England has the plan ready for USA tonight
Peder July 2, 2019, 10:56am #1
Ladies World Championship…Semifinals
England goes up against the favorite,.and the reigning champion USA in the first World Championship semifinals in Lyon 21.00 tonight.
If England were to blare and reach the final,.it would be the first senior final for an English national team…
That after the men's classic gold in the World Championship 1966.
Ever since Phil Neville took the job as head coach,.he has planned for an important match against the United States.
-"When I took the job,.I started to look at three games with the USA from my house in Valencia. And asked me the question: How can we beat them in the World Championship."
Just wishing England's ladies good luck tonight. And that Sweden's ladies defeat the Netherlands tomorrow.
Then England and Sweden will meet in the finals.

And that Sweden's ladies defeat the Netherlands tomorrow.
This has been noticed.

England's star: "We're more hungry".
Three straight semi finals,…but no final.
That's why Lucy Bronze thinks that England is more hungry than Sweden, USA and the Netherlands now under the final week in Lyon.
We are the only team that has not reached a final…
OLYMPICS, World Championship and EM-finals are what the other teams have recently.
So we have an advantage in our hunger,.says the star,when she talks about tonight's semi final against the United States.
We have similar talents,.and we have the same drive.
But this time we have also played more together,.says Bronze about the team that is now set against the USA.

Got a barnburner guys. Excellent play both teams. They both really move the ball. Forgive me a GO USA!!
All credit to the USA there, they were just a bit too good for our gels.

So close. Disallowed goal and the missed penalty, it could have been so different. Entertaining though.
JonathanG July 2, 2019, 9:57pm #12
Really enjoyed the game - a nail biting and impressive performance from both teams. Frankly I have no idea what these ladies are paid but it makes the overpaid prima-donnas of the male game look decidedly average and unimpressive.
The web says: In England, the English players in the FA Women's Super League receive an average of £26,752 (€30,000) a year while the men in the Premier League are paid an average of £2.64 m (€2.9m), or 99 times that figure
The male England team ought to be ashamed of their appalling record!
ClayB July 2, 2019, 10:25pm #13
Could not agree more. U.S men's team decidedly unimpressive as well.
andrewh July 2, 2019, 10:56pm #14
I Googled:
How much do England footballers get paid per match?
The players get (by footballers standards) a nominal fee of around £1000 per game. Given the fact that many of the players will earn 100x more than that from their weekly club wage, it's been common for a few years now for the players to donate their national team match salary to a charity.
So, they get paid loads by their clubs (who must think they're worth it) and not much at all for playing for their country. Presumably the women get the same for playing for their country but not an equivalent amount for playing for their club.
HouseholdNaim July 2, 2019, 11:08pm #16
JonathanG:
Well that's an average, covering that guy at Man U on half a million a week all the way down to the reserve keeper at Watford, whoever he might be.
When women's football routinely attracts paying crowds of 50,000+ and generates tv audiences on PPV channels that justify the increase in cost to the punter the arguments about relative pay can be addressed.
That said, I've loved this exposure to a new form of football. Once you adapt to the different pace and different approach it's enjoyable, but top level football it's not. England have been full of holes football wise, so have most of the teams I've watched. And the arguments that women's football doesn't suffer from the diving, play-acting and time wasting that the men's game does clearly didn't watch tonight's game or any of the other matches. It's not as prevelant, but it's there.
For a long while I've seen the Women's game as on a par with 3rd division men's football, give or take. That it's now improved to ok 2nd division [Championship] level doesn't make it must see, not yet. It'll probably get there in a few years but I won't be swapping Sunday 4:00pm games & MoTD for it yet.
Bobthebuilder July 3, 2019, 5:45am #17
Well done to the England Women's football team knocked out the semi - final to a better team I suppose though all that running the clock down with seven minutes to go wasn't great to watch.
Would I watch the women's game regularly? Know I would not and for all the reasons mentioned above by HouseholdNaim who I think is being very kind comparing it to Championship football but is spot on when it comes to the rates of pay that women get compared to men.
For me it's still very much a novelty act and like Rugby and Cricket will always be that and that's purely down to the physicality of the players.
The woman's game did make great strides over the past month but also and I'm talking about Cameroon in particular here had a few setbacks but having said that VAR has been terrible with decisions taking seven or eight minutes that WILL NOT work long term and needs addressing.
Will I watch the semi tonight and the final purely because I love watching women's football in the way I love watching the mens game? No I won't.
Well it's back to the drawing board then Phil.

It's not beach volleyball, is it.
Ardbeg10y July 4, 2019, 9:24am #20
Dutch girls perform better.
Peder July 4, 2019, 10:26am #21
Ardbeg10y,…Not in the first 90 minutes , then Sweden was the team that drove the match.
But by extension 2•15 minutes the Netherlands took over.
Though everyone seems to agree that the referee Marie-Soleil Beaudoin was a disaster.
A former Fifa-referee says,.that it is embarrassing to appoint such a referee to a Semi final of a World Championship.
He also says that Sweden should have received a penalty when the swedish player Hurtig was fell in the penal area.
But the referee didn't even take and look at VAR.
Catastrophically bad level according to the Fifa referee.
And I agree.
Also a lot of weird blows when Sweden would hit corners,.completely hard to understand according to the Fifa-referee.

