Blocks: Configurable Reports
This block is a Moodle custom reports builder.
You can create custom reports without SQL knowledge. It's a tool suitable for admins or teachers.
What type of reports can I create?
- Courses reports, with information regarding courses.
- Categories reports, with information regarding categories. A courses report can be embedded in this type of report.
- Users reports, with information regarding users and their activity in a course.
- Timeline reports, this is a special type of report that displays a timeline. A course or user report can be embedded in this timeline showing data depending on the start and end time of the current row.
- Custom SQL Reports, custom SQL queries. This block can use the same SQL queries that Tim Hunt's Custom SQL queries plugin.
Note for developers: You can create your own type of reports.
Who can view the reports?
When you create a report you can select which users can view it.
Links to reports are displayed in a block in the course or site frontpage.
Advanced features
Filters, pagination, logic conditions and permissions, plots, templates support, export to xls .
Request for new report types and plugins are welcome, please use the link "Bugs and issues" at the right.

We have run the "course dedication" report to show how many times users have logged in and for how long. For some users it is saying the number of times they have logged in is 0, but it is also giving a time total that indicates they have logged in. Do you know why this?
- Sat, Jun 4, 2016, 9:34 AMHi,
After updating to the last version 3.1.0 the plugin is not workig anymore....internal server error!!!
- Wed, Jun 22, 2016, 4:06 AMJuan,
HI! I'm hoping you see this. Is there anyway to create a report where Moodle automatically exports it using the Configurable Reports block? For example, if I want a report ran every day at 2 AM, can I do that through this block? If not, do you have any idea what can do this? I'm using Moodle 1.9.
- Wed, Jun 29, 2016, 10:02 PMDear Juan,
We are trying to manipulate the Configurable Reports plugin on moodle 3.1, but we encountered a problem while visualizing the bar graph as if : missing Bar Type (height, width)
Did you remember to call setType() for 'width'? Defaulting to PARAM_RAW cleaning.

- Thu, Jun 30, 2016, 3:50 PMHi,
please, can you open a bug in the Moodle Tracker for the component? https://tracker.moodle.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa project contrib, COMPONENT block configurable reports
- Mon, Jul 4, 2016, 3:58 AMGood day Juan,
Thanks for your excellent plugin. I am looking to see if I can modify the plug-in to be able to update a profile field for several users to some value. So for example I would use the report to generate a filtered list of users and then update a profile field (for example profile_field_feespaid) to yes for all of them. Would you be kind of enough to suggest pointers to do so as in where in the code to start with, etc? Thanks for your help.
- Fri, Jul 8, 2016, 4:44 PMHello, tell me how to solve the problem.
Choosing a report filter "Search custom fields" me "throws out" on empty page and nothing happens anymore.
- Thu, Jul 14, 2016, 10:53 PMplease, i need help, i have configured the block report on my moodle but is not bringing the report as i expect, especially the pictures and courses took by the student is not showing, please, can someone help me. thanks
- Wed, Aug 17, 2016, 3:12 AMHi Juan, there are plans to include the execution of stored procedures into the plugin?
- Mon, Aug 22, 2016, 5:48 PMHi, not in the short-term, I don't have time to add new features, just maintenance
- Wed, Sep 7, 2016, 5:35 AMIs there any way to filter viewing of a report by course groups or only to specific users? The idea is to provide teachers in a group only access to view the students in their own group, with 2 or more groups in the course. It looks like using User field value many times could be a workaround, but it only lets me add one instance of that permission.
- Thu, Sep 15, 2016, 6:05 PMHello, I have moodle 2.9.2 with configurable_reports (2011040121)
But I have the error:
get_role_users() without specifying one single roleid needs to be called prefixing role assignments id (ra.id) as unique field, you can use $fields param for it.
line 4114 of /lib/accesslib.php: call to debugging()

line 384 of /blocks/configurable_reports/report.class.php: call to report_base->elements_by_conditions()
line 69 of /blocks/configurable_reports/viewreport.php: call to report_base->create_report()
How i can solve it?
- Sun, Sep 18, 2016, 2:01 PMHi, I have Moodle 3.1.1 and Configurable Reports get me this error:
Detectado un error de codificación, debe ser corregido por un programador: Function get_all_mods() is removed. Use get_fast_modinfo() and get_module_types_names() instead. See phpdocs for details.
How can I do?
Best Regards
- Mon, Sep 19, 2016, 4:23 PMHello, I am using this plugin with Moodle 3.1+ and getting this error when printing reports :

Please let me know is it work with Moodle 3.1
- Fri, Sep 30, 2016, 5:31 AMHi Juan,
We recently upgraded from 2.3.7 to 2.3.9, and noticed the reports have slowed incredibly. I back revved to code 2.3.7, and speed has returned.
For example, one report under 2.3.7 takes 8 seconds to run, but takes 1:11 under 2.3.9.
A second report takes 3 seconds under 2.3.7, but about 12 seconds under 2.3.9.
This is consistent across the 5 sites I run.
Has any one else reported, or are experiencing these issues?

