More than one in five residents in Canada was born in another country, making it one of the world's top destinations for international migrants. From its migration policymaking aimed at identifying and recruiting workers needed by the Canadian economy, to its immigrant integration policies, and efforts to recruit skilled migrants and international students, the research collected here focuses on the diverse policies, practices, and trends that Canada is experiencing.
More than half of all the states in the world, countries of immigration as well as emigration, now tolerate some form or element of dual citizenship. This report goes beyond statistical trends to the heart of these changes and how best to think through the policy answers.
This policy brief outlines the causes of educational disadvantage among young children of immigrants and explores strategies for improving their educational and socioeconomic outlook.
This policy brief analyzes the effectiveness of school language policies across 14 immigrant-receiving countries. It examines various methods countries have adopted to help immigrant students gain proficiency in the language of instruction, identifies contexts that seem to elicit positive outcomes, and provides recommendations.
This report identifies features of remittances that make them ideal leveraging agents for poverty reduction and migration management agendas, and proposes a four-part international research and policy agenda for maximizing the development impact of international remittances.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.

Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement - or IVA for short - is a formal, legally binding arrangement between an individual and their creditors. The arrangement lets both parties agree on an affordable monthly payment to be made towards a debt for a fixed period – usually 5 years. At the end of this period, any outstanding debt will be written off and the individual will be discharged from the IVA.
Advantages of an IVA
- An IVA protects the debtor from being harassed by the creditors via threatening chaser letters, phone-calls or house calls. Once approved, all correspondences with the creditors will be dealt with by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner.
- Interests and charges on the debts included in the IVA will be frozen, so this debt will never increase.
- Fees for the IVA will be taken directly from the debtors agreed monthly payment, so there won't be any unexpected or surprise bills.
- Your home is protected as long as you keep up with your agreed monthly payments.
- At the end of the term, any outstanding debt will be written off.
Disadvantages of an IVA
- The IVA will appear on your credit file for 6 years and will likely have anadverse effect on your credit rating.
- Creditors generally don't consider expenses such as socialising, holidays, savings, beauty treatments or gym memberships to be essential financial commitments, so you may have to sacrifice some of these luxuries in order for your creditors to agree to an IVA proposal.
- If you don't stick to the terms of your IVA it could fail, leaving your creditors to pursue you for the debt in full again.
- Only unsecured debts can be included – such as credit cards, unsecured bank and finance company loans, payday loans etc. You will need to maintain payments to secured debts such as mortgage or other secured loan payments.
How it works
First, your Insolvency Practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment of your financial situation to make sure that an IVA is the most suitable course of action. They will look at the level of debt you have and the creditors that you owe these debts to, as well as assessing your income and expenditure and any assets that you may have.
If an IVA is the most suitable solution for you they will work out what you can realistically afford to pay each month after essential monthly commitments are met. A proposal will be put forward to each of your creditors with the amount you can afford to pay each month. If creditors which hold at least 75% of your total debts agree to this proposal, then the IVA will be approved and the terms set out will apply to all of your creditors, including any that may have rejected the initial proposal.
Once approved, you will no longer have any direct-dealings with your creditors as your Insolvency Practitioner will now be your IVA supervisor and will deal with all correspondences with creditors on your behalf. They will also act in the interest of your creditors to ensure that you keep to the agreed conditions of the IVA - namely keeping up with monthly payments for the duration of the IVA. Your IVA supervisor will take any fees due to them from this monthly payment before distributing the rest to your creditors.
Your financial situation will be reassessed annually throughout the IVA to ensure that your monthly payment still fairly reflects your disposable income each month. It is important to cooperate fully and honestly with your supervisor. If your income has increased significantly since your last review, your Supervisor could request that your monthly payment also increases for the benefit of your creditors. Likewise, if your situation has deteriorated, your supervisor may be able to help by extending your IVA at a lower monthly payment. You must let your supervisor know as soon as possible if your income does decrease significantly.
At the end of the term, when you have paid your final contribution to your IVA, the remainder of your debt will be written off and you will be discharged from the IVA. Three months after the final payment has been made your name will be removed from the Individual Insolvency Register.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can apply for an IVA?
Only residents of England, Wales and Northern Ireland can apply for an IVA. There are different solutions for residents of Scotland, such as the Protected Trust Deed or Debt Arrangement Scheme. You must also be employed with a steady income and have some disposable income left over at the end of the month.
Can I set up my own IVA?
No. An IVA is a very complex, legally-binding arrangement which can only be administered by a licensed insolvency practitioner.
What are the minimum and maximum amounts of debt that can be included in an IVA?
There is no official minimum or maximum level of debt to be considered for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement. However, most IPs will generally only deem an IVA suitable if your debt level is more than £5,000.
Will I have to sell my home?
It is unusual to have to sell your home as part of an IVA agreement. Provided that you keep up with payments, the IVA will provide protection on your home. If you have a significant amount of equity in your home however, you may be required to remortgage towards the end of the IVA.
How much will the IVA cost me?
This will depend on your level of monthly contribution. Your Insolvency Practitioner will explain any associated costs in full before you sign the IVA. The fees to your Insolvency Practitioner will be deducted from your IVA payment each month, and not added over and above this payment.
How will an IVA affect my credit rating?
An IVA is likely to have a negative impact on your credit score, meaning that you will unlikely be able to obtain credit. It will appear on your credit file from the date it is accepted and will stay there for 6 years before being removed. After this you can start working on rebuilding your credit score.
What debts can be included in an IVA?
Only unsecured debts can be included. Such things as credit card and store card debt, payday loans, and unsecured bank or finance loans.
You cannot include mortgages, mortgage arrears or rent arrears or any loans secured against your home. Court fines, parking fines and speeding fines cannot be included either.
Who will find out about my IVA?
Your name and address will be published on the Individual Insolvency Register, which is publically accessible via the internet. It will also be published in the Stubbs Gazette, which is a magazine available to banks, finance companies and Insolvency Practitioners.

