The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.
~Peter Drucke
For a recent assignment in my Certificate of Educational Technology course we were asked to review three Web 2.0 tools and evaluate their worth to teaching and learning. A fairly straight-forward task and quite pertinent considering we make these kinds of decisions regularly in our classrooms. We had reference material to guide us, such as the revised Bloom's taxonomy and the NETS from ISTE, but I also wanted to see what others do ~ how do other educators decide which tools to use to support and enhance teaching and learning. When I began this search I was surprised that I could not easily find many examples of evaluation tools available to educators. I compiled what I was able to find using Storify.
One of the most challenging aspects of this task was deciding upon the three tools to evaluate. How to choose, with so many available? So, I started with the obvious, the Web 2.0 tool my students and I use on a regular basis, Google Docs.
Description: Google Docs is a set of free online tools that allow you to create, edit and view your documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms and drawings from any computer or smart phone. All of these documents allow for real time collaboration and have privacy settings that allow you to control who has access to view and or edit the document. Simple to use and easy to download to your own computer or embed in another site, such as a blog or wiki.
Digital Literacy Value: While Google Docs can be made private and edited and viewed by only one user, the digital literacy value is in their ability to support collaboration, allowing groups of people to communicate and work together to create one document. When student groups use Google Docs to collaboratively inquire, they have opportunities to conduct research and apply critical thinking skills while sharing, analyzing and synthesizing their data. These are also authentic opportunities for students to develop their digital citizenship skills; learning how to treat others in a virtual space, respecting others' contributions and using online sources ethically. I also love the fact that it helps our classroom to become a 'paperless' environment.
Examples of Use: My students have used Google Docs to support collaborative inquiries during smaller investigations to collate data and then to prepare reports, which allows me to provide feedback to the students on their work. Students also used Google Docs to support their investigations when preparing for the PYP Exhibition, which allowed them to share their progress not only with the classroom teacher, but with their mentors as well. I have also used Google Forms to collect information from my students. For example, we use this tool as a regular part of our math classes as a digital exit slip where the information helps me plan for next learning steps. Lastly, I have used the Google Docs and Presentations for professional reasons when preparing to facilitate a workshop with someone who lives in another country.
The second tool I chose to evaluate was VoiceThread because it is one that has great potential and I haven't used it as effectively as I would like. After preparing this evaluation I have decided to use VoiceThread more often with my students.
Description: This is a wonderful tool to foster collaboration and sharing ideas around a topic or an issue. VoiceThread is like an online conversation where you can upload images and then leave comments about the content. These comments can be typed, audio recordings or video recordings. Participants are also able to draw or write upon the images as they share their comments. The best part about this tool is that participants can listen to comments and then build upon what others have said.
Digital Literacy Value: VoiceThread can be used in various ways that would support students' digital literacies development. Using a teacher created VoiceThread could provide students with opportunities to analyse and evaluate content. They would need to understand the comments left by others and build upon this, justifying their own opinion. Having students create their own VoiceThread to show their understanding of a concept would require them to apply their knowledge in a different context.
Examples of Use: I have recently used VoiceThread with my students as a means for collaborative groups to share the central ideas they created with their classmates. Students had a set of success criteria and were trying to decide which of the statements best met the criteria and should be included as entries from our class in the larger 'voting' process for the Exhibition central idea. More recently we have used this tool to support a conversation about small group animations the students have completed for a unit of inquiry. We will be using the comments left by students as a mean of assessing their understanding of our central idea.
The last tool I selected for this assignment was Storify. I've not yet used it with students, but I've always liked the idea of compiling socially constructed information to tell a story.
Description: This tool allows you to search social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Google and Youtube to build a story around an issue or topic. Easy to use, you simply type in the subject you would like to explore and select which media you would like to search. You browse the links that appear in a sidebar and select the items you wish to include in your own story by simply dragging them into your workspace. These 'stories' are then hosted on Storify and you may share the link or embed them into your own site. You may go back later on and update any stories you have created.
Digital Literacy Value: While I have not yet used this tool with students, I have used it myself when exploring an idea. I like it because I am able to keep the sites I come across in various places together in a way that is easy for me to access. By reading a variety of perspectives I build my own understanding of an issue and it is an opportunity to evaluate what others may be saying. If done well, this tool could be used to create a 'story' that is either well balanced, showing multiple perspectives, or if your purpose is to persuade, deliberately biased toward a particular view.
Examples of Use: I've created stories to capture my explorations of Twitter and the flipped classroom model and most recently, Choosing the 'Right' Web Tool. I found it helped me to read a variety of posts and view videos in a more focused, purposeful manner as I had used a 'guiding question' in the description of my story.
The real power of this exercise was not in my own evaluation of three Web 2.0 tools, but in the sharing of our thoughts in class. The resulting compiled list of tools, with my colleagues' annotations has become a most valuable resource and I would highly recommend such an endeavour.

A public appeal was launched today to raise £3.3m in three months to buy the Staffordshire hoard, one of the most jaw-dropping of archeological finds or, as the historian David Starkey called it, 5.5 kilos of Anglo-Saxon "gangland bling".
Politicians and archaeologists joined Starkey in Birmingham to launch a campaign to raise the money and keep the hoard, the largest and most significant find of Anglo-Saxon gold, in the Midlands. Failure to raise the money was almost unthinkable, said Starkey.
"It won't go abroad because an export bar would be put on it, but the worst case scenario is that it might be sold on the open market and split up and that can't be allowed to happen. It is not just the quantity of the find that is remarkable, it is the quality and it is the story that it tells."
Starkey conceded times were hard but said the big queues to see objects from the hoard heartened him. "It underscores what I always say, which is that history is not just about reason and logic, which is what you get with the school curriculum, it is about story and myth and emotion. This hoard has got all of those things."
It is six months since metal detectorist Terry Herbert made the discovery on a field near Lichfield, Staffordshire. Within five days he had 244 bags of objects. By the end of the excavation some 1,800 items, including 712 made of gold and 707 of silver, had been discovered after being buried for 1,300 years.
"This is entirely male gangland bling," said Starkey. "This is the Rolex watch and gold chains of a gang leader."
