As some readers know, I made a big push to plan meals earlier in the year. Then I scrapped the meal plan and I'm slowly coming to a happy medium. The meal plan didn't always work because it didn't give me the flexibility I needed to buy the food that's in season and cheap. Plus it brought out my crazy side, which my family shouldn't have to see every single day.
I've adopted a new way of shopping. I just estimate how much we eat during the week, and buy that much. We buy a lot of fruit. My general goal with shopping is to avoid all packaging, and not to waste any food at the end of the week. So as we come near to shopping day, I try to finish all produce except root vegetables before getting anything more. I buy carbs- flour, pasta, rice in bulk from Macro and the nearby Korean store.
I've been on a food journey with you these last few years, and some things have stuck, others not. While theoretically I want to eat only unprocessed oats, the reality is I need both whole oats and rolled oats, both brown rice and white rice, because I don't always remember to soak foods.
So for this stage in our lives, where I'm trying to be part of a home that's pretty peaceful, a few things are working well: The food I buy from the grocery should have just one, preferably unprocessed ingredient, and I should know that ingredient. This idea is from Michael Pollan. My exceptions are cheese, which I don't yet make myself, chocolate (sometimes), and occasionally bakery bread.
I no longer have a grocery budget. I used to try to keep my grocery spending low, but I'm beginning to think abundance in food- good, healthy, plentiful food- is surely as important as anything imaginable. Maybe even as important as giving or showing our kids the world! So as we gradually find better sources of foods I try to extricate myself from all guilt associated with buying better, more expensive food- often in smaller quantities- so we're not buying much meat or cheese. I acknowledge this is a luxury, and my goal here in Cape Town is, over the course of five years or so, to get to know the producers of all of our family's food. Join me in the journey if you can!


1.	A sales manager uses a Qlik dashboard to analyze aggregated sales performance data. Based on the data, he decides to boost sales in one region by running a new promotion. Using the LLodi widget on the dashboard, he enters the Product Category, Region, Discount Level, and Promotion Duration in days. When he pushes the Submit button, LLodi creates a campaign in Salesforce, and within the campaign it creates a task for each sales representative in the region and an opportunity for each account in the region. LLodi also inserts details taken from the BI application, such as the probability of success and the expected revenue. Previously, to achieve the same outcome, the sales manager would have signed into Salesforce and manually setup the campaign and each task and opportunity.
2.	A marketer uses Tableau to analyze sales data and segment accounts based on a recency, frequency, and monetary (RFM) analysis. Once the marketer determines the rating for a specific account, she clicks on the LLodi widget, enters the rating for the account and hits Submit. LLodi sends the request to Microsoft Dynamics CRM to update the Rating Group of the account with the correct value. It is a seamless workflow that allows the marketer to enhance the data in the source system without having to leave the dashboard or her analysis process.
•	User Independence: Empowers business users to initiate actions in other systems, such as fixing incorrect data or creating tasks for sales representatives, without IT support.
•	Improved Agility: Transmits real-time decisions to marketing, sales, operations, and other systems for immediate action.
•	Easy Setup: Ability to add actionable controls to any existing interactive dashboard from Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI. Requires virtually no modifications to existing dashboards.
•	A Powerful Ecosystem: LLodi can initiate workflows in dozens of leading applications, so business intelligence partners have unending opportunities to create custom solutions.
•	A Customizable Widget: The heavy lifting is already done. Business intelligence partners simply customize aesthetic elements (labels, folders, etc.) and make the widget available to customers.
•	Extended Integration: Leveraging BiyCloud's template, integration partners can create their own maps and extend the solution into other applications to meet a more varied set of needs for their clients.
•	A Value Add: For all partners, LLodi provides the opportunity to create new revenue streams quickly and easily.

ON24 is the leading webinar marketing platform for demand generation, lead qualification and customer engagement. Its award winning, patented, cloud based platform enables companies of all sizes to deliver engaging live and on demand webinars. Providing industry-leading analytics can be integrated with all leading marketing automation and CRM platforms, ON24 enables marketers.
ON24 develops webcasting, virtual training and online presentation solutions. More than 1,200 customers use its SaaS products to host webinars, training sessions and tall hall events. These customers wanted quick access to event-related data- registration details, interactions and other information- so that sales teams could quickly and effectively engage with prospects.
Previous attempts at solving the problem- providing manual data exports and offering raw feeds via an application programming interface (API)- were not enough. Customers found exports were too slow or difficult to manage, and they did not want to adapt their systems to integrate the feed. They wanted a simple, foolproof and automated solution that linked ON24 services with their CRM and marketing automation systems.
For ON24, meeting this demand was not a nice-to have. Easy integration would be a selling point for its solutions and enable the company to capture additional market share if it could make initial and future integration fast, maintainable and cost-effective.
For ON24, this demand was not a nice-to-have. Easy integration would be a selling point for its solutions and enable the company to capture additional market share if it could make initial and future integration fast, maintainable and cost effective.
The plan was to write code that would connect ON24 services with the APIs of the most popular CRM and marketing automation platforms. To test the approach, developers created a custom integration to a single, relatively simple product. The cost and time for this activity exceeded initial estimates. A second integration, involving only two fields, produced similar results.
Together, these issues made an internal solution too risky in terms of delivering a quality experience and retaining profitability.
Given the apparent costs, resource requirements and issues associated with custom coding its integrations, ON24 turned to Scribe Software.
Scribe offers a cloud-based integration platform that makes it easy and cost-effective to connect to many SaaS services. Besides directly maintaining connections to the most popular CRM and MA products, the Scribe ecosystem makes hundreds of partner-created connectors available including: Eloqua, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Hubspot, SugarCRM, Microsoft CRM, NetSuite, Salesforce.com, Marketo and Silverpop.
Using information learned from trying its custom code approach, ON24 quickly realized that leveraging Scribe would enable it to profitably exceed its customer needs. By connecting once to Scribe, ON24 immediately could leverage the existing Scribe connectors for the most important CRM and MA offerings. And, by relying on Scribe, ON24 would not have to worry about connector maintenance, such as updating code as APIs changed.From a business standpoint, ON24 could now tout its connectivity as a major product feature and competitive differentiator. Every existing and new customer suddenly had instant access to analytics from virtual events in their own CRM and marketing automation systems. And beyond increasing customer satisfaction and converting more prospects, ON24 estimates it will save $4MM in integration costs for clients over 5 years.
ON24 was recently named the leading Webcasting platform for marketing by Forrester Research, which cited the depth and breadth of their integration as an important factor.
As the premier telecommunications company in its region, Voice & Data Networks has built a large and growing family of customers across the Midwest.
To provide detailed, real-time information to sales and service staff, Voice & Data Networks needed to integrate its Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution with Dynamics GP. Finding the integration tools available from Microsoft unable to meet the full extent of the company's requirements, Voice & Data Networks turned to its software consulting and implementation partner, InterDyn Business Microvar, which recommended Scribe Insight.
By providing real-time, bidirectional integration between Dynamics CRM and Dynamics GP, Scribe Insight enables the staff at Voice & Data Networks to immediately determine if the desired product and quantity is available, locate the point of origination—whether in stock or through a partner—and even see the customer's credit information, all in a single interface.
For the integration between Dynamics CRM and Dynamics GP to be successful, Voice & Data Networks had to first migrate information from its previous contact manager, Siebel Front Office, to Dynamics CRM and then reconcile any duplicate or inconsistent records. With 25,000 contacts and 18,000 accounts, this was no small task, yet Scribe Insight enabled Voice & Data to complete the migration quickly and easily.
As with the migration, Voice & Data Networks completed the integration between Dynamics CRM and Dynamics GP smoothly, thanks to the Scribe Adapter for Microsoft Dynamics GP. While partner InterDyn Business Microvar took on the lion's share of the integration work, Prayfrock and his team also used Scribe Insight to address the nuances required to meet the company's unique integration requirements.
"Scribe Insight had most of the integration capabilities we needed built in," says Prayfrock. "But it also had the flexibility so we could make a few modifications without causing any problems.
It's natural that throughout the integration, Voice & Data would face some unforeseen issues. But at each turn, Scribe Insight continued to stand up to the challenges.

