Sanbot's advanced software and software systems will take education into the future. From elementary school, to high school and university, the Sanbot open API robot can be programmed to help educate students of all academic levels.
With cute humanoid body, Sanbot can teach kids to sing, dance, paint, and help them with their native language or learning another language. With a 1080P touchscreen and 720p laser projector, the intelligent educational robot can play a series of education materials for kids, enriching their knowledge in the preschool.
In the school, Sanbot's facial recognition helps track and record students' attendance records, and their parent also know their kids' check-in and check-out record via the mobile APP Q-Link. With this mobile APP, parents can watch their condition in classroom. Sanbot teaching assistant records all the contents the teacher uses, which enables students to learn about the material they may have missed in class.
Sanbot robot is the robot that will help kids open up about how they are feeling. Via Q & A, stories, photos, video on Sanbot, students tell Sanbot their real thoughts freely. In this way, their parents and teachers will know about their kids and students, and then adopt correct actions to affect their children positively. Sanbot can also be programmed to educate the students to grow up in right ways and think openly.
Distance is not a problem with the technology's development. With the Q-Link APP, the absent students can participate in the real-time classes or conference through mobile or computer Q-Link APP. And the long-distance participators can also interact with the attendees via Q-Link freely. With Internet connected, Sanbot can push courses and contents so learners can get the newest knowledge and news around the world.
Sanbot recorded and stored the contents Stvan taught and students could learn from the robot directly if they didn't catch all the classes, reducing teacher's responsibility and time. During the break, students surrounded Sanbot, asking teacher about how the robot works, interacting with the AI robot, and dancing together with the rhythm of Sanbot, and, students enjoyed the interesting movies via the 1080p touchscreen or HD laser HD projector. What's more, the robot can help with check-in and check-out when the class begins and finishes. And the parents can easily know their kids' class condition via Q-Link mobile App, reassuring them a lot.
In August, Qianhai Harbor School (with the parents' permission), and other 10 schools tried a new method in helping students, and Sanbot has been a part of 120 sessions per school.
Students were brought into a room and talked to Sanbot one-on-one. The advanced AI robot presented them with a series of test questions and the children were very responsive to Sanbot. Another exercise was a psychiatrist controlled Sanbot remotely and talked to the student through this programmable humanoid robot. Both methods had success.
Based on the Sanbot open platform, Sanbot is programmed for education, with masses of preschool education resources integrated, assists teachers interestingly like one buddy, friendly and equally.
In the Second Experiment Primary School of SUS Tech, Sanbot standardizes the education, enriches the contents repetitively but interestingly, and mobilizes the kids' learning interest and initiative magically, making the learning more interesting and contribute the education quietly. The new coming intelligent education robot is as old as kid, but knowledge-abundant, professional and patent, who must be the professor from the Mars.


Fresh off earning two shiny stars from Michelin this year, Joshua Skenes is making some changes at Saison.
First and foremost, after Thanksgiving weekend, the dining room will be reconfigured from its current 42 seats to 18 seats. There will only be one seating per evening at each table, meaning there will be no turns, which is something Skenes has wanted to do for a while. The regular menu is currently up to 12 (or more) courses, $198 per person. They are still in lease negotiations for the potential downtown space.
So why take away more than half the seats?
The other big change is that Saison is now offering special menus at the chef's counter for four people a night, but via a prepaid online ticket system. At the counter, the restaurant will offer a 16+ course tasting menu for $498 per person, including pairings. If you'll recall, the counter seating system and pricing were part of Skenes' original plan for the space; however, back then, Saison couldn't streamline it as well and with a Michelin boost, they've brought it back.
How do the numbers work, with fewer seats available?

'You Were Never Really Here' film review
Simona Viackute
It's fascinating how this film is both intricate, intense, poetic and sensual. A beautiful array of vignettes are tied together by Johnny Greenwood's score and the whole film becomes almost like a piece of music, incorporating the diegetic clinks, bangs and thumps.
Blood and violence accompany the character's journey, but it never becomes the main focus. The world we never see, the one in Joe's head, is in the foreground. The world which causes him to lean over the train track, almost letting himself go. He wants to free himself from the chains of the past and the horrible visions that haunt him. How can one kill so brutally and yet appear so vulnerable? The need to help, to save, to take vengeance, is the driving force behind this child-like being, who's closest character is his mother. The purpose of saving someone urges him more than the internal instinct to stay alive. It's a complex character study, as Joaquin Phoenix embodies Joe physically and mentally, creating deep layers that you can't help and become infatuated with.
However, the film focuses so much on him and how he see's life, that other characters very quickly become two-dimensional. They die left right and centre, and you can't feel sympathy for any of them, just sit back and absorb it as quickly as it comes, becoming numb to the violence. Who is the antagonist in this story? The flashbacks can be disappointing because, as strange as it sounds, they reveal too much, and other times not enough. Some things are better left to the imagination, and this film fails to find the right balance. However, it's all about Joe (Joaquin Phoenix) fighting his inner demons, his distorted reality, and his inability to connect .
'You Were Never Really Here' might refer to Joe's inability to be present, to feel the violence he inflicts, the people he murders. In many scenes, he acts as if he's absent and his conscience lives in the past, but there seems to be no redemption for him. However, just as all seems lost, when our world begins to crumble, the people we try to help can become our saviours. And so in the end, the two damaged souls find each other and leave their shattered pasts behind them.
Overall, 'You Were Never Really Here' proves that a thrilling film does not need a plot packed with action. In this case, less is more, and it's strengths are poetic editing and the soundtrack. Dialogue is insignificant at times, because the visuals say it all, and writer/director Lynne Ramsay has proved it many times before.

