"Sitting on the dock of the bay… watching time roll by…" paraphrasing Otis Redding's famous song came to mind yesterday as I was contemplating a couple of different scenes approximately 100 yards apart that are vastly different in composition, yet share certain commonalities that bond the two together. Contrary to tourist's belief, there are parts of Virginia Beach that do not consist of white sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean backed by high-rise hotels and the latest/greatest Virginia Beach Official Tourist Gifts for the 2012-2013 season. One area of "Vah Beach" that is still fairly rural – and I truly hope it remains that way, is Pungo. This is the southern flank of Vah Beach – stretching from Sand Bridge to North Carolina to Chesapeake. That's a fairly sizeable chunk of real estate. There are various areas known as Creeds, Blackwater, Back Bay, and of course, Sand Bridge to name but a few. Although I have lived in Vah Beach for over 15 years, there are many places in Pungo that I am just now beginning to find and explore. What I like most – the quietness of the area. Once you get off of Princess Anne Road where people for Lord knows why – like to fly at speeds approaching the sound barrier, you'll find that stupid on wheels remains on Princess Anne Road, while peace and quiet take over within a couple of hundred yards on either side. To be sure, I wasn't exactly appreciative of some nutcase in a car come up behind me at speed, and disappear behind my tailgate, meaning he/she was way too close. I made my turn-off to go to a 'new spot' that looked promising from a photographer's point of view. I knew from looking through Google Maps – my number one research tool for locating places to take pictures – the road would end near a river (don't ask me the name of it). I noticed a sign sitting there that looked vaguely familiar. It then dawned on me that this was the site of the 'old' Captain George's Restaurant that had shut down some years back. Although their Hilltop (Laskin Road) and Williamsburg locations remain quite busy, this one has disappeared, save for the sign. I was interested in getting a sunset picture of the nearby bridge, and was looking around for other items of interest as sunset was a good hour away. An older cabin sat about 100 yards north of where I was parked. I walked over, and noticed that although it was clearly posted "NO TRESPASSING" some aspiring graffiti artists in training had practiced their craft on parts of it. Despite that detraction, there was plenty of things left that hadn't been 'messed with'. As you can see by this week's image – those famous words penned by Otis Redding are most definitely applicable here… If you would like to see these in their full format, you'll need to go up on the website as these images are very large – too large for email.
Please have a great week!!

Items needed for refugees in Charlottesville
The IRC in Charlottesville is committed to bringing our beneficiaries from harm to home.

Our office entrance is on 7th Street.

Vehicle Donations
With the vehicle-dependent culture that is so prevalent in most of the U.S., a donated car can be life-changing for a new refugee struggling with mobility. Donated vehicles help refugees fleeing conflict and oppression travel to work, regain control over their lives, and achieve self-sufficiency. A tax-deductible donation, a new vehicle is certain to be the "lift" a refugee needs to move from surviving to thriving in Charlottesville.
Ready to donate your car to the IRC? Want to learn more? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call (434) 979-7772 ext. 114 to get started!
The IRC only accepts donations of vehicles that are in running condition and have a current inspection sticker.
Functioning bicycles, if possible with helmet, lock, and lights, are also a valuable mode of transportation for employed refugees during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

Eco Friendly Home Designs for a Greener and Safer Living
Energy efficient or eco friendly homes are increasingly getting popular and that is the reason why majority of people are resorting to the use of eco friendly home designs to protect and save the environment in every way possible. Provided below are some of the ideas for eco friendly tips:
1. Efficient Space Utilization
Before designing the home, it is necessary to make sure that space is utilized in the most efficient manner along with considerable ventilation. Apart from being unnecessary, large spaces tend to use more energy for cooling down or warming. The eco-friendly designs require considerable attention towards practical provision for the storage places. The bedroom can be designed with drawers on both sides of a cot for efficient storage instead of coming up with huge wardrobe units. It is always advisable to consult with the specialists before the implementation of any green ideas.
2. Make Use of Safe and Local Raw Materials
While constructing the home, it is always better to utilize raw materials that are produced locally. A vital factor to consider while coming up with green ideas for home design is that the building materials should be non-synthetic and non-toxic. One can opt for local products like wood and stone instead of synthetic materials and highly priced wood.
3. Alternate Energy Sources
One of the primary elements of eco-friendly designs is to make sure that the home is not fully dependant conventional electricity. Geysers and solar panels can be used for saving energy consumption as well as costs. Energy-efficient options like CFL light bulbs can be used for lighting fixtures and appliances. Even though the light offered by these bulbs is considerably less than that of traditional bulbs, it certainly helps to protect the environment.
Energy efficient glazing can be used on windows and doors so as to keep the rooms warm or cold depending on the season. Provisions need to be made for proper ventilating systems in order to maintain a comfortable room temperature.
4. Water Conservation Techniques
Increasing water consumption has turned out to be a critical environmental issue. Therefore, it is important to employ the use of water conservation techniques while building a green house. Provisions need to be made for recycling water and using it so as to reduce consumption. For example, water used within the house can be used for watering the garden area of the house. Rain harvesting is another wonderful idea which can be put to use.