Archaeologists have been studying the artefacts. Kevin Leahy, an expert on Anglo-Saxon metalwork, has been examining images including creatures with the bodies of men and heads of wolves. He believes they are not mythical creatures but depictions of men wearing wolfskin masks and pelts: berserkers, an elite squad attached to Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon lords. Other previously unpublished images from the hoard, also on foil fragments, show figures remarkably like modern comic book images of Martians – they are in fact protecting their heads with small round shields.
The hoard was valued at £3.3m last November and that money will be shared by Herbert and the farmer who owns the field. Today the Art Fund charity pledged £300,000 to the campaign, and Birmingham and Stoke- on-Trent city councils have also pledged £100,000 each. If secured, the hoard will go on display at Birmingham museum and art gallery and the Potteries museum and art gallery in Stoke.
Culture minister Margaret Hodge said: "I know how much the hoard has captured the imaginations of local people, and so I am confident we'll make it. The hoard is incredibly significant to the understanding of our Saxon heritage and it is only right that it should be kept and displayed in the west Midlands for future generations to enjoy."

On an assignment to produce videos promoting Cross River gorilla conservation to indigenous communities in Nigeria and Cameroon, I invited community members to join me. I followed decolonising and feminist methodologies to develop a form of participatory video production, 'Folk Filmmaking', in which participants present their own accounts of wildlife, conservation, and environmental values by performing stories. Through the films, participants shared their knowledge as morality tales, providing contextual nuance to moral challenges, clarity on local concerns, and opportunities for better understanding of local conflicts with conservation. Most films use gorillas as a plot device but orient the moral issues not to the ape's plight but to communal struggles with challenges such as marginalisation, modernity, and corruption. The films do not say how best to conserve the last 300 Cross River gorillas but they help articulate indigenous values and show the challenges conservation must overcome. This paper shares an account of lessons learned during the project through continual, critical reflection on my process. It describes my methodology and the films produced then offers an analysis and evaluation of the project. It concludes with notes on the potential and pitfalls of participatory video in contexts of cross-cultural conflict over conservation.

text: Most remakes are redundant. Philip Dunne did a cracking adaptation (1936) of this captivity tale, the second of the Leatherstocking series by Fenimore Cooper that has occupied the minds of so many children. Michael Mann and Christopher Crowe took this classical Hollywood adventure and brought it up to date for the Nineties without losing any of its great elements – and adding an eroticism that is modern and eternal plus a portrayal of violence that is truly gruesome in its realism. It's the middle of the eighteenth century and the Anglo-French wars are underway in the Colonies. Colonel Munro's daughters Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and Alice (Jodhi May) are being escorted to safety by Cora's wannabe beau Major Heyward (Steven Waddington) through the Adirondacks when they are set upon by a Huron war party led by French scout Magua (Wes Studi). They are rescued by Nathaniel 'Hawkeye' Poe (Daniel Day-Lewis), adoptive son of the last of the Mohicans, Chingachgook (Russell Means) and brother to his son Uncas (Eric Schweig). They return them to Munro at Fort William Henry, under siege from the French and Cora and Hawkeye consummate their overwhelming attraction to one another. Munro wants Hawkeye hanged for sedition after Heyward lies about what they've seen done to a settler family whom Hawkeye knew well. Hawkeye is imprisoned. The French offer a peaceful and honourable surrender, having intercepted a message from Fort Webb stating that no English troops are coming to the aid of the garrison. But Magua has sworn revenge against Munro and raids the departing troops, carrying out his threat to take out Munro's heart – while it's still beating. He also wants to kill his seed because of what Munro did to his tribe, his wife and his family. Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas rescue the women and take off in a canoe, catching up with Heyward, who has taken off without them. Their escape to a cave and waterfall leads to an inevitable outcome, Heyward continuing to wish Hawkeye hanged, jealous of what he deems to be Cora's infatuation, with Magua and his men fast upon them … This is simply stunning. The cinematography (Dante Spinotti) brings together a palette of scarlet uniforms in bright, musket-fired daylight with autumnal daubs appropriate to a landscape of the period; there's a pulsating, throbbing score (by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman) that tightens the vise-like effect of the narrative; and there is a devastating eroticism between Day-Lewis and Stowe the likes of which hasn't been seen this side of Garbo and Gilbert in Flesh and the Devil. Have there ever been more romantic lines than those of Hawkeye to Cora, No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you?! Beautifully made and performed, this is brutal, brilliant filmmaking from a master director at the height of his considerable powers. See it on the biggest screen you can. Breathtaking.

Remembering Our Civil War Heritage and Heroes:
Captain Samuel A. Swiggett: From a Civil War Prison
To the Montana Legislature [Part 1]
By Ken Robison
For The River Press
December 25, 2013
This continues a monthly series commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War and the veterans that came to Montana after the war. This issue features the first of two parts highlighting the adventures of Captain Samuel A. Swiggett who survived a Confederate prisoner of war camp to be elected to the Montana Legislature. Descendants of Montana Civil War veterans are encouraged to send their stories and photos to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bolstered by an indomitable spirit of optimism, Samuel A. Swiggett survived thirteen months in Confederate prisoner of war camps and left an impressive record of achievement in territorial Montana. Life simply could not keep this good man down.
Samuel was born in Dorchester County, Maryland, May 19, 1834, the son of William H. and Henrietta M. Hurst Swiggett. When he was thirteen years of age, his mother died, and left on his own he became a tailor's apprentice. In 1852, Samuel moved west to Cambridge City, Indiana and three years later on to Iowa, where he settled at Blakesburg, Wapello County. In 1856 he married Eliza H. Van Cleave of Indiana. Working as a tailor and postmaster with a small general store, on August 8, 1862, Samuel Swiggett enlisted for a three-year term and was mustered in to the 36th Iowa Infantry Regiment at Camp Lincoln, Keokuk, on October 4th. Active in recruiting, he was elected captain of Company B. Capt. Swiggett served three years and one month in Arkansas and Tennessee, and his army experience proved of extraordinary hardship and suffering.
Much of what we know today about the 36th Iowa Infantry and Captain S. A. Swiggett come from a small volume he published in 1895, while he was living in Montana. This book entitled The Bright Side of Prison Life makes his personal experiences and that of his regiment the keynote of the narrative. He wrote about the good and the bad of the war and prison life, filtered by his sunny optimism.
