DFCC gets €20m loan to promote alternate energy, SME
DFCC Bank has been granted a long term loan of €20 million by Proparco, a subsidiary of Agence Française de Développement (AFD), to promote alternate energy and the small and medium enterprises sector.
This organisation is devoted to private sector financing, to finance renewable energy projects and improve access to credit for SMEs in Sri Lanka, a statement said.
"We are pleased to partner with DFCC Bank to strengthen the SME sector in Sri Lanka. SMEs account for 70% of all businesses, employ 26% of the active population and contribute 52% of GDP, which makes them a critical growth engine in the island," Grégory Clemente, CEO of Proparco said.
"We believe that strengthening this sector represents a key growth opportunity, in line with the vision of the Sri Lankan Government which recently stressed the major role of banks in SME finance. DFCC will be able to use this €20 million loan to boost the proportion of SMEs in its portfolio - which already stands at nearly 50%. We are also pleased to support a Bank that is already active in financing renewable energy."
DFCC CEO, Arjun Fernando further added, "DFCC Bank is a pioneer in supporting renewable energy projects, having supported the first hydro project in 1996."
"The Bank also adds significant value by offering entrepreneurship training programmes and other technical and marketing support to SMEs. Long-term finance of this magnitude is difficult to obtain in the domestic market, and we believe the credit line by Proparco will empower us to propel the SME sector to the next stage of development."
DFCC Bank financed Sri Lanka's first hydro power project back in 1996, the country's first wind farm in 2010 and its first solar power plant in 2015.
The bank currently provides funding for 70 hydro power projects, three wind farms and two solar energy projects as well as a biomass project.

Dwight Klappich / January 14, 2021
Home > Insights > The State of the Digital Supply Chain in 2021
Dwight Klappich 2021-01-14
Welcome to 2021! Walt Disney once said, "I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter." This would be good advice for executives as they develop their digital supply chain strategies. While being optimistic is good, being realistic is prudent.
"Digital" remains a strategic imperative for most supply chain organizations. Each year, Gartner conducts a Supply Chain Technology User Wants and Needs Survey that explores supply chain organizations' IT and digital investment strategies and the impact these have on supply chain management business users. (This year's study is in progress and results are not yet available, but we anticipate similar findings).
In last year's study, "digital" was identified as a core strategy and investment focal point as supply chain organizations look to advance their supply chain maturity and business performance. Over 45% of respondents were senior supply chain leaders and the rest were operational managers including vice presidents, directors and managers.
Comparing the responses of senior leaders with those of front-line, mid-level respondents, we observed an interesting dichotomy. Throughout the survey, senior leaders had an overly optimistic view of their organization's capabilities and commitments to supply chain IT. This inflated exuberance likely causes companies to overstate their real abilities, which could negatively impact performance.
For example, Figure 1 asks respondents to select which statement most closely describes the current state of their organization's digital supply chain initiatives. Respondents chose between: "We struggle to fully understand and define how digital supply chain will affect our business and what investments we will need to make to be successful" and "We have a clear vision, plan and roadmap driving our digital initiatives." An unbelievable 97% of C-suite respondents chose the second option. Even more surprising is how strong this sentiment was, with 66% saying they have moderate to very strong digital competencies. This, however, is not supported by Gartner client inquiries where many customers say they struggle to develop their digital strategies and roadmaps. This suggests that respondents overestimated their abilities.
While still optimistic, only 81% of operational-manager respondents — a 16 percentage-point drop — felt they had strong digital strategies and competencies. Operational managers who felt they had moderate to high competency dropped from 66% to 41% when compared to C-suite respondents. This misalignment can cause many issues for organizations, including frustrations due to differing views of reality, unrealistic expectations and misallocation of resources.
Exploiting emerging technologies is a key way to advance a company's supply chain digital maturity. Promising supply chain management technologies can help transform a company's operations. To explore this, the study asked respondents to rate the importance of, and their investment plans for 10 emerging technologies.
The data again found a disconnect. Figures 3 and 4 explore how respondents rate the importance of key emerging supply chain technologies and where they are investing or planning to invest. Figure 3, which indicates the responses for C-level supply chain executives, shows a dense clustering across all the emerging technologies. This indicates that in their minds, these technologies are all equally important and they are investing in all of these without prioritizing. This is unrealistic, and unsupported by anecdotal evidence from Gartner client interactions that find that companies selectively invest in a small number of emerging technologies that offer the greatest near-term business value.
Figure 4 shows the responses for all respondents, excluding the C-suite. It shows a more realistic distribution of responses, with some more mature emerging technologies showing the most investment and the greatest importance, and the remaining technologies scattered more evenly. This is realistic and supported by anecdotal evidence from Gartner client interactions.
While digital will remain critical to supply chain success, the survey highlights the disconnect between senior executives' digital ambitions and beliefs about their organization, and the realistic capabilities and investments of their organization to meet these lofty expectations. No one is served if these two perceptions are not reconciled.
Senior supply chain leaders often fall into the trap of setting overly lofty goals but they must recognize that their organization can't do everything at once. Instead, educate yourself on what individual technologies can do for your supply chain and then work with your organization, at all levels, to realistically map out current and desired capabilities. Then do a value assessment to help prioritize where to best invest your limited IT capital — money, talent and time. Do not expect to pursue 10 or even five emerging technologies in earnest. Pick a few key areas for firm investments with expected outcomes. Consider experimentation at the fringe, it is OK to test the waters with new technologies, even when you are not ready for big investments. In these cases it's best to run proof of concepts, but not put too much capital at risk until strategies are solidified and the solutions fully understood. While some projects might not have a clear short-term ROI, it can still be valuable to develop skills and competencies in certain areas. Emerging technologies is a long-term game.
Mid-level operational managers owe it to senior leaders to distinguish between what is real and what is possible. They must communicate up to ensure that senior leaders are clear and buy into where you are investing, and why and where you are not. Shadow projects might be misinterpreted as further along than they are — leaving the perception that the company is more vested in a technology than it really is. Disconnect some emerging technologies from the hype and explain to leadership why you will or will not pursue these.
Be optimistic, but also be realistic. Making sure that senior leaders and mid-level operational managers are in sync will go a long way to ensuring digital success.

