Q: chat application friend list I have 3 MySQL tables namely chat_comments, chat_friends and user_details and I want to display a friend list.
My tables:
chat_comments(comment_id,comment,user_id,user_id2,date_added)
chat_friends(user_id,user_id2,approved)
user_details(user_id, mainimage_id, fullname)

To do this, I need a query that will return the needed fields (u.mainimage_id, u.fullname, b.comment, b.user_id) so I can loop through the list to display a table.
SQL so far (help from @Andriy M):
SELECT
cc.comment,
cc.date_added,
u.fullname,
u.mainimage_id
FROM
user_details u
LEFT JOIN
    chat_comments cc
    INNER JOIN (
        SELECT
            user_id,
            MAX(comment_id) AS maxcomment
        FROM chat_comments WHERE user_id=2020 OR user_id2=2020
        GROUP BY user_id
    ) a ON a.user_id = cc.user_id
       AND a.maxcomment = cc.comment_id
ON a.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE u.user_id IN (
SELECT user_id2
FROM chat_friends
WHERE user_id = 2020
  AND approved = 1
)

The above query returns the last comment made by the logged-in user's friends in conversation not the last comment between the logged-in user and his/her friend regardless of who made it.
I would like it to return the last comment between the logged-in user and their friend individually regardless of who made it. In the chat_messages table, user_id is the sender and user_id2 is the receiver. Hope it makes sense?

A: Like @imm said in a comment, you need to use an outer join. In case of a left join, the user_details table should become the left side of the join, the right side being the result of your inner join of chat_comments with your a derived table. You'll also need to remove the user_id IN (…) condition from inside the a subselect and re-apply it to the user_details table. Here:
SELECT
    cc.comment,
    cc.date_added,
    u.fullname,
    u.mainimage_id
FROM
    user_details u
    LEFT JOIN
        chat_comments cc
        INNER JOIN (
            SELECT
                user_id,
                MAX(comment_id) AS maxcomment
            FROM chat_comments
            GROUP BY user_id
        ) a ON a.user_id = cc.user_id
           AND a.maxcomment = cc.comment_id
    ON a.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE u.user_id IN (
    SELECT user_id2
    FROM chat_friends
    WHERE user_id = 2020
      AND approved = 1
)
;

Alternatively, you could use a right join. In this case you would just need to move the user_id IN (…) condition, similarly to the LEFT JOIN solution above, and replace the second INNER JOIN with RIGHT JOIN:
SELECT
    cc.comment, cc.date_added, u.fullname, u.mainimage_id
FROM
    (
        SELECT user_id, MAX(comment_id) AS maxcomment
        FROM chat_comments
        GROUP BY user_id
    ) a
INNER JOIN
    chat_comments cc ON
        a.user_id = cc.user_id AND
        a.maxcomment = cc.comment_id
RIGHT JOIN
user_details u ON
 a.user_id = u.user_id
WHERE u.user_id IN (select user_id2 from chat_friends where user_id=2020 AND approved=1)

Do you want to allow users to filter posts and pages on your WordPress site? Recently, one of our users asked us how to add filters to their WordPress site allowing users to filter posts by category, tags, post types, etc. In this article, we will show you how to let users filter posts and pages in WordPress.
Why Let Users Filter Posts and Pages in WordPress?
By default, WordPress comes with categories and tags as a way for you to sort content into topics and for your users to easily find it.
However, users can only view one category, tag, or archive page at a time and it will only show one post type.
What if you wanted users to be able to filter content in more than one category or tag? How about allowing users to view posts, pages, and custom post types at the same time?
This kind of filtering can be particularly helpful when you have a lot of content, and you want users to filter it according to their own preferences.
Having said that, let's take a look at how to easily let users filter posts and pages in WordPress.
First thing you need to do is install and activate the Search & Filter plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, the plugin will add a new menu item labeled Search & Filter to your WordPress admin bar. Clicking on it will take you to the plugin's usage page with detailed documentation on how to use the plugin.
Search & Filter plugin comes with a shortcode which accepts different parameters to display the filtering options. You can use this shortcode in a post, page, or inside a text widget.
This will display the filtering options with search, category, and tags fields.
By default the plugin accepts search, taxonomy, post_type, and post_date as fields.
Let's take a look at another example. This time we will include category, tags, post types, and date fields.
Now instead of using drop down select field, you can also use checkboxes and add labels for each field. To do that, you will need to add two more parameters to the shortcode.
If you use a separate page to display your blog posts, then you can add this shortcode to the page.
If you are using multiple fields, types, and headings, then you need to make sure that items are in the same order for each parameter.
Let's see another example. This time we are adding category, tags, and post type fields with different headings and form field types.
Please refer to plugin's documentation page for more ways to use the shortcode.
You can also use these shortcodes inside a text widget. If the shortcode doesn't work in your text widget, then please see our guide on how to use shortcodes in your WordPress sidebar widgets.
We hope this article helped you learn how to let users filter posts and pages in WordPress. You may also want to see these actionable tips to drive traffic to your WordPress site.
Hi, I am using WordPress with Gantry.
I installed this plugin and used a shortcode. It appears where it suppose to be. When clicking the button to filter content, nothing happens. Did anyone face this problem? Help, please.
How can I create filter options in a single post?
For example, If I am interested in writing a post "Necessary Tools to Build A Website" and want to include filter options like Purpose Based Tools (like SEO, Design etc.) and the Price option (Free or Paid), how do I do it?
Great plugin, but have some limitations and bugs.
2. When I uncheck all checkboxes and press Submit, it transfers to the front page.
Maybe there's an option Show all?
I would like to know if it is possible to filter the search from the group of fields, created from the "Advanced Custom Fields – v. 4.4.12" plugin.
Also by default, the search would be restricted to a custom post type from the "Custom Post Type UI – v. 1.5.8" plugin.
Hi, I had created employ database on tablepress and i want to filter in front end employ according to year wise for example if i select 2013 this shows only those employ which join in 2013.
i have perform lot of research but i cant find free pluggin according to my need.
please help me for suggestion.
Thanks a lot for the comprehensive article. Do you know if it is also possible to have only certain tags in the dropdowns?
Great Job. just one last question. Instead of searching the post, is it possible to search category using the search string? I would like to show all the possible post in search page and then the category if it matches the search string (partially or fully).
I just wonder would the use of this plugin be recommended on a site with many posts? Will it not lead to slower load time?
For example tutorial on 10 tips and trick to masterize or customize Genesis Framework would be really really helpful.
In relation to the filters of new taxonomies, a question of initiation, how I can visualize in the post a new taxonomy for a second type of labels that later I can filter with this plugin?
It would be an interesting topic.
Your suggestions for allowing users to filter posts are welcome, but the explanation of how and where to insert the required shortcode is beyond this beginner's understanding.
You can add the shortcode in a post or page. If you want to display the filter site-wide then you will need to edit your WordPress theme files and use the template tag instead.

