ZF-15: Normalize line endings in Zend_Pdf
Most all line endings in our generated PDF documents use a single linefeed character (LF - 0x0A). However, in a couple of places, a carriage return-linefeed sequence (CRLF - 0x0D 0x0A) is used. Both are legal in PDF, but the single linefeed is recommended.
For consistency, change all occurrences of CRLF to LF.
Done. No visible changes for end-user.

Windows 7 has significantly improved the touchscreen experience. For example, buttons in Windows are now easier to tap with your finger, the touch keyboard in Tablet PC Input Panel is easier to use, new gestures make it easier to perform common tasks, and the redesigned taskbar makes it easier to access programs and files using touch input.
The updated touch keyboard in Tablet PC Input Panel provides a quick way to enter text on a touchscreen without using a standard keyboard. Here's how to open the touch keyboard:
Open Tablet PC Input Panel by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Tablet PC Input Panel, and then, in the list of results, tap Tablet PC Input Panel.
For more information about using the touch keyboard, see Using the writing pad and touch keyboard in Tablet PC Input Panel.
This version of Windows includes new gestures to make using touch easier. You can use some gestures, such as flicks, on all computers with touchscreens. The new Windows Touch gestures, such as rotate and zoom, require a touchscreen that can recognize at least two touch points at a time. For more information, see Using touch gestures.
The redesigned taskbar includes several improvements for touch input, including icons that are easier to tap, and the new Jump Lists on the taskbar. Jump Lists are lists of recently or frequently opened items—such as files, folders, or websites—organized by the program that you use to open them. Jump Lists appear for programs that you've pinned to the taskbar and programs that are currently running. The easiest way to view Jump Lists with a touchscreen is to use your finger to drag the taskbar button toward the desktop. You can then open an item on the Jump List by tapping it with your finger. For more information about the taskbar, see What's new with the Windows 7 taskbar?

convert mp3 to wmv for bookmark
Anyone know how I can convert my mp3 to wmv so I can play them through video and use the bookmarking feature that the Samsung bums did not put in??
It's the only solution I can think of.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Did anyone try the Firefox plugin Video DownloadHelper?
Video DownloadHelper is a Firefox plugin. It can save flash videos directly in many formats. The parameters can be specified and even pasted from the clipboard. Ideal for the quick download from youtube etc.
Here are the parameters from my clipboard:
wmv/-acodec wmav1 -ar 44khz -aspect 4:3 -b 340kbps -f mp4 -s 320x240 -vcodec wmv1
It did not work. But IF it would, it would be very fast and easy. So? Ideas?
The only thing so far to work for me is:
Using Microsoft Moviemaker and putting my mp3 on the audio timeline. Next, I created a black image in MS Paint and imported that as my video timelime. I expanded the image to fit the entire mp3 and merged that into a movie file.
I used - Video for Pocket PC (full-screen 218kbps) -
Next I used "Narvin's Method" to encode the file in the proper fool Samsung format.
Now I haven't tried any of my high quality audiobooks, the two I used were a pretty low bitrate. Either way the video is totally black and any high quality settings I put on will only effect the sound--I hope anyway.
This is the setting for my 4gb T10 (fw 3.06 US) using Windows XP SP3, viz:
*I use SUPER by eRightSoft to convert video files that T10 recognizes.
Output Container: WMV;
Output Video Codec: WMV9;
Output Audio Codec: wma2;
Video Scale Size: 320x240;
Aspect: 4:3;
Frame/Sec.: 23.976 (flexible);
Bitrate kbps: 576 (flexible);
Options: check - High Quality, Top Quality & Stretch It;
Sampling Freq: 44100;
Channels: 2;
Bitrate kbps: 128;
DVD Language Select: default.
When you start the encoding, a pop up box will appear, simply choose the 'simple profile'. When everything is finished, copy or cut and paste the file through windows explorer to your T10's VIDEO folder, and you're all set.
Leave everything else unchecked or as they were. The settings here worked for me from my .avi files to .wmv that T10 reads less any lag or synching issues. Some of the settings are flexible, you can do trial-and-error if you like and see how it goes.
VMW conversion (asf->T10 compatible wmv) with mac os x, which software works?
And thanks for the great help concerning the WMV conversion.Hopefully I'm not the only one using the Samsung T10 or an equivalent player with a mac computer (white one naturally) on this forum, as I'd like to know, which software could be used for the WMV conversion in the Mac.
I have some video files (in the asf container having WMV3 and WMA9 stuff) downloaded from the web that I'd like to watch from the T10. I'd like to convert asf files those in the mac os x, if possible. In addition, WMV would be most natural file format as the original files are also in Windows Media formats.
Compared to WME9, most Mac video converters (at least freeware versions) do not provide possibility for the simple profile coding (or I just haven't found this option so far), and the resulting file is unwatchable in my T10. Also encoding an svi file from the asf source has been unsuccessful so far. Otherwise, Kigo video converter would be my choice for the conversion.
I have found that the MPEG Streamclip combined with the WMV Studio plug-in from flip4mac gives a possibility to make wmv files that are watchable in T10, however the full version costs about $50.
Do you guys know any other freeware software that could encode the WMV in the Mac OS X? One solution could be the use of Super with the Wine emulator, but I have my doubts concerning this option. As the Super uses huge amount of well known plugins, maybe there is certain encoder that would do the job? All hints are very appreciated!
Last edited by teahonen; 04-13-2010 at 02:32 PM. Reason: Corrected VMW typos
asf->avi->svi did the job with the Kigo and ffmpegX programs
1) Firstly I converted the asf files to XviD (*.avi) files with the Kigo Video converter so they can be watched e.g. with a dvd player:
File format: Customized AVI Movie (*.avi)
Video codec: xvid
Video size: 384x288 (=original resolution)
Video bitrate: 1024 (for instance, original files are so low quality that this did not worse the picture quality)
Video framerate: 25 (PAL format)
audio codec: mp3
Audio bitrate: 160 (is this the highest bitrate accepted by the T10? It should be sufficient in the quality sense)
Sample rate: 44100
Audio channel: 2
A/V sync: basic (I haven't yet tested the difference of sync options)
2) Then I converted the avi into a new size and format with the ffmpegX that has previously worked very well, and gives almost the same options as the Super encoder: the main thing is to use XviD [.AVI] (mencoder) video codec (maybe thing works also with DivX codec?). Finally, the resulting file should be renamed with the .svi file ending. Hopefully this helps other people using the T10 with a Mac.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsNovember 13, 2013
The percentage of Class of 2013 seniors who had definite plans to enter the work force immediately after graduation grew by a fraction from the Class of 2012, according to results of NACE's Class of 2013 Student Survey.(See Figure 1.)
The same was true for the percentage of seniors intending to go to graduate or professional school, as this number increased marginally from 23.5 percent to 23.8 percent.
The reason for the increases—however marginal—is that Class of 2013 respondents were more definite about their immediate plans after graduation than were their 2012 counterparts. As Figure 1 shows, the percentage of graduating seniors who were unsure about their plans after graduation dropped between the Class of 2012 and the Class of 2013.
NACE conducted its Class of 2013 Student Survey between February 15, 2013, and April 30, 2013. This year, 37,874 students responded from 646 member institutions throughout the United States. Of these responses, 9,715 came from bachelor degree seniors who indicated that they would be getting their degrees by August 2013. This story is based on the responses from this group of seniors.
The Class of 2013 Student Survey report and executive summary are available at www.naceweb.org/surveys/student.aspx.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. Situated on the northernmost edge of the Mississippi Delta, the city has long been a musical and cultural magnet for artists from throughout the South. In the Twenties, it lured blues musicians eager to forge a living in the saloons along Beale Street. As the first stopping-off point for black sharecroppers and their families heading north during the Depression and war years of the Thirties and Forties, Memphis' musical culture was further transformed by transients with diverse influences and styles.
Sam Phillips, who worked at a local radio station, was the visionary who brought rock and roll into the world. Phillips opened the Memphis Recording Service in 1950 and in short order recorded such legendary bluesman as B.B. King, James Cotton and Howlin' Wolf. In 1951, he cut a single with Ike Turner's ban, featuring Jackie Brenston on lead vocals. The song, "Rocket 88," has been hailed as the first rock and roll record.
In July 1954, two years after forming his own label, Sun Records, Phillips released the first single by Elvis Presley. Pairing uptempo cover versions of Arthur Crudup's blues tune "That's All Right" with Bill Monroe's bluegrass waltz 'Blue Moon of Kentucky," Phillips found a combination he long had sought: a singer whose style seamlessly incorporated elements of gospel, country and blues powered by unrelenting rhythm. Phillips went on to discover and record new talent at a dizzying pace: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis all began their careers at Sun.
What transpired in Memphis changed popular music and ignited a revolution in popular culture. Despite changing tastes and ever-shifting trends, Memphis and Sun Records still embody the simplicity, the intensity and the individuality common to the most enduring rock and roll.

