It's August, and "Back-to-School" is steadily approaching (if it hasn't already happened in your area). What are some things that parents can do to help their kids transition smoothly into the school year? I asked Nina Fekaris (MS, BSN, RN, NCSN), president-elect of the National Association of School Nurses, for her best tips. Based on her 27+ years on the frontline as a school nurse (her full bio follows below), here are her top 4 tips for parents:
Tip #1: Reset Your Child's Clock
His or her internal clock, that is. Ms. Fekaris recommends being proactive and getting an early start to adjusting your child's bedtime. She advises shifting your child's bedtime in small increments -- say 15 minutes earlier each night. Ideally, by the time you're one week away from the start of school, your child is going to bed and waking up when s/he'll need to for school. When children are tired, it is challenging for them to perform at their best -- both cognitively and behaviorally.
Tip #2: Be Mindful of Your Child's Eating Schedule
Ms. Fekaris also suggests that parents see what time their child's lunch period will be during the school year, and to try to start giving them lunch at that time -- before the school year starts. "A child's lunch period could be anywhere from 10:50am to 1:10pm at my school," she says. "That's a huge range, and if a child is used to eating at different times, that could have a big impact on his or her school day." A disruption to children's eating schedule can make it hard for them to concentrate and behave well in class. Children often don't realize that they're unhappy or unfocused because they are hungry, and thus they need adults to help them remedy the situation.
She recommends that parents start "practicing" serving meals to their kids at the times they would eat during the school year. Then parents can also observe whether their child needs a snack to get through the morning or afternoon. "Parents can help by being proactive, especially in the younger grades, where lunchtime adjustment can be a big deal," says Ms. Fekaris.
Tip #3: Stay Up-to-Date on Immunizations
Parents should also make sure that their children are current on all their immunizations, says Ms. Fekaris. They can obtain a list of required immunizations from their child's school. Schools have experienced a revival of previously-suppressed illnesses, such as measles, in recent years.
What if a parent prefers not to have his or her child vaccinated? Focusing on making an informed, fact-based decision is important, says Ms. Fekaris. "Parents need to understand that if there's an outbreak, any non-immunized child may be quarantined to limit transmission and prevent the child from contracting the illness," she explains.
Tip #4: Know Your School's Attendance Policy
When is your child too sick to go to school? Your school's attendance policy and "too sick for school" policy are helpful guidelines for deciding whether to keep your child at home. "It's important for parents to feel comfortable about knowing when to send their kids to school," says Ms. Fekaris. If parents are unsure of their child's school attendance policy, they should check in with their school for the most up-to-date policy.
For additional back-to-school tips, take a look at NASN's "Back-to-School Checklist for Families."
In the next column in this series, I focus on the major health trends and issues -- and the impact on kids' learning -- that school nurses such as Ms. Fekaris are seeing from their posts at the frontlines of school health.
About Ms. Fekaris: Nina R. Fekaris, MS, BSN, RN, NCSN is the president-elect for the National Association of School Nurses (NASN). She became a Nationally Certified School Nurse in 2008 and was recognized as National School Nurse of the Year by NASN in 2009. She has been a practicing school nurse in the Beaverton School District in Beaverton, Oregon for the past 27 years. She works with students in all grade levels, supervises nurses who provide one-to-one care for medically fragile students and provides direct school nursing services to 4,000 students. Over the years, she has seen the dramatic rise in chronic and acute health conditions being diagnosed in children and the impact those conditions have on the child as they attend school. It is providing a "level playing field" for these students that has driven her advocacy efforts and inspired her to work at a national level. She believes by working together, we can reduce barriers and help improve academic achievement. Better Health. Better Learning.™

Theme 2: Magmatic and metamorphic systems
(Wolfgang Bach, Francois Holtz, Gerhard Wörner)
Session 2.1: Mass transfers in oceanic spreading centers
Christoph Beier (University of Erlangen), Jürgen Koepke (University of Hannover), Colin Devey (GEOMAR, Kiel), Wolfgang Bach (MARUM, Bremen)
Along 55,000 km of mid-ocean ridges and 11,000 km backarc spreading centers 20 cubic kilometers of new crust are formed annually, making oceanic spreading centers the geotectonic setting with the highest magma flux on Earth. Over 1000 hydrothermal vent fields are predicted to occur in this setting, which hosts several hundred million tons of polymetallic sulfide. In this session, we invite contributions concerning mechanisms of mantle melting and lithospheric accretion in oceanic spreading centers – from volcanically starved segments with oceanic core complexes to systems with excessive magma flux. We also welcome presentations of research addressing element transport in marine hydrothermal systems. Papers discussing magmatic-tectonic-hydrothermal linkages are particularly invited. Submissions can include work in modern ocean crust as well as in ophiolites.
Session 2.2: Intraplate volcanoes: evolution, processes and hazards
Christoph Breitkreuz (TU Freiberg), Andreas Klügel (University of Bremen), Thomas Walter (GFZ Potsdam)
Intraplate volcanism occurs over hot spots, rifts and strikeslip systems, and is widespread in both oceanic and continental settings. The surface expression ranges from small volcanic fields dominated by maars and scoria cones, to stratovolcanoes, calderas, seamounts, oceanic plateaus, and ocean islands, which form the largest volcanic edifices of our planet. Processes at intraplate volcanoes include eruptive and intrusive magmatism, interrupted by episodic and continuous erosion and landslides, all of which are complexly interacting with the environment; the details of these processes are hardly understood. Intraplate volcanoes also comprise almost the entire compositional spectrum known for volcanic rocks. The aim of this session is to bring together scientists working on the evolution of continental or oceanic intraplate volcanoes, their growth and decline, and interactions with the environment. The session seeks contributions from a wide field of geosciences, including but not limited to studies of the geological evolution, structural and tectonic analysis, chemical and petrological investigations, geophysical and remote sensing applications, and process modelling. Moreover, analysis of constructive and destructive processes at oceanic island volcanoes associated with sea level changes, and the related hazards, are welcome in this interdisciplinary session.
Session 2.3: Processes in layered mafic magma chambers and formation of associated ore deposits
Olivier Namur (University of Hannover), Kathrin Faak (Ruhr University Bochum), Robert Trumbull (GFZ Potsdam), Ilya Veksler (GFZ Potsdam)
Layered mafic intrusions such as Skaergaard, Stillwater and Bushveld have inspired the development of classic petrologic concepts of fractional crystallization and crystal sorting, but other processes including magma mixing, silicate liquid immiscibility and interaction with hydrous fluids clearly also play a role in their evolution. Among the most important features of layered mafic intrusions are the rich ore deposits of chromium, nickel and and platinum group elements (PGE) hosted within them. What combination of processes is needed to produce these world-class ore deposits?
This session welcomes contributions from studies of natural rocks and ores, experiments and numerical modelling that address these issues.
Session 2.4: Compositional evolution, dynamics and physical properties of Earth's mantle
Sergio Speziale (GFZ Potsdam), Andreas Stracke (University of Münster), Hauke Marquardt, Dan Frost (University of Bayreuth)
Our knowledge of the structure and composition of Earth's mantle has evolved considerably in the last decades. However, many questions are still open such as those regarding the global geochemical cycles that determine its compositional evolution, including the volatile elements, which also have a profound influence on its fluid dynamics, the origin of seismic patterns, especially those in the lowermost mantle, and how mineral physics affects the large scale properties of Earth's mantle. This session will explore the global geochemical cycles, the properties and behavior of geomaterials, and the global dynamics of Earth's interior. Contributions based on geochemical, isotopic, experimental, or computational data and geodynamic modeling are encouraged.
Session 2.5: Subduction zone magmatism and crustal evolution
Gerhard Wörner (University of Göttingen), Karsten Haase (University of Erlangen)
Subduction zone magmatism is a major player in the transfer and fractionation of elements between the mantle and the Earth's crust. New crust is formed from mantle melting and delamination processes and elements from the Earth's surface are recycled back into the mantle. Intra-crustal differentiation takes place in thickened crust regimes at active continental margins.
Several crucial questions should be addressed in our session: When did the "modern" plate tectonic subduction regime initiate? What controls differences in subduction and crust-formation processes at the Archean-Proterozoic transition? What are the processes, components and fluxes of fluid-mediated elemental transfer in modern subduction zones? What are the respective contributions of different geochemical components in arc magmas and how may these change in space and time. We invite contributions from all fields of geochemistry and geodynamics that will address these questions.
Session 2.6: High-resolution geochronology and isotope tracing of high-temperature geological processes
Winfried Schwarz (University of Heidelberg), Jörn-Frederik Wotzlaw (ETH Zürich, CH), Stefan Weyer (University of Hannover)
Unraveling the timescales of magmatic and metamorphic processes along with a thorough characterisation of geo-reservoirs is essential for a quantitative understanding of geodynamics. This session aims at bringing together scientists from all fields of geo- and thermochronology as well as high-temperature isotope geochemistry. We invite contributions addressing a wide range of questions employing state-of-the-art analytical techniques. These may include studies quantifying the timescales of magmatic processes, tracking the pace of metamorphic events and constraining the rates of crustal deformation and exhumation using radiometric geo- and thermochronological methods (e.g., U-Pb, U-Th, Ar-Ar, Lu-Hf, Sm-Nd) or isotopic zoning of magmatic and metamorphic minerals. We also invite contributions using radiogenic and stable isotopes as tracers of high-temperature processes, such as mixing of mantle reservoirs and mantle-crust interaction.
Session 2.7: Rates and timescales of magmatic and metamorphic processes
Sumit Chakraborty (University of Bochum), Horst Marschall (University of Frankfurt), Andreas Stracke (University of Münster)
Igneous and metamorphic processes in different tectonic settings, from the deep mantle to shallow volcanic reservoirs, are often linked, but operate on a range of timescales. For example, geochemical reservoirs in the mantle exist for billions of years, roots of mountains at subduction and collision zones evolve on timescales of several millions of years, associated volcanic and plutonic systems over several hundred thousand years, and processes within crustal magma reservoirs that ultimately lead to triggering of eruptions operate over decades, years, or even weeks. Processes such as fluid / melt flux in metamorphic - hydrothermal systems may span a range of these timescales, depending on the tectonic setting and the mode of fluid flow. A challenge for modern geochemistry and petrology is to determine these diverse rates and durations, to associate them with the correct physicochemical or mechanical processes, and to reveal how they are linked. We invite contributions that use the full spectrum of tools from isotope geochemistry, to crystal growth kinetics (CSD studies, tomography) and diffusion chronometry, to address these questions. Contributions dealing with development of relevant analytical (e.g. spatially resolved measurements of novel isotope fractionations) or modelling tools (e.g. multistage processes in diffusion chronometry), applications to specific settings, and discussion of specific aspects of debates (e.g. is UHT metamorphism a long- or a short-lived process?) are invited for this broad interdisciplinary session.

