The CBO and Indexes: An Introduction (Absolute Beginners) June 9, 2009Posted by Richard Foote in CBO, Oracle Indexes.
One of the more common questions I get asked and one of the most common questions asked in the various Oracle related forums is the general question of why doesn't the CBO choose to use a particular index. There are various reasons why an index might be ignored but generally and rather simplistically (for now), the answer is often simply because the CBO considers the cost of using the index to be more expensive than other alternatives.
As one would expect with the CBO, the cost is a rather important consideration and yet many don't understand what the costs associated with an execution plan actually means and represents. Some people think the costs associated with an execution plan are basically meaningless and are only used by the CBO in "mysterious ways". Some people even go so far as to suggest that the CBO sucks and recommend all sorts of inappropriate ways to force Oracle to use an index.
It all comes back to simply not understanding CBO fundamentals and how Oracle costs the basic use of an index.
In reality of course, the CBO doesn't "suck" with 10g, in fact it's actually extremely clever and resourceful when it comes to determining appropriate, efficient execution plans. If the CBO is armed with "accurate enough" statistics, it will generally do a remarkably good job. The costs and the associated cardinality of the various steps within an execution plan provide valuable information on why the CBO has made its decisions.
So I thought I might discuss the CBO a little and start with a very basic introduction into how the CBO costs an index to get this message across.
The basic formula for costing an index based range scan is:
basic index range scan cost = index blevel + ceil(index selectivity x leaf blocks) + ceil(table selectivity x clustering factor)
Note there are various slight variations and interpretations of this formula from database version to database version and for differing specific scenarios, which can vary the resultant costs marginally. All the following examples are from a windows based 10.2.0.3 database.
So from an index perspective, the index blevel, the number of leaf blocks and the clustering factor are all statistics that directly influence the cost of using the index. However, just as important are the associated selectivities of accessing both the index and the table. These statistics are often based on the associated column statistics (but not always) and if Oracle gets these selectivities wrong, then the CBO will generate wrong costings and all bets are off regarding the appropriateness of the resultant execution plan.
OK, let's create a nice, simple little scenario which will be the basis of future demos.
SQL> CREATE TABLE bowie_stuff AS SELECT (mod(rownum,100)+1)*10 id, 'Ziggy Stardust' name FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100000; Table created. SQL> CREATE INDEX bowie_stuff_i ON bowie_stuff(id); Index created.
We'll use the BOWIE_STUFF table in future demos, but for now I'm after a relatively large index with an excellent clustering factor. So I'll create a second table, ordered on the ID column and double it's size …
SQL> CREATE TABLE bowie_stuff2 AS SELECT * FROM bowie_stuff ORDER BY id; Table created. SQL> INSERT INTO bowie_stuff2 SELECT * FROM bowie_stuff2; 100000 rows created. SQL> commit; Commit complete. SQL> CREATE INDEX bowie_stuff2_i ON bowie_stuff2(id); Index created. SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> null, tabname=> 'BOWIE_STUFF2', cascade=> true, estimate_percent=> null, method_opt=> 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1'); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
If we now look at some of the key statistics, we note the following:
SQL> SELECT table_name, blocks, num_rows FROM user_tables WHERE table_name = 'BOWIE_STUFF2'; TABLE_NAME BLOCKS NUM_ROWS ------------ ------ -------- BOWIE_STUFF2 659 200000
The table has 200,000 rows and consists of 659 data blocks.
SQL> SELECT column_name, num_distinct, density, num_nulls FROM user_tab_col_statistics WHERE table_name = 'BOWIE_STUFF2' and column_name = 'ID'; COLUMN_NAME NUM_DISTINCT DENSITY NUM_NULLS ----------- ------------ ------- --------- ID 100 .01 0
The indexed ID column has 100 distinct values, which are perfectly evenly distributed. The density of the ID is an "accurate" 0.01 with a selectivity of 1%, so a selection of one distinct value will return 200,000 x 0.01 = 2,000 rows. Nice easy numbers …
SQL> SELECT index_name, blevel, leaf_blocks, num_rows, distinct_keys, clustering_factor FROM user_indexes WHERE index_name = 'BOWIE_STUFF2_I'; INDEX_NAME BLEVEL LEAF_BLOCKS -------------- ------- ----------- BOWIE_STUFF2_I 2 605 NUM_ROWS DISTINCT_KEYS CLUSTERING_FACTOR -------- ------------- ----------------- 200000 100 854
The index has a blevel of 2, it has 605 leaf blocks and a rather good clustering factor of just 854 (note the rows in the table were basically inserted in ID order).
OK, we now have all the information we need.
Note to start with, I'll only use the "older" IO costing model by setting the following parameter:
SQL> alter session set "_optimizer_cost_model" = io; Session altered.
As we'll see in future posts, the use of the CPU costing model actually has minimal effect on many index related access costings but we'll use the IO costing model as a starting point.
This first equality SQL demo shows the costings in relation to a simple, single value equality predicate (I've linked to a PDF to preserve formatting).
OK, 2 important pieces of information to note. Firstly, the CBO has got the expected cardinality (2000 rows) spot on.
As the stats are 100% accurate and the values are perfectly evenly distributed, this is to be expected. If Oracle gets the cardinality correct, we can be reasonably confident that the CBO to have made a reasonable decision here.
As previously mentioned, there are 100 distinct values of which we want one of those those values. Oracle has calculated the selectivity of the query to be 1/100 = 1% or a value of 0.01 (as defined in the density column statistic). The expected number of rows is therefore 200,000 x 0.01 = 2000. Like I said, spot on.
Secondly, the CBO has calculated the cost of the index range scan to be 9 and the overall cost of the query to be 18. How has the CBO derived these costings ? Well as it's a simple, single column index and associated query predicate, we can plug in the 0.01 selectivity into the above formula as follows:
index blevel + ceil(index selectivity x leaf blocks) + ceil(table selectivity x clustering factor)
2 + ceil(0.01 x 605) + ceil(0.01 x 854) = 2 + 7 + 9 = 9 + 9 = 18
So we can see that the costs associated with accessing just the index:
blevel + ceil(index selectivity x leaf blocks) = 2 + ceil(0.01 x 605) = 2 + 7 = 9
indeed comes to a total of 9
and the overall cost of the execution plan indeed does come to 18.
The CBO costings all do actually make sense and add up as expected.
In this second IN list demo, we're just going to expand on things a touch by selecting 3 distinct values in a IN list. However, the actual principles and cost calculations are basically the same.
This time we're after 3 possible values as listed in the IN clause. So that's 3 out of the 100 possible values, 3/100 = 3% or 0.03. The required cardinality is therefore 200,000 rows x 0.03 = 6000 which again Oracle has got spot on. Usually a good sign that the CBO has made a reasonable decision.
This time the costs have come to 23 for the index range scan part of the execution plan and 49 overall. Again using our basic formula:
index blevel + ceil(index selectivity x leaf blocks) + ceil(table selectivity x clustering factor)
2 + 3 x ceil(0.01 x 605) + ceil(0.03 x 854) = 2 + 3×7 + 26 = 2 + 21 + 26 = 23 + 26 = 49.
So the cost associated with the index is indeed 23 and the overall cost of the query is indeed 49. Again, all these CBO costings make sense. These costings aren't meaningless, internal numbers but values that give us a useful insight into how and why the CBO has come to a specific cost and so to a specific execution plan.
Note BTW, one of those subtle differences in how the formula is implemented with 10g (from say 9i) is the fact the selectivity is calculated for the index by performing the CEIL function for one value first and then multiplied by the overall number of expected values in the IN list:
2 + 3 x ceil(0.01 x 605) = 23
rather than determining and using the total index selectivity within the CEIL function:
2 + ceil(0.03 x 605) = 21
The net result being such costs are going to be just that little bit higher in 10g than they would have been in 9i.
So indeed, these things can all change a little from release to release but the basic principle is still the same. Feed the CBO acurate enough statistics and it'll likely do the right thing. If it doesn't, understanding the CBO and how it costs various execution plans will help to determine what the issues might be. Huge clues are provided by the costings and cardinality estimates in the associated query execution plans.
I'll expand on all this is future posts but for more information on this subject, I highly recommend the writings of Wolfgang Breitling (and his excellent paper "A Look Under The Hood Of The CBO: The 10053 Event" in particular) and the writings of Jonathan Lewis (and his excellent book "Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals" in particular).
Like I said, this is only meant as an introduction, more to come …
- 1. Brian Tkatch - June 10, 2009
1) Is there a particular reason the ids are multiplied by 10? "SELECT (mod(rownum,100)+1)*10"
2) The article uses upper(). Should that be CEIL()?
3) Typo: "6000which" is missing a space.
4) I bought and tried to read CBO Fundamentals. It obviously explains it well, but is very confusing if the terminology is not already known.
5) I'm excited about this new series. I've read parts of these costings, but not everything has clicked yet. I hope this series makes it all clear.

