|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-4587) Add tools for improved analysis and understanding of query plans and execution statistics
|Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:46:27 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12850713#action_12850713 ] Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-4587: ---------------------------------------- I think these sound like great ideas. I think it would be good to work on this incrementally, starting with a fairly simple stylesheet and then improving it. I think this approach could be prototyped to show its feasibility, by doing something along the lines of: 1) Capture a fairly simple query plan, for example capture the query plan for: select from cities where city_name = 'New Orleans'; 2) By hand, convert that captured query plan to an XML format using your text editor 3) Develop a simple XSLT stylesheet which can display some of the basic query plan information 4) Attach the original query plan, the XML formatted plan, and the stylesheet, so that the community can see a sample of your ideas. > Add tools for improved analysis and understanding of query plans and execution statistics > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-4587 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4587 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL, Tools > Reporter: Bryan Pendleton > Assignee: Bryan Pendleton > Attachments: PostgreSQL license.jpg > > > I think it would be great to see some work in the area of tools for helping > with the analysis of complex query execution.

Following the announcement that AWE has been appointed as the URC International Hub for stock, training and technical support, the leading CI distributor has expanded its offering with the introduction of a new control system, URC MX HomePro.
Simple, reliable and powerful, the new URC MX HomePro is a cloud-based smart home control system that is a great starting point for customers looking for single room AV control. The MX HomePro, which incorporates a smart hub, remote control and mobile app, is extremely quick and easy to install and programme. Not a DIY product, nor a high-end system, this new range fills a gap in the market for an affordable professionally installed solution.
The URC MX HomePro offers users one-touch control of home entertainment and IoT devices including lighting, thermostats, security cameras and Z-Wave® products. The compact H500 smart hub and remote control, which features a two-inch colour LCD screen, connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The free to download MX HomePro App offers on-touch system control at home or on the go, and can control multiple locations from a single smart device.
For the installer, this system is extremely easy to programme and monitor. The MX HomePro offers dealers simple, web-based programming via PC, Mac or mobile, and allows for servicing to be managed remotely. Limited training is required for the URC HomePro system, which means the installers can spend more time out on the road, selling and installing products.

First Year Courses
Required Courses
Quantitative Genetics Applications of Matrix AlgebraThe goal of this course is development of skills in matrix algebra to describe and solve problems in the agricultural and life sciences, with particular focus on quantitative genetics. As such, the course is designed for students with no prior knowledge of matrix algebra. It will consider the vocabulary, concepts, application and, to a lesser extent, theory of matrix algebra that is relevant to graduate students in the agricultural and life sciences.
Primer to Quantitative GeneticsThe goal of this course is provide students with an introduction to the language and basic principles of quantitative genetics. Its purpose is to develop foundational knowledge in students entering a graduate program in animal breeding and genetics. Topics included will be the basic model for quantitative genetics (additive and non-additive genetic effects, including Mendelian sampling, and environmental effects), sources of variation, heritability, family resemblance and repeatability, selection response, and family selection. Expected values and concepts in applied statistics (e.g., linear regression) will also be considered.
Selection Index Theory and ApplicationThe overall goal of this course is to increase your skills and knowledge related to the design of animal breeding programs. The focus will be on the application of index theory to the definition of breeding objectives in animal agriculture. The course will also introduce approaches for deriving economic weights, which are useful when predicting economic response to selection.
Economic Breeding ProgramsEconomic selection indexes depend on relative economic values to derive a measure of merit. The focus of this course is to provide background in system analysis techniques needed to derive sensible estimates of the relative economic values and apply them, particularly in indexes composed of estimated breeding values.
Elective Courses
CyberSheep: A Genetic Simulation GameThe overarching goal of this course is for students to be able to make informed and effective decisions in a livestock breeding program. In order to accomplish this goal, the course will provide "hands-on" experience with selection and mating decisions, and their consequences. The vehicle for this instruction is "CyberSheep," a web-based genetic simulation game played by teams of students. The genetic gains achieved in livestock breeding programs have the advantages of being permanent, cumulative and, in most cases, highly cost effective. Still, such gains require time to achieve; in the course of an academic degree, let alone a semester or quarter, there is very little opportunity for students to witness the consequences of breeding decisions in any of our livestock species. Thus, CyberSheep is designed to offer students a virtual opportunity to "see," in real-time, the outcome of your decision-making, and to experience the stochastic (chance) elements of a breeding program.
History and Perspectives in Animal Breeding and GeneticsThe goal of this course is provide students with a historical perspective of the discipline of Animal Breeding and Genetics and an appreciation for the contributions of several scientists that have significantly impacted the discipline. Weekly lectures will consist of pre-recorded interviews with scientists that have had an international impact in the field of animal breeding and genetics.
Heterosis and Crossbreeding SystemsStudents completing this course will be able to evaluate and compare various crossbreeding mating schemes through predicted performance of the potential progeny and overall system performance. An introduction into selection within the parameters of the crossbreeding system will also be discussed.
Introduction to R ProgrammingThe goal of this course is to familiarize students the R environment for statistical computing. Part of the course will be devoted to the use of R as a high-level programming language and a gateway for more formal low-level languages. No prior exposure to the language is necessary.