1 GHANA HIGH COMMISSIONER PRESENTS CREDENTIALS
The Republic of Ghana's new non-resident High Commissioner to Fiji, Her Excellency Mercy Debrah-Karikari, presented her credentials to His Excellency the President, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau.
The new High Commissioner, accompanied by her delegation, was officially welcomed to the country by the Head of State when she presented him her "Letter of Credence" at Government House this morning.
Prior to her current appointment, High Commissioner Debrah-Karikari worked as the Director Administration and Human Resources Bureau in Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
Ms Debrah-Karikari, who has spent her career in the Foreign Service, has served as Ghana's deputy head of mission in Berlin, Germany and as deputy permanent representative of Ghana to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
The high commissioner is based in Canberra, Australia.
2 MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENT AS FIJI LAUNCHES FIRST CHILD HELPLINE IN THE PACIFIC
As part of its commitment to protect and promote the rights of children, the Minister for Women Children and Poverty Alleviation Hon Rosy Akbar launched the 'National Child Helpline' program; a first for the Pacific region.
This latest development demonstrates the commitment by the Government and major stakeholders to address child abuse by making a free telephone line available to those who may want to report child abuse. The project, being the first of its kind in the Pacific, aims to provide a voice to children and young people who are in need of support, care and protection. This initiative is part of the Fijian Government's Child Protection Plan and will allow children to access this free helpline service by dialing 1325.
Government through the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation pursued this venture in partnership with Medical Services Pacific (MSP) and the three major telecommunications companies – Digicel, Vodafone and Telecom Fiji Limited who are involved in supplying the dedicated line.
The Minister Hon. Rosy Akbar highlighted the helpline was up and running and acknowledged the support of the telecommunications company in this project.
"The Child Helpline will assist our children to cope with negative effects of social media. It will provide an access point for all children in Fiji to seek counselling, advice, referrals to services and report abuse," Minister Akbar said. "This helpline will be entirely confidential and the callers will be able to speak to trained professional counsellors."
The MSP chief executive officer, Jennifer Poole said this launch shows the world that Fiji takes child protection seriously and people who see children at risk now have immediate access through the helpline.
3 PRESIDENT WELCOMES NEW SWEDISH ENVOY TO FIJI
His Excellency the President, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau today received the Letter of Credence from the new non-resident ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Fiji, His Excellency Pär Ahlberger.
The new envoy met with the Fijian head of State at Government House this morning where he presented his credentials.
Ambassador Ahlberger holds a degree in International Relations (IR) and Economics from the University of Stockholm and in IR from the Johns Hopkins University.
He has previously served as Sweden's Ambassador to Singapore and Brunei as well as deputy head of mission at the embassy in Beijing, China.
Mr Ahlberger is based in Australia and is also accredited to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu Kiribati, Tonga, Nauru and Tuvalu.
4 LABASA MILL PROGRESSING WELL, READY FOR CANE SEASON
The Labasa sugar mill is progressing well with maintenance works expected to be completed by the end of this month before the beginning of the cane season later in June.
Fiji Sugar Corporation general manager Northern division Christopher Karia said the Labasa mill has never been under the microscope before regarding maintenance failure and they intend to keep it this way.
"From the last two years the farmers are becoming more confident now of the mill. It has become reliable and more efficient and we will continue with the trend," Mr Karia said.
Mr Karia said the number of assistance also provided by Government has boosted the industry a lot with the farmers also benefiting.
"We are continuing to do our best especially in focusing in all the necessary details of the mill," he said.
He highlighted that they were also looking at bigger projects in order to keep improving and maintaining the best results for sugar production in the country.
Mr Karia has called on all sugarcane farmers to make use of Government's assistance and they look forward to a productive season.
5 Rural roads review to maintain consistency
Government will soon undertake a review of all rural roads to ensure consistency in the maintenance of roads.
This is to ensure that better access is provided to communities living in the most rural of places such as the highlands and also the maritime islands across in the country.
The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Hon. Pio Tikoduadua made the announcement during his tour of the Navosa highlands this week.
"It is a major review that we will undertake because in the past, rural roads have been made to a standard for 4 – wheel vehicles and it is not specifically specified what types of vehicles," he said.
"What we will do is to ensure that all roads leading to communities are (Rural Service License (RSL) standard and not 4 – wheel standard which use to happen in the past and 4 – wheel standard roads will be farm roads not roads that lead to a village or community."
RSL standard would mean all roads leading to villages and communities would be raised so that people are able to access them on mini – vans, 3 tonne or even 4 tonne carriers.
Hon. Tikoduadua visited a few major roads in the highlands of Navosa and noted the appalling state of roads in some parts along Draubuta, Nakoro, Korovou Namatewale and other village roads.
Fiji Roads Authority representative and MWH Area Manager Braeden Lobb said work on the roads would begin next month.
"We will send a grader and a few other machines up here from May as the dry season starts to be able to bring it up to a standard where it the road can hold for RSL vehicles," Mr Lobb said.

