Q: Communicating with plotter / vinyl cutter driver issues (Summa) I have a 'vintage' plotter SummaSign D610. It has a serial connector (TrippLite This one). I connect the serial cable to an FTDI adaptor. This converts it to USB, USB-C on my Mac (running Big Sur 11.6.4).
Everything was working fine and then suddenly it stopped communicating. The data was sent but did not reach the plotter and it refused to move.
I tried reinstalling the driver Drivers here and now the software (EasyCut Pro Software link) can't find the adaptor cable let alone send any data. Going into the system report shows the adaptor. On another Mac with the same software, I can see the adaptor but can't get the data to the plotter.
I tried using the installer to uninstall the driver and reinstall it. Turn the computer off and on. Use different ports. But nothing.
How do I troubleshoot and solve this? It was working one minute and gone the next.

Blessed Justin de Jacobis
Vicar Apostolic of Abyssinia and titular Bishop of Nilopolis, b. at San Fele, Province of Potenza, Italy, 9 October, 1800 d. 31 July, 1860, in the plain of Eydele between the mountains Chedene and Hamamo in Abyssinia, while on his way to Halay where he hoped to regain his health. On 17 October, 1818, he entered the Congregation of the Lazarists at Naples, took vows there on 18 October, 1820, and was ordained priest at Brindisi, 12 June, 1824. After spending some time in the care of souls at Oria and Monopoli, he became superior, first at Lecce, then at Naples. In 1839 he was appointed first Prefect Apostolic of Abyssinia and entrusted with the foundation of Catholic missions in that country. After laboring with great success in Abyssinia for eight years, he was made titular Bishop of Nilopolis in 1847, and shortly afterwards Vicar Apostolic of Abyssinia, but he refused the episcopal dignity until it was finally forced upon him in 1849. Despite imprisonment, exile, and every other kind of persecution from heathens and heretics, he founded numerous Catholic missions, built various schools for the training of a native clergy, and in many other ways labored for the conversion of Abyssinia. The process of his beatification was introduced on 13 July, 1904.

Global Expansion in Croatia
Croatia has seen a massive amount of social change in recent history, gaining independence from what was then Yugoslavia in 1995 after a four year conflict. Since this time the country has seen steady economic growth, in part due to a thriving tourism industry. Today it's believed that around 20% of Croatia's GDP comes from tourism. Main exports include transport equipment – specifically shipbuilding – machinery, chemicals, and food processing.
Over the years Croatia has seen success in trade in part because of its location. In the 14th century Dubrovnik was home to a maritime republic known as The Republic of Ragusa – this was able to thrive economically because of its close vicinity to Italy across the Adriatic Sea. Today, Croatia has steadfast links with the rest of the world. Its main international airport is in capital Zagreb, from which it's possible to take direct flights to 44 destinations in 29 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.
Those looking to expand their business into Croatia need to have a good understanding of local HR and payroll legislation. Navigating the world of employment law in Croatia can be a real pain point for many business owners, who may not feel confident when it comes to achieving compliance. That's where the experts at IRIS FMP come in. We have knowledge in a huge array of international employment law, and can provide the assistance you need during your expansion plan.
The following are due for submission by employers in Croatia:
Annual Corporate Income Tax return – no later than 4 months after the end of the tax period
Monthly Corporate Income Tax advances
Any objections to the minutes of the tax audit carried out by the Inspection Sector of the Croatian tax authority
What tax considerations are there?
Resident Croatians are subjected to tax on their worldwide income, whereas non-residents are subjected to tax on income derived from within Croatia only. Tax is charged at a progressive rate; those earning less than 360,000 HRK are taxed 24%, and anyone earning more than this is taxed 36%.
In addition to this, different Croatian cities and municipalities may charge an additional tax, known as surtax. The highest surtax in the country is 18%, and this applies to residents of the capital Zagreb. Employees and employers also make social security contributions to cover pension, health, and unemployment insurance.
Corporate Income Tax (CIT)
For the purpose of Corporate Income Tax, all Croatian resident businesses and foreign entities with a branch in Croatia are considered liable to pay.
Most companies in Croatia are subjected to 18% CIT, unless they fall into the lower revenue bracket of less than 3,000,000 HRK (around $450,000). These companies are subjected to 12% CIT. Taxable income is considered not only profits, but also income derived from the liquidation or sale of a business.
What are the regular working hours in Croatia?
The average working week in Croatia is 40 hours, with most people working 8 hour days between 8.30am and 4.30pm. Most employees also have half an hour for lunch. Banks and shops in Croatia tend to operate during different working hours, however, with banks open from 8am to 7pm on weekdays and 8am to 12noon on Saturdays. Shops are usually open from 8am to 8pm on weekdays, and 8am to 3pm on Saturdays. Most places of work are closed on Sundays.
Vacation, maternity and sickness
There are 14 bank holidays in Croatia on which employees are not expected to work. Many workplaces close down and offer their employees a week off between Christmas and New Year as well. In addition to the bank holidays, employees in Croatia are entitled to a total of four weeks (20 days) of holiday every year, as long as they have worked a minimum of six months for their employer. Any members of staff who have worked for less than six months are entitled to one twelfth of these days for every month they have worked, i.e. 1.66 days per month.
Maternity leave in Croatia is a minimum of 98 days of uninterrupted leave. Pregnant women must start their maternity leave 28 days before their child's due date and take the remaining 70 after the birth. If a doctor recommends an expecting mother starts their maternity leave earlier than this, it can begin up to 45 days before the due date. Additional leave begins on the 71st day after a child has been born, and can last for up to six months. This can be taken by either parent. Maternity pay is 100% of the salary, and is paid by the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance – not the employer.
Employees are entitled to sick leave for up to a maximum of three years, during which time they will be paid 70% of their salary. The employer is required to pay this for the first 42 days of sick leave, and after this day compensation will be reimbursed by the Institute for Health Insurance.
Should either party wish to terminate the employment contract, they need to provide sufficient notice. This will depend on the length of service they have given. Notice periods start at two weeks and go up to three months for those who have worked for twenty years or more. An employer does not need to give notice in the event of unlawful activity on the part of the employee.

