Joseph Smith's New York Reputation Reappraised
Richard L. Anderson
The biographer of Joseph Smith's early life will know his subject when he relies on sources that know their subject. This truism is more obvious in statement than application, for non-Mormon biography has not faced the severe limitations of the uniformly hostile affidavits taken by a sworn enemy of the Mormon Prophet. The image thus obtained is sharply discordant from the Joseph Smith documented in the 1830's: a leader of physical prowess and vigorous manhood, a profound idealist with spontaneous humor and warmth, who displayed personal courage under tremendous odds. A similar youth in the 1820's is discovered, not by editing out non-Mormon sources, but finding those non-Mormon sources that reflect definite contact with Joseph Smith. Such a study shows that collecting informed statements about the Prophet will produce a substantial favorable judgment.
Although initial collection of statements against Joseph Smith is an oft-told story, its outline is a necessary background for the affidavits to be analyzed. D. P. Hurlbut, excommunicated twice by LDS tribunals for immorality; became so personally vindictive that he was put under a court order restraining him from doing harm to the person or property of Joseph Smith. He was next "employed" by an anti-Mormon public committee to gather evidence to "completely divest Joseph Smith of all claims to the character of an honest man. . . ." To achieve this goal he traveled to New York and procured statements at Palmyra Village, the largest business center adjacent to the Smith farm and also at Manchester, the rural district that included "Stafford Street." Cornelius Stafford, then twenty, later remembered that Hurlbut arrived at "our school house and took statements about the bad character of the Mormon Smith family, and saw them swear to them."
The Painesville, Ohio, editor, E. D. Howe, replaced Hurlbut as a respectable author, and published the affidavits in Mormonism Unvailed (1834), laying the cornerstone of anti-Mormon historiography. Howe lived to see the solidity of the edifice, observing forty-four years afterward in his memoirs that the book "has been the basis of all the histories which have appeared from time to time since that period touching that people." More accurately, Howe's writing was insignificant, but the Palmyra-Manchester affidavits published by him have introduced Joseph Smith in every major non-Mormon study from 1834 to the present. Yet even supposedly definitive studies display no investigation of the individuals behind the Hurlbut statements, nor much insight into their community.

Gateway to Nature
PLANS for a new £2.3 million Wester Ross visitor centre at a major natural visitor attraction have been revealed.
Conservation charity the National Trust for Scotland says its plans for a world-class visitor facility at Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve will go ahead thanks to £923,277 funding from the Natural and Cultural Heritage Fund.
The project will pave the way for the charity, responsible for protecting Scotland's national and natural treasures, to build a new visitor centre and toilet facilities. It says it will improve parking at the beauty spot and expand the path network with improved wayfinding and interpretation.
The remaining funding for the project comes from the charity's own reserves.
The charity's general manager for the North West, Clea Warner, said: "Thanks to this fantastic funding, our charity can continue to invest in the Wester Ross area.These new facilities will be the gateway to the rich natural heritage of the gorge and the Falls of Measach, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the UK and will make a major contribution to the local area, vastly improving the welcome we can offer the increasing number of visitors who are heading north."
Corrieshalloch Gorge has seen a 60 per cent increase in visitor numbers since 2012, with almost 140,000 visitors in 2017/8.
Ms Warner added: "As a national nature reserve, Corrieshalloch Gorge requires intensive protection. These new facilities will help us to accommodate the growing number of visitors, while ensuring the site gets the important conservation care that a place of such importance needs."
Francesca Osowska, Scottish Natural Heritage's chief executive, added: "A key priority for SNH is to help ensure tourism and other sectors benefit from, and invest in, Scotland's high quality environment. Nature and culture are closely linked in the Highlands Islands, and in many places they are central to the local economy, maintaining rural populations, jobs and skills. This project will bring significant benefits to the local area for years to come, and give visitors even more to enjoy in these iconic areas of Scotland."
The Corrieshalloch Gorge Gateway to Nature project is part of a new £5 million Scottish programme of projects to invest in the Highlands and islands to provide more and better quality opportunities for visitors to enjoy natural and cultural heritage assets. The Natural and Cultural Heritage Fund is led by Scottish Natural Heritage and is part funded through the European Development Fund.
The Natural and Cultural Heritage Fund will encourage people to visit some of the more remote and rural areas and create and sustain jobs, businesses and services in local communities. The purpose of the fund is to promote and develop the outstanding natural and cultural heritage of the Highlands and islands in a way that conserves and protects them.

Brandon Green: This mini game is good!! Period.
Jonathan Gregorio: The mini game is visuallly stunning with tight controls and a reasonably well paced learning curve (for the first chapter, at least). It's bosses are well designed and distinct and are an absolute treat to war in challenge mode. Unfortunately, the mini game falls short on it's musical accompaniment as it seems like only a single track plays throughout each level.
Goh Xavier: This is a awesome mini game to slay the time,but I hope in the future some of the fighter's mode can be purchase by using AP.
Vincent Carl: I die a lot because I can't see my ship while moving because my thumbs are true large. But that is more my fault but still. Ah the sorrows of us large thumb people. I deleted the mini game because the mini game kept freezing, thinking I should reset with my ships and the make batter. Appears there is no link to acc option. Please add it. Another than that it is a brilliant mini game.
TheHolyMage: Good mini game with good visuals, melody, and difficulty. Can't wait to see more.
Yvan Dalumpines: It can hold you playing for hours on end, boasting a range of things to do and missions to complete. Controls smoothly and can be customised, a feature much apreciated. An overall awesome mini game to play on the go or in large sittings.
The Dead Cruiser: Quick, bright, and an good leveling system.
Lee Austria: Addictive mini game.
Easi belly: Out of so a lot of shooting mini games I played previously, this is by far the best. I love the endless mode and challenge mode where it try your precision and your reaction. Love it!
Sally Vee: Flawless mini game. $14.99 quality for gratis. No obtrusive advertisements; they're all optional. Developer who clearly cares.
Jack M: I never write reviews but I had to for this one. This is a good shoot em up that utilizes the touch screen perfectly. The amount of options for control is appreciated along with the progression and ability to level up with out having to pay for micro transactions. There are micro transaction but totally not intrusive. The mini game play is smooth and I search myself playing constantly hitting the replay button. The melody is quick paced and really gets u in the mood. What a good mini game.
Alex Ervin: Good mini game! All around well done!


