The Difference Between IgE and IgG Responses and Tests Explained
With food allergy prevalence and awareness on the rise, many people now wonder if they have food allergies and whether they should avoid certain foods for the sake of their health. Several tests can be done to detect or narrow down potential food allergens in a person's diet. Two important diagnostic tools that are often used in the detection of food allergies and sensitivities are IgE and IgG blood testing.
IgE and IgA refer to immunoglobulins or "antibodies" and are two of the five classes of antibodies. These antibodies are produced by our bodies in an immune system response to things we have come into contact with that the body recognizes as foreign (also called antigens), such as viral cells and bacteria. These antibodies are also able to respond to other foreign matter including pollen, dust, dander and foods. Antibodies work to help the body fight against "invaders."
What is IgE?
IgE, or immunoglobulin E, responses occur when a foreign substance enters the body by way of inhalation or ingestion of food in most cases. The IgE antibodies are most often associated with allergies. IgE allergies can cause serious symptoms including swelling, hives and difficulty breathing, and symptoms usually appear immediately. In some severe cases, IgE reactions can result in anaphylactic shock.
An IgE test is frequently performed as an initial screening procedure to detect the presence of allergies and can be done by skin prick or patch testing. This test measures how much IgE is present in a person's blood. These antibodies are also present in the mucous membranes, lungs and skin.
IgE reactions can be treated with medications that block histamines from being released as well as avoidance of trigger foods and/or substances.
A classic allergic IgE response (Type I) occurs when a person eats a food they are allergic to. For example, when someone with a peanut allergy eats peanut, B cells in the body are exposed to the peanut allergen. These B cells then begin making IgE antibodies to bind to the allergen.
Once exposed to an allergen, IgE antibodies are able to attach to mast cells, where the antibodies wait until the next exposure to the allergen. When a person comes into contact with the same allergen again, the IgE antibodies encourage the mast cells to send out histamine and other compounds. These compounds cause symptoms most commonly associated with allergy-like inflammation and itching.
More About IgG
Antibodies associated with immunoglobulin G offer long-term resistance to infections and have a longer half-life (approximately 28 days) than IgE antibodies. With IgG allergic responses (Type III), symptoms may not occur until hours or days after a trigger food is consumed. These antibodies lead to inflammatory processes and are not associated with the release of histamines. IgG allergic or food-sensitive reactions can cause symptoms ranging from nausea and headache to hyperactivity, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, Crohn's Disease and excessive gas. The severity and degree of symptoms may vary depending on factors such as the genetic makeup of the person as well as the amount of repeat exposure to a certain allergen.
Although, with an IgG test, it can be difficult to pinpoint which food(s) cause problems due to a delayed appearance, an IgG test can help to narrow down the prospects.
IgG allergies are also sometimes called delayed food allergies and are often associated with digestive problems including leaky gut. Leaky gut syndrome is associated with conditions like celiac disease. When food particles enter into the bloodstream in a person who has a leaky gut, the body has an immune response and can create antibodies to fight the perceived invader. This process can contribute to the weakening of a taxed immune system.
IgG food allergies are best treated by complete elimination of problem foods from the diet.
It is important to note that with blood and skin food allergy tests, false positives and negatives can occur. A detailed oral medical history may be beneficial to have on hand to further help identify allergens when meeting with a doctor to discuss potential food allergies or sensitivities you may have.

Arlöv (Sweden)
Arlöv refinery (Sweden)
The plant in Arlöv in southern Sweden is one of Nordic Sugar's two sugar refineries which produce specialities. When Arlöv was commissioned in 1869 it was a combined refinery and sugar beet processing plant. But the last beet campaign with its own beet processing took place as long ago as 1958. Nordic Sugar Arlöv has specialised since then in processing raw sugar supplied from the Örtofta plant. A large number of sugar specialities are produced in Arlöv. Most is sold in the retail sector under the DanSukker brand. Liquid sugar is produced in close co-operation with the clients with specifications which satisfy their precise needs. The plant has a workforce of around 167.

At around 3:45 this afternoon, the 3 Stooges (my apologies to the original Moe, Larry, and Curly) working at the Contemporary's monorail station only let on about fifteen people, since that number of passengers exited the monorail. What's wrong? They failed to walk the length of the monorail to see that only two people were in the first car and standing room was available in the next car. Forty guests could easily have fit in the first two cars but the three lazy bones clustered around the center and rear of the station and only did a head count of those who exited instead of examining to available room in each car. (note: the wait line was long, to be sure). Several guests brought this to their immediate attention but the three yo yos just responded as if they were deer caught in headlights. Duh.

Note that the amount that is going to put Cisco, about twice the rating AppDynamics for the last round of funding held in November 2015. In that time, the company was worth $ 1.9 billion. In the AppDynamics offer Cisco described as «irresistible».
After absorbing AppDynamics will become part of unit Internet of Things and Applications Unit. By the way, this same unit is the other major acquisition Cisco company Jasper, bought about a year ago for $ 1.4 billion. The completion of the current transaction is expected in April.

