The Sanctum Suites Apartment Hotels are just what they sound – furnished apartments with great room service! They are present at two great locations in Bangalore – at Whitefield and in the BEL road. Given the luxurious rooms with amenities such as complimentary breakfast, Wi-Fi, laundry services, television, a mini-kitchen, etc. coupled with the great locations close to the very happening tech parks, the suites are always booked!
Keeping up a track record of customer satisfaction with an eye on the revenue became particularly difficult for the hotel administration, especially with outdated hotel management systems. In case of power outages, the minute lapse of time between the electric appliances going off and restarting with the power from the generators sometimes resulted in a loss of data, because the servers hadn't backed up the most recent data.
With repeated hotel bookings and customers requesting for more rooms and expansion of the hotel, space was also becoming an issue.
How the Sanctum Suites got these tiny issues fixed?
The administration took it upon themselves to follow the latest trend in hotel technology: cloud-based systems for hotel management. They approached InSwiGo, upon a recommendation from a customer who cited it to be one of the best website development company in Lausanne. With our help, they set up a system that proved advantageous in the following ways.
Since a cloud-based hotel management system only requires on the computer and a strong internet connection, the Sanctum Suites were able to convert the extra space previously occupied by the IT infrastructure into beautiful and habitable rooms.
Frequent updates in the software of the traditional management systems were avoided by setting up a cloud-based hotel management system.
Since it requires just one computer, maintenance, as well as the costs it incurs, were greatly reduced.
All functions required by the hotel administration could now be performed with just one platform. Every staff personnel is given access to only the required functions based on their position with respect to the hierarchy based on security clearance.
The platform could now be accessed from anywhere, a mobile phone, tablet, etc.
By setting up a cloud-based hotel management system, The Sanctum Suites Apartment Hotels made it very easy for their administration to manage the hotel. Cloud-based systems have seeped into all industries, so why not hotels? Cost-effective, easy-to-use and risk-free solutions to hotel management, cloud-based systems are here to stay.

Q: Where do I ask a question about programming macros in Word? Programming suggests SO, but Word Macros suggest SuperUser.
I want to make some custom dialog boxes that would display specific content on a click in a word doc--think of a hyperlink that opens a dialog box instead of a web page--and need to ask some questions. Would that fall more into a programming or a superuser question?

A: If the question involves code and writing code, it belongs on Stack Overflow.
If it is a generic question about using Macros and general information about programming macros (without any code), then Super User could indeed be the right site.

