Frequently Asked Questions
What is water quality and why is it important?
Water quality refers to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water. It is important because it can affect public health, the health of ecosystems, and the availability of water resources for human consumption and economic activities.
What are the common pollutants found in drinking water?
The common pollutants found in drinking water include bacteria, viruses, chemicals such as pesticides and industrial waste, and heavy metals such as lead and mercury.
How do I know if my tap water is safe to drink?
You can check with your local water supplier or public health department to get information on the quality of your tap water. You can also have your water tested by a certified laboratory to check for contaminants.
How often should I have my water tested for quality?
It is recommended to test private well water at least once a year for bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants. Public water supplies are routinely tested by water treatment plants, but you can still request a water quality report from your supplier.
What is the difference between hard water and soft water?
Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, while soft water has a low concentration of these minerals. Hard water can cause problems with plumbing and appliances, while soft water is easier on skin and hair.
How do water treatment plants purify water for consumption?
Water treatment plants use various processes such as coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection to remove contaminants from water and make it safe for consumption.
Can contaminants in water affect the taste and odor?
Yes, contaminants such as algae, bacteria, and chemicals can affect the taste and odor of water.
What are the health effects of drinking contaminated water?
Drinking contaminated water can lead to a range of health problems such as gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders.
What are some ways to improve the quality of my drinking water at home?
Some ways to improve the quality of your drinking water at home include using a water filtration system, boiling water, and using bottled water from a reputable source.
What should I do if I suspect my well water is contaminated?
If you suspect your well water is contaminated, stop using it for drinking and cooking immediately and have it tested by a certified laboratory. If the test confirms contamination, you should take steps to treat or remediate the problem.

Albert's House
Albert's House is a studio album by jazz trumpeter Chet Baker recorded in 1969 and released on the Beverly Hills label. The album features 11 compositions by Steve Allen who organized the recording date to assist Baker in restarting his career after a horrific injury wrecked his embouchure.
Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "In 1968 Baker had his teeth knocked out by a group of thugs. In 1969 he recorded this remarkably bad set of music... Baker, who sounds as if he is struggling to get any air at all out of his horn, rarely ventures out of the lower register or away from the themes. He sounds in sad shape, so why does this music repeatedly get reissued?"
Track listing

FreeBSD 7.0 manual page repository
FreeBSD is a free computer operating system based on BSD UNIX originally. Many IT companies, like DeployIS is using it to provide an up-to-date, stable operating system.
access, eaccess - check accessibility of a file
NAME
access, eaccess - check accessibility of a file
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int
access(const char *path, int mode);
int
eaccess(const char *path, int mode);
DESCRIPTION
The access() and eaccess() system calls check the accessibility of the
file named by the path argument for the access permissions indicated by
the mode argument. The value of mode is either the bitwise-inclusive OR
of the access permissions to be checked (R_OK for read permission, W_OK
for write permission, and X_OK for execute/search permission), or the
existence test (F_OK).
For additional information, see the File Access Permission section of
intro(2).
The eaccess() system call uses the effective user ID and the group access
list to authorize the request; the access() system call uses the real
user ID in place of the effective user ID, the real group ID in place of
the effective group ID, and the rest of the group access list.
Even if a process’s real or effective user has appropriate privileges and
indicates success for X_OK, the file may not actually have execute per‐
mission bits set. Likewise for R_OK and W_OK.
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
Access to the file is denied if:
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
[ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or
an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
[ENOENT] The named file does not exist.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat‐
ing the pathname.
[EROFS] Write access is requested for a file on a read-only
file system.
[ETXTBSY] Write access is requested for a pure procedure (shared
text) file presently being executed.
[EACCES] Permission bits of the file mode do not permit the
requested access, or search permission is denied on a
component of the path prefix.
[EFAULT] The path argument points outside the process’s allo‐
cated address space.
[EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to
the file system.
The access() system call is a potential security hole due to race condi‐
tions and should never be used. Set-user-ID and set-group-ID applica‐
tions should restore the effective user or group ID, and perform actions
directly rather than use access() to simulate access checks for the real
user or group ID. The eaccess() system call likewise may be subject to
races if used inappropriately.
access() remains useful for providing clues to users as to whether opera‐
tions make sense for particular filesystem objects (e.g. ’delete’ menu
item only highlighted in a writable folder ... avoiding interpretation of
the st_mode bits that the application might not understand -- e.g. in the
case of AFS). It also allows a cheaper file existence test than stat(2).
chmod(2), intro(2), stat(2)
STANDARDS
The access() system call is expected to conform to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990
(“POSIX.1”).
HISTORY
The access() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
Sections
Based on BSD UNIX
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium and Athlon), amd64 compatible (including Opteron, Athlon64, and EM64T), UltraSPARC, IA-64, PC-98 and ARM architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.

The first schools were obviously linked to the appearance of writing, so it is not surprising that they appeared in Sumeria around 3,500 BC, when cuneiform writing appeared. Textbooks – or rather, text tablets – have been found in the city of Uruk, on the eastern bank of the Euphrates, and consisted of hundreds of clay tablets containing lists of words that appeared to have been arranged in such a way. way to be memorized.
Although most of the tablets that have been found have to do with financial and administrative memorandums, these “study sheets” clearly indicate that not long after the invention of writing, a rigorous and formal teaching of it had already been designed . . In the middle of the third millennium there were already schools where children and adolescents were taught: the equivalent of notes and homework have been found in the city of Shurupak, dated around 2,500 BC. C. Now, since the children used to carry on the family tradition, the son of a carpenter would learn his father’s trade and end up as such. Hence, only the sons of kings, nobles and scribes received such training. On the other hand, although it was not common for girls to go to school, it was not prohibited either, as evidence has been found that there were female scribes in Mesopotamia.
The work that the students faced was hard because learning cuneiform fluently required dexterity and concentration . Not for that reason there was a proverb that said: “Whoever seeks to excel in the school of the scribes must get up at dawn.” Being a scribe was a job with a future: from keeping accounts and administrative matters to writing delivery notes, purchase-sale contracts or simple letters. So it is not surprising that their number increased until it became a social class.
From the archaeological remains found, it is deduced that the education of the scribes was carried out in private houses called eduba (school of scribes). The best example is House F in the city of Nippur, where some 1,500 pieces of tablets have been found dating to around 1,750 BC; most are school exercises done by students.
The Mesopotamian Curriculum
From these remains we have been able to deduce the curriculum of a typical Nippur eduba. What we could define as primary education obviously consisted of learning the basic concepts of cuneiform writing over four years , writing long lists of signs and words and copying simple texts. In the first, they learned writing techniques, such as working with clay and tablets, handling the brush to make the three types of wedge (horizontal, vertical and oblique), beginning to master the basic signs and writing people’s names. In this course the student learned the Syllabic Alphabet B, which are signs or syllables with a certain resemblance to Sumerian words but whose use was to teach the student to know the correct signs. In second grade, students memorized and wrote lists of words organized by topic, such as those in the group of wood, fur and leather… In third grade they went a little further and learned the numbers, measurements and common formulas used in the economic contracts . They also learned more complex word lists than the previous year. And in fourth year they began to work on complete sentences in Sumerian, copying model contracts and legal texts (such as the one for the sale of a house) and, finally, Sumerian proverbs. This served as a transition to secondary school, consisting of only two courses and whose objective was for the scribe to learn to write complete texts and to enjoy the main texts of Sumerian literature.
And the higher education centers, where you could learn medicine, astronomy, geometry…? For that we had to wait several centuries.
The first universities
In the 9th century, the first medical schools appeared associated with the bimaristans , a Persian word that means hospital or sick house, some centers where anyone who needed it was treated without having to pay anything (it is the closest thing to the first social security in the world), since they were financed through donations.
The other source of training in the Islamic world was the madrasas, which although we associate them with something similar to Catholic seminaries, is actually a term that designates any type of school. In 859 Fatima al-Fihri, the daughter of a wealthy merchant named Mohammed Al-Fihri, decided to use the fortune bequeathed to her by her father when he died to build a madrassa next to the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque in Fez, Morocco. Although it began as a place of study of the Qur’an and Islamic jurisprudence, it soon turned to the teaching of grammar, rhetoric, logic, medicine, mathematics and astronomy, making it the oldest university in the world.
Now, many European historians rebel against this title because they consider that the university is not defined by what it teaches but how it is taught , that is, that a university is “a community of teachers who have certain rights, such as administrative autonomy and design and implementation of study plans and research objectives, as well as the granting of publicly recognized titles”. And that is a purely European product. Considering it this way, the oldest university would be that of Bologna, founded in 1088 and recognized as such in 1158.

Nucleariid
Nucleariid
Nucleariids
Nuclearia thermophila
Scientific classification
Domain: Eukarya
(unranked): Opisthokonts
Order: Nucleariida
The nucleariids are a group of amoebae[1] with filose pseudopods, known mostly from soils and freshwater. They are distinguished from the superficially similar vampyrellids mainly by having mitochondria with discoid cristae.
Classification
Plantae
Chromalveolata
Amoebozoa
Opisthokonts
Choanozoa
Animalia
Nucleariids
Fungi
One view of the great kingdoms and their stem groups.[2]
Nucleariids are opisthokonts,[3] the group which includes animals, fungi and several smaller groups. Several studies place the nucleariids as a sister group to the fungi.[4][5]
Characteristics
Nucleariids are usually small, up to about 50 μm in size.
According to a 2009 paper, Fonticula, a cellular slime mold, is an opisthokont and more closely related to Nuclearia than to fungi.[6]

Haroon Bilour, (born 1974 – 2018) was a Pakistani Politician from Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He was the son of renowned politician late Bashir Ahmed Bilour. He was killed in suicide bomb blast during party meeting in Peshawar on 10 July 2018.
Death
Bilour was killed in a suicide bomb blast by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan a terrorist group in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during a party corner meeting in in Peshawar. His father Bashir Ahmed Bilour was also killed by suicide bomber while he was heading towards home after attending a party meeting in Peshawar
Awami National Party was the main target in General Election 2013 as well killing hundreds of party worker consequently losing the General Election 2013 with a big margin from the opponent party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan later claimed the responsibility that they had targeted the party meeting which killed 20 party worker including Haroon Bilour. TTP termed this target a revenge of Operation Rah-e-Haq which was carried out when Awami National Party was the ruling party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

-- Pound Set for Weekly Drop Versus Dollar Before U.S. Jobs Report
The pound was poised for a fourth
weekly decline versus the dollar as demand for the U.S. currency
increased before a report that economist said will show American
employers added more jobs in February. Sterling dropped to a 2 1/2-year low against the greenback
yesterday. The U.K. currency snapped a three-day decline versus
the euro. The Bank of England yesterday left its asset-purchase
target at 375 billion pounds ($562 billion). The Debt Management
Office is scheduled to auction 4 billion pounds of one-, three-
and six-month bills today. The pound fell 0.1 percent to $1.4995 at 7:51 a.m. London
time after sliding to $1.4967 yesterday, the weakest level since
July 2010. It has depreciated 0.3 percent this week. Sterling
was little changed at 87.27 pence per euro. The pound has dropped 6.1 percent this year, the second-
worst performer after the yen among 10 developed-market
currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes.
The euro rose 1.8 percent and the dollar gained 2.7 percent. U.K. government bonds lost 1.4 percent this year through
March 1, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the
European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German
bunds and Treasuries both dropped 0.8 percent. To contact the reporter on this story:

I need a matcher like this:
Matcher kuchen = Pattern.compile("gibt es Kuchen in der K\u00FCche",Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher("");
and the problem is that it is not simple ASCII. I know that in this particular case I could use [\u00FC\u00DC] for the ü, but I need to be a bit more general (building the regex from other matcher groups). So according to javadocs:
By default, case-insensitive matching assumes that only characters in the US-ASCII charset are being matched. Unicode-aware case-insensitive matching can be enabled by specifying the UNICODE_CASE flag in conjunction with this flag.
Can anybody tell me how to specify the two flags in conjunction?
48
Try
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.UNICODE_CASE
it should solve the issue. Or-ing the bitmask you will get compound features.

• Is it better practice to apply flags within the pattern itself or using the flag parameter within compile as shown in your answer? – Declan McKenna Jul 5 '16 at 12:17
• Does including it in the pattern like in Joop's answer hold any disadvantages or is it purely preference? One potential pro for including it within the Pattern string is transferability. A colleague of mine reused one of my PCRE regexs without setting the case insensitive flag, which wouldn't have been a problem had I included it within the pattern itself. – Declan McKenna Jul 5 '16 at 12:25
• @Deco It depends on your design and a situation might be different when you apply the pattern or use a flag, but the question is about flags. – Roman C Jul 5 '16 at 12:40
• @Deco It is neater to compile the flags into your pattern class, but using the regex paren question mark syntax gives you more control over where you want to start and/or stop the flags. – Victor Grazi Sep 18 '18 at 1:30
14
Though more pure using parameters, same as "(?iu)gibt es ..." without parameters. i = case-insensitive, u = unicode.
9
Use bitwise OR, like Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.UNICODE_CASE.
6
It's a bitmask, so you use the bitwise OR operator |.

Abstract
The formation of hyperphosphorylated intracellular Tau tangles in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Tau hyperphosphorylation destabilizes microtubules, promoting neurodegeneration in AD patients. To identify suppressors of tau-mediated AD, we perform a screen using a microRNA (miR) library in Drosophila and identify the miR-9 family as suppressors of human tau overexpression phenotypes. CG11070, a miR-9a target gene, and its mammalian orthologue UBE4B, an E3/E4 ubiquitin ligase, alleviate eye neurodegeneration, synaptic bouton defects, and crawling phenotypes in Drosophila human tau overexpression models. Total and phosphorylated Tau levels also decrease upon CG11070 or UBE4B overexpression. In mammalian neuroblastoma cells, overexpression of UBE4B and STUB1, which encodes the E3 ligase CHIP, increases the ubiquitination and degradation of Tau. In the Tau-BiFC mouse model, UBE4B and STUB1 overexpression also increase oligomeric Tau degradation. Inhibitor assays of the autophagy and proteasome systems reveal that the autophagy-lysosome system is the major pathway for Tau degradation in this context. These results demonstrate that UBE4B, a miR-9 target gene, promotes autophagy-mediated Tau degradation together with STUB1, and is thus an innovative therapeutic approach for AD.

Agriculture.—Nearly nine-tenths of the E. Riding is under cultivation, but of the N. and W. Ridings only from three fifths to seven-tenths—proportions explained by the different physical conditions. The till or boulder clay of Holderness is the richest soil in Yorkshire, and the chalk wolds, by careful cultivation, form one of the best soils for grain crops. The central plain bears all kinds of crops excellently. Wheat is grown in the E. and W. Ridings, but oats are the principal grain crop in these ridings, and barley exceeds wheat in all three. The bulk of the acreage under green crops is devoted to turnips and swedes. A little flax is grown, and liquorice is cultivated near Pontefract. The proportion of hill pasture is greatest in the N. Riding and least in the E., and the N. and W. Ridings are among the principal sheep-farming districts in England. Cattle, for the rearing of which the W. Riding is most noted, do not receive great attention. The Teeswater breed, however, is increasing in Yorkshire, and in Holderness there is a short-horned breed, chiefly valuable for its milking qualities. Cheese-making is largely carried on in some districts. Of sheep perhaps the most common breeds are the Leicester, Lincoln and South Down, and crosses between the Cheviot and the Leicester. Large numbers of pigs are kept at the dairy farms and fed mainly on whey. The small breed is that chiefly in favour. Yorkshire bacon is famous. Draught horses are generally of a somewhat mixed breed, but the county is famed for its hunters and carriage and saddle horses. The breed of Cleveland bays is much used for carriages.
Manufactures.—The industrial district of south Yorkshire occupies the S. of the W. Riding, and may be taken as marked off approximately by the watershed from the similar district in S. Lancashire. The W. Riding is now the chief seat of the woollen manufacture of the United Kingdom, and has almost a monopoly in the production of worsted cloths. The early development of the industry was in part due to the abundance of water-power, while later the presence of coal helped to maintain it on the introduction of steam-power. In this industry nearly all the most important towns are engaged, while the names of several of the largest are connected with various specialities. Thus, while almost every variety of woollen and worsted cloth is produced at Leeds, Bradford is especially concerned with yarns and mixed worsted goods, Dewsbury and Batley with shoddy, Huddersfield with fancy goods and Halifax with carpets. The cotton industry of Lancashire has also penetrated to the neighbourhood of Halifax. Among the characteristics of the industrial population, the love of music should be mentioned. Choral societies are numerous, and the work of some of those in the larger towns, such as Sheffield, Leeds and Bradford, has attracted wide notice. Next to the woollen industry comes the manufacture of iron and steel machinery and implements of every variety, which is common to most of the larger centres in the district. Sheffield is especially famous for iron-work, fine metal-work and cutlery. The development of the iron ore deposits of Cleveland dates only from the middle of the 19th century. About two and a half million tons of pig-iron are produced in this district annually, and there are considerable attendant industries, such as the production of steel, and shipbuilding. The chemical manufacture is important both here and in the W. Riding, where also a great variety of minor industries have sprung up. Such are leather working (at Leeds), the manufacture of clothing, printing and bleaching, and paper-making. Besides coal and iron ore, great quantities of clay, limestone and sandstone are raised. Excellent building-stone is obtained at several places in the W. Riding. The sea-fisheries are of some importance, chiefly at Hull, Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.
Communications.—N. and E. of Leeds communications are provided almost wholly by the North-Eastern railway, the main line of which runs from Leeds and from Doncaster N. by York, Thirsk and Northallerton. The main junction with the Great Northern line is effected immediately N. of Doncaster, at which town are the Great Northern works. This company serves the chief centres of the W. Riding, as do also the Midland Great Central, London & North-Western, Lancashire & Yorkshire and North Eastern companies, the trains working over a close network of lines, while the system of running-powers held by one or more companies over the lines of another assists intercommunication. The Midland main line to Carlisle runs by Leeds, Skipton and Settle through the hilly country of the W. The Hull & Barnsley line runs from Hull to Barnsley. A complete system of canals links the centres of the southern W. Riding with the sea both E. and W., the Aire & Calder Navigation communicating with the Ouse at Goole, the Huddersfield canal runs S.W. into Lancashire, crossing the watershed by the long Stanedge tunnel, and other canals are the Leeds & Liverpool, Calder & Nebble Navigation, and the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation, which gives access from Sheffield to the Trent. The Aire & Calder Navigation, the most important of these canals, which has branches from Castleford to Leeds and Wakefield, and other branches to Barnsley, Bradford and Selby, has a total length of 85 m., and has been much improved since its construction. It was projected by John Rennie and opened in 1826, with a depth of 7 ft. and locks measuring 72 by 18 ft. Its depth now varies from 8 ft. 6 in. to 10 ft., and over a distance of 28 m., between Goole and the collieries, the locks have been enlarged to 460 by 25 ft., and the width of the canal to 90 ft. The chief ports are Middlesbrough on the Tees, Hull on the Humber, and Goole on the Ouse.
Population and Administration.—The area of the ancient county is 3,882,328 acres. Its population in 1891 was 3,208,521, and in 1901, 3,584,762. The population increased over fivefold between 1801 and 1901; the increase in the W. Riding exceeding sevenfold. The manner in which the population is distributed may be inferred from the following statement of the parliamentary divisions, parliamentary, county and municipal boroughs, and urban districts in the three ridings. It should be premised that each of the three ridings is a distinct administrative county; though there is one high sheriff for the whole county. The city of York (pop. 77,914) is situated partly in each of the three ridings.
The West Riding has an area of 1,771,562 acres, with a population in 1891 of 2,445,033, and in 1901 of 2,750,493. Of this area the S. industrial district, considered in the broadest application of the term as extending between Sheffield and Skipton, Sheffield and Doncaster, and Leeds and the county boundary, covers rather less than one-half. The area thus defined includes the parliamentary divisions of Barnsley, Colne Valley, Elland, Hallamshire. Hoimfirth, Keighley, Morley, Normanton, Pudsey, Rotherham, Shipley, Sowerby, Spen Valley. It also includes parts of the divisions of Barkston Ash, Doncaster, Osgoldcross, Otley and Skipton (a small part). The remaining parts of these last divisions, with that of Ripon, cover the rest of the riding. Each division returns one member. The following are parliamentary boroughs: Bradford, returning 3 members, Dewsbury 1, Halifax 1, Huddersfield 1, Leeds 5, Pontefract 1, Sheffield 5, Wakefield 1. All these are within the industrial district. Within this district are the following municipal boroughs (pops. in 1901): Barnsley (41,086), Batley (30,321), Bradford, city and county borough (279,767), Brighouse (21,735), Dewsbury (28,060), Doncaster (28,932), Halifax, county borough (104,936), Huddersfield, county borough (95,047), Keighley (41,564), Leeds, city and county borough (428,968), Morley (23,636), Ossett (12,903), Pontefract (13,427), Pudsey (14,907), Rotherham (54,349), Sheffield, city and county borough (409,070), Todmorden (partly in Lancashire, 25,418), Wakefield, city (41,413). The only municipal boroughs elsewhere in the riding are Harrogate (28,423) and Ripon (cathedral city, 8230). Within the industrial region there are 113 other urban districts, those with populations exceeding 10,000 being Bingley (18,449), Castleford (17,386), Cleckheaton (12,524), Elland (10,412), Featherstone (12,093), Handsworth (13,404), Hoyland Nether (12,464), Liversedge (13,980), Mexborough (10,430), Mirfield (11,341), Normanton (12,352), Rawmarsh (14.587), Rothwell (11,702), Saddleworth (12,320), Shipley (25,573), Skipton (11,986), Sowerby Bridge (11,477), Stanley (12,290), Swinton (12,127), Thornhill (10,290), Wombwell (13,252), Worsborough (10,336). The only urban districts in the West Riding not falling within the industrial region are—Goole (16,576), Ilkley (7455), Knaresborough (4979) and Selby (7786).
The North Riding has an area of 1,362,378 acres, with a population in 1891 of 359,547 and in 1901 of 377,338. It comprises the parliamentary divisions of Richmond, Cleveland, Whitby, and Thirsk and Malton, each returning one member, and the parliamentary boroughs of Middlesbrough (one member), Scarborough (one member), and parts of Stockton-on-Tees and York. The municipal boroughs are Middlesbrough, county borough (91,302), Richmond (3837), Scarborough (38,161) and Thornaby-on-Tees (16,054). The urban districts are Eston (11,199), Guisborough (5645), Hinderwell (1937), Kirklington-cum-Upsland (255), Loftus (6508), Malton (4758), Masham (1955), Northallerton (4009), Ormesby (9482), Pickering (3491), Redcar (7695), Saltburn-by-the-Sea (2578), Scalby (1350), Skelton and Brotton (13,240), South

: "In this virtuous family there will be no trouble; the Sun will continually illumine the door."
In a room convenient to the Lodge, on the right of the "Market of Universal Peace," the candidates having purified their bodies by ablution, and wearing clean clothes, are prepared for admission.
Each candidate must be introduced by an office-bearer, who is supposed to be responsible for him, that during four months, the new member (52 新客) shall not even come to words with the brethren, and that for the term of three years, he shall not break the more important of the 36 articles of the Society's Oath.
Experience however shows, that this obligation sits very lightly on both new members and Head-men, at any rate amongst the class which now-a-days composes the Societies.
Each candidate having paid a fee of $3.50, ($2 of which go to the treasury of the Lodge, while the balance is expended in fees to office-bearers, and in the expenses of the evening), his surname, name, age, place and hour of birth, are entered on the Register of the Society, and copied on a sheet of Red paper.
In token of having cast off all allegiance to the present dynasty "Chheng," the "queue" of each is unbraided, and the hair allowed to flow loosely down the back, the right shoulder and breast are bared, and the candidate is not allowed to retain a single article on his person, except a jacket and short trousers.
In consideration of the poverty of most of the new-comers, they are not required to put on new clothes, but newly-washed raiment is insisted upon.
The Sien-Seng, Sien-Hong, Ang-Kun, and the Chhau-oes who act the parts of the Generals guarding the gates &c., must, however, dress in new clothes on every occasion.
After preparing the candidates, the Master proceeds to arrange the articles on the Grand altar, the most important part of this duty being the insertion of all the paraphernalia in the "Peck measure," or "Ang Tau." (53 紅斗) On the front

Windows app location / Run error
Greetings,
I recently had few projects on windows as well and it seems that there are some issues with the apps if i put them in the program files folder, they don`t run unless i open them with administrator privileges, and i have to do that all the time and to input the password.
Is there a certain way to have windows apps running on windows ? i tried to use the installer but same issues.
What would be the structure of an windows app, file locations, dll`s config files and so on.
So far i i put all in Documents folder it works ok but i cannot have the app there.
Thanks in advance .
If you simply copy the folder by the name of your app as it is created by Xojo upon build, it should work just fine in the C:\\Program Files(x86) folder. That is where Win32 apps should go.
Hello Michel,
Well it does not, i get an error “An exception of class IOException was not handled, The application mush shut down, Exception Error Number: 5”.
Once i right click on it and choose “Run as administrator” i have no more issues
I guess i`m holding the database as well in the same folder so i assume that this might be the issue but not sure.
Thanks.
It is.
Windows wont let you amend a files that is in a subdirectory of Program Files.
Put your support files in SpecialFolder.ApplicationSupport , and usually in a subfolder of that named for your company or app
Alright. Here is your problem : even if you don’t write to it, the database must be open as read/write. Since it is forbidden to write in the programs folder, you get your error.
At the first launch of your program, create a subfolder in SpecialFolder.ApplicationData by the name of your application, such as “com.NegreaSoft.Mygreatapp”.
Copy your database there, and use it there.
At subsequent launches, simply check with Exists if the database is there and go on.
I see Jeff just told you that.
Note that anything you write must be written there, such as preferences file.
Moral : NEVER, EVER place your data next to the exe. That was valid 20 years ago. We are in the 21st Century.

