Japanese Acupuncture Acupuncturists in Arizona (AZ)
"I practice Chinese and Japanese forms of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. I am a licensed Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. I have full raw, granule, and patent herbal medicine pharmacies at my clinic at Tucson Natural Medicine Center. Acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle modification were the dominant healthcare in Asia for thousands of years. Ancient doctors had the foresight to document their medical practice. It is not surprising that conventional medicine is looking back to this tradition for solutions and acupuncture has been the leading "alternative" medicine for years. I practice Oriental Medicine in a clinic on East Broadway. Oriental Medicine is safe, effective healthcare.

Acupuncture in Arizona (AZ) - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Arizona (AZ) acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into a number of trigger points on your body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.

"This banana nut bread was very quick and easy to make but I believe the ease in making was a sacrifice of flavor. I went exactly by the recipe and found the bread to be bland and the finished product very dense but not moist."
"Delicious and rich! Super easy recipe for those weekdays when you know you won't want to cook after work but still want a great dinner. Not for those watching calories. I used boneless/skinless breasts and added a dollup of milk to thin my sauce down a bit (we like thinner sauces). Perfect!!!"

Review 2
I have always been a fan of spreadsheets and have used them in my classroom, as well as for personal use. Using spreadsheets facilitates student understanding of mathematical concepts and can assist in achieving the NCTM standards, as well as address concerns raised by the TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study) report.
When you start The Cruncher 2.0, the main screen presents you with three options: Spreadsheet, Tutorials and Projects. "Spreadsheet" allows you to dive into an area where you can create a spreadsheet from scratch, adding any formulas, charts, electronic stickers and/or sounds that you or your students feel enhance the understanding of the problem you are solving.
'"Tutorials" teaches spreadsheet concepts starting from the very basics to an introduction to mathematical functions. Each of the six included tutorials is interactive, guiding the user through each step with sound and animation. For example, in Tutorial 1: Fish Out of Water students are introduced to spreadsheet terms and concepts.
In "Projects" there are 20 spreadsheet templates for use in cross-curricular applications such as Math, Language Arts, Science, Astronomy, Social Studies, Geography and Art. The Teacher's Guide includes a wealth of reproducible activity sheets to accompany each project. Students will enjoy seeing immediate results as graphs can be drawn from the data they enter. Each project comes with suggested assessments and extension activities. In addition, HyperStudio application ideas are included with each project. You may also create and save your own projects as templates.
Several features in The Cruncher 2.0 facilitate the understanding of mathematics. A Notebook allows students to write down and explain what is occurring mathematically. The Show feature explains how the computer calculates each expression, breaking down complex mathematical ideas into a step-by-step process.
Charts are a breeze to create and use. Snapshots may be taken of the screen and transferred to reports, HyperStudio or other multimedia projects. Finally, an Internet feature allows you to create links to the Web from within any spreadsheet.
While I enjoyed working with The Cruncher 2.0, it is not without its flaws. The Macintosh version that I installed suffered from serious time lag problems. I contacted the technical support, and although they were extremely knowledgeable and ran me through multiple ideas for addressing this problem, none of the suggestions were solutions. This problem would make it difficult to use in the classroom. Overall, I recommend the program for Windows users.

The present invention relates to electronic information processing. In particular, it relates to a method and system for processing a document, which comprises text information, comprising monitoring the occurrence of incomplete time-related citations, in particular the citation of a date, within the text information, and completing said incomplete citation. In order to improve methods of automatic completion of time-related citations in documents, the inventional method completes incomplete citations of a date, within a text of a document by applying (160) a set of predetermined completing rules by using all time information relating to the document. The sources of time information are the text itself, the document "container" and the enclosing applications e.g. a word processor. Thus, e.g. search engines can find such documents in the Internet by entering any complete or incomplete dates. Using an index can optimize and speed up the search for relevant documents.
1. A method for processing a document comprising text information, comprising the steps of:
a) monitoring the occurrence of incomplete date-related citations E1, in particular the citation of a date, within the text information,
characterized by the steps of:
b) completing said incomplete citation E1 by aid of date indications E2,
c) automatically completing (130, . . . 190) said date-related citations by a supplemental date specification, by applying either one or more of:
c1) a set of predetermined completing rules establishing for a given incomplete citation E1 prioritizing relationships between other date-related citations E2 within the text information of the same document,
c2) prior art text mining technology procedures, or
c3) using (130) context meta information from outside the document.
2. The method according to
a) the determination of word/token/topic transitions as a measure for a distance between E1 and E2,
b) the number of date expressions between E1 and E2,
c) the number of links found between documents E1 and E2, respectively,
d) the level of compatibility between E1 and E2,
e) the confidence level associated with E2, if E2 has been obtained by automatic completion,
f) the reliability and usefulness of E2's source for providing time indications useful for automatic completion,
g) the relevance of E2 within its document.
