Conventional chewing gum generally includes gum base to which are added water-soluble sweeteners, for example, various sugars such as sucrose and dextrose, corn syrup, sorbitol and/or artificial sweeteners such as sodium or calcium saccharin, cyclamates, emulsifiers such as lecithin, mono- and diglycerides, and flavors. The chewing gum is generally prepared by melting the gum base, mixing corn syrup or other aqueous softener for 3 to 5 minutes with the gum base followed by the addition of solid sweeteners, for example, sugar, or sorbitol, and flavor and mixing for 5 minutes. The chewing gum is removed from the kettle, rolled and cut to the desired shape.
As the gum is processed as described above, it remains continuous throughout the entire procedure. The result is that the final chewing gum product is a continuous mass of gum base which envelopes the sugar or other sweeteners, as well as the aqueous softener so as to provide a matrix of gum base containing sweetener and aqueous softener.
The gum so-produced initially provides a desirable strong sweet taste which declines rapidly during the first three to five minutes of chewing to a very slight imperceptible level of sweetness. After about five minutes or less, substantially all sweetness is gone.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,894,154 to Graff et al discloses a center-filled chewing gum which includes as a liquid fill an aqueous solution having a dissolved solids portion, and a humectant for retarding increase in viscosity of the center fill. The dissolved solids portion may include invert sugar, sucrose and glucose, while the humectant is glycerine.
British Patent No. 1,469,031 discloses a center-filled chewing gum similar to that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,894,154 except that in addition to glycerine, the humectant may be polylimonene, sorbitol solution, lecithin, dextrose, gum arabic, glyceryl monostearate, polyethylene glycol or propylene glycol.
Upon chewing the above center-filled chewing gums, a relatively small amount of liquid sweetener is quickly released into the oral cavity and is consumed, almost immediately.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a liquid-filled chewing gum which delivers from 2 to 7 or more times as much liquid as center-filled chewing gums heretofore known. The liquid-filled chewing gum of the invention includes a solid phase and a releaseable liquid phase. The solid phase includes a gum base matrix comprised of a plurality of masses of gum base which masses are bound together by water-soluble binder, and having a network of voids or pockets distributed throughout the gum base matrix. The liquid phase includes a liquid composition, preferably including sweetener and/or flavor, retained in the voids or pockets and surrounded by the gum base. Upon chewing, large amounts of the liquid sweetener-flavor composition is released into the oral cavity.
It is essential to the practice of the present invention that a solid to liquid transfer occur, that is, for example, some or substantially all of the solid sugar crystals originally present in the chewing gum are melted or otherwise solubilized and leached from the chewing gum leaving behind a network of voids or pockets. This may be effectively accomplished by placing the chewing gum in a water bath, and preferably subjecting the water bath to a vacuum, to expedite leaching of the sugar crystals from the chewing gum. Within a period, for example, less than 24 hours, the chewing gum releases air bubbles and floats to the surface of the water and is found to be composed of a network of voids or pockets filled with water and is essentially devoid of water-soluble sweeteners.
The chewing gum is then transferred to a solution of sweetener, such as 40 to 70% sugar syrup, and allowed to soak in such solution. With the aid of mild agitation, and preferably under a pressure of from about 14 to about 30 psi, the water which is present in the gum base matrix is replaced by the sugar solution. The chewing gum product provides a unique sensation of sweetness and flavor (originally present in the gum base) release delivered by the large amount of liquid filling the voids or pockets of the gum.
Conventional chewing gums require hydration of the water-soluble sweeteners in the oral cavity to promote sweetness release. However, the chewing gum of the invention delivers the sweetener already in solution, thereby promoting immediate flavor release.
The chewing gum of the invention also delivers substantially more liquid or dissolved sweetener than the so-called center-filled chewing gums. Thus, whereas known center-filled chewing gums (wherein the center fillings are added through mechanical means) exhibit a ratio of 10 to 20% liquid center versus 80 to 90% gum base, the chewing gum of the invention having essentially all of its sweeteners in solution, exhibits up to 70% or more liquid versus as little as 30 % or less gum base.
