The Juvenile Justice System as it typically functions in America's thousands of jurisdictions is the subject that will be covered. The Juvenile Justice System is defined as that "sociologic process having responsibility and authority for public reaction to current
juvenile delinquency and deterrence of future juvenile delinquency, including within that process the public and private agents, agencies, laws, rules, and policies having to do with juvenile delinquency"(Weiner, 1987, p.12). This paper will deal with the history of the juvenile system, the need for the juvenile system, juvenile court functions, parents in
court and programs that have worked, along with ones that haven't. Because the first normal juvenile court was so labeled on July 1, 1899, which would make the Juvenile Justice System nearly a century old. However, the origins of the various components of the JJS go back much further than that. The notion of separate treatment for children under criminal law goes back to a very early English law. Children under seven years of age were legally incapable of committing a crime, and children between seven and fourteen were presumed incapable, this concept being based upon a child's inability to have a guilty mind, or mens rea. Thus, from almost the beginning children have been treated differently from adults who commit the same acts.The origin of juvenile corrections in the United States goes, back at least to the opening of the New York House of Refuge in 825. This house of refuge was established to meet the same kinds of needs the JJS of today tries to meet, including avoidance of harsh criminal penalties for unfortunate children, segregating "predeliquent" children from hardened delinquents, providing "proper" moral, ethical, political, and social values and role models for deprived children, and treating such children as victims rather than offenders. This is the main reason why we do need the Juvenile Justice System.
The function of the juvenile court system is to take a somewhat fatherly and protective attitude toward children, whether to offer humanitarian assistance or parental punishment. Juvenile court was primarily established however by a desire to avoid prisons for children by establishing special juvenile court which would not send children to prison. The juvenile court is also used to somewhat scare the young offender with its dark wooden atmosphere and flags to represent how alive the government is. The courts main function however is to find the best rehabilitation method for that individual. Should it be community service, a curfew or counseling, these are just a few options the court has in sentencing a young offender. Parents play a big role in the Juvenile Court System. With the parents at the court hearing, the court can find out if the parent is providing a good home for the juvenile delinquent. The parents also help out in making the decision of
rehabilitation, with there past experiences that they bring to the court about the juvenile. Parents can also help out in supervision of the juvenile while he or she is on orders from the court. Most of all, parents are there for moral support of there children and help them get through this difficult run in with the law.
The best treatment for many offenders, diversion supporters argue, is little or no treatment. This is the case when an offender is young and charged with nothing more than
serious than a status or minor property offense. For these types of youthful offenders and perhaps others, diversion away from the juvenile justice system is thought to be the most effective method of controlling delinquency. This way the juvenile does not get a delinquent self-image and stigmatize them in the eyes of significant others.
Some of the programs that are currently being used are Probation, "Scared Straight", Community Treatment, and Institutionalization. Probation currently is the most frequently employed sentencing option. Each year approximately 70 percent of the juveniles adjudicated delinquent by the juvenile justice system courts are sentenced to probation. "Scared-Straight" juveniles were taken to state prisons for intensive confrontation sessions with adult inmates serving long term or life sentences. Using there own experiences as examples, inmates told juveniles of the harsh realities of imprisonment. The purpose was to scare the juvenile straight. Community-based Treatment

When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?" "How do you like your coffee? Crisp!" "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't!" "Double your pleasure, double your fun!" "Taste the rainbow".
You know what I'm talking about – snack food – and if the weather doesn't let up, there may be more snacking happening than is advisable (hello, Fudgeos!)
Snack foods I believe are taking over the planet. They've certainly commandeered the grocery stores.
While all the good stuff can be found on the outside aisles of most supermarkets, the inner lanes look like set designs for a Willie Wonka sequel.
There are dozens of options for the serious snacker just on the potato chip shelves alone – barbecue, salt and vinegar, lightly salted, sour cream and onion, ketchup, baby back rib and the Lay's Canadian contest winner for 2013, Maple Moose flavor (which I hear is being pulled because we really did not favour the flavour).
We like to think that we invented snacking – but the phenom has been with us for quite some time.
In the first decade of the last century, those World Fairs were starting to introduce all kinds of new foodstuff to a hungry public.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, waffle cones, Dr. Pepper and cotton candy (your carnival food staples) were making an impact not only during the expos, but certainly afterwards.
Pizza, our beloved fast food staple, first came to North America in 1905 when Lombardi's opened its doors in New York City in 1905.
"America's most famous dessert," according to the Ladies Home Journal, jiggled its way onto plates back in 1897; Jell-o was a quick hit with strawberry and cherry flavors, while coffee and cola did not last out the year (Jell-o trivia alert – the company offered each new immigrant stopping at Ellis Island in New York harbour in 1903 a free bowl of the dessert as a "Welcome to America!" gift).
One candy that came from that decade that frankly should have gone the way of coffee Jell-o are those icky chalk conversation hearts that some poor soul still thinks is okay to give at Valentine's.
The next decade saw the invasion of the Oreo cookie, originally sold as part of a three-pack (the other two were the Mother Goose and the Veronese, but they were soon let go as the real star was the chocolate sandwich cookie).
Oreos were sold in glass jars for twenty-five cents a pound.
Lifesaver candies also made their debut in 1912, but they did not get their hole-in-the-middle until 1925, which begs the question – how were they a lifesaver without the hole in the middle?
By the 1920s snacks were just gaining their stride. Prohibition was sucking the fun out of a lot of things, so naturally candy and chocolates stepped up to the plate.
Oh Henry's, Mounds, Mike and Ike's, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Nestles Drumsticks and Popsicles all became popular with a public whose sweet tooth was in full development.
Marshmallow Fluff and Kool-Aid rounded out the decade (and apparently many a behind).
Things were tough in the 1930s. The Great Depression was in full swing. Companies were motivated to create affordable food from cheap products and they were quite successful.
Twinkies, Snickers, Frito's and Lay's potato chips got their start during the height of the crisis.
Just a side note on potato chips – according to popular lore, in 1853, millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt was lunching at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs (and acting like a royal pain in the you-know-where).
He ordered french fries but sent them back because he thought they were too thick – he did this little stunt no less than three times.
The by-now furious chef whipped out a potato peeler and proceeded the shave slim strips off a potato; he immersed these discs in hot oil, making them super crispy.
He doused them in salt and served them personally to the snooty millionaire who ate every one of them declaring they were the best thing he had eaten in years. The chef called his creation Saratoga chips and thus was born the potato chip industry.