WHEELING - For the better part of a generation, hearing the words "department store" and "Wheeling" uttered in the same sentence meant listening to someone wax nostalgic about a bygone era.
That all changes soon, when the national department store chain Peebles opens its newest location in the Friendly City, at the Warwood Shopping Plaza.
A grand opening is planned for 9 a.m. Thursday. The store is located near Kroger in space formerly occupied by True Value Hardware. Among its offerings will be men's and women's apparel, accessories, beauty products, jewelry, electronics and housewares.

PEEBLES ON THE WAY— The Warwood Shopping Plaza sign along state Route 2 heralds the arrival of a Peebles department store, slated for a Thursday grand opening.
-- Ian Hicks
This past Monday was the first day of orientation for employees in preparation for the opening, and the first shipments of merchandise were expected last Tuesday. The store will employ more than 30 people to start, with the potential for more depending on sales, according to District Manager Randy Kriegel.
"We expect it to do very well," he said.
Though it's just one of many neighborhoods in Wheeling, Warwood - with its own schools, grocery stores, high-rise apartment complex and park - has the feel of being its very own small town. That was apparent to Kriegel the first time he visited the location, making it the perfect fit for a company that's found its niche in bringing department stores to small to mid-sized communities, he said.
"It's a section of the community that's underserved," Kreigel said of Warwood. "It's our goal to be here when someone needs something after work."
Among those looking forward to shopping at Peebles is Councilwoman Gloria Delbrugge, who represents Warwood on City Council. She's enjoyed shopping at the store's locations in Moundsville and New Martinsville and believes it will provide a welcome alternative to traveling to the Highlands or St. Clairsville.
"As people get older, they don't like to drive in all this traffic on the interstate. ... I'm excited, and I know I'm not the only one," Delbrugge said.
Now that Peebles is coming to town, Delbrugge can cross "department store" off her wish list for her neighborhood. She noted she'd also like to see a new hardware store, a laundromat and a sit-down restaurant in Warwood in the near future.
Kriegel said there are still some employment openings available, and anyone interested is welcome to stop by the Warwood store location and apply weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"If the lights are on, come on in and say, 'Hi,'" he said.
Peebles' parent company, Houston-based Stage Stores Inc., operates more than 800 stores in 40 states under five trade names, including Bealls, Goody's, Palais Royal and Stage.
The Warwood Peebles will be the first of two new department stores set to open in the area. Boscov's, which operates more than 40 stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, will open its newest location at the Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville on Oct. 13.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A group of Kansas National Guardsmen say their work in Afghanistan will live on.
About 60 soldiers with the Guard's Agribusiness Development Team were welcomed home Thursday morning with a ceremony at Forbes Field.
The group deployed in September to Laghman Province, Afghanistan. While there, they helped set up agriculture and farming businesses; trained citizens in farming practices; and set up irrigation for more land.
Lt. Col. Russell Richardson said it was a humanitarian mission that went beyond the scope of a usual military task. He said that, while their military training kept them safe, it was their farming backgrounds from their civilian lives that were of true value to the mission itself.
The group estimates it helped more than 60,000 Afghan citizens and assisted with more than 40 businesses that will be self-sustaining.
This was the Guard's fourth such team to deploy to Afghanistan.