Scientists have evidence great white sharks dive to far greater depths than previously realised
A great white shark tagged with a scientific data recording tag in New Zealand waters has been recorded to dive to almost 4000 feet below the ocean surface.
Data revealed by the scientists shows that the 4.8m shark, dubbed "Shack" probed to 1,200 meters, or 3,937 feet, as it crossed deep open ocean towards its summer ranges.
The scientist in charge of the tagging study, said this is "the world's deepest shark dive record" and said it extends the predators' known vertical range by about 600 feet--which is substantial given that great whites, until fairly recently, were regarded as coastal predators.
"A big shark called 'Shack', the biggest great white we have tagged, at 4.8 metres, has set the world's deepest great white shark dive record," says NIWA Principal Scientist, Malcolm Francis.
"And he made several other very deep dive records between 1000 and 1200 metres while crossing the ocean. Prior to this, we had recorded several at around 1000 metres, so it's quite a substantial extension."
The shark passed through the Mesopelagic Zone (600-3,300 feet), also referred to as the "Twilight Zone," and continued well into the Bathypelagic Zone (3,300-13,000 feet), or the "Midnight Zone."
This is the realm of alien-like sea jellies and squids. It's also home to monster-like, needle-toothed predatory fishes and eels that utilize bioluminescence for light.
What was the great white doing in the company of viperfish, hatchetfish, dragonfish, sabertooth fish, fangtooth fish and gulper eels?
A Southern California-based researcher, who has tracked great whites to about 3,000 feet, believes they're searching for food at deep-water haunts. The chief food source would be various squid species, including the fabled giant squid, whose epic battles with sperm whales are legendary.
His study has tracked white sharks from Guadalupe Island off Mexico to a vast, mid-Pacific area between Baja California and Hawaii. A similar tagging effort at the Farallon Islands west of San Francisco has followed white sharks to the same spring-and-early-summer habitat.
Great white sharks are found in waters all around New Zealand. National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), and Department of Conservation (DOC) scientists are investigating the long distance movements of great white sharks inside and outside New Zealand's territorial waters to improve our understanding of their species's migratory patterns.
It will assist with designing management measures to reduce shark bycatch in fisheries.
While great white sharks have been protected in New Zealand waters since 2007, little is known about their habitat requirements, and their interactions with great white sharks elsewhere.
New Zealand scientists tagged 25 great white sharks with electronic "pop-up" tags at Stewart and Chatham Islands, over a five year period.
The high-tech tag records location, depth and temperature, and releases itself after a pre-determined time, usually 6–9 months, to transmit its data via satellite.
Of the 25 tagged sharks, four tags came off within the first two weeks. Movement tracks could be determined for nineteen sharks, and only one of those stayed near the tagging site the whole time; 'Kara', a big female shark, stayed near Stewart Island to Fiordland. The other 18 headed towards warmer tropical waters.
"Before we started this work, five years ago, it was thought that great white sharks were cold water animals. But it seems the great white sharks are taking tropical winter holidays, departing New Zealand between April and September, for somewhere warmer.
The maximum distance migrated was 3300 km," says Francis. One shark returned to its Chatham Islands tagging site after spending 6 months at Norfolk Island.
"Our sharks don't cross the equator; so far our tagged animals have only gone as far north as 17 degrees south, north of New Caledonia," says Francis.
They take long migratory trips making deep dives as they go. They can travel 150 km a day and it takes them just three weeks to get to Australia.
Great white sharks experience a huge range of water temperatures between 3 and 27 degrees Celsius.
Tagging a shark is not an easy process.
"We have to attract them to the boat, with a berley of tuna oil and minced tuna. Then we use a long pole that has a needle tip on it. The tag has a monofilament nylon leader with a barbed plastic anchor on it. The anchor slides over the needle tip, which is injected under the skin of the shark with the pole," says Department of Conservation scientist Clinton Duffy.
"When the shark is close enough and at (hopefully) the right angle, we use the pole to stab the anchor into the muscle below the dorsal fin as it swims by," says Duffy. "Lots of patience is needed because usually the shark is moving around, its back is exposed only for a short amount of time and the dorsal fin is out of reach."
After nearly a year, the tag releases itself from the tether, floats to the ocean surface and starts sending the data via satellite, to France. "If the tag itself is recovered after washing ashore, we are able to extract much more high resolution data from it. So far, we have recovered 6 of our tags from the Pacific Ocean. These "pop-up" tags cost $5000 each, and they have a return to sender message on them.
"The tag leaders have a small guillotineon them, which can cut through the monofilament nylon, and release the tag if it goes too deep," Says Duffy.
There seem to be two distinct populations of great white sharks, so far there has been no direct mixing between the Stewart and Chatham Islands sharks, though there is some overlap of these sharks in Australia.
Australian tagged sharks have turned up in New Zealand waters which suggests that the southwest Pacific may comprise a single population.
New Zealand sharks have migrated to eastern Australia (New South Wales and Queensland), the Coral Sea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Norfolk and Tonga.
"Most of the Stewart Island sharks head to the northwest of New Zealand, whereas most of the sharks tagged around the Chatham Islands head north of New Zealand. They tend to stay separate even up in the tropics," says Francis. "We need more biopsy DNA samples to see whether they are separate populations or are interbreeding."
DoC and NIWA scientists have just completed another two week trip to Stewart Island to tag sharks.
The expedition was extremely successful with about 30 different sharks being recorded using photo-identification techniques, six sharks being tagged with popup tags, and one with a dorsal fin tag. The dorsal fin tag sends messages to a satellite every time the dorsal fin breaks the surface, so it provides real-time information on the shark's location.
"Positions determined this way are much more accurate than those obtained from pop-up tags, so they allow us to get finer-scale information on the shark's habitat and behaviour. The focus of our research is now moving from the large-scale picture of movements around the South-West Pacific to the smaller-scale habitat use in our own backyard," said Dr Francis.
In future we will be deploying more dorsal fin tags and also acoustic tags which send out sound pulses which can be picked up by listening stations up to half a kilometre away. These tags will hopefully reveal whether sharks repeatedly return to the same locations, how long they spend in one spot, and what their favourite spots are.
Most of the sharks tagged so far in the programme have been sub adults of both sexes, or mature males. Clinton Duffy is also trying to tag juvenile great white sharks in places like the Manukau and Kaipara harbours, to determine whether they are as mobile as the larger sharks.
This research is funded mainly by the Department of Conservation, the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, and NIWA.

