Montserrat Mountain is located near Barcelona in Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain, and its massif is formed by conglomerate interleaved by siltstone/sandstone with steep slopes very prone to rockfalls. The increasing number of visitors in the monastery area, reaching 2.4 million per year, has highlighted the risk derived from rockfalls for this building area and also for the terrestrial accesses, both roads and the rack railway. A risk mitigation plan has been launched, and its first phase during 2014-2016 has been focused largely on testing several monitoring techniques for their later implementation. The results of the pilot tests, performed as a development from previous sparse experiences and data, are presented together with the first insights obtained. These tests combine four monitoring techniques under different conditions of continuity in space and time domains, which are: displacement monitoring with Ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar and characterization at slope scale, with an extremely non-uniform atmospheric phase screen due to the stepped topography and atmosphere stratification; Terrestrial Laser Scanner surveys quantifying the frequency of small or even previously unnoticed rockfalls, and monitoring rock block centimetre scale displacements; the monitoring of rock joints implemented through a wireless sensor network with an ad hoc design of ZigBee loggers developed by ICGC; and, finally, monitoring singular rock needles with Total Station.

Home INFORMATION What is Microsoft's relationship to artificial intelligence and the world of bees?
The bee research we4bee project, supported by the environmental foundation Audi, has become part of Microsoft's "Artificial Intelligence for the Earth" program.
We4bee aims to connect intelligent hives with sensors with cloud storage techniques to conduct long-term analyzes of bee colonies and their environmental data, and to explore the impact of individual factors affecting bees using data-science methods.
Because we4bee has become a member of the Global Artificial Intelligence Network, it has access to current products and services associated with artificial intelligence and has been supported by educational and training programs.
Schools and educational institutions will sponsor and ensure continuous access to bee hives, and bee breeders will also take care of each colony of bee colonies.
Through the application of we4bee, participants will be able to track data transferred from the cell to the storage cloud. This includes information on the settlement of bees, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, weight, noise, and the amount of particulate matter contamination.
Employing the application
Each user can apply the form to compare their hive with other cells whose data are available on the storage cloud. For example, a scanner powered by artificial intelligence techniques and dedicated to flower photography will capture images of flowers, and then display the types of flowers.
Under the banner of "Artificial Intelligence for the Good of Humanity," Microsoft supports institutions and projects that advocate humanitarian issues such as human rights, access, and environmental protection.
Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence for the Earth program also provides researchers and organizations with the use of artificial intelligence to develop new approaches designed to protect water, agriculture, biodiversity, and climate.
Overcome the sanctions
The initiative aims to overcome the great difficulties faced by humanity with the help of artificial intelligence.
"We are proud that we4bee will become one of the 298 projects supported by the Artificial Intelligence program for the Earth, and we are delighted that Microsoft has stood by us as a high-level supporter," said Rodger Rick Engel, President of the Audi Environmental Foundation.
"It is our duty at Microsoft to make technology accessible to all and to apply it responsibly. Artificial intelligence can be an important factor in building the foundations of a better future," said Christine Haupt, General Manager, Microsoft Services, Microsoft Germany. We are also delighted that our support for the we4bee project is a support for a German project that uses technology to produce meaningful research results that will ultimately protect bees

