Coordination (as a structural relation) is a particular kind of sociation such that the relata are of equal rank in the following sense:
- The structural relation between each pair of relata is symmetric.
- The construction functions as a composite whole vis-à-vis its context.
- In terms of constituent structure, the relata belong to the same category, and the coordinative construction again belongs to the same category. In other words, each member can represent the construction grammatically.
- The semantic relation between the relata is additive.
This, however, requires more precision:
- What is at stake in condition #3 are generic syntactic categories. This is the level where an adjective and a relative clause may belong to the same category (Adjective Phrase), and an NP with nominal head and a nominalized clause may belong to the same category (Nominal Syntagma). This generic notion of category is determined by the parallel syntactic function of the coordinate elements.
- Since the relation is additive, the resulting composite whole may count as grammatically plural even if its members are singular. Condition #3 must be restricted correspondingly.
The chapter on nexion contains a section on coordinative nexion. The term 'coordination' is unfortunately ambiguous between a structural sense as defined here and a semantic sense as defined there. The distinction between a semasiological and an onomasiological perspective makes us see that not every coordinative nexion takes the form of coordination in structure. In languages such as Japanese and Yucatec Maya, Irvin and Linda is translated as something corresponding to Irvin with Linda (or Linda with Irvin). This construction does not fulfill the above criteria for coordination.
Coordinative constructions are described along the following parameters:
- levels of coordination,
- number of coordinates,
- explicitness of linking.
Levels of coordination
In principle, syntagmas at all the grammatical levels can be coordinated. We thus get coordination of
- sentences
- clauses
- phrases: nominal, verbal, adjectival, adverbial syntagmas
- word forms: tonic forms, clitics
- morphological units: stems, affixes.
There are structural differences among coordinative constructions of these levels, which mainly result from the fact that a sentence may function as an independent utterance and a clause may function as a sentence, while phrases and subphrasal units are by definition constituents of clauses. In principle, coordinative constructions are described independently for each of these levels. The question of whether coordination at some lower level may be analyzed as a reductive variant of coordination of some higher level is an empirical one to be answered for every language. In some languages like English, coordinative constructions at the various syntactic levels are maximally alike, involving always the same connectives, while in other languages such as Japanese constructions and connectives are specific to each syntactic level.
With respect to the levels of coordinative constructions, the following implicational generalization holds as a tendency: If coordination is possible for syntagmas of a given level, then it exists for syntagmas of the higher levels. Specifically, while coordination at the highest syntactic levels is always possible, coordination at the lowest levels is rare and tied to special conditions. German has coordination of derivational prefixes (though not of other affixes or of clitics), as in .
|be- und entladen
|upload and download
The question concerning the possibility of analyzing coordination at a lower level by reduction of coordination at a higher level – usually, the clause level – arises on the basis of examples like :
|[ Linda is intelligent] and [she works hard].
|Linda [[is intelligent] and [works hard]].
In a semasiological grammar of English, an analysis of E1 recognizes that E1.a involves coordination of two clauses, while E1.b involves coordination of two predicates, as indicated by the bracketing. So far, the two sentences, although being in a paradigmatic relationship, have a different syntactic structure. One may wish to analyze E1.b by some kind of zero anaphora, i.e. as a variant of E1.a in which the pronoun she has been omitted, but otherwise with the same syntactic structure as E1.a. This is taken up in the section of conjunction reduction and zero anaphora.
Number of coordinates
Since coordination is additive, it may be iterated, and then the potential number of coordinates is infinite. Many languages have different rules for just two coordinates vs. more than two coordinates; cf. e.g. the section on topology of connectives. This differential treatment results from the fact that a binary coordinative construction is symmetric, while an n-aryn>2 coordinative construction is not.
Explicitness of linking
The following is an application of the parameter 'explicitness of linking' to coordinative constructions.
Asyndetic coordination
In asyndetic coordination, coordinates are serialized, and the construction is interpreted as coordinative nexion.
|veni vidi vici
|I came, I saw, I conquered
In (the most celebrated example of an asyndetic construction), the interpropositional relation is one of immediate temporal sequence ("no sooner did I arrive than I saw ..."). The sequential order of the clauses iconically reflects the order of the events they designate. This is not so in a sentence like I could not come earlier, the train was late (cf. the section on asyndetic subordination). Nevertheless, the temporal order of events is part of the linguistic meaning of . It can be inferred on the following basis:
- the clauses have the same subject,
- all verbs are in perfective aspect,
- there is no explicit indication of a different temporal order.
Under such circumstances, the inference that the events occurred in the order of the clauses is cogent (it would also be the default interpretation if the subjects differed). Moreover, the asyndesis iconically reflects absence of delay between the phases. At the stylistic level, simplicity and asyndesis generate an effect of conciseness.
Syndetic coordination
Classes of connectives are introduced in the section on syndesis. The present section describes the constructions in which they are used.
In constructions with two coordinates below the clause level, connectives are used in most languages.
|We went to Rome and Florence.
|We went to Rome, Florence ...
Thus, .a is the standard construction if two noun phrases are coordinated. The variant #b rather gives the impression of an unfinished enumeration.
In constructions with more than two coordinates, syndesis and asyndesis are often combined by a principle according to which the first to the one-but-last coordinate units are juxtaposed asyndetically and only the last one is linked by syndesis, as in .
|Linda woke up, brushed her teeth, took a shower and prepared her breakfast.
|Do you want to play football, go for a walk or stay at home?
Coordination reduction
Reduction phenomena in coordination are dealt with in the section on fusion of clauses.

