As my SLAM! Wrestling colleague Dale Plummer put it, the WWE kind of hit the reset button at Hell in a Cell. Now that we've had a week to absorb the new feuds, the scene shifts to Greenville, South Carolina. Let's see what awaits as we go live on USA.
Looks like it's right to the ring tonight. CM Punk is now officially entangled with the creepy Wyatt Family, and he's facing one of them in singles action to kick off the show.
Match 1 - CM Punk vs. Luke Harper
Bray Wyatt is in his rocking chair looking on as Punk takes on Harper. The big man's physical strength is enough to keep the best in the world at bay for a few minutes, but that ends after a dive between the ropes. Erick Rowan moves in from across the floor and Punk watches warily as we break for commercials. Despite the obvious numbers problem, Punk defies the odds and manages to pin a somewhat astonished looking Harper by rolling him up when he goes for his clothesline finisher. That earns him a quick two-on-assault, but a heavily bandaged Bryan comes sprinting from the back with steel chair in hand. Bryan drives off the Wyatts, and the WWE's two most over faces stand together as Raw comes to an end. Good night everyone! What's that? That was just the opening match? Okay then, let's continue.
Triple H gave WWE.com an exclusive interview last week, but we get to see part of it now. The big takeaway is that Big Show is banned from WWE for life. Also, viewers get to pick Randy Orton's opponent for the night: The Miz, Big E Langston, or Dolph Ziggler.
Punk tells Renee Young that since he has been dealing with Paul Heyman and his goons for months, he's used to being outnumbered. But he's pleased that he's not the only one with issues with the Wyatts. After that, Heyman is on the phone with Michael Cole detailing all his injuries at Punk's hands. Well, more like whining about the beating he took, really. Cole asks if Heyman is crying, and as he hangs up, it really sounds like he was.
Match 2 - Ryback vs. The Great Khali
This one came together after Khali objected to Ryback's bullying of Hornswoggle, and... Wait, there's a WWE kids magazine? I did not know that. Ryback makes short work of Khali with a Meat Hook, and he has a little pain for Santino Marella after the bell as well.
Match 3 - Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio is looking to take out some of his frustration after losing the world heavyweight championship to John Cena eight days ago. Kingston dumps him out to the floor and flies over the ropes to greet him. ADR shakes that off to hit a double stomp in the corner and a double ax handle off the turnbuckle. Kofi eats kicks as he's tangled in the ropes, but he kicks out of the ensuing pin. A German suplex earns Del Rio another near fall, and he mocks his opponent before taking things to the mat. Kofi uses a sunset flip to get a quick two but is scrambling to kick out again following a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Del Rio pummels Kingston with headbutts but misses an enzuigiri, and Kofi flies in for yet another near fall. Kingston's high cross body finds the mark, but it's still not enough. Del Rio kicks out of one more pinfall attempt and pivots into position for the cross armbreaker, and Kingston can only fight it for a few seconds before tapping out.
We're going to hear now from Big Show's attorney about why he's suing a Triple H and Stephanie. The reasons include discrimination, slander, breach of contract, intimidation, extortion and exploitation, along with everyone's favorite, wrongful termination. Out by the ring, Cole and Jerry Lawler tout the second screen experience provided by the WWE app.
Randy Orton comes out for his match still not knowing who he's going to face. And the winner is... Orton interrupts Lawler's reveal so he can cut a promo. The WWE champ runs down the fans and claims the women in attendance are fantasizing about waking up with Orton, and that the men will never measure up to be even half the man he is. All he sees is disgusting faces of envy and jealousy. The only power they have is picking the Viper's next victim. By a landslide, it's Langston.
Match 4 - Randy Orton vs. Big E Langston
Orton gets an early taste of Big E's power and promptly retreats to compose himself on the outside. Langston grabs a couple of near falls and drives Orton to the outside again. A dropkick finally gets things going the champ's way, but his attempt at a DDT backfires, and Langston flips him out to the floor. After a commercial break, Orton takes it to Langston on the outside. Big E powers his way out of a sleeper hold once they move back inside, and his belly-to-belly suplex sets up a splash that forces Orton to kick out. The Viper recovers to hit his signature DDT, but he spends his time staring down the fans instead of pressing his advantage. Langston shoves his way out of an RKO and nails a big clothesline. He tries for his finisher, but Orton counters with an RKO and gets the pinfall.
Match 5 - Fandango and Summer Rae vs. Tyson Kidd and Natalya
The newlyweds look like... well, newlyweds as they tag together against the dancers. Kidd is making his return to in-ring action after a serious knee injury last year. Summer stops him from going off the top rope with Fandango out on the floor, but that only delays the inevitable Sharpshooter. Fandango taps out and the married couple gets the win.
Young welcomes Damien Sandow and makes him watch his unsuccessful attempt to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. That's not a pleasant memory for him, one he's been reliving over and over. Sandow says he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants, and Zeb Colter tells him he'll get a chance for payback along with the Real Americans tonight.
John Cena hits the ring to give one more mention to the WWE partnership to the Susan G. Komen foundation and announcing that the pink gear will be available for the rest of the year to support breast cancer awareness. He points out survivors in the crowd so they can get some acknowledgement from the fans.
