Wearing matching dresses before the world was big.
It's a memory of friendship, of safety, of a feeling of confidence, but it's brief. The big change starts weighing again, her mind becomes like a firetruck screaming down the street. She has time for a quick shout-out to her Mom and Dad, part of what she's leaving behind, then tries to return to her calming memory. This time the vocals, flypaper tight until now, unpeel from each other and sing the lines independently, over each other: a perfect aural conjuring of inevitable separation.
Ten years from now, with another life transition in front of her, a marriage or move or money crisis or baby, she'll no doubt remember this moment leaving for college as the time before the world was big. And ten years from then at 40 as death and divorce start figuring out her address perhaps she'll take refuge in a memory of sitting on the couch in the middle of night nursing her newborn, a moment of safety and confidence before the world was big.
All of which to say, does the world ever get small? No, and mystical Van Morrison types would tell us it shouldn't, and we should hold tight to our sense of wonder. What's the difference between a sense of wonder and a constant feeling that there's always going to be bigger and bigger stuff you don't understand and can't rise above, a constant fear of something worse coming down the line? It can be frustrating, this suspicion you get the hang of it only in the past tense.
Ah, maybe I'm just in a bad mood. Cute song, anyway. The video is cute, too, two young girls cavorting in Coney Island in sepia tones. They do seem utterly, completely happy.

We're currently talking with trade unionists in Hong Kong and Taiwan about launching a major online campaign to protest conditions at Foxconn, where the Apple iPad is being manufactured. The suicides at this Taiwanese-owned factory are making top global news now, but efforts so far to organize a big online response have not been great. I hope we have something up this weekend.

Фонд свободы информации — российская негосударственная некоммерческая организация, специализировавшаяся на доступе к социально значимой информации. Фонд действовал с 2004 года, занимался изучением, анализом и реализацией конституционного права граждан и организаций на доступ к информации. Особое внимание уделялось прозрачности государственных органов власти и органов местного самоуправления. Ранее назывался Институтом развития свободы информации (ИРСИ). В 2015 году был признан «иностранным агентом» и приостановил деятельность, часть сотрудников создала неформальную Команду 29.

Цели организации
 развитие официальных сайтов органов власти;
 обеспечение доступа к государственной информации;
 способствовать тому, чтобы российское законодательство о доступе к информации было не формальным, а действующим.

Направления деятельности

Исследовательское
Эксперты Фонда проводят ежегодный мониторинг официальных сайтов Федеральных органов исполнительной власти, высших исполнительных органов власти субъектов РФ, арбитражных судов и судов общей юрисдикции. В дополнение к постоянным объектам мониторинга исследуются сайты правоохранительных органов, следственных управлений, Прокуратуры, Государственной Думы, Совета Федерации и пр. российских органов власти.

В ходе мониторинга изучается содержание каждого официального сайта в соответствии с требованиями Федерального закона от 09.02.2009 N8-ФЗ «Об обеспечении доступа к информации о деятельности государственных органов и органов местного самоуправления». Эксперты проверяют наличие, достоверность, полноту и актуальность информации на сайте, а также причины, по которым органы власти отказываются размещать те или иные сведения. По итогам аудита формируется рейтинг информационной открытости, который публикуется в открытом доступе. В рамках проекта у каждого органа власти есть возможность получить экспертные рекомендации по совершенствованию работы сайта и существенно улучшить свой результат. Поддержка оказывается на безвозмездной основе.

Цель проекта — создание основанной на законе практики размещения органами государственной власти максимально полной и достоверной информации о своей деятельности на официальных сайтах.

Просветительское
Информационный ресурс «Имеем право знать» с пошаговыми инструкциями, историями из практики и консультациями юристов по вопросам свободы информации в Российской Федерации.

Сайт «Открытое ЖКХ», на котором содержатся практические советы по реализации права граждан на получение информации в сфере жилищно-коммунального хозяйства.

Юридическое
Фонд оказывает юридическую поддержку в области обеспечения права на доступ к информации. Юристы организации проводят консультации, направляют запросы в органы власти и инициируют судебные процессы в целях обеспечения доступа граждан к социально-значимой информации.

Судебная тяжба с Ростехрегулированием
Судебная тяжба с Ростехрегулированием (бывший Госстандарт) в Красногвардейском районном суде Санкт-Петербурга, закончившаяся судебным предписанием агентству обеспечить открытый и бесплатный доступ к национальным стандартам и классификаторам Российской Федерации в соответствии с Постановлением Правительства РФ «Об опубликовании национальных стандартов и общероссийских классификаторов технико-экономической и социальной информации» от 25 сентября 2003 г. № 594.

Организация занималась проведением социальной кампании «Доступные ГОСТы». Национальные стандарты должны находиться в свободном открытом доступе. Представители же Росстандарта продолжают организованную торговлю текстами национальных стандартов через аффилированные структуры. Задача Института и активных граждан в рамках социальной кампании — добиться размещения актуального и полного перечня стандартов на официальном сайте Росстандарта. Впрочем, пока отказываться от бизнеса Росстандарт не собирается.

Оспаривание Постановления Правительства РФ, регулирующего режим служебной тайны
В 2008 году Институт продолжил работу по оспариванию Постановления Правительства РФ от 3 ноября 1994 года № 1233 «Об утверждении Положения о порядке обращения со служебной информацией ограниченного распространения в федеральных органах исполнительной власти, уполномоченном органе управления использованием атомной энергии и уполномоченном органе по космической деятельности», регулирующего режим служебной тайны в России (Постановление о служебной тайне).

Напомним, что в 2005 году юристы Института сумели добиться официальной публикации данного Постановления Правительства РФ. До 2005 года этот правительственный акт скрывался от общественности под грифом «для служебного пользования».

