'The Tramp' (Extracts)
by Frank Gray
Frank Gray disguised as a tramp. In the late 1920s, newspaper proprietor and former Oxford MP Frank Gray recorded his undercover experiences in the casual wards of Oxfordshire workhouses which he visited disguised as a tramp. Gray was a strong advocate of helping young tramps escape the downward slope of life on the road. He regularly provided accommodation for such men at his own home, Shipton Manor. Gray was particularly struck by the dire conditions in the Headington "spike", which were in strong contrast to its much more well-appointed neighbour a mere two miles away in Oxford. However, Headington was still popular with tramps because there was virtually no supervision
We reach the gates. It is not six o'clock yet. With some eighteen others we loaf, huddle, and cringe before the gate. There is one woman among us. Women tramps are scarce; but all tramp women look like tramps. All men tramps don't. This is curious, for in every other walk of life women are the better dissemblers.
The gates open; we walk up the garden. A clerk takes particulars under a lamp at the front door, and we pass to the back, isolated from the higher grade of the workhouse, the permanent inmates. We shamble into this workhouse from the outer world, and then past the quarters of the permanent inmates to our den at the back midst the refuse heaps, wellnigh like lepers-the unclean.
I made a slip as I gave my answers, for I noticed the clerk momentarily start as he detected a pitch of voice unusual in a casual ward. I must be more careful thereafter.
In the Thame workhouse there is no strict search; there is no suggestion of a bath or a wash. We retain our clothes and sleep in some of them. To-night I have a pillow - my boots with my trousers wrapped over them. We sleep on boards on a gradient raised from the floor, and the slope helps sleep.
As we arrived at this workhouse and answered the stereotyped questions - as listlessly as they were asked - we received our hunk of bread, and with it we said good-bye to all officialdom and supervision and entered the casual ward. As the tramps have lost heart so have the officials.
Here the casual ward is a long narrow apartment with an overflow department upstairs. In the apartment I am in downstairs there is a sort of ante-room, just big enough for three; it is the antechamber of the lavatory - indeed it is part of the unsavoury arrangement whereby a tramp may wash, if he has not already lost heart and realized that in the general discomfort and squalor cleanliness has lost its meaning and its values.
Here, unclean and unhappy, I lie in a chamber already the home of body vermin and house vermin. With such hospitality as this, what do I owe to society?
So thinks the tramp, to whom society accords no future and no dawn.
I get into this ante-apartment with two other tramps. Of these, one has given his age as sixty-seven, and the other as eighty-four years. The first is "Bill," and the other "Dad." I don't think the latter is eighty-four, but think of him - if he is only seventy-four - aimlessly wandering through the sewers of society to reach no terrestrial home! This poor old man may be to blame - society must be.
He tells me he was once in the Oxford "spike" for six months as a permanent inmate, although they had not been able to establish any "settlement" by birth or residence. You can't in a tramp of sixty years.
You do not know his real name. Nor does he! He says he left Oxford because all the others had their local friends who left them little "delicacies," or money to buy delicacies. It seemed terrible to him to watch others have little delicacies like tobacco and to be denied himself. He could not stand it, and took again to the "open road." Afterwards I am to sleep in two other "spikes" with "Dad." All the officials are particularly good to him. "Bill" is a fund of information and deep cunning. He talks much to me before going to sleep. He opens the conversation as he crowds in to lie beside me, with a sniff and the words: "There are bugs in the walls here; I can smell them." He is right, for in fact at this time this casual ward is dirtier than the dirty men who use it.
The doors open, the "tramp major" in charge lets us in; we push to get front places, to answer questions hurriedly, and snatch our piece of bread. Then we go into the casual ward without any suggestion of a search or a bath, or indeed a wash. We are locked and bolted in. How curious it is that any one should be afraid that we may abscond from the hospitality given us!
The ward is a narrow building, perhaps eleven feet wide and eighteen yards long, four feet of the width being passageway till this stone passage becomes sleeping accommodation under pressure for space. On the right, as you enter, is a sloping platform, starting nine inches from the stone floor and rising to a height of eighteen inches against the wall. This platform is broken up by nine-inch upright boards, fourteen inches apart.
It looks in the gloom like a row of coffins, and each tramp who is quick enough to get in claims one. He thinks himself lucky in getting it. Every one else sleeps on the floor, under this erection or in the passageway.
At the end of this ward — a cold outbuilding — and only partly partitioned off, is a foul lavatory and bath, unused and unusable for washing. This was all we were given at Headington, however great or small the number requiring accommodation.
