Hoda Kotb Is Absolutely Beaming In Photo With Her Newly-Adopted Daughter, And We Couldn't Be Happier For Her
Dennis Matthew Livesey
TODAY co-anchor Hoda Kotb celebrated with friends and family Tuesday after announcing she had just adopted her second child, a baby girl named Hope Catherine.
On Monday, the TODAY star shared a short inspirational message on Instagram writing "Choose Hope", but friends and fans wouldn't know the true meaning behind the message until the next day.
Early on Tuesday, Hoda rang up the rest of the TODAY cast to make a very special announcement: the adoption of her new daughter Hope Catherine Kotb.
Kotb's co-anchors cheered after she announced "It's a girl!" during a phone interview.
Hope is Kotb's second adoption with boyfriend Joel Schiffman after their daughter, Haley Joy, who is two-years-old.
"I'm feeding her, and I can't believe it,'' Hoda told her co-anchors. "I'm so happy she's here!"
Later TODAY shared a photo of Kotb and daughter Haley beaming as they welcomed her new sister to family.
TODAY on Instagram: "Congratulations are in order for @hodakotb, who adopted a second little girl, Hope Catherine, this week. 💕 Link in bio. 👶"
Kotb, 54, first became a mom in 2017 after adopting daughter Haley Joy. Later Kotb realized she wanted to adopt again.
According to Kotb she already had the name picked out before she knew of the adoption.
"We had already thought of the name," Hoda told her co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager Tuesday, saying the word hope appeared in her journal "about ten million times."
"In my heart I was like, 'Please, God, I hope this is something you anticipate for me,'' she said. "To get the call is so mind-blowing, you can't believe someone's saying come and get her, she's here. It's amazing."
After the announcement Hoda's friends and TODAY Show family showered Kotb with well wishes.
Fans also joined in congratulating Hoda on the arrival of her new daughter.
Kotb's daughter Haley Joy seems just as excited as her mom about the arrival of her new sister.
TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on Instagram: "Our hearts are bursting for Hoda and her family after the news she adopted a second daughter. You can read all the sweet details, including…"
"It's been only a few days, but Haley Joy has already embraced her new role," Hoda said.
"This morning at breakfast, (Haley) was trying to feed (Hope) her raspberries, and I was like, 'Not yet, babe,'' Kotb joked with her co-anchors. "She was literally marching around saying, 'I'm a big sister!''
"I think having a sister to go through life with is so important,'' Hoda added. "Joel and I are older parents. I wanted to make sure there was somebody to witness her life."

Can I have a course if I hold a provisional licence?
The offer of a course is entirely at the discretion of the police and depends upon many factors. Being the holder of a provisional licence is not a bar in itself to being offered a course, however if there are other factors apart from the fact that you hold a provisional licence that have been taken into consideration which aggravate the nature of the offence you may not be offered a course. Also if you have had a course within the previous 3 years of your latest offence, this too will make you ineligible for a course offer.

We're excited to announce the launch of UserVoice 3.0, a whole new suite of tools to help product managers better understand their customers and make data-driven product decisions like never before.
At UserVoice, we're in the business of listening to customers and ensuring their happiness, and we practice what we preach when it comes to building our own product. We strive to delight product managers, like yourself, and help them build better products. Our new features provide relevant, actionable data so you can make informed decisions on prioritizing customer preferences in your roadmap.
Our stand-out feature in this release, SmartVote™, helps build consensus within your organization by eliminating ambiguity over the direction of your product roadmap. SmartVote™ gathers statistically significant data related to customer demand, revenue, and return on investment through a single question survey designed to engage even the most casual of users (so you'll have data points beyond your most vocal customers). The end result is a list of product ideas, both internal and external, prioritized by their impact to your business. We're striving to help you make the decisions around what makes it into your roadmap and have the data to answer why.
Advanced Trend Reporting displays the change in velocity of user support at a glance so you can quickly identify hot or trending ideas. You'll be able to see whether user desire for an idea is increasing more quickly or slowly and evaluate whether certain ideas and user concerns remain relevant over time. This, in addition to SmartVote™, gives you even more information to help you prioritize ideas and lets you know whether those ideas are worth building or the demand is no longer urgent. Since these reports show user opinion over a given time, you can also use these reports to close the loop after launch and determine if product changes made a positive impact after release.
Personalized Views and Notifications allows you to save specific filters and gives you one-click access to the information most relevant to you. This is especially helpful for members of bigger teams who want to just access issues and feedback around their own product. You can now save any custom view you create so it's easier than ever to stay on top of your product.
Finally, all these features come in a slick new UI. The new design provides a great experience and improved performance. Just how much better is performance, you ask? Common activities, like browsing your list of suggestions, just got more than 2x faster with our new UI and API.
We hope you're as excited as we are about our new features that are advancing data-driven product management. UserVoice 3.0 starts at $499/month. See detailed pricing here.

