We've all obsessed about the "optimal" SaaS trial model. 30-day? 14-day? Freemium. Last week we decided to look at the data for some answers. We took 9 SaaS companies with different models and trial lengths and studied their conversion rates. Our observations: 1. After about 40 days the cumulative conversion rate for different trial lengths and freemium all hit about 80%. 2. 50% of SaaS conversions happen AFTER the trial ends. Customers continue to convert 6 months after a trial ends. 3. SaaS companies with an "S" shaped cumulative conversion graph have the best opportunity to accelerate revenue with behavior based conversions. Our conclusions/suggestions: There doesn't seem to be anything magical about the length of a free trial because different customers convert and adopt at different rates. Rather than look for the optimal, 1-size-fits-all trial length convert based on a customers' qualification and behavior. Then use the timed-trial to create purchasing incentive.
Great article! Our company has been discussing the trial period length lately, and is hard to come up with this "magic number".
However, this analysis is based on the assumption that the trial period length does not influence the number of potential customer. In other words, they all might come to 80% of total subscriber after 40 days, but maybe 80% of subscriber for a 14-days trial would differ from a 30-days trial.
Would be interesting to find out how big that difference is!

Get ready to jump high, duck and dive as you take on the Rush Wipeout!
Putting your hand-eye coordination and agility to the test, the Rush Wipeout is guaranteed to challenge you as you duck under or jump over the rotating arms. Think you've passed the test? Think again!
The Rush Wipeout is seriously addictive and much harder than it looks! Take your eye off the ball for a moment and you could be knocked off your feet as the rotating arms speed up. Access to the Wipeout is included in your open jump session.
Take your place inside the inflatable arena and challenge your family, friends or colleagues to a game. The Wipeout is a real winner at our children's trampoline parties and adult fitness classes. The last person standing is the winner.
Height Restricted Activity: you must be 1.25m in height to use the Rush Wipeout.
I have a pair of non-slip socks from another trampoline park, can I use those?
Unfortunately not. The purchase of Rush Non-Slip Socks is compulsory, even if you have socks from another trampoline park. They are specifically made for our trampolines and we have control over the quality and fit to provide customers with a better bounce experience. We request Rush branded socks because the colours on the grip are made to match our equipment. Allowing socks from other parks with different coloured grips stains our equipment over time. By requesting only Rush-branded socks we are able to preserve the high standard of our park and its equipment over time. Rush socks cost £2.25 a pair, but you can use them each time you come. They can be purchased online with each jump ticket, or they can be purchased at the park. They look pretty cool too!

New York Governor Signs 'Complete Streets' Package
editor@aashto.org January 6, 2023 0 COMMENTS
Governor Kathy Hochul (D) (above) recently signed a legislative package so the New York Department of Transportation can boost support for municipal "Complete Streets" projects.
[Above photo by the New York Governor's Office]
A "Complete Street" is a roadway planned and designed to consider the safe, convenient access and mobility of roadway users of all ages and abilities. This includes pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation riders, and motorists; it includes children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
New York's legislation increases the state share of funding for municipalities incorporating Complete Street features. Under the new legislation, the state's contribution to the non-federally funded portion of complete street projects will increase to 87.5 percent, which will help municipalities to implement these street designs.

"Whether you're on the sidewalk, in the bike lane or riding the bus, you deserve a high-quality trip that gets you safely to your destination," Gov. Hochul said in a statement. "Transportation is all about connections: bringing people closer to their jobs, their homes, and the people they love. I'm proud to sign two new laws that will make our streets safer and our communities more connected."
There is a growing push at both the federal and state level to integrate complete street policies in surface transportation strategies across the country.
In March 2022, the Federal Highway Administration sent a report to Congress detailing the agency's commitment to "advance widespread implementation of the Complete Streets design model" to help improve safety and accessibility for all users.
Image by FHWA
That report – entitled "Moving to a Complete Streets Design Model: A Report to Congress on Opportunities and Challenges" – identifies what FHWA calls "five overarching opportunity areas" that will guide the agency as it moves ahead with efforts to increase "Complete Streets."
Many state departments of transportation have already adopted "Complete Streets" programs on their own, as noted in this report compiled by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
For example, in December 2021, the California Department of Transportation unveiled a new "Complete Streets" policy for all new transportation projects it funds or oversees in order to provide "safe and accessible options" for people walking, biking and taking transit.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation put in place what it called a wide-ranging "Complete Streets" policy for the state-owned highway system in February 2021.

Temporarily admitted foreigners receive the F-Permit.
Temporary admission is a substitute measure taken instead of deportation.
has contributed to making his or her removal impossible due to his or her own conduct (Art. 83 para. 7 FNA).
Temporarily admitted persons can file a request for recognition as a hardship case with the canton to which they were assigned. The person must have resided in Switzerland for more than five years and meet further requirements related to being well-integrated, to family circumstances and to the reasonableness of return to the country of origin (Art. 84 para. 5 FNA). If the request is granted by the cantonal authorities and the SEM, the person obtains a residence permit (B-Permit).
Temporarily admitted persons remain in the canton to which they were already assigned as asylum seekers (Art. 85 para. 2 FNA; Art. 27 AsylA). They are free to choose their place of residence within the canton unless they receive social assistance benefits. The cantonal authorities assign a place of residence and accommodation to temporarily admitted persons dependent on social assistance (Art. 85 para. 5 FNA).
As a rule, temporarily admitted persons can contest the assignment to a certain canton only if it puts family unity at risk.
Changing cantons is possible only on request. The SEM makes a decision on the request after hearing the cantons concerned (Art. 85 paras. 3 and 4 FNA).
The rules for recognised refugees granted temporary admission are less strict because these individuals are theoretically free to move throughout Swiss territory under international law.
Every temporarily admitted foreigner may pursue gainful employment without restriction and may change job and occupation (Art. 61 AsylG). The prerequisite for this is that the gainful activity has been declared. In the case of paid work, the declaration must be made by the employer; in the case of self-employment, the declaration must be made by the person concerned. The person must report the commencement and termination of gainful employment. The wage and working conditions customary in the place, profession and industry must be fulfilled (Art. 65 VZAE).
Temporarily admitted persons unable to maintain themselves from their own resources are entitled to social benefits. This provision does not apply if third parties are required to support them. The same provisions apply as for asylum seekers (Art. 86 para. 1 FNA; Art. 3 para. 2 AsylO 2).
Temporarily admitted persons must be insured against illness (Art. 3 Health Insurance Act (HIA)). However, the cantons may limit their choice of insurers and of physicians and hospitals (Art. 86 para. 2 FNA).
Temporarily admitted persons have a right to premium reductions seven years after their entry (Art. 82a para. 7 AsylA; Art. 5b AsylO 2).
For spouses and unmarried children under the age of 18 of temporarily admitted persons family reunion, at the earliest, after the order for temporary admission of said persons is possible. The requirements are that they all live in the same household, the family has suitable housing, and the family does not depend on social assistance (Art. 85 para. 7 FNA). The application must be filed with the competent cantonal migration authority, which passes it on to the SEM. Certain deadlines apply to the application (Art. 74 paras. 2 and 3 Ordinance on Admission, Stay and Gainful Employment (OASGE)).
Temporarily admitted persons have a right to benefit from integration measures. The cantons are responsible for implementing these measures funded by the Confederation (Art. 18 Ordinance on the Integration of Foreign Nationals (OIFN), Art. 55 para. 2 FNA).
Click for further information on the integration programmes of the individual cantons (in French and German only).
Basically speaking, temporarily admitted persons are not allowed to travel to their native country or country of origin. If they do, they risk losing their temporary admission status. However a trip of this kind can be allowed in exceptional cases for humanitarian reasons (Art. 9 para. 6 Ordinance on the Issuing of Travel Documents for Foreign Nationals (OITDFN), in French).
for other reasons (at the earliest three years after the granting of temporary admission).