On the 4th I sent trains down from Brookfield to bring up Colonel Williams' force. About 11 a. m. I received a dispatch from Colonel Williams asking re-enforcements; that he was surrounded by some 3,00 men. I answered by telegraph that I would come down with 350 men to assist him and to hold the place. Shortly after I received another dispatch that the enemy had opened fire with two pieces of artillery. I ordered that the troops charge at once and take the battery.
These dispatches were received at Shelbina. I hurried forward the embarkation of the men at Brookfield, and started as rapidly as possible. On arriving at Macon City, I learned by telegraph that Colonel Williams' force had abandoned Shelbina, and were then near Clarence, 12 miles east of Macon. As it was now near night, I concluded to wait for their arrival. They came up about 8 p. m. I sent for Colonel Williams and the officers of the Second Kansas Regiment, and demanded the reasons for withdrawal. Colonel Bair and Major Cloud stated that they had insisted on the abandonment of the place against Colonel Williams' consent; that they considered the order to charge the battery impracticable. They further informed me that their time of service was out; that by orders from General Fremont they were on their way home to reorganize the regiment; showed me Major-General Fremont's orders for their transportation west, and demanded transportation accordingly. I requested them as a matter of justice to Colonel Williams to put their statement into writing, which was done, and a copy of which is hereto attached.
In the morning of the 6th I ordered down the balance of my force from Brookfield, and sent the Second Kansas west. Great delay occurred in obtaining the necessary timber and material for the repair of the road, which we had ascertained to be very much torn up in the neighborhood of Shelbina, especially as the engineers refused to run after dark.
On the morning of the 7th of September, having collected the necessary material, and taking under my command the Third Iowa and two hundred men of the Illinois Sixteenth, I started east one the road and worked through without opposition, but with considerable delay, to Shelbina, where I had the honor of opening communications with you. I was in hopes that the Second Kansas would have remained with the command, but did not consider that I had any authority to order them to do so. As Brookfield was, in my judgment, much exposed to attack, and had a large amount of Government property, I requested them to remain and guard that point. This they also declined, but afterwards, on arriving at the post, concluded to do so.
It appears from Colonel Williams' statement that he had only 280 of his own men; that he was willing to hold Shelbina, and wholly refused to abandon it, but was compelled to do so by the action of the Second Kansas.
The only casualty that occurred at Shelbina was that Captain McClure, of the Second Kansas, lost his foot by a cannon ball. I learned from good sources at that point that at least seven of the enemy were killed. The force was commanded by Martin E. Green, the same that was at Philadelphia, and fell away from that point before the advance of Moore and Smith, re-enforced largely by sudden levies from Monroe, Marion, and Ralls Counties. Their numbers I only gather from the reports made to me. I do not think that Green had of his own command more than 1,200.
It is my opinion that Shelbina could have been held, but the fault of

The death toll from the Rana Plaza factory collapse has now passed 700. It is one of the worst industrial disasters in recent history, and the worst ever in Bangladesh.
A government building inspector has confirmed that the building, which housed five factories, was built with inadequate, weak materials that could not withstand vibrations caused by electricity generators on the top floor. The building's architect has said it was intended to house residential or light commercial properties rather than heavy industry.
Primark, one of the western suppliers which sourced textiles from the factory, has agreed to compensate the victims' families. Mango, Matalan, and Bonmarche, which also had links with factories there, are yet to do so. None of the companies have so far signed up to the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement.
Social unrest has increased in the aftermath of the tragedy, with garment workers striking and demonstrating in response, including on May Day. There have also been deaths following mass Islamist demonstrations in Dhaka. Islamists are demanding the passing of an anti-blasphemy law and have called for the execution of atheists.
Workers must organise to prevent their struggles being confiscated either by Islamists or by the right-wing bourgeois opposition.

Court: Lawsuit filed by one of Trump's accusers can move forward
As much of the world no doubt recalls, Donald Trump was recorded in 2005 bragging about committing sexual assaults. The Republican said, among other things, that he kisses women he considers attractive – "I don't even wait," Trump claimed at the time – which he said he can get away with because of his public profile.
"When you're a star, they let you do it," Trump said on the recording. "You can do anything. Grab 'em by the p—y."
After Trump denied having done what he bragged about doing, 11 women came forward to accuse the Republican of sexual misconduct – one of whom, Summer Zervos, is currently suing the president for defamation, after Trump insisted each of his accusers were liars.
Trump's lawyers have tried a variety of arguments to make the case go away – the president has denied any wrongdoing – but as of this afternoon, those efforts have failed. The Daily Beast reported:
A Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled Tuesday that President Trump has to face a defamation lawsuit brought by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos. Justice Jennifer Schecter wrote that a "sitting president is not immune from being sued in federal court for unofficial acts," citing court precedent that led to President Clinton's impeachment in 1998. Justice Schecter subsequently denied Trump's "motion to dismiss this case or hold it in abeyance."
This comes as Zervos, who accused Trump last year of sexually harassing her in 2007, sued the president for defamation after he suggested she made up the allegations for "ten minutes of fame."
Remember, the president's legal team argued, among other things, that a case like this one could "distract a president from his public duties to the detriment of not only the president and his office but also the nation."
Though the cases have some important differences, Bill Clinton's lawyers tried a similar tack in the Paula Jones case in the 1990s, and it didn't work out for the sitting president. Indeed, the New York judge cited this case in concluding today, "No one is above the law."
Today's decision will almost certainly be appealed, but in the meantime, the litigation can proceed. Of particular interest is what new information may be revealed by the discovery process.
Watch this space.

Free FAFSA Guide
File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) as soon as possible after October 1 of the student's senior year in high school and each subsequent year in college. Do not procrastinate. Don't miss out on student financial aid by missing a deadline.
The FAFSA is used to apply for financial aid from state grant programs and most colleges and universities, in addition to federal student aid. Colleges and state grant programs may have their own deadlines for filing the FAFSA. Several states and colleges have very early deadlines for state grants and other types of financial aid, some as early as February 1 (see sidebar). Other states and some colleges award their financial aid funds on a first-come, first-served basis, until the money runs out.Students who file the FAFSA early receive more than twice as much grant funding, on average, as students who file the FAFSA later.
First-come, First-served (10)
February Deadlines (3)
March Deadlines (12)
Families should not wait until after the student has been admitted by a college.
Don't delay applying for aid. Filing the FAFSA earlier will help the student avoid missing deadlines, thereby maximizing the amount of aid for which they are eligible.
Don't wait until the day the application is due. Assume that the deadline is based on Eastern Time, not Pacific Time. (The federal deadline for filing the FAFSA is based on Central Time, but each state may use a deadline based on a different time zone for state grants. Assuming that the deadline is based on Eastern Time is safest.) Don't miss out on financial aid opportunities by missing any deadlines.

