This illustrated brochure presents basic information about the human brain. It describes how the healthy brain works, how to keep it healthy, and what happens when the brain is diseased or dysfunctional. The brain is divided into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The hindbrain controls the body's vital functions, such as respiration and heart rate, as well as movements learned by rote. The midbrain controls some reflex actions and voluntary movements. The forebrain enables thought and memory storage. The portions of the brain responsible for thoughts, sensations, and voluntary movements comprise the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The cerebral cortex, or coating of the brain, is where information processing occurs. The inner brain controls emotional states and perceptions. Structures connecting these major parts of the brain are dendrites, axons, and the axonal sheath, which acts as an insulator. Neurotransmitters help signals move from nerve cell to nerve cell. Neurological disorders that alter the brain's ability to function properly are listed. 7 figures.

When her mother, Midge, started showing signs of Alzheimer's disease at age 52, Sarah Leavitt knew she had to record what was happening.

"The Boeing 2707 was developed as the first American supersonic transport (SST). The SST was the topic of considerable concern within and outside the aviation industry.
"From the start the airline industry had noted that the economics of the design were questionable, concerns that were only partially addressed during development. Outside the field, the entire SST concept was the subject of considerable negative press, centered on the issue of sonic booms and effects on the ozone layer.
"Rising costs and the lack of a clear market led to its cancellation in 1971 before two prototypes had been completed.
"The Museum of Flight in Seattle parks its Concorde a few blocks from the building where the original 2707 mockup was housed in Seattle."

Meal Planning 101
Amy Campbell
August 8, 2006
As a dietitian and diabetes educator, some of the comments I've repeatedly heard from many people with diabetes over the years are "I need a diabetic diet" and "I can't figure out those exchanges. Just tell me what to eat." It's true that meal planning can be challenging when you have diabetes. The good news, though, is that meal planning has changed quite a bit over the years. In fact, there's no such thing as a "diabetic diet" anymore. The best "diet" for you is one that is flexible enough to fit in with your lifestyle and help you control your blood glucose levels. In fact, there are many different ways to help you eat and manage your diabetes at the same time. This week, we'll explore a couple of different meal planning methods that are available. Next week, we'll look at some more.
If you're a history buff, you might be interested to know that before insulin was discovered in 1921, the only way to "treat" diabetes was essentially by starvation. People with Type 1 diabetes were fed diets that were very low in calories, high in fat, and contained very little carbohydrate. Later, in 1950, the American Diabetes Association introduced the exchange system. The exchange system is still used today, although other meal planning methods, such as carbohydrate counting, have become more popular.
The exchange system is a meal planning method that divides foods into six different groups: starches/breads, fruit, milk, vegetables, meat/protein and fat. The foods in each group have specific portion sizes, and are all similar in calories, carbohydrate, protein and fat. You can "exchange" a food on the list for another food on the same list. For example, instead of eating 1 slice of bread, you can eat 1/3 cup cooked rice. Your dietitian figures out how many exchanges (also called "servings" or "choices") you should aim for from each food group for each meal and snack. The number of exchanges you need is based, in part, on your calorie needs, activity level and eating style. While some people find the concept of "exchanging" to be confusing, this meal planning approach is actually pretty helpful and flexible once you get the hang of it.
Another meal planning approach that is well suited for people new to diabetes is called the plate method. No complicated lists or counting is needed. All you need is your plate! First, start off with a 9-inch dinner plate. Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, carrots, summer squash, or salad. Then, in one quarter of the plate, put 3 to 4 ounces of lean protein (poultry, fish, lean meat). Fill the other quarter with a carbohydrate food, such as brown rice, whole grain pasta, or a small baked potato. Supplement your meal with either an 8 ounce glass of skim or lowfat milk or a small piece of fruit, as well as 1 to 2 teaspoons of a heart healthy fat (tub margarine, olive oil or salad dressing), and there's your meal! Pretty easy, right? The Plate Method is great for people with diabetes, but is also useful for anyone trying to control portions.
Talk with your dietitian if you're interested in learning more about either the exchange system or the plate method. Next week, we'll look at two different ways of carbohydrate counting.
my dietitian and i discussed the weight watchers and she said that it was the perfect diet for someone with diabetes. because it helps you keep track of your portion sizes and helps you to make better choices in food because friut and vegetables and less points so you can eat more healthy foods to stay satisfied and less junk food that doesn't stay with as long. the only problem i have with being able to stick with that diet is that we're staying with my in-laws and she puts bacon grease or butter and lots of salt in her vegetables when she cooks them.

