The EntityStateSharedResourceTypeType complex type defines the different values that are valid for the type entity of a shared resource state. Note that the Windows API returns a DWORD value and OVAL uses the constant name that is normally defined for these return values. This is done to increase readability and maintainability of OVAL Definitions. The empty string is also allowed as a valid value to support an empty element that is found when a variable reference is used within the type entity. Note that when using pattern matches and variables care must be taken to ensure that the regular expression and variable values align with the enumerated values.
It is also important to note that special shared resources are those reserved for remote administration, interprocess communication, and administrative shares.
The STYPE_SPECIAL type means that this is a special share reserved for interprocess communication (IPC$) or remote administration of the server (ADMIN$). Can also refer to administrative shares such as C$, D$, E$, and so forth. The DWORD value that this corresponds to is 0x40000000.
Reason: In version 5.6 of the OVAL Language, the EntityStateSharedResourceTypeType was changed to include all of the different shared resource types as specified in Microsoft's documentation of the shi2_type member of the SHARE_INFO_2 structure. As a result, the STYPE_SPECIAL value by itself is no longer valid because it would actually be equal to the value STYPE_DISKTREE_SPECIAL (0x80000000) which is STYPE_DISKTREE (0x00000000) OR'd with STYPE_SPECIAL (0x80000000).
The STYPE_TEMPORARY type means that the shared resource is a temporary share. The DWORD value that this corresponds to is 0x80000000.

PLDT, Smart select Nokia's WING for breakthrough IoT services
Smart IoT Platform will be the first of its kind for PH enterprises
IoT • Oct 22, 2020
First IoT offer for enterprises in the Philippines
Manila, Philippines [ 21 October 2020 ] - PLDT Inc., through PLDT Enterprise and its Wireless arm Smart Communications. Inc., is in an advanced stage of discussion with long-time partner Nokia to provide next generation Internet of Things (IoT) services for its customers. Together, Smart and Nokia intend to build the "Smart IoT Platform" - the first of its kind for enterprises in the Philippines. This platform aims to help businesses easily deploy IoT services and solutions to manage their connected devices for growth opportunities in the future.
"IoT is a technological revolution with immense potential in improving the way we do things, and we are finalizing a partnership with Nokia to fortify our initiatives in this space. With Smart's proven robust network and Nokia's Global IoT ecosystem, this strategic partnership aims to simplify IoT deployment at scale," said Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT President & CEO and SVP & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups. "Our aim is to further complement PLDT Enterprise's already extensive solutions portfolio with the launch of this platform."
With its newfound capability, PLDT Enterprise intends to scale its current LTE based IoT offerings. This platform will also enable their customers, to explore and deploy 5G based IoT solutions, on Smart's 5G network — which is on a virtualized core network, and deployed on a software-defined transport network, launched earlier this year. This IoT initiative is part of PLDT's strategy in building a complete 5G ecosystem.
This enables PLDT to deliver the next generation digital services like Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhancing the IoT solutions, at a faster and more cost-effective manner. Now, with the platform being available for 5G IoT use cases, customers can opt for different combinations of ultra-low latency, high security, and enhanced throughput based services—fortifying the group's commitment to provide critical public services, real-time industrial monitoring and control, as well as remote healthcare.
Given this, the group aims for the public sector, as well as the transport & logistics, manufacturing, utilities, and retail industries to be among principal beneficiaries of the platform. These IoT solutions will be fully ready by 2021 but PLDT is already in discussions with enterprise clients that intend to utilize IoT technology for their operations.
The platform is set to be powered by Nokia's Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING). This simplifies the expansion of current LTE based IoT to 5G based IoT solutions, providing mission critical services. The 5G ultra-low latency services are enabled by separating and extending the user plane functions (UPF) to the far network edge or enterprise premises. Such capability, of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) technology, provides the support for real time, compute-intensive IoT services, such as AR/VR based maintenance.
Further, the PLDT Group's roll-out of 5G SA (Standalone) will enable their customers to leverage WING's cloud native architecture—effectively laying the groundwork for network slicing and providing them with more comprehensive 5G based IoT use cases.
"I look forward to seeing our Enterprise customers, utilizing this platform, to expand their deployment of IoT solutions and services, easily, on our LTE and 5G networks." said Joachim Horn, Smart Next Generation Technology Solutions Advisor. "This will also be a catalyst for the Philippines manufacturing industry, to embrace IR4.0."
PLDT Enterprise and Nokia executives will introduce the Smart IoT Platform in time for the PLDT group's upcoming Philippine Digital Convention (PH Digicon) 2020 on October 28-30, the first all-virtual event featuring key technology industry leaders with more than 10,000 expected global attendees.

