Sixteen-year old Mira smuggles food into the Ghetto to keep herself and her family alive. When she discovers that the entire Ghetto is to be "liquidated"--killed or "resettled" to concentration camps--she desperately tries to find a way to save her family. She meets a group of young people who are planning the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. Mira joins the resistance fighters who, with minimal supplies and weapons, end up holding out for twenty-eight days, longer than anyone had thought possible.

Overnight, her life changes. She is dropped into a new school where she doesn't understand the language and struggles to keep up. She is completely cut off from her friends in Seoul and has no access to her beloved comics.

Then one day Robin's mother enrolls her in a local comic drawing class, which opens the window to a future Robin could never have imagined.
Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman; Jay Kristoff
Our heroes are back . . . kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic Aurora Cycle series about a squad of misfits, losers, and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy's best hope for survival. First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder An alien warrior with anger-management issues A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem--that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy. NOBODY PANIC.
Bent Heavens by Daniel Kraus
"Kraus gets under your skin with brutal, elegant efficiency. Necessarily horrifying, devastatingly timely."--Kiersten White, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein and Slayer From New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus comes a breakneck, genre-defying YA thriller perfect for fans of Kiersten White, Neal Shusterman, and M. T. Anderson. Liv Fleming's father went missing more than two years ago, not long after he claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Liv has long accepted that he's dead, though that doesn't mean she has given up their traditions. Every Sunday, she and her lifelong friend Doug Monk trudge through the woods to check the traps Lee left behind, traps he set to catch the aliens he so desperately believed were after him. But Liv is done with childhood fantasies. Done pretending she believes her father's absurd theories. Done going through the motions for Doug's sake. However, on the very day she chooses to destroy the traps, she discovers in one of them a creature so inhuman it can only be one thing. In that moment, she's faced with a painful realization: her dad was telling the truth. And no one believed him. Now, she and Doug have a choice to make. They can turn the alien over to the authorities...or they can take matters into their own hands. On the heels of the worldwide success of The Shape of Water, Daniel Kraus returns with a horrifying and heartbreaking thriller about the lengths people go to find justice and the painful reality of grief. "Bent Heavens is the darkest, angriest alien horror story that I've ever encountered. Hell. Yes."--Stephanie Perkins, New York Times-bestselling author of There's Someone Inside Your House

A would-be queen. A handsome young king. A perfect match...or is it? From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Selection series comes The Betrothed, a glittering royal romance sure to captivate her legion of loyal readers and lovers of courtly intrigue alike. When King Jameson declares his love for Lady Hollis Brite, Hollis is shocked--and thrilled. After all, she's grown up at Keresken Castle, vying for the king's attention alongside other daughters of the nobility. Capturing his heart is a dream come true. But Hollis soon realizes that falling in love with a king and being crowned queen may not be the happily ever after she thought it would be. And when she meets a commoner with the mysterious power to see right into her heart, she finds that the future she really wants is one that she never thought to imagine.
The Book of Dust: la Belle Sauvage (Book of Dust, Volume 1) by Philip Pullman
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Philip Pullman returns to the parallel world of His Dark Materials--now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, and Lin-Manuel Miranda--to expand on the story of Lyra, "one of fantasy's most indelible heroines" (The New York Times Magazine). Don't miss Volume II of The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth! Malcolm Polstead and his daemon, Asta, are used to overhearing news and the occasional scandal at the inn run by his family. But during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm finds a mysterious object--and finds himself in grave danger. Inside the object is a cryptic message about something called Dust; and it's not long before Malcolm is approached by the spy for whom this message was actually intended. When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, he begins to notice suspicious characters everywhere: the explorer Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; a gyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a daemon. All are asking about the same thing: a girl--just a baby--named Lyra. Lyra is at the center of a storm, and Malcolm will brave any peril, and make shocking sacrifices, to bring her safely through it. "Too few things in our world are worth a seventeen-year wait: The Book of Dust is one of them." --The Washington Post "The book is full of wonder. . . . Truly thrilling." --The New York Times "People will love the first volume of Philip Pullman's new trilogy with the same helpless vehemence that stole over them when The Golden Compass came out." --Slate
The Book of Dust: the Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman
The #1 New York Times Bestseller! Return to the world of His Dark Materials--now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, and Lin-Manuel Miranda--in the second volume of Philip Pullman's new bestselling masterwork The Book of Dust. The windows between the many worlds have been sealed and the momentous adventures of Lyra Silvertongue's youth are long behind her--or so she thought. Lyra is now a twenty-year-old undergraduate at St. Sophia's College and intrigue is swirling around her once more. Her daemon Pantalaimon is witness to a brutal murder, and the dying man entrusts them with secrets that carry echoes from their past. The more Lyra is drawn into these mysteries, the less she is sure of. Even the events of her own past come into question when she learns of Malcolm Polstead's role in bringing her to Jordan College. Now Lyra and Malcolm will travel far beyond the confines of Oxford, across Europe and into the Levant, searching for a city haunted by daemons, and a desert said to hold the truth of Dust. The dangers they face will challenge everything they thought they knew about the world, and about themselves. Praise for The Book of Dust "It's a stunning achievement, this universe Pullman has created and continues to build on." --The New York Times "Pullman's writing is simple, unpretentious, beautiful, true. The conclusion to The Book of Dust can't come soon enough."--The Washington Post
Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore
With Anna-Marie McLemore's signature lush prose, Dark and Deepest Red pairs the forbidding magic of a fairy tale with a modern story of passion and betrayal. Summer, 1518. A strange sickness sweeps through Strasbourg: women dance in the streets, some until they fall down dead. As rumors of witchcraft spread, suspicion turns toward Lavinia and her family, and Lavinia may have to do the unimaginable to save herself and everyone she loves. Five centuries later, a pair of red shoes seal to Rosella Oliva's feet, making her dance uncontrollably. They draw her toward a boy who knows the dancing fever's history better than anyone: Emil, whose family was blamed for the fever five hundred years ago. But there's more to what happened in 1518 than even Emil knows, and discovering the truth may decide whether Rosella survives the red shoes.
Enchanted Air by Margarita Engle; Edel Rodriguez (Illustrator)
In this poetic memoir, which won the Pura Belpré Author Award, was a YALSA Nonfiction Finalist, and was named a Walter Dean Myers Award Honoree, acclaimed author Margarita Engle tells of growing up as a child of two cultures during the Cold War. Margarita is a girl from two worlds. Her heart lies in Cuba, her mother's tropical island country, a place so lush with vibrant life that it seems like a fairy tale kingdom. But most of the time she lives in Los Angeles, lonely in the noisy city and dreaming of the summers when she can take a plane through the enchanted air to her beloved island. Words and images are her constant companions, friendly and comforting when the children at school are not. Then a revolution breaks out in Cuba. Margarita fears for her far-away family. When the hostility between Cuba and the United States erupts at the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Margarita's worlds collide in the worst way possible. How can the two countries she loves hate each other so much? And will she ever get to visit her beautiful island again?
Girls with Razor Hearts by Suzanne Young
It's time to fight back in this second novel in a thrilling, subversive near future series from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young about a girls-only private high school that is far more than it appears to be. Make me a girl with a razor heart... It's been weeks since Mena and the other girls of Innovations Academy escaped their elite boarding school. Although traumatized by the violence and experimentations that occurred there, Mena quickly discovers that the outside world can be just as unwelcoming and cruel. With no one else to turn to, the girls only have each other--and the revenge-fueled desire to shut down the corporation that imprisoned them. The girls enroll in Ridgeview Prep, a private school with suspect connections to Innovations, to identify the son of an investor and take down the corporation from the inside. But with pressure from Leandra, who revealed herself to be a double-agent, and Winston Weeks, an academy investor gone rogue, Mena wonders if she and her friends are simply trading one form of control for another. Not to mention the woman who is quite literally invading Mena's thoughts--a woman with extreme ideas that both frighten and intrigue Mena. And as the girls fight for freedom from their past--and freedom for the girls still at Innovations--they must also face new questions about their existence...and what it means to be girls with razor hearts.
Girls with Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young
"Enough plot twists to give a reader whiplash." --Cosmopolitan From New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young comes the start of a thrilling, subversive new series about a girls-only boarding school with a terrifying secret and the friends who will stop at nothing to protect each other. Some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns. The Girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved--it says so on their report cards. Under the watchful gaze of their Guardian, they receive a well-rounded education that promises to make them better. Obedient girls, free from arrogance or defiance. Free from troublesome opinions or individual interests. But the girls' carefully controlled existence may not be quite as it appears. As Mena and her friends uncover the dark secrets of what's actually happening there--and who they really are--the girls of Innovations Academy will learn to fight back. Bringing the trademark plot twists and high-octane drama that made The Program a bestselling and award-winning series, Suzanne Young launches a new series that confronts some of today's most pressing ethical questions.

