01.Where in Perth Should I Buy My First House?
planned for, and it will give you a better idea of how much financial flexibility you have.
how much you can afford. This will help you to monitor your spending.
Keystart Home Loans is an initiative of the West Australian Government to provide low deposit home loan options for homebuyers who may not necessarily meet the eligibility requirements of mainstream lenders. The Keystart initiative aims to make the dream of affordable homeownership a reality for first home buyers.
The First Home Owner's Grant (FHOG) allows eligible first home buyers to receive a grant toward the purchase of a new home.
Who is entitled?: First home buyers who are buying or building their first new home.
How to qualify: Applicants must be 18 years or over with at least one of the applicant's being an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
How to apply: Applications can be submitted through a FHOG approved agent or made directly to the Office of State Revenue.
A Guarantor Loan provides the option of seeking a friend or family member to be your guarantor if a credit provider is not willing to give a loan to you on your own. This loan is also available if you are looking to borrow more than 80% of the purchase price but not wanting to pay for lenders mortgage insurance.
What are Variable Rate Loans?
One of the most common home loan options is a Variable Rate Loan. Unlike a Fixed-Rate Loan, Variable Rate Loans has a variable interest rate which can fluctuate based on your lender, changes in market interest rates, or the performance and changes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rates.
A Fixed Rate Home Loan means that your home loan repayments will be charged at the same interest rate for the length of the fixed rate period. Generally, this period is between 1-5 years of which afterwards the rate will revert back to a variable rate.
What are Interest Only Loans?
A popular choice for property investors looking at negative gearing, Interest Only Loans provides the option of paying for your interest only for a given time. This home loan will have lower repayments in the short term and may provide greater tax reductions. This option can give first home buyers with low incomes the opportunity to own their new home without much cash in their bank account.
Low-Documentation Home Loans are generally good for people who are self-employed or who have difficulty getting the documentation required for a traditional home loan. Traditionally, Low Doc Loans have a higher interest rate than standard variable rate loans.
A Line of Credit Loan, also known as an Equity Loan or a Reverse Mortgage, is one of the most flexible loan options available; allowing borrowers to withdraw funds from the equity in their property when needed. Generally, when it comes to an interest-only loan, there is no set date for the balance to be repaid by.
Non-Conforming Home Loans are suited to people who have a poor credit history or have inconsistent employment - e.g. those nearing retirement, people who are self-employed - or for those who wish to borrow more than 90%-95% of the property value.
04.What costs are involved to buy a house?
Stamp Duty is a form of tax applied to several transactions, including transfers of property and mortgages. In real estate, the buyer pays stamp duty. The cost is decided by separate state and territory governments, so rates vary. Usually, in WA, stamp duty must be paid within two months of settlement.
Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is insurance that lenders take out in order to be able to lend to borrowers who have a smaller deposit. Lenders usually take out this insurance when they are lending more than 80% of the value of the property.
Conveyancing covers the legal and statutory process of transferring real estate ownership from one person to another. Conveyancing fees vary between states, however, the average total estimate in Perth is between $1250 to $1900.
A Home Loan Application Fee is a once-off fee which is paid to the lender for setting up a home loan. Fees and charges can change depending on the selected credit provider, so it's always wise to check the latest information via your credit providers website or published booklet.
Unlike most Australian states, the energy market in WA has not been completely deregulated. Depending on where you live, your energy provider will be from either of the two electricity providers - Synergy and Horizon Power. For gas, Western Australians are at liberty to choose between a number of providers, so it's up to you to compare quotes for the best deal.
Home insurance costs can differ in Australia, and how much you pay for home & contents insurance depends on several factors including your location, size and the value of your property. If you want to save on home insurance, be sure to shop around and compare covers.
No matter how sizeable the purchase, writing every expense down in either a notebook or your budget planner will give insight into any expenses that could be cut-down or managed. Make it a daily habit and seek out a quiet time in the evening to sit down and track the day's expenses. At the end of two weeks have a look back at your daily expenditures and use the information to create an allowance or to tighten the budget.
Never deviate from your grocery list, and always make sure to buy only the essentials or bare necessities.Things like Uber Eats can actually hurt your ability to save for a home in the long run. Shop smarter by going to thrift stores for cheaper clothing and homewares or purchase groceries from an affordable grocer such as Aldi.
The next time you're eyeing-off a $100 shirt, think to yourself "Do I really need this?" Where you can, make more savvy swaps by finding a more affordable version online or think about making your own clothes, gifts, or homewares.
Most of us live with our phones close to our chests, so take advantage of this easy access by downloading a budgeting app which will allow you to track your spending anytime, anywhere.
It's hard to say no to friends or family wanting to dine out during the week or deny ordering your favourite takeaway, but this extra spending can burn a hole in the wallet. Instead of buying lunch, prepare meals for the week on a Sunday evening and bring your own to work. Get creative in the kitchen and recreate favourite dishes at home.
If you have a gym membership or a subscription to Netflix that you hardly ever use then perhaps it's wise to cancel in order to use the money toward your savings. On average, people spend $58 a month on gym memberships. This can be substituted for at-home workouts, going for walks or jogs, hiking in nature or setting up your own at-home gym.
To avoid temptation and curb frivolous spending, keep a close eye on your statements and factor in any purchases on your daily budget planner. Learn to budget with a credit card and if possible, lose the card altogether.
In theory these options are great for those wanting to purchase something upfront without having to spend anything. However, with a lack of budgeting, these 'buy now, pay later' schemes can result in expensive fines or repayments if payment is late or delayed.
A budget sounds great in theory but for it to work you must hold some accountability. Get into the habit of checking and updating your budget planner daily and learn to resist temptation if opportunities come up that may lead to mindless spending.
In order to make a budget worthwhile, think about your goal. If you hold your goal in your mind, each time you're tempted to order another coffee or go out for dinner you're less likely to deviate from your budget.
Make a visualisation board keep focused, note down your successes, and allow some indulgence occasionally. For extra motivation, share your goals with friends and family or on social media to maintain a sense of public accountability that can help motivate you to keep on track.
Our New Home Sales consultant was good and thorough, explaining every part of the process so I could understand fully. Prestart was awesome, our Prestart Consultant was so helpful, I really am thankful for her input into my home.This process was really good and quick to build my home, as I am a FIFO worker it seemed really quick to build with being away 2 weeks at a time, there was always a pleasant surprise coming back to see the progress after that time.
Thanks Craig & the team from Deb & I it was an absolutely fantastic experience to build with Gemmill Homes and we love our new home.
We had a fantastic experience during the build and our Site Manager was excellent. Our new home Sales Consultant was excellent and knowledgable too, he made our decision to choose Gemmill easy. We would only use Gemmill if we decided to build again. Our home has been completed with a high quality finish.