In one of the most successful seasons in the storied history of the Arizona men's basketball program, the Wildcats won 33 games, claimed their 13th Pac-12 regular-season title, secured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, advanced to their 10th Elite Eight and made their 16th appearance in the Sweet 16.
For the second time this week, incoming Arizona men's basketball student-athlete Kadeem Allen has earned a National Player of the Year award, as the NABC named him Junior College Player of the Year on Wednesday.
Following a season in which they helped lead the Arizona men's basketball program to a 33-5 record, a Pac-12 regular-season title and an Elite Eight appearance, Aaron Gordon and Nick Johnson have entered their names in the 2014 NBA Draft.
University of Arizona junior guard Nick Johnson added to his lengthy list of postseason honors on Monday.
University of Arizona junior guard Nick Johnson was the leading vote-getter on the second team on Monday when the Associated Press announced its 2014 college basketball All-Americans.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Frank Kaminsky carried Wisconsin to the Final Four with 28 points, including six in overtime, as the Badgers defeated Arizona 64-63 in a physical West Region final Saturday night. Kaminsky had 11 rebounds and scored from all over, including three 3 pointers, for the No. 2 seed Badgers (30-7). It's Wisconsin's first Final Four appearance since 2000, and first for 69-year-old coach Bo Ryan, who earned his 704th career victory. Nick Johnson had the ball with a chance to win, but he missed a shot that came just after the buzzer for Arizona (33-5), the top-seeded team that has yet to win a West Region final in Anaheim in four tries. Johnson led the Wildcats with 16 points, and Aaron Gordon had 18 rebounds in the relentlessly physical game. Johnson stood with his hands on his hips, staring straight ahead, while Kaminsky and the rest of the Badgers rushed to celebrate. Traevon Jackson added 10 points for the Badgers, and Kaminsky was chosen as most outstanding player of the West Region. Kaleb Tarczewski scored 12 points and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 10 points for the Wildcats, who were trying to get coach Sean Miller to the Final Four for his first time. Instead, Miller was sent to the sidelines on the same day his younger brother Archie's Dayton Flyers lost to Florida in the South Region final. The first 40 minutes were a back-and-forth struggle between the only 1-2 seeds remaining in the regionals, with neither team leading by more than three points over the final 12:09 of regulation. Overtime was even more dramatic, with Arizona having an answer for just about everything Wisconsin did. Ben Brust hit a 3-pointer to put the Badgers up at the start of the extra session; Gordon answered with a 3 to tie it up again at 57. Kaminsky scored inside and Gordon dunked at the other end for another tie. Kaminsky's jumper and a free throw
Making its second Elite Eight appearance in the last four years, top-seeded Arizona will face Wisconsin on Saturday looking to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2001; Sean Miller is making his third Elite Eight appearance as a head coach.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Nick Johnson scored all of his 15 points in the last 2:45, after missing his first 10 shots, and Arizona rallied to beat San Diego State 70-64 Thursday night and advance to the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 15 points each for the top-seeded Wildcats (33-4). They next play Wisconsin in the West Regional final Saturday. Xavier Thames scored 25 points and Dwayne Polee added 13 points for the Aztecs (31-5). Those two tried to bail out SDSU in the final minute, each hitting 3-pointers before Thames' basket cut the deficit to 65-61 with 38 seconds left. The drama wasn't over yet in a game featuring tenacious defense and rabid intensity by both teams. SDSU got called for a 10-second violation, and the Wildcats regained the ball. Johnson got fouled and made both for a 67-61 lead with 26 seconds to go. Thames got fouled on a 3-point attempt, and he sank all three shots to leave SDSU trailing 67-64. The Aztecs had Johnson trapped near their bench, but he passed out of the double team and Gabe York got fouled at the other end. He missed the first and made the second, keeping Arizona ahead 68-64. Thames missed, and Johnson went to the line again where he ended the scoring with two free throws. Hollis-Jefferson fouled out with 4:42 to play, but Johnson made his first basket a couple minutes later and carried the Wildcats across the finish line after they trailed much of the second half. Arizona coach Sean Miller joined his brother Archie in the final eight. The younger Miller coached Dayton to an 82-72 victory over Stanford of the Pac-12 in the South Regional semifinals. The Aztecs controlled the boards 37-29, with three of them often battling at once on the defensive end. Josh Davis had 14 rebounds for SDSU. Johnson, the Pac-12 player of the year, finished 2 of 12 from the field, but
University of Arizona junior guard Nick Johnson was recognized for his standout 2013-14 season by Division I coaches from around the nation on Wednesday when he was named a first-team All-American by the NABC.
Making its third Sweet 16 appearance in the last four years, top-seeded Arizona heads to Anaheim to face a San Diego State team it bested in a tight matchup at Viejas Arena back in November.
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 18 points each, and Arizona looked every bit the No. 1 seed in the West while blowing out Gonzaga 84-61 on Sunday. After four days of upsets and buzzer beaters, Arizona (32-4) closed out the NCAA tournament's first weekend with a display of domination. The Wildcats harassed the eighth-seeded Bulldogs (29-7) into 21 turnovers - 15 on steals - that led to 26 points. Arizona led by 21 in the first half and continued to work over Gonzaga to earn its third trip to the Sweet 16 in four years. Up next for the Wildcats is a trip up the coast to Anaheim, where they'll meet San Diego State, a team they beat in this same arena early in the season. Przemek Karnowski scored 14 points and Kevin Pangos added 12 for Gonzaga.

