difficult leadership role, one that takes both heart and hand to the work.
But this is Dr. Henry Cloud of Boundaries fame and so there was deep insight for my personal life as well as leadership. Of course the two are intertwined and that is what I was going for.
I cannot recommend it enough. Here is a short list of a few things I learned.
If you ever struggle with endings of any kind: gradual or sudden, natural or unnatural, ones you choose and ones that choose you, this is a book you will mark up and keep handy for both life and leadership. Life is full of endings. I get unstuck when I face reality. I am still absorbing how to do endings well.
I stumbled across this at my local library when I went look for her memoir, Wild: From lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail. Tiny Beautiful Things is a collection of writings from an online advice column called "Dear Sugar". No one knew it at the time, for it was written anonymously, but Sugar happened to be author Cheryl Strayed.
If you know Cheryl as the author of her memoir "Wild", (or the movie with Reese Witherspoon) you know she is a raw and honest writer about both the beauty and the beast in her life, sometimes shockingly so. This is not Ann Landers or Dear Abby.
This is a collection of letters from readers and Sugar's answers about relationships, grief and becoming a whole human being. I warn you, Cheryl's language is gritty, but will she will call you darling, honeybun and sweet pea and that will help you settle in for her answers. Besides, she really listens to her reader's pain first, before crafting an insightful answer. And then, breaking from advice column rules, shares from her own life. She has wrestled, really wrestled, with profound loss and grief, some at her own hands and some beyond, and come out the other side with love, hope and some hard-won wisdom.
I didn't always agree with her view on life, but I do love her heart and rugged honesty with hurting people. I have never thought we have to self-destruct to find ourselves, but there seems to be a universal process of pulling apart before being put back together again. The writing is good which is what I had gone in search of, and she taught me a few things that I can use in my own life and work.
(A little girl) will offer you one of her (purple) balloons, but you won't take it because you believe you no longer have a right to such tiny, beautiful things. You're wrong. You do.
It is an enchanting moment when a human being realizes their intrinsic worth. If you get to witness that moment even on the page, especially after witnessing the spiral downward, you realize it is sacred ground.
In your reading, don't forget to read outside of your usual circles to challenge yourself. You don't have to agree with everything the author writes, but you just might have more to bring to the world for the rub. Just make sure it is good writing with heart. Cheryl's is.
This little book is a sweet and sad parable of Brennan's own storied life told through the character of Willie Juan, an outcast boy in a poor Mexico village who meets the Man of Sorrows several times throughout his life. Each time Willie Juan feels he belongs to love a little more, yet he easily forgets that belonging love in the give and take of life.
It is a beautiful hardback book with a crazy quilt cover outside and a thread of hope inside, the grace and love of the Man of Sorrows in all seasons of a Ragamuffin's life. I cannot read Brennan Manning without being reminded that I am that Ragamuffin and God fiercely loves me.
He loves you too, sweet pea.

Extradition upheld for Desilets
Brian Eastwood / Daily News Staff
A Canadian court has upheld the Canadian Minister of Justice's decision to extradite the Rev. Paul M. Desilets, the former Assumption parish priest accused of molesting 18 altar boys between 1974 and 1984.
Worcester County District Attorney John Conte said in a statement that his office was notified by the federal Department of Justice Thursday that the Quebec Court of Appeals had made its decision.
"Father Desilets now has the right to appeal the Court of Appeals decision to the Canadian Supreme Court," Conte said in a statement. "He has until approximately March 11 to file his appeal."
Elizabeth Stammos, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said yesterday the office had no further comment.
Desilets, a priest of the Order of the Clerics of St. Viator, was arrested in Quebec in October 2002. Now 81, he moved to Canada after leaving the Bellingham parish in 1984.
The arrest followed a grand jury indictment on 16 counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years old, 10 counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older and six counts of assault and battery. Desilets will face these charges in Worcester Superior Court if he is returned to the United States.
Conte's office first submitted a request for Desilets' extradition Aug. 22, 2002.
Desilets appealed the extradition in early 2003 and again in June 2004. After the second appeal, Stammos said the Canadian Minister of Justice had between three months and one year to act on it.
Assumption parish, which closed last year, is located in the Archdiocese of Boston, but the town is located in Conte's district.
The district attorney's office has prosecuted 17 clergy abuse cases since the 1980s.
News of Desilets' possible extradition comes amid a report released yesterday by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops indicating that nearly 1,100 allegations of sexual abuse were made nationwide in 2004.
Although the "crisis of sexual abuse" is not over, Dr. Kathleen McChesney of the bishop group's Office of Child and Youth Protection said in a statement that the situation is improving.
"What is over is the denial that the problem exists, and what is over is the reluctance of the church to deal openly with the public about the nature and extent of the problem," McChesney said in the statement posted on the group's Web site.
The report stated that 93 percent of the nation's Catholic dioceses, including the Archdiocese, had made progress in responding to abuse cases, promoting healing and educating both priests and parishioners about signs of abuse.

