jquery challenge of the day September 7, 2010 6:19 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : CSS, Daily Life, JavaScript, jQuery, Programming, TechnologyAnd now for something completely different…
Let's say you have a table that could have infinite rows. The table has an id but none of the other elements (ie. we won't be traversing by id). The column to the furthest right of the row has an anchor tag in the for of an  There are no other anchors on that row. What I want to do is when the anchor tag is clicked, have the  text in the row above the clicked on turn bold and only that . Sample table:

col 1 label
col 2 label
sometext link
moretext link
differenttext link
othertext link
So, if I click the link in row three, I want the text "link" in row two to become bold. This is using jquery and traversing this is kicking me hard.
10commentsjQuery roadblock August 12, 2010 6:33 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : JavaScript, jQuery, Programming, TechnologyjQuery problem:

one	two	three	click me first

one	two	three	click me second

What jQuery would allow me to click on "click me second" and change the color of the text "click me first"?
It's a little more complicated than that. The real source has a plus image on the first row. Once you click that I use .hide() to make the plus go away. I create the 2nd row which has a minus image and a plus image. If you click the plus image, it disappears and creates a third row. The minus image, should 1st) cause the immediate plus image above it to appear 2) then disappear its own row. All plus images have a class of "addrow" and minus images have a class of "deleterow" I thought prev() would be doing it but I get nothing. Specifically .prev('.addrow').show();

Yes, it screams "undefined variable" which is rootNode but through Magento's excellent use of object oriented spaghetti, the error does not in anyway reveal what is truly causing rootNode to be undefined nor where to even begin looking.

add a commentCurrent Magento Questions – getCustomerFormData January 21, 2010 10:18 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Programming, TechnologyThe Magento ecommerce question I am trying to answer right now is what does getCustomerFormData() do?
In AccountController.php and Register.php there is this reference $data = $this->_getSession()->getCustomerFormData(true); and this reference $data = new Varien_Object(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerFormData(true)); respectively. I've searched using grep and within eclipse's file search but can find no other reference to getCustomerFormData.
I can find no reference to getCustomerFormData other than these two lines of code. So what is this supposed to be accomplishing?
add a commentMagento – Developer Killer January 21, 2010 1:09 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Programming, TechnologyWhile trying to add some functionality to my client's Magento ecommerce store, I came across an article that summed up my Magento experience quite well:
Most of us in ecommerce application development have already heard of Magento. Some would call it new ecommerce killer app. I myself stand with that statement for many of reasons. However I would like to call it with one more name, developer killer app. This developer killer is what I literally had in mind. Magento is currently one of the most difficult PHP systems out there a developer could learn and master. [Source, {}activecodeline, What makes Magento so hard to learn (emphasis added)]
I have put so much effort into learning this system that I both never want to touch it again AND must do more Magento development so that this exercise of gaining knowledge does not go to waste.