Masanobu Fukuoka and Natural Farming
In the 1970s, Larry Korn spent two years living in a small mud-walled hut in Japan, working with and learning from a man named Masanobu Fukuoka, who today is seen as the father of modern day natural farming. On his return to the United States, Larry led the effort to translate Fukuoka's book, One Straw Revolution into English. The book was published in English in 1978 and went on to be a best-seller — many call it the 'bible' of natural farming — that is celebrated by a host of 'good food' luminaries from Frances Moore Lappé to Michael Pollan.
Please enjoy the following excerpts from our interview with Larry during the filming of Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness. We hope they give an insight into what Natural Farming is about and why the ideas behind it could very well be keys to a more sane, happy, sustainable world.
Excerpts from an Interview with Larry Korn
2012 September 5 | Ashland, Oregon (USA)
Fukuoka's Beginnings
Masanobu Fukuoka initially studied plant pathology. His first job out of college was inspecting plants that were going out of Japan and came into Japan. He lived in Yokohama, and spent his days appreciating nature as shown through the eyepiece of a microscope.
He caught pneumonia and became so sick he almost died, but he survived. It was an experience that caused him to start thinking about larger issues of life and death. He saw that nature was completely interconnected, that is was operating perfectly, it was just ideal. What people were doing was taking this interconnected reality and dividing it up into bits and pieces, and in their discriminating mind, creating North and South, separating the tree from the bush from the stones from the plants from the animals. Humans were adding values like good and bad, beneficial insects and pests, and all of these things. Then creating all of these ideas about how life came about, how did nature come about. Creating a discrimination which doesn't exist in the world of nature, this is only the world of human thinking.
Yet because of the limited understanding that people have, they can only get in the way. When an unintended consequence [of human actions] occurs, people deal with that consequence with the same limited way of thinking that they did [when they created the first problem], which creates another consequence, each one getting larger and larger.
Until today, where pretty much all we're doing just about is mitigating the unintended consequences of the things we've been doing in the past.
So he thought this idea, this understanding would be of great benefit to those of the world, so he tried to explain it to his co-workers and even to people on the streets, and they… well they didn't get it. They were living within the world of human thought completely, and to them it seemed like what he was talking about was going back, back to an earlier time, and now science and technology — this was in the 1930s — and science and technology was about to bring new abundance and leisure to the world and who would want to go back?
To Fukuoka, this was not about going back, it was about reality. He referred to it as nature very often, sometimes god, sometimes god/nature, but most often — and what I think is the most expressive — is that he referred to it as reality. It's just this place, that we find ourselves in, we don't know why, how it came about, it just 'is' with no values or separation.
So what he decided to do is go back to his farm and apply this understanding to agriculture, and thereby show its benefit to humanity.
But he had no idea how to go about doing that, and nobody had ever tried it before.
So the usual approach to developing a system is to say how about trying this and how about trying that — he decided to go the opposite direction, how about not doing this and how about not doing that.
So he looked at all of these agricultural practices and he said: do we really need to be doing this? Or is this something we're doing just because we caused a problem, and now we're doing this, and we caused another problem and now we're doing that?
Eventually he decided there was no need to plow the fields, I mean basic stuff, no need to plow the fields, no need to do weeding, no need to make compost, no need to flood the rice fields like ever other farmer in Japan did at the time.
In fact by the time that I got to his farm, which was maybe 30 years after he had been farming this way, there was very little that he did do. All he did was scatter the seeds, sometimes in clay pellets, spread straw, had a ground cover of clover, and he waited for the harvest.
When he got the orchard, it was eroded down to subsoil, so he enriched the soil using ground cover of clover and deep rooted plants like daikon and burdock and dandelion and so forth, and then he had radish and mustard and buckwheat and alfalfa and grains and perennials, and he planted many different types of trees, and over time, actually over a very short time using his method, the soil improved to the point that he didn't have to fertilize.
At first, because there was no habitat for many of the insects, he had to make natural insecticide like pyrethrum which comes from chrysanthemum roots, and he had to spray that on his vegetables in order to keep things like cabbage worm and cabbage moths away. But after he established habitat for lots of different insects, the natural balance made it so he didn't have to worry about insect control anymore.
You see, so one thing after the other that he didn't have to do, that nature took over. In a way, it's a kind of a 'going back' but only because society has gone away from it.
Wandering off the Path
Society has wandered off the path in several ways. One is the process that I described, where we separate ourselves from nature. I think anybody in the modern world does feel a separation from nature. We know there's a separation and Fukuoka pinpoints how we separate ourselves by this process of thinking and discrimination and human values. We're living in a separate world.
Another way is that somewhere along the line — and it seems to have been right about where agriculture came about, about 10 or 12 thousand years ago — people got the idea that humans are different from other species, that we're better, we're of more value, and that the world was given to us to do whatever we wanted, and that with our intellect and through science we could actually improve things for human beings and, well, not so important what happens to other species, ah, it's just collateral damage. So by now we've pretty much taken over so much of the habitat that other species relied on and we're using it for agriculture and for human settlements.
The practice of agriculture itself, with plowing and the logging and the irrigation and all of this agricultural management. It has not really been good for the environment. We've run down the richness that was given to us.
So for us to get back to our original place in nature and to take advantage of the original bounty, boy we've got a lot to do… but once we get into a proper way of thinking and a proper relationship to nature, then we will intuitively know how to make a living in the world. How to feed ourselves and give ourselves shelter in a way which also allows other forms of life to live and enriches the soil.
This is just a short term… I call it the nightmare of agriculture. It's not an original idea, other people have also seen that we've been on this weird nightmarish track for the last 12 thousand years, but anyway, we need to reverse that.
It's All in the View
An example that I often use, that's maybe a little easier to understand for westerners, because Fukuoka kind of explains this stuff in a way that some of the terminology is difficult for westerners. He makes certain things … easy to understand, but the way that he says it obscures it a little bit for westerners.
People associate natural farming with a technique.
It's not the technique, it's the view.
Once you have that view … you enter into nature and participate from the inside instead of as a visitor from the outside, then you'll know exactly what to do … a lot of it depends on trial and error, that you try something and see how nature responds, and that helps you to move along to figure out what to do.
He referred to it as 'do nothing' farming, but of course that doesn't have to do with literally not doing anything, it is letting nature take care of the insect control, the fertilizing, the irrigation, all of these things.
So the farmer is really doing much less. He figured out how to eliminate unnecessary work. That was sort of a tipoff to him: if it took a lot of effort, there's probably a better way to do it. You know, that was just one of the things that helped him decide which way to go, if it took a lot of work [it was] probably not right.
So most people, when they try to figure out a system, they try this and try that, but the other thing. They focus in on what didn't work, and try to fix what didn't work because they have a clear idea of what they want to do. Fukuoka again, took the opposite approach … he kind of went with the flow of what nature was showing him.
And what didn't work, he ignored, he just didn't go that way.
Fukuoka's Rice Field Experiments
Here's an example of that: He knew he wanted to spread the straw of the previous crop — he grew rice during the summer and barley during the winter on the same field every year — and after it was harvested and threshed, he spread the rice straw back to mulch the barley field and the barley straw to mulch the rice field. He also thought the straw would be effective for weed control.
So when he first tried this, he took the barley and put it on the rice, but he kind of piled it on thickly, in clumps, just as it came off the thresher He piled it like that and it was very effective at weed control, but was also effective at controlling the rice, the rice couldn't get through. So that year his rice yield was about 20 percent of normal, or 20 percent what his neighbors were getting. And they didn't know what to make of him, and they said gee, growing rice is like the simplest thing in the world, and he's doing this strange stuff…
But to him that was a successful year, because he saw in one corner right where he was taking the straw from the big pile and carrying it out to the field, in this one place the straw had just fallen here and there, you know, scattered instead of plopped. And there the rice did just fine and the weeds were not coming up. So he goes aha! That's what he learned from that year.
So he scattered the rice every which way and he got the best of both worlds, he got the mulch on the surface that was keeping weeds down, and also the breaking down and enriching — it's like a sheet composting system — and still the rice came through and the weeds, not so much.
Knowing the Land
It's more getting to know the land, the place where you live, becoming a part of it.
Usually westerners refer to that as observation, but to me observation implies the viewpoint, it already implies the split, the separation because it's the observer and the observed.
The idea of observation from the natural farming point of view, is more of an interaction. You are not observing, you are actually living in nature and you are getting to know your place. It's similar to the natives [California] who had a profound sense of where they lived, they knew everything that was going on … and as you practice natural farming, that is what you are going for … you become so intimately connected with a place that it becomes an extension of yourself.
So it goes farther than observation. But yes, observation is important because you're interacting with nature, you're doing what Fukuoka did, trying things and seeing what the response is and then going that way.
Pretty soon you get so tuned in to following that trail that eventually you come to, home. And 'home,' is the state that Fukuoka refers to in a lot of different ways as Mu, as 'do nothing,' you get to the point in which you are connected, totally connected, right there. And the feeling, there's not qualitative characteristic to that place, but he refers to it as great joy, and sometimes he refers to it as a state and upwelling of love. He really thought that love had an important role in our understanding and enjoyment of the world because it is really at the basis of everything.
Making a Personal Change
You know, Fukuoka. He loved farming. And he thought it would be great if everybody farmed, and everybody grew plants and supplied their own needs, plants and animals. But he didn't believe that farming was necessarily the highest form, or was necessarily the only way that people could have this experience. He does call it natural 'farming' but lets say it's the way of seeing nature directly, really.
If you're a farmer it's not that farming is intrinsically better than any other vocations, but with farming, you're out in the fields all the time, you're interacting with the plants and soil and the insects and the other creatures, so you're right there. The chance of having this experience is so much greater when you're in the natural world then when you're, for example, sitting at a desk in a cubicle because all you see around you is the human things, the products of human thought, so it's hard to imagine a world outside of that. That's what he is saying, he believes it is easier to have this experience if you're out living in the natural world, but it's not the only way.
So, what are the benefits of natural farming? Well of course you learn to feed and clothe your family in a way in which the earth is enriched, you become partners again with the other forms of life and there's this upwelling of great joy, what's not to like, really? Except that you … you do pretty much have to give up the materialist toys, which really have no place in that world. So you really have to make a commitment.
In your personal life, how do you make this transition? Well, I've kind of found it useful to follow the same technique, how about if we're not doing this or not doing that. In the form of, well of course in your personal life living as simply as possible, and there's great freedom and joy in living simply. It's called voluntary simplicity, and then there's changing the lightbulbs in your house, and things… but it's in the thoughts.
Essentially … Zen is trying get to the same point, where you're living and you're one with everything.
It's the same as the people that teach poetry and the people that teach all of the arts in Japan, where it's based on this idea that you come to the place where there's no qualities and no thought and you're one with everything, and if you're studying pottery, of course it makes you a better person, it's a good thing… with natural farming you become a better more joyful person, but you're also providing for your own livelihood, you're growing what you need to eat and you're in partnership with other forms of life.

