Visitors seeking tastings at the Charis Winery in Cumberland, Maryland are sure to notice this grape-themed custom concrete bar as they swirl and sip their wine. Commissioned with this project, Jim Koon and his team with Mountain Men Custom Creations of Keyser, West Virginia emphasized this theme with bold grape vine impressions in the front and with a vine detail in the bar top edge profile. Actually a surround for a cabinet, Jim chose SureCrete Design Products' Xtreme Series GFRC Mixes to construct a sturdy and durable concrete bar.
The bar top is a 2" thick, but was made to be lighter than expected due to its' particular layered construction. With the vine profile in place, Xtreme Series Face Mix was sprayed into the countertop form to provide a shell. Then, ½" of Xtreme Series Backer Mix was packed in followed by (this really helped to lighten it up) a layer of 1" foam which was encased with a troweled on application of Xtreme Series PreCast.
The base of the bar is made up of three pieces: the center is "U" shaped and the other two "L" shaped, flanking either side. The vine stamps were placed in the forms and the resulting impressions were easily tidied up with a rotary tool. The Mountain Men team added Integral Color packs to the Xtreme mixes and, to get the best match possible, it was also added to the caulk that was applied to the seams on the base. Food safe and stain resistant (ideal qualities for a bar), XS-327 Hybrid Water Based Polyurethane was used to seal the concrete bar.
To tie in with the custom bar top, a cherry wood display case was constructed and faced with SureCrete Xtreme Series PreCast cast with the same grape vine edge detail as the bar. After about 35 – 40 hours the project was complete and ready to be admired by eager wine tasters!

Part 11 Compliance
Advice For Compliance With 21 CFR Part 11:
10 Oct 2022 Study5toyou 0 comments
There is often some confusion in companies about 21 CFR Part 11 and related compliance. Many companies think they meet the requirements but in reality they are not.If you think it's all about validation, audit trails, records and retention, and that your business is safe because it has paper master files, maybe you should review your idea. The question is more complex.
Let's clarify and give some advice, especially to companies that deal with medical devices.
What is 21 CFR Part 11?
Who Should Apply 21 CFR Part 11? Any company where electronic data is used must apply the regulation.
21 CFR Part 11 is a regulation that defines the criteria required by the FDA for electronic data to be truthful, robust and 21 cfr part 11 compliance to the corresponding paper data.
The first part of 21 CFR Part 11 deals with electronic records and data retention, while the second part is inherent to electronic signatures.
One thing to remember is that 21 CFR dates back to 1997, so it is obvious that in the last 20 years our knowledge of electronic systems and their potential have changed a lot.
Dato elettronico: "any combination of text, graphics, data, audio, pictorial, or other information representation in digital form that is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved, or distributed by a computer system." (11.3)
Purpose of 21 CFR Part 11
know how to use computer systems and software and when they are not working properly
keep your data securely to prevent it from being modified or lost
track changes to the data
identify data falsification and prevent it
Controls for closed systems
Those who use closed systems to create, modify, store or transmit electronic data must have procedures and controls to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of the data through:
system validation
ability to generate certified and controlled copies of data
limited and controlled access to the system
use of audit trail
operating system checks
adherence to the SOPs
checks on documentation
Password and access management
Passwords are one of the most secure components of a system. With passwords it is possible to know the role, permissions and limitations of each user.
It is good practice to apply password management best practices, but in this case the document is vague. Here are some general indications to improve security and choose a good password:
do not use common words
use alphanumeric characters
change the password every 90 days
do not reuse the last 6 passwords
do not show the text as you type the password
do not allow the browser to save the password
the password must be personal and non-transferable
do not write the password on paper or post-its
Access to electronic data must be controlled by unique IDs and with personalized logins that provide access via username and password.
After a period of inactivity (about 10 minutes) you should be expected to log out of the system. Any login attempts should be suspended after 3 unsuccessful entries of your credentials.
If an account has been inactive for a long period of time, it must be locked out. This period is usually quantified in 30 days.
Audit trail and electronic signature
The purpose of the audit trail is to know what each user did and when they did it. The audit trail tracks when data is created, changed, deleted and when all these changes have occurred.
All the events that occur concerning a datum must be recorded with the name of the person who made the modification, the date and the time.
The purpose of 21 CFR Part 11 also includes detecting fraud and knowing when each change occurs helps with this task.The audit trail is the complete history of electronic data management.
In 21 CFR Part 11 there is also talk of electronic signature for the review and approval of information.The electronic signature must be associated with a unique and personal username and password and must be completed with date and time.It is essential that once a data has been signed for approval, it becomes impossible to modify.
Remember that:
Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 is always the responsibility of the company. No softward and / or validation company can take responsibility for you.
Consulting firms will be able to test and validate your platform, support you in filling out the necessary documentation and help you achieve compliance but the ultimate responsibility remains with the company.
Restrict access to the system
A compliant vision system must have a secure authentication mechanism to prevent unauthorized access. The best solution is to link to the manufacturer's active directory account to verify users and issue appropriate certificates. Any user or login changes must be recorded and appear in the audit log.
Use audit logs
In a compliant vision system, changes to a setting, for example, of a parameter on an image-based scanner, will create a timestamped record, a record that cannot be edited or deleted, and can be reviewed by an auditor at a later time.
Users of a compliant vision system must demonstrate proper software installation via Installation Qualification (IQ), proper software operation via Operational Qualification (OQ), and proper system operation in context of production through Performance Qualification (PQ).
Cognex supports compliance with 21 CFR Part 11
While end users are responsible for final validation to ensure full compliance, Cognex, together with its global network of integration partners, provides all the documentation needed to support the IQ and OQ, as well as the software functions needed to complete the PQ. All Cognex vision systems provide the security and access controls needed to ensure compliance during operations.
The challenges of complying with CFR 21 Part 11
Compliance typically involves creating work instructions to meet each specific 21 CFR Part 11 regulation, developing validation protocols to ensure proper configuration, operation and performance of equipment and software, creating standard operating procedures (SOP) and extensive training for personnel using the equipment and programs.
Any tool that facilitates this process is helpful.
Many manufacturers in FDA regulated industries use our OLYMPUS CIX100 technical cleanliness inspector . Built with an intuitive interface, efficient data acquisition and quick reporting options, the CIX100 system can help you quickly and easily assess the cleanliness of manufactured components to determine if they meet company and international standards

