How did life in the Nile River valley differ from life in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley?
Both civilizations were very structured. However, the Tigris and Euphrates were much less predictable than the Nile was and flooding was not as able to be as planned for i…n the Tigris-Euphrates Valley as it was in the Nile River. (MORE)
How are the Tigris and the nile river alike and different?
The nile is different from the Tigris and Euphrates river in some ways, such as their sizes because the nile is mighty and large also very long while the Tigris river and the …Euphrates are shorter and smaller that surround Mesopotamia. They are also different because you can predict when the nile river will flood and the other two rivers are very unpredictable. I hope this helped By the way I am only eleven years old😊😍😃😜😝😇😋 (MORE)
How did the flooding of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers both help and hurt farmers?
It hurt the farmers by flooding their fields and the farmers never knew when to plant their crops............. it helped farmers by giving them a close irragation and transpor…tation system for watering their crops and trading their crops for materials and other foods that they didn't have.This is how the flooding of the rivers helped and hurt farmers.

The Mighty Nile River
The Nile is the world's longest river, spreading over 4,000 miles. It weaves and winds through 11 countries. It is also one of less than 50 rivers in the world that flows nort…h, and Africans have long used it for irrigation and travel. Learn some more about this great river here. Read on to discover how it promotes the economic stability in northern Africa, where all that water comes from, and how it could be a great travel adventure.The Nile flows right through the heart of the desert. It has been the sole provider of water for Egyptians for literally thousands of years. Egypt is almost all sand, and water passing through that sand drains almost immediately after a rain, so there is little chance for people to collect rain. Historically the Nile would flood annually, leaving a large deposit of silt along the shores. These flood lands are where crops like wheat and cotton were grown. The crops are what led to economic stability of the regions surrounding the river. The Nile also supplies all the electricity to the country via dams.The White Nile is sourced in the Great Lakes Region of central Africa, with a lot of it coming from Burundi. The African meaning of White Nile is "No Lake," which refers to the fact that there is no lake source for this river. It is actually sourced from other rivers that find their origin at Lake Victoria. Some people consider all the draining rivers from Lake Victoria to be part of the White Nile proper.The Blue Nile is the larger of these tributaries. It supplies over 80 percent of the water in Egypt, even though it is much shorter than the White Nile. The water here originated at the source of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia. It is believed that the Blue Nile starts in the Garden of Eden from the biblical book of Genesis. There are hundreds of other tributaries to the longest river in the world, but these are the main two.There have been many attempts to come to agreement over the use of the water along the Nile River, but because of strategic and political interests in the region, it is difficult. The agreement that is made by part of the countries doesn't fit everyone. Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda have made an agreement, but Egypt and Sudan will not agree with it. It is still unsigned. In 2012, Ethiopia started a plan for a hydroelectric dam that will boost their economy substantially. Again, Egypt, and Sudan are in opposition to this because of concerns about a possible reduction in water flow to their countries. The Nile is considered "international" water because it flows through so much territory.For thousands of years, people have been traveling the Nile. You may face some complicated border issues, but you can travel the Nile along the Blue Nile from the Mediterranean Sea all the way to Ethiopia. Trains, buses, and ferries are available to get you back if you choose to do this. These countries offer great historical and cultural experiences, and you can get a local guide to help you along your travels. Avoid the White Nile sections due to political drama in Sudan.The Nile has always been and probably will always be a major part of the economy of northern Africa. It gathers its mass quantities of fresh water from all over the continent, making the continent of Africa just as important to the Nile as the Nile is to the continent of Africa. The Blue Nile and White Nile are huge tributaries to this wonderful river, and if you ever get a chance, you should travel and experience all the cultural and historical aspects of this magnificent river.The Egyptian pyramids were constructed close to the Nile because the stones that were used in the construction were transported by the river and brought closer to the site where the monuments were built. The Nile also allowed for easier trade businesses. Those two factors made the location perfect for such mass construction sites. (MORE)

