Maybe, you are wondering why some friends or family members have begun to hint you may have issues with what you use. You feel fine, you're socially active, have a job, and your life generally goes well. You've never been to the addiction treatment center, you don't consider yourself addicted, and you don't think you need any help with your life.
But answer a simple question: have you ever felt defensive or irritated by the topic when some of your close ones try to discuss it? If so, maybe it is the right time to reconsider your opinion about the level of addiction you may have.
Those around you may see the situation differently and notice things that escape your mind. The changes you may see as nothing important can appear telling for those who've seen them occur. Before it's too late, check the following points to get something to think about and decide if you need to correct your behavior just slightly or if it is time to seek professional help.
1. Physical symptoms
This is something others notice faster than you. Many substances affect your appetite and ability to sleep well. You may chalk it off to overworking or something that makes you nervous, but this might not be the case.
Other than easily noticeable changes, the main physical symptom that signals you have an addiction is withdrawal when you stop taking what you use. If you experience trouble with dropping the substance use, the clear message here is you have a real problem that needs to be addressed.
While a severe hangover leads many to promise they will never drink again (the promise is often forgotten as soon as they feel better), not every addiction puts you in that unbearable physical state to make you think. Internet addiction signs, symptoms, and treatment will be very different from an alcohol or drug addict experience. It is important to detect the problem timely and begin working on it when it's still possible.
2. Overall appearance
Other than sleep and appetite, you may experience weight loss which is also noticeable to those around you. Has your skin become dryer or otherwise? Has someone told you your attitude became more nervous, and sometimes you lack concentration? What about personal hygiene? Take a look at your photos from a period you haven't used. Did you look better then?
Any substance addiction will alter your looks, and it's important, to be honest with yourself and consider some steps to change the situation.
3. Mood swings
Do the delays in taking your poison to make you grumpy, irritable, or even angry? Do you let euphoria take you over completely when you consume the substance? Do you experience sudden mood changes from dancing over the clouds to falling into the darkest void?
Many substances that lead to addiction alter your brain significantly, putting you on an unstoppable roller-coaster of mood changes you can't properly control. If this happens regularly and affects your life and your close ones' lives negatively, it's time to think about visiting an addiction treatment center and talking to a specialist.
4. Erratic behavior
Another reason to think about whether you need help is unstable and erratic behavior. Addiction often leads to broken promises and suddenly changing plans, which can make living or working with you unbearable. When people can't trust you, they stop including you in their daily activities or rely on you for important projects that might speed up your career. When you are unstable, there's no sense in dealing with you.
If you notice this happens regularly, think about seeking help. We are social creatures and need each other, but if you cause more trouble than use, you may find yourself with no one around.
5. Changes in sleep habits
As we've mentioned earlier, your sleep habits might change due to substance usage. You may experience insomnia or feel the significant unpleasant changes in your sleep quality. Lack of good sleep affects human health drastically and should be avoided. If you've noticed good sleep has become an issue, consider your addiction the primary cause.
Any kind of addiction changes our lives in all areas. It's hard to live a balanced and happy life while the addiction hangs like the Sword of Damocles over your head. The earlier you acknowledge the problem, the easier it would be to take your life into your hands again. The way is not easy for many but manageable with some effort and motivation. Don't hesitate to go clean and welcome your new healthy, and happy life.

Sit. Stay. Smile!: Pet Portraits As Christmas Gifts!
by Sandra Murphy
As every dog lover learns early on, you can't grab a camera and focus faster than your pup can put a nose print on the lens or become a retreating backside. Cat people fare no better—a cute pose turns into a blur or a hunched-up blob of fur blending in with the rug. How can we get a good picture? Sometimes it's best to turn to the professionals.

