How to send data to a Slack channel using webhooks and Zapier
You can send data to Slack automatically using Glide's workflow actions and the Zapier integration platform.
1
Firstly create a new Zap in Zapier using the in built trigger app Webhooks
1. From your Zapier dashboard click on the orange Make a Zap button towards the top right of the screen.
2. For Choose a trigger App select the built in App called Webhooks.
3. Select Catch hook and then click Save + continue.
4. You don't need to pick off a child key so click Continue.
5. Click Copy to clipboard to copy the Webhook URL.
2
Create the workflow action in Glide and trigger a test posting to the webhook.
1. Click on the Config menu (remember you'll need to be a superuser to do this).
2. Click on Edit workflow systems.
3. Drill into the relevant workflow system by clicking on the pencil icon to the right of the name.
4. Click on the workflow routes tab.
5. Scroll down to the route that you wish to add the action to, find the appropriate workflow step (e.g. Sent to client etc) and click Create new action.
6. Select the Send data to a webhook workflow action, paste the URL (from Zapier) and give the action a title. Click save.
7. Find an existing job or create a new one and progress through the step onto which you have added the action (e.g. Sent to client). This will trigger the workflow action.
3
Back to the Zap editor
1. Switch back to the Zapier window. Click on the OK I did this button to confirm you have triggered the test.
2. Glide queues the data and sends every 60 seconds therefore allow for a small delay before Zapier confirms the test is successful. Once it has click Continue.
3. Next choose an Action App for your 1st Action step (you need at least 1 but could have multiple). For my tutorial I have selected Slack.
4. I already both have a Slack account and have linked it to my Zapier account, if you haven't you'll need to do both of these first.
5. On the Select Slack Action page I have chosen Send Channel message. Click Save + continue.
6. Select the relevant Slack account then click Save + continue.
7. You must select a Slack Channel and enter the message text, everything else is optional. In the message text you can combine text with data from your Glide system by clicking on the + icon in the top right corner of the message text entry box. Click Continue.
8. Click Send test to Slack and check your Slack channel to see the test info. Click Finish.
9. Name your Zap, switch it on and you are up and running with Glide -> Slack integration.
The following information is currently provided by Glide in the Send data to a webhook workflow action:
• Source (information about what event or step in Glide triggered the workflow action).
• The name and code of every sub-system active on the job.
• The client name and the Glide ID number.
• The name of the workflow system and the system ID.
• For every active sub-system the route name, current stage (post step if applicable) and the current holder.

Understanding Your Current Network Environment
Topic Last Modified: 2005-05-06
Before you design your Exchange messaging system, you need to understand the physical and logical aspects of your current environment. From a physical standpoint, your design depends on the type and integrity of your network infrastructure. These factors influence how you deploy Exchange, where you place servers, and the expected user experience. From a logical standpoint, Exchange 2003 depends on the Active Directory® directory service for its services, so your existing Active Directory framework must be sound. In fact, it is highly recommended that you design your Active Directory framework with Exchange in mind.
importantImportant:
An Active Directory infrastructure must be in place before you deploy Exchange 2003. When designing Active Directory, you should understand how Exchange considerations affect your design.
This section describes various aspects of the network infrastructure and Active Directory framework that you should assess when planning an Exchange messaging system. For a checklist that outlines the physical and logical factors you should consider when assessing your current environment, see "Checklist for Evaluating Your Current Environment."
The Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool automatically examines your network and determines if the configuration is set according to Microsoft best practices for an Exchange deployment. For more information, see the Microsoft Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=34707).
One of the first things you should do is build a complete picture of the existing physical network so you can determine how well your existing infrastructure supports Exchange. Going through this process can help you identify any needs for upgrades to the existing LAN or WAN. Start with a simple representation of the entire network to identify locations of offices and the connections between them, and then build in more detail, as illustrated by the following figure:
Start with a simple representation of your network infrastructure
35b73a9b-2451-4c2d-aa07-643fefb496f2
To obtain a detailed picture of the LAN and WAN configuration, it is recommended that you diagram all site locations, connection types, and network topologies (such as bus, token ring, or star). Include the locations of firewalls and perimeter networks. Your assessment should also include a thorough inventory of the hardware that currently makes up your network infrastructure, including stand-alone and clustered servers, routers, and switches. Also note all data center logistics, including rack space, cabling, and power supplies. "Checklist for Evaluating Your Current Environment" lists specific items you examine during this assessment.
In general, you should assess your network infrastructure from the following perspectives:
• Geographical considerations
• Bandwidth and latency
• Current usage
• Current messaging system
These areas are discussed in the following sections.
After you map the locations of buildings, campuses, and branch offices, determine the types of network connections to each site, as well as the placement of routers and switches. A thorough understanding of this infrastructure can help you determine the number of Exchange routing groups you need, as well as the servers that will constitute each routing group. You also need to know the incoming and outgoing messaging points, including messages to servers within an Exchange organization and servers outside the Exchange messaging system.
A key consideration for planning your messaging system is the total amount of data that can be transmitted over the network in a given amount of time. This quantity is determined by a combination of bandwidth and latency. Bandwidth is the speed of transmission over a network connection in kilobits per second. Latency refers to the amount of time it takes in milliseconds to transfer data from one point to another. Both of these factors combine to determine the amount of data that can be transmitted in a certain amount of time over the network. The product of these two factors directly affects user perception of how long it takes to process a transaction.
When evaluating your network connections, you need to evaluate bandwidth and latency, recognizing that although some types of network connections can maximize bandwidth, they may increase latency. For example, a satellite connection may offer high bandwidth, but latency may suffer when compared to ground connections such as frame relay or dial-up Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).
When mapping site locations and connections, determine the type and speed of network connectivity, and factor in the amount of latency introduced due to distances between sites. You may need to recommend network upgrades as part of the project.
The current usage of the network is another key consideration. Examine network usage from all angles, including use by applications and users. Along with identifying the current applications that use the network, consider the impact of future projects or initiatives. You need to plan for the additional impact that future applications will have on the network.
An extremely important consideration when assessing current usage is the network load at peak times. To determine user load on the network, look at the number of users in the various sites as well as their patterns of use.
In general, if a site has more than ten users and is connected by low-bandwidth, high-latency network connections, the site should work in offline mode. Sites connected by low-bandwidth, high-latency network connections benefit from upgrading to Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2003, and Outlook 2003, because they may be able to use the full features of Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook 2003.
During planning, you should ask the following questions about your current messaging system:
• What impact does your current messaging system have on your network?
• Are you currently running an earlier version of Exchange? If so, are you running Exchange 5.5, Exchange 2000, or both versions in mixed mode?
During planning you should determine the impact of your current messaging system on your network. To simulate the usage of your current messaging system, use load-simulation tools such as Microsoft Exchange Server Load Simulation Tool (LoadSim.exe) and the Exchange Stress and Performance (ESP) tool. LoadSim simulates the effect of high usage by Outlook MAPI clients and helps you customize the Outlook profiles you want to use during testing. ESP simulates the effect of high usage by non-MAPI clients, such as Post Office Protocol (POP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Outlook Web Access 2003. You can also use ESP to simulate load in an architecture that incorporates front-end servers.
The method you follow for upgrading from an existing Exchange messaging system to Exchange 2003 depends on whether you are running Exchange 5.5 or Exchange 2000. If you are currently running Exchange 5.5 on Windows NT® Server version 4.0, you need to plan for moving user accounts to Active Directory and synchronizing directory information. Exchange 5.5 has its own directory service, whereas Exchange 2003 relies on Active Directory for its directory services. In your project plan, you need to build in a method for synchronizing the two directories. You may also need to plan for a period of coexistence until you can move entirely to Exchange 2003 and Active Directory. If you are running Exchange 2000 or a mixed Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000 environment, upgrading to Exchange 2003 is straightforward if Active Directory is already updated with current directory information. For this reason, you need to carefully examine the state of your directory information. For more information about how to plan your deployment path from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003, see "Planning Your Deployment Path."
If you are currently running Exchange 5.5, another factor to consider is using Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode feature to host more users per server, thereby reducing the number of Exchange servers you need. For more information about Cached Exchange Mode, see "Understanding Versions of Exchange, Windows, and Outlook."

What All Can Your Iphone Do?
Most people have an iphone, and a good portion of those own an iphone; however, many aren’t aware of the great things they can do with such a phone. You aren’t alone if you don’t think you’re getting out of an iphone. Read the following article to find out more about the iphone.
In order to conserve your battery usage on the iPhone, reduce the brightness level. All you need to do is go into your phone’s settings and scale back its brightness. Your iPhone will draw less power with a darker screen, and you’ll find that a single charge lasts longer this way.
You can take a picture through using your headphone cord as well. Press the button located on the cord when you are ready.Using this technique will help ensure your photos are crisp and ending up with a blurry photo.
Siri allows you to set reminders based on your location. If you were used to giving Siri time-based commands, you can instead switch to location-based commands to make things easier. It will call you when you get home. Then, when the phone detects you’re at home, it will remind you to call work. That way, you get your reminder no matter what time you get home.
Your iphone has the ability to get you from one location to a new one. The iphone allows you to bookmark the map tab so you can access at any time.
Did you know that your iPhone functions exactly like a GPS? You can use the map feature as your GPS to find locations or amenities along your route. For quick access, bookmark the map function.
There is no need to select the “x” box that follows a word. Just tap somewhere else on the screen anywhere instead.This is a faster way to get rid of the fastest way of closing the suggestion box.
The iPhone allows you to grow the dictionary and shortcuts. There’s no reason your iPhone shouldn’t anticipate the words you want to use. In addition, you can add more phrases to make more shortcuts. Your on screen keyboard will also use the auto-correct feature to make typing certain words and phrases easier.
The iphone has a nifty little feature where you come up with your very own shortcuts and dictionary. Your phone will figure out exactly what you’re going to type next. You can establish your own phrases or shortcuts to your iphone as well. The keyboard will also pull from this dictionary for autocorrect when typing words and phrases.
Search for an app that lets you utilize your phone for storage. This makes uploading videos, pictures, music and text files much easier. You can access the files right from your iPhone, or by connecting the device to a computer.
Text Files
Take full advantage of your iPhone by using its multimedia capabilities. You can download or stream videos, films, television shows and more from hundreds of different websites. Your iPhone can be an extremely powerful portable media station.
There are many useful apps available that allows users to upload files to the iphone and make it a storage device. It is easy to grab text files, photos, videos and text files. You just need to connect your phone to any computer, or by connecting the device to a computer.
It may not be a good idea to use Siri. Apple records all prompts that go to Siri, and puts them on their internal servers. These files are stored in a secure location and are used for improving speech recognition, but it is good to be aware that your prompts may be recorded.
A website that is designed with boxes can be perused slowly using one finger to see each box. Two fingers will make navigating the whole web page.
The Safari browser on your iPhone is capable of almost everything your standard, full-size computer browser is capable of–including saving images you find online. If you run into a picture you want to save while you’re browsing, just tap and hold it. You will be given the option of saving the image to the Camera Roll directly on your phone. You can even copy it into a message!
If you do not want to use the iphone suggestions for typing an email or note, the suggestion box can be dismissed without touching the “X.” Just tap the screen anywhere and the suggestion box will be eliminated.
Do a hard reboot if your phone is not responding to the Sleep and Wake button. Press down and hold the Sleep/Wake button while simultaneously holding and pressing on Home. This button combo will cause the phone to shut down and restart, which should get your phone back to working order.
This function is great when dealing with email addresses and phrases that are used often like “Where are you?” or “On my way.” This feature can be located in the phone’s keyboard settings area.
If you drop your beloved iPhone in the water, resist the temptation to immediately turn it on and assess the damage. Dry the outside well and allow the any internal water to dry overnight. If you turn on a wet phone, it can cause it to be permanently damaged.
Be choosy about which apps for your iphone. Some applications engage in unscrupulous data mining practices or charge hidden fees.
Even though the iPhone tries to make surfing the web easy, it can sometimes be difficult to have to go back to the beginning of long webpages. There is not need to do that! Tap the status bar to return to the top of the page. This will also work for other programs such as iTunes.
