Chapter 1: The Advent of Lord Krishna: Introduction
(1) The honorable king said: 'Your Lordship extensively described both the dynasties of the kings of the sun god and the moon god as also the most wonderful deeds of their members [*]. (2) Please describe to us the heroic acts of Lord Vishnu who [together with His plenary expansion Sankarshana in the form of Baladeva] appeared as an incarnation in [two] different parts in the line of the most dharmic and virtuous Yadus whom you also described to us oh best of the munis. (3) Be so kind to tell us all about the actions of the Supreme Lord, the Soul of the Universe, the Cause of the Manifestation, after He descended in the Yadu dynasty. (4) [By the disciplic succession or the paramparâ] listening to the pleasing vibrations of the glorification of the Lord Praised in the Verses, constitutes the proper medicine for the mind to be released from the material disease of its desires. Unless he is a killer of animals, a person by listening to and voicing such descriptions can become free [from the falsehood. See also B.G. 2: 44]. (5-7) My grandfathers [the Pândavas] in the past, when they on the battlefield were fighting with imperishable warriors like Devavrata [Bhîshma] and other great commanders who were like timingilas [shark-eaters], crossed in the boat that He is as easily the so very difficult to overcome ocean of Kaurava soldiers as one steps over a calf's hoof print. This body of mine, the only seed left of the Kurus and Pândavas, was scorched by As'vatthâmâ's weapon when I resided in the womb of my mother, but was by Him holding the cakra in His hand protected because she sought His protection [1.8: 11 and 1.12: 7]. Oh man of learning, please describe the glories of the Lord who by His own potency appeared as a normal human being, of the Giver of Death and Eternal Life so one says, He who is manifesting in physical forms bound to Time, of Him the Original Person who is present both inside and outside of all the embodied beings. (8) We know from you about Balarâma, who is Sankarshana, that He is the son of Rohinî. How could He without assuming another body be connected with the womb of Devakî? (9) Why did Mukunda, the Supreme Lord move from the house of His father to [the house of Nanda in] Vraja and where did He, the Master of the devotees, live with His relatives? (10) What did He do when He lived in Vraja and when He resided in the city of Mathurâ? Why did He, the killer of Kes'î, kill His uncle Kamsa, His mother's brother? Was that not something contrary to the scriptures? (11) For how many years did He who assumed a human body, live with the Vrishnis and how long did He live in the city of the Yadus [Dvârakâ]? How many wives did the Master have? (12) Oh sage, you know everything. You are the one to tell us about Lord Krishna's activities. Please describe this all in detail to me so full of faith and surrender, and everything there is more to say. (13) Now that I drink the nectar of the talks about the Lord that emanate from your lotus mouth, it is not even difficult to bear the hunger [of my fasting] or my forsaking of water.'
(14) Sûta [see 1.1] said: "Oh son of Bhrigu [S'aunaka], after the mighty son of Vyâsa, the purest of all devotees, had heard his pious questions, the devotee of Vishnu paid his respects and began to describe the topics of Krishna that put an end to the darkness of Kali Yuga [compare 1.7: 2-8]. (15) S'rî S'uka said: 'Oh best of the wise kings, because of your lasting attraction for the stories about Vâsudeva [Krishna as the son of Vasudeva], your intelligence has developed a firm determination. (16) The way the world is purified by the [Ganges] water that flows from His toes [5.17: 1], the three persons of the speaker, the inquirer and the one attending are purified by questions concerning the stories about Vâsudeva. (17) When mother earth was overcome by an unbearable burden of countless numbers of conceited Daitya military forces [9.24: 67] and their so-called nobles, she [one day] went to Lord Brahmâ to take shelter. (18) Assuming the form of a cow she greatly distressed weeping piteously appeared before the Almighty One [see also 1.16: 18] and submitted her complaints. (19) Lord Brahmâ with understanding for her predicament thereupon together with her, the godly ones and the Three-Eyed One [Lord S'iva] approached the shore of the milk ocean [wherein Vishnu resides, see also 8.7: 41]. (20) Reaching there they fully attentive with the help of the [Purusha-sûkta] hymns worshiped the Original Person, the Supreme Personality, the God of Gods and Master of the Universe who takes care of all.
(21) The lord of the Veda [Brahmâ] heard in his trance a vibration of words in the sky [see also 1.1: 1]. He said to the servants of the three worlds, the demigods: 'Hear further from me about the order of the Original Person oh immortal souls. Execute these instructions immediately, do not delay. (22) Before we came here the Personality of Godhead knew already about the distress of mother earth. He will expand Himself in the family of the Yadus by means of your good selves taking birth as His parts. Thus you should live on earth for as long as He, the Lord of Lords, needs to diminish the burden of the planet through His own potency of Time. (23) The Supreme Lord, the original transcendental person, will personally appear in the house of Vasudeva and also wants all the wives of the demigods to take birth to please Him. (24) Before Lord Vâsudeva appears first the part of Hari known as the fully independent Ananta with the thousands of hoods [Sankarshana, see also 5.25] will appear [as Baladeva] with the desire to please [Him]. (25) By the Master being ordered to appear and to manage His affairs [the grace of Vishnu known as the female incarnation of His potency called] Vishnu-mâyâ will also appear together with all her different potencies, she who is as good as the Supreme Lord Himself and who captivates all the worlds [see also B.G. 9: 12 & 13].'
(26) S'rî S'uka said: 'After thus having pacified mother earth with sweet words and having informed the immortals, the supreme master of the founding fathers returned to his supreme abode. (27) In the past S'ûrasena the king of the Yadus [see 9.23: 27] lived in the city of Mathurâ from where he ruled the different districts Mâthura and S'ûrasena. (28) Mathurâ, the city intimately connected to the Supreme Lord Hari, from that time on was the capital for all the kings of Yadu [see also the bhajan Sâvarana S'rî Gaura Mahimâ]. (29) It was in that place that one day the divine character of Vasudeva, after having married Devakî, together with his bride mounted a chariot to return home. (30) Kamsa, the son of Ugrasena held, in order to please his sister for the occasion, the reins of the horses in the midst of thousands of golden chariots. (31-32) When she left home king Devaka, who was fond of his daughter, had given a dowry of four hundred elephants with golden garlands, ten thousand horses together with eighteen hundred chariots and a hundred young and attractive maidservants complete with jewelry. (33) My dearest King, when they departed conch shells, bugles, drums and kettledrums vibrated in concert to wish the bride and bridegroom all the best. (34) Being on their way, a voice from beyond addressed Kamsa who held the reins: 'The eighth child of this girl you are carrying with you oh fool, will put an end to your life!'