Castlery | Dec 7, 2023
In the evolving world of interior design, trends come and go, but some manage to carve a lasting niche for themselves. One such trend that's been making waves in recent times is bouclé furniture.
From upscale homes to trendy offices, bouclé fabric has become the darling of interior enthusiasts, blending comfort and style in a unique and captivating way. In this article, we delve into the origins of bouclé, its distinctive features, and why it has become a staple in contemporary furniture design.
Pronounced 'boo-clay', this fabric is derived from the French word for 'curled' or 'looped' and it is characterized by its looped, curly fibers.
Originating in the mid-20th century, fashion house Chanel first introduced bouclé in their apparel, which associated the fabric with luxury. Bouclé was then incorporated into furniture by designers such as Eero Saarinen and Florence Knoll.
Bouclé fabric is made up of looped fibers that create a 3D surface.
What sets bouclé apart from other fabrics is its distinct texture. The looped yarns create a three-dimensional surface that adds depth and visual interest to furniture pieces. This unique texture not only elevates the tactile experience but also brings an element of sophistication to any space.
Its soft, textured surface exudes a sense of warmth and coziness, making it an ideal choice for furniture that beckons relaxation.
Although bouclé is typically made of wool, it can be made from a variety of other materials like cotton, silk, and other synthetic blends. The choice of fibers can influence the hand feel, appearance, and durability of the final product.
Here are some common types of bouclé you can find in the market:
Our bouclé furniture collection comprises pieces mainly made from synthetic fibers like polyester. Pictured: The Lucas Performance Bouclé Sofa, two Paloma Bouclé Armchairs in Snow, and Harper Sideboard.
While bouclé has a rich history, its current resurgence can be attributed to its timeless appeal. In an era where the fusion of classic and contemporary styles is celebrated, bouclé seamlessly fits into various design schemes.
From mid-century modern interiors to modern homes, its timeless appeal means that bouclé furniture will remain stylish and relevant for years to come. Its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining on the cutting edge of modern aesthetics has made it a favorite among designers and homeowners alike.

Bouclé's adaptability is another factor contributing to its popularity. From iconic mid-century modern pieces to avant-garde creations, bouclé effortlessly transcends design boundaries.
From sofas and armchairs to beds and accent pieces, bouclé can be easily upholstered onto a variety of furniture to transform it into a statement piece.

In a world where comfort is non-negotiable, bouclé provides a tactile luxury that goes beyond aesthetics.
The soft, plush feel of bouclé furniture creates a welcoming atmosphere, inviting individuals to sink into its embrace. This emphasis on comfort without compromising on style aligns perfectly with the evolving preferences of homeowners.

While this is highly dependent on the type of fibers used, bouclé fabric can be durable and resistant to wear and tear.
As mentioned, several bouclé furniture are made using synthetic fibers like polyester. Compared to cotton or wool, polyester is much more durable and strong. Polyester bouclés can even be treated with a performance coating which gives them spill- and stain-resistant properties.

This makes bouclé furniture a practical choice for high-traffic areas where longevity and resilience are important considerations.

Cleaning bouclé furniture requires a gentle and careful approach to preserve the texture and appearance of the fabric. While it can be tougher to clean than regular fabric, it's not that much of a hassle if you follow the right steps and procedures!
Here are some tips on cleaning and maintaining bouclé furniture:
In the realm of furniture design, bouclé has proven itself to be more than just a passing trend. Its ability to blend heritage with modernity, coupled with a commitment to comfort, has solidified its place in the design landscape. As we navigate the ever-shifting currents of design preferences, consider incorporating bouclé furniture to embody the essence of timeless elegance and inviting warmth.
Bouclé is known for its looped and curled yarns, creating a textured, three-dimensional surface. This gives bouclé a distinctive appearance, adding depth and visual interest to the fabric.
Sherpa has a more rustic appearance, mimicking the look of natural sheep's wool. It tends to have a fuzzy and piled texture, contributing to a cozy and casual aesthetic.

Bouclé fabric can be a good choice for homes with pets to some extent, but there are considerations to keep in mind. Depending on the specific fibers used in the bouclé fabric, it can be durable, resistant to spills and stains, and hypoallergenic. However, the textured nature of the fibers can trap more pet hair and may be more susceptible to scratching damage compared to smoother fabrics.
Yes, bouclé fabric is known for its soft and plush texture. The looped and curled fibers create a soft and inviting feel, adding a layer of comfort to any upholstery.
Bouclé can be made from a variety of materials - from natural fibers like wool and cotton to synthetic blends like polyester and acrylic.