China Tells The U.S. To Take A 'Cool-Headed' Approach When It Comes To North Korea Relations
Chris ZoisTwitterNews Writer
The U.S. has flexed its muscles concerning North Korea recently, with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson saying they wouldn't rule out any preemptive action if North Korea continues its nuclear missile programs. But China is telling the U.S. to pump the brakes according to CNN and that a "cool-headed" diplomatic approach may be best for the situation.
Tillerson met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday to discuss a number of issues, including North Korea's nuclear missile program. The country has been ramping up its missile tests since the start of the year and the U.S. is let down China has — as Donald Trump tweeted — done "little to help." with the situation. China has stood by their ally, though, notifying the U.S. they could threaten an arms race if things get too hostile.
Additionally, Wang counteracted the Trump administration's assertion, saying not all the pressure should be put on China. He noted that his nation has tried to ease relations between the two countries but stressed that at the end of the day, it is a dispute between the U.S. and North Korea. Wang offered that taking a step back and having a level headed approach may be best, adding, "We hope that all parties, including our friends from the United States, could size up the situation in a cool-headed and comprehensive fashion and arrive at a wise decision."
Tillerson did say the U.S. needs a "new approach" to deal with North Korea as past tactics seemed to not have worked and this may be it. But the U.S. has now taken a tougher stance when it comes to North Korea, which CNN reports may be a way for the U.S. to push China into getting more involved. Tillerson is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday, which may offer new insight into the U.S.' dealings with North Korea.

ITN news reader Tom Bradby has revealed how he was given a brief to deliver the news with more personality when he was promoted to News at Ten sole presenter last month.
According to some reports, ITN has already improved its ratings under Bradby. But the BBC still maintains a comfortable lead in that time slot as noted by this Twitter message from BBC rival anchor Huw Edwards.
Outlining his vision for the show, he said: "We tried to return to first principles and think through what a programme like News at Ten should be for the modern era. We concluded that there had been a significant shift over the past couple of decades, in which it has moved from being a primary to a secondary news source.
"Most of our viewers are already familiar with the news by 10pm these days. They've heard it on the radio, or read it online. They may even have seen the (excellent) news at 6.30pm. So why would you tune in to a later bulletin?
"Probably for the same reason you are reading this newspaper: because you are getting interesting stories from across the world that you would not find elsewhere. And because it is the place it all gets brought together, with enough analysis, intelligent thought and insight to be sure it all makes sense.
Bradby, who is also a novelist, said he has tried to draw on his skills as a writer to improve the News at Ten scripts.
He said: "I hope he won't mind my saying it, but I also spent time thinking about David Dimbleby. He is still unarguably the greatest broadcaster (Trevor McDonald is his only rival in my lifetime) and if he ever did the news, wouldn't he speak in his own voice, as he does in everything else?