Is giving all college students meningitis vaccines worth it?
December 19th, 2018 Posted by Vanessa McMains-Johns Hopkins
Vaccinating all new college students against meningitis B may cost too much right now to justify preventing relatively few cases of the sometimes-deadly disease, according to a new study.
But a computer model researchers have developed also suggests that if vaccine developers could significantly lower the price, universal vaccination on college campuses might be worthwhile.
"Despite the poor prognosis of meningitis B infection and the fairly reasonable cost of meningitis B vaccination, the extreme rarity of this infection even amongst its peak in college-age individuals makes universal vaccination cost-ineffective," says lead researcher Ira Leeds, a postdoctoral research fellow in surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
"Vaccinating 100,000 college students, for example, would prevent less than five cases of MenB," says Leeds. "Health care systems and public health programs do not have unlimited funds and such a small benefit makes support of universal vaccination economically untenable, even when accounting for individual, payer, and community outbreak costs, and productivity lost by society."
The MenB vaccine is safe and effective and should remain available, Leeds and his fellow researchers say. Those at high risk because of compromised immune systems or other conditions should consider vaccination.
Meningitis B is the most common form of meningococcal infection—or bacterial meningitis—in young adults in the United States. There are about 600 to 1,000 cases a year, but the disease affects only 30 of every 100,000 US college students, according to 2017 data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The infection is serious, however, and may cause severe inflammation of the brain and spine. Each year, about 10 to 15 percent of Americans who contract MenB die.
"Vaccines have become widely available within the past few years," Leeds says, "but there's very little evidence to suggest that they're going to do much good given their high cost in a generally healthy population."
In their report, the researchers determined the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY)—a standard measure of the public policy value of medical interventions—to be $13.9 million if every entering college student in the United States were vaccinated. Historic expenditures and previous research, the investigators say, assume that society is willing to pay $150,000 per QALY.
Put another way, the study suggests that universal vaccination of the college student population would be cost-effective only if a vaccine series cost less than $65; the average current price is $324, according to study authors.
The research appears in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The National Cancer Institute and the Republic of India supported the study.

