Negros bleeding-heart pigeon
Gallicolumba
Gallicolumba keayi
The Negros bleeding-heart pigeon (Gallicolumba keayi ) is endemic to the Philippines where it is found on the islands of Negros and Panay. It is critically endangered; continuing rates of forest loss on the two islands where it occurs suggest that it will continue to decline. The population is estimated to be just 50 - 249 mature individuals. The species has an extremely small, severely fragmented population. The bird is listed as an EDGE species under the analysis of the Zoological Society of London.
It is considered one of the Western Visayas Big 5 which includes the Walden's hornbill, Visayan spotted deer, Visayan hornbill and the Visayan warty pig.
Flocking birds are those that tend to gather to forage or travel collectively. Avian flocks are typically associated with migration. Flocking also ...
Ebird describes it as "A very rare medium-sized ground dove of foothill forest floor on Negros and Panay. Iridescent greenish-blue on the head and sides to the chest, scaled on the upper back, with brownish flight feathers. White underparts narrow from the throat down the chest to the belly. Obvious white crescents mark the wing and sides of the chest. Note the red "bleeding heart" in the center of the chest. Unlikely to be mistaken if seen well. The only other dove likely to flush from the ground would be Asian emerald dove. Song is a short, accelerating series of low notes."
25cm (10-in) is its total length. Ground-feeder but roosts and nests on bushes or vines; seen in pairs in a flock. Birds with enlarged gonads recorded in April and May and a recent fledgling obtained on May 3.
It has been recorded nesting in March - June with chicks fledging after only 12 days, apparently as an adaptation to the vulnerability of their open and low nests in epiphytic ferns. Nests appear to be regularly predated. The species predominantly feeds on plant material, although there is some potential evidence to suggest that they may also occasionally feed on ground invertebrates.
Indomalayan
The Negros bleeding-heart lives primarily in primary forest up to 1,200 meters above sea level. They are sensitive to habitat disturbance and do not tolerate second growth as well but there are some sparse records..
It is critically endangered with the population estimated to be 50 -249 mature individuals remaining. They are threatened by hunting for food, trapping for the pet trade and habitat loss.Continuing rates of forest loss on the two islands where it occurs suggest that it will continue to decline. By 2007, Negros and Panay had a 3% and 6% remaining forest cover with most of this being higher elevation forest where this bird does not thrive in. Despite already paltry forest cover, deforestation still continues thanks to both legal and illegal logging, conversion into farmland, mining and road development. Trapping and hunting for food and, presumably, for the cage-bird trade constitute other threats.
It was bred for the first time in captivity in 2007 at the Center for Tropical Conservation Studies. As of 2013, the captive population totals 18 individuals, 14 of which have been bred from birds confiscated from the illegal bird trade. Captive breeding is being undertaken by the Talarak Foundation supported by the Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Foundation. There are plans for future reintroductions.
Conservation actions proposed include fieldwork and surveys in areas where they have been reported and other areas with suitable habitats. Provide protection for existing habitats like the Northern Negros Forest reserve. Encourage reforestation activities with an emphasis on native trees. Create education and awareness campaigns to aid in conservation and prevent hunting and the pet trade.

More work on good governance, financial inclusion, infra sought
By Doris Dumlao
SOURCE LINK: http://business.inquirer.net/185503/more-work-on-good-governance-financial-inclusion-infra-sought
THE Philippines has made remarkable progress in the last few years, but it needs to do so much more in strengthening three pillars—good governance, financial inclusion and infrastructure investments—to sustain its growth story, Ayala Land Inc. chair Fernando Zobel de Ayala said.
Speaking before the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (Finex) recently, Zobel de Ayala said while the platform of anti-corruption and good governance had unleashed so much growth, led to so much confidence in business and brought access to so many products, much more would have to be done to support the country's economic agenda.
"Our major indicators and economic drivers remain solid amid the global slowdown and the political and fundamental headwinds that beset some of our peers in the region," Zobel de Ayala said.
The country's improvement in competitiveness rankings is welcome news, but work still needs to be done in cutting bureaucracy and improving efficiency, specifically in key processes such as starting a business, registering property, getting credit and protecting investors, he said.
"Currently, starting a business in the Philippines entails a grueling 15 procedures spanning over 35 days. In contrast, Malaysia only requires three steps spanning six days," Zobel de Ayala said.
Moving forward, he said, it is imperative that the current momentum of structural and governance reforms that the current administration has put in place be continued.
"The highest standards of governance must be maintained and reform measures must be continued in the next administration if we want to sustain our growth momentum," he said.
"Beyond the country's governance structure, it is likewise imperative that enterprises create and enforce stronger ethical standards in the governance of business. This will go a long way in building investor confidence which, as we all know, translates to tangible benefits such as lower cost of capital, better valuations and ultimately, sustained growth."
While local publicly listed companies have made significant strides in corporate governance in recent years, he said, Southeast Asian peers have improved as well, thus putting corporate Philippines well behind Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
On financial inclusion, Zobel de Ayala said the country would not be able to achieve sustainability or become a truly progressive country unless it could pull a much larger segment of the country from poverty and ensure broader based development.
"It is unacceptable that over 70 percent of Filipinos do not have access to any form of saving or lending mechanisms. It is equally discouraging to note that 40 percent of municipalities in the Philippines do not have any physical access to a bank," he said.
"It is worth noting that some innovative credit and microfinance solutions are gaining traction, leveraging technology to make basic banking transactions accessible to these segments of the population. But much more needs to be done so that a larger percentage of our population has access to basic financial products and services."
Meanwhile, Zobel de Ayala said the Philippines can not expect to continue to grow at this pace without a massive increase in infrastructure expenditure, which would in turn entail collaborative efforts between the government and private sector.

Watch Artist Joe Fenton Paint Mark Tremonti's PRS Guitar
Graphic artist Joe Fenton paints a stunning custom PRS for Mark Tremonti.
Curated Content
When Mark Tremonti, PRS signature artist and world-acclaimed heavy metal guitarist of Alter Bridge and Creed, approached Joe Fenton and commissioned the artist to decorate his first-ever guitar, the result was a one-of-a-kind PRS guitar masterpiece that looks as badass as it sounds.
About Joe Fenton
Joe Fenton is a London based artist who works mainly in monochrome. His large drawings are produced using graphite, ink and acrylics on paper.
Joe's art work is influenced by many of the early surrealists. Embracing the grotesque by his employment of Hieronymus Bosch like figures that are gangly, writhing and cramped. Joe also uses motifs that suggest Eastern philosophy and Middle Eastern architecture whilst maintaining a feel for European Baroque and Rococo with complex frame ornamentation and plant like details. A common theme in all his works which recurs again and again is that of death and the fear of death. The fanciful and even freakish nature of his images seem to spring from the need to distance himself from the fear while at the same time acknowledging it.
Prior to his decision to commit full time to his personal works, Joe had two children's books published, as author and illustrator which have won various awards. Joe has also worked for several years as a special effects sculptor and designer for motion pictures. He has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Sculpture from the Wimbledon Art School.

