New degrees earn approval of Regents
Board members also discuss current program approval process
By Jay Dedrick
The University of Colorado Board of Regents on Friday unexpectedly approved two new degree programs and discussed a third, which won't receive a vote of the board until its November meeting.
The votes for the programs were not unanimous – not because of dissent regarding plans as presented for the degrees, but because of the departure from board procedure.
Receiving approval at the meeting at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs were a master of science in palliative care at the Graduate School of CU Denver l Anschutz Medical Campus and a bachelor of science in exercise science at the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences at UCCS. Read more on the latter in Communique.
Both had been included on the board's agenda as discussion items. During separate presentations, leaders from the campuses noted the advantages of receiving approval sooner rather than later, namely the ability to begin marketing efforts to facilitate enrollment by students in fall 2016. Some board members supported calling for votes at Friday's meeting in order to provide that ability.
The palliative care degree passed 7-2, with Regents Michael Carrigan and Glen Gallegos opposing. The exercise science degree vote was closer; along with Carrigan and Gallegos, Regents John Carson and Vice Chair Irene Griego voted no. Regents Steve Bosley, Stephen Ludwig, Sue Sharkey, Linda Shoemaker (participating by phone) and Chair Kyle Hybl supported both.
In recent years, the board has heard a new degree proposal at one meeting, then scheduled a vote at the next meeting – typically about six weeks later. Occasionally, the board has skipped the wait and decided to vote and give approval early. The practice of waiting is stated in board policy that was formally adopted earlier during Friday's meeting.
"We are willing to drop those policies at the drop of a hat," Gallegos said. "Everything is hurry up, we need more money, we need a new degree program. I'm a little tired of it."
Carrigan said he agreed, and noted that his no vote would be brought about by the board's procedure, not the degree program.
Regent Sue Sharkey said she understood the concern, "But I think this is an occasion where (an early vote) is necessary. This is not some extraordinary new degree program … that has any controversy to it, but a very well-thought-out proposal. It's very much in need."
During discussion of the exercise science degree, Bosley moved for the board to approve it. "I don't think we should get in the way of campuses reacting quickly to the marketplace," he said.
Griego said this degree proposal was more complex than the previous one, and thus required the longer review period enabled by waiting on a vote until November.
Hybl asked Ludwig, who leads the board's Laws and Policies Committee, to revisit the two-meeting consideration policy, address its intent, and recommend when and how that policy should be varied from – or if it should remain in place.
The third degree on the agenda for discussion was a new bachelor of arts in public service in the School of Public Affairs at CU Denver. It is expected to be voted on at the November board meeting.
Other degrees previously presented to the board also were approved by a vote on the consent agenda. The newly approved degrees are: master of arts in Russian studies, CU-Boulder; master of science in athletic training, UCCS; bachelor of arts in inclusive elementary education, UCCS.
In other business at last week's meeting:
The board heard from Patrick O'Rourke, vice president of university counsel and secretary of the board, on notices of motion to revise and amend Regent Law and Policy, including:
Clarification of the nondiscrimination policy to include pregnancy: Currently the laws of the regents do not specify that discrimination on the basis pregnancy is prohibited. If approved by the board, the amendment would state the "University of Colorado does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, political affiliation, or political philosophy in admission and access to, and treatment and employment in, its educational programs and activities."
Revisions to policy regarding fiscal misconduct: Under current policy, the definition of fiscal misconduct is dependent upon harm to the university. The revision would include students, faculty and staff. The policy would also consider attempted fiscal misconduct.
Modification to add philanthropy to award criteria: The change would allow philanthropy to the university as an allowable consideration when determining awards such as Honorary Degrees, Distinguished Service and University Medals.
New policy for indemnity contracts: Would allow for delegation of regent authority to approve contracts containing indemnity provisions.
The motions will be considered at a future meeting.
The board approved two facility upgrade projects at CU-Boulder. Regents voted 9-0 to approve a $2.5 million upgrade to CU-Boulder's animal care facility and $4.7 million for athletics facilities upgrades. Both increases were approved to cover costs that have expanded largely due to market-driven increases in labor and materials. Read more in CU-Boulder Today.
Andrea Herrera, Ph.D., of UCCS attended and was formally recognized by the board for her Chase Faculty Community Service Award, announced in April.
Two departing members of CU system leadership received resolutions of appreciation from the board. Kathleen Bollard, outgoing vice president of academic affairs, and Don Eldhart, outgoing treasurer, both were present to receive tributes from board members and administrators.

Plaza de Roma
Plaza de Roma is one of the two major public squares located in Intramuros, Manila. It is also popularly known by the name of Plaza Roma.
The said plaza is considered to be the center of Intramuros. Its boundaries consist of the Andres Soriano Avenue which was formerly known as Calle Aduana to the north; Cabildo Street to the east, Santo Tomas Street to the south, and General Antonio Luna Street which was formerly called Calle Real del Palacio, to the west.
Plaza de Roma also served as the Plaza Mayor during the Spanish colonial era. It was then considered the center of the city where bullfights and other public events were held until Governor- General Rafael Maria de Aguilar converted the plaza into a garden in the year 1797. During this time, it was also referred to by the name of Plaza de Armas.
At the start of the American rule in 1901, the plaza was renamed to Plaza McKinley, after the president of the United States of America, William McKinley. He authorized the colonization of the Philippines by the United States.
Unlike Plaza Miranda and Plaza Moriones, the garden configuration of the Plaza de Roma no longer functions as a public square.
Plaza de Roma is located inside Intramuros. If you are going to Intramuros, just take the train or jeepney there. In LRT-1, get off the train at the main terminal station and walk five minutes to Manila City Hall. Then walk down to the pedestrian underpass that takes you under Padre de Burgos Street. Ride a tricycle going to Plaza de Roma.
It can be visited during the daily opening hours of Intramuros, which is daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
What is the origin of the name Plaza de Roma?
The name of Plaza de Roma was given in 1961, following the elevation o f Rufino Santos to the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church as the first Filipino Cardinal. In recognition of this, Rome also named one of its squares as Piazzale Manila.
What are some of the nearby tourist spots in Plaza de Roma?
Plaza de Roma is not only a significant and historically rich area. It is also surrounded by three important landmarks of Intramuros. These are the Manila Cathedral (originally known as the "Church of Manila") to the south, the Palacio del Gobernador (former residence of the Governor-General) to the west, and the Ayuntamiento de Manila, which is also known as the Casas Consistoriales (nicknamed as the Marble Palace), to the East.