The men of the 36th Iowa were first issued old Austrian and Belgian smoothbore muskets with "sword" bayonets, but these antiques were eventually replaced with more effective Enfield rifled muskets. Following basic training at Camp Lincoln, the regiment departed Keokuk on November 1, 1862 aboard two steamboats for St. Louis to await corps and division assignment and to continue training.
At St. Louis, the 36th Iowa went into garrison at Benton Barracks. They were attached to the 13th Corps, Army of Tennessee, and commenced drill by brigade and division. On December 20, 1862 they embarked a steamboat for the federal garrison at Helena, Arkansas. On board the steamer Captain Swiggett and his men were surrounded by "soldiers, hard tack and coffins," and he wrote: "None knew where we were going and the conflict between hope and fear was in many a breast—hope of success and glory, and distrust of the issue."
The steamboat halted at Memphis when local citizens hailed it from shore with an alarming report that Confederate Brigadier General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his cavalry were nearby and were preparing an attack on the city. That night the men of the 36th slept in Jackson Square with their arms stacked nearby. The regiment later moved to old vacated mule-sheds and remained in Memphis performing guard duty until 1 January 1863, when it resumed movement to Helena, Arkansas.
At Helena, the regiment became part of the 1st Brigade, 13th Division, 13th Corps under Maj. Gen. Benjamin M. Prentiss. The regiment was initially quartered in tents but later moved into winter quarters at Fort Curtis in semi-permanent "half-cabins" consisting of log walls with canvas ceilings and dirt floors.
In February 1863, the 36th Iowa, 600 strong, embarked with other elements of the 13th Corps for Mississippi to take part in the Yazoo Pass Expedition. This operation was designed to blow an opening through the east bank of the Mississippi River below Helena to open a channel connecting with an inland water route that would enable General Ulysses Grant to encircle the Confederate stronghold at Vicksburg from the north. Captain Swiggett noted that the 36th Iowa had a "sharp exchange" with the rebels, and the regiment was engaged on this march for 40 days. They found no unguarded route to Vicksburg, and the expedition was abandoned. The men suffered because of almost continuous exposure to the elements on this campaign, including freezing rain, wading through cold swamp water, and high winds that blew their tents down. The constant cold and dampness took a heavy toll with dozens of soldiers suffering with colds, flu, and fever.
Returning to Helena, the 36th began a physically demanding daily routine of drill and fortification building in anticipation of a Confederate attack expected with the arrival of spring weather. The 36th Iowa was assigned to build breast works and trenches in support of Battery A at Fort Curtis, on the northernmost end of the Union defenses. The federal line ran in a semicircle around the town with the Mississippi River on their east flank.
On July 4th, 1863 a Confederate army of 8,000-10,000 under Maj. Gen. Theophilus H. Holmes attacked Helena. With devastating artillery fire and fire support from the U.S. Navy gunboat Tyler anchored offshore, the Union positions repulsed the assault in a savage, bloody all-day downeybrook under a burning hot sun. The Confederates nearly captured some of the federal redoubts where the fighting devolved into gory hand-to-hand combat. The attacking Confederates suffered devastating loss of about 3,200 while victorious Union forces had some 500 killed, wounded, or missing.
On July 5th the 36th Iowa joined other Union forces in celebrating Independence Day a day late by collecting and burying rebel corpses. Vicksburg also surrendered to Gen. Grant on July 4th. These two victories ended further serious Confederate threat to federal operations along the Mississippi River and essentially cut off regular lines of communication and supply between rebel forces on either side of the Mississippi for the duratuon of the war. With New Orleans, Vicksburg, Helena, Memphis and St. Louis all in federal hands, the Mississippi became the uncontested transportation corridor for the Union.
Following the battle at Helena, the 36th Iowa joined 7th Corps under Maj. Gen. Frederick Steele and was ordered into garrison duty at the federal supply base at DuVall's Bluff, Arkansas, on the White River. During July and August, the regiment was sent on guard assignment to Pine Bluff. In early September, Steele's Corps, including the 36th, launched an attack up the Arkansas River, converging on Little Rock and, after a running battle with Confederate forces, captured that city on September 10, 1863. The 36th Iowa went into bivouac on the grounds of the Arkansas state capital, enduring a bitterly cold winter there.
Departing Little Rock on March 23, 1864 Steele's Corps of about 20,000 troops, including the 36th Iowa, began moving to Shreveport, Louisiana to join forces the Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks who was operating near the Red River. Steele's Corps immediately encountered rebel skirmishers along their Line of March. As Steele's column began to cross the Little Missouri River at Elkin's Ford, rebels, who were laying in ambush at the ford, ferociously attacked as Steele's men made their crossing. A sharp infantry and artillery exchange ensued in which the 36th played a key role. After an all-day fight, the rebels withdrew. As the federal column proceeded slowly to the southwest, the Confederates alternated harrassment with attacks in force, followed by retreat into the forests.
These Confederate attacks slowed Steele's progress and his Corps managed to move only eighty-two miles in ten days. Growing dangerously short on supplies, Steele placed all troops on half-rations and divert his force to Camden, hoping to resupplying his Corps from local granaries and mills. Steele moved into Camden on April 15 with minor resistance to discover that the rebels had destroyed all the steam gristmills near Camden except Britton's Mill a few miles south of town, Steele ordered the 36th Iowa to seize the mill. After the capture the men of the 36th spent several days protecting the mill and grinding corn meal for the army.
Steele sent scouts foraging for other sources of grain and food, and word soon reached his headquarters that a large cache of corn had been discovered northwest of Camden near Poison Springs. On April 17, Steele ordered the 1st Kansas Infantry (Colored), elements of three Kansas cavalry regiments, a section of light artillery, and 198 wagons to collect the grain. The next day as the loaded federal wagons were returning to Camden, the escort was ambushed, cut-off and virtually wiped out. Union forces suffered more than 300 casualties, including 204 wounded. True to the threats of the Confederate Government and President Jefferson Davis, black troops received no quarter in this battle. Most of the enlisted men of the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry were murdered after they had already surrendered.