Can we serialize static variables in Java?
In Java, serialization is a concept using which we can write the state of an object into a byte stream so that we can transfer it over the network (using technologies like JPA and RMI).
But, static variables belong to class therefore, you cannot serialize static variables in Java. Still if you try to do so, the program gets compiled successfully but it raises an exception at the time of execution.
In the following java program, the class Student has a static variable and we are trying to serialize and desterilize its object in the another class named ExampleSerialize.
Example
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInput;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutput;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;
class Student implements Serializable{
private static String name;
public Student(String name){
this.name = name;
}
public static String getName() {
return name;
}
public static void setAge(String name) {
Student.name = name;
}
}
public class ExampleSerialize{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
Student std1 = new Student("Krishna", 30);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("e:\student.ser");
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(std1);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("e:\student.ser");
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
Student std2 = (Student) ois.readObject();
System.out.println(std2.getName());
}
}
Run time error
This program gets executed successfully but, while running you will get a run time exception as shown below −
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.FileOutputStream cannot be cast to java.io.ObjectOutput
at sample.TestSerialize.main(TestSerialize.java:31)

View source: R/lazy.R
Description
Set control parameters for a lazy learning object.
Usage

3
lazy.control(conIdPar=NULL, linIdPar=1, quaIdPar=NULL,
distance=c("manhattan","euclidean"), metric=NULL,
cmbPar=1, lambda=1e+06)
Arguments
conIdPar
Parameter controlling the number of neighbors to be used for identifying and validating constant models. conIdPar can assume different forms:
conIdPar=c(idm0,idM0,valM0):
In this case, idm0:idM0 is the range in which the best number of neighbors is searched when identifying the local polynomial models of degree 0 and where valM0 is the maximum number of neighbors used for their validation. This means that the constant models identified with k neighbors, are validated on the first v neighbors, where v=min(k,valM0). If valM0=0, valM0 is set to idMO: see next case for details.
conIdPar=c(idm0,idM0):
Here idm0 and idM0 have the same role as in previous case, and valM0 is by default set to idM0: each model is validated on all the neighbors used in identification.
conIdPar=p:
Here idmO and idMO are obtained according to the following formulas: idm0=3 and idMX=5*p. Recommended choice: p=1. As far as the quantity valM0 is concerned, it gets the default value as in previous case.
conIdPar=NULL:
No constant model is considered.
linIdPar
Parameter controlling the number of neighbors to be used for identifying and validating linear models. linIdPar can assume different forms:
linIdPar=c(idm1,idM1,valM1):
In this case, idm1:idM1 is the range in which the best number of neighbors is searched when identifying the local polynomial models of degree 1 and where valM1 is the maximum number of neighbors used for their validation. This means that the linear models identified with k neighbors, are validated on the first v neighbors, where v=min(k,valM1). If valM1=0, valM1 is set to idM1: see next case for details.
linIdPar=c(idm1,idM1):
Here idm1 and idM1 have the same role as in previous case, and valM1 is by default set to idM1: each model is validated on all the neighbors used in identification.
linIdPar=p:
Here idmO and idMO are obtained according to the following formulas: idm1=3*noPar and idM1=5*p*noPar, where noPar=nx+1 is the number of parameter of the polynomial model of degree 1, and nx is the dimensionality of the input space. Recommended choice: p=1. As far as the quantity valM1 is concerned, it gets the default value as in previous case.
linIdPar=NULL:
No linear model is considered.
quaIdPar
Parameter controlling the number of neighbors to be used for identifying and validating quadratic models. quaIdPar can assume different forms:
quaIdPar=c(idm2,idM2,valM2):
In this case, idm2:idM2 is the range in which the best number of neighbors is searched when identifying the local polynomial models of degree 2 and where valM2 is the maximum number of neighbors used for their validation. This means that the quadratic models identified with k neighbors, are validated on the first v neighbors, where v=min(k,valM2). If valM2=0, valM2 is set to idM2: see next case for details.
quaIdPar=c(idm2,idM2):
Here idm2 and idM2 have the same role as in previous case, and valM2 is by default set to idM2: each model is validated on all the neighbors used in identification.
quaIdPar=p:
Here idmO and idMO are obtained according to the following formulas: idm2=3*noPar and idM2=5*p*noPar, where in this case the number of parameters is noPar=(nx+1)*(nx+2)/2, and nx is the dimensionality of the input space. Recommended choice: p=1. As far as the quantity valM2 is concerned, it gets the default value as in previous case.
quaIdPar=NULL:
No quadratic model is considered.
distance
The distance metric: can be manhattan or euclidean.
metric
Vector of n elements. Weights used to evaluate the distance between query point and neighbors.
cmbPar
Parameter controlling the local combination of models. cmbPar can assume different forms:
cmbPar=c(cmb0,cmb1,cmb2):
In this case, cmbX is the number of polynomial models of degree X that will be included in the local combination. Each local model will be therfore a combination of the best cmb0 models of degree 0, the best cmb1 models of degree 1, and the best cmb2 models of degree 2 identified as specified by idPar.
cmbPar=cmb:
Here cmb is the number of models that will be combined, disregarding any constraint on the degree of the models that will be considered. Each local model will be therfore a combination of the best cmb models, identified as specified by id_par.
lambda
Initialization of the diagonal elements of the local variance/covariance matrix for Ridge Regression.
Value
The output of lazy.control is a list containing the following components: conIdPar, linIdPar, quaIdPar, distance, metric, cmbPar, lambda.

How to get the Specific Form Field value using JQuery
Related searches
I have a form
<form id="post_comment" action="cmt.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="sub" />
<textarea id="body"></textarea>
</form>
I am accessing the form using this code
$("#post_comment").submit(function(event){
var form = $(this);
});
How can I get the value of <input type="hidden" name="type" value="sub" /> from this form. I tried to get using form.input("type") but it is not working.
$("#post_comment").submit(function(event){
var inputValue = $("input[name='type']",this).val();
});
How to get the Specific Form Field value using JQuery, You have to use value attribute to get its value <input type="text" name=" FirstName" value="First Name" />. try - var text� To get a form value with jQuery, you need to use the val() function. To set a form value with jQuery, you need to use the val() function, but to pass it a new value. Example. You can try to run the following code to learn how to get and set form element values with jQuery − Live Demo
Try using an id like this:
<form id="post_comment" action="cmt.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id='hidden' name="type" value="sub" />
<textarea id="body"></textarea>
</form>
and later:
$("#post_comment").submit(function(event){
var hiddenValue = $("#hidden").val();
});
How to get a specific form elements using jQuery, val() method is primarily used to get the values of form elements such as input , select and textarea . When called on an empty collection, it returns undefined . This tutorial, Explains about, how to get input values of different HTML form elements using jQuery as follows: we have taken three form elements in our example – input field, radio button and a textarea. To get value of input field. $ ("input").val(); To get value of Checked Radio Button.
<form id="post_comment" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" class="hidden" name="type" value="sub" />
<textarea id="body"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit"/>
</form>
$(".submit").click(function(){
var hiddenVal=jQuery("#post_comment .hidden").val();
//alert(hiddenVal);
});
Jquery get form field value, I need to know how to reference a specific form element within a page with multiple forms and common element names, example below. Any help would be � If we’re using the name only and not specifying an id, the jQuery to get the form values would be this: window.alert( $('[name=foo]').val() ); window.alert( $('[name=bar]').val() ); If you have a group of radio buttons and want to get the selected button, the code is slightly different because they all have the same name.
var form = $(this);
var inputValue = form.find('input[name="type"]').val();
or
var form = $(this);
var inputValue = form.find('input:hidden').val();
.val(), Answer: Use the jQuery val () Method You can simply use the jQuery val () method to get the value in an input text box. Try out the following example by entering something in the text input box and then click the "Show Value" button, it will display the result in an alert dialog box.
$("#post_comment").submit(function(event){
var form = $("input[name='type']").val();
})
How to get and set form element values with jQuery, The .val () method is primarily used to get the values of form elements such as input, select and textarea. When called on an empty collection, it returns undefined. When the first element in the collection is a select-multiple (i.e., a select element with the multiple attribute set), .val () returns an array containing the value of each selected option.
The val() method returns or sets the value attribute of the selected elements. When used to return value: This method returns the value of the value attribute of the FIRST matched element. When used to set value: This method sets the value of the value attribute for ALL matched elements. Note: The val() method is mostly used with HTML form
$('#myForm').submit(function() { var values = $(this).serialize(); console.log(values); }); See the Pen jquery-practical-exercise-25 by w3resource (@w3resource) on CodePen. Contribute your code and comments through Disqus. Previous: How to get textarea text using jQuery. Next: Find the absolute position of an element using jQuery.
Get Hidden field value: Here in this tutorial will learn how we can get values of the hidden filed. As jQuery is a powerful javascript library by using which we can manipulate HTML DOM easily. In jQuery to get hidden field value we use.val() method. The .val() method is used to get the values of form elements such as input, select, textarea.

Talk:Siege of Krujë (1450)/Archive 1
About the "Popular culture and legacy" section.
No attempt is made to recognize Achilles or Alexander as an Albanian!!! It's merely what an Albanian poet said. If it causes controversy, feel free to remove it.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 00:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
* Never mind. I reworded it to avoid controversy. Sorry about that.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 01:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Result was Remove First, Second etc. -- S ulmues (talk) 12:33, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Requested move
First Siege of Krujë (1450) → First Siege of Krujë — Dates are redundant, as each siege is clearly named as first, second, etc. Constantine ✍ 08:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
* Second Siege of Krujë (1466) → Second Siege of Krujë
* Third Siege of Krujë (1467) → Third Siege of Krujë
* Fourth Siege of Krujë (1478) → Fourth Siege of Krujë
* Disagree. Actually, let's not change this. The year just gives some more information on the year. Removing it just removes information which is useful in the sea of wars occurred in 15th century. -- S ulmues (talk) 16:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
* OK Sulmues, then let's remove the "first", "second" etc. These terms are there for disambiguation. You can have either the numbers or the dates, not both, otherwise it seems as if there was also a First Siege of Krujë (1466), etc... Constantine ✍ 21:43, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
* That's what I think is best. Ready to move it if everyone agrees.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 22:33, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
* Yep, that sounds good. -- S ulmues (talk) 12:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
* I'm fine with it.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 20:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Few questions for Gaius
* 1) "While Skanderbeg had been away, a large assault was made on Krujë from the Tirana side, but friendly fire from the Turks caused them to call off the assault." The assault was Ottoman correct? What was the "friendly" fire? And who was called to call off the assault? -- S ulmues (talk) 22:32, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
* Yes, it was an Ottoman assault. The friendly fire would have been cannon-fire and musketry hitting Turkish troops. Murad called off the assault.--Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 22:37, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
* Didn't know. Wikified "friendly fire" for newbies of military like me. -- S ulmues (talk) 23:33, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Date of the end of the siege
"on October 26, Murad lifted the siege"
The infobox says that siege lasted til November 23.
What is the correct date of the end of the siege?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:24, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Unrelated image
presents siege of Rhodes in 1522. I propose to delete it since it is unrelated to the event.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:05, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Gjergj Arianiti
I am afraid that this article is maybe not factually correct regarding participation of Arianiti. No source is cited for participation of Arianiti in this battle. If the above source is correct, Arianiti left his alliance with Skanderbeg before this battle. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Multitenancy is when a number of completely different prospects are accessing the identical computing assets. For instance take into account, when a number of completely different firms are storing knowledge on the identical bodily server. Multi-tenancy is a vital characteristic of cloud computing.
What is multi-tenancy?
Multi-tenancy is an structure during which a single occasion of a software program or utility servers a number of prospects. Here every buyer is a tenant. Tenants might have the talents to customise some components of the appliance, comparable to UI shade, brand, firm title, tackle and so on. But tenant can’t modify the appliance’s code.
In this structure a number of situations of an utility function in a shared surroundings. Each tenant is built-in bodily, however separated logically. This sorts of structure is used to allow a number of customers to make use of a single utility.
Multi-tenant structure is used most with cloud computing. It is present in each public cloud (comparable to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud) and personal cloud. Also it’s a key a part of one other cloud mannequin, software program as a service (SaaS).
Multi-tenant Database
In multi-tenant structure database is essential matter. There are 3 ways we are able to design our database in multi-tenant system, with completely different complexity and price.
Single database, shared schema
In this technique one database is used to carry all of the tenant’s knowledge. Every tenant’s knowledge is saved in the identical desk. Each desk has a particular column that establish tenant’s row. Select operation is expensive, modify schema is straightforward & low expensive.
TenantId Id Name
1 1 John Abrar
1 2 Mikel Adward
2 3 Mr. Bell
Customer
Single database, separate schema
In this technique one database is used to carry all of the tenant’s knowledge. Each tenant knowledge is saved within the separate desk.
Id Name
1 John Abrar
2 Mikel Adward
Tenant1.Customer
Id Name
1 John Abrar
2 Mikel Adward
Tenant2.Customer
Database per tenant
In this technique every tenant has their very own database.

Add metrics timing message passing from OverseerSubsystemContext to Overseer::route_message (#2201) · 004dc50d
Peter Goodspeed-Niklaus authored
* add timing setup to OverseerSubsystemContext
* figure out how to initialize the rng
* attach a timer to a portion of the messages traveling to the Overseer
This timer only exists / logs a fraction of the time (configurable
by `MESSAGE_TIMER_METRIC_CAPTURE_RATE`). When it exists, it tracks
the span between the `OverSubsystemContext` receiving the message
and its receipt in `Overseer::run`.
* propagate message timing to the start of route_message
This should be more accurate; it ensures that the timer runs
at least as long as that function. As `route_message` is async,
it may not actually run for some time after it is called (or ever).
* fix failing test
* rand_chacha apparently implicitly has getrandom feature
* change rng initialization
The previous impl using `from_entropy` depends on the `getrandom`
crate, which uses the system entropy source, and which does not
work on `wasm32-unknown-unknown` because it wants to fall back to
a JS implementation which we can't assume exists.
This impl depends only on `rand::thread_rng`, which has no documentation
stating that it's similarly limited.
* remove randomness in favor of a simpler 1 of N procedure
This deserves a bit of explanation, as the motivating issue explicitly
requested randomness. In short, it's hard to get randomness to compile
for `wasm32-unknown-unknown` because that is explicitly intended to be
as deterministic as practical. Additionally, even though it would never
be used for consensus purposes, it still felt offputting to intentionally
introduce randomness into a node's operations. Except, it wasn't really
random, either: it was a deterministic PRNG varying only in its state,
and getting the state to work right for that target would have required
initializing from a constant.
Given that it was a deterministic sequence anyway, it seemed much simpler
and more explicit to simply select one of each N messages instead of
attempting any kind of realistic randomness.
* reinstate randomness for better statistical properties
This partially reverts commit 0ab8594c.
`oorandom` is much lighter than the previous `rand`-based implementation,
which makes this easier to work with.
This implementation gives each subsystem and each child RNG a distinct
increment, which should ensure they produce distinct streams of values.

Add relay storage root to persisted validation data (#2161) · 50538aa5
Sergey Pepyakin authored
* Cont.: Implement the state root obtaining during inclusion
During inclusion now we obtain the storage root by passing it through
the inclusion_inherent.
* Fix tests
* Bump rococo spec version
* Reorder the parent header into the end
of the inclusion inherent.
When the parent header is in the beginning, it shifts the other two
fields, so that a previous version won't be able to decode that. If
we put the parent header in the end, the other two fields will stay
at their positions, thus make it possible to decode with the previous
version.
That allows us to perform upgrade of rococo runtime without needing of
simultanuous upgrade of nodes and runtime, or restart of the network.
* Squash a stray tab

Support variable session length for Rococo chains at genesis (#2167) · 14da83d5
Bastian Köcher authored
This pr adds support to change the session length of a Rococo chain at
genesis. This is rather useful because Rococo has a session length of
1 hour, while on rococo-local you will now get 1 minute. This improves
the dev experience, because a parachain is only going live at the
start of a new session.

Two Views of the Eye | Cigna
Two Views of the Eye
Parts of the eye (outer view)
The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface. In a healthy eye, the conjunctiva is clear and colorless.
Parts of the eye (cross section)
The sclera is the tough outer layer of the eyeball (the white of the eye). The slight bulge in the sclera at the front of the eye is a clear, thin, dome-shaped tissue called the cornea. The cornea directs light rays into the eye and helps focus them on the retina.
The pupil is the opening in the colored part of the eye (iris). It allows light to pass to the lens. The iris controls the size of the pupil in response to light outside the eye so that the proper amount of light is let into the eye.
The lens is normally clear and is located behind the iris. Small muscles attached to the lens can change its shape. This allows the eye to focus on near or far objects.
Vitreous gel (also called vitreous humor) is a thick liquid that fills the eye. It helps the eyeball keep its shape.
The retina is a thin nerve tissue that lines the back of the eye. It detects light entering the eye and converts it into electrical impulses. The optic nerve carries the impulses to the brain. The brain interprets the impulses as the things that you see.
The macula is part of the retina. The macula provides the sharp, detailed, central vision that allows you to focus on what is directly in the line of sight. The rest of the retina provides side (peripheral) vision, which allows you to see shapes but not fine details.

Difference Between Similar Terms and Objects
Difference Between Codomain and Range
Both Codomain and Range are the notions of functions used in mathematics. While both are related to output, the difference between the two is quite subtle. The term “Range” sometimes is used to refer to “Codomain”. When you distinguish between the two, then you can refer to codomain as the output the function is declared to produce. The term range, however, is ambiguous because it can be sometimes used exactly as Codomain is used. Let’s take f: A -> B, where f is the function from A to B. Then, B is the codomain of the function “f” and range is the set of values that the function takes on, which is denoted by f (A). Range can be equal to or less than codomain but cannot be greater than that.
For example, let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and B = {1, 4, 8, 16, 25, 64, 125}. The function f: A -> B is defined by f (x) = x ^3. So here,
Domain = Set A
Codomain = Set B, and
Range (R) = {1, 8, 64, 125}
The range should be cube of set A, but cube of 3 (that is 27) is not present in the set B, so we have 3 in domain, but we don’t have 27 either in codomain or range. The range is the subset of the codomain.
What is Codomain of a Function?
The “codomain” of a function or relation is a set of values that might possibly come out of it. It’s actually part of the definition of the function, but it restricts the output of the function. For instance, let’s take the function notation f: R -> R. It means that f is a function from the real numbers to the real numbers. Here, codomain is the set of real numbers R or the set of possible outputs that come out of it. Domain is also the set of real numbers R. Here, you can also specify the function or relation to restrict any negative values that output produces. In simple terms, codomain is a set within which the values of a function fall.
Let N be the set of natural numbers and the relation is defined as R = {(x, y): y = 2x, x, y ∈ N}
Here, x and y both are always natural numbers. So,
Domain = N, and
Codomain = N that is the set of natural numbers.
Difference Between Codomain and Range
What is Range of a Function?
The “range” of a function is referred to as the set of values that it produces or simply as the output set of its values. The term range is often used as codomain, however, in a broader sense, the term is reserved for the subset of the codomain. In simple terms, range is the set of all output values of a function and function is the correspondence between the domain and the range. In native set theory, range refers to the image of the function or codomain of the function. In modern mathematics, range is often used to refer to image of a function. Older books referred range to what presently known as codomain and modern books generally use the term range to refer to what is currently known as the image. Most books don’t use the word range at all to avoid confusions altogether.
For instance, let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 4, 9, 25, 64}. The function f: A -> B is defined by f (x) = x ^2. So here, set A is the domain and set B is the codomain, and Range = {1, 4, 9}. The range is the square of A as defined by the function, but the square of 4, which is 16, is not present in either the codomain or the range.

Difference between Codomain and Range
Definition of Codomain and Range
Both the terms are related to output of a function, but the difference is subtle. While codomain of a function is set of values that might possibly come out of it, it’s actually part of the definition of the function, but it restricts the output of the function. Range of a function, on the other hand, refers to the set of values that it actually produces.
Purpose of Codomain and Range
Codomain of a function is a set of values that includes the range but may include some additional values. The purpose of codomain is to restrict the output of a function. The range can be difficult to specify sometimes, but larger set of values that include the entire range can be specified. The codomain of a function sometimes serves the same purpose as the range.
Example of Codomain and Range
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and the relation f: A -> B is defined by f (x) = x ^2, then codomain = Set B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and Range = {1, 4, 9}. The range is the square of set A but the square of 4 (that is 16) is not present in either set B (codomain) or the range.

Codomain VERSUS Range
Summary of Codomain vs. Range
While both are common terms used in native set theory, the difference between the two is quite subtle. The codomain of a function can be simply referred to as the set of its possible output values. In mathematical terms, it’s defined as the output of a function. The range of a function, on the other hand, can be defined as the set of values that actually come out of it. However, the term is ambiguous, which means it can be used sometimes exactly as codomain. However, in modern mathematics, range is described as the subset of codomain, but in a much broader sense.

Alan Teitleman
Alan was born in Abingdon, Pennsylvania and grew up in North East Philadelphia, attending private schools in Yardley and Philadelphia. His family moved to Matthews, North Carolina where he graduated from David W. Butler High School, as a North Carolina Academic Scholar. After graduation, he went to Appalachian State University, maintaining a GPA above 3.3 and earning the ASU Local Government Alumni Scholarship my sophomore year.
After College, Alan accepted a position in the North Carolina Legislature, serving as the legislative aide to the State House member who represented District 103. During that time, his roots in the district grew even deeper, with relationships built with dozens of elected officials, town staff, precinct officials, and the general public. During the near two years he served in the State House, Alan addressed hundreds of citizen complaints and constituent service requests. He quickly learned that the wheels of progress do in fact turn quite slowly, and that he wanted to affect change by serving the citizens of House District 103 as their Representative.
From a young age, Alan knew he had a calling to public service. While barely a high school student, he began his involvement on campaigns and worked as an intern for the State Treasurer. Throughout high school and beyond, Alan assumed numerous leadership roles within the Republican Party, including chairman of the Teenage Republicans of Mecklenburg County, Campus Director and later Chairman of the Appalachian State University College Republicans, Regional Director of the North Carolina Young Republicans and Vice-Chairman of the Mecklenburg Young Republicans.

Adolfo Bermudez
Adolfo Bermudez is an American professional wrestler, known by his ringname Dances with Dudleys, who competed in North American independent promotions including the American Wrestling Federation, International World Class Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, most notably as an early member of the Dudley family while wrestling for promotion during the mid-1990s.
Early career
Making his professional debut in 1992, Bermudez began wrestling for Angelo Savoldi's International World Class Championship Wrestling as Dancing Wolf of the Sioux War Party with White Cloud and within months of their debut defeated The Canadians in a tournament final to win the vacant IWCCW tag Team Championship in Hamburg, Pennsylvania on May 9, 1992.
Remaining undefeated for nearly a year, they eventually lost the titles to Jimmy Deo & L.A. Gore in Dover, New Hampshire on June 6, they regained the title that same night although they later vacated the titles after leaving the promotion the following year.
After a brief stay in the AWF, he and White Wolf won the AWF tag team titles before Burmudez was brought into Extreme Championship Wrestling to replace Snot Dudley who had been injured at ECW Hardcore Heaven earlier that year.
Extreme Championship Wrestling
Introduced by Daddy Dudley as one of several long lost members of the Dudley family in late 1995, he was supposedly the result of a visit from Daddy Dudley who had stayed for a time at an unnamed Cheyenne Reservation in Oklahoma. He and Dudley Dudley began teaming together loosing to the Steiner Brothers and Public Enemy during August although they later defeated Chad Austin & Don E. Allen at Gangstas Paradise on September 16, 1995 and later faced J.T. Smith and Hack Meyers in singles matches.
After loosing to ECW Tag Team Champions The Pit Bulls on September 23 and The Gangstas on October 6, Dudley Dudley left to pursue a singles career and was replaced by Buh Buh Ray Dudley however they would lose to The Pit Bulls, Public Enemy and The Eliminators during November and early December. Reuniting with Dudley Dudley at December to Dismember to defeat the Bad Crew on December 9, he and Buh Buh Ray Dudley would also defeat Bad Crew on December 28 although they would loose to them in a rematch two days later later that month.
In early 1996, Bermudez suffered a leg injury during a match against on April 13 and was attacked by D-Von Dudley following the match; this was D-Von Dudley's first appearance in the promotion. Following the attack by D-Von Dudley, he and the other members of the Dudleys feuded with the renegade Dudley. He and Chubby Dudley soon left the promotion however, allegedly in a dispute with promoter Paul Heyman.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is an adage which began as the caption of a famous The New Yorker cartoon published on 5 July 1993 and authored by Peter Steiner. The cartoon shows two dogs, one sitting on a chair in front of a computer speaking the caption to a second dog sitting on the floor As of 2000, the panel was the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker.
As a commentary on Internet privacy
The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of the Internet that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general obscurity, despite how little anonymity the internet actually provides. Lawrence Lessig suggests "No one knows" because the Internet protocols do not force a user to credential who they are, although local access points, such as a user's university, might; however, this information is privately held by the local access point and is not part of the Internet transaction.
As a commentary on Internet sociology
A study by Morahan-Martin and Schumacher (2000) on compulsive or problematic Internet use discusses this phenomenon, suggesting the ability to self-represent from the behind the computer screen may be part the compulsion to go online. The phrase can be taken "to mean that cyberspace will be liberatory because gender, race, age, looks or even 'dogness' are absent there," an understanding echoed in 1996 by John Gilmore, a key figure in the history of Usenet. The phrase also suggests the ability to "computer crossdress" and represent oneself as a different gender, age, race, etc. On another level, the "freedom which the dog chooses to avail itself of is the freedom to 'pass' as part of a privileged group; i.e. human computer users with access to the Internet."
Ryan Naumenko
Ryan Naumenko (AKA BiG TEK). Born 13th April 1983, Moe, Victoria, Australia.
Ryan Naumenko, was born April 13th 1983 to a european family in the small country town of Moe, Victoria, Australia.
Beginning life as someone who got pushed around at school, Naumenko, soon developed a circle of friends in Melbourne (2 hours away) to start gaining power and respect. His criminal career started at the age of 15. He began by selling stolen computers, game consoles, various weapons and new release CDs to the school community. He quickly grew from somebody who was disrespected to someone with alot more influence.
Once school had been completed (I beleive year 12 or so), he began work as a co-manager of a nightclub in his home town, Moe. The owners of the club were associated with various Melbourne street crews and were known mafioso. Manager and friend Tony Ambesi at the time was known for narcotics distribution, another person known only as "Zladi" (Zlatko Besic) controlled the sales of Speed, Ecstasy and Marijuana from Noble Park to Traralgon, both places in Victoria about 2 hours apart.
Naumenko saw this as a chance to open a door to something different, and so he began associating with the Melbourne underworld.
In 2005, Naumenko, was arrested and charged by the<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Embona Taskforce], a group of various skilled detectives set up to inflitrate the money laundering ring (scam) he was involved in. They approached him as he pulled up in his sky blue Mercedes Benz and proceeded to draw weapons upon him to force him out of the car.
The "Herald Sun", a major Melbourne newspaper, published a story about 1 month after the arrest, read the story here. Naumenko claimed in court to have never spoken to the Herald Sun about what happened and claims to this day the Herald Sun had no authority to publish the story as it made him out to be a "rat".
Naumenko, is now the CEO of independant record label "XXL Records Australia". He began this label from his own funds and is currently a major supporter in the fight to get kids off the street. It seemed for a while that Naumenko was changing his life, until recent incidents occured.
XXL has been under the close watch by many other small labels in the game, and Naumenko has been accused of funelling illegal funds through the label and donating it to various charities in the name of XXL Recordings. Also known in the hiphop circle as "BiG TEK", it is vary rare to see him at any clubs without undercover armed securuity guards hired from a major international security company to protect him from people in the hiphop community. As well as professional security guards he is regularly seen with two Melbourne and New York underworld figures, being good friend Dominic "Mimi" Scialo and the other Christopher Liberatore. Both associates are involved deeply in the "Columbo Crime Family" based in New York. Naumenko is also an "Australian Soldier" for the afore mentioned crime family, and therefore answers to Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli if called upon.
Naumenko, has now hired "high class" gangland lawyer, Zarah Garde-Wilson to represent him in upcomming court cases. Garde-Wilson has acted for underworld figures Carl Williams and also Tony (Antonias) Mokbel and has recently appeared in Australias "GQ" Magzaine. It is unclear if Naumenko is involved with either person (Mokbel or Williams).
Mr. Naumenko continues to be a player in the underworld, he is very intelligent and very rarely will slip up. He has been arrested and charge 16 time to date, and has not served on day of jail time.

Irish Ghetto Milan
The Irish Ghetto Milan is a small area in the Navigli district of South Central Milan which is home to Milan's greatest concentration of 'Italo-Irlandese' immigrants.
The heart of the Irish Ghetto in Milan encompasses the streets 'Via Vigevano' and 'Via Corsico', the latter being home to the infamous 'Casa Irlandese'. The bespoke 'Casa Irlandese' has been notably referred to in works of Italo Svevo and James Joyce who brought the Casa to life, scribing it as 'the durtiest of ghettos with the durtiest of burds to ever have set foot in the 'bel paese'. Today the 'Casa Irlandese' retains the memories of times past with its dilapidated interior and undesirable tenants, the majority of whom are female. Despite the rough character of the 'Casa Irlandese', the dwellers keep a relatively low key profile, living in peace with the neighbouring Roma and Crusty Communities - none of which wish to attract the attention of the ever vigilant Vigilanza Città di Milano authority.
Although life can be tough in the Irish Ghetto Milan, its residents maintain their own ways of escaping from the day to day reminders of their truly depressing and futile existence. The inhabitants of the 'Casa Irlandese' are easily spotted drowning their sorrows alongside their Italian down-and-out counterparts in 'Bradipo', a shady watering hole on Via Vigevano which is renowned for serving a ferosciously potent Negroni Sbagliato. One of the Italo-Irlandese, who has requested to remain anonymous for legal reasons, devotes much of his free time to egg-chasing, an up and coming adventure sport in italy which originates from the fields of Rathmines and Ranelagh in Ireland. Also worthy of note is the 'Irish Cenacolo'or 'Irish Last Supper' which derives its name from the occasion on which it is held, the last Sunday of the month that is. The 'Irish Cenacolo' is, however, an endangered event with growing competetion from the attractive Senegalese and Navigli Markets, where local sellers display antique furniture, mini tricycles and other categories of bric-a-brac.
Despite its long reigning tenure in the Navigli area, the Irish Ghetto is, however, entering an uncertain period in its history with many of it chief founders rumoured to be planning their return to Ireland within the coming 12 months. The legacy of the Irish Ghetto Navigli will, no doubt, live on; in the form of the annual Navigli St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quarterly art exhibitions at the Pinacoteca di Brera.

