Monday, March 4, Montpellier Business School had the great pleasure of receiving Professor Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize 2006, pioneer of microcredit, for a day of sharing with our students through workshops and a conference. MBS also officially presented its Chair Microfinance in developed countries, one of whose ambitions is the opening of a Yunus Center, in order to contribute to the visibility of social business.
Founder of the Grameen Bank, Professor Yunus has developed a system now recognized worldwide as a means to fight against poverty, by allowing project owners with limited resources to obtain a loan. Exceptional guest at Montpellier Business School thanks to the YY Campus Tour, the father of social business came to share his vision of an alternative economic model and defend strong values held dear by MBS – openness, diversity, equal opportunities & global responsibility. A real source of inspiration for our students, future managers, trained to become responsible actors in a changing world.
A large number of students came to attend the conference. They were able to deepen their knowledge of social business and to measure the impact of microfinance on a global scale: the Grameen Bank has supported more than 9 million entrepreneurs so far. In order to develop the subject, MSc in Finance students & graduates with social business projects were invited to speak next to Professor Yunus. Among them, Jason Moses came to present his mobile application aimed to compare the impact of international solidarity projects – a project that had also been awarded with the Innovative Company Award and Responsible for the MBS Foundation in 2018.
A few months ago, MBS created its Chair in Microfinance with the Microfinance Institution Créa-Sol (founding member) and the support of Caisse d'Epargne Languedoc Roussillon. Officially presented on March 4 by its chairholder Dr. Anastasia Cozarenco, the Chair in Microfinance of MBS is the only one to focus on developed countries, with 3 main axes: academic research through studies mobilizing an international network of multidisciplinary researchers; pedagogical support in the new programme Master of Science in Responsible Finance, and the organisation of international events (conferences, workshops) – the next one to come being the 6th "European Research Conference on Microfinance" in partnership with the University Paris – Dauphine and the French National Research Institute for Development (IRD). In addition to these activities, the Chair announces the will to develop its network of partners and to create a Yunus Social Business Center, like HEC & La Sorbonne, to train students, future managers, in social business.
In accordance with the bylaws of the Montpellier Business School Association, the Board of Directors met today to elect its new Bureau and its new Chairman.
The members of the Bureau elected André Deljarry as President of Montpellier Business School.
After congratulating Jean-Christophe Arguillère on the spectacular development of MBS over the past five years, President Deljarry said "It is with great pride that I am, today, the President of this school of excellence. I will be a strong advocate for the values of this school that has gone through 120 years of history here in Montpellier and of which I am proud, and I will make sure that this beautiful story continues through innovation and sharing ".
Montpellier Business School is a non-profit organization, governed by the so-called law of 1901. Its Board of Directors determines the general policy of the association. It drives the General Assembly debates and vote ; while delegating the execution of this policy to the Bureau. The Bureau meets when convened by the President whenever he sees fit and at least seven times a year.
As a final year student in the Grande Ecole Programme of Montpellier Business School, Rémi Pfrunner has made international openness one of his leitmotivs, as evidenced by his mission as ambassador for European careers which he has chosen to pursue this year. Rémi wants to help MBS students discover and seize the professional opportunities (internships, jobs, mobility…) offered by a supranational entity as big as the European Union.
Rémi, can you summarize your academic background?
After a scientific High School Diploma and two years of preparatory class, I joined the Grand Ecole program of Montpellier Business School. I then completed my M1 in Chile in a double-diploma configuration. I had the chance to discover a very different culture. After a one-year professionalization break, I am now in my last year of my Entrepreneurship specialization (apprenticeship contract) and I'm an EU Career Ambassador.
Why did you get involved in the European career promotion program "EU Careers"?
I have always loved foreign cultures. In my first year at MBS, I joined the World'Co student association, which allows foreign students to better fit into the school, the city and the host country. My then President, Laura, was also my predecessor as EU Careers Ambassador, so we had the opportunity to discuss the role of Ambassador as such. The European Union is a wonderful opportunity for graduates of the Grande Ecoles of Management and I think that informing students about the careers that can be achieved in the EU is important to help them plan their careers according to their life objectives.