Tristram Hunt – 2010 Maiden Speech in the House of Commons
Below is the text of the maiden speech made by Tristram Hunt, the Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central, in the House of Commons on 6 July 2010.
It is a great privilege to be called in this important debate to make my maiden speech and to be the first to congratulate the hon. Member for Harrow East (Bob Blackman) on his wonderful maiden speech, his description of the multicultural Mecca of Harrow and his generous comments about his predecessor, Tony McNulty, which many Labour Members share. Let me pay my tribute to my esteemed predecessor, Mark Fisher, who sat in the House for 27 years and conscientiously, effectively and passionately represented the interests of Stoke-on-Trent Central.
Mark's connections to the Potteries began, improbably enough, when he was writing film scripts in Staffordshire Moorlands—an ambitious venture at the best of times in California, even more so in the Roaches of north Staffordshire. He then stood for Staffordshire Moorlands and was selected to succeed Bob Cant in Stoke-on-Trent—all the while as an old Etonian son of a Tory MP. People in the Potteries are, as I have discovered, enormously forgiving of one's past.
Mark's maiden speech to the House in 1983 was a heartfelt lament at the state of the national health service in north Staffordshire owing to sustained underfunding. He spoke of old buildings, outdated operating theatres, waiting lists for general and orthopaedic surgery of more than 12 months. Now, after 13 years of good Labour Government, that decline has been reversed and Stoke-on-Trent has a brand new £370 million university teaching hospital, springing up around the old City General—it is the first new hospital for 130 years. In addition, we have new GP surgeries, walk-in centres and marked improvements in public health.
Mark was also highly active in the House, working closely with Tony Wright on reforms to the workings of Parliament, the all-party parliamentary history group, which, in a different incarnation, I once had the pleasure to address and was mildly surprised at the intimate knowledge of the right hon. Member for Hitchin and Harpenden (Mr Lilley) of dialectical materialism and the life of Friedrich Engels.
Mark also made a contribution to the management of the art collection in the palace. He was, indeed, an Arts Minister in 1997 and formed part of the heroic team in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport that delivered a great Labour pledge of free entry to Britain's museums for the people of Britain. As his successor, I will be watching closely the incoming Administration's commitment to honour that pledge. It is now my great privilege to take up his place in Parliament.
In an excellent maiden speech, my hon. Friend the Member for Derby North (Chris Williamson) made an ambitious play for his city being the birthplace of the industrial revolution. While I am a deep admirer of the Derby silk mill and the Derby arboretum, and even the Derwent valley, we all know that the historic, earth-shattering event—the dawn of modernity, the dawn of industrialisation—began in my constituency with the opening of Josiah Wedgwood's factory in Etruria, near Shelton, in 1769. Since the 1770s, Stoke-on-Trent has become the premier global brand-name for ceramics.
In a recent programme of his excellent series "A History of the World in 100 Objects", British Museum director Neil MacGregor described the fact that
"human history is told and written in pots… more than in anything else."
He went on to quote Robert Browning:
"Time's wheel runs back or stops; potter and clay endure."
At the heart of the English enlightenment, and indeed global civilisation, Stoke-on-Trent makes its place in history, but out of the six towns has emerged more than just pottery—from the rise of primitive Methodism to the works of Arnold Bennett, from the football of Stanley Matthews to the lyricism of Robbie Williams and the social justice politics of Jack Ashley.
The area has also faced profound challenges, and to be frank, globalisation has knocked the north Staffs economy sideways. Cheap labour in east Asia sparked a freefall in ceramics employment, the steel industry could not compete with China or India, and Michael Heseltine did for the last of our coal mines.
This process of economic dislocation—when "All That Is Solid Melts Into Air"— has by no means ended, but there are signs of hope. A vibrant university quarter is springing up around Staffordshire university. Onshoring is seeing the return of ceramics jobs to Stoke-on-Trent, while a new generation of designer-makers, led by the likes of Emma Bridgewater, are creating high-value, high-design, locally rooted companies. The Portmeirion business, which produces the iconic Spode designs, is successfully growing from its Stoke base, exporting to Europe, America and South Korea.
However, we have much to do in rebuilding our engineering supply chain, raising skills levels across the constituency and exploiting the human capital of Stoke-on-Trent. While we welcome the Government's commitment to rebalancing the British economy, perhaps the best way to do that is not to begin by cutting the regional development agency funds or the Building Schools for the Future programme.
My seat is an old if not ancient one. It has a proud pedigree. Born of the Great Reform Act of 1832, of which the Deputy Prime Minister is now such a student, it was first represented in this place by Josiah Wedgwood, the son of the potter. Wedgwood was a liberal—in the proper sense of the word. Like his father, he was committed to the abolitionist cause and was a stalwart of the anti-slavery movement. It was a great pleasure to have seen that spirit reawaken in the general election this year as my constituents sent the racist, reactionary and frequently criminal British National party packing.
However, Stoke-on-Trent also knows that change has to be matched with continuity, and my constituents share a deep apprehension over the Government's ill-thought-out plans for constitutional reform. They want to know that when a Government fail to win a vote of confidence, Parliament can be dissolved by 50% plus one vote, rather than the absurdity of the 55% self-protecting ordinance.
Then we come to the five-year Parliament—again, a retrospective, constitutional fix to get this Government through some muddy waters, and that is before we get on to flooding of the House of Lords with new Members, redrawing the boundaries, leaving 3.2 million voters off the register and underfunding the individual registration scheme. However, my hon. Friends and I will come back to those issues in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I simply thank the House for the indulgence of this, my maiden speech, on the Gracious Speech.

