TWRC wildlife Center accepts raptors such as Hawks, owls and Vultures. A raptor is a special type of bird which captures live prey. The word "raptor" means "to seize or grasp" in Latin. Raptors use their powerful, sharp talons to capture their prey and to defend themselves. Though it's difficult to estimate the lifespan of raptors in the wild, many birds can live up to five or six years. However, most birds do not make it past their first winter. It's April, but Great Horned Owls have been busy at their nests for two months. Golden Eagles are on their nests as early as the beginning of March. And Red-tailed Hawks begin early, too. Why do these birds of prey nest so early? It takes a long time to raise a baby hawk or owl to the size at which it can fend for itself. Such large birds grow slowly. By nesting so early, these raptors fledge their young by the time spring arrives.

Q: Python SQLite3 Retrieve Variables From SELECT Query I'm busy writting a python script that is querying two db tables to build a single row of data per row it finds. Here is my script at the moment
#========================================================================
# DB CONNECT FUNCTION
#========================================================================
def f_connect(status):

    global gv_conn
    global gv_curs

    if status == 1:
        gv_conn = sqlite3.connect("./data.db")
        gv_curs = gv_conn.cursor()
    else
        gv_conn.close()

#========================================================================
# PREPARE SQL STATEMENTS
#========================================================================
def f_statements():

    global users_stmt
    users_stmt = ("select * from users")
    global users_curs
    users_curs = gv_conn.cursor()

    global uinfo_stmt
    uinfo_stmt = ("select * from uinfo" +
                  "where ui_u_id = ?")
    global uinfo_curs
    uinfo_curs = gv_conn.cursor()

#========================================================================
#
# MAIN SCRIPT START
#
#========================================================================

f_connect(1)

f_statements()

la_users = []

for u_row in users_curs.execute(users_stmt):

    # THIS LINE GETS USERS FROM THE ABOVE STATEMENT
    # AND ADDS THEM TO THE DICTIONARY
    la_users.append({"u_id": u_row[0], "u_name": u_row[1]})

    # THIS LINE EXECUTES ANOTHER QUERY TO RETRIEVE
    # A SINGLE ROW OF DATA FROM ANOTHER TABLE
    la_uinfo = uinfo_curs.execute(uinfo_stmt, "1")

f_connect(0)

My problem is that when I execute the first sql statement I can get get the data by looping using a for loop which is storing the data so i can access it using u_row[int].
When I execute the second query it is storing it inside la_uinfo although when I try to get the data from la_uinfo[int] it doesn't work? How can I retrieve the data from my second query without using another for loop? (I shouldn't have to considering it only returns one row)

A: Cursors are not indexable, so  cursor[0] will not work. To retrieve the first row of a cursor, you should use cursor.fetchone().

Chaim Gans's A Political idea for the Jewish People examines the 2 dominant interpretations of Zionism, contrasts them with post-Zionist choices, and develops a 3rd version. besides exploring the historiographic, philosophical and ethical foundations of every of those methods, Gans considers their implications for the connection among Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine in addition to the connection among Israeli and diasporic Jews.
Proprietary Zionism, Gans argues, is the model that's most well-liked one of the Israeli Jewish public. It conceives of the land of Israel/historic Palestine because the estate of the Jewish humans.