(35) Thus being addressed he, who mischievous and sinful in the past had degraded the Bhoja family, took up a sword against his sister and grabbed her by her hair with the intention to kill her. (36) In order to pacify him who was ready to commit such a heinous and shameless crime, Vasudeva, that greatly fortunate soul addressed him. (37) S'rî Vasudeva said: 'A man of so many praiseworthy qualities, such a brilliant star among the heroic Bhojas like you, how can you kill your own sister, a woman, especially at the time of her marriage [see also 1.7: 53-54]? (38) Death is included with the body that was born. Whether one dies today or in a hundred years, ultimately every living being is sure to die [see also B.G. 2: 27-28]. (39) When the body has to return to the five elements the indweller automatically according to his own karma receives a new body upon abandoning the old one. (40) The way a person as he walks changes from one foot to the other and the way a caterpillar on a plant [moves from one leaf to another], a living being likewise has to experience the consequences of his karma [see also B.G. 2: 22 and 2: 13]. (41) Just as one in a dream, being endowed with the qualities of a material body, is subjected to that what the mind is thinking and one's consciousness is fully absorbed by that what one hears and sees, one is the same way forgetful in one's present body [about the body and karma acquired in a previous life, see also 4.29: 60-79 and 5.26]. (42) The mind, impelled by fate and deliberation moves from one position to the next so that the embodied soul, after the demise of its physical frame, obtains a birth and arrives at a [new] body in accordance with the material quality [and the evolution] he was experiencing [B.G. 13: 22, 14: 14-15 and 6: 34-35]. (43) The way the reflection of the luminaries, as one may observe them in water or other liquids that are moved by the wind, offers distortions in different shapes, the person, the living entity, likewise in the situation that was created by his own imaginative power in association with the gunas [the world with its changing qualities], gets bewildered depending his attachments [to different bodies or distortions of his form. See also 5.5: 4 and B.G. 9: 12-13, 12: 5]. (44) Therefore everyone to the interest of his own welfare [and good rebirth] should not harm anybody, for the evil-doer has to live in fear for others himself [the 'golden rule']. (45) This innocent woman, your younger sister, completely depends on you like she was your own daughter - do not kill her. She means good to you and she deserves your care and compassion!'
(46) S'rî S'uka said: 'He without pity, could by these attempts of good advise not be stopped or pacified oh son of Kuru, for he followed the course of the man-eaters [the Râkshasas]. (47) Seeing his determination Vasudeva thought deeply about how he, with this immediate threat of death, could hold him back and thus he came up with the following alternative. (48) [He thought:] 'An intelligent person should, as long as he is in control of his mental and physical faculties, ward off death, but when someone is faced with the inevitability of death, this rule does not apply. (49-50) If I promise to deliver my sons to this man of doom, I might set my innocent Devakî free. Perhaps I don't get any sons or maybe he will die beforehand. That might happen or the contrary. Who knows what fate has in store for us? That is difficult to say. Even though the threat remains hereafter, I, at least for the moment, may avert her death. (51) When a piece of wood for some reason escapes from a fire, that is decided by providence and nothing else. Even so one cannot determine why a living being assumes or abandons a [particular] body.' (52) After contemplating this way to the best of his ability, the God-fearing man paid the sinner his obeisances and submitted the proposal to him with the greatest attention. (53) With a big lotus-like smile on his face but with anxiety and sorrow in his heart he then spoke to the cruel hearted, shameless man. (54) S'rî Vasudeva said: 'You have, according to what the voice from heaven vibrated, nothing to fear from Devakî indeed. Her sons gave rise to your anxiety and I'll deliver them therefore all to you.'
(55) S'rî S'uka said: 'Kamsa understanding the essence of what he said was for the time being stopped from killing his sister. With him more at ease, Vasudeva then was happy to come home [unharmed]. (56) Thereafter in due course of time Devakî, the mother of all divinity [see 4.31: 14 and B.G. 10: 2], year after year gave birth to indeed [as said in 9.24: 53-55] eight sons and a daughter. (57) Most afraid to break his promise Ânakadundubhi [or Vasudeva, see 9.24: 28-31] with great pain handed his first born baby, Kîrtimân, over to Kamsa. (58) What would be too painful for a saint, on what would a sage depend, what would be forbidden to a bad person and what would for someone holding on to the soul be too hard to forsake? (59) Oh King, when Kamsa saw that Vasudeva was equanimous, truthful and certain of himself, he satisfied about that with a grin on his face said: (60) 'You can take this child back, my fear does not concern him, my death was predicted from the eighth pregnancy you have with your wife.'
(61) 'Very well' Ânakadundubhi said, took his son back and left without attaching too much value to the words of that untruthful character lacking in self-control. (62-63) Oh scion of Bharata, beginning with Nanda [Krishna's foster father] all the inhabitants of Vraja, all the cowherds and their wives as also all the Vrishnis beginning with Vasudeva and Devakî and the Yadu women, in truth were gods from heaven indeed. And also the relatives, friends and well-wishers following Kamsa were of that nature [see also verse 22 and B.G. 6: 41-42]. (64) This was all communicated to Kamsa by the all-powerful Nârada [**] who paid him a visit in order to tell him that all the Daityas who burdened the earth were going to be killed [see verse 17 and also 9.24: 56]. (65-66) After the rishi had left Kamsa thought that all the Yadus were divine and that therefore any child born from Devakî could be Vishnu. He thus in fear of his own death arrested Vasudeva and Devakî, confined them at home in shackles and killed one after the other each of their newborn sons not knowing whether it would be the 'Never-born' Lord or not [***]. (67) Kings like him who on this earth are driven by animalistic pleasures and greed, usually put to death mothers, fathers, brothers, friends or anyone else. (68) He had understood [from Nârada] that he in a previous life as the great Asura Kâlanemi personally had been killed by Vishnu [see 8.10: 56]. Therefore he, born again in this world, became an enemy of the Yadu dynasty [that carried the blessings of Vishnu]. (69) He, the almighty ruler subdued [and imprisoned] his own father Ugrasena, the king of the Yadus, Bhojas and Andhakas, so that he could enjoy the states of S'ûrasena all by himself.'