When I started my career as a freelancer, I used to recur to ordinary techniques of the good old waterfall-style project management. It is not surprising that I also scrupulously tried to determine the time and the cost of a project before starting one. Not that it was a pleasant task or that I wasn't noticing that the real time I was spending on a project had nothing to do with the evaluations. While I understood that it doesn't make too much sense to evaluate a task I never done before, based on a one page long non-spec written by a person who seemed that he have no idea what the future project is about; it's just that I thought I have no choice, and that this is a game we all have to play. After all, what would be a different alternative? Asking the customer to give a blank check?
Reading for a few hours about Agile was largely enough to learn that no, we, project managers, don't have to play the stupid game. The game is essential for waterfall projects, where, indeed, an unfinished project is a useless project. But who would be so dumb to use waterfall for a project which is just described in a few badly written paragraphs, and where the customer in person has no idea about the actual needs? Well, it appears that lots of companies do that, but I digress.
The idea of evaluating time for an IT project makes no sense. It makes sense outside IT industry. For example, a company who built a bridge can be asked to build another bridge which is very similar to the first one. There would be room for randomness, like a larger river, or large building nearby, or softer coasts, but still, it would be close enough to the previous project to be able to give an estimate. A company who built forty bridges had done enough estimation mistakes to be able to asset something precise enough, based on the gaps between the estimation and the real cost, observed in the forty projects done in the past.
Now, what would happen if a company which built small bridges across rivers for fifty years is asked to build the five kilometers long bridge across an ocean? How precise would be the estimate now? Would it really make sense?
In IT, there are no identical projects. If the same team is asked to do a project they already did, they will simply take what's already done. The same cannot be done with bridges: you can't copy-paste a bridge to another location: building the same thing still requires time and money. In IT, every project is new; otherwise, it's not a project, but a clone of a previous one. Since the project is new, the estimate can't be based on facts and hard data. Let's say a team created an app for iOS. Now, it's time to create the same app for Android. Would it take exactly as long as it took to create the iOS app? Would it be shorter, because all the architecture is already done? Would it be longer, because the team is composed of iOS developers who don't know Android well enough?
Time estimation of an IT project is quite random. It's less random for some projects which are well-defined, with clear and complete requirements and a no changes to the requirements policy. It's more random for other projects where the whole description is two or three paragraphs of text written by somebody who really wanted to avoid thinking a bit about the different aspects of the project.
This means that whenever somebody agrees to do a weakly-defined project for a given amount of money, there is something wrong. In the past, I gave two-numbers estimate: the average price—the price I expect the project would cost, and the maximum price—the price the customer will pay no matter what. There was something wrong with that. Every time. One of those wrong things was that it made it totally impossible to let the customer adjust the requirements over time, and changes to the requirements would be accepted only at the "end of the project". Waterfall? Anybody?
In Agile world, there is still agreement upon cost, but instead of agreeing what the entire project would cost, the customer agrees that a given amount of hours of a team will cost a given amount of time, and that the team expects to deliver specific features for the first sprint. This makes the project extremely flexible for the customer. A six-months project can stop after three months, because the customer believes that the project is mature enough, or because the customer doesn't have enough money, or because priorities changed, or… whatever. Instead of a waterfall blackout with a dilemma between continuing a project no matter how much does it cost, and cancelling it without having anything concrete, the customer is now confronted to hard data and the possibility to take a decision to end the project at any time, while having a working piece of software.
An IT project is not something which has a well-defined end of life. Unlike a bridge, whose building process terminates exactly when the bridge is ready to be used, a software product evolves. This makes its end highly unpredictable most of the time. Some projects end because the customer doesn't have money. Others—and this is the case of too many products—end because they are a complete failure. In very rare cases, projects end because the customer considers that there are no more features to implement, and more importantly, no bugs left.
The unpredictability of a project lifespan is an additional indicator that it doesn't make sense to estimate the overall time it would take to accomplish it. We can't accomplish a project, since in order to do it, we must first be able to predict when the project will be finished.
As a freelancer or an IT company, have a decency to be frank with your customers, and don't estimate how much a project would cost. Unless, of course, the project follows strict waterfall model and has functional and non-functional requirements which span thousands of pages, making it extremely clear and predictable, without even a need for prototypes.
As a customer, use the fact that a freelancer or an IT company is ready to give an estimate as a hint that you're dealing with inexperienced persons. If those persons talk about Agile, flee; find someone who will do the project without staying at 90% for months and without asking you to pay ten times the original estimate.
Why, as a customer, you don't want to deal with someone who claims he can estimate your project?
Because people who claim they can estimate the unknown are very probably either lying or not knowing what they are talking about.
If the project follows waterfall model, you won't be able to add or change the requirements before the end of the project (unless, of course, you're ready to pay much, much more for the additional cost of changing the requirements themselves). In a non-Agile project, changes are complicated, so either they are done at a high cost (including the renegotiation of the contract), or they are postponed until the project is finished.
The estimate will be wrong. If it's not, either your project was a good candidate for waterfall model, and the requirements were very detailed and clear, or you're just lucky. You may be less luckily, and find yourself paying, say, ten times more compared to the original quote. Business-wise, this is not a risk you want to take for every IT project.
If you cancel the project before it finishes, then you find yourself with a useless bunch of lines of code which can be only thrown. Agreed, you can go to another IT company and ask to modify the code. It will cost you less to just start the project again. In Agile projects, this doesn't happen: you can cancel a six-month project after two months of work; this would result in a working product which doesn't have too many features. You can then continue to add features, if not painlessly—since it's always a pain to maintain a product made by somebody else—at least more easily than waterfall projects, since here, what you get after two months is a piece of working software, covered with tests and correctly refactored.

Shroud for a Nightingale is a 1971 detective novel written by PD James in her Adam Dalgliesh series. Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard is called in to investigate the death of two student nurses at the hospital nursing school of Nightingale House.

Plot summary
Student nurses Heather Pearce and Josephine Fallon have died of mysterious circumstances in the hospital nursing school of Nightingale House. As Scotland Yard's Chief Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh uncovers sexual secrets and blackmail within the closed community of the hospital, he finds himself in mortal danger.

Reception
In a 1972 book review, Newgate Callandar of The New York Times wrote "James works in the old tradition. She takes all the time in the world to establish her plot, her people and her locale. False clues are liberally seeded. The author goes into the background of the characters. Some are literate in the best British tradition."

Adaptation
The novel was adapted as a television miniseries by Anglia Television and was produced for Britain's ITV network in 1984. It starred Roy Marsden as Adam Dalgliesh, Joss Ackland as the surgeon, Stephen Courtney-Briggs, Sheila Allen as Mary Taylor and Eleanor David as Jo Fallon.
Another adaptation in 2021 starred Bertie Carvel as part of the series Dalgliesh. It was produced by New Pictures and released on Acorn TV.

In the first four months of life, babies will experience growth spurt days on a regular basis. On these days, expect baby to be fussy and disorganized. This is how the baby brain integrates information from the experiences and relationships to which it is exposed. The spurts come approximately every 6 weeks. Usually these events will only last for 24 hours. While baby is so cranky, she may need to be held all day and fed every two hours. Here are 10 Fussy Baby strategies that revolve around the concept of the Magic of Midline.