What do you plan to do concretely as an ambassador?
Being on the campus one week a month, I set up 3 monthly information sessions until the end of the year. These three sessions include a general presentation, information on prerequisites and recruitment, as well as explanations about tests and exams. Various interventions will also take place on the campus. I also remain available via the Facebook page "EU Careers – Montpellier Business School" to answer any questions students may have about European careers.
The Career Center of Montpellier Business School proposed for the first time a thematic week called "Work Me Up" from the 21st to the 24th of January 2019. The objective was to introduce businesses environment and the wide range of professions to first-year students of the Grande Ecole Programme in order to give them a broad vision of the possible choices in terms of professional orientation.
This 1st edition of MBS' Work Me Up Challenges had several highlights that allowed students to better understand the business world, its functioning and the different business sectors: challenges around business exploration, meetings with companies and professionals, round tables, etc.
The first day was thus business-oriented, with the participation of many professionals to share their views and experiences through speeches in front of all students, then during thematic round tables led by professionals from different business sectors (retail, IT, consulting etc.). Numerous companies especially came to meet MBS students like Microsoft, Dell, Ayming, Pierre Fabre, Lidl, Capgemini, Septeo, Accenture and Haribo.
The following day was devoted to the "network" dimension with a presentation of the MBS graduates' association and a presentation by Marc Vinciguerra, a Business Developer at My Job Glasses, on networking.
Finally, the last phase of this Work Me Up consisted in the creation of a "trades fair" by the students. Divided into 10 areas corresponding to the 8 main functions (HR, marketing, finance, sales, marketing, supply chain logistics, e-business and project management consulting), 48 professions were represented. To conclude the week, a vote by the students rewarded the most creative and educational stands. Congratulations to the "IS Consultant" and "Community Manager" teams, and our thanks go to Sandra Grazioli, an MBS 2013 graduate and co-manager of the Prizoners Montpellier escape game room, who came to make a speech and offer vouchers to the winners.
On Friday, February 1st, the solemn, moving, and festive Executive MBA graduation ceremony rewarded and honoured the Class of 2018.
The MBS Executive MBA is an ACCSB and AMBA accredited programme that also provides the RNCP 1st Level Certification "Manager of Business Development or Business Unit". The entire Class of 2018 graduated under the applause of students' families, friends, professors, professors and programme managers.
André Deljarry, President of CCI Hérault and 1st Vice-President of CCI Occitania, attended the event to congratulate the graduates. He directly addressed them: "By choosing Montpellier Business School, you have had access to a methodology that will allow you to better understand complex problems in a moving and changing world. You can be proud of your contribution to the influence of this school and I wish you all to fulfil your ambitions".
After the speeches by Matthias Bauland, Deputy Director-General in charge of MBS development and Magdalena François-Thurin, Executive Director of Education, Dr David Roubaud, Deputy Director-General in charge of academic affairs and research, said: "Congratulations for the work accomplished and the obtain results. My thanks go to the faculty for its impact and involvement, but also to you, dear 2018 graduates, for all that you have taught us. Success requires commitment, tenacity, but also curiosity, creativity and inspiration. You also have to know how to break certain codes to reach things that seem impossible. Tonight, you are the pride of your loved ones, but also our pride".
Head of the class in Fast-Track (1 year) and winner of the 2018 Thesis Prize , Laura Lecurieux-Belfond was awarded twice for her work. "Nothing is easy but everything is possible," Laura said on the stage of the MBS Grand Amphitheatre. "The thesis is not only an academic exercise, because this work also opens up professional opportunities for me today ".
Rémi Trouville, head of the class in the Part-Time program (2 years), delivered an energetic speech. "I decided to challenge myself by resuming my studies at 40 years old (…) since the first day; we promised ourselves, as strangers, to go all the way and graduate together! Tonight is therefore a joint victory because we are leaving with a great collective richness".
Congratulations also to Christophe Brice, the winner of the Award of Excellence for his exceptional career within the MBA, but also to all the graduates of this Year Group. See you next year for the graduation of the 25th class of the MBS Executive MBA program!