Schuylkill River of Philadelphia
The Schuylkill River is one of the most famous river ways in the Philadelphia area. This river became the first scenic river for Pennsylvania and one-quarter of its waters are… considered to be of high or excellent quality. This river plays a vital role in the local ecology as a fish habitat and a huge source of drinking water. It is also famous for being the largest tributary to the Delaware River. Continue reading to learn more, interesting facts about the Schuylkill.The Schuylkill River forms a naturally made border between Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township in Pennsylvania. The river cuts through Fairmount Park, which was set up in order to help preserve the water quality of the river for the city's drinking water supply. The Fairmount Waterworks and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are located along the banks of the Schuylkill River. The watershed of the river is located within Philadelphia and it is extremely urbanized. There are many diverse neighborhoods, a business district, numerous educational institutions, and industrial buildings in and around the river.The Schuylkill Action Network (SAN), established in 2003, was set up to focus on improving the water in the Schuylkill River watershed. SAN strives to restore the river area to its original conditions as much as possible and to further protect the watershed as an important water source. It aims to promote stewardship and education, and focus on government and privet education and stewardship. SAN leads restoration efforts and helps raise and distribute money for river cleanup and protection projects. Thanks to the hard work of SAN, the Schuylkill River continues to be a source of clean water.A major concern for the urbanized areas around the river is flooding. When rainwater cannot be absorbed and it is channeled off roads, parking lots, and other hard surfaces, it can create washout conditions in the gullies used to direct water to the river. The river itself can rapidly flood due to the sudden runoff. In the populated urban environment, this can affect water quality, public safety, driving conditions, and general property values. This is why the Storm Water Management of the river is a division that is closely regulated and one that plays an important role in the health and safety of those living in the area of the Schuylkill River.Visitors and locals alike can find a great deal to do in and around the river area aside from the typical sightseeing. There are plenty of chances for hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, and exploring. With the 128-mile Schuylkill River at the very center, the Schuylkill River National and State Heritage Area thrived on the culture and history of the area. Along "the Revolutionary River," visitors can see the early steps that began the birth of the now great city of Philadelphia as they walk through history. There is always something new to experience as well as something new to see and something new to discover along this river.The entirety of the river is 135 miles in length and it borders on 16 municipalities. In 1979, it was declared a state scenic river and it was given the title of a state heritage area in 1995. The Schuylkill River has three dams along its length and they are the Flat Rock, Norristown, and Black Rock dams. The Schuylkill River Reclamation project, which was first officially started in 1947, is known as one of the most successful river restoration projects in the nation. The Valley Forge National Historical Park is a natural refuge of over 2,948 acres and it is located along 3 miles of the Schuylkill River.The Schuylkill River is one of the most famous river ways in the Philadelphia area. This river became the first scenic river for Pennsylvania and one-quarter of its waters are considered to be of high or excellent quality. Such great history is tied up in the waters and areas surrounding this great Philadelphia River.