Durable Disposable Pulse Oximetry Sensor Results in Significant Cost Savings
General Ward Hospital and Clinic
Ryan Ward, CRT, RRT Clinical Manager Respiratory Care Department, Benedictine Health Center of Minneapolis, Minneapolis, MN
Abstract: This was a prospective study designed to assess the durability and caregiver satisfaction of two models of new Durafoam Disposable pulse oximetry sensors from Nonin Medical. The study was conducted at a long-term care facility that performs continuous, multi-day respiratory monitoring for patients on ventilator care or oxygen therapy. Ten patients were each monitored continuously for at least 30 days. Sensors were replaced as was determined necessary by the caregiver. Sensor use duration and durability were assessed throughout the study. Caregivers were surveyed to assess ease of use, efficiency, fit and patient acceptance. Results: The new Nonin 6500 Durafoam Disposable Sensors designed for extended monitoring were found to be extremely durable, lasting an average 14 days, while improving caregiver efficiencies. All of the sensors lasted more than seven days and 12% lasted 21 days or more. Conversion from traditional disposable sensors to the new sensor would result in an astounding 88% reduction in sensor costs, or an estimated per day cost of just under two dollars per patient. Additional advantages included ease of use, comfort for the patient and breathability of the materials. The sensors were well-received by the caregivers and would be recommended for use by 94% of those surveyed.
Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring is considered to be an industry standard in vital signs monitoring of patients. Conventional disposable pulse oximeters are designed to be used for continuous monitoring and are attached with a medical-grade adhesive. Applying the sensors can be time-consuming and the adhesives can be problematic for some patients who have compromised skin integrity.
Our hypothesis was that a new sensor designed for extended wear, the Durafoam Disposable Sensor by Nonin Medical, would reduce material costs associated with long-term oximetry monitoring and enhance the quality of patient care.
This was a prospective study designed to assess the durability and caregiver satisfaction of two models of the new Durafoam Disposable pulse oximetry sensors. The study was conducted at Benedictine Health Center of Minneapolis (BHCM), a long-term-acute rehabilitation facility. BHCM is 110 bed facility, with 120 clinical care employees. The patient care ratio is 6 to 1 on average throughout the facility.
The pulse oximetry sensors in this study, Nonin's Model 6500SA and 6500MA, are single-patient use, disposable sensors indicated for continuous monitoring of adult and pediatric patients weighing more than 30 kg. The sensor is designed to be durable and provide extended, multi-day monitoring. The construction consists of a flexible wire core encased in soft foam material which conforms to the finger when applied, eliminating the need for adhesives, while providing easy removal and reapplication.
Nonin tabletop pulse oximeters (7500 or 9600) were used in conjunction with the sensors. The Nonin Onyx® II 9550 fingertip oximeters were available for spot-checking and verification of sensor placement as needed.
Ten adult patients who were ventilator-dependent or receiving oxygen therapy and required continues pulse oximetry monitoring were enrolled and monitored for at least 30 days (range: 30 to 37 days) using the new Durafoam sensors. Patients were initially fit with either the 6500SA or 6500MA sensor. Sensors were replaced as was determined necessary by the caregiver. The sensor models were alternated to allow both caregivers and patients to experience both sensors. Patients included males and female adults (age 18 or older), with varying skin color.
Date and time of sensor application and disposal and reason for sensor replacement were recorded to determine length of sensor use and durability. Caregivers were surveyed at the conclusion of the study to assess ease of use, efficiency, fit and patient acceptance.
Use Duration. A total of 29 sensors were used in this study. Sensor use duration, calculated as the length in days from placement to removal, was approximately 14 days. Sensors which were replaced for reasons other than quality and/or cleanliness, such as end of study participation, were not included in the summary of sensor use duration. The use duration of the two models of sensor were similar.
All sensors lasted more than seven days and 12% lasted 21 days or more.
Sensor Lifespan at BHCM
The most common reason for sensor replacement was lack of cleanliness of the sensor (n=13; 45%). Four sensors (14%) were replaced due to poor signal. The duration of use for these four sensors ranged from seven days to 23 days prior to signal degradation and replacement. The remaining 12 sensors (41%) were replaced for reasons other than durability, including end of study (n=10), patient choice/comfort (n=1) and sensor fit (n=1).
The sensor removed due to patient comfort was a 6500SA and was being used on a patient who liked to write and found the 6500SA to be cumbersome for this activity. The sensor was replaced with the 6500MA model which the subject found to be satisfactory, allowing both continuous pulse oximetry monitoring and writing activities. The patient completed the seventeen remaining days of study without further problems using a single 6500MA sensor.
The one sensor removed due to fit was a 6500SA and was being used on a patient with small, slender fingers. Due to the specific size and shape of this patient's fingers, the 6500SA did not fit optimally. The sensor was replaced with a 6500MA which provided a secure fit and the patient completed the remaining 22 days of the study without issue.
Costs. While actual cost savings were not formally included in the study, by applying a known cost for conventional sensors and average number of sensors used per patient per day, the projected analysis indicates substantial savings. Conventional disposable sensors cost our facility $15.00 per sensor and are typically replaced daily. Thus, the average cost for adhesive disposable sensors for a typical 30-day patient stay would be $450. Based on our experience and a list-price of $27.50 for the new 6500 sensor, the cost to monitor a typical 30-day patient stay would be $55.00 on average. Replacing adhesive sensors with the Durafoam sensor would result in a $395 costs savings per patient per month, or an astounding 88% decrease in disposable sensor costs.
Alternatively, one can consider the per day cost of disposables for the two options. For traditional disposables that are replaced each day, individual per sensor cost equates to the daily costs, in this case, $15. For the Nonin 6500 sensors, the per day cost is calculated as the list price divided by the median use duration, resulting in an estimated per day cost of less than two dollars.
Further savings are realized in the application time. Caregivers report a significant time savings while applying the sensor due to ease of use, although the actual time savings is difficult to quantify. However, with the average replacement interval reduced from once a day to every 14 days, using a minimal figure of 2 minutes per application, the time savings on bi-weekly basis translates to an average of 28 minutes per patient.
Overall sensor cost of less than $2 per day
Ease of Use/Caregiver Acceptance. Overall, 76% of the caregivers found the sensors easier to apply than traditional disposable sensors, while only 10% indicated having any difficulty with the application. In addition, 82% indicated the extended-wear sensors offered significant time savings. Approximately three-quarters of the surveyed caregivers (78%) believed the Durafoam sensors offered a better fit than traditional disposable sensors. The only negative comments tended to be related to a preference of one model of sensor over another with regard to fit for specific size fingers.
"I like its ability to stay tight and
its perfect reading of SpO2."
The vast majority of caregivers (94%) indicated they would recommend the Durafoam sensor to other facilities. Reasons included time savings and reliability, secure fit and easy of use.
A secondary objective of the study was to assess if there were preferences for one sensor model over the other. In our experience, both models were acceptable and are needed based on individual patient characteristics. In general, model preference was dependent on the patients' mobility and finger size. Overall the 6500MA was preferred for fit and ease of use while the 6500SA offered more stability and was better suited for larger hands.
Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring through pulse oximetry offers an elevated level of patient care as opposed to spot-checking patients. Nonin's Durafoam Disposable sensor designed for extended wear proved to be extremely durable, offering continuous pulse oximetry monitoring while significantly reducing supply costs and increasing caregiver efficiency. Multiple advantages over traditional adhesive disposable sensors were identified, including ease of use, durability and comfort. The new sensors were able to meet the needs of a diverse range of patients in this study.
The most notable advantage is the product's durability, which results in extended use over multiple days and thus results in significant cost savings. Based on our experience, we projected an 88% reduction in disposable costs. This was based on our current disposable sensor price of $15 which may be greater than larger facilities and 14-day duration of use for the new sensor. Even with a lower comparative disposable sensor cost of $11 per sensor ($330/30 day stay) and a more conservative estimate of a 7-day duration of use for the new sensor ($110/30 day stay), conversion to the new sensor would result in a 66% cost reduction. In our experience, all sensors lasted at least seven days and so this duration of use estimate is quite low compared to the results we experienced.
When examined as a per day sensor cost for an individual patient, the new sensor cost was less than two dollars per monitored day. The shortest duration of use that we experienced for sensors that were replaced due to durability/cleanliness was seven days. Even in this scenario, the cost of disposables for monitoring is less than four dollars per day; more than 50% below published averages of approximately nine dollars per sensor (idata research 2010).
The Durafoam sensor material was well-received and reported to be comfortable by the patients. The foam material is breathable and soft against the patient skin. The material is similar to that which you would find on athletic ski goggles and thus by design allows for air flow around the sensor. As a result, caregivers noted less sweating and odor. So, although the sensor is used for multiple days, odor was not an issue. Caregivers compared the odor after seven days of using the Durafoam sensor to two hours of adhesive disposable sensors. An RN with experience in an acute care facility noted that the "comfort and softness would be seen as positive in an ICU setting".
The design form of the sensor eliminates the need for adhesives, which is likely to have also contributed to the cleanliness. More importantly, however, the lack of adhesive has the advantage of reducing potential skin irritations and breakdown. There was no incidence of skin integrity compromise throughout the study and the caregivers reported less need to reposition the sensors due to skin irritation. Included in the study was a patient with multiple known allergies. Although this patient had previously had reactions to adhesives in traditional sensors, the patient was included in the study and completed the full 30 days of monitoring with no adverse reaction to the materials reported.
The 6500 Durafoam sensors were found to be easy to apply and reposition compared to adhesive sensors. Training for the use of the new sensors consisted of a brief 15 minute in-service session and all caregivers were able to quickly position the sensors appropriately. The new sensor is designed with a guide-hole to assist in proper finger alignment during initial application. The construction then allows the sensor to be form-fit to the individual's unique finger size and shape, providing custom fit. Of even greater benefit is the ease in repositioning and reapplying the sensor following removal for hygiene or other needs. Whereas adhesive sensors can often lose their ability to adhere, the 6500 Durafoam sensors were able to be removed and reapplied quickly and repeatedly over time. Additionally, caregivers noted the simplicity of applying the new sensor when wearing gloves, when the patients hands were slightly damp (following bathing or sweating)—clinical scenarios which are all especially challenging when using conventionally adhesive sensors.
The sensors are labeled for use in adults and pediatrics above 30 kilograms. Although our study consisted of adults, we did have some fairly small, frail elderly patients in the study population. We found the sensors were able to accommodate their fingers adequately, although there was a preference by caregivers to use the 6500MA for patients with more slender, petite fingers for a more secure fit. Similarly, even the largest of patient's hands were able to be accommodated by one of the two sensor models. Overall, the two models compliment a wide range of individual needs based on finger size and shape, mobility, patient positioning/movement needs and clinical complications such as contractures. Given the two models of sensors, we were always able to find an appropriate sensor for the patients in our study.
The new Nonin 6500 Durafoam Disposable Sensors designed for extended monitoring were found to be extremely durable, lasting an average 14 days, while improving caregiver efficiencies. All of the sensors lasted more than seven days and 12% lasted 21 days or more. Conversion from traditional disposable sensors to the new sensor would result in an astounding 88% reduction in sensor costs, or an estimated per day cost of just under two dollars per patient. Additionally, advantages included ease of use, comfort for the patient and breathability of the materials. The sensors were well-received by the caregivers and would be recommended for us by 94% of those surveyed.

