This position serves as the Chair of Ophthalmology within the UAMS College of Medicine, Director of the Jones Eye Institute, and will hold an endowed Chair position, guiding significant growth in a Department and Institute that is clinically, educationally and fiscally strong. As an integral member of the executive leadership team, the Chair of Ophthalmology reports directly to the Dean of the UAMS College of Medicine.
The future Chair of Ophthalmology should demonstrate:
- The passion, energy, and drive to lead the Department of Ophthalmology
- Commitment to clinical excellence
- The ability to strengthen relationships with current and potential donors

About the Department of Ophthalmology
The Department of Ophthalmology, along with the Pat & Willard Walker Eye Research Center, a state-of-the-art clinic and other educational programs are located within the 100,000 square-foot facility. This facility has nine stories with dedicated operating rooms, administrative space, educational space (the simulation lab) and research space, dedicated entirely to Ophthalmology by the immutable donor gift agreement. The department has a superb endowment which provides latitude for growth, and it has a supportive community-based advisory board. The Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute specializes in providing caring and compassionate treatment for a wide range of eye conditions and illnesses. Along with state-of-the-art equipment and technology, our research and education programs ensure a better state of health now and in the future.
Our collaborative faculty represents every ophthalmic subspecialty, and allows our patients to enjoy a multitude of services. The Pat & Willard Walker Eye Research Center is involved in sight-saving research, particularly regarding viruses of the eye. The department currently has seven endowed chairs and a strong focus on educating doctors and technicians to become skilled ophthalmic practitioners through the residency program and the Ophthalmic Medical Technology program.
The Department of Ophthalmology's vison is to establish an environment for patient care, education, research and community service that inspires teamwork, innovation and collaboration; and create a workplace that values the caregivers and their teams. This vision and core beliefs of the Department of Ophthalmology align with their mission to provide, teach, discover, promote and inspire patients first, and cost effective eye care to fulfill UAMS's mission to provide quality healthcare to all Arkansans, the nation and the world.

Advance and support recruiting efforts for top tier subspecialists. The Chair will assess current status as the leading edge of ophthalmic practice and research.
Focus the Department's philanthropic and research efforts
As a highly visible, public institution, the Chair will work to continue to advance the reputation and priorities of the Department of Ophthalmology among external constituents.

Given this excerpt from a terminal session:
And given this content of /opt/SQLDev/sqldeveloper.sh:
Code: Select all
toml@T500-64 /opt/SQLDev $ sqldeveloper.sh
sqldeveloper.sh: command not found
toml@T500-64 /opt/SQLDev $ java -jar sqldeveloper.jar
SQL Developer 2.3.0
Java version 1.7.0_79
Java vendor Oracle Corporation
OS name Linux
toml@T500-64 /opt/SQLDev $
Was sqldeveloper.sh the "command not found"? I assume that it was, but then it's not clear how it couldn't be found. I wondered if something in the script wasn't found, so I ran the java command by itself, and that worked fine.
Code: Select all
java -jar sqldeveloper.jar
The basic questions come down to (1) is the error explicitly indicating the problem command rather than something in the script, and (2) what's a basic troubleshooting sequence? (I.e., how do I determine why it's not found?)
The sqldeveloper.sh script is definitely in /opt/SQLDev since ls lists it in that terminal session. I appear to have the directory set correctly in the terminal. I'm the owner and it's set as executable (AFAICT).

I then walked into Maria's office and said, "We used to know a young couple who said that they would never use the television as a baby-sitter. I wonder what ever happened to them."

A newspaper in Swaziland is reporting that one of the drivers involved in the crash that killed a reported 38 young women and girls has been arrested.
The Times of Swaziland reported on Sunday that the man appeared in court on Saturday was charged with negligent driving. He remains in police custody.
The newspaper said the 46-year-old man is a driver employed by the government of Swaziland.
The girls and young women were killed while on their way to join thousands of others at Swaziland's most famous traditional festival, the annual reed dance.
A rights group, the Swaziland Solidarity Network, claims that the death toll has risen to 65. Swazi police dispute this, saying that only 13 people died.