Church Pioneers
The Anglican, Congregational
Methodist & Catholic Churches
Barbara Thomas-Holder
E-mail: barbholder@yahoo.com
When the community was laid out, provisions were made for the establishment of churches. Buxton has had a branch of all the leading Christian denominations in Guyana. There are the Anglican, Congregational, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Seventh-Day Adventist, Brethren and Pentecostal Churches.
Even the "Wayside" Churches were present. The Salvation Army; Prophet Wills and the Jordanites fulfilled the spiritual needs of those who were less orthodox. Who were the Jordanites? A body named after Nathaniel Jordan, a Buxtonian. He mobilized a mass following for the church much to the envy of the established religious bodies.
Nathaniel Jordan, who worked on a sugar plantation, was attracted to a small group of jubilant worshippers. He got converted in 1919, and went out spreading the Gospel to all who would hear. He named the movement The West Evangelical Millennium Pilgrims (WEMP), but it was popularly known as The Jordanites.
From Buxton, the movement spread to other areas of the East Coast, Georgetown, and East Bank, and the headquarters was established at Agricola, EBD. The Jordanites experienced much harassment from the authorities then, but they survived, in the name of the Lord, unto this day. They are vegetarians, and abstain from alcoholic beverages. Men wear long white robes and white turbans; the women do not press or straighten their hair. They rely on the Old testament for the justification of their beliefs and practices.
The Jordanites is an indigenous religious movement.
Extracted from: "Prophet Wills The Walking Dictionary" by Wayne Jones
ST. AUGUSTINE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH
St. Augustine's Anglican Church is situated at Friendship, ECD, though it is often referred to as Buxton Anglican Church.
In 1838, John Gardiner Austin, Esq., proprietor of Friendship and brother of Bishop Austin, gave for the erection of the church, school and vicarage this site of two acres at Friendship. A school was built and was used also as a 'centre of Sunday School and the holding of services by the Cathecist-schoolmaster' (Mr. Crawford). By 1841, a small church was erected and named after St. Augustine of Hippo.
It must be noted that St, Augustine's Church was the only church in the post-slavery society to bear the name of an African saint-Augustine of Hippo, born in Tagaste, Algeria in 354, and who became bishop of Hippo on the same continent after a foremost thinker and writer on church doctrine.
In 1882, this Church was known as St. Augustine's Chapel and was part of the parish of St. Paul's which began at Cummings Lodge and ended at Nooten Zuil. Along with the renovation of 1882, Rev. T.J. Moulder was instrumental in raising the funds needed to make secure the St. Augustine's churchyard. The familiar continuous iron fencing with its seven bars, so arranged as to exclude pigs and goats, was erected in 1884.
Another relic of the late 19th Century, and a magnificent gift, is the iron Alter rail. Two parishioners, Messrs. Moore and Louncke were the artificers. Their hearts were in their work so they produced a fine specimen of iron and brass work. Thanks for this gift were also due to Mr. Wolseley who gave the materials and permitted the work to be carried out in the foundry at Lusignan. The wrought iron pulpit was made by Messrs. Fox and King around this same time (1898-1899).
The Pulpit was designed by the Curate and constructed over a period of 18 months. Both the rails and pulpit are monuments of 'earnest, self-denying, cheerful labour', voluntary labour of honest servants of the Church.
Written by Sister Blanche E. Duke for the commemoration of St. Augustine's Anglican Church 165th Anniversary in 2006.
St. Augustine's, in the past, enjoyed the luxury of having its own resident priest. This luxury is no longer available to us since Rev. Father Elias is shared between St. Augustine's and St. Mary-ye-Virgin at BV. This situation has, in some way, diminished the total involvement of Father Elias in administering some aspects of the traditional church programmes. Nevertheless, spiritual inspiration is imparted resolutely at Sunday Mass and mid-week service on Wednesdays. Over 100 lapsed members were restored from the time of Fr. Elias' appointment in 1999.
The traditional Patronal Tea & Dance, proceeds from which the church depended on to meet its Diocesan obligation, came to an abrupt end in 2001. Notwithstanding, parishioners were taught and reminded the importance of direct giving to God.
In the interest of the development and welfare of parishioners, the Church, through the Vestry continues to assist necessitous families and children. Visits are also made to the sick and shut-ins. The spirit of caring is extended to senior citizens of the wider community.
June Allen,
Secretary to Vestry (2006)
ARUNDEL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
This church was first built at Plantation Nogg Eens, south westerly of where it now stands. During those days, there was tremendous fear that the plantation was being threatened by erosion, and it was felt that the Atlantic Ocean would soon claim the building and the land on which it stood. The large plot of land, on which the church now stands was donated by Mr. Carter, a former slave and grandfather of the late George Carter, who later became a staunch deacon of Arundel. The cornerstone of this edifice was laid on 24th November, 1844.
The church was dedicated to the late Rev. John Arundel, Home Secretary of the London Missionary Society. He was also an ardent abolitionist who supported the efforts of the early missionaries to bring relief to our forefathers.
The structure, being made out of wood, showed signs of deterioration, and it was the fervent desire of our foreparents that this structure be maintained and repaired. To this end, the first set of repairs and renovation were carried out under the guidance of Brother Bobby Carter, father of the late Alphonso Carter and grandfather of Dr. Leslie Carter, the Regional Government Medical Officer.
The church was rededicated by the late Rev. Patrick Matthews, and the ribbon on the new southern door was cut by his wife, the late Una Matthews.
According to church records, the cost of repairs amounted to the tidy sum of $57,000. In 1992, carpentry, plumbing and painting works were undertaken under strict supervision by the then Church Secretary. Brothers Compton Samuels and Neville Samuels undertook a massive job. Fortunately, on this occasion, the Church was blessed with an abundance of voluntary labour and gifts, so expenses were a little more than $250,000.
Some of the outstanding families who have been part of the Arundel Congregational Church for more than 165 years include the names:
Bathersfield Carter Duke
Edwards Gill Grenada
Herod Hutson Jarvis
John Marcus McEwan
Munroe Payne Phillips
Portsmouth Samuels Thomas
Wills Zephyr
The seed of Arundel was planted by our ancestors shortly after their freedom from slavery. Theirs was the vision to lay a foundation which would propel future generations to build and prosper.
Buxton Congregational School
The school was an integral part of Arundel Church, and all who attended this school had to develop a high standard of moral attitude and behavioural patterns. There was the tradition of Friday Morning services over in the church with choruses, hymns, and Bible stories.
Anyone who grew up in Buxton up to the late 1970's, if asked to name the schools in Buxton, would speak of Missionary School, situated at Buxton Front. The use of the word "missionary" speaks volumes of the pioneering role played by the Congregational Church in providing education to our people, not only in Buxton-Friendship, but throughout Guyana. This symbolic relationship was enhanced by the contributions made by both the pastors and head teachers.