There's a new social network that is promising something Facebook can't, yet: immortality. This system is designed to live on after you pass away, but it won't really be you. It's an artificial intelligence (AI) version of you.
This AI system would scan your Facebook posts, Instagram pictures, tweets and shares to gather information on your personality, likes, dislikes and hobbies. Then the Eter9 social network would compile all of this information to create "your" profile that could continue posting things online just as you would.
If this sounds scary, try not to panic because the Eter9 social network is just the latest in a long string of pushes by social media to create AI systems that will last long after you're gone.
Facebook and Google are both building thinking computers, and they're teaching them to do some very human things.
Facebook's artificial intelligence, or AI, can paint - well technically, it can recreate images it "sees" and the reproductions are so good that humans are thinking they're looking at the real deal over 40% of the time. Both Google's and Facebook's neural computers can recognize the spoken word, translate between two languages and even pick out faces, cars and other objects in pictures.
Google knows that there is still so much to learn about these AI networks.
The team said in an official blog post, "Artificial Neural Networks have spurred remarkable recent progress in image classification and speech recognition. But even though these are very useful tools based on well-known mathematical methods, we actually understand surprisingly little of why certain models work and others don't."
This means that AI is still at the very beginning of its long, fruitful life, even as its creators die around it. The systems that are needed to carry out this type of technology are being developed every day and full-fledged artificial intelligence might become a reality sooner than you think.
What do you think about AI? Is it something worth exploring or are humans fiddling with death in a way that no one should?
Tell me what you think by leaving a comment below.

#TONYCANYOUHEARME - Bring Back the Sound Design Awards
Wednesday // January 13, 2016
Imagine going to a show expecting a full production, only to be met by silence. No voices, no music, no sound effects – just silence. Of course the acting, costumes, lights, and stage design would all be amazing, but would the full experience be as enjoyable? I would think not – Sound design is an integral part of a show's experience and artistry.
So this begs the question – why would sound design not be recognized for its excellence in the same way as scenery and lighting design?
Back in June 2014, the Tony Award Administration Committee decided to remove the categories of Best Sound Design of a Play and Best Sound Design of a Musical from their awards roster, starting in the 2014-2015 season. Their decision was met with backlash all throughout the theatre community.
When the categories were first introduced in 2008, Howard Sherman spoke on behalf of the American Theatre Wing stating, "This is not an award for placing a microphone somewhere. It's about the creation of an aural environment that impacts our relationship to a production, just like any other design."
Since the award for Sound Design was introduced back in 2008, sound design has evolved dramatically – and not just in the theatre community. It is an essential element to any production, and involves a great deal of skill and creativity. Sound Designers are an important part of a production team and their contributions cannot be ignored or dismissed.
In response to the Committee's decision, sound designer John Gromada (nominated for a Tony Award for Best Sound Design of a Play in 2013) started an online petition to reverse the ruling. Unfortunately, this petition ended just shy of the 35,000 signatures needed on December 31st, 2015.
To date, many advocates are still trying to over rule this poor decision, and have been showing their support on social media by including the campaign name #tonycanyouhearme. Let's hope 2016 will be the year recognition served once again. Help spread the word.

I am probably looking to go alaminum seen as carbon are more fragile.
This isn't true.
I'm amazed you managed to snap an aluminium steerer as well (very glad you managed to stop before anything catastrophic happened!). Out of curiosity, have you got a picture of the snapped tube?
I don't suppose yours is a 2014 model, these were recalled for snapping steerers http://road.cc/content/news/120915-scott-recalls-8000-speedster-bikes
If your bikes serial number is mentioned there, then I'd try your luck going to a Scott dealer and saying you've bought the bike back for the recall and you want the fork changed! If not, they might at least be able to source a replacement fork (though how much it'll cost I don't know).
PlanetX have lots of forks at reasonable prices https://www.planetx.co.uk/c/q/components/forks-and-shocks?sort=price-asc