Jalan Besar Stadium, Thursday, June 4, 2015 — Singapore lost 1–2 to Myanmar in their second game of the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games under-23 football tournament.
Here are three talking points from last night's game.
The 1–2 loss could have been a 4–2 win for Singapore. Sahil Suhaimi (#7) had at least three chances, but good defending or poor shooting saw him draw another blank for the second game in a row.
Pravin Gunasagaran (#12) went close with a stiff shot at the start of the second half, and Irfan Fandi (#17) had a goal disallowed because in football these days, you cannot so much as touch the goalkeeper anymore when he is in the air.
Scoring is an issue – no recognised Singapore striker has scored from open play in 180 minutes of football.
When kicked, the Mikasa match ball has the same flight consistency as a cheap plastic ball you buy at a HDB provision shop.
Singapore goalkeeper Syazwan Buhari (#24) will take the flak for his goalkeeping error, but watch how the ball takes weird dips and swerves on its way into goal. The last time some of us saw a ball swerve like that, it was while playing with plastic balls on basketball courts.
SEA Games Football: How would you rate Singapore's performance in their 1–2 loss to Myanmar?

But most importantly, he's an individual investor…just like you.
Mr. Wenger began his investing journey as we all do; making just enough money to feel like he knew what he was doing. Fortunately (although at the time, not so much), the bear market in the early 2000's quickly revealed issues with his methods and sent him back to the drawing board.
As Joel searched for answers and made adjustments to his process, he realized that being "right" and making money were two completely different things in the world of investing. By combining corporate finance, lean process improvement, and organizational strategy, he crafted the Principles of Safe Investing. These 10 rules formed the bedrock of his investing process and helped him avoid massive losses during the 2008 financial crisis.
As he likes to say, "Now I know a little bit about a little bit."
Joel performed his graduate studies at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, focusing on Strategy and Entrepreneurship, while being a member of the General Management and Organizational Strategy club.
His undergraduate work was at GMI Engineering and Management Institute (now known as Kettering University), where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, with an automotive design concentration and a minor in Management. He's a Sigma Chi and was also a member of the Lacrosse Club.

Q: Can't use mysqli with PHP on Windows from web-browser, but it works from command line In php.ini i have extension_dir = "ext" and extension=php_mysqli.dll
But when i use
$servername = "localhost";$username = "root";$password = "12345678";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

i got error:

Class 'mysqli' not found

in C:\php\ext i have php_mysqli.dll.
Also running the same script from command line, C:\Apache24\htdocs>php connection.php, i have

Connected successfully

I believe the problem is that when running from Apache, php doesn't read php.ini.

A: It's appeared that for some reason when starting from apache php tries to read ini file from C:\Windows. Running info.php i got this line:
Configuration File (php.ini)                Path    C:\Windows

So, i just copied php.ini into C:\Windows and all works.

Okay first of all this depends on the type of journal/magazine it will be sent to. If it is a very scholarly one, I would say the second paragraph about Study breaks is more opinionated than fact based. I would maybe change that one up a bit to not sound so sarcastic and opinion based.
The only other thing I would change is the line "So.. Here's what you do… study hard, be evil. Take over the world with your vast knowledge and then take a break. " I dunno but that doesn't sound to scholarly. maybe change that up some.
As I said, if the journal/magazine you are writting to has articles of this type, then it sounds fine to me. Otherwise you might consider doing those revisions.
Oh and grammatical error I noticed in the line "I don't know how it's like in other universities, but over at UOWD....." that how should be what.
Grammar error, natch, oughta be 'how' because we get a study break some universities go straight into exams. I know what it's like in some universities because I transferred from AUD to UOWD. Two different systems there. But I'll probably change that sentence there to make more sense because I didn't elaborate it in there... Thanks for pointing this one out!