Magento Actions January 17, 2010 11:26 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Programming, TechnologyThe Magento E-commerce system is an exciting open source alternative to systems like OS Commerce. The learning curve isn't really a curve at all. The learning curve is more like a sheer, glassy. polished mountain face shooting straight up into the heavens. However, plenty of documentation exists, Google overfloweth with links to blog post, and IRC support is available on Freenode #magento (although I believe most questions go to /dev/null so expect to feel a little like you are talking to yourself but like your $200/hr psychologist will explain, sometimes that's all we need).
As I work through understanding how Magento handles layouts, I struggle to find a simple list of actions and perhaps I'm trying to hard. So far the is this:
- addJs
- addCss
- addLink
- addItemRender
- unsetChild
- setHeaderTitle
- setTemplate
Ah! I found a reference! See page 7 of Magento Layout Files Reference (see also same document, different format).
Update: The Magento wiki has this defined under Designing for Magento.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Communications, Programming, TechnologyMaximum length of an email address is 254 characters, not 320 December 16, 2009 5:07 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Communications, Programming, TechnologyI work in a business of constant learning. Technology is continually evolving and being revised. Somethings are rather constant but, being human, weI tend to develop habits occasionally rooted in wrong assumptions. Perhaps a deadline forced a decision without having time to look up the specification and over time, our mind took that unresearched decision as fact. I've made numerous databases over the years based upon just such a wrong assumption. My error has been in the acceptable maximum length of an email address. My number is irrelevant but I am in good company with being incorrect on the length of an email address as many people mistakenly believe it to be 320 characters.
An RFC is a request for comments which "is a memorandum published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) describing methods, behaviors, research, or innovations applicable to the working of the Internet and Internet-connected systems." (Wikipedia) RFCs set the standards that define how the Internet works. RFC3696 and RFC5321 explain that the maximum length of an email address is 254 characters.
There appears to be some confusion over the maximum valid email address size. Most people believe it to be 320 characters (64 characters for the username + 255 characters for the domain + 1 character for the @ symbol). Other sources suggest 129 (64 + 1 + 64) or 384 (128+1+255, assuming the username doubles in length in the future).
This confusion means you should heed the 'robustness principle' ("developers should carefully write software that adheres closely to extant RFCs but accept and parse input from peers that might not be consistent with those RFCs." – Wikipedia) when writing software that deals with email addresses. Furthermore, some software may be crippled by naive assumptions, e.g. thinking that 50 characters is adequate (examples). Your 200 character email address may be technically valid but that will not help you if most websites or applications reject it.
The actual maximum email length is currently 254 characters:
"The original version of RFC 3696 did indeed say 320 was the maximum length, but John Klensin (ICANN) subsequently accepted this was wrong."
"This arises from the simple arithmetic of maximum length of a domain (255 characters) + maximum length of a mailbox (64 characters) + the @ symbol = 320 characters. Wrong. This canard is actually documented in the original version of RFC3696. It was corrected in the errata. There's actually a restriction from RFC5321 on the path element of an SMTP transaction of 256 characters. But this includes angled brackets around the email address, so the maximum length of an email address is 254 characters." – Dominic Sayers
Every day I learn something new! (even when I should have known it for a couple of decades)
1 comment so farProject Done November 30, 2009 2:40 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Programming, TechnologyI just put the wraps on one of my projects. This one was a site scrapper and a site rebuild. Scraping means the site which controls the data did not provide an API or other means to get the data so using PHP, cURL, and AJAX (in this case, jQuery), I retrieved the data, used PHP and regular expressions to parse the data to use only the parts I needed, and CSS to present it correctly. The rebuild was applying a new design, furnished by the client, to the rest of the site. Overall fun, albeit with some speed bumps and hiccups.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Programming, TechnologyI work in an ever changing industry. New techniques, new standards, new languages, new buzzwords are always developing. These changes are why programmers must be constant learners. I learn principles. Specifics of a language simply require a decent reference. I rely heavily upon Delicious as my own personal search engine and reference tool. To date, I have bookmarked 10024 websites. I can spent hours researching a problem and clicking through search engine results to read misinformation or bad links but when I find the resource I need, I bookmark it at Delicious with keywords which will help me find the information easily. The next time I need that info, I can find it in seconds.