I appreciate your insights regarding diabetes. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2000. Right afterwards I lost 25 pounds and guarded what I ate. After awhile I gave up the discipline and went back to the way I was eating before. I gained the weight and had to increase the Metformin. Recently I started being more careful with my eating plan. I have lost 22 pounds and have been able to cut back on Metformin and blood pressure medicine. I am walking 30-60 minutes every day. My blood sugars have been great. I am planning to make this a way of life and eventually get off the Metformin completely. I feel so much better!
Posted by: cgause58 | Oct 14, 2006 11:11 AM
Does anyone have trouble taking Metformin? One of the side effects is diaarehia, whichI get about twice a week. I then take an Imodenine pill to stop the diaarehia. Anyone else solved this problem. I don't want to give up Metformin because it works enough not to drop my readings to low like Glyabride did. I also take Byetta and have lost 14 Lbs.

what is the maximum amount of carbs type 2 diabetic should intake per day?
Posted by: karen | Mar 04, 2009 11:09 AM
Hi Karen,
Posted by: acampbell | Mar 05, 2009 04:05 PM
Hi Karen. I am the care giver of my husband Michael he is 41 and got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 5 years ago. I need help to know exactly the portions he should be eating, and what can we do to ease his cravings which some times are hell for him and we both get the sabotaging ball rolling. Pleas help us.
Posted by: Ileana | Jul 21, 2009 01:23 PM
Hi Ileana, It sounds like your husband (and you) should meet with a dietitian who will help him determine how many calories and carbs he needs (and who will also help with portion sizes). There's no one meal plan for diabetes that works for everyone — much of it is based on age, gender, activity level, weight, and food preferences. A dietitian can also help with curbing cravings (his cravings may be due, in part, to his blood glucose levels). Your husband's doctor may be able to refer him to a dietitian; if not, you could try calling your local hospital or diabetes center, or go to www.eatright.org and click on "Find a Nutrition Professional."
Posted by: acampbell | Jul 22, 2009 07:40 AM
Hi Laurie, It can be very overwhelming to find out that you have diabetes, especially on top of having high cholesterol. The good news is that a meal plan that's good for your diabetes is also usually a heart-healthy one, too. However, the best step for you to take right now is to make an appointment with a dietitian, particularly one who works with people who have diabetes. You need to learn how food affects your glucose and you should have a meal plan that fits with your lifestyle and food preferences. Ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian or check out diabetes programs that may be offered at your local hospital or medical center. You can also find a dietitian in your area by going to http://www.eatright.org.

I just found out yesterday that I have type 2 diabetes. The dr. also put me on cholesterol medicine. I'm completely confused because I don't know how to watch my carbohydrates and watch for food with cholesterol. Frankly, I'm afraid to eat anything. Please give me some directions as to wear to start. Thanks, Laurie

Posted by: NICHALE | May 17, 2011 05:23 PM
Hi NICHALE, I have two suggestions for you: One, ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian, preferably one who works with people who have diabetes. A dietitian can help you with an eating plan that's geared to weight loss, while also taking into consideration your diabetes, your food likes and dislikes, your schedule, etc. You can also check with your local hospital as they likely have dietitians in their outpatient department. The other suggestion is to consider joining a commercial program, like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or Nutrisystem. All of them have programs for people with diabetes, and you can learn more about healthy foods and portion control. As far as exercise, can you ask your doctor what kind of exercises are OK for you to do without bothering your knee? Perhaps swimming or some type of water exercises would be OK. You may be able work with a physical therapist, who could prescribe the right types of exercise for you. Again, your doctor could give you a referral.

I have recently been prescribed Metformin to help with symptoms of PCOS. I do not have diabetes, but have had problems with low blood sugar in the past. Would it be beneficial to follow a meal plan that someone with diabetes would follow since the Metformin will affect my the way my body processes sugars?
Posted by: Tracy | Feb 11, 2013 06:37 PM
Hi Tracey, Metformin is often prescribed to women with PCOS to help lower insulin and androgen (male hormone) levels, and to hopefully induce ovulation. Metformin works by decreasing the amount of glucose released by the liver and increasing the uptake of glucose by muscle cells, thereby reducing insulin resistance. It certainly could be beneficial to follow an eating plan that will control your carbohydrate and, if necessary, help you lose weight in order to further reduce insulin resistance. Think about meeting with a dietitian to get started on a healthful eating plan. You don't need to stop eating carbohydrate foods, but choosing the right types (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans) and controlling the amount can certainly be helpful.