ZF-8324: Zend_Session::regenerateId() always destroys the current session record, with no option not to
Zend_Session::regenerateId() is basically a wrapper for PHP's session_regenerate_id(). However, the PHP function provides a boolean option for "Whether to delete the old associated session file or not. Defaults to FALSE." whereas the ZF wrapper defaults to true - and removes the option.
This has the effect of calling the session save handler's destroy() method whenever the session ID is reset. This may be fine if you're using files, but if you're using DB session storage like we are, you may not need or want your session rows to be deleted every time.
I'd like this to be an option, as PHP has it, rather than hardwired to what is the wrong setting for us and probably other users of DB session persistence as well.
I must say that I absolutely agree with this issue. I gave up on using regenerateId() for now as it was actually deleting the row on my database, making the user not viewable by himself at each page loading.
I might overload regenerateId() as I extended Zend_Session class and Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable for my DB purposes.
Good point.
Ok... my bad, I have just figured out that Zend_Session had some private vars, which makes quite impossible to extend it!
Is this still an issue? I notice that regenerateId() still forces a delete on the old session, without ability to override that behavior.
At this late stage in ZFv1's lifecycle it is unlikely that we could fix this issue in a way which preserves backwards-compatibility. Closing as won't fix.

No one can accuse Vivek Kundra of not hitting the ground running. In the six months since his appointment as federal CIO, Kundra is seemingly everywhere, making the case for radically changing how the federal government uses technology and launching initiatives aimed at nudging his vision closer to reality.
He's been the subject of high-profile coverage in The New York Times, The Washington Post and InformationWeek. And Kundra's speaking schedule has been equally hectic, including recent appearances at Wired magazine's Disruptive by Design conference and the National Defense University's Cloud Computing Symposium.
Government Technology spoke with Kundra in mid-July, just days after he unveiled a new online IT dashboard that tracks the status of technology deployments in federal agencies. Kundra predicted the tool - part of a revamped USAspending.gov transparency Web site - would hold agencies more accountable for the performance of IT investments. Since then, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has temporarily halted 45 overbudget or behind-schedule IT projects that were identified by the dashboard.
Kundra also talked about how he intends to make it easier for federal agencies to adopt cloud-computing applications - and how the cloud-computing model could invite better collaboration among federal, state and local governments. Here's what he had to say:
What's your top priority at this moment?
From an IT perspective, one of the key areas we're focused on is leveraging the power of technology to fundamentally change the way agencies operate. Part of that involves making sure the $76 billion the U.S. government spends is managed properly and that we make the tough choices in terms of divesting from programs and projects that don't perform and investing in ones that perform and yield the dividends they promised in the very beginning.
Video: Federal CIO Vivek Kundra explains why his move to cloud computing is good for state and local governments.
How will you do that?
When you look at an organization like the U.S. government that has more than 10,000 systems, a key focus has to be about ensuring we lay a new foundation built on the principles of transparency, accountability and open government. So with that, what we've done is launched the IT dashboard as part of USAspending.gov. Then-Sen. Obama actually introduced the bill [the Obama-Coburn 2006 Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act] around transparency of the federal budget. The dashboard itself actually moves us away from the era of faceless accountability to where we know who is responsible for the IT projects, how they are performing, whether they are over budget or behind schedule. All of that data is made publically available. So we can hold agencies accountable for how those projects perform.
What do you believe the impact of doing that will be?
We're already seeing a huge impact. The moment we went live, we saw massive change in terms of agencies. CIOs and project managers across the board were giving us better and cleaner data at a more regular interval. We went from getting data from an annual to quarterly basis, and now we get it on a monthly basis and are moving toward real time. Second, we are already seeing agencies, such as Veterans Affairs, which is shortly going to announce the number of IT projects that they're looking at and are making sure these projects are being temporarily put on hold that don't produce the dividends. Agencies across the board are examining their entire portfolio line by line, making sure they are properly managed. And if they are behind schedule or over budget, they are getting to the root cause

