I couldn't find the answer to this but i'm hoping it's something simple!
I want to use combo boxes for data entry in some edit forms. This is because they are drawing from a long list of options in SharePoint and I would like users to be able to type into them rather than having to scroll through over 100 entries in a drop down control. I have been using drop downs and have them set up so that they default to a "-" on a NewForm, but show the current value when in EditForm, which I would like to preserve.
The issue that I am having is that when I add a combo box to the data card I can't get the card's update property to recognise the combo box.selected.value, not can I get the combo box to accept the default of "If(StudentDetailsFrm.Mode=FormMode.New,"-",ThisItem.Programme)"
I have tried creating a 'Choice' field type from Sharepoint (as this has the funtionality that I want in PowerApps) but I can't seem to recreate it myself.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
UPDATE- I have marked a post as the solution, however the whole thread contibuted towards it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @SamGibbs,
Do you add the Combo box control within the Department data card rather than outside the Departemnt data card?
Please take a try with the following workaround:
Set the Items property of the Combo box control to following formula:
Set the Update property of the Department data card to following formula:
then check if the issue is solved.
Best regards,
If you have a Choice field in SharePoint, then the default value needs to be an object, not a string (that's how choice columns are stored in SharePoint). The blog post at https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/default-values-for-complex-sharepoint-types/ has more details about this scenario, but for your specific case, you can use this expression in the DefaultSelectedItems property of the combo box control (the control itself, not the card that contains it):
If( StudentDetailsFrm.Mode = FormMode.New, { Value: "-" }, Parent.Default)
Thanks for the reply. I haven't actually used a choice field in the SharePoint list, it is a single line text field- I knew that the choice field generated a combo-box style data card so I wanted to try and use it as a template to recreate it for my text field, with data values drawn from a seperate list (acting as a look up). I wasn't clear in my original post, apologies.
I have tried the formula that you suggested, but this returns a invalid argument error (due to the lack of clarity mentioned above?)
Hi @SamGibbs,
Do you want to provide values for a Single line of text field using Combo box control within the Edit form?
Based on the formula that you provided, I think there is something wrong with the formula that you provided within the DefaultSelectedItems property of the Combo box control.
The DefaultSelectedItems property of the Combo box control is required to provided a record value, but the ThisItem.Programme formula (within the formula that you provided) would return a text value.
I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:
Note: The Dept column is a Single line of text type column. Within Dept Data card, I remove the original TextInput control, and add a Combo box control to instead of it.
Set the Items property of the Combo box control to following formula:
Note: The '20181003_case3' represents the separated list which the Dept column pulls data from.
Set the DefaultSelectedItems property of the Combo box control to following formula:
If( EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New, { '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", Value: "-" }, { '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", Value:Parent.Default } )
On your side, you should type the following formula:
StudentDetailsFrm.Mode = FormMode.New,
Value: "-"
{ /* <-- Modify here, type a record value rather than a Text value */
Value: ThisItem.Programme
The GIF screenshot as below:
Best regards,
Hi @v-xida-msft,
Thank you for looking into this. The formula that you provided works for setting a default on a new form, or picking up the exisiting value when editing.
Formula in DefaultSelectedItems = If(Form2.Mode = FormMode.New,{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",Value: "-" },{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",Value: ThisItem.Department})
I couldn't set the combo box items property to Choices('MasterDeptList'.Title) which is the list I want to take the options from. The formula checked says that it has some invalid arguments. However just having Items= MasterDeptList.Title seems to work anyway?
The main issue now is that the data card Update property has the error "Name isn't valid. This identifier isnt recognised." Currently DataCard Update= ComboBox1.Selected.Value. What am I missing here as currently the form will not submit.
Thanks again
Hi @SamGibbs,
Could you please share more details about the error message on your side?
Please check if there is a column called Title within your SP list data source (MastreDeptList). Also please check if you have renamed the Title column into another name.
If the issue still exists, please take a try to re-create your app, then check if the issue is solved.
Best regards,
Do you mean the error message relating to the DataCard Update property?
I have been using MasterDeptList.Title as a reference in other apps and it has always worked (including in dropdown controls). the combo box control is happy with Item= MasterDeptList.Title, but won't accept Choices in the formula.
Hi @v-xida-msft
I have built a new app to try and test this out. I still can't get it to work.
I have realised that the use of Choices in the items property of the combo box, will only work if it is linked to a choice field in sharepoint. I am using a single line of text field as a look up.
However, I have got it to the point where a new form defaults to a '-', edit form returns the entry already in the record. I can use the combo box to search and select a desired value, so it's nearly there.
The last issue is getting the datacard Update property (currently = ComboBox1.Selected.Value) to accept the combo box defined record. I have included the picture of this error. I have tried making it Update=ComboBox1.Selected but then it is expecting text.
Hi @SamGibbs,
Do you add the Combo box control within the Department data card rather than outside the Departemnt data card?
Please take a try with the following workaround:
Set the Items property of the Combo box control to following formula:
Set the Update property of the Department data card to following formula:
then check if the issue is solved.
Best regards,
Hi @v-xida-msft
I was adding it into the data card- making the update = ComboBox1.Selected.Title has now resolved the issue.

Inclusive insurance for micro, small and medium enterprises
Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are often overlooked - too small for large banks and insurers to bother with, but too big for microfinance institutions who tend to be more concerned with covering individuals and families. Yet MSMEs account for more than half of all employment worldwide, and the jobs and wealth they generate are vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals - especially SDG 8: decent work and economic growth. Insurance is increasingly recognised as a valuable risk management tool for MSMEs in developing countries, which are vulnerable to risks and have a high incidence of business failure.
However, treating MSMEs as if they have the same insurance needs can undermine the potential value of insurance to contribute to their sustainability and growth. As Cenfri's Jeremy Gray and David Saunders write in the forthcoming State of Microinsurance 2018, "MSMEs are not a homogenous group and their insurance needs differ significantly. They range, for example, from a sole-proprietor car mechanic to a tyre manufacturer with up to 249 employees." Micro-enterprises - those with fewer than nine employees - tend to be better served by inclusive insurance products because "The line between proprietor and business is likely to be blurred, with the result that micro-businesses often have insurance needs similar to individuals." On the other hand, SMEs - with between 10 and 250 staff - are poorly served in comparison, with only five out of the top 10 insurers worldwide offering products specifically aimed at this size of business.
The relatively poor uptake of insurance among SMEs - especially in emerging markets - is worrying because employment and economic growth relies on their ability to thrive - and as a business grows, the financial losses from an adverse event are likely to exceed what it can cover with informal risk mitigation. Formal insurance can help a business to become more resilient and as a result, encourage investment. There is a clear business case for insurance providers to target SMEs yet they seem reluctant to do so. Perceived barriers include the need to tailor products to individual business needs and the relatively small risk pool compared to that of individuals and micro-businesses.
If inclusive insurance is to live up to its name, SMEs must not be left behind as insurers seek to roll out products in emerging markets. Better use of data and digital ecosystems, coupled with new business models and improved risk management, could all help SMEs become more resilient and grow.
To discuss how insurance can support the development of micro, small and medium businesses, some of the leading experts in the field will come together at a special session during the upcoming 14th International Microinsurance Conference in Lusaka, Zambia, co-organised by the MiN, with Munich Re Foundation and the Microinsurance Technical Advisory Group of Zambia (TAG). Hosted by GIZ and moderated by Cenfri's Jeremy Gray, the session will explore ways that insurers, InsurTech, distributors, governments, donors and development agencies can help develop a better insurance market for MSMEs.

