Usually, I sleep for seven to eight hours every night in order to let my body relax. But if I want to do something very important at night, I could, at a push, sleep for less than four hours.
Yes, I believe that after having lunch at noon, it's beneficial to take a nap; half an hour's snooze would be enough, to brace oneself for the tasks of the afternoon.
Yes, I guess elderly people do need to sleep more. I believe the reason is that after years of working and stress the natural process breaks down a person's body until all they want to do is sleep; consequently, their bodies take longer to recharge their batteries.
I believe you have to follow several rules to get regular good nights sleep. Firstly, go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don't toss and turn. Also, make sure your bed is comfortable so that you can stretch and turn in bed. As well as that, stay away from big meals at night or try to make dinnertime earlier in the evening, and avoid heavy, rich foods before bed.
Yes, getting up early in the morning is really beneficial for our health, because we can enjoy the fresh air in the morning; besides we have plenty of time to do some physical exercises liking running and jogging. In the morning I can also prepare a good dinner for the family.

Residents can now pay their taxes online
By Chris Maza
Reminder Assistant Editor
WILBRAHAM -- With the new real estate tax bills going out, the town of Wilbraham will be offering a paperless option for paying tax bills online.
According to Tax Col-lector/Treasurer Thomas Sullivan, effective Dec. 27, a link will be available on the town's Web site -- http://www.wilbraham-ma.gov -- through which residents can make payments on current tax bills.
"Right now, we have an option for paying real estate tax bills where residents can come in and sign up for ACH (Automated Clearing House), which will take the money directly out of your bank account," Sullivan explained. "Now we're offering a service on our Web site that allows them to sign up for ACH themselves."
He added that the Web site also includes an option to pay the bill with a credit card.
ACH payment of tax bills is free of charge, while credit card payments have a processing fee associated with them.
According to the town's Web site, using this program, in addition to being better for the environment because it requires less paper, is beneficial for residents because of the speedy nature of the transaction.
The site states that a resident should not elect to go through his or her bank's online payment method, mostly because the bank's system is not, in fact, paperless as the bank will cut a paper check and send it to the town, which can take seven to 10 days.
The town's new system does not require a paper check and usually takes between three and five business days to process.
Payment can still be made by visiting or mailing checks Town Hall at 240 Springfield Street.
This service is available for current tax bills for fiscal year 2011 only. Residents cannot pay late tax bills via the Internet.
"The number on your tax bill [which is required to pay a bill online] does not show back due interest," Sullivan said.


PESHAWAR (BNA) Fifteen militants were killed on Saturday in a clash with security forces in Khyber Agency, the military's public relations wing said.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), approximately 30-35 militants attacked a security forces check post in Khyber Agency's Tirah Valley, but attack was foiled through "effective retaliation".
Three security personnel sustained injuries in the clash.
Security forces seized 10 bodies of the militants, along with arms and ammunition, the ISPR said. However, this information could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive agency.
Khyber is one of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous regions governed by tribal laws and lies near the Afghan border. The Taliban and other Al Qaeda-linked groups who stage attacks in both Pakistan and Afghanistan are also known to have strongholds in the zone.


There's a Facebook page to "bring back the scenes of Piri Weepu bottle-feeding his baby" and with over 2,000 "likes," it would seem that some of the public is in agreement: there's nothing bad about a bottle-feedin' dad.
And as many commenters on the Facebook page mention, there very well could have been breastmilk in that bottle.
Now, I understand sticking to your guns, so I can't just pass this issue off and say "aren't there bigger things to be worried about?" But, what I will say, echoed in so many other criticisms of this commercial, is that with all the fighting women have had to do just to breastfeed in public, shouldn't we lay off a little when a man's feeding the baby? We, as a world, need to be celebrating involved fathers who opt to feed their kids when mom's not able or around.
* – unless you're Huggies, in which case, you show fathers bottle-feeding and refer to it as "the ultimate test," insinuating that dads are going to screw it up.
We joke around in our home that when I get tired of doing it, dad wishes he had a breast. He helped out many times when our daughter was an infant with bottle feeding. I understand the criticism that women get for breastfeeding in public, but we should be happy that there are dad's who are more than willing to help out when mom's need a bit of a break. Because we are not superwomen and we do need help (I fail at asking for help most of the time) but luckily dad sees it and jumps into help out with monitoring her while she is eating (14 months), baths, and just when I need to get things done. As for the Huggies ad, let's just say I still can't put those damn things on and already bought a potty. Dad's pamper process is better than mine. I hardly ever put papmpers on my nephew and wouldn't touch the messy ones at all. So my pamper skills are horrible. I had to watch video and read a book of how to do that and everything else. So for the ad to assume that the real test is when Dad's have to take over misses a big mark with first time mother's like me.

