Reconhecida como Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade em 1999 pela UNESCO, a Reserva Natural de Linhares (também conhecida como Reserva Natural Vale) é um dos 14 centros de alta diversidade e endemismo do Brasil e uma das áreas de conservação mais bem protegidas da América do Sul.

Sua área compreende 21.787 hectares do município brasileiro de Linhares (ES), constituindo cerca de 90% de Mata Atlântica remanescente no estado do Espírito Santo juntamente com a Reserva Biológica de Sooretama.

História
A Reserva Natural de Linhares foi fundada no ano de 1951, em um período em que a consciência ambiental ainda era restrita a poucos, tanto no Brasil como no mundo. Em 1973, a Reserva Natural de Linhares já possuía os atuais 21.787 hectares. Nesse mesmo ano foi instalada a primeira pesquisa de silvicultura com as espécies presentes na Reserva. Seu principal objetivo era conhecer as espécies florestais aptas à recuperação das margens de lagos construídos para a produção de energia elétrica. Em 1978 foram adotadas políticas florestais e ambientais focadas em pesquisa e manutenção, garantindo o desenvolvimento sustentável.

Objetivo
A Reserva possui diretrizes voltadas à proteção e conservação da biodiversidade com atividades que abrangem a proteção ecossistêmica, disseminação de germoplasma florístico, implantação e condução do programa de pesquisa envolvendo ecossistemas tropicais, capacitação e treinamento de mão-de-obra, além do desenvolvimento tecnológico para a recuperação de ecossistemas degradados. Tais diretrizes foram estabelecidas no Plano Diretor de Uso da Reserva, realizado em conjunto com o Banco Mundial, em 1998.

Clima
O clima na região é do tipo tropical, quente e úmido, apresentando verão chuvoso e inverno seco. A temperatura média anual é de 23,3°C, variando entre 14,8 e 34,2°C (média das mínimas e máximas, respectivamente). A precipitação pluviométrica média anual é de 1.202 mm, caracterizada por uma forte variação entre anos. Em geral, as chuvas se concentram no período de outubro a março.

Flora
Já são conhecidas mais de 2.650 espécies, sendo 920 arbóreas, 440 arbustivas, 990 herbáceas, 280 cipós lenhosos e 25 palmeiras, incluindo 37 bromélias e 110 orquídeas.

Ecossistemas
O regime climático e a semi-deciduidade (perda de folhas no período de seca) de um contingente significativo dos elementos arbóreos que compõem a vegetação é uma das principais características da Reserva, o que permite identificá-la como uma floresta estacional semidecidual (perde de 20 a 50% das folhas nos períodos secos).

 Formações vegetais naturais dentro da Reserva
 Floresta de tabuleiro – ocupa por volta de 68% da área total da Reserva.

As árvores do dossel atingem 30 metros de altura, podendo uma árvore alcançar até 40 metros. Em uma área de 0,1 hectare podem ser encontradas 216 espécies, sendo 99 arbóreas. Somente em florestas da região de Chocó, na Colômbia, e na Floresta de Dipterocarpus, em Bornéu, existem áreas tão ricas em espécies como na Floresta Atlântica de tabuleiro.

As espécies dominantes: Rinorea bahiensis (Tambor), Dialium guianense (Jataipeba), Senefeldera multiflora (Sucanga), Ecclinusa ramiflora (Aça), Eugenia platyphylla (Batinga-casca-grossa), Virola gardneri (Bicuíba), Hidrogaster trinervis (Bomba-d'água), Terminalia kuhlmannii (Pelada), Eriotheca macrophylla (Imbiruçu) e Pterocarpus rohrii (Pau sangue).

 Floresta de mussunga - aproximadamente 7,9% da Reserva.

Acompanha os cordões de solos arenosos e possui sub-bosque com maior penetração de luz; as árvores se apresentam com menores diâmetros e com alturas de até 15 metros. São comuns nessa área as bromélias (23 espécies), orquídeas (57 espécies) e aráceas (21 espécies).

Dentre as espécies mais comuns destacam-se: Guapira opposita (João-mole), Kielmeyera albopunctata (Nagib), Andira nítida (Angelim-de-morcego), Manilkara subsericea (Sapatão), Simira eliezeriana (Maiate), Aspidosperma pyricollum (Pequiá-sobre), Eugenia sulcata (Araçatuba), Gomidesia martiana (Batinga-da-mussununga), Eugenia bimarginata (Batinga-cabocla), Ocotea neesiana (Canela-da-mussununga) e Ocotea notata (Zico).

 Brejo, floresta de várzea e floresta ciliar – 11,6% da Reserva.

Estão associados aos vales dos rios e áreas alagadas. Os brejos permanentes, que aparecem em alguns trechos ao longo de cursos d'água, apresentam espécies herbáceas, principalmente de Cyperaceae, extremamente adensadas, além de espécies das famílias Onagraceae, Melastomataceae, Poaceae e Asteraceae. A pteridófita Blechnum serrulatum (Samambaia-do-nativo) é frequente no entorno destas áreas, bem como Lygodium volubile (Samambaia-abre-caminho). Na transição destas áreas para a terra firme ocorrem Symphonia globulifera (Guanandi) e Jacaranda puberula (Carobinha).

A floresta ciliar apresenta uma estrutura com presença marcante de Marantaceae e palmeiras, além do palmito-doce (Euterpe edulis).

A floresta de várzea apresenta menor diversidade florística, cujas espécies alcançam 12 metros de altura. A espécie dominante é a Tabebuia cassinoides (Caixeta), mas também aparecem o Callophyllum brasiliensis (Guanandi-preto) e a Annona glabra (Araticum-do-brejo).

 Campos nativos – cerca de 6% da área.

