I've been reliably informed by an elderly neighbour that Scotland is going to enjoy really good weather in May and June this year. In theory they should be good months weather-wise, but as that's not always the case, I'm glad to have this confirmed by neighbourly bunions!
And if today's weather is anything to go by, those bunions are on the right track! What a glorious day! So it's time to get out and about as much as possible, and from Glasgow, Mugdock Country Park is not only close at hand, but packed-full of history and things to see and do.
For me, one of the most interesting things about the Park, is that it was once home to a zoo: complete with all the wild animals you would expect to see. Lions, tigers, llamas, panthers, even Charlie the elephant: all living in the grounds around Craigend Castle and all within striking distance of Milngavie. No, I'm not joking – it really did exist! And that story, as well as the tale of the zoo's forerunner, housed in a Glasgow tenement, are at the heart of my article in this month's iScot magazine.
The zoo is gone, and perhaps the most visible evidence of the past lives of the people of this area is Mugdock Castle itself. No one knows exactly how old this once formidable stronghold is, though it must have existed at least as far back as the 14th century for a document relating to the castle – an agreement over land between the castle's owner, Sir Patrick Graham, and one Angus Hawinroyss – was signed there on the 24th of August, 1372. The castle is a dramatic ruin now: though I did see Robert the Bruce ride by recently – in the shape of actor Chris Pine and with the film crew for Outlaw King hot on his heels!
Over the years the Grahams extended their lands and the estate prospered, becoming both a centre for regular markets and fairs, and also the seat of the Barony court, where 'justice' would be meted out. If you were tried and found guilty in the Courthall of the castle what happened next? Where would be your fate be determined? Read on!
During the Dark Ages and Medieval times Mugdock Loch was far larger and deeper than it is today. On a small island, only a few hundred yards from the castle, was the Moot Hill, or Hill of Judgement. It was on this spot that the unfortunate criminal would hear his sentence: seldom a happy one! In many cases it would be straight back across the causeway and over to the grimly named Gallowhill for execution.
Next to Gallowhill was the equally fearsome Drowning Pond, where unfortunate women accused of witchcraft were forcibly held under water: if you drowned you were innocent, if you survived you were guilty and burned at the stake. A lose-lose situation if ever there was one! Walk round the pond today and listen for the ghostly laments of its victims.
From a war much nearer our own time are the silent remains of the Mugdock anti-aircraft gunsite built in 1942 in the aftermath of the Clydebank Blitz. This gun emplacement was part of a series of anti-aircraft batteries constructed around the Clyde Basin to protect the heavy industries in and around Glasgow. The nearby Nissen huts housed the army personnel stationed to man the guns, complete with showers and sleeping accommodation.
But to go back to Mugdock Castle. Here's a question: what's the connection between Mugdock Castle and the actor Michael Gambon? The answer: Gambon starred as heroic young Gavin Ker of Slitrig, in the 1960s/70s television series The Borderers, which was filmed at Mugdock Castle. It was an exciting historical drama, set in the 16th century, which told the tale of the Warden of the Middle March (Iain Cuthbertson) and his family during the troubled and violent times of the Border Reivers. The Warden's dashing young nephew, Gavin Ker, fought to protect his family and remain a decent man. It was stirring stuff!
There's still plenty of wildlife in the Park, but fear not – most of it is on a much smaller scale than those wild things in the zoo! So as you take that stroll in the park on a peaceful afternoon, stop for a moment and think about all that's happened around you. You'll be surprised just how rich and varied the past has been!

Music duo Daft Punk calls it quits after 28 years
NEW YORK - Grammy-winning electronic music pioneers Daft Punk have announced that they are breaking up after 28 years.
The helmet-wearing French duo shared the news Monday in an 8-minute video called "Epilogue." Kathryn Frazier, the band's longtime publicist, confirmed the break up for The Associated Press.
Daft Punk, comprised of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, have had major success over the years, winning six Grammy Awards and launching international hits with "One More Time," "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Get Lucky."
Bangalter and de Homem-Christo met at a Paris school in 1987. Prior to Daft Punk, they formed an indie rock band named Darling.
RELATED: 2021 Grammy Awards postponed amid surge of COVID-19 cases, deaths in LA County
They officially formed Daft Punk in 1993, and the helmeted, mute and mysterious musicians released their debut album, "Homework," 1997. They first found success with the international hit "Da Funk," which topped the Billboard dance charts and earned them their first Grammy nomination. A second No. 1 hit and Grammy nomination followed with "Around the World."
Daft Punk spent time touring around the world and reached greater heights with their sophomore album, 2001's "Discovery." It included the infectious smash "One More Time" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," which Kanye West famously flipped into his own hit "Stronger," released in 2007. It won West the best rap solo performance Grammy at the 2008 show, where West and Daft Punk performed together onstage.

A year later, a live version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" won Daft Punk the best dance recording Grammy — their first win — and their "Alive 2007" album picked up best electronic/dance album.
But it was the 2014 Grammys where Daft Punk really took the spotlight, winning album of the year for "Random Access Memories" and making history as the first electronic act to win the highest honor at the Grammys. The duo won four awards that night, including record of the year for their bombshell hit "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers.
"Random Access Memories" was regarded as a genre-bending album highlighted by its mix of live instrumentation, disco sounds, funk, rock, R&B and more. Rolling Stone ranked it No. 295 on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" last year.

Since September 11, 1972, the Gay Activist Alliance in Morris County has met at the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship every Monday, and that tradition continues. Our standard format is that doors open at 6:30 PM, with our Open Talk and other discussion groups meeting from 7:00 until 8:00-8:15. We then have an intermission for refreshments, to chat with friends, or whatever floats your boat. Our main program begins at 8:30 and typically ends between 9:30 and 9:45.
