Before you can actually start any project you have to know a little bit about wood and its properties, so you can choose the write wood for what you are going to create.
The two basic categories of wood are hardwood and softwood. There is also manufactured wood like plywood. What you use for any given project depends on various factors: strength, hardness, grain characteristics, cost, stability, weight, color, durability and availability.
Usually beginning woodworkers start out with softwood such as pine. It's soft and easy to work, and you don't need expensive tools to get good results. It is readily available at local lumberyards and home centers. It has it's limitations in furniture making; it is a soft wood and will damage easily.
Softwood is from an evergreen or coniferous (cone-bearing) tree. Common varieties are pine, fir, spruce, hemlock, cedar and redwood. These woods are mostly used in the home construction industry. Cedar and redwood are excellent choices for outdoor projects, while pine is often used for "Early American Country Style" furniture.
You will find that softwoods are sold in standard thickness and widths, for example a 1 X 4 will be 3/4″ thick and 3 1/2″ wide similar to construction materials. The material will usually be priced per lineal foot and the price will increase accordingly for the wider boards.
There are specialty stores that sell wood for scroll sawers and we will look at several of those later. Right now I would pick up some pine and just practice some cuts both with your scroll saw and on your table saw or any other hand saw that you might have picked up. Always use your ear protection, protective eye wear and always follow manufactures safety recommendations.
Tomorrow we look at hardwoods.

If it's ok I would like to feature your blog on the BlogDumps home page?
It really shows how nice a blog can look on BlogDumps Blog Hosting.
if it's ok stop by my blog- Blogdumps blog and let me know.
That would be wonderful!! Who wouldn't want to be featured on a home page? Thanks Wolfbernz.
Softwood, you certainly don't want to use a softwood for outdoor projects, it will not hold up very long. You want to use a hardwood. Waterfront property? Is that ocean front property because then you have to deal with salt air also. If you are doing a large project like a deck, and you do use any softwood… go with a treated wood so it doesn't deteriorate quickly.

AGNES OBEL: MYOPIA
album of the year	by Gordon Rutherford 10th Dec 2020
I first encountered Danish singer/songwriter Agnes Obel following the 2016 release of her dazzling tune, Familiar. It was all minimalist piano, melodic strings (love those cellos) and an incredible combination of voices. A very eventful four years later, Agnes Obel reappeared on my radar..
Released in late-February, Myopia was one of the early 2020 releases, which affords it a slightly different place in my consciousness. It was a commuting album for me, when commuting was still a thing. I recall those dark February mornings, waiting on busy railway platforms for a train that was invariable late whilst being buffeted by the icy north winds. Myopia took me to a different, less mundane, place. It was one of my commuting albums when commuting was cancelled.
My God, it is such a thing of beauty. It is a spectral, fragile, porcelain-like work of art. And now, looking back at the fag-end days of last winter, it is such a fitting soundtrack. It evokes images of misty, glacial places, of long dark nights. You just know that, before long, some of these pieces will end up soundtracking a super-hip Scandi Noir crime drama screened by BBC4. And that's okay.
Obel's gorgeous voice intertwines and blurs with atmospheric strings and beautifully picked piano. The elements blend and mesh perfectly to create a Monet-like landscape. I'm reminded a lot of Kate Bush by Myopia.
In terms of highlights, the album opener, Camera's Rolling is quite magnificent, with it's cascading piano chords and icy synths. Title track, Myopia, is a dream-pop delight. But pride of place goes to the superb, choppy pizzicato of Broken Sleep. Again, that cello.
I'm hoping it's not going to be another four years before another Agnes Obel album emerges. Just as I'm hoping for a less eventful next four years in general terms. And to have the opportunity to listen to music like this on cold, windy railway platforms again.

Q: Top 10 each year I need to write a query to show the number of tracks sold per artist per year for the top 10 best selling artists. Take the overall top 10 for all years.
This is what I have:
SELECT  TOP 10 a.Name, YEAR(i.InvoiceDate), count(t.TrackId)
FROM Artist a
INNER JOIN Album al on a.ArtistId = al.ArtistId
INNER JOIN Track t on al.AlbumId = t.AlbumId
INNER JOIN InvoiceLine il on t.TrackId = il.TrackId
INNER JOIN invoice i on  il.InvoiceId = i.InvoiceId
Group by YEAR(i.InvoiceDate), a.Name
ORDER by  count(t.TrackId) DESC;

I don't only the top 10 of all the tracks sold by on group and not by each year the top 10.

A: You could use the RANK() windowing function to accomplish this
SELECT rs.Name,rs.YearInvoice , rs.Counter
FROM (
    SELECT a.Name, YEAR(i.InvoiceDate) as YearInvoice, Rank()
      over (Partition BY YEAR(i.InvoiceDate)
            ORDER BY count(t.TrackId) DESC ) AS Rank,count(t.TrackId) as Counter
      FROM Artist a
INNER JOIN Album al on a.ArtistId = al.ArtistId
INNER JOIN Track t on al.AlbumId = t.AlbumId
INNER JOIN InvoiceLine il on t.TrackId = il.TrackId
INNER JOIN invoice i on  il.InvoiceId = i.InvoiceId
GROUP BY a.Name,YEAR(i.InvoiceDate)
    ) rs WHERE Rank <= 10
ORDER BY YearInvoice asc, Counter Desc;

POP Serena Van Der Woodsen (Gossip Girl)
Serena Van Der Woodsen
POP action figure of Serena Van Der Woodsen #620
Serena Van Der Woodsen is one of the characters from the hit show Gossip Girl. Played by Blake Lively, the character of Serena is the perfect archetype of the traditional heroine. Indeed, Serena is a kind, gentle young woman who knows how to be attentive to the people she loves. Moreover, Serena's character is the complete opposite of her best friend, or rather best enemy, Blair Wardolf! Considered as a "Hit Girl", Serena Van Der Woodsen is a real starlet of the Upper East Side.
The plot of the series Gossip Girl takes place in New York, more precisely in a Manhattan neighborhood on the Upper East Side. In the renowned private schools of Constance Billard and St. Jude, students are addicted to a gossip blog. Under the pseudonym of "Gossip Girl", the then still anonymous blogger will have fun throughout the series spreading rumors. At the heart of the story, this mysterious editor will unfortunately spill a lot of ink. And above all, she will cause a lot of problems to our main protagonists, including Serena.
The story begins with Serena's unexpected return to New York. After disappearing for a year, she finds herself once again immersed in the very closed world of the Upper East Side. Unfortunately, she quickly realizes that a lot has changed since she left. And her friends, including her best friend Blair Wardolf, don't look too kindly on her return. Between drama and romance, Serena will struggle throughout the series to live her life as she sees fit despite the environment she grew up in. The plot of this character will be punctuated by many romantic relationships.
The Serena Van Der Woodsen POP figure perfectly captures the spirit of the character. Dressed in the famous schoolgirl uniform, the Serena Van Der Woodsen Funko POP has a confident attitude. Very faithful to the character, the Serena Van Der Woodsen POP is prepared to face the ruthless world of the Upper East Side.

