Södermanland (help·info), sometimes referred to under its Latin form Sudermannia or Sudermania, is a historical province or landskap on the south eastern coast of Sweden. It borders Östergötland, Närke, Västmanland and Uppland. It is also bounded by lake Mälaren and the Baltic sea.
In Swedish, the province name is frequently shortened to Sörmland.
Södermanland means "Southern man land". It was used as a directional reference to lake Mälaren, compared to Uppland (north) and Västmanland (west).

7.2 Hundreds
The traditional provinces of Sweden serve no administrative or political purposes, but are historical and cultural entities. There is a corresponding administrative Södermanland County. However, the bulk of the population is within Stockholm County
The coat of arms was granted in 1560. The arms is represented with a ducal coronet. Blazon: "Or, a Griffin rampant Sable beaked, langued, membered and armed Gules." The same CoA was granted for the county in 1940.
Landscape in Södermanland.
Södermanland is situated between lake Mälaren to the north and the Baltic Sea to the south and east. In the south, the border to Östergötland is comprised by the Kolmården forest.
The terrain is flat, with its highest altitude being Skogsbyås at 124 meters elevation. The terrain largely consists of water filled hollows covered with woods on the heights.
There are three major water regions. One in the west, where lake Hjälmaren drains into Mälaren. There is a second water region on Södertörn, which is rather small in size and has no larger lakes: Bornsjön 6.5 km², Orlången 2.5 km², Magelungen 2.9 km². The third is to the south towards Kolmården.
Stockholm: It's notable that both the city of Stockholm (capital of Sweden) and Stockholm County is divided in the middle between Södermanland (southern part) and Uppland (northern part).
National parks: Tyresta
The population of Södermanland is 1,193,583 as of December 31, 2009. It distributes over three counties as follows:[1]
part of Stockholm County 917,944
part of Södermanland County 268,987
part of Västmanland County 6,652
Södermanland is with its 146 inhabitants/km² the most densely populated of the provinces; a great part of Stockholm urban area being situated within its limits.
Södermanland is one of the ancient Swedish provinces. People probably settled there in the early Stone Age, from which time the earliest remains date. There are a total of 96,000 known ancient remains such as grave fields, coins, knives, etc. There are prominent finds especially from the Younger Stone Age, but also a substantial amount from the Nordic Bronze Age. From the older Iron Age, before 0 AD, the finds are however more sparse. Then from the 5th and 6th century the finds are again plenty, now of gold. In 1774, a treasure of 12 kilograms of gold from that time was found on a farm in Tureholm.
From the Viking Age 300 runestones remain, second only to Uppland in quantity. The oldest, which is dated from the late 6th century, is the Skåäng Runestone.
The earliest recorded history is generally of the legendary kind. Before the 7th century it is deemed to have been governed by petty kingdoms. This period ended when Ingjald the Ill-Ruler allegedly had a number of local rulers arsoned around 640.
The oldest city with the historical city status in Södermanland was Södertälje, a privilege granted around 1000. Nyköping received the privilege in 1187. In the 13th century, Stockholm was granted the privilege; in the 14th century followed by Strängnäs, Torshälla and Trosa.
Around 1100, Strängnäs became the episcopal seat with a bishop and cathedral. It was for a long time the only diocese of the province. In 1942 the Diocese of Stockholm was established, claiming parts of the Strängnäs territory.
The first affirmative records date from the 13th century. King Magnus Ladulås was given the province in 1266, and settled himself on the manor at Nyköping. Nyköping became one of the most important cities in Sweden. In 1317, Nyköping become the location of the infamous Nyköping Banquet where King Birger had both his brothers murdered to take possession of the crown and avenge earlier wrong-deeds.
In 1523 the King Gustav Vasa, referred to as the Sweden's father of the nation, was crowned in Strängnäs. The date, June 6, eventually is commemorated as the national holiday. Karl IX, a son of Gustav Vasa, favoured the province, fortifying castles and establishing early industries.