David Bruce: William Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW: A Retelling in Prose — Act 4, Scene 1
Posted on March 7, 2019	by davidbruceblog
— 4.1 —
Grumio entered Petruchio's house in Verona and said, "Damn all weak and ill-conditioned horses! Damn all mad masters! Damn all bad roads! Was ever a man as beaten as I am? Was ever a man so dirty? Was ever a man so tired? I have been sent ahead of my master and his wife to make a fire; they will soon be here and will need to warm themselves. I am freezing, although I am a little pot and soon hot — although I am short, I get angry quickly and so warm up. If this were not true, I am so cold that my lips might freeze to my teeth and mytongue might freeze to the roof of my mouth, and my heart might freeze in mychest before I should come by a fire to thaw me. I will warm myself by fanning the embers. It is a good thing that I am short — a taller man than I am would catch cold."
With a voice that quivered because he was shivering, Grumio shouted for a servant, "Curtis!"
Curtis walked into the room and asked, "Who is it who calls so coldly?"
"A piece of ice," Grumio replied, "If you doubt that I am a piece of ice, you may slide from my shoulder to my heel with no greater a running start than my head and my neck. Start a fire, good Curtis."
"Are my master and his wife coming, Grumio?"
"Yes, Curtis, yes, and therefore start a fire. An old song says, 'Scotland's burning … Fire, fire! Cast on water,' but throw no water on this fire because I need it badly to keep from freezing."
Curtis started making a fire in a fireplace.
"Is my master's wife as hot a shrew as she's reported to be?" Curtis asked.
"She was, good Curtis, before this frost," Grumio replied, "but, as you know, winter tames man, woman, and beast. It has tamed my old master and my new mistress and myself, fellow Curtis."
"You may be a beast, but I am not," Curtis said. "Do not call me your fellow since you have just admitted that you are a beast. Go away, you three-inch fool!"
"Is what is mine only three inches long?" Grumio said, "Why, the horn on your head that identifies you as a man with an unfaithful wife is a foot long. What I have between my legs is at least that long. But will you make a fire, or shall I complain about you to our mistress, whose hand, now that she is close at hand, you shall soon feel, to your cold comfort, for being slow in your hot office? Do your job, and make a fire."
"Good Grumio, tell me, how goes the world? What's the news?"
"The world is cold," Grumio said, "for everyone but you, who has the job of making fires, so do your duty, and take what is due to you, because my master and mistress are almost frozen to death. Petruchio and Katherina are, like me, cold."
"The fire is ready," Curtis said. "Therefore, Grumio, tell me the news."
Grumio sang, "Jack, boy! Ho, boy!"
Then he added, "Before I can tell you anything, the news must thaw."
"Come, you are so full of trickery! You must be a master at trapping rabbits!"
"Make the fire bigger because I have caught extreme cold," Grumio said. "Where's the cook? Is supper ready? Is the housetidied? Are the rushes strewn on the floor? Are the cobwebs swept away? Are theserving men wearing their new livery and their whitestockings? Does every upper servant have his wedding token on?Are all the male and female servants ready and the big and little glasses, too? Are the tablecloths on the tables, and is everything in order?"
"All is ready; and therefore, please, please tell me the news. What happened during your journey?"
"First, know that my horse is tired," Grumio said, "and know that my master and mistress have fallen out."
"They have fallen out of their saddles into the dirt; and thereby hangs a tale."
"Let us hear the tale, good Grumio."
"Lend me your ear."
"Here it is," Curtis said, inclining an ear toward Grumio, who hit it.
"You are making me feel a tale, not hear a tale," Curtis said.
"And therefore it is called a sensible tale because you are able to sense it," Grumio said. "I knocked at your ear to wake it up and beg it to listen. Now I begin my tale: Imprimis— that is legal talk for 'first of all' — we came down a foul hill, my master, Petruchio, riding behind my mistress, Katherina."
"Were both riding on one horse?"
"Why, the difference of a horse."
"You should tell the tale since you are going to keep interrupting," Grumio said. "If you had not interrupted me, you would have heard how Katherina's horse fell and she fell under her horse. You would have heard in how muddy a place she fell, how she was covered in mud, how he left her with the horse over her, how he beat mebecause herhorse stumbled, how she waded through the dirt to pluck him off me, how he swore, how she prayed — this woman who never prayed before — how I cried, how the horses ran away, how her bridle was broken, how I lost my crupper — that strap that goes under the horse's tail and keeps the saddle steady — with many other things worth recording, which now shall die in oblivion due to being untold, resulting in you returning unenlightened to your grave."
"According to your tale, Petruchio is more of a shrew than his wife."
"Yes, he is," Grumio said, "and you and the proudest of you all shall find that to be true when he comes home. But why am I talking about this? Call forth Nathaniel, Joseph, Nicholas, Philip, Walter, Sugarsop, and the rest. Let their heads be sleekly combed, their servants' blue coats brushed, and their garters be matched. Let them curtsy with their left legs and not presume to touch a hair of my master's horse's tail until they have kissed their master's and their mistress' hands in greeting. Are they all ready?"
"Call them forth."
Curtis shouted, "Did you hear?"
Some servants were eavesdropping.
Curtis shouted, "You must meet my master to countenance — to pay respect to — my mistress."
"To countenance?" Grumio, who was always willing and happy to deliberately misinterpret words, said. "Why, she has a face of her own."
"Who does not know that?"
"Apparently, you — you are the one calling for company to countenance her."
"I call them forth to credit her — to pay respect to her, to honor her," Curtis said.
"To credit her? Why, she has not come to borrow something from them."
Some servants entered the room.
Nathaniel said, "Welcome home, Grumio!"
Philip asked, "How are you, Grumio?"
Joseph said, "Hey, Grumio!"
Nicholas said, "Grumio, my friend!"
Nathaniel asked, "How are you, old lad?"
Grumio said to the four servants, "Welcome, you … how are you now? … hey, you … my friend, you."
Then he added, "So much for my greetings. Now, my fine fellows, is everything ready, and are all things tidy?"
Nathaniel replied, "All things are ready. How near is our master?"
"Very close indeed," Grumio said. "By this time, he has dismounted. Therefore, you must — quiet! I hear him coming!"
Petruchio and Katherina entered the room. Katherina went directly to the fire.
"Where are these knaves?" Petruchio shouted. "What, no servant at my door to hold my stirrup or to take my horse! Where are Nathaniel, Gregory, Philip?"
Nathaniel said, "Here, sir."
Gregory said, "Here, sir."
Philip said, "Here, sir."
Petruchio shouted, "Here, sir! Here, sir! Here, sir! You logger-headed and unpolished servants! What, you can't be bothered to show up to do your work? You can't be bothered to show respect to me? You can't be bothered to obey me? Will no one do his duty? Where is the foolish knave I sent here before me?"
Grumio replied, "Here I am, sir — I am just as foolish as I was before."
Petruchio shouted at him, "You peasant country bumpkin! You son of a whore! You are as much of a mindless drudge as a horse that turns a treadmill to grind barley to make malt! Did I not order you to meet me outside and bring along these rascal knaves with you?"
Grumio replied with several ridiculous excuses: "Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made. Gabriel's shoes needed to be repaired. Peter's hat was not darkened because no smoky torch could be found. Walter had not yet found a sheath for his dagger. No one was properly dressed except for Adam, Ralph, and Gregory. All the rest were ragged, old, and beggarly. Yet, dressed as they are, they have come here to meet you."
Petruchio said, "Go, rascals, go, and fetch my supper."
The servants exited.
Petruchio sang, "Where is the life that late I led —"
He stopped singing and began to say, "Where are those —"
Then he interrupted himself and said, "Sit down, Kate, and welcome."
He began to bang on the table and shout, "Food! Food! Food! Food!"
The servants arrived with the meal and began to place it on a serving table near the dining table at which Petruchio and Katherina were sitting.
Petruchio shouted at the servants, "Hurry!"
He said to his wife, "Don't look sad, Kate. Be merry."
To the servants, he shouted, "Take off my boots! Hurry!"
Part of Petruchio's plan was to outshrew the shrew and by so doing show her how her shrewish and inconsiderate actions affected other people. This part of his plan was succeeding.
He sang, "It was the friar of orders grey,
"As he walked forth on his way—"
He shouted at a servant who was trying to pull off one of his boots, "Get out, rogue! You are twisting my ankle! You better do a better job with the other boot! Take that!"
He hit the servant.
He said, "Be merry, Kate."
He shouted, "Bring some water here!
"Where's Troilus, my cocker spaniel?
"Get you hence, and order my cousin Ferdinand to come hither. He is one, Kate, whom you must kiss, and be acquainted with.
"Where are my slippers?
"Bring me some water!"
A servant entered, carrying water.
Petruchio said, "Come, Kate, and wash your hands, and welcome heartily."
The servant dropped the water, and Petruchio shouted, "You son of a whore! You villain! Will you let it fall?"
Petruchio hit the servant who had dropped the water.
"Have patience, please," Katherina said. "He did not do it on purpose."
Katherina was learning about kindness and forgiveness and about feeling sympathy for other people. She was learning how shrewish behavior affected other people.
Petruchio said, "He is the son of a whore! He is a beetle-headed, flap-eared knave!"
He added, "Come, Kate, sit down. I know that you are hungry. Will you give thanks to God, sweet Kate; or else shall I?"
He asked a servant, "What is this? Mutton?"
The servant replied, "Yes."
"Who brought it?"
The servant Peter replied, "I did."
"This mutton is burnt, and so is all the food. What dogs are these servants! Where is the rascal cook? How dare you, villains, bring this food and serve it like this to me who hates burnt mutton and burnt food! Take it away!"
He swept the food and the dishes off the table and shouted, "You heedless joltheads and unmannered slaves! What, are you servants grumbling and complaining? I'll set you straight right away!"
"Please, husband," Katherina said. "The food was fine. You need not be so picky."
"I tell you, Kate, it was burnt and dried up, and I am expressly forbidden to touch it because overcooked food makes people hot-headed and angry. It is better that both of us fast rather than eat it because both of us have quick tempers. Be patient. Tomorrow this fault will be corrected, and we will have good food to eat. Tonight, however, both of us will go without food. Come, I will take you to your bridal chamber."
Petruchio and Katherina exited, and the servants began to talk.
Nathaniel asked, "Peter, did you ever see the like of that?"
"Petruchio is beating her at her game. She is hot-headed, but he is pretending to be even more hot-headed than she is. He is giving her a taste of her own medicine."
Curtis came into the room.
Grumio asked, "Where is Petruchio?"
Curtis replied, "He is in her bedchamber, talking to her about self-control. In his sermon to her, he shouts, and swears, and scolds, so that she, poor soul, does not know which way to stand, to look, or to speak. She sits dazed as if she has newly awakened from a dream."
Curtis heard a noise and said, "Let's go now! I hear Petruchio coming!"
The servants left quickly.
Petruchio walked into the room and started to think out loud:
"I have started my reign with cunning, and I hope that my carefully thought-out plan will succeed.
"We train falcons to obey their masters by keeping them very hungry, and I will keep Kate very hungry. I will not allow her to eat her fill until she fulfills the vow she made before God to love, honor, and obey me.
"To train a hawk, and have it obey the call of her master, the trainer must watch the hawk until it is trained. Untrained hawks will be enraged and will beat their wings in frustration and will not be obedient.
"Kate ate no food today, and I will not allow her to eat tonight. Last night she did not sleep, and tonight I will not allow her to sleep. I pretended to find fault with the food, and I will pretend to find fault with the bed. I will fling the pillow there, I will fling the cushion here, I will fling the coverlet this way, and I will fling the sheets another way.
"While I do these things, I will tell her that everything I do is done in reverend care of her — and that is true, if it gets rid of her shrewishness, as I intend it will.
"Kate shall stay awake all night. And if she begins to nod and go to sleep, I'll shout and brawl and with the clamor keep her always awake.
"This is a way to kill a wife with kindness.
"By doing these things, I will curb her mad and headstrong shrewishness. Once she is tamed, I will be a proper husband to her. I will love and cherish her. I do, already, although it may not seem like it.
"If anyone knows better how to tame a shrew, I want to hear from him his better way. His telling everyone the secret would be a service to the world."