Visa CEO Optimistic of Crypto Sector Despite Recent Downturn
• Visa CEO Al Kelly expressed the company's dedication to cryptocurrency usage despite recent market downturn.
• Cuy Sheffield, head of Visa's crypto business, discussed creating "muscle memory" for settling payments with stablecoins.
• At the annual shareholder meeting, Al Kelly stated that any investments in cryptocurrency firms or funds are "immaterial".
Visa Optimistic of Crypto Sector Despite Recent Downturn
Visa CEO Al Kelly has expressed the company's dedication to cryptocurrency usage despite recent market downturn. At Tuesday's annual shareholder meeting, Kelly indicated that stablecoins remain promising and that any investments made in cryptocurrency companies or funds have been "immaterial".
Creating 'Muscle Memory' For Settlements With Stablecoin
At the StarkWare Sessions 2023, Visa's head of crypto business Cuy Sheffield discussed creating a "muscle memory" for settling payments with stablecoins. He said: "We've been testing how to actually accept settlement payments from issuers in USDC starting on Ethereum and paying out in USDC on Ethereum. So, these are large value settlement payments." Most settlements still occur through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) system as efforts are underway to integrate blockchain technology into Visa's existing network.
Aims To Facilitate Secure And Standardized Transactions
The non-profit cooperative society SWIFT was created by European bankers to facilitate secure and standardized transaction correspondence between its members. Sheffield validated management's optimism toward blockchain technology and cryptocurrency at the conference fireside discussion.
No Credit Losses Despite Market Volatility
Kelly has said that despite the current downturn in the cryptocurrency sector, the firm has suffered no credit losses and that any investments made in cryptocurrency companies or funds were "immaterial." This further solidifies Visa's commitment to developing innovative solutions for digital currency businesses looking for ways to settle their transactions securely within its platform.
Committed To Cryptocurrency Usage
Visa is confident about its plans involving cryptocurrencies as they remain dedicated to making it easier for digital currency companies to make secure digital settlements through their platform regardless of market volatility. The company is also optimistic about providing a convenient way for customers to convert their digital assets into fiat currencies on their platform as well as exploring new possibilities with blockchain technology and stablecoins going forward.

The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Gregory So, led the HKSAR delegation to attend in Beijing today (September 27) the first meeting of the Inter-ministries Joint Conference on the Development of Qianhai Area in Shenzhen.
Mr So said, "The HKSAR Government welcomes the formal establishment of the Inter-ministries Joint Conference on the development of Qianhai into a Hong Kong/Shenzhen Modern Service Industries Cooperation Zone. The commencement of operation of this high-level, inter-ministry forum symbolises that the development of Qianhai has proceeded to the implementation stage."
The chapter dedicated to Hong Kong and Macao in the "Outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China" promulgated in March this year recognises the co-operation between Hong Kong and Guangdong to develop modern service industries in Qianhai as one of the national development strategies. In his keynote speech delivered in Hong Kong during his visit in mid-August, the Vice-Premier of the State Council, Mr Li Keqiang, stated clearly that the Central Government would formulate preferential policies in the areas of finance and taxation, land, labour protection and human resources to vigorously develop the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone to support the active development of innovative finance, modern logistics, information services, scientific and technological services and other specialised services.
At today's meeting, representatives from relevant ministries of the Central Government, Guangdong Provincial Government, Shenzhen Municipal Government and the HKSAR Government reviewed the work progress of "Overall Development Plan on Hong Kong/Shenzhen Co-operation on Modern Service Industries in Qianhai Area" since the State Council approved it in August last year. They also conducted in-depth discussions on how to drive the development of Qianhai and enhance its business environment.
In future, the Inter-ministries Joint Conference on the Development of Qianhai Area in Shenzhen will co-ordinate policies relating to the development of Qianhai and serve as an important platform to drive the implementation of such policies with a view to ensuring that the policies of the Central Government are materialised in Qianhai.
According to the consensus reached between the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the Shenzhen Municipal Government takes a leading role and is responsible for the development and management of Qianhai, while the HKSAR Government plays an advisory role by providing comments on development planning as well as the study and formulation of related policies. The HKSAR Government will actively facilitate the Shenzhen authorities to deepen their understanding of the Hong Kong business sector, especially the financial services, professional services and other services sectors, and the policies required to encourage them to set up operations in the Mainland under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems". This would facilitate the Shenzhen authorities to introduce timely and concrete policies that meet the needs of the business sector.
"Hong Kong - Guangdong co-operation has been delegated an important function in the development strategy during the National 12th Five-Year Plan period, of which the development of modern service industries in Qianhai is one of the most important parts. The HKSAR Government will continue to participate actively in the development of Qianhai. Our aim is, on the one hand, to help strengthen the competitiveness of Hong Kong's service industries and open up the Mainland market through supporting the development of Qianhai so as to foster the long-term economic development of Hong Kong. On the other hand, Hong Kong's experience can help expedite the development of a modern industry structure in the Mainland," Mr So added.
The meeting was chaired by the National Development and Reform Commission and attended by senior representatives of relevant ministries of the State Council, the respective governments of the HKSAR, the Guangdong Province and the Shenzhen Municipality, etc.
Other members of the HKSAR delegation included the Permanent Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Mr Joshua Law; the Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Ms Julia Leung; and the Solicitor General, Mr Frank Poon.