Fish, White Dish & Red Cloth
Green Gallery | Scottish contemporary painting
Claire MacLellan
Following a career in exhibition management , my first and over-riding love of colour and paint led me to study locally with an inspirational tutor and at the Glasgow School of Art. I meet weekly with a group of artists to paint, draw and visit exhibitions together.
My home and studio overlook Loch Lomond where I have lived for 30 years with my family and dogs. Inspiration comes from the things I see everyday – my work reflects repeated themes of familiar woodland paths and fields, Loch Lomond's energetic landscape and much loved objects in still life. Capturing restless clouds, gin clear skies, dramatic sunsets and inky moon lit darkness are a never-ending challenge and joy. Daily dog walks are always armed with a sketch book for anything that catches my eye. Annual west coast holidays also offer time to observe the weather, sea and magical soft light.
Working predominantly in oil on board and pastel on thick card, I have exhibited at The Green Gallery, The Glasgow Art Club, Glasgow Lighthouse, Inverbeg Gallery and locally with my group. I have sold work for the RNLI and Marie Curie and recently completed a 12 piece commission for a new Loch-side house. My private commissions hang all over the UK from Orkney to Wales and London.

Article 31(2)
Rule 4
10.017. Who may file a demand for international preliminary examination? What indications are required? If there is a sole applicant, he must be a resident or national of a Contracting State bound by Chapter II of the PCT. If there are two or more applicants, it is sufficient that one of them be a resident or national of a Contracting State bound by Chapter II, regardless of the elected State(s) for which each applicant is indicated. The detailed requirements for the various indications required in connection with each applicant (full names and addresses, telephone, facsimile and/or e-mail address, nationality and residence) are the same as those required under Rule 4 in connection with the request (see paragraphs 5.023 to 5.034). Where the applicant is registered with the International Preliminary Examining Authority, the number or other indication under which the applicant is so registered may also be indicated in Box No. II. Note that any inventor who is not also an applicant is not indicated in the demand. Where a question of the applicant's residence or nationality arises, the International Preliminary Examining Authority will request the receiving Office or, where the international application was filed with the International Bureau as receiving Office, the national Office of, or acting for, the Contracting State concerned to decide the question and will inform the applicant of such request. The applicant has the opportunity to submit arguments relating to the issue of residence or nationality directly to the Office concerned, which will decide the question promptly.