Q: Control button behaviour according to change in checkbox of Recyclerview I am having one recycler view with an adapter class. In the single item view there is a checkbox also. In my layout view it contains one button and recycler view mentioned above. When i checks on any check box in the view the button should get activated (Changing the color to active). When nothing is selected on the view button should become in the form of deactivated. How can i possible? Any example? Code is below
public class PlatformAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<PlatformAdapter.ViewHolder> {

ArrayList<Batch> batches;
ArrayList<CourseSlug> courses;
boolean isInstituteStudent;

public void setBatches(ArrayList<Batch> batches) {
    this.batches = batches;

}

    this.courses = courses;
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}

    return courses;
}

    return batches;
}

        Batch batch = batches.get(position);
        holder.enrolment.setText(batch.getName());
        holder.selectEnrollment.setChecked(batch.isPreselect());
    } else {
        final CourseSlug course = courses.get(position);
        holder.enrolment.setText(course.getName());
        holder.selectEnrollment.setChecked(course.isPreselect());

    }
}

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return isInstituteStudent ? batches.size() : courses.size();
}

class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    TextView enrolment;
    CheckBox selectEnrollment;

    public ViewHolder(final View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        enrolment = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_entrollment);
        selectEnrollment = (CheckBox) itemView.findViewById(R.id.cb_select_entrollment);
        selectEnrollment.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean b) {
                int index = getLayoutPosition();
                if(isInstituteStudent) {
                    Batch batch = batches.get(index);
                    batch.setPreselect(b);
                } else {

                        }
                    }

        });

    }
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
    return super.getItemId(position);
}
}

My Recyclerview and button implemented class is given below
public class SelectPlatform extends BaseActivity {

PlatformAdapter adapter;

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_select_platform);

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

    );

    RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.rv_platform);
    recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    adapter = new PlatformAdapter();
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

    getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Select Courses");
    TextView title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_select_enrollment);
    title.setText("Select your courses");
    adapter.setInstituteStudent(false);
    adapter.setCourses(courses);
}

    getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Select Batches");
    TextView title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_select_enrollment);
    title.setText("Select your batches at " + institute.getName());
    adapter.setInstituteStudent(true);
    adapter.setBatches(institute.getBatches());

    // Save institute name
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).edit();
    editor.putString("institute_name", institute.getName());
    editor.commit();
}

public void onButtonClick(View view) {
    findViewById(R.id.pb_loading).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    findViewById(R.id.tv_error).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    findViewById(R.id.ll_content_area).setVisibility(View.GONE);
    if(adapter.isInstituteStudent()) {
        ArrayList<Batch> batches = adapter.getBatches();

        ArrayList<Integer> batchIds = new ArrayList<>();
        for(Batch batch: batches) {
            if(batch.isPreselect())
                batchIds.add(batch.getId());
        }
        GeneralApiService.addBatches(this, batchIds);
    } else {
        ArrayList<CourseSlug> courses = adapter.getCourses();
        ArrayList<String> courseSlgus = new ArrayList<>();
        for(CourseSlug course: courses) {
            if(course.isPreselect())
                courseSlgus.add(course.getSlug());
        }
        GeneralApiService.addCourses(this, courseSlgus);
    }
    new SavePlatformNamesTask().execute();
}

A: Create a method in your activity like,
    public void updateUI(boolean isChecked){
       if(isChecked){
         // code to enable button
       }else
         // code to disable button
    }

Several years ago, my wife and I visited Beijing. Naturally we bought an extreme amount of tea at extreme prices. We swore we would drink it. We promised each other that we were making a sound purchase as we dumped hundreds of dollars down the tube at the tourist-trap-tea house.
Here we are, three years later and that damn tea is still in the cupboard (the sad fact being that we have purchased much more tea since then). Regardless of our tea purchasing problems, the tea remains. Tonight, I thought I would do something about that and the dying gerber daisies on the kitchen table.
I pulled leaves off flowers, dunked tea blooms into vases, filled up teapots with tea blooms and made little petal collages. Whether or not the pictures turned out well is not the point. What was important was that I proved that not only could I entertain myself at home on a Saturday night, but that I could also get rid of the tea in the cupboard.
If you find yourself recovering from a soju-over and cannot be bothered going out, break out the Speedlites, soft box, triggers, and a red-ringed lens. It beats working a jigsaw puzzle.

Empire and conquest has shaped the identity of London in such a way that it comes as no surprise that one of its most famous landmarks possesses a foreign name. If the capital had an official central point, then this would be it. Admiral Horatio Nelson defeated the French navy at every turn during the Napoleonic era and the Battle of Trafalgar was his most famous victory. It is commemorated here with a statue of the great sea warrior set atop an imposing column and guarded by four imperial lions. Under their gaze, celebrations, demonstrations and cultural milestones have all taken place and it is often the first port of call for short stay visitors.

As the London skyline becomes more and more dramatic, it makes sense to view it from higher up in order to get a better perspective. The London Eye is the world's largest Ferris wheel and serves as a classy and convenient viewing platform with an ideal position on the River Thames facing Big Ben. From here, you can see most of London's bridges and landmarks and can even hold events and parties in the specially made pods.

The Southbank Centre
This artistic quarter, comprising a collection of theatres, galleries and concert venues forms a riverside backdrop to the mighty London Eye. From alternative circuses to modern art installations, there's always something ground-breaking going on here, making it a magnet for adventurous culture lovers. A recurring feature at the Southbank is the summer long Udderbelly festival which focuses on the strange, alternative and quirky side of the arts.

