— Edwin Abbott Abbott, Flatland
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (1884), PART II: OTHER WORLDS, Context: When my Grandson entered the room I carefully secured the door. Then, sitting down by his side and taking our mathematical tablets, — or, as you would call them, Lines — I told him we would resume the lesson of yesterday. I taught him once more how a Point by motion in One Dimension produces a Line, and how a straight Line in Two Dimensions produces a Square. After this, forcing a laugh, I said, "And now, you scamp, you wanted to make me believe that a Square may in the same way by motion 'Upward, not Northward' produce another figure, a sort of extra Square in Three Dimensions. Say that again, you young rascal."At this moment we heard once more the herald's "O yes! O yes!" outside in the street proclaiming the Resolution of the Council. Young though he was, my Grandson — who was unusually intelligent for his age, and bred up in perfect reverence for the authority of the Circles — took in the situation with an acuteness for which I was quite unprepared. He remained silent till the last words of the Proclamation had died away, and then, bursting into tears, "Dear Grandpapa," he said, "that was only my fun, and of course I meant nothing at all by it; and we did not know anything then about the new Law; and I don't think I said anything about the Third Dimension; and I am sure I did not say one word about 'Upward, not Northward', for that would be such nonsense, you know. How could a thing move Upward, and not Northward? Upward and not Northward! Even if I were a baby, I could not be so absurd as that. How silly it is! Ha! ha! ha!" Chapter 21.

"I am a much better person and a better writer having had my children than I would be otherwise. I would have missed a whole aspect of the human experience that's tremendously fundamental to things like characterization.
A lot of writers write as if the hero sort of popped out of the box at age 22 fully formed. And one thing that raising children does is give you some sense of how human beings really are put together. So when you go to put together a character you can have a more realistic sense of where people really come from, why they really behave the way they do and what a tremendous amount of life and complexity lies behind every human being.
But I think you can get that from being a father too. I think it's something you can do by growing up and being observant even if you don't have children."

In the game of cat and mouse between Greece and its lenders, it is not hard to work out who is the one that ends up being regularly walloped. What is more difficult to comprehend, though, is how Athens manages to be fooled so often.
Last week, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble mentioned in an interview with Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper the possibility of the International Monetary Fund not being part of the Greek programme. Undoubtedly, it was a significant comment as Schaeuble promised German MPs in the summer of 2015 that the Fund would be present and Berlin has always been a believer of the technical capacity and economic rigour that the Washington-based organisation provides as part of the troika/quartet of lenders.
However, Schaeuble's comments were vague and could be interpreted a number of ways. Was he trying to prepare the domestic audience for the possibility that the IMF might stay on the sidelines? Or was he trying to warn of the dangers for Greece of failing to keep the IMF engaged? His comments were so sibyllic it was hard to distinguish which of these diametrically opposite goals prompted him to muse about the bailout's future.
The Greek government, however, decided that it was the unique possessor of the code needed to crack the German finance minister's comments. Never mind that Athens (not just during the time the SYRIZA-Independent Greeks administration has been in power) has been consistently poor at interpreting the mood and motivations in Europe. Let's ignore that Greece is currently embroiled in a protracted negotiation over the second review of its third bailout because the current prime minister and his advisers came to power in 2015 with a completely misplaced understanding of the country's lenders and their modus operandi. No, this time Athens had every confidence that the Greek reading of the situation was spot on.
Within hours of Schaeuble's comments being published, the government in Athens issued a non-paper (an innocent term that belies the almighty mess it can create) welcoming the German finance minister's views and barely containing its excitement at the prospect of the eurozone proceeding without the IMF, whose role would be taken over by the European Stability Mechanism.
"The possibility of continuing the program without the IMF, or with its presence but without funds and therefore no central role, is a development which could lead to a way out of the structural impasse among the institutions," the non-paper said.
The Greek government has at various times over the past months made it clear that it would prefer the IMF to be out of the picture because Athens feels that it is pressing too hard for further measures and not hard enough for debt relief.
However, to pounce upon Schaeuble's comments and endorse them without even being sure of the context was unnecessary and foolish. This became obvious a few days later, when the German minister expanded on his previous thoughts in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
He stressed that a failure to get the IMF on board now (due to differences over primary surplus targets and the measures needed in the final year of the programme and beyond) would signal the end of the third bailout signed in the summer of 2015 and the need for a new memorandum of understanding to be agreed between just the eurozone and Greece.
"I wouldn't recommend this to the Greek government. But I would be completely relaxed. The German Bundestag would first need to discuss and agree on whether or not it approves negotiating a new program," he said.
The clarification that Schaeuble provided to the WSJ cast more light on his previous comments regarding the IMF and made it clear that he had in mind something completely different than the Greek government.
When all the pieces are put together, the message from the German finance minister is that if Greece does not agree to the terms the IMF is demanding (legislation of more than 2 percent of GDP in contingency measures that include pension cuts and a reduction to the tax-free threshold) it will be left without a programme. The eurozone would then have to agree a new bailout that would include tougher measures, as he suggested in his Suddeutsche Zeitung interview. Finally, Schaeuble (the man who recommended Greece take a time out from the euro in 2015) reminded Tsipras and his ministers that there is no guarantee German MPs would approve a new deal.
Rather than suggesting that Greece's problems would be over if the IMF dropped out of the Greek programme, as Athens indicated last week, Schaueble's message was that they would just be beginning. In the meantime, Athens managed to leave itself exposed by declaring (before it had thought through the consequences or knew the exact terms) that a Europe-only solution would be its preferred option.
It is perhaps no coincidence that a day after the German finance minister's WSJ interview was published that the Greek government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos told reporters in Athens the coalition is prepared to create a "mechanism of enhanced guarantees" aimed at concluding the review and satisfying the IMF. Although it falls short of the upfront legislation of measures the Fund has been calling for, it is the biggest step so far that the Tsipras administration has made towards a compromise with its lenders since the review began in October.
Even Tom knows that sometimes there's only another dose of pain waiting for him at the end of the chase.
The IMF has assumed a somewhat questionable role. The IMF has super-senior status, so it knows that - barring a miracle - it will not lose money on Greece while the EU will almost certainly lose money. At the same time, the IMF charges Greece at least 2% more in interest than the EU and, while the EU has an interest moratorium, the IMF does not. And to top it off, the IMF calls on the EU to make concessions!
If the IMF adjusted its interest arrangement to that of the EU, Greece would immediately have a great benefit. Why doesn't anyone challenge the IMF to do that?