Nobody has to sleep under the raised boards to-night, in the dirty, high-windowed, elongated cell, with the almost uncovered combination of bath and cesspool at the end. The young tramp and I sleep in our clothes, for there is neither search, baths, nor handing over of raiment in this hell, where all men are at last equal.
In society we all believe we have our inferiors, if not our superiors. This first belief fades in the Headington casual ward. Reproduce this casual ward in any gaol in England and the nation would cry "Shame!"
There is one candle to light the fifteen yards of humanity, and two Irish tramps arriving late and in drink quarrel with the rest of us locked in this cell as to the exact position where this candle shall stand. Why do we quarrel in this black hole — in this horror of filth and indecency ? Why, in truth, do we want this candle at all to cast shadows in this hole of shame?
Morning has come; the dirt-laden grills of our cell say so. There is a shout from the porter for the production of unemployment cards by those who can produce them. There is not one, for none of us here is a genuine worker. Had we cards we should produce them, for by doing so we gain our immediate release, without task or work. Like the rest I have no card, so I perforce do three hours' sawing.
The task is over. I am again on the "open road," on the outskirts of Oxford, and less than two miles from the Oxford workhouse, where I intend to stay to-night. I have passed through Headington Union. I might have passed in an advanced stage of carrying smallpox, at death's door, or mad, and yet have remained uncared for and unnoticed.
I reach the grounds of the Oxford workhouse, pass through the long foregrounds, and track out the casual ward. I sit on the ground outside. The concourse of tramps here gathers by twos and threes.
It must want many minutes to six o'clock when a permanent inmate passes and says: "Why don't you go in ? It 's been open for a long while." We enter a brightly lighted room with spotlessly clean tables and forms, and to these are brought bread, margarine, and cocoa, before any inquisition, search, or inquiry is held; for this is an institution which has not lost its soul.
"Dad" is of the gathering. He sits next to me. He pours a little sugar into my mug of cocoa — the widow's mite — a much greater act from a tramp to a tramp than it may appear.
The meal at the Oxford casual ward is over. The porter calls first for those who have come from Woodstock. A lot get up — so do I — and the porter says: "You are as deaf as I am." In a later class I get up again. I am searched. How well I know the porter and how well he knows me! But he does not recognize me. I am passed on to a permanent inmate, who is lending a hand — and he superintends me while I strip with others, pile my bundle of rags on theirs, and take my bath. There is certainly more ceremonial about the bath at Oxford, and no man is entitled to complain if he uses the water after another — some use it without complaining. You see this consideration becomes a mere unnoticeable detail in the general horror of life as a tramp.
I get a workhouse shirt, go into a spacious, healthy, and clean department, and, best of all, to a spring bedstead, straw mattress, and straw pillow. There is sufficient space, too, between the bedsteads. We are treated like decent men. Some of us are, and all have got a great deal of good in them. If men's hearts could be searched it would be found that this better treatment has more than once stirred that latent better spirit to rise from the level of the tramp and the outcast.
And so to sleep.
On the morrow my task before release is to scrub the floors of two large outhouse dormitories, apparently overflow casual wards.
We are now about to parade for our departure. I see "Dad" at the parade. I watch a young official go up to him and hear him say: "Why don't you stop here with us, Dad ? You are too old for this game now. You will be getting knocked down on the road." At this act of kindness a tear comes to the old man's eye — he is still capable of responding — and then he passes out, passes out to pick up the trail of death.
As I walked from the Oxford workhouse, released, I reflected that there were two "spikes" within two miles of each other conducted on very different lines. It might fairly be supposed that if my description of the two be correct, Headington would be deserted by tramps and Oxford overcrowded. This is not so, and there are good reasons why — reasons taking you to the heart of the problem of vagrancy.
Seven out of ten tramps stayed at both Headington and Oxford on the same journey. A tramp said to me: "I hate to be — — and — — about," and when he has said this he has expressed the terms in which many tramps think. They like to be left to their own devices, and to gain this they will put up with a lot of filth and beastliness.
We tramps are all the same just under the skin. We prefer a dungheap and a cigarette to a clean prison cell and fifty questions. Do not think, late Guardians, that by locking dirty men with hunks of bread in a dirty, insanitary hole without interference, question, or inquiry, you could have emptied your casual wards.

