Forestry is ancient. It's the identification and restoration of woodlands, the management of timber, and the stewardship of forests. It is finding the balance between human benefit and environmental responsibility.
Why study forestry at Sewanee?
The study of forestry looks at the important features, processes, and issues of forested areas that allow populations to thrive. Why study forestry here on the Mountain?
The Domain's 13,000 acres is a living laboratory. Here at Sewanee, you will be a student of the land. The Cumberland Plateau offers a stunning amount of diversity, so you'll never want for exploration. Topics include major tree species, forest biology, tree structure and function, silviculture, fisheries science, and U.S. forest policy and law. You will work closely with faculty, conduct research, and produce lab reports of findings.
FIRST DESTINATIONS: Forestry MAJORS
Sewanee graduates secure positions in a variety of fields. Some you would expect, others are a bit of a surprise. Sewanee prepares you for your profession and your passion. Below is a sampling of recent graduates' first jobs.
Forestry technician, Bureau of Land Management, Kremmling, Colorado.
Land manager, Forestry Consultants, Aiken, South Carolina.
Forestry technician (fire suppression), U.S. Forest Service, Delores, Colorado.
A Sampling of Courses
This course explores the identification, biology, and morphology of woody plants, with emphasis on the major forest species of North America. Primary focus is on the ecophysiological characteristics of species and their roles in forest succession, species distribution across the landscape, and responses to disturbance and environmental stress. Includes field identification of native trees and shrubs of the Eastern United States, with special emphasis on the Cumberland Plateau and the Southeast. Lecture, lab, and field trips.
FORS 211
Forests: Food, Medicine, and More
An exploration of the wide range of edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful forest products found in forests of Western and Eastern North America, including the forests of Sewanee. In addition to learning about the biology and distribution of these plants and how they are gathered and processed, students discuss the ecological implications of harvesting these interesting plants and fungi. Note: The class involves some eating.
Natural Resource Management and Decisions
A survey of theory and methods used in natural resource management analysis and decision making with an emphasis on forests and some other renewable resources such as wildlife. Students use resource modeling and decision-making software to address problems in managing multiple resources. Emphasis is on: evaluation of the effects of land characteristics, tax policy, risk, and interest rates; choice among policy alternatives proposed by competing groups; and application of concepts of management, policy, economics, and spatial analysis to land management.

Q: Why integer values are converting into string in json There is class called Smets2ConnectionStatusModel
@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
public class Smets2ConnectionStatusModel {
    private long timestamp;
    private smHanState smHanState;

    @Data

    @AllArgsConstructor
    @JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
    public static class smHanState {
        private String state;
        private String subState;
        private long stateChangeTime;
        private float hanSignalStrength;
        private Integer hanRSSI;
        private Integer hanLQI;
    }
}

In my API I'm passing values in JSON format (hardcoded):
@Timed
@PostMapping(value = "/status")
public void handleSESignalStrength() {
    log.info("Get status");
    String message = "{\"timestamp\":1615978156,\"smHanState\":{\"state\":1,\"subState\":\"lowfreqmode\",\"stateChangeTime\":1615978156,\"hanSignalStrCategory\":\"none\",\"hanRSSI\":0,\"hanLQI\":0}};
}

As I have mentioned, the datatype of state is String, still I'm able to pass an integer value (1). It is converting int to String and accepting it, but vice versa it is not true. Wherever I have mentioned datatype as String, I'm able to pass int values. How to fix it? I need it to throw an error while passing an int value.

General Motors issued a recall last week covering 619,122 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 cars in the U.S. for a problem with their ignition switch. Engines in these cars can unexpectedly shut off if the key ring is too heavy, which could pull down on the key in the ignition and take it out of the run position. The engine can also shut off due to "road conditions or some other jarring event," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports. Additionally, if the key is moved out of the run position, it's possible that the air bags might not deploy if there is an accident.
The automaker issued a technical service bulletin in 2005 "that instructed dealers to install a snap-on key cover if owners complained," Jalopnik reports.
However, USA Today reports that the GM engineer, Gary Altman, said during the depositions that the key cover was an "improvement" and "not a fix to the issue." The newspaper adds that the attorney in the Melton lawsuit against GM has asked NHTSA to make GM clarify the timing surrounding the recall.
GM dealers will replace the ignition switch at no cost for owners of affected Cobalt and G5 vehicles. If you own one of the recalled cars, GM says you should take all unnecessary items off your keychain until your car is fixed.