It is one of the most interesting but underrated features of GRC Process Control: Automated Controls. In most companies an Internal Control System (ICS) is always associated with lots of work. The efforts for assessments are high, the coverage is poor and audits are usually troublesome.
Just recently a major German retail corporation (and client of ours) had the same issues. Moreover, the pressure was high from the last audit to initiate some changes. So how is GRC Process Control helping?
Automated Controls are also called Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) and come with every GRC Process Control. In order to make them work, tables and critical values have to be defined in the GRC system. By planning the controls to run as a job, they reach into the connected backend systems, pull the data from the pre-defined tables and perform a check for deficiencies.
Now whether it is value checks, change logs or events the possibilities are huge and even HANA databases and non-SAP systems can be connected. The controls can go from simple parameter checks to really complex checks on the accounting tables. For IT controls an example is a change log check on the profile parameter for the password length. If this parameter has been changed and the password length is lower than a certain number, an issue will be raised.
That means with automated controls it is possible to detect security holes and prevent fraudulent behaviour.
For our current client we have implemented a little over 60 automated controls and have rolled them out to more than 60 production systems. This results in 3600 less checks for the IT department and a massive return of investment for the whole corporation.
Aside from saving time and money, they were also getting reliance from their auditors after the project. So just by introducing automated controls, trust has immediately gone up for future audits. It is these kind of benefits, that make this feature so valuable for clients.
Since the IT controls can be applied to almost any other SAP system, this is just the first step and more controls and systems are to come. Are you interested in automating your controls as well? Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Q: Need Help Creating Query Layer From Oracle For Past 365 Days I have several Query layers that work fine for generic, long term date ranges such as:
This shows all entries that have the previous YEAR in the date field.
AND To_char(ds.calendar_date, 'YYYY') = To_char(( Extract(year FROM add_months(sysdate, -12)) ))

This shows all entries of previous 12 months as well as ALL of previous year
AND To_char(ds.calendar_date, 'YYYY') = To_char(( Extract(year FROM add_months(sysdate,-12)) ))
AND To_char(ds.calendar_date, 'YYYY') = To_char(( Extract(year FROM sysdate) ))

I need something that will show the previous 365 days.
I've tried using AND To_char(ds.calendar_date) >= To_char(sysdate-365) but I get nothing. I've done several iterations with (and without) the To_char operator but nothing does it. The sysdate-365 gives me records from 2004?! I feel like the answer is simple and it will be something along the lines of an ESRI / Oracle / Query layer oddity.

Database uses an object oriented design. As such, some commands in the Database package return modules. These modules export commands that comprise the majority of the Database package functionality.
Each module that is returned is an instance of a class. A class defines the commands that are exported by the module. A module of a class must export all the commands defined by the class.
The Database help pages use the following conventions.
- A package export is referred to using table notation, for example, Database[LoadDriver].
- An exported command of a returned module uses :- notation. The left-hand side of the :- is written using italic font, for example, Driver:-OpenConnection. The name on the left-hand side of the :- can be viewed as the class name, thus defining the exported commands of the module, or as a user-defined name for the returned module, thus providing an example calling sequence.
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard language that is used to manipulate data in databases. Without any SQL knowledge, you can use the Query Builder Maplet application to construct SQL queries. To query and update the database, use commands to execute SQL statements.
Although you do not need any SQL knowledge to use the Database package, a basic understanding of SQL helps you build queries. SQL tutorials are available on the Internet. Also, many books on SQL are available.
To connect to a database, you must load a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver. For information on installing a JDBC driver, see JDBC. The JDBC driver is loaded using LoadDriver. This returns a Driver module which represents the loaded driver.
A Driver module exports the command OpenConnection, which can be used to create a connection to the database. A login name, a password, and the location of the database are all required to open a connection. OpenConnection returns a Connection module. After establishing a connection, you can save it by using the Save command, so that you can easily reopen it by using the LoadConnection command.
Once the connection has been opened, the database can be accessed. Simple queries and updates can be executed using ExecuteQuery and ExecuteUpdate. However, for more complex queries, use a Statement.
You can also use the Query Builder Maplet application to construct SQL queries.
There are two kinds of statements. The basic Statement allows a string of SQL to be passed to the database. The string can be a query, an update or a combination of the two. These statements can be created by calling CreateStatement. The other kind of statement is a Prepared Statement. A Prepared Statement acts like a function call and allows data to be inserted into the SQL string on execution. For example, a Prepared Statement representing an insert can be used multiple times with different arguments to insert multiple data items into the database. A Prepared Statement module can be created using CreatePreparedStatement.
Statement and Prepared Statement modules export a command, Execute, which sends a SQL statement to the database. For a Statement, Execute takes the SQL string to be executed. A Prepared Statement takes the values to be inserted into its statement. A statement may generate multiple results. A result is either an integer, representing the number of updates performed, or a Result module, representing an SQL table. The first result is returned by the call to Execute. Other results can be obtained by calling NextResult.
A Result module represents an SQL table containing the rows selected by a query. To access these results, the Result module maintains a cursor which indicates a row in the table. The cursor can be moved using various commands, including Next, Previous and GotoRow. Data from the current row is accessed using the GetData command.
Some SQL data types are not easily represented in Maple, or they may be very large and so it is more convenient to access them in smaller pieces. To represent these cases, a DataInterface module is used. The current version of the Database package does not support many of the complex SQL data types (see compatibility). Therefore, currently the DataInterface module is used only for streaming character or binary types.
While Database attempts to be as platform and database independent as possible, there are still some compatibility issues. The issues page documents some known issues and workarounds for particular databases.
There is currently no direct support in Database for storing arbitrary Maple objects in a database. However, Maple objects can be stored by using sprintf to convert them to a string in ".m" format. These strings can then be stored in a database. To recover the Maple object, retrieve the string from the database and the convert it back to Maple using sscanf.
First create the driver module. This loads the JDBC driver and prepares to connect to the database. This returns a module, which you assign to the variable driver.
Using the module, driver, you can open a connection to the database. This returns another module that is assigned to connection.
You can use the ExecuteQuery export of connection to begin accessing data from the database. Since the SQL statement is a query, you will receive a Result module.
Step through the table, accessing the columns from each row.
Using a Prepared Statement, you can select individual rows based on the value in their id column without having to enter nearly identical SQL statements multiple times.
pstat ≔ connection:-CreatePreparedStatementSELECT id,name FROM dataTable WHERE id = ?
The value given to Execute is inserted into the SQL statement so this selects the row with id = 1.
The Prepared Statement can be reused with different data.

