In the Scripps National Spelling Bee championship held in the USA, the joint teenage champions had to spell words such assdrucciola, holluschick, thymelici, encaenia, terreplein and stichomythia in order to win. Whether or not they understood the meanings of the words, it is an impressive feat indeed that they managed to spell words such as these correctly upon hearing them used only once.
Traditionally, especially when I was at school, spelling was taught by our teachers giving us a list of words on Monday, which was followed by a spelling test on Friday. This has been the case with spelling for many years, but I bet the teenage champions at the 2014 National Spelling Bee learned spelling in a completely different way.
List 1 would contain the 'ai' words (rain, bait, brain, wait, grain, aim, aid…).
List 2 would give the 'ay' words (play, away, stay, pay, pray…).
List 3 would give the a-consonant-e spelling pattern (gate, trade, game, make, grade…).
List 4 would contain the single vowel 'a' spellings (rang, bank, thank, sang…).
List 5 would contain the 'unexpected' spellings of /ay/ (eight, weigh, great …).
Another way to investigate and understand the patterns is to group words beginning with the same letter. For example, the letter 'C' would contain words beginning with a 'hard-c' such as cat, or a 'soft-c' as in cell, and once these words are grouped together you will start to discover that 'c' is usually hard when followed by consonants and the vowels 'a, o & u' (cat, cot, cut etc…), whilst it is usually soft when followed by 'i. e & y' (circus, celery, cycle etc.).
There are always exceptions to these rules, but it's a good way to learn spelling patterns which will eventually help amplify your vocabulary and improve your English!
"I have understood all the corrections you've made, but I have a doubt with the verb "recommend". I thought it could be used as I did in the writing "I recommend you to read this book" now I know that I have to say "I recommend that you read this book" but my doubt is: in which cases can it be used with the form "recommend+object+to+infinitive"?
Ah ha… good question I thought. This is a perfect example of why I recommend (!) that my students avoid using the verb 'to recommend', at least at certain levels of their understanding. I suggest that they use 'to suggest' or even advise them to use 'advise' as alternatives.
So when they queried this my response was that the error was not with `recommend`, it was actually with `to read`. Whilst it is sometimes suggested that 'recommend' can be followed by 'to + infinitive', it really shouldn't.
We recommend you use our new software.
We recommend you to use our new software.
Whilst the following structures related to the verb recommend are often noted as grammatically correct….
… my opinion is that "I recommend you to read" is bad English. We say "I advise you to…". With "recommend" it just sounds wrong (to me).

GuidesUbuntu 6.10 Goes Live
Ubuntu 6.10 Goes Live
By Sean Michael Kerner
While most operating system vendors struggle to meet their target delivery
dates, Canonical is working hard at keeping its promises.
When it comes to hitting release dates, Ubuntu's Edgy Eft has edged out the competition.
Ubuntu this week released the latest version of its latest Linux distribution, code-named the Edgy Eft, and officially called Ubuntu 6.10.
The release follows the last Ubuntu release, Dapper Drake, by only four months.
In the last few years, Ubuntu has arguably become one of the most popular community-based Linux distribution in the world.
Ubuntu is derived from Debian GNU/Linux, which is also scheduled to release an update, code-named Etch, at the end of the year. Debian encountered significant
delays on the road to its current release, Sarge.
Ubuntu sees its ability to deliver releases on time as a major accomplishment.
"One interesting accomplishment in the 6.10 release is that we are on track to release it on schedule, given the rapid development cycle of four months compared to our usual six," Ubuntu CTO Matt Zimmerman told internetnews.com. "This brings us back into sync with the GNOME release cycle."
Ubuntu uses the GNOME Linux desktop as its default. It also has a sister project, Kubuntu, that releases the same operating system but
with the rival KDE Linux desktop instead.
Ubuntu updates nearly all the major packages on the system from its Dapper
versions but is aware that not all Dapper users will want to upgrade to Edgy.
The reason is that Dapper is considered by Ubuntu to be a long-term support
(LTS) release. Zimmerman explained that maintenance support for Dapper will
continue through June 2009 for desktops and June 2011 for servers.
Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) will receive the standard 18 months of
maintenance, so its end-of-life will be June 2009.
"Users who require the longer life cycle may choose not to upgrade,"
Zimmerman said. "For this reason, users of the LTS release will not be
automatically offered the upgrade."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (March 28, 2019) – Staten Island Board of Realtors® (SIBOR) directors Angelo Pappalardo and Frank Rizzo recently met with two New York City Council members who have introduced pending bills that would affect fees collected in a rental transaction.
The multiple pieces of legislation proposed by Council members Keith Powers and Carolina Rivera would alter the market in terms of rental fees collected, and modify security-deposit payment protection for property owners.
According to SIBOR, 31 percent of New Yorkers feel that residing in the city is too expensive; and while the Council members' aim is to address some of the affordability issues, the prospective legislation, as written, may have unintended consequences.
"A particularly onerous consequence could disenfranchise some lower-income renters by discouraging landlords from working with them," Rizzo said.
What all parties agreed upon was greater transparency and education for the public. The landlord and potential tenant should always be aware of whom the agent is representing, fees that may be involved, and that the decision to use an agent and commissions are negotiable.
"As Realtors, we have an additional duty to the Code of Ethics and every Realtor should make sure that all parties are fairly represented," said Sandy Krueger, SIBOR CEO.
While SIBOR works on many fronts to make housing more affordable, notably through legislation such as the First Time Home Buyer Grants that SIBOR past-president Dawn Carpenter championed through the New York State Assembly, this proposed legislation may negatively impact more than help, the Realtor organization cautioned.
"SIBOR is committed to working with our legislators to ensure that our clients and customers can find answers to their real estate needs and protect property rights," Krueger said.