Steve Yetman is a notbale geographer, specialising in physical geography. He is also Admiral Supreme of the RGS Naval Fleet, and a hugely inspiring charcter, always ready and willing to lead his troops into battle, in the name of his country and establishment. He is a pragmatic charcter, possibly even an anachronism, being ahead of his time in both political stance and teaching methods. Particular favourites include the A3 fact sheet on case studies like the Bangladesh Floods and the Epping Forest Management Schemes. He has, however, not always been a geographer. Some of his jobs include a barman, accountant and chalet boy. He is known to be a keen skier and runs the Ski Race Team in his spare time. He regularly visits his parents in Guernsey. His marital status is unknown at the moment. Most of all he is an inspiration to all the RGS Naval Cadets and to his students. A truly great man.

Casey-Lee Jolleys
Casey-Lee made her television debut at the tender age of nine years old singing and dancing her way into the final on Saturday superstore search for a superstar (BBC). After winning numerous British, English and World Championship titles in ballet, tap, modern and disco dancing Casey-Lee was asked to partner that late Roy Castle in a tap dancing duet at the Children’s Royal Variety Show in front of Princess Margaret. To date no one has ever won all three British dance Championships in ballet, tap and modern dancing and retained them for more than three consecutive years. Nippon Television in Tokyo Japan invited Casey-Lee to appear in a program featuring talented children from around the world which was an incredible experience at nine years of age. Having got the chance to co-host the Saturday morning program It’s Wicked (BBC) she caught the bug of presenting live television and later went on to present channel 5’s Milkshake for two years. Casey-Lee appeared in the children’s drama series Gruey (BBC) followed by Gruey Twoey playing the part of Annie Mappin. After completing her “A” levels Casey-Lee performed in the West End hit musicals Starlight Express and Miss Saigon. She also starred in many pantomimes up and down the country, Aladdin Lowry Theatre Salford (Princess Jasmine), Peter Pan Palace Theatre Mansfield (Tinkerbell), Dick Whittington Theatre Royal Plymouth and New Theatre Cardiff (Alice Fitzwarren), Jack and the Beanstalk New Wimbledon Theatre London (Princess Apricot), Cinderella Palace Theatre Mansfield (Cinderella) and Aladdin Theatre Royal Glasgow (Princess Jasmine). Casey-Lee stared in the popular children’s series Beachcomber Bay for Channel 5 and due to its overwhelming success filmed it for three years. When Coronation Street (ITV Granada) asked Casey-Lee to play the part of Orchid/Stacey she was thrilled and won a Heritage Award for her performance in this role. Since working together with Bobby Ball in Pantomime at The Theatre Royal Cardiff in Wales it became their joint ambition to open an Academy incorporating all forms of Dance, Drama, Singing and Comedy and in 2007 this dream became reality with the opening of The Casey-Lee Jolleys Academy of Dance & Drama in Bolton, Lancashire. Casey-Lee is proud to be starring in pantomime in Preston this year (2007) and what makes it extra special is that the babes will be children from her own Academy of Dance & Drama.
Islandeady
Islandeady Parish - a Short History The name Islandeady or Oilean Eadaigh may be derived from 13th century St Eiden who founded a church in the hillside cemetery. A church site at Annagh dates from Patrician times. Ancient churches were at Rehins, which Patrick also visited, Drimneen, Kilbree and Knockbawn in Glenisland.
Aolain, who gives his name to Glenisland ‘Gleann Aolain’, was a saint who lived here. Nearby, in Pollanass, is a double-cupped stone reputed to show the marks of the hermit’s knees.
Islandeady parish borders those of Westport, Kilmeena and Castlebar, and stretches from Crumpaun river, near Glenhest on the north, to Ayle near Aughagower on the south.
Traces of Mass paths in many villages leading to the Church are proof of the devotion of the people to the Mass. In 1574 Islandeady was a curacy only. In 1591, however, Very Rev. Hubert Og Burke was parish priest and Rev John Hubain curate.
The present church of Islandeady, dedicated to St Patrick, was originally thatched. On his appointment as parish priest in 1849 Very Rev John Fitzgerald had the building slated and the centre aisle, or ‘long house’, was added.
The Church of the Holy Rosary in Glenisland was built in 1820 for 150 pounds.
Islandeady was decimated by the Famine. In 1834 the Catholic population was 9,164. Two decades later, the number had dwindled by half. In 1844 there were 370 baptisms. Nine years later only one hundred babies were baptised. The population of the parish in 2003 stood at 1550.
The earliest recorded baptisms and marriages come from Very Rev Richard Henry, appointed parish priest in 1839. Celebrations marking 150 years of those records were held in 1989.
Evictions were commonplace when Very Rev Thomas O’Malley, a Jesuit, was appointed parish priest in 1872. Fr. O’Malley, a native of the parish, was highly influential and his intervention saved many tenants from eviction by the agents of landlords to whom he did not endear himself.
A former curate, Rev Francis J. McCormack, (1862-1867), was appointed Bishop of Achonry and, from 1887 until his death in 1909, was Bishop of Galway.
Further refurbishment of St Patrick’s Church was undertaken by Very Rev Stephen Blowick - brother of Fr. John, cofounder of the Society of St Columban - following his appointment as parish priest in 1951. Very Rev Anthony O’Toole had the ‘Long House’ porch added in 1988.
Islandeady Community Council We in Islandeady are very fortunate to have a magnificent voluntary organisation such as the Community council, working tirelessly on behalf of the Community. The Council began in 1976, almost thirty years ago and has gone from strength to strength.
Early Days Prior to 1976 people had their own wells, or got water from local rivers and lakes. One of the first projects the newly formed Community Council took on was the provision of a clean reliable water supply to all households and farms. The condition of the many roads in our parish was another area of great concern. Many roads needed urgent resurfacing or other remedial work. Until the advent of the Community Council, there was no organisation in approaching the Authorities on behalf of individuals or villages. Indeed many roads were in a dreadful condition with some still not yet been tarred. Significant improvements have been made since then due to the persistence of Community Council members.
Achievements The following is just some of the Community Council achievements over the years:
Car Parking facilities at Islandeady Church and Graveyard Sign Post from main roads to villages, many of which have been set in stone The removal of dangerous bends and other hazards on some of our minor roads in the Parish The management of several FAS schemes in the Parish, comprising of local men who carried out work that greatly enhance the appearance of the area and such examples are as follows: Building of superb stone walls in a variety of locations throughout the Parish Excellent development work at the Islandeady GAA pitch Involvement in the installation of Islandeady Group Water Scheme Restoration of the Old Church and development of the old part of the Cemetery The building of stone shrines at St Patrick’s Church Islandeady and the Cemetery In conjunction with the Islandeady Angling Club, wonderful development of the shoreline of Bilberry lake to facilitate the mooring of Boats and additional ancillary works The production of the Islandeady Millennium Parish Magazine and a Souvenir publication of “Islandeady Parish” past & present. The most recent and greatest achievement of recent times has been the successful refurbishment of the Community Centre in Islandeady

HP-67
In mid 1976 the HP-67 was launched 2 and ½ years later than the HP-65 to replace it. The HP-67 takes the same features than the HP-65, like the magnetic card reader, the programmable functions and even the same looking, but adds more memory and is more user friendly.
The HP-67 was declined in a printer version : the HP-97 (a desktop model, also working on batteries). Both models were fully compatible (exept that the 67 doesn't print) and shared a huge program library. Despite their price (see below), these models were at the time very popular. To benefit from both program library and popularity, in 1979 the HP-41C was introduced with a magnetic card reader, which made this calculator compatible with the HP-67/97 programs.
Prices
In 1977 : HP-67: $450, HP-97: $750

This episode opens during a pitch meeting. Jerry pitches in a game he's creating called "Space Assassins".

Just then, a brick message smashes through the window, inside the meeting room, and hits Dean before landing on the table. Larrity reads the message, realizing that Bellecovision has challenged Gameavision to a "wrassling" match and fight for respect. Mary is clueless about this scenario, but Larrity briefly explains it to her. Larrity then orders everyone to the break room to see who is worthy to wrestle. (To be continued) Category:Code Monkeys

PHIL BLANCO
Phil Blanco was introduced to the world on April 13, 1979. It took a mere 6 years for him to not only understand his gift, but embrace it. Within that 6th year, he had written his first “rhyme”, which was strongly influenced by rap mogul “LL Cool J.” In that very moment everyone surrounding him knew destiny would lead him into his love of music. Born to a strong willed mother, abandoned by his paternal father, it seemed North Philadelphia would receive the best of him. He accepted huge responsibility within the streets, which is vividly displayed in his craft. The “Street Life” became his greatest promotion, as his peers began to relate to the strife he was forced to endure daily. He felt the streets converted into a studio where watchful eyes lingered upon him for his undoubted abilities. However, those jealous eyes would become his greatest inspiration. Motivated to outlast intense lyrists, he strived to become lyrically resilient; to not only be able to spit what was understood in the streets, but what was understood as knowledge. His smooth transition and educated use of metaphors allowed him to “out” rhyme opponents, while remaining one step above the game. His lyrical capacity brought street notoriety and producer extraordinaire, Don Cannon. Together they created his debut album “Live in the 2-1-5.” This talent, his life, which he crafted into a masterpiece, broke down many barriers in such a short time. Nevertheless, stuffing the pride of peers, many of which came before his time, carried greater risks and encouraged others to seek out revenge. It seemed his Gift evolved into a curse. With all the attention, Phil Blanco received the possibility for him to predict his outcome was dismal. His arrogance and “on top of the world” attitude came to a screeching halt when his numerous ventures with street life captured him, costing him more then just money, but his freedom, as well. Five years had passed before Phil Blanco would make his come back. Mentally and lyrically stronger, he grasped life by the hand and seized the streets by storm. Complete with a new outlook on life and a vow to focus on his first love, all of his free time and energy would be devoted to music. With determination and the sole weight of his fingertips, he discovered how to create and produce his own beats undertaking a new freedom, which he ultimately followed up with his sophomore album titled “Da Calm Before the Storm.” Now, seasoned to the industry, he is approaching the spotlight with a “Grown Man” mentality and a determination that will set anyone’s soul on fire. Although, his music, which has achieved a high most dream of…. recognition, the question he seems to leave everyone asking is “Who is Phil Blanco?” The answer to that is simple, as there is no other title that fits his well crafted persona besides, “The Man, The Myth, The Legend.” For more information on this infamous artist or to hear his latest singles, check out www.myspace.com/philblanco. His newest album can be expected to drop mid summer 2007, with singles such as, “Hustla”, “Leanin’ to the side”, “Fire in my eyes” and “Let’s Go.”
The Bon Mots
The Bon Mots
In 2000, Michigan-bred veterans Mike Coy and Eric Chial, whose groups Big Angry Fish and Mitch recorded for Chicago collective Beluga Records in the ‘90s formed The Bon Mots. They brought in Mike’s long-time drummer Kevin Hoetger, who in turn brought in multi-instrumentalist Chris Frantisak, in Light FM and Urge Overkill at the time, to play keys.
The group recorded their debut le Main Drag in 2002 with Neal Ostrovsky (drummer for The Webb Brothers (Warner UK) at his B-Side Audio studio in Chicago. Following Kevin’s move to Austin, Texas in 2002, Jason Styx hit skins for the group at many shows until Neal took over as the group’s permanent drummer in 2004.
Released in late 2003, le Main Drag received significant national college and commercial radio play. The group’s strong songwriting, mid-sixties informed spooky jangle, and British mod and New Zealand pop influences garnered glowing reviews in SPIN, All Music Guide, Amplifier, Big Takeover, USA Today, Chicago Reader and New City, Portland’s Dagger, F5-Wichita, Copper Press, and the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, among many others.
The Bon Mots have performed on bills with Bob Mould, The Church, The Minders, The Smithereens, Carbon Leaf, The Redwalls, Wheat, The Waco Brothers, and many other great bands, and were invited to play the BMI Stage at Lollapalooza in August 2006.
The group released its second long-player, “Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots” on September 28, 2007. www.thebonmots.com www.myspace.com/thebonmots
Reviews of le Main Drag:
SPIN: If Le Main Drag is any indication, the Bon Mots are one of the most promising new bands out there. Before long, they might have a chart-topping double LP on their hands. Think Spoon with a shot of simmered down Hot Hot Heat and a nod to the Yardbirds to boot.
AMPLIFIER: The promise of effusive melodies and surefire hooks may be the initial lure, but a further listen defies any attempt to easily categorize them as mere revisionists. Theirs is a skewered delivery, an atmospheric, heavily textured ambiance that makes their approach sound slightly somewhat aloof and less embraceable than those they're said to emulate. . . they more accurately resemble bands like The Church and REM, groups that also draw on '60s references but often filter them through a hazy, psychedelic sheen. Droll vocals contribute to this perception. . . there's an understated irony that frequently underscores their bittersweet melodies.
JIM DeROGATIS, THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Appealingly jangly psychedelic/power-pop drawing on the familiar influences of the Byrds and Zombies but rise to the top of this always-overcrowded genre by virtue of its strong songwriting, atmospheric keyboards and the swirling production of its 12-song album..”
JACK RABID, THE BIG TAKEOVER: The New Zealand sound of Flying Nun and circa 1986 British whisper-kiss style is alive, with nods to The Chills, The Bats, Church, Help!-era Beatles meets Squeeze and Elvis Costello.
MONICA KENDRICK, THE CHICAGO READER: A lush, mature, and audacious mix of heady guitar fizz and old old-fashioned pop songwriting – a pinch of Zombies and Kinks here, a dash of The Smiths and The Clean there, a splash of something slightly Soft Boys for spice.”
ALL MUSIC GUIDE: The Bon Mots just may be Chicago's best-kept secret. Lush, dreamy odes, head bopping, hummable numbers, and hazy, jazzy, dark and rumbling tunes cement just how dexterous these guys really are.
TIM HINELY, DAGGER: They take the best part of late 80’s New Zealand Jangle (think Straightjacket Fits) and blend it into their own near-perfect stew. Named as Dagger’s Top “Under the Radar” Record for 2003
F5 WITCHITA’S ALT PRESS: Chicago’s The Bon Mots possess much of the same wry mania that Guided By Voices helped originate; they marry it with the kind of insights that are no doubt lurking behind Rufus Wainwright’s marble-mouthed mumblings.
INDEPENDISC (Record of the Year, 2003): The Bon Mots channel an old-school, New Wavy, Garage, Pop rock that reminds us of The Hollies crossed with The Jam, and sprinkled over with a bit of Squeeze and Elvis Costello and the Attractions.”
Reviews of FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS WITH THE BON MOTS:
CHICAGO READER (Monica Kendrick): People give a lot of lip service to the arsenal of vintage gear this Chicago band has stockpiled. I guess when it takes you four years to release the follow-up to an acclaimed debut, the fans have to find something to talk about. But the new album, Forty Days and Forty Nights With the Bon Mots (Mellifluid), sure was worth the wait. The two principal songwriters, Mike Coy and Eric Chial, deliver 13 songs of sensuous Rickenbacker 12-string and flirtatious organ that sound like they were frozen in amber and polished until they could all but emit their own light. This is a record-release party; Welcome to Ashley opens. Friday, 10 PM, Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia,<PHONE_NUMBER> or<PHONE_NUMBER>, $8.
CHICAGOIST (Tankboy): The Bon Mots' profile has long been on the rise, including a spot on last year's Lollapalooza bill, and it seems certain to only climb higher with the release of their sophomore effort Forty Days And Forty Nights With The Bon Mots. Singers/guitarists Mike Coy and Eric Chial again share songwriting duties, alternating spots on the track listing, and again we find ourselves enjoying the way the two men's complementary yet conflicting styles complement each other. Coy tends towards the more straightforward tempos and sunny melodies, while Chial traipses through territory marked by Byrds-ian guitar flourishes and a slightly unbalanced rhythmic delivery that keeps the listener engaged and on their toes. Both men have a severe weak spot for the sugary beauty of pure pop, and both have an uncanny knack for composing songs that make one want to snap their fingers from side-to-side while doing the shimmy-shimmy-shake. The new disc also benefits from the addition of Neal Ostrovsky's solid drumming that manages to swing while still nailing down the beat. His chops help the band get a little grit in there, giving their songs better traction and a more solid presence. The band's secret weapon, though, just might be keyboardist Chris Frantisak. He hides in the background, but his layers of keys and vocal melodies support everything the band does. We're looking forward to seeing all four men replicating the savoir-faire and fine wit of this album at their CD release party this Friday.
CHICAGO NEW CITY (Tom Lynch): For an intoxicating dose of slap-happy, sixties-inspired pop look no further than The Bon Mots' upcoming "Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots," an improvement on the band's debut "le Main Drag" and a fun excursion altogether. Opener "Walk to California" is especially hook-filled, followed by the jangly, smooth "Past or Present," a beach-bum kind of song that makes the most of the band's vocal harmonizing, if only for brief moments. And "On Her Telephone" is pure pop bliss, a bit like what the Lemonheads used to do so god-damn well. An entirely light, enjoyable record from start to back, it's nice to know that The Bon Mots exist in this cruel, cruel world. Tonight the band celebrates the record's release.
DAILY HERALD (Mark Guarino): This is a CD release show to celebrate "Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots," the second album from the Chicago band that, since debuting four years ago, remains one of the area's best-kept secrets. In recent years the band's knack for lush harmonies, big guitar riffs and gauzy psychedelic textures puts them in league with early-era R.E.M. and classic Byrds records. Live, they prove to be more than revisionists, delivering songs just as strong on their own.
www.AVANTCHICAGO.com (Brent Kado): If you were into any facet of indie music in 2004, Le Main Drag by the Bon Mots was an album you most certainly heard or heard someone talking about. The group's debut garnered more ink and college radio play then most band's could wish for in a decade. Spin called the Bon Mots, "one of most promising new bands out there," and the Reader claimed that Le Main Drag was, "a lush, mature, and audacious mix of heady guitar fizz and old-fashioned pop songwriting." From the Sun-Times to USA Today Le Main Drag got stellar marks. Now after almost three years the Bon Mots return with their sophomore release, Forty Days and Forty Nights with the Bon Mots. The band has expanded their sound with more lush harmonies and deeper instrumentation. Take a listen to Emily's Birds and On Her Telephone on their Myspace page and you'll hear the Sixties style pop wadding in atmospheric haze. And while Forty Days and Forty Nights has yet to go on sale you can get an advance copy Friday at the Hideout and see the Bon Mots and Welcome to Ashley for only $8. See the band (and get their album) that everyone will be buzzing about in a few months from now.

Corbanism refers to living a life modeled after the teachings of Corban, the German-born philosopher of the 1600's (Corban Primer, 1886-2007). Corbanism has often been called a religion, but, due to its lack of specified deity, is more accurately termed a way of life. The adherents of Corbanism are called Corbans and are most notable for being the constituents of what may be the smallest, worldwide cultural sect.
History
Corbanism was created by Corban, a German-born philosopher of the 1600's who moved from Germany to England to China. He spent much of his time comparing European and Chinese ways of life and concluded that whatever one culture could do without was not needed by any culture. For example, Europeans generally held that their was a God that governed the universe and that our eternal salvation is contingent upon doing good works to please Him. However, the concept of the Christian God and of earthly efforts having specific eternal rewards was foreign to the Chinese. As such, Corban concluded that specific spirituality and religion are not absolute requirements for a successful society. In fact, it was Corban's conclusion that religion and spirituality only serve to give the constituents of a society common points of reference and moral doctrines. He proposed that a moral code in combination with recognized observances and rituals would be sufficient to hold a society together. Initially, the teachings of Corban were kept only through oral tradition, but, by the mid-1800's every Corban was responsible for accurately recording the two major works that define Corban practices and doctrine--the Manuscript and the Corban Primer. (The earliest Corban Primer and Manuscript combination with verifiable authenticity was dated 1886 and is now used to evalute all subsequent copies(Summit of the Five, 1921).) However, even though much of Corban doctrine is written down, it is still subject to interpretation and thus different "disciplines" have developed in recent years. Despite this, all Corbans agree with the basic principles of the Manuscript and view themselves as pupils of Corban.
Major Beliefs
Most of Corban doctrine can be summarized in six general principles that are as follows (Manuscript, Chronicle):
Multiple Faces: The belief that it is usually of greater benefit to act differently around different people in order to maximize resources.
Complements: Validation by the approval of another, or that a person's life is meaningless unless another person recognizes the effect of that person's life.
Natural Rights: All persons will do as they see fit and morality only need become an issue when the natural rights of two or more individuals directly interfere one another.
Natural Law: That every result must have a definite cause.
Continual Learning: The belief that self-betterment is best accomplished by a continual state of seeking greater understanding of the world around you.
Implied Sentient Dominance: That since humans are aware of the decision-making process they are responsible for the consequences of those decisions. Also, external factors do not become significant unless they present only a single option. In that case, since there is no decision to make, the sentient being is not the dominant factor in its environment.
Storm 106
Storm 106 was a Pirate radio station broadcasting to the North East of Ireland between 31st January 2002 and September 9th 2006. The station was based in Dundalk, Ireland and broadcast on 106.2MHz from a transmitter located across the border in Forkhill, Northern Ireland The station's policy was to play a genre of Dance Music which could not be heard on other radio stations broadcasting to the area and was especially popular among the 15-34 age group.
Origin
Storm 106 was created by ex presenters from Kiss 106 (a popular radio station in the area in the 1990's), and was originally targeted to service, Louth, Meath, Eastern parts of Cavan and Monaghan and North Co. Dublin. Although the transmitter was located in Northern Ireland, the Studio was always located in Dundalk, and the station seemed to go to great difficulty to avoid being heard in Northern Ireland easily.
Action taken against station
In November 2005 the transmission site was visited by Ofcom and was ordered off the air, with the threat of prosecution to the owners of the transmission site. The station has made comebacks since that time, from a host of transmission sites both north and south of the border and transmissions continued until September 2006 on a regular basis.
Move to Internet Broadcasting
From September 9th 2006 the station is only available on the Internet via the Station's website. The move off FM took place because the stations management were intending to apply for the forthcoming North East youth license subsequently won by I Radio
Current unauthorised FM Relays
Throughout 2007 there have beeen a number of unsanctioned FM relays of the stations Webstream, most recently targetting the Newry, Craigavon and Derry areas. Some of these have been removed by Ofcom/ComReg, however, however as of October 2007 these can still be heard.
October 2007 Name Change
To distance the station from the unofficial FM relays,Storm 106 renamed themselves to nonstopstorm.com on October 1st 2007. The station also dropped all references to 106 on their new web portal as the station's former frequency, 106.2MHz has ironically been allocated to the winner of the North East regional youth license i 104-106FM which is due to commence broadcasting in December 2007

There are two kind of references you can make from template() strings:
1) macros: this is the original stuff, these cannot be changed as they
usually involve some kind of code to transform data from the internal
representation to the expanded string, examples: FACILITY, PRIORITY,
date related macros, and so on
2) name-value pairs: these were introduced in syslog-ng 3.0 and cover
all values that are string-like properties of a message
Macros cannot be changed (at least not directly via set/subst) whereas
name-value pairs can be. To make things more complicated (all in the
name of compatibility) there are some macros that are in fact name-value
pairs, but require transformation when config version is for older
syslog-ng release (e.g. 2.1 or older).
That said, the list of macros are to be found in the templates.c source

There are currently only string based rewrite functionality in
syslog-ng, e.g. only string-like properties of a message can be changed.
E.g. facility/priority is not possible right now. Although we're
planning to have that functionality too.
With some hackery you can change the facility/priority field though:
* create a custom template that includes a static value as the PRI
field of the message:
e.g. template("<166>$DATE $HOST $MSGHDR$MSG\n");
The value 166 is equal to local4.info, calculated using the formula:
(numeric value of facility) * 8 + (numeric value of severity)
The numeric values can be found in RFC3164 or /usr/include/sys/syslog.h
* once you have the template, just send those to a pipe destination,
which you also read from the same syslog-ng instance with a pipe source.
Just make sure you don't create an infinite loop.
>
> 3. If not, why can't I change the facility or the priority ?
Simply because we're not there yet and because I didn't feel it that
important when we implemented the rewrite functionality. It seems that I
was wrong, because many of you are requesting this feature. That's why I
already scheduled it for syslog-ng 3.2

Papyrus was made from the papyrus plant, a tall, reedy plant that grew in abundance in the marshes of ancient Egypt. Once gathered, the plant was cut into strips several inches long. The outer rind was stripped off, leaving the soft white pithy center. The pith was cut lengthwise into strips. The strips were moistened with water. The addition of water made the pith gummy. Then the strips were laid out side by side on a hard surface, the edges of the strips touching or barely overlapping. A second layer of strips was laid at a perpendicular angle across the first layer. Cloth was used to absorb the excess water. The gummy residue in the papyrus bound the strips together, and bound one layer to the next. To complete the binding of the two layers, they were pounded with a wooden mallet. Then the sheet was placed under a weight, and left in the sun to dry. Once dry, the papyrus sheet was trimmed around the edges, and its surface was smoothed with a pumice stone. The surface was then polished with shell, stone, or ivory. Then the sheet was attached to other sheets using paste made from flour. The resulting long sheets could then be rolled up into scrolls.

Opinion | Unions Knocking on the Academy’s Doors
Editorial Observer Life for many graduate students is about to change for the better. For decades, universities treated graduate teaching and research assistants not as professionals in their own right, but as supplicants working long hours for low pay in return for the privilege of being considered for the academic club. But a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board now requires private universities to bargain with graduate-employee labor unions over compensation and working conditions. Columbia University’s graduate assistants are likely to be first to the negotiating table, because the ruling was in response to their petition. Organizing efforts are also underway at Harvard, Yale and other elite private schools that long resisted graduate-employee unions, even as public universities have unionized without any harm to academic life. Every Ivy League school, as well as Stanford and M.I.T., sided with Columbia before the board in opposing the right of graduate students to bargain collectively. For a preview of how unions may change the graduate experience, consider New York University, whose graduate assistants in 2001 became the first at a private university to form a union and negotiate a contract. Before they started organizing, most of them had been receiving annual stipends of $10,000 and had to pay for their health insurance. Under the contract, which ran through 2005, minimum salaries rose by at least 38 percent, to $18,000 for a Ph.D. student in the 2004 academic year, and by 15 percent for graduate employees earning above the minimum. N.Y.U. also agreed to pay the entire cost of graduate employees’ health care coverage. Other new benefits and protections included pay for pre-semester teaching-related duties, subsidies for child care, overtime pay that counted the hours spent grading papers, and grievance procedures to resolve claims of discrimination and harassment. The effects were felt beyond New York University. Columbia, Yale and other private universities followed suit with raises and new benefits for their graduate assistants, though they generally maintained that they made the changes to remain competitive and not to stop union-organizing activity, which started spreading in the wake of the success at N.Y.U. In 2004, however, this new era was cut short when the N.L.R.B., in a misguided decision, revoked the right of graduate assistants to bargain collectively. N.Y.U. refused to negotiate when the original contract expired in 2005, and over the next decade most of the improvements eroded. Undeterred, graduate assistants continued to organize, usually through the United Automobile Workers, which had successfully organized graduate-assistant unions at many public universities. In another turn in the long path to unionization, N.Y.U. relented in late 2013 and became — for the second time — the only private university to negotiate a contract with graduate assistants. Under the new terms, which cover 1,200 employees from 2015 to 2020, Ph.D. teaching assistants generally receive annual compensation of $36,600, with guaranteed raises each year of about 2.4 percent. Medical and child care benefits have been expanded and grievance procedures reinstated. Again, pay and benefits improved at other universities. But, as the N.Y.U. saga shows, progress is not secure without unionization. Will the private universities keep fighting despite the labor board ruling? This month, Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both of New York, wrote to Lee Bollinger, the president of Columbia University, urging that his administration refrain from intimidation or other actions that would delay a union vote or contract negotiations. Collective bargaining, the senators wrote, is “consistent with traditions of academic freedom and the highest quality teaching, learning and research.” Columbia and the other private universities that once insisted otherwise now have the chance to embrace the wisdom of that argument.