3. The method according to
creating (180) an index from a completed date, usable for selectively storing and/or searching said document (5).
4. The method according to
a) the date of publishing the document, or
b) the date of processing the document, or
c) the date of creating the document.
5. The method according to the preceding
6. The method according to the preceding
transforming a completed date specification into a canonical format (140).
7. The method according to the preceding
providing a user interface means for specifying a search for documents by means of said indexes (190).
8. The method according to
9. A computer system having means for performing the steps of a method according to one of the preceding
10. A computer program for execution in a data processing system comprising computer program code portions for performing respective steps of the method according to anyone of the preceding
when said computer program code portions are executed on a computer.
11. A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium comprising computer readable program means for causing a computer to perform the method of anyone of the
when said computer program product is executed on a computer.
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to electronic information processing. In particular, it relates to a method and system for processing a document, which comprises text information, comprising monitoring the occurrence of incomplete time-related citations, in particular the citation of a date, within the text information, and completing said incomplete citation.
[0003] 2. Description and Disadvantages of Prior Art
[0004] Today many kinds of information are digitized and stored in electronic archives, as e.g., in a database. A large portion of such information comprises text, i.e. documents in one or more languages containing words and dates.
[0005] The usability of such electronic archives, however, is dependent of the fact in which way those documents are indexed, as the index serves often for locating a document. Often users need to find documents that are relevant for a particular date or date range.
[0006] A problem is, however, that it is not clear, which date to use for the search, e.g. the date, at which the document was archived electronically, or the date, when the content of the document was generated by its author, or when it was published, etc.
[0007] Content-related dates are often incomplete, e.g., "25 of march", or "in February this year". "This year" is a vague time-related citation, the reason why this date cannot be used in prior art for indexing purposes or other purposes, in which it is important to know the precise year of the date.
[0008] A prior art text search method is known from many word processor program applications. It comprises "full text search". In this case, the whole content of a document is parsed in order to find a useful date indication, which could meet the search pattern condition. The disadvantage is that an incomplete date occurring in the text of a document will not be in the hit list, because the existing technology requires a 1:1 match in the letters and symbols. For example a query "25/3" requires the document to contain the exact sequence of the letters "2", "5", "/", "3", etc.
[0009] In prior art it is known to transform many different representations of time information into a unified format, in order to make them comparable by the computer. One example for such a canonical time indication can be a language independent date format like "DD.MM.YYYY" as defined in the ISO 8601:2000 standard.
[0010] Also in this prior art approach there is no mechanism to handle or complete incomplete date information: If a date indication relating to or comprised of the text of a document is incomplete, because the year indication is missing, for example, prior art completion methods are limited to an obvious completion, e.g., with the current year indication "YYYY".
[0011] It is thus an objective of the present invention to provide a method and respective system for processing a document by completing an incomplete date citation automatically and in non-obvious cases, in order to render it usable for selectively storing and/or searching by complete or incomplete dates.
[0012] This objective of the invention is achieved by the features stated in enclosed independent claims. Further advantageous arrangements and embodiments of the invention are set forth in the respective subclaims. Reference should now be made to the appended claims.
[0013] In short words, the inventional method is able to complete incomplete citations of a date, within a text of a document by applying a set of predetermined completing rules and using all time information relating to the document. The sources of time information are the text itself, the document "container" and the enclosing applications e.g. a word processor, the computer system, the locale information. Creating an index from a completed date represents a preferred use according to the inventional method after selectively storing, for searching such documents. Thus, e.g. search engines can find such documents in the Internet by entering the completed date as a keyword.
[0014] Further, the present invention is not limited to be applied for the completion of incomplete dates. Instead, it can be used also for completing time indications as e.g., "this afternoon", "today", "within the holidays of Christmas", etc. In this document we use date and time interchangeably to denote an instance or range of temporal entities like date or time.
[0015] Thus, with reference to the appended claims the present invention discloses according to its broadest aspect a method for processing a text document comprising text information, having the steps of:
[0016] a) monitoring the occurrence of an incomplete, time-related citation, in particular the citation of a date, within the text information, and
[0017] b) completing said incomplete citation, whereby the method is characterized by the step of:
[0018] c) automatically completing said time-related citations, or "indications" in the above context, by a supplemental time specification, by applying either one or more of:
[0019] c1) a set of predetermined completing rules establishing for a given incomplete citation prioritizing relationships between other time-related citations within the text information of the same document,
[0020] c2) prior art data mining technology procedures, or
[0021] c3) using context meta information from outside the document.
[0022] It should be understood that the inventional method comprises to look for supplemental time information within and outside the document. "Within" or "inside" means the whole actual content, i.e. the text of the document. "Outside" the document concerns the environment in which the document is stored. This might be a file system, a database table, a physical file, etc. Any of them can be used as a source showing some date indication or time-related information for the purpose of completing dates automatically according to the present invention.