It's been a while since I added something new to the Sequences page, but I've just done exactly that, and just in time for the Christmas season. It's "Angels We Have Heard On High," a short set of haiku that first appeared in Frogpond back in 1995. Two additional winter poems tag along for the ride. But wait, there's more. One of the two additional poems won second prize in the 1995 Henderson haiku awards, sponsored by the Haiku Society of America. On the Interviews page (because that's where it seems to fit best) is a link to "Toll Booth Lit for Christmas," complete with brief commentary by the contest's two judges. Enjoy!

SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile Internet, today launched Light Cloud solution in conjunction with Intel at 5G Summit of Mobile World Congress 2019. Light Cloud solution introduces a viable path to the transformation of access network.
Light Cloud is an NFVI solution that employs lightweight blade servers equipped with Intel® Xeon® D processors. By embedding the blade servers in an OLT or BRAS device and thus turning the device into a lightweight cloud infrastructure, the solution can significantly reduce equipment footprint and construction cost.
Moreover, it enables computing and storage capabilities to be loaded onto telecom access equipment, thereby allowing the deployment and distribution of experience-sensitive services.
With cloud functions moved to the access layer by the built-in blade servers, the solution can carry a wide range of cloud applications and services, including MEC, access CDN, vSTB and vCPE, improving the customer satisfaction with experience-sensitive services.
In addition, the lightweight cloud infrastructure features open capabilities, allowing operators to use it by themselves or rent it out. Therefore, the infrastructure can be used to provide the access network with new capabilities.
Light Cloud solution has been implemented in ZTE's flagship optical access platform, TITAN. On Feb 25, the first day of MWC 2019, ZTE and Intel demonstrated sports videos through a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) cloud powered by TITAN's Light Cloud solution.
"ZTE, in collaboration with Intel, provides innovation in key technologies of Light Cloud solution, including image processing, service acceleration, AI learning, big data, encoding and decoding, as well as intelligent network cards," said Fang Hui, Vice President of ZTE.
With the technical expertise and innovation in the field of optical access, ZTE ranks first among 10G PON suppliers, and ranks second among CPE providers and optical access vendors in terms of global market share. ZTE's flagship optical access platform, TITAN, has been widely adopted in China, Italy, Brazil and Mexico.
In addition to Light Cloud solution, ZTE and Intel also jointly released a white paper of built-in blade in OLT on February 18, 2019.

Q: Data Retrieving from XML file with some limitation in Java I am using XML in my project for data to be Insert/Update/Delete.
Currently i am using XPath for doing the above operations from my Java application.
I am facing a problem while retrieving the data from XML. If there are 1000 records in the XML file i want to get the data from XML file with some limit (same as limit in a MySQL select query) in the rows, for implementing the pagination in the view page. I want to display 100 records at a time, so that end-user can click on next button to see all the 1000 records.
Can anyone tell me the best way to full-fill this requirement?

Ya, we can do it with "position()" function but the problem is i want to get the data in an sorted order. position() will return the data from the XML file respective to the given number(in XML file the data may not be in an order). So i want to read the data along with order. I am not able to find the XML query for Sorting and Paginated data in XPath.

A: You can consider using JAXB instead of direct XML manipulation.

A: As you are using XPath to access your XML data, one possibility could be the position() function to get "paginated" data from the XML. Like:
/path/to/some/element[position() >= 100 and position() <= 200]
Of course you have to store the boundaries (e.g. 100 - 200 as an example)  then between user requests.
Ok, if you need sorted output aswell... as far as I know there is no sort function in pure xpath (1.0/2.0). Maybe you are using a library that offers this as an extension. Or you maybe have the possibility to use an XSLT and xsl:sort. Or you use XML binding as written in the other answer.

The film 'Lost in Translation' was filmed at the Park Hyatt and this is the most internationally famous hotel in Japan. Located in Shinjuku, a modern and bustling area which is also one of the main transport hubs for the whole of Tokyo.
The city views from all windows are incredible and on a day with good visibility you can just about see Mt Fuji in the distance. We were impressed by the swimming pool in the 'Club on the Park' fitness centre. The views match the environment to create a sense of space and relaxation.
A variety of activities are available at the Park Hyatt, from fitness programmes, gentle relaxation options in the spa to bicycle hire to see the city from a different perspective. The 'New York Grill' offers great views of Tokyo and has an open kitchen layout so you can admire the chefs at work. The other restaurants and bars also offer delicious food and cocktails made with care and attention to detail. The New York Bar has a suitably jazzy atmosphere and offers an 'Unplugged' live Jazz event every Sunday evening featuring local artists.
The guestrooms are generously sized for Japan and all offer great views, comfortable beds and deep baths with separate showers. The amenities provide all the necessary comforts to make your stay enjoyable and there is a 24- hour concierge should you need anything.
The Park Hyatt has a slightly unusual layout, as the front desk is on the 49th floor requiring a lift from the arrival lobby on the ground floor and there are a number of different 'top floors' in different sections within the tower requiring different lifts to get to them. A good sense of direction would not go amiss when navigating your hotel, but the staff are incredibly helpful, speak good English and are very professional, so you won't worry about getting lost.