The Models 15 through 19 were all based on the same design with some minor differences, while serial number runs alternated with those of the Model 14. The factory appears to have had both the Models 14 and 15 in production at the same time, which is odd, since both are 6-size hunter lever-set movements. This second design, starting with the M15 and concluding with the M18, was divided into the Eagle and the Century Series, and roughly a half-million were produced. Complicating matters further was the 12 x 6 line, which used 12-size dials on 6-size watches.
The total production of the Model 15 was around 27,000 pieces in four runs from SN 128,001 up to 160,000. Jewel counts were 7, 11, and 15 in gilt, nickel and two-tone, and all were lever-set with flat hairsprings. Later 6-size models were all based on the Model 15 platform with changes to jewel sizes and the winding and setting mechanism. The Model 15 parts list shared some of those used on the 12 x 6 spread movements.
The Model 16 was made in two separate runs from SN 160,001 up to 200,000 and another one from SN 400,001 to 420,000 for a total of 59,000 movements. Other than some minor changes to the mainspring barrel and arbor they were identical to the Model 15 with the plate finishes and jewel counts of 7 to 15 remaining unchanged.
130,000 movements were produced in two runs from SN 420,001 up to 500,000 and from SN 900,001 up to 950,000. The Model 17 was nearly identical to the M16, but upgraded with Breguet hairsprings and now offered in jewel counts of 7, 11, 12, 15, and 17. The counts of 12 and 17 have been reported in only the Edgemere grade.
These watches first appeared around 1900 and were a Model 15 with a larger 12-size pillar plate, offered in the same three jewel counts in either lever-set hunting or open-face with no seconds bit on the dial. Later versions were based on the Model 18, with a longer setting arm appearing on the parts list. Some publications advertise these movements as pendant-set, despite the fact that neither the 1904 Model 15 or 18 parts lists include no provisions for a pendant-set mechanism. No model designates are known but they were included as part of the Eagle Series with six of their own grade numbers, continuing to the end in the 1913 Centennial Catalog.
The Model 18 was produced in three separate blocks from SN 950,001 up to 1,000,000, from SN 3,250,000 to 3,258,000, and finishing with a final block above SN 4,000,000. They came in both nickel and two-tone, and had 7 jewels, flat hairsprings, solid center pinions, and a separate parts catalog entirely its own. All of the reported movements are named grades.
This assigned grade appears in several of the Ehrhardt volumes and is based on a 7-jewel Model 18 that was equipped with a Breguet hairspring. Production totals so far are evidently confined to a narrow range of a few thousand movements from SN 3,000,000 to 3,004,500.
* This is an assigned model number. The factory designation is not known.
The Model 15 first appeared in the 1904 catalog, though it's likely that it debuted before that, given how its serial number runs dovetailed with the earlier Model 14. Later catalogs up to 1913 list a 6-size Eagle movement by differing grade numbers and jewel counts, so it's never clear exactly which model was being represented.
The watches logged in the M15 to 19 chart are all reported examples or verified from photos.
If your watch isn't on this SN chart please send us a picture.
The earliest blocks of nickel Model 15s were stamped with the image of a rose and came equipped with either a colored fancy dial or one with a Rose-signature dial, and are very scarce.
Grade assignments for all the 6-size models are ambiguous at best because most reported examples are junk parts movements without a dial photo, so it's impossible to know if it's pendant or lever-set. For ease of research nearly all the 7-jewel movements are logged as lever-set Grade 35; though the pendant-set Grade 45 has been identified whenever possible. The Rose movements were designated as Grade 5 in at least one publication.
The 12x6 Spread Movements
All of the spread movements are standard 6-size models with a larger pillar plate to allow them to fit a 12-size case. They were advertised as both lever and pendant-set, but the various parts lists don't show any kind of pendant-set option. They did have six separate grade designations based on the two setting options and the three jewel counts, but again photos are sometimes so poor that it's impossible to identify the setting type or whether it has a larger-than-normal pillar plate. For ease of research all examples have been graded by jewel count, but if your watch is a spread movement use the chart to determine the correct grade.
* Grades 115 and 225 are both assigned and have been found exclusively on the Edgemere grade.
The Banner watches were 11-jewel Grade 105 Seth Thomas movements with specially marked dials, though the movements bore the standard markings and patterns. They have been reported in Models 16 and 17 Eagle Series serial number blocks, and were available as a movement or factory cased. It is not known for whom these pieces were made or if they were marketed alongside regular production grades.
The serial number runs for the models alternated with each other up to SN 1,000,000, which backs up the information in Chris Bailey's 1981 publication. Factory records past this point have not been found, so any blocks beyond SN 1,000,000 are based on reported examples.
There were plenty of named grades to accompany the factory-numbered ones.

BUNGLING Assembly officials over-paid North Wales farmers hundreds of thousands of pounds in subsidies.
Welsh Assembly bosses last night apologised for the error which saw some farmers paid almost four times more than they were owed.
Six hundred farmers across Wales yesterday received letters demanding repayment of the money, handed out as part of the new Single Farm Payment (SFP) subsidy.
Several bigger landowners received tens of thousands of pounds - indicating the total over-payment could run into millions.
Farmers have been given until April 8 to repay the money or face reduced subsidies next year.
NFU Cymru deputy president Ed Bailey, who farms near Harlech, said he received the correct sum but knew of others who hadn't.
He said: "Perhaps one or two who are heavily in debt might have used the money to repay loans, and this might cause them difficulties.
"But most farmers know roughly what they should be getting and would be expecting to repay the money."
The blunder is an embarrassment for the Cardiff government which last December 1 boasted it was the first administration in Britain to pay SFPs to its farmers.
It then delivered 80% of what farmers were owed, with the balance due from February 17.
An Assembly spokesman said: "We made correct interim payments to 94% of customers between December 1 and February 16.
"Full payments were processed from February 17 with over 65% of customers receiving correct full payments by March 14.
"An error involving a technical update to our IT system resulted in a small number of overpayments being made. The problem was noticed quickly and resolved, but around 600 balance payments (about 3%) entered the banking system... between March 2-6."
Trevor Lloyd, NFU Cymru chairman for Anglesey, said he sympathised with the Assembly as its intentions had been good.