http://www.geog.ubc.ca/~kujala/cvs_20030521_bug_733896.diff Official rockbox developers, feel free to upload this patch.
Is status_draw(false) causing it to disappear or is it just
saying 'dont bother rewriting an unchanged status'?
Is the cause instead line ~235 in status.c:
which is being executed even though status is unchanged?
Fixed. Your patch was correct vkujala.

Am using the below syntax to open a survey123 web form:
The above URL is correct but The system is stuck once try to upload data. The reason behind this that it contains in the repeat table 22 records. Is there a way to avoid this.
Hi Oussama,
Thanks for sharing. Is there any repeat inside repeat (nested repeat) in your survey? If yes, then the reason for the failure is that the edit mode does not support nested repeat at this time yet.
If there is no nested repeat in your survey, and you still see the submission error, could you please share your XLSform with us? so that, we can help you identify the cause of the issue.
Actually there is no nested repeat. It doesnt give me submission error . Ist is just freezing because the number of records in the repeat is big.

This sweet newborn baby girl was 21 days old for her session. They drove to our Herrin studio from Cobden Illinois. Little Kamres was just over 7lbs when she was born. She was the perfect mixture of alert and asleep for her session. I absolutely love the fall set we did during her session. It was a kick off to all my fall family sessions that are coming up in the next several weeks. We finished up baby girl's session in just about a hour and a half and mom and dad have a full gallery of images. I asked mom what she expected out of her session prior to coming in and she said "Capture her sweet face and be able to look back and see how much she's grown in years to come." I think we accomplished just that.

Stacie Wilke on Tuesday became the first Democrat to file for the Assembly seat being vacated by Bonnie Parnell.
Republicans Tom Keeton and Bill Reeves have already filed for the District 40 seat.
Wilke, 36, is a member of the Carson City School Board. She will complete four years on that panel in January and said it was that experience which interested her in the Legislature.
"Being on the local school board the last four years, I have seen personally the unfulfilled needs," she said. "It gets frustrating trying to fill local needs when everything is controlled by the state."
She said improving funding for education doesn't necessarily mean raising taxes at the state level. She pointed to vehicle registration fees now collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and distributed to local governments as a possible source.
Wilke, general manager of the Horseshoe Club in Carson City, said rising health care costs are another important issue.
"A lot of our people can't afford the coverage we can get for them," she said.
And she said controlling utility costs is crucial to people with fixed or lower incomes as well as small businesses such as the Horseshoe.
She said she discussed running with Parnell, who chose not to run again for personal reasons, and that her bosses have agreed to allow her the time off during the 120-day session.
In addition, Clarence "Bud" Southard of Dayton filed for the District 38 seat now held by Joe Dini. He is a Republican.

Live like cowboys and wranglers for a week, be an astronaut for a day or channel your inner Tarzan in the treetops of the jungle - Part 2 of our series on amazing holiday destinations for kids looks at some of the best the Americas have to offer.
This is Part 2 of our series on amazing holiday destinations for kids. Click here for Part 1 – Europe.
America swells with kid-tastic attractions, and we're not just talking about mega thrill rides and water slides. Here are seven destinations in North and South America offering something extra special for young'uns.
Some of the best preserved dinosaur tracks in the world can be found in Dinosaur Valley State Park. Rangers lead tours through the Paluxy riverbed, where you can wade right up to giant footprints made by duck-billed dinos, three-toed carnivores and brontosaurus sorts. Then take a swim in the Blue Hole upstream, where more tracks line the ledge.
More info: www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/dinosaur-valley
Glow-in-the-dark plankton light up the water like magic. Book a guided kayak excursion, and aim for the first tour of the evening so you can still spot tree frogs and iguanas lounging on the branches as you paddle through mangrove tunnels. Then wait for nature's light show in the lagoon. Fish flash by like tiny lightning bolts, and the water sparkles like fairy dust every time you move your paddle.