By: Ryan Gasser, sports information director
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University women's lacrosse team will be heading to the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament Championship for the third time in four years following its 16-12 victory over Baldwin Wallace University on Wednesday night.
Capital will be heading to Alliance to take on the University of Mount Union for a second time this season, this time to vie for the conference tournament championship and a spot in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. This is now the third time Capital had advanced to the OAC title game, each time against the Purple Raiders at Mount Union Stadium. Game time from Alliance has been set for 7 p.m.
The rematch between Baldwin Wallace and Capital went a little differently the second time around in that the Yellow Jackets kept it closer than the previous 10-goal decision back on March 23. What did carry over is Capital's tight defense shutting down the Yellow Jackets.
Baldwin Wallace (9-7 overall) committed 18 turnovers in the first half alone and finished the game with 31, serving as a primary cause for defeat. The Crusaders pressured the BW advance, leading the Yellow Jackets to finish 3-of-13 on clearance attempts in the first half. With Capital in control of the rock for much of the first half, it was no surprise that the Purple and White held a 23-10 shot advantage that fed into an 8-5 halftime lead.
Despite Baldwin Wallace getting on the board first, Kathryn Walton (Pickerington, Ohio/Pickerington Central) jumpstarted another spectacular performance with Cap's first goal of the game and then another to tie it up, 2-2. Her second goal, which was scored off of a turnover in the middle of the field off the goalie's entry pass, started a chain of five unanswered Capital goals. Amid that run, she finished off the hat trick with a man-up goal at the midway point. Senior Makenna Ozenghar scored twice in that run and before the 15-minute mark Cap had built a 6-2 lead.
Three different BW players scored goals before the end of the half and were combated by Walton's fourth goal and Brooke Delara's first, leading to an 8-5 CU halftime lead.
As the first half started, so did the second with BW's Brie Martineau scoring the kick it off. While the Yellow Jackets fared better in transition, they still maintained issues turning the ball over. Again they were outshot and outscored with the only thing keeping them close to the Crusaders was its free-position shooting. BW went 4-for-5 off the arc, but Capital kept the pressure on an equaled their first-half output.
Brianna Rampi (Hilliard, Ohio/Hilliard Darby) got into the scoring column with a goal and shortly after Ozenghar completed her hat trick to grow the lead to 10-6. The goal of the night came shortly after followed by a piece of history for the CU program. Walton's fifth and final goal dazzled the fans at Bernlohr Stadium when broke through the BW defense by spinning through a small gap to create space and buried the shot. Less than one minute later, Walton caused a turnover that led to another Capital goal but it served an important moment in Cap history. With that caused turnover, Walton became the first CU women's lacrosse player to hit 100 caused turnovers in a career.
While Baldwin Wallace mustered a small 3-0 run to bring them to within three goals of Cap, Delara combated that with her third goal of the night and with time winding down Rampi and Taylor Barclay added a man-up goal each after the Yellow Jackets were tagged with a pair of yellow cards. Capital's defense kept BW off the board for an 11-minute stretch in the second half leading into the final horn.
Walton and Ozenghar both finished with five caused turnovers and combined for nine goals and three assists. Walton also posted nine ground ball and five draw controls to lead the team in both categories. Delara had a five-point night behind three goals and two helpers. Also getting goals were Rampi (2), Barclay (1) and Dana Stover (1). Freshman Luci Kanowski ended with two assists.
Between the pipes, Lisa Lotz got the win after making three saves. Her counterpart, Ashleigh Hildreth, was under heavy fire and made 15 saves.

The Wave and Ripple filters are very similar, except that Wave creates parallel waves instead of waves that radiate from a point.
Selecting the Process Alpha Only checkbox allows you to distort the alpha channel without changing the underlying colors.
Height and Perpendicular Height determine the strength of the wave. Height controls the amount of displacement in the direction of the wave, and Trans. (Transverse) Height sets the amount of displacement perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
Wave Width determines the distance between the peaks of the wave. The Wave Width does not affect the maximum displacement of each point in the image, but it does affect how fast the displacement changes from point to point in the image. Wave Width also affects the total number of waves visible in the effect, because as the waves become wider, fewer fit on the screen.
Speed and Phase control the motion of the waves as they move. If you look at any one peak in the wave, Speed controls the rate at which the peak moves, and Phase controls the position of the peak.
The default Speed setting of 10 moves the waves at a rate of one wave width per second. A negative Speed value moves the waves in the opposite direction. When Speed is 0, the waves are stationary (unless Phase is interpolating to a different value during the effect).
Note: The Speed and Phase controls provide several ways to control the movement of the waves over time.
To precisely control the point at which the wave effect begins (for example, whether it begins at a peak or a trough), adjust the Phase control in the first frame of the effect until the wave is at the desired point. To control the number of waves that pass by over the duration of the clip, set Speed to 0 and animate Phase to create movement. For example, suppose you want exactly five waves to form and disperse. Set the first keyframe of the clip to a Phase of 0. Set a keyframe at the last frame in the clip to 1800° (5 x 360°). Exactly five full waves form over the duration of the clip.
Wave Angle sets the angle between the direction of wave motion and the horizontal axis.
The Chaos parameters control shape of the waves, change the look of the waves by adding distortion or chaos, or create the appearance of waves that dissipate as they move.
The WaveForm menu setting determines the shape of the wave. These choices fall into two categories: Shape waveforms and Spectrum waveforms.
The Shape waveforms are mathematically derived and are not intended to look natural. For a more natural-looking alternative, experiment with the Spectrum waveforms. These waveforms are all variations of the sine wave that can produce less regular, more realistic looking waves.
The Chaos Wave's waveform is determined by the Chaos Wave value, which relates to the fourteen Spectrum waveforms listed in the Waveforms menu in the Basic tab. A Chaos Wave value of 10 uses the Spectrum 1 waveform as the Chaos Wave, 20 uses the Spectrum 2 waveform, and so on. Values between two multiples of 10 create a mix of the two adjacent Spectrum waves.
Chaos Blend controls the mix of the specified waveform (determined by the WaveForm menu) with the Chaos Wave setting. If Chaos Blend is set to 0, the resulting wave conforms to the WaveForm setting. At a Chaos Blend value of 100, the filter uses only the Chaos Wave. Intermediate values blend between the two. You can change the Chaos Blend value to adjust the amount of chaos added to the basic waveform.
The Peak Point and Decay Distance interact to produce a wave that decays as it moves. As the wave advances, it stays at full strength until it reaches the Peak Point, beyond which it decays until it hits the Decay Distance, where it levels out.
strength at its highest point (the Peak Point).
The Intensity menu includes three settings: Low, Normal, and High.
Low scales down the Height and Perpendicular Height values by a factor of 10, which can be useful if you are working with small waves and want fine control over the parameters.
High multiplies the Height and Perpendicular Height values by a factor of 10 and can produce very exaggerated and unnatural-looking wave effects.
The Light parameters adjusts the lighting of the wave in the filtered image.
Light Width affects the size of the lit area on the wave crest. Increasing this value causes a wider part of the crest to be lit; decreasing it diminishes the lit portion of the wave.
Light Focus adjusts the shape of the light over each wave. Increasing Light Focus causes the light to look wider and more diffuse; decreasing Light Focus makes the light bands sharper and narrower.
Ambient Light adjusts the diffuse light on the image. The default setting of 100 does not add or subtract ambient light from the source image. Decreasing this setting makes the image darker before the other light is applied. Ambient Light illuminates or darkens the image evenly, and is unaffected by any other lighting parameters.
The PixelChooser does not affect the Ambient Light setting. Ambient Light is applied to all pixels. This ensures that the PixelChooser does not create discrepancies in the overall lighting of the image before Wave is applied. Thus, at the default Ambient Light value of 100 (where no ambient light is added or subtracted), the PixelChooser behaves exactly as in other filters; at other values PixelChooser filters every parameter except Ambient Light.
The Apply Mode menu controls how the filtered image is composited with the source image. For descriptions of all the possible Apply Modes, Click Here.


