The idea behind a connected copy is to indicate that the item in each language is going to represent the same thing. For example, if you have a News Article in English and you were going to translate it to French, you should probably create it as a Connected Copy. This tells the content manager that both items represent the same thing (a single news article), but in different languages.
You'll notice two things about connected copies. First, if you're editing a content item and change the language using the dropdown at the top of the dialog, the connected item in the other language will be opened immediately, since that's the other-language equivalent of the item you already had open. Secondly, from a more technical standpoint, the item in both languages will have the same ContentID. So, if you have a ContentID (for example, from a query string) you'll know how to get that content in all languages in Agility.
Editing an item which has connected copies does not affect the content of the copies. Updating one won't update the others unless you explicitly make changes to the other items in the content manager as well. The exception to this is fields which have been designated as "Constant across all languages" in the content definition (default to false). This is useful for fields like Product Codes on Products which should be the same no matter what language the website is in.

AWPR opening update
AWPR is now expected to open in Autumn 2018
By Annie Smith --
Economy Secretary Keith Brown has provided an update on the opening of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR).
The project had previously been expected to open during Spring 2018. Following an announcement by one of the consortium's partners during the posting of their annual results, that they expected the completion date to be Summer 2018, Transport Scotland conducted urgent discussions with ARL to determine whether both partners shared this view.
The outcome from the discussions with ARL is that we now expect to be able to open the project in Autumn 2018. The contractor has reported there have been a number of issues that have contributed to this decision, with the impact of Storm Frank during winter 2015/16, recent extreme weather during early March and the collapse of Carillion all having an impact on the opening date.
The project, equivalent in length to building a new road between Edinburgh and Glasgow, is a key part of the Scottish Government's £1 billion investment in transport in the region, which includes the AWPR, Aberdeen to Inverness rail improvements and the Haudagain roundabout improvement work. the A96 dualling programme, a new junction at Laurencekirk on the A90, removing the bottleneck at Inveramsay Bridge. The largest part of this investment is the £745 million AWPR project which is a significant undertaking for both the Scottish Government and the contractor.
Economy Secretary Keith Brown said:
"While this revision to the opening date is very disappointing to the people of the North East, we have to accept the expert advice of our contractors on the ground who are delivering this significant project.
"Clearly there has been a huge amount of work that has gone in to getting the project to where we are now. I would like to pay tribute to the effort of the people who are working hard to get this project over the finishing line.
"I understand how highly anticipated this project is for those living and working in the region and the patience local communities have shown during the construction process, I would like to thank them for their continued patience as we enter the final stages of the project. Transport Scotland will continue to work closely with ARL to open sections of the road at the earliest opportunity.
"The total scheme cost estimate is £745 million and this remains unchanged as part of this announcement. Under the terms of the contract, ARL does not receive payment for the work until a section of road is open to traffic.
"During construction over 1,000 jobs have been created as a result of this project and it will generate over £6 billion for the local economy with an anticipated 14,000 new jobs to follow over the first 30 years after the scheme opens.
"Once open, the AWPR will cut congestion in and around Aberdeen city, with a positive impact on reducing emissions and improving active travel, it will also improve connectivity in the region, providing better journey time reliability, particularly for those travelling from the north of the city to the south side."

The potential for smuggling special nuclear material (SNM) into the United States is a major concern to homeland security, so federal agencies are investigating a variety of preventive measures, including detection and interdiction of SNM during transport. One approach for SNM detection, called active interrogation, uses a radiation source, such as a beam of neutrons or photons, to scan cargo containers and detect the products of induced fissions. In realistic cargo transport scenarios, the process of inducing and detecting fissions in SNM is difficult due to the presence of various and potentially thick materials between the radiation source and the SNM, and the practical limitations on radiation source strength and detection capabilities. Therefore, computer simulations are being used, along with experimental measurements, in efforts to design effective active interrogation detection systems. The computer simulations mostly consist of simulating radiation transport from the source to the detector region(s). Although the Monte Carlo method is predominantly used for these simulations, difficulties persist related to calculating statistically meaningful detector responses in practical computing times, thereby limiting their usefulness for design and evaluation of practical active interrogation systems. In previous work, the benefits of hybrid methods that use the results of approximate deterministic transport calculations to accelerate high-fidelity Monte Carlo simulations have been demonstrated for source-detector type problems. In this work, the hybrid methods are applied and evaluated for three example active interrogation problems. Additionally, a new approach is presented that uses multiple goal-based importance functions depending on a particle's relevance to the ultimate goal of the simulation. Results from the examples demonstrate that the application of hybrid methods to active interrogation problems dramatically increases their calculational efficiency.


Is the Department of Justice Trying to Save You Money?
Home » The Buzz » Credit » Is the Department of Justice Trying to Save You Money?
Here's the real skinny… Most shoppers know that stores pay fees to Visa and MasterCard every time you pay for something using a credit or debit card. These interchange fees usually are between 1 to 3 percent of your total bill each time you use the card. The justice department has sued American Express over allegations of anti-competitive policies, after reaching a settlement offer about the same issues with Visa and MasterCard. The card industry as a whole collects $35 billion a year from these fees, which are passed on to you in the form of higher prices. Of all three companies, American Express charges the highest fees.
One of the biggest problems seem to be that the credit card companies mentioned above prohibit merchants from encouraging shoppers to use lower-cost payment methods when making purchases – aka cash and debit cards.
The retailers are not allowed to offer discounts or other incentives to encourage you to pay in ways that cost the merchant less to process. The settlement with Visa and MasterCard, which still requires court approval, will allow merchants to offer you discounts or rebates for using less expensive forms of payment, including credit cards without reward programs, debit cards and cash. Merchants may also disclose the cost they incur by accepting one card over another, and can promote a particular credit-card network.
Let you know what form of payment they prefer.
Offer a discount or rebate when checking out if you use a particular credit card or other form of payment – meaning you get to buy the item for less!
Promote a particular credit card or other form of payment through posted information or other communications.
The settlement allows retailers who only accept Visa and MasterCard to take advantage of the above actions immediately, but if the merchant also offers American Express they cannot offer the rebates, cash discounts, or other benefits of the settlement.
American Express is only used by a fraction of Americans as compared to Visa and MasterCard; they are crying foul because retailers may dissuade customers from using their card.
Are you a die-hard Amex fan and have concerns that the terms of the settlement will hurt you because you won't get the discounts and special offers? Do you think retailers should be allowed to offer discounts for using a certain credit card, debit card or CASH (which is what I recommend using!)?
Let me know your take on this situation.