Slowly Convergent Series Euler discovered and proved that ∑n−2 = π2/6. (Modern derivation) This is a slowly converging series and the discovery probably required several digits. The naïve calculation merely omits the tail of the series after n terms, but that tail sums to about 1/n which is a big error for tolerable n. Here is how to get a very good estimate of the sum of the tail and thus reduce the error to about 1/(last term)3. Euler certainly knew of this.
It has to do with approximating n−2 with In = integral of x−2 from n−1/2 to n+1/2.
In = 1/(n − 1/2) − 1/(n + 1/2) = 1/(n2 − 1/4) = n−2/(1 − 1/(4n2)) = n−2∑k≥0(4n2)−k = n−2 + n−2∑k≥1(4n2)−k.
In − n−2 ≃ n−4/4.
∑n≥101 (In − n−2) ≃ ∑n≥101 n−4/4 ≃ 101−3/4.
∑n≥101 (In − n−2) = ∑n≥101 In − ∑n≥101 n−2 ≃ 101−3/4.
but ∑n≥101 In = (Integral x−2 from x=100.5 to ∞) = 1/100.5 .
Now I need to evaluate ∑ln(n)n−2 and Dwight gives Integral ln(x)/x2 = −ln(x)/x − 1/x.
It has to do with approximating ln(n)n−2 with In = integral of ln(x)x−2 from n−1/2 to n+1/2.
but ∑n≥101 In = (Integral ln(x)x−2 from x=100.5 to ∞) = −ln(100.5)/100.5 − 1/100.5 .
This remarkable computation was invented in India by 1500 perhaps 1400, predating Euler.
I know no way to derive this except thru calculus.

On Unix computers, data is stored in directories. There is one root directory, and this might have several directories contained inside of it, each with different names. These directories might have even more directories contained inside of them, and so on.
This refers to the directory with name "finals" in the directory described by "/home/gcj", which in turn refers to the directory with name "gcj" in the directory described by the path "/home". In this path, there is only one part, which means it refers to the directory with the name "home" in the root directory.
Given the full set of directories already existing on your computer, and a set of new directories you want to create if they do not already exist, how many mkdir commands do you need to use?
The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, T. T test cases follow. Each case begins with a line containing two integers N and M, separated by a space.
The next M lines each give the path of one directory that you want to create.
Each of the paths in the input is formatted as in the problem statement above. Specifically, a path consists of one or more lower-case alpha-numeric strings (i.e., strings containing only the symbols 'a'-'z' and '0'-'9'), each preceded by a single forward slash. These alpha-numeric strings are never empty.
For each test case, output one line containing "Case #x: y", where x is the case number (starting from 1) and y is the number of mkdir you need.
No path will have more than 100 characters in it.
No path will appear twice in the list of directories already on your computer, or in the list of directories you wish to create. A path may appear once in both lists however. (See example case #2 below).
If a directory is listed as being on your computer, then its parent directory will also be listed, unless the parent is the root directory.
The input file will be no longer than 100,000 bytes in total.
0 ≤ N ≤ 10.
1 ≤ M ≤ 10.
0 ≤ N ≤ 100.
1 ≤ M ≤ 100.
To attack this problem we can use the famous TRIE data structure. We have already seen enough about this data structure in steps and this becomes so handy in this particular problem.
A TRIE data structure simply stores the data that becomes easy for retrieval. But lets not bother about the retrieval part in this particular problem. We will simply increase our counter whenever we add a new folder to the existing directory structure. The place where we optimize this problem involves in its running time. Whenever we see a new directory structure, we simply pass through it in the length times instead which is linear in time jargons. The solution is given below.


The rise of the internet has given way for so many people to become entrepreneurs that may not have been able to do so in the past.
This is especially true of social media, which helps business owners attract more potential customers, and allows them to build business relationships in ways that would not have been possible. Here are a few simple ways that you can use social media to take advantage of the holiday season to promote and sell your products.
Some people start shopping early (some have all their Christmas shopping completed and presents wrapped before Halloween) so a holiday social media campaign must start early. Even if your potential customers haven't actually started to buy presents, they are looking around for ideas, so you want to be front of mind.
Although there is nothing worse than flashy Christmas promotions before Halloween, or Valentine's Day hearts in stores while the tree is still up, it is ok to mention a product line ahead of the next gift giving season.
What do you think of when you see red, green, white and a little bit of gold? Right, Christmas.
How about red, pink, and white? Sure, Valentine's Day.
Try this one: pastel shades of green, yellow, and pink? Yes, Easter!
Implementing these shades into your holiday graphics can swing your followers into a festive spirit so add them to the images, cover pictures, headers, and advertising several weeks ahead of the next holiday season.
If you write a blog along with your business, do a roundup of great products suitable for the upcoming holiday, or better still, a list of reasons that no one should do without your fantastic line up, and share the post on your social media platforms.
A quick Google search will give you a list of well-loved seasonal hashtags. Just a recap, if you are new to social media, a hashtag is this symbol: # and is used to help collate likeminded ideas from different profiles. For example, a quick search for most popular social media hashtags for Christmas came up with #christmas #merrychristmas #xmas and #merryxmas, just as a sample. Anyone can, and will do, a quick search of a specific hashtag to find all the related posts in one place.
One of the greatest parts of social media is that it allows you to build a relationship with your potential customers. It gives you an opportunity to get to know them, as they post comments and questions on your page. It is also an opportunity for them to get to know you. And let's be honest: people do business with people they know and like, so this is important!
Use social media to post about you and your family as appropriate, though don't share too much of yourself, and never give out details that give away your home address or the name of your child's school.
What you can do is post a pretty pic of the first snowfall in your backyard or a photo of your family enjoying mugs of hot chocolate (before Christmas). This is a double whammy if you are able to feature your product within the shot. For example, if you create mugs, then be sure to use those mugs, naturally placed, in a shot of your family.
No, this isn't about finally proposing to the love of your life,it's about getting your social media followers engaging on your platforms. Ask your readers to share their on holiday memories, ask about their favorite gift of all time or whether they still have a present that was given to them as a child.
People love to talk about themselves and this can help build that great rapport that you are seeking. One thing to remember though: it is important to continue to engage with your followers as they comment on your post, don't simply ask a questions and walk away. The key here is engagement so if they take time to post a comment, be sure you take the time to acknowledge their effort with a thank you or story of your own.
Remember: People do business with friends, so seek to build the relationship between you and your potential customers.
Shipping dates and prices are a key concern for any retailer over holiday time and are front of mind for customers too. Prominently posting about how many days left for free or reduced cost shipping, or how long an item can still be shipped in time to arrive at its destination before the holiday is informative for your customers and it also adds a sense of urgency to their consideration.
Since most of the shops are offering discount on holiday season, make sure you are providing discount for your customer. Binding a discount coupon with purchase limit is a good idea to increase sales. For example, you can offer 5% discount on $70+ orders. To get that discount, people often buy extra items to reach that $70 mark.
Adding a discount code in your store is not the end of world, you can promote your codes through coupon site like GiveMeDeals. Don't forget to send an email to your subscriber about the offer.
A good ad on social media will get you more bang for your buck than most any other paid form of marketing. In fact, you can use the above steps to implement an amazing holiday social media campaign. Create an ad using colors reminiscent of the holiday you are promoting and link back to a blog explaining how great your product is. An ideal feature about such advertising is that you can see how effective it is in less than one day, so if you arenot generating the traffic you were looking for, just make some tweaks to the copy and graphics before activating again.
Contests are always a huge way to draw in followers and potential customers so add in a competition that has a little holiday flair. Ask entrants to come up with a great new hashtag, product idea or post a photo of their own holidaythemed decorations to get them a chance at winning your product.
At the end of the day, social media is fun way to share your products, engage with followers, and even build your customer base, so enjoy!