Hierarchical Zionism is usual between Israel's proficient elites and translates the Jewish correct to self-determination for granted to hegemony in the Israeli kingdom. It continues to be silent at the factor of the connection among Israeli and non-Israeli Jews. Post-Zionist techniques, conversely, completely reject those Zionist narratives concerning Jewish background and critique the reason for the continuing life of the nation of Israel as a Jewish state.
Gans disagrees with all of those techniques, and of their stead advocates egalitarian Zionism, that is in line with an egalitarian interpretation of definitely the right to nationwide self-determination and derives from the excuses for Zionism in its early years. As such, it translates the historic hyperlink among the Jews and the land of Israel when it comes to identification instead of estate. It additionally perspectives the hyperlink among Israel and international Jewry as a question of selection for person Jews--not as an issue of necessity, inextricably guaranteed to their essence as Jews. He sees it as most suitable to either the dominant strands of Zionism but in addition to the foremost modern anti-Zionist ways: first, that of the Israeli post-Zionists providing a civic or post-colonial imaginative and prescient of a non-Jewish nation, and, secondly, that of the quite often American post-Zionists who've a neo-diasporic imaginative and prescient for either Israeli and non-Israeli Jews within which the relationship to the land of Israel is unfastened at most sensible. eventually, the publication argues that egalitarian Zionism is more advantageous to its opponents either within the authenticity of its dating to Jewish background and in its implications for denizens of Israeland Jews round the world.
The us and Canada have the world's biggest buying and selling dating and the longest shared border. Spanning the interval from the yankee Revolution to post-9/11 debates over shared protection, Canada and the USA bargains a present, considerate evaluation of family among the 2 international locations.

When spouses divorce, alimony, also known as spousal support, is intended to help the spouse who is in the weaker financial position transition to a state of financial independence. Alimony can come from both the supporting spouse and from the state (i.e., taxpayers). Spousal support is not intended to be a financial windfall or pension, though if circumstances make it necessary, spousal support may continue for a long time.
In Georgia, the court will consider the financial status and education of the party seeking support in the divorce, as well as the financial status of the party from whom support is requested. The court will consider what the requesting spouse did to contribute to the marriage, including his or her employment, role in raising children, career sacrifices for the other spouse's career, etc.
What Can Impact The Determination Of Spousal Support?
If the requesting spouse did not work and does not have the requisite qualifications to obtain employment, these factors will be considered and the court may award support. If the couple enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, the amount of spousal support awarded often will reflect that.
In some instances, spousal support may also include educational assistance for training or retraining if the spouse has skills that are not readily marketable. Spousal support is a separate consideration from child support. However, it will be considered when determining the child support amount.
Additionally, if the spouse who is receiving support remarries, the payments will cease (under the theory that the new couple can make it on their own without financial support from a prior spouse).
Furthermore, to have an order of spousal support modified, the party seeking the modification must file a separate action and there must be a change in financial circumstances for one or both parties.

When: Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Erich Thanhardt spends his days immersed in technology, but the Boulder County resident remains a steadfast bibliophile.
And at least twice a month, usually more, Thanhardt will make after-work treks to The Bookworm, 3175 28th St., in Boulder to hunt for new additions to his reading pile.
"It's that prize in the Cracker Jack box," he said. "You're going in and you're looking around because you don't know what you're going to find."
On one instance, he found a pristine copy of Roger Penrose's modern physics book "The Road to Reality," and on another occasion, he eagle-eyed an original, two-volume edition of William S. Baring-Gould's "The Annotated Sherlock Holmes" on the stocking pile.
The element of surprise is one aspect that keeps Thanhardt coming back to peruse the venerable used book shop's sea of shelves, but the other aspect — which he credits as a contributor to The Bookworm's longevity — is the human element.
"It was like 'Cheers,' they remembered my name, and I could get into good conversations," he said. "I just kept coming back."
The Bookworm this weekend is celebrating its 30th anniversary, or what co-owner Cathy Dillie cheerily calls a "bookiversary." The weekend will include giveaways, children's story time and, of course, cupcakes.
"To me, it's not a party unless there's cake," Dillie said.
The gregarious Dillie, who frequently peppers conversations with humor, grew up at The Bookworm. She was 15 when her mom, Linda Peashka, opened shop at the Diagonal Plaza.
At that time, Boulder's used book store count was in the double-digits, Dillie said, adding that some in the local industry didn't think a new store run by a housewife selling romance novels and popular paperbacks had much of a shot.
"Thirty years later . . ." Dillie said, trailing off as she gestured to The Bookworms' hundreds of thousands of books. "She made the bookstore like a bookstore that she would want."
Peashka catered to readers, Dillie said.
Since its opening day, and through changes such as a move to its current locale off 28th Street and a transfer of ownership within the family, The Bookworm has not wavered from that founding principle, she said.
"I love my customers, I love coming to work," Dillie said.
She jokes that the conversations she and her employees have with customers would be ripe for a trivia show. They come in with a list of titles sans authors or a piecemeal description of cover art and the staff usually can unearth the answer.
The book store also continues some of its old-school ways; the percentages for store credit remain the same and the store is not computerized.
"You walk out and look" for the book in question, Dillie said. "Even if you were computerized, you would still have to go find the book."
Peashka lives with Dillie and her husband, Allen, but still pops by the store on occasion.
It's still her baby, too, Dillie said.
The number of local sellers of used books has dwindled to the single digits, but The Bookworm is staying its course. Dillie said her loyal customer base and newcomers have kept The Bookworm on a path where it could operate for at least another 20 years — until she can pass the store along to the next generation.
"I don't picture a world without books," she said. "Not in our lifetime."