Bluebird Fairies grew out of a set of hand drawn fairies created when I was changing my life.
In 2014 when I first showed the Fairy Cards at the 2014 Art Hop in Burlington I realized when gathered together the 63 cards form a deck that works as an oracle. The cards don't tell the future but the conversations that takes place with them assist people connecting with their present.
Next a Fairy Booth was created so Fairy Card Readings could take place in style. People started purchasing Fairy Decks for themselves and loved ones. Each day I get reports of how people are incorporating these cards into their daily lives.
Bluebird Fairy Decks and more are in our shop.
Last summer Bluebird Fairies moved into a new studio space. The space is perfect for small classes which has allowed me to develop our Fairy and Demon Drawing Workshops. It's also a place people can have custom designed, artistic parties that include fairies.
Bluebird Fairies' upcoming work is to create a 'Fairy of the Day' app. Please check it out and learn more about this still-in-production project. Many more plans are in the works so keep in touch.
A fun and great way to do this is by reading my blog. I post an inspirational writing about one of my 'Earnest Little Drawings that Help you Do Big Things' 3 times a month. Please check it out and sign up to receive notices of when I post.
Last but not least, please check out Rachel Elizabeth Jones' fantastic Seven Days article about our work.
We hope to see you out in the world at a fun venue soon.
Bluebird Fairies are "Earnest little drawings that help people do BIG THINGS".
I'm writing from Mexico City . We're visiting our son. He and his love have a pack of your fairy cards. Every morning they draw and set one up. The day we arrived they had just hung up replacement hummingbird feeder to enhance their bird friends. And the next card they drew was the fairy of bird relationships. They love the practice.
"Taking a fairy card has become somewhat of a ritual in our morning meetings. As teachers in a busy school, with the stress and unpredictability that comes with the territory, this ritual has helped us to center ourselves, find an intention for the day, and have a moment to reflect before diving in to our work. Sharing the cards with each other has also been an awesome moment of connection, bonding, and often times humor. Their range of styles and their playful nature has made it easy for anyone to feel comfortable jumping in, and we have all begun to look forward to seeing which card will guide our day. We love bluebird fairies!"

James M Gale, 1887. Single-span, segmental-arched aqueduct bridge with deep parapet wall containing conduit and large pyramidal-capped end piers. Mass concrete faced with snecked, coursed Ben Cruachan granite. String course, coped parapet. Tubular cast-iron railings to parapet with ornamental flower motifs to heads of uprights. Early 20th century concrete cover.
VENTILATION SHAFTS AND ACCESS CHAMBERS: circular snecked, bull-faced granite enclosures at each end of aqueduct with access gate and domed wrought-iron 'birdcage' top; projecting cope. Stone steps, retaining wall and railings to associated subterranean chambers. Security covers added 2007.
Also known as the Falls Brig new Aqueduct; spans boundary with Buchanan Parish.
One of 5 masonry aqueduct bridges built as part of the second phase of the Glasgow Corporation Water Works system (see below for history and significance of the scheme as a whole) from 1885 onwards. This and another identical bridge at Meadhonach (a short distance to the S) are listed as the best representative examples of this group. All the 1885 aqueduct bridges are very similar and these two were selected as the only examples with associated access chambers at both ends.
Unlike the conduit on the course of the first phase of the scheme (built 1855 onwards), the second phase has a greater length of tunnel, this being possible because the invention of gelignite and pneumatic drills in the intervening period, made tunnel construction much less labour-intensive. For this reason the number of aqueduct bridges on the 1885 conduit is significantly less than on the 1855 conduit.
The Glasgow Corporation Water Works system, which brings water down to Glasgow from Loch Katrine, was admired internationally as an engineering marvel when it was opened in 1860. It was one of the most ambitious civil engineering schemes to have been undertaken in Europe since Antiquity, employing the most advanced surveying and construction techniques available, including the use of machine moulding and vertical casting technologies to produce the cast-iron pipes. The scheme represents the golden age of municipal activity in Scotland and not only provided Glasgow with fresh drinking water, thereby paving the way for a significant increase in hygiene and living standards, but also a source of hydraulic power that was indispensable to the growth of Glasgow's industry as a cheap and clean means of lifting and moving heavy plant in docks, shipyards and warehouses. The civic pride in this achievement is visible in every structure connected with the scheme, from the neatly-detailed gates and railings along its route, to the massive masonry structures and iron troughs that carry the conduit and, in most cases, have withstood without failure or noticeable deterioration the daily pressure of many millions of gallons of water for well over 100 years.
Glasgow's Lord Provost, Robert Stewart (1810-66) was the driving force behind the implementation of a municipally-owned water scheme to provide clean water to Glasgow's rapidly increasing population. Loch Katrine was identified as a suitable supply and after some objections from various parties, an Act of Parliament authorising the scheme was passed in 1855. The scheme was built in two main phases following this Act and another 1885. The 1855 scheme, which was opened by Queen Victoria in 1859 and was fully operational by 1860, had been designed to allow for significant expansion as demand increased, and this work was carried in the 20 years following the opening. The 1885 Act allowed a second aqueduct to be built, which followed a slightly shorter course than the earlier scheme. The capacity of the second aqueduct was also expanded during the first half of the 20th century.
John Frederick Bateman (1810-1889) was chosen as the engineer for the scheme and construction work commenced in 1856. Bateman was to become one of the world's most eminent water engineers, and worked on a number of other water supply schemes in Britain, Europe and Asia. He was assisted by James Morrison Gale (1830-1905), who on the completion of the initial scheme in 1859 was appointed Water Engineer for the City of Glasgow, a post he held till 1902. Gale was responsible for over-seeing the incremental expansion of the first scheme during the 1860s and '70s and the building of the second aqueduct from 1885 onwards.