UW guard Traevon Jackson returns to practice
Genaro C. Armas
MADISON — Injured Wisconsin point guard Traevon Jackson has returned to practice, though it is still unclear whether the senior will be ready for the start of the NCAA Tournament.
Jackson has been out two months after breaking his right foot in a 67-62 loss on Jan. 11 at Rutgers.
Wisconsin (31-3) had a light practice on Tuesday, when Jackson participated in shootaround and individual drills. The top-seeded Badgers play Coastal Carolina on Friday night in their NCAA opener in Omaha, Nebraska.
Jackson said that he had been cleared, and that it would be up to him about when he feels ready to play. He said he felt about 90 percent.
Associate head coach Greg Gard said the team had to monitor Jackson through the week before determining what to expect.
"The best case scenario, he plays 30 minutes — not going to happen probably though," Gard said. "I think we just have to wait and see where he's at, what he feels like physically."
Jackson's replacement, Bronson Koenig, missed practice on Tuesday with an apparent minor illness. But the sophomore has played well overall starting for Jackson.
The Badgers are 16-1 since the injury, winning both the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles.
Any contribution from Jackson should lengthen coach Bo Ryan's bench, which has lacked scoring punch at times this year. Ryan also relied on Jackson in tight, late-game situations to take clutch shots.
Another senior guard, Josh Gasser, said he thought Jackson would return for the tournament opener. At the very least, Jackson's return to basketball activities gives Wisconsin an emotional lift.
"It's just a matter of me now. … Just one day at a time, just how I feel," Jackson said. "I'm not going back fully until I feel like 100 percent, but I am cleared."
Wisconsin is next scheduled to practice in Omaha on Wednesday.

'Sadness and anger': coastal towns scramble to secure water supplies
By Peter Hannam
December 10, 2019 — 6.17pm
Towns along the NSW coast from Bega to Tweed are facing dwindling water supplies as the drought saps usually reliable rivers and major dams drop at alarming rates.
Water Minister Melinda Pavey has also written to councils across the state urging regions to stocktake their needs, particularly "areas unfamiliar with severe drought".

Towns such as Bellingen, which has no dam but draws directly from the Bellinger River, are preparing to introduce small desalination units to ensure drinking water supplies are maintained.
Other towns, such as Gloucester, may end up tapping water from the eastern Stratford coal pit to supplement the lack of availability from other sources. The Manning River, for instance, has all but stopped flowing, locals such as Bruce Robertson have told the Herald.
James McTavish, the regional town water supply coordinator, said some areas would have to treat effluent from dairy farms or other wastewater to avoid draining supplies while others were busy drilling bores.
Towns of tight supply stretch from the Mid North Coast up to Tweed, he said.
"The stuff on the coast is quite concerning, particularly as we go into summer" and populations swell with holidaymakers, Mr McTavish said.
Dominic King, mayor of Bellingen, said his town was circled by fires and now had to cope with water supplies running low from a river that typically floods several times a year.
"There's a high level of anxiety, sadness and also a degree of anger," Mr King said, adding the nearby rivers were reporting the lowest flow rates on record.
Long stretches of the Manning River have become stagnant. Credit:Bruce Robertson
"We're seeing a real drop in visitor numbers – down 40-60 per cent from what they were a year ago," Mr King said.
His town is one of several that may install reverse-osmosis equipment to desalinate water. Adding in operation costs, the bill for a 2.5-megalitre-per-day plant could top $1 million over just three months, Mr King said.
The shire council, which declared a climate emergency in February, has also been angered by the ongoing logging in the region, even as the bushfires have destroyed large swathes of nearby forests, he said.
Water issues reach towns such as Kyogle in the north and Bega on the south coast as nearby dams report rapidly sinking levels.
The Toonumbar Dam near Kyogle is just 28 per cent full, down from 95 per cent at the start of the year, WaterNSW said.
The Brogo Dam near Bega is at 36 per cent, down from 100 per cent of capacity as recently as May.
"Both dams are in regions typically blessed with high rainfall and comparatively low demand for water released from these storages," WaterNSW said.
"But the intense drought gripping regional NSW has resulted in record low inflows into both dams and coincided with a surge in demand from downstream users."
In her letter, Minister Pavy said that "after a long year, we need to remain vigilant over summer to ensure that our communities receive the water services that they expect".
Councils should anticipate any surge in summer water use, enforce or tighten water restrictions and consider "what sacrifices might you have to make to ensure important social infrastructure remains open".

