Q: Unification of terms in Prolog I have the follow terms :
T1 = f(f(3,Z,2),f(I,Z,G),Z)

T2 = f(F,f(R,f(5,2),D),f(3,2,F))

I have to unify that terms.
My idea is:
G=(3,Z,2)

I=(5,2)

I=(3,2,F)

I know how to unify in simple examples. Anyone that can shed some light on this one for me ? Thanks

A: Developing intuitions for unification is really valuable, both in and outside of the Prolog world. So I think it is very valuable to spend time learning how to find unifying terms by hand! A wonderful thing about unification is that you can reason through unification of simple terms using your geometric intuition!
Consider this lovely illustration from the wikipedia article on unification for some inspiration:

Given two partial structures, t1 and t2 we can find the unifier by comparing the parts of the structures to match up missing bits in one with present bits in the other. In Prolog, the missing bits to a structure are the variables.
Returning to your question, let's do some ascii art to make the structure of your two terms more apparent.
T1 = f( f(3, R, 2), f(A, R      ,I), A          )
%    |  |           | |  |       |   |
T2 = f( N         , f(E, f(5, 2),S), f(3, 2, N) )

This presents the exact same compound terms, only they are spaced out, and I've added pipes matching up the parts of the terms which must coordinate in order to figure out the unification. Note that the pipes also connect terms which are not variables. This is important, because if there were any mismatched ground terms in the structure then our unification would simply fail.
Reading from left to right, the first variable we encounter is N. Following the pipe, we see that N must be unified with the compound term f(3, R, 3), or else the structures couldn't possible match, and unification would fail. So we know that N = f(3, R, 3).
The next variables that occur are A and E. Indeed, these are coordinated, so we know that A = E, but we don't yet have enough information to say more.
The next variable we see is R. That is coordinated with the compound term f(5, 2), so we must have, R = f(5, 2). This gives us the first unification of a variable with a ground term! Since we know the ground term that must unify with R, we can also fill in the missing hole from our previous unification for N: N = f(3, R, 4) = f(3, f(5, 2) 3).
Continue on in this way, and you'll end up with the same result Prolog will find for you, as illustrated by Daniel Lyons' answer!
May you have much fun in your future unifications :)

A: I'm kind of surprised you didn't just ask Prolog to do it for you:
?- T1 = f(f(3,R,2),f(A,R,I),A), T2 = f(N,f(E,f(5,2),S),f(3,2,N)), T1=T2.
T1 = T2, T2 = f(f(3, f(5, 2), 2), f(f(3, 2, f(3, f(5, 2), 2)), f(5, 2), S), f(3, 2, f(3, f(5, 2), 2))),
R = f(5, 2),
A = E, E = f(3, 2, f(3, f(5, 2), 2)),
I = S,
N = f(3, f(5, 2), 2).

ADL Initiative's conference room was nearing capacity with 57 external participants attending the two-day meeting. A total of 13 organizations were represented on the performer's side and 15 organizations on the stakeholder side. Stakeholders included 22 representatives from the armed forces, 3 representatives from the federal government, and 5 representatives from academia/other.
Additionally, other stakeholders were invited to provide Ignite-Style Presentations. Representatives from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory , Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Marine Corps College of Distance Education and Training , U.S. Army Distributed Learning Program , Department of Education, and University of Memphis briefed the group on their relevant Learning Science and Technology portfolio.
A poster session was held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in the evening on 5 April which was a great opportunity for participants to further explain their projects and portfolios, brainstorm potential collaborative opportunities, and socialize. Both Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Readiness), Dan Feehan, and Director, Force Training, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness, Frank DiGiovanni, attended the poster session.
Overall, the meeting was a huge success. A true test to that sentiment is that many of our government stakeholders expressed a desire to get involved with our BAA projects and follow-on meetings are taking place. Additionally, the momentum has increased towards a FY 2017 TLA demo where each of these individual projects will be integrated together into a larger learning ecosystem.

Climate Change Driving Soil Restoration
[fa icon="calendar'] Jun 25, 2013 10:06:46 AM / by Carol Pierson Holding
By Carol Pierson Holding
With all the noise about reducing fossil fuel emissions – articles, boycotts, lawsuits, PR battles, news stories, even TV advertising – weaning ourselves off fossil fuels can sometimes feel like a hopeless struggle. On the other hand, the idea of pulling existing carbon out of the environment still holds a lot of excitement.
The buzz started with trees. From New York mayor Bloomberg's million trees commitment to Africa's Green Belt Movement, now 51 million trees strong, even school children know about reforestation. NGOs use public pressure to limit deforestation and encourage tree planting. Investment funds that maintain forests rather than cutting them down pay returns based on carbon credits and grants from agencies such as Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, the Global Environment Fund and the UN-REDD Programme in developing countries.
But forests are only one way nature can help mitigate climate change. Another is healthy soil.
The carbon-capturing quality of healthy soil and the carbon release of degraded soil have been mostly the province of science and professionals – the farmers and ranchers whose livelihood depends on productive soil. What's holding soil back from getting the same affection as trees? Maybe it's healthy soil's distinctly unglamorous origins — decaying organic material, animal dung and yes, human excrement.
Soil is a strategic resource that can absorb enough carbon to offset 5-15% of global fossil fuel emissions. On the other hand, soil stripped of organic material and healthy microbes actually gives off heat-trapping CO2. A 2004 study by R. Lal of Ohio State University showed that depleted soil has contributed 21% of global atmospheric carbon.
With our most promising chance for climate mitigation in carbon sinks, our attitude towards soil has to improve.
The first Summit of the Northwest Biocarbon Initiative (NBI) was subtitled "Restoring Nature - Storing Natural Carbon." Keynote speaker David Montgomery, MacArthur Genius and author of Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations argued that only now, seven years after his book was published, is attention to soil becoming a reality. Why? Because the impact of healthy soil on climate change makes the issue topical and personal for our largely urbanized civilization.
The soil buzz has begun in earnest. A recent TED Talk from the African soil restoration guru Allan Savory has gotten 1.7 million views. Savory has been advocating since the 1960s for mixing livestock and crops. Mimicking the way nature developed, with large herds grazing for short periods between which grass can regrow, Savory's method insures that organic matter can restore soil. Savory's Holistic Management method has expanded through the organization that bears his name, the Savory Institute.
The momentum for soil builds, even with consumer audiences. NPR did a twenty-minute segment with Judith Schwarz on her book Cows Save the Planet: Soil's Secrets for Saving the Earth. And conferences like the NBI Summit and the Savory Institute's first international conference being held this week bring together what have been obdurately distinct silos of environmentalism and agriculture. The Institute is also launching its first 10 U.S. training and education hubs. Savory's vision is to have 100 hubs operational by 2025, restoring 2.4 billion acres of desertified or dead soil.
Maurice Robinette, owner of Lazy-R Ranch near Spokane and speaker at the NBI Summit, has been practicing and teaching Holistic Management sessions for 15 years. He told me that among the issues Savory's organization is considering is how to brand the advantages of holistically managed beef — healthier meat from food with more nutrients, healthier soil, healthier environment — with end consumers.
The buzz grows.
There's also a conversation about using treated human waste, or the more palatable "biosolids," as an earth-cooling and soil-healing replacement for chemical fertilizer from companies like Monsanto.
[csrhubwidget company="Monsanto-Company" size="650x100" hash="c9c0f7"]
Using treated waste as natural fertilizer is not a new idea. For 20 years, King County, Washington has been supplying biosolids to farmers in Eastern Washington. But just last year, at the instigation of Jesse Israel of the County's Resource Recovery Section, a new branding effort was launched under the name Loop to expand awareness of biosolids as part of nature's cycle.
The Loop brand features an infinity symbol and the tagline, "Turn Your Dirt Around." A consumer compost product called GroCo carries the logo to indicate the local biosolid ingredient. According to Peggy Leonard, Biosolids Program Manager, "Soil is underappreciated and biosolids are even more underappreciated than soil. It's exciting to see people get excited about the power of soil, and even more so when they see that organic amendments are right under their noses."