Gen. Steele meanwhile received news that Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks' Union force was now in full retreat along the Red River in Louisiana. The implication was obvious—with Banks withdrawing rapidly, Gen. Kirby Smith could turn the full force of his Confederate Army northward to attack Steele's smaller 7th Corps as it lay completely cut off from supplies and reinforcements miles inside the snake-infested swamps and pine forests of southern Arkansas. Faced with a difficult choice Gen. Steele knew that he would have to fight his way out of Camden to re-occupy Little Rock or face starvation and annihilation by the Confederates. Steele chose to save his army, yet the odds were completely against him.
Steele's Corps consisted of less than 20,000 battle-hardened veterans, and they were now down to just half-rations of hard tack, quarter-rations of salt-pork and coffee. The disaster at Poison Springs had cost him nearly 200 supply wagons and their mules, exacerbating further resupply and foraging efforts. To make matters worse, after the defeat of Gen. Nathaniel Banks on the Red River, Confederate commander E. Kirby Smith was moving rapidly into Arkansas, bringing additional infantry regiments with him from Louisiana and raising more recruits along the way. Gen. Smith had some of the finest Confederate general officers serving under him including the talented Sterling "Pap" Price, John Marmaduke, Samuel Maxey, and cavalry commander James Fagan with his two aggressive division commanders—Joe Shelby and William Cabell.
With supplies dangerously short, Gen. Steele ordered Lt. Colonel Francis Drake, commanding the 36th Iowa, to take temporary command of the 2nd Brigade to escort his remaining wagons back to Pine Bluff. There, Col. Drake was to refill the wagons and escort the train back to Camden.
This critical supply train was heavily escorted by the 36th Iowa, Major A. H. Hamilton in temporary command, the 1st Indiana Cavalry and elements of the 5th Missouri Cavalry, 43rd Indiana Infantry, 77th Ohio Infantry, and a four-gun light battery from Captain Peetz's 2nd Missouri Light Artillery. The 1st Iowa Cavalry, that had served its three year term and was on its way home for furlough and re-enlistment, was ordered to catch up with Drake's train. The brigade also included a section of 75 civilian black laborers whose job it was to move ahead of the train, felling trees and laying them down to build corduroy roads over the muddy, difficult route.
The train with its escort left Camden on Friday, April 22, and Col. Drake found that an additional 50–75 civilian wagons carrying teamsters, sutlers, cotton speculators, about 300 Negro refugees and other assorted camp followers had joined the expedition. Due to very muddy road conditions, progress was slow and according to Capt. Swiggett, the column was harassed by rebel skirmishers and snipers throughout Saturday and Sunday. By mid-afternoon Sunday, Drake's column had reached the western approach to the Moro River, a large creek that habitually went out of its banks in a wide swath during spring rains. Swiggett noted that, while no surface water could be discerned in the Moro Bottom, the ground was so saturated by the recent rains that anyone attempting to cross it would become buried deep in mud.
Gen. Steele had ordered Col. Drake not to attempt to cross the Moro Bottom after dark, and additionally the civilian teamsters were raising trouble about the rigors of the pace, according to Swiggett. Rather than proceed, therefore, Drake halted the column on the west bank of the Moro Bottom. Captain Swiggett later noted in his memoirs that the column halted long before nightfall and in fact had gone into camp on the west bank at 2 pm Sunday. Captain Swiggett believed that, had Drake exhibited more backbone by insisting on moving across Moro Bottom Sunday afternoon, the entire train could have crossed safely before nightfall, would have been well on its way to Pine Bluff, and would have avoided the tragedy to come.
In addition, Swiggett noted that there was a strong sense of gloom and foreboding in the federal camp as they lay there immobile on Sunday afternoon. As it was, Drake posted cavalry squads of 25 troopers each two miles to his front and 5 miles to his rear on Sunday, with orders for them to scout all roads for five miles in all directions at daybreak on Monday.

Remembering Our Civil War Heritage and Heroes:
Captain Samuel A. Swiggett: From a Civil War Prison
To the Montana Legislature [Part 2]
By Ken Robison
For The River Press
This continues a monthly series commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War and the veterans that came to Montana after the war. This issue features the second of two parts highlighting the adventures of Captain Samuel A. Swiggett who survived a Confederate prisoner of war camp to be elected to the Montana Legislature. Descendants of Montana Civil War veterans are encouraged to send their stories and photos to email@example.com.
In Part 1, Samuel A. Swiggett joined the 36th Iowa Infantry Regiment in 1862 and fought in the important Civil War Battles of Helena and Little Rock, Arkansas. This concludes his story with the drastic defeat and capture of Capt. Swiggett and most of his regiment, his later freedom at the end of the Civil War, and his later sterling career in Montana. Part 1 ended with the 36th Iowa with other Union forces escorting a criticial Union resupply wagon train through dangerous territory in Arkansas.
Sunday night passed without incident and, having received no reports of the enemy from his scouts on Monday morning, Col. Drake ordered the march resumed. The 43rd Indiana was deployed to lead the way, with the 36th Iowa marching on the flank of the wagons. Drake ordered the 77th Ohio to form the rear-guard and that regiment lagged almost three miles to the rear. As the column slowly crossed Moro Bottom and headed to higher ground, federal scouts informed Colonel Norris in command of the 43rd Indiana that they had discovered signs of large, hastily abandoned cavalry encampments to their immediate front. Norris sent that report back to Drake, who dismissed it rather curtly and sent forward orders for the 43rd to pick up the pace. A short distance further, in a clearing at a fork in the road occupied by a few log cabins, the 43rd Indiana was fired on by dismounted rebel cavalry from Maj. Gen. Fagan's command. Fagan had evaded Union scouts the previous night by crossing the Ouachita River below Camden and making a 52-mile forced march to get into position ahead of Drake's train. That morning they were lying in ambush near the crossroad clearing, known locally as Mark's Mills.
Forming line of battle, the 43rd Indiana charged Fagan's dismounted cavalry. As the charge commenced, Confederate Brig. Gen. William Cabell's mounted cavalry revealed itself from concealed positions in the trees on the south, or right flank. What began as a skirmish at around 8:30 am quickly developed into a very hot firefight with the federals firing in two directions to beat off the assault. The veteran Indiana and Iowa infantry supported by artillery were holding their own concentrating on the rebels to their front and right flank.