Kean's One Day Event
Kean University's Department of Occupational Therapy (OT), in collaboration with the special education, Young Athletes Program (YAP) aims to introduce children with intellectual disabilities to the world of sports. YAP is designed for children ages 2 ½ to 7, and serves as the foundation for play, fun and future participation in the regular Special Olympics program for people ages 8 and older.
The annual one-day event is facilitated by graduate occupational therapy students, as well as other Kean student volunteers and atheltes, under the supervision of Dr. Mary Falzarano, assistant professor and licensed occupational therapist.
The ultimate goal of the event is to assist the young athletes and their families to navigate eight sports activities that target specific basic gross motor and visual-perceptual motor skills necessary as a foundation for the child's main occupation – play. Children will learn how to control their movements to participate and play sports, as well as how to follow directions.
Please refer to http://www.kean.edu/specialolympics/ in order to register as a participant, or to volunteer at the one day event.

Home found for...
This is 2 year old Maddy (Madison) and she came into Daneline with her brother, Max. Maddy had had very little socialisation or walking, and so is finding the big wide world a bit of a strange place.
In the house she is a very well behaved girl (although stealing the odd bit of food off the kitchen counter is not beyond her). But when she is out in the garden, Maddy is a bit of a Houdini. She is constantly looking for ways to get out, and for this reason Maddy is best suited to a home with very high, secure fencing.
At the moment we are concentrating on Maddy's lead walking and socialisation, and would want someone who is prepared to carry this on with her.
Madison is a very sweet girl and has one of the waggiest Dane tails I have ever come across. She made a great addition to a family who is prepared to work with her.
If you feel that you can give a loving home to a Great Dane, please contact Daneline for details of the dogs we have in at present.

We all have probably learnt first aid in order to have the knowledge to respond to an acute medical issue or injury, but what about those aches, pains, mobility and flexibility issues that we experience on a day to day basis which may lead to an increased risk of injury? What if you could implement new skills in your workplace to assist your employees and colleagues with: General mobility and flexibility, Balance and stability, Assist forearm weakness & grip, Assist shoulder pain and flexibility and Improve neck rotation , just to name a few of the outcomes achieved through completing the one-day Emm-Tech course . The Emm-Tech course is changing workplaces!
Our most recent course has led to an increase in businesses sending their employees or an employee representative to the course, so that they can bring these skills into the workplace and be on hand to assist employees on a daily basis. Not only do these businesses have a first aid officer they now have an Emm-Tech officer on hand to deal with pain and discomfort, flexibility and mobility issues as they arise in the workplace. One such business that is leading the way is Vavee Enterprises where the Director attended the course and brought along an employee so that they could use these skills in the workplace as part of their wellbeing program.
It is always such a joy to see the excitement on the course participant's faces when they realised that they can create changes in the body with light touch. There were a couple of participants who came along with long standing issues and pain and these participants walked away at the end of the day with no pain and increased movement and flexibility. Yes guys …it is that easy!!
The feedback from these courses gives us indication that this technique can revolutionise Workplace Wellbeing programs and we are excited by what the future holds. Comments such as the ones below shows that we can make a drastic change to people's lives.
"Hi , I just went to the chiropractor and she asked me what had happened because she'd never seen my neck so 'good' after I told her she said well keep doing it ."
"Omg, I am feeling amazing . This morning I woke up and my whole upper body felt cramped up, I had a new technique workshop today so I chose not to take pain killers but to see if this could help.I am amazed at the start of this morning I could not move my arm above shoulder height with out terrible pain. After three moves I was able to move my arm to between shoulder and head, another three and I was pain free. " Nicola
"Thank you, I started on my family as soon as I got home. My eldest said 'wow mummy did you learn how to do magic today?'…….and I said YES! " Melanie
"Thanks Sandra Junckerstorff and Michelle. Had a great day, and my back feels amazing today." Linda
"Thank you so much for such a great day. I really enjoyed it. You both presented it so well. I was straight home and practiced on my partner!" Katie
"Very well presented course. Learning was made easy and access to instructors was excellent. Being an "animal" person I was a little concerned at doing the human side of the course, but I really enjoyed it." Katie
"Really enjoyed the course yesterday. Great job." Nanette
"Sandra is very good speaker/teacher and is very happy to be at the front of the class and is confident in what she is teaching. It was a great mix of people in the group and I think everyone got what they went for plus so much more!" Andrew
The releases shared in the EMM-Tech Short course have been specially selected from the longer Emmett Technique Practitioner course.In the EMM TECH Short Course participants learn a small focused set of skills and knowledge that has been tailored from The Emmett Technique Practitioner's Course especially for the general public.
While muscle imbalance for discomfort can be relieved quickly using these skills, this therapy does not replace the requirement for treatment by a professional practitioner. However, completing a course in Emm-Tech will improve your ability to assist your colleagues, clients, family and friends. The sequence of muscle activation points used in the EMMETT Technique can unlock muscle memory and this activation gives the brain the opportunity to set up a new state of homeostasis and provides an opportunity for re-alignment of the body.
Why not experience an Emm-Tech course today or contact us to implement our Move Easy Program within your business and start to see some changes in your Injury Statistics.