Unidirectional Interfaith Statements
It's often subtle — and I certainly don't mean to discourage interaction between leaders of different religions — but it does seem as if the statements of unity all follow a, well, a non-objective narrative. After an apparently religiously inspired multiple murder, an act of terrorism, to be blunt, this was the message of the an interfaith press conference in Rhode Island:
The meeting came as a quick response to the shootings at Fort Hood, which authorities have attributed to Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, 39, a Muslim psychiatrist on the Texas base.
The Rev. Dr. Donald C. Anderson, executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, said that the reason for this meeting was to stop placing blame on the entire Muslim community.
"It was our concern to step forward in a proactive way and make a statement about our unity together as people of faith and just let the Islamic community know that they are not standing alone," said Rev. Anderson. "It is our prayer that in response to this tragedy we will increase our efforts to live together in peace and understanding."
"Any reasonable conscious person," Imam Farid Ansari assured the media, "would know that these type of unconscionable acts was not something that has anything to do whatsoever with the religion of Islam."
Not quite a year later, a small-time Christian minister in Florida threatens to burn a Koran, and here's the message from the same folks in Rhode Island:
The Rev. Donald C. Anderson, executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, said that even if the Rev. Terry Jones has cancelled the book burning, apparently on the understanding that proponents of a planned Islamic Center in New York will move the proposed facility farther away from ground zero, Mr. Anderson strongly believes that Rhode Island's religious leaders should proceed with an anti-bigotry news conference Friday.
"While I would celebrate [the cancellation] news, it does not sound to me that he's repented. To have even intended to burn the sacred book of another religion is wrong-headed," Mr. Anderson said.
Imam Ansari took the proverbial podium to opine that the First Amendment doesn't cover the burning of a Koran, because "you can't cry 'fire' in a crowded theater." The person burning the book, in other words, would be sparking an almost involuntary backlash from Muslims and would therefore be responsible for "endangering many lives."
"As Muslims, we would never dare think of burning the Bible. That would be unconscionable. It would be tantamount to burning Jesus Christ in effigy," he said, adding that the anti-Christian laws found in such places as Saudi Arabia are a "cultural thing" and have nothing to do with true Islam.
(One wonders whether Ansari accepts any financial or other support from within that culture.)
Why is it that acts of violence done in Islam's name require warnings against infidel backlash, while an act of offensive self-promotion threatened by a Christian requires unified condemnation? Perhaps the reportage omitted the statement, but I don't see any mention of warnings to those who've made it prudent for said Christian to carry a gun.
When Muslims are the perpetrators, the statement is, "We condemn, in advance, any backlash, and of course, when Muslims behave badly, it has nothing to do with Islam." When Christians are the prospective perpetrators, the statement is, "We condemn, in advance, this act and feel it must be made explicit that it is not a legitimate expression of our faith; any backlash would be understandable, and of course, when Muslims behave badly, it has nothing to do with Islam."