Friendship Methodist Church
Methodism in Buxton/Friendship
This new faith reached the twin villages of Buxton-Friendship about the year 1843. It seems as though that Methodism by-passed these villages to serve other areas, especially Mahaica and Victoria, before coming here.
The introduction of Methodism in Friendship was due to the efforts of Reverend William Hudson of the Victoria Circuit. Mention must be made that one Rev. Charles Cleave, who was in charge of the Anglican Chapel in Enmore, left his "flock" and joined Rev. Hudson in spreading Methodism in Friendship. Even before there was no building, he started a "Society for Methodists." Services were held under a large tamarind tree which was cut down sometime in the late 1930s. It seems as though that this tree guarded the eastern entrance of the present compound.
Meetings by both of these Ministers were held at the "Great House", located on the recreation ground; so called, as the Great Manager occupied it when the village was a plantation. Later, a large Logie was purchased in the area where services were to be held. Around the same time, the transfer status from Victoria to Friendship took place and the Circuit became known as the Friendship Circuit, a status Friendship has enjoyed up to this day.
Services were held in this Logie until 1853, and the Minister then was Rev. James Banfield. A dispute arose among the Minister, proprietors and the people, and the people decided to show their anger with the Minister by removing the stairs from the high building during the night while he was asleep. Shortly after, the Minister left the district showing his displeasure by wiping the dust of the village from his feet. The dispute did not end there. The Methodists had to vacate the Logie and a long legal battle ensued. The congregation was determined that efforts, so well established, should not fail. They rented a large building at Buxton which had belonged to the "Brethren" denomination. Services at this building began on Christmas day, 1853 and the Rev. Wrench from Mahaica officiated. Immediately, church members started a fund to collect money with a view of erecting their own chapel. Encouraged by the people's response, church authorities petitioned the Governor and the Court of Policy for a grant of €2,000 ($9,600) to aid them with the project. Records do not indicate that the money was granted.
On Covenant Sunday 1855, the congregation realized that the Buxton chapel had become congested. It was only about twelve years earlier that a congregation was assembled in this village, consisting of only six or seven persons, through the exertions of the Rev. W. Hudson; since which time, his labours have been singularly successful. The congregation had increased to 300 communicants, besides a large number of regular hearers. In the day school there were 150 children, and about as many more in the Sabbath-school.
On 1st August, 1855 the foundation stone for a new building was laid. The oration was delivered by a Rev. John Corlette and the stone was laid by the Government Secretary, the Hon. William Walker. A large number of people attended this occasion. After the dedication by the Rev. John Corlette and remarks by the Government Secretary, a parchment containing a record of events was read by Rev. William Cleaver and placed by the Government Secretary in a glass bottle. Coins, then in circulation were also placed in the bottle which was tightly sealed. The Government Secretary then solemnly pronounced these words: "I have placed this memorial of our present service to indicate to future generations the foundation of this building, not to be revealed till all have assembled shall have turned to conniption." When the stone was adjusted in its place, he struck it three times with a mallet saying, "I pronounce this stone well and truly laid, in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." The foundation stone was laid in the presence of several thousand of inhabitants of the village and neighborhood.
1st August, 1856 was a historic and glorious day in the village of Friendship. Exactly one year after the corner stone was laid, the "Friendship Methodist Edifice" was opened for Religious Worship. A special train brought people near and far from other parts of the Colony. Total collections for that special day amounted to €109.9s ($525.35). "Wesleyan Methodism, here and elsewhere, in its beginning had to struggle with many difficulties. It was then ' small as a human hand: now it is spreading itself, or, rather, is being spread by God, in every direction. Like the mustard-seed in the Gospel, it has become a pretty 'great tree;' a tree sheltering many souls under its branches."
In 1955, the old church celebrated its centenary and received many glowing tributes from sons, daughters and friends near and far. In 1961, under the superintendence of Rev. C.F.H. Alleyne, the old building was demolished and sold as it had become structurally unsafe. Plans were made to erect a new building.
The building by then was in a state of serious disrepair. After more than 106 years, wooden buildings that are not given necessary attention can be ravaged by tropical climatic conditions, especially when they stand exposed to sun and rain with no nearby "shelter belt" of trees to offer some protection. I remember the huge amount of slate that came from the roof. That amount of slate on the roof imparted much of the architectural character. It defined the style and contributed to the building's aesthetics.
Between 1961 and 1966, all church services were held in the school building. With the help of a monetary contribution from the Methodist Missionary Society in England, a new building was opened in 1966. The minister then was the Rev. S. Willis. The contractor was Mr. Oscar Spencer, father of Rev. Glenna Spencer, current District President & General Superintendent of the Methodist Church in Guyana.
St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church
The Catholic Church in British Guiana owes its existence, expansion and growth to the Portuguese who first came to here in 1835 as indentured emigrants to satisfy the labor hunger of the Planters. Although previously there had been intermittent visits of Catholic priests to the Colony, it was not until December 9, 1825 that the building of the first Roman Catholic Church was begun and opened by the rev. J. Hayes, OP, in 1827. From Madeira, the Portuguese had brought not only their agricultural and commercial skills, but their devotion to their religion – the Catholic Faith. The roots of their faith went deep; their devotion was marked by the simplicity and exuberance of a "folk religion" which sometimes was misunderstood and their faith was branded by some as a "Madeiran type of Catholicism." March 1857 marked the beginning of an organized mission by The Society of Jesus in British Guiana with the arrival of James Etheridge, SJ, Aloysius Emiliani and Fr. Clemant Negri from Naples.
St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church is located in the twin villages of Buxton/Friendship. There was a Mass Station in this area as far back as 1862. With the increase in Catholics and in particular the Portuguese community in this area, there was need for a proper church, This church was opened on the 19th on November, 1871 and blessed by Bishop James Etheridge SJ, and dedicated to St. Anthony. It is one of the larger Catholic churches on the East Coast and still retains most of its internal architectural designs even though its tower was taken down in 1984. Above the front entrance houses a large bell.
Like other East Coast Catholic churches it was sited near the railway. St. Anthony' is physically located on Friendship Middle Walk in Friendship Village, however, Catholic custom refers to it as Buxton Church. The high altar was made in 1905 and houses a shrine of St. Anthony at the top with three small arches containing angels on either side of the Tabernacle. Two side altars made of nicely designed wood are dedicated to the Sacred Heart and Our Lady.
It is recorded that this parish community celebrated the golden jubilee of Pope Leo XIII in 1893 with lavish events, processions of its various Guilds and Societies ending in the evening with Illuminations, fireworks and other decorations. In addition, the celebrations for the Feast of St. Anthony were of a grand scale including the blessing and distribution of St. Anthony's Bread.
The first resident priest at St. Anthony's was Fr. John Purcell in 1892. Fr. Purcell a diocesan Priest was a Jamaican who offered to work in British Guiana in the time of Bishop Anthony Butler. Fr. Purcell also had the difficult task of traveling to Bartica once a month to minister to the needs of Catholics there. It was he who was responsible for building the small concrete church at Mahaicony. The longest serving priest at St. Anthony's, from 1936 to mid 1970's, was Fr. Emmanuel da Silva. He was the second Guyanese and third Diocesan priest.
This church still carries on the tradition of devotions to St. Anthony every Tuesday. Its feast day is celebrated on the 13th of June.

Il rovo comune (Rubus fruticosus L., 1753) è una pianta arbustiva caducifoglie della famiglia delle Rosacee originaria dell'Eurasia. I suoi frutti sono chiamati comunemente more.