use the df command to identify disk space issues. This example uses the -h to format the output so that space is reported in megabytes or gigabytes
When you have a database that is hung because there is little or no free disk space, you should quickly
find files that can be safely removed without compromising database availability. On Linux/Unix
servers, the df, find, and du commands are particularly useful
once a full mount point is identified, then use the find command to locate the largest files contained in a
directory structure. This example navigates to the ORACLE_HOME directory and then connects the find, ls,
sort, and head commands to identify the largest files beneath that directory:
$ find . -ls | sort -nrk7 | head -10
This example combines the du, sort, and head commands to show the ten largest directories beneath the current working directory:
$ du -S . | sort -nr | head -10

On Wednesday, NBC News released a report that in a July meeting, Donald Trump said he wanted to increase the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile, by nearly tenfold. The report revealed that Trump's desire shocked several members of his national security team, as well as Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, which prompted him to reportedly call the celebrity-in-chief a "moron," an account Tillerson has yet to deny.
However, the report was quickly refuted by Trump in a slew of early morning tweets, as he threatened the network's FCC licenses in retaliation.
"Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!" he wrote. "With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country."
Later on in the day, Trump continued his criticism, saying, "It's frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write and people should want to look into it," adding that he never discussed the nuclear arsenal.
Nearly twelve hours later, Trump doubled-down on his threat to challenge the FCC licenses of the network's parent company, which is owned by Comcast. "Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked. Not fair to public."
According to reports, Trump's threats are similar to that of President Richard Nixon, back in 1972, when he encouraged his staff to stall the renewal of the Washington Post's licenses for Florida TV stations. The company's stock plummeted.
Just one hour after Trump's initial tweet, Comcast's stock saw a slight decline, as well.

Dental implant surgery enjoys a 95% success rate. However, it is crucial for you to follow your dental professional's post-surgery recommendations to ensure your implant placement will not fall into the 5% category of failures. Suggested care instructions immediately after dental implant surgery include:
- For 24 hours after surgery avoid warm or hot beverages and foods, and do not rinse liquid over the surgical area.
- Avoid touching the surgical area with your fingers or tongue.
- Apply an ice pack to your face to minimize the swelling that occurs in the first few days.
- Bite down on a damp gauze pad or tea bag to control bleeding. Excessive bleeding or bleeding that lasts longer than a couple of days should be reported to your dental professional.
- Avoid aspirin or aspirin compounds that can cause additional bleeding.
- Maintain a soft diet for several months after surgery to give the implant time to heal.
- Finish any antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
- If your surgeon did not prescribe pain relievers, use non-aspirin based over-the-counter pain relievers to treat any pain you may experience.
- Do not drink from straws.
- Avoid smoking as it increases the possibility of infection and slows the healing process.
- Limit exercise and physical activity for a few days after surgery.
- Brush and floss the rest of your teeth normally. Avoid brushing the surgical area, but you should rinse it with a small amount of water. Your dental professional may recommend a special mouth rinse.
- Patients who wear dentures should not resume their use until advised by their surgeon or dentist.
If you experience any unusual complications or signs of infection, contact the dentists at Advanced Dental Artistry in Federal Way, WA immediately. By following these recommendations and in cooperation with your dentist or oral surgeon, you will help to guarantee a successful dental implant procedure.

The gun would be dis-assembled and transported to the front, along with cranes and 2,000 engineering troops.

The secretary of health, Sergio Cortes, has been working nonstop in the area of Xerém following the flooding that the area experienced. As the secretary of health, he is expected to come up with solutions to the problems that the people of the area now face. Now that most of the people have been accounted for, he is beginning to help the survivors understand what they can do to prevent diseases from spreading through the community due to the contamination of the water. The majority of efforts are focused on providing clean water and clean food to the residents.
Sergio Cortes has advised the residents to only use bottled water or water that has been properly filtered with hypochlorite. According to this Extra article, Sergio Cortes has been making sure that all of the residents have access to not only bottled water but also to hypochlorite to put into their water tank supplies. He has mentioned that the easiest way to prevent illness after a flood is to only drink from bottled water or water that has been properly cleaned with hypochlorite. It is not safe to drink water that has been filtered with a normal filtering system.
Diseases that can come from drinking the water after a flood include chicken pox, hepatitis A and dengue. These are all diseases that have sometimes fatal consequences. The people of the town are advised to stay away from anyone who is sick and to only drink clean water. It may be more difficult for sick people to get the medical help that they need during the time after a flood. This is due to a large number of people who are suffering casualties from the flood that occurred. Flood victims will likely be given medical attention first.
Sergio Cortes on crunchbase has set up a post at the health center in town. He has made sure that he is available for any questions that medical personnel may have regarding the diseases that can come after a flood. He has also made sure to put out bulletins and warnings to people who may be feeling ill or who may want to drink water from their own taps. The secretary of health has been passing out hypochlorite and bottled water. He has asked that all people who want to donate to the flood efforts should be sure that they include bottled water in their flood donations.

text: Nice Buffet. You have to look around, but there are some very nice dishes here and the price is very reasonable. The Mongolian bar is excellent and my wife tells me the Sushi is great. You just need to make your first pass include tiny servings of everything that meets your interest and then go back and get decent helpings of the dishes you like. My wife ordered plum wine and got a full-sized wine glass filled to the brim. The service is good too. They always removed the old dishes and kept my soft drink glass filled when I wanted it to be. There are probably a good number of bad dishes served here too, but the gems are numerous. I would highly recommend this place for an inexpensive but surprisingly good buffet.

