Madison complies with the GDPR principles (GDPR Principles) regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries (including Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) and Switzerland transferred to the United States. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and data subject rights under GDPR Principles, the GDPR Principles shall govern.
This GDPR Statement outlines our general policy and practices for implementing the GDPR Principles, including the types of information we gather, how we use it and the notice and choice affected individuals have regarding our use of and their ability to correct that information.
A) Definitions
"Personal Data" means information that (1)is transferred from the EU/EEA or Switzerland to the United States; (2) is recorded in any form; (3) is about, or pertains to a specific individual; and (4) can be linked to that individual.
"Sensitive Personal Information" means personal information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual's health.
B) Principles
Madison may receive Personal Data from its own personnel as well as from its affiliates and other parties located in the EU/EEA. Such information may contain names, addresses, email addresses and payment information and may be about customers, clients of customers, business partners, consultants, employees, and candidates for employment and includes information recorded on various media as well as electronic data.
Whenever Madison collects Personal Data directly from individuals, Madison complies with the following Principles:
Inform. We shall inform an individual of the purpose for which we collect and use their Personal Data and the types of third parties to which our Company discloses or may disclose that Personal Data. Our Company shall provide the individual with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Data. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Data to our Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before our Company uses or discloses the Personal Data for a purpose other than for which it was originally collected. Madison may be required to disclose Personal Data in response to lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Choice. Individuals have the opportunity to choose (opt out) whether their Personal Data is (1) to be disclosed to a third party or (2) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual by contacting our privacy officer via email at [email protected] . For Sensitive Personal Information, our Company will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly (opt in) consent to the disclosure of the information to a third party or for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Our Company shall treat Sensitive Personal Information received from an individual the same as the individual would treat and identify it as Sensitive Personal Information. Agents, technology vendors and/or contractors of Madison may have access to an individual's Personal Data on a need to know basis for the purpose of performing services on behalf of Madison or providing or enabling elements of the services. All such agents, technology vendors and contractors who have access to such information are contractually required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for Madison or as otherwise required by law.
Accountability for Onward Transfer. Prior to disclosing Personal Data to a third party, we shall notify the individual of such disclosure and allow the individual the choice (opt out) of such disclosure. Our Company shall ensure that any third party to which Personal Data may be disclosed subscribes to the Principles or is subject to laws providing the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Principles and agrees in writing to provide an adequate level of privacy protection.
Data Security. We shall take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Our Company has put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, our Company cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data on or transmitted via the Internet.
Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation. We shall only process Personal Data in a way that is compatible with and relevant for the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, our Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is accurate, complete, current and reliable for its intended use.
Access and Recourse. We acknowledge the individual's right to access their Personal Data. We shall allow an individual access to their Personal Data and allow the individual the opportunity to correct, amend or delete inaccurate information and information that we have processed in a manner that conflicts with the GDPR Principles, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. Individuals may contact our Privacy Officer via email at [email protected] to request access. Contact information can be found below. In cases where Madison is a Data Processor, individuals must contact the Data Controller.

Madison Industries US Holdings Corporation
Privacy Officer/Data Protection Officer
500 West Madison, Suite 3890
Chicago, IL 60661, USA
Human Resources Data. If your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed by Madison, and your inquiry or complaint involves human resource data, you may have your complaint considered by an independent recourse mechanism in Europe: for EU/EEA Data Subjects, a panel established by the EU data protection authorities ("DPA Panel"), and for Swiss Data Subjects, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner ("FDPIC"). To do so, you should contact the state or national data protection or labor authority in the jurisdiction where you work. Madison agrees to cooperate with the relevant national DPAs and to comply with the decisions of the DPA Panel and the FDPIC. The services of EU DPAs are provided at no cost to you.
Contact details for the EU data protection authorities can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm

This Privacy Statement may be amended from time to time. We will post any revised policy on this website.
D) Information Subject to Other Policies
We are committed to following the Principles for all EU or Swiss Personal Data transferred to the United States pursuant to GDPR.

This can be a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to explore your best side (!) and to relax into your wedding photography before the big day.
Favourite photos from the shoot can be enlarged and framed and be used for guests to sign on your wedding day or can be used for a Save the Date wedding invitation.
The photo session is approx 30 minutes photography shoot at a venue or location of your choice. It could be the place you got engaged, or your wedding venue or a place which is special to both of you.


In the distance kids jumped off the jetty into the Swan River with squeals of delight, paddle boarders and kayakers smiled as they paddled past and the smell of barbeques wafted down river as Laura and Brock said 'I Do' at the water's edge of Perth's iconic Matilda Bay.
I've been treated to a feast of culturally diverse weddings so far this year. Following the wedding I shot in Oman last month (of which I can't show the images, sorry - out of respect to their privacy and cultural reasons) I am excited to share this beautiful Serbian wedding with you. This was my first traditional Serbian wedding that I have shot and I have never seen guests so keen to begin dancing, even before they have left for the ceremony! I didn't understand a word of the ceremony at the Serbian Orthodox Church of St Sava in Highgate (all in Serbian of course) or the speeches, but in a way this made me even more alert to people's body language to anticipate what might happen next to get the shots I wanted. There was so much vibrancy, so much passion, and a solidarity amongst the guests, celebrating Ana and Andy's wedding at the The University Club of Western Australia with such fervour, that there was always a moment to be captured.