Between Resistance and Deception - The Palestinian Struggle 30 years after UN sanction against apartheid
By Jamal Juma
The Israeli regime unleashes daily racist brutality that by far outstands the crimes of the previous apartheid regime in South Africa. It imprisons an entire people behind ghetto walls, kills them and submits them to an economic blockade that has brought communities to the verge of starvation. Yet, while exactly 30 years ago the UN General Assembly called for comprehensive sanctions against apartheid in South Africa, Palestinians are reminded on a daily basis that the Zionist Occupation can still count on the blindness of the world to its atrocities and crimes. Until when?
In Beit Hanoun Palestinian women have set another symbol of our resistance. And while Palestinians acknowledge their sacrifice, the rest of the world seems oblivious to the latest crimes in Gaza despite video cameras capturing the siege. In the hellish prison the Strip has been turned into - even more since "disengagement" took place - and after days of large-scale murder and destruction that has by now cost the lives of over 60 people only in the village, sixty men had taken refuge in a mosque. The women gathered to save the lives of their fathers, brothers, sons and comrades and marched towards the mosque as Occupation Forces threatened to demolish it over the men. They continued marching as the Occupation opened fire, murdering two and leaving dozens injured. They prevented an even bigger massacre as the men escaped the siege of the mosque.
Similarly, in the West Bank farmers are putting their lives at stake, confronting the occupants at the gates that seal Palestinians in and in the fields isolated by the Apartheid Wall. The annual harvest of the olives forms a major source of income for agricultural communities and workers.
Only two weeks ago, Palestinians from across the West Bank and isolated parts of Jerusalem challenged their ghettoization by climbing over the Apartheid Wall in order to enter the city. Ladders and broken streetlights were deployed as people overcame the 8-metre high cement walls to break the siege and isolation of the Palestinian capital.
In the meanwhile Palestinian political elites are paralyzed by the arrests, choking sanctions and the never-ending internal disputes. Ten months after the January elections, no effective political leadership has emerged. Today Mahmoud Abbas has de facto usurped the government while Hamas unable to untie their hands, keep watching and defending power over a structure which they had never before granted legitimacy. Hamas clearly has no cards to overcome the impasse. However after 7 months of sanctions and a prolonged strike of the public sector one key feature has emerged: Palestinians are able to cope without the Oslo apparatus that gives salaries to 160,000 families. Ironically, it is now when no major Palestinian political force opposes the Palestinian National Authority that it has proven itself to be superfluous for Palestinians, politically and economically.
We can continue the charade of "governments" imposed by the Occupation and the international community, whether they are "presidential" or "national unity" governments. We can surrender even the right to democracy and self-determination of the structures and leadership of our struggle to Apartheid Israel and its allies and continue to cheer Bantu kings approved by them to administer inside the ghetto walls. Or we can see the redundancy of such structures and move to a transition period that would elapse between a possible end to the PNA and the moment Israel is forced to take up again its responsibilities of the administration of all the land it occupies.
The Week against the Apartheid Wall (9th - 16th of November) - that mobilizes this year for the fourth time people in Palestine and in 25 countries all over the world in protest against Israeli crimes - reminds us about the people on the ground that are continuing the struggle, about men and women that have no other choice but to continue their resistance through existence. It is time for them to take the lead.
Exactly 30 years ago, on November 9th, 1976 the UN General Assembly proclaimed "that any collaboration with the racist regime of South Africa constitutes a hostile act against the oppressed people of South Africa and a contemptuous defiance of the United Nations and the international community" and passed a package of comprehensive sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Today, Palestinians die in scores, the ghetto walls encircle communities and international law is violated daily by a regime whose means and aims go far beyond apartheid in South Africa. The creation of Israel created the world's largest refugee population which today are still prevented from returning to their homes. Today life for Palestinians within the Israeli regime includes house demolitions and calls for transfer via the Occupation ministers of "strategic threats" - or in other words the racist demographic engineering necessary to ensure Jewish numerical majority. The West Bank Bantustans turn into hermetically sealed ghettos while missiles rain down upon Gaza.
Yet, the international community maintains its silence.
No call for sanctions or even an end to preferential agreements comes from the UN. Even the decision of the International Court of Justice to dismantle the Wall and not to render any aid or assistance to the situation created by it is ridiculed by global powers and the international community at large. Instead of clear pressure on Israel to stop and dismantle the Wall, the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan prides himself by claiming to set up a "register" to list the damages. Palestinians are supposed to be grateful that yet another UN office is staffed in Vienna with an "independent" board accountable uniquely to the Secretary General who himself behaves as any puppet of the US administration.
Yes, Palestinians do want those who have stolen their land and lives to pay a price for it. Yet, without a clear commitment from the UN to ensure the Wall is stopped and torn down, the register is too little, too late. Palestine and its people are not for sale. Compensation before the Wall falls is not an option.
Further, the register as it is proposed grossly belittles the damages of the Wall, completely neglecting the wider socio-political effects. The Wall is not only about dunums of land and numbers of house demolitions or even the cutting of access to educational or health facilities. The Wall means the ghettoization of an entire population, the destruction of an economy, a society, communities and lives. However, even the sort of "humanitarian accounting" proposed in the relaxed confines of Viennese diplomacy is not done with the necessary decency or with at least a clear outcome in sight. Quantification, and thus potential damage restitution after the fall of the wall, is carefully avoided.
Also shunned is any consultation or involvement of the affected population in the process. Our voices have not been heard and even in the future the only task we have is to fill in forms to satisfy UN bureaucracy. This is the same machinery that runs the registers of the Palestinian refugees for almost 60 years and is happy to continue doing so for the 60 years to come.
As Palestinians we know that we need to document the crimes and destruction made against us but we have learned as well that it is not the UN that we can rely upon. We are thus calling for a national register based upon a collective effort of Palestinian and international civil society and grassroots organizations; a true effort to document and to denounce the devastation the Zionist project of colonization, apartheid and expulsion brought via the Apartheid Wall. A register that is managed by the Palestinian people going hand in hand with the genuine struggle to tear down the Wall with an end to apartheid, racism and occupation in Palestine..
We believe that the tables will turn. The first signs that the people and civil society organizations - not just from Palestine, but also across the world - are waking up to the realities are clear. Collaboration and complicity with the Occupation is targeted by popular actions and measures. Trade unions, churches and various social and political groups and organizations are joining efforts to isolate apartheid Israel. Not a day passes that somebody somewhere around the world takes action. This movement needs to be cultivated, strengthened and grow.