The C @ Sea
After a successful initial ship trial at the end of last year, the joint team of U.S. Navy, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems personnel who make up the F-35 Integrated Test Force went back to sea on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to continue testing the capabilities of the F-35C.
For DT-II, the ITF based out of NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, will continue to expand the flight envelope, launching and recovering aircraft loaded with internal weapons while evaluating their flying and handling qualities under various wind conditions and catapult settings.
The F-35 Lightning II Pax River Integrated Test Force completed its second F-35C developmental test phase Oct. 10, 2015. During the tests, the team completed 66 catapults and 66 arrestments across 17 flights, logged 26.5 flight hours and achieved a total of 280 flight test points and 17 logistics test and evaluation test points. The testing was completed six days ahead of schedule.

About The Listing
Type of Trip : Cycling
Level : Medium
Location : Himachal Pradesh
Duration : 6 Days 5 Nights
Trip Start : Manali
Trip End : Manali
If you are looking for a short challenging cycling ride with panoramic Himalayan views then this is the ride for you! Though short on duration this one doesn't lack grandeur in any way because you ride along a memorable trail through a high altitude region, leading to a true jewel of the mountains, Chandratal Lake.
What's Unique?
- Stark & stunning trans - Himalayan landscape of Lahaul & Spiti valley.
- Riding to Chandratal (Moon Lake) at 4300m, surely one of the most beautiful lakes in the Himalayas.
- Cycling in a very less trafficdensity area (rare in India!).
- Opportunity to ride with like-minded people.
Day 01: Manali (2,000mtr).
You'll reach Manali and check into Johnson Lodge. In the post lunch session you'll take your cycles out and go for an acclimatization ride around Manali. Not only you get your muscles ready for the ride ahead but you'll also feast your eyes on the natural delights for which Manali is famous. Overnight stay will be at Johnson Lodge.
Day 02: Manali – Marhi (3350m, Cycle/38 kms).
Today after breakfast you will set out on the road leading to the famous Rohtang pass. This road is the one which goes to Ladakh and Lahaul & Spiti regions. It's an uphill ride all the way and you will do it in short stages. You'll have lunch enroute and reach your destination, Marhi towards late afternoon. Marhi is 16 kms short of Rohtang Pass. You will camp here for the night. Overnight stay will be in camp.
Day 03: Marhi – Rohtang Pass (3950m) – Chotta Dharra (3800m, Cycle/47 kms).
Get ready for your first views of the Trans Himalayan ranges today. After breakfast a climb of 16 kms will bring you to the top of Rohtang Pass (3900m) which offers rewarding views of the Pir Panjals and the Trans Himalayan ranges. Rohtang pass at 3950m separates Kullu, from the exotic charm of the Lahaul Valley. In Tibetan Rohtang means "a heap of dead bodies" and the pass stands true to its notorious name. The pass becomes all the more hazardous to negotiate due to frequent avalanches. The summit of the pass turns into lush green meadow in summers studded with violets and varieties of wild Himalayan and Alpine flowers. Butterflies of numerous and rare kind and variegated hues also draw the attention of the visitor. At the highest point on top to the right as one faces Lahaul, is a small stone enclosure and a water spring which is the principal source of the River Beas; .the other, Beas Kund is at the head of the Solang Nullah. The place gained religious significance because of sojourn of Beas Rishi (the famous Vyasa Rishi, author of the epic Mahabharata). To the left of this pass is the little lake Sarkund. On the 20th Bhadon (early September) every year a large number of people visit this lake with the belief and hope that an early morning bath in it will cure all their ailments. From Rohtang Pass you will descend 11 kms to Gramphoo from where a left diversion will get you into the Spiti valley. The offroad starts from here and riding another 21 kms will get you to Chotta Dharra. Overnight stay will be in camp.
Day 04: Chotta Dharra (3800m) – Chandratal (4300m, Cycle/39 kms).
This is glacier country! You trace the course of the Chandra river till Batal (19 kms) through undulating road, trying uphills and rocky flats. The gruesome climb begins from Batal diversion up to Chandratal. From the base of Kunzum Pass the pristine lake is 20 kms. Though the ride is going to be demanding today but rest assured you will be treated to sights never seen before. For people not wanting to ride a certain section the support vehicle is going to be there to hitch a ride. Upon reaching the lake you set up camp. Spend rest of the day soaking in the natural beauty of this jewel in the mountains, Chandratal. Overnight stay will be in camp.
Day 05: Chandratal (4300m) – Kunzum La (4650m) – Manali (2000m, Cycle/20-30 kms & Drive/5-6 hrs).
Today after breakfast you drive down to Batal and from there drive further 12 kms towards Kaza and reach the Kunzum La at 4650m. You'll spend some time at the pass taking pictures and enjoying the views all around. From Kunzum La you'll again get on your cycles and enjoy a downhill ride till Batal and further on to Chotta Dharra, if so desired. You'll have lunch there and drive back to Manali via the famous Rohtang pass. Overnight stay will be in Johnson Lodge.
Day 06: Explore Manali by day and depart in the evening.

