آنیلین به‌عنوان یک ترکیب سخت تجزیه‌پذیر در پساب بسیاری از صنایع وجود دارد. هدف از انجام این مطالعه تعیین کارایی فرایند شناورسازی با هوای محلول در حذف آنیلین از محیط‌های آبی بود. در این مطالعه کاربردی-تجربی از پایلوت شناورسازی با هوای محلول در مقیاس آزمایشگاهی استفاده شد. پس از تعیین شرایط بهینهpH و دز پلی آلومینیوم کلراید توسط آزمایش جار، تأثیر پارامترهای مؤثر در فرایند شناورسازی با هوای محلول، شامل غلظت ماده منعقدکننده (10، 20، 30، 40 و 60 میلی‌گرم در لیتر)، زمان لخته‌سازی (5، 10، 15 و 20 دقیقه)، زمان شناورسازی (5، 10، 15 و 20 ثانیه) ، فشار اشباع (3،5/3، 4 و 5/4 اتمسفر) و کدورت NTU) 60، 40، 30، 20 و 10) بر میزان کاهش پارامترهای COD و آنیلین محاسبه شد. نتایج نشان داد که فرایند شناورسازی با هوای محلول می‌تواند پارامترهایCOD و آنیلین را به‌ترتیب به میزان 6/86 درصد و 95 درصد در pH برابر 6، غلظت اولیه آنیلین معادل200 میلی‌گرم در لیتر، زمان لخته‌سازی 10 دقیقه، زمان شناورسازی 20 ثانیه، فشار اشباع 4 اتمسفر و غلظت 20 میلی‌گرم در لیتر PAC کاهش دهد. همچنین نتایج حاکی از آن بود که با افزایش کدورت در فرایند شناورسازی، راندمان حذف کاهش می‌یابد.با توجه به نتایج به‌دست آمده از این تحقیق می‌توان بیان داشت که فرایند شناورسازی با هوای محلول می‌تواند روش مؤثری برای حذف آنیلین از محیط‌های آبی باشد.
Aniline is an almost undegradable compound found in many industrial effluents. It was the objective of this lab-scale applied-experimental study to determine the efficiency of the dissolved air flotation process in the removal of aniline from aquatic environments. Initially, the optimal conditions of pH and dosage of poly-aluminum chloride were determined using the jar test. The parameters involved in the dissolved air flotation process including coagulant concentration (10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 mg.l‒1), coagulation time (5, 10 , 15, and 20 min), flotation time (5, 10, 15, and 20 s), saturation pressure (3.5 / 3, 4, and 5.4 atmospheres), and turbidity (10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 NTU) on the reduction of COD and aniline were then calculated. Results showed that the dissolved air flotation process was capable of reducing COD and aniline by 86.6% and 95%, respectively (at pH = 6, an initial aniline concentration of 200 mg/ L, a coagulation time of 10 min, a flotation time of 20 s, a saturation pressure of 4 atmospheres, and a concentration of 20 mg/L PAC). It was also shown that removal efficiency declines with increasing turbidity. It may, therefore, be claimed that the dissolved air flotation process is an effective method of removing aniline from aquatic environments.

Build an output string first using normal string functions and maybe the vb Format function. Then prefix that string with echo and Shell it out.
To print you should first work out how to print on your particular operating system, then use Shell to issue that command to the system.
You might consider writing to a text file first, then close and print that entire file to the console or a printer.
I am typing from my Linux box.
I don't have Geany here so everything non graphic is on the terminal straight away.
I compile and run via the terminal and I can use gedit as an editor (Although gedit only shows C syntax for .c files).
Anyway, I'll let you mess with shell, but the crt functions write to the console while print of course writes to any graphics screen.
print "Hello from grahics screen"
printf() is faster than puts()..
printf( "n = " + str(n) ) ' How do you get a new line??
I fumbled around like normal and discovered the answer..
fb also uses it the same way, but you must remember the escape character !
printf( !"%s\n n = " , str(a) ) ' How do you get a new line??
I have a Linux question.
If I make a folder called bin in my home folder then any executables in it are on the system path.
So if I put a graphics executable inside it (graph1) say, then I can open a terminal anywhere, type graph1 and it will run.
But with a console (terminal) only file in the bin folder nothing happens.
Also clicking on a graphics executable (like in windows) will run it.
But clicking a non graphics executable does nothing.
How can you make a terminal fb program clickable?
How can you run a terminal fb program from another location, that is if I put it in the bin folder how can I run it from the desktop?
No satisfying answer yet however. The problem probably is that there is not 1 terminal, but possibly multiple terminal-applications. FBC does not know which one to start. The program BTW does start in the background (and probably remains there until reboot or manual 'kill').
I, in this case, just open a terminal first (at the location of the program), and type ./program. Often, in the file manager, you can say open in terminal (here). Which reduces the use of 'cd location'.

Heres the timings of my n XOR 2^??