As many organization leaders are aware, few (if any) IT projects materialize without running into problem issues. This is true for all types of projects. The larger and more complex the project plan, the more likely project managers will reach a point where their project schedule falls short of delivering what it initially set out to do.
At what point (and how) did the project go off track?
Does the project contain all essential project management documentation? If not, why?
What functionality is expected by the delivery date?
How flexible will stakeholders be to change scope, dates and budget?
Clarifying personnel assignments. Does the project manager need more/different personnel resources at this time?
Developing new project planning documents.
Before project managers can go forward they must obtain validation from the project stakeholders. In Step 2, the project managers notified their stakeholders that the project was failing and, presumably, obtained their approval to proceed in getting the project back on track. In this step project managers are obtaining stakeholder consent to press forward into plan execution. Without this critical step, project managers will lack the assurances that stakeholders are supportive of their actions and that the project is still viable.
The project manager now has a new project plan, re-evaluated risk assessments, a motivated team and perhaps new subject matter experts. The new project plan can now be set into action.
Punctually dealing with all risks identified in the risk assessment plan and any change orders or issues that occur.

Pituitary Gland Disorders
Course Overview: Pathology
by Carlo Raj, MD
This is where you learn all you need to know about pituitary gland disorders. How do you diagnose and treat SIADH? What causes the dysregulation of ADH?
Our expert Dr. Carlo Raj will answer these and many other questions while addressing the most important topics of pituitary gland disorders:
Control of growth hormone release and acromegaly
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) differential diagnoses
The presentation slides and related articles included in the learning material support the online course. Quiz questions give you the chance to test your knowledge and become aware of your learning progress.
Get started and become an expert in pituitary gland disorders.
Proteins are 1 of the 3 primary macronutrients in the body and are synthesized from individual building blocks called amino acids (AAs). Amino acids are bound together by peptide bonds, which link the amino end of one AA to the carboxy end of the next AA, generating a protein's primary structure. The strand of AAs then undergoes additional folding, ultimately generating complex 3-dimensional structures. Proteins have a wide variety of functions, including catalytic, structural, regulatory, transport, storage, and immunologic functions. They are digested by proteases and peptidases secreted by the stomach and pancreas and absorbed as individual AAs in the small intestines through specialized transporters. There are countless medical conditions related to protein abnormalities, including abnormalities related to enzymes, receptors, membrane channels, hormones, accumulation of proteins, and autoimmune disorders.
Pituitary Adenomas
Pituitary adenomas are tumors that develop within the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. They are classified by size (either micro- or macroadenomas) and by their ability to secrete hormones. Non-functioning or non-secretory adenomas do not secrete hormones but can compress surrounding pituitary tissue, leading to hypopituitarism. Secretory adenomas secrete various hormones depending on the cell type from which they evolved, leading to hyperpituitarism.
Congestive heart failure refers to the inability of the heart to supply the body with normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. Echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis and give information about the ejection fraction. Treatment is directed at the removal of excess fluid and decreasing oxygen demand of the heart. Prognosis depends on the underlying cause, compliance with medical therapy, and presence of comorbidities.
Cirrhosis is a late stage of hepatic parenchymal necrosis and scarring (fibrosis) most commonly due to hepatitis C infection and alcoholic liver disease. Patients may present with jaundice, ascites, and hepatosplenomegaly. Cirrhosis can also cause complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, portal hypertension, portal vein thrombosis, and hepatorenal syndrome. Diagnosis is clinical. Management requires treating the underlying disease, managing complications, and, if required, liver transplantation.
Acromegaly and Gigantism
Acromegaly and gigantism are caused by an excessive production of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. Tall stature is a clinical sign observed in some patients with gigantism. Increased GH and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are responsible for inducing hypersomatotropism. Acromegaly is usually produced by pituitary tumors secreting GH or, less commonly, by extrapituitary disorders. Gigantism typically results in children from excess GH before growth-plate closure; acromegaly typically results from excess GH after growth-plate closure. Diagnosis involves neuroimaging of the pituitary and laboratory tests to evaluate the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Treatment depends on the operative status of the tumor (if present), or a nonoperative treatment strategy may be utilized.
Hormones: Overview
Hormones are messenger molecules that are synthesized in one part of the body and move through the bloodstream to exert specific regulatory effects on another part of the body. Hormones play critical roles in coordinating cellular activities throughout the body in response to the constant changes in both the internal and external environments. The work of hormones allows the body to maintain homeostasis and regulate growth and development. Hormones are typically either made from amino acids or derived from cholesterol (the latter group being known as steroid hormones). Hormones exert their effects by binding to receptors either on the cell surface (most amino acid–based hormones) or within the cytosol (steroid hormones). Ultimately, binding to receptors triggers changes in gene expression or enzymatic activity within the cell.
Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is considered the "master endocrine gland" because it releases hormones that regulate the activity of multiple major endocrine organs in the body. The gland sits on the sella turcica, just below the hypothalamus, which is the primary regulator of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland has 2 lobes: the anterior lobe (the adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (the neurohypophysis). Each lobe has its own regulation, set of secretory products, and feedback loops. Abnormalities in the pituitary gland can lead to a wide range of clinical conditions, some of which include hyperprolactinemia, acromegaly, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and central diabetes insipidus.
Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus is a collection of various nuclei within the diencephalon in the center of the brain. The hypothalamus plays a vital role in endocrine regulation as the primary regulator of the pituitary gland, and it is the major point of integration between the central nervous and endocrine systems. Different nuclei within the hypothalamus play roles in hormone regulation and secretion, autonomic regulation, thermoregulation, food and water intake, sleep and circadian rhythms, memory, and emotional behavior. The hypothalamus has both neural and circulatory connections with the pituitary gland. Abnormalities in the hypothalamus can lead to a wide range of clinical conditions.
Hypopituitarism is a condition characterized by pituitary hormone deficiency. This condition primarily results from a disease of the pituitary gland, but it may arise from hypothalamic dysfunction. Pituitary tumors are one of the most common causes. The majority of cases affect the anterior pituitary lobe (adenohypophysis), which accounts for 80% of the gland. The hormones produced from this lobe are growth hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone, and prolactin. When the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) is also damaged, loss of antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin occurs. All of these hormones regulate the activities of different organs, and thus the effects of pituitary hypofunction are multisystemic. The diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical findings, hormone levels, provocation tests, and brain imaging. Treatment is hormone replacement and addressing the etiology.
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH)
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a disorder of impaired water excretion due to the inability to suppress the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). The inappropriate secretion of ADH can be due to various causes, including increased production by the pituitary gland due to trauma, disease, or certain medications; the ectopic secretion of ADH by cancer; or hereditary causes (nephrogenic SIADH). Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion is characterized by impaired water excretion leading to dilutional hyponatremia, which is mainly asymptomatic but may cause neurologic symptoms. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion should be suspected in any patient with hyponatremia, hypo-osmolality, and high urine osmolality.
Hyperprolactinemia
Hyperprolactinemia is defined as a condition of elevated levels of prolactin (PRL) hormone in the blood. The PRL hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and is responsible for breast development and lactation. Many factors contribute to the development of hyperprolactinemia. The most common cause is PRL-secreting pituitary adenomas (prolactinomas). Diagnosis is achieved through hormonal testing to rule out other endocrine conditions and confirmatory imaging tests. Dopamine agonists are the 1st-line drugs for treatment. Refractory cases require surgery and possibly radiation therapy.
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to concentrate urine. There are 2 subforms of DI: central DI (CDI) and nephrogenic DI (NDI). In CDI, the amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) produced by the hypothalamus or released from the pituitary gland is decreased. In nephrogenic DI, the kidneys fail to respond to circulating ADH. Both conditions result in the kidneys being unable to concentrate urine, leading to polyuria, nocturia, and polydipsia. Central and NDI are differentiated based on measured ADH levels and response to a water deprivation test. Central DI is treated with desmopressin, while nephrogenic DI is treated with diuretics and dietary salt restriction.