Genvex units bring heat, fresh air & hot water to award-winning scheme
The Burnham Overy Staithe development in North Norfolk picked up a prestigious UK Passivhaus Award in October, and is profiled in depth on page 28 of the new issue of Passive House Plus.
Space heating, hot water and ventilation to the dwellings is provided by Genvex Combi 185 compact service units, which combine heat recovery ventilation and an air-to-water heat pump, and were supplied by Total Home Environment.
Consisting of a terrace of three dwellings, these passive house units are part of a larger mixed development of affordable and open market housing developed by Hastoe Housing Association, and lie within the North Norfolk area of outstanding natural beauty. "As there was no gas in the area, we were asked to install our compact service unit to not only provide heat recovery ventilation, but via the integral heat pump, all the heating and domestic hot water requirements to each of the houses," Clarissa Youden of Total Home Environment told Passive House Plus.
She said that early monitoring indicates performance is as anticipated with heat load hovering around 8W/m2, temperature at a constant 21C, indoor carbon dioxide averaging 650ppm and relative humidity averaging 55%. The North Norfolk coast has a significant proportion of second homes, which has driven housing costs beyond the reach of local people, and passive house was specified by Hastoe as a means of addressing fuel poverty in the area.
The Genvex Combi 185 is a Passive House Institute certified combined heat recovery ventilation unit with air-source heat pump. Youden said it can provide heat recovery ventilation at all times, even when the heat pump is delivering hot water, and has a COP (coefficient of performance) of 4.5, according to Total Home Environment. It is an all-in-one compact unit, meaning the system's components are integrated. Genvex systems are distributed in Ireland by Origen, Ecosystems Ireland & Ashgrove.
A video profile of the Burnham Overy Staithe project, with enthusiastic reports from residents, is also available below.