namibia CLICK & TRAVEL is based in Swakopmund, Namibia. Birgit Garny and Nina Holtrup combine not only a close friendship, but also the dream of owning a tour company for travel to Namibia. With namibia CLICK & TRAVEL this dream came true. Young, fresh and full of energy they provide exceptional personal service. With their years of experience in tourism, and their passion to this country will ensure, not only a memorable but a perfect holiday, that will go beyond any travelers expectations.
Behind the Scenes at namibia CLICK & TRAVEL... you will find….
Birgit - a born and bred Namibian.
After her IT Studies in South Africa, she returned back to her home town Swakopmund, where she started working in the Tourism Industry. With now over 10 years of professional experience in organising tours and incentives, she is a veteran in Namibia's tourism industry. With her attention to detail and her love to organise she will tailor-make the perfect holiday itinerary to suit your style, budget and need. Together with her husband René and their two children, Noah and Danielle, Birgit enjoys her life in Swakopmund and exploring southern Africa to the fullest.
Nina – Nina was born in Werne / Westfalen in Germany. Already during her business studies she was afflicted by a bad case of the travel bug, dreaming of faraway places and adventure. Apart from lengthy stays in New Zealand, Australia and Mexico, holiday travels have always been a major part of Nina's life. After completing her studies and working for the online hotel booking service hotel.de , Nina and her husband Björn could finally realize their dream of emigrating.
Why Namiba ? No idea! It must have been intuition though, as she soon lost her heart to this country. Besides her work with a local travel agent, Nina undertook endless excursions, camping tours and did some extensive traveling with family and friends throughout Namibia and its neighboring countries, thereby getting to know these regions like the back of her hand.
Nina's life in Namibia has by now been enriched by her three daughters – Anna, Lea and Mara –
as well as their two Great Danes – Otto and Ennie - , who form an integral part of the namibia CLICK & TRAVEL offices and will be the first to greet you, should you ever have the opportunity to visit us.
Désirée ("Desi") joined the namibia CLICK & TRAVEL family at the end of 2015. Desi keeps us on our toes with her snappy remarks from her very own " boss's corner " and makes the best coffee in the office, without which no constructive action is possible at namibia CLICK & TRAVEL in the mornings. Her big passion – besides working and champagne binges with us – are her furry family. Desi's favorite leisure place is on the back of her – equally snappy and quick-witted – horse, Rico. Her canine soul-mate Kinau does not leave her side – ever, even when horse-riding – and also feels very much at home at our offices, passing time with his best friend Otto and working on his relationship with Ennie – it's complicated… . With huge enthusiasm and adventure spirit Desi now takes advantage of the opportunity to explore her homeland from the tourism point of view. We are very glad of the active support from our namibian youngster.
Kerstin (now the newest member of the family) joined our Team in the beginning of 2017. Being a bit of a mix breed, Kerstin was born in Austria but raised in Namibia. After her studies at the Varsity College in Cape Town, with a Diploma in Travel & Tourism, it was her dream to travel the World and become a Stewardess, which she fulfilled at Qatar Airways. She then returned home and immediately took a liking towards the Namibian Tourism Industry. Being a mom to two very active boys Alec and Liam, she keeps us entertained with their adventurous stories. Her favourite place in Namibia is the Beach at Pelican point, which she loves to visit with her husband Sven and their two little rascals.
Holidays off the shelf? No thank you! namibia CLICK & TRAVEL is not just any travel portal in the jungle of tour operators. Behind the name stand, Birgit Garny and Nina Holtrup, and we are proud to be able to call Namibia our home. Instead of a tour off the shelf, we guarantee you an individual counseling with the necessary know-how in planning and organization and with a great thirst for adventure and love to this country. We think very little of crowded destinations and scheduled tours and rather work together with you to plan your trip the way YOU want it.
Our office is located in Swakopmund. Here we do not only have the privilege to live in the Jewel of Namibia, but also have the advantage of being right in the middle of the action / happenings. We maintain a friendly relationship with the lodges and service providers and can say that we have visited most of the accommodations that we offer and have taken part in most of the activities. We will be delighted to share our experience with you and provide you with insider tips to make your trip an unforgettable experience.
To book directly will come cheaper? Absolutely NOT! Our rates are the same or even lower than the rates that can be obtained from a direct booking, the only exception would be for camping safaris (refer under "Home"), which we do charge a booking fee. As an online tour operator, we deliver customized tours directly to you as a traveler without going through other travel agents and tour operators. This guarantees not only a price advantage, but also the advice and first-hand information. We don't agree to packaged prices, and thus provide you with an itemized costing.

We love Namibia, its endless horizons, wildlife and unlimited possibilities! Let yourself be captivated by this stunning country. >>Contact us now for a quotation!
Listed below is an overview on the steps involved from the day you give us the go ahead for your booking until the start of your trip and the conditions that apply accordingly:

Resubmit affidavits by march 23: SC to Noida authority
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Noida authority to resubmit affidavits regarding the relocation plans of banks and nursing homes, which are facing sealing, by March 23. Vinod Rajput reports.india Updated: Mar 16, 2012 23:18 IST
The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Noida authority to resubmit affidavits regarding the relocation plans of banks and nursing homes, which are facing sealing, by March 23.
The apex court has postponed the hearing to March 23 for final verdict.
It had earlier ordered the authority to submit the affidavits by March 12. But the authority needed more time as the banks and nursing homes in question had not submitted the affidavits. The authority also needs time to ascertain whether the banks, which did not file the affidavits then have already shifted or not abided by the order.
"The apex court has asked us to resubmit a detailed report on shifting plans of banks and nursing homes," said SK Dwivedi, CEO, Noida authority.
The authority, meanwhile, said sealing drive against commercial units, banks and nursing homes in non-confirming areas of the city would resume from Monday.
In its earlier drives, the authority had sealed two commercial establishments in sectors 19 and 20. It had also inspected banks in sectors 12, 19, 20, 21, and 56, which had already relocated to commercial areas.
The sealing drive was halted on Friday due to the court hearing and Noida Employees' Association elections. "But sealing in non-confirming areas would resume from Monday," said an official, requesting anonymity.
However, other stakeholders say the authority misled the court about the affidavits.
"If the last date of filing affidavits for the authority was March 12, then why did it delay? This case may linger on due to the authority's lethargic functioning and we will suffer," said Rohit Sapra, general secretary, Bank Premises Association.