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

Justin Timberlake beats the odds with '20/20' album
It's hard to recall any album getting more hype in recent years than "The 20/20 Experience," Justin Timberlake's first album since 2006. Between a full week on "Jimmy Fallon," "Saturday Night Live" hosting duties, appearances in Target and Bud Light commercials and performances at the Grammy Awards and South by Southwest, he's practically amassed more media coverage than the new pope.
However, expectations were diminished somewhat by the music. The sharp first single, "Suit & Tie," showed Timberlake following neo-soul trends rather than setting his own. Follow-up single"Mirrors" has uncharacteristically nasally vocals and a bloated eight-minute run time. »Read Full Article
Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article
Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

Skip to comments.Ten Neo-Confederate Myths
Posted on 03/10/2013 8:19:44 AM PDT by BroJoeK

Sorry, southern armies invaded several states and territories. Arizona, Missouri, Kentucky, Vermont(!) Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
That indicates that they didn't want to be let alone. In like manner, their attacks on US forts indicates that they wanted a war. South Carolina, too small to be a country and too large to be an asylum, needed a war to bring in Virginia.
They wanted a war. They got it. They lost it. The problem was the US didn't hang enough traitors.
Of course there is an extra-legal right to revolt, but that is balanced by the duty of the government to put down insurrection.
Which happened.
To successfully exercise the right to revolt you have to win.
Which didn't happen.
There is a standard.
Controversies between states and the federal government are, per article 3 of the Constitution to be submitted for resolution to the Supreme Court.
Which the rebels didn't do, as they knew they had no case. They didn't want resolution, they wanted war.
And they got a war. And they lost it.
We do know that Washington called on R.E. Lee's father to put down insurrection.
Too bad R.E. Lee didn't follow his father's example. R.E. Lee was just too attached to getting mulatto girls pregnant.
I submit that you reveal yourself immune from brain washing with every post.
Gots to have one to be subject to getting it washed.
Nonsense. The South did not see the situation as a "controversy" that needed to be resolved by court. They just wanted to exercise their God-given right to self rule. And they only "wanted war" in the context of, if you do allow us our right to self-rule then, bring it on.
It wasn't that the rebels "knew they had no case", having a "case" wasn't and never will be germane to having the freedom to self-rule.
Except they didn't.
Their concept of self rule was to deny self rule to US states which did not permit slavery, to the US government which was a union of the people which preceded the US constitution, and to steal US property and imprison US citizens who did not support slavery.
Lincoln was referred to by Carl Sandburg as being a bit "lavender" which in those days was a way of saying "homosexual." It also seems that Lincoln and Joshua Speed often slept together in what could be described today as a twin bed. While it was not unusual for people of the same sex to share a bed in those days, the beds shared were much larger than a small twin sized bed.
Regardless, Lincoln had a choice to invade the South or not, and he did so starting the war. When the war was over the relationship between the Federal government and the states was forever changed. The original federation was thereby dead, defunct, and forever perverted. What we have had since is a mutated version of what our Founding Fathers created.
Without DNA evidence I will continue to assume that someone may have had it "in" for Lincoln. Those dates prove nothing.
The poet Sandburg was born 13 years after Lincoln's assasination, and did not know Lincoln.
So his comment may be justly taken as, well, poetic license.
Before marrying Mary Todd, Lincoln fell in love and courted at least two other women: Ann Rutledge and Mary Owen.
Lincoln and Mary Todd had four sons: Robert (1843), Edward (1846), William (1850) and Thomas (1853).
Lincoln is not know to have chased other women after marriage, so he sounds to me like a good family man.
Joshua Speed was Lincoln's best friend, but no evidence of a homosexual relationship has ever been verified.
Speed married Fanny Hemming in February 1842, nine months before Lincoln married Mary Todd.
Of course, modern notions of what it means, exactly, to be "gay" involve "sexual orientation", meaning just about anyone who's ever had a "gay" thought.
More traditional ideas assumed that while many people have such thoughts, just as with heterosexual fantasies, what matters is behavior, not "orientation".
The verified record of Lincoln's behavior includes no evidence of "gay" sexual orientation.
Jay Redhawk: "Regardless, Lincoln had a choice to invade the South or not, and he did so starting the war."
From the beginning, Lincoln was committed to enforcing Federal laws and maintaining possession of Federal properties like Forts Sumter and Pickens.
But, Lincoln made no moves to "invade" the South, or start war, until after the Confederacy had not only started war at Fort Sumter, but formally declared war, on May 6, 1861.
Jay Redhawk: "The original federation was thereby dead, defunct, and forever perverted.
What we have had since is a mutated version of what our Founding Fathers created."
Changed, yes, completed, yes, but "perverted", no -- with slavery Constitutionally abolished, beginning with Lincoln's 13th Ammendment in 1865.
However, nothing you see today in our bloated Federal monstrosity began until the "Progressive Era" 100 years ago, with the 16th and 17th Ammendments, and Federal Reserve.
The only thing Lincoln did was defeat the militarized Slave Power, which started and declared war on the United States, then invaded every Union state and territory they could reach.