Are you sure you want to remove "Painting Trim Techniques" from My Projects?
When painting an entire room, paint the wood trim first, then paint the walls. Start by painting the inside portions of the trim, and work out toward the walls. on windows, for instance, first paint the edges close to the glass, then paint the surrounding face trim.
Doors should be painted quickly because of the large surface. To avoid lap marks, always paint from dry surfaces back into wet paint. On baseboards, cut in the top edge and work down to the flooring. Plastic floor guards or a wide broad knife can help shield carpet and wood flooring from paint drips. Alkyds and latex enamels may require two coats. Always sand lightly between coats and wipe with a tack cloth so that the second coat bonds properly.
To paint double‑hung windows, remove them from their 1 frames if possible. Newer, spring‑mounted windows are released by pushing against the frame.
Drill holes and insert two 2" nails into the legs of a wooden 2 step ladder. Mount the window easel‑style for easy painting. Or, lay the window flat on a bench or sawhorses. Do not paint the sides or bottom of the window sashes.
Using a tapered sash brush, begin by painting the wood next to the glass. Use the narrow edge of the brush, and overlap the paint onto the glass to create a weather seal.
With a putty knife wrapped in a clean cloth, remove excess paint from the glass. Rewrap the knife often so that you always wipe with clean fabric. Overlap paint from the sash onto the glass by 1⁄16".
Paint all flat portions of the sashes, then the case moldings, sill, and apron. Use slow brush strokes, and avoid getting paint between the sash and the frame.
If you must paint windows in place, move the painted windows up and down several times during the drying period to keep them from sticking. Use a putty knife to avoid touching the painted surfaces.

TomTom Via 1435 TM review
March 4, 2012 2322 views Bluetooth, GPS, TomTom, wide screen
TomTom VIA 1435 TM
This boxing day I headed out for a bit of toy shopping in preparation for our trip out of the country so we could find cool things to do in Costa Rica without getting lost. It has been long time since I've been out on Boxing Day, shopping on-line is so much more convenient. I couldn't believe people still line-up hours before the stores open (well, except at Reno Depot) and the line at Future Shop went around the parking lot.
What surprised me most was the number of people lining up to buy a Playbook! The only thing different was the size of the ads proclaiming the low price that had been in effect since September. And I bet all those people were smacking themselves when the price dropped another $100 a month later!
After wandering around Future Shop and not really seeing what all the fuss was about I stumbled upon the GPS display. There were a few models at 40% to 60% off; and I know from reading the TomTom Go 720 vs Garmin nüvi 255 that the TomTom was the way to go. The first salesperson to show-up simply opened the case and handed me the GPS I was in front of. The second salesperson actually asked a few questions and answered a few of mine.
Ultimately I ended buying a TomTom Via 1435 TM. It features a 4.3″ touch screen, blue tooth, lifetime traffic and maps updates.
The 4.3″ screen on the VIA 1435 makes a huge difference. The route information is clearly displayed and there's still lots of space for the other touch controls. It's easy select the buttons and move around the screen, especially in the menus and when typing on the on-screen keyboard.
This is the only downside to the unit I've found so-far. Trying to use voice commands to enter an address is an exercise in frustration. Especially since street names here in Quebec are often a mix of English and French words. So far I haven't been able to enter a single address properly by voice.
The unit can also connect to your phone via Bluetooth for hands-free calling. The connection and sound quality is pretty good
Lane View
VIA 1435 Lane View
This is the coolest feature, and one that drew me to the TomTom. More than once on a road trip we've had a GPS that has give us ambiguous directions at a highway exit or merge. With Lane View the GPS switches to a view of the lanes and puts a red arrow in the lane we're supposed to be in. It's not a photographic reproduction of what the road ahead looks like but it's close enough so you know which direction you're supposed to be going.
The MyTomTom Home software is available for Windows and Mac OS X. There's not much to say, it gets the job done. But hey TomTom, let's see a Linux version!
The VIA 1435 TM is a great GPS, that really takes advantage of the larger screen. The life time maps are going help the GPS keep it's usefulness over time; and the traffic updates are really handy. The voice input is less useful where the street names are regularly in multiple languages but I'm sure it will be useful on our travels.