Jack Draper's thrilling encounter with Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open
Draper's physical struggles in the match against Rafael Nadal
Draper's performance and potential as a rising star on the ATP TourDraper, who is currently ranked 38th in the world, took the court against Nadal, a 22-time major champion and the top seed in the absence of injured world number one Carlos Alcaraz, with a sense of excitement and determination. He held his own against the veteran player for the bulk of the match, leveling the score at one-set each before Nadal ultimately secured a 7-5 2-6 6-4 6-1 win.
Nadal's enduring dominance and impact on the match
The role of pre-season preparation in Draper's performance
Draper's reaction and perspective on the match
Nadal's acknowledgement of Draper's potential
In conclusion: The impact of the match on both player's career
The Australian Open first round match between British rising star Jack Draper and Spain's Rafael Nadal was a thrilling encounter that showcased the potential of the young Brit and the enduring dominance of the veteran Spaniard.
Despite putting up a strong fight, Draper ultimately lost the match in four sets due to cramping issues that have plagued him in his burgeoning career.
Despite the loss, Draper's performance was encouraging for his future on the ATP Tour.
He caused problems for Rafael Nadal throughout the match with his ball-striking, and at times it looked as though he could cause a stunning upset against one of his "heroes."
However, his physical struggles returned, as they have done in previous matches. Draper collapsed at the Miami Open in 2021 with a heat-related illness and was also forced to retire from his US Open third-round match last year when he was in a decent position against Russian 28th seed Karen Khachanov.
Draper attributed his cramping to being "undercooked" after a disrupted pre-season. He had hoped to use the pre-season to develop his body for the rigours of the ATP Tour, but a viral infection cost him five weeks of a planned seven-week training block. "I was pumped to have an amazing pre-season and it's where most of the players get the opportunity to progress their physicality," said Draper. "I was pretty wiped out before the tournaments in Australia and part of me feels I've got to be proud of my efforts."
Despite the physical struggles, Draper remained positive about the match and his future on the ATP Tour. "These are all valuable learning experiences for me and especially playing against someone like Rafa," he said. "I left it all out there. I tried my best, competed my hardest and proud of how I played. At times I felt I was in a good place to win the match."
Rafael Nadal also acknowledged Draper's potential, saying "he is young, he has power and has a great future ahead. We will see him play for many years ahead." This match serves as a reminder that while Draper still has work to do on improving his physicality, his performances against top players like Rafael Nadal are a testament to his potential as a rising star on the ATP Tour.
In conclusion, the first-round match between Jack Draper and Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open was an exciting encounter that showcased the potential of the young Brit and the enduring dominance of the veteran Spaniard. Despite the loss, Draper's performance was encouraging for his future on the ATP Tour and serves as a reminder that while he still has work to do on improving his physicality, his performances against top players like Rafael Nadal are a testament to his potential as a rising star on the ATP Tour.

Vietnamese, known as tiếng việt (㗂越), is the native language of the Kinh people and after the revolution that ended French colonization, it became the official language of the many ethnic minorities who call Vietnam home. As part of the Austo-Asiatic language family, Vietnamese is also spoken throughout the world in communities sprinkled across Asia as well as in the United States, England, and Australia. Vietnamese is an officially recognized minority language in the Czech Republic, where a large community of Vietnamese immigrants resides. Vietnamese has about 90 million speakers around the world who speak it as a first or second language.
There are many things about Vietnamese that makes it attractive to language learners. Not only does it use the same Latin alphabet as English with some additional diacritic marks to guide pronunciation, but Vietnamese grammar is simple and straightforward. As much as 30% of Vietnamese vocabulary, referred to as Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary, borrows from Chinese, and linguists estimate as much as 60% of formal texts are also based on Chinese words and characters. Vietnamese is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch used can change the meaning of the words. There are three distinct regional dialects of Vietnamese: Northern or Hanoi, which is considered standard Vietnamese, Central or Huế dialect, and Southern or Saigon dialect.
Rosetta Stone believes that the key to learning Vietnamese is to get confident speaking the language, not just memorizing words and phrases. That's why each Vietnamese lessons focuses on speaking the language out loud, with contextualized lessons that reflect the everyday situations in which you might speak Vietnamese. From the grocery store to taking a taxi, Rosetta Stone wants you to feel confident you can understand and be understood in Vietnamese.
Learning the Vietnamese Language for Beginners
One of the very first things you'll need to learn about Vietnamese is the importance of tones. This is part of what makes Vietnamese such a melodic, beautiful language but it can be a challenge for English speakers. There are six tones in Vietnamese, and each one can change the meaning of a word. For example, there is a story about a foreigner living in Vietnam who was taking a cab to his office. The address of his office was No. 38 To Hien Thanh Street, but instead of saying ba tám To Hien Thanh Street to the cab driver, he used the wrong tone and said "bà tắm." The cab driver looked at him strangely and explained to the foreigner he'd just said, "Grandmother is taking a shower on To Hien Thanh Street." It's presumed they both had a good chuckle over the mistake, but it's a story that proves how fundamental tones are to the Vietnamese language.
Another nuance of the Vietnamese language that is quite important is the demonstration of respect for tradition, specifically when it comes to elders. The Vietnamese language reflects this deference to cultural values in their usage of "I" and "you." The language has more than a dozen ways to address "I" and "you" that depends upon the formality of the setting, age, gender, mood, and relationship.
As you begin to learn Vietnamese, you'll start not only with tones but also by learning the sounds of the Vietnamese alphabet. Vietnamese is a vowel-rich language with 11 simple vowels and a variety of sounds made by combining two or three vowels within the same syllable. While you'll notice many similarities to the Latin alphabet, the letters f, j, w, and z are not part of the Vietnamese alphabet and are used only in foreign names and loanwords.
Rosetta Stone strives to create immersive environments where language learners can hear and speak Vietnamese using contextualized situations rich with cues that stimulate deeper connections and better recall. Our Vietnamese lessons use this Dynamic Immersion® method to get beyond memorization and scale towards speaking Vietnamese with confidence in real-world conversations.
Learn Vietnamese Pronunciation
You might assume that after learning a few sounds and getting the hang of Vietnamese tones, you'll be ready to start acquiring mountains of vocabulary words, but that shouldn't be the next step in your language learning journey. In addition to learning Vietnamese in context, a successful language-learning program should provide plenty of practice for pronunciation. After all, what good is knowing the words if you can't understand the language in conversations with native speakers?
As previously mentioned, Vietnamese tones and pitch are quite important, and the pronunciation and inflection of words determines meaning. The six tones (flat tone, down tone, up tone, dot tone, question tone, and squiggle tone) reflect variations in pitch, length, contour, and intensity in how you constrict your vocal cords. While Vietnamese is a tonal language, it is not stress-timed, and most diacritic marks that guide pronunciation are represented by symbols that closely match the sound. Language learners will find Vietnamese phonetic spelling refreshingly consistent, and most Vietnamese words follow the consonant-vowel-consonant structure.
One of the real struggles of online language learning is the lack of feedback, specifically when it comes to pronunciation. Rosetta Stone addresses that need in every lesson with a patented speech recognition engine called TruAccent® that compares your accent to that of native and non-native Vietnamese speakers and provides feedback in real time. You'll have plenty of opportunities to hone your pronunciation embedded into every exercise.
Learn Vietnamese Words
Experts agree language learning doesn't have any shortcuts. Your ability to succeed in learning Vietnamese, or any other language, will be a factor of how much time you devote to practicing daily and the quality of your language-learning program. However, there are some ways to complement your language lessons with tactics that will accelerate your confidence speaking Vietnamese.
Here are a few tips to help you avoid getting lost in translations.
1. Learn Vietnamese words in context
Because tone and cultural values are so important to the Vietnamese language, learning the words in context is vital. That's why Rosetta Stone teaches Vietnamese vocabulary in the context of the situations in which these words occur, using audio and visual cues to connect and stimulate deeper learning. Your Vietnamese lessons will scale gradually, taking the words you've already learned and layering them with the foundational concepts that will help you reach the next level of your language learning journey.
2. Don't get hung up on Vietnamese dialects
There are many dialects in the Vietnamese language, which means that one word can be pronounced differently by people from different regions of Vietnam. Fortunately, there is a standard dialect of Vietnamese, derived from the northern region, that uses Hanoi dialect. Rosetta Stone embeds TruAccent® into every Vietnamese lesson so you can work to adjust your pronunciation and feel confident no matter where you find yourself, you'll sound amazing.
3. Focus on the consistency of Vietnamese
As much as there are some aspects of Vietnamese, like tones, that can be tricky at first, Vietnamese is a >remarkably consistent language. Take advantage of things like subject-verb-object word order or unambiguous and phonetic spellings to quickly spot patterns and get a feel for the language. For instance, one of the other assets of Vietnamese grammar is that there are no genders or plurals, so nouns are simple and straightforward.
4. Use Vietnamese borrowed vocabulary to your advantage
As with any language, you should leverage the words you already know to help you progress more quickly through your language learning program. A good portion of Vietnamese vocabulary is borrowed from Chinese, so those who know Chinese will have a natural advantage in learning Vietnamese. Vietnam also adopted many French words as a result of colonization, and you'll even find some modern English words about technology or other trends incorporated into common usage.
Below are a few common Vietnamese words and phrases you should learn:
Hello	xin chào
Goodbye	tạm biệt
Thank you	cám ơn