Приаральські Каракуми — піщана пустеля в Казахстані. Розташована на північний схід від Аральського моря, з півдня обмежена річкою Сирдар'я.

Природа
Місцевість є слабо горбистою рівниною, загальний ухил місцевості — до Аральського моря. Абсолютні відмітки рельєфу — від 55 до 118 м.

Територія зайнята горбисто-комірчастими пісками, закріпленими напівчагарниковою рослинністю. Висота піщаних горбів і гряд 5—25 м, глибина ячей — 3—8 м.

По всій території поширені улоговини, в багатьох з яких знаходяться солончаки і такири — глинисті ділянки, що мають в суху пору року тверду поверхню, що розтріскалася. Під час дощів і сніготанення такири і солончаки розмокають і стають важкопрохідними.

На території відсутні річки з постійним водотоком. Вода буває в промоїнах у період танення снігу і весняних дощів.

Рослинність представлена травами (ковила, полин, біюргун) і напівчагарниками (тамаріськ, джузгун). Повсюдно поширений жантак (верблюжа колючка).

Клімат
Клімат різко континентальний, посушливий, з великими коливаннями сезонних і добових температур повітря, малою кількістю опадів (близько 120 мм в рік).

Зима (середина листопада — середина березня) з мінливою хмарністю і частими туманами. Середня температура повітря вдень −5…−10 °C, вночі до −20…−25 °C (мінімальна −42 °C). Стійкі морози починаються в грудні. У будь-який місяць зими можлива відлига. Опади випадають переважно у вигляді снігу. Сніговий покрив утворюється в другій половині грудня і тримається до кінця березня; товщина його зазвичай не перевищує 16 см (у сніжні зими до 30 см). Середня глибина промерзання ґрунту 1,3 м.

Весна (середина березня — квітень) тепла з нестійкою погодою в першій половині. Температура повітря на початку сезону вдень −1…−10 °C, вночі до −10 °C; в кінці сезону вдень до +25 °C, вночі від −1 °C до +8 °C. Опади випадають у вигляді короткочасних дощів, іноді зі снігом.

Літо (травень — середина вересня) характеризується стійкою спекотною сухою і малохмарною погодою. Температура повітря вдень +30…+35 °C (максимальна +43 °C), вночі температура опускається до +15…+18 °C. Улітку часто бувають суховії (запорошені бурі), які піднімають в повітря пісок і пил.

Осінь (середина вересня — середина листопада) — у першій половині суха і тепла, у другій хмарна і прохолодна. Температура повітря вдень +5…+25 °C, вночі −5…+5 °C. Опади випадають у вигляді дощів, що мжичать, в другій половині листопада випадає мокрий сніг.