When a handful of students show up this fall for the new media innovation graduate program at Northeastern University, they'll learn coding, information visualization, videography, database management—even game design. The Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York (CUNY) is incubating journalism entrepreneurs who can earn master's degrees and advanced certificates in innovative approaches to the media business. Uptown, at Columbia University, the journalism school and computer science department are in the first year of teaming up to deliver a certificate program for journalists and others in data technology and using data.
Journalism education has come to the same ominous inflection point that journalism itself has reached—and the stakes are just as high. Universities are shutting down or proposing to shut down journalism schools, or merging them with other departments. Enrollment is falling—dramatically, for graduate programs—while it's rising at newer institutions and those with an emphasis on digital media. New forms of teaching online and new credentials menace all of higher education's monopoly on academic credit.
As technology advances, professionals want more training, like they'll get at programs such as Northeastern's. And foundations that have filled the void left when media companies stopped lavishing their wealth on journalism schools are aggressively pressing for reform.
In response, some journalism schools are abruptly transforming themselves to teach new forms of media and new methods of delivering the news. "We are trying to blow up everything," says Jeff Howe, head of the new, three-semester program at Northeastern. Supported by a $250,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the program will revolve around an "innovation seminar" in which teams of students will apply their newfound skills to real-world projects in news delivery or reporting techniques.
"Like journalism, education is ripe for disruptive innovation," says Howard Finberg, director of partnerships and alliances at the Poynter Institute. If j-schools fail to respond, Finberg says, they are "at risk of being bypassed or overshadowed." A recent Poynter survey—which some argue demonstrates that educators are outpacing editors in their approaches to digital innovation—underlines the divide between j-schools and newsrooms. Educators are more likely than professional journalists to believe it's important for journalism graduates to have multimedia skills, for instance, according to the survey Poynter released in April. They are more likely to think it's crucial for j-school grads to understand HTML and other computer languages, and how to shoot and edit video and photos, record audio, tell stories with visuals, and write for different platforms.
More educators than editors put an emphasis on such newly important skills as the ability to use computers to analyze large amounts of information. More educators think knowledge of other cultures is important as the diversity of their subjects and audiences deepens. And as the industry searches for new revenue models, almost twice as many educators as editors think journalism students need to learn about the business side of media, as they do at CUNY and Northeastern.
In that same Poynter survey, many editors said the most important thing they need in new employees is a foundation of critical thinking and problem-solving fundamentals, and knowledge of teamwork and collaboration they say comes from the broader liberal-arts education many of them got—not strictly vocational skills, which fast-changing technology can quickly make obsolete, and which can be learned on the job. More than 40 percent don't even think it's important for prospective journalists to major in journalism.
But even as journalism schools transform themselves, and as the latest crop of newly minted graduates heads into the job market, educators and editors are joining forces to accomplish what neither can do so easily on their own—give students real-world reporting experience and provide daily and in-depth news coverage.
Other things have changed, too. More journalists like Coll, rather than career academics, are being named to head up journalism schools. There are more collaborations in which students produce content for real-world print and online media. "Without the pressure of having to grow revenue or meet budgets, we have some freedom to experiment and try new things," says Lorraine Branham, a former journalist at The Philadelphia Inquirer and Baltimore Sun and dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which has established a center for digital media entrepreneurship and an endowed chair in journalism innovation.
People on all sides of the question over what students ought to learn acknowledge that news organizations have moved from needing specialist reporters to relying on generalists who not only report and write, but take pictures and videos and record sound. That means newly minted journalists need to arrive with broader skills. Yet 40 percent of 2012 journalism graduates said their educations included too little technical training, a survey by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia found.
"There isn't any possible way the school could teach you everything because things are changing so quickly," says Taylor Goldenstein, who graduated in December with a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and is now interning at the Chicago Tribune. "But I do think that the schools are a little bit behind," especially in teaching such things as coding.
Students seem acutely aware that the way to stake a claim to one of the diminishing number of journalism jobs is to master not only writing and reporting, but videography, social media, and other increasingly complex platforms. In the Poynter survey, more students than educators said knowing HTML, for example, is important.
BuzzFeed deputy editor in chief Shani Hilton agrees that what she wants to see in new employees isn't necessarily specific technical skills, but "agnosticism about format. Some of our news stories are very typical, and some are just big captions with the relevant information, and some involve quizzes. We need people who remember that what makes a news story isn't necessarily the format, but the information." The answer is to teach both basic writing and reporting and technology, says Eric Newton, former managing editor of the Oakland Tribune and senior adviser to the president at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a leading advocate for reforming journalism education: "To teach journalism in the digital age you have to teach both journalism and the digital age—and use modern tools to do it. That's why the schools that are serious about this are getting bigger, not smaller." Newton advocates mimicking medical schools' so-called teaching-hospital model, in which students learn by doing—and which combines the emphasis editors and many educators want to see placed on the liberal arts with some of what students get out of working for campus media, as others advocate.
Just as medical students, under doctors' guidance, learn how to do everything from draw blood to deliver babies, prospective journalists working under experienced professionals can use new tools and techniques to produce real-world journalism. And just as teaching hospitals also are centers for innovation, journalism schools would become laboratories for new ways to cover and produce the news. While the idea is not new, its pace has been accelerating. The Cronkite School has a wire service, a nightly newscast, and student-staffed bureaus in Washington and Phoenix that have created content for 30 Arizona news outlets and The Associated Press. University of Maryland j-school students staff bureaus in Washington and in the state capital of Annapolis that produce stories for Maryland newspapers. Students at Northwestern University's Medill j-school work in newsrooms in inner-city Chicago.
Students at New York University and at CUNY run neighborhood news blogs. Columbia's journalism school produces The New York World news website, which covers city and state government. University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism has created the digital news site Neon Tommy. Florida International University students report for the South Florida News Service, a collaboration with The Miami Herald, The Palm Beach Post, and South Florida Sun Sentinel. And in January the journalism school at the University of Kansas became the latest to add a statehouse bureau, covering the legislature for newspapers statewide.
But the closest thing so far to a pure hospital model is News21, says Newton, under which journalism school students spend months on investigative projects. They are supervised by faculty including former Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie Jr. and Pulitzer Prize-winning computer-assisted reporting expert Steve Doig, among others.
Headquartered at the Cronkite School and supported by $10 million from Knight and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, News21 has covered such topics as voter fraud, finding only a tiny number of cases and raising questions about the motives behind voter ID laws in many states. News21 student journalists have traveled to Guatemala to write about the safety of imported food, and investigated the struggles of veterans. This year, they'll report on gun-control and gun-rights efforts. The future of the project seems assured, even if its foundation funding dries up, since the Cronkite School has gradually assumed 80 percent of its cost.
News21 stories have been published in The Washington Post and elsewhere, and widely cited. In addition to serving students and readers, they put time and manpower behind long-term investigative projects conventional news organizations can no longer afford to do and test new ways of delivering content. The principal cost is faculty, who would be teaching anyway, and the benefit to students is hands-on, real-world experience.
Newton has said the teaching-hospital idea is moving journalism schools into the vanguard of innovation, while the partnerships with news organizations provide another route through which editors and educators talk to one another, a positive development, according to people on both sides of that divide. "We don't mean that newsrooms should serve classrooms and that classrooms should serve newsrooms, but just that they should collaborate and learn to speak a common language," Newton says.
For most of their histories, j-schools have had to look not forward to the industry for which they were preparing students, but over their shoulders at parent universities that considered them pre-professional and outside the traditional liberal arts, and didn't entirely want them, according to a 77-page report, "Educating Journalists: A New Plea for the University Tradition," issued last year by former journalism deans Nicholas Lemann of Columbia, Jean Folkerts of the University of North Carolina, and John Maxwell Hamilton of Louisiana State. Focusing on graduate education, the report urged that journalism continue to be taught in freestanding professional schools in which practicing journalists collaborate with educators. But against the backdrop of disarray in the industry, many universities have moved to merge their journalism programs into other majors or eliminate them altogether.
The provost of Indiana University is proceeding with a contentious plan to move the journalism school out of Ernie Pyle Hall and combine it with the schools of communication, telecommunications, and film. Emory University is phasing out its journalism program as part of a broad reorganization that will focus on "emerging growth areas," such as contemporary China studies. And the University of Colorado at Boulder eliminated its school of journalism in 2011 and demoted journalism to a minor, though it's since decided to open a new College of Media, Communication and Information that would include advertising, public relations, media design, communication, information science, journalism and media studies.
The number of programs in journalism and mass communication is down from 491 in 2011 to 485 in 2012 and the number of graduate programs has fallen from 222 to 217 during the same period, the University of Georgia survey found. It also reported that more than 8 percent of journalism deans say their universities are considering merging their schools with other departments.
The journalism deans surveyed said their obstacles to change include limited resources for new hires and technology courses, and pushback from senior faculty and the campus bureaucracy. Merging journalism schools into larger departments layers on even more of these kinds of barriers, and further bogs down the process at the very time it needs to speed up. Newton calls this the "symphony of slowness." Existential threats are not the j-schools' only problem. Institutions that could once expect lavish support from cash-flush media organizations no longer can. Two in 10 have hiring freezes in place, according to the University of Georgia survey. Undergraduate journalism enrollments have started to drop, falling 2.9 percent in 2012, the last year for which the figure is available. That was the second consecutive decline, and the first time in two decades student numbers have gone down for two years in a row. Master's degree programs are seeing their enrollments decrease even faster, down by 9.4 percent in 2011 and another nearly 3 percent in 2012.
While university-level grants have been most common, Knight Foundation president Alberto Ibargüen recently announced a $250,000 program aimed directly at graduates. Speaking at the Cronkite School in May, Ibargüen said Knight would offer Cronkite graduates up to $15,000 to develop innovative digital storytelling and reporting techniques in their newsrooms.
Universities also now have to contend with much cheaper competing delivery systems such as massive open online courses (MOOCs), short-duration professional certificate programs that take the place of conventional degrees, and other new kinds of credentials. "We are locked in a model that presumes that our students are physically present and dependent on coming into the classroom, and I'm not so sure that's going to persist," says Lee Becker, director of the James M. Cox Jr. Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research at the University of Georgia's journalism school.
The new certificate course at Columbia in coding, databases, and other skills, called the Lede Program, costs $13,456, not including living expenses. A daylong data journalism workshop hosted by Poynter News University, by comparison, goes for an early bird rate of $95. Professional associations such as Investigative Reporters and Editors offer cheap roving data seminars, and the Online News Association runs free full-day start-up, entrepreneurship, and multimedia training.
Some of the journalism schools that are the most innovative are the newest. Housed in its own six-story, $71 million building in downtown Phoenix with 14 digital newsrooms and computer labs, two television studios, and 280 digital student workstations more cutting edge than those of some of the media companies where its graduates go on to work, the Cronkite School was spun off as an independent unit only in 2005. And while other schools' enrollments are going down, its numbers have been going up. So have those at the City University of New York, which opened its Graduate School of Journalism from scratch in 2006 and had a record class this year. "We don't have a lot of the legacy issues that some of my colleagues have," says Sarah Bartlett, dean of the CUNY journalism school.