Hello Richard,
I always believed that cost is some meaningless, internal number. Now you are going to break my dreams 🙂
In my practice I had optimized some queries, so query's cost was increased but execution time decreased from minutes to seconds.
It means statistics or multiblock_read_count or some else parameters were wrong in that database?
Thank you.
- 9. Rudi Kristanto - September 3, 2009
from user_indexes we know that leaf block = 605 and clustering factor = 854
but further in your calculation, you used 602 for leaf block and once 852 for clustering factor
little, but irritating 🙂

text: I just recently purchased a 2005 duramax 4x4 with about 65000mi. I believe that it is the 6.6l turbo. It has a few up grades like a k&n cold air intake and a banks monster muffler. It seem to be getting about 15mpg. And I don't think that is very good but I am not sure. So I decide to run some lucus oil through to see if that may help but I have not run that tank out yet. Is there something else that I may need to check on the truck that could be causing the lack of mpgs? Or is this possibly as good as it gets?

CPJ condemns attack on radio station in Iraqi Kurdistan
New York, March 8, 2011--Nearly a dozen gunmen stormed an independent radio station in Sulaimaniya's Kalar district on Sunday, vandalizing the office, breaking most of the equipment, and confiscating the rest. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the assault on Radio Dang and calls on the authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan to thoroughly investigate the attack. It is the second armed assault on an independent radio station in Sulaimaniya in a less than a month, according to news reports.

Newlon Housing Trust in Partnership with Arsenal Football Club is developing over 1,000 new affordable homes as part of the wider regeneration of the area arising from Arsenal's move from Highbury to Emirates Stadium.
The first new homes for Key Workers have already opened in Hornsey Street and further affordable housing developments for local people and Key Workers are in the pipeline at various sites stretching from Highbury in the east to Caledonian Road in the west.
Newlon is a not for profit charitable organisation which has been providing affordable homes to people in North and East London since 1968. The Trust has a proud record of regeneration work and is committed to building sustainable communities.
The Arsenal Regeneration programme is creating a mixture of new homes including Shared Ownership apartments to help people get on the property ladder for the first time, and low cost rented housing for local people and Key Workers.
The new developments have been designed by a range of award winning architects to create a distinctive and modern looking neighbourhood that complements the Emirates stadium design.
Hornsey Street
Two news sites are being in developed in Hornsey Street, less than two minutes walk from Holloway Road tube station.
The first residents have already moved into Hornsey Street 5-7, which offers low cost rented accommodation for local Key Workers including teachers, health professionals and members of the police service.
Hornsey Street 1-4, due for completion in mid 2007 will be a mixed development providing Shared Ownership and low cost rented accommodation for Key Workers and local people.
Round the corner in Eden Grove, 50 one and two bedroom shared ownership apartments will be available from Spring 2006, as part of the development of 3 new horseshoe-shaped apartment blocks with stepped roof terraces and communal landscaped gardens.
Northern Triangle
Perhaps the most dramatic of all the housing developments is the Northern Triangle building, which forms part of the Emirates Stadium complex. Situated right next to Emirates stadium and accessed via the Drayton Park bridges it will provide 249 new homes as both low cost rented accommodation and shared ownership apartments for Key Workers. Due for completion in July 2006, the Triangle will be Europe's largest zinc clad building.
Drayton Park
Due for completion in December 2006 and sited in Drayton Park, close to the North Bridge and Emirates Stadium, Newlon is developing 24, one, two, and three bedroom apartments for affordable rent for local people.

Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM review: a classic never diesFriday September 07 2012 Lens Review
The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM proved its hype during DxOMark testing – capable of producing images with strong resolution and limited defects – making it one of the best performing lenses in its class. Costing under $500, it is also one of the most affordable portrait lenses. Its price and strong image quality production make it an extremely good value, and difficult for other lenses to compete with.
Further readings for the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM review: a classic never dies
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Affordable. Light. Compact. And a classic. The two-decade-old Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a popular lens known for producing high quality images. Its wide aperture and medium focal length make this Canon product ideal for newbie photographers looking to enhance their portfolio with a portrait lens.
Added by Bronze Age Man | October 16 , 2015
A much ignored gem of a lens
The colour saturation & sharpness exceed even the 90mm tilt shift.
It's small size and totally usable f2.0 make this lens a gem and best of all it's not that expensive.
Hard to find used but if you can it is a steal.
This lens is not 'new' or trendy or an impressive lump of glass but you will love the results and the ease of use.

Canon's Medium and Telephoto Lenses Have Always Been Good
No one can accuse Canon of not having good medium to long telephoto lenses. Their super-telephoto are probably the best in the business. The problem has always been their wide-angle.

Hi All,
I have been reading the forums along with Beekeeping for all, I am not really understanding "when" to place the new hive. Should I be doing this on the first warm day in the spring or should I be doing it sooner? like right now? I am not worried about honey or wax this year, only having a strong hive come spring. This might have been covered somewhere, but I did not seeing much when I search. Any help would be great... FYI I live in Minnesota.. gets really really cold here...

I just want to get a thread on the internet about this plant; Cotinus spp. Mine is a Cotinus coggygria. It took me two days of research to identify this plant, and nowhere does the internet mention bees and other pollinators flocking to it. Well, my tree currently can be heard buzzing from 40 ft. away.
There is also a U.S. native species, Cotinus obovatus. Both species come in many cultivars, and some cultivars may be more attractive to bees than others as some cultivars rarely flower ( I guess ).
Twigs have solid pith:
Best regards,

Reviews of this property
We felt very much at home in Jorge's apartment in Santa Apolonia district, a neighbourhood we liked instantly. The apartment was endowed with everything we needed fpr our 14 days stay, including WiFi. Jorge was a kind and considerate host - we couldn't ask for anything more and would return again. Thank you, Jorge.
Jorge is a very nice and openminded friendly host,picked us up some streets away cause we couldnt find it and explained everything very well to us!
The appartment is very cute and has everything u need!
Besides that its in a very quiet street which is great after walking for hours through busy Lissabon and up the hill before u reach the appartment.
(Sometimes u can hear the neighbour trough the walls but happyly he never stays up till late) and the bed is super confortable,we slept like baby's there!
We would recomend it to everybody who likes to have a nice,quiet,clean appartment for themselfs!
We sure want to stay hete again when we come to Lisboa next time!
Ps:i really liked the cat planket!
Greeetzzz from Fev&Leon
Very nice, quiet and good located appartment + very kind owner - Jorge = unforgettable stay in Lisbon.
Thank you Jorge,
Magdalena & Michal
Nice to meet you, Jorge. It was a super experience in Lisbon, a wonderful city! Your apartment was our home for few days, but we'll never forget it!
Thank you Jorge!
I spent 5 wonderful days in Lisbon with my brother and we liked Jorge's apartment very much. The flat is comfortble and clean, it's got everything we needed! Jorge is a very nice person and we feel comfortable with him :)
We were welcomed by Jorge's sister, a very kind girl who gave us ideas where to go and what to do. Jorge had to reorganise our welcoming because our flight had a big delay and was very flexible with that.
The Apartment is as on the pictures, but note that there is no door between the sleeping room and the bathroom.
We would absolutely return to this place and can highly recommend it. It's very well located and at the same time calm.
We were greeted very friendly . The handover of keys worked perfectly and we got a lot of tips from our host . The apartment is located in the historic center of Lisbon ,not far away from downtown .It´s very cute and clean, we felt very comfortable and can only advocate it .
Thank you for a lovely residence!
Jorge is a very nice host, he explained everything and the appartment was really good and at a perfect place as well.
My boyfriend and I visited Lisboa for almost two weeks. We had a great time and loved the apartment of Jorge! The apartment had more than enough space for the both of us and a very nice location. The apartment was close to the train station (Santa Apolonia), a Pingo Doce (a supermarket) and lots of great restaurants. Our host Jorge is a very kind man and we appreciated that fact that he could pick us up from the airport and give us a little tour. We would definitely stay in the apartment of Jorge if we ever visit Lisboa again!

If Lattimore is on the board during our 3rd round selection. I say we pick him up.
Worst case scenario he turns out to be another AB.
Best case scenario, he turns into the complimentary back with DW and AB, or trade-bait.
If Lattimore is on the board during our 3rd round selection. I say we pick him up.
Worst case scenario he turns out to be another AB.
Best case scenario, he turns into the complimentary back with DW and AB, or trade-bait.
I'm probably going to get crucified for this post. I would go for this pick assuming we pick up Okafor in the 1st and Brown in the second.
My Mock would be
2nd- Arthur Brown
3rd- Marcus Lattimore
I wouldn't touch him before the 5th. He's had multiple severe knee injuries so it's too risky.
It is no secret that Jerry Reese loves his projects. This could potentially be his best project because of the medium-risk high reward potential.
Heres a list of all the 3rd round picks under Reese.
2007-Jay Alford
2008-Mario Manningham
2009-Ramses Barden
2010-Chad Jones
2011-Jerrel Jerrinigan
2012-Jayron Hosley
Sooo... based on this track record. If Lattimore was available in the 3rd round. It would coincide with our past draft picks
A few RBs have seen their stock rise recently so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if other teams explore other options way before Lattimore at RB. Someone probably takes a chance on him in the late 4th to early 5th round range.
Don't think its worth it to this team to take him in the 3rd. The reason you draft a rb in the first place is to get a guy with fresh legs because they typically don't last long. Lattimore is damaged goods at a the worst position possible to have accrued injuries at.
I don't know if its the dislocated knee that I'm worried about. While it is a serious injury, it is a freak injury but recovery in most dislocated knees go well and the knees usually return to normal. While Lattimore may have the "damaged-goods" moniker attached to him, Adrian Peterson also had multiple ACL injuries in college. I'm not comparing the two players but rather their injuries.
I stand by my assertion that Lattimore would be a solid pick in the 3rd round. Bottom line, he will recover and he will play at one point. By taking him in the 3rd we could let him rest for a year and recover without having to pay him too much.