Drunk Dubai expat beats sleeping man to death, jailed – News
A body was found dumped in a yard behind a mall in Al Quoz industrial area.
A 31-year-old expat, who assaulted a compatriot to death for sleeping at his spot in a yard, has been sentenced to three years in jail by the Dubai Court of First Instance. He will be deported after serving his jail term and paying a fine of Dh300,000.
Public prosecution records show that the Indian man, who was drunk, punched and kicked the victim repeatedly all over his body, causing him injuries that led to his death.
A policeman said that on August 18, they were alerted about a body found dumped in a yard behind a mall in Al Quoz industrial area.
"We went to the scene and spoke to a security guard. He said that he found the body in the morning near a car."
The police tracked down the defendant after getting clues of his involvement in the crime.
He was arrested and taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
During interrogation, the police learned from the accused that he assaulted the victim repeatedly with his bare hands. There were no surveillance cameras and no one witnessed the incident that happened at a late hour.
The defendant was drunk when he committed the crime. "He was sleeping on the incident night in the yard when he woke up to see the victim sleeping next to him. He had earlier warned him of not taking his spot there," the policeman told the investigator.
The accused expat admitted to the CID officers that after assaulting the victim, he went to sleep in a pick-up truck. He woke up the next morning and found workers crowding around the victim, who was motionless. The accused knew then the victim was dead and so, he fled the scene.
The accused claimed to the police he did not mean to kill the victim but just hurt him.
During the public prosecution investigation, the defendant admitted to having assaulted the victim. He claimed, however, he had no intention of killing him. On September 1, the defendant led the police to the crime scene.
According to the forensic report, the victim's body bore many bruises to the face, contusions to the abdomen and chest and ribs fractures. He was under the influence of alcohol at the time of his death.
These factors contributed to his heart failure and the blood circulation problems causing his death.
The ruling may be appealed.

California's corrupted policies drive out residents and companies
From renewable energy to high taxes, the Golden State is tarnishing itself
I'm going to whip this virus!
Illustration on the green threat to California by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times more >
By Michael McKenna - - Sunday, December 27, 2020
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
California, a state with limitless resources and natural beauty, is sinking.
It has the highest rate of adult illiteracy in the United States — and probably the hemisphere — with almost one-quarter of the adult population illiterate.
It has greater income inequality than all but a handful of states.
Report: Trump wants to create new political party
Depending on how one counts, it has the highest or one of the highest tax burdens of any state and the highest regulatory burden of any state.
At the moment, it has the seventh-highest unemployment rate among states.
Finally, it has the least reliable and among the most expensive electrical systems in the United States. This year, California has had dozens of hours of blackouts caused by lack of power plants — including the two nuclear power plants they are in the process of prematurely closing — and by deficient vegetation management and outdated equipment, which has both caused and exacerbated wildfires.
In response, the Californians, of course, plan to shut down even more power plants.
These pathologies have not gone unnoticed by the residents. According to the American Community Survey, from 2007 to 2016, about a million more people moved out of California than moved into California. This net migration equals about 2.5% of its population.
Companies large and small, including Oracle and Hewlett-Packard, have left for elsewhere, mostly Texas.
Despite all this, the "leaders" of the state continue to press ideas seemingly specifically designed to alienate voters. Undeterred by their inability to keep the lights on, California is pursuing a strategy to electrify more of the economy. This includes efficiency mandates and incentives, precluding using natural gas in homes and businesses, and banning cars and trucks that run on gasoline or diesel.
You probably will be shocked to learn that, according to a series of UCLA studies, these policies tend to favor the rich, who use more energy, and place more burdens on those who can least afford it.
Another UCLA study concludes that if not planned correctly – and the chances of this seem pretty high — the shift to wind and solar power could cost more and strain the state's electrical grid.
You don't say.
Still, even the UCLA crew can't get everything right. A professor at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability offered that: "Policy aims need to get beyond efficiency to address absolute levels of consumption and to reflect reasonable need rather than excessive use. … We must ask ourselves how much energy is enough to live a decent and modern life."
Did you get all that? The state, or at least UCLA, would like to determine how much energy everyone needs, rather than how much they want or can afford.As a final insult to ratepayers and taxpayers, the California Public Advocate's Office — which is part of the Public Utility Commission and whose sole charge is to advocate on behalf of the ratepayers of California — recently entered into an agreement with the Sierra Club specifically designed to help the Sierra Club to advocate against consumers, against reliable power and against affordable natural gas.
Not surprisingly, this bit of corruption came to light through the efforts of two Democratic members of the state legislature. The media was busy doing something else instead of looking out for the average citizen.
Californians already pay twice as much for electricity as their neighboring states in the West. For that premium, they get blackouts when it's hot and when it's windy — to prevent outdated equipment from starting wildfires.
But the Public Advocate's Office doesn't seem to care about that. Its real audience has become the environmental community.
The good news is that there are some signs of life.
In the 2020 election, Californians voted to protect gig workers such as Uber and Lyft drivers from government "help," against government discrimination based on race, and to protect business owners from ruinous property taxes. These are all good things.
But at some point, the citizens of California must demand better than the failures, corruption and indifference that has the once great Golden State teetering on the edge.

