BOROBUDUR TEMPLE: Experiencing the Most Wonderful Sunrise in the World!
By Sheila
Topics: #Travel
The majestic BOROBUDUR TEMPLE lies in the heart of CENTRAL JAVA. Its nine tiers overlook rolling hills and lush greenery that are best viewed at sunrise. Borobudur is only an hour's drive away from Yogyakarta City, the center of education and traditional Javanese arts.
Built in the 9th century during the Sailendra Dynasty, this marvel boasted 2,672 bas-relief panels and 504 Buddha statues in its prime. And get this–no mortar or cement was used in the process. These massive structures were expertly "glued" together with interlocking volcanic stones. It's no surprise this temple is widely considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Officially named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, Borobudur Temple is now recognized as the largest and greatest Buddhist monument in existence.
The structure is designed in a Javanese-Buddhist fashion, which explains the combination of Indigenous Cult Worship and Buddhist Tenets in the bas-reliefs. Divided in 3 levels, the temple is made up of the Kamadhatu (world of desire), Rupadhatu (world of forms), and Arupadhatu (world of formlessness). The top tier is representative of the highest form of inner peace called Nirvana, or a transcendent state of nothingness and absolute content.
On Vesak, or Buddha Day, devotees make a pilgrimage by starting at the bottom level and making their way around the monument through a series of unique passageways.
Borobudur was rediscovered in 1815, buried under mounds of rock and ash. Starting 1970, the Indonesian government worked closely with UNESCO to fully restore the temple to its former glory. This project took eight years to complete.
To experience Borobudur's one of a kind sunrise, arrive at Manohara Hotel by 3:30AM. Guides take people in batches–the first batch typically gets the better "seats".

Register at the lobby and you will receive a ticket with two stubs. Make sure you hold on to these so you can avail of complimentary snacks at the café after the tour.
What I found peculiar was the lack of a dress code prior to visiting the temple. Normally, visitors are required to cover their lower extremities as a sign of respect since this is a sacred Buddhist sanctuary.
RATES (Indonesia Rupiah)
Foreigner: IDR 450,000
Local: IDR 270,000
Guide: IDR 50,000
Along with your ticket, you'll receive a handy flashlight, which you will return by the end of the tour in exchange for a special souvenir!
The walk to the top will take around 15-20 minutes, but may take longer depending on the "traffic". The passages are quite narrow and steep, so take extra care and be patient with the people in front of you.
Sunrise begins at around 5:26AM. When you've finally found a good spot, I implore you to sit back and take in the moment. Often times, we find ourselves wanting to take the best picture while forgetting to look and admire the actual subject.
By 6AM, the area is fully lit and you'll have ample time to explore the rest of the temple.
The view from the top is unlike anything I have seen before–it's so unreal. While the history behind Borobudur was foreign to me at the time, the sheer beauty of the site instilled a profound sense of understanding for its place in the world. And may I mention that our guide was nowhere to be found?
I can't blame our guide for being all over the place. The sheer number of visitors to the temple is bound to be overwhelming.
We only got to stay at the temple for a few hours, which simply is not enough time to appreciate its intricacies.
Prior to visiting Indonesia, I perceived the country to be vastly Islamic and conservative. The fact that a Buddhist temple is maintained as a national treasure in a Muslim country truly altered my perception.
According to the locals, Borobudur is less populated during weekdays (i.e. Sundays to Fridays). That doesn't mean you won't have people still walking into your shots, however.
The temple has seen a huge increase in visitors over the years. While policies exist to protect the site from damage, vandalism and natural disasters contribute to the monument's further deterioration.
These walls were painted with white plaster, called Varjalepa, and bright colors before wearing out through the centuries. Archeologists made this discovery after finding fragments of blue, red, green, black, and gold leaf, at the site.
There are a total of 72 perforated Stupa (the dome-shaped structures) that house a Buddha with various Mudra (prayer poses) that represent the Five Dhyani Buddhas.
The Stupa's design strongly reflects the Buddhist concept of Nirvana by pointing towards Heaven.
Note: Do not climb or sit on the Stupa or be promptly chided by the caretakers. Remember the significance of what you're using as a "chair".
I am in awe at how these structures have withstood the test of time, even after centuries of neglect prior to the temple's rediscovery.
Of the 504 original Buddhas, 300 are damaged (headless), while 42 are missing. Many of the heads have turned up in places like the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam and The British Museum in London.
When the tour is done, you will head down to Manohara Societea Cafe for some local snacks. This is where the 2nd stub of your ticket will be collected.
We enjoyed hot ginger tea, Indonesian coffee, Pishang Goreng (fried banana with cheddar cheese), and Serabi (a Javanese cake made with rice flour and coconut milk; it is typically doused with sugar syrup for taste).
The Pishang Goreng is similar to the Filipino Maruya, but is made better with cheese!
Credit to Aileen Adalid for posing.
In spite of the inevitable commercialization of Borobudur from Buddhist Temple to tourist site, it was still such a humbling experience for me. The sense of wonder I had for the place is enough to keep me coming back to Borobudur.
OAP personally thanks Indonesia Travel for helping tick off another the item from our bucket list.
Indonesia, you are truly wonderful!

RATES AT BOROBUDUR
Taken from www.wikitravel.org. Sentences were modified for brevity.
The nearest larger airports are Yogyakarta's Adisucipto International Airport (IATA: JOG) and Solo's Adisumarmo International Airport (IATA: SOC). Both handle domestic flights and some international connections to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. AirAsia flies from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to Yogyakarta daily.
Another option would be to visit Borobudur on a day trip from Bali or Jakarta.You can also visit via Semarang to Borobudur. There are direct flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to Semarang with AirAsia.
The buses to Borobudur leave from the Jombor bus terminal. You can get to the Jombor bus terminal by taxi or bus. The Trans-Jogja busses 2B and 2A (IDR 3,600) runs from central Yogyakarta to Jombor bus terminal in northern Yogyakarta, where you can change to another bus to get to Borobudur Bus Terminal.
The bus to Borobudur takes about 60-90 minutes and costs IDR 25,000 one way (pay on the bus). The bus will stop at Muntilan Bus Terminal in between for around 10-15 min. From the Borobudur Bus Terminal, you walk 5 minutes to the south and reach the temple's parking lot.
When you arrive, exit the bus station and turn left (away from the arch-like structure on the main road). The temple is only 100m away.
Borobudur is about 60 to 90 minutes north of Yogyakarta by car, depending on traffic condition as the roads from Yogyakarta to Borobudur can be very congested during daytime. A taxi from central Yogyakarta to Borobudur costs around IDR 200,000, and fixed price taxis from Yogyakarta airport are IDR 190,000.
Try Central Java Transporters for starters.