Dans une caméra de prise de vues cinématographique, qu'elle soit professionnelle ou d'amateurs, le viseur désigne l'équipement technique qui permet au cadreur de déterminer la façon dont il va filmer son sujet : angle de prise de vues, « grosseur » du plan, déplacements éventuels de la caméra, et par lequel il contrôle tous ces éléments durant la prise de vues.
On parle aussi de « visée », de « système de visée », le terme est surtout employé dans les cas de la « visée reflex » et de la « visée vidéo ».

Histoire

Les premières caméras de cinéma, la caméra Kinétographe de Thomas Edison et Dickson (1891), ou la caméra Cinématographe de Louis Lumière (1895) ne comportaient pas de viseur. Dickson et son assistant William Heise, aussi bien que Louis Lumière, ont repris la méthode utilisée pour les chambres photographiques : ils visaient directement à travers le cadre de la prise de vues, que l'on appelle communément la fenêtre de cadrage du film. Cette opération n'était possible que lorsque la caméra était vide et cette particularité ne gênait pas les pionniers du cinéma puisque à leurs yeux la photographie en mouvement n'était qu'un domaine de la photographie fixe. En effet, le photographe cadrait et faisait le point (rendre net) sur le verre dépoli placé au dos de son appareil, en s'aidant le plus souvent d'un voile noir qu'il coiffait pour s'isoler de la lumière ambiante.

Sur le dépoli, l'image était inversée de gauche à droite et de haut en bas. Une fois ces réglages terminés, il glissait au dos de la chambre un châssis contenant une plaque de verre enduite de produit photosensible protégée de la lumière par un volet amovible. Avant la prise de vue, ce volet était retiré, le photographe enlevait le bouchon qui obturait l'objectif, impressionnant ainsi la plaque. À l'issue du temps de pose qu'il avait calculé, il remettait le bouchon en place, repositionnait le volet amovible et enlevait le châssis porte plaque.

Les premiers cinéastes agissaient de la même façon, ils recouvraient d'un fragment de pellicule dépolie la fenêtre de prise de vues et faisaient le cadre et la mise au point sur ce fragment avant de le retirer. C'est alors et seulement alors qu'ils chargeaient leur caméra avec un bobineau de pellicule vierge d'une longueur moyenne de 15 à , soit moins d'une minute de prise de vues à la cadence de l'époque, qui était de 15 à .

Le négatif vierge était enfermé en laboratoire photo à l'abri de la lumière dans une petite boîte où il avait été replacé après la prise de vues. L'image latente pouvait alors être révélée et fixée en laboratoire photographique ; compte tenu de la longueur de la pellicule à traiter, elle était enroulée en spirale autour d'un cylindre en bois que l'on plongeait successivement dans les différents bains puis que l'on rinçait.

Types de viseurs

Lorsqu'ils filmaient, les mêmes cinéastes primitifs avaient à répondre à deux nécessités : tourner la manivelle au bon rythme  et maintenir fermement le trépied photographique où était posée la caméra, afin d'empêcher toute oscillation due à l'effort de la manivelle.

La nécessité de mieux contrôler le cadrage lors de la prise de vues amena dès les premières décennies d'existence du cinéma à doter les caméras de systèmes de visée de deux types, sommaires mais relativement efficaces :

Viseur sport
Le viseur sport s'apparentait au viseur d'une arme à feu, mais inversé. Il était composé d'un guidon placé du côté de l'opérateur, que celui-ci alignait avec le centre d'une lentille de visée, déterminé par le croisement des deux axes d'un réticule le plus souvent gravé sur la lentille. Ce système rudimentaire n'indiquait que la direction de la prise de vues, la détermination du cadrage selon le type d'objectif installé sur l'appareil restait du domaine du savoir-faire de l'opérateur, professionnel ou amateur. Le guidon présentait parfois plusieurs repères qui étaient autant de moyens de correction approximative de la parallaxe verticale.

Viseur clair
Le viseur clair était un perfectionnement évident du précédent, un tube identique à celui d'une longue-vue, muni à une extrémité d'un œilleton de visée et à l'autre d'une lentille donnant le grossissement de l'objectif utilisé. Comme le viseur sport, il était placé soit au sommet du boîtier de caméra, sa position au-dessus de l'axe de défilement de la pellicule corrigeant de fait la parallaxe gauche-droite, soit sur le côté, placé juste au niveau de la fenêtre de prise de vues, cette dernière position corrigeant de fait la parallaxe en hauteur. Tout changement d'objectif était accompagné d'un changement de la lentille du viseur clair.

Viseur interne

Pouvoir vérifier le cadrage à travers la fenêtre d'impression du mécanisme, y compris durant toute la prise de vues, semblait cependant la solution la plus fiable. Les caméras furent dès les premières années du  équipées d'un tube qui les traversait, d'avant en arrière, permettant de voir l'image qui parvenait de l'objectif, directement derrière la pellicule en mouvement que la lumière frappait et traversait. Chaque photogramme impressionné sur la surface photosensible était ainsi contrôlé dans ses deux dimensions. Ce procédé souffrait cependant d'un inconvénient de taille : son manque de clarté car la lumière qui atteignait la pellicule n'en ressortait à l'arrière qu'en faible partie, d'où le recours au  viseur clair, imprécis mais plus lumineux. Pour éviter toute entrée parasite de lumière par le dispositif de visée à travers la pellicule, le cadreur était obligé de se coiffer le haut du corps d'un voile noir épais.

Le Debrie Super-Parvo, qui succéda au Parvo, était aussi équipé d'un tube de visée arrière qui permettait de cadrer exactement et de bien mettre au point l'optique, mais ce système n'était disponible qu'à l'arrêt, car une amélioration des pellicules l'y obligea. En 1930, un produit dit « anti-halo » fut enduit sur le support avant d'y coucher la gélatine photosensible. Il était destiné à ne laisser passer aucune lumière parasite produite par les pièces mécaniques lisses et brillantes actionnant et conduisant le film,  susceptibles de renvoyer par l'arrière de la pellicule des effluves lumineux sur la gélatine. Ce produit devenait transparent lors du développement, mais, lors de la prise de vues, il avait l'aspect d'un fond gris opaque, il était impossible désormais de viser à travers le support. Le Super-Parvo offrait un procédé destiné à pallier en partie le problème. Lorsque la caméra était arrêtée, une poignée permettait de faire pivoter d'une vingtaine de degrés le bloc d'avance intermittente (griffes, couloir et film chargé) à l'intérieur du corps de la machine, et de viser et mettre au point sur un verre dépoli qui prenait automatiquement la place de ce bloc au foyer de l'objectif. Pour démarrer la prise de vues, il fallait bien entendu faire pivoter le bloc en sens inverse, perdant ainsi la possibilité de viser directement à travers l'objectif via la fenêtre de prise de vues. Cet inconvénient ne gênait pas les prises de vues, fixes pour la plupart d'entre elles dans le cinéma de l'époque. Un viseur à correction de parallaxe, installé sur le côté, autorisait les cadreurs à exécuter facilement les mouvements de caméra : panoramiques ou travellings.