Obama Holds Last Correspondents Dinner
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will get one more chance on Saturday to poke fun at fellow politicians, the press and himself as he attends his final White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The dinner comes amid a fierce presidential campaign that should provide Obama and this year's entertainer, Larry Wilmore, plenty of material.
The Republican front-runner, Donald Trump, a regular in recent years, isn't expected to attend, though several Hollywood stars, athletes and government officials are.
Obama has described the dinner as Washington celebrating itself. Others call it the nerd prom.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama enjoys the opportunity to speak at the event, in part, because so many of the other speeches he gives deal with such serious topics, and this is the unique event that allows him to share some laughs about the political process and those who participate.
Wilmore also likes to make fun of Washington. He is best known for appearances as the "senior black correspondent" on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He is now host of "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore."
Proceeds from the dinner go toward journalism scholarships and awards.
This year's winners are:
— Carol Lee of the Wall Street Journal, winner of the Aldo Beckman Memorial Award for excellence in White House coverage.
— Matt Viser of the Boston Globe, winner of the Merriman Smith Award for outstanding White House coverage under deadline pressure.
— Norah O'Donnell of CBS News, winner of the Merriman Smith award for broadcast journalism.
— Terrence McCoy of The Washington Post and Neela Banerjee, John Cushman Jr., David Hasemyer and Lisa Song of InsideClimate, winners of the Edgar A. Poe award, which recognizes excellence in coverage of events or investigative topics of regional or national interest.

After four years of married life and a less than fortnight long live-in relationship, the break up is over and it is fighting time for both the TDP and BJP. As we have been saying that it is not going to be as easy to face BJP as it has been facing the YSR Congress, the BJP had come forward hitting hard at the TDP right in the Assembly.
BJP floor leader P Vishnukumar Raju, strongly backed by former minister P Manikyala Rao, made scathing attack on the TDP. The BJP took up the CAG report on the Pattiseema lift irrigation scheme to hit at the TDP. Pattiseema lift scheme was planned by the TDP to bring Godavari water to Krishna using the Left canal of the Polavaram Project, which was 80 per cent completed by late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. Though the canal was planned to bring 80 tmcft of water from Polavaram to Krishna at Prakasam Barrage and give the same quantity of water to Rayalaseema from Pothireddipadu, the TDP government brought in the Pattiseema scheme as an interim arrangement.
There was strong opposition for this lift scheme and farmers and some engineers have advised the government to use the same money to advance the Polavaram Project works or to complete the pending projects like Handri-Neeva, Galeru-Nagari. But, the government went ahead with hits pet project. It was initially planned for Rs 1170 crore with 30 pumps and 30 motors. Later, the project cost was escalated to a little over Rs 1800 crore and brought down the number of pumps and motors to 24. The project was completed in six months against the original schedule of 12 months. The government had paid excess amount of over Rs 370 crore to the contractor.
The CAG had raised objections to this price escalation while reducing the motors and pumps from original 30 to 24. The BJP took this report to hit at the TDP. In reply to the charges, the TDP sought to blame the BJP for following the YSR Congress. The TDP did not answer the questions and did not make an attempt to justify the contentious issue of number of pumps and motors and the price escalation. The CAG, according to the BJP leaders, had also questioned this and there was no answer from the government.
It is not just the Pattiseema project alone where the CAG saw unjustified expenditure by the government. There are several other projects like the Purushothapatnam on the right canal of the Polavaram project that would take Godavari water to Visakhapatnam and the Chintalapudi lift irrigation scheme that would give Godavari water to the Nagarjuna Sagar Left canal in Zone III covering Jaggaiahpet, Nandigama, Tiruvur, Mylavaram, Nuzvid and Gannavaram Assembly constituency areas.
The TDP has to answer the corruption charges now and justify its huge spending on these projects and the links that it has with the contractors. Till then, the BJP would take on the TDP and keep hitting it, which might bring down its image in the public.