At this moment Brig. Gen. Joe Shelby's cavalry brigade charged them from the left flank. Three companies of the 36th Iowa, the entire 43rd Indiana and an artillery battery were now pressed on three sides and were in danger of being encircled. Col. Drake ordered the remainder of the 36th Iowa Infantry, still positioned near the wagons, to charge into Cabell's troopers on the right to push them back, prevent encirclement and attempt a link-up with the 77th Ohio, which was now moving forward to join the battle. Before this charge could be accomplished however, the rebels closed the trap. As the federal troops were surrounded, it quickly became a confused entanglement of small units fighting small units and then it became, according to Capt. Swiggett, "Every man for himself."
The federals fought bravely but were now surrounded and receiving fire from all sides. The ferocious fighting lasted five hours. Some of the 36th Iowa took cover in the log cabins and kept up a deadly fire, holding out from those protected positions until long after the others had surrendered, and until they exhausted their ammunition. When the rebels threatened to burn the cabins down, the Iowans surrendered. According to Captain Swiggett, when capture became certain, most of the Iowa men smashed their rifles against trees rather than hand them over to their captors.
As the men of the 36th and 43rd Indiana were being rounded up and disarmed, a last-ditch effort to break the Confederate lines by some brave federal cavalrymen created enough confusion and diversion for some of the Iowa soldiers to bolt. Several disappeared into the nearby woods and a few headed to the rear to warn the 77th Ohio of the overwhelming size of the enemy force to the front. Reaching the 77th a mile to the rear, the 36th Iowa men were accused of being deserters and their report was not believed. The Commanding Officer of the 77th ordered his regiment forward at the double quick into the melee and soon that regiment was also overwhelmed by the three rebel cavalry divisions and surrendered.
By 3 pm on 25 April, 1864 the 36th Iowa Infantry had ceased to exist. Capt. Swiggett's Company B had suffered 73 killed and wounded. Capt. Swiggett and 35 of his men were captured, and the Rebels robbed most of them of their possessions and even their clothes. The event of that fateful day that most disturbed Swiggett involved the flag. He wrote:
"We were quietly standing there, awaiting the final [prisoner] count, when we suddenly caught sight of an approaching body of rebels bearing a lot of captured flags, among which I recognized our own, all torn and disfigured as it was, the very scars enabling the recognition.
"We can talk lightly of a flag as being only a distinguishing mark or emblem, but its true emblematic character is not realized until some occasion arises to impress upon us what is meant by the flag of our county.
"When my gaze rested upon that shot-torn flag all the memories of its associations flashed through my mind in an instant, as well as the full realization of what its possession would mean to us and what its absence signified. Words cannot express my feelings. I looked around me for a moment, and meeting the eye of one of our men looking at me, his countenance twitching and his eyes filled with tears, I broke down completely and sobbed like a child for a few minutes.
"O ye men, who have only looked upon our country's flag as a pretty emblem! You, who only think of it as a necessary distinguishing mark among nations! And the many who never think of it as anything except a piece of bunting! Be ye once in a position where inability to possess that strip of colored fabric means privation, loss of liberty, separation from home and friends, possibly death, and you will then realize what it means to you as no language can depict!"
The prisoners were marched over 1,700 miles, and confined in thirteen jails and prisons along the way in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Finally, they were imprisoned at Camp Ford, Tyler, Texas. Over the next year, many of the prisoners died of malnutrition and disease. In her diary, young Louisiana refugee Kate Stone noted the deaths of some Yankee prisoners "which is not strange as they are so dreadfully crowded and have the roughest fare. But we cannot help them. They should have stayed in their own bountiful country instead of coming down here to kill and destroy."
Among the 4-5,000 prisoners at Camp Ford, the favorite pastime was planning escapes. From tunnels to clever ruses, the prisoners tried every tactic imaginable. Tunnel escapes often proved abortive events with early discovery or construction miscalculations ending the tunnel short of its goal. In one case some 50 prisoners escaped though most were recaptured with a few days. It was a long way to Union lines from Tyler, Texas through rebel territory.
Capt. Swiggett twice made his escape, once succeeding in getting 150 miles from the prison before he was recaptured. On his second escape, he ranged 250 miles from Camp Ford, but again was recaptured. In both his escapes, black slaves defied the Confederates by giving aid and directions to Capt. Swiggett and other Union escapees.
In his first escape attempt in August, 1864 Capt. Swiggett with five other officers of the 36th Iowa, bribed the guards and made their escape. They traveled by night, remained hidden in the woods during the day, and in this way succeeded in covering a distance of 110 miles; but when they reached the vicinity of Boston, Texas, they were recaptured and were marched back to Tyler. When taken, most of the men were exhausted from exposure and want of food, and the return to Tyler was made under great hardship. They were returned to the stockade at Camp Ford in late September. On the 23d of December, Captain Swiggett, with two officers of the 120th Ohio Infantry, made a second attempt to escape, and after traveling twenty-one nights they reached the Codo river, 275 miles from Tyler. Again he and the two officers who were with him were captured, this time being confined from time to time in different jails and finally landed in the stockade at Shreveport before being marched back to Camp Ford
When they weren't planning escapes, the prisoners were speculating about parole exchanges. Capt. Swiggett observed:
"Exchanges at this time were considerably delayed by the trouble which resulted from the paroles given to the large number of prisoners at Vicksburg. These men were tired of fighting, had no desire to serve the Confederacy again, and not only refrained from again carrying arms against the United States, until regularly exchanged, but sought to avoid doing it at all by keeping out of the way of exchange."
Capt. Swiggett's regiment was being exchanged in early 1865 in Shreveport at the time of his second escape attempt. Because of his two escapes Swggett was not allowed to go to freedom with his men. In fact, Capt. Swiggett was the last Yankee prisoner to leave Camp Ford's stockade on May 22, 1865.
With his release, on board a Rebel transport boat enroute return to the Union fleet, Capt. Swiggett talked with the Confederate prisoner exchange commissioner. In his conversation with the commissioner, Colonel Samansky, who was a Pole who had risen to Colonel in the Confederate army, Swiggett was asked how he had been treated as a prisoner. He replied:
"The only complaint that I could consistently make against those having me in charge was that I had not been exchanged with my regiment. I claimed to him that I had been of more service to the Union as a prisoner than I could have been if I had remained in the service, as I had kept, on an average, two men busy watching me ever since I had been captured.