Illinois Fighting Illini Baseball
Illinois Baseball's Backstop Buddies
Both Jeff Korte and Jacob Campbell provide good depth behind the plate for the Illini.
By Anthony Pasquale Feb 28, 2019, 8:05am CST
Share All sharing options for: Illinois Baseball's Backstop Buddies
Fightingillini.com
A productive relationship between senior catcher Jeff Korte and freshman backstop Jacob Campbell has led Illinois to its best start since 2015.
In the Illini's six wins to open the season, Korte and Campbell have gotten starts behind the plate, with Korte starting four times and Campbell starting twice.
Both catchers have caught redshirt senior starting pitcher Andy Fisher so far this season and he has seen good results. Fisher threw 5.2 innings, allowing two runs and punching out seven batters when Jacob Campbell was catching him against Wake Forest two weeks ago. Fisher followed that up this past Saturday with six innings of one-run baseball and nine strikeouts with Jeff Korte behind the plate against Florida Atlantic.
"They each call their own game for the most part," Fisher said. "It's just how they receive the ball and how they throw guys out at second, which they've both done a great job of."
Fisher added: "They're both pretty good receiving, they'll get you those borderline pitches, make them called strikes instead of balls... and they don't get mad at me when I shake them off three or four times."
Korte homered twice in Friday's win over Florida Atlantic. He is batting .250 with six runs driven in through the team's first six contests.
In regards to the competition for Korte's position, he stressed that he is not afraid of it.
"It's always good to have competition. We had good competition last year with Skonie (Mark Skonieczny) and David [Craan] and I think this year could be even better with the addition of Jacob [Campbell]."
The senior also added that growing up in the state of Florida provided him with a fierce environment.
"I'm from Florida so like there's always been competition down there so I'm not really afraid of it. I think it's great we have good competition to motivate each other."
Korte also made it clear he wants to help Campbell.
"I think from the beginning of fall I've been able to help Jacob, just like get familiar with the pitching staff," Korte said. "I think the biggest thing as a catcher is you gotta have the pitchers be comfortable with who's behind the plate so I think that that's the biggest thing I've been trying to get him to do."
The Chicago Cubs selected Campbell in the 36th round of the 2018 MLB Draft, but he decided to come play at Illinois. The catcher arrived at the University of Illinois as the eighth-ranked freshman catcher in the nation, and the highest ranked prospect in the Big Ten.
Still hitless so far in seven at bats, Campbell's high ranking as a prospect has not added much pressure to him.
"It's just the same mentality everyday, just get better in practice," Campbell said, "and as long as we're getting Ws at the end of the day that's all that matters."
Campbell has also not looked past the fact that Korte has been helping him early in his collegiate career.
"I definitely learn from him," Campbell said. "As a senior he's got a lot of knowledgeable things that I can pick up from and you know whoever goes out in the field on any given day, it's just about winning."
The Illini put their unblemished record on the line this weekend against Coastal Carolina, Northeastern (twice) and Connecticut.
But it is still up in the air in terms of who is starting behind the plate this weekend.
"I hope throughout the year we have multiple options because guys are playing well," said head coach Dan Hartleb. "I hope to keep moving guys around a little bit and keep guys fresh.
"Throughout the year all of our guys catch each other in scrimmage situations," Hartleb added. "I try to go with the guy that I think is the best matchup, for a number of different reasons."
It is yet to be determined who that best matchup is. However it is important to note Jeff Korte bats left-handed and Jacob Campbell bats right-handed, and you can expect to see both of them behind the plate this weekend.