Environmental Protection: A Profile of The American Heritage Rivers Initiative
In 1997, President Bill Clinton signed the American Heritage Rivers Initiative Executive Order, established to promote environmental protection through the restoration of rive…r environments, economic development in the river communities and preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of America's rivers. The Clinton Administration received 146 applications from 46 states seeking aid from federal resources to revitalize their rivers and riverfronts. Ultimately, 14 rivers were chosen to participate on the recommendation of the American Heritage Rivers Alliance.The American Heritage River Initiative assisted communities to accomplish the planned environmental protection work done both in the river and along the riverbanks. Communities were provided with national coordination of efforts, advocacy, education and monetary assistance. Each river was assigned a River Navigator, a federal employee whose aim was to coordinate local and state efforts and aid each community in tapping the resources necessary to meet its goals. The President's aim was to aid local communities with the following: restoring and protecting their rivers while attracting jobs and economic opportunities in the river valleys, initiating historic and artistic alliances along the rivers to preserve local heritage, cleaning up the water and the shorelines and providing support networks for emergency preparedness in the event of flooding or drought.Each community submitted a plan to the Initiative for consideration. The 14 rivers chosen were diverse, ranging from pristine mountain rivers to rivers in the inner city. Some were heavily polluted by chemicals and trash. Others were partially restored. Some stretched the entire length of a single river. Others traveled through national parks. Some included more than one river, and others included only portions of a river.The initiative was an ongoing effort, lasting up to five years in some areas. All of the chosen rivers were improved vastly. Some required further time and effort to meet the plan criteria. It was the intent of the program for the education, advocacy, protection and preservation of heritage to continue. Successfully gathering resources, community support and state and local support to continue future development and protection were considered mandatory.All communities planned to clean up their water and riverbank areas. Some areas set up agencies to implement plans to revitalize economies along the river. Travelers through the United States are likely to reap some benefits of this initiative, as communities made improvements to recreational potential along the river, habitat restoration and protection, walking trails and involvement of communities. The maintenance of agriculture, fishing and forestry activities, flood protection, watershed restoration and minimization of population growth were other problems addressed.As you travel throughout the United States, you are likely to encounter one of the 14 river areas chosen. They included Willamette River, Upper Susquehanna and Lackawanna Rivers, St. Johns River, Rio Grande, Potomac River, New River, Lower Mississippi River, Upper Mississippi River, Hudson River, Hanalei River, Detroit River, Cuyahoga Rover, Connecticut River, Blackstone and Woonasquatucket Rivers. In his speech announcing the winners, President Clinton remarked, "There is one story all these rivers share. The story of communities rallying around their rivers the way neighbors rally around each other in time of need or to get something done in the community."The American Heritage Rivers Initiative was signed by President Bill Clinton. The goal of the initiative was to help clean up, conserve, protect and meet community needs along America's riverbanks. Interest was keen, and over 100 communities applied for the program. A five-year long project meant to get communities organized and on their way toward environmental protection of their rivers was successful. A total of 14 river communities received assistance through the program and continued the work past the project's term.One of the 14 chosen rivers for the American Heritage Rivers Initiative, The New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, is believed to be the oldest river in North America and the second oldest river in the world, second only to the Nile. Scientists date it millions of years old, older than the mountains where it begins. (MORE)
5 Key Facts About Floods
To most people, the thought of encountering a flood is terrifying. It has the potential to take lives and destroy property within hours, and is notoriously difficult to contro…l. As one of the most daunting and devastating severe weather events, they are something that can be survived with the right preparation. Understanding key facts about floods can help people develop the preparation needed to weather one.According to National Geographic, the majority of floods develop slowly. Usually, local government agencies have warning systems in place to forewarn local residents as to when one is likely to occur. These warnings give residents the chance to prepare. The only examples that develop rapidly and without warning are flash floods. These usually come as a result of other severe weather events, and have the potential to take lives rapidly. As such, anybody that lives in a high risk area should always be aware of local escape protocols.On an annual basis, data is collected on floods and the damage they cause. In the U.S., $6 billion worth of damage is caused each year. Around the world, around $3 trillion is lost for coastal areas alone. The costs arise from damage control, as well as the economic impact that comes with damaged workplaces and lives lost. As a result of this, governments and weather agencies are always working towards greater prediction and control.Historically, they have supported agriculture around the world. In ancient Egypt, the post-flood impact around the Nile meant that land was fertile and perfect for growing. Similar stories have been told about the Mississippi Valley in the American Midwest. However, these benefits are far from universal. In most cases, they have the potential to cause damage to agriculture, and most farmers would prefer less unpredictable irrigation methods.One of the most deadly floods in history occurred at Huang He Yellow River in China in 1931. It is estimated that between 1 and 3 million people died. In addition to this, 80 million people were left homeless. Since then, the Chinese government have begun using control mechanisms, like dams and dikes.While hurricanes and tornadoes are terrifying to witness, floods kill more people than both of them. This is because hurricanes and tornadoes have now become easier to predict. The majority of these deaths are attributed to those that attempt to cross a swollen river or stream. The second highest cause of deaths is unexpected flash floods.It is thought that the risk of floods is likely to grow. This is partly due to changing weather systems, as well as a higher proportion of people living in high risk areas. Governments work consistently toward tracking and predicting them, as well as developing evacuation plans. Anybody living in an area of high risk should contact the local fire department or local government office to see what measures are taken when the risk is particularly high.The biggest flood in history has been tracked down to the states of Oregon and Washington. According to scientific analysis, it occurred 15,000 to 20,000 years ago as a result of an ice dam failure, and caused 600 million cubic feet of water to wash through the area per second. (MORE)

