Madame Monet's red cape draws the viewer's attention beyond the glass of the French doors capturing her glance, a brief moment frozen in time. This painting was very special to Monet and he kept it with him for his entire life.
This painting depicts Monet's first wife, Camille, outside on a snowy day passing by the French doors of their home at Argenteuil. Her face is rendered in a radically bold Impressionist technique of mere daubs of paint quickly applied, just as the snow and trees are defined by broad, broken strokes of pure white and green.

The Artist, Claude Monet
Monet's Painting Technique
Reworking the Composition
Claude Monet spent his youth in Le Havre in Normandy, where his father worked as a wholesale grocer. By the age of sixteen, he had exhibited some of his caricatures in an art supply store, leading to his acquaintance with Boudin (q.v.). It was Boudin who first encouraged him to paint out of doors. In 1859 Monet traveled to Paris, where he saw Boudin's salon debut and met Constant Troyon (1810-1865). A year later he joined the Académie Suisse, where he was introduced to Pissarro (q.v.), but his studies were interrupted in 1861 when he was drafted for a seven-year stint in the military. His family would pay for his release from military duties only if he gave up painting. Finding this unacceptable, Monet served for one year in Algeria before an early return to France to convalesce after a severe illness. In 1862 he met Jongkind (q.v.), another important influence on the young painter's development. Monet's father then allowed him to pursue his art career in Paris, where he entered the studio of the Swiss painter Charles Gleyre (1806-1874). He studied with Gleyre until 1864 and befriended Frédéric Bazille (1841-1870), Renoir (q.v.), and Sisley (q.v.), with whom he painted in the forest of Fontainebleau (Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1865, two fragments in Musée d'Orsay, Paris). Monet first exhibited at the Salon of 1865 and would do so again in 1866, 1868, and 1880. In 1868 he shared a studio with Bazille and Renoir but was soon forced to leave Paris to escape his creditors. He took his mistress, Camille Doncieux, and their son, Jean, to Fécamp, then Étretat, and finally Saint-Michel. There Renoir provided hospitality, and the two also painted at the boating and bathing center of La Grenouillère on the Seine. In 1870 Monet married Camille and, to escape the Franco-Prussian War, left for London, where he remained for nine months and met Durand-Ruel, his first dealer. In the summer of 1871 he visited the Netherlands and then settled in Argenteuil, to the west of Paris. He converted a boat into a studio, as Daubigny (q.v.) had done before him, allowing him to explore different viewpoints for his landscapes. He assisted in the organization of the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874, partly because Durand-Ruel's worsened business situation had prevented the dealer from buying his art. The following year he participated in the Hôtel Drouot sale with Morisot (q.v.), Renoir, and Sisley. In 1878 Monet and his wife moved to Vétheuil with the Hoschedés, who had previously commissioned some works. Camille died the following year, and, while Ernest Hoschedé spent most of his time in Paris trying to settle his precarious financial situation, Monet stayed behind with Ernest's wife, Alice. In 1881 he moved with her and her children to Poissy and within two years was living at Giverny, where he would remain for the rest of his life. He painted some of his famous scenes-the haystack and poplar series, for example- in 1890-91. Ernest Hoschedé died in 1891, and Monet married Alice the following year. At Giverny, Monet explored the themes of his garden and water lilies. He continued to travel, going to Norway in 1895, making three trips to London from 1899 through 1901, and taking Alice to Venice in 1908. The final years of his life were mainly spent working on his Great Decorations, large paintings of a water lily pond designed for two oval rooms at the Paris Orangerie. Monet is generally considered the most typical exponent of impressionism.

About a month ago, we decided to take a break from Oahu and make our way to Kauai. It was a great weekend to get away and just enjoy life on another island. We got a chance to spend time with family and check out the cool sites to see on Kauai. Here are a few shots on our drive up to the north where we got a chance to visit the wet and drive caves.
I enjoy the character of each island. Kauai has this air of relaxation wherever you go. I love checking out the beaches there, so serene and peaceful.
We got a chance to check out the newly renovated Kilauea light house and listen to its significant story.
We also got a chance to check out one of my favorite local brands of coffee, Kauai Coffee Company and take a tour of their farm as well as go coffee tasting.
And best of all, we got a chance to taste some of the local cuisine at a few popular eateries. Many Kauai restaurants are incorporating locally grown produce in their dishes.
Hope you enjoy these snap shots of Kauai.