Capt. Swiggett continued to describe his release:
"At the mouth of the Red River we met some Federal boats coming up with Confederate prisoners. [The prisoners were exchanged at that time so Swiggett was back in Union hands.] One notable feature of this occasion was the fact remarked by everyone that you could tell a Yankee from a rebel as far as you could see him, even without his clothes. The reason for this was that our confinement in the open air had caused us to be burned brown by the sun, even through our clothing, while the rebels were white from confinement within walls."
Capt. Swiggett and the other released prisoners were taken down to New Orleans and housed there ten days in a cotton press. From the time of his capture to his arrival in New Orleans he had only once been able to get word through to his wife so he promptly wrote to her. He heard later that she had learned of his condition through an earlier escaped prisoner. On the way back to Benton Barracks, St. Louis Swiggett learned that his reconstituted 36th Iowa Infantry Regiment was at Duval's Bluff on guard duty. After a great reception with his 36th Iowa and being mustered out, Swiggett proceeded home to Iowa.
Throughout his ordeal Capt. Swiggett remained positive about the future. As he observed, "My natural disposition being to see the bright side only, the hardships of which I had to tell were made to have another aspect than the usual one presented of prison life." He continued:
"There were cases of personal ill treatment which came under my notice, but they were the great exceptions, and, as a rule, the rebels of my acquaintance did for their prisoners all that was possible with the means in their power and treated them as well as prisoners could expect to be treated.
"The war is over. Our foes had neither our resources nor our advantages in its prosecution, and many things that were easy for us were impossible for them . . . Incidents by the thousand of heroic, heart-touching actions performed for humanity's sake during our war by those on one side for those on the other reflect as much credit upon rebels as upon Yankees, and I have always felt that, on the whole, our antagonists did the best they could for their prisoners."
Returning to his family in Iowa, Swiggett was elected sheriff of Wapello County in 1869, remaining in office until 1874. In 1887 he caught Montana mining fever and moved west to settle at Clancy, Jefferson County. He bought an interest in a quartz mine and engaged in mining. Although he'd been a resident for just one year, he attended the Jefferson County Republican convention. There were sixty-two members in the convention, only two of whom he knew; nevertheless, he was nominated on the Legislative ticket. That fall he was elected to the 16th and last Territorial House of Representatives, and from January to March 1889 he served on the important committee on mines and minerals.
Capt. Swiggett continued mining until 1890, when he was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison as register of the United States Land Office at Helena. In March 1894, Republican Gov. John E. Rickards named Swiggett as register of the newly created State Land Office. He served just two years before Democratic Gov. Robert B. Smith removed him because of Swiggett's opposition to free silver. In 1896 the Merchants & Miners National Bank of Philipsburg failed. Capt. Swiggett was appointed receiver and within twelve months had skillfully paid all creditors 100 cents on the dollar.
Mrs. Eliza Swiggett died in 1894 and a year later Capt. Swiggett married Mrs. Florence (Grabill) Kelly. A lifelong Republican, Swiggett cast his first vote for the first Republican presidential candidate John C. Fremont in 1856. Capt. Swiggett was a prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic. In August 1898, he was appointed United States deputy collector of customs based in Great Falls, and he remained in office until his death on July 22, 1904 in Helena. Fellow Civil War veterans Colonel Wilbur Fisk Sanders (Union) and Shirley C. Ashby (Confederate) served as honorary pallbearers. Old soldier, prison survivor, and eternal optimist, Captain Samuel A. Swiggett rests today with his first wife in Ottumwa Cemetery, Wapello County, Iowa.

Lorenzo Bertagnolio's opinion on the current retail world
Lorenzo Bertagnolo shares about his interest in Chatbots,and comments on Tacobot, the last Taco Bell's initiative based on this very technology.
In the latest sign that chatbot-enabled mcommerce is quickly ramping up, Taco Bell is testing a new Slack interface, called TacoBot, that enables users to order food directly within the messaging platform. Read more
I found this article very interesting because it is one of the first commercial developments lined to the revolution that is happening on chat platforms, chatbots .
Instant messaging are in the process of transforming in super- platforms where conversational robots help achieve any task with a major impact on trade for the future.
Bots strated a week ago on Facebook Messenger and Facebook Mark Zuckerberg , launching this new feature, said " It should be as easy to interact with a company than with a friend."
It seems clear that chat apps will become the new browsers and bots will be the new websites. Some do not hesitate to affirm that this is the beginning of a new Internet .
A fascinating subject that we must follow closely. Lorenzo Bertagnolio

My name is Matthew, and have you ever heard of the Night Angel? I hadn't until a few days ago. I was bored out of my mind, so I thought I'll get on Chatroulette, there is always some funny shit going on in there. So I got on it, at first it was the typical bullshit a bunch of dumbasses jerking off, then I came across one that had a very hot chick in it, she was painting, and giving instructions on how to be a better painter, I was just about to start talking to her when my screen went black, and few seconds later it came back on.
All the chat windows were fuzzy and there was an error message on them. I started flipping through them looking for anyone who was on, finally I found someone, he was sitting in the dark, all I could see was his out line, there was a little light in the background that lit up the room a little bit, but I had to struggle to make out what was in his room so I didn't try to.
I said, "Hi" no answer, "Hello!" I said this, in a slightly pissed off manner, then the man spoke, in a staticky, deep, unnatural voice, "Hi, Hello!"
Me: Oh so you can talk, for moment there I thought you were a mute.
Him: No... not a mute, just quiet.
Me: Oh, I like your screen name TheNightAngel, pretty cool.
Him: No... no screen name, my name.
Me: O-ok, so what you on here for man?
Him: I was bored out of my mind, so I thought I'll get on Chatroulette, there is always some funny shit going on in there.
Me: Oooooooo man that is wicked creepy, that is exactly what I thought.
Him: Ah, ah, ah, well you know what is said, great minds think alike.
Me: Damn right they do ahahahah. So where are you from?
Him: Nowhere, and everywhere, I have always been, and always will be.
Me: Ahahahah, man what shit are you smoking?!
Him: Don't talk to me like that.
Me: Hey man I was just joking.
Him: Hey man I was just joking.
Me: Please don't mock me.
Him: Please don't mo....
Me: Goddamn it stop it!
Him: Why? For I am you, and you are me, for one to be silent the other must be.