Don't you think this is really just a corollary of the typical liberal's "soft bigotry of low expectations?"
Any non-Muslims who burn a Koran must be "bitter clinging" bigots, but any Muslims who lash out in response with indiscriminate violence against Westerners just can't help themselves!
And as for the liberals' complete (and shameful) indifference regarding the (mis)treatment of women in many Muslim cultures . . . well it's just another example of left-wing hypocrisy.
Take a second "leering" look at a provocatively clad female sports reporter on the sideline at an NFL practice and risk public scorn from the media elites . . . but not so much when a Muslim man performs an "honor killing" on his wife or daughter.

I'm more concerned with the hypocrisy of the leftists media. For weeks they whined about how "the world will end" if the Koran was burned on Saturday. That clown in the White House even made it a national security issue.
Well, guess what? On Saturday at least 3 Korans were publicly burned on camera-1 in Tennessee, 1 in Kansas and one right on the site of the Obama 911 Mosque.
Not only was the reaction the biggest flop since Y2K but the leftist media stopped reporting when their "Wolf!" cries were exposed.

Justin wonders "whether Ansari accepts any financial or other support from" Saudi Arabia; the implication being, "How can he deal with those people". That would apparently soil his hands. It doesn't seem to bother our Swarmy Swami that we have blackened ours by importing an average of 1,114 thousand barrels of oil a day from the Saudis during this calendar year alone. That fact is apparently not worth mentioning, and in fact needs to be hidden so as to fit his demonizing prejudices. This is the very definition of a small "j" jesuitical argument; a prime example of "Round up the usual suspects".
I don't think the implication is "How can he deal with these people?" in the abstract. Rather the question is "What exactly is the deal?" When we buy oil from the Saudis we pay the market price for a barrel of oil and in return we get a barrel of oil. There is balance, and no reason, absent other evidence, to suspect sinister motives on either side. However, if some Saudi nationals, particularly those who espouse an intolerant and violent version of Wahabi Islam, donate money to an American mosque, one may reasonably question what exactly the Saudis are expecting in exchange for their money.
You are playing John Alden to Justin Katz' Miles Standish. Let the man speak for himself.


Bbc world service, originally uploaded by bantic.
Jenny and I had an interview with the BBC World Service last week. I was at the BBC World Service Studios on the west side of NYC, she was in a studio in a public school in San Francisco, and the person interviewing us was in London.
I spent some time listening to past interviews that we had done, thought over some of the more academic aspects of the pop dialer, and in general had thought of all these erudite things to say. It's the BBC World Service, after all. And of course what happened was we were in the studio for like 20 minutes total, and at the very start our interviewer told us to keep it light and non-academic, and I never got to say any of the things that I prepared. But it was still a lot of fun.
You can hear how we did for yourself. It'll be broadcast on the BBC World Service today. I'll update this post with a link to it when I find out what it will be.
Funny story: The interviewer was under the impression that Jenny and I were a couple, and was all prepared to announce that on the radio until we set him straight.