Routes into Teaching
Useful Links & Downloads
Key Strengths & Priorities
Government Education website
Most topics regarding Initial Teacher Training (ITT) can be found via a search from: www.education.gov.uk
Department for Education (DfE)
Prior to the end of March 2018, the National College for Teaching & Leadership (NCTL) were responsible to the Department for Education (DfE) for overseeing Initial Teacher Training (ITT), after which the majority of their responsibilities and functions were taken back into the direct control of the DfE.
Applicants starting ITT training courses need to pass the tests (Numeracy & Literacy) before starting their course.
How to apply for Teacher Training
For a places on the 2019-20 cohort of trainees, applications to apply for School Direct or SCITT places are to be made via the UCAS Application System, but to search for training places go to the DfE's new 'Find Postgraduate Teacher Training' system and search for 'Doncaster'
So . . . . 'Join the Revolution'.
. . . but BEFORE you apply . . . .
UCAS Introductory Video
The animation covers the key timings and explains what to expect during the application process, which may differ with the new DfE system but will be a 'rough guide'.
UCAS – Teacher Training Blog
Lead Schools
The Partnership's Lead Schools for School Direct are: Kirk Sandall Infant School (Primary) and Ridgewood School (Secondary).
Each Lead School represents an Alliance of other schools and academies in either Primary or Secondary phases and includes relevant Special Schools and PRUs.
School Direct places are available in some of the best Primary and Secondary schools in Doncaster on a one year full-time programme. Financial support is available throughout the training for eligible applicants. Successful completion of the programme will lead to the award of qualified teacher status (QTS), with or without the optional PGCE.
SCITT
School Centred Initial Teacher Training programmes are designed and delivered by groups of local schools and academies. Students spend more time training in the classroom, putting theory into practice and gaining confidence through increased contact with the school environment. Taught by experienced, practising teachers, and tailored towards student's needs, all SCITT courses lead to qualified teacher status (QTS), with or without the optional PGCE.
With the Doncaster IT Partnership, our SCITT & School Direct trainee teachers all experience exactly the same selection process and benefit from the same high quality training experiences within the same alliances of schools. There is no differentiation between the training programmes because our partner schools ARE the Partnership.
We're one of the founding members of the Teach Yorkshire network of schools-based ITT Providers – search Twitter – @Teach_Yorkshire, on Facebook or at TeachYorkshire.Com
We're also one of the five accredited ITT Providers involved in the South Yorkshire Futures – Partnerships for Attainment project, which is supported by the DfE.
QTS
Qualified teacher status (QTS) is the accreditation that enables successful trainees to teach in state-maintained and special schools in England and Wales. Trainee teachers must meet all aspects of the Teachers' Standards relevant to the award of QTS.
The DfE are currently reviewing QTS and the NQT Induction Standards, but until more information is made available as a consequence of this review we can only publish the current information.
Working with the University of Hull, our 2018-19 trainee teachers can progress through a programme of part-time study to Level 7 and to the award of PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate of Education), in addition to achieving Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
All training is delivered in Doncaster, with additional input and academic support provided by the University of Hull, delivered at both face-to-face workshops and via on-line support.
Whilst not required to teach in England & Wales, this academically based and internationally recognised teaching qualification underpins and enhances the QTS training.
Please note that due to Government contract regulations we are currently re-tendering for our PGCE provision for our 2019-20 cohort so it may be, on completion of this exercise, that we continue to work with the University of Hull or it may be another PGCE provider / university.
Masters (MA)
Once complete, Teachers can consider putting their PGCE's 60 Credits at Level 7 towards completing their full Masters (MA). Like most other universities, the University of Hull offers a number of MA programmes and most universities/colleges would accept the credits towards a relevant MA programme.
The School Experience Programme (SEP) gives prospective applicants for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) the opportunity to spend one or more observation days in school to gain an insight into the role and responsibilities of a teacher.
Eligible trainee teachers may be entitled to a bursary, grant funding or scholarship to support their training.
Student Loans Company
Tuition-fees required for training are paid via the Student Loans Company (SLC).
Return to Teaching
If you are already a qualified teacher who has been out of teaching for a while, but now want to return to the profession, then please find out what support you can get to help you or search for teaching vacancies on:

Ekam-Son Of Soil Completes 10 Years Of Release, Mandeep Benipal Shares Interesting Facts
By: Gurwinder | April 5, 2020
After the success of Hashar in 2008, Babbu Maan wanted to make an issue-based film. Written by the noted literary personality Master Tarlochan Singh, Hashar was a big hit at the box office. Seeing Babbu's interest Tarlochan Singh discussed a concept with him which was liked, worked upon, and the end result was Ekam - The Son of Soil. It was Babbu's Home Production.
Mandeep Benipal was an assistant director in Hashar whose working impressed Babbu Maan so much that he called him for Ekam and the film turned out to be the debut film for Mandeep Benipal as Director. Babbu was juggling between the shoot of Ekam, his stage shows, albums and singing for Hindi films as a playback singer at that time. So, it was Mandeep Benipal who had to look after other aspects of the film besides directing it.
We talked to Mandeep Benipal on the occasion of ten years of Ekam, which had released on 23rd April 2010. Here's what the man had to share:
It is a general perception that Babbu Maan pressurized film directors to work according to his ways. To this Mandeep says, "I would say it's more like giving suggestions. Since I had already worked with him in Hashar, I knew how to handle things. It was our mutual understanding and for me, the important thing was that his trust in me for doing justice to Ekam."
It was the debut film of the current star actress Mandy Takhar. Mandeep took auditions of the actress in Mumbai and was selected from amongst many girls. Apart from Babbu Maan & Mandy Takhar, the film had Bhagwant Maan, Amrik Gill, Binnu Dhillon, Mohitinder Bawa, Rupinder Rupi, Tarsem Paul, Surinder Rehal, Anita Shabdeesh, Ravinder Mand, Satwant Kaur, Garry Wariach, Davvy Singh, Sherry Uppal & Gurjit Singh in lead roles.
Ekam's music was done by Babbu Maan himself.
"There were many names that were being considered for the comical role but Bhagwant Maan came on board. He was more than happy to be a part of an issue-based film," said Benipal
Babbu Maan played the titular role of Ekam, a man who had returned from abroad and caught himself in a dysfunctional family, political conflicts, social turbulence, and love life. In order to get everything right, he had to take things in his hands. Though he succeeds to a level, his love life goes for a toss.
Ekam ended tragically though on a note of hope, similar to Hashar that had a very twisting climax.
Were there any differences in opinions on choosing the end of the film, Mandeep Benipal says, "No, actually we wanted to play safe. The film ends with hope. Ekam, though a revolutionary character, was also a law-abiding citizen. Had it been otherwise, it's message would have been lost."
The film was left at an open end, was there, or is there any plan of its sequel?
"When we were making it, we wanted to remain true to its final script and did not want to take it further. There was no trend of sequels at that time. As of now, there is no such planning."
Ekam's music was a hit, and it also got a good opening at the box office. "It was a big hit. Without getting into numbers, I would say that it was an even bigger success than Hashar," signed off Mandeep.
Ekam - The Son of Soil was the second hit of the year 2010, the first being Mel Karade Rabba. Ten years later if we look back at Ekam, one might find flaws in it. But let us remember it with respectability because of its social theme and the box office success it enjoyed.
Interesting Trivia about Ekam-The Son of Soil:
1. Since Ekam was about the issues of Punjab, Babbu Maan wanted to add the word 'Punjab' to the title.
2. Jazba was another title that was being considered.
3. Mandy Takhar made her Pollywood acting debut with Ekam - The Son Of Soil.
4. A special screening for some prominent personalities was organized in Chandigarh and Ludhiana few weeks before the film's release.
5. Film Director Aditiya Sood always claims that A Holi song presented in his film Oye Hoye Pyar Ho Gaya was the first of its kind in Punjabi Films, but Ekam had a Holi based satire song too.