The KMT And CCP: Continuities In 20th Century China
By Austin Dean March 14, 2014 9:00 am Comments: 0
In Taiwan, it is hard to get away from the image of Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Xinhai Revolution and one of the key figures in the history of the Guomindang (KMT): his portrait is on the money, in schools, museums, and a host of other public places. He is also the only KMT figure to be officially honored in the Chinese Communist Party's narrative of 20th century Chinese history, and even has his own memorial in Nanjing. The narrative of the CCP's triumph over the KMT needs Sun's legacy to fit events in Chinese history into a Marxist framework.

Horses, Donkeys And Sedan Chairs: Political Travel In Chinese History
By Austin Dean March 7, 2014 9:00 am Comments: 0
There's little chance Max Baucus, the incoming US ambassador to China, will make an entrance quite like Gary Locke's in 2011. Locke, the departing US ambassador, nearly broke Weibo when he journeyed from Seattle to Beijing in coach, carried his own luggage, then bought his own coffee. Writing in China Daily, Chen Weihua contrasted Locke's trip with the travel styles of Chinese government officials: "In China, even a township chief, which is not really that high up in the hierarchy, will have a chauffeur and a secretary to carry his bag."

J.P Morgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the world, can't stay out of the news. In the past year it suffered a multibillion-dollar trading error thanks to the "London Whale," reached a $13 billion settlement with the government over its role in selling mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 financial crises, and a $2.6 billion settlement for ignoring telltale signs of fraud from Bernie Madoff. If that were not enough, the firm is now under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the "Sons and Daughters Program" -- the bank hires the relatives of Chinese government officials

