These two packages are special in that you do not need to qualify the name of functions, procedures and constants in these packages with the package name. For example, SYSDATE and USER and DECODE and so on are declared in the STANDARD package, but you can use it without having to specify STANDARD.SYSDATE or STANDARD.USER or STANDARD.DECODE (which would get a bit tedious after a while...).
But enough lecturing! This post is really about the fun and/or weird stuff found in the comments of the STANDARD package.
You can have a peek at the package specification yourself by running the following query:
select text
from all_source
where owner = 'SYS'
and name = 'STANDARD'
and type = 'PACKAGE'
order by line
I'm using Oracle 10g XE to run this, the code and comments may obviously be different in other versions.
"PRIOR is WEIRD"
Line 700:
-- PRIOR is WEIRD - For now, it will be treated as a function call.
-- Does the function only take a column name? how about its use in
-- a predicate?
function 'PRIOR'(colname VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS)
return VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET colname%CHARSET;
pragma FIPSFLAG('PRIOR', 1452);
As programmers, I guess we all leave some questions in our code, but I am a bit concerned to find questions like this in production code in the core package of the database...
"ROWID: this dreadful identifier"
Line 863:
-- ROWID: this dreadful identifier is supposed to represent a datatype
-- outside of SQL and and a pseudo-column (function, to us) when inside
-- a sql statement. ADA data model doesn't allow for any
-- function X return X;
-- so we must special case this. Yuk. There's special-case code in ph2nre
-- which maps "rowid" to "rowid " if we're inside a SQL stmt.
function "ROWID " return ROWID;
pragma builtin('ROWID ', 1, 209, 240); -- this had better never be called.
Yeah, yuk, nobody likes to special case stuff.
And remember: This had better never be called...! :-)
Who is JEM?
Line 978:
-- Next two added for NLS 6/3/92 JEM.
function TO_CHAR(left date, format varchar2, parms varchar2) return varchar2;
function TO_CHAR(left number, format varchar2, parms varchar2)
return varchar2;
This just reminds us that PL/SQL has been around for a long time; it's 20 years since this comment was added to the code (1992). That's kind of cool. Does anybody know who JEM is, and if he/she still works at Oracle?
"Under development"
Line 1483:
--## Support for ANSI datetime data types is under development.
--## The following operations, as well as the related types and
--## operations defined above in the 8.1.5 section, are not yet
--## available for use and are still subject to change.
I'm looking at version 10.2 (XE) and I see comments related to work under development in version 8.1.6. Was this ever finished?
"Should there be a pragma?"
Line 3088:
-- Should there be a 8.2 new names pragma ?
I don't know. Since there was never a version 8.2 I guess the question is now moot.
Oracle 10i ?
Line 3132:
-- 10i Binary Floating-point Built-in Functions
Looks like Oracle version 10 was intended to be called 10i (for "internet"), like its predecessors 8i and 9i. As we all know, it was called 10g (for "grid") instead, just like 11g.
Rumor has it the next version will be called 12c (for "cloud"). Ironic, since Larry himself called cloud "just water vapor" a few years back. The marketing guys are to blame, I guess.
"Ref Cursor has problems"
Line 3242:
-- Ref Cursor has problems. The MOVCR instruction needs more information than
-- the other MOV* instructions, including the PVM register of the destination
-- This cannot be easily supplied through the generic NVL instruction, so
-- for now, this flavor will continue to have a real body
-- PRAGMA interface(c,nvl,"pes_dummy",9); -- Ref Cursor
I won't pretend to understand any of that, except the fact that the Ref Cursor has some kind of problem. Despite this, it's doing a pretty good job in my PL/SQL programs.
We are at the end of the package specification, but for some reason the package body is not wrapped (obfuscated) like most other package bodies in the SYS schema. So we can continue reading...
"The old 'select from dual' thing"
Line 62:
-- Special: if the ICD raises ICD_UNABLE_TO_COMPUTE, that means we should do
-- the old 'select soundex(...) from dual;' thing. This allows us to do the
-- SELECT from PL/SQL rather than having to do it from C (within the ICD.)
function SOUNDEX(ch VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS)
return VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ch%CHARSET is
c VARCHAR2(2000) CHARACTER SET ch%CHARSET;
Sounds like a good idea.
"Perhaps more intelligently in the future"
Line 109:
-- Just call the other to_char with a null format string.
-- Perhaps this can be done more intelligently in the future. JEM 3/14/90.
-- function TO_CHAR(LEFT NUMBER) return varchar2 is
-- begin
-- return TO_CHAR(LEFT, '');
-- end TO_CHAR;
There's JEM again. This time the comment is even older (22 years ago!). As the whole block of code is now commented out, I guess they already found "a more intelligent way" to do it.
"Why do we need these?"
Line 371:
-- why do we need these dummy bodies for LEVEL and ROWNUM?
function LEVEL return NUMBER is
begin return 0.0; end;
function ROWNUM return NUMBER is
begin return 0.0; end;
Don't ask me...!
That's it, we're at the end of the STANDARD package. The DBMS_STANDARD package is much shorter and does not really contain any interesting comments. But I'm sure there are other packages in the SYS schema that contain some other gold nuggets -- can you find them?