PETERSEN MEDIA- For over a week, Shane Stewart and his Silva Motorsports team sat in the Pacific Northwest, watching it rain and wash out yet another weekend of events. This weekend the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour shifted to Cottage Grove, OR and Stewart climbed back into the cockpit of his ROCKSTAR/Makita backed sprinter and picked up fifth and seventh place finishes over the weekend.
On Friday night, a sixth to second run in his heat race transferred the Lucas Oil Products/Cross Creek Trucking/A.R.T. mount directly into the feature and the top eight redraw, where Shane would pull a seven pill, lining him up in the fourth row for the 30-lap contest.
The unusually tacky Cottage Grove Speedway made passing tough early in the feature, as Stewart grabbed the sixth spot with the waving of the green flag.
As the race slowed early due to a pair of cautions, Stewart was able to muscle his way past Jeff Swindell to take over the fifth spot.
As laps continued to tick off at a fast pace with the hooked up track, Shane put pressure on the fourth running, Johnny Herrera, over the final circuits for the fourth spot, but took the checkered flag on the bumper of Herrera's No.45x machine.
Saturday night got off to a strong start for the Pro Bilt Construction/Palmero Properties/Wesmar powered machine, as Stewart capitalized on his pole starting spot in his heat picking off the win, and transferring directly into the 35-lap finale.
Rolling off in the eighth spot, Stewart held his spot over the early stages of the race as he utilized both the high side and the bottom of the track as he worked toward cracking the top five.
After getting past Seth Bergman on the 10th circuit to grab the seventh spot, Stewart was then able to muscle his was around Johnny Herrera to move into the sixth spot on the 13th lap.
As laps continued to click off, Stewart began applying heavy pressure to Roger Crockett for the fifth spot with 10-laps remaining.
On the 21st lap, Stewart drifted high, and off the racing surface and dropped from his sixth spot back to the ninth spot.
Over the last 14-laps, Stewart was able to regroup his ROCKSTAR/Makita No.57 machine and work his way back to the seventh spot as the checkered flag flew.
"This wasn't exactly the weekend we had hoped for here at Cottage Grove," explained Stewart. "Friday the track was tricky and a little different then it has been in the past and passing was tough, and tonight we were okay, and I think we were better then a seventh place car, but I have to thank Paul, ROCKSTAR/Makita and all my sponsors for getting me out here."
The Silva Motorsports team thanks ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK, Makita Industrial Power Tools, Lucas Oil Products, A.R.T. Speed Equipment, Pro Bilt Construction, Palmero Properties, Cross Creek Trucking, Finley Farms, Car and Fleet, Race Gear X, OMP Racing, Wesmar Racing Engines, McColloch's RV, Shift Creative, Amerikote, XYZ, Hoosier Tire, Pro, Banshee Graphics, Dan Olson Products, K&N Filters, RE Technologies, Weld, Schoenfeld Headers, Butlerbuilt Seats, Vortex Wings, CP Pistons, Cometic Gaskets, Huggins Cams BR Ignitioneering and Seven Industries for their partnership in 2011.
ON TAP: Up next for the ROCKSTAR/Makita team will be a trip back to California for the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour's first trip to the high-banked Placerville Speedway in Placerville, CA. The last time Stewart and his Silva Motorsports team visited the tight bullring, Stewart was victorious after a hard fought battle with the late Jesse Hockett in 2009.