a few more goodies and joseph hears!!!
starting the year with a RAFFLE for hope!!
Saw this on several other blogs. Oh it breaks my heart and reminds me why it lives there! Love that A Glimmer of Hope sign is in there (next to girl at water point). Makes me love my little boys a little more and thankful that the Lord has allowed us to partner with Glimmer to prayerfully change those statistics for all living in Dube Bute!
Abe has people. When you are one of them, you know. He has his big smile and then he has the smile reserved only for "his"! It can seriously change your mood and make your day. It can reduce me to tears quicker than anything to see him with one of his peeps.
I didn't grow up with anyone that had significant special needs. I know now that it was my loss. They aren't called "special" for nothing. Because of my experience, I don't take it personally when someone is awkward or unfamiliar with how to approach Abe. I understand it. I love when people will ask direct questions as it gives me a chance to explain what a blessing he is and how the Lord is continuing to work a miracle in him!
While I completely understand those that are uncomfortable, words can never express what happens to this mama's heart when people LOVE my son. Like delight in him, consider it a gift to hold him, talk to him! TO HIM. He knows too. When one of his friends walk in a room, he glows. He kicks his legs and throws his arms wildly in the air!
One of Abe's friends is Chris Webb. Chris and I met our first week of college. Just the greatest guy. Fast forward a few years and he marries a friend of mine from Kanakuk days. As the Lord would graciously do, he moved them to A-town. Chris is a SWAT bad-a in Big D (Hill and Wick are mesmerized by his stories) and Rainey is a DA in Ft. Worth. Arlington was the perfect location for them to move. Right next door to our dear ML and Tommy to be exact.
Chris loves Abe. Abe loves Chris. One night over the break, I looked over my shoulder and found Chris and Abe cuddled up in a big chair. Chris was having some deep conversation with my boy. My boy was simply giddy. I couldn't stop the tears. Is there a greater compliment to a parent than someone loving your kid?? It's even better when that kid is special. Difficult to hold, drools or "spills" as Eyasu says, can't talk back (but will be very vocal with you).
Chris and his team are participating in grueling 26 mile march in honor of the Baatan Death March from World War II and is raising money for Dube Bute in the process. Click here to see his page.
I am often inspired by the strength of others. I stand in awe of people who are able to do things they never imagined were possible. I have felt this way watching our friends the Alexander family step out in faith for this campaign. I see it being used to change the lives of the people of Dube Bute. While I have never stepped foot on African soil, I have met two boys who have stolen my heart. Abe Alexander has been referred to as the "ripple maker" of this project. Without him there would have been not been a second trip to Ethiopia to adopt Eyasu and no discovery of a tiny village with a great need. But this one child has changed the lives of so many. He has for sure changed me. As a police officer I unfortunately see the very worst in people. I see how lives are tormented by drugs, greed and hate. I have witnessed things that I will never be able to erase from my mind. But, when I am lucky, I get to steal a few moments with my buddy Abe. As he sits in my arms and smiles that contagious smile of his I know that world is right. There is still good in people and there is HOPE even when we feel overwhelmed by all the difficulties of life.
I wanted to use my ability to raise money for this campaign but I wasn't sure how to do it. I found the opportunity in the inspiration of another group of people. During World War II a group of brave soldiers were responsible for the defense of the islands of Luzon, Corregidor and the harbor defense forts of the Philippines. The conditions they encountered and the aftermath of the battle were unique. They fought in a malaria-infested region, surviving on half or quarter rations with little or no medical help. They fought with outdated equipment and virtually no air power. On April 9, 1942, tens of thousands of American and Filipino soldiers were surrendered to Japanese forces. The Americans were Army, Army Air Corps, Navy and Marines. Among those seized were members of the 200th Coast Artillery, New Mexico National Guard. They were marched for days in the scorching heat through the Philippine jungles. Thousands died. Those who survived faced the hardships of a prisoner of war camp. This became known as the Bataan Death March.
Every year teams of competitors travel to New Mexico to honor the memory of these heros by participating in a 26 mile march. I will be traveling in March with my team and I believe this is the perfect opportunity to raise money for this project in Ethiopia that has become so dear to my family's heart. I am asking for your support as I participate in the march. Each dollar you donate will inspire me to not only honor the memory of the brave soldiers of the past, it will literally save lives of the people in Africa in the future.
How are we addressing the orphan crisis...?
Friends from around the country will gather at the end of February in Northwest Arkansas to answer this question. The Idea Camp is going to be a beautiful few days of sharing ideas, sharing stories and sharing lives.
For Emily and my sons, Eyasu and Abe, the orphan crisis was solved with their adoptions. Praise God indeed. However, that's not the answer for all of the 147 million orphans worldwide. Below is our story of hope, a hope that no more children will be orphaned, at least in the beautiful region of southern Ethiopia. A story of bringing hope to Dube Bute.
Four years ago, our family began a journey that none could predicted - nor had we planned on - but God did.
Our dear friend Kristin went on a mission trip to Africa and sent us a video of highlights. As our family watched the beautiful work she and her team did in the orphanages, our children began asking if we "could bring one home". Then they began to ask us if we you pray about it. That was the winter of 2007. 15 months later, we received an email with a beautiful picture of our son Abe, wearing a Texas Tech T-shirt. We knew God has His hand in this journey. Three months after that, our family, traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to bring home Abe. That is when we first began to fall in love with the country.
Kristin chronicled the trip through pictures and made a beautiful video of the day we first met Abe, using the song "Mighty to Save". Because of that, the song has become our anthem. Abe immediately became our "ripple maker". I like to say that Abe is the large boulder that came crashing into our otherwise very calm pond. Those ripples reached new heights six weeks later, when we received the devastating news that Abe had a severe brain injury from an in-utero stroke. Those were hard days of suffering, but we have a God who is faithful, whose love and grace sustains. Good friends and family walked through those days - our faith grew deeper, our love for Ethiopia grew deeper and our desire to give something back to this country grew.
Just over a year ago, Emily and I went back to Ethiopia to bring home our son Eyasu. We had the privilege to meet his biological uncle who cared for him after both of his parents died from TB. The uncle cared for Eyasu and his biological brothers until he was 23 months old, and on the verge of dying from sickness and malnourishment. Also on this trip, we first met the staff of A Glimmer of Hope and began this beautiful relationship. From the very beginning, we had been looking for an organization to partner with. Once we met these guys, we knew this was the group doing big work, effective work and sustainable work.
Emily traveled back to Ethiopia in June to see completed projects of Glimmer - and the dream of returning to Eyasu's village was born.
Another reason, Emily traveled in June, was to lay the ground work for EthiopiaSmile. In the spring of last year, the idea came to return to Ethiopia and use the gift of dentistry to love the people of Ethiopia, God moved in the hearts of over 60 people to join with us. Abe's ripples just exponentially increased! So this passion for Ethiopia and it's people reached out to our community.
Last month, we visited Dube Bute, Eyasu's village, we saw the need, we saw the extreme poverty, we saw the lack of clean water, the dilapidated schools, the lack of basic health needs. Trusting God to do big things, we partnered with Glimmer to bring hope to Dube Bute by fundraising to provide 27 water points, a health post, 12 new classrooms, a vet clinic, necessary latrines and a bridge to make all of this possible. By God's grace, almost all of the funds are raised and construction is set to begin!
That's what this is all about - a beautiful story of redemption, taking a dear orphan out of a dire situation, using him to inspire a community to make a difference in the lives of people a world away.
We need you!! I am not a "camper" but this camp is right up my alley. A group of people, coming together to collectively share ideas, and ultimately bring about change in the orphan crisis. An idea camp is only as good as those who come to participate. If you have vision, passion and a heart for the millions of orphans in the world, this is for YOU.
Moody and I are humbled to have been asked to be guides. Love that they don't focus on the speakers, yet the speakers simply help facilitate the sessions. You are an active participant!
Join us!! February 24-25th Click here to see other guides. Here for main page.