We do not charge admission unless we are hosting a specific event that has an associated cost, such as our fundraising dinner "Pastabilities" in April, or our annual performance by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. On these nights there is a fixed admission price of $10 per person.
Although we do not charge admission, we are wholly self-funded and we do have to pay for essentials such as rent, insurance, hosting this website, etc. To cover those costs we ask members to donate $5 at the front door each visit, and we ask that non-members donate $7 per visit. Of course, no one will be turned away for their inability or refusal to make a donation.
As information for this week's program gets confirmed, this event will be updated with more specific details.

Adjustment Wrench
The Adjustment Wrench included with every board order is essential for adjusting the camber / rocker of your Proteus Snowboard. With a ratcheting 12 point ¼" wrench with a CNC machined handle that extends for leverage and retracts for storage.
Snow Stopper
The Snow Stopper is made from a resilient and flexible urethane rubber that keeps snow out of your Adjustable Camber system while you ride, so you can quickly adjust the board without needing to clear snow and ice from the center. The Snow Stopper comes tethered to the board standard.
All Temp Board Wax
All boards need to be waxed before they are ridden. It is important to pick the right temperature wax for each day, but we can give you an "all temp" wax as a base to start you off.

In this day and age of social media, it's getting harder and harder for airlines to get away with bad behavior. Lose someone's luggage? You'll hear about it within minutes of them landing. Serve a bad meal? Expect that to go viral on Instagram. If your customer service isn't spot-on, you'll be sure to hear about it.
But one airline has consistently refused to bow to customer requests. Ryanair is known for the kind of service that elicits complaints. In fact there are entire websites dedicated to documenting how much people are frustrated with what happens aboard Ryanair planes. But despite complaints, Ryanair has managed to find its way to the top of Europe's airlines. Those baggage fees may seem ridiculous, but the airline is profitable for a reason.
Now with the European economy going downhill however, CEO Michael O'Leary knows that the airline can't risk to lose passengers, and he is working on making the airline, well, nicer.The man known for proposals like onboard pay toilets (you're only flying for two hours, you should be able to hold it) is now suggesting that his airline has to transform its brand; just offering crazy low fares isn't enough.
On the heels of last month's news that the airline forced a man to pay nearly $260 when he had to change his flight from Dublin to Birmingham because his entire family had died in a fire, Ryanair is now turning on the charm. According to The New York Times, that includes reducing oversized baggage and boarding card reissue fees as well as allowing a small carry-on no larger than 35 x 20 x 20 centimeters to be carried aboard flights from Dec. 1 onwards. Oh, and there will be "quiet" flights, meaning that people flying before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m. will avoid the loud in-flight announcements.
It's all in the hopes that people keep choosing Ryanair wherever they fly in Europe.
"As some of these policy changes will require website changes and handling staff retraining, we will be rolling them out over the next few months as we strive to further improve Europe's number one customer service airline," customer service director Caroline Green said.
Will it work? Only the travel social media sphere will be able to tell us.

Game Changer Insights Detail
5 big questions on innovation
Diana Stepner, VP of Innovation Partnerships & Developer Relations
Diana Stepner is the VP of Innovation Partnerships & Developer Relations at Pearson - a company which has been innovating since the Industrial Revolution. She helps business units accelerate digital innovation, drives global partnerships with startups, builds relationships with developer communities- including incubators and start ups- and runs the Pearson Catalyst for Education accelerator program. Diana's...
Full profile »
How is your team changing the game within your industry sector?
We help teams across Pearson gain insight into emerging trends - what we call developments "on the fringe." For example, over the last few years we have witnessed the consumerization of education. Students, teachers, and learners, for example, have similar expectations and behaviors in the classroom as they do outside. As a result, they crave rich digital experiences and believe learning can take place anywhere and at any time.
Acknowledging that technology is helping to drive change in education to deliver on the expectations of learners and teachers. We have been able to quickly identify and connect Pearson teams with startups - particularly through connections with incubators and accelerators (RocketSpace, 1871, 1776, MaRS and LearnLaunch). Then via Catalyst, Pearson's accelerator, we're able to build pilots collaboratively with the startups – all the while providing mentoring and insight that will help them grow and scale effectively. We're also championing the next wave of creators and makers by being involved with maker spaces where learners of all ages gain hands-on skills, whether it be in electronics, arts, science, or beyond.
What are some of the biggest impediments to innovation in your organization or industry sector?
It's human nature to gravitate towards the familiar - things that have already shown they are effective and work from a business perspective. But education is becoming increasingly consumerized, therefore, we need to deliver experiences that match the ones learners have outside of the classroom. This requires education companies to innovate more quickly, like other technology companies, while also ensuring that all products are delivering the expected outcomes.
How has innovation become engrained in your organization's culture, and how is it being optimized?
Pearson has a history of innovation. The company's origins were in the construction business during the Industrial Revolution. In fact, the story goes… "Pearson became one of the world's largest building contractors at a time when the industry controlled development of the transportation, trade and communication links that fuelled world economies." Pearson had a similar forward-thinking approach when deciding to focus on education, especially the shift to digital, recognizing that technology was changing the way people learn.
We started a Future Technologies team in 2011 to explore emerging technological developments and create prototypes that could be shared across the business. A network of 150 digital thought leaders, called Champions, was created to help promote the sharing of best practices and increase visibility into new platforms and products across the business.
We also introduced a developer platform to enable developers both inside and outside Pearson to experiment with our content. In 2012, the Pearson Catalyst accelerator program was introduced. It is an open innovation program that enables anyone from across the company to submit a real business challenge. We then make a selection of those challenges and publish them so that startups can apply to be part of the program. The startup most capable to address each challenge is selected and works alongside a Pearson team to build a pilot solution. Each of these initiatives encourages open innovation. The focus is on collaboration and sharing; breaking down the corporate walls.