Experience what it's like to rocket into space on the Shuttle Launch Experience flight simulator. Also take tours of mission control, have lunch with an astronaut and even train with one, preparing for g-forces and a mock journey to the International Space Station.

A dream come true for budding zoologists. A walk along the treetop suspension bridges of Monteverde might include an encounter with a family of monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, parrots or more. Also take a look at some of the many "tree house hotel" options for a really special stay.

Don't underestimate the thrill of standing mere feet away from over a million bathtubs of water roaring into a void below, with vast plumes of spray boiling up hundreds of meters into the air. By day you'll see rainbows; at night the falls are dramatically lit, and there are often fireworks too! Book the Cave of the Winds tour. After changing into complimentary sandals and riding a lift 175 feet down into the Niagara Gorge, you'll stand on the Hurricane Deck, where you'll be drenched by the tropical-storm-like spray from the 180-foot Bridal Veil Falls

Home to the tallest, most majestic trees on earth. Amble through Lady Bird Johnson Grove, a mossy fern-covered wilderness of sky-high redwood trees, some of them 2,000 years old (kids can crawl through the hollow ones). Also keep an eye out for Roosevelt elk grazing in Elk Meadow. There are coastal trails too: discover star fish and anemones with guided tidepool walks.
More info: www.nps.gov/redw/index.htm
A ranch holiday is a great family option. Live like cowboys and wranglers for a week or so in the Rocky Mountains, riding trails, herding cattle, fishing for trout and falling for the vast, wide open terrain. Many ranches cater for all riding abilities, and offer other activities if you don't take to it straight away. While you're there, go on a ghost-town tour of abandoned mining communities – spooky, and you might even find some neglected sapphires.

The FIFA international break is beginning to influence the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matchup between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Bayern Munich.
Robert Lewandowski suffered a ligament stretch in his right knee, which has him out for four weeks, which means he'll miss the Bavarian club's two fixtures against Les Parisiens.
Meanwhile, Marco Verratti will undergo medical exams to determine the severity of his thigh injury and whether it will cause him to miss at least the first-leg. Furthermore, Alessandro Florenzi has picked up an injury while on international duty as he dealt with muscle fatigue.
Then there's Abdou Diallo, who's currently playing for Senegal and is another PSG player who will be dealing with an injury. According to Wiwsport, the 24-year-old wasn't on the squad that would take on Eswatini. The media outlet reveals that the defender is dealing with "physical problems."
Diallo will head to Paris, and the club will have to perform further medical evaluations to determine what's wrong with Diallo. The club will be hopeful that it's nothing serious and hope he'll be ready for their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. Abd

Robbie Neilson urges Hearts to 'stick together' after four games without a win
Under-fire Robbie Neilson insists Hearts' current slump must be placed in perspective.
The Jambos boss has been heavily criticised by sections of the team's support after a run of four cinch Premiership games without a win, the latest a 2-1 defeat away to St Johnstone.
While Neilson admits they have not been good enough in suffering back-to-back league defeats against the bottom two of Dundee and St Johnstone, he stressed that Hearts – third in the league and in the last eight of the Scottish Cup – are still in a good position overall despite their recent form loss.
"I have to look at the bigger picture," he said. "We came up from the Championship and we are a big club and are expected to win but we are still building as a team.
"Two years ago we were bottom of the league and had only won four games, now we're sitting clear in third place.
"There's massive negativity because we lost last week and this week but we're going to lose games. As a club, we have to stick together and push forward and try to cement that third place.
"We know we will have ups and downs. We aren't going to go full level the whole time so when we go into these dips, it's about how quickly we come out of them. That's where we are at the moment."
St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson believes his relegation-threatened side are ready to enjoy a strong finish to the season after they continued their upturn in form with victory over the Jambos.
After a run of 10 defeats in a row, Saints appear to have turned the corner with two wins and three draws in their last six games.
Davidson, whose side are now just four points behind 10th-place Ross County ahead of next Saturday's meeting between the teams, believes his January transfer business is bearing fruit.
"I believe in the players and I've seen this form coming," he said. "They've proved before that they're a good team. They lost belief in November and December but the new players have come in and helped them.
"The performances have been coming and I'll be looking for us to repeat this next Saturday. If we can keep performing like we did against Hearts, I'll be a happy man because we'll climb the league.
"Saturday was probably the first time I've had to leave players out in my tenure here and hopefully we get two or three more back for next Saturday."