Вітри навесні і влітку переважно західні та північно-західні, восени і взимку східні та північно-східні. Переважаюча швидкість вітру 3—7 м/с. Протягом всього року (особливо в зимовий і весняний період) часто спостерігаються сильні штормові вітри зі швидкістю 15 м/с і більш (45 днів за рік).

Середнє число днів з явищами погоди за рік: опади 54 (січень 7, червень 3), туман 26, заметіль 10, гроза 12. Число ясних днів по загальній хмарності — 119, похмурих по нижній хмарності — 17.

Господарське використання
Завдяки високому рівню залягання ґрунтових вод (оскільки в піщаних пустелях опади просочуються в ґрунт, не встигаючи випаруватися) в Приаральських Каракумах рослинність багатша, ніж в прилеглих глинистих пустелях, що створює тут сприятливі умови для пасовищного тваринництва (вівчарство, верблюдоводство). Є велика кількість колодязів і артезіанських свердловин для водопою худоби, а міжбарханні пониження рельєфу служать укриттям від сильних вітрів, запорошених бур, завірюх. Таким чином, Приаральські Каракуми активно та цілий рік використовуються для випасу худоби.

Baltimore Orioles: Is the eye of the tiger really a thing?
Many folks would say that the Baltimore Orioles lacked the "eye of the tiger" in 2017. Instead, the likes of New York, Boston, and obviously Houston, all had it. But does that really make a difference?
I suppose it does. And I would submit that you'd be hard pressed to argue that the Orioles simply went through the motions this past season. Some would point to the month of September as evidence that they did, however mind you that this team was about as banged up as you can get. That's a tough way to go through the season.
I don't think that the "eye of the tiger" means anything per se. Professional baseball players are paid to play. And I personally believe that if you're paid to do a job, you aren't simply going to show up and collect a paycheck. You're going to do everything in your power to do that job correctly and properly. That's not an Orioles or a baseball thing, it's a human thing.
But what did some of those teams have this past season that the O's didn't? I would argue that it was the perfect storm. The Orioles were a veteran team. In general, experience is going to trump youth. And believe me when I say that I like veteran teams. You don't have to deal with as much drama, guys messing up, etc. However the down side is injuries. And that's what killed this team in 2017.

Bloodied but unbowed
Written by Dirk Tomsa
Dirk Tomsa
Back in 1998, when Suharto's New Order regime crumbled in the face of economic turmoil and massive student protests, Golkar seemed destined for the dustbin of history. The party had been the regime's electoral vehicle, and many of those who participated in the demonstrations viewed it as an artificially created and thoroughly corrupt organisation that had helped the regime to maintain a pseudo-democratic façade. Now that Suharto had resigned, many activists hoped Golkar would also disappear from the political stage. But despite widespread public anger and demands for its disbandment, the party has proven remarkably resilient. 'Golkar is like a zombie,' says a former high-ranking party member who left the party in 1998. 'You think it's dead but in fact it's always there.'
Golkar resurrection?
Golkar not only survived the democratic transition, it even re-emerged as the strongest party in last year's parliamentary election. Thanks to the incompetence of other parties and the persistence of traditional patron-client relations in some of Golkar's strongholds in eastern Indonesia, Golkar 'won' the election with 21.58 per cent. The results prompted some commentators to speak of a 'comeback' or even a 'resurrection' of Golkar. In fact, they merely confirmed that Golkar's dominance has endured the transition to a post-Suharto competitive party system.
This dominance has been evident throughout the last six years in a number of key political events. Although Golkar was only the second-biggest party bloc in parliament between 1999 and 2004, it still managed to steer developments in its own favour. Golkar secured the prestigious post of house speaker. It also dominated proceedings in many house commissions, contributed to the formulation of constitutional amendments and helped orchestrate the rise and fall of former president Abdurrahman Wahid. Beyond Jakarta, Golkar secured numerous Governor and bupati (district head) posts.
A favourable climate
In order to understand why Golkar has remained so strong, two things need to be borne in mind. Firstly, underlying patterns of national politics in Indonesia changed relatively little after Suharto's fall. Although the institutional shape of the system has changed, the appearance of a representative multi-party democracy is deceptive. Due to their lack of experience, most new parties have proven incapable of addressing endemic problems such as corruption, collusion and nepotism. On the contrary, many new parliamentarians quickly adapted to the political culture of Jakarta's elites, promptly succumbing to the temptations of power. In this familiar atmosphere of horse-trading and money politics, astute Golkar politicians have dominated the scene and often successfully imposed their will on other parties.
To best understand the second reason for Golkar's ongoing strength, one has to leave the shiny lights of Jakarta and venture out to the vast rural areas of eastern Indonesia, where Golkar support is especially strong. Here, politics is still primarily shaped by local gentry and influential noblemen. In South Sulawesi, for example, traditionally powerful families like the Yasin Limpo family, the Halid family and the Baramuli family have influenced local politics and business for decades. Today, Syahrul Yasin Limpo is the deputy governor of South Sulawesi and members of his family occupy positions in the district parliament of Gowa, the provincial parliament of South Sulawesi and even in the national legislature in Jakarta. According to local journalists, the prestige of the Yasin Limpos is based primarily on 'a lot of money, a lot of followers and a lot of loyal preman (thugs)'. And naturally, all family members are Golkar cadres.
For the party, families like the Yasin Limpos have always played a crucial role as vote getters because they represent the upper end of extensive patronage networks that reach down to the remotest villages in South Sulawesi. By accommodating the key figures of these networks into the party apparatus, Golkar has always secured large-scale electoral support, since many villagers simply follow the recommendations of their local leaders. Immediately after the fall of Suharto, this pattern remained essential¯y unchanged. Few traditional leaders switched their party affiliation as they still considered Golkar to be the party best equipped to facilitate their own power ambitions.
Yet Golkar's enduring strength in Sulawesi cannot only be explained by the persistence of patron-client relations. For many people here, the party does have some genuine appeal, if only because the other big parties are regarded as too Java-centric. Golkar, on the other hand, has always accommodated figures from Sulawesi in its highest ranks and has successfully presented itself as the defender of eastern Indonesian interests. But according to Dias Pradadimara, an expert on local politics from Hasanuddin University in Makassar, it is 'the low levels of education and the failure of the post-Suharto governments to improve basic living conditions' that mainly account for Golkar's ongoing dominance in Sulawesi. Life for the island's thousands of peasants had steadily improved under the New Order. Even during the financial crisis parts of the island boomed due to increasing exports. Only after the fall of Suharto did things start to deteriorate. 'Golkar didn't do too bad,' Dias says, 'so many people think, why not vote for Golkar again?'
Shifting loyalties
In 2004, Golkar still benefited from this nostalgic sentiment and the persistence of old-style patron-client relations. With a vote share of 44 per cent, Golkar remained by far the strongest party in South Sulawesi. But in many districts the party forfeited its absolute majorities and incurred heavy losses of up to 30 per cent. These losses indicate that the loyalties of some traditional local leaders have begun to shift. Although Golkar was arguably still the party with the best infrastructure, many local politicos no longer regarded it as the best vehicle for their personal aspirations and defected to other parties.
The main reason for this volatile behaviour has been a small but significant change in the election law. In contrast to previous elections, the 2004 ballot papers not only featured party names and symbols, but full candidate lists with photos. This suddeýly increased the chances for smaller parties to recruit promising candidates who normally would have run for Golkar. In Pare-Pare, for instance, a Golkar official complained, 'Golkar has so many good people; it is quite difficult to get a high place on its list of legislative candidates. At the same time, other parties do not have enough candidates, so they approach you and offer you the number one position on their list. Many people who used to run for Golkar have accepted these offers and have now entered parliament for one of the smaller parties. The problem is, people here don't vote for parties, they vote for their local leaders.'
One of these defectors is Zainal Abidin. A former district head of Takalar district and a long-time Golkar member, Zainal joined the United Democratic Nationhood Party (PPDK) in 2002 after he was offered the top spot on the party's provincial legislative candidate list. In addition, Zainal was also appointed chairperson of the provincial party chapter. In the 2004 election, Zainal ran as a candidate in his new home district of Gowa where he enjoys high rates of popularity, not least because he sometimes opens his garden swimming pool to the general public. With Zainal as the main drawcard, PPDK secured 11 per cent in Gowa, while Golkar slumped to an all-time low of just 36 per cent.
Whither Golkar?
In view of these figures, it is even more misleading to speak of a Golkar resurrection. To be sure, the party is still the dominant force in the party system. But it seems that in the last few years Golkar's power was based primarily on the weakness of the other parties, not on its own strength. Now that new parties have started to learn how to play the game, Golkar leaders may have to craft new strategies if they want to keep the party on track for the next election in 2009. However, the election of incumbent vice president Jusuf Kalla as party chairperson in December 2004 suggests this is rather unlikely to happen.
Instead, Golkar seems destined to remain a party primarily driven by its immense appetite for power. Kalla did not win the leadership contest because he had a convincing political program, but because he promised direct access to lucrative government resources. As one excited delegate cheerfully declared after Kalla had won the first round of the leadership contest, 'tomorrow we will get money'. It seems that old habits die hard.