I was amazed to hear from one of our clients last week, that despite 28 first interviews held in their last recruitment process, they only managed to secure one hire in the whole process. I was chuffed to bits that after sending only 2 people, the chosen shortlisted candidate was mine.
This didn't really help the client much as they are still left with a number of roles to fill.
knowledge of the market research agency process. The industry is extremely competitive and being able to sound like an expert, or certainly someone who knows how to run the whole process is critical to success.
In many ways these elements are typical to the success of many roles and jobs in London but they are definitely good pointers when applying for a new role . How does your application fit in with the above?

Cytoscape (http://www.cytoscape.org) is an open source software platform for visualizing networks and integrating these with any type of attribute data. Although Cytoscape was originally designed for biological research, now it is a general platform for network analysis and visualization. A variety of layout algorithms are available, including cyclic, tree, force-directed, edge-weight, and yFiles Organic layouts.
Cytoscape is available as a plugin in the extended version of the Sci2 Tool. To visualize networks in Sci2 using Cystoscape, first you have to extend the Sci2 Tool according to the directions at Section 3.2 Additional Plugins.
To exemplify how to use Cytoscape to visualize Networks, let's use Dr. Börner's co-authorship network generated above. To visualize this network, run 'Visualization > Networks > Cytoscape'.
In Cytoscape, the Layout menu has an array of features for organizing the network visually according to one of several algorithms, aligning and rotating groups of nodes, and adjusting the size of the network.
Now, run 'Layout > Cytoscape Layouts > Spring Embedded'. This spring-embedded layout is based on a "force-directed" paradigm as implemented by Kamada and Kawai (1988). Network nodes are treated like physical objects that repel each other, such as electrons. The connections between nodes are treated like metal springs attached to the pair of nodes. These springs repel or attract their end points according to a force function. The layout algorithm sets the positions of the nodes in a way that minimizes the sum of forces in the network. To see a description of all layouts and functionalities available in Cystoscape see Cytoscape User Manual.

The main network view window, which displays the network.
The Data Panel (bottom panel), which displays attributes of selected nodes and edges and enables you to modify the values of attributes.
One of Cytoscape's strengths in network visualization is the ability to allow users to encode any attribute of their data (name, type, degree, weight, expression data, etc.) as a visual property (such as color, size, transparency, or font type). A set of these encoded or mapped attributes is called a Visual Style and can be created or edited using the Cytoscape VizMapper. VizMapper is located at the second tab at the Control Panel.
a white background and round gray nodes.
All visual attributes are listed in the Unused Properties category. From this panel, you can create node/edge mappings for all visual properties.
Double click the Node Size entry listed in Unused Properties. Node Size will now appear at the top of the list, under the Node Visual Mapping category (as shown below).
Click on the cell to the right of the Node Size entry and select Degree from the drop-down list that appears. Set the Continuous Mapping option as the Mapping Type.
Double-click on the black-and-blue rectangle next to Graphical View to open the Continuous Editor for Node Size. Double-lick on the second point (set at 30.0 initially) and type as 120 as the new value. The nodes size will be immediately updated. Close the Continuous Editor for Node Size.