Before, During, and After the Storm: 5 Flood Precautions
While some areas are more likely to experience flooding, others can flood due to storms or even an ice blockage on nearby creeks or rivers. Flooding can also occur inside a ho…use, due to water lines breaking or hot water tanks leaking. Being prepared and knowing what to do can lessen the chances of damage or injuries from flooding. Here are five flood precautions for you to consider.Be sure you understand the difference between weather "warnings" and "watches." A warning means flooding is imminent or has already been reported. A watch means flooding is possible in a certain area. If you live near a waterway, learn where flooding has occurred before and how far you are from that flood stage. A battery-operated radio and flashlight are highly important items to keep in an easily accessible place in your home. Decide on a family meeting place away from home that everyone can easily find. Learn evacuation routes from your home and other places you frequent to the designated meeting spot. Always keep gas in your vehicle, as power outages may make getting additional fuel impossible.If flooding appears to be imminent, there are several precautions you can take to try and minimize its damage to your home and belongings. Fill sandbags, and line your property with them. Turn off all gas and electric lines, and unplug any appliances. If you have any dangerous or flammable chemicals in your home, move them to a safe place, and make sure their lids are sealed tightly. Gather all important legal and personal papers, seal them in a watertight container, and put it at a high point in your house. Move furniture and other personal items off of the floor as much as possible. Prepare a kit for your home which includes food and drinking water, first aid supplies and medications, and clothes and blankets for each family member. Do not forget pet food. In addition, keep a supply of waterproofing supplies in your home if you live in an area that floods frequently.If flooding does not cause immediate danger, stay in your home. Go to the highest level in your house, and try to wait for help. Never walk through water that is above your knees. If you are not sure how deep it is, never try it. It takes very little water to sweep your feet out from under you. Do not drive through water over a roadway. Again, the water may be deeper than you realize, and you could become trapped, or your car might get washed away. Never drive around police barricades, and always stay away from drains and ditches.Once water levels begin to go down after a flood, there are several precautions that should be considered. Always boil all drinking water for 3 minutes before using it again. Do not eat any food that has come in contact with the flood water, including fresh fruits and vegetables. If you notice a broken gas, water, or electrical line, report it right away. Do not use any electrical equipment while standing in water or in a wet area. As fascinating as it may be to observe a flood's damage, stay at home. If asked, help local disaster relief teams. It takes community participation to clean up after a disaster.If you had to evacuate your home, listen to a radio to hear when authorities deem it safe for you and your family to return. Inspect buildings for damages before you enter them. If you have access to a camera, take pictures of your damage for insurance purposes. Be aware of the danger of any standing water, as sewer and septic systems may have overflowed. Wait several days to turn on any appliance that has come into contact with water, and be very careful when you do.No one can be completely prepared for a disaster. But being as ready as possible for a flood will also prepare you for other natural disasters. A home safety kit can be used for power outages or tornadoes, as well as floods. Knowing your family has a plan will give everyone peace of mind, should flooding or any other disaster occur.If flooding appears to be imminent, there are several precautions you can take to try and minimize its damage to your home and belongings. Fill sandbags, and line your property with them. Turn off all gas and electric lines, and unplug any appliances. If you have any dangerous or flammable chemicals in your home, move them to a safe place, and make sure their lids are sealed tightly. (MORE)
A Look at the Longest Rivers in the World
While most rivers are rather small, only flowing for a few miles, some of the longest rivers in the world can flow for thousands of miles. There are some rivers in the world t…hat actually flow through several countries. By taking a look at these rivers, you can get an idea of just how large the rivers are. This may help you to understand why these rivers are so well known and important.The longest river in the world is the Nile River. It is located in Africa and is 4,132 miles long. The river has a series of tributaries and lakes that make up the Nile River Basin. The 10 countries connected to the Nile River Basin are Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, and Egypt. It actually starts out as two rivers: The Blue Nile and the White Nile. These join in Khartoum, Sudan, to form the main Nile River.The second-longest river, the Amazon River, is found in South America. It is 3,976 miles long and passes through seven countries. The countries it passes through are Guyana, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. It can grow quite large during the rainy season, reaching widths of up to 120 miles.At 3,917 miles long, the Yangtze River is the third-longest river in the world. It is located in China, and passes through nine of the country's provinces. It is an important river to China's history, culture, and economy. In fact, the Yangtze River Delta brings in as much as 20 percent of China's total gross domestic product.The Mississippi River is 3,902 miles long, making it the fourth-longest river in the world. The river, located in the United States, flows through or borders Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. It starts in Minnesota's Lake Itasca and empties into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans, La. The river is as wide as seven miles at its largest. It has a maximum depth of 39 feet.The Yenisei River is the fifth-longest river in the world. It is located in Asia and is 3,445 miles long. The river starts off Mongolia and flows through Russia before draining into the Arctic Ocean. It is one of three major rivers in Siberia (the others being the Ob River and Lena River) that empty into the Arctic Ocean. At its deepest, the Yenisei River reaches 80 feet.While there are many other long rivers around the world, these are the longest. These rivers have been extremely important throughout history in terms of exploration and development. Even today, these rivers remain important sources of water and continue to be major tourist attractions. It is because of this that these rivers are some of the most well-known rivers in the world.There has been some debate over the years whether the Nile River or the Amazon River is the longest in the world. The general consensus is that the Nile River is the longest, but there are those who argue that the Amazon River is longer. The reason that this is up for debate is that part of the Amazon River has yet to be explored. (MORE)
Why did the flooding of the Tigris-Euphrates river system benefit civilizations that existed there?
It helped because the floods gave them water, plus, it made soil fertile, and that could help food grow.
In what ways does the Indus River resemble the Nile Tigris and Euphrates rivers?
The Indus River resembles the Nile Tigris and Euphrates river because all three contribute to peoples lives and their animals and crops. also they are all a source of water pe…ople can live upon and drink from. (MORE)
How is the Nile's flooding different from floods of Euphrates and Tigris?
The Nile's flooding is different because the Egyptians could predict when it would flood every year unlike the Euphrates and the Tigris which flooded irregularly

