At Bridgeport Place, people can live a life of relaxation while they meet friends, enjoy restaurant-style meals, and receive compassionate long-term care. The community's assisted living program is comprehensive, offering senior living solutions for people who need help with their daily activities.
Located in beautiful University Place, WA, Bridgeport Place residents have easy access to everything the surrounding area has to offer. From stunning views to quality locally-owned businesses, older adults have limitless opportunities for fun outside of the community.
Bridgeport Place offers four floor plans: two studios, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom. Residents can choose from a standard studio or a studio with an alcove, which offers additional space. Studio apartments feature a large living room that doubles as a sleeping area, creating an expansive, open living environment. One-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments offer more solitude thanks to their private bedrooms, but they may cost more than studio floor plans.
Residents are welcome to prepare meals in their kitchenettes, but most are happy to eat in Bridgeport Place's on-site restaurant. The restaurant serves an ever-changing selection of meals three times daily, featuring delicious recipes like marinated pork roast, garlic-herb chicken and baby back ribs. The menu changes monthly, letting residents try new meals and seasonal favorites on a daily basis.
Social activities are open to all residents, including those in short-term respite care. By offering community events, Bridgeport Place stimulates their residents' minds and helps them define their retirement with new hobbies, interests, and meaningful friendships.
People who come to Bridgeport Place for short-term respite care are welcome to the same senior care services like long-term care residents. However, the community does not offer memory care services and may not be a suitable choice for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Memory impairments and Alzheimer's disease can be challenging and often require specialized care. Bridgeport Place is not equipped for people with moderate or severe memory loss, however, their staff can help prospective residents find a suitable memory care program in the community.

Q: How do I know if Bridgeport Place is right for me?
Everyone's care needs are different and they may change with age. Bridgeport Place offers a safe and soothing environment for people who need mild to moderate care, giving them a place to enjoy their retirement with the security of around-the-clock care.
Do they need ongoing medical attention to treat chronic illness or injury?
Do they have Alzheimer's or dementia?
Do they need help with their activities of daily living?
If a person requires continual medical attention or they are non-ambulatory, Bridgeport Place may not be a suitable alternative to skilled nursing care. Their staff is not equipped to help people with advanced medical needs and the community may not admit applicants who require ongoing health care services for the person's safety. The community cannot admit anyone they are not sure they can care for, and this may apply to people who fall into these categories.
The same principle applies to people living with Alzheimer's and dementia. Memory loss and impairments introduce unique challenges into a person's life that may require special care. Bridgeport Place does not have a memory care community on site, nor do they offer Alzheimer's care services. Depending on the severity of a person's symptoms, Bridgeport Place may not be a suitable choice for people with Alzheimer's disease.

Bridgeport Place offers a wide variety of assisted living services and wellness programs, but they do not offer specialized memory care services.