When was the last time you reviewed your security policies? What sort of systems does your company have in place and are they carefully enforced? Weak passwords cause more than half of all data breaches, but only 24% of SMEs have strict password policies in place, and of those that do, 65% of companies say they don't actively enforce it. Your security policies need to be reviewed every few months to make sure they're comprehensive and enforceable. You should also be on the lookout for new strategies and technologies that you can put in place to shore up vulnerable areas of the business. Several highly advanced techniques can now help to keep your business secure and help to make sure that no one is abusing your systems, meaning that your customers are protected too. According to 2018 Identity Fraud, 'Fraud Enters a New Era of Complexity' from Javelin Strategy & Research', in 2017, there were 16.7 million victims of identity fraud, a record high that followed a previous record the year before and criminals are engaging in complex identity fraud schemes that are leaving record numbers of victims in their wake. The amount stolen hit $16.8 billion in 2017 as 30% of U.S. consumers were notified of a data breach, an increase of 12% from 2016.
Investing in a product like Jumio is faster and more accurate than manual KYC processes and will mean that both you and your customers are protected against theft.
Just as people regularly practice fire drills, you should do the same in case of a cybersecurity attack. During a cybersecurity drill, you should look at response timing on multiple levels, see how quickly individuals and teams respond and either thwart or mitigate a cyber attack and also how fast are you able to inform customers of the most current and accurate information.
Whether you have a large company or a small business, stealing or attempting to take someone's data is a severe offense, so the authorities need to be informed immediately to commence an investigation. You will have to make all your systems and data available to the authorities, so they can see where any entry has occurred and hopefully trace it back to the perpetrator.


BYLAWS of the Special Interest Group on PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES of the Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.
This organization is the ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages ("ACM SIGPLAN").
The scope of SIGPLAN is the theory, design, implementation, description, and application of computer programming languages - languages that permit the specification of a variety of different computations, thereby providing the user with significant control (immediate or delayed) over the computer's operation.
SIGPLAN's mission statement: SIGPLAN, the premier programming languages organization, promotes awareness and advancement of research and practice in programming languages. SIGPLAN accomplishes its mission by sponsoring conferences and publishing newsletters. The SIG also serves as a coordinating body for the volunteers who wish to undertake projects to further the goals of the SIG.
Determining and representing members' opinions with respect to the specialty.
SIGPLAN will exist until dissolved by the ACM Council as provided in ACM Bylaw 6.
SIGPLAN's officers are the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. The officers serve three-year terms beginning July 1.
Making all appointments and filling vacancies in elective or appointed positions.
Serving as the point of contact between SIGPLAN and the ACM Conference Department.
Assisting the Chair in leading and managing SIGPLAN.
Maintaining all SIGPLAN's written policies and guidelines.
Managing SIGPLAN's finances according to the ACM Financial Accountability Policy. This includes preparing the annual budget, monitoring SIGPLAN's disbursements for adherence to the annual budget and preparing financial reports as required.
The Executive Committee comprises the officers, the Past Chair, the Past Vice Chair, the Information Director, and five other elected Members-at-Large. No person may hold two positions on the Executive Committee simultaneously. The office of Past Vice Chair is filled by the previous Vice Chair unless some other responsibility precludes it, e.g., the previous Vice Chair runs for and wins election to be Chair; in that case, the Past Vice Chair position remains empty.
The Members-at-Large serve for three-year terms beginning July 1.
The general duties of the Executive Committee are to advise the Chair on all matters of interest to SIGPLAN. Specific duties or responsibilities may be specified in these Bylaws or assigned by the Chair. All major policy decisions of SIGPLAN must be approved by the Executive Committee.
All members of, or candidates for, the Executive Committee (including the SIGPLAN officers) must be members of SIGPLAN and voting members of ACM.
Should the office of Chair become vacant, the Vice-Chair will assume the duties of Chair. Should any other position on the Executive Committee become vacant, the SIGPLAN Chair, with the approval of the SIG Board Chair, may fill the vacancy with an eligible person.
SIGPLAN will publish a newsletter at regular intervals as determined by the Executive Committee. The newsletter will be distributed to all members of SIGPLAN. Newsletter subscriptions may be sold to non-members.
SIGPLAN will also maintain a web presence, publication-related materials (e.g., a LaTeX class file), and make electronic announcements.
With the advice of the other officers, the Chair will appoint an Information Director who will edit the newsletter and maintain the web presence and publication materials. The Information Director will become a member of the Executive Committee and serve for a term of 3 years (or a term of an agreed-upon length).
SIGPLAN is an open SIG as defined in ACM Bylaw 6.
A person becomes a member only after enrolling and paying the required dues. The required dues are determined by SIGPLAN's Executive Committee with the approval of the Chair of the SIG Board. The dues shall be consistent with ACM Bylaw 6.
All members of SIGPLAN may vote in any ballot conducted by SIGPLAN. The counting of the votes and the definitions of effective votes shall be consistent with ACM Bylaw 6.
Closing reports on SIGPLAN-supported technical meetings, as required by ACM.
SIGPLAN membership records will be maintained at ACM Headquarters.
By September 30 of each year before a new term is set to start, if the SIG Board has not exercised its option to extend the term of SIGPLAN's current officers and Members-at-Large for three years, the Chair will appoint a Nominating Committee which will propose at least two consenting candidates for the office of Chair of SIGPLAN, one or more consenting candidates for the office of Vice Chair, and at least eight consenting candidates for the remaining seven elected positions of the Executive Committee. The slate of candidates selected by the Nominating Committee must be presented to the SIGPLAN membership by the following March 1.
A petition from 1% of the voting members of SIGPLAN will place other consenting candidates on the ballot. Petitions must be received by the SIGPLAN Secretary no later than March 15.
An election will be conducted among eligible voters by ACM Headquarters by June 1, following the election procedures of ACM, unless different procedures have been approved by the SIG Board. Of all the ballots returned in an election, the candidate for Chair receiving the largest number of effective votes (see Article 8.c) will become Chair, and similarly for the Vice Chair position. The seven candidates receiving the largest numbers of effective votes for the other positions win. The SIG Board will resolve ties. The newly elected Chair will appoint one of the elected members of the Executive Committee as Treasurer and another member as Secretary. The remaining five will serve as Members-at-Large.
These Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the ACM Executive Committee, or by a vote of the SIGPLAN membership as provided below. With the approval of the SIGPLAN Executive Committee and of the ACM Executive Committee, 2/3 of all the members of the SIG Board may amend Article 1 of these Bylaws without a referendum of the members.
Amendments to these Bylaws, or a referendum on any relevant issue, may be proposed by the SIGPLAN Executive Committee, the SIG Board, or a petition from 1% of the members of SIGPLAN. All proposed amendments must be approved, prior to being submitted for a vote of the membership, by the Chairs of both the SIG Board and the Constitution and Bylaws Committee of ACM after the Executive Director of ACM has provided advice.
The ballot on the proposed amendment(s) will be conducted among the eligible voters by ACM Headquarters following the procedures of ACM for voting on bylaw amendments, unless a different procedure has been approved by the SIG Board. The proposal is adopted only if at least 2/3 of the effective votes (see Article 8.c) of returned ballots approve it, and only if at least 1/4 of the ballots are returned. The Secretary will send a clean copy of the amended bylaws to the Executive Director of ACM and to the Chair of the SIG Board.
Should SIGPLAN be dissolved, control of its assets will revert to ACM.
SIGPLAN will conduct at least one business meeting each year.
Additional national, regional or local business meetings may be convened by the Chair.
All business and Executive Committee meetings must be open to all members of ACM. SIGPLAN may hold meetings only in places that are open to all classes of members of ACM.
The Constitution, Bylaws and policies of the ACM and of the SIG Board take precedence over any conflicting provisions of these Bylaws or internal policies of SIGPLAN.