Ditch bottled water for the environment
5 Comments »
Yeah, we stopped with the bottled water a couple of years ago. We use reusable bottles.
Incidentally – we live in Michigan where you pay a 10-cent deposit on every can and bottle when you buy your drinks at the store. So, a 12-pack of pop selling for $5 would really cost you $6.20. When you finish the drink, you take the containers back to the store and get your $1.20 back. A lot of people still throw their cans and bottles on the ground. The good thing is that homeless and little kids collect them for the money!
The thing is, they only do this for carbonated beverages – not water, juice, teas, etc. My husband was just talking about how absurd that is. They did this, initially for the litter problem, but it obviously doesn't help when the majority of the containers are exempt.
I remember when the whole bottled water craze hit and everyone was clamouring to be just like the celebs. I was sad to see it was one fad that stuck. I'm all for learning about water safety, but it turned into an eco-nightmare as everyone switched to disposable bottled water and stopped looking at water quality. One of the largest water brands sold is plain old tap water from a city near me that I would not consider one of the healthiest places to drink from. They certainly don't call it tap water, but that's what it is.
We filter out tap water and use glass or our Kleen Kanteens. We're fortunate enough to not have flouridated water here, too. I'm concerned about chemicals and hormones in the water, but I'm not sure any source that I would feel ecologically ethical about using wouldn't give me the same concerns.
We have a water filter too. Amazing what a difference it makes. you really can then tell how chlorinated normal tap water is compared to that. I have to admit I do occasionally buy a bottle but usually refill from filter tap for weeks. However have been meaning to get a pretty aluminium bottle there are some great ones around
We're lucky … we have excellent tap water so don't need a filter or anything. We have a couple of reusable bottles (my favorite is the Eco-Vessel which is insulated and prevents condensation on the outside of the bottle) and we've gotten in the habit of filling them and taking them with us whenever we leave the house. Both of them are stainless steel. It's amazing how much money one can spend on bottled water while traveling … not to mention the waste.
By the way … lovely model in the picture! 🙂

What is rosacea?
Acne rosacea, or more commonly referred to as rosacea, is a non-infectious skin inflammation of the face. The appearance caused by acne rosacea results in a permanent or intermittent flushed look to the skin, caused by the capillaries (blood vessels) enlarging.
It is possible to develop small pustules on the chin, forehead, nose and cheeks. However, unlike acne vulgaris, acne rosacea does not scar.
Rosacea, generally appears in more mature age groups, often between thirty and fifty years of age. A common 'warning' sign of this skin inflammation is the appearance of frequent flushing. If left unattended, rosacea may eventually result in permanent redness to the affected areas & thinning skin which results in premature ageing.
At the LSM Skincare Solutions Clinic we offer professional support, personalized programs with a natural approach to your skin health and redness. With over 17 years of focusing on skin problems, and having personally suffered from skin disorders, Marian is passionate and dedicated to helping you achieve the glowing and healthy skin you've always wanted.
Rosacea may appear in a mild form which is commonly characterized by redness, flushing, sensitivity or dryness directly on the nose. It is also possible to experience breakouts similar to acne vulgaris, while the skin may become coarser and thicker with a bumpy texture to the affected area.
It has been suggested that this form of rosacea is usually the result from a digestive inflammation in the stomach area, and is thought to be related to acid reflux. Alternative causes for rosacea may stem from ulcers, gastritis and Helicobacter pylori, while certain lifestyle stresses and hormonal menopause/andropause are also thought to be significant contributors.
Another form of Rosacea/redness typically presents with facial flushing, sensitivity, redness and dry skin. It may also occurr around the eyes, cheeks, forehead and temples. This particular type of rosacea has been suggested to have an origin from the small and large intestine becoming inflamed. The inflammation may be caused through diet such as gluten or dairy intolerance or sensitivity, Candidiasis, allergies or Irritable bowel syndrome.
Individual Natural Redness Reduction programs specifically designed for you
If you identify with one or more of these symptoms, you can rest assured the team at the LSM Skincare Solutions Clinic will work with you to provide a long lasting skin care regime and program, should you desire, that will personally be specific to your needs

Introduction To Designing an E commerce App
People's way of doing things changes as the time flies by. They don't seem to be as reluctant to shop online in 2017 as they used to back in 2010. With the inception of countless E commerce app or applications for smartphones, web E commerce portals are not the only way to shop online.
The worldwide sales through E commerce application are anticipated to touch $160 billion by the end of this year, opening up a number of opportunities for leading mobile app development companies in USA.
Even after increased appreciation of people to mobile E commerce app, not more than a few businesses seem to take this platform seriously. Statistics suggest that only 10% of online store owners actually go for a mobile app counterpart of their business.
Why Will People Go for Mobile Shopping in the Future?
People were tired of roaming around giant supermarkets for hours just to buy a few household items. As a result, they opted for online stores. Later, the life became more fast-paced and mobile devices were the best choices to order the products online. From a few million dollar, the mobile worldwide sales went up to billions and still growing.
Drawbacks of Mobile Devices
Mobile devices don't have as big of screens as desktops or laptops. On a regular website, you can enlist a brim of products without worrying about its increasing heaviness. In contrast, you don't have much space on mobile devices to put up everything. Also know the top 6 upcoming smartphones in 2018.
It should be easy for mobile shoppers to buy the things they want. Hence, cut up the long list of products to keep it from breaking down. It will not only keep your mobile website's load low but, at the same time, it will also help increase its response rate.
Your customers' onboarding and in-app experience define for how long it will survive in the cut-throat competition of the online world. Offer your users a quick tour when they first open your app. It will help them in getting familiar with the app.
Another aspect to take into consideration is optimizing your catalog's drop down list. Your website's drop down menu isn't going to work on mobile devices if not optimized. What works better on smartphones is a drop down menu covering the entire screen width. Hence, ask your mobile app development services to reconstruct the drop down menu.
Along with the aforesaid features, also make sure to keep your design time-saving. You aim should be to make navigation quick, saving your customer's time while keeping them on your app for long.