When someone raises a flag on Canada Day, sure, terrific. Bob and Doug forever. When it's time to honour our brave war veterans, no doubt, they're the champs. But when I attend a game to cheer on the local collection of rink-circlers, I don't feel it's a relevant or appropriate place for the anthem.

In HVAC systems, ducts distribute more than air; they also distribute noise produced by fans. Duct liners were developed in part to absorb noise before it emanates from ductwork. Designers apply different thicknesses and lengths of duct liner to reduce noise to various levels. Understanding the acoustical benefits of duct liners and the available choices in liner materials helps in specifying a system that is efficient and effective, both in terms of noise performance and HVAC performance.

text: I was playing around in my workshop this a.m. and came up with this idea. I think it could solve some problems, such as cross combing and using a sugar board on a TBH. By altering the topbars to allow for bee space it makes supering easier too by placing a tbh nuc with no bottom on a modified cover board. Below is a link to photos in my dropbox. I call them Colino "I" Bars or scrap lumber if the idea doesn't work.

I'm starting to think maybe he is.
I'm starting to think maybe he is.
Eh, hard to tell. Here is a guy that was suspended his last year of college. Then he shows up to the combine and lights it up. There where good things being said about him in camp that year and then he tore his pec. So then he lost two full seasons of football. Then last summer he was injured again and he just looked tired when he did play. Lets see hat happens if he can enter camp healthy and stay that way. If he does and doesn't produce maybe he just doesn't have it or all the time off was just to much.
Bust. gets paid for doing nothing. He's always injured. plays a game or two and then there's another injury. he's not even that good when he's on the field.

Praise the Lord concert to feature two performances in Walker
The sixth annual P.T.L. (Praise the Lord) Concert, a fundraising event full of music, comedy and door prizes, will be Friday, Aug. 16, at Calvary Church in Walker.
This year there will be a matinee performance at 2 p.m. in addition to the traditional 7 p.m. concert.
The concerts are free and open to the public, but as a fundraiser for the non-profit organization Faith in Action for Cass County, freewill donations will be accepted at the door. Funds collected at the concert directly support the work of Faith In Action for Cass County, the mission of which is "Compassionate Volunteers Serving People in Need: Neighbors Helping Neighbors."
Mona Bean of Backus will be concert emcee. Carol Gustafson and "P.J." Matthews will provide pre-concert music.
Then the southern gospel quartet, Calvary Four Plus One, with Jeff Corn, Doug Pitt, Chet Kelm and Jim Olander, will perform. Other local talent performing for the fundraiser includes Theresa Eclov, Marilyn Bonk, Pamela Burnett, Ron Brauer, Russ and Loralee Torkelson, Pastor Judy Gustafson and Ryan Pels.
"Mitzie Pearl" will return to share memories of Cousin Minnie. Minnie Pearl was a member of the Grand Ole Opry cast from 1940 until her death in 1996. She was one of country music's most widely recognized comedians, and she always appeared in a straw hat with a $1.98 price tag hanging on it.
"Mitzie Pearl," a.k.a. Marilyn Bonk, will reminisce about the strange and comical situations the "Pearl Cousins" seemed to get themselves into.
Faith in Action For Cass County is a local collaborative effort among faith communities, community agencies, donors and individuals with gifts of service, to provide non-medical, neighborly assistance to older adults, adults with disabilities, and others experiencing difficult circumstances.
Volunteers drive clients to medical appointments, grocery shopping and food shelves, as well as deliver Meals on Wheels, help with housekeeping or yard work, provide respite care, and help with minor home repairs, as well as building wheel chair ramps and railings.
Faith in Action relies on financial support from clients, individuals, churches, businesses, civic and community groups, as well as fundraising events. Call 218-675-5435 for more information about Faith in Action or check out www.faithinactioncass.com.

Precision technologies have had a slow adoption rate thus far.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
Technological advancements have streamlined many day-to-day tasks on farms. They enable us to keep better records, more accurately identify cattle and track production through a lactation. "Precision dairy technologies can assist you in measuring physiological, behavioral and production-related parameters," noted Jeffrey Bewley last week at the University of Kentucky Precision Dairy Showcase.
He went on to add, "The producers who will have the most success are those who think cow' in every area of their dairy. Producers who buy technology with the goal of replacing people are the most likely to fail; these technologies need to be an aid, not a labor replacement."
Many benefits - including health, efficiency and production improvements, lower costs, and more objective analysis on farm - can result from the adoption of these technologies.
Ideally, precision technologies will help explain underlying biological processes, allow you to translate the data into meaningful action, are low-cost, while being flexible, robust and reliable. Additionally, for these tools to be successfully adopted the farmer needs to be a co-developer at all stages and must be adaptable, allowing for continual improvements.
In reality, Bewley noted, precision technologies are not the number one priority on many operations. Most technologies are in their infancy and not all are a good investment. Before implementing these products, farmers need to examine the economics. People factors must also be considered and applied with any technologies you choose to adopt.
Some technologies go to market too soon. They are developed independently without considering how they will eventually integrate with other technologies and work patterns. "There are too many devices that only make a single measure. The devices are not set up to talk to each other they aren't compatible," noted Bewley. These advances also lack large-scale trials to support their use.
The most widely adopted technology to date electronic estrous detection aids were discussed by Bill Silva, a professor of reproductive physiology at the University of Kentucky. "Estrous detection aids help predict ovulation and give us a better ability to inseminate at the time when she is most likely to conceive." Most devices detect secondary signs. These devices have detection efficiency well above 40 percent and this may improve when combined with visual observation.

SOA is now a mainstream strategy for improving IT performance, yet the architecture often does not live up to expectations. The reason? Many implementations are not built on a proven framework for reusable services. To realize maximum gains from SOA, organizations must take extraordinary care to craft a Centralized Services Framework that fuses business knowledge with technical expertise.
To boost IT performance, SOA (service-oriented architecture) functions best using a well-defined framework combined with built-in governance. A Centralized Service Framework (CSF) can distinguish business processes from technology while integrating them for a common goal, providing:

Gosh, I saw the movie ok guys. Give me a break.
[/quote] LOL I was just kidding ya Was the answer in the movie Terminal Velocity? Seriously , Zim would know better than I , but simply put I believe it has a direct connection to the weight of the object being tossed off the building[/quote]

Force = Mass X Acceleration, so the weight of an object is definitley a factor.