In this riveting story about baseball and brotherhood, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks finds himself pitching his way out of poverty--one strike at a time. By "a premier author of provocative YA sports novels" (The Bulletin). Lazarus "Laz" Weathers has always been shy, and his issue with stuttering when he speaks hasn't helped. Stuck in a Seattle trailer park, Laz finds baseball helps him escape from the world of poverty and drugs. When he gets an opportunity to pitch for the rich kids across town, he has a chance to get drafted by the major leagues. But playing for the other team means leaving behind his family, including Antonio, Laz's younger brother, who more and more, seems to be drawn to the dark world of the Jet City's drug ring. Now Laz will have to choose between being the star pitcher he always dreamed of becoming and the team player his family needs.
Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know by Samira Ahmed
Told in alternating narratives that bridge centuries, the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Samira Ahmed traces the lives of two young women fighting to write their own stories and escape the pressure of cultural expectations in worlds too long defined by men. It's August in Paris and 17-year-old Khayyam Maquet--American, French, Indian, Muslim--is at a crossroads. This holiday with her parents should be a dream trip for the budding art historian. But her maybe-ex-boyfriend is probably ghosting her, she might have just blown her chance at getting into her dream college, and now all she really wants is to be back home in Chicago figuring out her messy life instead of brooding in the City of Light. Two hundred years before Khayyam's summer of discontent, Leila is struggling to survive and keep her true love hidden from the Pasha who has "gifted" her with favored status in his harem. In the present day--and with the company of a descendant of Alexandre Dumas--Khayyam begins to connect allusions to an enigmatic 19th-century Muslim woman whose path may have intersected with Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, and Lord Byron. Echoing across centuries, Leila and Khayyam's lives intertwine, and as one woman's long-forgotten life is uncovered, another's is transformed.
This Boy by Lauren Myracle
Lauren Myracle brings her signature frank, funny, and insightful writing to this novel of a teenage boy's coming-of-age. Paul Walden is not an alpha lobster, the hypermasculine crustacean king who intimidates the other male lobsters, beds all the lady lobsters, and "wins" at life. At least not according to the ego-bursting feedback he's given in his freshman seminar. But Paul finds a funny, faithful friend in Roby Smalls, and maybe - oh god, please - he's beginning to catch the interest of smart, beautiful Natalia Gutierrez. Cruising through high school as a sauced-out, rap-loving beta lobster suits Paul fine, and if life ever gets him down? Smoke a little weed, crunch a few pills . . . it's all good. But in the treacherous currents of teenage culture, it's easy to get pulled under. With perfect frankness, Lauren Myracle lays bare the life of one boy as he navigates friendship, love, loss, and addiction. It's life at its most ordinary and most unforgettable.