Iconic music venue The Garage could be bulldozed in Highbury station redevelopment
PUBLISHED: 08:55 09 August 2018 | UPDATED: 16:27 10 August 2018
An iconic music venue has been ear-marked for demolition if plans to build a new ticket hall for Highbury and Islington station go ahead.
Grassroots spot The Garage on Highbury Corner has played host to the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Blur and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. But council planning documents, seen by the Gazette, reveal it could make way for a reboot of the old Highbury station.
The clubs management are now calling on the community to protect it from developers by lobbying for it to become an asset of community value.
Programmer Matthew Cook, said: "We believe we're a site of local importance bringing a vibrant musical culture to Islington. With so many of London's beloved music venues under threat from developers, we want to ensure the future of the Garage by strengthening ties with our local community."
The possibility of the old station being redeveloped was first revealed by the Gazette last year. At the time TFL and its chosen developer, Murphy Group, published plans for the old entrance, which suggested The Garage would be demolished.
A TfL spokesperson said this week: "We are in early discussions about the possibility of upgrading Highbury and Islington Tube station and will engage with businesses and stakeholders as any plans are developed."
The venue, which has a 600 person capacity, will host a series of "special shows" this November to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Blaine Harrison, vocalist with The Mystery Jets, who performed at The Garage last September, said: "We played some of our most memorable early gigs there, attended by some of the people that gave us our first breaks in the industry. And yet in less than a year [since it was refurbished] it is already under threat from developers."
An estimated 40 per cent of London's grassroots music venues have shut down over the past decade, including Islington's Silver Bullet and The Buffalo Bar, which have since reopened as Zelman Drinks and Jam & Rye.
The club was revamped with a new soundsystem and bar by DHP, who bought it in 2016.

When John is taken up into heaven his journey allows him to see the divine throne where God "seated upon it," and surrounded by heavenly worshipers. The message is clear. We have only one allegiance and that is God and God's Lamb Jesus. They are worthy of our worship. This is, of course, stood in opposition to those who wanted to worship the Roman emperor or any imperial power. This radical message is transformative for John and for his first century church to which he wrote.
John's Apocalypse is an exposé written to pull back the curtain and uncover the truth about the Roman Empire. Like Toto in the "The Wizard of Oz," Revelation pulls back the curtain to expose the fact that Rome is not the great eternal power it claims to be. Rome must not be worshiped. Only God is worthy of our worship.

Stupid Google Tricks
Submitted by brad on Sat, 2006-01-21 03:40
Nothing bold here, but I couldn't help but notice if you Google for "GOOG" the stock symbol of Google, you may know you will get a stock chart on Google at the top.
But what's hilarious is to look at the adwords ads on the right side of the page, at least here in the bay area, some of them clearly aimed at Google employees!
Another stupid google trick: Google for "http" and you'll find the most linked to sites on the web. This doesn't work as well as it used to.

Book: The Immortals of Meluha
Author: Amish
Type: Fiction
Pages- 575
Publishing house: Westland PressBook: The Immortals of Meluha
There are too many characters. You had it in the 2nd part itself. You have already laden your mind with those. Along with that, you have complex warfare tactics involving the geography of the area leading the reader to scratch his/her head to understand it more better. These setups are unwelcoming and make you rethink if Amish, really is India's first literary pop star. There are flaws but, in the end, one couldn't understand and imagine what's there, as the reader inches closer towards the end of the novel. I wouldn't much discuss about the prose and the characters but in the end, the book has much to offer than a beautiful story and characters. It gives you a strange sense of peace, and tranquillity lingers over your soul. Chapter 45: The final Kill, It is from where the real emotional ride starts and doesn't break for a moment from then. The book has 54 chapters meanwhile. The book explores the vulnerabilities of relationships. It depicts, how as a human, we can be so immature and mature too. It explores and touches too many topics along the line up that in the end, you feel a bit numb. You feel to have got a sort of redemption by reading it. You get down with the characters and wish if you could have changed the course of the fate. But alas!! There ain't any fairy tale. More or less, it gives you the feeling of reading a scripture. Because the feelings that you carry after reading the series is, it can be only felt after reading great books indeed.
Om Namah Shivaiy.
The Universe bows to Lord Shiva. I bow to Lord Shiva
Verdict: Would strongly advocate for this book to everyone. It is a must-read for those who believe in God.

LOL with God {book review}
LOL with God: Devotional Messages of Hope & Humor for Women
by Pam Farrel and Dawn Wilson.
I was quite intrigued when I first heard about LOL with God. I'm always looking to add devotional study books to add to my shelf and this one though not as deep as some I have it's definitely a keeper.
Each daily devotion opens with stories that involve connecting and technology of some sorts topped with a text message that plays part into the daily reading and how we can apply it to our own lives. To tie of the devotion there's four sections; Send up a Message, Text Helps, Your Turn, and LOL. Which translates into a daily a prayer, scripture verses to take to heart, a section to write and convey your thoughts, and the LOL section is basically a short story to makes us smile and go about our day a little more cheerful.
I'm not a huge texter so I am pretty thankful that there were translations to many of the phrases and word shortcuts used in this book. I am sure anyone who is an avid texter and is more up on technology than me is going to love this book.