[0023] Date indications in relation to a document are thus located in several sources. They can be found and evaluated according to the present invention in any electronic information, for example:
[0024] In the enclosing application like a word processor,
[0025] In the operating system providing information about access, creation and modification time, e.g. through a file system, logging- or tracing system,
[0026] in form of a send/create/ or receive date in messaging systems, e.g. mail daemons,
[0027] embedded in the document/content itself, ie, from the textual context itself.
[0028] Another important source for completion data is the distance, measured in words or the like, between the incomplete date occurrence and another complete date occurrence or fragment of the incomplete citation in the text. The shorter the distance between one date and another, the more probable is that missing information in one date fragment may be completed with the help of the other date occurrence.
[0029] The above mentioned sources may result in completion rules. Any rule may comprise several kinds of sources for proposing the correct supplemental time information. In fact, many sources may be combined to complete a date fragment. For each source, a rule may be defined, e.g. "fill in the missing year information from the file's creation date". One can give each rule (or source) priorities or weights in order to determine the most relevant date completion rule.
[0030] With such rules, the completion of dates can be computed automatically with no or little user interaction. With the automatic completion or proposal thereof, the user needs not to deduce the correct complete date out of the given sources for date information. The user can get a list of proposals, i.e., suggestions of supplemental time specification, ordered by probability of fitting according to the priorities or weights of the rules applied.
[0031] The quality of the completion rules is important for the confidence in the correct supplementing date specification. The completion rules may be different from one field of application to the next to produce the best possible results.
[0032] Thus, according to the invention the document can be related to one or more completed dates. It can be linked with other documents that also relate to the complete dates, if desired. That means the linked documents may become a source to complete missing date information.
[0033] Thus, searching for the document with the criterion of the completed date is possible for search engines in networks like the Internet. Links to other documents can then advantageously be used to complete missing date information.
[0034] Another advantageous embodiment comprises the step of creating an index from a completed date, usable for selectively storing and/or searching for the document relating to the completed data citation. Thus, the document can be stored in a data carrier by using an historical index. The document can be found under either the completed date or a date range (as specified by an incomplete date like "in January, 1967").
[0035] An advantageous feature of the inventive method further comprises the step of providing an index for different types of meta information e.g.,
[0036] a) the date of publishing the document, or
[0037] b) the date of processing the document, or
[0038] c) the date of creating the document.
[0039] In such case a completed date is enriched by an additional information referring to the type of meta information which served as information source to complete the incomplete date. A linkage between those types and the date itself and/or its context allows a weighting of analysis results when presenting multiple completion proposals to the user. Thus, for example, a linkage between "date of processing (in a text processor program) and the incomplete citation "January 1924" may lead to a low probability that the electronic document in question having the incomplete date is processed in the year of 1924 as at this time no computer-based text processors existed.
[0040] A further advantageous embodiment comprises the step of providing a user interface means for specifying a search for documents by means of said indexes. By that a user has an easy and comfortable means for applying said inventional methods.
[0041] Yet another advantageous embodiment further comprises the step of:
[0042] exposing to the user one or more possible time specifications, each accompanied by an indication of confidence, reflecting the value of confidence that a proposed supplemented time specification reflects the truth.
[0043] A value of confidence illustrates usually the probability to the user, that the supplemented time specification is the correct completion of the incomplete time information.
[0044] Thus, the user has an indication of confidence, e.g., 80%, or "greater than 80%", etc. in the listed dates. He may choose manually one of the listed dates without restriction to the most confidential one.
[0045] Thus, the user receives useful additional information. The confidence value can depend on different factors like the number of appearance of the proposed date in the text and the distance between this date and the incomplete date in the text. Also, the type of source as they were mentioned above, may be selected to influence the value of confidence. The user may also enter a minimum value of confidence as required to produce a proposal for completion. Thus, in a respective document search based on completed dates according to the invention, only such documents will be shown, which have a higher confidence value for the relationship with the specified date.
[0046] The present invention is illustrated by way of example and is not limited by the shape of the figures of the drawings in which:
[0047]FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart representation illustrating the control flow during the completion of an incomplete time citation according to an inventional embodiment,
[0048]FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of a table of indexes according to an inventional embodiment, and
[0049]FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing illustrating the different sources for automatic completion of dates according to the invention.
[0050] With general reference to the figures and with special reference now to FIG. 1, a document containing text is subjected to a preferred embodiment of the inventional method. It should be noted that preceding steps of scanning the text and character recognition have been done already in a preceding procedure, if this should be necessary.
[0051] In a first step 110 an incomplete time citation is found in a document. That can be done with a prior art text parser engine. The incomplete time citation is assumed to be "July, 14", and the missing indication of the year shall be automatically completed according to the present invention.