Buildings of historical interest
Buckingham Palace: She may not spend most of her time there but big house at the end of The Mall is where Her Majesty the Queen likes to show her glamorous side. Here you will see the Trooping of the Colour, a military ceremony that's full of pageantry and tradition. There is also a small exhibition that shows off some of the royal treasures such as paintings, furniture and other valuables.
Whenever you see a picture of the monarch waving at her people during a state occasion, it's usually from here so it's a must-see destination.
www.royal.gov.uk
The Palace of Westminster (The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben) Fact: Big Ben does not refer to the famous clock tower but rather, the 13 ton bell that is housed within it. It's chimes personify the dignity and permanence of Britain's government like no other sound and the neo gothic building attached is known as the "Mother of all Parliaments". The representatives of the people meet here to debate the matters of government and as such proceedings are open to the public. Students of politics and history will find this place intriguing.
The Tower of London: Palace, fortress, prison and slaughterhouse. This brooding castle was built and rebuilt on the bank of the Thames to keep invaders out and to keep Londoners quiet. Guarded by the inscrutable Beefeaters who double up as tour guides, the tower was often the last stop for anyone who displeased the monarch, be they traitors, wives or interfering priests.
All this grim history is balanced out by the presence on the premises of the Crown Jewels. These are the fabulous gem – encrusted pieces that the Queen wears at state occasions and they are on view for the public.
This World War 2 battleship is anchored opposite the Tower of London and serves as a symbol of Britain's pride in the sacrificial courage of its wartime sailors. Basically a floating gun platform, HMS Belfast escorted convoys of ships carrying supplies from the USA to Russia via the hazardous Arctic route. She then supported the allied troop landings in France before going into retirement in the late fifties.
Visitors can experience the living and fighting conditions of Royal Navy personnel as they took the fight to the enemy. The gun control platforms are of particular interest and to show the vast range of these weapons, the ship has trained them on a motorway service station outside north London. This demonstrates how valuable an asset HMS Belfast was considered to be in times of conflict.
Recent renovations due to fire damage have allowed authorities to make refinements to the general viewing experience of this 19th Century sailing ship. The Cutty Sark tea clipper is now raised up on a transparent plinth which allows visitors to see under the vessel. Inside, there is an exhibition which tells the tale of how this magnificent sailing ship set world speed records as it raced across the oceans in a bid to bring tea and other precious commodities to these shores.

This is where London's gory past is dug up for all to see. Blood spattered and scary, the exhibitions here are nonetheless hugely entertaining with re-enactments of high crimes in low places. Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd and a cavalcade of crazy noblemen all appear in animatronic form.
Executions, murders and high treason all led to grisly deaths as London proved to be a magnet for all manner of murderers and thieves. The location is under the arches below London Bridge station and is suitably dark and mysterious with actors and props all playing their part in creating a super scary atmosphere.

Madame Tussaud's/Planetarium
In these celebrity mad times, the famous waxworks museum must be working overtime in order to keep up with the number of famous figurines that populate this most celebrated of London attractions. Kings, presidents and prime ministers are joined by Hollywood royalty and famous sporting personalities as these astonishingly realistic statues bring the lives of the rich and famous into 3D focus.
The same ticket gains access to the London Planetarium which is a dome shaped map of the universe. Exciting and informative displays of far-away constellations and galaxies are a popular draw to Londoners and tourists alike.

Thames Rocket
Want to see London's riverside sights but pushed for time? Or maybe you're an extreme sports fan wanting to fit in a bit of sight-seeing. The Thames Rocket is an aerodynamic speedboat that can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour and will whisk you past the world famous London skyline in minutes. Starting in the City and heading up to the Thames Barrier, you will be in the hands of an experienced skipper and a hilarious yet informative tour guide. The round trip only takes 40 minutes thanks to the designated river lanes and the sheer speed of your distinctive red boat. So wave goodbye to the boring old tour cruises as they trundle along in your wake and make like James Bond on a mission to save the capital (or whatever). The Thames Rocket is the newest and, some say, only way to see London.

London Duck Tours
Touring London by bus is great for close up detail but not so good if the traffic snarls up. Taking to the river avoids jams but is limiting in terms of scope. Duck Tours solves this conundrum in an imaginative way by using an ingenious invention from yesteryear. The "Duck" refers to the DUKW amphibious truck that was used by the allied armies to ferry troops from ship to beach during WWII. Whether rolling through London's streets or gliding down the Thames the bright yellow Duck is a flexible and fun way to get about. There are bespoke tours incorporating "James Bond", "Treasure Hunt" and "D – Day" themes.