Viseur à correction de parallaxe
Ce type de viseur était l'amélioration maximale du viseur clair, qui tenait compte des modifications apportées à la pellicule. Disposé cette fois sur le côté de la caméra, juste au niveau de la fenêtre de prise de vues, par sa position il était affranchi de toute parallaxe verticale. Bien qu'installé au plus près de l'objectif, lorsque les personnages se rapprochaient de la caméra ou lorsque celle-ci effectuait un travelling avant dans leur direction, le décalage entre ce que l'on pouvait voir par le viseur et ce qui était réellement impressionné sur la pellicule augmentait au fur et à mesure que l'on s'approchait. Cette correction de parallaxe horizontale était obtenue au moyen d'un réglage fin augmentant ou diminuant l'angle formé entre le viseur et l'axe de prise de vues. Dans les modèles professionnels, la manipulation des mollettes de correction du point, actionnées sur l'un ou l'autre des flancs de la caméra par le premier assistant opérateur lors du déplacement en profondeur des personnages, entraînait automatiquement le système de correction de parallaxe. Le cadreur vise en position haute, sans se pencher sur l'appareil, facilitant les mouvements fluides de la caméra par le jeu combiné de deux manivelles.

Viseur reflex
En 1937, Erich Kurt Kästner, un ingénieur travaillant pour le groupe Arnold & Richter, fabricant allemand de matériel de cinéma, développe une idée qui peut paraître aujourd'hui fort simple : incliner à 45° par rapport à l'axe optique, l'obturateur circulaire qui tourne derrière l'objectif juste devant la fenêtre de prise de vues, et le munir d'un miroir renvoyant l'image issue de l'objectif sur un prisme latéral qui renvoie à son tour l'image inversée dans un tube de visée placé sur le côté de la caméra. Le prisme opère en même temps un renversement de l'image inversée et le cadreur peut ainsi régler le cadre et le point sur une image remise à l'endroit. C'est ce qu'on appelle la « visée reflex » (déviation de l'image).
Ce viseur présente en plus l'avantage de découvrir une image plus large et plus haute que la fenêtre de prise de vues même (signalée dans le viseur par un cadre gravé) ; le cadreur a ainsi la possibilité de surveiller un espace restreint du hors-champ, ce qui lui permet de « voir arriver » les comédiens, lorsqu'ils doivent faire une « entrée de champ », et d'éventuellement ajuster son cadrage juste avant.

Plus tard, des systèmes équivalents ont été mis au point par la concurrence, et les dernières caméras argentiques ont pratiquement toutes été munies d'un viseur reflex.

Viseurs vidéo et LCD

Les techniques liées à la télévision, et notamment les tournages en vidéo, ont procuré aux caméras argentiques un accessoire de première importance : le viseur vidéo. Une caméra électronique remplace le tube de visée ou fonctionne en parallèle avec lui, permettant notamment au réalisateur, placé devant un moniteur de contrôle, de suivre le jeu des comédiens comme il sera montré en définitive par le talent interposé du cadreur. Le viseur vidéo a permis aussi le développement de systèmes particuliers de portage de la caméra : le steadicam, la louma, et tout autre procédé nécessitant le contrôle à distance du cadre et du point.

Les écrans LCD, plus légers, ont succédé aux moniteurs vidéo, le viseur étant incorporé directement à la visée reflex. Bien entendu, les caméras numériques actuelles sont non seulement équipées d'un viseur à l'usage exclusif du cadreur, mais permettent des branchements destinés à desservir dans leur fonction le réalisateur, le premier assistant opérateur, le directeur de la photographie, le chef opérateur du son, et toute autre personne dont le contrôle est requis durant la prise de vues (spécialiste des effets spéciaux par exemple).

Nominating a Fellow
Former Bolivian President to Deliver Montgomery Fellow Lecture July 26
Posted on July 22, 2011 by Bonnie Barber
Former President of Bolivia Eduardo Rodríguez Veltzé, who also served as chief justice of the Bolivian Supreme Court, is in residence summer term as a Montgomery Fellow. He will deliver a public lecture, "The Rule of Law and Justice: A Latin-American Perspective," on Tuesday, July 26, at 4:30 p.m. in Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall. Rodríguez is also teaching an undergraduate government course, "The Rule of Law: Latin America."

Rodríguez, who holds a degree in public administration from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, is currently dean of the School of Law and Political Science of the Universidad Católica Boliviana in La Paz, Bolivia. As fourth in the line of succession, Rodríguez, the then-Supreme Court Justice, assumed the presidency in June 2005 following the resignations of former president Carlos Mesa as well as the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. He served as president until January 2006, when current President Evo Morales was elected to the post.
As Montgomery Fellows usually do, Rodríguez has also been meeting with students outside of class, visiting classes of other professors, and meeting faculty. He spoke with Dartmouth Now in July about his class, what it was like for a non-politician to suddenly be thrust into power, and the philosophical ideas in Bolivia's new constitution.
"The Rule of Law: Latin America" (GOVT 84): "The idea of this course is to review what's going on down there, how democracy was re-established a few decades ago, how it evolved in different ways and different countries, and how the rule of law and justice is important for each one of these countries.
"Dartmouth students are very motivated. A number of them have been to Latin America, so that provides an extra input to class to have their impressions. And a few are from other countries, so that helps to give a comprehensive view of the subject matter."
It's lonely at the top: "When you're on the bench, hearing and solving cases, it's a very structured way of doing your job because everything follows a procedure. You do it in a very peaceful environment. … Whereas when you become president, you have a wide variety of things going on at the same time and not all of them have the structured, procedural way of being presented to you. It was quite a change.
"At the judiciary I was pretty lonely at my desk, but as president I had lots of people around and lots of meetings. But at the same time, I felt more loneliness because most of the things had to be decided just by myself. The loneliness of power was very present."
Bolivia's constitution and the good life: "We have a new constitution. It's very long, 412 articles. One of the philosophical ideas in this new constitution is the idea of 'live well' or 'live a good life.' That has been taken from indigenous peoples' cultural traditions. … We're transforming our traditional views. Human rights are not only important but also the rights of nature. We're into this idea of 'pachamama,' mother Earth. It's becoming a foundation for many politicians, that Mother Nature is as important or more important than humans. Can that be true at all? Are we complying with the rhetoric or is it just populism? What's the difference between having options or not having any and just having the necessary, basic things you need for survival? Many say that living well or having a good life is not having more, it's having enough. So that opens up fantastic discussions with students in class."
Connected by technology: "It's amazing how much technology has changed our lives. Even in the Bolivian rural areas, the poorest areas, there's always a way to get a computer or Internet connection. We've got Twitter and Facebook down there and it moves ideas very fast.
"I remember coming back from a meeting with indigenous people in a rural area and I was sitting on the bus next to one of the ancient leaders of the town. He said, 'I need you to give me a hand. I'm going downtown to La Paz to get a couple of laptops for my kids.' Even though they were in a very rural area, with a traditional indigenous population, he said they needed computers. These children will be global, and will have access to wider horizons in terms of ideas and opportunities."
Recommended reading: "Falling Behind: Explaining the Development Gap Between Latin America and the United States by Francis Fukuyama. It's a series of articles written by very interesting people that tries to explain why there's this gap between the U.S. and Latin America. I highly recommend it. The latest book by Mario Vargas Llosa is also a wonderful book, The Dream of the Celt."
Established in 1977, Dartmouth's Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment provides for "the advancement of the academic realm of the College" in ways that enhance the educational experience, in particular that offered to undergraduate students.

