[1605-15; < L: a listing and property assessment of citizens, equiv. to cens(ere) to assess, register (citizens) in a census + -tus suffix of v. action; for -s- in place of -st- see CENSOR]
Enumeration of people, houses, firms, or other important items in a country or region at a particular time.
The first U.S. population census was taken in 1790 to establish a basis for representation in Congress. Censuses were taken in England, France, and Canada in 1801, 1836, and 1871, respectively. China was the last major country to report a census, in 1953. Census information is obtained by using a fixed questionnaire covering such topics as place of residence, sex, age, marital status, occupation, citizenship, language, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and education. From the responses demographers derive data on population distribution, household and family composition, internal migration, labor-force participation, and other topics. See also demography.
an enumeration of people, houses, firms, or other important items in a country or region at a particular time. Used alone, the term usually refers to a population census—the type to be described in this article. However, many countries take censuses of housing, manufacturing, and agriculture.
Censuses, being expensive, are taken only at infrequent intervals: every 10 years in many countries, every 5 years or at irregular intervals in other countries. In noncensus years the population is estimated with the aid of vital statistics if these are sufficiently reliable. For instance, the population in postcensual year X equals the population at the last census plus the births, minus the deaths, plus or minus the net migration during the intervening years.
Strictly speaking, the modern population census began to evolve only in the 17th century. Before that time, inventories of people, taxpayers, or valuables were certainly made, but the methods and purposes of such inventories were different from modern ones. The most important difference was that early inventories were made to control particular individuals—e.g., to identify who should be taxed, inducted into military service, or forced to work. Because it was usually not to an individual's interest to be counted or to give correct information for these purposes, the premodern enumerations tended to be inaccurate. A second difference was that early inventories did not seek to count all the people or even a representative sample of them but only those in particular categories, such as family heads or males of military age. Such surveys are known to have been made in ancient Babylonia, Palestine, Persia, China, and Egypt. Every five years, the Romans (ancient Rome) enumerated citizens and their property to determine their liabilities. This practice was extended to include the entire Roman Empire in 5 BC. After the collapse of Rome the practice was discontinued in the West until the modern period. The main exception was Domesday Book, the inquest of England in 1086 that was made to acquaint William the Conqueror (William I) with the landholders and holdings of his new domain. Under the threat of siege, the German city of Nürnberg made an almost complete count of its people in 1449.
The modern idea of a population census as a complete enumeration of all the people and their important characteristics for purposes of understanding the basic structure and trends of the society rather than for identifying and controlling particular individuals slowly arose in the 17th and 18th centuries. There is no such thing as "the first census" because, although early efforts embodied one or another modern feature, none of them embodied all modern features. Perhaps the first effort in an area larger than a city to count everyone at successive intervals was made in New France (Quebec) and Acadia (Nova Scotia), where 16 enumerations were made between 1665 and 1754. In 1749 the Swedish clergy, who had long kept lists of parishioners, was required to render returns from which the total population of Sweden (including Finland) was obtained, and a similar development began in Denmark in 1787. Certain Italian states conducted approximately accurate enumerations: Sardinia in 1773 and 1795, Parma in 1770, and Tuscany in 1766. Enumerations occurred in several German states from 1742 onward. Although several British North American colonies—such as Virginia in 1624–25 and subsequently—had made full enumerations, the United States made history when it took its first census in 1790, not only because of the size of the area enumerated and the effort to obtain data on characteristics of the population but also because of the political purpose for which it was undertaken—namely, representation in Congress on the basis of population. England took its first census in 1801, and, although France tried to do so in 1800 and 1806, the administrative machinery was poor and the results untrustworthy until 30 years later.
Only gradually did the early census takers learn what was basic information and how to obtain it. The first United States census did not, for example, secure data on occupation, birthplace, marital status, or exact age. A five-year age classification of whites was provided by the 1800 census, but other items had to wait until later, and until 1850 the unit used was the family rather than the individual. In England no satisfactory attempt was made to secure age data until 1841, and no effort to secure marital status until 1851.
The history of modern census taking thus involves three parallel developments: (1) the invention and gradual spread of the idea of countrywide enumerations for general scientific and governmental purposes, (2) the improvement of administrative machinery, techniques, and accuracy of enumeration, including legal safeguards assuring that individual answers would be kept in confidence, and (3) the deepening and systematization of the types of information obtained. All three developments tended to increase the effectiveness of censuses as sources of essential information.