The new Flood Education & Engagement Plan for Greater Melbourne is being designed, supported by VICSES. Have your say by completing a short survey on your understanding of and attitudes towards flood risks.
In the Melbourne area floods occur with little to no warning, necessitating the community to recognise environmental signals and respond appropriately. Under such circumstances, community education is essential to ensure the community is prepared and know the appropriate responses to flooding. There are 130,000 properties known to be subject to flooding. Beyond those directly affected, there are potentially 1,000,000 or more people affected by floods when we consider the indirect impact on transport, education, health, energy and water infrastructure networks.
This innovative, interactive and engaging Flood Education and Engagement Plan for Greater Melbourne is being designed with the support of VICSES, with the objective of improving and strengthening local community engagement. You can have your say by completing this short survey on your understanding of and attitudes towards flood risks. Thank you for your input!

Have you ever had a glaze that kept settling to the bottom of your bucket? This is a common problem for glazes prior to firing, and may also result in firing problems. When a glaze settles out, some of the heavier components of the glaze settle to the bottom of the container. If you try to use this glaze without thoroughly remixing you will be applying a glaze with key ingredients missing. A glaze stays in suspension due to the presence of various types of clays, such as bentonite, and/or gums, such as CMC. One common cause of settling out is the addition of too much water to the glaze, which dilutes the effect of the suspending agents and allows some of the glaze ingredients to settle out. Another possibility is the growth of bacteria which will consume an organic gum, such as CMC, and will lead to loss of suspension. To prevent bacteria growth do no return used glaze, which has been poured out of the original container, back into the original container. Also do not introduce possibly contaminated objects, such as brushes, into the original container. Storing glaze in a hot or sunny environment may also encourage bacteria growth. Freezing can also destroy the action of CMC. And glaze ingredients such as frits, nepheline syenite, soda feldspar and other slightly soluble materials slowly release sodium ions which can deactivate the suspension agent, making it ineffective.
If a glaze has settled out, but has not gone rock hard in the bottom of the container, you can add CMC or bentonite, if you happen to have it. But especially if you're dealing with commercial glazes you probably don't have that lying around. However, you can also use Epsom salts to suspend your glaze. Epsom salts can be readily purchased in most drug stores. First you need to create a saturated solution of Epsom salts by dissolving them in a cup of warm water until no more will dissolve. Then add this solution slowly and carefully to the glaze while continuously stirring the glaze. It should require less than approximately one teaspoon of Epsom salt solution per gallon of glaze. The quantity will depend on the severity of the problem. If a glaze has gotten too hard at the bottom to mix back up, first try my favorite glaze-stirring tool, a handheld kitchen stick blender. If that doesn't work, drain all the liquid off, work on dissolving the solid into the Epsom salt / water mixture, then add the rest of the glaze liquid back in.

Q: What build target and min SDK version should you choose? Hey, I'm building just a basic app with text, urls, pictures, and some buttons.
When you create a new project what build version do you usually choose? The highest, 2.2?
And also what min SDK version do you choose? Also 2.2? or the lowest one possible?
I'm a little confused by what would be best for all customers
-Thanks!

A: You should choose what you want to support.
If you want the latest API features, choose 2.2 (or soon 2.3).  But if you want to include all possible phones, you need to go as low as 1.5 for the min target.  The catch is that if they are using a 1.5 device you have avoid making API calls that only exist in a later version of Android.

A: It just depends on what you want to do. If you want to support multiple Android versions then do what Falmarri said. Select the lowest API version you want to support for minSDK and choose the API version you are targeting for the buildTarget.
However you have to keep in mind that you might have to handle certain stuff in a different way for different API versions which might require if-else blocks checking for the API version. It is nothing hard to do nor something magic just keep it in mind and check the reference page on the classes and methods you use.

A: My two cents worth is that I am also investigating this question. With the exception of this page, I also found the following official statistics to be helpful.
http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
Also, if you already have applications published in the market you can get data on how your specific application is perceived by your audience, this may help you to choose.
From a personal perspective, at the time of writing I am going to set my minimum version to 2.2 as this is the minimum API level required to write applications that use OpenGL ES 2.0.
(slightly off topic, but to qualify the statement about OpenGL ES 2.0 http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/opengl/opengl-es20.html)

The Town of Milliken wanted a special way to recognize all veterans, especially those current residents and former residents of the area.
The Veterans Memorial is located at the Milliken Police Station and stands as a reminder and symbol of the sacrifice these men and women make and have made for our country.
Freedom has its cost and honoring those who pay that debt is of utmost importance.
Thank you to all who have and continue to protect us all.
"Tis only about a year ago that the local people heard with extreme sorrow and proud admiration of the supreme sacrifice of one of our own local boys, who went at the call of Uncle Sam and took up the fight for freedom and humanity for the entire world. That was Marine Lester March, who fell in active duty, after returning from a stay in the hospital after a minor wound.
It is fitting that his memory should be perpetuated by the citizens of this town and community. Practically every one of whom knew him personally and loved him, more so now than when we could see him and speak to him. His memory is the shining bright star of Milliken's patriotism, and example to the future generations of this community.
Today two women have been around coming to citizens taking subscriptions for a bronze tablet with suitable engraving, this tablet to be placed in some public place in town, probably the school house or the base of the flag pole.
This scheme was originated and is being carried out by Mrs. C.C. Fuson and Mrs. O.L. Altvater and as they come to you for a little donation toward it, give what you can to help a worthy cause along.
They inquired into the matter and have the tablet at the monumental works in Greeley, and the expense of buying this will be a little over $100, then the placing of the same will add a little more to it, so be liberal enough to help push the thing to a successful conclusion.
When the tablet is placed, it has been suggested that there be some suitable exercise and a local holiday declared while it is being put in place.
If you have not been solicited for this, send a dollar or two to the ladies with your name, or leave it at one of the business places in town with instructions that it reach the right parties.