[0052] In a next step 130 the inventive tool searches for further time-relevant information. A particular prior art subprogram may do this. This subprogram has preferably incorporated prior art text mining technology for locating and identifying further time citations from the content of the text, i.e., text-embedded time citations. This algorithm may be assumed to find three further time-related citations, which are stored temporarily together with other relevant information, e.g., the distance (in words) from the incomplete citation.
[0053] Thus, the following is assumed to be found within the text:
[0054] a) Jul. 30, 2000, distance: 5 words before,
[0055] b) Oct. 31, 2001, distance: 33 words after,
[0056] c) Jan. 12, 2001, distance: 67 words after.
[0057] Then, further time citations are searched within the above mentioned "meta information". As the document is assumed to be scanned-in from a paper original, the scan (and store) date of the electronic file within the file system is found by a respective request to the Operating System of the server in use, to be:
[0058] d) Feb. 12, 2002.
[0059] Each found time information a) to d) is transformed into a canonical format e.g. according to DD.MM.YYYY, in step 140. Thus, the dates can be easily compared by an appropriate algorithm.
[0060] In a subsequent analysis step 150 the inventive program tool compares all this complete time information with the incomplete time citation. The time distance is determined and set in relation to the incomplete date. This may include advantageously to create an ordered list of dates, as mentioned above originating from the enclosing application, from the document container, or from embedment within the text.
[0061] Next, the collecting of relevant facts according to the inventional approach will be described in more detail: With additional reference to FIG. 2, in step 160 (of FIG. 1) the inventive program collects all relevant facts for calculating a confidence value 7, for each completion proposal based on the respective time information a) to d), see ref. sign 5 in FIG. 2. Such facts can comprise the source of the time information, e.g. the document itself or the related electronic or physical file, and/or the distance to the incomplete time citation in the text, and/or the number of similar or identical appearance in the text, e.g., 5 times "2002" were found in the text", etc.
[0062] Here is a more extensive list of the proposed mechanism to calculate completion candidates and confidence values:
[0063] A citation E2 qualifies as candidate for the completion of the incomplete time citation E1 depending on the following Criteria c:
[0064] A. Distance-based:
[0065] c1: The number of boundaries that separate textual units between E1 and E2
[0066] textual unites may be:
[0067] words/tokens
[0068] sentences
[0069] paragraphs
[0070] chapters, sections, subsections and the like;
[0071] c2: The number of topic-changes passed when moving from E1 to E2. Each topic might be represented by a set of typical terms or key words. Topics can for example be detected by clustering higher-level textual units such as groups of sentences, paragraphs or sections;
[0072] c3: The number of time expressions occurring between E1 and E2
[0073] that refer to the same year or year/month as E2
[0074] that refer to a different year or year/month as E2
[0075] if E2 appears in a document that is different from the one in which E1 appears but related via links or references:
[0076] c4: The number of links between the respective documents corresponds to the level of indirection;
[0077] B. Other:
[0078] c5: The level of compatibility between E1 and E2, assume E1=D1.M1.Y1 and E2=D2.M2.Y2, * means unknown; an example of this criterion could look as follows:
[0080] c6: The confidence level associated with E2, if E2 has been obtained by automatic completion;
[0081] c7: The frequency of occurrence of time expressions with the same year, year and month within E2's container (document, document collection, or context of use);
[0082] if E2 has been obtained from the context, in which the document containing E1 is used (e.g. database, http header, . . . ),
[0083] c8: The reliability and usefulness of E2's source for providing candidates
[0084] c9: for structured documents:
[0085] The importance of E2 within document (e.g. date stamp in letter)
[0086] Each of these criteria c1 to c9 (i=1, . . . 9) corresponds to a rule of the following type:
CVci(E1, E2)=Mci(E1, E2)*Wci
[0087] where
[0088] CVci is the confidence value for completing E1 on the basis of E2,
[0089] Mci is the measure corresponding to one of the criteria ci above (such as the number of words between E1 and E2),
[0090] Wci is a fixed factor associated with the corresponding criterion ci that defines its relative importance for the calculation of CVci( ) compared with the other criteria.
[0091] Both, Wc and Mc will typically be normalized to a range such as 0 . . . 1 yielding to an overall confidence value within the same range. This ensures that confidence values obtained using different criteria can be compared.
[0092] The set of candidates for completing E1 is calculated by computing CVc(E1, E2)—see reference sign 7 in FIG. 2—for each selected time citation E2=/=E1—see reference sign 5 in FIG. 2 and each applicable criterion C, see step 170.
[0093] Assuming E1 occurs in a document D1, E2 may be
[0094] a. extracted from D1, or
[0095] b. from a document that can be reached within a certain maximum link-distance from D1 or
[0096] c. from the use context of D1.
[0097] Examples for candidates obtained from a document's use context are:
[0098] Dates as provided by the operating system, e.g. file creation or modification dates,
[0099] Dates from a database in which the document is stored,
[0100] Dates from a workflow system that transports the document to different processes,
[0101] Dates from different documents within the same directory, database or container,
[0102] The process starts with an incomplete date citation with the smallest degree of missing information and tries to complete it with sources that provide the missing information. This date can then be used to further complete other incomplete date citations that may have a higher degree of missing information. That means completed dates can basically become a source for completion.