China's new Foreign Investment Law, effective January 1, 2020, represents a fundamental shift in the foreign investment landscape for China, affecting not only all new foreign-investment enterprises going forward but also all 500,000+ existing FIEs. To provide practical insights on how to navigate this new legal environment, Robert Lewis, Senior International Counsel at Zhong Lun Law Firm in Beijing, will provide a detailed assessment of the impact of the new rules. Mr. Lewis was qualified in California in 1985 and, after working with a top national firm in Los Angeles for several years, he moved to China, where he has worked in top US, UK and Chinese law firms since 1993.

Asia's Reckoning: China, Japan, and the Fate of U.S. Power in the Pacific Century, featuring: Richard McGregor, former Beijing and Washington Bureau Chief, Financial Times
Richard McGregor
Former Beijing and Washington Bureau Chief
Richard McGregor's Asia's Reckoning is a compelling account of the widening geopolitical cracks in a region that has flourished under an American security umbrella for more than half a century. The toxic rivalry between China and Japan, two Asian giants consumed with endless history wars and ruled by entrenched political dynasties, is threatening to upend the peace underwritten by Pax Americana since World War II. Combined with Donald Trump's disdain for America's old alliances and China's own regional ambitions, East Asia is entering a new era of instability and conflict. If the United States laid the postwar foundations for modern Asia, now the anchor of the global economy, Asia's Reckoning reveals how that structure is falling apart.
Legal Advocacy as Liberal Resistance: The Experience of China's Human Rights Lawyers, featuring Dr. Eva Pils
Dr. Eva Pils
Reader in Transnational Law, Dickson Poon School of Law
China's human rights lawyers insist that the Party-State follow the law in all cases, including those deemed 'sensitive' by the authorities. For years, rights lawyers have faced a repressive system that views rights advocacy as an act of subversion. In the Xi Jinping era, the contrast between their liberal outlook and the authoritarian system has become sharper, and rights defenders are now increasingly treated as enemies. As they engage in legal resistance, these lawyers test the boundaries of the right of resistance as a human right.

Knowing about RESPs is essential to getting the most out of such plans.
The children that the plans benefit are referred to as beneficiaries. Those that open the plan and contribute to it for the duration of the plan are referred to as subscribers.
Although the beneficiaries of RESPs are usually the children of plan subscribers, they may also be other adults or even the subscriber himself.
Payments to beneficiaries usually begin when the child enrolls in post-secondary education. These usually come in the form of educational assistance payments or EAPs.
EAPs themselves may consist solely of investment earnings from subscriber contributions, or they may be a combination of personal contributions and funds from government grants.
Funds saved up in RESPs are tax free. As long as the funds remain in the plan, they are not subject to taxes.
If the plan beneficiary is aged 17 years old or younger, the federal government also contributes to the fund. Government contributions come in the form of grants or bonds. In certain provinces, the local government may also contribute funds into Heritage RESPs.
Some plans allow subscribers to place money whenever they want, in whatever amount. These are typically limited to a maximum of $50,000 for the lifetime of the beneficiary. However, there are some plans that require subscribers to make contributions monthly or annually.
Although contributions are not tax deductible, the funds can be withdrawn from the RESP at any time for whatever reason. In these instances, the funds will not be subject to taxes.
Depending on the type of RESP you sign up for, you may have a choice in how you can invest the funds. With some plans, the decision on where to invest your money is made for you.
RESP beneficiaries can use the money in the plan when they enroll in college or university. The funds may also be used to pay for certain approved education programs.
RESP typically remain open for as long as 36 years. In some cases, they may even be allowed to remain open for as long as 40 years, subject to eligibility for disability tax credit.
RESPs are typically offered by financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, and investment firms, or scholarship plan dealers.