Other innovation activities also include a new product lifecycle program to help the company adopt agile product development methodologies and a corporate-wide efficacy statement.
What technologies, business models, and trends will drive the biggest changes in your industry over the next two years?
I'm actually hoping technology is going to take more of a back seat over the next two years. I don't mean that technology will lose importance. It will remain a critical factor. But it will become invisible and serve as an enabler. We're already seeing the emergence of this trend with the Internet of Things and the rise of data science.
On business models, open and free is always going to be a contender – especially as quality continues to rise. Yet it's how the information is presented that will be the differentiator. In education, the increasing focus is on personalized and adaptive learning - that means ensuring the right content is presented to you at the right time and being able to quickly filter through the content to find the relevant information you need. I also don't think we're close to the end of the sharing economy.
More on the "fringe," I am intrigued to see how the bitcoin blockchain is applied in new ways, including in education.
We are seeing the rise of competency-based learning, which introduces more flexibility and a focus on learning practical skills or competencies, especially those that apply in the 21st century. It's also important to have a global outlook. Mobile developments in Africa, digital experiences in China, and creative approaches to learning in Australia cannot be overlooked.
Can you share a specific innovation strategy you've recently encountered which you find compelling?
I'm a big fan of Rallyteam. The company launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco back in September 2014. The focus is on employee empowerment. Most companies have valuable side projects that don't get done simply because of lack of resources, funds, visibility or all three. With Rallyteam, a marketplace of projects is created. People in a company can submit a project or indicate they want to work on a specific type of project. Employees are able to gain and apply new skills all the while completing real, tangible projects for their employer. It's a really exciting model - one that can help keep employees engaged and enable learning.

Eric Clapton to Release Christmas Album, 'Happy Xmas'
For his 24th studio album, Eric Clapton is trying something different: a Christmas album. Happy Xmas will come out on Oct. 12.
The collection contains one original track, "For Love on Christmas Day," mixed in with traditional and lesser-known tunes. "Jingle Bells" is dedicated to Avicii, the Swedish DJ who passed away in April, reportedly taking his own life. As Clapton told Billboard, the challenge was to figure out how to re-interpret these songs in his signature style.
"I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals," he said. "I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.'"
Clapton co-produced the record with Simon Climie and also drew the album's cover of Santa Claus. Billboard notes that, although it's his first Christmas album, he played on five songs 1999's A Very Special Christmas Live, a benefit for the Special Olympics.
A month prior to the release of Happy Xmas, Clapton will appear on Road to Utopia, the latest album from Hawkwind. It's a re-recording of some of their most beloved songs with an orchestra. Clapton plays guitar on "The Watcher."

Turbo Review
While mostly harmless, a sluggish Turbo sputters its way to the finish line.
Matt Fowler
Turbo is a snail who dreams of being the greatest racer in the world, just like his hero, 5-time Indianapolis 500 champ, Guy Gagne. His obsession with speed and all things fast has made him an oddity and outsider in the slow and cautious snail community, and a constant embarrassment to his careful older brother, Chet. Turbo desperately wishes he could escape the slow-paced life he's living. As luck would have it, he gets that chance one fateful day after a freak accident when he suddenly finds himself vested with the power of incredible speed. Turbo embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the impossible: racing against the best that IndyCar has to offer. Turbo is the ultimate underdog who achieves the impossible by refusing to let his limitations get in the way of his dreams.

Complete mixer packages for fast and efficient dispersion of bulk solids in large batches are available from this company. The 1000-gal dual-shaft mixer with inline solids/liquid injection manifold (SLIM) and recirculation skid has a rotor/stator that reportedly generates a powerful vacuum for drawing solids into the mix chamber.
Bulk solids are charged into the SLIM's feed hopper, while liquids are introduced into the batch mixer. The inline SLIM mixer reportedly acts like a pump and recirculates the liquid; when the solids inlet valve is opened, the rotor draws powders into the incoming liquid stream and expels the resulting dispersion through the stator openings at high velocity. All solids can be quickly injected while the liquid is relatively low viscosity.
As the product thickens, the agitators in the mixer are engaged to incorporate minor ingredients and finish the mixture. For applications where peak viscosity is significantly high, a supplementary pump may be supplied to continue recirculating the batch material and transport it to downstream equipment at the end of the mixing cycle.

Stories From the Gulf: Where Oil and Seafood Mix
This summer, Patagonia teamed up with non-profit environmental and social justice group, Louisiana Bucket Brigade (LABB), to assist with a project massive in scale and ambition: to track the full impact of the greatest ecological disaster in American history, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of Spring 2010. The impacts of this disaster extend well beyond unspeakable environmental degradation to the collapse of sustainable industries like fishing and tourism, and the human communities those industries support. Today we offer the final post to close out our week of stories from Patagonia employees who travelled to the Gulf to assist the LABB in their ongoing community surveys and Crisis Map project.
Where Oil and Seafood Mix
– Dulac, Louisiana
It was the height of hurricane season in southern Louisiana when we landed in mid-August, the five-year anniversary of Katrina a couple weeks away. Headed for Dulac – a low-lying bayou town about an hour and a half southwest of New Orleans – we were told we'd be evacuated if the weather acted up.
Our job was to go door-to-door surveying Dulac's 2,500 or so residents about the health, financial and cultural impacts of the BP oil spill. The nearest oil had reportedly made its way into a marsh a dozen or so miles away.
[The author's survey partner. Photo: Jim Little]
Oil and commercial shrimping are the area's biggest employers and have coexisted peaceably for many years. This was reinforced by a billboard we passed on our way down from New Orleans advertising the 75th annual Shrimp & Petroleum Festival over in Morgan City. Sweet Gulf oil and sweet Gulf shrimp. In southern Louisiana, people depend on both. Moratoriums on either meet with equal enthusiasm.