Официальное опубликование нормативного правового акта, регулирующего режим служебной тайны, открыло путь для его оспаривания в Верховном Суде РФ.

Однако в 2005 и 2007 годах Верховный Суд РФ отклонил иски И. Ю. Павлова, активиста Института, несмотря на все правовые аргументы, содержавшиеся в них. В 2006 году Институт подал жалобу в Конституционный Суд Российской Федерации, поставив вопрос о неконституционности пунктов, связанных с ограничениями в распространении информации, оспариваемого Постановления о служебной тайне. Однако в июле 2006 года Конституционный Суд отказал в принятии жалобы. В феврале 2008 года также подавалась жалоба в Конституционный Суд, в которой был поставлен вопрос о неконституционности пункта оспариваемого Постановления и пункта Федерального закона от 27.07.2006 N 149-ФЗ «Об информации, информационных технологиях и о защите информации». В апреле 2008 года Конституционный Суд отказал также в принятии этой жалобы.

Тем самым оказались исчерпаны все имеющиеся на тот момент времени возможности применения российских правовых норм для оспаривания Постановления о служебной тайне.

С вступлением в силу c 1 января 2010 года Федерального закона от 09.02.2009 N 8-ФЗ «Об обеспечении доступа к информации о деятельности государственных органов и органов местного самоуправления» появилась новая надежда на положительные перемены в сложившейся ситуации.

6 сентября 2010 года Верховный Суд РФ отклонил иск фонда о признании недействующими пунктов, связанных с ограничением получения информации, оспариваемого Постановления о служебной тайне.

Дела по оспариванию незаконных отказов в предоставлении информации

Членство в ЖСК
Отдельное направление в тактической практике Института — защита права членов ЖСК на доступ к информации, находящейся в распоряжении правлений кооперативов. С 2008 года Институт ведет несколько судебных дел петербуржцев, столкнувшихся с проблемами доступа к отчетной и финансовой информации жилищно-строительных кооперативов, членами которых они являются.

Право журналистов на доступ к информации
В августе 2008 года в Институт обратилось ООО «Региональные независимые газеты Северо — Запад» (учредитель газеты «Мой район» в Москве) за помощью в организации защиты права средства массовой информации на получение информации по запросу редакции. В мае 2008 года редакция газеты «Мой район» обратилась с запросами к начальнику Управления внутренних дел по Северо-Западному административному округу города Москвы с просьбой предоставить информацию о разбойных нападениях, произошедших на территории Северо-Западного административного округа г. Москвы.

На свой запрос редакция получила отказ: по мнению Управления внутренних дел, запрошенные сведения затрагивают «неприкосновенность частной жизни, личную и семейную тайну, честь и доброе имя» граждан.

28 августа 2008 года юристы Института подали в Арбитражный суд города Москвы заявление о признании незаконным решения органа государственной власти об отказе в предоставлении информации по запросу редакции СМИ, что препятствует подготовке материала для публикации, интересного для граждан. 25 ноября 2008 года Арбитражный суд города Москвы прекратил рассмотрение дела, посчитав, что заявление подано с нарушением подсудности.

Пешеходные переходы
В 2007 году в петербургской прессе появилось заявление председателя городского Комитета по благоустройству и дорожному хозяйству: утверждалось, что строительство одного подземного пешеходного перехода обходится городскому бюджету в 550 миллионов рублей.

Группа жителей города обратилась в Комитет с запросом, требуя предоставить для ознакомления полные сметы на строительство и содержание подземных пешеходных переходов. Комитет отказал в предоставлении запрашиваемой информации на том основании, что «данная информация не затрагивает права и свободы» заявителей. Граждане обратились к юристам Института за защитой своих прав на доступ к информации: по закону сведения о расходовании бюджетных средств являются общедоступными.

1 сентября 2008 года был подан иск в Приморский районный суд Санкт-Петербурга о признании незаконным решения Комитета по благоустройству и дорожному хозяйству Правительства Санкт-Петербурга об отказе в предоставлении информации. Однако суд стал на сторону чиновников: 25 декабря в удовлетворении жалобы было отказано. В начале 2009 года в Санкт-Петербургский городской суд была подана кассационная жалоба, подготовленная юристами Института.

Статус «иностранного агента»
В 2014 году за иностранное финансирование и участие в политической деятельности фонду в судебном порядке был присвоен статус «иностранного агента». Последующие попытки опротестовать это решение в суде не привели к успеху, и статус «иностранного агента» остался.

В феврале 2015 года Фонд приостановил свою деятельность. Часть сотрудников организации объединились в неформальную Команду 29 и продолжают развивать юридические и просветительские проекты Фонда.

We are currently witnessing a tidal change in global politics. The far right, which seemed to be on the retreat for decades, has staged a huge comeback. From Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines to Narendra Modi in India, from Jarosław Kaczyński in Poland to Viktor Orbán in Hungary, from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey to Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, from Michel Temer in Brazil to Donald Trump in the United States, far-right politicians have risen to the highest ranks of world power. From these newly acquired positions of strength, they have initiated deeply disturbing authoritarian transformations of their respective countries.