My aunt is very happy with her apartment at Bridgeport Place and I think she has one of the largest at the community. She was able to bring most of her furniture, so she is very comfortable in her room. In terms of services, we're very happy with her housekeeping, it's always clean there when we go and maintenance is doing great, so she is happy with everything. When she did need help, the healthcare staff was right there for her, so they're accessible and responsive to her needs. I'd tell people to check it out, visit the others and see what you think. We liked it because it did both the Assisted and Independent kind of together, so she gets assisted when she needs it, otherwise they let her be. Overall, it has been a good experience for her and I don't hear her say anything about leaving anymore.
I didn't look around; my husband did a few years back. I think Bridgeport Place is good for my mother-in-law; it's not too big, but big enough. Management is doing wonderfully. The move in went well. Maintenance is wonderful, and housekeeping has been great. My mother-in-law seems to enjoy eating there a lot. She's been going down to the cafeteria which is really good. The activities are also very good. The caregiver staff has been just wonderful. She's been there a couple of months and we know she is safe and comfortable.
My wife and I have lived her since 2017, August, and consider the services very good. I am pleased with the building, management, and care. We have a two bedroom apartment and that takes care of our needs. We have our own bathrooms. We feel very comfortable. First and foremost, the front end management is always there if we need them. Our needs are their interest, and I feel my wife would say the same. Mona and her daughter in housekeeping do a very good job keeping the place clean and what have you. I've not had a problem whatsoever and they have answered any call or request I've come up with. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are done quite well at Bridgeport Place. Amy in activities tries to keep folks active, get things going in the afternoons and evenings. Maintenance is L.G.'s area of responsibility, she's Johnny-on-the-spot when you need her, and she does take care of it. I would recommend it highly, because it meets the needs of residents. It's very neat and clean, and that is especially important to seniors.
My husband and I have found the front-end managers to be very willing to help people. I don't need any assistance, but my husband does. The caregivers have been very, very good. Housekeeping is excellent, and anything I've asked to have repaired, maintenance has done it. We've used the van here a couple times, it has a lift for the wheelchair. It's easy to schedule and reliable. I think the price is reasonable. It's not cheap, but it's adequate care, things are clean, food is reasonable, so it's a fair value.
I moved my clients in this August. What I really like about them is the size of the community and how updated it is is a nice bonus. The staffing and the care is amazing. The family has been happy with Housekeeping. The maintenance is doing really well. They are one of the best-kept, well-run communities. The competition doesn't hold a candle to Bridgeport Place.
Transportation is one of the reasons I came to Bridgeport Place in the first place. Maureen goes out of her way, waits for me and takes me, so I don't know what I'd do without her. She has the patience, is loving and I can't believe how well she treats all the people. Besides transportation, the management at the community is accessible and responsive to my issues and my housekeeping lady is excellent. If I have any problems, Leslie told me to go to her and she will correct what she can. She is an ambitious and intelligent lady, so we have really been blessed with her. Overall, I am satisfied with the services offered here.
Management has been good, we had one meeting with them talking about my father's needs and what he is getting and that went well. He is happy with the food. The staff are great. There are plenty of activities offered and he has been participating in the exercises. Housekeeping is great, as is transportation. The care is good. They manage his pills. I would recommend it, we have had no major complaints.
We were there almost every day and knew all of the staff. The grounds look great. Leslie and her team of cleaners are just fantastic. It was excellent. They were on top of it 100%. The management there really took care of my parents and went above and beyond. We were so happy to have them there for the time being.
I think it is a good community. My mother does not participate in many of the activities offered, but she does enjoy the scenic drives. She says she always likes the food and the service in the dining room. The care seems to be going well. The value is good and her room seems to be pretty clean and taken care of. I've haven't had any major complaints.
The management always answers our questions and is available to offer whatever we asked for at the time. They always handle everything efficiently and on time. We have never had a problem with housekeeping. They always handle everything efficiently and on time. The on-site Maintenance girl Leslie is 100%. She is caring, efficient, and she's always there. It's like she works 24 hours, I don't know how she does it. I think everyone has been very efficient overall.
My sister and I looked at a lot of places. This is the closest to us but also worked out that this is the best place. We are very glad she is there. Mom moved out of a house she was in for 60 years. This was a difficult move. She will occasionally say she misses her home. But this is a lot safer where she is now. Maureen is wonderful. I know she is very busy. When I need anything cared for, I tell Maureen and it is done. But she is always so friendly. Everyone there is friendly and professional. It is a huge relief to my sister and I. I would steer anyone there. I would tell them to look around and then come to Bridgeport Place.
Due to her dementia the best I can hope for is that she is comfortable and happy and as healthy as possible. When I first brought my mom there, she fought me tooth and nail. After a month went by, she said it was the best decision she made. She loves this place. She really likes it there. It is her home now. Everyone treats her with respect. They have tried to get her engaged, but she is content sitting in the lobby, drinking her coffee. They have plenty of activities offered, though. Whenever I have been there, it is very tidy. The housekeepers are helping with laundry and that seems to be fine. One of the things that I was trying to key in on is what my mom's needs were. I wanted to find a smaller place. This is the right size for her. If you are someone that's looking for activities and decent meals, then this is a good place.
I do not know what other facilities cost, but I think the price here is fair. The chef is accessible and takes our complaints or recommendations to heart and listens to us. The housekeepers clean our apartment for us once a week and they take our linens and wash them for us. The young lady who runs maintenance does an awesome job. She works as hard as she can. I think the caregivers attend to their duties quite well. The management staff is accessible, which is important.
Overall, I thought it was really good. We toured many Assisted Living facilities and we felt that the Bridgeport Place food was one of the best. As far as the personal care of my mother, it was very good. I think they have a good number of activities. My mom didn't partake too much, especially in the latter years. She wouldn't remember to go even though it was something I know she would have liked. When we brought things to the maintenance staff's attention, they were taken care of. We were happy with her being there. If I had to do it again under the same circumstances, I would probably still put mother there.
Our experience has been excellent. We feel the people are very welcoming and friendly, we felt comfortable moving in, and even the residents are great. The response has been quite prompt when we call for help to get my husband up or into bed. They've been really prompt, and very willing to listen to what he says about how well he can move. Looking at the list of activities, they look very interesting. We did go to a movie the other day and really enjoyed that. The management staff has been very pleasant and willing to listen. It's very comparable in price to our last facility.