Van Morrison to Release New Album on Blue Note Records
Blue Note president Don Was calls the legendary singer "one of the greatest singer-songwriter-musicians of all time." Morrison's relationship with the label goes back to his 2003 Grammy-nominated release, "What's Wrong With This Picture?"
The legendary voice of Van Morrison is returning to Blue Note Records. The artist, whose classic albums include Astral Weeks, Moondance and Tupelo Honey, will release Born to Sing: No Plan B on Oct. 2, the label announced Tuesday.
Blue Note president Don Was calls Morrison "one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians of all time."
PHOTOS: The Beatles: Rare Photos Offer Inside Look at Fab Four
In his statement announcing the move, Morrison praises the label, which released his Grammy-nominated What's Wrong With This Picture? in 2003.
"With most record companies being so corporate I am happy to be working with Don Was and the team at Blue Note," he says. "To have such a creative music person as the head of my recording label assures me that all the effort taken to write and record this new album will be rewarded with a music-based focus and marketing approach."
STORY: Eric Church's 'Springsteen,' Taylor Swift's 'Tim McGraw' and 19 More Song Titles That Name-Check Famous People
Since the early 1990s when he ended his association with Mercury, Morrison has recorded for Polydor, Virgin and Lost Highway. His latest release, the 2009 concert album Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl, was released on his own Listen to the Lion imprint.
Born to Sing: No Plan B was produced by Morrison and recorded in his native Belfast, Northern Ireland.

For today's work ensemble, I put together a simple look of cropped cigarette pants, a fitted black blazer, and our Paisley Print top. I finished the look with nude flats, muted makeup and our Circle Drop earrings.
|Fitted Blazer from H&M, Top and Earrings from Sugar & Spikes
|Pants from H&M, Flats from Target
I seem to really be enjoying the nude trend lately, with traditional nude tones as well as the new nude - grey. While nude, like black, goes with anything, adding a pop of color can really elevate a look and take it into another direction.
3 Subtle Ways to Play with Color
Add a colorful lip.One of the easiest ways to add color to your look is through makeup. The most complementary colors to all skin tones are pretty reds and pinks, but bold purples and rich wines are beautiful too when worn correctly.
Don a colorful accessory.With a monochromatic or neutral-colored outfit, add intrigue and excitement with a boldly colored statement necklace or earrings.
Carry a colorful bag.Similar to accessories, adding a colorful clutch to a simple look ups the ante and adds additional drama to an otherwise subdued look. Take it a step further by choosing a bag with fun textures like fur or embellishments, as well as color, like our Burrr Faux Fur Clutch.
Leave a comment with ways you like to transform a neutral look.
Until next Tuesday loves!

Harley-Davidson hasn't been doing too well the past few years. According to recent financial reports (Fool, CNBC, Forbes), their once great stronghold on the US market, looks to be diminishing. In fact they have officially lowered their guidance from 269,000-274,000 motorcycles in 2016 to 264,000-269,000.
So what exactly is causing the decline in Harley Sales and market share? Well there's a few reasons.
1.) Victory and Indian are stealing market share with newer updated models, at a much lower price point.
2.) Harley is still demanding premium prices for their bikes.
3.) Worst of all, Harley's shipped reports are often "exaggerated". They're reporting on bikes shipped to the dealers, not bikes sold. So basically their dealers are getting filled to the brim with excess inventory that's not moving without serious incentives and discounts.
Will Harley be able to turn things around? It's not looking great unless they start doing some serious innovation and restructuring of their market strategy, as well as some more cost effective models. Where do you guys see Harley in the next 10 years?