For the *.exe running , you have to open the folder , and click on the *.exe....or icon it to our desktop..
You can right click on a file , and select the program you want to open it with..
I'm not an expert on Linux..
add a colon+the-path-to-your-folder and save, quit terminal.
If you right click inside your home folder, choose create folder, and call the new folder bin, you have all executables you may put into this bin folder on path.
This is where I keep my compiled fb programs.
I see that It works with both terminal and graphics programs.
For instance I can run any of them from a desktop terminal if I type the name.
My quest is to make compiled fb console (terminal) programs start on a click.(badidea also mentioned this).
I think some shell or system command is needed in the code to start a terminal and use it for output by the program via the mouse click.
I don't know how your code is faster , since you use a logic function in each???? Makes me wonder???
Merry Christmas to all the squares.
When an addition is performed, the XOR produces the sum of the bits while AND is used to generate the carry. That is why (a + b) - ( a and b ) shl 1 removes the carry and so leaves only the XOR function. It is not my formula, I have seen it around since the 1960's.
The logical COMPlement function is fundamental to digital computers. The AND and OR functions come next.
From COMP, AND and OR you can make the XOR function and do comparisons.
Once you have XOR, with the AND, you can do ADDition and SUBtraction of binary numbers.
Shifting and adding then make it possible to multiply.
Shifting and subtracting make DIVision and REMainder possible, which are the \ and MOD functions in FB.
I cannot see why you are using the slowest possible processes, DIV and MOD, that are fundamentally based on XOR to perform XOR.
Maybe you should turn face and try to write an addition that uses only the bitwise logical functions.
But how can you propagate carry without using the arithmetic function + ?
I will let you experiment with the loop needed for that.
It was 34°C yesterday, but cooler today, so I'm going down to the beach for a swim before Christmas dinner.
A sink or swim addition to Albert's chest.
I'm trying to write all the logic functions... you can't use logic in them unless you create a logic function.

Hitachi EMIEW3 Customer Service Robot Runs On A 'Remote Brain'
By Brittany Roston/April 11, 2016 7:07 pm EST
Hitachi has a new robot, and it's poised to take on Softbank's Pepper. The new robot is called EMIEW3, which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and it's humanoid in shape with a "remote brain" platform. The robot — or some future version of it — could be deployed in stores to seek and approach customers, offering assistance when applicable. The original version of this robot, EMIEW, was introduced in 2005.
Following the original EMIEW was the second generation, EMIEW2, introduced in 2007. This latest model represents the newest developments and technology, building upon previous features to "efficiently provide customer and guidance services" that include directly helping a customer who has asked for it, approaching people and asking if they need assistance, and talking with other robots deployed in a store.
At the core of EMIEW3 is a so-called remote brain that can process images, voice, and languages. Unlike humans, the robots could also be tapped into a larger network to learn about the store's present conditions and needs. For example, network cameras can be set up and with them the robot can see how many customers are present and where they're located, enabling it to seek them out directly.
The robots are also designed to talk with each other, and as such the remote operation system can send data from one to another, allowing for the "smooth transition of services." Finally, the new robot model has an improved body that weighs 15kg and is 90cm tall. This model can travel at speeds up to 6km/h, and adjusts its rate of movement to match that of nearby humans. If someone knocks it over, this latest model can right itself.

In National capital region (NCR), petrol and diesel prices have gone down too. Petrol prices in Gurgaon, Noida are Rs 77.11 per litre and Rs 77.42 per litre respectively.
The government has been thinking over an array of alternatives to provide relief to the common man from fuel prices which soared just after Karnataka election. Industry body ASSOCHAM has said that reducing taxes is the best solution to check the spurt in fuel prices which would also tremendously help India on the exports front. However, according to a recent Moody's report, any excise duty cut will weigh on India's sovereign credit profile. According to the global credit rating agency, any reduction in the excise duty on petroleum and diesel products in view of high crude oil prices, would exert negative pressure on India's sovereign credit profile.

Hey Amel, Tommy Lehmann here. I always support kids who are involved in golf.
I wish that I started golfing at an early age, then I might be able to compete with Tiger Woods by now. :) Great lens.
I think parents are now aware of the importance of starting early in golf. Keep up the good work.

About Harvard JLPP
The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy is published three times annually by the Harvard Society for Law & Public Policy, Inc., an organization of Harvard Law School students.
The Journal is one of the top five most widely circulated law reviews and the nation's leading forum for conservative and libertarian legal scholarship.
The late Stephen Eberhard and former Senator and Secretary of Energy E. Spencer Abraham founded the journal forty years ago and many journal alumni have risen to prominent legal positions in the government and at the nation's top law firms.


Biden called the Democrat — who, if elected, would be the first Latina to serve as the state's top legal officer — "the real deal" in a statement.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has endorsed Arizona attorney general candidate January Contreras, the former Obama administration official working to oust Republican AG Mark Brnovich this fall.
Biden called the Democrat — who, if elected, would be the first Latina to serve as the state's top legal officer — "the real deal" in a statement provided to The Arizona Republic by the Contreras campaign.
"January worked alongside my team and I when she served on the White House Council on Women and Girls, and led efforts to combat violence against women in the Obama-Biden Administration," said Biden, whose old-school style has traditionally appealed to moderate voters.
"I support January because she's exactly the type of tough and dedicated public servant who will put Arizona's families first," he said.
Biden's endorsement described Contreras as an "attorney who uses the courtroom to protect the people of Arizona" and "a fourth-generation Arizonan who loves her state enough to fight for it."
The former vice president's involvement in a state-level race signals Democrats' desire to keep or nab key legal posts throughout the country in a year when attorneys general have intervened in a series of national policy fights.
From travel restrictions placed on Muslim-majority countries to the "zero tolerance" immigration protocol that separated children and parents at the border, the lawyers have played a central role in challenging the legality of decisions made by the Trump administration.
Incumbent AG Brnovich — who himself has joined high-profile legal fights, such as the 20-state effort to repeal part of the Affordable Care Act — has a clear advantage in conservative Arizona.
Contreras has worked in the AG's Office before, focusing on elder abuse and health-care fraud as assistant attorney general. She also fought health-insurance cuts as an aide to former Gov. Janet Napolitano.
In the non-profit sector, she founded Arizona Legal Women and Youth Services to provide lawyers to children and young adults who have experienced homelessness, problems in the foster-care system and other trauma. She volunteered on the board of directors of the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence.
At the federal Department of Homeland Security, Contreras helped establish the Council on Combating Violence Against Women.
She was part of the White House Council on Women and Girls and helped develop the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security.
In southern Arizona's CD2 race, Democrats have choice: Play it safe or go left?