Anyone who has read his gripping books, or watched his accompanying TV series chronicling that disastrous decade The Seventies by my Mail colleague, the historian Dominic Sandbrook, and who is too young to remember the events themselves, may well wonder exactly how Mrs Thatcher arose like a Phoenix from the ashes to save her party and Britain from the catastrophe wrought by Edward Heath, arguably the worst Prime Minister of the 20th century - at least until the advent of Tony Blair.
The question is made all the more pressing and topical by the striking parallels between then and now. In 1974 the country was also on its knees economically. Racked by a sudden hike in oil prices caused by a Middle East War, Britain was on the floor and rapidly being counted out. The all-powerful Trade Unions turned the knife in our back by repeated stoppages, culminating in a Miners' strike to which Heath's Tory Government responded by turning the lights out and making everyone work a three day week.
Duly defeated at the polls, and more decisively in a second election later the same year, Heath, a monument to vanity and purblind arrogance, refused to draw the obvious conclusion that, having been rejected by the voters in three out of the four elections he had fought as Tory leader, it was time to give someone else a chance to succeed where he had so manifestly failed. Like some sort of large moulting bird, Heath stubbornly clung to his leadership perch.
Enter a Tory MP named Airey Neave. As an intelligence officer and successful Colditz escaper in World War Two, the heroic Neave had learned all there is to know about intrigue, deception and the political Black Arts. His political career had stalled after a heart attack in the 1950s, and he became an implacable enemy of Heath, who, with typical insensitivity, had told him he was 'finished'. Instead, Neave became a backroom operator, a cool calculator, a whisperer in influential ears, and a stalwart of the Tory backbenchers' "Trade Union" the 1922 Committee, (named after the year when restive Conservative backbenchers brought down a Coalition with Lloyd George's Liberals - David Cameron: take note).
In vain Neave attempted to persuade fellow right-wingers Sir Keith Joseph, an intellectual newly converted to monetarism, and Edward Du Cann, Chairman of the 1922 Committee, to stand against Heath. But it was third time lucky when he asked Margaret Thatcher to become the standard bearer against Heath's surrender to socialism. When she told Heath of her decision to stand, with his habitual charm he grunted 'You'll lose'. But, as usual, Heath was wrong. As Thatcher's campaign manager Neave conducted the campaign with feline skill, telling waverers horrified by the idea of electing a woman, - and a woman of principle at that, - as Tory leader, that Thatcher had no chance of winning. But, Neave added craftily, it was important that she achieved enough votes to clear the decks for someone else to stand against 'Sailor Ted' in the second round. He persuaded or deceived enough doubters - just - to win.
When the votes were counted in February 1975 - a whole year after the election that ended his inglorious Premiership - Heath was out, with 119 votes; and Thatcher was in with 130. In vain did those Tories who had been too cowardly to stand against Heath first time round pile in for the second round - Thatcher won easily. Though she would have her problems with the Heathite Tory 'wets' throughout her leadership - and they would, in the end, bring her down - they were unable to prevent her decisively breaking with the disastrous big state, union appeasing, lame duck subsidising semi-socialism of the Heath era; winning three elections and putting Britain in a prouder, stronger and more prosperous place than she had found it.
What you may say, has this ancient history got to do with our parlous state today? Now, almost forty years after she challenged for the leadership and more than two decades after the Iron lady's overthrown, Britain is once again teetering on the brink of disaster, misruled by a broken-backed Coalition presided over by a reincarnated Heath : a false Conservative poseur who has surrounded himself with a cabal of cronies indifferent to or actively hostile to the core values that have made the Conservatives the world's most durable party of government.
No wonder the surviving Wet dinosaurs of the Heath era, the men who plotted Thatcher's downfall and finally saw their treachery triumph, look on in benign approval as Heath-Cameron trashes the Thatcherite achievement and contemptuously tramples on Tory ideals. No wonder that these old men - Heseltine, Clarke, Patton, Rifkind - have all been given jobs in Dave's regime while Thatcherite elder statesmen like Norman Tebbit have been disdainfully ignored.
And no wonder, too, that this out-of-touch Government of posh boys is running headlong into the mire. Rudderless, rootless, giving a disastrous impression of favouring the rich over the poor, squeezing the squeezed middle even further; shovelling billions that we haven't got into the EU's bottomless coffers via the IMF, concreting the countryside over to house the immigrants they are too useless to keep out; and now giving out the unmissable stench of rancid political corruption, the Cameron Government is in deep, deep trouble - as next Thursday's disastrous local government polls will amply prove.
The pattern of the Heathite 1970s is repeating itself with eerie accuracy. Just as Heath promised in 1970 to free Britain from the shackles of an overweening state, so Cameron promised to replace a bureaucratic Big Brother monster with a 'Big Society' of volunteers. In office, however, both men have only bloated the beast of the Big State with more tax, more regulations and - perhaps above all- a slavish subservience to an increasingly sinister European Union - the leviathan whose jaws Heath entered with a promise that it would not erode Britain's sovereignty. Forty years on, Dave is happily signing away the last shreds of our right to govern ourselves to the unelected Brussels elite, and denying us even the semblance of a say in the matter.
Just as in 1974 the Government is increasingly unpopular, drowning in debt and thrashing around for a coherent policy on anything at all. Just as in 1974, a lacklustre Labour opposition is content to wait for power to fall yet again into its hands. Which it will surely do unless - and I know this is a big ask - Tory MPs find the spine to do something about it and a new Airey Neave emerges to organise their resistance.
Under current rules, all it would take to trigger a Tory leadership election would be a letter from just 15% of the 305 Conservative MPs - that's around 46 of them - to the Chairman of their 1922 Committee, Graham Brady, calling for a vote of no confidence in David Cameron. The figure of 46 is around half of the 81 Tory rebels who courageously defied Dave's bullying three line Whip last October in calling for an EU referendum, so the numbers are there. What's lacking, perhaps is the necessary courage. And of course, a new Airey Neave to browbeat, charm, or cajole frightened Tory MPs into doing the right thing. Changing leadership horses in the mid-stream of a Parliament would be a risk - it might break up the Coalition, or lead to a minority Government under a new leader. Anything, however, would be better than the current Eton mess which is leading the Tory party, and Britain itself, to certain perdition.