With a Star in My Hand by Margarita Engle
From acclaimed author Margarita Engle comes a gorgeous new novel in verse about Rubén Darío, the Nicaraguan poet and folk hero who initiated the literary movement of Modernismo. As a little boy, Rubén Darío loved to listen to his great uncle, a man who told tall tales in a booming, larger-than-life voice. Rubén quickly learned the magic of storytelling, and discovered the rapture and beauty of verse. A restless and romantic soul, Rubén traveled across Central and South America seeking adventure and connection. As he discovered new places and new loves, he wrote poems to express his wild storm of feelings. But the traditional forms felt too restrictive. He began to improvise his own poetic forms so he could capture the entire world in his words. At the age of twenty-one, he published his first book Azul, which heralded a vibrant new literary movement called Modernismo that blended poetry and prose into something magical. In gorgeous poems of her own, Margarita Engle tells the story of this passionate young man who revolutionized world literature.

Rinths is a very ancient game. And long time ago people noticed that it is not the simple force which helps to go through the labyrinth but intellect. It was proved the best in the myth about Theseus and Minotaur. You will not meet monsters in our labyrinth. But your intellect remains your main weapon. Prove that you are the cleverest. Prove that you are Theseus of our time!
Bogee Interactive company presents Mazeness 2 – a worthy continuation of the splendid puzzle game having double labyrinth. The game objective remains very easy one – you need to take all the balls to the aim at the same time. The game offers new elements – holds, teleports and destructed blocks, which make it even more fascinating.
The difficulty of 44 game levels grows so gradually that it allows to plunge into the process even for those who regard logic not their strongest place.


Demonstrates experience in application development and support in IBM Mainframe zOS environment. Skills include core zOS skills (VSAM, JCL, REXX, TSO/ISPF, Mainframe tools), a language skill (COBOL, PL/1, Assembler), a database skill (DB2, IMS-DB). Can also include a transaction processing skill (CICS, IMS-DC etc.).


The origin of the Universe remains a mystery, inspiring creation stories and scientific theories. Soon astrophysicists will have a new tool in their search for answers: the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), featuring the world's largest and most powerful digital camera.
The camera will take pictures of the sky every 20 seconds, completing a survey of the visible sky every three nights. Over ten years, it will capture an almost unimaginable trove of data that will alert scientists to changes in the sky over time. "It's these changes that allow us to build our models for our universe, to predict its future and to explain its past," says Andrew Connolly, professor of astronomy.
As a founding member of the LSST project, Department of Astronomy faculty and staff are involved in all aspects of the telescope, scheduled for completion in 2019. The captured data will be open source, accessible to anyone in the U.S. or Chile, but devising the software and algorithms to analyze all that data is a major aspect of the project. Researchers at the UW's Center for Data-intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology, established through a gift from Charles Simonyi, will develop the tools needed to work with the mountains of data. The Center is seeking matching gifts to expand its capabilities.
By donating to the Center for Data-Intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology, you can support the development of vital tools and processes that will enable scientists around the world to predict killer asteroids, gain insight into the universe's origins, and understand the nature of dark matter.

Q: Creating Standard Deviation Index (SDI) cell by cell in DEM I am fairly new to QGIS and have been struggling to find a solution. To put it simply I am trying to find a way to display the Standard Deviation Index on individual cell basis by comparing it to its surrounding 8 cells. The purpose is to help narrow down possible habitat of a bird species. How can I achieve it?

A: This answer may be useful for you:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/115397/81215
But it is also possible to convert the DEM to points,
and then use a formula in the [Field Calculator] tool (without using [R])
(round("ELEV") - mean(  round("ELEV") )) /  stdev(round("ELEV") )

this will give an overall relative standard deviation value.
to get specific stats on different cell sizes there are several algorithms to try in raster analysis