Measures to help in students learning
STUDENTS in forms 3, 5 and 6 are given specific units by Ministry of Education and Human Resources to prepare for their exams towards end of this year.
Also, students in non-examination classes are guided by their teachers with right subjects to learn from.
This came about following five months of learning loss due to the covid-19 pandemic that affected face-to-face learning between students and teachers.
Minister Lanelle Tanangada confirmed this when asked by Member of Parliament for Small Malaita, Rick Hou in Parliament on Tuesday.
"Definitely, looking at the curriculum materials, in reality, 40 weeks to cover everything in 27 weeks is not possible for teachers to squeeze everything within.
"So, what we are focussing on is the examinable classes. We gave specification of units that teachers really need to cover so that students can sit their exams and progress to the next," she said.
Tanangada said for the other students, they are hoping that at least teachers cover main things that students need to learn and they will continue to catch up in the next year or so.
Furthermore, Lanelle said from the ministry level down to schools, they really want to encourage parents to send their children to schools.
She said there was an allowance for students to repeat as the minister has power for students to repeat.
Tanangada said not only Solomon Islands is experiencing this, other countries are affected by covid 19.
She said in terms of getting in classroom, definitely there will be spaces in provinces, only town is full.
Moreover, Tanangada said the ministry will review the continue learning programme broadcasted on SIBC because schools have resumed classes.
She said the feedback from the radio programme is not good because students get use to face to face learning.
Further to that, she said UNESCO and UNICEF is supporting the ministry on e-learning on schools throughout the country.

"Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists". Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund (2003-2007).
Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
Throughout his three-year term as governor of the Reserve Bank of India, a central figure in the world's third-largest economy, Dr. Raghuram Rajan both witnessed and helped shape the transformation of the global financial system. He now discusses the potential risks and rewards that face the major players in the global market—nations and corporations—and where the future of international economic policy is headed.
Business and Management · Economics and Political · Economy
Raghuram Rajan was the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, having taken charge of India's central banking institution on 4 September 2013, and succeeding Duvvuri Subbarao. He is currently the Vice Chairman of the Bank for International Settlements. Raghuram Rajan is currently taking a leave of absence as the Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
Prior to resuming teaching in 2007, Raghuram was Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund. Since then, he has chaired the Indian government's Committee on Financial Sector Reforms, which submitted its report in 2008.
Raghuram's research interests are in banking, corporate finance, and economic development, especially the role finance plays in it. His papers have been published in all the top economics and finance journals, and he has served on the editorial board of the American Economic Review and the Journal of Finance. He has recently written a book which won the Goldman Sachs Book of the Year award entitled "Fault Lines: How Hidden Cracks Still Threaten the World Economy". He also has an earlier book co-authored with Luigi Zingales entitled Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists.
He is a senior advisor to BDT Capital, Booz and Co, and is on the international advisory board of Bank Itau-Unibanco. He is a director of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and on the Comptroller General of the United State's Advisory Council.
Raghuram Rajan is also President of the American Finance Association and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2003, the American Finance Association awarded Raghuram the inaugural Fischer Black Prize, given every two years to the financial economist under age 40 who has made the most significant contribution to the theory and practice of finance
A distinguished economist with an intrinsic respect for the many risks that face the global market, Dr. Rajan explains how adopting sound and responsible policies will prevent the next great financial crisis. In his Financial Times "Business Book of the Year," "Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy" (2010), Dr. Rajan offered a prescient diagnosis of the economic and political consequences of growing inequality in industrial countries. He knows that the future need not be dark—opportunities and rewards await those with the patience and discipline to work for a better world.
The Monetary Dilemma.
The Global Economic Outlook – the Opportunities and Challenge.
Democracy and Capitalism.
Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists.
Easy money is having diminishing effect after years of accommodative policies. Dr. Raghuram Rajan weighs the significant risks incorporated by doing much more, with the difficulties of exiting from easy money. Not only will the first central bank that moves face significant costs, they could also be accused of failing their domestic mandate of maintaining inflation at reasonable levels. Dr. Rajan discusses possible ways policy could evolve, as well as the consequences to global asset prices, inflation and risk.
Even while overall growth seems tepid, tremendous financial opportunities still exist for both states and corporations. But with those opportunities, challenges are building. Dr. Raghuram Rajan knows this from firsthand experience—as governor of the Reserve Bank of India, he played a central role in the third-largest (and growing) economy in the world. In this discussion, he analyzes the economic impact of specific, targeted "global players"—large countries and common global forces—as opposed to a general overview of the world.
Democracy and capitalism tend to strengthen each other, across countries and over time, but not always. Dr. Raghuram Rajan describes the peculiar confluence of forces that are causing a wedge between democratic forces and markets today and why this is being expressed in the political movements we see. He argues that to preserve what is good in the global system of trade and finance, we need countries, especially large emerging markets, to step up and take leadership to move the dialogue forward. At the same time, industrial countries have to pay attention to domestic political demands to slow, or reverse, globalization and find ways to make angry citizens less anxious about the future. Dr. Rajan will discuss some policy options that could address these wide-ranging and impactful issues.
Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy
Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists
Rajan shows how the individual choices that collectively brought about the economic meltdown--made by bankers, government officials, and ordinary homeowners--were rational responses to a flawed global financial order in which the incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening fault lines in a world overly dependent on the indebted American consumer to power global economic growth and stave off global downturns. He exposes a system where America's growing inequality and thin social safety net create tremendous political pressure to encourage easy credit and keep job creation robust, no matter what the consequences to the economy's long-term health; and where the U.S. financial sector, with its skewed incentives, is the critical but unstable link between an overstimulated America and an underconsuming world.
In Fault Lines, Rajan demonstrates how unequal access to education and health care in the United States puts us all in deeper financial peril, even as the economic choices of countries like Germany, Japan, and China place an undue burden on America to get its policies right. He outlines the hard choices we need to make to ensure a more stable world economy and restore lasting prosperity.
Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists is a groundbreaking book that will radically change our understanding of the capitalist system, particularly the role of financial markets. They are the catalyst for inspiring human ingenuity and spreading prosperity. The perception of many, especially in the wake of never-ending corporate scandals, is that financial markets are parasitic institutions that feed off the blood, sweat, and tears of the rest of us. The reality is far different.
This book breaks free of traditional ideological arguments of the Right and Left and points to a new way of understanding and spreading the extraordinary wealth-generating capabilities of capitalism.