Our maternity ward, located on the first floor, has five birthing suites and 23 beds available for postnatal stay.
There are also two suites for non-labouring women with other risk factors. We encourage all women to 'room in' with their babies while they are in hospital.
Women who have an uncomplicated birth can expect to be discharged from hospital within 24 hours. Women who have a complicated birth are normally discharged between 48 to 72 hours after the birth of their baby.
To ensure the safety of you and your baby, the maternity ward at Armadale Hospital is a secure unit. This means visiting is restricted. Visiting hours to the ward are from 8.00am to 1.00pm for support people and siblings of the baby only and 3.00pm to 8.00pm every day for all visitors.
The daily rest period from 1.00pm to 3.00pm is especially important for mothers and their babies. Visitors will be asked to leave during this time.
When you arrive at the ward you need to press the intercom at the front entrance of the unit to gain access. You will be asked who you have come to visit, and may be asked to wait until other visitors have left. Visitors may be asked to leave at certain times due to the patient's condition, treatment or if it is the expressed wish of the patient not to have any visitors.
For the comfort and wellbeing of all patients, you are requested to limit the number of visitors to a maximum of two at any one time. Please note that a maximum of two support persons are allowed in the delivery suite at one time.
Visiting children should be reasonably quiet and supervised by an adult. Children are generally discouraged from entering the delivery suites. Exceptions may be made under prior arrangements for certain circumstances. More information about visiting a family member or a friend in hospital is available on the visiting page.
anything which makes you worried.
If you think you are in labour, please call the Antenatal Assessment Unit on 9391 2947 to speak with a midwife before coming to hospital.
When you arrive, please report to the ward clerk. A midwife will then conduct an initial assessment and will discuss a plan of care with you.
If you are in active labour from 35 weeks of pregnancy, you will be admitted into one of our five birthing suites. If you are in labour before 35 weeks, you may be transferred to another specialist hospital.
If you arrive at the hospital between 9pm and 5am, please enter the hospital via the Emergency Department and staff will direct you to the maternity ward.
In the birthing suite, you will be advised of pain relief options as per your birth plan. You may also use a birthing pool for labour or birth if you meet certain criteria. More information is available through the Using water for labour or birth brochure (PDF 355KB) available through the Women and Newborn Health Service (external site).
If you require a caesarean birth, this will occur in one of our operating theatres.
For planned caesarean births, please make your way to the same day unit according to your arranged admission time.
Here you will meet with your midwife, be reviewed by an anaesthetist and get ready for your caesarean. You can have one support person accompanying you into the operating theatre.
Our experienced team of midwives will assist you with your baby's feeding during your stay in hospital.
If you previously had difficulties breastfeeding, you may be referred to a lactation consultant during the antenatal period.
If you and your baby are well, you will remain together 24 hours a day to establish unrestricted breastfeeding and help you to learn about your baby's feeding and behaviour patterns.
For more information about feeding and breast care, please ask your midwife for a copy of the Infant feeding and breast care booklet while in hospital.
We encourage your baby to room in with you while you are in hospital and your midwife will assist you with any aspect of baby care you may be unsure of.
Your baby will receive a medical check by a GP Obstetrician or a Consultant Paediatrician before discharge.
You are required by law to have an approved child restraint (baby seat) for babies under 12 months of age fitted to your car. You or a support person must have the baby seat fitted to your car before your baby is discharged from hospital.
When you go home, you will be advised of the Child Health Nurse you will need to contact for your ongoing care and support.
The Visiting Midwife Service is available for women who are well and confident enough to go home as soon as six hours post birth.
This service is available to all women living within a 30 minute travelling time of the hospital. An experienced midwife will come to your home to check on you and your baby. For more information, contact the Visiting Midwife Service on 9391 2169.