The second part of Katy Börner's research profile will focus on her Co-PIs. The data can be downloaded for free using NSF's Award Search (See section 4.2.2.1 NSF Award Search) by searching for "Katy Borner" in the "Principal Investigator" field and keeping the "Include CO-PI" box checked.
If you are using a current format (2014 or later) NSF dataset, use a comma in the Text Delimiter field for all algorithms that ask for it, instead of the pipe used in the older format NSF files.
Select the "Extracted Network on Column All Investigators" network and run 'Analysis > Networks > Network Analysis Toolkit (NAT)' to reveal that there are 13 nodes and 28 edges without isolates in the network. Click on "Extracted Network on Column All Investigators" and select 'Visualization > Networks > GUESS' to visualize the resulting Co-PI network. Select 'GEM' from the layout menu.
The generated postscript file "HorizontalBarGraph_KatyBorner.ps" can be viewed using Adobe Distiller or GhostViewer (see section 2.4 Saving Visualizations for Publication).

The Sci2 Tool supports the analysis of evolving networks. For this study, load Alessandro Vespignani's publication history from ISI, which can be downloaded from Thomson's Web of Science or loaded using 'File > Load' and following this path: 'yoursci2directory/sampledata/scientometrics/isi/AlessandroVespignani.isi'using' (if the file is not in the sample data directory it can be downloaded from 2.5 Sample Datasets).
Choosing "Years" under "Slice Into" creates multiple tables beginning from January 1st of the first year. If "Months" is chosen, it will start from the first day of the earliest month in the chosen time interval.
To see the evolution of Vespignani's co-authorship network over time, check "cumulative". Then, extract co-authorship networks one at a time for each sliced time table using 'Data Preparation > Extract Co-Author Network', making sure to select "ISI" from the pop-up window during the extraction. To view each of the Co-Authorship Networks over time using the same graph layout, begin by clicking on longest slice network (the 'Extracted Co-Authorship Network' under 'slice from beginning of 1990 to end of 2006 (101 records)') in the data manager. Visualize it in GUESS using 'Visualization > Networks > GUESS'. From here, run 'Layout > GEM' followed by 'Layout > Bin Pack'. Run 'Script > Run Script ...' and select ' yoursci2directory/scripts/GUESS/co-author-nw.py'.
The resulting visualization is of the complete co-authorship network over all years. Use Node Locking to save the x, y coordinates of each node and apply them to the other time slices. In GUESS, select 'File > Export Node Positions' and save the result as 'yoursci2directory/NodePositions.csv'. Load the remaining three networks in GUESS using the steps described above and for each network visualization, run 'File > Import Node Positions' and open 'yoursci2directory/NodePositions.csv'. To match the resulting networks stylistically with the original visualization, run 'Script > Run Script ...' and select ' yoursci2directory/scripts/GUESS/co-author-nw.py', followed by 'Layout > Bin Pack', for each. The evolving network is shown in Figure 5.4.

Bangalore (India) (AFP) – Opener David Warner hit a sparkling century in his 100th one-day international to help Australia down India by 21 runs and pull off a consolation win on Thursday.
Warner's blazing 124 and his 231-run opening stand with Aaron Finch, who made 94, guided the visitors to 334-5 in the fourth game of the five-match series in Bangalore.
Fast bowlers Kane Richardson and Nathan Coulter-Nile shared five wickets between them to snap India's winning streak of nine ODI games.
Virat Kohli's India began its reply on a positive note as openers Rohit Sharma, who hit 65, and Ajinkya Rahane, who made 53, put together a 106-run stand.
The batsman got to his milestone with a boundary off part-time spinner Jadhav, jumping for joy as the runs were marked up. He later fell to Jadhav's off-spin and walked off to a standing ovation.


Austin Spy Shop was recently featured by Fox 7 news Tania Ortega. Thank you for supporting local business!
Suspect nefarious activities are going on in your life? Consider paying a visit to Austin Spy Shop. This mom-and-pop store sells audio recording devices, GPS trackers, hidden cameras and other tools that can help the average person solve a wide range of personal problems, from theft to home invasion. Kiva McDonald and former Austin Police Department undercover officer Lyndon Lueders opened the venture in January 2014 after working together on private investigations for four years. They find their shop fills a legitimate need in Austin. "Our primary focus is on preventing the bad guys," Lueders says. "If someone's stealing from you or something terrible is happening, you want to be able to talk to someone who understands what you may need to stop it and keep it from happening again." Business is booming—so much so that the co-owners are opening two stores this summer in La Grange and Killeen and developing their own product line featuring a full HD camera system for homes and businesses with remote feeds on smart phones. They've also teamed up with local artists to create faux pieces that blend into home decor. Taking matters into your own hands has never been so satisfying.


A traditional mesothelioma lawsuit takes much longer than an asbestos bankruptcy trust claim to settle. Unlike filing a lawsuit, a bankruptcy claim filed by an experienced asbestos attorney is a simpler process that takes less time and is much less stressful. You do not have to give testimony, give a deposition or go to trial.
Instead, you talk with one of our attorneys, who can then determine which asbestos products you were exposed to. Seems simple, but this is one of the most important reasons to have one of our attorneys represent and guide you. Determining the products you were exposed to and which companies are responsible takes an expert. We have been exclusively helping clients with this process for over three decades and are very experienced in identifying which bankrupt companies to file claims against.
Our mesothelioma attorneys are uniquely experienced in proving your claim, negotiating with asbestos trusts, and ensuring final settlements and fair payments.
While some trusts claims are settled quickly, others can take a year or longer to resolve. Depending on the degree of your illness and proof of exposure, the amounts from bankruptcy trust claims can be quite significant.
Statute of Limitations – even if the time has passed for bringing a mesothelioma lawsuit, you may still be eligible to file a bankruptcy trust claim. The statute of limitations varies, so contact our attorneys who can quickly determine if you qualify to file.
Legitimacy and degree of your illness (proved through medical records showing your diagnosis). Generally speaking, the more severe your illness is, with mesothelioma being the most severe, the higher the settlement amount of your claim.
Proof of exposure to the asbestos products produced, manufactured or used by the company represented by the trust.
Our asbestos attorneys will gather the evidence needed to meet these requirements. If you worked with or around the bankrupt company's asbestos containing products during the period of time when asbestos was in use, we can get documents such as employment records, affidavits, co-workers testimony, invoices and other related documents that meet the criteria required by the trusts.
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or an asbestos related disease, call us today and we can help determine which trusts you may be eligible to file a claim against and collect money from.