IFG focuses on solving legacy issues as £0.5m set aside
By Damian Fantato
The new chief executive of IFG Group, parent of James Hay, has identified the resolution of its legacy issues with HM Revenue & Customs as a key priority for the business.
Kathryn Purves, who became chief executive of IFG Group in April, said discussions with HMRC in relation to Elysian Fuels were ongoing but to date HMRC "has been unable to provide a detailed response or further clarity".
As a result, IFG was unable to make a provision for any exposure beyond the £1.3m of legal costs already provided for in its 2017 accounts, she said.
Separately IFG has set aside a further £0.5m to deal with James Hay legacy issues "in relation to potential sanction charges and customer detriment during H1 2018", as part of an ongoing review.
Ms Purves took over at the helm of IFG after her predecessor, John Cotter, stood down when the board decided it wanted new leadership.
It came after the company looked into selling its advice business Saunderson House but aborted this process after deciding the offers it had received were "not wholly aligned" with the firm's strategy.
IFG Group has previously estimated that its total exposure as a result of the Elysian Fuels issue is £20m.
Elysian Fuels was sold as a scheme investing in renewable energy projects in the UK and the US, including in 2013 the launch of a bioethanol plant in Grimsby.
About £200m was invested in the scheme - which was marketed as suitable for experienced investors only, with a minimum investment of £50,000.
As much as £180m is believed to have been invested via Sipps, with provider Rowanmoor also having some clients with money in the scheme.
Ms Purves said: "The first four months of 2018 was a challenging period for IFG Group, with assessments from HMRC in relation to Elysian Fuels and the cancelled Saunderson House sales process.
"Since April we have made good progress on identifying and implementing our near-term priorities; building two self-reliant businesses within an efficient group structure and resolving our legacy issues.
"I am pleased to report that James Hay and Saunderson House have delivered robust results in the first half of the year."
She added: "Discussions are ongoing with HMRC in relation to Elysian Fuels to gain further information on our position. However, to date HMRC has been unable to provide a detailed response or further clarity. We continue to seek legal advice in order to reach an acceptable resolution with HMRC."
In its results for the first half of 2018, IFG Group saw its assets under administration and advice go up by 8 per cent to £31.3bn.
James Hay added 2,469 new self-invested personal pension (Sipp) clients during the first half of 2018, down 20 per cent on the same period last year which was driven largely by the slow-down in the defined benefit transfer market.
IFG Group swung into the black during the six month period, posting an operating profit of £1.4m, up from a loss of £100,000 in the same period in 2017.

Have you ever been inspired by brick walls or flooring in an urban loft in New York, a funky bar, or a grand atrium? During a home remodeling television show, do you wait anxiously for the reveal of a hidden brick wall? You're not alone! Bricks add instant warmth, create a nostalgic texture, and bring a refined rustic charm to any room. Yet, many homeowners are hesitant to install bricks inside the home – particularly in the kitchen – due to installation challenges, weight and maintenance. But there's no need to fear! Brick-look tile is the perfect solution offering the authentic look and style of real bricks in effortless and durable porcelain.
Backsplashes, floors, accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and virtually every other area of your home come alive with one of today's hottest trends: brick-look tiles. These new tiles add the charm of brick with a contemporary flair and were designed to mix and match with other tile looks in the collection – terracotta-inspired and wood grain tiles. Use together or separately to create incredible backsplashes, countertops, flooring, and shower surrounds. Perfect for whole house installations, this tile is especially designed to coordinate between the Cotto, Wood Planks, and Bricks, transitioning seamlessly from one room to the next – a dream solution for homeowners craving the look of a professionally designed home.
Mudrooms and laundry rooms don't have to be dreary or dull. Great for busy families, and especially families with pets, mudrooms should be outfitted with surfaces that are durable, easy to clean, and virtually maintenance-free. Celebrate the use and utility of this space by updating it for function and beauty. Move your laundry out of the dark dingy basement and into a space with abundant natural light and that's more accessible to the busy center of your home. When designing with a modern aesthetic in mind, adding in classic elements — like a brick floor — makes the home more interesting and appealing. Above all, mudrooms and laundry rooms must be functional, easy-to-clean, and require little maintenance. Install in creative patterns like chevron and herringbone to turn an ordinary space into an extraordinary one.
While traditional bricks are beautiful, they do require significant maintenance and special cleaning. These new style tile bricks bring you the classic rustic nature of Old World bricks with the easy cleaning and care of porcelain tile. These brick tiles can be used practically anywhere, including high-moisture areas like bathrooms and mud rooms— they make great backsplashes in even the busiest of kitchens. A simple wipe down or damp mopping is all that's needed to remain handsome for decades to come.