[0103] The calculation of confidence values can be stopped if one leads to a confidence value that exceeds a certain threshold, after a certain period of time, of when all available criteria have been applied.
[0104] The candidate selected for the completion of E1 is the one with the maximum confidence value. In case the maximum confidence value is shared by more than one candidate, the system uses a conflict resolution strategy to select a single candidate.
[0105] If CVx=max(CVi) for all applicable criteria i, and CVx(E1, E2)=CVy(E1, E3) for E2=/=E3 one of the following conflict resolution strategies can be applied:
[0106] 1. Selecting E2, if Wx>Wy (based on criteria weights—not applicable if x=y), otherwise select E3;
[0107] 2. Defining a criterion z as primary and compare CVz(E1, E2) with CVz(E1, E3). If the former is greater than the latter, select E2, otherwise select E3. Preferably, z should be defined in a way that CVz(E1, E2)=CVz(E1, E3), only if E2=E3. An example for such a z is the distance on the basis of tokens.
[0108] 3. Presenting the list of candidates with maximum confidence value or with a confidence value above a certain limit to the user so (s)he can select a candidate.
[0109] Whether strategy no. 3 is an option at all, depends on the degree of interactivity which is appropriate for the system that carries out the inventive program. If an index is to be created in 'batch mode' any type of user interaction will preferably be prevented, while above option 3. may be an appropriate action when the system is used to do 'historical studies' on a set of given documents.
[0110] An advantageous way provided by the present invention is to present to the user the plurality of concurrent "preferred" proposals for completing the date, accompanied by the above mentioned probability value, and an optional indication of the source, i.e., a reference (ref.ID) for where the supplementary information needed for completing the incomplete date was found.
[0111] This could be done as follows:
[0112] The evaluation according to the invention may be adapted to any individually different situations to provide better results. For example, the text-embedded information may be more useful to be exploited for completing incomplete dates instead of the first electronic store date. This may apply in situations, for example, in which an archive of historical documents telling stories which lay 300 years in the past is subjected to the inventional method.
[0113] Or, when the creation date of a business letter shall be completed, the time information 5 from the document "container", the electronic store date, has a higher priority compared to a date occurring in the text content.
[0114] In step 180 the program creates for the incomplete time citation an index table 1, which is shown in FIG. 2. At least in step 190 this index table 1 of an incomplete time citation is displayed to the user.
[0115] Thus, as a skilled reader may appreciate, such a historical index may be combined with other text search features, and may be enable for setting up quite abstract queries like:
[0116] "Find all documents referring to Mr. X's car accident in December 2000", or
[0117] "Find all documents referring to "Boston Tea party in 1774", or the like.
[0118]FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of such an index table 1. It includes an optional type specification 3 for the text-embedded time citations, as e.g.
[0119] Type 1=narrative content,
[0120] Type 2=signature type (to be mostly applied at the end of a letter or document in general),
[0121] Type 3=exceptional status, to be applied in cases in which it is obvious that the incomplete date cannot easily be completed, because it is present in a series of further incomplete dates or complete dates, which cite a "turbulent mixture" of different year indications, for example.
[0122] Said table further includes the proposed supplemental time specifications 5 and respective confidence values 7. Thus, the user can find the type of each incomplete time citations of a document and all proposed time specifications with their confidence values. The completed date can thus be used as an index as mentioned above.
[0123] With reference to FIG. 3 an example is given illustrating the inventional way of using date indications (see the date-related text in the figure) in relation to a text document originally created in a word processor program and later modified and reviewed by the author, for automatically completing an incomplete date depicted in the text of the document having reference sign 10. As can be seen from the figure said date indications are thus located in several sources. They can be found and evaluated according to the present invention in any electronic information, for example:
[0124] In the enclosing application like a word processor (see application/database frame),
[0125] In the operating system providing information about access, creation and modification time, e.g. through a file system, logging- or tracing (see the system operating system frame),
[0126] in form of a send/create/ or receive date in messaging systems, e.g. mail daemons (not depicted),
[0127] embedded in the document/content itself, ie, from the textual context itself (see document/content frame).
[0128] A potential area in which the invention can be applied is in enriching document archives with documents which were not stored therein before, due to the lack of a complete date as an order criterion.
[0129] The inventional program can also be useful for search engines in the Internet. The user may look for example for all documents, which comprise the date of e.g., 13.07.2001 with a confidence value of more than 50% in their text content.
[0130] The present invention can be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. A tool according to the present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein is suited. A typical combination of hardware and software could be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein.
[0131] The present invention can also be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which—when loaded in a computer system—is able to carry out these methods.