E VIDENCE of the economic recovery may now be beyond doubt, but focus on costs is as strong as ever. The ravages of the recession made everyone in construction even more price conscious, and as everyone knows, price has always been one of the first questions people ask about when discussing a product or project.
One practice sometimes seen as an easy target for cost cutting is health & safety, especially among smaller builders. It is an approach the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) knows only too well as shown by its procession of prosecutions exposing safety lapses.
Hence the recent HSE announcement that during the next 12 months over 70% of its inspection efforts will focus on sites where less than five people are working, particularly in refurbishment activities.
Cutting corners on health & safety is a false economy as your business can suffer additional costs through lost man hours and sick pay. For a flooring contractor, the sudden absence of a fitter through injury can leave them unable to finish a job on time, missing a deadline and incurring penalties. Aside from the possible loss of future work, it can mean higher insurance premiums and a bad reputation with clients.
While flooring is clearly not the most dangerous of the construction trades, that is no excuse for not exercising maximum vigilance and taking every normal precaution.
Flooring contractors who are members of the CFA, despite having a good safety record, are being reminded to respond to the 2013/14 NSCC accident survey this month.
The NSCC (National Specialist Contractors' Council), to which the CFA is affiliated, conducts an annual survey as part of its commitment to reducing fatal and major injury rates within the construction industry. The NSCC accident survey is designed to show that specialist contractors are safer than the construction average.
For example, in its last survey that covered 2012/13, NSCC received responses from over 2,500 specialist contractors employing over 144,000 operatives. NSCC members recorded one fatality during this period giving an NSCC rate of 0.7 per 100,000 workers. In contrast the wider construction industry suffered 39 fatalities at a rate of 1.9 per 100,000 workers.
The NSCC major injury rate was 150.1 per 100,000 workers, the lowest ever recorded since NSCC started collecting this information 10 years ago, compared with 156 per 100,000 workers for the wider industry. The over seven day injury rate for the NSCC was 247.7 per 100,000 workers compared with 255.4 per 100,000 workers for the wider industry.
It will take CFA members only minutes to complete the NSCC accident survey. Doing so will help to strengthen the voices of both NSCC and the CFA.