1. What is "chem lab"? A chemistry course?
2. What is "store credit"? It's from "I'd like to get my money back, or at least store credit".
3. Here is a sentence---"They give the example of movie stars who used to make these grand entrances."
So what does "grand entrances" refer to?
The grand entrance that you are talking about goes back a long way before movie stars were around.
It was originally connected with Aristocracy and these large Banquets and Balls that the Queen, King or some other wealthy person would invite people to.
i am not sure what (1) and (2) mean. i feel "chem lab" is a shortened version of either a chemical lab or a chemistry lab.
in (3), 'grand entrances' refers to the dramatic way the movie stars are introduced in a movie, for example, in the first few minutes of a movie, the hero is shown in a bike-chase scene where he successfully resuces a kid or the heroine from the clutches of a rowdy by performing a super human stunt.
the best example to explain the 'grand entrance' is the way Halle Berry is introduced in the latest James Bond film(oops!! i forgot the name of the fim) where she is shown coming towards Pierce Brosnan in the beach.
"Chem lab" is, I assume, a chemistry lab, but it's not a phrase in common usage. Maybe only chemistry students, or chemists themselves, would use that shortened name for it?
"Store credit" is where you take something back to the shop, but instead of giving you a refund (money back) they allow you to purchase other goods to the same value, inside the shop. Typically, in England, this would happen when the goods weren't faulty, but you just changed your mind. The store is not obliged to refund the money, but they might agree to take the item back, and let you choose something different. If you don't want to buy anything there and then, they may issue a "credit note" for the amount, which you can use next time you visit the store.
By the way, the grand entrance is not those movie stars' show-ups that they walk on a red carpet in front of public before entering a theater, especially at a movie festival, is it?

90-Year-Old Home Travels Across San Diego

Video from Chopper 7 shows the moving home, built in 1925, as it makes its way across San Diego County. (Published Monday, March 28, 2016)
A nearly century-old San Diego home made its way across the County Monday as it moved to a new location.
The 800-square foot house, built in 1925, was slowly moved from Hillcrest to its new home in San Diego's South Bay.
But instead of letting the property get destroyed, local entrepreneur Garnell Fitz-Henley, who specializes in saving homes from demolition, saw possibility. Fitz-Henley wanted to salvage the home.
"When a building is demolished so much material and energy goes to waste," Fitz-Henley said in a statement. "Eighty-year-old solid oak or maple floors, gum wood built-ins, lead crystal. All of these precious materials, not including all the talent and energy expended by the original laborers. It simply makes sense to preserve and reuse all that. "
The home's original owner, Anne Wilson, said she enjoyed living in the house for 22 years, but was ready for a change.
"I hated the thought that it would just be demolished when I start to build a larger home. Fitz found me when an architect he works with heard of my project," Wilson said in a statement. "He proposed salvaging rather than demolishing, which I was happy to hear was even a possibility. Working with him to move the house is actually saving me money in demolition costs."

Fitz-Henley, his contractor and a crew helped find the building a new physical home.
Soon, a new family will move into the home at its new location. The property is at a storage facility in Otay Mesa and will eventually be put on a lot in San Ysidro.
Fitz-Henley has worked to move or recycle dozens of previous structures in San Diego County.

