In Puppet Fundamentals students will learn the right way to manage an infrastructure.
Students will start by installing Puppet Enterprise, then learn Puppet best practices and use Puppet to write simple classes, and update and extend existing modules. Puppet Fundamentals is taught through a combination of lecture and relevant, real world, hands-on exercises.
After completing this course, students will be able to deploy basic system configurations using best practices for Puppet in a Master-Agent setup.
In this course, we expect students to have little to no experience with Puppet Enterprise (or Puppet Open Source) and are looking to build a foundation for future growth, experience, and knowledge.
- The fundamental component roles that make up Puppet Enterprise (and Puppet Open Source).
- The core concepts for the Puppet DSL, including:
- Modules and Classes
- Classification
- Resources
- Relationships

More Dispatches from the SLA Virtual Conference (as They Pertain to Genealogy)
Day 2 was similar in format and time to day 1. Three separate sessions with 45 minute breaks in between (most attendees were information professionals likely tuning in from their places of employment). Each session was offered as a GoToMeeting webinar with a distinct, unique log-in url. Session titles are in bold.
Ninja Skills for Librarians
Jennifer Doyle and Jill Strand
This session was received well at the 2013 SLA conference in San Diego, so they included it as part of their virtual conference. I'm glad they did.
The two speakers were friends and black belts in their respective martial arts disciplines. Much of martial arts deal with the mind and how you think and approach a situation. The speakers channeled that train of thought and applied it to information professionals.
They broke their presentation down into levels, similar to the colored belts one attains in martial arts. Here are some of the achievements:
Confidence - the speakers discussed introverts because there are so many in the library world. When you're not feeling confident, act like an extrovert. "Fake it til you make it" is a common saying in the info pro world. At a genealogy conference many years ago, I was approached by an employee at a Very Important Genealogy Entity and asked if I take paid work. "Yes," I said (I hadn't). Then the person asked if I ever go to Slighty Intimidating Special Archives in my area. "Oh yes," I nodded as though I go there every Tuesday (I'd never been there). And that's how I got my first paid genealogy gig.
Balance - this one seems self explanatory, but the speakers made a good point. Obviously we need to work to achieve our own balance, but we also need to be aware of those who don't have balance. Don't let them upset yours. Sadly, this is a big issue in the more cantankerous corners of the genealogy sandbox. Don't let the "unbalanced" ones get to you.
Strategy - this applied to librarians in complex organizations, but I thought it was a good takeaway for the genealogy world, too. The speakers emphasized that you don't always have to win. Sometimes it's best to let competitors go to market first, let them make mistakes, then you can learn from what you see. Think about what you want to accomplish before taking action.
Negotiation - in the information professional world this includes vendor relations, company issues and general life. Here was my favorite takeaway: Is it more important to be right, or to maintain a good relationship so we can achieve our common goal? The professional genealogy field is somewhat divisive right now. Too many trying to be right, no discussion on the common goal.
I really liked this session. I wish I could see (or even design) something similar for genealogy, but I don't think it would be received well. The audience expects a talk on records and a handout. This ninja-style presentation is different and "different" doesn't go over well. Maybe I'll hash it out anyway and try it on a smaller audience. But I digress.....
Contributed Papers: Outgoogling Google and An Ethnographic Approach to the Knowledge Audit
John Coll and William Cook
This session was made of two discussions on contributed papers. The knowledge audit one--though interesting--had nothing I could transfer to genealogy, so I won't discuss it here.
The speaker for the Outgoogling Google paper was from the National Library of Scotland. This was a discussion on the use of Google and Google Scholar over library services. This is a very familiar topic in library circles. There were some statistics presented, including a study of doctoral students who relied mostly on Google for their research (shudder).
There's a continuous movement to illustrate the value-added services of libraries in terms of research. Do your users know you (the librarian) know things they don't? Librarians can provide further guidance on the research subject, filter down to the "good stuff," share their knowledge, save time and get better results. Unfortunately they don't always advertise that fact.
The speaker shared about the National Library of Scotland website and user expectations. Users want a single search box...just like Google. So the speaker showed how they achieved that while still providing the best possible search experience and results. I don't think genealogists realize how much time and energy goes into improving user experiences. Librarians are always thinking about ways to improve their systems. Keep that in mind as you navigate the genealogy information highway.
Practitioner Best Picks: Best CI Techniques in Legal, Science and Finance
Anne Herron, Alex Ilg and John Jackson
This session was about competitive intelligence (CI) but you know I can mine that information and apply it to genealogy.
The session involved three speakers, each speaking on one of the above fields. The first speaker (finance information professional) discussed the importance of knowing your client. He referenced what he called the (Peter) Drucker Three:
What is our business? Who is our customer? What does the customer value?
In terms of professional genealogy, who is your customer? The answers will probably vary a bit. A few months back, I ruffled feathers by saying that a certain membership-based genealogy group did not provide enough value for me to retain active status, so I left. This is the point I was trying to make. Value is a "thing" and the genealogy field needs to address it. I encourage you to look at all the genealogy things you pay for and figure out their value to you. If you're in the genealogy biz (societies, too), make sure your services or products provide value and that you understand your customer/user/client.
Let's talk about the reference interview. This was brought up in several sessions including this one. When you first contact a librarian, he or she will initiate a reference interview. This is done to determine what you're looking for so they can provide the right materials or answers. Often people will ask for one thing, but it turns out they really want another. A reference interview hashes that out at the beginning, saving time and getting better results for everyone.
When it comes to dealing with genealogy clients, I often go the reference interview route, too. People email me and ask "I need help! How much to you charge?" I reply back with a bunch of questions because I need to define the project before I can put a price tag on it. This can go on for several replies and potential clients get antsy because they want a price. But I can't give you a price until I know what the project will entail. That's just how I roll. One time I contacted a professional genealogist about doing some work for my own family history. She replied back with a price list. That's it. No questions about what I wanted and was hoping to accomplish. Thanks and buh-bye.
Much is written and discussed in library circles about user experience. It is essential because libraries need users to keep going. Do you see how this translates to the genealogy field? Ancestry.com needs users. Genealogy societies need users. Your professional genealogy business needs users. Your genealogy blog that you just write for fun needs users. Take a hard look at your corner of the genealogy world and see if you know who your users are and what they value.
I'm really glad I spent the money to attend this SLA virtual conference. I wasn't sure how relevant it would be since I'm straddling the information field right now but I found lots to keep me current in research practices.
I tried my best to cull information relevant to the business of genealogy and discuss it here. I hope it did help a few of you. If not, then better luck next time.