The 7 Most Hilariously Mismatched Superhero Battles
#3. Batman Vs. Calendar Man
Look up in the sky, it's a numerologist ice-hockey goalie! A TRON gay pride activist! No, it's just the supervillain Calendar Man, whose gimmick was that he committed crimes related to the date. Sorry, we're afraid that's actually it.
Making your crimes extra-predictable when going up against the Master Detective is not just a bad idea, it basically makes you a more math oriented version of the Riddler. And when you're a less creative version of the damn Riddler, you could probably be defeated by a blown dandelion seed, some soggy toilet paper or even (in extreme cases) the actual Gotham Police Department.
Calendar Man is widely regarded as the worst Batman villain of all time, and let's face it, that's saying something. In final proof of sheer mental incompetence, he joined a group called the Misfits who decided to join forces in order to raise their profile. That's right, in a world where crime only exists because Batman can only punch a finite number of criminals per second, these guys wanted to get noticed. Listen pal, if you're walking around dressed like that and people are still ignoring you, take the hint.
#2. Wolverine Vs. Magneto
Don't worry, the X-Men haven't suddenly become a Japanese tentacle fetish comic (though that'd be far from the worst thing they've ever done), it's just Wolverine losing a fight. Boy, who could have seen the outcome of this one coming? A man with a metal skeleton attacks someone who can exert absolute power over metal?
In fact, in the entire run up to this situation, nobody realized this might be an issue. Magneto didn't just appear in the X-Man mansion one day and start menacing people with the silverware, he's been their primary villain for decades, and not once did somebody turn to Logan and go "You know, the way he could turn you inside out with his mind might give him an unfair advantage. You might want to stay the fuck away from that guy."
#1. Dazzler Vs. Dr. Doom
Dazzler wore a shiny plunging neckline, could convert sound into light and roller skated. Awesome powers for a techno DJ, not so awesome for a superhero. The most incredible overestimation of her powers occured when she fought Dr. Doom, at which point the writer had to pretend that wasn't insane for like three solid pages.
Her plan was to kill one of the most powerful villains in the world, one wearing an armored metal suit, by first building up maximum momentum on her skates. This was the equivalent to a dessert chef declaring "In order to eat Mount Everest, I will have to use my LARGEST souffle spoon!"
She follows up with a dazzling light show, presumably hoping Doom is secretly epileptic. He puts up with this nonsense for approximately two seconds before electrocuting the entire room and capturing her until the Fantastic Four bail her out.
That's right, Dazzler loses to Doom in her own comic, and this is Dr. Doom we're talking about. It's his job to act as a maniacal chrome punching bag for basically anybody capable of putting on a cape. When you can't triumph over a man once defeated by Squirrel Girl it's probably time to find another career.

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a monoidal model category in the sense of Hovey's book. He assumes the following unit axiom not considered in other references (e.g. Schwede-Shipley): given a cofibrant replacement of the monoidal unit $q\colon QI\stackrel{\sim}\rightarrow I$ and a cofibrant object $X$, the morphisms $q\otimes X$ and $X\otimes q$ are weak equivalences.
This axiom obviously holds if $I$ is cofibrant. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, a stronger version holds in all examples I know: $q\otimes X$ and $X\otimes q$ are weak equivalences for any $X$.
Does any of you know any example where this stronger version is false? Is it always true under some 'standard' assumptions on $\mathcal{C}$?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The Windows Installer (WUBI) avoids partitioning the hard drive by creating a virtual partition as a big file inside the Windows partition. It also allows uninstalling Ubuntu in the same way one would uninstall a Windows application.
An WUBI install of Ubuntu depends on components of Windows for (a) installation, (b) during booting to Ubuntu, (c) and for uninstallation.
So if you erase (or uninstall) Windows after installing Ubuntu using WUBI, then Ubuntu will not work.
Create a Live USB/DVD and boot from it. Instructions for burning an Ubuntu installation DVD are here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-windows.
Choose "Try Ubuntu" first and make sure everything (sounds, graphics, Internet) works.
Click on the Install button if you are satisfied. You will be given a choice to erase Windows.
Warning: This choice will erase all the existing partitions, C: D: etc. and all the data (songs, pictures, etc.). Make backup copies of all the valuable data in an external drive, DVD or some such things before trying to install Ubuntu.
Hope this helps

Do you know of any systems such as mind maps or flash cards for taking notes while reading technical/programming textbooks?
For example, after reading two chapters of a dense textbook and taking a 1 week break, how can I get back into the flow of the material I was studying before the break.
The solution I'm pondering is to write a summary of every subsection of the chapters being read but I don't know if this is an efficient solution.

In Fiasco, dice are used for several different things. During the actual play, they are used to signify whether or not a scene ends well or poorly for the character based on the die colour. For each player present, 2 white and 2 black dice are added to the communal dice pool. As a scene plays out, a single die is picked from the pool, where white is good and black is bad. The last die is 'wild', meaning it can signify any outcome.
Often, all dice of a particular colour will be expended before the end, which means all remaining scenes will either end well, or poorly. Needless to say, knowing how the scene ends before it even begins takes a lot of drama out of the game. It also ruins the whole point of resolution control: choosing between framing the scene and letting other players pick its ending, or allowing them to set it up and picking its resolution.
While it's possible to keep an eye out on the expenditure of dice in an attempt to keep it even, this introduces further constraints. Why is there this mechanic? The only reason I can think of is pacing.

What are the standard methods to price american call/put options on illiquid underlyings?
For a non-listed company you usually have a poor idea of the share value. If you do not know the underlying price it is impossible to accurately estimate the option price.
So, for cases like this, people typically analyze the options on a risk/reward basis, using similar scenario analyses to those used to analyze the cashflows, assets and other components of the firm valuation.
Here are some practical application for trading illiquid names:
For pricing/forecasting: You still still calculate fair volatility using stock print data. In an illiquid stock and there's a large open interest in the market where professional traders are long, vol might diminish since when stock goes up(down), all the vol traders would be selling(buying) stock to gamma scalp and thus diminish vol.
For quoting: You quote width for options should be correlated with the average width of the stock market. For example: for a 50d call, you would quote 0.3 - 0.32 when stock is: 1.00 - 1.01. In the case where market is wider for stock say 1.00 - 1.05 you should only be willing to quote 0.3 - 0.34. This is because in the first case, when someone lifts your .32 offer, you can buy 1.01 to hedge but in the latter case, you can only buy 1.05.