Dan Kasprzyk, Russ Yelton, Drinking Horn Meadery Honored in Moonshot Awards
By FBN on November 5, 2019 in Business
Dan Kasprzyk, founder of startups Symple Surgical and Poba Medical, received the Carolyn Shoemaker Award at the first Moonshot Entrepreneur Awards, presented by Moonshot at NACET, the region's entrepreneurial development program.
The Shoemaker Award was created to honor entrepreneurs who have graduated from the Moonshot program at NACET and gone on to establish businesses in the greater Flagstaff area that hire local employees. The recipient is chosen by a panel made up of members of the Northern Arizona Leadership Alliance.
The award is named for Carolyn Shoemaker, a pioneering astronomer who at one point held the record for the most comet discoveries (32) in addition to more than 800 asteroids and almost 400 minor planets. With her husband, Gene, she established the USGS Center for Astrogeology in Flagstaff.
"Carolyn is the perfect example of entrepreneurship and the process of reinvention," said Moonshot at NACET President and CEO Scott Hathcock. "She is a trailblazer, a true moonshot thinker in astronomy – a field she didn't begin working in until she was 51 years old. She perfectly illustrates that with passion and a newly discovered purpose, you can achieve great things."
Katoohla and Mother Road Brewing Company were also honored with honorary Shoemaker awards as past graduates of the program.
This year, in addition to cultivating entrepreneurs in Flagstaff, Moonshot at NACET held a "Pioneer Pitch Tour" throughout the state, a series of events to identify promising startups in Navajo and Apache counties, Flagstaff, Page, Chandler and the Verde Valley. The tour was sponsored by APS, which selected Drinking Horn Meadery, a Flagstaff brewery, as the overall winning business from the tour.
Russ Yelton, former head of NACET, received the Mission Control award for his past service to building the entrepreneurial program. This award is given to a past or present volunteer or employee of Moonshot at NACET.
The ceremony kicked off a weekend of events celebrating entrepreneurship, including a premiere showing of the documentary series TrueFuture.tv at the Orpheum Theater. The program highlights people in the medical device industry and the communities that nurture their ideas and startups. The first episode featured Flagstaff and local entrepreneurs and innovators, including Kasprzyk.
In addition to APS, sponsors of the Moonshot Awards ceremony included Amazon Web Services, the City of Flagstaff, Foothills Bank, Real AZ, AWD Law, WL Gore, POBA Medical, Kinney Construction, Lowell Observatory, Verde Valley Regional Economic Organization and Little America Hotel, where the event was held.
Sponsors for the TrueFuture Flagstaff screening included Machine Solutions, POBA Medical, Symple Surgical, Wanderlust Brewery, the city of Flagstaff and the Orpheum Theater. FBN

Tokyo, Japan, December 8, 2014 – Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (hereafter, Daiichi Sankyo) today announced that it has launched a new formulation of LIXIANA®60 mg Tablets (JAN: Edoxaban Tosilate Hydrate, INN: edoxaban, approval to market: September 26, 2014; NHI drug price listing: November 25, 2014) in Japan for the recently approved indications: the prevention of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and the treatment and recurrence prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) [deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PE)].
Edoxaban is an investigational, oral, once-daily anticoagulant that specifically inhibits factor Xa, which is an important factor in the coagulation system that leads to blood clotting.20 The global edoxaban clinical trial program includes two phase 3 clinical studies, Hokusai-VTE and ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 (Effective aNticoaGulation with factor xA next GEneration in Atrial Fibrillation), which included nearly 30,000 patients combined. The results from these trials form the basis of regulatory filings for edoxaban for symptomatic VTE in patients with DVT and/or PE, and for the prevention of stroke in NVAF, respectively.21,22 Edoxaban is currently under regulatory review in the U.S. and the EU for these indications.

Ancient Heroes Surviving Crucifixions
Filed under: Ancient Literature, Novels and Fables
Tags: Chariton: Chaereas and Callirhoe, Crucifixions in ancient literature, Iamblichus: A Babylonian Story, Xenophon: Ephesian Tale
Another element that the gospels and ancient fiction have in common is the trope of the innocent hero who is ordered to be crucified by an innocent/ignorant/unjust ruler but who nonetheless survives.
The silent victim
The first instance comes from the same novel that contained the empty tomb adventure, Chaereas and Callirhoe. The chief victim is silent.
They were brought out chained together at foot and neck, each carrying his cross — the men executing the sentence added this grim public spectacle to the inevitable punishment as an example to frighten the other prisoners. Now Chaereas said nothing when he was led off with the others, but Polycharmus, as he carried his cross, said: "Callirhoe, it is because of you that we are suffering like this! You are the cause of all our troubles!" (4.2)
The king changes his mind and orders Chaereas to be taken down from the cross.
This story was greeted with tears and groans, and Mithridates sent everybody off to reach Chaereas before he died. They found the rest nailed up on their crosses; Chaereas was just ascending his. So they shouted to them from far off. "Spare him!" cried some; others, "Come down!" or "Don't hurt him!" or "Let him go!" So the executioner checked his gesture, and Chaereas climbed down from his cross — with sorrow in his heart, for he was glad to be leaving a life of misery and ill-starred love. As he was being brought, Mithridates met him and embraced him. "My brother, my friend!" he said. "Your silence almost misled me into committing a crime! Your self-control was quite out of place!" Straightaway he told his servants to take them to the baths and see to their physical well-being, and when they had bathed, to give them luxurious Greek clothes to wear. He himself invited men of rank to a banquet and offered sacrifice for Chaereas's rescue. They drank deep, and there was generous hospitality and cheerful rejoicing. (4.3)
Prayer for salvation from the cross
In another novella, An Ephesian Tale by Xenophon of Ephesus, another injustice is done by the ruler and an innocent man is ordered crucified. The hero prays from the cross and the god miraculously rescues him — twice, actually.
Meanwhile Habrocomes came before the prefect of Egypt. The Pelusians had made him a report of what had happened, mentioning Araxus's death and stating that Habrocomes, a household slave, had been the perpetrator of so foul a crime. When the prefect heard the particulars, he made no further effort to find out the facts but gave orders to have Habrocomes taken away and crucified. Habrocomes himself was dumbfounded at his miseries and consoled himself at his impending death with the thought that Anthia, so it seemed, was dead as well. The prefect's agents brought him to the banks of the Nile, where there was a sheer drop overlooking the torrent. They set up the cross and attached him to it, tying his hands and feet tight with ropes; that is the way the Egyptians crucify. They then went away and left him hanging there, thinking that their victim was securely in place. But Habrocomes looked straight at the sun, then at the Nile channel, and prayed: "Kindest of the gods, ruler of Egypt, revealer of land and sea to all men: if I, Habrocomes, have done anything wrong, may I perish miserably and incur an even greater penalty if there is one; but if I have been betrayed by a wicked woman, I pray that the waters of the Nile should never be polluted by the body of a man unjustly killed; nor should you look on such a sight, a man who has done no wrong being murdered on your territory." The god took pity on his prayer. A sudden gust of wind arose and struck the cross, sweeping away the subsoil on the cliff where it had been fixed. Habro- comes fell into the torrent and was swept away; the water did him no harm; his fetters did not get in his way; nor did the river creatures do him any harm as he passed, but the current guided him along. He was arrested him and took him before the prefect as a fugitive from justice. He was still angrier than before, took Habrocomes for an out-and-out villain, and gave firm orders to build a pyre, put Habrocomes on it, and bum him. And so everything was made ready, the pyre was set up at the delta, Habrocomes was put on it, and the fire had been lit underneath. But just as the flames were about to engulf him, he again prayed the few words he could to be saved from the perils that threatened. Then the Nile rose in spate, and the surge of water struck the pyre and put out the flames. To those who witnessed it the event seemed like a miracle: they took Habrocomes and brought him before the prefect, told him what had happened, and explained how the Nile had come to his rescue. He was amazed when he heard what had happened and ordered Habrocomes to be kept in custody, but to be well looked after till they could find out who he was and why the gods were looking after him like this. (4.2)
Mocking procession
We only have an ancient summary of A Babylonian Story (by Iamblichus). It reads like a set of notes for a story to be fleshed out at a later time. It begins with a summary of the plot:
The characters in the story are the attractive Sinonis and Rhodanes, who are joined by the mutual ties of love and marriage, and the Babylonian king Garmus. After the death of his wife, he falls in love with Sinonis and is eager to marry her. Sinonis refuses and is bound in gold chains. The king's eunuchs Damas and Sacas are given the task of putting Rhodanes onto a cross for this reason. But through Sinonis's efforts he is taken down, and they each avoid their fate, he of crucifixion, she of marriage.
The mocking procession to the crucifixion:
When Soraechus was being taken to be crucified, Rhodanes was being led to and hoisted onto the cross that had been designated for him earlier by a garlanded and dancing Garmus, who was drunk and dancing round the cross with the flute players and reveling with abandon.
The king orders the hero to be taken down from the coss and appoints him general of his army:
While this is happening, Sacas informs Garmus by letter that Sinonis is marrying the youthful king of Syria. Rhodanes rejoices up high on the cross, but Garmus makes to kill himself. He checks himself, however, and brings down Rhodanes from the cross against his will (for he prefers to die); he appoints him general and sends him to command his army . . . .