Dola de Jong (10 October 1911 - 12 November 2003) was a Jewish Dutch-American writer. She is most well-known for her publication of The Tree and the Vine in 1954, which depicts a lesbian relationship.

Personal life and education
Dola de Jong was born Dorothea Rosalie de Jong in 1911 in Arnhem, The Netherlands, to a wealthy Jewish father, Salomon Louis de Jong, and a German mother, Lotte Rosalie Benjamin.

de Jong had two brothers. She owes her name to her older brother Hans, who changed Dorothea (or Dora) into Dola. Her mother, German by birth, was in poor health, so Dola often stayed with an 'aunt Mathilde' in Haarlem. Her mother died when Dola was five years old.

As a young woman, she aspired to become a ballet dancer, but her conservative father viewed ballet as "one step away from prostitution," as she told HetParool in a 1982 interview. Her father wanted to send her to a finishing school in Lausanne, "but I was a rebel," she said, "I always have been."

Instead, she took a job at a local newspaper, Nieuwe Arnhemsche Courant. When the newspaper went bankrupt, de Jong moved to Amsterdam in the early 1930s where she started taking dance lessons. She became a member of the Royal Dutch Ballet for eight years and toured the Netherlands with the Yvonne Georgi. To fund her dance lessons, De Jong started working as a freelance journalist, writing under the pseudonym Sourit Ballon. During this time, she also published some children's books.

While many around her were in denial of the growing threat to the east, de Jong was quick to realize that the Netherlands was no longer safe for Jewish people. She fled the country for Tangier, Morocco in April 1940, weeks before the Nazis invaded Holland. Her father, stepmother, and one brother, whom she could not convince to leave with her, were killed by the Nazis.

In Tangier, de Jong married the painter Jan Hoowij in 1941. In the same year, the two moved to New York City. de Jong became an American citizen in 1947. She later divorced Hoowij and married her second husband, Robert Joseph. Together they had one son, Ian, in 1951.

In 1970, she separated from Robert Joseph and started a relationship with Oscar Van Leer. The couple moved to The Netherlands, where she lived until their breakup. In 1978, she returned to New York, where she began started studying psychology and literature at the Empire State College of the State University of New York. After graduating in 1983, at 72, Dola worked as a teacher at the same institution until she was 78.

In the late 1980s, she started painting, and wrote for De Nieuwe Amsterdammer.

Career
Dola de Jong published her first adult novel in 1939. In 1945, she published a novel about war refugees, The Field is the World, which was inspired by her stay in Tangier. Two years later, the novel was published in Dutch as En de akker is de wereld, and was awarded the City of Amsterdam's Literature Prize in 1947. Dola was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for the thriller The House on Charlton Street (1962), and later won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for the mystery novel The Whirligig of Time (1964), which she later translated into Dutch.

Along with her writing, de Jong worked as a literary agent for publishing houses, resulting in the U.S. publications of Anne Frank, Hugo Claus, Jan Cremer, etc.

The Tree and the Vine is one of de Jong's most prominent works. It was originally published in Dutch in 1954, and translated to English in 1961. It is set in the Netherlands in the 1930s, and describes a love between two women. It is candid in its depiction of queer desire. The relationship is complicated, and explores many aspects of love and life in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. The lesbian subject matter is surprising, considering the time in which the book was published. It fits into the tradition of American lesbian pulp fiction books, and like many of those books, the story does not end happily for the lesbian relationship. Instead, it normalizes the characters' unhappinesses, showing them to be just as complicated as anyone else's, despite sexuality. Because of its setting, it's possible de Jong drew on her own life to write this novel. Before its publication in the Netherlands, it was rejected as "unpublishable" and "shameless." To publish in America, it took the intervention of distinguished friends abroad, including de Jong's American editor, Maxwell Perkins, to get the novel into print. When it first appeared in English in 1961, reviewers likewise misread this subtle character study, bizarrely, as trash about "compulsive sin" and "the world of the sexual pervert," Lillian Faderman noted in a later reissue.

The Tree and the Vine was reissued by the Feminist Press in 1996.