Part of what we try do here is educate and clear up any confusion around the mobile barcode space. One big misunderstanding is the difference between QR Codes and 2D barcodes. Often times, people use them interchangeably which is making a lot of people pretty confused. While some may say its semantics, it's really important at this stage in the technology to be educated around what is what.
2-D, or two-dimensional barcodes are really any geometric pattern of images or modules that can be read by an optical scanner. Under that category, there is a wide variety of different code formats or symbologies.
QR Codes can be very different than other types of codes formats, like Datamatrix or EZcode, which are actually more widely used in some developed countries. For example, there is no official QR endorsement by any standards bodies in the US. There are many properties of a QR Code which we won't go into right now, but one big area is the data to size ratio; a QR Code contains the data directly in the code (therefore it is a "Direct" code), so the more data, the bigger or more complex the code will get.
The real value for 2D codes over time is its ability to link people directly to relevant content to shorten navigation. So, sending someone to a landing page and asking them to click through to deep links is not as compelling as taking them directly to a specific URL – which can be quite long.
Yes, there are ways to get around the QR Code size issue (like using a URL shortener), and there are other code formats that do not use this same Direct model.
The main point here is that a QR code is just one type 2D code, which may be quite different than another. Of course, please feel free to ask for Kleenex as much as you want!

DeSoto County School District received a congratulatory visit from the Mississippi Department of Education on December 8th.
The state school superintendent visited all 15 "A" districts, and has labeled the visits as the "Celebration of Excellence" tour. There are 147 school districts in Mississippi.
This is the second year in a row that Dr. Wright has visited DeSoto County Schools. Last year, Lewisburg Middle School served as host. DeSoto County Schools has maintained an "A" rating for five consecutive years. All eight middle and high schools were graded either an "A" or "B". Lewisburg High School and Hernando High School were named as the top two high schools in the state, and Lewisburg Middle School, DeSoto Central Middle School, and Center Hill Middle School were named as the top three middle schools in the state.
Superintendent Cory Uselton introduced elected officials who attended the event, including Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite, Olive Branch Mayor Scott Phillips, Walls Mayor Patti Denison, Supervisor Lee Caldwell and MS Representative Ashley Henley. He introduced members of his "Teacher Advisory Council" who are the "Teachers of the Year" from their respective schools and serve as advisors to the superintendent. He also recognized principals and Central Services employees who were in attendance.
"It is a challenge to be the biggest school district in the state," Uselton said. "We are like a giant puzzle—every piece is important. There can be no missing pieces in a puzzle and there can be no missing pieces in a school district. Our theme for this school year is 'Raise the Bar', and all of our employees are already working hard to make sure that we continue to help our students improve."
Five new school districts earned an "A" rating for the 2016-17 school year. They are Lamar County School District, Poplarville School District, Union County School District, Pearl Public School District and Newton County Schools.
Other school systems earning an "A" include Petal Public School District, Booneville School District, Oxford Public School District, Ocean Springs School District, Biloxi Public School District, Long Beach School District, Madison County School District, Clinton Public School District and Enterprise School District.
Mississippi Department of Education recognized DeSoto County Schools at their December Board Meeting. Superintendent Uselton and DCS high school principals attended the meeting.
Dr. Carey Wright, Mississippi Superintendent of Education, said, ""This achievement by DeSoto County School District is an example of what can happen when we open doors of opportunity for students. The Mississippi Department of Education is committed to increasing AP classes for students to take challenging college-level coursework in high school so that they are better prepared for college, career and life. I congratulate all the teachers, administrators and staff in the district on this outstanding honor."
Dr. April Holifield-Scott is the coordinator of the AP classes across the district. This is the second year in a row that DeSoto County Schools has received this award, and it is the third time overall.
To be placed on the Honor Roll, districts must not only increase the number of students participating in AP courses but also increase or maintain the number of students earning AP exam scores of 3 or higher. There are 447 school districts in the United States and Canada that achieved this credential.
According to the AP Honor Roll's website, the College Board, founded in 1900, is a not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity through programs and services in college readiness and college success.
Improve or maintain performance levels at which more than 70 percent of its AP students earn a three or higher.
We are making plans for the 2018-19 school year. If you know anyone that may be applying for a teaching position with DeSoto County Schools in the spring, please share this information regarding our first-ever Teacher Career Fair. We are committed to recruiting the best and brightest teachers to DeSoto County Schools, and we are excited about this event. This will give our principals an opportunity to meet teaching candidates, and applicants will have an opportunity to meet administrators from all of our schools. Stay tuned for more information.
When schools, families and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer and enjoy school more.
Greenbrook Elementary School's PTO worked two years to raise $35,000 for an outdoor classroom and playground equipment.
There is a jungle gym, a balance area and a covered space for outdoor classes. Soon, there will be orange and blue rubberized material as ground cover to cushion the equipment.
"Research shows that being active improves academics," said Greenbrook Principal Melynda Crockett.
How do students like the new additions?
Heather Yeager is the co-president of the PTO and Melissa Funderburk has been treasurer for the past three years.
Hernando High School Assistant Band Director Victoria Jones and Lewisburg High School Band Director Kim Hallmark.
Mississippi's most outstanding band directors teach at DeSoto County Schools.
The Mississippi Bandmaster's Association selected Lewisburg High School Band Director Kim Hallmark as the Phi Beta Mu Outstanding Band Director for 2017, and Hernando High School Assistant Band Director Victoria Jones as the A.E. McLain Outstanding Young Band Director at the annual statewide conference in Natchez, MS.
The two top awards are presented to teachers who demonstrate an exceptionally high level of competence as band directors and have developed comprehensive band programs. Award recipients have programs that contribute educationally to the school, and provide service to their community.
Hallmark has been recognized for excellence in her field before. Lewisburg Band program placed 3rd in the 5A Marching Championship this year. The program has won six state championship titles and four runner-up titles in the school's short history. The Lewisburg band program has also received consistent superior ratings during the concert season.
Hallmark, a native of Hernando and 2004 graduate of Hernando High School, inherited a successful program five years ago. She was assistant band director and head of the middle school program.
"I am completely humbled to be chosen for such an award by my colleagues. I am incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to be involved with the Lewisburg Band program and to have incredible mentors that have mentored me in this profession," said Hallmark.
Victoria Jones was nominated by her Band Director Len Killough. The award she won was named after A.E. McLain.
"I was floored to be chosen. The award has a rich history and is named after a legend. I am honored that the judges thought I embodied the memory of A.E. McLain. He is remembered for mentoring young directors," Jones said.