One pill a day to keep HIV at bay for thousands of sex workers
by Laura Lopez Gonzalez
Written by Laura Lopez Gonzalez
One pill a day will soon help keep thousands of sex workers HIV-free as South Africa is expected to announce today that it will provide antiretrovirals to thousands HIV-negative sex workers in a bid to keep them HIV free.
A University of California San Francisco study to be released today is expected to show HIV prevalence rates among sex workers of between 40 and 70 percent. (File photo)
Today the National Health Department and the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) are expected to announce that at least 3,000 HIV-negative sex workers will be eligible to begin taking the combination antiretroviral (ARV) Truvada as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent contracting HIV. Truvada combines the ARVs emtricitabine and tenofovir.
The announcement is expected to make South Africa one of the first countries in the world to bring the latest HIV prevention science to those who need it most.
Large-scale clinical trials have shown that if taken daily, Truvada can reduce the risk of HIV infection by 90 percent in people at high risk for contracting HIV like sex workers or men who have sex with men.
SANAC and the department are also expected to announce that all HIV-positive sex workers will be eligible to start HIV treatment as soon as they test positive for the virus and regardless of CD4 counts in a model dubbed "test and treat."
Currently, most people living with HIV must wait until their CD4 counts – a measure of the immune system's strength – fall to 500 before they can start treatment.
Studies have shown that earlier treatment is better for people living with HIV – it may also help reduce new infections.
HIV-positive people who adhere to treatment long enough and well enough to bring levels of the virus down to very low levels in their blood are also less likely to transmit the virus.
The ARVs used in Truvada also form part of standard HIV treatment when combined with a third ARV. People who use PrEP will have to regularly test for HIV to ensure that they are switched to the three-drug regimens needed to avoid drug resistance should they contract HIV.
New study shows up to 70 percent of sex workers living with HIV
SANAC CEO Dr. Fareed Abdullah likened the concept of HIV treatment as prevention to measures many people take to stave off malaria while traveling.
"Before you go into a malaria area, you take a malaria drug with anti-malaria medication and it reduces the risk of malaria," he told Health-e News. "In this case, we are offering sex workers an ARV taken once a day to reduce their risk of contracting HIV by 90 percent."
Just like anti-malarial drug use, the use of ARVs for PrEP might not be forever for some people, added Wits Reproductive Health & HIV Institute Director of Implementation Science Dr Saiqa Mullick.
"PrEP provides an additional prevention option for those who are at risk for HIV," said Mullick. "It works if people taking PrEP adhere to it and take it every day but they don't need to take PrEP for the rest of their lives only during the period of their lives when they are at a significant risk."
In September, the World Health Organisation endorsed test and treat for the general public and PrEP for people at high risk of HIV infection. Within weeks of the endorsement, the National Department of Health was holding meetings about how the two might be rolled out here, according to Mullick.
South Africa is the first country in southern Africa to register Truvada for use as PrEP, according to Mullick.
Three-year plan for sex workers to be unveiled today
[quote float= right]If you manage to get a sex worker into a clinic, the last thing you want to do is postpone treatment"
The kind of high-level interest shown by Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi and Deputy President and SANAC Chair Cyril Ramaphosa in curbing HIV among sex workers may be a rarity, as globally politicians tend to distance themselves from the stigmatised group.
"It's rare for a country to have such high-level leadership dealing with HIV among sex workers," Abdullah said. "It's a sign that government is taking this very seriously and working with non-governmental organisations and the community to make sure that the right thing is done and done properly."
In South Africa, the roll out of both to sex workers is part of a new three-year national plan to be unveiled today to address HIV prevalence rates that may be as high as 70 percent among sex workers, according to a new study to be released today.
Conducted in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, the study also found low levels of HIV treatment and adherence among sex workers. Abdullah is hoping quick access to treatment after testing will help change that.
"If you manage to get a sex worker into a clinic, the last thing you want to do is postpone treatment," said Abdullah, noting that the plan also provides for extensive outreach conducted by sex workers for sex workers covering everything from HIV and contraception to tuberculosis.
Cape Town-based sex worker rights organisation Sweat was one of several bodies representing sex workers that helped draft the new plan. The organisation has welcomed the plan's adoption of international best practices, Sweat Human Rights and Lobbying Officer Nosipho Vidima told Health-e News.
Anova Health's Dr Kevin Rebe currently runs a small Cape Town project providing PrEP to high-risk men who have sex with men. He adds that following the Medicines Control Council's December registration of Truvada for HIV prevention, there is nothing stopping people in the private sector who believe they are at high risk for HIV from discussing PrEP as an option with their doctors.
Rebe added that as the cost of Truvada continues to fall, more medical aids might be willing to pay for its use as PrEP. According to Rebe, Truvada costs about R200 to R550 per month. – Health-e News.

Sex workers in Thailand not so sure. It failed 5,000 women in Kenya in the trial…has it worked for women anywhere yet? Problems if we get pregnant but no access to abortion or care for special needs children. Has to be taken at regular time every day but some times we are arrested or detained or in hiding. Will Gilead and WHO stop arrests and intimidation so we can do this? Part of our work duty is to drink alcohol ..can we do this on truvada or will Gilead and WHO change our working conditions? Caught with condom means arrest for prostitution..will truvada in our handbag become another indicator of crime? If we get HIV we cannot take truvada as treatment ..what do we take? They have already begun using our community groups and resources to make us take it in Thailand too but we still have many unanswered questions. Any one know more?

Who Is Hailee Steinfeld? Only the Biggest Star of Joel and Ethan Coen's 'True Grit'
Rossiter Drake
Fifteen minutes after Josh Brolin met 13-year-old Hailee Steinfeld for the first time, he was pinning her down with a blade to her throat.
No, this was not another shocking case of When Celebrities Attack. Brolin and Steinfeld were on the set of Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit remake, opening today, and their introduction preceded the rehearsal of one of the movie's tensest scenes.
Steinfeld, playing Mattie Ross, the precocious, fiercely determined heroine of Grit, seemed unfazed by the prospect of grappling with the bearlike Brolin. She approached the scene with the same uncanny poise she brought to the rest of her time on set.
"I think it was more nerve-racking for me than it was for her," says Brolin, 42. "She's very comfortable in her own skin. That scene was about her talking and being super-confident and this man-child hating her purity.
"You know, everything she did was easy. The rest of us searched a lot in rehearsal for character and all that, but she already had it. She was the one person who had it down before the rest of us really started."
Despite her age and relative inexperience – she made her TV debut in 2007 on the FOX series Back to You, and has since appeared in just a few shows and short films – Steinfeld easily held her own in scenes opposite co-stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Barry Pepper. Did she ever feel intimidated by all the testosterone?
"It wasn't bad," says Steinfeld, a Thousand Oaks native whose father took her to a shooting range with a Los Angeles cop so she could learn to fire a gun for the role. "I was surrounded by women the entire time – the hair, makeup and wardrobe people. My mom was with me, so was my tutor. But I feel like all [those guys] are like big kids, so it was a lot of fun."
Steinfeld's greatest challenge, besides learning to roll cigarettes and performing most of her own stunts, involved mastering the film's baroque Old West dialect and finding some emotional value in it. That it didn't take long came as no surprise to the Coens.
"Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the hundreds of girls who read for this part washed out at the level of not being able to do the language," says Ethan. "Right from the beginning it was clear that Hailee was completely comfortable. She had it from the get-go in a very, very natural way."

New Race est un supergroupe de rock indépendant australien, originaire de Sydney.

Biographie
New Race est formé en 1981 dans l'underground par des membres de Radio Birdman, Denis Tek (guitare), Rob Younger (chant) et Warwick Gilbert (basse), avec le concours occasionnel pendant la tournée de Chris Masuak (guitare) avec l'apport des légendaires Ron Asheton, guitariste des Stooges puis de Destroy All Monsters et du batteur du MC5, Dennis Thompson.