We stayed at the Dulac Community Center, a Methodist-run facility with a bunkhouse and kitchen. Working in teams of two, sometimes three, we hit neighborhoods from 9:30-noon and again from 3-5, knocking on the doors of homes along Shrimpers Row, Avet Street, Coonies Court and others. Dulac is hot and humid in mid-August. Trash litters the streets and waterways. The metallic colors of boat and construction yards, pipelines and processing plants contrast with the vibrant green and blue of the bayou.
Un-spayed and un-neutered dogs and cats are legion in Dulac. They lie listlessly in the heat or bark (the dogs, anyway) at strangers from yards and balconies. One aggressive stray delivered a skin-breaking bite to the leg of a member of our group. He had to drive 30 minutes to Houma for medical attention.
Many homes in Dulac and neighboring communities sit high on stilts to keep them safe from hurricane flood waters. People used federal"Road Home" money to have their houses and trailers raised. Other buildings less fortunate lay abandoned or in ruin. A flotilla of broken boats litter the banks of Grand Caillou Canal.
During our three-and-a-half-day canvas, my teammate and I spoke with 30 or so people: a beautician, oil-field worker, boat fueler, deckhand, retired social worker, retired teacher, disabled shrimper, bookkeeper, truck driver, and unemployed among them. One day, three of eight we interviewed shared the surname Billiot. We met a lot of Boudreauxs and Verdins, too.
Few people we spoke with reported having smelled oil or dispersant, or said they'd suffered health problems they would attribute to the spill. But it was hard to know. Much of Dulac is an industrial zone, stained with oil and scented with exhaust.
The economic effects of the oil spill were clearer. Everyone was acquainted with or related to a commercial shrimper who'd been forced to sit out the May season because their fishing grounds had been closed. Many idled fishermen received BP relief money, butsome said the checks were sporadic or had quit coming. Some had signed up with "Vessels of Opportunity," a BP program that paid them to put out boom and skim for oil rather than spread their butterfly nets and fish for shrimp.
The day after we arrived, a new shrimp season opened and boats sailed again for the Gulf. But demand for shrimp was said to be down, and with it the price. At least people were working again.
Not everyone we spoke with suffered financial headwinds because of the oil spill. Mark said he'd come in from Alabama to work as a deckhand on a Vessels of Opportunity boat and had been collecting $300 a day just waiting to be called into action. Joshua, who worked for an oil contractor, sounded like he was doing pretty well too. He said he'd joined the workaday world on his dad's shrimp boat at the age of eight, but had switched to oil when he turned 18. Work, it seemed, was all Joshua had known, as he'd never attended school.
Mark, Joshua and everyone else we interviewed were unfailingly hospitable – inviting strangers in off the porch, offering us something cold to drink, calling us sir, mister or miss. They were mostly happy to answer our questions, even the more personal ones about annual household income (almost always a good deal less than $25K) and highest level of education (usually well shy of high school graduation). Many really wanted to talk about their lives. It felt like some had never had the chance.
Shrimp is a staple part of people's diets in these parts. Few buy it, getting it instead from friends and neighbors. But some said they were no longer eating shrimp and other seafood because of the spill. Others weren't that worried about it. Indeed, shrimp still figured prominently on the menu at Schmoopy's, Dulac's largest eatery, along with deep-fried crawfish, shrimp gumbo and Po-Boy sandwiches.
Katrina, Rita, Ike and Gustav. Because of hurricane flooding, some residents had been forced to drain the water, clean the mud and remove the drywall from their homes three or more times over the years. They were a resilient community, people who mostly did for themselves and never got too attached to their belongings. Despite the ever-present dangers of flooding and 100-mile-an-hour winds, few expressed interest in ever leaving Dulac. Roots were deep, family ties were strong, and the bayou was home.
It wasn't the oil spill so much as it was the endless cycle of hurricanes that seemed to concern people most. But the two together – the storms and the oil – that was the real worry. Many expected the next big storm would bring BP's mistake to their very doorsteps, tarring the little town of Dulac with a thick coat of Louisiana Sweet, the Gulf's unfortunate lifeblood.

This proposal defines a packaging system for various core XML technologies: XSLT, XQuery, and XProc. The goal is to define it in a way generic enough so to adapt it to other technologies in the future (such as XML Schema, XForms, etc.) using the same framework. Besides enabling the delivery of libraries written in standard XSLT, XQuery and XProc, it provides support for extensions specific to some processors, as well as enabling new processors to be supported by using the same framework.

XSLT, XQuery and XProc are amazing programming languages. But they lack a large choice of libraries, and when such libraries do exist, this is a challenge to install. There is no automatic install process, the rules are different for each processor, library authors do not follow the same rules regarding the info they provide, the cataloging, the way they reference third-party libraries, etc.
All those problems (well, most of them) can be addressed by a packaging system that is broadly adopted by processor vendors and library authors. The cornerstone of such a system is the packaging format: a description of the information to be provided by the library authors and how to provide and structure them.
A package is a set of files fulfilling a common purpose. A package could for instance provide XML schemas for a particular document type, alongside a set of XSLT stylesheets to format the same document type to HTML or XSL-FO. Or a package can simply provide an XQuery library module containing a set of functions (directly supporting the notion of library). Those files composing a package (stylesheets, schemas, pipelines, queries, etc.) are called its components.
A package has a unique name (a URI) as well as a convenient short name, also known as its abbrev (an NCName), used in contexts where a URI is not suitable (or simply not convenient) and where the uniqueness of the name is not necessary. A package has a set of dependencies too. A dependency is another package, identified by its full name, a package depends on.