Dry Needling Becomes the New Homeopathy
By Dr John Quintner
About homeopathy
John Quintner
Samuel Hahnemann [1755-1843] was the originator of homeopathy, a system of medical treatment devised under the principle summed up by the phrase, "like is cured by like" (Hahnemann 1796). Drugs which when given to healthy persons cause certain specific symptoms are to be given to patients when they present to their doctors with the very same symptoms.
Hahnemann argued that only infinitesimally small doses were needed because the disease produced an "abnormal sensitiveness" to the given drug, provided that the correct remedy had been chosen. Another principle was that a second dose should not be given until the first had ceased to act.
When homeopathy was introduced it became popular in the 19th century and probably served a useful purpose in checking the dangerously excessive drugging, bloodletting, purging, and induced vomiting that were then prevalent in conventional medical practice (Guthrie 1945; Ackerknecht, 1968).
The dogmatism of Hahnemann's system separated it from the mainstream of scientific development (Ackerknecht, 1968) but its survival as a cult with a relatively small following suggests that it may still, at least partially, fulfil the role of alternative medicine (Relton et al. 2017).
Dry needling for musculoskeletal pain
The technique of "dry needling" so-called myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) (Simons et al. 1999) became popular with physical therapists during the 1990s and has remained so to this day (Dunning et al. 2014).
Remarkably, the practice is based upon the same principle as that devised by Hahnemann – "like is cured by like".
In this case, the "disease" being treated is "myofascial pain" localised to a trigger point (TrP) within voluntary muscle or other soft tissues. Those who believe that this is true postulate the existence of a lesion caused by "direct trauma or overuse" (Martín-Pintado-Zugasti et al. 2018).
The recommended therapy for "myofascial pain" is to insert a needle directly into the muscle where the TrP is thought to reside. However, post-injection pain is not uncommon and is caused by "tissue injury produced by the needle and the following inflammatory reaction" (Martín-Pintado-Zugasti et al. 2018). Animal experimental studies have been confirmatory of such an injury (Domingo et al. 2013).
Some self-styled experts consider that benefit from needling can be attributed to the destruction of the allegedly dysfunctional motor endplates that produce the MTrPs, as well as the related sarcomere shortening of myocytes (the so-called "taut bands") (Dommerholt et al. 2006).
Problem of post-injection pain
Martín-Pintado-Zugasti et al. (2018) claim that post-injection pain is "fundamentally different from the pathophysiology of the MTrP itself". They base their opinion solely on the way in which some patients describe that pain as being different to their original pain. They did not consider the possibility that the original pain might have been wrongly attributed to the MTrP and that the tissue being needled did not in fact harbour a source of nociception ("tissue damage") (Quintner et al. 2015).
In healthy subjects the number of needle insertions and the pain perceived during needling is positively correlated with the intensity of post-needling soreness (Martín-Pintado-Zugasti et al. 2015). This observation suggests that there is a direct relationship between the amount of tissue damage caused by the needle and the intensity of post-needling soreness.
Karel Lewit [1916-2014], a prominent proponent of dry needling, noted that a "reactivation of pain may occur several hours later or on the following day" and that this usually lasts for 1-2 days (Lewit 1979). Simons et al. (1999) recommended that therapists wait until the soreness has resolved before repeating the procedure.
Defying logic, it has even been suggested that soreness following dry needling might be seen as a "positive sign rather than a negative experience that requires special care" (Dommerholt et al. 2015).
From the evidence reviewed above, it seems inescapable that an actual lesion is being created in muscle through dry needling in a futile attempt to heal a muscular lesion that has never been shown to exist.
In other words, Hahnemann's homeopathic principle that "like is cured by like" lives on, but now in the guise of "dry needling" – a cultish "alternative" treatment option that lies well outside the mainstream theory and practice of scientific medicine.

Earl of Sandwich is a national chain with several spots in Las Vegas, Nevada. I went to the one located within Planet Hollywood hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
This spot on the strip has about 2,500 Yelp reviews. Good grief. Since there's no Earl of Sandwich in the Pacific NW (but happens to be in many other states), it made me that much more curious to try it.
This location inside Planet Hollywood has good ambiance. Even got all the Earls of Sandwich on one of the walls. Larger portrait for the actual guy responsible for creating the sandwich. I guess we can all thank him now for being such a gambling addict.
Earl of Sandwich makes their own artisan bread, basically amounting to a buttery sandwich roll that lightly toasts in their conveyor-belt oven. Each sandwich is made and toasted to order.
I had one of the signature sandwiches: the Full Montagu ($6.49). Juicy, tender slices of meat, mustard, lettuce, and tomato. The lettuce looked a bit wilted, not sure if that was from it going through the oven. Added some Grey Poupon just for the hell of it.
Frankly, the sandwich was small for the amount paid. Merely a snack in my eyes.
There are usually a couple different types of coffee, a Kona blend and a dark roast. Good coffee here, and you can help yourself for a couple bucks.

Texas woman arrested in murder of famed bull rider
Authorities say professional bull rider Ouncie Mitchell was killed in Utah on Monday.(Bull Stock Media)
By Angela Bonilla
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KWTX) - A Texas woman has been arrested in the murder of professional bull rider Demetrius Allen in Salt Lake City, Utah on Sept. 12, 2022.
Lashawn Denise Bagley, 22, was arrested Jan. 3 by members of the Southern District of Texas U.S. Marshals Service and charged with one-count domestic-violence murder and nine-counts discharge of a firearm.
Officers with the Salt Lake City Police responded to a shooting Sept. 22 near 900 South and 200 West where they found the 27-year-old Allen suffering from a gunshot wound.
Gold Cross and Salt Lake City Fire personnel took Allen to the hospital, where he later died.
"Bagley, who lived at the apartment where the shooting took place, called 9-1-1. While on the phone with Bagley, the 9-1-1 operator heard loud noises and asked about the noises. Bagley, according to court documents, said "I'm shooting" and told the 9-1-1 operator she was out of bullets," said Salt Lake City Police.
Detectives with the Salt Lake City Police Department's Homicide Squad responded and began an investigation.
During that investigation, they learned Allen, a professional bull rider, was staying at Bagley's apartment and went back to pick up equipment worth approximately $10,000. The two had previously been in an on-again-off-again domestic relationship.
The investigation revealed Bagley shot her handgun multiple times.
Detectives believe Bagley was upset with Allen because of his interest in Bagley's friend.
In court documents seeking a no-bail hold, SLCPD detectives wrote, "the impulsiveness of the defendant's actions and her wiliness to fire a handgun at unarmed persons whom she knew and was friends with at the time, demonstrates that she is a danger to the community."
After being initially arrested, Bagley was released pursuant to the ongoing investigation.
Detectives needed to conduct additional investigative follow-up on the case. During that time, Bagley left Salt Lake City.
SLCPD detectives screened the case with the district attorney's and successfully obtained a court-authorized arrest warrant.
KTRK reports Allen, who was listed as a Fresno, Texas, native on the Professional Bull Riders website, was on the list of Top 33 bull riders in the world.
PBR recently released a statement about Allen.
"Everyone in the bull riding community was shocked and saddened with the passing of Demetrius Allen, who fans knew as Ouncie Mitchell. Ouncie was a talented cowboy and a familiar face on the PBR Velocity Tour. He also competed in the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, whose president Valeria Howard-Cunningham has shared our grief. Ouncie got his name because he was born small. He grew up to compete with a huge heart. In Ouncie's honor, PBR held a benefit event and auction supporting his daughter that was successful. We thank all of our fans who have participated and supported the Mitchell family."
Allen was set to compete in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