6. Just a few months before Ekam's release, Babbu Maan got caught in a controversy over his album "Singh Better Than King's" song Ik Baba Nanak Si, which took a dig at the self-claimed god-men.
7. In 'Ik Baba Nanak Si', he used the word Audi stating that these godmen roam around in Audis. He later clarified that he only used a specific car's name as he had just got himself a new Audi but these godmen have far more expensive cars than him. His car was also shown in the film.
8.Most of the film was shot at Babbu Maan's village Khant and surrounding areas of Kharar & Chandigarh.
9. The other debutante leading lady of the film Mohitinder Bawa was the winner of the Miss Punjaban title. She did not appear in any other film and reportedly got married and settled in Canada.
10. Popular anchor and actor Gurjit Singh had a substantial part in the film. In terms of proper role, it was his debut film. Unlike his current turbaned look, Gurjit Singh had a hair cut in the film.
11. Ekam was delayed by a few weeks, it was planned for Vaisakhi weekend but released ten days later on 23rd April 2010.
12.It did not face any big competition from Hindi films on the day of its release, but a week before and after it's release, two big films Paathshaala & Houseful got released.
13. The film did not use a regular pattern of credits/numbering. Noted Writer/Actor Amrik Gill and Bhagwant Maan's name appeared before the leading man and leading lady in the credits.
14. Bhagwant Maan had expressed his desire to do something for the society during one of the film's press conferences. Almost a year later, he started his political career.
15. Noted writer Jass Grewal worked as an assistant in Ekam.

SL-RSA, 1st Test, SSC, Day Two
What a start to the captaincy by Ashwell Prince eh? His first day at the office could not have been worse: he failed with the bat, South Africa were bundled out for a record low and then his bowlers, after the illusionary success with the new ball, were pasted to all corners of the SSC!
The South African approach to Murali summed up the day: they allowed Sri Lanka to settle. They were tentative when they needed to be aggressive, arrogant and intense if they were to be able to knock Sri Lanka off their post-England high.

Now they have their backs firmly to the wall and Sri Lanka have taken the match away.

2 Russian Olympians banned in doping cases
AP Oct 28, 2019 at 12:13p ET
MOSCOW (AP) — Two Russian athletes have been banned for doping at past Olympics, though neither is still competing, the Russian track federation said Monday.
The federation said the Court of Arbitration for Sport handed a four-year ban to sprinter Yulia Gushchina and a two-year ban to long jumper Anna Klyashtornaya.
Gushchina was found to have used the banned steroid turinabol at the 2011 world championships and 2012 Olympics when her samples were retested using up-to-date methods. Guschina had already been stripped of relay medals from the 2008 and 2012 Games when teammates tested positive.
Klyashtornaya was banned for a turinabol violation from the 2012 Olympics, when she competed as Anna Nazarova.
Gushchina hasn't competed since 2016 and Klyashtornaya last competed in 2015.
CAS didn't respond to a request for comment.
The federation also added it had imposed a new four-year ban on a shot putter who violated a previous doping ban.
After being suspended in 2017, Olesya Sviridova was found to have been "repeatedly working as a judge and secretary" at regional competitions, the federation said.
Doping bans bar athletes from taking any part in sports events, including as a coach or official, but Russia has only a patchy record on enforcing those rules.

What you need to know about Georgia's runoff elections
The winner of the race for Georgia's governor seat has not been determined. Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp remain neck and neck. Abrams' campaign manager Lauren Groh Wargo said she wanted to wait for more votes to be counted. Kemp did not declare victory, but he said, "The math is on our side to win this election." If neither candidate gets at least 50% plus one vote, the race heads to a runoff on Dec. 4. Georgia has never had a general election runoff for governor.
Politics | Nov 12, 2018
By Kristina Torres
Will Georgia voters run to the polls Tuesday, or will almost-record-low turnout decide each party's nominee in key races statewide? Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the state's primary runoff elections, and there are still plenty of contests to make a difference. Here's what you need to know:
Before you go, find personalized sample ballots and your polling location on the secretary of state's "My Voter Page" website (www.mvp.sos.ga.gov). If you mailed in an absentee ballot, you can also check that site to see whether it has been received.
If you're already out, you can check the same information on the state's new "GA Votes" mobile apps. You can download the free apps for both Apple and Android operating systems using either the iTunes app store for an iPhone or iPad, or Google Play for Android.
Georgia requires voters to show photo identification when they vote in person. Approved forms of identification include a Georgia driver's license, even if it's expired; a state-issued voter identification card; a valid U.S. passport; and a valid U.S. military photo ID.
As a voter, you must stick with the party ballot you choose for the main primary (in other words, you can't cast a Democratic ballot in the main primary and then vote in a Republican runoff). However, if you did not vote in the primary or if you originally picked a nonpartisan ballot, you may still vote in the runoff and pick the party ballot of your choice.
If you see or experience problems, first contact your local elections office. If local officials can't help, the secretary of state's office has an online complaint form via the "elections" tab at www.sos.ga.gov. The office's voter fraud hot line is 877-725-9797.
EARLY VOTING TOTALS
Only about 3 percent of the state's roughly 5 million active voters cast ballots early for the runoff, leaving observers to predict final turnout on Election Day won't exceed the single digits or low teens. By contrast, almost 5 percent of voters cast ballots early two months ago during the regular primary, with final Election Day turnout of about 20 percent. The wrap on early voting for this year's runoff:
Number of ballots cast: 159,152
Number of ballots voted in person: 134,267
Number of mail-in ballots returned: 24,885
Number of mail-in ballots outstanding: 12,717
Number of ballots cast, Republican: 121,678
Number of ballots cast, Democratic: 36,677
Number of ballots cast, nonpartisan: 797