Matt is originally from Canada, and graduated from Queen's University in 2002. He lived in Hawaii from 2002 to 2011, and relocated with his family to the Pacific Northwest in late summer 2011. Matt received his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in the summer of 2017.
His areas of clinical interest are pre and post-operative rehabilitation, aquatic rehabilitation, and return to play testing. He has a passion for working with runners, jumpers, and overhead athletes to improve their performance and keep them competing by addressing biomechanical inefficiencies and dysfunctions. Matt has more than 15 years of experience working with active people across the lifespan, and athletes from grade school to professional level.
In addition to working with patients as a physical therapist, Matt has worked as a consultant for Endless Pools and Intel. He co-developed and taught a continuing education course on ACL rehabilitation for physical therapists and athletic trainers. He has also spoken at local, national, and international conferences and symposiums.
Being involved in sports growing up made a lasting impression on the importance of being active and giving back to the community. Matt is involved with volunteer coaching for soccer and track and field. He is also an emergency medical responder (EMR) and has provided medical venue coverage for several local United States of America Track and Field (USATF) Youth events.
Originally from the East Coast, Matt Whitaker received his professional training at Loma Linda University graduating in 1998 and has lived in Utah and California prior to moving to the Northwest in 2016.
His original work focused on neurologic rehabilitation with an emphasis on vestibular and balance dysfunctions. Over the past 10 years his area of care has concentrated on orthopedic conditions with postsurgical and spine dysfunctions areas of particular interest in addition to bike fitting and the young athlete.
Outside of treating patients, Matt has taught physical therapy students both in the classroom and clinically, has lectured to medical students, provided post-graduate continual educational training to physical therapists, directed therapy programs for hospitals and owned a private practice clinic.
Matt understands the needs of both an athlete and those that want to stay active and their desire at any age to return to what they love doing after injury. Having completed multiple Ironman triathlons and marathons he understands the drive and motivations of his patients to optimize their ability.

She has always enjoyed an active lifestyle with a love of running, hiking and backpacking, kayaking, volleyball, yoga, and weight-lifting – all different aspects of movement that have helped diversify and shape her treatment approach. She has spent the past five years working in an orthopedic and sports setting; she has treated a very diverse population and variety of conditions, with a special interest in runners, headache treatments, post-operative care, and adolescent athletes.

Big Ten Network Announces Penn State Fall Sports Lineup
By FTG1855 Jul 10, 2010, 3:37pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Big Ten Network Announces Penn State Fall Sports Lineup
The Big Ten Network has announced its fall sports television schedule, and Penn State athletics will be featured prominently.
The football team will appear on the Network at least twice, the first being the Nittany Lions' home opening contest with Youngstown State on September 4, and at least one conference game later in the season.
Here's the breakdown for the rest of the athletic department.
Complete Penn State Olympic Sports Big Ten Network Schedule
Sept. 26, vs. Michigan, 1 p.m.
Nov. 5, Big Ten Semifinals, TBA
Nov. 7, Big Ten Championship, TBA
Sept. 26, at Wisconsin, 2 p.m. (Air: 7 p.m.)
Oct. 2, vs. Michigan, 6 p.m.
Oct. 20, at Ohio State, 7 p.m.
Nov. 13, vs. Illinois, TBA
Nov. 27, at Minnesota, TBA
Wild Card Match, TBA
Oct. 3, at Ohio State, 3 p.m.
Oct. 17, vs. Wisconsin, 1 p.m. (Air: 4:30 p.m.)
Nov. 7, vs. Michigan, 1 p.m.
Oct. 3, at Michigan, 1 p.m. (Air: 7 p.m.)

Nov. 12, Big Ten Semifinals, TBA
Nov. 14, Big Ten Championship, TBA
Men's & Women's Cross Country
Oct. 31, Big Ten Championships, TBA
The women's volleyball slate should be especially exciting for Penn State fans as Darcy Dorton, Blair Brown and Co. seek the program's fourth consecutive national championship and all-time NCAA win streak record without departed stars Alisha Glass and ESPY-nominated Megan Hodge.
Women's soccer should also be quality viewing as that team seeks to continue its Braves-esque streak of dominance in the Big Ten.

The Artist's Studio: E.W. Nay
The Life and Work of the German Painter
Michael Blackwood Productions
A visit to the studio of Ernst Wilhelm Nay, a remarkable, if somewhat solitary German artist, who had established his own position at age 30 among the many 'isms' of the time, just before the advent of the Nazi takeover. Soon his art was labeled "decadent" by the Hitler regime. His paintings were removed from museum collections, he could no longer show new work in galleries, or even purchase art supplies.
Soon after the end of WWII, Nay returned to painting much inspired by his need 'to catch up'. Once his work could be followed again year by year after 1946, he rose to become one of Germany's leading painters. Somehow though the importance and range of his work has not fully entered the contemporary consciousness of the art world. This may partly be due to the fact that Nay belonged to that persecuted generation of German artists who, just as their work began to blossom, were forced by Hitler's art dictatorship to go underground. There they had to continue, under the harshest circumstances and in complete isolation, what they had begun earlier.
Ernst Wilhelm Nay died in 1968 at the age of 65. His studio, still intact, offers a retrospective of his work beginning with the 1920s.

Q: Letting users to access to their own folder - multi site in asp.net Looking to address multi sites on one physical path.
Some of sites has Https and some of them hasn't, so with current code I able to force them to https or not.
On case there is "images" folder, how could I access them, just to own folder. For example there is DomainId for each site and images goes to save like: /images/DomainId/
So on case DomainId=3 , I should let users to access only on /images/3/ physical path.
How about providing .config file on each folder, and accessing specific domain to that folder.
public class SiteInfo