In the process, he also abolished slavery.
But the basic US Constitution remained unchanged for another 50 years, at which time the South helped lead the charge towards "Progressivism" -- electing Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, along with 60+ years of Democrat controlled congresses (1930 to 1994).
"Progressives" are your "mutations" and "perversions", not Lincoln's military victory over the Slave Power.
"Their concept of self rule was to deny self rule to US states which did not permit slavery,"
"to the US government which was a union of the people which preceded the US constitution,"
Utter nonsense.
"and to steal US property and imprison US citizens who did not support slavery."
Time for meds.
Instead of blabbing, try factual discourse.
Not only beyond the President's power but also beyond the power of Congress to legislate slavery.
All legislative powers are enumerated in the Constitution and the power to legislate slavery is not among them. Powers not granted Congress are left to the states or the people.
The Constitution did not grant Congress legislative powers regarding slavery, voting, abortion, marriage, flag burning, or to prohibit the citizens from any endeavor in their pursuit of happiness.
The Constitution did provide an amendment process to add, or subtract, powers of legislation. The 13th amendment took the power to determine if a state would be free or slave away from the state and added it to congresss legislative powers. The amendment itself is not legislation but it provides Congress with the power to enact legislation regarding the amendment. Section 2 of the 13th amendment adds the legislative power
Section. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Mussolini was shrewd enough to recognize the value in "pomp & circumstance". He appropriated or subverted many things to serve as jingoistic symbols - including flags, banners, bunting, and the fasces to instill a sense of national unity.
The unfortunate thing is that he set a precedent that (inappropriately in most cases) gets applied as a stereotype against anyone's opponents.
Scurrilous, slanderous, and asinine. You're batting 1000 ;-)
Southern states didn't want US states which did not permit slavery to be able to ban slavery. Personal liberty laws, which delineated the procedures that slave catchers had to use in northern states were held unconstitutional, denying self rule to US states which banned slavery.
Slave catchers would, given their inability to get cooperation by state officials, support in the north, to kidnap poor whites, get false papers, and sell the kidnapped whites as slaves to cooperative slave owners such as R.E. Lee. That was one reason why slaves at Arlington over time became more and more white. The other was of course the raping of slaves by their putative masters.
Of course territories were controlled by congress. In territories Congress has plenary power, just as the state governments have plenary power over their territory. The Northwest Ordinance banned slavery, and was passed by the Congress under the Articles of Confederation, with many of the members of the constitutional convention voting for it.
Yes, Mussolini did pervert good symbols for the benefit of his corrupt state.
Just as Tolkien complained that Hitler perverted proper heroic northern myths to support the corrupt Nazi state.
And as our southern partisans corrupt the US revolutionary history in an attempt to justify the corrupt confederate pseudo state.
And with DNA evidence you would invent Lincoln's identical twin brother to continue your falsehood.
The first is selective misapplication of a two-sided condition. Like smoking bans...the ban limits freedom of the smoker while giving freedom to non-smokers. My point remains the same and remains valid. Southernphobes today try to portray themselves as having some sort of moral high ground by saying or by pretending that the WBTS was fought to free slaves, which is not only wrong it would be hypocritical if true...given that the same war prevented Southerners from being free to decide their political fate.
The second comment would be hysterical if it wasn't so revealing. I defy you to show any evidence R.E. Lee took whites as slaves. Seriously, take your meds.
I particularly recommend the comments.
The civil war prevented some southerners from having the authority to torture and rape other southerners.
By contrast, it gave some southerners freedom from being raped and tortured under color of authority by other southerners.
So really your opposition is either on the side of rape and torture, or against it. By your choice, your soul is judged.
"By contrast, it gave some southerners freedom from being raped and tortured under color of authority by other southerners."
Northern States also had slavery so did they rape and torture too, or was it just your hatred of the south that makes you say such stupid things?
You're more full of poop than a Christmas goose.
Since you hate the South so much why are you so invested in the war that kept those States in the union? You're just a typical liberal Yankee, a bigot.
As Michele Malkin would say, "gigglesnort".
Seriously, you can't be that stupid. There was nothing there that Lee said. Only stuff some dipwad said he said. That's your proof? LMAOROTHF!
I especially liked this part:
"In another departure from the conventional portrait of Lee, you show him agonizing over joining the Confederacy."
What?! She "discovered" one of the most commonly known things about Lee?! It was so well known Ang Lee used it in one of his movies.
Sorry, son. You're way over your head. Come back when you drop your tail.
Geez... You are an idiot. Or should I just call you Saul Alinski? Your "reasoning" is similar to saying, if you don't agree with Obama's policies you must be racist. You need to go back to DU, troll boy.
There is a reason why the Lee family doesn't release the ledgers to anyone other than a Lee sycophant.
Lee was known for being a cruel master, even before the War of Treason to preserve Slavery.