Q: Animation objective C So i intend to make a view that is pretty much a line with the anchor point at it's base to wobble from right to left and play a sound when it reaches the max angle. (Implementation of a metronome arm)
my methods are :
-(void)goForward :(UIView*)view{

CGAffineTransform rightWobble = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(RADIANS(120));

[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:^{

    view.transform=rightWobble;

} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    NSLog(@"go back  duration : %f",duration);

    if (isWobbling) {
        [self goBack:view];
        [self performSelector:@selector(playMetronomeSound) withObject:nil afterDelay:duration];
    }
    else if (!isWobbling){
            [self stopWobbling];
            [self performSelector:@selector(stopMetronomeSound) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
    }

}];  }

and
-(void)goBack :(UIView*)view{

CGAffineTransform leftWobble = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(RADIANS(60));

[UIView animateWithDuration:duration animations:^{

    view.transform = leftWobble;

} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    NSLog(@"go forward  duration: %f",duration);

    if (isWobbling) {
        [self goForward:view];
        [self performSelector:@selector(playMetronomeSound) withObject:nil afterDelay:duration];
        }
    else if (!isWobbling){
        [self stopWobbling];
        [self performSelector:@selector(stopMetronomeSound) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
}];  }

with
-(void) stopWobbling{

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1 animations:^{
    metronomeSlider.transform = vertical;
    [self stopMetronomeSound];
}]; }

and
-(void) playMetronomeSound{

        alSourcePlay(mySoundSource);
}

-(void) stopMetronomeSound{

        alSourceStop(mySoundSource);
}

The duration variable determines the duration of the animation.
The animation happens when i hit a play button that looks like this:
-(void)playButtonAction {
if (_metronomeIsAnimatingAndPLaying == NO)
{
    [self goForward:metronomeSlider];

    [_playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"stop"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [self performSelector:@selector(playMetronomeSound) withObject:nil afterDelay:duration];

    _metronomeIsAnimatingAndPLaying = YES;
    isWobbling = YES;

    NSLog(@"DURATION IS : %f",duration);

}

else if (_metronomeIsAnimatingAndPLaying == YES)
{
    [_playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"play"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [self stopWobbling];

    _metronomeIsAnimatingAndPLaying = NO;
    isWobbling = NO;
}   }

My problem is whenever i hit the play / stop button to make the animation stop and my view to come back to a 90 degrees angle, it happens but it plays an extra tick sound that is not meant to be played.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thankx in advance
Update Screenshot:

A: It seems to me that this is happening:

*

*You call [self stopWobbling]

*stopWobbling calls animateWithDuration on the transform

*This will cause the completion block of the running animation to be called (with finished = NO)

*In that block isWobbling is still true (since you haven't set it to false yet), so you play the sound (and try to reverse direction).

Try this:
-(void) stopWobbling {
    isWobbling = NO;
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.1 animations:^{
        metronomeSlider.transform = vertical;
        [self stopMetronomeSound];
}]; }

I have been a busy little rabbit this month. In between assignments for TAFE and going to work, I have managed to squeeze in a smidgen of woolly goodness.
I have been fantasising deeply about one day having a little online Made It store or a little Etsy store of my very own – to sell scarves and other bits of woolly goodness.
So I have been knitting away making these fabulous looking scarves, hoping to create a stockpile for selling. Problem is, I fall in love with the awesome colours and the feel of them and want to keep them for my selfish little self.
Maybe I will have to make two of each of the ones I have particular crushes on. For example the one located in the fourth picture down on the left hand side of the mosaic. It is totally fabulous – I want to get married in a blizzard wearing it that is how much I love it.
I've also been learning some new granny squares from this fabulous book.
1. I didn't have to to my speech on a contemporary Australian Human Rights issue this week. However, I have to go first on Tuesday. I am completely unprepared.
2. I think yesterdays blog post was pretty awesome. I also created a forum at Nerdfighters to see what other people had to say about it. Thank you Frankie for the awesome questions.
3. I made the most delicious roast chicken on Wednesday night. The recipe can be found in Jamie Oliver's cook book – The Ministry of Food. While it was cooking the house smelled amazingly edible.
4. I watched one of my all time favourite movies – Dirty Dancing. I completely and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
5. My cat Finn and I took a lovely nap on the couch together after working our little butts off doing the laundry and weeding the garden.
6. I'm still reading The Time Traveller's Wife (slowly, because I've got to squeeze study and homework in somewhere), I think I am a little bit in love with Henry.
7. I got a package in the mail from my awesome friend. It has Star Wars Pez. I promptly wrote her a reply on cute stationery and skipped like a doofus to the post box and sent it on it's happy little way. Mail is fun. More fun than e-mails.
How glorious to exist, a cloudless sky a glowing golden sun beckoning me to bathe in its glorious sunny golden love. Even I am envious of me. I am loved by two of the most adorable furry fellows to grace the planet, one of the two legged variety (who is so unfortunately at work in an office building) and the other of the four legged variety (who is also basking in the sun, like a furry lizard. In between his crazy spasmodic runs from one side of the yard to the other).
I suppose your wondering why I haven't blogged in a few weeks, (see I'm envisioning a blog read by hundreds here, but in reality I think one person really. So a big shout out to my friend Renay, thanks for coming!!) well to tell the truth life and a cartoon series got in the way.
Yes I did say a cartoon series. Avatar The Last Air Bender, if you haven't seen this series I recommend it. You don't even need to watch it with your children because it's just that good.
I've been gardening like someone on destruction pills. I have been pruning and removing and eradicating and just destroying this garden. It sounds so violent, but it needs to happen. To make room for the good plants and to let the sun into our super cold little yard of mud and mould and slime. It is slowly working. My two legged furry guy even got in on the action and dug out a HUGE tree stump. What a man!! Check out my pile of pruning's.
But apart from the destruction I've been taking cuttings and taking care of little seeds that I planted. Some have germinated.
I've been so very domestic since moving in with the Man. Doing laundry, I don't even know why but there is something satisfying about not letting him do it. Cooking some fabulous creation every night for dinner, then washing our dishes. Arranging and rearranging the food in the pantry, putting things in containers and canisters. I like it. Making tea in a tea pot and drinking it from a delicate tea cup like a real lady, is satisfying.
Sitting around starting new crochet projects when I still haven't even finished the last. But I am seriously loving just working with some different coloured yarn for a while. I am also making the squares slightly bigger this time and am researching new joining methods.
Buying the continental recipe sachets, making it once then trying to make it again but without the sachet and making something that tastes even better. Something fresher without thickening agents or preservatives, with super amounts of fresh vegetables and flavour exploding into every corner of your mouth.
I think I'm finished now. I think I might crochet or start reading Anne Of Green Gables.