Tips, Hints, Precautions
1. What type of cycle is recommended for this expedition?
The roads generally are not suitable for bikes fitted with road tyres (slicks), even though some sections are in reasonably good condition. There will be sections higher up that will be in poor condition due to snow/slush from the winter months, possible landslip, and use of the road by heavy vehicles at times. Hybrid bikes with 'chunky' mountain tyres are most suitable. Riders should also bring a range of spare parts which may include; chain links or chains, spare tyres and pump, at least 4 spare tubes and puncture repair kit, cables, pedals and a good tool kit. Though there would be a mechanic accompanying you carrying a good repair kit and spares but it is still necessary for everyone to bring some spares; this also ensures you have parts that will fit your bike. There will be a staff member to assist with running repairs when you are biking. As a general rule, less complex or high tech bikes are easier to fix and obtain parts for if necessary. If you plan to buy a new bike before the trip, make sure you are completely familiar with it prior to departing. You should fit at least 2 one liter water bottles to your bike. Water will be available from the back up vehicle.
2. Is there medical back up on the tour?
Yes, the trip is accompanied by qualified paramedics and HAPS.
3. What is the sleeping material provided in the tent?
You get a cotton wool mattress, a trekking mattress of foam, a sleeping bag. If you still feel cold after the arrangements they do give you blankets and duckback hot water bottles.
4. Are any spare cycles carried on the bus, incase of a major cycle breakdown?
Yes we do, though these are Firefox targets. We have a mechanic accompanying us who does carry some spares.
5. Is there any physical preparation/ diet, that needs to be done, to reduce the chances of altitude sickness?
The simplest things are the most difficult. In this scene lets keeping it to the basics. No smoking, no drinking. If you do, then please reduce. Stick to your regular diet, increase carbs, greens. At least 5-8 ltrs of water everyday and other liquids (citrus). Mix your cycling with aerobics and swimming. As such there is no golden thumb rule to avoid High altitude sickness, the mantra is to go high on fluids. Lots of water helps. The ride is slow paced which aids in acclimatization.

Grower Groups
Our strong relationships at both ends of the supply chain allow Frontier to create partnership agreements that benefit everyone. With Molson Coors, Frontier has created and managed a Growers' Group for the last ten years, providing farmers with growing protocols and a guaranteed grain contract, and Molson Coors with high quality malting barley to the required specification and volumes. This is just one example of the way in which weare able to bring growers and consumers together to the benefit of all.
Frontier also has exclusive rights to supply the Vivergo bioethanol plant near Hull, which presents a huge marketing opportunity to farmers in the surrounding region. Growers who become members of our Humber Gold Club and commit a minimum of 120 tonnes of wheat, will gain access to a range of benefits, including:
- Up to 17% maximum moisture - club members can take advantage of preferential allowances on this higher moisture specification.
- Block loading within 30 miles - Tailor your loading schedule to suit your circumstances by choosing early morning, late night or Saturday collections. You can even block load an entire contract at once.
- 21 days standard payment terms - Benefit from priority movement and 21 day payment on all deliveries into Vivergo, allowing you to move your wheat and get paid in the same month.
Cargill's starch and glucose manufacturing plant in Manchester is a huge consumer of feed wheat and Frontier has the exclusive contract for supply. Approximately 750,000 tonnes of wheat is used annually to make starch and glucose, used in the manufacture of products such as confectionery, pharmaceuticals, alcoholic beverages, pet food and soft drinks. By becoming a member of our Manchester Gold Wheat Club, growers can benefit from a range of attractive member benefits which reward farmers whose wheat is processed at the plant. They include:
- Flexible collections - Customised collection to suit your loading requirements.

|Re: The Installer
|Wed, 16 Nov 2005 16:03:00 GMT
1) I think the standalone compiler is the only necessary JAR, and I had volunterred to try to get it onto iBiblio at one point, but didn't actually get around to it. It would be great if someone else could do that. Someone (Jacek?) pointed me to a writeup on how to get arbitrary JARs onto ibiblio, and I can pass that along if it would be helpful. 5) I think port validation was tricky, because IIRC, each field is validated independently. I don't think there's a good way to validate a whole screen at a time, much less a group of ports on a group of screens, some of which you may not have seen yet. If this turns out to be hard, I don't think it would be the end of the world to skip it for now, since presumably the user knows not to create port conflicts. 7) I think we could safely install all the schemas if you install J2EE features, and none of the schemas otherwise. It's not quite perfect, but close enough. The other problem we need to think about, related to the port issue, is setting the default web port. If you install only Jetty or Tomcat, whichever one you install should default to 8080. But if you install both, they should default to different ports. I would be OK saying that the installer will not install both, which would make this easier, but I don't think there's that kind of exclusivity in the feature selection screen. Then again, I haven't worked with IzPack for a while now so my information may be a little out of date. :) Aaron On 11/16/05, Erik Daughtrey <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > Hey David, I'll start working on these items. > > erik > > On Wednesday 16 November 2005 03:24, David Jencks wrote: > > It would be good if we could get the installer working well for 1.0. > > Here are some of the things I think need to happen. > > > > 1.