"Band is a lifestyle choice," she said. "It is a year-round job that keeps kids busy in a positive way and helps them develop self-discipline.
Brooklyn Stewart and Teacher Ashley Riley showcase one of the projects that they will take to class at Disney World.
An extensive classroom project at Southaven Middle School has resulted in ten students attending class at Disney World in Orlando, Florida in January, according to 8th grade Pre-AP ELA teacher Ashley Riley.
The trip is a part of the Disney Youth Education Series. Different types of classes at Disney offer student learning enhancement outside the classroom.
Students read The Magic Kingdom: 7 Keys to Disney's Success and were required to work in groups to create a plan for a new Disney resort hotel, instantly becoming "Imagineers," designing everything from the building to the pools, lobby, restaurants, rooms, menus and activities.
Riley said she has taught this unit before and always wanted to do more with the book and project, so she reached out to representatives at Disney and learned about the Disney Youth Education Series that offers a variety of classes, takes students on a "behind the scenes tour" of the facility, and gives the students access to discounted Park tickets.
"I knew this would enable me to take the book and project to the next level," she said.
Students understood that their project and presentation of the project would determine which ten students would attend Walt Disney World for the Disney Youth Education Series. They also understood they would have to raise the money to go on the trip.
"Our parents have worked diligently, and we received support from the Southaven community and city leaders," said Riley.
The cost per student and per sponsor is $508.60 for the five day trip. This includes meals at Disney, transportation and hotel accommodations.
Brooklyn Stewart is one of the ten students who will experience the Disney Youth Education Series firsthand. She will take her project, as well as five additional classroom projects, to present to Disney officials. Her project is named "Disney Villains Resort" and features infamous villains such as Cruella DeVille, Captain Hook and Ursula.
While industry leaders and business professionals munched on the culinary students' Christmas cookies and sipped steaming hot chocolate, they learned how Career & Technology Centers are preparing students for college and careers through instructional partnerships with DeSoto County Schools and the local business community.
More than 100 visitors came to the Open House and learned how Career & Technology education helps prepare students for well-paying jobs in fields like engineering, robotics, computer-aided design, logistics, medical and health sciences, culinary, automotive and building trades. DeSoto County Schools has two campuses, CTC-West and CTC-East.
"The basic philosophy of our Career-Tech Centers is to provide students with entry level skills for a job in the field they have studied. Our goal is also to prepare students to further their education by entering a technical school, community college, or a four-year university," said CTC-West Principal Allyson Killough.
Mike Perkins, vice president of sales for ADSi, a safety software company, said his company would be interested in an internship program.
"I had no idea how extensive these programs are," he said. His company, located in Southaven, writes and produces public safety software that is used throughout the United States.
Andrew Douglas, the morning anchor at WMCTV, toured the facilities and worked with the Digital Media students conducting live interviews.
In Digital Media, students learn photography and photo editing, print production and design, audio production, motion graphics, video production and fundamentals of 3D Graphics.
Whenever possible, students work to earn national certifications in their fields. Eight Career and Technical programs are offered, providing a minimum of two years of technical training to students. The courses offered are Health Sciences, Digital Media Technology, Information Technology, Robotics and Engineering, Culinary Arts, Automotive Technology, Construction Technology and Metal Fabrication.
Giving back to the Mid-South community is the mission of the RiverKings Hockey Team.
Each year, the RiverKings host the Face Off Field Trip, an educational hockey game field trip to get students excited about learning while watching hockey. Every student was given an educational workbook and the problems were discussed during breaks in the game. Hockey was incorporated to teach geography, physics, healthy choices, math skills and word skills.
This year the RiverKings raised more than $4,600 for the DeSoto County School District's Superintendent's Youth Leadership Council (SYLC), a group of students representing all eight DeSoto County high schools.
SYLC is primarily a student-led organization. Sponsors are Hernando High School Counselor Anne Goss and DeSoto Central High School U.S. History Teacher Jeff Shands. SYLC is a two-year program. One year, the program focuses on entrepreneurship. The next year, students study government and politics. SYLC fosters growth in communication skills, develops confidence and self-esteem, teaches financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Participants are also introduced to the political world. Students raise money for the program. Additionally, it is supplemented by grants from the Maddox Foundation, the Homer Skelton Foundation and the Delta Regional Foundation.
Hernando Middle School had its 25th anniversary of being officially accredited. HMS principals past and present were recognized by the DeSoto County School Board. AdvancED and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS) are the accrediting agencies. Receiving the award are, from left, Therman Richardson, Jerry Darnell, AdvancEd Director Dr. Keith Shaffer, Dr. Jerry Floate, Rob Chase and Paul Chrestman.
Counselors at Hernando Middle School won the Mississippi Counseling Association's "School Counseling Program of the Year." Meredith Quinn and Candie Garrison were recognized by the DeSoto County School Board. Last spring they earned the title of having a RAMP Certified Counseling Program. They are pictured with Rob Chase, former principal of HMS and current Chief Operating Officer of DeSoto County Schools, and Dr. Jerry Floate, principal of HMS.
Fifth grade student Cooper Rye was so excited about "dissection day" at Lewisburg Elementary School that he could not sleep, according to his mother Kim Rye.
Holly Engberg is Cooper's teacher at Lewisburg Elementary. She earned a grant from the Foundation for Excellence in Education through the DeSoto Economic Council for her students to perform a hands-on experiment with the guidance of the best minds in the region, exposing young students to the wonders of science. Baptist Memorial Hospital—DeSoto funded the $500 grant.
When writing her grant request, Engberg involved her students. Their interests were varied, so she decided to let students' interests dictate their groups. Students dissected a sheep brain, pig heart, squid and a frog. Dressed in surgical gear donated by Baptist-DeSoto, the young scientists hung onto every word the experts said. The students often asked questions if they needed clarification.
"Just how do you get the sack off the heart?" one student asked.
Prior to the day of dissection, much work was completed on the unit of study on organisms and the human body.
"I think these young people are our future," said Dr. Yaser Cheema, a Stern Cardiovascular cardiologist who practices at Baptist-DeSoto. Cheema told the students about his passion for preventing and treating heart disease and then supervised the pig heart dissection, step by step. He also stressed the importance of using sharp tools carefully.
John DeFazio is a wildlife biologist. He oversaw the dissections of the frog and the squid. He asked his group to locate the frog's tongue, and then explained how a frog uses his tongue to catch its food.
"Frogs' tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans," he said. "A frog throws its sticky tongue out of its mouth and catches its prey," he added.
Cornerstone Church in Southaven brought Christmas gifts for every boy and girl at Southaven Elementary School -- all 800 of them. Cornerstone understands the power of community support for children and wanted to make sure each student was honored with a present for Christmas.