As indicated hereinbefore, in accordance with the present invention, solid crystals, such as sugar crystals, are leached from the gum base to create voids or pockets which are subsequently filled with liquid sweeteners and flavors.
it should be pointed out that the solid crystals to be removed are preferably initially dispersed throughout the gum base matrix and not merely mixed with the gum base. Thus, the solid crystals must be dispersed in, enveloped by, trapped in and/or otherwise initially protected by the gum base. This is accomplished by mixing the solid crystals with melted gum base while the gum base is a continuous mass, that is before other chewing gum substituents are added to the gum base which might tear apart the gum base, as described in application Ser. No. 953,291, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,368 Aug. 12, 1980.
Thus, in one method for preparing gum base for use in accordance with the present invention, the gum base is first melted, emulsifier such as lecithin and the solid crystals, such as sugar crystals are thoroughly mixed, for at least two minutes, in the melted gum base (which is maintained at a temperature preferably not exceeding 200� F.) to effect uniform distribution and seal in the sugar crystals in the gum base.
Merely mixing sugar crystals with gum base and other conventional water-soluble chewing gum ingredients in accordance with conventional chewing gum manufacturing techniques will not produce chewing gum wherein the sugar crystals are sealed in the gum base. When such conventional sugar containing chewing gum is immersed in water, the water-soluble ingredients will dissolve out but the remaining gum base will not contain the desired voids or pockets required in accordance with the teachings of the present invention and thus will not soak up sugar solution or other solution.
The liquid composition which is retained in the voids or pockets of the chewing gum of the invention will generally comprise from about 40 to about 90% and preferably from about 65 to about 80% by weight of the chewing gum.
The liquid composition may comprise a sweetener solution, a flavor solution, or a mixture comprising a sweetener and flavor solution.
The sweetener present in the liquid composition may comprise natural sweeteners or artificial sweeteners. The natural sweeteners where present may comprise from about 20 to about 70%, and preferably from about 50 to about 65% by weight of the liquid composition. Artificial sweeteners where employed may comprise from about 0.001 to about 0.3% and preferably from about 0.1 to about 0.2% by weight of the liquid composition.
Examples of sweeteners which may be employed herein in the liquid composition include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: natural sweeteners, for example, monosaccharides, such as arabinose, xylose, ribose, glucose, mannose, galactose, fructose, dextrose, or sorbose or mixtures of two or more of the foregoing monosaccharides, disaccharides, such as, sucrose, for example, cane or beet sugar, lactose, maltose or cellobiose; and polysaccharides, glycyrrhizin, molasses, caramel, monoammonium salt of glycyrrhizin, mono-, di- or tri-sodium salt of glycyrrhizin, mono-, di- or tri-potassium salt of glycyrrhizin, and calcium salt of glycyrrhizin; sugar alcohols, such as mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol; artificial sweeteners, such as calcium saccharin, sodium saccharin, free acid form of saccharin, ammonium saccharin, aspartame (L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester), naringin dihydrochalcone, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, cyclamic acid, sodium cyclamate, calcium cyclamate, Dioscoreophyllum cumminsii (Serendipity Berry), Stevia rebaudiana (Stevioside), Richardella dulcifica (Miracle Berry), or thaumatin, with sucrose, mannitol and/or sorbitol being preferred as well as honey syrup, corn syrup, invert sugar syrup, molasses, treacle and liquid sugar.
Hydrogenated starch syrups, also referred to as hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, may be employed in the liquid composition and include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 26,959 or U.S. Pat. No. 3,556,811 as well as various hydrogenated glucose syrups and/or powders which contain sorbitol, hydrogenated disaccharides, hydrogenated tri- to hexa-saccharides, and hydrogenated higher polysaccharides, or mixtures of any two or more of the above.
The hydrogenated glucose syrups and/or powders may be produced by catalytic hydrogenation of standard glucose syrups (acid and/or enzyme converted) to the point where all the glucose end groups of the saccharides are reduced to alcohols, that is, dextrose end groups to sorbitol end groups. In the case of hydrogenated glucose syrups, the total solids are made of from about 4 to about 30% sorbitol, from about 5 to about 65% hydrogenated disaccharides (that is, maltitol), from about 15 to about 75% tri- to hepta-hydrogenated saccharides, and from about 10 to about 65% hydrogenated saccharides higher than hepta.