text: boone Posted March 4, 2002 The attachment is a picture of my grandfather, Harry Milburn Beam (seated on the left) with his dad (seated center, Joseph L. Beam) and his brothers. Joseph L. was born in 1868. He began work at the age of fourteen in the Early Times Distillery near Bardstown, founded and owned by his uncle , J.H. (Jack Beam). At nineteen Joseph L. Beam had charge of a distillery for his brother Minor C. Beam at Gethesemani Kentucky. Even at that age the fame of his skill as a distiller had spread. He worked for a number of firms. In those days the distilling plants only operated a few months of the year and Mr. Beam make a "crop" of whiskey for two or more firms in the same year. And nearly 100 years later when the Gethsemani Distillery warehouses were being torn down his Great-grandaughter (Bettye Jo) would buy that lumber and build the home that I live in today. ---------- Bettye Jo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast and Easy Recipe For Tofu Kebabs With Cilantro Sauce
Fast & Easy Dinner: Tofu Kebabs With Cilantro Sauce
When I think of grilling, my first thought is always red meat, which I've flame-broiled a lot of lately. But the barbie isn't just limited to grilled meats and vegetables; it's also an outstanding way to enhance the flavor of soy products such as tofu.
The key to a making a dish such as this one successful starts with using the right ingredients. Select the firmest tofu you can find; soft or silken varieties will slip through the grates. That, and don't skimp on the sauce: glaze the skewers generously, and more flavor will make its way to your plate. Serve it with lightly skillet-fried brown rice for a complete and healthy meal. For the recipe, read on.
Tofu Kebabs With Cilantro Sauce
From Everyday Food
- 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grates
1/2 jalapeno chile, seeded
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 scallions, white and green parts separated and cut into 1-inch lengths
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 package (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, weighted and cut into 12 pieces
2 summer squash, halved and cut into 1-inch pieces
- Heat grill to medium. In a food processor, combine cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, jalapeno, ginger, lime juice, and scallion greens. Blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Combine tofu, scallion whites, and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Thread tofu and scallion whites onto four skewers, then thread squash onto four skewers.
- Clean and lightly oil hot grates. Grill squash kebabs, covered, until tender, 11 to 13 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill tofu kebabs until scallions are soft, 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally; brush with cup cilantro sauce and grill 30 seconds more. Serve kebabs with remaining cilantro sauce.
Serves 4.