Descrizione

È un arbusto spinoso che può raggiungere i 2–3 m di altezza, ma può esserlo altrettanto o anche di più in larghezza, a causa dei nuovi lunghissimi getti che annualmente si sviluppano dalle radici.
Le foglie sono decidue, composte da 3-5 foglioline a lamina ovata od obovata; hanno margini seghettati e spinosi con apice acuto.I fiori sono ermafroditi, biancastri o rosati, riuniti in infiorescenze a racemo. La fioritura avviene nel mese di giugno. È pianta mellifera da cui le api ricavano un particolare miele monoflorale.
I frutti sono composti da tante piccole drupe, di colore rosso nelle prime fasi di crescita, nero a maturazione. I frutti Iniziano la maturazione in agosto.

Distribuzione e habitat
Specie comune in Europa e in Asia, introdotta anche in Nord America; in Italia è pianta comune nei boschi umidi, al margine delle foreste, nelle radure e nelle siepi; predilige suoli ricchi di nutrienti, debolmente acidi. Cresce fino a  m s.l.m.

Usi
I frutti (more), raccolti a maturazione in tarda estate, si prestano ad essere usati per fare delle ottime marmellate che, dopo la cottura, vengono passate con il filtro per togliere i semi. È tuttavia importante sapere che la parte di zucchero non deve essere inferiore al 60%, onde evitare problematiche con il botulino (Clostridium botulinum); oppure le more vanno cotte in una padella ove si sia aggiunto il 30% di zucchero, un pizzico di vaniglia e mezzo bicchierino di rhum, cuocendo finché la marmellata non raggiunga una discreta densità. La marmellata risulta ottima sopra i dolci, panna cotta e gelato.

La pianta è utilizzata anche per delimitare proprietà e poderi, con funzioni principalmente difensive, sia per le numerose e robuste spine che ricoprono i rami, sia per il fitto e tenace intrico che essi formano, creando una barriera pressoché invalicabile.

Altre funzioni delle siepi di rovo sono nella fornitura di polline e nettare per la produzione del miele spesso monoflorale, essendo una pianta mellifera, molto bottinata dalle api.

We're proud to announce Citymapper Pass, a subscription to all mobility, with a beautiful smart travel card, integrated with our everyday multimodal mobility app. We're launching in London with a bundle including public transport, cycles and cabs.
Cities are complicated. Our mission has been to simplify them. We've solved (and are still improving) many hard problems in urban mobility: multimodal routing to help with directions, a data factory that fixes open data so users can get accurate information, and a myriad of product features that solve everyday use cases. But we've always been missing something: ticketing and payment integration so that we can help users with the complete experience.
Buying tickets for public transit fills everyone with anxiety. Every city has different schemes and complex options. Paper tickets, barcodes, topups and other cumbersome technologies are not consumer friendly. Ticketing machines are stressful. Queues for human vendors are inefficient. Pricing is complex. Even people that live in a city aren't sure how things work or how much they cost.
We believe ease of ticketing is essential for public transport to compete with private players, and this is important for the future of congested and complex cities.
Everyone has 2 things with them at all times: a mobile phone, and a wallet/purse. Transit systems need to accommodate them to be accessible and grow. The advent of contactless payments in the UK and TfL's adoption of contactless technology in London get the credit here for developing the seamless experience. But its only the first step.
Figuring out everything we can do on top of payment technology is what has gotten us excited, and provided an opportunity to design and build a card specifically for transport. Any bank card is sufficient for occasional use. But we're developing a more complete and tailored experience for regular commuters: all transport integrated in one place, personalised, with a comprehensive app they use every day.
What makes this exciting is that contactless technology is proliferating across users and cities around the world. Consumers are going cashless. Transit agencies everywhere are following the lead of London to implement similar systems. Contactless technology is a bit like open data, it's available to everyone. And we'd encourage incentives to the ecosystem so that anyone can participate in promoting public transport and keeping it competitive with private industry.
Another trend that is accelerating is the number of private players entering urban mobility, from scooters to cycles to mopeds to shared cars. We're adding new partners every week, and accommodating everything so that we can give users the best and most comprehensive choices. This is great for cities and users, introducing more ways to move around. But with that has also come more complexity and confusion.
We believe we can help both users and partners here. We've added functionality like routing to help users discover partners for specific journeys where they are best suited. And now we can make it easier to pay for them by adding them into subscriptions. Even better we can suggest the best partners and offers to users based on their geography and needs.
Users want to get from A to B. They care mostly about time and price, and don't necessarily always care how. The idea behind a subscription is that it bundles everything for the user and reduces hassle to make it easier for people to navigate without worrying about details on every trip.
This vision has been talked about for decades. The real challenge has been to develop something that works and scales, with a UX that users love, a model that keeps all participants in the system happy. We've been thinking about this for a long time, and hopefully believe we have a solution, complemented by a lot of technology we've already developed in our app, and an active user base.
Rather than starting in a simple small town, we thought why not launch in one of the biggest, most complicated public transport cities in the world? London!
Our Pass on day 1 will be cover public transport, cycles (Santander's docked scheme) and cabs (our Citymapper Ride service). Over time we will add other modes and partners such as additional cycle and cab services, car sharing, scooters and well.. whatever else gets invented next.
Pass will integrate with smartphone wallets, so users can decide to use them as virtual cards as well.
Integrating a journey planner and every day transport app with Pass gives us an opportunity to develop some great experiences for users.
We are developing a new section of the app for Pass users, a transport dashboard, and a full joyful end-to-end experience for mobility.
This is just the start. There is a lot of functionality and capability we can build going forward.
The vision is to personalise offers to specific users based on their needs, preferences and commutes.
And we believe Pass should work globally, so that users do not ever have to worry about how to use a foreign public transport system, they can just check a route and go. Tap Tap Done. As we expand the offering to other cities, we will design towards a future where the subscription works everywhere it can. Imagine that.
Citymapper Pass launches March/April 2019. Unlike Brexit, we're not waiting for May.
Early signups are in a secret place..
Thanks to Omid Ashtari, Gabriela Stripoli, and Alex Thomas.