This creeped me out, what the hell was wrong with this guy, who was he, were was he from. And then I saw it, on the wall behind him I saw my Walking Dead poster, my book self, my wallpaper, and my bed the son of a bitch was in my room. But he couldn't be, he was sitting right were I was, there was something off about my room as well everything was backwords, as if I was looking in a mirror. He started to lean in so the light would illuminate his face, the light got to his mouth, and looked all to familiar, so I shut the fucking thing off.
Later after the fear had somewhat subsided, and with great reluctance, I went to bed, I had to, I had a very important meeting in the morning.
It must have taken me three hours to get to sleep, and when I did, I dreamed I was looking in a mirror at the back of my head, but it wasn't me in the mirror, I knew that much, never the less, when it turned, its profile was of my face. I screamed and woke up. The meeting went fine, as did my day at work, until I went to the restroom to take a piss, as I was washing my hands, I looked in the mirror, and what I saw was not my reflection.
It was him, in the very same restroom I was in, only it was darker, again all I could see was his outline, and then he spoke, "I am you, and you are me, and one can never be whole till all its parts are reunited." he then began to lean into the light again. This time the light reached past his nose, again all to familiar to me, I screamed and punched the mirror shattering it. That night I had the same dream.
The dream happened many times, and I always woke up before I saw my whole face, I shuddered to think what would happen if I saw my whole face. It did seem to get harder to wake up before I saw my face, each time. Then one day at work, I heard him inside my head:
"Why do you fight me? Why do you fight yourself? I am you, and you are me. I will win, and in doing so, you shall win, as will your family and friends upon a day."
Tears built up in my eyes, then streamed down my face, I broke down, and tried to reason with him.
"Why are you doing this to me? What have I ever done to you? Take me on, if you can. But you leave my family and friends out of this sick fucking game of yours!"
There was a long pause then, "No, I am you, and you are me, and they are me, and one can not be whole till all the parts are reunited."
I have never screamed so loud and with so much anger and hate as I did then. I jumped up out of my chair and began punching my computer, then I stormed out of the office all my workmates staring at me, with upset and judging eyes. Who gives a flying fuck what they think.
When I got home from work, I felt awful, went straight to the bathroom and puked in the sink. When I was done I looked up into the mirror, I saw the back of my head. I was frozen in fear, the head started to turn, it got to the profile. Then came the rest of the way around, as I stared into my eyes, which were not my eyes, everything went quiet. Then dark, then I felt cold skinny arms around me, pulling me away, I was so scared, and yet at such peace, I hated it, but loved it. Because I knew then, what I know now, that I am him, and he is me, and he is you, and one can not be whole; till all the parts are reunited.

Call a main method from within a running program
Hi, I'm trying to find out the best way to call a main method from within a running program. Both programs are written in Java.
I've got a Java IDL server up and registered, and what I'd like to do is either call another main method (which starts a GUI) from within the server's main method or create a kind of startup method within my IDL implementation that will remotely start the GUI.
In either case, I need to know the easiest way to kick off the other main method and how I can communicate between each of the processes.

Relative Price Report
Statewide Hospital Relative Price
(February 2019)
Relative Price Methodology
(Updated May 2019)
CHIA reports annually on relative price to examine provider price variation in the Massachusetts commercial market. Relative Price (RP) facilitates comparison of average provider prices, accounting for differences in patient acuity, the types of services providers deliver to patients, and the different insurance product types that payers offer to their members.
CHIA calculates both payer-specific RP, which enables comparison within a payer's network, and cross-payer statewide relative price (S-RP), which enables comparison across commercial payers.
New for the May 2019 report, CHIA presents relative price information in a series of interactive graphics. If you are unfamiliar with using a Tableau interface, please watch this video.

This year we didn't keep anything on Christmas Eve. Long before we decided to stay at home only. Though, once we decided to Tahoe, but we abandoned our plan. So, almost we did nothing. We went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. Then we did some shopping. I bought a bagful of goodies from Bath and Bodyworks. Then after coming back I remembered that We need some gloves and hats for our forthcoming vacations. So, again we rushed back to Sports Basement. Anyway, rest of the day we decided to stay at home only. So, the Christmas Eve was almost uneventful. Actually, we did want to make it simple, just staying at home, and relaxing. I cooked a little different for the dinner, though I was not in the mood to cook anything. Though, Mr. Man suggested having dinner outside, I only denied that. We already ate out lunch. Anyway, I just cook one chicken dish, and with had chicken with fried rice.
|Salmon at California Pizza Kitchen
Here I'm giving the recipe of the chicken. I got the recipe from a recipe book, though I changed many of the ingredients, still I'm keeping the same name of the dish.
Chicken breast two pieces
One small onion
One tsp. dry thyme
Half tsp. nutmeg
Half tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
One fourth cup of flour
Two tbsp butter
One tbsp oil
One fourth cup almond
Half cup milk (I used 2% reduced fat)
One cup green grapes(I didn't have green grapes, so, I used black grapes.)

I would guess that you have both devices set to the same IP, or that your IP is changing.
Each of those three devices should have unique IP addresses. And they should all be on the same range.
So for example
Macbook 192.168.10.20
Panel 192.168.10.30
Switcher 192.168.10.40
And of course you will need to make sure teh software AND the panel point to the IP address of the switcher.
Obviously you might have a more complex problem, but I might call your dealer for help in your native language if it is helpful, of course with more information I'm happy to continue to help.

Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
Monsoon in India is warmly welcomed as it boosts agriculture. Even today over 50% of agriculture depends on monsoon rain. It is an important economic activity which not only provides livelihood to millions of farmers and workers but also contributes 15% of India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This means that when a crop fails because of too little rain, the economy suffers. On the other hand, when it rains heavily, and does not stop in time then it also brings miseries in the form of floods.
India has a vast geographic area and so it's natural for it to have distinct climatic features for the entire country. With the sudden change in the arrival of monsoon hitting Kerala or heavy rainfall in upper reaches of Himalaya the chain reaction that follows has a huge say in the lives of people of this great country.
The cover story this month is on the devastation that floods cause and the miseries it brings to the people of India. Not only is the North East region suffering from flood, but almost the entire country is in the grip of floods. Bihar is one of the biggest sufferers in the process. It is absolutely true, in the hour of crisis, government, as well as NGOs and the people, join hands together to provide relief to the people. In short term, this appears to be perfectly okay. However, the main issue here is, how we can solve this long term problem of floods which is a perennial affair in our region.