> Why Women Kill - Ginnifer Goodwin interview
Why Women Kill - Ginnifer Goodwin interview
Ginnifer Goodwin plays Beth Ann Stanton, a subservient wife living in the 1960s.
How would you describe Why Women Kill?
Why Women Kill is the story of three women living in the same house, but in three different eras. Each of these women is navigating infidelity in their marriages in different ways, which are defined by the time period in which we live. Our boundaries and obstacles are all very era-specific. This has been one of the greatest creative experiences of my life. [Why Women Kill creator and executive producer] Marc Cherry is a genius.
How do the women deal with infidelity differently in each era?
As a show, we are saying that the emotional lives of our characters are consistent and not era-specific; that their needs are not era-specific, but their opportunities are definitely limited by the time period in which they live. Whether that is a universal truth or not, I certainly believe it. I imagine the stakes would be very different for someone like my character, Beth Ann, in the 1960s to someone from today. Beth Ann was traumatised by something in the 1950s, so her growth was stunted. You'll learn about this over the course of the series. In that sense, you could say that Beth Ann is the perfect 1950s housewife living in 1963. She was raised to believe that her only opportunity in life was to take care of a wealthy man and to hope that he would always provide for her. No matter what he may do to her, that is her survival mechanism. To me, the stakes appear to have been higher back then because of all of the boundaries and limitations. For example, Beth Ann would not have had another source of income, apart from her husband. She didn't have any skills or talents or education or outlets. She was completely dependent upon this man - but it's interesting to watch the story in the 1980s and the present day to see how that differs. It's also interesting to look at why these women in the later eras choose to stay in their relationships given the fact that they have more opportunities and more outlets and more options for leaving. That's something we explore as the series goes on.
What have we lost from the 1960s that would help us today?
As a cast, we were told that we all handled our down-time on set very differently, which is hilariously definitive. Apparently, those of us who are representing the 1960s were unintentionally found sitting in our chairs reading books in our down-time. I would be knitting, crocheting and doing crossword puzzles, or reading plays. Sam [Jaegar, who plays Beth Ann's husband Rob Stanton] was always buried in a book and our supporting actors would do similar things. Apparently, the 1980s cast would sit on their cell phones and the 2019 team were always sitting on their laptops. It's fascinating, but it made me think a lot about how communication was so different back then. A lot of my scenes involved going into the middle of the street to find a neighbour and we discover that a lot more time was spent on very simple tasks. I think we have lost a sense of presence and awareness about the world today. We don't make eye contact today because of what's happened in the world of communication. We probably find it very novel to go outside and have conversation with a neighbour right now. It rarely happens.
What can you tease about the murder storyline in the show?
We are going to mislead you about who gets killed and why - but once you get to the end of the season, you will see the breadcrumb trail that we left you from the very first episode. At the end, everything will fall into place. You will keep getting pieces of the puzzle as the story progresses, but I don't think the audience will get ahead of it because life is too complicated for that. Once everything falls into place, you'll see that we have been giving you the truths the whole time - or the truths as soon as the characters know about them. This is a free-standing 10-hour movie. You will get answers to your questions.
Is there any interaction between the three women in each era?
No. On set, we were often ships passing in the night. I didn't get to see my co-stars much, which was due to the way things were scheduled. We'd shoot the 1960s one day and then shoot the 1980s the next day, so it had been the dreamiest schedule for a mother like me. Occasionally, there would be a day where all of us would be on set to shoot different exterior scenes at the house - but that was rare. Those days would be very trippy for me because I had been exclusively living in this heightened, theatrical and very stylised world of the 1960s, but then they would switch out all the cars and the 80s would be there. And then they would switch it out again and it would be 2019.
Marc Cherry is famous for creating female-led shows, such as Desperate Housewives. What DNA from his other shows will we see in Why Women Kill?
We're all bringing a little of our favourite beloved characters and series to Why Women Kill. I was a big Desperate Housewives fan and I can clearly feel the Marc Cherry-ness of the show. At the same time, I feel like he's been able to spread his wings in a new way with Why Women Kill. I think the scripts are really well written. While everything is stylised and theatrical, Marc's done a very good job of making these characters grayer and grayer and grayer as the series goes on. They become messier and messier and messier, and therefore they are more realistic and more relatable. I think we're going to give you a false sense of security with Why Women Kill and then we will really drop you on your butts. It's going to be an incredible ride.
What do you think of Marc Cherry's work?
To be honest, I am shocked at how prolifically he writes well-developed and complicated women. He is able to understand the way we think in a way that I find to be un-paralleled. He is a genius. I am utterly in awe of him. He seems to understand female relationships with other females, but that is seemingly impossible because he's not a woman surrounded by female friends. He shows all of the different ways in which women love each other in a really gorgeous light. I can't think of another example of a writer who is able to do that.
What research did you tackle in terms of finding the mannerisms and speech patterns of a character from the 1960s?
I don't know if it's because I come from drama school and the theatre, but I am far more comfortable in this setting than other eras. I feel like I have to work a different muscle when I'm playing someone modern. I'm good with limitations. I like being put in a box and then having to figure out how to rage against it and get out. That's a challenge that I really thrive on, which we don't have in modern settings in the same way.
Which of the three eras of the show would you most like to live in?
I am a very nostalgic person. I always felt like I was meant to live in another era, but it would probably be before the 1960s. I love the fact that I was able to step into the 1960s every day for five months, but I was also very happy to take off Beth Ann at the end of the day. I was very happy to go home to my family, where I feel like I'm on an equal footing with my husband. At home, we co-parent in every way. We are both very hard workers. We both have opportunities to be individuals and we don't use each other to define ourselves. At the end of the day, I am really happy to be a modern woman.
How much of your character's homemaking skills do you possess?
I am a little bit crafty and I love to cook, but I am not a Suzy Homemaker. I love playing Suzy Homemakers - but in real life, I will choose to make a roast dinner or I will choose to use a slow cooker over anything complicated. When I think about raising my children, I think a lot about the memories that I'm going to leave them with, which is why the adventures we go on throughout the day are very important to me. I also think the fact that we have home-cooked meals is very important because I think that feeding is an expression of love. Plus, I love having that time with them sitting at the dinner table. It's important to me that I know where their food came from and that they are getting what they need. That's part of how I love them. I understand that part of caretaking, for sure. I am a homebody, but I could not make my life about serving in the way that Beth Ann does in the 1960s. No way. That's not me.