Examples of particularly suitable hydrogenated starch hydrolysates include from about 6 to about 10% sorbitol, from about 25 to about 55% hydrogenated disaccharides, from about 20 to about 40% hydrogenated tri- to hepta-saccharides, and from about 15 to about 30% hydrogenated saccharides higher than hepta.
Another example of suitble hydrogenated starch hydrolysates include from about 8 to about 20% sorbitol, from about 5 to about 15% hydrogenated disaccharides, and from about 2 to about 75% hydrogenated tri- to penta-saccharides.
The flavor portion of the liquid composition may include flavoring, such as sour or fruit flavoring or non-acid or mint flavoring in an amount ranging from about 0.3 to about 2.0% by weight, and preferably from about 0.5 to about 1.2% by weight of the liquid composition. The flavoring may comprise synthetic flavors and oils derived from plants, leaves, flowers, fruit, etc. Representative flavor oils of this type include acids such as adipic, succinic and fumaric acid, citrus oils such as lemon oil, orange oil, lime oil, grapefruit oil, fruit essences such as apple essence, pear essence, peach essence, strawberry essence, apricot essence, raspberry essence, cherry essence, plum essence, pineapple essence, as well as the following essential oils: peppermint, oil, spearmint oil, mixtures of peppermint oil and spearmint oil, clove oil, bay oil, anise oil, eucalyptus oil, thyme oil, cedar leaf oil, cinnamon oil, oil of nutmeg, oil of sage, oil of bitter almonds, cassia oil, and methylsalicylate (oil of wintergreen). Various synthetic flavors, such as mixed fruit, may also be incorporated in the liquid composition with or without conventional preservatives.
The chewing gum will include a relatively water-insoluble, water-impenetrable gum base in an amount ranging from about 8 to about 50%, and preferably from about 15 to 40% by weight of the chewing gum composition.
In general, the gum base is prepared by heating and blending various ingredients, such as, natural gum, synthetic resins, waxes, plasticizers, etc., in a manner well known in the art. Typical examples of the ingredients found in a chewing gum base are masticatory substances of vegetable origin, such as chicle, crown gum, nispero, rosidinha, jelutong, pendare, perillo, niger gutta, tunu, etc., masticatory substances of synthetic origin, such as butadiene-styrene polymer, isobutylene-isoprene copolymer, petroleum wax, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polyvinylacetate, etc., plasticizers, such as lanolin, stearic acid, sodium stearate, potassium stearate, etc., antioxidants, such as, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and propyl gallate.
The water-insoluble gum base may consist of any of the various bases disclosed for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,052,552 and 2,197,719. Typical ingredients included in gum base compositions are the following:
______________________________________ Parts by Weight______________________________________Base IEster gum 88Rubber latex solids 10Lecithin 2Base IIChicle 30Jelutong 60Gutta soh 8Lecithin 2Base IIIPartially oxidized chicle 98Lecithin 2Base VJelutong (dry) 80Gutta siak 18Lecithin 2______________________________________
The chewing gum may also include flavoring, such as sour or fruit flavoring or non-acid or mint flavoring in an amount ranging from about 0.3 to about 2.0% by weight, and preferably from about 0.5 to about 1.2% by weigbht of the final gum product. The flavoring may comprise synthetic flavors and oils derived from plants, leaves, flowers, fruit, etc. Representative flavor oils of the type described above with respect to the liquid composition may also be employed in the chewing gum itself.
The chewing gum may contain a sugar sweetener or non-sugar sweetener as described above with respect to the liquid composition. Where present, the natural sugar or sugar alcohol may be employed in an amount ranging from about 90 to about 0.05% by weight of the gum.