Match 6 - John Cena, Cody Rhodes and Goldust vs. Damien Sandow and The Real Americans
Both Colter and Del Rio join the announcers and find themselves reluctantly siding with each other in their contempt for Cena. That means both of them are happy when Antonio Cesaro nails Cena with a huge uppercut and Jack Swagger delivers a Swagger Bomb after a commercial break. Cena needs to make a tag, but he ends up in the Patriot Lock first and remains in trouble. I mean, for quite a while. He does eventually tag out, and all heck breaks loose with all six men getting involved. Goldust ends up going for the Cesaro Swing as JBL counts in Spanish. Goldust rolls out to the floor, and Cena sends Cesaro crashing into Colter. Goldust hits a corner bulldog on Cesaro to force a save from Sandow, but Cena comes flying in to even things back up. Goldust executes the Final Cut on Cesaro, and it's enough to get the three count.
Despite the ban, Vickie Guerrero informs Triple H that Big Show is in the building. He is livid, but Stephanie informs her hubby that the Board has demanded that no risks be taken with Show since the lawsuit is pending, and they want it settled. Hunter isn't happy about it, but he sends Vickie to summon Show to his office.
Match 7 - Dolph Ziggler vs. Curtis Axel
With Heyman in Europe, Axel goes it alone here. Ziggler hits him with an early dropkick and makes him kick out, but the IC champ quickly takes control after that. His own dropkick gets a two count, and he tries to control Ziggler on the mat. That tactic doesn't work for long, and Ziggler is able to get the win a few minutes later with the Zig Zag. Guess Axel does need the Paulrus around.
A stern looking Bryan is stopped by Young and asked if he should be here with his injury. He says it may not have been smart, but he saw an opportunity for revenge and he took it. Also it looks like there's someone else with an issue with the Wyatts.
Vickie informs The Authority that Big Show will meet with them - but out in the ring, not in the office. HHH muses that Show wants witnesses.
Match 8 - The Usos vs. 3MB (Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre)
Um, I looked away for a minute and the Usos had already won this one. Oh well!
Back to a busy Young, who watches some of Los Matadores' biggest highlights with the tag team. El Torito is a little bit horny. That means he might horn Renee in the knees. Get your minds out of the gutter! #RememberItsPG
Match 9 - The Bella Twins and Eva Marie vs. Tamina Snuka, Aksana, and AJ Lee
I'm contractually obligated to recap this match, so I will. But I don't have to be thrilled with yet another six-woman tag match. Brie Bella has a nice flurry that ends with a dropkick to Tamina, and she rolls away from the Superfly Splash. Eva Marie tags herself in and rolls up Tamina to earn her first WWE win.
Triple H and Stephanie oblige Big Show and wait for him in the ring. He comes out dressed in a suit and flashing a bit of a smile for the first time in quite a while. Steph asks him what he wants from the settlement, and he cracks that a broom would be good so she can hop on it and fly back to Connecticut. The Game angrily intervenes and demands to know how much money it will take to shut him up. Show doesn't want money though, he just wants his job back. Steph agrees, but Show has one more little thing: the world's largest bonus. Scratch that, he wants to be the face of the WWE. Now it's Hunter's turn to calm down his wife, and right at that moment, The Shield's music hits. And we abruptly go to commercial. After the break,Show makes it very clear that he wants a title shot against Orton at Survivor Series. Triple H digs his heels in and refuses, to which Show says his attorney will be in touch tomorrow morning. His back against the wall, Triple H grants the big man his match at Survivor Series. Clearly relishing having the upper hand for a change, Show makes him repeat it multiple times. Since he's an employee again, Hunter wants him to compete in a handicap match against The Shield... and Orton. We're doing this now? Okay then.
Match 10 - Big Show vs. The Shield and Randy Orton
Things quickly turn bad for Show, who finds himself under assault from all four of his opponents. He fights his way out momentarily, and Orton wants no part of him. Now Kane's music hits, and he comes out sans mask and in a suit and tie. That strange sight distracts Show long enough for Orton to hit an RKO, and Kane starts tossing the heels some steel chairs. Shots rain down from every direction as the ref calls for the bell. The announce table is cleared off, and Roman Reigns clobbers Show with the steel steps. It's not easy, but The Shield gets Show up for a triple power bomb through the announce table. Orton lords it over the downed giant as the carnage finally ends,as does the broadcast. See you in seven!

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants that doesn't involve soil. The plant's roots are bathed in nutrient-rich liquid solutions, and temperature, air circulation and light are carefully controlled. Wheatgrass is the edible blades or foliage of the common wheat plant. They are considered to be beneficial by some users and are easy and quick to grow. However, the moist, warm conditions necessary for hydroponic gardening also contribute to the formation of molds and fungi on the wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass is also known as Triticum asestivum, which is the common wheat. It is native to Europe and North America and is used as a food crop for people and animals. Hydroponic wheatgrass is sprouted in liquid solution for seven to 10 days. You can begin harvesting the leaves soon thereafter. The wheatgrass seeds can be pre-contaminated with bacterial or fungal diseases and this will transfer to the plant. Because wheatgrass is consumed raw, there is no way to remove any contaminants.