Pumpkin, Squash Diseases
Angular Leaf Spot
Angular leaf spot begins as light brown, angular spots on the leaves. The center later drops out leaving a ragged hole. On fruit, gray, water soaked spots form. The spots crack and produce a crusty tan to white lesion. An amber colored ooze often seen on the spot. The disease is favored by humid weather, temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees, and by mechanical or insect injury. The bacteria are spread by wind, splashing water and insects. Use sprays of copper(1).
Scab produces irregular spots on leaves and stems. The spots have yellow margins and brown center. The center drop out leaving a ragged hole which is often confused with angular leaf spot injury. On fruit, watersoaked spots form and an amber colored ooze will come from the spots. The fruit spots become dark gray to black and are sunken. The disease is favored by humid, wet weather and temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. The disease is spread by tools, wind, splashing water, and insects. Use copper(1) or Chlorothalonil(0).
Anthracnose
Round watersoaked leaf spots form then turn yellow to brown with red margins. The center drops out giving a shothole appearance. Often, some defoliation occurs. On fruit, a circular dark brown to black sunken lesion forms with pinkish-orange spore masses in the center. The disease is favored by humid wet weather and temperatures between 60 to 80 degrees. The disease is spread by tools, wind, splashing water, and insects. Use sprays of Chlorothalonil(0) or copper(1).
Alternaria Leaf Spot
Circular tan spots with concentric circles form on the leaves. Defoliation sometimes occurs. The disease is favored by bright sunshine, frequent dews and showers, and temperatures between 60 and 90 degrees. The disease is spread by tools, wind, splashing water, and insects. Use sprays of sulfur(5).
Bacterial Wilt
Infected leaves turn dull green then leaves, branches, and whole plants wilt and die. When the stem is cut and squeezed, a sticky, stringy ooze comes out. The disease is spread by cucumber beetles. Cucumber beetle migration and feeding is favored by dry weather. The disease is favored by temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees and frequent dews. Keep the cucumber beetles under control.
Powdery mildew causes a white powdery growth on leaves and stems. Infected parts turn yellow, shrivel and plants are defoliated prematurely. The yield is reduced and fruit quality is reduced. The disease is favored by humid weather, frequent dew and temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees. Use sprays of copper(1) Chlorothalonil(0) or sulfur(5).
Cucumber Mosaic
Mosaic causes mottled dark and light green, crinkled leaves, with symptoms most noticeable on young leaves. Old leaves have V shaped dead areas extending from the leaf margins to the middle vein. The fruit are mottled, warty and misshapen. The disease is favored by poor weed control as many weeds act as hosts to the virus. The disease is spread aphids and cucumber beetles. There is no chemical control for this disease.

An extract from the novel Tammerkosken sillalla ('On Tammerkoski bridge', 1982). Introduction by Panu Rajala
I had thought there were a lot of books in the libraries in Oulu. But both those libraries were totally overshadowed when, having climbed up to the top of the Messukylä Workers' House, I began to cast my eyes along the bookshelves in the attic. A tallish and refined-looking librarian responded when I exclaimed aloud.
'Just under seven thousand volumes altogether. Some of them are out on loan. We'd like to have a lot more books, but getting the money to buy them is like getting water from a stone.'
'But you've already got an incredible amount compared to what we have in the rural library at home… In Taivalkoski during the war all we had was two cupboardsful.'
'You didn't have a lot of choice there,' agreed the librarian. More…
Kalle Päätalo – work hero of Finnish literature
Issue 4/1987 | Archives online, Authors
Finland's most profilic and successful author is a former forestry worker and builder, Kalle Päätalo. Since 1962 he has produced, on average, a 600-page novel every year. Published in an initial edition of 100,000 – which always sells out immediately – Päätalo's works are constantly on loan from the country's libraries, and there are lengthy waiting lists for his newest books. At a cautious estimate, around a million Finns read a Kalle Päätalo book every year. There are five million Finns. In relation to the population, the scale of Kalle Päätalo's readership is, in world terms, a rarity; perhaps unique. More…

Poems and aphorisms from four collections. Introduction by Erkka Lehtola
Let the healing epidemics out! There must be some.
The many-headed monster, the market ideology, it can simultaneously read, count and even write at least 666 works. And without the sign of the beast no one can buy or sell.
Those who can read know you only realise you've forgotten how

What a handsome winter we have here! If it weren't so dark, we'd see it. We could orientate ourselves on the stars with the beam from a pocket torch. Somewhere in mid-sky, I'd say, they come flying along on long lights.
As a child I said I'll do what I want. Now I want what I do.
Who's in the middle when the two sides of your face are side by side, as they are, in the mirror.
The trees that hide the sun are bright inside.
A frosty night when you feel the stars on your skin and discuss what you're wearing.
Somebody's walking over there, with an umbrella over his head, taking the rain for a walk.
I'm so delighted to find so much that's useless.
What a relief there's no longer enough time to get acquainted.

