REVIEW OF THE TAKE UP AND USE OF ADVANCE STATEMENTS AND NOMINATED PERSONS - TheMHS Learning Network Inc.
The Victorian Mental Health Act 2014 sought to introduce and strengthen the rights of people with a mental illness. Building on International movements, the inclusion of Advanced Statements and the right to elect a Nominated Person were designed to provide support and protect consumers interests ensuring people were able to exercise their rights. The roll out of the Mental Health Act was attenuated by an education strategy to enable service users and service providers to best understand and implement supported decision making, advance Statements and nominated persons. Clinical services and peak consumer and carer bodies report a low uptake of these mechanisms and the need to evaluate compliance. This project sought to review the uptake and impacts of the provision for an advanced statement and nominated persons and is part of a broader suite of projects focused on consumer rights that will inform future actions by the OCP in enabling the Mental Health Act.

\section{INTRODUCTION}

Stars spin-down through their magnetized winds that carry away mass and
angular momentum (magnetic breaking). These winds
corotate with them up to a certain distance, called the Alfv\'en radius ($R_A$), where the speed of the wind
reaches the Alfv\'enic speed ($ u_A=B/\sqrt{4\pi \rho}$, being $B$
the magnetic field strength and $\rho$ the density of the plasma).  The
strength of the wind is expected to scale up with field strength and, therefore, stellar spin-down is a function
of magnetic activity.  \citet{1967ApJ...148..217W} provided the first analytical expression for
magnetic breaking, $\dot{J}=\frac{2}{3} \Omega \dot{M}R_A^2 $, where
$\dot{J}$ is the angular momentum loss rate, $\Omega$ the
angular velocity, $\dot{M}$ the mass loss rate, and where spherical symmetry has been
assumed (a split magnetic monopole was used and $R_A$ is
constant).

Recently, improved observational techniques like Zeeman
Doppler Imaging \citep{1997A&A...326.1135D} have provided us with new information about the magnetic
topology of almost a hundred stars \citep[see][and references
therein]{2009ARA&A..47..333D, 2010MNRAS.407.2269M}.  The fact that most of them show much more
complex structure than that of a dipole
has drawn a great amount of attention
towards the role of magnetic topology in angular momentum loss.

Since then, some authors have discussed the importance of topology for
the winds structure and efficiency of magnetic braking
 \citep{2009ApJ...699.1501C, 2013ApJ...764...32G, 2014MNRAS.439.2122L, 2011ApJ...741...54C}.
Both analytical and numerical models have been built aiming, with increasing
success, to realistically study the interplay between spin-down
rates and magnetic structure at the surface of stars
\citep{1987MNRAS.226...57M, 1988ApJ...333..236K, 1995ApJ...446..435C, 1958ApJ...128..677P,
  2012ApJ...754L..26M, 2011ApJ...741...54C, 2009ApJ...699.1501C, 2014ApJ...783...55C}.

In this work we study the relevance of magnetic active regions and their
latitudinal locations on stellar spin-down rates.
Using a three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code we perform simulations to
explore the effect of stellar spots on mass and angular momentum loss rates.

\section{NUMERICAL SIMULATION}

We use the generic {\it BATS-R-US} code \citep{1999JCoPh.154..284P,2012JCoPh.231..870T} that solves the set of MHD equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, magnetic induction, and energy on a spherical, logarithmic in the $\hat{r}$ coordinate grid. We take advantage of the code's Adaptive Mesh Refinement capabilities to refine the grid around regions where the magnetic field changes its sign. This way we better resolve current sheets that form during the simulation.

We carry out simulations for a set of magnetic maps, starting with two pure
dipoles (with field strengths of 10 and 20 Gauss at the poles) and
superimposing the magnetic active regions observed for the sun near solar maximum
(Carrington Rotation 1958). We place these two rings of spots at three different latitudes, using the
same shift in latitude for both hemispheres, and with three different
scalings for the spots strength.

From the resulting solutions we compute the mass and angular momentum
loss rates and study the spatial distribution of the
contributing quantities (density and wind speed) at the Alfv\'en and stellar
surfaces, as well as the shape and size of the Alfv\'en Surface
itself.