Hi there! I just wanted to post what I am working on!
I am the proud new owner of Betty. My new Bernina! Yes, I've already named her. My husband said that he hasn't seen me this happy since the birth of our last child! ;) I was pretty darn happy when I walked out of the Bernina shop with my new sewing machine. I have already sewn an entire quilt top on Betty, and she sews like a dream! I couldn't be happier with her, and I'm sure we will be spending a lot of quality time together for the next several years!
I am still doing the Have Yourself a Quilty Little Christmas with Lori Holt! I am having so much fun making these blocks! I love the tree block! I am pretty sure I could make an entire quilt with these cute trees!
My mittens! I had fun making these little lovelies!
Pearl is my little sewing buddy! She loves hanging out with me when I sew!
Last week, I cut out these squares for Charlie's new bed quilt! With the help of my mom last weekend, we got the top sewn, I just need to add a few borders and quilt! This will be for Christmas!
So, my blog has been a bit quiet the past few months.....I promise all is well! Just very busy, and I'm afraid it looks like it's not slowing down anytime soon!
Since summer has come to a close, and fall has creeped up on us, I have been starting to decorate the inside of my house. :) It's been six months since we've moved in, and I am just starting on the inside!
A few weeks ago, I decided I needed a new wreath for my door. I had a really cute one on my door that my sister made me, but it was more summery and I wanted something more neutral for fall.
This was so easy to make, and really inexpensive. I stained the clothespins with a walnut stain, let them dry and then attached them onto an embroidery hoop. I then hot glued a W onto the wreath, and hung it with some script fabric and called it good!
Hopefully it won't be so long until my next post!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Director Claims He Got Family Approval for That Unexpected Cameo
With the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, the narrative unfolded in a different universe from the first two films, resulting in fans being more surprised when there were cameos and references to those first two adventures. However, with Ghostbusters: Afterlife serving as the third film in the original narrative, the connections were much more blatant, obvious, and expected, yet director Jason Reitman still managed to find ways to surprise audiences. Of one of the more unexpected elements, Reitman recently confirmed that he wouldn't have moved forward with those elements had he not gotten family approval ahead of time. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is in theaters now.
WARNING: Spoilers below for Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Given that actor and writer Harold Ramis passed away in 2014, the film instead focused on the descendants of his Egon Spengler, with Reitman confirming the importance of him earning approval from Ramis' family.
"I was never going to make this movie unless they were comfortable with the portrayal of Harold," Reitman shared with The Hollywood Reporter. "Everyone has a favorite Beatle. And everyone has a favorite Ghostbuster. My favorite was always Egon."
Ahead of the film's release, audiences had become aware that original stars such as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson would be making appearances in the film, while also knowing that Carrie Coon would be playing Egon's daughter. The narrative sees the daughter, and her children Phoebe (McKenna Grace) and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard), inheriting Egon's farm.
More than Spengler offering a narrative presence in the film, he also appeared in the adventure, much to the surprise of audiences. The opening sequence depicts the character (albeit with his face obscured) outrunning and attempting to trap an otherworldly presence, only to meet his demise at the hands of the presence. Additionally, the film's finale sees the Spengler family and a number of allies attempting to vanquish Gozer, the villain from the original movie, as the ghost of Egon with Ramis' appearance shows up to lend a hand from the other side. Spengler doesn't talk in his spectral form, but other characters get to deliver last words to him before he vanishes.
Egon's appearance should serve as a final tribute to Ramis, with Reitman noting how he aimed to offer a new take on the beloved Ghostbuster's personality with the new film.
"When I came up with these kids, Phoebe and Trevor, I realized they were the grandchildren of Egon. And that was the reason to make the movie," Reitman pointed out. "There was something really lovely about the character of Egon, I think a lot of people can relate to, and that is Egon struggled to communicate with the world. And we wanted to create in Phoebe a character in just the same way: a 12-year-old girl, who, like all Ghostbusters, is an outsider who becomes a hero by putting on the proton pack."
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is in theaters now.

Please advice... Thanks

A: You can get information about the background of this error from: http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered
In summary, m2e execution inside eclipse might not work as expected for some phases, and maven requires an explicit command (i.e. ignore, execute or delegate) in order to decide what to do at that phase.
Recent eclipse versions (I am using Kepler) provide a "Quick fix" option when you right click on the error, and it adds the <pluginManagement> setting in your pom file. You can replace            th <ignore /> action with the suitable one, if you prefer to "execute" or "delagate".

AXXA wanted to build a website that would deliver information to their international stakeholders using a simple and clean approach.
Bravo Net's solution was a visually-led website that played heavily on the use of glossy and highly engaging imagery. Their brand identity in the form of a simple 3-color palette (gold, black and white) was incorporated into many elements of the visually-led theme. In this way, the spirit and philosophy of the brand could flow seamlessly through all visuals of the website.
Our partnership with AXXA also included support in the form of training their staff on the use of the website content management system (CMS), and ongoing website maintenance and bug fixes.

Q: javascript: adding objects to an array changes the object properties I'm trying to create an array of color values. I define the color values as objects:

    let rgbPalette = [];
    var color1 = {r: 152, g: 52, b: 211, a: 255};
    rgbPalette.push(color1);
    var color2 = {r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, a: 0};
    rgbPalette.push(color2);

    console.log(rgbPalette);

when log the array to the console, i get different property values of the objects:
rgbPalette:
(2) [{…}, {…}]
0: {r: 151, g: 51, b: 210, a: 255}
1: {r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, a: 8}
length: 2
__proto__: Array(0)

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on here? Thanks.