Os campos nativos são formações que ocorrem exclusivamente no sul da Bahia e norte do Espírito Santo, aparecendo como encraves na floresta de tabuleiro ou na floresta de mussununga, e têm composição florística semelhante àquela encontrada nas restingas do sudeste brasileiro, e está ocupada por quatro fisionomias de campos nativos, estabelecidos sobre substrato arenoso:

a) Nativo graminóide denso – cobertura herbácea com 1,30 metros de altura e dominado principalmente pelo Panicum lagostachyum (Capim-do-nativo), entre outras;

b) Nativo graminóide – cobertura herbácea e arbustiva esparsa, dominado principalmente por Miconia albicans (Quaresma-da-mussununga), Tibouchina urceolaris (Quaresma-mirim), Bonnetia anceps (Abricó-do-nativo), Marcetia taxifolia (Alecrim-do-nativo), entre outras;

c) Nativo arbustivo – cobertura arbustiva de até 5 metros de altura, com predominância de Schefflera selloi (Imbaubão-do-nativo), Protium icicariba (Amesclão) e Tabebuia elliptica (Ipê-mirim), entre outras;

b) Nativo em moitas – formações de moitas de 5 metros de altura, principalmente com as espécies: Guapira pernambucensis (João-moleza), Gomidesia martiana (Batinga-da-mussununga), Chamaecrista ensiformis (Jaúna), Manilkara subsericea (Sapatão), Andira nitida (Angelim-de-morcego), Tabebuia elliptica (Ipê-mirim), entre outras.

Fauna
A Reserva é um refúgio de vida silvestre. São mais de 600 espécies de vertebrados já registradas por diversos especialistas, sendo 26 espécies de peixes, 71 de anfíbios, 65 de répteis, 369 de aves e 100 de mamíferos. Considerando apenas as aves, por exemplo, a riqueza registrada na Reserva corresponde a aproximadamente 5% de todas as espécies de aves existentes no mundo. Para os invertebrados, são mais de 900 espécies de insetos e 178 espécies de aranhas confirmadas na Reserva Natural de Linhares.

Além de servir como um vasto campo para pesquisas, a Reserva é uma das mais importantes áreas de preservação do país, contribuindo para a preservação de várias espécies ameaçadas de extinção como, por exemplo, Priodontes maximus (tatu-canastra), Cebus robustus (macaco-prego), Leopardus pardalis (jaguatirica), Panthera onca (onça-pintada), Puma concolor (onça-parda) e Cnemidophorus nativo (lagarto-de-Linhares), listadas na categoria Vulnerável. Na categoria Em Perigo de Extinção, são considerados: Crax blumenbachii (mutum-do-sudeste) e Amazona rhodocorytha (papagaio-do-espírito-santo) e na categoria Criticamente em Perigo está enquadrado o Alouatta guariba (guariba).

Pesquisas
Em parcerias com diversas instituições, as pesquisas desenvolvidas na Reserva Natural de Linhares seguem as linhas de identificação e conservação de espécies da flora e fauna tropical; desenvolvimento de tecnologias silviculturais e de manejo florestal; recuperação ecossistêmica; amenização paisagística; ecologia tropical; estocagem de carbono e formação de ecossistemas de uso múltiplo.

No âmbito da flora, a primeira pesquisa realizada na Reserva foi o inventário florestal realizado pelo engenheiro florestal Dammis Heinsdijk, na década de 1960.

Um dos primeiros estudos relacionados à fauna data de 1985 e tratou de levantar a distribuição e o número de indivíduos de Crax blumenbachii (Mutum-do-sudeste) presentes na Reserva. Desde então, inúmeros foram os trabalhos que objetivaram diagnosticar a diversidade de espécies da região, bem como estudar a ecologia, o comportamento e as estratégias de conservação para a fauna local. Destaca-se o "Projeto Felinos". Um projeto que monitora desde 2005 as espécies de felinos presentes na Reserva, por meio de armadilhas fotográficas com sensor de movimento. A partir desse projeto já foi possível identificar nove indivíduos de Panthera onca (onças-pintadas) para a Reserva e atualmente estão sendo realizadas também análises parasitológicas e genéticas através da coleta de amostras fecais, para verificar a saúde e entender melhor a estrutura genética desta, que representa uma das últimas populações de onça-pintada da Mata Atlântica.

Viveiro de Mudas
A Reserva Natural de Linhares possui um viveiro que serve como berçário de novas florestas, onde são produzidas espécies florestais nativas para restauração da Mata Atlântica através da recomposição de matas ciliares, recuperação de áreas degradadas, recomposição de reservas legais, reflorestamentos para contenção de erosão e infiltração de águas pluviais, arborização urbana e reflorestamentos em geral.

A produção de mudas teve início no final da década de 1960 e aumentou consideravelmente seu volume a partir de 1970.

As espécies produzidas no Viveiro da Reserva pertencem a diversos ecossistemas brasileiros e a outras regiões tropicais do mundo. Entre as espécies mais conhecidas, podemos citar: jacarandá, pau-brasil, braúna-preta, jequitibá, cedro, pau-ferro, peroba, jatobá, paineira, macanaíba, angelim, sapucaia, figueira, araçá, ipês, canelas e palmeiras.

Visitação pública
A Reserva Natural de Linhares conta com uma completa infraestrutura para visitação, composta pelo Centro de Exposição Permanente da Mata Atlântica, trilhas interpretadas e sinalizadas, restaurante, Centro de Treinamento com auditório, anfiteatro e salas de aula, ambulatório, áreas de lazer, lojinha de suvenires, acomodações e estacionamento.

O Centro de Exposição Permanente da Mata Atlântica apresenta o histórico de degradação e a situação atual deste bioma, além das ações em recuperação que foram ou estão sendo desenvolvidas. São exibidas amostras das coleções de insetos, sementes, frutos e madeiras.

A Reserva conta também com sete trilhas temáticas voltadas para a conservação, consciência ambiental, atividades de recuperação de áreas degradadas e biodiversidade; sendo a duração dos percursos de, aproximadamente, uma hora. Cada trilha comporta um número máximo de 20 pessoas, que são conduzidas por um orientador ambiental. Algumas das trilhas possuem sala de campo, que representa uma versão ao ar livre de uma sala de aula, com vinte bancos sob um telhado colonial, onde o monitor expõe os detalhes do percurso em questão.