Battleship Missouri Memorial

The Battleship Missouri Memorial was launched in 1944 and is the last battleship ever built. Today's it's a museum that you can tour.
• General: Cost: Paid • General: Educational • General: Has Gift Shop • General: Photo Opportunity • General: Restrooms
• Sightseeing: Great Views • Tours: Boat & Submarine • Tours: Guided • Tours: Self Guided • Cultural & Historical: Memorials / Statues
The Battleship Missouri Memorial is located at Pearl Harbor & USS Arizona Memorial on the island of O'ahu. The USS Missouri was launched back on January 29, 1944 and is the last battleship ever built. The ship has two elevators so those in wheelchairs will be able to get up to the Main Deck area and access the museum as well as take another elevator to access the Surrender Deck.
To get here, you'll enter the main entrance to Pearl Harbor, buy tickets, and then board a shuttle bus which is located behind the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park (look for the Navy rockets and the bus stop will be to the right). The bus will take you across the bridge to Ford Island where the ship is moored.
Tickets to board the Battleship Missouri, or "Mighty Mo" as it's called, come in a few different packages, and apparently anyone 13 or older is considered an adult when it comes to ticket prices:
Mighty Mo Pass
Ticket price for general admission to the Might Mo is $25 per adult and $13 for kids 4-12. This will include your choice of taking a guided tour (35 minutes), an audio tour (120 minutes), a video tour (60-90 minutes), or a self guided tour.
Heart Of The Missouri Tour
This is a more in-depth guided tour that really lets you get all around the ship while learning about the history of the ship as well as how the various bits of it function. You'll get some hands on time with the buttons and knobs as well. Adult tickets are $50 and kid tickets are $25 ages 10-12.
Passport To Pearl Harbor
For $65 per adult and $35 per kid 4-12 you'll get the passport tickets which give you the Mighty Mo Pass options listed above as well as access to the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor and the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park.
Once aboard the massive ship you'll be able to join one of the guided tours or just walk around on your own. If you're interested in the details and history you may get the most out of the tour while others will prefer to explore on their own and at their own pace rather than being stuck with a big group of people.
You'll be surprised at just how large this thing is! Even with many portions of the ship that you are not allowed to go into there is still a ton of walking you'll do here. It's not claustrophobic like the Bowfin is (see USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park), but there are plenty of places with steep stairs and plenty of hatches you walk through that require stepping over so you'll want to be comfortable walking around and climbing ladder like stairs.
You'll get a very good idea of what ship life was like back in the WWII days (without the all the bad bits of course) and it's really fun to explore but the fun may not last long for everyone. Pretty quick you realize that every room you walk into is just more of the same. Kitchen, dining hall, sleeping bunks, office rooms. Rinse, repeat.
The upper decks are neat to see as is the Surrender Deck where the Japanese signed the official surrender documents. The big guns are impressive up close. If you love this kind of stuff you could probably spend hours here, for everyone else...well, not so much.
Should you bring kids? If your kids don't mind a lot of walking and love military stuff like this I'm sure they'll have fun if you keep it under an hour. What I saw constantly were kids doing the usual "Come on mom, you said we were done 30 minutes ago" and "Dad, I'm hungry, can we go yet" and on and on.
If you get hungry or need a snack for the kids you'll be able to order up some eats from Sliders Grill or Wai Momi Shave Ice which are located right near the entrance to the ship.