You will likely want to finish your current screen before responding to the notifications. You can quickly get rid of that notification easily. You just wipe away the pop-up bar when it appears on your screen.
If your iPhone freezes, try to relax. First, press the Sleep/Wake button. However, should this fail, press the Home key with the sleep/wake button. If that still doesn’t work try resetting your phone by holding the home button for 5 seconds.
The command for marking emails unread in the iphone isn’t a visible one.
You can send treasured photos to your loved ones by using the iPhone. Two options are available to achieve this. First, you can achieve this by adding it to an email from your saved images, or you can upload it onto Facebook.
You can save some time typing on your iphone. Go to the main part of the settings sections and make new keyboard shortcuts. This will allow you can take the complex phrases or long words you use and over. Then going forward you won’t have to type them out each time.
You can scroll through the entire list of your contacts in three distinct ways. Finger scroll through the list, tap on a letter from the alphabet list or press on the list to scroll. Method three allows you to quickly scroll through the entire list.
You can take screenshots at any point by using your device. Simply press the power and home button all at one time. This takes the snapshots of your phone’s current display and directly forwards it to the Images area for you.
Use your iPhone to connect with family and friends on social media sites. You can keep your friends up-to-date with what is going on in your life by using popular sites like Twitter and Facebook. This allows you to be on top of the latest happenings and updates from your friends.
You should be using your iphone to share and send photos to your friends and/or family. There are two different ways you can do this. First, save your image and add as an email attachment, or you can go to your Facebook application and upload it there for everyone to see.
If you’re suffering from that dreaded frozen iPhone screen, then simply press the home button down for 5 seconds. Your iPhone should reboot. If not, hold Power and Home together for about twelve to fifteen seconds. This should be used only in the event that the first doesn’t work.
Social Media
Using your iPhone to its full potential and learning its tricks can help you rid your junk mail with a single finger swipe. Simply highlight the message by dragging your finger across the message and hitting the delete button that comes up.
Use your iphone to connect through social media with your friends. The iphone helps you update your friends updated through social media like Twitter or Facebook. Get the latest updates with social media apps so you know what is going on.
You want to use the utmost care when dealing with the connector cord in your iPhone because they can easily get damaged. Always try to disconnect this cord as gently as possible from the iPhone and power outlet. If you take care of your cord, it will last you for about 12 months.
You don’t always have probably found out how to scroll through the contacts. Hold down your finger over the list of contacts. Slide gently up and down the list for a simpler method of scrolling.This will help you easily control your search.
Would you like to have an alert tone that is different from anyone else? Customizing these is actually quite an easy process. Just click under the “Settings” section and go to the “Sounds” option. Change any alerts that you wish to alter their sound. From there, choose the option that allows you to purchase additional tones.
A fun way to communicate via your iphone is FaceTime. This lets people actually see the individual they are speaking with. Just go to a contact and find the FaceTime button.
Are you having trouble getting your phone to respond? Hold the Home button in for about 6 seconds if pressing the other buttons don’t work. This will close any apps that are locked. If that did not fix the problem, hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously for about ten seconds. Soon, you’ll see Apple’s logo, and your phone will reset.
It can be tough to scroll through a smaller window in Safari from your iphone. You may find your self scrolling down the main website instead. Then use two fingers instead of just one.
Try to refrain from downloading a large amount of movies on your device. A full motion picture takes up about 1g of space. If you have stored more than one movie, you can cause sites to crash when surfing. It may also interfere with the ways apps operate.
Are you attempting to backup the contacts in your phone contacts? There is an app known as iDrive Lite; it will let you share and save your contacts easily. This is totally free is you have updated the software in your iphone to 2. prior to starting the process.
Are you looking for a way to shut down multiple background programs? Click your home button and this will get rid of them immediately. Look for the app you want to close, and press down on it with your finger. After a moment, the icon will wiggle and a red “minus” will appear in the corner. Tap the minus sign to shut down the application.
Would you like to have an alert tone on our iphone that is different from the crowd? You can make custom alert tones by customizing your tones. Go to the Settings section.Select the musical alert sound that appeals to you. Then select the “Buy more tones.
When the webpage you are reading is quite long, you do not have to scroll all the way back to the top to return. Just touch status bar, found in grey on your screen on top, and it will instantly take you back to the page on top as well as address bar.
Be certain not to add excessive numbers of movies in the iphone. A full motion picture takes up roughly 1g of space. Having multiples can take up so much space that it could cause problems when loading websites. It can also interfere with the ways apps operate.
If you withhold your phone number from an individual you are calling, there’s a setting for that. Simply get to Settings, then Phone, then tap Show Caller ID. Switch that to OFF. Also, this section gives you a brief reminder of the phone number for your device.
Are there a number of apps or background programs running on your iphone? You can do this quickly by tapping your phone’s Home key. Locate the app you wish to close, and then push on it with your finger. Once you notice a wiggle from the icon, tap the icon that is red to close it.
Load web pages much quicker by cutting the “www” and “.com” portions of the address. and “.com,” you should use Google as your search engine. By using Google you can type the webpage’s name and it will direct you to the website.
Although they’re not cheap to purchase, iPhones give their users an astonishing amount of power (they can do almost anything a home computer can) right in their pockets. If you already own the iphone, you know how powerful it is. By applying the information from this article you should be able to utilize your iphone to its fullest potential.

Wall Street analysts say these stocks are 'underappreciated'
Investors looking for value should look no further than "underappreciated" stocks such as Boot Barn, Pure Storage, Roku, Upwork, Lam Research, and Nasdaq, according to Wall Street analysts. CNBC combed through recent Wall Street research to find companies that analysts say have "underappreciated" stock stories. Competition may be heating up in the online streaming space but that's not stopping some analysts from getting bullish on one "underappreciated" company. And it's not Netflix. Roku is an "industry-leading" streaming video platform, analysts at Guggenheim said this week. "As the company expands its international offering and numerous new streaming video services launch with global growth ambitions, we see underappreciated opportunity for the company to drive significant economic growth and create value for shareholders," they said. Shares of the company were down significantly on the week. Another underappreciated name getting analyst attention is flash data storage and hardware developer, Pure Storage, which held an investor event at a recent tech conference. The company presented a wide range of new products impressing analysts at William Blair. ""We attended Accelerate 2019 and came away with reinforced conviction that Pure Storage is a tremendously underappreciated growth story," they said. "Management articulated its 'modern data experience' vision for the next decade and rolled out an expanded product portfolio, continuing its heritage of innovation and broadening the serviceable market for its technology," the analysts said. Shares of Pure Storage were up 0.8% on the week. Also named as underappreciated is Upwork, the online platform for employers to find and connect with freelancers. While analysts at BTIG admitted the stock wasn't cheap, they did say the company's "potential is underappreciated as it is poised to reap future benefits from strategies being implemented today." Specifically, "we believe the direct sales force, new membership plans, hyperlocal marketplaces, specialized profiles and other initiatives will yield gross sales value growth and/or higher monetization," they said. The stock was down 8% on the week. Here's what else analysts are saying about underappreciated stocks: "In our view, BOOT remains the most underappreciated growth story in our coverage universe with steady comp growth, unit growth, and margin growth leading to 20%+ EPS growth. Yet we foresee no change in business momentum, and shares trade at 19x EPS on decelerating sell-side estimates into CY2020. Importantly, BOOT has a number of initiatives all working together right now. And its heavy functional use product exposure acts like an annuity. All in, our farm & ranch channel work remains highly positive, tariff exposure appears minimal/immaterial, and we expect BOOT to continue to post strong growth numbers." "We attended Accelerate 2019 and came away with reinforced conviction that Pure Storage is a tremendously underappreciated growth story. Management articulated its 'modern data experience' vision for the next decade and rolled out an expanded product portfolio, continuing its heritage of innovation and broadening the serviceable market for its technology (total addressable market expansion from $24 billion in 2016 to $50 billion today). Yet, at its current scale, Pure is no longer just an upstart innovator, but has become a safe choice for enterprises—which should allow the company to deliver a broader suite of products to the world's biggest buyers." "Roku is the industry-leading streaming video platform providing growing value for viewers, marketers, content owners, and TV brands. As the company expands its international offering and numerous new streaming video services launch with global growth ambitions, we see under-appreciated opportunity for the company to drive significant economic growth and create value for shareholders." "While we acknowledge UPWK is not inexpensive on current numbers, we believe Upwork's potential is underappreciated as it is poised to reap future benefits from strategies being implemented today. Specifically, we believe the direct sales force, new membership plans, hyperlocal marketplaces, specialized profiles and other initiatives will yield gross sales value growth and/or higher monetization. We believe investors are overly focused on revenue, which can be misleading given active strategies that depress sales." "While we think Lam's services business remains underappreciated, pushback from investors has consistently highlighted the lack of quarterly revenue disclosure with many focused on the mix of lumpier upgrades & refurbs vs. LT service contract penetration." "While NDAQ is well known for the exchange, the company is in the middle of a strategic pivot growing its non-transaction revenue to over 70% of overall revenue. While the transaction business is still crucial to providing proprietary trading data, we believe Information Services and Market Technology will fuel major revenue growth. In particular, we believe Market Technology is still a misunderstood and underappreciated asset. Additionally, multiple catalysts, including margin expansion, solid organic growth and name change can also re-rate the company. We believe NDAQ is also attractive to tech investors who are looking for a strong balance sheet and robust bottom line." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Optimizing Ethernet for industrial implementation
When selecting and installing industrial Ethernet, consider this advice from IMS Research.
08/31/2011
Ethernet connector, Control Engineering artJohn Morse, senior market analyst, automation and control, IMS Research, answered questions regarding industrial Ethernet implementation.
What are key considerations to optimize an industrial Ethernet implementation?
Availability of skill set—If a user is switching from a fieldbus to Ethernet, an understanding of the modus operandi of Ethernet is essential, particularly regarding the addressing mechanism. Some fieldbuses are very easy to implement, and the Ethernet switch can be quite a change. Also, it is very easy to get blasé about Ethernet when used in a commercial environment where it has become plug-and-play for many users. There are more considerations when it is used in industrial automation.
Infrastructure—Is the cabling up to the job? This is particularly important if gigabit Ethernet is being employed.
Is nondeterminism an issue?
This used to be a big challenge but is less so in recent times due to the common use of switches to isolate sensitive parts of the network and the fact that many applications are unfazed by a small delay in node-to-node response times. Also, few networks are so busy that it’s a problem.
Why use Ethernet instead of another industrial network?
Four reasons: 1) Compatibility with the existing IT system enables seamless integration of data throughout the enterprise. 2) Common use of infrastructure network components can ease implementation. This is more relevant to enterprises that do not need industrially hardened products. In some cases, there are cost savings to be had as the price of components goes down and as demand goes up. 3) Speed helps. Even 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is fast! 4) Ethernet is fashionable right now.
What Ethernet protocol do you need and why?
There are two main types of Ethernet. General protocols, such as Ethernet TCP/IP, Profinet, and EtherNet/IP, and those designed to meet high-speed, deterministic and low-jitter application, such as EtherCAT and SERCOS III [also CC-Link IE and Profinet IRT].
Around 50% of industrial applications work fine with the standard Ethernet TCP/IP.
If determinism is an issue then an industrial variant must be considered. Reasons will include high-speed production (bottling plants are typical) and motion control applications where synchronization of motors/servos is critical. Where there are safety critical issues to consider, such as e-stops, the network must be able to react fast and reliably.
Can multiple protocols be used on the same Ethernet physical layer?
Theoretically, the answer is always "yes" if the protocol uses layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model. However, there are combinations that are not recommended, and it is best for users to check with the standard authority for the protocol before committing to a particular technology.
Should you use fiber or copper?
Typically, fiber optics are used for backbone with “drop-downs” using copper. Naturally, fiber-optic cable is immune to EMC but more expensive and harder to terminate reliably. Few companies appear to be using fiber-optic cable for other applications apart from those needing to transport data over a long distance. This is more typical in process industries where the sites are larger.