There have been revisions to Food retailing, Queensland, for October 2006.
CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE
An improved "two-dimensional reconciliation" methodology has been used in the seasonal adjustment process, and is being implemented from this November 2006 issue. This results in additivity between high level (national, state, and industry total) seasonally adjusted series and aggregates of lower-level (state by industry) seasonally adjusted series. This has resulted in historic revisions. See paragraph 27 of the explanatory notes for more detail.
SAMPLING ERRORS
Standard errors for the Australian estimates (original data) for November 2006 contained in this publication are:

UHPC Precast Piling Progress
by PSE Marketing | Oct 27, 2020 | UHPC
ONLY TOOK 5 YEARS! Since being introduced to Dr. Sriram Aaleti's and Dr. Sri Sritharan's UHPC H-Pile work during a presentation by Sriram when I was the piling committee chair, there have been countless hours.
Hours of brainstorming with Chad Saunders at Precast Systems Inc., launching a business to forge inroads in this market, partnering with a great supplier in Cor-Tuf UHPC, collaborating with a progressive owner in DelDOT (Jason Hastings, Nick Dean, and Scott Walls), consulting with geotechnical experts to look over our shoulders at Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers (Sitotaw Y. Fantaye, PE, Raj Chinthamani) and finding a contractor willing to take a little risk on the right job where we could replace a couple of HP12x53's on a bridge abutment with Richard E. Pierson Construction Co., Inc. (Nicholas Hetrick, Dave Balcerak, Tim Jackson). A small scale mock-up but a BIG STEP in the right direction. In a couple of weeks, we drive these puppies and see if we can duplicate the success of those that have come before us paving the way!!!
UHPC is more than just overlays – precast piling offers a competitive solution to steel piles today where a driven pile is a proven pile and the durability of UHPC a value added benefit to owners
UHPC – Constructability meets Durability
by PSE Marketing | Sep 16, 2019 | UHPC
All too often in construction when we gather around a set of plans, we immediately come up with some really good ideas to improve constructability. This can be detailing alterations which may make things easier on the laborer in the field, providing a safer alternative approach, or realizing a time savings alternative where components can be made in advance and connected simply, quickly to get out of a hazardous project or even meet a demanding schedule. However, even in our best, most well thought out approaches to simplify processes, durability is always a primary concern. We need longevity and resiliency in our structures, and it is the responsibility of all parties to ensure that we meet these goals.
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) offers a unique opportunity to improve constructability and provide even greater durability than the current methods of doing business.
Let's explore one example. We do a lot of precast, prestressed marine concrete piers and wharves on concrete or steel piling. Typically, this is comprised of precast, prestressed caps spanning multiple piles and closures made between the ends of the concrete section. These piers can be several hundred feet long and the precast elements anywhere from 30 ft to 80 ft depending on crane capacity. The reinforcement projecting out of the ends of the members vary from #8's up to #11's. In some challenging projects, we have used headed #18 bars. The normal concrete closure is typically 4 ft to 6 ft long as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Closure Pour, Normal Concrete
A lot of these projects are on sites not easily accessible as the sites by land are typically congested and require special clearance and water even more complex yet each one of these closures only amounts to 2 or 3 yards of concrete. Filling these joints are also a critical path item where waiting for a large placement by a pump truck may or may not be possible and in some cases this all has to be coordinated with the tide. (Figure 2)
Figure 2: Closure Pour, Tide Influenced Placement
Enter UHPC as the alternative. Pre-bagged material may be shipped in advance and batching may commence onsite as needed for this critical connection. Studies are underway where bars up to #11's may only require a 12" UHPC closure to fully develop the bar. This greatly reduces the volume required resulting in less loose material delivered to the job site as well. More importantly, this delays the requirement of normal concrete delivered to the job site until after the deck planks are set. Therefore, traditional concreting occurs only when there is a large platform for crews to walk on, safely and more efficiently.
Figure 3: UHPC Joint, 1'-0"
The same value added occurs in bridges as well. If a precast, prestressed cap is used which is large or heavy, then a UHPC closure provides the connection thereby delaying the delivery of ready mix concrete until after the girders and stay in place forms are set.
Future of UHPC Caps in a Marine Environment
An entire new level of utilizing UHPC in marine environments is a shell structure as utilized in Malaysia (Figure 4). These are much lighter allowing for a smaller crane and enough capacity for the connection to the pile and dead load of the deck and infill concrete. The infill concrete can be placed from safely above doing away with the need for any extra formwork in the field where continuity reinforcement is placed inside the shell. A discrete corbel at the outside of the shell may support transverse caps or a continuous ledge may support deck slabs greatly simplifying the construction process and taking UHPC from predominately a connection material to a cost effective, value added component.

Enhancing safety while encouraging constructability, UHPC provides a rare opportunity to think outside the box with inherent durability in the material or the connection thus changing the approach to construction.

Pier 26 in the Hudson River
This was a unique project where we re-designed the connection to the pile to improve constructability and designed lifting embedments for the precast elements while verifying stresses and avoiding many, many embeds. Most went according to plan with the help and coordination of a great team: Trevcon Construction, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, and Precast Systems, Inc.
This article by the Tribeca Trib offers an extensive overview of the project.