Loved your "fake it til you make it" story!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks. I figured it was funny and it might help some take the plunge to fake it until they make it.Delete
I liked that story too. But it's true. You have to exude confidence in order to gain it.Delete
What is competitive intelligence?
I took a class on Information Retrieval Search Strategies while in library school. Best.Class.Ever. I learned a lot about how search engines work and how to make them better.
Ginger, my school offered two info retrieval classes. I took them both and they were the best thing about the program. I still use that knowledge today.Delete
Competitive intelligence deals with gathering info on competitors, companies, products, people, etc. (all through legal means, of course). The skills and tricks for doing that are handy for finding living people online, so I like to read up and stay current in that area.

'Argo'-go Ben Affleck!
Ben Affleck was clearly giddy when he took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the cast of "Argo," which took the SAG award for ensemble in a motion picture. As the latest in a run of unexpected wins for the thriller, "Argo" is now the film to beat at the Oscars. And judging from Affleck's over-the-moon acceptance speech, he's got the same thing on his mind.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Inside story: Custom features outweigh tiny lot
Address: 824 Village Road
Neighborhood: Village Place
Asking: $675,000
Assessment: $598,900
Year Built: 2008
Size: 3,298 fin. sq. ft. / 2,068 unfin.
Land: 0.19 acres
Agent: Roger Voisinet, Re/Max Realty Specialists, 434-974-1500
Curb Appeal: 9 out of 10
This contemporary is a custom-built bungalow in Village Place, a new development of craftsman style homes a few turns off JPA in Johnson Village. Like Kellytown and other new city developments, here paint colors are harmonious without matching, and each house has its own look, although front yards are teeny. Houses are grouped closely together: the view from the dining room window of this one is the siding of the next one.
For folks not too discriminating about such matters, the place could provide gracious living for a big family or folks who like to entertain. The pedestrian-friendly neighborhood is convenient to downtown, UVA, and the medical center.
Inside, on the first level a central corridor passes the living room, currently used as an office with built-in bookcases and hardwood floor. The separate formal dining room is intimate, unlike most recent construction where kitchen and dining areas are usually combined. The wall dividing the living and dining rooms has a gas fireplace on each side.
As usual, the focal point of the house is the kitchen, which has been designed to accommodate lots of people and food prep with counter space galore and a long bar, all in brown granite. The extra-wide bar divides the kitchen from the family room, which has been extended about four feet beyond the original line of the house. It's comfortable for oversized furniture and big TV, and its coffered ceiling is an interestingly elegant architectural detail.
An extra-large pantry and laundry room with built-in cubbies, cabinets, and closet– plus a frontloading Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer– rounds out the first floor.
A screened-in porch off the family room leads to a nicely landscaped and fenced backyard. Beyond, tall trees in a shared common space provide some relief from the bunched houses.
Downstairs, the large unfinished basement has a roughed-in bath, a door to the garden, and a couple of windows with plantation shutters providing a little light in one corner. The shutters soften the stark basement atmosphere and hint at what the place might look like when finished as an in-law or nanny apartment— or just a typical rec room for teens. Next to the front door, a two-car garage looks like part of the house.
The second level is carpeted. The master, with a tray ceiling, is not a huge space, but it fits a king bed and chunky furniture. Of two walk-in California closets, one is significantly larger than the other, but the smaller one has a built-in safe! The master bath is what buyers expect in a new house at this price– jetted tub, tiled shower with double showerheads and bench, double sinks....
Next to the master is a princess suite (bedroom and bath). Two additional bedrooms are comfortable, with a third bath off the hall between them. Double sinks and separate tub and WC means a crowd could get ready without much hassle.
The house offers custom details in almost every room: control panels for heating, cooling, fans, and lighting, plus whole-house speakers and security system. Although the houses in this part of Johnson Village are close, space inside seems unusually spacious. The price reflects the location, custom upgrades, and square footage.
Each week, a brave local seller invites the Hook to provide an impartial, warts-and-all look at their real estate listing. E-mail yours today!

"was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell... the third day he rose again..." at 1:02 in the video. Jesus was supposed to have gone to hell during that time? Well fuck, was there a mix-up of some kind? How did I not know this?
"and blessed is the fruit of thy wound juices"?????? 2:50 What the fuck?
4.55 - lost the will to live and switched it off. What a load of mumbling crud! If there really was some kind of deity up there listening, he'd be changing the channel at a rate of knots.
How ridiculous!
Yeah, god gave jesus a few days off. When jesus went to hades, it was the best three days of his life. I remember going into a trance while saying rosary. If us 3rd graders got too unruly,we got to say rosary until the bell. And just in case you "lost" your beads, they had "glow in the dark" backup beads.
Aside from the confession stuff, I always wondered the same thing about church altogether. If every Christian is free to own a bible, read it and pray then what's the purpose of church aside from weddings and funerals?? I never understood the purpose of having a priest "preach" to you what's inside one book that everyone can read as much as they want on their own anyway.

How is traffic safety improved by telling people that traveling 12 mph above the posted speed limit is acceptable?
I suggest Increasing most speed limits by 10 mph instead. That would stop the practice of slowing down otherwise safe traffic flows simply for the purpose of raising revenue.
Drivers obeying speed limits that are set too low cause accidents when other people are forced to change lanes trying to get around them.