Calvados: Schmoozer's Choice
A review of the Recanati Petite Sirah-Zinfandel Reserve 2009 and the Boulard Grand Solage VSOP, XO de Boulard and the Boulard Millesime 1985 Calvados.
By Joshua E. London and Louis Marmon
Washington Jewish Week June 22, 2011
The Recanati Petite Sirah-Zinfandel Reserve 2009 ($20) is a terrific kosher summer wine that is perfect with grilled and spicy foods. Made with 90 percent old-vine Petit Sirah sourced from the lower Galilee, it has an appealing earthy, brambly aroma accented with red berries, mint and dark plums. Full-bodied with complex blackberry and other slightly spicy, dark fruit flavors, it also shows coffee and toasted nuts in the bright finish.
Located in the Hefer Valley, the Recanati Winery is Israel's sixth largest with an annual output of 950,000 bottles. An extremely successful financier and banker, Lenny Recanati is also a passionate wine collector who established his eponymous winery in 2000. His family moved from Italy to Israel in the early 1900s, and Recanati attributes his early interest in wine to the vineyard in the garden of his parents' Haifa home.
Recanati's goal is to make wines that reflect the character of the Israeli terroir rather than imitate the wine of other countries. The current winemaking team of Gil Shatzberg (formally from Amphorae and Carmel wineries) and Ido Lewinsohn create wines from cabernet sauvignon, merlot, shiraz, zinfandel, cabernet franc, carignan, viognier, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc under the Yasmin, Recanati, Reserve and Special Reserve labels.
Spirits-wise, for an elegant and enjoyable change of pace, consider a fine premium Calvados like the Boulard Grand Solage VSOP ($50) at the young end, or even, moving up the price and age scale, the Boulard Calvados XO de Boulard ($110), or if price is no object, the Boulard Millesime 1985 ($280).
Calvados is basically apple brandy, or distilled hard apple cider, made in the Normandy region of northwest France. Think of it as the working Frenchman's cognac – though these days prices are keeping pace with that more luxury-branded grape-based libation. The people of the region commonly joke that there is no "art" to making calvados; rather it is enough to have had a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., who filled the barrels and managed the orchards. Calvados has a strong personality, and despite climbing prices, at its core, calvados remains a rustic drink.
Calvados is generally blended from dozens of different apple varieties and is aged in oak barrels at least two years and often much longer. Calvados is more often than not sweet or semisweet with aromas and flavors of apples and other fruits and spices. A young calvados can be harsh and feisty, like a young whiskey, but, like whiskey, mellows and matures with barrel aging.
Boulard Calvados is among the super-premium end of the quality spectrum. Boulard calvados comes from the famed Pays d'Auge district of Normandy, considered the finest-quality region because of its tradition of quality apples, refinement and double distillation in alembic pot stills. The Boulard Grand Solage VSOP, blended from four- and 10-year-old oak-aged calvados, is an unctuous, heady yet balanced, bittersweet, apply number with hints of almonds, vanilla, allspice and ginger wrapped in a slightly woody box.
The Boulard Calvados XO de Boulard, blended from eight- to 40-year-old oak-aged calvados, is full-bodied, rich, velvety smooth, sweet spirit with aromas and flavors of apples, almost-ripe pears, toasted nuts, quince, raisins, nutmeg, allspice, caramel, star anise, and citrus fruits with a lovely toasty, oily finish. While the pricey Calvados Boulard Millesime 1985 (the year of distillation, not harvest), is a wonderfully complex, warming off-dry spirit, with notes of wood, apple tart, buttery baked apple, coffee, treacle, licorice, spices, and fresh and toasted nuts, followed by a hint of smoke.
Note that there are some who consider all calvados to be kosher, while others only consider certain brands to be kosher, and some require formal kosher certification. Boulard is officially considered kosher without certification by the Kashruth Authority of the London Beth Din (KLBD), by the Grand Rabbinat du Bas Rhin Beth Din de Strasbourg and by the Consistoire de Paris. As always, those concerned should consult their local or personal kosher food authority.
A.J. Liebling, the longtime New Yorker journalist and famous fresser (read "gourmand"), declared in his 1962 food memoir, Between Meals, that "Calvados … is the best alcohol in the world." To Liebling, calvados, "the veritable elixir of Eden," was much better in every respect to cognac, which he considered "precocious and superficial" by comparison, even though "millions of Frenchmen are obtuse enough to prefer cognac." In his 1958 book Normandy Revisited, Liebling opined that calvados "has a more agreeable bouquet, a warmer touch to the heart, and more outgoing personality than cognac."
The list and price of available kosher cognacs makes Liebling hard to argue with on this. Suffice it to say that if a glass of cognac is supposed to conjure up images of a visit with French aristocracy, a glass of calvados reminds one that schmoozing with the hired help is likely to be more diverting. L'Chaim!

I read a lot of knife reviews. Pretty much every time I buy a knife I'll read a few just for fun. Many of those mention difficulties with sharpening new knives that people just got from the store. At first I thought those comments were ridiculous. I mean, surely you can sharpen a knife. Any knife… Right?
And it's true. It's possible to sharpen any knife, or a properly heat treated steel object for that matter, at home or in the field. But as my collection of knives grew bigger and bigger and I kept getting more and more of those 'DIY' projects, I started getting a little impatient with certain knife companies. Let me explain what those folks meant by complaining they could not sharpen a knife and why I'm losing my patience with certain knife brands.
Some knife companies generally don't seem to bother sharpening some of their knife models. Some say it allows them to sell those models cheaper. Fair point, except there are much cheaper knives out there, which are incredibly sharp right out of the box. But let's not confuse two different things here. If a knife is properly ground and just not razor sharp, that's still ok. Most of those complaining in their reviews would still be able to sharpen a knife like that without a problem. That's not what they're complaining about.
The true problem, or problems, lie elsewhere.
Knives with unusable edge angle. It's quickly becoming my nightmare. Pretty much every single knife I get, except the cheapest Mora and Hultafors knives (and maybe a few others), come with an edge of about 30-35 degrees on each side! A knife like that will not cut anything properly. I don't even put such angles on most of my axes and machetes. This may be good for a shovel but not a knife you're intending to use for carving or food preparation. Regular sharpening will not solve the problem. You need to regrind the thing to a shallower angle between 17 and 25 degrees which can take hours, unless you use a dedicated grinder. I say dedicated because taking a knife to just any grinder may overheat the blade and ruin the heat treat. Don't do it!
Knives with no edge or no grind whatsoever. This may seem ridiculous but I have got a lot of those as well. These are the DIY projects I mentioned before. It seems as if you payed for a knife but were in stead sent a flat piece of steel to shape in your spare time. Like it's your hobby or something. Too bad nobody specified this in the product description. Needless to say, you can sharpen those all you want. They will never cut anything, unless you grind them down with a file, a grinding wheel or something of that sort.
The more of those DIYs I get, the more I understand those angry reviews. It's not about being able to fix it. Of course I can fix it. But why should I waste my time on something I've already payed for? Besides, not everyone will have the tools, skills or simply the time and patience to deal with something like that.
In the video below I show one such example. I also explain and demonstrate how to solve the problem. Hope that helps.


It looks like I'm a running a little bit behind this year, but, well, better late than never, they say. I'm determined to blog whenever I have the chance this year, so while it may be sporadic, I'll be happy just to post whatever I can whenever I can. And I hope you enjoy it every time. So without further ado…the post and the list.
Have you read any of these books? Would you recommend? Why or why not?
What books are you planning to read in 2019? I'd love for you to share in the comments.