There is much talk about linking of rivers, so that the surplus water is diverted to the areas where there is less water, thereby bringing a solution to the problem of floods and drought. But, there is yet another school of thought which believes that this is not feasible. Their argument is that, waterways constructed through jungles will lead to large scale deforestation and displacement of animals, which will in turn disturb our economic system. However, I believe, the government must invest on research and proper simulation must be done in order to find out long term solution to the problems of the floods and drought.

Desirée Holman's Sophont in Action follows esoteric beings — elder Time Travelers, adult Ecstatic Dancers, and young Indigo Children — as they enact rituals across generations. Invited as witnesses, we join Guides in an unfolding ceremonial space, throughout the expanded SFMOMA building. Our procession echoes the first Sophont performance on June 2, 2013, when Holman's characters led audiences outside of the Mario Botta-designed SFMOMA building and asked those gathered to "Look Up. Imagine More." At that time, the command seemed directed at the museum itself, invoking our current moment with its new architecture standing overhead. In this time, in this action, Sophont in Action's inhabitants call to the future, one whose object might now be bigger, more personal, political, and as ever present-tense as before. Our movement together occurs in silence.
— Frank Smigiel, associate curator, performance and film
Desirée Holman's Sophont in Action was commissioned by SFMOMA as a part of Performance in Progress.

All Issues
Volume 56, № 10, 2004
Classical Solvability of the First Initial Boundary-Value Problem for a Nonlinear Strongly Degenerate Parabolic Equation
Bazalii B. V., Krasnoshchok M. V.
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1299-1320
We prove the existence of a classical solution global in time for the first initial boundary-value problem for a nonlinear strongly degenerate parabolic equation.
Stability of Solutions of a Quasilinear Index-2 Tractable Differential Algebraic Equation by the Lyapunov Second Method
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1321-1334
The Lyapunov second method is an important tool in the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations. In this paper, we consider the behavior of solutions of quasilinear index-2 tractable differential algebraic equations. Using the Lyapunov second method, we prove sufficient conditions for the stability of zero solution of such equations.
Hopficity and Co-Hopficity in Soluble Groups
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1335-1341
We show that a soluble group satisfying the minimal condition for its normal subgroups is co-hopfian and that a torsion-free finitely generated soluble group of finite rank is hopfian. The latter property is a consequence of a stronger result: in a minimax soluble group, the kernel of an endomorphism is finite if and only if its image is of finite index in the group.
On the Skitovich-Darmois Theorem on Abelian Groups
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1342 – 1356
We prove theorems that generalize the Skitovich-Darmois theorem to the case where independent random variables ξj, j = 1, 2, ..., n, n ≥ 2, take values in a locally compact Abelian group and the coefficients αj and βj of the linear forms L 1 = α1ξ1 + ... + αnξn and L 2 = β1ξ1 + ... + βnξn are automorphisms of this group.
Separately Continuous Functions on Products and Their Dependence on ℵ Coordinates
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1357-1369
We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions on topological products X = ∏s ∈ s X s and Y = ∏t ∈ T Y t for every separately continuous function f: X × Y → ℝ to be dependent on at most ℵ coordinates with respect to a certain coordinate.
A Higher-Dimensional Version of the Brody Reparametrization Lemma
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1369-1377
We prove a generalization of the Brody reparametrization lemma.
Best Approximations of $q$-Ellipsoids in Spaces $S_{ϕ}^{p,μ}$
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1378-1383
We find exact values of the best approximations and basic widths of $q$-ellipsoids in the spaces $S_{ϕ}^{p,μ}$ for $q > p > 0$.
Approximate Averaged Synthesis of the Problem of Optimal Control for a Parabolic Equation
Kapustyan O. A., Sukretna A. V.
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1384–1394
For a problem of optimal control for a parabolic equation, in the case of bounded control, we construct and justify an approximate averaged control in the form of feedback.
Diffusive Lotka-Volterra System: Lie Symmetries and Exact and Numerical Solutions
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1395-1404
We present a complete description of Lie symmetries for the nonlinear diffusive Lotka-Volterra system. The results are used for the construction of exact solutions of the Lotka-Volterra system, which, in turn, are used for solving the corresponding nonlinear boundary-value problems with zero Neumann conditions. The analytic results are compared with the results of computation based on the finite-element method. We conclude that the obtained exact solutions play an important role in solving Neumann boundary-value problems for the Lotka-Volterra system.
On Exponential Sums Related to the Circle Problem
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1405-1418
Let r(n) count the number of representations of a positive integer n as a sum of two integer squares. We prove a truncated Voronoi-type formula for the twisted Mobius transform $$\mathop \sum \limits_{n \leqslant x} \;\,r(n)\;\exp \left( {2\pi i\frac{{nk}}{{4l}}} \right),$$ where k and l are positive integers such that k and 4l are coprime, and give some applications (almost periodicity, limit distribution, an asymptotic mean-square formula, and O- and Ω-estimates for the error term).
Groups with Few Nonmodular Subgroups
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1419-1423
Let G be a Tarski-free group such that the join of all nonmodular subgroups of G is a proper subgroup in G. It is proved that G contains a finite normal subgroup N such that the quotient group G/N has a modular subgroup lattice.
On Cubic Operators Defined on Finite-Dimensional Simplexes
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1424-1433
We introduce the concept of cubic operator. For one class of cubic operators defined on finite-dimensional simplexes, a complete description of the behavior of their trajectories is given. The convergence of Cesaro means is established.
On Generalized Hardy Sums $s_5(h, k)$
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2004. - 56, № 10. - pp. 1434–1440
The aim of this paper is to study generalized Hardy sums $s_5(h, k)$. By using mediants and the adjacent difference of Farey fractions, we establish a relationship between $s_5(h, k)$ and Farey fractions. Using generalized Dedekind sums and a generalized periodic Bernoulli function, we define generalized Hardy sums $s_5(h, k)$. A relationship between $s_5(h, k)$ and the Hurwitz zeta function is established. By using the definitions of Lambert series and cotπz, we establish a relationship between $s_5(h, k)$ and Lambert series.