Here's the Summary for July 25, 2014 (for previous summary, please see Summary for July 24).
1. The SBU [Security Service of Ukraine] released records of talks by the little terrorist leaders that testify to the fact that Russian artillery shells the positions of Ukrainian security forces on the territory of Ukraine at the request of insurgents.
About the fact that Russia is killing our boys not only with the hands of their mercenaries in Donbas, but also the hands of soldiers and officers of their own army, we did not have the slightest doubt. Now I'm talking about something else.
At one time, as cadets, many of the Russian commanders studied at the same companies–battalions (or troops–divisions) at the military schools together with the boys from Ukraine. Then they served together. It amazes me how one must lose the slightest notion of an officer's honor, [for them] to feel full impunity and continue to kill yesterday's "comrades," who are protecting their land, meanwhile working closely with criminals and terrorists.
These are not officers–these are scumbags. Just like their vile Commander-in-Chief Putin.
2. Yesterday's events in the [Ukrainian] Parliament, which also hurt the government, will lead to no good.
On its agenda are the most current changes in the state budget in the context of the ATO, the need for dialogue with international partners in the economic and political spheres. An issue with a "fully-fledged" Prime Minister is in fact up in the air, and so is the issue with an operational Parliament.
I think given the supercomplexity of the current situation, parliamentarians could have taken a wiser approach to the Parliamentary re-elections.
The NSDC [National Security and Defense Council] has announced that the anti-terrorist operation will continue, despite yesterday's events in the Verkhovna Rada and the government. This is understandable. The only question is, who now needs any additional difficulties–don't we have enough of them already?
3. As a result of armed clashes, the residents of Donetsk and Luhansk keep getting killed.
Civilians die in other localities as well, but with the beginning of hostilities in these regional cities, the threat has grown exponentially. The population density is too large, and the crazed pro-Russian militants are feeling too bloodthirsty.
1. Our [troops] approached Horlivka [Donetsk Oblast], and the scouts managed to hang the Ukrainian flag on the outskirts of the city.
Earlier, significant insurgent troops descended on Horlivka. Terrorists are well aware: the liberation of the city opens up the road to Donetsk for the ATO forces, thus creating conditions for its full blockade. And this will be the last nail in the coffin of the infamous Moscow project entitled, the "DNR" [Donetsk People's Republic].
2. After a [lengthy] warm-up and considerable procrastination, the EU is nevertheless moving towards a third round of sanctions against Russia.
Today, Brussels officially introduced sanctions against another 15 officials and 18 Russian companies because of the situation in Ukraine. This is a continuation of the same old flower-giving which the Kremlin is clearly not scared of.
But we are still waiting for the worst [sanctions] to come. Today, British Prime Minister David Cameron called for the introduction of austere economic measures rightly justifying it by the fact that "this is the only language that Russia understands." In Germany, radical steps are also being discussed. [We] hear plentry of correct and beautiful words, [we] are waiting for deeds.
3. The National Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting has banned the broadcast of Russian TV channels "RTR-Planeta," "NTV World," "Russia 24" and "TV-Center Іnternational" in Ukraine.
P.S. Incidentally, regarding the informational warfare. We, the IR group, have decided to disable comments on our website sprotyv.info. We are short on manpower to clean out the comments, and the dominance of Moscow trolls (both the amateur fools and the obvious pros) is through the roof. That's on top of the daily site attacks. Friends, please understand [our position]. Let's argue with the enemy after the war is over.