Colman plays the doppelganger roles of Rudolph Rassendyl and Prince Rudolf of the mythical European kingdom of Ruritania. Rassendyl is spotted by Col. Zapt (Smith) and Capt. von Tarlenheim (Niven), aides to the Prince, and he ends up dining with his royal double who is, as it turns out, a distant
cousin. The next morning, however, the Prince lies in a coma, having been drugged by a servant in the employ of the Prince's brother "Black" Michael (Massey) and his villainous cohort Rupert (Fairbanks). Zapt vows that Michael will never sit on the throne and presses Rudolph to substitute for the
Prince, through the coronation if need be, until the real Prince recovers. Of course this not only entails weathering additional attempts on the future King Rudolf V's life, but also standing in for His Majesty in the business of love, convincing Princess Flavia (Carroll) that he is indeed her
Director Cromwell does a marvelous job in extracting great performances from his leading players, as well as carefully developing the Colman-Carroll romance, which is touched with gentility and poetic grace. Selznick was repeatedly warned not to revive this Ruritanian adventure, his advisors
telling him that the production was doomed. Selznick, however, didn't listen, and he was proved right: the film was a smash, enhancing the careers of everyone involved.
Voted Hollywood's handsomest actor (at age 46) the same year that ZENDA appeared, Colman is the essence of gentlmanly dash. He is matched by a true Hollywood princess, Madeleine Carroll, in what she would later call her favorite role. In additon to their fine work, the film boasts flawless visual
elegance thanks to Cromwell and ace cameraman Howe, the script by Balderston, Root, and Stewart is witty, literate, and lyrical, and Newman's sweeping, memorable score is one of that composer's finest. leave a comment

St. Joseph's Women's Hospital Launches $75 Million Expansion, Lead Naming Gift Announced at Groundbreaking Ceremony
TAMPA, Fla. – As a grandmother of a baby born prematurely, Elaine Shimberg knows what it's like to see an infant grandson in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and not be able to hold him during each hospital visit. As a woman, she knows what its like to feel a lump in her breast, anxiously await her mammogram test results, and later hear a doctor say, "You have cancer." As a philanthropist, she is helping other women in the community who may someday face health crises of their own.
Today, Shimberg and her family attended the groundbreaking for a $75 million expansion at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital in Tampa. During the event, officials announced that a lead naming gift from Elaine and her husband Hinks Shimberg is supporting the new Shimberg Breast Center that will be located within the 125,000 square foot addition. The building also will be home to St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, private patient suites and other amenities designed to better serve women and newborn babies throughout the Tampa Bay area.
"This contribution would not mean as much without the people who work inside this building, who will provide these women and babies with the most compassionate, high-quality care available," Shimberg said. "The philosophy of compassionate care goes back to the Franciscan sisters who started this hospital more than 75 years ago, and we want to help St. Joseph's take care of every person who walks through these doors."
The Shimberg Breast Center will include comprehensive diagnostic tools and resources, all conveniently located in one place and staffed by a compassionate team of professionals committed to the patients they serve. Services will include CT scanner, ultrasound, Dexa scan, digital mammography and state-of-the-art MRI.
The initial driving force behind the expansion project was the community's need for additional NICU services. While the 64 new, private NICU suites are beautifully designed to accommodate overnight guests -- complete with a full bathroom -- the new building will offer more than just comfort and convenience for new parents.
Private suites improve patient safety, reducing the risk of infection and patient identification errors. In addition, premature babies thrive in spaces where the environment can be adjusted to improve the developmental process and growth of each unique infant. The entire family benefits by having the opportunity to spend time together bonding. And the new rooms will have ample space to accommodate the latest high-tech and life-sustaining equipment.
"Babies who would not have survived 10 years ago are now living, thanks to advancements in medicine and technology," said Isaac Mallah, president and CEO of the hospital. "We're fortunate to be in a position to really make a difference; to save lives."
St. Joseph's Women's Hospital is also improving the hospital experience for women in the community with the addition of 24 private suites and space to add another 24 in the future. When the project is complete, all of the rooms in the hospital will be private, providing women with a more comfortable environment while they recover from surgery, child birth and other very personal health situations.
Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio, who spoke during the groundbreaking ceremony, shared her excitement about the meaningful impact St. Joseph's Women's Hospital's expansion will have on the community.
"The care that will be provided here will be nothing short of miraculous," Iorio said. "This addition will enhance Tampa's reputation for having some of the best medical care treatment facilities in the nation."
The expansion will include the following amenities:

Humanitarianism Is Not Enough
The Turbulent Decade: Confronting the Refugee Crises of the 1990s
The word "humanitarian," as it is now commonly used,1 is relatively recent; in many languages it does not even exist. The idea of a country or a people or even the "international community" having a responsibility for a particular people's calamities is also relatively recent and by no means universally held. Humanitarian action was originally considered to be an activity not to be sullied by involvement with political or military afffairs. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the original humanitarian organization, has preserved the distinction to this day. Other agencies, however, and particularly the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), have found that their tasks have increasingly involved them in controversial political and military activities.
The cold war restricted the UN's capacity for action in many ways, including both peacekeeping and humanitarian aid. When the frozen international structure imposed by the cold war thawed, numerous civil and community-based conflicts, usually involving ethnic or separatist groups, broke out in several parts of the world. Many of them created large flows of refugees and great human suffering. The UN Security Council, encouraged by its apparent post–cold war ability to agree on important decisions and by its unanimity in quickly approving the first Gulf War, launched a series of operations intended to deal with these conflicts and, if possible, resolve them. The success of such large, mostly improvised operations was distinctly mixed.
Sadako Ogata was appointed UN High Commissioner for Refugees in early 1991, just in time for "The Turbulent Decade," as her book is aptly titled. As she points out, she was the first Japanese, the first woman, and the first academic to hold this extremely demanding job. Although she had been a member of several Japanese diplomatic missions to the UN, she was a professor of international relations and at that time the dean of the Department of Foreign Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo. She was then in her mid-sixties. She had never been in a helicopter. She soon found herself in charge of large emergency field operations in several of the most violent and lawless parts of the world.
The Turbulent Decade is not an ordinary diplomatic memoir. For one thing the story itself is as fascinating as it is tragic. Ogata's descriptions of the fiendish complexity—human, political, military, and even philosophical—of the situations she was involved in are remarkable for their clarity. Her book is also a penetrating chronicle, and critique, of the UN in action, and of the political, logistical, and financial obstacles that bedevil emergency humanitarian missions and can cause the UN to fail both its workers risking their lives in the field and the people they are trying to help. In addition she provides a personal account of a courageous, compassionate, and thoughtful person who was completely devoted to the task of helping refugees wherever in the world they might be, and who became agonized at the frequent limitations on what could actually be done for them. Sadako Ogata's clear, quiet, and always courteous prose makes her descriptions more vivid and her criticisms, especially of the international system, more telling.
As high commissioner for refugees, Ogata had to deal with refugee problems throughout the world. Among them, when she took office, were the return of 1.7 million refugees to Mozambique; the fate of three million refugees from Indochina who had fled to neighboring countries, and 360,000 refugees who were to be repatriated to Cambodia; the more than two million people uprooted in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala; as well as asylum seekers from Haiti and Cuba. In The Turbulent Decade she concentrates on four crises involving refugees, in northern Iraq, the Balkans, the Great Lakes region of Africa, and Afghanistan. As she explains, the numbers of people and the strategic interests at stake in those places made them of particular urgency.
When Sadako Ogata took up her post at the headquarters of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva in February 1991, she had two main objectives. The first was to make UNHCR "quick, smart, effective, and adaptable to a fast-changing environment." The second was to act on her conviction that when the UN had to deal with governments or groups that were corrupt, brutal, or devious, it was not enough to take the high moral ground and condemn their bad behavior. She was fully aware that there are seldom, if ever, humanitarian solutions to humanitarian problems. However, she was determined that UNHCR must find more practical ways of dealing with refugee problems and, in doing so, become the most effective emergency mechanism in the UN system. Within a month of her arrival the tragic situation of the Kurds in northern Iraq presented her with the opportunity to work toward these goals.
UNHCR was already assisting 1.3 million Iraqi Kurds who had taken refuge in Iran when at the end of the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein took savage reprisals against the Kurds in Iraq for their uprising against the regime. Nearly half a million Kurds fled to the mountains in northern Iraq, where their suffering in harsh winter conditions caught the world's attention. The United States coalition forces launched a spectacular relief operation, "Provide Comfort," in this inaccessible region, and the nearly half-million Iraqi Kurds they rescued arrived at the Turkish border hoping for asylum, which Turkey, with its own Kurdish problem, was unwilling to grant. The US military was anxious to hand them over to UNHCR as soon as possible. As one senior American officer put it, "We know how to deal with logistics but not how to deal with refugees."