The Fox News Shakeup Continues With Payouts And Walkouts
Adam Campbell
When Gretchen Carlson claimed that Roger Ailes, the CEO of Fox News, sexually harassed the former Miss America, nobody saw this coming.
Roger Ailes was the most powerful CEO in cable news until Gretchen Carlson claimed sexual harassment.
Since the claim, Carlson and Fox have settled out of court to the tune of $20 million dollars. That is a big payday.
Andrea Tantaros was fired and has filed her own suite against Fox and Ailes for sexual harassment.
Roger Ailes has been kicked out and over 50 staff members said they would leave if Ailes was let go. Many of them had a clause in their contracts that stated they could leave if Roger left the network for any reason.
Now we learn that Greta Van Susteren is leaving Fox after 14 years. Brit Hume, the longtime political reporter will take over "On the Record".
The breakup came at the end of contract debates and the rumor is that nobody could come to an agreement.
Greta is opting to take the "key-man clause" to get out of her contract and leave Fox.
The co-presidents of Fox News, Jack Abernathy and Bill Shine released a statement about Greta's departure.
"We are grateful for Greta's many contributions over the years and wish her continued success."
They quickly shifted to speaking about the person who will fill Greta's spot.
"As one of the best political analysts in the industry, Brit is the ideal choice to host a nightly political program while the most dynamic and captivating election in recent history unfolds. Having Brit at the helm of this show will enable Fox News to continue on track to have its highest-rated year ever as the network dominates the cable news landscape."
The move could be filler until they find something new to replace the "On the Record" show after the elections.
Brit Hume released his own statement regarding the change.
"My Fox News colleagues have set a high standard for political coverage which I'll do my best to uphold. I'm honored to be asked."
The changeups and fallout from the Ailes departure isn't over, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the ratings much as Fox continues to dominate all other cable news channels.
Do you think that Greta leaving will hurt the ratings? Let us know in the comments below.

Wild Chimp Culture Caught On Camera
October 1, 2014 By Jason Leathers Leave a Comment
The researchers revealed that, we have captured special tools that is used by wild population of chimps and this believes to be the major evidence that a new culture is evolving.
The team of researchers captured the moment at a field station in Uganda. We observed that chimps were busy in making new type of leaf-sponge, which they might used for drinking, researchers stated.
However, this can be seen that this new behavior may possible spread all over the chimps group.
The Study is published in the PLOS Biology journal.
"The chimps make a leaf-sponge, which they dip into ponds and then suck the water out," Lead researcher Dr Catherine Hobaiter, from the University of St Andrews stated.
She further stated in her interview with BBC News, "We were so lucky that we captured the two news tools made by these chimps in order to drink water from ponds."
One of our fellow researchers sees a dominant male chimpanzee, which used moss instead of leaf to make that sponge. We captured these moments in our cameras. I saw this behavior seems spreading among individual to individual, Dr Hobaiter said.
"Principally, if you saw it done, you learned how to do it, and if you didn't you didn't," Dr Catherine Hobaiter told.
We believe that it's a king of social learning that wasn't happened in the wild before. "We have had that in captivity and indications in the wild, but this was the final little piece of the puzzle," researchers say.
Furthermore, the researchers' team from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland analyzed the video in order to find out accurately how the new tool developed and spread.
This is actually a fact that new behaviors were "variations of the old, eminent sponge-making technique" proposed that chimp culture changes slowly, structuring on formerly attained information in order to develop an existing tool repertoire, Dr Thibaud Gruber from the University of Neuchatel stated.
He further told BBC News that, "With admiration to humans, our results strongly hold up the idea that the last common ancestors of chimps and humans could learn cultural behaviors from each other, in a similar way."
Moreover, "We already knew that the chimps are enough able to do that," Dr Susanne Schultz from the University of Manchester said.