The Air Up There: Chinese Air Identifications Zones Now And Then
By Austin Dean February 21, 2014 10:00 am Comments: 0
For those worried about peace and stability in East Asia, there is plenty to keep you up at night: an international pariah armed with nuclear weapons under the apparently tenuous control of a young adult of questionable maturity; messy historical relations between regional powers; and territorial disputes that tie up political capital, inflame public opinion, and increase the chance of hostilities. If it's Tuesday, there must be a flare-up in the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands.
Mao And Money: The Evolution Of The Chinese Banknote
A lot of cash changes hands around Chinese New Year. Despite the convenience of electronic payments, China is still very much a cash-based society, and pink 100-yuan notes featuring the plump visage of Mao Zedong proliferate wallets, pockets, and purses. Most stories analyzing the Chinese demand for cash focus on the stress it puts on the banking system, but let's take a look at it from a historical angle: what can we discern about recent Chinese developments by looking at who -- and what -- appears on the renminbi?
Beware The Tea Leaves: Predictions About China At The End Of Qing
By Austin Dean February 7, 2014 9:00 am Comments: 1
The end of one year and the start of another lends itself to reflections and predictions. This year, the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I, brings a special sense of foreboding. It's been popular for more than a few years now to compare the 14 years preceding World War I -- a time of prosperity, globalization, and, at least in Europe, the seeming triumph of civilization over wickedness -- to the first 14 years of the 21st century. At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe drew a direct comparison between 1914 and 2014. The explicit question in this analogy is a terrifying one: is the world careening toward another bloody and futile war?
From Rickshaws to Audis: China's Misuse Of Public Vehicles In The 20th Century
By Austin Dean January 31, 2014 10:00 am Comments: 2
A jet-black Audi A6 with government plates rolls down the streets of Beijing and stops at a school, mall or restaurant. Out steps a teenage girl, backpack in tow, who surely can't be a government official -- but just might be the daughter of one. Secretly, every pedestrian scoffs and/or hisses. If last November's Communist Party announcement about the procurement and use of government cars actually pans out -- eliminating all but a select number (取消一般公车) -- familiar scenes like these may no longer dominate urban landscapes.

31 year old Cavan Cachene will go to trial in Strathmore late this coming summer.
A Lethbridge man who's accused of armed robbery and fleeing from police in Chestermere will go to trial this summer.
31 year old Cavan Cachene was arrested in November when RCMP responded to a possible robbery at a restaurant in Chestermere. It's alleged that the suspect also brandished a gun.
The suspect fled police at high speeds down Highway 1, but he was eventually stopped and arrested. RCMP say the robbery attempt happened between people who knew each other.
Cachene's trial is set for Aug. 27th in Strathmore.

Michelin in Dundee to close for two weeks due to coronavirus concerns
by Lindsey Hamilton
Michelin Dundee.
Dundee's Michelin factory is to close for two weeks in a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Bosses at the tyre manufacturer have reassured workers they will not lose wages as a result.
They have however asked staff not to go out to public places such as pubs and restaurants, in accordance with government advice.
The factory's last production shift will be on March 27, with a scheduled reopening of April 13.
>> Keep up to date with the latest news with Evening Telegraph newsletter
In a message to factory workers, plant manager John Reid said: "In line with Michelin's management of its sites across Europe we have decided to close the factory for a two week period.
"This measure is designed to reduce the risk of spreading the virus within the workforce and to allow us to quarantine the site.
"To make this happen we've added a week to the already planned April stoppage, meaning our last production shift will be on March 27. This will have no impact on pay."
Mr Reid said that the firm's main priority was to support workers and help protect workers and their families.

He said: "To make this work we will need do do our bit and follow government guidelines.
"We need to stop going to pubs and restaurants, limit our social contacts, self isolate if we develop symptoms and take our hygiene very seriously.
"If we don't then the two week opportunity has been for nothing. Workers need to think about this and rake real care."
Mr Reid added that as part of the work at the factory the crisis team were going to set their own internal standards of behaviour and minimise the risk of spreading the virus.
He added: "It's also clear that lots of questions are being asked of the personnel team, managers and the unions.
"We will set up a question and answer list and share them so everyone has access to all the questions being asked and the definitive answers being given."

In a statement to the Tele Mr Reid said: "In light of the rapid escalation of the Covid-19 Coronavirus situation, we're going to stop production temporarily from March 27 until April 13.
"Short-term factory closures in Europe are making it difficult to source key materials and we want to make sure our employees are as safe as possible. We're absolutely committed to safety and we believe this will help protect our workforce as well as the wider community."
Bob McGregor of Unite the Union said: "The union has been in talks with Michelin and we have agreed to the factory being closed for the extra two week period as from next Friday.
"Workers will continue to be paid in the meantime during this closure."
"This is a very worrying time for workers in all sectors. It is clear that some people will lose their jobs and the union is working hard in a bid to minimise the affects.
Mr McGregor said he was concerned that if things continued to deteriorate it could take a decade for business and industry to recover.
He said: "The harm that is being caused is significant and we all have to do our bit in the meantime to continue to follow government guidelines and try to prevent the further spread of this illness."

Michelin is due to close its Dundee factory in mid-2020, due to a fall in demand for the smaller tyres the factory produced.
It has been working in partnership with Dundee City Council and Scottish Enterprise to create Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc, in order to "drive growth and diversity in the Scottish economy while addressing the global climate emergency".
Only last month Michelin announced it would relaunch a scheme which the company says will help create hundreds of jobs in Dundee and Angus, worth around £5 million.
The firm said "at least 850 jobs are expected to be created" and Michelin Development has also "targeted support for 850 new jobs".