Pro BB player is really a [content removed], MAKE DD GREAT AGAIN!
Today i just got 5streak lose with Ryujo. i dont have a problem againts enemy CV...... most of them are noob. i realize, most of them (3 match) are caused by Pro BB...... half of your team destroyed less than 8~12 min by devastating strike? seriously?
THE MOST annoying is, BB sail through the island and make it harder to drop torpedo..... DD should be able to kill BB with its devastating torpedo.....but where is DD?
valentine is near.... so DD need more love too!
- make DD torpedo concealment better!
bring back stealth DD....encourage DD to kill BB again!
BUILD A WALL, BUILD A WALL MADE OUT OF TORPEDOES AND THE BBS WILL PAY FOR IT, RIGHT NOW THE DD DREAM IS DEAD. NO! TURN THOSE SPOTLIGHTS OFF! OFF!
In the end , BB larger than ? 50k tonnes turn slower, meanwhile no more torpedo soup. The problem now is IJN DD especially those with weaker guns are now in trouble..
Weren't you quitting? I am sorry but I saw your other posts about CV and I remember reading you saying in capital words "I QUIT". So what happened to that plan?
Really? Blaming people for they play well? That's really Drumpf-y.
It's asia so pretty much everyone play DD for some kind of faith or sth. Probably KanColle or sth. It's normal, don't expect too much from destroyers, especially the IJN DD, and this time the MM is mean to you.
Yesterday I was playing my newly bought Zao, and each time when there are T10 destroyers, my team gets a Shimakaze while the enemy gets a Gearing. So I experienced a painful losses. But still I have a overall WR of 50% on this ship. Or my Mogami, the last day on her was totally painful, IIRC I even posted a little rant about this, but still 56% WR. As for me, I don't really feel excited when I win (unless I did a huge part in reversing the outcome, which isn't that common for a noob like me), but I do feel frustrated when I tried my best and lost. So probably OP feels the same.
1) Get your torp game on. Focus on taking apart the team if you can, cruisers and DDs first.
2) A good DD can be extremely devastating. Try the high tier USDD line if you haven't, it's amazing.
3) Same thing applies to good BB players. Go get your Yugumo and F3 torpedoes. Now launch those ungodly 76 knot water rockets (or 81 with TA) and watch any ships desperately try to evade.
That being said, there are really good players, and I do feel your pain. But that's MM for you, and MM strikes us all somedays.
its not a blame, its compliment for playing too good..... but i dont know people will misinterpret my Ri(p)nglish.... i think i should start to read more about the real meanin or thesaurus of a word.
the real problem is the deadly secondary from BB..... especially Gnesinau..... DD cannt survive, and most its torpedo missed!
The issue is some players who play mostly DDs dont get the dynamic on how important DDs are.
- secondary roles of AA and Sonar Duties.
This is a meme you are asking for?
Can't help it. There's not much incentive for a team play in this game. The exp point for acting as support, like AA, spotting, smoking and sonar/radar is very low. So everyone from a DD to a carrier doing the exact same thing, farming for damage and kills. The problem is, some ship are better than others in that regard.
Yes, perhaps. But its not like you loose credits for doing these things... Dds are force multipliers for the team... And in many ways, can influence the match...specially when it comes to capping.
Naval combat always had an element of Team Play...regardless if in a game or in real life.. Hence, overlaping Support capabilities for each ship.
Just so happned theres alot of things the DD can do more effectively because of low concealment.
I have mostly played T7 DDs so far in the game, its like 1/4th of my total played games. Never felt the problems you mention. My problem is friendly CVs never support DDs unless in the same division or a quality player which is quite rare.
beside defending from bomber attack, what kind of support DD need? this will be valuable info!
Dive Bomber attacks are mostly RNG based and there is a way DD can defend itself from them. TB cross drops however, quite impossible to dodge if dropped by decent CV players. DD may not die but losing 3/4th of the HP is almost the same as being dead in a DD. But what I feel is, defending a DD against friendly strike is not always possible and that is ok, but when enemy CV keep the friendly DD spotted or keep scouting for friendly torps and the friendly CV is too busy farming damage on the blue line enemies which are practically no threat and keeping the fighters idle over some mountain, that is a problem. That is the CV player who ruins the game for the whole team single handed. Scouting and counter scouting is best way to help friendly DDs. This should be the first task. Killing enemy DDs and defending friendly DDs is the second one.
Last but not the least, CV player has the easiest time analyzing the battlefield, he can easily see the mistakes of friendly and enemy ships. Help the friendly ship who is doing the right thing, or trying to make something happen, help the one who is oppressed, or punish the enemy making mistakes, take enemy cv's focus to somewhere else. (AS Vs Strike).
Play Russian dds, farm arsonist awards, dds don't need a buff.
I think what the OP should do... is actually PLAY a DD to understand its dynamics. Apparently.... Not a single game in DD.
If you want to talk about Trump best you post on US server. I cant speak for everyone, but I would guess that most on Asian server dont really care at this time.
Leave the politics and commentary for other places.
That's what I tried to say, you were better at it.


EXTREME storms have caused destruction and taken lives across the globe this week, with Hurricane Florence forcing millions to evacuate in the US, and Typhoon Mangkhut wreaking havoc in the Philippines and southern China.
Florence brought torrential rain to the south-eastern coastline of the US, forcing this resident of Marion, South Carolina, to wade through high floodwaters (below, bottom). In New Bern, North Carolina, two residents can just be seen paddling in a canoe through a flooded street (above). Winds unleashed by Florence ripped the steeple clean off the Elah Baptist Church in Leland, North Carolina, on 15 September (directly below).
On the same day on the other side of the world, Typhoon Mangkhut began tearing through the Philippines. Marines can be seen here repairing their makeshift barracks in Cagayan, towards the northernmost tip of the country (bottom). Guandong province in southern China was also hit over the weekend – the pedestrians shown here are struggling against the wind and rain in the city of Shenzhen (top photograph). In Hong Kong, the windows were blown out from One Harbourfront, a major commercial building (below).
As New Scientist went to press, Florence had caused 31 fatalities and it is thought that about 100 people have died as a result of Mangkhut.
Florence has now been downgraded to a tropical depression, but the US National Hurricane Center forecast at least two further days of excessive rainfall this week in parts of southern New York state and New England, and there are fears this could cause flash flooding. Mangkhut is continuing across southern China, but weakening.