Lucky Country is a brand licorice I see around often. I haven't bought their black licorice and strawberry licorice to review for the blog yet. To be fair I should, but I haven't been in a big licorice mood recently. This will probably sound strange since I am reviewing some licorice today, but it was the flavor of this licorice that was the deciding factor to buy it. I have a favorite yogurt brand that makes a Marionberry flavor that I really love, so I was excited to see it in licorice form.
I have to star this review buy saying that I got a strange comment about these from the cashier when I was buying them. She picked up the bag to scan it and comment "Oooh, these. These are interesting". She said this in a tone that was not cheerful or happy. I laughed and asked her what she meant, and she replied "You'll know when you taste them". I also found that comment odd, and shrugged it off thinking she obviously wasn't a fan. I didn't realize that I was going to completely agree with her.
When I took the candy to photograph it, opening the bag was very informative to what the cashier said. The licorice is a very deep purple color and smells like flowers. Not perfume, but flowers. There's something very sweet and floral about it. It's hard to lay my finger on it. It kinda reminds me of "grandma" bath soap. It's an interesting smell to say the least.
The pieces of licorice look nice at least. They're like obese Twizzlers. They have a swizzle swirl to them and come in shirt, thick pieces.
The flavor is….similar to the smell. There's a slight berry flavor hidden in there, but it only shows up once in a while. The rest of it is this overpowering floral taste. It reminds me of a flower scratch and sniff sticker. It's really strange. I couldn't even eat it, I had to spit this one out. Gross.
I wish I could comment on the texture of this, but I was so focused on the strange flavor that I couldn't even have a thought on it.
So this licorice was a real gross find. I couldn't even eat the one piece I had to taste. I feel really bad saying this, since this is my first Lucky Country review and I know that their other flavors are nice (I've had them at trade shows). I really feel like I should get other flavors now just to redeem their brand for my blog. As far as this flavor goes, it's really best to avoid it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OTRChef Excellent For Baking Artisan Breads I've been baking Artisan bread 2-3 times a week and this porcelain baker is perfect. I will buy at least one or two more. The fact that it is covered means you will not have to steam your oven to get a crunchy crust on your breads. You can also let the loaf rise in the baker; no need to preheat the baker! You can see from the picture that it bakes bread perfectly. Making Artisan breads was never easier. Just 5 minutes of prep with no kneading. Recipes for making these breads can be found on my website FoodFamtastic. May 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zihrena Fantastic, perfect, very cute! I own two of these covered bakers already! And, the reason I'm writing a review is that I wanted to purchased another one, that's how much I love them. I have two elderly couples who live across the street from me, and I use these to bring them food--it's a perfect fit for at least two meals for two and, they make a beautiful presentation. Did I say I love these?? January 20, 2015

July 15 is the deadline to certify spring-seeded crops, says Dr. Henry English, director, Small Farm Program, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB).
Both traditional crops such as corn, cotton, grain sorghum, soybeans and rice as well as commercial vegetables should be certified. This includes okra, cucumbers, watermelons, squash, southern peas and sweet potatoes.
Failure to certify makes participation in disaster programs nearly impossible, says English. Many Farm Service Agency (FSA) programs require that all cropland on a farm be certified to earn FSA benefits.
All crops planted by July 15 must be certified by that date, says English.
English reminds producers to notify and file a notice of loss with their local FSA county office within 15 calendar days of damage or loss to NAP crops.

Retail: Inside the multi-channel DC
1. The put wall
Mike Khodl, senior vice president of Solution Development at Dematic, says multi-channel capabilities are going to become a very normal way of designing a distribution center going forward. He adds that the central challenge of moving from batch operation to thousands of small orders can be done without elaborate technology deployments. An illustration of one such low-tech approach to multi-channel fulfillment is the put wall, a simple series of cubby holes that enable a worker to pick from a single stock keeping unit (SKU) to many orders for any channel.
In this facility scenario, pallets are received as usual and put in either automated or conventional storage. From receiving, a case can be crossdocked direct to shipping or sent to a conventional full-case pick module. Another case might be unpacked into a tote and put into an automated buffer system. A tote can then be routed into the high-volume, multi-line order station or a single-line order station to process against. The tote might be routed to both, depending on order demand.
At the put wall, a worker picks from conveyor-fed single-SKU totes and puts to multiple orders. If there is product left in the tote it is sent back into a forward inventory storage location. The next time there are more orders against that SKU, the partial tote comes out first before drawing from full cases. "You're drawing off the same pallet for large retail stores, small storefronts, e-commerce and store pickup channels," says Khodl. "With this system, I have zero duplicity in my inventory system."
Once the customer's order has been picked, it can be routed to the packaging station or to a value-added services station. The order is then labeled, filled with dunnage, sealed and routed to either a UPS/FedEx truck directly, or it receives a simple store-out label and is put on a trailer bound for a retail store. With this system configuration, it would be relatively easy to add store delivery for items ordered through e-commerce. Store delivery is a slightly different channel than strictly retail or strictly D2C, but it can easily be achieved with this type of system, says Khodl.
Whether the fulfillment engine is an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) or standard conveyor, Khodl says the multi-channel facility will need complex software to drive the flow of product. "It's all about how I manage the routing, the inventory levels, order demand and order velocity," he says. "The view of order demand and order velocity by SKU is critical to controlling your upstream flows."
The software needs a holistic view, but an optimal system also asks managers to adopt a larger perspective. "Often the shipping supervisor doesn't necessarily care what's going on at the putaway, storage and replenishment engine," says Khodl. "But now he does, because it can shut him down."
2. An integrated picking approach
Aaron Jones, vice president of Bastian Solutions, also emphasized the importance of flexible software in tackling multi-channel applications. In addition to complex routing protocols, Bastian's approach to designing a facility for wholesale and e-commerce fulfillment includes traditional equipment used in a non-traditional configuration.
Instead of a common linear distribution design, with its limitations in routing, throughput and picking complexity, this multi-channel facility enables consolidation of eaches from many different segments of the facility. A pick-to-light system is used to select high-value and sensitive items from carton flow racking, from which the order might move directly to packaging and shipping along a few hundred feet of conveyor. Or, it might be routed to a full-case picking area where pick-to-voice is used to select product from pallet flow racking. All picking areas in the facility support both retail store fulfillment and D2C orders.
"It was a challenge to ensure direct-to-consumer products and orders do not get buried behind miles of accumulation conveyor," says Jones. "A shipping window missed by five minutes can translate into an entire missed day for the e-commerce customer."
From the full-case pick area, the order might pick up a few additional items from a forward storage area where slower-moving SKUs are stored in bin shelving. Once an order has been assembled from any of the three picking areas, it's "distribution as usual," according to Jones, as the order is either sent directly to the dock sorter or to a split-case area for consolidation.
Orders are picked to their shipping containers, which are right-sized by automatic lidding machines to fit their contents and reduce packaging and shipping costs. Before being automatically labeled, cartons will pass through automatic document insertion modules capable of packing invoices, packing lists, promotional items and more at a rate of 20 cartons per minute per line.
"A multi-channel facility needs packaging flexibility," says Jones. "You will also see more bypass and workaround capabilities."
The multi-channel shipping dock also requires greater flexibility than a traditional distribution facility. "If properly planned, a facility can operate for a large portion of its volume with just a handful of dock doors," says Jones. "The door-per-store approach is not necessarily ideal, between the resulting accumulation conveyor and trucks remaining immobile. With multi-channel, there tends to be more intermittent shipping milestones and deadlines, as well as more truck turnover by utilizing different carrier sizes."