Definition - What does Pituitary Gland mean?
The pituitary gland, also referred to as the master gland, is a small sack-like structure found below the base of the brain that is responsible for a wide range of effects on various organs of the body. The pituitary gland produces many signaling hormones such as growth hormone (GH), prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), oxytocin, and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). During a woman's menstrual cycle LH and FSH rise and fall at different stages to support ovulation and menses.
The pituitary gland receives signals from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a small organ found at the base of the brain. It is responsible for coordinating the endocrine system (hormone release).
The anterior pituitary (front part of the gland) is responsible for releasing hormones that influence growth, sexual development, skin pigmentation, thyroid function, and adrenocortical function. Growth hormone promotes growth in children and muscle and bone maintenance in adults. Prolactin hormone stimulates milk production in women. ACT promotes the production of cortisol which plays a role in stress and maintains blood pressure. TSH regulates the body's thyroid which plays a crucial role in metabolism and homeostasis. LH regulates estrogen in women and testosterone in men. FSH stimulates egg release in women and ensures sperm production in men.
The posterior pituitary (back part of the gland) is responsible for hormones affecting uterine contractions as well as milk production through oxytocin. It is also responsible for reabsorption of water in the kidneys via ADH release.
Sometimes infertility is caused by hypothalamic or pituitary dysfunction. Hormonal imbalance such as too much prolactin can reduce estrogen production and cause infertility. Physical and emotional stress can disrupt FSH and LH levels which may prevent ovulation. Very low body weight as well as very high body weight may also disrupt hormone levels.

LT: March 3, 1865 Theodore Lyman
in Lyman Theodore
Our evanescent Chief-of-Staff, General Webb, has gone to Washington for a day or two, to see his wife. He insisted, before he went, that the Rebs were not going to evacuate Petersburg at present, on any account. "Ah!" said General Meade, "Webb is an anti-evacuationist, because he wants to go to see his wife, and so wants to prove there isn't going to be any move at present." General Webb is a good piece of luck, as successor to General Humphreys. He is very jolly and pleasant, while, at the same time, he is a thorough soldier, wide-awake, quick and attentive to detail. In fact, I believe him much better for the place than Gen. H. from the very circumstance that he was such a very superior man, that General Meade would take him as a confidential adviser, whereas the General does much better without any adviser at all. My only objection to General Webb is that he continually has a way of suddenly laughing in a convulsive manner, by drawing in his breath, instead of letting it out — the which goes to my bones.
It is not too much to say that yesterday was a day without striking events, as it was characterized by a more or less steady rain, from the rising to the going down of the sun. I wrote you a letter, I entertained the chronic Duane, and I entertained — oh, I forgot to tell you about him. I entertained the officer from Roumania, the one whom General Meade could not make out because he had no map of Europe. This Roumania, as I have ascertained by diligent study, is what we call Wallachia and Moldavia, and is a patch of territory lying north of the Danube, and running from its mouth, on the Black Sea, to the northwest, into the Carpathian mountains. As to the Roumanians themselves, they have the misfortune to be tremendously protected by everybody. Imprimis, they pay to the Porte an "honorary tribute" of 600,000 crowns, in return for which his word is pledged to protect them against all comers, which is a good joke, seeing he can't protect himself against any comer at all! Then the Emperor Nap considers them "une nation Latine," and so he is to protect them. Then the British protect them for fear the Russians should invade Turkey on that side. Then the Russians protect them because they want their land as a high road to Constantinople; and finally, the Austrians and Italians protect them, just to keep in the mode. Meanwhile the Roumanians seem to dislike all their kind friends, but still keep smiling and bowing round at them, hoping these protectors will one day get into a shindy, when they, the protected, propose to discontinue the honorary tribute, grab Bulgaria from the Turks, Bessarabia from the Russians, the Banat and part of Transylvania from the Austrians, and make a grand pan-Roumanian empire, with no protectors at all. All of which we shall know when they do it. Captain Botiano (that's his name) informed me that his countrymen were descended from Roman colonists, led thither by Trajan. To judge from the gallant Cappy, as a specimen, the colonists must have intermarried considerably with various Gentiles; for his face denotes a combination of Greek, Italian, and Turk, with a dash of Tartar and a strain of some other barbarian, whose features are to me not familiar. On the whole, I felt like saying to him: "Oh, fiddle! don't come humbugging round here. Just put on a turban, and stick five silver-mounted pistols and seven oriental daggers in your cashmere sash, and look like yourself!" For you must know he has received his education in the French army, and now appears trussed in a modern uniform, a cross between a British Grenadier Guard and a Prussian Chasseur. He talks good French and is sufficiently intelligent, and apparently well educated. We aired our Gallic for a long time together and discussed many mighty topics. He, of course, like all those who have the French way of thinking, was mildly horrified at the want of central power in this country and thought the political power delegated to the states was highly dangerous. They ought only to have power to look out for the bien publique. All of which was edifying to me, as coming from a descendant of a colonist of Trajan.1,2

Editor's Note: Theodore Lyman was General George G. Meade's aide-de-camp from the fall of 1863 through Lee's surrender at Appomattox. An intelligent and outspoken individual, Lyman's letters to his wife provide great insight into the happenings at Meade's headquarters. These letters, taken from the now public domain book Meade's Headquarters, 1863-1865; Letters of Colonel Theodore Lyman from the Wilderness to Appomattox and written by Lyman to his wife, appear here at the Siege of Petersburg Online exactly 150 years to the day after they are written. Since this site is concerned solely with the Siege of Petersburg, the letters start on June 12, 1864 and end on April 3, 1865. See the bottom of this and every other letter for a list of all the letters which have appeared to date. ↩