Use 301 Redirects to Avoid Duplicate Content
Have you ever found that you have more than one page of information that is almost exactly like another? Maybe you've redesigned your site and orphaned a couple of pages which then were rebuilt with the exact same content under new file names.
Using a 301 Redirect will help you keep the value of the old "orphaned" pages and redirect that value to the new pages that have replaced them. * Remember, duplicate content is a huge no-no to the search engines and will prevent your site from attaining good keyword ranking.
Depending on the server platform your website is hosted on and the programming language used to create your site, you have different options for setting up 301 redirects.
Since our clients are hosted on Apache/NGINX servers, we'll address the most common method.
.htaccess 301 Redirect
This is the most common redirect method used on Linux servers. Simply download (most common) or create a file called .htaccess. Add the line below to the text file, save upload to the root directory of your site and you're done.
Redirect an old page to a new page

Fall 2016 brought a fundamental change to the United States. Its fastest and largest network—the decentralized network of electronic market exchanges—began to experience its first ever intentional delay. Specifically, a 38-mile coil of fiber-optic cable was embedded into a new exchange network node, which, given the finite speed of light, introduced a systematic 350-µs (microsecond) delay in signal transmission (1). The future impacts this might have at the systems level are unknown.

HINGHAM – For Laura Bannister, who is just starting to eat meat again after 20 years as a vegetarian, signing up for the meat community-supported agriculture program run by The Trustees of Reservation was something she could feel good about.
Once a month, Bannister stops by Weir River Farm in Hingham and picks up about 10 pounds of local meats, ranging from locally-raised ground beef to bacon to lamb chops.
"We just wanted to get locally sourced meat and know that it was coming from a place where it was all ethically raised," Bannister, of Scituate, said.
The CSA, which is in its second year, is made up completely of meats raised on land owned by The Trustees: Appleton Farms in Hamilton, Chestnut Hill Farm in Southboro, Moose Hill Farm in Sharon, Powisset Farm in Dover and Weir River. The number of participants has doubled since the first year and 110 local families now buy their meat from The Trustees.
"We have a fairly well established produce CSA set up at our other farms and we decided that doing a meat share was a good way to get our product out there," Nate Wallace, livestock manager at Weir River, said.
Full shares are sold for $1,100 and half shares are $550. Participants pick up monthly or twice-monthly packages - with an assortment of pork, beef, chicken or lamb cuts - for seven months starting in November. Egg shares are available as an add on.
The shares are picked up at Weir River's "yellow house" just off Turkey Hill Lane, which Wallace has also converted into a meat market that is open to the public. He personally greets every share holder when they pick up their order, which he says is an important part of the experience.
"I think people get more out of getting to talk to the person who actually handles the animal," he said. "I can tell them that I go out into the pasture and give those cows hugs and scratches all the time. They're very well taken care of... when you're deeply invested, they benefit, you benefit and the people who get to eat the meat benefit."
Peter and Sandra Moll have a full share and on Wednesday picked up a beef porterhouse and round roast from Moose Hil, and a smoked ham slice and pound of bacon from Powisset Farm, plus an extra carton of eggs.
"I grew up here in Hingham and my dad actually started pushing farmer's markets in town in the '70s," Peter Moll said. "It's just nice to see agriculture here in Hingham not only being available, but being cool.
Sandra Moll says a big reason for their participation is because she thinks the meat raised at Trustee properties tastes better than what she buys at the supermarket. Additionally, the couple is eager to support Weir River farm and their sustainable practices.
"In Massachusetts especially but certainly around the country, people are trying to be more sustainable and minimize their environmental impact," Wallace said. "Local products tend to have a much lower impact environmentally... I think people also really value the in-person relationships that come with eating locally."