Thelink usedbefore, about the penny, noted that it can make a 6" hole in concrete when dropped from a height equal to the Empire State, and would be lethal if it hit your head. So, anything heavier would be brutal.

2007 Things Will Be Different
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 12:19 AM MDT | By Kodo
I received an email from the Rockstar mailing list today, as I'm sure many of you have as well, in regards to GTA:IV. It was a reminder that the trailer will be released Thursday, March 29, at 6:00 PM EST. At the bottom of the email were the words "Things Will Be Different". What does this mean? Does it mean it will be online for once? Does it mean it's a different kind of setting, or story line? What can be expected? It sounds very, very intriguing and I hope everyone is extremely excited for the release of the GTA:IV trailer next week!

On Monday, the American Library Association announced the top children's books of 2010. Here are the winners.
Author Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children's literature for Moon over Manifest. The book is about a young girl's magical adventures in a small Kansas town, in 1936.
Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won. "You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L'Engle, but I never expected to be put in a category with her," Vanderpool told TFK. "It's humbling."
Picture This!
The picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal. The book was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband, Philip C. Stead. It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he's not well enough to go to work.
"I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people," said Stead.
More Honored Books
The Coretta Scott King award, given to an African-American author and illustrator of "outstanding books for children and young adults," went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer. Set in 1968, the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn, New York, who visit their mother, a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.
The King prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave. The book, which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier, tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made. The enslaved potter, known only as Dave, lived in South Carolina in the 1800s.

Marching orders given as block lacked residential permit.
A block of apartments owned by a troubled property developer never had consent for residential use and tenants have been evicted.
Mark Lyon's property Artizanz, in the Auckland suburb of Eden Terrace, has 28 apartments, all of which he owned bar three. Auckland Council issued an abatement notice last year and tenants had until January 28 to leave.
Tenant James Bryenton said most were out by the deadline, but police had been visiting daily in the lead-up to it. He had had to break into his apartment to get his final few possessions.
Former tenant Marcus Barker recently unsuccessfully applied to be bailed to the Karaka St address when he appeared in the Auckland District Court on a charge of failing to appear for previous matters. Police prosecutor Lila Tu'i said the police had been asked by the council to stop bailing defendants there.
Barker is a friend of Lyon's son, who also lived there.
The council confirmed it had been trying to remove tenants from the property, which did not have consent to be used for residential purposes. The council served an abatement notice last September requiring the owner to stop using the building for residential use and was satisfied he had been making progress towards complying.
Lyon, 57, also known as Alistair Stuart Lyon, has been convicted of drug and firearm offences. He had previously been a property developer and company director. Born into the wealthy Goodman Fielder Wattie empire, he was once known for his lavish lifestyle.
Bryenton said the owners of the three apartments sold by Lyon had been fighting eviction, but ended up leaving.
"One of the problems was that there was no parking for tenants and we kept getting towed from the pub carpark across the road. We've had all sorts of issues. That building has seen it all. We had the police doing raids all the time." Lyon had lived in one of the apartments but moved out last February. Since then people had been squatting in some of the apartments. "A guy who is acting for Mark Lyon has said he'd pay me to clean up the downstairs apartments. I told him I need gloves, white suits and masks. The smell emanating from some of the rooms ... it's pretty bad."

Custom exploits // fuzzing
Let's say client-side attacks are not part of the rules of engagement, so you're left with service-side attacks, misconfigurations, web app, etc. If you find services that aren't part of metasploit or other online exploit DBs, do you normally take the time to fuzz the service and create a custom exploit? Or do you move on and try to find a different point of entry? The scope of time is between 2-3 weeks of a large organization. This is just something a friend and I were trying to determine. I especially look forward to reponses from those who aren't very strong in exploit development/fuzzing/RE etc. Not saying that you can't do those, just aren't strong in them, so it may take a long time to actually find a vulnerability in the service.

Portugal Telecom (Lisbon, Portugal) said today it had signed the necessary contracts to seal the purchase of a 22.38 percent direct and indirect stake in Brazil's main fixed-line phone carrier Oi (Rio de Janeiro) for 8.32 billion reais ($4.98 billion). The deal, drafted last July, effectively means the return of Portugal Telecom as a major player to fast-growing Brazil after it sold its stake in Brazil's top mobile firm Vivo to Spain's Telefonica for 7.5 billion euros last year.
"PT informs that it has signed the definitive sales and purchase, subscription and shareholders agreements with Oi and its controlling shareholders ... The Oi transaction is expected to close up to the end of March 2011," PT said in a statement.
Under the terms of the deal, the Portuguese operator gains control of 12.07 percent of Telemar Participacoes, part of Oi's business, as well 35 percent stakes in the AG and LF units.
The deal also involves a capital increase of up to 12 billion reais by Oi units TNL and TMAR each. PT is yet to determine the size of stakes it will take in these two units.
PT also said that Oi -- Brazil's largest fixed-line phone company -- intended to take a stake of up to 10 percent in the Portuguese company.
The parties have also agreed on the rearrangement of CTX -- the controlling entity of contact centre Contax -- and the merger of Contax with Portugal Telecom's Dedic/GPTI call center and business outsourcing operation, to create synergies for shareholders, PT said.
PT shares were up 1 percent at 8.585 euros this morning.