|Scott added to watch list
University of Idaho junior Mike Scott, who joined the Vandals in August, has been added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, which honors the nation's top collegiate receiver.
Scott has made an immediate impact on the team as the Vandals' leading receiver after three games with 22 catches for 285 yards and one touchdown. He's ranked second in the Western Athletic Conference in receptions per game and receiving yards per game. Nationally, those numbers put him in a tie for 16th for receptions per game (7.33), 26th in total receiving yards (285) and 30th in receiving yards per game (95.0).
He is one of 19 players added to the original list, which now totals 94 players, and is one of just three from the Western Athletic Conference.
He is one of three Vandals on watch lists so far this fall. Kicker Trey Farquhar is on the Lou Groza list and receiver/return specialist Justin Veltung is on the Paul Hornung list, which honors the game's most versatile player.

A little while back, we gave away Flud's BPM Watch and shared a feature video with DJ Numark, which was one of many promoting the launch of the fantastic watch. Other producers featured in the series included DJ Spinna, Lord Finesse, DJ Babu, and Exile, amongst others.
The final video dropped a few days ago and one might call it crack of sorts. If anyone is familiar with araabMUZIK, you know that this dude murders ish. Like, absolutely rips it. No joke. We saw him at SXSW last year and were frozen into a daze of awesome bliss. Take a look.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jcocookie nice table This is a really nice piece. The whole top part came assembled, so you only have to put the legs on, which was easy enough to do on my own. I got it on sale, so even happier with it because of that (may or may not have bought it if it weren't on sale). Good quality piece and a good size as well. March 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyJ Love it! For 2 years, I have been searching for nightstands to coordinate with the rest of my bedroom set and it has been difficult to find something in black wood with good storage and at a reasonable price. They were fairly easy to assemble and look great! The card catalog file drawers are great for storing my remote controls, pens and paper, flashlight and anything else you want within arms' reach from the bed.

I will continue to pray Darla. I'm so sorry your son is having to go through this, but thankful that he has his wonderful family to help him heal.
My prayers are with you all...especially your son and the girls family.
I am very glad you got some rain. We actually drove through Florida last week and my I couldn't believe how much rain was there.
So very sorry for the loss of life that has touched you. It is always a tragedy when someone dies and so much more so when it is a young person.
The table looks great. Love the butterfly prints.

Oh Darla,
I'm so sorry to hear about your son's loss. My prayers will be with him and his girlfriend's family.
We never ever know what's ahead of us... and I'm sure that's the way it's supposed to be. We can only live (and handle) one day at a time.
Much sympathy in the midst of this sudden loss. May God continue to bless and care for each of you in your family and in your son's girlfriend's family. My your friends, church family and immediate family be so supportive and may you feel God's loving presence very near.
i too am sorry for your son's lost and i will pray for him specifically. i lost my brother and my dad within 4 months of each other - it was hard. people forget you still feel the loss later on, he is going to need you to be there for him for a while.
Wish we had some of that rain. We have had about a 1/2 inch over the last few weeks.
cute re-do on the table. I have a couple old tables that could use a makeover, will keep yours in mind!

Is it a good design idea to maintain separate tables for each layer in a PostGIS database?. Every layer is defined by users. A user creates his/her layer say ATM location. Thats meant by defined by users(I dont have control over the table definition of the layers much) This makes it impossible to predict fields(attribute fields and type are not known initially) used in the table/layers. School vs roads have different geometry and set of attributes.
The problem is traditional databases wont advice for having dynamic tables very much. Does the same apply to spatial databases?

I am writing to support Tania Knauer for Park City Board of Education. I have known Tania for years. She is inclusive and friendly. She doesn't care about who you are or where you come from. If you have a passion for education and are willing to participate, she will get you involved in something. Trust me, she talked me into running for Ecker Hill's Community Council and now she has again talked me into running for Treasure's Community Council. She supported me through my term by helping me understand how these councils run and how important they are to our schools.
Tania has served on various community councils in the district for seven years and is familiar with the state rules on councils and the Utah Land Trust. This is knowledge that will be necessary on the Park City School Board as oversight of community councils is now the responsibility of the district instead of the state.
I also support Tania because not only is she fiscally responsible, but she is already familiar with most of the programs in the district. We have big changes coming in selecting a new district leader. We need to make sure we have a board member who is ready to start working in January 2013.
If you live in Park Meadows, Sun Peaks, Silver Springs, Park West or South Ranch Road area, please join me in voting for Tania Knauer on November 6, 2012.