The chewing gum may also contain conventional ester gums, polydextrose, fillers, such as calcium carbonate, and texturizers, such as hydrated alumina, plasticizers, softeners or emulsifiers, such as lecithin, fatty acids, glycerine, glyceryl monostearate, hydrogenated vegetable oils, sorbitan monostearate, tallow, propylene glycol, F.D. & C. coloring agents, and other conventional chewing gum additives as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
In order to aid in retaining the liquid composition in the chewing gum, especially during packaging or storage, a substantially moisture resistant initial coating is applied over the chewing gum; the moisture resistant coating serves as an encapsulant for the liquid composition and may comprise a dialdehyde coating such as a glutaraldehyde coating or alginate coating such as a calcium alginate coating, or a gelatin-tannic acid reaction product.
A water-insoluble second coating may be applied over the first coating and may take the form of confectioner's glaze or shellac.
The following Examples represent preferred embodiments of the present invention.
A nougat gum having the following composition
______________________________________Initial Ingredient Parts by Weight______________________________________Gum base 17Sugar (Powdered) 60Sorbitol syrup 11Malto dextrin 4Yelkin 0.2Granulated sugar 6Flavor oil peppermint 1Flavor (spray dried) 0.5______________________________________
is prepared as described below:
One-half of the sugar (powdered) and all of the granulated sugar and yelkin are added to the gum base and mixed for 2 minutes. Flavor oil is added and the mixture mixed for 1 minute. The remaining sugar is added and the mixture is mixed for 2 minutes. Sorbitol syrup and malto dextrin are added and mixing is continued 2 minutes. Thereafter, spray dried flavor is added and the mixture is mixed 1 minute.
The chewing gum is cut or scored (not compressed) into cubes or balls approximately 3/4" in diameter. Pieces are then placed in a circulating water bath. When the pieces have risen to the surface (approximately 24 hours, indicating water solubles have been leached therefrom) they are transferred to a circulating 60 Brix sugar solution for an additional 24 hours during which time the gum pieces soak up sugar solution. The pieces are then dipped in a bath of calcium chloride solution followed by a bath in sodium alginate solution. The interim moisture-resistant coating formed of calcium alginate is then allowed to dry. The pieces are then coated with an insoluble moisture impervious coating such as a confectioners glaze or shellac.
The liquid filled product is found to contain about 70% by weight liquid composition which is quickly and easily transferred into the oral cavity upon chewing.
A peppermint chewing gum is prepared as described in Example 1 and cut into balls 3/4" in diameter. Pieces are then placed in a circulating water bath heated at 110� F. and a vacuum applied thereto. After about 3 hours, the pieces have risen to the surface and are then transferred to a circulating 60 Brix sugar solution maintained at 85� F. A pressure of 25 psi is applied to the solution and after about 3 hours, the pieces are removed therefrom.
Thereafter, an initial coating of calcium alginate and a water-impervious coating of shellac are applied as described in Example 1.
The resulting gum is found to contain about 70% liquid fill and has properties similar to the chewing gum of Example 1.
A sugarless chewing gum is prepared as described in Example 1 (except the gum is transferred to a sorbitol bath (67%)) having the following composition.
______________________________________Initial Ingredients Parts by Weight______________________________________Gum base 17Sorbitol syrup 25Yelkin 0.2Flavor oil peppermint 1Flavor (spray dried) 0.5Liquid FillSorbitol solution (67% by weight sorbitol)______________________________________
A chewing gum is prepared as described in Example 1 except that the interim or initial coating is accomplished through a gelatin-tannic acid interaction.

Hm, alright. I'm currently a junior at this school. I've been attending since my freshman year. My freshman year was smooth an easy. The school made it easy for me to transition from a middle school setting to a more mature setting. Though, I've had a bad experience going on after freshman year. Sophomore year, my grades dropped dramatically. The teaching habits overall were rushed, and the lessons were stuffed down our throats. Not only did I experience this, but the whole sophomore class was. They have senior leveled expectations from the jump, and I think it's unnecessary. I'm forced to go to this school cause I love near by, but if I had a choice, I'd go to Chavez in a heart beat. This school is a homophobic based environment, which is unhealthy for the LGBT community. People are bullied at this school every day and the school doesn't bother to do anything about it (though they notice and see it everyday). I don't recomend anyone come here, it's very rushed and not many students pass their classes due to the fact that it's rushed. PostScrpit: The school is very lazy at keeping the school website/other things updated.