Dates: 19 August from 2pm-8pm (Wines, cheeses and cupcakes will be served from 5pm); 20 August from 11am-6pm
Phulkari (literally, "Flower-work" in Punjabi), is a handicraft traditionally practiced in the province of Punjab (North-Western India).
"Virsā – The Heritage" showcases an exquisite collection of Contemporary Phulkari Motifs painstakingly embroidered by Rural Women Artisans in Punjab, India.
Some of these pieces have taken between 300 to 1000 hours of manual work.
This showcase also curates a collection of Acrylic on Canvas Artworks, all of which are inspired by Contemporary and Heirloom Phulkari Patterns, Motifs and scenes that are an integral part of the Punjabi way of life.
Phulkari handicrafts are testimony to the labor of love of women (especially, mothers and grandmothers) who, for months and sometimes years, would lovingly embroider their dreams, memories, surroundings into a piece of fabric making the final "Phulkari" filled to the brim with a certain kind of humanity like no other! Wedding Trousseaus, Parenthood, Matters of Spirituality and Prayer, Chronicling the Village Fair and Curious sights that made up the Scene of Punjab in the Colonial times: The purpose and ambition of Phulkari Handicraft encompassed all this and much more!
Since the Partition of India in 1947, Phulkari has undergone tremendous change, especially in the wake of computer aided design and assembly-line manufacturing. The emptiness of such fabric is as palpable as the "living, breathing, overwhelmingly alive" pieces of hand-made Phulkari.
While the primary endeavor of the Virsā Exhibition is to offer the viewer a glimpse into the colorful world of this beautiful tradition from Punjab and especially, the artisans behind it, its objective is to also trigger the viewer's curiosity to examine what "real" handcrafted traditional Phulkari is.
Virsā – The Heritage is a compassionate Social Enterprise founded by a mother & daughter duo, Dr. Sushma Jaswal, an anthropologist, research scientist for 35+ years and former Professor at one of the leading Universities in India and Nivi Jaswal, a budding artpreneur and with 12 years of International branding & marketing experience in the Consumer Goods & Healthcare sector.
A keen personal interest in Art, Texture & Color and a passion to give back to their Community, Sushma and Nivi are creating a creative community of rural women Artisans of Punjab, India & helping revive the dying Handicraft of Phulkari. Virsā is their endeavor towards that milestone.
At Virsā: we are an International Exhibitor, an Online Store, an Author and a Creative Community of Artpreneurs & Artisans who believe in a more Empathetic & a Fairer planet.

Gliding over the skies of Southern Nevada at an altitude of approximately 70,000 feet, an all-black, single jet engine aircraft dubbed the Dragon Lady made her way to Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada.
As told by Airman 1st Class Bailee Darbasie, 99th Air Base Wing Public Affairs, in the article U-2 enhances Weapons School capstone experience, the U-2, assigned to the 9th Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale AFB, California, traveled to Nellis to enhance the learning environment for U.S. Air Force Weapons School (USAFWS) pilots entering their Weapons School Integration (WSINT), which is a series of complex, large-force employment missions that served as the capstone portion of their USAFWS course.
During her time at Nellis, the Dragon Lady held eyes to the sky as her team of operators ensured a safe landing.
Airmen across the flightline watched in awe as the Dragon Lady circled around the base before coming in for her final approach. Just as the aircraft prepared to land, a chase car raced down the flightline at speeds reaching nearly 150 miles per hour to assist in one of the most difficult landings at Nellis. With a radio in one hand and the steering wheel in the other, the pilot driving the chase car began counting down from 10 to inform the U-2 pilot of the distance in feet between the aircraft and the ground.
The aircraft pilot's view was limited due to the restricting helmet and suit worn while in flight. The purpose of the chase car was to ensure a safe landing for the aircraft and pilot. The wheels of the U-2 have to touch the ground at the same time due to the bicycle-style landing gear or it could bounce and possibly damage the aircraft, explained Capt. Joseph, WSINT participant and U-2 pilot assigned to the 19th Weapons Squadron.
Lt. Col. Joseph, Lockheed U-2 pilot assigned to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base, Calif., assists a U-2 landing while driving a chase car at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
The Dragon Lady was a great addition to WSINT because the aircraft is versatile, continually evolving and an asset that is ready to integrate with other assets.
The Lockheed U-2 is an ultra high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that provides day-and-night, all-weather intelligence gathering.

Q: Xcode 4 crash when opening project cloned or pulled from git repository After pushing my project to remote and pulling it back to the other machine I get this crash when I try to open it in Xcode 4.3.2:

Project package contents:

This happens every time for this project.
I have tried to resolve it by cleaning proect package content form pbxuser and mode1v3 files but with no effect.
What could be the reason of that and how to repair it? Is there any xcodeproj repair tool or analyzer?
May it be fault of my gitattributes file?:
*.pbxproj -crlf -diff -merge

I do not use  .gitignore on tis project (project is quite small).