Chicago Cubs - cellophane
Back from Chicago.... The Cubs game was a whole lot of fun! I'm not much of a sports fan, but I do love a good ball game. Here is my review from a "don't know much about sports" perspective.
It started out incredibly quiet, as nobody scored any runs for the first 5 innings. It was fun to watch, but a bit boring. Then things got interesting. This one Cub was batting and there were two strikes and two outs. To my surprise, everybody started cheering, louder and louder, then everybody stood up and made tons of noise as the next pitch was thrown -- and he hit it out of the park for the game's first score. I was like, "Oh, is that all it takes? Standing up and cheering? Why didn't we think of that sooner?"
The Cubbies woke up and this point and started hitting the balls all over ("What happened," I asked, "did somebody deliver some coffee to the dugout or something?"), and made three runs. The next inning, they made another. We started the final inning with the Astros at bat, the Cubs ahead 4-0. We all kind of figured the game was done. Just gotta get three outs, and we all go home early.....
Then they let a new pitcher out of the dugout. The first two pitches he threw resulted in home runs. Then he proceeded to get hit by the ball as he let a base hit go by, then before they got him off the mound he managed to hit the next batter, allowing him on base also! The fans were outraged, waving hats and curses. He was booed off the field. I was laughing in delight at the turn things had taken, even while booing him myself. I mean, that pitcher was crap. It's got to be hard work to do such a terrible job! Also, I just love it when sports fans get feisty.
Despite getting rid of that pitcher, two more runs were let by and the Astros tied the game in the ninth inning, 4-4. Things were tense as the Cubs came up to bat one final time -- but they pulled it off. First a walk, then a bunt, then a nice hard hit that sent the guy home. Wheeee, Cubs win! A very satisfying ending.
That night M and I enjoyed a pub crawl around Wriglyville, me Tiny Tim-ing around with my single crutch. We visited a couple of Irish bars, then landed at a dueling piano bar which was a total blast. The piano bar even had a pole mounted between the pianos, and people were encouraged to get up on the pianos and pole dance! The musicians were awesome, and it was a lot of fun. (No, neither M or I tried any pole dancing.)
This morning I got together with all of my family member in that area, and we had brunch and a late mother's day celebration. It was quite lovely. Then a long drive home, and now I'm getting ready for my first day on the new job tomorrow. Better get some sleep!

Q: Discontinuous group homomorphism from $(\mathbb{R},+)$ to $S^1$,unit circle It is well known that if $\gamma:(\mathbb{R},+)\rightarrow S^1$ is continuous homomorphism, then $\exists y\in\mathbb{R}$,such that $\gamma(x)=e^{ixy}$.
Show that there is a discontinuous homomorphism $\gamma:(\mathbb{R},+)\rightarrow S^1$, and if $\gamma:(\mathbb{R},+)\rightarrow S^1$ is a homomorphism that is a Borel function, then $\gamma$ is continuous.

A: As this question popped up recently, let me sketch the solution.

*

*Regard $\mathbb R$ as a vector space over $\mathbb Q$. Fix a (necessarily uncountable) Hamel basis. Then you will find plenty of discontinuous $\mathbb Q$-linear functionals (for example by considering evaluations at basis elements). Fix one and call it $h$.

*Consider the map $x\mapsto e^{i h(x)}$. Show that it is a discontinuous homomorphism.
As for the second part of your question, invoke Pettis' theorem, originally proved in:

B.J. Pettis, On continuity and openness of homomorphisms in topological groups, Ann. of Math. (2) 52, (1950), 293–308.

BFS vs DFS
- The simple answer to this question is that it depends on the size and shape of the tree.
- For wide, shallow trees use Breadth First Search
- For deep, narrow trees use Depth First Search

More info:
- Because BFS uses queues to store information about the nodes and its children, it could use more memory than is available on your computer.  (But you probably won't have to worry about this.)
- If using a DFS on a tree that is very deep you might go unnecessarily deep in the search.
- Breadth First Search tends to be a looping algorithm.
- Depth First Search tends to be a recursive algorithm.