I can rate the school not even 1 start but I don't have that choice. My daughter went there for one week and it was horrible the teachers are really rude, and there's a lot of bullying and theft problems and the school is not doing nothing about it, I was really concerned about my daughter she didn't want to go to school every morning, she was very scared, definitely not recommend this school to anyone, now she's attending to Cesar Chavez and what a difference, is the same district but a better school.
I am currently a freshman here at Fairfax. This is a great school on the students education. They care about the students education, thu tend to teach the whole student, which is also part of a IB program. The school provides many ways to teach the whole student, ie: they have a tutoring hour where the students go to one of their classes they need help in, & they have programs dealing with what that student needs to be taught. This school provides alot for any kind of student with emotional problems, financial problems, etc. The school is made fun of by those outside of the phoenix union Highschool district, saying Fairfax is made of punks, but honestly you don't see that here, until you see Cesar Chavez High school. Compared to Chavez and Fairfax, Fairfax is by far best in teaching the student and caring for them. I recommend this highschool, even though I am a freshman, I actually enjoy coming to school. This school keeps me happy.
This school has potential but they are not quite there. The students are allowed to loiter and there is high theft rate. My student and some peers have experienced bullying and theft. The principal, Dr. MUNOZ has no respect or concern for students safety. The administration does not return calls or follow up with parent concerns. The only positive thing they have going on is the IB program, which very few of the teachers are willing to put effort into their job. I want to recognize "Mrs. Baker" an IB math teacher for her dedication, concern and willingness to really teach the curriculum. She makes students accountable and has had a positive impact on the math department.
I'm currently a JR and I have seriously wasted 3 years of my life here. Every single year I've attended, I've gotten at least 3-4 teachers that have no idea what they're doing. Also, the security guards and honestly the worst people ever. They're not afraid to talk to students with disrespect. The students are horrible as well. Oh yeah, out of all my years being here, I've literally seen the principle about 7 times. Yeah, I'm not an adult yet and my opinion doesn't matter, but enrolling your kid into this school will be the worst mistake you've ever made.
Im a freshman , so this school is bad because when my teacher left they gave us a subsitute who cant teach and not only that did not provide the graphing calculators every other class had them but ours. Also the school spirit is bad the security guards show favoritsm and the principle says academics are good but its not they arent organized.
As far as academics, the school's great. The IB program is officially starting this year. Most teachers try to stay after school to help us out which I find great. However, the school environment is what I can't stand. Students here are very closed off and stay close to their own group/clique. We tolerate each other, but don't communicate. And the school spirit is HORRIBLE. On spirit days, it seems like my friends and I are the only ones who like to participate and have fun. Everyone's so uptight. Clubs don't get enough recognition, and some don't get far because no one goes to the meetings. I just wish I could go to another school...
It is extremely sad when the negative responses on this site is based from uninformed individuals. People tend more to complain than to give kudos. This school is focused on the student as an entire person, intending on rendering the community with a well rounded asset to the community. There is cultural diversity which is celebrated, a collaborative environment which does not tolerate boundaries, and a campus up well connected people that have a common goal...the students. This school will only set the standards and rise to any level that challenges improvement. This comes from the heart, and direct experience with the staff and students of this campus.
I'm currently a Junior at Betty H. Fairfax High School,. This school is very good at academics (IB Program) and athletics. Fairfax is considered a performing plus and one of the best schools is the PUHSD. Our school is currently growing at the moment with academics because its a new school, but is striving to build a better foundation for the students every week.
Prinicipal is extremely uncooperative and malicious. Teachers readily spread rumors and negate each others authority. Students are wild and out of control, due to no enforcement from security or administration. Academic expectations are extremely low, teachers ar merely urged to "rethink" their standards to have a higher pass rate. Parents are uninvolved and difficult with teachers. Overall the environment, student body, staff and administration and parents are disconnected and misguided.