What are 3P Oil & Gas Reserves and Why Are They Important?
Evaluate Energy and CanOils have recently added 3P oil and gas reserves to our databases, enhancing two already extensive oil and gas company data analysis tools. But what are 3P reserves, and why are they important?
Understanding a company's recoverable oil & gas reserves is important when trying to establish their present and future value, but to do this you first need to understand the reserve information that is being provided.
There are 3 main reserve categories under the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) definition: proved; probable and possible reserves.
3P reserves refers to the combination of all three of these totals, i.e. Proved plus Probable plus Possible.
Anything below "possible", i.e. less than a 10% certainty of being able to commercially extract the oil or gas with currently available technology, will fall into 'contingent resources' or 'recoverable resources' categories. See the below diagram of the SPE definitions for further detail.
Why Do Only Some Companies Report 3P Reserves?
Proved (1P) and Proved plus Probable (2P) reserves are commonly used throughout the oil and gas world, but 3P reserve information, Proved plus Probable plus Possible, is relatively scarce. This is due to basic reporting requirements set by governing bodies. In Canada, for example, companies have to report proved (1P) and proved plus probable (2P) reserves under NI-51-101 regulations, but 3P will only be reported if the company chooses to do so, as there is no legal obligation. This means that the cost of having oil and gas deposits evaluated by reserves engineers for 3P reserves can be weighed up against the overall benefit/potential investment a company will get from publishing the findings, to see if it is worth carrying out at all.
Therefore, many companies will not report their full spectrum of reserves under all classifications to the investment community unless they see a benefit of doing so. This balance between cost and benefits is also a reason why many companies will only give 3P reserves for certain fields, focus areas, or prized assets – paying for assessments of deposits you aren't going to develop any time soon is not required.
Despite this lack of legal obligation and the extra costs involved causing many companies to opt out of 3P reserves disclosure, and the fact that reserves engineers are only between 10%-49% certain of being able to extract them, Evaluate Energy and CanOils still feel that it is important information for our clients to see.
We are now seeing more and more companies beginning to report 3P reserves, especially from the junior end of the company spectrum. Junior companies will typically buy into prospective fields, spend their first few years in existence trying to prove commerciality, and then either get acquired by or merge with a bigger player, or are joined in their commercially viable oil or gas project by a bigger player who typically takes on most of the operating costs – known as a farm-in partner.
In the junior companies' early days of evaluating an asset, there isn't a lot of money going around to pay for extensive exploration work. So typically, only a high level overview is possible, which results in little or no proved or probable reserves being booked, but maybe a high amount of possible reserves. 3P reserves are therefore a great barometer, despite their 10% certainty rating, to assess the potential of certain assets or entire companies if they are at these early stages of development.
The TSX-V exchange in Canada and the AIM exchange in London have many companies that fit this description, and 3P reserves and the hundreds of metrics Evaluate Energy and CanOils provide alongside them will be vital to any analysis of these emerging oil and gas players.
Evaluate Energy and Canoils provide efficient data solutions for oil and gas company analysis, with over a decade of historical financial and operating data, and extensive M&A, Assets and Financings databases.