P-to-P payments Security risk
PayPal settles Venmo disclosure complaints with the FTC
By John Adams February 27, 2018, 2:17 p.m. EST 1 Min Read
The Federal Trade Commission and PayPal have reached a settlement over claims PayPal misled consumers about transfers.
In its original complaint, the government accused PayPal of telling users of its Venmo P-to-P transfer app that funds credited to Venmo balances could be transferred to external bank accounts without disclosing the transactions were still under review and could be frozen or removed.
The FTC also alleges Venmo misrepresented its ability to control the privacy of transactions and security protections, and violated parts of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that address safeguards and privacy.
The lack of disclosure resulted in some consumers saying they could not pay rent or other bills because they could not transfer funds in the manner that Venmo represented. Venmo delayed withdrawal of funds or reversed transactions after initially saying the funds were available.
As part of the settlement, Venmo is prohibited from misrepresenting material restrictions on the use of its service, or the control provided by privacy settings and extent of its security protections. It is also required to obtain biennial third-party assessments of Gramm-Leach-Bliley rules for the next 10 years.

This broad-spectrum public space was conceived as a functional hub for all of Nike's NYC events through the spring and summer. Built entirely from repurposed shipping containers, the design includes a tech-fitness center, interactive classrooms, retail moments, café and juice bar, a basketball tournament pavilion, integrated jogging trail, and a multistory event center.
These concepts were put forward as thought starters for Intel's upcoming CES brand presence. The space would highlight Intel's story while demonstrating at every turn the real-world possibilities of its key product's processing power. Each design incorporates several interactive game options and responsive spatial effects.
As part of a 2015 media campaign to boost its US market placement, Bacardi Rum sponsored a series of popup events around the country. The Rolling House Party's iconic facade and truck served as the gateway into an immersive brand experience. In addition to multiple DJs and lounge locations inside the event, several interactive vignettes were utilized throughout the space, supplying themed surprise moments that amplified the Bacardi brand message. The finished structure and event space was showcased in several cities around the U.S. in October-November of 2015, and hosted events for hundreds of VIP guests, brand ambassadors, and media influencers.
As the top line sponsor of Sanrio's first Hello Kitty Con, Target hoped to achieve a high-profile presence within the event that embraced the two brands' long involvement. In response we developed a character-driven interior concept rich with interactive entertainment highlighting Hello Kitty's 40th anniversary products. The activation includes unique upright video games, carnival attractions and prizes, interactive music and animation stations, and automated photo booths.
The initial request for the GE Solid Conference installation centered around a large scale interactive aviation element and the aligned program media. Given the strict height and depth limitations of the space, the two parameters were combined into a single walk-through experience. A full scale jet engine graphic was expanded dimensionally and lit to expose the machine's interior layouts. The engine cowl form creates a dynamic corridor to house the interactive media stations.
For its Hyperfeel product launch, Nike commissioned a high-profile interactive arts installation. The resulting design collaboration launched on the streets of NYC during fashion week. The exhibition was housed in a temporary structure, and visitors were invited to walk barefoot through a variety of experience-rich reactive corridors. Guests' brain functions were monitored during the exhibit and translated into digital media.
To mark the release of the Defiance pilot episode and video game launch, SYFY network commissioned the Defiance Village at SXSW in Austin and the TED Conference in Long Beach. The Austin Village housed brand influencers in functioning on-site hotel rooms, and each activation included an interactive need/want bar, a Defiance game arcade, the language Lexicon, and a concert stage.
To establish it's brand presence at the London 2012 Olympics, GE envisioned a large multifunctional space highlighting its latest technologies, as well as the company's many contributions to the games. The resulting Works Center incorporated multiple interactive showcases telling GE's brand stories. The space also hosted daily events in an executive viewing lounge/performance hall. The month-long activation included an interactive light sculpture, a public concierge station, and an animated media wrapper adapted to the facade of the 19th century architecture.
To convey the story of its contributions to park restoration around the world, the Tiffany & Co. Foundation commissioned a exterior micro-park at the 2013 TED Conference in Long Beach. The resulting design utilized all recycled materials, and provided conference guests with green space conversation seating and privacy moments.

My story is about my Grandparents, Francis and Garnet Bonn. The year was 1922, and following a lovely wedding in Portland, my Grandparents planned their honeymoon to the Oregon Coast , their trip a bumpy and long trek to the banks of the Nestucca. There they parked, picnicked, and proceeded across the river via rowboat to camp along the shore, there they spent the next 2 days, digging, and canning, by the campfire their treasure of razor clams. Later in my life, as a resident of Pacific City, I recall my grandmother telling us of their "less than glamorous" honeymoon adventure on our way down to the low tide exposed "clam diggin" spot that they had explored so many years before.

Marc Terenci Varró (; Reate,  - ) va ser un polígraf, escriptor, militar i magistrat romà, i es considera un dels erudits més grans de la història de Roma segons Quintilià.