E-commerce giant uses certified, trusted, actionable data to support resilience in unpredictable times
New Zealand founded EziBuy is one of the largest multi-channel retailers in Australasia, selling fashion and homeware worldwide. They wanted to improve the speed and ease in which they access insights about their business.
Solving an enterprise data challenge
SAP provides a solid backbone for EziBuy's e-commerce operations, but they lacked a way of surfacing and integrating this data into other systems. Reliance on traditional SQL queries directly from the operational systems was complicated, with slow response times when generating reports (up to 10 minutes). This led to frustrated business users who wanted to quickly see information and often ended up navigating away from the previous reporting environment - assuming it had failed to load. Anton Vermeer, BI Architect and Team Lead at EziBuy shares,
"We were coming from a place where reporting was ad hoc and sporadic. We wanted to build something for the enterprise level."
Dashboard and report duplication was common, and it was time-consuming to find the correct report or dashboard - known as 'curated content'- leading to risk of inaccurate and inconsistent reporting.
The BI team were tasked with maintaining the environment through governance and security, but it was challenging without the right tools to certify the correct content.
EziBuy decided to implement MicroStrategy, a world-leading enterprise-grade analytics platform, to achieve this goal.
A rationalised environment
The adoption of MicroStrategy's single unified Semantic Graph (metadata layer) and in-memory OLAP cubes, now lets users go to the workspace they need and generate reports and interactive dashboards (dossiers) quickly. We've reduced the waiting time of 10 minutes, to less than 3 seconds. Vermeer highlights the benefit of trusted data,
"Not everyone knew if reports could be trusted or not. Our staff can now go to the standard MicroStrategy dossiers and get certified, trusted, and actionable information. There's no more guesswork or questions like 'can I use this, can I trust this?'"
There's better control and governance over dashboard and report production, and the BI team can easily tag the 'certified content' - dashboards and reports deemed trustworthy sources.
"From an IT perspective, having all that information in maintainable and supported structures makes it easier because we know what needs to be tested. There aren't thousands of reports to test either. We test the central data layers, and if they work, the rest also works."
They've seen increased adoption and trust in the data too. Many users access reports at least ten times a day, in some cases up to fifty times. Users can easily create new dashboards/reports to suit their needs – a testament to the ease of the MicroStrategy platform and the highly engaged users at EziBuy. As Vermeer shares, there are significant time savings,
"Reports are standardised, integrated and available. In terms of time savings, there will be several days every year that we're now saving."
He elaborates,
"Retail used to spend the whole of Monday running reports to decide what to send to stores. With MicroStrategy dossiers, this process is now 2 hours. They run the dossier, get the result and make the ranging decision."
EziBuy users can collaborate effortlessly and share content. More people are also accessing reports via mobile on the 'MicroStrategy Library' app – sitting around 15% of users.
EziBuy is well on its way to surfacing even better insights and making even better business decisions thanks to a more rationalised environment.
"We've had resilience during the uncertain times of COVID. Having information instantly available and leveraging all the prior work that we've done in MicroStrategy has been crucial for the executive team to say 'what's the impact, how do we adjust to come through this in a better fashion than we went into it?'"
With cutting-edge tech HyperIntelligence now in production and recently receiving the Global 'GameChanger' award from MicroStrategy, EziBuy has proven that they're not only keeping pace in a competitive market but an unpredictable one too.
EziBuy uses "In-Memory" Business Intelligence through MicroStrategy's Intelligent Cube architecture.
Intelligent Cubes provide split-second results for user queries in a more secure and governed way, and they're ideal for enterprise-grade deployments.
The cubes create an in-memory copy of datasets, structured into multiple cubes across different data subject areas – including sales, stock, contact centre, marketing and merchandising. These areas became 'workspaces', accessible by users via a web portal.
The next step: HyperIntelligence for EziBuy. Read more.