Safe, quick, economical and easy shopping with Amazon!
A review by setufe written on Jan 16, 2012Full review
I have had wonderful transactions with Amazon. I have run into two instances out of several purchases where the items were damaged/did not work and I was allowed to send back with free shipping. Items come when promised and are packaged well. If the items are sent via UPS, which most of them are, tracking is a breeze. You know exactly where your item is at all times.
I have ordered numerous items from Amazon--watches, clothing, toys, a comforter, a pillow-top mattress, shoes, books, rings, display solar system, utencils, flatware, cookware, baby safety gates, food items, toothbrush replacement heads, a vacuum, a carpet cleaner, a steam cleaner, tools, a phone jack, phones, educational toys, growth charts, a baby swing, vitamins, a bottle brush cleaner, a baby carrier, a nursing cover, laundry detergent, a heating pad, a nose trimmer and furniture. These purchases were just for 2011. My purchasing history goes way far back with Amazon.
What I do to ensure a good transaction: 1) Read reviews and study the negatives. Check whether there are similarities amongst the negative reviews. If people say the same thing about a product, chances are that it's deficient. 2) Study the pictures by zooming in. Check the quality of the item. 3) Read the product descriptions. If the product description is a bit vague, it may indicate that the seller does not take pride in his/her items for sale.
If an item looks remotely "bad," I won't get it. I also weigh out why a review was ranked so low because some people will review the seller rather than the item and the ratings become inaccurate. It's good to know about shipping and such, but the real intent on the ratings is to guage whether the product performs according to the seller's promises.
Best of luck!

Columbia College will hold its winter commencement ceremony at noon Saturday, Dec. 19 at the Southwell Complex, 700 Rangeline Road, just north of Rogers Street on the Columbia College main campus.
President Gerald Brouder will confer degrees to a total of 388 students. Of that number, 85 associate degrees will be awarded, 272 bachelor's degrees and 31 master's degrees.
"Commencement is always exciting as students come to the main campus from throughout Missouri, but we have graduates from across the nation as well," Brouder said. "In fact, we are proud that we were able to provide an education to a student from Columbia even as he served his country in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."
Navy Petty Officer First Class, Master at Arms Brant Baylis graduates with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration. Baylis graduated from Rock Bridge High School in 1995, where he played outside linebacker. He also played safety for Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Mo. He joined the Navy in 2000. Baylis was first sent to Guantanamo in 2005, where he found Columbia College.
"It just seemed to be destiny," Baylis said. "There I was, thousands of miles from home, and there was the same college. I just started knocking the classes out." He received an associate degree in 2008.
In addition to Baylis, other graduates hail from the Missouri campuses in Jefferson City, Kansas City, Moberly, Christian County, Lake Ozark, St. Louis, Rolla and Kansas City. Of the 18 Columbia College campuses on military bases, the following campuses also have December graduates: Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. and Whidbey Island, Wash.
Dr. Chris Belcher, superintendent of Columbia Public Schools, will be the commencement speaker. Belcher has 26 years of education experience in Missouri schools, having served in various teaching and administrative positions. He also served as associate professor of secondary education at the University of Central Missouri.
Columbia College, a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates more than 26,000 students each year and has more than 64,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

- abstract
To expand our knowledge about an appropriate anti-terror strategy, it is indispensable to assess the underlying causes of terror. We examine social and economic conditions in the country of origin of terrorist attacks, claiming that low opportunity costs of terror, e.g. approximated as slow growth and poor institutions raise the propensity of terror and the willingness in the population to support terror. Using a mixed effects Poisson regression model, we are able to show that unfortunate socio-economic conditions in a country are suitable to reduce the opportunity cost for potential terrorists and increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks originating from a specific country. Interestingly, this effect is relevant after a certain level of development has been reached. We therefore distinguish between the OECD, Europe and Islamic countries.

I was doing calculations with torque and then I came across something very confusing:
I understand that the magnitude of the torque is given by product of the displacement(from the center of rotation) at a point and the force applied at that point. This magnitude perhaps, says something about how "powerful" the rotation is. The question that confuses me, however, is what does the direction of the cross product tell? The direction is perpendicular both to the force and the displacement. What really is this the direction of?