Post-Covid reconstruction of Pakistan
July 22, 2020 July 22, 2020 Raja Hamid	0 Comments	Pakistan, Post-Covid, reconstruction
The Covid-19 epidemic has created many challenges but also opened up many opportunities for developing countries such as Pakistan. One of the new opportunities relates to distance education.
There is increased awareness of the excellent internationally available courses at school, college and university levels from top institutions of the world, many of which are available freely or at nominal cost. These can dramatically help boost educational standards since the biggest hurdle in raising standards of education in Pakistan is the quality of faculty at school, college and university levels.
We have about 1.5 million students enrolled in the higher education sector but there are only about 15,000 faculty members at the PhD level. To reach a ratio of one PhD level faculty member for every 20 students, we need to have another 60,000 PhD level faculty. Clearly, our present allocations to the higher education sector do not allow the level of investment needed to send so many students for doctoral training abroad.
The situation in colleges is even worse, this being the most neglected sector of education. School level education poses an even bigger problem with the pathetic state of government schools in the country. The answer to these issues is however available, if we only have the will to apply it.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide the solution, if properly used. MOOCs have been available from MIT in the form of MIT Opencourseware for over 20 years and subsequently other universities have also started offering these courses. They include Stanford, Harvard, Yale, University of California and many other universities. FutureLearn, based in London, is a digital education platform founded in December 2012 by the Open University and SEEK Ltd. It now includes 175 UK and international partners and offers courses in many disciplines.
Similarly Udemy, founded in May 2010, is an American online learning platform that has more than 50 million students and 57,000 instructors, with teaching courses in over 65 languages. Khan Academy founded in 2008 by Salman Khan is also a US-based company that offers school and college level practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard to teach maths, science, computing, history, economics etc.
interesting reading: Techstirr Signs An MOU With Family Educational Services Foundation To Educate Deaf Children In Pakistan
Realising the importance of these teaching platforms, and after permission of the companies concerned, we have downloaded most of these materials and integrated them on a single platform. This therefore provides students with a single source free access to tens of thousands of excellent courses at school, college and university levels. This integrated version of MOOCs (iMOOCs) has been developed at the International Centre for Chemical and Biological Sciences, University of Karachi under our supervision. It is available at www.lej4learning.com.pk This exciting initiative allows any individual anywhere in the world to benefit from these materials. Many of the school level courses are dubbed in Urdu.
What is needed now is for the federal and provincial ministries of education to make it mandatory for all schools, colleges and universities to adopt and adapt these courses so that we can quickly implement a "blended education" system that allows us to learn not only from our own teachers but also from the best teachers in the world.
In a related six billion rupee project funded through the Knowledge Economy Task Force of which Prime Minister Imran Khan is chairman and I am vice chairman, a system of blended education will be implemented by the Virtual University in order to uplift university education. It should prove to be an important step forward to introduce this powerful system of education on a wide scale in Pakistan.

With the Fourth Industrial Revolution upon us, the face of businesses and industries are changing rapidly, and posing new challenges to our systems of education that a blended system of education can address effectively. According to McKinsey Global, there will be a 100 trillion dollar impact of new and emerging disruptive technologies by 2025, of which Artificial Intelligence alone will have an impact of $15.7 trillion. Artificial intelligence is now transforming almost every sphere of human activity, ranging from medicine and agriculture, to industrial manufacture, transportation, home appliances and warfare.
IBM's computer, 'Watson', is already helping nurses diagnose cancer with an accuracy four times greater than humans. Lawyers in the US are worried if they will be able to find jobs because IBM Watson can offer legal advice within seconds with 90 percent accuracy compared with 70 percent accuracy of human lawyers.
It is predicted that by 2030 the stage of 'singularity' will be achieved and computers will become far more intelligent than humans including acquiring the ability to acquire knowledge by themselves, learn from their mistakes and improve their abilities at lightning speed. Artificial intelligence is already being used for recognizing minute changes in facial expressions when persons are lying, thereby making life difficult for criminals.
American entrepreneur Elon Musk established the company SpaceX which is able to launch rockets to space at a fraction of the cost of what it was costing NASA. About three years ago, the value of the shares of the electric car company Tesla, founded in 2003, overtook the value of shares of Ford, founded a hundred years earlier, and it is now widely recognized that the combustion engine is now on its way out. Within a decade, most petrol/diesel cars and buses will be replaced by electric vehicles.

Nanotechnology emerged accidentally when it was found that remarkable changes of properties in materials occur when their sizes are reduced to between 1 nanometer (nm) and 100 nm. Gold for instance becomes blue-green, red or purple in colour, depending on the particle size, if its size is reduced to the nanoscale. Nanotechnology is finding many applications in medicine, agriculture, food, water purification, cosmetics, electronics, new materials and many other fields. Nano agriculture-related products are now estimated to have a market of $20 billion that is expanding rapidly.
'Metamaterials' have been developed that bend light. Materials covered with such materials become invisible, and these are already being used for cloaking tanks and weapons. Two professors at Manchester University shared the 2010 Nobel Prize for discovering a carbon material that is 200 times stronger than steel: 'graphene'. Graphene is having a profound impact on new electronic devices such as mobile phone batteries. The lithium ion batteries made out of planar sheets of graphene now last 10 times longer than conventional batteries.
The emergence of such new technologies is now opening up new and fantastic opportunities for the developing countries. It is imperative that we prepare our children for the new era of the Knowledge Economy, where natural resources have diminishing importance. It is here where the blended education programmes mentioned above can help us leapfrog into the future. Our ministries of education need to act with a sense of urgency and move quickly to a blended system of education.

BREXIT: Spain and EU suggest removing Gibraltar border
Madrid and Brussels have approached the British government with a proposal for removing the border fence between Spain and Gibraltar in order to ease freedom of movement, Spain's top diplomat said Friday.