Object as an Argument in Java
Submitted by Abhishek Jain, on June 10, 2017
Object as an argument is use to establish communication between two or more objects of same class as well as different class, i.e, user can easily process data of two same or different objects within function.
In Java, When a primitive type is passed to a method ,it is done by use of call-by-value . Objects are implicitly passed by use of call-by-reference.
This means when we pass primitive data types to method it will pass only values to function parameters so any change made in parameter will not affect the value of actual parameters.
Whereas Objects in java are reference variables, so for objects a value which is the reference to the object is passed. Hence the whole object is not passed but its referenced gets passed. All modification to the object in the method would modify the object in the Heap.
Passing Object as Parameter in Function
class Add
{
int a;
int b;
Add(int x,int y)// parametrized constructor
{
a=x;
b=y;
}
void sum(Add A1) // object 'A1' passed as parameter in function 'sum'
{
int sum1=A1.a+A1.b;
System.out.println("Sum of a and b :"+sum1);
}
}
public class classExAdd
{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
Add A=new Add(5,8);
/* Calls the parametrized constructor
with set of parameters*/
A.sum(A);
}
}
Output
Sum of a and b :13
While creating a variable of class type, we only create a reference to an object.
When we pass this reference to a function, the parameters that receive it will refer to the same object as that referred to by the argument.
Passing Object as Parameter in Constructor
One of the most common uses of objects as parameters involves constructors. A constructor creates a new object initially the same as passed object. It is also used to initialize private members.
class Add
{
private int a,b;
Add(Add A)
{
a=A.a;
b=A.b;
}
Add(int x,int y)
{
a=x;
b=y;
}
void sum()
{
int sum1=a+b;
System.out.println("Sum of a and b :"+sum1);
}
}
class ExAddcons
{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
Add A=new Add(15,8);
Add A1=new Add(A);
A1.sum();
}
}
Output
Sum of a and b :23
Returning the Object from Function
In java, a function can return any type of data, including class type objects.
For ex: In the program given below, the add() function return an object which contain sum of values of two different Numbers(objects).
import java.util.Scanner;
class TwoNum
{
private int a,b;
Scanner kb=new Scanner(System.in);
void getValues() // getValues() take values of a,b for every no.
{
System.out.print("Enter a: ");
a=kb.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter b: ");
b=kb.nextInt();
}
void putValues()// putValues() show values for every no.
{
System.out.println(a+" "+b);
}
TwoNum add(TwoNum B)/*class type function add() takeobject 'B' as parameter*/
{
TwoNum D=new TwoNum();//object D act as instance variable
D.a=a+B.a;
D.b=b+B.b;
return (D);//returning object D
}
}
class ExTwoNum
{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
TwoNum A=new TwoNum();
A.getValues();
A.putValues();
TwoNum B=new TwoNum();
B.getValues();
B.putValues();
TwoNum C;
/*object A calls add() passing object B
as parameter and result are return at C*/
C=A.add(B);
C.putValues();
}
}
Output
Enter a: 23
Enter b: 34
23 34
Enter a: 25
Enter b: 35
25 35
48 69 /*sum*/

Hardware VPN vs. software VPN: A comparative guide
Getting a virtual private network involves more than just turning up at the Internet Store and saying, “One VPN, please!” Not only do you encounter a variety of VPN suppliers, but you may even hear about a “hardware VPN.” This may sound mystifying to the uninitiated, so that’s why we’re here – to go through the differences between a hardware VPN and a software VPN so that you can figure out which one fits you the best.
Table of contents
What is a hardware VPN?
A “hardware VPN” is a shorthand for a VPN connection maintained by a standalone device that you have at your home or your office. These products can have names like “VPN firewall” or “VPN router.”
What they do is manage your connections and use their hardware resources to encrypt your traffic. At least theoretically, having a hardware VPN device that uses an inbuilt processor to handle the encryption tasks frees up the processing power of the connected devices.
Hardware VPN feature review
A lot of the functions of hardware VPNs are attractive to big businesses as they:
• Allow for remote access to the company’s intranet;
• Enable adding more VPN tunnels for more bandwidth;
• Provide dedicated IP addresses;
• Include powerful firewalls;
• Don’t route data through third-party VPN servers, ensuring an additional layer of security;
• Secure the entire office quickly by installing a single device that everything connects to.
What is a software VPN?
A “software VPN” is a term for using a VPN client installed on your device, which allows it to establish a connection to a remote server. The encryption processes and such are handled on your device.
While many devices have inbuilt VPN clients, you can install third-party VPN clients like Surfshark. That way, you don’t need to make any additional investments into hardware, and all the server and service maintenance is taken care of by the service provider.
Software VPN feature review
As opposed to having dedicated security hardware like a VPN router, a software VPN provides many incentives for small businesses and individual users:
• Serves as an economical intranet replacement for those who use online solutions for data storage and sharing;
• Secures connections when traveling;
• Overcomes censorships and local firewalls via access to multiple VPN servers;
• Deployed rapidly and easily by untrained users;
• Allows securing of a home/office via installing VPN on an existing router.

Hardware VPNs vs. software VPNs: weighing pros and cons
Hardware VPN vs. software VPN: weighing pros and cons
The approaches to a VPN that we have outlined – hardware and software – are two different ways to solve the need for a virtual private network. That means you can’t outright say that one is superior to the other in every way. But we can compare them and see which comes out as the better option for you.
1. Pricing
Buying a hardware VPN solution means buying a new device. Depending on their capabilities, the prices may go from as low as $50 to as high as $1000 (or more). That’s the upfront cost of buying the device, to say nothing of installation and maintenance (more on that later on).
In contrast, going for a software VPN means signing up for a service. The upfront costs are negligible. For example, a 6-month Surfshark plan costs $6.49/month, while the 24-month one goes down to $2.49/month. As the VPN supplier takes care of all the maintenance issues, you don’t have to invest in it any further.
1. Scaling
A hardware VPN device isn’t limitless. Now, the issue of scaling doesn’t matter much for home users. However, if you’re a business, when a company grows, more and more connections are added, requiring more hardware VPN resources. This means either upgrading your device to a more powerful one or buying an additional one. Either way, you’re spending money again.
With a software VPN, scaling is easy. Every software VPN subscription comes with multiple devices supported. This means that a single VPN subscription is likely to cover the entire home. A business might need to buy several subscriptions, but it’s cheaper than getting a new device. We should also note that Surfshark VPN comes with unlimited installs, which means that a single account can support a great number of devices.
1. Setup and updates
A hardware VPN relies on a physical device. As such, it must be bought, shipped, and installed at your place of choosing. However, setting it up and maintaining it can be hard. Not all devices come with user-friendly interfaces or automatic updates. This is less of an issue for a company that can offload the task on the IT team (though it still puts a strain on that team) and more of a problem for individual users.
On the other hand, a software VPN is available instantly. It is not a large download, installation is usually made as user-friendly as possible, and the operation of the client is typically easy as well. For everyday home users, it’s as simple as clicking “connect” once the application is installed, as most VPN clients automatically connect to the closest, fastest server. The updates are handled automatically as well.
1. Remote access
That’s one area you could say the hardware VPNs excel in. It allows companies to set up encrypted connections to their intranet from remote locations. However, just like setting up the device itself, doing so isn’t very easy. Therefore, it’s more suitable for companies that have IT staff that can use screen sharing to set up remote access for the employees.
Software VPNs don’t always mesh well with remote access. One of the more significant issues is with IP addresses. There’s a good chance that your IP changes every time you connect to a VPN server, even if it’s technically the same one. Some VPN providers offer dedicated or static IP addresses – these can then be whitelisted.
1. Computer load
Previously, one of the most important arguments for a hardware VPN was resource usage. Encryption – the process of making your data secure – takes some processing power to accomplish. Making it happen on a dedicated device with its own processors meant saving the processing power on the connected computers.
However, that is a thing of the past. Today, software VPNs make such a low impact on processing power that VPN clients can be easily installed and used on smartphones. Surfshark is even available on smart TVs, game consoles, and as a browser extension.
1. Security
When it comes to security, software, and hardware VPNs are pretty much on par. However, hackers are increasingly trying to exploit hardware VPN servers. When a brand is discovered to have a vulnerability, it poses an immediate threat to every user that has purchased that manufacturer’s devices. Patches are released, but companies don’t always deploy them in a timely manner as the update process can disrupt the day-to-day operations.
With a software VPN, the big issue is finding a trustworthy supplier. For example, research shows that 38% of free VPNs contain malware, and 72% track your online activity. Both businesses and private users should do their research and find a reliable paid software VPN.
However, the fact that you’re not the one maintaining the infrastructure makes it secure in a few ways. ‘Cause VPN developers have a lot more experience in VPNs and security matters than their users. They are also usually keen on patching any vulnerabilities as quickly as possible. And when a client patch is sent out, it’s straightforward to install.
1. Overcoming censorship
This is where a hardware VPN really falters. If you need a VPN to access websites, apps, and services blocked in your country, a hardware VPN can’t help you. Sharing the geographical location with its setup spot, it is no more capable of accessing censored content than a regular computer.
A software VPN, on the other hand, usually offers a variety of servers to connect to. For example, Surfshark has over 3200 servers in 100+ countries. This means checking how websites look in different locations and bypassing all sorts of government blocks is very easy.
Surfshark does not encourage using a VPN in any way that would potentially violate the Terms of Service of other service providers.
When to choose which
In the end, a hardware VPN is suitable for large companies: they have the resources and the personnel to install, maintain, and run a dedicated device. They also may not like the idea of their data being routed via a third-party server.
A software VPN is a better choice for private users who are looking for security, privacy, or simply access to restricted websites. It’s also a good idea for small businesses that don’t have the money, the human resources, or really the need to run a dedicated hardware VPN. So if you’re one of these users, why not try Surfshark?

FAQ
Can you buy a physical VPN?
Technically speaking – yes. A physical VPN – a hardware VPN – is a device with security-dedicated hardware and software inside of it. You can build it yourself or buy a prebuilt one.
Is a hardware VPN better?
A hardware VPN is better than a software VPN only in remote access scenarios. Other than that, it’s an expensive, labor-intensive, and much harder to scale up option compared to a software VPN.
Do I need equipment for a VPN?
Depending on what you’re after. You can have a virtual personal network in two ways:
1. Downloading a software VPN which doesn’t require any additional hardware;
2. Or buying a dedicated computer that has private access to it. A computer with a dedicated processor, its own firewall, and obfuscation capabilities, also known as a hardware VPN.
Can you use a VPN on a router?

Tech Briefs
This technology is designed for users who, though capable of walking on their own, would benefit from a reduction of load on their leg muscles and joints.
An experimental walking assist device has been developed to help support body weight and reduce the load on the user’s legs while walking, going up and down stairs, and in a semi-crouching position. The device reduces the load on leg muscles and joints (in the hip, knees, and ankles) by supporting a portion of the person’s body weight. It features a simple structure consisting of seat, frame, and shoes, and the user can put it on by simply wearing the shoes and lifting the seat into position. Moreover, a mechanism that directs the assisting force toward the user’s center of gravity and the ability to control the assist force in concert with the movement of the legs make it possible for the device to provide natural assistance in various postures and motions.
A walking assist device works by using a mechanism that directs the assisting force toward the user’s center of gravity, just as with human legs.
Honda began research in 1999 by studying human walking represented by the research and development of Honda’s advanced humanoid robot, ASIMO. This research has been conducted by the Fundamental Technology Research Center of Honda R&D Co., Ltd. in Wako, Saitama, Japan. To evaluate the effectiveness of the experimental model of the walking assist device with body weight support system, Honda is testing the walking assist device at its Saitama Factory.
Natural walking is achieved by changing the amount of assisting force applied to the right and left legs through the control of two motors based on the information obtained though sensors embedded in the shoes of the device.
The effectiveness of the device was increased in those motions and postures which put increased load on knees, such as going up and down stairs and in a semi-crouching position. This was achieved by adjusting the assisting force in accordance with the bending and stretching motion of the knees.
This device is designed for people who are still capable of walking on their own. Its supports a portion of the person’s body weight by lifting the seat as the frame between the shoe and seat bends and extends, just like knees, with the force from the motor. As a result, the load on leg muscles and joints (in the hip, knees, and ankles) is reduced.
The device works by using a unique mechanism where the seat and frame follow the movement of the body and legs. The assisting force will be directed toward the user’s center of gravity, just as with human legs, which enables the device to provide assistance in various movements and postures including walking, going up and down stairs, and in a semi-crouching position. The device (including walking and in a semi-crouching posture) operates for two hours per charge on a lithium-ion battery.
This technology was done by Honda Motor Co., Tokyo, Japan. For more information, visit http://info.hotims.com/34455-195.

July ETF Flows: Emerging Markets Are Back
U.S.-listed ETF and ETN assets under management rose from $789 billion in June to $835 billion at the end of July, as strong markets and steady inflows helped boost AUM numbers, according to new data from IndexUniverse.com.
The move ended a two-month slide for ETF assets, which had fallen from a high in April of $845 billion.
Strong investor inflows into risk-sensitive assets helped support the asset growth in July. Investors poured $9.62 billion in net new cash into exchange-traded products for the month, with two broad-based emerging markets ETFs leading the way:The Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca:VWO) gained more than $2 billion in new assets, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (NYSEArca:EEM) came in second, with $1.49 billion.
On the flip side, investors pulled money out of traditional safe-haven assets in a major way. State Street Global Advisors' SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca:GLD) product had $1.43 billion in net outflows, second most of all products. Also losing out was the Pimco Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy Fund's (NYSEArca:MINT) assets, an actively managed money market fund that lost more than half of its assets in June.
MINT turned heads earlier this year as the first actively managed fund to gain significant assets. It proved attractive to investors at a time when fiscal problems in Greece and elsewhere in Europe began dominating investors' attention. But after peaking near $800 million in May, MINT assets have fallen to just $333.9 million, as investors look to redeploy money into more risk-sensitive investments.
On a company basis, iShares and Vanguard dominated the fund flows League Table in July, pulling in $6.86 billion and $2.82 billion, respectively. State Street Global Advisors saw the largest outflows, with investors pulling $488 million out of its funds.
Top Gainers:VWO Vs. EEM
We've talked a lot about the asset-gathering battle between the world's two biggest emerging market funds here at IndexUniverse.com, and that's because it's a big story that's not going away. It's looking increasingly likely, as we predicted a few months ago, that VWO will surpass EEM in assets by the end of the year.
VWO was again the single-most popular ETF in the U.S. last month, adding $2.03 billion in net assets in July, bringing total assets under management to $29.11 billion. That's a 17.7 percent increase over the prior month. By comparison, EEM gathered $1.49 billion, lifting its total to $39.00 billion, or 13.5 percent above the prior-month level.
Investors' renewed appetite for emerging markets was also evident in IndexUniverse.com's recent ETF Short Report, which showed a nearly 40 percent reduction in the dollars betting against emerging markets, and a near-13 percent increase in bets against developed international markets.
Another fund that benefited from the greater risk appetite in July was the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEArca:IWM), which gathered $1.97 billion last month. Its assets now total $14.98 billion, an 18.5 percent increase over June.
Of note, three corporate bond ETFs-two junk-bond ETFs and one investment-grade bond fund-made the top 10 list for inflows, suggesting investors were willing to take on increasing risk in June in search of added returns.
Biggest Losers:'Safe-Haven' Assets
SSgA's SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca:GLD) suffered the second-largest withdrawals for the month, as investors pulled $1.43 billion from the fund. That left assets in the popular gold bullion ETF at $48.17 billion, or 8.9 percent lower than a month ago.
The biggest outflows-$1.97 billion -were from SSgA's SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca:SPY), the biggest ETF in the world, and one whose asset base is notoriously volatile because it's used so widely by traders and investors looking to equitize cash.
As mentioned, other "safe-haven" assets like MINT also suffered, as investor appetite for risky assets reappeared.
The list of the five-biggest ETFs in the world was unchanged in July, with the largest, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca:SPY), still comfortably at the top of the list. It ended July with $72.04 billion, above the $69.54 billion at the end of June, even though it suffered outflows of $1.97 billion last month.
The iShares emerging markets fund EEM remained the third-biggest U.S. ETF, and Vanguard's VWO remained No. 5, though, as noted above, VWO is bridging the gap.
The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (NYSEArca:EFA) remained in the No. 4 slot, with $33.39 billion.
The list of the most liquid and tradable ETFs was also stable in July, with SPY still comfortably at the top. Its turnover of more than $532 billion was over five times as much as IWM, the No. 2 fund on the list, which had $98.40 billion in turnover last month.
Rounding out the top-three liquidity mavens list was the PowerShares QQQ (NYSEArca:QQQQ) of Nasdaq's 100-biggest companies. Its turnover was $81.49 billion.
ETF League Table
BlackRock continues to lead all ETF providers on the ETF League table, closing the month with $389 billion in assets. It also led all issuers for inflows, with $6.9 billion.
State Street, Vanguard, PowerShares and ProShares round out the top five providers; of those, Vanguard had the most impressive month on a flows basis.
Looking down the league tables, two ETF providers making significant gains in July were AdvisorShares and Global X. Global X pulled down nearly $100 million in net new assets, its best month ever, as a recent string of product launches found traction with investors.

The Story of Barnes Wallis and the Bouncing Bomb.
A key principle of lateral thinking is to consider the opposite. If everyone is heading west think about going east. If the fashion is fast then consider slow. If the crowd is selling then contemplate buying. Which brings us to this question, what is the opposite of vertical?
Barnes Wallis was born in Derbyshire, England in 1887. He went to grammar school and left at the age of seventeen. He became an apprentice at a shipbuilder and in his spare time he studied for an external degree in Engineering at London University.
The big new thing at the time was powered flight and in 1913 Wallis became an aircraft designer at Vickers. He worked on many innovations in the design of airships and aeroplanes. In 1930 he created a revolutionary geodetic design for the R100 airship. It used light alloys in a space frame formed from a spirally crossing basket-weave of load-bearing members. It was stronger and lighter than conventional approaches and this design was later used with great success in the Wellington bomber.
During WWII Vickers was heavily involved in the war effort and Wallis turned his attention to increasing the effectiveness of bombing. All bombs were dropped vertically which meant that aiming them for a precise target was very difficult. In 1942 Barnes Wallis had a brainwave. Was it possible to develop a bomb which could be delivered horizontally? He experimented by skimming stones over water. He wrote a paper entitled “Spherical Bomb – Surface Torpedo”. He proposed that a bomb could bounce over the water surface, avoiding torpedo nets, and sink directly next to a battleship or dam wall. The surrounding water would concentrate the force of the explosion on the target.
The key trick was to spin the bomb so that it would bounce over the water. Another Vickers designer, George Edwards, who was a keen cricketer and knew something about spin bowling, suggested that backspin on the bomb would be more effective than topspin. Backspin would cause the bomb to travel more slowly than the aircraft which dropped it so that the plane could escape the bomb blast. The Royal Air Force chiefs were initially sceptical of the idea of a bouncing bomb but to their credit they authorised experiments to go ahead. When these were successful the RAF Command planned a major bombing raid on the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in the Ruhr region of Germany. These dams were important strategic targets which provided hydroelectric power and pure water for steel-making and industry, as well as drinking water and water for the canal transport system. The dams had proved impossible to bomb with conventional bombs and they were protected from torpedoes by underwater nets.
The raid on the dams was carried out on the night of 16/17 May 1943 by 19 specially modified Lancaster bombers of RAF 617 Squadron, led by Guy Gibson. The squadron was later called the Dam Busters. The squadron leaders were briefed by Barnes Wallis. It was an extremely challenging assignment. The planes had to release their bombs at an altitude of just 60 ft (18 m), at a precise distance from the dams while flying at night at a speed of 240 mph (390 km/h). Expert crews were given intensive training.
The Möhne and Edersee dams were breached, causing catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr valley and of villages in the Eder valley; the Sorpe Dam sustained only minor damage. Two hydroelectric power stations were destroyed and several more damaged. Factories and mines were also damaged and destroyed. An estimated 1,600 civilians were killed by the flooding. Despite rapid repairs by the Germans, production did not return to normal until September. The raid was a success but came at a heavy price. The RAF lost 53 aircrew killed and 3 captured, with 8 aircraft destroyed.
Wallis became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1945 and was knighted in 1968. He was awarded £10,000 for his war work from the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors. His grief at the loss of so many airmen in the dam’s raid was such that Wallis donated the entire sum to his old school, Christ’s Hospital School in 1951 to allow them to set up a trust, allowing the children of RAF personnel killed or injured in action to attend the school. He continued to carry out advanced research and development on aircraft design into his old age. He died in 1979.
When everyone else was thinking vertically, he thought horizontally.

MASTER BUILD STATUS on TRAVIS: Build Status
What is MSTK?
MSTK is a mesh framework that allows users to represent, manipulate and query unstructured 3D arbitrary topology meshes in a general manner without the need to code their own data structures. MSTK is a flexible framework in that it allows a variety of underlying representations for the mesh while maintaining a common interface. It allows users to choose from different mesh representations either at initialization (implemented) or during the program execution (not yet implemented) so that the optimal data structures are used for the particular algorithm. The interaction of users and applications with MSTK is through a functional interface that acts as though the mesh always contains vertices, edges, faces and regions and maintains connectivity between all these entities.
MSTK allows for the simultaneous existence of an arbitrary number of meshes. However, any entity in MSTK can belong to only one mesh at a time. MSTK also allows applications to attach application or field data to entities. This data may be integers, reals and pointers.
MSTK supports distributed meshes for parallel computing. In the future it will allow for parallel mesh modification.
MSTK is not a mesh generator but the infrastructure it provides can be used to develop sophisticated mesh generators and other mesh based applications.
MSTK is not related in anyway to STK or STKmesh in the Trilinos suite of software products
I have tested MSTK only on Linux systems, on HPC Unix systems and on MacOS with GNU, PGI and Intel compilers. If it doesn't work on a particular system, please let me know. If you have a patch, feel free to submit a pull request.

Install MSTK
Starting from MSTK v1.8, we are including CMakeLists.txt files to allow users to build and install MSTK on a wide variety of platforms with various options enable/disabled easily. If you are unfamiliar with CMake, it is an open-source project configuration system developed by Kitware, Inc. (See http://www.cmake.org).
The following are the steps for build and installing MSTK using cmake
1. Verify that you have cmake or install it on your system (system-wide or locally)
2. Examine and Modify the file config/do-configure-mstk. This is the driver file for telling the build system what options are needed in the MSTK build. DO NOT HACK the CMakeLists.txt files. Try to control the build system behavior through the configure script. Using this script, you can turn on/off Exodus support, parallel mesh support, specify where to find third-party libraries, where to install the mstk libraries etc. The most up-to-date options for the configuration are given in the example configure script supplied with the distribution (config/do-configure-mstk).
3. Choose a build directory. This could be a subdirectory named build in the mstk source tree or some other directory. If you want to build both debug and optimized targets you have to run cmake and build in separate subdirectories or one build will clobber the other. I like to create subdirectories build/Debug and build/Release in the mstk directory and build the different versions there.
4. cd to the build directory and run the do-configure-mstk script there. This will create the appropriate Makefiles.
5. Then run 'make' followed by 'make install' or just run 'make install' right away. 'make VERBOSE=1' will display details about what compile commands make is using.
6. 'make install' not only installs the library and the include files but also a CMake configuration file called MSTKConfig.cmake. This file contains many important CMake variables used in building MSTK and can simplify the process of building an executable based on MSTK. See section C for more detail.
Learn MSTK
1. Read the manual ! It is included with the distribution. While it may not be the most up-to-date, it has the essentials
2. Browse MSTK.h
Use MSTK for developing applications
1. Include "MSTK.h" in any code that uses MSTK
2. Link with the MSTK libraries and any third party libraries that were used to build MSTK.
To simplify the process of building an end application using MSTK, a CMake configuration file called MSTKConfig.cmake is written out when you 'make install' MSTK.
The directory config/application_cmake contains a CMakeLists.txt file and a do-configure script to use as a "rough" template for developing a CMake based build system for an application using MSTK

Talk:Iljinhoe
Inaccuracy on the numbers of party members
* The number of party members was about 800,000 - Given source is old type japanese language. no one can read given source. from a commonsense point of view, number of 800,000 Still not open to conviction.
* also can't find other English & korean language source. Juice8093 20:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
* Don't eliminate citations. Seems to be vandalism. Non-English sources are OK. See WP:RSUE. Also, I added a bit of footnote to clarify. --Im mungk (talk) 04:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
* There is a verifiable and reliable record that shows the number of Iljinhoe members were 90,000, by Japanese colonial government. See the article. Hkwon (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Hanja
I think someone got the hanja wrong. It has to be 一進会, not 日進会. 800.000 up to 1 million members is what the Kokuryukai claims about the Iljinhoe in its "Secret History of the Japanese Annexion of Korea" at one point. I don't think this source should be trusted implicitly. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Diagnosing Atopic Dermatitis
Each person experiences a unique combination of symptoms, which may vary in severity over time. The doctor will base a diagnosis on the symptoms the patient experiences and may need to see the patient several times to make an accurate diagnosis and to rule out other diseases and conditions that might cause skin irritation.
In some cases, the family doctor or pediatrician may refer the patient to a dermatologist (doctor specializing in skin disorders) or allergist (allergy specialist) for further evaluation.
A medical history may help the doctor better understand the nature of a patient’s symptoms, when they occur, and their possible causes. The doctor may ask about family history of allergic disease; whether the patient also has diseases such as hay fever or asthma; and about exposure to irritants, sleep disturbances, any foods that seem to be related to skin flares, previous treatments for skin-related symptoms, and use of steroids or other medications. A preliminary diagnosis of atopic dermatitis can be made if the patient has three or more features from each of two categories: major features and minor features. Some of these features are listed here.
Currently, there is no single test to diagnose atopic dermatitis. However, there are some tests that can give the doctor an indication of allergic sensitivity.
Pricking the skin with a needle that contains a small amount of a suspected allergen may be helpful in identifying factors that trigger flares of atopic dermatitis.
Negative results on skin tests may help rule out the possibility that certain substances cause skin inflammation. Positive skin prick test results are difficult to interpret in people with atopic dermatitis because the skin is very sensitive to many substances, and there can be many positive test sites that are not meaningful to a person’s disease at the time. Positive results simply indicate that the individual has IgE (allergic) antibodies to the substance tested. IgE (immunoglobulin E) controls the immune system’s allergic response and is often high in atopic dermatitis.
Major and Minor Features of Atopic Dermatitis
• Intense itching
• Characteristic rash in locations typical of the disease
• Chronic or repeatedly occurring symptoms
• Personal or family history of atopic disorders (eczema, hay fever, asthma)
Some Minor Features
• Early age of onset
• Dry skin that may also have patchy scales or rough bumps
• High levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), an antibody, in the blood
• Numerous skin creases on the palms
• Hand or foot involvement
• Inflammation around the lips
• Nipple eczema
• Susceptibility to skin infection
• Positive allergy skin tests
Recently, it was shown that if the quantity of IgE antibodies to a food in the blood is above a certain level, it is diagnostic of a food allergy. If the level of IgE to a specific food does not exceed the level needed for diagnosis but a food allergy is suspected, a person might be asked to record everything eaten and note any reactions. Physician-supervised food challenges (that is, the introduction of a food) following a period of food elimination may be necessary to determine if symptomatic food allergy is present. Identifying the food allergen may be difficult when a person is also being exposed to other possible allergens at the same time or symptoms may be triggered by other factors, such as infection, heat, and humidity.

flutter_bugsnag: ^0.0.1 copied to clipboard
A bugsnag reporter for flutter projects.
flutter_bugsnag #
flutter_bugsnag is a library that helps to notify a Bugsnag project of a runtime application error. It is not platform-specific meaning the notifier will work on iOS, Android, or the web.
Getting Started #
To notify bugsnag of all uncaught errors in the application:
• At the root of the application, import the library using import 'package:flutter_bugsnag/flutter_bugsnag.dart';
• Hook up an anonymous function to FlutterError.onError.
• In the anonymous function, initialize BugsnagNotifier by passing it the bugsnag project API key.
• Pass the FlutterErrorDetails (usually the first parameter of the anonymous function) exception and stack to the initialized notifier notify method.
main() {
FlutterError.onError = (FlutterErrorDetails details) {
BugsnagNotifier bugsnagNotifier = BugsnagNotifier('the_bugsnag_project_api_key');
bugsnagNotifier.notify(details.exception, details.stack);
};
runApp(
...
);
}
None Error Notification #
It is possible to notify bugsnag of other less severer issues py passing a named argument to .notify
try {
/// Erroring code
} catch (error, stackTrace) {
bugsnagNotifier.notify(
details.exception,
details.stack,
severity: ErrorSeverity.warning,
);
}
Adding User Info to Error #
To notify bugsnag of the user that experienced the issue, call .addUser on the notifier instance.
notifier.addUser(
userId: 'USR123',
userName: 'John Doe',
userEmail: 'john.doe@example.com',
);
Gotcha #
There is a reported issue were FlutterError.onError is not called on some uncaught error cases. Some solutions have been suggested in the thread.