436.205 Definitions. As used in this chapter unless the context requires otherwise:
(1) "Best interest" means that:
(a) The individual is physically capable of procreating;
(b) The individual is likely to engage in sexual activity at the present or in the near future under circumstances likely to result in pregnancy;
(c) All less drastic alternative contraceptive methods, including supervision, education and training, have proved unworkable or inapplicable, or are medically contraindicated;
(d) The proposed method of sterilization conforms with standard medical practice, is the least intrusive method available and appropriate, and can be carried out without unreasonable risk to the life and health of the individual; and
(e) The nature and extent of the individual's disability, as determined by empirical evidence and not solely on the basis of standardized tests, renders the individual permanently incapable of caring for and raising a child, even with reasonable assistance.
(2) "Informed consent" means consent given by an individual 15 years of age or older for sterilization that is:
(a) Based upon a full understanding of the nature and consequences of sterilization pursuant to information requirements set forth in ORS 436.225 (1);
(b) Given by an individual competent to make such a decision; and
(c) Wholly voluntary and free from coercion, express or implied.
(3) "Respondent" is the individual for whom sterilization is sought and is the subject of a petition pursuant to this chapter.
(4) "Sterilization" means any medical procedure, treatment or operation for the purpose of rendering an individual permanently incapable of procreating. [1983 c.460 §3; 1991 c.67 §116]
436.215 Legislative finding. The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that sterilization procedures are highly intrusive, generally irreversible and represent potentially permanent and highly significant consequences for individuals incapable of giving informed consent. The Legislative Assembly recognizes that certain legal safeguards are required to prevent indiscriminate and unnecessary sterilization of such individuals, and to assure equal access to desired medical procedures for these Oregon citizens. [1983 c.460 §4]
436.225 Obtaining informed consent. (1) In obtaining informed consent for sterilization a physician must offer to answer any questions the individual to be sterilized may have concerning the proposed procedure, and must provide orally all of the following information or advice to the individual to be sterilized:
(a) Advice that the individual is free to withhold or withdraw consent to the procedure at any time before the sterilization without affecting the right to future care or treatment;
(b) A description of available alternative methods of family planning and birth control;
(c) Advice that the sterilization procedure is considered to be irreversible;
(d) A thorough explanation of the specific sterilization procedure to be performed;
(e) A full description of the discomforts and risks that may accompany or follow the performing of the procedure, including an explanation of the type and possible effects of any anesthetic to be used; and
(f) A full description of the benefits or advantages that may be expected as a result of the sterilization.
(2) A natural parent, or a legal guardian or conservator of a minor child or protected person appointed under ORS chapter 125, may not give substitute consent for sterilization.
(3) Whenever any physician has reason to believe an individual 15 years of age or older is unable to give informed consent, no sterilization shall be performed until it is determined by a circuit court that the individual involved is able to and has given informed consent. Whenever the court determines, under the provisions of this chapter, that a person lacks the ability to give informed consent, the court shall permit sterilization only if the person is 18 years of age or older and only upon showing that such operation, treatment or procedure is in the best interest of the individual.
(4) Informed consent may not be obtained while the individual to be sterilized is:
(a) In labor or childbirth;
(b) Seeking to obtain or obtaining an abortion; or
(c) Under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect the individual's state of awareness. [1983 c.460 §5; 1995 c.664 §98]
436.235 Petition to determine ability to give informed consent. A petition for a determination of a person's ability to give informed consent to a sterilization procedure may be filed by the person seeking sterilization, the attending physician of the person seeking sterilization, or by an interested person concerned with the respondent's health and well-being. Such a petition shall be filed in the circuit court in the county in which the respondent resides or has domicile. [1983 c.460 §6]
436.245 Petition content. The petition for determination of ability to give informed consent for sterilization shall be executed under oath and shall set forth:
(1) The name, age and residence of the respondent.
(2) The names and residences of any parents, spouse, legal guardian or conservator of the respondent.
(3) A statement of the facts describing the respondent's alleged inability to give informed consent for sterilization.
(4) A statement of facts indicating the likelihood or unlikelihood that the respondent will have the ability to make an informed decision about sterilization in the foreseeable future.
(5) A statement of the reasons for which sterilization is sought.
(6) The name, position and statement of interest of the person initiating the petition or any person assisting the respondent with a self-initiated petition. [1983 c.460 §7]
436.255 Court hearing on petition; notice. (1) Upon such a petition for determination of ability to give informed consent, the court shall assign a time, not later than 30 days thereafter, and a place for hearing the petition.
(2) The court may, at its discretion, hold a hearing on the petition at a place other than the courtroom if it would facilitate the presence of the respondent. The court shall cause a copy of the petition and notice of the hearing to be served on the respondent and the respondent's parent, legal guardian or conservator, if any, at least 14 days prior to the hearing date. Notice is also required to the following:
(a) The spouse of the respondent, if any;
(b) The sibling of the respondent if there are no living parents;
(c) The system described in ORS 192.517 (1); and
(d) Such other persons as the court may determine have an interest in the respondent.
(3) If the parent or legal guardian of the respondent is not a resident of this state, notice may be served by registered mail or by certified mail with return receipt. If the residence of the respondent's parent or legal guardian is unknown, an affidavit so stating shall be filed in lieu of service. [1983 c.460 §8; 1991 c.249 §36; 2003 c.14 §247; 2005 c.498 §10]
436.265 Appointment of counsel; payment of expenses. (1) If the respondent requests counsel but is determined to be financially eligible for appointed counsel at state expense, the court shall appoint suitable counsel to represent the respondent at state expense.
(2) If the respondent is not represented by counsel and appears to be unable to request counsel, the court shall appoint suitable counsel to represent the respondent.
(3) Counsel appointed by the court shall be paid compensation, as provided in ORS 135.055. When the court appoints counsel and the respondent is without sufficient financial means to employ counsel, the compensation for counsel and reasonable expenses of investigation, preparation and presentation paid or incurred shall be determined and paid as provided in ORS 135.055. [1983 c.460 §9; 2001 c.962 §75]
436.275 Admissible evidence; subpoenas. (1) At any hearing upon such petition, the court shall receive evidence concerning the respondent's ability to give informed consent. Such evidence shall include, but shall not be limited to:
(a) Testimony from the respondent regarding the respondent's receipt and understanding of the information set forth in ORS 436.225 (1); and
(b) Reports from an interdisciplinary team of at least three professionals who have experience working with disabilities similar to those affecting the respondent. The reports shall:
(A) Contain specific information regarding the respondent's ability to give informed consent;
(B) Indicate the specific aspects, if any, of informed consent that the respondent lacks; and