Africa Needs Servant –Leaders to Reverse the Slide of the Continent -FUTA Don
Friday, December 6, 2019 6:02 pm
Rev. Fr. Michael Adedeji a Professor of Cultural Philosophy and Clinical Pastoral Education at the Department of General Studies, Federal University of Technology Akure
A University don has bemoaned the leadership style of those holding the levers of political power in Africa and particularly Nigeria, saying it is faulty, questionable and against the principle of servant leadership. Rev. Fr. Michael Adedeji a Professor of Cultural Philosophy and Clinical Pastoral Education at the Department of General Studies, Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA made this disclosure while delivering his valedictory lecture with the title , Leadership is Stewardship" at the main auditorium of the University on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019. He said African leaders' dishonesty and ineptitude could be located in the areas of monetary mismanagement, fraud, and mismanagement of common or national resources, stealing, misappropriation of funds and the likes. Adedeji said it has become common knowledge that fraudulent practices among the leaders of Africa have become major factors responsible for lack of development in African states. He said African leaders serve themselves rather than the people.
Professor Adedeji emphasized the need for stewardship in leading and said "at its most basic level stewardship is acting upon the understanding that leadership is a temporary role which is outlasted by the life span of an organization. A steward leader is to promote the wellbeing of individuals in his group while the working environment should be comfortable and enhance happiness of all." He encouraged African leaders to rise to their responsibilities by seeing leadership as stewardship. He said "it is high time African leaders became steward of the people and use their leadership for the growth of African people and at the same time for progressive development of African nations."
Adedeji, a Fellow of Strategic Institute for Natural Resources and Human Development (FRHD) gave a list of attributes of steward-leadership to include: accessibility, persuasion, delegation, strength, healing, influence, fairness, change, growth, praise, empowerment, assertiveness, conceptualization, consistency and authenticity. He urged all leaders to be humble, gentle, simple, truthful, honest, sincere, trustworthy, obedient and accountable. Professor Adedeji also said anyone who is to be given the position of leadership should have his/her family in good standing in the community. He said "a money-monger, a womanizer, a merciless and heartless person who has no consideration for others is not fit for steward-leadership". He particularly appealed to Nigerian politicians to see leadership as a gift and call to serve. "Political leadership is not 'do or die' as many Nigerian leaders think. Rather, it is meant for national survival. Whoever has the notion of leadership as something to be achieved with the spirit of do or die should not be appointed or elected" he added.
Adedeji further said leadership demands the courage to initiate cultural evolution that will register a progressive change. "Leadership is the ability to inspire people to make a change for better ways of life. It is an art or process by which an individual skillfully mobilizes people to work towards a common vision with enthusiasm and aspirations. Leadership is the ability to translate and interpret a common vision into reality" the Reverend father said. Highlighting skills of a leader he said "leadership entails the will power, knowledge and effort to persuade followers by personal example to achieve a common goal. Leadership is the capacity to bring into being new reality by sparking a community into peaceful unity and freely willed action." Professor Adedeji while welling on God's purpose for human creation, said leadership is not about popularity or prominence, but rather about purpose, significance and integrity of service, service for the greater glory of God and for the common good of humanity.
The Chairman at the occasion and Vice Chancellor, Professor Joseph Fuwape represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic, Professor Deji Ogunsemi congratulated Professor Adedeji and described him as an erudite scholar who has made significant contributions to the body of knowledge in his chosen area of study and research. He said the don has served meritoriously in many administrative capacities in the university either as Chairman or member of School and University committees.


Before we go into the details per wave, I would like to introduce a practical way to understand the process of ascension waves and their magnitude. They also follow mathematical patterns. In order to make this very visual, I'd like to use the model of "Diffusion of Innovations" by Everett Rogers, a professor for communications. This model is usually used in marketing and PR to understand and address target groups better and how they align with a product life cycle, when an innovation is introduced to the market. The model follows the statistical bell pattern. There is a small percentage of "first movers" or "innovators" (2.5 per cent) that are the ones desperately waiting for the next innovation to come out. They are embracing change and the new as the most exciting thing. They are willing to take risks and test the unknown without any guarantee of a certain outcome. They pave the way for others to follow. They are wayshowers and leaders. The innovators are followed by the "early adopters" a second, a bit larger percentage (with 13.5 percent). They are excited about everything new as soon as it has been proven to work by the innovators and then love to follow these new trends full hearted. They often take leadership positions as well. The next typology category is the "Early Majority". That is when a product is already produced in masses. The early majority follows the innovators and early adopters, as they have proven and tested that the product is worth buying. They trust that new trend and/or change after having read and learned enough about it. They represent a big portion with 34.5 percent. Just as large as the portion of the "Late Majority". Those are the one's in general hesitant with innovations and change. They love to stay in their comfort zone as long as possible before the technological and social pressure gets too high, so they will feel the need to adapt in order to still be able to keep up. They are followed by the "Laggards" – the ones that will only change their behaviour when circumstances force them to (for example because no one is selling video tapes anymore, so they are forced to change to a DVD player). The chart shows them with a portion of 16 per cent. But to be completely correct, there is another group: Those that will never adapt. They will be another 2.5 per cent, which gives the laggards 13.5 per cent. To complete the picture: The yellow line in the chart is the market share, meaning the growth of product availability.
As we are talking about frequencies, is there any way to project ourselves to a particular targeted frequency? For example, if I knew the frequency of unconditional love, would it be possible to reach it some way or another, e.g. when sleeping?
By doing so, we would be able to enter in resonance and experience a fabulous amount of love energy, right?
Or shall we first go through the removal of our chakras, change our food diet,etc… sorry, but everything seems to evolve so slowly!
Always remember to keep a POSITIVE MIND – you can up the frequencies this way.
I do, I do dear Merryl… my question was more technical.
Everything in the universe is vibration, including love.
Now, how love is conveyed? Basically two energies are involved, gravity energy and photons (light).
In a pyramid, and this has been scientifically proven, its shape would attract gravity energy which will rotate, spin, creating a vortex of photons. This same principle applies to free energy.
My question is: can we direct this vortex to a particular place, e.g. unconditional love dimension, and how?
I am an early adopter according to your description which fits accurately with what I've been going through over many very difficult years since i woke up. I was in tears reading this blog because you gave me the knowing that im almost to the higher energies and a magical life. I really needed to read this today! thank you and bless you so much!!
My cat Spot is a rescue cat that I saved hours before his scheduled euthanized time he was 6 weeks old. I came into the Animal Control Center to get my first family pet. Originally I came in to check on a 2 year old cat that's owner had give up because she couldn't keep her in her new home. I went in and I this spunky little kitten every time I passed him by he tried to grab me. I looked at him and thought he'll be ok he's too cute some one will save him. I came back the next day to get the older cat. Then I saw the kitten and he looked lethargic and withdrawn as if gave in to his fate. Just then I knew he was mine and I was his. This little man just barely began his life. I told the officer this was my cat. He tried to tell me he is to sick and was scheduled for being euthanized. I was blessed with. a little money I said this guy is coming home with me and I will save him. I bottled fed him nursing him back to health three days ago he snuck out the door he's been an indoor cat his whole life. So I contacted everyone in the planet I knew. I have reached my friends from all over the world asking them to pray in their traditional way and asked The American Indians work their sacred Medicine. The last Three days He created a worldwide prayer chain uniting many different Faiths and we all reached the same Creator and has proven that we are all connected together. We come from all ends of the earth and yet we are brothers and sisters of our heavenly Creator perfect of image and sacred. This was a miracle. We united as one for the welfare of another of Gods sacred child a little feline named Spot. You're all a part of that miracle. This is a profound lesson to me. If one cat can inspire so many to pray regardless of their differences in Faith imagine what we could do through our Creator as a whole planet.
Wow, what a great framework and inspiration for continued growth – thanks a lot for sharing!
Amazing article Vera, spot on.
Very nice and comprehensive overview, Vera!
Neutrality still feels a bit strange, sort of like I lost motivation but in a peaceful way. I either sleep 12+ hours or not at all it seems and it cracks me up that I sometimes don't even remember if it was me who said something a moment ago or someone else.
I feel like this blog was walking alongside of me, holding my hand during a big part of this process, thanks for that and for letting us be part of your story too.
Thank you SO MUCH dear Vera! So beautiful! So inspiring! So helpful and just on time!Lots of love for you!
Absolutely EXCELLENT article which will help many. Thank you.
Thank you! I love the way you break this down! I am a tiny bit confused though. I am a Volunteer, i.e. the 3 waves of volunteers. You mention Not to confuse the ascension waves with the 3 waves of volunteers. So are we experience all this differently or do we fall in as well with First Movers, Early Adapters, etc.???
I feel like I'm between First Movers and Early Adopters, I can relate to both still. Is that possible?
I'm a first waver and this is very accurate.
Thanks you very much for your work !
Such a great article. Thank you for identifying these waves so that we can see ourselves within the larger context of shifts that are occurring. Very reassuring!
I have been aware for some time that the energies of the cosmos were changing, having accepted along time ago that being a conscious individual one with the Universe, Nature, planet earth, the cosmos, linked Spiritually through everything, it was only a matter of time before the energies of all existence would eventually change to linked me with everything on all levels.
WOW i am really feeling dazed and ,lost right now and feel a little depressed not feeling i have the energy to rush or do anything that is big .. let go is my message surrender to the infinate wisdom all is good… i must walk my talk as a earth angels its very hard to be here at present moment the enrgy is dense and i cant cope with it but i remind myself this to shall pass.
I still feel a bit like an Early Adopter, with sudden intense anxiety attacks, longing to exit, feeling inadequate and lost/lonely. But other times I can identify with the First Mover description. It's a confusing time!
Just wanted to let you know I feel exactly the same way, teetering between the Early Adopter and First Mover categories. No real insight I am just going with it, aiming for the First Mover frequency when at all possible!
Absolutely wonderful insightful reading. Thank you for sharing. Happy to pay it forward.
Why can we persive the thoughts,feelings ,emotions, and even dreams of someone who is ascending?We are able to control the person's actions?
What is the purpose of all that?
Thank you so much – explains a lot – having a rough time with the physical at the moment – can anyone say how long this is going on for?
Thanks for this article Vera, it is the best article I have seen so far on the different waves and groups of people based on their current level of awareness/awakeness. I found it very useful and helpful and will share a link to it on Facebook.
I started the ascension August 26,1999. Got married, became the false parent. I'm born 10-14-80, I call election baby. Is the process of elections 4 years based on change? I was what seemed like hiding for protection until October 14,2017 when the interstellar object, spacecraft unofficially lol and I completely went information crazy for a week, quit my job and I completely broke down all the negative barriers. I have a very stable high frequency. I'm clairvoyant, but some of the voices tried to trick me into offering money for services or misinformation. I studied Greek Alphabet, the higher intelligents gave me a simple formula, Alpha and omega signs intertwined, it's a upside down heart. That interstellar object came from Lyra in the Vega constilation, which is what the Greek worshipped. So one of the firsts things that came to me was 100 people in my head to shut my mouth, then they said we are all Jesus Christ, separate but connected. When I was in transformation I completed it by saying "pull the plug" because I could feel the trees dying, air pollution, food impurities. Let's awake the rest. I have a great way since all sleepers like Television, I have a great brainawakening movie that will make them question everything.
Thanks for your analytically interesting article.
In your opinion, what percentage of the population ( based of course on where you reside) do you think is 'not adapting', just not 'getting it'? …. Because where I stay, it seems really, really high!