U.S. Open Sunday rundown: Harman shooting for history, Thomas' record and Johnny goes full Johnny
By Joel Beall
Andrew Redington
Welcome to the Dew Sweeper's U.S. Open rundown, your one-stop shop to catch up on the weekend action from the golf world. From the professional tours, trending news, social media headlines and upcoming events, here's every golf-related thing you need to know for the morning of June 18.
Harman shooting for history
The week began with many wondering if Lefty would show up. It's another that has a shot at history.
While others stole the show on Saturday, Brian Harman quietly fired a five-under 67 -- if such thing is possible for one in the final group -- to take a one-shot advantage into the final round at Erin Hills. Which fits Harman's persona just fine: the diminutive player has made a career of proving people wrong.
"I'm not going to delve into the things that I derive my motivations from, but I'm certainly motivated," Harman said after his round.
Harman, who won the Wells Fargo Championship earlier this year, is 18 holes away from becoming the first left-hander to win the U.S. Open. I'm sure the irony is not lost on a certain six-time Open runner-up watching from home.
Thomas breaks record
Justin Thomas began the day miles behind the leaders. He finished his round in the record books. The 23-year-old turned in a nine-under 63 at Erin Hills, breaking Johnny Miller's mark for lowest round in relation to par.
Amazingly, Thomas did this with two bogeys on the card, along with a missed six-foot eagle putt on the 15th. But his round will be remembered for this filthy 3-wood on the 663-yard par-5 18th, one that cemented Thomas in major championship lore:
Thomas sits just one back of Harman, and though he's had a mixed record at majors in his young career, Vegas has him as co-favorite. Which makes sense; all the man's done this year is win three times, shoot a 59, break the tour 36-hole scoring mark and run back the Baker's Bay spring break trip. It doesn't suck to be Justin Thomas.
Johnny being Johnny
Throughout Thomas' endeavor, many wondered, "What does Johnny Miller have to say on the matter?" Thanks to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner, we soon found out. And it was what you'd expect from the game's chief curmudgeon.
Admittedly, I'm torn. For one, he's right; judging by the other scores throughout the week, Erin Hills is not your normal U.S. Open venue. On the other end of the spectrum, how about a little humility and graciousness? As a veteran scribe told me Saturday night, "Jack would be big-hearted in that situation; Johnny can't give up the spotlight."
Of course, Johnny wouldn't be Johnny if he didn't say such Johnny things, so perhaps we got exactly what we wanted.
Fowler right where he needs to be
Got to feel for Rickie Fowler. Teeing off one shot off the lead, the 28-year-old went out and posted a four-under round at the U.S. Open...and fell further back. It's tough out here in the Wisconsin streets.
Yet Fowler remains in perfect position to capture his first major championship, and with the rest of the leader board lacking major experience, Fowler's past close calls could be the difference.
"I'm looking forward to my shot at it, and I know it's going to be -- it's not going to be an easy day, for sure," Fowler said. "But I'm looking forward to getting the job done."
We hope so. That guy clearly deserves a break.
Reed charges into title conversation
Teeing off three-and-a-half hours before the leaders on Saturday, Patrick Reed made early work of Erin Hills, traversing the rugged property in just 65 strokes to insert himself in the championship conversation.
Reed's had one of the toughest years of his career, one he's chalked up to early-season equipment issues. But he's galvanized the crowds with his Ryder Cup pants, serenaded with "USA!" chants throughout his rounds.
He does have an iffy track record at majors, failing to finish inside the top 10. An issue Reed seems very aware of.
"Coming into this year I was just like it's another golf tournament. Show up. Do what you do on a normal event and just play golf," Reed said. "Because at the end of the day, if I go out and play the best I can and am happy with how I play, the results will take care of itself."
What a result it could be.

I travel a lot and am really used to chain hotels, and once in a while will end up at a small town hotel like this, and although often charming, they generally don't quite measure up to the chains in some ways. I was really pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It's GREAT! It has a great lodge feel, but wasn't lacking on anything. And the room was abnormally spacious! I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. The room was immaculate, and the staff was great. Well done!
One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, and probably the most reasonably priced! Super staff and the best landscaping around!
I was specifically looking for a nice room with a jacuzzi tub and not overpriced. After looking at several chain hotels in the area, I was pleasantly surprised to find several rooms here with just that and were a great price. The suite was beautifully decorated and as far as the pics of the other suites, they look nice too. Street and neighbor noise was low. Will definitely be a go to hotel for us and family.
We need a handicapped accessible room. We have now stayed at the Redwood Motel 5 or 6 times, each a year apart. Their higher priced rooms with entry off of 7th street are truly lovely. Large with lots of space and a nice desk. There is a roll-in shower and very nice, heavy towels. It is also quieter than the rooms that open onto 6th street. It is an old motel from the early 50's, but nicely refurbished. Nice continental breakfast with both hot and cold options. Small outdoor pool and ample parking.

Q: R - Comparing datas of two data.frames with a loop, constant by constant Basically, I want to compare the same constants (same [X,Y] values) from two data frames and applied them a few operations afterward, before stocking the result in a new data frame. The tricky part is that I need to treat all the values of these data frames.
In other words, I need to compare the value of dataA[1,1] with dataB[1,1] and if they respect certain conditions, I'll perform an operation, else another opeartion, then stock the result in a new data.frame.
After, rinse and repeat for dataA[1,2] and dataB[1,2] up to dataA[100,100] and dataB[100,100].
Obviously, I've to use a loop here (and some if/else), but I can't seems to figure out the proper structure.
Being used to php, I tried the foreach package in R, but it only return FALSE (and it do so in vector format instead of a matrix with multiple columns). If I do the operation by hand, there are more TRUE than FALSE, so obviously, something's wrong here :
 x <- foreach(dataIDH, dataPIB) %do% {
      if (dataPIB <= dataIDH+5 & dataPIB >= rankIDH-5) {
        x <- mean(dataPIB, dataIDH)
      } else { x <- FALSE}
    }
  x