(3) The respondent or the respondent's counsel shall have the right to present evidence and to cross-examine witnesses who testify at the hearing.
(4) Witnesses or other persons necessary for the conduct of the hearing may be subpoenaed. The person filing the petition or the respondent may have compulsory attendance of witnesses on behalf of the requesting party in the same manner as provided in ORS 136.567 to 136.603. The form of the subpoena shall be substantially as provided in ORS 136.575 (4) or (6), but shall describe the action as a "probate sterilization proceeding" and the appearance as on behalf of "the petitioner," or "the respondent." [1983 c.460 §10; 2001 c.255 §1]
436.285 Presence of respondent; waiver; medication. The respondent shall be present at any hearing regarding respondent's ability to give informed consent to sterilization, unless that right is waived by the person, personally or through the respondent's attorney. The court shall approve of a waiver only if the presence of the respondent grossly interrupts the proceeding or such presence is medically contraindicated. The court shall inquire at the time of the hearing as to the types and effects of any medication being administered to or taken by the respondent. [1983 c.460 §11; 1991 c.67 §117]
436.295 Court determination of ability to consent. (1) If the court does not determine by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent lacks the ability to give informed consent for sterilization:
(a) If the court determines that the respondent has the ability to give informed consent to sterilization, the court shall issue an order so stating and permitting the sterilization to be performed. Prior to the performance of the sterilization, the physician and hospital involved shall obtain the written informed consent of the person for sterilization.
(b) If the respondent refuses to consent to sterilization, the court shall issue an order so stating and forbidding sterilization of the respondent, unless the respondent later makes a different choice and only after a rehearing under this section.
(2) If the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent lacks the ability to give informed consent for sterilization, the court shall retain its jurisdiction and continue the hearing to determine whether sterilization is in the best interests of the respondent. [1983 c.460 §12; 2001 c.255 §2]
436.305 Evidence on best interests of respondent.