Live Guinness Pro 12 games on S4C's rugby series Clwb Rygbi in the 2015-16 season will be broadcast at the new time of 2.15 on Sunday afternoons starting with the match between the Blues and Zebre on Sunday 6 September.
The Blues' encounter with the Italian side (kick-off 2.30) will be broadcast live from Cardiff Arms Park as part of an exciting package of sport for Sunday afternoons including live games from the Guinness Pro 12, the best of French Rugby – the Top 14 at 4.30 and highlights of a variety of sporting events in Clwb at 5.00.
Clwb Rygbi's free-to-view live matches from the Guinness Pro 12 and other club competitions on Sunday afternoons will complement the channel's extensive coverage of Rugby World Cup 2015.
S4C will be providing an inclusive package of live Rugby World Cup matches, highlights and analysis shows. During Rugby World Cup 2015 and occasionally at other times, the transmission time of Clwb Rygbi will vary.
English commentary on the red button/audio select option and English subtitles will be available on the Clwb Rygbi live coverage.
Sue Butler, S4C Sports Editor, said: "Broadcasting a live game from the Guinness Pro 12 at the new time means Sunday afternoons will be full of excitement for followers of the game in Wales. With qualification for the European Cup at the heart of the league campaign, every match will count. All this is on top of our comprehensive Cwpan Rygbi'r Byd 2015 - Rugby World Cup 2015 service - so all who love rugby can look forward to months of exciting viewing on S4C."
Clwb Rygbi, a BBC Wales production on S4C, will be presented by Gareth Roberts with Gareth Charles providing the commentary. Geoff Williams, Head of Sport, BBC Wales said, "We are looking forward to producing another season of live Clwb Rygbi programmes. The high production values and quality presentation team from BBC Wales helps make Clwb Rygbi one of S4C's flagship series. We hope the new time will provide the platform for the continuing success of the programme."
During the season Clwb Rygbi will broadcast a number of Welsh derbies live including Dragons v Blues on Sunday 27 December and Blues v Scarlets on New Year's Day, Friday 1 January.
Other confirmed live Guinness Pro 12 matches in the first weeks of the season include Ospreys v Munster on Sunday 13 September and Zebre v Scarlets on Sunday 4 October.
Glasgow Warriors came out on top last season after a thumping victory against Munster in the Final, becoming the first Scottish side to claim the title in the process. It was a mixed season for the Welsh regions and all four will have their own expectations and aspirations ahead of the new season. The quality and depth of the regions' squads will be vital early on in the season while their international players are on Rugby World Cup duty.
Following Clwb Rygbi on Sunday afternoons will be Top 14: Rygbi Ffrainc with the best of the action from France's Premier League shown at 4.30.
And after an afternoon of captivating rugby on S4C, Clwb, the channel's sports programme, will be back at 5.00 presented by Dylan Ebenezer and Geraint Hardy.
Produced by Rondo Media live from their Caernarfon studio, Clwb will feature Welsh Premier League football, cycling, rallying, running, athletics and many other sports.

ICERM Workshop: Cluster Algebras and Statistical Physics
Sunday, August 14, 2011 - 8:00pm to Friday, August 19, 2011 - 1:00pm
Cluster algebras are commutative algebras with a distinguished set of generators grouped into overlapping subsets of fixed cardinality; the generators and the relations among them are not given from the outset, but are produced by an iterative process of successive mutations. Cluster algebras encode a surprisingly widespread range of phenomena in settings as diverse as quiver representations, Teichmüller theory, invariant theory, tropical calculus, Poisson geometry, and polyhedral combinatorics.

WINTER HAVEN - The Inwood Association's monthly meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Polk County Sheriff's Office substation at 3635 Ave. G., N.W., in Winter Haven.
Safety tips for the upcoming holiday period will be one of the issues to be discussed. Kathy Barnett, president of the association, said she already is receiving reports of door-to-door solicitors in the local neighborhood, a safety concern more commonly associated with the Christmas season.
Also on the agenda for this meeting are the ongoing violations of the Polk County code in the area.
One of the most common violations of the code in the community is distressed or abandoned vehicles. On most streets, at least one home will have a violation of this type; and at a number of sites, the violation involves several vehicles.
The code does not allow for the parking or storage of a distressed vehicle - one that is incapable of being moved under its own power - on residential property unless that vehicle is completely enclosed in a garage or building. One distressed vehicle is permitted to be stored in the back of the property if it is enclosed by a screen and is completely hidden from the view of neighbors.
The code also does not permit an abandoned vehicle - one that does not have a current license plate - to be parked on residential property for more than a 30-day period.
The number of code-enforcement officers for the area has been reduced because of recent cuts in the county's budget. However, the codes have not been eliminated or changed, and they will be enforced if the violations are reported.
The violations can be reported by calling 863-534-6054.

Probabilistic Databases Under Open World Assumptions
- work
- +49 241 80 21716
- Send Email
Probabilistic databases (PDBs) [1] are used to store, process and to query large amounts of uncertain (probabilistic) data as may arise, for example, in information extraction, sensory data or by using machine learning methods. Probabilistic databases are modeled using the so-called possible worlds semantics. Instead of a single relational database, a PDB describes a probability distribution over a collection of traditional instances. These individual instances are called the "possible worlds" of the probabilistic database. More formally, a PDB is a probability space over sets of relational structures.
Preliminary work on probabilistic databases dates back to the 80s and 90s with (among others) the seminal work of Cavallo and Pittarelli [2], of Barbará et al. [3] and of Fuhr and Röllecke [4]. The topic regained new interest in the mid-2000s with the work of Dalvi and Suciu (see [5]) who showed a notable dichotomy result for the computational complexity of a very natural class of queries.
To that point however, the concrete notions that were considered for modeling probabilistic databases mostly comprised the following two properties:
- the domain (resp. the union of all attribute domains) is of fixed, finite size; and
- the stochastic model is quite simple (using various kinds of independence assumptions).
Parallel and subsequent work proposed systems that may handle even continuous distributions (for example [6], [7]) and even introduced a continuous, formal semantics for tree-databases [8]. Still, the probabilistic data herein initially follows a closed world semantics. That is, every possible database record that has no explicitly specified positive probability, is assumed to be almost surely (i. e. with probability 1) false. However, as Ceylan et al. [9] pointed out, moving towards an open world assumption is more reasonable in a lot of application scenarios. They suggest specifying a probability interval for all "unspecified" facts that can be built using the underlying domain. However, their approach is limited to finite domains and the assumption of stochastic independence of individual tuples. While this is no real restriction in a finite setting, it is unclear, whether and how their method can be extended to support infinite domains.
The goal of this research project is to build and sharpen the theoretical foundations for probabilistic databases with infinite universes and rich correlations as well as explore the possibilities of performing (approximate) open-world query evaluation in such a model.
So far, there are no immediate intersections with other dissertation topics of the RTG.

Penrith's extraordinary injury crisis has worsened with news this morning that forward Moses Leota will miss the next eight weeks after suffering a partial pectoral tear.
Leota, who has been enjoying his best year in first grade, suffered the injury during last Friday night's game against the Cowboys in Bathurst.
The 22-year-old will not require surgery but won't be back until at least round 16.
It is another major blow for Penrith who have almost half of their salary cap on the sideline.
Dylan Edwards, Josh Mansour, Waqa Blake, Sam McKendry, Tim Browne (retired), Corey Waddell, Trent Merrin and Nathan Cleary are all still on the injured list while Jack Hetherington will miss Friday night's game against Newcastle through suspension.
Coach Anthony Griffin will name his team to play the Knights at 4pm this afternoon.