¿Por qué el Spanglish?
Who speaks
Does Spanglish have its own rules?
Is it simply code-switching (jumping back and forth between two or more languages in one conversation) between the two languages, or are there concrete rules to decipher Spanglish from other forms of language mixture?
Rose Nash
¿Why are we
interested en eso?
1. to categorize Spanglish linguistically
2. to observe the linguistic constraints of Spanglish
3. to discuss the social impacts of Spanglish
So, what is Spanglish?
An Interlanguage?
An interlanguage is a language that is formed at the border of two countries. The interlanguage argument, however, loses its edge in this linguistic battle when examples of non-bordering cities like New York and Miami are mentioned. These cities have huge populations of Hispanic communities, and the Spanish language is ubiquitous. The lack of a border between these states and a Hispanic country may lead one to wonder if Spanglish is, indeed, a true interlanguage.
A Pidgin Language?
A pidgin language is a language that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups that do not have a language in common. Spanglish seems to fit this category except for one thing: the fact that the English speakers rarely use Spanish words to communicate with Spanish-speakers. Most of the code-switching (switching between two languages in one conversation) is performed solely by the Spanish speakers.
A Creole Language?
A Creole language is a "stable natural language developed from the mixing of parent languages. Creoles differ from pidgins in that creoles have been 'nativized' by children as their primary language." Many second generation Hispanic children are exposed primarily to Spanglish at home, making this their native language in which this dialect is mostly understandable by standard monolingual Spanish speakers. Does Spanglish, however, have a grammar different from both Spanish and English, or is it simply a mixture of the two?
Perhaps the easiest, least controversial definition for Spanglish would be this:
an anglicized Spanish dialect that, with time, can become a pidgin or even a Creole language.
Spanglish is mostly spoken by children who are fluent in English, but who speak to their mono-lingual Spanish-speaking parents in a mixture of the two languages. Rarely is Spanglish spoken by people raised by English-speaking parents.
English words change their orthography and pronunciation, and no longer retain their non-Spanish identity
calques (phrases borrowed from languages by literal translation), syntactic idioms, and various other expressions that are seen as a new type of Spanish emerging under English influence
For example, rather than using the traditional Spanish phrase "Voy a pensar en eso," a Hispanic who is thoroughly familiar with English syntax might say "Le daré pensamiento a eso," which, because of word choice and syntax, may not make sense to a monolingual Spanish speaker
The extensive use of English lexical items occurring in their original form in otherwise Spanish utterances
slang phrases (what's up, whatever, etc.)
technology (el iPod, el facebook, etc.)
untranslatable words/phrases in English (field trip)
English words get assigned masculine or feminine articles
Infinitive verbs endings are added to English verbs to make them easy to conjugate in Spanish
boss becomes "el bos"
market becomes "la marqueta"
teenager becomes "el/la tinager"
to park becomes "parquear"
to flunk becomes "flunkear"
to text becomes "textear"
Spanglish has its own dialects, and is different in different parts of the US. Spanglish is also generally spoken more in the US than in Spanish-speaking countries (other than Puerto Rico).
Linguists tend to not refer to Spanglish as a whole, because it is an ambiguous term. They prefer to simply refer to portions of Spanglish as what they are: code-switching, vowel shifts, pronunciation changes, combining of the grammars of English and Spanish, and vocabulary that is adopted or borrowed or made in the new "language."
Alfredo Ardila
His first type of Spanglish is observed in people who are raised in an environment where both languages are used with nearly equal frequency. Ardila states that "Spanglish Type I speakers frequently act as native speakers of both languages." They speak English better because it was their school language, but code-switching between the two languages is common.
Ardila divides Spanglish into two categories using different criteria. He chooses to explore what types of people are most likely to speak Spanglish as a preferred language.
Type 1
In this type of Spanglish, the grammatical and morphological aspects of each language are consistent with the language being spoken, with the exception of a few abnormalities within phrases and calques. In general, this form of Spanglish is fully understandable to native English speakers.
Type 2
Ardila's second type of Spanglish can be observed in native Spanish speakers who have lived many years in the United States. These speakers borrow a significant number of words from English, but not without imperfections. The irregularity of English phonology, pronunciation, and morphology in the language of these speakers may make their version of Spanglish difficult for monolingual English speakers to understand.
One such speaker of Spanglish may refer to a tinager (teenager), which is technically an English word, but the pronunciation makes it nearly impossible for a monolingual English speaker to understand.
For both of these groups of people, the functional language is neither Spanish nor English but a mixture of both.
Linguistic Worries
Ilán Stavans claims that speakers of Spanglish "are no longer fluent in the language of Cervantes but have also failed to master that of Shakespeare." This creates a generation of individuals who are fluent in neither English nor Spanish, but are "semi-lingual in two languages."
On the other hand, Ana Celia Zentella calls Spanglish a "sign of linguistic dexterity." She says that it is "like a train car able to run on two tracks at the same time, shifting from one to the other at the appropriate time. It's a skill that is often misunderstood."
Native Spanish-speakers often see Spanglish as a threat to their language, because their children grow up being unable to speak fluent, intelligent Spanish. However, this stems from the fact that most of their children are schooled in English, making it their primary language among their peers. In Spanish-speaking countries, Spanish has no threat of being overtaken by any other languages.
Because Spanglish is generally spoken by people who have spent many years in the United States, the dominance of English has no reason to feel threatened, for the effects of English upon Spanish are what create the need for Spanglish, not vice versa.
Perhaps the only answer that will satisfy those worried about the future of the Spanish language is...
¡Que será será!
There are 3 basic
types of code-switching
1. Intersentential switching occurs outside the sentence or the clause level (i.e. at sentence or clause boundaries)
2. Intra-sentential switching occurs within a sentence or a clause
3. Intra-word switching occurs within a word, itself, such as at a morpheme boundary.
Attitudes toward
There is an academic debate over whether Spanglish is the creation of new language or the destruction of Spanish. Some Spanish speakers will argue that Spanglish is a polluted version of Spanish. They see Spanglish as a corruption of a language, one that has allowed Americanized culture to force itself into a beautiful language.
Others will argue that it is the natural evolution of a language. It is not at all uncommon for languages to adopt words from other languages. While Spanglish does take the fusion to a new level, is that really a bad thing?
Perhaps because of the existence of the Real Academia Española, those on the Spanish side of the debates seem much more fervent than those arguing on the English side. Their motto is that language should be "Limpia, fija y da esplendor."
Linguistics of Spanglish
The equivalence constraint claims that code-switching is allowed where the grammars of Spanish and English coincide.
There are some important syntactic constraints on code-switching.
Equivalence Constraint Example: "The student brought the homework para la profesora." is grammatical, because both languages place the prepositional phrase in the same place,after the object, in the sentence.
The object clitic (pronoun or determiner) constraint relates to the equivalence constraint, as it deals with coinciding grammars, and claims that the clitic must be in the same language as the verb and in the position required by the language of that verb.
Object Clitic Constraint Example: "Yo lo bought." and "I it bought." are both ungrammatical.
The noun phrase constraint claims that no switching occurs between a noun and a modifying adjective that follows this noun.
Noun Phrase Constraint Example: "El hombre old está enojado." is ungrammatical whereas switching between the determiner and the rest of the noun phrase that follows or between an adjective and a noun that follows form grammatical sentences, such as "El old man está enojado."
The free morpheme (something that can stand alone as a word) constraint claims that a switch may not occur between a bound morpheme (something that appears only as a part of words that cannot function independently) and a lexical form (something that represents actual word forms) unless the lexical form has been integrated into the language of the bound morpheme.
Free Morpheme Constraint Example: This constraint prohibits combining the Spanish bound morpheme "-eando" with the lexical form "run" in English to try to form "runeando" which would mean "running."