Balanced Hormones = Coronavirus Defense
In the battle for immune power, it is easy to overlook how Balanced Hormones = Coronavirus Defense.
Hormone balance DOES affect the immune system. In this brief overview, we will share general information to help you be aware of the Balanced Hormones = Coronavirus Defense correlation… a healthy immune response.
Many things can be confusing during a health crisis, so let’s start with the language we use when talking about the current state of affairs. Coronaviruses belong to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), but usually cause only mild illnesses (e.g., common cold). On February 11th 2020 the coronavirus study group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses named the novel coronavirus as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2); and the World Health Organization (WHO) formally named the disease triggered by SARS‐CoV‐2 as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19).
Coronaviruses are called “corona” because of the crown-like projections that protrude from their surface – on the outside the virus structure is enveloped in a casing of lipid molecules with protein spikes [3]. This oily lipid structure falls apart on contact with soap; this is why washing your hands is important to prevent or at least minimize the spread of illness.
Thyroid – A strong immune system needs an active production of Natural Killer Cells (NK or NKCs – part of the immune system’s first line of defense) to fight off foreign intruders. Researchers found that NK cells were more active among individuals with optimal levels of thyroid hormones.
Low thyroid levels can hamper the body’s response to viruses, and also cause a sluggish response to inflammation.

Estrogen – Extremely high or low estrogen levels affect the immunity. Excessive production of estrogen can suppress the thyroid, as well as reduce the activity levels of NK cells and interleukin 2. Interleukin 2 is produced by T-cells (a type of white blood cell) to stimulate the immune system.
Progesterone – Low levels of progesterone has been linked to some autoimmune diseases. Correct progesterone balance affects proper T-cell and NK cell activity.
It has also been observed that progesterone aids immune system development in the fetus, during pregnancy.
There’s No Treatment (Yet) – But Here’s What You Need to Know
With no preventative vaccine and no curative treatment for COVID-19 out as this articles publishing, relying on our own immune system to protect us from the threat of COVID is one of our best options for now. Just to be clear, there’s no magic food or pill that is guaranteed to boost your immune system and protect you against the virus. However, there are ways to keep your immune system functioning optimally, which can help to keep you healthy and give you a sense of control in an uncertain time.
Estradiol is a female sex steroid and its actions extend way beyond reproduction – it plays an important role in modulating immune events as well [910]. It seems appropriate to talk about sex steroids in the context of SARS-CoV-2 as it appears that men and women are equally likely to contract the virus, but men have a harder time fighting off the infection. Clinical studies reveal stark inequality between how men and women’s bodies handle infections. Women have evolved to be particularly robust – fast and strong immune responses, likely to protect them during pregnancy and the postpartum period. (This immune protection, however, comes at a cost – women are also more likely than men to develop autoimmune diseases). Estradiol equips the body with potent protective anti-inflammatory effects, which could certainly come in handy during the “cytokine storm” resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 infection (Fig. 1) [11]. Estrogen-responsive immune parameters are going to be especially important during hormonal transition times like menopause when estradiol levels decrease and the body loses its protective effects, now being exposed to a ravaging onslaught of inflammatory processes [12].
Cortisol tends to get a bad rap, receiving the blame for anxiety, weight gain, insomnia, high blood pressure, you name it. It does all these bad things, but only when chronically high and not following a normal circadian rhythm. But we often forget that our bodies need cortisol to survive and having just enough cortisol around at the right time of day optimizes and boosts immunity while limiting inflammation [1314]. When stress doesn’t abate, however, too much cortisol can become destructive, opening the door for chronic immunosuppression. We are witnessing the COVID-19 pandemic unfold on a global scale, so it’s not surprising that all of us are affected and experience “empathetic stress” as we watch so many other people out there in distress and our own anxiety over the uncertainty of the situation. Keeping stress levels and, with that, normal circadian cortisol levels throughout the day, in check is going to be very important to maintaining a healthy immune response [15].
Vitamin D – typically called a “vitamin”, vitamin D is a precursor to a fat-soluble hormone – a substance that our skin produces in response to being out in sunlight. Vitamin D is best known to keep our bones healthy and strong by helping to assimilate calcium from our diet into skeletal tissues. At the gene level, the active form of vitamin D regulates the expression of hundreds of genes. Research shows that vitamin D is protective against acute respiratory infections [16].
Minerals like Zinc and Selenium – zinc can inhibit viral replication and shorten the duration of a common cold caused by a virus [17]; while selenium, forming part of selenoproteins including the antioxidant glutathione, contributes to our biggest defense system against the reactive oxygen species that viruses generate and contribute to the destructive inflammatory conditions in the lungs and heart at the late stages of COVID-19 infection.
As we wait for vaccine development against and testing for SARS-CoV-2 to ramp up, taking care of your health, starting with a healthy immune system, is going to be very important. Currently many doctors are transitioning from in-person appointments to telemedicine visits which presents an inherent problem in obtaining objective information like physical exams and labs. ZRT Laboratory is here to help by providing simple, minimally invasive lab testing from samples that patients can collect from the comfort (and necessity) of their own home.

This scale angling created twice as a lot friction towards the bark , pushing the snakes up and letting the snakes sit in timber for an extended period of time. Once the animal is inside, the snake’s physique releases enzymes to break the food down into useable vitality. Snakes don’t need to eat as usually as other animals as a result of they’ve a very sluggish metabolism fee. King cobras, for example, can live for months with out food. Large snakes, such because the python, will strangle their prey to death after which swallow it complete. Snakes can eat different animals seventy five to one hundred pc greater than their very own dimension, in accordance with National Geographic.

Classically, turtles were thought of to be related to the primitive anapsid reptiles. Molecular work has often placed turtles inside the diapsids.
Cenozoic Reptiles
Their metabolism is dependent upon the temperature of their setting. These corn snakes are able to angle their scales outward to make them higher at catching and digging in to the bark’s rough floor.

The outcomes place turtles as a sister clade to the archosaurs, the group that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, and birds. When you think of hibernation, bears and groundhogs slumbering throughout the winter likely come to thoughts. However, furry creatures aren’t the one animals that hibernate, it doesn’t just happen in the winter, and they’re not really sleeping. During summer, some animals including reptiles and amphibians enter estivation, a period of prolonged torpor that happens in sizzling months. Both hibernation and estivation are dormant states where an animal conserves vitality by reducing its metabolic rate and body temperature. They embody crocodiles, snakes, lizards, turtles, and tor- toises.

In society today, the tool of manipulation is used at every chance given in order to get what is wanted rather than needed. Due to this, everyone has a specific way to go about using this smart yet dangerous tool. In William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Polonius is one that uses this skill of being able to manipulate to his advantage. He is able to easily use his manipulative skills on other characters, such as Hamlet and Claudius, because they are preoccupied with other tasks. Polonius is proven to be a manipulator because of the fact that he deceives and spies on others, uses his intelligence to get others to trust him, and by using and controlling his daughter’s life.
Polonius’s first proves himself as manipulative when he assigns his servant, Reynaldo, to keep an eye on his son, Laertes, while he is away in France. Along with having Reynaldo spy on Laertes, he also wants him to spread rumors about him that will ruin his reputation to bring out his son’s true colors. “See you now/Your bait of falsehood take this carp of truth/And thus do we of wisdom and of reach/With windlasses and with assays of bias/By indirections find directions out,”. When Polonius is saying this, he makes sure that he is precise with his words to let Reynaldo know what he expects out of him. With this, Reynaldo now knows that he is to take this order and run with it the best that he can in a subtle manner. Furthermore, this is the first of many more times to come that Polonius makes it known to the reader that he is indeed manipulating for the sake of helping only himself out.
To portray his manipulative behavior, Polonius uses Ophelia and ultimately controls her life choices. From this, Polonius distinctly tells Ophelia that she is to stop all communication with Hamlet in attempts to finally end her relationship with him. “Indeed, it would be difficult to picture Polonius allowing Ophelia (whom he does not even grant the freedom of choosing her own boyfriend) to travel abroad on her own,” . This further goes on to say that Polonius wants to make all decisions regarding his daughter and take away her ability to make decisions on her own, knowing she will follow whatever her father wants.
Finally, Polonius uses his advantage of intelligence in order to get people to trust him and to retain information as a way of manipulation. The tactic Polonius uses is that he portrays himself as foolish to his colleagues, but in reality he is quite brilliant. This key point also touches on a theme displayed throughout the book so far: appearance versus reality.

refresh, reread, research and executeQuery
Refresh
This method basically refreshes the data displayed in the form controls with whatever is stored in the form cache for that particular datasource record. Calling refresh() method will NOT reread the record from the database. So if changes happened to the record in another process, these will not be shown after executing refresh().
refreshEx
This method should be used sparingly, in cases where multiple rows from the grid are updated, resulting in changes in their display Options, as an example. So you should avoid using it as a replacement for refresh(), since they actually have completely different implementations in the kernel.
Reread
Calling reread() will query the database and re-read the current record contents into the datasource form cache. This will not display the changes on the form until a redraw of the grid contents happens
Research
Calling research() will rerun the existing form query against the database, therefore updating the list with new/removed records as well as updating all existing rows. This will honor any existing filters and sorting on the form, that were set by the user.
ExecuteQuery
Calling executeQuery() will also rerun the query and update/add/delete the rows in the grid. The difference in behavior from research is described below.
ExecuteQuery should be used if you have modified the query in your code and need to refresh the form to display the data based on the updated query.

The World Council of Churches clashes with Israel over a ban on boycotters - The other travel ban
SOME 65 years have passed since President Dwight Eisenhower used the word “Judeo-Christian” to describe the religious and cultural heritage of the United States, implying a new degree of amity and interconnection between two monotheistic faiths. Since then huge strides have been made in improving the strategic relationship between Christianity and Judaism. One landmark was Nostra Aetate, a document issued in 1965 in which the Vatican formally broke with Christian anti-Semitism. Another was Dabru Emet, a statement by Jewish scholars in 2000 which addressed Christianity in warm and respectful terms. For anyone who has studied that progress, it is rather depressing to note that this week, relations between the state of Israel and an important international Christian body dived to the lowest point anybody can recall. The body in question is the World Council of Churches. Based in Geneva, it brings together 348 Christian confessions, ranging from liberal Protestant to Orthodox, whose total membership exceeds 560m. Upgrade your inbox and get our Daily Dispatch and Editor's Picks. The catalyst for the plunge was a new Israeli law designed to deny entry to people who support the boycott of Israel or Israeli-controlled territory. After heated debate, the Knesset passed the law by 46 votes to 28. The entry ban applies to anyone who “knowingly issues a public call for the boycotting of Israel that, given the content of the call and the circumstances in which it was issued, had a reasonable possibility of leading to the imposition of a boycott….” Supporters of the law called it a necessary and legitimate counter-measure against the international campaign to undermine Israel through a policy of "BDS"—boycott, divestment and sanctions. The justice ministry urged that the language be watered down slightly, so as to exempt Palestinians with temporary residence rights in Israeli territory, but the drafters ignored this advice. Consciously or otherwise, one legislative supporter argued for the bill in terms that seemed to turn familiar Christian terminology on its head: “A healthy person who loves those who love him and hates those who hate him doesn’t turn the other cheek,” said Knesset member Betzalel Smotrich. What upset the WCC and other critics is that the law makes seems to make no distinction between those who favour a boycott of all things Israeli, and those who say they support Israel but don’t want to shore up the occupation of the West Bank. Olav Fykse Tveit, the Norwegian general secretary of the WCC, said that on the face of things, the law would make it impossible for him or senior people in his organisation to visit member churches or sacred sites in what Christianity regards as the Holy Land. As he argued: The WCC affirms and supports Israel’s right to exist, categorically rejects violence as a means of resolving the conflict and has described anti-Semitism as a sin against God…But we, together with the United Nations and the vast majority of the international community, consider Israel’s 50-year-long occupation of the occupied Palestinian territories illegal. And on this basis the WCC has encouraged boycotting goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, divestment from companies that benefit from the occupation, investment in Palestinian enterprises that can stimulate the local economy, but not a general boycott of or sanctions against Israel. Even before this week, relations between the WCC and Israel were scratchy. In December, the council’s assistant general secretary, an African theologian called Isabel Phiri, was singled out from a delegation and denied entry to Israel on grounds that she was an unqualified BDS supporter, something the council denied. It is not just the church that has criticised the law. David Harris, the chief executive of the American Jewish Committee, a mainstream organisation which is deeply involved in countering BDS campaigns around the world, commented that his organisation as a long-time staunch friend of Israel and opponent of the BDS movement, fully sympathizes with the underlying desire to defend the legitimacy of the state of Israel….[but] as history as amply shown throughout the democratic world, barring entry to otherwise qualified visitors on the basis of their political views will not by itself help to defeat BDS, nor will it help Israel’s image as the beacon of democracy in the Middle East it is. Fundamental ethical principles are at stake in the conflict between the WCC and Israel, making it hard to resolve. Mr Tveit insists that the law will not deter his organization from favouring economic leverage as a way to signal opposition to Israel’s occupation policies: “It is precisely because of our Christian principles that we…find the purchase and consumption of goods produced in Israeli settlements in the occupied territories immoral."

Find the Increasing Triplet Sub-sequence in an array
Objective: Given an integer array A[1..n], find an instance of i,j,k where 0 < i < j < k <= n and A[i] < A[j] < A[k].
Example :
int
arrA[] = { 10, 9, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7, 3, 1, 11, 2, 6, 9 };
Output :
Increasing triplets are
1, 7, 11
1, 2, 6
1, 3, 9
likewise you can find more triplets.
Approach:
Naive Solution: Brute-Force O(n^2) - Use two for loops and try every triplet till you find the increasing triplet.
Better Solution: O(n)
• Create 2 Auxilary Arrays say Lmin[] and Rmax[] of the same size as main array
• Put Lmin[0]=0 and Rmax[Rmax.length-1] =Rmax.length-1
• Traverse the main array and fill the Lmin array with the index position which has the minimum value so far
• Traverse the main array backwords and fill the Rmax array with the index position which has the maximun value so far.
• Now Traverse the main array and check for the element with the following condition and print it.
arrA[Lmin[i]] < arrA[i] && arrA[Rmax[i]] > arrA[i]
Code:
Output:
Triplet 1 7 11

Howard Schultz: Americans need more opportunities
Howard Schultz, the former chief executive of Starbucks, is considering an independent run for the US presidency in 2020. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own; view more opinion at CNN. (CNN)It is difficult to find Americans who believe the government is working for them. In fact, I asked that question during a CNN town hall in Houston Tuesday night, and not a single person in the audience raised their hand. We live in an incredible country. But we all know we can do so much better. Everyone should have an opportunity to succeed in America. So what are we waiting for? I'm asking my fellow Americans if they agree we should consider another approach because it's clear the two-party system is failing us. The system as we know it simply isn't getting the job done. My own love for America is rooted in my childhood. I grew up poor and never forgot what that feels like. Being poor isn't just about not having money. It's about a lack of access to good health care, good schools, good jobs, mentors, and role models. It's about a lack of time and transportation. It's about a lack of dignity and self-confidence. Without these opportunities and resources, it's hard for people to improve their circumstances. Luckily, I inherited my mother's optimism that I could make a better life for myself. I also grew up at a time when access to education and a first job helped me earn success. After I became the first in my family to go to college, I got a job in sales, where I learned what it means to be accountable. Since then, and throughout my career, I have worked with teams of talented people to address many of our country's challenges by making opportunities like access to health care, jobs, and education available to more people. Over its history, Starbucks has employed some 3 million people. Everyone -- even part-time workers -- can opt in to health insurance, equity in the form of stock options, and a retirement savings plan. The company also provides qualifying employees in all 50 states access to a tuition-free college degree. More than 3,000 have already graduated; 11,000 are in now school. Under my leadership, Starbucks also started programs to raise money for small businesses, as well as employ tens of thousands of veterans, refugees, and young people who weren't in school or working. Today, I'm asking whether I can help bring more opportunities to more people -- not as a business leader, but as a public servant. Everyone should have equal opportunity to rise beyond the station of their birth, and to rise again if they have a life-altering setback. Everyone should have the equal opportunity to save for a rainy day and for retirement; to get an education and learn employable skills; to get a first job, get promoted, and experience the dignity of work. Unfortunately, these opportunities are not available to far too many Americans. The hyper-partisanship in Washington, D.C., is exacerbating this problem. Extreme ideologies in both parties are holding our elected leaders hostage, and a culture of revenge politics is overshadowing collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving on behalf of the American people. Take health care. While the far left calls for government-run health care, the far right calls to repeal the Affordable Care Act, with no clear replacement option. Meanwhile, both sides ignore the real problem: health care costs. The truth is there are ways to bring down the costs of care, while increasing choice and access. Take jobs. While the far left wants to guarantee government jobs and the far right touts the stock market as a proxy for economic health, both ignore the millions of Americans who lack employable skills for contemporary jobs. America does not lack jobs; many Americans lack skills for the million of jobs available today. We should invest in lifelong learning and increase vocational training and apprenticeships in every region of the country that touch all of the industries undergoing rapid change. Take education. The far left calls for expensive college programs the country cannot afford. The far right doesn't want to spend another dime on this issue. Again, they are ignoring realities: four-year colleges are not best for everyone; schools can be held accountable for bringing down the cost of tuition; and public universities can innovate the student experience so more people can complete a degree. A more holistic, middle-ground approach to education reform will reflect the 21st-century economy and the needs of today's students and workers. In so many ways, the people of this great country are not getting the opportunities they deserve because our two-party system is broken. Americans know it, and they are ready to disrupt it. My vision for what we can achieve in America is not based on building a coffee company. My vision is steeped in what I've learned over the years: • Compassion and empathy for others help leaders prioritize and make better choices. • When passionate, talented people from different backgrounds come together for the same goal and work as a team, new ideas emerge and become reality. • When people talk honestly about what's broken and communicate disagreements with civility, problems get solved. • Even when people doubt something is possible, when everyone around the table agrees to sacrifice self-interest for the common good, has the courage to make bold choices, and does what is right and what is required, change happens. I am a product of the American Dream, and I know that a dream cannot be achieved without hard work. But hard work is not enough. More opportunities must be made available to more people. Once they are, more dreams will be realized, and so will the promise of our country: everyone will have a chance to rise from the ground up.

Making OBIEE 11g Evaluate function dynamic
We know that we can use the evaluate function to call any function stored on the database and pass arguments to it. What if we have a requirement to use different database functions for the same column based on different selections made by the user.
This article talks about a method to handle this requirement.
Before you start, make sure that EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 2; is set in nqsconfig.ini.
We start with creating 2 functions. The definition of these functions are shared below.
create or replace function get_abc_vishal return varchar2 as
begin
return 'abc';
end;
create or replace function get_xyz_vishal return varchar2 as
begin
return 'xyz';
end;
Now we create a column with the following formula in it.
Evaluate('/*%1*/@{pv_function_name}{get_abc_vishal}()','dummy value')
Note that /*%1*/ is just to trick OBIEE that we have a parameter. OBIEE evaluate function needs parameters and our stored database functions (get_abc_vishal and get_xyz_vishal) do not have any argument list.
We then create a variable prompt and have the following 2 custom values in it.
get_abc_vishal
get_xyz_vishal
The value of the evaluate function will change based on the selection made by the user in the variable prompt.

Dear Vishal,
Thanks for the information regarding evaluate function.
how can we use evaluate function in dashboard prompt variable using request variable for variable expression (default value). i want to convert normal number to date which accepting two variable from dashboard (Month & Year) and day passing through current date. what is the correct syntax.
i am passing below in column formula and its give correct result.
CAST(EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) || '-' || @{pv_DIS_Month}{Month(CURRENT_DATE)}||'-'|| @{pv_DIS_Year}{Year(CURRENT_DATE)} ,'DD-MM-YYYY') AS DATE)
in the formula @{pv_DIS_Month} & @{pv_DIS_Year} taking from other Dashboard Prompt.
but the same formula is not giving correct result in

HI Vishal,
Thank you for the nice post.
I would like to call a DB function in OBIEE RPD (CONTENT -WHERE Clause)
like this
Evaluate('GET_GARM(%1.%2)' ,'1' , "CMJULSYS".""."SP"."CUST_PIR_PRJ"."ACCESS_ID" )
BUT If write like this i am getting the ACCESS_ID values in OBIEE. but i need DB_FUNCTION Values in OBIEE.
my DB function values will Return as 1 and 8 .
Is there any way to bring the only one values from DB function in OBIEE.?
Please give me your thoughts on it.
Vishal Pathak said...
im not really able to understand your question.
However, here r my thoughts.
Check the physical sql. The results you get on OBIEE will depend on how the physical sql looks.

How to initialize a database in MongoDB?
In this article, we are going to create or establish a database in MongoDB with MongoDB commands using mongo shell.
Submitted by Manu Jemini, on February 02, 2018
It is a non-sql database which we need to use to store data without using sql in it.
Using mongo is much easier then sql or mysql because of its basic formation of data and data management.
Any document in MongoDB is basically a JSON format, typically use to create reliability in data management.
How to run MongoDB server?
1) Open command prompt by typing cmd in search box.
2) Type mongod and press enter than wait for a second, there are some of the details get print on your command prompt like,
MongoDB - Initialize a database
Which shows your pid, port, dbpath and your host.
4) Port number given in the above picture is the port which is basically open for connecting to the MongoDB server.
5) Now run nother command prompt and type mongo to open mongo shell.
MongoDB - Initialize a database
6) Now type show dbs and you can see list of databases in your MongoDB.
MongoDB - Initialize a database
7) After that you can just use the database you want to, or create a new one by using similar command which is,
8) Use database_name and then press enter.
MongoDB - Initialize a database
9) Now you are using database vehicle which you created a moment before.
10) And there is also a command to show database you are working or using which is,
MongoDB - Initialize a database

Vue Data GridStatus Bar Panels (Components)Enterprise
Status Bar Panels allow you to add your own components to the grid's Status Bar. Use this when the provided status bar components do not meet your requirements.
Simple Status Bar Component
Below is a simple example of an a status bar component:
const MyStatusBarComponent = {
template: `<input style="padding: 5px; margin: 5px" type="button" v-on:click="onClick" value="Click Me For Selected Row Count"/>`,
methods: {
onClick() {
alert('Selected Row Count: ' + this.params.api.getSelectedRows().length)
}
}
}
Status Bar Panel Interface
Any valid Vue component can be a status bar component.
When a custom status bar component is instantiated then the following will be made available on this.params:
Status Panel Parameters
Properties available on the IStatusPanelParams<TData = any, TContext = any> interface.
api
The grid api.
columnApi
The column api.
context
TContext
Application context as set on gridOptions.context.
Configuring Status Bar Panels
In order to add new components to the Status Bar (or to configure the provided agAggregationComponent component) you need to provide the components and any associated information to statusBar:
this.gridOptions = {
statusBar: {
statusPanels: [
{
statusPanel: 'myStatusBarComponent'
},
{
statusPanel: 'agAggregationComponent',
statusPanelParams : {
// only show count and sum ('min', 'max', 'avg' won't be shown)
aggFuncs: ['count', 'sum']
}
}
]
},
// ...other properties
}
In the configuration above we've specified a custom component (myStatusBarComponent) as well as the provided agAggregationComponent component.
Order is important here - the order of the components provided will determine the order in which they're rendered, from left to right.
Initialisation of Status Bar Components
The status bar components will be instantiated before the grid is fully initialised - specifically they will be initialised before any row data has been rendered.
If you have a component that you wish to work on data once it's ready (calculate the sum of a column for example) then you'll need to hook into the modelUpdated event. Remember to remove the event listener when the component is destroyed.
export default {
methods: {
updateStatusBar() { ... },
},
created() {
// Remember to remove the event listener when the component is destroyed
this.params.api.addEventListener(
'modelUpdated',
this.updateStatusBar.bind(this)
);
},
};
Accessing Status Bar Panel Instances
After the grid has created an instance of a status bar component it is possible to access that instance. This is useful if you want to call a method that you provide on the status bar component that has nothing to do with the operation of the grid. Accessing a status bar component is done using the grid API getStatusPanel(key).
getStatusPanel
Function
Gets the status panel instance corresponding to the supplied id.
getStatusPanel = (key: string) => TStatusPanel | undefined;
The example below shows using getStatusPanel:

The tone in which Miss Delavoy again addressed him offered a reflection of this gleam. 'Do you know what my brother would think of you?'
He was quite ready with his answer, and there was no moment in the whole business at which I thought so well of him. 'I don't care a hang what your brother would think!'

He looked at me a moment as if he even guessed what I saw, and, not unkindly, desired to force it home. 'I don't care for anybody. It's not my business to care. That's not the way to run a magazine. Except of course as a mere man!'—and he added a smile for Miss Delavoy. He covered the whole ground again. 'Your reminiscences would make a talk!'
She came back from the greatest distance she had yet reached. 'My reminiscences?'