The focus is on business ownership - whether that's someone starting out and needing to raise capital, to helping a business to grow by securing funding, through to positioning a business for sale.
Helping entrepreneurs benefit from the fruits of their labours. Supporting a hard-working team to buy the business to which they're dedicated. Advising an owner on how to find funding to help their organisation flourish and grow… with such a positive role to play in the success of North East businesses it's little wonder Angus Allan is so enthusiastic about his job.
"I am passionate about what I do. I love helping clients to achieve their goals, whilst supporting business success in the North East," he says.
Angus is celebrating more than 15 years as corporate finance partner at Clive Owen, having led the full-time introduction of the service to the firm in 2002. A fully qualified accountant he trained and worked at KPMG for 14 years. He saw an opportunity to build his own team and has since completed numerous transactions, many of which have been new clients to the firm, attracted by his expertise and client-centric approach.
Unsurprisingly, he has also won some awards along the way including, most recently, North East Deal of the Year and Corporate Finance Advisor of the Year in the Insider Deal Maker Awards.
When dealing with disposals, his responsibility is to give clear, pragmatic, commercial advice to deliver the best deal for the client, often advising owners on what they need to do to maximise their sale price. Managing expectations and driving the process adeptly is also a large part of the role.
Notable examples of this are the French conglomerate Suez Group, which snapped up Derwentside Environmental Testing Services, Vinci Industries' acquisition of QSI Group and the sale of The Window Bureau to Cairngorm Capital.
As a proud Geordie, Allan is sensitive to local businesses being acquired by foreign buyers, which is why he is also keen to help the region's aspiring entrepreneurs undertake management buyouts, drawing on his wide experience of the venture capital and banking sectors.
Acquiring another business can seem attractive but to mitigate risk, Allan and his team will assess a target's strengths and weaknesses before making an approach to ensure suitability and fit.
Having helped the three directors of Inshore Fisheries at Hartlepool buy the business in 2012, he has just assisted in securing them funding from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund-FW Capital Debt Finance, managed by FW Capital, which will help the company to capitalise on growth opportunities.
"Basically, we put our clients at the heart of everything we do. We take time to understand their needs, temper their expectations using our external perspective and experience and then expedite the process of achieving their goals. We leverage our breadth of knowledge and expertise to drive the best outcome for the client. It's a challenging role but thoroughly rewarding in the end,'' he says.

Adagio from the Moonlight Sonata
The Moonlight Sonata
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor ''Quasi una fantasia'', popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata, was completed in 1801 (at the age of 31) and dedicated to his pupil, Countess Giuciella Guicciardi, whom he later confessed to have been in love with. (It is hard to conceive how she would have felt having something this beautiful dedicated to her.) Already struggling with deafness, Beethoven was yet to write his greatest works, which as you are no doubt aware, are among the most famous ever composed.
The Sonata is a beloved piece because of its haunting Adagio, with which it begins. This is directed to be played with sustained slowness and very quietly, becoming at the loudest mf or ''moderately loud''.
The transcription:
For guitar I have dropped the key to Am (which I notice other transcribers for guitar have also done: music is restrictive enough for that sort of coincidence to be expected) since this allows a liberal use of the open A and E strings (in the bass), particularly for the E which grounds the tense diminished scale passage before the recapitulation. It also (serendipitously) keeps most of the more difficult passages at the bottom end (the low fret range) which guitarists become familiar with first.
The piece has a signature rhythmic device which is first encountered at the end of bar five. Hard on the heels of the last note of the final triplet a sixteenth note sounds before a half note of the same pitch in the next bar. There is no dynamic change. How best to play it? I think, like everything involved in playing guitar, once you have basic techniques in place the best thing to do is what feels most natural and gives the sound most faithful to the score. In this case I play the last triplet note with the (right) thumb and the sixteenth note with the middle finger (medio), followed by the half note with the middle finger also (all of which I've marked), but another way may be preferred.

Abstract. Approximately 3 billion people worldwide cook with solid fuels, such as wood, charcoal, and agricultural residues. These fuels are often combusted in inefficient cookstoves, producing carbonaceous emissions. Between 2.6 and 3.8 million premature deaths occur as a result to exposure to fine particulate matter from the resulting household air pollution (Health Effects Institute, 2018a; World Health Organization, 2018). Household air pollution also contributes to ambient air pollution; the magnitude of this contribution is uncertain. Here, we simulate the distribution of the two major health-damaging outdoor air pollution species (PM2.5 and O3) using state-of-the-science emissions databases and atmospheric chemical transport models to estimate the impact of household combustion on ambient air quality in India. The present study focuses on New Delhi and the SOMAARTH Demographic, Development, and Environmental Surveillance Site (DDESS) in the Palwal District of Haryana, located about 80 km south of New Delhi. The DDESS covers an approximate population of 200 000 within 52 villages. The emissions inventory used in the present study was prepared based on a national inventory in India (Sharma et al., 2015, 2016), an updated residential sector inventory prepared at the University of Illinois, updated cookstove emissions factors from Fleming et al. (2018b), and PM2.5 speciation from cooking fires from Jayarathne et al. (2018). Simulation of regional air quality was carried out using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system (CMAQ), in conjunction with the Weather Research and Forecasting modeling system (WRF) to simulate the meteorological inputs for CMAQ, and the global chemical transport model GEOS-Chem to generate concentrations on the boundary of the computational domain. Comparisons between observed and simulated O3 and PM2.5 levels are carried out to assess overall airborne levels and to estimate the contribution of household cooking emissions. Observed and predicted ozone levels over New Delhi during September 2015, December 2015, and September 2016 routinely exceeded 150 μg m−3, as compared with the 8-hour Indian standard of 100 μg m−3, and, on occasion, exceeded 200 μg m−3. PM2.5 levels are predicted over the SOMAARTH headquarters (September 2015 and September 2016), Bajada Pahari (a village in the surveillance site, September 2015, December 2015, and September 2016), and New Delhi (September 2015, December 2015, and September 2016). Predicted levels vary depending on the time of year but, on the whole, tend to be somewhat less than those observed. The predicted fractional impact of residential emissions on PM2.5 levels varies from about 0.30 in SOMAARTH HQ and Bajada Pahari to about 0.10 in New Delhi. Predicted levels of secondary organic PM2.5 during the periods studied at the three locations averaged about 5 μg m−3, representing approximately 10 % of total PM2.5 levels, accentuating the dominant role played by primary carbonaceous emissions in all three locations.

Sor is an 81-year-old grandmother from Cambodia. She has three children, ten grandchildren, and enjoys visiting the pagoda and listening to the monks pray on the radio in her spare time. One year ago, Sor developed a cataract in each eye, causing her vision loss. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Sor learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 11th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure. "I hope that I will be able to see more clearly so I can go outside again and recognize things and return to the pagoda," Sor shared.
Tumuhise is a trader from Uganda. He is single and his mother is a small-scale farmer while his father is a wood cutter. He was born in a family of four siblings whereby he is the oldest and the rest are still in school. He dropped out of school due to lack of school fees and is now selling items to earn a living. He operates a small-scale retail shop. Since eight years ago, Tumuhise has had a hydrocele, which is a swelling in his sensitive area. This hydrocele causes him discomfort and he cannot lift and carry heavy load, which is part of his job. Fortunately, on January 14th, he will undergo hydrocele repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $139 to fund Tumuhise's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Tumuhise says, "I will be humbled seeing my condition improved after surgery."