The winter season is here, and with this time of year comes breezy days and clear, beautiful skies. Temperatures can be mild or chilly, but don�t let that stop you from enjoying the outdoors.
The winter season is here, and with this time of year comes breezy days and clear, beautiful skies. Temperatures can be mild or chilly, but don�t let that stop you from enjoying the outdoors.
We have some beautiful natural resources in Northwest Florida, and there is no reason why the winter season should keep us indoors. Many activities can be enjoyed year round right in our backyard. Hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, camping, birding, fishing and walking are such pastimes.
We have access to public parks, state forests and Eglin Air Force Base Reservation, which you can access with a recreation pass from Jackson Guard in Niceville. Hiking, in particular, is lovely and there are many trails available. Check out a local hiking group if you are looking for ideas or starting out.
Water resources can still be utilized this time of year. North winds bring calmer waves on the beach and the bright, clear skies make winter walks quite enjoyable. Our many estuaries, rivers and lakes are also great to enjoy from a boat, canoe or kayak, or just enjoy them from a pier or a boat ramp.
Winter fishing is another option. Local fishing reports can update you on what to catch and where. Typically, redfish and black drum are great to fish for this time of year. Responsible angling practices are non-negotiable, so recycle your fishing line in monofilament recycling bins. You can find these bins at your local marinas and fishing piers, but if an area needs one, contact the county extension office. Know your size and catch limits for the fish you target and check the state and federal water fishing regulations when heading offshore. These regulations appear at MyFWC.com.
Want to take a more active role and do a service project or volunteer during the winter months? There are many opportunities. One example is the National Audubon Society�s Christmas Bird Count. For the first time, participation is free. See http://birds.audubon.org/christmas-bird-count for a site near you and full details.
Getting outside for a nice walk, long hike, camping trip or many of the other possibilities can keep you and your family active.
So get out of the house and enjoy the great outdoors!

Is your drug more effective than your competitors' drugs? Of course, right? Would your company be willing to prove it?
In order for a drug to be used by consumers, it has to have been demonstrated to be safe and effective. Meeting these two requirements seems like reason enough for a product to be on the market. However, with the cost of healthcare skyrocketing it has become more important to cut costs. This means that stakeholders in healthcare now want to see data that goes beyond safety and effectiveness to demonstrate that a drug is either better than other available treatments or comparable but more cost effective.
Industry experts have urged pharmaceutical manufacturers to invest in comparative clinical effectiveness research with increasing urgency over the past several years. Some companies
have invested, but others appear to have been too worried about what the outcomes would be to take the risk without being legally compelled to produce comparative data. The reality is that if a study was to show that a drug either did not improve outcomes over other treatments or was equally effective but more expensive, the reimbursement rate of that drug may be dropped.
Like it or not, pharmaceutical companies will soon be faced with the implications of comparative studies. The $787 billion economic stimulus bill passed by congress has $1.1 billion earmarked for comparative clinical trial effectiveness research. The goal of the bill is to improve care and cut costs by providing physicians and healthcare consumers with better information about the relative effectiveness of their treatment options. The research dollars will be split between studies on drugs, medical devices and procedures. However, the question remains: will the focus be as much on cost as it is on clinical effectiveness? Given that prescription drug spending has been one of the fastest growing components of national healthcare spending in the US market, it is reasonably safe to assume that a significant portion of the $1.1 billion dollars will go towards verifying the clinical effectiveness of some of the more costly drug treatments.
The role of the pharmaceutical industry in the comparative research initiative is complex. There is the potential for both financial gains and losses depending on the studies' outcomes. In this regard, it is important that organizations, such as PhRMA, take part in shaping the policy framework that will govern the goals of comparative effectiveness studies. The industry will continue to lobby for the focus of drug studies to be on clinical effectiveness only, regardless of cost. However, in the current economic climate it is unlikely that the cost of drugs to payers and patients would not be considered an important factor.

Mozilla Firefox is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Google searches from its site by default, in a move that will increase the security protections afforded to about a quarter of total internet users.
The change was built into the web browser's nightly beta builds but would not appear in the final stable releases for several months, according to US security and privacy researcher Christopher Soghoian.
Google's 'Speedy' experimental protocol for transporting web content was also expected to be used.
SSL could help protect users from some forms of censorship and monitoring, and prevent leakage of referral header information which provided web sites with the search terms used to reach their sites.
Referrer data concerns privacy pundits because it has the potential to expose sensitive user data such as location.
The incorporation of SSL by default into browsers was considered a death knell for referrer data, Soghoian said.
Google users signed into their accounts have had SSL searches by default since October. But SSL was not yet set as default in Google's Chrome browser.
Chrome software engineer Adam Langley appaulded the move by Mozilla but said SSL would not yet be introduced into Chrome because it affects speed and functionality.
"We would welcome Firefox giving their users the option to use encrypted search. However, at this time we don't feel that our encrypted search offers the features and speed that our users expect and so we wouldn't want it to be the default," he said in a post. "We are working towards making encrypted search as fast and complete as unencrypted search, but we're not there yet."
Soghoain attacked Google, claiming the search company had discouraged Mozilla from using SSL by default, reportedly because it was more resource-intensive and lacked some functionality. He added that SSL should "at the very least" be made an option for Mozilla users for versions later than Firefox 4.0.
In December, AllThingsDigital reported that Google would pay Mozilla about $US300 million a year for three years to ensure it was the default search provider in Firefox browsers.

Last week, Palace Entertainment, operator of the Silver Springs attraction, closed Ross Allen Island in preparation for the $4 million renovation of the park.
As a child, Elizabeth Taylor passed the hours during the long sojourn from south Georgia to South Florida by trying to be the best at a family game: billboard spotting.
But it wasn't just any billboard that Taylor's family battled to identify first. Specifically, they wanted to point out the signs pointing the way to Ross Allen's reptile haven at Silver Springs.
"It was almost a fight to see who could see the billboards first," Taylor recalled of those family trips some four decades ago. "(Allen) was quite the hero to me."
Last week, Palace Entertainment, operator of the Silver Springs attraction, closed Ross Allen Island in preparation for the $4 million renovation of the park. One of the initial steps in that process will be to tear down much of what Allen built in the section of the attraction that bears his name.
It appears, however, that Allen's legacy will live on, even as the attraction he helped make famous evolves.
State environmental regulators say the section of Silver Springs where Allen's reptile exhibits enthralled thousands of visitors each year during its pre-Walt Disney World heyday will continue to carry his name.
Moreover, any part of Ross Allen Island that can be spared as the renovation proceeds will be kept after Silver Springs becomes a state park on Oct. 1, said Mara Burger, spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Protection in Tallahassee.
Everything in the park is still Palace's property, she added.
But, "It is our intention that the items that are salvageable from Ross Allen Island will be reused throughout the state park, as they represent an important piece of local history," Burger said in an email, also noting that the Florida Park Service's duties include preserving cultural and historical resources as well as managing and protecting environmental ones.
As for Ross Allen Island retaining its name, Burger said that was to recognize Allen and his contributions to local tourism and reptile education.
"If items are not used in the state park, we will work with the family to ensure appropriate disposition of the items," Burger said.
Taylor, now an Ocala resident, was pleased by the state's decision. She said her aunt, Jeannette, married Allen when Taylor was very young, and she grew up idolizing the renowned herpetologist who, in turn, encouraged her passion for scouting, swimming and animals.
Allen died in 1981, when Taylor was in her early 20s.
While Taylor is gladdened by the state's willingness to keep Allen's achievements alive, she feels Allen has not gotten his proper due for his work as a tourist magnet.
"People forget there were two entertaining things out there," Taylor said, referring to Allen's Reptile Institute and the glass-bottomed boats.
In his 1999 book "Dixie Before Disney: 100 years of Roadside Fun," the author Tim Hollis noted that by 1950 — some 21 years after Allen had established himself in Silver Springs — the park drew more than 800,000 visitors a year.
Allen's shows helped fuel what Hollis described as the springs' "meteoric" rise as a tourist destination before Walt Disney put the Orlando area on the map, and Allen helped the park and himself by pitching his reptile expertise and promoting the park on national radio programs.
"People were really intrigued by the show Ross put on. I think he brought a lot of people to the area," Taylor said. "It's kind of sad that he's not been recognized more. People don't remember, I guess. But he was really an important person."