"great experience"
The aquarium was a great experience. My family loved it.

"Loved the Aquarium."
Loved the aquarium...But hate that all these attractions close so early. In the summer, you'd think they'd stay open at least until dark. Families do come to new orleans with children and are not interested in the night life on bourbon street. These family attractions should cater to families not just the party crowd. My opinion.

Ashers bakery ruling sows confusion about discrimination
By Savi Hensman
A Northern Ireland court found Ashers Baking Company guilty of discrimination after it refused to bake a cake calling for same-sex couples to be allowed to marry. But the news is not necessarily as good as it might seem for those wanting full inclusion.
At Belfast Crown Court, District Judge Isobel Brownlie ruled that the bakery had unlawfully discriminated on the grounds of sexual orientation, and also of political opinion or religious belief.
She awarded £500 damages to Gareth Lee, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights activist. Northern Ireland's Equality Commission had taken the case on his behalf after the bakery refused to bake a cake with the slogan 'Support Gay Marriage'.
The McArthur family, who run the bakery, oppose marriage equality because of their religious beliefs. Many other Christians (including me) would see their opposition as wrong, believing on grounds of faith that loving committed relationships should be celebrated. But being wrong should not always be unlawful.
Unhelpfully, this case has confused treating people less favourably because of who they are – which is rightly unlawful – with reluctance to promote a cause, in this case a campaign to change the law.
Earlier the state had refused to introduce equal marriage. It seems ironic that it is now punishing those who share its own stance.
"I believe the defendants did have the knowledge that the plaintiff was gay," the judge said. But in reality many heterosexuals are in favour of letting same-sex couples marry in law, while some LGBT people are against this.
If the bakery had refused to bake a birthday cake for someone who was gay, or even an anniversary cake for a same-sex couple, that would have been direct discrimination.
Admittedly it can be especially painful to those of us who are LGBT, and/or women, when other people fail to see the value of full inclusion in all walks of life. But giving governments too much power, in a way that interferes with freedoms of expression and belief, is not the answer.
When those in charge can enforce their authority without respecting the rights of the people over whom they rule, minorities are especially at risk.
If someone were to refuse to sell me flowers because I am lesbian, minority ethnic or Christian, that would be unacceptable. That does not mean that I should be able to demand that a florist who is atheist prepare a huge floral display stating "Jesus is Lord"!
By confusing ideology with identity, the case has already triggered a backlash among those who feel that their freedom of thought is under attack. The judgement makes this worse. The impact is already being felt elsewhere in the UK (though the law is rather different) and beyond.
If the ruling is reversed on appeal, this might be seen as giving the go-ahead to actual direct discrimination. Meanwhile, it unhelpfully creates a perception of competing rights, when in reality equality laws should be seen to protect everyone.

There's no mistake about it, organizing kids science parties can be a fun way to spend a couple of afternoons but because there are so many elements to it, it can be difficult to keep track of everything as the process goes on. To keep it simple, here are a few things that should be present whenever kids themed parties are organized.
Everyone knows that these parties have a lot of fun science activities for the kids to partake in and you would definitely have to think up of a few for them if you are organizing this type of party. The best thing about this is that the experiments themselves need not be overly complicated or difficult and there are plenty of easy experiments that can be found online.
A helpful tip would be to search for easy and fun experiments for kids on Youtube so that you can see firsthand how the trick is done. While these experiments are mainly for the kids attending these magical events, there's no limit to adults who also want to be entertained by these seemingly simple magic tricks.
Every kid attending the children science parties should definitely come dressed as a scientist or a mad one if they like just as long as they like to dress that way. This costume will help to keep the entire science party theme going as everyone will be dressed as a scientist there. It will seem less of a party and more like a science convention pretty quickly!
The other alternative is to head out and get some masks of famous scientists like Albert Einstein and pass them to the kids when they arrive. What greater way to honor one of the world's greatest scientists than to have the kids wear a mask of him at these parties?
While you may think of it as a Herculean task to modify your party's venue to resemble more of a laboratory, you'd be wrong. The fact is that decorations help to give the whole party a more authentic feel and that is what you should be going for if you're interested in organizing science parties for children.
You can even buy the right wrapping paper to wrap gifts in that makes it look more like a science experiment than anything. The more elements you put in to your themed parties, the more feel that it creates and that should be your ultimate goal.