The METS tool can be freely downloaded and used. It best serves those working on digital projects or working with multiple metadata formats. The METS tool runs as a simple windows application and allows the creation of METS from a folder of items. It additionally allows the user to enter all of the bibliographic information, and assign page names and divisions to the structure map. The METS tool was designed to support the metadata needs of libraries, archives, and museums. Because of this key focus on interoperability, the METS tool already supports METS/MODS, MARC, Dublin Core, and EAD metadata formats. The METS tool also allows users to create metadata in all of these formats by importing a spreadsheet with labeled columns for the different metadata elements. The METS tool was created by the University of Florida to meet the State University Libraries' complex needs for working with multiple types of metadata standards. The tool has evolved and is now used by libraries, archives, museums, and other institutions.
SobekCM METS Editor Application Guide for Version 1. 0. 1 Guide created by Mark Sullivan and Laurie Taylor, 2010 2011.
Page 3 of 57 I N T R O D U C T I O N A BOUT THE METS E DITOR This application is used to view and edit METS files for digital resources which will ultimately appear under the UFDC technology. This allows users to edit nearly all of the possible data fields for an item, and update data for an existing item. When this application is installed, the extension .mets is associated with this application. Once installed, you can open or edit METS files using this application by clicking on the file in the windows directory. There ar e several default templates installed with the application. Each template can present a very different look. A template dictates which elements to show and, in the case where there are several different formats available, which format to use. The template also determines how the exposed elements are grouped. Finally, templates can also set defaults and possible values.
Page 4 of 57 D OWNLOADS D OWNLOADS AND O PTIONS V ERSION 1.0.1 A UGUST 24, 2011 This tool is free standing and allows the creation of METS from a folder of items. It additionally allows the user to enter all of the bibliographic information, and assign page names and divisions to the structure map. This windows application can be downloaded in the following formats: Install File (MSI) installs this application on your machine. Source code is available on the sourceforge project page I NSTALLATION R EQUIREMENTS AND P ERMISSIONS The download will be a MSI windows installer file. Run this application to install the METS Editor application on your local computer. This windows application will run on any machine running a Microsoft operatin g system from Windows XP up to Windows 7 or Server 2008. This application requires that .NET framework version 3.5 is also installed on the machine. This can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center if it is missing on your machine. It is recommended that after installation you navigate to the application's folder ( by default this is C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SobekCM or C: \ Prog ram Files \ SobekCM ). Selecting the main application folder ( SobekCM METS Editor ), use the right button on the mouse to pull up the context menu and then select Properties. On the properties menu, select Security. Then edit the security to give either you rself or everyone read/write access to the directory, subdirectories, and files. To use some features of the METS Editor, in particular the ability to create default project files, the editor will need access to write into the subfolder. Initialization wil l continue the first time you launch the application.
Page 5 of 57 C ONCEPTS AND P REPARATION D IRECTORY N AMING In preparation for creating your first digital resource package, you should have the files for your item in the same folder. The folder can be named in any fo rmat. The folder name is automatically added in the METS file as the object identifier (OBJID). F ILE N AMING AND F ILE T YPES Files which represent the same portion of the intellectual entity should be named with the same filename, although of course the exte nsion will be different. For example, images of the same page in different formats should share the same root filename, so 00001.jpg, 00001.tif, 00001.jp2, and 00001.jp2 should all be images of the same page. The following files types are considered page images: TIFF images ( *.tif, *.tiff ) JPEG images ( *.jpg, *.jpeg ) JPEG2000 images ( *.jp2 ) GIF images ( *.gif ) Text images OCR text ( *.txt ) PRO files Prime Recognition OCR files ( *.pro ) Page images will form their own structure map in the resu ltant METS which represents the structure of the actual item and for books and newspapers is analogous to a table of contents for the item. Any file which is not a page image is considered additional resource files and will be included in a second structur e map. These files can still be organized hierarchically and be placed into divisions. Where page is the bottom layer of the page image hierarchy into which page images are placed, additional resource files are organized into file groups. Again, all files with the same root name will be organized into the same file group. METS O BJECT ID AND B IB ID:VID This application was originally written in support of a SobekCM digital repository. Within SobekCM digital repositories, each resource is assigned two identifie rs: 1. BibID (or Bibliographic Identifier) This is essentially analogous to an identifier for the title, and can be parent to many individual volumes. As such, the BibID is usually directly related to the main bibliographic information regarding all the volu mes, such as for newspapers. This is not necessarily or always true, but is generally true in practice Bibliographic identifiers are 10 digital alpha numeric values which start with two letters and ends in four numbers. The digits between can be either l etters or numbers. 2. VID (or Volume Identifier) This identifies an individual volume within the bibliographic unit (or BibID). This is a five digit number, usually represented with leading zeros.
Page 6 of 5 7 Generally the complete SobekCM Object ID or System ID is the BibID and VID separated by an underscore or colon. The METS Editor allows you to define any ObjectID for your METS files (usually matching the folder name though). Some of the batch processes may require that this type of numbering scheme is implemented, but it should be quite elementary to change the ObjectID's assigned after the batch process is used. I will be continuing to work on removing any requirements imposed by the historical use of this application.
Page 10 of 57 Step 2: Selecting th e folder and initial files to include You will be prompted to select the folder for your new item: Figure 2: Browse For Folder Dialog The METS Application will automatically find any images and files in the folder, and ask if you would like them to be added to the METS file for the item. To add the images, click yes. You can avoid the dialog below and add all page images by default by selecting the Always add all page images when creating a new METS file? in the metadata preferences. ( Options Metadata Preferences Resource Files ) Or you can select the checkbox on this form to set the same setting. Figure 3: Existing Files Found Dialog If there are other files in the folder which may be included, but do not appear to be page images, you will receive a secondary prompt. This allows you to choose which files should be included in your new METS. If you wish to just add all the files in the folder, selecting ADD ALL will add them to the METS file and close this dialog box.