Make it sweet but not overboard, and keep everyone in character. There's time for interruption, and there's time to let them work. Also, no romance amnesia. If you're confident, make it part of their character development.
Don't let "God of abusive humor" and "God of Status Quo" tempt you just because

Where romance moment wasn't destroyed so much as left in the brink of nothingness.
For example, I can understand that IchiHouki kiss is a spur of the moment, but neither of them even so much think about it, without resolution even.
Even if the "Purposefully dense Ichika" theory is correct, Houki still kind of OOC.
It'll be more bearable if they decide to talk about it THEN conclude that nothing is serious, at least from Ichika's side, whereas Houki was secretly happy that she still have a good chance winning him.

What are the chances Ichika or any male in ISA would get labeled with Sexual harassment if they say anything inappropriate by accident? For example, I saw this asked when Tsukune was looking for a cat in a fanfic.
"Excuse me, girls, I'm looking for a little pussy. WOuld you please help me find one?"
You can imagine the reaction.

*Age is working on multiple fic at once*
Dream Catcher Fic allow me to do crazy stuff with original machine and yet feel justified because whatever crazy stuff the original machine does, it is for show only.
(Edit: I admit it need work....lots of it, I type out the first part of 1st chapter just last night within a few hours )
and others which I am still trying to find time and mood to type out.
The girls will answer that question with brute force (the canon girls already has no qualm about using IS on Ichika).
Anti-male girls would be rioting or petitioning to kick/expel the males.

Not of it was said in Japanese. "Neko" is definitely not a sexual slang... most of the time. "Manko" is not even an euphemism, it's a well known slang for vagina and not used for anything else.
Back to topic, why not? That's why there's a trope named "Innocent Innuendo"

Regular innuendo is intentional. Often used as pickup line. The "Gun in your pocket" is a classic example.
The innocent innuendo is your example above, it's perfectly harmless comment that could be interpreted as sexual.

About that Ichika's Backbone Challenge in FF.net
Isn't that technically violating the ToS? There is no story in it....
I might try to integrate better version of Dream Catcher (Canon presence is too low in the story).

If lying isn't against the rules then he can just say that it's for a friend whom he met during his "previous travels". He'd say that she travels light due to her lifestyle and extra clothes weren't something she cared much about till now.
About the multiple language thing. Laura is more or less a foot soldier but I really think she's an espionage agent as well. Most military forces AKA foot soldiers already have military liaisons to set proper arrangements with foreign elements they work with. But for espionage agents, it is a big help to be able to speak on your own without reliance on a translator.

well there was a 5th generation idea I had but it involved Nineveh's wisdom
5th generation IS: to bridge the gap between human and IS
AKA a more effective direct brain to machine interface than just waiting for the machine to accept nerve signals that pass through the local nervous system where they are located.
Ideally, it would increase response time and even allow a certain sense of remote control weapons to be more easily controlled than before. Also overall increase in mobility since the current control system still suggest that the IS armoring is being physically lifted than it is tracing the pilot's movements.

RV Industry Notes Record Year in Australia
October 22, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RV Industry Notes Record Year in Australia
The president of the Recreational Vehicle Manufacturers Association of Australia, Richard Raven, said the number of recreational vehicles built in Australia is expected to reach 24,000 in 2010, at least 5,000 more than any other year, the Brisbane Times reported. About 10% of these are motorized, with the rest made up of caravans and camper-trailers, Raven said.
A director of the Sydney RV Center, Jeremy Pearce, said the high demand is partly a result of buyers who delayed their purchase during the global financial crisis. "In the last two months we've had a huge increase in the number of buyers and inquiries – sales are up 100% on the same month last year," he said.
There is a waiting period of nearly six months for some popular motorhome models and Pearce expects demand to remain high as more Baby Boomers retire.
A spokesman for the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia, Gary Rebgetz, questioned whether local councils are ready to cash in on the boom. A report prepared by Balfour Consulting for the club found that some tourists actively avoid towns that do not supply suitable rest areas.
More than one in four motorhome tourists surveyed in Queensland had experienced trouble getting into rest areas and caravan parks because of over-crowding and lack of availability, according to the report.
The general manager of Albury City Council, Les Tomich, said many councils were not prepared for the expected surge in the number of motorhome tourists, and needed to install more basic sites where motorhome owners could dump waste and use power and water.
However, the chief executive of the Caravan, RV and Accommodation Industry of Australia, Ben Yates, warned that new rest areas would represent unfair competition if they did not comply with all of the regulations that apply to caravan parks.
Fast Facts
- An estimated 330,000 recreational vehicles are registered.
- About 70,000 are on the road at any one time. About 10% are motorized.
- Motorhome tourists holiday for more than six months on average and spend more than $500 per week.
- Annual sales of recreational vehicles rose from about 5,000 in the mid 1990s to about 19,000 in 2007. In 2010 sales are expected to top 24,000.
- Australia has about 2,500 caravan parks, with more than 200,000 sites.
Meanwhile, in a somewhat related development, Paul Davy, managing director of EnergyTech PTY Ltd., an import firm that sells products in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, told RVBUSINESS.com that his firm has been importing some product made by U.S. manufacturer Forest River Inc.
"FR has custom built these for us with the floorplan flipped over as we drive on the left here so entry door needs to be on the left side and everything else swapped around as all the Aussie campsites are setup 'back to front,'" he said.
"Many changes were necessary to meet Australian design rules but the Forest River team really worked hard to come up with a suitable product for the Australasian Market," he said.
A recent issue of Australian Caravan World magazine featured a review of Forest River's Wolf Pup, one of the units modified for sale in Australia. To read the article titled "Less is More" about how Forest River accommodated the Australian RV market, click here.