Amfac faces $67,000 in finesfor hazardous waste violations
Wednesday, May 17, 2000, 12 a.m.
KEKAHA — Amfac/JMB Hawai'i faces penalties of over $67,000 for hazardous waste
violations at the company's former Kekaha Sugar operation.
Earlier this
year, state Department of Health officials discovered a 1,000-gallon tank
two-thirds full of creosote at the Kekaha Sugar herbicide mixing plant, and
cited Amfac/JMB Hawai'i for storage of hazardous waste without a permit and
failure to determine that hazardous waste was on the site.
Several other
unlabeled 55-gallon drums were also found at the site, the DOH
Creosote, a known carcinogen and a regulated hazardous waste, was
used at the plant as part of its wood-preserving operation. One Amfac Sugar
Kaua'i worker said the operation had not been used for over 20 years.
DOH filed a complaint and order against Amfac/JMB Hawai'i (Kekaha Sugar
Company, Limited) for the violations of the state's hazardous waste rules.
The company has 20 days to respond to the order. Company officials were
unavailable for comment yesterday.
In addition to paying the penalty,
Amfac/JMB Hawai'i has been ordered to clean up the site and comply with state
hazardous waste rules for the cited violations.
Addressing this hazardous
waste violation will be part of a number of major cleanup efforts Amfac/JMB
Hawai'i is presently undertaking at Kekaha Sugar and other plantation sites on
Kaua'i and Maui, the DOH stated.