HomePoliticsAnti-Corruption Commission arrests former head of NRA – Haja Kallah Kamara
Anti-Corruption Commission arrests former head of NRA – Haja Kallah Kamara
August 3, 2018 Abdul Rashid Thomas Politics 7
Sierra Leone Telegraph: 3 August 2018:
The former Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority (NRA) – Ms Haja Kallah Kamara, along with the former director of finance – Abdulai Conteh, were yesterday arrested and detained at the Criminal Investigation Department, for alleged corruption and misappropriation of public funds.
Both are in custody, while investigations continue – the ACC tells the Sierra Leone Telegraph.
Details of the ACC investigations are unclear. But there are reports the investigations are in regard to off-budget payments – running into several billions of Leones made by senior management of the NRA.
The audit reveals that in a twelve months period Haja Kallah Kamara (Photo) and finance director Abdulai conteh, are alleged to have paid off budget expenditure of Le7 billion for fumigation of NRA offices.
It is alleged that she also built a primary school in her name in her village, where she spent 6 billion Leones on corporate social responsibility.
It is also alleged that they paid Le3.8 billion to a fictious Lynx Investment for stationery for just one supply.
Unconfirmed reports say that most of the payments were also made in cash in the name of junior staff members.
It is reported that the audit only covered one year of 2017, and that given the massive revelation, the Board of directors of NRA have directed that a full-scale audit should be carried out on the finances of NRA to cover donor project funds, NRA 3% paid by Government, duty waiver account and anti-smuggling accounts.
There are allegations also that the management of NRA allowed several businesses and individuals to evade taxation payment.
One of those businesses is the local cable TV network – DSTV, who evaded tax payment of about 6 Billion Leones.
The newly appointed NRA board members are said to be highly seasoned experts including Madam Tuma Jabbi – Chair, Mr Raf Ansumana – Bank of Sierra Leone, Mr Sahr Jusu – Financial Secretary, Mr Syl Barnes – former auditor general auditor, and Lawyer Jusu Kallon.
In another development, it has been confirmed that former President Ernest Bai Koroma, his Vice, former Ministers, Heads and Chairmen of Boards of Parastatals, Departments and Agencies within the period from November 2007 to April 2018 are to be investigated for misappropriation of public funds, amassing unexplained wealth, and other financial misdemeanours.
President Julius Maada Bio has already appointed a Nigerian Judge, Justice Biobele Georgewill (Photo) to serve as Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry.
Justice Biobele is a Justice of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria. In 2017, he chaired a seven-man Judicial Commission on Armed Forces Compliance with Human Rights that investigated alleged violation of citizens' rights by Nigerian security agencies.
The Constitutional Instrument on the establishment of the Commission has been tabled in Parliament for approval.
The setting up of a Commission of Inquiry is one of the recommendations laid out in the Government Transition Team Report.
The opposition APc party are protesting the arrest of former public officials whom they say, are members and supporters of their party.
They are also criticising the government's procedure in introducing the Bill proposing the establishment of the Commission of Enquiry.