Who will be North Dakota's Next Secretary of State?
News, Politics, State
Three choices on the ballot
kim.fundingsland@mydakotan.com
MINOT -- Secretary of State Al Jaeger, a Republican, is not seeking reelection. That means, for the first time in more than 30 years, someone other than Jaeger will take over the duties of North Dakota Secretary of State.
Three candidates are on the November 8 ballot. They are Republican Michael Howe, West Fargo; Democrat Jeffrey Powell, Grand Forks; and Independent Charles Tuttle, Minot. The Dakotan asked each of the candidates a few questions about the November election.
Michael Howe – Republican
Michael Howe is a fifth-generation family farmer from Casselton. He is the managing partner of Howe Seed Farms. He has served District 22 in the North Dakota House of Representatives since 2017.
Michael Howe (Photo: submitted)
The Dakotan – Why should voters choose Michael Howe for Secretary of State?
Howe – When Secretary Jaeger announced in January, 2021 that he would not be seeking reelection, I had a lot of people reach out to me and say this is something I should consider, you have a skill set and qualities that would really lend itself to the Secretary of State's office.
I gave it a lot of thought, from July to January to make the decision. The office is 40 different duties. Among them is chief elections officer, license every single business that comes through the state of North Dakota.
I have three main reasons for running. I want to preserve and protect North Dakota's election integrity. I want to make North Dakota the easiest place to start a business. I want to ensure that our natural resources remains for generations to come. Those are my three points as to why I jumped in the race and I feel my skill set lends itself to doing a pretty good job at all three of those things.
The Dakotan – What do you see as the big issues facing the Secretary of State?
Howe – One that has been recurring for a decade now has been the technology and website in the Secretary of State's office. Overall, the homepage is pretty busy. It's very hard to find things. It's not user friendly, I would say. That's key piece number one, making a user-friendly website that is easy for the taxpayer to use, coordinates well across the platform of state government. What I've heard from business owners, big and small, is that they want to see an easier to use website that's compatible with their mobile device and different state agencies.
The Dakotan – A term limits measure is on the ballot. Your views?
Howe – I find it a little odd that it's just for the Governor. I think we're free of term limits across the board with the executive branch, Secretary of State included. As it relates to the legislature, eight years in the House, eight years in the Senate, that's not a lot of time to build up knowledge and get the best government possible.
We're a part-time legislature with a full-time bureaucracy. I don't know if term limits is the right course of action. Again, if we are going to do term limits, why not the full executive branch? Maybe 16 years across the board.
The legislature missed an opportunity here too. People can get entrenched in the legislature, that's a fair criticism, but we should term limit ourselves as far as chairmanship of committees. If you are House appropriations chairman, been so for a decade, you can remain on the committee but maybe pass the gavel to somebody else. The legislature could have been proactive that way.
The Dakotan – Any final comments?
Howe – I've been on the campaign trail for eight months. There's a lot of positive momentum on our side. Response has been great in all four corners of the state, so I feel real confident that we're well on our way to a good night on November 8.
I will be very honored and very humbled to be the next Secretary of State. I'm excited to do the work for the people of North Dakota. It's an important job and I really appreciate a vote on November 8.
Jeffrey Powell – Democrat
Jeffrey Powell is an educator and administrator at Mayville State University. He resides in Grand Forks. This is his first run for statewide office. Powell had an unsuccessful bid for Grand Forks city council in 2016.

The Dakotan – Why did you decide to enter the Secretary of State race and why should voters choose you in November?
Powell – I love politics. I love voting, and I love Democracy. One of the things that has been clear over the last couple of election cycles is that there are forces at work that are purposely trying to undermine people's beliefs that Democracy is a good system, or that voting systems are secure and accurate.
I felt like I needed to step forward to make sure that people who believe in Democracy, and believe in the integrity of voting, had somebody to vote for. I think I am unique among the three of us who are running in that I am a skilled administrator, that I manage budgets on a regular basis. I have a skill set that is uniquely set to be somebody like the Secretary of State.
The Dakotan – What do you feel are issues currently faced by the Secretary of State?
Powell – I think there needs to be some clarity around the petitioning process, both for candidates and for issues. Clearly, we had one of the two measures on this ballot that went through without any issues from the Secretary of State because the group followed the protocol that had been described.
The second group, it is not yet known whether they did anything illegal, but certainly did some things that seemed unseemly to the Secretary's office. The Secretary and the Attorney General both struck down a number of signatures which the Supreme Court overruled the appellate court and said these are legal and legitimate.
So, the legislature is going to have to be involved with defining and describing what it is that is part of the ballot measures and what constitutes a legal and what constitutes a not recognized signature.
I have put out six new laws that I think would make our election system better. They are on my website at powellfornd.com.
The Dakotan – What is your position on term limits as defined in Measure No. 1?
Powell – I was on stage with Charles Tuttle three weeks ago and I said I think that lobbyists are the best beneficiaries of term limits. I don't think we need more money in politics and I don't think we need to give more power to lobbyists. Terms limits are about a symptom, they are not about a cure.
If we believe we have people who are staying in office too long, then we need to look at how it is they managed to keep that office. Primarily, the best way to attack that is by doing something that looks like a public financing program so that the bias toward incumbents is mitigated by reducing the amount of money they have to spend and by increasing the amount of money opponents have to spend.
The Dakotan – Any comment on your opponents?
Powell – Charles is trying to play Michael Howe as Michael is not enough of a conservative. I think that is an interesting take on someone I think is too conservative for North Dakota.
We know that Michael, his family farm, has taken a million bucks in the six years that he's been in office as part of farm subsidies. The guy clearly knows how to monetize his position. I think that is something Republicans are good at and I think it is something conservatives consistently do.
Powell – I think that what we need is, somebody in the big building in Bismarck that is a Democrat, just so all of the other officers have one person that can kind of keep an eye on whether there is shenanigans going on. I think, even if you don't tend to vote for Democrats, I'm the right one to vote for.
I am the only candidate who wants to preserve, or even expand, our voting systems. One candidate is running on a platform to eliminate drop boxes, end mail-based voting. The other guy voted, in the legislature, for a resolution that refuses voting rights for all Americans.
I am unique among the three of us in my commitment to keeping our voting systems intact and ballots accessible to all eligible voters.
Charles Tuttle--Independent
Charles Tuttle ran for election for North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction, losing as a write-in in the general election on November 3, 2020. Though the North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction position is nonpartisan, Tuttle sought the Republican Party's support in the election. He also ran an unsuccessful campaign as an independent for the U.S. House in 2018, a position won by Kelly Armstrong, R-ND.
Charles Tuttle (Photo: submitted)
The Dakotan – What's your view on the upcoming election?
Tuttle – I've been speaking out about North Dakota first forever. We should have under a dollar a gallon gas because we produce the oil. I want North Dakota to benefit from the wealth of North Dakota. Every oil producing community in the world has under a dollar per gallon gas. We should too.
We have a $2 ½-billion dollar surplus and climbing. We can reduce unbelievable food prices, inflation – maybe we need a food processing plant in North Dakota.
The Dakotan – Term limits is one of the issues that will go before the voters in November. Thoughts?
Tuttle – We know Governor Doug Burgum plotted and planned to get rid of term limits.
The Dakotan – But he has come out in favor of the measure.
Tuttle –That's because he is a liar.
The Dakotan – Why vote for Charles Tuttle rather than opponents Jeffrey Powell or Michael Howe?
Tuttle – Howe? They've got him hidden in the basement. He won't come out. I've got a new slogan, "Let Tuttle Show You Howe".
Our polling numbers show us that we are winning. The opposition did a text message poll. To be cute they left my name off of it. That invalidates their poll, doesn't it? Our poll must have triggered some fear in them.
I've invited Howe and Powell to debate. It's unlikely they will. Ask Charles Tuttle a question and he'll have an answer.