2019's new billionaires — and those who lost their billionaire status
A proliferation of IPOs created several new billionaires in 2019 — but a turbulent stock market also knocked many entrepreneurs out of the three-comma club.Several one-time billionaires (including Juul cofounders Adam Bowen and James Monsees) saw their net worths drop because of company crises.A few noteworthy newly-minted millionaires this year hail from the entertainment industry, including Kylie Jenner and Jay-Z.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.Not everyone who becomes a billionaire stays one.A proliferation of IPOs created several new billionaires in 2019 — but a turbulent stock market also knocked many entrepreneurs out of the three comma club.Last year was not an easy year to be a billionaire, Business Insider previously reported. 2018 was the first time in seven years that high net worth individuals saw their fortunes shrink, according to French technology consulting firm Capgemini. Billionaires across the globe lost 7% of their collective net worth in 2018 due to market instability at the end of the year, Wealth-X also found in its 2019 Billionaire Census. Slowing economic growth across the globe and trade tensions also contributed to the wealth drop, according to Wealth-X.Keep reading to learn more about the people who became billionaires — and those who lost their billionaire status — in 2019.
Social media and makeup mogul Kylie Jenner made headlines when she was declared "the world's youngest self-made billionaire" by Forbes in March.
Net worth: $1 billion as of March 2019Jenner, who turned 22 in August, has built up a cosmetics empire, starred alongside her family in "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" as well as in her own spin-off show "Life of Kylie," started a clothing line with her sister, and made millions promoting products on Instagram.Forbes estimated that Jenner's company, Kylie Cosmetics, is worth $900 million. That plus the cash she has pulled in from the business brings her to billionaire status, Forbes said.Many have criticized Forbes calling Jenner "self-made," saying she was born into wealth and privilege, as Business Insider's Katie Warren previously reported. In February, Jenner responded to the backlash in an interview with Paper magazine, saying, "The self-made thing is true" and adding that her parents "cut her off at the age of 15."
Proactiv founders Katie Ronan and Kathy Fields were also declared billionaires by Forbes in March.
Net worths: $1.5 billion each as of March 2019Ronan and Fields, 64 and 61 respectively, met when they were young dermatology residents, fresh out of medical school, according to their website. They may be best known for inventing acne treatment line Proactiv, but it's their multi-level marketing skincare line Ronan + Fields that made the duo of dermatologists ultrawealthy — Rodan + Fields' 300,000 independent consultants have sold $1.5 billion of cosmetics in 2017, Forbes reported in March.

Slack founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield was also declared a billionaire in June, after the workplace messaging app's direct listing.
Net worth: $1.6 billion as of June 2019Slack's market debut may have been what made Butterfield, 46, a billionaire, but it wasn't the first successful company he founded, Business Insider's Megan Hernbroth and Rebecca Aydin previously reported. Butterfield also founded photo-sharing site Flickr, which he sold to Yahoo for more than $20 million in 2013.Both Slack and Flickr grew out of failed attempts to create an online video game.

Juul cofounders Adam Bowen and James Monsees had short-lived tenures as billionaires.
Net worths: $900 million eachOne of the company's biggest investors, hedge fund Darsana Capital Partners, reportedly cut the company's valuation by more than a third on October 3 following increased attention from regulators. As a result, Juul cofounders Adam Bowen and James Monsees lost their billionaire status just ten months after attaining it, Business Insider previously reported.Bowen and Monsees founded Juul after meeting on smoke breaks while studying product design at Stanford University in 2004, Business Insider previously reported. Ploom, a precursor to Juul, was launched in 2007 and first released Juul products in 2015. The company's Juul line was spun into a separate firm in 2017.

Forever 21's cofounders lost their billionaire status in July — just three months before the fast-fashion retailer filed for bankruptcy in September.
Net worths: $800 million eachAt the company's peak in 2015, Jin Sook and Do Won Chang had a combined net worth of $5.9 billion, Business Insider previously reported.

WeWork founder Adam Neumann's net worth plummeted $3.5 billion in just seven months.
Net worth: $600 million as of October 2019The former WeWork CEO's net worth parallels the plunging valuation of his coworking empire following the company's up-and-down IPO adventure that saw it whipsaw from a $47 billion valuation to talk of bankruptcy in just six weeks.The drop in Neumann's personal net worth from a peak of $4.1 billion was the result of the declining value of Neumann's 18% stake in WeWork, Forbes reported. WeWork was valued at $47 billion in January following an investment from Japanese investment firm Softbank. However, the company reportedly sought a valuation as low as $10 billion in September as public scrutiny over its steep losses and leadership structure threatened its IPO. Forbes now estimates that the company is worth "at most $2.8 billion."But Neumann may have regained his billionaire status thanks to Softbank's bailout of WeWork, though estimates of his exact net worth vary. The former CEO is worth "at least one billion," according to Bloomberg. As of November 11, Forbes also puts Neumann's real-time net worth at $1 billion.
WeWork cofounder Miguel McKelvey also lost his membership in the three comma club between March and October.
Net worth: $400 million as of November 2019McKelvey founded WeWork in 2010 alongside Neumann and Neumann's now-wife Rebekah Neumann, Business Insider previously reported.

RyanAir's declining stock price brought O'Leary's net worth below $1 billion, The Independent's Samantha McCaughren reported in January, though his current net worth is unknown.
Four heirs to the Barilla pasta fortune also dropped off Forbes' Billionaires List in March.
Net worth: $1.1 billion each in 2018Siblings Emanuella, Guido, Luca, and Paolo Barilla share an 85% stake in the largest company in the world, Forbes reported in 2016.

Addressing all participants in a discussion
#1
Suppose there’s a discussion about a ticket. The discussion is represented as a tree of Note objects, published using Create activities.
When I, as a client, post a comment in a such a discussion, I’d like to be able to address all the other people who have commented. How would I do that?
Before I describe my idea, let’s think about this for a moment like a mailing list: Suppose there’s an organization called Feneas, and this organization has a mailing list at https://lists.feneas.org/feneas-discuss, and an email address such as [email protected]. In ActivityPub terms, we can translate it to:
• There’s an ActivityPub object representing Feneas, of type Organization or similar, that object’s ID URL could simply be https://feneas.org, or suppose Feneas has some Fediverse account, it could be https://federated.social/users/feneas.
• That Feneas object has a list of people participating in the discussion about it. In mailing lists, you usually subscribe before you can get automatic email, while in our case here it’s typically open to everyone, anyone can comment on a ticket, and still get notified on new comments made afterwards. Either way, the point is that we have this list of people participating. In ActivityPub, we can represent it as a collection, say https://federated.social/users/feneas/commenters. It doesn’t matter whether Feneas here is a user account or any other object; anything that can be a discussion topic can have a list of commenters.
So, my suggestion is like this: If there’s a project https://federated.dev/dansup/pixelfed, and it has a ticket https://federated.dev/dansup/pixelfed/tickets/127, and I’d like to make a comment on that ticket from my user account https://fr33.xyz/users/fr33domlover, it happens as follows:
• Each ticket has a collection, suppose we call it “commenters”, which is a list of everyone who commented on the ticket. The server doesn’t have to literally keep a list; it could just generate the list from its database whenever it’s needed.
• For our ticket, the collection would be https://federated.dev/dansup/pixelfed/tickets/127/commenters.
• When I post my Create Note activity from an ActivityPub client application, I list that commenters collection URI in the “to” or “cc” fields.
• My server fr33.xyz forwards the activity to federated.dev because the “to” (or “cc”) field lists a recipient hosted on the latter server
• The federated.dev server does inbox forwarding, it fetches/computes the list of commenters on the ticket and delivers the Create Note to them
There are questions and caveats and alternatives, but before I list those, I’m curious to hear how other people do such things :slight_smile:
#2
At Friendica we are doing two different things:
1. We are addressing all previous commenters of the thread in the “cc” header (except those who we are tagging or answering directly, these are addressed with “to”).
2. The thread starter is relaying all incoming comments to the followers as well.
This should ensure that all commenters do receive all comments.
#3
@heluecht, hmm but how does the client know who these previous commenters are? Does the client fetch the whole conversation tree etc. and collect all the commenters’ actor IDs? If yes, does it fetch the conversation from the home server? Or from the server where the conversation topic is hosted?
And in (2), do you mean the thread starter relays all comments to the thread starter’s followers? If yes, why, and what happens if it isn’t done? (I guess if you follow me and I comment on a topic and I get replies, you want to get those too in your inbox?)
#4
Normally the commenting system should have a list of all commenting actors in that thread. Are you referring to C2S? Then I don’t know how this could be done, since there is no command for this. Question is, if in case of C2S the server should add this information.
Concerning the second question: I don’t understand your question completely.
#5
Yeah I mean in C2S. The AP spec says addressing is up to the client. It does seem fediverse servers handle it on the server instead, and they don’t use C2S anyway, just custom API instead. So in Friendica the client fills in “to” and possibly the topic ID, and the server then fills in “cc” with the list of all commenters?
In the 2nd question I meant to ask: If Joe started the thread, then Joe’s server relays all the comments to Joe’s followers? So that people who follow Joe (regardless of that conversation) can see the replies he gets on his comments?
#6
Currently Friendica doesn’t support C2S. I don’t know what the specs are saying in this case. At Friendica the system fetches the basic permissions from the starting post. Then it looks for the existing comments in the post and it looks for the mentions. When using our API, we only provide the number of the post we are commenting on - and we are taking the additional mentions from the body.
For the second question: You are right.
#7
@heluecht, thank you for explaining :slight_smile:
Hmmm hoping to hear about other systems too ^ _ ^
#8
If you think of the discussion as a Actor (i.e. inbox+outbox), explicit addressing should not be required:
A Client will add comments to the discussion by createing new Notes via the Actor’s inbox and they than will be federated to the Actor’s followers via the Actor’s home server.
(for “tree of Note objects”, see footnote*)
The concern whether and when to follow the “discussion”-Actor then is up to the client. I think a sane default would be to following it immediately. Or maybe any contribution automatically follows server-side, but not sure if that’s the AP way.
And it also opens-op the possibility to “unsubscribe”: Just unfollow.
With your pixelfed example a participant would Creates a new comment (as a Note) via federated.dev/dansup/pixelfed/tickets/12 inbox and federated.dev then would federate the Note to #12’s followers.
With federated.dev/dansup/pixelfed being a project repository, the server also could apply some custom logic like also sending the Note to a user “watching” (à la GitHub) the repository.
* If you really want a tree, think of the Note list on the outbox as an linearized tree. ^^
#9
When I, as a client, post a comment in a such a discussion, I’d like to be able to address all the other people who have commented. How would I do that?
This is a problem solved in the C2S part of the spec.
I view C2S client addressing pretty literally from the spec: put “to” and “cc” properties on the Object, or whatever it is being federated around, too. Mastodon does this. Pleroma does this.
Figuring out who to reply-to is then a breeze as a conversation chain of Note or whatever other objects will already have carried forward the “to” and “cc” thread participants. So just roll them over to the new Object being created on the client side. Then any additional Client-side app-specific behavior on top of that using your special addressing collection (or whatever you decide) is just an added bonus.
And yes, whatever you decide for the “added bonus” (A special Collection that should be CC’d, a special tag, etc) won’t be universally enforceable for all C2S clients, but you can at least ensure your particular C will be able to handle it just fine. I don’t think it would be wise to try to enforce this server-side, because then it leads to a mismatch between what the C shows the user it is doing and what the S actually does, which is a gross violation of user expectations.

A "heightmap", or "elevation map", is an image or binary file where every pixel/number represents world height at the given point. RoR supports 8-bit or 16-bit unsigned integer RAW heightmaps.
Making heightmaps in Blender
Blender is open source, cross platform, and free. You can also use it to generate meshes, truck and load files, someone who uses blender to make trucks is already familiar with the interface and can easily start making terrains. Plus blender can go into great detail with the terrain surface and allow the user to move individual modes at will. Blender can also export a 16bit grayscale image, which is required by RoR.
Requirements
[http://www.blender.org/ Blender] with exr support (v2.43+ maybe earlier)
[http://www.imagemagick.org/ ImageMagick] with exr support (v6.3.4+)
Setting up the Environment
• Start up blender, in Linux use the -w switch to have blender use a managed window.
• Press the (key|a) key to select all objects (all objects turn pink when selected)
• Press the (key|x) key and a little dialog pops up under the cursor, click Erase Selected Object(s) to erase all the objects.
Add a Plane
• Press the (key|numpad 7) key to look at the xy plane.
• Press the (key|spacebar) and in the menu that appears select ''Add''->''Mesh''->''Plane''
At this point you have a 2x2 BU (blender units) plane centered at 0,0,0 (see above image). What we want is a 3x3 BU plane centered at 1.5,1.5,0. this isn't needed but it sets up an easy conversion factor of 1BU = 1km. So when you look at the width on an edge a 0.001BU = 1 meter.
Scaling and moving the Plane
• make sure you are in Edit Mode().
• Press the (key|s) key to scale the plane, and hold down the the (key|ctrl) to snap to the grid.
• In the lower left hand area of the panel you'll see the scale factor, move the cursor until the scale factor is 1.5000. Holding down the (key|ctrl) key will snap the scale factor to 0.1 units at a time, making 1.5000 easy.
• Click the left mouse button ((key|lmb)) to make the scale change.
• Still holding (key|ctrl) click-and-drag the plane using the right mouse button ((key|rmb)) until the lower left hand corner of the plane is at the axis. This is where the red and green lines cross.
• Left click ((key|lmb)) to move the plane to it's new position.
This is how you're plane should look at this point:
Making the height Gradient
ok, now it gets trickier.
Add a Material
• Open the Material Panel, to do this: click on shading then the materials button
• click on the Add New Button to add a new material
• under the material tab click on Shadeless button
Add a Texture
Texture Tab
1. Open the Texture Panel
1. click on shading
2. then the texture button
2. click on the Add New button to add a texture.
• to change the name of the texture click on Tex.001 and type in a new name, in our case heightwould be appropriate
3. Next, select Blend from the Texture Type "pulldown" menu.
Colors Tab
1. Go under the color tab and click on the Colorband button.
2. There is a Field labeledA with a value of 0.000, change the value to 1.000
3. Select the second color point by clicking on the white vertical band on the right of the colorband.
4. change the color of the second colorpoint to white by making the R value 1.000
Mapping the texture
1. Now go back to the Materials
2. under the Texture Tab make sure there is a check next to the name of the texture you just added.
3. go into the Map Input tab
4. in the lower left of this tab you'll see the mappings, select Z for all of mappings
Cricky this is taking a long time to write!! but at least the texture is done now.
Making the Camera
1. Go back into Object Mode ()
2. Under the View menu select View select View Properties
3. Under 3D Cursor change the x, y, z values to 1.50, 1.50, 5.00.
4. press spacebar and select Add -> Camera
5. hit (key|f9) or click the editing button to and you'll see a camera tab.
6. click the Orthographic button
7. change the value of scale to 3.00
Setting up the rendering
1. press f10 to enter the scene panel
2. below the format tab change SizeX, and SizeY to 1025
3. under that, there is a menu for the formats, it defaults Jpeg. click on this pulldown and select OpenEXR
4. select the BW button below that
Phew!! good news is that at this point everything is basically set up! Save this file so you can use it as a starting point for future terrains.
For the lazy that just want to skip to this point here is a blender file saved at this point. Media:terntemplate.blend
Test Render
since everything is set up at this point lets do a test render. simply press f12 if a window pops up with some stats int he top with a gray image in the middle everything is working as it should.
Making Terrain
1. Make sure you're in Object Mode ()
2. Right click on the plane you've created to select it
3. Switch to Edit Mode ()
4. Subdividemuti.png
Press the w key and select Subdivide Multi from the menu
5. The value entered in this box determined how many subdivisions each side is cut up into. 5 is good for demo purposes. you should now have a plane that looks like this:
6. rotate you're view by holding down the middle mouse button (mmb) and moving the mouse. move the view to a point where you can easily distinguish all 3 axis.
• Alternatively, you can rotate the view using the keypad numbers numpad 4, numpad 8, numpad 3, and numpad 2
7. Right click on a vertex (these are the pink dots) to select it.
8. Then click-and-drag the blue array pointing, this is you're z axis and by doing this you move the selected nodes along that one axis.
9. You should end up with a picture similar to this:
You now have a (Very) basic hill.
Generating the heightmap
Render the scene
1. Press f12 to bring up the render window:
2. Now press f3 to bring up the save dialog, save this to a file with the extension of .exr. I saved it to mymap.exr for this tutorial.
Instead of saving the image as .exr save it as .jpeg
Convert to raw format
Note: this process can vary depending on the platform.
1. open a command line and navigate to where the saved .exr file is saved.
2. execute the following:
convert mymap.exr -depth 16 -size 1025x1025 -endian LSB gray:mymap.raw
3. Setup the .tern and .cfg as described in Terrain Formats.
whola! the resulting file is a usable heightmap for RoR.
This is the resulting image for the heightmap, your's should look somewhat similar:
You don't have to do this if you saved the image as a .jpeg
you can import this in L3DT as a heightmap and export it as .raw
Refer to the L3DT tutorial for details on how to size and export
Where to go from here
Well there are all kinds of guides on making terrains, some tools for it too.
These are the resources I used to make this tutorial.
Creating a Heightmap from a Plane
Mountains Out Of Molehills
Making Landscapes with heightmaps
InnerWorld terrain generator
In particular if you want to learn more general blender I highly suggest reading the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro book on wikibook.
Troubleshooting
Heightmap isn't the proper size
Make sure the X and Y size of the render is 1025x1025.

Bombing at mosque in Pakistan kills 22
(CNN)A bombing at a Shiite mosque in Pakistan's tribal region on Friday killed at least 22 people and injured dozens more, officials told CNN. The explosion rocked Parachinar. The city is the capital of Kurram Agency -- a district in the federally administered tribal areas in northwestern Pakistan. The Kurram region has endured many militant attacks because it borders war-torn Afghanistan. Jamat Ul Ahrar, a Pakistan Taliban splinter group, claimed responsibility for the attack, in a statement sent via text to media. At least 57 people were injured, a local health official said. Outside a gate used by women The incident took place at 11:30 a.m. The mosque is in the city's central bazaar, outside a gate used exclusively by women, according to Shahid Ali Khan, a Kurram political official. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's office issued a statement, saying the attack underscores the government's "unflinching resolve to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country at all costs" "The network of terrorists has already been broken and it is our national duty to continue this war until the complete annihilation of the scourge of terrorism from our soil," the statement said. An attack claimed by the same group occurred in another part of the tribal region in September. The Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for a market explosion in Parachinar in January.

What do you pack to eat if you’re going on a long trip–one that will last several years? It’s a problem that’s plagued sailors for millennia, but by the 19th century a new technology appeared to solve it: canning. It promised to keep food safe and edible far longer than any voyage.
At least, that’s what the members of the Franklin Expedition–the last major expedition of the Arctic north–thought as they set out in 1845 in search of the fabled Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific. When they left, they were equipped with several years’ worth of canned food.
None of them returned.
How they died has remained something of a mystery, but many now suspect that the food they ate may have been to blame.
The Franklin Expedition was one of a number of attempts to map the high Arctic while scouting the final, presumed route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Explorers had plotted much of the area from both sides, but there was still a mysterious blank spot in the middle of the map–about 300 miles of what could have been coastline, open water, or impassable solid ice.
The task of filling in this void fell to a man who was well suited for the challenge. Rear-Admiral (retired) Sir John Franklin was an experienced explorer, and by later in his career had been elected as the governor of Tasmania (called Van Diemen’s Land at the time), where he served for seven years. His term as governor was interrupted when he was recalled to England after embarking on a journey to cross a poorly mapped part of the island; he got lost, which inspired consternation among the civil servants who ran Tasmania in his absence. By 1844, Franklin was back in England and looking for a new challenge. He was an obvious choice to lead a search for the Northwest Passage.
The expedition had been assigned state-of-the-art ships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, on loan from the government of the United Kingdom. They were fitted for the fierce weather of the Arctic with reinforced hulls, and had steam-driven engines that could push along at a speedy four knots (about five miles per hour) in calm weather. These had come from a railway engine, and were accompanied by a mechanism that allowed the rudder and propeller to be withdrawn and encased in iron shields to protect them from the ice.
There were also over a thousand books onboard, and enough tinned and other food to last three years. The whole enterprise was a demonstration of the British Empire at its finest: a crew of brave men led by an experienced explorer who knew the territory; an expedition equipped by the Admiralty with huge quantities of supplies and the latest in equipment. What could possibly go wrong?
Arctic expeditions at the time were long adventures. The usual approach involved sailing as far as possible in the short Arctic summer, then hunkering down for the long winter–letting the ship freeze in the ice until the return of summer melted it and freed the vessel. On a ship that was strong enough to withstand the pressure of the ice, this worked well. Often, expeditions were at sea for several years, sailing and waiting out the weather in cycles until they completed their objectives. They were literal voyages into the unknown, and in the days before radio (and too far from land for carrier pigeons) it wasn’t unusual to hear nothing from a ship until a few days before it sailed back into home port for a heroes’ welcome.
The Franklin Expedition never sailed home, though. After a few encounters with other ships on the way to the Arctic in 1845, it vanished, leaving no survivors and no indication of their fate.
Franklin’s wife was the first to raise alarm in 1847, when she began asking the Admiralty to send an expedition to search for her husband. Knowing that there had been food aboard to last at least three years, it declined to do so until 1848–when it posted a sizable reward (£20,000, equivalent to about £2 million today) for anyone who could find and save the ships.
Vessels sailed in from the east and the west, and an overland expedition down the MacKenzie River tried and failed to find anything. It wasn’t until 1850 that a mounted expedition encountered a few telling signs; and it took several more voyages for the first real facts to emerge in 1859, thanks to conversations with Inuit hunters, and the discovery of relics and scattered written notes left by the crew of Terror and Erebus.
Here’s what became clear: The expedition had failed utterly. By 1846, both ships were firmly trapped in ice and the crew had begun to die. That alone wasn’t unusual, as most Arctic expeditions endured their share of fatalities from the weather or accidents. But this expedition seemed to suffer more than most. Franklin himself died in 1847 from unknown causes; his grave has never been found.
After a year and a half, the ships had been iced in for so long that by then the crew members knew a short Arctic summer wouldn’t free them. The pressure of the sea ice was beginning to crush the ships, and the expedition would have to find another way out. In a note scribbled on the margins of an earlier message placed under a rock cairn, a crew member wrote that by April 1848, 24 seamen were dead and that the survivors were going to walk south toward the distant Back River in Canada, where they hoped to reach a trading colony. They never made it.
The fate of the walkers is yet unclear. Occasional encounters with Inuit hunters over the next few years revealed a devastating tale of starvation and death, with reports of cannibalism among the survivors. Bones recovered from a site where they had camped after abandoning the ships indicated that at least 11 people died there, and that–according to the anthropologists who analyzed them–there were marks consistent with cut flesh. They concluded:
“Cut marks on approximately one-quarter of the remains support 19th-century Inuit accounts of cannibalism among Franklin’s crew.”
But maybe it wasn’t lack of food that doomed them.
The same analysis pointed to something else. The bones contained high levels of lead.
That wasn’t the first time lead had been found, either. A 1984 expedition had excavated the graves of three of the first crewmembers to die in early 1846 on Beatty Island. Samples from their bones also contained high levels of lead. The corpses were remarkably well preserved, appearing as if they had been in the ground for a few days rather than 138 years. In the book Frozen in Time, anthropologist Owen Beattie and writer John Geiger describe how the corpse of Petty Officer John Torrington, who died on January 1, 1846 at the young age of 20, looked:
“John Torrington looked anything but grotesque. The expression on his thin face, with its pouting mouth and half-closed eyes gazing through delicate, light-brown eyelashes was peaceful.”
The autopsy revealed that Torrington had probably died of pneumonia, a common killer in the bitter cold of an Arctic winter. But there was still that lead–and, after some searching, Beattie and others found what they thought was the culprit: the canned food the crew had brought with them.
Although the expedition had the best equipment available, the food had not been ordered until seven weeks before the crew was due to sail. The supplier who produced and canned it rushed to finish the job, sealing the cans poorly with lead solder that was exposed to the food inside. Beattie believes this means some of the lead could have leached into the food, slowly poisoning the crew.
Judging from those found in one of the expedition camps near the graves on King William Island, the book describes how poorly constructed some of the cans were:
“Beattie had seen photographs of food tins from various British Arctic Expeditions and had handled a few, but as he picked through the tins from Franklin’s expedition, he saw that they were different. The lead soldering was thick and sloppily done, and had dripped like melted candle wax down the inside surface of the tins.”
Beattie concluded that the crews of the Erebrus and Terror were indeed slowly poisoned by the very food that kept them going through the cold, Arctic winters.
Symptoms of lead poisoning are unpleasant, including memory loss, seizures, and fatigue. While the poisoning itself doesn’t usually kill the victim, it can leave sufferers more open to other diseases by causing anemia and suppressing the immune system. Even if just a few of the crew were poisoned by lead, the effect of so many deaths on the morale must have been devastating.
By the time the crew abandoned the stricken ships, the vessels were decimated. Of the 129 who had set out, 24 were dead by April of 1848–nearly 20 percent. To make things worse, many of the deceased were the officers who commanded the expedition and were experienced in Arctic survival. The survivors left walked hundreds of miles through the bleak Arctic, only to die in its frozen wastes.
Although Beattie and others build a compelling narrative for lead as the expedition’s main failure, others are still skeptical. In a recent article for the Polar Record, several scientists note that most people in England during the Industrial Revolution were exposed to high levels of lead, and that the amount of lead found in the tested bones varied widely. However, they do concede that some of the crew would have likely been affected:
“Comparison of the estimated lead burdens with present-day data that associates lead with cognitive and physical morbidity suggests that a proportion of the crew may have experienced few or no adverse effects whilst those with higher burdens may have suffered some significant debility.”
Another possible culprit beyond tin canning is the system that purified water for the ships’ steam engines. William Battersby describes this as a potential lead source in a paper he presented to the Hakluyt Society. The engines were designed to run on fresh water, so waste heat from cooking in the galley was used to distill seawater. The same system also likely supplied water for the crew’s cooking, particularly for making bread. It was water that had traveled through lead pipes. As Battersby notes:
“Both ships carried 136,656 pounds (62,041 kilograms) of flour to be baked into the ships’ biscuit or bread while on the voyage “¦ nearly 90 percent of the bread or biscuit eaten on board was baked using water from the ships’ tanks. When hot food is prepared using water which contains lead, some water is boiled off as steam but all the lead and any other residue remains in the food. This means that bread and biscuit prepared on board could have had a high lead content.”
We might actually get to find out if Battersby’s theory is correct. In 2014, an expedition located the wreck of the HMS Erebus on the Arctic seabed, where it had lain since it was finally crushed by the ice. The team that found it recovered the ship’s bell, and another expedition in 2015 revealed that the ship is in remarkably good shape. Further exploratory expeditions are being planned.
Although what exactly killed the crew of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror is still the subject of much debate, some things are obvious. Despite the experience of the crew members (and Franklin himself), they were sailing into an inhospitable place with resources that were, at the very least, untested, and, at worst, severely compromised.
The lead in the food or water may not have been the direct cause of every death, but in an unforgiving environment like the Arctic, you don’t get a second chance. The lesson of the Franklin Expedition should be that it’s never a wise strategy to cut corners on how you store your food.