[0132] Computer program means or computer program in the present context mean any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following
[0133] a) conversion to another language, code or notation;
[0134] b) reproduction in a different material form.

A mansion in Moulins shuttered for a century opens as a museum.
MOULINS, France — For most of the past century, the French town of Moulins has lived with a mystery: What lay behind the locked doors and shuttered windows of the Maison Mantin?
The imposing 19th-century mansion was sealed up shortly after its owner, the wealthy Louis Mantin, died in 1905. His collections of artwork, furniture and antiquities were left to attract dust, mold and woodworm.
There were, of course, stories about the large mansion standing empty, right in the heart of Moulins, a town of 23,000 people located in the dead center of France. One rumor claimed the house contained a macabre collection of skeletons assembled by Monsieur Mantin.
But the most popular story was that Mantin had ordered his house sealed after his death, with strict instructions to open it a century later as a museum and monument to his somewhat unorthodox lifestyle.
Like all good rumors, there is a grain of truth to that one. Mantin did want his house to be a museum a century after his death, bequeathing it to the town for this very purpose. But he didn't order it to be sealed.
"It was very strange, the house became a sort of urban myth," said assistant curator Maud Leyoudec. "People didn't know what was in this house and had fantasies."
In fact, Mantin's house was opened to the public shortly after he died, but since there was nothing particularly unusual about it at the time, it was eventually boarded up and abandoned.
Two world wars left Maison Mantin unscathed (although the Nazis did commandeer some old weapons from the museum next door), as did the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. A new millennium dawned; the house stayed shut.
As the centenary of Mantin's death approached, the town was forced to act on Mantin's bequest or face losing the building for good. By rights, his surviving great-niece Isabelle de Chavagnac could claim it back. She didn't, so the town began its work.
Hired to help prepare Maison Mantin for visitors, Leyoudec first gained access to the building in 2004. She didn't find any skeletons, but she did find a "musty and awful" house, crumbling with neglect.
However, it is thanks to this very neglect that Moulins now has something unique, even in history-steeped France: a time capsule that freeze-framed French bourgeois life at the beginning of the last century; unspoiled by subsequent occupants.
It has taken $4.6 million and a team of up to 50 experts under the supervision of Moulins' Anne-de-Beaujeu museum to return the house to its original state, recreating the slightly odd world of Monsieur Mantin with meticulous attention to detail.
And it is in these charming details that the secret character of Mantin — of which little was known outside a brief resume covering his education and career in local government — comes to life.
There are the innovations: his fully-plumbed roll-top bath, replete with overhead shower, flushing toilet and electric light fittings were all cutting-edge for 19th-century Moulins.
There are the valuable artefacts: rich tapestries, extremely rare printed leather wall coverings, contemporary artworks, stuffed creatures and fine furnishings.
And then there are the other items that reveal a man leading a double life — a life beyond his respectable outward image of a retired bureaucrat and wealthy pursuer of knowledge.
"Louis Mantin was representative of the bourgeois gentleman of the time and his house is a real specimen," said Leyoudec. "But at the same time, he was a bit eccentric and there are some pieces of decoration that are very funny."

DeMarcus Cousins on Chris Paul: 'I don't respect a cheater'
DeMarcus Cousins does not like Chris Paul. We realized that earlier this year when Cousins refused to let teammate Isaiah Thomas shake Paul's hand after the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings. What we don't really understand is why Cousins holds so much animosity toward CP3. In a recent feature written by Grantland's Jonathan…Read More

Guess where I'm eating...green chile?
Smother love: It's easy being green in Denver in September, when the smell of roasting chiles overrides the odor of exhaust along Federal Boulevard, and the green chile at your favorite Mexican joint carries the heat of the new harvest.
Lori Midson
For the next several weeks, Cafe Society will feature some of our favorite green chiles. We started last week with Phil's Place, and continued through El Tejado, La Fiesta, Bonnie Brae Tavern, Benny's and a still-unidentified spot where green chile makes a very occasional, but delicious, appearance.
Today's verde, piquant and abundant with chunks of braised pork, is made with Anaheim chiles and jalapeños, which give the green chile a heavy jolt of heat.
Can you guess where I'm eating?

General Motors built 12 Futurliners for the three-year futurama road show in the early 1940s known as the "Parade of Progress." Nine of them still exist, and one would think that in a world where we can use a carbon molecule to divine the birth date of a dinosaur and have tiny robots sorting out our feng shui on Mars, we could keep track of nine vehicles. Yet according to an article on Hemmings Daily, that's not the case; the nine extant Futurliners have been through so many hands and/or so much part-swapping and neglect that it's, so far, impossible to be certain about the provenance of each.
The Hemmings piece does its best to assign a number to each and recount their histories based on the exhibits they housed for the "Parade of Progress." Nevertheless, at the end of the investigation there are still loose ends, like what happened to the other three and why two of the known models can claim to be the Number 7 Futurliner. Head over to Hemmings to read the fascinating whole story.