Diversified Graphtec GB announces entry into graphics laminating sector
Renowned for the wide range of high-performance digital cutting solutions supplied primarily to the sign and graphics, digital printing/finishing, print wear and promotional products, packaging and labelling sectors, Graphtec GB has highlighted its propensity for product diversification by adding the latest L300 Laminator from WID Innovations to its expanding portfolio.
This follows the new partnership forged with the Portugal-based company whereby Graphtec GB is now the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for the L300 Laminator and the soon to be announced C Series of Laser Cutting machines, both of which will be available through the company's network of authorised resellers.
The L300 can be used for both thermal and cold laminating applications to accommodate different production requirements and media preferences. Using the machine for cold lamination, power consumption is reduced and the need for special operational skills and closer consideration of environmental issues less critical than for thermal lamination and with operating costs commensurately lower as a result. Conversely, when used for thermal lamination the L300 will impart greater strength and durability to laminated output, leading to enhanced protection against environmental impact and product degradation and the ability to solve problems of possible warping or shifting of the laminate film during application more easily and quickly.
Capable of handling a wide range of different substrates in thicknesses of up to 25mm and at a speed of up to 3.5 metres/minute, the L300 has dimensions of 201cm (width) x 65cm (depth) x 135cm (height) and an electrical power requirement of 220V 16A. Main design features include twin silicon 130mm-diameter laminating rollers, pneumatic roller elevation and pressure/tensioning systems, a compressor and an operating mode facility to enable both automatic and manual laminating.
"Since the COVID-19 pandemic the L300 has already proved to be a preferred laminating solution for many companies producing new health and safety-related signage, graphics and markings now required, invariably on-demand, for multiple industrial, commercial and healthcare settings."

By NASCAR rules, if the first two stages of a race are complete, the race is official. With about 40 to go, Bowyer almost caught him, but Truex never let him pass, and finally Bowyer relinquished the second spot to Logano, who seemed to have the faster auto of the top two. The front-row of Saturday's starting grid has changed, though, as the provisional second-place starter, the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Erik Jones, failed its first time through inspection. As for the TV channel, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to FOX, the network's flagship channel, for the Richmond race after last week's race on FS1. Below is all the info you need regarding how to watch the race. The 7:30 p.m. ET start time is the traditional start time for NASCAR Cup Series night races this season (with a few exceptions).
Saturday Night Thunder has always been absent as late night entertainment on ESPN.
XFINITY: In Richmond, Virgina, Cole Custer was openly hoping for rain to shorten the NASCAR Xfinity race at Richmond Raceway. Easier said than done, of course. It's the fifth stage victory of the season for Busch, who is trying for his third straight victory on the 0.75-mile, D-shaped oval. Nobody has done that at Richmond since Bobby Allison won three consecutive races in 1982-83.
Kevin Harvick started from the pole in the NASCAR race at Richmond Raceway, but the field was jumbled considerably. With those drivers moving to the back, Kyle Larson, who was 14th in the second round of qualifying Friday moves into the top-10 for Saturday's green flag. He also extended his current Top-10 streak to seven races. The silver lining for Larson: He leads all active Cup drivers in average starting position at Richmond (8.5). Leader Kyle Busch was penalized for speeding on pit road and sent back to the 24th position.
Harvick has three career wins at Richmond, and no active driver has more Cup Series starts at the track than he does (36; tied with Kurt Busch).

The 1982 Consent Decree between AT&T and the United States Department of Justice, which was followed by the 1984 Modified Final Judgment (MFJ), divested Bell Telephone ("Ma Bell") of it regional Bell Operating Telephone Companies. This decree provided the consumer with the widest range and most competitively priced telecommunications services in the world. Unfortunately, this telecommunications divesture has failed to spread any good news about the monthly telephone long distance phone bills the consumer receives. Consumers find it extremely difficult to locate straightforward information on pricing alone. Add to that the excessive charges of PICC, USF, and Taxes and you have one confusing mess. As a final disservice to the customer, today's giant telecommunications companies appear to have adopted the "baffle-them-with-misinformation" approach to answering their customers' questions and concerns.
Before forming our company In 1999, the principals of Union Worker Communications decided to help resolve the many questions that exist, even today, concerning the complex and often confusing telecommunications industry. Union Worker Communications would become a single source to use by Union business offices and Union workers in their quest to clear up their telecom confusion, to easily find information about Union Worker Communications' premier long distance service, and to offer a simple, single best rate plan without having to sort through a myriad of different rate plans offered by other carriers that are always way too complex, way too confusing, and way too expensive.
As such, Union Worker Communications has been providing high quality, state-of-the-art, leading edge, competitive telecommunications services to Union business offices and Union workers since its inception.
Since each long distance carrier is able to set their own rates, they will often set rates extremely low, and then make their margins on excessive fees, minimum use rates and extra charges, to lure the customer into initially thinking they are getting a great deal. When the surprise hits after the long distance bill is received, its too late.
Union Worker Communications, through its services that it offers on a simple, single rate basis for long distance telephone calls, is an international telecommunications broker that provides phone services around the world at a fraction of what you may currently pay. With Union Worker Communications, you have the freedom to make calls from almost any country to anywhere in the world for very competitive rates, with a simple to understand and simple to use plan. A Union residential customer or a Union business office can take control of their long distance costs and bypass the expensive rates charged by the local telephone company service providers.
The telecommunication monopolies that existed in many countries for many, many years, has created a rapidly changing and growing telecom market. Open competition in the United States because of the deregulation of the telephone long distance industry has resulted in long distance telephone rates being reduced by as much as 70%. Similar reductions are taking place in international long distance. Wherever rates are being reduced, you can rely on Union Worker Communications to pass along the savings it realizes on these reductions, directly to UWC's Union customers.
Always provide a clear understanding for our Union customers' questions and concerns.
Provide the highest quality of global telecommunication services available.
Provide competitive rates for the services we provide.
Be a source for helping our base of loyal Union customers to untangling the confusion and misinformation about the telecommunications industry.
To be driven by what our Union customers need and want.
The communications revolution has only just begun. Over the next few years we can expect enormous changes in technologies, rates and services. You can count on Union Worker Communications to be your telecommunications partner, at the forefront of the industry, as these new technologies materialize.

Urban agriculture, according to most definitions, is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city. That locational aspect is crucial to distinguishing urban agriculture from generic agriculture, which most people associate with taking place in rural areas. Urban agriculture projects include: community gardens established on vacant land that's cultivated and maintained within an urban neighborhood; school gardens cultivated and maintained on school grounds, and factor into the curriculum; entrepreneurial gardens that grow produce and flowers for profit; backyard gardens, windowsill gardens, and rooftop gardens that provide vegetables, herbs, and flowers to individuals and/or small families.
The growth of community gardens, educational farms, school greenhouses, college plots, backyard growers, rooftop gardens and container operations in urban areas of the US indicates the current breadth of interest in producing food by city residents. Such a flowering has not been seen in many years. The history of agriculture in cities, however, goes back thousands of years and may surprise some readers. We have traced that history here.
Urban agriculture is a broad topic with a range of issues. Here, the focus is on how farmers get and hold land for commercial farming in urban areas. An "urban area" is typically a densely built environment. Most urban areas are within city boundaries, but cities can include more suburban settings with significant open spaces. For example, Urban Edge Farm (UEF) is within the City of Cranston, Rhode Island. It occupies 20 acres, surrounded by scattered rural residences. While farms like UEF are subject to city ordinances, many of the other issues discussed here would not apply to UEF.
It is not surprising, to anyone who reflects on the matter, that the Ocean State should have the most expensive land prices in the country. Averaging $13,800 per acre, Rhode Island is comfortably ahead of New Jersey's $13,000 average price.
Much of the state is either on or within sight of the ocean, driving up prices. Urbanization is also strong there. It shares with only one state, again New Jersey, the distinction of having more than 1000 residents per square mile. And only New Jersey and the District of Columbia equal its percentage of area in metropolitan districts — 100%.

Rafael Sánchez Ventura (Zaragoza, 24 de octubre de 1897 - Lisboa, 1980) fue un Doctor en Filosofía y Letras, profesor universitario, museógrafo, investigador y diplomático español.