Biografia
Varró va nàixer a Reate (actual Rieti) a la Sabínia en el si d'una família benestant i posseïdora de moltes terres en aquella mateixa ciutat. Per això és anomenat Varró Reatí. Va rebre una rígida educació romana i grans mestres l'encaminaren a l'estudi. El primer fou Luci Eli Preconi Estiló un cavaller romà expert en antiguitats que l'introdueix a la tradició estoica. També Antíoc d'Ascaló el fa entrar en contacte amb la filosofia platònica de l'Acadèmia. També rep elements cínics i pitagòrics. Així doncs, era un home de gran cultura, però es va dedicar a la política i a la vida militar, ja que per als romans això era més important i de més valor que l'erudició. Va ser qüestor al voltant del 86 aC, cap al 70 aC va ser tribú de la plebs, el 68 aC pretor i el 59 aC està entre els vigintiviri, igual que Pompeu, per fer la llei agrària promulgada per Cèsar. A partir del 78 aC fa carrera com a llegat de Pompeu. Va participar en moltes campanyes militars com a Hispània (71 - 11 aC) en ocasió de la guerra contra Sertori, i se sap que va tenir un comandament militar naval en la guerra contra els pirates l'any 67 aC i també participà en la guerra contra Mitridates VI Eupator. El 49 aC fou partidari del senat i els optimates en la guerra civil entre Cèsar (populares) i Pompeu (optimates) i va anar a Grècia, on va restar fins a la batalla de Farsàlia. Es va acollir a la clemència del guanyador, Cèsar, i li fou atorgada. El va nomenar superintendent de biblioteques públiques, és a dir, havia de recopilar les obres de literatura grega i llatina per a fer una gran biblioteca pública. Però abans de saber-se que havia estat perdonat per Cèsar la seva casa de Casí fou saquejada per la gent de Marc Antoni i la seva biblioteca personal fou destruïda. Tot i així Varró va poder convertir la seva passió en un assumpte d'estat. Encara que aquella biblioteca no s'acabà construint mai, la idea ja havia estat donada.

A la mort de Juli Cèsar fou inclòs en la llista de proscrits però fou advertit a temps pel seu amic Quint Fufi Calè i va poder escapar, encara que se li van confiscar els béns. Al 83 aC Varró va ser honorat amb un retrat a la primera biblioteca pública de Roma construïda per  Asini Pol·lió. Durant uns anys Terenci va restar en reclusió literària, repartit entre Cumes i Túsculum, ocupat en diverses composicions. Excepte aquells incidents a la mort de Cèsar, la resta de la seva vida fou tranquil·la. Va morir a una edat molt avançada. De fet, la seva vida està compresa en un llarg període de la història romana, ja que tenia deu anys més que Ciceró i va arribar a veure els inicis del principat d'August.

Obra
Varró va produir una obra molt extensa i que aplegava molts àmbits però només s'ha conservat De re rustica i una part bastant àmplia de De lingua latina. La major part, doncs, de les seves obres s'ha perdut.
 De lingua latina («Sobre la llengua llatina»): és un escrit gramatical. Estava compost per 25 llibres dels quals es conserven del V al X amb alguns buits. L'obra està dedicada a Ciceró, si més no en gran part. En el llibre I fa una introducció general, en els llibres II i III tracta els arguments en contra i a favor de l'etimologia com a ciència. I finalment al llibre IV tracta les formae etymologiae («formes etimològiques»). En els llibres del V al VII examina etimològicament per grups temàtics el patrimoni lèxic llatí. En els llibres del VIII al X tenen la mateixa estructura que el llibre II, III i IV. Primer argumenta contra l'analogia i l'anomalia; i en el llibre XX tracta De similitudinum forma («Sobre la forma de les analogies»). La resta de llibres devien tenir la mateixa estructura i tractaven de morfologia de l'XI al XIII i de sintaxi del XIV al XXV.
 Rerum Rusticarum («Tòpics de l'Agricultura en tres llibres»): Es tracta d'un assaig sobre agricultura. Està dividida en tres llibres: el primer s'ocupa de l'agricultura, el segon de la cria de bestiar i el tercer de la cria d'animals petits com les aus, les abelles i els peixos.