5. Vietnamese tenses are straightforward
In many languages, it's the complicated verb tenses that will trip up beginning language learners. In Vietnamese, the simple verb tenses make it easy to conjugate. For the majority of verbs, you simply stick one of the following words describing when the action takes place in front of any root verb.
đã = in the past
mới = in the recent past, more recently than đã
đang = right now, at this very moment
sắp = soon, in the near future
sẽ = in the future
For example, here is how you might conjugate "I eat rice."
Tôi ăn cơm = I eat rice
Tôi đã ăn cơm = I ate rice
Tôi mới ăn cơm = I just ate rice, I recently ate ricev Tôi đang ăn cơm = I am eating rice (right now)
Tôi sắp ăn cơm = I am going to eat rice, I am about to eat rice
Tôi sẽ ăn cơm = I will eat rice.
Immerse Yourself In Vietnamese
While Vietnamese isn't one of the top ten most widely spoken languages in the world, it's influence has grown steadily within the last few decades. It's easier than ever to find ways to immerse yourself in the Vietnamese language and get a better grasp not only on speaking Vietnamese but also the culture and traditions that are so essential to understanding the Vietnamese people.
Watch Vietnamese videos and TV
YouTube is a treasure trove of Vietnamese videos, but you can also get access to a few national or streaming TV channels in Vietnamese. Vietnamese game shows are also quite popular even outside of Asia and VTV4go is one of the most prominent Vietnamese sources of news, TV, and movies.
Listen to Vietnamese music
Vietnamese music is an eclectic mix of pop, electronic dance, and more traditional music that you can find either on YouTube or via music streaming services like Spotify. Music competitions are a favorite in Vietnam, and they have their own version of "The Voice" that has become famous with both fans and critics.
Enjoy Vietnamese cuisine
When you think Vietnamese cuisine, you probably come up with the two most popular dishes—phở (fuh), a rice noodle soup, and bánh mì (bahn mee), a baguette sandwich packed with meat and pickled veggies. However, Vietnamese food is about much more than these two dishes. The cuisine of Vietnam focuses on engaging the senses through food, where fragrant herbs and sauces take center stage. Immerse yourself in Vietnamese cooking through shopping at the local Asian supermarket, watch cooking shows on YouTube, or tackle recipes in the original language
Why You Should Learn the Vietnamese Language
The Vietnamese people are very friendly and hospitable, and language learners report they make the effort to learn Vietnamese well worth it. Learning Vietnamese can make you feel a part of a tight-knit community that honors your effort to learn their language with patience and kindness.
Here are a few other reasons to learn Vietnamese, the native language of the Kinh people.
The Vietnamese language shares lots of similarities with Chinese
If you already speak Chinese, it will provide a natural advantage to learning Vietnamese because of the volume of borrowed words and grammatical similarities. Vietnamese vocabulary was originally written with Chinese characters until they were changed to the Latin alphabet in the early 20th century and you can see many leftovers of this practice in the modern language today.
Learning Vietnamese can be good for business
Vietnam's economy is strong, and investors predict good growth in the coming years, which will drive a surge of development in industries like the automotive and electronics sectors. Knowing how to speak Vietnamese will be an asset to those who plan to take advantage of this economic boom and do business in Vietnam.
Speaking Vietnamese makes travel easier
If your travel plans include Vietnam, especially if you'll visit any rural regions beyond the big cities like Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi, learning Vietnamese will be essential. Away from urban areas, the number of Vietnamese who can speak English as a second language plummets and your ability to communicate with locals will be vital.
You'll learn a lot about the Vietnamese people
Vietnam has a rich heritage and a fascinating history that speaking the language will help you to connect with and learn from. As a country that struggled with war several decades ago, the Vietnamese people have proudly held onto traditions and continued to invest in preserving their language as a way of honoring their ancestors and the past.