Page 17 of 57 Just entering the number itself into the field and hitting enter will add 'Page and the numb er as the page label. In addition, all subsequent pages will be named correspondingly as well. Figure 4: All Pages Renumbered You can also enter any other label for the page, such as 'Map 2' or 'Plate i', etc.. Figure 5: Naming the Page Entering any value that either ends in a roman numeral or a number will cause all subsequent pages to be named sequentially and use the same beginning portion of the page label. For example, the value entered above ( 'Map i' ) would cause each subsequent page to be numbered 'Map followed by the next roman numeral.
Page 20 of 57 The name field for the division is context sensitive. Thus, selecting divisions that can be named (Chapter, Section, Appendix etc.. ) allows you to type the name for that division. Figure 4: Editing the Division Name F or divisions that cannot be further named (Main, Title Page, Front Cover), the name segment will remain un editable. Figure 5: Uneditable Division Name I NSERT A NEW S IBLING P ARENT OR C HILD D IVISION By using the ability to add new parent, sibling, or child divisions, you can arrange the pages of your digital resource into a deeply hierarchical table of contents.
Page 22 of 57 Figure 7: Building a Hierarchical Structure Map R ESOURCE F ILES (D OWNLOADS ) S TRUCTU RE M AP Editing the second structure map (with the downloadable files) is analogous to editing the page image structure map.
Page 23 of 57 Figure 7: Working with the Resource Files Structure Map In the example above, you can see that the "page" is named, which names the collection of files of the same name. This allows multiple file types of the same object to be correctly tagged together. Instead of being called "pages" though, in this structure map they appear as a group of files. You can also organize these nodes hierarchically, although this is not currently utilized by the SobekCM digital repository.
Page 25 of 57 Next, select the format in which you would like to save the metadata: METS (th is allows you to save the METS in a different location or with a non standard name) MarcXML MODS Dublin Core If you opt to save the bibliographic information as Dublin Core you need to choose the Dublin Core format you wish to use: Dublin Core RDF Dublin Core Trial and error with the two different formats should quickly reveal the differences between them.
Page 26 of 57 B ATCH P ROCESSES S ELECTING A B ATCH P ROCESS Batch processes are processes which can create or alter a large number of metadata files simult aneously. From the application main menu, select the third link ( Batch METS file creation ) to view the batching main menu displayed below: Figure 1: SobekCM METS Editor Batching Menu The following batch processes are available from this menu: Batch processing from a spreadsheet or CSV file This option creates many METS files, using an Excel spreadsheet or comma seperated value (CSV) file as the source. Each row of the source file should contain information about a different digital resource and the first row of the worksheet or CSV file must be a header row with column labels. You will be able to manually map each column to the metadata file and add a limited number of constants as well. The result will be a directory with METS files for each row from your source file.
Page 27 of 57 Batch processing from a MARC21 data file This option will read a MARC21 Data File containing one or more records an d iterate through each record, creating METS file(s) containing all of the bibliographic information from the records. You will also be able to add a limited number of constants during this process. The result will be a directory with METS files for each r ecord within the MARC21 data file. Batch processing through a set of directories This option steps through any number of subfolders, looking for a metadata file of your specification. METS, MODS, and Dublin Core files are accepted. If the metadata file is not in METS format, a METS file will be created from the data within the MODS or Dublin Core file. In all cases, any resource files in the same folder will be added to the structure map within th e METS file. Batch processing from an OAI PMH feed By pointing the application at a set within an OAI PMH repository, METS files are created for each record within the feed. Again, you will also be abl e to add a limited number of constants during this process and the result will be a directory with METS files for each record within the feed.
Page 29 of 57 Select either an excel spreadsheet or a CSV file as the input file. Then, you will be prompted to select the worksheet within the workbook to import. If you selected a CSV file, there will only be one sheet (named 'Sheet 1') which you must select. Once you select the sheet, the column names will be read from the first row in the input file, and any automatic mappings will be applied. Figure 2: Spreadsheet Batch Proce ssor Column Mapping You will want to verify the mappings and correct any mappings which were incorrect. You may also enter up to eight constants from the second tab under step 3.
Page 30 of 57 Figure 3: Spreadsheet Batch Processor Constants If you do not have an y column mapped to Material Type, you will need to select a value from the drop down. If you do not have a column mapped to BibID, you will also need to enter a value for the first bibid to be used as the ObjectID in the resulting METS files. The value you enter must adhere to the SobekCM BibID rules. SobekCM Bibliographic Identifier (BibID) Rules The BibID is a ten digit alphanumeric identifier used for SobekCM libraries which begins with at least two characters and ends with at least four numbers. Whateve r you enter will be the beginning of the final BibID's, which also act as part of the ObjectID for the METS files. If you enter a string less than 10 characters long, this will be the prefix. For example, entering 'ca008' will cause the first BibID assigne d to be 'CA00800000', the second 'CA00800001', the third 'CA00800002', etc..
Page 31 of 57 Entering a full BibID, such as 'MANIOC0123' will break the item into two parts and compute each BibID from the provided BibID. For example, entering 'MANIOC0123' will cause the fi rst BibID assigned to be 'MANIOC0123', the second 'MANIOC0124', the third MANIOC0125', etc.. Press the EXECUTE button once you are ready to proceed. P ROCESS D ESCRIPTION Once the process is initiated, the processor will step through each row in your input f ile and perform the following steps: 1. Read the row of data from your input file 2. Input this data into a new METS object 3. Apply all the constants from the processor form 4. If no source institution code or source institution statement was included yet, the defaul ts from your metadata preferences are applied. 5. METS file is written to your destination folder Since most of your defaults are not included in the resulting metadata files, you will want to include these values in your input file. Once complete, some very simple information will be displayed in the results form, including the newly assigned Bibliographic Identifier (BibID) and Volume ID (VID) which combine to form the METS ObjectID's. Figure 4: Spreadsheet Batch Processor Results Form If your input fil e was an excel spreadsheet, a new worksheet named OUTPUT will be added to the workbook, which includes all the original fields as well as two new columns with the new BibID and VIDs.
Page 32 of 57 Figure 5: New Output Sheet in Excel File If your input file was a CS V file, another file will be written ending with '_output' that will contain these two new columns.