Have you ever heard someone say, "Food is too expensive to eat healthy!" I hear this excuse all the time. However, I believe that's myth.
I took a trip to my local grocery store to test my theory.
This is what I learned. Here's how to eat healthy on a budget.
You may also want to consider including periods of fasting and detoxing as part of your lifestyle.
Are you feeling guilty after the holiday weekend? Eating healthy is a lifestyle. One day or one meal is only a snapshot of that lifestyle.
Just know that if you got off track and ate something that was not apart of your nutritional plan, feeling guilty about it is not going to take it back. The most important thing now is to focus on getting back on track.
Stay present. Embrace the new day and start over.
Drink plenty of water and include lemon juice.
Incorporate more fruits and veggies in your daily diet.
Cut back on meat especially beef and pork.
Exercise at least 30 mins per day.
Living well is really all about balance and moderation. Give yourself permission to create a life you love without guilt and shame.
Whether you overindulged the night before or just need an extra push in the right direction, this one day detox plan will help you to recover, renew and rejuvenate .
This sample one day detox plan is a plan that works for me. Each person is different. So tailor the plan to work for you.
Crohn's and Colitis Diet Guide: Includes 175 Recipes Crohn's can also bring about biochemical disturbances in the liver. Many patients hat exhibit this symptom have a family history of allergies that includes hives and asthma. Additional symptoms can include enlargement of the ends of the fingers (called clubbing), thrush in the mouth, lesions in the eyes and arthritis that effects the large joints.
Many Crohn's patients were found to be eating a similar diet - lots of refined sugars, less dietary fiber, less raw fruits and vegetables. The trouble is that sugary foods tend to contain chemical additives that influence intestinal bacteria, causing them to produce toxic substances that end up, over time, destroying the intestinal lining. This is the reason sugary foods should be avoided (or limited) by Crohn's patients.
This day I thankfully accept all of the good things that are coming my way. This day is full of excitement, love, energy, health and prosperity. This day people are calling on me to be of service to them, and I respond by giving my very best. This day I think and practice health in my life refusing to accept anything less than perfect health. This day I accept the abundance and prosperity that is mine and willingly share it with others. This day I focus on the moment and give no thought to the past or to the future. This day I spend in total enjoyment of what I do. This day I fill with loving thoughts and actions toward all other people and myself. This day I spend in grateful appreciation of all that is mine. This day, this hour, this minute, this moment is all that I have and I choose to use it in celebration.
When designing their weight loss exercise programs, people want to know the best exercise for weight loss. Surprisingly, the exercise that burns the most calories is not always the best exercise for weight loss. Sure, it's important to burn calories, and we'll tell you which exercises burn the most calories in just a moment. But it's also important to burn fat.
The best weight loss exercises are slow, aerobic, long duration exercises. They also involve most of the major muscle groups. These are the exercises that will burn fat. They include exercises like walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming, and elliptical trainer workouts. These exercises burn more fat than exercises that involve short spurts of activity followed by periods of rest, such as volleyball, tennis, racquetball, basketball, Frisbee, and golf. Those exercises will burn calories and can be included in weight loss exercise programs. They just don't burn fat like the other exercises we listed do.
The key to burning fat is to exercise for a longer period of time. For the first 20 30 minutes of a work out, your body burns carbohydrates. Now, those are calories, so that will help you lose weight. But after 20 30 minutes, your body starts to burn fat. That will help you lose pounds and inches quickly.
In addition to the slow, aerobic, long duration types of exercise, strength training or weight lifting should be added to weight loss exercise programs. This will build muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat. Muscle will burn more calories all the time, even when you are sleeping, not just while you are exercising.
Losing weight is simple math: eat fewer calories than you burn. To keep close track of those calories, you'll need a journal. During your diet, be sure to "show your work" by recording everything you eat.
Spend a day eating as usual and count the calories that you eat in a normal day. This will be your baseline and you'll start subtracting from there.
Know the calories of everything you eat from now on. Don't be afraid to look it up. There are few foods left on earth that the internet hasn't encountered.
Guesstimations have no place in math. Stock up on teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and quarts to measure portions and calories exactly.
Check your math each evening. Don't forget to pencil in the odd extra cookie. Consider subtracting it from tomorrow's total to stay on track.
We all know that eating fruit as part of a balanced diet is good for us. But exactly how good is it? These days it's not just about superfoods anymore, but superfruits are making it big. Increasingly, health experts and researchers alike are contributing eating fruits to the prevention of diseases and giving us more delicious reasons to visit our local farmers markets .
But not all fruits are created equal and the kinds you eat will make a difference in nutritional value. What benefits can you get from eating an apple versus a banana? And which fruits are healthiest? Read on to learn more!
Eating a single orange gives you 100% of your daily Vitamin C. Not only are oranges juicy and delicious, they may even help lower your cholesterol. The citrus smell of an orange creates a calming effect to counter stress in your day. So keep one with you as you go through your day.
Not only are bananas a healthy carb which keeps you feeling full, they're also an excellent source of potassium while being low in sodium. This means eating bananas reduces your risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Want more benefits? Bananas contain protease inhibitors that can help prevent stomach ulcers. Not to mention they go great in a peanut butter sandwich.
Yes, avocados are a fruit and a superfruit at that! Not only are avocados creamy and delicious, but they also contain healthy fats, which absorb carotenoids making them essential for a healthy heart. What's more, eating avocados will help you lower bad cholesterol while increasing healthy cholesterol, and who wouldn't want that? Oh, and did we mention they have twice the potassium as bananas?
Blueberries are your go-to superfruit for brain function. Not only are they rich in antioxidants like a lot of the fruits mentioned earlier, but studies have also linked blueberries to improving memory and delaying cognitive aging. Another added benefit- they're chock full magnesium which helps keep you slim and energized. Now that is what we call a mega superfruit!

Angry Birds Magic uses NFC to unlock levels
Published by Rafe Blandford at 22:38 UTC, April 19th 2011
At the WIMA conference, currently under way in Monaco, Nokia and Rovio unveiled a preview of Angry Birds Magic, a version of the hit game that will be used to help promote NFC (Near Field Communication). The game, which continues the avian-porcine conflict, has levels that can only be unlocked by touching another NFC phone or NFC tag. The game will be pre-installed on Nokia C7's as part of the Symbian Anna update.
NFC is a set of short range (generally less than 4cm) wireless technologies that allow for communication between two objects. An important aspect of NFC is that it allows for unpowered targets (tags, stickers, key chains) that gain power from the RF field generated by an initiating device (similar to the technology behind RFID); in these instances, information transfer is one way (e.g. phone reading a web address from a tag). NFC also allows for two powered devices (e.g. two phones), which can communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion (e.g. two phones transferring a business card or a phone and a Bluetooth headset setting up a pairing agreement).
One of the most commonly cited use cases for NFC is to act as an enabler for mobile payments and ticketing (e.g. similar scenarios to the London Underground's Oyster system or Visa's payWave cards). However, due to legal issues and stakeholder disagreements (operators, mobile manufacturers, banks, credit cards providers all have a vested interest and everyone wants a cut) the wide scale implementation of commerce-related use cases may be some way in the future. As a result, the most likely early use cases will revolve around pairing Bluetooth headsets (touch to pair) and retrieving information or triggering an action from a tag (similar to QR codes) or a phone. It is these latter two use cases that Angry Birds will take advantage of.
Echoing the early years of Bluetooth, the uptake of NFC is currently limited by the network effect (not enough NFC enabled objects to make it valuable or useful). This is what makes a NFC version of Angry Birds a valuable promotional tool. It should help both educate users about the technology and provide them with a motivation to use it.
Angry Birds Magic comes with five levels already unlocked, a further three sets (each with five additional levels) can be unlocked. Each set will require a unique NFC interaction. The most obvious interaction will be with another NFC device. However Rovio will also be planting a number of NFC tags, which can be embedded inside any object (e.g. on a post, in a shop window) around the world, which will also allow the additional levels to be unlocked.
The 20 level version of the game will be pre-loaded on the Nokia C7 as part of the Symbian Anna update (new C7's are expected to start shipping with Symbian Anna in the coming months). It will also ship with all of Nokia's 2011 NFC-equipped smartphone handsets (currently the Nokia C7 is the only Nokia smartphone known to have an NFC chip - the recently announced E6 and X7 do not have them). Rovio are also working on a full version of Angry Birds Magic, which will be made available via the Ovi Store and will have additional NFC-related features.
Mikael Hed, Rovio's CEO, said:
"With Angry Birds Magic, friends can group together to combat the pig menace, in a new take on the game that so many people all over the world have fallen love with. This is an exclusive offering with the Nokia C7, a smartphone that really kicks off the NFC experience for developers. In time, the communal power of users with Angry Birds Magic could prove even stronger than the Mighty Eagle."
Bryan Biniak, Nokia's head of Ovi Publish, said:
"Angry Birds Magic is a great demonstration of NFC technology and we're delighted to have it exclusive to Nokia. It represents an exciting opportunity for developers to create new, innovative apps and games."