They carry the full Komenuka Bijin product line, which I love, their pricing is reasonable, and delivery outstanding. Plus they included free samples, which is always a nice surprise. I will definitely be shopping with TrueRenu again.
Thanks so much - the itching stopped after one use.


Local business and their success have always been of importance to me. Their importance likely stems from being raised in an agricultural environment, where small businesses often collaborate for a greater result, and further my sisters own small business. Seeing the folks who own and operate small businesses, busting their butts each and every day to gain progress and advance their management practices, is so commendable, and I feel as though small business owners often go without the recognition and appreciation they deserve.
As important as supporting local is, it's equally important to make an effort to find small businesses in your own area. So often I find myself coming across new local businesses in my own area, often times on social media, demonstrating their popularity and rising demand. However, these businesses can only flourish with our own support, hence why seeking out small businesses in our own towns and cities is so vital to their success.
I would argue no one can completely comprehend the demands of owning a small business unless they own one themselves. And that's fine. But we should make a conscious effort to commend these people and urge them to continue serving our families with complete and utter devotion. For example, if you happen to see an advertisement for a small business near you, make a mental note to stop in sometime and see what their passion consists of. Often times small businesses are dedicated to specific niche markets, and you just might find one that appeals considerably to you.
We need to collectively take a step back from large-scale corporations and manufacturers and use the money we give them on those who deserve it most – small business owners. They're our friends, family and neighbours, and they deserve our support as much as anyone else does, without a doubt.

La pampa (« plaine » en quechua) est un milieu naturel qui forme un biome du type prairies, savanes et brousses tempérées, ou extérieurs enneigés. C'est une plaine fertile recouverte d'herbes (à dominante de graminées) et presque dépourvue d'arbres.

On appelle également « les pampas » ou « la pampa » la vaste région géographique d'Amérique du Sud où ce milieu s'étend, qui couvre une zone de près de  incluant les provinces argentines de Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Santa Fe, Córdoba, l'Uruguay et le Rio Grande do Sul au Brésil. Ces vastes plaines sont seulement interrompues par la sierra de la Ventana près de Bahía Blanca (Argentine) à  de hauteur. En Argentine, cette coupure permet de distinguer deux grandes sous-régions, la « Pampa des plaines » et la « Pampa des vallées » (ou sierras). Il existe également en Argentine La Pampa, qui est l'une des provinces administratives actuelles de cette région géographique, naturelle, historique et culturelle.

Le climat est pluvieux de 600 à 1200 mm par an tout au long de l'année, faisant des sols appropriés à l'agriculture. On peut aussi distinguer, d'après la pluviosité, une pampa humide, au nord de Bahia Blanca, propice à l'agriculture et une pampa sèche qui s'étend vers la Patagonie.

Climat

Son climat, comme dans toutes les régions tempérées ou subtropicales humides, est naturellement changeant. Les hivers vont de frais à doux et les étés sont très chauds et humides.

Les précipitations sont assez uniformes tout au long de l'année, mais un peu plus abondantes en été. Les précipitations annuelles sont plus fortes près des côtes et décroissent régulièrement vers l'ouest, en direction de l'intérieur des terres. La pluie, dès la fin du printemps et en été, tombe sous forme d'averses brèves et puissantes et d'orages. Le reste de l'année, la plupart des pluies se produisent lorsque des dépressions tempétueuses forment des fronts froids actifs (i.e d'importantes perturbations pluvieuses).

En hiver, bien que le froid provoque souvent des gelées nocturnes, la neige est quasiment exclue. La plupart des hivers, il arrive que de très légères précipitations neigeuses se produisent dans les régions occidentales les plus éloignées de l'océan, mais la neige est tout à fait exceptionnelle près des côtes.

La flore : steppe et prairie

Des incendies fréquents font en sorte que seules les petites plantes comme l'herbe parviennent à pousser, et les arbres sont exceptionnels.

Les types de végétation dominants sont la prairie pérenne et la steppe herbeuse au sein desquelles les espèces herbacées du genre Stipa (Poaceae) sont particulièrement remarquables. L'« herbe des pampas » (Cortaderia selloana), une autre graminée, est l'espèce symbole des pampas. La végétation se compose typiquement d'herbes pérennes (présentes toute l'année, hiver comme été). Différentes zones et différents types d'herbe apparaissent, liés au gradient de disponibilité en eau.

Les pampas sont le domaine d'une grande variété d'espèces autochtones, bien qu'il y ait une absence quasi-absolue d'arbres endémiques, excepté le long des cours d'eau importants. Une exception cependant :  l'ombú ou belombra, un arbre herbacé de taille énorme, voire disproportionnée, était à l'origine la seule interruption dans ce paysage monotone.

La faune

Les pampas connaissent une importante richesse en espèces. Les animaux qui peuplent la pampa se sont au fil du temps adaptés à la vie au sein de vastes étendues de prairies venteuses. Bien des animaux sont allés vivre sous terre pour échapper aux prédateurs. Il existe même une espèce de hibou qui construit son nid dans des terriers.

Le monde animal est surtout constitué d'oiseaux, avant tout de Fringillidae et d'ongulés herbivores comme le guanaco, sorte de lama. Les nandous et les loups à crinière peuplent également les pampas. On y trouve même des capybaras, les plus grands rongeurs au monde.

Beaucoup d'espèces sont menacées d'extinction de par les activités humaines ; outre 15 espèces végétales, il y aurait 15 espèces de rongeurs et 20 d'oiseaux qualifiées d'espèces en danger.

Agriculture
L'Argentine centrale s'enorgueillit d'activités agricoles performantes et prospères, avec des cultures poussant sur les pampas au sud et à l'ouest de Buenos Aires, jusqu'à Córdoba. En particulier, les quantités récoltées sur les surfaces consacrées au soja sont en voie d'établir un record, d'après les Services d'alimentation et d'agriculture. Une bonne partie de ces superficies de haute fertilité sont également utilisées pour l'élevage du bétail en prairie, essentiellement bovin.