High strength and low cost carbon fibers (CFs) are needed for today's applicatio ns. A low cost and low molecular weight textile grade PAN is studied as the precursor polymer with CNT/ carbon nanofibers (CNFs) as the filler material to enhance the strength of the carbon fibers. Efforts by several researchers have shown that incorporation of CNTs into carbon fibers is a challenging task and only a small percent could be introduced successfully. Various concentrations of modified CNTs or CNFs are used as reinforceme nt and an effort to increase the percentage of CNTs or CNFs in PAN precursor is attempted. The tensile strength of the precursor fibers is 150 MPa for 3.2 wt% CNFs in 12 wt% PAN and 430 MPa for carbonized fibers of the same precursor. Compared to pristine PAN, the reinforcement resulted in 187% increase in strength and 74% increase in modulus.
Commercially available CNT yarns have shown that their tensile properties are much lower than the calculated values. Various characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile testing, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are used to investigate the morphology of the fibers/yarns. Structural analysis indicated relatively poor packing/ orientation of nanotubes compared to density of CNT and yarn axis, respectively. Possible approaches to further enhance the properties of CNT yarns are investigated. Some of these techniques demonstrated the increase in strength by more than 330 % and modulus by more than 360 %. These observed increases are due to enhanced packing and interaction between the nanotube bundles in the CNT yarn.

Uveitis Symptoms and Causes
Uveitis (u-vee-I-tis) of the eye is inflammation inside the eye, specifically affecting one or more of the three parts of the eye that make up the uvea.
The uvea consists of the iris, the ciliary body and the choroid. The choroid is sandwiched between the retina and the sclera. The retina is located at the inside wall of the eye and the sclera is the outer white part of the eye wall. The uvea provides blood flow to the deep layers of the retina.
The type of uveitis you have depends on which part or parts of the eye are inflamed:
Iritis (anterior uveitis) affects the front of your eye.
Cyclitis (intermediate uveitis) affects the ciliary body.
Choroiditis and retinitis (posterior uveitis) affect the back of your eye.
Diffuse uveitis (panuveitis) occurs when all layers of the uvea are inflamed.
Problems associated with uveitis are relatively under-appreciated by the general population and ophthalmologists alike. Few people realize, for example, that it the third leading cause of blindness in this country.
Uveitis warning signs often come on suddenly. Patients experience eye redness, pain and blurred vision. Symptoms often get worse very fast. It can affect one or both eyes and is most prevalent in people ages 20 to 50. It can also teenagers and children.
Although about sixty different things can cause uveitis, frequent causes are infection, injury, or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease. The causes are often hard to find. Uncovering the cause for a particular patient may be extremely tedious and costly. This discovery work is much more like the diagnostic work involved in internal medicine than like the typical work involved in the practice of ophthalmology. So patients may want to seek help at one of the several centers around the United States specializing in the care with patients with this potential blinding problem.
Signs, symptoms and characteristics include:
Dark, floating spots in your field of vision (floaters)
Decreased vision
In any of these conditions, the jelly-like material in the center of your eye (vitreous) can become inflamed and infiltrated with inflammatory cells.

Q: using onTap (Inkwell) to open/preview a Card
Im trying to use onTap in Inkwell to open/preview an existing Card but unsure how to do this, for now I just have it printing 'hello'

                      ),),
                    ),
                    onTap: (){
                      print('hello');
                    },
                  ),

            },
           ),
          ),
         ],
        ),

EDIT: I know how to do it using Full Screen Page thanks to the docs provided, how would I do this with a Dialog? Much appreciated

A: Over your onTap drawer item do this:
onTap: () {
   Navigator.pop(context);
   _showDialog(text: 'Index $index');
}

And use the following code to show a Dialog with the necessary text:
void _showDialog({@required String text}) {
    showDialog(
      context: context,
      barrierDismissible: false,
      builder: (context) {
        return Dialog(
          shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(4),
          ),
          elevation: 0,
          child: Padding(
            padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
              horizontal: 20,
              vertical: 10,
            ),
            child: IntrinsicWidth(
              child: IntrinsicHeight(
                child: Column(