Search has been a mainstay of knowledge management since the discipline was first defined, but is not yet a perfect technology. Users want search to be simple and yet precise, a balance that can be difficult to attain. "The main issue is relevance," says Leslie Owens, an analyst at Forrester. "People may make the same general query, but don't all want the same information as output. It's hard for any technology to match up the users' information needs with all the possible results."
Features that allow user ratings, voting or comments add a new dimension to search. "The premise is that the past behavior of like-minded searchers—'the crowd'—will help you find the right answer," says Owens. "It works well for the top queries, but less so for unique or obscure information needs."
Semantic search is oriented toward discerning meaning in content to produce relevant results, but requires groundwork to function well. Organizations that spend time analyzing their content and establishing metadata are able to leverage their intellectual capital more effectively. "With semantic search, unified access is a primary objective, to be able to treat both structured and unstructured information across silos," Owens says. "The source of the information is transparent, and analytics are used to bring out key ideas on which taxonomies can be built."
Mercer provides human resource consulting and related services in 40 countries throughout the world and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, a professional services firm specializing in risk, strategy and human capital management. To harness its collective expertise, Mercer began looking for an enterprise search solution that would have the precision and versatility that the company needed.
As of 2009, Mercer had several search solutions in place, but they were not meeting the needs of Mercer's professional staff. "We have exceptional intellectual capital," says Marcia Robinson, global leader for knowledge management at Mercer, "but our colleagues can't use it with our clients if they can't find it." The ultimate goal was to have a system in place that allowed users to quickly access relevant information through a single interface that provided targeted search and the ability to conduct discovery research, no matter where the information was located.
Mercer formed a project team that included its knowledge management group and the IT department to carry out a formal evaluation of enterprise search products. The team gathered user requirements from business groups throughout the company and, after reviewing the capabilities of available search solutions, narrowed the options to five contenders. From that group, the team selected two finalists, and provided the vendors with a standard configuration of servers and an identical set of documents to index. Mercer employees who were familiar with the content tested each system, which underwent further vetting by the IT department and a comparison of costs.
When the evaluation process was completed, Sinequa emerged as the best match for Mercer's requirements, because it provided excellent relevancy, utilizing keywords as well as faceted navigation. Sinequa was simpler to configure and customize than other products, and was competitively priced. Haroon Suleman, enterprise search architect at Mercer, says, "We liked the combination of Sinequa's ability to retrieve information precisely based on search terms, and to provide faceted navigation for in-depth research."
As the Sinequa enterprise search system, which Mercer is calling "Pinpoint," was implemented, Mercer's team worked closely with Sinequa to review the metadata contained in the initial group of documents to be incorporated, and to integrate it with its "People Directory," a database of employee profiles. When the initial implementation was completed, the system had indexed 40 million documents. "Our users can narrow a search from 40,000 documents to 20 in just a few clicks," Suleman says. "This has provided us the rapid retrieval of high-value content that we were hoping for."
The integration of the People Directory allows linking of people to content through metadata. "If the author field for a document maps against an employee, those are linked and presented in the search results," Suleman explains. "In addition, Pinpoint can detect the individual's online presence and launch our instant messaging application." The integration of knowledgeable employees is important because it allows Pinpoint to locate not just documents but also corporate expertise for project staffing, and to tie it to digital intellectual capital.
At present, Pinpoint searches documents on Mercer's intranet and file servers in Europe. They include Microsoft Office documents, a Livelink repository and SharePoint files. Future work will look to incorporate other high-value content sources such as client and project.
Much of the success of the Sinequa system can be attributed to the effective teamwork between knowledge management and IT groups. "Our knowledge management group took on the challenge of understanding user needs and communicating them to the IT department," says Robinson. For the search project, knowledge management also provided communication, training, support and development of policies related to knowledge sharing, and collects feedback about system use for continuous improvement.
Another key element of the implementation was the understanding of Mercer's corporate content and how users wanted to access it. "In cooperation with our users, we developed a core taxonomy that covered major topics such as the geographical market or topical issue to which a document related," says Barbara Fiorillo, global content manager in the knowledge management function. "Without taxonomy, our users would have to struggle through a long list of results that was much less precise." A list of categories to the side of the results allows users to drill down into areas of interest.
Through careful consideration of its strategic goals and a systematic approach to implementation, Mercer has moved closer to realizing a comprehensive enterprise search system. Pinpoint has already achieved the hoped-for goal of integrating disparate repositories of information. "Search is the glue across our knowledge systems," Suleman explains, "allowing our users to access information quickly, easily and securely. As we expand the amount of searchable content, Pinpoint will become even more effective."
Sinequa was established in 1984 as a private research lab working in the area of linguistics, out of which grew an enterprise search solution focused on extracting meaning from a rich, semantic-based index. "Sinequa is designed to present information in a contextually significant manner," says Alexandre Bilger, CEO of Sinequa. "The goal is to produce a short list of highly relevant results for a given user rather than a big list that the user will have to sort through."
Part of relevancy comes from understanding who the user is. "Relevance for each group of people is different," Bilger says. "Presenting information in a contextual manner, depending on whether the individual is in the R&D department or sales, for example, makes it much more useful." R&D is a common entry point for Sinequa customers, particularly in large firms, because no one may have a complete view of all R&D projects and all of the subjects dealt with across the company. "Organizations can find synergies among different projects," Bilger adds, "and teams of people who have already worked on a problem, rather than starting from scratch."
Some of the traditional ways of organizing information are no longer useful, according to Bilger. "If people are spending a lot of time putting their e-mails into categories, it is a waste," he maintains. "It's much better to apply a search engine and generate the categories on the fly in particular, since these categories change over time." Because Sinequa provides a platform for content analytics, multiple applications can be built to generate different categorizations based on the same information. "With a custom classification system, multiple views are possible that are highly responsive to each user's needs," Bilger says.
The plethora of search options makes selection difficult, especially for companies that have more than one type of search need. SharePoint users can stick with FAST, open source (see sidebar on next online page) is expanding as an option, and Google's search appliance provides yet another alternative. Several vendors have focused on developing embedded search applications within functional areas such as CRM.
"One technology cannot meet all types of search requirements," says Iain Fletcher, VP for marketing at Search Technologies. "Users should consider carefully what their needs are, and gear their choice toward the top priorities." In addition, they should learn enough to set their expectations realistically. "Some of the disappointment in search comes from not understanding the technology or their own requirements well enough."
Although customers are drawn to the "plug and play" approach for its speed and ease of implementation, product selection should be matched to the application. "In many cases, plug and play can be tweaked and the customer is all set within just a week or so," Fletcher notes. "These tend to be point applications for websites or relatively simple intranets." For complex enterprise search applications, more preparation is required.
Search Technologies implements search solutions, and spends a large proportion of its time helping customers prepare for the implementation. "When an organization has 20 different data sets, it needs a management system in place to normalize the data and obtain a consistent level of content cleanliness," Fletcher explains. "And a lot of our work is geared toward generating good metadata." In some industries, such as pharma, the need for metadata is anticipated and provided for, while in others, the need is discovered somewhat after the fact. "Search navigators, one of the most powerful tools in search technology, rely on metadata," Fletcher emphasizes. "So without metadata, search precision is limited."