A package provides all those infos as well as its components as a single file. This is then very convenient to organize packages, publish them, give them to a processor to install them, etc.
A component can be of one out of several types: an XSLT stylesheet, an XQuery main or library module, an XProc pipeline, an XML schema, a RELAX NG schema (XML or compact syntax), a Schematron schema, an NVDL schema, or a plain resource file. An implementation can add support for additional types. A component is identified by a public URI. This public URI is used to access the component from the outside of the package. Each component type has its own URI space, within which a component's URI has to be unique (so two different components can have the same public URI if they are of different types, but this is not recommended).
All the components composing the package, alongside an additional package
descriptor, are used to create a ZIP file. This file is the
physical package, and can be used to distribute the package to the users. The package
descriptor is a plain XML file, named expath-pkg.xml
at the root of the ZIP
file, and containing information about the package (like its name and its version
number) and about the components it provides and how to reference them.
The package descriptor is an XML file, named expath-pkg.xml
and located at
the root of the ZIP file. It describe the whole package, and all of its components.
Alongside this descriptor, the root of the ZIP file contains a directory named
, containing the components and any other file the package needs.
All the relative URIs used to identify components are relative to the content directory.
See A Package descriptor schema for a normative schema.
Because this package format is designed to be extensible and used as a building block by other specifications, the ZIP file can contain another entries at top-level. They are just ignored when the package is deployed as a simple package following this specification.
All the elements in the package descriptor are defined in the namespace
. All the elements defined in this
specification or used in samples and in text are in this namespace, even if no prefix
is used. The root element is package
, and contains, besides some naming
and versionning attributes, a title, an optional home URI, an optional list of
dependencies on other packages and on processors, and a list of components:
<package name = uri abbrev = string version = string spec = string> title, home?, dependency*, (xslt |xquery |xproc |xsd |rng |rnc)* </package>
is the name of the package. A package is named using an IRI, as
defined by [RFC 3987], excepted any IRI using the file:
scheme (most frequent choices are http:
and urn:
URIs). Note that the definition of IRI excludes relative references.
is the package abbrev, and version
its version.
is the version of the packaging specification the package
conforms to. The current specification requires the package to use the spec number
(no forward compatibility rules are defined, a processor
conforming to this specification has to generate an error if the spec number is
different than the string 1.0
). The package then contains a title, which
is a plain string, intended to be a simple description of the package for humans, and
a home which is a URI to find more informations about the package. It then contains
the list of its dependencies and the list of its components.
<dependency package = uri processor = string versions = string semver = string semver-min = string semver-max = string> empty </dependency>
Dependencies are set by using the name of other packages this package depends on. The dependency can also define the version of the package or the set of processors it depends on by using one of the few available strategies; see 5 Versioning and dependency management for a complete description of them.
This section describes the standard component kinds supported by this specification,
and how they contribute to the package descriptor document type. Every component has
the same basic information: it associates a public URI to a specific file within the
content directory. The file
element contains a path, relative to the
package content directory. Both elements in a component are of type
An XSLT file is associated a public import URI. This is the URI to use
in an XSLT import instruction (aka xsl:import
) to import the XSLT
file provided in the package. This file is configured with the element
<xslt> import-uri, file </xslt>
An XQuery library module is referenced by its namespace URI. Thus the
element associates a namespace URI to an XQuery file. An
importing module just need to use an import statement of the form import
module namespace xx = "<namespace-uri>";
An XQuery main module is associated a public URI. Usually an XQuery package will provide functions through library modules, but in some cases one can want to provide main modules as well.
<xquery> (namespace |import-uri), file </xquery>
Note that there is no way to set any location hint (as the at
in the import statement.) To use this packaging system, an XQuery library module
must be referenced by its target namespace.
An XProc pipeline, like an XSLT stylesheet, is associated a public import
URI, aimed to be used in an XProc p:import
<xproc> import-uri, file </xproc>
An XML schema can be imported using its target namespace. It is not possible to set several files as several sources for the schema. If the schema is spread over multiple files, there must be one top-level file that includes the other files.
<xsd> (namespace |import-uri), file </xsd>
The import-uri
can be used to define a schema location for this
schema component. This can be useful for schema without target namespace, or for
some specific usages, like when using xs:redefine
A RelaxNG schema, like an XSLT stylesheet, is associated a public import URI, aimed to be used in an import statement (either the include element for an RNG schema or an import directive for an RNC schema.)
<rng> import-uri, file </rng> <rnc> import-uri, file </rnc>
A Schematron schema is associated a public URI.
<schematron> import-uri, file </schematron>
A resource file is associated a public URI. This can be any kind of file. It has
to be used in accordance to its content. For instance accessing a text file
through fn:unparsed-text()
is correct, while using
is not (it will raise an error because it parses the
content as XML).
<resource> public-uri, file </resource>
Documentation (like result of XSLStyle or xqDoc) is not taken into account in the packaging format, though that could be used by IDEs for instance to provide documentation for functions in an editor with a live completion feature. Some support for documentation can of course be added as a product-specific feature to the package descriptor.
This section is deprecated, either to remove it completely or to rewrite it (in case some pieces should be kept here). Most of this material should be moved to the new section "URI resolving").
A processor is any program that use packaged components. For instance, an XSLT processor uses XSLT stylesheets (as well as XML schemas for an XSLT 2.0 SA processor), an XML database can use XQuery modules, XSLT stylesheets or any other kind of component, etc. But processors include also IDEs, editors, and any program that could want to use packaged components and that supports this specification.
The installed package list is implementation-defined. Each implementation (for a specific processor) can define its own way to install and remove packages, as long as it properly documents it. A processor should use, when appropriate, the on-disk repository layout as defined below.