Google has developed the first quantum computer
If this is true, the group had reached the point of "Quantum supremacy", so the quantum computer superiority over the conventional computers – with far-reaching consequences. A research team from the group in a scientific paper describes how an experimental computer based on quantum technology solves a complex mathematical problem: it provides evidence that the randomly generated numbers really are random. And even in supposedly 3:20 minutes.
A modern high-performance computer needed the researchers to estimate that more than 10,000 years.
The Financial Times rummaged the paper on a server of the space agency NASA. The problem: according to the report, the drafting disappeared again, and Google did not want to comment on that. Researchers all over the world are seeking to understand well, the result. Quantum computers don't expect with transistors that are switched on or off and the world divided into zeros and ones, but use the laws of quantum mechanics. You will need a sophisticated design in addition to conventional chips, the technology protects against external influences, such as radiation. For most people it is bizarre: elementary particles may be more than a state, you can at the same time, here or there.
The smallest unit of information, Qubit", can be somewhere between zero and one, as if it were on a spherical surface any point marked.
This condition can be used for calculations, as researchers have demonstrated benefits – in theory at least. Quantum computers are computers with a conventional architecture for the foreseeable future, not replace but complement each other. You have great strengths in dealing with optimization problems in computer science are commonplace. A few examples: How does a car at the most quickly from A to B? How is a manufactured product is best? And how is a stadium at the evacuated most quickly?
In the long term, a quantum computer has the potential, large scientific problems to solve. Researchers hope, for example, that the production of fertilizer can be much more efficient if you developed a new catalytic converter – the savings of CO2 were enormous. Last but not least, the device could revolutionize the cryptography: Computer scientists suspect that today's encryption methods obsolete, but also new, highly secure algorithms are possible. In addition, quantum computers offer an alternative if the traditional IT to their physical limits. The traces of today's processors are only a few atoms wide – much less, it is not. Thus, Moore's Law, which postulated a doubling of computing power every two years expire. The IT industry is, therefore, working intensively on alternatives – one could be the quantum computer. "More than Moore" is the keyword. The theory is nobody in question, but their implementation is proving to be difficult.
Quantum computers must be cooled to extremely low values, in order to be able to work at all.
The statuses of the elementary particles are stable only for a tiny fraction of a second and correspondingly difficult to measure. The research is still much less than it would experience with the hardware, the semiconductor industry with computer chips. In the reduction of the error rate, while specialists all over the world. When you succeed, the physicist but does not dare to forecast. Also, the estimates of market researchers and discussions on the development of sales contain a large spread. In these uncertain prospects also changes the experiment by Google nothing. The internet group had worked continuously in recent years, which is the basis of publications and lectures to understand. However, Google's application very academic and specifically to the strengths of the new computer category.
In the exclusive round of quantum researchers obligations many of this opinion. The progress made by Google was "certainly a milestone," says Jim Clarke, head of the Quantum Research at Intel chip specialists. This but I am on the first kilometer of a Marathon". According to the manager in Intel expects "perhaps ten years," with fully working quantum computers, "will change our lives." The group itself is investigating intensively on the technology. Forward-thinking companies are already preparing for the "Day X" if Quantum Computers everyday life. Volkswagen, for example, with the hardware manufacturer D-wave started a research project. Others use simulators in the cloud, in order to familiarize themselves with the technology – even so, a certain amount of trial and error, if the technology could change processes or business models. "Even if the commercial use is still a decade away, managers should not get caught unprepared when the time comes," warns Intel Manager Clarke.
When it comes to quantum computers, most American companies make headlines: companies such as Google and IBM and start-ups such as D-wave and Rigetti. Also, the Chinese IT giant Alibaba is working on the technology. On the other hand, European actors are not publicly so present. This perception feeds the fear that the economy on the old continent missed another technological trend. The US Congress has only just over a billion dollars for quantum research, China should be granted even over ten billion dollars in the future of the computer. The federal government calls on quantum technology in this parliamentary term, the EU provides €650 million over ten years one billion Euro. The scientists want the project "Open Super Q" to develop a quantum computer, which deals with the devices that can measure from overseas. The scientists lead to a political argument: The research will help to preserve digital sovereignty. The technology is at the beginning, therefore, it is necessary to understand you as low as possible. In addition, it is necessary to reduce dependence on other countries.

PEOPLE were last night urged to take part in the world's biggest bird survey.
Last year some 20,000 people participated in Big Garden Birdwatch.
Now the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Cymru is hoping for a record-breaking turnout for this year's count on January 29 and 30.
Wendy Johnson, of RSPB Cymru, said: "This kind of survey is a really effective way of discovering how our Welsh garden birds are faring and the public are a key part of it.
"This allows us to track changes in populations and find out which birds are thriving and which are in decline."
The house sparrow emerged as Wales' garden bird champion last year, with the starling in second place and the blue tit third.
Also in the top 10 were the chaffinch, blackbird, great tit, greenfinch, robin, collared dove and the jackdaw.
Ms Johnson added: "Those taking part in the survey need to spend an hour counting the birds and record the highest number of each species seen at any one time.
"The morning is the best time to look when the birds are out feeding after a cold winter night."
Children will also get involved by taking part in a schools birdwatch between January 24 and February 4.
* An online survey form is available from www.rspb.org.uk/ birdwatch or on 029 2035 3000.

News For This Month: Services
Fundamental Knowledge of a Family Lawyer A possible definition of family law attorney can be, a person who has studied law but specifically deals with issues of a family. These wrangles are brought forth by the following parties; either of the spouse, children, either of the parents of both spouses, relatives and so on. Issues handled by a family attorney include divorce or separation, child support or custody, surrogacy and adoption. Majority of the family law attorneys handle cases to do with divorce and separation. For a society to exist, a family is the central unit. This is to mean that without a family, a society would cease to exist. People come to being through birth. There comes a time when things get difficult in a family set up despite all the effort put forward to keep things intact. As a result of these difficulties, spouses end up seeking for divorce or separation. This takes you to the next stage of understanding why most spouses seek for divorce. The first cause is associated with divorce. Spouses who find their partners cheating find it difficult to hold on. As a result, they end up for divorce. The other reason is related to continued disagreement. After couples get into marriage, they encounter a whole new experience than the one they were used to. Failure to meet the demands of a marriage may lead to wrangles day in day out. Such cases make spouses seek the intervention of family law attorneys for divorce or separation. On most cases, spouses hire lawyers to represent individual interests independently. These lawyers represent each of their client and must come to terms at the end of all the legal procedures. Issues that are handled deal with sharing of assets such as money and land, child support obligations, frequency visits to a child belonging to both parties and so on. All legal matters regarding family disputes have to be handled with a lot of expertise.
What Research About Attorneys Can Teach You
This reason demands that you get a family lawyer who is well versed in that same field to represent your family issues in a court. One must undergo a training process to become a good lawyer. This training involves studying law extensively. Exhausting the field of law is impossible thus, lawyers with integrity will keep on reading so as to remind themselves of fundamental concepts of handling family disputes. Apart from refreshing their thoughts, lawyers are reminded of things they might have forgotten.
The Beginners Guide To Experts (Getting Started 101)
The next thing to think about is the level of experience. An experienced family lawyer is able to meet challenges in a court and handle with wisdom, confidence and creativity. Don't fail to ask for the history of a lawyer you are to deal with before you hire him or her. This is one way to earn trust for your family lawyer.