I'm doing some validation of a model, and the Uniqueness validator is creating a weird query.
Of course that returns 0, so the validation passes - even though there's already a record with a name of 'CourseAdd'.
I don't know of any reason why the query should be built like that, so I'm guessing it's a Phalcon bug - but I thought I'd ask here first.
Hmmm it looks like name is primary key? If yes then when record alredy exists in database then phalcon will ignore current value of primary key attribute. So we don't have record itself counted when doing update. Im guessing you need to update your schema like add id to change primary key. You can use findFirsyByName to still find it pretty easly without creating parameters for findFirst.
Changing the primary key worked.
Is this behaviour documented somewhere? It seems like a non-obvious side-affect.
Not documented beacause it's kind of obvious. If you do update on current model and you have uniqueness you don't want current model to be counted, right? Otherwise you would have always non unique attribute when updating.
Yes, that makes sense, but it's not obvious to me at all that this behaviour is because of that. If I set up a uniqueness validator, it means I just want the validated column to be unique - period. What role the column has in the database shouldn't matter.
It should matter, beacause you don't want current value of current record to be part of uniqueness when updating model. So if column is primary key and you are doing uniqueness on it then obviously you don't want records with current primary key to be count.

When we educate people about lightning and lightning protection we have found that there are a number of widely held wives-tales and myths about lightning and lightning rods that need to be corrected in order for people to come to understand how a lightning protection system functions. Lightning protection was invented, as you may know, by Ben Franklin in the 1750's. Thus as a concept lightning protection dates back 250 plus years. That's 250 years to develop and improve the system along with 250 years to perpetuate a number of misconceptions. Even many school textbooks incorrectly explain lightning protection.