Cheers to Community Halloween parties and Jeers to Underclassmen at CHS making up their own rules
Cheers...to community Halloween parties
Remember back in the day when kids dressed up for Halloween and were let out on their own to gather goodies from the neighborhood? They can still do that, but the safer route that involves the parents or family members are community Halloween parties. They are usually indoors (which is nice on a cold evening) and lots of people gather to make it a big deal. It can be at churches, hospitals, arenas, retirement homes, restaurants or really anywhere. Kids have the opportunity to get candy from different stations, play games, and have fun with other kids their age. This is especially a treat for little ones who haven't started school yet. Not all kids go to a daycare, so having interaction with others their size and age are a good thing.
If you have young children or know children who would enjoy a good party, find a gathering in your neighborhood. Not only will you stay warm indoors, but it will save you money on gas from driving up and down streets for trick or treating.
– Jess Bengtson
Jeers...to underclassmen at CHS making up their own rules
If enough people begin to violate mandated rules, it should be easy and even natural to assume that punishments will eventually be handed out and that the issue will be taken care of with appropriate administration ruling.
Jeers to underclassmen students at Crookston High School who think it's cool or funny to leave campus when it is known and stated that it is an upperclassmen privilege. It is sad that because of the actions of others, the privileges of upperclassmen are screeching to a halt and have the potential to be lost altogether.
Everyone starts out at the bottom of the totem pole that is high school – and everyone works their way up. Through this hierarchy, certain privileges are granted to the students that have put in the years, the effort, and the time – the upperclassmen.
With a new administration comes new rules; the case is no different at Crookston High School. It's fine that there are new rules and mandates and ideas – that's part of the newfound excitement of receiving new individuals into the building. It's wonderful that the administration is willing to work with upperclassmen to figure out a fair compromise between the cries of unfairness and the desire for regulations.
It's not okay, however, to walk all over the administration and their "dumb school rules" and then be surprised when privileges that aren't even yours are taken away. It will do nothing but make people upset with you.
– Torrie Greer, student staff writer

The 'Reggini Sailing Team' surprises everyone
19 April 2010
Lerici, April 17, 2010 - Today was the opening of the Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series and there was great curiosity to know the who, in light of the developments in the field and with many big names, will be the leaders in the fleet.
One can hardly determine the overall performance of a team in water yet, but we can afford to guess who the possible and probable key players will be after such an intense day.
The stage, on the first day of racing has been set for Reggini Sailing Team with helmsman Francesco Farneti (assisted tactiction Slovenian, Branko Brcin) which, at their class debut, surprised everyone by digging a chasm between himself and his pursuers in the 10-12 knots from the north. A mid-race practice for Reggini Sailing Team is already unnecessary, while the fight for the remaining positions will return to the race. Stefano Di Properzio on Hulk, accompanied by tactician Lorenzo Bressani, has a long duel with Luca Domenici's Team Notaro (tactician Andra Casale) running on sight and responding jibe for jibe on the final sprint to the finishing line; attacks Team Notaro but does not produce the desired effect and overtaking Hulk was not the case. Behind the leading trio are, Marco Morina on Sei Tu 20 (with Alberto Bolzan) and Carlo Alberini on Calvi Network (as always supported by Gabriele Benussi).
The reigning champion of the Audi Sailing Series? The Value Team appears in ninth place in the provisional rankings, Benedetto Giallongo accustomed to quite different numbers certainly can not smile, but the race of the champion team has two faces. A forced departure made the disproportionate number 1 to find themselves in last place, apart from the underworld and the pursuit showdown Value Team that eats up position after position close to the ninth spot and collecting precious points in the Audi Sailing Series. Value Team was not ready today but have confirmed that they will pick a make it very hard for everyone tomorrow.
The first day ends with a single race on the books despite repeated attempts by the Race Committee to satisfy the whims of the wind.
Provisional overall standings of the first stage Audi Sailing Series 2010:
1 - Reggini Sailing Team (Farnetti / Brcin)
2 - Hulk (Di Properzio / Bressani)
3 - Team Notaro (Domenici / Casale)
4 - Sei Tu 20 (Morina / Bolzan)
5 - Calvi Network (Alberini / Benussi)
6 - Bela Vita (Molla / N. Bianchi)
7 - Kempo (Capolino / Perlingieri)
8 - Thule (Rubbini / Ivaldi)
9 - Value Team (Giallongo / Fonda)
10 - Y.C Bari (Campanile)
Followed by 16 other crews.

Rep. Conyers, Once Again, Trying To Lock Up Federally Funded Research
from the isn't-that-a-problem? dept
So, Congress decided that any research that was funded by NIH (which funds about $30 billion in research each year) had to also be openly published one-year after it was published in the journal. It's hard to see how this damages the journals at all. They still retain a significant monopoly right on the works -- and have a year's head start. Yet, the journal publishers have been screaming bloody murder, and even trying to force academics to pay thousands of dollars to cover the "cost" of republishing the article in an open archiving database.
And, of course, those publishers have been complaining like crazy to Congress. Last year, Rep. Conyers (who also recently introduced the RIAA's preferred legislation, and was heavily backed by the American Intellectual Property Law Association in his most recent election) introduced some legislation to repeal this requirement, though the legislation went nowhere fast. However, he's wasted very little time introducing identical legislation this year.
What is held to be "unfair" in the bill is government interference with the publisher's exclusive ownership over research. This is not, however, a case of keeping the government's clumsy hand off a free market. The scholarly publishing market depends on government interference in the first instance. The government allows publishers to exercise monopoly rights over this research through copyright law, a form of market interference....Furthermore, Willinsky mentions the original, Constitutional purpose behind said copyright: "To promote the progress of science and the useful arts..." Congress gets to determine what promotes the progress, and if it's shown that open publication of publicly funded works promotes that progress, then the journals should have no argument at all. But, argue they will... so, Public Knowledge and The Alliance for Taxpayer Access are both asking people to write their elected representatives to oppose this attempt to once again lock up the very research that we all funded as taxpayers.