\section{RESULTS AND DISCUSSION}

The general behaviour is ruled by the latitude of the magnetic active
regions and is well described by two limiting cases: magnetograms with
low-latitude and high-latitude spots (see figure \ref{fig:1}).  We group our results in these two categories that represent the general trend of
the whole sample.

In order to illustrate the qualitative effect of the magnetic active
regions in each of these two regimes, in Fig~\ref{fig:2} we
compare the mass (both at the Alfv\'en and at the stellar surfaces) and angular momentum losses as a
function of latitude for a magnetogram with low-latitude spots and the same with
the spots shifted towards high-latitudes.  The transition latitude from
one regime to the other is determined by the limiting latitude between
open and closed field lines regions on the stellar surface of the pure
dipolar solution.

We find that, for all cases, there is a significant reduction of mass
and angular momentum loss when magnetic active regions are located at
high-latitudes compared to both the pure dipolar solution and the one
with low-latitude
spots.

In general, the introduction of magnetic active regions within the
``dead-zone'' from which wind does not escape for the dipolar case
(low-latitudes) does not change systematically the
mass or angular momentum loss rates.  However, any reallistic
distribution of active regions will produce a small residual dipolar
component as a result of the spatial separation of the spots. For
rings of spots at low-latitudes, this competing dipole will be almost
perpendicular to the rotation axis and original dipole, and will result
in a tilt of the Alfv\'en surface.  Consequently, the low-latitude
active regions lead to a change in orientation of the Alfv\'en
surface.
In contrast, the introduction of active regions at high-latitudes leads to a
significant reduction in both mass and angular momentum loss rates.
The reason for this is that spots located in the open field lines
regions of a star can efficiently couple to them and close them, therefore reducing the amount
of wind carrying plasma away (see Fig~\ref{fig:3} for a qualitative plot).

It is also worth noticing from Fig~\ref{fig:2} that most of the mass being lost is
coming from mid-latitudes at the stellar surface and it funnels
towards the equator when approaching the Alfv\'en surface.  This makes
sense because closed field lines cannot contribute to the mass loss
mechanism.  As a result, most of the torque experienced by the star
will be located in a narrow band at mid latitudes, fundamentally at the transition
latitude where the open field lines begin to appear and that that divides the low and high-latitude regimes.

In summary, we find a bi-modal regime regulated by the latitude of spots by which magnetic
active regions efficiently reduce mass and angular momentum
loss rates {\it only} when located outside of the dead zone (the closed field line
region on the stellar
surface).  The mechanism behind it is the closing of otherwise open
field that leads to a reduction in the plasma being carried
away (see Fig~\ref{fig:3}).  As a result, magnetic cycles of stars whose spots cross
the limiting latitude of the dead-zone, and therefore turn on and off this
mechanism,  will experience a large modulation of mass
and angular momentum loss, by a typical factor of the order of a few (see
Fig~\ref{fig:2}).

Гарфилд 2 () је британско-амерички играни/рачунарски-анимирани хумористички филм из 2006. године који је режирао Тим Хил и написали Џоел Коен и Алек Соколов. Представља наставак филма Гарфилд. Главни глумци Брекин Мејер и Џенифер Лав Хјуит репризирају своје улоге као Џон Арбакл и др Лиз Вилсон и Бил Мари репризира своју гласовну улогу као Гарфилд. Нове глумачке чланове чине Били Коноли, Ијан Аберкромби, Роџер Рис, Луси Дејвис и Оливер Мерхед као игране улоге и Тим Кари, Боб Хоскинс, Рис Иванс, Вини Џоунс, Џо Паскале, Ричард Е. Грант, Џејн Ливз и Роско Ли Браун као гласови нових животињских ликова. У филму, Гарфилд, Оди, Лиз и Џон путују у Уједињено Краљевство, где Принц, друга мачка која изгледа управо као Гарфилд, влада замком након смрти његовог власника. Његову владавину убрзо угрожава лорд Даргис, зли аристократ и нећак Принчевог преминулог власника који планира да преуреди дворац у кондоминијуме, уништи имање и ослободи се Принца.