Where is The Copse?
All that the countryside has to offer yet so close to town.
Car parking for guests
Caterers are welcome to use our kitchens (if needed) but all wedding breakfast cutlery, crockery and glassware needs to be independently hired and returned dirty. This is to avoid you having to wash up, but also not to confuse items with those being used in the house for weekend guests.
We can source staff who have worked on site before to help with the running of your day or do ask your caterers if they can help.
Music and noise
Have a DJ or band play in The Barn for the evening music or If your budget is limited or you already know what music you want and have your own playlist, then stream it via the speakers in The Barn.
We are situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and ask that you and your guests respect the peace and quiet it affords.
How many can sleep at the house?
18 can sleep at the house. Babies and infants are not included in the head count but do speak to us first.
See floor plan for details – note that more bed spaces are provided for flexible sleeping arrangements. Additional people to stay in the house are not permitted under fire regulations.
Also we cannot use the fields for tents and teepees because it is against Oxford Council policy for our land – which is agricultural and not leisure.
How people can sit down to eat in The Pavilion?
100 can be seated for your wedding breakfast overlooking the pond.
This is only available April – September.
Wedding planning
What are the basic supplies we can expect to find in the house?
Can I access a floor plan?
Yes, you can access the floor plan in the menu
What is the dog policy?
Are there rules for wedding guests at the garden reception?
We ask guests to respect the grounds and property. Cigarettes butts are not to be left around in the gardens but placed in bins or in pots of sand provided.
To be considerate of our neighbours.
Security deposit
Deductions will be made for items/damages as listed in the terms and conditions, which include not returning the property to it's orginal state as found at the start of the booking (with the exception of general housekeeping) extra cleaning being necessary and not returning items to the decorations store and or leaving it in a tidy state.
Liability is not limited to this amount in the case of severe damage.
50% of the booking cost is required to secure your booking (this is non-refundable unless we get a booking in its place) with the reamining balance due no less than 12 weeks before your arrival date.
Can I reserve a weekend?
We can offer you the facility to reserve your chosen weekend for 4 weeks for £250. After this time a 50% deposit is due to secure your booking but if for whatever reason we are not the venue for you then we refund your £250 and relet the date.
What is your bar policy?
You can supply your choice of drinks and set them up at our bars (one by the stretch tent and the other in the barn). We hope you agree that you will want to relax and enjoy your party and have staff oversee the running of this for you.
So why not supply your choice of drinks but let our barmen, or your approved barmen serve the drinks if this is to be an open bar?
Arrival and departure
But in return, we expect couples and all the helpers they have found to have returned the house, its contents and grounds to its original state…just ready for the cleaners.
If you can't face the idea of tidying up and just want to relax as a newly married couple with your friends and family then why not enlist our helpers to run around and collect up all of the rubbish, return decorations to the store and put the site back to its orginal state.
What is there to do for the house guests?
Are there many places locally for guests to stay?
Please see our terms for more details.
Weekend viewings are difficult to arrange as most weekends we have guests who book out the house.

(thanks for sharing this with me Lily)
You've been asking for it for 6 months, and it's finally here…
Tuesday, October 26th , 7-9 pm
Onyx's Closet: 300 Yerba Buena Rd , San Francisco 94130
(look for the warehouse with the garage door open. Park behind the warehouse)
Pre-Halloween clothing and costume swap:
Bring your used clothing and costumes for the clothing swap that starts at 7:30. You can come late, but there might not be much left. All left over clothes will be put into Onyx's re-use bins or donated to local charities. Seriously, don't miss this, the men and women in our community have amazing clothes and costumes!
Men: the clothing swap is for you too! Brink your used clothing and costumes
Onyx's Closet Trunk Sale:
Ladies, get first pick of my closet before I take it down to San Diego, LA and Santa Barbara!
Bring cash for bonus points and a discount!
Bring your friends and get ready to dress up!
View some of my creations here…
As a local, hand production, one-of-a-kind, up-cycled and environmentally friendly based designer, why not operate as I do in the rest of my life where I try to buy and hire local and within my community as much as I can. So why not produce local, and by local I mean, why not hire my mom and sister the founders of Generations Quilting (named as such because they are the 4th and 5th generations of quilters in my family. A tradition that has been passed down from mother to daughter since my great great grandmother) to help me produce my Onyx Coats? Why not support their female, family, hand made company as they support mine?

So I'm headed home to San Diego right after my first SF Trunk Sale/fund-raiser for production costs on the coats. Please come out to my trunk sale which in true re-use fashion will be paired with a clothing/costume swap next Thursday October 21st to support re-use and help me produce more coats! Keep posted here and on Facebook for more info.
If you live in California, once my coats are made, in a few weeks, I'll be scheduling trunk/coat sales in San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara on my drive back up. Not only do I get to go home and visit my family and two adorable nieces, but I get to see all of my friends along my way home! I love when life, love and being able to support yourself all flow on one path.

Telford Kids Festival
Easter Motor Show
More than 100 pre-65 machines to compete at show on Sunday, August 2
More than 100 classic trials machines will compete in a stage of the Northern British Bike Pre-65 Trials Championship (NBBC) at the Llangollen International Motorcycle Festival - LlanBikeFest 15 (www.llanbikefest.co.uk) - on Sunday, August 2nd.
All of the bikes are at least 50 years old and will be ridden on the show site from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm, as part of a championship round hosted by Llangollen and District Motorcycle Club. It will include more than 20 miles of off-road sections and minor roads in the area.
Organised by the Poachers Pre 65 Trials Club, the seven round trial series is a tough test of rider skill and machine reliability, with classes for expert and clubman riders.
The Sunday trials event will follow the Saturday opening of the festival by seven-times TT winner Mick Grant (pictured riding in a pre-65 trial) and Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty MBE, the most successful World Superbike (WSB) racer of all time.
LlanBikeFest 15 organiser Harry Edwards said: "The championship is one of the highlights of trials year, so there will be some fantastic bikes taking part, with riders from all over the country. The weekend will really offer something for everyone who is into bikes."
The Llangollen site has previously hosted successful bike shows – the last in 2011 – but LlanBikeFest 15 is being organised by a new team of local motorcycle enthusiasts, led by Harry.
The Llangollen International Motorcycle Festival at the town's Pavilion is set amid some of Britain's best biking roads - at the foot of the Horseshoe Pass and its famously bike-friendly Ponderosa Café, and on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park.
On-site attractions will include displays, stunts, demonstrations, trade and club stands, plus beer, bands and evening entertainment. There will also be ride-outs from the site to explore some of the area's most beautiful roads and scenery.
Follow the event on Twitter at @llanbikefest and Facebook at Llangollen International Motorcycle Festival.