Testimony of Katie Kerstetter, Policy Analyst, DC Fiscal Policy Institute, At the Public Hearing on the FY 2009 and FY 2010 Budget Gap-Closing Strategies, District of Columbia Committee of the Whole
By Jenny Reed • July 24, 2009 • Income & Poverty / Revenue & Budget / TANF & Income Support
Good afternoon, Chairperson Gray and members of the Council. Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. My name is Katie Kerstetter, and I am a Policy Analyst with the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. DCFPI engages in research and public education on the fiscal and economic health of the District of Columbia, with particular emphasis on policies that affect low- and moderate-income residents.
I am here today to oppose the Mayor's proposal to save $6.2 million by cutting benefits for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients.[1]
TANF is a critical program, providing support to one-third of the District's children, including many families who lost jobs in the economic downturn. The Mayor's budget proposal would cut monthly cash benefits for these families if they do not meet requirements to participate in work activities – and for the first time in DC's history, could eliminate benefits entirely for some families.
The goal of these provisions is to encourage more TANF parents to prepare for employment, but the approach is seriously flawed. Rather than incentivize families to move toward work, the new penalties are likely to push vulnerable families deeper into poverty.
Evidence from states that have implemented similar policies shows that:
Sanctions do not increase compliance with work requirements. Studies of other states find that full-family sanctions do not lead to improved compliance, largely because the parents most likely to be sanctioned are those with the greatest personal problems and barriers to work. Sanctioned families tend to have lower levels of education than non-sanctioned participants, higher incidents of health related barriers to work – including mental health problems and domestic violence and have less work experience than non-sanctioned families.[2]
Sanctioning increases hardship for low-income families. The District's TANF benefit – $428 a month for a family of three – is already low compared with the city's high cost of living and benefits in other comparable cities. Lowering this amount will leave families with even fewer resources to meet their basic needs and will place low-income children in more desperate circumstances. Compared to TANF families who are not sanctioned, sanctioned households more often have trouble paying for rent, food, medical expenses, and utility bills.[3] Preschoolers and adolescents in sanctioned families are at greater risk for academic and behavior problems than children in non-sanctioned families.
Sanctioning reduces the percent of low-income children who are served by the TANF program. Other states have instituted practices, such as mandatory orientations and full-family sanctions, that have left many low-income families ineligible for TANF benefits. Nationwide, only 40 percent of families eligible for TANF receive benefits because states have chosen to adopt policies that restrict participation.[4]
The District's TANF program currently does a better job of covering poor children than many states and surrounding jurisdictions (see attached charts). In 2006 (the most recent data available), for every 100 children in poverty in DC, the District provided TANF benefits to 69 children. Nationally, for every 100 children in poverty in the U.S., only 27 children are served by states' TANF programs. The ratio is even lower in Maryland and Virginia: 24 children served in TANF for every 100 children in poverty. By adopting increased sanctions, the District is likely to see the number of poor children served by its TANF program decrease – leaving these children without a critical form of assistance.
The Council is being asked to approve a major policy change to the District's TANF program in a span of only two weeks, without opportunity for the public to comment on this proposal outside of the budget gap-closing process. Confronted with other major policy changes, such as the recent proposal to change the charter school facilities payment model, the Council has chosen to resolve these issues outside of budget deliberations. We recommend that the Council reject the Mayor's proposal, and instead, the Mayor and Council should work with TANF recipients, policy experts, and advocates to re-design the TANF program to provide services that truly help recipients gain the skills needed to leave welfare for work.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Q: Physics history book with some math I am looking for a book explaining physics from, say, Galileo and Newton till now;
the book should be written using some math, similarly to my physics books when
I was at the university (Halliday Resnik). I am searching a book that take care of explaining the true "evolution" of reasoning, discoveries, experiment to prove or disprove something.
I do not like a book that gives definitions without explaining what had happened.
I also like to find, on that book, explanations on how actual measurements are taken
(how can we measure the speed of light, the mass of celestial bodies, the attributes of electron, and how were the measurements taken in the past - how was possible to measure the speed of light in 1700-1800?).
I am not very interested in recent theories like strings, branes.... so it is OK if these are not discussed.
I like to find a lot of discussions on concept that are related, like for instance the implications on space dimensionalities, ether non-existence, strange facts, missing explanations.

A: Huygens and Barrow, Newton and Hooke by V. I Arnold.
I havent read it, but I am a fan of the author's writing style. He is a celebrated Russian Mathematician and also one of the most highly cited Russian Scientists. Road to reality (which Im currently reading) would also have been a good suggestion but its pretty much all about recent theories, which you're not interested in.

A: May I suggest "To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science" by S. Weinberg. Weinberg is a theoretical physicist, not a historian, and the focus of the book should meet your criterion. He starts with a guided tour of ancient Greek physics, after which he quickly moved to the scientific revolution in Western Europe during the Renaissance. Weinberg limits himself to astronomy and physics, which are his domain of expertise. Post-Newtonian physics takes the single last chapter, and it feels rather too terse, but he would have needed another book to cover the rise of quantum mechanics, relativity and their offspring, quantum field theory. It should also be noted that the math requested by the OP are separated from the main text, in technical notes gathered at the end of the book.