1. What do you want to achieve by using software?
Desired role of software is one of the key questions dictating the choice. Simplified linearized softwares such as equivalent circuit models are ideal choice for onboard software needs. Whereas, first principal based softwares are more suited for atomistic and interfacial surface studies (for instance to understand SEI structure and Li transport in it at molecular level that is important to develop robust surface coatings). A large number of engineers and scientists are, however, exploring application of software to reduce developmental time and cost for Li-ion battery products. For such purposes, macroscopic physics-based battery softwares such as AutoLionTM can be a very well suited. Cell design and optimization, impact of cell chemistry on performance and life, cell and pack safety evaluation and thermal management some of the areas where macroscopic physics-based softwares have found great utility. AutoLion offers accurate simulation-based analysis to address performance, life and safety related issues from cell and pack level. See various case studies on our ALite platform showcasing capabilities of AutoLionTM.
2. Is your battery exposed to extreme temperatures?
This is a central question that should govern your choice of software. Li-ion batteries performance and life characteristics strongly depend on temperature. For many applications such as automotive applications, Li-ion batteries need to perform reliably over a wide range of temperature (-30oC to +45oC). To correctly simulate cell performance/life under such extreme conditions, tight coupling between heat transport and cell electrochemical reaction is absolutely important. Users need to ascertain if the software in consideration is able to correctly capture Li-ion battery performance under such conditions. In a recentcase study, we showcased how AutoLionTM correctly captures low temperature performance of Li-ion battery whereas isothermal Newman based models or softwares that implement simplified heat treatment fall short. On the same lines, due to robust foundation that correctly captures strong dependence of reaction rate on temperature, AutoLionTM enables users to simulate on-field relevant safety events and evaluate effectiveness of various mitigation strategies.
3. Do you work with multiple battery chemistries?
Many users work with more than battery chemistries and selecting the right chemistry for their application is an integral part of their work. In such a scenario, software that can simulate quickly and accurately simulate material-specific performance, life and safety characteristics of Li-ion battery is needed to accelerate product development. AutoLionTM software suite has demonstrated capabilities of accurately capturing performance and life characteristics for various chemistries. In addition, mixture chemistries which are very common for commercial applications can be easily simulated using AutoLionTM over wide range of operating conditions. See this case study where engineers have used AutoLionTM to evaluate the impact of mixture material on cell energy and power density. With AutoLionTM, users can easily study behavior of Li-ion batteries with advanced (high capacity, high energy) materials as well as can easily optimize cell designs to obtain desired power to energy ratio for any material set.
4. How much information about battery internal design and materials is available to you?
Physics-based models require information about battery internal design and material properties as inputs to reliably simulate Li-ion battery behavior. This information may not be available to many users because either they procure batteries from suppliers or they do not have access to sufficient diagnostics capabilities to measure these properties. Users in such situations can use equivalent circuit based software by fitting available experimental data to simplified model. This approach makes the use of software very limited as using equivalent circuit softwares beyond the available experimental data, especially to evaluate characteristics over life under real world complex operating conditions, is not reliable. Instead, AutoLion enables users to quickly build a virtual replica of a Li-ion cell using basic cell level data that users should have access to. Users can then use AutoLion-generated virtual cell to accurately predict performance, life and safety characteristics even under real world operating conditions. For more information, see this case study where an engineer has used AutoLionTM to simulate an A123 cell with minimal information available about cell design and material properties within half an hour.

Roots of Motive Power Shows Its Remarkable,
Museum-Quality Antique Machines
Restored 1898 Marshutz and Cantrell "Improved" Spool Donkey (above) and members of Roots of Motive Power (below)
The roaring, hissing, steaming, museum-quality antique machines on the beefy, burly side that will wow visitors at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, April 30 at Half Moon Bay Airport, are brought to you by Willits-based Roots of Motive Power.
Roots of Motive Power was formed in 1982 by a group of friends in the timber industry who shared a love of local history and the antique machinery that helped shape it. Working closely with the Mendocino County Museum, Roots volunteers embarked on an enthusiastic course of acquisition and restoration of antique logging equipment. Fittingly, the first project was the restoration of the Museum's Murray Brothers spool donkey, a veteran of many years of service with the Mendocino Lumber Company. Built in the 1880's, the vertical spool donkey represented the earliest attempts to mechanize logging.
Among the artifacts that Roots of Motive Power is bringing to this year's Dream Machines Show is the 1898 Marshutz and Cantrell "Improved" Spool Donkey which just went through a full restoration. This was an early piece of logging equipment used in the redwood region for moving logs. The "Improved" model of spool donkey sports a new development in logging donkeys, as compared to the original 1883 Dolbeer patent spool donkeys. This improvement is a "haul back drum" which allows the logging cable and rigging to be returned to the woods for the next log using steam power vs. animal power. Marshutz and Cantrell was located in San Francisco, where they manufactured logging machinery and small locomotives. This was a ground-up restoration, including the construction of a new redwood sled for the machine.
1921 Kelly Springfield steam roller before (above) and after restoration (below) by Roots of Motive Power
Another Roots of Motive Power display piece coming to the show is the recently-restored 1921 Kelly Springfield steam roller. The roller was purchased in Los Angeles in 2003 and hauled back to Willits. "Since it was April, we had the trucker stop by the Dream Machines Show that year with the very derelict roller on the truck for display," said Baldo. "The roller sat in the weeds at the Roots yard for years before we finally started a restoration. We finished the roller just in time for the July 4th Parade in Willits in 2016. It was quite a project," said Baldo.
1922 Atlas Imperial Diesel Engine
Also coming to the big show from their collection is a 1922 Atlas Imperial Diesel engine which started its life journey in the hull of a small launch named the Willard C which plied the waters of Humboldt Bay. Eventually, after a series of modifications and rebuilds, the engine was sold to the Childs family who ran a small milling operation in Redcrest CA.
Crowd favorites from the Roots collection, the Buffalo Springfield steam roller and 1926 Mack model AC dump truck, have been a big hit Dream Machines many times over the years.