add a commentMy Clients Now Get P3P Privacy Policies November 17, 2009 11:15 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Privacy, Programming, Security, Technology, Touchy SubjectsDoes your website collect identifying information on your visitors? If you think because you do not sell anything, ie. no shopping cart, and have no subscription services that you are not collecting identifying information on your site's visitors then you are probably wrong. Most web servers log IP addresses along with the time of the visit and what that IP address read. ISPs keep logs showing which IP addresses were allocated to what users at particular times. Your logs can be correlated to their logs to identify a person. If your site as a comment form then you are definitely collecting information but more importantly that form gives you a name of a person to associate with the IP address without having to involve the ISP.
So now that we are clear that you are probably collecting identifying information about the visitors to your site, do you have a privacy policy? A privacy policy states how you will use that identifying information. For instance, perhaps you sell it to mailing lists. Or perhaps you specifically do NOT sell it to mailing lists but aggregate it to be able to explain to your potential advertisers that 70% of your site's visitors are women between the ages of 22 and 35.
If you have a privacy policy, as a human, I can follow the link to that policy, read it, and try to interpret it. But why should I do that when I may not even understand what I'm reading? Shouldn't the browser or other software handle the privacy policy for me? Yes! And on April 16, 2002 the W3C recommended the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project or P3P which is "a machine-readable language that helps to express a website's data management practices." What this comes down to is that you can set your privacy preferences in your browser and if the website's policy does not match, the browser blocks cookies from that site. Certainly there is a bit more to it than that but for most users, it boils down to blocking cookies.
P3P is a bit of a pain in the neck but every website (and that means your blogs) should have a privacy policy. This is definitely something I will encourage of each of my clients.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - Are these Compatible?
Are these Compatible? Hello, So I have a 45 Gallon tank currently housing a Midas Cichlid, a Plecostamos, and a silver tip shark. I DID have an Oscar in there but for some reason, beyond my understanding, the Oscar who was about 3" larger, was killed by my surprisingly ferocious Midas Cichlid. Anyway, So I'm in the process of getting rid of the Midas, and starting over sorta new. I was planning on keeping the Plecostamos and the shark, but wanted to know if my ideas for the other tank mates would work. I was thinking about possibly one or two spotted African leaf fish, angelfish, and Balla Shark(s). What do you think? Any suggestions would be a great help! |
The midas probably killed the oscar because the tank is way to small. The midas liked you said need to go in less you want to invest in a bigger tank. A 100g tank would be minimum for an Oscar IMO. The silver tipped shark is a brackish water fish, also grows very large and is a predator. It needs a 125g tank. Your really going to need to get rid of this fish also. Your pleco does not like salt, so it and the silver tip cannot live together. The bala shark will also not work they need 125g tank. The african leaf fish I'm not sure on but I am pretty sure they have different water perimeters than angel fish.. How long have you had your tank? If I were you I would get rid of the midas and shark. Do you have a common pleco? If so it will also probably need to go as it's going to out grow your tank also. What are the dimensions of your tank? and ph? I'm sure we can help you come up with a good stock list. |
Oh and welcome to the forum, it's a great place. :-) |
I had no Idea that the silver tip shark was brakish water, he's been doing fine ever since I added him into the tank. But I guess it would be a good Idea to try and start over "completely". My plecostamos is normal, and about 8" He's the oldest fish I have. I used to have a tank of just angelfish, and I wanted to get another one or three, cause I hear you shouldn't have just two. I also have a parrot cichlid in a different tank I was thinking about moving over soon-ish. Any suggestions? Oh and thanks, I'm really excited to be here :) |
An Oscar and Midas can live in smaller tanks but ideally 75, 90 100, 125 gallon work better your looking at large fish. You maybe able to keep one in a 40 or 55 short term but they are not going to be comfortable and I wouldn't recommend any tank mates. A full grown Oscar can't even turn around in a 55g. Most pet stores seem to give bad advise. I'm not sure if they are just trying to sell stuff or just figure people will kill the fish before they are full grown. It's going to be up to you to decide what you want to do. I have no experience with angel fish but a lot of the members here do. You 40g would be enough space for the 1 parrot fish but no more and I'm not sure right off on tank mates. You can use the tab at the top of the page to go threw fish profiles. There are a lot of cichlids that can go in a 40g. You seem to like the really big cichlids, lol there are some cool smaller ones. I think half the fun of having aquariums is learning, I learn something new all the time and I've been keeping fish 8 years. |
No offensive to petsmart but I wouldn't even ask them, I would find fish you like the do internet research you will have much better luck. This is a really big forum someone can almost always help you out. It's really hard to find employees or people in general that know all about every kind of fish. I just don't normally take any stores advise in till I prove it. |
The advise given is good. By the way your fish are not midas but the ones in my avatar are. Your fish are more than likely a hybrid mix of red devils and midas. That being said these fish are absolutely ferocious. Let me give you an example. My 5in female took control over a entire 125 for the most part with a pair of cuban cichlids and silver dollars. These fish are nasty and unless you have at least a 6ft tank I wouldn't even think of adding any other fish even a pleco. Males get massive and IMO need a 125. Females could maybe work in a 75. These are large, powerful, and aggressive fish and need their room. Both oscars and midas top out at around 14" and some get even bigger. |
No your fish is a hybrid between a midas(amphilophus citrinellus) and a red devil(amphilohus labiatum). |