Obra perduda
 Disciplinae "Disciplines": era una obra enciclopèdica que comprenia les arts liberals: gramàtica, didàctica, retòrica, geometria, aritmètica, astronomia, música, medicina i arquitectura. En aquesta obra volia conduir el lector des del que és aparent cap al que no ho és, i tot i que s'allunyava dels texts exclusivament pràctics no es proposava acumular coneixements inútils. Esdevé un portaveu del model educatiu grec. Tot i que no ens ha arribat el text va exercir una gran influència a l'antiguitat tardana, per exemple en Sant Agustí i Marcià Capel·la.
 De comoediis Plautinis («Sobre les comèdies de Plaute»): en aquest llibre de Varró establia les 21 comèdies que es consideren autèntiques de Plaute. I hi afegia algunes obres que no tothom considera plautines però ell si.
 De poematis i De poetis («Sobre poemes») i («Sobre poetes»): Aquestes dos obres es complementaven entre si. Tractaven de la poesia llatina basant-se en la mesura i el contingut.
 Hebdomades vel De imaginibus («Les setmanes o Sobre els retrats dels avantpassats»): Eren 15 llibres amb 700 retrats de romans i grecs il·lustres. Va ser el primer llibre il·lustrat romà de què tenim notícia. Cada retrat anava acompanyat d'un epigrama i una breu biografia.
 Antiquitates rerum humanarum et divinarum («Antiguitats de les coses humanes i divines»): Va ser una obra molt influent. Era un manual ordenat per lemes. Tenia un llibre d'introducció a les res humanae («coses dels homes»). Aquesta estava seguida per quatre grups de sis llibres: de hominibus («sobre els homes», II - VII), de locis («sobre els llocs», VIII - XIII), de temporibus («sobre els temps», XIV - XIX) i de rebus («sobre les coses», XX - XXV). També hi havia unes res divinae («coses divines») dedicades a Cèsar. Té també una introducció (XXVI) i seguien 5 grups de 3 llibres amb una estructura anàloga a l'anterior, és a dir, s'ocupava: d'homes sacerdots (XXVII - XXIX) de llocs de culte (XXX - XXXII), de festivitats (XXXIII - XXXV), de rituals (XXXVI-XXXVIII) i de divinitats (XXXIX - ILI). Només tenia en compte el món i la cultura romana.
 De gente populi romani («sobre la gent del poble romà») És un llibre que parla sobre els orígens del poble romà. L'obra presenta els antecedents per a la següent obra De vita populi romani.
 De vita populi romani "(«Sobre la vida del poble romà») era una obra històrica. Estava dividida en quatre llibres i dedicada a Dionisi Àtic. El primer llibre arribava fins a l'expulsió dels reis. Els segon probablement fins a l'inici de la Primera Guerra Púnica, el tercer fins al 133 aC i el quart fins al temps de la guerra civil entre Cèsar i Pompeu. Varró té en compte l'evolució cultural i històrica, la crítica del present i una finalitat edificant.
 Liber de philosophia («Llibre sobre filosofia»): Era, evidentment, una obra filosòfica. Varró s'aproxima al platonisme de l'Acadèmia com el seu professor Antíloc. Creu doncs que l'home està format per ànima i cos. La virtut, per tant, és suficient per arribar a la vita beata "(«vida feliç»).
 De principiis numerorum («Sobre els principis dels números»): Era una obra filosòfica. Estava formada per 9 llibres i s'ocupava de la doctrina pitagòrica dels números per la qual Varró sentia una gran afició.
 Logistroici («Lògica»): Era una obra filosòfica. Constava de 76 llibres que presentaven enigmes. Es tractava d'exposicions de filosofia popular en forma de dissertació segons el model dels diàlegs d'Heràclides Pòntic.
 Saturae Menippeae  («Sàtires Menipees»): És considerada l'obra més important de Varró tot i no haver-se conservat. El propòsit era escriure una obra edificant i al mateix temps entretinguda.
 També va escriure obres de retòrica i textos jurídics.

Influències
Com a erudit i compilador va tenir accés a tota la literatura disponible i la va utilitzar per als seus fins. Encara que també utilitza materials nous. Varró és la màxima expressió de l'estil enciclopedista dels romans, els seus antecedents grecs es poden trobar a la sofística i en Posidoni.

En termes filosòfics agafa de totes les escoles el que li sembla vàlid. En les Menippeae utilitza un gènere popular provinent d'orient que li arriba a partir de Mènip de Gàdara. Valora també textos cínics, peripatètics, estoics, neopitagòrics i sobretot segueix l'Acadèmia de Plató. Aquest últim punt és degut al seu professor Antíloc d'Ascaló, però apareix només en les seves últimes obres, especialment De philosophia.

Pel que fa a l'estudi de la llengua rep gran influència del seu professor Eli Estiló, que aplica la filosofia de la stoa. També rep una gran influència d'Acci.

Tradició manuscrita
Tota la tradició de les parts conservades de De lingua Latina es fonamenta en el Laurentianus. Tots els altres manuscrits que coneixem provenen d'aquest. També és important l'exemplar de Munic de leditio princeps perquè conté anotacions. Tot i així el Laurentianus està defectuós i té molts buits.

Alguns dels textos importants són el de l'editio princeps a París i el de l'edició de Victorius (Lió 1541). Però el testimoni més antic de tots és el manuscrit Parisinus.

Es conserven 90 títols i 600 fragments de les Saturae Manippeae, sobretot gràcies a Noni. Per a la resta d'obres Varró és citat per Dionís d'Halicarnàs, Virgili, Verri Flac, Plini, Suetoni, Aulus Gel·li, Sext Pompeu Fest, Macrobi i també els pares de l'església com sant Agustí.

Pervivència
Varró va ser un autor molt important per la literatura llatina i va ser una font important per als gramàtics posteriors. A més a més és el generador del mètode de l'etimologia a Roma. I Verri Flac ordenà en forma de lèxic el material presentat per Varró i això serà utilitzat més tard per Fest al s. II i més tard també en època carolíngia per Pau el Diaca.

De fet Ciceró cita Varró en lAcademica posteriora. També és una influència per a la restauració augustea a causa de l'estudi que fa dels mores maiorum («costums dels avantpassats»). Autors com Virgili i Ovidi busquen en les seves obres pel seu gran coneixement de la història de Roma. També se'l considera doctissimus Romanorum («el més instruït entre els romans» pel que fa a l'estudi de l'antiguitat, ja que no hi ha cap testimoni de cap altre autor que es pugui equiparar a ell. Sobre les seves obres treballen Suetoni i Gel·li, però també els autors cristians com Lactanci i Agustí. La seva obra amb més repercussió va ser Disciplinae. Però les Menippeae també tenen un gran paper, ja que a partir de Boeci i Marcià Capel·la es transmeten a la literatura moderna, sobretot als països anglosaxons.

Encara que s'hagi perdut la major part de la seva obra la seva influència és remarcable i de fet Petrarca el considera després de Ciceró i Virgili il terzo gran lume romano («el tercer gran home il·lustrat»).