World stocks slip on doubts over trade truce, worries of slowing growth
New Yοrk - A key gauge of wοrld equity markets fell οn Tuesday as hopes faded fοr a speedy resolutiοn to the U.S.-China trade spat, while a flattening Treasury yield curve sparked recessiοn warning signs that weighed οn the U.S. dollar.
Two-year Treasury yields rοse abοve those of lοnger-dated 5-year nοtes overnight fοr the first time since the start of the financial crisis in January 2008, signaling to some investοrs an apprοaching U.S. ecοnοmic slowdown.
MSCI's gauge of stock markets acrοss the globe shed 0.90 percent, while the pan-Eurοpean STOXX 600 index lost 0.76 percent.
Bοnd market jitters added to a weak start οn Wall Street.
The Dow Jοnes Industrial Average fell 255.16 pοints, οr 0.99 percent, to 25,571.27, the S&P 500 lost 29.41 pοints, οr 1.05 percent, to 2,760.96 and the Nasdaq Compοsite drοpped 94.53 pοints, οr 1.27 percent, to 7,346.98.
On Mοnday, stock markets arοund the wοrld gοt some relief after Washingtοn and Beijing agreed to tempοrarily end their trade war during talks at the G20 summit in Argentina. Upοn closer scrutiny, investοrs said a deal between the wοrld's two biggest ecοnοmies was far frοm a sure bet.
"It isn't very clear οn what bοth sides agreed to, other than just a tempοrary truce," Scοtt Brοwn, chief ecοnοmist at Raymοnd James in St. Petersburg, Flοrida said.
There was added cοnfusiοn over when the 90-day truce period, during which the U.S. and China would hold off οn impοsing mοre tariffs, would start.
Additiοnally, nοne of the cοmmitments that U.S. officials said had been given by China - including reducing its 40 percent tariffs οn autos - were agreed to in writing and specifics had yet to be hammered out.
Meanwhile, the flattening U.S. yield curve weighed οn investοrs' minds.
"The fοcus is nοw shifting to the inverted U.S. bοnd yield curve, which has negative cοnnοtatiοns, while implying the U.S. ecοnοmy is heading towards what was, οnly a few weeks agο, an imprοbable ecοnοmic slowdown," said Stephen Innes, head of trading fοr APAC at Oanda.
The spread between two-year and three-year yields was -0.10 basis pοint in mοrning trading, marking the first yield inversiοn between these two maturities since January 2008, accοrding to Tradeweb and Refinitiv data.
The U.S. dollar sagged as Treasury yields fell, adding to cοncerns the Federal Reserve cοuld pause in its rate-hike cycle.
The greenback, which started the week οn a weak fοoting as the apparent thaw in trade tensiοns between the U.S. and China cοoled demand fοr the safe-haven currency, extended its fall as investοrs wοrried abοut the inversiοn of the shοrt end of the U.S. yield curve in bοnd markets.
The dollar index, tracking the unit against six majοr wοrld currencies, fell 0.12 percent, with the eurο down 0.08 percent to $1.1343. The dollar fell half a percent against the offshοre yuan to 6.8441, its weakest since September.
Sterling rοse after a seniοr Eurοpean Uniοn legal adviser said Britain cοuld unilaterally withdraw its Brexit nοtice, easing investοrs cοncerns abοut Britain crashing out of the bloc in March without a deal.
Oil prices surged, extending gains ahead of expected output cuts by prοducer cartel OPEC and a reductiοn in Canadian supply.
Brent crude oil jumped by $1.89, οr 3 percent, to a high of $63.58 befοre slipping back to trade arοund $62.25, up 56 cents by 1425 GMT. U.S. light crude was last up 20 cents at $53.15 after earlier gaining mοre than 3 percent to an intraday high of $54.55 a barrel.

Kidney Bean Soup
I made this soup today with some white and red kidney beans I found in the pantry. It's extremely hearty, so it'll take a while to finish it I think, but it goes great with the guacamole we have in our freezer!
What you need:
- 1 lb (2 cups) dried kidney beans or 3 14-oz cans
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
- 1 14-oz can chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oreganob
- 4 cups liquid (water, or stock)
- Salt and pepper
What to do:
If you're using dried beans, soak them overnight in water (3 cups of water for each cup of dried beans). Rinse the beans out before use until the water runs pretty clear. Boil the beans for about one and a half hours in a medium-sized pot with enough water to cover the beans by about 1.5″. When they're tender, you can turn down the fire and drain out the beans again. You don't need to keep the bean water.
Next, sweat out the onions in a medium soup-pot with some olive oil. try not to caramelize them, just get them nice and soft. Add in the garlic and all the spices to coat the onions, and once it's evenly mixed, drop in the beans, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Ensure everything is evenly coated, and then add in the liquid (I used beef stock here). Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Bust out the immersion blender, and blend up that delicious mix until smooth.
Serve with some guacamole on top!

Dark florescent ruby with wide clear-and-pink edges. Big warm woolen mittens of fruit obliterate basically all images of Pinot Noir, replacing them with a flabby, round somewhat chocolaty Syrah–or hell, almost ZINFANDEL-ish–fruit. One-dimensional and boring, a grimy petrichor desperately tries to knock on the door–repeatedly driven back by the obese critter on the porch.
Everyone knows I wonk hard for Anderson Valley, but this is not the sort of Pinot I like to drink. I know LOTS of folks for whom this is EXACTLY what they like to drink and it is a very very GOOD version of that style of Pinot–and I am not judging. Big and round and SY-like, packed with jammy fruit–this is PERFECT for crowd-pleasing party-sippers or even that big glass of wine when you are going to bed. Barnyard and funk are–for all rights and purposes–nowhere to be found. Syrup and caramel rise out of it, overflowing with sweet cherry.
In the mouth, a green streak surprises me, watering down the huge fruit and turning the middle a welcome touch of bitter. The finish runs off hot and tannic, and only for a moment was the huge sweet fruit visible in the entry and middle. There's plenty in the nose to get you by, though! I'm guessing almost 15-0 and while this bottle could convert to Pinot even the most stalwart Cab or Syrah person, it really isn't my cup of tea–errrr–Pinot.

Research Interests: Particle Physics
Research Topic: Supersymmetric field theory and related topics
Symmetry, which is often viewed as a kind of beauty, is the most powerful idea in modern particle physics. Fundamental laws of the universe are governed by symmetries. Why is beauty truth? Yutaka was intrigued with this fact, even when he was undergraduate student. Since then, these types of deeper questions have been the driving force of his research.
Equally powerful is the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking. If nature does not preserve whole symmetries of the laws, then the physicist says that the symmetry is spontaneously broken. Higgs particle is a key ingredient for the spontaneous symmetry breaking. Experiments to better understand the Higgs particle are currently being performed using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In this Hakubi project, Yutaka will focus on supersymmetry and try to construct a model for the early universe.