The March of Hope.(Photo by: SOPHIE SCHOR)
Hope keeps us warm
By SOPHIE SCHOR
For three weeks, women marched throughout the country demanding a return to diplomatic negotiations and an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It was a hot 32°, yet the warmth I felt was coming not from the desert heat, but rather from the company I was with. I was surrounded by thousands of women clapping in unison. Hope rose in waves around us.
Women Wage Peace, an Israeli women's peace movement founded in November 2014, organized a massive event called the March of Hope, in which, for three weeks, women marched throughout the country demanding a return to diplomatic negotiations and an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Beginning this Succot in Rosh Hanikra near the Lebanese border, 20 women walked 250 km. to Jerusalem. En route to the capital, they met with different communities and organized solidarity marches, and they were joined by hundreds of people for different legs of the journey. The march culminated on October 19 as thousands of women wearing white wound their way through the streets of Jerusalem from the Supreme Court to the Prime Minister's Residence.
The organizers claim that the crowd reached 20,000 people.
Women Wage Peace was founded two years ago, after the 2014 war in Gaza.
Women from around Israel organized around the belief that the cycle of violence must end. The organizers claimed that women's voices are valuable, but ignored. They believe women should be included in diplomatic negotiations.
They believe women possess the power to transform a deadlocked conflict into one that can be resolved, and seek to reconnect fractured groups in Israeli society by connecting women to each other based on communal female experiences.
The one thing they highlight again and again is that everyone wants the same thing: peace.
In their attempt to unite Israeli society over this topic the group does not provide any specific details of what "peace" might entail, which some may target as a weakness.
I originally had my reservations about this movement: I had doubts concerning their a-politicism, as everything here is political and the lack of a defined solution seemed impractical.
However, the ambiguity is working.
In the past two years, more than 10,000 women from around the country have joined the movement. On the morning of October 19, I joined as well.
The morning of the march, I stumbled bleary-eyed at 7 a.m. to the bus to head to the Dead Sea. The joy was contagious as we made our way through the South. We snaked through back roads and were flagged down by ladies in white standing at junctions waiting to board. Women from the entire country were gathering, from Eilat to Umm el-Fahm. When we arrived, there were buses as far as the eye could see. Women disembarked and joined the ever-growing crowd, being welcomed in Arabic, Hebrew and English: "From Nablus! From Tel Aviv! From Ramallah! From Jerusalem! From Haifa! From Kalkilya! From Eilat! From Afula! From Hebron! From Ashkelon! From Jenin!" shouted the organizers. "Welcome!" The choice of location was important: Qasr el-Yahud is a pilgrimage site holy to the three monotheistic religions, but it is located in Area C, so both Palestinians from the West Bank and Israelis can go there. It is one of the rare spaces where a meeting like this could take place.
The event itself was even more unusual: 4,000 Israeli and Palestinian women marching next to the Jordan River.
The energy was palpable as Leymeh Gbowee mounted the stage. Gbowee, a Nobel Peace Laureate and leader of the women's peace movement in Liberia that succeeded in ending her country's civil war, has joined forces in solidarity with WWP. She stood there as a symbol of what could be achieved. She started chanting with the crowd: "When I say women, you say: peace! When I say peace, you say: Yes! When I say war, you say: No!" The scene was magical as we marched beside the river – thousands of women in white walking in the desert as far as the eye could see: women wearing hijabs, women wearing high heels, women with kids on their shoulders, older women carrying canes and portable chairs to sit on, young women linking arms and singing, teenagers snapping selfies. That morning was a loud declaration: there is a partner for peace.
The march continued that afternoon in Jerusalem. We began next to the Supreme Court, waved to the Knesset, blocked intersections, and as far as the eye could see, there was a wave of white.
At one point I looked back at the crowd; there was no end in sight. Women around me held tambourines, banged on drums, began chanting, created new lyrics to old peace songs. WWP has done the unimaginable: they have brought back the word "peace" to Israeli society.
The event was an affirmation that there are women from both sides who are willing to meet, march, stand together and find a solution. Hope was the word of the day.
However, their work is not over. Since the march, the women have been sitting in a succa in front of the prime minister's house. On October 31, I marched with them from their succa to the Knesset.
Hundreds of women stood outside the Knesset during the opening of the winter session, singing songs of peace and coaxing representatives to come out and join them.
The women have organized shifts to be present inside and outside the Knesset to pressure the government to put negotiations with Palestinians on the political agenda. Now, while the winter cold is starting to creep in, hope is keeping me warm.

Islamic State launched two counter-attacks on U.S.-backed fighters besieging their final shred of territory in eastern Syria on Wednesday but were beaten back without any progress, the Syrian Democratic Forces said.
The jihadists, waging a last-ditch battle in Baghouz, a collection of hamlets and farmland near the Iraqi border, dispatched suicide bombers against SDF fighters, who thwarted the attacks, the U.S.-backed force said.
Islamic State launched the second counter-attack in the afternoon, "(taking) advantage of smoke and dust over Baghouz", the SDF media office said. "Fighting is still continuing. (Islamic State) made no progress so far and were stopped."