B. – Neutrons carry no charge and have a slightly larger mass than protons. of an element have different number of neutrons but the same number of protons. The is equal to the number of protons plus number of neutrons. C. – Electrons carry a charge equal but opposite to that of protons. An is very small, about 1/1,837th the mass of a .
Atomic Atomic mass of an atom is expressed in atomic mass units (amu) which is approximately 1.66x10-24 grams.
A more conventional way of expressing mass of an atom is Atomic . Atomic weight is the weight in grams of one of an element, expressed as g/mol. A mole a unit of counting, much like a “dozen”, where a mole is represented by Avogadro’s number (6.02x1023). One mole of an element is equal to its atomic mass number but in grams instead of amu.
Bohr’s Model A. In 1913, created an atomic model based on the work of Ernest Rutheford and Max . This model was of the structure of the atom, where the nucleus consisted of a central proton around which an electron traveled in a circular orbit. The electrons are only capable of having discrete called quanta. B. Atomic Emission Spectra - At room , most are at a . Electrons can be excited to higher levels by hear or other energy, resulting in an of the atoms. Electrons, when excited, will quickly return to the ground state, preferring low energy. When returning to ground state, the energy lost will be released as , who’s energy can be calculated:
E=hc/_ E is energy, h is Planck’s constant (6.626x10-34 Js), c is the velocity of (3.00x108 m/s) and _ is the of the .
Each element can have its electrons excited to different distinct energy levels, giving each element a unique atomic emission (like a fingerprint). Numbers Bohr’s model assumed that electrons follow a circular orbit at a fixed from the nucleus. However, Bohr’s model did not take into consideration of the repulsion between multiple electrons. Using the quantum model, electrons are described as being in regions in space called orbitals, rather than circular orbits. Orbitals show the of finding an electron in the atom. The reason why we now use probability is because pinpointing the exact location of an electron is almost impossible as described in Heisenberg .
A. Principal (n)– Also known as the principal , this number can theoretically take on any positive integer value. The larger the value of n, the higher the energy and the radius of the electron’s path. The maximum number of electrons in energy level n is 2n2. B. (l) – Also known as the angular , refers to the subshells or sublevels that occur in the principal energy level. For any given energy level n, it can have n-1 sublevels, values being from 0 to n-1. The first four subshells l= 0, 1, 2, and 3 are known as the s, p, d andf subshells. The maximum number of electrons in each subshell is 4l+2. C. (ml)– an orbital is a specific region within a subshell that contain no more than two electrons. Each subshell can contain multiple orbitals, but the magnetic quantum number specifies which orbital an electron is likely to be found. Ml can be integers between l and –l, including 0. Thus, in subshell s, there is only one orbital (value 0), where subshell p has 3 orbitals (-1, 0, +1) D. Quantum Number (ms) – Since each orbital can only have 2 electrons, electrons in each orbital have spin orientations either –1/2 or +1/2. Electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins. Electrons in different orbitals with the same spin are said to have parallel spins. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Batman v Superman was trashed by critics. Fans think it’s because Marvel paid them.
As Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice turns the corner into its second weekend, it faces the question of how much more money it can make. In spite of some pretty terrible reviews, the movie set box office records in its opening weekend — and its record-breaking haul has set up a tantalizing narrative: a clash between fans and critics, with the movie's success serving as an indication that critics don't matter and a sign of fans sticking it to the proverbial man. While that's entertaining, that storyline is not based in truth. Popularity has nothing to do with quality. There are plenty of movies, like Michael Bay's Transformers franchise, that haul in mountains of money but are still pretty awful. I don't think Batman v Superman is Michael Bay-level bad, nor do I think the piles of money it's earned so far necessarily prove critics were wrong about its many plot holes, the flaws in its editing, or director Zack Snyder's shortcomings. But what's fascinated me about the collective response to Batman v Superman is how deeply invested fans have become in its success — and just how far fans will go to convince themselves that critics have unfairly targeted their movie for doom. Batman v Superman is a DC Comics/Warner Bros. property, and the best conspiracy theory currently floating around online is that film critics were paid by Marvel, the biggest company in comics, to trash the movie. If you look at the comments accompanying certain reviews or survey fans' posts about Batman v Superman on social media, you'll find many fans who wholeheartedly believe this is the case. BuzzFeed and the Daily Dot have both compiled great collections of these responses. What's the going rate for a bad review? What, exactly, does Marvel stand to gain from Batman v Superman getting a poor review? Doesn't Marvel have anything better to do? The conspiracy theorists don't answer any of these questions. The strangest element of their argument is that Marvel could somehow benefit from a Warner Bros. movie getting a bad review. So what if people didn't like Batman v Superman — why would that stop people from going to see Marvel's Captain America: Civil War when it comes out in May? Suggesting that one film affects the other is completely incorrect and disconnected from how the movie business works. Plus, there have been several instances where Marvel and Warner Bros. competed with dueling superhero movies — like in 2008, with Iron Man and The Dark Knight, and in 2012, with The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises — and both movies received good reviews and performed well at the box office. Specifically, in 2012 The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises earned the top two domestic grosses of the year. You could even make the argument that a Marvel movie benefits more when Warner Bros. releases a good movie in the same year, because of the success both companies had in 2012. And before the idea of a Marvel bias starts creeping in, just go have a look at the positive critical reviews for DC/Warner Bros. movies like Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Superman Returns. Linking critics to box office figures is inevitable. And, yes, a scathing review could be construed as a critic saying a film isn't worth people's time. That's perhaps why Snyder and the cast of Batman v Superman have been propping up defenses that the movie is a "comic book" or "audience" movie that's made for "fans," as if critics were incapable of understanding it. But thinking about critics and audiences as two mutually exclusive groups shortchanges both, and ultimately cheapens the movie. It perpetuates the idea that superhero movies can't please both fans and critics — something that may have been true at some point in the past. But thanks to works like Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise or The Avengers or Fox's new X-Men reboot trilogy, we know that superhero films are capable of garnering critical praise and appealing to (and cashing in with) fans. And that's the problem with looking at reviews solely as recommendations of whether a film is worthwhile. New York Times critic A.O. Scott wrote a great essay on criticism earlier this year. In it, he makes a point about the great democratization of the internet and how the playing field of cultural and artistic criticism has been leveled, because anyone can write a review of anything and you are under no obligation to listen to anyone because they work at a certain place. He also makes a great point about what cultural criticism is: It is an endless conversation, rather than a series of pronouncements. It is the debate that begins when you walk out of the theater or the museum, either with your friends or in the private chat room of your own head. It’s not me telling you what to think; it’s you and me talking. While critical reviews of Batman v Superman may chastise the movie, they're also debates. Debates about Snyder's filmmaking abilities, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill's acting chops, the lines that Gal Gadot didn't get to say, the weird scenes given to Amy Adams, and the construction of the film's plot and many plot holes. And disagreement isn't unwelcome. "Because we have the ability to recognize and respond to the creativity of others, we are all, at least potentially, critics, too," Scott writes. "This means, above all, that our job is to think." This weekend, people will buy tickets to see Batman v. Superman, and pundits will try to determine whether the movie's poor reviews have affected its box office tally. No doubt some fans will cling to the idea that critics had it out for "their" movie. But writing off all criticism of Batman v Superman shortchanges the creative effort behind the film — by implying that its director, producers, and actors deserve a special kind of treatment, and suggesting that the film doesn't need to appeal to anyone except die-hard comic fans. What many people have failed to realize is that the consequence of simply dismissing the criticism of Batman v Superman is that, rather than drawing any meaningful conclusions, they're blindly liking or hating the movie without any effort to figure out why. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Hypothyroidism during pregnancy more common than thought
new study shows hypothyroidism during pregnancy may be more common that previously thought, thanks to new clinical guidelines for evaluating thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The study revealed hypothyroidism in one in six pregnant women, a 10 percent increase after using a narrower TSH range. The new guideline for normal TSH is now 0.3 to 3.0, narrower than the former guideline of 0.5 to 5.0. In functional medicine we use a range of 1.8 to 3.0. Gestational hypothyroidism poses a number of risks, including miscarriage, hypertension, gestational diabetes, low-birth weight, and risk for lower IQ in the baby.
Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism screening important during pregnancy
This study illustrates the importance of screening for hypothyroidism during pregnancy. Only about a quarter of the more than 500,000 women in the study were tested for TSH, meaning many more may have gone through pregnancy with an undiagnosed thyroid condition. TSH shouldn’t be the only marker ordered. Pregnant women should also test other thyroid markers, such as T4 and T3, as well as TPO and TGB antibodies. The antibody tests determine whether the hypothyroidism stems from an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s, which attacks and destroys thyroid gland tissue. Studies show about 90 percent of hypothyroidism cases in the United States are due to autoimmune Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone medication alone does not effectively manage Hashimoto’s. Instead, appropriate thyroid care involves managing the immune system.
Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism risk to baby’s health
Although it’s always important to manage an autoimmune disease, it’s especially vital during pregnancy. Autoimmune Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism is a sign that the pregnant woman’s immune system is out of balance. It also signals a high probability of intestinal permeability, or leaky gut (which allows undigested foods and pathogens to escape into the bloodstream, where they trigger an immune reaction). People with Hashimoto’s commonly have food intolerances, particularly to gluten, and high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. These are health conditions that can affect the fetus. Studies show that infants born to mothers with high cortisol are at higher risk of developing allergies. An intolerance to gluten or other foods can be passed on to the infant, as can immune imbalances, which can raise the risk of such disorders as asthma, eczema, and allergies. Hypothyroidism is a red flag that the body is out of balance and that the health of the child may be compromised.
Addressing Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism during pregnancy
It’s very important to screen for hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s during pregnancy. It’s even better to screen for it before conception. If lab tests identify hypothyroidism, optimal health of the mother and the baby depends on restoring thyroid activity. While thyroid hormones may be necessary, a pregnant woman also should address the underlying cause of the hypothyroidism. We can do this through lab testing, an autoimmune diet, and nutritional support appropriate for pregnancy. Detecting hypothyroidism early can help ensure a healthier pregnancy, a healthier child, a reduced risk of postpartum depression, and more energy for the mother during the demanding post-partum period.]]> | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

bhakra-nangal project-correct info
Bhakra Dam Bhakra Dam is a concrete gravity dam across the Sutlej River, near the border between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in northern India. This dam is situated in the village "Bhakra" and is Asia's biggest dam. It is 225.55 m (740 ft) high above the deepest foundation. The length of the dam (the road above it) is 518.25, and 304.84 m broad. Its huge reservoir known as the "Gobind Sagar", stores up to 9340 million cu m, of water enough to drain the whole of the Chandigarh, parts of Haryana, Punjab and Delhi. In terms of storage of water, it is the second largest dam in India, first being Indira Sagar dam in Madhya Pradesh with capacity of 12.22 billion cum. Described as 'New Temple of Resurgent India’ by Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, Bhakra Nangal Dam is situated across the river Sutlej and is situated in the region of Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh. Bhakra Nangal Dam is one of the largest dams in India and highest gravity dam in the world. Nestling between the border of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, amidst the lush green forests, the dam gives a fantastic view of the region and attracts huge number of tourists from all over the India. Bhakra Nangal Dam is a combination of Bhakra dam and Nangal dam. Bhakra dam is 13 km upstream from Nangal city and Nangal just vice versa. The dam, which is straight gravity dam and is 740 feet high from its deepest foundation stuns the visitor with its height. The 90 km long reservoir created by the Bhakra Nangal Dam is spread over an area of 168.35 sq km. Statistics It is the largest dam in India • Type of Dam: Concrete Straight Gravity • Height: 740 ft (225.55 m) • Height (above river bed): 550 ft (170 m) • Length at top: 1,700 ft (520 m) • Width at top: 30 ft (9.1 m) • Length at bottom: 325 ft (99 m) • Width at base: 625 ft (191 m) • Elevation at top of dam: 1700 ft (above sea level) • Steel used: 100000 tons Usage The dam was part of the larger multipurpose Bhakra Nangal Project whose aims were to prevent floods in the Sutlej-Beas river valley, to provide irrigation to adjoining states and to provide hydro-electricity. It also became a tourist spot for the tourists during later years because of it huge size and uniqueness. [edit] Irrigation The dam was constructed with an aim to provide irrigation to the Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Another big reason behind the construction of the dam was to prevent damage due to monsoon floods. The dam provides irrigation to 10 million acres (40,000 km²) of fields in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan. [edit] Electricity Production Bhakra Nangal dam houses hydroelectric power generators, which are situated on both the sides of the dam. Nangal hydel Channel and Anandpur Sahib Channel are used for power generation and irrigation purposes. It also has 4 flood gates which are fully functional during the period of floods and also has 2 power- stations situated on the either sides of the dam, which receives water through huge pipes which are directly connected from the dam's reservoir to each power- plant. Each of the power plants comprise of 5 generators, and a power station. Two power houses with a total capacity of 1000 MW flank the dam, on either side of the river. A smaller subsidiary dam, called the Nangal Dam is located a little downriver from the Bhakra Dam. [edit] Tourist Destination and Attraction Being the biggest dam in India, a large number of tourists visit its vast water reservoir and attractive location. To facilitate tourism in this part of Himachal Pradesh, the travel & tourism department of the state has provided rest houses located near the Bhakra Nangal dam. Apart from the human generated dam, there is a natural fall, which is also a source of hydro-electricity generated by the Ganguwal and Kotla power plant. The area surrounding the dam has popular picnic spots. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:19, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

From 0 to Kubernetes – Step 8, are you ready, player one?