For the next few months, the first Wednesday of the month will be dedicated to musical theatre and how it got to be what it is today — and what that means for kids, and for those of us who are interested in getting kids involved in the performing arts.
Last month, we looked at the early beginnings of musical theatre, focusing on the progression from opera to operetta/comic opera to vaudeville and music hall. This month, we're moving into the 1920s and 1930s, where the ever-evolving stage musical moved several more dance steps toward the form we know today.
There was a lot of singing and dancing going on as the teens turned into the twenties (19teens to 1920s, that is). The famous impresario, Florenz Ziegfield, and his equally famous Follies (a new show each year) brought people in droves to see his grand productions featuring multitudes of chorus girls in amazing costumes doing elaborately choreographed dance routines, as well as to hear the famous singers and comedians who filled out the program.
The Follies inspired the next stage in the development of the "Great American Musical" — the Revue. (Hey! That's us!) According to the huge book, Broadway: The American Musical (companion volume to the six-part PBS series), about 120 revues opened on Broadway in the 1920s. Revues, like vaudeville and the Follies, combined a little of this and a little of that, song, dance, drama, but again, they were a step up from what had gone before.
Many of the revues on Broadway in the '20s were definitely adult entertainment, but a few, like the Garrick Gaieties, put an "emphasis on youth, wit, and parodies of contemporary shows." (quoting the Broadway book mentioned above). This revue gave the lyricist/composer duo of Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers their start — later, they would go on to write some of the best loved Broadway musicals of all time.
Gradually the shows began to develop more of a plot line, and become more like the musicals we know today. In the 1930s, more opportunities for women to be more than just "showgirls" was an empowering step. Another group that found empowerment, or at least the beginnings of it, were African Americans.
Broadway was moving towards the musical as we know it. Next month in this series — Rodgers, Hart, Hammerstein and others bring the musical to new heights. See you back on stage for Musicals: Part 3!
Great post Ms. Starborn! 😀 I like it a lot!


Some more quality time with the Wii has solidified my impressions from last week: game developers are going to have to stretch a bit, because traditional games don't seem to work too well on the Wii. Or rather, the Wii — in terms of graphics and controls — doesn't seem made for traditional games.
I already wrote about Call of Duty 3 not working well with the Wii controller, mostly because it's impossible to hold the remote still so the screen is constantly moving, if only slightly at times. I'll also add button-mashing beat-em-ups to the list of genres probably not meant for Wii.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is Activision's latest Marvel game (following two X-Men Legends titles), and it's some mindless fun on the Xbox 360 (I'll be testing out the PlayStation 3 version this weekend, but I assume it's similar). There's a seemingly endless list of Marvel characters you can use, which is cool even though they all do pretty much the same thing. The graphics are nice, at least until the first boss (a blocky flying dragon that, relative to the rest of the game, looks like it's from a PlayStation 1 game). But on the Wii, the game is terrible. You can use the buttons to attack and jump, but the moves have also been mapped to the remote. If you want to use the remote control scheme, though, you'll spend the whole time just flailing around and hurting your wrist. There's no good reason for the remote use; the moves don't really correspond to your motions, so it's just arbitrary motions for the sake of it. To do the main attack, for example, you either press the A button or shake the controller. Boring! And repetitive-stress inducing. Also the graphics aren't very good. Smoke completely blocks the view of what's going on at times, and the whole palette seems muted so everything kind of runs together.
I'm sure a good action game could find a better way to use the Wii remote, but the motion-sensing doesn't seem precise enough to make it worthwhile. There wouldn't be any way to replicate God of War's awesome moves and combos with the Wiimote, and anyway your hand would hurt for days afterward.
The lack of precision is also making me skeptical of racing games on the Wii. Or certain kinds of racing games. I haven't played Excite Truck yet, but I have decidedly mixed feelings about Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. In general I dig the change from the other Tony Hawk games. Instead of the open world, find-a-bunch-of-tasks-and-trials game of Tony Hawk's Project 8 and all the earlier ones, Downhill Jam is like a snowboarding game with skateboards: Relatively short tracks that all go one way — down — and you have to pull off certain times or scores along the way. It's quick, not nearly as complicated, and pretty fun.
To control your skater, you hold the remote on its side like a traditional controller and twist it right or left to make the character turn. This only partly works. On straightaways and gradual curves it's fine, but on tight turns it barely works at all. The sensor isn't precise enough to make quick turns the way a joystick can. And because the game moves so fast and it's hard to see far ahead, you often have to make sharp moves. That too often ends up with the skater going in the wrong direction, and the remote is nearly useless in turning you around then. This is an especially frustrating problem in multiplayer games. The screen is split into four sections, so it's already hard to tell what's happening because of the speed and smallness. That makes it far too easy to get turned around. And because it's impossible to turn back in the right direction, multiplayer games can end too quickly if you turn around — the game seems to randomly choose between a regular race and one where the time is running out and you have to maneuver to hit blue "gates" to keep adding time, so if you get turned around on those boards you're screwed.
It's possible Activision just didn't do a good job with these Wii games (Call of Duty, Marvel, and Tony Hawk are all by Activision), but they don't feel rushed to me. They just don't seem to be the right kind of game for the Wii. Of course not every quirky mini-game-extravaganza game will work either. I tried Super Monkey Ball briefly, and the few games I tried were lame. The on-screen instructions don't explain the mini-games very well, and three of the four I tried didn't control well, if we could figure out what to do at all.