|[CONF] Apache Jackrabbit: Jackrabbit Configuration (page edited)
|Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:58:00 GMT
Jackrabbit Configuration (JCR) edited by Jukka Zitting Page: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JCR/Jackrabbit+Configuration Changes: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/diffpagesbyversion.action?pageId=75311&originalVersion=8&revisedVersion=9 Comment: --------------------------------------------------------------------- JCR-151: Installation guide (work in progress) Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- JCR-151: Installation guide (work in progress) Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- JCR-151: Installation guide (work in progress) Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- JCR-151: Installation guide (work in progress) Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- JCR-151: Installation guide (work in progress) Content: --------------------------------------------------------------------- {toc:minLevel=2} Apache Jackrabbit needs two pieces of information to set up a runtime content repository instance: * *Repository home directory* The filesystem path of the directory containing the content repository accessed by the runtime instance of Jackrabbit. This directory usually contains all the repository content, search indexes, internal configuration, and other persistent information managed within the content repository. Note that this is not absolutely required and some persistence managers and other Jackrabbit components may well be configured to access files and even other resources (like remote databases) outside the repository home directory. A designated repository home directory is however always needed even if some components choose to not use it. Jackrabbit will automatically fill in the repository home directory with all the required files and subdirectories when the repository is first instantiated. * *Repository configuration file* The filesystem path of the repository configuration XML file. This file specifies the class names and properties of the various Jackrabbit components used to manage and access the content repository. Jackrabbit parses this configuration file and instantiates the specified components when the runtime content repository instance is created. These two configuration parameters are passed either directly to Jackrabbit when creating a repository instance or indirectly through settings for a JNDI object factory or some other component management system. For each workspace that was created, there will also be a workspace.xml file created inside the workspace home directory that will be used for the workspace - these files have to be changed, too, because the workspace-specific configuration inside repository.xml is only used as a template for new workspaces, ie. if you use the createWorkspace of the Jackrabbit API, the workspace.xml is just a copy of the Workspace element inside repository.xml. You can also manually create the workspace folder with a workspace.xml file to create a new workspace yourself (Note that depending on the persistence manager you will also have to setup a database and configure the access to it). h2. {anchor:repository} Repository configuration The repository configuration file, typically called {{repository.xml}}, specifies global options like security, versioning and clustering settings. A default workspace configuration template is also included in the repository configuration file. The exact format of this XML configuration file is defined in the following document type definition (DTD) files published by the Apache Jackrabbit project. * [-//The Apache Software Foundation//DTD Jackrabbit 1.4//EN|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/dtd/repository-1.4.dtd] * [-//The Apache Software Foundation//DTD Jackrabbit 1.2//EN|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/dtd/repository-1.2.dtd] * [-//The Apache Software Foundation//DTD Jackrabbit 1.0//EN|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/dtd/repository-1.0.dtd] All Jackrabbit 1.x versions are fully backwards compatible, so you can use a recent Jackrabbit version without having to modify your existing repository configuration. Of course you will need to make configuration changes if you want to enable new features like the data store introduced in Jackrabbit 1.4. The top-level structure of the repository configuration file is shown below. The {{<!DOCTYPE>}} declaration is optional. {code:xml} <!DOCTYPE Repository PUBLIC "-//The Apache Software Foundation//DTD Jackrabbit 1.4//EN" "http://jackrabbit.apache.org/dtd/repository-1.4.dtd"> <Repository> <FileSystem/> <Security/> <Workspaces/> <Workspace/> <Versioning/> <SearchIndex/> <!-- optional --> <Cluster/> <!-- optional, available since 1.2 --> <DataStore/> <!-- optional, available since 1.4 --> </Repository> {code} The repository configuration elements are: * {{FileSystem}}: The virtual file system used by the repository to store things like registered namespaces and node types. See the [File system configuration|#filesystem] section. * {{Security}}: Authentication and authorization configuration. See the [Security configuration|#security] section. * {{Workspaces}}: Configuration on where and how workspaces are managed. See the [Workspace configuration|#workspace] section. * {{Workspace}}: Default workspace configuration template. See the [Workspace configuration|#workspace] section. * {{Versioning}}: Configuration of the repository-wide version store. See the [Versioning configuration|#version] section. * {{SearchIndex}}: Configuration of the search index that covers the repository-wide {{/jcr:system}} content tree. See the [Search configuration|#search] section. * {{Cluster}}: Clustering configuration. See the [Cluster configuration|#cluster] section. * {{DataStore}}: Data store configuration. See the [Data store configuration|#datastore] section. See the Jackrabbit 1.4 [default configuration|^repository.xml], for an example repository configuration file. {tip} It is a good idea to place the {{repository.xml}} file _inside_ the repository home directory. This your repository and its configuration is nicely contained within a single directory tree. {tip} h3. Bean configuration Most of the entries in the configuration file are based on the following generic JavaBean configuration pattern. Such configuration specifies that the repository should use an instance of the specified class with the specified properties for the named functionality. {code:xml} <ConfigurationElement class="fully.qualified.ClassName"> <param name="property1" value="..."> <param name="property2" value="..."> <ConfigurationElement> {code} h3. Configuration variables Jackrabbit supports configuration variables of the form _$\{name\}_. These variables can be used to avoid hardcoding specific options in the configuration files. The following variables are available in all Jackrabbit versions: * {{$\{rep.home\}}}: Repository home directory. * {{$\{wsp.name\}}}: Workspace name. Only available in workspace configuration. * {{$\{wsp.home\}}}: Workspace home directory. Only available in workspace configuration. Since Jackrabbit 1.4 (see [JCR-1304|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1304]) it has been possible to use system properties or any application-specific settings as configuration variables. h2. {anchor:security} Security configuration The security configuration element is used to specify authentication and authorization settings for the repository. The structure of the security configuration element is: {code:xml} <Security appName="Jackrabbit"> <AccessManager/> <LoginModule/> <!-- optional --> </Security> {code} By default Jackrabbit uses the [Java Authentication and Authorization Service|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html] (JAAS) to authenticate users who try to access the repository. The {{appName}} parameter in the {{<Security/>}} element is used as the JAAS application name of the repository. If JAAS authentication is not available or (as is often the case) too complex to set up, Jackrabbit allows you to specify a repository-specific JAAS [LoginModule|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/security/auth/spi/LoginModule.html] that is then used for authenticating repository users. The default [SimpleLoginModule|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/security/SimpleLoginModule.html] class included in Jackrabbit implements a trivially simple authentication mechanism that accepts any username and any password as valid authentication credentials. Once a user has been authenticated, Jackrabbit will use the configured [AccessManager|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/security/AccessManager.html] to control what parts of the repository content the user is allowed to access and modify. The default [SimpleAccessManager|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/security/SimpleAccessManager.html] class included in Jackrabbit implements a trivially simple authorization mechanism that grants full read access to all users and write access to everyone except anonymous users. The slightly more advanced [SimpleJBossAccessManager|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/security/SimpleJBossAccessManager.html] class was contributed (see [JCR-650|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-650]) to Jackrabbit 1.3. This class is designed for use with the [JBoss Application Server|http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/], and it maps JBoss roles to Jackrabbit permissions. h2. {anchor:workspace} Workspace configuration A Jackrabbit repository contains one or more workspaces that are each configured in a separate {{workspace.xml}} configuration file. The {{Workspaces}} element of the repository configuration specifies where and how the workspaces are managed. The repository configuration also contains a default workspace configuration template that is used to create the {{workspace.xml}} file of a new workspace unless more specific configuration is given when the workspace is created. See the {{createWorkspace}} methods in [JackrabbitWorkspace|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/JackrabbitWorkspace.html] for more details on workspace creating workspaces. The workspace settings in the repository configuration file are: {code:xml} <Workspaces rootPath="${rep.home}/workspaces" defaultWorkspace="default" configRootPath="" maxIdleTime="0"/> <!-- optional attributes --> <Workspace/> <!-- default workspace configuration template --> {code} The following global workspace configuration options are specified in the {{Workspaces}} element: * {{rootPath}}: The native file system directory for workspaces. A subdirectory is automatically created for each workspace, and the path of that subdirectory can be used in the workspace configuration as the {{$\{wsp.path\}}} variable. * {{defaultWorkspace}}: Name of the default workspace. This workspace is automatically created when the repository is first started. * {{configRootPath}}: (optional) By default the configuration of each workspace is stored in a {{workspace.xml}} file within the workspace directory within the {{rootPath}} directory. If this option is specified, then the workspace configuration files are stored within the specified path in the virtual file system (see above) configured for the repository. * {{maxIdleTime}}: (optional) By default Jackrabbit only releases resources associated with an opened workspace when the entire repository is closed. This option, if specified, sets the maximum number of seconds that a workspace can remain unused before the workspace is automatically closed. The workspace configuration template as well as each {{workspace.xml}} configuration file has the following structure: {code:xml} <Workspace> <FileSystem/> <PersistenceManager/> <SearchIndex/> <!-- optional --> <ISMLocking/> <!-- optional, available since 1.4 --> </Workspace> {code} The {{FileSystem}} element specifies the virtual file system that gets passed to the configured persistence manager and search index. See the [File system configuration|#filesystem] section for details. The {{PersistenceManager}} element specifies how content in this workspace is persisted. See the [Persistence configuration|#persistence] section for details. The {{SearchIndex}} element specifies how workspace content is indexed and how search queries are handled. See the [Search configuration|#search] section for details. h2. {anchor:filesystem} File system configuration Early versions on Jackrabbit were designed to abstract their persistence mechanism using a virtual file system layer defined in the [FileSystem|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/FileSystem.html] interface. This low-level approach turned out to be insufficient, so nowadays most of the persistence abstraction is handled on a higher level. However, certain parts of Jackrabbit still use this file system abstraction to store information. A virtual file system is configured in a {{<FileSystem/>}} bean configuration element. See the main file system implementations [LocalFileSystem|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/local/LocalFileSystem.html], [DatabaseFileSystem|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/db/DatabaseFileSystem.html] (including subclasses), and [MemoryFileSystem|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/mem/MemoryFileSystem.html] for the available options. The recommended alternative is to use the LocalFileSystem implementation that simply maps abstract file system accesses to the specified directory within the native file system. The repository file system, configured inside the {{Repository}} element, is used to store registered namespaces and node types. Optionally also workspace configuration files are stored within this file system. {code:xml} <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem"> <param name="path" value="${rep.home}/repository"/> </FileSystem> {code} The versioning file system, configured inside the {{Versioning}} element, is passed to the configured versioning persistence manager. It is up to the persistence manager implementation to decide whether and how it uses the file system abstraction. {code:xml} <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem"> <param name="path" value="${rep.home}/version"/> </FileSystem> {code} The workspace file system, configured inside the {{Workspace}} element of the workspace configuration file, is passed to the configured workspace persistence manager and search index. It is up to those implementations to decide whether and how to use the file system abstraction. {code:xml} <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem"> <param name="path" value="${wsp.home}"/> </FileSystem> {code} h2. {anchor:version} Versioning configuration The Versioning configuration element specifies the virtual file system and the persistence manager used to manage the version histories of all the nodes within the content repository. The version storage is much like a normal workspace without a search index. Instead of a workspace name, the version storage is given a root directory path using the rootPath attribute. An common versioning configuration example using the LocalFileSystem and bundle DerbyPersistenceManager components is shown below. {code} <Versioning rootPath="${rep.home}/version"> <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem"> <param name="path" value="${rep.home}/version"/> </FileSystem> <PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.DerbyPersistenceManager"> <param name="url" value="jdbc:derby:${rep.home}/version/db;create=true"/> <param name="schemaObjectPrefix" value="version_"/> </PersistenceManager> </Versioning> {code} h2. {anchor:search} Search configuration TODO --------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFLUENCE INFORMATION This message is automatically generated by Confluence Unsubscribe or edit your notifications preferences http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/users/viewnotifications.action If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/administrators.action If you want more information on Confluence, or have a bug to report see http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence

Assistant Police Chief Vern Malloch said Wednesday that five "opiate overdoses" last weekend in Portland could have turned out much worse if not for the availability of Narcan, which was used to revive all of the victims.
None of the people died, something that Portland police considered "a big success," Malloch said.
Narcan, which is the brand name for Naloxone, can reverse the effects of an overdose.
"The increased availability of Narcan is really paying off," Malloch told reporters at a press conference at the city police station.
Malloch praised the news media for raising public awareness of state's drug crisis. The Portland Press Herald recently published a 10-part series, "Lost, Heroin's Killer Grip on Maine's People," which explores many facets of Maine's heroin epidemic and how it is affecting families.
Initial police reports indicated that eight people had overdosed last weekend, but Malloch corrected that figure, saying that two incidents, which he described as related to behavioral health issues, involved intentional ingestion of over-the-counter medicine.
Another incident was determined to be a medical problem, not an overdose.
Portland police said the first overdose was reported at 11:55 a.m. Sunday. The reports continued throughout the evening before ending Monday morning.
One overdose involved an inmate at the Cumberland County Jail, while another victim was at the Oxford Street Shelter, Malloch said.
"Five overdoses in such a short period is a little unusual, but sadly it is not unexpected," Malloch said.
The overdoses, which do not appear to be related, occured at 21 Chestnut St., 620 Congress St., 861 Congress St., at the shelter and at the jail. Two police officers administered the Narcan, as did a county jail worker and two friends of victims.
Portland police officers started carrying Narcan in September.
"We are fortunate that none were fatal," Malloch said. "The increased availability of Narcan and continued community outreach are certainly factors preventing deaths. Social workers, law enforcement, friends and family members of users have increased availability to Narcan and it is paying off."