Q: SPL Autoload and namespaces After looking through the web I have managed to build a working SPL_Autoload and use namespaces in it. It does work but it also looks a bit strange to me compared to all of the examples I was looking at and the documentation. Am I using everything and understanding it correctly?
$class looks up a class called subdir\timer and since it cannot find it goes to the SPL_autoload
$class = new subdir\timer;

The SPL_autoload is suppose to look for a file in the folder 'subdir' with a file 'timer' ending in either .php or .class.php (thanks to the SPL_extensions)
Now I am not really sure what is going on in register and SPL_autoload. When I tried register by itself it was not using the _extensions but when i added spl_autoload it worked fine. Only thing is I have never seen it setup like this in any examples so I really question this part
spl_autoload_extensions(".php,.class.php");
spl_autoload_register(function($class){
    spl_autoload("$class");
});

What do you think, any things that cam be improved on or that I did wrong?

A: I've tested it and it works for me:
set_include_path(__DIR__.'PATH_TO_LIB');
spl_autoload_extensions('.php,.class.php');
spl_autoload_register();

So you've set the correct include_path?
Further for namespaces and classnames there is a standard called PSR-0.
https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md
They also have a SplClassLoader which is a little bigger but also more flexible, although I wonder that you can only set one file extension. Well but search for PSR-0 autoloader and you'll find more implementations. By the way there are also the standards PSR-1 and PSR-2 which are worth to know..