Qasr El Eyni Street ( alternatively transliterated as Kasr El Ainy) is one of the oldest streets in downtown Cairo, Egypt.

Namesake
Qasr El Eyni (Arabic for Palace of El Einy) owes its name to the nearby landmark of the same name, El Einy Pasha's palace, which now hosts one of the oldest medical schools in the Middle East and Africa. The street is also known as Tahrir Qasr El Einy Street because of its outlet into Tahrir Square.

Location and history
Qasr El Einy Street is located in downtown Cairo, running parallel to the Cairo Metro Line 1, spanning El Sayeda Zeinab, Saad Zaghloul and El Sadat stations along its length. The street runs NNE from the National Cancer Institute to Tahrir Square, a distance of 2.4 kilometres (1.5 miles). Tahrir Square was built in the late 1860s, around the Khairy Pasha Palace, which later hosted the American University in Cairo's campus, built in the 1920s.

Tahrir Square

The Metro's Sadat Station serves Tahrir Square, providing links to Giza, Helwan, Maadi, and other districts and suburbs of Greater Cairo.  The area around Tahrir Square includes the Egyptian Museum, the Headquarters of the Arab League building, the Mogamma government building, the original downtown campus of the American University in Cairo, the Nile Hotel, and used to host the National Democratic Party headquarters building until it was demolished in the aftermath of the Egyptian revolution of 2011.

Tahrir Square has been the site for numerous major protests and demonstrations, including in March 2003 when people came out to protest the War in Iraq,  and the 2011 Egyptian protest gatherings. Tahrir Square was originally called "Ismailia Square", named after 19th-century ruler Khedive Ismail, but the name was changed to Tahrir Square after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.

Parliament Building

The parliament building that houses Egypt's legislative body, the House of Representatives, is located on the Qasr El Einy Street. In 2008, the building was severely damaged by a fire.

The Egyptian Geographic Society

The Egyptian Geographic Society (, ) was established by a decree of Khedive Isma'il Pasha on 19 May 1875. Its first president was the German botanist, traveller and ethnologist Georg August Schweinfurth. Founded as the Khedivial Society of Geography, its name was modified several times in order to reflect Egypt's changing political status. It acquired its current name following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.

Egyptian Ethnological Museum

This museum houses exhibits covering the activities and traditions in Cairo including village crafts, costumes, equipment and other items of daily life. The museum is located at the Geographical Society Building on Qasr El-Einy Street.

Cairo University Hospital—Qasr El Einy Hospital

The Qasr El Einy Medical School () is part of the Cairo University School of Medicine, and is located in Garden City district in downtown Cairo. Qasr El Eyni Medical School is one of the largest, oldest, and most prestigious medical schools in Africa and the Middle East. Along with the Cairo University Hospitals, it is considered the largest medical institution in the Middle East, and probably one of the largest in the world. Established in 1827, it was named after El Einy Pasha, whose palace was originally the school's main building. It accepts about 1600 students annually out of the thousands of applicants who apply. The students are chosen by a computer program based on the score they have achieved in high school. It provides a six-year combined premedical-medical programme leading to a MBBCh which is usually followed by a one-year internship at the university hospital.

Qasr El Einy is considered a symbol of the medical profession in Egypt. Hence, the founding date of Qasr El Einy, March 11, 1827, was chosen as the day of the annual festival for the Egyptian medical profession.