Q: jQuery GET overwiting POST I've got a simple jQuery script that isn't behaving correctly. What am I doing wrong? The idea is that the user enters a value into a textbox and then clicks a button. The jQuery then uses POST to send the value to a PHP file. The PHP file then runs a simple SQL query and gives a response. jQuery .load is then used to refresh the div containing the original php.
Using Chrome's tools, I've noticed that the response for POST is perfect. However, it then gets overwritten by a GET with no data.
jQuery:
$("#GOtest").click(function() {
var customer = $("#customer").val();
if (customer == '') {
  $('#alert_formula_save_failed').show();
}
else {
  $.post("../assets/forms/formulations/set_session.php", {
    customer: customer,

    }, function(data) {
      $('#alert_formula_save_success').show();
      $('#dynamic').load('../assets/forms/formulations/set_session.php');
      $('#alert_formula_save_failed').hide();
      setTimeout(function() { $('#alert_formula_save_success').fadeOut('fast'); }, 3000);
  });
}
});

PHP:
 <?php
$customer = null;
$customer = 'Test' ;
$customer2 = $_POST['customer'] ;

.. db connection bits ;

try
{
    $PDO =  new PDO( "mysql:host=".$host.";"."dbname=".$dbname, $user, $pass);
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
    die($e->getMessage());
}
    $PDO->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM db_customers where customer = '$customer' ";
    $stmt = $PDO->prepare($sql);
    $stmt->execute(array($id));
    $data = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    $PDO = null;

    $iscurrent  = $data['iscurrent'];

    echo '
' ;
    echo 'Response 1-' ;
    echo $iscurrent;
    echo '
' ;
    echo 'Response 2-' ;
    echo $customer2 ;

?>

HTML:
<form id="testform" name="testform" method="POST">
    <button type="button" name="GOtest" id="GOtest" class="btn btn-info">

        SET SESSION
    </button>

The idea being that 'response 1' just echoes a predefined value. Response 2 should just echo out whatever is typed into the text input box.. but the GET overwrites everything.

A: The "issue" is this line:
$('#dynamic').load('../assets/forms/formulations/set_session.php');

It uses GET by default.
Try using this in its place:
$('#dynamic').html(data);