It is a mistake to think that in the history of each country there is a date, marked by the first census, before which the size and characteristics of the population were totally obscure and after which they are totally clear. Usually some fragmentary information was available even before the first census, and afterward some time was required before the census record became reasonably full and accurate. As the countries pioneering in census taking gradually worked out better systems of enumeration, however, these could be transferred to new countries without repeating all the trials and errors. Canada's first dominion-wide census was taken in 1871, India's in 1871–72, and Egypt's in 1897.
In addition to the national censuses, others were taken in colonial territories, parts of countries, cities, and so on. It is estimated that in the decade after World War II at least 150 countries or areas took censuses collecting individual data on more than two billion persons. The large number of countries having censuses in the second half of the 20th century was partly due to efforts of the United Nations. Not only does the United Nations encourage countries to take censuses, but it sponsors regional statistical committees that suggest minimum standards and offer technical assistance in the planning and conduct of enumerations. When China reported a census in 1953, the last large part of the world was removed from demographic darkness. The population of the entire world is now known with a degree of accuracy never before approximated, and the structure of populations (including their socioeconomic characteristics) and their patterns of change are understood as never before.
Modern census procedure
Modern censuses refer to a precisely delimited territory and subareas and, for this reason, are normally planned and conducted with the aid of detailed maps. They aim to enumerate every person within the designated territory. A "de jure" census tallies people according to their regular or legal residence, whereas a "de facto" census allocates them to the place where enumerated—normally where they spend the night of the day enumerated. By either method, the reported territorial distribution is according to where people sleep (nighttime population) rather than where they work (daytime population). For this reason the population of central cities is usually far less than the number employed there and that of suburbs far more than those employed in suburbs.
In addition to being precise as to territory, the census must be precise as to time; accordingly, a specific moment is almost always selected. This "census moment," often fixed at midnight, becomes the chronological line separating the included from the excluded. All persons born after the census moment or dying before it are excluded; all others are included. The census moment is also the reference point for certain kinds of questions, such as age, marital status, and citizenship. Although some questions, such as occupation or labour-force participation, refer to a period of time rather than an infinitesimal moment, clarity requires that the exact limits of the period be specified. The need for time precision is necessary because the actual enumeration may take days or weeks. Because during this period many people will have moved about, died, or been born, the census is taken as of a certain day, hour, and moment.
The requirement that all individuals be enumerated does not mean that all individuals must actually be interviewed. A wife may supply information about her husband; a parent may supply information about his or her children. Nor does it mean that every question must be answered about every individual. If all individuals are enumerated—that is, counted and categorized on a few basic questions—there then exists a basis for sampling with respect to other questions.
Because census information is obtained by using a fixed questionnaire for interviewing, there are two broad types of resulting data: direct data, the answers to specific questions on the schedule; and derived data, the facts discovered by classifying and interrelating the answers to various questions. Direct information, in turn, is of two sorts: items such as name, address, and the like, used primarily to guide the enumeration process itself; and items such as birthplace, marital status, and occupation, used directly for the compilation of census tables. From the second class of direct data, derived information is obtained, such as total population, rural-urban distribution, and family composition. The following is one list of desirable topics suggested by the United Nations.
direct topics: Geographic (1) place enumerated and/or place of usual residence; Familial (2) relation to head of household or family; Demographic (3) sex, (4) age, (5) marital status, (6) children ever born, (7) birthplace; Economic (8) type of activity, (9) occupation, (10) industry, (11) employer-employee status; Social and political (12) citizenship, (13) language, (14) ethnic or religious affiliation; Educational (15) literacy or level of education, (16) school attendance. derived topics: (17) total population; (18) population of towns and local areas; (19) urban-rural distribution; (20) household or family composition. Possible additional topics include prior place of residence (for understanding internal migration), farm-tenure status, income, labour-force participation, duration of marriage, and number of prior marriages.
The machinery used to analyze the results has a profound influence on the whole census. In the 19th century, when tabulations were made manually, no complex questions were asked because of the impossibility of analyzing them. This situation was entirely changed with the introduction of computerized tabulations and analyses. Modern computers have led to a second revolution that by permitting complex tabulations to be made quickly, has moved the bottlenecks to the data-transfer stages, when the written records are converted for computer use and when the tabulated results are to be turned into printed books.