Ces régions agricoles de haute productivité (des pampas modifiées par l'homme) sont particulièrement susceptibles d'inondations après de fortes chutes de pluie. Ainsi, en , il y aurait eu  inondés dans les pampas argentines. Buenos Aires enregistra environ  de précipitations ce mois-là, ce qui constitue plus du double de la moyenne normale.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A Georgia Tech official said there is no change in status for women's basketball coach MaChelle Joseph, who was put on administrative leave on Feb. 27.
Assistant coach Mark Simons, who has been guiding the Yellow Jackets in Joseph's absence, spoke out in support of her after the team's 80-73 loss to North Carolina in the ACC tournament Thursday.
"This is her team. She was the leader of this team, not me," Simons said. "She put this team together. She recruited this team. Those two kids [Elizabeth Balogun and Elizabeth Dixon] that were on the [ACC] all-freshman team, one being freshman of the year [Balogun], those were her kids. She's my friend. She's my boss and the reason I came to Tech."
Georgia Tech associate athletic director and senior woman administrator Joeleen Akin said that there is no timetable for announcing a decision about Joseph's future with the program.
"There's nothing that we can say except that we're just trying to move as thoroughly and swiftly as possible," Akin said. "Because it's a personnel issue, we don't want to comment on anything."
Joseph, a former Purdue standout as a player, is in her 16th season as head coach of the Yellow Jackets. Her attorney, Lisa Banks, said last week that Joseph has not been told the specifics of why she was put on leave, and called it an "act of retaliation" for Joseph, raising concerns about gender equity issues in the school's athletic department.
Two players who had started throughout this season, junior Francesca Pan and sophomore Kierra Fletcher, have missed the Yellow Jackets' last three games. They last played Feb. 24 in a loss at Virginia. Contacted by espnW, Fletcher said she was not allowed to speak with the media about her situation.
Akin said the players' status remains that they are away from the team due to personal reasons.
Former Georgia Tech player Antonia Peresson said she was fired from her job as administrative assistant on Friday. She told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the reason was she had a private conversation with one of the Georgia Tech student-athletes, which she said had been forbidden by the administration.
Simons is in his second stint as an assistant at Georgia Tech; he previously worked there for Joseph from 2006 to 2008. He has also been an assistant women's coach at Michigan State and head men's coach at Elon, among other stops in a 35-year coaching career.
"These kids were really resilient," Simons said of the Yellow Jackets' response to the absence of Joseph, Pan and Fletcher. "Some kids had to play that hadn't ordinarily played and increased their minutes and so on. I thought these kids stay focused. Our practices have been good.
"This is really a great group of kids, and they did an awesome job of staying the course: blinders on, let's go forward. Let's slide in the back door of the NCAA tournament somehow."
Georgia Tech fell to 17-13 with Thursday's loss and is considered out of the running now for an NCAA tournament at-large bid. But the Yellow Jackets could compete in the WNIT, as they have the past four seasons.
Akin was asked if the school would accept a WNIT invitation, in light of what's going on with Joseph.
"We don't have to decide that right now," Akin said. "We'll assess the situation and talk about it as an administration and with the team. We'd like to see what the team is thinking. We need to look at everything.
"We're really here for these kids; these kids are very important to us. We just want to talk through things with them."

Q: What does this type of generic class in Java means? I already know the basics of Generics in Java but this one confuses me...
What does this mean in Java?
public class SampleClass<Integer> {
    ....
}

public class UserClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SampleClass<String> s = new SampleClass<>();
    }
}

this one compiles without errors.
I thought that when you are creating a generic class in java, you only have to use a single capital letter in doing it. For example:
public class SampleClass<T>  {
    ....
}

But why does java allows constructing a generic class with a specific type parameter, like the first one I've written which uses an Integer type parameter?
And why is it that when I instantiated the SampleClassin UserClass, it accepts a String type as a type parameter when I constructed the class SampleClass type parameter as Integer? I thought this was going to trigger an error since the SampleClass was constructed with an Integer type parameter.
Can someone please enlighten me on this one? I'm a little confused with this. Thanks...

A:
I thought that when you are creating a generic class in java, you only have to use a single capital letter in doing it.

That is incorrect.
The Java Language Specification allows you to use any identifier for the generic type variables.  Use of a single capital letter (or a very short all-caps name) is just a Java style convention, albeit an important one.
So in your example, you have used Integer as the name of the type variable.  That is liable to cause confusion for someone reading your code, and problem for you if you also needed to refer to the standard Integer class within SampleClass.

A: The convention is to use a single letter for type variables, but that's not a requirement; type variables can be any Java identifier. (ID as a type variable is a frequent exception to the convention.) You're declaring a type variable named Integer that is shadowing java.lang.Integer.

A: As other have already pointed out you used Integer where one would normally use T for Type, just like one would normally use conventional
K for key
E for element
V for value
It's just a convention. Also it's pretty common to use the S, U, V if there are more generic type parameters
If you want to set bounds on your generic class so that it only accepts numeric types then you would use something like this
class SampleClass<T extends Number>{}

Home / AFRICA / Tunisia, eight years on from its Arab Spring revolt
Tunisia, eight years on from its Arab Spring revolt
The Independent October 11, 2019	AFRICA, NEWS ANALYSIS Leave a comment
Tunisian workers shout slogans against the government in front of the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) headquarters in Tunis on January 14, 2018.
Tunis, Tunisia | AFP | Ahead of Sunday's presidential runoff vote, here is a recap of key developments in Tunisia since its 2011 revolution.
– President flees –
Demonstrations erupt in central Tunisia in December 2010 after the self-immolation of a fruit seller protesting police harassment and unemployment.
After weeks of unrest in which 338 people are killed, dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali flees in January 2011, ending 23 years in power.
He is the first leader to be toppled by the Arab Spring, which spreads through the region like wildfire.
– Victory for Islamists –
In October 2011, Tunisia's first free election sees Islamist group Ennahda win 89 of 217 seats in a new constituent assembly.
The assembly elects former opposition leader Moncef Marzouki as president in December. Hamadi Jebali, Ennahda's number two, is charged with forming a government.
– Attacks, unrest –
In April 2012, police clash with thousands of jobless protesters in the southwestern mining belt.
More violent demonstrations follow in June and August, and jihadists stage attacks.
In September, hundreds of demonstrators attack the US embassy, in protest at an online US-made film that mocked Islam.
A series of strikes and demonstrations affect industry, public services, transport and business, with unrest mostly in the economically marginalised interior.
– Opposition leaders killed –
In February 2013, prominent leftist opposition leader Chokri Belaid is assassinated in Tunis.
In July, fellow leftist Mohamed Brahmi is also shot dead.
Islamic State (IS) group jihadists claim both killings.
– Democratic transition –
In January 2014, a new constitution is adopted, a year later than planned. A government of technocrats is formed and Islamists withdraw from power.
In October, the secular Nidaa Tounes party led by Beji Caid Essebsi comes top in parliamentary polls and forms a coalition with Ennahda.
Two months later, Essebsi wins Tunisia's first free presidential election.
– String of attacks –
In 2015, Tunisia suffers three attacks claimed by IS militants.
The attacks leave 72 dead, mostly foreign tourists and security personnel, including at the Bardo museum in Tunis and a coastal resort.
In 2016, jihadists attack security installations in a town on the Libyan border, killing 13 members of the security services and seven civilians.
– Fresh protests –
In January 2016, a new wave of protests erupts after the death of a young unemployed man in a demonstration.
In May, the International Monetary Fund green lights a new four-year loan of $2.9 billion.
In January 2018, protests erupt after an austerity budget takes effect.
– Political instability –
Essebsi in September announces the end of his party's alliance with Ennahda, which had been part of a unity government since 2016.
In July 2019, the ailing Essebsi dies aged 92, months before the end of his term.
In August a newcomer to the political arena who is running for president in elections set for the following month, Nabil Karoui, is arrested on charges of money laundering.
He nonetheless comes second in the first round of the vote in September, with nearly 16 percent behind independent law professor Kais Saied who has 18 percent.
In legislative elections on October 6, Ennahda takes the most seats — 52 out of 217 — but far short of the 109 needed to govern.
In a further twist, Karoui is released from jail on October 9, days ahead of the presidential runoff vote.