A: There are two books by Abraham Pais, which are both superb and use enough mathematics to convey the truth of the science.
The first, Subtle is the Lord, is a scientific biography of Einstein.
The second, Inward Bound, tells the story of the development of atomic and particle physics.  It covers roughly the epoch from Curie to Weinberg, stopping just short of Wilson.
Silvan Schweber's QED & the Men Who Made it is also very good and similar in flavor.
It should be noted that both books have a significant flaw, which is that they don't really discuss Ken Wilson's work.  Wilson explained renormalization, which is the physics at the core of quantum field theory.  Much of his predecessors concerns about infinities and the like resulted from doing the computations with unphysical intermediate quantities.  Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no scientific biography of Wilson.

A: The collection "A course in basic physics" from H. Moysés Nussenzveig is basically a basic physics book with the history as a bonus. Perhaps is what you are looking for. Some chapter focus more in history than others, but all of them have a little bit of the history and experiments behind the discovery.
The course has 4 volumes: Mechanics, Waves and Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Optics and Quantum Mechanics.
As for the math, it uses vector calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. The book itself is not mathematically rigorous, but it gives a much more mathematical treatment of the topics when compared to Halliday & Resnick, for example.


Habitat: Located in open woodland and forest regions along the Pacific slope of Mexico.
Diet in the Wild: Considered omnivorous feed on a large variety of foods including: fruits, berries, nuts, invertebrates, and small rodents.
The Black-throated Magpie Jay ia a beautiful large bird that has a blue body with a black throat and white chest. The tail is long and blue with some white tips. The head is black with a slight amount of blue on cheek area. This is a large bird measuring about 8 inches in body and another 13.5 inches for the tail. The weight is approximately 225 to 251 grams.
They will remain in a small family group between 5 to 10 individuals. The oldest pair in the group will act as the breeders while the others will serve as helpers in nest construction and feeding after the young are born.
The Magpie Jay will place its nest usually in a thorny tree at hights up to 100 feet. This will allow extra pretection from predators during the long nesting season from November to July. Also during incubation periods the female will not leave the nest.
A pair of black-throated magpie jays reside at the Fort Worth Zoo. The pair is located in Bird Row with a large corner cage. During visits the magpies can be seen sitting atop many perches within the cage making a variety of harsh, loud calls.

Q: Plotting two parallel charged plate configuration in Gnuplot I want to plot a parallel plate capacitor setup with plates at x = -1 and x = +1 lying in the yz plane. I have to then show the potential varying in between them and the vector plot of electric field.
How can I generate the solid plates in 3D?

A: I am not sure if Gnuplot is the best tool for this, nevertheless an approximation could be perhaps achieved with parametric plotting, where the x-coordinate is fixed and y/z are directly mapped to the u/v parameters:
set terminal pngcairo rounded font ",16"

set xr [-4:4]
set yr [-4:4]
set zr [-4:4]

set palette defined ( 0 "black", 1 "#666666" )
set pm3d at s
unset surface
unset colorbox

set isosamples 100

unset key

set parametric
set ur [-2:2]
set vr [-2:2]

splot \
    -1,u,v w l lc rgb '#333333', \
    +1,u,v w l lc rgb '#333333'

#or set larger ur/vr and use, e.g.,
#    -1,(u>-2&&u<2?u:1/0),(v>-2&&v<2?v:1/0) w l lc rgb '#333333', \
#    +1,(u>-2&&u<2?u:1/0),(v>-2&&v<2?v:1/0) w l lc rgb '#333333'

Q: Paypal - payment without account I need to integrate paypal into online store..
Requirements
 - All credit cards (secure) details should be inputed on PayPal site
 - User do not need paypal account
So there is couple ways of integration

*

*Standart IPN - when you redirect
user to paypal site and he use his
(or create new) paypal account and
than redirected back to site

*PayPal Payments Pro - user input his details including credit card number on my site(and I make payment using API)

But is there a way where I can redirect user to paypal site and he just input a credit card number and redirected back.. So user input just credict card number and that it is - he do not need a paypal account or fill any other fields.. Does it possible?

A: Stanard Paypal does offer you the ability  pay via credit card without a paypal account
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/general/OptionalAccount-outside

A: I am experiencing the same problem as you, and would like to put my findings on record. With Website Payments Standard, depending on which country your user selects, he/she may or may not need to create a PayPal account. These are the three most typical form submit buttons that he/she may encounter:
Case 1:
Review and Continue
No requirement to create an account
Countries: US, Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan
Case 2:
Continue
A so-called optional account is created for you, and you will need to register a PayPal account after 10 transactions.

You will only be able to use PayPal via PayPal Account Optional for up to [10] transactions before we will require you to open a PayPal
  account with PPEL to enable further use of the PayPal system. At that
  point you will be required to enter into our standard user agreement
  to govern the ongoing relationship with PayPal.

Countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, United Kingdom
Case 3:
Agree and Create Account
You must create a PayPal account to transact.
Countries: Albania, Algeria, China, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Vietnam

Although most credit card processors require only the card number, card verification code and at most the card expiry date, PayPal requires that address and contact number be provided. I am not sure how PayPal is going to enforce the accuracy of such information without also being a card association. If you get what I mean.