Significance of Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass is high in vitamins A, C and E. It also has high levels of iron, calcium, magnesium and amino acids. Wheatgrass contains a high concentration of chlorophyll, which makes plants green and helps with photosynthesis. According to WebMD, some people believe chlorophyll has the ability to fight cancer and arthritis. There are many other purported uses, such as a detoxifying agent. Some people that take wheatgrass may experience nausea after initial doses of the supplement.
How Molds Spread
Mold grows and spreads through spores. The spores need a warm, moist environment in which to grow and reproduce. The conditions in hydroponics gardens in the south and other high-heat areas create high humidity. This promotes the growth of the spores even more and can lead to a widespread problem on all the crops. In addition, hygienic practices may fail to reduce spores spread from crop to crop. Failure to clean all surfaces, planting containers, tubes, hoses and even floors can find your next crop contaminated by mold. The incidence of prior contamination to the seed is high and will also result in plants with mold.
Mold toxicity
Some people are extremely allergic to mold and could become ill or uncomfortable if they ingest the moldy leaves. In the case of white mold on wheatgrass, it should be treated as any rotting food and it should be composted to be on the safe side. There are many kinds of molds and it is impossible to assess which one is on the wheatgrass. The dangerous molds contain mycotoxins, which affect 25 percent of the world's food crops, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are poisonous and can cause serious illness.
Preventing Mold
Hydroponics operations should have good ventilation and fans to promote the movement of air. Stagnant air is more likely to become overly warm and moist, which are conditions the spores favor. Excess nutrients are also a contributor to mold formation. Like any organism, mold needs to fuel its growth and it will use available nutrients and organic matter as food.
Wheatgrass seeds should come from a certified supplier and they need to be guaranteed that they are free of mold and fungi. This will help prevent the introduction of the spores into your hydroponics garden in the first place.

Guwahati, Aug 21 :
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju Thursday said a joint mechanism would be worked out soon to defuse prevailing tension along the border between Assam and Nagaland.
Rijiju, who held a meeting here with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and Nagaland Chief Minister T. R. Zeliang, told media that the central government would extend all possible support to both the state governments.
"We want early restoration of peace and tranquility in the violence-affected areas. The central government would extend all possible help towards this end," he said.
The Assam chief minister and Nagaland chief minister said both the states have agreed to resolve the long pending border issues by setting up a joint mechanism.
They said both the states would continue with the efforts to resolve the border issues from the chief secretary-level down to the deputy commissioner-level.
Gogoi said the first priority was to restore peace and tranquility and to send back the displaced people to their respective homes.
"We have built up our efforts to instill confidence among the affected people and to restore normalcy in the trouble-torn areas along the inter-state border," he added.
Zeliang said both the sides are in constant touch with each after the Aug 12 incident and talks are going on both at the political and administrative level.
"We will continue with our dialogue at all levels to resolve the long pending border issues and to contain the situation," he said.
Underscoring the need for people-to-people contact at the local level, Rijiju said such efforts would remove misgivings and help to build bridges of understanding between the people living along the inter-state border.
"People-to-people contact would remove the lack of confidence at the ground level. Frequent meetings would help to bring about better understanding," he said.
Rijiju said the coming together of both the states has sent out a clear signal that they want to resolve the problems across the table.
"The decision to form a joint mechanism to resolve the border issues is a step in the right direction," he said. He appreciated the stand of both the governments to provide adequate compensation to the displaced people.
Rijiju appealed to the agitators not to resort to economic blockade causing inconvenience and hardship to the people of neighbouring state.
Besides, he cautioned everyone to remain vigil so that no anti-social elements could take advantage of the situation and add fuel to fire.
Meanwhile, Zeliang pointed that his government has already constituted an inquiry committee to go into the entire incident to arrive at the truth. He said his government has apprehended 15 people, who were allegedly involved in the incident.
Zeliang appreciated the efforts taken by his Assam counterpart to bring the situation under control.
Both the chief ministers assured that they would ensure the security of the people of both the neighbouring states from threat and intimidation.
Gogoi and Zeliang appealed to the protestors to calm down and to help the administration in restoring peace and tranquility in the affected areas.
They said they are one in their opinion that the CRPF must be vested with more powers to deal with any exigency effectively.
Violence erupted along the Sector B of Assam-Nagaland border last week that killed nine persons and left over 10,000 people homeless on the Assam side of the border.

Baked fish with roasted spring onions and tomato salad
Photo by Tamara West
This Monday night fish is as quick and easy as a flash fry and 10 minutes in the oven.
- Heat the oven to 190C. Place the spring onions in a shallow roasting dish lined with baking paper, brush with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.

Defense Attorney
Serving all of Maine Including Portland, Bangor, Augusta, Saco and Biddeford
Pretty much everyone has a fairly good idea of what a theft is. It's taking something that isn't yours. However, there are lots of different ways that this can happen, from pocketing a stick of gum at the convenience store on Main Street, to embezzling millions of dollars of investments on Wall Street. You say that one is far worse than the other, or that it sure doesn't seem like it's illegal to steal, if you're the Wall Street broker. Both of these issues bring up the fact that theft is surprisingly complex.