Senate HELP Committee Hears Update on NIH Cures Implementation
Posted on September 4, 2018 by COSSA
On August 23, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee held an oversight hearing featuring leadership from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The hearing, Prioritizing Cures: Science and Stewardship at the National Institutes of Health, was chaired by HELP Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and included testimony from NIH Director Francis Collins. Dr. Collins was joined by Diana Bianchi, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD); Anthony Fauci, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); Richard Hodes, National Institute on Aging (NIA); and Norman Sharpless, National Cancer Institute (NCI). A similar hearing was held in the House in July.
In his opening statement, Chairman Alexander acknowledged the continued enthusiastic, bipartisan support for NIH, evidenced by the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016 and by substantial budgetary increases provided to the agency over the last four years (see COSSA's funding analysis for details). He further stated, "It's hard to think of a major scientific advancement since World War II that has not been supported by federal research funding. But we're not the only country that's figured that out. Other countries have seen that investments in basic research can lead to breathtaking new discoveries," pointing specifically to China.
Chairman Alexander raised concern about reports that some federally funded research is being conducted by "bad actor" foreign nationals who may be trying to assert undue foreign influence on NIH research. Dr. Collins explained that through an internal investigation, NIH found that the risks to the security of intellectual property and the integrity of the peer review process are increasing in magnitude. In response, Dr. Collins recently wrote to 10,000 NIH grantee institutions requesting that they "review their records for evidence of malfeasance," specifically: (1) failure by researchers to disclose substantial contributions of resources from other organizations, including foreign governments; (2) diversion of intellectual property to other entities, including foreign governments; and (3) failure by some peer reviewers to keep grant applications confidential or other attempts to influence funding decisions. In addition, Dr. Collins has formed a Working Group on Foreign Influences on Research Integrity, which will continue to look at these challenges.
Dr. Collins used his prepared remarks to highlight NIH advancements made possible with the infusion of new funds from the 21st Century Cures Act. He outlined what he called the five keys to success in science today. They include: (1) a stable trajectory of support (i.e. funding); (2) a vibrant workforce (e.g. training programs); (3) computational power, which is enabling activities like the BRAIN initiative and the All of Us Precision Medicine Initiative; (4) new technologies and facilities; and (5) scientific inspiration.
Of particular interest to the social and behavioral science community, Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) asked about whether our society is becoming addicted to technology and about the public health effects of social networking, citing findings from a recent study on daily use of technology and social media among teens (Psychology of Popular Media Culture, APA). Senator Bennet called for more priority to be placed on research in these areas and asked what NIH is doing in this space. Dr. Collins cited the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, which will follow 10,000 children ages 9-10 into early adulthood, studying brain, social, cognitive and emotional development and the factors that influence them. The issue of "screen time" is among the factors to be studied. In addition, Dr. Bianchi mentioned a recent NICHD workshop looking at new research directions in these areas, including early childhood language development, reading comprehension, parent-child interactions, and technology addiction.
Other Senators asked questions on a variety of specific diseases and topics of interest to them, including opioid and other addictions, the societal costs of obesity, development of a universal flu vaccine, maternal health, and bolstering researchers from underrepresented groups.
Dr. Collins' testimony and a video of the hearing can be found on the HELP Committee website.

The small EU Mediterranean state of Malta is one of the most densely populated in the world. The narrow chequerboard streets, the imposing walls, the deep moats and the surrounding forts are still an integral part of the urban landscape today. But the little island state has hit the headlines recently as a result of corruption allegations, and the murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.


Read previous publications so you know the caliber and kind of work that is accepted. Ask your Chapter Advisor for a copy of The Sigma Tau Delta Review or The Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle and/or find a few samples online.
Ask your professors, advisors, and mentors for their opinion on what pieces would be best for you to submit.
Have multiple people edit your work for both form and content; be sure to do careful, final copyediting.
Follow the instructions carefully when submitting your work online so that you are not eliminated for an incomplete or faulty submission. Remember, only currently-enrolled undergraduate and graduate members of active Sigma Tau Delta chapters may submit their work. Chapter Advisors, faculty members, alumni (including members of the Alumni Epsilon chapter), and honorary members are not eligible to submit.
The title does not indicate the seriousness of the piece. Have you included: 1) author's name; 2) work; 3) key terms that gesture toward the core argument and do so in a compelling, catchy fashion?
The opening paragraphs do not set up the argument. Are you forcing your reader to hunt in "Where's Waldo" fashion through several pages for your main claim?
The submission is a five-page close reading with no external sources or argumentative analysis. Just as bad are essays that make general claims about major themes rather than advancing a specific, concrete argument. Neither kind of paper is likely to be published.
The submission pairs authors with no clear connection between them; this includes compare and contrast essays, a kind of essay rarely written in the field at large except as a longer study.
The submission forces an external theory wholesale onto a text without qualifying or nuancing the theory.
The submission uses theoretical terms and movements with little understanding of them.
The submission addresses canonical texts, but makes an argument that does not help us see that text (about which much has been written) in a new way.
The submission has no works cited.
The submission was written for a private audience without benefit of feedback, peer review, or workshopping. Seek out feedback from several reliable sources for submissions that have not otherwise been thoroughly reviewed in classes or workshops.
The submission has inconsistencies, both large and small, in story elements (character, setting, plot, point of view), tense structure, and/or mechanics that clearly work against it.
The submission is a single poem; if you are submitting poetry, submit several poems rather than just one to allow readers to get a better sense of your work.
When will I be notified about my submission?
The publication review cycle runs from May-August. We typically notify authors in August about acceptance or rejection.
When do the journals get published?
The journals typically come out in March of the following year.
If accepted, is my piece copyrighted by Sigma Tau Delta?
As with other professional journals, the Sigma Tau Delta publications copyright your piece so that if you publish it elsewhere it must be acknowledged as appearing in these publications first. We accept only original material.
Will I be able to read my piece at the Sigma Tau Delta annual convention?
Yes, if your work is accepted in the Sigma Tau Delta Rectangle, you will be invited to read at the convention. Otherwise, you will need to apply to present at the convention.
Is there a relationship between the publications and the convention?
In terms of judging, no. Hypothetically, a piece accepted for the convention might be rejected by the journals or vice versa. There are different sets of judges and different criteria for acceptance for the two entities.

text: Q: How do I implement "sloppy swiping" to allow the iOS sliding pop gesture to work from the middle and not just the edge? In iOS 7 and later you can pull from the left side of the screen to the right to pop back to the previous view controller, but it only works from the side of the screen. Josh Ginter wrote about sloppy swiping, but I'm confused how one would actually implement it and I can't seem to find any resources out there about it.