School and university maintenance departments are responsible for keeping students safe, managing inventory, and complying with government regulations, among other tasks. Their maintenance departments typically manage hundreds, if not thousands, of work orders and assets each day. Various maintenance issues can arise at any given moment, so it's important for schools to have an effective maintenance system in place. Schools and universities around the country have been facing budget cuts over the last several years. This has required maintenance managers to learn how to do more with less. CMMS software for schools can help maintenance managers at schools and universities keep grounds safe and in good condition.
Using CMMS software enables you to boost the efficiency of your maintenance department. School officials can use the software to automate the work order life cycle, which includes work requests, work orders, and preventive maintenance schedules.
A maintenance management solution links together different school locations, buildings, managers, employees, vendors, suppliers, etc. into a single, centralized network, which enhances collaboration and communication.
Your assets are subject to wear and tear, malfunction, and breakdown. Maintenance software allows you to follow a preventive maintenance schedule and protect your assets. This prevents unexpected asset failure, which can lead to costly revenue leaks.
CMMS software provides you with a central database for incoming work requests, so you can determine what work needs to be done and assign and prioritize work orders. This helps you close work orders faster.

When will people wake up and realize gun laws wont solve the issue and the 2nd Amendment clearly states no infraction on guns. People wanting to do harm will always find a way. the reply to gun issues is new england patriots 2018-19 rosterapps login roblox account education and promotion. Switzerland has more guns per capita vs USA and they have less new england patriots news rob gronkowski salary 2019-2020 office crime and their guns are relatively bigger since most are military issued (Full an automobile). Why less crime then you might say? Well they are educated more and gun safety promoted.

Speaking Freely: Your Government: "Trust us to get it right on voter ID."
Your Government: "Trust us to get it right on voter ID."
Along with the personal stories about people without ID, government officials took the stand today to discuss numerous angles to the voter ID law and its implementation.
The first witness of the day was Shannon Royer, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth. Mr. Royer's responsibilities include overseeing the state's bureau of elections. The department has a public education campaign planned that will include radio and television ads, robocalls and mailings to voters, mobile billboards, and ads on public transportation in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and the Lehigh Valley.
The deputy secretary admitted on the stand that the most intensive effort will occur after Labor Day, two months before the election.
Royer also cited a Susquehanna Polling and Research poll from "May or June" that showed that 18 percent of people- or 1.4 million Pennsylvanians- did not know about the voter ID law. (He couched it as 82 percent of Pennsylvanians knew about the law.) Meanwhile, Dr. Barreto's testimony from yesterday showed that a significant percentage of people who think they have an acceptable ID for voting actually do not.
Attorney Clarke pointed out that the documentation is not optional, as the letter suggests. It's required.
Secretary Royer also testified that the original target date to begin issuing the department's new voting ID was originally July 24. That date was pushed back to August 26.
Mark Wolosik, the elections division manager in Allegheny County, testified that the Department of State informed his office that 100,000 registered voters in the county do not appear in PennDOT's database. Wolosik also noted that, in his 42 years in the division, the office has never referred a voter impersonation fraud case to the district attorney.
The final witness of the day was Kurt Myers, Deputy Secretary of PennDOT. Myers testified to his desire for the state driver's license and the non-driving ID to be "secure" documents. Myers realized in the spring and informed administration officials that there would be voters who could not get a PennDOT ID due to the documentation requirements. That's where the idea of a Department of State voting ID, issued by PennDOT, began.
Attorney David Gersch of Arnold & Porter used a map of Pennsylvania to illustrate that 32 counties have no license center or a center that is only open one or two days per week.
In a memo to the department's legislative affairs staff in April, 2011, Myers stated that one negative of the voter ID bill was the potential impact on PennDOT staff that he characterized as "already taxed." The department aims to have 99 percent of customers out the door within 30 minutes but that percentage is typically only in the high 80s.
Finally, although state and transportation plan to roll out the new voting ID on August 26, the vendor contracted for the job does not have a deadline of August 26, and the contract has no penalty for failing to complete the job by that date.
Everyone gets a break for the weekend. The court is adjourned until Monday at 10am.
This is so outrageous. I hope Eric Holder strikes a blow for democracy and rules that this voter suppression bill be at least postponed until after November. This is a clear case for voter disenfranchisement, and it needs to be STOPPED.
The Voter ID law is a blatant effort to disenfranchise many across the state from their legitimate right to cast a vote. There is absolutely no need for this law. There is no history of voter fraud at the ballot box. Personally I think it's outrageous that the state is spending large sums of taxpayers money "solving" a problem that does not exist while at the same time cutting funding for social services and education. Thank you, ACLU for standing tall in defense of voter rigts!

Моласса (уст. Молясс, от  — «мягонький») — комплекс геологических отложений, возникших за счёт размыва гор.

Это мощная (до нескольких километров) толща морских и континентальных преимущественно терригенных пород с неравномерным распределением обломочного материала, формирующаяся в коллизионной геодинамической обстановке, в том числе в условиях внутриконтинентального орогенеза.

История
Термин введён Орасом де Соссюром в 1779 году.

Молассы — так в XIX веке называли одну из геологических групп нептунического происхождения

Описание

По составу молассы довольно разнообразны — хотя главную роль в них играют песчаники, алевролиты, аргиллиты, но встречаются также линзы валунных и галечных конгломератов, пачки известняков, каменной соли, гипса, покровы вулканитов кислого состава и их туфов. На нижележащие отложения моласса ложится как правило резко несогласно, с размывом и формированием базальных конгломератов. Для моласс характерна регрессивная последовательность, выраженная увеличением зернистости обломочного материала вверх по разрезу.