Unreleased Harry Nilsson Tracks in 'Popeye' Reissue
The most comprehensive version of the Popeye soundtrack ever assembled, featuring the film's beloved songs by Harry Nilsson, performed by the cast (including Robin Williams, Shelly Duvall, and Ray Walston), never-before released original score composed by Thomas Pierson, and an entire disc of demos performed by Nilsson, is being released by Varèse Sarabande. Popeye – Deluxe Edition, Music From the Motion Picture, which also includes newly discovered images and extensive liner notes, will be released on September 29.
"I think Harry liked the working class aspect of it – Popeye, the Man in Crisis," Van Dyke Parks, who starred as Hoagy the Piano Player and arranged/conducted the music, said of Nilsson's involvement in the film. "[Director Robert] Altman gave Harry an incredible carte blanche for the music, and that was wonderful. Altman and Harry shared a lot of things, for example, a deep understanding about the abstraction of the creative process, understanding that a concept might be revealed, rather than planned. Both had that skill, that extemporaneous air."
The songs written by Nilsson were recorded on location in Malta, with Parks being charged to "sweeten" the score in Los Angeles. But a musician's strike would lead to a change in tactics, with composer Thomas Pierson being brought on board and the recording moved to London. "They needed somebody to bring things to a conclusion," Pierson explained. "And they wanted to use a lot of the traditional Popeye/nautical sort of themes, and they basically didn't have any of that."
Listen to "It's Not Easy Being Me"
See the complete track list below. Order the CD here.
Acclaimed as a prodigious songwriter ("One," "Coconut," among them), Nilsson ironically earned his biggest hits recording songs by others. "Everybody's Talkin'," written by Fred Neil, reached #6 in the U.S. His recording of "Without You" became a #1 hit in 1972, and was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger. Both earned Nilsson Grammy Awards. His 1971 album, Nilsson Schmilsson, was nominated for four Grammys including Album of the Year.

The 1980 film was a live-action musical version of E.C. Segar's classic comic strip, directed by Altman and produced by Robert Evans. The idea was first presented to him by Evans during a party at the producer's home in mid-1977. Nilsson's initial response, "We shared two or three vodkas, and then I told him I didn't think it was such a good idea to do Popeye."
Watch the original movie trailer
Eventually though he came on board – though the team at Paramount still needed convincing. In May 1979 Nilsson was given three weeks to write three songs for the film. He would present home demos for the tracks "He Needs Me," "I'm Mean," "Swee'Pea's Lullaby," among others.

Q: Laravel Get List of Models is it possible with Laravel to get a list of all defined Models into an array in a project so that they could be iterated over in a loop ie
foreach ($models as $model) {
   echo $model;
}

A: If all your models are in a single directory, you can list files in this directory and then generate class names based on file names. I'm afraid that's the only option, as Laravel doesn't require declaring models anywhere - creating class is enough. Moreover, listing classes existing in given namespace won't work either, as some models might be implemented, just not loaded.
Try the following code:
<?php
$dir = '/path/to/model/directory';
$files = scandir($dir);

$models = array();
$namespace = 'Your\Model\Namespace\\';
foreach($files as $file) {
  //skip current and parent folder entries and non-php files
  if ($file == '.' || $file == '..' || !preg_match('\.php', $file)) continue;
  $models[] = $namespace . preg_replace('\.php$', '', $file);
}

print_r($models);

A: I know this answer is pretty late, but could be good if someone is trying to find solution for something similar.
To identify list of classes in my project, I simply defined this small function that helps to get classes at runtime with the help of
\File Facade that returns SplFileInfo object array
/**
 * @param $dir
 */
function getClassesList($dir)
{
    $classes = \File::allFiles($dir);
    foreach ($classes as $class) {
        $class->classname = str_replace(
            [app_path(), '/', '.php'],
            ['App', '\\', ''],
            $class->getRealPath()
        );
    }
    return $classes;
}

Usage of above function in Laravel
$classes = getClassesList(app_path('Models'));
// assuming all your models are present in Models directory

A: Here's a Laravel helper I'm using in production:
if (!function_exists('app_models')) {
    function app_models($path = null, $base_model = null, bool $with_abstract = false)
    {
        // set up this filesystem disk in your config/filesystems file
        // this is just pointing to the app/ directory using the local driver
        $disk = Storage::disk('app');

        return collect($disk->allFiles($path))
            ->map(function ($filename) use ($disk) {
                return get_class_from_file($disk->path($filename));
            })
            ->filter(function ($class) use ($base_model, $with_abstract) {
                $ref = new ReflectionClass($class);

                if ($ref->isAbstract() && !$with_abstract) return false;

                return $ref->isSubclassOf(
                    $base_model ?? \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::class
                );
            });

    }
}

Use it like this:
// all models in the app dir, recursively
$models = app_models();

// all models in the app/Models dir, recursively
$models = app_models('Models');

// same as above, except this will only show you the classes that are a subclass of the given model
$models = app_models('Models', App\Model::class);

// same again, but including abstract class models
$models = app_models('Models', App\Model::class, true);

Here's the helper for converting file paths into classes:
note: You have a lot of different options here. This is reliable, simple, and works well for me.
Here is another answer detailing some other options:
Get class name from file
if (!function_exists('get_class_from_file')) {
    function get_class_from_file($filepath)
    {
        // this assumes you're following PSR-4 standards, although you may
        // still need to modify based on how you're structuring your app/namespaces
        return (string)Str::of($filepath)
            ->replace(app_path(), '\App')
            ->replaceFirst('app', 'App')
            ->replaceLast('.php', '')
            ->replace('/', '\\');
    }
}