The Performing rating for this school is solely from children that have transferred in from other districts and happen to be there during state testing. Teachers are not very motivated. Classes and instruction lack structure. Students are out of control in most classes. There is little to no homework. My children have attended one semester and will NOT return. I am very disappointed!
Parental involvement is extremely low. The students are treated like children instead of young adults. Many of the teachers seem to have come here because they did not succeed at other schools and do not like being challenged by the students. Great teachers are willing to listen and learn from the students as well as teach, especially at the higher levels of education. The principal is trying, but you can only do so much when the students and parents don't really care about their education.
This school lacks alot of well organized activities for the students. Possibly because it is so new, there is really no school spirit. Parental involvement is low. There have been several bomb threats in the last 2 years. The Principal really doesn't do much for the students and isn't very visible. While there are some good teachers, alot of teachers with 'bad habits' have transferred in from other schools. Had I known, I would have chosen another school.
This school has a lot of activies for teenagers. My daughter and son really like going to this school and coming home with straight A's. Teachers, Security Guards, and the Principal are great!
school is really nice based on that it is new and well built, however there are many problems with students. they need to mature and be treated like adults not like kids in middle school
Betty H. Fairfax is a well put together school. Whose students are very well educated. It is a Perfomance based school. So they Focus on attendance and how well students are academically. This school deserves 5 thumbs up.

Planet Asia - Leather Goose Musik
Artist: Planet Asia
Producer: Twiz The Beat Pro
Album: The Arrival
Avg Rating: 2.0 ( 5 votes )
A classier variation on the classic bubble goose jacket, leather goose finally gets its own theme song on the latest leak off Planet Asia and Doo Wop's forthcoming street album. On Leather Goose Muzik, Twiz The Beat Pro's eclectic sample work sets the mood as the Golden State underground stalwarts trade braggadocious, self-assured verses. The official prelude to Planet Asia's Black Belt Theater LP (dropping February 28 via Wandering Worx Ent. / Nature Sounds), The Arrival has yet to receive a drop date; keep it locked for the latest details. In the meantime, why not check out Asia's verse on Black Spaceships, a record released as part of last year's Booth-exclusive 20/20 Music Series?

Originally written on Mr. Irrelevant | Last updated 10/28/14
Last night, the Wizards blew an 11-point halftime lead to the lowly Raptors and were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth straight year. Also, Randy Wittman made this face (via @wzzntzz): After the game was over, but the face was presumably still being made, Wittman had this to say: "We did not come out with any focus. That is where this group has to, on the road, put a team away. All that work in the 24 minutes that you did is gone in three minutes. We stopped moving the ball. Everything was one pass. There was too much dribbling. I don't know why. There was no pace to the game. We had no movement, which was disappointing. To be up 11 at halftime and then go through the motions in those first three minutes let them back in it. We need that killer instinct, and we have not shown it." Wittman then rolled up his stat sheet and walked away.

Wonderful work. Brings me back to better times.
I'm not usually a fan of the fantasy genre, but your work is lovely
Your what is absolutely beautiful. Could you tell me how you do your work. The method I mean. Do use pencils or pens as well as your watercolours?
Yes, I'm using mechanical pencil to create drawing then redraw it with ink ( micron pens ) and then color it with watercolors. Thanks.
I think I've just finished fav'ing half or more of your gallery. Your artwork is stunning and it's wonderful to see Tolkien characters featured who weren't in any blockbusters. Thank for all of this loveliness!
Very beautiful, creative and inspiring art! Your wonderful work certainly deserves a deviantWatch!!
Your gallery is amazing. You have so many wonderful pieces. Your style reminds me a great deal of older illustrated fairy tales and I can't help but think of Arthur Rackham.
your works awake the best nostalgic childhood feelings, they smell like a glass of warm milk before sleep and they taste like spring pale honey - thank you for this miracle <3
So beautiful style.
The beauty!

School Integrates Facility, Building Automation Systems
Lincoln Nebraska's public school system is targeting a 5 percent reduction in electrical usage by integrating its building automation system (BAS) with its facilities management system from Archibus.