CFEngine
CFEngine is a configuration management system, written by Mark Burgess. Its primary function is to provide automated configuration and maintenance of large-scale computer systems, including the unified management of servers, desktops, consumer and industrial devices, embedded network devices, mobile smartphones, and tablet computers.
Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, CFEngine is free software.
History
The CFEngine project began in 1993 as a way for author Mark Burgess (then a post-doctoral fellow of the Royal Society at Oslo University, Norway) to get his work done by automating the management of a small group of workstations in the Department of Theoretical Physics. Burgess managed Unix workstations, scripting and fixing problems for users manually. Scripting took too much time, the flavours of Unix were significantly different, and scripts had to be maintained for multiple platforms, drowning in exception logic. After discussing the problems with a colleague, Burgess wrote the first version of CFEngine (the configuration engine) which was published as an internal report and presented at the CERN computing conference. It gained significant attention from a wider community because it hid platform differences using a domain-specific language.
A year later, Burgess finished his post-doc but decided to stay in Oslo and took a job lecturing at Oslo University College. Here he realized that there was little or no research being done into configuration management, and he set about applying the principles of scientific modelling to understanding computer systems. He developed the notion of convergent operators, which remains a core of CFEngine.
In 1998 Burgess wrote "Computer Immunology", a paper at the USENIX/LISA98 conference. It laid out a manifesto for creating self-healing systems, reiterated a few years later by IBM in their form of Autonomic Computing. This started a research effort which led to a major re-write, CFEngine 2, which added features for machine learning, anomaly detection and secure communications.
Between 1998 and 2004, CFEngine grew in adoption along with the popularity of Linux as a computing platform. During this time, Mark Burgess developed promise theory, a model of distributed cooperation for self-healing automation. In 2008, after more than five years of research, CFEngine 3 was introduced, which incorporated promise theory as "a way to make CFEngine both simpler and more powerful at the same time", according to Burgess. The most significant re-write of the project to date, CFEngine 3 also integrated knowledge management and discovery mechanisms—allowing configuration management to scale to automate enterprise-class infrastructure.
In June 2008 the company CFEngine AS was formed as a collaboration between author Mark Burgess, Oslo University College and the Oslo Innovation Centre in order to support users of CFEngine. In April 2009, the company launched the first commercial version of CFEngine - CFEngine Enterprise. The Enterprise version can be downloaded for free for up to 25 agents (clients). February 2011, the company received its first round of funding, from FERD Capital. The company has offices in Oslo, Norway and Mountain View, California, USA.
In 2017, the company changed its name to Northern.tech, to reflect that it is working on multiple software products, not only CFEngine.
Design
One of the main ideas in CFEngine is that changes in computer configuration should be carried out in a convergent manner. This means that each change operation made by the agent should have the character of a fixed point. Rather than describing the steps needed to make a change, CFEngine language describes the final state in which one wants to end up. The agent then ensures that the necessary steps are taken to end up in this "policy compliant state". Thus, CFEngine can be run again and again, whatever the initial state of a system, and it will end up with a predictable result. CFEngine supports the item of statistical compliance with policy, meaning that a system can never guarantee to be exactly in an ideal or desired state, rather one approaches (converges) towards the desired state by best-effort, at a rate that is determined by the ratio of the frequency of environmental change to the rate of CFEngine execution.
CFEngine provides an operating system-independent interface to Unix-like host configuration. It requires some expert knowledge to deal with peculiarities of different operating systems, but has the power to perform maintenance actions across multiple hosts. CFEngine can be used on Windows hosts as well, and is widely used for managing large numbers of Unix hosts that run heterogeneous operating systems, e.g. Solaris, Linux, AIX, Tru64 and HP-UX.
Users
CFEngine is used in both large and small companies, as well as in many universities and governmental institutions. The largest reported datacenter under management of CFEngine is above a million servers, while sites as large as 40,000 machines are publicly reported (LinkedIn ), while sites of several thousand hosts running under CFEngine are common. According to statistics from CFEngine AS, probably several million computers run CFEngine around the world, and users from more than 100 countries have been registered.
Research
Shortly after its inception, CFEngine inspired a field of research into automated configuration management. The CFEngine project claims to attempt to place the problem of configuration management in a scientific framework. Its author Mark Burgess has developed a range of theoretical tools and results to talk about the problem, and has written several text books and monographs explaining them.

Winner Media Player Removal Guide
Do you know what Winner Media Player is?
Winner Media Player is a potentially unwanted program that can open your media files. While more or less harmless by itself, it is known to be bundled with various freeware applications, which could present some danger to your system. It also tracks your browsing information and shows ads. To err on the side of caution, we recommend removing Winner Media Player.
Created by Winner Solutions LLC, Winner Media Player actually does load video and audio files. That is somewhat promising; however, the problem is that it’s sometimes found in bundles with free programs that could actually be malicious in nature. The bundle installer that Winner Media Player is found on comes signed by STROYBIZNESPROYEKT. That does not look like a very trustworthy company name. This distribution method works by taking a useful program and adding several other, less useful, applications to it. The user is attracted by that one good program, downloads it and, in his anxiousness to get going, clicks “Next” to the Finish button without reading anything. Next thing he knows, he has several applications he didn’t want on his computer. Some of them could be dangerous.
While researching this media player, we found that it collects your browsing data and uses it to show you commercial third-party advertisements. Though different from the usual adware applications that annoy you with pop-ups without providing any real functions, the fact remains, that Winner Solutions LLC will make money from the ads you click via a pay-per-click agreement, while not reimbursing you at all. Together with the potential security risks of freeware bundling and unprotected third-party websites that the ads provided by Winner Media Player could link to, its usefulness is outweighed by the threats presented. We recommend removing this program.
To summarize, Winner Media Player can be used to watch movies and other media. You can find many better media players online. Most of them won’t show you commercial adverts. We recommend downloading a trustworthy antispyware program to scan your computer for potentially unwanted programs and remove them. By doing this, you can get rid of any threats you might have gotten infected with via bundles, or while clicking untrustworthy third-party ads. This software will also protect your computer in the future. If, however, you prefer to do it by hand, the instructions are provided below. Just don’t forget that there might be other threats on your computer.
Manual Winner Media Player Removal
Windows XP
1. Click Start, go to Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs, select Winner Media Player.
3. Click Remove.
Windows 7 and Windows Vista
1. Click the Windows button, go to Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs, select Winner Media Player.
3. Click Uninstall.
Windows 8
1. Right-click the bottom-left corner of your screen, go to Control Panel.
2. Click Uninstall a program, select Winner Media Player.
3. Click Uninstall.
In non-techie terms:
Winner Media Player is a free media player that works as promised, but also acts as an adware application. It collects your browsing data and uses it to show you commercial ads. Together with its favored distribution method of freeware bundles, Winner Media Player could present a threat to your system. You should remove it from your computer.

Really a woman
"There were initial criticisms about the storyline and the character of Hayley from the transgender community in the UK, mainly because the actress who played Hayley was really a woman, and not a real trans person."
I removed the bit about her really being a woman, as I felt it could be construed as implying transsexual women aren't really women and so rather offensive to some. I believe the objections of the transgender community are made clear enough in the "not a real trans person" bit. Stassa (talk) 10:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Phrasing of suicide
I have a concern that the phrase "committed suicide" is used during a description of the death of Roy's wife Hayley. Given that the storyline was regarding a person's right to die on their own terms, would the phrase "took her own life/had taken her own life" be preferable? As the phrase "committed suicide" is not used as widely now due to connotations of criminal behaviour. Channel65 (talk) 07:49, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Distance spectra of graphs: A survey
Mustapha Aouchiche, Pierre Hansen
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
205 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
In 1971, Graham and Pollack established a relationship between the number of negative eigenvalues of the distance matrix and the addressing problem in data communication systems. They also proved that the determinant of the distance matrix of a tree is a function of the number of vertices only. Since then several mathematicians were interested in studying the spectral properties of the distance matrix of a connected graph. Computing the distance characteristic polynomial and its coefficients was the first research subject of interest. Thereafter, the eigenvalues attracted much more attention. In the present paper, we report on the results related to the distance matrix of a graph and its spectral properties.

John Rudnicki
John W. Rudnicki (born August 12, 1951, in Huntington, West Virginia) is an American engineering professor.
Education
Rudnicki studied at Brown University Mechanics from 1969 with a bachelor's degree in 1973, a master's degree in 1974, and a doctorate in solid-state mechanics with James R. Rice in 1977. He was a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in geophysics at Caltech.
Career
Dr. John Rudnicki's research interest includes Inelastic behavior and failure of geomaterials, particularly deformation instabilities in brittle rocks and granular media, including their interactions with pore fluids, with applications to fault instability, quantification of energy radiation from earthquakes and environment- and resource-related geomechanics. From 1978 to 1981 he was an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and from 1981 onwards associate professor at Northwestern University, where he received a full professorship for mechanics, environmental engineering and civil engineering in 1990.
He dealt in particular with the mechanics of geomaterials, especially local deformations such as the influence of local heating caused by deformation caused by friction and pore water during warping. Applications that he investigated include carbon dioxide storage in rock, energy storage and recovery, toxic waste storage, and earthquakes. From 2005 to 2010 he was one of the consultants of the Southern California Earthquake Center. From 1997 to 2010 he was a member (and chairman from 2008 to 2010) of the Geoscience Panel at the United States Department of Energy.
In 2006, he received the Maurice A. Biot Medal (for his fundamental contributions to the theory of porous media and application in rock mechanics and geophysics), in 2008 the Brown Engineering Alumni Medal, in 2011 the Daniel C.

MySQL SUBDATE Function
MySQL SUBDATE function is one of the Date Functions, which is a synonym of the DATE_SUB function. This SUBDATE function is used to subtract the user-specified intervals from the given date and returns the date and time. The basic syntax of the SUBDATE Function in MySQL is as shown below:
SUBDATE(Date, INTERVAL expression Unit);
SUBDATE(Date expression, days);
MySQL SUBDATE function Example
The below-shown queries help you understand the use of this SUBDATE function. Here, we are subtracting 8 Microseconds, 8 Seconds, and 8 Minutes from the given DateTime expression.
TIP: I suggest you refer to the Date Functions article to understand the Units after the Interval in MySQL.
SELECT SUBDATE('2016-05-19 11:14:34.0000010', INTERVAL 8 MICROSECOND);
SELECT SUBDATE('2016-05-19 11:14:34.0000010', INTERVAL 8 SECOND);
SELECT SUBDATE('2016-05-19 11:14:34.0000010', INTERVAL 8 MINUTE);
MySQL SUBDATE Function 1
In this example, we are subtracting 8 Hours, 6 days from the given DateTime expression. Within the third statement, we haven’t used the Interval. It means we used the second syntax of the subdate function.
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 8 HOUR);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 6 DAY);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', 6);
MySQL SUBDATE Function 2
In this MySQL SUBDATE function example, we are subtracting 6 Weeks, 6 Months, and 2 Quarters from the given DateTime expression.
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 6 WEEK);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 6 MONTH);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 2 QUARTER);
MySQL SUBDATE Function 3
Here,
• First, subtracted 4 Years
• The second statement – subtracted 5 days and 8 hours from the given date.
• Within the third statement, we subtracted 3 years and 8 months.
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL 4 YEAR);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09 11:14:34', INTERVAL '05 08' DAY_HOUR);
SELECT SUBDATE('2019-02-09', INTERVAL '03-08' YEAR_MONTH);
MySQL SUBDATE Function 4

Reprojecting R3 Pro Data into Local State Plane or Other Known Coordinate Systems
In the world of LiDAR and geospatial data, the ability to reproject data into a known coordinate system is crucial.
Step 1: Fly the R3 Pro
The first step in this process is to capture your LiDAR data using the R3 Pro. The R3 Pro, developed by ROCK Robotic, is a state-of-the-art LiDAR system designed for integration with drones. It's lightweight, easy to use, and capable of capturing high-resolution 3D data.
Step 2: Process with ROCK Desktop
Once you've captured your data, the next step is to process it using ROCK Desktop. This software takes the raw data captured by the R3 Pro and transforms it into a detailed 3D point cloud. This point cloud serves as the base for all subsequent steps in the data processing workflow.
Step 3: Upload from ROCK Desktop to ROCK Cloud
After processing your data in ROCK Desktop, the next step is to upload it to ROCK Cloud. This is an easy 1 click in ROCK Desktop!
ROCK Cloud is a powerful platform that allows you to further analyze, visualize, and share your LiDAR data. Importantly, it also provides tools for reprojecting your data into a different coordinate system.
Step 4: Reproject to Your Known Coordinate System
Once your data is in ROCK Cloud, you can reproject it into your desired coordinate system. This could be a local state plane or any other known coordinate system. The process involves selecting your desired EPSG code, which is a code that represents a specific geographic coordinate system. Once you've selected the appropriate EPSG code, ROCK Cloud will reproject your data accordingly.
1. Go to the "Manage Project" Menu on the left side of your project
2. Click "Reproject Data"
3. Select your Horizontal and Vertical Coordinate System
Make sure to select the appropriate unit whether it is Meters or Feet in the top of the box to reproject.
Step 5: Align to Ground Control Points (GCPs)
The final step in the process is to align your reprojected data to Ground Control Points (GCPs). GCPs are known points on the ground that have been surveyed using highly accurate GPS equipment. By aligning your data to these points, you can ensure that it is accurately positioned in real-world space. It's preferable to use GCPs that are in the same EPSG code as your reprojected data.
Upload your GCPs or add then like this: https://learn.rockrobotic.com/rock-cloud-add-gcp
In conclusion, reprojecting your R3 Pro data into a known coordinate system is a straightforward process with ROCK Desktop and ROCK Cloud. By following these steps, you can ensure that your LiDAR data is accurately aligned with your existing geospatial data, making it a valuable addition to your mapping or surveying project.

UPDATE 1-Google will add more partners for self-driving cars-exec
(Adds background on Google’s and automakers’ self-driving car efforts, Krafcik comments) By Joseph White DETROIT, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc’s Google wants to form more partnerships with established automakers and suppliers this year to accelerate its work on self-driving cars, the head of the Google project said on Tuesday. John Krafcik, the newly hired president of the Google self-driving car project, did not mention any automakers by name. However, appearing at a media conference at the Detroit auto show, Krafcik surveyed a room packed with hundreds of auto industry executives and said: “We hope to work with many of you guys.” Google officials have said previously the internet search company does not want to build vehicles, but instead supply the software and mapping to allow a car to safely navigate busy streets and highways. “No one goes this alone,” Krafcik said. “We are going to be partnering more and more and more.” He said he hopes to form more alliances this year. Google has worked with automotive suppliers and contract manufacturers to build a small fleet of prototype self-driving cars - small, light pod-cars that look nothing like the sport utility vehicles and pickups on display at the Detroit show. Google, major global automakers and several auto technology companies such as Delphi Automotive Plc, Continental AG and Mobileye NV are jockeying to define and lead development of vehicles that use machine vision, sophisticated maps and artificial intelligence to take over for error-prone human drivers. Krafcik said he believed partially automating the operation of a car, requiring drivers to take command under certain conditions, can create safety problems, a key point on which Google and most automakers differ. The car “has to shoulder the whole burden,” he said. Most automakers, including General Motors Co, Tesla Motors Inc, Daimler AG, and Nissan Motor Co, are pushing to get cars on the road that allow hands-free driving under certain conditions, but require the driver to take over in more complex situations such as city driving.

Study on spray drying for the production of high value particles
Boris Golman, Wittaya Julklang
Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review
1 Citation (Scopus)
Abstract
The drying mechanism of high-value particles of hydroxyapatite in an industrial spray dryer was investigated numerically using the developed models and compared with the drying mechanism of silica droplets of the same final size. Similar mechanisms were observed for the drying of slurry droplets of both materials, but the rate of heat and mass transfer between air and droplets was lower, and the heat transfer resistance and heat accumulation in the dry crust was larger in the case of drying of hydroxyapatite droplets. The hydroxyapatite droplets were dried in a longer axial distance in the dryer, and the air temperature decreased and humidity increased more slowly during drying of hydroxyapatite droplets than in the case of silica. The temperature difference between the outer droplet surface and evaporation interface was significantly larger in the hydroxyapatite droplets than that in the silica due to the difference in thermal properties of solid materials. Less water vapour was accumulated in the dry crust of hydroxyapatite than in the crust layer of silica of the same thickness..

Troubleshooting
• The output of dmesg | grep fglrx and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are most useful when looking for errors.
• It might be necessary to create a symlink to get accelerated OpenGL:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dri /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri
• To ensure you automatically get the current linux-restricted-modules package with kernel updates, you should install the linux-restricted-modules-??? package matching your kernel-type (without version numer), e.g. linux-restricted-modules-386, linux-restricted-modules-686 or linux-restricted-modules-k7.
Method 2: Generating/Installing Ubuntu packages for the newer 8.23.7 drivers in Ubuntu Dapper
Important Change: Installation of this driver no longer requires removing the linux-restricted-modules package in order to work. There is a new blacklist feature in Ubuntu Dapper that you can use to go around this.
When running the dpkg-reconfigure command you should answer the questions that you know and take the defaults for the rest. You might want to say no to the monitor detection--it has caused X-Windows to crash for some people.
Remove existing fglrx driver
Blacklist fglrx module from linux-restricted-modules:
sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
Edit DISABLED_MODULES to include fglrx
Remove Dapper's included fglrx drivers if they are installed:
sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo apt-get remove fglrx-control
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg #select the "ati" module
Reboot.
Installing the new driver
Download the ATI driver installer: Click here
Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list before doing these steps.
Install necessary tools:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential
sudo apt-get install fakeroot dh-make debconf libstdc++5 gcc-3.3-base
Create .deb packages:
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-i386.run
LANG=C LC_ALL=C ./ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-i386.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper
Install .deb packages:
sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.23.7-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-control_8.23.7-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.23.7-1_i386.deb
Remove any old fglrx deb's from /usr/src/:
sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb
Compile the kernel driver:
sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant update
sudo module-assistant a-i fglrx
Note: If sudo module-assistant a-i fglrx doesn't work then run the following:
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.23.7-1_i386.deb
sudo module-assistant build,install fglrx
This is because the current fglrx kernel source package in Dapper is marked "newer" than the one created by the ATI Installer.
Update the xorg.conf file:
sudo aticonfig --initial
Reboot.
Confirm that it worked

HP dv5029us Notebook PC
If you have an HP Notebook Computer such as the HP dv5029dvus it is needed to modify the BIOS configuration. It seems for some reason using sideport memory (the card's onboard memory only) leads to an apparent system crash although the logs show successful initialization of DRI. It is needed to run the BIOS setup screen, go to memory options, and select UMA+Sideport memory and assign a value to it (I assigned an extra 128M from the system RAM). Boot the computer and the fglrx driver will work. FGLRX version is 8.23.7 on an i386 Ubuntu Dapper install.

_mm_dp_ps
Microsoft Specific
Emits the Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4) instruction dpps. This instruction computes the dot product of single precision floating point values.
__m128 _mm_dp_ps(
__m128 a,
__m128 b,
const int mask
);
Parameters
• [in] a
A 128-bit parameter that contains four 32-bit floating point values.
• [in] b
A 128-bit parameter that contains four 32-bit floating point values.
• [in] mask
A constant mask that determines which components will be multiplied and where to place the results.
Result value
A 128 bit parameter that contains the 32-bit results of the dot products.
The result can be expressed with the following equations:
tmp0 := (mask4 == 1) ? (a0 * b0) : +0.0
tmp1 := (mask5 == 1) ? (a1 * b1) : +0.0
tmp2 := (mask6 == 1) ? (a2 * b2) : +0.0
tmp3 := (mask7 == 1) ? (a3 * b3) : +0.0
tmp4 := tmp0 + tmp1 + tmp2 + tmp3
r0 := (mask0 == 1) ? tmp4 : +0.0
r1 := (mask1 == 1) ? tmp4 : +0.0
r2 := (mask2 == 1) ? tmp4 : +0.0
r3 := (mask3 == 1) ? tmp4 : +0.0
Requirements
Intrinsic
Architecture
_mm_dp_ps
x86, x64
Header file <smmintrin.h>
Remarks
The immediate bits 4-7 of mask determine which of the corresponding source operand pairs are to be multiplied. Bits 0-3 determine whether the dot product result will be written. If a mask bit is 0, the corresponding product result or written value is +0.0.
r0-r3, a0-a3, and b0-b3are the sequentially ordered 32-bit components of return value r and parameters a and b, respectively. r0, a0, and b0 are the least significant 32 bits.
maski is bit i of parameter mask, where bit 0 is the least significant bit.
Before you use this intrinsic, software must ensure that the underlying processor supports the instruction.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <smmintrin.h>
int main ()
{
__m128 a, b;
const int mask = 0x55;
a.m128_f32[0] = 1.5;
a.m128_f32[1] = 10.25;
a.m128_f32[2] = -11.0625;
a.m128_f32[3] = 81.0;
b.m128_f32[0] = -1.5;
b.m128_f32[1] = 3.125;
b.m128_f32[2] = -50.5;
b.m128_f32[3] = 100.0;
__m128 res = _mm_dp_ps(a, b, mask);
printf_s("Original a: %f\t%f\t%f\t%f\nOriginal b: %f\t%f\t%f\t%f\n",
a.m128_f32[0], a.m128_f32[1], a.m128_f32[2], a.m128_f32[3],
b.m128_f32[0], b.m128_f32[1], b.m128_f32[2], b.m128_f32[3]);
printf_s("Result res: %f\t%f\t%f\t%f\n",
res.m128_f32[0], res.m128_f32[1], res.m128_f32[2], res.m128_f32[3]);
return 0;
}
Original a: 1.500000 10.250000 -11.062500 81.000000

The human body is made up of billions of cells. Each cell is a tiny factory that produces energy for our body. Our body is like an engine. If we use too much fuel, the engine will not run well. But if we use too little fuel, the engine will not work well. In the same way, if we don’t give enough food to our body, it will not work well. It is important to know how to maintain the balance between the two, which is the key to good health.
There are two main factors that affect our health: food and exercise. The food we eat is converted into energy for our body, while exercise is the conversion of energy from one form to another.
If you want to have a healthy life, you need to pay attention to your diet. Eat the right food at the right time. Don’t eat too much or too little. If you eat too much, your body will store the excess as fat. If you don’t eat enough, your body will be short of the necessary nutrients. The best thing is to eat only what your body needs, but in the right amount.
You should also pay attention to the food you eat. Some people think they can gain weight by eating more calories than their body needs. This is wrong. Calories are the fuel that your body needs. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your body will store them as fat. If you eat less calories than your body needs, you will lose weight.
In addition, you should pay attention to the quality of the food you eat. Many people believe that they can lose weight by eating junk food. This is not true. Junk food is not only bad for your health, but it will also make you fat. Instead of eating junk food, eat whole grains, vegetables and fruits. They contain fiber and other nutrients that your body needs. Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that are easily converted into energy for your body. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamins and minerals that your body needs. You can also drink green tea or milk instead of soda pop. These drinks contain many nutrients that your body needs.
Exercise is also important. You need to do some physical activity everyday. Even if you are doing nothing, your body will still produce energy. If you want to burn fat, you should do some exercises. You can start with simple exercises such as stretching, walking or jogging. You can also do more complicated exercises such as swimming or playing tennis. Exercise increases your metabolism. It also releases endorphins that make you feel happy. This helps you sleep better.
In conclusion, if you want to live a healthy life, you should pay attention to both food and exercise.

Ralph Berkowitz
Ralph Berkowitz (September 5, 1910 – August 2, 2011) was an American composer, classical musician, and painter.
Biography
Berkowitz was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Romanian Jewish couple, Matilda and William Berkowitz who had emigrated from Roman and Bucharest. His father was instrumental in shaping young Ralph's musical culture and experience. In 1927, he enrolled at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia where he later became a member of the teaching staff. In 1940, he became accompanist for Gregor Piatigorsky, with whom he appeared until the cellist's death in 1976. Other musical partners included the tenor Jan Peerce, cellist Felix Salmond, and violinist and composer George Enescu. He recorded extensively with Piatigorsky and others, including the violinist Eudice Shapiro.
From 1946 to 1951, Berkowitz served as an executive assistant to Serge Koussevitzky at Tanglewood and later became Dean of the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood in 1951, a position he held until 1961. As Dean, he presided over a faculty that included Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and many others. Illustrious students in those years included Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel and Claudio Abbado. He, along with Boston Symphony manager Todd Perry, was largely instrumental in keeping the Tanglewood Festival alive following Koussevitsky's death.
Berkowitz has been widely published as an arranger and composer. His A Telephone Call, for singer and orchestra is his most extended work.
In 1961 Berkowitz moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he lived until his death in 2011. He first came to Albuquerque in 1940 to serve as a guest artist with a chamber music series called The June Music Festival. He remained active as an artist for the Festival into the 1980s. Berkowitz became manager of the then Albuquerque Civic Orchestra (now New Mexico Symphony Orchestra) when he moved to New Mexico and served until 1968, seeing the Orchestra through its move to its current home—Popejoy Hall at the University of New Mexico.
Berkowitz commissioned Daron Hagen to compose one of his most intellectually rigorous works, a set of Piano Variations based on a theme made up of pitches derived from Berkowitz's and Hagen's names, in 2002. The work is available from Carl Fischer. Berkowitz reached his centenary in September 2010 and died in August of the following year.

We present ISO LWS and SWS observations of far-infrared atomic fine structure lines of 24 evolved stars including asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, proto-planetary nebulae (PPNe) and planetary nebulae (PNe). The spectra include grating and Fabry-Perot measurements of the line emission from [OI], [CII], [SiI], [SiII], [SI], [FeI], [FeII], [NeII] and [NII] which trace the low-excitation atomic gas. Atomic emission was only found in those sources where Teff \geq 10000 K. Above this cutoff, the number of detectable lines and the intensity of the line emission increase as Teff increases. These trends suggest that the atomic lines originate from photodissociation regions (PDRs). In general, the kinematics of the atomic gas, derived from line fits to the Fabry-Perot data, are comparable to the molecular expansion velocities. These kinematics are expected for atomic cooling lines associated with circumstellar PDRs. A new PDR code which properly treats enhanced carbon abundances was used to model the observations. The predicted line intensities agree reasonably well with the observations. Shock models, however, do not compare well with the observed line intensities. PDR mass estimates ranging from ~0.01-0.2 M\odot were derived from the [CII] 158 \mum line emission. The atomic gas only occupies a small fraction of the total mass for young planetary nebulae, but grows significantly as they evolve. To compliment our atomic gas study we also present CO J=1-0 observations of 7 objects in our ISO sample to investigate the evolution of the molecular envelope. By combining data from the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland-Association (BIMA) Millimeter Array and the NRAO 12m, we have constructed full synthesis data cubes for MIRA, IRC +10216, IRAS 17436+5003 (HD 161796), AFGL 2688, IRAS 22272+5435 (HD 235858), AFGL 2343 (IRAS 19114+0002) and NGC 7027. The history of the circumstellar gas is imprinted on the circumstellar envelope itself, such as the record of its molecular mass loss, and its interaction with fast winds and dissociating/ionizing photons. By imaging the morphology and the kinematic structure, we can model the mass loss history and piece together how fast winds, shocks and photodissociation/photoionization have transformed these envelopes. Our overall analysis shows that photodissociation and not shocks dominates the evolution of the circumstellar envelope by transforming the initially molecular asymptotic giant branch envelopes into the atomic gas found in proto-planetary and planetary nebulae.

-- Yahoo Revamps Home Page With Facebook-Powered Social Content
Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) unveiled a revamped home page that features online content recommended by users of Facebook Inc., as Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer bolsters ties to the world’s biggest social network to step up growth. In the most sweeping product overhaul since Mayer became CEO in July, Yahoo.com will begin showing its users news stories and other information that their friends have posted on Facebook, the Sunnyvale, California-based company said today. The new site, which also emphasizes clean lines and flourishes in purple, Yahoo’s official color, goes live today. Besides the home page, Mayer has also upgraded Yahoo’s e-mail and its Flickr photo-sharing service to win back users and advertising dollars and accelerate revenue gains. The company plans to rely on Facebook (FB) data to make its sites more personal, Mayer said in an interview. “We think it’s the right time to bring a more modern paradigm to Yahoo,” Mayer said. “Overall it was important to me that the page be dynamic, that it feel very fresh and that it be very intuitive.” The new home page introduces a “news feed” of live, endlessly scrollable content, which includes articles, videos and messages from advertisers. The overhaul was led in part by Jackie Goldberg , Yahoo’s design director and former creative director at Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) Mayer said she met with the home-page team once a week over the past few months. Sharing: Fundamental Yahoo had 184.9 million visitors to its sites in December, the second-most visited Web properties in the U.S., according to Reston, Virginia-based ComScore Inc. Google Inc. had the most visitors, with 191.4 million, while Microsoft Corp. and Facebook were third and fourth, respectively. Enhancing social features is crucial to Yahoo’s success, Mayer said last week at an investor conference in San Francisco hosted by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. “One of the things that people really want to do is share their interests with their friends,” she said. “We need to have sharing built as a fundamental component.” Yahoo is using a Facebook service called Facebook Connect to import data such as user “likes” and preferences from the social network. Yahoo previously incorporated some Facebook tools into its home page in 2009. Yahoo will probably update the home page and other sites again this year, Mayer said. “I think there should be multiple updates per year to any core page or application like this,” she said. “While this is the first of these updates in 2013, there would be more to come.” The shares declined 1.7 percent to $20.92 at the close in New York . The stock has gained 39 percent in the past year, compared with an 11 percent increase for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

Akadia, Gujarat
Akadia or Ankadia is a village and former Rajput petty princely state on Saurashtra peninsula.
Village
Akadia (or Ankadia) lies in Amreli Taluka of Amreli district in Gujarat, western India. It is situated about twenty miles north-east of Babra, and about four miles north of Bhadli, on the northern bank of the Keri river.
History
The princely state, in Gohelwar prant, was ruled by Chavda Rajput Chieftains. During the British Raj, it was in the charge of the colonial Eastern Kathiawar Agency.
It comprised only the single village, with a population of 102 in 1901, yielding 1,250 Rupees state revenue (1903–04, all from land), paying 154 Rupees tribute to the British and Junagadh State.
It was a separate tribute paying state under the Babra thana during British period. The ruling Garasias were Chavda Rajputs and this was the only independent Chavda holding in Saurashtra.