Report of the Australian Rotavirus Surveillance Program, 2003-04
This article contains the annual report for the 2003-04 rotavirus surveillance program in Australia. It describes the serotypes of rotavirus strains responsible for the hospitalisation of children with acute gastroenteritis.
Carl Kirkwood,1 Nada Bogdanovic-Sakran, Ruth Bishop AO, Graeme Barnes
National Rotavirus Reference Centre
Introduction | Methods | Results | Discussion | Acknowledgements | References
The National Rotavirus Reference Centre together with collaborating laboratories Australia-wide has conducted rotavirus surveillance since June 1999. This report describes the serotypes of rotavirus strains responsible for the hospitalisation of children with acute gastroenteritis during the period 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004. We examined 688 faecal samples using monoclonal antibody immunoassays, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and polyacrylamide gel analysis. This revealed that serotype G1 has re-emerged as the major serotype nationally, representing 40 per cent of all strains, followed by serotype G3 (25.7%) serotype G2 (17.1%) and serotype G9 (11.7%). However, there is substantial geographic variation in the prevalence of rotavirus serotypes. These findings have implications for vaccine development strategies which have targeted prevention of disease due to serotypes G1– G4. Commun Dis Intell2004;28:481– 485.
Group A rotaviruses are the single most important cause of severe gastroenteritis in young children worldwide. An estimated 400,000– 500,000 children die annually of severe diarrhoea, however few deaths occur in developed countries.1 Rotavirus induced disease accounts for between 25– 50 per cent of all hospitalisations for diarrhoea, with 10,000 Australian children hospitalised each year.2 There is wide acceptance of the need for a vaccine to prevent rotavirus disease in children under five years of age throughout the world, with several vaccines under development. National rotavirus surveillance provides an understanding of the epidemiology of rotavirus in Australia, an important component for success in vaccine development and implementation.
The previous rotavirus surveillance report from the National Rotavirus Surveillance Program, covering the period July 2002–June 2003, highlighted the potential importance of uncommon serotypes such as serotype G9. Serotype G9 was first described in Australia in 19973 and since then has steadily increased in prevalence to become the dominant serotype nationally during the 2002/2003 period, representing 74.7 per cent of samples.4 This was the first time since surveillance began in 1993, that serotype G1 was not the dominant type in Australia.
The surveillance and characterisation of rotavirus strains causing annual epidemics of severe diarrhoea in young children in Australia continues to be undertaken by the National Rotavirus Reference Centre in Melbourne, together with seven collaborating centres. In this report we describe the results of the Australian Rotavirus Surveillance program for the period 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004, and identify the geographic distribution of the predominant rotavirus serotypes.
Rotavirus detection was undertaken by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or latex agglutination in collaborating laboratories. Rotavirus positive specimens were collected, stored frozen and forwarded to Melbourne, together with relevant age and sex details. Specimens were then tested using an in-house monoclonal antibody (MAb) based serotyping EIA. The EIA employed a panel of MAbs specific for the major glycoprotein VP7 of the outer capsid of the five major group A human rotavirus serotypes (G1, G2, G3, G4 and G9).5 Strains which could not be assigned a serotype were genotyped by reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) using serotype specific oligonucleotide primers.6 Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was used to classify rotavirus strains genetically into electropherotypes and to confirm the sharing of the same electropherotype between collaborating centres.
Number of isolates
Six hundred and eighty-eight specimens were received for analysis from Melbourne and the collaborating centres in Western Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales. During the sampling period, no samples were collected from South Australia, Queensland or Tasmania. Collections in those states resumed in the financial year beginning July 2004. A total of 608 specimens were confirmed as rotavirus positive using our in-house EIA assay. Specimens containing insufficient specimen for testing (n=29) or specimens that were not confirmed to be positive for rotavirus (n=51) were not analysed further.
The overall age distribution of the children with acute gastroenteritis was typical of rotavirus infection (see Figure). In the reporting period, 42.5 per cent of cases were from infants 12 months of age or less, 29.5 per cent were from patients 13– 24 months of age, and 11.2 per cent were from patients 25– 36 months of age. Overall, 83.3 per cent of samples were from children three years or less, and 92 per cent were from children five years or less. When the age distribution was broken down according to serotypes, patients aged more than 12 months were significantly more likely to have a serotype G3 infection (69.9%) than infants aged less than 12 months of age (30.1% X2 = 11.87, P<0.001, Figure).
Figure. Age distribution versus infecting serotype
Slightly more male children than female were admitted to hospital during the year, (male to female ratio 1.3:1).
Serotype distribution
The rotavirus serotypes identified in Australia from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004 are shown in the Table. Serotype G1 was the most common type identified, representing 40 per cent of all specimens. It was the dominant strain in only two centres (Melbourne and Sydney), and was identified in six of the seven centres. Serotype G3 was the second most common serotype nationally and represented 25.7 per cent of specimens over all. It was identified in four centres and was the dominant type in Perth and Western Australian Path centre The two Western Australian centres represent different geographic locations, one urban (Perth) and one remote, north western Western Australia (WA Path Centre). Serotype G2 was identified in three centres and represented 17.1 per cent of all specimens. It was the dominant type in Alice Springs. Serotype G9 was the third most common serotype and represented 11.7 per cent of all specimens. It was identified in all seven centres, but, was the dominant type in only two centres (Darwin and Gove). A single serotype G4 isolate was identified in Melbourne.
During the reporting period, 1.3 per cent of the rotavirus samples analysed contained multiple serotypes, and in 4.1 per cent of the samples a serotype was not identified. The latter could be samples with virus numbers below the detection limits of our assays. Alternatively, these could represent unusual serotypes not identified using standard methods. For example, we identified five specimens from Alice Springs which exhibited a super short RNA electropherotype but were not typeable. Future studies will include further characterisation of the genes encoding the outer capsid proteins of these strains.

National rotavirus surveillance from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 was highlighted by the finding that serotypes G1, G2, G3 and G9 were each the dominant type in at least one of the collaborating centres.
Serotype G1 was the dominant serotype nationally comprising 40 per cent of all strains. This replaced serotype G9, which was the dominant strain nationally for the previous two years.4 Serotype G9 persisted as the dominant strain in Darwin, but not elsewhere in Australia. Serotype G1, G2 and G3 were the common types in other centres. Serotype G1 was identified in six centres and was the dominant type in Melbourne and Sydney and the second most common serotype in two other centres Perth and WA Path centre. The re-emergence of serotype G1 as the dominant strain reinforces the importance of this serotype. G1 was the dominant serotype in surveys conducted in Australia from 1993 to 19967, and during the 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 surveys.8,9 These findings are supported by epidemiological studies conducted throughout the world which have continued to identify serotype G1 as the dominant serotype.10– 14
The decline in prevalence of serotype G9 has been as dramatic as its emergence. Serotype G9 was first identified during Australia-wide surveillance in 1997,3 and became the second most prevalent serotype nationally during the 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 surveys, representing 10 per cent and 18.1 per cent respectively of specimens collected in those years.8,9 G9 became the dominant strain nationally in 2001/2002, comprising 40 per cent of the strains15 and 2002/2003 comprising 74.7 per cent.4 However, during the current survey, G9 while present in each centre, represented only 11.7 per cent of all strains. The decline in the prevalence of G9 strains around Australia in 2003/2004 was associated with an increase in the prevalence of G1 and G3 strains.
The increase in prevalence of serotype G3 in Australia has been dramatic. During the four previous surveys conducted Australia-wide, (1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2001/2002 and 2002/2003) serotype G3 represented less that two per cent of all strains. However during this survey, the prevalence of serotype G3 has increased to 25.7 per cent and was the dominant strain in West Australia. The high prevalence of G3 in Australia is remarkable when compared with the low prevalence rates of this serotype reported in other countries.10– 14 Interestingly, the emergence of serotype G3 has also been recently identified in two regions (Qinhuangdao and Zheng zhou) in a recent study from China,16 and represented 45 and 80 per cent of isolates from each region. Whether these G3 strains move eastward from WA to Sydney and Melbourne, and have an Australia-wide impact similar to serotype G9, will be followed with interest during the next rotavirus season. The increase in prevalence of serotype G3 appears to have been associated with changes in the age distribution of children infected with rotavirus, when compared to non-G3 strains. While the majority of children (87%) infected with rotavirus were under three years of age, the G3 strains infected children aged 13– 24 months more frequently than children aged 12 months or less (p<0.001). In contrast, over 50 per cent of the children infected with the other rotavirus serotypes were under 12 months of age. This data suggests that pre-existing antibodies may not protect against subsequent severe re-infection with the serotype G3 strain.
An outbreak of severe gastroenteritis again swept through Alice Springs in Central Australia causing a major impact on health care facilities in January 2004. Serotype G2 was responsible for this year's outbreak. The previous G2 outbreak in Alice Springs in 1993, was shown to be due to an unusual G2 strain derived by reassortment between subgroup I and subgroup II human strains.17 The 2004 strain possessed the standard short pattern electropherotype and subgroup I antigenicity. Serotype G2 strains have previously been responsible for intermittent epidemics in several of the other centers during the past 12 years, including in Perth in 1993, Melbourne in 1994, and Sydney in 2001.7,9
These results together with those of previous years highlight the continuing change in the prevalence and emergence of new rotavirus serotypes. Multi-centre surveillance of rotavirus is important to continue to monitor strains in Australia. These results contribute to worldwide knowledge of rotavirus epidemiology and essential to inform the development of new rotavirus vaccines.
The Rotavirus Surveillance program is supported by grants from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, GlaxoSmithKline and CSL. Dr Kirkwood is supported by The Phillip Bushell Research Fellowship awarded by the Gastroenterological Society of Australia.
Rotavirus positives were collected from numerous centres throughout Australia.