On Aug. 1, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will have officially been in effect for four years. On that anniversary, VA reports that nearly 1 million service members, veterans and beneficiaries will have used the most generous education benefit that our country has ever offered its military.
"I like to refer to them as the next greatest generation," said Curtis Coy, deputy undersecretary for Economic Opportunity at VA. "At VA, we're proud to offer this benefit to, as I said, about 1 million beneficiaries so far."
In all, VA reports that it has paid out more than $30 billion under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which offers assistance for tuition, books and housing to veterans who have served at least 90 total days since Sept. 11, 2001. The legislation was expanded two years ago to include vocational training such as flight school and careers in technical fields.
Coy said that VA can also report that it has begun processing payments for tuition and housing within five to seven days. VA's future plans, Coy says, include creating a school guide that helps GI Bill users select an institution that best suits them, a comparison chart of schools and a feedback submission system for GI Bill users who wish to submit complaints and experiences to VA.
VA also hopes to establish wide-ranging conformance from schools to its Principles of Excellence – an executive order from President Obama that urges oversight from schools in their recruitment of veterans and asks schools to help GI Bill users make informed decisions about their education.
"Three thousand six hundred schools have agreed to participate in the principles," Coy said. "They offer guidelines that promote transparency and student success."
The next big goal for VA is to find graduation rates for users of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Up to this point, these statistics have been mostly speculative and even the subject of controversy, as several media outlets earlier this year incorrectly reported that GI Bill users were graduating at a lower rate than their student counterparts.
VA is currently working with Student Veterans of America (SVA) on a study that both organizations hope will find concrete numbers on graduation rates and correctly measure the success of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Though, Michael Dakduk, executive director of SVA, says the organizations are approaching the study with caution, as four years is no longer the standard amount of time for a student to finish college. This is especially true for a student veteran who is older and possibly has a family or other outside obligations, Dakduk says.
"We have to be very careful in thinking that four years is enough time for them to graduate with a bachelor's degree," Dakduk says. "Four years is no longer synonymous with a bachelor's degree."
Joe Sharpe, director of the Legion's Economic Division, says tracking student outcome is essential for tailoring the Post-9/11 GI Bill to fit the needs of future generations of veterans.
"Tracking graduation rates for Post-9/11 GI Bill users is imperative because it will allow us to not only defend the GI Bill against any potential cuts from Congress, but it will also give us something to reference when we advocate for extension of current education benefits," Sharpe said. "The American Legion has strongly supported Student Veterans of America in its efforts to find solid, reliable graduation statistics for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and will continue to do so as SVA works alongside VA."

OS X lion 10.7.3, with 1.7.3. Also OS X Leopard 10.5.8 with 1.7.3.
I am having problems getting either of the above systems to process PHP, despite the fact that both say that the installation was successful and that the status in the start-up page says that everything is activated. I have placed a file index.HTML in the local host directory which reads fine either by copying the full address into the search bar of Safari or dragging and dropping the file into Safari. This file contains a link to a page test.php with a simple script – the usual Echo hello thing. The link works but the PHP does not run and the script is shown up as text. The fault condition is the same on both systems. Clearly there is something that I am not understanding, or maybe even lots of things. Could anyone give me any hints as to what to do or where to look?

Samsung Warns of Profit Drop on Weaker Demand
Smartphone Maker Says Its Second-Quarter Operating Profit Likely Fell 22.3% to 26.5%
SEOUL—Samsung Electronics Co.'s warning of a third-straight quarter of profit decline highlights the pitfalls of the South Korean technology giant's reliance on smartphone sales.
While strong smartphone sales have propelled the company's growth over the last two and a half years, the reliance on them is a double-edged sword. When sales are good, the benefits trickle down to its other businesses, including components.