Since we've had the unofficial "end of summer" weekend, I thought this would be an appropriate post to share. I wrote this post, titled "Back to Normal", last summer when all my teacher friends were getting ready to start the school year, and I truly felt that I was no longer JUST on maternity leave anymore - I had made the move from teacher to stay at home mom. Now I've officially resigned from the district and I know I'm not going back.
This year things are obviously a little different. Madison starts preschool next week, and both girls have activities that started with the new school year. In addition, now I've officially resigned from the district and I know I'm not going back.
Still, felt like an appropriate time to share this post from my archives. Enjoy!
It's back to school time. I can tell because most of my friends are teachers, and my Facebook feed has been clogged with posts about setting up classrooms, counting down days, making the most of the last week of summer, having bizarre school starting dreams, and the like.
I was in that room for nine years and have no pictures of my room. And I LOVED my room. That's kind of sad.

Q: Representability of sets of infinite sequences sharing common prefixes and factors (i.e. infixes) Here we are concerned with the space $X^{\omega}$ of infinite sequences. Denote by $F_n(\xi)$
the set of factors (consecutive finite subsequences) of length $n$ and consider the set
$$
 K_n(\xi) = \xi[1\ldots n] \cdot X^{\omega} \cap \{ \eta \in X^{\omega} : F_n(\eta) = F_n(\xi) \}
$$
of all words which share with $\xi$ the first $n$ symbols and all factors of length $n$. Then I want to show that there does not exists a finite number of sets $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_m$ which represent these sets in the sense that for every $\xi$ and $n$ every set $K_n(\xi)$ could be written in the form $w \cdot X_i$
for some $i$ and some $w\in X^*$, i.e. for each $K_n(\xi)$ there is some $i$ and a finite sequence $w$ with
$$
 K_n(\xi) = w \cdot X_i.
$$
I tried to prove that a finite number is not enough, but run out of ideas. Any ideas or suggestions? (A note which might be helpful, the $K_n(\xi)$ are $\omega$-regular sets, meaning there exists a finite automaton accepting them, and so contain an ultimately periodic infinite sequence, and two such sets are equal if they coincide in all there ultimately periodic sequences)

A: If I get your question right, you are given an infinite word $\xi$ of $X^\omega$ and a fixed integer $n$. Let $p$ be the prefix of length $n$ of $\xi$ and let $F$ be the set of all infixes of length $n$ of $\xi$. Let
$$
  K = \{ \eta \in X^\omega \mid F_n(\eta) = F\}
$$
Then $K$ is $\omega$-regular and
$$
K_n(\xi) = pX^\omega \cap K = p(p^{-1}K)
$$
where $p^{-1}K$ is the $\omega$-regular set $\{\eta \mid p\eta \in K \}$.
Now, for a fixed $n$ and a finite alphabet $X$, there are only finitely many possible values for $p$ and for $F$ (and hence for $K$ and $p^{-1}K$).