Marathonisi is a small uninhabited island, just off the coast of Laganas bay.
The island's shape resembles a turtle and it is also a nesting area for the Caretta Caretta turtles which is why it is affectionately known as Turtle Island.
It is a lovely place to visit for a tranquil day of swimming and sunbathing. There are no facilities on this beach, so it is preferable to have water and anything else you might need during your swim.


HARYANA: Just days after a viral video of wife saving journalist husband with a pistol in India, another video has surfaced proving that women are a force to be reckoned with.
A lady in Haryana took up sticks to protect her husband from getting beaten up by a group.
The entire incident was caught on camera, and has been shared online by Indian news agency ANI.
The incident reportedly took place in Haryana's Yamunanagar, about 200 km north of Delhi. The video shows the woman running towards the attackers. Her husband is lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. Two or three men can be seen, all with sticks in the hand and beating the man on the ground.
The woman swings the stick and makes contact with the stick in the hands of one of the attackers. Another attacker tries to aim a blow at her, but she blocks it.
She then picks up another stick off the ground, which seems to have been dropped by one of the attackers. She backs away towards her husband and drops the second stick, out of reach off the attackers.
Earlier this February, another woman brandishing a gun to scare off a bunch of men who were attacking her husband in front of their house in Lucknow had emerged on social media.

What does an ophthalmologist do?

Would you make a good ophthalmologist? Take our career test and find your top matches from over 800 careers.
Take the free career test Learn more
What is an Ophthalmologist?
An ophthalmologist is a medical and surgical specialist that deals specifically with the structure, function, diseases, and treatment of the eye. The discipline of ophthalmology comes from the Greek word "opthalmos" meaning "eye," and "logia" meaning "the study of". Due to the complexities and the importance of the eye as a special sense that provides vision, the discipline of ophthalmology is dedicated solely to this organ.
What is the workplace of an Ophthalmologist like?
The study of ophthalmology dates back as far as 800 BCE, when the Indian surgeon Sushruta noted down various eye diseases he encountered among his patients. The field was carried over to the pre-Hippocratic era, medieval times, and the 17th and 18th century, with each period giving its own significant contribution regarding fluid anatomy, muscle function, and surgical treatment. Today, modern ophthalmologists have the privilege of accessing the vast stores of knowledge and surgical techniques built and developed by their predecessors. However, they are also expected to contribute to this special branch of medicine through their own research and study.
Ophthalmologists are primarily concerned with correcting imperfections and treating conditions of the eye that are known to cause diminished or loss of vision. They assess the condition of the patient's eye, diagnose any abnormalities found, intervene to preserve the sense of sight, and evaluate whether the condition has improved. They determine and prescribe the grade for patients who need glasses, and they may even open up their own private business that sells corrective lenses.
An ophthalmologist will also do eye surgeries including cataract extraction, lens replacement, cornea reshaping, transplants, retinal detachment repair, and glaucoma treatment. Most of these procedures are often performed with the aid of lasers and computerized surgical tools, but the majority are still done by hand.
Ophthalmologists can also operate on animals, as the eye's anatomy and physiology have few differences among closely related species. However, a veterinary eye doctor is often considered a different specialist with separate licensing and regulation. Generally, ophthalmologists are assumed to be completely dedicated to the study and treatment of the human eye, but some may find veterinary ophthalmology practice to be a more attractive field.
Are you suited to be an ophthalmologist?
Ophthalmologists have distinct personalities. They tend to be investigative individuals, which means they're intellectual, introspective, and inquisitive. They are curious, methodical, rational, analytical, and logical. Some of them are also social, meaning they're kind, generous, cooperative, patient, caring, helpful, empathetic, tactful, and friendly.
Does this sound like you? Take our free career test to find out if ophthalmologist is one of your top career matches.