About Pippa Holt
Kaftan No.56
Single panel mini kaftan in lilac with multi coloured 'people' design
Pippa Holt kaftans are handmade by artisan weavers on a traditional backstrap loom. Each piece takes up to one month to complete. The Mexican 'people' design is a recurring theme in this lilac style and symbolising family, love, unity as well as being inspired by the local flora and fauna. No.56 is the mini version of the much loved kaftan No.10.
Pippa Holt's editorial background as a stylist at British Vogue, a degree in fashion design combined with her love of travel is very much evident in her collection. Growing up on the beaches of Australia, she was inspired by her grandmother's style of tropical dressing at her seaside holiday home on The Great Barrier Reef Stylist Pippa Holt launched her eponymous line of kaftans which celebrates her love of indigenous textiles, far-flung travel and beautiful, original attire after finding nothing to wear in the searing heat while living in Houston.
Pippa says: "I love the authenticity of these kaftans and how comfortable they are to wear. I call them my 'Holiday Heroes'. They pack small, work day and night on a beach, in a city, with or without a belt. They are incredibly versatile. These kaftans are light, practical and yet stylish and reminiscent of far flung shores. In many ways I was collaborating on a collection which recreated that sense of freedom of dressing that I had so adored in Australia. The colours were original and unique and filled me with so much joy."
Each kaftan takes one month to make and four to five days to sew its panels. Due to the way they are hand-crafted, no two are the same. Pippa has collaborated with Felipa, a head weaver in a remote village in Mexico who has over 50 years of experience. Along with her daughter, Angelica and a group of artisans, they create one off pieces following age-old traditions.
+ Size & Fit Information
Purple cotton
Dry clean or delicate machine wash
Comfortably fits those who are between a size XS-XL
This item measures approximately 60 cm wide x 90 cm long
* Each kaftan is woven by hand on a backstrap loom and is a unique one a kind garment. Therefore measurements will vary slightly.

Life Wellbeing Diet for one? Scientists stalk the dream of personalised nutrition

Diet for one? Scientists stalk the dream of personalised nutrition
Does nutrition personalised to our DNA actually increase health and decrease weight? Photo: Getty
Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley
A decade ago, spurred by the success of the Human Genome Project and the affordability of genetic sequencing, scientists began to explore the promise of "nutrigenomics".
Could personalised nutrition, informed by knowledge of an individual's DNA, help prevent and even treat diet-related diseases?
The results of early studies from Harvard, Stanford and elsewhere were compelling: Genetic differences seemed to predispose individuals to lose different amounts of weight on different types of diets. A multimillion-dollar industry soon sprang up, premised on marketing DNA-based diets.
But subsequent research has failed to show any statistically significant difference in weight loss between overweight people who "eat right for their genotype" and those who do not.
In fact, the effect of genes on obesity has been hard to tease out; various studies put the figure at anywhere from 35 per cent to 85 per cent.
Nutritionists have long observed that no one weight-loss strategy works for everyone, and that individuals show striking differences in their responses to different diets. What, then, explains the large variation in individual metabolism?
Last year, Tim Spector and Sarah Berry, epidemiologists at King's College, London, and Dr Andrew Chan of Harvard Medical School began an ambitious new search for the answer. Their new study, called Predict, is the world's largest and most comprehensive experiment to look at individual responses to food.
Their preliminary results, presented on Monday at the American Society for Nutrition's annual conference, documented, for the first time, substantial and surprising variations in how well participants processed fats and carbohydrates, even among identical twins.
How efficiently a person metabolised one macronutrient was no predictor of how that person might respond to another.
"We are getting closer to being able to provide guidance for each person for what their ideal diet should be," said Dr Eric Topol, a geneticist at the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California, who was not affiliated with the study.
"We're not there yet, but the new study is another major milestone to get us there."
For decades Professor Spector has been exploring the causes of individual variation in disease risk, including diet-related ailments.
In 1992, he set up TwinsUK, a research registry that now includes more than 13,000 identical and fraternal twins. Based on the twins, he concluded that genes contributed 70 per cent of an individual's risk for obesity, on average.
Intrigued, he began a series of studies to tease out which factors influenced the remaining 30 per cent. In 2014, he began the British Gut Project, a crowdsourced effort to understand the diversity of gut microbes, their response to different dietary interventions and their effect on weight.
Among his registry of twins, he noticed, even identical pairs shared only about 50 per cent of their gut bacteria.
Professor Spector then started Predict to explore how variations in individual responses to fats and carbohydrates might contribute to obesity.
Eating foods that contain fats and carbohydrates causes glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels in the blood to rise and fall; spikes that are too high, too prolonged and too frequent are associated with inflammation, weight gain, heart disease and diabetes.
The study included 700 identical twins, 300 individual British volunteers and 100 subjects from the US, and gathered data on almost everything that can affect metabolism: Gut microbiota, sleep duration, exercise, body fat composition and more.
These initial results, however, analysed only the rise and fall of glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels in the blood after participants had eaten standardised meals.
The team concluded that genes play a limited role in how a person processes fats and carbohydrates. Among identical twins, only about half of the amount and duration of an individual's post-meal blood glucose level could be attributed to genetic influence – and less than 30 per cent with regard to insulin and triglyceride response.
Predict tracked and analysed nutrition between identical twins. Photo: Getty
The more important factors in how our bodies metabolise food, it seems, are environmental: Sleep, stress, exercise and the diversity and population of our individual gut microbiome.
"That is really exciting for scientists and individuals," Dr Berry said. "It has shown us how much is not genetic and therefore modifiable."
She noted that the proportion of fats and carbohydrates in a meal explained less than 40 per cent of an individual's response to that food.
That finding "reinforces the message that we should focus on whole lifestyle approaches rather than individual foods and nutrients," she said.
A more detailed view of our metabolic differences has come only recently, with the advent of affordable machine learning, wearable sensors and genetic sequencing.
The result has been a surge of interest in the field.
In February, another large-scale, multi-year personalised nutrition study was started at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Lausanne.
"This research is fascinating and it's important," said Tim Caulfield, who researches health law and policy at the University of Alberta in Canada. Nonetheless, "if history tells us anything, it tells us that it's unlikely that this is going to revolutionise nutrition."
For one thing, he said, the basic parameters of a healthy diet are already well known: Plenty of whole grains, pulses, dark leafy greens and other vegetables, enough healthy oils and seafood, and very little red meat or refined carbohydrates. The problem is not that the guidelines are wrong or insufficiently personalised, Professor Caulfield said, but that people are not following them.