A: I have had this in the past ... start Xcode on a known good project, close all windows, then go via File->Open to locate the .xcodeproj file, and select your new project. That solved it for me at the time, hope it will for you : had me stumped for a bit.

Earth3D foi desenvolvido como parte da tese de doutorado de Dominique Andre Gunia na Universidade de Tecnologia Braunschweig para exibir um globo virtual da Terra. Foi desenvolvido antes que o Google comprasse o Keyhole, Inc e o transformasse no Google Earth. Earth3D baixa os dados (imagens de satélite e dados de altura) de um servidor enquanto o usuário navega pelo programa. Os dados em si são salvos em um Quadtree. Ele usa dados da NASA, Serviço Geológico dos Estados Unidos, da CIA e da cidade de Osnabruque.

Um dos pontos fortes do Earth3D é a capacidade de mostrar fenômenos meteorológicos, como as áreas de baixa pressão, anticiclones, etc, em tempo quase real.

A versão original do Earth3D foi desenvolvida utilizando framework Qt da Trolltech. Mais tarde, uma versão construída com Java e Java OpenGL foi desenvolvida. Mas a demanda por uma versão baseada em Java foi muito pequena. Isso pode ter sido porque o NASA World Wind também tem uma versão de código aberto em Java. Assim, muitas pessoas queriam usar um globo com a base C + + em suas aplicações. Essa foi a razão pela qual uma versão minimizada foi desenvolvida, o Earth3dlib, que contém apenas as funções necessárias para exibir o globo e para adicionar visualizações próprias a ele.

Todos estes três projetos podem ser obtidos a partir do CVS do Sourceforge (C++) ou do repositório do Subversion (Java) .

Q: MongoCollection findOne vs find I would like to know if there is some improvement on MongoCollection::findOne or if is just an "alias" or "shorcut" to MongoCollection::find with a limit of 1, for example.
Thank you

A: findOne() is an alias of find() with a limit(-1)
You can see this in the source code here. It does the equivalent to
find(...).limit(-1).getNext().
The -1 is actually relevant. Here's a snippet from the wire protocol docs:

If the number is negative, then the database will return that number
  and close the cursor.

If you go to the shell and type > db.collection.findOne (no parens), you can see that the function is also just a helper in the shell.
So, "yes findOne() is just a helper".

A: From the mongo tutorials...

To show that the document we inserted in the previous step is there,
  we can do a simple findOne() operation to get the first document in
  the collection. This method returns a single document (rather than the
  DBCursor that the find() operation returns), and it's useful for
  things where there only is one document, or you are only interested in
  the first. You don't have to deal with the cursor.

A: The MongoCollection::findOne method will directly return the result array and the MongoCollection::find one will return a MongoCursor instance even if it is a single valued result.

A: mongodb.org has an performance test report where they compared findOne and find. Based on the results it would seem that findOne is 35-45% faster.
Few data points from the report:

*

*find_one (small, no index): 989 Ops/s

*find (small, no index): 554 Ops/s

A: It is almost like an alias but instead of return you a list, it returns you an object.

A: It depends on your search query. E.g if you search by ID, since ID is unique it would not need to limit the results because only one result would be found. If more than one record is found then it would limit the results by 1. Another difference is that findOne returns an array, while find returns a mongoCursor.

Hey Masters! Have you heard of Plyo Fridays?
Have you heard of Plyo Fridays and thought 'what the hell is Plyo Friday and what does it have to do with me?'?
Rowing is a wonderful, full-body sport, but that doesn't mean rowers don't benefit from cross-training. Keara F., who recently joined us, noticed that while we erg and row and stretch together, there was an opportunity for cross-training together as well. She ran it by the coaches, and BOOM, Plyo Fridays was born!
Currently on Friday mornings there is no coached rowing, but at 5:15 you can join Keara and whomever else shows up for a quick set-up and warm-up, followed by the workout at 5:30.
"Plyometric workouts focus on using quick and explosive moves with maximum power to strengthen your muscles! It is a high intensity workout that incorporates a combination of stretching and contracting your muscles! Most Plyometric (or Plyo) workouts focus on your lower body for power, strength, balance and agility (how convenient for our wonderful sport!). However, in our Friday morning's we like to add in a little bit of core and upper body work to really round out workout!
Our Plyo Fridays generally consist of 9 different stations set up in a circuit-like training. Each station will focus on a specific part of the body. We work at each station for 45 seconds with high intensity, taking 15 seconds off to catch our breathe and rotate to the next station. We do this same thing at each station until the circuit is complete, then take a few minutes rest before starting the circuit again! We repeat the circuit 4 times before calling it a day.
It really is a fun time and everyone takes each station at their own pace, so no one gets hurt."
This morning as we watched the sun rise over the bay, we ran the stairs, did burpees, high skipped around the room, worked on deadlifts (which Coach Chris will be happy to hear), plank toe touches, squats with tricep presses (press backs? I don't know, ask Keara!), lunges with lateral raises, and more. After some serious time off and surgery recovery, I admit I was a little nervous to jump back in. I should have known better. This is ZLAC, after all. I was, as always, enthusiastically welcomed, and right at home. Everyone really did go at their own pace, and I felt no pressure whatsoever to push myself beyond my comfort zone. (I even spent a couple of stations in child's pose to catch my breath. Judgement level: zero.).
If you have specific questions, Keara is happy to answer them directly. Please email or chat with her - or contact us and we will put you in touch.