The inward light is forever striving to gather enough additional light to penetrate the fog of our senses. ~Henry Stanley Haskins, "Metapsychics," Meditations in Wall Street, 1940
Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way. ~Florence Scovel Shinn, "Intuition or Guidance," The Game of Life and How to Play It, 1925
Instinct selects the best method first, reason last. ~James Lendall Basford (1845–1915), Seven Seventy Seven Sensations, 1897
Reasoning at every step he treads,
Man yet mistakes his way,
While meaner things, whom instinct leads,

~William Cowper, "The Doves"
Intuition... is innate, or integral. Education may develop, but it can not create, this faculty. It rises from beneath, like the sun, and, like it, shines over the horizon of Reason.

The sense of subtile feeling often outwits reason in its unerring measurement of truth. ~James Lendall Basford (1845–1915), Seven Seventy Seven Sensations, 1897
The metaphoric mind is a maverick. It is as wild and unruly as a child. It follows us doggedly and plagues us with its presence as we wander the contrived corridors of rationality. It is a metaphoric link with the unknown called religion that causes us to build cathedrals — and the very cathedrals are built with rational, logical plans. When some personal crisis or the bewildering chaos of everyday life closes in on us, we often rush to worship the rationally-planned cathedral and ignore the religion. Albert Einstein called the intuitive or metaphoric mind a sacred gift. He added that the rational mind was a faithful servant. It is paradoxical that in the context of modern life we have begun to worship the servant and defile the divine. ~Bob Samples, The Metaphoric Mind: A Celebration of Creative Consciousness, 1976 [quoteinvestigator.com]
Intuition, my trustworthy friend... ~Terri Guillemets
I suspect we have internal senses. The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial; and we have also a mind's ear. To say nothing of dreams, one certainly can listen to one's own thoughts, and hear them, or believe that one hears them: the strongest argument adducible in favour of our hearing any thing. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827

Q: Can a battery produce more amperes as per Ohm's law? Ohm's law says I = V/R. So let's say I take a 9V battery and attach 1Ω  resistance across the terminals. So the current running across will be 9A. But the battery rating says only 500mAh. So are there actually 9A running across it? My simple AC switch put on 220V AC line has 5A rating, then how can a 9V battery deliver such amperage? I never understand the concept of ampere. Without attaching any circuit to a voltage source can we tell the amperage of the source?

A: your calculation 9V / 1 Ohm = 9 Ampere is correct (only) for an ideal voltage source. A battery is a real-world item. Real-world items are generally not ideal.
A reasonable approximation of a 9V battery is a 9V voltage source with a series resistor (a few ohms to a few tenths of ohms, depending on the type of battery, check for instance http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Battery-internal-resistance).
The 500mah you refer to is the amount of energy the battery can deliver during its life time: 500mA for one hour, or 50mA for 10 hours, or 5mA for 100 hours, etc. This too is an approximation: at the higher currents the lifetime will be shortened, and at very low currents the self-discharge of the battery will dominate.

A: The existing answers are correct and cover the real world situations well but seem to have very quickly dismissed the ideal theoretically perfect world which is always easier to learn.
Your battery is 9V, you put 1 ohm across it.
As ohms law says that will give you a current of 9 Amps assuming a perfect battery.
The battery capacity rating is 500mAh. That means 500mA or 0.5A for 1 hour. We are taking 9 Amps or 18 times that much so the battery will last for 60/18 = 3.3 minutes before being completely drained.
So with a theoretically perfect battery of the type you describe you would indeed get 9A flowing for 3 minutes 20 seconds after which the battery will be dead.
In the real world the battery won't be ideal.
It will have an internal resistance which will limit the current flow and is relying on a chemical process to generate that voltage, there will be rate limits and other physical considerations to that process which can normally be ignored but start to have an impact at high currents. All of which means in the real world you won't get 9 Amps but you would probably get over 5 A and still drain the battery in a couple of minutes.
Your 220V AC line is rated at 5A for safety rather than capability reasons, pulling a large current through a wire will heat up the wire which beyond the obvious fire risks can have all sorts of other nasty effects like spot welding switch contacts closed so you can't turn them off again.
The 220V AC into my house is split between lots of difference circuits, some of them are rated at 40A, some at 5A. It's all the same 220V, the difference between them is how thick the wires are and how large the switch contacts are.
Something that can handle large currents will generally be larger, heavier and more expensive. If all you need is enough power for a light bulb you may as well use parts rated for 5A and add a fuse or circuit breaker to ensure you don't accidentally go over that rather than ensuring everything on that wire is designed to cope with 40A currents.
For another example a car battery is 12V but is designed to be able to deliver several hundred amps. They can do this because the internal construction and chemistry is very different to that of a 9V battery.
To answer your final question, how do you determine the amperage of a source? There are a few key factors:
The internal resistance of the source. All voltage sources are modeled as a theoretically perfect voltage source and a small series resistance. At low currents that resistance can be ignored, at high currents it will limit the maximum output current and cause the output voltage to drop. A 9V battery has a relatively high internal resistance, a car battery has a very low one meaning that at high currents the car battery can deliver a lot more power.
Thermal/chemical limits on the source. Batteries are chemical devices, the chemistry and physical construction will often limit the maximum performance. For things like wall power supplies the limits will be the maximum power limits of the components used, these will normally be based on how much power you can put through the components before they get too hot. (For wall supplies the limit may also be how much current before the internal resistance causes the output voltage to drop too low)
The quality of the connections available. You aren't going to be able to pull 100A through a little spring terminal and narrow wire as used on an typical AA battery holder no matter how good your voltage source is, they will melt. Take a look at the connections to a car battery, 1cm diameter cables attached with large screwed on clamps, that's what you need for very high currents. Generally most portable power sources are designed such that this isn't the limiting factor however for things like domestic power distribution the quality of the cabling is often the limiting factor (with a very large safety margin built in).