Talk: President Thomas S. Monson - President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
As We Gather Once Again
- Meet to strengthen one another, to comfort, to build faith, to learn. Some are seeking answers to prayers.
- Should there be changes that need to be made in your life, may you have the courage to make them.
- Our presence is now felt throughout the world.
- No cause, no force in the entire world can stop the cause of God. "No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, until the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah will say, 'The work is done.'" - Joseph Smith (History of the Church, 4:540)

Looking at Serfdom there is a link to the excellent Wikipedia article to Brad De Longs Blog, he is I see from Wikipedia reckoned to be the 754th most influential economist in the World, He is a Professor at Berkely, where no less than two of my Former Business Partners are also Tenured Professors, also in The Economics Priesthood.
According to Wikipedia, he is a self-proclaimed Neo Liberal?
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Bradford_DeLong ) , served under Clintons Economics chief Summers and whilst he seems a thoroughly nice and well meaning chap he has no Clue, certainly no wish to draw any attention to having any clue as to Money Creation, more precisely endogenous money creation. He recommends this following article as a must read. I have to say it is dire and I have also commented as such in a Reddit discussion put up on the article here.
Making Monetary Policy Great Again
The Great Recession exposed the weaknesses of orthodox central banking. Time for a regime change.
When Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President in 1932, America had been in depression for three full years. Roosevelt was a man with a mandate to fix the economy by any means necessary. Barack Obama was elected in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Depression, yet his campaigns, against both Hillary Clinton and John McCain, were defined by other issues. Obama's pitch to voters was not chiefly a promise to save and remake the economy.
This article is also on Brad De Longs Blog. I have to say it is completely illiterate of Money Creation and as such commits the Error of all the Main Stream Economist, in short, its best quality is in demonstrating how the blind are leading the Blind:

The Question of Money and how it is most definitely not neutral is the subject on my New Novel, The Conquest of Dough.