Microsoft's Azure Stack Is Useful but Not for Everyone, Hybrid Cloud- Enterprise Cloud News

Microsoft's Azure Stack Is Useful but Not for Everyone
by Andrew Froehlich
Infrastructure architects responsible for building hybrid or multi-cloud environments are being met with an increasing number of products and services that promise to alleviate the burden of managing disparate data center environments.
Technologies such as network overlays, software-defined networking (SDN), cloud access security brokers (CASB) and multi-cloud management platforms are marketed as a way to unify the management of public and private clouds. Yet, while each can indeed help to simplify cloud management, there are also drawbacks to each strategy. (See Hybrid Cloud Adoption: 5 Keys to Success.)
Now, enter Microsoft.
The software giant recently announcing it's starting to take orders for the company's Azure Stack platform. Azure Stack essentially allows customers to spin up the same cloud platform that Microsoft runs in its public cloud inside a private, on-premises data center. (See Microsoft's Azure Stack Creeps Closer to Release.)
Is Microsoft looming over your cloud plans?
(Source: Efes via Pixabay)
It's yet another tool in the toolbox — and one that's going to be incredibly appealing to many.
At the same time, Azure Stack isn't going to be for everyone. Let's look at the pros and cons of an Azure cloud and stack architectures and point out businesses that should — and should not — be interested.
If you look at the hybrid- and multi-cloud management solutions available today, you'll find they all have a common goal — to mask differing cloud technologies so operate as if they were a single unit. Whether this be accomplished through overlays, APIs or proxy technologies, the idea is to create a uniform experience with which to manage your entire public and private cloud infrastructure. (See Oracle Acquires Apiary to Bolster Cloud APIs.)
However, pulling this off is easier said than done.
Instead, wouldn't it be far easier if your underlying public and private cloud infrastructures were identical in the first place?
This is precisely what Azure Stack aims to achieve. Since Azure Stack is essentially the same platform that Azure's public cloud operates on, you can extend your public cloud presence directly into your private data center. That means you gain the benefits of fully hybrid integration without the need for any type of masking or overlay trickery.
Applications and data that need to stay local can do so with the ability to manage your public and private cloud using a single management interface and using the same infrastructure policies. It also significantly reduces many of the hurdles when attempting to migrate applications from a private data center to the Azure public cloud.
Yet, it's important to remember that the combination of Azure Stack and Azure Cloud isn't an all-encompassing multi-cloud strategy. Instead, it should be thought of as a hybrid approach.
Even though there will be plenty of third-party cloud providers that will gladly implement Azure Stack on their networks for you to achieve some semblance of independence from Microsoft, you're still stuck in a single-vendor architecture with a host of limitations.
For small and midsized business customers, the combination of Azure and Azure Stack is going to be a great fit. This is especially true if they already have a hefty presence in Microsoft's public cloud.
For larger organizations, however, approaches that use wider-reaching technologies such as SDN, allow for greater flexibility. An SDN-focused strategy creates a centralized infrastructure at the network level. What this means is that it doesn't matter what the cloud architecture looks like on top. In terms of flexibility and scalability, it remains unrivaled from a multi-cloud deployment strategy.
Additionally, advancements in SDN technologies — such as Cisco's recent announcement of its intent-based networking tools — show that real-world deployments of end-to-end SDN are just around the corner. (See Intent-Based Networking: What Does It Mean for Your Cloud?.)

Q: Trying to load an archive from a Synology server I am trying to build a web application that is capable of visualizing documents whose location is on an SYNOLOGY server but it doesn´t work.
I´ve already checked if the direction is correct (it is). Somehow the HTML doesn´t identify that I´m trying to access a file directory. I get a 404 error every time. The only form I can visualize the documents is to put "file:" + "Complete direction where the document is". I want these to be automatic.
I would be very grateful if you could help.