FSL Excellence Awards Highlight the Best of Greek Life
As we bid adieu to 2014, the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL) celebrated the JMU Greek community's accomplishments in the past year. Sunday, January 25th, FSL hosted the 26th Annual Excellence Awards at the Festival Grand Ballroom. Sisters, brothers, and alumni gathered to watch as they were commended for their achievements, both as individuals and as chapters, in bettering the JMU and surrounding Harrisonburg communities.
"It's important to highlight, acknowledge, and celebrate all that these students have accomplished because their service is so worthwhile," said Associate Director Adam Lindberg.
This year over 200 applications were sent in, all vying for a reduced number of awards from the previous year. Individuals and chapters can be nominated by a member of the Greek community via an online submission stating why the nominee is worthy of recognition. The honor of judging goes to a committee of individuals who are or were affiliated with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and FSL itself.
During the award ceremony, while chapter awards are presented by FSL and the FSL Advisory Board, the presentation of individual awards holds a more personal touch: the person who nominated the recipient is the one who presents the award to him or her.
FSL Graduate Assistant Matt Ferramosca believes the ceremony highlights what is arguably one of the most important aspects of Greek life: their philanthropies. "[The fraternities and sororities] put a lot of energy into their philanthropies and want to be recognized," he said. "These awards validate their efforts and keep motivation high by recognizing all the good that they do."
It is understandable then that the Outstanding Philanthropy Event/Program Award is one of the most coveted of all awards. The 26th Annual Excellence Awards recognized the sisterhood Zeta Tau Alpha and brotherhood Kappa Alpha Order for their efforts to spread awareness and raise money to support their chapters' national philanthropies.
Zeta Tau Alpha's philanthropy is Breast Cancer, and Chapter President Elizabeth Teune spoke of several events her chapter hosted to shine the spotlight on their philanthropy: "During the month of October we had an illumination ceremony, a home run derby, and a Breast Cancer 5K, and many other events. Many sisters know people who have been affected by Breast Cancer, and this has made us more passionate as a result."
Though Zeta Tau Alpha raised thousands of dollars at functions like the 5K run, not all focused solely on fundraising. The sisters held an Illumination Ceremony on the Festival Lawn dedicated to spreading awareness and remembering all those who have been affected by Breast Cancer. Around 200 people came to the ceremony, where individuals were invited to come forward and share their stories. The meaningful accounts honored both those who lost their battle and those who survived.
"We are incredibly honored to receive this award, and it will only inspire us to double our efforts," Teune promised.
For Kappa Alpha Order, their philanthropy, Muscular Dystrophy, also was a personal fight.
"Last year a brother's cousin got diagnosed," said chapter President Dan Cracovaner, "and unfortunately there is no cure, only expensive treatment to slow it down."
The chapter made it their goal to pay for the cousin's medical expenses. After their successful weeklong philanthropy project, entitled War of the Roses, they raised enough money to pay for treatment, physical therapy, and summer camp for the afflicted individual. The brothers presented the additional money raised beyond that to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Each day of War of the Roses consisted of different events and games which sororities competed in to raise money and awareness for Muscular Dystrophy. All the while the brothers of Kappa Alpha Order took to Twitter to raise awareness, and each time a fact about the disease was retweeted, they donated a dollar to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
"We are really proud to receive [the Outstanding Philanthropy Event/ Program Award]; we put in so much time and effort and feel great that our hard work was recognized," Cracovaner said.
And in the fashion of saving the best for last, the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life announced the recipients for the final award of the night, one all chapters aspire to earn: Chapter of the Year. For the sororities, Kappa Alpha Theta took the title home this year. However, since several fraternities incurred risk management violations, no fraternity received the top honor this year.
This announcement was followed by a challenge that Associate Director Adam Lindberg issued to the fraternity men of JMU. He made it clear that more is expected out of all the fraternities and that the mantle of Fraternity of the Year is an honor only bestowed to those who have truly earned it and exceeded the highest of expectations.
"[Next year's] winner will be the organization that decides, right now in 2015, that the status quo simply isn't good enough," he stated, as everyone in attendance listened in rapt silence. "That allowing the actions of a select few to determine the direction of the group overall will no longer be tolerated." Lindberg acknowledged the media scrutiny fraternities are under, letting it be known that the community and the nation demand better of them as men, as brothers, and as chapters.
"I challenge every fraternity man in this room to use this year as fodder for deep conversations amongst their chapters," he said. "As we have seen this evening, as individuals we have achieved much, and I am 100% confident that as organizations, we will achieve even more."
And he's right. Individual after individual received awards for staying true to the values of their chapters, for being leaders within their organization, for outstanding community service, and so much more. These organizations have so much to offer, and have already contributed thousands of hours and dollars in service to benefit JMU, Harrisonburg, and their philanthropies and will continue to do so.
But the question is, who will step up to the plate? FSL asks of every chapter: Is 2015 your year?

Russell Watson: Why I'm A Celebrity trial reminded me of brain tumour treatment
Russell Watson (ITV/PA)
Russell Watson has revealed he almost backed out of the Rancid Rotisserie trial on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! because the contraption reminded him of the MRI scanner used during his brain tumour treatment.
The classical music star, who has survived two pituitary tumours, said he became "panicky" upon being strapped to the rotating machine, which repeatedly dunked him into cold gunge as he attempted to correctly answer trivia questions.
But the 54-year-old, who was eliminated from the ITV show on Tuesday, said that despite his claustrophobia he managed to steel himself and complete the challenge.
Poor @russellthevoice is being basted like a Christmas turkey! 🦃 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/ZADEr6LkNI
— I'm A Celebrity… (@imacelebrity) November 30, 2020
Speaking after his departure, he said: "I would have liked to have done a couple more trials but the public are voting and that was that. But the one I did do was enough to last me a lifetime."
He added: "I am sure they had it in a freezer overnight because it was freezing cold.
"I was petrified as well because I am quite claustrophobic and it reminded me a little bit of the MRI scanner that I have been in so I was a bit panicky before.
"When they were strapping me in I was lying there and they started putting these straps around, and I am lying there thinking: 'I actually don't want to do this.'
"But I got to the point where I said: 'No, we are in here now so might as well go for it.'"
In 2005, Watson began having headaches and was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma the size of two golf balls, and underwent a five-hour operation to have it removed.
Two years later he suddenly became incapacitated while recording his album Outside In and doctors discovered a regrowth, which was also successfully removed.
Just when you thought this show couldn't get any weirder… 🤯 😂😱 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/ufrLHz2TIC
The singer, who departed the show in a double eviction alongside soap star Jessica Plummer, said he had turned down the chance to appear on the programme six times because he feared he would not be able to keep up his complex medication regime.
He said: "I have been asked to do it six times and I have always said no.
"I thought, I don't think it is something I would be able to do certainly with my daily regime of drugs and steroids that I have to take after the tumour, because I don't produce hormones naturally.
"One of the tablets which is Hydrocortisone – basically if I didn't take that for 48 hours, I would be dead in a coma.
"They are the type of things I was thinking. But when I got in there slowly started thinking: 'I can do this and I can get on with my life.'"
Watson said he had lost more than 9kg in the two weeks he spent in Gwrych Castle due to their restricted diet, which he estimated at about 600 or 700 calories a day.
"If your belly is empty and you are cold it feel even colder," he said.
"It was freezing in there, like white fingers and that malarkey. I couldn't believe it.
"I got weighed, I'm not telling you how much I weigh obviously because that's private, but when I went in there I was a certain weight.
"I came out and I had lost nearly 20 pounds in two weeks … I put my pants on this morning because I thought I might smarten myself up and wear a nice suit today.
"I put my pants on and they literally fell down to the floor. I won't be wearing them today then. I had to put two belts on just to hold my jeans up."