By integrating the online Archibus Reservations application for scheduling and tracking room use with the Tridium Niagara BAS system, the school system's facilities management team can track which of its many rooms are being used during the day, or by school or community groups at night, and shut down HVAC and lighting systems when rooms are vacant.
The district comprises 64 facilities and over seven million square feet of space under management. Prior to Archibus' online system, the school originally had a paper-based reservations system in which people would fill out a form to schedule the use of a school space: then a facility manager would determine what HVAC systems needed to be turned on in the buildings.

Last time, I created a PL/SQL package with a function that takes a Job as an argument and returns a REF Cursor based on EMP with those employees with that job. Then I created an Object Type called EMP_TYPE with attributes for each column of EMP, and a Nested Table Type called EMP_TABTYPE that is an array of EMP_TYPE objects. Finally, I added a pipelined table function to my package that takes a REF Cursor as an argument, and returns an EMP_TABTYPE table. With Oracle's TABLE operator, you can actually SELECT from a nested table as if it were a relational table in the database.
So, now we want to start an ADF application in JDeveloper and use my functions as the basis for a View Object (VO) in the Model project, and then use the VO to create a dynamic web page where users can see employees by job. I'll start with the application with its Model and ViewController projects having been created already.
So let's create a new VO. I right click the Model project and select New.
I enter the name, EmpsByJob, and set it to Read-only.
Then, I type the query. This is much like the one I used to demonstrate the table function before. There are two changes. First of all, instead of the hard-coded 'clerk' in the argument to the Emps_By_Job function, I have a reference to a bind variable. Second, I use the CAST operator to let JDeveloper know the type of data that will be returned from the query. That will help JDeveloper create the correct attributes for my VO.
Finally, I add the bind variable, pJob to the VO.
Here is the structure of the resulting VO, as seen in the structure editor. I also created an application module to hold my VOs, and a second VO called Jobs with the query, "SELECT DISTINCT job FROM emp". I'll use that as a look up table in my application.
Application Modules are automatically exposed as Data Controls, so when I start a new ADF Faces jspx file, I already can see my VO listed on my Data Control Palette.
There are several ways that I can put this on the page, the easiest being to drag the ExecuteWithParams operation onto the page and dropping it as a form. But that would make the parameter into a text field, and I would like it to be a drop down - a selectOneChoice in ADF Faces-speak. So I did it in three steps. First I dragged a panelForm onto the page, which is a layout component that puts prompts to the left and input or output fields to the right. Then I dragged the ExecuteWithParams operation from the Data Control Palette into the footer facet of the panelForm and dropped it as a commandButton. Finally, I dragged the parameter, pJob onto the form and dropped it as a selectOneChoice. This requires that you specify the list of values to be used in the drop down list. I use the other VO, Jobs, for this.
Now all I need is a place to display my result. I drag EmpsByJob1 from the Data Control Palette onto the page and drop it as a read only table. Here is the final appearance in the Design editor:
And this is how it looks running in Internet Explorer:
Just as simple as using a query directly from the table. Of course, if I were really just selecting from EMP by job, I'd probably just run the query directly against the table or a view. But if you need to hide details from developers, or your REF Cursor function is complex or you simply prefer to grant EXECUTE on a package rather than SELECT on a table, this is a good alternative. I hope this was helpful.

This is my favorite Oracle conference. It is completely devoted to people who make their livings developing applications with Oracle tools and Oracle databases, not just the original Oracle RDBMS, but also Essbase, Hyperion, My SQL, RDB, TimesTen etc. Very technical, little hype.
This year I'm the content chair for the ADF and MAF track. We're putting together a terrific lineup of speakers, so I hope you can join us.
October 25–29, 2015, San Francisco, CA
My second favorite conference. Oracle Develop is now an official Oracle OpenWorld Stream, but still features the same great content. Because this is Oracle's show, they send their best presenters, like Frank Nimphius, Lynn Munsinger, and Shay Shmeltzer.