Le nom de ce groupe éphémère mais brûlant provenait d'une chanson des Radio Birdman sur l'album Radio Appears et faisait écho à la précédente formation à laquelle appartenaient Asheton et Thompson, The New Order (qui n'a rien à voir avec leurs presque homonymes anglais). Les cinq musiciens se lancent dans une mémorable tournée de quatorze concerts à travers le continent australien, entassés dans un van avec leurs instruments, pour délivrer à chaque étape un rock sauvage faisant la part belle à des reprises des différents groupes auxquels avaient appartenu leurs membres.

Trois albums live et deux 45 tours permettent d'immortaliser pour les générations futures, l'énergie de ces concerts donnés aux antipodes mais sans fioritures dans l'esprit des pionniers et aux sources du rock de Détroit.

Q&A: Innovation Official Marquis Willis on Why Little Rock Is a Smart City to Watch
Data insights can help the city identify potential land use and other changes.
Erin Brereton
Erin Brereton has written about technology, business and other topics for more than 50 magazines, newspapers and online publications.
Web-based data analysis and visualization tools are helping Little Rock, Ark., combat crime, provide greater transparency and enhance a number of city services.
Through an open-data hub the city launched in 2016, residents can access charts and other resources highlighting information ranging from the number of licenses that have been issued for various types of businesses to recent attendance at the Little Rock Zoo.
Little Rock's Citizen Connect website offers a mapped view of police incidents, building permits and 311 statistics. The data is culled from the software solution the city uses to manage nonemergency calls and requests submitted through an associated app, says Marquis Willis, performance and innovation coordinator for the city.
DISCOVER: StateTech's seven Smart Cities to Watch in 2022.
"We publish information in an easy-to-digest manner for people who don't look at data and Excel spreadsheets all the time and just need a quick nugget of information," Willis says. "They want to know things like where the grass is being cut or where the bulky item pickup locations are. Citizen Connect was very beneficial in terms of getting that information out."
These are some reasons why Little Rock was named a StateTech Smart City to Watch in 2022.
StateTech recently spoke with Willis about some of the ways Little Rock uses data to improve residents' quality of life and develop the city's future technology plans.
Click the banner below to get customized content by becoming an Insider.
STATETECH: In addition to a sensor- and GPS-based gunshot detection system and a license plate reader system that uses high-resolution cameras, is Little Rock using any other type of technology to support public safety?
Willis: Citizens can receive information related to incidents that are happening. We live in a time where we're hearing more and more about active shooters in certain scenarios. God forbid, if we ever have that situation occur, we're able to use an app, in conjunction with social media, to get the word out quickly if we need citizens to avoid an area. It allows us to communicate more effectively in hazardous situations.
We also try to use data in a comprehensive manner to see what city services, not exclusive to the police department, we can use to impact crime. We've found marginalized areas tend to be more crime-infested. It happens when basic needs are not met, and it's not specific to Little Rock.
When you have an area that's impoverished, that doesn't have a grocery store that will provide you with fresh produce and milk within a mile and a half of your home, if you live around dilapidated buildings that are breeding grounds for crime, lighting is an issue — those are things data showed us where we could have a direct impact to help reduce crimes in those areas. While we can't build a grocery store, we can try to incentivize grocery stores to get into certain communities. It's a creative approach to fighting crime without trying to overpolice the city.
REVIEW: How criminal justice agencies are using digital evidence management tools.
STATETECH: How is Little Rock recording and using information, like the location of problematic buildings?
Willis: We have code enforcement officers who go out daily looking for code violations. If they see a building that's run down, vacant or uninhabitable, we'll put it into the system. We expedite and improve their workflow, so code enforcement officers aren't in the field having to pull out a notepad and write down everything. They're able to key it into a tablet.
There's a time period in which we try to determine whether or not the building needs to be demolished, if the owner is going to have the ability to get it up to code or if the city's going take it over and sell it. Once we get to the end of that time period, we take the action necessary.
We're trying to go a step further and not just demolish buildings. Creating a vacant lot does nothing for the city, so how can we repurpose these areas? That's what we're working through now. If we try to move to a more efficient and greener city, maybe that's an area we can use for a charging station or maybe we can do a pop-up produce shop in some communities that have more dilapidated buildings than others. We're trying to figure out exactly how and what we can do.
The numbers will always tell the story. The data always answers the question."
Marquis Willis Performance and Innovation Coordinator, City of Little Rock, Ark.
STATETECH: Has the city made or considered any infrastructure changes to allow for expanded smart technology and connectivity needs?
Willis: While the data portals were robust in terms of the abilities and what you could display for citizens, they did not put a lot of strain on bandwidth. We didn't have to do much in that capacity.
But we have been working to lay fiber across the city. We recognized during the pandemic that we have real infrastructure needs in certain parts of the city where they have limited to no access to the internet.
EXPLORE: How states are establishing broadband to reach agency employees anywhere.
STATETECH: Is Little Rock considering any additional ways to use technology to enhance residents' day-to-day experience?
Willis: Absolutely. One of the big focuses for the end of the year, going into next year, is using performance measures to specifically guide how we manage and govern the city and our departments. We want to set realistic goals that push us to be the best we can be.
One of the big things that's going on right now for various states — and for federal agencies — is Freedom of Information Act requests. We try to use that information to guide our data portal. We know that if we get four or five of the same or similar requests within a month and a half, we want to turn the requested information into a data set. So, when a citizen calls and says, "I want to FOIA salaries for the city of Little Rock," we can say, "Sure, here's a link to that. It's already been published," because we want to be transparent. We want to do things that are beneficial holistically for Little Rock.
DIVE DEEPER: How Virginia is using data to support citizens.
STATETECH: How can having data available in one central location help cities gain insight into operational improvements and other potential benefits?
Willis: Lil Wayne has a line, he says, "Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't lie." It doesn't matter what the issue is. You can always retrace numbers, data and information to figure out what a likely successful solution could be for that problem. The numbers will always tell the story. The data always answers the question.