Been using this for a couple of weeks now with Cherry MX Browns and use it only for typing/coding. The keyboard itself feels really sturdy, is wired via a USB-C cord, and includes wireless BlueTooth. There is an on/off switch on the back and it takes two AAA batteries. There is no manual, however, and I had to look online for instructions -- let me tell you, it's not intuitive, and no one would know how to turn that on without a manual, so I don't understand why there isn't one included, especially at this price point. It's possible that because I bought this used that it was excluded, but I've read other posts on Reddit that corroborated no manual. (I'll include the manual for those who need it below.) I don't think it comes with a key puller, although mine did (again, used), and I had bought an extra thinking one wouldn't be included. Something to keep in mind. As far as design goes, I chose this keyboard specifically for its full yet compact design -- I hate having to move all over the keyboard to get where I need to go, and am often using most keys that others may not have use for. The case is at a slight slant and the keyboard meets the height of my wrist-rest exactly, making typing really comfortable. So far, my only real issue is the Cherry MX Brown switch on the spacebar, which I will be replacing with something that requires more force -- every time I press the spacebar, I don't know if I'm going to get one space or two, which can be really irritating. Aside from that, this keyboard combined Cherry MX Brown switches is extremely comfortable, ergonomic, and wonderful to type on.
Great keyboard. It's plastic, but not flimsy at all. It feels very solid. There's no instruction manual in the box, and Bluetooth doesn't work by simply inserting the batteries and flipping the switch. You need to press certain keys to activate BT, depending on what signal your device is using.
The manual is at:
I recently received this keyboard and I am more than happy with it. I got mx blue switches and I really enjoy the clickyness of the keys. Overall the keys feel very stable as well which is nice. The stabilizers are relatively nice and they are not not very rattly. They are not the best quality but I don't have many complaints about them. The layout of the keyboard is nice as well. I love the full size keyboard in a much smaller form factor. The keycaps are DSA (at least I believe) profile and I really enjoy typing on them. They are also of high quality and have a slight texture them, which is nice to have. The slight incline of the keyboard is also comfortable for long typing or gaming sessions. The only real complaint I have with the board, which holds it back from being 5 stars is that there are a few keys that are the slightest bit misaligned. It is very hard to notice unless you are looking close. This is a great package offered by vortex and the USB-C and bluetooth are excellent to have as well. I recommend this!
I bought the cherry MX clears Tab 90 and it is great if you like the layout. Keycaps are high quality and board feels solid.
The stabilizers on this keyboard are really well lubed and put together and there is minimal wobble (close to none) and doesn't sound any louder than the normal keys.
For my unit, there seems to be quite significant pinging if I bottom out. (which contributed to it not being 5 star)
The keyboard is amazing but it is also a bit on the expensive side. If it was slightly lower price some of its minor flaws could be ignored and it could have been 5 star. For such a high price it doesn't even include a keycap puller even though it does provide some free accent keycaps.
This keyboard is a great joy to use if you prefer a compact layout. I got the tab 90 with mx clears and everything works fine including bluetooth.
Some downsides - The keycaps are slightly misaligned, although they are of decently high quality. There is also a very slight pinging with some of the switches, but it doesn't bother me personally even when I do not have headphones on. It is also sad they did not include any keycap puller, but that's vortex for you.
Overall I am still really satisfied with this keyboard and hence the rating still stays at 5 stars.
Bought the Tab 90, because the Tab 90M in MX Brown was sold out. Really wanted the aluminum case, but very happy with this keyboard still. The quality is great. Some of the keys didn't seem perfectly aligned, but it's not something you'd notice unless you were staring hard at the keyboard. Haven't tried it on this one, but bluetooth seems to work just fine on my Tab 60 and I'm sure it'll be no different for this model. Now that I've had it for a little while, I have to admit I like the lighter keycap color scheme on this board.
My main issues with the Tab 90 so far is more with the compact design. It's been a couple weeks, but I still have to look down at the keys to get oriented. The deep dish homing keys and cluttered design make it hard to know exactly where I am sometimes. I'm hoping it gets better with continued use.

To Friedrich Hildebrand 15 May 1873
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
May 15 1873
Dear Sir
I want to beg a favour of you— I could myself find some of the information which I require, in your several papers; but it wd take me much time to search for the facts, & perhaps I might not find all.
I remember that with Primula, & I think Corydalis, & perhaps in other cases, you fertilized some flowers with pollen from the same flower, & other flowers with pollen from distinct flowers borne by the same plant.1 I have neglected to make such observations, excepting once or twice, & I want much to know what difference there is in the number of the seeds in the two cases. Now will you be so kind as to tell me the result of all such experiments as you have made—
If you have the calculations ready, I shd like to hear the result, taking the number of seeds produced by flowers fertilized by other flowers on the same plant, as 100. I wish to quote all yr observations in full, or at least to give a few cases as illustrations.
Hoping that you will grant me this favour, I remain | My dear Sir | yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
P.S. I read with the greatest interest your paper on the distribution of the seeds of the Graminæ. I was particularly struck with your argument about the cultivated cereals.2 I may add, though it relates to rather a different point, that I have seen 2 accounts of moths frequently visiting the flowers of Glyceria fluitans, which makes me suppose that they must secrete nectar!3