- APLS instructors are eligible to instruct on PHPLS and PLS courses
- MOET instructors can convert to POET instructors by completing the POET on line learning
NEW centres wanting to run ALSG courses in the UK ...click here
- Comprehensive internationally recognised, standardised, course packages including all teaching and assessment materials, organisational materials and a web-based on-line course management system
- Access to a network of over 9,500 recognised instructors worldwide
- Access to working groups of nationally and internationally recognised clinical and educational experts
- Membership of a global network of over 250 course centres in 37 countries on 5 continents
- Administrative support and advice via the ALSG Global HQ in Manchester
- A flexible approach to differences in approach in different countries
NEW centres in countries other than UK ...click here
The ALSG and the individual Working Groups are happy to support countries that wish to start a national training programme to deliver any ALSG course and we have two delivery methods to allow us to achieve this. Each of the two methods carry different responsibilities for ALSG and the course centre; these are detailed in this responsibilities document.
The two delivery methods are as follows:
- Demonstration course
For this method, ALSG will arranged and facilitate a course as requested. Countries will not be able to run future courses unaided by ALSG after a Demonstration course. We would only suggest this approach if you are not certain that the provider course is appropriate or if you do not have an on-going training need or if you need a GIC after running your own provider courses for some time.
- Provider course self-sufficiency leading to GIC self-sufficiency
This is the method that we have found to be most successful in establishing courses overseas. It involves a group of experienced instructors from the UK travelling to your centre overseas, to run a provider course for anticipated instructors followed by a GIC course for those same candidates, followed by two provider courses in which they will teach as an instructor candidate ...more information

New Compressed Sensing applications enable free-breathing contrast-enhanced imaging of the abdomen and free-breathing cardiac imaging.
Early user experiences with MAGNETOM Vida
At ISMRM 2017, Prof. Dr. Konstantin Nikolaou, Medical Director Diagnostic and Interventional radiology, talked about the benefits of MAGNETOM Vida with BioMatrix technology for value-based healthcare and precision medicine. Listen to whole talk here!
First impressions of MAGNETOM Vida with BioMatrix technology
Prof. Dr. Konstantin Nikolaou, Medical Director Diagnostic and Interventional radiology, and Prof. Dr. Mike Notohamiprodjo, Senior physician Magnetic resonance imaging from the University Hospital Tübingen, Germany, are the first users of our new MR scanner MAGNETOM Vida with BioMatrix technology. Listen to their very first experiences with the new system!
Benefit from fast protocols and quieter exams for uncooperative patients. Accommodate a wide variety of patients while benefiting from a superb SNR for both clinical and research imaging, e.g., with the BioMatrix head/neck 64 coil. The new BioMatrix Tuners utilize CoilShim technology to further optimize image quality with dedicated shim elements in the Head/Neck region. Your MAGNETOM Vida's Neuro Suite includes advanced protocols for diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, and fMRI. The Brain Dot Engine helps increase consistency, also when conditions change during the course of the examination.
To address the need for robustness and reproducibility in daily clinical practice, the Large Joint Dot Engine now comes standard on the system. Customizable workflows feature AutoAlign and AutoCoverage for knee, hip, and shoulder and MPR planning for fast 3D measurements and Inline 3D multiplanar reformatting. WARP1 offers a comprehensive suite of techniques including Advanced WARP1, which provides susceptibility artifact reduction functionality (such as needed for MR Conditional metal implants). WARP and Advanced WARP now come standard on MAGNETOM Vida. New patient-adaptive, ultra high-density coils for MSK imaging, such as the new Tx/Rx Knee 18, the new Shoulder Shape 16 and the new 18-channel UltraFlex coil improve SNR and enable high acceleration factors.
Body Imaging
Expand the patient population eligible for abdominal MRI with Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE2: Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging of the abdomen becomes a push-button exam, where all data is acquired under free-breathing in one continuous run and where all relevant phases are automatically detected, reconstructed and labeled. With the Abdomen Dot Engine, standardized, efficient, and comprehensive workflows for the upper abdomen with excellent image quality are provided. With LiverLab you can perform quantitative liver evaluation, non-invasively, on the fly. Additionally, ultra-fast, high-resolution, 2D and 3D protocols are provided for abdomen, pelvis, MR Colonography, MRCP, dynamic kidney, and MR Urography applications.
Whole-Body Oncology
MAGNETOM Vida's Whole-Body Dot Engine allows easy, seamless planning of multiparametric multistation exams with automated recognition of individual anatomy and consistent settings for spatial resolution, image contrast, and breath-hold capacity. Acquire whole-body coverage scans for metastasis staging in only 25 minutes for the core protocol. Together with Dot's on-board guidance, this innovative technology improves patient throughput and provides superb image quality. For whole-body diffusion, the BioMatrix Tuners utilize SliceAdjust technology to help reduce the visibility of station boundaries and apparent broken spine artifacts as well as to preserve the SNR for whole-body diffusion by precise slice-by-slice tuning of resonance frequency, transmitter voltage, first order B0-shim and B1-shim.
The Cardiac Suite covers comprehensive 2D routine cardiac applications, ranging from morphology and ventricular function to tissue characterization. Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine and PSIR HeartFreeze for delayed gadolium enhancement enable free-breathing examinations of the heart. MyoMaps provides an additional layer of valuable diagnostic information about even subtle changes in tissue composition – on the fly. DotGO's on-board guidance helps make cardiac part of your clinical routine. The Cardiac Dot Engine simplifies complete cardiac localization with AutoAlign Heart.
With the Angio Suite, excellent MR Angiography can be performed to visualize arteries and veins with or without contrast agent. For scans with contrast media, the Angio Dot Engine helps realize optimized bolus timing at every examination. Real-time graphics and AutoVoice Commands assist the user in organizing the ideal timing of breathing, scanning, and contrast media. Imaging with QISS allows performing peripheral angiographies without the application of contrast with high robustness thanks to a special 2D acquisition scheme.
Breast MRI
A variety of breast coils are resulting in flexible breast imaging options to meet the variety of customer needs. A dedicated new 7-channel coil for imaging and biopsy unifies excellent access to the breast, high SNR, compact design and useful workflow features such as LED light assistance for biopsies.