The Evolution of the Disney Princess Anthem
Yesterday, Disney released a new music video of Auli'i Cravalho performing the latest incarnation of the Disney Princess anthem, "Live Your Story." The video looks like your average Disney Channel pop remix even though it's performed by an actual Disney Princess instead of a Disney Channel pop star. It works to Disney's benefit that the actress they cast for Moana was so young, considering their obsession with creating teen pop stars. The music video contains clips of a magical bedroom with subtle nods to Disney Princess movies, a balloon-filled bubble room and some shots that look similar to The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles, hearkening to Belle's library. This video is the latest in a long line of Disney Princess anthem songs that date as far back as 2004.
The first Disney Princess anthem, called "If You Can Dream," was released as a bonus song on the Disney Princess Sing Along Songs Volume 1 DVD in 2004. The song was alongside a video made entirely of Disney movie clips, something that was very popular at the time. I, myself, had made many Disney Princess fan music videos under the handle of Lady Heartilly. "If You Can Dream" was also a big deal because it was the first time all of the original singing voices of the Disney Princesses got together to perform an original track. It was very similar to what the Wreck-It Ralph sequel is doing with spoken dialogue. The song was a beautiful arrangement with lovely instrumentals and breath-taking harmonies by some of the most beloved princess voice artists. Its lyrics were a little cheesy, often borrowing from each princess's most famous song, with lines such as "It's a tale as old as time," "The colors of the wind will lead my heart right back to you," and "There's a whole new world waiting there for us." The song matched the themes represented by the Disney Princess movies leading up to the late '90s, but it quickly became outdated after the turn of the century, which is why it didn't get as much publicity as it arguably deserved.
On the second Disney Princess Sing Along DVD in 2005, there was a similar music video mash-up called "Where Dreams Begin." This one did not catch on nearly as well as "If You Can Dream," on account of having an unknown singer and an overly synthesized sound to it. It wasn't the worst song in the world, but the melody did not scream "Disney Princess" like its predecessor did. The lyrics were pretty similar, but they were a bit more modern and generic. "Where Dreams Begin" was the first Disney Princess anthem that sounded like it could be a Disney Channel pop song, even though I'm not sure if it ever actually aired on Disney Channel. Since it never quite caught on, "If You Can Dream" was still generally accepted as the Disney Princess anthem for the following decade until the "Dream Big, Princess" campaign in 2016, where it was replaced with "Hall of Fame" by The Script featuring will.i.am. This song had an enormous marketing platform with tons of Disney Princess mash-up videos all over social media, causing it to overshadow the outdated "If You Can Dream."
I always thought "Hall of Fame" was an odd choice for a Disney Princess anthem, as it clearly wasn't written for that purpose. The song was released about five years before Disney started using it for their campaign, and the lyrics don't apply directly to the Disney Princess movies. It's pretty obvious that Disney only used it to try to create a wider appeal for their princesses and show the world that they were rejecting their old themes that could be considered anti-feminist by some people, such as needing to be rescued and find love. Of course, the presumed negative effects of princess culture on society are highly debatable. The thing that bothered me the most about "Hall of Fame" is that the song was performed entirely by male singers when it was supposed to promoting female empowerment. Sure, it was played over footage of girls being active and doing impressive feats such as scuba diving, rock climbing, and winning races, but wouldn't it make more sense to back up those images with an empowering female voice? I guess someone at Disney finally realized that out a few months ago because the song was replaced earlier this year with "Live Your Story."
"Live Your Story" was written and performed by an unknown singer (at least to me) named Tina Parol. It was a better fit for the Disney Princess movies than "Hall of Fame" on account of the fact that the lyrics were actually written to fit the "Dream Big, Princess" campaign. The footage of girls being active was very similar to that of the previous music video, but now it was accompanied by a female performer telling girls to "dream, see, write, live your story." This makes more sense than "standing in the hall of fame" because the Disney Princesses were never in competition with other people. They were princesses because they were either born into it or married into it. "Live Your Story" is more about dreaming of adventure and love and actively pursuing what you want. I like that the song reminds us that most of these movies originated from stories that are several hundred years old. Disney Princesses inspire girls to go on adventures and write their own story exactly as the song states. The only thing that was missing from the good old days of "If You Can Dream" was the voice of an original Disney Princess. Having Auli'i Cravalho release a cover of it resolves that issue. I appreciate that Disney continues to update their movies to match with modern feminist ideals, but I still miss the calming instrumentals and harmonizing vocals of "If You Can Dream."

Court Sets Final Deadlines in George Zimmerman Case
By Jeralyn, Section Crime in the News
Posted on Tue Feb 19, 2013 at 03:04:44 PM EST
Tags: George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin, Shellie Zimmerman (all tags)
Judge Debra Nelson has issued this order setting final deadlines for the immunity hearing and trial of George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's legal team released this statement saying that it raised $28,000. in the past three weeks and can now retain some experts. It needs much more, and soon, as the deadline for disclosing experts is March 27.
Also today, the judge in the Shellie Zimmerman perjury case denied a motion to dismiss alleging that State's Attorney Angela Corey lacked authority to prosecute the case: [More...]
[Zimmerman's attorney] argued that because his client's testimony happened in Seminole County – not Jacksonville, where Corey was elected - she does not have jurisdiction.
Prosecutor John I. Guy contends that the executive order by Gov. Rick Scott, naming Corey special prosecutor, authorized her to investigate and prosecute "all matters pertaining to the death of Trayvon Martin."...The judge sided with the state. She said that because the statements being challenged happened at a bond hearing for Trayvon's killer, the governor's executive order was broad enough.
Zimmerman's lawyer says she will be acquitted because she did not commit perjury. He said, "it's all about the specificity." I think he's right, for these reasons.

qualify for a court-appointed attorney (experts paid by the government) absent the defense fund? And, if so, wouldn't it be prudent on his part to take advantage of both? Seems unwise to forgo experts due to lack of funds when faced with 2nd degree murder charge.
Wouldn't that eliminate (1.00 / 1) (#2)