Take a natural number's prime factors and list them increasingly and repeating them according to multiplicity. Concatenate their decimal (or in any base) representation to get a new number and repeat the process. Does this always end in a prime number for any input?
It's open problem, sequence A037274 from OEIS, so-called "home primes". Hm, the value for n=77 is even unknown.
P.S. On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences definitely should be included in FAQ.
Is too long for comment: $\ddot\smile$
Although in this specific example there is still a chance to arrive at a prime number, the heuristic is against this conclusion as the length of record increases while prime numbers appear "rarer".

Charting API changes from M1->M2
In this thread http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63970
GSlender announced "Charting will also have breaking changes between M1 and M2 ;-)"
I'm working on a project (GXT2.0M1) where our next step is to implement charting facilities, but we don't wanna do this if the changes are too many.
So can you tell a little bit more about the changes ? Will it be total waste of time to start with M1 ??
Best Regards
4 May 2009 4:38 AM #2
The ChartModel class was changed. The changes are already in SVN.
There will be more braking changes between M1 and M2.

I have a very large content database & need to split it. Is it possible to split a content database within a site collection? or I need to create a new site collection?
It is not possible to have multiple content databases service a single site collection. You would need to find a way to actually migrate the content from your one site collection to multiple site collections.
In situations where there is a single site collection that holds a bunch of sub-sites, such as in an Intranet scenario, I would look at moving the sub-site content to individual site collections for those departments.
In situations where you are doing large scale document management, I would look to use something like the Content Organizer to move the content to a series of back end site collections and content databases and then provide easy search and content roll up features to make the experience as easy and transparent as possible.
To handle the content moves required for either scenario you could either:
You could not split the site collection into multiple content databases.
You can only move your site collection to a new content DB, or export sub sites and make them a new site collection.

We are trying to remove an electrical outlet. We turned the power off and disconnected the wires from the outlet. Then we twisted the + wires and tapped them and did the same with the - wires. Then we covered up the hole. When we turned the power back on the other outlets on the circuit they failed to work. Did we do something wrong?
It sounds you caused a short circuit by wiring the hot and neutral together. You created a circuit with no electrical resistance so the breaker pops to prevent you from melting the wires and burning down your house.
Cap each wire that you removed separately unless they were already joined together. Once the outlet is removed and everything is safely capped and covered, remember that the cover plate must remain exposed and you cannot patch over the box.
If you are unsure of how to rectify this, you are best to call an electrician.
You simply need to convert the outlet into a
That way the receptacle continues transmitting the current without actually acting as a power outlet
Amphibient's solution is perfect. However a couple of pointers. It is both illegal and unsafe to permanently cover up a junction box by, for instance, sheet rocking over it. This can cause endless problems if a wiring problem requires troubleshooting and if something should go wrong you might end up with a fire.
Also the code requires a receptacle every 12 feet and within 6' of a door in a residence (not in commercial offices). This is to discourage the use of extension cords and has been a code requirement for decades.
Although not illegal the same applies if you put a heavy piece of furniture such as a loaded book case in front of it.
Make sure the wirenuts are very tight to avoid future problems and do not clip the wires short.

I just wonder what is the biggest trouble developers encounter when debugging? I can think of three answers but I am not sure whether they are correct:
- Trouble in locating the bug? But most of the times the crash stack traces can provide enough info in locating the bug.
- Trouble in figuring out the reason and fixing the bug? But if you can locate the bug, then probably you got the rough idea of how to fix it.
- Trouble in applying the fix? Probably, some tricky bugs force developers to make changes in a lot of places, thus breaking the structure/design of the original program. But I'm not sure whether this is a trouble.
This question may be too general, but I'll be happy if I can get some feedbacks from you guys. Also, if you have other troubles in debugging please point out. Thank you a lot!