This is a discussion about an item for a future Grouper release.
Due to the increased capabilities of Grouper (v2.5+) to support Access governance processes like attestation, in addition to lifecycle dimensions like Object Types, Services in the UI, enabled/disabled dates and visualization UI there are gaps in the functionality of the system to express the "general state" of a service to a "service owner" in a way to help them manage these characteristics of their service. Give that all of these individual characteristics need to be managed, and that they often also have interactions between them, as well as have impact across the distributed access control it becomes a bit complex for most service owners and general users to be able to understand the current state of the Service. The following additions to Grouper should help improve the management of these characteristics and hopefully start to form a set of governance model tools in general.
- Attestation interacting with Object Types
The way an Object is manage in Grouper depends on several characteristics of the object. However the most fundamental of those is the Object type. All Object type values do require the same maintenance and management processes. Rather, the interval, formality of the process, and likely the individual(s)/group(s) that are involved in those processes vary by type and usage. So a "default" makes sense, but flexibility (down to the object in question) is also required.- General examples:
- A "System of Record" group (or folder) in Grouper likely requires only automated synchronization on a frequent and regular basis. However it may also be desired to have an "independent" (possibly human based) review of the process during critical points in the calendar year, or when substantial changes occur in the data set.
- A "Reference" group, of "Basis" group may only be maintained by humans, and could be institutionally important enough to warrant that any changes requires multiple people/groups to agree before an effective change in the groups definition is permitted.
- While other "Reference" group, of "Basis" group may only be maintained by humans, might not be as institutionally important and thus not require as formal, frequent or multi-approver models for governance.
- General examples:
- Services interacting with Object types.
The current model:
To identify and manage services in Grouper is a Grouper attribute (type = service) and then a set of folders are marked as being part of that service by attaching the attribute to them.
While that is somewhat helpful to define the "things in Grouper that are part of a service" it is currently not possible to intersect that concept with the additional governance characteristics like: Object type, attestation, and enabled/disabled dates. - Enable/Disable interacting with Object Types/Services
- The UI currently does not:
- surface Enable/Disable information to the surface for the users
- provide any way to view "en masse" this characteristic much less a way to find "upcoming(future)", "recent(near past)", nor specific windows(arbitrary time slices) views across Objects in the system
- Grouper does not currently provide:
- Global controls for "auto disable" (by Object Type/Service) on a schedule specific to the Object Type(general)/Service( more specific)/Object( most specific ) configuration
- "re-enable" processes from recent (AKA: "undo events"),
- ad hoc (AKA: "user controlled time slices") with any context (folder, group, Service, etc...)
- The UI currently does not:
- Visualization interacting with "all the above"
- The ability to capture more meta data and to be able to "attest" a Visualization is also needed to verify the meta state of "group math" over time as well.
- Being able to auto trigger, or at least know when to re-verify the "group math" due to changes in the graph is also desired.
In an attempt to address some of these issues this set of features are envisioned:
- By Service context (AKA: attribute markers that select objects into an arbitrary set to be processed as a logical unit)
- Note: It is expected that some objects would be in more than one context/set. And how they would need to be evaluated may be different for each set.
Example: Service "A" may require all manually maintained reference groups to be reviewed every 10 days. And might become dependent upon a Reference group that has Attestation set to be reviewed every 50 days. That is the kind of discrepancies that should be surfaced with this kind of a governance review process.
- Note: It is expected that some objects would be in more than one context/set. And how they would need to be evaluated may be different for each set.
- A way to see (in the UI) and document the current state (a serialized report) a "summary of the context" for the following:
- Identify groups by raw (single value) type(s) : <type> Count=N
- Including identify groups without any type. : "NON_TYPED" Count=N
- Identify groups by type value combinations : "ref,readonly,service" Count=N
- Identify sets of groups/Memberships by attestation lifecycle (Due in the next N days, Was attested in the previous NN days, Past due by NNN days, etc...)
- Identify sets of groups/Memberships by enabled/disabled lifecycle (will be enabled/disabled in the next N days, Was enabled/disabled in the previous NN days)
optionally include other meta data about the objects found (custom attributes) - Most recent attestation date
- Next attestation due date
- Most recent date when each identified group's membership list was updated
- Most recent date when privileges were updated (by identified object)
- Most recent date when privileged Memberships were last updated
- Ability to "ignore"(do not use/show) meta data about objects by type in a report selection/document.
Example#1: For a given Service report it would likely not be useful to include/"count"/"consider" when a System of Record group change updated a manually maintained Reference group.
Example#2: For a System of Record report it might be required to include/"count"/"consider" the details for type="readonly,basis,ref" groups.
- The configuration of a "UI/report" state should be stored in a reusable way to that the user does not need to "configure before using" the feature.
Suggest a "set of sets" attributes that are assigned to the Service attribute marker. To allow more than one report option per context to be selected/scheduled. - Ability to schedule a "time based interval" for auto producing such reports with email notifications to a configured set of people for review.
- Ability to manually request/trigger producing such reports with email notifications to a configured set of people for review.
NOTE: Some of these could also be applied directly at a group (type=policy, etc...) context too. Specifically with respect to Memberships Attestation, "Enable/Disable dates", custom attribute viewing/reporting.