Молассы, как правило, выполняют передовые прогибы (форланды), формирующиеся между древней платформой и складчато-покровным поясом в результате прогибания платформенной литосферы под действием надвигающихся аллохтонов складчато-покровного пояса. (Классический пример — Предуральский краевой прогиб, выполненный пермской соленосной молассой.)

С молассами часто связаны месторождения каменной соли (галита), угля, нефти.

Различают:
 Моласса верхняя — континентальная.
 Моласса нижняя — морская.

Hemidactylus murrayi was described from a series of 24 specimens ( 8 males , 16 females ) collected from two adjacent localities "Pimpri and Garvi, in the "Dangs", …., at the northwest extremity of the Syhadri or Ghat range, between Khandesh and Surat " ( Gleadow 1887 ). Pimpri (ca. 20 ° 47 ' 55 "N , 73 ° 35 '00"E ) and Garvi (ca. 20 ° 50 ' 12 "N , 73 ° 40 ' 40 "E ) are two towns currently situated in the Dangs District of southeast Gujarat. Unfortunately, the repository of the syntypes was not mentioned in the description. Representative specimens are not currently present in BMNH or ZSI. Gleadow also did not deposit specimens in BNHM ( Das & Chaturvedi 1998 ), despite his later plea on behalf of the society for lizard specimens ( Gleadow 1905 ). The whereabouts of these type specimens have not been reported and are herein considered lost. In order to clarify the status of this species in the future, a topotypical specimen should be designated as a neotype . Based on the original description, this species appears morphologically to be a representative of the "rock-dwelling morph", and thus very unlikely to be conspecific with H. brookiis.s.

Ryanair warned job cuts and a reduced schedule could be on the horizon as multiple strikes blighted operations and hit profits.
Almost half a million Ryanair customers were affected by cancellations in the three months to June. Walkouts by French air traffic controllers - and shortages among their compatriots in Britain, Germany and Greece - were primarily to blame for 2,500 grounded flights.
Strikes by Irish pilots also caused "a small proportion" of flights to be cancelled. And while Ryanair has recently agreed a pay deal with such staff, it is facing further "unnecessary" industrial action by cabin crew in Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

The jobs report for February showed a strong bounce back from a soft January with upward revisions to prior months. In a separate report last week weak fourth quarter GDP growth was revised up slightly, and inflation has moved closer to the Fed's 2% target in each of the last three months. Would an increase in the federal funds rate at the upcoming March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting be sheer madness? Investors seem to think so.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported payroll employment expanded by 242 thousand in February and added a total of 30 thousand to the December and January counts. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9% with large gains in both the labor force (555 thousand) and the number of employed persons (530 thousand). The labor force participation rate has gained 0.5 percentage point in recent months, reaching 62.9%, still low but erasing declines in 2015.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revised fourth quarter GDP growth up from 0.7% to 1.0%. In contrast to the slowdown in GDP growth, the BEA reported that inflation as measured by the price index for personal consumption expenditures, has accelerated. After hovering at 1.3% for most of 2015 the Fed's preferred measure of inflation has climbed to 1.7% over the last three months.
Weak fourth quarter economic growth, soft January employment numbers and anxiety about the domestic effects of declines in economies and financial markets abroad have raised doubts about the timing of the Fed's next interest rate increase. After the initial increase in December, the March meeting was the favorite among analysts. In the wake of recent economic data investors betting on the timing of the next hike have virtually taken the March meeting off the table (bets).
It will be interesting to see if today's strong labor market report improves the odds of a March move among investors in the coming two weeks before the FOMC meeting. It will be interesting to see if the bets payoff.