Many modern technologies in distributed computing, database applications, and Web Services are relying on the efficient exchange and presentation of information in XML format and database vendors such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Sybase have developed proprietary specialized tools to present information from relational tables as XML documents. In general, these tools are extensions to Structured Query Language (SQL) with embedded new XML functionality or specialized software for processing XML templates with SQL queries. This paper presents vendor-neutral Universal XML Interface to Database (UXID) to process XML templates to extract data from data sources and present them as XML documents. UXID is a layer above any universal data access technologies like ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, or others that provide API to expose data sources in tabular form called rowsets. UXID is based on a Contiguous Memory Tree formatting scheme and its rich API (including SAX event processing and DOM API) that completely resolves Parsing and Processing Efficiency, permitting an efficient interchange format for XML which is crucial for database applications. Particularly, if extracted hierarchical data need to be stored or exchanged with other applications, they would be copied as a stream to disk or any media and copied back without serializing and parsing, to be instantly accessed by application. The transformation of relational data by UXID uses Query Translation Schema (QTS) as the only input that users should prepare to build a desired XML document. The QTS is based on two simple templates and describes transformation and formatting rules to build XML output. If database tables had changed or data to be extracted has to be changed, only the QTS needs to be rewritten, but UXID itself remains intact.
Relational Databases have become the primary tool for data storage and retrieval systems. In addition, modern data-intensive applications require the integration of information stored in file systems, indexed-sequential files, desktop databases, spreadsheets, electronic mail, directory services, multimedia data stores, spatial data stores, and other data sources. Evolved powerful strategies such as Microsoft Universal Data Access  or IBM Universal Database  provide solutions for distributed, multiplatform client/server and Web-based data-driven applications to define, query, modify, and control the data in universal way and make all types of data sources easy to access and maintain by vendor independent applications. Based on these strategies, universal API to data sources exposes information uniformly, using a common abstraction called the rowset . A rowset is the unifying abstraction that enables API to expose data from data sources in tabular form. Conceptually, a rowset is a multi-set of rows where each row has columns of data. Query processors present the result of queries in the form of rowsets. Basic functionalities that rowset objects have are the iterating through rows in the rowset sequentially, accessing data in a row, and providing information about the columns of the rowset.
A rowset is self-describing object that contains data and metadata, created by executing a query against the data source. Because of its self-describing nature, rowset information can be easily represented in a descriptive and flexible language such as XML to provide the hierarchical view of data and support a streaming and persisting format for rowsets. Extensible Markup Language, abbreviated XML, was defined in the XML 1.0 Specification  published by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C). It identifies a class of data objects called XML documents and partially describes the behavior of computer programs which process them as an XML Processor. XML documents are well-formed, meaning in particular, that components that constitute the documents are also XML documents, are extensively self-descriptive, and allow an XML processor to read XML documents to provide access to their content, structure, and all information inside the documents. These XML features, along with the well defined syntax and the textual encoding, allow the formation of the rich structure of information and data that can be examined by people, and exchanged and interpreted by computers in a self-documented, self-describing, and extensible way.
Many modern technologies in distributed computing, database applications, and Web Services, particularly SOAP messages, are relying on the efficient exchange and presentation of information in XML format and database vendors such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Sybase have developed proprietary specialized tools to present information from relational tables as XML documents. In general, these tools are extensions to Structured Query Language (SQL) and based on newly developed standard SQL/XML . Implementations have built in database SQL new XML functions - XMLELEMENT, XMLATTRIBUTES, and others to query relational data and return XML documents [12, 14].
Another approach to create XML documents from queries is based on templates where a database vendor offers specialized software to build and process XML templates. A query to extract data from a database is embedded in the template that presents the resulting rowset table columns as elements in the XML document. This XML template is used by specialized API to query the database, retrieve the results in XML format, and use the results in an XSLT processing to create the required XML document .
This paper presents a Universal XML Interface to Database (UXID) to process vendor-neutral XML templates to extract data from data sources based on universal data access and present them as XML documents. UXID is a layer above any universal data access technologies like ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, or others. Hierarchical Row Set (HRS) API and Data Access Programming Interface (DAPI) constitute UXID. HRS uses few methods to connect to the database, execute SQL statements (queries), get information about the column from the query, and convert the data from SQL type to a given type and back. These methods are included in DAPI, a uniform interface for different software makers' connection to databases, and their implementations wrap appropriate methods from particular data access technology that is used by applications, but DAPI itself as interface, is general for all of them. HRS comprises methods enabling the user to query relational data, extract information, and build desired XML documents to present or exchange them with other applications or users.
In some database applications, when document size and processing time are the issues, the advantages of XML usage are tempered by the inefficiencies that stem from the original textual encoding . The main properties considered lacking with XML for a potentially efficient interchange format are Compactness and Processing Efficiency and Parsing, the step where components of an XML document are transformed from a stream of text data to application objects, being the main deterrent to Processing Efficiency. Although there are many parsers available on the market, it still remains the obstacle in processing XML documents [4, 11, 13]. The Contiguous Memory Tree (CMT) and its Memory XML API completely resolve Parsing and Processing Efficiency, permitting an efficient interchange format for XML . CMT is based on the presentation of XML documents as a tree that contiguously resides in memory, and is simultaneously a stream that can be directly copied as a message as well as an application object that can be directly accessed through the Memory XML API. It provides methods for development of robust applications to manipulate various XML documents without initial parsing or serialization.
HRS extends Memory XML API  and inherits all its advantages against other formatting schemes for XML processing, like [4, 11, 13], that are crucial for database applications. Memory XML API and HRS have all the functionality of the SAX parser  and DOM Interface  and in addition, does not need to read and evaluate markup or decode information items, and thus is significantly more efficient than any known parser by the elapsed time that a parser needs to parse or search an XML text.
HRS API transforms each row set into a CMT hierarchy and then produces different XML presentations of extracted data. As with any XML transformation, it is based on processing templates , in this case, Query Translation Schema (QTS), which is the only input for API to run a query and build XML document based on the result set. There are only two simple templates to build any QTS as deep as necessary and the process to write QTS based on queries is described later in this paper.
HRS API is also useful for Embedded SQL category interfaces where SQL statements are incorporated into the source code of an application. In this case QTS cannot be used, but embedded into the application SQL statements should extract data directly into HRS CMT and then XML documents could be built based on HRS API.
UXID that comprises HRS and DAPI is vendor independent way to extract information from databases in XML format regardless of operating systems and programming languages like C++ with direct access to memory or Java, Perl, Visual Basic, and others with the ability to contiguously allocate arrays in memory. If extracted hierarchical data need to be stored or exchanged with other applications, they would be copied as a stream to disk or any media and copied back without serializing and parsing, which is the main feature inherited from CMT. Another major advantage comes from independence of HRS API to any database structure. If database was changed or data to be extracted has to be changed, only QTS needs to be rewritten but HRS remains intact.
To verify UXID functionality a sample project was built in Microsoft Visual C++ 6 environment with ability to use any QTS and database that has ODBC driver to run extraction process and build desired XML documents. This project available from the author upon request via email and users may try their own schemes and databases to extract relational data in XML format.
Each <Query> template has one <Statement> element and at least one
 element. The value of the <Statement> element is the text of the query to be executed. The SQL SELECT statement queries data from tables in the database and specifies a list of columns and expressions to be retrieved from the tables. All top-level
 elements for <Query> are independent from each other. Columns and expressions from the query are distributed, in the order in which they appear, between its
 children and grand children.
Each
 template has at least two children: <Columns> and <Rows>. <Columns> children Column1, Column2, … correspond to columns and expressions from the query list in <Statement>, and the element <Rows> collects the result from the query row set in hierarchical order.
 may have one or many
 elements as children positioned after <Rows>. In this case, the parent
 has key elements that are indicated as attribute KEY in the corresponded <Columns> elements. All
 elements have the attribute TNAME.
 may also have children <Query> elements positioned after <Rows> element. A child <Query> has input parameters that are values from the parent <Columns> elements that are indicated in the <Statement>.
These two basic templates are the building blocks to write QTS for queries. Once the queries have been tested and the structure of the output XML document has been determined, we may start to write QTS to run extraction and formatting processes. We may always reorder the queries list of columns and expressions to facilitate building the XML hierarchy with QTS. The first section in QTS defines the root element <RootQuery>. The root element of QTS is not an instruction and it may be named to reflect the output XML document. The root element may have several independent <Query> elements on the top level. The query text should be the value in the <Query> child <Statement>. Next, we have to map the query list of column names and expressions to
 elements and sub-elements in the order they appear in the list. It mainly depends on how we would like to format the output XML document and hierarchical dependencies between list items. Like in any canonical table-based or result set mapping [12, 14], the names of the child elements for <Columns> map to the query list of columns and expression names in the order they appear in the result set. The names of the child elements in the <Columns> do not necessarily have to match the row set names and naming should be based on the output XML document construction, but the order for how names appear in the result set and QTS is essential.