Delaware Financial Literacy Institute name Ronni Cohen Executive Director
CLAYMONT, DE - U.S. Senator Tom Carper and State Treasurer Jack Markell announced today at the Claymont Community Center that Ronni K. Cohen, former Delaware Teacher of the Year, will become the first Executive Director of the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute, a new 501 (c)(3) organization. The Delaware Financial Literacy Institute, a newly formed not-for-profit, will promote financial education through the Delaware Money School and conferences. Its mission is to help individuals - especially those of low and moderate income - become equipped with the tools to get their financial lives in order so that they can be self-sufficient and enjoy financial well-being over time. The Institute will collaborate with a number of community organizations. "The evidence is compelling that many children and adults alike need ongoing education in financial management," said State Treasurer Jack Markell, a member of the Board of the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute. "Working with partner organizations throughout Delaware, the Delaware Financial Literacy Institute will play a key role in giving people the tools they need to take control of their financial lives. We couldn't have a better leader than Ronni Cohen, who has a passion for and proven track record in helping get people on the right track." Miss Cohen, who teaches at Claymont Elementary School, was Delaware's Teacher of the Year in 2000. She is retiring after 33 years of teaching economics and entrepreneurship. In 1992, Miss Cohen and her principal opened the first bank at school in Delaware with Wilmington Trust. The bank at school program has expanded to over 20 schools in the state. The program she created with her principal at Claymont Elementary School was awarded a Chamber of Commerce Superstar in Education award, as well as the Business Week award for a school that promotes the power of financial literacy. Additionally, Miss Cohen has been honored with the Freedoms Foundation Leavey award for private enterprise education. "I am excited about the challenge of working with public, private, and government sectors to create and offer opportunities for all Delawareans to develop their financial literacy and independence," said Miss Cohen. "It's hard to imagine a better choice than Ronni Cohen," said U.S. Senator Tom Carper, also a Delaware Financial Literacy Institute Board member. "We know first-hand in our family what an exceptional teacher she is. Ronni has taught both of our sons in the Brandywine School District. She instilled in them, as well as in a multitude of other students, an entrepreneurial spirit and an understanding of the importance that finances play in our everyday lives. Those lessons will serve them well for the rest of their personal and professional lives. In her new role, Ronni will be able to ensure that the same valuable lessons are made available to a broad cross-section of Delawareans from throughout our state. They will benefit and so will Delaware." Miss Cohen has studied and worked as a program coordinator for the Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship since 1972. She teaches the graduate seminar, "b-school for beginners", as well as teaches classes for the Delaware Money School on the topic of raising financially responsible children. Miss Cohen was a speaker at the 2000 Everywoman's Money Conference and she served on the planning committee for the 2001 Money $marts Kids conference. Miss Cohen serves on the Governor's Task Force for Financial Independence and the General Assembly's Joint Committee on Financial Literacy.

Iran Will Present Missile Launchers Capable Of Sailing At 160 Kilometers Per Hour
Post sponsored by livefreefun cam review site
The Iranian Navy will significantly increase the speed of its missile launchers and the range of its missiles and will present the news in the next naval exercises.
The commander of the Marine Corps of the Revolutionary Guards of Iran, Rear Admiral Alirezá Tangsirí, announced Wednesday that "ships that sail at 90 knots per hour will be announced today," a speed equivalent to 166 kilometers per hour. He did it from the city of Rasht, in the north of the country, and his words were quoted by the Fars agency .
In previous statements on Monday, Tangsirí had said that these are Iranian-made speedboats.
"Today we have missile launchers that sail at a speed of 72 knots per hour, we have also reached 80 knots per hour and we will increase the speed up to 90 knots per hour in the near future," Tangsirí said in an interview for the Iranian television
He also said that the range of marine cruise missiles of the Navy of the Islamic Republic against surface ships has increased to 300 kilometers, adding that in the next naval exercises missiles will be presented with greater range.

We spent the last two weeks of December at the very southern tip of Florida. Weather was awesome usually sunny and around 80 degrees.
First we camped in the Everglades National Park , where we rented a canoe. We took it out on to the bay and down one of the inland rivers lined by mangrove trees. Wildlife was everywhere and from the canoe you get a great perspective on it. We saw tons of birds, like pelicans, ibis, herons, turkey vultures, storks, ospreys and on and on. We also watched a dolphin play with a fish it had just caught, observed a little manatee eating plants from the rocks and docks, and saw a tarpin swim through the very shallow bay waters trying to get back out to sea. One thing that was weird were signs in the marina parking lot saying that the vultures will eat the rubber trim from you car windows! bizarre!
Next we moved down to the keys for Xmas. We booked a week at a nice RV resort called Sunshine Key as a gift to each other, rving is very expensive in the keys due to lack of land. Of course we went and saw the famous Key West and took a trolley tour around the town. It's very touristy but was cool to hang out for the day. The nicer place for us was Bahia Honda State Park. White sandy beaches, turquoise waters and waving palms, aahhhhhhh. We rented a couple kayaks and had a great day on the water. Also got some snorkel and swimming time in on another day.
Happy New Year! Next we are heading to the west side of Florida in Ft Myers, Tampa area for a few weeks exploring what's over there. Stay tuned.