New Roomba Discovery comes with remote control and wall mounting.
Would you like someone else to vacuum the kitchen floor? Let the Roomba™ Floor Vac handle that!
Roomba™ Robotic Floor Vac with remote control cleans and sweeps automatically, even when you're not home! This futuristic robot is like a spiraling pool cleaner that automatically vacuums and sweeps up dirt, dust, spilled cereal and pet hair from the carpet, hardwood floors and kitchen tiles.
Adjustable timer allows you to customize its run time based on the size of the room. Side brush thoroughly sweeps along walls, kitchen baseboards and other hard-to-reach corners.
To see some reviews of our hoover / vacuum cleaners and compare vacum cleaner prices, click here.
The Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner is an innovative "cordless" domestic robot vacuum cleaner that automatically cleans up dust and dirt at a press of a button.
The robotic hoover / vacum cleaner sweeps up from short pile carpet, hardwood floors, & tiled floors. This cordless hands free vacum cleaner is the most affordable hoover on the market today. Another advantage is that it doesn't require vacuum cleaner bags, so no more fuss & mess of changing vacuum cleaner bags, and extra money in your pocket.
Dust and dirt holds dust mite which can provoke asthma and allergy, eapecially in childhood. Regular use of a vacume cleaner or hoover will mop up those little dirt devils, and reduce the breeding cycle.
Features a Spot Cleaning mode to focus its cleaning on areas that need extra attention. One charge of the included NiMH battery gives Roomba up to 90 minutes of cleaning.
Retaining all the futuristic features of the Roomba Pro Elite, the new Roomba Discovery comes with its own charging/docking station that it returns to automatically when it needs charging! After 2 1/2 hours, Discovery is ready to go. You can also store the Roomba Discovery in the included wall mount.
Operation is incredibly easy. All you do is press a button to set the timer that tells Discovery what size room to clean. Once set, the Roomba Robotic FloorVac goes to work — steering away from stairs and guided by infrared sensors to navigate around obstacles and bounce off a beamed "virtual wall" that keeps it from crossing open areas as wide as 20 feet.
Roomba easily makes transitions from rug to floor and over thresholds; its non-marring bumper protects your furniture. There are no bags to replace; just remove and empty its permanent dustbin that is now four times larger than the previous model.
One charge of the built-in NiMH battery pack gives Roomba up to two hours of cleaning power. Your purchase includes two infrared "virtual walls," three filters and a wireless remote to control all functions and to steer Roomba to any spot from up to 20 feet away. The included remote runs on 2 AA batteries (SM660, order separately). Other exclusive features include "Max Clean" mode (cleans `til it drops) and "Spot Clean" to focus on a small area. Roomba also features a new Dirt Sensor mode for extra tough cleaning jobs. Extra infrared "virtual walls" (IR107) and an extra battery (IR112) are also available. Measures 13" diameter x 4" high; weighs 6 lbs. One-year warranty, with optional 3 year warranty.