TEMECULA FC DEFEAT ALBION PROS 1-0 IN WEEKDAY MATCHUP
Temecula FC took all three points from last year's conference champions Albion PROS in a tight 1-0 win. Temecula FC started fast and physical from the start, putting the ball in behind Albion and creating a few chances right from the start. After 10 minutes Albion started to settle and grow into the match and hit the crossbar with a flowing move down the left. That proved to be the one and only effort from Albion in the first half as Temecula FC went down the field and Ryan Brent hit the back of the net from a long throw to end the half 1-0.
The second half started with Albion having most of the possession and starting to grow into the game and put pressure on Temecula FC's midfield and defense. Temecula FC made two subs very early on into the second half, which added some fresh legs and strength into the midfield, but soon after Albion started to turn the screws again and put Temecula under extreme pressure for the remaining 25 minutes of the match. Albion missed chance after chance to find the equalizer and Temecula FC saw the game out for the 1-0 win.

Atlanta Falcons to Take On New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI
By Jasmine Ginyard on January 23, 2017
It's official! This year's Super Bowl game will see the Atlanta Falcons face off against the New England Patriots.
The two teams will face off in Houston to take home the title of the best in the league, but for now both are enjoying being the best in their respective conferences. This will make Atlanta's second trip the the big game- the Dirty Birds previously lost the 1999 Super Bowl-and the seventh trip for the Patriots in the past 16 years.

The Atlanta Falcons beat the Green Bay Packers 44-21 in their final playoff game, and Packers coach Mike McCarthy credits Atlanta fans with showing up and serving as a "fantastic" distraction. "We fell behind and then we got into a game you just don't want to play, especially in this stadium," McCarthy said according to the AJC. "The crowd was fantastic it was a great environment to compete in and the noise factored in a little bit for us. We had to take a timeout early and a handful of times we couldn't get the play in early and it was a problem."
The New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17 for the title of AFC champions.
This year's bowl is expected to be one of the highest scoring Super Bowls and early gambling stats currently favor the Patriots over the Falcons.
Super Bowl LI goes down Sunday, Feb. 5, starting at 6:30 p.m. on FOX.

When it comes to home security, it is of the upmost importance that your development's doors and windows are up to scratch.
The introduction last year (in October 2015) of new Building Regulation requirements, known as Document Q, has in many ways merely reinforced this centrality.
As with most regulations the requirements for Document Q were phased in – but as of October 2016 it is compulsory for developers in England.
Yet, many are still confused over exactly what Document Q means for the industry, which types of developments it applies to and exactly whose responsibility it is to ensure it is met.
We have prepared a simple factsheet that you can download <link> to cut through the confusion and make yourself at home with exactly what Document Q means for the homes you build.
Here we'd like to answer some of the questions we are most frequently asked about Document Q.
Q (& A)
Q: What exactly is Document Q?
A: It is the latest addition to Building Regulations. It brings security to the forefront by setting out reasonable standards for doors and windows in all new residences.
All relevant doors and windows in these properties must be made to a design that can be shown, by test, to meet the security requirements of PAS24:2012.
Existing homes are currently not required to meet these requirements.
Q: Exactly what properties are covered by Document Q?
A: It applies to all new dwellings, and this includes existing buildings that have been converted into dwellings. Conservation Areas are not exempt from its requirements.
Q: What exactly is a 'relevant' door or window?
Document Q relates to doors providing an entrance to a building. This includes garage doors where there is a connecting door to the house and any door that allows access into communal areas of buildings containing flats and apartments (communal entrances, emergency exits, drying rooms, cycle stores and refuse areas, for example).
It also applies to all ground floor, basement and other easily accessible windows, including roof windows and skylights.
Q: Does it apply to extensions?
A: Extensions fall outside of the current scope of the legislation.
Q: Does it apply to doors leading to a balcony?
Q: Does it apply to replacement windows?
A: It currently only applies to new build homes, flats and apartments.
Q: Does it apply to hotels or commercial properties?
Q: Does it apply to key worker or student accommodation?
A: This is slightly more nuanced.
If the design of the building will offer accommodation that is clustered into a number of bedrooms that are accessed by a shared front entrance door then it is applicable.
However, if the development's bedrooms are located off a shared hallway then it will fall outside the requirements of Document Q.
Q8: What is the difference between Document Q and Secured by Design?
A: Let's consider first the similarities.
The technical standards that are used by Document Q and Secured By Design are the same. This means that if you are using a Secured By Design approved product you can be 100% confident you are complying with the law.
Where the two differ is that Secured By Design requires door and window products to be fully certificated. Document Q, however, requires only that they can be tested once fitted to ensure they are compliant.
Q: Does it supersede the requirements set out in Part B for the fire regulations of apartments and flats?
A: No, you must comply with both.
Document Q in a nutshell
In essence the requirements of Document Q are straightforward enough and mirror what developers, suppliers and fitters have been practicing for many years.