July 2019: Cambodia Government bans veterinary use of diclofenac
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia has banned the veterinary sale and use of diclofenac in the Kingdom with immediate effect. The Government has taken this measure to safeguard the remaining Cambodian vulture population, which is declining and threatened with extinction. "Diclofenac, whilst harmless to cattle and other livestock, results in death of vultures if they feed on a carcass of an animal previously treated with this drug" said Dr Julia Stenkat, of the Cambodia Vulture Working Group partner – Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB).
All vulture species occurring in the Kingdom are protected under Cambodian law and this precautionary measure by the Government of Cambodia will reduce the risk of accidental diclofenac poisoning, although the risk of poisoning from other agricultural chemicals like carbofuran (poison-baits, often as retaliatory poisoning of dogs or other mammals) remains an ever-present danger to Cambodia's declining vultures.
The vulture population of India, formerly the largest in the world and numbering in the millions, suffered a 99% decline as a consequence of the veterinary use of diclofenac administered to cattle. The near disappearance of these keystone scavengers from the ecosystem, resulted in major public health implications as millions of cattle carcasses dumped daily in refuse dumps went uneaten. The feral dog population grew and this led to increased risks of human deaths from rabies. As a result, the Governments of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Iran have earlier banned the veterinary use of diclofenac, promoted meloxicam, a harmless and equally effective substitute drug and there is now evidence of vulture population recovery in some regions including Nepal (see here).
The Cambodia Vulture Working Group (CVWG), a Core Partner of SAVE, is a consortium of Government focal points and NGOs which has been championing the conservation of Cambodia's vultures since 2004. Cambodia's vultures are facing an increasingly high risk of extinction and continuous monitoring has shown a 50% decline over the past ten years. Poisoning (poison baits), food shortage, habitat conversion (economic land concession) and destruction of nesting trees are thought to be the main reasons for their decline and these are the priorities addressed in the Cambodia sections of the SAVE's annually updated 'Blueprint or the Recovery of Asia's Globally Threatened Vultures'. Note that the Blueprint is the main regional basis for the Convention of Migratory Species (CMS) Vultures Multi-species Action Plan which can be downloaded here. The 2019 national census recorded only 120 vultures remaining in Cambodia.
In 2018 diclofenac was found on sale for the first time in Cambodia by the CVWG who advocated a ban to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). One year later on 15 July 2019 MAFF has issued a ban on the importation, sale and distribution (including a recall) of diclofenac for veterinary purposes, to pre-empt a similar catastrophe as suffered in India.
"H.E. the Minister of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries recognizes the potential impact of a diclofenac ban on the Kingdom's vultures and the consequences this could have for human health. MAFF is pleased to have worked with the CVWG to issue this ban" said Dr. Nou Vonika, Director of Department of Animal Health and Veterinary Public Health, General Directorate of Animal Health and Production.
"We applaud MAFF's decision. It is one of the critical steps aiming to save and prevent the extinction of Cambodia's vultures impacted by diclofenac used for veterinary purpose. This decision needs to be circulated, enforced and monitored." said Teak Seng, Country Director of WWF Cambodia.
"The challenge now is to ensure the relevant provincial authorities are aware of the ban and have CVWG support to help enforce it" said NY Naiky, BirdLife International and CVWG coordinator who continued, "This pre-emptive measure by MAFF is most welcomed but poisoning of vultures with other agricultural chemical, including carbofuran, a deadly carbamate pesticide is a major challenge."
The Cambodia vulture conservation project is funded by Allwetterzoo Münster, Humanscale, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Mohamed Bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Wildlife Reserves Singapore.


Q. What is 3D TV?
A developed technology of viewing a Movie, in realistic depth, with amazing optical effects. The illusion of viewing 3 Dimensions is created in such a way that the left and right eyes see different images. Though technology is progressing rapidly, this current viewing process still requires the wearing of glasses to make each eye react accordingly.
The UK's first dedicated 3D TV channel is scheduled to be seen courtesy of Sky during 2010.
However, 3D movies is nothing new as the technology was first developed in the 1930's, seeing some popularity in the cinemas during the late 1950's and resurected again in the 80's.
Q. Are all 3D TV systems the same?
The most common format shows two images where glasses filter out the appropriate colour images. The red lens filters out red images and only shows blues ones. Ultimately the blue lens filters out the blue images and only shows the red ones.
Q. How many systems of 3D TV are there?
Two different systems will be available during 2010 - Passive and Active - both requiring a separate pair of glasses.
Without being technical, below will briefly and hopefully explain the basic differences.
The ACTIVE system requires glasses that alternatively block each eye in sync with the TV picture. Being different images in each eye, so fast is the switching that the brain basically sees a complete with depth as it was intended when filmed by special 3D camera confurations.
The PASSIVE or polorised system TV is the result of both left and right images transmitted onto the TV screen at the same time and a special filter built within one of the glass substrates polorises the left and right images differently. The specific Passive 3D glasses then reverses this and filters the images to ensure the correct image is in the appropriate left or right eye then the brain perceives an image of depth.
Q. What are the different types of 3D glasses?
Though there are three glasses formats, as explained above, there are two main types of quality glasses required when watching different systems of high quality 3D - ACTIVE and PASSIVE.
Activated by the programme source, these contain working lenses that alternate with a black-out procedure per left and right eye. So quick is this action that the brain does not see such action - similar to not seeing the oscilating flicker on your current TV - but basically it is like a rapid shutter effect alternatively with the left and right lens.
As you would expect, this mechanical device of glasses requires a power source so hence powered by small Lithium batteries. With such technology in a pair of glasses, they come at a cost so care should be taken to keep safe as replacements can cost in excess of £100.
These are simply a polorised system to separate the images from the left and right eyes.
All the work is basically done via the polorised filter screen TV and the brain. Hence the glasses are lenses manufactured to filter out and block the images from opposite lenses, for example, the right lens blocks and filters the left image and the left lens blocks and filters the right image. That said, as with normal spectacles, unlike Active glasses, there is no power required.


"In recent decades, fancy color diamonds have been sold with a grading lab report, such as that of GIA," the FCRF said in a statement. "While the report provides important information concerning the diamond's physical traits it does not provide information about rarity. Collectors and investors have depended on qualitative information from miners, auctions houses, retailers and wholesalers to obtain rarity information. The FCRE™ adds an essential tool for collectors that goes beyond the grading lab report by documenting, analyzing and processing this significant factor. The FCRF began to develop this important tool at the request of jewelers and institutional investors for high quality rarity data. Since fancy color diamond rarity data had never been institutionally documented in the past, the FCRF began to systematically collect supply information from leading miners and grading labs and to analyze and process this data. After more than five years of development the FCRE™ is now being launched."
The FCRF is partnering with select high-end jewelers to introduce Rarity Certificates in the fourth quarter that will accompany select diamond jewelry pieces.