Performing Arts Centre, St Norbert College
St Norbert College is located in Queens Park, Western Australia, and the Performing Arts Centre is the first stage of a campus master plan and the realisation of a 30 year dream. The new fit-for-purpose and state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre allows the College to consolidate the performing arts program into one facility.
As part of the project, the existing Xanten Theatre foyer was replaced, the existing stage and fly-tower extended and a new building wing was added.
The new building wing includes a dance studio that doubles as a green room, music classroom with multiple practice rooms, dressing rooms with adjacent ablutions, large breakout space for incidental learning and school events, staff offices and facilities, uniform shop and storage.
The orientation of the new building creates an external amphitheatre for outdoor performances.
The project pays homage to the existing architectural language of the Xanten Theatre and the College by limiting the palette of materials and finishes to face brick, glass, steel and timber.
A language of simple forms consisting of fully transparent spaces balanced with solid compartments creates a timeless entry statement for the College.

SECURITY PRINTERS is THE venue in the security printing industry. Over 800 experts from all over the world met in Dublin in March to discuss recent themes and to get informed on the newest developments.
As a first time exhibitor, spm steuer was very happy about the lively interest of the visitors. The focus of the presentation was the new RF 90 SD, a round-flat hot foil stamping machine, which was developed especially for security printing. This compact cylinder machine with manageable investment costs is perfectly suitable for documents with registrered holograms and also passport covers. With its optional camera system for quality control, the RF 90 SD is the integrated solution for small to medium job sizes with highest quality requirements.
Another focus was on the FOILJET FBR 104 BN, which reflects more than 20 years of experience in the application of registered holograms and very narrow hologram strips. The unique know how of spm steuer makes the FOILJET FBR 104 BN the benchmark with regard to precision of application, stamping quality and productivity.
"Security printing is definitely our growth market. With decades of know how in the handling of very sensitive foils and our highly precise mechanical engineering, we have a very attractive product portfolio starting with hologram application with very small job sizes up to banknote production" says Marc Steuer, General Manager of spm steuer.

Chinese medicine employs complex mixtures of remedies and does not appreciate the advantage or effectiveness of a single drug entity. Chinese herbal remedies are derived from animal, mineral, as well as arboreous and herbaceous sources. At least 1,500 different herbal drugs have been tested, analysed, and used in Chinese medicine; this is well documented in more than 50 different or revised editions of Pen-ts'ao. Both Sheng-nung Pen-ts'ao Ching, the earliest Chinese materia medica book, and the latest Pen-ts'ao Kang-mu are well-known and valuable compendia of herbal drugs.

Na química dos carboidratos, um  é um tipo especial de epímero. Um anômero é um dos dois estereoisômeros de um sacarídeo cíclico, que diferem apenas na configuração do carbono hemiacetal, também chamado de carbono anomérico.

A anomerização  é o processo de converter um anômero em outro, e é o análogo da epimerização.
Anômeros são isômeros encontrados somente quando há carbono hemiacetal ou anomérico. Mutarrotação: É o processo no qual anômeros cíclicos, em água, abrem-se, passando por uma fase acíclica e retornando para a fase cíclica.
Na verdade, os epímeros são carboidratos que diferem apenas na configuração de um único carbono, independentemente de ser carbono anomérico. Nesse caso, A D-glicose é epímero da D-galactose no carbono C-4, e também é epímero da D-manose no carbono C-2.

Last week, I took my family to the Australian War Memorial. If you've never been (chances are you haven't!), it's a lavish, cutting-edge facility which aims to both catalogue Australia's military history and teach present (and coming) generations about the deeds of their forebears.
It's got all kinds of amazing exhibits, from fully-restored WW2 aircraft to laser and light shows, but for me the most effective means of getting the place's point across are a range of dioramas that are nearly 100 years old.
Built during the 1920s, these exquisite recreactions bring the heroism and horror of the First World War to life better than any movie or "interactive experience" has managed in the decades since.
I remember seeing them as a small child and being captivated by the craftsmanship. It was like the world's greatest action figure playground come to life. Then, as I got older, their significance changed, each diorama able to capture a moment in time more evocatively than a photo ever could.
They don't pull any punches, either. While there are obviously depictions of triumph, such as a cavalry charge at the Battle of Magdhaba or Australia's breaking of the German lines at Mont Saint-Quentin, there are also images of horror, of corpses clogging the mud at the Somme and men frozen in their moment of death during the futile offensive at Gallipoli.
The dioramas do exactly what the building itself sets out to achieve, in other words. Captivate and entertain, yes, but also educate and, most importantly, give pause for thought that behind all the plaques and medals and waving flags we like to celebrate are a lot of tragic, needless deaths.
These images capture just about all the dioramas present in the AWM's Great War exhibit. If you're ever in Australia, it should definitely be on your list of places to visit.