Though relatively new to HubPages, Head of Product Micki Seibel has been making big and splendid changes to our site. When chatting in the Forums, Micki is usually fielding questions about design changes and tests, but there is much more to this HubPages staff member (and impressive food Hubber) than new Hub designs! Check out Micki's answers to Hubber questions to learn more about her background, motivation, and philosophy.
No. In most cases, hearing no feedback is a sign of a job well done because the Hubbers that don't like something will always say so!
What motivates you to do the things you do for HubPages?
My professional mission in life is to use technology to improve the lives of millions of people. It's why I came to Silicon Valley in 1996. It's why I worked for Netscape on the web browser back in the day (bringing the Internet to the masses). It's why I ran Product Management at eBay in its early days (democratizing the exchange of goods), and why I've done the start-up companies that I have. HubPages is a continuation of that mission: using the internet to enable writers to find an audience, and enabling readers to find and engage with what you write (democratizing the exchange of knowledge).
I can't thank you enough for asking this question and giving me the chance to show you Kisha-pups. 🙂 Although Norah and Ari sometimes bring their dogs to work, our most regular office dog is Kisha. She's my 11 year old Belgian Sheepdog/Chow mix. She and I walk to the office (30 minutes one way) 3 or 4 days a week to keep her fit. I adopted her from the Humane Society when she was 5 months old. In fact, here's a picture of Kisha under my desk at HubPages HQ.
Excellent question. The goal at HubPages is to provide a platform for you to write and find an audience. That's always been our goal and it's not going to change. What changes from 1 year to 5 years (or even from 5 years ago when we started) is *how* to fulfill that.
Traffic growth. Search engine optimization is always an ongoing part of that, but also looking at other methods such as social media and mobile optimization.
Content Growth. How to keep you engaged in writing, working on features to make the site easier, and looking at ways to give you inspiration to write content where we are lacking in it.
Actually, we are neither. Let me explain.
We don't have set hours that everyone works. Our company culture is very supportive of letting employees create their own work schedules, and we are allowed to work from home when we need. We're definitely not a culture of late night workaholics. A lot of people have families, and everyone seems to have interesting extracurricular activities and interests.
It works well for us because…and I really do mean this honestly when I say it…we have a great team that is very good at what they do, passionate about it, and that makes them effective. I've worked at several high profile Internet companies over the years, and I definitely think that the team here at HubPages is one of the best with which I've ever worked. Everything gets done that needs to get done…and quickly. At the same time, I can still cook dinner, play tennis, and travel: my passions.
Every day. I don't always get to comment on what I read, but I at least leave a Hub Feedback on good ones. I follow the Food & Cooking, Tennis, Travel & Places, and Dogs Topics, specifically.
Traffic Growth. This is continued work on search engine optimization as well as better integration with social media.
Brand and engaging readers. Updating our brand and site design to better engage readers. If they start to remember who we are, they will pick us in search and that help traffic growth. This is why you are seeing the design of the site change: the header, the new slideshow player, the new Hub design testing. Coming later this year are the User Profile and Topics pages.
Content Growth. Engaging writers such as yourselves to create more, great content–especially in areas where we are lacking in it. This helps more readers find us, choose HubPages in search, share the content with their networks, and remember to come back to HubPages–all of which supports traffic growth.
And traffic growth = audience for your content.
Tennis. I've been an athlete my whole life, but tennis is my primary passion. I've been playing since I was 12, played a bit in college, and now play competitive USTA league tennis. I've written a couple of Tennis Hubs. I've even attended each of the 4 Grand Slams of Tennis (some of them, like the Australian Open, more than once).
We have several traditions. They aren't specific to Fridays, though. We always have team lunch on Thursdays. That's been great because it's the one day that everyone who works for HubPages is sure to be in the office! We have fresh coffee from Peet's made every morning. Sometimes we do Wednesday dinners.
Casual day? Ha! That's every day.
Sometimes it's because I'm working on something that needs fast turnaround and there's a lot of feedback coming from Hubbers (for example, the Hub redesigns in Fashion and Technology).
Sometimes it's because I left work early to play tennis. Ok, truth be told, it's often it's because I split up my work day and head out early to play tennis then work again after dinner.
Micki, I am glad you are on the HubPages team. I appreciate your willingness to communicate with us to keep us informed about changes, and more importantly, also the thought process behind them. That goes a long way in showing that there is thought process behind the changes, and not something that is simply thrown at Hubbers. Kisha is so cute!
Great interview. It's obvious from your past work experiences and the site-wide HubPages changes, that you certainly have the expertise to meet the mission of helping us writers find an audience. I love how the culture at HP headquarters is mutually beneficial to the staff and the company as a whole. I would be willing to bet you are better at your job because you can play tennis midday if you desire and not worry about Kisha at home. I'm looking forward to seeing all the future changes coming our way. I know improving data is your "pat on the back" but I just wanted to add my thanks too.
I think HP must be very happy to have you on their team. Your knowledge, experience and dedication shows in your work and your willingness to listen to the many voices which make up the HP community. I like the sound of the HP company culture. It would certainly be an incentive to be a supportive employee when a company supports it's employees various lifestyles and needs.
Love the pic of Kisha. She's lucky to be able to hang out with you at work! Keep up the great job. I love the new site design.
It's been great getting to know all 3 of you in the forums over the site changes, and I appreciate your wonderful and supportive comments here as well.
Kisha could not be any cuter! So glad to know HP headquarters is still filled with canine love. Anyway, great to get to know you a bit better, Micki.
I haven't been here very long but personally I'm grateful for the excellence of opportunities at HubPages. I've been so busy tweaking my profile, reading and commenting and getting my first several Hubs published, I didn't really have time to think about that. Reading your interview made me feel it. Grateful.
It's obvious even without reading the blog that HP has put together a fine team. This puts another face on it for me.

New Smithsonian Project Puts Engineering on Display on the National Mall

More than half of the 409,000-sq-ft building is located below ground. The space will house a four-level history gallery, a theater and a 30-ft-high mechanical room.
A historic railcar was lowered into the museum's subterranean spaces while the building was under construction.
The Smithsonian's new National Museum of African-American History and Culture sits on a five-acre site on the National Mall, adjacent to the Washington Monument. More than 350,000 cu yd of mixed soil were excavated for the project.
The building's facade support was completed before setting the glass and aluminum panels so that its stability and integrity would be maintained.
Engineering News Record
As he looks at the asymmetrical convergence of concrete beams and a column that helps support the Smithsonian Institution's new National Museum of African-American History and Culture, now under construction in Washington, D.C., Brian Flegel, Clark Construction group senior vice president, sees a reflection of the varied challenges the project team faced carrying out the entire job.
"Just imagine the process of planning and sequencing required to accurately frame the formwork; engineer and detail the rebar; and then have the elements placed precisely as specified," says Flegel, whose Bethesda, Md.-based company is constructing the $365-million, 409,000-sq-ft building with joint venture partners Smoot Construction, Washington, D.C., and H.J. Russell & Co., Atlanta.
To Flegel, the intricate coupling of concrete and steel illustrates the multifaceted planning, technical and logistical demands posed by creating a multipurpose facility on a piece of the most prominent real estate in the U.S., the National Mall.
The striking exterior, created by a 24-consultant team led by Durham, N.C.-based Freelon/Adjaye/Bond/SmithGroup, calls for the museum's 103-ft-high, 200-ft-sq above-grade box to be clad with a three-tier facade of glass and cast aluminum panels. Known as the Corona, this element was inspired by traditional African architecture.
Representing 400 years of the African-American experience, the museum, scheduled to be completed in 2016, will provide space for historical objects, art, education and performances. The museum was designed with more than half of its floor space below grade to keep the building's height consistent with other Mall museums and because of its proximity to the Washington Monument.
Construction began in spring 2013 with excavation of more than 350,000 cu yd of mixed soil. That created space for a 70-ft-deep, 95,000-sq-ft footprint for a four-level history gallery; a theater; and a 30-ft high, 45,000-sq-ft mechanical room. An adjacent 45,000-sq-ft footprint was excavated to a depth of 32 ft for the museum's loading dock and support services. Both have 42-in.-thick concrete mat slab foundations. The smaller area is augmented with 500 tie-down piles to resist hydraulic uplift.
As an extra measure to protect the building from the hydrostatic pressures of a perched aquifer located just 12 ft below the surface, a 32-in.-thick cutoff wall forms a perimeter for the museum's 6.25-ft-thick concrete foundation walls. "During construction, we had to be sure the sitework didn't disrupt the hydrology of the surrounding area," Flegel says. "Piezometers were installed and monitored in conjunction with several permanent monitoring points around the [neighboring] Washington Monument. We recorded no major change in subsurface conditions."
As the building's subgrade structural system took shape, the tower cranes that daily transferred equipment and materials took time out to deliver the museum's first exhibits—a historic Pullman railcar and a prison guard tower. The 88-ft-long, 80-ton railcar and the 21-ft-tall, 14-ft-deep tower were too large to add after the building was completed, so instead the museum is being constructed around them. It took three years of planning to synchronize the railcar's restoration with preparation of its permanent display area.
On Nov. 17, 2013, two 550-ton cranes worked in tandem to lift the artifacts and lower them into the museum. The railcar was set on a cribbing structure adjacent to a specially prepared support slab. Once in place, the artifacts were cocooned inside protective panels until the subsurface construction is complete.
To keep the museum's lobby column-free and minimize the number of columns in the galleries, the above-grade floors are supported by four steel frame core towers with 10- to 16-in.-thick, cast-in-place concrete infill walls that rise from pile-supported ring footings within the foundations. Deep steel plate girders and steel trusses run between—and cantilever from—the cores, which contain elevators, stairways and vertical routing of mechanical systems.