Whether or not such a repository exists (or several repositories), the implementation must define an installed packages list. How this is done is outside the scope of this spec. An XML IDE could provide a way to select packages to activate for a specific scenario, or a web server container could activate packages on a per-web application basis.
When a reference to a file of a specific kind is done via an absolute URI, a processor must look up for this URI in the corresponding URI space in the repository. How the repository is set to the processor is implementation-defined (a processor can also use a list of repositories, and enable or disable some libraries in any implementation-defined way.)
The URI space to use is defined by the nature of the reference. An XSLT
attribute on xsl:import
will use the xslt
URI space, while it will use the xsd
space for
An XProc processor in particular has to pay great attention to the space it uses
regarding the step that is being evaluated. Any xsl:import
encountered on the stylesheet
port of the step p:xslt
to be looked for in the xslt
space (regardless if the stylesheet
document is inlined in the pipeline, computed, loaded from the file system or
retrieved from the Internet, or if the containing stylesheet has been imported
The XProc elements p:document
and p:data
, as well as the
step p:load
are handled specially. They can be used to access any kind
of resource, including but not limited to components in a repository. The user has to
tell explicitly the processor what kind of component is looked for by using the
extension attribute. For instance, a stylesheet can be
loaded from a repository as input to the step xslt
as following:
<p:xslt> <p:input port="stylesheet"> <p:document href="..." pkg:kind="xslt"/> </p:input> ... </p:xslt>
Every package has a name (a URI) and a version number. It can also have a set of dependencies on other packages, identified by their names. Each dependency can also define a specific version (or range of versions) of the package it depends on. In addition to depending on other packages, a package can also depend on a specific processor (or on one among a set of specifc processors). This section uses the following example package to illustrate those concepts:
<package name="http://example.org/app" version="1.0" ...> <dependency package="http://external.org/library"/> <dependency package="http://partner.com/lib-2" semver="2"/> <dependency processor="saxon" version="pe"/> <!-- rest of package descriptor skipped --> ... </package>
At first glance, we can see that this package (which is named
and has the version number 1.0
depends on the package http://external.org/library
(no specific version),
on the package http://partner.com/lib-2
(version 2, whatever minor revision
numbers) and on the Saxon processor, Professional Edition. The rest of this section
explains in details the rules behind those dependencies, how to represent them, and
their semantics.
The remainder of this section will use the term primary for the current package, described by this package decriptor, and secondary for a package it depends on.
A dependency on another package (usually called a library), is represented
by the element dependency
, with an attribute package
is the name of the library the package depends on. The dependency can be versioned;
that is, only some versions of the library are acceptable for this package.
The versionning attributes are versions
, semver
and semver-max
. They are all mutually
exclusive, except semver-min
and semver-max
. If no
versionning attribute is set on the dependency, any version of the secondary package,
identified by its name (the URI in the package
attribute), is
acceptable. If the versions
attribute is used, it defines the exact set
of acceptable versions for the secondary package, separated by spaces.
The other versionning attributes use [SemVer] to define the set of acceptable versions for the secondary package. We use only the syntax of SemVer, and define in addition the format of a SemVer template as being either a SemVer version number or a subpart of it (i.e. only the major version, or the major and the minor versions, or the major, the minor and the patch version). For instance 1.9 is a valid SemVer template (because it does not have any patch number), while 1.9.0 and 1.9.23 are actual version numbers compatible with this template.
If the semver
attribute is used, the secondary package version must be
compatible with this template. If semver-min
is used, the secondary
package version must be either compatible with that SemVer template, or greater than
it. If semver-max
is used, the secondary package version must be either
compatible with that SemVer template, or lower than it. For instance, with
and semver-max="3"
, any version of the
secondary package which is equal or above 2.3.0 and strictly below 4.0.0 is valid
(that is, 2.3.0, 3.0.0, 3.99.87, etc.)
In addition to depending on other packages, a dependency can tell which processor(s) is (are) needed for this package:
<dependency processor="http://saxon.sf.net/he"/>
If there is several such dependencies, the package is supported by a specific processor as soon as one of the proc dependencies does match. The meaning of the versionning attributes on processor dependencies is defined by each processor.
How those rules are enforced is implementation-defined. For instance a command line tool to install a package in a repository can generate an error if the required dependencies are not installed, try to install them automagically from the web, or just emit a warning install the package hoping the dependencies to be installed later on, and provide an option to select the behaviour to use. Another implementation can enforce the dependencies at compile- or at run-time. An implementation SHOULD provide a way to enforce those rules, but can also provide an option to ignore them.
From the above text, a version number is not defined to have any particular semantics, except when used with one of the several SemVer attributes. The only constraint is that a version number cannot contain any whitespace character (as defined by the [XML] recommendation). A library author SHOULD use version numbers compatible with SemVer though, unless there is a justification not to use it.
At the end of the day, having packages installed in a repository is interesting only if one is able to use the installed components. This can be done by invoking directly the component, e.g. an XProc pipeline directly from the command-line or an XSLT stylesheet from an IDE, or most of the time by importing the component from within user's own components. For instance, a user can import the FunctX XSLT implementation in his/her own stylesheet, by refering to it only by its public import URI, provided the FunctX package is available to the processor the user uses to evaluate the overall transform.
In order to promote interoperability, this specification defines a standard URI resolving mechanism, and how to import installed components from within user's own components. In order to stay generic enough though, the initial list of available package at runtime, as well as the way to set the initial options of this algorithm, are implementation-defined. Indeed, the way to set the available package list will be different on an application server and on an IDE, or on a standalone processor and on an XML database. The same way, although the algorithm defines a set of options to control its behaviour, the way to set those is out of the scope of this specification; a .Net API, an IDE and a webapp container, to mention only them, have very different mechanism to let the user or developer set options.