Granada makes a pleasant holiday destination for couples and families, and renting a condo, casa or villa makes the ideal base from which to explore. Vacation home rentals are increasingly popular for the value, space and amenities they provide. Granada selections range from holiday cottages set among olive groves to a city-central condo or a stunning villa in the ancient quarter of the Albaicín, one of Granada's nicest areas. You and your family will enjoy the many amenities home rentals offer, as well as the ease on your travel budget from not having to dine out for every meal.
…And you'll have a sense of Granada's heritage, culture and history, where the distinct Moorish influence spreads through the city. You'll find traditional Moroccan craftsmanship in bazaars and shops – brightly colored porcelain, brass and copperware, mosaics and inlaid boxes, all infused with exotic Arab design. The Alhambra Palace is the number one historic draw for visitors, a massive, enchanting castle with gardens and fortifications. The ornate castle was built over several centuries and was home to many of the ruling Arabic Sultans. On the hill across from the Alhambra, you'll want to wander the cobble stoned streets of The Albaicín past white-washed houses, tranquil terrazas around every corner. And since Granada is between the mountains and sea, you want to plan day trips for a little hiking or beachcombing.
Monasterio Cartuja and Convento de San Jeronimo are two more architectural wonders of the city. Perched on a hill, the monastery features one of Spain's most ornate baroque interiors with exotic marble and jasper and a collection of the paintings of Juan Sanchez de Cotan. The convent has arched courtyards with shields of kings, Granada's first Archbishop and of the monk Jeronimo. Another compelling example of fine Spanish Baroque, the beautiful sacristy astounds visitors with the thousands of carvings of Luis Cabello.
Take the family to Venta El Gallo for a blend of pleasant dining and lively flamenco performances. For quality food and friendly service head to Las Estrellas Mirador San Nicolas. You'll enjoy one of the best views of the Alhambra from your table by the window. Bars and clubs center around Plaza Nueva and Calle Elvira, where you'll also enjoy jazz, Flamenco and live bands.
Browse through our rental home listings, and you'll appreciate the many photos and clear feature descriptions. With unbiased guest reviews, you'll have all the information you need to make the right decision for you and your family.

Two press conferences will be held: one on the agriculture points at the end of Wednesday's session and one on the fisheries and health and consumers points on Thursday, at the end of the morning session. Public sessions and press conferences will be web streamed live at the following address: http://video.consilium.europa.eu
The main elements of Ministers' discussions on agriculture will be 3 table rounds on aspects of the CAP reform proposals - greening, market policies and rural development. All 3 debates will be "public" - broadcast live on the Internet - and based around questions put forward by the Presidency.
"Greening" - The Commission has proposed that 30% of the direct payments envelope should be paid specifically for the use of certain sustainable agricultural practices – for the provision of environmental public goods which are not remunerated by the market. The Commission has proposed that each farmer should apply 3 specific measures, where relevant. These are: maintaining permanent pasture, ensuring crop diversity on arable land, and maintaining a 7% ecological focus area on each holding, which includes taking into account field margins, hedgerows and other existing non-productive areas which are currently not eligible for support.) In April, the Commission also agreed to look at ways of counting certified agri-environment schemes as partly /fully "equivalent" to the greening measures - so that farmers have a choice of applying the standard 3 measures, or using agri-environment schemes designed at national or regional level to meet the greening provisions. For the Council debate, the Presidency questionnaire focuses on whether there is agreement on equivalence as a tool to achieve greening in an efficient and cost-effective manner; on whether equivalence should be based on the assessed environmental gain of the alternative measures concerned; and on how to reach a simple, manageable, efficient and predictable assessment of environmental gains. Finally, the Presidency questionnaire also address the need to find a solution so as to avoid double funding, should agri-environment-climate commitments carried out under the rural development pillar be considered as equivalent to greening measures proposed under the direct payment pillar.
The sugar quota regime is due to expire in 2015, as agreed in the 2006 reform of the EU sugar sector. The reform aimed at restructuring the sector in order to make it more competitive. The Commission now considers that the sector is now ready to face international competition, and that the quota system is no longer necessary. Some Member States have however called for an extension of the regime, while others support the planned expiry. The Presidency questionnaire asks Member States what measures, if any, they would envisage as necessary to ensure smooth transition for all actors in the food chain.
Finally, noting that fruitful debates were already held on the commission's proposals for the reform of the rural development policy and that the proposed regulation should be assessed as a whole and as a package with other regulations, the Presidency invites Ministers to signal the most important issues that they consider outstanding and in need of further discussions.

Deep-sea TACs
The Council will discuss and decide on the Commission's proposal on fishing opportunities for certain deep-sea fish stocks in the North-East Atlantic for 2013-2014 (IP/12/1083)
In line with the scientific advice, the Commission proposed to increase total allowable catches (TACs) for 3 stocks, a decrease for 13 stocks, and maintain TACs at the current level for 8 stocks (including zero TACs for 6 stocks), compared to 2012. For 2013 the Commission proposed to increase by 77% the TAC for roundnose grenadiers west of the British Isles (to 4,500 tonnes). Fishing at these levels should permit to bring this stock to sustainable levels by 2015 (so called maximum sustainable yield (MSY)).
The Commission also proposed to increase by 20% and 5% the TACs for two black scabbard fish stocks in western waters (West of Scotland/Ireland). Also for these stocks the scientific advice indicates how to achieve MSY in 2015. TACs for the remaining stocks of black scabbard fish and roundnose grenadier are proposed to be cut or maintained unchanged. Taking the precautionary approach, the Commission proposed to cut by 20% the red seabream and blue ling TACs, as the conservation status of these stocks is not fully assessed.
Deep-sea fish are caught in waters beyond the main fishing grounds of continental shelves. They are distributed on the continental slopes or associated with seamounts. Most of these species are slow-growing and long-lived, which makes them particularly vulnerable to fishing. Although improvements can be seen, scientific data is still poor for most deep-sea stocks.
Other fisheries points
Item for Discussion: Proposal for a Council Regulation on the use of lactic acid to reduce microbial surface contamination of bovine carcases
The possibility to approve an antimicrobial treatment for surface decontamination of food of animal origin is included in the current EU hygiene legislation (Regulation (EC) No 853/2004) adopted by the Council and the Parliament.
A draft Commission Regulation approving the use under certain conditions of lactic acid to reduce surface contamination on bovine carcasses was submitted to the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health, on 21 September 2012, for an opinion. The Committee did not deliver an opinion on the draft Commission Regulation, as a qualified majority was not reached.
Consequently, pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and in accordance with Article 5a of Council Decision 1999/468/EC, the Commission submitted to the Council and the Parliament a draft Council Regulation relating to the measures to be taken.