Here’s another kubernetes project for my series of posts. The main point here is to show how to get a local folder from your filesystem into a container, similar to running docker with -v /path:/target.
Of course I could just set up some silly demonstration, and just show from a shell inside the container that the folder is mounted, but where’s the fun in that?
Instead, we’re going to play a game.
First, a bit of history. Back in the olden (golden) days of computer gaming, when a really awesome game could still be written by one guy in weeks (unlike today where whole production crews labor months just to shoot all the videos for the cutscenes), there was “Adventure”. Adventure was the very first text adventure game, where you would enter simple one- or two-word commands (“enter house”, “take sword”, “kill orcs”), and then you would read (and picture in your mind), the next scene.
In 1980, Infocom released “Zork I”, a commercial game based around Adventure, where you could enter whole sentences instead of just one or two words.
Fast-forward to today: Infocom is long gone, and any legal successor is also gone, which makes all the infocom games “Abandonware” – they are still copyright protected but there is NO ONE who has a legal handle to pursue the copyright…
Anyway, in the linux world there is an open source interpreter for the datafiles used by these games, which means if you happen to still have a copy of Zork I (which I actually do – on real, honest to god 5.25″ floppy disk), you can copy the datafile on your linux computer and play the game. That interpreter is called “frotz”, available here.
Also available “out there” is a piece of python code called “z5bot” which lets you run a telegram bot that people can talk to, to play games for frotz. This piece of code is here.
My plan is to run this bot in a container on my K3s.
First, I need to create a docker image for the both software to run in. Long things short: done that, Dockerfile is here, the image is available on docker hub.
To run this, you have to do several things:
1. create a telegram bot by opening telegram, and talk to the “botfather” account. The botfather will take you through all the steps necessary to create your bot, and in the end will provide you with the telegram api key that you have to put in the configuration file for z5bot.
2. Next is to find a game file – there’s a big online archive, browse and look at details, you can use any file that in the details talks about a “Z Machine Interpreter”. In this demonstration here I’ll be using the original Adventure in its Z-Code version, available here.
3. To run z5bot from my docker image in Kubernetes we need to create two folders on the host that will actually run the container – if you have more than one worker you’ll have to work with other storage options, NFS comes to mind – you want to have an easy way to access at least the stories folder.
One folder is for the story files and the configuration, the other is for savegames, and has to be world writable.
4. Put your story file in the first of the two folders, and create a configuration file for your z5bot in there as well. The filename has to be config.json, the content is based on the sample file which you can find here. The telegram api key that you received in step 1 goes in line 2 of the file, the format for the list of installed games is self explanatory.
5. Create a deployment file with your local folders as storage options. My deployment file is here. The parts dealing with storage are lines 9 to 61, and lines 80 to the end.
Let’s Play: Start a telegram session with your bot, type /start and then /select to see all available games. For any “press enter to continue” prompts you can use /return.
It works:
By the way, advent is also available on the MVS emulator from this post:

Before HULL and MARCUS, Circuit Judges, and TOTENBERG, District Judge.
Honorable Amy Totenberg, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
Frank Kruse, the personal representative of the estate of Jacob Jordan, appeals the summary judgment against his second amended complaint that Jimmie L. Williams, a nurse at the Baldwin County' Corrections Center, was deliberately indifferent to Jordan’s serious medical need in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, see 42 U.S.C. § 1988, and committed medical malpractice that caused Jordan’s wrongful death, in violation of state law. The district court ruled that Williams was entitled to qualified immunity from Kruse’s federal § 1983 claim and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. After review of the parties’ briefs and the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we affirm.
I. BACKGROUND
A. Jordan’s Medical Condition and Detainment
Jordan was diagnosed with Addison’s disease when he was approximately 17 years old. Addison’s disease causes a sufferer’s adrenal glands to produce insufficient cortisol, which is a substance that helps the body regulate sodium and potassium levels, blood sugar, and blood pressure.
In 2010, Jordan was arrested and taken to the Mobile County Metro Jail for failing to comply with a condition of his release after pleading guilty to second degree possession of marijuana and two hunting offenses. On June 25, 2010, Jordan became weak and nauseated and went to the jail’s medical unit, where he received liquids throughout the evening. The next day, Jordan reported feeling better and returned to his cell. Later that day, the medical staff at Mobile County Metro drew a sample of Jordan’s blood for testing. The test results, which were returned to Mobile County Metro on July 2, 2010, revealed that Jordan had dangerously low levels of sodium and high levels of potassium.
On July 2, 2010, Jordan was transferred to the Baldwin County Corrections Center (“BCCC”) without any medical records from Mobile County Metro. The medical staff at BCCC did not learn of Jordan’s critical test results until after his death. However, Jordan’s intake report, prepared on July 2, stated that he “TAKE[S] MEDS FOR ADDISON’S DISEASE” and “HAS ADDISON’S DISEASE.” On July 7, 2010, Jordan was evaluated by a nurse, who measured his blood pressure (79/48) and heart rate (88 bpm). Jordan told a nurse that he took Prednisone and Flori-nef for his Addison’s disease, but the nurse could not verify his prescriptions at the pharmacies he listed. Jordan consented to release his medical records to BCCC on the same day.
Around 9:00 a.m. on July 8, 2010, nurse Connie Pimperl examined Jordan at his request. Pimperl wrote in Jordan’s medical records that he had low blood pressure. Pimperl’s note reflects that Jordan told Pimperl he was feeling weak, “like [he was] going to pass out,” and that if his condition persisted, he would need to go to the hospital. Jordan stated that he did not “take meds on a reg[ular] basis as long as he [could] eat [and] drink when he needs to.” Pimperl also recorded that Jordan’s blood pressure was 90/51, his heart rate was 109 bpm, and his head was lolling from side to side.. Although Jordan told Pimperl that he was dehydrated, Pim-perl drew blood from Jordan easily, which she interpreted to be a sign that he was not severely dehydrated.
Pimperl then called the medical director of BCCC, Dr. Charles Sherman, who stated that no bloodwork was needed. Dr. Sherman instructed Pimperl to give Jordan some Gatorade “for sodium replacement” and to administer 40 milligrams of Prednisone for three days, and thereafter, doses of 20 milligrams and then eventually 10 milligrams daily. Around 9:30 a.m., Pimperl gave Jordan a 40-milligram Pred-nisone pill as directed. Jordan also drank four glasses of Gatorade and returned to his cell with a gallon of Gatorade. At this time, Pimperl thought Jordan was in stable condition because his blood pressure had improved from the day before, his heart rate did not exceed 120 bpm, he “was not passing out in front of [her]”, and he had not vomited.
At Pimperl’s request, another nurse on the same shift contacted Jordan’s mother to complete Jordan’s medical history. According to Jordan’s mother, Jordan had not been to a doctor in about four years and managed his Addison’s disease with diet and fluids. The nurse recorded that Jordan had not taken his medication for a “long time”; had filled his prescriptions for Florinef and Prednisone at a local Winn Dixie store; and had been treated by two local physicians.
B. Williams’s Conduct and Jordan’s Death
Defendant Williams, a licensed practical nurse, arrived around 2:00 p.m. on July 8, 2010, to begin her shift at BCCC. Jordan’s medical records contain handwritten notes made by Williams at 4:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 9:45 p.m. on July 8.
At 4:00 p.m. (1600 hours), BCCC officers called a “code blue” to request medical assistance at Jordan’s cell. Williams responded to the request and discovered Jordan lying supine on the floor with his hand under his head and his right leg elevated. Jordan said that he was sick and had “passed out.” Jordan asked to go to the hospital and told Williams, “[w]hen I was at Metro they sent me to the hospital and gave me IV fluids” and “I feel worse now than then.” Jordan also said that he had not taken his medication in two or three months. Jordan’s skin was warm and dry, his blood pressure was 98/72, his heart rate was 85 bpm, and his oxygen saturation was 100 percent. Jordan had been told to drink Gatorade and had drunk half of a Gatorade jug by 4:00 p.m. Williams arranged for Jordan to be moved from his cell block to the medical block and placed on general watch.
According to Williams’s note at 4:30 p.m. (1630 hours), Williams was informed that Jordan’s mother had called the medical unit and told staff that “[Jordan’s] going to pass out!” and to “docket this also!” Jordan saw his mother at visitation earlier that day. According to BCCC officers, Jordan “had ambulated fine to visitation and back to [the] cell block,” and Jordan’s mother said during visitation that Jordan “need[ed] to go to the hospital.”
Around 6:30 p.m. (1830 hours), an officer in the medical block called Williams and reported that Jordan was vomiting. Williams noted that Jordan was “[m]oan-ing and [said he] needed to go [to] the hospital!!” At this time, Williams called Dr. Sherman and Dr. Sherman verbally instructed Williams to give Jordan 25 milligrams of Phenergan (a sedative that alleviates nausea) and clear liquids such as chicken broth. Williams went to the medical block and found Jordan lying on a mat on the floor. Williams administered the Phenergan to Jordan intramuscularly for his nausea and vomiting and gave him two cups of warm broth. Jordan continued to complain about having “never felt this bad” and being “dehydrated.” Williams “[e]ncouraged [Jordan] to sip liquids only”; Jordan “[t]olerated [the injection of Phen-ergan] well”; and Jordan took a “[f]ew sips of broth.” The note also states that “[e]ncouragement [was] given!” by Williams.
Williams’s notes reflect that after 6:30 p.m., she twice made calls to the officers in the medical block to check on Jordan, and she personally went to the medical block to check on Jordan once during the night. Williams made the following entries at 7:30 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 9:45 p.m.:
1930 Per officer inmate asleep. Chest rising and falling. No complaints. J Williams LPN
2000 Per officer inmate lying on mat watching TV. J Williams LPN 2145 Went to M [Block]. Inmate lying in floor on mat. Pulled blanket up and closed his eyes. Hopefully going .back to sleep. No further complaints of [nausea and vomiting] voiced. J Williams LPN
At 1:30 a.m. on July 9, 2010, a coroner for Baldwin County pronounced Jordan dead. A state pathologist recorded Addison’s disease as the cause of Jordan’s death.