This week we look into configuring the S/4HANA Monitoring scenario as the final part of the Solman 7.2 SAP Monitoring installation and setup procedure. You can download the complete SAP Solution Manager 7.2 Getting Started with Monitoring eBook below if you choose to set up your own environment. Prior parts are listed below
The two prior parts pertained to the installation and configuration of the SAP Solution Manager 7.2 technical base:
- Solution Manager 7.2 SAP Monitoring - Part 1 (Setup)
- Solution Manager 7.2 SAP Monitoring - Part 2 (Configuration)
In this part, we finally connect the managed system's agents to Solman. This phase needs to be repeated for each system to be monitored, in this example HANA, but similarly for other system types like SAP Netweaver, S/4HANA, etc. This precedes the assignment of monitoring scenario (application stack).
Last week the SAP Solution Manager 7.2 Roadshow visited Northern and Southern California. There is a lot packed into Solman 7.2, and it's here whether you're ready or not. SAP will end maintenance support of Solman 7.1 in December 2017, so we expect a flurry of installations and/or upgrades in the next 6 months. Depending on your usage scenarios, neither the upgrade nor the clean installation and configuration are trivial. The main changes to Technical Monitoring is the UI which is now based on SAPUI5, no more standalone mobile apps and a cleaner GUI without dependency on Adobe Flash.
If you've attended or planning to attend the ASUG SAP Solution Manager Roadshow, you can learn about SAP Solution Manager 7.2 capabilities and roadmap. However, if you want to see for yourself what Solman 7.2 can do or can't do, as well as gauge the level of effort for your Solman 7.2 project, you would probably install and connect to your environment. Alternatively, there is a SAP Cloud Appliance Library version for demo purposes.
According to SAP, Process Orchestration (SAP PO) is a tool to model and design business processes, primarily used to integrate SAP systems and external systems. There can easily be confusion with interchanging terms used, XI (Exchange Infrastructure), PI (Process Integration) and PO (Process Orchestration), but really they are all the same thing, just SAP evolution over time with increased functionality. In this publication we will summarize the main difference and how to simplify the SAP monitoring of this increasingly important glue that holds together a SAP-based ecosystem.
It's time for the SAP Monitoring challenge! How to monitor ANY and ALL of the following in minutes, WITHOUT knowing anything about SAP Solution Manager, CCMS or any vendor tools? Simple, IT-Conductor does all the work using cloud-based automation, so you don't have to, YES, we'll even manage the monitoring services so all you have to do is relax and use it!
We have been publishing extensively with more than a dozen articles on How to monitor your SAP environment using SAP Solution Manager, but what happens when Solman itself is suffering from Performance and Availability issues? Solman has widen its footprint at enterprises, some mandatory uses of functionality such as Maintenance Optimizer, and Remote Support, while others include Technical Monitoring and Change Request Management (ChaRM). Given such dependencies of many SAP customers on their Solman, shouldn't it be monitored and managed as a business critical system?
We've covered SAP Monitoring extensively in many articles and eBooks, so if you would like to start Monitoring SAP WITHOUT Installation, click below!
Announcement: For latest update and webinar recording, visit Centralized SAP SLT and RFC Connection Monitoring publication
I'm glad to be finally back from a very successful customer Go-live of an SAP ERP 4.7 to ECC 6.0 Ehp7 Near-zero Downtime (nZDM) upgrade, combined with a database upgrade and platform migration from AIX/Oracle 11g to Linux/Oracle RAC 12c over the President's Day holiday. There were plenty of sleepless nights during go-live but the client was very happy with the performance of the new system. It was good to be prepared for performance comparisons mentioned in our last blog post about Crucial Performance Tips for Upgrades & Migrations. On average, Batch workload ran twice as fast, and Dialog rocketed to three times the speed compared to the old system. The increased speed and capacity will allow this customer to drastically improve the way business is done in the near future, including the ability to replicate and report near real-time using a combination of ECC, BW on HANA and SAP LT Replication Server (SLT - SAP Landscape Transformation), otherwise known as a Sidecar scenario. SAP SLT is enabling customers to replicate business data across their system landscape at the database trigger level, thus allowing high speed data synchronization between similar or disparate database platforms. For the Basis team, this is another technical scenario to monitor to ensure the availability and performance of SLT meets the business demand for near real-time information. See SAP Operations Guide for detailed information about SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server.
Let's look at existing ways we can perform SAP LT Monitoring:
- In the SLT Server using transaction LTR (Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard) which launches a web-based SAP Netweaver Business Client. You will need to assign the role SAP_IUUC_REPL_ADMIN to your user's profile
- In the SLT Server using LT Replication Server Cockpit (LTRC) to check and monitor a single configuration at a time for transfer status, analyze errors, and manage the load and replication
- In the SLT Server using LT Replication Server Monitoring (LTRO) which is relatively new and can monitor and manage multiple configurations
- In the SLT Server using Migration Workbench (MWBMON) to monitor and analyze Mass Data Transfer
- In SAP Solution Manager 7.1 (at least SP05, and DMIS_2010 SP07 on SLT Server). SAP Note 1558756 – 'Solution Manager 7.1. – BI Monitoring: Prerequisites' describes the prerequisites to be met and the necessary configuration steps in order to integrate the SAP LT Replication Server Monitoring Information into the SAP Solution Manager E2E Alerting Infrastructure
See more details below, but unsatisfied with set of manual methods above, we started to develop our own SLT Monitoring solution add-on to the SAP Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM, capable of monitoring health, availability and performance of SLT configurations down to each table level.
A pulse check with our SAP subscribers to see if they have implemented SAP Solution Manager 7.1 technical monitoring or are folks still waiting for the promised SAP Solution Manager 7.2? Well if you're waiting, then maybe you shouldn't because according to this SCN blog Whats new in SAP Solution Manager 7.2? it's been delayed until at least Q2 2016, and it doesn't look like there's much in the roadmap that greatly enhances technical monitoring or automation.

..... Click the link for more information. . It began with the end of the last glacial period over 10,000 years ago and evolved into the Neolithic period; this change involved the gradual domestication of plants and animals and the formation of settled communities at various times and places. While Mesolithic cultures lasted in Europe until almost 3000 B.C., Neolithic communities developed in the Middle East between 9000 and 6000 B.C. Mesolithic cultures represent a wide variety of hunting, fishing, and food gathering techniques. This variety may be the result of adaptations to changed ecological conditions associated with the retreat of glaciers, the growth of forests in Europe and deserts in N Africa, and the disappearance of the large game of the Ice Age. Characteristic of the period were hunting and fishing settlements along rivers and on lake shores, where fish and mollusks were abundant. Microliths, the typical stone implements of the Mesolithic period, are smaller and more delicate than those of the late Paleolithic period. Pottery and the use of the bow developed, although their presence in Mesolithic cultures may only indicate contact with early Neolithic peoples. The Azilian culture, which was centered in the Pyrenees region but spread to Switzerland, Belgium, and Scotland, was one of the earliest representatives of Mesolithic culture in Europe. The Azilian was followed by the Tardenoisian culture, which covered much of Europe; most of these settlements are found on dunes or sandy areas. The Maglemosian, named for a site in Denmark, is found in the Baltic region and N England. It occurs in the middle of the Mesolithic period. It is there that hafted axes, an improvement over the Paleolithic hand axe, and bone tools are found. The Ertebolle culture, also named for a site in Denmark, spans most of the late Mesolithic. It is also known as the kitchen-midden culture for the large deposits of mollusk shells found around the settlements. Other late Mesolithic cultures are the Campignian and Asturian, both of which may have had Neolithic contacts. The Mesolithic period in other areas is represented by the Natufian in the Middle East, the Badarian and Gerzean in Egypt, and the Capsian in N Africa. The Natufian culture provides the earliest evidence of an evolution from a Mesolithic to a Neolithic way of life.