La stazione di Riva del Garda era una stazione ferroviaria posta sulla ferrovia Rovereto-Arco-Riva. Serviva il comune di Riva del Garda.

Storia

Attivata nel 1891, la stazione fu dismessa all'atto della chiusura della linea, nel 1936, per poi essere totalmente dismessa.

Strutture e impianti
La stazione vera e propria era costituita da un fabbricato viaggiatori e due binari. Ad oggi il fabbricato viaggiatori è stato convertito ad altro utilizzo e il binario uno è ancora presente mentre il secondo è stato smantellato.

// Uncomment next line to disable shared memory features if you do not have libXext
// (http://www.xfree86.org/current/mit-shm.html)
//#define X_NOSHMEM

// Note that it may happen that the build environment supports the shared-memory extension
// (so there's no build-time reason to disable the relevant code by defining X_NOSHMEM),
// but that using shared memory still fails at run time.
// This situation will (ultimately) cause the error handler set by XSetErrorHandler()
// to be invoked with XErrorEvent::minor_code==X_ShmAttach. The code below tries to make
// such a determination at XShmAttach() time, which seems plausible, but unfortunately
// it has also been observed in a specific environment that the error may be reported
// at a later time instead, even after video::init_window() has returned.
// It is not clear whether this may happen in that way in any environment where it might
// depend on the kind of display, e.g., local vs. over "ssh -X", so #define'ing X_NOSHMEM
// may not always be the appropriate solution, therefore an environment variable
// has been introduced to disable shared memory at run time.
// A diagnostic has been added to advise the user about possible workarounds.
// X_ShmAttach macro was changed to 1 due to recent changes to X11/extensions/XShm.h header.