Продуциран од стране -{Davis Entertainment Company}- за -{20th Century Fox}-, филм је изашао 16. јуна 2006. године у Сједињеним Америчким Државама и као и свој претходник, добио је углавном негативан пријем критичара.

У Србији је филм премијерно приказан 28. јула 2006. године у дворани Дома синдиката у Београду, док је са стандардним приказивањем почео 3. августа 2006. године, синхронизован на српски језик. Дистрибуцију је радило предузеће -{Tuck}- и синхронизацију студио Мириус. Филм Гарфилд 2 је синхронизован на српски језик, иако његов претходник није. Српска синхронизација је објављена на -{DVD}- издању.

Радња

У новој филмској авантури неваљали мачак Гарфилд прати свог господара Џона Арбакла, који креће у Лондон да би запросио своју девојку Лиз. У краљевској Енглеској, Гарфилд ће случајно бити замењен са краљевском мачком Принцом, на кога невероватно личи. Гарфилд ће тако добити краљевски третман уз помоћ својих верних слуга и поданика, услужног батлера Смитија, енглеског булдога Винстона и бројних становника имања. Али, да ни на двору није све савршено, схватиће када злокобни лорд Даргис покуша да га уклони, како би наследио замак. Гарфилдов већи, бољи и савршенији свет ускоро ће бити окренут наглавачке!

The Plaintiff had a history of skin lesions on his back, which had previously tested positive for basal cell carcinoma. At a routine annual exam with his primary care physician noticed a new lesion and took a biopsy. The pathology report came back positive for basal cell, but the physician never saw the report and failed to either treat the condition or notify the Plaintiff. Almost two years later another physician saw the lesion and performed another biopsy, which indicated basal cell and other more serious potential complications. The cancerous cells were removed, but only after two surgeries, and a resulting scar the size of a grapefruit on the Plaintiff back. Mr. Miller filed an action in Middlesex Superior Court. The case settled following depositions of the Plaintiff and the doctor for just under $100,000.

Der Einhornfisch (auch See-Einhorn) ist ein selten verwendetes Wappentier. Er ist eine Zusammensetzung aus einem Vorderteil eines Einhorns und einem Fischschwanz als Hinterteil und gehört damit zu den fischgeschwänzten Tieren, die als Fabelwesen gelten. Die Farbgebung folgt den heraldischen Regeln. Die Form steht in keinem Zusammenhang mit als "Einhornfisch" bezeichneten real existierenden Fischarten.

**@telepathy[2]**
`"if_net_req(verb, url, params, tp_base)` - Perform an HTTP network request with the given VERB. Assign the network request with the correct telepathy pointer.
`"if_net_req2(verb, headers, url, params, tp_base)`" - Perform an HTTP network request, but accept some HTTP headers in the form of a dictionary.  Useful for authentication or requesting content types.

###Interrupts
`int_net_cb(tp, code, info)` - An interrupt that a network request has completed (or failed).

  * `tp` - The original tele-pointer given for the request passed in for `if_net_req`
  * `code` - an integer vealue that indicates whether the request could be completed or not.  If it's greater than 0, it's an HTTP code response from the server. if it's -1, then it's a failed response.
  * `info` - If the response was succesful, i.e. `code > 0` then the info here should be an arbitrary JSON dictionary containing the server's response. If the network request failed, then this contains a internal error message.

`get_int_net_cb_spec()` - Sends [[0, 1, "get_int_net_cb_spec", int_net_cb_spec]]

###Behavior, when int_net_cb is called, it should make a function request to `tp` and pass `tp`, code` and `info` to this function. Additionally, the
kernel should set `function(tp, a, b) { int_net_cb_spec = [tp, a, b]; }` at address integer `-3209284741`.

------

### Overview

This driver supports network interfacing. It currently only supports HTTP requests. The `if_net_hint_cancel` can be stubbed if your platform does not support cancelling network requests, but it is best if you can attempt to do so because it will lead to more efficiency.