How Cryptocurrencies Can Help Universal Basic Income to Become Reality?
Cryptocurrencies are changing the landscape of financial opportunities. Some of the good ideas had quite poor embodiment but they can flourish now with the help of cryptocurrencies. One of the best-known examples is international transactions that became much cheaper and faster with blockchain-based currencies. Today we are going to discuss the potential of cryptocurrencies in terms of deploying universal basic income programs.
What Is Universal Basic Income?
How Cryptocurrencies Can Help in Implementation of UBI?
For centuries universal basic income (or UBI) was nothing but a theoretical governmental program of periodical payments to the citizens regardless of their employment status and other conditions. The payments are supposed to be equal to or bigger than the poverty threshold. In contrast to welfare programs, UBI doesn't require any additional conditions from citizens in order to receive payments. One of the purposes of the basic income is fighting technological unemployment. More than that, this measure should help people focus on finding and improving their best skills instead of wasting time on random jobs in fear of poverty. The acceptance of UBI is viewed as a transition to a post-capitalist economic system which will provide people with more space for self-realization. Interestingly, the implementation of UBI may result in the inability of numerous companies with weak products or conditions of labor to attract new workers. From a larger perspective, it can lead to the extinction of useless and ineffective businesses. There are many theories on the amount of money distributed through the UBI payments, the source of this money, and so on but we will skip this as we are here to talk about the way cryptocurrencies expand horizons for unconditional basic income.
Thomas More mentioned a similar social-economic order in his fiction novel "Utopia" written back in 1516. The regular income for every citizen was discussed in the 18th century by political activists Thomas Paine and Thomas Spence. A prominent scientist, philosopher, and social activist as Bertrand Russell was advocating for basic income during the 20th century. Only in the late 20th century, the first persistent UBI-like program was finally started. It was launched in Alaska. In 1982 the state started to share a percentage of its oil industry profit with locals. The money (roughly from $1 to $2 thousand) is paid annually. In the XXI century, the citizens of Kenya, India, Finland, Namibia, and other countries were participating in the experimental UBI program.
The UBI skeptics think that money regularly paid for nothing, will lead people to lesser activity, problems with abusive substances, lack of motivation, and other evils. In 2016, in Switzerland, over 76% of the citizens voted against the inclusion of the UBI program to the constitution. However, the long-lasting experiments in different countries have shown that these doubts are far from reality. The basic income recipients began to feel more relaxed and happy. It helped them to develop their skills and useful habits. They were improving their education and the education of their children. Many of the experiment participants decided to find a better job instead of just spending the money they were getting thanks to taking part in the program. By some estimation, nearly two-thirds of Europeans now consider UBI to be a good idea. The economic disasters brought by the COVID-19 pandemic increased the social support for universal basic income in many countries.
The funds paid via the UBI programs should be backed this or that way. That's not an easy task for a fully decentralized network. Probably one will find the way for a decentralized network to sustain the value of periodical payments, but currently, it seems that cryptocurrencies that can be used for basic income should be issued and controlled by the governments. The reason is that UBI rather requires the rest characteristics of cryptocurrencies than decentralization.
First off, the national cryptocurrency will have a transparent ledger that can be easily audited but cannot be manipulated. The central authority or the smart contracts will be able to control the fair distribution of funds and prevent the attempts to steal or misuse the funds scheduled for UBI payments or sent as UBI payments. This will help to fight corruption, as well. The transactions can be tracked down, so the attempts to abuse the network can be too costly for the criminals. The currencies can be converted or accepted as payments in the numerous state or private organizations.
As the blockchain-based UBI network is automated it will easily adjust the size of each payment depending on the value of the national currency in certain locations. For instance, the capitals of the countries usually have higher prices than in provinces and UBI payments should correlate with this characteristic. Moreover, inflation causes a change in the value of the same amounts of money. The system should collect and analyze the economic data (including the buying behavior and consumption level) to recalculate and maintain the relevant buying ability of basic income. The system should consider that numerous non-citizens are doing much work for the countries. So they should be able to benefit from UBI, too. On the contrary, those citizens who left their country a long time ago and started receiving wealth abroad probably shouldn't get support from their country anymore. At least, until the attempt to go back or relocate somewhere else.
Blockchain platforms are praised because they eliminate the need for the middlemen and remove the costs associated with the intermediary. Just think how expansive it should be to collect, store, and process all the information mentioned above. In the past, we should have hired lots of paid specialists, rented offices, and so on. Now this work can be done by computers saving much time, space, work, and resources and avoiding human error. Roughly, 2/3 of costs needed to work with the data to provide the USA with adequate UBI can be saved if the blockchain-based solutions are used. The potential of cryptocurrencies as the means of the direct payments cannot be overestimated as we see how the US citizens are struggling to receive their stimulus checks proposed due to the unemployment caused by the pandemic. The old-fashioned excessively bureaucratized system proves its inefficiency. So it's time for cryptocurrencies to step into the arena.
Satoshi Nakamoto was working on a very specific product (Bitcoin) but we have already learned that its qualities were so innovative and universal that now blockchain can revolutionize so many aspects of human life and even serve the governments instead of opposing them. Obviously, the qualities of cryptocurrencies match the challenges that were making the task of creating realistic UBI models too complicated.
As several cryptocurrency-related companies already fight poverty and inequality, there is no doubt that universal basic income will become a focus for some of the crypto projects. Some developers already work on the products in this sphere although it's early to declare any impressive results. Probably this time, governments should use the cryptocurrency instrumentary to get things done.
P.S. Of course, there is room for the creation of a fully decentralized UBI model that doesn't depend on the state and banks, although currently achieving this seems to be nearly impossible.

Q: Unable to add columns in a particular table I am trying to add 4 columns on a table using the below command
alter table table_name
add
(column_1 number(4),
 column_2 varchar2(10),
 column_4 number(4),
 column_5 varchar2(10));

The table contains 18,057,945 records and has a BEFORE UPDATE trigger. The alter command gets stuck and returns after 2 hours with the below error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 216 bytes (kxsbbinfo,adl context curMsgBuf)

Note that I ran the same alter statement on 3 other tables which are basically snapshots of the same table with similar index,trigger etc. and it took around 0.06, 0.03,0.05 seconds to run the alter command.
I have checked other questions like this.. but it provides no insight on this particular challenge I am facing, and I have not added any not-null/default value in my alter statement. There are no locks on the table and also there is no active cursor as well on the given table...
Please advise. I have a test environment and a production environment. The funny thing is that the alter for this particular table is getting stuck and giving the same error in both the environments.
Please advise what I can check/do!! Thanks in advance.
I also analyzed/gather stats for this table in between tries to alter it!!!