This next story is truly remarkable. Steve Harvey is about to meet Antonio - who has an extraordinary story of his tragedy turning into triumph while realizing his God-given talent in the process.
24 years ago, Antonio was shot and paralyzed. Back then, Antonio had to relearn how to do simple tasks differently due to his paralysis - one of which was painting.
Since he couldn't paint well with his hands, an occupational therapist recommended using his mouth.
Today, Antonio gives back to his community by mentors kids and inspire creativity.
"I want to open up an Art Gallery so that all people can come and be inspired," says Antonio.
"I work with kids of all ages. Highland Park and the children's Richard J. Daly College saw my paintings and asked for me to help the kids. They never seen so many children interested in paintings. It's more the power of the healing arts and the cultural connection."
To help get Antonio started, Steve Harvey partnered up with Bluprint, the site that helps creative people make their ideas a reality. Like Antonio, they believe in the power of creativity to change peoples lives. To support Antonio's mission they're giving him $10,000.

Palm Beach – WHAT IS JAMES WEARING?
James Andrew – the Colony Palm Beach.
The Colony Palm Beach is the next best thing to having a home in Palm Beach! From the well situated Colony it's an easy thing to indulge in all that Palm Beach has to offer. Of course, with the Colony's delicious culinary offerings, Polo Bar, and nightly Royal Room cabaret, it's really more than tempting to simply stay put!
Breakfast served poolside is such a treat, and when you're there, do try the "low country shrimp and grits" and/or the the shrimp and avocado omelette — it's all so very Duchess of Windsor. We spent pretty much every day lounging and lunching with friends — only leaving the Colony's confines to soak in some sun in the afternoon at the nearby beach before returning for cocktail hour and the evening's festivities. We were lucky enough to be there for the infamous Thursday "Boys Night" which is as you may have surmised, an opportunity for local and visiting guys and their pals to congregate — we ourselves celebrated the night under the stars with bottles of rosé, though inexplicably most remained indoors. If you are anything like me, when you're in the tropics, you want to be, well…in the tropics!
I'm photographed (top) poolside at the Colony dressed for dinner and "Boys Night" in a Tom Ford palest blue silk dinner jacket (worn casual), Tom Ford white cotton twill pants, white cotton shirt, and ivory suede loafers, Mark Pomerantz blue and white floral silk pocket square, Le Noeud Papillion purple and pale blue glen plaid silk ascot worn as scarf, Seaman Schepps pearl and pale blue sapphire cuff links, Paul Stuart blue and white ribbon belt, Creed Windsor fragrance, and a bit of Tom Ford Bronzing Gel to enhance my tan.
One of my primary requirements of a hotel is that it capture the essence of its surrounds, and when we read that Carleton Varney's criterion regarding the re-imagining of the Colony Palm Beach was that "people on vacation in Palm Beach should feel like they're staying in Palm Beach," we knew that the Colony would be perfect!
Varney's mentor, Dorothy Draper, was fearless in her use of color, and imbued all of her work with tremendous personality. Carrying on this tradition, Varney has certainly given his decoration for the Colony loads of Palm Beach personality! Throughout the hotel, Varney's "Draperization" includes a marvelous mix of Dorothy Draper fabrics and wallpapers. He utilizes a custom designed carpet based on the Brazilliance pattern (a beautiful and exuberant banana leaf motif) combined with fretwork and striped wallpapers, each floor with a different color scheme.
The luxurious lobby revolves around a central seating area, with a custom designed hibiscus and banana leaf motif carpet set against a dramatic black backdrop, providing the perfect contrast for a monumental curved sofa upholstered in aqua velvet with black bullion fringe. The armchairs are upholstered in "Brazilliance" fabric, and the walls are sheathed in Jasper Peony wallpaper by Sebastian Varney of Carleton V Ltd. in a coral colorway with a complimentary fretwork pattern — accents of coral and aqua throughout. All present and impossibly fresh interpretation of bygone Palm Beach glamor!
Do secure a suite when you go. Having both a sitting room and a bedroom made all the difference in the world!
I'm photographed (top) in the lovely lobby soaking up endless inspiration. I'm sporting a Tom Ford "Snowdon" suit in a lilac rose silk wool melange twill and royal silk dot pocket square, a bespoke Mark Pomerantz "Liberty of London" esq lavender and blue floral print cotton shirt with fabric covered buttons, Ralph Lauren royal blue suede espadrilles, vintage Rolex, Tom Ford Bronzing Gel accentuating my tan, and Tom Ford's Mandarino Di Amalfi fragrance with notes of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Grapefruit, Mint, Thyme. Luminous!