I watched Django Unchained last night. It's taken me a while to get around to it for some reason, but I finally sat down and put it on and I loved it. Possibly the best thing Tarantino has done since Pulp Fiction. As is usual in his films, there was a 10 – 15 minute section which lost my attention a bit, but with the exception of Reservoir Dogs (which I still think is his best), this always seems to happen. I'm still waiting for him to get a decent editor who tells him to cut a little bit of the bagginess out and then I think we'll get an undisputed masterpiece from him.
Anyway, that's all besides the point really. I don't want to talk specifically about Tarantino, but about contemporary cinema in general.
Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Seven, Fight Club, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, Momento, L.A. Confidential, Goodfellas, Fargo, Bad Lieutenant, The Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, American History X, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Royal Tenenbaums, Smoke, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Lost in Translation. (Ok, the last one only just makes it in as it was released in 2003).
But this is even without considering some of the (arguably) more populist films like The Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix, Trainspotting etc. etc. (And I'm deliberately avoiding foreign language films as I could go on forever).
I've tried to do the same with films made between 2003 and 2013 which, admittedly, is a slightly shorter timeframe, but I'm struggling to get anywhere near as many dragged out of my memory. One or two at best. So unless there's a glut in the next eighteen months, I suspect there's going to be no comparison.
So what happened? Did the economic downturn force studios to restrict their risk to sequels and superhero movies only? Has television taken over with all the best screenwriters and filmmakers moving to HBO and FOX drama series instead? Or has the demographic just changed? There was an appetite in that period – I remember it well – for things that were quirky, and new, and stylish. That was the definition of cool. I'm not so sure that appetite still exists in quite the same way. Films that play around with genre, that self-reference themselves and all that has come before them – perhaps the audience just isn't there for them as it was before. Or perhaps there is just a perception that it's not there anymore and that popular interest just needs to be reawakened by something great. I hope so, and I hope something comes along soon to kick start a fresh look at the kind of thing studios make. Because I remember being enthused by Martin Scorsese's claim that cinema was the main twentieth century art-form, and I just can't be similarly enthused by Avengers Assemble or Thor.
It's economics (and greed). Films are mostly made for the international market. The rule is more action, less talk. "Serious" drama is happening on television if it's happening at all. Binge watch Breaking Bad — which offers heartbreaking narrative coherence through the long haul, and cinematic views of an epic dessert/western landscape. The better-half and I have almost given up on movies — or at least going out to the movies, and are saving our $ to someday purchase a large screen/monitor for our home cinema. 12 Years a Slave, which at least, is about something, gives up hope though we haven't seen it yet. Over this past holiday, we saw Cloud Atlas on my sister's 48" screen — one of the best films I'd seen in quite a while. Love the falling snow on your blog btw.
Hi Marion. Yes, I agree, I think TV has taken over on the whole where quality drama is concerned. I love Breaking Bad – have been working my way through that on DVD Box sets for a few months now.

Q: Let $G$ be a group, $a$ and $b$ are non-identity elements of $G$, $ab=b^2a$ ... Let $G$ be a group, $a$ and $b$ are non-identity elements of $G$, $ab=b^2a$. If the subgroup of $G$ generated by $a$ has order 3, what about the order of the subgroup of $G$ generated by $b$?

A: We have
$$
ab = bba
$$
multiplying gives
$$
aaab = aabba
$$
$$
b = aabba
$$
$$
baa = aabb
$$
Now we van work:
$$
baa  = a(ab)b = a(bba)b = (ab)b(ab) = (bba)b(bba) = b^2(ab)bba = b^2(bba)bba
$$
$$ = b^4(ab)ba =  b^4(bba)ba = b^6(ab)a = b^6(bba)a = b^8aa
$$
so
$$baa = b^8aa \Rightarrow b^7 = e
$$

A: $$b=a^2b^2a\Rightarrow b^n=a^2b^{2n}a$$
i.e.,
$$b^{2n}=ab^na^2 $$
then,
$$b^8=ab^4a^2=aab^2a^4=aaaba^6=b$$
whence,
$$b^7=e$$
futhermore, since 7 is a prime and $b$ is not a identity, we can not have a positive interger $k$ less than 7 that
$$b^k=e$$
hence, 7 is the order of b. (This answer seems easier.)


So to get a better notion of what causes fire in your fire bowl, let's take a look at these 4 basic elements. FUEL: Presented the right circumstances, most substances will burn or combine with oxygen in combustion, a chemical process that liberates heat. (Remember that flames is the heat and light resulting from combustion. ) However , the temperature at which things definitely will burn in fire starts, called the ignition stage or kindling point, differs according to the substance. For example , the kindling point of film, nitrocellulose, is only 279 deg Fahrenheit - not recommended use with fire pits. For made of wool it is 401 degrees F - obviously making flames pits hard to light, and for newsprint 446 diplomas Fahrenheit - perfect for flames pits. What Fuel should I use in my Fire Pit? Wooden or charcoal can be used for most fire pits. Some fireplace pits run on gas, a fantastic alternative. See Artistic Open fire Pits for converting the fire pit to gas.

That being said, this update is a little more exciting than usual. No, there's noting major being added or changed. What you'll notice is that some of the icons around the PS4 home screen and within the PlayStation Store have been changed a little.

Everything to Know About 'American Idol' Star Lauren Alaina — Then and Now
Photo by John Shearer/2021 CMT Awards/Getty Images for CMT
Just like any other American Idol alumni, Lauren Alaina has a success story of her own. Let's get to know this country singer's journey from Rossville, Georgia to Nashville, Tennessee.
Who was Lauren Alaina Prior to American Idol?
Before she gained public traction through American Idol, Lauren Alaina was a simple teenage girl in Rossville, Georgia. She began hitting her first notes when she was three, growing up to like country music.
In high school, she was a cheerleader and a singer who regularly performed around her hometown. Back in 2009, she became the first ever winner of WinniSTAR youth talent contest at Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park.
Her trip to Idol would not be possible without her cousin Holly, who encouraged her to sign up. At 15, Alaina auditioned for American Idol in Nashville, and after impressing the judges, she was unanimously sent to the Hollywood Round.
A post shared by Lauren Alaina (@laurenalaina)
She finished in American Idol Season 10 as a Runner-Up
Alaina became a part of the Top Three alongside Scotty McCreery and Haley Reinhart. Leading up to her live shows, she blew out one of her vocal cords, straining her original voice. Despite so, Alaina was able to give her final performance consequently ending up second to McCreery.

After her American Idol win, Alaina signed a recording contract with Mercury Nashville. She then debuted her first studio album, Wildflower, in 2011. This album peaked at number five on Billboard Top 200. In 2017, she released Road Less Traveled in which Alaina earned her first number one in the Billboard Country Airplay hit through the album's title track.
Since then, she's continued to create and perform music. In 2019, she even joined season 28 of Dancing with the Stars, placing fourth with pro partner Gleb Savchenko. She also starred in the Hallmark movie Roadhouse Romance and had the chance to write and publish her own book, Getting Good at Being You: Learning to Love Who God Made You to Be. Her latest album, Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World, is a deeper dive to her personal story.
What Has She Been Up to Now?
Last February, Alaina reached her childhood dream to be inducted at the Grand Ole Opry. According to the singer, becoming a member of the Opry is something she would always be proud of.
Recently, the country singer revealed that she will soon be a wife to her longtime boyfriend, Cameron Scott Arnold. Her romance with Arnold has always been low-key, but the two made an exception this month to announce the big news.
This year, she has also made the tough decision to leave her record label for 11 years and sign with Big Loud Records. Regarding Big Loud as her "dream label," she's now on a mission to tap her country roots as she makes more music.