Once licensed and regulated, ophthalmologists can open their own private practice anywhere and start receiving patients. There is also the option of being employed as a specialist in a tertiary hospital. Other career-related paths will be available too, such as public health employee, academic researcher, military doctor, sports doctor, community doctor, medical lawyer, medical school professor, and many more.
They can also participate in humanitarian benefits and missions all over the world where eye problems are prevalent but medical treatment is scarce. As an example, Dr. Sanduk Ruit is one such philanthropist who specializes in giving free cataract surgery in developing countries. His work has even taken him deep into North Korea, where he performed cataract extraction and lens replacement on impoverished North Koreans as documented by National Geographic. As an ophthalmologist, there are no workplace borders which limit the practice of the profession.
Ophthalmologists are also known as:
Comprehensive Ophthalmologist General Ophthalmologist Pediatric Ophthalmologist Retinal Surgeon Retina Specialist Vitreoretinal Surgeon Vitreo Retinal Surgeon Eye Doctor
Molecular Biologist

i have a simple foreign table defined in my VDB. I would like to allow users to query that table via some kind of fulltext engine. So i set up SOLR server which connects to teiid VDB via JDBC Teiid driver. It works as expected. However i don't know how to update documents in SOLR automatically from foreign table. E.g. if new row is added in foreign table, i want SOLR to index it automatically so users can do fulltext search in real (or near real) time. Does Teiid have some functionality i could use? I read docs but i'm not sure if SOLR connector is what i need here. I do not need to access SOLR documents via Teiid, i just need to update SOLR documents on create/update/delete in tables integrated by Teiid.
> Does Teiid have some functionality i could use?
As long as the insert/update/delete is processed through Teiid you have a couple of options. If you need row level handling you could instead direct the update through a view and use instead of triggers.
Note this can impact the performance of updates that otherwise could get fully pushed to a source - but it will be optimized out completely for selects.
Another other option be log an enhancement for exposing data events at the row or table level to a Java api that you can register listeners with.
If you need to update the search index based upon updates made outside of Teiid you'd have to look into CDC options, such as Debizium.
Thank you for options you provided. I'm interested mostly in CDC option. However if i understand it correctly one have to setup plugin in remote database which allow Debizium to work. Do you know about some solution which can work without remote database cooperation (plugins, settings, ...)? Ideally something universal as JDBC, not Postgres specific. If it doesn't exist - is my best option to regularly index remote database by CRON or something?
> However if i understand it correctly one have to setup plugin in remote database which allow Debizium to work.
That is correct for a Postgresql backend. Other sources Debezium supports require some configuration but are less invasive.
> Do you know about some solution which can work without remote database cooperation (plugins, settings, ...)?
Most will require some db settings, processing of transaction logs, configuration of where to publish events, etc. Otherwise you'd have to have some kind of protocol gateway or require clients to use specialized drivers, either way there's a lot logic that would need to go into understanding the statements and transaction boundaries - so it ends up being much easier to do CDC with some level of backend integration.

Three of Lehane's books have been made into hit movies: Shutter Island (directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, 2010); the big screen debut of Gone, Baby, Gone (directed by Ben Afleck, 2006); and the award-winning film adaptation of Mystic River (directed by Clint Eastwood, 2003).
Lehane was born and raised in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked as a counselor with mentally handicapped and abused children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos, worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers. His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance to tend bar. Lehane and his wife, Angie, divide their time between Boston and the Gulf Coast of Florida.

What does it mean to adopt a metadata standard? A case study of Omeka and the Dublin Core

The purpose of this paper is to employ a case study of the Omeka content management system to demonstrate how the adoption and implementation of a metadata standard (in this case, Dublin Core) can result in contrasting rhetorical arguments regarding metadata utility, quality, and reliability. In the Omeka example, the author illustrate a conceptual disconnect in how two metadata stakeholders – standards creators and standards users – operationalize metadata quality. For standards creators such as the Dublin Core community, metadata quality involves implementing a standard properly, according to established usage principles; in contrast, for standards users like Omeka, metadata quality involves mere adoption of the standard, with little consideration of proper usage and accompanying principles.
The paper uses an approach based on rhetorical criticism. The paper aims to establish whether Omeka's given ends (the position that Omeka claims to take regarding Dublin Core) align with Omeka's guiding ends (Omeka's actual argument regarding Dublin Core). To make this assessment, the paper examines both textual evidence (what Omeka says) and material-discursive evidence (what Omeka does).
The evidence shows that, while Omeka appears to argue that adopting the Dublin Core is an integral part of Omeka's mission, the platform's lack of support for Dublin Core implementation makes an opposing argument. Ultimately, Omeka argues that the appearance of adopting a standard is more important than its careful implementation.
This study contributes to our understanding of how metadata standards are understood and used in practice. The misalignment between Omeka's position and the goals of the Dublin Core community suggests that Omeka, and some portion of its users, do not value metadata interoperability and aggregation in the same way that the Dublin Core community does. This indicates that, although certain values regarding standards adoption may be pervasive in the metadata community, these values are not equally shared amongst all stakeholders in a digital library ecosystem. The way that standards creators (Dublin Core) understand what it means to "adopt a standard" is different from the way that standards users (Omeka) understand what it means to "adopt a standard."