Alabama teacher arrested for sex with student days after wife arrested on same charge
Published: Mar. 30, 2016, 10:20 p.m.
Jonathan Grass
Another Pickens Academy teacher is in the county jail on the same charge his wife was arrested for two days ago.
James Parker (Pickens Academy Facebook page)
The Pickens County Sheriff's Office confirms James "Jamie" Franklin Parker, 32, was arrested Wednesday. He is charged with a school employee having sex with a student under the age of 19. Parker teaches math and coaches basketball and football, according to the private school's website and the Alabama Independent School Association.
Pickens County District Attorney Chris McCool said the arrest is the result of an ongoing investigation by the Pickens County Sheriff's Office. The victim in this case is a former female student. McCool said none of the criminal sexual activity occurred at the school.
McCool expects more charges to be filed against Parker on Thursday. The investigation is still ongoing.
Authorities confirm he is married to Charli Jones Parker, who was arrested on the same charge Monday. She also teaches at Pickens Academy and is head coach for the girls' basketball team. She is accused of having sex with a male student.
"The incidents involving the husband and wife are separate and unrelated in place and manner of commission," said McCool.
Charli Parker
Pickens Academy Headmaster Brach White issued the following statement to AL.com:
"The safety and wellbeing of our students is and always will be our top priority. We are obviously shocked and dismayed by this allegation and will be working to support all of our students and families in coping with this news. The employee will be suspended immediately and further action may be taken upon investigation. Unfortunately, these events have been a distraction from the many great things that take place at Pickens Academy. I request continued prayers for our school family and for all those involved."
The charge of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student less than 19 years old is a Class B felony. McCool said it carries a potential sentence of two to 20 years in prison.


Does Shaiva or Shakta Agamas believe on Dashavatar of lord Vishnu? If yes is there any difference in references? If Yes what all differences are there?
My question rises because according to Agama there is only one supreme God, in that case existence of lord Vishnu could have only happened if it were lord Shiva will.
The Todala Tantram, which is a ShAkta Agama, talks about the 10 AvatAras of Lord Vishnu. The text also equates one MahAvidyA deity with one AvatAra.
The last chapter equates Vishnu's ten incarnations with the ten Mahavidyas. Durga is the Kalki, the last of the avatars of Vishnu. He is yet to come, and when he does he will be born in Shambhala. He will ride a white horse and hold a sword which blazes like fire, bringing back to the planet harmony, according to the Agni and other Puranas. Kali's consort is Krishna.
"Shri Devi said: Lord of gods, guru of the universe, tell me of the ten avatars. Now I want to hear of this, tell me of their true nature. Paramesvara, reveal to me which avatar goes with which Devi.
The page i am quoting from is just an overview of the said Tantram. I will give the Sanskrit verses tomorrow from books. Also, i am not sure about the Shaiva Agamas.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida — A cold-hearted thief who stole a collection jar containing $600 for the family of a 7-year-old girl killed in a stray-bullet shooting, has been arrested, police say.
Tammy Crews, 46, was arrested on Saturday, after getting caught on surveillance video grabbing the donation jar of the counter at Tapatio Restaurant in Jacksonville, shoving it in her bag and swiftly walking out.
The restaurant was collecting money for the family of Heydi Rivas-Villaneuva, who was shot while sitting in a parked car after a gun battle erupted between two men standing on either side of the vehicle.
Police say the restaurant had collected about $600 in donations when Crews nabbed the container.
Once cops posted the surveillance video to Facebook, they were flooded with tips and caught up to Crews the next day, just a few blocks from the restaurant.
After cops began speaking to her, she admitted carrying a crack pipe for which she was detained. Once back at the precinct, she admitted she had stolen the jar and spent much of the cash on drugs.
Three people have been arrested in connection with the little girl's shooting.

First Lady of Ethiopia (Ge'ez: የኢትዮጵያ ቀዳማዊት እመቤት) is a title for the wife of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Prime Minister. Officially the concept of First Lady applied in Ethiopian politics since 1995. Although the first lady's role has never been codified or officially defined, she figures prominently in the political and social life of the nation. However, the role of First Lady is created by her and contributes her unique position to improve women and children's capacity but her contribution has not been known at the broader public realm.

History
In Ethiopian history, the word 'Majesty' was the symbol of royal title that has been referred to a king or Queen. The wife of royal family could share a power with her royal title of 'Queen' which has created alliances among the other side. It means, the name of 'Queen' had recognized by societies and entitled with a power for the wife of a king, then she had a supreme power to advise her husband to sustain and keep a monarchal system from generation to generation (by appoint her son to be a king) such as Queen Eleni, Seble wengel, Mintewab, Empress Taytu. They were contributed their special position to their country as well as the state of subjects. They have passed their legacy to the advancement of Ethiopian women. People has followed them as their leaders equivalent to their king (Tayitu is the best example).

After the annihilated of Monarchal system and substituted by military system (socialism ideology), the wife of Ethiopian leader had not any title for the couple of decades. But after the Transitional government of Ethiopia succeeded, the concept of first lady come alive when the wife of President Negasso Gidida Regina Abelt, citizen of Germany, officially became the First Lady of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in 1995. Uniquely, Regina Abelt was the only person in Ethiopia history to be nominated for a first ladyship regardless of her citizenship and nomination by the behalf of president.

In 2013, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia the Office of the First Lady has established during the reign of the former First Lady Roman Tesfaye. All programs that undertaking by of the office has its significant to the Ethiopian women's empowerment and address the national gender issues.

EU trade chief eyes narrow path for U.S. trade talks
WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The European Union is focused on a narrower trade negotiation with the United States focused on industrial goods, including automobiles, European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said on Thursday one day after talks with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
Malmstrom, who spoke at a Georgetown Law School event, said there is no support in Europe for a full, comprehensive trade agreement with the United States that covers agriculture, and she expects to have a mandate soon to negotiate a agreement on industrial goods.