Roy Sider's FNSW State Award 2012
FNSW State Award recipients are nominated by their Association in recognition of their tireless efforts and service to football in their local community. In 2012 the MWFA successfully nominated Roy Sider from the Manly Vale Club to receive a State Award.
Roy is one of those 'one club' stalwarts whose relationship with football commenced during his infant years when he signed up for Manly Vale FC Under 10s in 1975. His playing career has spanned the age groups and amateur league levels, peaking with a FNSW Champion of Champions Grand Final appearance in 1983 with his double winning Under 18s. He is determined to commence his 39th consecutive season in 2013 playing for Manly Vale in Over 35s. He has won the customary number of premierships as well as a number of 'best and fairest' awards during his playing years.
However it is Roy's off field achievements that are testament to his impact on the local football landscape. Lured by the questionable pretence of a couple of hours maximum volunteer effort per month to fill the role of Club Secretary in 2000 by then club president Tom Miles, Roy undertook his responsibilities with more than a passing interest of part time fulfilment. Roy has held this position continuously for 12 years. One of Roy's early initiatives in 2001 was to co-ordinate a club strategy forum that sought to identify a series of long term priorities that would push the club's vision and boundaries beyond just a 'season to season' existence. This gave rise to a recognition of the need to upgrade the club's rather primitive canteen and amenities facilities that had far been outgrown by the needs of a rapidly increasing number of footballing (and other sports) patrons frequenting David
Thomas Reserve.
In 2005, with the lobbying assistance of then MWFA President, Linda Ward, the Manly Warringah Pittwater Sporting Union agreed to direct Council funding for the construction of a new amenities facility at David Thomas. Roy seized the opportunity to seek Council's (and MWFA's) assistance to simultaneously undertake an upgrade of the sub standard lighting at David Thomas Reserve, and so began a 4 year exercise in project management, development applications, contractor engagement, bureaucracy negotiation, Council liaison and club fund-raising to facilitate a $750k project upgrade at David Thomas Reserve – which was all finally completed in 2009. Following the completion of the facilities upgrade at David Thomas Reserve, Roy turned his sights onto the David Thomas Reserve fields playing surface which had deteriorated markedly. Together with the extension of perimeter fencing around the creek side aspect of David Thomas Reserve completed in 2012, the fields are now a vast improvement on the granite, pot-holed and grassless surface of the last ten years or so. It is
fair to say that without Roy's professionalism, passion and crusade.
On a personal front, in 2004 MWFA awarded Manly Vale FC the "Secretary's Shield" in recognition for Roy's contribution to the club's well-heeled administration. In 2006 he was bestowed with Life Membership of Manly Vale FC. Roy has also acted as his club's delegate to the MWFA Council of Clubs forum continually since 2000 and has also served as a member on the MWFA Appeals, Protests and Disputes Committee since 2006.
Roy is a good example of an energetic volunteer combining his professionalism with an honest, grassroots approach to football administration that has resulted in a significant benefit to not just the football experiences of Manly Vale FC members but to the wider Manly Warringah Football community.

This Sermon is about the book of Haggai (or Megilla) Haggai is considered a minor prophet whose career as a prophet lasted only about five months from August until December in 520 B.C.E. Two decades, twenty years before the Persian King Cyrus over run the powerful Babylon and repatriated the Babylonian exiles that included the Hebrews. Who had been Prisoners and slaves in Babylon.
With return of the Hebrews to their land and homes it was all in ruins. The city of Jerusalem once known as only Salem. Looting the Holy Temple, the city built by King Solomon. (2 Chronicles 3: 1 – 7; 4:1 – 22; 5:1 – 14; 6: 1-42; 7: 1 – 16).
Haggai is sent by G-d to tell the people to rebuild His house, the Holy Temple now in ruins. Of course, much more had to be rebuilt. Their homes, shops, gardens to grow food, and, also their faith. Haggai wanted the people, former prisoners of Babylon to be bound together for the common good, rebuild their faith and restore the Temple and its services. It's not an easy sell to a people who were victims of war. Taken prisoner and life in Babylon as prisoners, slaves had not been easy. Hard labor, some made into sex slaves and abused or broken people.
Haggai tells them if they will rebuild G-ds house that G-d will restore financial as well as other blessings upon them. Have faith, have trust! The Temple had been a center for worship and commercial business as you could buy skins to make clothing and coverings and food and it made loans and gave charity and provided jobs for many it was the commercial corporation of its day.
But, Haggai had to sell the idea to a conquered people who worried about everyday matters just as we do today. How can I buy food, clothing, obtain water, repair my house, provide for my family? They had the same worry then as we do today but had to start over with nothing.
Haggai had to sell the idea for the people to band together labor for free and use the hours of the day to work at a hard job. He did this by public talks, door to door, and talking person to person. After much work, many labor hours on Haggai himself with all his leg work and talking, pleading his case. He sells the idea.
The people; men, women, and children, family households all come together working hard and long hours to clean the rubble of over two decades, repair the Temple foundation and rebuild it.
But it only lasted about 3 weeks and the people started to quit; the protect not showing up to do the work. Haggai has to once again go door to door and pep-talk the people to return to labor on the Temple. Remind them what G-d had said He would do for them. It was not easy, it was hard labor. But if they would just show faith and have trust in G-d do what He had told them to do by His prophet Haggai it would all be ok and go well for them. Give up what they could rather be doing and do what G-d wanted them to do! He told them endure the hardships, show their faith in G-d by doing what He said do. Keep on laboring for free trusting G-d will reward them. They did and they rebuilt the Temple, G-ds house. We can see an example today of that time. Some who'll keep Sabbath and some who will not.
G-d has said do no labor on Sabbath, yet some will because they don't trust G-d will provide. It's an old human problem. Just look at Exodus 16: 4 – 36. There are two commands about the about the
Sabbath (seventh day). Remember it is one and two to keep it Holy (Holy meaning special) G-d commands six days labor do all your work but on the Seventh day do no work! (Exodus 20: 8 -11). When you labor on the Sabbath you show to G-d and to all the people you do not trust God to protect your from harm or loss for obeying Him! You trust G-d to put food on your table, clothing on your back, and a roof over your head, and providing all the manna you'll need (Exodus 16: 4 – 10)
Now for some people working on Sabbath is not only allowed but a good deed as well. Medical staff, first responders who protect people care for the old and sick. Of course, it would be better for them if they took pay for that day and gave it to charity showing their full faith in G-d to protect them from harm. Good deeds are always allowed if done for the right reasons. To serve G-d! Isaiah 58:13 sets out what you are to do on Sabbath. Isaiah 56:6 opens the door for anybody to join themselves to the L-rd to serve G-d! Only the children of Israel have a command to keep Sabbath! Yet just as in days of old some do not obey. We live in end times when people less and less obey G-d. When people think only of themselves their wants or needs. And Haggai had to face many of the same problems we have today. Isaiah 58:13 tells people to not do their own thing not even to talk their own words on Sabbath. They are to talk about what G-d has said. Jews are to labor in the Torah. But no labor is to be done on the sabbath so for 25 hours I recommend you do not open the first five books. You can study and should parts of the Talmud. You've a duty to read: "Pirke Avot" (Ethics of the fathers) If you're Jewish. That you keep Sabbath Holy! It is a day of rest for everything. When people ask you why you can be a witness for G-d you're obeying Him.
Sermon #072117 By Rabbi Moshe ben Avraham