China's Anbang Insurance Says Chairman Can't Perform Duties; Reportedly Detained for Questioning
June 14, 2017 by Hui-yong Yu, Belinda Cao and Jacob Gu
Anbang Insurance Group Co., the Chinese company that was at the forefront of a global acquisition spree before abruptly reversing course, said Chairman Wu Xiaohui is unable to perform his duties for personal reasons amid local media reports that he has been taken away for questioning.
Other senior managers are authorized to carry out Wu's responsibilities and operations are normal, the Beijing-based company said in a statement posted on its website. Caijing Magazine said late on Tuesday that Wu was taken away by Chinese authorities on June 9, citing unidentified people, before deleting the report from its website.
The news, amid a crackdown on financial risk-taking in China, adds to the intrigue surrounding one of the country's most aggressive overseas dealmakers, which has faced questions over its ownership and financing. Since it embarked on a global takeover spree three years ago, Anbang has drawn attention for making preemptive offers and disrupting transactions already in place. Wu has personally negotiated deals without using traditional investment banks.
Sliding Shares
News of Anbang's troubles touched off a slide in Chinese shares, led by insurers. Gemdale Corp., a developer about one-fifth owned by Anbang, fell as much as 4.1 percent in Shanghai. Ping An Insurance Group Co. slid as much as 3 percent. Anbang isn't publicly traded.
This year, Anbang has been conspicuously subdued in its dealmaking as insurance regulators have escalated an industry crackdown by curtailing sales of risky products and restricting insurers' acquisitions of listed companies. Anbang's life insurance unit was banned in May from applying for new products for three months, after regulators said they found a product that circumvented rules and disrupted market order.
Caijing Magazine's report said that officials from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission met with a small group of Anbang staff on June 10 and didn't provide specific reasons for Wu being taken away. The report, which said it wasn't clear whether Wu was assisting with a government investigation, was later deleted from the magazine's website. Caijing didn't immediately answer calls and emails requesting comment before regular business hours in Beijing.
A person familiar with the matter told the South China Morning Post that Wu had been "assisting relevant investigations" and previously had always returned to his office or home after a few hours of questioning. Wu hasn't returned since he was taken away at the end of last week, the person told the newspaper.
Anbang on June 2 denied a Financial Times report that said Wu was barred by Chinese authorities from leaving the country.
Wu is the latest tycoon to allegedly fall afoul of Chinese authorities. Prominent financier Xiao Jianhua was taken by agents from a Hong Kong hotel earlier this year and presumed to have been taken back to China, according to local media reports.
CIRC declined to comment to Caijing, and Bloomberg's phone calls to CIRC spokesman Zhang Zhongning outside business hours weren't answered. Anbang's U.S. representatives said they had no immediate comment.
Anbang drew worldwide attention in 2014, as it snapped up real estate and financial-services companies in Asia, the U.S. and Europe, often at large premiums. In October that year it agreed to buy the landmark Waldorf Astoria in New York for $1.95 billion, a record for a single American hotel, and later closed the property while it converts most of the rooms to luxury condominiums.
Wu established ties with the family of reform leader Deng Xiaoping after marrying Deng's granddaughter Zhuo Ran. The vast majority of Anbang is collectively owned by people connected Wu or Zhuo Ran, the New York Times has reported.

Anbang had been in talks to invest in the proposed redevelopment of 666 Fifth Ave. in New York, the marquee holding of Kushner Cos., the family company of President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Talks broke off in March.
Wu has done deals with Blackstone Group LP, whose chairman and chief executive officer, Stephen Schwarzman, has helped endow a scholarship at Beijing's Tsinghua University. China's sovereign wealth fund owns a minority stake in Blackstone.
In early 2016, Anbang agreed to buy Strategic Hotels & Resorts, owner of 16 high-end hotels in the U.S., from Blackstone for about $6.5 billion. One hotel next to a major naval base later dropped out of the purchase amid national security concerns.
About the same time as Anbang agreed to the Strategic purchase, it made a surprise $14 billion offer for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, starting a bidding war with Marriott International Inc. A few weeks later, Anbang walked away from the bid with scant explanation, having forced Marriott to increase its offer by about $1 billion.
Last month, an investor group including funds affiliated with Blackstone agreed to acquire Fidelity & Guaranty Life. Anbang's earlier agreement to buy the company was canceled in April after the Chinese company failed to meet transaction deadlines.

Should there be separate Ramachandran plots for an amino acid in different contexts?
I understand the nomenclature of the phi and the psi angles of the alpha-Carbon atoms in protein stucture, but I am confused by the Ramachandran plot. Each alpha-Carbon atom (magenta) makes two peptide linkages and has two corresponding neighbouring alpha-Carbons (cyan) and side-chains. I would expect the psi and phi values to depend on the interactions of these side-chains, so I would expect that for a single amino acid one would need a separate graph for every possible combination of neighbouring amino acids.
I am not clear whether this the case. The following graph (1) from Harper, Biochemistry, is for "many non-glycine residues from many proteins". So, suppose a set of phi and psi is allowed for a right-handed helix (a value or data set taken from the plot) does it mean that it is allowed for any amino acid with any other amino acid? I woud expect an alanine adacent to an alanine to have a different interaction to an alanine adjacent to a bulky amino acid such as isoleucine.
I have also seen plots for specific amino acid and their allowed angles, such as that for proline (2), above. This suggests that the neighbours are not being taken into account. If this is so, why not?