Death
Dola de Jong started to have heart problems in the 1980s, and was diagnosed with cancer of the bone marrow in 1995. She left New York in 1995 to live in a nursing home in Laguna Woods, California, not far from her son Ian.

Dola died in California on November 12, 2003, at 92.

Q: AD Sites and Services - Adding Subnets We have various physical sites with servers, workstation, printers, switches, and routers.  Is there a reason to add subnets that do not contain Windows devices? For example printers or switches? We have separate subnets for these devices.
Thank You!

A: There isn't a technical reason.  Devices that are not joined to Active Directory and don't use AD for authentication aren't going to leverage AD Sites and Subnets.
One reason for doing it anyway would be thoroughness. Having all your subnets accounted for in AD, even if the subnet has no AD clients in it, is one way of having your environment being self-documenting.

What a wonderful weekend it's been! After a nice, quiet Friday night I woke up early Saturday morning and hopped the bus to West Busan to start my move into my new apartment. Two suitcases and a duffel bag later I landed in Hwamyeong-dong, dropped my luggage, and headed over to Lotte Mart to grab some essentials (Cereal, Milk, Fruits, Veggies, and Beer, of course!). Having met a new Canadian friend last week we already had plans to head to the Soccer Game so we (A - the girl who lived in my apartment before me) packed up and met the group at the subway. We ended up being a group of about 10 people by the time the match began, and an eclectic group of hilarious personalities meant that there were many, many laughs throughout the game.
Tickets were only KRW 10,000 (about $11.35 Canadian) and we were allowed to bring food and drinks into the stadium. I saw people with full large-sized pizzas walking into the game, which made me want pizza in a bad, bad way. The next game is March 21st (and I have 3 free tickets from some fortune cookies they were handing out - huzzah!) so perhaps that will be on the prep agenda.
The speakers in this former World Cup facility were incredibly loud. There was lots of fanfare (and fireworks!) to start the game against Daejon.
The Half-Time show was...interesting. There were some dancers with pompoms in quite a state of undress, followed by some AWESOME kids doing a Taekwondo demonstration to music that sounded like a combination of Queen, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. It was epic.
Busan scored late in the game and the crowd went wild. To be fair, every time Busan got close to scoring a goal the crowd reacted (everyone would jump up and scream and the band - yes there was a band - would play excitedly). Overall? Great experience with great people. I can most definitely picture going to many more games especially as the weather heats up.
By the time the game ended we were hungry and excited to go snack on some local fare. We decided to go to Seomyeon for Jjimdak (thanks, Alice!) to introduce us newcomers to just one of the many "downtown" areas of Busan.
The food was tasty (and spicy!) and I was surprised a few times by the bones throughout. The noodles in the dish weren't really necessary with the rice, and since there were potatoes in the stew it was a pretty carb-heavy meal. 3 of those bowls shared among 10 people was way too much food, but we still managed to head over for my first taste of Bingsu (or Bing-soo)!
We went to Mango Monster so, of course, we had to try the Mango flavour. We also decided to get a Cappuccino because 1 order was just not enough for 6 girls on a mission!
I didn't really understand why some places advertise Bingsu as "snow". It's either shaved ice or shaved frozen milk, but realistically it tastes like flavoured snow. I think I tried to market something similar when I was about 5 but it just became grape juice-infused Canadian winter snow. Not quite the same.
After dessert we went into a few makeup shops as one of the girls in our group loves nail polish - I feel we should probably focus on that next time we shop together because the girl knows how to use bold colours that pop perfectly together.
The desire to meet new people in my new city was strong, so when we found out that there was a pub crawl in the Kyungsung University district we hmm-ed and hawed and decided that despite the long cab ride home (long as in KRW 30,000 which is less than a ride home to downtown from Yonge and Eglinton in Toronto so...) we would go. I actually met a girl from UBC Music (she's a pianist so I'm hoping that we can pick up some sheet music and rock - er...Opera out together!) as well as some other EPIK (a public school English Program) expats that live up around Hwamyeong. Hwamyeong is not the most convenient spot in Busan, but my apartment in large and clean and the area has everything I could need so I'm pretty happy!
The first bar we went to was called Eva's Ticket. I was really happy to have a fellow Canadian with us who has been in Busan for a few months now and could show us around. The pub crawl was organized by a guy from Ottawa who seems to organize a lot of events for expats (not just parties - trips to local festivals, etc. as well). Canadian and American jerseys and flags were tacked to the ceiling. These were the first of many to come over the 5 bars to which we traveled.
We got our passes stamped and since we were a little fashionably Kate to the party we decided to mosey on to the next bar where an expat Rugby team had already started drinking pretty heavily. This is where we actually got to sit down and have some decent conversations. Ultimately we didn't stay super long because there were another 3 bars to hit up on our journey.
The next bar ("Drunken Master") was playing Jackie Chan movies, had darts DIRECTLY in the middle of the establishment, and was incredibly slammed. They had some drinking games that we didn't actually stick around for, and they handed out some sweet chili nachos for which I would most definitely go back! The staff were busy, but still managed to provide great quality guest service in a mess of drunken expats. It was best to observe seeing as we had a bit of a trek back to Hwammy and still 2 bars to go.
Blue Monkey was where things got a even more interesting. We were pacing our drinks seeing as we had had a pretty long day thus far (and because we no longer have the excuse of being barely 19), but I don't think that the rest of the group got the memo. There were stripper poles EVERYWHERE and people (fully clothed, of course) were having a very, very good time whirling themselves around the poles and nearly flinging themselves onto the dancefloor. It was great entertainment, and I was really glad we snagged a table so we could rest our feet and watch the show(s).
Last, but not least, was Eva's (just Eva's this time!) which was the last stop. We handed in our passport stamp cards and waited for a draw. I managed to win some beers next time we're in the KSU area and at Eva's (woohoo!) and found out that a girl in our pub crawl trip from Hwamyeong is actually a sister (Kappa Alpha Theta from a chapter in California). Greek life works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?
All in all this was a wicked night and I'm so glad to have met these amazing people. A couple of them are leaving soon, but others are just starting their Korea adventure and I can't wait to learn more about them while discovering this country that is so rich in history and culture.