An investigation ensued. The Alabama Bureau of Investigation (“Bureau”) prepared a summary of its findings to which it attached a statement given by Jemal Demetrius Walker, Jordan’s cellmate in the medical block. In his 2010 statement, Walker said “JORDAN came in the cell ... about 4:45 P.M1”, after which he “vomited and WALKER helped JORDAN to the restroom on several occasions” because “JORDAN was not able to move around or walk at all without being helped.” “JORDAN told WALKER he was not going to make it[,]” but “WALKER helped JORDAN to drink some of his chicken broth and Gatorade.” “[A]round 8:00 or 9:00 P.M.,” a nurse “gave JORDAN a shot,” and “JORDAN told WALKER again he was not going to make it through the night.” “Around 11:00 P.M., WALKER helped JORDAN get situated on his mat on the floor then WALKER got back in his bunk.” “A few minutes passed when JORDAN looked up at WALKER, smiled, took two deep breaths, closed his eyes and bowed his head.” ‘WALKER ... touched [JORDAN] and could feel he was warm” and “asked him if he was alright,” but he “did not answer.” “After about five minutes WALKER went back over to JORDAN and [discovered that he] was cold to the touch, had no pulse and his lips were purple,” at which time “WALKER then notified corrections officers.... ”
C. District Court Proceedings
Kruse was appointed as Jordan’s representative and filed a second amended complaint on his behalf against Williams; Pim-perl; Dr. Sherman; the Baldwin County Commission; Dale Byrne, the Warden of BCCC; and several BCCC employees (Carla Wasdin, Kenneth May, Rocky Lee Langham, Gregory E. Pinkard, Steve R. Drinkard, and Edward Scott). The district court dismissed with prejudice the complaints against the Commission, Byrne, Langham, Pinkard, Drinkard, and Scott. Later, Kruse dismissed his complaint against Wasdin.
Dr. Sherman moved to dismiss the complaint, and Williams, Pimperl, and May moved for summary judgment. Kruse declined to file a response opposing Pimperl and May’s motion. The district court deemed abandoned Kruse’s complaints against Pimperl and May and dismissed those two complaints with prejudice, and later dismissed without prejudice the complaint against Dr. Sherman.
Kruse filed a response to Williams’s summary judgment motion and attached several exhibits, including an affidavit prepared by inmate Jemal Walker; the depositions of Jordan’s mother Peggy Jordan, Dr. Sherman, and Williams; and materials prepared by Dr. Lester Silver and Sandra Tilton, two expert witnesses.
In his 2013 affidavit, Walker averred that Jordan “vomited a few times shortly after he” arrived in the medical block around 4:00 p.m. on July 8, 2010. At some point that evening, a nurse (presumably Williams) brought Jordan “some chicken broth and a tray of food.” Although Jordan complained that “he was very sick and needed to go to the hospital,” the nurse said that Jordan “could not go without a doctor’s order and the doctor said he did not need to go.” When Jordan asked again to go to the hospital, the nurse asked “what [he was] in [there] for.” After Jordan said “for pot,” the nurse replied, “well, if you hadn’t used pot you could go to the hospital.” According to Walker, after drinking some of the broth, Jordan vomited a couple of times. There is no averment that Walker told anyone that Jordan had vomited after being given the shot and the broth. Specifically, there is no evidence that Williams knew Jordan had vomited after the Phenergan shot.
Walker, however, did help Jordan to the shower to get him clean, and Jordan kept telling Walker that Jordan was “going to die if they did not get him to the hospital.” Walker also averred that “[n]o one came to check on Jordan after the broth was brought in.” But the record shows that Williams called and checked in with officers in the medical block at 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Williams was told by officers at 7:30 p.m. that Jordan was asleep and had no complaints, and at 8:00 p.m. that Jordan was lying on a mat watching television.
In her deposition, Peggy Jordan testified that, on the morning of July 8, 2010, Jordan called her and “could barely talk.” Later that day, Peggy went to visit Jordan at BCCC, where shé observed that Jordan “could barely walk” with shackles on his hands and feet. Jordan claimed to have vomited up a dose of Prednisone right after it was administered that morning. As Peggy left BCCC, she told “the guards ... behind the glass ... [that Jordan] needed a wheelchair ... [to] make it back to his cell.”
When Peggy arrived home “[b]etween four and five,” she “called the jail again to the medical unit.” In response to being told that her son had received a dose of Prednisone, Peggy said that Jordan had “thr[own] it back up” and that Prednisone “cannot be given on an empty stomach.” Peggy declared that “they needed to get [Jordan] to the hospital immediately or he was going to die,” to which a nurse responded that “they couldn’t send [Jordan] ... to the hospital without a doctor’s order” and she would “call the doctor.”
Around 8:30 p.m., Peggy called BCCC again and spoke to a nurse, who told Peggy that Jordan had passed out on the walk back to his cell from visitation. The nurse stated that Jordan had received “some Phenergan for the vomiting and a cup of chicken broth ... [that] the doctor ordered” and that Jordan “didn’t need to go to the hospital.” Peggy pleaded for “somebody ... to get [Jordan] to the hospital because he [was] going to die” otherwise.
In his deposition, Dr. Sherman testified that a person having an “Addisonian crisis” constitutes a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. -Dr. Sherman knew that Jordan had Addison’s disease and thought he was mildly dehydrated, but because Jordan’s “blood pressure wasn’t super low[, and] [h]e wasn’t short of breathf,] ... diaphoretic[,] ... having severe abdominal pain, [or] pale,” Dr. Sherman did not think Jordan was experiencing an Addisonian crisis at the time Williams called him around 6:30 p.m. During that phone call, Williams did not tell Dr. Sherman about Jordan’s earlier episode at Mobile County Metro Jail, when he had received TV fluids at a hospital, or that Jordan reportedly “felt worse now than then.” Williams told Dr. Sherman that Jordan’s mother had visited and told someone at BCCC that Jordan was going to pass out and needed to go to the hospital. According to Dr. Sherman, Williams also stated that Jordan and his mother were “putting on” his symptoms, that Jordan “really wasn’t ill,” and “[Williams] didn’t think there was anything to that.”
In her deposition, Williams testified as to what occurred on July 8, 2010. When Williams responded to the “code blue” around 4:00 p.m., she found Jordan lying on the floor. This was the first time Williams had direct contact with Jordan. Jordan told Williams he passed out and needed to go to the hospital. Although the summary prepared by the Bureau stated that Jordan had “a headache ... [and] could not see very well” at 4:00 p.m., Jordan did not report those symptoms to Williams. After taking and recording Jordan’s vital signs, Williams moved Jordan to the medical block “[s]o he could better be observed.” According to Williams, Jordan walked to the medical block without assistance, where he was placed on a mat on the floor in case he fainted again.
After examining Jordan around 4:00 p.m., Williams read Jordan’s medical records, including the note written by Pimperl that morning stating that Jordan had low blood pressure and had told Pimperl he was “real weak.” Thus, Williams knew that Jordan had Addison’s disease, was given Prednisone and Gatorade, was on the sick list the day before, was not taking his medication, and told Pimperl that he was dehydrated. However, no one told Williams that Jordan had vomited at any time that afternoon before 6:30 p.m., and Williams never spoke to Peggy about her son.
Williams testified that she did not observe any signs between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to suggest that Jordan was having a medical emergency and needed to go to the hospital. Williams next saw Jordan around 6:30- p.m., after a BCCC officer informed her that Jordan was vomiting. Williams’s “assessment of [Jordan] at the time that [she] saw him [was that] he did seem to be improving,” and she did not know what caused him to vomit. Williams opined, based on her training and experience, that the morning dose of Prednisone given by Pimperl would have had time to take effect before Jordan vomited. Williams called Dr. Sherman around 6:80 p.m. for further instructions and told him that Jordan had vomited. Williams testified that she did not remember telling Dr. Sherman during this phone call that Jordan and his mother were “putting on” or faking his symptoms.
Williams never spoke to Jordan after giving him the Phenergan shot and chicken broth prescribed by Dr. Sherman. Jordan never told Williams that he was not going to make it through the night, and none of the inmates repeated any comments to that effect to Williams or reported to any prison official that Jordan had vomited after 6:30 p.m. Williams also testified that she could refer inmates to a hospital on her own, but she did not think Jordan was that ill:
Q Did you ever feel like you were under any kind of limitation in the number of inmates that you could refer either to an emergency room or to Dr. Sherman’s office?
A No, sir, never.
A Yes, sir.
Q And could you do that without calling Dr. Sherman, in other' words, could you have a patient you’ve assessed and for whatever reason you think they need to be seen by a doctor, did you have the authority to send them on and get that done?
A Yes, sir.
Q The same thing for the emergency room, if you felt like a patient, an inmate, needed to go to the emergency room, did you have the authority to give that instruction and that be done?
A Yes, sir.
Q Had there been times in the past when you had referred patients to the emergency room or called an ambulance?
A Yes, sir. May I add that we also let Dr. Sherman know if we do. that.
Q That’s a good point. But I just want to make sure we are clear, though. You don’t have to get his permission on the front end to issue that instruction, correct?
A That’s correct.
Q And, again, just to be clear, if you had wanted to, you could have had him taken to the hospital at that point in time, couldn’t you?
A If I had deemed it necessary at that time.
Lester S. Silver, M.D., opined in his expert affidavit that Jordan’s medical records and the officials’ testimony revealed that Jordan “would probably have survived” had he been taken to the hospital on the evening of July 8, 2010, because the hospital would have administered IV fluids to quickly correct the electrolyte abnormalities that led to Jordan’s death.
Sandra Tilton, a nursing expert, testified that Williams “did not follow the standards of care when she assessed Mr. Jordan.” Tilton testified that, had Jordan “been monitored correctly and assessed for his condition before and after, with more vital signs and questions [to him], [Williams] may have arranged to have him taken to the emergency room.” Tilton also testified that Dr. Sherman could have decided to send Jordan to the hospital if Williams “had given him all the information that she received from [Jordan]” and that the common practice in prison medicine is “when in doubt, send them out.”
On December 3, 2018, the district court entered summary judgment in favor of Williams, ruling that Williams was entitled to qualified immunity because she did not act with deliberate indifference to Jordan’s serious medical need. Williams “obtain[ed] and implemented] a doctor’s prescribed course of treatment”; she “was not deliberately indifferent simply by failing to heed the pleas of Jordan and his mother to send Jordan to the hospital” when that treatment was not prescribed by Dr. Sherman; and Williams’s adherence to the treatment prescribed in the light of her monitoring of Jordan’s symptoms did not “objectively constitute [] conduct exceeding gross negligence or ... [suggest that she made] a choice to take an easier but less efficacious course of treatment.”
The district court determined that the testimony from Kruse’s expert witness, that Williams failed to adequately assess Jordan or defer to the “common ethos in prison medicine” to send a patient to a hospital, “plaee[d] Williams’s actions on the level of negligence and [were] insufficient to support a claim of deliberate indifference.” Likening the situation to that in Adams v. Poag, 61 F.3d 1537 (11th Cir.1995), the “claim against Nurse Williams ‘[could] be reduced to the assertion thát she failed to recognize and treat Jordan’s progressively deteriorating condition,’ and nothing in the record indicate[d] that this failure [rose] above ‘a colorable claim of medical malpractice.’ Id. at 1548.” (alteration omitted).
Kruse timely appealed.
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW
We review de novo a summary judgment based on qualified immunity. Gilmore v. Hodges, 738 F.3d 266, 272 (11th Cir.2013). Summary judgment is appropriate when there exists no genuine factual dispute and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). To make that determination, we view the evidence and draw all reasonable inferences from that evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Gilmore, 738 F.3d at 272.
III. DISCUSSION
Kruse contends that Williams acted with deliberate indifference to Jordan’s serious medical need, namely the complications arising from his Addison’s disease. Kruse argues that, in granting Williams summary judgment, the district court improperly made credibility choices and “ignored or misstated evidence that [was] favorable to” Jordan. According to Kruse, Williams’s statement to Jordan that “if you hadn’t used pot you could go to the hospital” reveals an “attitude” of deliberate indifference that strips her of her right to be immune from liability for Jordan’s wrongful death.