Paul probably stayed in Antioch for almost a year. He then set out on his third major trip to strengthen the churches he visited before. The first areas he ministered to were Galatia and Phrygia, including the cities of Derbe, Lystra and Iconium. During this time, Apollos was traveling and preaching Jesus Christ, but he was yet lacking knowledge in the most current events, including the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the raising up of Paul as the apostle to the Gentiles. Apollos ended up in Ephesus where he met Aquila and Priscilla. Since they have been traveling with Paul, they understood the many dispensational changes that were happening and had the opportunity to teach Apollos about these important changes. Apollos was quick to understand this new doctrine and began to speak powerfully against the Jews who rejected Jesus Christ. He had become a great help to the grace believers.
It appears that after being instructed in the message of Grace in Ephesus that Apollos traveled to Corinth to work with the believers there. While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul was traveling throughout the region of Asia, finally stopping in Ephesus. This is where Paul gave the Holy Spirit to some Kingdom believers, in a manner akin to Peter giving the Holy Spirit to the Samaritans (Acts 8:14–17). This is another proof of apostleship since no one else was able to part the Holy Spirit.
Paul stayed in Ephesus for two years, first speaking in the synagogue, and then when forced out, he went to the school of Tyrannus.
Not only was Paul preaching boldly, but he was also performing great miracles. Handkerchiefs that he touched were carried to those who needed healing or demons cast out. Paul was doing miracles to prove that he was sent from God as an apostle (2 Corinthians 12:12), and as a sign to the Jews. He was driving out demons in the name of Jesus. There were those in Ephesus who were trying to imitate Paul's miracles through black magic. There was much demonic activity in the city of Ephesus and sorcery was commonly practiced.
Sceva was a Jew who was called a high priest, although he was probably not truly a high priest because he would have been serving in the temple at Jerusalem. He had seven sons who were practicing exorcism. When they saw Paul casting out demons in the name of Jesus, they began to cast out demons using a phrase similar to what Paul had been using, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." Unfortunately for them, the demons did not recognize them as having any authority over them because they were not believers. The man who was possessed with the demon jumped on them and beat them so badly that they fled the house naked and wounded.
Word of this event began to circulate thought the city and many became believers through this incident. A large number of people who had been practicing black magic renounced it and brought their demonic paraphernalia to be burned, probably worth several million dollars today. Through this incident, the word of God was rapidly gaining acceptance.
From Ephesus, Paul intended to go through Macedonia (Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea), down to Achaia (Athens and Corinth), and finally to Jerusalem. After that, he desired to travel to Rome, most likely to visit with the churches that he wrote to in the book of Romans. He sent Timothy and Erastus ahead of him into Macedonia while he stayed in Ephesus for a while.
But until then, Paul stayed in Ephesus and became the center of an uprising of craftsmen who were making silver idols to Artemis (or the goddess Diana). The Ephesians worshipped Artemis as a mother earth goddess with emphasis on fertility and reproduction. Her worship was often based on lascivious practices at the temple constructed in her honor.
A silversmith, Demetrius, saw his profits plummet because so many were turning to the true God through Paul's ministry. He drew other craftsmen together to stir up the people against Paul by showing how Paul was desecrating the great goddess Artemis. The riotous mob couldn't find Paul, but they were able to drag two other believers, into the open theater, and chaos ensued with uproarious shouting for over two hours. Many of the rabble-rousers did not even know why they were there.
The town clerk finally stepped in to calm them down. He encouraged them to bring the matter to the authorities through legal channels instead of anarchistic rule. He emphasized that they were breaking Roman law by rioting and that they could pay the consequences for what they are doing. He then dismissed the assembly.
The word assembly comes from the Greek word ekklesia. Here, the ekklesia is a riotous mob (Acts 19:32, 39, 41). Most people understand that the word ekklesia refers to a church. An ekklesia is a general term for a called out group. A church is a group of people called out of the world to meet together and worship God. The riotous mob was also a called out group who came out to protest the desecration of the goddess Artemis. Acts 7:38 speaks of the church (ekklesia) in the wilderness, referring to Israel. It's easy to see that when ekklesia is used, the context is important in clarifying which assembly is in view.
This is important when reading about the "church." When Peter was told that Jesus would build His church on Christ, we have to understand from the context that He was speaking of the Hebrew assembly that we see had formed through Jesus' ministry to Israel, the Little Flock. This is the same church that Paul was persecuting before he was saved (Acts 8:1). The church at Jerusalem was formed from the many converts in early Acts and continued as the Little Flock even into Acts 21.
Different churches were being formed by the Apostle Paul. These churches were often composed of Jews and Gentiles. There were often members of the Little Flock and members of the Body of Christ meeting together under one roof. Both were worshipping God, but the Little Flock was looking for an earthly kingdom while the Body of Christ is looking forward to a heavenly existence. The seven church assemblies in Revelation are often confused to be members of the Body of Christ, when they are actually the Little Flock, probably toward the end of the tribulation, being encouraged to hang on to the very end.
It is important to realize that the term church means assembly. Most people think church always refers to us in this Dispensation of Grace. It can refer to the Little Flock of believers, the Body of Christ believers, a church building, a riotous mob, or even Israel. Context is most important in deciding which church is being referred to.

Fringe show soldiers visit Poppy vets
Wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women starring in a hit Fringe production, The Two Worlds of Charlie F, will take a break from performing to meet veterans from Lady Haig's Poppy Factory today.
The play features real-life servicemen and women and has been produced by the Theatre Royal Haymarket Masterclass Trust along with Poppyscotland, The Royal British Legion and Defence Recovery Capability.
After critically acclaimed performances in London, Birmingham and Cardiff, The Two Worlds of Charlie F is making its Scottish debut at the Fringe, running at the Pleasance Grand until Saturday.
During the visit to the factory, in Warriston Road, cast members will meet the 40 veterans with disabilities who hand assemble more than five million poppies every year for the Scottish Poppy Appeal.