Written on July 6, 2018
I feel physically broken when I wake up. I'm more tired now than when I went to bed last night. Martha woke me up by whispering the time in my ear. 7:30am. We've been up by 6:30am every morning we've been here. It doesn't feel like I got an extra hour of rest. My body seems to weigh twice what it usually does. I don't eat breakfast; I'd throw up if I drank coffee.
We pile on the bus and start towards the beach. We pass a mass of simple two story, square-shaped complexes that were built as government housing after the earthquake. They stretch on for close to a mile. They look abandoned. We learn that they've been boycotted because the government hired Dominican Republic workers to build them instead of Haitians.
We see motos and tap taps and similar scenes to what we saw riding into the campus from the airport on Saturday. Skinny, sick looking animals tied to flimsy poles by the streets. Women carrying baskets of what looks like trash on their heads. Garbage upon garbage upon rubble upon dust and more trash. My camera is in my hands, but I can't seem to flip the on switch. I can't take in everything I'm seeing.
The camp director Adam is talking to the other people on my team; they ask about rules of the road and details of the earthquake and the voodoo of the island and I'm sickened listening to all of them talking. Are they not looking out the windows? Are they not seeing anything that I'm seeing? Do they not feel the guilt I feel about returning to America?
It's a devastating realization to accept that you are a privileged person. The guilt I feel seeing the markets that we drive through takes over my being. Food booths made out of driftwood and banana leaves line the streets. Trash and goats fill the space between them. People are selling anything that could possibly bring them income: handfuls of peanuts, plastic ziplocks of water, paper bags.
I can't look at the underfed people anymore. I can't look at the tiny naked babies. I can't look at the rotting fruit being sold. I can't look at the dusty road. I have to stop seeing what I'm seeing or I'm going to launch myself off of this planet.
I put my head down on the seat in front of me and close my eyes. But the windows in the bus are all down, as that is our only source of AC, and dust flies through the air thus reminding me of the images outside. Adam continues loudly answering everyone's questions about the food here and the water here and the differences between our two cultures and I can't take it.
I plug my ears with my fingers like a child and try to nullify my senses. My face starts to burn. I try to breath but the air is too thick to go through my lungs. Tears start flowing and I grasp for any amount of oxygen. I wipe my eyes and sit up, thinking that I need to get over myself. But as I look back at the dusty road and the sad market stands, my vision goes blurry. I don't want to be dramatic, but I just can't pull it together.
I have to let this out. I lay my head on Martha's shoulder and let out small whimpers. Half my face is covered by her arm and the other half is covered by one of my hands. I'm dizzy; my head is pounding. Martha lays her head on top of mine and puts her hand on my leg. "What'sa matter?" she asks in maybe the most gentle voice I've ever heard her use. I don't even know what the matter is. I just know my brain doesn't like what it's processing. I inhale slowly and whisper, "There's just a lot to see." She pats me and keeps her head firmly on top of mine. The crying feels like a needed release.
Allowing myself to feel whatever this even was seems to have been the right move. I gather myself and wipe my tears. I try to articulate what caused this reaction: As Christians, we know that everyone was created equal in God's image, and He loves us all the same. So, how does He just decide that certain people are going to live in big, beautiful houses in Seymour, Indiana and some are going to live on the streets in no-man's-land Haiti? Grasping that we are all created equal yet not given equality is a big deal. This concept broke me, and now I don't know what to feel.
Once we arrive at the beach, I wonder how many members of our team saw my episode in the bus. I try to act normal, but I feel a couple marks removed from my own self. Martha orders us a snack and some smoothies from the resort restaurant, and we head down to the water. The scenery is unbelievable. Seriously, I can't believe what I'm seeing. This can't be real.
Most of our team gathers to go on a small snorkeling venture. A man in a janky wooden boat with two cracked oars is our captain and vessel. Twice on our trek to the snorkeling location, he stops the boat to empty out some of the gathering water with buckets.
Our captain brings our boat to a halt, and we all take turns jumping into the water. Everyone does their own thing. I put my head under the water and am looking at a coral reef. It's not an amazing coral reef, and my equipment is minimally functioning. I'm not even wearing matching flippers. But I'm in the ocean and I'm looking at an astounding life system. Several long fish that resemble eels, but definitely have fins, float vertically a few inches from my feet. Two "Dory" fish with reflective blue spots on their bodies swim by my face. I can feel the silence of the water. I go to the surface and take my snorkel out of my mouth. Deep breath. I dive down and swim as hard as I can. It's as if I'm being thrown into a culture as new to me as Haiti is. I swim away from our boat, away from land, and towards the vast mystery in the other direction. I came to Haiti searching for a depth like the one that only seems to exist under the weight of this water. The coral reefs come to an abrupt halt. I stare out into the nothingness, if the ocean could ever be considered nothingness, and ponder what would happen if I just took off. That'd be a great ending to this story, ya know? I had an amazing week in Haiti, I hit my breaking point, and I swam off into the distance underwater and never came back up. The end.
Why did I come here? I mean, listening to God's calling was part of it, but why did I want to come? What were my expectations? And why does it feel as though they haven't been met through all of the awe-inspiring moments I've had this week? I'm almost disappointed we're leaving tomorrow. I wish I could stay longer. I wish I could've done more with my time here.
I come up for air. I swim back to our boat and climb up the side with the rest of the team. The mountains surrounding us are painfully glorious. God outdid himself
We get back to campus in time for dinner. Afterwards, most of the team goes to the soccer fields because there is a game going on between several of the village kids, and a lot of adults have come to be onlookers. I think I'm the only one who stays behind in the bunkhouse. I need time to brood.
During devotions tonight, Coach asks everyone, "How's it gonna be when we get home? What have you learned during our week here?" I'm vexed to hear this question because I'm not anywhere near through processing a single thing I've seen or done in this country. It's all a very big deal. Even if I had all of my observations filed away properly in my brain, I won't be ready to share for weeks.
Others are talking about the culture differences between Haiti and America, about how loving the children have been towards us, and about how kind the people from the village seem to be despite their circumstances. But I'm just on a different page in my thinking altogether. Of course the cultures are different. Of course kids here enjoy hugs. Of course the Haitian staff on campus are nice, this is their livelihood.
I'm questioning why I was born where I was born, what my purpose on this earth is, my validity as an equally created child of God. Surely He didn't bring us all down here just to acknowledge that Haitians eat more rice than we do and that brown children love hugs as much as white children.
This can't possibly be our last night here. There's got to be more.