GEORGETOWN, Texas—St. David's Georgetown Hospital announced today the opening of a new helipad and the completion of its parking lot expansion, which includes 81 additional spaces.
A new helipad will save time in transporting critical patients to and from St. David's Georgetown Hospital. The additional parking spaces are necessary to meet the growth in volume of patients and employees.
"We have patients from all over the state transported via air ambulance to St. David's Georgetown Hospital, and a new helipad will allow us to better serve critically ill or injured patients," Hugh Brown, chief executive officer of St. David's Georgetown Hospital, said.
The helipad and additional parking are among the latest capital investments for St. David's Georgetown Hospital. In February, the hospital completed renovations to the emergency department, which included five additional treatment spaces.
In November 2016, St. David's Georgetown Hospital completed the construction of a new driveway and signs along I-35 to provide improved, more visible access to the hospital for emergency vehicles, patients and employees.
St. David's HealthCare continues to invest in capital improvements in Georgetown—one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.—to meet the need for high quality healthcare close to home.
St. David's Georgetown Hospital is part of St. David's HealthCare, one of the largest health systems in Texas, which was recognized with a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2014. St. David's Georgetown Hospital offers a range of services, including a 24-hour emergency department with a level IV trauma center; Certified Primary Stroke Center; Certified Chest Pain Center; inpatient and outpatient surgery; advanced pulmonary intervention; critical care capabilities; acute inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; and maternity and newborn services with mother-baby couplet care close to home for Georgetown families. In conjunction with its parent campus, St. David's Medical Center, St. David's Georgetown Hospital recently ranked among the top hospitals in the nation by earning a five-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's (CMS) new Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating system, and received from Healthgrades the 2017 America's 100 Best Hospitals Award™, 2017 Patient Safety Excellence Award™ and the 2017 Outstanding Patient Experience Award™—a unique trio of awards that only three hospitals in the nation were able to achieve—as well as the 2017 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence. Additionally, St. David's Georgetown Hospital was named to the list of 100 Top Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics for five years in conjunction with its parent campus, and the facility earned a national distinction for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group from 2012 to 2017.

Q: Can Babel compile for "node --harmony" instead of ES5? I am trying to compile a Koa app, and Koa has assertions that check to make sure that I am passing generator functions as middleware. However, I would like to compile my server side code from ES7 using Babel, for consistency with the front end code.
Is it possible to target node harmony, instead of ES5? I don't see anything promising in the options, but choosing a target seems like a standard thing to be able to do with a compiler.
update
Blacklisting Babel's regenerator transform seems to have no effect, even though I am using stage: 1.
index.js:
require( "babel/register" )({
    sourceMaps: "inline",
    stage: 1,
    blacklist: [ "regenerator" ],
    optional: [ "asyncToGenerator" ]
});

var app = require( "./src/server" );

app.listen( process.env.port || 3000 );

src/server.js:
import koa from "koa";
import router from "koa-router";

router.get( "/", function *( next ) {
    this.body = "Hi!";
});

let app = koa();
app.use( router() );

export default app;

Execute: node --harmony index.js
node --version
v0.12.4

A: There isn't really a standard definition of --harmony since it would depend on what version of Node or iojs you happen to be using. The best you can do with Babel is explicitly decide what transformations to run. Babel allows you to provide a whitelist and/or blacklist option e.g.
{
  blacklist: [
    'es6.classes'
  ]
}

for instance would stop transpiling ES6 classes and rely on your platform supporting them. The main list of transforms is here.
'regenerator' in this case would disable transpiling generators. If you disable that however, and you are using async functions, you'd want to then pass optional: ['asyncToGenerator'] to enable the transformation of async functions into standard generators with a wrapper function, as they'd otherwise end up in the final output.

A: Strange it's seems to be working from the CLI (with minor changes in server.js)
babel-node --blacklist regenerator --harmony server.js

Code for server.js:
import koa from "koa";
import router from "koa-router";

const Router = router();

Router.get( "/", function *( next ) {
    this.body = "Hi foo!";
});

let app = koa();
app.use( Router.routes() );

export default app;

Developing solar power and heat generating windows wins
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has won a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) Initiative award at the 2016 smart solar awards.
CPI, Merck, and Polysolar have joined forces to pioneer the creation of new materials such as solar glazing window panels that can both generate power as well as control building temperatures.
The project is funded by Innovate UK and its primary objectives comprise the development of intelligent windows that generate solar power and offer improved thermal control. In partnership with materials supplier Merck and leading BIPV producer Polysolar, CPI is developing the BIPV devices necessary for enabling these intelligent windows.
Intelligent windows will facilitate the drive towards zero carbon buildings by reducing building energy costs without compromising freedom in structural design for architects. An upgraded version of a semi-transparent grey-colored lisicon formulation from Merck is a key element to the BIPV movement. The group plan will substantially increase energy yield and better thermal insulation at a lower cost.
David Barwick, Principal Scientist at CPI collected the award on behalf of the project and said; ''Having the recognition from within in the industry for this project at an early stage reconfirms to us that this project is extremely important. It will ultimately provide the industry with the required lifetimes, dimensions and price points needed to evaluate how to take this emerging technology to market''.
The UK Solar Awards have been honouring the success stories in the UK for the last four years, the awards recognise success and development from research at lab scale through to commercialisation andfocus on the people, processes and products that drive the industry forward to achieve success in a competitive market.
The 2016 Smart Solar awards took place on24th November at the BRE Innovation Park, Watford.