The Causes of Slavery or Serfdom: A Hypothesis
Paul Krugman's post, Serfs Up!, reminds me of one of my major sins this spring (for which I must atone): my cutting Evsey Domar (1970), "The Causes of Slavery or Serfdom: A Hypothesis," Economic History Review 30:1 (March), pp. 18-32, from my spring 2003 Economics 210a reading list.
As Krugman summarizes Domar's main point:
Domar was motivated by his knowledge of Russian history. Serfdom in Russia, he knew, wasn't an institution that dated back to the Dark Ages. Instead, it was mainly a 16th-century creation, contemporaneous with the beginning of the great Russian expansion into the steppes. Why? He came up with a simple yet powerful insight: there's no point in enslaving or enserfing a man unless the wage you would have to pay him if he was free is substantially above the cost of feeding, housing, and clothing him.
Imagine a pre-industrial society where population is pressing on limited land supplies, and the marginal product of labor - and hence the real wage rate under competitive conditions - is barely at subsistence. In that case, why bother establishing property rights in human beings? It costs no more to hire a free worker than to feed an indentured laborer. Indeed, by 1300 - with Europe very much a Malthusian society - serfdom had withered away from lack of interest. But now suppose that for some reason land becomes abundant, and labor scarce. Then competition among landowners will tend to push up wages of free workers, and the ruling class will try, if it can, to pin peasants down and prevent them from bargaining for a higher standard of living. In Russia, it was all about gunpowder: suddenly steppe nomads were no longer so formidable, and the rich lands of the Ukraine were open for settlement. Serfdom was an effort to keep peasants from taking advantage of this situation. (And if I've got it right, those who were venturesome enough to run away and set up outside the system became Cossacks.)
Meanwhile, the New World opened in the west. Sure enough, the colonizing powers tried various forms of indentured servitude - making serfs of the Indians in Spanish territories, bringing over indentured servants in Virginia. But eventually they hit on a better solution, from their point of view: importing slaves from Africa...
Domar's contribution is truly one of the most effective and powerful pieces of synthetic social science I have ever read. It isn't perfect. He has more predecessors than he realizes (Marx, for example, especially Marx's observations on the Swan River Colony in Australia, and the whole section on primitive accumulation and the creation of agrarian capitalism in Britain). And Domar misses one big cause of serfdom and slavery. During the formation of the Roman Empire, in Poland at the end of the Middle Ages, and in the Caribbean islands during the early modern period, slavery and serfdom did not emerge because a high land-labor ratio meant that the ruling elite could not afford to bid for labor in a free labor market. Slavery and serfdom emerged, instead, because high demand for staple products (grain, sugar, tobacco...) greatly lowered the gap between the productivity of free and the productivity of bound workers. Staple production is easier for gang-bosses to monitor than more diversified farming. Staple production also has lower skill requirements for workers. When demand for staple products is very high--to feed the proletariat of imperial Rome, to feed the growing cities of late-Medieval Flanders, or to supply the cheap luxuries demanded by early modern England--slavery or serfdom can emerge even without an extraordinarily high land/labor ratio.
Serfdom is the status of many peasants under feudalism, specifically relating to manorialism. It was a condition of bondage, which developed primarily during the High Middle Ages in Europe and lasted in some countries until the mid-19th century.
Serfs who occupied a plot of land were required to work for the lord of the manor who owned that land. In return they were entitled to protection, justice, and the right to cultivate certain fields within the manor to maintain their own subsistence. Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also in his mines and forests and to labor to maintain roads. The manor formed the basic unit of feudal society, and the lord of the manor and the villeins, and to a certain extent serfs, were bound legally: by taxation in the case of the former, and economically and socially in the latter.
The decline of serfdom in Western Europe has sometimes been attributed to the widespread plague epidemic of the Black Death, which reached Europe in 1347 and caused massive fatalities, disrupting society.[1] The decline had begun before that date. Serfdom became increasingly rare in most of Western Europe after the Renaissance. But, conversely it grew stronger in Central and Eastern Europe, where it had previously been less common (this phenomenon was known as "later serfdom").
In Eastern Europe the institution persisted until the mid-19th century. In the Austrian Empire serfdom was abolished by the 1781 Serfdom Patent; corvée continued to exist until 1848. Serfdom was abolished in Russia in the 1860s.[2] In Finland, Norway and Sweden, feudalism was never fully established, and serfdom did not exist; however, serfdom-like institutions did exist in both Denmark (the stavnsbånd, from 1733 to 1788) and its vassal Iceland (the more restrictive vistarband, from 1490 until 1894).
According to Joseph R. Strayer, the concept of feudalism can also be applied to the societies of ancient Persia, ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt (Sixth to Twelfth dynasty), Muslim India, China (Zhou dynasty and end of Han dynasty) and Japan during the Shogunate. James Lee and Cameron Campbell describe the Chinese Qing dynasty (1644–1912) as also maintaining a form of serfdom.[3]
Melvyn Goldstein described Tibet as having had serfdom until 1959,[4][5] but whether or not the Tibetan form of peasant tenancy that qualified as serfdom was widespread is contested by other scholars.[6][7] Bhutan is described by Tashi Wangchuk, a Bhutanese civil servant, as having officially abolished serfdom by 1959, but he believes that less than or about 10% of poor peasants were in copyhold situations.[8]
The United Nations 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery also prohibits serfdom as a form of slavery.

Lucton News
Jolin / ChinaMy name in Jolin, I am Chinese. I'm 17 years old and in year 13 in the Sixth Form. I have a good friend here and I have been in Lucton for one year. Because of the good education I came to England to study. I think it will improve my English.
At Lucton School students come from different countries and we all speak English.
When I first came to Lucton School I felt very lonely. I could only talk to my friend Crystal because I was afraid of speaking English. I think the most difficult thing about studying in a foreign country is the language.
At first I hardly understood what the teacher said in class but now I am used to it and comprehension is much easier. At school everyone is nice and friendly.
My teachers and house parents all have helped me a lot to settle into my new school. Last year when I first came, I didn't like the food and I only ate a little but now I am used to it. I like the school life; it's wonderful and interesting. I really enjoy Boarding House life.
I think it is one big family. The house parents are amicable. At the weekends we go shopping, I love buying new clothes. I also catch up on my studies and do sports which I really enjoy.