Alarming trend in opioid overdoses and deaths in Windsor-Essex
Stefanie Masotti CTV Windsor Reporter
@SMasottiCTV Contact
Published Monday, May 10, 2021 12:03PM EDT Last Updated Monday, May 10, 2021 12:19PM EDT
WINDSOR, ONT. -- The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit released more details surrounding opioid-use across our region.
Since 2016, there has been a significant increase in cases and deaths.
"The pandemic is really taking a toll on everyone," says Dr. Wajid Ahmed, medical officer of health, of the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. "It's something that is troubling us and we are trying to work with our partners to find better ways to create awareness."
In 2020, there were 350 cases and 64 deaths reported. Of those, 97.9 per cent of deaths were found to be accidental while 53.2 per cent of deaths affected users between the ages of 25 and 44.
There were 48 deaths reported in 2019 and 37 deaths reported in 2017. The top opioid seen in these deaths were Fentanyl.
Dr. Ahmed says 73.9 percent of users died in their home with 52.2 per cent were home alone.
As of May 2021, the Windsor-Essex County Opioid Substance Strategy issued seven opioid-related alerts.
"It's concerning. We may likely see more alerts coming out this year," adds Ahmed.

Q: My Android app only crashes when not debuggable? I have an Android app that works fine in debug mode but started giving issues in release mode. It crashes while binding items to a recyclerview.
Initially I thought this would be a proguard issue, but after enabling proguard for debug mode it became clear that only the release version had this issue. Just to try it out, I set the release version as debuggable true and the problem is gone.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause a crash only if the apk is not debuggable? Or any way to debug this and see what exactly is going wrong?
These are my buildtypes:
buildTypes {
    debug {
        multiDexEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        minifyEnabled true
        useProguard true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    release {
        multiDexEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        minifyEnabled true
        useProguard true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

So, if I add debuggable true to release, the release version works. If I add debuggable false to debug, the debug version stops working...

A: as @laalto said, there's a stacktrace that can be helpful
Putting this in my proguard file:
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable

helped me find where the error was. This shows you the original classnames and linenumbers in the stacktrace. I'm still not sure why the error doesn't occur for debug mode, but at least I was able to solve it. Thanks again!

A: For me the issue was that I was testing the release version and disabled Crashlytics for that to not track my activity.
When "debuggable" was set to true is worked fine, but once set to false I was receiving an instant crash on app start.
So basically I forgot to turn on the Crashlytics and was getting some internal error from it.

A: If you are using C overloaded functions, don't!
I.E
Class A
ofAndroidInit(){
  // will only work with debugging = false
}

Class B
main.cpp
ofAndroidInit() {
 // will work with debugging = true
}

Comparative response of Rangifer tarandus and other northern ungulates to climatic variability

To understand the factors influencing life history traits and population dynamics, attention is increasingly being given to the importance of environmental stochasticity. In this paper, we review and discuss aspects of current knowledge concerning the effect of climatic variation (local and global) on population parameters of northern ungu¬lates, with special emphasis on reindeer/caribou (Rangifer tarandus). We also restrict ourselves to indirect effects of climate through both forage availability and quality, and insect activity. Various authors have used different weather variables; with sometime opposite trends in resulting life history traits of ungulates, and few studies show consistent effects to the same climatic variables. There is thus little consensus about which weather variables play the most sig¬nificant role influencing ungulate population parameters. This may be because the effects of weather on ungulate pop¬ulation dynamics and life history traits are scale dependent and it is difficult to isolate climatic effects from density dependent factors. This confirms the complexity of the relationship between environment and ecosystem. We point out limits of comparability between systems and the difficulty of generalizing about the effect of climate change broadly across northern systems, across species and even within species. Furthermore, insect harassment appears to be a key climate-related factor for the ecology of reindeer/caribou that has been overlooked in the literature of climatic effects on large herbivores. In light of this, there is a need for further studies of long time series in assessing effects of climate variability on reindeer/caribou.

August 25th / Best of Summer Celebration!