Silver: set for a rebound?
Silver has had a poor run in recent months, with its price falling from over US$17/oz in mid-June to just over US$14/oz in September. The 'hybrid' metal has come under pressure for several reasons: its strong correlation with gold (which has also fallen) has dragged it lower, while the sell-off in industrial metals has exacerbated market pessimism towards all metals.
So, what does the future hold for silver? Is the silver price likely to fall further in the near term or is it set for a rebound?
Poor sentiment
Sentiment towards silver is poor at present, with speculative positioning in the metal having fallen to its lowest level since futures data became available in 1995. Moreover, silver is trading at its deepest discount to gold since 19931. We can offer two main explanations as to why sentiment is so poor right now:
First, with developed market equity benchmarks such as the S&P 500 enjoying an excellent run, investors appear to have lost interest in silver. As silver is a hybrid metal that has both cyclical and defensive traits, it is often a forgotten asset class.
Second, the recent sell-off in industrial metals has cast doubts over all metals with industrial traits. Investors are concerned that burgeoning trade-wars may result in demand for industrial metals falling.
However, looking at silver's price decline, we believe that the metal is oversold, and that recent pessimism is excessive. Using the framework described in our article Silver outlook: Searching for a silver lining, our analysis leads us to believe that silver prices have the potential to rise in the near term, driven by a recovery in the price of gold. Based on our model forecasts, we expect silver prices to rise to around US$16.3/oz by Q3 2019, up from approximately US$14.2/oz at present.
Gold's price has also fallen in recent months, however, if gold makes a recovery, which we believe it will (see Gold outlook: upside correction overdue), we expect silver's price to rise too.
We would also expect silver to potentially outperform gold in this scenario, as silver has historically risen faster than gold when precious metals are rising, and silver's deep discount to gold could provide added momentum.
Furthermore, we also believe that if silver's price begins to move higher, a short-covering rally is a possibility given the high level of short interest that exists at present. Short-covering activity tends to exacerbate price gains, and this could potentially act as a tailwind, and set in motion a rally in the price of the metal.
Strong structural support
Looking further out, our medium-term view on silver is also positive.
As a hybrid metal, silver is used in a wide range of applications, ranging from electric cars to solar panels, and its unique attributes make it nearly impossible to substitute. With mine supply of the metal likely to remain tight, we believe that demand will be structurally supported over the medium term.
Of course, there are risks to our investment thesis.
Although Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' indices (PMIs) are above 50 and likely to remain above 50 (indicating growth in global manufacturing), they are declining, which indicates that the pace of industrial economic growth is moderating. This could potentially cap gains.
Silver exchange inventory levels, which have been increasing recently, are another issue to keep an eye on as rising inventory levels could also act as a constraint.
Positive view
However, overall, we are positive on the outlook for silver both in the short term and the medium term. With silver's price having fallen significantly in recent months, we believe a rebound is likely. A short-covering rally is also a possibility given the high level of short interest that exists at present. With gold poised for a rebound, we think silver is likely to ride gold's coattails higher if a recovery in precious metals takes place.