Watch an expert jeweler transform his AirPods into an 18-karat gold AirGolds [video]
Many people decorate their AirPods with creative skins for the charging case (those have been going particularly strong in South Korea). But if you want something more sophisticated, more premium and more luxurious than that, you need to be prepared to burn hundreds of dollars on pricey modding services provided by accessory customization companies, like Caviar.
As a poor blogger, I'll never save enough money to treat myself to a nice pair of gold–plated earphones from Apple, but that's not stopping me from watching skilled jeweler Pablo Cimadevila take his regular AirPods and turning them into 18-karat gold versions.
AirGolds, as he's calling them, are not for sale.
"The idea of turning AirPods into gold is inspired by the 'Think Different' campaign, the advertising slogan Apple used from 1997 to 2002," the author wrote. "The slogan has been widely taken as a response to IBM's slogan 'Think'. It was used in a television advertisement, several print advertisements and several TV promos for Apple products."
I've always been fascinated with ultra-precise manual work. To me, this video is like watching an artisan or an extremely skilled watchsmith perform their thing. Keep in mind that Pablo had to deconstruct his AirPods, then apply the ancient lost-wax casting process before coating them in gold and putting them together again — all without breaking the miniature earbuds.
It's also a reminder of a dying trade in today's world of automation and mass production.
But how the hell did Pablo coat those plastic AiPods with 1,800-degree 18-karat alloy?
Look closely and you'll realize he first put a plaster "ring" with the attached runners and sprue into the furnace in order to burn out the plastic enclosure. Only then could he proceed to allowing the molten alloy to flow into an AirPods-shaped structure.
According to Larry Medugorac:
After the alloy solidifies cooling, he then put the whole thing into a water solution where the plaster ring dissolves and nothing is left but the casting. The casting now needs to be separated from the runners and sprue to be hand finished, reassembled and demo'ed by the creative and skillful artist he is.
If you want to stand out from the crowd, consider dressing up your AirPods case in Twelve South's chic leather cases (available in several attractive colors) or Nomad's rugged cases.
Not a fan of those? How about the AirPods case skins from Slickwraps?

Albert Buell Lewis (June 21, 1867 – October 10, 1940) was the first American anthropologist to conduct a systematic, long-term field study in Melanesia, A. B. Lewis is best remembered for the collection and documentation of over 14,000 Melanesian objects gathered in the colonial territories of Melanesia during his time as the leader of the Joseph N. Field South Pacific Expedition from 1909 to 1913. This extensive collection and documentation is now housed at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois.

Early life
A. B. Lewis was born on June 21, 1867, in Clifton, Ohio. He was the only child of successful Presbyterian citizens, Charles Bennet Lewis and his wife, Anna E. Mckeehan. After the passing of Lewis' mother, his father remarried to Susan M. Waddle. Lewis would gain six siblings from his father's second marriage with whom he was very fond of and would regularly correspond. Lewis began his education at Clifton Union School, a four-room schoolhouse, completing first grade through high school. He graduated from the small school in 1887 with three other students. Lewis briefly moved to Santa Ana, California, after his graduation to live with his family, who moved there three years earlier. But this was short lived, as Lewis returned to Ohio in 1890 to attend a university.

Academic career
Lewis' academic career began with a pursuit of biological sciences from 1890 to 1893 at Wooster College and the completion his Bachelor of Arts degree in biology at the University of Chicago in 1894. For the next three years, Lewis was a biology, histology, and bacteriology assistant in the laboratory at the University of Chicago. During those three years, Lewis would often take courses in anatomy, physiology, paleontology, zoology, geology, and other scientific fields. Lewis accepted a position as a fellow and later as a lecturer in zoology, at the University of Nebraska from 1897 to 1902.

After completing his time in Nebraska, Lewis was accepted as a graduate student at Columbia University to study anthropology. Lewis had worked under Frederick Ward Putnam and Franz Boas in preparing exhibits for the Chicago World's Fair in 1892, as documents in the Putnam Papers at Harvard University Archives reveal. So when Boas began a graduate program in anthropology at Columbia, Lewis was well aware of Boas from his work on exhibits at the World Fair. It is at Columbia University that Lewis became a student of Franz Boaz. Early anthropology courses from Columbia often placed a strong emphasis on material culture as an analytical tool. This emphasis would become a key component in Lewis later life. Lewis's doctoral thesis, "Tribes of the Columbia Valley and the Coast of Washington and Oregon" was a library study that addressed the culture of a diverse collection of indigenous peoples that had been labeled as a mix of North California and Northwest Pacific slope cultures in terms of local development. Upon the completion of his dissertation, Lewis graduated with a Ph.D. in 1906 from the anthropology program at Columbia University.

Prior to his graduation, George Dorsey, curator and head of the Department of Anthropology at Field Museum of Natural History approached Lewis with the prospect of offering him a job should suitable funding be located. While waiting for Dorsey to find funding Lewis assisted William C. Mills with the excavation of Seip Mound near Bainbridge, Ohio. Having difficulty finding funds and fearful that Lewis would be recruited by some other anthropology department, Dorsey hired Lewis as an assistant, cataloging collections in the museum.