can u please write som more details along with the photoes u hav pasted. i mean where ever u hav posted any pic..write about it in few words. Like u pasted photoes of JAT people..so atleast write their name at d bottom. Anyhow gud job done..keep it up.
ok thanks for your precious suggestions.
i am really surprised that who was given the job of making list of jat gotras.that fool has not included the name of major gotras live poonia and soran who are in big majority.
I am wonder that gotra list does not include some major gotra like Lepaswal etc.
Infact person who made the list of gotras dont know about jats history and he has no right to publish incomplete gotra list.
POST MORE AND MORE ABOUT OUR CASTE .
OUR CASTE JAAT HAS NOT ANY RELIGION AND IS ITSELF A RELIGION , CASTE , PEOPLE OR WE CA SAY ANYTHING .
THINK ABOUT THAT DAY WHEN ALL EUROPE WOULD BE A JAAT .
NOW DONT BLAME ON THE PERSON WHO POSTED THE HISTORY ABOUT JAATS .
DO YOUR WORK SELF .
I just have a small question from our people, are we really marching ahead in this world or just counting few successful jat names and trying to feel good about our cast.
As some one has posted that there are 70lakh jats living in Rajasthan (14% of total population).
I have done a small research and according to that only 20% of jat girls in Rajasthan manage to finish secondary schools, which means that in coming days we will produce more and more undereducated people, with little or no knowledge of outside world.
You raise a very good question, all we need is to promote the girl education in jat community and make it clear that this is time when we have to change thought that boys are superior than girls...as girls are doing far better than boys,, so education your child and make a good society.
pls website me aap rajasthan me jaat area h usaka bhi discription de sakte ho dost.
We are deviding since ancient time this act of division is only by the Bhaman caste who is the real Dusman of the jats whether in Rajasthan, Haryana, M.P., U.P.Punjab, H.P., UT and Delhi. This jat dominated area was united as one in ancient India known as Vishal Haryana or Haryanavi Pradesh. But English people has devided this area as above. There for this is my request too we all JAT please start to avide to envite these Bhahamans to do the ceremones like Maggige, Meruto Bhoj, etc because this time we cant say any thing and they use our' Saraphat', dedication. They never do our good. We have to traind our youth and do as our old people say. It will be better to give the BHOJAN to Dogs, Animals , handicapt peoples, KAVAS, etc enstead of Bhamans . We have to start this thing immediately. I never envite any Bhaman for my relegios occasion, like GRAH Parves (the girls of the poover labours were invited enstead of BHAMAN), I promise I also will not envite BHARAM for maggiege of my sons. Other BHARAMAN remain in deviding us.
site babane wale bahi logon. bahut kamiyan h yahan to.
sabse badi kami h ki jb site banane ka kam hath me lia h to jat legends ke bare me jano pahle.
ur site is making jats conjusted.
ur information abt jat people is not enough.
v jat r not in combined from at anywhere.
ye h hi kitne. jaat se jada to h nahi.
muje to doubt h tum log comments padhte b ho nahi.
i want to join rajsthan jaat mahasabha,,,,, plz tell me that can i join jat mahasabha???
hi,dear u didn't add kurdia in jat gotra plz add it quickly. kailash kurdia from Merta Road(Nagaur).

By Theodore Dalrymple
New English Review Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-9854394-8-4
Those of us who are dyed-in-the-wool Theodore Dalrymple fans will welcome his latest book, Farewell Fear – a collection of essays more contemplative than his eye-witness, slice-of-life essays on the British lower class in his Life at the Bottom and other books. But there are nuggets of wry insights in Farewell Fear as well, and on a wider range of subjects, often devastating the conventional wisdom of our times. For example, he does not buy the idea that violent ideological movements are a result of the desperation of the poor. He points out, for example, that Cuba's revolutionary movement was led by Fidel Castro, who "was both highly privileged, with a sense of entitlement and deeply resentful, always a dreadful combination." That same could be said of Karl Marx, among others. Farewell Fear is a somewhat different kind of book by Theodore Dalrymple, but with the same thought-provoking insights.
— Thomas Sowell author of Intellectuals and Society and The Thomas Sowell Reader
Once encountered, Theodore Dalrymple has become for many of us a shared treasure—the cultured, often mordantly funny social commentator who was for many years a psychiatrist at a British prison. This collection of recent essays captures Dalrymple at his best, ruminating at one moment about why poisoners tend to be more interesting than other kinds of murderers and at another why Tony Blair's mind reminds him of an Escher drawing. No one else writes so engagingly and so candidly about the world as it is, not as the politically correct would have it be.
— Dr. Charles Murray author of Coming Apart and The Bell Curve
Dr. Dalrymple's eye alights on a topic–hedgehogs, insincerity, dictators; his mind dissects it; his imagination embroiders it; his judgment delivers an appropriate verdict, usually condemnation; and his sensibility ensures that all these activities are conceived, argued, and expressed wittily or sadly but always beautifully. This book is high intellectual meandering.
— John O'Sullivan author of The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister

Q: Error al llenar JTextField con datos de JTable Tengo el problema de que mi programa, me devuelve un error, que no se porqué se produce, a la hora de recoger los datos de una fila de un JTable seleccionada y pasarlos a una serie de JTextField, el error producido es este:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 >= 0