The Swamp Rat was originally built in 1957 by Don Garlits and competed for the first two years unblown, with 6, then 8 carburetors modified for running nitromethane and benzene. At first, the car had a two-speed transmission and a full width rear end, and ran a best of 10.5 seconds and 145 mph.
At the ATAA World Series of Drag Racing at Cordova, IL., in August 1957 Don met Emory Cook and Cliff Bedwell and Emory gave Don some ideas on how to improve performance and assisted him in getting his tune-up closer to what he needed to run competitively on Nitro.
Don ran a career best of 155 mph at 9.60 seconds, beating Cook and Bedwell, going to the finals where he lost to Serop "Setto" Postoian. Returning home Don revamped the car, lowered the front end and the engine location, took the transmission out and installed a narrowed Oldsmobile rear end. Don then built a pair of wire spoke front wheels and a new nosepiece. Then on November 10th, 1957 he sat the drag racing world on it's ear when he ran 176.40 mph in 8.79 seconds. Both marks were a world record.
Through 1959 Don toured with the car basically unchanged from when he set the records in November 1957 and attended races from one coast to the other. Here the Don's Speed Shop Special pictured behind Isky's shop with Setto Postoian's car behind. This was the week before the first Smokers March Meet at Bakersfield. This was also the last week that the motor cover would fit on the car. After the March Meet where Don wasn't able to equal the performance of the supercharged Nitro burners he installed a blower and was loaded for Bear at Kingdon Dragstrip, where he cleaned up on the field.
Here are two very rare shots of Don at Kindon, CA in 1959.
On his way back to Florida from California, Garlits stopped off at Chandler AFB and had some fun with the Arizona boys and a few Californians. Here you can see that Don simply slipped a blower under his eight-carburetor set-up. They worked okay and Don was one of the last to stick with them, but they were not as precise in fuel metering as the more commonly used Hilborn fuel injection. Also, the numerous fuel delivery and overflow return lines that were necessary with the Stromberg carburetors was daunting to say the least.
After incurring burns at a race at Chester, SC. in 1959 Don was unable to drive and his friend Art Malone, pictured here with Don, took over the driving. Don also changed over from the 8 carburetor set-up he had used previously, to a Hilborn two-port injector. With the ability to tune the car more accurately performance immediately improved. At one of the first outings with Malone in the seat at Sanford, ME. on August 23, 1959, the car set a new Standard 1320 speed record of 183.66 MPH.
In September Art and Don attended the AHRA Nationals in Great Bend, KS where they set a Standard 1320 ET record of 8:23 which would last for some time. In spite of the record setting performance they were defeated for the first time by an upstart team from Chicago, Chris Karamesines and Don Maynard with "The Chizler". This was the beginning of an enduring competition between "The Chizler" and The Swamp Rat" and a continuing friendship between Garlits and Karamesines.
The Garlits/Malone partnership itself lasted something under a year, but in that time they established themselves as the most feared car in competition and set numerous track records and multiple National speed or elapsed time records.
Here are three shots of Don and Art at Riverside Raceway in 1959 for one of the major events held there. Don and Art traveled steadily, going from Coast to Coast to find the "money" meets!
Back on the West Coast at Riverside Raceway in December 1959, Art and Don won the event beating Art Chrisman in Hustler 1 in the final. Don and Art had top time and low e.t. at 181.81 MPH in 8.51 seconds.
Don returned to Bakersfield for the March Meet again in 1960, with Art driving. As was commonplace for Art and Don, they ran top speed of the meet. In doing so, they also set a new Standard 1320 record of 185.56 mph, beating their own Standard 1320 record held since August of 1959 of 183.66 mph set at Sanford, Maine.
The following week at Fremont, they were the stars beating Ted "Curly" Cyr with a 8:42 e.t. at 184.04 mph for Top Eliminator. They also reeled off a series of runs, which culminated in another new Standard 1320 speed record of 187.10. It seemed like there was a picture of the car in Drag News every week.
Memorial Day weekend 1960 Don and Art attended the annual holiday weekend event at Union Grove, where Bob Metzler brought together all the hot cars he could assemble. The rivalry between Garlits/Malone and Karamesines/Maynard continued with Garlits/Malone looking for revenge for the Great Bend KS defeat by the "Chizler". Here is a classic shot of what it was like back then when the "top dogs" ran! Art Malone edged out Karamesines on this day, racing him twice. Once for class and then again for Top Eliminator, as was the practice in those days. The "Swamp Rat" took home the Cheese.
This picture was taken by Norbe Locke at the Memorial Day event at Union Grove. What's special about it is that Ron Johnson, publisher of the www.cacklefest.com site is standing with his back to the camera at the far left.
Don and Art toured the car extensively from late 1959 through July 1960. They raced full competition shows and match raced as often as they could. Here's Art Malone in 1960 on a mission at Minnesota Dragway. Art and Don separated on July 17th after the race that this picture was taken at.
Don returned home and modified the roll cage to better fit him, and began to drive himself. Here Don signals the driver of the famous Black and White Carryall that he's ready to go. This picture was taken at the Golden Triangle Drag Strip.
Sidebar about the Carryall. In early 1960 Smoky Yunick, who was a friend of Don's, was visiting one day and was dismayed that Don was using a passenger car for a tow vehicle. A few days later, Don got a call from a local Chevrolet dealer that there was a 59 Chev Carryall there and he was supposed to come and get it, compliments of Smoky. It was a former Sheriffs Department vehicle, hence the Black and White color scheme. Don never changed the color scheme and it served well for towing all over the USA. Note the lettering on the front of the Carryall. Trouble indeed!
Notice the front wheels have been changed to the more sturdy Halibrand 12 spokes.
Here's a handout from the period after Don and Art split, when Don was back in the driver's seat. The Hilborn two-port injector has been replaced with an Enderle Barndoor, in this configuration Swamp Rat I-B turned 204.54 mph.
One of the last runs for Swamp Rat 1B before retirement in early 1961. It was replaced by an all new car with a Connie Swingle built all chrome moly tubing chassis, which is known as Swamp Rat 3 and was recently recreated for Sonny Meisner.
In the pits at Bowing Green.
To date NHRR III is the only Cacklefest the car has appeared in. Here is Garlits in the introduction parade.
"Big" fired going to his spot.
And this would be CACKLEFEST!
No matter where he goes, "Big Daddy" is in demand for autographs.
Garlits and long time crewman, TC Lemon chat... or TC could just be telling Big another joke.
Unable to keep his foot out of a throttle, here's Don doing a smoky leave at Huntsville, Alabama in 2005.