Time at the Field Museum
Lewis arrived at the Field Museum of Natural History in March 1907 after receiving his doctorate in anthropology at Columbia University the previous spring. He was the second student of Franz Boas to be hired by the Field Museum, William Jones, the first Native American to earn an anthropology degree, being the other.   A year after his arrival, Lewis was promoted to assistant curator of African and Melanesian ethnology. It is here at the Field Museum that Lewis came to fully appreciate the previous emphasis of material culture that he experienced during his time at Columbia University with Boas. Collecting examples of material culture and their data for the museum was of high significance to Lewis. Lewis's enduring legacy remains the collection of close to 14,000 objects that were acquired during the four-year Joseph N. Field South Pacific Expedition. Lewis would take charge of the expedition from May 1909 until about June 1913. After his return from the exhibition in 1913, Lewis spent the remainder of his time at the Field Museum cataloging collections and preparing exhibits that would demonstrate the areas of cultural diversity in Melanesia. Creating one of the largest and well known exhibits about Melanesia, Lewis opened the Joseph N. Field Hall for display in 1921 and it remained mostly unchanged until its renovation in 1986. He held the position of curator of Melanesian Ethnology at the Field Museum from 1936 up until the time of his death in 1940.

A. B. Lewis Collection
When Dorsey finally found funding to further Lewis anthropological studies for the museum, they resulted in what would be panicle of Lewis' research: the Joseph N. Field South Pacific Expedition. Joseph N. Field, the older brother to the museum's founder, Marshall Field of the department store chain, endorsed the expedition that led to building blocks of Lewis' life work. As the leader of the expedition, Lewis and his team left Chicago in May 1909 bound for Fiji. Researching the regions of New Guinea, New Britain, and New Caledonia, Lewis traveled to numerous other areas, amassing an ethnographic collection for the Field Museum unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Not only did Lewis gather over 14,000 objects during his four-year expedition in the South Pacific, but he also created one of the best documented collections of its kind in the world. In an effort to expand the newly formed Field Museum's collection base and establish it as a world-class scientific and educational institution, Lewis created extensive documentation to accompany the artifacts that were shipped back to Chicago. Lewis's collection documentation contains nearly 1,600 surviving expedition photographs, specimen lists documenting items collects, field diaries, and expedition correspondence. Systematically recording information about the objects in his collection, Lewis went beyond typical practices of the time of just noting where objects were made and also documented information such as materials, uses, and local names of objects. The A. B. Lewis collection contains objects from close to 300 communities dispersed through Melanesia. Lewis would go on to view both his immense collection and the experience of the expedition as two of his greatest achievements.

A registration waitlist is an electronic process that auto-enrolls students in closed classes as seats become available. This enables students to get into the classes they want without having to continuously check for possible openings. Waitlists operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so this process ensures that students who enroll sooner have a better chance of getting into a closed course.
Each college is responsible for determining if their class offerings should have a waitlist or not. If a waitlist is available, an orange triangle icon will appear next to the section in the Class Schedule.
For courses with no waitlist available, students will need to check regularly for possible openings. Students may add themselves to any number of waitlists but will not be enrolled beyond the maximum number of hours allowed for that term. Students may remove themselves from a waitlist by following the same process as if they were going to drop a class.
From myUCF > Student Self Service > Student Center, click on the drop down for 'other academics' and click on 'Class Schedule'. You will see which classes you are waitlisting and your position on the waitlist.
Auto-enrollment will run once a day until the week before classes start. During the first week of classes, it will run several times a day in expectation of students adjusting their schedules more frequently. Once the system has processed all students on the waitlist, the class will move to open status if there are any open seats remaining.
If you are successfully enrolled from the waitlist, you will receive a notification email (and text message if you requested it). Emails go to your Knights Email account, which should be monitored daily.
The Swap function allows you to swap a class you are currently enrolled in for a different one. If you are currently enrolled in a different section of the same course or in a class that has a time conflict with the waitlisted course, using the Swap feature will automatically replace the enrolled course with the desired waitlisted one when a seat becomes available.
You may search for the new course by clicking the 'search' button, or if you know the class number you may enter it in the 'Enter Class Nbr' box.
If the course is full, and is a waitlisted course, you will need to check the 'Wait list if class is full' box and click 'Next'.
If you choose to be added to a waitlist, you will get this page which allows you to opt in to receive text messages. Be sure to read the page below for more information. To opt in, check the box and click 'Continue', or if you don't want text messages, simply click 'Cancel'.
Review your swap. If it is correct, click 'Finish Swapping'.
View your results. If you asked to be placed on a waitlist, your position number is displayed in the message.
If you decide that you no longer want to take a class that you have waitlisted, it is your responsibility to remove yourself from the waitlist. If you have been enrolled from the waitlist and do not wish to take the class, it is your responsibility to drop the class before the last day to drop. If you fail to do this, you will be fee liable for the class, and you will be graded.
Do waitlisted students get in first?
Yes, the class will remain closed for standard registration until the waitlist has added or skipped all students on the waitlist. If open seats remain, the class will then open for standard registration.
Can I see who else is on the waitlist for a class?
No, you may only see your own position number.
I have Financial Aid; will the waitlist impact my award?
Waitlisted classes do not count towards your enrolled hours. If your financial aid requires full-time enrollment, be sure you have enough credits without counting waitlisted classes.


It's normal for us to replace old shoes if they get worn out, or if your clothes become faded we buy new ones. But we never really think about replacing our old toothbrushes. This is bad since over time they become less effective at cleaning and can be contaminated with germs. We need to begin to learn when it's time to switch to a new toothbrush and how to tell if you're using one that's past its prime.
So how often should we be changing our toothbrush? Well it all depends on your usage, oral health and personal preferences.


What questions should you ask your nanny or babysitter during your phone screening or in-person interview? Our insiders and real moms give you advice on the right questions to get the answers that will help you make a decision.
We are looking to interview sitters. We would like them to come to our house to meet our family and then play with the kids for about 30 minutes. Do you typically pay them for this?