An e‐mail survey was conducted by the Dublin Core Libraries Working Group to collect examples of Dublin Core use in libraries, and to provide input for the development of a Dublin Core application profile for libraries. A total of 29 responses were received from nine countries, describing 33 separate implementations of Dublin Core. The most commonly cited reasons for selecting Dublin Core were its international acceptance, flexibility and likelihood of future interoperability. Each of the 15 core elements was in use by between 59 percent and 97 percent of the projects in the survey. There was a high incidence (73 percent) of projects that use metadata elements in addition to the DC elements and approved qualifiers. The two most widely reported challenges involved in implementing Dublin Core were that there are too few elements and qualifiers, and the lack of usage guidelines.

The Dublin Core Metadata Standard was conceived illegitimately, had a troubled life, and has finally met its demise. Developed as a tool for online resource discovery, the standard waned after the arrival of Google. Because its fields were designed with a lack of specificity, Dublin Core suffered from nonstandard data elements and poor interoperability. Also, the poor organization behind the initiative contributed to its failure. Dublin Core will likely soon be replaced by an emerging standard, the Metadata Object Description Schema.

Recognizing changes in the information environment and related changes in cataloging standards, Catholic University of America's LIS program adopted a strategy to offer students three levels of knowledge in organizing Internet resources. In the basic cataloging course, the instructor raises student awareness of Internet resources cataloging and metadata through demonstrations and discussions. In the advanced cataloging course, students apply cataloging standards and Dublin Core to Internet resources and selected types of material, and consider issues related to the implementation of metadata standards. In the advanced Internet resources organization course, students obtain hands‐on practice in creating electronic pathfinders and using metadata schemes such as Dublin Core, text encoding initiative (TEI), and encoded archival description (EAD). The instructor's objectives are to broaden students' understanding of the types of resources that need to be organized, give students knowledge and skills for the organization of digital resources, and prepare them to redefine cataloging in the twenty‐first century.

The aim of this research is to define a data model of theses and dissertations that enables data exchange with CERIF‐compatible CRIS systems and data exchange according to OAI‐PMH protocol in different metadata formats (Dublin Core, EDT‐MS, etc.).
Various systems that contain metadata about theses and dissertations are analyzed. There are different standards and protocols that enable the interoperability of those systems: CERIF standard, AOI‐PMH protocol, etc. A physical data model that enables interoperability with almost all of those systems is created using the PowerDesigner CASE tool.
A set of metadata about theses and dissertations that contain all the metadata required by CERIF data model, Dublin Core format, EDT‐MS format and all the metadata prescribed by the University of Novi Sad is defined. Defined metadata can be stored in the CERIF‐compatible data model based on the MARC21 format.
CRIS‐UNS is a CRIS which has been developed at the University of Novi Sad since 2008. The system is based on the proposed data model, which enables the system's interoperability with other CERIF‐compatible CRIS systems. Also, the system based on the proposed model can become a member of NDLTD.
A system based on the proposed model increases the availability of theses and dissertations, and thus encourages the development of the knowledge‐based society.
A data model of theses and dissertations that enables interoperability with CERIF‐compatible CRIS systems is proposed. A software system based on the proposed model could become a member of NDLTD and exchange metadata with institutional repositories. The proposed model increases the availability of theses and dissertations.

This paper seeks to study the metadata requirements for setting up a digital repository in ceramics resources that would provide researchers and ceramic art professionals with access to the information as per their requirements.
The paper first reviews and analyzes various metadata standards and formats already available. Open software (Greenstone) is used to develop the repository and the paper discusses its metadata provisions. Thereafter, the paper focuses on ceramics resources and attempts to determine the metadata elements required to describe and organize ceramic resources. Existing controlled vocabularies to standardize content metadata of the repository are also reviewed.
The paper finds that selected metadata elements of Dublin Core and Categories for the Description of Work of Art can be used to describe and organize the ceramics resources. Local qualifiers are added when necessary to describe the resources. As Categories for the Description of Work of Art metadata standards are not provided in Greenstone, these were defined using GEMS to describe and organize ceramic art works. It also found that existing controlled vocabularies are not sufficient to standardize the content metadata of the repository.
A digital repository should also contain information resources such as video and audio‐video information resources. The study has not considered studying metadata requirements to describe such information resources.
This paper could be useful for others who want to develop their repositories in various disciplines.
Invisible institutional repositories: Addressing the low indexing ratios of IRs in Google Scholar