Preparing for Automations End of Support in June 2022
By Brian Cafferelli posted 9 days ago
Workflow automation has taken many forms in Quickbase over the years. It could be a simple email notification, a dynamic form rule, or even a complex script triggered by a webhook. But one thing that's clear is that workflow automation is only going to increase in importance for customers and use cases of all kinds. To meet those evolving requirements, we have spent the last year growing and improving the workflow automation capabilities of our powerful new Pipelines technology. Now, as we continue to look toward the future, we must also evaluate the role of older and less flexible features like Quickbase Automations. That's why we will be retiring Quickbase Automations in favor of Pipelines. In June 2022, Automations will reach End of Support.
What End of Support means for you
The next step in retiring Automations will come in June 2022, when the feature will reach End of Support. At that time, you will no longer be able to create new automations. This also means that the Quickbase Technical Support team will not be able to assist with the Automations feature after June 2022. Existing automations will continue to be editable, and they will continue to run until Automations reaches End of Life in January 2023.
We had initially set January 2022 as the End of Support for Quickbase Automations. Once we reach End of Support, customers would no longer be able to create new Automations. After listening to customer feedback, it became clear that our customers with many different Automations owners did not feel comfortable migrating away from Automations towards Pipelines. The three most common areas of concern with migrating from Automations to Pipelines that we plan to address are:
Account admins being able to choose which channels each user has access to Automations, including the ability to query the previous value of a field
Helpful notifications to pipeline owners when an error occurs
App admins having visibility into all pipelines that are connected to their Quickbase app
We will deliver new features to service these needs, which we plan to have ready by the new June End of Support date. If your company does not feel confident migrating your automations without the features listed above, you can still begin planning your migration now. We'll soon share resources which will help you plan your migration.
Read on to learn about the benefits of using Pipelines instead of Automations, and how you can prepare for Automations retirement by migrating your existing automations.
Improving your workflow using Pipelines
We have been continuously adding new capabilities and tools that will make it easy for you to migrate your workflow automations to our newer and more powerful Pipelines technology. Not only will this ensure that you don't experience any disruption to your business or your processes, but it also opens the door to new workflow ideas that can connect across multiple systems.
Pipelines supports all Automations features – Pipelines now supports all the features you've been leveraging within Automations, including the ability to query the previous value of a field.
Pipelines enables more sophisticated logic than Automations – Pipelines supports more powerful business logic than Automations, including branching and looping, as well as parsing text.
Pipelines gives you the ability to scale workflow across systems – In addition to orchestrating workflow within your Quickbase ecosystem, Pipelines includes point-and-click integration with over 30 products including Outlook, Slack, and Sharepoint.
We are committed to supporting every Automations use case. That's why all Quickbase customers get unlimited use of Quickbase-to-Quickbase Pipelines included with their service plan at no additional cost.
Focus areas for improving Pipelines
We've gotten feedback from many of you on Pipelines, about what's going well and where we have opportunity to improve. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Getting this perspective is essential to help us evolve our product and make sure we are serving this community well. There are three main areas we are focusing on to further support you as you migrate from Automations:
Ease of use – We are working on improvements to make it faster and more intuitive to build pipelines. For example, in the January 2022 release we are making our builder wizard generally available. Using the wizard, the user first chooses which steps to include. Then, they are directed to the pipelines designer page where they fill in the details for how each step should work. We have also extended our Pipelines educational resources in Quickbase University, with the release of our new Pipelines Builder certification exam.
Performance – In December 2021, we rolled out the new "Blaze" engine to offer better reliability, performance, and efficiency for Pipelines. Compared to November 2020, usage of our Pipelines capability has multiplied by more than 71 times, and the Blaze engine helps support that exponential increase in workload. It also lays the foundation for the next round of exponential growth in integration and automation use-cases which companies are looking to create with Quickbase Pipelines. We've seen pipelines run 30 times faster on average since releasing the Blaze engine.
Governance – We are making major investments to make it easier to manage your pipelines at scale. Account administrators will be able to set access to Pipelines channels by individual user, or by user group. Pipelines builders will also be notified when one of their pipelines encounters an error. And finally, app builders will be able to see a list of pipelines connected to their app. Each of these features will be available in the first half of 2022, before we reach the End of Support date for Automations.
Preparing to migrate
There are three steps you can take to prepare for your migration from Automations to Pipelines:
Make sure you have access to Pipelines – Some of you are app builders who have built automations but have not had a chance to start working with Pipelines. It's worthwhile to check the top-left of your Quickbase view to make sure you have Pipelines access set up. If you do not see the Pipelines tab, you'll need to contact one of your account admins to get access.
Create new workflow automations using Pipelines instead of Automations – Since Automations will not be supported starting in June 2022, this is the perfect time to stop creating new automations and creating pipelines instead. We have many resources available to bring you up to speed. (Check out our list on the community.)
Begin migrating your existing automations to Pipelines - We've developed a simple migration tool you can use to create a corresponding pipeline for each of your automations, which you can do in just a few clicks. We have been improving the migration tool over the past few months, and it is now ready to migrate virtually any automation. (Learn more about using the migration tool in our help article.)
Over the next year, we will be following our standard feature retirement lifecycle, and taking several steps along the way to retire the Quickbase Automations feature. End of Sale is highlighted in green since we have already reached that milestone.