You know that there ain't no sunshine when he's gone. I really don't like it when he's away. He's always gone too long, anytime he goes away.
Shameless. Taking song lyrics as the post's opening...tsk, tsk, tsk.
I think about Engineer all the time when he's gone but there's consolation in the fact that he thinks about me too.
I tease him about experiencing a bachelor's lifestyle when he's away but really he would rather be experiencing our lifestyle with me.
Case in point, while he was in Fredericksburg, TX for work, every time I talked to him he would say how romantic the town was. The carriages through town, the quaint restaurants, or when he would eat somewhere he described it as "our kind of place."
At night when we spoke on the phone he would say how he wanted to take me to some of the places he had gone.
I love that he thinks of me just as much as I think of him.
And Engineer...here's your chance. Our anniversary is only a couple of days away and I can pack a bag in 10 minutes and be ready to get out the door to go wherever you want to take me to find "our kind of place".
PB used to have to go for road trips for his work quite a bit. After we moved in we went together. With the dogs! It was a lot of fun to travel together.
After this last trip of three whole weeks, I have told Engineer that we will be packing up the kiddo and the dogs and homeschooling for a few weeks if we have to so that we aren't apart.

Subhash Mukhopadhyay: Poet of the middle-class
Published on : 08 July 2019, 09:43 AM
Subhash Mukhopadhyay is one of the main poets of the 40`s. At the age of only 21, he was vocal against the financial plight and helplessness of the middle-class Bengalis. This pioneer of Marxist poetry emerged with the collective conscience excluding the personal consciousness of poets of the 30's. So, his poems became the poems of the masses. As a result, even after being a poet of the forties he represents the opinion of the masses of all-time. Today marks 16th death anniversary of this great poet of Bengali literature.
Though poetry was his main literary field, he was celebrated in rhymes, travelogues, economics related writings, translations, novels, biographies, children and adolescents write-ups. He edited and translated many write-ups and poems written by foreign writers into Bengali. From the 1940s, his non-romantic candid poetry was followed by subsequent poets. He went down to society`s grassroots level and reflected the actual scenario in his poem directly, but still his poem is devoid of abomination. That is the most important credit of the poet.
Even before Subhash, communism existed in Bengali poetry through Kazi Nazrul Islam, Sukanta Bhattacharya, and Samar Sen. But pre-Shubhash communist poets were not confident communist. Subhash Mukhopadhyay was first recognized to be a communist poet. He was an active political activist like Manik Bandopadhyay. Subhash Mukhopadhyay is a rare combination of politics and poetry. He was unable to study much due to his involvement in political activities.
Political subsistence has been a priority if we analyze Subhash Mukhopadhyay`s life and work. He stood on the stage of poetry to give speech like political leaders. Even at one stage, he took complete recess from poem to get him involved in politics. For the sake of the promotion of special political ideology he wrote poetry and made a separation from it for the sake of politics. His political identity is superior to his Parnassian identity.
At the age of only 21, while still a student, he published his first volume of poetry 'Padatik'. His first book attracted the attention of the critiques. Many critiques regard this book as a milestone in the development of modern Bengali poetry. Then his ground breaking poetries like Agnikone, Chirkut, PhulPhutuk,JotoDureii Jai, KaalModhumash were published subsequently.
Subhash is quite different from other communist writers of the Bengali literature. He is regarded as the first clear and confident Marxist poet. On his death anniversary today, we remember him with great respect.


Tetris meets shoot-'em-up, Rampart is a game combining strategy and artillery action. Build your castle from Tetris-style pieces, place your cannons, bombard the enemy, try to repair, do it all over again. The original arcade release has a single-player and a two-player mode; later revisions incorporate three-player gameplay.
The Arcade version of Rampart appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Two versions of Rampart were released on the NES - North America saw a version ported for Jaleco by Bitmasters (who would also do the Super NES and DOS ports), while in Japan Konami released their own in-house version of the game. Jaleco's version of "Rampart" is faithful to the original arcade version, while Konami's version is a more light-hearted take on the game with 4 different scenarios and more depth than the Jaleco version.

President Donald Trump said in a speech on Wednesday night that he would soon introduce legislation that immigrants to America should not receive welfare benefits for at least five years.
The new measure will stipulate that "those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years," Trump said as the crowd of thousands at the campaign-style rally exploded into extended applause.
federal means-tested public benefit" for five years beginning when they come into the country. However, the law has exceptions and additional legislation since its passage has also affected eligibility.
The president also said that "those coming into our country must embrace our values" and he renewed calls for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, saying publicly what he reportedly had said privately to fellow lawmakers — that the wall would include solar panels.
"We're thinking about building the wall as a solar wall," Trump told supporters gathered at the U.S. Cellular Center here. "This way, Mexico will have to pay much less money."