17 Ways to Say Sorry in French
BY Sarah Mason
Everyone makes mistakes, so knowing how to say sorry in French is an important part of learning the language. Below are seventeen ways to say sorry in French and how to respond when someone apologises to you.

Knowing how to apologise for any and all mistakes you may make is essential for polite conversation.
The word "sorry" in English can be used in different ways: it can be used as an apology from either yourself or on behalf of a company, or it can be used to offer condolences and sympathise with someone.
In French, there are different ways to say sorry. Unfortunately, there is no single word you use for all situations in French, like in English.
There are ways to apologise that are used more in formal situations, while others are more colloquial and shouldn't be used if you aren't already familiar with someone. These are different from how you would offer your condolences, some of which are also listed in this article.
So, let's begin with the most common way that you can say sorry in French, because it is the one that you are most likely to come across.
Je suis désolé is the phrase that you will want to learn first.
It translates as "I am sorry" and can be adapted by changing the verb conjugation. For example, if you were to be apologising on behalf of a group of you, it would be nous sommes désolés. For more information on how to conjugate the verb "être," take a look at this article.
This phrase can be used when you are talking to anyone, regardless of formality or familiarity. So, if you can't remember which of the other phrases to use, this is the one for you to fall back on. It can also be used to express sympathy, when talking about what someone else is going through.
It is important to remember that as with most adjectives, the word désolé will change depending on the subject. So, for female speakers, désolé becomes désolée and if you are talking about multiple people being sorry, it becomes désolés.
Désolé is the shortened, more informal version of je suis désolé.
As mentioned earlier, this word is an adjective, so it will change spelling slightly depending on who is talking. If you want to learn more about how and why French adjectives change, check out this article.
Désolé can also be used if you are out and about and bump into someone accidentally in a crowded area. This is because it is a short phrase that can be exchanged without spending too much time talking.
Je suis navré is primarily used in serious circumstances, so if you are extremely sorry, or are offering condolences about something very bad happening.
Navré comes from the Old French word nafrer, which means "to hurt by piercing or cutting." Its evolution resulted in its present meaning "broken-hearted," or "sorrowful," which is why it is usually used when "je suis désolé'' doesn't seem to be enough.
It is also important to remember that just like désolé, navré is an adjective so the spelling may change depending on who's using it.
Pardon is generally used in a similar way to désolé due to its brevity. If you were to bump into someone in a crowded street or on public transport, this is one of the words that you could use to apologise.
This way of saying sorry can also be used when you are needing someone to repeat what they have said because you didn't catch it.
Saying pardon when apologising should be fairly easy to remember for English-speakers as it is used in a similar way to "pardon" in English.
Excusez-moi is another phrase that you can use to apologise for bumping into someone. However, it can also be used to get someone's attention if you are needing to get past them or if you are in a restaurant and trying to attract the waiter to you.
In English, it is translated to "excuse me", and excusez-moi is possibly the most well-known way to ask people to move aside for you to get past in French, at least amongst English speakers who are learning French.
If you were wanting to ask directions this would be a good way to start the conversation. For example, if you wanted to know how to get to the train station, you could say "Excusez-moi de vous déranger. Savez-vous où se trouve la gare?" which translates in English to "Excuse me/sorry for disturbing you. Do you know where I can find the train station?"
Try getting familiar with the phrase Excusez-moi de vous déranger, because it means, "Excuse me for bothering you..
Have you ever apologised and afterwards claimed responsibility for whatever you are apologising for?
The phrase c'est ma faute can be used to expand on an apology. For example, you would add it onto the sentence after saying je suis désolé. So, it becomes je suis désolé, c'est ma faute.
If you wish to expand the sentence after using c'est ma faute, it is generally followed by a verb in the conditional tense. For example, je suis désolé. C'est ma faute, j'aurais dû faire attention (I'm sorry. It's my fault, I should have been paying attention).
If you are in a very formal situation, in which even je suis désolé seems too informal, then it is time for you to use veuillez m'excuser. This phrase means "Please accept my apologies."
Veuillez m'excuser is commonly used by companies if there is a delay on your public transport and is used to apologise for any inconveniences you may be facing as a result. For example, Veuillez nous excuser pour la gêne occasionnée (Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.).
In a similar way to veuillez m'excuser, je vous demande pardon is a more formal way of simply saying pardon.
Je vous demande pardon is rarely used in everyday French, but when it is, the phrase can be used as a question if you didn't understand what someone had just said to you.
If you have a basic understanding of French, you will probably be able to guess what "je suis au regret de vous informer" means, as the word "regret" will stand out to you. The whole phrase translates to "I regret to inform you".