Prison for Yonkers man in fatal drunken-driving crash in Manhattan
By Shayna Jacobs
Aftermath of deadly collision at 34th St. and Third Ave. on July 19, 2017. (Vic Nicastro for New York Daily News)
A Yonkers man was sentenced to prison Monday for killing the passenger in his car when, driving while intoxicated last year, he slammed into a tractor-trailer in Manhattan and caused a multicar pileup.
Antonios Sikolas, 26, previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter in exchange for five to 15 years behind bars for causing the deadly collision at 34th St. and Third Ave. on July 19, 2017, at about 2:30 a.m.
His sentence was handed down in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.
Sikolas had a suspended license when he got behind the wheel of his Honda Civic with 37-year-old Columbia University graduate student Ryota Funakoshi in the passenger seat beside him.
He was driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.14, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08. He was driving 71 mph and barreled through 11 red lights before he collided with the massive truck, prosecutors said.

Dovera (Duéra in dialetto cremasco) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Cremona in Lombardia.

Storia
La fondazione di Dovera risale all'epoca romana. All'epoca era un piccolo borgo agricolo chiamato Dovaria che era attraversato da un'importante strada romana, la via Regina, che collegava Cremona con Mediolanum.

Dovera appartenne da sempre alla Gera d'Adda milanese. Il limitrofo centro abitato di Roncadello, oggi frazione, apparteneva invece al Contado di Lodi. Dovera appartenne alla provincia di Lodi dal 1786 al 1791.

In età napoleonica (1810) al comune di Dovera fu aggregata Roncadello, ridivenuta autonoma con la costituzione del Regno Lombardo-Veneto (1815). Contemporaneamente, entrambi i centri furono inseriti nel distretto di Pandino della provincia di Lodi e Crema.

Con l'Unità d'Italia i comuni di Dovera e Roncadello furono inseriti nel circondario di Crema della provincia di Cremona. Nel 1868 il comune di Roncadello fu aggregato definitivamente a Dovera.

Simboli
Lo stemma e il gonfalone sono stati concessi con decreto del presidente della Repubblica del 25 marzo 1998.

Il galero prelatizio di nero, tradizionale insegna arcipretale, è un riferimento alla chiesa madre fondata nella frazione di Postino; la stella d'oro in campo azzurro ricorda l'apparizione della Madonna ad una fanciulla di Dovera, il 14 maggio 1386, in onore della quale venne eretto il santuario della Beata Vergine del Pilastrello; i tre elmi in campo rosso sono ripresi dal blasone dei conti Barni (di rosso, alla fascia diminuita d'argento, accompagnata da tre elmi, due nel capo e uno nella punta, posti di profilo e graticolati dello stesso, e bordati d'oro).

Il gonfalone è un drappo di azzurro.

Geografia antropica
Il territorio comunale comprende, oltre al capoluogo, le frazioni di Barbuzzera, Postino, Roncadello e San Rocco.

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Strade
Il centro abitato è attraversato dalla strada statale 472 Bergamina, che unisce Treviglio a Lodi, ed è punto di origine di una strada provinciale che conduce a Crespiatica passando per la frazione di Postino.