$\begingroup$ I have edited your question to remove the various erroneous assertions and focus on the key point of interest. The question of whether the plots are for one or several amino acids is trivial — they are for many. The more pertinent question is why there are not different plots for amino acids with different neighbours, or, indeed, whether the different positions represent these different neighbours. This is answered by @VonBeche. (You may think it presumptious to alter your question in this way, but the idea of SE is, as you will be aware, to produce an archive of useful questions and answers.) $\endgroup$ – David May 1 '17 at 22:58
$\begingroup$ @David Oh no! this is absolutely fine. Well, it looks much better now. Thanks :) $\endgroup$ – Polisetty May 2 '17 at 12:18
The phi and psi dihedrals describe the dihedral on both sides of the c-alpha of a single amino acid, and do not involve any angles of the neighboring amino acid.
The Ramachandran plot is something generated from a set of protein structures, an empirical data set. The top graph represents the dihedrals found for all non-glycine residues in a set of structures. You can filter this for proline only, and you'd get the bottom graph. The top cloud of dihedrals represents those found in beta-sheets, and the bottom cloud those for alpha-helices. Sequence (the amino acid before or after) doesn't really matter that much for what's allowed (although we cannot directly deduce this from the data in those graphs).
If you look a little bit more into the structure of helices and sheets you'll also find out why that's the case. In beta sheets the sidechain of the +1 residue is pointing completely the other way, and also in helices there's little interaction between the sidechains of subsequent residues. Secondary structures are built using the amides, not with the sidechains.
VonBecheVonBeche
$\begingroup$ The OP might also find it helpful to look at the diagram in the Wikipedia entry for dihedral angles to see that any alpha carbon atom (with its sidechain) whose dihedral angle one is considering is three atoms away from each of the neighbouring two (note) alpha carbon atoms, and thus the neighbouring residues need not be in close proximity. $\endgroup$ – David Apr 30 '17 at 20:38
$\begingroup$ I have +1'd your answer, but if the OP accepts my modification of his question, you may wish to modify your answer somewhat. Sorry for the inconvenience, but see my comments to his question. $\endgroup$ – David May 1 '17 at 23:00
Some further observations about Ramachandran plots in response to the question:
They were originally calculated. This was done by considering the minimum contact distances shown in the diagram (which is from Wikipedia, but based on that in J. Mol. Biol. (1963) 7, 95–99). The side-chains were not considered, except for the Cβ of the central residue. In the case of a glycine side-chain that lacks a Cβ, different values are allowed. The original plot had 'allowed' regions enclosed by a solid line, with an 'outer limit' indicated by a broken line.
The diagram in Fig. 1 in the question, in contrast, is an experimental plot for amino acid residues (other than glycine) in several proteins. Each point represents the dihedral angles for a single instance of an amino acid. Such plots based on very many amino acids are sometimes used as a check for possible errors in experimental values obtained for new proteins — see review by GJ Kleywegt.
When plotting experimental values for very many proteins, the points would superimpose, making it impossible to see which regions were most densely populated. That is why in Fig. 2 in the question a coloured contour map is used to represent the density in particular regions. (More elaborate examples may be found.)
On the general plot of the type originally calculated (1) one often sees particular constrained areas marked for chains in which the same Φ/Ψ angles repeat at every position. These are for structures like α-helices, β-sheets etc. (see image below, taken from Wikipedia entry on Ramachandran Plot.)
The reason Fig. 1 of the question excludes glycine is that its lack of Cβ means it can occur in regions such as Lα, from which most (but not all) larger amino acids are excluded. Likewise, the plot for the imino acid, proline, is different from the other amino acids because of the constraints imposed by the proline ring.
Small, non-repeating hydrogen-bonded structural motifs in proteins may also impose constraints on allowed dihedral angles at certain positions in the motif. Such motifs may exert other constraints which influence the amino acids at particular positions. One might possibly regard this as an influence of amino acid side-chain on allowed dihedral angles, although it is perhaps better to regard it as an influence of amino acids on the occurance of the motif as a whole.

FasMart agrees to comply with ADA under settlement
Jeremy M. Lazarus | 4/26/2019, 6 a.m.
G. Zachary Terwilliger
FasMart, a Richmond-based convenience store chain, no longer will bar disabled people accompanied by a service animal.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, announced Tuesday that the owner of the 1,400-store chain, GPM Investments Inc., agreed to allow blind and other disabled people who rely on service animals to shop with their animals.
Mr. Terwilliger stated that his office was pursuing a complaint against the company regarding the issue and welcomed the settlement that is based on the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Under the ADA, "people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal are entitled to participate on an equal basis with others, including visiting retail establishments," Mr. Terwilliger stated. "We are pleased that GPM has agreed to take steps to ensure that these individuals are welcome in all of its stores."
The investigation began with a complaint from an individual that Mr. Terwilliger stated was ushered out of a FasMart store because his service animal was with him. The complainant's name and where the incident happened were not released.
Under the settlement agreement, GPM has agreed to display signs in its stores welcoming service animals and to train all its employees on the policy.
The company also has agreed to pay $1,000 in compensation to the complainant, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Gordon, coordinator for civil rights enforcement, who handled the matter for Mr. Terwilliger. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We believe in one true, living God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is creator of all things, infinite in power, wisdom and love.
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God who became flesh and is the source of all valid Christian teaching. Through him we are forgiven and reconciled to God.
We believe the Holy Spirit is a constant presence in our lives from which we find strength and comfort. The Holy Spirit empowers us to do the will of God.
We believe that God created people in his image and that we are dearly loved by God. Sin separates our relationship with God and we need to be reconciled through Jesus Christ. We believe that God wants to have a personal relationship with each of us.
We believe grace is undeserved love and forgiveness given to us by God when we believe. Through Grace we have the power to live with dignity in the present and with HOPE for the future.
We believe the church is the body of Christ of which Christ Jesus is the Head. It is a community of faith whose purpose is to glorify God by loving Him and others.


When Herman Miller went looking for a flagship showroom in Los Angeles, a former warehouse caught their attention, and with the help of their design and construction team, this 28,000 square foot renovation became the first LEED Commercial Interiors Platinum project in Los Angeles.
Because Herman Miller's products are used in many environments, the initial design directive was that the space should be a clean, modern environment with an incandescent, "residential" feel, and it was to be implemented as a low-cost, energy efficient system. The showroom itself is divided into many different vignettes, including offices with modular workstations, classrooms, meeting rooms and residential environments. Lighting becomes a unifying element for the store.