A public component is a component which is part of a package, and is associated a public import URI within the package descriptor. A public component as a associated URI space, as explained earlier. A universe is a set of packages available to some processor, at some point in time, in some context. As described later, a universe can be e.g. the latest version of every packages installed in a specific repository; another example is a single package (e.g. used as a web application) and all its explicit dependencies, recursively.
The way to define a universe is implementation-defined, but implementations SHOULD allow a user to create a universe from either: a repository or a set of repositories (actually choosing the latest version for each package in the repository), or from an explicit set of packages, given their names (actually choosing the latest version for each package in the list), or from an expicit set of packages, given their names and their version numbers (or if no explicit version number is available, choose the latest version for the given package). In the two later cases, an implementation SHOULD provide the user with the ability of including explicit package dependencies as well, either recursively or direct dependencies only. A universe SHOULD NOT contain several packages with the same name but different versions. A universe can not contain several packages with the same name and the same version number, because in that case their are considered the same package regardless they actually are duplicated in the repository (this is the responsability of the user to prevent inconsistencies in that case).
TODO: Define what's a processor, what's compilation, and the case or 'resource'... (that is, the context of a resolution)
When a processor, whilst compiling a component, encounters an import statement, it SHOULD perform the following steps:
if the URI of the imported module is relative or uses the file URI scheme, then the usual resolving mechanism of the processor is used (if the import statement appears within a component from a package, it must resolve relatively to that component, according to the original package structure),
depending on the context of the import statement, the processor determines the URI space to look into,
if there is a public component in the correct URI space in the initial universe, the processor uses it,
if there is nothing corresponding in the universe, the usual resolving mechanism of the processor is used (for instance trying to resolve the URI as a URL or generating an error).
The rule to define the proper URI space to look into in order to resolve the URI of an import statement
This section defines a standard structure for on-disk repositories. An implementation can choose not to support this kind of repository and to define its own one (or even to not define it publicly, just to provide the ability to install and remove packages, in a clearly documented way.) However, there are several advantages to support this structure, the most obvious one is to be able to benefit from existing tools to manage such repositories as well as existing libraries to access those repositories.
The repository is a directory on the file system, within which the packages are
installed. Each package results in a subdirectory in the repository, where the content
of the XAR file is unzipped. Next to those package directories, there is also a
subdirectory named .expath-pkg/
, which contains administrative information
about the packages installed in this repository.
The package directories SHOULD be named after the package abbreviation (the
attribute in the package descriptor) and the version number,
separated by a dash. A package directory name must not contain the space
Because these directory names cannot be ensured to be unique among every packages installed in the repository, and because the processors will in some case have to translate some characters (depending on the rules of the filesystem they put the repository on), they cannot be used as a perfect mapping between package abbreviations and directories. It is only described here as a note, in the hope that the several implementations will use similar naming strategies, meaningful for humans.
The repository maintains a list of installed packages. For each of them, this list
contains its name (the name URI), its subdirectory name, and its version number. This
list is maintained within two files: .expath-pkg/packages.xml
. Both contain the same information, the former
in an XML format and the later as plain text. The XML format looks like the following
(see B Package list schema for a normative schema):
<packages xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/repo/packages"> <package name="http://example.org/some/package" dir="some-package-2.3" version="2.3"/> <package name="http://example.com/some-library" dir="some-lib-0.1" version="0.1"/> <package ... </packages>
The text file is a line-separated file (either line termination can be used:
, \n
or \n\r
, though the standard Internet
line termination is preferred: \n\r
). Each line represent a package, and is
a space-separated record. The first field is the package directory (the name if the
subdirectory within the repository where the package has been unzipped), the second one
is the package name (the name URI), and the last one is the version number. No one of
those fields can contain any space character. Every field is separated by exactly one
space character (the Unicode character with code point #x20). This file then looks
some-package-2.3 http://example.org/some/package 2.3 some-lib-0.1 http://example.com/some-library 0.1 ...
The overall repository thus looks like:
[repository-dir]/ .expath-pkg/ packages.txt packages.xml some-package-2.3/ expath-pkg.xml content/ query.xq style.xsl some-lib-0.1/ expath-pkg.xml content/ ...
Because the package descriptor is unzipped in the package directory, as well as the
rest of the files contained in the package, this is easy to find the mapping between
package directories and package names and versions: just look into the package
descriptor into every package directory, and you will find what you are looking for.
But in order to allow other programs to access easily the list of installed packages,
we provide the list in .expath-pkg/packages.xml
. And because shell
scripts must be able to access that list as well, a second file, text-oriented, is
provided; of course this is redundant information, but it is maintained automatically
by the repository manager, so the redundancy is not an issue.
In addition to this structure, a specific processor can store information in
subdirectories (both in the repository level or within each package directories),
provided those directories start with a dot, and are named unambiguously with the name
of the processor. For instance [repository]/.saxon/
for repository-wide
config for Saxon, or [repository]/[some-pkg]/.exist/
for config for eXist
for a specific package.
This section provides a non-normative example to illustrate the concepts defined here. Instead of using a hello world example, it describes the packaging of the existing FunctX library [FunctX]. This library consists of a standard XQuery 1.0 library module and a standard XSLT 2.0 stylesheet (both provide the same set of functions to either XQuery or XSLT, but this is not relevant to packaging.)