Vi sono poi alcune strade minori, di importanza locale, dirette ai centri limitrofi.

La parte nord del territorio comunale, ai confini con Pandino, è lambita dalla strada statale 415 Paullese.

Tranvie
Dal 1880 al 1920 Dovera era servita da una stazione della tranvia interurbana a vapore Lodi-Bergamo, che correva lungo la strada Bergamina.

~ Signs From The 2018 Women's March That Made Us Go "What She Said"


Fourteen restaurants will participate in the fourth annual Memphis Black Restaurant Week, which runs March 3-9.
Daniels is the founder and organizer of this event, which has grown from eight participating restaurants in the first year to 14 restaurants in 2019.
The fourth annual Memphis Black Restaurant Week starts Sunday and runs through March 9. This year's list of restaurants is eclectic and diverse in menu offerings and parts of town. The common denominator is that they all are minority-owned establishments.
Each participating restaurant will offer a special — or, in most cases, several specials — for the week.
Chef Tam's Underground Cafe is one of the featured restaurants this year.
"This is my third year to participate. My first year I was only open two days before the weeklong event," said Tamra Eddy, Chef Tam's owner and chef.
For lunch, Eddy will offer a two-course meal. At dinner, a three-course prix fixe meal will be featured.
And speaking of peach cobbler, on her Memphis Black Restaurant Week dinner menu, Eddy will offer the dish that helped her win Food Network's "Guy's Grocery Games" — Peach Cobbler French Toast with Wings.
Valerie Peavy, owner of The Office @ Uptown, has participated in Memphis Black Restaurant Week every year.
"It's great exposure, and (Daniels') selection shows the breadth and depth of the different culinary offerings in Memphis," Peavy said.
Her best-selling sandwich, the Bluff City Classic Club, will be one of her specials for the week. Peavy's club is piled high with ham, turkey, bacon and cheese. She recommends ordering it with their chipotle mayo.
The Four Way restaurant will participate for the first time this year.
"I had the privilege to meet Cynthia Daniels personally for the first time about six months ago. She extended the offer, and after talking to her, I was so excited," said Patrice Bates Thompson, owner of The Four Way.
In addition to several entree specials, The Four Way will offer a "2 for $20" Memphis Black Restaurant Week special. Guests can choose two selected entrees, two sides and two drinks for $20. The offerings for this deal include The Four Way's famous turkey and dressing, baked chicken and fried wings. For an extra $5, you can substitute its fried catfish.
Memphis Black Restaurant Week participants aren't just in Downtown and Midtown. Daniels made sure to include some East Memphis restaurants.
Richardson does take reservations and suggests calling before heading to The Waffle Iron for Black Restaurant Week. The building had a small fire this week and closed for repairs, but it expects to be open in time for Sunday's kickoff.
Other participants include Bluff City Crab, Sage, Slice of Soul Pizza Lounge, Mr. P's, Robusto by Havana Mix, Ballhoggerz BBQ, Phillip Ashley Chocolates, Big Momma's & Granny's, Downtown Nutrition and the East Memphis location of A&R Barbecue.
The week of dining concludes March 10 with the Soulful Food Truck Festival at Clayborn Temple. The festival is noon-6 p.m. and includes food trucks and live music.
"It's a big family celebration to cap off Memphis Black Restaurant Week," Daniels said.