Even the focus on a person's food choices or individual metabolism can distract from other significant contributors to the obesity epidemic, he said: "It is a fantastically complex issue that has to do with our built environment, with socioeconomics, with our food environment, with marketing, and with our activity levels – so many things."
As a study, Predict is still in its early days; whatever individualised recommendations it might provide, there is no evidence yet that they can improve a person's health any better than standard dietary guidelines can. Nonetheless, its scope and rigour are novel.
"It will require further validation, and doesn't equate with preventing heart disease or cancer or other outcomes," Dr Topol said. "But it's still important if we're ever going to get to the 'food as medicine' ideal."
But for now, Professor Caulfield has some very low-tech advice for anyone in search of personalised nutrition: Look at the bathroom scale.
"That number is way more predictive of future health than most of the information you can get from these direct-to-consumer companies," he said.

Australian trial gives new hope for Parkinson's disease treatment


Despite hot, dry summer, the citizens of Lafayette enjoyed another summer of water use without required rationing or threats of $100 fines for watering lawns on a restricted day.
After years of water issues, fear of dropping reservoir levels, and political fights over building a new multi-million dollar reservoir, all seems peaceful in Lafayette.
Mayor Chris Heisler recently stated that he gives a lot of credit this summer to Lafayette's Public Works Department for doing a great job, especially during the driest periods where water use was at it's highest.
"The joint efforts of Public Works, led by Jim Anderson, City Hall, led by Preston Polasek, and The Water Resources Committee, led by Chris Harper, executed a great plan. We had a hot, dry summer with no water drama. Anderson did a great job in working with Dayton Public Works managing our water supply," Heisler said.
Water shared between the Cities of Dayton and Lafayette was distributed more evenly this year, with Dayton taking a more active role in correcting their part in water supplies issues.
Public statements made by Lafayette elected officials made it clear that Lafayette would no longer continue to force water rationing on it's citizens while the City of Dayton took more than their share of the jointly owned system. Lafayette city leaders were clear in their comments that they wanted Dayton to be proactive in correcting their water issues, to ensure that the water produced by the wells shared by both cities would be more evenly distributed.
Water Committee Chair, Chris Harper, especially, made it clear over the winter months that Lafayette would be taking "their fair share" this summer.
The City of Dayton ran a water conservation campaign this summer which included a large banner that hung across the City's downtown encouraging citizens to conserve.
The City of Dayton notified their residents that they were undertaking two important water projects in the Summer of 2013. Dayton announced that they were working on rehabilitating their springs in order to be able to bring one of their "valuable water sources" back on line after a long period of not being functional. Dayton also announced on their website that they would be making renovations to the 600,000 gallon water tank located in their watershed area.
Improvements made or not made by the City of Dayton directly impact the City of Lafayette since the cities jointly own a water system together. Their efforts are important to the citizens of Lafayette.
Another improvement that came into play this summer in Lafayette is the huge underground water storage system that the City completed in recent years. As an additional back-up source to Lafayette's supply, the underground reservoir system stores water during heavy rain falls to be used as needed during drier times.
Any resident that has lived in the community of Lafayette for more than a few years is sure to appreciate encouragement to be good stewards of the city's water supply, versus the drama, written citations and restrictions of years past.
Hopefully, the City will continue to be successful in the difficult task of managing water resources in one of the oldest cities in the State of Oregon.
"Great job" Lafayette city leaders, including Jim Anderson and the Public Works Department.