Journal of the American Water Resources Association, 52(4), 993-1008.
Sensors and enabling technologies are becoming increasingly important tools for water quality monitoring and associated water resource management decisions. In particular, nutrient sensors are of interest because of the well-known adverse effects of nutrient enrichment on coastal hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and impacts to human health. Accurate and timely information on nutrient concentrations and loads is integral to strategies designed to minimize risk to humans and manage the underlying drivers of water quality impairment. Using nitrate sensors as the primary example, we highlight the types of applications in freshwater and coastal environments that are likely to benefit from continuous, real-time nutrient data. The concurrent emergence of new tools to integrate, manage, and share large datasets is critical to the successful use of nutrient sensors and has made it possible for the field of continuous monitoring to rapidly move forward. We highlight several near-term opportunities for federal agencies, as well as the broader scientific and management community, that will help accelerate sensor development, build and leverage sites within a national network, and develop open data standards and data management protocols that are key to realizing the benefits of a large-scale, integrated monitoring network. Investing in these opportunities will provide new information to guide management and policies designed to protect and restore our nation's water resources.

Med student studies why some HIV patients don't stick to medication plan
By Ileana Varela
The World Health Organization's latest data estimates that worldwide more than 36 million people, including more than one million Americans, are living with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Thanks to antiretroviral therapy, ART, fewer people are progressing to AIDS. Antiretroviral drugs do not kill or cure the virus, but help keep it in check. In order to do that, adherence to antiretroviral treatments is critical. Medication needs to be taken daily and as prescribed, but for many people maintaining the drug therapy regimen is a challenge.
Leary in with Harriet, the Bwindi hospital's assistant to the executive director.
Scott Leary, a second-year medical student at Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, spent part of last summer at a hospital in rural Uganda studying the factors that impact whether patients properly comply with taking their medications.
"We did a retrospective chart review of patients on ART who are seen at the hospital's HIV/AIDS clinic and looked at the reasons why some people still had viral levels above the ideal level," says Leary.
The study found numerous barriers to adherence, including lack of food, fear of taking medication on an empty stomach, stress, domestic abuse, and relying on others to obtain the medication from the hospital. He will be presenting the first results of his research project,"Identifying Barriers to HIV Management and Treatment in the Catchment Area of Bwindi Community Hospital," next month at the American Medical Student Association's Annual Convention in Washington, D. C.
Leary presenting the research poster at the American Public Health Association Workshop in San Diego.
Studies suggest that in order for antiretroviral treatment to be successful, adherence needs to be higher than 90 to 95 percent, but the worldwide average is around 70 percent adherence. According to the Centers for Disease Control, initiating antiretroviral treatment early and properly following it "has been shown to improve health, suppress HIV viral load and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others."
Leary's interest in studying HIV began as an undergrad at the University of Alabama. In the past six years, he has worked at a research lab in Port St. Lucie, the National Institutes of Health, and at a hospital in Spain, on a Fulbright Graduate Research Grant.
"I've progressed from bench research to a more public health approach because I realized lab research wasn't really for me, and I also felt I could make a bigger impact on HIV prevention through the public health route," he says.
The last two years of medical school are the busiest. Students must juggle clinical rotations, board examinations and residency applications and interviews, in addition to school work; yet Leary hopes to find time to return to Bwindi Community Hospital during the next couple of years to conduct personal interviews with HIV patients. His goal is to be able to use the research findings to advocate for funding to educate patients and medical staff on how to improve adherence to HIV treatment — not just in Uganda, but across the world.
Leary's research project is supported by HWCOM and the Kellermann Foundation.

The Diary of Anne Frank – Review

Listen to my review from CBC's Calgary Eyeopener at
http://www.cbc.ca/eyeopener/columnists/theatre/2014/04/07/jessica-goldman-reviews-diary-of-anne-frank/
For fans of the book – While the play doesn't capture the literary prowess and imagination of this precocious young teen, it does give full life to situations that can only be described on Anne's pages. So it's a bit of give and take in this gorgeous production that sees many fine performances but an Anne that is too perky to be completely engrossed by. MAYBE SEE IT
For The Diary of Anne Frank newbies – This is a 60-year-old play that still is relatable and relevant. We can all imagine the horror of being locked in at attic with 7 other people in fear for your life and terrified that someone may hear you. But the real draw of the story is Anne, who managed to remain hopeful throughout her ordeal. While the production may do Anne some disservice, overall this is a very good introduction to her story. SEE IT
For occasional theatre goers – The story may be familiar but you will not find a dull moment in this production thanks to a magnificent set,some very fine acting and a few laughs amongst the ultimately tragic story being told. SEE IT
For theatre junkies – It's odd to say forget about Anne when watching The Diary of Anne Frank but if you are willing, there are some outstanding performances in this eye-catching production. While Director Paul Muir may have faltered with getting his Anne to really resonate and once or twice goes in for some terribly hackneyed staging (the final attic scene in particular), the majority of the direction flows effortlessly and shows a real talent for navigating a small, stagnant set. MAYBE SEE IT