Je suis au regret de vous informer is mainly used as a way to say sorry in French through the written word. It is usually seen at the beginning of a formal letter, followed by a rejection.
If you are looking for another phrase involving the word "regret" when you are saying sorry in French, then you could use je regrette.
Je regrette isn't commonly heard but is used in a similar way to je suis désolé. While its literal translation is "I regret," it is loosely translated to mean "I am sorry."
When using je regrette, the sentence usually continues with "de" or "que" as the next word as it would then read "I regret to" or "I regret that." An example of using je regrette in a sentence would be je regrette de ne pas avoir pu le faire (I'm sorry that I couldn't make it.).
Saying sorry in French by using je m'excuse is largely considered as being impolite. This is because it means that you excuse or forgive yourself. So, although it is intended to be a way of asking for forgiveness, it doesn't always come across this way.
Je m'excuse is used in French as a way to say sorry, however if you are learning to speak French, it is best to avoid using the phrase because some people won't be very happy if you choose to apologise this way.
Toutes mes excuses is an informal way to say sorry in French. It is mainly used when talking to friends and family, so isn't very widely accepted at work or with strangers.
This way of saying sorry in French, can be confusing for those who are learning to speak the language as native English speakers. This is because when you see "je suis confus", your mind will automatically associate the word confus with "confuse".
Instead, je suis confus or je suis confuse, is a fairly old-fashioned way of saying "I'm sorry" in French.
So, we have discussed toutes mes excuses, je m'excuse and veuillez m'excusez, but another formal way to use the reflexive verb excuser when apologising is je vais prie de bien vouloir m'excuser.
Je vous prie de bien vouloir m'excuser is a very formal way to say "I will apologise" or "I will beg your pardon" in French.
Another way that you can say sorry in French in formal situations is to use the phrase je vous présente mes excuses. It isn't very often that it is used, but it is slightly more formal than veuillez m'excuser and less formal than je vous prie de bien vouloir.
Je vous présente mes excuses simply means, "I apologise.".
When apologising, especially when saying sorry in French using the phrase je suis désolé, there are certain words that you can use to expand on your apology.
Remember that while "très" is a common adverb meaning "a lot," it isn't an appropriate way to say that you're really sorry in French, instead use vraiment, sincèrement, or profondément.
If you want to say that you are really sorry, and could only remember the phrase je suis désolé, you can add the word "vraiment."
When doing this, the sentence becomes je suis vraiment désolé, which means "I am truly sorry."
Je suis sincèrement désolé is a phrase that can be used to say, "I am sincerely sorry." The word sincèrement is easily recognised by native English speakers due to its similarity to "sincerely."
If you are looking to say that you are deeply sorry for whatever has happened, then the adverb that you can use is profondément, so the statement becomes je suis profondément désolé.
Finding the right words to offer your condolences is one of the toughest challenges that you can face in any language. When someone is grieving, there aren't many, or any words that are strong enough to help them.
While you can use je suis désolé to say, "I'm sorry for your loss," if you are looking for a different phrase to offer your sympathies, you can use mes condoléances or, if you are in Canada, mes sympathies.
Mes condoléances is fairly easy to translate into English. It means "my condolences". This phrase is used in the same way as you would when saying "my condolences" in English as well.
If you wanted to add another phrase to your repertoire in case of this situation, you can say "sorry for your loss," by saying "toutes mes condoléances" which means "all of my condolences" in English.
Or, if you were apologising on behalf of your family, you can swap "mes" for "nos," so the phrase would become "toutes nos condoléances" which means "all of our condolences."
If you are in Canada, you can also say "mes sympathies" when saying sorry for your loss in French.
Mes sympathies literally means "my sympathies."
Learning how to accept apologies and forgive people is almost as important as learning how to apologise and ask for forgiveness.
There are several different phrases that you can learn to show your acceptance when someone apologises to you. These include:
Ce n'est pas grave – This phrase is an informal way to accept an apology and means "it's not dire." It can also be taken to mean "it's fine," or "it's not a big deal."
N'en parlons plus – This means "let's not talk about it anymore."
Je l'accepte – It is fairly easy to take an educated guess at what this phrase means. It can only be used when someone verbally says sorry in French, because it means "I accept it." Je l'accepte is commonly used for phrases like je vous demande pardon.
In English, there is the habit to automatically apologise, even when there is nothing for you to apologise for in a given situation. In French, this isn't always the case, particularly in customer service.
Saying sorry in French is usually reserved for when you are truly sorry, instead of being used for every inconvenience like the weather. So, while the French are polite and will apologise, it is not something that is done as regularly as you would in an English-speaking country.
Because there are such a wide variety of ways that you can say sorry in French, all with varying uses, the main thing to remember is not to become too overwhelmed. If you can only remember one, then let that one be je suis désolé, because it can be used in almost every situation.
If you are looking to learn more ways to be polite when learning French, make sure you look at this article on how to be polite in French.