Transatlantic five-piece Dorja gathered in the same city for the final time this year to bring a successful 2017 to a fitting end in London on Tuesday evening. Joined by Gelato and Duke of Wolves, the rockers put on one hell of a show at The Black Heart in Camden – which is swiftly becoming my favourite venue, and is a must visit for any rock / metal lovers out there.
The evening began in fine fashion with London quartet Duke Of Wolves, who kicked off with Hollow Eyes, which fused great high vocals from frontman Jim with the booming sounds from lead guitarist Orlando.
They followed that up with a song that opened with a cool wah-infused solo and huge drums, then dropped down into funky supporting chords and laid-back vocals. The verse was followed by big smashes of guitars before a singalong chorus – kind of giving me the vibe of early days, rocky Stereophonics. Jim was hitting some huge high notes then a big rock out was followed by another big solo, and drummer Tom got the crowd clapping along before they dived into a huge rockout to end with.
More audience engagement followed as Jim asked "do you feel like singing?" and got us shouting "nah nah nah" vocals. This song saw a great little drum solo, but the highlight was all four of the band members singing through the choruses, which sounded huge.
Next was a "brand brand brand new song" that they were playing live for the first time. It opened with a cool Eastern sounding riff, then vocals that got gradually higher pitched through a really fun chorus. An a capella call of "Save me" was met by heavy guitars and high vocals, then it ended with big guitars and a cool bassline from bass player Sara.
Jaunty new single Teddy Boy followed, featuring low tuned guitars and loads of cymbals in the intro followed by some cool rolling guitar chords. Then Terry The Serial Killer opened with a big drum intro then fun smashes of guitar after high pitched vocals through the chorus. Jim got the crowd singing some big high pitched noises, then they rocked out, did a Mannequin Challenge – remember that? – and a final chorus, or so I thought. There was still time for another solo then a huge rockout just as we thought the track was done. It was a really impressive performance.
Their final song, and another brand new one at that, Do What You Want left us with, in their words, "a very, very sexy song, if we do say so ourselves." It opened up with a big chunky guitar riff then stabs of high guitar after a cry of "Do what you want" before dropping into the a cool vocal-led verse. It build up again with growing drums that led into the chorus, then everything dropped out bar a lingering wah guitar sound that built towards another chorus, then a big solo, followed by a big drum roll and huge fast-paced guitars to finish a hugely enjoyable set.
Next up was the rawer sound of fellow London trio Gelato. They opened up with a track that had me hooked instantly with their driving drums and big bass sound, then followed it up with new song Nosey, which opened with a cool little riff then picked up the pace in a heavier chorus.
Next, Get My Way opened with a fun riff with smashes of bass drum from Callum Green followed by frontman Drew Wynen's raw vocals through an opening verse dominated by a pounding bassline from Jacob Roos. Bigger guitasr chords came in alongside some fun "ooh ooh" vocals, then a load of random noises – which aided the Nirvana vibe I was getting from them.
That was followed by Ruffians, which opened with vocals over palm-muted chords through a laid-back verse that was smashed open by a faster, heavier chorus, followed by more "oo-oo" vocals.
Another new track Humans followed, opening with fun choppy chords then a rolling guitar lick that fed into a fun, sneaky verse that gradually build towards heavier choruses. Drew then "dared to tune" into drop-D without his tuner for Room Service, which opened with a cool guitar riff intro, then he switched the sound off on his guitar and carried on playing, before pumping out the fun riff once more.
Their final song opened with big drums and a huge riff that gave way to a cool riff throughout the verse, then a chunky riff that led into a fun verse. A quick rockout led into another verse, then it all slowed right down and little flicks of guitar led into a singalong chorus. A cheeky little wah-wah solo was followed by a low-tuned rockout that fed into a final chorus.
Upon returning to the upstairs venue having replenished my pint glass, I discovered a group of older chaps had blocked off my prime position at the front of the audience (that's my excuse for some poor quality photos!). The mid-set music bizarrely stopped well before they were ready, but that didn't put off our headliners for the evening, the UK, Belgium and Kazakhstan hailing members of Dorja.
They opened up with a funky riff and a cry of "I'm breaking down" and a brilliant amalgamation of big vocals and flying riffs before Rosie Betterill flew into a huge solo.
The next song opened with cool little mini guitar solos that flowed into some ridiculously good vocals from Aiym Almas, then a huge high-pitched solo from Sarah Michelle. A rocky ending saw guitars flying all over the place, which attracted the impressive praise from one inebriated audience member: "You're too good to advertise." He had a point, they rock, but he was dubiously hammered.
They swiftly moved on to the delicious Not In Your Shadow, on which Aiym's impressively diverse vocals came to the fore, with huge drums from the brilliant Anna Mylee throughout.
That was followed by a song that they genuinely wrote the day before, Chainbreaker ("for now"). It opened with funky opening guitar riffs that fed into higher guitars over the verse vocals, and more high guitrars through a chorus that ended in darting guitar riffs and moaning vocals. More really cool high-pitched guitar fed into a big rockout and a guitar-off that led into a solo by Sarah.
The seductive Target Practice opened with an awesome bass intro by Becky Phillips then a cool laid-back verse was soon blasted away by Aiym's big booming vocals, before Sarah jumped onto the top of the stage to smash out another massive solo.
Next was Dorja's brilliant new single Far Gone, which opened with a cool riff and a winding verse that fed into a big singalong chorus. It soon descended into huge rock noise with big vocals then an awesome drum-and-bass-off between Anna and Becky.
Then, not content with nailing the song they'd finished the day before, they played a song that they finished earlier that day. It opened with light palm-muted guitars alongside atmospheric vocals that were smashed open by a big guitar riff then huge vocals that dominated despite some massive riffery. A low-tuned guitar riff followed the second guitar chorus then building guitars and drums saw Rosie steal the solo limelight back with another huge blitz. They wrote this song on the same day and it sounded like they'd been playing it for years – it was seriously impressive.
They closed out – or so they told us – with another track from this year's debut EP, the also excellent Fire. Big rocky riffs and huge vocals dominated, then an awesome vocal-only section led into a huge smash out underneath Aiym repeating "I'm on fire."
Upon the request of the old boys at the front they played one more, which turned out to be a hugely impressive cover of Audioslave's Show Me How To Live, which gave Rosie and Sarah another chance to show off their undoubted ability to rip it up.
But they weren't done there as they then actually play their final song, Helter Skelter – much to one of the old chaps' delight, which flowed into Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. This saw huge drum solo by Anna and gave us a final reminder of just how awesome Aiym's voice is on the big repeats of "my, my, my" and the final cry of "one more time."
Before seeing – and meeting, of which you can read more shortly – Dorja, I'd read claims like "transatlantic hard rock sensation" and "one of the most exciting bands in years" and, on the basis of seeing them live, it's very easy to see why. They're obviously hugely talented, they smash out awesome rock songs packed full of big riffs, solos and pounding drums, with some awesome hard rock vocals to boot.
This was a great gig with Dorja topping off excellent, really engaging performances by Gelato and Duke Of Wolves.
You can follow Dorja on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and check out their music on Spotify and iTunes. You can follow Gelato on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and check out their music on Spotify and iTunes.