1The MRI restrictions (if any) of the metal implant must be considered prior to patient undergoing MRI exam. MR imaging of patients with metallic implants brings specific risks. However, certain implants are approved by the governing regulatory bodies to be MR conditionally safe. For such implants, the previously mentioned warning may not be applicable. Please contact the implant manufacturer for the specific conditional information. The conditions for MR safety are the responsibility of the implant manufacturer, not of Siemens Healthineers.
2Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE is not for sale in the U.S. Its future availability cannot be guaranteed.
3The safety of imaging infants under two years of age has not been established. The responsible physician must evaluate the benefits of the MR examination compared to those of other imaging procedures.

BitTorrent has just launched a beta version of its new µTorrent client for Android. Available now on Google Play, it lets you download, upload and search for torrents direct from your phone.
This isn't a remote app like the previous µTorrent offering, which only offered the ability to organize downloads on some remote computer. Instead, you can download straight to your Android, cutting out the need to transfer files to your portable device.
The app's in beta and it shows, because it doesn't run perfectly even after playing around with it for just a couple of minutes. But hey, give it a break: it's free and lets you torrent from your phone. Just make sure you're using Wi-Fi and not cellular data. [Google Play via GigaOm]

Capitoline Museums
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e
The Capitoline Museums (Italian Musei Capitolini) are a group of art and archeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio, on top of the famous Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. The museum was opened to the public in 1734, which made it one of the first public art museums.
The museums are contained in three palazzi surrounding a central trapezoidal piazza in a plan conceived by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536 and executed over a period of over 400 years. The history of the museums can be traced to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a collection of important ancient bronzes to the people of Rome and located them on Capitoline Hill. Since then, the museums' collection has grown to include a large number of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions, and other artifacts; a collection of medieval and Renaissance art; and collections of jewels, coins, and other items. The museums are owned and operated by the municipality of Rome.
The statue of a mounted rider in the centre of the piazza is of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It is a copy, the original being housed on-site in the Capitoline museum. Many Roman statues were destroyed on the orders of Christian Church authorities in the Middle Ages; this statue was preserved in the erroneous belief that it depicted the Emperor Constantine, who made Christianity the official state religion of the Roman empire.