10 Best Low-Sugar Kombuchas
Probiotics are producing a lot of buzz for good reason: Populating your gut with these beneficial bacteria is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, proper brain function, clear skin, and a functioning digestive system. While many of us choose to get our daily dose of probiotics from foods, such as yogurt and kimchi, kombucha is a solid and oft-overlooked go-to.
The probiotic drink is concocted by fermenting sweetened tea (usually a blend of green and black teas) with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, also known as SCOBY. Concerned about the added sugars? Kombucha requires a dash of the sweet stuff because the yeast feeds on the sugar in order to ferment the mixture. The amount of sugar present in kombucha will continue to reduce the longer it is left to ferment.
After the cooled sweet tea is mixed with SCOBY, Colleen Sheehan, AADP Holistic Health Practitioner from NutritiousLife.com, explains that the brew takes about eight days to ferment until it can be bottled and spiked with flavor. After that, the brew is left to ferment at room temperature again for about three more days. "The building of the pressure in the bottle causes the kombucha to become more carbonated," she clarifies.
Ready to add this bubbly drink to your weekly routine? Below, we've rounded up the best kombucha brands offering the lowest-sugar picks on the market. Each pick packs in 10 grams of sugar or less per serving and features bold flavors coming from fruit, herbs, and spices that help balance the beverage's natural acidity. For more ways to get your probiotic fix in liquid form, don't miss these 9 Best Probiotic-Rich Kefirs for Your Gut.

Looking to swap your morning cup of Joe? We bet you'll swoon over GT's new Koffee kombucha, crafted with green and black teas, cold brew, vanilla and almond extracts, and two billion CFUs of gut-healing probiotics. For just six grams of sugar per serving, you'll be happy you made the switch from your daily latte to this java-infused sip. Before you crack open a bottle, GT recommends tilting it back and forth instead of shaking it to evenly distribute the sediment.
Suja Organic Pineapple Passion Fruit Kombucha
Take a mental trip to the tropics with this pineapple- and passion fruit-spiked bev. In addition to the organic fruit juices, Suja adds anti-inflammatory turmeric, which has been shown to improve ailments ranging from irritable bowel syndrome to depression and even acne.
Health-Ade Kombucha Ginger-Lemon
If you keep up with the Kardashians, you've likely seen multiple pap shots of Kourtney accessorizing with a bottle of Health-Ade. The (arguably) healthiest sister of the famous family hydrates with kombucha for good reason. This ginger-lemon flavor strikes a balance between sweet and tart, while surprising you with a subtle kick in every sip thanks to cold-pressed juices.
Kevita Blueberry Basil Kombucha
For a midsummer pick-me-up, grab a bottle of Kevita's blueberry and basil refresher. It's brewed with sweet blueberry juice and aromatic basil extract and sweetened with a dash of stevia. What's more, this potent probiotic pick is organic, vegan, kosher, and verified non-alcoholic.

Brew Doctor Kombucha Clear Mind
An invigorating blend of rosemary, peppermint, sage, and green tea helps clear your mind come midday while providing a plethora of antioxidants. One cup contains just five grams of sugar, deeming Brew Doctor the ultimate antidote to the 2 p.m. slump. What's unique about Brew Dr. is that the company doesn't add any juices, flavoring, or sugar to sweeten their kombucha after fermentation. Instead, the fruity and herbal notes you taste come directly from the hand-picked tea blend.
Clearly Kombucha Black Currant
The small, tart berry adds a delightfully sweet and tangy flavor without loading up on natural sugar. Add some effervescence to your day by pairing this pick with lunch and reap kombucha's glorious digestive benefits.
Juice Press Lime Mint Kombucha
Lime and mint combine for a lemonade-like treat that will transform your day from drab to fab. The low sugar and calorie counts will make hunting down your local Juice Press totally worthwhile.

Archives of the TeradataForum
Message Posted: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 @ 16:30:51 GMT
Some DBMSs will recognize when a query can be resolved by retrieving data only by scanning a secondary index without having to retrieve data from the base table.
Does Teradata apply a similar concept?
For example, a table defined as:
With a PI on ColA and a NUSI on ColC,ColD, if a query selected only ColC and ColD would the query do a single AMP query against the index or would it still use the base table?
Are join indexes the only type of index where the columns in the query matching the columns in the index affect the choice of the index over the base table?

I've been building another bird table. When I came to split some small branches for the edgings that prevent the food from blowing off the table, I was struck by the symmetry of the grain when the split passes perfectly through the centre pith.
WWF's Earth Hour
The inside will not be seen once assembled, as the bark side goes to the outside, pity really. Perhaps I'll do a seat with split branches one day. NB, a new haft for the axe is drying in the fireplace to replace the dodgy one in the photo that came with the rather good Kentish pattern head. On the subject of which, I made a new little maul today for tightening the wedges on the lathe. The big old one is rather heavy and I seem to have a temporary problem with my right arm muscles, so a smaller one seemed a prudent precaution. It works just as well, the haft is Ash and the head some Elm I had left over from bark stripping, I like the way the head curves down to each side.
Over the last week I've been building a new display stand ready for the new season (which started on Monday, visitors the Strid now have to pay to park during the week as well as at weekends.) It mimiks my birdtables, with the Ash shingle roof. I've also added a custom rack to show off the dibbers which are selling particularly well this Spring season.
Bit unsure about the position as it cuts right between my position at the lathe and customers. Maybe gives them a little privacy so they feel easier looking at the goods? I know I don't like being sales pressurized, but the lack of eye contact is a bit wierd for me.
Assembled and erected a little bird box too, hope it's not too late, the birds are all rather busy and I'm sure a Blackbird was singing all day today further down the wood.
Also I turned a monster spurtle yesterday as an eye-catcher – it's about two foot long. I've ordered the pyrography kit today that was always planned, so Jane can have a go at decorating the spurtle.