You just moved into a new home—congratulations! Now that the moving truck is unloaded, you probably have a million things to do before getting settled. Prioritize your list by focusing on these timely tasks first.
Don't get caught in the dark during a power outage! Soon after moving in, homeowners should locate their circuit breaker panel and label each switch, if this hasn't already been done.
Don't assume your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors have plenty of battery life. Clean and test these crucial safety components as soon as possible, and replace any defunct alarms with brand-new ones.
There's no telling who already has a key to your newly acquired home. Remember, the previous owners may have given spare copies to an assortment of friends and relatives. Stay safe by having all locks rekeyed after moving in, or take the opportunity to replace the hardware altogether.
If you didn't take care of this before you packed up, change your address with the United States Postal Service to ensure that your mail makes it to your new home. Also alert your bank, cellphone provider, and other service companies about your new mailing address; otherwise, you might not receive your monthly bills.
It might be tempting to start unpacking ASAP, but homeowners should deep clean the property before unloading boxes. Sweep and mop the floors, wipe down counters and cabinet shelves, and sterilize the bathroom from top to bottom.
When you move into a new home, you usually begin to accumulate lots of important paperwork, such as contractor repair records and warranties for appliances. Start a binder to compile all this information in one handy place.
Though you probably had the house inspected during negotiations, consider conducting your own inspection before furnishing the living space. You might discover hidden mold, crumbling caulk, sticky doors, or wobbly deck planks—all of which can be fixed through DIY repairs.
Of course, every new homeowner needs to set up basic utilities—electricity, natural gas, and water—plus any applicable extras like cable, internet, trash collection, and lawn care. It's best to contact the necessary utility companies two weeks before you move into your new home to ensure that you don't experience a gap in service.
Ideally, homeowners should replace air filters four times per year—so there's a good chance the filters in your new home are ripe for a change. Replace them when you move in, and you'll breathe more easily in your new place.
You should have at least one fire extinguisher on every level of the house, so pick up a few right after you move into your new place. As another safety measure, you should draft a fire escape plan for your family in case of emergency.
It's easy to get caught up in the stress of moving day, but if you see any of your new neighbors out and about, say hello. Not only will this make a great first impression, it will also give you the opportunity to ask about the area.
A little short term planning can make a big difference in your long term happiness.


Ten acres of garden surround a heritage house with winding paths of old growth Douglas firs and cedars framing breathtaking views of the Strait of Georgia. The garden lawns slope gently to meet a precipitous bluff which plunges to the beach below. The gabled house includes features of a Ceylonese tea plantation house.
'I had the wonderful opportunity of participating in a painting workshop this past year with Peggy Burkosky. My experience of Peggy was that she was quite a remarkable instructor as she taught both intermediate and beginner students in the same class that I attended"


very strange, i have just noticed that my phone lock screen is now gone.
when i hit the hang up/power off button instead of locking the screen it goes black but when i hit another button it comes right back to the main today screen but no lock screen. bit of a problem when it does in the pocket.
Hi jgtthd, just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).
I wish i could get this to turn off again so i could use S2U2 lock program..

The Mediterranean Sea - Facts & History
Some Facts
Languedoc takes up half of France's Mediterranean coast with four of the five Departements of the region bordering the Mediterranean Sea. There is 177km (110 miles) of coastline and 42 beaches to choose from and includes some of the most beautiful beaches in the south of France; as the tides are very small they are generally safe for swimming. The beaches tend to be long, wide and sandy with the low, flat plain behind. Only at Séte and Cap d'Agde do the mountains extend to the coast and create cliffs.
The Mediterranean Sea covers an approximate area of 2.5 million km² (965 000 miles²). It is almost completely enclosed: on the north by Europe, on the south by Africa, and on the east by Asia. It has an average depth of around 1,500 m. The deepest known point is 5267 meters (about 3.27 miles) in the Ionian Sea. The coastline extends for 46,000 km. A shallow submarine ridge between Sicily and Tunisia divides the Mediterranean into two, the Western Mediterranean (0.85 million km²) and the larger Eastern Mediterranean (1.65 million km².).
There are lagoons and salt marshes and occasional rocky outcrops. Salt lakes (called étangs) are common. The most notable salt marsh area at the mouth of the River Rhône is known as the Camargue and is famous for its white horses and black bulls.
The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Red Sea by the Suez Canal in the south-east and to the Atlantic Ocean by two different waterways. One is the Strait of Gibraltar in the west - a natural straight some 14 km (9 miles) wide. The other is the Canal du Midi which enters the Mediterranean at the port of Sète in the Languedoc-Roussillon. Completed in 1666 the canal is still an astonishing piece of engineering and now a world heritage site.
The Mediterranean climate is generally one of mild winters and hot, dry summers. Typical crops of the area include sunflowers, olives, grapes, oranges, tangerines,melons, peaches, cherries, apricots and lavender to name but a few.
In the last couple of generations the tourist industry has taken off, largely along the littoral and concentrated around picturesque villages and sandy beaches.
The Mediterranean fishing industry is largely based on hake, sea bream, sea bass, mullet, mackerel, sardines, cuttlefish and flat fish such as sole, turbot and brill. Farming of oysters, mussels and other shellfish in the open sea is practised.
Another coastal industry is salt making, for example in the Camargue and at Gruissan, as salt extracted from Mediterranean sea water is highly prized.
In ancient times the Mediterranean Sea was a transport superhighway, allowing for trade and cultural exchange between the peoples of the region. It was critical to the development of Western Civilisation and brought, among others, the Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians and the Romans to the area.
Arenas and theatres in the Gulf of Lyon are identical to those all around the Mediterranean - Modern Turkey, the Levant, Italy and North Africa all share a common history with the Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence.
To the Romans the Mediterranean was Mare Nostrum (meaning Our Sea in Latin). The name Mediterranean also derives from Latin mediterraneus, (medius, 'middle' and terra, 'earth') - for Romans as for other Mediterranean peoples it was literally the centre of the world. In Catalan it is the Mar Mediterrània. Food and wine also travelled across the Mediterranean. The Languedoc was the largest vineyard in the world in Roman times as it still is today. A spicy sausage called merguez is as popular in the Languedoc as it is in North Africa - its place of origin.
Ancient Mediterranean practices remain today such as the Spanish and Languedocienne bull fighting which is clearly a perfectly preserved hangover of Roman games. Bull leaping in the Languedoc may well be older - an echo of Minoan religious practices. Sea-water jousting (Joutes Nautiques), still practised in the Languedoc at Sète, Agde, Béziers and other towns, was first recorded in ancient Egypt.
Control of the Mediterranean was key to military success from ancient times to the present day.
Around 6 million years ago the Mediterranean dried up and around a million years later it flooded again presumably via the Strait of Gibraltar. As a result, the modern marine biology of the Mediterranean is derived primarily from the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, 22 modern states have a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea including France. In medieval times France had no Mediterranean coast until it annexed the territories of the Counts of Toulouse and the Viscounts of Carcassonne and Béziers following the Roman Church's barbarous war against the Cathars of the Languedoc.