Biografía

Rafael Sánchez Ventura nació el 24 de octubre de 1897 en Zaragoza, hijo de Mariano Sánchez Gastón y María Ventura. Se licenció en Filosofía y Letras en 1921, obteniendo el Doctorado en 1926, y ejerciendo de profesor en la Universidad de Zaragoza entre 1928 y 1929. Como miembro de la Residencia de Estudiantes, trabó amistad con algunos de sus más ilustres miembros, como Salvador Dalí, Pepín Bello o Federico García Lorca. Este último le dedicaría una de las composiciones de Poeta en Nueva York y lo describiría como «San Rafael Sánchez Ventura, / poeta angélico de la rebelión celestial / y terrenal, campeón incansable y arrebatado / de la injusticia absoluta, su amarga dulcinea». En la Residencia de Estudiantes nacería, posiblemente, su interés por los movimientos artísticos de vanguardia, de los que sería privilegiado testigo y en ocasiones partícipe. Su única incursión en el mundo del cine la hizo de la mano de su amigo Luis Buñuel, en la película, de gran trasfondo social, Las Hurdes, tierra sin pan, donde fue coguionista y ayudante de dirección.

Pero la que fue, probablemente, su aportación más importante al mundo del arte la hizo como "redescubridor" del conjunto de iglesias románico-mozárabes del Serrablo, en el Pirineo aragonés, cerca de Sabiñánigo, donde la familia de Sánchez Ventura poseía una finca de veraneo. Se puede decir que fue un hallazgo prodigioso por tratarse de un raro conjunto homogéneo que parece resistente a la oleada románica lombarda que invade el Pirineo desde la primera mitad del siglo XI.  De estas investigaciones resultará el artículo, escrito con el arquitecto Francisco Íñiguez, "Un grupo de Iglesias del Alto Aragón", publicado en la revista Archivo Español de Arte y Arqueología .

En 1933 participó como profesor, en la expedición conocida como crucero universitario por el Mediterráneo organizado por Manuel García Morente y secundado por Fernando de los Ríos. Viaje de estudios que, durante el verano de dicho año realizaron cerca de doscientas personas entre catedráticos, profesores universitarios, alumnos de diversas facultades y organizadores (entre ellos profesores relevantes y alumnos que posteriormente serían primeras figuras de la vida cultural, artística y creadora de la sociedad española). El buque se llamaba "Ciudad de Cádiz" y recorrió durante cuarenta y ocho días los principales yacimientos arqueológicos del Mediterráneo y recorrió Túnez, Malta, Egipto, Creta, Chipre, Palestina, Turquía, Grecia, Sicilia e Italia.

Fue asimismo un destacado activista anarco-comunista, en contraposición a su hermano José María, diputado de la CEDA y alcalde de Zaragoza entre los años 46 y 49. Colaboró con la Sublevación de Jaca y ayudó a exiliarse al pintor aragonés Ramón Acín, involucrado en dicha sublevación. Fue asimismo cofundador de la Alianza de Intelectuales Antifascistas

Durante la Guerra Civil Española, organizó actividades de reclutamiento en pro de la República, y ostentó diversos cargos en este bando: perteneció a la Junta Nacional de Protección del Tesoro Artístico Español y fue jefe de la sección de Europa en el Ministerio de Estado y secretario de la Embajada española en París. Asimismo, fue el representante del gobierno de la República en el entierro del poeta Antonio Machado en Collioure.
Poco después, ya en la II Guerra Mundial, antes de partir al exilio en México, consiguió rescatar de la ciudad de París, que iba a ser tomada inminentemente por el III Reich, el material fotográfico de su amigo Robert Capa sobre la Guerra Civil, de extraordinario valor histórico y artístico.

Falleció en Lisboa en 1980.

Water heaters are a convenience that most people readily accept, but few folks actually agree on the best way to provide heated water. The typical supply method is a storage tank used to hold water kept at a specific temperature. Unfortunately, this system is not the most efficient even though it is one of the most common. A practical alternative is the tankless or flash water heater. This system comes in multiple sizes that range from a single room unit to those that supply enough hot water for a whole home. The only real drawback is the occasional need for tankless water heater repair in Anacortes WA.
Standalone water heaters function by being close to the supply outlet. This allows them to heat the liquid slightly less since there is only a little pipe for it to flow through. They function by passing smaller amounts of H2O through a small chamber in the heating unit. These components are typically copper or brass because both transfer heat quickly without losing much in the process.
The standalone system is perfect for small spaces or homes that only require hot water in one or two places. They can also function as a supplement when the current water heating system cannot provide enough hot water to meet demand. Consider the case where the homeowner wishes to take a long hot soak. If the water heater is under-powered, there won't be enough hot water to fill the tub. A room based, tankless system can easily provide the extra hot water. This actually extends the service life of the original water heater and reduces the need for Tankless Water Heater Repair in Anacortes WA.
A whole home tankless system usually requires some extra effort when replacing an older system. The reason is simple. People are used to a steady supply of hot water, however, if the tankless system cannot keep up with the demand, then the result may be less than pleasing. To ensure the system meets the demand, calculate the amount of hot water that will be used during peak times. One example is the kids getting home from school and requiring a bath while the mom or dad are washing their clothes. If unusual demands are more frequent that imagined, go for the next size up. Contact Alpine Heating & Cooling for more information.

A government-appointed panel has recommended one window solution in cases of intercountry removal and retention of children, an official statement said on Monday.
The Committee, headed by Justice Rajesh Bindal of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, submitted its report on legal issues related to these two issues, recommending addressing the problems of parents and children involved.
The Committee has recommended that the Government may establish an 'Inter-Country Parental Child Removal Disputes Resolution Authority'.
The Authority may be chaired by a retired High Court Judge, with Members from Legal and Social sector background along with representatives from key Ministries.
The authority has been envisaged to provide a one window solution in cases of intercountry removal and retention of Children.
The Authority may examine the inter-country cases of removal and retention of children vis-a-vis the cultural context, the merit of the case, and the best interest of the Child.
Over three crore Indians living abroad have cross-border marriages. When such a diverse family unit breaks down, children suffer as they are dragged into an international legal battle between their parents. Inter-spousal child removal is one of the most unfortunate outcomes of such breakups. Children are "abducted" by one parent and taken to a country with a different culture. This can be traumatic as they are also cut off from the other parent.
The Protection of Children (Inter-Country Removal and Retention) Bill, 2016 seeks to address the issue. The Bill is in consonance with the principles of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, 1980, which seeks to protect a child from the harmful effect of wrongful removal and secure prompt return and reintegration of the child in an environment of his/her 'habitual residence'.
The Bill defines 'wrongful removal or retention' as an act in breach of custody to a person or an institution or any other body under the law of the country in which the child was habitually resident immediately before the removal or retention. The law will be applicable to those wrongfully removed or retained children in India who have not completed 16 years.
The Bill recommends the setting up of a Central Authority tasked with discovering the whereabouts of the child. The Authority will further act to prevent harm to the child, secure the voluntary return of the child to his or her habitual residence, exchange information relating to the child with the appropriate authorities of the contracting state, institute judicial proceedings in the High Court concerned to secure the return of the child, provide free legal aid advice, and make administrative arrangements for the return of the child.
The court can order the return of a child who has been wrongfully removed or retained in India and if a period of one year has not elapsed from the date of removal or retention. However, the one-year cap is not final. The court can order return if it is established that the child is not settled in his/her new environment. It can refuse to order return if returning would expose the child to harm or if the child, on attaining an age and level of maturity, refuses to go back, among other conditions.
The Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty whereby the contracting states will have to cooperate with each other in expeditiously sending back the runaway parent and the child to the country of the child's 'habitual residence'.