Ladislav Haškovec (May 18, 1866 – January 16, 1944) was a Czech neuropsychiatrist, eugenicist, and physician, professor of neuropathology at the Charles University in Prague. In November 1901 he coined the term "akathisia" in the journal Revue neurologique, and with Jean-Martin Charcot provided an initial demonstration to the Paris Neurological Society after noting that two patients were unable to remain seated.  In 1905 he founded the first neurological department in the area of today's Czech Republic. He is considered one of the founders of the Czechoslovak neurology.

Biography
Born in Bechyně, Haškovec studied at the gymnasium in Jindřichův Hradec, and later continued at the Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague, graduating in 1891. He started medical practice in the laboratory of the National Museum, where he focused on craniology – the science dealing with the morphological description of the skull. From 1890 to 1891 he worked in the Pathological-Anatomical Institute and concurrently he was employed externally as a physician at the II. Internal Clinic, under prof. E.Maixner. Initially, he wanted to focus on internal medicine, however, in 1892 he became an assistant at a psychiatric clinic and began to devote to neuropathology. He won a scholarship of the Medical Faculty and between 1892 and 1893 he worked at the Charcot's clinic for neurological diseases in Paris, where he met with leading figures of the French neurology. At the clinic, he started his major works on the thyroid gland, and also worked with , publishing several papers together.

Haškovec was the first Docent in the field of neuropathology in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1896). He has visited clinics and institutions for neurological and mental diseases in Moscow, Warsaw, Budapest, Krakow, Vienna, Leipzig, Breslau, Munich, Zurich, Belgrade and Berlin. In November 1901 coined the term "akathisia" in the journal, Revue neurologique, and with Jean-Martin Charcot provided an initial demonstration to the Paris Neurological Society after noting that two patients were unable to remain seated. The term derives from the Greek word for "inability to sit down." In 1903, he was appointed a judicial expert in the field of neurological and mental diseases at the Regional Court in Prague. Haškovec lacked a suitable environment needed for his scientific work, and therefore constantly tried to establish a separate neurological clinic. In 1905, he established a small department for neurological diseases at the Brothers of Charity Hospital in Prague, where he was chief of staff (since 1915); this was the first ever neurological department in the area of today's Czech Republic. He became an associate professor in 1906, and full professor in 1919. After the cancellation of the department, he worked in the clinic for neurological diseases in the Laryngologic Institute.
At the 1912 International Congress of Eugenics in London, Haskovec "described the "modern eugenic movement" as an endeavour to apply to society the new biological discoveries of human heredity."
In 1919 he succeeded in establishing of the department for neurological diseases situated in Kaulich's house at the Charles Square in Prague. It later became the core of the new Department of Neurology and was moved to the hospital Na Karlově. From 1925 to 1926, Haškovec served as Dean of the Medical Faculty of Charles University, later as the head of the Neurological Institute (up to 1936). He had a short stint writing for Tožičkovým magazine in 1938.

Works and awards
In his pioneering works, Prof. Haškovec brought the Czech neurology and endocrinology to a high level. He contributed to the description of numerous neurological diseases, some of which bear his name. In 1904, he was the first who observed and described common side effects that are now known to occur during treatment with neuroleptics (some decades before their discovery.) The name of akathisia is still used in various forms () worldwide. He was also interested in anthropology, physical therapy, prevention of neuroses, mental hygiene and child neurology. In 1904, he founded the journal  (Revue in Neurology and Psychiatry), which he edited until 1936 (its successor is the journal Czech neurology and psychiatry). He maintained relations with foreign countries, especially with French neurologists and Slovak doctors. Additionally, he has participated in many international medical congresses. He was a member of numerous Czech and foreign medical associations and societies. During his lifetime, he was awarded several orders and decorations. His 1928 publication  is a "discussion of laws and proposed laws regarding medical certification before marriage in Czechoslovakia."

it is a small point, but it would have been better to have known the arrangements for our pick up from the cresta lodge ahead of our stay there. Otherwise info good.
Chris/ Sabina - there are some points I have not included on our stay to Nkasa which you might find helpful to know. Particularly re the awful track and bridge that you have to negotiate to get to the lodge!
Re Nhoma and Nkasa - we would be very happy to be contacted by other families/ couples contemplating staying at either of these camps, if that would be helpful.