Memories, tears, celebration, and inspiration combined into a lasting message by Helen Brunner as she delivered the 36th Everett C. Parker Ethics in Telecommunications lecture October 11 to a packed house of media justice advocates, policy makers and faith leaders in Washington, D.C.
Brunner, a longtime philanthropist and the founding director of the Media Democracy Fund in Washington, D.C., was honored along with two other media justice advocates during the lecture and awards breakfast held at First Congregational UCC. Gigi Sohn, a distinguished fellow at Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law and Policy and a Benton Foundation Fellow, received the Everett C. Parker Award, in recognition of 30 years of work in support of greater public access to affordable and open broadband technologies. Kevin Sampson, founder and director of the D.C. Black Film Festival, received the Donald H. McGannon Award in recognition of his contributions to advancing the role of women and persons of color in the media.
While she touched on her first experience with Everett Parker's work — an assignment as a young student in the D.C. public schools on how African Americans were depicted on local television shows — Brunner spent most of her time addressing the burn-out factor and mental health needs of social justice advocates, who often can find themselves with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Brunner told the audience that she "almost died from her own self-inflicted pressures," but that since she had stepped down from directing the Media Democracy Fund, she had addressed her own mental health issues and learned more about PTSD.
Media justice advocates have watched the work of "decades-long battles … be destroyed with a stroke of a pen," Brunner said. "Organizers, activists and advocates are … fairly exhausted and overwhelmed," and living in a "fight, flight or freeze mode."
Brunner emphasized that good work can still be done, but that social justice work will "go better if you protect your mental, physical, and spiritual heath. Your work will be more effective and creative if it comes from expansive rather than constrictive thoughts, if it comes from love rather than fear."
She drove the point home — and provided a break for attendees — by leading a meditation exercise and encouraging them to bat beach balls around the sanctuary of the church.
Sohn discovered Parker's legacy during her early days at the Ford Foundation, when she came across a copy of the ruling that Warren Burger — then chief justice of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — made in Parker's landmark case establishing that the public could participate in matters before the Federal Communications Commission. She, too, concentrated her remarks on the needs of the present.
"In these difficult times, when much of what we have worked for so hard and for so long is being dismantled, we should all strive to be like Everett," Sohn said. "His was an uphill battle, too, also during a dark time in our country's history. Nevertheless, he persisted — as we will, too."
A juxtaposition of several incidents solidified Kevin Sampson's call to increase the voice of women and people of color in media. As a Google Next Generation Policy Leader, he had been sitting on the floor of the ping pong room at Google when he received word that his grandmother had died. Arriving home, he learned that his 6-year-old daughter had told her mother that she wished her skin was white. That was followed by having to teach his 3-year-old son that he couldn't pretend he was shooting a gun made out of a plastic card because some people might want to kill him.
Nudged forward by a sense of responsibility to give back for the sacrifices his grandmother had made for him, Sampson created the D.C. Black Film Festival to promote positive images of African Americans and exhibit quality video productions by and about people of African descent. He also launched Picture Lock PR to represent and promote under-promoted stories and independent films.
The film festival holds a "Making Black Lives Matter Through Film" panel discussion. "If the stone of a conversation can have a ripple effect in the pond of care and compassion, and allow my son to make it home safely in the future," Sampson said, "it's worth it."
Sampson also encouraged his audience to keep pushing for justice. "What's the 'why' that will help you push through those late nights, or times when you want to give up?" he asked. "It's in that pure place that we can combat the injustices in our world in an effort to keep the focus on the beauty of it. Because what I've seen is that even when your 'why' comes from a 'selfish,' personal place, there's always someone who can relate and who will benefit from your effort. Its' only truly selfish when we don't act."
OC Inc. is the media justice arm of the United Church of Christ. It was founded in 1959 by the Rev. Everett C. Parker, who was prompted by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to reform television stations in the south, which were doing a poor job of covering the Civil Rights Movement. Its early work included years of litigation that eventually forced the FCC to vacate the broadcast license of WLBT-TV in Jackson, Miss., and established the legal right of all citizens to participate in FCC proceedings. The case continues today to protect citizen rights in the field of media advocacy.
OC Inc. is a leader in media reform by pushing for a more just, accessible, diverse and accountable media, and continues to promote public interests in the media, especially for persons of color, women and children. Learn more here.

MSNBC's Hallie Jackson and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach clashed over the illegal Obama DACA program being rescinded.
Kobach said they could go back to their home country and bring their parents with them.
"I basically got the message that my country doesn't want me here. It's trying to get rid of me and that was, it was very confusing," DACA recipient Angel Romero told MSNBC.
"If you want to be part of the American country, then do it legally. Go to the home country. Your parents who brought you here illegally could go with you," Kobach said.

About 20 years ago, a little company (now owned by the giant Monsanto) created a GMO tomato called Flavr Savr, one of the first GMO foodstuffs approved for consumption in the US. Since that time, farmers all over the world have been using more and more of these genetically modified organisms every single year.
Due to social media and internet health sites, such as Naturalon, the practice of using GMO foods has come under some intense scrutiny. Health activists everywhere are concerned about future human health problems, as well as environmental damage. People everywhere are demanding that foods that have GMO contents should be labeled as such. People have a right to know what they are eating!
A ballot measure in California that would have mandated the labeling of GMO products, failed in 2012. A similar measure lost in Washington State. In both cases, the largest GMO makers, DuPont, Dow Chemical, and Monsanto, all provided funds for ads to deceive and confuse voters.
Many people believe that GMOs are something new, but the fact is, Americans have been consuming products that contain GMO ingredients for years. Although Big Agri continues to tell us that they are safe, they also continue avoiding labels. If their foods are so safe, why are they trying to hide the fact that you are eating them? There are increasing amounts of research that show that GM foods damage ecosystems, cause financial chaos for farmers, cause harm to humans, and release trans genes that could transfer to other life forms, which would have disastrous consequences.
Sometimes trying to avoid consuming GMO products is difficult. If you have a hard time finding foods that aren't GMO at your regular supermarket, try farmers' markets, health food stores, and organic food stores. You could also start your own garden where you can be sure your food is not GMO and is completely organic.
Take a look at the top 10 most popular foods that contain GMOs so you can avoid these products in the future.
These are closely related cousins. Sometimes you will see yellow squash listed as yellow Italian squash or even yellow zucchini. Many people eating gluten free diets, or those who wish to avoid processed foods such as pasta, are using zucchini to make their own type of "pasta." What many of them fail to realize is that unless they are very careful about where they buy their produce, they are most likely using GMO zucchini in their little spiral making machines. Remember that GM foods do not have to be labeled as such, so it's pretty easy to consume these foods without knowing it. To avoid this, it's best to buy your foods from a farmers' market where you can talk to the farmer who grew it. It's almost a given that these types of farmers grow organically, and they won't be using GM seeds, but if you have any doubt, ask them. Most farmers are more than happy to tell you all about the food they have worked so hard to grow.