The Koreans may be starting a world war, but we are concentrating on our little gossips and contretemps. We can't change the world but we can distract ourselves. So on the news today is some legislator complaining that 85% of the married population says they have committed adultery, are committing adultery or will be committing adultery. Shocking. But the real problem is not the statistics, but the analysis. All this mean is that Israelis refuse to admit loyalty - they talk big. This is true of patriotism as well. When a new immigrant is asked "Why? WHY did you come here when you could be living it up in your birth country?" it doesn't mean the questioner would live somewhere else if he could. It means it's much cooler to leave alternatives open, not to commit themselves to any one thing - any one country, any one person. It is also a pose of superiority - nothing is going to tie me down. Small wonder - we've been betrayed so often.
Friday afternoon in the port - we biked south on the promenade, had carrot juice at comme-il-faut and then came back through the city streets. Drought is perfect weather for biking. Too bad there is no chance for a bath. The water shortage makes it prohibitive.
How do you escape the summer weather this country is experiencing even after Thanksgiving? The joy and beauty that masks impending chaos? Ikea. It is always another world. A peek into dozens of Swedish living rooms, dozens of complacent homes with everything in place and every corner utilized to its fullest potential. Every item 'affordable,' backed by a smiling young architect or creator, and every path marked out comfortably but with great certainty for the visitor. Thanks to the fact that we were a critical group, our major was expense was in swedish meatballs - otherwise we would have bought the whole story wholesale. Once outside the walls of that wonderful institution, we encounter the truth - that our proportions do not match the proportions of the orderly Swedes, that our apartments were built by carpenters who used their eye rather than their tape measure, and that our lives do not match the logical existence of a safe, solid, swinging country.
It is good to be home.
November 29, 2010 (a little early)
Tomorrow, November 30, anti-Israel activists in New York City plan to demonstrate and call for boycotts of stores that sell Israeli products. This action in New York is just one of many. (Please read this article and the one below it to put this into context)
Please visit this website: www.BuyIsraelGoods.org --- The website includes a locator so that you can find stores in your area that carry Israeli products.
Boycotters have been energetically lobbying other stores across the country to drop Israeli products, from local co-ops to Costco and Trader Joe's.
StandWithUs and the America-Israel Chambers of Commerce calls on schools, college campuses, synagogues, community organizations, and individuals to designate Tuesday, November 30, as the day to actively Buy Israeli Goods. Go to your local stores and request Israeli products. Whenever a boycott is called, respond by purchasing the very Israeli goods that are being targeted and let store managers know they should keep them well-stocked on the shelves.
It is important to show these people running a campaign of delegitimizing Israel (Began when terror did not weaken the Israeli people)
Say no to boycotters who advocate destructive instead of constructive measures, who undermine hopes for peaceful co-existence, and whose only goal is to defame, cripple and damage Israel.
The very date, November 30th, is symbolic. It comes the day after the 53rd anniversary of the UN Partition Resolution when the effort, against all odds, to restore the Jewish State was endorsed and recognized by the international community. It also comes just as Hannukah is approaching when we celebrate the Maccabees who also restored Jewish independence, and who were a few who triumphed over the many. We can do the same, and shine a light on Israel for all people of good will.
On November 30th, please buy Israeli products.
Also if you can, please take pictures or videos of people purchasing Israeli products, and send them to us. Make fun entries for youtube, make them positive, fun, and/or funny. Email your photos or links to your videos to big@standwithus.com. -----------------------------------------
The following is from Rupert Murdoch, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of News Corporation. This essay is adapted from his remarks upon being presented with the Anti-Defamation League's International Leadership Award in New York on Oct. 13.
The War Against the Jews
We live in a world where there is an ongoing war against the Jews.
For the first decades after Israel's founding, this war was conventional in nature. The goal was straightforward: to use military force to overrun Israel. Well before the Berlin Wall came down, that approach had clearly failed.
Then came phase two: terrorism.
Terrorists targeted Israelis both home and abroad - from the massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich to the second intifada. The terrorists continue to target Jews across the world. But they have not succeeded in bringing down the Israeli government - and they have not weakened Israeli resolve.
Now the war has entered a new phase. This is the soft war that seeks to isolate Israel by delegitimizing it. The battleground is everywhere: the media multinational organizations NGOs. In this war, the aim is to make Israel a pariah.
The result is the curious situation we have today: Israel becomes increasingly ostracized, while Iran - a nation that has made no secret of wishing Israel's destruction - pursues nuclear weapons loudly, proudly, and without apparent fear of rebuke.
Every day, the citizens of the Jewish homeland defend themselves against armies of terrorists whose maps spell out the goal they have in mind: a Middle East without Israel. In Europe, Jewish populations increasingly find themselves targeted by people who share that goal. And in the United States, I fear that our foreign policy only emboldens these extremists.
When Americans think of anti-Semitism, we tend to think of the vulgar caricatures and attacks of the first part of the 20th century. Now it seems that the most virulent strains come from the Left. Often this new anti-Semitism dresses itself up as legitimate disagreement with Israel. Far from being dismissed out of hand, anti-Semitism today enjoys support at both the highest and lowest reaches of European society - from its most elite politicians to its largely Muslim ghettoes. European Jews find themselves caught in this pincer.
We saw a recent outbreak when a European Commission trade minister declared that peace in the Middle East is impossible because of the Jewish lobby in America.
This minister did not suggest the problem was any specific Israeli policy. The problem, as he defined it, is the nature of the Jews. Adding to the absurdity, this man then responded to his critics this way: Anti-Semitism, he asserted, "has no place in today's world and is fundamentally against our European values." Of course, he has kept his job.
Unfortunately, we see examples like this one all across Europe.
Sweden, for example, has long been a synonym for liberal tolerance. Yet in one of Sweden's largest cities, Jews report increasing examples of harassment. When an Israeli tennis team visited for a competition, it was greeted with riots.
So how did the mayor respond? By equating Zionism with anti-Semitism - and suggesting that Swedish Jews would be safer in his town if they distanced themselves from Israeli actions in Gaza.
You don't have to look far for other danger signs:
� The Norwegian government forbids a Norwegian-based, German shipbuilder from using its waters to test a submarine being built for the Israeli navy.
� Britain and Spain are boycotting an OECD tourism meeting in Jerusalem.
� In the Netherlands, police report a 50 percent increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents.
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised by these things. According to one infamous European poll a few years back, Europeans listed Israel ahead of Iran and North Korea as the greatest threat to world peace. In Europe today, many of the most egregious attacks on Jewish people, Jewish symbols, and Jewish houses of worship have come from the Muslim population. Unfortunately, far from making clear that such behavior will not be tolerated, too often the official response is what we've seen from the Swedish mayor - who suggested Jews and Israel were partly to blame themselves.
When Europe's political leaders do not stand up to the thugs, they lend credence to the idea that Israel is the source of all the world's problems - and they guarantee more ugliness. If that is not anti-Semitism, I don't know what is.
That brings me to my second point: the importance of good relations between Israel and the United States. Some believe that if America wants to gain credibility in the Muslim world and advance the cause of peace, Washington needs to put some distance between itself and Israel.
My view is the opposite. Far from making peace more possible, we are making hostilities more certain. Far from making things better for the Palestinian people, sour relations between the United States and Israel guarantees that ordinary Palestinians will continue to suffer. The peace we all want will come when Israel feels secure - not when Washington feels distant.
Right now we have war.
There are many people waging this war. Some blow up cafes. Some fire rockets into civilian areas. Some are pursuing nuclear arms. Some are fighting the soft war, through international boycotts and resolutions condemning Israel. All these people are watching the U.S.-Israeli relationship closely. In this regard, I was pleased to hear the State Department's spokesman clarify America's position. He said that the United States recognizes "the special nature of the Israeli state. It is a state for the Jewish people." This is an important message to send to the Middle East. When people see, for example, a Jewish prime minister treated badly by an American president, they see a more isolated Jewish state. That only encourages those who favor the gun over those who favor negotiation.
Back in 1937, a man named Vladimir Jabotinsky urged Britain to open up an escape route for Jews fleeing Europe. Only a Jewish homeland, he said, could protect European Jews from the coming calamity. In prophetic words, he described the problem this way: "It is not the anti-Semitism of men," he said. "It is, above all, the anti-Semitism of things, the inherent xenophobia of the body social or the body economic under which we suffer."
The world of 2010 is not the world of the 1930s. The threats Jews face today are different. But these threats are real. These threats are soaked in an ugly language familiar to anyone old enough to remember World War II. And these threats cannot be addressed until we see them for what they are: part of an ongoing war against the Jews.