DF has coined a new movement, a movement that aims to address the needs of the historically marginalized people of Nepal i.e. Indigenous Peoples, women and Dalit ("Untouchable�? or "Crushed�?) communities of Hindu caste group as the STRUGGLE AGAINST MARGINALIZATION IN NEPAL (SAMAN). SAMAN literally means equality in Nepali. The strategy of the SAMAN movement focuses on the revival, reformation and reintegration of indigenous knowledge systems and institutions through programs that fall under the acronym "SMILING EYES.�? SMILING EYES is an acronym that describes the fields of activities that the DF is engaged by respectfully incorporating indigenous knowledge systems in order to reach its organizational goal: building harmonious and equitable societies with sustainable transformations.
DF proposes to establish cultural resource centers to support the activities of "SMILING EYES�? in a given project area called Centers for Cultural Dialogue (CCD). A CCD will serve as a hub to train IP's, women and Dalits who uphold indigenous knowledge as key to development activities. The CCD will also provide opportunities for dialogue and communication between culture and science, intra- and inter-faith groups and multidisciplinary exchange as a way to promote cultural renaissance in virtually "medieval�? Nepalese societies. In sum, CCD's will provide a physical and conceptual space for educational and entrepreneurial training opportunities, expert advice, information and discussion space to promote public awareness about a particular community's development to community members, social activists, NGO's, philanthropists, or anyone engaged in culturally appropriate community development.

Actor Payal Ghosh Joins Ramdas Athawale-led Republican Party
Payal Ghosh had recently accused Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of rape.
Actor Payal Ghosh on Monday, 26 October, joined Union minister Ramdas Athawale-led Republican Party of India (A) in Mumbai, reported news agency ANI. She has been appointed as the vice president of the party's women's wing.
Ghosh had recently accused Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of rape, a charge denied by the latter. She claimed in an interview that the filmmaker had told her Richa Chadha, Mahie Gill and Huma Qureshi are 'just a call away' when it came to giving him sexual favours – allegations denied by all three women and the director.
She met Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari, demanding action against the filmmaker and was accompanied by her now party chief Athawale.
The Mumbai Police had booked Kashyap under Sections 376 (I) (rape), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 342 (wrongful confinement) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
In her police complaint, she claimed that Kashyap raped her at a place on Yari Road in Versova in 2013.

pink lady's slipper
(Cypripedium acaule)
Photo by Bill Reynolds
Pink lady's slipper is a 5½″ to 19¾″ tall, erect, perennial forb. It rises on a pair of basal leaves and a single leafless flower stalk (scape) from a long rhizome and widely-spaced roots. The rhizome is horizontal, slender, fleshy, and sometimes branched. The roots are white, fleshy or cord-like, and up to 13¾″ long.
In the first two or three years after germination the plant lives entirely underground as a shapeless mass of cells (protocorm). In the third or fourth spring a single pair of ascending to spreading leaves rise directly from the rhizome. Each blade is elliptic, 3½″ to 9″ long, 1″ to 4″ wide. It sheaths the flowering stem at the base, is broadly angled at the tip, and is plaited or folded, like a fan. The upper surface is green. The lower surface is silvery and shiny. Both surfaces are covered with short glandular hairs. The margins are untoothed.
The inflorescence is a solitary flower at the end of an erect stalk (scape). The scape is hairy, leafless, and round in cross section. A single leaf-like appendage (bract) subtends the flower. The bract is stalkless, lance-shaped, green, hairy, ⅞″ to 1¾″ long, and ⅜″ to ½″ wide.
The flower has three sepals and three petals. The sepals are covered with glandular hairs. The upper sepal is elliptic to lance-shaped elliptic, yellowish-green to brown or purple, 1″ to 1½″ long, and 3 ⁄16″ to ⅞″ wide. It is arched over the inflated lower lip petal. The bract subtending the flower arches over the upper sepal like a hood. The two lateral sepals are fused together into a single structure (synsepal) that is located directly below the lip petal. The synsepal is egg-shaped to lance-shaped, ⅝″ to 2″ long, ¼″ to 1″ wide, and is similar in appearance to the upper sepal.
The two lateral petals are linear lance-shaped to lance-linear, 1⅛″ to 1¾″ long, ⅛″ to ⅝″ wide, and similar in appearance to the sepals. They are bent abruptly downward to somewhat spreading and are slightly spirally twisted. The lower petal (lip) is inflated to form a large, showy, slipper-like, 15 ⁄16″ to 2⅜″ long, 13 ⁄16″ to 19 ⁄16″ wide pouch. It is pink to magenta or purple, with dark branching veins. It is covered with glandular hairs. The upper (dorsal) surface has a deep longitudinal fissure the length of the lip.
Unlike other orchids, the filaments and style are not fused into a column. There are 2 stamens and an enlarged, modified, sterile stamen (staminode). The staminode is purplish-green and inversely egg-shaped to almost four-angled. It curves over the base of the lip petal and below the upper sepal. There is one style with a lobed stigma.
The fruit is a single, erect, ellipse-shaped, ribbed, ¾″ to 19 ⁄16″ long capsule. The persistent bract partially encloses the base of the capsule.