According to the laws in Maine, theft is "obtaining or exercising unauthorized control over the property of another with intent to deprive the other person of the property." While this seems like the legalese way of saying what everyone already knew about theft, the vague words used in Maine's laws open lots of doors, and makes a lot of things fit into the broad category of "theft."
Out of the numerous ways that theft can happen, theft by unlawful taking or transfer is the most basic. This is what was formerly known in Maine as larceny, or embezzlement. It's a kind of "catch-all" type of theft that includes acts that don't seem to fit in more specific forms of the crime, like petty theft and shoplifting.
The criminal penalties for convictions for theft by unlawful taking or transfer depend on the value of the property that was stolen.
Value of Property
Jail Time
Class E
Under $500
Up to 6 months
Up to $1,000
Class D
$500 - $1,000
Up to 1 year
Up to $2,000
Class C
$1,000 - $10,000
Up to 5 years
Up to $5,000
Class B
Over $10,000
Up to 10 years
Up to $20,000
Of course, this raises an interesting point on the "value" of what was stolen. The basic rule that Maine uses to determine the value of a stolen item is to look at its market value. This is how much that item would sell for. This prevents someone from claiming that the "I Love NYC" bracelet that they lost was some "family heirloom" that is "priceless, or at least worth millions." If the market value of the stolen property is $5, then the law sees it as worth $5.
As you can see, the range of penalties varies widely, and is all based on the value of the property stolen. At one end of the scale is petty theft – which covers property valued under $500. Most theft crimes fall at or near this end of the spectrum. At the other end are felony theft crimes, where the property was worth more than $10,000.
Unfortunately, these aren't the only penalties that you can face, if you are convicted for theft by unlawful taking or transfer. Because it's a property crime, you could also face civil charges by the property's owner, as they try to sue you for the retail value of the goods. In addition to the price of the property, they can also go after you for a civil penalty of three times the retail value, up to $500.
The penalties also increase if the charge is for petty crime, but you've had two or more theft-related convictions in the past, either in Maine, or elsewhere. Additionally, if the property stolen was a gun or an explosive, or if a gun was used in the theft, then it automatically becomes a felony-level offense, regardless of the value of the property taken.
How Criminal Defense Attorneys Defend Against Theft Charges
Regardless of how innocent you may seem, hiring a solid, experienced criminal defense attorney can easily be the best thing you can do, once you've been charged with theft by unlawful taking or transfer.
Criminal defense attorneys, such as William T. Bly, have extensive experience and training and will work to achieve the best case scenario. While this may seem easy to some, in reality very few people are aware of what, exactly, the prosecutor has to prove during trial. Mr. Bly's thorough understanding of criminal law has given him a nuanced knowledge of precisely what the prosecutor needs to show a judge and jury. This allows him to look at the prosecutor's case, and pick apart its weakest elements until a conviction is impossible.
Here are just a few of the ways that Mr. Bly has successfully fought a case in trial:
Factual Issues
Who actually took the property? If they say that it was you, how do they know that? Are there other people who also wanted it? Maybe it was actually them. If it clearly was you, did you intend to return it? Did you think it lawfully belonged to you? These might all seem like simple, basic questions that law enforcement and the prosecution team should have the answers to, but it often comes to light that they don't. Even if they think they do, they still have to prove it in court, and have to show that they have the right facts beyond a reasonable doubt.
Evidentiary Issues
Oftentimes, court cases come down to one, single, piece of evidence. This can be a fingerprint that one side can't explain, a witness that saw it all, or a confession during a police interrogation. These pieces of evidence look formidable. But smart criminal defense attorneys know how to tackle them, and experienced defense lawyers have done it countless times in the past. Mr. Bly has both the knowledge to understand exactly how to impeach a witness to show that they're lying, and has the experience to see all of the signs that say the police coerced a confession to make it involuntary and worthless.
Past clients agree that criminal defense attorney William T. Bly is one of the best in the state of Maine. He also has a track record to prove it. Call his law office if you've been charged with theft by unauthorized taking or transfer today: (207) 571-8146.

First look at the TVS Max 4R.. probably the first "Utiliy" motorcycle in India
TVS should have retained the body panels of the older 2 stroke TVS Max 100R
This new model looks like a "New" model with the old "Max" name..
Usually an "R" in the name of a bike means that its a sporty, racy bike. Eg: Honda CBR series, Yamaha YZF-R series, Suzuki GSX-R series of bikes, Ninja 250R etc. But this new bike from TVS is far from being a sporty model.
Hindu Business Line has reported the first details of a new motorcycle from TVS Motor, the Max 4R. These motorcycles are being used (tested) for over a month now by a couple of guys in Indore. They have been using it for their business activities, which includes a lot of loading (like vegetables, milk etc.).
Small traders like Milkmen, Vegetable vendors etc. seems to be the target customer for the Max 4R. Most of these small traders would be currently using tiny mopeds or second hand motorcycles for carrying loads.