It doesn't seem Republican HD 94 candidate Tony Tinderholt is able to handle the pressure or minimal expectations that come from being a political newcomer.
Tinderholt, a staunch Tea Party candidate advocating for more fiscal responsibility from the government, doesn't seem to have any fiscal responsibility of his own. Not in his professional life or when managing his campaign funds.
We previously reported in October how Tinderholt's campaign inexplicably lost $15,000 dollars in loans based on his financial reports released last month. This time again there is the same problem, but only much worse — Tinderholt's current financial report doesn't account for how his campaign has now lost over $33,000 in loans.
For your viewing, you can examine and compare his reports here, here, and here. His outstanding loan information can be found on page two. According to the Ethics Commission, all candidates must provide a corresponding entry highlighting the amount, date and individual paid for any loan reduction.
Yet, Tinderholt seems to think he's above these rules. Or, perhaps, he's simply trying to make his campaign seem more successful than it is — knowing that the Ethics Commission will not conduct an investigation on his reports until after the election is over on Tuesday.
Which brings to question: Do voters in Arlington really want to send someone like Tony Tinderholt to represent them at the Texas Legislature?
Tinderholt's problems are not just his known history of fiscal irresponsibility. Tinderholt is the same candidate who wants to invade Mexico, wishes to impose his reproductive beliefs on all Texas women, doesn't want to invest a dime more on our children's education, wouldn't vote to restore previous educational cuts, and doesn't want Texans to have access to adequate healthcare. He is the same candidate who has lied about his employment history; who previously allowed a minor to drink, drive and cause an accident while Tinderholt was manager at a bar. He is the same candidate who had to file for bankruptcy after a child care business he invested on became insolvent, because it was found out his wife and at least one more child care provider were consuming illegal drugs, including crack cocaine, which Tinderholt knew about.
Still not quite convinced about Tinderholt? Here is a video by The Texas Observer of Tinderholt advocating for violence as a solution to immigration, among many other things he wants to do if HD 94 voters in Arlington send him to Austin:
"I don't care who watches this video and I don't care who's watching me and listening," says Tinderholt. "I'll tell you this: If you get in my way of trying to stop people from trying to come across the border, I'm rolling over the top of you, period."
Tinderholt's alarming comments are not just a concern to Democrats. The Democratic candidate in HD 94, Cole Ballweg, has received the endorsements from local groups that previously supported former state Rep. Diane Patrick, moderate Republican ousted from office by Tinderholt during the GOP primaries. These local organizations and groups are just as concerned about Tinderholt being elected to office as everyone else, and are supporting Democrat Cole Ballweg despite previously having supported a Republican.
One of the latest polls showed Ballweg and Tinderholt virtually tied. Earlier reports by Ballweg showed him having more cash at hand than Tinderholt. Given how competitive this race has become, it is no wonder Tinderholt's biggest fans, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and state Sen. Dan Patrick, were seen block-walking for Tinderholt earlier in the race.
Tinderholt is a concern to any credibility left in our Texas Legislature after twenty years of Republican governing. Progress Texas adequately called Tinderholt possibly the "worst Tea Party candidate running for office in Texas," and compared him to electing Rush Limbaugh to the Texas Legislature.
These remarks would be a whole lot funnier if Tony Tinderholt wasn't perhaps only a couple of days away from being elected to the legislative body that produces the State Budget.

African Savannah Conservation Internships
Preserving and protecting Kenya's incredible biodiversity and wildlife is the main goal of the African Savannah Conservation Project. As an intern, you will live and work on a 48,000-acre reserve in the Great Rift Valley, contributing to vital conservation efforts and research. The reserve is a breeding ground for a diverse range of wild animals and home to more than 450 bird species and over 50 species of mammal. More than 100 critically endangered Rothschild's Giraffe (some 10% of the world population which remains in the wild today) live in the reserve.
The project is based at the Soysambu Conservancy, which is located three hours north of Nairobi. Here, we work to preserve local biodiversity through research and monitoring. Along with hundreds of bird species, you can expect to see buffalo, lions, zebra, waterbuck, impala, Thomson's gazelle, eland, hyenas, leopards, and hippos.
Our main research focus is on the Rothschild's Giraffe and we conduct research on these animals as part of a larger project with other reserves. This research is shared with other conservation authorities with similar aims to ensure the survival of Africa's wildlife for future generations. Ultimately, these joint research efforts could determine the fate of this sub species. All research takes place at Soysambu under the guidance of our skilled and experienced local staff.
This project is suitable for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife, and the great outdoors. You don't need any previous experience to intern on this project.
The activities you can take part in are:
- Endangered species research: Rothschild's Giraffe and its micro-ecology
- Mammal, bird, and plant population studies using observation and tracking techniques
- Removal of invasive plans
- Maintaining natural water holes for animals
- Road maintenance
- Mammal inventories using motion detection camera traps
- Animal and plant identification
- Anti-poaching patrols
- Community work (introducing tree nurseries, for example)
Work at the conservancy consists of a combination of observational research tasks and practical hands on work. You usually work five days a week, typically from 8am to noon and then again from 2pm until 5pm. Depending on the activities, you may be required to start earlier or finish later or even work over the weekend.
The work is divided up among all of our volunteers using a weekly schedule. Trained local staff are on hand to supervise activities and provide support. You will also be able to take part in workshops designed to teach you about different aspects of the project and the environment you will come to call home.
The major focus of this project is to aid in the conservation of Kenya's native biodiversity. With Soysambu being home to more than Rothschild's giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi), we have decided to make this project a priority as there are only 670 individuals of this sub species left in the wild. By volunteering on this project, you will have an active role in the protection of a sub species that is more endangered than the rhino.
To contribute to our overall aim, work is also focused on the reserve's other wildlife such as Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer), plains zebra (Equus quagga), impala (Aepyceros melampus), hyena (Crocuta crocta), hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibious), and leopard (Panthera pardus), to name a few. These mammals, along with 200 species of bird and 100 species of indigenous plants, keep our staff and volunteers very busy in achieving our goals.
Kenya is renowned for being the ultimate safari destination and animals can be seen roaming wild along the roadsides. However, as the human population multiplies there is the continuous and increasing threat of poaching, pollution, and damage caused by residential and commercial development. Reserves such as Soysambu create havens for wildlife and allow wilderness areas to flourish.
With such a wide range of research and practical projects at Soysambu, you will learn a new range of skills. In addition to the practical skills learned through the day-to-day responsibilities of volunteering on a wildlife reserve, you gain an increased awareness of the African landscape, its animals, and their ecology.