I did tried a for loop, but I'm simply unable to put the results in a data.frame (even less a ones that match the layout of the dataframes used here, which I need to do) :
  x <-  for(idh in 1:nrow(dataIDH)) {
    for(idh in 1:ncol(dataIDH)) {

      for(pib in 1:nrow(dataPIB)) {
        for(pib in 1:ncol(dataPIB)) {

          if (pib<=idh+5 & pib>=idh-5) {
            x <- mean(pib,idh)

          } else { x <- FALSE}

        }
      }

    }
  }
x

For informations : the data frames contain numeric values for a set of countries (rows) for a few years (columns).
Any ideas on how to get out of this mess?
Edit 1 : an extract of the two dataframes used (1st row and col displayed here are actually headers) :
dataIDH
CountryCode,2005,2006,2007,2008
AFG,14,14,16,16
ALB,100,98,99,98
DZA,85,86,90,86

dataPIB
CountryCode,2005,2006,2007,2008
AFG, 69, 18, 70, 71
ALB, 102, 98, 97, 63
DZA, 85, 89, 91, 137

Edit 2 : and the final result should be a new data.frame, on the same layout:
x
CountryCode,2005,2006,2007,2008
AFG, FALSE, 16, FALSE, FALSE
ALB, 101, 98, 98, FALSE
DZA, 85, 87.5, 90.5, FALSE

A: With the basic looping way. Hope this helps you.
df <- dataIDH
for(i in 1:length(dataIDH$CountryCode)){
  for(j in 2:ncol(dataIDH)){
    if((dataIDH[i,j] <= dataPIB[i,j]+5) & (dataPIB[i,j] <= dataIDH[i,j]+5)){
      df[i,j] <-  mean(dataPIB[i,j], dataIDH[i,j])
    } else{ df[i,j] <- "False" }
  }
}

A: here is your answer:
df1 <- data.frame(a= rnorm(1000),
                  b=rnorm(1000),
                  c= rnorm(1000))
df2 <- data.frame(aa= rnorm(1000, 3, 3),
                  bb=rnorm(1000, -2, 3),
                  cc= rnorm(1000, 5, 3))

df3 <- data.frame(df1, df2)

test <- function(df, column_number1, column_number2){
  mean_vec <- apply(df[, c(column_number1, column_number2)], 1, function(x) mean(x, na.rm = TRUE))
dif_vec <- abs(df[,column_number1]-df[,column_number2])
ind_true <- dif_vec<=5
ind_false <- dif_vec>5
column_name <- paste(colnames(df)[column_number1],
                     colnames(df)[column_number2], sep = "_" )
df[ind_true, (column_name)] <- mean_vec[ind_true]
df[ind_false, (column_name)] <- "FALSE"
return(df)
}

df3 <- test(df3, 1,4)
df3 <- test(df3, 2, 5)
df3 <- test(df3, 3, 6)

A: Assuming you don't actually want to convert your data to strings (which would be necessary to include "FALSE" in a numeric vector), R is really good at working with vectors and matrices...
dataIDH <- read.csv(header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE, text = "
CountryCode,2005,2006,2007,2008
AFG,14,14,16,16
ALB,100,98,99,98
DZA,85,86,90,86
")

dataPIB <- read.csv(header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE, text = "
CountryCode,2005,2006,2007,2008
AFG, 69, 18, 70, 71
ALB, 102, 98, 97, 63
DZA, 85, 89, 91, 137
")

x <- abs(dataIDH[-1] - dataPIB[-1]) <= 5
y <- (dataIDH[-1] + dataPIB[-1]) / 2
y[!x] <- NA
cbind(dataIDH[1], y)

# CountryCode X2005 X2006 X2007 X2008
# 1         AFG    NA  16.0    NA    NA
# 2         ALB   101  98.0  98.0    NA
# 3         DZA    85  87.5  90.5    NA

Charter school governance and politics
Katrina E. Bulkley, Jeffrey R. Henig
This chapter reviews the empirical literature on charter school governance and politics, with special attention on evidence of change in the sector, new areas getting research attention, and the emerging maturation of theory and conceptualization with which the research is framed. The review brings to the surface two overarching and linked themes. First, in a number of areas, the governance and politics of charter schools-as well as the governance and politics in traditional school districts-has evolved in ways that make the two sectors less distinct than envisioned when charters first arrived on the scene. Second, research as a result is progressing from studies of charter politics and governance per se to studies of charters in the context of discussion of broader changes in education governance and politics.