69th Street. 69th Place. 69th Lane. One after the other. All on Maspeth's busy Grand Avenue. It's not rare in a borough where even longtime residents say, "This can be perplexing."
But there's a reason for this madness.
For the answers, we met up with Queens Borough Historian Jack Eichenbaum at the Queens Historical Society. He explained that prior to becoming part of New York City in 1898, Queens was made up of independent communities like Flushing and Jamaica, which he calls "gridlets." Each community had its own street names and numbering systems.
In the early 1900s, however, officials tried to create some order out of the chaos by establishing a grid system of numbered streets. So for instance, Lowery Street in Sunnyside became 40th Street, though the 7 Train stop still says both.
But as the borough kept growing, planners began imposing new streets on the existing grid, which is how 69th Place and 69th Lane were created, near 69th Street.
"In terms of the streets, which are going North-South, you are using place or lane," Eichenbaum said. "If you needed something to name the avenues with the same number, you use road or drive."
Confused yet?
Of course, then there are the Boulevards, major thoroughfares which cross streets and avenues without much rhyme or reason. To muddy the waters a bit more, some neighborhoods retained a non-numeric alphabetical street name system.
So, how is anyone not from Queens supposed to find their way through it?
Well, there's the Queens hyphen system of addresses, which can be helpful, sometimes. Take, for instance, the address of my old building, 98-01 67th Avenue. 98 stands for the closest lower numbered cross street, and 01 stands for the house number. Make sense?
At any rate, thank god for GPS, and Jack Eichenbaum, who maintains that while this all may seem confusing on a local level, on a global level, it all makes sense.
"The whole thing is logical. But in various little pockets you get in trouble," said Eichenbaum.
If you talk to most folks from Queens, they'll tell you figuring this all out is part of being from here. As one local put it, "Part of the allure of this area is getting lost."