Q: How to reorder taskkill result as table I need to know how to re-organize the result of a command into a table with my own answers within a batch file for windows xp pro. For instance if I run the command:
taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe

And the result is:

SUCCESS: The process "iexplore.exe" with PID 1553 has been terminated.

I want my table to do this
___________________________________________________________________________
|             Process               |              Result                 |
|___________________________________|_____________________________________|
|                                   |                                     |
|         iexplore.exe              |      Successfully terminated        |
|                                   |                                     |
___________________________________________________________________________

Is there anyway of doing this?

A: @ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

SET returntext=SUCCESS: The process "iexplore.exe" with PID 1553 has been terminated.

::
FOR /f "delims=" %%i IN ('echo %returntext%') DO (
CALL :report %%i
)
GOTO :eof

:report
IF %1==SUCCESS: SET process=%~4&SET result=Successfully terminated
:: other translations if required...
(SET text=)&CALL :centre 75 _
SET uscore75=%text%

ECHO %uscore75%

CALL :writec1c2 Process Result
CALL :writec1c2 _ _ _
CALL :writec1c2
CALL :writec1c2 "%process%" "%result%"
CALL :writec1c2
ECHO %uscore75%

GOTO :eof

:writec1c2
SET text=%~1&CALL :centre 36 %3
(SET col1=%text%)
SET text=%~2&CALL :centre 36 %3

CALL SET done=%%text:~%1%%
IF NOT DEFINED done GOTO centrelp
CALL SET text=%text:~1%
CALL SET done=%%text:~%1%%
IF DEFINED done SET text=%text:~0,-1%
GOTO :eof

I've set your return message into a variable which gets ECHOed as the source 'file' for the FOR /F. In your real case, you'd use the taskkill command between the quotes.
When the procedure :report is called, the entire line is delivered as parameters.
The first parameter is SUCCESS: and the fourth "iexplore.exe"
Since you give no clue as to how else you may wish to use it, I've simply set PROCESS to the 4th parameter, stripping the quotes and RESULT to the text you used.
Next step is a routine which centres the string in TEXT in a field width given as its first parameter and an optional fill character as its second. This returns TEXT with the length specified and the original contents centred between the fill character specified.
hence (SET text=)&CALL :centre 75 _ returns TEXT as 75 underscores. This is stored in uscore75
The routine :writec1c2 writes out the two columns with a leading and trailing pipe plus a pipe between the two columns. The two text items for the columns are supplied as the first 2 parameters and the fill character as the third. All :writec1c2 needs to do is to centre the two text items in a field of 36 spaces and write out the resultant line.
Calling :writec1c2 with three underscores means that the "column text" is an underscore in each case, and they're filled to length 36 with underscores...

Here's a slightly reformatted version.
It starts an iexplore instance then

*

*Waits 8 sec for iexplore.exe to start up

*Starts the report with the header

*Terminates iexplore using taskkill and reports results

*Attempts to terminate iexplore again and reports the failure

*Ends the report with a footer.

I've added a lot more documentation, too.
In the :report routine, I've included and jumped-over a bit of code which would display the parameters delivered from TASKKILL. Note the difference between %n and %~n` - the first retains the quotes and the second removes them.
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

:: so repeat...
IF NOT DEFINED done GOTO centrelp
:: Now the string is LONGER than required length.
:: Remove the first character, which will be a FILL
:: Then repeat the same parsing trick again to trim off any excess.
CALL SET text=%text:~1%
CALL SET done=%%text:~%1%%
IF DEFINED done SET text=%text:~0,-1%
GOTO :eof

Note that rather than simply reporting successes and failres, TASKKILL sends success reports to standard output (STDOUT) and failure reports to standard error (STDERR.) These are combined by the code by 2>&1 which directs STDERR (2) to STDOUT (1) BUT since this is within the command executed by FOR, each of the special characters > and & need to be escaped by a caret ^


Atracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is an abnormal communication between the trachea and the esophagus due to either a congenital or an acquired condition. Congenital TOF is due to an incomplete development of the tracheoesophageal septum occurring between the 4th and 8th week of the embryonic period. Acquired TOF is secondary to malignancy, infections, or traumatic which is either mechanical or iatrogenic. Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff-related trauma contributes to the majority of TOFs in the nonmalignant group. The incidence of tracheal erosion as a result of an ETT in mechanically ventilated patients is 0.3%–3%. TOFs are thought to be due to erosion from the tube tip or cuff into the posterior wall of the trachea to result in a fistulous communication with the esophagus. The other etiologies of iatrogenic complication include endoscopic procedures (e.g., endobronchial brachytherapy) or lobectomy.
TOF may present with recurrent aspiration pneumonia or recurrent hypoxemic events, which may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation. TOF may also present with acute respiratory distress, evidence of enteral feed in ETT aspirate during suctioning, positive air leak, and gastric distension.
This case report describes two cases of TOF closure using over–the-scope clips. Both TOFs are successfully closed – one by Padlock and another by Ovesco clips. Both the patients did well and were asymptomatic for 1–6 months after the placement of clips.
A 56-year-old male presented with a 7-year history of cough on swallowing liquids and recent onset postprandial chest pain. He had recurrent lower respiratory tract infections requiring multiple courses of oral antibiotics. He was diagnosed to have chronic bronchitis at an outside hospital. He had no vomiting or gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. He had a history of the right posterolateral thoracotomy at the 5th intercostal space for suspected lung tumor 7 years back, and the operative details were not available. He had no addictions.
At the time of her presentation, his complete blood count and differential were normal. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed which revealed a pseudodiverticulum at 26 cm and a fistulous opening at 30 cm from incisors [Figure 1]. A barium esophagogram revealed a fistula between the lower esophagus and segmental bronchus of the right lower lung field [Figure 2]. The option of endoscopic closure and surgery was discussed with the patient and the relatives, and the following procedure was performed. Under conscious sedation, endoscopy was performed using forward-viewing single-channel gastroscope (GIF 180; Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Padlock Clip (Aponos Medical, Kingston, NH, United States) was successfully deployed for the closure of esophageal edge of the fistula site. Repeat barium swallow confirmed closure of TOF [Figure 3]. He was asymptomatic at 9-month follow-up.
A 19-year-old male sustained road traffic accident and was operated in a referral hospital for lacerated neck wound and fracture of the mandible. Postsurgery, he had cough on swallowing liquids, was diagnosed to have aspiration pneumonia, and was discharged on oral antibiotics. He underwent EGD and a fistulous opening was noted at 21 cm from incisors with upper esophageal sphincter at 17 cm. Barium esophagogram confirmed the diagnosis of TOF in the upper esophagus. After discussing treatment options of surgery and endoscopic closure by clips, the following procedure was performed. A trial suctioning was done using an empty variceal band ligator cap, and later using 9 mm × 11 mm Ovesco clip (Ovesco Endoscopy, Tubingen, Germany), the fistula was successfully closed, and he is asymptomatic at 1-month follow up [Figure 4] and [Figure 5].
TOF can be either congenital or acquired. Congenital TOF can present in adults, but three criteria have to be met: No surrounding inflammation or malignancy, absence of adherent lymph nodes, and presence of normal mucosa.
The most common etiology of nonmalignant acquired TOF is a complication of intubation with cuff-related tracheal injury. Thin barium can confirm and type the TOF. Braimbridge and Keith classified TOF as (i) Type I, esophageal diverticulum with a large ostium and a fistula at its tip; (ii) Type II, a short tract running directly from the esophagus to the bronchus or the trachea; (iii) Type III, a fistulous tract connecting the esophagus to a cyst in the lobe, which, in turn, communicates with the bronchus; and (iv) Type IV, a fistula that runs into a sequestrated segment or lobe.
In Case 1, Type III Braimbridge and Keith bronchoesophageal fistula secondary to earlier lobectomy was noted. Padlock clip was placed as the TOF was at 30 cm from incisors. In Case 2, the TOF was in the postcricoid region and was secondary to intubation, and Ovesco clip was used for closure of TOF. In both the cases, there was no immediate postprocedural complication. Both the clips were applied successfully. Padlock clip closure of TOF was attempted in two other cases but failed in one case, there was a stricture adjacent to TOF, and the approximation of the edges was not feasible, and in another, the defect was large 3 cm with fibrotic edges. The main reason for success was complete approximation of the borders of the defect inside the cap with maximum suction in both the cases. The first case we had no option of Ovesco clip as it was not available in India at that time. For the second case, Ovesco was chosen for technicality. The article was written with a table so that it becomes easy to select between the two clips which none of the earlier articles had mentioned. The comparison between the two clips is as given in [Table 1].
Size of the luminal defect and not the length of the leak or fistula outside the GI tract and time from perforation play a role with smaller defects and acute perforations being easier to close than larger and chronic ones. The classic acronym foreign bodies, radiation, infection/inflammation, epithelialization, neoplasm, distal obstruction, and steroids in the setting of fistula management is imperative to long-term success. To our knowledge, there are only few case reports of TOF successfully sealed with clips. Over-the-scope clip clips are easy to apply, and they can be used for closure of TOFs.
Over-the-scope clips might be considered for bridging the gap of TOF from the esophageal end. It can be an alternative to surgery in selected TOF cases such as poor surgical candidate, small defect <1 cm, benign etiology of TOF, and inpatient consenting for clip.

Consumer policy is a comparably young policy area. Yet it has emancipated from a narrow focus on health and safety issues and engages today self-consciously in a wide range of policy areas such as finance, energy or information society issues. Yet, today's consumer policy is challenged. Some criticize its actionism, incoherence and paternalism. Critics argue that these insufficiencies lead to an over-ambitious policy and unintended damages to other legitimate policy objectives. In a conference Justice and Consumer Protection Minister Jochen Hartloff, Director of the Consumer Advice Center Rheinland-Pfalz Ulrike von der Lühe and Prof. Dr. Christian Thorun Director of ConPolicy GmbH discuss the question how consumer policy can be professionalised.