Q: Alfresco: Checking in documents checked-out at some previous point in time (and left hanging) I'm currently working on a project that was started by another company. They created some CMIS connector and it is currently being used to store documents inside Alfresco. We don't have the source for that connector/component. Things turned sour between the client and provider, and it's been an uphill battle to get the code that we do have.
As it turns out, every once in a while a document update will fail because the file has already been check-out and is currently locked. Considering there are no users inside the alfresco server (it's all done via the web service), we believe at some point it's silently crashing and leaving documents checked-out indefinitely. I'm assuming the problem is on the app we are managing. It could be that the problem is caused by Alfresco.
The function that we've found failing to update the document -- not the one that leaves it checked-out, but the one that fails because of it -- is this:
cmisHelper.checkIn(cmisHelper.checkOut(cr.getId()), "Update", null, docBytes, mimeType);

cr.getId() has the document id. The check-out fails for obvious reasons.
Is there any way to check-in a document that may have been check-out by another session? That custom-made cmisHelper class doesn't seem to have anything that would relate to an unlock. Documentation is, as you can guess, missing in action.
Something else I considered was soem option in alfresco that would automatically checkin "expired" checkouts. But I haven't found such an option.
thanks

A: There's no timeout of working copies, and checked out documents can stay in that state as long as the user leaves it that way. You first need a way to identify which working copies are expired, possibly introducing the concept of a checkout timeout yourself.
E.g. let's say you're going to tell the users that the operation which translates in an Alfresco checkout has to complete in one hour. Then you can configure a cron job to run every hor that can run a script like the following:
var nodes = search.query("ASPECT:\"cm:workingcopy\" AND @cm\:created:\$\{luceneDateRange(today, \"-P1H\")\}");
for each (n in nodes) {
  n.remove();
}

This is a rewrite of the forminput example from Wicket. It should demonstrate that you need a lot less Wicket code to achieve the same results in invesdwin-NoWicket. To be specific, the Wicket example has 584 lines of java code, while this example has only 314 lines of java code, not counting the HTML files which are mostly generated here (measured with sloccount at the time of writing this example). Also instead of using a table-layout, we transformed it into a nicer bootstrap-grid-layout for which the HTML was mostly generated and we just had to move things around and modify it a little bit. We also added functionality to check for dirty on the reset button and show a warning dialog that needs to be confirmed (there is also a junit test for this, see FormInputTest.java). Regarding internationalization, we go a bit further than the Wicket example by showing you how to use GuiService.i18n() in models, wicket:message in the HTML and how to use properties for enum constants despite the usual label properties demonstrated by Wicket.

*For the same records, get the number of gateways (number of elements in the gateways object). It's not an array and I can't change that.

Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.

A: Check if this solution meets your requirements:
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $match: {
      "record.type": "MX_GTI",
      "record.products": "DAM"
    }

Welcome To Stone Lakes Elementary School! Where Eagles SOAR!
Stone Lakes is an outstanding school, with a dedicated group of teachers and staff, who support all the students each day.
We are a proud school with many opportunities to help our student achieve both in school and as community members.
From our extra-curricular activities ranging from academic focused, sports, arts, and STEM, there is something for every student to participate in.
We truly understand what it takes to make everyday count.


1 month back, we've sent some gifts for Chobi and the family whom care about Chobi at the present.
For us, every June is "Month of Chobi" since 2012, by reason of June is a month when we've started to become buddy with Chobi each other.
This year, we can not come Chobi's place directly. So, we tried to send gifts by EMS from Japan to India, where Chobi is there.
May Chobi is always fine and be in safety.
We always always miss her from the bottom of our heart.

Rita Epstein
Rita began teaching in the public school system in the late 1960s. She was a lead teacher in a school where no student was older than 8 years old, taught multi-graded classes, classes of over 25 students, and inner city groups. She has taught all grades from early intervention pre-kindergarten through remedial seventh grade English, as well as some High School courses. She has taught academically gifted classes in addition to classes with a variety of ability levels as well as guest lectured in local college classrooms. Her post graduate work is in Administration, Business, and Gifted Education. She was part of a consortium in the mid 1980's formed to create gifted programming in the U.S. Virgin Islands where she lived and taught for a number of years. She had traveled to the islands on her sailboat, on a journey that took 15 days and nights through the Atlantic Ocean and heavy storms. While there she became a licensed charter boat captain, lived on her sailboat, "The Dulcinea," and was active in 4-H Sailing Programs. She was a district coordinator for Gifted Education on Long Island, has been a consultant over the years to establish gifted programming in schools, and was the District Coordinator in Newburgh for Academically Gifted Students as well. She has studied Infant and Toddler education and has been trained in Preschool education and development. She has and continues to be involved with special education and has served as an advocate in the system for over 45 years. She was involved in mainstreaming and inclusion in the early 1970's before it was fashionable. She served as the private school representative on the Newburgh Teachers' Center Policy Board and is presently the site director for the Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program at Windsor Academy. Rita is a member of MENSA, a graduate of Leadership Orange, is included in "Who's Who of American Educators", is on the Board of Directors for Zylofone - a performing arts center for disabled children and adults, has been active as a community member on various committees for the New York State Department of Health in Albany, and is the proud mother of a son , Nathan Rosenblum who is a journalist and who has his PhD in Philosophy. When not working, Rita is involved in long distance road biking, playing the cello and has begun watercolor painting. Rita loves to travel and has recently spent time in Italy, Greece and her beloved Caribbean. She began the elementary school program at Windsor Academy in 1996, became a partner in 1998. In 2003, she became the sole owner and director. Recently, she has appointed a new director but remains active on site as the owner of the business and building. Rita's goal is to create an environment that celebrates and respects every child's needs and abilities and helps foster a sense of joy and pride and self-confidence for all of the students at Windsor Academy.

Q: Detecting stream data corruption I have a server which is sending/receiving data from multiple clients, each attached to a separate server thread. This data is being sent via DataInputStreams and DataOutputStreams and consists currently entirely of strings. I would like to send int-based signals to indicate that client behavior should change, but that data is also currently sent in stringized format.
From what I understand currently, TCP will automatically resend any dropped packets, but I also want to be able to handle data corruption. If I call, say, DataOutputStream.writeUTF() to send a message from a client to the server, what if any checksum detection is done behind the scenes to make sure the full message was transmitted properly? And how would I detect problems?
Would, say, catching an IOException in the server code for the DataInputStream and manually asking the client to resend the message (which should therefore be ID-stamped somehow) be a proper way of handling this situation?