The price of oil fell slightly Monday, after a report showed a fourth month of contraction in China's manufacturing sector.
The price of oil fell below $100 a barrel for the first time in three weeks Wednesday as reports showed U.S. economic growth stalled in the first quarter and oil supplies in the U.S. rose to record levels last week.
The price of oil dropped below $101 per barrel Friday after disappointing earnings in the U.S. prompted declines in the stock market.
The price of oil rose to a five-week high Wednesday amid unrest in eastern Ukraine, even as a report showed a large rise in U.S. crude oil supplies.
The price of oil rose slightly Friday and finished the week with a 2-percent gain amid signs of stronger economic growth in the U.S. and global supply concerns.

AP Macroeconomics : Tax Policy
Study concepts, example questions & explanations for AP Macroeconomics
All AP Macroeconomics Resources
88 Practice Tests Question of the Day Flashcards Learn by Concept
AP Macroeconomics Help » Tax Policy
Example Question #41 : Ap Macroeconomics
A progressive tax structure is designed in order to put more of the tax burden on _______.
sales tax instead of income tax
wealthier individuals instead of poorer individuals
individual income instead of corporate profits
corporate profits instead of individual income
poorer individuals instead of wealthier individuals
A progressive tax system is so-called because, as a person or corporation makes more money, the overall tax burden as a percent of income gets progressively higher. A progressive tax seeks to produce more government revenue from those individuals who are perceived as being more able to bear the burden. Progressive taxation is usually popular politically, making it such a widespread form of taxation.
A tax credit describes an element of tax policy that ________.
allows for an additional tax on goods deemed unseemly
reduces taxes for people who qualify under certain circumstances
allows for an additional tax on specific kinds of income, such as gambling
only allows exemptions for people making under a certain income level per year
raises money on investment income
Tax law includes small exemptions and refunds, which are known as tax credits. Often, these tax credits are provided for groups of people like homebuyers, parents, and students. Tax credits are also usually seen as a way to lighten specific tax burdens without rewriting or transforming tax policy.
Example Question #1 : Tax Policy
In order, the four phases of the business cycle are:
expansion, peak, contraction, and trough
peak, contraction, expansion, and trough
contraction, expansion, peak, and trough
expansion, contraction, peak, and trough
The four phases of the business cycle are expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. Real GDP growth is positive during an expansion, followed by a point at which real GDP growth peaks, then begins to decline during a contraction, and finally a bottoming out at the point of the trough. Each of the other answer choices represents a distortion of this order.
If the income level in a given economy increases by $100 and spending increases by $80, the marginal propensity to save in that economy is equal to which of the following?
The marginal propensity to consume is calcuated by the change in consumption over the change in income. In this example, the marginal propensity to consume is 80/100 = 0.8. However, the problem asks for the marginal propensity to save and not the marginal propensity to consume.
In any economy, whatever money is not used for consumption is considered savings. Therefore, to find the marginal propensity to save, subtract the marginal propensity to consume from 1. Thus, 1 - 0.8 = 0.2. The marginal propensity to consume in this problem would be 0.2.
An excise tax levied by a state government on gasoline is paid to the government by __________.
the individual owners of gas stations
any individual who buys the gasoline
only individuals who buy a certain amount of gasoline
the oil company who sells the gasoline
An excise tax is an indirect tax, or one that is not paid directly by consumers, but instead by the producers of the good being taxed. Gasoline excise taxes are typically paid by the oil companies who refine, produce, and sell the gasoline, in order to offset pollution and other trandportation costs governments incur from the sale of gas. Quite often, the cost of the tax to the company is passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

78th Annual British Cemetery Ceremony
Honoring British Sailors who Sacrificed their Lives Defending American Shores
The annual British Cemetery Ceremony takes place at the small cemetery in Ocracoke Village, beautifully landscaped and manicured by the U.S. Coast Guard.
This event is organized by the Friends of the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, the Ocracoke community, the U.S. Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary 16-04, the National Park Service, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The Atlantic Ocean and East Coast was a vital shipping lane for merchant ships from various nations ferrying supplies in early 1942.
The U.S. Navy had no ships suited for anti-submarine patrol, so the United States accepted the services of the British Royal Navy to guard against German submarines.
In 1942, the Royal Navy sent 24 armed trawlers to the East Coast to aid the U.S. Navy in their anti-submarine efforts.
On May 11, 1942, U-558 fired torpedoes at the HMS Bedfordshire, causing it to sink. All 37 Royal Navy sailors were lost. The bodies of two of the crew were spotted in the surf off Ocracoke Island. Sub-Lieutenant Thomas Cunningham and Ordinary Telegraphist Second Class Craig are buried at the Ocracoke British Cemetery. Two bodies also were found in the ocean north of Ocracoke, and although never identified, were assumed to have come from the Bedfordshire, and were interred alongside their shipmates in the Ocracoke British Cemetery.
Residents and visitors are invited to pay tribute to the sailors from the HMS Bedfordshire. A reception follows the ceremony.