Research Unit of Environmental Medicine at SDU
How does the environment affect our health? To which degree is it necessary to control toxic exposures? How can we limit our exposures to harzardous Chemicals?
How does the environment affect our health? To which degree is it necessary to control potentially toxic exposures to prevent negative effects on health and development of disease? How can we ourselves limit our exposures to hazardous chemicals?
These questions are central to the environmental epidemiology research group, which has been particularly active in regard to negative effects in the long term due to developmental exposures to toxic chemicals.
Because research in environmental medicine deals with exposed populations, the epidemiological studies are conducted where large differences in exposures occur. During 25 years, collaboration has included Faroese researchers, while other projects have been carried out in South America.
The environmental medicine laboratory has specialized in measurement of environmental chemicals and their effects in blood and other biological samples and – in collaboration with Odense University Hospital – analyses of trace elements, including metals in biological samples.
The research group teaches environmental medicine, toxicology and nutrition to medical students, and students of public health science, biomechanics, and supplementary degrees.

Driven by an ambition to promote those talents and research achievements that develop society
The university was inaugurated in 1966. Thus, SDU was founded in a time of unrest and upheaval that impacted art, culture, the labour market, norms and institutions – and the view on institutions of higher education. The political view was, that the universities to a greater extend had to contribute to the development of the welfare state by: "Promoting the training demanded by the times." Since its foundation, SDU has been driven by an ambition to promote those talents and research achievements that develop society, adapt to contemporary demands and challenge the norms. The example hereof is SDU's exceptional quota 2 admission called test-based admission. The robot cluster on Funen, the largest in the North, shows how sustainable achievements become when the business community and research collaborate to find solutions. The cross-disciplinary cooperation is a significant value at SDU. The challenges of the future within climate, welfare and health are complex and unpredictable. We need more than one field of study, one method or one approach to solve them. Accordingly, several of our strategic research projects are cross-disciplinary, and students will encounter subjects that have contributions from several faculties.

Q: Mooncows, parrot, magic turnstile I believe this book was called "The Enchanted Parcel" but I can't find any book by that name.  It was about a group of children who find a brown paper package containing a talking parrot, who guides them through a cave and a magic turnstile into a fantasy land.  Some of the most memorable inhabitants of the fantasy land were "Mooncows", giant enchanted snails who exuded a useful substance like magical sheets of plastic.  I read it in the 80's.

A: This is The Talking Parcel, by Gerald Durrell.

The Talking Parcel (also published as The Battle for Castle Cockatrice) is  a 1974 book by Gerald Durrell in which children are transported to the fantasy land of Mythologia to save it from cockatrices. They are aided by a talking parrot and encounter many other magical creatures, including a mooncalf.

1.2 How frequently should partial water changes be made?
The solution to pollution is dilution; water changes replace a portion of dirty water with an equal portion of clean water, effectively diluting the concentrations of undesirable substances in your tank. In an established tank, nitrate is the primary toxin that builds up. Regular water changes are the cheapest, safest and most effective way of keeping nitrate concentrations at reasonable levels. During the tank cycling phase, however, ammonia or nitrite may be the substances that need to be diluted and removed. Likewise, if medications have been added to your tank, they may need to be removed after they've served their primary purpose.
Because water changes are the first line of defense in dealing with problems such as disease, you want to be able to do large, frequent partial water changes during emergency periods. Consequently, you want your tank's water chemistry to closely match that of your replacement water. That way, you always have the option of performing large water changes on short notice. Note that this is the way tanks start out; when you initially set up your tank, the water is the same as that from your tap. Over time, however, the tank's water chemistry may ``drift relative to tap water due to acidification from the nitrogen cycle, the addition of chemical additives such as ``Ph-up or ``Ph-down, the use of non-inert tank gravel (e.g. crushed coral or sea shells), etc.
Water changes remove nitrates after they've been produced. Nitrogenous substances in the form of uneaten fish food, detritus, etc. can also be removed BEFORE they get broken down into nitrate. This is achieved by cleaning your mechanical and biological filter regularly, and by vacuuming the gravel with a gravel cleaner. This should be done every time you perform a water change, e.g., every two weeks. Note: if your heater becomes partially exposed to air as the water level drops while doing changes, be sure to unplug your heater while doing your water changes. The heater can crack if the water level drops below the heating coil!

Q: How to quickly find / go to declaration of getter and setter for a field? In Eclipse IDE, when I am within a class file, one of the class attributes is used in some methods of that class.
How can I quickly go to the declarations of the getter and setter for that attribute without scrolling through the whole class file?

A: Right click on the field > Open call hierachy
or select the field then CTRL+ALT+H
Another solution is to activate the Toggle mark occurences option from the menu bar or ALT+SHIFT+O. That will put small marks on the right side of your window, next to the scroll bar. Note that will mark every use of the field in the file but it's not always easy to distinguish the marks from the research mark results and the other types of marks used by Eclipse (errors, warning, TODO, etc.)

A: Ctrl + click on the field gets you to the declaration
Ctrl + O and you can start typing a method and go to it
Ctrl +  g on the field finds where it is used and the getter/setter will be in the list
There might be other ways but a good source would be to read Eclipse Shortcuts and find the ones that suits your needs.