Are You Ready to See Simon Move on From Idol?
Simon Cowell is currently taking a break from his rigorous work schedule by enjoying a shirtless vacation in the Caribbean, amid rumors this might be his last season with the show that made him so famous stateside. His brother Tony recently revealed on his British podcast that Simon has decided to leave American Idol next year! Tony said,
"A press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of X Factor to US TV in 2011."
If that proves to be true, we'll still have Simon on TV but AI will be considerably different without the no-nonsense judge. So, tell us — are you ready to see Simon move on from Idol?

(Updates with oilfield details in second paragraph.)
Jan. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Iraq, the third-largest oil producer in OPEC, will boost output capacity this year to 3.4 million barrels a day and export capacity to 2.6 million barrels, Oil Minister Abdul Kareem al-Luaibi said.
Exports will benefit from a new offshore loading facility in the Persian Gulf that will go into service on Jan. 25, he said at a news conference in Baghdad. Iraq discovered an oil field called Al Deema 400 kilometers (250 miles) south of the capital in Al-Amarah province, al-Luaibi said today. The field contains "high reserves" of light crude, and workers are drilling wells to determine its size, he said.
Iraq holds the world's fifth-largest crude deposits that also include Canadian oil sands, according to data from BP Plc. Production is rising after stagnating for years due to wars, economic sanctions and a lack of investment.
Output jumped in December to more than 3 million barrels a day, the highest level for at least 20 years, and exports rose last month to 2.2 million barrels a day, Hussain al-Shahristani, the deputy prime minister for energy affairs, said on Dec. 22.
The first of four single-point mooring facilities planned off Iraq's southern coast will begin operating next week, Luaibi said. Each of them will add 850,000 barrels a day in capacity for exports of crude. The second mooring unit will be in place within six months, the third by the end of 2012 and the fourth in 2013, Shahristani said.
The government has granted 15 oil and gas licenses since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted former President Saddam Hussein. The Oil Ministry plans a new round of licenses for oil and natural-gas exploration on April 11-12.

Brief Synopsis
View the Executive Summary
In recent years, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has been widely recognized as a more dangerous regional and international terrorist organization than the original al-Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden until his death in 2011. In 2010-11, AQAP was able to present a strong challenge to Yemen's government by capturing and retaining large areas in the southern part of the country. Yemen's new reform President defeated AQAP and recaptured areas under their control in 2012, but the terrorists remain an extremely dangerous force seeking to reassert themselves at this time of transition in Yemen.

There's more to great coffee than choosing exquisite beans and the right brewing method. Freshly grinding the beans right before they come in contact with hot water makes the difference in taste that real coffee connoisseurs appreciate. The BISTRO blade grinder is the perfect tool for this. It's small enough to stay put on the counter for easy access and its cable can be stored inside the grinder at the bottom. It's got a transparent lid so the fineness grade can be observed, the longer the grind the finer the powder. This powerful and handy grinder is made from stainless steel, plastic and rubber and it comes in a selection of black and green. The bistro grinder can also be used to grind spices. We think it's quite cute.
Cup Capacity: 1
Features: Cord Storage
Number of Settings: 1
Grind Settings: Fine, Coarse, Medium, Extra Fine