Confirmed by Overstock.com's tweet, they now accept the digital currency – Bitcoin!
Founded in 1997, Overstock.com has grown tremendously over the years by selling of a verety of store's over stocked items online. They boast revenues of over a billion dollars annually.
This is a huge shift in support for the Bitcoin protocol and with this type of news it only means good things for the value of bitcoin in the long run. With its frictionless transfer and inability to counterfeit, many other retailers have got their eye on bitcoin as well.
Just recently, local Michigan retailers have jumped aboard, accepting this digital currency in their shops and restaurants. While pundits in the mainstream media continue to squawk this week that bitcoin is not accepted at your local stores, we can see first hand that this argument will be short lived.
Once the market rallies behind Overstock.com, other retailers won't be able to resist the urge to take a piece of the pie.
Show your support, make a purchase today!
The opening hours for Bitcoin on Overstock.com have very much been a success. Bitcoin supporters/owners have showed the market they want retailers to accept the new digital currency and willing to prove it.

The Tebtunis Papyri Archive of Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley is the largest collection of texts on papyrus in the Americas. The phrase Tebtunis archive (uncapitalized) may also be used for the papyri from family archives found at Tebtunis.

The Tebtunis papyri are written in either Demotic Egyptian or Koine Greek and were found during a single expedition led by Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur S. Hunt, two British papyrologists in the winter of 1899/1900 at the village of ancient Tebtunis (near modern Umm-el-Baragat), Egypt.
The papyri can be divided into three groups based on their provenance: texts from the crocodile mummies, the town and from the temple of Soknebtunis, and the cartonnage of human mummies.