SIMPLE STEPS TO HEALTHY EATING – WITH SOME INSTANT RESULTS!
I like to think that I wear the trousers in our household, but when it comes to cooking Simon – the food loving husband – definitely wears the (frilly) apron. He's a bit of a gourmet and, as you know, loves making beef jerky, which is great, however, he does have a tendency when cooking to be a bit unhealthy, he's a bit too liberal with the butter.
So when I decided that it was time to get beach body ready and change my eating habits, my first job was to convince him to change his cooking habits. There was no way he was going to get on board with this new idea if the meals were going to be boring and bland. He's fussy at the best of times & refuses to eat the same meal in the same week. Thankfully though he loves a challenge and once I'd laid down the culinary gauntlet he was away like a bloodhound on a good scent and relished the idea of making healthy food taste really delicious.
It's not rocket science knowing what is right and wrong in terms of food choices – but it's an entirely different ball game trying to put theory in to practice, especially in a way that is going to be truly sustainable.
So here are the steps that got us going and I'm pleased to say they've held us in pretty good stead.
Go on have one last binge – gorge yourself on those leftover pies, that hunk of chocolate cake and that last packet of Hobnobs. Or bin it, take it to the food bank, whatever, but just make sure the kitchen is free of all the obviously unhealthy processed food and indulgent goodies – that gorgeous ice cream, the sweets and crisps and don't forget that luxury variety box of chocolate biscuits left by your granny.
Macros – or macronutrients to give them their grown up name – are in every food we eat. There are three types – protein, carbs and fats. The key here is to eat your macros in the right proportions.
Protein foods should make up the bulk of your total food intake for the day. You then add in a moderate amount of carbs and a little fat.
So when you go shopping, make sure you take a shopping list (or create a new online shopping trolley) and stock up on the following foods. Be really disciplined about what you put in your basket.
Chicken & turkey, lean beef and pork, fish, prawns, eggs, protein rich yoghurts, cottage cheese, nuts & plenty of jerky & skinny salamis (protein snacks)!
Fibrous Vegetables of all kinds like broccoli, cabbage and kale. Sweet potatoes, wholegrain bread, brown rice & pasta, tinned beans & pulses (like lentils, chick peas, butter beans) quinoa, porridge oats, whole fruit.
All nuts & seeds, avocado, olives, peanut butter, cooking oils – olive, canola, macadamia & coconut oil, and oily fish like mackerel, tuna, sardines, salmon, trout, anchovies are also brilliant.
Have you got a selective memory? Do you "choose" to forget the half a bottle of wine you have each evening? Or do you sometimes slip a sneaky Snickers bar in to your shopping basket? Go on admit it. We've been there too. OK, once in a while it's fine, but if you are doing this every day, the calories will begin to add up and knowing the real calorific impact of alcohol, and the odd chocolate bar is really scary.
If you think about it our grandparents ate a lot less than we do now. Our general sense of portion control is…well frankly, out of control. We're just pigs. We need to get back to eating sensible amounts. This is why tracking (weighing) the food you eat and drink is really helpful during this "transition" stage as there is no better way to gain a clear picture of how much you are eating.
The easiest and by far the most fun way of tracking your food is to use a fitness app. We use MyFitnessPal, but there are lots of others on the market.
We're not the most organised of families but we found that roughly planning our meals for the week was a great help in the early stages. It means you buy the right foods, in the right amounts and you waste less. I found this was especially important as I wasn't used to buying so many high protein foods all at once.
But if you are struggling, start with one meal at a time – breakfast first. Breakfast should be your first high protein, healthy meal of the day. Try things like boiled eggs or scrambled egg with spinach and a slice of brown toast. Once you've nailed your breakfast, think about how you improve your lunch and supper. Take it at your own pace.
If you're great at bunging a few things together last minute then you're lucky and eating like this will come quite naturally.
We've always loved grazing in our house. We're so often out and about so we need to make sure we have plenty of high protein, low carb snacks to keep us going throughout the day. Nuts, jerky, biltong, salami sticks are all good choices!
Simon is having a ball in the kitchen, creating all sorts of quick and tasty delicious, healthy recipes. I'm also getting better at cooking so if I can do it, so can you! We've got some recipes on our website, but if you're feeling all at sea, and need some further inspiration, check out some of these websites and books. They're great and will get your creative juices flowing.
Jo Wicks #Leanin15, Hemsley & Hemsley "The Art of Eating Well" , Jamie Oliver, Yotam Ottolenghi (our hero), Ching-He Huang (healthy Chinese cooking), or the BBC Good Food Website are all good places to start.
Exercise is really important, because it helps build muscle, releases endorphins, burns calories and helps with stress.
However, they say that abs are made in the kitchen and its true. If you spend hours in the gym, without changing your diet, you will never progress.
So that's not too complicated is it? And if we can do it, I'm sure you can.
This new way of eating has done wonders for me but it's also transformed Simon – he looks better, feels better, has lost a ton of weight, but thankfully is still wearing his apron, albeit a couple of sizes smaller.
Any questions – please fire away.

Q: Why does robomongo not process an immediately executing anonymous function in .robomongorc.js? When I put the following into .robomongorc.js:
function doStuff() { return "hi"; }

Then I can find doStuff via autocompletion and do something like
print(doStuff())

which tells me the function has loaded successfully. However, it does not work when I put the following into .robomongorc.js
(function(){
   function doStuff(){ return "hi"!;}
})();

I'm currently trying to load the underscore library (which also loads up via an immediately executing anonymous function) into robomongo and I'm thinking this is what's currently stopping me from doing so. Any ideas?

A: Realised I was being stupid. The answer is because the doStuff function is hidden inside the closure created by the anonymous function. Therefore doStuff is not globally accessible.