What went viral this week: SNL understands the struggle of kids clothes + Ashley Graham's refreshing honesty
Here are the viral headlines making us smile this week.
By Zara Hanawalt December 18, 2019
Can you believe Christmas is next week ?!? If you haven't gotten everything done yet, don't worry—neither have we.
But if you've already baked the cookies, moved the elf and purchased your kids' matching pajamas, settle in for a laugh—because an SNL skit just poked fun at children's clothing in the most hilarious way. It's just one of the things that went viral in the world of motherhood this week.
Here are the viral headlines making us smile this week:
This viral video proves SNL understands the struggle of dressing kids
Fact: Putting your kids in cute outfits is wonderful...in theory. Oh sure, you love looking at them in sweet new outfits. And the pictures those outfits produce? They're total winners.
But let's not kid ourselves: Getting kids dressed—particularly during the winter, and more specifically, the holiday season —is...well...an interesting process, to say the least.
A Saturday Night Live skit just poked fun at this and it is hilarious and so relatable. "For your little ones, Macy's has the festive fashion that'll have them saying…..'It's too hooooooooot!' 'It itches'!,'" the ad proclaims. If you're a parent who has ever tried to put your child in a sweater (or scarf or coat of bunting), you know exactly where this is going.
The fictional ad goes on to poke fun at how tough it is to get a sweater over a child's head, how kids always (like always ) lose their mittens and how uncomfortable those shiny dress shoes for little girls can be.
If you haven't quite made it to the point where your children can verbally complain about how uncomfortable their outfits are, you'll probably understand this: There's a clip featuring an adorable onesie with buttons running down the front...which prove so cumbersome, parents may even leave their babies in stinky diapers just to avoid having to navigate the button situation. 😂
Viral video proves every kids is running their own race 😂
focus on a different child every time you watch 😂😂 https://t.co/gGpowtXKGP

There's nothing cuter than watching children try their hardest to learn a new skill. Sometimes they discover a true talent, more often they...well, don't. Either way, it's a pretty adorable sight to behold.
Case in point: This video, which is making the rounds on Twitter. The clip shows a group of children running an obstacle course on a track—at first glance, you may not quite grasp why exactly the video is gaining so much attention. Sure, it's cute, but is it really all that entertaining? And then you read the caption, which instructs you to focus on one child each time you watch the video and you realize...yes. Yes, it is that entertaining.
Focusing on one kid at a time allows you to really see every adorable stumble, missed direction and hilarious attempt. It's SO cute, and it's such a sweet reminder that children simply have their own way of doing things, and that we can all stand to learn about being carefree and individually-minded from them.
Not surprisingly, Twitter users are loving this. "The kid on the left that jumped up instead of over and just stood there after," one user replied. "Never has there been a purer example of how people deal with obstacles in their own individual way," another added.
Ashley Graham revealed her pregnancy weight gain and mamas are applauding her for it
Ashley Graham is one of those expectant mamas who really keeps it real, from sharing close-up shots of her stretch marks to admitting she's had both good and bad days during her pregnancy. Now, the mama-to-be is sharing the amount of weight she's gained while pregnant and moms are loving her honesty.
"Throughout my pregnancy so far I've gained 50lbs," she writes in an Instagram post that features the model practicing yoga.. "And the best part is, I don't care! I have never felt better, and I am so thankful that my body and son have allowed me to be as mobile and flexible as I have been."
Fellow mamas are here for Ashley's weight gain admission. "I gained 50 too. Our bodies surrender to them. It's the most rewarding gift," one comments.
Another adds: "So happy that you've figured out what works best to make you feel best. Love that you don't care about your weight gain!! It's refreshing. Really all about what's best for you & your boy!! I can't wait to see all his cuteness!!"
Feeling your body change so rapidly during pregnancy can be tough, but we love that Ashley is able to keep things in perspective. She's healthy, so is her baby, and she's able to keep it real—gaining 50 pounds while growing a baby is a very common occurrence, and we'd bet so many other pregnant women feel less alone after seeing Ashley's post.
This hospital is dressing up babies as Baby Yoda 😍
Pittsburgh's UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital is known for dressing the newborns in adorable themed outfits , and this Christmas they are doing a very topical theme. Fans of the Disney+ show The Mandalorian will recognize those ears: These babies are dressed up as The Child, also known as Baby Yoda.
"It's a holiday tradition here at Magee, dressing up our babies in the nursery in festive attire. This year, these babies are out of this galaxy cute!" the hospital noted in its Facebook post.
We love these festive Star Wars hats!
This viral illustration is a must-see for all new moms
So often we are told that new parenthood will be this amazing, wonderful experience and that we should love every minute of it. But it's not always that. Moments are, but motherhood in general is a complex experience and loss is part of that experience. Society doesn't talk about how when you gain a baby and a new identity you lose things, too.
That's why we love this viral post from The Postpartum Stress Center .
The caption reads, in part: "We wait; we hold our breath, we wade through the mess, accept that losses are part of this experience and proceed mindfully through this eventful life transition. Then, when we aren't looking, some of the losses on our list return to us, sometimes the way we remember them, sometimes as part of our new normal. Either way, the payoff is usually worth the wait."
It's okay to speak up about feelings of loss and admit that the trade-offs are real. Some trade-offs hurt more than others. And if you're hurting right now, mama, please know that there is help.
Viral post reminds parents to be compassionate with kids during Christmas meltdowns
Esther Sowerby has spent decades working with kids as a teacher and day care operator and this year she took to Facebook to share some of her wisdom with parents. She wrote a beautiful Facebook post describing the challenges of the holiday season from a child's point of view, and it is helping parents practice empathy and kindness when dealing with holiday meltdowns.
"I've been following Suzanne Zeedyk, who is a professor at the University of Dundee, Scotland, who is really helping us in the U.K. see that all behavior is communication," she told Good Morning America . "Rather than talk about misbehavior, which makes us want to use punishment, she says we should be talking about distressed behavior. That language shift makes us ask why children are upset and what they need."
As adults it can be hard to see things from the point of view of our children, but Ester's post is helping parents make that shift:
"Be kind to me this Christmas... from a little person's point of view:
- You've probably let me eat more sugar than usual - I'm bound to have higher highs and lower lows.
- In the holidays I'm out of routine - I can cope better with transitions when I know exactly what's coming next so please explain our plans for the day clearly to me.
- The anticipation of Christmas can be pretty overwhelming and exhausting. Help me to rest by keeping to my normal bedtimes.
- Travelling at Christmas is stressful for all of us. When possible, be flexible about when we travel and check the traffic before we leave.
- I have no idea about the value of money - if there's no way I can have that giant lego set for Christmas, then please tell me well before Christmas morning. I'll have time to get over my disappointment and I'll learn to trust your honesty.
- Grown-ups find preparing for Christmas stressful. I know you want it to be perfect for me so I'll have memories I can cherish forever. But I see you getting stressed, sometimes even before you do. I pick up on it and reflect it like a mirror. Please slow down, notice me, talk to me, play with me. That's what I'll remember.
- When I lose it, and I probably will at some point, please don't make me ashamed of my feelings by shouting at me. I never set out to deliberately disappoint you and I didn't try to ruin your Christmas. I'm really not that calculated. I'm just a little person whose brain deals with stress in different ways to yours. Please try to understand me, from my point of view.
And when all else fails, wrap your arms around me and hold me so I feel the strength of your love.
Esther 26.11.19 x"
In a follow up to her now viral post Ester writes: "My post on seeing Christmas through children's eyes has had a crazy amount of responses! Mostly positive, but some people have felt sad and even guilty that it's not possible to parent like that all the time. Thing is no one can!"
If you've had a bad moment with your child, don't beat yourself up, mama. Being compassionate with yourself will help you be compassionate with your child.
This viral Old Navy ad features a real family with two fathers
Sometimes ads feature families that aren't really families, but rather a group of models that just met that day. But an Old Navy ad that is going viral this week features a very real family and some very real representation.
Dustin Patrick Smith and Burton B. Buffaloe are two dads raising their two adorable kids together, and their Old Navy ad is going viral because
Smith explained his feelings in an Instagram post: "The definitions of a family today and a family in the past are far from similar. Oftentimes people will say a family includes a mother, father, and children all living under one roof. Our family consists of two fathers, a son and a daughter. Exposure to families that may not be like your own, in particular, encourages tolerance and acceptance because the fact is, everyone's family is unique. As we prep for the holidays we are celebrating uniqueness and individuality. As our kids get older they are very vocal about what they want to wear and I love that. Them finding their own self expression is exciting to watch, so mixing up our @oldnavy jingle jammies is welcomed in this household."
7-year-old boy living in shelter writes viral letter to Santa
When a 7-year-old Texas boy living in a domestic violence shelter wrote a letter to Santa his mom was touched and so were the staff at the shelter, SafeHaven of Tarrant County.
According to CNN, SafeHaven staff posted letter on Facebook this week, (after changing the boy's name for his safety).
The letter reads:
Dear Santa,
We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don't have to be scared.
I'm still nervous. I don't want to talk to the other kids. Are you going to come this Christmas? We don't have any of our stuff here. Can you bring some chapter books, a dictionary, and a compass and a watch? I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?
Love, Blake
Since the post went viral many people reached out asking how they could help Blake and his family, and the good news is that many donations have come in to help him and the other kids living at the shelter.
The now-viral post reminds us that this is the reality for many families this holiday season, and that domestic violence can impact lives no matter the season.
If you are experiencing domestic violence and need help now you can call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) .
Mom goes viral for using cardboard cut-outs of herself to keep toddler happy
Fuki Sato lives in Japan with her 1-year-old son but this week she became world-famous for a hot second thanks to her husband's genius idea.
Their son freaks out when he can't see mama, so she replaced herself with a cardboard cut-out so that she could have a few minutes to herself.
As first reported by Romper. Sato's husband came up with the idea and posted a video of the results on Twitter.
In the video, Sato replaces herself with the cardboard version while her son is playing. For 20 minutes he plays happily, glancing over every so often to make sure mama is still there.
It's probably not a strategy that would work long term, but it sure is funny.