Southeastern Community College-Whiteville (18-16, 12-5) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 3 4 1
Catawba Valley Community College (24-15, 10-7) 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 6 1
HICKORY, N.C. — Despite a dominating performance from starting pitcher Trae Starnes, the 20th-ranked Catawba Valley Community College baseball team fell victim to a late game home run in a 3-1 loss to conference foe Southeastern on Sunday afternoon at Henkel-Alley Field.
With the defeat, the Red Hawks fall to 24-15 overall and 10-7 in Region X games.
A left-hander sophomore from Taylorsville, N.C., Starnes had one of the best outings of his CVCC career on Sunday.
In his seven-inning performance, Starnes allowed just three hits, two walks and struck out 14 batters — the second-straight day that a Red Hawks starting pitcher tied the program mark for strikeouts in a single game (Blake Dockery struck out 14 batters for the second time this season during the first game of the three-game set on Saturday).
Despite Starnes' stout performance on the mound, Catawba Valley batters struggled to give him a lead, stranding 12 total base runners in Sunday's series finale.
Even with that adversity, the Red Hawks would be the first team to break through offensively, scoring in the bottom of the sixth inning when center fielder Rod Munoz reached base on an error, allowing third baseman Grant Tilley, who had drawn a walk earlier in the frame, to score.
Starnes exited with the lead following the seventh inning, and the Rams fought back in the eighth inning against Red Hawk reliever Timothy Davila.
Southeastern would get its first two batters on base in the eighth inning when left fielder Ted McNeill drew a walk and shortstop A.J. Brooks was hit by a pitch.
During the next at bat, a ground ball by first baseman Gage Hammonds led to a double play, putting CVCC in position to get out of the inning unscathed.
However, the fourth Rams batter of the inning — catcher Riley Cameron — was intentionally walked, setting the stage for the go-ahead three-run home run by Rams right fielder Trent McKay to deep left center field.
CVCC would attempt to answer back from its two-run deficit, but could only get two runners on base during the final two innings — both coming in the bottom of the eighth inning.
The Catawba Valley Community College baseball team attempts to bounce back on Wednesday when it returns to action at home doubleheader against USC Lancaster. First pitch between the Red Hawks and Lancers is set for 5 p.m.


French Riviera holiday villa rental – Newly refurbished to the highest standards, Pierres et Pins is a delightful family villa, ideally situated on the hills facing the Bay of La Ciotat, along the stretch of coast between Saint-Cyr-sur- Mer and Cassis. Thanks to its layout where all the rooms are arranged over one floor, this villa lends itself to easy and comfortable living with very large open-plan spaces full of light, and sliding doors to access the extensive teak terrace. Sail canopies and tall pine trees provide pleasant shade over the outdoor seating and dining areas, where guests can enjoy al fresco dinners and spectacular sea views. A holiday at this villa is particularly recommended for sea lovers who will have the opportunity to explore Cassis and its amazing Mediterranean coastline, known as Les Calanques. Striking views can be enjoyed from the clifftops overhanging deep narrow creeks, which hide charming coves and secluded beaches. Cassis Bay is a great place for snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing, while the old port of Cassis bustles with fishing boats, visitors, shops and excellent seafood restaurants serving the catch of the day. Nearby Bandol is a charming town, known as the Ville Tranquille and, a little further along the coast, Sanary-sur-Mer has a fabulous, bustling promenade lined with cafes and a colourful harbour.


When Swift was introduced, it introduced not just a new programming language, but a number of new techniques. One of the most powerful Swift language feature is the ability to write code in more functional style. I took some time to learn functional programming at the end of 2015 so I can write better Swift code. Although Swift can be written with functional programming in mind, Swift probably can not be a full fledged functional language in iOS development because it will, most of the time, have side effects.
Swift's immutability is terrible according to some of the developers in the community. This is because some of Swift's immutable state can be changed. This seems contradictory to what immutable means but in functional programming, rather than mutating the state of objects, we simply return a new object with the changes we want. So, instead of thinking changes as mutations, think of them as creating and returning a new object. Take note that properties of an immutable class can be changed. According to the Swift Programming Language, the properties of constant structs are constants but constant classes can have mutable properties.
The class property name is a variable that is initialised when init is called.
The struct property name is a variable that is initialised when init is called.
Working with struct on the other hand returns an error Cannot assign to property: 'theStruct' is a 'let' constant. Constant struct, unchangeable property.
All other functions are first-order functions. Other programmers already used higher-order functions without them knowing by returning a function as result. With Swift, however, you can use functions as function arguments.
What we did here is we created a function called twice that accepts two arguments f and xs, f is a function and xs is a list of integer and returns an integer as a result, and another function called sum that accepts a list of integer called xs and returns an integer as a result. sum will take the given list of integer and sum all numbers. twice is self explanatory, it doubles the value of the given function and argument. If you look closely at f's type, [Int] -> Int, this means that twice accepts a function that accepts a list of number and returns an integer. Making sum as twice's first argument value became possible because sum conforms to the argument's type. reduce is another form of a higher-order function. The reduce function solves the problem of combining the elements of the list to a single value. In the code above, we used the + (plus) operator (many programming languages uses + as an addition operator) as the function to combine and initial value of 0. Our code should produce 30 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) * 2.
There's a chance you already heard or read about currying inside the Swift community who have a more functional-minded thinking. Currying is a feature found in most modern programming languages. It translates a single function with multiple arguments into a series of functions each with one argument.
If you haven't wrote a function that utilises any of the concepts above, then, congratulations! 🎊🎉 To actually see the functional paradigm in Swift work, we will write a simple program that will utilise some functional paradigm.
From the rightmost digit, which is the check digit, moving left, double the value of every second digit; if the product of this doubling operation is greater than 9 (e.g., 8 × 2 = 16), then sum the digits of the products (e.g., 16: 1 + 6 = 7, 18: 1 + 8 = 9) or alternatively subtract 9 from the product (e.g., 16: 16 – 9 = 7, 18: 18 – 9 = 9).
And that's it, we now have a working copy of a credit card validator in Swift using some functional programming techniques. Congratulations, again! 🎊🎉 First function of the Int extension is toDigits(), it extends the Int type that will convert an Int to an array of Int. First code is guard to check if the value is greater than 9, if not then return self inside an array. After that, it uses the power of recursion by splitting the value then divide by 10 until the value is less than 10. Second function of the Int extension is isMultipleOf(), it extends the Int type that will check if the value is divisible by 10. Third function of the Int extension is isValid(), it checks the credit card number if valid by using all functions we wrote. Next we wrote an extension of SequenceType that will accept an element of type Int. First function of the extension is doubleSecond() that will double the value by enumerating all values and mapping it by selecting every second digit. Second function of the SequenceType extension and the last function of our little program is sum(), it will sum up the value of all digits.


First off, I'm really sorry for the delayed post to any of you who were checking back. Things got super busy and I was unable to get this up until today. I very much appreciate everyone's interest though and really look forward to continuing this conversation with all of you.
Last week I shared a little bit about my experience from reading The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. I also mentioned that last Thursday's post would set the stage for today's. What I want to share today is what I believe to be one of the most important things that I learned from reading The Normal Christian Life, in fact probably one of the most important truths I've learned in the whole 22 years I've been here. This is a revelation that I believe is a foundational truth when it comes to our life in Christ. This lesson has to do with our death in Christ and that death being a historical fact, an event that has already happened.
Today I just want to leave you with these bits of scripture, they are very big contributions to this conversation on our death and life in Christ and how that is a historical fact, an event that has already happened. I'm going to continue Wednesday and go into what I have learned with other brothers and sisters concerning these verses and this very subject. In the meantime, please consider these excerpts from Paul's letters and go read them in the full context that they were written in. Also feel free to share your thoughts on this subject and what you've learned on your journey.


On the day of her birthday, eleven-year-old Angeliki jumps off the balcony and falls to her death with a smile on her face. While the police and Social Services try to discover the reason for this apparent suicide, Angeliki's family keep insisting that it was an accident. What is the secret that young Angeliki took with her?