No, I don't hate the south. Yes, slave owners in the north were also cruel. Virginia, at the time that Lee was raping his slaves and selling their mostly white daughters to brothels was part of the US.
Lincoln was elected to limit that bad practice to where it already existed, that is, to ban the expansion of slavery to the western territories. That small half step toward righteousness was so offensive to the slave power that they resorted to treason in support of continuing and expanding slavery. Treason in support of the expansion of slavery is a bad thing. Is that really so hard for you to admit?
Glad you agree that Lee agonized over his violation of his oaths to support treason in support of slavery.
Pity he ultimately tood the wrong side. His father, not known for virtue, took the right side, helping to suppress insurrection. R.E. Lee was not the man his father was.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.
Per Article 4 of the US Constitution. Of course this means that congress has authority to forbid slavery in any new territories.
If you seriously believe that's what I agreed to you should take your head out of your ass.
What else would you call it. Certainly Lee had taken oaths. Certainly he made war against the US. Certainly his war against the US supported slavery.
What else would you call it?
Doesn't matter what I would call it. I did NOT say what you alleged I said. What I would call THAT is lying.
You agree that he agonized?
"I, _____, appointed a _____ in the Army of the United States, do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully
against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the Armies of the United States."
Officer oath, circa 1830.
I, Robert E. Lee, a cadet born in the State of Virginia, aged 18 years and 9 months, do hereby acknowledge to have this day voluntarily engaged with the consent of my mother to serve in the Army of the United States for a period of five years, unless sooner discharged by proper authority. And I do promise upon honor that I will observe and obey the orders of the officers appointed over me, the rules and articles of war, and the regulations which have been or may hereafter be established for the government of the Military Academy." [Douglas S. Freeman, R. E. Lee: A Biography, Vol. 1, page 51]
Oh, come on, make a stab at defending Lee from a charge of treason. Please do 'mitt sucre drausen'.
"I,______, do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may be) that I will support the constitution of the United States."
"I,_______, do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may be) to bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and to serve them honestly and faithfully, against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and to observe and obey the orders
of the President of the United States of America, and the orders of the officers appointed over me."
1829 oath of Army officers.
First off, why would I argue with a liar?
Second, I know you are familiar with the arguments that I would trot out. As one of them would suggest, either you agree that the WBTS was the moral equivalent to the American Revolution or you don't. I already know which you believe simply by your comments so far.
So, going back to number one, why would I argue with a liar?
No thanks.
Ok, You fail to argue with yourself because you are a liar. By contrast, truth may be unpleasant.
So Lee agonized over breaking his oaths, and decided that he cared more for slavery than honor.
Won't take the bait, donmeaker the liar.
Rather Don Meaker the provider of truth.
Well, now we have two documented lies.
Keep digging.
You wrote quoting the source I provided:
In another departure from the conventional portrait of Lee, you show him agonizing over joining the Confederacy.
What?! She discovered one of the most commonly known things about Lee?! It was so well known Ang Lee used it in one of his movies."
So perhaps you agree that Lee agonized.
What would he agonize about?
Would he agonize over whether it would rain? Would he agonize over an estimation of in which army he would rise most quickly?
Or would he agonize over an oath that he took during he career, that would require him to support the US against any enemy whatever, even if that enemy was his friends and neighbors. I submit the latter. Sadly he made the wrong decision. Fortunately for him, Grant was magnanamous in granting terms, giving him and others surrender terms that gave him immediate parole. When he was considered for a treason trial, his defense was that his terms did not permit that, that he had kept the terms of that parole, and that gave him immunity from trial. Not that he did not commit the offense, but rather that his parole, granted under the terms of his surrender were so magnanamous that he, and other soldiers under his command, were exempt from trial, conviction, and punishment.
As Bill Ayers said after getting off on a technicality for many fewer deaths than Lee: "Guilty as Hell, free as a bird."
And like R.E. Lee, Ayers went into academia where traitors could be protected and coddled by the like minded.
I'm sorry which parts are the lies and which aren't? See, that the problem. Once your become a documented liar, no one knows what would be the truth and what would be the lie.
Sucks to be you, Liardonmeaker.
All of it is true. Every word. Take it to the bank.
The part that you write? That is where you find lies. Lies like "Lee was an honorable man."
What's that, Liar Boy? Hwert him wittle feewings? Now him make up more stuff I suppusedwy said.
Poor wittle Liar Boy.
How old are you? Seven?
Bad spelling is not an argument.
Nor is you pretending that you don't understand the word "like".
You give him too much credit ;-)
Stupidity is not an excuse, even for documented liars.
'That is why I don't excuse you based on your pretense at stupidity.
LOL! The Pee Wee Herman rebuttal. "I know you are, but what am I?"
Dude give up while you're behind.
Pathetic. Shaking my head, walking away.

Gervais MulongoyShared publicly -
A convenient mental tool we learn about later-on in school is the concept of a 'vector' (I'm honestly baffled as to why we don't learn about these earlier in school). A vector is just an arrow. But that arrow describes three important bits of information:
1) A line of action - the line along which it is pointing.
2) A magnitude - it's length, which can represent its 'intensity'.
3) A direction - which 'end' of the arrow the 'arrow head' is on.
Translations can be described using vectors. The arrow describes:
1) The line along which we're moving.
2) The 'intensity' with which we're moving.
3) The direction we're moving along the line.
Rotations can also be described using vectors. The arrow describes:
1) The 'axis' of Rotation.
2) The 'intensity' with which it is Rotating.
3) The 'direction' of the Rotation (clock-wise or anti-clockwise).
But we encounter a problem with Reflections. They cannot be described by vectors:
1) The 'line' of a Reflection? What does that mean in 'no space'? What does that mean in 3D space? Reflections aren't always 'along a line'.
2) The 'intensity' of a Reflection? How can you have a partial Reflection (remember we're talking about mathematical transformations, not the half-silvered mirrors etc.) - it either is or isn't Reflected.
3) The 'direction' - wait a minute...
Yes, 'direction' is actually a yes-or-no binary 'bit' of information which is saying simply that the vector is or isn't Reflected. So the 'arrow head' of a vector is actually conveying information about whether-or-not the transformation we're representing by the vector is Reflected.
So in 'no space', we can have one, and only one transformation - the Reflection. Interestingly, all that a Reflection really 'says' is 'yes' or 'no' - i.e. a Thing "is" or "is not". Furthermore, to cancel that transformation, you simply have to re-apply it, because a Reflection is its own opposite: if we say "No" and then we mean to change our mind, we could say "Not no; Yes". "not no" is the re-application of "no" to "no", thereby cancelling it.
For further 'validation' of how a Reflection can be possible in 'zero space' - or zero dimensions - we can look at the relationship between dimensions and transformations. I will propose another thought experiment: On a piece of paper, turned 'landscape' so you have room for this, draw a vertical line down the middle of the page. On one side of that line, draw a triangle (or any shape - triangles are conveniently easy to draw 'free hand'). The vertical line is your 'line of Reflection' - relative to which you want to reflect your hand-drawn triangle. There are two ways to do this:
1) You draw precisely-perpendicular lines from your 'Reflection line' to each vertex of the triangle. Measure the length of these lines, then draw exactly the same length lines on the other side of your 'Reflection line'. Then, simply connect the vertices of your newly reflected triangle. Laborious, imprecise, but it does work.
2) You fold your piece of paper along your 'Reflection line', keeping the blank side firmly on the table, and folding the drawn triangle over the top of it. Then trace your triangle on the other side (or poke holes through the triangle's vertices, or rub the page and try to get some graphite to transfer). With a clean fold, you're sure to get the exact reflection every time: quick and reliable.
Look at the second method: What have we done? We rotated the 2D object (the triangle) through 3D space. More precisely, we effected a half-rotation. Can the same be done with a 1D line segment? Yes: using the same page (let's be ecological here), draw a dashed-line anywhere on your page. On one side of it, darken a line segment (fill it in as a solid dark line segment). A little away from your segment, squiggle a black dot. This will be your 'Reflection point' (no longer a 'line' - reiterating why Reflections can't be represented by vectors). Fold the page through the point so that the dashed-line overlaps. Then trace your line segment on the other side. Voilà , you've just half-rotated a 1D object through 2D space and resulted in a 1D Reflection of your 1D line segment.
There's a pattern here: a half-rotation in n dimensions results in a Reflection in n-1 dimensions. So we can follow this pattern down to zero-dimensions: a 0D object half-Rotated through 1D space is a Reflection of that 0D object in zero-dimensions.
"Wait-a-minute" I hear you say. First, what the heck is any kind of rotation in 1D? Second, how the heck does that 'equate' to any kind of yes-or-no Reflection? Don't fret - here's another experiment to get your hands dirty:
Take a cardboard toilet paper tube and paint half side black (lengthwise, not 'around' the cylinder) and the other side white. Then roll the tube over a white background - better yet, have someone else rotate that tube in place against a white background while you watch, standing far far away. What you will see is the, admittedly 'rectangular', black dot appear and disappear, blinking in and out of existence... This is the Point being Reflected and then re-Reflected - in other words, our Thing for which we can say it "is" or "is not". For you, the black dot "is" and then "is not". Once again, we've seen that Reflections are viable transformations for a non-spatial dimension.
Reflections, furthermore, are not just 'zero-dimensional' - they're 'pan-dimensional'. Vectors, you may know (or will soon learn in school), can be represented in infinitely-many dimensions - except zero, as we've seen. But what we've also seen is that the arrow-head of a vector is the yes-or-no 'flag' indicating the 'Reflection status' of that vector. So _every_ vector, up to infinite dimensions, is implicitly constructed with a zero-dimensional Reflection. The reflection transformation is present in ALL (and NONE) dimensions.