Get more information on the ABIM GI/transplant hepatology pilot program.
Applicants interested in the traditional 1-year transplant hepatology fellowship should contact potential programs during their late second year or early third year of GI fellowship in order to schedule interviews. As there is no formal match system for this fellowship, there is no uniform application deadline. However, most programs have only 1-2 positions available, and late applicants may have fewer choices.
Applicants interested in the 3-year ABIM GI/transplant hepatology pilot program should speak with their GI program director as early as possible. Potential applicants may need to reorganize their second year schedules to make sure they complete the majority of GI cinical requirements in the first 2 years of GI training so that they can devote their third year almost exclusively to transplant hepatology. Application materials are generally available to transplant hepatology program directors and potential pilot fellows upon request beginning in November/December of the fellow's second year of GI training and approved by the AASLD Pilot Task Force on a rolling basis through March of the fellow's second year.
Following transplant hepatology training, there are several settings in which a transplant hepatologist can practice. Often transplant hepatologists are affiliated with an academic institution. Additionally, there are opportunities available in hospital-based and private group practices.
These positions are affiliated with a university or teaching institution.
Clinical Transplant Hepatologist: The majority of time is dedicated to providing care for pre-, peri- and post-transplant patients. Some job descriptions are a blend of general hepatology, transplant hepatology and gastroenterology. Others are exclusively transplant hepatology.
Research/Physician scientist: A significant proportion of time is spent engaged in research, often >50%, which typically requires research funding.
Education/Clinical Educator: Protected time is set aside for medical education (UME, GME, CME) in addition to clinical duties.
There is a growing number of hepatologists and transplant hepatologists who are employed by hospitals or large health systems. These are often not university-affiliated and are typically supported by extensive clinical care programs, usually within liver transplant programs. These centers may also be supported by extensive clinical research programs. Hepatologists in these settings are typically salaried employees of the hospital or health system.
There are growing opportunities for hepatologists to join single- or multispecialty group/private practices. These settings are often not affiliated with a liver transplant program and are generally supported by clinical revenue generated directly by performing endoscopic procedures or indirectly by revenue shared among gastroenterology partners. These practices may manage all aspects of liver-related care including much of the liver transplant evaluations for one or more transplant programs. They may also have thriving clinical trial programs.
Created in 2010, the AASLD Emerging Liver Scholars Resident Program promotes the study of hepatology among residents who have the potential for a career in academic medicine and who haven't yet determined their long-term career goals. This program is targeted toward medical, surgical, and pediatric residents and their Mentors to attend The Liver Meeting® each year and participate in other AASLD activities throughout their training.
Created in 2014, the AASLD Membership and Mentorship Committee designed a program for previous recipients of the Emerging Liver Scholars Award to serve as an Ambassador and reach out to medical students and other residents to spread the word about a career in liver disease and discuss the data and research presented at The Liver Meeting®. The program funds up to six Ambassadors to travel to and attend The Liver Meeting® as well as funding for up to 15 Ambassadors to develop programs and events at their home institutions.
LiverLearning® is the official eLearning portal of AASLD. Users can search educational resources by topic, speaker, event, and content type — including video, audio, and slide decks.

A: As your ShiftLine seems to be an array of chars it could be as simple as that:
File.WriteAllText("C:\Users\Anthony\Desktop\DecryptedText.txt", new string(ShiftLine));

(instead of your loop [btw: Your loop overwrites the file on any turn...])

A: Actually there are a few things you could improve.
If the user shall only be able to press y or n, you could use the Console.ReadKey() method instead of letting the user input a complete line of text. By using the overloaded method and specifying true as argument, you won't even see the pressed key on written into the console window (Console.ReadKey(true)).
So you could exchange the current if statements with switch (Console.ReadKey(true).Key) and build cases like case ConsoleKey.Y:
So the Main method would look something like that:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //Writing to the screen
    Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the Ceaser Cipher Shift Program");
    Console.WriteLine("Would You Like to Decrypt a File (y for yes/n for no)");

    switch (Console.ReadKey(true).Key)
    {
        // if the user types "y", activate the decryption method
        case ConsoleKey.Y:
            decryption();
            break;

        // if the user types in "n", write "Goodbye" and close the program

I guess the next thing you want to do is using Caesar cipher for encrypting/decrypting data.
Therefore you "just" need to shift every character and this can be done much easier than writing switch-case statements like you did. The idea behind this type of encryption is, that you take one character and replace it with another one which is offset characters away. Decrypting goes the other way.
So it would be much easier building one method that has the ability to do exactly that for a specified text.
There are two special cases you need to consider: What happens if the value you are looking at is on the lower boundary and you substract the offset (meaning, the "new" value would be lower than zero). The second one represents the same situation on the upper boundary.
These sitations can be resolved using either if statements or  possibly easier by just looking at the rest of the division with the maximum value range. (text[i] + offset) % NumberOfPossibleCharacters should do the trick.
Knowing this you can easily build a method like the following one (where I have assumed, that there is no character with a value greater than 127):
static string Encrypt(string data, int offset)
{
    string result = string.Empty;

    for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
    {
        // Add the offset to the current character and just take the
        // rest of the division by 127. Afterwards cast it back to a character
        // (because it will be a number due to + and %)
        result += (char)((data[i] + offset) % 127);
    }

    return result;
}

Be advised, that string operations like += will cause the creation of a new string each time so it is not a good example from an (memory)performance point of view. There is the better way of using the StringBuilder class.
I hope this hint's you in a better way of solving your homework ;-)

If you have a single bat that you secretly value more than your car or home, build a covered baseball display shelf to suit your needs. Begin this project by measuring the length of the bat, and then add 2 feet to this number. The width should be about 2 feet wide. Do you have a signed picture of a favorite player? Option signed the baseball or collects the cards, for space in the room to the left of the bat to show these items. You should already have the necessary wood in your workshop, head out to the garage and start cutting away. If you are not lucky, take your measurements to the home improvement store. Select the desired tree and ask them to cut it to the appropriate size.
Do not forget to pick up a package of hinges to the door and a piece of Plexiglas also cut to size. Do you have a collection of baseball bats but no way to get them shown? Collect your thoughts on paper and plan how you would like to see your baseball bats exhibited. Doing your own baseball bat wall mount display case can add a personal touch, as well as give shape to your collection of bats cheap. The task requires minimal construction experience, although some carpentry knowledge can help. In a few steps, you can build a collect your own bat rack. These steps will help guide you to make a Baseball Bat Rack.
Screw 40-inch boards at an angle of 90 degrees to standing positions. Standard bat rack thickness should about four inches, while for the positions can be any length. Ensure that boards that support posts and cross-boards are secured fixed positions. Once you have these boards screwed into place, it should appear as a square with a post in each corner, even looking from above. With a piece of sandpaper, sand 40-inch-12-inch piece of wood. These "cross-boards" will be parallel lines within the square. These dimensions are typical of a bat rack, but may be greater or less depending on the number of bats and rack's function.
Chop 4-inch and 2-inch-deep slots on two of the 40-inch-12-inch piece of wood. These two pieces of wood run away and cradle bats in rack. The number of slots should correspond to the number of dogs you have. Paint all boards with wood stain lacquer, in a well-ventilated area. Add the 40-inch boards, with wooden screws 40-inch-of-12-inch boards. Make sure boards are firm and secure. Add short messages to identify each bat, along the front of the multiple baseball display case. This is especially useful if bats have some historical significance.