Scandals force Rowbury to relive Olympic disappointment
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) With each new doping scandal, Shannon Rowbury relives her disappointment over the London Olympics.
Six women in the field for the 1,500 meters at the 2012 Games have either been banned or are facing allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. Last week, it was revealed that Turkey's Gamze Bulut, who finished second in the event, is under investigation by the IAAF. Sweden's Abeba Aregawi, the fifth place finisher, is suspended pending a similar investigation.
Turkish runner Asli Cakir Alptekin, who finished first in London, was stripped of her gold medal and is serving an eight-year doping ban. The fourth-place finisher had served a ban before the race.
It stings that minus those who have either been banned or come under doping scrutiny, Rowbury would have won the silver medal.
''These cheaters rob people like me and my competitors of medals,'' she said in a video posted to Facebook following the announcement about Bulut's failed test. ''But they also rob our family, our support group and our country.''
Rowbury is running at the U.S. indoor championships in Portland this weekend. She won the 3,000 meters on Friday evening, finishing well ahead of the runner-up in 8 minutes, 55.65 seconds.
She planned to also run in her signature 1,500 on Saturday. The top two finishers in each event go to the world championships, also in Portland, the following weekend.
The 31-year-old, who trains with Oregon's Nike Project in Portland, wanted to compete in her own backyard before she turns to the outdoor season and a chance at her third Olympics.
''It (the doping scandal) is something that is very upsetting to me, but I have to look forward to the things I think I can do and the things I can control, and want to accomplish,'' she said Thursday prior to the meet. ''I still, God willing, have another shot at an Olympic medal that I can have the right way. I just look forward to the opportunity ahead of me.''
Rowbury, who was a standout at Duke, ran in both the Beijing and London Games. She finished seventh in the field in China, the best finish for an American woman in a modern Olympics. Her London finish set the new mark. She won the bronze medal in the 1,500 at the 2009 world championships in Berlin.
In addition to the video decrying doping in her event in London, Rowbury is one of a number of athletes, including decathlete Trey Hardee, who signed a petition delivered to the IAAF council meeting in Monaco this week that called for financial sanctions for the Russian track and field federation, including the return of prize money. The petition said the funds should be distributed to athletes that were denied winnings.
Marathoner Paula Radcliffe posted to Twitter: ''I back the idea that at the very least all stolen prize money should be repaid before those banned can return to our sport.''
The IAAF suspended Russia in November after an independent report by a World Anti-Doping Agency panel detailed systematic corruption and doping cover-ups in the country. On Friday, the IAAF announced that Russia has not yet done enough to reform its anti-doping program in order to have its athletes reinstated to global competition. The sport's world governing body said it will likely decide in May whether Russian athletes will be readmitted or not in time for the Rio Olympics in August.
But while Rowbury has been vocal about cleaning up track and field, she's an equally passionate athlete who has been busy training for the Olympic push.
''I spent a month at altitude in December, then came back and was able to go straight onto the indoor track. Workouts have been good, I've been focusing on strength but my speed is coming along really well,'' she said.
She certainly appeared in fine form in the 3,000 on Friday night, easily out-kicking the field over the final 400 meters of the race. It was a national title on a journey that will hopefully end in Brazil this summer.

Aside from a really bizarre stretch of weather, this week has passed by without much ado. It was 90 or so Tuesday morning, and after a bunch of wind, dropped to below 50, dumping snow on the mountains again. Kind of a cool thing to see; not cool to experience as it left me with bad headaches and I ended up sick Thursday and Friday.
Cindy had a "ward" baby shower with friends from our ward getting together to hang out and share in the joy of all things baby. "Share" really means "give us stuff"- something I will never complain about. It still seems odd that there are gift-giving parties that aren't birthday related, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth (odd saying, isn't it? Turns out it actually means something. Go Figure.). I've come to realize already that we have some pretty nice friends as they were quite generous in helping us get started with baby-life.
A handful of people have asked us if we registered. At first, I thought they meant wedding registry, but that doesn't make too much sense and I hoped our friends were smarter than that. They were. Turns out you can register for baby gifts. We have a Babies"R"Us up the road from us and that's the "place" to register around here. Personally, I feel odd registering for baby stuff. It kinda feels like we're begging. I mean, it makes sense if people want to be generous and celebrate this with us, but setting up a want list still seems odd. I may be alone on this one, but oh well.
We did end up registering. I got to use a scanning gun again- always a good time. I found, however, that registering for baby things was not at all like registering when were engaged. For one, there are thousands of things we needed before we got married. With the baby coming, there are things we need, but there aren't as many categories to fill this time around. Clothes. Definitely need clothes. The more baby clothes we receive, the happier Cindy gets (something about girls and little baby-clothes; don't quite understand it), so there's no reason to skimp there. After that, we have bottles and diapers and burp-cloths. Pacifiers, more diapers, more burp-cloths. Once we take care of that, there's some toys and maybe first-aid stuff. But that about covers the basics.
Oh, except the BIG stuff. That's the other struggle with registering. If people really want to know what we need/want, it's the expensive stuff. We need a crib. We'll also need a car seat, a stroller, high chair, changing table, glider, breast pump, etc. I don't think any of those are under 75 bucks. So, do I feel comfortable telling people they can drop a bunch of cash on us? Can't say I do. I mean, it's definitely welcome, but I'm not expecting anything more than a congrats and maybe some little baby socks to make Cindy happy. When all was said and done it was fun to see all the junk out there for babies... makes it seem a little more real that there's actually a baby headed our way in a few months.
I loved registering for baby stuff, so much fun, I also love looking at peoples registries. On Babies r us and Target they have recommenced items or popular ones. I also looked on Bobbybest.com under baby and saw his recommendations, They were pretty good. I also searched craigs list and KSL for the items I wanted they were pretty new, We saved a ton there. No reason to fork out ton on stuff people have hardly used. We found a ton on California where my family is and they picked it up for us. Most people had on kid bought everything and then sold it for cheap, that can be the way to go. Any questions I would love to help! Congrats!!!! Any names yet?
I hated registering for that crap quite frankly. Take it from me, Hannah was not the typical baby, so all those bottles and binkies we REGISTERED for, and then RECEIVED as a gift due in part to the registery, well she didnt like ANY of them! Its so hard to register for a baby BEFORE the baby gets here. Honestly, id do simple things like diapers (because you are gonna NEED TONS of those) and wipes, clothes and bibs of course...but wait until the little one gets here and tells YOU what he wants to use...Hannah didnt even LIKE binkies so I have about a million of them in a box somewhere, all different shapes and sizes, and not a one worked for us. She instead sucked on, and still does, her three fingers...yes I said THREE fingers. So, my advice would be, dont sweat all the tiny stuff, especially bottles and crap, just worry about the bigger stuff and look on craigslist if you dont mind second hand stuff. Seriously take my advice!
you can email me and I will email you my address.
Cindy asked for my address. Shoot me a quick email flomedley@yahoo.com and I will email it to you. I just didn't want to post it on a website. Hope everything is going well!