YUSIF SESAY says:
Corruption must be stopped.
Mr. Bangura U. S. A says:
I am currently non-partisan. Yes before I was. But when l reckoned the massive corruptive wealth stolen by the so called neuphite politicians, l resented politics in Africa. If president Bio can truly set a precedent that every cent stolen from the government coffers by these thieves, be paid fully and pay a restitution in the form of a jail terms, Sierra Leone then will become the new Namibia, Rwanda and Senegal which we'all be proud of and your legacy will live forever.
President Bio, please maintain that that the filth you uprooted, may not be implanted by those you chose to serve the nation. Amen
Santhkie Sorie says:
Mr Momodu Kamara,
Thank you very much for your insightful and revealing comment.You seem to be an insider, which is what the nation yearns for to expose those in authority who brow beat the likes of Haja Kallah Kamara into engaging in criminal activities with public funds.
If you know the Haja personally, please urge her to spill the beans to avoid going down alone. Through vicarious liability, former president Ernest Koroma is already up to his neck in trouble.
The admission of Osman Yansaneh on BBC radio that he was involved in thievery, albeit not alone, should be further encouragement for Haja Kamara to stand up and speak out to save her professional neck.
Thanks again Mr Momodu Kamara; your revelation should help ACC tremendously to save the nation precious time and money.
Do you happen to know anything about the rumour that former vice president Victor Foh has donated one of his homes in Kenema to be used by SLPP as an office? Could this be a desperate attempt to endear himself to President Bio to help him avoid the focus and wrath of ACC?
Suad Z Bahsoon says:
Doing a fine job Sir, keep the good work . Suad Bahsoon
Momodu Kamara says:
Haja Kallah Kamara is a victim and she was forced by higher authorities to do many illegal things including enforcement of the Finance Act in favour of the Brewery
Dear President Bio,
By empanelling a commission of inquiry to look into all corrupt practices perpetrated by the Koroma Administration,you have released a monster which is going to assume a unique life of its own,whose main diet will be government officials who have trouble keeping their hands out of government coffers for personal use.
What can easily be foreseen about the monster is that it will develop no sense of loyalty – not even towards its creator.It will make grown up men and women tremble to their toes whenever it roams the corridors of power sometimes invisibly.
Mr President, you must be the most hated individual by the people [APC]whom you ousted this past April through the ballot box.These are people who have always boasted about their ninety nine political tactics which they believed made it impossible for anyone to defeat them – but defeat them you did.
They did arrive at the ninety ninth tactic but to their horror a strange element of it had divinely appeared which they could not understand let alone apply,making them sweat in air conditioned rooms as their grip on power slowly lost its tenacity.
When the Electoral Commissioner declared you president APC lost their mind and became listless, evidenced by the self-incrimination which the likes of Osman Yansaneh and even former president Earnest Koroma have dived into to save their skin."AR TELL DEN SAY NAR BLOOD MONEY LEH DENOR TOUCH AM",the latter said in a video recording.I hope the commission of inquiry will force the former president to disclose who "DEN" are.
Some in the former administration have already skipped town Mr President and have landed overseas, including Logus Koroma and former deputy mines minister,Abdul Koroma. Please instruct your Attorney-general to put out a warrant for their arrest with the International Police Organisation[INTERPOL].You may also ask the Americans and British to help us as well as member states of the British Commonwealth.The world should be made as small as the eye of a needle for these people who have destroyed our country,they are relatives of the devil.
I must let you know,Mr President,that I am with Dr Kandeh Yomkella and NGC,but I am first of all a Sierra Leonean. You are now the President of our dear country and I would only criticise you if I had good reasons to do so.It is the first time that I have ever associated myself with a political party because of the abiding dislike and suspicion that I habour for both APC and SLPP, notwithstanding the fact that there are individuals in both parties that I like.You are slowly becoming one.
Mr President, see yourself as the commander ; if you command your troops properly [ministers and others]they will do their job and you will emerge at the other end having carved your name into the history books positively for eternity and posterity.
I wish you Allah's/God's speed.
Al Khan says:
Good job President Bio. You are on the right track.