Vol. 25, Issue 1 • I Am a Citizen of Clearwater. I Am a Scientologist.
WORLD-CLASS TRADITIONAL OIL PAINTER
"He is truly a great artist," says NBC News of American oil painter Jim Warren. Described to this day as one of the most creative and prolific artists of our time, his painting of fine arts and personalized portraits have been sought by world-famous celebrities and business leaders. His career as an artist started at the age of 2 years old, drawing on and off up through his teen years.
"When I was in school, I was inspired by the art around me," says Jim Warren, who started selling his art in high school in Long Beach, California. "Music, art, artists were making changes in the world, and I wanted to do the same."
Using traditional oil paint on stretched canvas, he started his career through the 1970s, earning first place at large outdoor art shows in California. And from there he took off.
When he found Scientology in 1978, Warren says, "I was starting to become successful, and I was having a hard time handling my success. Scientology helped me to handle that. … It takes away distractions, worries and problems by giving me the how-to to handle them, so I can mentally, physically and spiritually do my art. It keeps me in a good frame of mind so I can create more."
Entering the 1980s, Warren painted album cover art and hundreds of magazine illustrations. He did album covers for Alice Cooper and Bob Seger, who won a Grammy Award for best album package for the Against the Wind album.
Warren, who has lived in Clearwater for 25 years now, has also illustrated over 200 book covers for major authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, Clive Baker and Robin Cook.
Warren's 1990s painting, "Earth—Love It or Lose It," received critical acclaim and was featured in magazines, billboards and on shirts of the time—and still is today, making it an iconic symbol of the environmental movement.
Always and forever, Warren believes his greatest accomplishments to date are the many letters and communications he has received from around the world of fans sharing how his work inspired them, making their days a bit brighter. "The fact that my art can create an effect like that for some people and act as a positive influence in their lives means a great deal to me," Warren says.

Replication of product from SAP CRM to Cloud for Customer (C4C) is not working.
Integration between C4C and SAP CRM is setup correctly.
This issue will most probably occur in the case of migration of product categories. Make sure that ID mapping for product categories in C4C side is done properly.
There is a failed web service error item in web service monitor. The payload does not show any product category coming into C4C. Error text in Error Log is "Activation not permitted; cross-process category missing".
IDOC at SAP CRM side has proper data for product category and product hierarchy.
There is no change made with standard iFlow for this scenario.
One of the possible reason for this is the missing value mapping in HCI.
When you open the iFlow mapping for CRM to COD Material Replication (com.sap.scenarios.crm2cod.material.replicate) and check the mapping of product category, you will find that there is a formula below to derive the product hierarchy out of value mapping. Screenshot is provided below.
Mouse hover on valueMapping box in above figure will explain the value happing used in this formula. Screenshot is attached below.
The reason of the error is that value mapping is not maintained properly.
Screenshot of the iFlow is provided below.
Which value of SNDPRN should be mapped to HIERARCHYID? The value of SNDPRN is available in IDOC, you need to go to control record of IDOC and in the Partner tab you will find Sender information -> "Partner number". The value of this field is the value in SNDPRN. Screenshot attached below.
HIERARCHYID will be the ID of the product hierarchy to which the product category of the replicated product belong to.
Once this mapping is maintained, and value mapping iFlow deployed, the material replication from SAP CRM to C4C will no more give the above error.
I would like to add my experience related this error.
after looking in to all ID mapping we had look in to ECC system we found few material not maintained ( PRDHA :Product hierarchy ) value so C4C payload is not contain this field ProductCategoryID which cause to this error..