The Enders Hotel – Soda Springs, ID
/ Idaho, Travel Writing
I entered Idaho from the east, following State Hwy 34 out of Freedom, WY, along the Pioneer Historic Byway and through the scenic Caribou National Forest. From the flat farmland that made up the final stretch, I approached the fairly nondescript town of Soda Springs, ID, passing various industrial properties and scattered residences on the outskirts. Crossing railroad tracks, I made a left turn and found myself on the main drag, right in front of my destination.
I had driven past The Enders Hotel on previous trips, never giving it more than a passing glance. But a recent Internet search had turned up something that made me curious to take a closer look. A unique, inside view of the hotel was available through the perspective of Brandon Schrand, who had detailed his life growing up within its walls in his book, The Enders Hotel: A Memoir. The account of the authors life as a young boy, riding a tide of hotel ups and downs and watching a revolving door of colorful characters, won him the 2007 River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize. It sounded intriguing and it wasnt long before I felt the familiar tug inside that I get when I yearn to explore something a little more closely. What better way to get a feeling of the place, I decided, than to book a room, buy a copy of his book, and read it while staying there.
I checked in during the late afternoon, choosing a second floor room with a bath down the hall, a typical set-up for old hotels. As often is the case, the smaller rooms in historic hotels are a good bargain and this was no exception. My lodging rate for the night was $65, including a credit for breakfast the following morning.
The receptionist opened the hotels gift shop so that I could purchase a copy of the book. Though there were other guests on the third floor, I was fortunate to find myself the only one on the second, which allowed me the quiet and isolation to fall into the story I held in my hands. I grabbed a quick sandwich downstairs at the Geyser View Restaurant, lugged my overnight bag up the stairs, and settled in for an evening of reading.
From the very first page I found myself drawn into the story. This intriguing memoir sent me sliding through a time machine, landing firmly in the past. I could almost hear the author as a young boy, slipping through the halls. I vividly imagined the shot of a gun that had taken down a man in the bar downstairs. I felt the presence of previous guests and tenants in nearby hotel rooms or in apartments they had inhabited along the side of the hotel. When the wind rattled the door late at night, I could sense their spirits passing by.
I had the unique luxury of stepping into the story as I paused at passages and tiptoed down the halls to find the very spots the author described. Sometimes they were identical to what the pages painted. Other times the hotels restoration had changed their physical aspects. But in all cases, the sense of the story was almost tangible.
The Enders Hotel is deceiving from the outside, hiding as a typical older building lost amidst a main street that spans only a few blocks. A passing traveler would never guess that the inside holds a beautifully restored lobby boasting smooth, refinished banisters and pristine original lighting fixtures. Care has been taken to restore hallways and rooms with detail and authenticity. Furnished with antiques, its not difficult to imagine the hotel as it was when it first opened in 1917.
A museum occupies a good portion of the second floor, free of charge. Carefully arranged rooms present displays of early life in Soda Springs. Visitors can view old photographs of the town and its inhabitants, antique equipment for sewing, cooking and dentistry, with historical information accompanying each category. Sadly, at the time of my visit, a gun that belonged to the Sundance Kid had been recently stolen from the museum. But many other artifacts remain as reminders of the town in its early days.
I slept well, in spite of an eerie sensation that seemed to hover around me. As it is, the hotel has the reputation of being haunted, even without the additional insight I had gained from Schrand's recollections. When morning arrived, I ventured downstairs again to the restaurant, this time for breakfast. Having read much of the book the night before, I looked around the eatery with a new familiarity. I could easily imagine the young author sitting at the counter, ordering an after-school snack and chatting with familiar waitresses. Though the cafe was renovated along with the hotel, I now saw it as it appeared decades ago.
I checked out reluctantly. This was a peaceful, economical and inspiring place for me. I could have stayed much longer. Perhaps I could have lived there, as Brandon Schrand did many years before.
Before leaving Soda Springs, I strolled over to the Soda Springs Geyser, a natural geyser that, now regulated by a timer, erupts every hour on the hour. Several others stopped by in time to see the hourly show. Situated right behind the hotel, the geysers location held stories from Schrand's memoir, as well. A small building had served as a clubhouse for the author and a cemetery bordering the back of the geyser's hill had been regular stomping grounds.
My visit to Soda Springs was a fascinating excursion into the past. The Enders Hotel stands as a testament to the hidden treasures that small towns hold. They say not to judge a book by its cover. I say not to judge a hotel by its façade.

September 1, 2017 Entrepreneurs and Start-ups, Equity Crowdfunding, FinTech and Alternative Finance, Marketplace Lending/P2P, Online Lending No comments
Australian SMEs are turning to alternative sources of funding
Finder.com.au | By Elizabeth Barry | August 30, 2017
New research shows Aussie businesses are embracing online lending and P2P, but many are still not getting the loan they want.
Australian businesses are turning to crowdfunding, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and online loans for finance, according to new research from Businessloans.com.au. The Small Business Credit Survey, conducted by ACA Research, found that the most sought-after alternative funding source was equity finance (34%), followed closely by online lenders (30%) and P2P business loans (21%).
CEO of GetCapital Jamie Osborn says that the alternative lending sector is at an important inflection point in Australia.
"The sector has moved through the early adopter phase and is now beginning to gain more mainstream attention," says CEO of GetCapital Jamie Osborn.
"At the same time, the leading lenders across the alternative lending space are continuing to innovate and offer businesses better products and customer experiences – as long as that continues, you will see the market further embrace the alternative lenders."

30% Online Lender
34% Equity Finance
18% Crowdfunding
21% Peer-to-Peer
12% Friends & Family
2% Other
However, while small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are embracing alternative sources of capital, not all of them are receiving the loans they hope for. The survey revealed that while 84.1% of businesses were successful in their applications, less than half of those (38.9%) of those were approved for all of the credit they applied for.
It is interesting to note that the number of businesses which were declined a loan is only 1.6% of respondents. The remaining 14.3% of the "unsuccessful applicant" group was approved for less than half of the loan they had asked for. Over one-third of this group (35%) had applied for more than or equal to $250,000.

Rutgers Poison Control Expert Available to Discuss FDA Warnings that Dietary Supplements May Be Harmful
Newswise — Newark, N.J. (Nov. 12, 2018)— A Rutgers University poison control center expert is available to discuss FDA warnings that dietary supplements may be harmful.
Data from 2007 to 2016 show that more than 776 dietary supplements contained unapproved pharmaceutical ingredients. Many of these products are sold for weight loss, muscle building or sexual enhancement.
"Just because it's sold over the counter doesn't mean it's without risk," said Diane Calello, executive and medical director of the New Jersey Poison Control Center at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School's Department of Emergency Medicine. "Dietary supplements may not always be what they seem. Products often make health claims that are unfounded and contain ingredients that may cause dangerous effects."
More information is available at the New Jersey Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 or www.njpies.org
Diane Calello, the New Jersey Poison Control Center's executive and medical director, can be reached at petilldi@njms.rutgers.edu.
Calello can also be reached by contacting New Jersey Poison Control at 973-972-9280.