A momentary event in a school classroom in Elmhurst, Illinois when I was nine years old had a profound effect on the rest of my life. It was time to pick an instrument to play in the school band or orchestra. I didn't care for my older brother's cornet. I couldn't get the clarinet to even squeak. The violin squeaked too much. The music teacher said they needed bass instruments. OK, I'll try the cello. I sat behind the instrument and, with a little help, pulled the bow across the strings. That was it. "I like that."
When I was in junior high my parents spent a rather large amount of money, for the time, on a vintage instrument for me. I joined the Elmhurst Symphony, a community orchestra, at about 15. In high school I played string quartets with friends who went on to attend prestigious music schools. Although that did not end up being my path, I continued to play in orchestras and quartets into adulthood.
Years later I was beginning to think I'd have to put the orchestra aside to beef up my social life, when an extraordinarily beautiful woman named Pam appeared in the first violin section. Friends from the orchestra played at our wedding. The old instrument my parents bought me had soared in value. A few years later we moved to the Milwaukee area and found the Menomonee Falls Symphony as our musical home. I was soon on the board of directors there. That happens when you're a lawyer.
When we moved to Lake Geneva in 2001 we found a tiny, fledgling group called the Lake Geneva Community Orchestra. It wasn't the level of musicianship I was used to, but it was my new hometown orchestra, and the musicians and the young conductor were friendly. It didn't take them long to get me on the board of directors either. The rest of that story is history. Living in Lake Geneva also meant we were close to our beloved sailboat.
Our first son played violin from age three to eight, when he announced he was going to switch to the cello. Honestly, it was his own choice. That led to years of driving to Milwaukee or Elgin for youth orchestra rehearsals, not to mention Green Bay and Door County for summer music camps. Our second son dutifully played viola into high school, but he more enjoyed being a stagehand and light operator at LGSO concerts, which, bless his heart, he never missed.
When my high school cellist had clearly gotten better than I was—much better—I realized I was only a custodian. It was obvious he should play the beautiful cello that his grandparents bought him 25 years before he was born. I like my new cello just fine. It's forgiving.
Today I'm still a lawyer, still playing in a community orchestra, still on the board of directors, and still sailing. My sons, to my amazement, are both serving their country in the U.S. Navy. I've had a modicum of success recently teaching cello to a handful of students. That talent must come with age. The achievements of the LGSO have exceeded my wildest dreams. I've performed music I never thought I would, at an astoundingly high level, especially Beethoven's Ninth and the Rite of Spring. It's way worth all the practice.

Can I Use Personal Loan for Business Purposes?
A personal loan can be defined as a loan that is not secured against any asset. Whether you are facing a cash crunch in organising a wedding or want to go overseas or looking for some extra funds to finance your daughter's education – Personal loan is the mantra for money. That's why today lakh and lakh of prospective buyers are leveraging the benefits of personal loans. In this blog, we would discuss an important aspect – is personal loan also useful when it comes to investing in for business purposes.
Can a self-employed person use the personal loan for expansion of his business venture?
How the personal loan for a business is different from that of the business loan?
Let's find out the answers here. Businessmen or individuals intending to start a venture need capital. Usually, most of the businessmen rely on borrowing money from a lender. In order to avail business loans, the aspirants have to pass through stringent eligibility tests. Again, a lender approves the application only when the business has some credit worthiness. How can a lender lend money for a business, whose commercial value is negligible?
Most of the time, the personal loan aspirants are unable to establish the creditworthiness of their business and in this situation, they have to face rejection at the lenders' end. Instead of a business loan, if they would go for personal loans, their applications may get approved. In a case of the personal loan, the lender evaluates the cash flow and credit records of the borrower. His business is not evaluated for the financing of the personal loan. Though aspirants can approach for a personal loan for whatsoever reasons, but the reason has to be approved by the bank/lending partner.
Why you need a good CIBIL score?
When you start a business, generally, it is very difficult to raise funding just like an impossible climb. In this situation, you can utilise the potential of your personal credit score and avail personal loan for your business. Here, the credit score plays an indispensable role because high credit score entitles you for decent interest rate and establishes your loan repayment capability in a positive manner.
How to overcome the problem of poor CIBIL Score?
Are you afraid of credit default and because of this facing tough time rejection at lender's end? In this scenario, you can go with bad debt personal loans. Just mention the right reason while availing funding from the lender. And there are lending institutions engaged in offering bad debt personal loans that can be availed with low credit score. Even if your business doesn't have financial history or business track record, you can borrow money in a convenient way.
In case, if you are not meeting the eligibility criteria of banks/NBFCS, there are peer to peer lending platforms (PLP) for your help. Some of the PLPs go beyond credit score and do the assessment of the borrower on 40 different parameters.
There is no requirement of collateral for personal loans…….
The maximum loan amount is much more in the case of business loans. However, you have to provide the collateral to earn approval. Business loans can be considered if you have a sound credit score, robust business plans, and collateral. There is no need to showcase any collateral for personal loans.
You need funding to run your business and 'personal loans' can be a right way to help you. Interestingly, when you leverage the funding for an expansion of your business, it results in capital formation in the country. India is on road to developments and your financial success would play a constructive role in shaping the India's economic future.

This rogue, my dude. BUT I would like to learn, I dont like the fragility of automatic transmissions.
Not only should they cover how to drive stick, but do it in a variety of vehicles. A little hatchback, a motorcycle, and an old beat up pick up. A Semi or some other kind of big truck. Just covering all bases I can think of.
That'd be a short episode.
Throw in a 2-minute intro, 3 minutes of banter before they get in the car, and a 2-minute Nord VPN ad and you're practically at 10 minutes already!
The absolute state of youtube these days.


anyone ever try to add a glovebox to a pre 2003?
This requires replacing the entire dashboard with one from a 2003 or 2004 car.
Overly difficult? Not so much.
I believe that the dashboard support beam also needs to be replaced, as well, since it was changed to allow fitment.
welllll, ok, it was just a thought, thanks all!