A: You are confusing the actual current value flowing into a circuit and the maximum amperage rating of a (real, non-ideal) voltage source.
Any practical voltage generator has physical limits on its maximum current output. A battery is no exception. To know its limits you should read its technical specifications (the battery's datasheet, for example).
Therefore, a battery rated for 1A maximum, can provide any current below 1A, provided it is attached to a resistor of suitable value (according to Ohm's law).
Moreover, as @RogerRowland already pointed out in a comment, a battery, as any other real voltage source, has an internal resistance, so you should also take that into account. That means that if you connect an external load whose resistance is comparable to the internal resistance, you will experience a voltage drop at the terminals: the source won't provide its nominal voltage in this case, but a lower value.
As @WouterVanOijen already said in its answer, the Ah rating of a battery, technically called capacity of the battery, is a whole different story: it is an indication of the energy stored in the battery.
As a rule of thumb, you could use the capacity rating as a rough estimation of the maximum current the battery can provide (when fully charged): a battery with 500mAh capacity can provide 500mA for an hour continuously (or less, over a longer time span). This is called a 1C discharge rate (where 1C means "1 times the Capacity").
A fully charged battery can always provide currents that are below 1C (in the example 0.5C would mean 250 mA), but for higher current you may be at risk of overloading the battery.
Beware: as I said, this is is only a rule of thumb, though. Whether or not a battery will handle discharge rates greater than 1C must be checked for in its datahseet.
See, for example, the datasheet of a Duracell coppertop AA cell.
Some excerpts:

In this case the internal resistance will be 120mΩ when fully charged (internal resistance increases as the battery discharges).
Keep in mind that the same capacity concept is a bit blurry, since the capacity rating depends on the load conditions. See for example the following graph from that datasheet, which assumes a load that draws a constant current regardless of the voltage applied (so it is not a simple resistor, but in this case calculations are easier, as you'll see):

Considering the rightmost curve, corresponding to a 100mA discharge current, you see that the number of "service hours" varies according to which cut-off voltage you choose, i.e. the voltage at which you consider your battery dead.
If you choose your cut-off voltage to be 1.3V (red lines) your product will run for about 7h, so the cell sports a capacity of 7h×100mA=700mAh.
If, on the other hand, you choose your cut-off voltage to be 1.0V (green lines) your product will run for about 24h, so the cell sports a capacity of 24h×100mA=2400mAh.
You may also see that the leftmost curve corresponds to a 1000mA discharge rate and it is the maximum for which that cell is characterized. Although the datasheet doesn't explicitly say "max current=...", we can safely infer that that is the maximum current that the cell can deliver continuously without being overloaded. Note that I said continuously: a cell is able to provide higher current spikes for limited time (but in our example above nothing can be inferred from the datasheet about "pulse loads").
Note also that the case of a purely resistive load is covered by another graph:

The calculation of the capacity here is more difficult, since you would need to derive a graph of current vs time and perform an integral on it (i.e. the sum of the products ΔI×Δt over the time interval for which the voltage is above cut-off). This difficulty comes from the fact that for a pure resistive load the current varies with time as the voltage slowly decreases due to discharging.
Finally, see that the discharge curves (and so the capacity) vary also with temperature. Here that datasheet provide only what happens for a 100mA discharge rate:

You can see that at 0°C the discharge is more rapid (less capacity): 100mA×16h=1600mAh@0°C vs 100mA×24h=2400mAh@21°C.
Therefore this kind of cell is better suited for operation at room temperature.

Q: Copy assignment operator in CRTP - gcc vs clang and msvc The following code (see this question) results in an error when compiled by gcc 8.2, but is accepted by clang 7.0.0 and msvc 15.9.0 preview 3:
template<typename T>
struct B
{
    void operator=(const T&) { }
    void foo() { }
};

struct D : public B<D>
{
    using B<D>::operator=;
    using B<D>::foo;       // hidden by D::foo
    void foo() { }
};

int main()
{
    D d1, d2;
    d1 = d2;
    d1.foo();
    return 0;
}

The error message generated by gcc is:

<source>: In function 'int main()':
<source>:8:8: error: 'constexpr D& D::operator=(const D&)' cannot be overloaded with 'void B<T>::operator=(const T&) [with T = D]'
struct D : public B<D>
       ^
<source>:4:8: note: previous declaration 'void B<T>::operator=(const T&) [with T = D]'
  void operator=(const T&) { }
       ^~~~~~~~

We have two assignment operators in D, the first one is the default-generated, the second one is introduced with using. They have the same signature, so the overloading fails. But why is operator= from the base class simply not hidden by the one in the derived, as it happens for the foo() member function?
What is going on here? Why only gcc complains? Should it complain?

A: GCC is wrong here: this is specially called out as a situation where no overloading occurs.  (Neither does it happen for other member functions, of course, as you said.)