On Saturday mornings when I was 11 or 12, my mother would drop me off at the Rapid Transit stop nearest our home in Pepper Pike, an outlying suburb of Cleveland. There, I would board a train for the 30-minute trip to an orthodontist's office downtown. Despite the prospect of having my braces fiddled with, it was a trip I could hardly wait to take. From my seat on the train, nose pressed to the window, I was spellbound by the city to which I have lately returned.
From This Story
Related Content
First came the procession of grand houses that lined the tracks along Shaker Boulevard in Shaker Heights—in the 1950s, one of the most affluent suburbs in America. Set behind giant elms, their picturesque fairy tale facades transported me into my favorite adventure stories—The Boy's King Arthur, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Hound of the Baskervilles. After the stop at Shaker Square, an elegant Williamsburg-styled shopping center built in the late 1920s, we entered a world of small frame houses with rickety porches and postage-stamp backyards. These belonged to the workers who produced the light bulbs, steel supports, paint and myriad machine parts that had made Cleveland a colossus of American manufacturing.
The train slowed as it passed the smoke-belching Republic Steel plant. Then we plunged underground and crept to our final destination in Cleveland's Terminal Tower, which we boasted was "America's tallest skyscraper outside New York."
From the orthodontist's chair high in the tower, I could see the city's tentacles: spacious avenues of neo-Classical- style government and office buildings; graceful bridges spanning the winding Cuyahoga River, which separated the hilly East Side (where I lived) from the flatter, more blue-collar West Side. Stretching along the northern horizon was Lake Erie—an expanse so big you couldn't see Canada on the other side.
Once free from the orthodontist's clutches, the city was mine to explore: the gleaming escalators in the bustling, multifloored department stores; the movie palaces with their tinted posters of Stewart Granger and Ava Gardner; the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument with its bronze tableau of Lincoln and his Civil War generals; the sheet-music department at S.S. Kresge's where I could hand the latest hits by Patti Page or the Crew-Cuts to the orange-haired lady at the piano and listen to her thump them out. There might be an Indians game to sneak into, or even a matinee performance by the Metropolitan Opera if the company was making its annual weeklong visit to the Public Auditorium.
This was the magical place that Forbes magazine, in one of those "best and worst" lists that clutter the Internet, named last year "the most miserable city in America." Several statistics seemed to support this damning conclusion. During the 50 years since I left for college back East and a career in New York, Cleveland's population has declined to something around 430,000—less than half of what it was when, in 1950, it ranked as the seventh-largest city in America. The number of impoverished residents is high; the big downtown department stores are shuttered; many of the old factories are boarded up.
And yet four years ago, I couldn't resist a call to return. The spark had been an article I wrote about the world-famous Cleveland Orchestra, still flourishing in its opulent home, Severance Hall, where I acquired my love of classical music. Across the street, waterfowl still flocked to the lagoon at the Cleveland Museum of Art, which had begun a $350 million renovation to house its superb holdings of Egyptian mummies, classical sculpture, Asian treasures, Rembrandts and Warhols.
The region's "Emerald Necklace"—an elaborate network of nature trails—was intact, as was the canopy of magnificent trees that had given Cleveland its Forest City nickname. Despite the lack of a championship in more than 45 years, the football Browns and baseball Indians were still filling handsome new stadiums—as was the local basketball hero LeBron James, who was making the Cleveland Cavaliers an NBA contender.
Signs of renewed vitality were everywhere. Downtown warehouses had been turned into lofts and restaurants. Several old movie palaces had been transformed into Playhouse Square, the country's largest performing arts complex after Lincoln Center. The lakefront boasted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, in a futuristic design by I. M. Pei. The Cleveland Clinic had become a world center of medical innovation and was spawning a growing industry of biotechnology start-ups. How had so depleted a city managed to preserve and enlarge upon so many assets? And could a city that had once been a national leader in industrial patents in the 19th century reinvent itself as an economic powerhouse in the 21st?
"It's the people," a woman who had recently arrived in Cleveland said when I asked what she liked most about the place. As with so many transplants to the area, she was here not by choice but by virtue of a spouse's change of job. They had traded a house in Santa Barbara and year-round sun and warmth for an old estate on the East Side and gray winters and sometimes torrid summers. And yet they didn't look back. "We've been amazed by how welcoming everyone is," she added. "We've never lived in a place where everyone is so involved in its future."