Blessed John Henry Newman
Welcome to our History Department
At Newman, we believe that history can unlock doors to the past and to the future. We strive to allow students to discover a love for history as well as the skills to apply their learning to current tasks and their futures. Our vision is to foster this enthusiasm to enable students to be the best they can possibly be.
We approach history in a diverse way and use a wide range of teaching styles to accommodate this. History can allow us to understand the way our world is today and how it has been shaped by people and events in the past. It helps us to ask questions properly and develop our own interpretations, based on evidence. It is also a foreign land filled with amazing stories. At Newman, we take students through over a thousand years of local, British and global history.
Miss E Lowrey
Head of History
Students will study:
The Norman Conquest of 1066
Life in Medieval Britain
The Black Death
The Development of Democracy in Britain
Medieval Britain's Relations with other Countries
The Tudor Monarchs: Henry VIII, Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I and Elizabeth I
We also offer a Religion, History and Society course in conjunction with the RE department which supports the history curriculum and allows students to explore a wider range of religious and historical issues and develop their understanding of social, moral, spiritual and cultural issues and British Values. This includes pre-Christian polytheism; the early Christian Church in Britain; Medieval Christianity; the relationship between Church and State in the Medieval period (including Thomas Becket); Islamic beliefs; the European Reformation; and Tudor religion.
Victorian Britain and the Industrial Revolution
Black People of America (Slave Trade to Civil Rights)
Women throughout History
The year 8 Religion, History and Society programme includes: migration to America; Native American life and beliefs; Mormons; the British Empire with particular focus on India; immigration and the idea of Britain as a multicultural society; human rights; prejudice and discrimination; Heroes of Human Rights; terrorism; and conflict in the Middle East.
1920s America
Communism and the Cold War
In January of year 9 students start preparations for GCSE history by exploring the Norman Conquest of England in increased depth.
Religion, History and Society is also taught in year 9 in conjunction with the RE department. We have constructed a unit which links the RE GCSE unit on Judaism with the History GCSE unit on Dictatorship in Germany. Students study the basics of the Jewish faith before beginning an exploration of how life changed for Jews in the 20th century including the escalation of persecution; ghettos; pogroms and Kristallnacht; the Holocaust; and the impact of the Holocaust.
This course should give students a broad range of knowledge through engaging topics and dynamic teaching. It aims to develop the students' enquiry skills to understand cause and consequence; significance; and change and continuity. Source evaluation and knowledge recall are strengthened components of the exams so students will get a lot of practice with these.
At GCSE, we follow the new AQA specification with units on Health and the People; Conflict and Tension during World War One; Democracy and Dictatorship in Germany and Norman England. This will be assessed by two terminal exams at the end of year 11. There is no longer any coursework.
There are 3 units to the A-level:
The Tudors: England 1485-1603
Democracy and Nazism: Germany, 1918-1945
Non-examined assessment (NEA)
We have chosen a broad range of topics to give students experience of multiple time periods which will provide a broad basis if students decide to carry on their study of history to degree level. It also enables us to give students more freedom with the NEA. In the past, the NEA may have been called coursework. Students select a topic, covering a 100 year period that they are interested in and spend time independently researching and writing a 4000 word essay analysing a key issue. This is on par with first year university work and requires dedication and commitment to working independently. As our two examined units meet the exam board's 200 year rule, students can have greater choice over their NEA.

The quake Australia thought could never happen
By CHRISTIAN PETERSON
AUSTRALIAN seismologists said last week that they were not surprised
by the magnitude of the earthquake that rocked the New South Wales city
of Newcastle three days after Christmas. They added that the possibility
of earthquake activity in a populated area such as Newcastle was also expected.
Both conclusions run contrary to the views held by many Australians,
who were taught at school that since their continent is one of the oldest,
it is not subject to damaging earthquakes, and only experiences the occasional
tremor. In the past, there has been damage to buildings and services, but
never any loss of life.
On 28 December, at 10.28 am, an 11-second earthquake measuring 5.5 on
the Richter scale rocked the steel-manufacturing city of Newcastle. Twelve
people were killed, nearly 200 injured, and widespread and severe damage
was caused to buildings. The Newcastle Workers Club collapsed, killing nine
people. Train services were suspended in case the vibrations they produced
caused nearby damaged multi-storey buildings to collapse.
Scientists from the Australian Seismological Centre in Canberra rushed
to the area and installed 10 seismological machines to measure the aftershock,
to calculate the locations of the epicentre and the hypocentre, and to gather
data about the cause of the quake.
Only one aftershock has been recorded, registering 1.5 on the Richter
scale. The epicentre appears to have been located in the middle of the city's
central business district, with the hypocentre about 5 kilometres underground.
Shock waves were felt as far away as Queensland.
The quake is now considered to have been a 'shallow' one. As a result,
it gave the district a severe shaking, causing greater damage that might
have been expected from a 'deeper' quake. The large amount of masonry that
was not reinforced contributed to the widespread damage to buildings.
Analysis of the data collected could shed light on the cause of the
earthquake, but will probably confirm existing knowledge of earthquakes
on the east coast of Australia. The coast does not contain a distinctive
and continuous fault line, such as the San Andreas fault running through
San Francisco. The southeast of Australia, from Melbourne to Newcastle,
is a well-known 'intra-plate' zone.
The stresses that build up in this portion of the Australian plate are
thought to be the result of plate movement outside Australia, along a line
stretching roughly from Papua New Guinea to New Zealand and the Antarctic
region. What is unusual is that the Newcastle quake occurred at the northern
edge of the plate, in what is considered a low-risk area.
Dr Kevin McCue of the Australian Seismological Centre said that he was
also puzzled by the fact that so few aftershocks were recorded. 'Our first
seismograph was installed within 12 hours of the quake, and the remaining
nine machines were in place by the next morning,' he said.
The only aftershock that was registered took place at 10 pm the following
day. 'Normally for an earthquake measuring 3-4 on the Richter scale you
would expect up to 20 aftershocks,' McCue added.
The Australian Seismological Centre is currently analysing the data
it has collected, and will shortly be issuing a revised risk map to assist
the Standards Association of Australia to update its design and structural
engineering codes.