Justus Casner Lincoln, 1828-1893 [RG3725.AM]
by tmooney | Dec 31, 2017 | Uncategorized
RG3725.AM: Justus Casner Lincoln, 1828-1893
Diary, etc.: 1849-1886
Salem, Richardson County, Neb.: Pioneer, merchant, traveler
Size: 0.1 cu.ft.
Born in 1828 near Liberty, Clay County, Missouri, Justus Casner Lincoln ("Cass") was the only child of John and Nancy (Holtsclaw) Lincoln. John Lincoln (1798-1882) had come from Fayette County, Kentucky, where his father, Thomas, and uncle, Abraham (grandfather of the president), had settled in the 1790s. When Nancy died in 1836, John moved with his son to Andrew County, Missouri, where he farmed and built a gristmill and sawmill on what is now known as Lincoln Creek. In 1848 Cass was employed by some merchants to operate a store for them at Mormon Winter Quarters at Omaha (Florence), Nebraska. On May 1, 1849, he left for California with a company of some 60 men and about 23 wagons, reaching Sacramento on October 3 of that year. He sold merchandise in California from 1849-1853, but returned to Missouri to marry Eliza Jane Roberts on July 7, 1853.
Along with Thomas R. Hare and J.W. Roberts, Lincoln staked a claim in the Nebraska Territory in 1854. In January of 1855 they laid out the town of Salem in what is now Richardson County, and the following July, Lincoln brought his wife and four-week-old daughter, Alice, to Salem. There he once again went into business as a merchant, operating a general store and the post office as Salem's first postmaster. Eventually he added a grain elevator to his commercial interests. Lincoln was elected to the Territorial Board of Agriculture in 1858, and served in the Territorial Legislature for 1862-1863. He was an early member of the Nebraska State Historical Society (1878), and co-founder of the First National Bank of Falls City.
An avid traveler, Lincoln visited New Orleans, St. Louis, the gold fields of Colorado, and rode the rails to purchase goods for his store. In 1886 he spent three months traveling through Europe, a journey he recorded for the Salem Index newspaper. Following an illness of nearly two months, J.C. Lincoln died on May 4, 1893. His wife had unexpectedly preceded him in death three days earlier.
This collection consists of items relating to the life and travels of J.C. Lincoln. The collection includes a diary containing Lincoln's narrative of his overland journey to California in 1849, as well as a few reminiscences of the years 1850-1852. It is accompanied by a transcript. Researchers must use a preservation photocopy of the diary or the transcript, as the original is extremely fragile. Also present is a photocopy of Lincoln's European travel account, 1886, as published in the Salem Index. The NSHS has made a transcript of the account, as the quality of the copy is uneven, and no copies of the Salem Index are still extant for that year. Two biographical clippings are also included. The photograph in folder one is a wedding photo of J.C. Lincoln and his wife, Eliza Ann Roberts Lincoln.
Note: Related materials may be found in RG3706: Spurlock-Shrimpton Family.
Diary (Restricted): Includes information on miles traveled, weather, prices, and descriptions of the landscape along the trail. 103 handwritten pages: p. 86 blank, pp. 87-90 missing [blank?], pp. 91-93 blank.

Q: PostgreSQL position based attribution I am looking to create a position based attribution model using PostgreSQL but haven't been able to get it correctly.
I have tried different methods but the closest I have gotten to is the even distribution model, so, giving all marketing channels an even credit for each conversion.
Here is my last click model for a reference on the table structure I need, this assigns a full one to each of the last channels in the channel_path (with the count(distinct order_id):
    select
            coalesce(unique_channel_path[array_length(unique_channel_path,1)],
            'not_tracked') as source,
            order_date,
            count(distinct order_id) as count_orders

    from base_conversions  cvr
    group by 1,2,3,4,5,6
    order by 2 desc;

The attribution I would like to have is one that assigns 0.4 to the first channel, 0.2 to all the intermediate channels and 0.4 to the last one.
Example:
order_id                channel_path
    1       array['seo','refferal','social_media']
    2       array['seo','social_media']
    3       array['social_media','sem','display','seo']
    4       array['social_media']
result:
channel          credit

display          0.4+0.5+0.4+0.1 = 1.4
refferal         0.2             = 0.2
social_media     0.4+0.5+0.4+1   = 2.3
sem              0.1             = 0.1
seo              0.4+0.5+0.4     = 1.3

Notice how sem gets only 0.1 since it belongs to the middle category of order_id 3 along with sem, so to recap:
all first channels get 0.4, all middle ones get 0.2 all together and all last channels get 0.4 for a total of 1.0
In summary:
The final result I am seeking is a table which has the following structure:
Date      Channel      Weight
 1          sem         1.4
 2        display       1.0
 3          seo         0.4
 .
 .
 .

Taking into account that what I have arrays with each of the channels in the order they appeared for every order:
order_id                  unique_channel_path
   1             array['display','seo','social_media'....]
   2             array['sem','seo','seo'....]
   .