A scholar of international law and constitutional law, Martinez also chaired the law school's Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion in 2018.
Martinez will assume her new position April 1. She succeeds M. Elizabeth Magill, who is stepping down as dean to become provost of the University of Virginia.
Martinez, professor of law and the Warren Christopher Professor in the Practice of International Law and Diplomacy, is a senior fellow (by courtesy) of Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. She also is a faculty affiliate of Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation and Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law.
An experienced litigator as well as a scholar, Martinez teaches courses on constitutional law, civil procedure, international law and international business transactions. Both in her earlier career and in her academic work at Stanford, Martinez has focused on the role of legal institutions, historical and contemporary, in supporting and protecting human rights. She is the author of The Slave Trade and the Origins of International Human Rights Law and numerous articles in leading academic journals.
In 2018, Martinez chaired a Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion, consisting of faculty, students and staff, convened to recommend ways of strengthening the student experience at Stanford Law School. The group made immediate recommendations that the school adopted, including creating a diversity and inclusion cabinet, improving outreach to prospective and admitted students, and establishing a speaker series on identity and bias. The group also made longer-term recommendations, also accepted, in the areas of climate, curriculum, admissions, faculty appointments and data collection in the school.
"Jenny Martinez is not only an exceptional scholar and gifted teacher, but has been a spectacular citizen at the law school who has played a pivotal role in the school's important recent initiatives on promoting diversity and inclusion, and providing pathbreaking global learning opportunities for our students," said Jane Schacter, professor of law and co-chair, with Drell, of the search committee for the new dean. "She has a naturally collaborative style of leadership and a vibrant vision for Stanford Law School's role in a rapidly changing world.
Martinez holds a bachelor's degree from Yale University and earned her JD at Harvard Law School. She clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer and Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Martinez also was associate legal officer for Judge Patricia Wald of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague, where she worked on trials involving genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Martinez is a member of the American Law Institute and serves as a member of the U.S. State Department's Advisory Committee on International Law. She and her husband have three children and are active in the local community.

DHS puts the kibosh on saying 'pilot' as it deals with new congressional reporting requirements
There is a new unwritten rule at the Department of Homeland Security these days: Don't use the word pilot or demonstration program in public or in official documents.
Seems a little odd?
Calling something a pilot in government is like shaking someone's hand when you first meet them. It's a well-worn and appreciated custom.
But at DHS these days, the words are verboten thanks to a little noticed provision in the Department of Homeland Security's...
But at DHS these days, the words are verboten thanks to a little noticed provision in the Department of Homeland Security's section of the fiscal 2022 omnibus spending bill.
Yes, Congress included in new language that requires DHS to submit a report on any pilot or demonstration program that "uses more than 5 full-time equivalents or costs in excess of $1 million."
That requirement has caused a lot of consternation across DHS during fiscal 2022, according to multiple sources.
"This caught a lot of folks by surprise. It wasn't seen until mostly after the fact that this was going to be problematic for the department after reading it," said Chris Cummiskey, the former acting undersecretary for management at DHS and currently CEO of Cummiskey Strategic Solutions. "This is going potentially stifle the innovation that you often get with pilots to test out different approaches. It will apply limitations on advancing the pilots without approval from appropriators and that will make it difficult to operate these programs."
To be clear, lawmakers aren't forbidding any pilots or demonstration programs, but they do want a lot more data from DHS than they had been getting.
"Congress doesn't know if there are a lot of programs. It had become apparent to some members of Congress over time DHS was doing things that were pilot in nature and they would ask questions like what are the metrics or goals or time frames, how many personnel are involved and at what point will it go from a pilot to regular operations," said a source familiar with the provision, who requested anonymity to speak about the House Appropriations Committee's thinking. "Very consistently, Congress would not get the responses and that there didn't seem to be a lot of forethought or a lot of documented language about the pilots."
So House appropriators added a host of new requirements for DHS to address in their reports that are due 30 days before the pilot or demonstration program begins, including:
Objectives that are well-defined and measurable;
An assessment methodology that details — the type and source of assessment data; the methods for and frequency of collecting such data; and how such data will be analyzed;
An implementation plan, including milestones, a cost estimate, and schedule, including an end date; and
A signed interagency agreement or memorandum of agreement for any pilot or demonstration program involving the participation of more than one Department of Homeland Security component or that of an entity not part of such department.
The source said DHS shouldn't have been surprised by the provision. Lawmakers included similar language in the 2021 appropriations bill, but it ended up being only in the statement language versus being statutory in 2022.
"The department ignored it in 2021. Now it could've been a new administration coming in late and not having access to transition stuff when they should've and it stopped them from hitting the ground running. But lawmakers also wanted to make a point that this was something they wanted DHS to do," the source said. "There were a lot of conversations in 2021 about the statement and lawmakers didn't get a lot of feedback from DHS about the 2022 language. They seemed to say they could execute on the request."
Multiple requests to DHS for comments about the provision and its impact were not returned.
Senate Appropriations Committee spokesman said the provision originated in the House.
"Its purpose is to provide oversight of 'pop-up' pilot programs at DHS, which typically did not track performance and impacts but largely acted as a justification for expanding the pilot itself," the spokesman said.
Threshold for pilots is low
Cummiskey and other former DHS executives say the data call and putting together the reports shouldn't be a huge lift for agency leaders.
Rafael Borras, the former DHS undersecretary for management and now president and CEO of the Homeland Security and Defense Business Council, said Congress created a low threshold for reporting and it will cover quite a large number of programs. But, at the same time, he said it shouldn't too difficult to pull that information together.
"If you own the pilot or demonstration program, you should have that information available. The bigger question is why does Congress want the information and how will they use it," Borras said. "Congress may not look at 100 reports, but they will look at the one or two and that may create some challenges for DHS."
Cummiskey estimated it could be as many 40 different pilot or demonstration programs across the entire agency.
Troy Edgar, the former CFO for DHS and now a partner for federal finance and supply chain transformation with IBM Consulting, said another concern is how these requirements will slow down pilot work, which, in turn, can slow down departmental transformation and modernization.
He said the five full-time equivalents and $1 million thresholds seem low for an agency with a budget of over $82 billion.
Provision not about stopping innovation
Borras added that his big concern is adding this to the dozens, or even, hundreds, of other reporting requirements DHS already has to deal with.
"The department must uncover what is root of this and then address the root problems Congress is worried about," he said. "If it is because they are not transparent and open enough, the DHS must deal with that. A simple report from the undersecretary for management doesn't get at the root issue."
The source said lawmakers want DHS to be innovative and to transform, but have the discipline and rigor associated with spending millions of dollars.
"It's the kind of discipline that the department needs to make sure it has when it does a pilot. It has to make sure these pilots are effective in way DHS can learn whether or not the pilot achieved the goals intended," the source said. "It's beside the point if lawmakers look at all of them, but if it's hundreds I think we all would be surprised. But lawmakers will look at some of them and ensure the requirements are institutionalized in a way that will result in better pilots going forward."
The fact that the language isn't "punitive" or a reaction to something DHS did, as some experts surmised, is a positive thing.
The question Borras, Cummiskey and others asked is whether requiring reports will have the intended affect Congress wants, which is better oversight, accountability and general management of pilot programs. It's unclear whether new reporting requirements, by themselves, in any federal management realm really changed agency behavior.