Exploring the Mariana Trench
Cruise Log
The very deepest reaches of the sea are one of the planet's last true frontiers. That's mostly because a lack of support for needed technological advancements and vehicles has severely limited access to depths beyond 7,000 meters.
But the situation is finally beginning to change, and SOI is helping push the process forward. In November, the institute collaborated with a group of biologists and geologists working aboard R/V Falkor to conduct a new study of one of the deepest places in the world.
The team deployed SOI's new full-ocean-depth landers—frames equipped with cameras, sensors and sample collection devices that return to the surface automatically after a set time on the seafloor—as well as three other landers, in the Mariana Trench's Sirena Deep, near Guam. The work, at depths down to almost 11,000 meters, will help answer enduring questions about the biology of such alien zones, including who lives there and how they survive the massive pressure. The research should also improve understanding of the processes that control earthquake and tsunami formation, among others geological goals. And of course, with so little exploration having been done in the trench, there were surprises.
The original plan for this expedition called for using Woods Hole Oceanographic's Nereus hybrid remotely operated vehicle. But sadly, Nereus was lost earlier this year.
Why It's Still a Frontier
Places deeper than 6,000 meters—known as the hadal zone—have remained a frontier mainly because so few vehicles have ever been built to penetrate such depths. A handful of robotic and manned vehicles can go to 6,500 or 7,000 meters down. But that leaves almost half the ocean's depth range inaccessible, and a collective seafloor area almost as large as Australia.
Only four vehicles have ever existed that could safely work at full ocean depth and none are currently in operation. Of course scientists have found other ways to get limited glimpses of the deepest regions, as they did on this expedition with landers. Work with this type of equipment has been critical—indeed SOI returned to the Mariana Trench in December of 2014 on a second lander project.
Ultimately researchers hope to systematically explore large swaths of the world's deepest trenches to get a more complete view of what is found there. Such work will once again be possible by 2016 as Schmidt Ocean Institute is working with Woods Hole on a new full-ocean-depth robotic vehicle.
Jeff Drazen from University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH), a deep-sea fish expert, was the expedition's chief scientist, while Patricia Fryer, a geologist also at UH, was co-chief scientist. One key goal was to learn more about what animals are found in the trench, and what factors might control these animals' locations and concentrations.
Working with samples caught in traps they also studied the biochemical adaptations that allow animals to survive the crushing pressures in deep trenches, in particular, whether these animals have special compounds to protect proteins in their cells from folding improperly under the crushing pressure. One of the compounds researchers have already found that seems to help some trench dwellers withstand hadal pressure was discovered elsewhere and is being pursued as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's, which involves problems with protein folding in the brain. Other compounds discovered in the trenches might be new to science and could offer similar potential medical or other benefits.
The team also equipped one lander with modified coring devices that inserted a tube into the sediment and meaured the amount of oxygen used by the worms and other small organisms found there. This effort tied to past work suggesting that more food ends up in trenches than previously thought, and that this food—in a range of forms including falling dead phytoplankton, animals, droppings and other materials—could support more life than expected. Food concentrations might also determine where more animals congregate. The oxygen consumption rates offered a measure of the abundance and activity of sediment dwellers that can in turn be compared to location and sediment data to look for patterns in the ways that animals are distributed.
Another lander was equipped with a rock grabber that allowed the team to collect samples that can help answer key geological questions. Trenches form at the places where tectonic plates run into each other, with one falling, or being subducted, underneath the other. That process, along with associated microbial activity, plays important roles in the release and consumption of carbon and minerals. Such cycling is, for instance, a critical factor in the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Much of our understanding of these processes, despite their importance, remains theoretical because they occur so deep that opportunities for study have been extremely rare. Rock and sediment sample analyses could either confirm some of the current understanding of these processes, or reveal new questions scientists need to ask.
Trench subduction zones are also the sites of earthquakes that at times spawn devastating tsunamis. Observations and sample analyses could also help scientists better understand factors tied to these events.
The Falkor expedition was planned as part of the international Hadal Ecosystems Studies program, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic's Tim Shank, who was part of the Mariana Trench team.
The Mariana Trench expedition also included researchers from Whitman College, the University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab, New Zealand's National Instiute of Water and Atmospheric Research, the UK's Natural Environment Research Council, and the National Oceanography Centre, also in the UK. The cruise ran from November 9 to December 9, 2014. Cclick on the buttons in the upper left corner to follow the Cruise Log and the Expedition Map.