Taking Learning Outcomes to the Gym: An Assignment- Based Approach to Developing and Assessing Learning Outcomes
While there has been great interest and progress in terms of defining core learning outcomes related to the completion of various postsecondary programs, there has been far less progress in terms of elucidating powerful ways to assess these outcomes. Without clear assessment methods it is difficult to see how one could perform course or program redesign with these learning objectives in mind.
To date, attempts to address this "assessment of learning outcomes" gap have focused mostly on the use of qualitative tools that are given to students as they leave some institution or program, tools like the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) questionnaire or the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) index. But these tools rely on subjective report, are often difficult to administer repeatedly at scale, and typically only provide an "after education" snapshot of learning. This report highlights and validates a different assignment- based approach that has much greater potential to provide quantitative data with much higher resolution.
The relationship between siblings' college choices: Evidence from one million SAT-taking families
Recent empirical work has demonstrated the importance both of educational peer effects and of various factors that affect college choices. We connect these literatures by highlighting a previously unstudied determinant of college choice, namely the college choice made by one's older sibling. Data on 1.6 million sibling pairs of SAT-takers reveals that younger and older sib- lings' choices are very closely related. One-fifth of younger siblings enroll in the same college as their older siblings. Compared to their high school classmates of similar academic skill and with observably similar families, younger siblings are about 15–20 percentage points more likely to enroll in 4-year colleges or highly competitive colleges if their older siblings do so first. These
findings vary little by family characteristics. Younger siblings are more likely to follow the college choices of their older siblings the more they resemble each other in terms of academic skill, age and gender. We discuss channels through which older siblings' college choices might causally influence their younger siblings, noting that the facts documented here should prompt
further research on the sharing of information and shaping of educational preferences within families.
Caring for Your Employees: Fostering Positive Emotions in the Digital Workplace
Strategies for recruiting employees and keeping them engaged have long been based around practical rewards like pay increases, bonuses or flexible working hours, attempting to cater to employees' rational, business side. But this approach often leaves out a key consideration which informs every human action: our emotional connection to one another. Whether part of a traditional or virtual team, feelings-based personal relationships in the workplace have the greatest impact on employee engagement. When employees connect to their immediate supervisor in this way, they become more engaged with their role, working more effectively, staying with the company long-term, and acting as ambassadors for their organization.
Clinical Teaching of Interprofessional Child Development Assessment Skills in a Large Group Setting
Continuous advances in health care and technology are contributing to a longer life expectancy. Institute of
Medicine (IOM) (2001). One major downside of this situation is that chronic conditions are now becoming the leading cause of illness, disability and mortality. Globally, many health care ministries are realizing the advantages of having health care professionals from different professions working together to provide interprofessional care as the most efficient and effective
means of supporting patients with chronic or complex needs (Russell et al. 2009). Our project focused on the needs of children with developmental disabilities, specifically Down syndrome and autism. Both of these chronic conditions benefit from teams of health professionals working collaboratively to provide integrated, efficient care for families. Although there is a wealth of
clinical expertise in this specialty, educating large groups of undergraduate health sciences students to provide interprofessional care in a busy pediatric setting is not feasible, nor is it feasible to train a two year- old child to simulate such a patient. In this research report, we have considered the feasibility of teaching large groups of interprofessional health
sciences students in a pediatric setting, while concurrently evaluating students' understanding of how interprofessional teams function. Our study compared a series of facilitated and non-facilitated video vignettes demonstrating a well-functioning interprofessional pediatric team while it assessed one child with Down syndrome and one child with autism.

Double Jeopardy? Gender Bias Against Women of Color in Science
THE PAUCITY OF WOMEN IN SCIENCE HAS BEEN documented over and over again . A 2012 Report from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology reported that a deficit of one million engineers and scientists will result in the United States if current rates of training in science, technology, math, and engineering (STEM) persist (President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, 2012) . It's not hard to see how this hurts the United States' competitive position—particularly if women in STEM meet more gender bias in the U .S . than do women elsewhere, notably in India and China .