The Audiometric Testing Module is part of Cority's Occupational Health Software Suite. This is a comprehensive module that enables occupational health professionals to track employee audiometric testing details and results through manual data entry or via direct interface with audiometers. Noise exposure history can be viewed for those employees who have had personal noise dosimeter monitoring. Hearing classification is recorded based on the various jurisdictional requirements.
Key Benefits of the Audiometric Testing Module:
The Audiometric Testing Module will enable occupational health professionals to:
- Automatically capture all of the details of audiometric tests through direct interface with audiometers
- Track employees enrolled in a hearing conservation program or exposure group and ensure employee participation in required testing with automatic reminders and notifications
- Comply with federal and provincial requirements for audiometric testing by recording test information specific to your jurisdiction/corporate tracking requirements (e.g., OSHA, UK/HSE, Alberta, Quebec)
- Capture baselines for each ear to automatically identify standard threshold shifts (STS) and OSHA recordable shifts (ORS); automatic workflows ensure that STS/ORS are confirmed as appropriate
- Graph employee test results with one click
- Easily run reports to view the employee's complete audiometric testing history
- Efficiently create and print/email results, referral letters, claims management letters, etc. using pre-defined templates you create
Key Components
This module includes many invaluable features that will help you quickly and effectively realize the benefits described above. The features fall into five groups:
Capturing Hearing Test Details and Results
- Capture details and results of audiometric tests either through manual data entry or via direct interface with audiometers (see list below )
- Ensure accurate and efficient data entry; direct audiometer interface allows for automatic population of test details such as employee information, test administrator, equipment used, CAOHC, and left and right ear results for each frequency tested
- Adjustments for age (presbycusis) are automatically calculated as are shifts from the first and most recent baselines and percent binaural impairment
- Monitor employee compliance with hearing conservation program requirements using automated workflows and automatic email notifications to remind employees when they are due for their next audiometric test. This involves seamless integration with the Medical Surveillance Recalls module
- Print or e-mail batch recall letters directly through the system
- Record noise exposure history, including date of last noise assessment and decibel level the employee is exposed to (this information can be populated automatically from the Industrial Hygiene Monitoring Module), hearing protection worn, and effective exposure based on calculating the exposed decibel level and NRR rating of the hearing protection.
- Set a baseline for employees to enable automatic calculation of STS/ORS; the employee's first audiogram will automatically be flagged as baseline
- Trigger an automated workflow when an STS/ORS is identified:
- Prompts will guide the user through questions regarding revising the baseline and confirming the test
- Once a test is confirmed, it will be automatically flagged as work-related if the employee is enrolled in a hearing conservation program
- The test can be automatically added to the OSHA log if it is flagged as work-related and the OSHA hearing regulation is being used
- Capture otoscopic exam details
- Calculate hearing classification details based on the regulation identified by user
- Ensure data integrity through automatic creation of a transfer log for all imported hearing results that can be edited and reprocessed (in cases where transfer errors have occurred)
- Identify the regulation (e.g., OSHA , UK, Alberta, Quebec) to use for calculation of hearing classifications and system prompts
- Your data entry form will be different depending on what regulation you have identified/selected
- Identify 10db age-corrected shifts with a non age-corrected average of 25 in the 2000, 3000, and 4000 frequencies for OSHA record keeping
- Easily produce system-generated letters outlining results of the audiometric test for referrals, workers' compensation, and claims management
Audiometer Interfaces
For a list of supported audiometers, see our Interfaces page.
Audiometric Testing Reports
- Run Cority Standard Reports including averages and shifts for each ear, employee's test history in numeric and graphic formats, and flags for results exceeding jurisdictional regulations
- Send or print employee results including graphic representation of their hearing results
Integration Points
Cority's Audiometric Testing module integrates with the following:

Keep your eyes open, always.
Do it to not only to be aware of your surroundings, but to assist in locating people who have gone missing. According to a DC government webpage on missing persons, 3,458 people went missing in 2018. This number remains consistent year after year.
Growing up, I always feared I would be a part of that statistic. My mother worked in the criminal justice system and always preached stranger danger. I grew up paranoid and worried that at any time I would be taken. I grew up watching girls like Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Lee Duggard's faces being blasted on the news channels, the public frantic to find them. And they were found, alive — unlike thousands of others. I can't imagine the utter fear and panic a parent would feel if they couldn't contact or find their child. I can't imagine how a husband would feel if his wife went on a run and didn't return. It's crucial that we continue to share stories of missing people, even long after cases have gone cold.
If you think you have seen one of the following people, please contact your local police department. If you need to make an anonymous tip, you can do that here: https://wetip.com/.
If you believe your child is missing, ACT IMMEDIATELY. Call local law enforcement first, then call the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: 800-THE-LOST (800-843-5678).
Aubrey Dameron
Aubrey Dameron is an American Indian trans woman who went missing on March 9, 2019. She hasn't been seen since about 3:30 a.m. that morning in Grove, Oklahoma. The one lead in the case was a woman who called Aubrey's father to try to extort money from him, saying Aubrey owes drug money and she will be let go if her father sends money. Unfortunately, even though this woman was charged with extortion, police later found it was a hoax and she "allegedly" had no idea where Aubrey was but was taking advantage of an opportunity (which is sick). Leads have gone cold, there hasn't been an article written about Aubrey for months. Aubrey deserves just as much attention and justice as every other victim. We need to find Aubrey! If you have any information on the location of Aubrey Dameron, please contact your local police station.
Sarah Burton
The circumstances surrounding Sarah Burton's disappearance are also suspicious. Sarah was last seen in July 2018 on 10th and Rex St. in Joplin. Since her disappearance, she has not been active on any social media and has yet to contact any family members. Back in April 2019, Joplin citizens were on the edge of their seats to see the results of the search warrant served in South Joplin that police believed had ties to Sarah's disappearance. Police even searched the pond on the property and the surrounding areas, but found no sign of Sarah. So where is she? Did something happen to her at the residence on 10th and Rex? Did someone take her away from the area? What happened? How does someone go missing without a trace? The FBI has a $5,000 reward for anyone with information about Sarah's whereabouts. Keep your eyes peeled, let's try to bring Sarah home to her family.
Freida Louise Franks
Many people have probably not heard of Freida Franks or the information surrounding her disappearance on August 17, 2001. It's very grim, I might add, and doesn't seem to be good news. Freida met with a friend named Mark Terrell Walsh and an unidentified 11-year-old girl and went camping near Beaver lake, according to reports. Mark Walsh and the 11-year-old were found in Arkansas, without Freida. The alleged story is that Mark Walsh tried to sexually assault and rape the 11-year-old, and Freida tried to stop him. Once she tried, a struggle took place, and Freida was allegedly stabbed or killed. But her body has never been found. Walsh is in prison for the rape and sodomy of the 11-year-old, but he's gone back and forth on what happened to Freida, even claiming "she tripped and fell on the knife and took off and we never saw her again." Unfortunately, I don't feel like the circumstances are in Freida's favor, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve to rest in peace. We need to find Freida! If you have any information about Freida's whereabouts, please contact your local police station.
Tracy A. Pickett
(left, Tracy 1992, right, age progression to 40)
Where is Tracy? The circumstances surrounding Tracy's disappearance are extremely suspicious. This is a case that literally keeps me up at night thinking about what could have possibly happened. On August 11, 1992, Tracy left her home in Joplin, Missouri to go to Webb City to stay the night with a friend. That night there was a party at the residence and witnesses claim to have seen a man named Al watching her and asking her if she was wearing panties. That night, Al offered to drive her to her home in Joplin so she could change, and that was the last time anyone saw Tracy. The story gets even weirder. "Al" ended up being found and was a man named Lowell Andrew Billy, who had a prison record and claimed to have dropped Tracy off at a pawn shop in downtown Joplin. There were two messages left on Tracy's mom's answering machine by an unknown female, one saying that Tracy was on her way home to get clothes. The circumstances get weirder when a neighbor who lived nearby saw a girl running down the alley screaming, "Get away from me! Leave me alone!" The next day witnesses reported seeing Billy cleaning out his van. He didn't get charged with Tracy's disappearance, but in 1993 was charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman in Oklahoma.
There have not been any leads on Tracy in years. Although earlier this year, Joplin Police emptied out a pond in hopes of finding her. Unfortunately, they found nothing. This has been a cold case for a long time. If you have any information about the whereabouts of Tracy Pickett, please contact your local police department.
The unfortunate reality is that at any time, one of your loved ones can go missing without a trace. There are currently 628 active missing adults and 421 active missing juveniles in the state of Missouri. What if that was your loved one or friend? What would you do? Please share this.