Ogata was well aware that, technically, these Kurds did not come under her mandate, since they were displaced persons in their own country, and therefore not refugees. She had no difficulty in deciding that they had to be helped nevertheless, thereby creating an important precedent. The other problems facing her were more serious. She was concerned to maintain the Kurds' security against future attacks in northern Iraq after the coalition forces left. She was determined not to establish camps on the Turkish border in which the refugees might be trapped for years, but to get them to return to their homes as quickly as possible.
Since UNHCR had no armed forces or other "security personnel" and its immediately available resources were already committed to dealing with other refugee situations, its deployment in northern Iraq was slow. The US was understandably disappointed with the UN's delay in taking on the responsibility for the refugees. However, Sadruddin Aga Khan, himself a former high commissioner for refugees, was able to negotiate an agreement with the Iraqi government, effectively creating a safe haven in northern Iraq and providing a legal basis for UN agencies to work inside Iraq. Saddam Hussein greatly preferred to have UNHCR rather than the coalition forces in Iraq's northern territory. By June most of the refugees had returned home, and UNHCR was heavily engaged in providing them with food, clothing, health services, and other necessities, and with winterizing their tents and other housing.
During this crisis, unlike those that followed, the main parties, including the US forces, with twenty thousand troops, the government of Iraq, and the Kurds, each for different reasons, were more or less agreed on what should be done. Ogata was determined to improve UNHCR's preparedness to deal with future emergencies. Her determination was to be tested little more than a year later in Yugoslavia.
The breakup of Yugoslavia led to an orgy of hatred and brutality on the part of different groups which was characterized by the savage practice of "ethnic cleansing." This was a process designed to assure Serbs, Croats, and Bosnian Muslims that each group would dominate the region in which it was struggling to establish its own state. Each ethnic conflict created thousands of displaced persons and refugees. By mid-1992, the world's attention was mostly fixed on the deadly struggle between Serbs and Muslims in Bosnia. Both the European Union and UN negotiators had failed to stop the bloodshed, and for the next three years NATO stood aloof. The responsibility for action therefore fell to the United Nations. The Security Council, unable to agree to intervene with force, eventually sent the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), a peacekeeping mission with a vague and largely humanitarian mandate, an arrangement wholly unsuited to intervention in a full-scale war. In an impossible position, UNPROFOR did what it could to help the victims, suffered many casualties, and was heavily criticized.
In former Yugoslavia there was no convergence of interests among the contending parties. For more than three years no effective international intervention force was deployed, and international action remained limited largely to humanitarian aid. By the summer of 1992, UNHCR was helping 2.7 million people in Yugoslavia's six republics. Almost by chance, Ogata found herself in charge of a huge and hazardous humanitarian operation, "serving," she writes, "as the 'fig-leaf' to cover the reality of strategic inaction." The International Committee of the Red Cross had been leading the relief effort when, in May, the head of its delegation was killed in an attack on a relief convoy, and the ICRC mission was withdrawn. This left UNHCR to lead a major logistical operation in an active war zone with two thousand vehicles and three thousand aid workers from 250 organizations, of whom fifty were killed.
UNHCR's road convoys were often blocked, threatened, or attacked—there were ninety roadblocks between the supply base at Zagreb and the besieged city of Sarajevo. To supply relief to Sarajevo, Ogata therefore had to organize what turned out to be the longest-lasting emergency supply airlift in history, with a total of 12,100 flights. The airlift was often the only way into and out of Sarajevo. Ogata herself, in addition to regularly visiting the war zone, was engaged in raising funds, negotiating access for her aid workers to beleaguered cities and towns, and dealing with the extraordinarily difficult local leaders on whose cooperation the operation ultimately depended. UNHCR was not permitted to operate in Serb-controlled Bosnia, at that time some 70 percent of the territory.
As a writer covering the Bosnian war, David Rieff, a highly perceptive and rigorous observer of humanitarian crises, developed a deep admiration for UNHCR at this period. "However ad hoc and almost incidental the decisions that led to UNHCR's new centrality," he wrote,
the agency underwent an unprecedented and astonishing transformation and, in a matter of months became what Gil Loescher, the historian of UNHCR has called "the world's largest relief agency." As one HCR official later recalled, "The preeminent role the UN and the UNHCR came to play in Bosnia was less the result of a grand plan than of the contradictory policies of different Europeans, the prevalent desire of the Europeans not to get involved, and a series of other fuck-ups."… The new structures were quickly put into place…. And the great powers would have their humanitarian fig leaf for nonintervention…. Mme. Ogata's decision had been a triumph.2
According to the OED, its original usage was theological, meaning "one who affirms the mere humanity of Christ."↩