Rev. Thomas E. Chambers

P.S. Please help us to honor the memory of our founder, Archbishop Philip M. Hannan, as we continue the mission to educate, inform and inspire through television and digital media. Please give as generously as you can.
WLAE… We're Local And Effective
I recently had to write a report for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The theme of the report was the local content and programming produced by WLAE. As I delved into the report, I soon began to realize that when you step back and take a look, at WLAE, we produce a large amount of local programming. Adding it all up came to over 10 hours a week. That's over 40 hours a month. That's over 480 hours a year. That's a lot!
How do we accomplish all of this? Having a great staff of dedicated employees sure helps, but partnering with area businesses and organizations really makes all of this possible. Here are three key factors.
Local Value
For over 28 years, WLAE has been an essential part of New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana. Over the years, we have built a reputation for quality content that is both wholesome and trustworthy. The high level of need for accurate, unbiased, community-based programming in our region is critical. WLAE uses its production strengths in the areas of public affairs, health and education to affirm its value to the community.
Local Service
Many of our local programs address the community priorities listed in our strategic plan. From live "call in" shows about healthcare to informative panel discussions with government and civic leaders, WLAE strives to serve the region with content that viewers can use to better their lives.
Local Impact
"The Hello Health partnership between WLAE and Ochsner Hospital has proved very beneficial for our patients and physicians. Not only are we able to reach the public with valuable medical information on television, but also via website streaming and at our community outreach seminars."
Susan M. Piglia, Director, Corporate Wellness at Ochsner
"Working with WLAE has been an enlightening and gratifying experience. Their professionalism is evident on every level, but so is their enthusiasm for the culture and beauty of Louisiana."
Renee Kientz – V.P., Communications St. Tammany Tourist Commission
Be on the lookout for two new local productions coming to WLAE this summer. On Sunday, June 24th, the Go Coast: Louisiana series premieres and on Sunday, August 26th the much anticipated Glory Days – Part II will debut.
Happy Viewing!
Ron Yager
Vice President and General Manager WLAE-TV
2011 Year End Letter from Ron Yager
Dear Friends of WLAE:
As I look back and reflect on 2011, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you, our loyal stakeholders, for your support of WLAE during the past year. Whether it was through financial means, words of encouragement, volunteerism or prayer, your generosity is always much needed and greatly appreciated. This past year we lost the founder of WLAE, Archbishop Philip M. Hannan. In 1984, Archbishop Hannan created WLAE as a way to use emerging media to educate, inform and inspire the people of New Orleans. Archbishop Hannan's vision still holds true today as many of the core values that he established at WLAE are ongoing, especially in the presentation of The Daily Mass on television and around the world via the internet. Archbishop Hannan was truly a man ahead of his time and will be missed by everyone who was touched by his incredible life.
As a way to honor Archbishop Hannan, WLAE has created a tribute DVD featuring the Archbishop in several past productions and programs. Some of the highlights of the DVD include the Papal visit of Pope John Paul II from1987, The Three Archbishops of New Orleans from the Church Alive television series and a feature about the Catholic Foundation. WLAE would be happy to send you a copy of this DVD as our thank-you gift for any contribution that you make to our annual appeal at $50 or above. For any contributions made at $100 or more, we will also send you a DVD of the Archbishop Hannan Funeral Mass. You can order these items on the shop page on the WLAE website.
Your year-end donation is fully tax deductible and will help us keep some of your favorite programs on the air such as The News Hour, Charlie Rose, Greater New Orleans and the Daily Mass from St. Louis Cathedral.
Please know that WLAE is here to serve you and the viewers of Southeast Louisiana. Once again, I thank each of you for financially and prayerfully supporting our efforts and send my warmest holiday wishes to you and your family. Your gift of support, however large or small, goes a long way to help making WLAE- More Than Television.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Ron Yager
Vice President & General Manager

Starting from the point of pure energy/consciousness at 0 degrees Aries which creates unconscious Matter (Taurus ) and the unconscious "mind" of Matter (Gemini).
0 Cancer represents the emergence of cells of life which progresses to the experience of Individual life forms (Leo) and the organization of these life forms (Virgo).
Passage into Libra signifies that the animal develops mental capacities. This is the stage at which Vital/animal instincts no longer rule and there is great tension between animal instincts and the growning consciousness of the mind. This creates great oppositions, wars and hording of resources (Scorpio). And this state demands resolution by death or by breaking through to the higher capacities of Mind (Sagittarius).
In terms of the larger evolutionary stages, Norelli-Bachelet sees entrance into Capricorn as a step into the Supramental Phase of Evolution, in which all the previous accomplishments of Evolution become fully coordinated and harmonized, rather than at odds. Capricorn signifies a realization of the Truth of Matter, Aquarius signifies a universal brotherhood of Man based on Supramental Gnosis and Technologies and Pisces signifies experience of the highest vibrations of love based on the Truth of Being and Becoming, based on a full or 360 degree vision of all parts of the whole. This 4th Quadrant represents the Swar realm in Vedic terminology based on a terrestrial (not otherworldly) "Truth-Consciousness-Bliss" or Satchitandada (Capricorn-Aquarius-Pisces).