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Custom Zpacks 1oz Cuben Poncho-Tarp
Apr 24, 2013 at 4:41 pm #1302153
This will be my first major Cuben purchase. I did earlier get the Zpacks multi pack, which so far i quite like.
Really looking forward to this piece of gear, though i'm not a huge fan of non breathable fabric rain gear–even "flappable" ponchos, but i can deal.
I'm getting a Sea to Summit NANO mosquito net to use with it during the buggy seasons. Thinking about sewing some 1 oz cuben to part of the bottom of it, but might just keep it separated for flexibility. Either way, i got 3 yards of the 1 oz Cuben besides the poncho-tarp.
Anyways, the poncho-tarp will be flat, rectangular, and the dimensions will be 8' 8" x 6' 6". If anyone is interested, when i get it later, i can put pics of it up.
Just one question though, do you think the 1oz cuben will be robust enough for poncho use in general since it doesn't have the "slickness" advantage that silnylon has?Apr 24, 2013 at 8:42 pm #1980280
I believe that .74 cuben is by far robust enough, 1.0 is fine.Apr 24, 2013 at 8:57 pm #1980283
Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for reply. Are you referring to it in tarp mode or poncho mode (?), because i see them as rather different and i think in some ways a poncho needs to be tougher–at least as far as abrasion goes–somewhat more akin to a pack in that sense since it will be rubbing up against brush, possibly thorns, etc. I agree that 1 oz Cuben would be fine for tarp mode but i have some misgivings about it for poncho mode.
But at the same time, i really don't know much about cuben from an experiential base and ultimately that's the kind of feedback i'm looking for. I'm not sure that too many people here even have 1 oz cuben ponchos though? If you're out there, please reply.
Dunno, i may just put some Tyvek tape on some of the outside where it's likely to come into contact with abrasive elements.Apr 25, 2013 at 7:14 am #1980371
Mark AndrewsMember
@buldoggeLocale: Midwest
Hey Justin…I would love to see pics.
I have been considering getting the groundsheet/poncho but might consider the tarp/poncho instead.
Do you know the weight? Is it the same black material as the groundsheet?
Was this a custom piece? …could you share the pricing?
-Mark in St. LouisApr 25, 2013 at 3:31 pm #1980530
Hi Marks, thanks, when i get it i will put some pics up. I don't know the weight off hand. Since it's using the same black, 1 oz/yd2 cuben as the poncho-groundsheet but the dimensions will be larger, i expect it to weigh in-between 5.75 to 7 oz. The regular poncho-groundsheet weighs, i believe, 5 oz.
Yes, this is a custom piece. Joe told me it would cost 225 based on the dimensions i requested. It's considerably wider, and a bit longer than the regular poncho-groundsheet. I wanted to have a more "practical" poncho-tarp that gave me a little more margin of error so to speak with set up–especially in rain.
I may still need a bivy for severe conditions, but it should be fine for everything else. I would still be carrying my emergency frogg toggs poncho, which could serve double duty for protection during set up/take down, and as a bivy top over my quilt or bag for sleeping when very rainy and windy instead of bringing a full bivy.Apr 25, 2013 at 7:42 pm #1980607
1.0z is definitely heavy enough for poncho use. I used .74 as a groundsheet. I've owned and used .74 groundsheets and groundsheet poncho's. At this point,having owned easily over 5k in cuben fiber I feel that .74 and up is pretty stout. 2.92 and up hybrid stuff is just ridiculous, you can literally make bulletproof vests out of 34 layers of it! I'm also fairly comfortable with the stuff around .4-.5, but I'm pretty careful with my cf.Apr 25, 2013 at 7:51 pm #1980610
Ah, well thank you for the much more detailed and specific post Kenneth! Yeah, i have the Zpacks multipack which uses the 2.92 cuben and it does seem/feel pretty bombproof–been thinking about getting the Zpacks Arc Blast backpack for my wife–i want her to have something light, but which will last a very long time without much repairs.Apr 25, 2013 at 7:57 pm #1980611
The hybrid packs are extremely durable! The construction fails before the fabric, most of the time. I have an HMG pack that has been put through the ringer, I haven't been gentle at all with it. I'm frankly amazed that it has gone through so much.
I'll be out for a 200 mile trip and people ask me if I'm a day hiker "with that tiny pack", I smile and carry on. I'm sure, she too, would enjoy the light load!Apr 25, 2013 at 8:04 pm #1980613
Haha, i know the feeling. I went out for an overnighter last weekend with my Sea to Summit Ultra Sil 20L pack, and ended up meeting some thru hikers at a shelter. Even though i wasn't thru hiking, they were all amazed at how small the pack was. I did go a bit stupid light, i knew it would get down to about 35 and i didn't bring any quilt or bag, just my tyvek/net bivy and down clothes. Since it was rather windy, and i wasn't in the shelter, wasn't so comfortable, so hiked all night back to the car and got home in the early morning. THAT won't be happening again, i just got my EE RX 40 degree, slim and 5'6" quilt in the mail today! Can stuff that little puppy even in the Sea to Summit pack.
Thanks for the encouragement on behalf of my wife ;) I'm sure she would enjoy a light pack also.Apr 25, 2013 at 8:20 pm #1980618
I don't mess around with the cold! Haha, I nearly died of hypothermia a time or two. Sometimes my base weight will be 50% down; pants, booties, jacket, oeverstuffed 20* ee revx.
BTW Tim Marshall is the man when it comes to quilts and customer service. I certainly hope you're happy with your EE. I'm nearing 300 nights under mine, but I've slept under it quite a few nights indoors..mainly while traveling.
Ya'll must live in or near Virginia or PA?
A light pack and easy hiking = a happy wife, a happy wife = a happy you…with or without a ul pack.
Enjoy and Happy Trails!Apr 26, 2013 at 3:52 pm #1980858
Hi Kenneth, yeah, it's not a good thing to mess around with (over coldness). You definitely go out armed to the teeth against the cold so to speak ;)
Yeah, so far i really like the EE quilt. I probably should have gotten it in regular size though. Yep, we live in VA currently, originally from MA though.
A very nice and well thought equation indeed! Btw, it sounds like you are well traveled–i saw that you've traveled through Romania–that's pretty cool. We try to get out when we can afford to since my wife, whom is a teacher, is what i call a "travel whore". Our last major trip was to Greece and Turkey which was interesting and fun. Romania sounds pretty interesting and enjoyable too (minus the cranky ruff ruffs).Jul 29, 2013 at 7:13 pm #2010731

I have a Bear Den 1 shelter in .74oz cuben. material is very nice.
I have also purchased bulk .74oz (3 yrd) from John and it is just fine.
I dont own any Zpacks .74oz but I do own the 1.0 oz from Zpacks
Both "brands" are the same quality as far as I can tell.

Help!!!! I need recipes for no salt, low potassium, gluten free, dairy free diet. Really need sauces, desserts.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Help!!!! I need recipes for no salt, low potassium, gluten free, dairy free diet. Really need sauces, desserts.

Ok, I'm good at the CKF diet. My husband's father was a kidney patient, and passed away of renal failure in 2007. I'm going to give you a few pointers so that you can tweak recipes.
1. Instead of using milk in recipes, use Plain Non-Dairy liquid creamer. Works wonders.
A simple dessert that should fit both diets is a gelatin and fruit dessert, just don't use bananas. And top that dessert with Cool Whip, which is dairy free.
2. Cream cheese and cheese are not the same thing as far as a CKF diet is concerned. Cream cheese is allowed where regular cheeses aren't. You could make a homemade cheesecake and make the crust from soy flour.
Also, Betty crocker makes dessert mixes that are gluten free. Most of these would be alright for the CKF diet because they would not contain any whole grains, which are higher in potassium, etc. than plain flours.
3) Gravies, etc. can be made to fit both diets by using cornstarch instead of flour.
You can also do a google search for gluten free sauces and desserts and simply make substitutions for dairy, etc. Somewhere I have a cookbook that we got when we were caring for my FIL. It had some nice recipes in it.
I'll go through my recipe collection tonight and see what I can find that will help you out and I'll post some.

flhomeschoolmom, if you find your cookbook please let me know the name. Thank you for these suggestions. Did you have a barbeque recipe for your FIL?