There are two ways to implement hierarchy in QTS, based on relation and parameters. The first way models the relation for two rows via an equality predicate between key column values. A parent
 and a child
 create the relation hierarchy. For this case, the first part of the query list of columns and expressions constitutes the parent
 <Columns> and the second part, the child
. If key columns values in any two rows from row set match then the child rows from child
 <Rows> has the same parent row from parent
 <Rows>. This parent-child relationship between
 elements may be repeated at any level if the query has several tables with key columns.
The QTS example in Appendix A presents the relation hierarchy. In the first query, the item list consists of CategoryID, CategoryName, ProductName, ProductSales columns and the column CategoryID is the primary key in the table Categories. Items from the query list were split into two
s in QTS:
 Categories with columns CategoryID and CategoryName and
 ProductSales with columns ProductName, ProductSale.
 is child in the
 and presents one-too-many relationships in a row set, because we do not want to repeat the rows with the same CategoryID in
 ProductSales.
Another type of hierarchy in QTS models relation between the parent
 and its child <Query> based on parameters for when a child <Query> statement has some parent
 columns as input parameters. After a <Query> statement for parent
 is executed, the child query should be run for each row from the parent query, with parameter values from the parent row. This parent-child relationship between the
 element and its child <Query> may be repeated at any level with parameter values from the parent and grandparent rows.
The QTS example in Appendix B presents the parameterized hierarchy. It produces the same output XML document, but has a different structure. The query that we discussed in the relation hierarchy is split here into two, where the first query is processed with
 Category and the second is the child query in this element. The child query has an input parameter that is prefixed by the @ sign, followed by the corresponding child name from the <Columns> in the
 Category. This syntax tells the HRS API that child query in the
 Categories should run for each row from the first query and use the value CategoryID from this row as the input parameter. The choice between two structures of QTS in Appendixes A and in B depends on implementation and is based on queries performance or other reasons to split the parent query.
Another component in QTS is formatting rules to produce a desired output XML document. Like standard-based functions XMLELEMENT, XMLATTRIBUTES, and others [12, 14] they transform a value from a row set into an XML element or its attribute. By default, all values from the row set are presented in a formatted XML document. The attribute CFORMAT="NO" in a <Columns> child in QTS indicates that we do not want this element to be included in the output XML and it would be skipped when formatting. Also, if we want that <Columns> child to be written as an attribute in the
 element, we present it in QTS like <Column2 CFORMAT="attributeName" />. Here attributeName is our choice for the attribute name in the output XML document and the Column2 value we want to be presented as attribute value. Two different formatting schemes for the same row set hierarchy are presented in Appendixes B and C.
All described rules are interpreted in the HRS object when it is built.
- writeXML(char* document): writes a required XML document based on formatting rules built in HRS object from QTS.
The array of characters, DocumentValues, for each document to hold elements and attributes values for the whole document.
The array of characters, RowSet, to hold extracted data from database in one buffer.
These arrays contiguously reside in memory and can be directly copied to a disk and brought back to be instantly accessed by an application without parsing or serialization steps. This significant advantage Hierarchical Row Set Contiguous Memory Tree (HRS CMT) against other formatting schemes, coupled with direct access to any node in the CMT schema without navigating a tree structure. To find a node on the tree and use its attributes and values, an application has to navigate the tree to compare the nodes with a given one. After HRS CMT or Hierarchy, SchemaComponents, DocumentValues, and RowSet arrays were built, they remain unchanged, even when they are stored, and we may write out starting positions for their elements as constants and make them available for applications for direct access or fast search.
QTS describes the rules to run the extraction process and build desired XML documents in human readable standard textual format. In order for an application to access the content of a XML document, it must be interpreted as application objects. Method buildCMT(char*) takes QTS as an input, interprets translation and formatting rules, and builds an HRS CMT object. This step should be done only once. The process to build CMT or arrays Hierarchy, SchemaComponents, DocumentValues described in . Based on the main properties of CMT after HRS CMT is built, it may be copied to a disk or used by application to have instant and direct access to all elements and information without parsing, which is much more efficient than parsing original QTS again.
buildCMT() also verifies queries and explores metadata to find platform dependant size and type for all <Columns> children elements. Extraction from database are kept without changes in RowSet buffer, while size and type of each column would be used by DAPI to calculate the relative position in memory to locate and provide the value of the column from the RowSet to the application.
Once HRS CMT for any particular QTS is built, the application may execute translate() method to extract data from database into HRS CMT hierarchy. First, an application should instantiate an HRS object and copy the HRS CMT from the disk if it is not in memory. Now it is instantly ready to run translate() method that recursively processes HRS CMT by repeatedly calling getNextEvent(bool &startTag) method. Like in any SAX event, processing this method allows one to navigate whole XML tree structure by repeatedly calling it and returns startTag = true if it encounters the start of an XML element, otherwise it is false. The transformation process also uses methods from DAPI described later.
As mentioned above, there are two basic templates to be processed.
1. When translate() processing encounters an element <Query> with StartTag = true, it passes control to its child <Statement> to execute the method executeQuery(qDex, stmt) from DAPI, where stmt is the query statement and qDex is the query handle. Values stmt and qDex are stored in <Query> element for subsequent use. Before call executeQuery translate() sets all parameters in the stmt using values from the parent rows that have already saved.
2. At this point in the <Query> element translate() executes DAPI::getRow(rowPosition, qDex) to copy a row to the buffer rowPosition from the query row set with handle qDex that was saved in the <Query> element. All row sets from QTS queries, row by row are to be copied directly into a buffer RowSet in the HRS object. When translate() repeatedly calls getRow the char *rowPosition is the position in the buffer RowSet that is available to write the next row from a rowset. This approach has two advantages: the application does not need any additional transformation to use the data from queries output and the buffer RowSet contiguously resides in memory and if application needs to store row sets it simply copies buffer with whole HRS CMT to the disk.
3. If DAPI::getRow returns no row, thus all rows were processed or there was no row in the row set, translate() sets startTag = false and calls getNextEvent(startTag) to go out from this <Query> element.
4. If DAPI::getRow returns a row translate() copies it in the buffer RowSet and passes control to the first element
 for further processing as a
 template.
5. When all
 elements from <Query> were processed the method getNextEvent(startTag) sets the <Query> element and returns startTag = false. At this point translate() completed processing the current row from query result set and returns execution flow back to step 2 to get new row.
Processing
 template builds two hierarchies in HRS CMT: rows in the
 elements as database table and parent-child relationship between rows from all row sets from QTS queries. The Root Row element for second hierarchy is stored in HRS object when it was built. Parent Row for each
 element is set by translate() before each
 template is to be processed. For top-level
 element in QTS Parent Row is set to Root Row.
The row from a row set is in the buffer RowSet and the part of row to be processed by this
 template is at rowPosition in the buffer. The size of this part derives from the sizes of the <Columns> elements and was saved in the
 element when HRS CTM was built.
1. When a translate() process encounters an element
 with startTag = true and there is no primary key among <Columns> children it adds new child element to <Rows>. Added element points to rowPosition, the part of the row in the buffer RowSet that is to be processed by this
 template, to have direct access to its column values. The second part of added element maintains hierarchy between rows in row sets and translate() sets the added row as a child to the current Parent Row that is saved in
 element for further references.
2. If one of the
 <Columns> children is a primary key translate() tries to find if the row at rowPosition was previously added to its <Rows> element.
2.1. If the row from step 2 was found and its parent row matches current Parent Row, then a new row is not added and the Parent Row is set to the found element.
2.2 In all other than in step 2.1 scenarios translate() adds new child element to <Rows> as in the step 1. In addition, it sets Parent Row to just added element for processing child
 element.
3. After steps 1 or 2 were completed HRS CMT is positioned in <Rows> element with startTag = false and rowPosition is moved right by the size to the next part of the row to be processed.
4. Once translate() encounters
 element with startTag = false it sets Parent Row to the element Parent Row that was assign to this
 and calls getNextEvent(startTag).
Once data were extracted from database into HRS CMT hierarchy, the writeXML(char*) method processes it starting from the Root Row element by repeatedly calling getNextEvent method and writes out XML elements based on formatting rules that were built in HRS CMT from QTS. Appendixes A and C present two different types of formatting for the same extracted data source.
getRow(char *rowBuffer, int *queryIndex): retrieves data for one row in the result set into a predefined buffer rowBuffer.
These methods provide a uniform interface for different software makers' connection to databases and make HRS API independent to build desired XML presentation regardless of source data. Methods from DAPI could be implemented based on any technology mentioned above and after particular Data Access technology was chosen the DAPI implementation simply wraps the appropriate method from chosen library to extract data from any data source compliant with this technology.
To test the UXID functionality we used the ODBC library for Windows platform and CLI library for mainframe OS390.
Writes required XML document based on QTS formatting.
Users Guide and QTS examples.
Executable UXID.exe allows also trying your own QTS and different database that has ODBC driver to run extraction process and build XML documents from relational data.
The Universal XML Interface to Database is the layer above any Universal Data Access Technologies that provide the vendor independent way to extract information from a database in the desired XML format, regardless of operating systems and programming languages.
The transformation of relational data by UXID uses Query Translation Schema as the only input that a user should prepare to build a desired XML document. The QTS describes transformation rules to execute a query and build from relational data a CMT hierarchy that is part of UXID ( HRS) and formatting rules to write a desired XML document. If database had changed or data to be extracted has to be changed, only QTS needs to be rewritten, but UXID itself remains intact.
HRS CMT is also a hierarchical storage for extracted relational data that can be directly copied to a disk and brought back to be instantly accessed by an application without parsing or serialization steps. This feature and the functionality of the SAX parser and DOM Interface gives HRS CMT significant advantages against other formatting schemes for XML processing.