Joint Strike Fighter: Secure investment
WHEN IT comes to military contracting, one person's "wasteful, duplicative" expense is another person's healthy competition.
In the case of funding a second engine maker for the next-generation F-35 fighter jet, opposition to the move flies in the face of recognized fighter engine history.
We encourage Georgia's congressional delegation to support the second engine, which is one of the most controversial and contentious items in the nation's military budget.
In the 1980s, Pratt & Whitney had the original contract to build F-15 and F-16 engines. But design deficiencies and a lack of spare parts required the grounding of a large portion of our fighter jet fleet - a move that weakened America's defense posture. In response, Congress funded a second engine maker, General Electric, to produce a competing engine.
Introducing a competitor into the market spurred both companies to build a better product.
The result was a supply of engines that were cheaper to buy, longer lasting and more reliable. Over 20 years, the competition saved taxpayers billions.
Now, fast forward several decades, and leaders seem to be ignoring history only to repeat past blunders.
Pratt & Whitney has a contract to supply F-35 engines. But Congress has funded, for four years, development of a second engine built by General Electric - over the objections of President George W. Bush, President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Secretary Gates - and the Pratt & Whitney PR department - call the extra engine a waste of money. Indeed, a House subcommittee voted Tuesday to include $450 million for the second engine as part of the $681 billion defense spending bill. But that money will only be a waste if it is poorly spent.
On this point, consider the F-35: The fighter jet intended for use by all branches of the military for the next 30 years is designed with a single engine. Not two.
Pratt & Whitney says its engine is performing beautifully. However, that's before the engine has undergone years of actual use under varied conditions. Should that engine develop a major glitch, the military would have no choice but to again ground its fighter fleet. Pilots can't fly home on the other engine when there is no other engine.
Having part of the fleet powered by an engine designed by a different maker means at least some of the jets could stay aloft if the Pratt engine develops problems.
Apart from safety issues are the continued cost-saving aspects of competition. U.S. Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., the ranking Republican on the House subcommittee that approved the expense, believes that spending a little money today will save a great deal in the future. Figures from the nonpartisan General Accounting Office support that claim.
The GAO says the competitive arrangement will save $20 billion over the 30-year span of the Joint Strike Fighter program. Savings like that make the second engine a secure investment.
The budgeting process does not end with the subcommittee vote. The House military spending plan must now be reconciled with the Senate version, which does not include funding for the second engine.
Georgia Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss should get on board with the fighter jet competition, despite a threatened veto by the president. When it comes to fighter pilot safety and safeguarding taxpayer dollars, Congress should not bow to presidential threats and intimidation.


Half beautiful woman and half goat, the Glaistig is a mythological creature of Scotland and Wales who was by some legends malevolent (seducing men into dancing with her, then sucking their blood) and by some benevolent (a guardian of cattle or children). She wore a long green robe to conceal her goat parts. I imagine that she might also wear this hat to conceal her eyes (and her intentions).
Fits most adult female heads, 19-23" in circumference. The hat itself is very stretchy; plus you knit the ribbed band exactly to size. If your head is on the larger end of the range, you may want to go up a needle size (do not go up a size for the ribbed band, however). You can also make a child size by using one strand of the DK-weight Koigu Kersti (it comes in the same colors as KPM/KPPPM) and a size 5 or 6 needle.
Koigu KPM (solid) or KPPPM (variegated) [100% merino wool, 175yd/160m per 1.75oz/50g skein]; 2 skeins in the color(s) of your choice. Hat shown uses two skeins of KPM in light green (#2349). I find it also looks good in 2 contrasting solids, or with one variegated skein and one coordinating solid skein.
A strand from each skien is held together throughout.
This hat is knit bottom-up in the round. In the transition from brim to crown, yarnovers are spaced evenly around the hat to create eyelets. The ribbed band is knit to size, then woven through the eyelets and buttoned closed to ensure a perfect fit.
The stitch pattern is reversible, should a matching scarf be desired. The edges of the scarf will be wavy; if this is unacceptable, add 4 stitches in k1, p1 rib to each side of the scarf.
I used the alternate cable cast-on, which is best described in The Reader's Digest Knitter's Handbook (ISBN:0762102489). I find this technique is much easier and faster than the tubular cast-on, but looks nearly identical.
FC (front cable): Slip 4 stitches to cable needle and hold to front, (k1, p1) twice from left needle, (k1, p1) twice from cable needle.
BC (back cable): Slip 4 stitches to cable needle and hold to back, (k1, p1) twice from left needle, (k1, p1) twice from cable needle.
HBC (half back cable): Slip 2 stitches to cable needle and hold to back, (k1, p1) from left needle, (k1, p1) from cable needle.
P2tog: purl the next two stitches together.
SSK: Slip two stitches knitwise, return them to left needle, and knit them together through their back loops.
Dec2: slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit two stitches together, pass slipped stitch over the two stitches that were knit together.
MB: (K1, YO, k1, YO, k1) into next stitch, and turn work. P5, turn work. SSK, k1, k2tog, turn work. P3, turn work, dec2.
Worked over a multiple of 12 stitches.
Rounds 1-7: *K1, p1, repeat from * around.
Round 8: *FC, (k1, p1) twice, repeat from * around.
Rounds 9-15: *K1, p1, repeat from * around.
Round 16: *(K1, p1) twice, BC, repeat from * around.
Repeat rounds 1-16 for pattern.
Row 1 (RS): (K1, p1) twice, k1.
Row 2 (WS): Slip 1 stitch purlwise, k1, p1, k1, slip 1 stitch purlwise.
Work eyelet round: *k1, p1, k1, p1, YO, p2tog, repeat from * around.
Round 2: *SSK, p1, (k1, p1) 4 times, repeat from * around. (80 stitches remain.).
Cut yarn, leaving an 8" long (or longer) tail. Thread yarn onto a tapestry needle. Draw the yarn tail through the remaining stitches twice, and pull tight to close. Weave in ends.
Using straight needles or dpn's and 2 strands of yarn held together, cast on 5 stitches.
Work 6 rows in Band Pattern.
Work eyelet row: K1, p1, YO, p2tog, K1.
Continue working in Band Pattern, starting with Row 2. Work until the working edge of the band touches the eyelet when band is stretched comfortably around the head, ending on Row 2 of the pattern.
Work bobble row: K1, p1, MB, p1, k1.
Work row 2 of Band Pattern, working all three central stitches through their back loops (this keeps the bobble from waggling around). Work 4 more rows in Band Pattern (starting with Row 1), and bind off all stitches in pattern. Weave in ends.
Weave band through the eyelets in the hat, so that the bobble is facing out. Push the bobble through the band's eyelet to close.