Google Scholar has difficulty indexing the contents of institutional repositories, and the authors hypothesize the reason is that most repositories use Dublin Core, which cannot express bibliographic citation information adequately for academic papers. Google Scholar makes specific recommendations for repositories, including the use of publishing industry metadata schemas over Dublin Core. This paper aims to test a theory that transforming metadata schemas in institutional repositories will lead to increased indexing by Google Scholar.
The authors conducted two surveys of institutional and disciplinary repositories across the USA, using different methodologies. They also conducted three pilot projects that transformed the metadata of a subset of papers from USpace, the University of Utah's institutional repository, and examined the results of Google Scholar's explicit harvests.
Repositories that use GS recommended metadata schemas and express them in HTML meta tags experienced significantly higher indexing ratios. The ease with which search engine crawlers can navigate a repository also seems to affect indexing ratio. The second and third metadata transformation pilot projects at Utah were successful, ultimately achieving an indexing ratio of greater than 90 percent.
The second survey is limited to 40 titles from each of seven repositories, for a total of 280 titles. A larger survey that covers more repositories may be useful.
Institutional repositories are achieving significant mass, and the rate of author citations from those repositories may affect university rankings. Lack of visibility in Google Scholar, however, will limit the ability of IRs to play a more significant role in those citation rates.
Transforming metadata can be a difficult and tedious process. The Institute of Museum and Library Services has recently awarded a National Leadership Grant to the University of Utah to continue SEO research with its partner, OCLC Inc., and to develop a toolkit that will include automated transformation mechanisms.
Little or no research has been published about improving the indexing ratio of institutional repositories in Google Scholar. The authors believe that they are the first to address the possibility of transforming IR metadata to improve indexing ratios in Google Scholar.

There were no second-round hiccups for Roger Federer at Wimbledon this year as he breezed past qualifier Gilles Muller under the Centre Court roof.
Last year Federer suffered his earliest grand slam defeat in a decade when Sergiy Stakhovsky caused one of the great Wimbledon upsets.
Like Stakhovsky, Luxembourg's Muller is a serve-volleyer, but Federer dealt well with the threat this time to win 6-3 7-5 6-3 in front of his parents, who were watching from the Royal Box.
The roof was deployed for the first time this tournament at 4-3 in the second set, with Muller complaining that the grass was becoming slippery before steady rain began to fall.
But it did not help the 31-year-old as Federer wrapped up victory in an hour and 34 minutes.
It was a serve-dominated contest, but Federer was having a lot more success on his opponent's delivery than vice versa and broke for 3-2 and then again to take the opening set.
Muller, who is being coached by Britain's Jamie Delgado, once beat Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon and he hung onto his serve through the second set until Federer broke again in the 12th game.
The Swiss seemed eager to wrap up the match as soon as possible and, after moving 3-1 ahead in the third, clinched victory when Muller placed a forehand wide.
Federer said: "It was really a serving contest out there, I'm happy I made it. The second set was tough with the rain delay, I was not having many looks at his serve."
The 32-year-old took a rare and nasty-looking tumble in the third game of the third set when he was passed by Muller at the net.