AP Takes Part in the Research Project on Traffic Management and Urban Design Strategy for Lija
AP is taking part in the preliminary study on mobility and urban space in the village of Lija. The research project, coordinated by Prof. Maria Attard from the Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (University of Malta), takes a look at one typical village centre and addresses the importance of sustainable mobility, liveability and open public space for the well-being of communities and the sustainability of Maltese village cores.
The erosion of public urban space – spatially and in terms of air and noise pollution – due to the growth in car circulation is particularly worrying in Malta, where the motorization rate is one of the highest in Europe and where the majority of urbanised centres have an historical core that cannot cope with increasingly heavy car traffic. The old centre of Lija (3.039 inhabitants on 1.1 square kilometres) because of its location in the regional transport network suffers from problems of both traffic volume at peak travel times and traffic speed in narrow roads in the urban conservation area at other times.
The study involved traffic surveys, direct observation, computer modelling, historical research and a review of planning policy, and developed a proposal that aims to discourage traffic and to make streets more comfortable and safe for pedestrian, cycle and social use, in order to improve the general space quality.
The strategy presented by the AP team can be summarized by the following points:
.limit traffic, re-routing to prevent rat running and providing off street parking to help rationalise street parking
.prioritise the pedestrian, by controlling the traffic and improving the streetscape
.enhance and expand public space, promoting the use of the historic properties, creating opportunities for social and leisure activities thanks to the space that could be won back from the car and the regeneration of the historic pattern of the town.
These situations are a challenge for many Maltese towns and the study has brought to light some of the more pressing concerns and issues with regard to traffic, place quality and liveability in Malta's urban environments, as well as the administrative and legislative hurdles a Council would need to overcome in order to implement similar measures.