"WE MUST do better" was the message from Premier League star Mrcus Rashford after images of free school meals sent to families were shared online, sparking a Government investigation.
The Government has promised to investigate after images shared online showed "woefully inadequate" free school meal parcels sent to families.
Children's Minister Vicky Ford said she would be "urgently" look into the matter after one mother posted an image of a £30 parcel which was estimated to contain just over £5 worth of food.
2 days jacket potato with beans8 single cheese sandwiches
2 days carrots3 days apples2 days soreen3 days frubes
Sharing the image, Twitter user Roadside Mum said: "2 days jacket potato with beans, 8 single cheese sandwiches, 2 days carrots, 3 days apples, 2 days soreen, 3 days frubes.
"Issued instead of £30 vouchers. I could do more with £30 to be honest."
Footballer and campaigner Marcus Rashford tweeted another picture and wrote: "3 days of food for 1 family… Just not good enough.
3 days of food for 1 family…Just not good enough. pic.twitter.com/Y7FJEFFAma
"Then imagine we expect the children to engage in learning from home.
"Not to mention the parents who, at times, have to teach them who probably haven't eaten at all so their children can… We MUST do better."
I will be looking into this urgently – food parcels should cover all lunchtime meals & be nutritious – we've increased funding for parcels & will support local vouchers – national voucher also rolling out ASAP, working night & day on this. Hope your kids are ok @roadsidemum https://t.co/vL5XTSNgT7
The Department for Education wrote on Twitter: "We have clear guidelines and standards for food parcels, which we expect to be followed.
"Parcels should be nutritious and contain a varied range of food."
She estimated the cost of the food in the package at £5.22 based on prices at Asda.
Chartwells, the company which she said provided the parcel, responded to say they would investigate.
They said: "Thank you for bringing this to our attention, this does not reflect the specification of one of our hampers."
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer described the situation as "a disgrace".
He tweeted: "The images appearing online of woefully inadequate free school meal parcels are a disgrace.
"Where is the money going?
"This needs sorting immediately so families don't go hungry through lockdown."
One of the reasons why some schools have used food parcels rather than vouchers is that it helps keep them in touch with families. Very sadly during the pandemic there has been an increase in risk to some children. Do calll @NSPCC If you are concerned about a child ,
After announcing her plans to investigate, Ms Ford also defended the use of parcels instead of vouchers for families in need.
She tweeted: "One of the reasons why some schools have used food parcels rather than vouchers is that it helps keep them in touch with families.
"Very sadly during the pandemic there has been an increase in risk to some children. Do calll @NSPCC If you are concerned about a child."

UPDATED HOCKEY FIELD FOR KOONUNG SECONDARY COLLEGE
Students at Koonung Secondary College will soon have an updated sports ground thanks to the Andrews Labor Government.
Member for Eastern Metropolitan Shaun Leane today announced the upgrade as part of the Labor Government's commitment to schools.
Koonung Secondary College will receive $100,000 for the upgrade, which will involves resurfacing the existing hockey field.
By making sure students have access to the best sporting facilities we can increase the proportion of kids staying active.
By 2025, the Labor Government wants a 20 per cent increase in the proportion of kids doing physical activity five times a week.
Koonung Secondary College is one of thousands of schools with upgrades now underway across Victoria thanks to the Government's $3.8 billion investment in school infrastructure as part of the Education State.
This unprecedented investment has delivered 70 new school projects and more than 1,300 school upgrades, creating more than 5,000 construction jobs.
For further information about the Andrews Labor Government's record school construction and upgrade program visit the Victorian School Building Authority website: www.schoolbuildings.vic.gov.au

"We're helping upgrade schools across Victoria so families can be assured that no matter where they live they'll have access to a great local school with facilities that the whole community can be proud of."
"It is exciting to see Koonung Secondary College get the funding it needs to upgrade its hockey field – creating great new sports facilities for both students and the local community to use."
"This upgrade is about more than giving students the first-rate school facilities they deserve – it is about helping build community pride in a great local school."