Today
Located in the center of downtown Cairo, Qasr El Einy Street has a range of buildings including apartment complexes, banks, churches, gas stations, government buildings, hospitals, internet cafes, mosques, pharmacies, and numerous shops and restaurants. Qasr El Einy Street is a one-way street that heads directly towards Tahrir Square with no intersections, 18-20 side streets, and occasional bus stops.

Major institutions and buildings
Qasr El-Einy Street has many notable institutions, buildings, and landmarks. Listed southeastward from its Tahrir Square terminus they include:
 AUC—American University in Cairo Bookstore (and original AUC Campus, now AUC downtown campus)
 The Mogamma
 The Principal Bank for Development and Agriculture
 The Society for Egyptian Geography
 The Egyptian Ethnological Museum
 Ministry of Transport (General Authority of Roads, Bridges, and Land Transport)
 House of Representatives
 Ministry of Social Solidarity
 Cairo University Hospital—Qasr El Einy Hospital
 Cairo University College of Pharmacy
 Moustapha Fahmy Bay's "Faisal Nada Theater" (1931)
 Cairo Medical Syndicate
 National Herpetology and Tropical Medicine and Research Institute

Adjacent and nearby sites

Mugamma
Mugamma (alternatively the Mogamma), literary meaning 'combined,' is Egypt's government office complex located adjacent to Qasr El Eyni Street on the south side of Tahrir Square, where much of the government paperwork is done. It's a Soviet-era gray concrete, massive twenty-story building. The interior has narrow hallways, unlabeled doors to the many government agencies located in this one building. The agencies in the building  include: the Fire Fighting Organization; the Tax Evasion Investigations Offices; the Passport Offices; and the High Committee for Sports and Youth.  This is where people go to get a marriage license, a driver's license, and most any other necessary license. If one needs to transact with the Egyptian government on public business of most kinds, the Mogamma is where it is transpires.

The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum — officially the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, and commonly referred to as the "Cairo Museum" — on the northern side of Tahrir Square is one of the world's archaeology and ancient art museums. The building holds a collection of Egyptian antiquities, with at least 136,000 items on display. Hundreds of thousands of additional items are in the museum's basement storerooms and elsewhere, and are added to each year with ongoing archaeological excavation discoveries.

Every Tuesday, it's an easy craft, cool cocktail, and fun friends. To learn more check out the archives at www.toocutetuesday.com or the Facebook page.
I may not have a kid, but I have a small cute model willing to try on my bib. Go Gidget go.
You may remember our first foray into fused plastic last year. This year, we did a specific baby related craft (dedicated to new mom Michelle and soon to be new mom Sue) with the fused plastic and ignored the extra step that could have involved stitching on bias tap as piping. Oh well, can't do it all.
Dorrie took the plastic bags her newspaper comes in everyday and fused a few different colors. Ooohhhh, shimmery!
Cocktail of the Night: Gin and juice… laid back….
1. Heat iron to rayon setting. This is apparenly not 3 on Dorrie's iron. We recommend starting on the one setting and slowly increasing the temperature if the fusion isn't working. Too hot and the plastic puckers. Eww.
2. Cut into desired shape. If creating a bib, you can use a bib as a template. We made ours with a pocket and thick wrap around the neck.
3. Fuse the pocket onto the bib on three sides. You can inside out the pocket to hide the fusion.
4. Add velco for closure. Add piping with bias tape if you are feeling super ambitious.
Other variations of the craft also happened (see photo gallery below) and a good and recycling filled time was had by all. Aren't we crafty, and kid friendly!
Love the dedication- I'm sure Ella would love to get her hands on that bib. She has a habit of grabbing onto things (she's not yet sure how her hands work) and pulling! Love the craft. I'm hoping to get a package of goodies soon!

Q: sphinx filter by distinct field I use coreseek 4.1 on centos6.5. coreseek config file like that:
sql_query = select id,username,ordersn,addtime from order where ispay=1;
I what to select users who's order num > 10 between some time.
That's my code:
$s = new SphinxClient;
$s->setServer("localhost", 9312);
$s->setArrayResult(true);
$s->SetGroupDistinct("ordersn");
$s->SetGroupBy("username",SPH_GROUPBY_ATTR);
$s->SetFilterRange("@distinct", 10, 999999);
$result = $s->query('', 'my_index');

But it return null.when i remove $s->SetFilterRange("@distinct", 10, 999999); it return 1261 total_found,some resut like that:
       [18] => Array
            (
                [id] => 238041
                [weight] => 1
                [attrs] => Array
                    (
                        [ordersn] => 0
                        [username] => 0
                        [addtime] => 1448959834
                        [@groupby] => 8980267602450089129
                        [@count] => 20
                        [@distinct] => 28
                    )

            )

It meas that there is someone's ordernum > 10.But how cound i find them by sphinx(coreseek)?

A: This should be possible in SphinxQL:
SELECT *,COUNT(DISTINCT ordersn) AS orders FROM my_index GROUP BY user HAVING orders >= 10

which has a 'HAVING' clause, since 2.2.1-beta. (I think coreseek 5 is based on?)
As far as I am aware this has never been added to the SphinxAPI.