Top-ranked recipe named "Banana Crumb Muffins"
Try this Banana Crumb Muffins recipe, or contribute your own. "FDBrunchColl" and "FDQuickColl" are two tags used to describe Banana Crumb Muffins.
"This muffin is awesome! I only put in 2 bananas, but that ratio worked out pretty well for me. I also added a little bit of cinnamon and vanilla into the batter. Put the topping on like 5 minutes after they've been baking! I tried it before I put them in the oven and they turned out kind of sloppy, but putting it on a little after they've been in there worked out pretty well. I can't wait to use this recipe again!"- averyb123
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Combine bananas, sugar, egg and butter; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups three fourths full. Combine the first three topping ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Yield:1 dozen

Chris Wragge 'Flattered' To Be Part of CBS Sports' U.S. Open Tennis Coverage
It's a double "homecoming" for Chris Wragge. The veteran WCBS news anchor is returning to sports, at least for two weeks. Wragge is getting a spot with CBS Sports at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships beginning Monday, August 27 at Flushing Meadow.
Wragge says it was "totally unexpected" when he was asked last month by Harold Bryant (VP/Production/CBS Sports). Groundwork had been laid by CBS Sports president Sean McManus, who was integral in hiring Wragge for The Early Show in late 2010.
"Sean has been great to me over the years," Wragge says. "This was a welcome home call.
With the blessing of WCBS executives David Friend and Peter Dunn, Wragge makes his first network appearance since the morning overhaul at the start of the year, and his premiere on CBS Sports.
Wragge is called on primarily as a weekend studio host. The move was necessitated, thanks to the ascension of Bill Macatee to lead play-by-play voice at the Open.
"What it boils down to is, you'll see more of me if there are rain delays," Wragge laughs.
But Wragge isn't joking when it comes to the CBS Sports brand.
"Obviously, it's just such an amazing franchise, top to bottom," Wragge says. "To be associated, and to be asked to be a part of any of their properties, I was overwhelmed and flattered to be honest with you."

Hussein, Hussein and Mohamed, Noorizan and Abd. Ghani, Awang Noor and Dola, Kamariah (2008) Visual assessment and factor affecting visual rating of human-made landscape elements in Wetland. Jurnal Arsitektur Lansekap, 2 (1). pp. 54-73. ISSN 1412-260X
Full text not available from this repository.

Visual quality of landscape is becoming an important element in eco-friendly design for nature-based tourism areas in Malaysia. However, the majority of the human-made landscape elements of nature-based tourism areas such as buildings do not harmonize with the natural environment and are considered as not eco-friendly in design. A study was conducted in Paya Indah Wetlands aimed to determine factors that affect visual rating of human-made landscape and to determine visual rating of human-mae landscape at the study site. This study used selected photographs of the human-made landscape elements in Paya Indah Wetlandsrepresenting different types of buuildings, park furniture, parking features, pedestrian facilities, drainage and signage. The scoring scheme for visual quality and landscape features was valued using the six basic design elements, namely, form, line, colour, texture, shape and space. Data were gathered from 100 experts using a structured questionnaire with surrogated photos, distributed equally among landscape architects and architects. The results of regression analysis revealed that the visual rating was affected significantly by the respondents' age, sector of employment and professional memberships in certified bodies. From the result, it showed that more that 60% of the respondents give visual ratings to the human-made landscape elements in Paya Indah Wetlands ranging from scores of 1 to 3 (means from 1.51 to 3.2).