Frida Kahlo – The Love and Life of the Famed Mexican Artist
Published on August 18, 2020 December 7, 2021 by 49 Comments
I've had a fascination with Frida Kahlo since I fell in love with Mexico. Frida was a bohemian free-spirited Mexican artist who is known for her unfettered strength in overcoming debilating physical illness and bullying when she was a young girl, first bedridden with polio, then later in her young womanhood years after recovering from polio, she was severely injured and mamed for life from a bus accident. It was when she was bedridden for months in a body cast that her father invented a makeshift way to hang an easel above her so she could paint, leading to her life as an eventual famous artist.
"Who needs feet when I've got wings to fly" ~Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was born – Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderon on July 6, 1907 in Mexico City, Mexico, and grew up during the Mexican revolution. Frida was the third of four daughters to her Mexican mother and her half German, half Hungarian father, born in Germany. When Frida was six years old she contracted polio and was left with one leg shorter than the other, which of course was good reason for other kids to make fun of her, despite the fact that she always wore long dresses to cover her smaller leg. And despite her illness she was quite clever and managed to excel through and finish high school at Prepatoria, which was recognized as one of Mexico's presitigious high schools.
The first thing Frida is remembered for is the tragic accident she endured when a streetcar crashed into the bus that Frida was on. Frida was just 18 years old on that September 17th day in 1925. The accident had left Frida with several broken and fractured bones, most dangerously her spinal cord was fractured. Being bedridden and immobilized for many months in a full body cast, it was then that Frida began to paint, mostly self-portraits portraying externally how she felt on the inside. And during that time, she realized she wanted to be a painter more than to continue on to study medicine.
"I paint myself because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best" ~ Frida Kahlo
After Frida recovered from the accident, she formed relationships with other artists, and notably, the already famous Diego Rivera, who was 21 years her senior, and he ultimately, became her husband – twice, and the love of her very interesting life.
Frida's paintings continued to emphasize the pain she endured from the accident and the many operations that were to follow, and her exhaustive psychological pain. When asked about the symbolism of her paintings, this notable quote was Frida's reply:
"I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality"~ Frida Kahlo
Frida's art was deeply influenced by her Mexican culture, many paintings using vivid colors and dramatic symbolism, as well as both Christian and Jewish themes. In 1939 the Louvre Museum in Paris bought Kahlo's first piece of 20th century art.
When Frida recovered from being immobilized by the bus accident, she approached Diego Rivera, an already famous painter whose work Frida admired, for advice about pursuing her art career. Rivera knew Frida had talent and guided her to becoming famous in her own right, eventually leading to the fiery love affair they engaged in together. And despite the disapproval of her parents, Frida married Rivera in 1929. It is said her parents referred to them as the 'elephant and the dove' because of their vast size differential to each other.
The relationship between this odd couple was often touted as tumultuous. Both Kahlo and Rivera had fiery instincts, both had extra-marital affairs. Frida was also an open bi-sexual. The saying goes that Diego didn't mind her illicit affairs with women, but he was extremely jealous when she strayed with another man. It is said that the only time Frida didn't approve of Diego's wanderings is when he had an affair with her younger sister. Some thought it was payback from Diego, but it was enough for Frida to end the marriage. But that wasn't the end because they both remarried each other in 1940. And their second go at marriage was just as explosive as it was the first time round.
Later in their marriage, Frida and Diego became Mexican communist sympathizers and became good friends with Leon Trotsky. Later, Trotsky and his wife came to live with the Riveras while hiding out there as they sought sanctuary from the Soviet Union. And once again, Frida had an affair with Trotsky, which upset his wife and sent them packing, and eventually, they were found and Trotsky was assassinated.
Frida died on July 13th, 1954. It was said she died of a pulmonary embolism, but some others say she may have taken her own life with the many medications she took to dull her constant physical pain. In her last year she suffered pneumonia and gangrene in her leg, which was consequently, amputated at the knee. A few days before Frida died. she wrote in her diary:
"I hope the exit is joyful – and I hope never to return – Frida"
Today, Frida's home in Coyoacán, a borough in Mexico City, known as the 'Blue House' – "Casa Azul", is a museum housing many of Frida's works and relics and a pre-Columbian urn containing her ashes. After Frida's passing, in Diego's autobiography, he writes that the most tragic day of his life was when Frida died, adding his regret that only too late did he realize that the best part of his life was the love he held for Frida.
Frida was known for her 'strong dark hairline' across her lip and her almost unibrow above her eyes.
Frida lied about her age, telling people she was born in 1910 when the Mexican revolution began.
Frida appeared on the 1937 cover of American Vogue magazine in an article entitled Senoras of Mexico.
Frida and one of her sisters were briefly jailed as suspects of Leon Trotsky's murder, but were soon cleared.
In 1953 just before Frida's leg was amputated and she suffered with terrible pain, her first solo art exhibition was to take place in Mexico at the Galería Arte Contemporaneo. Kahlo was on bed rest and wasn't about to miss her first solo exhibition so she stubbornly went by ambulance on a stretcher and had her bed moved to the event. It was a year later when Frida died.
Like many artists during their time, Frida wasn't fully as famous in life as she was in death. Most of her adult life she was referred to as Diego's wife rather than the talented artist recognition she didn't gain respect for until after her death.
Frida's fame was hugely acknowledged in the 1970s with the pop culture explosion. At this time women were starting to stand up to be counted and students questioned the exclusions of non Western artists. Also at this time was the coming out of the gay community, which also commended Frida for her openness about her sexuality and her fierce pride for her Mexican roots.
I bought this painting of Frida Kahlo from an artist, on the beach. I watched him paint other Frida images and chose this one, which depicts her beauty and strength.
I also purchased on my numerous visits to Mexico, a beautiful beach coverup with a portrait of Frida painted on the back, as well as a beach bag with Frida's face embroidered on the bag.