Which interaction was so disturbing it had to be axed from a show that celebrates the bizarre?AdvertisementWarning: Clip is safe for work, but maybe not for eyes.The footage, which will never make it to air, was shown as a special treat for fans at the SCIENCE Channel's NYCC panel (Oddities is shown on both the Discovery Channel and SCIENCE, its sister network).AdvertisementWe also learned few fun tidbits from the main Oddities castmembers, Obscura shop owners Mike Zohn and Evan Michelson and buyer Ryan Matthew:The most-bought items in the store are hoodwinks (Masonic "initiation goggles"), varied taxidermy and human teeth.Of all the strange, wonderful, and downright creepy objects offered to the shop, what was unequivocally turned down? We heard that a mummified corndog from a 1982 Van Halen concert took the cake — especially as the seller wanted thousands of dollars for that piece of rock 'n' roll history.SponsoredMichelson added that the only offered "collectible" that truly unsettled her was what the seller insisted was a "mummified head from a hospital in Egypt." She was at the shop late at night when the man came in with his bundle, and when unwrapped, she saw that the head was old but not mummified, with strips of skin still clinging, did not appear to be of Egyptian descent, and a strong metallic scent filled the shop that gave the staff intense headaches. Needless to say, the nightmarish head was not purchased, and its origins remain a mystery.

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) are up 13 cents, or 0.9%, this morning at $14.70 amidst buzz that its "Tegra" chip is gaining ground.
I reported earlier that the Asian electronics trade pub DigiTimes did a report quoting anonymous sources saying the Tegra's second version, Tegra 2, may show up in numerous tablet computers next year.
Citigroup's Glen Yeung this morning raised his estimates for Nvidia, noting that Citi's research suggests Samsung (SSNLF) has "placed a sizeable order with Nvidia for Tegra 2 chips in the first half of 2011, geared for both tablets and smartphones." The order could be $250 million to $350 million for Tegra, which is more than his current full-year 2011 estimate of Tegra revenue of $275 million.
Yeung's estimate for fiscal 2011 EPS, the fiscal year ending in January, is 33 cents, up from 28 cents previously. His 2012 estimate goes to 89 cents, up from 70 cents previously.
Yeung notes Tegra is the "reference design" for Google's (GOOG) "Honeycomb" version of the Android operating system — the version that is meant to be modified to more properly support tablet computers. While delays in Honeycomb mean that there may not be as much of a tablet show for Nvidia at the CES convention in January in Las Vegas, nevertheless, Yeung expects Nvidia to have a good year in tablets.
Yeung maintains a Buy rating on Nvidia, and raised his price target to $20 from a prior $17.

Natural Gas Futures Decline on Outlook for Ample Winter Supplies
Christine BuurmaNatural gas futures dropped in New York for the first time in four days on speculation that cold weather in the central U.S. won't be enough to eliminate a surplus of the heating fuel.
Gas fell 0.8 percent as Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland, predicted below-average temperatures in the Midwest from Oct. 20 through Oct. 24 and normal readings on the East Coast. Gas inventories totaled 3.577 trillion cubic feet in the seven days ended Oct. 4, 1.6 percent above the five-year average, Energy Information Administration data show.
"Even if we have a cold front, we'll have plenty of supply," said Phil Flynn, a senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. "The market is a little bit overextended and traders have been overplaying the cold weather."
Natural gas for November delivery fell 3 cents to settle at $3.79 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Trading volume was 11 percent above the 100-day average at 2:44 p.m. Prices have advanced 13 percent this year. The futures reached $3.82 per million Btu yesterday, the highest settlement price since June 20.
The discount of November to December futures narrowed 0.1 cent to 14.5 cents. November gas traded 23.7 cents below the January contract, compared with 23.9 cents yesterday.
Goldman Recommendation
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ended its recommendation to buy November $4.20 calls, said Samantha Dart, senior energy economist at the bank in London, in a note to clients today. The trade has lost about 30 cents since Goldman suggested it in April, the bank said in the report.
January $3.05 puts were the most active options in electronic trading. They were 0.1 cent lower at 0.6 cent per million Btu on volume of 870 at 2:44 p.m. Puts accounted for 44 percent of trading volume. Implied volatility for November at-the-money options was 31.63 percent at 2:45 p.m., compared with 31.88 percent yesterday.
Year-on-year gas production growth was 1.3 billion cubic feet a day from April to August, compared with 0.4 billion a day in the first quarter, driven by rapid increases from the Marcellus shale formation in the U.S. Northeast, Dart said in the report. The supply gains contributed to lower-than-forecast gas prices, she said.
Marketed gas output may climb 1.2 percent this year to a record 70 billion cubic feet a day, the EIA said Oct. 8 in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook. The agency increased its estimate from 69.91 billion a day forecast in September.
Energy Needs
The U.S. met 87 percent of its own energy needs in the first six months of 2013, on pace to be the highest annual rate since 1986, according to the EIA.
The EIA ceased operations on Oct. 11 and will remain closed for the duration of the government shutdown. Data releases, including the weekly gas inventory report, will not be published.
The low in Chicago on Oct. 20 may be 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 Celsius), 3 less than average, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. The low in New York may be 49 degrees, matching the normal temperature.
About 49 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating, EIA data show.