Linda Hildebrand
An accomplished Broadway dancer and teacher, Linda Bowen-Hildebrand's foray into dance began with a strong ballet foundation from the Montgomery Ballet School in Maryland, studying under such greats as Eugene Loring and El Gabriel. She became a company member at 12 and president at 16. She went on to graduate Cum Laude from Towson State University with a Bachelor of fine arts degree (in dance performance and choreography) where she gained a fervent work ethic and passion for artistic excellence.
Prior to Linda's Broadway career she had the rare honor to work with Chet Walker and the infamous Gwen Verdon in "The Fosse Project." Working closely with Ms. Verdon the show developed her love of the distinct "Fosse" style. In 1997 Linda's Broadway career began in New York City when she secured the role of Annie in the Tony award winning musical revival "Chicago." She went on to play the lead role of Roxie Hart in the production and performed with Bebe Nueworth, Brett Barrett, Alan Thicke, Jasmine Guy and Joel Grey during her two year run with the show. During this time Linda also found the time to perform, nurture and teach other young dancers to use their talents to foster artistic growth with "Project Dance," a Broadway dance company that seeks to impact culture positively through the arts as well as aid new professional dancers in achieving their performance goals. During her run in "Chicago" Linda was selected to represent the cast in several promotional appearances including an " Instyle" Magazine shoot featuring Alec Baldwin, and performances on TV shows including the Fox talk show "Vibe" hosted by Sinbad. Next, Linda procured the lead in the Tony award-winning Broadway production, "Fosse" and was thrilled to work with the celebrated Anne Reinking on original Bob Fosse choreography, further developing her expertise in the style. She not only starred in the show for two years, but once again represented "Fosse" via various interviews and performances across media platforms.
Linda's work with Hildebrand Chiropractic in the early 2000s served to further increase her awareness of the importance of heath and athleticism, including nutrition and proper spinal alignment. She built industry relationships with physical therapists, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, and orthopedic surgeons promoting natural lifestyles. She continues to bring her accumulated health knowledge to all of her classes, helping to create well rounded instruction.
Her teaching career continued with a move to State College, Pennsylvania where she has served for since 2011 as a ballet and jazz instructor at the prestigious Performing Arts School of Central Pennsylvania, teaching students not only how to properly execute steps, but how to perform with passion. In addition to teaching across multiple levels at the school, Linda has served as choreographer for its spring and fall productions. Since 2012 Linda has also taught ballet, lyrical and jazz to students of all ages and levels through "Lifted Hands," an organization that provides affordable dance lessons to the community while cultivating body awareness and a love of dance.
In 2013 Linda continued her dance education attending the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Teacher's Workshop under the tutelage of classical ballet's consummate instructor, Marcia Dale Weary where she not only studied Ms. Weary's proven techniques, but exchanged teaching methodologies with teachers from around the globe.
Lastly, while Linda is a gifted and highly experienced dancer, singer and actor, her love of performing and teaching has led her to encourage students in their own gifts and abilities to affect positive change in their lives through dance. She has inspired many with her dedication to her craft and her greatest hope is that her students will develop a deep-seated love for dance and their abilities to entertain and foster change for good through dance. Her passion for excellence is always apparent and her dedication to creating the best possible environment for her students to grow in a safe caring environment is her most important aspiration.

Heather also studied salsa, hustle, and swing dance through the Ballroom Dance Club and Swing Dance Club at Penn State.
In 2011, Heather resumed her ballet studies at PASCP, adding the Vaganova technique to her dance repertoire.
Heather currently serves as Artistic Director for Relevétions, the liturgical dance group at St. Paul's United Methodist Church.

Q: Isn't there any other way of doing double quotes in LaTeX besides `` +  ''? The standard way of writing quotes and double quotes in LaTeX is with `` and '', but I find them quite ugly. Isn't there something similar to \emph{}, but for quotes? I mean something like \quotes{quoted text goes here}.
I've been looking but couldn't find any, maybe you guys can.

A: You can just define your own macro:
\newcommand{\quotes}[1]{``#1''}
...
\quotes{Hello World!}

A: I think \lq and \rq might just work for single quotes. Use them twice for double-quotes.  if you have something like "this is a quote' " do this on the end
\rq\,\rq\rq.