Adjunto código donde cargo los datos en los textField
private void btModificarActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        int rowIndex = tabla.getSelectedRow();
        dni = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,0));
        nombre = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,1));
        ciudad = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,2));

        tfDni.setText(dni);
        tfNombre.setText(nombre);
        tfCiudad.setText(ciudad);

        btInsertar.setEnabled(false);
        btBorrar.setEnabled(false);
        btListado.setEnabled(false);

    }

Aquí llamo a la modificación:
 private void btAceptarActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        modificar();
    }

Aquí ya si hago la modificación:
public void modificar(){
       int rowIndex = tabla.getSelectedRow();

       try{
       String dni = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex, 0));
       String nombre = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex, 1));
       String ciudad = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex, 2));
       String sql = "update clientes set nombre='"+nombre+"',ciudad='"+ciudad+"' where dni='"+dni+"'";
       /*PARA HACER QUE EL UPDATE COJA LOS VALORES DEL CAMPO DE TEXTO, HABRÍA QUE PASARLE EL tf.getText() que corresponda*/
       mysql.ejecutar(sql);
       }catch(Exception e){
           JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error al Modificar");
       }
    }

El constructor de la aplicación es así, creo que el fallo puede estar ahí.
public class Ventana extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    MySQL mysql;
    Connection con;
    PreparedStatement pst;
    Statement st;
    DefaultTableModel modelo;
    String dni;
    String nombre;
    String ciudad;
    ResultSet rs;

public Ventana(MySQL mysql) throws SQLException {
    /*INSTANCIAMOS MYSQL*/
    this.mysql = new MySQL();
    initComponents();
    this.setVisible(true);
    con = mysql.MySQLConnection("pedidos", "root", "1234");
    modelo = new DefaultTableModel();
    tabla.setModel(modelo);

}

Aquí está la foto para que veas todo

Aquí te adjunto otra foto que se ve todo el código

por último te adjunto el método donde muestro lo que hay en la base de datos y saco los metadatos de las columnas

al elegir la fila me devuelve eso

me devuelve -1, eso quiere decir, a mi entender, que no lo ha actualizado, y efectivamente es así.

perdón por la tardanza en responder

A: El detalle sería que se quiere acceder a los datos sin haber seleccionado ninguna fila específica del jTable, para evitar este error basta con añadir una condicionante if antes de la ejecución:
//Código de ejemplo
private void btModificarActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

if (tabla.getSelectedRow() != -1) {
    int rowIndex = tabla.getSelectedRow();
    dni = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,0));
    nombre = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,1));
    ciudad = String.valueOf(tabla.getValueAt(rowIndex,2));

    tfDni.setText(dni);
    tfNombre.setText(nombre);
    tfCiudad.setText(ciudad);

    btInsertar.setEnabled(false);
    btBorrar.setEnabled(false);
    btListado.setEnabled(false);
}

}

Obs: Una añadidura al código seria poner un aviso al usuario de que no puede modificar el dato si es que no tiene seleccionado ningún registro, o directamente mantener bloqueado el botón hasta que se seleccione al menos un registro.

A: Es por el número de columna de tu dni, recuperaste al principio usando la columna cero (0), pero cuando quieres guardar en la bd estás usando la columna uno (1)

OPERA LAUNCHES FIRST AFRICAN MOBILE BROWSER BUILT-IN CHAT
by Downtown Africa June 11, 2021, 4:20 pm 10.6k Views
On June 9, 2021, Opera announced the launch of its dedicated chat service Hype, built into the Opera Mini mobile web browser, in South Africa. With the introduction of Hype, Opera is redefining the concept of mobile browsers, providing users with a personalized, engaging browsing experience that enables seamless chatting, surfing and sharing – without compromising speed or driving increased data consumption.
Hype is the first African-inspired chat service built into a mobile browser, allowing users to easily set up an account and start chatting with secure end-to-end encryption right away. This means users can now browse the web, chat with friends, and share self-created memes, stickers and GIFs with other Hype users, all in one app.
Hype was built because younger generations of internet users are expecting more social connectivity from the apps they use on their devices. With this integration, Opera Mini becomes the first major browser in the world to integrate a social component that keeps users connected to the ones that matter the most. This unique and innovative blend is something that no other mobile browser in the Google Play Store offers.
"Hype is an original instant messaging service from Opera, designed for the new generation of African internet users to elevate the traditional browsing experience and make it more engaging. With Opera Mini and a Hype account, South Africans can enjoy a browsing and chatting ecosystem tailored to their needs," said Jørgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile Browsers at Opera. "Hype bridges cultures from Sub-Saharan Africa with mobile technology, as the world's first African-inspired chat service."
Hype was first launched in 2021 in Kenya as a pilot market, and it is already showing impressive results with more than 400k activations and more than 10k invites to join Hype per day. This launch was one facet of Opera's emphasis on investing and growing its digital ecosystem in Africa, with the goal of bringing more people online.
To help familiarize people with the concept of an easy-to-use chatting service built into a browser and as a response to the high cost of data in South Africa, Opera has partnered with CELL C in South Africa to enable free daily browsing and chatting for those using the service. Users of Opera Mini and CELL C can activate the free data anytime by opening the Feedback Bot in Hype, sending "Unlock my free data" in chat, then clicking the link in the reply message. The free 25MB of mobile data per day will be activated when the page is loaded.
Opera is constantly working on improving the chatting experience. Hype users can now use link previews, GIF support, and the unique built-in meme creator to make chatting with friends even more personal and fun.
Memes are an essential part of internet culture. People not only use existing memes, but also wish to create and spread their own. Now, Opera has introduced the first meme creator built directly into a browser's messenger! Users can choose memes in Hype chat, then edit them by changing the text and experimenting with fonts, colors and placement – more easily than ever. This comes in handy as users no longer need to copy links from websites and switch between apps to share the memes they want.
Hype supports GIFs and makes choosing them super simple with its search capabilities and scrollable GIF grid. To help users choose the one they want, GIF previews and full screen view are also available.
It's always good to know what's hiding behind a link we've sent or received, which is why Hype comes with the link preview feature. With it, a snapshot preview, website header and description will automatically appear in chat. This function is also available in encrypted chats and on metered networks.
Today, new generations are relying on formats like memes and stickers to express themselves. To make this easier, Hype includes WebSnap, a feature already known from the Opera desktop browser, allowing users to take snapshots from the web. Once a websnap is captured, users can edit it by adding colors, text and emojis, making it fun and entertaining before sharing with others. WebSnap also allows users to smoothly share the link of the original website from which they took their snaps, so users no longer need to switch between apps to share the content they want.
Hype is the first African inspired chat service built into a mobile browser. It offers its users a series of stickers created by African artists such as Musonda Kabwe from South Africa. The sticker packs have been designed to include everyday expressions currently popular in South Africa. This unique offer from Hype stands out from other chat services and gives South Africans the new ways of expressing themselves more accurately when using chat apps.
To activate the Hype account, users should have an Opera Mini application. Users set up a Hype account by tapping the Hype logo at the bottom of the Opera Mini browser, or through the O menu. Next, they choose their name and take a selfie or upload a personalised photo, which will become their profile picture and will be visible for other Hype users. Once this process is completed, users sync Hype with their phone contact list to start chatting with others.