Salvete carissimi lectori, it's Aelius Rufus again. Gabriele told me I should tell you a bit about the Limes fort in Aalen since that's from my time.
Gabriele has also added two maps about the Limes to her post with Roman maps so our dear readers won't get lost in the German forests.
The German Limes, or as it's usually called, Upper German-Raetian Limes (Obergermanisch-Rätischer Limes) has a few things in common with Hadrian's Wall where my friend Gaius Fannius lives.
After Gabriele's ancestors had kicked the Romans out in the aftermath of the Varus battle, the Rhine in the west and the Danube in the north remained the borders of the Roman Empire. But her ancestors kept to that bad habit of crossing the Rhine, looking for shinies and cattle in the hinterland, so the Emperor Domitian (AD 83) pushed them back a bit further and established a road along the Neckar river and across the Swabian Alp from Moguntiacum at the Rhine to Augusta Vindelicum (Augsburg) at the Danube. That road was protected by watch towers and some forts were built. It was the same time when Domitian's general Agricola took a closer look at those tribes in the mountains of Caledonia who didn't leave the Romans alone, either. Only he got his big battle while Domitian didn't, because the German tribes knew better than to face the Roman army in a pitched battle.
At the same time the deified Hadrian decided to set the border between Romans and barbarians at the line now known as Hadrian's Wall, the emperor also proclaimed the fortified roads that cut from the Rhine to the Danube as border between the Romans and Gabriele's ancestors. But our dear Tony isn't content with those borders, so he pushed further into Caledonia with the Antonine Wall, and expanded the Limes border a bit east and north (AD 150/155). The fort at Osterburken dates to that time, as does the cavalry fort in Aalen.
Aalen was the main seat of the military administration of Raetia from about AD 150 until the fall of the Limes in the 250ies, and garrison of the Ala II Flavia pia fidelis milliaria. Its praefect also was the second in command of the entire province. No wonder they got such a big headquarter building.
The fort in Aalen is quite a sight, I can tell you. With 277x214 metres it covers an area of ~6 hectares. It is surrounded by no less than four trenches. I'm glad I wasn't there for the digging. The fort as I've seen it has mostly buildings of timber or half-timbered walls on stone foundations, but Marc Aurel had most of it rebuilt in stone in about AD 170. Else it shows the usual pattern with walls, double-gates on each side and towers in the corners.
Gabriele says not much is left of those today, only the foundations of two of the gates and a bit of one of the trenches. Those stone filching locals from the future again, is my guess. Another remaining feature are the foundations of the principia, and excavations have shown the site of some of the barracks and granaries.
Today, one third of the fort lies under the old cemetery, another third is covered by houses, though when the first digs were made by the Reichlimeskommission in the 19th century, some of that space was still fields. Yeah, after the wars, building houses was more important than preserving the foundations of some Roman walls and barracks. The buildings usually found outside a fort, like the vicus settlement south of the fort and the baths are covered by houses as well.
Luckily for Gabriele and other Roman ... what does she call them, geeks? the foundations of the principia were never built over but made accessible for the public in the 1980ies. A museum has been around since 1964 and was recently modernised.
The fun bit, Gabriele tells me, is the partly reconstructed garrison barrack from 2005. Since it was a cavalry fort, those looked a bit different from the infantry barrack reconstructions you can find in Arbeia or Caerleon (where only the interior is shown). She should be able to time travel into the past and look at the fort in Aalen during the time of its splendour, when I visited the place.
Several sources say that an ala milliaria (a unit of 1,000) had 24 turmae of 32 men, but that would only bring it to 768 men. Well, I counted and Gabriele checked more sources*. We got another, more realistic number: 24 turmae of 42 men, that makes 1,008, not counting the decurions who lead the units (same as centurions for the footsloggers). The fort in Heidenheim where the Ala II Flavia had been stationed before moving to Aalen shows a size and number of barracks that would house a thousand.
They got a lot of horses, too. One of those research guys estimated a minimum of 1,200, but there may have been as many as 1,900 because of the need of extra horses as remounts and packhorses. You'll understand that I didn't count them.
When you compare the reconstructed barrack part with the sketch of the fort layout Gabriele caught with her little picture box, you'll notice those barracks were a lot bigger. Well, there's no space to set up a full one, and I suspect no money either. Some things never change. The reconstructed barrack sits in the wrong spot, too, at my time there were two agricultural buildings, a magazine and a workshop for repairing horse stuff.
Since the barracks are under the cemetery and they won't dig up the bodies and make their ghosts angry, the fort in Heidenheim / Aquileia was used as foil for the reconstruction. The Ala II Flavia milliaria had been stationed there prior to moving to Aalen, and the Romans, practical lot that they are, dismantled the barracks and moved the parts, much like a prefabricated house in the future.
The barracks in Heidenheim had been constructed of timber or in half-timbered style. Excavations in 2000-2004 showed the foundation groves and post holes of seven barracks. The results from the digs and surveys in both forts made it possible to reconstruct the ideal layout of a cavalry fort for an ala milliaria. It's the only way for the people from the future, though Gabriele sometimes mutters about how time travel would make research so much easier as long as you stayed out of the actual battles. I won't be surprised if she tried to bring one of those aviation machine thingies for that.