A: One way is a quick outline

ctrl+o (cmd+o)

or search via

ctrl + h

Book Title : The 14th Colony
Author : Steve Berry
Publisher : Minotaur Books
What happens if both the president and vice-president-elect die before taking the oath of office? The answer is far from certain—in fact, what follows would be nothing short of total political chaos. Shot down over Siberia, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is forced into a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, a man whose loyalty to the former Soviet Union has festered for decades into an intense hatred of the United States. Before escaping, Malone learns that Zorin and another ex-KGB officer, this one a sleeper still embedded in the West, are headed overseas to Washington D.C. Noon on January 20th—Inauguration Day—is only hours away. A flaw in the Constitution, and an even more flawed presidential succession act, have opened the door to disaster and Zorin intends to exploit both weaknesses to their fullest. Armed with a weapon leftover from the Cold War, one long thought to be just a myth, Zorin plans to attack. He's aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of America's oldest fraternal organization—the Society of Cincinnati—a group that once lent out its military savvy to presidents, including helping to formulate three invasion plans of what was intended to be America's 14th colony—Canada. In a race against the clock that starts in the frozen extremes of Russia and ultimately ends at the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront a crippling fear that he's long denied, but which now jeopardizes everything. Steve Berry's trademark mix of history and speculation is all here in this provocative new thriller.

The Patriot Surgeon 14th Colony
Book Title : The Patriot Surgeon 14Th Colony
Author : Glenn Haas
Publisher : AuthorHouse
Following the Battle of Bunker Hill in early July of 1775, George Washington takes command of the seventeen thousand men who lay siege to the city of Boston, where General Thomas Gage and his four thousand regular army troops valiantly hold out. Parliament and representatives of Great Britain no longer listen to the complaints and requests of the colonials and decline to negotiate the issues. Like his fellow members of Congress, Washington is committed to an early end of the conflict. Washington determines that, by improving the negotiating position of the American colonists, Great Britain will accede to the demands of Congress. Many in the province of Canada are similarly oppressed and disenfranchised by Parliament. With the approval of Congress, Washington devises a plan to expel the British army from the forts at Montreal and Quebec and align with Canada, making Canada the fourteenth American colony. As the Northern army proceeds up the Hudson Valley to attack Montreal, Washington appoints Colonel Benedict Arnold to lead a secret mission of 1,200 men through the wilderness of Maine to attack the undermanned and vulnerable fortress at Quebec. Dr. Tamanend Maier, now on General Washingtons administrative staff, works with Benedict Arnold to plan the expedition and will accompany him to Quebec. His brother, Dr. Christian Maier, is now in Boston. He remains loyal to his king and serves as a volunteer surgeon in the beleaguered British army. General Gage is informed of the secret expedition to Quebec and sends Christian to Quebec with the information necessary to save the fortress city.
Fourteenth Colony
Book Title : Fourteenth Colony
Author : John Appleyard Agency
ISBN : OCLC:712733028
Author : Kent Mayeux
France in 1720 was gripped by an economic obsession. Pierre Mayeux unexpectedly got caught up in the mania. The 14th Colony is based on a true story about the father of a surname in the Louisiana Colony. Pierre suddenly finds himself, literally and figuratively, on a passenger list of the La Profond, a tall sailing ship, headed to the Louisiana Colony. The story begins in northern France. Everyone in France wanted to buy shares of the Company of the Indies, later nicknamed the Mississippi Company. The numerous wars by King Louis XIV had left a financial strain on France that could only be relieved by one man, John Law, so the Crown thought. After the death of the Sun King on September 1, 1715 and because of the minority of King Louis XV, the crown was placed in the hands of a regent, Philippi II, Duke of Orleans. John Law, a Scottish aristocrat trained in commerce and economics, managed to gain the ear of the regent and they triggered a speculative frenzy which ended in the Mississippi Bubble. At the time, France claimed a vast territory in the Mississippi valley of North America from the Hudson Bay in Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. The Crown granted the Mississippi Company the exclusive right of all trade within the colony including the lucrative fur trade. The company gained the monopoly on the tobacco and African slave trades and started issuing concessions (land grants) to French aristocrats and nobles in the Louisiana Colony. Engages were sent to the colony to work the concessions. The company also gained the monopoly over the collection of French taxes in the motherland, the minting of coins and soon started issuing paper banknotes in the stead of specie, the French gold and silver livre. Paper money was the scheme of John Law. The initial price of 500 livre for one share of company stock soon soared to 18,000 livre. The stockpile of banknotes skyrocketed chasing too few goods resulting in a rash of inflation. The company

America S Irresistible Attraction
Book Title : America S Irresistible Attraction
Author : John S. Dinga
Publisher : Trafford Publishing
Part travelogue and part memoire, John S. Dingas newest book is a sequel to Navigating the Contradictions of America and explores disparities between Americas past and present, from the perspective of an immigrant. Featuring characters both real and fictional, Dinga shares his observations about the realities of making a new life in a new country, with an occasional flashback to the former home. The desire to immigrate to America is one shared by people all over the world, people who are often unaware of what it takes to thrive in a competitive, capitalist world where nothing is the same as before. Settling down in a new environment and navigating the politics and stresses of finding a job are just two of the aspects of culture shock a new immigrant will face. Expectations and responsibilities from those back home also add to the new immigrants challenges, and Dinga offers his suggestions on how to thrive under those stresses as well. He speaks not only to the potential immigrant but to those officials in power on either side of the process as well. Learning to make the right choices when presented with so many options is another life lesson addressed. The American society, freedoms, choices, and government are envied in many corners of the world, and Dinga explores how that perception influences the decision to start the journey. People need to know that living in America has its challengeschallenges not often imagined when the desire to immigrate pushes them to cross deserts, oceans, and unfriendly skies.