Daal – Daedalus
Nick Hudson 13 September 2022 Daal
I've always found books more interesting and enjoyable than film or tv, because I almost always prefer the images my imagination can conjure up from the words on a page than that which is presented to me. Similarly, I often find instrumental music more evocative than that with vocals, allowing my mind to wander and wonder in unexpected directions. It's no surprise then that I've been a fan of Italian duo Daal for many years now, with their intriguingly titled (mostly) instrumental releases, and Daedalus felt like the album that Davide Guidoni and Alfio Costa had been leading me to all along. Every labyrinth has its centre, and with Daedalus it seemed I had found Daal's. The only trouble is I was almost 90 per cent sure I was entirely wrong. It was as if I had seen two and two, and had somehow managed to make five. I knew it was improbable, because two and two make four – and yet, I could so easily join the dots to make five seem entirely reasonable. In the end I sent my review to Davide, and let him let me down. Two and two make four, not five. I was (as I already was almost sure I was) wrong. It would have been easy to simply rewrite my review, but music can be a very personal thing, and interpreted and experienced by different listeners in different ways. We all choose our own path through the labyrinth, and this is mine.
I was late to seeing the intertwining levels of meaning (if they even existed) in Daal's releases. It took until 2018's Navels Falling Into a Living Origami for me to start making connections. It is almost inarguable that both the artwork and titles of much of Daal's discography share imagery. That didn't mean there was also shared meaning, but my mind ascribed meaning – whether it was there or not. I even couldn't help wondering if the previous Nodo Gordiano album (H.E.X.) was also part of the foreshadowing to Daedalus. After all, the 'X' in H.E.X. on that album stands for 'Xoana' – wooden cult images from Ancient Greece, associated with (yes, you guessed it) Daedalus. So here we are, with what ostensibly is an album about the classical mythology surrounding Daedalus, his labyrinth, and his son, Icarus (two plus two equals four). But the artwork and titles of this album, taken along with the artwork and titles from previous releases suggested to me that the labyrinth is that of human variation, of the human genome, of DNA, and of genetic modification (two plus two equals five).
Perhaps it's because my introduction to Daal was Dodecahedron (2012). Its cover art implies that the dodecahedron in question is the "Platonic solid". Of the five Platonic solids, Plato associated each with one of the four elements. Each, that is, except the dodecahedron, which he claimed the gods used for creating the constellations of the heavens. With the zodiac symbols on the cover, this seems a fairly safe interpretation (two plus two equals four). But I'm determined to crack a code, even if it doesn't exist. The dodecahedron is not just the building block of space, but of life! In the geometry of DNA, its double helix consists of stacked dodecahedra that rotate along the molecule (two plus two equals five). The inner cover art and CD for 2014's Dances of the Drastic Navels shows the navel as a labyrinth. Navels Falling Into a Living Origami from 2018, has a title that references previous Daal titles, and connects them neatly (two plus two equals four). But the navel shell is an origami design, that looks like the (not paper) shell on the cover art (showing its umbilicus). Furthermore, the manipulation by nanoscale folding of DNA is called, yes, DNA origami – living origami, if you will. And you'll never guess what one of the most revolutionary DNA origami design algorithms is known as? Ok, you might. Yes, it's Daedalus. (Two plus two equals five).
Regardless of whether or not I was right (I was not), the labyrinthine nature of Daal's music is completely suited for Daedalus. All labyrinths have an inherent duality, embodying simultaneously great artistry, design, and order; and confusion, chaos and dissonance. Daal's music has also always had the same duality, being both beauty and beast chasing itself through complex patterns that beguile and bewilder in equal measure. Without ever really sounding like either, there is surely a good deal of influence from Pink Floyd and King Crimson, and for added colour, perhaps a little Tangerine Dream. I could probably draw a list of A to Z of artists I'm reminded of – or, at least Art Zoyd to Zappa. But Daal really do sound like no other band, and for that I'm glad as I doubt I'd keep coming back to them otherwise. The biggest attraction for me has always been the drums and percussion of Davide Guidoni. I hate to play favourites, because Alfio Costa is as essential to Daal as Davide (or otherwise it would be only Da), but I can only be honest. The rhythm section (either the drums, bass, or both) is invariably where I'm most drawn to in any music. And Davide is cooking up a storm from the very first track. (Yes, I've taken a very circuitous route to arrive here at the opening number, but such is the nature of a labyrinth.)
Throughout history the labyrinth has been a symbol of journeys, so it makes sense that Daedalus begins with a Journey Through the Spiral Mind, or, at least, the first part of it. It begins with a noise I can't help but think sounds similar to that you hear when you put a shell to your ear, invoking both the navel shell of Daal's past, and the labyrinth of the human body, found in the inner ear. Eerie string sounds come in atop a more melodic keyboard line – beauty and, if not the beast, something potentially sinister in the shadows. Then the drums, those glorious drums. All the while, regardless of what anything else is playing, that simple melodic keyboard line draws you in and on, on and in, spiralling gently but assuredly, and keeping order amidst the surrounding chaos. Sometimes, but never quite, drowned out, that constant melody is our Ariadne's thread, keeping us safe as we journey deeper into our own spiral mind. At university, in one of the psychology papers I took, we were taught about the Minotaur as a metaphor for internal struggles, so as the tension in the track is ratcheted up, and as the sense of running from something – something unseen, but nevertheless malevolent – it seems as appropriate as it is palpable. Then have we reached the eye of the storm, as everything suddenly feels safe and gentle, with a beautifully Floydian passage? Of course, just as with the eye of the storm, once one reaches the centre of a labyrinth (even a metaphorical one inside ourself), there is still a need to find a way out again.
Before we continue that journey, though, are a couple of tracks that suggest they are about the mythological son of Daedalus, Icarus (two plus two equals four). Yet Icarus is an interactive web server for RNA analysis, and Ikaros is a DNA binding protein (two plus two equals five). Painting Wings could so easily refer to the studies of butterfly genes, where scientists have literally painted their wings, after isolating and switching on and off the genes responsible for the wings' colour variations. Before we're Painting Wings, however, Icarus Dream[s], and it seems his is a particularly violent dream, with much thrashing about. Again, there is an easing, but with no part two later on, this gentle lull soon turns more sinister, though never reaching the earlier torment. Painting Wings is then beautifully airy and ethereal to begin with, before becoming heavier. A wonderful pairing of tracks, followed by a number which is a pairing of tracks in itself! If Labyrinth 66 is not named for the artwork by Mark Wallinger, the artist behind the installation of 270 labyrinths adorning the London Underground stations, then it is a marvellous instance of serendipity.
As mentioned earlier, labyrinths have long been a symbol of journeys, and for Wallinger they were an appropriate metaphor for the daily journey commuters embark upon while traveling on the Underground, Labyrinth 66, the artwork, can be found at The Elephant and Castle station, so perhaps the two parts of Labyrinth 66 are somewhat reflective of the double barrelled place name? Or perhaps they are indicative of the two locations often assumed to be possibilities for the location of Daedalus's Labyrinth? The gateway to the Labyrinth, depending on which tourist trap you're visiting, is said to be either in the basement of the palace at Knossos, or in the cave system nearby. (Whichever one you choose, it is still Underground.) It's easy to hear the Elephant in the first part of Labyrinth, with its slow and heavy, plodding sound. Though it's also like hearing one's own heartbeat in great whooshy waves, or perhaps echoes of the navel shell of living origami. The pace picks up for the second part, and it could easily be mistaken for a different piece. The Castle? The Palace of Knossos? It certainly sounds regal and majestic. The two contrasting halves abut each other as perfectly as did the two previous pieces of music.
After the shortest of the tracks that make up this album ("short", but sweet!), we are back in the spiral mind for part two of our journey. As expected, once we leave the more peaceful centre of the labyrinth, it's not so quiet. But what I didn't expect was to hear the closing theme of the first part reprised in a more strident and fashion. It takes the quiet meditative passage and turns it into something jubilant and celebratory – before it all falls away, and we are off and running again, to find our way out of the spiral mind, picking up Ariadne's thread on the way out. The two parts of Journey Through the Sprial Mind perfectly bookend the album, but there are three bonus tracks on the physical release – including the Minotaur for those who were wondering where it had got to. All three bonus tracks are as good as any on the album proper, making the CD well worth purchasing, if you can still find a copy. I don't think Daedalus is my favourite Daal album, but it's definitely top three, and given the consistent high quality of their releases, that's high praise indeed.