If you ever get a chance to watch, I saw a fabulous movie of the life of Frida, starring Selma Hayek as Frida, and it was a fantastic accounting of Frida's life with a parade of stars. The biographical movie was made in 2002 and was simply called Frida, although Frida was far from simple. You can check out more about the movie specs below:

Flood Re response to the consultation on the Flood Reinsurance Scheme Regulations
Flood Re Limited has published its response to the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs consultation on the Flood Reinsurance Scheme Regulations.
It is envisaged that Flood Re Limited will be the body designated in legislation as the Flood Re Scheme Administrator. The consultation discusses the proposed statutory framework within which directors of Flood Re would need to operate the company as a reinsurance facility for homes in high flood risk areas.
This response acknowledges the good work undertaken to date by both industry and Government in partnership towards implementing the scheme, which is a world-first. However, it also highlights a number of key areas within the draft regulations consulted on which will need to be altered for the scheme to be workable.
Flood Re directors continue to work constructively with Government to find solutions ahead of designation of the scheme next year.
The response, in particular, notes concerns with, and potential solutions for, the following:
The current statutory requirement not to impact public sector net borrowing ("PSNB") by more than £100m at the end of the financial year. This means, in broad terms, that Flood Re directors will be under a legal obligation not to make a loss on Flood Re's Profit and Loss account (P&L) of more than £100m if classified as a public body by the Office of National Statistics ("ONS"). Given (re)insurers' P&Ls are inevitably volatile due to the nature of the risks taken on, this is not something the directors of Flood Re can commit to since such losses are often outside the control of directors and outwards reinsurance would not be a guaranteed safeguard;
A wide-ranging power in legislation to call additional amounts from relevant insurers as levy (tax), rather than capital contributions, from time-to-time, which would have no prospect of repayment and could potentially result in volatility for insurers' profitability and impact wider household premiums (contrary to the agreement reached in the MoU and policy intent);
The failure to make explicit in the regulations that capital contributions provided by relevant insurers to recapitalise Flood Re at any future time can be repaid by Flood Re at the discretion of directors (subject to PRA approval), which again will potentially result in volatility for insurers' profitability and impact wider household premiums;
Restrictions on Flood Re's ability to borrow, which will prevent it from operating as efficiently and effectively as it could otherwise.
The response also calls for the inclusion of Band H properties, which would simplify the operation of the scheme.