Home > Indi: On The Edge
by S Mashlan
Indi: On The Edge
First coming to public attention after placing second in the 2012 Smokefree Rockquest comp, Indira Force became part of the NZ alternative music scene during her time as lead singer of Doprah. When NZM caught up with Indi last year, Doprah's debut album 'Wasting' had just been released. Now Indi is stepping into her own light again, this time less mainstream than the first time around, with the dreamlike sound of solo album 'Precipice'. She refers to Doprah as a huge learning curve for her musically, but as Indi tells Sophie Mashlan, she's now focusing firmly on her solo project.
The first single Indi released from her debut solo album was the title track Precipice, which came coupled with an eerie, science fiction-themed video. She's relishing in the complete artistic control she has over her compositions and videos as a solo act, which would be a different experience to her previous band releases.
"Now I have to take full ownership of it as well, which is really scary. I have to take full responsibility, and if someone thinks it's shit I have to be like, 'Yup, that was me who wrote that stuff that you think is shit.'"
Having started degrees in both Fine Arts and Music she understands the links between all artistic outlets and aims to marry the audio and visual, creating a strong, immersive experience to the work as a whole. As an artist as well as an art appreciator, she uses both her own work and the work of some favourite artists for her album.
Indi shifts in her seat as she sheepishly admits that she designed her own art for the single Tablelands and influences the directing of her music videos. The cover art for 'Precipice', a piece by local artist Séraphine Pick, stood out to her as being ideal for the album, after having studied the work at university.
"It just makes so much sense as an album cover. There are a lot of themes in the album which are explored in the painting, like the purveying sense of a natural environment, but it's also very otherworldly", she enthusiastically explains.
Creating the tracks on Reaper, a PC digital audio workstation, Indi used a combination of acoustically recorded and MIDI-input sounds. Matthew Gunn, also of Doprah, engineered the album. Through their past experiences together they already knew they could work well together, and the informal approach helped her feel comfortable in communicating what she wanted.
"He understood my wavelength without me having to say anything. There'd be times where I'd be like, 'Can you make it more…' and he'd already be doing it."
The confidence that her vision would ultimately be the outcome helped her maintain a sense of absolute ownership over 'Precipice'. Drawing her knees up to her chest she muses over how things may have turned out had she worked with another engineer.
"I think if I was in a studio with an engineer I didn't know, I'd feel like I couldn't put my foot down, or that I couldn't really say what I wanted because they might not listen to me. But he is spot on and I'd be really reluctant to work with anyone else as my engineer."
The process of arranging and recording the new material has taken longer than anticipated. However, determined to stick to it and get the music out there, Indi threw herself in the deep end and decided to publish her album tracklist three months before the album's release.
"It's so then people know that the songs are all there and they're written, and they're just in the process of being mixed and being mastered. I wanted people to know that," she explains. This was not only to force herself to commit to the album, but it also served as a way to communicate to her audience.
The resulting music has a very mystical feel to it, which Indi hopes will take the listeners into their own world.
"I want to transport them to a different place, but everything should be left open to interpretation. To me a song is always evolving, it has a life of its own and also the different characters it takes in the people's lives who listen to it since things sound different to everyone."
The instrumentation shares similarities with sounds used in fantasy films and games, her soft, crooning vocals giving the songs an ethereal tone. There are references to fantasy worlds, such as a The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe reference in the title of Cair Paravel. While she hopes it will take on a new meaning to each listener, the title 'Precipice' refers to a time in her life.
"I was on the brink of change… I guess in the years between 19 and 23 you change so much as a person and you feel like something really big is about to happen. 'Precipice' seemed to fit that feeling and a transitional stage."
Typically, Indi juggles more than one musical endeavour at a time, not just her own songwriting, and speaks about plans to make her passion a lifelong career with palpable fervour.
"I'm doing a bit of scoring on the side and I'm really enjoying it. I recently scored a dance performance at Basement Theatre."
In the long run, she aspires to compose for film, which aligns well with her desire to transport listeners to other worlds.
Demonstrating a positive attitude when it comes to her music career, she says she doesn't pay any mind to the pessimism the music industry is facing due to streaming et al. A giggle escapes as she reflects on this.
"I'm a musician – I can't stop just because the world is doomsdaying the industry. It's a weird idea that I would abandon the one thing that I truly love doing because people say you can't earn money in it."
Aligning well with a love for creating visual art, she has proven herself a gifted artistic director. She conceived the idea for her Precipice music video, working with the Candlelit Pictures team to make her concept a reality.
"I created a private Tumblr account of all these images that I've taken for the art direction of it. They used a lot of my ideas."
Released in March, the video was funded with an NZ On Air grant. The video is comprised of close-ups on her face, with special effects makeup, a raised platform, and a group of writhing naked bodies. Laughing and blushing, Indi covers her face as she recalls filming the video.
"Because we were missing one person, one of the directors took his clothes off and started writhing with all of them for the shot!"
As we finish, she takes a second to reflect on the conversation before giggling. "Please omit all of my 'likes' and 'ums', and all my lame jokes."
For the next few weeks, she will be holed up in her room emailing people and promoting the album to her best ability. She has high hopes for 'Precipice'and looks forward to sharing her first major step into a solo career with her audience.

Q: How do you edit the HTML for MediaWiki's Special:UserLogin page in MW 1.28? Previously, there was a class called UserloginTemplate extending BaseTemplate that you were free to copypaste into your own file and use instead in the class loader.
Now, I cannot even find what file this HTML is coming from. I have found includes/specialpage/LoginSignupSpecialPage.php ... but it's Abstract.
abstract class LoginSignupSpecialPage extends AuthManagerSpecialPage {

I have no idea where to begin and any information I can find about this is for older versions of MediaWiki.

A: The process is a little different than before but not too hard.

*

*Create a class for extending the class includes/specials/SpecialUserLogin.php in your extension's directory. I named mine XenForoAuthSpecialUserLogin.php.

*In your new class file, extend SpecialUserLogin as you typically would.
class XenForoAuthSpecialUserLogin extends SpecialUserLogin
Then, overload the method protected function getPageHtml($formHtml) and return the modified HTML you want.

*In your extension's extension.js, add an AutoloadClasses entry for your new class.

*In your LocalSettings.php, add this line to replace the special page with your new class.
$wgSpecialPages['Userlogin'] = [XenForoAuthSpecialUserLogin::class];
Beware! Although all references use UserLogin, this key (and the page URL) is Userlogin with a lowercase L.

*You should now see your changes.

A: Use the AuthChangeFormFields hook. See the documentation of HTMLForm on what kind of changes you can do. Note that for any change to what kind of data can be submitted (e.g. a new form field), you need to write a provider, but if you just want to add extra text or such, you can add info fields via the hook.


JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. (AFNS) -- As if by fate, a weather delay in Germany allowed a group of reservists to embark on a challenging 22-and-a-half-hour mission to help save a fellow service member.
When severe weather delayed a C-17 aircrew from the 315th Airlift Wing heading home to Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina was delayed in Germany Nov. 3, the crew was asked to take on an emergency mission transporting a burn patient to Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas.
The Soldier was transported from Hungary to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, by an Air Force aeromedical evacuation team and was destined for the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research Burn Center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
According to the Daily News Hungary, "an American soldier was electrocuted at the Ferencváros railway station when he climbed up to a cargo train transporting combat vehicles." The article states there was an electrical line carrying 25,000 volts above the train's cargo, potentially causing the incident. The Hungarian National Health Service also gave details of the incident, "40 percent of the man's body suffered second and third degree burns. What is more, he seemed to have broken his femur," said Pál Győrfy, spokesperson for the organization.
During the flight, the C-17 was scheduled to do an aerial refueling so it could continue to San Antonio without stopping, said Conner.
Both Conner and Chianella also credited the crew's teamwork in making the mission a success.
"I was very proud of the entire crew. I didn't do anything special, the crew just did what they do and made this mission happen," explained Connor.