Cars can be easily rented from Boston Logan International Airport. The drive from Boston is very scenic, and can take from 1.5-4 hours depending on traffic. Please be prepared for delays getting on and off Cape during holidays, rush hour, and inclement weather.
Fast ferry service from Boston, which takes about 1.5 hours, is available through two operators, Boston Harbor Cruises and Bay State Cruises. This is by far the easiest and most enjoyable way to get to P-town, and the ferries will drop you off right in the center of town. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the ferry on the day of departure. The operators use different wharfs in Boston, so make sure you travel to the correct one and double check your departure time (schedules change to the low season in September).
Relax: There is an ILS (horray!).
Preferred IFR routes into Cape Cod can be tricky and somewhat roundabout, especially for IFR traffic. Please check the current AFD for more information so there are no surprises.
If you are coming in VFR from the north, Boston Approach is very good about giving VFR advisories through the Class B airspace. Be prepared to stay outside (to the west) of Mass. Route 128, or well east of the Boston Logan complex.
Boston Approach (formerly Cape Approach) can get saturated very quickly during times of peak volume and inclement weather including LIFR. If you're planning a "pop-up" IFR clearance, please make sure you have a flight plan on file to expedite service.
Many cell phones do not work at PVC (on the ramp or near the terminal), so plan well ahead if you need to call flight service or transportation. There is a public phone in a call box just outside the terminal, but it is sometimes unreliable. If you need to phone a local or toll-free number, including, taxis, representatives at the Cape Air counter inside the terminal are usually helpful.
If you have airport-specific requests or needs, Airport Manager Arthur "Butch" Lisenby may be reached directly at 508.487.0241 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.).
Cape Air/Nantucket Airlines offers their famed Cessna 402 service to P-town from Boston. The trip is quick and scenic, though you'll need to use a taxi in P-town once you land. If you're planning to jumpseat, ID-90, or ZED on Cape Air/Nantucket Airlines, please note that many (and we do mean many!) NGPA members plan to do the same. Please, take this into consideration.
When you get to P-town, biking is the best way to get around. NGPA recommends Gale Force Bikes (call 508.487.4849 to book) and the P-Town Bike Shack (call 508.487.0232 to book).

Successful Duo Brings New Danish Series Chosen to Netflix
WEBWIRE – Thursday, November 26, 2020
Netflix is ramping up the Danish production slate and announces a new Danish Netflix Original series Chosen. The six part series is created by Christian Potalivo and Jannik Tai Mosholt - the acclaimed duo behind one of the most watched non-English-language series at Netflix, The Rain.
Chosen is a coming-of-age sci-fi story about a young girl whose reality is suddenly turned upside down when everything she thought she knew turns out to be wrong, and she realises that the world is not as safe and blissful as she thought. Chosen is a thrilling and absurd story about teenage life with social pressure, secrets, lies, identity – all set in a Danish setting on the outskirts of Denmark.
Emma has always felt different from anyone else in Middelbo – a small Danish town that became world famous when it was said that a meteor entered the atmosphere and crashed into it 17 years earlier. Now, Middelbo is no longer what it has been, and the question is whether it has ever been what it pretends to be at all? When Emma accidentally discovers that the whole story of the meteor is a lie, a dangerous and improbable truth about the sleepy town reveals itself – something that is far more perilous and incredible than she could have ever imagined. Was it a meteor that hit the little town 17 years ago or was it something far more powerful? With this newly discovered realization Emma is forced to realize that she is on her own and that friends and society will not save her in a time of life where she needs them the most.
Executive Producers and Creators Christian Potalivo and Jannik Tai Mosholt:
"We have always been fascinated by people's fear of the unknown and the strange. It is a powerful driving force in our humanity, and often we as humans are more concerned about what separates us than what actually binds us together, which served as inspiration for this show. We have a strong passion to shed light on what it is that creates young adults' identities – the struggle with love and hope, the eternal doubt and search for who you are and what is needed to fit in and feel that you belong."
The duo further explains:
"The Rain was a fantastic opportunity to tell stories in a genre we rarely experience in Scandinavia, and our collaboration with Netflix has been a pleasure that has only grown bigger and stronger over the years. Therefore, it was natural that Netflix was the right partner for Chosen, and the perfect place to develop and tell a story that is universal, has the sci-fi genre as a driving force, but also draws on our own lives and Danish themes."
Tesha Crawford, Director Nordics Original Series at Netflix:
"We could not be happier to once again team up with Christian and Jannik who have proven to not only be very talented creators but also amazing partners to collaborate with. This story is pushing the boundaries of what one can expect of the sci-fi genre and at the same time will have the similar strong character driven storytelling as The Rain - which captivated audiences in Denmark and beyond."
Chosen is created by internationally recognized and acclaimed filmmakers Jannik Tai Mosholt and Christian Potalivo from the Danish production company Tall & Small. The duo is also behind the already announced Netflix Original series Elves and the Netflix success The Rain, which became one of the most watched non-English Netflix series to date. Production of Chosen is expected to commence this year in Denmark.

These days, many of your business contacts are long-distance. Even if they are actually not that far away, a great deal of your communication is effectively long-distance because much of it is mediated through the Internet. Goodness, we have all probably seen people email the person sitting next to them, rather than actually talk…!
The problem with long-distance relationships of any kind is that they are easier to break up than when you are really physically close to someone.
Interesting new research, admittedly looking at romantic relationships, gives us a clue as to how we need to behave online if we want to maintain those long-distance connections with business colleagues, customers, associates and so on.
The study found that relationships were much more likely to be maintained when the partners were humble. This was especially the case in long-distance relationships.
What the research means is that online we need to be less arrogant, less full of ourselves and less wanting to be right all the time. You see a great deal of that kind of behaviour on social networks and what it seems to do is drive people away, rather than attract them.
Being humble also means accepting that you might be wrong, that the other person may be superior to you or know more than you and that they might be better than you.
In short, it is about treating other people in the way we would like to be treated. It comes back to the same old argument – see things much more from the other person's perspective and your relationship will be maintained.