2023 Brings a Complete Revitalization of Fiesta Village, an Exciting Reimagination of a Coaster Classic and a Transformation of the Knott's Berry Farm Hotel
The best way to experience all this and more is with a 2023 Season Pass on sale now
BUENA PARK, CA – Knott's Berry Farm and the Knott's Berry Farm Hotel are proud to announce major changes debuting in 2023. Inside the park, Fiesta Village is being refreshed to further celebrate all the Hispanic cultural influences present in Southern California. The unveiling of the new Fiesta Village includes a reimagined Montezooma's Revenge. The historic coaster will be renamed MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress, with an immersive storyline and new surprise thrills for its riders. And next door to the park, every aspect of the Knott's Berry Farm Hotel -- from the front desk and lobby to the guest rooms and hotel restaurant -- will be transformed with brand new theming based on the theme park and its founders.
The New Fiesta Village
The new Fiesta Village will reopen in Summer 2023, showcasing enhanced themes and beautiful décor across three new zones in the area. Walking down El Camino Real and entering Fiesta Village, guests will step into brand-new food locations, an updated stage and a redesigned marketplace. The Fiesta Plaza stage will be refreshed to an even grander scale, with theming to match the attached restaurant and new bar. Casa California will be transformed into a completely different dining location with a menu featuring Mexican food items such as made-to-order tacos and burritos. Across from the brand-new eatery is Papas Mexicana, where guests can enjoy fan favorites like carne asada fries and other delicious offerings. The former La Papa Loca location will become Cantina Del Sur, a one-stop shop for specialty beverages. Also in this new zone will be an open street market inspired by the likes of Los Angeles' Olvera Street. At Fiesta Mercado, guests will find an assortment of merchants and retailers selling items perfect for guests to commemorate their visit to the new Fiesta Village.
As guests leave Boardwalk and head into Fiesta Village, they will enter a zone filled with magical alebrijes. These brightly colored mythical creatures will take over the landscape and transport guests to a dream world inspired by Mexican folklore. While enjoying the scenery, guests can also fulfill their Mexican street food craving at the new taco stand-influenced location Taqueria Fiesta.
Montezooma's Revenge Reimagination
Opening in 1978, Montezooma's Revenge was the first flywheel-launched roller coaster in the world and the oldest shuttle loop roller coaster still in its original location. Montezooma's Revenge has launched millions of guests through Fiesta Village into a gravity-defying single loop track and back again. For 2023, Montezooma's Revenge is being reimagined and rethemed with exciting new thrills added to this coaster classic. New updates allow guests to be completely surprised by the direction the train will take them at the start of each ride. The randomized launch sequence will make it impossible for anyone to know their destiny until it is too late to escape the clutches of Montezooma. To reach the station and try to escape with Montezuma's gold, guests will find their way through the fortress protecting the treasure but must beware of the countless boobytraps within. The grounds leading to the temple will resemble a macabre history exhibit as treasure hunters' remains from throughout the ages line the walls. Now that the traps leading to the gold have been cleared, only those brave enough can make it through the final challenge and find themselves at the home of the hidden Aztec treasure in MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress.
Knott's Berry Farm Hotel Renovation
Steps away from the thrills of the theme park, Knott's Berry Farm Hotel offers accommodations perfect for families ready to unwind after a full day of fun at the park. In 2023, the property will be unveiling a major renovation. The multi-million-dollar investment will incorporate all-new theming with a storyline centered around the park's founders, Walter and Cordelia Knott. The theme park continues its extensive theming to the resort hotel by creating a space that will honor the love story of the family and their historic roots in the community. Every aspect of the hotel will be transformed, from common areas including the lobby and the pool area to conference rooms and a newly refurbished outdoor event space designated to elevate the experience for both corporate and leisure groups alike. The renovation is set to commence later this year, starting with a complete transformation of all 322 guest rooms.
2023 Seasons of Fun and Season Passes
Throughout 2023, guests can experience everything new that Knott's Berry Farm and Knott's Berry Farm Hotel have to offer, along with the park's entertaining Seasons of Fun events. It all starts with the return of Knott's PEANUTS Celebration, a fun-filled event dedicated to the beloved PEANUTS characters. Guests are invited to step inside the pages of a Charles M. Schulz comic strip as the characters take over the entire park daily from late January through February 2023. In spring, the much-anticipated Knott's Boysenberry Festival returns with countless one-of-a-kind boysenberry-inspired food and drink offerings created by the Knott's culinary team. Unique entertainment and an array of artisan crafters round out the festival from mid-March through April 2023. Summer brings the completion of the New Fiesta Village, plus the return of the award-winning immersive western adventure Ghost Town Alive!, with a new storyline set in the town of Calico unraveling for guests. The summer adventure continues long after the sun goes down, with a nighttime summer party that will liven up the evening. Knott's Summer Nights offers exciting ways to enjoy the nighttime festivities that fill Knott's midway from Calico Park to Charleston Circle with live music and DJs. Summertime at Knott's wouldn't be complete without a visit to Knott's Soak City Waterpark, where guests can catch a ride down 23 different speed, tube and body slides or take a relaxing trip down one of the longest lazy rivers in the country. For fall, the spooktacular family-friendly daytime Halloween event, Knott's Spooky Farm, will invite families with little ghouls to celebrate the spooky season. Knott's Spooky Farm will offer little ones delightfully wicked Halloween-themed activities, live entertainment and much more. As winter rolls in, guests can find the spirit of the season at Knott's Merry Farm, where joy will be spread throughout the park. Knott's Merry Farm will host holiday cheer for parkgoers as they create new holiday memories set to the backdrop of a true classic Christmas.
A 2023 Season Pass is the best way to experience the new Fiesta Village, including the thrilling MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress and an entire year of seasonal fun. With a 2023 Season Pass, guests can enjoy all of Knott's Seasons of Fun events next year, plus free admission for the remainder of 2022. A Regular Season Pass includes unlimited admission to Knott's Berry Farm with no blackout dates, and a Gold Season Pass includes unlimited admission to both Knott's Berry Farm and Knott's Soak City Waterpark with no blackout dates.

The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful WITCH QUEEN, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed KAULDER with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family. However, unbeknownst to Kaulder, the Witch Queen has been resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer, leading to an epic battle that will determine the survival of mankind.