Intimacy relationships can be learned and practiced, actually must be learned and practiced.
Most of us in the purview of the Disney Studios or the Hefner/Guccione publishing realm have been taught that intimacy happens when the Fairy Godmother waves her magic wand, and then Prince Charming and Cinderella are off to the Caribbean for a vacation before they begin Happily Ever After.
Robert Epstein,Ph.D., would disagree. He has posed some provocative questions about growing intimacy and arranged marriages in India.
He is wondering how come those arranged marriages in India, where the participants may meet once prior to the marriage, manage to stay together 95% of the time, and grow in happiness, while our marriages in the US fail 50% of the time.
And divorce is an option in India. What do those folks do that we don't do?
Epstein suggests that those couples practice intimacy, and he has taken his ideas into his class rooms where students on the first day of class get to try an exercise called soul gazing, which involves pairing up with a class mate and looking deeply into the eyes of your new friend, trying to see their soul.
Participants report a stunning increase in a feeling of closeness after this two minute exercise.
Epstein suggests a number of relationship intimacy building exercises, including heart rate synchronization, which made me leap up a shout, because I have actually done something very similar with clients in my office using a computerized heart rate variability biofeedback program called Heartmath.
Heartmath has grown out of research in another new field of inquiry called neurocardiology, or the study of the heart's own nervous system.
It turns out that the heart has a lot of neurons in it, enough neurons that we can say the heart has its own brain, which can learn and make decisions independently of any other brain I have, and that heart brain is affiliative and cooperative, so when I use the Heartmath program to train a coherent heart beat, which feels really good, then I can operate in relationship from an affiative and cooperative physiology.
The alternative physiology is adrenalin and cortisol based which is designed to help me flee, fight, or run for my life, which does not help me build intimacy.
At any rate, Heartmath can be cued, if one's heart beat ever happens to get incoherent, on demand, so couples can learn how to do Heartmath individually and then actually cue a heart beat of the relationship, just as Professor Epstein suggests.
What I have done with the Heartmath program is to hook couples up to computers, which measure the time between heart beats, ask them to get coherent, and then hold hands.
What emerges on their computer screens is the Heart Beat of the relationship, and couples get a real time experience of how dynamic that heart beat is, and of course, that it exists, and needs to be attended to heart beat by heart beat.
That is possible folks, because if your heart stops beating, do you need to worry about intimacy in your relationship? Please see the Heartmath link in the right column.
Intimacy Relationship and Arranged Marriages?
Can our Western model of science help us to bridge the gap between arranged marriages in the East, and our Disney model so that we have the best of both worlds?
Helen Fisher,Ph.D., has done some very interesting work on the early stages of love, what we call romantic love.
You know, where you are fixated on your lover, write bad poetry, and nothing you do is wrong, for up to three years.
This is the stage that folks in arranged marriages do not get to participate in usually, which could be a good thing, but Professor Fisher has been studying this phenomenon for some 30 years, and her research suggests that we humans fall roughly into four broad personality types, each governed by a different hormone/neurotransmitter combination, and that we have the best chance for chemistry and long term success if we find a compatible personality type to have that chemistry with.
Professor Fisher has provided a personality quiz for you, if you are ready to find out your type, go to the link below. Then if you are curious about meeting a steady stream of eligible and compatible folks, join up, but don't forget Professor Epstein's relationship intimacy exercises.
Can working out together help couples build intimacy?


Boelt, Birte and Gislum, René (2004) What are the limiting factors to seed quality in organic production of grass and clover seed and how to improve yield. In: Lammerts van Bueren, Edith; Ranganathan, Radha and Sorensen, Neil (Eds.) Proceedings of the First World Conference on Organic Seed: Challenges and Opportunities for Organic Agriculture and the Seed Industry, pp. 149-153.
In conventional seed production of grasses and clover it is recognised that a low plant density in the seed crop stimulates the reproductive development and hence increase seed yield. Most temperate forage species of grasses and white clover establish slowly and have a relatively poor ground cover, which limits the competition against weeds. In order to optimise quality and yield in organic grass and clover seed production alternative establishment methods have been identified. These methods enhance crop competitiveness against weeds and allow for mechanical weed control.
Establishing the under sown seed crop right between the cereal cover crop row provides a higher ground cover, and the establishment rate of the seed crop is enhanced. This method of establishment is recommended when weed density is low or where the prevailing weeds produce seeds that can be separated from the harvested grass or clover seed. Establishing the under sown seed crop in the cereal row allows for different strategies of mechanical weed control and our results show that perennial ryegrass tolerates a range of strategies of mechanical weed control including up to three harrowings. However, grass and clover species with a low seed weight and/or a slow establishment rate might not establish successfully when sown in the cereal row.
Identifying the optimal establishment technique must take the occurrence of weed species and the weed density into account.

Once the stars are shining in the sky, Emily Elizabeth reads Clifford a bedtime story. Before they know it, the best friends are fast asleep. This sweet padded board book with foil on the cover will be a must have for bedtime.


What is the cost for electron beam crosslinking plastic parts?
How do I know my part has been effectively crosslinked?
When most of our customers come to us, they have a specific property improvement in mind. Clients with a formed part may desire improved high temperature properties or improved tensile strength, while clients looking to improve the properties of polymers in pellet form may desire a specific melt index or melt strength.