For over a century, the central goals of Canada's Aboriginal policy were to eliminate Aboriginal governments; ignore Aboriginal rights; terminate the Treaties; and, through a process of assimilation, cause Aboriginal peoples to cease to exist as distinct legal, social, cultural, religious, and racial entities in Canada. The establishment and operation of residential schools were a central element of this policy, which can best be described as "cultural genocide." Physical genocide is the mass killing of the members of a targeted group, and biological genocide is the destruction of the group's reproductive capacity. Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group. States that engage in cultural genocide set out to destroy the political and social institutions of the targeted group. Land is seized, and populations are forcibly transferred and their movement is restricted. Languages are banned. Spiritual leaders are persecuted, spiritual practices are forbidden, and objects of spiritual value are confiscated and destroyed. And, most significantly to the issue at hand, families are disrupted to prevent the transmission of cultural values and identity from one generation to the next.
La voie de la réussite
Selon les estimations du Conference Board du Canada, la pénurie de compétences entraîne un manque à gagner annuel de 4,7 G$ pour le PIB de la Colombie Britannique et de 616 M$ pour les recettes fiscales provinciales.
• Le Conference Board a mené une enquête auprès de 854 employeurs de Colombie Britannique – ce qui couvre plus de 130 000 employés, soit 9 % des employés de la province – afin de connaître les compétences, les professions et les diplômes qui
leur sont nécessaires pour répondre à leurs besoins actuels et futurs.
• Il existe beaucoup de choses que les employeurs, les éducateurs, les gouvernementset les particuliers, notamment les étudiants, peuvent faire pour résoudre la pénurie ou l'inadéquation des compétences et préparer la Colombie Britannique à saisir les nouveaux débouchés qui lui permettront d'exploiter pleinement son potentiel économique.
Navigating Post-secondary Education in Canada: The Challenge of a Changing Landscape
As Canada's youth consider their increasingly broad and complex array of post-secondary education (PSE) options, they are faced with potentially costly decisions. Moreover, they often do not have the information they need to make appropriate choices, which can negatively impact their participation and persistence in PSE. For many students, it is a challenge to choose,
design and follow a post-secondary pathway to its conclusion without deviating from their original plan. Students are increasingly taking non-linear pathways through PSE. Some may need to relocate and attend a different institution. Many students may decide to change the focus of their study, while others may wish to change their program entirely. Some may shift their goals from academic to applied forms of study, or vice versa. However, the structures of post-secondary systems in our provinces, and the various mechanisms that bind them, do not always provide clearly apparent and unobstructed pathways for students, particularly for mobile students. These problems are exacerbated by shifting mandates, roles, and labels of institutions across the Canadian PSE sector.
The Community College as Entrepreneurial Catalyst
While community colleges have existed more than a century, their role began to shift in the late 1940s from primarily serving as a transfer/junior college to that of supporting the greater community in addressing the need for highly skilled talent required by a 21st century economy. Community colleges remain a vehicle to transfer students to "senior" colleges and universities, but also provide an essential bridge to employment in local communities and beyond. As a result, community colleges are now major players in providing businesses with the talent they need to compete in local, regional, and national economies.
The "Other" University Teachers: Non-Full-Time Instructors at Ontario Universities
There is a growing body of research demonstrating that there have been major changes in the work and working conditions of university teachers in many countries over the last few decades. In some cases this has led to the increasing employment of non-full-time university instructors, and questions have been raised, especially in the United States, concerning the working conditions of part-time faculty and the implications of these changes on educational quality. The number of full-time faculty at Ontario universities has not increased at the same pace as the massive growth in student enrolment, raising questions about whether universities have employed non-full-time faculty in larger numbers and whether the balance between full-time and non-full-time instructors is changing. However, very little empirical research has been conducted on non-full-time instructors in Ontario. This study offers a preliminary exploration of the issue by addressing four key questions:
a) What categories of non-full-time instructors are employed by Ontario universities?
b) What are the conditions of employment for non-full-time instructors?
c) Has the number of non-full-time instructors employed by Ontario universities changed over time?
d) Has the ratio of full-time to non-full-time instructors employed by Ontario universities changed over time?
The research method focused on the collection and analysis of publicly available information through a detailed review of collective agreements and related documentation, and the analysis of institutional data on employment. Most institutions do not report data on non-full-time instructor appointments.
Accountability: Antecedents, Power, and Processes
Epitomized by the OECDs Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the US governments Race to the Top,
accountability is becoming a pervasive normalizing discourse, legitimizing historic shifts from viewing education as a social and cultural to an economic project engendering usable skills and competences. The purpose of this special issue is to provide context and perspective on these momentous shifts. The papers point to historic antecedents, highlight core ideas, and identify changes in the balance of power between domestic and global policy makers.
An Evaluation of Course Evaluations
Student ratings of teaching have been used, studied, and debated for almost a century. This article examines student ratings of teaching from a statistical perspective. The common practice of relying on averages of student teaching evaluation scores as the primary measure of teaching effectiveness for promotion and tenure decisions should be abandoned for substantive and statistical reasons: There is strong evidence that student responses to questions of "effectiveness" do not measure teaching effectiveness. Response rates and response variability matter. And comparing averages of categorical responses, even if the categories are represented by numbers, makes little sense. Student ratings of teaching are valuable when they ask the right questions, report response rates and score distributions, and are balanced by a variety of other sources and methods to evaluate teaching.
Election 2015: Closing Canada's Indigenous education gap
Universities have a major role to play in closing Canada's Indigenous education gap and supporting the reconciliation process. The Indigenous community in Canada is young, full of potential and growing fast – but still underrepresented at universities across the country. Our shared challenge is to ensure that all First Nations, Métis and Inuit students can achieve their potential through education, which will bring meaningful change to their communities and to Canada as a whole.
Faculty At Work A Preliminary Report on Faculty Work at Ontario's Universities, 2010-2012
Excellent postsecondary education is critical to success in the 21st century—for both individuals and societies. In addition to delivering clear economic returns, higher learning is linked to improved outcomes in areas ranging from health to civic engagement.
Enrolment in Ontario universities has grown by 59% over the past decade. This surging demand tells us that students understand and want to access the benefits of higher education.
Increased university enrolment, carrying the promise of a more adaptive and prosperous society, is great news for Ontario. It also presents a challenge: universities are called to serve thousands more students while maintaining high levels of quality and accessibility, all in a context of constrained resources.
Seven Legitimate Apprehensions about Evaluating Teacher Education Programs and Seven "Beyond Excuses" Imperatives
Background: Via the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA), stronger accountability proponents are now knocking on the doors of the colleges of education that prepare teachers and, many argue, prepare teachers ineffectively. This is raising questions about how effective and necessary teacher education programs indeed are. While research continues to evidence that teachers have a large impact on student achievement, the examination of teacher education programs is a rational backward mapping of understanding how teachers impact students. Nonetheless, whether and how evaluations of teacher education programs should be conducted isyet another hotly debated issue in the profession.
State Disinvestment in Higher Education Has Led to an Explosion of Student-Loan Debt
It has been well documented that the nation's public colleges, universities, community colleges, and career training centers significantly boost the economic mobility of students who pursue and complete degrees and credentials after high school. The skills students acquire at these higher-education institutions lead to jobs that pay a wage premium in a modern economy. However, for many students, families, and society as a whole, decreasing state investments and increasing student-loan debt is threatening the value of a public postsecondary education—that is to say, the idea that a degree or credential beyond high school will deliver on the promise of a higher standard of living. To make sure that higher education attainment leads to improved outcomes for graduates, it is crucial that national policy choices ensure that public colleges remain affordable for
low- and moderate-income Americans and student-loan debt does not overly burdened graduates as they prepare for the workforce.
The Patterns of Persistence in Post-Secondary Education Among College Students in Ontario: New Evidence from Longitudinal Data
This paper reports the results of an analysis of persistence in post-secondary education (PSE) for college students in Ontario based on the extremely rich YITS-B dataset that has been used for other recent studies at the national level. We calculate hazard or transition rates (and cumulative transition rates) with respect to those who i) graduate, ii) switch programs, and
iii) leave PSE (perhaps to return later). We also look at the reasons for switching and leaving, subsequent re-entry rates among leavers, and graduation and persistence rates once switchers and re-entrants are taken into account. These patterns are then probed in more detail using hazard (regression) models where switching and leaving are related to a variety of individual
characteristics, family background, high school outcomes, and early pse experiences. Student pathways are seen to be varied. Perhaps the single most important finding is that the proportion of students who either obtain a degree or continue to be enrolled somewhere in the PSE system in the years after entering a first program remains close to the 80 percent mark for the five years following entry. Seventy-one percent of students graduate within five years of starting, while another 6 percent are still in the PSE system.
The promise and the myths of e-learning in post-secondary education Tony Bates
impact on education at all levels. In the past, new technologies such as the telephone, radio, television, cassettes, satellites, and computers were all predicted to bring about a revolution in education. However, after the initial hype, these new technologies left a marginal impact on the general practice of education, each finding a niche, but not changing the essential process of a teacher
personally interacting with learners.
However, the Internet and, especially, the World Wide Web are different, both in the scale and the nature of their impact on education. Certainly, the web has penetrated teaching and learning much more than any other previous technology, with the important exception of the printed book. Indeed, it is possible to see parallels between the social and educational influence of both mechanically printed books and the Internet on post-secondary education, and these parallels will be explored a little further in this chapter.
The application of the Internet to teaching and learning has had both strong advocates and equally strong critics. Electronic learning has been seized upon as the next commercial development of the Internet, a natural extension of ecommerce.
John Chambers, the CEO of the giant American Internet equipment company, Cisco, described education as the next Internet "killer application" at the Comdex exhibition in Las Vegas in 2001 (Moore and Jones, 2001). Chambers linked several concepts together: e-learning is necessary to improve the quality of education; e-learning is necessary to improve the quality of the workforce; and a highly qualified technology workforce is essential for national economic development and competitiveness.