Shiny is an R Studio application that allows you to how host your R code on a website. This is a great method for creating a dashboard or deploying a predictive model. The best part is, it is free. There are, however, paid services associated with R Studio and Shiny if you want to get professional support and such.
In this lesson, we are going to learn to build a Shiny server application step by step.
Next, we are going to learn about the three parts of a Shiny server application.
server: server is the brains of the operation. This is where you load and manipulate any data being used in your page. Again, if you are a web developer, think Java Script here.
shinyApp: this is the code that launches your App.
Note the IP address in the upper left. If you copy this into a browser of your choice, it will run there too.
You will see the same address in the R Console. As long as the R Shiny server is running, you will see this Listening command. For those not familiar, the address 127.0.0.1 is called a pingback address. This is the internal address of the NIC card on your machine. This means the server is running on the machine you are on. The :4654 is the port my computer grabbed. This can be different for you. The easiest way for me to explain the port without going too deep into network theory is: think of it like a TV channel. From your computer, you could technically be running hundreds of these R Shiny servers. The port (TV channel) is what tells the computer which one of these web pages you want to visit.
Then, using my example, type http://10.171.46.91:4654 into the second computer's browser and you should see your Shiny website.
Let's see if we can make our website more interesting, let's start easy, we will format the text.
First close out your shiny window to end the session.
Change your ui line to match the one below.
Okay, now let's actually add some R data magic to this.
Let's break down the new code. First thing first, we are loading the built in datasets library and grabbing the mtcars data set from it.
First thing you will notice is function(input, output) – this is a standard call that allows you to pass information back and forth through the server code. In our example, we are only using the output right now.
Next, in the ui I renamed the title panel and in the mainPanel, I added the command plotOutput("mpgData"). That will allow me to post the boxplot I created in the server to the ui web page.
Now let's add a little interactivity to our web page. We are going to give the user the option to view the boxplots with or without the outliers taken into effect.
— notice the variable name is input$outliers It is a composite of the variable from our checkboxinput method and "input" from out function(input, output) function that opens up our server.
This can be a very frustrating problem for many Qlik users.
Click on the Expression box and the formula window opens.
Hit apply and check your Filter box.
Word Clouds are great visualization techniques for dealing with text analytics. The idea behind them is they display the most common words in a corpus of text. The more often a word is used, the larger and darker it is.
Making a word cloud in R is relatively easy. The tm and wordcloud libraries from R's CRAN repository is used to create one.
Now in order to make a word cloud, you first need a collection of words. In our example I am going to use a text file I created from the Wikipedia page on R.
Now let's load the data file.
 "R is an implementation of the S programming language "
Now we need to move the text into a tm element called a Corpus. First we need to convert the vector text into a VectorSource.
Now we need to pre-process the data. Let's start by removing punctuation from the corpus.
Next we need to set all the letters to lower case. This is because R differentiates upper and lower case letters. So "Program" and "program" would treated as 2 different words. To change that, we set everything to lowercase.
Next we will remove stopwords. Stopwords are commonly used words that provide no value to the evaluation of the text. Examples of stopwords are: the, a, an, and, if, or, not, with ….
Now we have a word cloud, let's add some more elements to it.
This is part two of my Qlik Sense tutorial on how to build a dashboard. In this part I will be covering some more advanced topics, namely formulas and set analysis.
This is the expression editor. It is currently summing up the values of the Scheduled column. Scheduled is a binary with 1 meaning scheduled inspection and 0 not scheduled. So summing up this column will tell me how many scheduled inspections I have in my data set.
Delete the current expression and start typing Count(WorkOrderKey), you should notice a helper box popping up asking if this is the field you are looking for.
This will give us the total work orders – number of scheduled work orders. The result being total unscheduled work orders.
Set analysis is Qlik's way of localizing filters. If I were to apply a filter of Scheduled = True to my dashboard, all charts and graphs in my dashboard would be filtered to only show Scheduled work orders. But what if I didn't want that. What if I only want to filter my bar chart by Scheduled work orders? That is where set analysis comes in.
Now we are going to add one more element, and I promise, this will be the most difficult thing we tackle here. And it actually looks a lot worse than it actually is.
Looks horrible right? Well, let's break it down.
Everything in blue was covered in the last example, so we can get rid of that.
Now we just have this.
Gauge – How many pumps are in the shop?
Grab gauge from the left bar and drag it to the bottom of your sheet.
Again, don't let it intimidate you, let's break it down.
The second expression says count all rows contain infusion pumps. I added the distinct key word so that any individual piece of equipment that appears more than once in my list won't be counted twice by accident.
Now, lets make it look nice.
Now I did tradition green, yellow, red, but you can use any color combination you want.
Now select Excel files – I created my real dashboard using the SQL connector, however it is easier to load the Excel files. So I am using Excel in this lesson. I will show how to load SQL into QLIK in another lesson.
Note – you can uncheck columns you do not want to use from your data, but I have already removed all unwanted columns for this exercise.
You will now be asked for a Dimension and a Measure. If you are not familiar with these terms in data, a dimension is like a category while a measure is something you can add, count, etc.
Now resize your bar chart by dragging it by the corner.
Now lets clean it up. Click in the upper right corners of your charts that say Click to add title. Give your charts some titles.
Once you have done that, click the Done button in the upper right corner.
Now play with your new dashboard.
In the next lesson, I will show how to add more versatility to your dashboard through used of formulas and Set Analysis.
This article here is more of a show and tell than a how to lesson. I wanted to demonstrate a really cool product that I have been demoing for work called QLIK Sense. I work for a Clinical Engineering Department at a multi-site hospital system. While the main thrust of my job is data related, the department as a whole is responsible for the maintenance of medical equipment, everything from IV pumps to MRI machines. Anyone who has ever worked into a busy maintenance/service environment knows how difficult it can be to optimize labor so that proper resources are allocated to the right jobs.
One great tool that can help is an operations dashboard. This gives everyone in the shop a single point of reference for what is happening at any given time. Using QLIK Sense, I was able quickly to connect my work order database and within less than an hour, I had the following dashboard created.
Next I have a trend line showing work orders created vs closed over time. Next to that, I have a pie chart showing what departments the majority of my repair calls are originating from.
On the bottom, I have a gauge that shows the number of IV Pumps in the shop for repair vs the total number of pumps in Inventory. The goal is to keep that number below 20%. So as the needle starts edging towards red, we know to move resources onto pumps.
Finally, I have open repair work orders by employee.
Or you can simple click on any element with the dashboard to filter the data.
Notice that after selecting Monitor Technicians from the Department Pie Chart, my Repair Work Orders by Employee chart has automatically filtered down to only the employees with work orders open in that department.
With the trend line graph, I can use the "lasso" to select a range I want to filter by.
Of course you can simply "fly over" element in the dashboard to get information as well.
I know a lot of people out there are still living in the world of static reporting. Getting near real time information up in front of the decision makers can allow them to make near real time decisions. The days of basing decisions off of a static report run daily or even (gasp.. ) weekly are over. We need to start deploying tools like this dashboard so we can manage less by what we think is happening and more by what we know is happening.
We have 4 columns in our data, weight, Time, Chick, and Diet.
Now, let's build our ggplot model. Below, we are setting our model to a variable "p1". We then set ChickWeight as our data set and the weight column to our x axis. Remember, nothing will happen when running the line below.
Now, using facets, I am going to take it one step further and separate this into 4 histograms, one for each diet.
In a histogram, we don't need to worry about assigning a Y axis, the Y axis is the frequency count of our X variable.
Let's set our data and x axis in ggplot. Let's also assign it to variable.
In our geom, I set a binwidth. This tells us how wide to make our bars. Setting binwidth to 10 makes each bar 10 units wide.
Now, let's set our colors based on our 2nd column "feed". Note how a legend is automatically generated.
For the finishing touch, let's add some black bordering around our boxes.
So I am trying out Qlik Sense as a possible BI option for work. I have some limited experience (through grad school) working with another one of their products Qlik View. I will say right from the get go, Qlik Sense is much more user friendly.
Qlik then asks if I would like to Create a New App.
I click Create A New APP and I get a window to name it.
Now I am brought to a page to add my data. I have two options, one a more GUI driven method, and the other that will allow me to create my data model using Qlik's script (very similar to SQL).
I am going to go with the GUI method for now.
Next I select a file QlikTEst.xlsx that I put together for this test drive.
My file appears in preview mode. Notice I am able to select both sheets to load and unselect columns I don't want.
I click Prepare Data at the bottom and I am brought to this screen. Notice the red triangle warning on the bottom of the screen. It says I have possible associations.
I click the warning and I now have a recommendation for an association to make between sheets. My Equipmentkey column matches up(53%) on both sheets.
Qlik now brings you to a work sheet.
I want to create a bar chart, so I drag one in from the menu column.
And I have a bar chart.
And I now have a live interactive bar chart.
Qlik Sense is insanely easy to get up an running. You really don't need to know much more than how to drag and drop. However, if you are like me and enjoy getting under the hood, Qlik does allow you custom code your data models and formulas.
My only complaint, and this could be because I am new and don't know a work around, is having to hit Done to leave the edit screen before I can test the interactivity of my charts.
Note I am using a list comprehension to fill the x axis.
Here I use another list comprehension and zip to make our last like. This adds each element of list u and d in order.