Are your decorations still up?
Do you have any special plans for 2014?
No, but I have several goals for my art, writing, and ways of managing my home. I have just acknowledged these goals and thought of ways to achieve them. I see resolutions as something more severe. I have often felt like I failed, so I try not to make them. Yes. I resolve to eat more apples. I get so many carrots, that I think I need variety.
Yes. As much as I'm itching to clean up, the family has requested leaving them up until Epiphany (Jan 6th). Patrice took our decoration away when we tried to eat it. Spoiled Sport!
I got money for new clothes, a DSLR from my generous daughter, and a promise to help with family scrapbooks from another one of my girls. Did I mention chocolate? I'm still waiting for Santa.
We had 1/16th of an inch when we woke up this morning. We had a day, a few weeks ago, when it snowed like mad for about a half an hour. I'm sure we will get some of the white stuff. It was much more regular when I was younger, but the weather has gone binky. No. I don't like snow. I have never been able to build a snow horse. It gets my back wet when it melts. No snow for me!
The next chat will be on Tuesday. Just like they've always been. Have a good rest of the week.
I always enjoy these lovely chats! Renovations are hard to live with! We are painting but in a couple years we plan to totally take the kitchen and make it something NEW! I am so excited! I was hopping it would snow more while I was home on staycation...nope not until I went back to work. Go figure. Happy New Year!
Wow it sounds like you have a wonderful daughter! Happy 2014!
We have a bit of snow tonight, along with some black ice issues. No decorations here and no resolutions!
Always enjoy your questions and answers, Patrice! And give Wendal an extra apple from me!
We went crazy with some renovations in November, then I got kinda burned out. Go figure. I still have a long list of to-do's, so likely will go on my list for 2014. Happy new year!
I wish that it would snow here. Even with this blast of cold air, I don't think that it is likely for us to get any.
I'm a little late and couldn't add my link :(.

Q: How to prevent gnu screen capturing the mouse? I want to use local scrollback on my terminal, whilst using gnu screen.  That's because my network connection is incredibly slow, so using screen's scrollback is very slow.  Local scrollback is much better.
This works, using "termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@" in my .screenrc.
However, the mouse is mapped to screen's 'up'/'down' cursor keys, rather than being mapped to my local terminal scroll.  Why?  When screen is not running in the remote ssh session, using the mouse to scroll works just fine.  But it seems like somehow gnu screen is telling my local terminal to just send it the mouse wheel commands, and ignore them itself?

A: Press Ctrl+A on the keyboard and press Esc.
Press the Up and Down arrow keys or the PgUp and PgDn keys to scroll through previous output.
Press Esc to exit scrollback mode.
In screen it is done this way because each virtual terminal has its own scrollback buffer.
So I don't think you'll be able to do it the way you want to do it using screen. I have heard that it is possible to use the mouse to scroll using byobu instead of screen. Frankly either byobu or tmux are better IMHO. I prefer tmux, never tried to scroll in it though.

A: Why you don't try just uninstall the gps2 package? It's the default package to manage mouse copy and paste using mouse at the xterm.

A: You can turn off Screen's mouse tracking in the current session with a command:
Press Ctrl+A and type :mousetrack off
To keep this mode after detaching from and reattaching to this Screen session, use :defmousetrack off
To default to this mode for new Screen sessions, put defmousetrack off (without the leading colon) on a new line in your ~/.screenrc file.

    tvGiorni_rest.setText(""+Giorniresidue);

where I do a subtraction to a value drawn from the shared preference that will automatically update with the result of the operation, such as when initially I'm 20, I add a record to the database on and I find myself in the shared preference value 19.Se however riaccedo to the database again , the operation is repeated and the shared prference instead of 19 to 18 are taken.
Is there a way to avoid a repeat the operation every time I log in to the database
  or better yet, if you increase days, but if I decrease subtracts the days again increases the value of days payable
String str1 = Integer.toString(Giorniresidui);

        Editor editor = prefs.edit();
        editor.putString(GIORNISPETT, str1);
        editor.commit();

Fibrous epulis or peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive non-neoplastic condition that affects the gingiva as a result of chronic irritation. A case of a 44 year old female is presented in this study with a gingival swelling related to the maxillary central incisors. The Patient reported a history of trauma ten years ago and a recent root canal treatment of tooth 21, followed by referral to a specialist with a misdiagnosis for a combined periodontic-endodontic lesion affecting the maxillary central incisors.

A case of a 44 year old female is presented in this study with a gingival swelling related to the maxillary central incisors. The Patient reported a history of trauma ten years ago and a recent root canal treatment of tooth 21, followed by referral to a specialist with a misdiagnosis for a combined periodontic-endodontic lesion affecting the maxillary central incisors. Excisional biopsy of the lesion revealed a diagnosis of ulcerated fibrous epulis with osseous metaplasia also known as peripheral ossifying fibroma. Periodontal debridement was performed to eliminate supra and subgingival plaque and calculus as well as gingival inflammation that could have been the source of irritation. The clinical and histopathological pictures and the surgical procedures associated with management of the periodontal disease are described. The etiological factor behind the development of the gingival reactive lesion remains unknown and could be the history of trauma, the chronic irritation induced by the plaque and calculus associated with the periodontal disease or a combination of both. We endeavour to follow up the case in order to report any recurrence.