How can I update reserved.information.player_id from 8ffb69ce-9a6b-44a6-8e8f-c069235d2d31 to 12345?
In Ruby this is a trivial change because of mutability but I'm having trouble finding the best way to update it in Elixir.
Current attempt (not working)
Map.put(map, :player_id, "053600fb-3aae-422f-a9cb-9d102cca301f")

This doesn't work because it just adds the player_id to first level of the map.

A: Use Kernel.put_in/3:
input = %{
  reserved: %{
    information: %{player_id: 42}
  }
}

put_in(input, ~w|reserved information player_id|a, -1)
#⇒ %{reserved: %{information: %{player_id: -1}}}

Whether you want to change/adjust the value instead of simply putting the new one, use Kernel.get_and_update_in/3. For the latter to work with structs, this struct should implement Access behaviour.

In this multi-part series, Kevin Kline tells you about the free monitoring tools that ship in the native SQL Server toolkit.
I've worked with a lot of database platforms over the years -- everything from Oracle to DB2 UDB, MySQL to PostgreSQL, Sybase to SQL Server. One of the things I've always enjoyed about SQL Server is the genuine ease of administration that Microsoft has built into its native toolkit.
But the ease of administration Microsoft provides for us is a two-edged sword in my experience. Why, you ask? Because the sheer number of servers that a single, skilled database administrator can manage is much greater for SQL Server than it is for most other database platforms. I'm not sure exactly how many servers the average SQL Server DBA supports, but after talking to a lot of people at conferences, webinars and user group get-togethers, I would guess that the average enterprise DBA supports between 16 and 30 servers each.
In my former life as a SQL Server DBA at one of the Big 4 accounting firms, we supported around 140 servers with just three DBAs. How did we scale up to such a high number of servers per DBA? In a nutshell, there were two secret ingredients in our administrative recipe. First, we automated every process that we could. Second, we standardized every aspect of our servers and kept them rigorously similar with a strong change-management system.
This native monitoring feature, called event forwarding, is not used very often in the field, from my experience. In fact, it's rather hard to find within the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager interface. Yet, it's quite handy and effective for many monitoring situations.
Centralization: It gives a centralized and consolidated view of the events of many SQL Server instance. A single point of control.
Scalability: It allows administering many physical servers as one logical server. Add or remove servers to this physical server group as needed.
Efficiency: It saves time spent configuring new servers because alerts and operators are defined only once on the central server. Configure SQL Mail only once and maintain it at only one location.
Increased traffic: Forwarded events increase network traffic to the central server.
Increased server load: Processing the forwarded events of other servers causes a bigger processing load on the central server.
In the next part of this series of articles, I'll describe how to set up your central event-forwarding server. Plus, I'll provide a number of tips about how to maximize event forwarding on the remote, monitored servers.

Edmond Keohan is one of the best known of the old Dungarvan Photographers. He was from Tramore. The first mention of him in Dungarvan appears in Slater's Directory of 1879 where he is listed as a confectioner of Main Street.
According to an advert in his 'History of Dungarvan' the business was established in 1875 at 17 Main Street. He probably started doing photography in the 1880's as a part time activity. He advertised his photographic studio 'now open' in the Munster Express on 1st February 1896. His main business at the end of the 19th century consisted of a news agency, stationers and auctioneers. Much of his work was in portraiture but in his spare time he photographed Dungarvan's streets and buildings and set off on his bike to photograph the surrounding countryside. He also did documentary work recording events as they happened.
He published a number of books including an album of views of Dungarvan and district, a booklet on Abbeyside Castle 'Abbeyside Castle (Historical & Descriptive Sketch)' 1916, printed by the Waterford News.
He had a great interest in local history and wrote the first history of Dungarvan in 1924: 'Illustrated History of Dungarvan', Waterford News, 1924. An original first copy of the book is on display in the museum at present. It has much useful information especially on the 'Troubles' and many interesting photos. He also produced a number of postcards of local views and events.

Decreasing transmission power with antenna-based focused radiation power
Thomas Bressner defended his PhD at the department of Electrical Engineering on March 15th.