A: The well established textcmds package provides equivalents of macro suggestions in several of the answers, in particular there is \qq for double quoted text and \q for single quoted:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{textcmds}

\begin{document}

Some \qq{quoted} material.  Another quote \q{style}.

\end{document}

A: I use this bit of code at the top of my tex file. Just use the regular double quote on your keyboard

"

at the beginning and end of each quote. It will select the open and closing double quotes for you,
\newif\ifquoteopen
    \catcode`\"=\active
    \DeclareRobustCommand*{"}{%
       \ifquoteopen
         \quoteopenfalse ''%
       \else
         \quoteopentrue ``%
       \fi
    }

A: Either with Win XP or Linux your keyboard should have those: »«. The technical term in German for Win XP is »Eingabegebietsschemaleiste«, which I cannot translate; it simply is the layout of your keyboard depending of the country.
EDIT: Following Seamus' comment, find out how to type Guillemets with your keyboard.

A: \textquotedblleft and \textquotedblright use is best

A: I use the following in all my latex documents:
\usepackage[autostyle=false, style=english]{csquotes}
\MakeOuterQuote{"}

With this, you can simply quote your text like "this", and csquotes will change it to
``this''

The drawback is that if you forget a " it messes up the parity everywhere with no warning. Also, If you need nested quotes, you will have to use \enquote{this}.

A: If you load csquotes by \usepackage{csquotes} you can use \enquote{quoted text}. The package's macros are context sensitive such that the quotation marks are adapted appropriately when nested and to the language used by babel. It also has other great features such as facilities for block quotations and integration with biblatex. Here's a simple example:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{csquotes}

\begin{document}

\enquote{quote}

\enquote*{quote}

\enquote{quote \enquote{quote in quote}}

\end{document}

A: FWIW, ConTeXt MkIV disables these "smart quotes" by default. So
\starttext
 ``a''
\stoptext

gives you exactly what you type! The recommended way of getting quotes is to type " and " (most editors give a keyboard short cut for this) or use \quotation{...}. The \quotation macro is language specific, so it gives you the correct quotes in English ("—"), French (« — »), etc.

A: If you're on Emacs there's typopunct.el, which has a number of useful functions. In buffers with typopunct-mode on, ' and " are always input as their curly versions.

From its inception, the Department of Journalism and Media Communication's trajectory has been based on the values of awareness, adaptability, and convergence. JMC was born out of the sciences and the humanities. From the start, CSU leaders charged the department with maintaining a strong research base while also providing state-of-the art communication and technology education. In combination this would supply students with the knowledge and skills to keep pace with the challenges of sharing meaningful, informative communications about increasingly complex processes. From overcoming the relatively recent challenges of the digital revolution and increasing public scrutiny of science and journalism, JMC has remained aware, adaptable, and convergent.
As the Center for Science Communication, we are here to bring the sciences and humanities back together. For a number of years, we have become increasingly aware of other efforts—on campus, in state and federal agencies, politics, the business and nonprofit world, health care, the sciences, engineering, veterinary medicine, natural resources, agriculture, and others—on the part of a growing number of researchers and practitioners to engage with science communication. Our goal is identifying ongoing science communication efforts whatever and wherever they are and making sure that all the different players in this phenomenon are aware of the efforts of others.