Uitiliy motorcycles exist in many countries. But surprisingly in India (incidentally the world's second largest 2 wheeler market), till now there has been no specifically made "Utility" motorcycle.
Honda CG125 Cargo: Utiliy Motorcycle from Brazil
So far guys in small business used to use either the "XL Super" type of small mopeds (also a TVS product) or used to use second hand motorcycles for their loading purposes.
With the Max 4R, TVS has tried to create this so far non-existent "Utility" motorcycle category in India.
TVS trying to revive its "Max" brand:
TVS is trying to piggy back on the brand name of the "Max 100R", a popular 2 stroke model from TVS which was discontinued a couple of years back.
The Max 100R was a popular model especially among small traders and businessmen who used it for carrying loads in their business activities.
Probably taking a leaf out of Bajaj's recent success with the "Discover" brand, TVS has too realized the power of an established brand.
The new Max 4R seems to subscribe to just that school of thought. The "4" in this new bike's name should probably mean that this bike has a 4-stroke engine.
The Max 4R is probably a rebadged Star LX:
Just take a look at the photo of the Max 4R as published in Hindu Businessline (posted above) and compare it with the photo of the motorcycle on the left.
To me both the bikes look exactly the same, except for the different tank and side panel graphics and spoke wheels instead of alloys.
The bike on the left is the Star LX, a 100 cc, 4 stroke motorcycle which is an export model from TVS. The details of the Star LX can be found in the international lineup of TVS motors on its site.
TVS Star LX in Africa
According to me TVS should have retained the body panels of the older 2 stroke TVS Max 100R and plonked in a new 4 stroke engine. In that case it would be easier to for the common man to associate this new "Max" to the genes of the older "Max".
This new model looks like a "New" model with the old "Max" name. Nevertheless TVS has tried to explore a niche among motorcycles in India and one has to appreciate TVS for that.
Update: TVS Max 4R, Details: The Max 4R has been launched and indeed it seems to be a variant of the Star LX with some modifications to its body.
What so special about the TVS Max 4R?
- It is probably India's first Utility Motorcycle
- 4 Shock absorbers at the rear(!!)
- A detachable rear seat
- Indicator guards
- Easy center stand
- Mobile charger
- A 200 Kg payload capacity

Maybe it's because my birthday is in March that I've got parties on the brain. Last week I shared how to make paper garlands, a DiY project I did for my dear friend's daisy-themed 40th birthday party. This week I am going to show you how to make the fabric table runners we used to decorate the tables.
This is a very easy project but you will need a sewing machine, as well as thread, iron & ironing board (starch helps too), and a length of fabric at least 20 inches longer than the length of the table you want to make the runner for.
What I love about this project is that while these table runners add a great pop of color to any party setting (and you can make them match any color scheme), they are infinitely reusable and look great after the party too.
Step 1: Measure your table lengthwise (if that is the way you want your runner to go), the cut a length of fabric approximately 20 inches longer. I used a pinking shears to prevent the edges from fraying, but all the raw edges will be hidden, so it is not essential.
Step 2: Lay out the fabric flat, then fold over a third of the fabric lengthwise. Line it up so that it is parallel to the edge, then cut using edge as a guide. You can save the excess third to make another runner or use it for other craft projects.
Step 3: Fold the fabric in half lengthwise so that the right sides are facing each other. Starch and iron the whole piece, ironing the fold flat.
Step 4: Sew the sides opposite the fold together, creating a long tube.
Step 5: Sew one end together.
Step 6: Clip the corners of the sewn end. This will help prevent the excess fabric from bunching up when you turn it inside out.
Step 7: Flip the fabric so that the right sides are facing out, taking care to press out the corners as flat as possible.
Step 8: Lay runner out and iron flat.
Step 9: Fold unsewn end in so that raw edges are hidden. Iron flat.
Step 10: Sew around all edges leaving a 3/4-1″ margin, depending on desired look. You can sew in one continuous rectangle or do four intersecting lines (like below).
I bought the fabric (it was in the quilting section) on sale at JoAnn's for $4 a yard. I bought 7 yards, which made 4 runners of varying sizes, making the price per runner about $7 each.

An amazing and thorough course! As a biologist I was fascinated to learn more about this topic because we didn't spend much time going over it during our Vertebrate Zoology course. You can clearly see the amount of work that went into this course and I'm very thankful for every teacher. Of course, a huge thanks to Betsy Kruk for the massive narration! I will definitely recommend this course to all of my friends. I can't even describe how much I've learned from it: from the origin of dinosaurs and their extinction to stratigraphy and anatomy.

The only way to do that is calculating the number of pages your report will generate and using it in the report it self.
To calculate the number of pages may be difficult depending the format and number of lines in each page.

Method 1. Method described by Wilson can be nightmare of duplicate code for counting and actual printing.
Method 2. Two pass method
Change spoolfile to USROPN
Loop through the print code twice
– first pass spoolfile is not open
– capture final pageNo
– second pass open spool file
– print report using final PageNo from above for MaxPage#
Method 3. After RPG program creates the spool file with the dummy value XXXX for maxPage#
Copy to PF, change, copy to SPLF method
– cpysplf to a flat file
— spool file must be *SCS – no overlays (add later), add LPI and the like at file level only later.