In the hours following Osama Bin Laden's death, a Saudi diplomat is assassinated on New York's Fifth Avenue; a bomb rips apart London's Downing Street; in Paris the French President is assassinated while hosting a NATO summit; and the flow of the essential lifeblood of the United States – oil – is being fatally disrupted.
With international security on the verge of collapse, Eddie Mallon's deeply personal connection to this newest puzzle provides the unique insight crucial to deciphering the clues. But while security agencies and law enforcement across the globe struggle to comprehend what is happening, Eddie must rely on his disparate international contacts — a Dutch security chief, a powerful old friend at Scotland Yard, an attractive and uber smart CIA special agent, and a Hopi FBI Agent among them — and his blind need for justice at any cost, to find the terrorist mastermind and determine his ultimate plan.
Terrifyingly, it is closer and more devastating than anyone could imagine.

After ousting Alexander, Crown's Coonan makes desperate pitch to save her own job
Elizabeth Knight
Business columnist
You couldn't make this stuff up. Former executive chairman of Crown John Alexander had been the victim of a coup in January staged by the now chairman and former Liberal senator, Helen Coonan, and mounted while he was out of the country.
It was a startling beginning to Tuesday's inquiry into Crown.
Although Coonan took issue with the "coup" label, the fact Alexander gave up the chair unexpectedly and was given an unspecified and untitled executive position with no apparent duties other than to show the ropes to his replacement, chief executive Ken Barton, always seemed strange.
As the inquiry has repeatedly heard Barton, who had been chief financial officer, was in the thick of Crown's operations.
Helen Coonan - Crown chair
Alexander's plank walking exercise was richly rewarded with a $3.5 million pay package for a year's work - more generous even than Barton's salary. The announcement didn't expressly say Alexander would leave in the year but anyone that made inquiries was made aware that was the deal.
Coonan's take on January's management and board upheaval was that it was a nod to non-Packer shareholders who were looking for a more conventional governance strategy. Anyone who has followed the Crown inquiry over the past few months will find that concept jarring/gobsmacking and even laughable.
Important information and decisions about the operation of the business were ring-fenced inside an inner sanctum – a handful of Crown executives and Packer operatives. Thus normal reporting lines were bypassed.
The removal of Alexander and the creation of a chairman's role distinct from the chief executive role feels largely cosmetic when seen against the bigger problems within Crown.
Helen Coonan's time in the witness box these past days is tantamount to her application to remain as chairman – her pitch being she will become a change agent for an organisation in desperate need of an overhaul.
She told the inquiry she was "invested" in Crown's future. It remains to be seen whether she will have the opportunity to make a return on that investment.
Her pitch was certainly not helped by her admission that she may have known about an AUSTRAC investigation, announced by Crown on Monday, but had failed to mention it during her first day of giving evidence on Friday.
Coonan's was a desperate attempt to argue that Crown 2.0 will emerge as a more conventional company with a proper structure, a raft of new management, and new compliance operatives having hired a swath of external consultants to write reports on what went wrong and how it can be avoided in future.
That's the "go forward" piece. And it's up to Bergin whether she will take this on faith.
If she doesn't Crown risks having to postpone the opening of its Sydney casino - and that isn't the worst outcome. It is possible Bergin will recommend that Crown loses its NSW licence.
The tricky part for all the Crown directors that have filed into the virtual witness box – many of whom want to retain their seats on the board – is that they sat aloft in this organisation with a duty to oversee the company's risk, governance, compliance with anti-money laundering laws. All this during periods where the company failed in each area.
All tried to walk the delicate balance between acknowledging Crown's failings, defending some of them and justifying their role.
It was clear from Commissioner Patricia Bergin's comments and questions that she needs to be comfortable that the current Crown regime can oversee its massive cultural overhaul. She appears equally interested in whether the current casino regulatory regime is fit for purpose.
The independent directors relied heavily on the fact that they were unaware of the problems within Crown because they were deprived of information from management. It is a defence that only goes so far.
While the inquiry was partly initiated on the back of a series of reports in 2019 from this masthead and 60 Minutes, there have been numerous media exposés about Crown's association with junket operators with links to organised crime.
Some directors – bizarrely – admitted to not having been aware of them. Some were not aware of the Chinese government's crackdown on foreign casinos – an issue well canvassed in the media. Most directors admitted to having no real knowledge or skills around anti-money laundering.
The one thing most directors had in common was some kind of prior dealings or relationship with James Packer. Coonan's history with the Packers goes back to her time as federal Communications Minister when the Packers were heavily involved in the media industry.
And if Packer is ultimately required to sell or sell down his stake in Crown it is difficult to see how any or all can survive without his support. Indeed Packer indicated in his evidence that changes to the board are needed alongside independence.
It has already become clear that large minority shareholders are planning to vote against three directors up for re-election at the company's annual meeting on Thursday.

The mortgage process is regulated by a law called the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, also known as RESPA. From the borrower's standpoint, the most important thing to know about RESPA is that it requires lenders to disclose certain information to borrowers about costs, fees and interest rates before moving forward with the mortgage process. RESPA was designed to help borrowers select the mortgage that is right for them and to protect them from getting ripped off by lenders.
RESPA was implemented to provide borrowers with more up-front information on key mortgage terms before borrowers select a lender. RESPA is supposed to help borrowers avoid a "bait and switch" by lenders -- when the lender promises one set of terms at the beginning of the mortgage process but then delivers another, less attractive set of terms, such as a higher interest rate or closing costs, when the mortgage is finalized.
RESPA requires that lenders provide borrowers an extensive amount of information and numerous documents before borrowers select a lender for their mortgage and when their mortgage closes. The four documents below are the most important for borrowers to understand and review when they get a mortgage. According to RESPA regulations, lenders are required to provide the Good Faith Estimate, Truth-in-Lending Statement and HUD-1 Statement to borrowers. Lenders are not required to provide the Lenders Fee Worksheet by law but typically provide it if borrowers request it.
You should request the Good Faith Estimate , Truth-in-Lending Statement and Lender Fees Worksheet when you interview lenders and compare mortgage proposals. If a lender is unwilling to provide these documents at the time you submit a mortgage application or request a mortgage proposal, this raises a red flag and you should contact other lenders. If used properly, these documents are highly valuable tools for borrowers to review mortgage proposals and negotiate the best terms for their mortgage. Borrowers should review the HUD-1 prior to mortgage closing to confirm they are receiving the mortgage terms that the lender committed to at the beginning of the process.
Lenders may require you to submit a loan application in order to receive these documents. This requires a little extra effort on your part (and the lender's part) but it is well worth it if you can improve the terms of your mortgage. Submitting a loan application to a lender and receiving documents such as the Good Faith Estimate does not mean that you are required to work with that lender. It means that you are gathering information to allow you to make an informed decision about your mortgage. Lenders must provide borrowers with certain RESPA disclosure items, including the Good Faith Estimate, within three days of submitting the application.