David Landry's Inquiry into the New Testament has everything desired in a textbook: crystal-clear explanations, beautiful page layout with gorgeous pictures, key terms and discussion questions at the end of every chapter, fascinating sidebars, and above all a keen sensitivity to the literary and historical contexts of the New Testament, as well as its contemporary significance. With its finger right on the pulse of current New Testament scholarship and well-designed for the academic setting, this textbook will benefit both student and teacher. Highly recommended!
Stephen C. Carlson
I cannot recommend this textbook highly enough. David Landry has composed an ideal introduction for students who will encounter the New Testament in a single semester as part of a general education curriculum. Students will be equipped with all the necessary technical, historical, scholarly, and theological resources to read the New Testament critically. Most impressive and useful in the way it marries methodology with specific text, this volume allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of each biblical book and to develop the critical skills to read the New Testament on their own. The volume includes a range of carefully considered digressions on relevant topics, helping students think through issues and recognize the New Testament as a book rooted in the past but speaking to the present. Students will be well positioned to read and think about the New Testament, to enter upper-division seminars, and to reflect on how these early Christian texts remain important for their lives and for the world around them.
Daemon University
A useful and user-friendly text for undergraduate study of the New Testament. While clearly based on the most up-to-date scholarship, the presentation will be especially helpful for students approaching the Bible critically for the first time. The text never falls into excessive jargon; the style is clear, with complex issues neatly developed.
Landry's first few chapters on the background to the New Testament texts are comprehensive yet compact. Discussions of such issues as document dating, canonical development, comparison of canonical and noncanonical gospels, and the task of critical inquiry are all helpful.
Time and again, I found this text fit well with my own presentation of the material and the range of students I encounter in my classroom. It has the real feel of classroom experience. I can see myself using this textbook very successfully, and I think other teachers of the Bible would find it similarly useful.
Mark Matson
Milligan College
David Landry and John Martens provide a thorough and accessible introduction to the New Testament replete with images, review and discussion questions, key terms, and bibliography. The approach is primarily historical and literary. What makes Inquiry into the New Testament distinctive from other introductory texts, however, is its engagement with the ongoing use of the Bible in the contemporary world, whether for good or ill. Landry and Martens address the historical and present-day significance of various parts of the New Testament, and furnish each chapter of their book with discussion questions that sometimes engage controversial issues. Various topics such as fundamentalism, politics, economics, gender, and social and environmental justice come to the fore, especially in the last chapter. The authors effectively demonstrate why the academic study of the New Testament is important, regardless of one's religious orientation. I highly recommend Inquiry into the New Testament for undergraduate courses.
Alicia J. Batten
Conrad Grebel University College, University of Waterloo
In the overcrowded field of introductory textbooks, Inquiry into the New Testament is a standout. Designed with the undergraduate student in mind, this engaging and pedagogically smart volume explores salient historical, literary, theological, and wider interpretive issues both within and with the New Testament. Reflecting decades of teaching and scholarship, Landry and Martens show why a critical New Testament literacy is indispensable for understanding the power the Bible exerts, for better and for worse, in contemporary culture. Few introductions readily embrace this challenge so directly, and none does so more effectively. It's a superb choice for the beginning New Testament course and one that will enrich many classrooms for years to come.
Gary A. Phillips
The enormous cultural impact of the Bible—and in particular, the New Testament—has given people of all backgrounds and traditions at least some familiarity with it. Yet the Bible remains one of the most misread and misunderstood books of all time. Given the sheer variety of interpretive and critical methods, perhaps this isn't altogether surprising.
In Inquiry into the New Testament: Ancient Context to Contemporary Significance, David Landry offers a readable, informed, and thorough introduction to this important collection of books. Teachable and ecumenical, the text includes methodological tools, reading guides, key terminology, review and discussion questions, images, and recommendations for further reading that will equip students to understand both Early Christianity and its foundational texts. With sections on literary and historical context, source criticism, interpretive lenses, the formation of the canon, the books of the New Testament as well as noncanonical gospels, and contemporary application, Inquiry into the New Testament highlights not only the ancient importance of the New Testament, but its continued modern significance, as well.

Inquiry into the New Testament: Ancient Context to Contemporary Significance, written by David T. Landry with John W. Martens, offers an informative introduction to the history, literature, and theology of the New Testament. In a market that is crowded with introductory textbooks about the New Testament, this survey by Landry and Martens will certainly engage students. They have written an introductory textbook that surveys the critical methods, various interpretations, and necessary background information that will equip students to understand the New Testament.
Landry and Martens have organized their textbook into twenty-two chapters. Each chapter explores a particular subject, text, or group of texts. The basic premise of this textbook is that an unbiased interpretation of the New Testament requires the reader to pay attention to the literary and historical context of the verse, passage, and book under examination. With this premise in mind the authors follow a similar pattern of examining a subject, text, or group of texts by introducing students to the methods of biblical criticism in connection to their practical application in each chapter.
Although Landry and Martens acknowledge that their textbook follows the same approach of Bart Ehrman's popular New Testament textbook, which introduces the various methods of biblical criticism inductively, they point out that their textbook is unique in at least two ways. First, their textbook is shorter because it does not discuss the post-apostolic literature of early Christianity.
Instead they have chosen to focus only on Christian literature produced in the first century. Second, Landry and Martens recognize that most undergraduate students enroll in a New Testament course because they have to be there and not always because they want to be there. In order to make the New Testament more appealing to such an audience the authors have chosen to focus more on what historians often call the "so what?" question, which they understand as the relevance of biblical texts to modern people.
A critical evaluation of every chapter in this textbook is out of the scope of this review. Instead, this review will provide a short summary of the textbook and highlight some content and features that might appeal to both the student and the teacher.
Landry and Martens provide the necessary background information to understand New Testament texts in the first chapters. They explore the formation of the New Testament, Greco-Roman religions, ancient Judaism, and the Roman Empire. The subsequent chapters introduce students to the Gospels, the methods of biblical criticism, and the apostle Paul.
While some chapters focus on individual texts, others discuss a group of texts. The authors group together the following texts: Paul's correspondence with the Thessalonians, Philippians, and Galatians; the Johannine literature (the Gospel of John and letters of John); the Deutero-Pauline and Pastoral Epistles; and the general epistles (James, Jude, 1 and 2 Peter, and Hebrews). Perhaps some of the most unique chapters of this textbook discuss source criticism and the synoptic problem, the quest for the historical Jesus, and the New Testament in the modern world.
This textbook has some unique content and features that may appeal to students. First, each chapter begins with an introduction that engages the student with interesting background information about a subject, text, or group of texts. Second, each chapter includes textboxes with discussions about interesting topics. For instance, the chapter about the Acts of the Apostles includes a textbox that discusses the historical reliability of Acts. Another example is the introductory chapter to Paul, which includes a textbox that asks whether Paul was the inventor of Christianity. The teacher may certainly find these textboxes useful for generating discussion in the classroom. Third, the chapters are written in clear language that the non-expert will easily understand. Fourth, the chapters are not very long so they will maintain the students' attention.
This textbook has some unique features that may appeal to the teacher too: 1) important key terms and phrases are in bold to more easily capture the attention of the students; 2) the authors have included helpful footnotes that can direct the students' attention to other resources; 3) the authors have included a list of key terms, review questions, discussion questions, and suggestions for further study at the end of each chapter.
There are some other unique features in this textbook that deserve recognition. The publisher has included images of biblical events or historical locations. In addition, a few chapters have helpful charts or tables for the purpose of organizing or summarizing biblical concepts. Moreover, this textbook includes a few maps, such as Paul's journeys in Acts.
Landry and Martens have written a textbook designed for undergraduates that will engage them with a thoughtful discussion about historical, literary, and theological interpretive issues within the New Testament. The textbook is logically organized and written in clear language. Overall, this textbook will provide students insight into the critical methods to interpret the New Testament while highlighting the historical context and significance of verses, passages, and texts in the modern world.