More transparency on zoning changes, please
This is an open letter to City Hall.
Currently the Park City Planning Commission is deciding changes to the code that regulates zoning in our town. These amendments that are being discussed could affect the town and future developments in a big way (the entire area of Lower Main, and other areas in town as well).
I am asking that the city please make this process more easily accessible to the public. Right now it takes a detective to find the information. Please post the proposed changes to the Land Management Code on the website (in an easy spot to find) and please make the notice in the paper for the meeting schedule more noticeable with more detail on the exact change or topic. Please give us a way to post comment on these changes online.
Please let us have the information so that the public can be informed, comment accurately, and use the public process if they so choose. If we have the information then it is up to us the public but please give us a more transparent way to understand the proposed changes. When the laws are being made and discussed that is the time for input please give us the chance.

County Council needs a skilled negotiator
As a concerned citizen of Summit County and resident of Park City, I want to voice my strong support for Roger Armstrong, candidate for Summit County Council.
Besides the obvious issues of population growth and the inevitable and resulting strain on open space, transportation and even our water supply, there's a specific attribute needed in our elected officials moving forward that extends beyond planning, fiscal understanding, and even general knowledge, and that attribute is negotiation.
Roger's vast experience in the legal field as a skilled and proven negotiator will be an invaluable asset as we are faced with landowners who desire to exercise development rights that were vested many years ago, when the Park City "then" hardly resembled Park City now. Think about Treasure Mountain, Quinn's Junction, Stone Ridge, Boyer Research Park, to name a few.
Roger believes that there's always an opportunity to negotiate a solution that lessens the negative impact on our community while still respecting the developer and the intrinsic value of his rights. I, for one, believe that Roger's many years of experience negotiating complex agreements is the kind of experience we need on the Summit County Council and I appreciate an attorney who believes that expensive litigation should only be used as a last resort. That's just one of the important reasons I'm supporting Roger and hope my fellow concerned citizens will do the same this election.

A powerful voice for the Wasatch Back
If voters in the new House District 54 want a representative who has already proven his ability to influence colleagues on Capitol Hill in Summit and Wasatch counties' best interests, they would be wise to reelect Representative Kraig Powell. Representative Powell has earned the respect of his colleagues and his constituents for his reasoned approach to decision-making, his high ethical standards, and in his regard for local governance.
Representative Powell is not beholden to special interests or corporations that do business with the state or county. He is the only Utah House of Representatives candidate who rejects contributions from lobbyists. He has the freedom to consider what is best for his constituents and bases his decisions on evidence, not political pressure or self-interest. He upholds local decision-making and has worked to keep our local resources allotted to our local needs.
Kraig Powell will continue to be a champion for public-education students and public-education taxpayers. He has perspective from his educational background on both the West and East coasts, and as a father of Utah public-education students. He is a veteran member of the Utah House Education Committee and he has strong working relationships with both the Wasatch School District and the Park City School District.
Wasatch Back citizens need another powerful voice representing us at the Capitol. Kraig Powell is the voice we need if we want to be heard.

A vote for Powell is a vote for our schools
In the 2010 session, the Utah Legislature redrew the lines on Legislative District 54 to bring Wasatch County together with Park City.
Undoubtedly, the fact that incumbent Kraig Powell (R-Wasatch) ranked politically to the left of several Democrats and also is known for being a strong advocate of public education caused that change in boundaries to make this a more "competitive" district while others became less so. I would like to add my thoughts to the important race, because when a representative stands up for local issues we should stand up for him.
Rep. Powell sits on the Education Committee and has been a proponent of stopping bills that send Park City property taxes to other school districts who don't want to raise their own local taxes. Park City School District needs to keep our property tax dollars in Park City to hire and retain the best teachers, and Rep. Powell's efforts have been really beneficial to our residents. His membership in the majority party gives him the ability effectively work with the legislature on issues that affect our county like better schools for our children without higher taxes.
I have had the pleasure to know Kraig, and he is a reasonable and pragmatic member of the legislature who has refused to take any money from special-interest groups to fund his campaign. Kraig holds a Ph.D. and a law degree from the University of Virginia, and serves as chairman of the House Government Operations Committee.
I encourage everyone to vote for Kraig Powell because it is a vote for Park City schools.

A fierce negotiator and a consensus builder
I am supporting Chris Robinson for State House District 54. I have worked with Chris very closely on the County Council for four years now and can't imagine a better representative for our District.
Chris is a fierce negotiator and a consensus builder at the same time. He played an invaluable role in resolving numerous intractable issues for our county. He is extremely bright, articulate, and a deep thinker. He listens to all sides and figures out a way to implement creative win-win solutions.
Chris is always thorough and well prepared. His experiences in business, nonprofits, and government uniquely qualify Chris to represent us well. I am always amazed at the depth of his knowledge and insight into difficult situations. He approaches people with a respective, compassionate and problem-solving approach.
Chris is a mentor and leader, and will be an outstanding representative to the state for us in District 54!