The employee handbook is an employer's first line of defense in matters ranging from unemployment claims proceedings to vacation accrual and disciplinary policies and actions. As a result, it is critical that employers have a clear employee handbook that sets proper expectations for employees regarding their working conditions.
Clearly communicate with managers and employees regarding policy implementation.
Establish that employees are at-will unless specifically designated otherwise.
Clarify vacation and leave policies for all employees.
Establish disciplinary procedures and communicate expectations to employees.
Ensure that employees are informed regarding how to report harassment to supervisors.
Establish proper timekeeping procedures and responsibilities.
Prohibit illegal deductions from employee pay.


Katsina — A Katsina state government project verification committee has uncovered a total 712 projects believed to have been executed and paid by the administration, 32 of them were found not executed, 6 abandoned just as 12 others not documented.
Presenting, the report, the acting chairman of the committee, Umar Rigoji said 581 of the projects have been executed and completed satisfactorily, 52 poorly and partially executed while 26 are ongoing.
In his remarks, governor Aminu Masari commended the committee for the work and assured the consultants and staff at the MDA's must be made accountable saying that the administration has been receiving complains especially on the social media which prompted the constitution of the independent verification committee.


Those wondering how President Donald Trump plans to pay for the $1.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich he signed into law last year got their answer on Monday, when the White House unveiled its 2019 budget (pdf) blueprint that calls for $1.7 trillion in cuts to crucial safety net programs over the next decade — including $237 billion in cuts to Medicare alone.
"The Trump budget is morally bankrupt and bad economic policy," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wrote on Twitter Monday shortly after the White House proposal was made public.
Trump's budget will include over $200 billion in cuts to food stamps. We can afford a trillion dollars in tax cuts for CORPORATIONS, but must cut food stamps. Got it.
"Millions of Americans will lose access to life-saving programs because the GOP gave $1.5 trillion in tax cuts to the rich," the advocacy group Tax March wrote on Twitter.
In addition to calling for potentially devastating cuts to healthcare, food stamps, and other components of America's already-withering safety net, Trump's budget also calls for large cuts to environmental programs — including $598.5 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"President Trump's budget is nothing short of devastating for all Americans who value clean air, safe drinking water, and protected public lands," Rhea Suh, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement on Monday.
Though presidential budget requests are non-binding, they are a strong indicator of the White House's goals and values, as Indivisible's senior policy manager Chad Bolt observed while analyzing the newly released document.
In a pair of early-morning votes, the US House and Senate approved bills to end a brief overnight shutdown.
A brief history of how US lawmakers got into this mess to begin with.


Fantastic, I have spent so much time searching these damned gems . And now I know with 100% that I should see only on the Comet. Thanks a lot.
My profile shown that no gem left, but ,in the game, I still have 99% rainbow. ??? What should I do??
Is there any possibility that only the last gem can't be detected by this program?

Hi. Try to use this utility.
Gem Utility work on "rented" games, such as wildtangent/wildcoins?
I downloaded, opened viewer window, and got nothing but blank with the buttons 'open' or 'quit'. When I click 'open' it just opens another list of files... am I doing something wrong?
I really, really appreciate the help, esp. as I have 99% of gems, but no guardian moon. Thanks!
Unfortunately this utility is no longer supported as we released Totem Tribe Gold which already has built-in gem counter in the game. It also has 10 new levels so check it out!
I have been trying to figure out how to download the gem utility on Windows 7 and have followed everything that has been printed in all threads. I am not a completely savvy computer person, but do know my way around. Could someone please help me out. I have 87% and would love to do the rest of this game if possible. It would be a total shame to lose out now when I am so close. Have rechecked every island and have checked all bushes, trees, rocks, etc. to no avail. Please help and soon. Thanks so much.
Lost in gem utility world.


I felt very happy when I discovered that the true art is rising again. Recently I earned a Bachelor's degreed in Design, but my wish was to draw. One of the reasons that made me choose Design instead of Visual Arts was the bad way taken by the academic art.
A few times ago I discovered a Bouguereau painting in the internet and thought that was Da Vinci. I found a part of "A Little Coaxing" and got deeply impressed. And now, trying to know who is Bouguereau and searching for more of his paintings, I find out that there is people doing real art in our days. It's a breath of life.
In the present time, I'm looking for a post-graduation in Art or Design. I would like to do Art, more specifically painting, but, as I said, I avoid the academic art for fear of be locked in the Modernism's jails. I was studying a way of making my work nearest as possible of the beautiful draw and painting. But now I see that art still living, and there is academies of it that I've never heard before.
I would like to ask for more information. The study in this academies is for everyone? How much of this academies exist? Is there some academy in South America? What is needed to get on them?