N.C. State's Bradley Chubb kept stealing Kelly Bryant's towel
Defensive players will do just about anything to get into a quarterback's head.
N.C. State defensive end Bradley Chubb was making his best attempt on Saturday against Clemson, as he repeatedly stole quarterback Kelly Bryant's towel.

Bryant told TigerNet.com he thought the prank was funny — but he does want his towels back.
"It was like the first series when he took my towel and I looked down and he ran to the sidelines," said Bryant. "I was like 'OK, maybe he just does that.' The next time he did it again and I was like, 'Aww man I can't let him get my towel again.' He ended up taking it when Deon (Cain) scored and I grabbed it back. It was just a little playing fighting, I guess."
Chubb may have gotten away with stealing Bryant's towel a few times, but Bryant got the last laugh, as Clemson defeated the Wolfpack 38-31.

Inside Our New Logo
In 2017, we changed our agency's name from Head Start, Inc. to Explorers Academy. Why the change? Our program is growing as we serve more families in innovative ways. We expanded our program to open a new school in Billings and create paid tuition slots for over-income families. Although the Head Start mission of supporting vulnerable children will always be at the core of what we do, we are growing our program so that even more children and families in Yellowstone and Carbon counties can benefit from our evidence-based education and family services programs. When we became Explorers Academy, we wanted to create a new logo that truly reflects who we are – a high quality, early learning center that engages and supports both children and families in their learning and growth. Our logo represents our foundations and how we serve families, children, and our community.
Crest and Colors
We styled our logo as a crest to represent the quality of our program and its enduring impact on your child's life. The colors of our logo are grounded in nature, as our teaching is grounded in children's natural curiosities.
Financial Stability
The house in our logo represents our goal of supporting families in securing financial stability. As a Head Start program, Explorers Academy promotes well-being of the entire family by supporting parents in achieving goals such as financial stability, housing stability, and continuing education.
Family Surrounding Children
The family in our logo represents how we work with families to provide services that wrap around each child, promoting and supporting their development, health, and education. We partner with parents every step of the way, supporting families in finding quality health care, developing critical reading skills at home, and strengthening parents' relationships with their children. New in 2017, we are excited to offer child care before and after preschool hours to better support working families in our community.
Exploratory Learning
The book in our logo represents exploratory learning, the core of our approach to education at Explorers Academy. We are a play-based program utilizing tools such as the Creative Curriculum for Preschool to encourage exploration and discovery in learning. Our ultimate goal is to build your child's readiness for school by incorporating social and emotional skill development into their education.

'A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one'
Heraclitus of Ephesus
Sooner or later, our environment will become completely wireless. That is great news indeed, as literally, the more wires we have to keep lying around, the messier our world is. Therefore, by and large, the idea of our full transition to Bluetooth devices brings sighs of both relief and excitement.
See if your computer has Bluetooth
These days most computers have the built-in Bluetooth feature, which is extremely convenient. First, let's figure out if you have it on your PC:
- Open your Start menu -> Go to Control Panel
- Navigate to Network and Internet -> Explore Network Connections
- Here you should see the Bluetooth Network Connection entry
However, if it is notably absent, it seems that your machine does not have Bluetooth.
Add Bluetooth to your PC
So, if you happen to own a device without Bluetooth support, there is no need to despair: you can add it quite effortlessly. Just obtain a USB Bluetooth adapter (it should not cost much) and plug it into your USB port.
When the device is recognized, make sure its drivers are installed. If not, you can always use Auslogics Driver Updater to get the job done or browse the net manually for the versions needed.
For this purpose, you can also employ Device Manager. Here is how you can do that
in Windows 10:
- Press the Win + X shortcut-> Select Device Manager
- Select your Bluetooth adapter -> Right-tap on it to choose the update driver software option
In Windows 8.1:
- Right-click on your Start icon -> The Quick Access menu will open
- Locate Device Manager and click on it
- Navigate to your Bluetooth adapter -> Right-click on it -> Update its driver software
In Windows 7:
- Go to your Start menu -> Select Computer
- Click on Manage -> The Computer Management screen will appear
- Select Device Manager -> Right-click on your Bluetooth adapter -> Select the Update option
Now you can use the Bluetooth feature to your advantage.
Connect your Bluetooth devices properly
Nonetheless, on closer inspection, things are not that simple: establishing Bluetooth connection often becomes quite a challenge, since numerous pairing issues tend to come up out of the blue. And yet there is no need to worry – just work your way through our guide on how to connect a Bluetooth device on Windows.
Here is how to do that in Windows 7:
- Switch on your Bluetooth device -> Make it discoverable (check its manual or vendor's site to know how)
- Open your Start menu -> Navigate to Devices and Printers
- Select the Add a device option -> Locate your device -> Press Next
To connect a Bluetooth device to a computer running Windows 8.1, take the following steps:
- Turn on your device -> Make sure it can be discovered
- Press your Start button -> Locate the Search box -> Type Bluetooth into it
- Select Bluetooth settings -> Switch on your Bluetooth
- Select the device you wish to connect -> Press Pair
If you wish to pair a Bluetooth audio device with your Win 10 PC, make use of the instructions below:
- Enable your audio device -> It should be discoverable
- Switch on Bluetooth on your PC. To do that, navigate to your taskbar, click on the Action Center icon and select Bluetooth
- Click on Connect and select your device name. Follow the on-screen prompts if any
To connect other devices to a Windows 10 computer, do the following:
- Turn on your device -> Make sure that it is discoverable
- Click on the Windows logo icon on your taskbar
- Select the Settings gear icon -> Go to Devices
- Navigate to Bluetooth & other devices -> Switch on Bluetooth
- Proceed to Add Bluetooth or other device -> Go to Bluetooth
- Select your device -> Follow the instructions if there are any -> Press Done
After the above manipulations, your devices are supposed to work smoothly and connect to your PC automatically when within its range with Bluetooth turned on.
What if Bluetooth doesn't work?
Unfortunately, Bluetooth connection errors happen every now and then – there is always a catch, you see. If your Bluetooth seems out of order, we recommend you to look through this article – there you will find an exhaustive guide on how to resolve Bluetooth problems on Windows 10. Some of the presented methods are suitable for Windows 7 as well as Windows 8/8.1.
Now you know how to connect a Bluetooth device on Windows.
Do you have something to say about this issue?
We are looking forward to your questions and ideas!