Why choose Stanislaus Smog 2?
Nobody enjoys getting a smog. We'd like to help you prepare yourself to pass! We're a Test Only Smog Station, that means we don't do repairs and we have no incentive for failing you. You can trust our inspection. We WANT you to pass!
Drive your vehicle for at least 20 minutes prior to arriving at Stanislaus Smog 2, smog check station. Vehicles have a computer which monitors the emissions system. If the vehicle is not driven X amount prior to resetting the codes, replacing a battery, jump starting a vehicle, etc. the codes are lost and the computer will not pass an inspection. As California continues to change its smog requirements, these restrictions become more and more difficult to prepare for.
Tire inflation - ensure your tires and evenly inflated for best results on the testing equipment. This is mostly for vehicle smogs on 1999 and older cars.
Change the oil - Vehicle maintenance is important to maintain proper emission expulsion.
Make sure the Check Engine light is not illuminated. If it's on, the vehicle needs to be taken to a mechanic to fix the problem first. Don't forget step 1! If the mechanic resets your monitors to reset your error code, he probably erased you vehicles data with it. Monitors won't be ready! A constantly illuminated Check Engine light is an automatic smog test failure. Make sure you drive the vehicle X amount (50-100 miles approximately) so your monitors have the necessary data.
You've prepared yourself and your vehicle. We are looking forward to seeing you for your Smog Test and Registration Services. Print our coupon, then head over for a smog check. You're ready!

However, students are often struggling with low budget, which presents quite a problem when they need to try outwriting services.
Not only the tasks are impossible to finish without sacrificing free time or even the necessary amount ofsleep, but there is also the fact that the educational system is not advanced enough for professors to know when a task is too-time demanding or of an extremely high standard.
Therefore, it so often happens that even the most talented and hard-working students are stuck in between assignments and need some professional help. All this led me to choose to share my personal experience with custom writing services with the purpose of helping you make the right decision. Once I saw that the pile on my desk is not getting smaller, I looked up for a service online and found AssignmentExpert.
Education is a tough path to follow. While in school, students form a basic knowledge of everything around them, so that they can choose a discipline they want to further explore in college and contribute to when at university.
All institutions come with a different amount of burden, but the truth is that students of all ages often struggle with the numerous tasks and pressure of deadlines teachers assign every day. Our educational system is not perfect, because of too many tasks assigned to the students during any course. And the majority of these tasks have very high standards for an average student. Of course, no one says that there are no talented students who are able easily to cope with anything, but the majority of us are the hard-workers who are trying to achieve their life goals paying attention to learning new and development different skills we will need in future.
And writing tasks are usually the main obstacle doing so. First of all, I need high-quality content. Another important thing is the customer support — I need the agents to be available exactly when I need them. When I first started searching for the perfect custom-writing services, I thought it would be impossible to find a service that meets all those standards, but I was lucky to find few agencies that were perfect for my needs. AssignmentMasters is one of them.
The standards are high. We are burdened with credit requirements, so we must take several elective courses in order to achieve the limit. The worst part is that all these courses come with different assignments, essays, research papers, article critiques, and whatnot. Have you ever tried writing a research paper without success? You invest tons of effort, spend days going through different library sources, but the results are never satisfactory and you finally realize that you need help with its completion.
I thought I had this topic sorted out; World War 2 is an endless source of arguments. Nevertheless, I lost my motivation somewhere along the way, so I needed an assignment writing service that would follow my lead.
Before I start reviewing this new service I discovered, let me clarify one thing: I usually try to write my own assignments, at least when the requirements are clear and the papers are supposed to be relatively short. This was one of those assignments, but I had no time or will to complete it.
It was for my human resource management course, which I found absolutely boring and unnecessary. Thus, I decided to hire a new service that would offer a decent price and strong guarantees.
Let me tell you one thing about my college studies: I can handle classes and exams, but the assignments cross every limit of common sense. How can I find the time to go through the entire textbook, attend classes, have a part-time job, and write assignments on top of everything?