The clarinet was invented around 1700 and has since become one of the most versatile wind instruments. It can be found in orchestra, band, jazz, klezmer, Indian traditional music, etc. The clarinet's sound is created by the vibration of a single reed against a mouthpiece. It is different from the other woodwinds because of its cylindrical rather than conical shaped bore.
How to play vibrato on the clarinet?
I've been playing the clarinet for some time now, and have wanted to extend my ability with it. While doing so, I ran into vibrato. Is there a good method to play vibrato on the clarinet?
Clarinet Ligature on Alto Sax?
When I play G, why does it come out as F on bass clarinet?
Do woodwind reeds (Sax, clarinet, etc) need break in to play better?
I was curious if woodwind reeds need a break in period to meld to the mouthpiece. I am learning saxophone and it seems the longer I use the same reed, it seems to play better.
What is a "Coudet Clarinet"? I'm a flute/Alto Sax player and was wonder if this is different from a "Clarinet" also how will the transition be?
Use Of Silica Packets For Clarinets?
Will bite marks on my clarinet mouthpiece affect my playing?
I don't really see the point of alternate fingerings when you could already use another.
Playing tenor sax is easy for me. Is a clarinet really that hard?
What is the diameter of a clarinet and bass clarinet mouthpiece?
I'm looking for the diameter of the connection point for both the clarinet and bass clarinet. The part in red below.
How Common Are the Trumpet in C and Clarinet in A?
Air Leak/Snorting at the back of nose while playing clarinet?

VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y. – A catenary system is used to transmit the electrical energy to trams and trains. It is also known as overhead line or overhead wire system. The proper maintenance of these system is essential for the appropriate functioning of a passenger or goods transportation system. The catenary maintenance vehicle is used for the inspection, maintenance and repair of a catenary system. Catenary maintenance vehicle is generally self-propelled and independent of overhead traction lines. It consist of coupler and buffer device, support and locking device, power transmission system, pneumatic and disc brake system, high-speed traveling electrical system, work travel hydraulic system, work travel electrical system, etc.
A catenary maintenance vehicle is generally used for tramways lines and electric railway lines. The trams are usually found in cities as one of the prime media for public transport. Electric railway lines are used for both public and goods transport across cities or states. The catenary maintenance vehicle can differ depending upon its used such as, single purpose and multi-purpose catenary maintenance vehicle. According to International Union of Railways, rail transport is steadily expanding worldwide, owing to increasing demand for intercity and interurban mobility.
In the growing urbanization the need of a safer way to travel is also increasing. The growing demand for a better transportation solution and for passengers as well as for the goods is pushing the growth of global rail transport at a significant rate. The rising rail transport is projected to relatively increase the demand for new electrical railway lines, which is projected to increase the market of catenary maintenance vehicle at a significant rate over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the demand for electric railway lines is increasing at a prominent rate, owing to more effective and reliable way of transportation and rising prices of crude oil. Additionally, government regulations against the locomotive emissions expected to fuel the growth of electrical railway lines. These are expected to push the growth of catenary maintenance vehicle market.
However, more use traditional diesel locomotives and high cost of railway electrification system are some of the challenges situated with the global catenary maintenance vehicle market and expected to limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Catenary maintenance vehicle market can be segmented into electric line, use, application and region.
According to International Union of Railways, rail transport is steadily expanding worldwide, owing to increasing demand for intercity and interurban mobility. Also, the growing rail infrastructure in emerging countries such as, China, India etc. expected to significantly increase the demand for catenary maintenance vehicle in the Asia Pacific market over the forecast period. The market in North America projected to witness substantial growing owing to, introduction of new projects in long distance trains as well as suburban train transport systems .
Furthermore, stringent government regulations for emission control in European region increasing the demand for electrical railway lines, thus relatively pushing the growth of catenary maintenance vehicle market in the region during the forecast period. Latin America and Middle East & Africa region anticipated to have promising growth in the catenary maintenance vehicle market over the forecast period.