Game Overview
Tankard Of Ale Or Bonk Sire?" Was all you used to get from women in Role Playing Games. That and "Help! Help! I'm crap. I'm wearing a white dress and I need to be rescued!". Of course, that was the 'old days', when men were men and women were buxom serving wenches with low-cut dresses. But nowadays, in the nineties. Britannia, fabled realm and setting of the Ultima Octology. has ceased to be the macho wash homeland we all loved and cherished. Instead, it's a right-on ecological cum social cum feminist disaster area.
As in the real Britain, the Royal house is in turmoil. The servants are in revolt. The women want equal rights - a full rpg referendum, a franchise bill, and less of the low-necked corsets which push their bosoms out. Lord British, once compassionate and regal, is now distracted and bearded. The water's running out. the plants are dying, and they're running out of Mana Boost Potion (or whatever they call 'coffee' in rpg land).
In the old days, of Ultimas I to VU these problems would have been solved very quickly with the key phrases: hanging, drawing and quartering. But today, 1993 it's conscience, compromise and climb-down.
You Avatar, have returned to Britannia for a good old knees up with all your old adventuring chums, managing to make it to bed in the early hours, at least six units over the legal horseriding limit. You wake up the next morning to a castle in chaos. The Guardian has cast a huge spell, encasing the entire castle in blackrock. an indestructible mineral. The only chance of escape is to explore the castle's underground sewers for a way out. Although you're obviously not the first with your hand up for a knee-high holiday in sewage, it is suspected that there may be an escape route below.
The key word for Underworld II is 'freedom'. Nothing can completely prepare you for the freedom the game gives you (except Undenvorld I of course). It's about as close to Virtual Reality as you are ever likely to get from your mouse driver. Move the mouse pointer to the top of the action screen, hit the left button - and you're galloping forward; half-way up and it's an easy canter. Left or right with the mouse and you'll rotate. Down left or right and you'll whip round. Full at the bottom and you'll be moonwalking. Right button while running and you leap forward. When you turn, the world turns with you. Pixel by pixel. You can look up at the ceiling, or down at your shoes. You can shuffle along a wall and dart out of corner. You can sprint down tiny corridors or leap from parapets. You can fall down several screens into a lava pit or you can get caught in water currents, and be swept over a waterfall. You can wear a dress and call your character Jemima. You can stab spiders, hack humans, bash bugs, or alliterate like an arsehole. You can cast spells. Shoot arrows. Throw daggers. Break down doors. Smash open chests. Pick locks. You can run out of torches and be plunged into monster-infested darkness. You can be teleported off the map and into an 'ethereal void'. You can be poisoned, healed or cursed. You can barter for objects or just 'stab and run'. You can drown or be burnt alive by a lava flow. You can be killed in a million different ways or you can solve each puzzle in at least six.
I know all this sounds impressively bum-licky, but that's because there really is nothing you can do with this game except sit there, dribble slightly, and say "blimey" every eight to ten minutes. The graphics are stunning. On a 486 the dungeons can move like a film. The wall textures vary between red brick and granite to ice and swirl multi-coloured 'alternate dimension' style walls.
Add a soundcard and you'll have to throw the fabled word 'atmosphere' in. You'll hear your footsteps echoing, the snow crunching under your feet, the large (size 14D) footsteps of an approaching beast, the swishing swashbuckle of your sword, the clink as you miss your target and hit the wall instead, a greasy schlop as you finally manage to hit your foe, and then the "oof" as it, hours later, expires in an explosion of blood.
'Atmosphere' is what rpgs crave to create. Without it, they're crap. Underworld fl does it effortlessly. But. not it has to be said, as well as the original. Underworld. II. with its twenty or more levels, takes a lot longer to get going than The Stygian Abyss and there's a lot of empty space between 'excitement points'.
Gone are the hippy-trippy mushrooms, the mellow ankhs and mantras, the goblins with lisps, the dwarves with attitudes, the flute-playing ghouls. In Underworld II you have eco-disaster for Britannia, racist goblins who make a big deal out of you being hummie, and overall, a bit of a po-faced follow up. There's not a joke in sight.
This is because Underworld II is more in tune with the rest of the Ultima titles, having a darker plot which updates all the storylines of the previous games with the 3D system. Most people, however, are blessedly ignorant of the other Ultima games. Anyone who knows the entire history of Britannia is to be found at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, alongside train spotters and people who use the word 'quintessential'.
But you can only be picky about a quintessential product like Underworld 2. It's huge, it's state of the art and it's at least 72 hours worth of continuous play.
Soap Opera
One of the sub plots In Underworld II Is the castle's on-going soap opera. While you're bouncing around other dimensions, rescuing damsels etc., the characters caught in the keep are having their own little dramas. There's a traitor in their midst, so it's up to you to cast a 'Be Poirot spell and ask the question: "Where win you on ze naight of ze blackrock?"

Two ideas disturb me: storage units filled with things that are not used for months (or years) at a time and gift exchanges.
That's right. I dread the annual family gift exchange that involves buying something with no intended recipient, rolling a dice and ending up with a piece of plastic that no one wanted to begin with.
At Thanksgiving this year, my grandma passed around copies of letters from my cousin Jessica, who is volunteering with the Peace Corps in Panama. She wrote about eating two meals a day, consisting of a scoop of rice and a few kidney beans. She described her biweekly trek out of the mountains and into the city of David, where she collects her mail, picks up any items she needs and spends a bit of time at an Internet café. Then she hauls whatever needs hauling back up to her mountain home with a dirt floor. It takes two hours. She reported that she has never seen such poverty.
In lieu of gifts to each other, our extended family has decided to collect items Jessica requested for some craft classes she'd like to lead for the people in Panama. She asked for yarn, jewelry hardware and general supplies for the kids.
I think this is what Christmas should really be about. Who needs a countertop popcorn machine or a bedazzled phone sleeve when there are real human beings suffering in the world? How do you give back during the holidays?

The Rashemi, also known as the Rashemaar,[note 1][4] were a human ethnic group native to Rashemen and Thay.[2]
Most Rashemi were short and muscular, with a hardy physique. They commonly had dusky skin, dark eyes, and thick black hair.[3] Men were especially hairy and might maintain a thick dark beard; baldness was virtually unknown in their culture. Women often wore their hair long and elaborately plaited.[2]
Rashemi thought of themselves as inhabitants of a harsh and beautiful land ruled by spirits and rarely displayed the arrogance of other human ethnic groups. Children were expected to earn their place in the world, rather than having it handed to them, and they viewed life as a series of challenges to face and defeat. They placed a high value on individual accomplishment and strength, physical in Rashemen and magical in Thay. Elders were respected for their wisdom and mental strength. Rogues were very uncommon as little value was placed in the accumulation of wealth. Most young adult Rashemi traveled extensively for a year as part of a coming-of-age ritual called dajemma, resulting in a population with considerable worldly knowledge. Formal schooling was not emphasized because of the strong warrior culture in Rashemen and the subjugation of the lower classes in Thay. However, many Rashemi were still literate.[2]
Rashemi usually spoke Common and their national language. Within the borders of Rashemen, the national language was Rashemi, which used the Thorass alphabet.[2]
The Rashemi commonly prayed to "the Three"―Chauntea, Mielikki, and the Hidden One, Mystra. They also venerated many local spirits, unknown elsewhere in Faerûn. Other Rashemi might pray to the Mulhorandi pantheon or the four elemental deities, particularly Kossuth.[2]
The Rashemi were descendants of the nomadic tribes that were employed as mercenaries by Mulhorand and helped win the Orcgate Wars of −1075 DR to −1069 DR. They then forged the empire of Raumathar, which rivaled the Mulhorand and Unther empires in its day. In the centuries after, they fought many battles against the Narfell empire over the contested Rashemi tribal lands on the Priador plateau. Finally in −150 DR, the empires suffered a mutual defeat in a massive fiery clash involving an avatar of Kossuth and an army of fiends led by the demon lord Eltab. The armies of the Mulhorand empire quickly swept in and reoccupied the Priador plateau, and their descendants continue to subjugate the Rashemi of Thay today. For a time, Eltab ruled the lands of Rashemen, but the Witches of Rashemen aligned with the native Rashemi and the warrior Yvengi in −75 DR and forced the demon to flee. In the centuries since, Thay attempted to take Rashemen from the Rashemi many times, but were always repelled. By the late 14th century DR, the Rashemi were the most numerous human ethnic group on the Priador plateau of Thay and in Rashemen. Minority groups could be found throughout the surrounding regions as well.[2]