With Alan Hodge
Introduction by Patricia T. O'Conner
In late October 1939, Robert Graves wrote to Alan Hodge: "I have begun a new book, about English." Graves and Hodge had recently completed a social history of the between-wars period called The Long Week-End. Now they embarked on this new project, "a handbook for writers of English Prose," to be called The Reader Over Your Shoulder.
The world was in total upheaval. Graves had already fled Majorca three years earlier at the start of the Spanish Civil War. As they labored over their new writing project, Graves and Hodge witnessed the fall of France and the evacuation of Allied forces at Dunkirk. In early September 1940 began the bombing of London by the German Luftwaffe, a concentrated effort to destroy the resolve of the English people. Graves's and Hodge's idea was simple enough: at a time when their whole world was falling apart, the survival of English prose sentences, of writing that was clear, concise, intelligible, had become paramount if hope were going to survive the onslaught. They came up with forty-one principles for writing, the majority devoted to clarity, the remainder to grace of expression. They studied the prose of a wide range of noted authors and leaders, finding much room for improvement. Quoting grammarian and bestselling author Patricia T. O'Conner from her new introduction, "With a new war to be won, the kingdom couldn't afford careless, sloppy English. Good communication was critical."
The book they would write would turn out to be one of the most erudite, and at the same time one of the most spontaneous and inspired, ever to take on the challenge of writing well. O'Conner in her introduction describes The Reader Over Your Shoulder as nothing less than "the best book on writing ever published." The present edition restores, for the first time in three-quarters of a century, the original, 1943, text, which in subsequent printings and editions had been shortened by over 150 pages, including much of the heart of the book.
Collected inNew ReleasesThe Graves Project
Announcing the Robert Graves Project
Today marks the publication day for Robert Graves and Alan Hodge's The Reader Over Your Shoulder, which gramarrian extraordinaire Patricia T. O'Conner, author of Woe is I, calls "the best book on writing ever published." The Reader Over Your Shoulder is not just a writing handbook. It is a witty and engaging treatise on the pleasures and pains of the English language itself, with witty criticisms of Graves's contemporaries, including Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and H. G. Wells.
The Reader Over Your Shoulder is only the first of fourteen works from the eccentric, downright polymathic mind of Robert Graves. An esteemed poet, a bestselling author of the historical novel I, Claudius, Graves wrote also wrote a diverse set of novels, books on mythology, children's tales. Seven Stories is excited to introduce these works back into the reading public. Check out the Graves books so far slated for publication here, and check out the full list of forthcoming titles here.

Can suicide intervention at the ED save lives?
Wednesday, June 07, 2017
Although many suicide attempts go unreported or untreated, surveys suggest that at least 1 million people in the United States intentionally try to kill themselves each year, and 45,000 are successful. Suicide is the 10th-leading cause of death in the U.S., and there are about 121 suicides each day, nearly one every 13 minutes.
In 2015, 494,169 people visited an emergency department (ED) for attempted suicide. Studies show those who attempt suicide are at risk of another suicide attempt or death within 30 days of discharge from an ED or inpatient psychiatric unit, and 70 percent of patients who leave the ED never attend their first outpatient appointment. About 37 percent of patients without a mental health or chemical dependency diagnosis who die by suicide have made an ED visit in the previous year.
A recent study in JAMA Psychiatry involving suicidal patients in EDs of eight hospitals revealed that intervention reduced suicide attempts among the at-risk ED patients. This report was one of several from the Emergency Department Safety Assessment and Follow-up Evaluation (ED-SAFE) study, led by Ivan Miller, professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
This multicenter study was composed of three sequential phases:
- a treatment as usual (TAU) phase from August 2010 to December 2011
- a universal screening phase from September 2011 to December 2012
- a universal screening plus intervention phase from July 2012 to November 2013
The intervention phase included secondary suicide risk screening by the ED physician, discharge resources and post-ED telephone calls focused on reducing suicide risk. The primary outcome of the study was suicide attempts (nonfatal and fatal) over the 52-week follow-up period.
A total of 1,376 participants were recruited, including 769 females (55.9 percent, median age of 37 years). A total of 288 participants (20.9 percent) made at least one suicide attempt, and there were 548 total suicide attempts among participants.
No significant differences in risk reduction between the TAU and screening phases (23 percent vs 22 percent, respectively) were noted. However, patients in the intervention phase showed a 5 percent absolute reduction in suicide attempt risk (23 percent vs. 18 percent), with a relative risk reduction of 20 percent.
Participants in the intervention phase had 30 percent fewer total suicide attempts than participants in the TAU phase. They also had significantly fewer total suicide attempts than participants in the TAU phase, but no differences between the TAU and screening phases were observed.
This study, possibly the largest intervention trial conducted in the U.S., revealed that among at-risk patients in the ED, a combination of brief interventions administered both during and after an ED visit decreased post-ED suicidal behavior. Although Miller would like to have seen an even stronger effect, he feels encouraged that this at-risk population was impacted with somewhat-limited intervention.