Smartphones and mobile telecommunication system are now part of everyday life. But with an increasing number of devices using mobile communication services, approaches are needed to deal with interference, power usage, and allow more users to access the network. For his PhD research, Thomas Bressner shows that mobile communications system can benefit from high-gain antennas to partition the mobile telecommunication cell with a fixed-beam configuration.
In communication systems, there are benefits to using high-gain antennas. For example, high antenna gain can be achieved with a single element and does not require additional beamforming hardware. Furthermore, an increased antenna gain can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
There may be a disadvantage with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems though as increased antenna gain can lead to limited field of view. For his research, Thomas Bressner evaluated the performance of antenna systems, e.g. data rate, by comparing different antenna systems with narrow and wide single element beams. The main finding from the research is that using high-gain antennas in a fixed-beam configuration can decrease power consumption and provide high-data rates for millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) communications.
Thomas Bressner.
Importance of beam shape
Depending on the requirements, a more flexible phased-array with beamforming circuitry or a fixed-beam high-gain antenna system can be used to reduce hardware complexity. For example, a low-hardware complexity solution for a fixed-beam approach is the use of horn antenna elements designed with a specific beam shape to provide better coverage.
To achieve this, Bressner developed a multi-lens-horn (MLH) antenna system, which uses dual-polarised compact high-gain lens-horn antenna elements. For the development, a detailed system-level study is performed to identify the beam shapes and their pointing directions for optimal fixed-beam coverage with a limited number of antenna elements. Three beam shapes are identified, and the corresponding lens-horn antennas are designed using a full-wave simulation tool. The antenna elements are then made, measured, and included in the system simulation in this research, where a good agreement between simulated and measured data is observed.

Single-input single-output
The performance of the antenna system designs is analyzed for so-called single-input single-output (SISO) and MIMO mode. The outcome shows that a good signal separation between two users with a small spatial distance is possible. Furthermore, statistics for all three transmission techniques demonstrate that zero-forcing is the most significant advantage when multiple users are active on the network at the same time.
Although it is shown that the high-gain antenna system for a fixed-beam configuration can be realized and good performances are achieved while keeping the transmit power low, the mm-Wave feeding to the antenna can be quite lossy (experience dissipation of electrical energy).
A solution for the lossy issues is the combination of a radio-over-fiber (RoF) and the antenna system developed by Bressner. To show that such a system has favorable data rates, an RoF fed narrow-beam antenna system is proposed in collaboration with the electro-optical communications (ECO) Group. The measurements show that data rates of 1.4 Gbit/s for different beam steering angles are possible.

New York Times Eyes Apple Tablet Potential
Tablet PCs, including Apple's long-rumored model, could prove a compelling way for newspapers to deliver content.
Sep 30, 2009 4:34 PM EDT
Updated with background information on the Times' Tablet plans and share information for Gannett and The New York Times.
NEW YORK (
) -- As newspaper stocks slowly
from the economic downturn, the
(NYT) - Get New York Times Company Class A Report
is eyeing the next big thing in consumer technology, Tablet computers, as a way to boost readership.
, which are small, portable, computers have been generating plenty of buzz this year, thanks largely to
(AAPL) - Get Apple Inc. Report
's eagerly-anticipated Tablet offering.
The touchscreen technology could offer newspaper publishers a new means of delivering content, particularly for gadget freaks and hip, young urbanites. Tablets may even prove key in opening up new revenue streams as newspaper stocks claw their way back after years of falling sales and layoffs.
"We are prototyping concepts that we think would be compelling should a tablet-like device be released by Apple," wrote Diane McNulty, the Times' executive director of media relations, in an email to
. The executive did not provide any additional details about the company's Tablet plans, but confirmed that the company is not working with Apple.
The New York Times has been working on its Tablet project for some time, according to the
Web site, which says that the newspaper's R&D teams have been developing versions of the Times that can be navigated without a keyboard or mouse. Gizmodo says that that these will appear on
(MSFT) - Get Microsoft Corporation Report
Windows Tablets and other formats using
(ADBE) - Get Adobe Inc. Report
's AIR software, which lets developers build Internet applications for multiple operating systems.
Like Apple, Microsoft is also said to be
on a Tablet device; it is rumored that the software giant's
offering will
in mid-2010.
The U.S. newspaper industry is already using new technology to boost flagging readership and, potentially, reduce production costs. The New York Times and the
(WPO)
, for example, have already launched trials offering their content on
Amazon's
(AMZN) - Get Amazon.com, Inc. Report
such as the
Sony's
(SNE) - Get Sony Corp. Report
Reader, however, do not offer color displays, so there could be an opportunity here for richer Tablet-based newspaper content.
Tablets could also help solve one of the biggest challenges newspapers have faced in recent years - how to cope with the exodus of readers and advertisers to the Internet. As this stage, though, it is unclear how companies like the New York Times could monetize their business via Tablets, compared to, say, readers accessing newspaper Web sites on their laptops.
The Times' Tablet plans come at a critical juncture for the newspaper industry, which is now seeing some glimmers of hope after a torrid few years. Earlier this week, for example, newspaper stocks rose after
(GCI) - Get Gannett Co., Inc. Report
, the biggest newspaper publisher in the U.S.,
third-quarter earnings well above Wall Street's low expectations.
Gannett's stock continued its upward trajectory Wednesday, rising 98 cents, or 8.3%, to reach $12.73. Shares of the New York Times, however, fell 18 cents, or 2.15%, to $8.21 during the same period.