Analysis: Reported Tumblr deal a bold move for Yahoo
SAN FRANCISCO – When Marissa Mayer took the top job at long-suffering Internet giant Yahoo nearly a year ago, most wondered why.
Now, with its apparent $1 billion purchase of Tumblr, the latest of several savvy acquisitions, Mayer has put the yippee back into Yahoo. And investors are loving it.
The company, which has languished in the shadow of Google and Facebook in the Internet pecking order, is relevant once again in Silicon Valley.
Mayer said as much in a brief chat with USA TODAY on Friday night. Yahoo is accumulating "delightful" technology and world class talent, she said, to make it an essential destination for consumers – particularly those who are younger.
STORY: Yahoo to buy Tumblr for $1.1B, report says
STORY: Tumblr users vent over idea of sale to Yahoo
"Yahoo should not be about me, but the value it brings to people's lives," said Mayer, who has shied away from media interviews to concentrate on turning around the Internet icon.
On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Yahoo's board of directors approved a $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr, an image-intensive blog platform popular among a younger audience. The report, citing "people familiar with the matter," said Yahoo would pay cash for the company.
Yahoo has declined to comment on the media reports. But it has a press event scheduled for Monday in New York, where Tumblr is based.
Among other major deals in its history: GeoCities in 1999, for which it paid more than $4 billion. In 2003, the company purchased search advertising firm Overture for $1.63 billion.
In Tumblr, Yahoo picks up the type of cool technology that people once associated with Yahoo, says technology analyst Kevin Lee.
It's the latest – and largest, by far – in a string of recent acquisitions.
Until now, Yahoo's deals have been mostly with smaller startups. In March, it announced it was scooping up social recommendation site Jybe and mobile news reader Summly.
Among its most recent announcements, mobile games developer Loki Studios this month said it would be coming into the Yahoo fold. Yahoo also picked up Astrid, a to-do list and reminder app for iOS and Android.
Among Yahoo's other recent moves:
•Updated apps. The company launched Yahoo Mail for iPad and Android tablets, along with a new weather app for iPhones. The mail app for tablets offers a more visual, Flipboard-like take on email. The weather app pairs up Flickr photos of cities you select to monitor. Yahoo says it's like flipping through a stack of postcards to see the weather.
•Content. Starting Sept. 1, Yahoo will become the online home for Saturday Night Live clips. The archives from its beginning in 1975 through the current season will be available exclusively on Yahoo.
Yahoo still has the daunting task of competing for mobile ad dollars with Google and Facebook, both of whom have large, loyal customer bases.
In April, the company reported a solid financial quarter: Profit jumped 36% to $390.9 million on revenue of $1.07 billion that was mostly flat. It was the first full quarter of results since Mayer began to implement her plan to improve revenue growth, operating income and cash flow.
Yahoo's stock price has risen 69% under Mayer's leadership. The company's shares fell 6 cents Friday to close at $26.52.

[22:47] bauerbob has joined
[22:47] Bauldrick: Openlink 0.7, Base: 1.51 nice
[22:47] mindbender: lol….its working.
[22:47] bauerbob: for ls2?
[22:48] mindbender: no sorry….only for ls1…..as long as there is no loader.o for mips it won`t work….
[22:48] bauerbob: arrrrrrgh, don't put so much pressure on me :-) (…or is there anyone else working on a loader module for mips?)
[22:48] mindbender: hehe…
[22:49] mindbender: i talked with two others who also said that they will look into it
[22:49] mindbender: maybe you have luck….
[22:49] mindbender: it isn`t much….but assembler :/
[22:50] bauerbob: exactly :-(
[22:51] mindbender: maybe if we all try together we could create one…i would help….but i know no mips assembler at all…
[22:51] mindbender: but we could create a new project for that…
[22:52] mindbender: then we will see how many guys are willing to help…..
[22:52] bauerbob: http://chortle.ccsu.edu/AssemblyTutorial/TutorialContents.html <— here's a nice tutorial
[22:53] bauerbob: and i've also downloaded some cpu specs from the manufacturer of the cpu - there's some assembler included in the pdfs
[22:54] bauerbob: but my problem is: when i want to look how the loader module is programmed for ppc i will also have to learn ppc assembly
[22:54] mindbender: i just bookmarked it again…i will look into it tommorow evening
[22:54] mindbender: yes, absolutely :(
[22:55] mindbender: is there something equal for ppc?

[22:56] Bauldrick: it shows up now after loging back in
[22:56] bauerbob: maybe i've got some specs for ppc assembly somewhere on my hdd, because i was once on the way to check out the ibm rs/6000 smp code in the kernel, because it is buggy for the 603e cpu, which is also a ppc one….but somehow i lost my interess in it
[22:57] mindbender: @bauldrick: that is ven more greater ;)
[22:57] Bauldrick: sorry - no it is still there
[22:57] mindbender: damn :/

Transferring Contacts or Files to Youwave
May 4, 2012 20 Comments
Transferring contacts or any file between Youwave and PC or a phone is unfortunately not straightforward.
If you want only a few whatsapp contacts i recommend actually saving them individually on YW.
Otherwise you can follow these steps:
- 1. If you are using a android phone you will have to make a backup of your contacts by Menu>Contacts>Export to SD Card. This will be saved as a 0001.vcf file. OR
If you are on a nokia symbian OS make a backup and it would be saved as a .csv file. Then convert the .csv file to .vcf by using a converter you can get for free from here:
- 2. Download Dropbox from http://www.dropbox.com. It allows you to drop in files from any other device to a virtual online storage then retrieve them from anywhere else. Drop the backup contacts file from your actual phone to the Dropbox. Then login to dropbox from Youwave and retrieve/download the backup contacts file.
- 3. Then just import the .vcf contacts file you just downloaded from dropbox back from your SD card in Youwave.
Any problems? Do tell!