What better reason to celebrate Oktoberfest?
Who knew you could devour a bratwurst and sauerkraut, feast on German potato salad, drink a hearty beer and feel so good about it?
Oktoberfest at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church was a terrific evening and accomplished so much. Silent-auction proceeds were generously donated to the People's Health Clinic to fund lab work for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. This amazing congregation has really helped out at a time when the clinic has lost funding for these important tests. We are grateful for our relationships with our community.
With true gratitude,
Brooks Harbertson
Development director, The People's Health Clinic
Send Chris Robinson to the Utah Legislature
We are fortunate in District 54 to have two highly qualified candidates running for the Utah House of Representatives. My choice is to vote for Chris Robinson for these reasons:
Chris has a deep understanding of our unique community.
Chris has the ability to resolve complex issues involving parties with widely differing positions.
Two recent examples of the latter are the conflict among the Snyderville Basin water providers and the dispute over the proposed Gilmor Stone Ridge development adjacent to Round Valley. In both cases, Chris acted diplomatically and skillfully to bring about a resolution that not only resulted in a fair outcome, but also the dismissal of expensive lawsuits, thereby saving Summit County costly legal fees.
Please join me in voting for Chris Robinson so he can apply his skills on our behalf in the State Legislature.

McMullin gives our collective spirit a voice
I am submitting this letter in support of Claudia McMullin's reelection to the Summit County Council.
Community membership involves a number of responsibilities. In my opinion, the most important of these responsibilities is "listening." Listening is more than simply hearing. Hearing is a reaction that can be turned off or drowned out. Listening is pro-active choice, an act of connecting to others, to ideas, to the collective good. It's the fountainhead of understanding, reason, and ultimately, caring. There's no "common" in "community" without it. Claudia gets this.
The Council's work involves long thankless hours away from family. It consists of complex issues with few simple solutions. Sometimes criticism is the only element in abundance. Frankly, I'm not sure why someone would want to do this. Perhaps it has something to do with the concept of caring. Claudia cares.
I've known Claudia for a long time. I've seen what caring looks like to her "involvement." I've seen her engaged at countless meetings, neighborhood forums, fundraisers, and community celebrations. I've never been to one of these functions where someone wasn't bending Claudia's ear and she wasn't there listening listening for the concern, the idea, the flash of creativity. She understands that the best decisions are made on a foundation of our collective community genius. Claudia's leadership gives our collective spirit a voice.
I seek to elect someone who will not just hear "me." I want someone who will continue listen and engage all of "us." Look around this community and reflect on how blessed and fortunate we are. We do this together. Have a voice in this endeavor. Please join me in voting to reelect Claudia McMullin to the Summit County Council on November 6th.

Claudia McMullin has walked the walk
It is my pleasure to support Claudia McMullin in her bid to be reelected as a Summit County Council member.
Claudia has the expertise, knowledge and professional background that will serve us well as the county continues to deal with complex planning, water and legal issues. Her many years of working on our behalf as a Snyderville Basin Planning Commissioner and current member of the County Council is very significant. She has demonstrated a true understanding of the public process and has dealt with our community concerns in a straight forward and honest way. She realizes that complex issues very seldom have simple solutions and vague platitudes don't resolve problems. She has been willing to make the hard calls, realizing you can't please all of the people all of the time, and has done so with a sense of humor and good spirit.
Claudia has also demonstrated her commitment to our community over the years. She has been involved in numerous organizations including, but not limited to, the Park City Rotary Club, Friends of Animals and, along with her husband, Tim, created the "No Vote, No Voice" campaign several years ago. Claudia has worked to improve our quality of life. She hasn't just talked the talk, she has walked the walk.
I am proud and honored to support Claudia and I hope you will join me in voting for her reelection.

Watching Parkites watching the debate
Here is a look at the debate through the eyes of a part-time Park City resident since 1968:
I was excited to be in Park City for the debate. I was hoping to catch a different perspective than I would in Scottsdale, Arizona. Rather than sit in one place to watch the debates, I moved around Main Street to get a feel.
I started at the No Name Saloon. I asked the first guy at the bar why they weren't watching the debates. He immediately asked if I didn't know that the NFL referee strike had been settled, so the debates had been cancelled.
I then went to the St Regis to step up the demographics. The debate was on the flat screen in the bar and a party of six was sitting at a high top to watch it. It was an older party and five of the six had lost consciousness within the first five minutes. I asked the sole survivor why he had not fallen asleep. In quick retort he announced he had been in the bathroom.
I stopped for a quick bite at El Chubasco. Many of their employees are Hispanic, so I asked one who he was voting for now that he had a Utah ID card. He said he is voting for Obama because he knows what it is like to always be asked about your birth certificate.
I ended my evening at the Spur and asked a totally stoned local at the bar which candidate he thought was more equipped to tackle the fiscal cliff. With a surprised look he said, "Wow that is totally crazy dude. I didn't know either one of them could ski."

Last week at the Rock Hall the buzz was all about Hitsville USA. On Wednesday the Education Department featured a Rock and Roll Night School program on Motown, and on Friday we welcomed Inductee Dennis Edwards of the Temptations for an afternoon Hall of Fame Series event. And don't forget that this week is your final chance to see the excellent exhibit MOTOWN: The Sound of Young America Turns 50.
This month's Rock and Roll Night School, our second on the music of Motown, focused on the years 1964 to 1967, when the label was hitting its stride, cranking out hit after hit, and going head to head with the sounds of the British invasion. Several factors lead to Motown's success during this period. One was Berry Gordy's vision and business smarts. By owning the recording, publishing, marketing, distribution, and management he was able to connect every part of the music business and control the sound and image that became the Motown brand. Another key development was connecting a team of songwriters to a specific musical group. In the case of Holland-Dozier-Holland this meant teaming with the Supremes and the Four Tops, and the result was pure gold. For the Supremes it yielded a string of number one hits including "Where Did Our Love Go?" and "Baby Love," and for the Four Tops it was hits like, "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" and "Bernadette." These songs worked as one long chorus, with the hooks obvious and upfront, and all held together by the driving rhythms of the Funk Brothers – and James Jamerson's bass in particular.
During my interview with Dennis Edwards on Friday we talked about another one of these classic Motown pairings. When Edwards was in the Temptations, Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong began writing what would become known as psychedelic soul songs for the group. Songs such as "Cloud Nine," "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World is Today)," "Psychedelic Shack," and "Papa was a Rolling Stone," all featured the group's members trading lead roles over thick harmonies and a funky rhythm track that was based on the newer sounds of the funk based Sly and the Family Stone. Edwards also told the audience how he got started with Motown. He had been signed to the label payroll for some time as a backup, waiting for his big break. It finally came when David Ruffin left the Temptations in 1968 and Edwards was recruited to be the new lead singer. The first few months were a whirlwind, performing at the Copacabana nightclub in NYC, recording at the famous Motown Studio A in Detroit, and appearing in an NBC television show in Los Angeles with the Supremes. The afternoon ended as Dennis talked about his excellent 1984 solo album Don't Look Any Further, his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and his current performing group the Temptations Review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by plumag I really love this rug With a messy dog and two toddlers we've gone through quite a few rugs under our dining room table. We really need one there to protect our hardwood floors and the ears of the folks who live downstairs. Finally I found this rug that was the perfect size for the room and a combination of style and function. It has survived being drawn on with crayons and chalk, messy meals, juice spills, etc and still come out looking good. I got this on sale so it was a wonderful value. March 15, 2013