Kevin Miller XI Productions Inc./Associated Press
Kevin Miller XI Productions Inc./Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. � How can a loving God send people, even bad people, to a place of eternal torment? A new documentary struggles with questions of punishment and redemption and how culture affects and shapes Christian beliefs about God and the Bible.
Coming in the wake of controversy over Rob Bell�s 2011 hell-questioning book Love Wins, which put hell on the cover of Time magazine, and treading some of the same ground, filmmaker Kevin Miller believes the debate about the nature of hell is not academic.
In an interview after a Nashville screening of �Hellbound?� Miller said he believes our ideas about hell have a real-world effect on the way we live our lives and the way we relate to others.
Perhaps popular theologian Brian McLaren best expresses that thought in the movie when he says, �If I believe that a small percentage of human beings were created to enjoy bliss eternally and another group of beings were created to experience eternal conscious torment, then I look at human beings differently than if I say, �Every human being was made in the image of God. Every human being is beloved by God. God is at work to save every human being.��
McLaren�s position is contrasted with that of Seattle megachurch pastor Mark Driscoll, who explains that, in his view, �God created the world and people chose to rebel against him. And God came and died to save some of them from the death they deserve.�
Mainstream Christianity, especially evangelical Christianity, tends to promote some version of that view, which includes the idea of hell as eternal torment.
Miller briefly mentions the view that those unsaved by Jesus will simply perish, called annihilationism. But the filmmaker seems to lean toward a view that holds out hope that hell exists but may not be eternal � that God wants to be reconciled to all people, and that the reconciliation can happen even after death.
Bell was called heretical by some critics for promoting a similar view in Love Wins.
In the film, Missouri�s International House of Prayer Director Mike Bickle says to promote the idea that the grace of God is available in hell, or universalism, �is the worst crime that a preacher of the Gospel could say to the world.�
But Miller seeks to show that the view is not out of line with Christian tradition.
Catholic apologist Peter Kreeft says the Catholic church leaves the question somewhat open.
�That there is a hell and that anyone can go there by their free choice, that�s dogma,� he says. �That there�s anybody in it and how many people are in it, nobody knows.�
Orthodox Archbishop Lazar Puhalo emphatically asserts, �God doesn�t send anybody to hell. God doesn�t punish anybody, either in this world or the world to come.�
In his view, �hell is a condition, not a place. The malice we feel is the fire that burns.�
Miller bookends the film around the Sept. 11 tragedy, saying events such as the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center are the reason people need to believe in hell as a place of punishment for bad people, such as Osama bin Laden or Adolf Hitler.
But Christian author Brad Jersak reminds the audience that common Christian belief teaches that Hitler isn�t the only one going to hell.
�If we�re strict infernalists, the victims of Auschwitz who didn�t have their names written in the book of life go right from Hitler�s flames into God�s flames, forever and ever and ever,� he says.
Miller is from Canada, but his religious upbringing probably would be more common for an American. He calls himself a recovering fundamentalist, although he said has great respect for the �ladies who put their heart and soul� into teaching him about the Bible.
He grew up in the mainline United Church of Canada but joined the Mennonite church as teenager. He went to a Mennonite Bible college and spent some time in an interdenominational seminary. He attended several nondenominational evangelical churches before becoming an Anglican.
Miller said he considers himself a sophisticated reader of the Bible but never gave much thought to hell before he edited a book on the subject several years ago.
The controversy surrounding Bell�s Love Wins helped him frame the debate for the movie and some of the interview subjects are Bell�s most significant critics and supporters.
Miller says his film is primarily aimed at a religious audience.
�A growing number of people are increasingly uncomfortable with the notion of a God who calls us to love our enemies but who will one day vanquish his enemies to hell,� he said in an interview. �People sense the contradiction but think that the only way to resolve it is to leave Christianity.�
�Hellbound?� opens in New York City on Friday.

(WIBW) - People can view a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon Tuesday night.
It's called the transit of Venus, when the planet Venus moves between the earth and sun. It will appear as a small, black dot moving across the sun. In northeast Kansas, it will begin to be visible at 5:50 pm and continue for several hours.
People will need special solar glasses in order to safety get a glimpse of the event. Several locations, including Wolfes Camera and Video in downtown Topeka and Denison State Bank locations are selling them for $2. Lifetime Eye Care in Holton underwrote the cost of the glasses so that all proceeds will benefit the Banner Creek Science Center in Holton.
Banner Creek Science Center, 22275 N Road in Holton, will be open beginning at 4 pm Tuesday so people may observe the rare event. Telescopes and glasses will be available at the science center.
The transit of Venus won't happen again for 105 years.
To get to the science center, go west on Hiway 16 past the entrance to the reservoir to N Road. Turn left at N road and go approximately ¾ ofa mile. You will see the gravel road on the west side of the road and the center is located on the top of the hill.