As they make their way to greater depth, the team may see fish like this rattail--a common deep-sea species. However, it's not clear whether any fish can live more than 8,000 meters or so down.

Q: Making Json objects using Session Variables in another file
I was trying to make a Json Object of some variables Which I am using as Session variables, But I am not geting the proper Response To make it as Json Object ..
Some Code which I tried (for Reference) Sharing Below..
//Passing the Variable To another PHP File
        session_start();
            $_SESSION['EmailIds']=$strEmailIds;
            $_SESSION['SCHOOL_NAME']=$SCHOOL_NAME;
//sending data to another php page ..
        header('Location: ../SecondPage.php');

In second file SecondPage.php Where i was Using This Session..
session_start();
$SCHOOL_NAME = $_SESSION['SCHOOL_NAME'];//1
$EmailIds= $_SESSION['EmailIds'];//1

Now trying to make this Session Variable in Json OBject...????
var OBJ = jsonObj.(SCHOOL_NAME+EmailIds);// Confuse with THis Line

Actuaaly Not Getting What is the Good Approach To make this variables as Json Objects..
AS I Made this Json Object I can Use This AS another Purpose Like to send as Ajax Data and etc..

A: You can use json_encode method like this :
$someArray; //can be array of your values or $_SESSION
$jsonObj = json_encode($someArray);

A: get session data in an array like :
$data['SCHOOL_NAME'] = $_SESSION['SCHOOL_NAME'];
$data['EmailIds']= $_SESSION['EmailIds'];
then encode it like
$json_obj = json_encode($data);


Where can you fly a drone in Sheffield?
Drone field, sorry couldn't resist that, seriously I've seen them flown in Longshaw and surrounding moorland, however you'll not be welcome where stock is grazing.
Th above link will put you in the picture.
It does make it clear that you are not permitted to fly a drone on Longshaw Estate as suggested by an earlier poster.
If you take the trouble to read my post I said that I had seen them flown on the Longshaw Estate, where did I suggest that the O P should do so without requesting permission?
Did you actually mean to ask a question without one of these?

Q: Jackrabbit XPath Query: UUID with leading number in path I have what I think is an interesting problem executing queries in Jackrabbit when a node in the query path is a UUID that start with a number.
For example, this query work fine as the second node starts with a letter, 'f':
/*/JCP/feeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93/label//*[@sequence]

This query however does not, if the first 'f' is replaced with '2':
/*/JCP/2eeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93/label//*[@sequence]

The exception:
Encountered "-" at line 1, column 26.
Was expecting one of:
<IntegerLiteral> ...
<DecimalLiteral> ...
<DoubleLiteral> ...
<StringLiteral> ...
 ... rest omitted for brevity ...
     for statement: for $v in /*/JCP/2eeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93/label//*[@sequence] return $v

My code in general
def queryString = queryFor path
def queryManager = session.workspace.queryManager

def query = queryManager.createQuery queryString, Query.XPATH // fails here
query.execute().nodes

I'm aware my query, with the leading asterisk, may not be the best, but I'm just starting out with querying in general.  Maybe using another language other than XPATH might work.
I tried the advice in this post, adding a save before creating the query, but no luck
Jackrabbit Running Queries against UUID
Thanks in advance for any input!

A: A solution that worked was to try and properly escape parts of the query path, namely the individual steps used to build up the path into the repository.  The exception message was somewhat misleading, at least to me, as in made me think that the hyphens were part of the root cause. The root problem was that the leading number in the node name created an illegal XPATH query as suggested above.
A solution in this case is to encode the individual steps into the path and build the rest of the query.  Resulting in the leading number only being escaped:
/*/JCP/_x0032_eeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93//*[@sequence]

Code that represents a list of steps or a path into the Jackrabbit repository:
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.util.ISO9075;

class Path {
    List<String> steps; //...

    public String asQuery() {
        return steps.size() > 0 ? "/*" + asPathString(encodedSteps()) + "//*" : "//*";
    }

    private String asPathString(List<String> steps) {
        return '/' + StringUtils.join(steps, '/');
    }

    private List<String> encodedSteps() {
        List<String> encodedSteps = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String step : steps) {
            encodedSteps.add(ISO9075.encode(step));
        }
        return encodedSteps;
    }
}

Some more notes:
If we escape more of the query string as in:
/_x002a_/JCP/_x0032_eeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93//_x002a_[@sequence]

Or the original path encoded as a whole as in:
_x002f_a_x002f_fffe4dcf0-360c-11e4-ad80-14feb59d0ab5_x002f_2cbae0dc-35e2-11e4-b5d6-14feb59d0ab5_x002f_c