Note that some of these will be invisible because they will be added to something we already have, like SAGE Research Methods or JSTOR.
Relevant highlights (although be sure to check the list for yourself!!): Publication Manual of the APA (6th and the new 7th editions). More access to a lot of our DRMed e-books; University of Michigan e-books (read online; no downloading, etc.); Bloomsbury databases include e-books; MIT e-books (soon).
Why e-books?
Access and read 24/7
Download and read on tablet or laptop (not all e-books)
Save chapters/page ranges as PDF (most e-books)
Highlight and annotate
Save e-books to an online bookshelf for access and review later

E-Books @ the WSU Libraries
It's complicated, because WSU has access to academic e-books from multiple providers, and available functionalities (more than one person use at same time, download PDF chapters, download full book to a desktop/laptop or digital device, etc.) depending on the e-book provider, the book publisher, and how each title was purchased/licensed by the WSU Libraries:
ProQuest Ebook Central and DDA Titles - Aggregator (multiple publishers). E-books are WSU-purchased, or purchased by the Orbis-Cascade Alliance for use by all Alliance (Summit) users. Uses Digital Rights Management to limit check-out periods; may have limited users, copy and pasting, and/or downloading depending on the title.
Example: Teaching to transgress: Education as the practice of freedom. These will be described as "E-Book Central Perpetual and DDA Titles."
ProQuest Ebook Library Academic Complete - a subscription database of about 100,000 e-books from multiple publishers which WSU Libraries subscribes to (via the Alliance). Uses Digital Rights Management to limit check-out periods; may have limited users, copy and pasting, and/or downloading depending on the title. Title availability will change over time! It uses the same database as above, but the Search It catalog record will say "Ebook Central Academic Complete."
Example: Institutional design and voting power in the European Union
EBSCO e-books - Aggregator (multiple publishers). Uses Digital Rights Management to limit check-out periods; may have limited users, copy and pasting, and/or downloading depending on the title.
Example: Schneier on security
Scholarly publishers such as Springer, Elsevier/ScienceDirect, JSTOR, and more, accessed on their own platform. (Note: These usually come without digital rights management (DRM) and can be downloaded by the chapter in yours-to-keep PDFs just like scholarly articles. Most of this guide does not apply to them.)
example: The Handbook of Homicide (Wiley Online Library Online Books)
Freely available PDF or EPUB e-books that are freely available online from government agencies, free e-book providers such as Project Gutenberg, and other sources.
Example: Early voting
Orbis-Cascade Alliance e-book program (2017-) e-books from Wiley, Taylor & Francis (Routledge and CRC), Oxford University Press, California University Press. No digital rights management, so chapters can be downloaded like articles. Includes some purchased content and some contract-period-only e-books. These books will have their publisher platform noted, i.e. Taylor and Francis, then (Orbis-Cascade Alliance).

NOTE: if you are looking for an e-book specifically, you may want to search for your e-book with just the first part of the title and the author (i.e. "teaching to transgress" hooks for the book "Teaching to transgress: Education as the practice of freedom" by bell hooks) or you MAY NOT find it. This has to do with occasionally bad bibliographic data provided by our vendors.
To narrow a search to show just e-books in Search It, use the WSU Pullman (or your other campus library) scope (click the small "v" icon next to the Search button to find it), do your search (i.e. "atlantic salmon") then look at the top of the left-hand filter options under Type and select e-books (you may have to "Show More"). You can also pre-filter by e-book as a Material Type in Advanced Search. To access and read the e-book, click on the title; you'll see a direct link to the item. You may need to select the WSU campus and/or login again with your WSU Network ID if you have not already done so.
Some e-books may be PDF, EPUB, or HTML books that are freely downloadable online books from government agencies or other sources; others (especially those from vendors such as ProQuest Ebook Library or EBSCO Ebook Collection) are proprietary and require the use of Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) or Bluefire software to download and read the e-book offline because the books are wrapped in digital rights management coding to regulate loan periods and prevent piracy (you may need to authorize your e-book reading software with an Adobe account). Not all WSU e-books can be downloaded; it depends on the platform, the license the book was bought under, and on individual publisher permissions. You will usually (but not always) be able to print or save as PDF individual chapters or page sequences, however.
Note: In many cases, you will have more functionality reading your book on-screen than you will if you download it and read it offline on your desktop/laptop or (if it's even an available option) on a digital device such as an e-reader, smartphone, or even a tablet. That is especially true for e-books that are in PDF format instead of EPUB format.
Finding e-books within a specific e-book provider database if for some reason you wanted to
(all of these are also findable using Search It as noted above - if you are searching for a particular title in e-book form, search with the initial part of the title in quotation marks, plus the author. For example, to locate all versions of the book "Initiative and Referendum Voting: Governing Through Direct Democracy in the United States," in all potential Search It scopes, search for it like this: "initiative and referendum voting" braunstein).
You can search and browse WSU-purchased and Summit (Orbis-Cascade Alliance)-purchased ProQuest Ebook Central e-books and subscription-based Ebook Central Academic Complete e-books at ProQuest Ebook Central:
You can search the EBSCO e-book collection database directly.
Most of the e-books in these collections are scholarly e-books in PDF or EPUB format that use Adobe Digital Editons (ADE) digital rights management . They can be read on-screen and, in some cases, can be downloaded and read using your desktop/laptop or a tablet or smartphone. Note: most of WSU Libraries e-books are in PDF format; a few are in EPUB. EPUB e-books will work generally well on a computer, however the PDFs do not work well on anything but a computer or laptop, or a tablet such as an iPad (on an smartphone they tend to swim around like reading microfiche...). However, vendors may allow you to download a chapter or page sequence in "regular" PDF format that you will be able to retain in perpetuity.