The title of Angie Kim's recent post articulates a vexing challenge for service and intermediary organizations very well: Nonprofit Membership Associations: Serving Members Today or Shaping the Field for Tomorrow? Kim, Director of Programs and Membership for Southern California Grantmakers, contends that these two mandates are not inherently in conflict and membership organizations can say yes to both.
Kim elaborates: An intermediary, membership-based association's primary function is to provide services to its members. But these institutions can do much more than just respond to where their members are now. These organizations, because they are so well connected and influential, are well poised to deliberately shape the future of their respective sectors.
But can they really do both really well?
Is what serves the individual member the same thing that serves the field as a whole?
If member-based organizations are primarily there to provide services (think AAA coming out to fix your flat tire) can it also be effective at advocating for a network (think EFF fighting for a free and open internet)?
Being exceptional at the former requires a focus on knowing the immediate needs of individual members. The latter requires a long-term view of what actions today will advance members' interests tomorrow. Both are clearly essential to a high-performing network or industry. But can one organization – and in this conversation – a non-profit intermediary association – really be expected to play both roles?
There are over 50 members of APASO (the association of performing arts service organizations) and dozens more serving visual, media and the literary arts (to say nothing of the broader nonprofit universe). My own research into this corner of the non-profit arts sector leads me to conclude that getting the balance right is a matter of survival.
Kim argues that for an intermediary simply to respond to member needs is not enough. They need to "take a stand on the importance of unpopular issues that benefit the sector as a whole," she writes.
It seems to me that this is not the whole story.
An intermediary can both be attentive to member-needs and invest in activities that bring the whole field forward if they can articulate very clearly to its members how they'll benefit in both the short and the long term.
In politics elected officials get booted out of office when they lose touch with their constituents. It may be that leaders can see trouble (and opportunities) that their followers can not, but being an effective mobilizer of support to tackle the challenges – and capitalize on the opportunities – requires making the story plain.
Interviews with leaders of arts-service organizations affirms Kim's perspective that membership organizations provide connection within a field, hold the sector's institutional knowledge and are valued for the way they create community. But as a practical matter, membership directors assert that the transactional benefits members get drive their commitment to the organization – and are the leading reasons why they pay their dues.
And for the typical arts-service organization those dues are the largest source of unrestricted revenue, and thus they're incredibly valuable (even if they usually making up a small fraction of the organization's total revenue).
Kim points out two inspiring examples of member-based organizations that took courageous stands about where they felt their fields needed to go. I agree that as a field leader one can't be held hostage to a recalcitrant minority, but one can't turn one's back on what one's membership wants either. In the examples cited at Grantmakers in the Arts and the American Alliance of Museums, "bold communication" was critical to bringing their constituents along to support a change whose impact would be long-term.
Our world is too interconnected to be parochial in our work these days. The butterfly effects of a policy change in one area or in one part of the country will ripple through the lived-reality of people operating in another. But, as membership based organizations strive to shape the future (rather than be shaped by it), they must acknowledge their core competencies, the resources they have to work with, and the high-priority needs of members who depend on them as they determine how far they can stretch to answer Kim's question with an emphatic yes to serving member needs today and shaping the field for tomorrow.