Watch mad attack on UK Police by Afghan Dutch resident who beheaded a woman (Video)
Mad attack on Pilce with hammer by violen EU offender / Photo CCO Public Domain by JohnHain, via Pixabay
A recent video emerged of horrifying attack with a hammer on police officers - EU violent offender
by Jane Flowers (article) and Parasshuram Shalgar (video)
14 January 2017 at 07:11 14 January 2017 at 07:11
A mad attack on UK police officers by Jamshid Piruz, an Afghan, Dutch permanent resident was captured on video.
The recent video emerged of the horrifying attack on police officers with a hammer.
The violent offender from the EU had previously done nine years jail time in Holland for beheading a woman in Holland after he watched videos of beheadings by the Taliban.
The incident of the attack with a hammer left PC Young in the hospital with head injuries. PC Jessica Chick who was there with a Police dog could be heard screaming at the man to back off as he attacked with mad vicious fury after he was approached as a burglary suspect in West Sussex last year.
Watch the Youtube video footage as the man goes berserk with a hammer
The crazy hammer attack was his second run in with the UK law
The crazy attack has now led to the man being imprisoned for life and according to the Mirror, the man will serve a minimum of six years behind bars. Even more mind-boggling is that the violent man who had already beheaded a woman and served time did not seem to learn from his punishment. In the UK, he had already had a run-in with the law when he first arrived there in 2014 after serving his sentence in Holland more murder. He assaulted a member of staff at Gatwick Airport but was not jailed for it at the time.
Quite rightly, the Tory MP Henry Smith of Crawley expressed concern that a violent offender had been allowed into the UK.
He told the Daily Mail, "A very dangerous individual was allowed to travel here without us having prior knowledge that he'd committed murder in the Netherlands." He also went on to question how this violent offender information could not be passed to UK authorities by the EU?
Violent offenders, immigration and excuses for bad behaviour
What are your feelings on foreign criminal nationals being able to enter the UK, especially if they have a history of violent crime?
According to his defence lawyers, Piruz was under "stress" as he was not coping well with adapting to life in the UK. They cited the stress of driving on the left-hand side of the road as one of the things he had struggled to adapt to. Was that enough reason to go berserk and attack the police? Was that justification for getting involved in assaulting a staff member at Gatwick upon his immediate arrival?

NAD Electronics' Masters M10 BluOS® Streaming Amplifier Awarded Top Honour by World's Most Prestigious Hi-Fi Press
EISA Editors voted to recognise its versatility, value, performance, and future-proof design.
PICKERING, CANADA, AUGUST 15, 2019 – NAD Electronics, a leading manufacturer of premium home audio and video products, announced today that the M10 BluOS® Streaming Amplifier from its flagship Masters line of products has won the 2019 EISA Award for Best Smart Amplifier. EISA, the Expert Imaging and Sound Association, is an independent body of over 50 speciality electronics magazines from around the world. The award winners are chosen as the best in their category from the thousands of products tested and reviewed by EISA member magazines over the year. NAD representatives will be accepting the award during the EISA Awards Gala, scheduled for September 6, 2019, in Berlin, Germany.
The editors of EISA's hi-fi audio publications lauded the NAD Masters M10 for its unconventional industrial design, sleek user interface, superior amplifier performance, and premium streaming capabilities through the built-in BluOS® system.
"It took a while for NAD to enter the world of all-in-one network music solutions, but the M10 was worth every moment of the wait, for this sensational little amplifier is also a complete 'just add speakers' music system," said the 2019-2020 EISA Awards Board in an official statement. "The dramatic full-width touchscreen display sets the tone, allowing you to access the full range of the M10's capabilities. These include streaming music services, with BluOS allowing multiroom playback with Bluesound products, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2, plus digital and analogue inputs, an HDMI-ARC connection for TV sound, and even Dirac Live room correction to optimise the sound. Finally, with NAD's HybridDigital amplification onboard, the M10 will drive virtually any partnering speaker – it is a true master of modern music playback."
"The M10 may be seen as a departure for the brand," says Cas Oostvogel, Product Manager at NAD. "The compact form factor, the Gorilla Glass touchscreen, and the streaming capabilities make the M10 an unusual piece compared with others from NAD, but the truth is that we have been making streaming integrated amplifiers since 2016. We knew we needed to bring a different flavour to the streaming amplifier though, since great-sounding music isn't just for hi-fi enthusiasts. We think the M10 nicely straddles the line and appeals to both audiophiles and music lovers who want a modern look and user experience, and the EISA award reinforces this."
With the EISA Awards now in their 32nd year and membership including the leading audio journals from Europe, The Americas, and Asia-Pacific, the results are widely regarded as one of the highest honours in the hi-fi industry. To win an EISA award, products undergo a robust, rigorous and exhaustive judging process in two stages. Following intensive testing and audition at the facilities of EISA member magazines, each journal submits a shortlist of the best products in each awards category. The second stage takes place at EISA's annual General Meeting, where a democratic voting process establishes a consensus of excellence and determines the winning products.
The M10 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is available at select premium audio retailers around the world.