I'd like to say that I'm quite happy with GTranslate. I tried the free version, got it working well, then purchsased GTranslate Pro. To my delight (and after following instructions exactly) saw that it was translating pages as I checked one flag then another.
The translations did take a while to process. But I am assuming that once translated, they go into the cache and this will speed up user experience.
What I discovered however is that after a few translations, my site would not translate any more.
I did notice that if I waited 15 minutes, I could get more pages translated, but only a few.
I'd like to cache all my pages so that users don't have to wait (they may think the site is broken). If I have to do this slowly, it would be great to have a macro or some server-side process to do the work automatically.
Most likely that you have reached the daily limit. If you want you can reconfigure the free version to not work with the Pro, so users will still use the free version, but the search engine crawlers will do their job and over time your translation cache will grow. Then probably after a week when you notice that the API key usage drops from 100% in the https://code.google.com/apis/console/ you can enable the Pro feature back. You can also disable some languages you are not interested in to save the translation traffic.
Edvard, thank you. I'll switch back and let the crawlers do the work.
your module is wonderful, my visits are increased, but version pro which i have purchased doesnt work! free version work properly traslating all pages, other hand i tried to follow your suggest to let work free traslator to get traslated all pages to change configuration after but cache is not increased and page stay in the italian site original language.
Just home page is traslated (and not entire, new articles are not translated), and if i click on a article is still in italian.
I need to traslate all site in several languages starting from english, as free version do properly, then use google api for the weekly maintenance translation for the new article.
Can you help me? do you provide paied assistance direct on the site to configure all correctly?
Can you check your cache folder, do you see files inside the folders with the language code?
please find this problem...I had paid for the Pro version and can not use it....that is not ok.
please help, test it on your page.

Did you already check your API key usage as suggested?
The Api code, i have put in the config with copy and paste.

converted it into a fort in 1803.
Remember Mission San Antonio de Valero? Known today as The Alamo, this Spanish mission complex was the first of six San Antonio missions founded by Catholic missionaries along the San Antonio River in the early 1700s. The mission was a town and learning center to acculturate the local indigenous people to Christianity and Spanish life. After the mission secularized at the end of the 18th century, Spanish soldiers used the mission church as a fort during Mexico's fight for independence from Spain. During the Texas Revolution, a small garrison of Texan soldiers died defending The Alamo against the Mexican army. Today, The Alamo, a National Historic Landmark, is located in the heart of downtown San Antonio.
In the late 17th century, Spain sent colonists to settle in East Texas to prevent the French from moving into the land west of Louisiana. As they did in other parts of Spanish America, missionaries played an important role in establishing settlements, spreading Spanish culture and Catholicism, and overseeing Spanish interests in Texas. Fray Antonio de Olivares led the Franciscan missionaries who founded the San Antonio de Valero Mission in 1718. The Spanish began construction of the current stone mission complex in 1744. The complex included a chapel, a convento (priest's residence), small dwellings, storehouses, and workshops. The Franciscan operation there lasted until the end of the century, when Spain closed the mission (secularization).
Soon after the mission closed, a company of Spanish Calvary called the Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras arrived and established a fort. The soldiers were from Alamo del Parras in Coahuila, Mexico, and after arrival, the locals began to call the complex "The Alamo." In 1805, the army built the first European hospital in Texas at the fort. During the Mexican Revolution, the Spanish and the Mexicans fought for control of The Alamo, and the Mexican army occupied the complex between 1821 and 1835.
1852 drawing of Mexican General and leader Santa Anna, who led an army of 5,000 soldiers to take the garrison from Texan rebels in 1836.
During this period of occupation, the newly independent Republic of Mexico invited foreign immigrants to settle in Texas, which was part of the Mexican State of Coahuila y Tejas. Most were Americans. Some immigrated legally, adopting Mexican culture and Catholicism, but others came illegally. By the end of the 1820s, Anglo American immigrants outnumbered the Mexican population. When the government in Mexico City tried to remove them from Texas and regain control of the region, violence broke out between immigrants and those loyal to Mexico. After a period of mismanagement by the distant Mexican government, Texans of both American and Mexican heritage organized a rebellion in October of 1835 to push out the Mexican government and form the independent Republic of Texas.
The Texan rebels took The Alamo in December of 1835 and held it until their defeat in March. In January, the rebels received news that Mexican General Santa Anna was marching north with a large army, but the disorganized Texan government could not get enough reinforcements to the Texan rebels in The Alamo in time. A force of 5,000 Mexican soldiers arrived in San Antonio on February23. Santa Anna's siege lasted 13 days and he lost 1,544 men in the fighting. By the end, all 187 Texan men garrisoned at The Alamo died defending it against Santa Anna's attack. The only survivors were a small number of noncombatants, mostly women and children. Of the 187 who died, 13 were native Texans with 11 of the 13 Tejanos, Texans of Mexican descent. Forty-one were born in Europe and the rest were from the United States. Ultimately, the Texas army, which American native Samuel Houston led, won the war and forced Santa Anna to concede Texas to the rebels. In 1845, the United States annexed the Republic of Texas, an act that helped spark the U.S.-Mexican War the following year.
After the rebellion, the Republic of Texas handed The Alamo over to the Roman Catholic Church. In 1848, the Church leased the property to the U.S. government. It passed to the Confederacy and then back to the U.S. during the Civil War, and the U.S. government used it for quartermaster's purposes until 1872. A private citizen purchased the convento from the Church in 1877, and in 1883, the State of Texas bought the chapel. In 1905, the Texas governor acquired the convent and bestowed the entire complex upon the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, who managed the historic site until the early 2010s. Today the site is overseen by the Texas State Land Office.
By the mid-19th century, The Alamo was in poor condition.
Immediately after construction was complete in 1757, the church had two stone towers flanking the sides of the front façade and a roof with a barrel vault and dome. After five years, these towers and the ceiling collapsed destroying the roof and leaving the building filled with debris. A new church was begun, but never completed – that is what is seen today. By the time of the siege, the property was in poor condition. Located within the restored ruins of the original mission wall, the church of The Alamo is a white stone building, decorated with ornamental stonework on the front façade. The chapel appears much as it did in 1849 when the distinctive parapet was added by the U.S. Army. Its solid masonry is four feet thick, 75 feet long, 62 feet wide, and 22 ½ feet high. Like many Catholic churches, the chapel is cruciform and buttressed on its sidewalls. It would have contained a baptistery, confessional, and sacristy.
In 1920, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas put a metal roof over the chapel, replaced the woodwork on the side and rear doors, and replaced the windows. Other restored buildings on the property include two living quarters. The Daughters converted the grounds around the historic buildings into a park in 1936. Continued preservation work ensures the Alamo's survival.
Located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, The Alamo is open to the public year-round. The landscaped mission complex includes exhibits on Texas history, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library, the museum shop and gardens. The Alamo staff offer history talks and tours for the public. Other nearby San Antonio historic attractions include San Antonio Missions National Historical Park and the Spanish Governor's Palace.
The Alamo, a National Historic Landmark, is located at 300 Alamo Plaza in downtown San Antonio, TX. Click here for the National Historic Landmark file: text and photos. It is open everyday of the week from 9:00am to 5:30pm, except during June, July, and August when it is open until 7:00pm. The Alamo is closed Dec. 24-25. For more information, visit the The Alamo website or call 210-225-1391.
The Alamo and other San Antonio missions are the subjects of an online lesson plan, San Antonio Missions: Spanish Influence in Texas. The lesson plan has been produced by the National Park Service's Teaching with Historic Places program, which offers a series of online classroom-ready lesson plans on registered historic places. To learn more, visit the Teaching with Historic Places home page. The Alamo has been documented by the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey. The Alamo is featured in the National Park Service South and West Texas Travel Itinerary.