CHAMPLAIN, N.Y. - There's no wall or checkpoint or regular guard at the end of Roxham Road, just a footpath to the border. In recent years, this trail has been the busiest unauthorized crossing into Canada, a well-known back door for tens of thousands of people seeking asylum in a country that projects itself as a haven for refugees.
Canada has largely tolerated their arrival. But with an increasingly close election on the horizon, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - a global figure of welcome for refugees - is signaling plans to crack down. And they're asking the United States to help.
The irony is not lost on those who track immigration: The Trudeau government wants the United States to help tighten enforcement on Canada's southern border, just as the Trump administration is pressing Mexico to tighten enforcement on the U.S. Southern border.
It's not clear the United States will agree. The Trump administration has sharply reduced U.S. refugee admissions and has tried to keep asylum seekers from entering from Mexico.
"I suspect that President [Donald] Trump will be inclined to make Trudeau sweat over this," said Christopher Sands, director of the Center for Canadian Studies at the Johns Hopkins University in Washington.
Canada has made a formal request to the United States to amend a 15-year-old border treaty between the countries. A spokeswoman for the State Department declined to provide details, saying the department does not "discuss internal and interagency deliberations."
Under the terms of the deal, which took effect in 2004, asylum seekers who try to enter Canada at an official border crossing are sent back to the United States. But there's a loophole: Those who cross the border at an unauthorized point of entry can proceed into Canada and file their claim.
A spokeswoman for Bill Blair, Canada's minister of border security and organized crime reduction, said he hopes a renegotiated treaty will "encourage people to cross at regular points of entry to maintain the security and the integrity of our borders."
"It would not be appropriate to negotiate the terms of a bilateral treaty through the media," she said.
Separately, the treaty is being challenged in Canadian federal court. Three immigrant rights groups argue the United States should not be considered a "safe" country for refugees.
The United States and Canada share the world's longest undefended border. Most of its 5,500 miles run through rural farmland or forest.
Advocates for asylum seekers say changing the policy won't stop them from walking across the long, mostly empty, frontier. It will simply encourage them to find more remote, more dangerous places to enter - possibly with the help of criminal networks.
"The main beneficiaries would be the smugglers," said Janet Dench, executive director of the Canadian Council for Refugees, one of the groups challenging the agreement.
"We put our hope in the United States refusing to come to the table," she said.
"Irregular" entries, as Canada calls them, have also increased. About 40,000 people have entered at Roxham Road and other unauthorized crossings in the last two years.
If stopped by a police officer, they need only say that they intend to claim asylum, and they are allowed to pass. Asylum seekers who enter at an unauthorized crossing aren't penalized for it.
But there has been a backlash. Critics have taken to calling irregular crossers "illegal" - echoing language used by immigration critics in the United States and Europe.
Opposition leader Andrew Scheer blames Trudeau for the increase in such crossings. The Conservative Party leader says those who enter at Roxham Road and similar crossings are hurting "legitimate refugees and immigrants."
"Immigration has become a highly politicized issue where it wasn't really a partisan issue at all," said Alboim, who teaches at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
Advocates for immigrants have opposed renegotiating the treaty - especially now, while the Trump administration is tightening refugee rules, and the legal challenge remains undecided.
"The reality is that there are some people who meet the refugee definition . . . in Canada, who would not meet the refugee definition as it's understood in the United States," he said.
Neighbors in this borderland say closing the trail won't keep asylum seekers out. Instead, some warned, it will send them to more dangerous crossings.
"They knew there was railroad tracks up there that goes into Canada," he said. "They'd get off at one of the little bars there or restaurant or whatever, and wait until dark.
"It's crazy, you know. Some of them are scared right to death."
"It seemed like the Canadians realized that they had to organize something to make there be a safe process," Janet McFetridge said. The American woman drives to Roxham Road most days to help out.
If the unauthorized crossing is closed again, locals say, there are plenty of other places migrants could try - but they'd likely be more dangerous.
Martin Bechard lives on a small road outside Champlain that's similar to Roxham Road: It nearly reaches the border, but there's no official checkpoint.
Still, it's under heavy surveillance. To cross undetected, he said, people would have to venture off paths - in winter, through deep snow.
"You'd have broken legs in there," he said. "It's very rough terrain."
"I chose Canada," she said in Spanish.
"We cannot go back to Colombia," she said.

Cannabis Tourism Incidents Spark Worries About Edibles
Published by Ed Weinberg at July 1, 2019
States with legal cannabis have grappled with the issue of cannabis edibles. Image Credit: By cleanfotos on shutterstock.
Last month, a 911 call was made after a 60-year-old woman fainted in a Martha's Vineyard restaurant. When officers responded, they found two more people passed out on the floor of the restaurant.
It soon became clear that all three were visiting from outside of Massachusetts, and that it was the first time any of them had tried cannabis edibles.
Regarding this unfortunate consequence of cannabis tourism in the newly-legal state, Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee told the MV Times, "We all knew this was coming."
"The candy bars have six to eight servings," he added, "but no one takes one bite of a candy bar and puts it away."
Other states have also grappled with the issue of cannabis edibles, often at the behest of shocking incidents. In some reports, children have taken edibles from their parents and given or sold them to their peers. In other cases, violence and hospitalization has resulted from their ingestion.
Colorado has been the poster child for edibles-oriented scrutiny, with three high-profile deaths which have been linked to the ingestion of cannabis edibles — although some dispute the neutrality of reporting around these accounts. Still, they were enough to motivate a recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, which delivered some alarming statistics.
Though the amount of THC sold in edible form is dwarfed by the amount sold in smokable form — accounting for ⅓ of 1 percent of the state's total cannabis sales by weight of THC between 2014 and 2016 — edibles were at fault in nearly 10 percent of the cannabis-related emergency room visits during the three-year period.
This point becomes even more startling when one considers the fact that edible products are capped at a maximum of 100 mg of THC content per unit by Colorado law, while an ounce of cannabis can contain 8,000 mg of THC.
Regardless, critics say that edibles pose a unique risk, especially when accounting for their true pervasiveness — making up from 10 to 13 percent of legal cannabis sales, and growing by the year.
Why Are Some People Skeptical About Cannabis Edibles?
As part of efforts to cut down on adverse incidents around cannabis edibles and their appeal to children, Colorado law stipulates that edibles must be split into 10 mg portions and cannot come in the form of humans, animals, fruit, or cartoons. In California, you can no longer call edibles "candy." Washington state limited the shapes and colors that edibles can come in and briefly considered a complete ban on cannabis gummies.
This hasn't stemmed the worries of lawmakers and concerned citizens. A sticking point for many is their ease of adoption — while smokable cannabis may be intimidating to new users and children, edibles are familiar terrain. And although it is often illegal to ingest them in public, edibles are inconspicuous enough to do so without consequence.
And then there is the slow start and sudden onset likely experienced by the Martha's Vineyard vacationers. Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addressed this issue in an editorial accompanying the Annals of Internal Medicine study.
"When you're smoking marijuana, you start seeing the effects in a couple of minutes," she said. "But when you take it orally, it takes a long time to feel the effects, and if you're taking it in order to feel good and you feel nothing, you may think you didn't take enough. This is a common phenomenon. People take another dose."
Al Bronstein, the Colorado-based medical director of the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center, put the crisis into perspective when interviewed by ABC News. "It's kind of akin to the education about alcohol — to drink responsibly," he said. "People need to eat these edibles responsibly, and they have limited experience with these products. That's the real problem. This is a drug. People need to be respectful of that."