Australian Police Scramble to Protect Citizens After Apple Maps Hopelessly Strands Users in Wilderness
By Andrew Tufts, on Monday, December 10, 2012
When Apple Maps came out, everybody on the internet got a good laugh at Apple's expense. Sure, some cities were in the ocean and freeway overpasses were in hopeless disarray, but at least nobody was killed, right?
Well, according to Australian police, tourists headed to the town of Mildura, Victoria are very fortunate that they all survived the iOS 6 Apple Maps catastrophe of 2012.
The Mildura Police Department issued a press release on December 10 warning motorists to be careful when relying on iOS 6's native mapping software. Ever since iOS 6 was released, Mildura police officers have been forced to rescue a number of motorists who have become stranded in the middle of Murray-Sunset National Park.
Although Murray-Sunset National Park is about 70km away from the city of Mildura, Apple Maps lists it as directly in the middle of the park. Motorists drive into the park expecting to find a comfortable rest stop, food, shelter, and water nearby, only to drive through the middle of the park and find nothing of the sort.
The problem with Murray-Sunset National Park is that it's very isolated. There is no water in the park, and as summer temperatures arrive, the heat can hit 46 degrees Celsius. Lives are being put in danger, and police claim that they've had to rescue people who survived for up to 24 hours with no food or water.
To make matters worse, the Park doesn't have cell service, which means motorists have to hike "long distances through dangerous terrain to get phone reception."
Mildura Police Department contacts Apple HQ
The issue is so serious that Mildura Police Department has contacted Apple and told them to fix the problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before Apple Maps quite literally kills someone.
As the Mildura press release states:
"Anyone travelling to Mildura or other locations within Victoria should rely on other forms of mapping until this matter is rectified."
Probably good advice.

At last an outing to Hollow Mountain!
There are a number of mountains in Scotland that I have long hankered to do but have had to put off due to the vagaries of our lovely weather. Ben Cruachan is/was one such mountain that I have been trying to save for a good day and today was my window of opportunity.
I had decided the day before, I would decamp to Oban to get some work done and then head to Cruachan in the afternoon when the Met Office were forecasting an appearance from the big yellow thing with 'E' visibility.
At around 3pm with the laptop firmly shut and my phone set into airplane mode – bliss , I jumped into my mountain chariot. About 20 minutes later I arrived at the lay-by close to Falls of Cruachan on the A85 for the start of the walk. It was sunny and warm – just what the doctor ordered . After a quick change and scaring of the locals , I was off up the track like a man possessed to the wee tunnel under the railway line.
Whilst I had read countless reports on this one, I wasn't quite expecting the initial approach route up to the dam. This turned out to be Jungle Flirtation Part 2 for me. I had experienced Part 1 the day before on Beinn Bhuidhe; I wasn't quite expecting another one so soon after.
After about 20 minutes of scrambling, extricating myself from brambles and ferns, limbo dancing under fallen branches and swatting countless large flies which clearly liked my legs, I made it to the stile at the fence line where the views start to open up in front of you; the huge wall dam and behind you Loch Awe.
Usually I have no problems with stiles, but as soon I climbed on this one, it decided to 'move' uprooting itself from its fixed position and started to lean which meant a quick correction on my part to try and get balance. A little shaken, I opted to quickly step over the wire and jump down .
The route up to the impressive dam wall is fairly straightforward.
Once you reach the dam wall, you head up the zigzags and then up the ladder. I was wondering whilst climbing up, how the hell do people get their dogs up here. The idea of me clinging on with a big mut under one arm, nah, can't see it happening. The view of the grandiose amphitheatre that is Coire Cruachan is superb.
The walk from here on along the side of the reservoir is fairly easy going on a good track and I was able to make good progress up until the burn where you turn up to Coire Dearg between Cruachan and Meall Cuanail. Here you have 2 options. I opted to go over the small bridge and head up on the right hand side of the burn as it was supposedly less boggy. It was here I encountered the first walkers of the day descending in the opposite direction.
It didn't take me too long to get up the glen/coire to the bealach. The sun was still shining as I made my way up thru initially stony ground then across and up the boulder field. It's here the views of Taynuilt Peak (Stob Dearg) to the left of Cruachan come into view.
Over to the right the ridge to Stob Daimh comes into view, in particular the bad step.
The final climb up to the summit is over large boulders.
The way up. Note the 2 people at the top.
The views from the top of Cruachan are impressive in ALL directions.
I didn't find the bad step any particular challenge and en route took in the mid peak, Drochaid Glas. Where you get impressive views back to Cruachan and Taynuilt peak.
The rocky descent down to the bealach between Drochaid Glas and Stob Daimh was steepish in places but didn't cause me any great concerns. I can imagine in icy winter conditions this could present a challenge.
After Stob Daimh you head over Stob Garbh and follow a path of sorts down to the bealach by Lairig Torran. Once you start to drop down you lose the path before picking it up again roughly three quarters of the way down to the dam. By now the water was looking very inviting and was shimmering in the evening light. In places, the path was extremely boggy, slippy and badly eroded, which meant I had to climb up and contour around to avoid the worse.
The descent down the side of the dam wall and direct route to the stile and down through the jungle was quick and pretty uneventful. I got back to the car just after 7pm.
These are special hills that definitely deserve plenty more time and I will be back to do them again in their full glory in summer and winter.
Re: At last an outing to Hollow Mountain!
It looked like it was well worth the wait for this one Hugh, great weather makes it so much better.
That looked really good Hugh but having just removed a tick from my arm I might just wait till the jungle disappears.
Great views, Hugh, well captured.
Nice one Hugh, and just like you told it down in Wales!
I too remember the first section from the A85 up to the dam.
Probably the most stiflingly hot I've ever felt on a hill. The lower section of the Nevis path can be similar. But not as hot.
I ,as usual, did the Horseshoe the wrong way round .I only actually went up to see the damn,but then thought;hmm ..why not.
Must do this pair again.
I remember the jungle and stile very well ! Ben Cruachan is such an awesome hill, I too will be back for it.