Maskuja ('Mickeys', WSOY, 1987). Introduction by Erkka Lehtola
When I was on a trip with my friend and there was a wide enough bed in the southern night for the two of us to sleep easily side by side, it was a big shock when, even so, I sprang up suddenly at midnight, and my friend did too, and there was a thud as our heads banged together and we saw stars, and in the morning no one could understand why we were so stupefied.
Micky ran to the barber's. 'Are you free? Could you do something with my hair?' He took his cap off. 'Look, all the hairs are loose at the other end.'
Once, out of sheer absent-mindedness, he was officiously helping someone onto a tram from behind; he grabbed their bottom, got a furious look, and spluttered,' Sorry, but I thought it was your bag.' More…

Keeping silence
The October sunlight filters through the dense pine forest. Nature is completely silent, waiting for winter.
Through the open window over the forest and the lake floats the sound of an old grand piano, made in St Petersburg in the days of the Tsars, a tiny, exquisite fragment of Tchaikovsky.
Mirkka Rekola is playing the piano. For her aphorism has become reality. In her book Silmänkantama ('As far as the eye can see'), she wrote: 'Trees like delirium, myself in twilight mood, I open the door, the forest is inside the house.' In these days of voracious publicity, Mirkka Rekola is an unusual and estimable figure in the Finnish media circus: she does not give interviews, does not open her home to the media, does not appear on chat shows or take part in other public entertainments. She avoids being photographed, shunning the camera as she shuns all other journalistic intrusions. More…

A short story from the collection Torni ('The tower', 1987). Introduction by Erkka Lehtola
The dog came through the door first, a big, long-haired brute. He hadn't said anything about it on the phone, but from the look on his face you could tell it was his and that he meant to take it with him into the forest.
He shuffled across the yard with his rubber boots on and a rucksack on his back. In one hand he held a camera tripod.
I rolled down the window.
'Wait a minute,' he said.
He walked behind the cars standing in the parking lot, over to his own car and opened the trunk. The dog twisted around his legs whining softly. He took something out and slammed the trunk shut. More…
Short and sharp

The latest development in Finnish literature has taken a couple of decades to emerge. Instead of the long, epic prose that was so popular for so long, we now have short fiction that often takes the form of the short story. Descriptions of country surroundings and vanished ways of life have been supplanted by prose that pulsates to the rhythm of the city.
At the same time the image of the writer has changed. Today's young Finnish author is not an amateur or someone who is forced to make his living by other means; he is often a highly educated professional writer with a grasp of many new and diverse fields of knowledge.
Juha Seppälä (born 1956) is a good example of this changed author type. He is a graduate of Turku University in Finnish literature and cultural history. He has never worked in, for example, a school or, indeed, had any other steady job. His job is writing, and he works to a strict regime, for there is much to be done: Seppälä has written many radio plays, television scripts and two collections of short stories which have had a very positive critical reception. He also writes literary criticism for a number of newspapers, including a weekly column for Aamulehti, one of Finland's biggest daily papers. More…

Q: Vagrant networking error with 2 networks cards (1 inactive) I've got 2 network cards on my Linux host machine.  eth0 is flaky, so I don't use it (ifconfig eth0 down).  eth1 is set up for DHCP.
In my Vagrantfile, I have
  config.vm.network :private_network, type: 'dhcp'

This works. Sort of.  The windows guest machine comes up with working networking on "Ethernet 2".  It also has an inactive "Ethernet" connection.  But I get an error on vagrant up, and it doesn't run my Chef recipes.  The vagrant error is
==> win10: Configuring and enabling network interfaces...
The following WinRM command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet 2" dhcp
if ($?) { exit 0 } else { if($LASTEXITCODE) { exit $LASTEXITCODE } else { exit 1 } }

Stdout from the command:
