Spatial and Geographic Databases
Database extensions Database management research is continuously expanding its scope of applicability Problems encountered: –What is the next killer-application ? Technical problems: –The old datatypes {int…str} are insufficient –The algorithms are often more complex than relation algebra –Application programmers treat data management equal to datastructures and algorithmic control
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Sequoia Benchmark ( ) Presents a benchmark for earth science (ES)databases A functional benchmark can be used to elucidate the requirements and describes the challenges in concrete terms: –Benchmark data –Benchmark query –Benchmark constraints and reporting
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Satellite imagery (longitude, latitude, wavelength band, time); –Sample Earth's surface on a 30m x 30m grid, in 7 wavelength bands, every 15 days. Massive size: SEQUOIA 2000 ES – 100Tbytes of data NASA Earth Observation System – 10 petabytes Complex data types: ES DBs include multi-dimensional arrays, geometries for spatial objects, and other complex data types. Sophisticated searching: Searching arrays and spatial data for desired information.
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Benchmark Data –Regional, National, World Benchmarks Raster Data: –RASTER (time, location, band, data) Point Data: –POINT (name, location) Polygon Data: –POLYGON (landuse, location) Directed Graph Data: –GRAPH (identifier, segment)
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Data Load ES expend much effort loading new data, this activity is usually disregarded in other benchmarks. Query 1: Create and load the data base and build any necessary secondary indexes. Query will record the elapsed time to load the data into the system being tested, performing whatever data conversions are desired, and building any secondary indexes.
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Raster Queries Query 2: Select RASTER data for a given wavelength band and rectangular region ordered by ascending time. Time travel query, watch what happens to the study rectangle as time increased. Query 3: Select RASTER data for a given time and geographic rectangle and then calculate an arithmetic function of the five wavelength band values for each cell in the study rectangle. Computes a weighted average of the individual cell values in data. The result for the function can not be pre-computed.
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Query 4: Select RASTER data for a given time, wavelength band, and geographic rectangle. Lower the resolution of the image by a factor of 64 to a cell size of 4km x 4km and store it as a new DBMS object. Changes the spatial resolution of a raster image, this operation creates an abstract of raster data. It is useful to see a large area in low resolution and then zoom into areas of particular interest. Requires dynamic creation of new DB tables/classes
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Point and Polygon Queries Query 5: Find the POINT record that has a specific name. System must have non-spatial indexing (B-tree, hashing) and be able to assemble spatial and non-spatial attributes for output. Query 6: Find all polygons that intersect a specific rectangle and store them in the DBMS. Requires spatial index (R-tree) and dynamic creation of new DB tables/classes
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Point and Polygon Query Query 7: Find all polygons that are more than a specific size and within a specific circle Combination query that has both spatial/non-spatial restrictions. (R-tree) Requirements Query optimizer that can evaluate expected selectivity of spatial/non- spatial clause and choose the more restrictive one to process The clause that spatially subsets the data should be used
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Spatial Joins Queries that join data of one spatial type to those of a different spatial type. Query 8: Show the landuse/landcover in a 50 km quadrangle surrounding a given point Find polygons that intersect a rectangle of interest. (R-tree) Perform complex spatial joins of POINT and POLYGON data sets
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Spatial Joins Query 9: Find the raster data for a given landuse type in a study rectangle for a given wavelength band and time Perform a join between raster data and polygon data Query 10: Find the names of all points within polygons of a specific vegetation type and create this as a new DBMS object. Join between point and polygon data. Dynamic creation of new DB tables/classes
Case study: Sequoia benchmark Recursion Need to trace drainage basins or irrigation networks à restricted recursive queries on network data Query 11: Find all segments of any waterway that are within 20 km downstream of a specific geographic point Computation required in the middle of recursion Small recursion scope Search space can be radically pruned at start
Case study: Sequoia benchmark
Why using a DBMS ? Potential database benefits: –Logical data model –High-level query language –Automatic storage management –Fast execution engine for ad-hoc queries But, how to extract the core ingredients and place them in a DBMS software stack. A spatial extension to RDBMS
Spatial and Geographic Databases Spatial databases store information related to spatial locations, and support efficient storage, indexing and querying of spatial data. Special purpose index structures are important for accessing spatial data, and for processing spatial join queries. Computer Aided Design (CAD) databases store design information about how objects are constructed E.g.: designs of buildings, aircraft, layouts of integrated-circuits Geographic databases store geographic information (e.g., maps): often called geographic information systems or GIS.
Represented of Geometric Information Various geometric constructs can be represented in a database in a normalized fashion. Represent a line segment by the coordinates of its endpoints. Approximate a curve by partitioning it into a sequence of segments –Create a list of vertices in order, or –Represent each segment as a separate tuple that also carries with it the identifier of the curve (2D features such as roads).
Represented of Geometric Information Closed polygons –List of vertices in order, starting vertex is the same as the ending vertex, or –Represent boundary edges as separate tuples, with each containing identifier of the polygon, or –Use triangulation — divide polygon into triangles Note the polygon identifier with each of its triangles.
Representation of Geometric Constructs
Representation of Geometric Information (Cont.) Representation of points and line segment in 3-D similar to 2-D, except that points have an extra z component Represent arbitrary polyhedra by dividing them into tetrahedrons, like triangulating polygons. Is Euclidean spaces a suitable base for modeling?
A problematic case
Representation of Geometric Information (Cont.) Alternative: List their faces, each of which is a polygon, along with an indication of which side of the face is inside the polyhedron.
Design Databases Represent design components as objects (generally geometric objects); the connections between the objects indicate how the design is structured. Simple two-dimensional objects: points, lines, triangles, rectangles, polygons. Complex two-dimensional objects: formed from simple objects via union, intersection, and difference operations. Complex three-dimensional objects: formed from simpler objects such as spheres, cylinders, and cuboids, by union, intersection, and difference operations. Wireframe models represent three-dimensional surfaces as a set of simpler objects.
Representation of Geometric Constructs Design databases also store non-spatial information about objects (e.g., construction material, color, etc.) Spatial integrity constraints are important. –E.g., pipes should not intersect, wires should not be too close to each other, etc. (a) Difference of cylinders(b) Union of cylinders
Geographic Data Raster data consist of bit maps or pixel maps, in two or more dimensions. –Example 2-D raster image: satellite image of cloud cover, where each pixel stores the cloud visibility in a particular area. –Additional dimensions might include the temperature at different altitudes at different regions, or measurements taken at different points in time. Design databases generally do not store raster data.
Geographic Data (Cont.) Vector data are constructed from basic geometric objects: points, line segments, triangles, and other polygons in two dimensions, and cylinders, speheres, cuboids, and other polyhedrons in three dimensions. Vector format often used to represent map data. –Roads can be considered as two-dimensional and represented by lines and curves. –Some features, such as rivers, may be represented either as complex curves or as complex polygons, depending on whether their width is relevant. –Features such as regions and lakes can be depicted as polygons.
Applications of Geographic Data Examples of geographic data –map data for vehicle navigation –distribution network information for power, telephones, water supply, and sewage Vehicle navigation systems store information about roads and services for the use of drivers: –Spatial data: e.g, road/restaurant/gas-station coordinates –Non-spatial data: e.g., one-way streets, speed limits, traffic congestion Global Positioning System (GPS) unit - utilizes information broadcast from GPS satellites to find the current location of user with an accuracy of tens of meters. –increasingly used in vehicle navigation systems as well as utility maintenance applications.
Spatial Access Develop a data structure to speedup spatial data access –Nearness queries request objects that lie near a specified location. –Nearest neighbor queries, given a point or an object, find the nearest object that satisfies given conditions. –Region queries deal with spatial regions. e.g., ask for objects that lie partially or fully inside a specified region. –Queries that compute intersections or unions of regions. –Spatial join of two spatial relations with the location playing the role of join attribute.
Indexing of Spatial Data k-d tree - early structure used for indexing in multiple dimensions. Each level of a k-d tree partitions the space into two. –choose one dimension for partitioning at the root level of the tree. –choose another dimensions for partitioning in nodes at the next level and so on, cycling through the dimensions. In each node, approximately half of the points stored in the sub-tree fall on one side and half on the other. Partitioning stops when a node has less than a given maximum number of points. The k-d-B tree extends the k-d tree to allow multiple child nodes for each internal node; well-suited for secondary storage.
Division of Space by a k-d Tree Each line in the figure (other than the outside box) corresponds to a node in the k-d tree –the maximum number of points in a leaf node has been set to 1. The numbering of the lines in the figure indicates the level of the tree at which the corresponding node appears.
Division of Space by Quadtrees Quadtrees Each node of a quadtree is associated with a rectangular region of space; the top node is associated with the entire target space. Each non-leaf nodes divides its region into four equal sized quadrants – correspondingly each such node has four child nodes corresponding to the four quadrants and so on Leaf nodes have between zero and some fixed maximum number of points (set to 1 in example).
Quadtrees (Cont.) PR quadtree: stores points; space is divided based on regions, rather than on the actual set of points stored. Region quadtrees store array (raster) information. –A node is a leaf node if all the array values in the region that it covers are the same. Otherwise, it is subdivided further into four children of equal area, and is therefore an internal node. –Each node corresponds to a sub-array of values. –The sub-arrays corresponding to leaves either contain just a single array element, or have multiple array elements, all of which have the same value. Extensions of k-d trees and PR quadtrees have been proposed to index line segments and polygons –Require splitting segments/polygons into pieces at partitioning boundaries Same segment/polygon may be represented at several leaf nodes
R-Trees R-trees are a N-dimensional extension of B + -trees, useful for indexing sets of rectangles and other polygons. Supported in many modern database systems, along with variants like R + -trees and R*-trees. Basic idea: generalize the notion of a one-dimensional interval associated with each B+ -tree node to an N-dimensional interval, that is, an N-dimensional rectangle. Will consider only the two-dimensional case (N = 2) –generalization for N > 2 is straightforward, although R-trees work well only for relatively small N
R Trees (Cont.) A rectangular bounding box is associated with each tree node. –Bounding box of a leaf node is a minimum sized rectangle that contains all the rectangles/polygons associated with the leaf node. –The bounding box associated with a non-leaf node contains the bounding box associated with all its children. –Bounding box of a node serves as its key in its parent node (if any) –Bounding boxes of children of a node are allowed to overlap A polygon is stored only in one node, and the bounding box of the node must contain the polygon –The storage efficiency or R-trees is better than that of k-d trees or quadtrees since a polygon is stored only once
Example R-Tree A set of rectangles (solid line) and the bounding boxes (dashed line) of the nodes of an R-tree for the rectangles. The R-tree is shown on the right.
Search in R-Trees To find data items (rectangles/polygons) intersecting (overlaps) a given query point/region, do the following, starting from the root node: –If the node is a leaf node, output the data items whose keys intersect the given query point/region. –Else, for each child of the current node whose bounding box overlaps the query point/region, recursively search the child Can be very inefficient in worst case since multiple paths may need to be searched –but works acceptably in practice. Simple extensions of search procedure to handle predicates contained-in and contains
Insertion in R-Trees To insert a data item: –Find a leaf to store it, and add it to the leaf To find leaf, follow a child (if any) whose bounding box contains bounding box of data item, else child whose overlap with data item bounding box is maximum –Handle overflows by splits (as in B+ -trees) Split procedure is different though (see below) –Adjust bounding boxes starting from the leaf upwards Split procedure: –Goal: divide entries of an overfull node into two sets such that the bounding boxes have minimum total area This is a heuristic. Alternatives like minimum overlap are possible –Finding the "best" split is expensive, use heuristics instead See next slide
Splitting an R-Tree Node Quadratic split divides the entries in a node into two new nodes as follows 1.Find pair of entries with "maximum separation" that is, the pair such that the bounding box of the two would has the maximum wasted space (area of bounding box – sum of areas of two entries) 2.Place these entries in two new nodes 3.Repeatedly find the entry with "maximum preference" for one of the two new nodes, and assign the entry to that node HPreference of an entry to a node is the increase in area of bounding box if the entry is added to the other node 4.Stop when half the entries have been added to one node HThen assign remaining entries to the other node Cheaper linear split heuristic works in time linear in number of entries, –Cheaper but generates slightly worse splits.
Deleting in R-Trees Deletion of an entry in an R-tree done much like a B + -tree deletion. –In case of underful node, borrow entries from a sibling if possible, else merging sibling nodes –Alternative approach removes all entries from the underfull node, deletes the node, then reinserts all entries
MonetDB An early extension of Monet provided geometric and topological structures MSc projects –Needs a redesign and demonstrator application –Extend into the direction of CAD- CAM objects

Arizona Cardinals
CBS insider: Cardinals' Brian Hoyer and Kevin Kolb among most attractive free agent QBs
This just in, the Arizona Cardinals have attractive options at quarterback.
Now that thought may seem outrageous given that the team was forced to start four different guys at the position during a less-than-stellar 5-11 campaign in 2012.
Throw in the fact that as a team the Cardinals finished 28th in passing offense (188 yards/game) this season and that statement appears to be down right hilarious.
According to CBS NFL insider Jason La Canfora, however, teams won't be laughing if Brian Hoyer and Kevin Kolb hit the free agency market this spring.
In his Friday breakdown of the top offensive free agents potentially available at each position, La Canfora has Arizona's duo ranked as the No. 4 and No. 5 best quarterbacks.
4. Brian Hoyer: Plenty of teams see him as a strong No. 2 who could thrive as a spot starter.
5. Kevin Kolb: Arizona was piling up wins before he got hurt; might not hit the market.
Hoyer, who signed with the Cardinals back on December 10, started the team's season finale against the San Francisco 49ers and finished the season with 330 passing yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
While Kolb's season ended in Week 6 after he suffered a severe ribs and sternum injury, Arizona's offensive woes had little to do with the former second-round pick.
In six games, Kolb threw for 1,169 yards to go along with eight touchdowns and two interceptions. He also went 3-2 as a starter.
After being shipped out of Philadelphia in July 2011, Kolb signed a six-year, $63.5 million contract with the Cardinals. As part of the contract, he is due a $2 million dollar roster bonus in March, but head coach Bruce Arians was rather non-committal last week as to whether or not the organization had a desire to keep any of their current quarterbacks.
"I know there's some really good quality guys," Arians told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf. "If they're our quarterbacks, we're going to coach them up and they're going to play their tails off."
Arians might not frequent CBSSports.com, but from the looks of it, La Canfora's advice for the first-year head coach is that door No. 1 might be more attractive than door No. 2.

2016 Corporate Social Responsibility Report
EPRI completed a full corporate social responsibility assessment in 2015 culminating in release of its first Corporate Social Responsibility report. The report (and companion video) provides a comprehensive look at EPRI's social responsibility culture and actions around four focus areas: community, employees, operations, and research.
2017 Research Portfolio
See what programs and projects are on deck for next year. Visit our 2017 Research Portfolio website.
In 2012 EPRI completed a collaborative two-year research project entitled Quantifying the Full Value of Hydropower in the Electric Grid for the Department of Energy. The objective of this project was to use industry-proven analyses and modeling methods and tools at unit, plant, system, and regional/national levels over multiple time scales to quantify and maximize the benefits provided by conventional and pumped-storage hydroelectric projects to transmission grids. The project included the following tasks:
Hydropower projects provide capabilities that are well-suited for addressing the power system integration of other renewables. However, the actual costs and benefits from hydropower projects are not fully recognized under existing policies and market structures.
From this project, utilities with existing or planned hydropower will gain understanding of the costs and benefits for providing ancillary services under different future scenarios including high levels of renewable integration. Results will also be useful in formulating policies and regulations, for developing fair markets, and for investing in energy and transmission infrastructure to ensure energy security and to address climate change concerns. Uses include: quantifying benefits provided by conventional and pumped storage hydro projects to the transmission grid, validating a power and market systems model, analyzing scenarios, and examining the implications of alternative market structures.
As a result of this project, ten reports were made available to the public through suport of the Department of Energy.

Well, he can want both. Although admittedly, it's difficult to refrain from being a tad judgemental on this one.
I believe a visit with a psychiatrist is a good idea in this situation.
Maybe it's just his time of the month
Science has proven that guys have very similar emotional cycles to women and have "periods" of their own believe it or not. I call it the "semicolon"
A male's hormonal cycle is 23 days long, as opposed to the female 28 day cycle. So their 'time of the month' is actually more often.

In style first-individual shooter recreation Halo almost obtained a child-pleasant version referred to as Mega Bloks Halo, additionally initially referred to as by n-Area, its developer, as Haggar.
Its improvement has been unceremoniously stopped on its tracks and a just lately leaked video has offered the rationale, together with different insights concerning the title.
Developer Hassle And Xbox One Launch
In a video footage posted at YouTube, recreation historian Andrew Borman defined that n-Area, has already closed final yr and the sport's manufacturing has even shuttered as early as November 2013.
In response to Polygon, that is already a interval when n-Area is struggling to outlive. Borman, nevertheless, particularly cited that the Mega Bloks Halo was being constructed for the Xbox 360. Sadly, Microsoft has launched the Xbox One, purportedly prompting n-Area to desert its efforts in favor of new titles for the up to date platform.
Mega Bloks Halo Gameplay
Except for the rationale behind the Mega Bloks Halo's untimely demise, the video additionally revealed key insights concerning the recreation. Quite a few these factors to an fascinating and enjoyable gameplay, which some observers really feel makes the title much more enjoyable than the unique Halo recreation, drawing younger gamers who are usually not so scorching about its practical sci-fi gaming expertise.
Definitely, the sport mechanics have been based mostly on Halo. For occasion, you continue to have weapon-wielding characters just like the Warthogs and Spartans battling alien monsters. Nevertheless, there are new gameplay parts similar to how gamers want to gather blocks to construct buildings.
Regardless of the Mega Bloks-like look of the sport's graphics, n-Area appeared to have ported the identical audio results from Halo. Borman defined that this was made attainable because of a collaboration with the then Halo developer, Bungie.
Mega Bloks vs. Lego
There are in all probability those that are questioning why Mega Bloks has been chosen as an alternative of Lego to develop the sport. It seems that the latter has stated no when builders provided to license the toy. Borman identified that, based on his source, Lego is not too keen about having Halo — with its reasonable weapons and weapons — be recognized with their model.
The new recreation itself additionally provided a wide selection of weapons together with their numerous customization choices.
Nonetheless, it will have been fascinating to see the result of the Mega Bloks Halo and the way its improvement performed out. Halo has been a really profitable title for Microsoft and it has spawned profitable merchandises. Its reputation might have spilled over to this recreation, driving a unique evolutionary trajectory beneath the broader Halo universe.
At the moment, Mega Bloks appears to have loved some semblance of success in its tie-up with Bungie. Characters to the latter's different shooter recreation Future now have their very own line of Mega Bloks toys. Additionally, in contrast to Lego, Mattel appears to haven't any qualms being related to Halo. The firm has an entire set of Halo 5 action figures.

Conservative firebrand journalist Andrew Breitbart has died.
Breitbart's Big Journalism website announced Breitbart had died of natural causes, and Big Journalism Editor in Chief Joel B. Pollack confirmed the news in an email to The Hill. He was 43.
Craig Harvey, the chief coroner investigator for Los Angeles County, said the final cause of death had not yet been established, but that Breitbart died at 12:19 a.m. PST at the UCLA Medical Center.
"Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles. We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior. Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love."
Breitbart ran the news aggregation website Breitbart.com, as well as a number of other conservative outlets, including Big Government and Big Journalism.
Breitbart is survived by his wife, Susie, and four children.
Breitbart's brash conservatism and propensity to publicly tussle with his critics kept him close to controversy, but also contributed to framing some of his biggest accomplishments.
Perhaps his most notable achievement was in breaking the story that led to the resignation of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.).
In June, Breitbart uncovered an X-rated photo of Wiener that the lawmaker had mistakenly made public over Twitter before quickly removing it.
There was considerable skepticism among many on the left, who believed the photo was a stunt by the enigmatic journalist. Weiner denied that the picture was his for days after, but Breitbart kept the heat on until Wiener stepped down.
Breitbart even crashed the press conference in which Weiner admitted the photo was his, taking the stage to claim responsibility for what was about to unfold ahead of the former congressman.
Breitbart's brashness could be seen in one of his final tweets, which was sent less than a few hours before his death.
"Apologize for WHAT?," the tweet said.
Twitter immediately lit up with both tributes and shock at the news of his death.
"I'm stunned to hear about the passing of Andrew Breitbart," tweeted House Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorGOP shifting on immigration Breitbart's influence grows inside White House Ryan reelected Speaker in near-unanimous GOP vote MORE (R-Va.). "My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Susie, his children, and his friends."
Matt Drudge, a friend of Breitbart's who runs the Drudge Report and is similarly influential in conservative media, released the following statement.
"In the first decade of the Drudge Report, Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today."
"Andrew Breitbart broke barriers, shattering egos & myths," tweeted California Rep. Darrell Issa (R). "He was aggressive in spreading truth & a true media innovator. #RIP Andrew."
But not all of Breitbart's activism was as effective as his takedown of Weiner, and many in the media have been highly critical of his journalistic tactics.
In late 2010, Breitbart produced a clip of former U.S. Department of Agriculture Official Shirley Sherrod giving a speech, along with a blog post that accused Sherrod, a black woman, of discriminating against white farmers.
The resulting controversy led to Sherrod's resignation; once the full clip was revealed, however, it was clear that Sherrod was making the opposite point in her speech.
The White House publicly apologized to Sherrod and offered her a different job at the USDA, and she later sued Breitbart for defamation, in a suit that is still tied up in the courts.
Breitbart is also known as the publisher and proponent for controversial conservative prankster and filmmaker James O'Keefe.
O'Keefe became a conservative media star in 2009 for a series of stunts that badly damaged institutions that some identify with the left, including ACORN and National Public Radio.
O'Keefe went undercover as a pimp in the ACORN videos, which led to a federal funding freeze and ultimately the dissolution of the group, while the NPR sting led to the resignation of CEO Vivian Schiller.
Some decried these tactics as entrapment, and another sting — this one aimed at Sen. Mary LandrieuMary LandrieuFive unanswered questions after Trump's upset victory Pavlich: O'Keefe a true journalist Trump's implosion could cost GOP in Louisiana Senate race MORE (D-La.) — resulted in O'Keefe's arrest for attempting to tamper with federal phone lines.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Ok, so I have read a few different posts on here and a few other people seem to be having the same problem that I am having but people either give them a stupid excuse or tell them they need more information, so here it goes, I am giving it all to you.
I purchased a blackberry curve (i believe 8350, its nextel) and i had installed the software on my computer. Everything worked great! Then, I got a virus on my computer and had a bunch more problems so I decided to restore my computer. (in the meantime i dropped my phone in water, so i got screwed and lost my info.) I did not want this to happen again, so I decided to do the computer desktop again. When I inserted the CD, I would get a blue screen and it would say my computer recieved an error and would have to restart. So I decided to download from the website. I downloaded version 5.0 (I have vista by the way). When I connected my phone, I get the clock for about 3-5 secs, then it goes away. I have tried many trouble shooting tech including the following:
Reinstalled the software
Hard reset on phone
tried my husbands phone (same model)
tried a different usb port (the one my mouse was plugged into and working fine, actually tried 3 different ports, and yes my usb port has power)
Tried a different USB cable
Tried my husbands computer which has a older version, and it worked fine.
So, down in the corner I have a icon that when I hoover over it, it says "disconnected- desktop manager". I have went into options, selected USB (even tried the none option) and no difference. I do not know what is wrong with this, but I really wish I could get some help. Please do not respond to this post saying something like try a different port or usb cord, as you can see I have already done that. I truely believe there is something wrong with the desktop manager that needs to be fixed, however I am not an employee of blackberry so I would not know for sure. I would really like to get my phone connected to my computer so I can back up my files again. If you don't know the answer, don't respond, otherwise any information that you have to help me would be GREATLY appreciated.
PS. I have seen numerious other post that basically say the same thing as I just wrote, so I know it is not just my computer.

Aesthetics of the past
Jewelry designer Andrea Scardina, lover of times gone by
Andrea Scardina's creative pieces recreate a refined mix with a vintage feel. He puts special emphasis on aesthetics, and his creations come about as a concrete, precious expression of resourceful creativity, able to bring a specific strong identity to each piece in the collection. It's because of his strong decorative sense that the impassioned designer, a Turin native, is such an aficionado of period jewels with a collection of exclusive, refined models.
It's almost with playfulness that Andrea Scardina frames the neckline and dresses the hands of women with unique diamonds with a personalized design and sophisticated combination of pearls, rubies, quartz, pink coral, amethysts and sapphires.

Curriculum Design and Special Features of Chinese For Tomorrow Computer Chinese Textbook & Teacher's Manual Wayne He 何文潮 firstname.lastname@example.com
I. Computer Chinese (CC) "Computer Chinese (CC)" method starts out by emphasizing the use of Pinyin to teach students how to recognize and write Chinese characters on the computer. This allows students to use the language in a practical and engaging way very early on in their studies.
Computer Chinese (CC) 2 The guiding principal of CC is that students at the beginning level (Volume 1) use computer input as the focus of their learning, supplemented by character handwriting. At the intermediate stage (Volume 2), students continue to focus on computer input, but gradually increase their handwriting skills; and at the advanced level (Volume 3), handwriting will become the focus, supplemented by computer input.
The major difference between CC and traditional approaches The major difference between CC approach and traditional approaches is that our course allows students to more gradually develop their skills at writing Chinese characters by hand, rather than requiring them to memorize how to write large numbers of characters while they are still struggling to grasp the basics of the language.
Why should we use CC? (1) Chinese teachers have long realized the high degree of anxiety that learning Chinese characters causes for their students, and this has forced many to de-emphasize literacy skills for lower level students, and to focus instead on speaking and listening skills, writing only in Pinyin. But it does not get around the very real fact that Chinese books, newspapers, magazines, and even street signs, are written in Chinese characters, and that Pinyin is nothing more than a phonological tool.
Why should we use CC? (2) Students who used the computer to learn vocabulary items simply processed them more quickly and remembered them better. Through our teaching and testing experience, we have found that students using the CC method were able to learn more new words and their reading and writing (composition) skills are much stronger than those with traditional approach. They can use internet resources and on-line tools in learning and communication.
The Advantages Of CC Learning to input Pinyin is much like inputting English; if you can say it, you can write it. It integrates reading and writing. The method saves time, as students only need to recognize Chinese characters, and do not need to write them stroke by stroke, and rapidly increases students ' reading ability. Using an online Chinese language dictionary makes looking up words incredibly easy, giving even first year students the ability to read a wide range of materials and even surf the Internet in Chinese.
The Advantages Of CC (2) CC approach increases the students' ability to write; even first year students can begin to write compositions--and what they are writing is characters, not just Pinyin. Students are able to use internet resources and communicate through email and other e- channels. The most important advantage of computer input is that it gets rid of the psychological barrier that Chinese is difficult to learn and increases the confidence of students.
Do the students need to write Chinese characters by hand at all? Typing and handwriting can and must complement one another in the process of learning Chinese. Computer typing and handwriting are two distinct language skills, both of which serve the same written communication purpose. Writing Chinese characters by hand helps students develop an appreciation for the ways in which characters are structured and helps many students to recognize and remember new words. Learning how to write a small number of characters by the beginning students is helpful to build up their literacy skills. But the number should be strictly limited. CC method should be used to deal with majority of the characters by the beginning students.
In Simplified Or Traditional character
What Made CFT Different from Other Textbooks on Market Designed for Computer Chinese approach It is communication based, not grammar based like most of other textbooks Treat grammar in a different way Combine language with culture Comparison between American and Chinese campus life The series teaches language that is useful, interesting, natural, and relevant to daily life

While visiting the historically important magic town of Izamal be sure to have a meal at Kinich (three blocks from the main square. The restaurant is delightful and food truly authentic. The serice in outstanding. It is a must!!
This was a good find. Nicely done, with palapa-style dining room and authentic furniture. The food was Mayan-focused and very good and the margaritas were excellent. The servers did not speak English, so communication was a bit of a challenge, but this was our problem - not theirs!
A great restsurant serving delicious authentic Mayan/Yucatecan food. The setting is just beautiful with some palapas creating a great atmosphere. Servers are dressed on traditional outfits. Food is prepared right and delicious.
Simply a great place to visit that one would want to miss.
We came on a tour bus, so we got a pre-set meal with a cheese empanada (amazing) and a lot of corn based piece that reminded my of tostadas. I really enjoyed the Yuctacea food, and it was very comforting to know that everything made here is made using purified, safe water, so there's nothing you have to avoid. I...
Can be crowded with people from tour buses. Doesn't have typical Mexican foods. Food is average to good depending on the dish. Liked the chaya empanadas! Most of the food was good, but the queso rellano wasn't my cup of tea (there is no peppers in this dish). The Chaya drink was really good. The service is good - but...
We visited this yellow city from Progreso. It was a hot day but inside this restaurant it did feel cool. We had starters which were delicious but after them were unable to eat more cause the portion size was so big. The list had a lot too choose from, local dishes, good list. Nice restaurant.
A bit of a drive from Merida/Progreso but worth the trip, not only to visit the town of Izamal and have lunch but also a chance to see the installations for the organic horticulture camp of Horso in nearby Hoctun.
The restaurant in centro of Izamal is an oasis with quiet service and very tasty food.
Efficient service and pleasant...
The place is packed with people from all the state that travel just to eat the traditional dishes. Cooked to perfection, you have to try the panuchos and anything with axchiote (pork, cochinita,etc)
The restaurant is a good one with excellent cuisine form the Yucatan, however the place is very busy and we waited for almost two hours to get a table and the service was slow since they were so busy. The food was very authentic and well serviced and the staff was friendly and courteous. My advice here is to call...
We weren't sure about visiting Izamal but this restaurant made it worth it. The location is wonderful and the service very nice. The Venado almendrado is unforgettable.

Community accountancy services are not-for-profit organisations that help local voluntary and community organisations to manage their finances. The kind of assistance given ranges from payroll to bookkeeping and from financial planning to annual accounts. Community accountancy services are sometimes based within a local council for voluntary service (CVS) or equivalent, or as independent organisations in their own right.
The Community Accounting National network (CANn), which represented community accountancy services across the country for a number of years on matters of best practice guidance, policy and research, became part of CFG in 2014 as the Community Accounting Special Interest Group.
The group has an advisory panel made up of Community Accountants to support the work which includes a discussion group, online resources and an annual conference for Community Accountants.
If you are a member of CFG and provide Community Accounting Services, you can join the LinkedIn Group here.
Planning is underway for the Community Accounting Conference which will be early in 2016. Details will be available on the events pages of our website and promoted to members on the LinkedIn Group.

text: Gleaming the Cube: US-Bound Nissan Box to Be Lighter, More AerodynamicMike Spinelli3/06/06 3:25pmFiled to: News2008NissanCubeIndustry News0EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This image was lost some time after publication. We've been waiting for Nissan to pull the trigger on a US-model Cube for long about two years now, and according to AutoWeek it'll happen by 2008 at the earliest. Of course the model that shows up here won't likely be of the same generation as the current, Japan-only five-door model (shown). One product planner with the company says US buyers won't accept the performance of the current model, which is powered by an 88-hp 1.5-liter four — not enough to propel it through a New Jersey headwind at more than a slow walk. The weak engine will stay, he says, which means the US model will need serious lightening and aerodynamic tweaks, which may render the Cube more of a rhomboid by the time it hits these shores.

- Abstract:
- Supply chain planning as one of the most important processes within the supply chain management concept, has a great impact on firms' success or failure. This paper considers a supply chain planning problem of an agile manufacturing company operating in a build-to-order environment under various kinds of uncertainty. An integrated optimization approach of procurement, production and distribution costs associated with the supply chain members has been taken into account. A robust optimization scenario-based approach is used to absorb the influence of uncertain parameters and variables. The formulation is a robust optimization model with the objective of minimizing the expected total supply chain cost while maintaining customer service level. The developed multi-product, multi-period, multi-echelon robust mixed-integer linear programming model is then solved using the CPLEX optimization studio and guidance related to future areas of research is given. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

'The Crucible'
Last night was the first of several performances of "The Crucible" at the River Campus. The Tony Award-winning drama is being performed by students in the Southeast Missouri State University Department of Theatre and Dance.
The play is based on the Salem witch trials of the early 1690s, and according to Amy Fritsche, assistant professor in the department and director of the play, it has been a major undertaking for the students.
"I've always been in love with it," Fritsche told the Southeast Missourian, "but it's not an easy play. The actors, however, have jumped into it with a lot of energy and a sense of history, and I couldn't be more proud of them. Everybody is doing the absolute best they can."
Remaining shows will be held at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday at the Wendy Kurka Rust Flexible Theatre. Additional performances are set for 10 a.m. Thursday and Friday. These performances are sold out. However, tickets remain for shows at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Tickets are $15 and may be purchased through the River Campus Box Office at 651-2265 or online at rivercampusevents.com. The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

Mobile, fast, and light, boom truck cranes are the go-to machinery for small construction jobs. Unlike larger cranes, boom truck cranes can go on the highway directly to your job site, making transport easy. Once at the site, boom truck cranes are easily set up by a trained operator, making it easy to get to work fast. While not rated for extremely heavy lifting, boom truck cranes are the simplest solution for small construction jobs.
available lift weights
Industrial cranes/Carry deck cranes are available in a range of sizes from 8 up to 15 tons. These engineering machines are ideal for everyday industrial and maintenance applications. They however need operational expertise and therefore must be rented with an operator.
available lift weights
There are pros and cons for working with Crawler cranes. A benefit, the cranes are easy to set up, and they're stable on the tracks without extra support. Another pro to choosing these cranes is that they don't often get stuck on soft ground, which is typically found in unprepared job sites. The downside to using Crawler cranes is they are hard to move from job site to job site. The cranes are able to be taken apart and moved by trucks, trains or ships, but those options can be expensive. Operators are needed to rent the cranes.