From letting the mainstream press (not even the comics press…if there's any such thing left) ruin the ending to the ending itself after a huge build-up, it appears DC Comics is realizing what a disaster the wedding issues were, or at least that the fanbase at large thought it was since they're not apologizing for any of it. Rather than leave comic stores with a lot of unmovable comics they're allowing the return of Batman #50 and Catwoman #1 (the 2018 ones…how many Batman comics have reached #50 over the years?).

Extensibility Accelerator for Functional Testing is a Visual Studio-like IDE that facilitates the design, development, and deployment of Web Add-in Extensibility toolkit support sets.
You develop a toolkit support set in an extensibility project. The main Extensibility Accelerator functionalities are available only when you have a project open. You can open only one project at a time.
This section introduces the Extensibility Accelerator window and lists the main areas in comprises and how you can use them.
You can customize the appearance of this window by moving and docking the windows it contains and by customizing toolbars, in the same ways as you would in Visual Studio.
Note: If your computer's display is set to the Windows Classic style, the colors and appearance of some tabs will differ from the intended design.
If you are working in Windows 8, you can access program files previous accessible from the Start menu in the Windows 8 Start screen. UFT Documentation and other files are accessible in Windows 8 from the Apps screen.
Extensibility Accelerator Start Page. Displayed when no projects are open. This page describes the Extensibility Accelerator product, and provides access to some basic functionalities, such as creating a new project, opening recent projects or sample projects, or viewing a movie about Extensibility Accelerator.
Project Start Page. Displayed when you create or open a project. It explains the steps that comprise defining a test object class. These steps correspond to the tabs in the test object class designer.
In addition, this Start Page provides a link that you can click to create a new test object class.
This designer enables you to define settings that affect how UFT treats this toolkit support set. The information that you define in this designer is stored in the toolkit support set's XML files.
The test object class designer is the main designer in Extensibility Accelerator. It enables you to define all of the details about the test object class that you want UFT to use for the custom control. For example, the name of the test object class, the types of controls that it represents, and the operations and properties that it supports.
Make sure to visit all of the tabs in this designer.
General Tab (Test Object Class Designer).
This designer enables you to define lists of values that can be used for test object operation arguments or return values. This information is stored in the test object configuration XML file.
For details, see Enumerations Designer.
The _elem token represents the control or element that UFT is handling when the function runs. In Extensibility Accelerator, IntelliSense for the _elem token provides the methods and properties available for an application control that matches the identification rules defined for your test object class.
IntelliSense for the _elem token is available only when you are editing the default implementation file for the test object class.
To make sure that a control of the correct type is available, make sure that the rules displayed in the rule editor for your test object class correctly identify at least one control in your application. To do this, you can click Test All Rules in the Map to Controls Tab (Test Object Class Designer) and verify that a control is highlighted in the application.
When you open an XML file, it opens in an editor that provides standard XML editing capabilities, such as color-coded display and syntax completion features. For details, see the online MSDN Visual Studio Help.
This editor can also provide XML IntelliSense and validation based on the relevant schemas. Extensibility Accelerator provides the XML schemas that you need for editing the toolkit configuration XML file and the test object configuration XML file (<Extensibility Accelerator installation>\dat\Toolkit.xsd and <Extensibility Accelerator installation>\dat\ClassesDefinitions.xsd respectively).
Caution: In extensibility projects, there is a strong connection between file names, the location of the files in the project, and the content of different files. Therefore, if you edit XML files manually, make sure you do not create discrepancies.
Workflow. Displays the development stages required to create and deploy support for a custom toolkit, highlighting the current stage.
You can click on the relevant stage to create a new test object class or deploy the toolkit support set. For details, see Workflow Window.
Class View. Displays the test object classes defined in the open project, and the operations defined for each test object class.
This window also provides access to common activities such as adding or editing classes and editing or debugging operations. For details, see Class View.
This window is available only when a project is open.
Project Explorer. Displays the folders and files that make up the open extensibility project.
You can double-click files in the project tree to open them. For details, see Project Explorer.
Error List. Displays error, warning, or information messages when mandatory data is missing in your project or if conflicts or discrepancies are found between information in the different files.
Standard Visual Studio windows are available as well, such as: Task List and Find Results, and debugging related windows such as Breakpoints and Command Window.
The File, Edit, View, Tools, Window, and Help menus are always available.
The Project menu is available when a project is open.
The XML menu is available when an XML file is open.