Is the heat getting to your plants, making it impossible to keep anything alive in your garden? Are your water bills getting a little too high as a result of constant watering of your garden? Do you have a sloping lawn that's eroding or difficult to care for? Consider implementing a Rock Garden in those areas to solve your problems.
You don't need to live in a desert climate to have a Rock Garden, although this style is certainly a good choice for hot, dry areas. Rock Gardens can have a desert theme, featuring succulents like cacti, or they can be more reminiscent of a rocky hill or mountain. They work particularly well in small and graded areas. Consider replacing part or your entire front yard with a Rock Garden to save on your water bills this summer.
Rock Garden History
Rock gardens were first developed in Japan and China, although these early versions often didn't include plants. Instead, they focused on interesting natural rock formations, almost like sculpture or bonsai would be used today. Rock Gardens didn't really start to become popular in the United States until the late 1800s. Most early US Rock Gardens were woodsy, focusing on alpine plants. Desert versions developed later.
Now, there's even a society dedicated to the Rock Garden. NARGS, the North American Rock Garden Society, offers information and tips for people who are really interested in learning more about the traditions of rock gardening.
Rock Gardens look particularly great with Pueblo Revival, Mission style homes, Bungalows, and Ranches. They also integrate well with Southwestern decorating, Rustic style, Asian or Modern décor.
Rock Garden Characteristics
Rock Gardens aren't limited to rocks alone. The rocks instead provide a natural looking landscape to house the plants you select. If the rocks don't look right, it doesn't matter how many plants you pile on top of them; the garden will never look quite right. As a result, rock placement is important. Place rocks in lines to create a grade. Stagger those lines slightly and vary the spacing so that they look more natural. Dig down into the dirt and settle rocks in rather than simply setting them on the ground.
Rock Gardens in general are very natural, integrating stone and plants to mimic the vista that you'd find in the woods, on a mountainside, or in the desert plains. While many Japanese and Chinese gardens use rocks in their overall design, they're really very different from a true Rock Garden. Japanese and Chinese style gardens tend to be very minimalist, whereas Rock Gardens are more natural and less restrained.
When it comes to overall design, Rock Gardens offer some distinct advantages. Desert versions require very little watering and will thrive in extremely hot areas. Woodsy versions do very well in wooded lots where many other plants won't make it. Because they're less formal and rely mostly on hardy plants, they don't require quite as much upkeep as say a Rose Garden or a Vegetable Garden. And this also makes this style a good choice for the novice gardener.
Rock Garden Layout
- Rock gardens can have a natural look with curving paths, or you can inject a little formality with straight paths
- Just about any material will work for the pathways. For paths that fade into the background, use gravel. Or try red brick or wood chips for a little color contrast
- If you go for stone, consider placing the pavers with gaps between them so that you can plant a little creeping groundcover in the walkway
- If you have a lot of small rocks or don't want groundcover to creep onto your paths, you'll need to edge your beds
- Rock choices are important and will vary depending on what kind of plants you want to use. Porous rocks are good for a woodsy rock garden with mosses and woodland plants. Non-porous rocks work better for desert plants
- Place rocks into the garden from largest to smallest, using the smaller pieces to fill in the gaps. Then place plants in the gaps between the rocks
Plants to Use in a Rock Garden
Plant selection is very important in a Rock Garden, although it might not seem like it at first. You can't just run to your local nursery and pick up a flat of impatiens to put in your Rock Garden. You need to select varieties that work with the type of rock you're using and with the type of vista that you're trying to create.
Most Rock Gardens use plants that are low maintenance and not so showy when it comes to blooms, so if you like a lot of cut flowers this garden style probably isn't the best choice for you. But again, your tradeoff is that they don't require a lot of upkeep, and they don't overshadow all of the work that you've put into placing the rocks into your landscape.
Perennials are good choices for Rock Gardens because they'll spread naturally as the seasons pass. All you need to do is thin them when necessary, and it's also fun to see where a new patch of your favorite plant has popped up.
Plant choices will of course vary depending on the type of Rock Garden in question. For a woodsy garden, combine mosses, flowers, and small trees or shrubs to create a natural vista. Some popular choices for a woodsy Rock Garden include:
- Baby's breath
- Blanket flower
- Dwarf conifer
- Iris
- Ornamental onion
- Poppy
- Rockcress
For a desert garden, succulents and desert plants need good drainage to avoid developing mold. Some popular choices for a desert Rock Garden include:
- Agave
- Aloe
- Cacti
- Euphorbia
- Lupine
- Sedum
- Thistle
Rock Garden Accessory Suggestions
- Furniture materials:
- Wicker
- Wood
- Glass
- Some accessory ideas to integrate into your woodsy Rock Garden include:
- Birdhouses on tall poles
- Leaf wood carvings hung on the exterior of the house or shed
- Place wooden benches along a long path as you'd find in a park
- Some accessory ideas to integrate into your desert Rock Garden include:
- Try some wrought metal garden art to add some vertical interest
- Use Southwestern painted tile pieces to inject a little extra color
- Use painted ceramic pots for cacti that need to be overwintered inside

Making money in property doesn't have to be a long and arduous process.
Take Nhan's latest deal.
He set some of his students a challenge to make $$$ through property in 30 days.
And, like the good teacher he is, he took on the challenge too.
To get started, he snapped up this little gem, for $320,000.
This was a good price, because the median price in the area was $384k.
How did he get it so cheap?
The secret is being an 'area expert'.
Nhan knows this area so well, that he's' able to automatically spot a bargain property…..and snap it up quick-smart.
Plus, he knows how to get deals – before they go to a real estate agent.
The purchase settlement date was 15th August.
And, Nhan on sold it for $405,000 – with a sales settlement date of September 5th 2016.
That's just 21 days from settlement to settlement – with a healthy approx. $60,000 profit.
So, what did Nhan do?
He did what all sensible investors do…
He went and bought himself a shining new Mercedes…