"Our customers have ambitious sustainability goals, yet often struggle with where and how to get started," said Randy Kates, Director, Global Scientific Business, Kimberly-Clark Professional. "We believe the most significant and enduring change occurs when team members are actively engaged in the solution. Our innovative RightCycle program offers a powerful and easy way for customers to exceed their solid waste reduction goals, while helping to make their workplaces healthier, safer and more productive."
The program takes recycling to a new level – beyond downcycling, upcycling and other approaches. It makes it easy to recycle previously hard-to-recycle items like cleanroom garments, gloves, hoods, boot covers and hairnets. Items are deposited in either a RightCycle collection box or in the client's own boxes. Full boxes are assembled onto pallets and picked up by Kimberly-Clark Professional recycling partner TerraCycle. After the products are collected, they are turned into raw materials and used to create useful, eco-friendly consumer products, such as plastic Adirondack chairs and benches, bulk plastics and other items.
Kimberly-Clark Professional is a global leader in contamination control solutions for cleanrooms and laboratories. It first announced its single-use garment recycling program in 2011 and completed successful pilots of a nitrile glove recycling program in 2012, which is now available nationwide. Since the recycling efforts began, participating cleanrooms and laboratories have diverted 70,000 pounds of garment, glove and other waste from landfills via the Kimberly-Clark Professional recycling programs. Life Technologies Corporation, a leading global life sciences company, is on track to recycle five tons of gloves in the first year.
The disposal of solid waste from manufacturing operations poses considerable challenges for businesses and society. Landfill options are becoming more limited and waste disposal costs continue to rise. In 2011, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, the parent company for Kimberly-Clark Professional, announced it would be sending zero manufacturing waste to landfills by 2015. Since 2000, the company's Global Nonwovens Division, which develops and manufactures fabrics and materials used to create products such as protective apparel and face masks, has diverted more than 99 percent of its manufacturing waste from landfills.