Ethernet is the most commonly used method with which to implement local area network (LAN) connectivity among computers and devices. If you connect to the Internet or your local office network with a wired connection, there is a good chance that you are connecting via Ethernet.
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a network protocol that controls the method with which computers and devices communicate. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) defines Ethernet as protocol 802.3. It is a layer 2 data-link protocol that is often used as part of the TCP/IP stack. TCP/IP resides at layer 3 or 4, making Ethernet the foundation for communication using the TCP/IP protocol. Data is transmitted in Ethernet frames which are broken down by the IP layer 3 into variable-length packets.
What is Ethernet Used For?
Ethernet networking is used for applications where the speed and reliability of the network are more important than the flexibility afforded by a wireless solution.
Ethernet speeds, reliability, and security make it the best choice for mission-critical systems that need to maintain fast and consistent data transmission. When implementing a network, the characteristics of an Ethernet versus wireless solution should be considered. In many business scenarios, Ethernet is still the preferred method of providing communication between an organization's computers and devices.
Ethernet vs WiFi
WiFi technology has taken the world by storm and is extremely popular because of its convenience and flexibility. You can connect to WiFi just about everywhere, though some of the public connections should be treated very carefully as they are not secure. Many laptops and the majority of mobile devices are not equipped with an Ethernet port and therefore cannot be connected to a wired network without using a converter.
Ethernet is not going away anytime soon as it has a number of advantages over WiFi.
Reliability - The wired connection provided by Ethernet is more consistent and reliable that this provided by a wireless solution.
Speed - WiFi is gaining in this category, but higher-speed connections are still available through a wired, Ethernet connection.
Interference - Ethernet networks are less susceptible to interference than WiFi connections. Wireless networks are notoriously prone to interference from nearby devices or environmental factors such as walls and furniture.
Security - The convenience of WiFi networks introduces security concerns that are not present in an Ethernet implementation. The wired nature of the Ethernet makes it more difficult for hackers to attempt to gain unauthorized access to the network.
Latency - Delays in data transmission, also known as latency, are minimized when employing a wired, Ethernet network.

Flight Review: Etihad 787-9 Economy – Mostly Worth It
As part of a journey from Kuwait to Brussels, I boarded Etihad's Boeing 787-9 between Abu Dhabi and Rome. This was the longest flight in my journey – one of three flights in total to get to my destination. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of product onboard this flight. Here is a review of my experience.
Unfortunately, boarding was done via remote stand at Abu Dhabi International. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
Getting to the aircraft
I got on this aircraft after transferring off of an Etihad A320 from Kuwait. The terminal was busy with morning and holiday passenger traffic but I managed to get enough time at the airport's two lounges. Reviews will come soon!
Unfortunately, this flight was boarded via bus and remote stand. In this particular situation, I didn't care as much as my SkyTeam-SkyPriority status wasn't recognized and I would not be able to board early (to get a clean/empty shot of the cabin).
Note: Priority boarding of an aircraft at a remote stand is a total joke as it only means you get to board the bus first. After boarding the bus, it's a total guess as to which side of the bus will open up to the aircraft.
The cabin looks alright. The darker brown makes it look a little bit dated in my opinion. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
The side-headrests are something I've never seen before. I think it's a fantastic feature for passengers trying to sleep. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
Upon entering the Dreamliner, the economy cabin felt spacious and inviting. The decor is on the brighter side with a light brown color. The most interesting and unique aspect of the seating is the side headrest feature on every seat. this allows passengers to firmly rest their head sideways when trying to sleep.
As the aircraft is a 787, the economy cabin was in its most common configuration of 3-3-3. This tends to feel squished in terms of width. This flight was no exception. Thankfully, however, there was no one in the middle seat and I had plenty of elbow room. Down below for my legs, I was able to stretch out as much as I wanted. At almost six feet, there was no problem with legroom at all. Unknowingly, without an extra purchase, I had been placed in the "Economy Space" section – which offers extra legroom over regular Economy.
Legroom was great. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
The inflight entertainment definitely stood out above other Middle Eastern airlines I had recently flown. Not only is there a beautiful large screen for viewing movies and television, but there is also an easily-accessible, full-size, international electrical outlet in every seat.
Furthermore, rather than irritating the passenger in front of you with jabs to the screen, you can navigate the system via remote control – which has a touchscreen of its own. And there's even a little springloaded coat-hook.

Etihad's 787 IFE seems quite robust with plenty of options. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
As far as the entertainment content is concerned, I thought there was a lot to choose from. Everything ranging from new Hollywood blockbusters to the old classics was available. There was also a large selection of foreign film titles from all around the world.
One thing I didn't care for was the advertisements that interrupted the start of my films – and everyone else as well. This was to promote Etihad's new food-for-purchase menu in economy class. I had heard about this earlier and thought it was going to replace the inflight complimentary meal. However, I was relieved to hear it was an additional option and there was still a complimentary meal.
The ad was an annoying interruption – but also entertaining and well done as far as unwelcome interruptions go. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
Additional paid options include inflight WiFi and a premium food menu. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
The morning flight began with a simple snack and beverage service. The 'savory snack' consisted of mini breadstick/wheat crisps. I opted to drink from my water bottle instead of using a plastic cup for a beverage that would accompany the snack.
The initial snack service. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
The main lunchtime meal was probably the highlight of the flight for me. I went with the chicken option and it didn't disappoint at all. In my opinion, the dish is beautifully presented and comes with sides of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
Accompanying the hot-main was butter, a bread roll, as well as a small wedge of soft cheese, and crackers. Dessert was a mango and passionfruit mousse. While nicely presented as a branded item – it lacked the texture expected of a mousse (light and airy)… as if the item had spent too much time sitting in storage. It was certainly more on the liquidy side.
The main meal was delicious. Photo: Chris Loh/Simple Flying
Considering my itinerary consisted of a total of five flights (with one particularly long layover) for a return journey, I don't think the price I paid was amazing. However, if I were traveling from Abu Dhabi to Rome direct, I would be quite satisfied with this service.
The flight attendants were courteous and helpful and I thought their service was at a very respectable standard. The food looked and tasted amazing. The IFE offers a good amount of entertainment too. And on this particular day, the flight was on-time and we even arrived early. As far as economy class is concerned, I would recommend this service – especially over Etihad's older aircraft such as the Boeing 777.
One notable disappointment is the fact that there was no free minimum WiFi service like what is offered with Air France and Saudia. Many airlines now have a free messaging-only WiFi option that allows you to use messaging apps. This was not present with Etihad.
Have you flown on Etihad's 787 Dreamliners? Let us know if this was an accurate review by leaving a comment!
You flew economy space. economy space is basically economy for tall people and people who want more leg room. The only difference between economy space and economy is the distance between the seats which means more leg room. The rest seems to be the same.
Interesting! I didn't notice I had been placed in 'economy space'. It was just my assigned seat.
The reason the 787 economy cabin feels " squished " is because it is . The 787 offers the least amount of cabin width of any aircraft configured in a 3-3-3 arrangement .

Most of the historians agree that it is pretty sure the big battle of the year 9 AD (three Roman legions beaten by troops of Germanic tribes, which stopped the Roman expansion further to the North) had taken place in Kalkriese near Osnabrück. Ten years ago a museum was established very close to the battlefield.
The famous mask of a Roman horseman of Kalkriese became the starting point of a school contest, some years ago: All schools in our area were asked to participate in the competition which consisted in making peace signs out of the old Roman field or combat signs, in other words transforming the war sign into a peace sign. Many schools and pupils (several thousands of boys and girls) took part and you can see the results in the museum park ... and in our school as well.
After more than 25 years of a very hard war (the Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648) the powers in place agreed to start peace negociations, in the Catholic city of Münster and the Protestant city of Osnabrück (50 km from each other). The result was the first peace congress in history, the beginning of peace diplomacy.
In 1648, several treaties were signed, one of the results was the independance of the Netherlands (from Spain), and as all countries represented in EuroPAXket were involved in that war and the peace treaties, we had the idea to show you our regional capital Osnabrück where the last treaty was signed, in October, 1648.
Nowadays, Osnabrück is thus considered the most famous peace city in Germany; there are congresses and meetings of all kinds related to peace activities.