Web Services Description Language
|Filename extension
|Internet media type
|Developed by
|World Wide Web Consortium
|Contained by
|2.0 Recommendation
The Web Services Description Language (WSDL pronounced "wiz'-dul") is an XML-based interface definition language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. The acronym is also used for any specific WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file), which provides a machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it expects, and what data structures it returns. It thus serves a purpose that corresponds roughly to that of a method signature in a programming language.
The current version of WSDL is WSDL 2.0. The meaning of the acronym has changed from version 1.1 where the D stood for Definition.
The WSDL describes services as collections of network endpoints, or ports. The WSDL specification provides an XML format for documents for this purpose. The abstract definitions of ports and messages are separated from their concrete use or instance, allowing the reuse of these definitions. A port is defined by associating a network address with a reusable binding, and a collection of ports defines a service. Messages are abstract descriptions of the data being exchanged, and port types are abstract collections of supported operations. The concrete protocol and data format specifications for a particular port type constitutes a reusable binding, where the operations and messages are then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format. In this way, WSDL describes the public interface to the Web service.
WSDL is often used in combination with SOAP and an XML Schema to provide Web services over the Internet. A client program connecting to a Web service can read the WSDL file to determine what operations are available on the server. Any special datatypes used are embedded in the WSDL file in the form of XML Schema. The client can then use SOAP to actually call one of the operations listed in the WSDL file using for example XML over HTTP.
The current version of the specification is 2.0; version 1.1 has not been endorsed by the W3C but version 2.0 is a W3C recommendation.[1] WSDL 1.2 was renamed WSDL 2.0 because of its substantial differences from WSDL 1.1. By accepting binding to all the HTTP request methods (not only GET and POST as in version 1.1), the WSDL 2.0 specification offers better support for RESTful web services, and is much simpler to implement.[2][3] However support for this specification is still poor in software development kits for Web Services which often offer tools only for WSDL 1.1. Furthermore, the latest version (version 2.0) of the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) only supports WSDL 1.1.
|WSDL 1.1 Term
|WSDL 2.0 Term
|Contains a set of system functions that have been exposed to the Web-based protocols.
|Defines the address or connection point to a Web service. It is typically represented by a simple HTTP URL string.
|Specifies the interface and defines the SOAP binding style (RPC/Document) and transport (SOAP Protocol). The binding section also defines the operations.
|Defines a Web service, the operations that can be performed, and the messages that are used to perform the operation.
|Defines the SOAP actions and the way the message is encoded, for example, "literal." An operation is like a method or function call in a traditional programming language.
|Typically, a message corresponds to an operation. The message contains the information needed to perform the operation. Each message is made up of one or more logical parts. Each part is associated with a message-typing attribute. The message name attribute provides a unique name among all messages. The part name attribute provides a unique name among all the parts of the enclosing message. Parts are a description of the logical content of a message. In RPC binding, a binding may reference the name of a part in order to specify binding-specific information about the part. A part may represent a parameter in the message; the bindings define the actual meaning of the part. Messages were removed in WSDL 2.0, in which XML schema types for defining bodies of inputs, outputs and faults are referred to simply and directly.
|Describes the data. The XML Schema language (also known as XSD) is used (inline or referenced) for this purpose.
Example WSDL file[edit]

WSDL 1.0 (Sept. 2000) was developed by IBM, Microsoft, and Ariba to describe Web Services for their SOAP toolkit. It was built by combining two service description languages: NASSL (Network Application Service Specification Language) from IBM and SDL (Service Description Language) from Microsoft.
WSDL 1.1, published in March 2001, is the formalization of WSDL 1.0. No major changes were introduced between 1.0 and 1.1.
WSDL 1.2 (June 2003) was a working draft at W3C, but has become WSDL 2.0. According to W3C: WSDL 1.2 is easier and more flexible for developers than the previous version. WSDL 1.2 attempts to remove non-interoperable features and also defines the HTTP 1.1 binding better. WSDL 1.2 was not supported by most SOAP servers/vendors.
WSDL 2.0 became a W3C recommendation on June 2007. WSDL 1.2 was renamed to WSDL 2.0 because it has substantial differences from WSDL 1.1. The changes are the following:
- Added further semantics to the description language
- Removed message constructs
- Operator overloading not supported
- PortTypes renamed to interfaces
- Ports renamed to endpoints