"The text presented to the United Kingdom is a comprehensive proposal that includes provisions on mobility with the aim of removing the border fence and guaranteeing freedom of movement," Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said, according to a ministry statement.
Such a move would make Spain, as representative of Europe's passport-free Schengen zone, "responsible for controlling Gibraltar's external borders", it said.
The Schengen Area allows people to move freely across the internal borders of 26 member states, four of which are not part of the EU.
There was no immediate response from London.
A tiny British enclave at Spain's southern tip, Gibraltar's economy provides a lifeline for some 15,000 people who cross in and out to work every day.
Most are Spanish and live in the impoverished neighbouring city of La Línea.
Although Brexit threw Gibraltar's future into question, raising fears it would create a new "hard border" with the EU, negotiators reached a landmark deal for it to benefit from the rules of the Schengen zone just hours before Britain's departure on January 1, 2021.
Details of the agreement have yet to be settled.
With a land area of just 6.8 square kilometres (2.6 square miles), Gibraltar is entirely dependent on imports to supply its 34,000 residents and the deal was crucial to avoid slowing cross-border goods trade with new customs procedures.
Albares said the proposal would mean Madrid "taking on a monitoring and protection role on behalf of the EU with regards to the internal market with the removal of the customs border control" between Spain and Gibraltar.
The deal would "guarantee the free movement of goods between the EU and Gibraltar" while guaranteeing respect for fair competition, meaning businesses in the enclave would "compete under similar conditions to those of other EU operators, notably those in the surrounding area".
Although Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain in 1713, Madrid has long wanted it back in a thorny dispute that has for decades involved pressure on the frontier.

Brexit: Brits in EU feel European and don't want to return home
Public support in Europe for leaving EU collapses since Brexit, new survey shows
The majority of Britons who live in the EU, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland and are protected under the Brexit agreement feel European and intend to remain in Europe permanently, but many have concerns about travel problems, a new survey reveals.
The research also shows that problems exist and "travel is where most issues relating to the new status currently occur". For instance, border officials are still stamping passports of UK citizens with residence rights under the EU UK withdrawal agreement, even though they shouldn't.
"There is constant confusion around passport stamping. I was 'stamped in' to France on a short trip… but could not find anyway to be 'stamped out' again. I think I can only spend 90 days in other EU countries, but have no idea how anyone can check or enforce that – until someone decides to try. It's a mess," was one of the answers left in an open question.
"Every time I go through a Schengen border control, I need to provide both my passport and Aufenthaltstitel card [resident permit in Germany] and watch to check that they don't stamp my passport. As I am currently travelling a lot that's been 20-odd times this year…" another respondent said.
The survey was carried out by Professor Tanja Bueltmann, historian of migration and diaspora at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, between October and November 2022. About 1,139 UK citizens replied.
Of these, 80 per cent found acquiring their new status easy or very easy, 60.7 per cent feel their rights are secure, while 39.3 per cent have concerns about their status going forward.
Staying permanently
More than three quarters (76.6 per cent) of respondents said they plan to live permanently in the EU or the other countries of the European Economic Area and Switzerland. In fact, 65.7 per cent said that Brexit has increased the likelihood of this choice.
For some, the decision is linked to the difficulty to bring non-British family members to the UK under new, stricter immigration rules.
"My German wife and I decided we no longer wanted to live in UK post Brexit referendum. In particular, we were affected by the impact of immigration law […] We cannot now return to UK on retirement as I cannot sponsor her on my pension. We knew it was a one-way journey. Fortunately, I could revive an application for German citizenship," was a testimony.
"My husband is a US citizen and getting him a visa for the UK was near impossible due to my low income as a freelance journalist. We realized under EU law, moving to an EU country was easier. We settled on Austria as we had both lived there before… we could speak some German, and we like the mountains," said another respondent.
Professor Bueltmann noted that the loss of free movement rights in the EU could be a factor too in the decision of many to stay where they are.
Citizenship and representation
Among those who decided to stay, 38.2 per cent are either applying or planning to apply for a citizenship and 28.6 per cent are thinking about it.
A key finding of the research, Bueltmann said, is that the vast majority of British citizens do not feel politically represented. Some 60 per cent of respondents said they feel unrepresented and another 30 per cent not well represented.
Another issue is that less than half (47.5 per cent) trust the government of their country of residence, while a larger proportion (62 per cent) trust the European Union. Almost all (95.6 per cent) said they do not trust the UK government.
Feeling European
The survey highlights the Brexit impacts on people's identity too. 82.6 per cent of respondents said they see themselves as European, a higher proportion than those identifying as British (68.9 per cent).
"Brexit has really left me unsure of what my identity is. I don't feel British, and I certainly don't identify with the mindset of a lot of British people who live there. Yet, I am not Danish either. So, I don't really know anymore!" said one of the participants in the survey.
Professor Bueltmann said the survey "demonstrates that Brexit impacts continue to evolve: this didn't just stop because the transition period was over or a deadline for an application had been reached. Consequently, Brexit continues to shape the lives and experiences of British citizens in the EU/EEA and Switzerland in substantial, sometimes life-altering, ways."
Considering the results of the study, Professor Bueltmann recommends policy makers in the EU and the UK to address the issue of lack of representation, for instance creating a joint UK-EU citizens' stakeholder forum.
The report also recommends the UK government to rebuild trust with British citizens in the EU introducing voting rights for life and changing immigration rules to allow British-European families to return more easily.