Q: Spring boot deploy on wildfly many logs when start application When i just deploy my application on wildfly 8.2 everything is ok but there is many logs and application starts very slowly.
this is my spring boot pom configuration :
<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
                <version>1.2.2.RELEASE</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
            </dependency>

A: Separate the Embedded Tomcat Server From the Spring Boot App
First of all, open the pom.xml and add the Tomcat dependency. Next, you can change the scope to the provided. When we make the scope as provided that means this dependency will be available during compile time only and will not be available at run-time. This is because we need this dependency in compile time to compile the web-component-related files.
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
<!-- Make sure that you changed the packaging to war -->
 <packaging>war</packaging>

Then, extend the SpringBootServletInitializer class in your Spring Boot main class and override the configure method. We need to do this to initialize the application in any other servlet container like JBoss.
You can see the code below that extends the SpringBootServletInitializer and overrides the configure method.
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableSwagger2
public class SpringBootDemoApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

  @Override
  protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder){
    return builder.sources(SpringBootDemoApplication.class);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args){
    SpringApplication.run(SpringBootDemoApplication.class, args);
  }
}

With this configuration, the application is ready to deploy to any external application server.
Once this is done, you can package your Spring Boot application as a war and deploy it to the JBoss server. To do that, you need to run  mvn clean package, which will generate the war file.


For my last day, I took the train across the water to Odaiba. This is the very last photo that I took in Japan before I headed to the airport for my 1am flight home. Definitely sad saying goodbye to this amazing country, but I made my time there count - in 12 days I managed to visit 4 cities, check 29 sights of my 'must visit' list and walk 79 miles! My feet took a few days to recover once I got home!

Casalnuovo di Napoli () is an Italian comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about  northeast of Naples.

The municipality of Casalnuovo di Napoli contains the frazioni (hamlets) of: Casarea, Tavernanova, Licignano and Talona.

Casalnuovo di Napoli borders the following municipalities: Acerra, Afragola, Casoria, Pollena Trocchia, Pomigliano d'Arco, Sant'Anastasia, Volla, Somma Vesuviana .

The municipal capital stands on the ruins of Archora, one of the villages that had given rise to the neighboring city of Afragola , and also includes the suppressed municipality of Licignano di Napoli, corresponding to the Roman settlement of Licinianum.
It also includes the towns of Tavernanova and Casarea, acquired in 1929 by spin-off from the municipalities of Pomigliano d'Arco and Afragola.
From an ecclesiastical point of view, instead, the parishes are divided between the archdiocese of Naples (city centre and Casarea fraction), the diocese of Acerra (Licignano and Talona fraction) and the diocese of Nola (Tavernanova fraction).

History
The town rises on the ruins of Archora, one of the villages from which the city of Afragola originated. At the beginning of the 15th century the village was acquired by the baron Giovanni III de Alexandro, belonging to the House D'Alessandro, who lived between Terra di Lavoro and Naples. This baron was also known as the Grand Chamberlain of Calabria (1415) and Marshal of the Kingdom and then he was the Counsellor of Queen Giovanna II. In 1484, Angiolo Como was granted the ruins of the village by Ferdinando II of Aragon, and on these ruins he built a new place, which was recognized as one of the houses of the diocese of Naples with the name of Casalnuovo, since it formerly constituted a farmhouse of Naples.

With the urban reform of Gioacchino Murat, the farmhouses of Casalnuovo and Salice, together with the farmhouse of Arcopinto (which today is divided into three municipalities) and the farmhouse of Afragola, merged into the commune of Afragola. The municipal territory of Casalnuovo was enlarged by Royal Decree of 25 February 1929, n. 316[2], with the consolidation of the then municipality of Licignano di Napoli, and the addition of parts of the territory belonging to the municipalities of Afragola and Pomigliano d'Arco. During the administrative redesign wanted by fascism, Licignano, after having been part of different municipalities, became a small fraction of Casalnuovo di Napoli.

In the 1950s, due to the divestiture of some territories of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, the hamlets of Tavernanova and Casarea were added to the municipality of Casalnuovo, while the area called Botteghelle, between Casalnuovo and Tavernanova, continued to be part of the municipality of Afragola until the 1970s. In the late 1990s, the municipality of Casalnuovo obtained an additional portion of territory which used to be part of Afragola, because of the compensatory programme on the environmental impact determined by the high-speed railway station of Afragola on the neighbouring municipalities.

Economy

Factories
in the past, Casalnuovo di Napoli, was one of the main industrial centres of the Neapolitan hinterland, thanks to some companies which had their own factories here. Among the most important companies, there were: Moneta, Eridania, Colussi and Liquigas and Hensemberger (accumulators industry), whose factories are now almost abandoned. However, there are several small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the textile and footwear sector in town, as shown by the presence (in the former Colussi factory) of the "Polo della Moda", which represents one of the main poles of the textile industry in all the Campania region. Another very important one, is the well-known men's tailoring company ISAIA, which today mainly produces men's high fashion clothes. Over the years, the company has experienced a great process of industrialization to such an extent that they began exporting their garments abroad, as a matter of fact the company not only boasts shops in Italy, but also abroad. Therefore, at the entrance of the town, on the welcome message, the city is given the title of "city of fashion" in memory of the tailors of great skill who resided here and to those ones who still work in town.

Religious traditions

The city has many parishes, but also chapels, the main ones: San Giacomo Apostolo il Maggiore (patron saint) and San Nicola di Bari (Patron of Licignano). In addition to the Catholic churches there are also some Christian evangelical churches and a hall of the Kingdom of Jehovah's Witnesses. The city also has a second patron: San Biagio, celebrated on February 3. Many traditions are linked to this date. In the first place the typical one of the country, also for the other patrons, to bring the statue of the saint in procession through the city. San Biagio is protector of the throat and pets. On 3 February, the faithful take the animals to the church to be blessed, or they go to the church to be blessed with holy oil.
Officially, however, San Biagio is not the patron saint of the city, like San Giacomo. In fact it is called "patorno di Passaggio", the legend says that the statue of the saint, carried by a cart, was directed to Cancello and Arnone, but the cart wheel broke right in front of the village church, a testimony, for the faithful, that the saint did not want to leave the country. Since then the statue has been kept in the church where it was first sheltered.

The majority of the population is of Catholic orientation, but there are also substantial communities of Jehovah's Witnesses and Protestant, and in minimal percentage Sunni Muslims.