The Radical Statistics Group, usually abbreviated to Radstats, was formed in 1975 as part of the radical science movement associated with the establishment of the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science (BSSRS).
The researchers and statisticians who started Radstats shared a common concern about the political implications of their work and an awareness of the actual and potential misuse of statistics. Sadly, neither the BSSRS nor other organizations affiliated to the BSSRS, survived the 18 years of Conservative rule from 1979 to 1997.
RadStats is now independent of any other organisation. Members are 'radical' in being committed to helping build a more free, democratic and egalitarian society. Members of Radstats are concerned at the extent to which official statistics reflect governmental rather than social purposes. Our particular concerns are:
The mystifying use of technical language to disguise social problems as technical ones
The lack of control by the community over the aims of statistical investigations, the way these are conducted and the use of the information produced
The power structures within which statistical and research workers are employed and which control the work and how it is used
The fragmentation of social problems into specialist fields, obscuring connectedness
Radstats members believe that statistics can be used as part of campaigns for progressive social change – just as they were used to support measures that led to improvements in public health in the 19th century.
Radstats is not a professional or an academic organization. It has been said that working with Radstats is unlikely to help anyone build their career, although anecdotal evidence about our members might appear to contradict this! The administrative work is handled by a Troika elected at the Annual General Meeting at the time of the Annual Conference.
Contact the Troika or other officials.

The present paper, which is intended for a diverse audience of evaluation researchers, applied social scientists, and research funders, provides a broad overview of the conceptual and statistical issues involved in using multisite randomized trials to learn about and from variation in program effects across individuals, across policy-relevant and theoretically relevant subgroups of individuals, and across program sites. Learning about variation in program effects involves detecting and quantifying this variation. Learning from variation in program effects involves studying the factors which predict or explain it. The paper is divided into four sections, plus a brief final discussion. The first section introduces the concepts and issues involved. Section 2 focuses on detecting and quantifying variation in effects of program assignment, which are often referred to as effects of intent to treat (ITT). Section 3 extends the discussion to variation in effects of program participation, which are often referred to as a complier average causal effect (CACE) or a local average treatment effect (LATE). Section 4 considers moderators of program effects (individual-level or site-level factors that influence the sign and magnitude of these effects) and mediators of program effects (individual-level or site-level "mechanisms" by which these effects are produced).

Rumble launches new desktop and mobile web design with easier category navigation, like-dislike ratio bar, and more
A new look with more stats.
Video sharing platform Rumble has rolled out a new desktop and mobile web design that provides more video stats and makes it easier to navigate to specific categories.
The new design features category bubbles at the top of the homepage which make it easier to quickly jump to specific homepage categories with a single click or tap. Previously, users would have to manually scroll through the homepage categories.
The left sidebar on the desktop homepage has also been revamped with this new design. Previously, this sidebar would be hidden until users clicked or tapped on the top left menu icon and it didn't show the profile images of the featured channels or their subscriptions. Now a minimized version of this sidebar is always visible on the desktop homepage and users can click or tap to expand it.
Another change with this new design is that the main video that's highlighted on the Rumble homepage is now more prominent.
Video thumbnails across the site have also received an upgrade and are now larger and high definition.
Additionally, the new design displays more details about each video that's highlighted on channel pages, category pages, and in search results by adding a like-dislike count and ratio bar and a comments count. The old design would just display the views, total Rumbles (total likes-total dislikes), and upload date.
Rumble's video pages have also had a revamp with this new design. The previous design would display the total Rumbles but the new design shows the like-dislike ratio bar, the total number of likes, and the total number of dislikes.
Search result pages have also got a new look and now include both channels and videos.
Additionally, the new design adds a red border to live videos on the homepage, channel pages, category pages, and search result pages.
"Having a good UI/UX is imperative to compete in this market, and I'm happy to announce that we have taken a big step forward," Rumble Chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski said. "We will not stop here. Improving our video-sharing platform will continue to be one of our top priorities in 2023."
The new desktop and mobile web design is the latest of many changes Rumble has made over the last few months. Some of the other changes include the addition of in-app notifications on mobile and the introduction of pre-roll ads.

The 2015 Côte de Beaune Villages is a real overachiever. I suppose that that is not entirely surprising since the fruit from the three parcels that inform this wine, all between Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet, have been declassifed from Santenay village to Côte de Beaune villages. Pliant and supple in the glass, the 2015 possesses lovely depth and impecccable overall balance. This is a striking wine, especially in its peer group. Don't miss it. 88-90 oints. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Q: $f'(x) = g(f(x)) $ where $g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is smooth. Show $f$ is smooth.
Suppose $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is differentiable and $g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ is infinitely differentiable, i.e. $ g \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})$, where we know $f'(x) = g(f(x)) $ on $\mathbb{R}$. Show that $ f \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})$.

Thus I have to show that $f$ is infinitely differentiable, that is, derivatives of all orders exist. I can assume by induction that all derivatives of order less than, say $n$, exist, and have to show that the $nth$ derivative exists for $f$.
I came up with this:
$f^{n}(x) = (g \circ  f)^{n-1}(x)$. I somehow have to show that the $(n-1)th$ derivative for this composite function exists. I tried using the chain rule, but it just seems to become more ugly as I continue taking more derivatives. Obviously, I have to use the fact that $g$ is infinitely differentiable as well as the inductive assumption, although I'm not sure how to complete this line of reasoning. Maybe induction isn't even the right way to proceed.
Ideas?

A: Notation: For any function $h$ let $h^{(0)}=h$, and let $h^{(n)}$ be the $n$th derivative of $h$ for $n\geq 1.$
Suppose for some $n\geq 0,$ there is a polynomial $ P_n$ in $(2 n+2)$ variables such that $$f^{(n+1)}=P_n(g^{(0)}(f),...,g^{(n)}(f),\;f^{(0))},...,f^{(n)}).$$ Then every term occurring in the polynomial on the RHS is differentiable (because $g$ is smooth and $f^{(j)}$ exists for $j\leq n+1$), so the RHS is differentiable, so $f^{(n+2)}$ exists. The result of differentiating  is $$ f^{(n+2)}=P_{n+1}(g^{(0)}(f),...,g^{(n+1)}(f),\;f^{(0)},..., f^{(n+1)})$$ where $P_{n+1}$ is a polynomial in $(2(n+1)+2)$ variables.

A: Suppose $f \in C^k$, then $f^{(k+1)} = f'^{(k)} = (g \circ f)^{(k)}$. Since $g \in C^\infty$ and $f \in C^k$, we have that $g \circ f \in C^k$, and thus that $f^{(k+1)} = (g \circ f)^{(k)} \in C^0$, so it follows that $f \in C^{k+1}$.  QED
Or even more succinctly as John Ma pointed out below:
Suppose $f \in C^k$, then since $g \in C^\infty$, we have that $g \circ f \in C^k$, and thus that $f' = g \circ f \in C^k$. But $f' \in C^k \Longleftrightarrow f \in C^{k+1}$.  QED

A: Note that this is a differential equation. The equivalent Picard integral equation is
$$
f(x)=f(0)+\int_0^x g(f(t))\,dt
$$
From here it is trivial to observe that if $f$ is $C^n$ or better, then the composition $g\circ f$ is also at least $C^n$ and thus the anti-derivative $C^{n+1}$. Which gives that $f$ is also $C^{n+1}$ and so on.