I have a friend who can't have dairy (except goat) or gluten. Cooking for her is a challenge, but I've learned a few things:
Coconut milk makes an excellent and yummy substitute for whipped cream. No sugar needed! Open the can the day before and refrigerate it. When you're ready, skim the solidified layer off the top of the liquid and whip it just like cream.
Meringue-based desserts are wonderful. Here ya go:
http://family.go.com/food/recipe-ak-...gue-roulade-t/ Substitute that coconut for the cream. Or, I think Dream whip is dairy free. Cool Whip? Haven't looked.
My MIL taught me this one. It's a favorite, and we change up the fillings. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/strawberry-schaum-torte/
If you're not on Pinterest yet, think about it. I've seen tons of appropriate recipes, and you can search for them.
Good luck!
aka Chicken McLittle
If it's true we learn from our mistakes, I'm going to be a genius!
I can't do dairy products either. I use the nondairy powered creamer for everything that calls for milk. Works great for me. It is a lot cheeper to use the powered & mix your own rather than the liquid.
Also, when dealing with the CKF diet, fluids are an issue. Kidney patients are on a fluid restricted diet. Also, they can drink soda's, but they can not have dark cola's. When doing sodas, use fruit flavored sodas, sprite, 7-up, gingerale, etc. As I recall, he could drink Rootbeer, but only did that rarely. Kool-Aid is acceptable for kidney patients.
Another dessert option is a rice pudding. That would actually have less fluid in it than the gelatin dessert. And rice is allowed on both the CKF diet and the Celiac diet.
I don't remember us making a special BBQ sauce for him. He would use regular BBQ sauce, but use it as a dip. You can check various brands to see which ones are lowest in sodium.
You can find recipes for the CKF diet here:
You can find recipes for Celiac (Gluten Free) here:
All Recipes would probably have more recipes, especially gluten free ones. My youngest son has taken over my computer, so I haven't had a chance to look through my recipes. I'm having to use his homeschool computer to do anything online. LOL. He's in my room and I'm in his.
I forgot something in my previous post that is important. Potato starch is acceptable for a gluten free diet, but not a good choice for a CKF diet. People on a CKF diet can have potatoes, but the potatoes have to be specially treated. It isn't difficult to do, it's just time consuming. Two of my FIL's favorite foods were mashed potatoes and potato salad, and he could have both occasionally but we had to treat the potatoes first.
You can not use instant mashed potatoes. You have to use regular potatoes. You peel them, cut them, and then soak them in water for an hour or two. Drain the water that you soaked the potatoes in. This process leaches out a fair amount of the potassium that is in the potatoes. Then boil your potatoes and again drain the water off. This leaches out more of the potassium. Once done this way, turn them into potato salad or mashed potatoes. Use non-dairy creamer and margarine in the mashed potatoes or to make them special, blend in some softned cream cheese. Also, if you're doing a pot roast, the potatoes in the pot roast have to be treated the same way.
Another acceptable pie crust can be made with corn chex or rice chex. Crush them like you would to make a graham cracker crust.
I am not familiar with the CKF diet but i have lots of 'cooking without' recipes which i can look through for you if you tell me what you need to exclude.
My favourite coeliac desert is orange and almond cake. ( the one where you boil whole oranges and liquidise them, skin and all!) i dont know if it meets your other criteria.

Wow- that IS a challenge!
No dairy plus no soy rules out a lot of my desserts. Can he have coconut milk and/or coconut cream? I have a tasty icecream recipe using them if you want it.
I have lots of gluten free baking recipes but most call for baking powder. The lo sodium powder i know has potassium. Let me know if you have an acceptable baking powder and if so i can post something.
Otherwise, these brandy snaps might work ( if he can have ginger)?
Qtr cup margarine
Qtr cup caster/superfine sugar
2 tbsp corn syrup
One third cup white rice flour
1 level tsp ground ginger
1 tsp brandy
If he can have lemon rind, add rind of half a lemon
Line baking sheets with wax paper. Melt marg with sugar and syrup in small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour, ginger, brandy and grated rind.
Place small spoonfuls of mix 2 inches apart on trays. Cook at 350 F (180 C) until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven.
Cool for 30 seconds and, while still soft, pick up with a palette knife and press into desired shape (use an oiled cup to make an icecream cup, or roll around an oiled wooden spoon handle to make tubes)
Cool and carefully slide onto plate.
Store: airtight container

MacMillan World Premiere at 2012 Cabrillo Festival(June 2012)
World premiere of MacMillan's Woman of the Apocalypse; west coast premiere of Golijov's Rose of the Winds
Since its start 50 years ago, the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music has been an annual destination for new music, presenting world, US and regional premieres. In these 50 summers, the Festival has presented the music of more than 25 Boosey & Hawkes composers, ranging from Aaron Copland and Sergei Rachmaninoff to Anna Clyne and Enrico Chapela. To commemorate this celebratory summer, the Festival presents the world premiere of a new orchestral piece by James MacMillan and the west coast premiere of a work for orchestra and ensemble by Osvaldo Golijov.
Receiving its world premiere at the Festival on August 4, 2012 is Woman of the Apocalypse by Scottish composer James MacMillan. His new score, a concerto for orchestra, is commissioned by the Festival and is dedicated to the Festival's music director, Marin Alsop. Woman of the Apocalypse is inspired by a range of visual artworks from the Book of Revelation, including those by Dürer, Rubens, Doré, Blake, and Marvenko, among others. Alsop has long been a champion of MacMillan's music, and has showcased ten of his works at the Festival over the years.
Rose of the Winds, by Osvaldo Golijov, is a work that features an ensemble consisting of Galician bagpipes, kemancheh, Klezmer clarinet and hyper-accordian , juxtaposed with the orchestra. Premiered in 2007 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the piece demonstrates Golijov's eclectic and unique ability to present a hybrid of musical cultures in any given work. Following the premiere, the Chicago Tribune said Rose of the Winds featured a "bold yet seamless melding of musical resonances from Christian, Arabic and Jewish traditions and ear-catching instrumental sounds and colors representing numerous points of the compass." The west coast premiere takes place August 11, 2012.

The services sector plays an increasingly important role in the global economy and the growth and development of countries.
Services are becoming crucial in a country's development, including in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, such as poverty reduction and access to basic services, including education and health services.
UNCTAD has implemented a comprehensive work programme on services, trade and development with a view to assisting developing countries in developing their services sectors, increasing their participation in services trade and realizing development benefits. This work enjoys extensive complementarity between the three pillars of UNCTAD's operations.
Culture, as exemplified by thriving creative industries around the world, has many positive spillovers for human development, UNCTAD's Deputy Secretary-General has said in China.
Numbers released in run-up to Global Services Forum in Beijing show creative industries exports rose sharply from 2002-2011.

Date Reviewed: April 18, 2011
Strengths: This bike climbs like a goat. The lack of peddle bob is amazing from the new "A.R.T" suspension. I was very surprised how well moving the suspension links could work. This bike feels like a hardtail when you are cranking along but the rear end becomes totally active when it needs to. The bike is a good descender too. It is very precise and stable, I can ride this bike faster on technical down hills than any XC bike I have ridden. I also love the new 10 speed XT. My last few bikes have been XO or XTR but this stuff works great. The new gear ratios let's me stay in the middle ring for almost everything. It also keeps the cost of the bike down. I weighed the bike on a Park scale, and it was 23lbs 5 oz for my large with a set of crank brothers peddles, unbelievable.
Weaknesses: I had to change the skinny flat bars for something wider. I also changed the tires because the Rocket Ron's may be okay in the summer but they don't work on wet west coast trails.