An anti-whaling protest group has accused a Japanese whaling vessel of "intentionally ramming" one of its protest boats during a standoff in Antarctic waters.
The Yushin Maru 3, a harpoon ship, tore a metre-deep hole in the hull of the Bob Barker, the vessel with the Sea Shepherd protest group on board, in Australia's Antarctic territory, the group said in a statement on its website.
"No crew was injured during the collision," the statement said.
"The Bob Barker continues to block the slipway of the Nisshin Maru, preventing the transfer of slaughtered whales and effectively shutting down illegal whaling operations."
Paul Watson, head of the Sea Shepherd mission, said the incident demonstrated a "continued escalation of violence" by the Japanese, following a collision which sank the activists' trimaran, the Ady Gil, on January 6.
'Endangering crew'
"Because the whalers got away basically scot-free with the outrageous sinking of the Ady Gil, they now apparently think they can do whatever they want and they appear to have no qualms about endangering Sea Shepherd crew," Watson said.
"Australian and New Zealand lives are at risk every day in these waters," he said, referring to his mostly antipodean crew.
"What we really need is for the governments of Australia and New Zealand to step up and start enforcing maritime laws in these waters, or who knows what the whalers will do next."
Australia and New Zealand are investigating the collision between Japan's Shonan Maru No.2 and the Ady Gil, which caused the protest boat to break in two and sink without trace.
Australia expressed strong diplomatic concerns over the collision and claims the Japanese fleet chartered spying flights out of Australia.
Both the whalers and the protesters blame each other for the crash.
Japan hunts whales using a loophole in a 1986 international moratorium which allows "lethal research", and skirmishes with activists have grown increasingly sophisticated and intense.

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 48 (4). pp. 245-251. ISSN 0233-111X
Full text not available from this repository.
Efflux-mediated resistance has been recognized as an important contributor of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, especially in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. This study was carried out to detect and analyze efflux genes (norA and mdeA) and active efflux activity in a collection of Malaysian MRSA and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) clinical isolates. Nineteen isolates including three ATCC S. aureus reference strains were subjected to PCR detection and DNA sequence analysis for norA and mdeA and active efflux detection using modified minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. From the 19 isolates, 18 isolates harboured the mdeA gene while 16 isolates contained norA gene. DNA sequence analysis reveals 98–100% correlation between the PCR product and the published DNA sequences in GenBank. In addition, 16 isolates exhibited active efflux activity using the ethidium bromide (EtBr)- reserpine combination MIC assay. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the detection of efflux genes and active efflux activity amongst Malaysian clinical isolates of MRSA/MSSA. Detection of active efflux activity may explain the previous report on efflux-mediated drug resistance profile amongst the local clinical isolates.

Pakistan floods update: Barnabas helps Christians to re-establish livelihoods
Country/Region: South and East Asia, Pakistan
Ongoing support from Barnabas Aid is helping Christian families affected by the floods in Pakistan to re-establish their livelihoods and send their children back to school.
Vast swathes of the country were submerged by floodwaters in the summer of 2010, which destroyed 1.7 million homes and over 5.4 million acres of farmland. Just as people were starting to rebuild their lives, the country was hit by flooding again the following year.
Barnabas provided the seed for this Christian family's wheat field
Barnabas Aid has been helping Christian families affected by the crises from the beginning. After providing emergency aid in the initial stages, we established a regular food programme, which supplies monthly packages to 909 families. We are also continuing to rebuild and repair homes.
Many farmers lost their livelihood as a result of the destruction of farmland. A quarter of farmers missed the winter planting season last year because their land was still submerged or they did not receive help in time.
Among the families that Barnabas is supporting, around 200 are farmers, of whom 80 own some land, while the others are impoverished daily labourers or tenants.
In November last year, we provided 32 Christian families in Rangpur, southern Punjab, with seed and fertilizer for sowing winter wheat crops. They are now reaping the benefit of the March harvest: it has provided for their own food needs, and the profits are helping them to pay off the debts they have incurred as a result of two years without harvests.
Barnabas Aid is also building a school and church in the same area.
Fifty Christian farming families, in Sanghar District, Sindh, which was one of the worst-affected areas, have also received help from Barnabas Aid. We provided them with rice seed, which they sowed in April this year.
Back to school
The successive floods caused a drastic decrease in the number of children going to school in Pakistan; school buildings were damaged and destroyed, while some were turned into shelters for homeless families.
The great losses incurred by families as a result of the floods meant that many could no longer afford to send their children to school when classes resumed.
But thanks to the food packages from Barnabas Aid, which free up some of the families' meagre income, many Christian parents have been able to send their children back to school.
One of them, Arif, lost everything in the floods. He told a visiting Barnabas staff member that he had been feeling very uncertain about his family's future and was praying to God for help. Arif said that God answered his prayers by sending Barnabas Aid. The provision of food has enabled him to set aside money for books and school uniforms for his children.