Historical note by Benoît MUSSET - History Ph.D
Lecturer in modern history at the University of Maine, 11 September 2009.
Champagne, or the production of the first-ever sparkling wine within a specific territory
Effervescence is an effect that has always been observed in wines. The first recorded mention is found in an Egyptian papyrus document dated 23 October 522 AD. Secondary fermentation in spring – the process that produces the bubbles in wine – is listed in this document among the factors that make wines unfit for sale. In other words, sparkling wines were considered flawed. 1
The literature of Medieval Europe refers to secondary fermentation, without really linking it to any wine in particular. In the Jeu de saint Nicolas (c.1200), northern Frenchman Jehan Bodel portrays characters tasting wines in an inn. Commenting on an anonymous sparkling wine, one of them says: 'See how it devours its bubbles, how it sparkles, shimmers and bounces. Let it settle for a moment on the top of the tongue, and you will find this an extraordinary wine to be sure.' 2
Some wines however, were known to have a natural tendency to sparkle – why, how and when was another story. Epernay wine, for instance, is described in a poem dating from 1320 as 'sparkling on the tongue, clear, brilliant, strong, fine and fresh.' 3 But it was not only Champagne wines that sparkled. So too did Burgundy wines, as shown in this list of wines compiled by a French physician in 1571:
Wine that sparkle in the glass
Such as the good wines of Tonnerre,
Chably, Aix [Ay], Beaune and Reims,
That folk of good health do drink
Throughout the cantons of France,
Are filled with such excellence,
And such vigorous spirit to the body do bring
That they are beyond price,
But they do withal need to be cut with water. 4
So sparkling wines were known to exist, but not greatly sought-after 5. As a precaution, they were usually cut with water, prompting the following censorious critique from an Italian physician (translated into French in 1572): 'the way they leap about in the glass makes them an ideal drink for the dead.' 6
The arrival of sparkling Champagne wines in the period 1670-1690 therefore marked an entirely new departure. Not only were they the first-ever sparkling wines to be tied to a specific region, but they also pioneered a very specific winemaking technique.
The English of course had already written a paper describing how to make a wine sparkle. Submitted to the Royal Society of London on 17 December 1662, it recommends adding sugar to finished wine shortly before serving. The actual winemaking process however remained unchanged, and the process could be applied to any wine.
The English Restoration dramatist Sir George Etherege is the first to mention sparkling Champagne wines, in his comedy of manners, The Man of Mode (1676). Within just a few years, Champagne wines were all the rage in England, with the French following close behind in the 1700s. 7 Nothing titillated the senses like popping a bottle of bubbly, though price remained beyond the reach of the common man. Making Champagne was a tricky and expensive business. The wine required more than six months' barrel storage prior to bottling in spring, and a further rest period lasting until autumn. The build-up of effervescence depended on their being enough sugar left in the wine by spring to kick-start secondary fermentation. Around 1710, there were fewer than 10,000 bottles of Champagne sold every year 8.
The problem was that Champagne producers had no idea how secondary fermentation worked. It often failed due to lack of residual sugar or, more likely still, the bottle exploded in the process. In fact, it took from the 18th to the 19th century for producers to get things right, eventually developing the methods that are still used today: cork stoppers, fastened with wire (originally hemp string); reinforced glass bottles; variable bottling date depending on year; the addition of sugar to the bottled wine; improved storage/aging conditions in cellars with naturally stable temperatures; elimination of sediment through disgorgement (from the 1780s-1790s onwards).
In the 1700s, sparkling (mousseux) Champagne wine was the only one of its kind. In 1701, Antoine Furetière defined 'mousseux' as follows in his Dictionnaire Universel: 'only said of Champagne wine that develops mousse.' 9 Towards the end of the century, Burgundian notable Edmé Beguillet (certainly no friend of Champagne) refers to the region's monopolistic hold on sparkling-wine technology. Writing in 1770, he describes Champagne as 'the only industry capable of bringing previously non-existent wines out of obscurity, and bestowing reputation on a previously unknown product.' 10
By the 1790s and 1800s, Champagne technology had in fact spread to other vineyards: Arbois (attested in 1792) and various places in Switzerland. In 1833, English author Cyrus Redding lists several regions in France that made sparkling wines: Die, Saint-Péray (Ardèche), Limoux, Anjou and Belfort. He also refers to Italian and German sparkling wines. 11 By the late 19th Century, the list had grown to include Russia, Hungary, Spain and the USA. 12 But the fact that the French terms 'champagnisation' and 'méthode champenoise' were appropriated by other vineyards from the 1830s onwards serves to remind us of where the wine and its techniques did actually originate.
Quality considerations aside, a timeline based on documentary evidence clearly shows that Champagne is the first ever sparkling wine to have been made on a regular basis by producers in a specific region. And that region is Champagne.

5 The theory asserting that sparkling wines were 'invented' in Limoux in the 1530s is not supported by available historical date. The first mention of 'blanquette de Limoux' is found in the accounts of a certain Sire D'Arques dating back to 1544. Included among his purchases were 'two bottles of blanquette' – a term referring exclusively to the grape from which the wine was made, not a sparkling wine.

All PSEO students in The College of St. Scholastica program are required to attend a special fall PSEO orientation.
Students are required to come to orientation prepared to register, which means they must have determined which courses they need to fulfill graduation requirements with the assistance of their high school guidance counselor before summer orientation/registration.
During orientation, PSEO students will take placement exams. PSEO students will work with an academic advisor during this session to prepare for fall registration. The Post-secondary Enrollment Options Coordinator will screen all registrations to assure they meet PSEO regulations. In subsequent semesters, all PSEO students will meet with the academic advisor for advisement and registration.
Proof of immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and diphtheria are required by state law of all post-secondary students. Students will receive a form with the accept letter that must be completed and returned. State law requires institutions to cancel enrollment of students who have not complied within 45 days of their first semester of attendance.
The state of Minnesota requires participating institutions to document the courses taken each semester by PSEO students. Students are responsible to complete their section and ask the high school guidance counselor to complete the secondary school section of the state form. This form must be completed before the beginning of each semester.