Page 33 of 57 B ATCH P ROCESSING FROM A MARC21 D ATA F ILE O VERVIEW Batch processing allows the data from a MARC21 export report file to create METS files. The processor wi ll step through each record within the report, and generate a METS file for each per your specifications in the metadata preferences section. P ROCESS I NSTRUCTIONS Selecting the second option ( Convert a MARC21 file to METS ) from the Batching Menu will lau nch the form: Figure 1: MARC21 Batch Processor Form Select the input MARC21 file to use.
Page 34 of 57 Next, you are given the opportunity to enter up to eight constants from the second tab under step 2. Finally, select the destination folder for all the resulting METS files. Figure 2: MARC21 Batch Processor Form #2 You will also need to enter a value for the first bibid to be used as the ObjectID in the resulting METS files. The value you enter must adhere to the SobekCM BibID rules. SobekCM Bibliographic Id entifier (BibID) Rules The BibID is a ten digit alphanumeric identifier used for SobekCM libraries which begins with at least two characters and ends with at least four numbers. Whatever you enter will be the beginning of the final BibID's, which also act as part of the ObjectID for the METS files. If you enter a string less than 10 characters long, this will be the prefix. For example, entering 'ca008' will cause the first BibID assigned to be 'CA00800000', the second 'CA00800001', the third 'CA00800002', etc.. Entering a full BibID, such as 'MANIOC0123' will break the item into two parts and compute each BibID from the provided BibID. For example, entering 'MANIOC0123' will cause the first BibID assigned to be 'MANIOC0123', the second 'MANIOC0124', the thi rd MANIOC0125', etc.. Press the EXECUTE button once you are ready to proceed.
Page 37 of 57 Figure 3: OAI PMH Import Form This form allows you to select the set for which you would like to create METS files. In addition, you can enter a number of constants, which will be applied to all the resulting METS files. Finally, you must c hoose the destination folder for all the METS files created. Defaults that you have set in the metadata preferences are NOT applied to the resulting METS files, as it is assumed these records are from external libraries. So, your decisions on bibliographic format and add ons is used, but no system wide defaults are applied. Any defaults to be applied must be entered on this form. To continue you will also need to enter a value for the First BibID constant to be used as the ObjectID in the resulting METS files. The value you enter must adhere to the SobekCM BibID rules. SobekCM Bibliographic Id entifier (BibID) Rules The BibID is a ten digit alphanumeric identifier used for SobekCM libraries which begins with at least two characters and ends with at least four numbers. Whatever you enter will be the beginning of the final BibID's, which also act as part of the ObjectID for the METS files.
Page 38 of 57 If you enter a string less than 10 characters long, this will be the prefix. For example, entering 'ca008' will cause the first BibID assigned to be 'CA00800000', the second 'CA00800001', the third 'CA00800002', etc.. Entering a full BibID, such as 'MANIOC0123' will break the item into two parts and compute each BibID from the provided BibID. For example, entering 'MANIOC0123' will cause the first BibID assigned to be 'MANIOC0123', the second 'MANIOC0124', the thi rd MANIOC0125', etc.. R EPOSITORY D ETAILS You can view the details of the r epository from the main menu ( View Repository Details ), from the main OAI PMH Import Form. Figure 4: OAI PMH Repository Details P ERFORMING B ATCH P ROCESS Once you have entered all the necessary data, select the EXECUTE button to begin this process A progress bar will display progress as the METS files are created in the destination folder you provided. You may see the progress bar reset several times; if the provider uses resumption tokens, it may have to pull records several times to get the full set of records. This happens automatically, but resets the progress bar each time.
Page 3 9 of 57 If you are preparing these METS files for inclusion in a SobekCM library, you can simply move all the created METS files into the bulk loader's drop box and they should all load within a couple minutes. I DENTIFIER M APPING To allow you to update records ingested through this method, a mapping is retained between the OAI Identifier for a digital resource and the resulting METS ObjectID. This mapping is retained as a XML file f or each repository pr o cessed. Depending on file permissions, the mapping file will either be under the application folder in an OAI subfolder, or in your My Documents folder. These mappings will automatically be found and you will be prompted to reuse them on subsequent runs of the process.
Page 40 of 57 B ATCH P ROCESSING THROUGH A SET OF D IRECTORIES O VERVIEW By selecting the third option ( Step through a series of directories ) from the Batching Menu, the SobekCM METS Editor can either create or update METS files throug h a deep folder structure. All resource files in the folders will be added to the METS file as well. This is a particularly useful way to take METS files generated from spreadsheets, csv files, or a marc21 data report and add related resource files in bulk P ROCESS I NSTRUCTIONS Selecting the third option ( Step through a series of directories ) from the Batching Menu will launch the form: Figure 1: Batch Import Directory Recursion Form This form allows you to select the parent directory to recurse thr ough. You must also select the type of metadata source file to read. This can either be a pre existing METS file, a MODS file, a MarcXML file, or a Dublin Core description file. After selecting the type, either enter or select the filter used to determine which file to read. This can be a wildcarded type entry, such as in the populated examples, such as '*.mets', '*.mets.xml', or '*_dc.xml'. If all your metadata files are named the same, you can also enter the full name, such as 'dc.xml'. If you select any source file other than METS, you will also need to chose how the METS ObjectID should be assigned. If you chose to have consecutive ObjectID's assigned in accordance to the SobekCM BibID pattern, the first BibID you enter must adhere to the following rules SobekCM Bibliographic Identifier (BibID) Rules The BibID is a ten digit alphanumeric identifier used for SobekCM libraries which begins with at least two characters and ends with at least four numbers. Whatever you enter will be the beginning of the fina l BibID's, which also act as part of the ObjectID for the METS files.
Page 45 of 57 P REFERENCES AND S ETTINGS O VERVIEW The settings determine many aspects of the application, from metadata template forms to the resulting metadata formats. You can also define many defaul t values which will be applied when you create a new METS file through the application. S COPE OF P REFERENCES All of the application and metadata preferences are user specific; if you have multiple users using the same application on the same machine, they can all have different defaults. The settings are stored in the user's Isolated Storage application settings location in XML format. S ETTING Y OUR P REFERENCES Your preferences are set in two ways: When you first launch the application, a series of preference forms appear to allow you to enter your preferences. You can always edit these settingds by launching the application and metada ta preferences form from the main menu. ( Options Metadata Preferences ) Figure 1: Launching the preferences forms These two methods are very analogous and often present a very similar looking interface, although the look and feel may vary slightly.