Spotting someone who is faking sleep may be tricky, but with a little knowledge and by checking for a few key things you can tell if a person is really asleep.
Step 1
Listen to the breathing. Sleepers will typically take shallow, even, long breathes which can be difficult to fake, especially for an extended period of time.
Step 2
Check the person's pulse. Some sleepers are sensitive to touch and may wake up. Sleepers generally have a slow, even pulse although this can be thrown off if they are dreaming. Pulse rate is difficult to fake and would be a good indication of whether the person is asleep.
Step 3
Look at the eyelids to see if there is any rapid eye movement. Rapid eye movement is characterized by rapid movements of the eye beneath the eye lid, usually from side to side. The movements will be visible to an observer but you will need light to see them.
Step 4
Listen for snoring. If you know the sleeping habits of the person you will know if they snore and how it sounds. If he is pretending to sleep and faking snore, he would have a hard duplicating the sound. However, you might be able to distinguish his fake snore from the real thing.

Watercolor Note Card
Watercoloring is an easy way to bring a flush of color to embellish a card. Used on the front or inside the card, watercolor images are striking and can help to create the unique look of your signature design. Today we look at a way to create simple color coordination through watercolor pencils, with no-fail results. Add Watercolor Pencils to your project and you can have a fun craft that can be taken on the road for a relaxing moment.
Design Details
Feathery Friends Host Stamp
One package of Watercolor Pencils help take the guess work out of choosing colors that give success. With this coloring tool , Stampin Up has paired colors that coordinate with each other. Whether two colors or an entire pack are used together, they work. Feathery Friends stamp set is perfect for a watercoloring. With the whimsical images, the work is done and it's time to have fun choosing the colors and shades we like best.
Note Cards & Watercolor Pencils
Stampin' Up's set of Note Cards & Envelopes are made from a heavy enough paper to handle watercolor pencils. An Aqua painter or wet paint brush works well to activate the color. Once wet, the color spreads over the surface of the paper.
The bird was first stamped directly onto the Note Card with Archival ink. Once colored and dry, the Note Card can be folded and is ready to send to your loved one.
For a visual demonstration of these techniques, see the video below.