Though this has little to do with motorcycling, yet I wanted to share. I found this article for the woman rider, not only incredibly amusing but rather parallel to the issues women have faced with regard to motorcycling.
It's an article which appeared in 1895, June 21st in the "Newark Sunday Advocate". It was considered a rather alarming story at the time—syndicated from New York World —about a recent gathering of the Unique Cycling Club of Chicago. The event which told the tale of two lady riders publicly punished/shamed for having the nerve to turn up wearing short skirts- over their bloomers!
Many of the don'ts are outrageous. You'll certainly laugh aloud as I did! It's astonishing how women of that era were to behave.
Thank goodness, times have changed. But sadly, in far too many countries we're still peddling up hill- so to speak on women's issues for equality and freedom.
Don't allow dear little Fido to accompany you.

SURFsara, partner in ELIXIR-NL, has developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) of an ELIXIR supportdesk based on its national servicedesk model. The supportdesk assists users in ELIXIR ID and service registration using the ELIXIR AAI (Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure). It is now ready to be further applied within ELIXIR's European research infrastructure for life sciences.
The national servicedesk consists of a helpdesk for user support (email, phone, ticket portal) and a service portal with registration & enrolment templates and documentation. The helpdesk uses a federated model, coordinating user support centrally and referring to expert desks at research institutes throughout the Netherlands. The national servicedesk model has been developed and is operational for TraIT services in data management and analytics. Currently, SURF is exploring the possibilities to implement the model in other research service applications such as ELIXIR.
ELIXIR is a research infrastructure that brings together life science resources from across Europe. These resources include databases, software tools, training materials, cloud storage, and supercomputers. This infrastructure makes it easier for scientists to find and share data, exchange expertise, and agree on best practices. Ultimately, it will help them gain new insights into how living organisms work. ELIXIR's AAI helps service providers decide who can be trusted with access to their services. In addition, it enables life scientists to use all ELIXIR services with their regular institutional login. The Dutch node in ELIXIR is coordinated by DTL and SURFsara is a partner in ELIXIR-NL, developing IT infrastructure components for ELIXIR. Together with its European partners, ELIXIR-NL is developing an ELIXIR supportdesk for support on ELIXIR services.
• ELIXIR users are able to log in to the supportdesk using their ELIXIR account.
• Anyone can request help with their ELIXIR ID registration.
• Supportdesk users can track progress on their requests through an ELIXIR-customised ticketing portal.
Since many partners are involved in ELIXIR, there are high demands on the organisation of the supportdesk for this research service application. The ELIXIR ID registration using an institutional account involves national organisations each with their own servicedesks (such as SURFnet) and identity providers at hundreds of institutes connected to ELIXIR that need to approve the ELIXIR connection. The ELIXIR AAI infrastructure is developed and supported by the Tsjech Republic. Using the national servicedesk model, support requests are easily registered and referred to support partners in second line.
The proof of concept was successful and provides a model to be used for support on additional ELIXIR services. Outside of the Compute platform in ELIXIR, there has so far been little attention to professional support of the delivered services. Some other platforms could already benefit from this approach, e.g., the e-learning & training portals of the Training platform. This PoC support service is available for pilots.
This work is financed through the ELIXIR Excelerate project, SURF innovation project Community Services, and TraIT/BBMRI. For more information and collaboration, please contact Ruud Ross.