Illustrated. Bibliographies. Indexed. ISBN: 978-1-59982-174-0. This introductory NT textbook, designed for academic use at the undergraduate level, lays out in its six-page introduction some principles for studying the NT critically (context is crucial, evidence-based conclusions, no "special rules" for interpreting the Bible) and places itself in considers the formation of the NT, some prominent noncanonical Gospels, Greco-Roman religions, ancient Judaism, and the Roman empire, respectively. Then, after an introduction to the Gospels and to methods of biblical criticism, respectively, it surveys the NT in roughly canonical order: the Gospel of Mark, source criticism and the Synoptic problem, the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Luke, Acts of the Apostles, the Gospel of John and the Johannine letters, Paul and the undisputed letters (four chapters), the Deuteropauline and Pastoral epistles, the catholic epistles and Hebrews, the book of Revelation, the quest for the historical Jesus, and the NT in the modern world. A fourteen-page glossary is included. Landry and Martens are both professors of NT at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The quest of college and university professors to find the most useful New Testament introduction is neverending. This work by David Landry and John Martens, both members of the theology faculty at St. Thomas University in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is an admirable attempt to find the right balance, size, and level of comprehension needed for a textbook to be in college or university courses. The type of course the authors have in mind is one in a religious studies context rather than as part of a proper theological curriculum. Thus they aspire to approach the biblical text "free of bias" regarding its theological significance or authority, although leaving some openings for teacher and student to move in that direction if desired. The exposition of the social and religious context of the New Testament and the descriptions of the contexts of the individual books are well done and pedagogically attractive. Given the spirit of the book, perhaps a bibliography with leads to theological interpretation of the New Testament writings would be useful. overall, those teaching in a mainly religious studies context will want to take a look at this resource.

The Poor Mouth by Myles na gCopaleen.
Adapted for Stage by Paul Lee.
The original production was directed by Ronan Smith and featured Paul Lee as the Ould Grey Fella and PJ Brady as Bonaparte. Set design by Blaithin Sheerin. First presented in An Beal Bocht, Charlemont Street, Dublin as part of the1989 Dublin Theatre Festival.
This is the award winning comedy play adapted from the book of the same name written by Flann O'Brien (Myles na gCopaleen). Any attempt to describe this two act piece of theatre as anything other than a mad comedy would be totally inaccurate. This two-man show is a rumbustious comedy which hurls out satirical one-liners at a frantic pace.The novel was adapted for stage by Paul Lee and first presented in the pub An Beal Bocht, Charlemont Street for the Dublin Theatre Festival in 1989.
From there it went on to tour Ireland and England and won the Guardian Critics Choice Award at the Edinburgh Festival 1991.

Recycled Leather for a Better World.
Our leather products are made from rescued deadstock skins, repurposed vintage clothing and upcycled post-production waste. That means for some of our production we actually chop up old leather garments that have reached their expiration date in terms of style and turn them into new beautiful jackets and accessories with a vintage soul. This not only gives the product a soft worn-in feel but also makes it a far more sustainable alternative to the average newly produced leather garment. Other times we use offcuts from the garment industry or rejected skins from the tanneries. An increased number of cut-lines in each garment enable us to use what otherwise would have gone to waste. And it adds character!
Deadwood's approach is far from fast fashion and anxious design. We will never be about reinventing fashion. Instead, Deadwood sets out to reinvent how we think about fashion. We are about rebooting iconic styles, gently updating them with a modern touch and inspiring customers to buy and wear consciously. Our collections are updated bi-annually and contain a large core of iconic carry-over styles, all in line with our idea of slow fashion.
Are Deadwood leather jackets environmentally sustainable?
In short, they are better than all the rest!
Deadwood's leather jackets are made of 100% recycled leather which is our way to contribute to a saner fashion industry. However, the question is difficult to answer since the concept of "sustainability" depends on so many factors. Would it be possible to scale up our production into infinity? No, obviously our production relies on the previous production of leather garments (which is usually quite strenuous on the environment). But we believe it's always a good thing to make use of existing resources that would otherwise have gone to waste.
Are there any side effects negative for the environment?
Yes, of course there are. Nobody's perfect. We are not zero polluting; no business or person is. That being said, compared to a new leather garment from any brand out there (or a garment made from cotton or polyester for that matter), our products are made from 100% recycled leather which cuts the impact on the environment into only a fraction. That's why we think our project is good for the world!

Winston wins Big Ten POTY, becomes ninth Spartan to win award
Photo: Andrew Herner/WDBM
Julian Mitchell, Men's Basketball Beat Reporter
Another year, another Big Ten basketball season is in the books and with the end of the season comes the end of the year awards. This season the name that tops the list is Michigan State junior guard Cassius Winston who was named the conference's Player of the Year on Monday.
Winston becomes the ninth Spartan to win the award, the most in the conference with Ohio State behind them at seven honorees. The last Spartan to bring the award home was Denzel Valentine who won it in the 2015-16 season.
The news comes on the heels of what was a terrific 2018-2019 campaign for the Spartan guard. In his junior season, Winston averaged 19 points, 3.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists while shooting 47 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range in 33 minutes per game.
He's now just one of the 18 Division 1 players to average 18 points and seven assists throughout the regular season, a list which includes Valentine. Winston is also the only player in the country to average 18 points, seven assists and shoot at least 40 percent from 3-point land.
Winston's play propelled the Spartans to a 25-6 overall record and a 16-4 record in the Big Ten, with Michigan State winning back to back Big Ten regular-season titles on Saturday night.
What set Winston apart from other candidates is how he performed when the Spartans lost guard Joshua Langford for the season and forward Nick Ward in the last five games of the regular season. Losing those two was a big loss for Michigan State as they accounted for 30 points per game combined.
Without both of them, Winston led a shorthanded team to a season sweep of in-state rival Michigan, one away at the Crisler Center and the other at home to clinch a share of the Big Ten title.
The junior guard was superb in both games, finishing with 27 points and 8 assists on 7-of-13 shooting in the first meeting and 23 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds on 7-of-17 shooting last Saturday. The second meeting decided who would earn a share of the Big Ten title with Purdue, and on the biggest stage, Winston shined bright.
Winston has been the key that starts the engine to this Michigan State team all season and now as a one-seed in this year's Big Ten Tournament, he'll look to guide the Spartans to a conference championship. Impact will have live coverage all weekend online @WDBMSports and on 88.9 FM in the Lansing area.