How well is your property portfolio performing?
Categories: Latest News
As a real estate professional and TDA Estates Manager I am often asked about the performance of the estate. I believe this is equally important for both private and public sector managers. Key to this question is the property data one holds about the estate. The operational decisions faced on a day to day basis are clearly driven by data, which in turn helps to drive the strategic choices of the business.
A range of questions that my colleagues and I ask, particularly when reviewing the portfolio, include; do the assets actually support the business objectives or do they actually hinder them? What are the risks associated with holding particular assets? Do the cost, performance and risks outweigh their value? Are they in the right place and is it worthwhile investing to mitigate those risks?
To help inform these decisions I consider a range of factors. First and foremost, what is the quality of the accommodation? This can have a real impact on staff. In recent years there has been a significant drive to utilise the space available in a better and more efficient way.
The overall workspace given to an individual member of staff has reduced as technology has improved. This has resulted in a reduction in the cost of occupation, particularly with the advent of hot-desking, open plan offices and reduction of paper files and storage. It goes without saying that a building should be physically safe and secure.
A well maintained building tends to perform well in terms of energy use. Furthermore the level of cleanliness and standard of decoration also has a direct impact on staff moral and satisfaction. Of course the alternative occurs when a property is poorly maintained; levels of disrepair are high when costs of occupation can easily spiral out of control.
The costs of occupation of the estate I manage are monitored continuously, so I am able to see re-occurring spikes in expenditure or a gradual increase over time. A simple question I always have in the back of mind is simply how expensive is a building to occupy. This will include understanding the full utility costs, replacement of lifecycle items (furniture and fixtures), IT equipment and rents and rates. Collating this occupational information by building and location helps to give an overall performance review of the portfolio and allow buildings to be ranked and decisions taken on potential disposal.
The location of a building is also an important factor to consider as experience has shown it can have a huge impact on productivity. The length of journey time for staff to travel to work can also have a significant impact on attracting suitable and talented staff. If the location of the business does not depend upon geographical features or customer access then it is important to consider alternative ways of working, including encouraging remote working. This will help to attract new talent perhaps from further afield that may, hitherto, act as a barrier.
Having a close awareness of when leases are due for renewal will help determine when decisions are required regarding potential reinvestment in a building or a decision to move. Knowing these dates well in advance will provide early opportunity for change and transformation in how a business operates. My own experience has shown that working under tight financial constraints is undoubtedly challenging but having a close understanding of property data will help support the decisions made about buildings.
TDA is able to provide advice and support on building life cycles and occupancy. Paul Palmer, TDA Estates Manager, can be contacted on paul.palmer@tedcltd.com

If I don't win a sixth world title, I'll still think I've had a good season
By Ronnie O'Sullivan | Ronnie O'Sullivan – Wed, Mar 26,