Within this category, a small enterprise is one which employs fewer than 50 persons and whose annual turnover and/or annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 10 million.
A microenterprise is one which employs fewer than 10 persons and whose annual turnover and/or annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 2 million.
A firm which is part of larger grouping may need to include employee numbers, turnover and balance sheet data from that grouping.
According to the European Commission, 99% of businesses in the EU are SMEs and as such, they are "a key driver for economic growth, innovation, employment and social integration". The Federation of Small Business (FSB) states that over 99% businesses in the UK are SMEs, and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills suggest that 99.9% of UK construction contracting businesses are SMEs (ref. BIS UK CONSTRUCTION, An economic analysis of the sector JULY 2013).
Despite this, construction SMEs find it difficult to break into the market for larger projects, particularly within the public sector. A report by the Federation of Master Builders in 2013 suggested that 40% of construction SMEs were failing to win nine out of ten public sector contracts and more than half reported their success rate falling over the last five years. This is partly due to the cost and difficulty of pre-qualifying and tendering (see Building SMEs slam poor government procurement practices). The government has attempted to tackle this with the introduction of standard documentation such as PAS91 and continues to consult on strategies for making public sector procurement more accessible to SMEs.
In December 2013, then-Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock set out how a range of measures intended to make it easier for small businesses to grow in Small Business: GREAT Ambition. Measures were announced to tackle late payment and to remove the barriers to public contracts by abolishing pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQs) for low-value contracts and mandating the use of core PQQs for high value contracts.

Доматените жаби, още жаби домат (Dyscophus) са род безопашати земноводни от семейство Тесноусти жаби (Microhylidae), единствени в подсемейство Dyscophinae. Общото им наименование идва от яркочервената окраска на вида D. antongilii.

Разпространение
Те са ендемични за Мадагаскар. Жабите домат са застрашени от изчезване.

Жизнен цикъл
Жабата домат живее 6 – 8 години. Полова зрялост достигат на 9 – 14 месеца. Размножават се през дъждовния сезон и водят нощен начин на живот. Женската снася над 1000 яйца, от които след 36 часа се развиват попови лъжички, които след 45 дни се превръщат в малки жабчета. Доматената жаба се храни с дребни насекоми и безгръбначни. Женските са по-едри от мъжките екземпляри. Самките достигат до 10 см дължина, докато дължината на самците е 6 – 8 см.

Окраска
При възрастните екземпляри цветът може да варира от жълто-оранжев до наситено червен, като зависи от пола. Женските са червено-оранжеви до тъмночервени, докато мъжките не са толкова ярки – цветът им варира от жълто-оранжев до кафяво-оранжев. Младите екземпляри също имат по-тъмни цветове, които стават по-ярки със съзряването им. Коремчето на всички екземпляри е жълтеникаво, като понякога има и тъмни петна по гърдите.

Защита
Когато се чувства застрашена, доматената жаба отделя от кожата си гъста слуз, която дразни очите и лигавицата на нападателя и за да се предпази, хищникът се отказва от атаката. Слузта съдържа токсин, който може да предизвика алергична реакция при човека, но не е смъртоносен. При покой доматените жаби не отделят защитна субстанция, а само когато са в опасност.

Видове
Към доматените жаби спадат следните видове:
 Dyscophus antongilii (Grandidier, 1877) – Доматена жаба
 Dyscophus guineti (Grandidier, 1875)
 Dyscophus insularis (Grandidier, 1872)

Q: Oracle table result set in xml format Environment : Oracle Express 11g
I have developed an Oracle stored procedure to return multiple records from table in xml format. Unfortunately it is working for single records. For multiple records it is returning error

ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

Please suggest how to fix error.
Stored procedure
create or replace function view_to_xml return clob as
  xml xmltype;
 data clob;
begin
select XMLELEMENT("PERSONS",
   (
     select XMLELEMENT("PERSON",
                 XMLELEMENT("SNO",SNO),
                 XMLELEMENT("NAME",name),
                 XMLELEMENT("AGE",AGE)
   ) as "result" from person
   )
   ) into xml from dual;

 SELECT XMLSerialize(DOCUMENT xml AS CLOB) into data FROM DUAL;

return data;
end ;

A: Instead of wrapping each element from query to persons
select XMLELEMENT("PERSONS",

you should aggreagete them to one element using XMLAGG :
select XMLELEMENT("PERSONS", XMLAGG(person_))
into xml
from
(
  select XMLELEMENT("PERSON",
                 XMLELEMENT("SNO",SNO),
                 XMLELEMENT("NAME",name),
                 XMLELEMENT("AGE",AGE)) as person_
   from person
);

A: Stawros, Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried but could not resolve problem using XMLAGG. I was able to solved problem differently. Here is the solution
create or replace function view_to_xml return clob as
  xml xmltype;
  ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxhandle;
  resultset sys_refcursor;

begin

 open resultset for
 select * from PERSONS;
 ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext(resultset);
 dbms_xmlgen.setrowsettag(ctx, 'PERSONS');
 dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'PERSON');

 xml:= dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype(ctx);
 dbms_xmlgen.closecontext(ctx);
 close resultset;

 return xml.getStringVal();

The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in the State of Telangana, India, freely provides a fortified complementary food product, Bal Amrutham, as a take-home ration to children 6-35 months of age. In order to understand the potential for impact of any intervention, it is essential to assess coverage and utilization of the program and to address the barriers to its coverage and utilization. A two-stage, stratified cross-sectional cluster survey was conducted to estimate the coverage and utilization of Bal Amrutham and to identify their barriers and drivers. In randomly selected catchment areas of ICDS centers, children under 36 months of age were randomly selected. A questionnaire, constructed from different validated and standard modules and designed to collect coverage data on nutrition programs, was administered to caregivers. A total of 1,077 children were enrolled in the survey. The coverage of the fortified take-home ration was found to be high among the target population. Nearly all caregivers (93.7%) had heard of Bal Amrutham and 86.8% had already received the product for the target child. Among the children surveyed, 57.2% consumed the product regularly. The ICDS program's services were not found to be a barrier to product coverage. In fact, the ICDS program was found to be widely available, accessible, accepted, and utilized by the population in both urban and rural catchment areas, as well as among poor and non-poor households. However, two barriers to optimal coverage were found: the irregular supply of the product to the beneficiaries and the intra-household sharing of the product. Although sharing was common, the product was estimated to provide the target children with significant proportions of the daily requirements of macro- and micronutrients. Bal Amrutham is widely available, accepted, and consumed among the target population in the catchment areas of ICDS centers. The coverage of the product could be further increased by improving the supply chain.