Proof that politicians are human too
THE Barnaby Joyce affair merely proves that politicians are human with the same weaknesses as everyone else. Broken marriage is never pretty and unfortunately it's the children that suffer from the breakup.
This affair situation has been going on for some time in parliament with other ministers involved in love affairs. However, where it gets messy is when ministers gain well-paid appointments for their partners or lovers in their departments.
In some cases their partners are appointed to highly paid posts for which they are not qualified to do or had to compete with other applicants for the job.
This is a gross violation of protocol and a cost to taxpayers that is unjustified but covered up by the political party they belong to.
There is a proposal being discussed banning ministers from having affairs with their staff, but if it comes into force it would be impossible to police.
It is interesting to note since the Joyce affair that there has been a deathly hush in parliament from other members, wonder why?

Georgia's high school graduating class of 2017 left an estimated $70M in free federal financial aid for college unclaimed by failing to fill out the required application, according to information published by NerdWallet.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly called the FAFSA, serves as the
application for all federal student financial aid programs and most state of Georgia financial aid programs. The application for students planning to enroll in college for the Fall 2019 – Spring 2020 year just became available on Oct. 1.
The Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC), the state agency responsible for administering all of the state's scholarship, grant, and student loan programs, encourages high school seniors, college students, and parents to please take note and seek assistance if needed to fill out the form.
I am troubled that countless students in our state are eligible for federal and state financial aid programs but fail to take advantage of those opportunities because of lack of information or knowledge about the application and financial aid procedures.
The Federal Pell Grant provides up to $6,095 a year for students with the most need. Coupled with state financial aid programs, such as the HOPE Career Grant, students seeking a postsecondary certificate or diploma in high-demand career fields that have nearly guaranteed job placement rates can attend college tuition free and with many of the other associated costs covered.
Many resources are available state-wide to assist students and their parents with the application process. GSFC provides free financial aid information sessions, application completion events, and even one-on-one counseling to students and families. Events are hosted around the state and are publicized at high schools.
Georgia's College Connector, a free print and online publication, provides detailed information on the college financial aid process, including checklists and timelines. To find an event near you or for assistance, call 1-800-505-4732 or email email@example.com .
Just as troubling to me though are the countless instances of students that pay for college planning assistance that can be accessed for free. If you are applying to an Ivy League or highly selective institution, by all means, utilize the services of a college entrance coach or consultant if you feel it's warranted and you can.
However, most students do not need to pay for assistance to attend most institutions. And, while we hope you stay in Georgia for your postsecondary education, we would encourage you to visit the site www.foryounotforprofit.org if you are seeking a private student loan or if you need financial aid assistance in other states. All of the resources available there are provided by other state-based and nonprofit agencies that have your best interests first.
Caylee Noggle
interim president, GSFC

High School Juniors, March is here and spring is in the air…and that means spring travel season is here for college admissions representatives!
You may have gone to a college fair this fall but think about how much more you know now about your college search than you did then. You probably have a better sense of your grades for the junior year, the courses you will be taking senior year, you may have even received some SAT or ACT scores by now. Also, you may have some colleges on an initial list that are sparking your curiosity. Why not take this opportunity to go ask some admissions representatives from the colleges you are interested some questions, discover some new colleges to round out your list, and fill out your contact information so you can get more information.
The National Association of College Admissions Counseling (NACAC) sponsors college fairs across the country during the spring. Take a look at the list of dates and locations to see if there is one in your community.
For advice about how to make the most of your college fair experience see my past blog post here.

Information SarnIa Lambton (ISL) is a database of community services serving the Sarnia Lambton area. It provides referral services through a book, or on its web site
We are supported by volunteers who update information and by the Board of Directors who handle the daily business of the organization.
We are a non- profit, charitable organization initially funded by
the Province in accordance with the Association of Community Information Centers of
Ontario (ACICO) through municipalities.
The first host of Information Sarnia Lambton was the Sarnia-Lambton Chamber of Commerce in the mid 1960's. Full time staff had grown to three, fielding 15,000 questions per year. In 1990 the Chamber decided to discontinue hosting this
For the next 5 years the United Way operated Information Sarnia Lambton.
In 1995, a new group of community volunteers continued Information Sarnia Lambton.
Funding currently comes through the sale of information in a printed Community Services Directory, CD's, and the sale of our database to other organizations.
Over the years, ISL has used Edibase, Excel and Ask Sam as software for our
database. In 2007, ISL has now moved over to using CIOC web based software so our
data can be easily shared between different Information Centres across Canada.

"Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund"- Anthony Bourdain
Bourdain is one of the few chefs the world offered us that really understood food for what it was and what it had the potential to be. While most others focused on one cuisine and saw only one side to cooking, he was one of the few that was able to view the full spectrum of what is now considered the world's culinary understanding.
Most chefs tend to stop pushing forward after they reach the point of owning their own restaurant. What Anthony's fans value most is the fact that he never saw any point as the end. When he travelled, so did millions of others and it taught us exactly what was out there.
A lot of it is stuff most of us do not have the courage to even look at without having to deal with our gag reflex. We can wholeheartedly admire the way Anthony never shied away from trying something new but it also needs to be understood that his capabilities far surpassed ours.
This list can also be viewed as a list of challenges to those who dare to test their taste buds or just a fun read. Either way, this is yet another well-deserved acknowledgement to a guy that for many is a total inspiration.
25 Balut
A fetal duck egg is something most of cannot deal with reading about let alone eating. Coming from someone who has been to Cambodia - this dish ain't pretty. Fetal duck eggs are predominately available in Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam. As many locals in these countries explain to tourists over and over again, South-East Asia has always had to deal with a lot of poverty and with it comes the need to eat just about anything. Even now as the economy is getting better, the food from the past has simply taken on a new role and become a delicacy instead of a necessity. Even though this dish may look a little vile, Bourdain promises that it is a "crunchy, delicious" snack.
24 Cow Liquids
While in Kenya along with his fellow diner, Kamau Bell, Anthony tried a mixture of cow's blood and milk that is a well known drink among the locals. They tried this drink while they were at the Masai village where it is typically found. This drink has been known to grace religious ceremonies as well as occasions that include feasting. Other than this, it is also used as an ingredient with other dishes that are made in the village. The cow is not actually killed for this drink. It does go through an experience that is not exactly pleasurable but it is taken care of afterwards rather than the meat being used as well.
23 Cobra Heart
Cobra heart is considered to be a delicacy that helps with a men's virility in South-East Asia. Because of this, it tends to attract tons of tourists that want to give the famous dish a try for the story if nothing else. This is actually one of the first dishes that Anthony ever tried on camera. It should be taken into account that this cobra heart is consumed while it is still beating. Yup, that is right. Anthony may have nerves of steel but we are in no way recommending this. Anyway, he did mention that he thought it tastes like a "very athletic, aggressive oyster" which translates to "bad oyster" in most people's heads.
22 Hákarl
This is something that even Anthony found difficult to stomach. Hakarl essentially translates to fermented shark and is found in Iceland. If you do visit Iceland, there is a lot to see and a lot to try- do not bother trying this though. It probably came into existence because someone thought it would be a great dare and then just caught on by mistake. Not only is this something that tastes bad but it is also known to be one of the world's smelliest foods. Yes. It is that bad. So, if a friend of yours wants company- say no to that too. Anthony describes this dish as "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing." If the culinary world's daredevil could not take it, we are not going to roll the dice.
21 Raw Seal Eyeball
Looking for a side dish for your balut? This raw seal eyeball dish could be exactly what you are looking for...or avoiding if you are one of the sane ones. Throwing caution to the wind, Anthony had not only the eyeball but the liver and kidney as well. When seal is being eaten, being offered the eyeball is actually an honour. It is considered to be a way of showing generosity to the guest and you must never refuse it. Which is why you should never eat seal with locals. Bourdain said that the eyeball was 'not bad' which is just not reassuring enough.
20 Pig Blood Soup
While Bourdain was in Thailand, he went to a local restaurant that was famous for using just about any animal part that was in existence. This episode of Parts Unknown like many before it contained some bits where viewer discretion is advised. At this restaurant, Bourdain decided to take the plunge and try a soup that had a significant amount of pig blood as its main ingredient. This was actually something that even Bourdain admitted he was dreading since the soup literally looked like a pool of blood. After trying it though, Anthony did admit that it was quite nice with some a sweet and spicy taste to it. To each their own I suppose.
19 Sheep Gonads
If you have watched even a few episodes of Parts Unknown, you will quickly figure out that Anthony has tried a wide variety of animal parts and sheep is just another one on the list for him. When he was filming in Morocco's desert, Bourdain tried roasted sheep's balls. His answer to how it tasted just proves my initial point. He said that it tastes 'like any other he has tried.' Even though Bourdain grew accustomed to these strange dishes, it is doubtful that we ever will so it is probably best to stay away.
18 Pigeon Meat
In Cairo, pigeon meat is actually served to newlyweds to help them with 'what is to come.' This is also served in restaurants across Egypt though so if you do want to try it you do not have to get married thankfully. The dish in itself actually tastes pretty good and looks pretty crispy because of its batter layering. It is stuffed with various spices and served with a brown liquid drink that is supposed to be extremely healthy. This liquid is actually the broth that remains when cooking the meal that is served on the side as a drink. Overall, it may taste great but it does sound a bit gross at the same time.
17 Live Octopus
On one of Anthony's No Reservations episodes, he visited one of New York's most exotic restaurants to try what is considered some of the best seafood. Over there is where he tried live octopus. This is considered to be an extremely expensive dish and it needs a skilled chef. If you want to try this one, you are not going to need just your wallet but also a little courage. The live octopus has been known to latch on to the throats of diners in a last-ditch attempt of escape. This can potentially suffocate a diner in a worst case scenario so it is best to stay away.
16 Egusi Soup
Like a lot of places that Bourdain visits, Nigeria is not exactly tourist central and so its food is not known around the world like some cuisines are. Normally when a place gets a large number of tourists, the food does become westernized to a certain extent but certain places like Nigeria have kept their originality intact. Whether this is good or bad depends on your palette and what dish it is. While in Lagos, one of Africa's biggest cities, Bourdain tried the egusi soup that is made with goat meat and fish stock among other ingredients. Most people cannot stand the look of it but some do manage to have a bite.
15 Warthog...Posterior
Here is a quick tip from Anthony - if you are in Namibia, ignore what the backpackers of the past have to say and do NOT eat like the locals. It may well be your last meal if you do. Warthog anus sounds like something you would like to tell friends you tried while you were on your travels but it simply is not worth it. This dish lacks a lot of things, most notably: hygiene, taste and appeal. The anus is served unwashed with dust, sand and some fecal matter as your sides. Unfortunately enough Bourdain could not even stop at one bite because it would have been rude since the tribe chief was right next to him. In short - experimentation has limits and we should probably learn from his mistakes.
14 Dirt Omelettes
Namibia has some pretty scary dishes on offer, as we have already established. A lot of them are pretty unhygienic and you do not have a McDonald's next to it as back up option. The ostrich dirt omelettes are like your starter before the warthog anus. These omelettes substitute cheese, onions, tomatoes and every other traditional ingredient with a little bit of dirt - literally. This is where I would draw the line personally but Bourdain just could not say no. I suppose you are getting a lot of minerals in his defense but that also comes with the possibility of a hospital bill.
13 Stinky Tofu
This one sounds pretty tame but stinky tofu is pretty terrible. Anthony tried this one while he was visiting China and deeply regretted it soon after. Stinky Tofu is essentially fermented tofu and is disgusting to the point where swallowing it is difficult. Andrew Zimmern, his fellow diner, found it hard to even get it down his throat. The tofu you are served can be up to ten years old with some raving over it while others cannot stand the thought. It is much like foie gras in some ways - a developed taste if you have an open mind.
12 Bull Member
Most of us watch 'I am a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' and cringe at the thought of our favourite celebrities eating the undercarriage of animals for a game show. Anthony wants to do this. He called the meat rubbery and 'not bad' when he tried it. This is at best a dare that you will inevitably lose and at worse a trip to the hospital. Watching Bourdain try these dishes was not even easy for us to watch. This dish does not even have health benefits that you could convince yourself with. It is just best left alone. Somethings are not meant to be cooked.
11 Stewed Pork Leg
An episode of Parts Unknown that followed Bourdain around Chiang Mai featured a scene where Bourdain and his friend tried a local speciality - stewed pork leg. The woman that prepared this dish for them was known to be a master at her trade and was known throughout the area. Known locally as Khao Kha Moo, the dish is cooked in a sauce that has been taught to the children of her family for years. This sauce is never actually thrown out by the cook. She went on to explain that the sauce is never restarted. It just continues to be made every day. The pork leg is cooked until tender after which it is served in bite-size pieces.
10 Breakfast Porridge
While Bourdain was in Brazil, he started off pretty tame and went for the meats and rice but sooner or later he decided to give the weirder foods a go. During his stay, he got pretty friendly with a local boy who he shared his fast food meal with. Their friendship helped Bourdain find the local spots that he was craving. One of these restaurants served what became known as the breakfast porridge. You may be comfortable with your oatmeal and waffles but Brazil takes it a step further. You can order a beef broth porridge at seven in the morning if you know where to look. This yellow liquid does not look appealing, to say the least. The thick yellow broth consists of beef parts as well. For most people, beef broth sounds like a bad idea but Bourdain thanked the owner of the restaurant for a great meal after he was done so maybe we are wrong?
9 Bile Soup
Bourdain has always managed to find some pretty odd meals and never shied away after he figures out what exactly they are made of. This happened yet again in Pampanga. A diner sitting next to him at a restaurant he was eating at managed to convince him to order a bowlful of bile soup that contained some chopped up organ parts. Bile is known to be very bitter but it was part of the experience. Even Bourdain said that the dish was too gross even for him which is rare. He has tried bile before as well and the second time was unfortunately not the charm. Overall, Anthony does not recommend anything that has bile in it.
8 Blood Sausage
This is actually one of Bourdain's favourite dishes but for a lot of other people, it is something that crosses the line. Anthony used to have this dish at Les Halles, where he also worked as executive chef, and the restaurant actually got pretty famous because of his writings about it. This sausage is made out of congealed porcine blood that is then mixed with pork fat. This then creates a paste which is stuffed into a casing before being fried with butter. This blood sausage is totally black and does not go well with much. It is not worth a try unless you are extremely adventurous.
7 Beondegi Soup
In an episode of Parts Unknown, when Bourdain was in South Korea, he decided to try the Beondegi soup. While he was in South Korea he also managed to have a meal with an ex-member of a local rap group. Together they had the soup that we have already mentioned otherwise known as the soup of death.
Beondegi soup is made out of silkworm larva predominantly so expect those flavours to overpower any other ingredient. This soup is normally sold from street vendors and not many tourists go near it. In their defense, it does not look very appealing.
6 Cuttlefish Ink
Even though most of Bourdain's strangest dishes are from South-East Asia, this one is actually from Italy. It is a pasta dish that is served in the southern regions of the country. Sicily, in particular, serves this dish pretty regularly. It has the basic pasta and shrimp along with a cuttlefish ink sauce. Adding cuttlefish ink to pasta in Sicily has actually been going on for ages but it is not something that a lot of tourists try. Firstly because it is not found as easily as pizza is and second - it does scare you a bit at first unfortunately enough.
5 Pig Ear Sandwiches
So, while we were taking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school for lunch there have also been children taking in sandwiches that have pig ears instead of the peanut butter. In the Mississippi Delta region, Bourdain managed to find a restaurant that exclusively sold pig ear sandwiches that featured on the menu as 'simply ears.' These sandwiches sell like hot cross buns and they can be compared to sliders because you will be done in three bites. Even though many claim this sandwich is among the best dishes they have ever tasted, you will have to get over some amount of initial fear. Here is the restaurant in case you gather the courage to give it a go.
4 Tripe
Tripe is found pretty much everywhere. For those of you who do not know what tripe is - it is the lining of the stomach of an animal. Tripe can look different depending on various factors like the animal it is coming from and the condition of the animal. It is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world and Bourdain has actually tried tripe in numerous countries including Portugal among others. Tripe is not for the faint of heart and it does not taste very good even after you gather the courage to take a bite. We would stay away from this one.
3 Beaver
Most of us know for a fact that Canada is home to some of the nicest people on the planet and that they would not hurt a fly. This sentiment does not carry forward to their beaver friends though as Anthony soon figured out. If you are ever in Canada, you do have the rare opportunity where you can try some beaver. This beaver meat is prepared in a pot and stewed for a while. The tender meat is then served along with a sauce that has been thickened with the animal's blood. Yup- leave your vegan friends behind, this is not going to fly well with them at all.
2 Iguana Tamales
During one of his first ever episodes on television, Bourdain visited a small town in Mexico where he tried Iguana Tamales. This may sound like a dish that you would not even fathom exists but for a lot of people in the small town of Oaxaca, it is something they have every day. This dish is traditionally prepared during holy week and is not even known very well across Mexico. Iguana meat is actually quite nice or so Bourdain says as long as you do not think about the fact that it came from an iguana. US customs claims that they have stopped over 60 pounds of what they believe is iguana meat being smuggled in. So, apparently, some people really do appreciate the dish.
1 Meat Slushy
During one of Anthony's episodes for No Reservations, he visited Singapore and tried a couple of dishes available at a local food court. Most people would not attempt trying any of these chalking them up to 'something that only locals can appreciate.'
Bourdain has always been one to pay no attention to stuff like that so he decided to go for the meat slushy. This is essentially served as a pile of bones along with some broth in a bowl. You do not really need any cutlery to enjoy this dish. As Bourdain did, you simply pick up the bones and suck out the bone marrow.