+ What will my payment be and will they change?
- A home equity is a Line of Credit that bases its rate off of the Wall Street Prime. Therefore, the rate is set by the Federal Reserve.
- Your minimum payment will be the lesser of $50.00 or the amount needed to repay your balance with interest.
- If you withdraw additional funds during the draw period or the interest rate changes, your monthly payment may change.
- Your payments are recalculated after each draw to repay your principal balance over the remaining months of your repayment period.
- The draw period is the fixed length of time during which you can access funds from your home equity line of credit. It runs 5 years from the date your loan closes. WCCU has the option to extend the draw period beyond 5 years into the repayment period.
+ What is the repayment period?
- After your draw period ends, you'll enter the repayment period. Your access to funds will end, but you'll keep the same payment structure as in the draw period, principal -plus- interest payment tied to the variable rate.
- The 10 years remaining on the 15 year loan will be the repayment period.

Your company faces a threat, and you probably don't realize it. This threat is invited right through the front doors of most companies: it's training.
How could training be so terrible? Employers and CEOs try to find a way to get training done as efficiently as possible. Efficient training. Training that is fast, unfortunately, is the enemy of effective learning.
Traditional training makes little difference in the overall performance of employees because it is focused on time efficiency rather than effective learning for each employee.
Studies show people usually only apply about 10 to 20% of the information they receive in traditional training (Brown & Seider, 1998, p. 285). Even when people are interested in the material being taught, they just don't have the capacity to process all the new information at once.
If you want the results traditional training won't produce, it's time to take everything you know about efficient teaching and turn it on its head. Take the formula for efficient teaching and reverse it. It turns out that efficient teaching and effective learning are, in fact, directly opposed to each other.
Efficient teaching happens when a subject expert shares a lot of information in a short amount of time. It's a product of three factors: the amount of knowledge the teacher has, the amount they are able to share, and the amount of time it takes them to share it. In other words, efficient teaching relies on a
High concentration of knowledge
High volume of information transferred
Low time spent teaching
Here's how to turn traditional training on its head.
Often, employees receive corporate training in sessions, absorbing knowledge from a single, isolated source. However, people learn more in a broader social context.
Even if experts are able to answer every question in a Q&A at the end of the conference, participants tend to ask conceptual questions in such settings rather than behavior-focused questions.
Training should focus on changing behavior rather than imparting knowledge. To create new habits, training should foster conversations that harness the existing knowledge base.
2. Volume of Information transferred
When people hear a lot of information, they only retain a little of it.
Studies have shown that recall and retention increase drastically when people encounter new information in small, bitesized pieces. A 2014 study conducted by Vanderbilt University for Bitesize compared the retention in one traditional classroom with teaching the same curriculum in bitesized pieces. They found a 150% improvement in immediate recall and almost a 300% improvement in retention after one week. Similarly, they found a 240% improvement in learning French and a 400% improvement in football players learning new plays when taught using this new method.
When thinking about training, plan to give people only as much as they can process and apply immediately. Think about training like rainfall. If too much rain comes at once, the ground doesn't have the capacity to absorb all the moisture, and the water is lost as runoff.
3. Time spent teaching
Some management teams worry about losing hours of productive work time if training isn't time efficient. But this status quo mindset is wrong.
Think, instead, of training on the job. Employees need realistic contexts for applying new behaviors. Work time should become training time and training time should become work time.
Change What You Do
If you want to change the way your company trains, first change your mindset. Drill this into your head: everything that makes teaching efficient makes learning ineffective.
Rather than thinking of training as an annual or semiannual event, think of it as an ongoing process that will be most effective if it's made up of small pieces that build on each other.
Help is out there. Bitesize can help you turn ineffective training upside down by creating training with just-in-time learning that is applied in a real-life context.

'Sun Dried' Tomatoes
A successful attempt at using my dehydrator at last, after several failures. These tomatoes were yummy, and went very well in my bacon butty for breakfast this morning.
Took a trip to the market on Sunday for a big bag of tomatoes. Cut each tomato into eight wedges, and baked them at 60°C for several hours until the were ready. The time will depend on the thickness of your tomato wedges and the type of tomato. I think mine took around ten to 12 hours.

Trained To Take Trains From High-Vis Staff
(I am a contract truck driver doing short haul. This means I catch a train to where the truck is, drive it and then catch a train to the next job or home. I have a large bag of essentials and a small folding bike with me, but above all I am wearing a hi-vis jacket. I catch a LOT of trains. I have just dropped off a truck at Gatwick Airport and am standing perusing the departure board for the trains when someone comes and taps me on the shoulder.)
American Lady: "Excuse me, can you tell me where the train to Victoria goes from?"
Me: "Erm… From Platform 4 or 5, they alternate. Take the lift over there and listen to the announcements."
(I turned back and work out my own train was going in 20 minutes from Platform 7. As I was about to head there another couple approached me with the same question. I directed them, too… and the next… and the next. At one point I had a small queue. At no point did anyone question that I had a bike and bag with me. They just saw the hi-vis and made the assumption. After 15 minutes I made my escape and caught my own train.)