Discretion, honesty and fearlessness
Canterbury member John Gaffaney receives a well-earned PPTA service award
A Canterbury branch chair who has fought strenuously for members for decades has been recognised through a PPTA service award.
John Gaffaney joined PPTA in his first year of teaching, at Aranui High School in 1966 and remained a member until leaving for Canada in 1969.
On returning from overseas he rejoined for a five term stint at Lincoln High School before joining staff at St Thomas of Canterbury College in 1975.
Strenuously fighting for members' interests
Despite not being eligible to be a member at the time, he was a leader in the staff response to the issues surrounding the Springbok Tour, where many PPTA members protested marched.
He rejoined in November 1981 through integration and has been a member continuously since.
More than 20 of his 36 years at the school were spent as branch chair, strenuously fighting for members' interests, particularly during a very unpleasant period when bulk funding was introduced.
Integrity and professionalism in the face of attacks
While John says of himself that he is 'nothing special' in terms of PPTA, Canterbury regional chair Thomas Newton begs to differ.
"During the bulk funding period, when certain board members took the opportunity at every meeting to make either a personal or general attack on the association, he stood strong.
"At a board meeting just before the decision was made to take the school into bulk funding, several members present commented on the viciousness of the attacks on teachers' integrity and professionalism that John had to deal with," he said.
Representing the interests of the whole branch
"John has earned the trust of his colleagues for his discretion, honesty and fearlessness in his approach to senior management, often facing a large measure of unpleasantness," he said.
John worked very closely as chairman with specialist classroom teacher Terry Bligh, dealing with a number of workplace issues. He also forged a close relationship with field officers Ian Hamill and Jo Martin, representing the interests of the whole branch as well as individual teachers.

Milenka panovníka je historická pozice ve vztahu panovníka a jeho metresy (dlouhodobé sexuální partnerky). Některé z nich měly pozoruhodnou moc a byly mezi poddanými oblíbenější než legitimní královny. Důvod vzniku milostných afér panovníků je především v tom, že královské sňatky byly uzavírány v naprosté většině z politických důvodů či kvůli dynastickým zájmům. Ohledy na osobní panovníkovy preference při výběru partnerky hrály jen minimální roli.

Králové měli milenky i ve zbožném středověku a jejich manželky je obvykle trpěly u dvora. Pozice královy milenky byla vlastně stále v ohrožení, protože u dvora se vyskytoval nespočet dívek a žen, které mohly zaujmout panovníkovu pozornost. Často se pak spekulovalo o tom, jestli nová milenka zaujme pozici té současné natrvalo, nebo je jen krátkodobým rozmarem. Největším umem královské metresy tak bylo stále panovníka umět bavit (v jejich vztahu často nešlo pouze o sexuální stránku) a nezadat mu důvod k nespokojenosti.

Pro milenku panovníka se často užíval i termín favoritka, přestože toto označení se mohlo vztahovat i k jiným oblíbeným dámám královského dvora, bez toho, aby v jejich vztahu k panovníkovi hrál roli sexuální element.

V evropské historii nebyly děti královských metres obvykle zahrnovány do nástupnické linie, s občasnou výjimkou uzavření tajného sňatku.

První historicky doloženou milenkou českého panovníka je Anežka z Kuenringu, matka nemanželských dětí Přemysla Otakara II. Neznamená to, že Přemyslovi předchůdci milenky neměli, Anežka je pouze první, jejíž jméno zaznamenaly písemné prameny.

SAM ALLARDYCE believes his decision to chose Andy Carroll over Wilfried Bony will still prove to be the right one.
So far the statistics do no bear this out ahead of his West Ham side's Sunday lunchtime appointment with Swansea.
Bony has netted 31 times in 64 games since joining the Welsh outfit in the summer of 2013 while Carroll has racked up two goals and three serious injuries having made his loan switch from Liverpool permanent three weeks earlier.
"It was one or the other," Allardyce said. "We got the deal done with Andy and we couldn't do both. We didn't have enough money that year."
Asked if he would get the better value in the end, Allardyce said: "I think so. His first season in the Premier League at Newcastle he scored 11 goals in 16 or 17 matches.
"That showed at that young age he was a massive goal-scoring threat against anyone."
Carroll cost £15million - five times the fee Swansea paid Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem for Bony.
Swans manager Gary Monk was not convinced the Hammers had gone all out to land the Ivory Coast international.
"It's the first I've heard of that," he said. "But if that's what they were doing obviously they didn't really want him enough.
"We pursued Wilfried, he came here and is committed to us. The rest is history."


I am trying to use Custom seed list for IMS masking and need to understand how to create the input file from Datamaker ( like which format? ) . How to use this input file in SEEDLOAD (assuming this is the job to load in GRIDT01.GTSRC_REFERENCE_LOV1 ) . Then how to use the transformation maps to use this column and mask the file using (GTXMSKF) . I am able to mask IMS data using the transformation maps, but I need to use the custom seed list now. I need to modify both SCRAMBLE and the sample Seedlists that exist. In brief , I need to understand end to end process for using Custom seed list for IMS , DB2 and VSAM masking.
Trying to create and transfer custom seed list for IMS masking and want to use custom seed list of Canadian postal codes and province in Db2 table " GRIDT01.GTSRC_REFERENCE_LOV1" in order to perform IMS masking. Until now, I am able to process the SQL insert statements in Data maker and got the new seed list created. So, in order to have consistency between mainframe and data maker, need to insert same seed list into DB2 table "" GRIDT01.GTSRC_REFERENCE_LOV1"
My DBA , who will be doing the above task, wanted to know the JOB name which he can run to have these insert statement's into DB2 table " GRIDT01.GTSRC_REFERENCE_LOV1". Our understanding is that we can use one of the job provided during installation to create the new seed list .If this is not workable , please let me know the other way around .
Please download the attached Seedlists.zip. If WRF file is required for your needs, please contact CA TDM Support to see if one is available. This might have to be custom work.
Once the Seedlists.zip file is downoloaded, please unzip and read - yes, this is one of the few times that it is extremely important for you to read - the Readme.docx file. This Readme file documents the process that you will be following or is one that you can use as a guide to make your own procedure.