The queries do not produce the wanted results.
Thanks to @matthias_h and @LarsH

A: An XML element name cannot start with a digit. See the XML spec's rules for STag, Name, and NameStartChar. Therefore, the "XPath expression"
/*/JCP/2eeadeaf-1dae-427f-bf4e-842b07965a93/label//*[@sequence]

is illegal, because the name test 2eead... isn't a legal XML name.
As such, you can't just use any old UUID as an XML element name nor as a name test in XPath. However if you put a legal NameStartChar on the front (such as _), you can probably use any UUID.
I'm not clear on whether you think you already have XML data with an element named <2eead...> (and are trying to query that element's descendants); if so, whatever tool produced it is broken, as it emits illegal XML. On the other hand if the <2eead...> is something that you yourself are creating, then presumably you have the option of modifying the element name to be a legal XML name.

Located between the lakes of Nemi and Albano on the Via Appia Nuova, south-east of Rome, Ariccia was celebrated for its groves, thought to have been the hunting-grounds of the goddess Diana. The area was a haunt of Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675) and this work reflects his style. The view was described by Benjamin Booth as 'Marble Caverns at Lerici' (Doc. 8) and 'Marble Quarries at La Riccia & Convent' (Doc. 9)

Dubai Trade online gateway processes AED 1bn in payments
Rosoom payment gateway handles one billion dirhams and over one million transactions in four years
Tags: Dubai Trade (www.dubaitrade.ae), E-commerce, United Arab Emirates
Rosoom provides a range of online payment options to entities that fall under the Dubai Trade banner.
By Mark Sutton Published July 17, 2012
Dubai Trade has announced that more than one billion dirhams and over one million transactions, have been processed through its Rosoom payment gateway since it was launched nearly four years ago.
The Rosoom gateway delivers a range of online payment options, including credit, debit and prepaid cards such as eDirham, through a single gateway, which covers more than 800 online e-services of DP World, Economic Zones World, Dubai Customs and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, in addition to several leading banks, all of which are integrated under the Dubai Trade umbrella.
The gateway, which is also integrated with the payment systems of several banks in the region, provides secure and flexible online payment, for importers and exporters, shipping agents, freight forwarders, customs brokers and transport companies to initiate and complete online all the procedures and processes, including payment, for the various services and facilities offered by DP World, Jafza and DMCC.

HE Jamal Majid Bin Thaniah, chairman, Dubai Trade, said: "This is yet another milestone for both Dubai Trade and the trading community. We look forward to see the rest of the 70,000 companies involved in cross-border trading in the UAE that have not yet adopted Dubai Trade eServices to join in and reap the benefits of using Rosoom facilities. We are heading steadfast towards more milestones in future in facilitating trade and supporting UAE's economy and international status."
Eng Mahmood Al Bastaki, CEO, Dubai Trade, said: "This is a great show of confidence in Dubai Trade's e-solutions by the trading community, considering that we launched Rosoom only about four years ago. The number of companies adopting Dubai Trade eServices platform has been growing steadily and the number of transactions has been almost doubling every year.
"What is remarkable about Rosoom's performance is that while digital payment systems tend to encounter occasional hitches that may delay or disrupt processes or display security gaps, the one billion dirham which involved more than one million transactions have all been successfully completed with no major complaints from users, no downtime instances and no fraud cases. Millions of dirhams pass every week through Rosoom in complete safety and security," he added.

One year on from the launch of a reading scheme for fathers, Home-Start Arun, Worthing and Adur has spoken of the difference it has made to families in the area.
Fathers Reading Every Day, known as FRED, has seen 21 dads engage with the programme in the past 12 months, with 92 per cent seeing the benefits in their family.
The initiative aims to support fathers and help them bond well with their children through reading together.
Jane Lyons, FRED co-ordinator, said: "Even if dads aren't living with their children, a version of FRED can be achieved, by reading each time they are together, in a library, in the car, café or at home.
"Homes without books is not a problem, as you can read the cereal packets or free newspapers. It all helps their language development. Right from birth, dads can read to their children and they will benefit.
The practical four-week programme demonstrates the wider benefits of reading regularly to babies and young children.
Jane said reading enabled closeness between parent and child, strengthened the bond and was a precious time in the day for the family to take a breather and enjoy stories.
One dad who has completed the course, Lee Porter, works a fair distance from the family home and has only a short time with his children at bedtime. He said thanks to FRED, he now reads with his three children of ten, eight and five every day.
Lee and his family have joined the library again and are enjoying selecting books together, with those featuring dinosaurs and animals the most popular choices.
He added: "We now sit down the three of us, with the younger two, and read together. Reading is better if someone is listening.
Lee said FRED had helped the family to establish as a positive routine which they all look forward to during the week.
Jane said Home-Start would love to extend the programme to more dads and Father's Day was the perfect time to reflect on the benefits it can bring to all the family. For more information, or to donate funds or new books, telephone Jane on 01903 889707.