LOCAL'S GUIDE TO COFFS HARBOUR It one of the most visited towns on the NSW north coast, but how well do you really know Coffs Harbour? WORDS & PHOTOS ADAM SMITH When I tell people I grew up in Coffs Harbour, they usually smile and respond with something about The Big Banana. It's easy to understand why – the highway icon is impossible to miss at the north end of town and has grown over the years, adding a water park, ice skating rink, mini golf course and more. While a day there can be fun, the township around it has also evolved and is more like a small cosmopolitan city these days. Every time I come back to see my family, I'm surprised at how much things have changed, but visiting new places and rediscovering old haunts are what it's all about. THE PROMENADE On the first morning of every visit, I usually head down to The Promenade (coffspromenade.com.au) for breakfast, which overlooks the tidal mangroves of Coffs Creek and has restaurants, shops and a day spa. At Shearwater Restaurant, I'll order the best eggs benedict I've had anywhere, with pesto spread on focaccia and a blob of sweet relish. You can eat it on the balcony and watch juvenile schools of fish swimming in the shallow water below, waiting for someone to throw in a piece of bread. Visitors can also hire stand-up paddle boards or kayaks and set off from the wooden ramp to explore the waterway's tranquil branches. Some of the locals at LOOK AT ME NOW HEADLAND One of the best places to absorb a bit of free coastal serenity is a 15-minute drive up the coast. Take the highway exit to Emerald Beach and drive past its popular main beach to Moonee Beach Nature Reserve car park. On the short stroll to Look At Me Now Headland, you're sure to encounter its population of eastern grey kangaroos. If it's a hot summer day, they'll be resting in the shade of shrubs and will barely bat a long eyelash at passing humans. Some have ear tags and there's a sign informing visitors about a study the National Parks and Wildlife Service is doing on the animals' impact on grasslands. From the headland, the view south over Moonee Beach is spectacular. Surfers wait for rolling swells in the turquoise waters and, on the day I'm there, are joined by a pod of 20 or so dolphins just beyond the breakers. 24 OPEN ROAD rest in the dunes along the headland walk.

Citrus Pests
Order Diptera
Similar species
Citrus pest flies can be easily confused with wasps and bees. Each group can be identified by examining the mouthparts, body texture, and hindwings.
Body Texture
Slightly hairy Shiny and smooth Fuzzy
Mouthparts
Sponging Chewing Siphoning
Hindwing
Modified to knob-like stablizing structures (halteres) Membranous Membranous
Diagnostic characteristics
Smallest size - 1.5 mm (0.06 in.).
Largest size - 8 mm (0.31 in.).
Gnat-like to house fly body shape with females usually larger than males.
Either uniformly dark or vari-colored body with assorted spots or stripes.
Body bristles (hair) either thick or sparse on thorax.
Sponge-like mouthparts present. Some adult species have functionless (vestigial) mouthparts and live only long enough to mate.
Antennae are either pouch-like with a lateral bristle (aristate) or bead-like (moniliform).
Large compound eyes present.
Green to reddish-purple eye color.
Membranous pair of forewings either translucent or distinctly patterned with a marbled or spotted appearance.
Hindwings are modified to knob-like structures (halteres).
The 'feet' or tarsi are 5-segmented.
Several species have a long, tubular ovipositor sheath present.
Pupae
Smallest size - 0.85 mm (0.33 in.).
Largest size - 4.9 mm (0.19 in.).
Elongate and oval or cylindrical.
Light yellow to dark reddish brown. Pupae darken prior to emergence.
Hard, all-encompassing protective cover (puparium) present.
Commonly found within soil.
Smallest size - 1.9 mm (0.071 in.).
Largest size - 13 mm (0.51 in.).
Typically 3 larval instars.
Several species are initially creamy-white, but assume the color of the food ingested. Some species appear transparent and turn light yellow-orange prior to pupation.
Most species are cylindrical and elongated. Some species have a narrowed, recurved anterior end.
Anterior mouth hooks present.
Lacking a well-developed head capsule.
Smallest size - 0.27 mm (0.011 in.).
Smooth and white or translucent in color.
Eggs are hidden within the fruit peel, stamens, or style.
Egg shape ranges between cylindrical and tapered or elongate and elliptical.
Citrus hosts
Dipterans have several citrus species listed as ideal host plants which include grapefruit, mandarin, lemon, lime, and orange. See individual fact sheets for more detailed information.
Non-citrus hosts
Dipterans have a broad host plant range that include vegetables, field, and flower crops. See individual fact sheets for more detailed information.
Host damage
Larvae feed on the stems, buds, flower ovary, stamens, or petals which can lead to ovary destruction, premature flower drop, or necrotic patching.
Gravid females deposit eggs within the fruit epidermis. Emerging larvae create feeding tunnels within the pulp. Larvae also create holes when exiting the fruit to pupate. Damaged fruit appear water soaked or distorted and are susceptible to secondary infection.
Larvae infest and feed on young seedlings and tap roots.
Females lay several eggs at a time and deposit them on various host plant parts including the fruit skin, stamen, or style. Eggs hatch within two weeks in warm weather. Larvae can feed extensively within the flower or develop feeding tunnels within the pulp for more than a month. After three instars, larvae chew exit holes and drop to the ground to pupate. Adults emerge from the soil and can live for more than a year in ideal conditions. Some adult species only survive long enough to mate. Several generations can occur per year.