LibreOffice Calc Macro Question
I have a workbook created in Excel that I've been using for a long time without any problems. In attempting to run a macro in Calc (first time in Calc), I'm getting the following error message:
BASIC runtime error.
Object variable not set.
It points to line 16 of the code:
8 Sheets("avgs").Select
9 Rows("3:3").Select
10 Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
11 Range("A4").Copy
12 Range("A3").Select
13 ActiveSheet.Paste
14 Dim rngC As Range
15 For Each rngC In Range("A3")
16 rngC = DateSerial(Year(rngC), Month(rngC) + 1, Day(rngC))
17 Next
Any ideas how to get this to run in Calc?
Also, is there a way to get the list of the workbook's macros to show immediately, without having to dive into the folders to find them?

Just from a generic coding basis, (not used Libreoffice other than basic look at it)
Line 16 does show a number of spaces in the formula - 16 rngC»=»DateSerial(Year(rngC),»Month(rngC)»+»1,»Day(rngC))
Try removing those spaces that I have marked »
Some coding languages will ignore extraneous spaces, others will not which could be the case here
It could also be that the syntax for the line 14 Dim rngC As Range is incorrect or must be declared at the start of the code (some coding languages are a little pedantic), but this is not obvious as the variable rngC is used in line 15 without throwing an error

Thanks for the reply.
I removed the spaces as you noted but that didn't work either. My workbook has two macros, one much simpler than the other. I re-recorded the simpler one and am amazed at the difference in code between Calc's VBA code and Excel's code. I would have thought that, with minor differences, the two sets of VBA codes would be very similar. That doesn't seem to be the case. Looks like I'll have to recreate each macro.
Does anyone know of a converter for Excel VBA to Calc VBA?

Considering how complicated the VBA macro code is in LibreOffice, I've decided to stay with MS Office, at least for now. I'm very much surprised that its coding is not more closely aligned with that of MS Office.

VBA is I believe still copywrite software, so it could be that companies / groups or individuals that are not able to licence VBA for use in their free software, would turn to one of the open source "BASIC" type languages to perform programmed tasks in their office suites

Thanks for the tip. I'll give Open Office a try and see how it compares.

The two are almost identical, in fact LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffce when it looked like OpenOffice was about to die off. That didn't happen, but to this day OpenOffice is in less active development than LibreOffice, tending to lag behind in both features and support.
One of the biggest differences between Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice is the frequency of releases. LibreOffice is updated much more frequently than Apache OpenOffice, which means you'll receive new features and bug fixes more quickly...
...Although both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice can open and edit native Microsoft formats DOCX and XLSX, only LibreOffice is able to save to these formats.

A follow up...
I tried OpenOffice and was not impressed. I think I'd go back to LibreOffice vs OpenOffice, if I decide to abandon MS Office.
Getting back to macros, one more question if I may: In Excel, when I select the 'view macro' option, the resulting Macro box shows all the macros. In LibreOffice, I have to hunt for them. Is there a way to ensure that all the workbook macros are in the same place and the 'run macro' selection goes to that place?