The Omega Speedmaster may have gotten a lot of attention this year as it's the 60th anniversary of the collection but the Seamaster is by far the oldest collection within Omega. Launched in 1948 to coincide with the brand's 100th anniversary the watch was intended as a robust yet elegant watch for "town, sea and country", and this year Omega has decided to offer a brand new Seamaster Aqua Terra collection for 2017.
As the years went on, there were many different renditions of the Seamaster but some would argue that the true spirit of the very first Seamaster watches was re-ignited when Omega launched the Seamaster Aqua Terra in 2002. Where the Seamaster 300 and the Seamaster Planet Ocean were designed to go deeper beneath the waves, the Aqua Terra – with the latin words meaning sea and land – was the watch for lighter seafaring activities. What resulted was an elegant watch that could hold its own on a night out and yet be robust enough to be worn, say on a yacht.
These days the Aqua Terra line is pretty much defined by the "teak" pattern on its dial but funnily enough when the collection first launched in 2002, the dial was smooth. It wasn't until 2008 that Omega included this stripe pattern as a staple of the Seamaster Aqua Terra watches.
15 years since the very first Aqua Terra watches launched, Omega celebrates the anniversary with a new Aqua Terra collection that offers some very interesting re-designs along with modern updates like the brand's METAS-tested Master Chronometer certification.
Of course the most noticeable difference about the new Aqua Terra is the fact that the 'teak' pattern on the dial is now horizontal as opposed to vertical and Omega has also decided to re-position the date window to 6 o'clock. The more subtle design changes come with the integration of the strap and bracelet into the case which supposedly make it fit more comfortably on the wrist and they have also borrowed the, much loved, twisted lugs of their Speedmaster collection for the watch. On the technical side, the one major change to the movement is that the new 2017 Seamaster Aqua Terra watches, both for men and women, will be Master Chronometer certified. This means that the watch will be tested underwater, tested for the deviation under different power reserve levels, tested with magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss and of course tested so that the average daily chronometric precision of these watches are the best it can be.
If you're still not convinced, here's Eddie Redmayne on a yacht with a Seamaster Aqua Terra on his wrist. We have to say, it's looking pretty damn good.
Like what you see? You should be able to find the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra collection in a Omega Boutique in Kuala Lumpur pretty soon.

Q: Amenable groups with $\mathbb{N}*\mathbb{Z}$ as a subsemigroup It is known that there are examples of amenable groups with free semigroups $\mathbb{N}*\mathbb{N}$ sitting inside. On the other hand it is not possible for an amenable group to contain $\mathbb{Z}*\mathbb{Z}$. I wonder if the middle case is still possible: are there amenable groups with $\mathbb{N}*\mathbb{Z}$ as a subsemigroup?

A: Let $G$ be the wreath product of infinite cyclic groups $\langle x \rangle$ and
$\langle y \rangle$, with the base group being the normal closure of $\langle x \rangle$. So $G$ is metabelian and hence amenable. It looks to me as though the subsemigroup generated by $x$, $x^{-1}$ and $y$ is isomorphic to ${\mathbb Z} * {\mathbb N}$.
The base group of the wreath product is the free abelian group generated by the conjugates $x_i := z^ixz^{-i}$ (with $i \in {\mathbb Z}$) of $x$. Then the element $x^{i_1}y^{j_1} \cdots x^{i_n}y^{j_n}$ (with $i_k \in {\mathbb Z}$, $j_k \in {\mathbb N}$, and all terms except the first and last nontrivial) is equal to $x_0^{i_1}x_{m_1}^{i_2} \cdots x_{m_{k-1}}^{i_k}y^{m_k}$, where $m_1=j_1$, $m_2=j_1+j_2$, $\ldots$, $m_n=j_1+\cdots+j_n$, which is uniquely determined by the word.


Webinar: Discover the possibilities of Document Management.
Topic: Document Management with AuraPortal through automatic processes.
Document management forms part of the daily activities performed in the business, therefore it cannot be independent. As Document Management is included in AuraPortal, the Processes control the activities performed in the entity, and in this way, they manage the documents involved in the activities and are responsible for their optimal management.
AuraPortal integrates an ECM (Enterprise Content Management) that offers one of the most complete systems for managing Documents (electronic and physical) and Digital Content. Through its capacity to manage Processes, Libraries and Management Families, AuraPortal automates and optimizes the entire life cycle of Web Enterprise Content Management: automated document Capture and Creation, Storage (Virtual intelligent Archive), Flows, Access and Elimination, allowing the secure and efficient management of all corporate documentation, however complex the entity structure may be.
It is therefore not a question of Document Management leading a workflow. On the contrary, it involves using the capacity to manage and control the Processes that AuraPortal provides to manage and control Documents and Digital Content: Archives, Approvals, versioning, Digital Signature, Subscriptions for change notices, content Searches, Discussions, Surveillance, Trace for audit, Content Publishing, etc.
The course objective is to understand how, through the Processes, Rules and Management Families, AuraPortal is capable of automating and optimizing the entire life cycle of documents: Capture and Creation, Storage, Flow, Access and Elimination, allowing the secure and efficient management of all corporate documentation however complex the entity structure may be.
Directed to Partners, Agents and AuraPortal Customers.

Cities in BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Three religions BosniaPhoto:Mazbln CC 3.0 Unported no changes made
Generally speaking, the Bosniaks have Islam (40% of the population) as their religion, which has its roots in the centuries-long rule by Ottomans, the Croats are Roman Catholic (15%) and the Serbs are Serbian Orthodox (31%). ). Characteristic of Bosnia-Herzegovina is the fact that the faith emphasizes ethnic identity.
Four percent of the population is Protestant and the other ten percent is Jewish, not religious or another religion.
Religious practice is on the back burner of all religions, caused by the communist regime when religion was discouraged. Religious practice has been reviving since the 1990s, especially among young Croatians in Herzegovina.
Hundreds of mosques and other sacred sites were destroyed during the war. About 200 Catholic and 30 Orthodox churches were also destroyed during that period. It is still the case that in areas where people form an ethnic or religious minority, the practice of one's religion is not always appreciated, sometimes leading to violence.
Medjugorje is a mountain village in southwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina. It became world famous for a series of apparitions of Mary that are said to have taken place there since 1981. Since then it has become a famous pilgrimage site. The Catholic Church has not recognized this pilgrimage site so far.