A. Qualified Immunity
Under the doctrine of qualified immunity, a government official acting within her discretionary authority is immune from civil lawsuits unless her conduct violates a statutory or constitutional right that was clearly established at the time the alleged violation occurred. Id. “A government actor can be stripped of qualified immunity only when all reasonable government actors in the defendant’s place would know that the challenged discretionary conduct violates federal law.” Adams, 61 F.3d at 1543. The reasonableness of the defendant’s actions are evaluated based on the law established in earlier court decisions and contemporary medical standards, Howell v. Evans, 922 F.2d 712, 719 (11th Cir.1991), and in the light of “the information possessed by the official at the time the conduct occurred,” Lancaster v. Monroe Cnty., Ala., 116 F.3d 1419, 1424 (11th Cir.1997) (quotation omitted). Because “[t]he objective legal reasonableness of the government actor’s conduct is the touchstone of the inquiry into whether qualified immunity is applicable,” that doctrine insulates from liability “all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law.” Adams, 61 F.3d at 1543 (alteration omitted).
B. Deliberate Indifference to Serious Medical Needs
A prisoner’s complaint about the failure to provide adequate medical care stems from his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104-05, 97 S.Ct. 285, 290-91, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976). That right is violated when a prison official subjects an inmate to “acts or omissions sufficiently harmful to evidence deliberate indifference to serious medical needs.” Id. at 106, 97 S.Ct. at 292. Although the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, not the Eighth Amendment, governs pretrial detainees like Jordan, identical standards govern claims brought under both constitutional provisions. Goebert v. Lee Cnty., 510 F.3d 1312, 1326 (11th Cir.2007).
To prove deliberate indifference, a plaintiff must first satisfy the objective component by showing that he had a serious medical need. Id. at 1326. Second, the plaintiff must satisfy the subjective component by showing that the prison official acted with deliberate indifference to his serious medical need. Id. The subjective component of the deliberate-indifference test requires the plaintiff to prove three things: “(1) subjective knowledge of a risk of serious harm; (2) disregard of that risk; (3) by conduct that is more than gross negligence.” Id. at 1326-27 (quotation and alteration omitted). Whether an official has subjective knowledge of a risk of serious harm and whether she disregarded that risk are questions of fact that can be demonstrated in the usual ways, including inference from circumstantial evidence. Id. at 1327. Third, the plaintiff must show that the official’s wrongful conduct caused the constitutional harm. Id.
As to the subjective component, a prison official acts with deliberate indifference if she “knows of and disregards an excessive risk to inmate health or safety.” Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 1979, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994). The plaintiff must prove that the defendant “actually knew” of the risk — “[pjroof that the defendant should have perceived the risk, but did not, is insufficient.” Campbell v. Sikes, 169 F.3d 1353, 1364 (11th Cir.1999). The official must act with “obduracy and wantonness, not inadvertence or error in good faith.” Adams, 61 F.3d at 1543 (quoting Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 319, 106 S.Ct. 1078, 1084, 89 L.Ed.2d 251 (1986)). Additionally, an official who actually knew of a substantial risk to the inmate’s health may be shielded from liability so long as she “responded reasonably to the risk, even if the harm ultimately was not averted.” Farmer, 511 U.S. at 844, 114 S.Ct. at 1982-83.
C. Williams Was Not Deliberately Indifferent
Williams “does not dispute that Jordan objectively had a serious medical need," so our inquiry focuses on the subjective component — whether Williams acted with deliberate indifference to Jordan’s serious medical need in failing to send Jordan to a hospital on July 8, 2010. We conclude that Kruse failed to demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact as to the subjective component of the deliberate-indifference test.
Undisputed evidence establishes that Williams responded to Jordan’s requests for medical care for his Addison’s disease. See Adams, 61 F.3d at 1546 (“Estelle requires ... knowledge of necessary treatment coupled with a refusal to treat properly or a delay in such treatment.” (quotation omitted)). Williams’s first interaction with Jordan occurred around 4:00 p.m. on July 8, 2010, when she responded to the “code blue” request for medical assistance. At that time, when Jordan complained that he had passed out, ■ Williams assessed Jordan’s vital signs, moved him to the medical block where “he could better be observed,” and positioned him on the floor in the event he had another fainting episode.
Based on Jordan’s ability to walk to the medical block unassisted, his consumption of Gatorade to replenish his electrolytes, and the lack of any other symptoms to suggest his condition was critical, Williams made the medical determination that Jordan did not require additional treatment at a hospital. Williams considered that Pimperl had given Jordan a dose of Pred-nisone several hours earlier, and that treatment apparently had improved his condition. Even if we accept as true the testimony from Jordan’s mother that Jordan vomited after receiving his morning dose of Prednisone, undisputed evidence establishes that this information was not communicated to Williams.
When Jordan vomited at 6:30 p.m. after being taken to the medical block, Williams provided more extensive medical treatment. Williams consulted with Dr. Sherman concerning Jordan’s condition and informed Dr. Sherman that Jordan had vomited. Williams then implemented the course of treatment that Dr. Sherman recommended, which did not include sending Jordan to the hospital. Because Jordan was not exhibiting any signs of an Addiso-nian crisis requiring an emergency hospital visit, Dr. Sherman prescribed a dose of Phenergan and clear liquids. Williams thought that Jordan responded to that course of treatment; his medical notes reflect that he “[tjolerated [the medication] well” and took a “[f|ew , sips of broth.” There is no record evidence that Williams was told by Walker or anyone else that Jordan had vomited after 6:30 p.m.
Importantly too, undisputed evidence establishes that Williams checked on Jordan at least twice after giving him the chicken broth and Phenergan shot prescribed by Dr. Sherman. Jordan’s medical notes indicate that officers in the medical block advised Williams about Jordan’s condition at 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and that Williams personally went to check on Jordan around 9:45 p.m., at which time Jordan appeared to be at rest and going to sleep. The record shows that Williams received no indication that Jordan’s condition had deteriorated after she last assessed him around 6:30 p'.m.
We are not persuaded by Kruse’s arguments that Williams was deliberately indifferent in her treatment of Jordan. Kruse argues that Williams’s remark to Jordan that “if he hadn’t used pot [he] could go to the hospital” indicates that Williams “acted with an attitude of ‘deliberate indifference,’ ” but we disagree. Williams’s statement might be reasonably construed to mean that, had Jordan not been convicted of a marijuana offense, he would not be incarcerated and could go to the hospital at will. Kruse argues that Williams’s statement could also be interpreted as meaning Williams was not going to send Jordan to the hospital simply because he had used marijuana in the past. .In any event, even assuming the latter construction is reasonable, Williams’s one verbal statement is not considered in isolation but must be viewed together with her objective conduct, which included checking Jordan’s vital signs in response to the “code blue,” getting Jordan moved over to the medical block so he could be better observed, calling Dr. Sherman to tell him that Jordan was vomiting, going to Jordan’s cell and administering the medical treatment prescribed by Dr. Sherman, and calling officers in the medical block to check on Jordan at least twice in the four-hour period after administering the prescribed treatment. We conclude that, as a whole, Williams did not exhibit deliberate indifference to Jordan’s serious medical need.
As the district court aptly pointed out, this is not a typical case of deliberate indifference. In most cases, the claim of deliberate indifference is against an official who knows that an inmate is in serious need of medical care but fails or refuses to obtain any medical treatment for the inmate. Farrow v. West, 320 F.3d 1235, 1246 (11th Cir.2003) (quoting Lancaster, 116 F.3d at 1425). But that is not this case — here, Williams did obtain medical treatment for Jordan by consulting with Dr. Sherman and administering his prescribed treatment of Phenergan and clear fluids. This Court has also recognized that, even if medical care “is ultimately provided,” an official can act with deliberate indifference by unreasonably delaying the treatment of serious medical needs, especially if the delay is for non-medical reasons. Id. But, as the district court noted, that is not this case either. Kruse does not argue that the actual medical care that was provided to Jordan was unreasonably delayed.
Rather, Kruse’s claim concerns the inadequacy of the type of medical care provided, rather than any delay in providing it. Although “courts hesitate to find an Eighth Amendment violation” when an inmate “has received medical care,” this Court has cautioned that such hesitation “does not mean ... that the course of ... treatment of a prison inmate’s medical ... problems can never manifest” deliberate indifference. Waldrop v. Evans, 871 F.2d 1030, 1035 (11th Cir.1989). Indeed, deliberate indifference may be established by showing that the medical care received was so grossly inadequate to constitute— or at least create a material issue regarding — deliberate indifference. See id.; Carswell v. Bay Cnty., 854 F.2d 454, 457 (11th Cir.1988); see also Harris v. Thigpen, 941 F.2d 1495, 1505 (11th Cir.1991) (noting that medical treatment rises to the level of a constitutional violation only when it is “so grossly incompetent, inadequate, or excessive as to shock the conscience or to be intolerable to fundamental fairness” (quotation omitted)).
And the deliberate indifference inquiry is particularly fact-intensive. During the few hours that Jordan was under Williams’s care on July 8, 2010, she promptly treated all of the symptoms of which she was made aware. Given the short time frame of Williams’s involvement in Jordan’s care, her monitoring of Jordan for approximately six hours, her consulting with Dr. Sherman, and her administration of Phenergan and fluids, the record does not create a material factual issue as to deliberate indifference. Moreover, the record indicates that Jordan did not appear to be rapidly deteriorating. Although he had vomited, Dr. Sherman testified that he did not infer from -Jordan’s symptoms that Jordan was experiencing an Addisoni-an crisis.
Indeed, as the district court noted, even Kruse’s experts’ assessments of Williams’s behavior do not rise beyond an accusation of malpractice. Expert witness Sandra Tilton faulted Williams for failing to assess Jordan more thoroughly, but this alleged error does not amount to deliberate indifference. See Howell, 922 F.2d at 719 (“[T]he mere negligent diagnosis or treatment of a patient does not constitute deliberate indifference.”). As the district court also noted, this case is factually similar to Adams, in which a nurse examined a patient on several occasions, consulted with a doctor, and administered the doctor’s prescribed treatment. While the nurse’s diagnoses and quality of care may have been subpar, as Williams’s may have been, they did not rise beyond a “colorable claim of medical malpractice” to deliberate indifference. See Adams, 61 F.3d at 1547.
Kruse relies on Farrow, but that case is materially different. In Farrow, a prison dentist was aware that the plaintiff suffered from painful and bleeding gums and weight loss, prescribed dentures for him, but failed to deliver those dentures for fifteen months. 320 F.3d at 1244. This Court emphasized that “this long delay in treatment” during which the plaintiff “was permitted to suffer [in] pain” raised a material question of fact regarding the dentist’s deliberate indifference. Id. at 1248. Unlike the present case, Farrow involved a year-long period of withheld or delayed treatment, while Williams treated' Jordan immediately but inadequately. Lancaster, another case Kruse points to, is also inap-posite because it involved the withholding of treatment altogether, not the provision of inadequate treatment. Also, the defendants in Lancaster were not medical professionals, nor did they consult with any. See 116 F.3d at 1426-28. In sum, Kruse has failed to show that Williams’s treatment of Jordan was constitutionally deficient.
Because Kruse has not shown that Williams violated Jordan’s constitutional right to due process, we do not discuss whether that right was clearly established at .the time of his death. Although Jordan’s death is undoubtedly tragic, Williams is entitled to qualified immunity. Even if grossly negligent, Williams’s failure to detect that Jordan’s condition necessitated an emergency trip to the hospital is not sufficient to establish a claim of deliberate indifference in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Williams.
AFFIRMED.
. In his affidavit, Walker states that ”[n]o one came to check on Jordan after the broth was brought in.” It is unclear whether Walker is saying nobody came into the cell or no officer even looked in the window to the cell. For purposes of summary judgment, it is undisputed that Williams did at least call the officers twice to check on Jordan. Williams does not maintain that she entered Jordan’s cell when she went to the medical block to check on his status.
. Williams argued, to no avail, for the district court to disregard Walker’s affidavit because it was produced after discovery closed. The district court modified its scheduling order, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(b)(4), and reopened discovery for two weeks to allow Williams to depose Walker and to supplement her reply. Williams declined to depose Walker or to supplement her pleadings.