Mustafa Ozalcin
Director, Loyalty Marketing and Sales, Amadeus IT Group
In 2000, around the same time that British Airways and Qantas were partnering with Amadeus to develop the next generation of customer IT management solutions, I was taking my first steps in the travel industry with Turkish Airlines, who were in the process of launching their loyalty programme, Miles & Smiles.
During the various induction and training courses, one of the things that stuck in my mind was the way revenue management experts were able to use historical booking data to forecast future booking revenues. I'd already taken an interest in and researched the loyalty program and asked one of the revenue managers;
"We have all this historical data on bookings which we already use, and now we're going to have detailed information on individual passenger transactions…I suppose it won't be too long before we can predict when a particular passenger will travel, allowing us to book their ticket and send it to them in advance…?"
It was more an observation than a question. He dismissed it with the response, "That's quite a futuristic fantasy. I can't see it happening any time soon…" And he was right. It didn't.
Loyalty programmes, for the main, are still predominantly rewards programmes and the reality is that there are more points and miles sitting in member accounts than can ever be spent, and an oversupply of miles limits the programme's impact on real customer loyalty.
To sustain member loyalty, leading airlines are looking for ways to make the leap from rewards programmes to customer experience programmes, by creating an offering beyond miles accrual to one that includes elements of personalisation and predictive offers and servicing – part of the way to the "futuristic fantasy".
Today, loyalty programmes still run mainly on in-house solutions, with little or no connectivity to other operational systems. In order to stretch beyond the self-contained loyalty programme and evolve towards customer experience, systems must evolve. Amadeus recognised this and took a major stride to shape the future of travel, by acquiring the industry's leading loyalty platformin 2013.
Inferred traveller behaviour and taking the right action at the right time (and making life easier for them in the process) is just one area that is going to be a hot topic for discussion at the upcoming Loyalty 2014event in Amsterdam, where Amadeus will be available to share its vision with you.
The event takes place between 17-19 February at the NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky.
Join us and let's discuss how customer loyalty will shape the future of travel.

Reimbursement Analysis
ARI's Strategic Consulting group provided an educational client with a comprehensive analysis showing the quantitative and qualitative comparisons of using fleet vehicles versus reimbursement.
Fleet Background
Customer in the education industry with 700 vehicles, 60% of their fleet was made up of Dodge Caravans and Ford Escapes used to carry samples and products.
The company was purchased in the fall of 2013 by a company who took over and immediately wanted to cut costs everywhere, including fleet. They wanted to take their vehicles on fleet management and move them to reimbursement. They viewed this as a major cost savings. They would reimburse their drivers $310/month, plus $0.17/mile for fuel.
The client's fleet team decided to utilize our Strategic Consulting group to run a reimbursement analysis showing the quantitative and qualitative comparisons of fleet versus reimbursement. The client understood the impact of the qualitative items, but new ownership was most concerned with cutting costs and was convinced going to reimbursement was the best way to do so with fleet.
The fleet team understood the new ownership was open to new ideas. ARI performed site visits, had discussions with drivers, and performed ride alongs to understand how the vehicles were being used. Based on our assessment of the fleet, ARI determined the client no longer needed the cargo space they once needed. We proposed they replace all vehicles with Ford Fusions. Doing this would enable the client to negotiate a better volume discount from the OEM, incur lower annual maintenance costs, improve fuel economy, and realize gains on their current vehicle sale proceeds due to the resale market still being strong. We also suggested a monthly driver contribution deduction.
More efficiently run by a fleet management company.
Demonstrated best cost savings approach was not reimbursement.
$2,141,790 in total life cycle savings.
Projected Savings/ Benefits and Results to Date
The analysis and recommendations showed $2,141,790 in total life cycle savings ($535,447 annual savings) for a company provided Ford Fusion vs reimbursing their drivers $310/month, plus $0.17/mile for fuel. The client understood their fleet would be more efficiently run by a fleet management company than with reimbursement and they were extremely happy with the service ARI has provided over the years.
With the help and involvement of the client, we took a deep dive and explored multiple options to determine the best cost savings source for them:
- Closed end leasing
- Lease (with current models) vs reimbursement
- Lease (with new vehicle model) vs reimbursement
- A mix of closed end and open end leasing
Our customer's fleet team was able to demonstrate to ownership the best cost savings approach was not reimbursement, but would be to replace their current fleet with new models and stick with open end leasing.
New Vehicle Ordering
ARI worked with a large energy client to streamline the vehicle ordering process, slash order-to-delivery times, and reduce costs.

08.11.2011 - The Structure of Modern Cultural Theory - Thomas Osborne [Manchester University Press,Paperback]
The book argues that Cultural Theory is best seen, at least in its "modern" form, as an ethical discipline. As such, it should be seen as a form of inquiry governed by the guiding idea of the cultivation of critical autonomy and, as such, is designed as much to change what we are in our relations to ourselves as to describe the world as it is in particular "positive" ways. The content of the book develops this argument through critical readings of three canonical writers, namely Theodor Adorno, Michel Foucault, and Pierre Bourdieu. A final chapter contrasts the ethical idea of modern Cultural Theory developed here with its postmodern derivations, which, it is argued, have taken both a more positivist and even more moralistic form.
Table of contents:
Preface and acknowledgements * Introduction * Culture – an antinomical view * Adorno as educator * Foucault and the ethics of subjectivity * Bourdieu, ethics and reflexivity * A note on post-modern cultural theory * Conclusion