Bengaluru FC added a special page in their short but successful history after a 0-0 (1-0 aggregate)draw against Tampines Rovers at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Wednesday night was enough to send them to the semifinal of the AFC Cup. The game that had way more than its fair share of drama with both teams creating chances aplenty, was seen through by Albert Roca's boys who took control of things in a strong second half show.
The win over two legs set up a semifinal date with familiar foes and Cup holders Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia, where the Blues will travel to for the first leg on September 28 at the Larkin Stadium.
Coming into the game with a 1-0 result in the home leg, Roca decided to go with an unchanged starting XI. The bench, however, had two changes with Beikhokhei Beingaichho and Gursimrat Gill coming in place of Udanta Singh and Lalchhuanmawia who missed the trip with injuries.
Bengaluru's best chance came in the 38th minute when a freekick variation caught the Tampines defence unawares but a sliding Eugeneson Lyngdoh couldn't get his foot to what was a delicious pass across the face of the goal from CK Vineeth.
Only a minute later, Jermain Pennant fluffed his lines from inside the box when the former Arsenal man when he lobbed a half-hearted strike over the Blues' goal. Earlier, Tampines' Muhammad Hafiz came close to giving the hosts a lead when he intercepted a poor pass from Nishu Kumar and set off on a free run before his strike drew a save from Amrinder Singh.
The Blues got off to a bright start in the second half and Chhetri could have handed them a vital lead in the 48th minute when he lost a defender in the box before shooting, only for Mohamad Izwan to make a save.
A far cry from the frantic first half that saw them give away possession rather cheaply, the Blues turned up with a far more controlled show that saw them string passes and hold possession for long spells in the game.
Needing a goal to keep their hopes alive and take the game to extra-time, Tampines pressed high up and came close on a few occasions through Jordan Webb and Muhammad Hafiz. But the Bengaluru defence refused to press the panic button, making vital steals and patiently building up the game from the back. In the 77th minute Chhetri and Eugeneson exchanged a smart one-two but the latter's shot lacked the sting it needed.
The Blues should have surely put the game to bed in the third of the five minutes of additional time but late substitute Vishal Kumar's fierce strike was kept out by Izwan and Eugeneson's follow-up strike ricocheted off the post with the 'keeper well beaten.
But none of the missed chances would come back to bite the Indian champions who joined Dempo SC and East Bengal to become only the third club from India to make it this far in the competition.
This was an official Press Release provided by Bengaluru FC.

Q: Event Log Forwarding does not display event message on collector Yet another Microsoft issue or bug. I just can't seem to get forwarded event logs show the Message of the event. I always get the following in the details section:
The description for Event ID xxx from source AD FS Auditing cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

This only happens on "non standard" events from another application (ADFS in my case).
Some of the action items I have done:

*

*Made sure subscription is in Rendered Text: wecutil ss "Subscription Name" /cf:RenderedText

*Copied all DLLS from source servers application (ADFS) and placed it in the collector server in the same path

*Created a registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Forwarded Events (Note I cannot create a new event log that is an accepted destination in creating the subscription, another Windows limitation).

*Added registry keys for each Source/Providers and registry values for EventMessageFile pointing to the DLLs
I also tried converting from RenderedText back to Events in case the above steps fixed it, but it did not.
Can anyone identify what's happening? I just don't understand why Event Log does not just forward the message text like syslog; this all seems like unnecessary complication.


I just wonder if you had a table and you unioned it would it be more efficent then using a join??
I do know that the join creates more columns but this is more theoretical - Will the union need to do a nested loop scan of the other table like a join would have to?
Union will be faster, as it simply passes the first SELECT statement, and then parses the second SELECT statement and adds the results to the end of the output table.
The Join will go through each row of both tables, finding matches in the other table therefore needing a lot more processing due to searching for matching rows for each and every row.
By Union, I mean Union All as it seemed adequate for what you were trying to achieve. Although a normal Union is generally faster then Join.
I don't agree with him. Technically speaking no matter how good your join is, a "JOIN" is still more expensive than a pure concatenation. I made a blog post to prove it at my blog codePERF[dot]net. Practically speaking they serve 2 completely different purposes and it is more important to ensure your indexing is right and using the right tool for the job.
JOIN and UNION have two different purposes. JOIN is used to add additional tables to a query for the purpose of adding selection criteria and possibly additional columns. UNION is used to combine the results of two distinct queries with the same columns. Asking which is more efficient is like asking which of "a loaf of bread" and "the blowing wind" is more "orange".
sorry to break your party, but a well written join will be faster than a union.
A single SELECT will use no more than one index per table. A UNION will use no more than one index per SELECT in the union.
The UNION will make better use of indexes which could result in a faster query.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Federal Government is investing $492.3 million to upgrade priority freight routes in the Northern Territory, maximising benefits for industry and communities in the region.
"We have consulted with industry, councils and local communities to identify which key corridors would be upgraded to increase the reliability of key routes, improve links between regional communities and essential services and reduce freight travel times and cost," he said.
After leading a consultation session with local stakeholders in Darwin last year Assistant Minister for Roads and Transport Scott Buchholz said regional communities and industries across the Territory will benefit from the funding injection.
"The key corridors in the Northern Territory to receive upgrades include the Alice Springs to Darwin, Newman to Katherine, Alice Springs to Halls Creek corridors, Tennant Creek to Townsville and Adelaide River to Wadeye corridors," he said.
"It's about making roads across the north more resilient to the wet season to keep communities connected and boost economic output for the territory."
"The Federal Liberal and Nationals Government is absolutely committed to northern Australia and our ROSI investment builds on our investments in the Northern Australia Roads Program and the Beef Roads Program," he said.
"The upgrades under ROSI will make a big difference to road reliability for all the freight operators and communities who rely on these essential corridors, increasing flood immunity and boosting safety and efficiency through sealing, realigning routes, building bridges and widening roads," said Scullion.
Australia is renowned for having an exceptionally vibrant transport scene that continues to lift the benchmark in modern vehicle design. But does that enviable reputation translate into a safety advantage? A new NTI report might have the answers. Prime Mover was allowed an exclusive first look.