improving struts performance

Hi all, maybe someone here can help me
I have a struts-based web application which access Oracle database, and run in Oracle Container 2
. It also uses Tomcat4 (yes, it is
version 4.1, although I -and my DBA- don't understand what's the connection between OC4J and Tomcat)..
I have serious performance problem here. Basically, my application contains multiple forms for each user, so I maintain this concept using HttpSession.
Now -CMIIW- maintaining a lot of HttpSessions will impact performance... But it seems no other way to implement multiple-forms-for-single-user concept
The session timeout itself is 30 minutes..
My application uses
- list of bean A, where each bean A in list will have multi list of bean B(I implement the multilist myself, using recursive algorithm to add or remove item, because this list will have 'leveling' for each bean B)
- custom tags to generate html for list above
- Javascript validation, which is generated using
, based on recursive multi list, and for each page, the validation itself may reach at least 2500 lines of javascript codes
- one HttpSession for each user (well, I've tried to check how many active sessions using tomcat manager
but I can't find the context path, I've tried all names under tomcat's ROOT, but none matched -any idea about the context path?-). During my google, I found that maybe this is them most significant performance issue, but I'm not sure
- access to Oracle database, where the machine in which this database exists give high I/O activity
My application need about 30 seconds to be displayed properly, and more than 5 minutes if branch office try to access it. Normally, application will be displayed in less than 5 seconds in IT Dept, or at most 2 minutes for branch office.
I've already give log at my application, and database access is not performance issue (it just takes lses than 10 seconds to retrieve required data).
So, what can I do to improve performance?

Before you can improve performance, you need to figure out where the performance problems are. If your code is doing a lot of iterations and generating large html files, then the problem is in your code and/or your design. You will not be able to fix the problem by tuning your session settings.
At a minimum I would add some performance logging into your action classes. If you action executes pretty fast then you know that the performance issues are either with the processing in your jsp or with the size of the html files you are producing. If the main difference between your "IT Dept" and "Branch Office" numbers is the network connection then that points to html file size. You need to rethink your "2500 lines of javascript code" solution.
I don't run in to many other people using OC4J (Oracle Application Server). Tomcat? Oracle uses Apache as the web server but you must have a special configuration if you are also using Tomcat.

This place wasn't too bad from the outside. Check in went smoothly and the manager appeared friendly at first. We got our room key and ventured up to the room. It took a while to manage to open the door but eventually we managed and BAM! The smell hit us. The room stunk like mould and a dirty nappy all in one! We went out very soon after and left the window open to try and air it to no avail. Needless to say, we stayed out as late as we could. The next day we had a full day which again was a relief but one of our days plans required us to print off our ticket, I thought 'why not ask the hotel manager, all other hostels, motels and hotels have helped us with this', WRONG. He firmly said no he wouldn't after I had specified it was only 2 pages...while standing next to the office printer and said there was somewhere 4 blocks away that I was able to walk to. I found this very poor, don't expect hospitality from this place. In the end our opinion was 'overpriced, incredibly smelly, old, unfriendly and again overpriced. The location is fine, not a walk into town but close to a supermarket, Laundromat and buses.

Pork and cherries pair beautifully together, and this dressed-up dinner entrée shows them both off to full advantage.
Soaking the sliced onions in ice water removes any astringency and leaves behind a mellow sharpness that doesn't over-power the salad.
Allowing the pork to marinate with the oil and seasoning ensures flavorful pork—30 minutes will work, but an hour or two is even better.
Don't like almonds or Gorgonzola cheese? Any combination of nuts and cheeses would be nice in this salad—walnuts and feta, pecans and goat cheese? Make it your own!

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The University of Kentucky is in talks
with a Tennessee real estate firm about taking over campus
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Tuesday that Memphis-based Education Realty Trust could spend as much as $500 million over the next several years to tear down and rebuild most of UK's student housing that now accommodates up to 6,000 people.
UK President Eli Capilouto said the arrangement could revitalize
campus housing.
The newspaper reported that the UK Board of Trustees is expected
to consider the first phase of the proposal in February.
UK has roughly $1 billion in construction needs across campus,
from dorms to classrooms to research space. UK's housing department has an annual budget of $30 million, but its deferred maintenance needs top $200 million, UK Vice President for Budget and Finance Angie Martin said.