Chapter 1
"I'm sorry Mrs. Crawley, but the news isn't good." The doctor's kind face had deep-set wrinkles bracketing his thin lips and framed a smile, but today they made his tipped frown seem pitifully sad. "It seems you have a hostile uterus."
Sera stared at him trying to absorb his words, but all she heard was "hostile".
"Yes. Basically your womb isn't an ideal place for the implantation of a fertilized embryo. The likelihood of you ever conceiving is slim, and even if you did conceive, the chances that the pregnancy would be supported longer than the first trimester are extremely improbable. I'm sorry. I know that's not what you were hoping to hear—"
"Not what I was hoping to hear?" She knew she was in shock, and that made it all the easier to blast her disappointment with anger. "I think that's putting it rather mildly Martin, don't you? And why are you calling me Mrs. Crawley? My name is Sera, and I've been coming to you for almost fifteen years. You know everything there is to know about my physical health, and you've never once mentioned that I had a hostile womb."
"Seraphina it's not something I could have known based on the standard pelvic tests we do annually. The fertility testing you had in Grand Forks highlighted some disturbing inconsistencies. As you know fertility science is still in its infancy. We only know so much about why the female reproductive organs are sometimes lacking. I've reviewed your tests extensively, and I even had a colleague of mine review them for a second opinion. Unfortunately, he agreed with my results. You're barren." Martin Warburg took off his glasses and set them on the desk in front of him, his gaze sympathetic. After several moments of tense silence, he sighed and gestured to the phone on his desk. "Would you like me to call Abe for you?"
Abe. Her husband. The man who'd loved her for the last fifteen years unconditionally. The sweetest, kindest soul on the planet. He'd supported her through month after month of negative pregnancy tests, and ten years of disappointment. Now she had to tell him that she was a defective wife. Unable to give him the children he so badly wanted. The family they'd dreamed of creating together.
"No. Thank you, but I need some time to…um…digest this information. I'll talk to him soon." Rising from the hard wooden chair where all of her dreams had been dashed, Seraphina Crawley brushed her braid behind her shoulder, and picked up her pocketbook. "Thank you, Doctor."
Martin rose to his feet quickly, and began to move her way. "Sera, you shouldn't be alone to process this news. Let me call Abe and have him come collect you. Your car will be fine here in the lot."
"I said, no thank you. I appreciate everything you've done for me and all the time you've devoted to this, but now that we know how futile it is… Well, I suppose it's best to just let the things that are out of our control, go. Tell Lenora that I said hello." Reaching for the handle on the door, she hurried to put as much distance as possible between herself and the terrible news.
The sunshine was dimmer, and the day seemed significantly drearier as she stepped out of the office onto the sidewalk. Montford was a very small town, so there was no one on the street to see her sorrow as tears began to fall from her eyes. By the time she'd settled in behind the wheel of her car, she was gasping for air around the sobs of pain that echoed around her. Logically, she knew they were from her own throat, but somehow it seemed she was completely separate from the emotional response. She could feel herself trembling, hear the sniffles, and taste the vomit on the back of her tongue, but she still wasn't ready to accept it was real. No matter what she did, or how healthy she lived her life, she'd never be a mother.
She'd known instinctively for a while that something was wrong. She was an only child, but not for lack of trying. Her parents had always wanted more children, but medical science wasn't as good in the forties and fifties. Nowadays they were able to give women more of an idea of what was wrong…in most cases.
Struggling to calm her raging emotions, she closed her eyes and focused her energies on slowing the tears. Once her breathing eased back to a normal rhythm, she reached for the keys and shoved them into the ignition with a silent prayer that her old clunker would start today. The last thing she needed was more to deal with. Between Montford and Crawley Creek she would have twenty minutes to figure out how she was going to tell her husband the bad news.
At thirty years old, she felt like her life had just ended.