Sometimes a book shifts something within and makes you look at the world differently. Other times, a cover lures you. As a writer, I choose novels I feel will be a worthy investment of my reading time. 'The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart' by Holly Ringland did more than that – I took that journey with Alice, learned the language of flowers and found my own.
This year, the winter solstice arrived and put an end to weeks of much needed rain, revealing the bluest sky that was full of possibility. I was a third of the way through Ringland's novel, when, in the company of my four-legged girl and another dog I was minding, I decided to take my walk into the bush rather than along the beach. I felt like the child version of Alice in Ringland's story who was enticed by the pathway that led through the bush to the river. As I walked, like Alice, the bush embraced me, and I needed to be nurtured.
The earth had been washed clean leaving generous puddles that divided the tracks. Water, held in bowls of clay, would last the months ahead, ensuring the birds and marsupials flourish. Pools tinged aqua on their edges reflected the green foliage above.
I took the 'Black Swamp' track and came to where the path divides in three. I realised I had previously only ever gone left or right. On this day, I went straight ahead, towards the area that had been razed by fire nearly two years ago. The landscape changed from the sandy forests where great silver gums pointed to a previous time. Wide-girthed eucalyptus trees revealed their age. Heavy branches of one, supported in the bough of another, creaked like the rusty hinges of a door… uncertain of allowing me access. I climbed a gentle slope and realised one particular eucalypt was scarred – a powerful reminder of the original custodians, the Jerrinja. A hidden secret that belongs to the Saltwater People and their ancestors.
Down into the boggy marshes where frogs gathered in a croaking choir. I picked my way through, trying to keep my feet dry. And then the path climbed, steeper this time. My phone's satellite map told me of my location – a pulsating blue dot enclosed by trees. The dogs, nature and me. I had found the solace I was looking for. I breathed in huge lungsful of fresh air and felt the happiest I had in a long time.
But something tugged at me to go further, deeper, just like the new scents that drove the dogs onwards. Blackened trunks became embedded in the brightest green undergrowth. The bush thinned and it was then that I came to a halt. A sweet honey aroma of wildflowers took me to an unfamiliar place. Wherever I looked, I saw their exquisiteness in varied colours and forms. Fragile yet hardy. I imagined myself as Alice, examining their beauty. But instead of putting them into my pockets, I took photographs.
Tiny stamens called for the birds, the bees and the breeze to carry their lives forward. It was as though the flowers were speaking ever so eloquently. Just as Ringland suggests –flowers are the words to express our thanks, our love, our sympathy.
Feeling the freedom of life without time restrictions, I explored the essence of the bush for hours, until, urged by hunger, I decided to return. As I neared the quaint village of Myola, I was reminded of the callous nature of humans who use the track to discard unwanted objects that would never decompose. And a sadness tried to find its way in but I thought of Alice and her flowers and the beauty held deep within the bush. I arrived home and wanted nothing more than to finish the book. As with Alice, Holly Ringland's novel evoked a fire that burns within my own heart, encouraging me to find the words and trust my own stories.
A few weeks later, I walked back to the place of wildflowers. The flowers I'd seen earlier had mostly fulfilled their lives and the colours of red and orange had faded. Instead, there were pinks and purples. And once again, I was entranced by the language of flowers and they spoke of happiness and peace.

Interview with Vadim Vasilev
Interview / By Magdalena Schmid
Vadim Vasilev aka Vadicore is an artist born in 1989 in the beautiful city of Ventspils, currently based in Velikiy Novgorod. He grew up surrounded by industrial landscape and white sands bordering with cold and endless waters of the Baltic Sea. Post-soviet era was a strange place to be in, with its dark aesthetic and a soundtrack mixed with metal, trip-hop and electronic music. Vadicore first started drawing out of boredom but later created his own visual language inspired mostly by women.
Interview with Jannik Stegen
Jannik Stegen is an illustrator from Heidelberg, Germany.
In his works he explores geometric compositions and organic elements. Inspired by people and nature he narrates stories through joyful characters; sometimes to tell a message, sometimes just for fun.
Interview with Hélder Dias
Hélder Dias is a Graphic Designer by profession and heart, graduated from ESEIG (currently ESMAD), lives and works in the great Porto. His passion ranges from typography and editorial design to branding and illustration, passing through many other creative fields.
With a strong opinion about design and a posture of constant learning between practice and theory, he strives to explore unique concepts that suit each client, thus responding to the most varied needs of visual communication. Nothing is left to chance.
Interview with Miró Ingmar Tiebe aka MIRUEL
Miró Ingmar Tiebe aka MIRUEL is an illustrator from Hamburg, Germany. In his works he is always looking for more variety in his style. He is influenced by the stylistics of Art Nouveau and many science fiction artists of the 70's and 80's, as well as contemporary graphic design and long walks through nature, where he likes to observe the forms of plants and landscapes. By combining all these differences in his work, he aims to creates new visual forms of expression and dynamics in illustration.
Interview with Matteo Bertin
Matteo Bertin is an italian based art director who designs experiences to improve communication among people. Because of his experimental approach to design his studio is packed with movable types and old printing machines.
Matteo believes that focusing on the design method rather than the final result can be the right choice to guarantee better and long-lasting products.
Interview with Janosch Feiertag
Janosch Feiertag lives and works in Kassel where he also runs and curates the gallery "FEIERTAG" which is connected to a billboard project. Inspired by bulky waste, sausage stalls and his neighbours, he started drawing in his childhood and now collaborates with artists from Germany as well as abroad. Janosch studied fine arts and visual communication in Kassel and Kraków and is a trained theater painter.
Interview with Guillaume Kashima
Guillaume Kashima is a french illustrator living in Berlin. He started his career as a graphic designer in advertising – later moved on to illustration. From this experience, he kept a direct and minimal approach of images as the main carrier of communication. His work today embraces different fields and mediums, such as prints, apps or objects in general. Guillaume's work is very versatile in terms of visual aesthetics, but his process always originates from boldness and humour.
Sebastian was born in 1975 near Stuttgart, Germany. He studied pedagogy and now supports social and care workers. It's a bit of a cliche but true: his grandfather gave him his first camera at the age of 12 or so, and since then photography has become much more than just a pastime – it's a love and a passion, a way to express his feelings. Sebastian specializes in street, landscape and portrait photography. He is located in Schorndorf, a small town in the south of Germany.