Garage Door Opener Buying Guide – How to Choose the Best
You definitely need to keep in mind the fact that selecting the most appropriate garage door opener (for example: MIGHTY MULE 502 ) is surely not going to be a walk in the park. There are just so many different things that the market offers and with the advancement of technology, it is easy to get lost in this great abundance of devices. However, you would have to properly pick the one that is tailor made for your garage door if you want to avoid any complications that would undeniably lead to some strong headache. This is due to the fact that if you purchase a model that is unfit for your garage door you are likely going to have to uninstall it completely and purchase a new one. And you are also very likely to have thrown a significant amount of money away. This is why you should keep an eye out for the things listed below.
- Try to find a device that is rather quiet. It is just something that would most likely bother most of the customers. You don't want your garage opener to raise a lot of noise because it would undeniably cause discomfort and irritation amongst your neighbors and amongst your family members.
- Another thing that you want to get right is the remote-control reliability. Now, this might sound a bit technical but to put it in simple words – if you have neighbors who also have garage openers, the signals of your remote controls are likely to overlay which would cause interference. So, in order to avoid this, you should be looking out for garage door openers with dual-frequency. This would allow your remote to automatically switch between two frequencies in order to properly reduce the interference.
- The rolling code security technology is something that is relatively modern and quite complex. This method would allow you to rest assured that burglars won't be able to electronically open your garage door. What it does is basically it would generate a new opening sequence every time you use your remote control. The garage door opener sets the new code out of millions of possibilities and sends the information to the remote which would trigger the opening process. So if burglars are to break in, they would have to guess a combination that is picked out of billion possibilities.
- Battery backup. Now, this is something that you should definitely aim to get. If it is not included in your garage door opener, you should ask for it to be added as an extra because it may be a lifesaver in certain situations. Generally, the garage door openers are operating with batteries or are plugged into the power source. However, if you run out of battery or if you are experiencing a power outage, you would literally be locked out or in your own garage. Imagine the inconvenience this might cause. With a battery backup, you would be able to open and close it for another 20-24 hours afterward.
- Another thing that you want to keep an eye out for is the overhead lights. Make sure that you buy a device that allows you to control the lights independently of the opening and closing process of the door. Some of the advanced garage door openers would be equipped with a motion sensor that would light up the place when a movement is detected.
All of this is regarding the specifications that you might consider getting. However, there are some absolute musts that you should undeniably take into serious consideration before going out and purchasing a garage door opener.
- How powerful a motor do you need?
- This depends on the size and the weight of your door. As you might have already figured heavier doors are going to require more lifting power in order to get opened. This is why you should consider buying a motor that offers you at least 1/2 horsepower if you have a heavy residential garage door. However, if you are using a lighter version you shouldn't necessarily buy a less powerful motor because it wouldn't matter much. On the other hand, there are also motors that offer up to 1 and 1/4 horsepower and they are designated for significantly heavier doors.
- What are the sizes of your door?
- Most of the garage doors are designated to handle standard 7-foot tall garage doors. However, there are extension kits that would allow you to use them for taller doors. You should expect to pay an additional amount of money for the kit, but if you got to do it there is no other way around.
- Do not overlook security and safety
- After all, security and safety must come first at all times. This is due to the fact that the most important purpose of a garage door is to keep the belongings inside out of the reach of burglars. Therefore, you should aim to get a device that would provide you with the highest amount of security features. You should always take into account safety matters. For instance, you surely wouldn't want your garage door to slam on your car while you are parking because it got the wrong signal from your remote. Imagine if your pet or kid is under it while this happens. Aim for doors that have automatic reverse functions combined with sensors that would inform the device if there is something underneath the door.
- The truth is that this kind of technology would allow you to also implement an abundance of features for additional security, safety as well as convenience. For instance, you are also able to implement a HomeLink system that would allow you to operate the garage door right from the dash. However, keep in mind that some of the older cars might cause you nasty problems because the protocols of the system have altered over the years.
In any case, the benefits of a garage door opener are undeniable. They surely bring a great deal of assets to the table. The sole fact that you would be completely able to open your garage door without having to get out of the car in order to unlock it is enough reason to consider purchasing such a device. The most advanced models are incredibly quiet and if installed properly you would only hear the slightest sound of the door moving on the rails or being lift up.
Nevertheless, purchasing the right model could be quite a bother. Therefore, before going out to shop for it, make sure that you have done your homework. Measure the size of your door and figure out how heavy it is in order to get the model with the right capabilities. The last thing you want is to buy a device that wouldn't be able to lift your door up because the motor is not powerful enough. This buying guide is specifically designated to provide you with all the information you are going to need in order to make an informed and concise choice so make sure to go over it on a quick glance and find out for yourself what you would be looking for.

Imagine the Possibilities Together
Xavier Health is an outreach organization within Xavier University that works directly with the FDA, pharmaceutical industry, and medical device industry. The Artificial Intelligence Initiative includes the work Xavier Health is doing with FDA and industry.
Through Xavier University, FDA officials and industry professionals will work collaboratively to advance the pharmaceutical and medical device industries by augmenting human decisions with artificial intelligence such that decisions are more informed. The use of artificial intelligence will move the industry from reactive to proactive, then from proactive to predictive, and finally from predictive to prescriptive such that actions are right-first-time. Through the Xavier Artificial Intelligence Initiative, the industry will increase patient safety by ensuring the consistency of product quality.
The Xavier Artificial Intelligence Initiative will engage pharmaceutical and medical device professionals, and FDA officials to identify ways to implement artificial intelligence across quality operations, regulatory affairs and supply chain operations. This scope may be expanded upon Core Team approval.
The output generated through the Xavier Artificial Intelligence Initiative will be made available for free and open access to industry professionals and FDA officials. Working Teams established annually during the Xavier AI Summit will determine the type of output that will be generated to best support the challenge being addressed. Examples of output could include:
- "Decision trees" that expert humans use to make decisions, which can then be programmed by data scientists through AI algorithms
- A set of rules within which AI can learn
- White papers delineating successful practices, etc.
FDA working teams were established during the AI Summit, August 24-25, 2017. The working teams will develop solutions to be presented during AI Summit 2018. Take this opportunity to join us!