Sakzai (Pashto: سکزی), also called Sakazai, Sagzai, Sagzi and Sijzi (Arabic: سجزي), are a historical Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan located within the locales of Nimroz, Ghor, Helmand and Farah.[1][2] The Sakzai are 24 subtribes and 95 or 96 clans with an approximate population of over 4.9 million people. Their name suggests a connection with the historic East Iranian Saka tribes of Central Asia.

Landing gear issue sends plane back to Philly
PHILADELPHIA -- Authorities said a landing gear problem prompted a plane bound for Germany to return to Philadelphia after dumping fuel.
Airport officials said Lufthansa Flight 427 took off at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday, but the landing gear didn't retract. Officials said the pilot flew over Chester County trying to get the gear up, but the efforts failed so the plane returned.

Historical Traveler Reviews Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables
A business trip to remember
While attending a business conference at the hotel, just enjoyed a three night stay (Dec 6-9) at the Hotel Biltmore. From first driving up to the main entrance to checking into the room, everything in sight is beautiful.
I had one of the three rooms (could be combined with the room next door to create a suite) on the 14th floor and enjoyed a view looking both East and North. The room was elegantly furnished with desk and chair, bed, and two other chairs with every type of Miami magazine one might desire.
The bathroom had a balcony that was inaccessible behind a locked glass door probably due to the low railing outside. Still, a fine view of the golf course and pool brightened my morning ritual.
The only downside was sitting through a long two days of meetings but can't blame the Biltmore for that!
Nice with some drawbacks
We have recently stayed at the Biltmore for two days and one night. We had a lovely room, the bed was heavenly, I would love to know from where they have this fabric.
The reason why I don't give this place full marks was the pool area. It has a very impressive size but there were so many local families with their small babies in the pool who would normally belong to the baby pool. Also we saw many people with food and drinks in the pool which I just don't find hygienic. Also what another reviewer mentioned, there are simply not enough deck chairs there, we noticed when we went to breakfast at 10am next to the pool, all the chairs were taken already even though nobody was sitting in them. So I would rather have a smaller pool but some garden to have space for some more chairs.
Good rates overall, but the little extras will cost lots (May 2004) . . .
I'm lucky enough to live near the Biltmore. The last time I stayed here was back in 1988 (twice). We got poolside rooms both times and the hotel had less of the worldly polish it has today, but still exuded its special old-world charm (the poolside stadium seating was still in place back then!). The hotel was closed for some 20+ years and nearly got torn down until it was reopened in 1987. Luckily for the world, it was salvaged; its history is long and rich (built in 1920s). My sister came down for a couple of days and we spent three wonderful nights here. The only glitch was that we had previously requested pool-view and once there, never got it. Although front desk (Chad) was very professional and polite, we never got our pool-view. Instead, we got front view on 3rd floor (one room off from dead-center), which was equally spectacular. (Avoid any tennis view rooms, which is same side as the loading dock and very noisy, so we've been told). We were low enough to see all the action in front of the hotel (including spectacular sunsets), but high enough to maintain some sense of privacy.
This hotel has one of the best beds I've ever slept on! The courtyard restaurant (by the fountain) has a great breakfast buffet all during the week ($16 pp).
Okay, let's get the complaints out of the way. The bathroom had no venting system whatsoever, which we thought peculiar, so be ready to bring some spray or get some matches from the bar downstairs. There is a poolside caf�, however, they rarely, if ever, ask poolside loungers if they care for drinks and/or food. At one point I was so hungry I called and asked for poolside service via my cell phone, gave them my description and asked them to please bring me a menu (in all fairness, this is a large poolside area). Within minutes I was waited on. You can get the burgers and fries here, but you can also order healthier dishes like generous (albeit) expensive salads. If you don't like piped in music (pervasive throughout the grounds), bring your own headphones.
One thing I would highly recommend are the free tours of the hotel (about 45 min. to 1 hour). You get a lot of history of the hotel. On the day we took the tour we were lucky in that the Bell Tower Suite was empty and we got to see this spectacular, 2-story penthouse at the apex of the hotel. The 7th floor has a reputation of being haunted. The only thing creepy about it was the The Cellar Club (members only).
Room service is pricey. The good news is that there's a plethora of goods within a mile or so (intersection of Bird Road and Red Road). There's a Milam's grocery (great wraps, salads, wines, etc), a Latin cafeteria, sushi restaurant, a 24-hour Walgreen, bakery, and lots more). The in-room movies were quite expensive at $12.63 each. The bad news here (besides the price) is falling asleep during these movies!
Oh yeah, the pool. WHAT A POOL! Cascading waterfall and all. Wonderful! Go for it, you won't be disappointed.
Elegant & Beautiful!
The Biltmore was fabulous! The staff were gracious and friendly and our room was gorgeous. We ate every meal at the hotel restaurants - there were plenty to choose from! - and loved every one. The best was Chef Phillipe at the Palm D'Or. Absolutely wonderful!!! The pool is spectacular, the grounds beautiful, and most importantly, the staff is great. We look forward to a return visit soon!
In a word - fabulous!
Just spent 3 glorious nights at the Biltmore. Champagne offered at check in, discrete efficient service all the time, understated elegant room and beautiful limestone clad bathroom (I thought the Westin "Heavenly Bed" was the most comfortable I had experienced but the bed at the Biltmore had it licked!). A truly luxurious treat in a quiet, refined and elegant setting.
One of the best hotels ever!
Quite simply, one of the best hotels we've ever visited. We knew it was going to be special when we were handed a glass of champagne each as we checked in. Superb room, with everything we could possibly want. We ordered room service breakfast and it was outstanding. The service and presentation was impeccable; a truly wonderful treat. Highly recommended.
A step back in time.
The Biltmore is a step back to the Gilded Age. It s truly a special hotel that is pleasantly isolated away from the usual traffic and crowds of Miami. While there, you must try Palm D or. The restaurant s tapas style ordering is a great concept. You get to enjoy plenty of tastes and leave filled, not bloated! The hotel and grounds is a historian s dream. The neighborhood it rests in is beautifully kept. Nearby you should visit Viscaya, another beautiful historic landmark. If you are into the South Beach scene, stay away. If you are interested in beautiful views, a sense of grandeur and a truly relaxing time, The Biltmore is the destination, not just a hotel.
Palme D'or Restaurant - Fantastic
The Le Palme d'Or restaurant at the Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables is one of the best we've visited in all our years of travel. Many rave about the famous Inn at Little Washington restaurant, but this was even better for less than half the cost. Still expensive, but this is a special place for a special ocassion. We especially liked the concept of small portion servings. This is a place for those who appreciate truly fine food and who judge by quality, not quantity. A 24 ounce steak eater would not be happy here. We had "three plates" for $33 plus dessert. The asparagus beignet wasn't what you might expect, not a beignet at all. It was absolutely exquisite. I would go again just to order it. Other tastings available are four plates $44, five plates $55, chef's choice menu at $65 and another choice with wine included.
We had all we could manage with three plates and dessert. Oh, yes, absolutely do not forget the dessert. You choose the theme and receive a medley of surprises. Superb! Fabulous setting, impeccible service, food to remember.
We were headed to Miami Beach for Christmas Vacation. Decided to spend three nights at The Biltmore because of good internet rate and claim of having the largest outdoor hotel pool in the continental US. We asked for an upgrade and received a lovely one bedroom suite. It appeared to have been recently redone - very clean and fresh. Housekeeping service was wonderful and very accomodating. The pool, however, was a HUGE disappointment. It is large and beautiful but not heated. The water temp was 52 degrees. Because of the way the pool is configured there is a lack of deck space and there were only 23 lounge chairs that receive sun in the afternoon. (I counted them!) Because of the lack of sunny deck space hotel guests were getting confrontational with each other about reserving chairs. Hotel management also let a group of guests have a small dog which was very annoying to me. The dog was allowed poolside and in the outside resturant. Complaints to management elicited sympathy but nothing more. Dining at the pool side cafe was expensive with poor service and mediocre food. The staff seemed to try hard but fell short .
Not the best rooms for the prices
Booked 2 days at the Coral Gables Biltmore only stayed two. The room was awful and the furniture was old and smelled like dust. I have stayed at other Biltmore Hotels and can tell you this one was worst one. Most of the staff could barley speak English, and most were snotty.Went we checked out early we told the staff why and they still charged us for the 2nd night. I will never stay there again. Go to the Ritz in Coconut Grove or on Key Biscayne.