Carriera
Nel 2001 si classifica al quinto posto nella classe 125 del campionato Italiano Velocità e, nelle due stagioni successive, vince il titolo. La sua carriera nel motociclismo internazionale ha avuto inizio con la partecipazione per alcuni anni al campionato Europeo Velocità della classe 125; nell'edizione del 1999 è giunto quattordicesimo, nel 2000 quarto e nel 2002 sedicesimo.

Per quanto riguarda le competizioni del motomondiale, il suo debutto è avvenuto nella stagione 2001 a Valencia in 125 a bordo di una Rieju, senza riuscire a concludere la gara per incidente. Nella stagione 2002 ha gareggiato per due volte alla guida di una Honda del team Semprucci Angaia Racing in sostituzione di Noboru Ueda, raccogliendo 2 punti in classifica mondiale.

L'anno successivo ha corso come pilota titolare per lo stesso team, che ha schierato però delle Malaguti 125, ottenendo 10 punti al termine della stagione. Nel motomondiale 2004, passato al team Metis Gilera Racing con la Gilera 125 GP, ha ottenuto il suo primo podio in occasione del GP del Giappone. Il motomondiale 2005 è stato il migliore della sua carriera, riuscendo a giungere al 6º posto stagionale alla guida di una Honda RS 125 R nel team Kopron Racing World con 3 piazzamenti sul podio in stagione.

Nel 2006 ha corso nuovamente con una Honda nel team Valsir Seedorf Racing e con Michele Conti quale compagno di squadra, giungendo in terza posizione nel GP di Francia. L'anno successivo è salito di categoria passando alla classe 250, correndo il motomondiale 2007 in sella ad una Aprilia RSV 250 del team Campetella Racing, squadra con cui è rimasto anche nel 2008, utilizzando però motociclette marchiate Gilera.

Nel 2009 ha partecipato al campionato mondiale Supersport con una Honda CBR600RR del team Echo CRS Grand Prix. Il 25 maggio 2009, dopo sei gare disputate ed un ventesimo posto come miglior risultato a Kyalami, è stato sostituito da Fabrizio Perotti.

Nel 2010 ha partecipato al campionato italiano Supersport sempre con la Honda CBR600RR del team Echo CRS. Nello stesso anno ha preso parte a tre prove del mondiale Superbike come sostituto di Broc Parkes, con lo stesso team con cui ha corso in ambito nazionale. Ha ottenuto 2 punti, frutto di un 14º posto in gara 2 nel gran premio d'Italia ad Imola, classificandosi ventottesimo nel mondiale piloti.

Nel 2011 ha partecipato con il team Echo Sport Racing al campionato italiano Superbike concludendo al 7º posto e, come wild card, al gran premio di Monza del mondiale Superbike, ottenendo un punto in gara 2. Ha in seguito sostituito il pilota Rubén Xaus del team Castrol Honda, infortunato, nel GP di Silverstone.

Al termine del campionato italiano Superbike 2012, grazie a 5 podi su 6 gare, ottiene il quarto posto con la Ducati 1198 del team Althea Racing by Echo. Nel 2013 partecipa al campionato italiano Superbike con la Kawasaki del Team Pedercini; per lo stesso team corre anche il Gran Premio di Monza del mondiale Superbike con la Ninja ZX-10R, in sostituzione dell'infortunato Alexander Lundh, mentre a Magny-Cours sostituisce l'infortunato Max Neukirchner sulla Ducati 1199 Panigale R del team MR-Racing. Disputa le ultime gare nel CIV nelle stagioni 2017 e 2018 conquistando alcuni punti.
Nel 2021 prende parte alle ultime 2 gare della Coppa Italia Velocità sul circuito del Mugello nella categoria  Pirelli Cup 1000 dove in gara 1 conquista un 4º posto mentre in gara 2 conquista un 2º posto

Parallelamente all'attività in pista, nel 2010 inaugura una propria concessionaria di motociclette a Bareggio.

THINKING MACHINES FORESHADOWS SUN PARALLEL BOX IN REORGANISATION
Despite having abandoned manufacture of its massively parallel systems, Thinking Machines Corp, now in Bedford, Massachusetts, believes it can build a new business from the ashes of the old, and has filed a reorganisation plan that it says is supported by its creditors, which would enable it to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if the court approves it. It admits that it will be a vastly different company, planning to sell commercial software for computers made by others, and the first product, to be available at the end of the first quarter of 1996, will be a parallel processing server using Sun Microsystems Inc's UltraSparc processors, which according to Dow Jones & Co will be sold by Sun, at prices under $1m. It now has 180 staff, down from 425 at peak, and it says it has been profitable at the operating level for the past four quarters, but sales will be about $30m, down from $90m in 1991. The reorganisation plan calls for creditors to receive $33m of the $40m, and to raise the money, Thinking Machines plans to form a company to hold its patents, which will be owned by the creditors until they are paid off through licensing fees, expected to take three or four years. The former shareholders then get 80% of the patent company, Thinking Machines the rest. Once it is out of the hands of the court, it aims to raise $10m of new money from equity owners and new investors who will then own 75%; creditors will own 17.5% stake, leaving just 7.5% for existing shareholders.

No @*#* Sherlock
Gary· January 19, 2007
The first glimpse of a new product from Palm, Inc. has emerged. Well…Maybe.
Today, Engadget leaked what might be a roadmap for Sprint's entire product line for 2007. There are model numbers from various manufacturers and not much else – but it does give some hints about upcoming models.
One thing that stuck out was a new offering from Palm called: 'Palm Sherlock'. Unfortunately, beyond its listed release date of June, there's no additional information.
Is This Jeff Hawkins' secret Project?
Over the past year or so, Jeff Hawkins, Palm's co-founder, has made several references to his company's plans to create a mysterious third product category that's neither a handheld or smartphone.
Not surprisingly, Engadget's article has created speculation that the Sherlock will be this device. What it exactly is…we just don't know.
Of course, it's also entirely possible that this device, if real, will simply be an updated version of one of Palm's current smartphones, especially as this information is supposedly coming from a wireless carrier.
Stay tuned and we will try to get the full @*#* on the Sherlock.
Hints and Suggestions
Last year, Hawkings had an interview with the Portland Business Journal, all Hawkins would say was:
'I always think of mobile computing as personal computing. This long-term vision has led us through everything — first the organizers and now through the smart phone space. It's like everything a personal computer is. Continue down that path. What are the implications of a world where everyone has a super high-speed Internet connection in their pocket and many gigabytes of storage, super-fast processors, audio, visual and multimedia? What are the consequences of that? How will that change computing when you have all that stuff available to you all the time? I try to think into the future. That's how we come up with new products. So I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it's following the consequences of mobile computing.'
Hopefully, we won't have to wait until June to find out what 'Sherlock' really is.