The classes in NOTUVY Utilities (notuvyutil) are a framework for simple creation of standalone Java applications, along with a few general purpose utilities.
A framework for accessing the system clipboard.
Create a file with the given name if no previous file exists. Otherwise, create a number version of the name with the given base.
Utilities to simplify the building of GUI (Swing) interfaces.
Various network-based (HTTP, FTP, etc) utilities.
Utility to parse and create RSS podcasts.
A framework to ensure singleton launching of applications.
Principally the SgmlTag class which allows the construction of HTML output via an object model.
A small and very simplified way to bind Java beans to XML. The class SimpleJdom is the base implementation and PersistentJdom extends it to allow the bean to be backed by a file on the file system.
Other Java to XML implementation are available which are complete, powerful, and detailed. This is instead intended to be simple and small so implementations can be quick and easy for applications that do not need a complex solution.
An object holding an integer value that can be incremented/decremented.
Representation of a numeric real value in the range [0, 1].
Detect when a period of inactivity has taken place in the Swing UI, and trigger an action when that happens.
Return system time, but allow unit test logic to configure it to return a fixed time value.
Hold a reference to any type of object (using generics). One purpose is to allow indirect refernece to the value. The other purpose is to use the Observer pattern to allow decoupled entities to react to changes in value.
This is an Observer of a ValueHolder, which defines how to react to value changes.

It is not a hidden fact that the Misener family is very close. Even living in a 30 foot camper for half of the year, we are definitely a tight knit unit. And that is just the way I like it! Here is some fun pics from around the house. Enjoy!
From my sister's garden back home. I love fresh green beans and so do the girls. I'm surprised the green beans actually make it into the pot for how many we eat snapping them!
Katie and Tim's girls came with us one day to fix a combine. After a long and hot trip, they promptly fell asleep. They woke up quick, though, when we mentioned ice cream! In Sweetwater, Oklahoma at the gas station there is a smoothie/shake maker. It is really neat, I have never seen one before. You take the pre-mixed smoothie or shake out of the freezer, stick it in the machine, wait 30 seconds and whoo hoo! You have got one great and super cold smoothie. Great for a hot day! it's f'real!


This fantasy inventory portfolio from tracks lots of data that can be utilized in an academic setting. Stocks (also known as stock or share) are a part of the capital stock of an organization. As with many merchandise, having everything centralized and interconnected is handy and makes issues run smoothly, but it surely's additionally onerous for others to compete in a market more and more dominated by one entity.

Nikolaj Jefimojevitsj Andrianov (Russisch: Николай Ефимович Андрианов) (Vladimir, 14 oktober 1952 – aldaar, 21 maart 2011) was een Russisch gymnast. Met vijftien medailles was hij tot de Olympische Zomerspelen 2008 qua aantal plakken de meest succesvolle mannelijke deelnemer aan Olympische Spelen. Op de ranglijst van meest gelauwerde olympische medaillewinnaars staat hij derde, achter Michael Phelps (achtentwintig medailles) en Larissa Latynina (achttien medailles).

Sportcarrière
Andrianov volgde zijn turnopleiding in de Boerevestnik sportgemeenschap. Hij haalde zijn eerste internationale succes in 1971, toen hij twee gouden medailles won op de Europese kampioenschappen in Madrid.

Tijdens de Olympische Zomerspelen 1972 in München won hij drie medailles: goud op vloer, zilver met de landenploeg en brons op sprong. Vier jaar later, tijdens de Spelen in Montreal, was hij de meest succesvolle deelnemer. Hij won viermaal goud: de meerkamp-individueel, de grondoefening, aan de ringen en bij de sprong. Hij haalde verder nog zilver op de meerkamp voor teams en de brug, en brons bij de voltige.

Andrianov mocht vervolgens tijdens de openingsceremonie van de Olympische Zomerspelen 1980 in Moskou de olympische eed afleggen. Hij won tijdens de Spelen in zijn land nog vijf medailles: goud met de landenploeg en op sprong, zilver in de meerkamp-individueel en de grondoefening en brons aan de rekstok.

Verder won Adrianov vier wereld- en negen Europese titels. Later werd hij turncoach in zijn geboortestad. In 2010 werd hij getroffen door multisysteematrofie, waaraan hij een jaar later overleed.