. In his statement during the investigation, Walker did not state that Jordan vomited again after being given the shot.
. At oral argument, Kruse re-framed his claim as one entailing "no care” whatsoever after 6:30 p.m. However, as noted infra, there is evidence that Williams .at the very least conducted some periodic monitoring of Jordan's medical status.

A Frobenius-Schur theorem for Hopf algebras
Abstract
In this note we prove a generalization of the Frobenius-Schur theorem for finite groups for the case of semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A similar result holds in characteristic p > 2 if the Hopf algebra is also cosemisimple. In fact we show a more general version for any finite-dimensional semisimple algebra with an involution; this more general result (and its proof) may give some new insight into the classical theorem. Let G be a finite group. For h ∈ G, define θm(h) to be the number of solutions of the equation g = h, that is θm(h) = | {g ∈ G | g m = h} |. Because θm(h) is a class function it can be written as

Mary something which might be called by an uglier name. There were, to be sure, sporadic parties at bridge or pinocle at little tables in several of the rooms in the spacious house, but after a time these were certain to end in a row about money or the desire on the part of some of the gamblers to return to the delights of amorous embraces.
Mary tried to feel that she was not a prig. She tried to assure herself that she might herself enjoy such attentions under more favourable circumstances. She tried to explain to herself that she was selective and not an exhibitionist. However that might be, she was obliged to confess that she was thoroughly out of harmony with her present environment.
At any rate, she mused, it's nobody's fault but my own. I should have had sense enough not to come. Anyway I won't be rude. I suppose I can manage to evade that old satyr for another sixteen hours without being silly or screaming for help—the others would only laugh, in any case, if I did that—and tomorrow I'll be back in my room in Harlem, just as poor as ever, but, thank God, a trifle more intelligent. I won't do just this again in a hurry.
She shook off her sombre mood, almost with a conscious movement of her shoulders, determining to think of impersonal matters. After all, she decided, with a kind of voluntary optimism, the view from this window is superb. In a pool below, shad- | WIKI |

Many patients will routinely go to their dentists for a 6 monthly check-up, but not all patients are fully committed to seeing a hygienist as regularly. At FACEmed in Billericay we encourage all our dental patients to take advantage of an appointment with one of our hygienist therapists so they can experience the best we have to offer in dental healthcare and to prevent any oral problems before they become an issue.
What’s The Difference Between A Dentist And A Hygienist?
Your dentist is there to check, diagnose and treat your mouth area and teeth. The dentist will have a full picture of each of their patient’s dental health and their records. Your dentist will be in a position to advise patients if they need more specialised treatment, for example from an orthodontist, hygienist or an implantologist.
The hygienist is specially trained in oral health, dental hygiene and dental therapy. They work to make sure that you have optimum oral health and hygiene preventing any future problems before they arise.
What Does A Dental Hygienist Do?
The hygienist will be able to deep clean your gums and teeth. They will also offer patients education on the best way to keep their teeth and gums healthy. The hygienist has access to special professional tools that they can use to scale and polish your teeth removing plaque, tartar and calculus.
At FACEmed in Essex we put your oral health at the forefront of everything we do. As a result we routinely invest in the latest technology so that we can provide our patients with cutting edge treatments that will improve their oral healthcare. That is why we have invested in Airflow therapy.
What Is Airflow Therapy?
Airflow therapy is a treatment that allows your hygienist to remove plaque, stains and discolouration in a quicker and more effective way than by using traditional dental tools. Airflow therapy uses a combination of water, compressed air and fine powder particles that are administered to the teeth and gums via a high pressure jet.
Airflow therapy allows your hygienist to get into hard to reach places in the mouth to remove dental plaque. It is more comfortable than using traditional tools and leaves you with a brighter, more healthy looking smile.
What Are the Benefits Of Going To A Hygienist?
Many people assume that seeing the dentist is enough, but unfortunately that is not the case. A hygienist works to prevent oral health problems before they become a problem. One of the most common problems we see in dentistry is gum disease. Left unchecked gum disease can lead to bad breath, gum shrinkage and teeth that are either loose or fall out.
Having regular hygienist appointments will mean any concerns can be managed and solved before you get to the stage whereby you need costly dental treatment to rectify the problem.
How Often Should I Visit The Hygienist?
This will depend on the current health of your teeth and gums. Your hygienist will make a thorough assessment of your oral health and let you know how often you should have an appointment. It may be that you need to visit every 6 months, or if you have optimum oral health your hygienist may only need to see you on a yearly basis.
If you haven’t visited a hygienist before we would advise you to make an appointment or your dentist will tell you if you need to make one. For example, if your dentist identifies that you have signs of gum disease they will advise you to see the hygienist to get this issue under control. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

= The Anatomy of Dystopian Literature = The origin of the word "dystopia" can't be pinpointed due to its broad range of semantic use. However, it is believed to have come from the Ancient Greek words δυσ- ("dus", meaning "bad") and τόπος ("tópos", meaning "place"), meaning a "bad place" or "unhappy country." It is known that up until 1844, "dystopia" as a medical term was used to mean "displacement of an organ." In fact, it was English philosopher John Stuart Mill, who first used it as an antonym for "utopia" in the speech he gave to Parliament of England in 1868 to denounce the British government’s Irish land policy. Mill was inspired by Utopia (1516), Sir Thomas More’s satire that depicted a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, free of social class and marked by its ideal living conditions to condemned King Henry VIII's authoritarian rule.
"Dystopia" as portrayed in literature, movies, or other media refers to an imagined state or society where humanity is subjected to suppression, control, and widespread violence, injustice, and poverty. Typically set in a totalitarian or post-apocalyptic world, a dystopian state is often the result of malignant social flaws reaching climax to collapse into a degraded, oppressive, and frightening condition. It is often the unfortunate side effect of society attempting to rearrange its structure around the idealistic qualities of order, equality, justice, and fairness, but taking the implementation of these qualities to an absolute extreme, the effort of creating a perfect society ends up taking on a sinister turn. It is a convention of dystopia to explore the darkest facets of the human mind and its nature instigated by the misuse of scientific advancements as means for control and intimidation to enforce submission and conformity. Dystopian narratives are the reflections of what takes place around us today. A master of dystopian narratives Margaret Atwood once said, “Nothing that I’ve written hasn’t already happened. And nothing that we build doesn’t already exist." Atwood alludes to the fact that dystopian novels, while fiction, can also resoundingly echo our own past, present, and future. At its core, dystopian fiction is a cautionary tale, foretelling the consequential ramifications of unchecked power, unremedied societal problems, or unchecked scientific advancements in the present time.
Common Characteristics
Here are some common characteristics found in dystopian fiction:
* Oppressive Control: A dystopian society is often ruled by a totalitarian government/state, a despot, a powerful elite group, or non-conforming grassroots that control every aspect of people's lives. This control is enforced through intimidation, propaganda, surveillance, or even technology.
* Loss of Freedom: Freedom, privacy, self-expression or self-identity are the forbidden luxuries in the nightmarish societies of dystopian literature. But every dystopian story hinges on hope, on an individual wanting to break free of the oppressive reign and pursuing higher ideals now lost, such as liberty, privacy, and the ability to think for oneself. However, for change to be possible, there needs to be a dynamic force alongside in support of the individual.
* Surveillance: In dystopian societies, citizens are subjected to constant surveillance as a means of intimidation and suppression to effect conformity. Surveillance uses cameras, spies, or even technology that is implanted in people's bodies.
* Propaganda: Propaganda is also a common tool to suppress the masses and make them believe that the ruling entity, whether it be a government, a figure elevated to a divine status, a concept, or even technology, is acting in their best interests.
* Conformity: Individuality is discouraged and often systematically obliterated from dystopian societies. People are expected to dress, think, and behave in the same way.
* Environmental Degradation: Dystopian societies often give haunting portrayals of a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by pollution or an unknown cataclysm that renders the environment inhabitable. Eco-dystopian narratives are not mere fictions, they are allegories imbued with warnings about the real consequences for the Earth's future generations if we continue on our current path.
* Loss of Hope: Dystopian societies can be very depressing places. Reflecting along the sentiment, British author and environmentalist Olivia Laing wrote in a September 2022 column for the Sydney Morning Herald, “Enough with Dystopian stories. We need more hope and less gloom.” In it, she reports feeling “increasingly skeptical about dystopias as a tool for political change,” and observes that “sounding a warning does not necessarily change behavior.” That may well be. But one can argue while most dystopian stories take place in worlds of hopelessness, the citizenry is not convinced or forced to forsake its humanity by those who wield power. The quintessential marks of humanity—individuality, empathy, bravery, and yes, hope for a better world prevails in the end. In fact, hope is the catalyst for all dystopian stories. Without it there is no consequential action, and without consequential action, there is no story.
Themes and Settings
The underlying theme of dystopian fiction is found in the warning it gives about all the ways society can go wrong, and the examples are plenty—The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Good Place, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Maze Runner. In their narratives, the portrayals of dystopian societies are grand as they are grotesque and explore common themes of authority, isolation, conformity, surveillance and degraded humanity. Dystopian stories urge readers to consider the importance of freedom, individuality, and hope that we often take for granted in a likely event where we lose any or all of them. That said, in the dystopian genre, certain tropes and themes abound, including: good against evil, oppressive totalitarian control, the disparities in wealth and power between grassroots and the ruling class, disinformation and surveillance for control, unchecked technological advancement, rebellion, escape and rebirth, and more.
* Good against evil: In dystopias, humanity's capacity for evil is dramatized as seen in The Handmaid’s Tale, which explores the extent humans will go to oppress one another as well as our capacity to survive adversity. In the same vein, The Hunger Games evokes the question, as humans, “What are we capable of?” As illustrated within both works, there always is a tiny flame of hope that cannot be suffocated, however dark and sinister situations get. Another example of dystopia that focuses on good and evil is The Giver. It muses that the experience of humanity is neither good nor evil, but it is the range of emotion. After all, what is happiness without sadness? What is good without evil? John Milton would argue that we cannot know one without knowing the other. These facts of life, like the light and the dark, must operate in tandem to create the dimensionality of human experience, and the meaning found in it.
Dystopian settings are set in the near future and undesirable or frightening communities or societies that have experienced destruction and great suffering. They often feature some aspects of humanity that are worse off than today and may include:
* Oppressive totalitarian control: Totalitarianism is defined by Webster as “centralized control by an autocratic authority” and “the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority.” In totalitarian dystopias, liberty is eradicated by an "omniscient" power. Citizens are robbed of their freedom, unable to foster any independent thought. Every innate human impulse is oppressed, and every action scrutinized. Amid the competing opinions voiced and advocated today, the idea of such a society, albeit fiction, may sound bizarre. But it became a fast approaching reality during World War II as the quick spread of totalitarian regimes propagated forced repressions of individuality. According to George Orwell’s novel 1984, it is impossible for individualism to flourish in the presence of a totalitarian government; Orwell enhances his point through the psychological manipulation of the people via propaganda and torture.
* Class conflict and poverty: Class conflict often exists in dystopian fiction, stemming from the disparities in the distribution of resources and wealth between the ruling class and citizenry. Life in a dystopian society is often a struggle for those in the common class. Again, The Hunger Games provides a great example of this theme.
* Disinformation is defined as “Intentionally false or misleading information that is spread in a calculated way to deceive target audiences.” James Dashner's The Maze Runner (2009) offers a great example of protagonists who are harmed and controlled by a disinformation campaign, and the story prompts readers to ponder the questions of how the digital revolution today is impacting the use of disinformation and if today's technology make it easier or harder to deceive the public.
* Science and Technology: Dystopian novels often feature advanced technology used against humanity to enforce conformity, suppress dissent, and distract with artificial pleasures for thought control, as seen in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1953). In the novel, technology is used to condition people to the point where they seem like robots, or to genetically alter babies to create supreme species.
* Rebellion: In most dystopian novels, a shocking disclosure of information causes a protagonist or protagonists to come to a moral, philosophic or political epiphany. The protagonists often take up a fight against the all-controlling omnipresent power and succeed in freeing themselves from the bondage of tyranny.