How to Play SD Cards on a TV
By Greyson Ferguson
View the contents of your SD card on a connected television.
SD memory cards are used by most digital cameras to store images and video. Although you may choose to upload the content onto a computer, it is possible to view the information on a television. The TV you wish to display the images and videos on must have one of two connections: a pre-installed SD memory card reader or a USB connection port.
Look over the television for an available SD card reader. An SD card reader is slightly larger than an inch wide and is usually offered on the front or side of the TV (if it has an SD card reader). If you are still not sure, check your TV's user manual.
Connect the SD card reader into the USB port, located on the rear of the television, if the TV has a USB port.
Insert the SD card into the SD card reader (either the USB connected or the built-in reader), then power on the television.
Press "Input" on the remote control and choose "USB" or "SD," if using a built-in SD card reader. The information from the SD card now appears on the screen.

Q: Android - String Probably a noob question but, after some search I could not find the answer.
I've receive this String like the following one: "Distribui\u00e7\u00e3o Alimentar", and I want to set it as text of a EditText. How can I "replace" the \u00e7 and \u00e3o to "ç" and "ã"?
Thanks in advance.

A: With the string replace function
String newString = stringName.replaceAll("\u007", "c');
String newString2 = stringName.replaceAll("\u00e7", "a");
and you could concatenate the two with the concat method

Q: numpy - tuple is not "(...)" in numpy? My understanding of tuple is it can be enclosed with parenthesis.

*

*class tuple([iterable])

Tuples may be constructed in a number of ways:
Using a pair of parentheses to denote the empty tuple: ()
Using a trailing comma for a singleton tuple: a, or (a,)
Separating items with commas: a, b, c or (a, b, c)
Using the tuple() built-in: tuple() or tuple(iterable)

Basic Slicing and Indexing says slice indexing is a tuple of slice objects and int.

Basic slicing occurs when obj is a slice object (constructed by
start:stop:step notation inside of brackets), an integer, or a tuple
of slice objects and integers.

However, (...) cannot be used causing an error. Is the error from numpy or Python?
I suppose without parenthesis, 0:1, 2:3, 1 is still a tuple but why cannot use parenthesis if it is specified as a tuple of slice objects and integers?
It is not so important but after struggling with numpy indexing, this makes it further confusing, hence a clarification would help.
Z = np.arange(36).reshape(3, 3, 4)
print("Z is \n{}\n".format(Z))

a = Z[
    (0:1, 2:3, 1)
]
---
  File "<ipython-input-53-26b1604433cd>", line 5
    (0:1, 2:3, 1)
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This works.
Z = np.arange(36).reshape(3, 3, 4)
print("Z is \n{}\n".format(Z))

a = Z[
    0:1, 2:3, 1
]
print(a)
print(a.base is not None)

As per the comment by hpaulj, numpy s_ internally takes "a list of slices and integers" and returns a tuple of slice objects.
from numpy import s_
print(s_[0:1, 2:3, 1])

Z = np.arange(36).reshape(3, 3, 4)
print("Z is \n{}\n".format(Z))

print(Z[s_[0:1, 2:3, 1]])
---
(slice(0, 1, None), slice(2, 3, None), 1)
Z is
[[[ 0  1  2  3]
  [ 4  5  6  7]
  [ 8  9 10 11]]

 [[12 13 14 15]
  [16 17 18 19]
  [20 21 22 23]]

 [[24 25 26 27]
  [28 29 30 31]
  [32 33 34 35]]]

[[9]]

A: Slice notation like 1:2 is syntax, it does not create an object, so you cannot use them in a list or tuple or anything; slice objects on the other hand actually refer to the thing returned by slice() which behave the same, and that's what Numpy is referencing with "tuple of slice objects and integers". The valid syntax to do what you were expecting would be Z[(slice(1, 2), slice(2, 3), 1)]. This allows you to save slices to a variable and use them instead.
Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate:
>>> 1:2
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: illegal target for annotation
>>> slice(1, 2)
slice(1, 2, None)
>>> [1, 2, 3][1:2]
[2]
>>> [1, 2, 3][slice(1, 2)]