Provenance

Crocodile mummy texts
A large portion of the Tebtunis crocodile mummies come from the archive of the komogrammateus or village scribe, of the nearby village, Kerkeosiris, at the end of the 2nd century BC. The Menches papers make up the biggest part of the Crocodile Papyri. These papers are divided into two groups, administrative documents and correspondence. The administrative documents are long reports that detail the state of affairs of every square meter of the area surrounding Kerkeosiris. The correspondence section essentially includes official letters that were addressed to Menches by his superiors and peers in the Ptolemaic bureaucracy.

There also exists a separate group of texts made up of forty-five private documents from the first half of the 1st century BC. These texts were found in five crocodile mummies that had been buried next to each other.

Soknebtunis texts
Grenfell and Hunt's first excavation in 1899 at the Temple of Tebtunis found 200 papyri. The papyri from the town are the most diverse, and they have provided us with literary fragments, including contracts, petitions, declarations, and tax receipts. Most of these papyri concern the priests of the crocodile god, Soknebtunis (Sobek of Tebtunis ), the central deity worshiped in the temples. These documents reveal what life was like for Tebtunis priests when Egypt was under Roman rule.

Cartonnage of human mummy texts
Grenfell and Hunt's second excavation, at the southwest necropolis, unearthed fifty mummy coffins where used papyri had been recycled in the manufacture. The papyri from the cartonnage covering human mummies date from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Most of these documents can be traced back to Oxyrhynchus (modern-day El-Bahnasa), a small village to the north of Tebtunis. These texts are from village officials, the village scribe, and the guards.

Two new documents from the Tebtunis archive
Two papyri have been found that provide evidence regarding two officials, Apion and Kronion, who were in charge of the village record office in Tebtunis during the first half of the 1st century AD. This provides us with more information about certain events in the village of Tebtunis. These documents have been published in two volumes of Papyri from Tebtunis. The village record was directed by Apion from 7 AD to at least 25 AD and by 43 AD it was under the direction of Kronion, son of Apion, until 52 AD.

Lexicological significance
The Tebtunis papyri frequently provide useful light on the usage of Koine Greek in the New Testament period. For example the verb authentein, "to have authority", a hapax legomenon in the New Testament, is documented three times in relation to "bookkeepers having authority" in P.Fam.Tebt.15 (up to 114-15 AD). Texts from the Tebtunis papyri are referenced in both LSJ and BDAG lexicons.

Tebtunis Papyri Volumes
The Tebtunis papyri vol. I, edited with translations and notes by Bernard P. Grenfell, Arthur S. Hunt and J. Gilbart Smyly, 1902, at the Internet Archive
The Tebtunis papyri vol. II, edited with translations and notes by Bernard P. Grenfell, Arthur S. Hunt and J. Edgard Goodspeed, 1907, at the Internet Archive

Not all remote offices have the right IT resources to enhance data management. If, for example, the network connectivity is poor, it is easy to have data protection negligence.
Having a remote data administration office mostly requires manual data collection and tape-based backup. This increases human error, hence putting your company data at risk.
Backing up data isn't one of the simple IT tasks, even to IT professionals. If you would ask managed IT services experts in Orlando, they would say asking a staff member who has no IT background to do data backup is impractical. This leaves you unsure of whether your company data is backed up or not.
You might find yourself in the need of providing certain data. If your data storage was done without planning, you may fail to retrieve that data, in which case you might end up in a legal battle. This entire process is expensive, time-consuming, and hard.
Ransomware attackers prey on company data backed up from remote locations. Once they get access to this data, they encrypt it and demand for a ransom to unlock it.
You can easily avoid these risks by migrating to the cloud. Cloud computing is more reliable, secure, affordable, and scalable when used for backing up your data. Data is stored in a specific location where your managed services provider (MSP) can easily update your database as different offices send their data.
Cloud computing incorporates purpose-built systems such as true-cloud-first approach that take advantage of cloud services. With this approach, data can only be saved in one specific location. It has the advantage that you don't need to install multiple systems, but instead, all your data will be administered from a simplified remote location.
Cloud data management is done by a professional who understands the system better. In this case, human error that frequently expose data to risk is eliminated. Another benefit is that data recovery is made easy in case a disaster strikes. Feel free to contact us at ION247 to learn more about how moving to the cloud can help improve your data security.