If you've been starving for good old-fashioned hard rock, the Treatment has your number. The British band has been building its reputation for more than a decade, delivering in-yer-face guitar riffs and solos that echo Def Leppard and AC/DC. Their latest, Waiting for Good Luck, features guitarists Tagore Grey and his brother, Tao.
We asked Tagore to break down the Treatment's relentless riffage.
You've come up with a million great riffs. What's your secret?
The most important thing for a great riff is that it hits hard and is something the listener can easily remember. Some of rock's greatest riffs are the simplest – the Stones, AC/DC, and Deep Purple are good examples – but writing something simple is harder than you think!
One key aspect is you don't overplay.
Leaving space for the chords to ring is very important to us. Some bands like to use a lot of chords and breakdowns in their songs, but we prefer a simpler approach. We're not fast, technical players; we are a band that likes to groove. Nothing sounds better than big chords ringing out at high volume on a big stage.
What, do you think, makes a great solo?
I have always preferred guitar solos with melody – something you can easily hum or whistle. Brian May is an expert at this. Songs like "Killer Queen" or "Bohemian Rhapsody" have such catchy melodies that they're almost a vocal part. I'm not a big fan of the shredders; I'm far more rooted in the Angus Young and Paul Kossoff school of guitar playing.
Who are your main influences?
Angus is the reason I picked up the guitar, and has been a massive influence on me; I also like Billy Gibbons and Billy Duffy of the Cult. They all have really great feel, but in all honestly, my style comes from my manager, Laurie Mansworth, who played in two cult British bands – More and Airrace. We've been playing guitar together since I joined the Treatment at 15. Laurie is a very experienced guitar player and has toured with AC/DC, Queen, and Foreigner. He has spent a lot of time jamming with me over the years and helped me develop.
How do you divide up guitar parts with your brother?
It varies from song to song; I'm older, so he gets the parts I don't want to play (laughs). Usually, we play different variations of the same chords, but sometimes playing unison parts sounds just as good. Regarding solos, I do the majority, but Tao is fast on my heels at the moment. I could be overthrown (laughs)!
Which guitars, amps, and pedals did you use in the studio?
I'm a big fan of early-'70s Master Volume Marshalls and JTM 45s. There's something about a Marshall you just can't beat; they've got a rawness and tone that cuts through everything. I use four 4×12 cabs with a mix of Celestion Greenback and Vintage 30 speakers. I use a Blue Note boost pedal for solos, and that's about it.
My favorite guitar at the moment is my three-pickup black Les Paul Custom. I also have an R8 I really love, but next on my list is a Gretsch Brian Setzer.
Do you use the same rig in concert?
I use the exact same rig onstage. There's no real trick to our sound – massive guitars live, and there's nothing like a Marshall through a big PA.
What does Kevin Shirley, who has worked with Black Crowes, Rush, Aerosmith, and Iron Maiden, do to a mix that brings that patented hard-rock sound?
Kevin knew exactly how to mix our music. Laurie our manager, who produces the band, also worked us mercilessly in pre-production for four months. He gets credit for the fact we were well-rehearsed and the songs sounded great before they left the studio. Kevin gave it the final polish and put the cherry on the cake! It was a great team effort.
The Treatment has opened for Kiss, Thin Lizzy, and Mötley Crüe. How do you win an audience in a brief amount of time?
We're well-rehearsed and work on the song order until we feel the set is running right. Getting the pace of the set is really important because you don't want any dull spots. Once we're rehearsed, we go out and try our best to deliver a high-energy show. It's really important to connect with the audience from the very first note. We also try to meet as many people as possible after the show – that's always a great bonding process.