Tales of Xillia Calendars
Elympios and Rieze Maxia follow two different dating systems. Elympios's timeline is called "Primia" and is currently at the year 4305 as of Tales of Xillia 2. Rieze Maxia's timeline is called "Trames" and is currently at the year 2294 as of Tales of Xillia 2 (Tales of Xillia took place in Trames 2293).
A year in Rieze Maxia has 336 days. As both countries are part of the same planet despite their isolation, we can assume that this is the case for Elympios as well. Elements explained below hint at Elympios having at least twelve months. We can therefore deduce that both places operate with a calendar of 12 months of 28 days each.
Rieze Maxia
In Rieze Maxia, the calendar is heavily influenced by spirits.
Rieze Maxia has 4 seasons, called Lasylph, Undis, Efreeta and Ragnome. Each of these seasons is influenced by the one of the Four Great Spirits (Sylph, Undine, Efreet and Gnome) that lends it their name. The power of the spirit rises during the first month of the season, reaches its peak during the second month and wanes during the third month to make place for the next spirit. A special kind of strong winds blow when a season changes. Those are called "interseasonals".
In addition to the seasons, weeks also have an influence on the elements. Each of the four weeks of a month is associated to one of the Four Great Spirits, and is named after a color representing said spirit. Blue weeks are when Undine's power is strong, red weeks for Efreet, yellow weeks for Gnome and green weeks for Sylph. The months' names are also associated with elements.
So to determine when one spirit's power is the greatest, we must look at both the month and the week. For example, Undine thrives during the blue week of the middle month of Undis. The red week of the middle month of Efreeta is when fire artes will be the strongest. Etc.
Seasons and weeks also influence spirit climes.
There exists superstitions based on the weeks. For example, each week has a saint associated with it, and it is not uncommon to name your child after the saint of the week they were born in, especially in Auj Oule.
Naming, original style
The Official World Guidance Book gives the names of all the months and weeks. Those are in fact French words. Their meanings are:
Vent=wind, Orage=storm, Calme=calm; Pluie=rain, Riviere=River, Mer=sea; Feu=fire, Flamme=flame, Cendre=ash; Plant=seedling, Arbre=tree, Foret=forest.
For the weeks, Bleu(e) = blue, Rouge = red, Jaune = yellow and Vert(e) = green. Bleu(e) and Vert(e) sometimes take a final -e because of French grammar requirements.
(Note: originally, the guide associated "Vert" with Undine and "Bleu" with Sylph. As blue is used to indicate water artes and green to indicate wind artes in the game, I believe that it must have been a mix up and have corrected it in the calendar.)
The week's name comes after the month's name. The week Efreet's power is the strongest is thus called Flamme Rouge.
Naming, localized style
Only four of the months are actually named in the game, and since the rest comes from untranslated side material, I had to invent the rest following the pattern established by the localization of those four names.
The four names spoken of are Orage, localized as Procella; Riviere, localized as Amnis; Cendre, localized as Ignis; and Plant, localized as Solum. Those four localized names used Latin instead of French, and so I have translated the rest of the non-localized ones into Latin. The table is therefore not official for the most part, but might serve those who wish to use localized terms.
The meanings are:
Ventus=wind, Procella=storm, Quies=calm; Pluvia=rain, Amnis=river, Aqua=water (1); Calor=heat (2), Flamma=flame, Ignis=fire; Solum=soil, Arbor=tree, Sylva=forest.
(1) I picked "Aqua" instead of "Mare" because the localization used "Ignis" for a month in Efreeta and "Solum" for one in Ragnome, and those happen to be Dawn of the New World centurions' names. I wanted to keep a small reference to the centurions in every season, which is why I picked "Aqua" for this month.
(2) "Ignis", used in the localization for Cendre, already means "fire", so I had to pick something else.
The weeks are Caeruleus, -a, -um for blue; Ruber, Rubra, Rubrum for red; Flavus, -a, -um for yellow; and Viridis, -is, -e for green. Like in French, Latin nouns have grammatical genders, and so the ending of the adjective changes depending on the word they are associated with.
How to write dates
In Rieze Maxia, days do not have individual names; instead it is the combined name of month and week that matters.
So where we say "Wednesday, October 22, 2014", Rieze Maxians would say "Plant Vert 22, Trames 2294" or "Solum Viride 22, Trames 2294".
They are also likely to express time in relative ways, and so would say for example "the first day of Plant Vert/Solum Viride" instead of the exact date.
Elympios
Elympios is a lot trickier because it does not have clear explanations. Instead we can find little hints here and there, but some of those do not really add up and for that reason I have decided to tweak it a lot.
The biggest hint we get about Elympios's dating system is on the GHS screens. Indeed, some characters have their screen set to display the current month. I will use Vera's GHS as an example:
Ignoring the characters in the background that make up Vera's wallpaper, the first line on the calendar spells "11月/jūichi gatsu", aka "November" (literally "the eleventh month"). The second line consists in the first syllable of each day of the week in Japanese (starting from Sunday, as Japanese calendars usually do). The rest are numbers, from 1 to 31.
There are however a couple of problems with that picture, which I will illustrate with the following images:
The designer typed in two 11's, and mistyped 20 as 22.
Moreover, as you can see in the next pic, the numbers don't align properly:
Underlined in blue are the days' names. As you can see, the three dates underlined in pink don't seem to fit under anything.
Fixing the column alignment and the numbering, we should have something like this:
There is another problem with that: months of 31 days don't fit with what we know of the Rieze Maxian calendar. And the GHS screens that display the next month (like Rideaux's or Julius's) have a calendar with the exact same shape. For the twelfth month to start on a Wednesday, the eleventh should then end on a Tuesday, which is actually possible if you make them 28-days months:
But with even months, there is no reason for the first day of the month to be in the middle of a week, so I have tweaked the calendar to make the first day of months start on the first day of the week. That way, the Elympion calendar can run parallel to Rieze Maxia's nicely.
In Japanese, months and days seem to be named after real Japanese namings. Note that in Japanese months are simply given numbers (January is "1月/ichi gatsu" = "1st month", February "2月/ni gatsu" = "2nd month", etc.).
Using our world's English namings would be the easiest. However, we could go with the localization's choice of Latin to name the months. The days could be named after spirits, a bit like ToA's calendar: Askaday, Lunaday, Efreetday, Undineday, Voltday, Sylphday, Gnomeday. The calendar would look like this:
No information is given for seasons.
Birthdays and Dates
There are a few known birthdays and time indicators in the games and side materials:
Elize was born in late Undis.
Wingul was born in Undis, most likely in Amnis/Riviere or Aqua/Mer.
Presa was born in Pluvia Rubra/Pluie Rouge.
Jiao was born on Solum Rubrum/Plant Rouge 10.
The first game starts somewhere in Amnis.
The party arrives in Lakutam at the beginning of Solum/Plant. This means that the first arc of the game took about four months. Three weeks were spent in Leronde while Milla was recovering from the Aspyrixis.
Since the GHS screens either display November or December, we can assume that the events of Tales of Xillia 2 happened during those months. Jude's GHS is the only one where a specific date is pinpointed: Undecimilis/November 9.
The reason Wingul's birthday can be narrowed down to Amnis or Aqua is that the infiltration of the booster lab happened in Undis when he was still 27. Elize's remark about arriving in Hamil in Amnis shows that the lab must have been dismantled that same year. This means that the infiltration happened the year of the game, at the beginning of Amnis (according to hints in Wingul's side story), just before Wingul turned 28.
The investigation report about the Zenethra's disappearance is dated Decimilis/October 2. This means that the hole in the schism/tsunami/Battle of Fezebel/Milla&Muzét's birth etc. happened a few days or weeks before (so in Ignis/September).