Body by Petra. 24/7 GYM Offers Keys To Optimum Health
March 1, 2020 May 5, 2020 goodpress
When you choose Body by Petra 24/7 Gym in Boca Raton, you not
only get a turnkey fitness experience suited to your personal
needs, you get access to Petra Mertl's encyclopedic knowledge of
optimum health for your body. Whether you want to lose weight
and get in shape, pursue body building, train as a top athlete, or heal your body from an injury or disease, Petra can design a plan for you.
At 2,000 square-feet, with 32 machines and the advantage of 24/7 access with personal keyfobs, the gym feels like an extension of home. There are rarely more than 3 or 4 people working out at the same time, and more often 1 or 2. In addition, you can bring your dog, which raises the comfort level for clients who are dedicated to their pets.
"A lot of people feel intimidated by big gyms," says Petra. "You've got people who like to show o or bring their drama to the gym." Body by Petra is for those who prefer privacy as they work on their individual goals.
The real difference at Body by Petra is Petra's passion for helping people live healthier lives. Teaching fitness and aerobics by the age of 16 in the Czech Republic, Italy, and France, Petra went on to earn a Master's Degree in Exercise Science and Nutrition. She is certified by the National Federation of Personal Trainers, International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB), as a Tony Robbins RMT Life Coach, and has specialties in Holistic Nutrition and Regenerative Detoxification. Her personal bodybuilding achievements are too numerous to list but but she has been a two-time Czech Republic champion. Currently she judges IFBB competitions in Florida and is the organization's social media director.
Petra's successful competitive career came to a halt in 2015, however, with her own health crisis. "I couldn't even open the door to my car or my home. I had to wear braces on my elbows. I couldn't bend over without pain and was getting cortisone shots."
Diagnosed with a chronic illness that caused inflammation in her joints, Petra dedicated herself to studying nutrition and healing.
Having followed a traditional bodybuilding diet of lots of meat and no sugar, Petra discovered a plant-based diet of living foods and herbs restored her to health. Within 3 months of making a transition, she was pain free. She now eats mostly raw fruit. Her Body by Petra Plant Based Nutrition Program is based on the science of creation, biochemistry of digestion and absorption, and the utilization and elimination of waste in the human body.
If Petra's plant-based approach sounds drastic, consider that competitive athletes from Olympians like Dotsie Bausch, who
medaled in cycling (the oldest female to ever do so) to NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady thrive on meatless plant-fueled
diets. Plant-fueled diets not only enhance performance but speed healing. Even the strongest man in the world, Patrick Baboumian, is a vegan. When asked how he can be as strong as an ox when he
doesn't eat meat, Baboumian answered "What do you think an ox eats? Plants."
To those who worry about getting enough protein, protein is chemically broken down into amino acids and glucose through
digestion. A big green salad will give our body immediately available protein-building amino acids. Plant-fueled diets not only enhance performance but speed healing.
"The best thing I ever did was to stop eating animal protein," says Petra. "I wish I had done it a long time ago, and I could have been a better athlete. I have more energy than I ever had. I am stronger, faster, and more compassionate."
Body by Petra specializes in personal training, body transformation, contest prep, weight loss, nutritional counseling, plant-based nutrition, and regenerative detoxification. There are a variety of membership levels, but no contracts, and every new member receives three personal training sessions. Call for a free evaluation
and reach your fitness goals, finally.

We are very excited to offer this new and enhanced service from Silver Meridian. Our RAI-MDS Review and Consultation is a thorough and comprehensive process, extending beyond basic audits of MDS documentation. We also include an in-depth assessment of how the MDS system is organized and managed within the Home. The impact of this integrated approach results in an efficient and effective MDS process, plus accurate and fair RUG results.
The RAI-MDS Review and Consultation process identifies gaps in MDS Assessment accuracy and provides practical tools and strategies for developing a more effective and efficient RAI process.
Audit of MDS assessments and documentation – examining coding accuracy relative to alignment with MDS coding definitions and standards, as well as consistency with related documentation and resident care levels.
Assessment of MDS responsibilities, systems and practices – a review of the RAI Coordinator role and responsibilities, RAI users knowledge, expectations and accountabilities, communication practices, supporting Home processes and integration of RAI-MDS across the Home.
While the review and audit process is intensive, an investment in the RAI-MDS Review and Consultation inevitably pays dividends in that it ensures the Home is compensated commensurate to the actual level of resident care, which ultimately impacts resources and staffing levels.

Meeting Bhim army chief has nothing to do with politics: Priyanka Gandhi
Published : Mar 13, 2019, 8:27 pm IST
Updated : Mar 13, 2019, 8:27 pm IST
"I am here because I like his energy and the way he raises his voice for the youths," said Priyanka.
"It is to be seen from the perspective that he is a youth and is struggling. He is raising his voice and saying to society to hear his pain, said Priyanka Gandhi. (Image: ANI)
Meerut: Congress general secretary and in-charge for the party's east UP affairs Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said that her decision to meet Bhim army chief Chandrashekhar Azad had nothing to do with politics.
"It is to be seen from the perspective that he is a youth and is struggling. He is raising his voice and saying to society to hear his pain. But this government is so arrogant that it wants to suppress the youth. The government doesn't want to hear the voice of the youth," said Gandhi.
"I am here because I like his energy and the way he raises his voice for the youths," said Priyanka, who met Chandrashekhar here at a hospital where he is undergoing treatment.
On Monday, Azad was taken into the police custody along with his supporters for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), which is in force in view of the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
After some time of his arrest, Azad complained of high blood pressure and fell unconscious. He was admitted to a hospital here, where he is undergoing treatment.
Police said the case was registered against Azad and 28 others on Wednesday for violating the Model Code of Conduct.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dinesh Kumar said: "Azad organised a rally and violated the Model Code of Conduct on Monday. The local officials tried to stop them, but he continued with his rally. He was held for four hours in a private school."
Police said the rally had been organised without required permission at Kasimpura village by Azad. When the police tried to stop the rally, they resisted and later blocked Muzaffarnagar-Saharanpur highway.
On Tuesday, Azad started a 'Padayatra' from Saharanpur to Delhi and announced to address a rally in New Delhi on March 15. He has also announced to fight the Lok Sabha election against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The high-level clarity, target separation and refined detail of Active Imaging helps anglers find more fish by making it easier to quickly identify fish-holding structure like rockpiles, standing timber, weedbeds, ditches and drop-offs – all at a greater distance from the boat.
Get the best of CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging™ on one screen with the exclusive FishReveal™ Smart Target view that makes it easy to recognize fish from structure and cover on high-detailed DownScan images. FishReveal removes the need to display CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging™ on a two-panel split-screen display.
See fish, structure and chart detail better than ever on the high-resolution, super-bright SolarMAX™ HD displays. Whether searching for fish around structure or navigating to a favorite fishing spot, SolarMAX HD delivers bright and clear images with easy viewing from any angle, in direct sunlight, and even thru polarized sunglasses. Our ultra-responsive multi-touch screen works even when the display is wet.
Enjoy safer and easier navigation with the C-MAP® Easy Routing + Navionics® Autorouting capability of HDS LIVE displays.