So we get 24 barracks - most of them combined to double barracks - with 13 rooms plus stables. Tacitus had no reason to be snarky about the Germans living in the same house with their cattle; the Roman soldiers do pretty much the same. That wattle and daub wall between living rooms (papiliones) and stables (stabula) doesn't keep the smell out, I can tell you. And there's always someone walking into the living room with his horse pooped sandals. But the advantage is that the guys got their mounts real close in case they had to go on an urgent mission.
The horse lads do have more space. 3 to 4 share a room of about 20 square metres, instead of our 15 square metres plus anteroom for eight men, and their rooms have a second storey. Each double barrack was about 80 metres long and 18 metres wide. The individuals stables could house 3 to 4 horses. Extra horses were kept in additional stables.
The bad thing about timber is that it's seldom preserved for those archaeologists from the future, but they can make some guesswork from post holes and such, like the basilica structure of the barracks.
The upper storey may have been supported by extra posts and crossbeams as in the reconstructed barrack, but one can't be sure whether the upper floor was a full storey or more like a gallery or loft. That the upper floor was used for sleeping is an assumption of course, it could also have been used for storage - those horses need a lot of fodder.
The inner walls were half timbered with loam-covered wickerwork and roughcast, while the outer walls may have been a plank construction. All units were prepared in a way that they could be moved around. During summer, the front planks of the stables could be taken out so that they would be open towards the porch.
The roofs were covered by wooden shingles, and remains of glass point at glassed windows and transoms lights. A nice luxury in the German climate. Each papilio had a fireplace / stove facing the stable wall, probably made of bricks, with a brick or timber chimney taking the smoke out through the roof of the upper floor.
Those barracks used up a lot of wood. Mostly oak, but then, the German forests had a lot of those in my time. All the barracks in Aalen together would have used some 3,000 oak and about 400 pine trees.
there would have been planks to add that second floor.
The decurios (decuriones), the commanders of a turma, got their own rooms, of course. A hundred square metres and a second floor. Though I have to be honest; the ground floor rooms were partly taken up by offices - tables and shelves - and I don't envy them the paperwork. They also had to make space for slaves. Hey, that's still more than I got for a flat, says Gabriele. And I have too many books; I could do with some more shelves.
The double barracks had living quarters for the decurios at one side, and for the lieutenants, the duplicarii at the other. They got some colour on their walls and their own loos. Though they still had to use the shared baths, heh.
We know for sure that the Ala II Flavia pia fidelis milliaria was garrisoned in Heidenheim from AD 90/110* and moved to Aalen in AD 155/60 where it stayed until the midst of the 3rd century. But where the ala comes from is more difficult to trace. The name 'Flavia' points at an assembling under Vespasian (AD 70-79) or his sons (Titus AD 79-81, Domitian AD 81-96). The earliest mention is on a military diploma from AD 86 where it already got its full name pia fidelis milliaria. It is possible that the unit was created in the aftermath of the Batavian rebellion in AD 70; that would make it the oldest ala milliaria we know of.
Another scenario is that the basis of the unit was the Ala II Flavia Gemina stationed in Germania Superior which indeed was assembled after the rebellion but disappears from military diplomas before AD 90. It could have been expanded to 1,000 men, renamed and deployed to Raetia. The byname pia fidelis - pious and faithful - points at some special distinction; possibly during Domitian's war against the German tribe of the Chatti AD 83-85. But that doesn't solve the problem whether it was newly created then or expanded from the Ala Flavia Gemina.
An 'Ala II Flavia' can be traced in the fort at Günzburg (Gontia) at the Danube in AD 78 due to tile stamps, but it is not clear if that is the old Gemina (à 500 men) or the ala II Flavia milliaria. I think the most likely scenario is that of the expanded Gemina which was then moved to Heidenheim under the new name.
It definitely is a special troop, Aelius Rufus grins. And it got special, big headquarters for another post.
* The number of 24 turmae à 42 men comes from Junkelmann.
* Kemkes/Scholz date the move to Heidenheim to AD 110 while Junkelmann dates it to AD 90. I agree with Junkelmann because it coincides with the disappearance of the Ala Gemina from the documents.
What a fabulous place to visit! Would like to visit a place like that myself.
Anerje, the Roman remains in Germany are fun places to visit. But the UK got some nice sites, too.
Thanks for the tour, Aelius Rufus. It helps clarify the differences between infantry and cavalry barracks. 1900 is a lot of horses. How did they feed them all? Did the civilians grow and gather fodder, the army, or a combination?
Thanks for yet one more fascinating post, Gabriele! The Romans with their buildings and organised army were born to conquer :-)Poor Germans and other tribes... They didn't stand a chance, did they?
Kasia, actually the Romans didn't have that much luck conquering the Germans. First Arminius kicked them out (not only at the Teutoburg Forest but in some later battles that turned out too costly for the Romans, so they withdrew in AD 16), and even the Limes was overrun in the 260ies and the Romans withdrew to the Rhine and Danube again. One emperor, Maximinius Thrax, campaigned deep in Germania (battlefield at Kalefeld) but while he probably was victorius there, he failed to actually conquer anything. The Romans never stayed put in Germania Magna.