You created a 'sense' for the poem with starkness of the words, not wrapped in sugar coats, which echoed beautifully the feelings that you conveyed. I found the poem as one of your lines, "Crushing and Bruising the Spirit" until you offered the hope of spirit in the final lines. I was captured to read it until the end. I can't think of one word to describe your poem, Lauren; it is as good as beautiful, but speaks first of not a beautiful thing. It is powerful and evocative and I felt it in my soul. Thank you for sharing!
Such a sad love story. It raises questions! Why did he hit her so? Why did he? How could he? This is so sad, Lauren, i could cry!
Sad and moving, very well written.
Thank you, David, I appreciate your positive feedback!
Lauren, very, very moving and sadly beautiful almost to the end, where hope resides in the seeking of light. Truly, truly, forgiving is not equivalent to submitting in darkness. Thank you for such an artistically arranged picture of long-time sadness and pain finally moving into the light!
Thank you, Rose, and I love what you wrote…forgiving is not equivalent to submitting to darkness. I'm glad you found that message in the last verse. Although this is very sad, it is also reality for many women and I wanted to write about it, however, inspiring hope in the end.
Beautiful! I love how you managed to make into a real life story, I could visualize it in front of me!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was "real" for you; your comment means a lot!
Your own words give the best answer … somewhere back in your comments … "I write from the heart and hope my words touch people" … you do, on both counts!! Never feel like you "have to" write a certain way, or conform to rules or forms. Just be yourself and what YOU need to say will come out. That is what connects with others.
What powerful well chosen words. It almost sounds as if you or someone you know has walked along this abusive road. I hope every abused woman will see herself in these words and run like hell!
I didn't wanna like or comment on this one.. was confused of what I felt.
it is captivating no doubt….
But I'm just glad it ENDS on a positive note.
Powerful. Very powerful and beautifully written.

How do you find the right provider of Microsoft products and services? Assuming you want to eliminate luck from the equation, the best option may be to look for the Microsoft Small Business Specialist logo.
Think it's time to move to Microsoft's Small Business Server or some other product from the Redmond, Wash.-based software titan? Having plenty of resellers to choose from isn't a problem, but having too many can be. How's a small business to choose?
In a move designed to help small business narrow the field when it comes to Microsoft-certified partners, the company today announced the Small Business Specialist Community. At its Worldwide Partner Conference 2005, which started today in Minneapolis, Microsoft unveiled what it describes as "competency-like designation" as part of the Microsoft Partner Program.
The goal of the program is simple: to help small businesses more quickly and easily identify technology partners best-suited to support them. To test the program with real small businesses, Microsoft ran pilot programs in Denmark and Italy, according to Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of small business for Microsoft's Small and Midmarket Solutions & Partner Group.
Guggenheimer said that he would like to see the program include about 10,000 small business partners. That may sound like a lot of Small Business Specialists vying for your business, until you consider that Microsoft has about 500,000 partners worldwide.
Microsoft partners that pass the test can display the above logo.
"We want to say 'here are the best partners,' and build a community around it," Guggenheimer said. "Partners want to stand out, they want a visual ID." That small business badge of honor will come in the form of the Microsoft Small Business Specialist logo, which partners can put on their business cards, Web sites, marketing materials and so on.
"With resources like the partner locator tool in the Microsoft Small Business Center site [see Microsoft Gives Small Biz Site a Makeover], we'll make it much easier for small businesses to identify those partners in Microsoft's network that are best able to address their specific needs," Guggenheimer said. "When they search the Small Business Web site, we'll surface those partners and they will appear higher on the results page."
In addition to using the Small Business Specialist logo in marketing materials, after qualifying as a Small Business Specialist, partners have access to training specifically designed for the small business market, marketing materials for reuse and special partner promotions. For example, Guggenheimer said, Computer Associates will offer Small Business Specialists a free copy of Business Protection Suites designed for Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003.
Microsoft also announced that it will work with banking institutions, including Chase Merchant Services LLC, to offer credit card processing for the yet-to-be released Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006. Microsoft reports that it plans to offer multiple bank options. For those customers with existing banking relationships, Microsoft announced that it is working with VeriSign to provide a secure online environment to help prevent disruption to their business. Small Business Accounting 2006 is expected to ship this fall.
Earlier this week, Microsoft previewed a small business version of its CRM for customers using Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition. The new version is designed to offer a simplified installation and an easy migration path from Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager. Microsoft did not release pricing details.