Q: How to set the nodata of Clip raster in postgis to export as tif I'm trying to crop a raster by polygon and export as TIFF data. The problem is how to set the nodata around the polygon in the raster using psycopg2 in python, because the default value is -3.4028234663852886e+38.
I use the code:
 import psycopg2
 conn = psycopg2.connect(database="mydatabase",
                        user="postgres",
                        host="localhost",
                        password="postgresPass")
 cursor = conn.cursor()

 callSaveRaster = "SELECT ST_AsTIFF(ST_UNION(ST_Clip(rast, the_geom))) as img
            from rasterSchema.rasterTable, polySchema.polyTable
            where ST_Intersects(the_geom, rast) and polyTable.gid=1";

cursor.execute(callSaveRaster)

rasterData = cursor.fetchone()

with open("raster.tif", 'wb') as f_out:
    f_out.write((rasterData[0]))


Tim sure can pose those rhetorical questions! Anyone who is familiar with Moodle (or FLOSS in general) is likely to find this FUD amusing but uninspired. The concern I have, however, is that these vacuous statements can be effective in creating uncertainty within schools and departments that are considering the option of adopting Moodle for their teaching and learning. Unchallenged statements about "hidden costs" and "lack of support" can derail decisions.
Thankfully this article balances these troubling statements with examples from two UK school districts that are using Moodle and having great success with it. The school authorities of West Sussex and Buckinghamshire have sizable Moodle installations already and with the vocal support of Ian Lynch, spokesman for the Open Schools Alliance, it looks like Moodle is well on its way to becoming THE international standard.

Welcome to Bergerac Wine Holdings...
Bergerac Wine Holdings PLC ("BWH") was established in order to acquire a chain of luxury chateaux that produce quality wines, and provide a stylish backdrop to art and sculptures, thus creating a luxury wine hotel concept with appeal to deluxe and Ultratravel tourists. BWH will acquire properties exclusively in the prestigious Bergerac wine region, part of the stunning Dordogne river valley.
BWH is registered as a public company in the UK, and is headquartered in the Bergerac region. Its shares are listed on the Vinoxchange in London, Ticker Symbol "BWH". The company has sales offices in the USA and China in order to expand distribution into the key export markets.
The Bergerac wine-growing region is a sub-region of South-West France, located around the town of Bergerac in the Dordogne department, and comprises 93 communes. It is located immediately east of the Bordeaux wine region, effectively an extension of St. Emilion along the Dordogne river. 1,200 wine-growers cultivate an area of 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres). The Bergerac area contains 13 Appellations d'origine contrôlées ("AOC's") for red, white (dry, medium-sweet and sweet), and rosé wines.
The Bergerac vineyards extend across the southern part of the Dordogne department. Bergerac soil also features excellent drainage as a result of its proximity to the Dordogne River.
In 1936, when the boundaries of the Bordeaux wine-growing area were being drawn up, it was decided they should match those of the Gironde department. Bergerac and St. Emilion wines, which had long been sold under the generic name, Bordeaux, had to forge a new and separate identity overnight. The Libourne merchants who had traditionally sold these wines, now gave priority to wines with a Bordeaux label before even attempting to find a market for their other wines.