Meet a Creationist Who's Also a Nuclear Physicist
Series:God's Design, Transcript English
"But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:"
Evolutionists never seem to tire of taunting creationists with such words as: "If creationists were real scientists, their papers would be published in secular scientific journals."
But Dr. Brandon van der Ventel, professor of physics at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, doesn't allow such statements to go unchallenged. "Creation scientists," he said, "have published many articles in secular journals." He adds, however, that papers from many creation scientists "are ignored and rejected" not because they are faulty, but because they reject "the evolutionary (or billions-of-years) paradigm."
Though this professor once believed that "somehow God must have used evolution", he now rejects that. "If the story of the fall of Man is 'mythology'," he says, "then there is no need for a plan of salvation. This is ultimately an attack on the personage of our Lord Jesus Christ and His redeeming work on the cross."
Though most of his fellow academics reject a worldwide flood, he says that "Jesus explicitly refers to Noah's flood…. This raises the question: If the Lord's statement about Noah's Flood is false, then why should we believe His statement concerning eternal life?"
Dr. van der Ventel turned away from evolution when he realized that the Bible is authoritative even on scientific matters. Doubting Genesis, he said, often leads to "a slippery slide to unbelief, where we can end up questioning the inerrancy and infallibility of the entire Bible."
Heavenly Father, I pray that many other scientists in academia will turn to You in faith and that they will inspire others to turn away from evolution. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Some times it is necessary to terminate a PostgreSQL query and connection. This can be very helpful when you have a run away command or script. It can also be helpful if your application has submitted a query to the backend that has caused everything to grind to a halt. Fortunately, postgres comes to the rescue and provides a few helpful commands that will allow you to cancel the query from the database and optionally terminate the user or application's connection.
As usual please be careful and test any commands before running them in production. Some applications do not like having there query or session closed.
All of the following examples will require you to be connected to your database. This can either be an interactive connection or by passing the SQL code via psql -c '<code>'.
pg_stat_activity lists the current sessions and outputs information about the connected sessions.
You can add some WHERE clauses to your query if you would like to help filter down the information.
The above queries will output a table which will contain information about the session. Some of the information will include the username, which db they are connected to, if the session is idle, or what the sql query is. It will also return the procpid which can be used to terminate the query. The procpid is essentially the Linux or Unix process id (pid) the subprocess was assigned by the kernel.
pg_cancel_backend will cancel only the backend process leaving the user's session open.
If purely canceling the process does not work and you would like to be more forceful you can cancel the backend process with pg_terminate_backend. This will terminate the user's query and close their session to the database.
The PostgreSQL administration documentation is a great source to learn about these commands and more.

Prepare the Anonymous Blocking configuration file. Anonymous Blocking uses a configuration file in JSON format to define blocking rules for Delivery Services. The file needs to be put on an HTTP server accessible to Traffic Router.
Contains the types of IPs which can be checked against the Anonymous IP Database. There are 4 types of IPs which can be checked: VPNs, Hosting Providers, Public Proxies, and TOR "Exit Nodes". Each type of IP can be enabled or disabled. If the value is true, IPs matching this type will be blocked when the feature is enabled in the Delivery Service. If the value is false, IPs which match this type will not be blocked. If an IP matches more than 1 type and any type is enabled, the IP will be blocked.
The URL that will be returned to the blocked clients. Without a redirectUrl, the clients will receive an HTTP response code 403 Forbidden. With a redirectUrl, the clients will be redirected with an HTTP response code 302 Found.
An optional element. It includes a list of CIDR blocks indicating the IPv4 and IPv6 subnets that are allowed by the rule. If this list exists and the value is not null, client IPs will be matched against the CIDR list, and if there is any match, the request will be allowed. If there is no match in the white list, further anonymous blocking logic will continue.
The HTTP URL of the Anonymous Blocking configuration file. Traffic Router will fetch the file from this URL.
The HTTP URL of the Anonymous IP Database. Traffic Router will fetch the file from this URL.
The interval that Traffic Router polls the Anonymous Blocking configuration file and Anonymous IP Database.
Go to Tools ‣ Snapshot CRConfig, perform Diff CRConfig and click Write CRConfig.
Anonymous Blocking extends the field of rtype and adds a new field ANON_BLOCK in the Traffic Router access.log file to help monitor this feature. If the rtype in an access log is ANON_BLOCK then the client's IP was found in the Anonymous IP Database and was blocked.

Ethoxid titaničitý je organická sloučenina se vzorcem Ti4(OCH2CH3)16. Jedná se o bezbarvou kapalinu, která se dobře rozpouští v organických rozpouštědlech, ale ve vodě se rozkládá. Společně s ostatními titaničitými zirkoničitými alkoxidy se používá v organické syntéze; tyto látky mají strukturu složitější, než jaká by vyplývala z jejich empirických vzorců.

Příprava
Ethoxid titaničitý se připravuje reakcí chloridu titaničitého s ethanolem za přítomnosti aminu:

TiCl4 + 4 C2H5OH + 4 (C2H5)3N → Ti(OC2H5)4 + 4 (C2H5)3NHCl

Struktura
Ti(OC2H5)4 se vyskytuje převážně jako tetramer, kolem kovových center jsou atomy uspořádány do tvaru osmistěnu. Existují dva druhy titanových center, které se rozlišují podle toho, jestli je atom navázán na koncový nebo vnitřní alkoxidový ligand. Struktura Zr(OC2H5)4 je podobná. Tetramer má strukturní symetrii C2h.

Podobné sloučeniny

Methoxid titaničitý
Methoxid titaničitý (Ti(OCH3)4) se stejně jako ethoxid vyskytuje jako tetramer tvořící osmistěnné struktury.

Isopropoxid titaničitý
Díky objemným isopropylovým skupinám, které zabraňují propojování kovových center, zaujímá isopropoxid titaničitý monomerní strukturu s čtyřstěnnou strukturou okolo kovového centra.

Ethoxid zirkoničitý
Ehoxid zirkoničitý lze připravit podobně jako ethoxid titaničitý,

ZrCl4 + 5 NaOC2H5 + C2H5OH → NaH[Zr(OEt)6] + 4 NaCl
NaH[Zr(OC2H5)6] + HCl → Zr(C2H5)4 + NaCl + 2 C2H5OH

častěji se však získává reakcí chloridu zirkoničitého s ethanolem a amoniakem:

ZrCl4 + 4 C2H5OH + 4 NH3 → Zr(OR)4 + 4 NH4Cl

Jako výchozí látku lze také použít zirkonocendichlorid:

Cp2ZrCl2 + 4 EtOH + 2 Et3N → 2 CpH + 2 Et3NHCl + Zr(OEt)4

Propoxid zirkoničitý
Propoxid zirkoničitý má strukturu podobnou jako ethoxid titaničitý.

Reakce
Titaničité i zirkoničité alkoholáty lze použít k tvorbě tenkých vrstev příslušných oxidů (TiO2 či ZrO2):

M(OC2H5)4 + 2 H2O → MO2 + 4 C2H5OH

Tyto vrstvy se vytváří hydrolýzou alkoxidu. TiO2 a ZrO2 při této reakci vznikají v polymerní formě, díky čemuž se využívají jako součásti nátěru odolných proti vodě, poškrábání nebo teplu. Na strukturu těchto vrstev má vliv, zda se k hydrolýze použije kyselý nebo zásaditý katalyzátor. Kyselá katalýza vede ke vzniku produktů s náhodně uspořádanými lineárními řetězci, zatímco při zásadité katalýze se tvoří síťovité strktury, které mohou zachycovat rozpouštědlo a vedlejší produkty, čímž se vytváří gelovité vrstvy.

Alkoholáty titanu a zirkonia mohou být rovněž využity na přípravu Zieglerových–Nattových katalyzátorů, které se používají při polymerizaci alkenů.