Solutions for Chapter 64
Microscopic examination of a vaginal specimen for any sexually transmitted diseases (STD):
The specimen shown in the Figure 64-10 does not match with any of the microscopic slides shown in the specimen of STD shown in the exercise (refer to the Figure 64-8 and Figure 64-9 of the textbook). The specimen shows epithelial cells with a few gram-positive bacilli, and STD agents such as Candida albicans, Trepenoma pallidum, Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis, are not visible in the specimen.
a) No, there is no indication of any sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in the specimen shown in the Figure 64-10.
b) None of the STD agents are present in the specimen.
The specimen shows gram positive bacilli (seen as purple-blue rods) which can be Lactobacillus, which are the normal flora of vagina present in the small amounts in a healthy vagina. In disease conditions, these bacilli that comprise normal flora are replaced by bacteria and other microorganisms that overgrow in numbers and cause vaginosis and other STDs. As the specimen shows only epithelial cells of the vagina and the normal bacilli, the specimen is of a healthy vagina without any STD agent.

The Chigi park, near the town of Ariccia, lies to the south of Rome; a dramatic, wooded landscape, filled with fountains and gorges. Although many artists of this time made studies of the Chigi park, Downman's concentration upon the tangled roots of an individual tree is unusual, perhaps showing more in common with the intense scrutiny of nature found in works of later artists like the Pre-Raphaelites. It is possible that Downman made this drawing using a 'camera obscura' - a form of pinhole camera - which he is known to have employed in at least one other landsape drawing made in Italy.