If My Heart Had Windows is the second studio album by American country music artist Patty Loveless, and was released in 1988. The title track — a cover of a George Jones song from 1967 — became Loveless' first top ten hit, peaking on the Billboard Country Music charts at number 10. It was then followed by her biggest chart position (number 2 on September 10, 1988) at the time with "A Little Bit In Love," a song written by country artist Steve Earle.  It also features a recording of the song "Baby's Gone Blues", which would be recorded by Shelby Lynne for her 1990 album Tough All Over and by Reba McEntire for her 1992 album It's Your Call.

The album peaked at number 33 on April 2, 1988.

This album was released the same year (1988) that Loveless became a Member of the Grand Ole Opry.

The prefix "crypto-" originally meant "hidden". Now, due to its association with "cryptography", the prefix has shifted to mean something more like "secure" when used in new words, e.g. "cryptocurrency". This may be mainly due to the relatively few number of words in common usage that use the "crypto-" prefix with its original meaning.
Another example of this is "hyper-". Originally it just meant "over", but now it's often just a short form of "hyperactive", the word it's probably most often associated with. Because of this, the prefix now has a connotation of "out-of-control" or "high energy". "Hypersensitive" (at least to me) sounds a lot stronger than "oversensitive".
Is there a term for this phenomenon? If so, I'd be interested in what other prefixes/suffixes changed their meaning like this.
'Hyper' is an example of apocope.
Final (or back) clipping is the most common type [of clipping], in which the beginning of the prototype is retained. The unclipped original may be either a simple or a composite. Examples are: ad (advertisement), cable (cablegram), doc (doctor), exam (examination), fax (facsimile), gas (gasoline), gym (gymnastics, gymnasium), memo (memorandum), mutt (muttonhead), pub (public house), pop (popular music).
'Shortening' 'clipping' or 'truncation' are descriptions of words being minimised in use.
Clipping only changes the length of the word, it does not change its meaning or its part of speech. A noun will still be a noun and it will mean exactly what it meant previously.

Is there a single word for speech with a double meaning?
Does the word 'melao' have any special meaning when it is used as a name?

Is there a single word or phrase for something that looks/sounds wrong, but is right?
Is there a category name for verbs beginning with 'be-'? Is 'be-' a general prefix for words?

As you walk through the doors of Crossroads, you will find loving friends ready to celebrate your visit while enjoying a cup of hot coffee from our relaxing coffee bar before the worship service. We have a total program designed for your whole family from our nurseries to our exciting Kidz Block program. Then enter into a rich time of worship with our gifted praise team as they lead us into a relevant message that shapes our heart and mind for God.
We believe it's important for everyone to connect to a church family and find the support we need to be accepted unconditionally no matter where we are in life. Life is hard and we need all the help and support from the family of God. Our doors are open to you and anxiously await your arrival. Come grow and celebrate life with us at Crossroads Bible Church in Elkton, Maryland. WE WELCOME YOU!
At Crossroads Bible Church we have something for everyone!

Welcome! It is a real joy for us to meet newcomers and to tell you about all the good things God is doing in our church family. Our mission is to "lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." That means that no matter where you've come from and where you are on your spiritual journey, we want to come alongside to inspire, equip and encourage you to live out a life that will bring glory to God and be a blessing to the world.
Our Sunday morning service provides an opportunity to bring people together and share in a time of celebration of what God is doing in our lives. Because each of our daily routines are so different, our Sunday service is a special time to bring us all together and tell stories and struggles to the entire Crossroads family so we can worship God and pray to Him for our communities.
Our Small Groups are the heart of our church. We believe that if we are not demonstrating Christ's love in our most comfortable environment, it will be impossible to love God and others with our whole lives. Sincerity, openness and respect help lead our groups, along with leaders who have risen and been established by God through the leadership of our church. We highly encourage everyone who calls Crossroads their home to be involved in a small group.
We are a growing church, with tons of kids. We take the teaching of God's word and love all kids just as much as we do adults. Check out the links below to get more info about our kids and students in their stages of life.
We believe that financial giving is a way God has called us to worship Him. Some churches tend to be shy in asking for donations to keep ministry going but the stories we hear are amazing of lives that are being changed by Christ in and around our community. God is at work in this community and has given us an amazing opportunity to reach people far from Him. Crossroads not only strives to impact lives locally, but also works globally with communities around the World. Our goal is to make a difference for Eternity.

When you only have about 1 second to send a visual message, it's all about image and perception. Especially in politics. Here's an example from a local city council race.
I'm impressed with this candidate's use of an image to tell a story. He tells us a little about what values he holds high. I hope he will work to keep our community and neighborhood a family friendly place to live.
And, I like that he has a website to go to for more details. He looks well-organized. I can check him out without much effort. He has made it easy for me.
His use of the color blue seems appropriate because his opponent is using red. I feel good about this guy even though some people may not agree with my perception of him.
This candidate is evidently the incumbent. I can tell by the use of the word "retain" rather than "elect".
I would hope the winner of the election works "4 the community". That's sort of understood, isn't it?
I wonder what all the stars represent?
If I don't find enough time to learn more about the individual candidates viewpoints and what they stand for, I will probably vote for that blue sign guy with the family friendly drawing. I just sort of feel better about him.
Like in many elections, you sometimes vote for the name with the most recognition, translated to mean the most signs. But what can a sign that gets about 1 second of our mind while traveling down the street convey to us?
Colors, symbols, images, pictures; They are all important and stir our emotions based on our different life experiences. Think about the impressions you send with your business ads and marketing materials.
What are YOU selling? Are you using imagery to YOUR advantage?