Are zodiac signs accurate? Read on to learn how astrology fits in to love and dating!
It may seem like an overwhelming question but it's fundamental to what we're talking about today. Are we in control of our love lives or are we at the mercy of the cosmos?
Zodiac signs are a polarizing subject. Some live their life through what the stars tell them about themselves, while others dismiss astrology completely as a pseudoscientific racket.
Newspaper horoscopes and tarot readings try to explain life's hardships and successes to us. Work, life, love and relationships, everything can be explicated by the alignment of the stars.
But is that likely or even remotely true? Can your astrological sign help you meet the person of your dreams?
Are zodiac signs accurate? Before we figure that out, let's take a look at how and why people use astrology to find love.
How Long Have We Been Using the Zodiac?
Astrology itself has been around for millennia. Searching for our meaning in the stars is inherent to being human. Studying the sky has led to important advancements in science but it's also influenced how we approach our love lives.
The concept of star-crossed lovers has been perpetuated by storytellers since, well, the beginning of storytelling. From tales of Greek gods and goddesses being cosmically attached by love to Shakespeare's tragic romances to today's romantic comedies, astrology links it all across thousands of years.
Most people associate astrology with the zodiac signs at the back of the newspaper. Matching different zodiac signs to find romantic partners has become a popular way of weeding out unsuitable partners. It's an age-old method but is it legitimate?
33% of Americans believe in astrology. The alignment of the planets has allowed astrologists to make sense of seemingly unexplainable happenings for a long time.
But that doesn't mean that it's real.
Newspaper horoscopes, for instance, can be written by anyone. They use generalizations to make people feel that something important is being surmised about their life by their birthdate.
If you follow your horoscope every day, you'll probably come across the same thing more than once. These should be taken with a grain of salt, and those horoscopes are often not written by someone who's studied astrology.
It's not all fake, though. In the same way that the ocean's tides are influenced by the positioning of the moon, other large bodies in the universe have huge effects on one another.
The sun has an effect on our mood, the moon aligns with female's menstruation cycles, so it's not unrealistic to think that we're affected by the orbits of Mars or Venus.
If you want to take the zodiac calendar seriously, then you should visit with a trained professional. Having a daily tarot card reading done is a much more meaningful experience than reading a daily horoscope.
No matter what you believe about the truths or untruths about astrology, doing a reading like this can allow you to tap into different parts of your psyche. It's important to expand your thought and examine yourself from different angles.
This may not help you find the exact right person, but it can help you discover yourself a little more and become the best person that you can be. This, in turn, will allow you to approach dating with confidence. Whatever your prospective partners' beliefs, you can approach the relationship with a high level of insight into your own habits.
There is no right or wrong way to find love. If you genuinely believe that a zodiac chart can help you meet the most suitable partner, then so be it. These days, there are increasing numbers of apps and dating sites that help you meet people using many methods, including the zodiac.
It's important to realize that you are a person with free will and that your actions have consequences. Your zodiac sign doesn't predispose you to act a certain way. You act because you think and you think because you're human.
Dating can be difficult. We, as humans, have had it beaten into our heads, from popular depictions of romance, that there's one person out there for everyone. This isn't true. A relationship should be taken care of like a child.
A successful relationship contains two people that are aware of their own as well as each other's shortcomings. Most relationships are fragile and need both parties to take care to make sure that it doesn't break. Simply chalking it up to the fate of the universe isn't a healthy way to navigate dating.
So, are zodiac signs accurate? Well, we don't know.
Instead, try to approach dating and dating methods with cautious optimism. Be open to the possibility that your zodiac sign can help you find love, but don't make it the only option. Use these things in moderation.
You don't want to limit your dating pool because an astrologist gave you the impression that you're supposed to be with a Leo instead of a Pisces. There's a lot of people out there, and there are a lot of people that are compatible for different reasons.
It's undeniable that astrology has an impact on dating, it's impossible to say what the effects of its impact are. 90% of women look up a partner's sun sign when they're in a new relationship, but only 15% admit that they would change their behavior based on what the sun sign is.
Like any science or religion, the things you glean from astrology should be used more as a guide rather than instructions. The best way to succeed in your love life is to be true to your own thoughts and aspirations. Don't alter who you are to make someone like you, and don't expect anyone to do that for you.

Alphabet customers increasingly turn to sub 120g/km cars
By / 9 years ago / Latest News / No Comments
The latest data from the firm shows that more than one in four (26.4%) of the cars that it supplied in the first half of 2010 were rated at 119g/km of CO2 or less. A total of 8% of Alphabet orders this year were for cars rated below 110g/km and 1% were for cars under 100g/km.
Alphabet estimates that cutting CO2 emissions made cumulative cost savings for its customers of £2.9 million in fuel costs alone between 2007 and 2009. The drive to lower-CO2 cars reduced fuel consumption by 3.3 million litres and carbon emissions by 8,750 tonnes.
The company forecasts that the continuing shift to lower-carbon cars will save its customers a further £3 million at the fuel pumps over the next three years, despite projected rises in fuel prices.
Paul Hollick, general manager sales development at Alphabet, said: 'These figures are fantastically encouraging for our customers and for the environment. The cars we supply today are 16% more efficient than those of five years ago. That means customers are spending less on fuel, in real terms, despite the huge increase in pump prices. We have been working with our customer base for some time, helping them set policy, review total cost of ownership and reduce cost. It is good to see the tangible outputs of these policies that were put in place in 2009.'
Alphabet also expects to reach another milestone later this year, with the average CO2 rating of cars purchased by the company forecast to fall from its level of 140.2g/km in June 2010 to below 140g/km over the remainder of the year. As well as saving on fuel costs, the reduction will cut CO2 emissions by an estimated 13,000 tonnes.