— -flat file must be at least 1 char wider than spool file
— Control character . . . . . . . *FCFC (captures form feed and line spacing)
– RPGLE program does two passes through flat file
— pass 1 find highest page #
— pass 2 add highpg# to Page nnnn to XXXX lines.

text: Technological advances have provided new tools for monitoring natural systems. One approach is the use of acoustic recordings for surveying animals, such as songbirds and bats. Acoustic recordings have numerous advantages, including minimizing observer errors (via single observer interpreting all recordings or cross-validation using multiple observers), sampling animals that are inherently difficult to capture or visually observe, creation of permanent records of surveys, and ability to incorporate field technicians with limited field identification skills. They often allow wildlife to be surveyed across a larger number of locations and much longer time periods (e.g., 24-hrs). As with any wildlife survey method, acoustic recordings have limitations, which need to be considered when designing and conducting wildlife studies. Limitations include greater time commitment, primarily in terms of processing acoustic recordings due to current performance of automated classification software, general inability to accurately estimate abundance, cost and maintenance of recording units, and comparability of data collected using different recording systems. I am collaborating with colleagues to test the effectiveness of acoustic recording technologies for sampling birds and bats. We have found that acoustic recording methods are able to perform as well or better than field observers in estimating animal occupancy patterns and abundance rates, particularly when combined with quantitative methods to account for imperfect detection probability. These studies are improving our knowledge of the limitations of acoustic recording technologies so that they can be properly implemented into wildlife research.

Teaching Mathematics in Primary Schools moves beyond traditional lock-step approaches to teaching mathematics to emphasise how students can learn to think mathematically in a technology-rich society.
Based on international research, the book focuses on learning outcomes and the general principles that underlie educational practices. Current approaches to mathematics education are explained and critiqued, and insights into why some students have difficulties with mathematics are provided. Teachers are shown how to encourage their students to develop deep learning in mathematics, and to relate mathematics to the rest of the curriculum.
The authors examine the philosophy behind mathematics and its impact on curriculum design, the history of learning outcomes, and theories on how students learn mathematics. They present the key areas of mathematics teaching in detail: number, chance and data, measurement, space, and algebra. In each area, the emphasis is on problem-solving. Finally, they discuss practical classroom issues such as developing students' capacity to think mathematically, broad approaches to teaching mathematics, planning for a whole school approach to mathematics, diversity and access, and assessment, reporting and evaluation. Practical classroom activities are included throughout.
New material on numeracy, early numbers and fractions has been added to this second edition. It also now covers issues in teaching mathematics in the middle years of schooling.
Book details:
Format: Paperback 230mm x 171mm
Extent: 400pp
Publication date: July 2011
'There are many books available in the marketplace with a title like this one; the difference, however, is that this book looks at the "whole picture" of mathematics teaching…This is an outstanding book: it should be high on the list of any primary school teacher's set of references and a required text for pre-service teachers.'
—Kath Truran, in Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom
'Every chapter reeks of intellectual integrity, a strong knowledge of pertinent research literatures, and the wisdom of practice.'
—Professor Ken Clements, co-founder of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA)

Local Drummer Showcase # 1Posted: Monday, May 31, 2010 by •»¶hê ƒRëq»•-)•–––– in
Another amazing local drummer is Ed Young and yes, another of the over 3 decades playing drums club and still going strong. My first introduction to Ed was with a band Spring Hill Jack (sp) at Algoma University back many decades ago. Ed is not only a great drummer but also guitarist and song writer. He has been a staple at Tom Wall's Music as a teacher. Ed can easily be called the hardest working drummer in town and currently plays in numerous bands like Blues Harvest, Buffalo Alice along with numerous side projects like Big Suit and more. Ed also worked for the Ayotte Drum company many years ago.
I first heard Jimmie Chiverelli at last years Rotaryfest 2nd Stage when his band Kalle Mattson followed my band on stage. The first thing I noticed about Jimmie's playing was how in the pocket it was which seems to be a lost art amongst local drummers lately. Jimmie is also a very dynamic player that plays for the song rather than himself. I later found out Jimmie is an avid Bruce Springsteen fan along with his drummer Max Weinberg. Jimmie and his band Kalle Mattson are currently riding high in popularity and doing a lot of touring around Canada. (Jimmie photo courtesy of Donna Hopper)
Ric Datson is simply the Sault's most recognizable drummer. Yet another member of the over 3 decades in the music biz drummer club, he shows no signs of slowing down. He currently plays in the country rock band "Boneyard" and also the classic rock band "That's Chester". Ric is also a local music historian and works for our local museum keeping great info on the Sault's music history amongst other things. Ric's drumming has always been explosive and is noted for his big finishes to songs. Although his music roots are now in rock and country, I first met Ric when he was playing in the semi punkish band Youth in Asia many decades ago.