Asda Is Going 'Full Swede Ahead' On Removing Plastic Wrapping From Vegetables
Plastic Packaging August 21, 2018 Plastics Infomart
Asda, the British retailer has announced it is removing plastic wrapping on swedes sold in its stores, as part of its 'Plastics Unwrapped' programme to cut down on plastics.
The move will saves Asda from using six million individual pieces of plastic a year, according to the Walmart-owned retailer.
The 'Plastics Unwrapped' programme was launched in February and aims to remove avoidable plastic across various products at Asda. The retailer is confident that it will lead to a reduction of 14 tonnes' worth of plastic.
Six Million Naked Swedes
Asda's plan is to reduce plastic packaging in own brand products by an initial 10% by February 2019 and make all packaging 100% recyclable by 2025.
In a separate blog post, Nikki Dixon, Senior Manager for Plastic Reduction said that removal of plastic wrapping for fresh produce can't be a blanket decision and adapted solutions need to be provided for various vegetables.
"We're currently scrutinising each and every piece of fruit and veg that we sell to see if we can do things differently — and where we can undress our fruit or veg, we're committed to doing so," she said. "It's a delicate balance, as our tests show that removing the plastic wrapping from some fruit and vegetables can drastically reduce shelf life and actually increase food waste.
"Unwrapped cucumbers, for example, lose three times more weight than wrapped due to dehydration, which leads to rubbery, yellowing cucumbers that are more prone to rotting and mould."
The commitment to a more sustainable business could prove to be another asset to further Asda's growth, and good news for new owner Sainsbury's who is in the process of tying up its takeover of the business.

The incoming president of the United Nations General Assembly opened the 72nd Session declaring that priorities for the body was to come up with a global framework to address immigration, a treaty banning nuclear weapons, and further implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Miroslav Lajčák, a career diplomat from Slovakia, in his first address as President of the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly, said his tenure would be a "year of firsts" – the negotiation of the first intergovernmental compact on migration and the signing of the first agreement on the elimination of nuclear weapons – and called upon Member States to come together to help people striving for peace and a decent life.
Apart from being a year of "firsts", he said, it would also a year of follow-up on maintaining the momentum in implementing and financing the Sustainable Development Goals and ensuring continued work on the Paris Agreement on climate change.
"Commitments from yesterday must become actions now," he told the assembly. He added that the United Nations must be allowed to work "in a way as never before. The UN today is very different from [when it was established] in 1945 – reforming, evolving.
The work of the United Nations could often be complex, he said, but emphasized that the organization was created, first and foremost, for the people.
"No country can meet these tests alone. But, if we work together, we can chart a safer, more stable course. And that is why the General Assembly meeting is so important," he stated.
He added that one key change within and beyond the UN must be the empowerment of women and girls around the world, and highlighted his own roadmap for achieving gender parity.
He called for more female candidates to fill vacancies within the Organization, because gender parity would improve outcomes at the United Nations.
Despite a campaign to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons such as were used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki going back to the very beginning of the United Nations the General Assembly, the UN this year for the first time is taking up an agreement to prohibit the possession, development, testing, use and threat of use of nuclear weapons.
On July 7, 2017, 122 nations agreed (one voted against) – notably, the nine nations including the United States that already have nuclear weapons boycotted the proceedings. On September 20, a formal treaty will be presented for signature by the nations. . Fifty countries must sign and ratify the treaty for it to enter into force.
"The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons represents the total repudiation of nuclear deterrence by most of the states that don't possess or rely on nuclear weapons," United for Peace and Justice, UFPJ, stated. "But the US and the eight other nuclear-armed states boycotted the negotiations, along with Japan, Australia, South Korea and all but one of the 28 NATO member states (The Netherlands) – all countries under the US nuclear umbrella. In a joint statement following the vote, the US, France and the United Kingdom declared: "We do not intend to sign, ratify or ever become party to [the Treaty]." Meanwhile, nuclear tensions have risen to levels not seen for decades.
"While the Ban Treaty negotiations were taking place in the United Nations, two floors up in the same building, in an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, the United States was threatening military action against North Korea, in response to its July 4 missile test.
International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has once against declared September 26 an International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
"Achieving global nuclear disarmament is one of the oldest goals of the United Nations. It was the subject of the General Assembly's first resolution in 1946. After general and complete disarmament first came onto the General Assembly's agenda in 1959, nuclear disarmament has remained the most important and urgent objective of the United Nations in this field. Since 1975, it has been a prominent theme of the review conferences of States parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In 1978, the General Assembly's first Special Session on disarmament reaffirmed that effective measures for nuclear disarmament have the highest priority. And it has been supported by every United Nations Secretary-General," the UN stated.
"Yet today, some 15,000 nuclear weapons remain. Countries possessing such weapons have well-funded, long-term plans to modernize their nuclear arsenals. More than half of the world's population still lives in countries that either have such weapons or are members of nuclear alliances. As of 2016, while there have been major reductions in deployed nuclear weapons since the height of the Cold War, not one nuclear warhead has been physically destroyed pursuant to a treaty, bilateral or multilateral, and no nuclear disarmament negotiations are underway. Meanwhile, the doctrine of nuclear deterrence persists as an element in the security policies of all possessor states and their nuclear allies. This is so—despite growing concerns worldwide over the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the use of even a single nuclear weapon, let alone a regional or global nuclear war.