PRESTON IS A SNOOKER TOWN
I've always loved coming to Preston. For years, it hosted the UK Championship which is our second biggest ranking tournament. It was well supported, and I've got a lot of good memories.
The Guild Hall is a terrific venue. There should be tournaments here all the time because it is one of the best snooker venues you can play at.
Winning the UK back here in 1993 was a dream come true for me because I was playing Stephen Hendry, who was my hero. He was number one at the time, and probably the best player who played the game. For me, it was a dream at such a young age. I was only in my second year as a professional so to win such a big tournament was a major achievement.
This is where it all started for me. I think to myself: where have 21 years gone? I was only 17 when I played there. 21 years on top of that makes me feel like an old man now. It has all been good fun, and I have enjoyed it. I have no regrets really. I just wish I could maybe go back to the beginning again.
I went on Richard and Judy after beating Hendry. It was the biggest morning chat show on at the box. They filmed it in Liverpool at the time. I went to see the sponsors who were Liverpool Victoria. Their offices were next door to the studio, and suddenly I was sitting on a chat show discussing my success. I thought it would be cool to do an interview. It was all a bit of a new experience for me really.
I wasn't really nervous back then. The most important thing to me was my snooker. I was just telling them what they wanted to know really. I might have been a bit nervous if they had asked me about something other than snooker. I don't remember thinking back then that I had made it. I just had the flavour of it. I had won a major event.
But for me, it was about winning more. I think I won the British Open in the same year, but then I kind of went off the rails a little bit. I probably missed out on a few trophies because of that. I do have regrets maybe wasting a few years, but sometimes you have to go through those little phases in life to learn for the future.
2005 GRAND PRIX AND THREAT TO "PLANT A FEW SHRUBS IN THE GARDEN"
I was getting results, but I wasn't really playing that well when I reached the final of the 2005 Grand Prix in Preston. I wasn't the type of guy who was happy getting results. I wanted to be doing well - that's why I said I'd rather be out gardening than playing snooker despite reaching the final. Just frustration.
I got a little bit disappointed with myself. As you get older, you tend to realise you can't play well all the time. You just have to get out there, and give it a go. If it goes well, then great. If not, you must dust yourself down, and get yourself ready for the next one.
I lost 9-2 to John Higgins in the final. He hit four straight centuries in the final, scored almost 500 points without reply and was like a train with no brakes. It was no disgrace in losing to him on that day. I got a good hiding. He is a great, great player. That is all I can say, really.
I still get the same feeling inside these days when I miss an easy ball, or I'm feeling frustrated, but I tend not to act on them like I did before. When things don't go my way, I don't think I want to get out of here; that I'd rather be anywhere else but here. I've sometimes done that, and when I get home I think: 'I'd rather be back there playing' and it was all heat of the moment stuff.
Sometimes that is all it is, and you are going to regret those feelings if you don't try to get a result for yourself.
Nowadays, I try to get a result, play the balls and play each shot as it comes. I'm of a mind that you must try to live to fight another day. In any walk of life, things can turn around quickly. You must try to stick with it, and you don't went to damage your own prospects of success by giving up.
PRACTICE DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE PERFECT
It took me five hours in the car to get to Preston. It is two hours on the train to get here, but I need my car, that's why I drive.
I'll tend to do an hour the night before the match in practice then an hour so before I go. Just so I can get the feel of the table. That is about it really. All my practice has been done before I get here, so it is all about winning my first match. You are not really going to find your game when you get here.
It is more about playing your way into the tournament. And you tend to get a bit stronger as you progress. The first match is probably one to get out of the way, and get your teeth into the tournament.
Of course, I'll need to fit in my running schedule. I started running seriously back in 2003 or 2004. My mate took me out running. I got a good buzz. It is good fun, and a good distraction to be out and about keeping fit.
FAILURE TO WIN WORLD TITLE DOES NOT MEAN SEASON IS A FAILURE
I know Roger Federer and Tiger Woods try to get themselves in prime shape for the Slams and Majors in their sports, but it is difficult to peak for every big tournament. Sport is on the day, and lot of it depends on how you wake up and what mood you are in.
You can sometimes not feel right, and things might not go your way. You can try to peak for certain events. And each tournament and each match. Sometimes you might not win the World Championship, but you can win two or three tournaments along the way. It doesn't mean if you don't win the world title, you haven't had a good season.
If I don't win another match this season, I'd still look back and think I've had a good season. If someone had offered me a Masters, the Welsh Open and the Champion (of Champions) Cup in the amount of tournaments I've played, I'd have bitten their hand off.
I would have taken those all day long. Before the Champions Cup started, I said I would have been happy to win one of the next five events. I've won three out of four events. I'm ahead of schedule. I can't be too hard on myself if I don't win the world title this year.
I'd love to win it, and I'll do my best to win it. But a lot of it is on the day. There are a lot of good players out there hungry for success. On their day, they are all tough competitors. You don't want to rely on giving too many of the players nowadays a big lead during the sessions at the World Championship, but at least you have some leeway over the longer distance.
You can afford to go 5-3 behind or 9-7 behind, and still be in the match. But if you are 11-5 behind or 12-4 down, you have a real uphill struggle. The longer distance tends to suit the better and more consistent players so hopefully I can go there and find some form, and perform how I did over the past two years there.
I'D LOVE TO APPEAR ALONGSIDE JIM DAVIDSON ON BIG BREAK
I'm really enjoying doing The Ronnie O'Sullivan Show. Just keep me posted if Jim Davidson gets the go-ahead to return to Channel Five with Big Break. I might have to do John Virgo's old role alongside Jim. I could pick the balls out of the pockets for the competitors. I'd do that all day long.
Why not? It was a very decent show at the time. It would be really good if they bring it back. I enjoyed Jim winning Celebrity Big Brother. Hopefully, his success can rub off on snooker.
Ronnie O'Sullivan was speaking to Desmond Kane.
Ronnie O'Sullivan insists he's never played better as he eyes sixth Crucible word title
Mar 22, 2014 08:49
By Ted Tracey
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/
THE SNOOKER star believes he's in the form of his life as he aims for his third successive triumph in Sheffield.
RONNIE O'SULLIVAN has fired an ominous warning to his Crucible rivals by claiming he's in the form of his life.
The Rocket will bid for a sixth World title next month having already won the Champion of Champions, Masters and Welsh Open titles this season.
The 38-year-old is going for a third successive Sheffield triumph. Another title would take him level with Steve Davis on the all-time list and just one short of Stephen Hendry's record.
After working with Dr Steve Peters, England's new World Cup mind guru, O'Sullivan insists the game seems easy again and that he has become a winning machine.
Problems with drink, drugs and depression forced him to consider quitting the game but the clean-living Englishman now claims he has never been happier off the table as well.
He said: "I'm playing as well as I ever have done, with freedom and enjoyment but also the craft I have added.
"And I'm as happy as I have ever been – it is something I work on hard with Steve. I haven't always been happy playing snooker and that has been the key to doing well.
"I take it seriously on the table, the competitor comes out, but away from that I don't take it as seriously now.
"I always said I was a different animal and could never be a ruthless winning machine like Davis or Hendry – but I have become one.
"I'm winning a high ratio of events that I enter and winning them pretty convincingly.
"The Masters and the Welsh this year and the Worlds last year, no one got close to me.
"I can't play a lot better than that and I don't need to. The whole package is there now where it wasn't before.
"These last three years I have been playing like I was as a kid at 16 at Blackpool in the qualifiers. The game came easy to me then and it is coming easy to me now again.
"There have been moments where I have been left thinking 'I can't play any better than this, this is as high as it gets.'"
O'Sullivan has also been given his own series by Eurosport which starts on Tuesday while he heads to Preston for the PTC Grand Finals.
He added: "I was scared at first filming but I am passionate about it so I was fine.
"What I want to come over is my philosophy of the sport, how I learned to play it.
"I realised some time ago there is nothing out there that will give me the buzz I get from playing snooker and you have to plan for your future. This gives me another string to my bow."