Month 1 - Conception
Week 2
You may experience a prickling or tingling sensation in them. Your nipples may be particularly sensitive. Change of colour in your vulva.
Week 3
Food cravings set in. Some foods and drinks can suddenly become unappetising.
Week 4
Some of the earliest signs of pregnancy include tender breasts or tingling nipples. Also, some light bleeding or spotting around now, or the time that you usually have your period.
What you need to know:
• Your pregnancy journey begins when an egg is released from one of your ovaries
• Pregnancy increases blood supply to your breasts
• At three weeks, your fertilised egg is a tiny ball of constantly multiplying cells called a blastocyst
• You may notice some light bleeding or spotting around the fourth week
Your pregnancy at 2 weeks
The pregnancy journey begins when an egg is released from one of your ovaries (ovulation) and moves into the fallopian tube. This happens around day 14 of a regular 28-day menstrual cycle. The egg then waits for the next 12 to 24 hours, to be fertilised by a sperm.
Your partner ejaculates up to 600 million sperm, although only about 200 or so will reach your egg. You conceive when one of these sperm penetrates the outer membrane of your egg and fertilises it.
The fertilised egg, or zygote as it's now called, is swept down your fallopian tube and burrows into the lush lining of your womb (uterus). Sadly, early miscarriage is common and not all zygotes will become babies. But if your pregnancy progresses well over the next nine months, this minuscule zygote will grow and develop from a tiny ball of cells into your baby.
Pregnancy symptoms at two weeks
Pregnancy increases the blood supply to your breasts, so you may experience a prickling or tingling sensation in them. Your nipples may be particularly sensitive.
Another early sign that you're expecting is a change of your vulva's colour. Pregnancy will make your vulva and vagina darker. This is also caused by increased blood flow.
You may notice an increase in the amount of vaginal discharge. This discharge is usually harmless, and won't look different from the discharge you had before pregnancy.
Some light bleeding or spotting is common at two weeks pregnant. If you've noticed any pink or brown-coloured stains, or light cramping when you go to the toilet, it's probably implantation bleeding. This happens as your fertilised egg buries into the lining of your womb.
What you need to know at two weeks of pregnancy
If you think you've spotted the first signs of pregnancy, you'll be eager to take a pregnancy test. Some tests are designed to be very sensitive and can detect pregnancy hormones as early as six days after conception.
However, the most reliable sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Pregnancy tests will be more accurate if you wait to take one after your period was due. So, it may be best if you wait a little longer before you take your first test.
Your pregnancy at 3 weeks
Your fertilised egg is now a tiny ball of constantly multiplying cells called a blastocyst. It implants into the lining of your womb and continues to grow. Some cells will become your baby, while others will become the placenta or the amniotic sac.
The cells that are developing into a placenta have started to produce the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). This hormone tells your ovaries to boost the production of estrogen and progesterone, which stop your womb (uterus) from shedding its lining. HCG is also the hormone that will turn your pregnancy test positive.
Meanwhile, amniotic fluid is beginning to form in the cavity that will become the amniotic sac. This fluid will cushion your baby in the weeks and months ahead.
Pregnancy symptoms at three weeks
You may get food cravings early in your pregnancy or notice that your favourite foods and drinks are suddenly unappetising. Aversions to tea, coffee, alcohol, fried food, and eggs are common among new mums-to-be. This can work to your advantage though, as you should not drink any alcohol at all during pregnancy.
Don't be surprised if you feel tired and weepy. During the day, you may feel exhausted and struggle to stay awake. This is because your body is preparing itself to support your baby.
What you need to know at three weeks pregnant
You may feel pregnant, but it's unlikely you'll get a clear result from a pregnancy test at this stage. A sensitive test may show a faint line. But this can just leave you feeling confused, rather than satisfied or excited.
The clearest sign that you're pregnant is a missed period. Yours probably isn't due until the end of this week or even next week, depending on the length of your menstrual cycle.
Your pregnancy at 4 weeks
Inside your body, amazing developments are taking place. The tiny ball of cells dividing in your womb (uterus) is now an embryo and is about the size of a poppy seed.
The next 5 weeks are especially important to your baby’s growth, as the basic foundations of their organs and limbs begin to form. Your placenta is also in the early stages of development, and your baby is surrounded by an amniotic sac.
Pregnancy symptoms at 4 weeks
This week may be the first time you have an inkling of the changes going on inside your body. Some of the earliest signs of pregnancy include tender breasts or tingling nipples. You'll soon notice changes in your boobs if you haven't already.
You may notice some light bleeding or spotting during the time that you usually have your period. It is called breakthrough bleeding and happens when the hormones that are responsible for your menstrual cycle trigger bleeding. It can happen more than once throughout your pregnancy but is usually nothing to worry about.
What you need to know at 4 weeks of pregnancy
If you didn't begin taking a daily folic acid supplement when you were trying to conceive, now's the time to start. Folic acid helps to protect your baby against neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. You should take a daily supplement containing 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid until you're 12 weeks pregnant.
You also need to take 10mcg of vitamin D every day, throughout your pregnancy and beyond. This will help your baby to grow strong teeth and bones. You can take vitamin D and folic acid as separate supplements, or as part of a pregnancy multivitamin.
If you have diabetes or your body mass index (BMI) is above 30, you should be taking a higher dose of folic acid. Your GP can prescribe this for you at your booking appointment.

A285494
The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences gets regularly updated with new integer sequences. One of the recent updates was contributed by me, A285494.
A285494 is the list of all numbers k so that its digit sum equals its number of distinct prime factors.
A number’s digit sum is the sum of all of its decimal digits. The number 62831853, for example, has a digit sum of 6+2+8+3+1+8+5+3 = 36.
A number’s number of distinct prime factors is the number of different prime numbers that multiply together to result in the original number. As an example, 62831853 = 3^2 \cdot 7 \cdot 127 \cdot 7853, so it has five prime factors of which four are distinct.
Thereby one can conclude that 62831853 is not an entry in this sequence, as 36 \neq 4.
The sequence is certainly infinite, as the number k = 2 \cdot 10^n with n \in \mathbb{N}^* has a digit sum of 2 + (0 \cdot n) = 2 and — because k = 2^{n+1} \cdot 5^n — exactly two distinct prime factors.
In the encyclopedia entry, I provided a Mathematica one-liner to compute the first few entries of this sequence. Since then, I have also written a Python two-liner to achieve the same goal.
(* Mathematica *)
Select[Range[2,10000],Total[IntegerDigits[#]]==Length[FactorInteger[#]]&]
Out = {20, 30, 102, 120, 200, 300, 1002, 1200, 2000, 2001, 2002, 3000, 3010}
# Python 2.7
>>> def p(n):exec"i,f=2,set()\nwhile n>1:\n\tif n%i==0:f.add(i);n/=i;i=1\n\ti+=1";return len(f)
>>> print filter(lambda n:p(n)==sum(map(int,str(n))),range(2,10001))
[20, 30, 102, 120, 200, 300, 1002, 1200, 2000, 2001, 2002, 3000, 3010]
TI-99/4A Primes
Being a fan of old hardware, I used the TI-99/4A (released in 1981) to calculate some primes.
The code is written in BASIC, the programming language found on most computers of this era.
Further information on the TI can be found in this Wikipedia article.

Factorization
Playing around with prime numbers, I created this simple factorization program.
The interesting thing about prime factors is that they are unique. There can only be one way to multiply prime numbers to get n where n \in \mathbb{N} and n \geq 2 (excluding the commutative property).
For example, 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 7 = 42 and that is the only way to multiply prime numbers to get to 42.

Palindromic Primes
TheOnlinePhotographer has published a post to celebrate 171717 comments and was amused by the number’s symmetry.
A great comment by Lynn pointed out that this number is indeed an interesting number but not symmetrical.
Symmetrical numbers or words also called palindromes are defined as being the same read forwards or backwards. Examples for palindromic words are radar, noon or level. Palindromic numbers are 3, 404 or 172271.
Lynn then went further and checked if 171717 is at least a prime. The number sadly has five distinct prime factors (171717 = 3 \cdot 7 \cdot 13 \cdot 17 \cdot 37).
So Lynn wondered what the next palindromic prime would be.
To answer this question, I wrote this little Python program to check for palindromic primes. The first 120 palindromic primes are shown below.
Based on this list, the smallest palindromic prime larger than 171717 is 1003001.
3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181,

15451, 15551, 16061, 16361, 16561, 16661, 17471, 17971,
18181, 18481, 19391, 19891, 19991, 30103, 30203, 30403,
30703, 30803, 31013, 31513, 32323, 32423, 33533, 34543,
34843, 35053, 35153, 35353, 35753, 36263, 36563, 37273,
37573, 38083, 38183, 38783, 39293, 70207, 70507, 70607,
71317, 71917, 72227, 72727, 73037, 73237, 73637, 74047,
74747, 75557, 76367, 76667, 77377, 77477, 77977, 78487,
78787, 78887, 79397, 79697, 79997, 90709, 91019, 93139,
93239, 93739, 94049, 94349, 94649, 94849, 94949, 95959,
96269, 96469, 96769, 97379, 97579, 97879, 98389, 98689,
1003001, 1008001, 1022201, 1028201, 1035301, 1043401, 1055501, 1062601, ...
Thus it takes 1003001 - 171717 = 831284 more comments to reach the closest palindromic prime.
The sequence of palindromic primes is number A002385 in the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).

I don't think as a sovereign prince the Sultan should or would have used the title "sir" in formal occasions. For example, in the United Kingdom, even though many Peers are also knighted, instead of using their knightly titles they would simply append postnominal letters after their name. For example, the Duke of Norfolk, if a Knight of Garter, should always be addressed as His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, KG, and never as His Grace Sir Miles Francis Stapleton-Fitzalan-Howard, KG, the Duke of Norfolk or some other such combination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

With so much conflicting information, it’s easy to confuse the relationship between alcohol consumption and weight gain. This blog post will address a common question: “Will 2 beers a night make me fat?”
We’ll take a closer look at the myths and realities surrounding alcohol and weight gain and provide helpful information to understand better how your beer habit may or may not be affecting your waistline. So whether you’re concerned about your health or just curious to learn more, keep reading to find out what the experts say.

Will 2 Beers a Night Make Me Fat
Does Drinking Beer Automatically Lead to Weight Gain?
One of the most persistent myths about alcohol consumption is that drinking beer is enough to cause weight gain. While it is true that beer does contain calories, the amount you consume and the rest of your diet and lifestyle choices also play a significant role in your weight.
Research has shown that moderate alcohol consumption is not associated with weight gain. For example, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that among women, average alcohol consumption was not associated with weight gain over 12 years. Similarly, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that moderate alcohol consumption did not significantly affect men’s weight gain over six years.
It’s also worth noting that many other factors can contribute to weight gain beyond alcohol consumption. For example, eating a diet high in processed foods and sugar, being sedentary, and not getting enough sleep can all contribute to weight gain.
Overall, it’s important to approach alcohol consumption with mindfulness and moderation. Drinking in moderation (which generally means up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men) is not likely to cause significant weight gain. Still, excessive drinking can lead to health problems beyond just weight gain. You can enjoy a drink or two without worrying about unwanted weight gain by making healthy choices in your diet and lifestyle.
Is Beer Worse for Weight Gain Than Other Alcoholic Drinks?
Another common myth about alcohol consumption and weight gain is that beer is uniquely fattening compared to other types of alcohol. However, this is only sometimes the case. A 12-ounce beer typically contains around 150-200 calories, comparable to a glass of wine or a mixed drink. The key is moderation and being mindful of your overall calorie intake.
Here are some important points to keep in mind:
Ultimately, the key to avoiding weight gain from alcohol consumption is moderation and balance. Enjoying a drink or two in the context of an overall healthy diet and lifestyle is not likely to cause significant weight gain. Still, excessive consumption or poor choices in diet and exercise can contribute to health problems. By being mindful of your choices and maintaining a healthy balance, you can enjoy alcohol without sacrificing your health goals.
Does Drinking Beer Automatically Lead to Weight Gain?
Is Two Beers a Night Too Much?
Another common myth about alcohol consumption and weight gain is that drinking two beers a night is excessive and likely to lead to weight gain. While excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to weight gain and other health problems, drinking two beers a night in moderation is not necessarily a cause for concern.
Here are some important points to consider when it comes to drinking two beers a night:
• Moderation is key: Drinking in moderation means being mindful of how much you consume and how often. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines moderate drinking as one drink per day for women and up to two per day for men. If you drink two beers a night and nothing else, you’re technically staying within these guidelines.
• Your overall calorie intake matters: While two beers a night in moderation is unlikely to cause significant weight gain, it’s important to consider the general calorie content of your diet. Drinking two beers a night on top of a high-calorie diet can lead to weight gain over time. It’s important to balance your alcohol consumption with healthy food choices.
• Exercise can help: Regular physical activity can help counteract the potential effects of alcohol on weight gain. Exercise can boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories, which can help offset any excess calories from alcohol consumption.
• Alcohol can still have other health consequences: Even if you’re drinking two beers a night in moderation, excessive alcohol consumption can still have negative health consequences beyond just weight gain. It’s important to be aware of the potential risks of alcohol consumption and make choices that align with your overall health goals.
In summary, drinking two beers a night in moderation is not necessarily a cause for concern in terms of weight gain. Still, it’s important to be mindful of your overall calorie intake and make healthy choices in your diet and lifestyle. Then, by practicing moderation and balance, you can enjoy a drink or two without worrying about unwanted weight gain or other health consequences.

Šodolovci
Šodolovci (Шодоловци, Páznán) is a village and a municipality in Osijek-Baranja County in eastern Croatia. In the seven villages of the Šodolovci Municipality, there were 1,653 inhabitants at the time of the 2011 Census.
The landscape of the Šodolovci Municipality is marked by the Pannonian Basin plains and agricultural fields of maize, wheat, common sunflower and sugar beet.
Name
The name of the village in Croatian or Serbian is plural.
Geography
Šodolovci Municipality is divided into two parts with the village Palača and the largest village Silaš constituting an exclave separated from the rest of municipality by Ernestinovo Municipality and the village of Laslovo on its closest point. In addition, Silaš Exclave is in itself de facto pene-enclave as the main road between Palača and Silaš goes through the village of Korođ in neighboring Vukovar-Srijem County. Within the main part of the municipality villages Ada and Paulin Dvor are pene-enclaves. Local road between Šodolovci and Ada is not asphalted which is limiting its use during the bad weather conditions and is reorienting transportation over the Ernestinovo Municipality. There is no bridge on Vuka river between Paulin Dvor and the rest of municipality within its boundaries with nearest roads going through Vladislavci or Ernestinovo Municipality. State road D518 passes through the village of Ada. Other county roads include Ž4109 and Ž4130. Local L209 railway between Vinkovci–Gaboš–Osijek passes through the municipality for a couple of hundreds of meters next to the Palača village yet there is no local station as the village is using local station in Laslovo with which it is physically connected. The territory of the municipality is almost completely flat as it is part of the Pannonian Plain. Southern part of the municipality is mostly covered in forest.

Hyperdontia is a condition that results in individuals having more teeth than usual. This can affect both the number and size of teeth and cause problems with chewing, speaking, and smiling. While the cause of Hyperdontia is unknown, treatment options are available.
What is Hyperdontia?
Hyperdontia is a condition that results in individuals having more teeth than usual. This can affect both the number and size of teeth and cause problems with chewing, speaking, and smiling. In some cases, people with Hyperdontia may have as many as 40 teeth, while others may have just a few extra teeth. The condition can affect both primary (baby) teeth and permanent (adult) teeth. Hyperdontia can be a cosmetic concern, but it can also lead to more serious problems, such as crowding teeth and difficulty chewing.
What Causes Hyperdontia?
The exact cause of Hyperdontia is unknown. However, the condition appears to be hereditary, meaning it can run in families, including:
1. Gardner’s Syndrome
Gardeners’ syndrome is a condition that results in the growth of extra body hair, benign tumors, and, in some cases, Hyperdontia.
2. Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Cleidocranial dysplasia is a genetic condition that can cause abnormal development of the bones and teeth. People with this condition may have more teeth than usual, often resulting in up to 42 teeth.
3. Ectodermal Dysplasia
Ectodermal dysplasia is a group of conditions that affect skin, hair, and nail development. In some cases, people with ectodermal dysplasia may also have Hyperdontia.
4. Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
Cleft lip and cleft palate are congenital disabilities that result in a split or opening in the lip or roof of the mouth. People with these conditions may also have Hyperdontia, although they will often have fewer teeth than usual.
Symptoms of Hyperdontia
The most common symptom of Hyperdontia is the presence of extra teeth. These teeth may be visible in the mouth or buried underneath the gums. Additionally, people with Hyperdontia may experience Crowding of teeth and difficulty chewing. The extra teeth can erupt through the gums and cause pain and swelling in some cases.
Diagnosing Hyperdontia
If you are concerned that you or your child may have Hyperdontia, see a for an evaluation. Your teeth will be examined, and take detailed x-rays to determine whether any additional teeth are present. They will also ask about your family history to see if there is a genetic component to your condition. Diagnosis of Hyperdontia is essential as it can help to determine the best course of treatment.
Treatment for Hyperdontia
Treatment for Hyperdontia will depend on the severity of the condition and any related symptoms. In milder cases, removing one or more teeth may be recommended to prevent overcrowding. If a tooth is impacted, it may also need to be removed. Visit an experienced dentist who may also recommend orthodontic treatment for individuals with Hyperdontia to address crowding and other cosmetic concerns. Treatment includes:
1. Braces

Braces can be used to correct the alignment of teeth and prevent overcrowding. This can help alleviate any symptoms related to Hyperdontia, such as difficulty chewing or speaking.
2. Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements that are placed in the jawbone. If you have lost one or more teeth due to Hyperdontia, dental implants can be used to restore your smile.
3. Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a surgical procedure that involves removing one or more teeth from the mouth. This may be recommended if you have crowding of teeth or impacted teeth.
In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove extra teeth.

A Benefactor, His Home Loans, and Pain
About New York Among the mighty of New York City, Howard P. Milstein roams many corridors of power. He sits at the head of charities, has been the chairman of the State’s Thruway Authority and can find his family’s name chiseled onto the walls of hospitals. He also has run the Emigrant Savings Bank since 2004 — “We saved it,” Mr. Milstein said — and expanded a vigorous program that made hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to people with bad credit ratings and no proof that they could pay the money back. They did, however, have houses that were rich in equity for collateral, and signed documents agreeing that they would pay an interest rate of 18 percent if they fell behind, a circumstance that befell half of Emigrant’s subprime borrowers by 2009. In Mr. Milstein’s telling at a federal trial now underway in Brooklyn, such lending was a great service to the community, a source of capital for people who could not otherwise get money. “We were booking more loans and saving more homes for people,” he said last month. Many such loans are widely seen today as part of the toxic financial sludge that accumulated ahead of the global banking and investment crisis of 2008. They are illegal now. But eight families are suing Emigrant and its mortgage subsidiary, claiming that the bank’s lending practices were also illegal a decade ago, at the time their loans were made, primarily because the loans wound up being marketed to minority homeowners. That is a different, more nuanced issue than whether the loans were wise or contributed to good social hygiene. The bank argues that anyone, of any race, with low credit and high equity in a home would have been eligible for its subprime lending. The color of the hide did not matter, as long as it was otherwise suitable for skinning. If the financial crisis was one kind of reckoning, the trial of Emigrant is another, micro-version: a vision of an unhealthy, unwise or naïve appetite for debt on the part of some borrowers, and the unseemly drive to provide it that led Mr. Milstein to plow more and more money into a program with a skyrocketing rate of people falling behind. “They had a high rate of delinquencies, is that right?” asked Reed Colfax, a lawyer representing eight people suing the bank over the loans. “Well, it depends on what time frame you’re talking about,” Mr. Milstein replied. “Certainly during the fiscal crisis they had a high rate.” About one loan in four was delinquent around the time Mr. Milstein took over the bank in 2004. By 2009, it was one in two. Under Mr. Milstein, the bank paid its highest incentives and commissions to people who brought in the subprime loans, and nearly tripled the amount of lending, according to records presented at the trial. They were known as Star or Nina loans. “Well, isn’t it true that they always had the highest rate of delinquency of any mortgage program you had in the bank?” Mr. Colfax asked. “Well, when you think of delinquencies, you have ——” Mr. Milstein began, before being interrupted by Judge Sterling Johnson of the United States District Court. “Yes or no?” Judge Johnson asked. “Well, I would say that for the credit scores they were as expected but that may well have been the highest,” Mr. Milstein replied. “It was a very small — the smallest of our programs.” Judge Johnson apparently saw that as a nonanswer. “Strike that from the record,” the judge said, and Mr. Milstein eventually conceded that it did have the highest rate. Nevertheless, documents showed that the delinquencies presented little risk because the homes were so valuable. The borrowers — among them a home health aide, a clinic worker at Rikers Island and a library employee — described financial binds for which the subprime Emigrant loans seemed a way out. They testified they did not realize they were signing up for 18 percent interest rates after being late on payments for a month or two. Like Mr. Milstein, they resisted answering straightforward questions such as whether they had signed certain forms disclosing their perils. Having fallen behind by more than $30,000 on water and gas bills, Edith St. Jean testified, she and her husband found a broker who set them up with an Emigrant mortgage and promised that the refinancing would yield enough cash to pay all their old bills and increase their monthly payment by only $500. At the closing, she said, she discovered it would be twice their previous monthly payment, but was assured of a lower payment in six months. It never came, she said. “They destroyed my life,” she said. An Emigrant lawyer, Keisha Ann Gray, said that Ms. St. Jean and all the borrowers were getting choices. “And as an adult,” she said, “who better to know how much you can afford than you?” A headline on Wednesday for the About New York column, about a lawsuit over subprime loans at Emigrant Savings Bank, referred incorrectly to those loans in the context of the bank’s history. The assertion by Howard Milstein, quoted in the column, that his family “saved” Emigrant referred to the family’s acquisition of the bank in the 1980s; it is not the case that the subprime loans, from the 2000s, “helped save” the bank.

In the early uprisings against the British Raj in India, a new kind of freedom fighter emerged: a rebel warrior queen who led her troops into pitched battles for independence. The rani of Jhansi was one of the leading figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and a symbol of resistance against the British. What’s more, she was a total badass.
The rani, or Hindu queen, was born in the holy town of Varanasi sometime around 1828, and was given the name Manikarnika–“mistress of jewels.” From an early age, she is said to have had several tomboyish tendencies. Her mother died when she was only a toddler. As a result, Manikarnika was brought up in the court of a chief minister, the Peshwa, where her father was an advisor. She was educated alongside the boys in the Peshwa’s court, and so learned skills unusual for a young girl at the time: martial arts, sword-fighting, and horse-riding.
When she was a teenager, Manikarnika was married to Gangadhar Rao, who was the maharaja (king) of Jhansi, a small territory in northeast India. Upon her marriage, as was customary for Indian queens at the time, Manikarnika took a new name: Lakshmibai. The maharaja was 20 years her senior, and she was his second wife. She was far more active than he, and had a keen interest in horses. The rani exercised and practiced with the palace’s weapons, and even drilled and trained a regiment of women.
“This may not have been quite so unusual as it appears,” writes Allen Copsey, who has extensively researched the rani’s life. The women’s quarters of a palace were often guarded by armed women, and these women warriors would occasionally take part in battles. “What was unusual was for the rani to be in charge of their training.”
In 1853, just 11 years after his marriage to Lakshmibai, the maharaja died. On the day before his death, the childless king adopted a son in order to make him heir to the throne, since his wife, as a woman, was not entitled to that right. Up until then, the princely state of Jhansi had been independent of British India, but had maintained a pro-British stance.
After the maharaja’s death, the British seized the territory and refused to recognize the rani or her adopted son as rulers of the territory, despite the queen’s repeated appeals.
The following year, the rani was ordered to leave the palace and the fort of Jhansi. Lakshmibai took up residence in a palace called Rani Mahal. She had refused to confine herself to the usual fate of a childless Hindu widow, and had forgone most of the traditions associated with widowhood, such as shaving her head and breaking her bangles. John Lang, a British counsel, visited her at Rani Mahal to listen to her appeal. According to Lang’s memoir, the rani, who was around 26 years old at the time, emphatically exclaimed, “Mera Jhansi nahin dengee!”–Hindi for “I will not give up my Jhansi!”
It was not as though the members of the East India Company thought she was incapable of rule. One political agent at the time wrote that the maharaja’s widow, “in whose hands he has expressed a wish that the government should be placed during her lifetime, is a woman highly respected and esteemed, and I believe fully capable of doing justice to such a charge,” Antonia Fraser reports in the book, Warrior Queens.
Tales of the rani’s formidable strength and resolve abound; Fraser writes of an account which describes the Rani on horseback, “with the reins in her teeth and two swords in her hand.” Despite her abilities, the rani was reluctant to rebel against the British–until 1857.
Mutiny broke out across northern India in 1857, beginning in Meerut and traveling to Jhansi. The Jhansi Fort was besieged by mutineers, who entered and slaughtered every British man, woman and child within. Though the rani’s involvement with the mutiny is still debated, she was associated with the massacre from the very beginning. A British army doctor, Thomas Lowe, described her as “the Jezebel of India … the young, energetic, proud, unbending, uncompromising Ranee, and upon her head rested the blood of the slain, and a punishment as awful awaited her.”
Following the rebellion, Lakshmibai returned to Jhansi under the intention of holding the fort for the British, and defended it against attackers. The British, however, ignored her pleas for help in defending the territory. To them, Jhansi had become a rebel encampment, and Lakshmibai its warrior queen.
The next year, Sir Hugh Rose, a commander in the British army, was tasked with cleaning up the remaining rebel encampments in India following the mutiny. He set off for Jhansi, and as a result, Lakshmibai set aside her peaceful mien and began preparing for war. According to Fraser, she secured 14,000 volunteers from a population of 220,000, as well as 15,000 Indian soldiers who had been serving under the British (sepoys). She also set up a foundry to cast cannons over the walls of the fort.
In March of 1858, Rose’s troops descended on Jhansi, and the warrior queen led her troops into battle. Eventually, Jhansi’s resistance faltered, and the queen escaped into the night with her adopted son, decamping in a nearby town. The British attacked the town in May, and the Indian troops led by the rani were defeated. She fled again, this time to Gwalior, with the intention of taking the strategically positioned Gwalior Fort alongside other rebel leaders.
In June of that year, the wrath of the British arrived in Gwalior, and it was here that the rani of Jhansi was finally defeated. The other rebel leaders had not listened to her suggestion to prepare for an attack on Gwalior, and the fort fell on June 16, 1858. The rani was commanding a large Indian force the next day when she was killed in battle. The rebel troops were demoralized and left Gwalior; it was undeniable to all that the death of the rani marked the end of the Indian rebellion.
Sir Hugh Rose wrote to the Duke of Cambridge after Lakshmibai’s death, and described her as “remarkable in her bravery, cleverness and perseverance … the most dangerous of all the rebel leaders,” and called her “a sort of Indian Joan of Arc.” Colonel Mason wrote in his History of the Indian Mutiny that “whatever her faults in British eyes may have been, her countrymen will ever remember that she was driven by ill-treatment into rebellion, and that she lived and died for her country.”