Retiree Salary Hike Deemed Discriminatory
June 26, 2002 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - A federal judge has ruled that a New York state school district violated federal antidiscrimination laws by designing compensation plan that would encourage certain teachers to retire.
Fred Schneyer
US District Judge Colleen McMahon said the Board of Education of the Wappingers Central School District violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA).
In dispute was a memorandum signed by both the school district and the union which said that teachers who opted against a $20,000 termination bonus contained in a 1998 union contract were still eligible for an additional $7,000 per year for up to three years.
The memorandum stated that teachers who were eligible but did not accept the $20,000 bonus before the memorandum's date were excluded from participating in the bump-up option.
In order to qualify for the $20,000 payout, teachers had to:
have 15 years of district service,
have 20 years of member service in the New York State Teachers' Retirement System,
be eligible to retire under the New York State Teachers' Retirement System
The issue spilled over into the courts when teachers who were eligible for the termination bonus but who declined it, filed suit alleging the bump-up agreement violated the ADEA and the OWBPA.
Other Teachers Complained
The teachers alleged that by not making the salary hike available to them, the district and the teachers' group discriminated against them because of their age.
Legally, the case centered on whether the temporary salary hike is an incentive or an employee benefit. If considered a benefit, federal laws dictate how companies can make it available to different kinds of workers.
The problem with the bump-up option is that, while "the laws of economics and psychology suggest that people who elect [the option] SHOULD retire at the end of three years," nothing "COMPELS them to retire, and experience tells us that some teachers will not retire," McMahon said in finding that the option was an employee benefit. "However, by giving the teacher the freedom to take the money and run or take the money and stay, the (school) District provided a temporary employment benefit to any individual who elects to continue working. And that violates ADEA."
The case is Abrahamson v. Board of Education of the Wappingers Central School District, S.D.N.Y., No. 01 Civ. 10859 (CM), 6/21/02.

The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. Its About Germany!!
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It's about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Except for the spin off of creating a greater Israel in the Ukraine.
London and Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It's a win-win situation for both parties.
The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don't want Germany to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves.
In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO.
There's also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power.
This is why the Biden administration opposes Nord Stream. It's not just a pipeline, it's a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Babylon is crumbling. Praise Yahweh!!

Since general etiquette is to introduce yourself when signing onto a forum for the first time, I guess I should do so.
I'm Hoomi, a nick I've been using on the internet for something like the last 13 years or so, derived from a play-on-words character name I used in a game many years ago - a phonetic version of, "Who, me?" No other significance than that, even though I learned later that there is some ascended master in certain spiritual philosophies by that same name. I am not an ascended master, and I don't even try to play one on the internet.
I'm 53 years old, and have been happily married to my best friend for over 33 years now. We have two terrific grown children, along with a fantastic son-in-law and a wonderful young woman that is pretty darned close to being a daughter-in-law, though they haven't made anything official yet.
I've been fascinated with sailboats for many years, and finally got my first one a few weeks ago - a 1981 Sunfish, which I've been putting a few repairs into before that upcoming first venture into one of our local lakes. I also picked up a 1959 Snipe a bit over a week ago that is going to be a lot more restoration work (this was a "get it out of my garage and you can have it for free" deal). I figure the Sunfish is a good start on learning both the "fixing up" and the sailing part, and the Snipe will be a good size for both my wife and I to take out and enjoy together. Technically, we could both probably go out in the Sunfish, but I suspect we'd feel rather cramped and in each other's way it its small cockpit.
Anyway, I've been gathering information from books and internet sources, some of which has already been applied (like ordering the swivel camblock from APS to replace the boony-rigged camblock that came with the Sunfish), so I'll likely be haunting the Sunfish section quite a bit.
Welcome to the site! We are glad to have you.

When Are the 2022 Grammys and Where to Watch Them
Who will you be rooting for?
By Rachel UlatowskiApr 2nd, 2022, 3:54 pm
After a two-month delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the biggest night in music is almost here. The 64th Annual Grammys will be awarded in Las Vegas, NV, and will recognize the biggest musical achievements of 2021. Awards will be handed out in 86 categories, with the major categories being Best New Artist, Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year, and Best Song of the Year.
Meanwhile, the Grammys are really shaking things up this year, with the addition of two new and exciting categories: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field). The voting process was also changed, making it so voters can only vote in 10 categories, instead of 15. This ensures that voters are voting in the categories where they have the most knowledge. Additionally, the awards show has an exciting line-up of performances from Grammy nominees. The 2022 Grammys will see performances from BTS, Billie Eilish, Carrie Underwood, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, and many more.
Meanwhile, the stakes this year are pretty high, with viewers especially honing in on Rodrigo. The 19-year old has a strong potential to "sweep" the Grammys this year – meaning she could win all four major categories. Rodrigo's album, Sour, received nominations in the four major categories, as well as three additional nominations. In all of Grammy history, only two other artists have ever swept the Grammys: Christopher Cross in 1981 and Billie Eilish in 2020. However, Rodrigo will face some stiff competition as she is up against nominees such as Eilish, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Lil Nas X, and Silk Sonic.
When are the Grammys and Where to Watch Them
The 2022 Grammys will be held on Sunday April 3rd, at 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST. Viewers who have cable will be able to watch the Grammys live on the CBS Television Network. Additionally, they can also stream the Grammys live from Paramount+. If you don't have Paramount+, the streaming service costs just $4.99 a month (with ads) or $9.99 a month (without adds). Plus, you can get a 7-day free trial if you've never used the service before.
CBS and Paramount+ are the two best options for watching the Grammys. However, YouTube TV, FuboTV, and Hulu with Live TV, also offer access to CBS. This is for the main Grammys Awards Show that begins at 8:00 PM EST. However, there is another portion of the Grammys called the premiere ceremony.
The premiere ceremony stars before the actual awards show. It will take place at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on Sunday April 3rd. This ceremony is basically the Grammys before the Grammys. It will be hosted by LeVar Burton and will present the vast majority of awards in a very short time period. Additionally, it will offer live performances from nominees Madison Cunningham, Falu, Nnenna Freelon, Kalani Pe'a, John Popper, and The Isaacs. This ceremony will be livestreamed on Grammy.com and the Recording Academy's YouTube Channel.

A: Just a vocabulary point : class DatabaseConnection is not a servlet. But you should read (or read again) a good tutorial on JDBC :

*

*you do not correctly test the different operations to properly close what you have opened in case of error

*you do not close what you have opened if things go right

*you copy parameters from the request in an insert query - google around for SQL injection to understand whay you should never do that

*you do not log the result from executeUpdate

*you hide the exception that can occur but writing "Error" instead of the full stacktrace that could help to understand what happens.

You should begin by writing a Junit test to control that you can successfully write to database outside of the servlet context. And only when that part works correctly, you integrate the persistence code with into the web application.

A: remove localhost and try 127.0.0.1 ... it worked for me