Isn't it always the case when it comes down to post season play. Hawaii was the team last year that got hot when the time was right in the WAC Tournament. This season, again, it was Fresno St. That was an offensive buzzsaw. And of course Kitamura and Alamadova had to get food poisoning on the last day when they had a potential double header. For all those who have gone through that hell of everything coming out at both ends, you know that they were down and out. I give credit to Piikea for playing that second game.
The team played above themselves for the most part and that they were able to do this well in the WAC season i s quite a feat. The offense was not consistent and Kolten Wong was at the mercy of the opposing pitchers as he did not have the hitting support around him in the lineup. It was great watching all their fantastic finishes.

Q: How to user session using database? A client asked me to use sessions to save in database, but not in the server.
Client's servers are 4 WAS servers, 12 DB Servers and 8 File Servers. They are all seperated servers and located in different location.
Since the user could jump to A WAS server to B WAS server, they wanted the session to be saved in the database, since it is more easier to get user's info.
But I have no clue at all of how to get and save the sessions to the database.
Is there any ways to do it? Any references? Any books? I seriously need help!

A: You can have a boolean attribute for each user, something like 'isLoggedIn' . Using filters or interceptors, for every request you can  check if he is already logged in or not. But, this process would make your application slow.
There are caches available which support clustering like Hazelcast cache. So, you can point all your WAS servers to a common hazelcast cache and store user login info in cache, instead of database, which will greatly increase the speed of your application.

And the story will run tomorrow if it makes A1; otherwise it will hold."

40 people sick after E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce
The agencies warn consumers, retailers, and restaurants not to purchase or sell romaine lettuce harvested in Salinas, California, about 59 miles south of San Jose, CNN reports.
Saturday, November 23rd 2019, 9:50 AM EST
CNN - A total of 40 people in 16 states have fallen ill after an E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The agencies warn consumers, retailers, and restaurants not to purchase or sell romaine lettuce harvested in Salinas, California, about 59 miles south of San Jose, CNN reports. The warning includes all types of romaine lettuce, according to a CDC tweet.
So far, 28 people were hospitalized, though no deaths were reported, according to the FDA. Wisconsin has had 10 cases, the most reported from the 16 states, the CDC said.

"If romaine lettuce does not have labeling information for its growing area or the source cannot be confirmed, consumers should not eat or use the romaine," said Frank Yiannas, FDA's deputy commissioner for food policy and response.
This outbreak was caused by the same E. coli strain that caused outbreaks in 2017 and 2018, according to Yiannas and the CDC.
This strain is known as the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, which can cause three to four days of sickness after swallowing the germ, the CDC said. Most people who swallow this strain experience possible bloody diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, and vomiting, the CDC said.
Recovery usually takes about a week, but the CDC said the strain can lead to longer and more severe illness.

Burnham Hundred is a hundred in the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, England.  It is situated towards the south of the county and is bounded on the north by Hertfordshire and on the south by Berkshire.

History
Until at least the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 there were 18 hundreds in Buckinghamshire. It has been suggested however that neighbouring hundreds had already become more closely associated in the 11th century so that by the end of the 14th century the original or ancient hundreds had been consolidated into 8 larger hundreds. Burnham hundred is one of three hundreds which became collectively known as the Chiltern hundreds around the 13th century, the others being Desborough hundred and Stoke hundred. Even before this time these individual hundreds had become possessions of the Crown and were nominally stewarded as a royal bailiwick. The hundreds lost their collective 'Chilterns' title having become separately leased though retaining their individual administrative status as Buckinghamshire hundreds. Meanwhile, appointment to the role of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds persisted as a procedural device to enable resignation from the House of Commons.

Parishes and hamlets
Burnham hundred comprised the following ancient parishes and hamlets, (formerly medieval vills):