What makes for success in exploration?
Is it the presence of superior scientists?
Is it superior and persistent organizations?
The odds are best in the shadow of the head frame. This obvious, important principle reflects the fact that ore forming processes tend to occur as multiple events and produce multiple deposits in favorable geologic settings. This is not to say there cannot be isolated deposits such as Bingham, or the cryolite at Ivigtut, or the Kramer borax deposit. However, since deposits do tend to occur in clusters, the odds are improved by exploring in or close to mineral districts, the identified mineral trends, or the extensions of trends. Some groups tend to shy away from expensive district or trend land plays, preferring to go where ground is cheaper. But remember, where land is cheap, it's cheap!
Do not be preoccupied with stereotyped concepts. Avoid overemphasis of such qualities as "ground preparation", "leakage", and yes, structural control, unless they can be clearly correlated with the occurrence of ore in the geologic setting or district being explored. These factors should not override the significance of ore intercepts or other favorable drill-hole or sample results. For years the conventional wisdom in the Republic, Washington, district was that pyroclastic rocks were poor ore hosts; when the drill hit pyroclastic rocks, the hole was stopped. As a consequence, the three ore intercepts of the Golden Promise ore body vein system, drilled in pyroclastic rocks in 1963, were ignored for over 20 years until further work showed that veins in pyroclastics do "make ore."
To find an ore body, you have to drill ore holes. This may seem to be stating the obvious, but each of us knows of deposits that have been over-drilled in the vain hope of improving the grade. Mineral deposits, by definition, have to have continuity and grade to become ore bodies. It follows, that if an "ore hole" cannot be offset by others, there probably is no ore body there. Continued drilling usually results in finding more mineralization or alteration, neither of which can be put through the mill!
Do not be technology driven. Some organizations fall in love with a given geophysical method, with geophysics itself or with other indirect methods, such as satellite imagery, and overuse them, when more direct, simpler methods, such as mapping, sampling, and drilling will give faster, cheaper, and more definitive results.
Acquire first, study later. It is amazing how this basic principle is so often ignored. When a discovery is made and the land play is on, some groups insist on taking samples or doing other work before making a commitment As a consequence, they are commonly left with fringe acreage or a competitor gets the deal.
It's the drill hole, stupid! The geologist cannot substitute his wisdom and cleverness for the drill hole. The problem here is that the scientist believes in the power of the scientific method: more work, more data ought to do the job. And, therefore more work is done because it "offends" many geologists (scientists) to just drill a hole without understanding the geology. On the other hand, there are those who believe that many prospects can be tested by indirect geophysical means. One geologist on a project with which I was associated once said (and believed'), ". . . but we ought to be able to model the anomalies and test them without drilling." Not so!
Always remember: IQ gets you there, but NQ finds it!
This is a re-worked talk that I gave in Denver as the 1993 Denver Region Exploration Society (DREGS) Distinguished Lecture.


As a small or medium sized business, it may feel at times like you're up against 'the man,' with the man being enterprise level corporations that have hundreds of loyal customers, thousands of fans and plenty of expendable resources to use toward marketing and customer retention.
Though competing against the big-wigs can feel like an uphill battle, it doesn't always have to. With great ecommerce management software, the right tools, and some creative marketing, you can actually carve out an advantage against the behemoths of ecommerce.
Research shows that in spite of how great a product may be, 68% of customers will stop supporting a business if they feel that company is indifferent towards them. And the bigger a company gets – the harder it becomes to pay attention to each customer who supports your business.
Take advantage of your ability to reach out to customers in a meaningful way, and use these 4 customer appreciation tips to create your own legion of loyal buyers.
This is one area where ecommerce businesses have the advantage over brick-and-mortar stores, given that you ensure the package makes its way from your warehouse or fulfillment center, all the way to your customer's doorstep.
A handwritten note that thanks customers for their purchase not only communicates that you are an exceptional business owner who looks out for their customers, but is also a great way to add a little nudge towards that buyer leaving a positive review. If you are physically involved with the packing and shipping process, make sure a note is included within each parcel. Take advantage of the packing slip and customize it to include a similar note.
If you sell on your own website or on more creatively lenient sites like Etsy, we recommend throwing in a small freebie with your packages (please note: make sure this practice complies with each marketplace's policies beforehand). This could be a chance for you to show appreciation to repeat customers for another order, or show new customers that you are grateful to them for trying out your business. Here are a few more Etsy selling tips that can help.
Ideally your freebie would be something small and cost effective that makes sense and reinforces your brand. Think about what items are congruent with their purchase, or what could be used alongside it. For example, with every purchase I've ever made from online makeup store NYX Cosmetics, I've received a free lip liner in my box.
When you see customers sharing images and experiences with your brand in their social network, reshare their posts and thank them for being a part of the "team," so to speak. By showing gratitude and empowering them as part of your brand, you will encourage them to continue sharing, which brings you the gift of free PR to reach other potential customers.
Though big companies may do this as well, a small business has the opportunity to engage with their customers more frequently, and often in a more meaningful way.
Let them know how much you appreciate them! It will build brand loyalty and drive future sales. You may even want to consider having loyal fans as "brand ambassadors," and offering them in-store discounts or other rewards for sharing your products on social sites frequently.
For tips on how to capitalize on each social site, read our posts on Pinterest, Instagram and other social selling ideas.
If you have a brick-and-mortar store, make sure to integrate those offline sales with your online sales with an integration-friendly POS software. Then, host a special shopping day for your beloved customers.
Offer 10% off everything in store (or whatever feels comfortable and makes sense for your business), have some goodies to munch on, and turn it into a social event. Regular buyers will bring friends, which will widen your audience reach, and may garner you some free PR on social media if you encourage it in the right ways.
If you only sell online, you can still select a day as your very own customer appreciation holiday and offer 10% off site-wide, new sale items, or free shipping. Let your fans know on social media and through email; invite them to share the news and spread the word. As long as you make it fun for buyers, they will remember the positive experience and will likely remain a loyal customer.
Have you seen some really cool customer appreciation tactics before, either from a company you buy from or something you've done in your own business? Let us know in the comments. One of my favorite customer appreciation moments was when I ordered a card from a stationary seller on Etsy. She sent my package in a thick cardboard envelope, which she painted my name onto in beautiful watercolor script. It was very cool that someone took the time to customize my package like that (PS: I ordered from her again).