Q: Could not translate MS Sql query to Hibernate @Query I have the following MS SQL Query that works perfectly.
select u.id, u.username, r2.authority, em.hrt02_first_name, em.hrt02_last_name from users as u
    inner join group_members gm
        on u.id = gm.user_id
    inner join groups g
        on gm.group_id = g.id
    inner join group_authorities ga
        on ga.group_id = g.id
    inner join roles r2
        on ga.role_id = r2.id
    inner join hrt02_employee_name em
        on em.id = u.id
where u.username = 'john'

The output is as follows
+----+----------+------------+------------------+-----------------+
| id | username | authority  | hrt02_first_name | hrt02_last_name |
+----+----------+------------+------------------+-----------------+
| 1  | john     | ROLE_ADMIN | fname            | lname           |
+----+----------+------------+------------------+-----------------+
| 1  | john     | ROLE_USER  | fname            | lname           |
+----+----------+------------+------------------+-----------------+

But When I tried to convert it to Hibernate Query or `@Query(..., nativeQuery=true) it throws exception. (Failed to Lazy Initialize and Path expected for join).
This is the My Schema Design
@Entity
public class Users {
    // id, username omitted

    @ManyToMany
      @JoinTable(name="group_members", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id"), inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="group_id", referencedColumnName="id"))
    private List<Groups> groups;
}

@Entity
public class Groups {
    // id omitted
    @ManyToMany
      @JoinTable(name="group_authorities", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="group_id", referencedColumnName="id"), inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="role_id", referencedColumnName="id"))
    private List<Roles> roles;
}

@Entity
public class Roles {
    // id omitted, authority
}

@Entity
public class Hrt02EmployeeName {
    // id, firstname, lastname omitted
}

Update 1 - Queries I've tried,
All examples here throws an error, but if you written them in native query and run them, they works as expected. So, It's probably me not knowing how to convert it from nativeQuery to Hibernate Query.
public interface UsersRepository extends JpaRepository<Users, Long> {
    @Query(value =
            "select * from users as u" +
            "    inner join group_members gm" +
            "        on u.id = gm.user_id" +
            "    inner join groups g" +
            "        on gm.group_id = g.id" +
            "    inner join group_authorities ga" +
            "        on ga.group_id = g.id" +
            "    inner join roles r2" +
            "        on ga.role_id = r2.id" +
            " inner join hrt02_employee_name em" +
            "  on em.id = u.id" +
            "  where u.username = :qryusername", nativeQuery = true)
    public Users findRoleByUsername(@Param("qryusername") String username);

    @Query("select distinct u.username, r2.authority from Users as u " +
            " inner join group_members gm " +
            "  on u.id = gm.user_id " +
            " inner join Groups g " +
            "  on gm.group_id = g.id " +
            " inner join group_authorities ga " +
            "  on ga.group_id = g.id " +
            " inner join Roles r2 " +
            "  on ga.role_id = r2.id" +
            " inner join hrt02_employee_name em" +
            "  on em.id = u.id" +
            " where u.username = :username")
    public Users findRoleByUsername(@Param("username") String username);

    @Query(value =
            "select u from Users u" +
            " inner join GroupMembers gm" +
            "  on u.id = gm.user_id" +
            " inner join Groups g" +
            "  on gm.group_id = g.id" +
            " inner join GroupAuthorities ga" +
            "  on ga.group_id = g.id" +
            " inner join Roles r2" +
            "  on ga.role_id = r2.id" +
            " inner join hrt02_employee_name em" +
            "  on em.id = u.id" +
            " where u.username = :username")
    public Users findRoleByUsername(@Param("username") String username);
}

A: Since you want to cast it to User, you would have to construct it, not u.username, r2.authority. Secondly you need to fetch what you're using to avoid LazyInitializationException:
@Query("select distinct u from Users u " +
        " left join fetch u.groups g "
        " left join fetch g.roles r " +
        "  ... "
        " where u.username = :username")
public Users findRoleByUsername(@Param("username") String username);

It's the beginning, because your entity Role has no mapping. You would have to write the same way other entities where the dots are.


Most people rapidly respond that manga will be watched on television and anime can only be learn in a comic book guide from left to right Nevertheless, these 2 several types of media could be far more similar than chances are you`ll think. Is that this the core difference between anime and a manga?.
The word anime is the Japanese term for animation, which implies all types of animated media. Outside Japan, anime refers particularly to animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation type typically characterised by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastical themes. The culturally summary method to the phrase `s that means may open up the potential of anime produced in countries apart from Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as a Japanese animation product. Some scholars suggest defining anime as particularly or quintessentially Japanese could also be related to a new form of Orientalism.
Does the next make us differentiate between likes and not against anime or manga?. Sound is the desire of Japanese animation over a written manga strip There isn`t any solution to hear the characters converse in a comic book e-book as you do in an anime. Being able to hear the explosions, screams, and th particular results of the show provde the phantasm that you are really there in person. This in turn will make you the viewer more excited than ever to see the following episode as soon as possible. Many Japanese corporations have caught on to this pattern , and have thus transformed their manga versions to anime television reveals in the process.
color is a elementary issue moreover sound as a result of this component is the very first thing the attention sees and responds to when talking about manga and anime. Instead of the previous vogue black and white textual content frames, you`ll be able to see a colorful display of moving photos and artwork. It additionally brings you into their world and permits you to discover the land with the characters. This phantasm brings you the viewer into the show and makes your imagination soar. Coloration is a giant deal today , and the identical applies to Japanese cartoon reveals as well.