Prom is around the corner, and two organizations at Spencer County High School are making it easier for teens to find the attire for that memorable night.
The Spencer County Youth Service Center and the PRIDE Club are hosting a Prom Fashion Show and Auction on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
Admission is $3, and free door prizes will be awarded.
"We will be showcasing new dresses and tuxedos from area businesses [and] showing the latest prom fashions," organizers said in a news release.
Five individuals arrested by Kentucky State Police in January were indicted by a Spencer County Grand Jury March 10 on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine in the Ridgeview neighborhood.
Christopher J. Clark, 25, of Taylorsville; Williams R. Mayes, 43, of London.; Christopher T. Morris, 38, of Mount Washington; Victor G. Ellis, 47, of Taylorsville; and Andrea D. Woodrome, 33, of Taylorsville were indicted, alone or in complicity with one another, on first-degree charges of manufacturing methamphetamine.
Beginning today, The Spencer Magnet's website, www.spencermagnet.com, will become a subscription-based service.
Anyone with a subscription to the newspaper will have access to all of the news and features that appear in each week's print product, along with a number of online-only features including videos, slideshows and more.
A digital PDF version of the newspaper is also available online.
Do you think Spencer County will remain the fastest growing county in the state from 2010 to 2020?

Taylorsville has been rightly abuzz with discussions surrounding the proposed water rate increases the city commission will almost inevitably need to levy due to the state-mandated wastewater treatment facility upgrade slated to begin construction March 28.
When I was young, we had a small population in Spencer County. Even so, we had few wild animals other than rabbits and general varmints. We did have a cleaner landscape as one could drink from a small running branch without much danger of getting sick.
Have you noticed how disrespectful we are these days? Simple civility and courtesy seem to have been forgotten. From the drivers that cut us off on the highway to the department store clerks that just grunt when we say hello, disrespect for others just flows through our society.
I see it a lot in children, but let's face it, parents often are not much better. It seems that we have lost the ability to show respect.
First Baptist Church of Taylorsville is hosting a Spring Gala April 3 at 5 p.m. featuring a concert by published composer and musician Mary McDonald.
With spring planting now underway, Kentucky Farm Bureau looks to sow a few seeds of its own as it calls for applications for the 2011 KFB Farmer of the Year award. The organization initiated a Farmer of the Year award program as a way to recognize KFB members for their commitment to excellence in agriculture, efficiency in farming practices, sound financial management and outstanding leadership in their county Farm Bureau and other civic organizations.
USDA Rural Utilities Service Administrator Jonathan Adelstein has announced that USDA is accepting applications for grants to provide broadband access in rural communities currently without broadband service. Joining him to make the announcement was Aneesh Chopra, chief technology officer, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Central Oklahoma was able to score the first point in each game against West Texas A & M, but the Lady Buffs scored the last point of every one, sweeping UCO, 30-16, 30-26, 30-22, to win their second straight Lone Star Conference championship before 524 fans Saturday night at the WT Fieldhouse.
LSC Champs
Two in a Row: The Lady Buffs win their second consecutive Lone Star Conference championship and 13th in school history.
WT coach Tony Graystone said this year's team was unique from last season's championship squad.
"Two totally different teams with two totally different types of players, but the same result," he said. "It feels good when you are able to accomplish one of your goals, and to do it against a quality team like UCO. I thought we played really well."
The win is the 13th LSC championship for the Lady Buffs, who entered the game ranked 13th in the nation.
The Lady Buffs (32-7) led Game 1 14-9 before scoring five unanswered points to put the game away. WT would outscore UCO 11-7 en route to the 30-16 victory.
UCO (31-6) played its best game of the match in the Game 2 and held a 24-21 advantage over the Lady Buffs before WT outscored the Bronchos 9-3 to earn a 30-26 win.
"It's something that we've been through a million times this year," Graystone said. "We've been down late in a lot of games, but we were able to climb out of that hole. This is nothing new for us."
Canyon native and sophomore setter Katie Rickwartz said the team's experience in pressure situations has helped the young squad mature.
"I think throughout the season we've really matured and learned to handle ourselves in tough situations," she said. "We just stayed calm and worked together as a team."
WT jumped out to a 14-6 lead in Game 3, and would not allow UCO to get within five points the rest of the way to complete the sweep 30-22.
Sophomore middle blocker Melissa Harper, who was named the most valuable player in the LSC Tournament, led the Lady Buffs with 17 kills. Rickwartz and sophomore Laura Prinsen also were named to the LSC All-Tournament team.
Rickwartz tallied 49 assists and 12 digs, while Prinsen finished with 16 kills
WT is in consideration to host the NCAA Division II Regional tournament this week. Harper said playing in "The Box" is definitely an advantage.
"I feel like people come in here and expect to lose," she said. "I wouldn't want to come in here and play."

The Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks 96-93 on Tuesday to take a 2-0 series lead.
Much like the first contest, game two came down to the wire. In a NBA season full of fantastic moments, this very game might take the cake as the best so far.
After Amare Stoudemire left the game in the second quarter with back spasms, the game quickly turned into Carmelo Anthony vs. the world. In one of his finest performances to date, Melo turned in 42 points and 17 rebounds, keeping his team close until the very end.
The game was thrilling. It was the epitome of hard-nosed, playoff basketball. So, take a look and see who passed and who failed as I hand out the grades for game two.