Q: How will i use Crystal Reports on Executive Summary(and other summaries) & Letters? The system that we are going to develop in our capstone project needed printed reports like Summaries, Letters and Memos. i needed to know how to use crystal reports in C#.

A: see a link.http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10948/How-to-use-Crystal-Report-in-your-projecthttp://csharp.net-informations.com/crystal-reports/csharp-crystal-reports-tutorial.htm

A: You may want to consider alternatives as Crystal requires quite a bit of knowledge and "special" software. Not to mention the dependencies and issues surrounding.
Could you use word templates for example? Where placeholders are used and your application merges the data in according. This makes the reports 100x more maintainable by end users.

Inflammatory Infant Mortality Study a Prime Example of Flawed 'Pay to Play' Science
by Nicole Jacobs May 2, 2017
An inflammatory new study claiming fracking "kills babies" was published last week by Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP). The study received zero mainstream media attention, which probably has something to do with its numerous glaring flaws. But it also points to a wider problem – that of subpar studies appearing in what are known as "pay-to-play" open-access journals such as SCIRP.
To be clear, this is not to suggest that all studies that are published in open-access journals are flawed. But it is important to note that there has been an alarming amount of deeply unsound research claiming fracking harms public health coming out of these kinds of journals (stay tuned for a deeper dive on that soon).
"Open-access" means that anything these journals publish is free to the public. But in turn, study authors have to pay a fee – sometimes thousands of dollars – to have their work published by the journal. Though this allows for more access to the public due to the fact that published studies are not behind a paywall, in many cases, these publications aren't subject to the more rigorous scientific vetting process that other journals require.
Open access journals have been criticized for publishing "studies regardless of whether they're credible and scientifically sound" and having "screening processes that are too weak to prevent a lot of dubious findings from getting into circulation." In fact, SCIRP is included in a 2010 list of "predatory publishers" compiled by University of Colorado librarian Jeffrey Beall. Nature also heavily criticized SCIRP in 2013 for "duplicated papers online that had been published elsewhere" and listing people on its editorial board who had no clue they were named.
The Federal Trade Commission actually issued a warning and filed a lawsuit against one such group which runs "pay-to-play" journals in 2016, stating:
"If you're a scholar or scientist, you know the value of being published in an academic journal. Unfortunately, some dishonest publishers also understand this — and have used it to profit from rather than promote legitimate advancements in research and academia."
Fact: Researchers Don't Take Water Samples, Meanwhile Actual Samples Show No Elevated Risk
Like many of the recent studies claiming fracking harms public health, the researchers didn't even bother to take water samples to support their claim that well water radiation attributable to fracking was responsible for the increased Pennsylvania infant mortality rates alleged in the study.
The study concludes that "evidence is discussed which supports the contamination of the drinking water by naturally occurring radioactive material, including Radium as a cause of the increased risk." But the evidence discussed is simply references to previous studies completed by the authors, including John Mangano, who works for the Radiation and Public Health Project in New York City, which has received funding from the Pittsburgh Foundation for another anti-fracking study linking fracking to infant mortality.
That study, by the way, has been discredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which actually took water samples and concluded,
"There is little potential for additional radiation exposure to the public due to the use of natural gas extracted from geologic formations in Pa." (page 18)
Further in 2013, Dr. Lynn Anspaugh, a renowned expert in radiation and health at the University of Utah, released a report, which also engaged in direct sampling from the Marcellus Shale and concluded,
"The sample analyses clearly show that the radon levels in the natural gas are low and will cause no significant health risk."
And a report by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) found that radon levels in Marcellus gas are "essentially equal to background values" or what's already naturally occurring, and that the radon levels "pose no threat to public health or the environment." In fact, in 2015 when Johns Hopkins University released a study attempting to link fracking with high levels of radon the data set they used actually showed the highest levels that occurred in the state were in counties with no Marcellus development.
In other words, the risks of exposure to radiation from Marcellus gas aren't considered a health risk in Pennsylvania.
Fact: Authors do not look at any other potential causes of EIM
While the authors do acknowledge that on an individual county level "the small numbers do not permit any statistical certainty for each county on its own," they still make the jump that fracking is the cause for any changes in early infant mortality (EIM). And they do so without any discussion on important factors that impact infant health, such as genetics or whether the mother used drugs or alcohol.
This has been an issue in other studies that try to link fracking to pregnancy or newborn related issues. For instance, Dr. Gilbert Ross, senior director of medicine and public health at the American Council on Science and Health conducted an interview on the Johns Hopkins study on premature births in 2015 where he explained,
"There is no possible way this retrospective study could have accounted for key issues, such as genetic factors, history of prior pregnancy issues, [or] drug or alcohol use in the parents, all of which have a large influence on birth weights and the duration of pregnancy," Ross said.
"Realistically, there is no way hydraulic fracturing could have had an impact on pregnancy outcomes," said Ross. "Fracking occurs two miles below the surface, and the Environmental Protection Agency found no evidence that hydraulic fracturing is causing widespread water contamination. There is no plausible mechanism to explain how pregnant women might have been exposed to anything related to fracking to cause attenuated gestation duration. Indeed, the authors didn't measure any levels of possible toxicant exposure," said Ross. "How could they, of course, in a retrospective analysis such as this?" (emphasis added)
While his comments were directed at the causes of premature birth, the issues he mentioned – genetic factors, history of pregnancy issues, drug and alcohol use – all can impact the growth of the infant and its health in its first 28 days of life. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) explains that the most common causes of early infant mortality – in this case defined as death before a child's first birthday – are:
Low weight at birth
Pregnancy complications for the mother
Sudden unexpected infant death and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Accidents (unintentional injuries)
The CDC also offers reasons for why each of these might come about, listing factors that other studies of fracking and health have been criticized for leaving out. For example, the CDC says birth defects can be the result of:
Smoking, drinking alcohol, or taking certain "street" drugs during pregnancy.
Having certain medical conditions, such as being obese or having uncontrolled diabetes before and during pregnancy.
Taking certain medications, such as isotretinoin (a drug used to treat severe acne).
Having someone in your family with a birth defect. To learn more about your risk of having a baby with a birth defect, you can talk with a clinical geneticist or a genetic counselor.
Being an older mother, typically over the age of 34 years.
None of these were discussed as possible contributing factors to increased EIM rates. Further, the authors don't even discuss whether the mothers or infants had any more association to well water and gas wells other than simply living in a county where there is some shale development. In fact, they used 2011 Marcellus well data for a study conducted from 2010 to 2003, giving the appearance of there being more wells in each county than there actually were at the time of the study.
This study is littered with issues from beginning to end — most notably a complete disregard for the scientific process.
The authors failed to take water samples in the study area. Nowhere in this study do the authors discuss any potential factors contributing to EIM other than radium in the water from the fracking process — a theory that has been thoroughly debunked. There's also no discussion of proximity to Marcellus wells, family history or whether or not the mothers used drugs or alcohol while pregnant.
All told, this is a glaring example of researchers using an unfounded and inflammatory topline finding in hopes of garnering media attention in order to advance an anti-fracking agenda. But it looks like the media has caught on to this "fake science" made possible by an open-access "pay to play" journals such as SCIRP.

Rapid resource discovery in P2P networks is a challenging problem because users search for different resources at different times, and, nodes and their resources can vary dynamically as nodes join and leave the network. Traditional resource discovery techniques such as flooding generate enormous amounts of traffic, while improved P2P resource discovery mechanisms such as distributed hash tables(DHT) introduce additional overhead for maintaining content hashes on different nodes. In contrast, self-adaptive systems such as ant algorithms provide a suitable paradigm for controlled dissemination of P2P query messages. In this paper, we describe an evolutionary ant algorithm for rapidly discovering resources in a P2P network.