Luigi Sturzo was born in Caltagirone on November 26 1871. In 1894 he was ordained a priest of the Catholic Church. He later moved to Rome, where in 1898 he graduated with a degree in philosophy from the Gregorian University.
Returning to Caltagirone, his religious and social commitment began to take shape alongside his teaching of philosophy. He founded a diocesan committee, opened committees of workers and of farmers, created a rural bank to combat usury, and began a newspaper, "The Cross of Constantine," to spread the ideas of Rerum Novarum.
On January 18, 1919 he pursued what appeared to be, in Italian politics, a project even more significant than the unification of Italy. With "An Appeal to Free and Strong Men," Sturzo launched the Popular Party.
The experience of Sturzo's popularism was an attempt to conceive a coherent social order guided by the teachings of the Social Doctrine of the Church, a political and economic order inspired by a Christian personalism that searches for answers to the concrete problems of human beings. The characteristic feature of Sturzo's appeal is the belief that—over the dirigiste, centralized, and monopolist processes of the State—a competitive system that takes account of the contingencies and limitations that characterize the physical and moral constitution of the person is much to be preferred. It envisioned a new order at the center of which, in tune with the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, is placed the spontaneous and creative work of civil society, an order able to increase the range of choices for individuals and associations.
In April 1923, during the National Congress of Turin of the Popular Party, Sturzo denounced Mussolini and fascism. Mussolini from that time identified him as the "main enemy of fascism." Mussolini would go on to speak with Cardinal Gasparri to force Don Sturzo first to resign from the party and then to abandon Italy. The exile of Sturzo would last 22 years. He lived in London until September 1940 and then in the United States until September 5, 1946, whereupon he returned to Italy. His most important works on political and sociological theory came to light during the period of his exile. While in London, he supported various Italian political groups that had escaped, and in 1936 he founded the "People and Freedom Group".
Resettled in Italy, Sturzo undertook his last battle, one for a constitution more inspired by freedom, at once secular but respectful of Christian inspiration in its basic components. Sturzo defended and promoted an articulation of social-economic matters that recognized the primacy of the person and the fundamental role of civil societies: the family and free-associative bodies, including political parties, trade unions, and the Church. He engaged in the promotion of freedom of education and educational choice, and in the defense of private property, savings, free enterprise, and the participation of the worker in corporate capital.
These activities led him to produce writings of great theoretical and political impact which butted against the so-called "three evil beasts of democracy". In the economic sphere, Sturzo's critique focused on the undue intrusiveness of the state and bureaucracy into a private initiative. Here, we find his concern with the first of the three "evil beasts" of democracy: "statism," which he alleged went against freedom.
In the political sphere, Sturzo complained of the established practice of "partisanship," the second of the three "evil beasts," which, for our author, went against the principle of equality. He used the Italian word "partitocrazia," which in English would be 'party-cracy'. By this term, Sturzo meant the irresponsible interference of political parties and trade unions in the functions of a legislature.
What we have said so far in regard to the economic and political fields, may be extended also to ethics and the right use of public money. In this context, as a result of particracy and statism, Sturzo sees the jaws of the third "evil beast": the "waste of public money" that would prevent the pursuit of justice. Particracy and statism, through the misuse of public money, strip the body politic of any sense of responsibility and empties human action of any ethical meaning. (Sturzo, 1998, 298-299)
In December 1952 Sturzo was appointed a senator for life by the President of the Republic, Luigi Einaudi. He died on August 8, 1959 in Rome. He left behind a legacy rich as much for his development of political theory as for his vision of political action understood as a high form of Christian charity: "Politics is a civic duty, an act of love of neighbor."
According to the opinion of Professors Russel Hittinger and Joseph Komonchak, and Sturzo influenced Fr. John Courtney Murray, one of the main drafters of the declaration Dignatatis Humanae of the Second Vatican Council.
Murray tells us that the pursuit of the common good is an activity inherent in society as a whole and all its institutions, according to the principles of subsidiarity and justice. In short, the concept of "common good" should be distinguished from that of "public order," as a result of the distinction between "society" and "state." As held by Hittinger (in his essay Introduction to Modern Catholicism, Columbia University Press, 2007), and Komonchak (in his essay Religious Freedom and the Confessional State. The Twentieth Century Debate, in "Revue d'Histoire Ecclésiastique", 95, (2000)), Murray, influenced in particular by Sturzo's work Church and State (already translated into English in 1939), shows why the "Church-State" dispute was irreducible to a monistic field. That is, it cannot be reduced to the subordination of society to a single, undifferentiated citizenship, lived under the state's authority and presence in every sphere.
A reading of Murray's and Sturzo's works brings out a subsidiary and polyarchycal socio-political paradigm, a paradigm irreconcilable with the statist or corporatist solution. By contrast, it postulates the non-hierarchical plurality of institutions and social powers, irreducible solely to the concept of government while open to that of governance—institutions created by men for other men, and, thus, contingent, historically determined, and independent.
Furthermore, Murray, in an exceptional convergence with Sturzo's position, comes to define the state as "an order within society: the order of public law and policy administration." Rather than viewing the state as a hierarchically higher entity, he insists that the task of civil authorities would be to perform some limited functions for the benefit of society. Ultimately, says Murray, "'society' means an area of freedom […], while 'state' means the area in which the civil authorities can legally exercise their coercive powers. To deny this distinction means accepting the concept of totalitarian government."
The lesson from intellectuals like Sturzo and Murray allows us to awaken, or to arouse further, interest in the relationship between religion and economic and political institutions, as well as to understand in an even deeper way Pope Francis' words, when, in his first encyclical Lumen fidei, he shows how the light of faith does not found the city of God on earth, but, rather, it offers a Christian perspective on the institutions that men will be able to build for themselves and for other people, in a ceaseless work of reform.
Why Can't a Feminist Be Pro-Life?
Feminism, News, Pro-Life News
When a pro-life feminist group was removed as a sponsor of the Women's March on Washington this past January, a national conversation began on whether an inclusive feminist movement can involve people with pro-life views. IHE hosted the panel discussion "Why Can't a Feminist Be Pro-Life?" on Monday, April 10.