Bounded Community: Designing and Facilitating Learning Communities in Formal Courses
Learning communities can emerge spontaneously when people find common learning goals and pursue projects and tasks together in pursuit of those goals. Bounded learning communities (BLCs) are groups that form within a structured teaching or training setting, typically a course. Unlike spontaneous communities, BLCs develop in direct response to guidance provided by an instructor, supported by a cumulative resource base. This article presents strategies that help learning communities develop within bounded frameworks, particularly online environments. Seven distinguishing features of learning communities are presented. When developing supports for BLCs, teachers should consider their developmental arc, from initial acquaintance and trust-building, through project work and skill development, and concluding with wind-down and dissolution of the community. Teachers contribute to BLCs by establishing a sense of teaching presence, including an atmosphere of trust and reciprocal concern. The article concludes with a discussion of assessment issues and the need for continuing research.
A version of this paper was presented at the meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), San Diego, April 2004. Please send inquiries to Brent G. Wilson (firstname.lastname@example.com). [Additional contact information: Brent's phone: 303-556-4363; fax 303-556-4479]

(1) Steven Mithen, The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind and Body, Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 2005.Taken together they cover music, drawing and painting (on rock), and literature and cover periods from human pre-history, through the emergence of modern man, to contemporary culture and society.
(2) James L. Pearson, Shamanism and the Ancient Mind: A Cognitive Approach to Archaeology, AltaMira Press, 2002.
David Sloan Wilson, Darwin's Cathedral: Evolution, Religion, and the Nature of Society, University of Chicago Press, 2002.
(3) Franco Moretti, Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for a Literary History, Verso, 2005.
Jonathan Gottschall and David Sloan Wilson, eds. The Literary Animal: Evolution and the Nature of Narrative, Northwestern University Press, 2005.
The first essay looks at Steven Mithin's book about music and language while the second considers two books, Shamanism and the Ancient Mind, which is about cave art and psychedelic drugs, and Darwin's Cathedral, which is about religion and society. The third considers two books as well. One is an anthology of essays on Darwinian literary criticism, The Literary Animal, while the other is slim monograph about evolutionary processes at work in literary culture, Moretti's Graphs, Maps, Trees.
I have placed Mithin's Neanderthals first because it is about music, which I have come to treat as my conceptual toucstone to the emergence of human culture. Mithen regards it as fundamental as well. After reviewing Mithen's work I offer extentions to the work I began in Beethoven's Anvil: Music in Mind and Culture (2001), giving particular attention to group intentionality, and using a discussion of symbols and norms to connect with Mithen"s discussion of a 400,000 year old site at Bilzingsleben.
Then I move to a discussion of visual art and altered states of consciousness in Shamanism and the Ancient Mind and the group-building function of religious belief in Darwin's Cathedral, from the noumenal to the institutional. Pearson is exploring the origin of the thoughts, feelings, and symbols that are the basis of the social institutions that Wilson investigates in a number of societies, including Protestant Christians in Early Modenr Geneva, the Nuer, contemporary Bali, and Korean Christian communities in contemporary Texas. Thus Pearson's and Wilson's rather different discussions complement one another.
I return to my home discipline, literature, in the last piece. By and large I am skeptical of the work on display in The Literary Animal. Though I do have some reservations about the evolutionary psychology, my deepest reservations are for its application to literature. On the evidence of the essays in this volume, it simply isn't very interesting. In contrast, Moretti's more direct use of evolutionary ideas is more interesting. As his title suggests, he is interested in the historical evolution at work in literary culture rather than using literature as a vehicle for examining a biologically-given human nature.