What you might not know is that Viking is taking their river cruising business to the high seas. They just launched Viking Ocean Cruises and I was fortunate enough to be one of the first passengers on their maiden ship, Viking Star.
The first thing I noticed when our taxi pulled into port was that Viking has chosen to create a new kind of vessel, compared to today's mega liners. Viking Star was classified by CruiseCritic.com as a "small ship" but I definitely wouldn't call it small. It's more of a medium ship since it has 465 staterooms that can accommodate 930 passengers; the gross tonnage is 47,800 tons.
What could be the most influential reason to book a cruise with Viking Ocean Cruises is the fact that every cabin has their own veranda! That is huge since passengers won't feel claustrophobic or miss out on the views, sunrises and sunsets or fresh ocean air. Verandas range in size from 46 to 490 square feet.
My dad and I went on their full-day tour to the historic beaches of Normandy after docking in the port city of Rouen, France on the River Seine. I had never been to this area and it was on my bucket list to see the famous WWII beaches. However, I thought about passing since it's a two-hour drive in each direction but it was a beautiful day so it would have been a sin not to go. The tour begins with a lovely lunch in a French manor house (see photos below) but it could've been eliminated since most passengers had had breakfast two hours earlier and I bet would have preferred to spend more time at the sites. After lunch, there was another 30-minute drive to Omaha Beach, then it was 10 minutes to the American Military Cemetery. They only give guests 45 minutes at the latter, which is definitely not enough time. The final stop is in the town of Arromanches-les-Bains to spend an hour at the Arromanches Debarquement D-Day Museum.

Historic Avalanche Cycle Wreaks Havoc on Little Cottonwood Canyon
UDOT crews working tirelessly to clear the road to Alta after the historic avalanche cycle that left inhabitants trapped in Little Cottonwood Canyon for 52 consecutive hours. Photo by Rocko Menzyk
From Feb. 6 – 7, 48 avalanches were recorded in Little Cottonwood Canyon, 21 of which hit the highway, keeping inhabitants of the town of Alta trapped indoors on an "interlodge notice" for 52 straight hours. It was the longest time Alta had been interlodged in its history. The Tanner's Gulch slide path released a size D4 avalanche that was triggered naturally and had traveled all the way down to highway 210, burying a section of the road. This is only the seventh time in recorded history that Tanner's has slid all the way to the highway.
"When you see trees and snow on the road from Tanner's, an avalanche path that from the ridgeline to the road is over a mile and a half and over 4,000 feet above us, even a small amount of trees and debris on the road is a big avalanche," said Utah Department of Transportation avalanche forecaster Mark Sauer.
The avalanche cycle which occurred from Thursday, Feb. 6 to Friday, Feb. 7 has now been labeled by meteorologists as a "historic weather event," and to understand how it happened, one must look at the events leading up to this over the course of the entire winter.
Utah Avalanche Center forecaster and education specialist, Trent Meisenheimer, said that this all goes back to mid-October of 2019 when the Wasatch received its first snowstorm of the winter season that deposited cold, low-density snow. The next snow would not fall until Nov. 21 and would be much warmer than the previous October storm. Because of this, a weak layer of faceted snow formed in the snowpack, which is angular snow with poor bonding created from large temperature gradients in the snowpack.
"Faceted snow is the jihadist of our snowpack. It's bad and we don't want it," Meisenheimer said.
By Dec. 15, faceted snow was still a major concern in the Wasatch's snowpack. It had created a persistent weak layer on north-facing slopes, which would remain an avalanche problem on the UAC's daily issued avalanche forecast until Jan. 19, 2020 only to be reinstated on south-facing slopes the following day, Jan. 20. Then, on Feb. 3, an "atmospheric river," hit the Wasatch, that, in conjunction with strong, sustained winds from the northwest, would be the catalyst for this historic avalanche cycle.
Michael Wessler, a meteorologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, described an atmospheric river as "a firehouse of moisture," where a little pathway of moisture is transported north out of the tropics towards the west coast of North America by very strong winds.
"Atmospheric rivers are not unique events," Wessler said, and not all locations see the same weather impacts as others when dealing with one. What makes atmospheric rivers special for a place like the Wasatch are the mountains themselves.
"The key piece here in the Wasatch is that we have terrain. That terrain acts to basically take this atmospheric river and wring it out like a sponge," Wessler said.
When the atmospheric river first entered the Wasatch, it deposited cold, low-density snow in the mountains, with large snow totals being found on valleys and benches. Then, temperatures rose and winds picked up, sustaining an average wind speed of about 50 mph for 36-48 hours, according to Wessler. This is the timeframe when higher density, heavier snow was being deposited on top of the lighter, lower density snow thus creating an extremely unstable weak layer. This is what meteorologists refer to as an "upside-down storm," drastically increasing the likelihood for avalanches. It was at this point on Feb. 6 that avalanche forecaster Trent Meisenheimer decided to call his boss and director of the UAC, Mark Staples, and tell him to issue an "avalanche warning," for Little Cottonwood Canyon.
"Winds above me are just nuking sideways, it's snowing super hard, and I say 'Hey Mark, I think it's time to pull the warning," Meisenheimer said.
The avalanche warning along with the interlodge notice for the town of Alta would remain in effect until 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8. This was the first time that Alta residents were allowed to step outside in 52 hours. The following week was greeted with sunshine and temperatures in the low to mid-twenties (°F) providing excellent skiing conditions. But the snowpack is already beginning to change again. Cold and clear conditions the week of Feb. 9-16 have furthered the development of faceted snow, and with a new storm system moving into the Wasatch on Sunday, Feb. 16, there is potential for another weak layer forming and raising the avalanche hazard.