When car shopping, it is vital to have good information if you are to make a sound decision instead of leaping into a deal you will regret. Using the tips this article has provided you with, will leave you pleased with your purchase. They will make the entire experience much better.

Q: MariaDB configuration changes don't take effect The server is working on CentOS 8, I'm trying to configure MariaDB by making alterations to /etc/my.cnf but then when I restart DB by doing sudo systemctl restart mariadb, the server does restart but no configuration changes get applied.
mysql > SHOW VARIABLES;
It outputs the same values. I tried to comment out the including directive #!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d and to add settings to [mysqld] and [mariadb] sections.
mysql --verbose --help says:
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf.
The following groups are read: mysql client client-server client-mariadb

A: Check whether mysql uses the config file debugging it with strace:
sudo strace mysql

In the strace output, look for lines like:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/my.cnf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = ...

Make sure openat doesn't return -1. In that case check whether the file exists or mysql has enough permissions to read the file.

A: When adding additional configuration files, make sure that they are not writable by 'other'. Otherwise you'll have a message on mysql startup like:

Warning: World-writable config file '/etc/mysql/conf.d/myproject.cnf' is ignored

and the configuration does not get applied.

The European Socialization of America – Cap and Trade
This week from Americans for Prosperity –
"Cap-and-trade is a way to impose a massive energy tax and pretend it's not a tax. It puts a cap on overall greenhouse gas emissions, and establishes a market for companies to buy and sell the permits. In Obama's version, the permits would all be auctioned off and the hundreds of billions of dollars would be used to fund higher government spending."
"The so-called cap-and-trade energy tax would, according to the president himself, force energy prices to go way up. In an unguarded moment, speaking to The San Francisco Chronicle last year, Obama said: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket… they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."
"And what do we buy, environmentally, with this enormous hit to the economy? Basically, nothing. Cap and trade is already failing to reduce emissions in Europe. And even if emissions targets are met, climate models show that the reductions would have no detectable impact on global average temperatures. That's why leading climate alarmists have hailed a Kyoto-style cap-and-trade regime as just the first step of 30 to curb global economic activity. There's never a good time to embark down such a path, but it seems particularly hare-brained during an economic crisis."

Droga wojewódzka nr 451 (DW451) – droga wojewódzka o długości 33 km w południowo-zachodniej części Polski na Dolnym Śląsku i Opolszczyźnie. Przebiega przez powiaty: oleśnicki i namysłowski. Łączy drogę ekspresową S8 (E67) pod Oleśnicą z drogą krajową nr 39 w Namysłowie.

Historia numeracji
Na przestrzeni lat trasa posiadała różne oznaczenia i kategorie:

Dopuszczalny nacisk na oś
Od 13 marca 2021 roku na drodze dozwolony jest ruch pojazdów o nacisku pojedynczej osi napędowej do 11,5 tony z wyjątkiem określonych miejsc oznaczonych znakiem zakazu B-19.

Do 13 marca 2021 r.
W latach 2012 – 2021 obowiązywały ograniczenia ruchu ciężkiego – dopuszczalny był ruch pojazdów o nacisku na oś nie przekraczającym 8 ton. Wcześniej na całej długości trasy dozwolony był ruch ciężki o nacisku na oś do 10 ton.

Miejscowości leżące przy trasie DW451
 Oleśnica (S8 E67, DW340)
 Solniki Wielkie

Iran is an important country because it has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and it sits in a strategic position between Northeastern Asia, Western Asia and North Africa. Iran borders the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Arabic Sea.
Iran is a large country, with intimidating mountain ranges, barren deserts and dense forests. Cheetahs and other large cats once roamed here, although many are now rare or even extinct. Iran – previously Persia – includes some of the oldest civilizations on Earth. The city, Susa, was built over 5,000 years ago.
Over the centuries, the country has been invaded and conquered by many groups, including Persians, Greeks, Great Britain and Russia. In 1921, a Persian army officer took control and ousted foreign control. He became the first "shah" and changed the country's name to Iran. Since 1979, religious leaders known as mullahs have ruled Iran.