The first thing to do is to create a ZIP file with both of those components, alongside a
package descriptor. The constraints are: 1) the package descriptor is
named expath-pkg.xml
at the root of the package, and 2) the library content
is in a directory named content
at the root of the package (aka the
content directory). The structure of the content directory is completely
free. In our case, let's just put both component files directly in the content
directory, and define the module name as functx
expath-pkg.xml content/ functx.xql functx.xsl
The XQuery library module's target namespace is defined by the module itself. For the
XSLT stylesheet, we have to define its public URI, used to identify it
within an xsl:import
(or any other means, for instance within XProc or an
IDE scenarii system). Let's define it as http://www.functx.com/functx.xsl
The package descriptor thus looks like the following:
<package xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/pkg" spec="1.0" name="http://www.functx.com" abbrev="functx" version="1.0"> <title>FunctX library</title> <xquery> <namespace>http://www.functx.com</namespace> <file>functx.xql</file> </xquery> <xslt> <import-uri>http://www.functx.com/functx.xsl</import-uri> <file>functx.xsl</file> </xslt> </package>
We just have to create a ZIP file with this structure and content. The convention is to
call this file functx-1.0.xar
(that is,
[abbrev]-[version].xar). That's all for the package itself.
If the target processor supports the on-disk repository layout, here is what the
repository could look like after the package has been installed:
[repository-dir]/ .expath-pkg/ packages.txt packages.xml functx-1.0/ expath-pkg.xml content/ functx.xql functx.xsl
The content of .expath-pkg/packages.xml
<packages xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/repo/packages"> <package name="http://www.functx.com" dir="functx-1.0" version="1.0"/> </packages>
The content of .expath-pkg/packages.txt
functx-1.0 http://www.functx.com 1.0
The package directory functx-1.0/
has been named after the abbrev and the
version number. Its content is simply the content of the XAR file, unzipped. A user can
then import the FunctX library from either an XQuery module or an XSLT stylesheet by
using respectively an import statement:
import module namespace fx = "http://www.functx.com";
or an import instruction:
<xsl:import href="http://www.functx.com/functx.xsl"/>
The package format defined in this specification is a complete system to package libraries, for the right definition of a library. But a specfic kind of library can require more information. For instance, a web application is also a set of components, but requiring more configuration. An additional descriptor format for such applications could be defined and added to this packaging framework to define a specialized kind of packages. By building upon this packaging format, the new format would benefit from the existing mechanism to map public URIs to components.
Another extensibility point is the definition of additional component types. The component types defined here are the standard types, but an implementation may support additional implementation-defined types.
More generally, an implementation may define any extension element or attribute in the package descriptor to achieve its purposes, providing that the elements and attributes it defines are neither in the EXPath Packaging namespace nor in the null namespace (an attribute on an extension element can be in no namespace, but an attribute on a standard element must be in a specific namespace).

A BA in Economics provides a range of exciting career prospects in the private and public sectors. Graduates with economics degrees are highly marketable because they learn an analytic approach to solving problems. The BA in Economics provides an excellent background for graduate programs in economics, business, law, and urban planning. The economics major is also attractive to students who seek a broad liberal arts background. Majors in economics at CSU, Chico have the opportunity to pursue semester or year-long study-abroad programs.
Students may choose classes ranging from those with a historical perspective to those which use quantitative techniques. Students may complete a BA in Economics with concentrations in at least two of the following four areas: Environmental Economics and Public Policy, International Economics, Financial Economics, and Quantitative Economics. Small senior-level classes allow students to know their professors well. Tutors in the department conference room can help students in any economics class; sometimes professors join tutors in explaining economic issues. The economics department is committed to using the latest technology. The curriculum is periodically reviewed and adjusted to be responsive to changing national and international conditions and to student needs and preferences. Exceptional students may participate in the Honors Program in Economics.
Internship Credit
Students may be eligible for internship credit if they take jobs that expand their knowledge of economics and/or allow them to apply the economics they have learned in class. A maximum of three units of internship credit may be applied to complete the major. Economics majors have held internships ranging from stock brokerage firms in Chico to the United States Agency for International Development in Washington, D.C. For some, internships turn into full-time jobs. See the department chair for more information about internships.
Double Major and Economics Minor
Students may earn a double major in economics and one of the business majors without doubling unit requirements since some courses count towards both majors. A double major in economics and social sciences satisfies the requirements to enter a teaching credential program and to prepare to teach economics at the high school level. A minor in economics enhances employment opportunities for students with majors in communications, environmental studies, journalism, education, geography, planning, business, international relations and a variety of other fields.
The economics faculty uses a combination of diverse approaches in conjunction with numerous applied case studies to provide students with a broad and in-depth exposure to the discipline. The faculty holds doctoral degrees from prestigious American graduate programs, is actively involved in publishing and grants, and is involved in local economic issues. Often students work with faculty on research projects. Undergraduate teaching and learning is their highest priority.
Career Outlook
There is a strong demand for those with a BA in Economics in the business, finance, banking, planning, marketing and insurance areas. At the local, state, and federal levels, economics majors compete extremely well for jobs in the public sector. There is an increasing demand for teachers of high school economics. Economics is an excellent major for those planning to enter law school. Economics majors earn more on an annual basis and have higher lifetime earnings than other majors in the social sciences. A degree in economics is especially beneficial for women. On average women with bachelor's degrees make about 75% as much as men; women with bachelor's degrees in economics make about the same as men with bachelor's degrees in economics. Economics majors with mathematics, statistics, or computer skills are in very high demand and command substantial starting salaries. The career outlook for those with a BA in Economics is very positive.

It's common, in conversations about atheism taking place in public, for one or more members of minority faiths to chime in with claims that what is being discussed somehow neglects their perspective. These rejoinders are often delivered with the snide implication that atheism is a reaction to the problems of big, common, monotheistic faiths, and that giving a little consideration to these nontheistic or polytheistic styles (or some other alternative to what they only assume the atheists' religious background was) would have set the atheists on a righter path. They also, consistently, assume that atheist criticisms of religion, whether about its ethics or its metaphysics, somehow don't apply to them.
I find these people only a little less irritating than I find folks who try to deflect conversations about alternative medicine and other unevidenced practices with accusations that criticizing these things is culturally insensitive, and that's only because this latter set gets people killed.