Plays Onstage: An Anthology, 1st Edition Ronald Wainscott, Indiana University Kathy Fletcher, Indiana University Plays Onstage: An Anthologyfeatures a diverse range of plays ranging from the Classical Greeks to the present, including many important plays rarely seen in anthologies. This new anthology includes twenty-one plays from a diverse group of playwrights. Female and male playwrights are represented, as are African-American, Hispanic, and Asian writers. An introduction to each play provides contextual analysis and background information. Features Begins with a general introduction that explains the purpose of the anthologyand provides guidelines on how to read and experience a play, giving students a background for understanding how plays work and what to look for when reading a play for the first time. Includes introductions to each playthat provide significant information on the playwright, genre, structure and style, important elements of content, recommendations for further reading, and historical and cultural context, providing students with a framework to interpret the play. Can be used along with the authors' textTheatre: Collaborative Acts, allowing students to read the original plays discussed in that text, but works equally well with other textbooks or alone. Praise forPlays Onstage: An Anthology Without question, the format of introductions for each play is excellent! This feature makes the anthology very attractive. . . . I would assign this as required reading for each play, something I rarely do with my existing anthology. The information is clear and concise, and pulls the reader in. Matt Andrews,Marist College The overall strength of this manuscript lies in its ability to concisely and coherently educate the reader through the fluid intertextuality of play, playwright, and context. I found the "Introduction" to be one of the most clear and enjoyable introductions I have ever encountered in this type of collection. It provides a "drive-able road map" for not only the text(s) but also the reader who is about to embark on a rich, imaginative journey. . . . This is the type of anthology I wished I had worked from as an undergraduate. Scott R. Irelan,Southern Illinois University-Carbondale I think this theatre anthology will be an invaluable companion to the Theatre: Collaborative Acts text. The anthology is broad but functional. The collection of plays has the necessary variety and scope to be an effective tool in the introductory class. The introductions are informative and lay important groundwork for the reading and enjoying of the plays. Andrew M. Hayes,DePauw University I appreciate that this anthologywhile not seeking to be exhaustiveis representative of many periods, cultures, styles, and genres; the collection offers a great variety of plays and shows the great breadth of dramatic writing. DeAnna Toten Beard,Baylor UniversityWainscott, Ronald is the author of 'Plays Onstage An Anthology', published 2005 under ISBN 9780205405749 and ISBN 0205405746.[read more]

(Pocket-lint) - Fujifilm is to release its latest travel zoom compact camera in September. The FinePix F800EXR, which updates the FinePix F770EXR, will also work in tandem with your smartphone or tablet using Wireless Image Transfer, enabling not only geo-tagging of your snaps, but the ability to upload them to social networks.
The FinePix F800EXR features a 16-megapixel BSI EXR-CMOS sensor, while it's also fitted with a Fujinon 20x optical zoom lens that offers a 25mm wide-angle through to 500mm telephoto equivalent. There's also a 40x digital zoom.
Fujifilm says you'll be ready to point and shoot in just 1.5 seconds from turning the camera on to capturing a photo, while consecutive shots can be snapped in just 0.8 seconds.
But the thing that separates the F800EXR from its predecessor-to-be are the two downloadable apps for Android and iOS platforms.
The Fujifilm Photo Receiver app allows the user to transfer 30 images at a time from the camera to mobile device wirelessly, which in turn makes it easy to upload to the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
Then there's the Fujifilm Camera app. This automatically records the location of any photos you take with the FinePix F800EXR to your smartphone or tablet as well as displaying it on the camera's 3-inch LCD display. Think of it as a virtual scrapbook. The Landmark Navigator function will even lead you to points of interest nearby, depending on where you snapped your shot.
Other features of note include full HD 1080p video recording, a 360-degree panoramic mode, raw file capture, and a batch of filters so you can get creative with your snaps without leaving the camera.
The FinePix F800EXR will be available from September priced £279. Both apps will be available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