Reclining on a partially submerged lounger in the infinity pool, watching buffalo lazily munch through fields to each side as the Arabian Sea crashes on to a palm fringed beach beyond... it's a very different picture to the neon full-moon parties and bustling beaches of North Goa.
But I am in Majorda, a coastal resort in the south of India's smallest state, where the image is one of glamorous hotels strung loosely down the coast with the exclusive edge of space and tranquillity.
The Alila Diwa (Diwa means heaven in Sanskrit), is the latest addition to South Goa's luxury contingent. Celebrating its first anniversary this month, the hotel has introduced a slice of Balinese chic to Goa. Part of the exclusive Alila group, which was founded in Bali by a group of Amanresorts stakeholders, the Diwa features a design that combines Balinese and Indian coastal architecture.
The aesthetic is one of subtle shades of teak, local red stone, polished Rajasthani stone floors, steeply pitched red roofs, open-sided walls and brass lanterns, which bestow a magical soft sparkle at night. From the serene colonnaded walkways and the courtyard fountains, to the chill-out tunes (from Ravi Shankar to Jack Johnson) on the iPods available to borrow, a serene ambience prevails throughout.
From this month, things are set to get a little busier – and glitzier – with the opening of a spa and the Diwa Wing, a hotel-within-a-hotel which contains 35 Club rooms and suites that come with added privacy and luxuries such as a private pool, limousine transfers, a personal host and complimentary all-day breakfasts.
For those who have exhausted the buffet's capabilities, or for those guests staying in the main resort, attentive concierges are on hand to arrange excursions. A trip to a spice plantation might be followed by a visit to the area's best baker or the feni (lethal local cashew liquor) distillery.
Meanwhile, chefs from the Spice Studio restaurant (which specialises in coastal cooking from Goa, Karnataka and Kerala) will take guests to the local fish market at dawn to select the daily catch for cooking lessons back at the hotel. For couples who would rather have others slave over a hot stove, private dinners can be arranged at sunset spots or on the beach.
Those who still have room can enjoy cardamom--and-ginger flavoured chai and snacks such as pani puri (stuffed fried hollow dough with spicy liquid dip) by the pool, or stock up in the boutique on spiced local cashews and home-made mango pickle made from fruit from the hotel's trees.
Surrounded by lush rice plantations and fields populated with wild peacock, buffalo and piglets, the Alila Diwa is a blissful distance away from hectic North Goa. However it is still just a 20-minute drive south from the state's main airport. Planning rules have forbidden Alila from building right on the coastline. But the peaceful, if slightly rubbish strewn Majorda beach is a 500m stroll through the tiny village, little more than a pretty white church and rows of brightly painted homes. The hotel also runs a frequent shuttle bus.
Half an hour's drive away is Chandor, where Goa's Portuguese heritage manifests itself in the colonial homes and whitewashed churches. One of its most noted residents is the sprightly but stern 93-year-old Aida Menezes-Braganza, and the hotel guides all know her. Simply knock on her front door and she will proudly take you on a tour of her glorious antique packed 17th-century family home, built on landed gifted to her ancestors by the King of Portugal.
All the 114 rooms and suites come with balconies and terraces. Elegantly simple pale wood and cream surroundings are set off by luxury linens in shades of brown and russet and lattice screens. In keeping with the tone of the hotel, the light switch buttons by your bed invite you to choose between relax, read, dimmer or intimate while treats such as petit fours and chocolate desserts are delivered at turndown.
The group apparently prides itself on offering a "bathroom experience", and lives up to this declaration with sumptuous candle lit baths and a range of deliciously scented Alila Living brand unguents in silver containers (though there are a few too many hints to steer you to purchase your own in the boutique).
The full spa is due to open in January but until then rooms have been set aside for treatments. Balinese ladies offer the most sublime massages and beauty treatments that include a Baileys milk bath to the soothing tones of Norah Jones or a Gentleman's Club bath with Montecristo cigars and a Frank Sinatra background.
Alila Diwa, Village Majorda, Adao Waddo, Salcette, Goa, India (00 91 832 274 6800; aliladiwagoa.com)
Double rooms start at R9,139 (£129), including breakfast. Rooms in the Diwa wing start at Rs14,280 (£201).

Last fall, Salpointe Catholic football coach Dennis Bene put together one of the best seasons Tucson has ever seen, going 14-0 to claim the program's first state title.
A year before that, Ironwood Ridge coach Matt Johnson knocked off a pair of Phoenix-area powers twice to win the Division II state championship and finish 13-1.
Both coaches took a different path to get to the top, but they have one thing in common: Both are among the best in Tucson prep football history.
After taking a look back last summer at the best football players to come from Southern Arizona, we're shifting the spotlight to the leaders on the sidelines or in the skyboxes.
Today officially kicks off the countdown to the high school football season as we rank Tucson's top 25 football coaches of all time over the next 3ƒ weeks.
Bene? Check.
Johnson? Check.
That leaves room for 23 others on the list. Who else made our cut?
Over the last several weeks, fellow Star reporters Chuck Constantino, Jason Harris, Kyle Johnson and I have spent time digging into our archives and record books to see who we felt belonged in the conversation.
We also consulted with columnist Greg Hansen for his unrivaled knowledge to help with the rankings along with copy editor Bill Betterton, a longtime Tucson resident who previously spent 15 years as a high school sports correspondent for the Star.
Every day through Aug. 3, we will reveal the next coach in our countdown. We begin today with Gary Minor, who turned Ironwood Ridge from the new kids on the block to one of the local powers.
Producing our list was not easy, but I am more than satisfied with what we have produced.
There are obvious names such as Ollie Mayfield, Jeff Scurran and Howard Breinig. Perhaps longtime Flowing Wells coach Larry Hart is also on our list for leading the Caballeros to the state finals six times and winning the 4A championship in 1975.
Then there's Sunnyside coach Richard Sanchez; he didn't do too bad in his 18 seasons with the Blue Devils, right? And who could forget the legendary Vern Friedli, who amassed 288 wins in his 36 seasons at Amphitheater and finished with a state-record 331 victories. Although I feel we have these coaches ranked right, I know not everyone will agree. That's why I would like to encourage you to chime in online
and let us know each day what you think. Did we rank a coach too low, too high or flat out leave someone off?
Either way, it's a win-win situation because the best way to count down to the football season is by talking about football, so let's hope the next 43 days can help get everyone in the mood for Friday Night Lights.