News > Review: Summer Harvest Night 3
Bennett Jones of The Charleston Music Hall
The Charleston Music Hall has come to life thanks to Charles Carmody and his team, and their Summer Harvest Celebration was a wonderful example. They recently announced that "Charleston Music Hall has signed an exclusive booking agreement with the Nashville based promotions company, National Shows 2. This deal is the next big step for the Music Hall, as we seek to secure solid national programming with a stellar company." But that's not keeping them from presenting some of the best local acts available.
The Tarlatans, Steven Fiore, and Volcanoes in the Kitchen wrapped up three days of incredible performances and the release of three cds during the Summer Harvest celebration weekend.
Volcanoes in the Kitchen
Volcanoes in the Kitchen is fronted by three siblings, Gabby, Drew and Hannah. These kids clearly learned how to share. They each contribute to vocals, and share the stage well. They were joined by one of my favorite local drummers, Stuart White. Their performance was enthusiastic and polished, impressive for their youth. The songwriting was a little one-note, everything centered around relationships.
Steven Fiore's set was extremely plugged-in for someone I've always seen as more of a quiet performer, and it was a supreme treat. Fiore left Charleston a while back for Los Angeles; he recently relocated again to Chapel Hill, NC. Guessing by the song that sounded something like a anti-love letter to LA, something to the effect of 'I don't know how they can talk so loud over the music, someone tell the deejay to relax,' I think he's very happily installed in Chapel Hill.
Fiore was backed by a super group of artists, and their experience was evident by their ability put together some stellar music in three days. Fiore introduced the horn section, and especially noted that their music was written just a few days earlier. It was an incredible performance.
a quieter moment with Steven Fiore
The Tarlatans new album "Good Luck" was the reason for the season. There aren't many notes in my notebook, probably because I was having such a good time. The lead track from "Good Luck" features guest vocals from G Love of G Love and Special Sauce. The song is a developed lovely piece of music. The harmonica is a nice addition. We had a great time with this band, and I think that we can expect much more. Hopefully the community will step up and support these musicians so we don't lose more talent to Nashville or NYC or Los Angeles.
The Tarlatans
Kudos to all the musicians, and to Charleston Music Hall for their efforts and visionary programming.

IBM Unveils Compliance-Focused Storage, Software
IBM on Wednesday introduced storage and software to help companies meet government mandates in healthcare, financial services, and other industries.
Antone Gonsalves
The Armonk, N.Y., company calls its offerings the Risk and Compliance Framework, which IBM hopes will attract companies wrestling with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Basel II, and other regulations that require retention of data for specific periods of time.
For holding data, IBM offers the TotalStorage DR550, which is powered by IBM's Power5 processor and stores up to 56 terabytes of data. The system is managed through IBM's Tivoli Data Storage for Data Retention software. Pricing for the IBM TotalStorage DR550 starts at $81,123, and ships in November. The IBM Bank Data Warehousing Software is available as of 10/29
Also part of the framework is an enhanced TotalStorage tapeline that supports attaching the IBM 3494 B10 and B20 Virtual Tape Server models to the IBM TotalStoage 3592 Tape Drive. This enables long-term data archival.
The compliance-geared storage fits IBM's strategy of providing technology that can manage data from its creation to the time it can be disposed. Other companies that have similar strategies for information life-cycle management include EMC, Hitachi Data Systems, and StorageTek.
IBM, however, has a broad portfolio of hardware and software that it can craft into packages that target industry-specific problems, Mike Schiff, analyst for market researcher Current Analysis, said.
"This is IBM's strategy for going after specific industries and functional areas," Schiff said. "[The bundles] solve a problem, as opposed to just being technology."
Going after the compliance market also gives IBM and other information-technology companies an entry into the executive suite, since chief financial officers and chief executives are the ones directly responsible for making sure their companies follow government mandates. This means sales can be approved a lot quicker.
"It's a much higher sale within an organization," Schiff said. "It's much higher than the IT department."
On Monday, IBM released financial results that listed IBM's enterprise-systems group, which makes servers and storage systems, as the company's strongest performer. The unit's sales rose 9 percent and its pretax income jumped 32 percent. The company reported its best third quarter in recent years, with overall revenues rising 8.9 percent and net income increasing 0.8 percent, despite costs of a recent lawsuit settlement.
Besides storage hardware, IBM's compliance framework also includes new software packages, such as the IBM Solution for Compliance in a Regulated Environment, or SCORE. The product helps life-sciences companies reduce the cycle time for trials and to analyze and correct manufacturing data faster.
Other software includes the IBM Bank Data Warehousing Software, a data repository for financial companies faced with reporting procedures to meet International Accounting Standards, Basel II and Sarbanes-Oxley.
IBM's eForms and Records Management Solution for Government uses Big Blue's Tivoli identity-management software and VeriSign authentication technology to create, digitally sign, archive, and retrieve electronic forms. The software is meant to mitigate the risk of litigation.

Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative & Xylem Tree Experts
On April 25, 2019 Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative and Xylem Tree Experts celebrated the grand opening of Xylem's Shenandoah District Office in Mount Jackson, VA. Xylem Tree Experts has been contracted to provide Line Clearance Tree Trimming and Vegetation Management for SVEC. The new facility establishes Xylem's presence in the co-ops service territory.
"We're grateful to have Xylem Tree Experts working with us and excited that they went the extra mile to establish this permanent facility in the valley," said Scott Sorrels, SVEC's vegetation management supervisor. "This location makes all of our jobs easier and will facilitate our continuing goal of providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity."
Xylem Tree Experts leased the old High's Ice Cream building on Main Street at the beginning of 2019. After remodeling the building to suit their needs, the Mount Jackson office is now officially open.
"This new district office provides Xylem with a base of operations to recruit, hire, train, and manage its 85+ employees throughout the valley," said Randolph Hoover, Xylem Tree Experts President and CEO.
"Ben Cash and Scott Sorrels' leadership and vision for the future of SVEC's Vegetation Management program has permeated throughout the entire Valley," said Benjamin Hoover, Xylem Tree Experts COO. "I am very proud to participate in that vision with an amazing team of Xylem employees and SVEC vegetation management coordinators."
Xylem is a Virginia corporation headquartered in Wakefield, VA with administrative offices in Norfolk, VA. Among its services, the company provides line clearance tree trimming to various investor owned utilities, electric cooperatives, and municipalities throughout the southeastern United States. SVEC maintains more than 8,100 Miles of Line.