Saba and her two siblings are now also going to school. The basic tent that the family lives in was damaged by the floods, and their daily existence is a struggle; to prepare a meal they have to walk some distance to fetch water and cut wood from the forest.
Our Christian partners in Pakistan who hand over the monthly food packages to Saba's family said:
If you did not help us, this progress and prosperity would not have been possible.

Do you stand up for yourself to patients? - page 5

- 5Feb 4, '13 by tewdlesEstablishment of professional boundaries for delivery of nursing care is important.
Patients and family members who are abusive to staff should be educated as to the expectations for their behavior. The patient and family Rights and Responsibilities of your agency should define those expectations.
- 4Feb 4, '13 by LadyFree28Quote from PunkBenRN
I don't know why nurses feel they have to fall victim to this. It is not in your job description. Even someone who is confused has no right to treat you like that. If you have self-confidence issues or self-esteem issues, do some soul searching. Practice what you would say when someone is unreasonable. Write down how you would respond, it will help you gain confidence when the time comes. And most importantly, if your manager will not back you up in a situation like this, is this really somewhere you want to work? It will make a hell of a story in your next job interview
^ not only is it NOT a part if our job description, but in most states anyone threatening (assault) and attempts to cause bodily harm (battery) is a FELONY in most states.
I will call the police, fill out incident reports (I have filled out incident reports for pts who were out if control, as well as with people as a witness) and do whatever it takes to make my job a safe environment. And If management fires me for trying to maintain a safe environment, they will be in hot water...they will be paying ME AND the FEDS...that's their loss.
So if you ever THINK or HEAR someone tell you that nurses are supposed to "take IT," give them this info: http://www.ena.org/IENR/Documents/St...d%20Felony.pdf
and THEN say "Your Welcome...now let's fund a way to establish some boundaries for the sake of our pts!!!"
- 4Feb 4, '13 by ♪♫ in my ♥Still reading through this thread but just wanted to post: I'm happy to get the charge... none of them are the types to put up with loud, obnoxious people either.
First the charge, then the cops.
- 4Feb 4, '13 by rn2be73one of the many reasons i no longer have any desire whatsoever to continue in the nursing profession....the "customer" is NOT always right and since when did healthcare become customer service anyway? One of the reasons our healthcare system is broken
- 1Feb 4, '13 by medic0681you must, but I have seen "the suits" throw nurse under the bus for it..sad
- 1Feb 5, '13 by canned_breadAbsolutely, as long as you are polite and professional, you have the right to stand up for yourself. One time I needed to give a push of IV antibiotics to a young patient (in his 20's) that was rude all the time, and he proceeded to say swear words to me and what not. A few hours later he asked me if anything was wrong (I had been silent around him and must have been giving off a bad vibe!). I told him, politely, that I felt disrespected by his behaviour earlier and I didn't like it. He apologised. That nipped it in the bud and we were "mates" for the rest of his hospital stay.
I think you have a right, as long as it is professional, to ask for basic manners. Australia also has a policy that states no violence towards health professionals in hospitals. This basically translates to no forms of any form of aggression will be tolerated. Verbal or otherwise.
- 1Feb 5, '13 by mariebailey, MSN, RNI thought of an exception; my TB patients. Sometimes I let them shoot the messenger. I make them swallow an enormous number of pills for 6 months straight, & I tell them they can't leave their home for weeks at a time. Thus, I let it slide if they get a little testy with me!
- 1Feb 5, '13 by tewdlesI agree, Mariebailey, we do have to let good amounts of bad behavior slide...these people are generally not well and pretty stressed by the time they get to interact daily with an RN.
Let it slide while orienting them to their responsibilities as a patient...
- 3Feb 5, '13 by Paul'in'FLI am willing to give patients the benefit of the doubt, but have zero tolerance with family members who are out of line. I am a big boy, and 99% of the time I can tell worry/grief/fear from being an obnoxious pig. Sadly, many Americans really do think that they have all the rights in world, without responsibilities, and can treat other humans like "things'.
And before you think it due to gender, I am a pretty short, nerdy guy, and I top out at 135# on a good day...hardly Joe Macho!
- 2Feb 5, '13 by kmmathis5Nurses most definitely have the right to stand up for themselves. As an ER nurse I often have to ask patients and/or family members to be respectful to staff. In doing so, you set the tone for the relationship and many times, especially in the ER, you are keeping them from being disrespectful to other patients who can see or hear their behavior. Most of the time the outcome is good and it creates mutual respect and more open communication. You can't win them all, though but you at least have to try.

Is it possible to cut down the video adverts with sound? Or just make the sound mute by default
Recently it seems like most forum posts that I click on I get greeted with a video advert blasting out.
I have not seen it myself (the ad) but if you could grab a screenshot I could try and trace why its not muted etc.