Corn meal and flour coated oysters fried up in oil. How can it get much better? Well, add a horseradish sauce to dip them in and it gets a whole lot better!
Combine meal, flour and Creole seasoning, stirring well. Combine eggs and milk, beating well with a fork. Dip oysters in egg mixture and dredge in flour mixture.
Pour oil in deep skillet or Dutch oven to about 2 inches deep. Heat oil and fry oysters until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
For sauce, combine all ingredients and stir to combine. Refrigerate until oysters are ready.
"Very good. The cornmeal adds a little sweetness with a touch of heat in the cayenne. I would even add a little more cayenne. Be sure to sprinkle with salt right out of the oil."

Q: What exactly does this XPath expression do (count and here)? This is from the XML Signature specification:
<XPath xmlns:dsig="&dsig;">
count(ancestor-or-self::dsig:Signature |
here()/ancestor::dsig:Signature[1]) >
count(ancestor-or-self::dsig:Signature)</XPath>

The accompanying text says "An enveloped signature transform T removes the whole Signature element containing T from the digest calculation of the Reference element containing T." I don't have a working here() so I can't probe it. I think the text of the specification is a little loose. Consider the following scenario:
<saml2:Assertion ID="2">
 <ds:Signature ID="s1">
  <ds:SignedInfo>
   <ds:Reference URI="#2">
    <ds:Transforms><ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/></ds:Transforms>
   </ds:Reference>
  </ds:SignedInfo>
 </ds:Signature>
 <ds:Signature ID="s2">
  <ds:SignedInfo>
   <ds:Reference URI="#2">
    <ds:Transforms><ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/></ds:Transforms>
   </ds:Reference>
  </ds:SignedInfo>
 </ds:Signature>
 <ds:Signature  ID="s3">
  <ds:SignedInfo>
   <ds:Reference URI="#2">
    <ds:Transforms><ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/></ds:Transforms>
   </ds:Reference>
  </ds:SignedInfo>
 </ds:Signature>
</saml2:Assertion>

With the active node being "s2", which <ds:Signature> nodes are removed?
The system XML library is broken. I can't ask it.

A: count(ancestor-or-self::dsig:Signature |
        here()/ancestor::dsig:Signature[1]) >
      count(ancestor-or-self::dsig:Signature)

The expression count(X|Y) > count(X) returns true if Y contains one or more nodes that are not included in X.
I think the [1] is entirely redundant. The expression is true if here() has an ancestor Signature that is not an ancestor-or-self of the context node.
As for what here() does, you'll have to get that from someone who knows the XML Signature spec.
The expression, where it appears in the XML Signature spec, is immediately followed by an explanation: "For each node of the document, the predicate expression is true if and only if the node-set containing the node and its Signature element ancestors does not include the enveloped Signature element containing the XPath expression". I'm not sure what part of that isn't clear...

McDonald's Will Put Watered-down Juice Boxes in Happy Meals So They're Healthier
By Clint Rainey
Mickey D's accountants have something to smile at. Photo: Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg via Getty Images
McDonald's has a new trick to make Happy Meals better for kids, and it involves eliminating those incredibly unwholesome … 100 percent juice boxes. It's not as crazy as it sounds, only maybe halfway: Like most past tricks to promote healthier eating under the Golden Arches, the chain is still busy abolishing the bad stuff, not proactively adding anything nutritious just because. Over the years, the Happy Meal in particular has had its French fry portions shrunken, artificial flavors removed, and soda options banished. The beverage choices in effect since 2013 include apple juice or one of two "Milk Jugs" (either low-fat or fat-free chocolate).
Now, the juice option is changing, a move McDonald's touts as a switch to a healthier brand: Minute Maid will become Honest Tea's line for children, Honest Kids. The main difference? New juice boxes available in November won't contain 100 percent fruit juice like Minute Maid's did; instead, they'll have more water than juice. A McDonald's nutritionist tells the paper that the sugar content is lower, and that's what parents informed the company they wanted.
The new boxes of "Appley Ever After" seem misleadingly named, though, since they contain just 42 percent apple juice. This translates to ten fewer grams of sugar per juice box, half the number of calories, and a prominent "USDA Organic" label on the front. Organic or not, with 58 percent less apple involved, it has to cost less to make. As it happens, Honest Kids is a Coke-owned brand, just like Minute Maid is. (Coca-Cola has been McDonald's exclusive soda provider since 1955, when Ray Kroc convinced the company to partner with the fledgling chain.) Coke declined to provide The Wall Street Journal with a comment about "any financial effect from the switch."

And I would also like to know if Last Blade, Last Blade 2 and King of Fighters 2000-2002 can be found on the Sony Playstation console.
If not is there a way to make it work on it?
Actually, SNK VS. Capcom has been/will be released shortly.
He did not mention SNK Vs. Capcom.
DamianMoran wrote: He did not mention SNK Vs. Capcom.
Yeah, I know they're different, but, well, they are similar.
Purely due to the fact they are on different hardware and devved by different softco.
Why do they even still bother?!?
Please stop me if Im wrong but wont SNK vs C just be a poor version of C vs SNK? With less animation frames and colours and all that malarky.
I'll take my DC version any day. I just wish I had a decent arcade stick for it.

Only Last Blade is on Playstation as far as I know. KoF stopped at 99. So Last Blade 2, KoF 2000-2002 are all on DC.
No there's no way to make it work on Playstation. Get a DC.
WOW guys thanks for the help!
Now I'll wait for SNK vs. Capcom and I'll get Last Blade for my PSX.