Authenticating historic manuscripts can be a complicated and at times destructive process, with parts of the paper or ink damaged.
However, a cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the University of Glasgow have found a novel way to accurately authenticate ancient documents in a minimally destructive way.
The findings, published in Scientific Reports, present a technique called direct infusion mass spectrometry, which uses a method of minimally destructive sample extraction directly from the paper surface. The team analysed the ink and paper of both authenticated and forged Robert Burns' manuscripts to produce a 'Support Vector Machine classifier' that could accurately distinguish true Burns handwriting from the fakes.
The scientists were also able to distinguish which inks Burns used to write each of his poems, whether it be ivory black, iron gall or a mixture of the two.
The project and findings are the result of collaboration between Dr Karl Burgess of the University's Glasgow Polyomics and the School of Critical Studies, led by Professor Gerard Carruthers, Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature.
With the help of Burns collector Dr William Zachs, the team were able to look at originals and fakes to ascertain the type of ink used, helped by a handwritten book owned by Dr Zachs which contained recipes for all sorts of liquids, including inks.
In total, the team tested 12 documents; three real Burns' documents selected from different periods of the bard's life, and nine fakes from the 1890s by notorious forger Alexander Smith.
The scientists were able to lift ink from the copies using a simple pipetting process that could be performed outside the laboratory, and that crucially did not visibly damage the original material. Tests were initially performed on one of Alexander Smith's handwritten 150 year old fakes before being performed on real Burns' material.
Details of the ink and paper from the 12 documents were analysed, the data gathered and machine-learning algorithms were used to develop a classifier for the documents. The classifier, or 'Support Vector Machine' could then be used to help predict real or fake Burns' manuscripts.
Sixteen significant differences were found distinguishing the Burns and Smith manuscripts. Significant differences between the inks and paper were also detected in Burns manuscripts.
In the The Holy Fair manuscript by Smith and in the letter written by R. Burns, the team detected iron gall ink, and in the Dainty Davie poem by Smith, they detected the presence of ivory black. In the Five Carlins manuscript by Burns, they detected both ink features, demonstrating that Burns, as was common at the time, mixed inks to obtain a desired lustre and consistency in his writing.
Dr Burgess said: "Through this technique we now know some things about Burns that we never knew before. However we're particularly excited about that fact that we have a new way of providing more evidence for a fake or a real manuscript if one turns up, and we have a technique that we can apply to any manuscript to gain more information about it.
"The simplicity of the sample preparation method we used means that the sampling can be easily performed at the site where the manuscripts are stored, which in turn could make it an ideal technique for auction houses to confirm authenticity.
The study, 'Non-destructive atmospheric ionisation mass spectrometry authenticates authorship of historical manuscripts' is published in Scientific Reports. The work was funded and supported by the Scottish Funding Council, Wellcome, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