PITTSBURGH - The smoke and clamor of a ravaging war on the human emotions has cleared from Pittsburgh's Benedum Center, where audiences were recently stormed by a gargantuan reinvention of the beloved Alain Boubil and Claude-Michel Schonberg musical retelling of Victor Hugo's classic tale, "Les Miserables."
The 25th anniversary restaging, featuring an arsenal of new design and directional elements, remained true to the emotional potency synonymous with previous professional productions of the celebrated musical.
Emerging into the bright new world of liberty after 19 years of brutal imprisonment for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving sister, her child and himself, prisoner 24601, encumbered by his yellow ticket-of-leave, which brands him as a criminal, finds himself at the mercy of a world unwilling to embrace his existence. When his journey as a free man leads him in the path of a compassionate bishop - the hardened former convict Jean Valjean - though initially discourteous toward the holy man's genuine respect of him, is compelled by strength greater than his own deep-seated bitterness and distrust of humanity to transform his own life and the lives of those he encounters.
Undertaking the enormously complex central character, Peter Lockyer's Jean Valjean began his journey as a potently and sympathetically dehumanized and bitter man, who through the restoration of his faith in mankind and his newfound faith in God, transformed into a man of complete compassion. Lockyer's vocal performance further enriched his satisfying portrayal. His most remarkable musical expression came as his Valjean gently breathed a prayer of protection over his beloved Cosette's love, Marius, in the renowned ballad "Bring Him Home."
A decidedly subtle yet magnificently ominous air resonated through Andrew Varela's Javert. Crowning Varela's performance was his strikingly rich singing voice, which proved especially magnificent as he delivered Javert's resolute, self-driven pledge to recapture Valjean in "Stars."
As Fantine, a worker in Valjean's factory who endures supreme desecrating methods of ensuring income to send to the guardians of her sickly young daughter Cosette, Genevieve LeClerc exuded a constant warmth and tenderness. LeClerc's rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" emitted an undeniably powerful sensation of endearing gentleness, while her interpretation of Fantine's delusional deathbed lullaby to her faraway Cosette aroused immense sorrow.
The playful shoving and teasing of Briana Carlson-Goodman's Eponine, a young street waif unrequitedly affectionate toward Marius, a young French Revolutionary student smitten by Cosette, brought a winsome and touching quality to her characterization. Her performance of Eponine's signature ballad "On My Own" brimmed with passion and was peppered by Carlson-Goodman's unique pop-influenced approach, which though executed well, was not necessary to her role or to the highly romantic love song; while her duet "A Little Fall of Rain," with Devin Ilaw's nurturing Marius, commanded profound exertion on one's tear ducts.
Alone, Ilaw's boyishly tender Marius was an absolute delight. His soft tenor voice beautifully lent itself to such romantic songs as "In My Life" and "A Heart Full of Love," combining in both numbers Carlson-Goodman and Lauren Wiley's extremely delicate and gracefully voiced Cosette. Ilaw also displayed an astounding vocal depth in Marius' lamenting ballad "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables," in which the young man mourns the deaths of his fellow Revolutionary school friends.
And, Jason Forbach as Enjolras, the revolutionary students' fearless and totally dedicated leader, exuded a very pleasing combination of innate courage and paternal understanding. Forbach also lent superb vocals to such songs as "Do You Hear the People Sing?"
In contrast with previous productions of "Les Miserables," very little is available to assuage the oppressive atmosphere that pervades throughout the grand tale. Monsieur and Madame Thenardier, who usually afford the musical the greatest deal of laughter through their greedy misdeeds, particularly in their powerhouse number "Master of the House," only garnered brief chuckles in this production.
The interpretation of the comical song in this production was noticeably bawdy and was performed stiffly by Timothy Gulan, whose Monsieur Thenardier was quite sadistic on the whole; and by Shawna M. Hamic, whose mockingly toned Madame Thenardier received the most laughs, despite Hamic's sometimes repetitive and overdone gestures. Joseph Spieldenner's perpetually inebriated revolutionary student, Grantaire, was particularly comical while he teased Marius about his rapturous romantic outpourings; however, an occasional outstanding sensation of pitiable fearfulness evoked a sense of sobering sadness throughout his portrayal.
The most noticeable difference between previous productions of the musical and this revised staging was the set design.
Adorning the sides of the stage were two utterly drab-textured balconies with connected passageways underneath, serving various purposes throughout the production. The occasional entrance of two mammoth moveable pieces of scenery, which converged to create massive buildings, formulated a heart-racing sense of claustrophobia and exuded an overwhelming sense of poverty and filth, especially throughout the musical's dismal street scenes.
However, the grandest revision of all came in the form of projections, which gave several of the musical's locales a realistic sense of depth.
At times, these projections even moved, particularly as the actors progressed away from them, such as when Valjean traverses the vast and murky sewers with the wounded Marius, and as the determined gang of revolutionaries march proudly down a Paris street during Act One's triumphant finale "One Day More."
Though aesthetically different from other professional productions of "Les Miserables" in an assortment of ways, and despite its occasional unclearness in direction and plot execution, and its rushed tempos and noticeable re-orchestrations, this production delivered the intense emotional power and the all-encompassing melodiousness expected of a "Les Miserables" production. The reconceived production most assuredly, in Marius' love-struck words, "struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight."