That's Chester on Facebook
I only recently met Kev Riain when his band and my band were competing in the KISS Battle of the bands held some months ago. His band Sense of Truth are in the final stages of recording and releasing an album and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Kev's playing is definitely solid and he has a ton of energy behind the kit but he also has dynamics which like I mentioned earlier, seems to be lost with many local drummers. His playing at this show that included a ton of players easily stood out and his personality did the same. I don't know much about Kev or his playing, though I like what I hear so far, but I do sense (no pun intended ;-) Kev will continue to grow as a musician. Expect good things from Sense of Truth.

Lastly for this first segment of the Local Drummer Showcase #1 is yours truly me, Glen "the Freq" Thomas. I will simply say that I love playing all styles of music and will never say no to attempting a style of music. Researching and talking about local music has always been a love and I will always attempt to throw something online for others to read. Drum wise, I'm part of the over 3 decades club and continue to play and record to this day. I've recorded albums for Rainhorses, Patrick Stewart, Wishbone, Huckster and currently play in my own band Flat Stanley which is celebrating 10 years together this summer. My favourite music is Jazz and Progressive Rock. Drum wise, I love playing jazz more than anything. I'm an avid music gear collector and built the kit shown in my photo. I also play other musical instruments and love writing and recording my own music in my home studio.
Stay tuned for "Local Drummer Showcase #2"

IIIUndergraduate Students, School of Dentistry, University of Mogi das Cruzes, Mogi das Cruzes, SP, Brazil
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of artificial teeth for endodontic teaching. A questionnaire was prepared and submitted to 18 professors of Endodontics from different Brazilian universities to evaluate the following features of five cloudy resin artificial teeth: internal and external anatomy; coronal chambers regarding their size, shape and canal path; root canal regarding their size, shape and position; fulfillment of the pulp chamber and root canals by considering the texture, quantity, color, and ease of handling; resin hardness and visualization of the radiographic image. The results presented favorable opinions, in terms of internal and external anatomy, coronal pulp chambers and root canal and handling and radiographic imaging. The contents of the pulp space and hardness of the teeth were considered satisfactory. The average grade assigned to the artificial tooth quality was 8.4, in a 0-10 scale. In conclusion, the artificial teeth have potential to replace the natural teeth in endodontic teaching; however, improvements are still necessary to reach a better quality model.
Uniterms: Endodontics teaching. Teaching model. Tooth artificial.
For decades, endodontic teaching has relied almost exclusively on the use of natural human teeth. Practice on extracted teeth has been a universal method of teaching preclinical endodontics and giving students the opportunity of gaining expertise before moving to patients. Cross-infection control, originated by the manipulation of extracted teeth, among other reasons, is threatening such practice in some teaching institutions.
Dummer, et al.1 (1991) introduced the use of uniform resin blocks, completely different from the natural teeth, which could reproduce root canal curve. The application of these resin blocks was initially for laboratory-based research, but their use for teaching purposes has been widespread.
Peterson8 (1980) presented an introductory study about artificial teeth produced with a kind of wax by modeling selected natural teeth in many directions. Although he could partly reproduce root canals, reproduction of enamel and dentin anatomy was more challenging. Kahn5 (1983), Jackson and Tidmarsh4 (1993) and Sauveur and Boucher11 (1998) created endodontic models with teeth made of wax or resin, but without the characteristics of natural teeth. Reader, et al.10 (1994) highlighted a number of reasons why the use of natural teeth was not indicated in endodontic teaching, including frequent concerns about infection control and difficult in standardization, all these posing difficulties to teaching.
Natural teeth have been the major resource in endodontic teaching in Brazil. In 2005, Nassri, et al.7 published a study that presented teeth constructed from opaque and translucent resin that resemble the natural teeth.
The artificial teeth used in this study are produced by the Brazilian company "Fábrica de Sorrisos" (Smile Factory). The teeth are fabricated individually, one by one, and the assembly of cutting of the teeth is established by a millimeter-based fitting process. Each tooth costs US$ 6,00 (six dollars). The endodontic team of the University of Mogi das Cruzes was requested to design these teeth and thus try to reproduce, as close as possible, the characteristics of the natural teeth. There is no trade relation or financial advantage in this partnership.
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the anatomic, physical and radiographic features of artificial teeth for endodontic teaching based on the evaluation by professors of Endodontics.
This study was submitted to the Ethics in Human Research Committee of the University of Mogi das Cruzes to ensure the voluntary participation of the examiners and was approved under the register number 08/2006.
The artificial teeth were produced by a Brazilian factory called "Fábrica de Sorrisos" (Smile Factory) and involved endodontic specialist professors of the University of Mogi das Cruzes to give directions on the tooth design. These teeth are now being distributed as "artificial tooth UMC model", although there is no commercial UMC involvement in the trade.
Eighteen professors of Endodontics from different Brazilian universities were invited to take part in this study and received a kit containing five cloudy resin artificial teeth: a maxillary central incisor (Figure 1A), a mandibular central incisor (figure 1A), a maxillary first premolar (Figure 1B), a maxillary molar and a mandibular molar (Figure 1C). These teeth were selected to represent a rage of tooth groups. Although the transparent resin artificial teeth (sound and with pulp pathologies) (Figures 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B) were not included in this study, each participant received a sample to be aware of their existence and also to have the opportunity to handle them.