April 12-16, 2015
Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center
Las Vegas, Nevada
I haven't been to Collaborate for a few years, because the best content in the IOUG part of the conference is very DBA-oriented, and I've surrendered my DBA hat. But if you are primarily a DBA or database developer, Collaborate is well worth your time.

We were only sorry not to spend more time enjoying the Swedish charm of the Grand Hotell.
The bar is the most pleasant and beautiful place in Uppsala for a drink or a sandwich!
No air conditioning - rooms may get very hot.
Both my wife and me really appreciate that, notwithstanding all recent renovations and adaptations to modern times, this hotel has saved most of its original historical flair, and this at a very reasonable price.
The design and the size of the room was very good.
It is a lovely period hotel located off the river in the centre of town. All the sites are within walking distance.
The weather was unusually warm and there is no air conditioning or fans. It was very difficult sleeping.
Some team-building would be an investment. Very few happy faces among the staff and that is not so nice...
athmosphrere, location, decoration, friendly service, views
hot rooms
We loved the location, right in the middle of the old city, right on the river. Also really enjoyed the hotel's classic, gentile, turn of the 20th century design, décor, furnishings.
We happened to be there with unusually warm weather, and without air conditioning, needed to open windows, and suffered from the street noise.
Catered superbly for gluten and lactose intolerance, thank you guys.
No tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Located in the heart of downtown Uppsala. Charming well maintained older house with high ceilings. Rooms a bit small but comfortable and with a brand new bathroom. Breakfast buffet good.
Bed mattress to stiff. Narrow entrance to optional parking space behind the hotel somewhat stressful cosidering my poor spatial skills :-).
Clean nice room. Great location. Terrific breakfast!
breakfast, good bed
older furniture
Superb service from all staff. The breakfast buffe outstanding
Very friendly staff, clean although a bit small room, and very tasty breakfast but that may be not all that uncommon in Sweden.

Love must be in the air for tabloid favorite Akon, whose new song Right Now (Na Na Na) has the hit potential to make past sponsor Verizon come calling once again. This first official single off of his newest disc, Freedom, due out in stores this November, finds the multi-talented artist urging his lady to waste no more of their time making up. While the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter continues to branch out as a complete artist, he again contributes his production skills to the track. Evidently, throwing children off of stages all across the globe has led the 35-year-old to incorporate a variety of unique flavors, including a Spanish guitar. Whether or not you're a fan of this catchy lil' ditty, you cannot hate on a track you'll probably be humming for the next few months.

SmartBear Software today announced the availability of AlertSite for Magento, a free plug-in for the Magento eCommerce platform that is available from the Magento Connect Marketplace. With this extension, Magento users gain basic website monitoring services, daily samples of browser performance and selective benchmark support for free. AlertSite is the leading website performance monitoring tool in Internet retailing. According to new global estimates by eMarketer, eCommerce sales hit $1 trillion for the first time in 2012.
"We are very excited to expand the reach of our website performance monitoring tools used by over one million users to communities such as Magento who are making the lives of developers easier," said Ken Godskind, VP Monitoring Services at SmartBear. "The Magento integration creates thought leadership and product innovation within Internet retailing, bringing extended value to this community."
Store performance can be a challenge and retailers need to leverage every online visitor. Site availability, speed and user experience optimization are crucial to online success. By using the AlertSite solution, Magento users can now improve store results by improving website performance and results including conversion, time on site, bounce rates and average order sizes.
"AlertSite for Magento integrates a view of availability and performance directly into the Magento console for free, providing valuable user experience information," said Marc Infield, President of California-based Infield Design. "Response time is key on any eCommerce site and the AlertSite extension is the simplest way to get objective performance metrics within Magento."
To learn more about the AlertSite for Magento extension, visit SmartBear at the IRWD Web Design & Usability Conference, Monday, February 11 – Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at booth #104.
The Magento eCommerce platform serves more than 125,000 merchants worldwide and is supported by a global ecosystem of solution partners and third-party developers. In August 2011, Magento was acquired by eBay Inc., and is now a division of X.commerce, Inc. (an eBay Inc. company).

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...