; 1661–1741) – writer [vol. 26, p. 346]
The horizontal line represents the person's life.1661 - born1741 - died
Rollin, Charles
, a French writer of very great abilities, was the second son of a master-cutler at Paris and born there Jan. 30, 1661. He was intended, as well as his elder brother, for his father's profession; when a Benedictine, perceiving in him a peculiar turn for letters, communicated this to his mother, and pressed her to give him a liberal education. The proposal was flattering, but as she had been left a widow, and had nothing to depend upon but the continuation of her late husband's business, and was incapable of providing for his education, she was reluctant to lose the advantages of her son's skill. The good | Benedictine, however, removed part of her fears, by procuring the youth a pension in the college of Du Plessis, and Roliin was now suffered to pursue the natural bent of his inclination. He distinguished himself immediately by parts and application, and easily obtained the first rank among his felloe-students. Many stories are told to his advantage in this respect, and how he became known and esteemed by the minister Pelletier, whose two eldest sons were of Rollin's class. He studied rhetoric in the college of Du Plessis under Mr. Hersan, whose custom it was to create emulation among his scholars, by bestowing on them epithets, each according to his merit; and is said to have declared in public, that he knew not sufficiently to distinguish the young Roliin otherwise than by giving hirn. the title of "Divine:" and when Hersan was asked for any piece in verse or prose, he used to refer them to Roliin, "who,'' he said," would do it better than he could."Hersan intended Roliin for his successor, therefore first took him as an assistant in 1683, and afterwards, in. 1687, gave up the chair to him. The year after, Hersan, with the king's leave and approbation, declined the professorship of eloquence in the royal college in favour of his beloved disciple Roliin, who was admitted into it. No man ever exercised the functions of it with greater eclat: he often made Latin orations, to celebrate the memorable events of the times; and frequently accompanied them with poems, which wer^ generally read and esteemed. In 1694, he was chosen rector of the university, and continued in that office two years, which was then a great mark of distinction. By virtue of his office, he spoke the annual panegyric upon Louis XIV. He made many useful regulations in the university, and particularly revived the study of the Greek language, which was then growing into neglect. He was a man of indefatigable attention, and trained innumerable persons, who did honour to the church, the state, and the army. The first president Portail was pleased one day to reproach Roilin in a jocular strain, as if he exceeded even himself in doing business: to whom Roilin replied, with that plainness and sincerity which was natural to him," It becomes you well, Sir, to reproach me with this: it is this habit of labour in me, which has distinguished you in the place of advocate general, which has raised you to that of first president: you owe the greatness of your fortune to me," | Upon the expiration of the rectorship, cardinal Noailles engaged him to superintend the studies of his nephews, who were in the college of Laon; and in this office he was agreeably employed, when, in 1699, he was with great reluctance made coadjutor to the principal of the college of Beauvais. This college was then a kind of a desert, inhabited by very few students, and without any manner of discipline: but Rollings great reputation and industry soon made it a most flourishing society. In this situation he remained till 1712; when, the contests between the Jesuits and the Jansenists drawing towards a crisis, he fell a sacrifice to the prevalence of the former. F. Le Tellier, the king's confessor, and bigoted agent of the Jesuits, infused into his master prejudices against Rollin, whose connections with cardinal de Noailles would alone have sufficed to have made him a Jansenist; and on this account he lost his share in the principality of Beauvais. No man, however, could have lost less in this than Rollin, who had every thing left him that was necessary to make him happy; retirement, books, and a decent competence. He now began to employ himself upon Quintilian; an author he justly valued, and not without uneasiness saw neglected. He retrenched in him whatever he thought rather curious than useful for the instruction of youth: he placed summaries or contents at the head of each chapter; and he accompanied the text with short select notes. His edition appeared in 1715, in 2 vols. 12mo, with an elegant preface, setting forth his method and views.
In 1720, the university of Paris, willing to have a head suitable to the importance of their interests in the then critical conjuncture of affairs, chose Rollin again rector: but he was displaced in about two months by a lettrede cachet. The university had presented to the parliament a petition, in which it had protested against taking any part in the adjustment of the late disputes; and their being congratulated in a public oration by Rollin on this step occasioned the letter, which ordered them to chuse a rector of more moderation. Whatever the university might suffer by the removal of Rollin, the public was probably a gainer; for he now applied himself to compose his excellent treatise <4 Upon the manner of studying and teaching the Belles Lettres:"" De la maniere d'etudier et d'enseigner les Belles Lettres." This work was published 1726, in two volumes, and two more in 1728, 8vo, and a copy of it | presented to bishop Atterbury, then in banishment, who wrote to Rollin a Latin letter, of great beauty and elegance, which gives a just idea of our author and his writings. Whatever defects more recent inquiries have discovered in this work, it was for many years the first of its kind, and may yet be recommended as laying the foundation of a good taste.
Encouraged by the great success of this work, and the happy reception it met with, he undertook another of equal use and entertainment; his "Histoire Ancienne," &c. or "Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians and Greeks," which he finished in 13 vols. 8vo, and published between 1730 and 1738. Voltaire, after having observed that Rollin was "the first member of the university of Paris who wrote French with dignity and correctness," says of this work, that "though the last volumes, which were written in too great a hurry, are not equal to the first, it is nevertheless the best compilation that has yet appeared in any language; because it is seldom that compilers are eloquent, and Rollin was remarkably so." While the last volumes of his "Ancient History" were printing, he published the first of his "Roman History;" which he lived to carry on, through the eighth and into part of the ninth, to the war against the Cimbri, about seventy years before the battle of Actium. Crevier, the worthy disciple of Rollin, continued the history to the battle of Actium, which closes the tenth volume; and has since completed the original plan of Rollin, in 16 vols. 12mo, which was to bring it down from the foundation of the city to the reign of Constantine the Great. All these works of Rollin have met with universal approbation, been translated into several languages, and in English have long been popular, although strict criticism may find much to object, as to inaccuracies, and want of purity of style. What, however, forms an honourable distinction in all his works, is his regard for the interests of religion and virtue.
This excellent person died Sept. 14, 1741. He had been named by the king a member of the academy of inscriptions and belles lettres in 1701: but, as he had not then brought the college of Beauvais into repute, and found he had more business upon his hands than was consistent with a decent attendance upon the functions of an academician, he begged the privileges of a veteran, which were | honourably granted him. Yet he maintained his connexions with the academy, attended their assemblies as often as he could, laid the plan of his "Ancient History" before them, and demanded an academician for his censor. He was a man of many excellent qualities, very ingenious, consummate in polite learning, of rigid morals, and great piety; which last has given some of his countrymen, and their imitators here, an opportunity to remark that he wanted nothing but a mixture of the philosophic in his nature to make him a very complete person. When he was discharged from the rectorship in 1720, the words of the lettre de cachet were, as we have seen, that the university should choose a rector of more moderation: but that was hardly possible; for, nothing could be more benign, more pacific, or more moderate, than Rollings temper. He shewed, it must be owned, some zeal for the cause of Jansenism: he had a very great veneration for the memory of abbe Paris, and had been seen with others to visit his tomb in the church-yard of St. Medard, at Paris, and to pay his devotions to him as a saint: he revised and retouched the life of this abbe, which was printed in 1730: he translated into Latin, at the request of father Quesnel, the protestation of this saint, and was assisting in other works designed to support Jansenism; and, oh these accounts, he became obnoxious to the Jesuits and the court. It is related, that, when he was one day introduced to cardinal Fleury, in order to present him with a volume of his "Roman History," the minister, very uncivilly, said to a head-officer of the guards, "Sir, you should endeavour to convert this man:" to whom Rollin very well, and yet not disrespectfully, replied, "Oh, my lord, the gentleman would lose his time; I am an unconvertible man." Rollin was, however, a very estimable character. We find in his works generous and exalted sentiments, a zeal for the good of society, a love of virtue, a veneration for Providence, and in short every thing, though on profane subjects, sanctified with a spirit truly religious. So says even Voltaire, and we may add the similar testimony of the poet Rousseau, who conceived such a veneration for Rollin that he came out of banishment incognito to Paris, on purpose to visit and pay his respects to him. He looked upon his histories, not only as the best models of the historic kind, but as a complete system of politics ana 1 morals, and a most | instrucfive school for princes as well as subjects to learn all their duties in. 1

In recent years, various aspects of sustainability have gained more attention in industrialized Western countries that are still dominated by the effects of a throwaway society. People are starting to exchange, for example, clothes or books via respective shops or online portals; others are engaged in dumpster diving (skip/tip foraging) or setting up restaurants offering a cuisine solely based on leftovers. However, there is also a critical discourse about those methods of recycling and repurposing that disregard certain regions of the world that are not able to invest in those rather sophisticated projects, as they simply depend on what has been thrown away by others, living on the leftovers of a still, and even more so, consumer society.
In the arts, on the other hand, practices of reconstructing, re-performing or (self-) archiving have been challenging the realm of the performing arts that otherwise operate under the primacy of presence. What was once assembled as something that created presence—and thus even a critical event—is now subject to preservation performances that attempt to record (for example, 'storage' performances such as re-enactments). It is a turn from performance's presence to preservation that also touches on aspects of artistic marketing. Moreover, the focus tends to shift to leftovers, for example, as relics being on display in museums or galleries when it comes to exhibitions dealing with performing arts (as, for instance, the nails of Chris Burden's seminal performance Trans-Fixed being meticulously displayed in the curation of an exhibition). Another aspect of leftovers rivets on artists working with detritus, tying their findings into other dis/functional and aesthetic contexts.
From the perspective of artistic practice, sometimes the creation of a production/performance generates an excess of material, giving life/substance to other work in unplanned and serendipitous ways. Sometimes, material resists capture in a performance or refuses to sit purposely within a scenario; leftover, through dramaturgical selection, often this material gives life to subsequent projects.
In the domestic kitchen, again, creativity flourishes with the use of leftovers; entire cannons of distinctive (national) dishes exist, often surpassing the flavour and nourishment of the 'original' meal. So, too, in performance, the creation of new work from the leftovers of previous endeavour, or the restaging (reconstitution) of earlier work, can produce efficacious and fulfilling productions.
Hence, this issue asks about the consequences and specific modalities of leftovers in the performing and visual arts as well as in broader cultural and social contexts: What is the status of leftovers when, for example, being on display or being distributed otherwise after a performance? To what extent do they 'help' or rather 'betray' the attempts to write performing art's history? What kind of impact does the integration of debris as art's material have on the conception and reception of the artwork as such? And in what ways does a certain performative quality apply when it comes to the arrangement of leftovers other than working with 'unused' and 'fresh' material? What about the politicality of integrating leftovers into 'newly' done work? And how does the value of leftovers change when reintegrated into the consumer's society? Those reflections also imply more general questions about the cultural status and value of leftovers in the social and political realm.
theoretical frameworks, such as new materialism.