A questionnaire with 14 closed questions was attached to the kit (see attachment 1). There were few lines at the end of each question where the participants could make comments on the general quality of the artificial teeth. At the last question, a grade, from zero to ten, had to be attributed to them. These questions were related to the anatomic and radiographic features, texture, fulfillment and hardness. After a critical analysis made by the specialists, the performance of the teeth was rated as excellent, satisfactory, unsatisfactory and poor.
In order to make this analysis more complete and efficient, the professors of Endodontics were asked to simulate all phases, including radiographic imaging (Figures 4A, 4B and 4C), of the conventional hand-held endodontic treatment in each one of the cloudy resin artificial teeth. Before answering the questionnaire, they had to have completed five endodontic treatments in five different kinds of teeth, as described above. The following procedures were accomplished: access surgery using spherical burs for the trepanation; removal of the pulp chamber roof and suitable shaping; pulpotomy, which consisted on the removal of the fulfilling gel that simulates the pulp tissue inside the vital teeth pulp chamber; access and measurement of the root canal, which allowed visualizing the contrast between the radiographic image of the dental structure and the stainless steel file (figures 5A, 5B and 5C); root canal instrumentation using the conventional technique; the main cone fitting and root canal obturation.
Thereafter, the participants were asked to answer the questionnaire.
Most questions were answered with "excellent" or "satisfactory", although the items regarding the fulfillment of the coronal chamber and resin hardness were rated as "unsatisfactory" and "poor" by some participants. These answers were, however, in a smaller number compared to the other options.
The collected data were tabulated and are presented as percentages on Table 1. Regarding the grade, the average was 8.4, from 0 to 10.
Endodontic teaching has always been based on the use of natural human teeth. Because of the difficulty in getting teeth, some authors have tried to develop alternatives. Resin blocks, which simulate root canals, but without reproducing the complex internal and external dental anatomy, have been proposed by Marini, et al.6 (1986) and by Dummer, et al.1 (1991). Artificial wax tooth models have also been created by Peterson8 (1980) and Hasselgren and Tronstand, et al.3 (1975).
After these first attempts, the need of developing artificial tooth models with better quality was recognized. Other authors tried to produce models that could fit the natural teeth by simulating the bone density of the maxillary and mandibular arches (Steiner and Hassel12, 1972; Kahn5, 1983; Jackson and Tidmarsch4, 1993; Sauveur and Boucher11, 1998). In 2005, Nassri, et al.7 aided the "Fábrica de Sorrisos" to create artificial teeth, one by one, in an attempt to reproduce their internal and external anatomy, hardness, radiographic image and pulp tissue in the different tooth groups. As these teeth had a good acceptance, they have been used in some Brazilian universities as possible alternatives to replace the natural teeth. These teeth have been developed in opaque and translucent resin, like reported elsewhere3,9. In 1994, Reader, et al.10 made experiments with a similar artificial tooth model, but without refinement. With the tooth developed by Nassri, et al.7 (2005), there was a need to evaluate them properly. The results of the present study showed that these teeth have potential to replace the natural ones by allowing the establishment of a standardized endodontic methodology because it is possible to obtain a variation at the degree of difficulty by creating teeth that simulate pulp pathologies. Replacement of the use of the natural teeth by resin teeth would meet two situations: the first, is related to the Dentistry teaching and reflects the current conservative philosophy of preserving the natural teeth as much as possible, which interferes directly with tooth removal and makes ever more difficult to get natural teeth for teaching purposes; the second, is related to the Ethics Committee' guidelines regarding tooth origin, as in many cases the teeth are obtained from popular dental offices, without any official record. These facts, together, have substantiated the replacement of natural teeth by artificial teeth.
From the gathered data, it is possible to conclude that some features still need to be improved. According to the endodontists, who took part in this study, the content of the coronary chamber and the root canal have a viscosity level different from that of the pulp tissue, which makes difficult its removal. The visualization of the radiographic image has low-level contrast, although hard and soft tissues are clearly distinguishable. The main difficulty is the resin hardness, which does not reproduce the dentin hardness, giving the wrong impression that there is not too much resistance in accessing the pulp tissue in a natural tooth.
On the other hand, the other characteristics were well accepted by the participants, which makes feasible to replace the natural teeth by the artificial ones in the endodontic teaching.
The artificial teeth present many advantages, such as: ease of obtaining and replacement, which is a very common occurrence due to the lack of experience of the students; they can be manufactured by simulating dental illnesses as periapical injury, pulp mortification, root canal narrowing due to pulp metabolic alteration or even dentist's errors as root canal rectification, root perforation and others. In their preliminary study, Nassri, et al.7, 2005 showed that the internal and external anatomies are compatible and the radiographic imaging is also satisfactory.
There are not yet sufficient reported studies to trace an outline of this technique, which is an innovation in endodontic teaching. The adoption of resin teeth in dental school can be a useful tool and might improve students' teaching-learning conditions.
The artificial teeth have potential to replace the natural teeth in endodontic teaching; however, improvements are still necessary to reach a better quality model.