Foundation Announces Collaboration to Support Anti Bullying Effort Nationwide
Los Angeles, CA – Bruce Lee Foundation Chairperson, Shannon Lee today applauded the launch of the Anti-Bullying Caucus (CABC) in the United States Congress, founded by U.S. Representative Mike Honda (CA-15). The Caucus launch, announced today at the U.S. Capitol is a historic convening of three dozen members of Congress and dozens of national advocacy organizations.
"As a young person growing up in Hong Kong and later as a returning citizen to the United States, my father, Bruce Lee, had to overcome bullying and bias at every turn," said Shannon Lee, Chairperson of the Bruce Lee Foundation. "The core mission of the Bruce Lee Foundation is to empower young people to believe in themselves and tap into their own strengths while respecting themselves and those around them."
"The health, safety, competitiveness and moral fiber of America is threatened by a bullying epidemic that affects more than 13 million children each year," said Rep. Honda. "Bruce Lee's legacy stands for self respect and respecting others – and the work that Shannon Lee and the Bruce Lee Foundation do around the nation to motivate and educate young people makes them an ideal partner to bring our collective efforts to another level."
The historic launch of the caucus will include a Press Conference with members of Congress, roundtable sessions with leading advocates and a screening of the documentary BULLY at the Department of Education.
In the coming weeks the Bruce Lee Foundation will announce a number of new initiatives to raise awareness about upcoming anti bullying programs while bringing new educational and personal development opportunities to at-risk youth in conjuncture with the CABC.
The Anti-Bullying Caucus seeks to focus the energy and effort of the movement to forge a path forward to stop bullying -- both offline and online," added Honda.
"The Foundation looks forward to optimizing our school-based programming and outreach to support and compliment the work of the CABC and the anti-bullying movement," added Shannon Lee.

Modesto Regional Fire Authority investigators evaluated the scene of the fire, which was mostly contained to the entryway of the 128-year-old Mansion. Witnesses were interviewed, lighting fixtures and holiday decorations were scrutinized as well as other potential sources of ignition. Wood samples were taken from the entryway and submitted to the Department of Justice Crime Lab for forensic analysis. The results of the forensic analysis came back this week, and due to the fact that the exact cause of the fire could not be pinpointed, the official cause of the fire is officially recorded as "undetermined."
"It is unfortunate that the specific cause of the fire was not able to be definitively determined; however, the most important thing is that this treasured building is still standing," said Modesto Regional Fire Authority Chief Michael Kraus. "I am thankful to the dedicated and professional firefighters who quickly extinguished the fire and took great care of a piece of
The most severe damage to the Mansion occurred 10 feet above the floor of the entryway; adjacent to this area were remnants of a hanging, incandescent light fixture and plastic garland decoration, which was on display for the holiday season. As a result, investigators were unable to rule out the light fixture and/or the decorations as either having started or contributed to the spread of the fire.

...Know that man does not live by bread alone...(Deuteronomy 8:3)
Israel is an old-new country, small in size, but with a culturally active, heterogeneous population. Four thousand years of Jewish heritage, over a century of Zionism, and more than half a century of modern statehood have contributed to a culture which has already created an identity of its own, while preserving the uniqueness of 70 different communities.
A largely immigrant society, Israel's creative expression has absorbed many different cultural and social influences, as it blends tradition and innovation, and strives to steer a course between Israeli particularism and universalism. The constant search for cultural identity is expressed through creativity in a broad range of art forms, appreciated and enjoyed by a great many people as part of daily life.

Waste your time and procrastinate here about your latest school happenings.
someone pulled the fire alarm two minutes into my discrete math midterm. lot of people are pissed. im in a good mood.
I wish that would happen for MY math tests. :c
my school did this cool thing where the only thing that counts towards your gardes are tests so now i don't have to do my assignments (its not like i did them anyways this just gives me more reason to not do them)
College is a joke. I've gotten a's on all my papers without trying. 5 pages? Due next week? I'll start at midnight, 6 hours before I have to turn it in. No problem.

^Some pretty freaky crap, check it out.
~Current avatar (and most of my sig) made by Ed~
what papers do you have to write for computer science.....
I have to take a composition class. It's a requirement for all degree programs at my university.
I do get what midnight is going on about, all throughout high school you are bitched at over and over again on how hard college writing is. Maybe its because I am a freshman, but so far its not that hard, its almost just a more advanced version of high school writing: write shit the right length and make it look nice and hand it in on time.
generally people are required to take a rhetoric class but i dont have to because of my test scores
also because of the fire alarm fiasco i get to take a conflict for my other cs midterm. the good news just keeps on coming.
You should pull it more often, Rayne!
I tested out of the freshman english course too. Currently taking the sophomore level class and it's completely below my level.
If I wasn't a STEM major, college would definitely be easier than high school, though I'm not one to waste time and money by getting a useless degree like Philosophy or Art History. I only chose Computer Science because I did not know what else to take that would pay off in the end. Maybe a teacher if I tolerated kids, or linguistics if the degree guaranteed a job. -_- I love learning about languages, but a four year degree in it? What would I do with that...
linguistics has nothing to do with learning languages.