Cisco Unity Connection Telephony Interface (CUTI) API
From DocWiki
Links to Other API pages: Cisco_Unity_Connection_APIs
|CUTI Guide Contents
|API Overview
Using CUTI for Basic Call Operations
The Cisco Unity Connection Telephony Interface (CUTI) API is a web service interface for telephone record and playback on Cisco Unity Connection systems. CUTI is designed to provide a simple, stable method of accessing telephone record and playback functionality on Connection systems through a standards-based interface using XML and HTTPS.
You can use CUTI to do the following:
- Initiate dialout to a phone device
- Play and record greetings, messages, and other audio
- Control playback speed and volume
- Stop and resume playback and record
With CUTI, you have the ability to record audio as needed by using a phone, providing additional functionality besides uploading .wav files. You can use CUTI to do the following:
- As part of a User or Admin interface, record audio as part of a name, greeting, or message
- Play secure messages
- Record messages using phone as a media device
Technical Details
CUTI was developed using the latest advances in web-based interfaces: it is a REST interface that standardizes operations such as add, delete, and modify. The XML comes with standard XML schema definitions that are annotated with information about what is in them.
As a web-based interface, CUTI is independent of operating system and programming language, and does not require any client libraries to use.
Getting Started with CUTI
In order to begin developing with the Cisco Unity Connection CUTI API, you will need to obtain the following:
- Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) for Cisco Unity Connection version 8.0 and later
- For detailed hardware requirements, see the Cisco Unity Connection 8.x Supported Platforms List
- Cisco Unity Connection Software Ordering
- Not for Resale Kits (Must be eligible to purchase)
- Select Unified Communications System Release Kit
Discounts for some of the required hardware and software may be available for participants in the Cisco Technology Developer Program.
We recommend that all developers have an up-to-date Cisco Developer Services support agreement. This provides the developer with access to professional support and assistance for application development.
Other CUTI Resources
Additional information about CUTI is also available on the Cisco Developer Network (link to CDN). Note, however, that the documentation here on the DocWiki is the most up-to-date documentation available for CUTI.
To participate in the CUTI forum, see the CUTI forum on CDN.
See the following for information on troubleshooting all Connection APIs:

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Postal Service said Wednesday it had dropped plans to cancel mail delivery on Saturdays due to a Congressional mandate dating back to the 1980s.
The Postal Service said in February it planned to keep Saturday deliveries of packages but cut Saturday mail delivery to save billions of dollars.
But to do so, Congress would have had to drop the mandate. Instead, it was kept going in a funding bill that passed in March, CNNMoney reported.
"Although disappointed with this congressional action, the board will follow the law and has directed the Postal Service to delay implementation of its new delivery schedule until legislation is passed that provides the Postal Service with the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule," the agency's ruling board said in a statement.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said he was "disappointed," with the decision.
"It is quite clear that special interest lobbying and intense political pressure played a much greater role in the Postal Service's change of heart than any real or perceived barrier to implementing what had been announced," said Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

NSW's new bail laws are once again in the spotlight after a former Comanchero bikie boss, who was jailed over the fatal bashing of a rival at Sydney airport, was granted bail.
Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi applied for release under the new Bail Act last week after his conviction for the murder of a Hells Angel was quashed in May and a retrial ordered.
On Thursday, the NSW Supreme Court heard he would pose an unacceptable risk if released as he still had links to outlaw gangs.
But to the jubilation of Hawi's supporters, Justice Ian Harrison on Monday decided to grant Hawi conditional bail.
"It's party time," a man said to a woman as they left the court's public gallery smiling.
"The disco!"
Hawi, 34, was jailed for at least 21 years in 2012 for the 2009 murder of rival Hells Angels associate Anthony Zervas at the city's airport.
Mr Zervas, 29, died after being bashed with a bollard when members of the two bikie gangs began brawling.
Justice Harrison explained the "unacceptable risks" posed by Hawi could be "mitigated by the imposition of appropriate conditions".
Under the strict bail conditions, Hawi must report to police daily and adhere to a curfew.
He must not associate with or contact certain people, not apply for a passport or go within a kilometre of an airport.
Two people had to provide surety to a total of $700,000.
Justice Harrison said the NSW government's changes to the Bail Act had attracted a great deal of public and media attention.
When considering granting bail, it was important to balance the presumption of innocence with society's expectation for protection, he said.
Pauline Wright, from the Law Society of NSW, said media commentary that the bail rules had been "relaxed" by the NSW government's changes was wrong.
Instead, the reforms had made bail rules much clearer while assuring the system was still "tough but fair".
"Our criminal justice system is based on the principle of presumed innocence," she told AAP.
"Unless there is something to suggest that you're going to be a risk to the community, or that you're going to be a risk of not going to court to answer the charges ... then you're entitled to bail."
Comment was being sought from NSW Attorney-General Brad Hazzard.

University Hospital Ulm
Hartmut DöhnerSpecialized in: hematology, oncology, palliative care, rheumatology, infectology
The Department of Hematology, Oncology, Palliative Care, Rheumatology and Infectiology at the University Hospital Ulm offers the full range of services in these fields. It provides an accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of oncological diseases, benign and malignant blood pathologies, rheumatic and infectious diseases. A separate focus of the department is palliative care aimed at relieving pain and improving the quality of life of the terminally ill patients. The doctors of the department have unique clinical skills and rich experience, which contributes to high treatment success rates. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Hartmut Döhner.
The department is part of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Ulm, which ranks among the best medical institutions of this kind in Germany certified by the German Cancer Society and the German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe). Each clinical case is considered on a regular interdisciplinary tumor boards, after which an individual treatment strategy is developed taking into account all the diagnostic results, disease stage, general patient's health, age, etc. All the treatment concepts comply with current national and international standards. Most often, in the treatment of cancer, doctors use conventional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy with antibodies, as well as innovative forms of therapy, for example, the use of mitosis and signaling pathway inhibitors. The department also maintains close cooperation with hematologists and oncologists from the neighboring specialized hospitals.
It should be noted that one of the department's priorities is allogeneic blood stem cell and bone marrow transplantation, which has been performed here since 1978.