Luis Rojas will return as manager of the Savannah Sand Gnats, the local Class A team and its parent organization, the New York Mets announced Monday.
Joining Rojas will be his entire staff from last year including pitching coach Frank Viola and coach Joel Fuentes. Rojas led the single-A Gnats to a 69-67 record last season and a fifth-place finish overall in the 14-team South Atlantic League. Savannah narrowly missed the first half pennant with a 41-26 record.
"It is a blessing, and I'm very excited to be coming back to Savannah," said Rojas. "We'll put together a strong Sand Gnats team as usual to compete all the way through the postseason."
Luis Rojas is entering his eighth year with the Mets. He continues his career as a third-year manager.
Rojas played in the minor leagues for four years (Baltimore Orioles, Florida Marlins, Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals) before taking coaching and managing roles. He carries his family's well-known baseball legacy. Rojas' father, Filipe Alou, played for 17 years and is currently the Special Assistant to the General Manager of the San Francisco Giants. Rojas' brother, Moises Alou, also played for 17 years. His uncles, Jesus Alou and the late Matty Alou, both played for 15 years in the Major Leagues.
Viola found his niche as a pitching coach for Brooklyn (A) of the New York-Penn league in 2011 after previously managing and coaching at the collegiate and high school levels. His pitchers boasted a 3.33 ERA in the 2012 season, which finished in the top spot in the South Atlantic League. Savannah also had a league best ERA in 2011 (3.26) and has been in the top two in each of the last four seasons.
Viola's professional baseball experience dates back to 1981. He won both a World Series title and the World Series MVP award in '87. He earned the American League Cy Young Award the following year. Viola totaled 15 seasons as a MLB pitcher, including stints with the Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds and Toronto Blue Jays. His daughter, Brittany, a member of the USA Diving team, competed in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
Fuentes begins his seventh year with the Mets. This will be his third year as a coach with the Sand Gnats. He began his coaching career in 2007 in Savannah, but joined the St. Lucie Mets staff in 2008. He spent 2009 and 2010 coaching in New York for the Brooklyn Cyclones and returned to St. Lucie in 2011.
Fuentes played for seven years (1997-2003) in the San Francisco Giants organization.
"I'm really excited to have our entire coaching staff back for 2013," said Sand Gnats team president, John Katz. "Luis, Frank and Joel did a tremendous job developing our talent last season, and we expect to have another dynamic pitching staff for the fifth-straight season. Veteran leadership in the clubhouse is critical to success at this level, and we have a great foundation for a winning club."
Tom Truedson, the South Atlantic League's Athletic Trainer of the Year in 2011, and strength and conditioning coach Jason Griffin are also returning.
The Sand Gnats open the 2013 season at Historic Grayson Stadium on April 4 at 6:35 p.m. against the Rome Braves.

Data reduction and error analysis for the physical sciencesThe purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the concepts of statistical analysis of data for students at the undergraduate and graduate level, and to provide tools for data reduction and error analysis commonly required in the physical sciences. The presentation is developed from a practical point of view, including enough derivation to justify the results, but emphasizing methods of handling data more than theory. The text provides a variety of numerical and graphical techniques. Computer programs that support these techniques will be available on an accompanying website in both Fortran and C++. |
What people are saying - Write a review

This book is one of the few I've found in which the finer details of error analysis and statistics aren't "swept under the rug." It's an excellent book, and I've used it countless times since my first year as a Physics major.
User Review - Flag as inappropriate
For over a decade this book has been my go-to source for methods of calculating uncertainty and for methods of non-linear model fitting. If I could only have a handful of technical books, this would be one of them.

Within this Halstead Heat Exchangers category we list either Primary (main) heat exchangers, secondary or domestic hot water (DHW) heat exchangers (plate exchangers) and some boilers have a single heat exchanger that deals with both heating and hot water. Primary heat exchangers tend to deal with the central heating whereas secondary heat exchangers deal with the domestic hot water. All our Halstead Heat Exchangers are new and genuine manufacturer spares.