As data collection becomes more popular, management of that data — what information is actionable, and what actions should be taken — becomes an important consideration. DataZeo is dedicated to refining meter reading, field operations, and customer communication.
"The data is only presented when it matters. You don't just show all the data; you show the data that people need so that they can perform whatever function they need to. A very simple case of that is what we call our 'Certified Reads' product," explains Scott Wills of DataZeo.
Certified Reads provides a GPS stamp and time stamp when anomalies are detected, and also prompts field personnel to document with photographs and even perform actions such as leave a door hanger for the customer. The information can also be communicated back to the customer in the form of an e-mail or as a stuffer in their monthly statement.
Whether for AMI or manual meters, DataZeo has developed methodologies to simplify O&M and consumer engagement.

Got a question or comment about Transport in Abuja? Ask a Travel Expert!
Although much less chaotic and stressful than Lagos, it is still not recommended that travellers drive themselves around Abuja. Tourists to Abuja who will be doing a lot of travelling around the city should look into hiring a private driver along with a rental car. The pre-planned nature of the city's design and its relative compactness make certain areas easy to explore on foot, but this should not be done alone or after dark. Private taxis in Abuja are generally safe; motorcycle taxis (okada) tend to be less so. Visitors may find that taxi drivers in Abuja are not always familiar with all parts of the city; it is a good idea to carry a good map and to point out your desired destination to your driver.

Minnesota winters can be aggressive and you're probably wondering how to revive your lawn after all the snow melts. Caring for your lawn in the springtime will yield a much greener and healthier yard for longer. One thing to make sure you do early spring is fertilize and water your lawn. Fertilizing will replenish any nutrients that the soil may have lost. The grass in your yard has been frozen and dormant for the past three to four months. It is absolutely begging for a nice meal and cool drink to start the summer out right.
Another thing to make your yard just that much better than your neighbors is removing the thatch. Thatch is a layer of mostly dead grass that accumulates around the base of the grass. This stuff is good to clear up during the spring because it builds up over the course of the year and can be bad news to your living grass. To remove it, first determine whether you can get the job done with a simple rake or a specialized thatching rake. Take a small core out of your lawn with a shovel or trowel and if the thatch is under an inch, you are most likely good to use a regular rake. If the thatch is any more than about an inch I would use a thatching rake.
You can also cover patches of dirt with sod. Sod is the layer of dirt beneath the grass where it is growing. They usually come in rolls or patches, which you can then lay down on the bare part of your lawn. It is important to fit the patch as perfect as you can, so it can bond correctly with the underlying dirt as well as the grass surrounding the area. Make sure you water it thoroughly and often until it fully bonds with your lawn.

We've had quite a rapid change in weather here in Melbourne this past week. We've gone from wearing sandals and shorts to boots and jackets! No doubt it will rise again but the change in temperature has made me realise my autumn/winter wardrobe is lacking some essentials and I need to dust off my sewing machine quick sharp.
One garment on my 'To Sew' list is a jacket for those cooler days. Here are a few of my favourites.

PRESS RELEASE - Vague promises won't solve global crises
On 16 July, this year's virtual UN High-level Political Forum (HLPF) on sustainable development came to an end. The HLPF is the premier UN body to monitor the annual progress on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated inequalities and further endangered development gains already at risk prior to the global pandemic.
ONLINE | Launch of CDP Paper: National Reports on the 2030 Agenda: What do they (not) reveal?
Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, member states and civil society have reported on the progress made in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Monday, July 13, 2020, 8:00 am to 9:00 am (EDT).

Rights: COVID-19 dashing hopes of ending poverty by 2030, says UN expert
The COVID-19 pandemic will push 176 million more people into extreme poverty and dash hopes of eradicating extreme poverty by 2030.
This is one of the main conclusions highlighted in a report presented by Mr Olivier De Schutter, the new UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, to the 44th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council this week. The report was prepared by his predecessor Mr Philip Alston.

2020 High Level Political Forum
The 2020 High Level Political Forum (HLPF) will take place from 7 to 16 July. The event, which typically takes place at UN Headquarters in New York City, will now take place in an entirely virtual format, with some official sessions being live-streamed here and other unofficial or side events taking place as webinars on Zoom, WebEx and other videoconferencing platforms.
Rights: Is regional solidarity lost in Latin America?
During a publicly live-streamed dialogue with former Brazilian President Lula da Silva last Friday, Argentinian president Alberto Fernandez said he misses the regional solidarity that Latin America had when he was Chief of Cabinet of President Nestor Kirchner back in 2003.
"Now it's only Andres Manuel [Lopez Obrador] in Mexico and me" he explained, after Lula's description of the close ties he had as president with many other heads of State in the region and how they dared to say "no" to US president George W. Bush's proposal of a Free Trade Area of the Americas in 2005.
2020 HLPF, one decade to go: tinkering or transformation?
Preparations are underway for the 2020 High-level Political Forum (HLPF) and review of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Member States are engaged in negotiations to adopt by consensus a Political Declaration and 47 have undertaken Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) for presentation at the HLPF. The UN system has issued a number of reports containing analyses and assessments of progress towards the SDGs. In addition to contributing to these processes and reports, major groups have issued a range of analyses and demands.
COVID-19 and the SDGs
The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the global sustainability agenda
The COVID-19 pandemic and the policies with which governments have responded to it have had a serious impact on the global sustainability agenda. While the full extent of the pandemic and its impacts cannot yet be assessed, there is an evident risk that the pandemic will jeopardize the achievement of the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their entirety.

The UN has released a three phase plan for re-opening the United Nations, releasing information on what the "new normal" will look like for Member States, UN Staff and other stakeholders. The plan indicates:
UN Monitor #16: "All protocols observed"
A new phrase has gained traction in inter-governmental deliberations at the UN in the virtual world ushered in by COVID-19: "All protocols observed". Many Member States begin their statements with this phrase that replaces the formality of recognizing lists of colleagues and Member States.
Additionally, COVID-19 has given momentum to the development of an "omnibus" UN General Assembly resolution titled: Comprehensive and Coordinated Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This has the potential to advance initiatives and new approaches and thinking. It also has the potential to overtake, bypass, reverse or replace the outcomes of policy deliberations separately negotiated and/or not housed explicitly in the COVID-19 Pandemic track.