Sony may have a new compact device that is currently in the works, having been listed with the model number E5663 which is slated to have a 4.6-inch screen attached to it. Most of the news surrounding Sony at this time has to do with the company's new flagship device, the Xperia Z4 or otherwise known as the Xperia Z3+ launched elsewhere outside of Japan, but Sony no doubt has other handsets in development. The E5663 for example. Prior to today there has been no mention of specifications, so the details having been leaked out are somewhat of a big deal, although it's worth remembering these are just leaks for now and not confirmed by Sony as official details, so there is a chance that things could end up differently for the E5663 when it launches.
In addition to the 4.6-inch display size that has been rumored for the Sony E5663 model device, it's being rumored that it will also be of 1080p resolution, making it a device equipped with a higher resolution screen than other compact devices Sony has released. Besides the screen details, it's said to be sporting a MediaTek processor inside, more specifically the MediaTek MT6795 CPU which is an octa-core chipset that clocks in at 1.9GHz. MediaTek has been making some ground lately showing that what they have to offer can be just as powerful as some of the bigger players while also remaining at a lower cost, so this could help keep the price of the E5663 lower than if Sony were to be using a CPU from Qualcomm.
Continuing on with the hardware specifications, the rumor also states that the E5663 will come equipped with 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage space, which isn't too far of a stretch since plenty of Sony phones come with this amount of hard drive space. When it comes to the camera, speculations due to the benchmarks suggest a 13MP camera on the front of the device, and a 21MP camera on the back which has become standard with most Sony devices. So far there aren't any details on price for the phone, nor an official name, nor a launch date. For that matter, as we stated above the details on specs aren't confirmed either at this point, so for now these are just rumors.

Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments
|Knowledge: Knowledge is a conscious relationship to sentences or propositions, which legitimately attributes to them truth or falsehood. What is known is true.

Modality/Lorenzen/Wessel: it is assumed a certain group of people has accepted a certain system of statements W as true. From these people, all statements which follow logical from these statements are then recognized as true.
Lorenzen regards this as meaningful only for future statements.
Knowledge/Lorenzen/Wessel: for Lorenzen, it follows that everything we know is necessary with regard to this knowledge.
Tradition: For example, if we know that in a pea pod are five peas and that it contains protein. This is only the second necessary knowledge. According to Lorenzen, both statements are necessary knowledge. (WesselVsLorenzen).
Modality/WesselVsLorenzen: too broad a view.

Venus Vent Heat Through Giant Hot Spots
The planet Venus may be venting interior heat through giant hot spots called coronae, a form of volcanism, a Magellan scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said.
The Magellan spacecraft has mapped with imaging radar more than 65 ? percent of Venus since last Sept. 15, project officials said. The first 243-day mapping cycle ends May 15.
"Coronae may be hot spots, the surface expression of hot material rising from the interior of the planet," said Dr. Ellen Stofan, a geologist on the Magellan project.
"High-resolution Magellan data have revealed many exciting new aspects of coronae," she said.
She said coronae are among the several types of circular features associated with volcanism that have been identified on Venus. Others include large volcanoes and spider web-shaped features called arachnoids.
Coronae are circular or oval features as much as a mile or more high surrounded by a ring of ridges and troughs. They range in size from about 100 miles to more than 600 miles in diameter and are seen in many low-lying plains regions on Venus.
Arachnoids are circular volcanic structures surrounded by complex fractures. They may form by volcanism in a region where the surface is pulling apart or extending, Stofan said. "Coronae, arachnoids and volcanoes are ways in which Venus transfers heat from its interior out to the surface," she said. "On Earth, this loss or transfer of heat is dominated by plate tectonics. It is too early to determine if Venus also has plate tectonics, but hot spots do seem to be important to Venus' heat loss."
The project also announced that the first CD-ROM, or compact disc read-only-memory, containing Magellan mosaics of radar images was released to the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) for public distribution. One CD-ROM can hold about 600 megabytes of information, or about 270,000 pages of text. The information can be easily accessed with a computer using a CD-ROM reader similar to audio CD-players.
Magellan CD-ROMs containing 10 Magellan mosaics each, or 560 individual images, are produced by JPL and Dr. Raymond Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.
"Distribution of data to the public by CD-ROM will revolutionize the way science is done," said Project Scientist Dr. Steve Saunders. "CD-ROM technology provides an excellent way to store, distribute and access large volumes of data.
"I can see a time in the near future when students all over the country can be using this kind of data in classwork and projects," he said.
The first Magellan CD-ROM may be obtained through the NSSDC, Goddard Space Flight Center Code 601.4, Greenbelt, Md. 20771. Several more CD-ROMs will be delivered to the NSSDC in the coming months following publication of the first Magellan science results in an April issue of Science magazine, Saunders said.
All Magellan mosaics will eventually be placed on CD-ROMs and delivered to the NSSDC for distribution to the public.