NEIL GIBSON SINCLAIR 1916 - 2017
Neil Sinclair. An honouree member of The Scottish Associatio for Children with Heart Disorders passed away on Christmas day 2017. 101 years old.
People like Neil are very rare in life and we were so lucky to have him take us under his wing. I'm sure a lot of you will remember that over the years Neil has given most generously to the Association. A very keen cyclist he was always promoting the benifits of two wheels opposed to 4.One year Neil cycled from Perth to Montrose to join us for our AGM, He cycled Lands End to John O'Groats raising money for the Association. He donated his Citreon car, which we sold on his behalf. When it became time, very reluctantly, to give up cycling on the roads he donated 28 of his bikes to the Association. Neil's enthusiasim for exercise continued, he had an exercise bike set up under a lean-too at the side of the house where he peddle and sing away (with a bit of French thrown in) to his heart's content. All his bikes were sold to good homes, one because of its rarity, is hanging on the persons living room wall.
A man of great humour, always wearing a smile, he would leave you feeling a lot happier when you parted. Neil's favourite rhyme:
Our Doctors say when they're in dooubt, of course there's alot of it about. Or murmer maybe, you must remember, it's your age. They left you looking most profound, it's something that is going around. There isn't one among the lot who'll tell you plainly what you've got!
Our Friend Neil Sinclair
The SACHD offer thanks to two charities who over the years have made regular donations to Association funds through the Edinburgh Branch.
To both these charities and indeed to the many groups and individuals who support the objectives and aims of SACHD and contribute through their time and financial donations we offer our thanks and appreciation on behalf of our heart children and their families.
Sporting Bears
The Sporting Bears Motor Club are a dedicated group of classic and sports car enthusiasts who raise money for children's charities through their own social and touring events. The SBMC was formed in 1989 and have raised over £1,000,000 for children's charities in the UK. Monies have been donated to SACHD through nomination from the Scottish and Northern England group known as Polar Bears who particularly appreciate our being a totally voluntary organisation with minimal governance costs.
The Binks Trust
The Binks Trust is an Edinburgh based Scottish charity supporting a vast range of charitable activities and purposes, including education, the arts and health. SACHD through application for support have been fortunate, over many years, to receive an annual donation of £1,200.
Rhona Ferguson sends her thanks to all at SACHD for funding her Merlin Thrombistat blood monitoring unit. Her training has gone well and she is getting used to checking her blood.
Rhona said "thanks again, for all your help in getting me this machine. It has made such a difference to my life already".
Rhona is pictured with the Merlin below.
SACHD and all who attended would like to thank Vikki Carpenter for organising a very successful and fun Family Weekend. THANKS VIKKI
Neil Sinclair - Honorary Member
Neil has been a generous supporter of the Association for over 25 years. This summer due to Neil's age (97 years young) he has now given up cycling and donated his bicycles to raise money for S.A.C.H.D.
We have a wonderful collection of 28 bikes a broad range from light weight road bikes, off road bikes and commuter style bikes. To date four have sold and details of the others can be obtained from Brian Parkins at the Tayside contact email or telephone 01796 473204.
This is not the first donation from Neil, over the years he has kindly given us two cars, a lawn mower and has ridden a sponsored ride from Lands end to John o' Groats.
Thank you... to a truly great gentleman and his very supportive wife Elizabeth.
Helen & Greg Run Edinburgh Marathon for SACHD 2013
With no prvious experience of running marathons both Helen and Greg took part in the Edinburgh Marathon to raise funds for the SACHD. Here they are wearing SACHD running vests prior to getting strarted.
Helen said " The run was agreat experience neither of us are runners and have never taken part in anything like this before, but it has beena great journey for both of us. Greg works offshore so most of his training has been done in the gym on the oil rig and this time last year I had just given birth to our second daughter so as you can imagine a great sense of achievement for us both".
"it was very hot on the morning of the run so not the conditions we would have chosen, however the determination and desire to raise money for SACHD carried us over the finish line and both in a decent time."
Our thanks to Helen and Greg for their very special acheivement and so far they have raised £800 for SACHD.
FUNDRAISER COMPLETES CYCLE FOR SACHD 2012
Peter Barr, a pensioner from Killiecrankie, Perthshire completed a cycle between Land's End and John O'Groats a gruelling 953.3 miles with only his friend and "team manager" Raymond Kite accompanying him, completing the cycle in only two weeks.
Raymond enjoyed the luxury of the support car while 70 year old Peter bashed out the miles on his Willier bike to raise funds for The Scottish Association for Children with Heart Disorders. Peter's target of £2,500 has been smashed with friends, family and supporters who have helped to raise £4,000.
During the cycle there were a number of "hairy" moments when Peter was forced to tackle main roads and occasionally heavy traffic and he admitted he was indebted to those he met on his journey for his safe arrival. "Generally we opted for minor roads, which were much safer, but there was a tendency to get lost when minor became extremely minor," he said. "The locals were always helpful, even though they may not have heard of the places for which we were aiming."
Luckily for Peter, he enjoyed good weather throughout most of his journey and astonishingly, completed his cycle without a single puncture or mechanical breakdown. "Temperatures dropped noticeably during the final two days of the trip but overall we were very lucky weather-wise," he said. "Headwinds occasionally created something of a challenge, especially in the final 17 miles from Wick to John O'Groats."
As well as being accompanied by Raymond, Peter was accompanied on occasion by a selection of supportive cyclists, especially when on home turf. When passing through Blair Atholl, for example, he was joined for a short distance by supportive members of the Blair Atholl Area Tourism Association.
"The feeling now is one of achievement for completing the journey but also one of delight for the generous financial support for my chosen charity," Peter added.
SACHD offer Peter our sincerest thanks for all his efforts and fundraising on behalf of the Association.

Erik & Anne on completion of the 40 mile walk.
Fleet Half marathon
Well done and congratulations to Charlotte Sale, aged 22 - neice of Vikki Carpenter Aberdeen branch - who completed the Fleet Half marathon on 25th March 2012. Charlotte raised £600 for SACHD, despite pulling tendons in her knee at 10 miles and being told by paramedics that she could not continue. With the support of her dad and boyfriend she hobbled the last three miles in pain to cross the finish line! This time last year Charlotte wasnt even a runner!! SACHD has given amazing support during the past few years, especially during times of extreme difficulty such as Vikki's daughter Jennifers' open heart surgeries!
Charlotte also had coverage in the newspaper.

Olari Elts Conducts Mahler's Symphony of the Thousands
Maestro Elts worked with 3 choirs, an international cast of singers and Latvian National Symphony Orchestra to perform Mahler's Eighth Symphony, also known as the Symphony of the Thousands.
"All of my previous symphonies were preludes to this one," Gustav Mahler has himself written of his Eighth.
"Despite the huge human forces on stage and the Eighth not being exactly the quietest piece in the symphonic repertoire, it consists some of the most fascinating and touching Mahlerian chamber music," Olari Elts explains. "Mahler's Eighth Symphony is actually a very intimate piece of music. In essence, it is about hope and faith."
For Elts, this marks his return to the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra of which he served as a Principal Conductor 2001-2006. In addition he was joined by Liene Kinča, Alisa Zinovejva, Kristīne Gailīte, Oļjesa Petrova, Tuija Knihtila, Juhan Tralla, Egils Siliņš, Priit Volmer, the Latvian Radio Choir, the Rīga Dome Cathedral Boys Choir, Latvija State Choir for the grand finale of Riga Festival at the Dzintari hall in Jurmala.