Roofing Contractor Schaumburg IL – Weatherguard Construction Co.
A northwestern suburb of Chicago, Schaumburg is a village of approximately 75,000 people. The village is part of the Golden Corridor, an area that surrounds Interstate 90, the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway. The highway allows people living in surrounding areas to commute to the many Fortune 500 company headquarters, manufacturing plants, shopping malls, restaurants and medical facilities. This gold mine of financial advantage is what gave the Golden Corridor its name.
Schaumburg lies about 30 miles from the central business district of Chicago. It has become quite the suburban metropolis and boasts the 11th largest mall in the country.
Perhaps Schaumburg's primary current claim to fame is the fact that it is home to one of two IKEA stores in the state. However, its proximity to Chicago makes it an ideal place for families, students and retirees. There is always something to do in the area, although the winters can bring in some bitter cold that might make you want to stay indoors.
According to Sperling's Best Places, Schaumburg receives about 32 inches of rain each year. This is less than the U.S. average of 36 inches per year. However, the village is right up there with the U.S. average for snowfall. Schaumburg receives about two feet of snow per year. The U.S. average for snowfall is 25 inches.
Schaumburg is considered to be somewhat comfortable in regards to summer temperatures. The humidity is lower than the average for the U.S., which helps people stay cool. The breezes that surround the windy city help maintain a mild climate as well. However, some residents say that even though the winters are cold, the summer humidity can be stifling at times.
With an average high of 86 degrees Fahrenheit in July, Schaumburg has relatively mild summers. However, the average low in January is 12 degrees. This can make for lingering snowdrifts that never seem to melt away before the next dusting.
According to Weather DB, on February 2, 2011, Schaumburg received 17 inches of snow during one storm. Most of the snow in the area usually falls in January, with the monthly average closer to 11 inches. December and February fall close behind in regards to snowfall amounts.
The most snow that ever fell in one month was in January 1918, when 39 inches of snow blanketed the town. The most current record for monthly snowfall was in December 2000. Almost 30 inches fell that month.
Hailstorms are not uncommon in the Schaumburg area. However, there is not necessarily a discernable pattern of hail in the town. According to StormerSite, there were 13 hail reports within 10 miles of the city center in 2014 and 14 in 2015. However, there was only one hail report in 2013 and three in 2012.
The largest hail reported in 2014 was 2 inches. Hail doesn't only cause damage to cars and unprotected citizens; it can damage your home. Although you may not be able to see the damage on the roof, a professional contractor can pinpoint any damaged areas that need to be repaired or replaced after a hailstorm.
While snow and hail are major factors that affect the climate in Schaumburg, tornadoes are also a concern, especially in the summer. According to Home Facts, the largest tornado ever recorded in the area occurred in 1990. It harmed 350 people and resulted in 29 fatalities. In fact, there have been 119 tornadoes in the Schaumburg area since 1950.
The town sees about two tornadoes per year, and an average of two people are killed by these tornadoes annually. The risk level for tornadoes in the area is considered to be moderate.
Most of the tornadoes that have hit the greater Schaumburg area have taken place in the late spring, summer and early fall. August is a popular month for tornadoes in the area. Tornadoes can produce hailstorms too; hail is not typically a winter weather problem.
Your home should protect you from inclement weather. As long as your property is not directly in the path of a tornado, a well-maintained home with a high-quality roof should provide more than adequate shelter in the Schaumburg, IL, area.
Many homeowners don't realize when they have a damaged roof. If some shingles are compromised during a storm, the next spell of heavy wind could lead to a leak. Don't wait until you see obvious signs of roof damage. Inspect it after every storm, and take care of small issues before they become larger problems.

Somerset Place »
By the mid-19th century, more than 50 buildings were clustered on the northeast rim of Lake Phelps, serving as the industrial complex and residential community. Included were barns, saw and gristmills, stables, a hospital, an Episcopal chapel, a kitchen complex, and 26 houses for members of the enslaved community. Homes for overseers, tutors, ministers, and the owner's family—along with a kitchen/laundry, dairy, storehouse, and smoke and salting houses—also stood here.
The present-day historic site includes 31 of the original lakeside acres and seven original 19th-century buildings. With the goal of accurately representing the lives and lifestyles of the plantation's entire antebellum community, the Department of Cultural Resources has acquired the reconstructed Overseer's House and reconstructed representative one-room and four-room homes where enslaved families once lived, along with the plantation hospital.

We work hard to help our Mansfield, TX, patients enjoy optimal oral health. In addition to taking steps to preserve natural teeth, we sometimes actually need to remove a tooth to improve overall oral health. In today's blog, we're looking at when an extraction is beneficial for a person's smile, and what they should expect from the procedure.
As people approach adulthood, they may see up to four additional teeth arrive. Known as wisdom teeth, these erupt in our late teens and early 20s. For some, they may not be a big deal. However, for others these teeth may only partially erupt. Known as impaction, this could lead to pain, damaged teeth, infection, and even the risk of misalignment as they alter the positions of the other teeth in your smile. In order to prevent these complications, we safely and carefully move the teeth from your smile.
Of course, extractions are not limited only to addressing wisdom teeth. If you develop a serious infection, one that can no longer be addressed with a root canal and crown, then we may need to remove the tooth to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth. If you break a tooth and the damage is too severe to benefit from a crown, we may also suggest removing the tooth in question.
For some, correcting crooked and crowded teeth means making room for the orthodontics to be able to move them. By removing a tooth in some scenarios, we enable patients to obtain more even and healthy smiles. Likewise, extraction may be necessary to address bite imbalance, offering solutions for TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding).
With all of these procedures, we will address any questions or concerns you have. We also administer sedation to ensure you enter a calm and relaxed state, with little to no memory of the procedure. A trained anesthesiologist will monitor you throughout the procedure as well. Afterward, we provide detailed instructions for the hours and days following, to help ensure proper healing. We will also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your smile as the area heals and to eventually remove the sutures. If you have any questions about extracting your teeth, or if you think your smile may benefit from the procedure, then contact our team today.
Do You Have Questions About Extractions?
We may prescribe safe and comfortable tooth removal to improve your oral health, helping you maintain a functional, healthy, and attractive smile. For more information on our restorative dental treatments and oral surgical procedures, schedule a consultation by calling our dentist's office in Mansfield, TX, today at 817-473-6227.