Scientific misconduct
Scientific misconduct is the violation of the standard codes of scholarly conduct and ethical behavior in professional scientific research. This includes such actions as intentionally falsifying research results reported in a journal article, which is considered unethical and in some jurisdictions may be illegal. The definition also encompasses plagiarism and/or the violation of ethical standards regarding human and animal experiments, such as the standard that a human subject of the experiment must give informed consent to the experiment.
The word falsifying used above should not be confused with the legitimate and essential activity of finding and sharing evidence that contradicts a hypothesis (see falsifiability) but is used in the sense of deliberately presenting known false information as true with the intent to deceive.
Three percent of the 3,475 research institutions that report to the US Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Research Integrity , indicate some form of scientific misconduct. (Source: Wired Magazine, March 2004)
1 Motivation to commit scientific misconduct
2 Cases of alleged scientific misconduct and related incidents
3 Suppression/non-publication of data
Motivation to commit scientific misconduct
According to David Goodstein of Caltech, there are three main motivators for scientists to commit misconduct, which are briefly summarised here.
Career pressure
Science is still a very strongly career-driven discipline. Scientists depend on a good reputation to receive ongoing support and funding; and a good reputation relies largely on the publication of high-profile scientific papers. Hence, there is a strong imperative to "publish or perish". Clearly, this may motivate desperate (or fame-hungry) scientists to fabricate results.
"Knowing the right answer"
Even on the rare occasions when scientists do falsify data, they almost never do so with the active intent to introduce false information into the body of scientific knowledge. Rather, they intend to introduce a fact that they believe is true, without going to the trouble and difficulty of actually performing the experiments required.
"The ability to get away with it"
In most scientific fields, results are often difficult to reproduce accurately, being obscured by noise, artifacts and other extraneous data. That means that even if a scientist does falsify data, they can expect to get away with it - or at least claim innocence if their results conflict with others in the same field.
Cases of alleged scientific misconduct and related incidents
Piltdown man scandal
Elias Alsabti scandal
John Darsee scandal
William Summerlin scandal
Jan Hendrik Schön scandal
Robert Gallo's dubious claims
David Baltimore's dubious claims
Jacques Benveniste affair
Sokal affair
Suppression/non-publication of data
A related issue concerns the deliberate suppression, failure to publish, or selective release of the findings of scientific studies. Such cases may not be strictly definable as scientific misconduct as the deliberate falsification of results is not present. However, in such cases the intent may nevertheless be to deliberately deceive. Studies may be suppressed or remain unpublished because the findings are perceived to undermine the commercial, political or other interests of the sponsoring agent or because they fail to support the ideological goals of the researcher. This is distinguishable from other concepts such as bad science, junk science or pseudoscience where the criticism centres on the methodology or underlying assumptions. It may be possible in some cases to use statistical methods to show that the datasets being offered in relation to a given field are incomplete. However this may simply reflect the existence real-world restrictions on researchers without justifying more sinister conclusions.

Q: How to get one field of every document of a collection on Firestore? I'm trying to get just one field of every document of one collection. What i'm doing is to do a subscribe method to fill a list for a dynamic filter, but i know it doesnt work, what is the best way to get just what i want? I would like to be subscribed to it, here is my code:
this.af.collection('objects').valueChanges().subscribe(data => {
  this.listTitles.push(data.title)
});

A: .subscribe won't work in your case, probably you need to split your code like this,
this.objectCollectionRef = this.af.collection('objects');
this.objectCollection = this.objectCollectionRef.valueChanges();

for(let data of this.objectCollection){
   this.listTitles.push(data.title)
}

Hope this helps!

A: Just map the result and use async in your template
class YourComponent{
  listTitles:Observable<String>;

  constructor(){
    this.listTitles = this.af.collection('objects').valueChanges().pipe(
      map(objs => objs.map(obj => obj.title))
    )
  }
}

And in your template :
<ng-container *ngFor="let item of listTitles | async">
 <!-- have fun -->
</ng-container>

Landscape lighting is the process of installing lighting in public landscapes such as park's and also private gardens and this is often done with the aim providing security and accessibility to such places especially when it is dark. Landscape lighting is known to have both functional and aesthetic functions and benefits such as enhancing the appearance of the garden or public landscape this is because lighting always makes land features pop out and this in turn enhances the appearance of both the private and public landscapes.
Landscape lighting is likewise accepted to expand the usefulness of open air spaces this is on account of a scene that is sufficiently bright gives all the more light and henceforth individuals can have the capacity to continue with outside exercises notwithstanding it being dull for instance Landscape lighting enables individuals to go to amusements, for example, football and individuals can likewise appreciate spending their night at the garden because of scene lighting.
Landscape lighting also promotes security this is because landscapes that are well lit often have low risks of crime for example break-ins this is because the lighting often covers many areas of the house and also those of the park hence one can be able to see whether someone is after them or not and this in turn promotes security of people both at home and also in public landscapes.
Landscape also increases the value of the home this is because a well-lit landscape also tends to attract prospect buyers of the home as it creates an appeal to the customers and this increases the chances of a home owner selling their house fast. Landscape lighting moreover offers comfort to the people from the home this is by virtue of a patio that is adequately brilliant hoists comfort to the people from the house as they can have the ability to loosen up and welcome some coffee at the comfort of the yard while getting a charge out of the cool wind and stars amid the night.