* Escape and Rebirth: From the ashes of war, a new utopian society emerges. Or, those in the rebellion who survive the conflict then escape to an existing Edenic destination where they can lead lives free from tyranny. Sometimes this escape is more economic than geographical, as in Ernest Cline's 2011 book, Ready Player One.
* Widespread poverty
* Large wealth gaps
* Major weather events, climate change or pollution
* Overpopulation
* Disregard for the planet's resource
Why Write Dystopias?
Dystopian novels can be a way of extrapolating from current events to show what the future might hold if we don't change course. In fact, many dystopian novels have been written as cautionary tales, including Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932).This novel explores a society where people are genetically engineered and predetermined for their social roles. It is a warning about the dangers of consumerism, genetic engineering, and the loss of individuality, which all can be seen in the world we live. The Handmaid's Tale (1985) by Margaret Atwood portrays a future America where women are forced into sexual servitude in order to repopulate the society. It is a frightening look at the potential consequences of religious extremism and the oppression of women.
Dystopian novels are also written to explore the nature of humanity and depict societies that are very different from our own. This can help us to see ourselves and our values in a new light. A notable example is We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (1921). This pioneering dystopian novel is set in a future where everyone lives in a glass city and their lives are rigidly controlled by the Benefactor. The protagonist, D-503, is a mathematician who begins to question the system and falls in love with a woman named I-330. The novel explores themes of individuality, free will, and the nature of love.
Last but not least, why not write for fun? Dystopian novels can be entertaining with exciting and suspenseful stories that are also thought-provoking. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins (2008-2010) takes place in a dystopian future where children are forced to fight to the death in an annual televised event. The protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, volunteers to take her younger sister's place and becomes a symbol of rebellion. The series is full of action, suspense, and romance, making it a thrilling read. Another fun read is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (2011). The story is set in a future where the world is in a terrible state, and most people escape reality by spending time in a virtual world called OASIS. The protagonist, Wade Watts, must compete in a scavenger hunt within OASIS in order to win a fortune. The novel is full of pop culture references and the 80s nostalgia, making it a fun and engaging read.
Subgenres of Dystopian Fiction
Dystopian fiction offers a spectrum of nightmarish futures, and within this genre, there are subgenres that explore specific anxieties or mechanisms for control and suppression. Here are some notable ones:
* Totalitarian Dystopia: This classic subgenre features a society ruled by a powerful, oppressive government that controls every aspect of people's lives. Examples include 1984 by George Orwell (1949) and We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (1924).
* Environmental Dystopia: This subgenre focuses on the consequences of environmental degradation, such as pollution, climate change, or resource depletion. Examples include Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (2003) and The Road by Cormac McCarthy (2006).
* Technological Dystopia: This subgenre explores the dangers of unchecked technological advancement, such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, or virtual reality. Examples include Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (2011).
* Apocalyptic Dystopia: This subgenre depicts a world ravaged by nuclear war, natural disaster, or pandemic. Examples include Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (2014) and World War Z by Max Brooks (2006).
* Dystopian Satire: This subgenre uses humor and exaggeration to critique social or political issues of today. Examples include A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (1962) and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1961, although some might classify this as absurdist fiction).
* Dystopian Romance: This subgenre features a love story set in a dystopian world, often with the couple defying the oppressive society. Examples include Legend trilogy (2011) by Marie Lu and Matched trilogy by Ally Condie (2010-2012).
* Utopian Dystopia: This subgenre blurs the lines between utopia and dystopia, where a seemingly perfect society has hidden costs or controls its citizens in unexpected ways. Examples include The Giver by Lois Lowry (1993) and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932).
The themes of these subgenres can overlap. For instance, a dystopian novel might explore elements of environmental collapse alongside a totalitarian government. | WIKI |

Use A Chess Or Checkers Board To Design A Program For A Robot
Write a computer program that tells a robot what to do!
Activity Details
Time needed: 60 minutes
Materials needed:
• Programming Challenge handout
• 1 checkerboard to use as a map of the room to be vacuumed (Alternatively, print out or draw a checkboard grid.)
• Red and black checkers (Alternatively, use two sets of beads or objects in two different colors.)
• Sticky notes
• Pen or pencil
• Paper
Setup:
A computer program is a type of algorithm—a set of step-by-step instructions. The list of steps for telling the robot how to complete a task is an algorithm. Recipes and driving directions are algorithms, too!
Computer programs are written in code, a language that can be understood by machines. Programs use commands to tell the machine what to do. A command is one step in a program.
Activity:
You’ve been challenged to write a program a robot can follow to perform two different tasks. First, you’ll write a program for a task of your choice. Then, you’ll code a program a robot can follow to navigate and vacuum a room!
Part 1: Write a paper program. (15 minutes)
A computer program is a type of algorithm—a set of step-by-step instructions. Do you think you can write an algorithm to tell someone how to complete a familiar task?
Pick a simple physical task to turn into an algorithm. Use regular language—you don't need to write commands in computer code yet.
For example, here’s an algorithm you could use to plant a vegetable garden:
1. Collect seeds to plant.
2. Pick up a shovel
3. Dig up the soil (called turning the soil).
4. Mix the freshly turned soil with natural fertilizer and compost. Plant seeds.
5. Turn on a hose or fill a watering bucket.
6. Water the soil.
7. Turn off the hose.
8. Put the seeds away.
9. Put the shovel away.
10. Water daily.
11. After several days, pull weeds.
12. Pull weeds again daily
13. Pick vegetables when ripe.
14. Wash ripe vegetables.
15. Eat.
Other ideas for tasks include mowing the lawn, vacuuming a room, sorting objects into different bins by size or color, setting up a campsite, painting a room, grooming or feeding a pet, or packing up a fragile gift item to send across the country.
Test your program by following the commands in your program, line by line, and acting out what you read. As you test your program, take notes about any problems you find so you can go back and fix them.
Part 2: Write a program for a robot. (45 minutes)
Engineers design complicated machines for big factories, but they also use their skills to create products for the home. For example, Helen Greiner, one of the founders of the company iRobot, was working on an industrial-sized robotic vacuum, but it was so large and heavy that it could damage furniture or hurt people if anything went wrong. So, the iRobot team decided to work out any problems by making a smaller prototype. The smaller model was so handy that the company began producing it as the Roomba robotic vacuum, which is now used in homes around the country.
For the next part of the activity, you’re going to write simulated computer code that tells a robovac how to vacuum a room and return to its charging station. To help, you’ll use a checkerboard as a map of the room to be vacuumed, red checkers as obstacles, and a black checker as the robovac to be moved around the room. Your goal is to write a program that will move the red checker around every square that is not covered by a black checker.
When you’re writing a computer program, spelling and punctuation must be perfect. Otherwise, the computer won't understand what you’re trying to say. However, when you’re just trying to figure out the steps in your program and what order they should go in, it's OK to make up your own pseudocode. That means writing out the commands using real words to make it easier to understand.
Some examples of pseudocode that tell a robovac how to move around include:
FORWARD 3 = move ahead three squares
RIGHT = turn and face right
So, follow the challenge instructions found below and on the Programming Challenge handout to write pseudocode for a robovac.
Challenge Instructions:
1. Set the board in front of you. Label one sticky note as the robot's charging station and place it on the board, along the "wall" of the room (edge of the board). Place the red checker (the "robovac") on the charging station square.
2. Label one sticky note as a stairway going down. Place the sticky note on one of the squares on the board, somewhere in the "room.
3. Place a few black checkers around the board as stationary obstacles—tables, chairs, sofa, bookcase, etc. Label them using the sticky notes.
4. If you’re writing a program using sensors (see “Want more challenge?” below), label one checker as a dog, cat, or other pet and place it on the board.
5. Write out a program for your robovac using pseudocode (plain language) by writing each command on a sticky note. Attach the sticky notes to a sheet of paper. Move the commands around as needed.
6. Test out your code as you work using the pieces on the checkerboard. Debug your program, adjusting your program as needed.
Want more challenge? Try this!
Add sensors in your program! A robot is a machine that can sense, think, and act. That means you can tell the robot to gather information about its environment using its sensors, decide whether the information meets certain conditions by using its brain, and take different actions depending on what it finds. To add challenge to the activity, add instructions for sensors to your program.
For ideas on sensors and conditions to add to your robovac’s program and tips for programming a robot with sensors, check out the “Want more challenge?” section of the Programming Challenge handout.
And that’s it! You’ve now completed two steps of the Cadette Programming Robots badge! If you had fun doing this, you might want to learn more about robots and design your own with the rest of the Senior Robotics badges.

Up Front
Kurt Andersen, who reviews the new ''Doonesbury'' book on this week's cover, first began reading Garry Trudeau's comic strip while in college in the 1970's. ''Except for 'Peanuts,' I had never been much of a funny pages fan, even as a kid,'' Andersen said in a telephone interview. ''But here was smart humor about real events, and fictionally rich characters rather than just Sluggo saying something to Nancy. Trudeau's characters occupied the same universe that I inhabited.'' Andersen, who is the host of public radio's ''Studio 360,'' a columnist for New York magazine and a novelist (''Turn of the Century''), said he admires the consistency of Trudeau's strip. ''It's not easy to be funny on demand seven days a week,'' he said, ''but Trudeau has been reliably good for a very long time.'' | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Grizzly bears are a North American subspecies of Brown Bear now found wild only in Canada and Alaska and in parks and reserves in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington. Largest American population is in Yellowstone National Park.
Related Species
The grizzly is a sub-species of the European and Asian brown bear. There are five other closely related species, including black and polar bears.
The grizzly bear has no natural enemies or predators in the wild. It is not really territorial, rarely fighting with other animals and tolerating fellow grizzlies, except during mating season.
Grizzlies spend spring and summer days foraging, resting and sleeping. Heavy feeding goes on in the autumn in order to build up energy reserves for their winter sleep. Grizzlies are not true hibernators, and fall into a torpor (deep sleep) during cold weather, but on sunny days they wake up and go to look for food.
Unlike other bears, grizzlies do not often use natural winter shelters like caves. Instead, they excavate large dens for themselves on a steep, north-facing slope, which will be covered in a thick layer of snow.
Most grizzlies wait for the snows before moving into their dens. Unless there are periods of warm weather, they stay inside until spring. Males and females without cubs generally emerge first, each individual bear usually emerges at slightly different times. When they leave the den, they first need to feed. They will feed near their dens and return to them at night until the weather is milder.

jQuery 1.6 and .attr()
jQuery 1.6 and 1.6.1 are out the door. Congrats to the team and everyone that was involved with the release!
A relatively controversial change in 1.6 was regarding how attributes and DOM object properties were handled. In 1.6 we wanted to take the major step of completely separating the two, allowing us to create an .attr() method that wasn’t quite so mealy-mouthed with regards to how attributes were handled. We did this in 1.6 because we felt that it was a substantial change (we only do major changes in the 1.x major releases of jQuery) and had the possibility of affecting people.
We did a considerable amount of testing on the code and we were quite confident that the amount of problems that people would encounter, while upgrading, would be quite minimal. The biggest pain points, we surmised, would be regarding how boolean attributes were handled (attributes like “disabled” or “selected”). However most of this would be mitigated and would likely have worked fine for users that consistently used .attr() to access and update their attributes.
After making the changes, and publishing 1.6, there were enough complaints that we had changed the API to cause us to reconsider and return .attr() to its sometimes-attribute, sometimes-property, state.
jQuery is in an incredibly tricky position now (and has been for some time). We very rarely add features to the library, for fear of bloat and added API maintenance overhead, and are rarely able to make any sort of API change, for fear of preventing people from upgrading.
Thankfully even though we’ve reverted some of the changes in 1.6, we’ve done it in a way that still maintains the performance gains that we achieved with the 1.6 release.
I wanted to try and summarize the .attr() method, to explain how it currently works in 1.6.1, but ended up writing up a sample function instead (note that this is a bit of an over-simplification, please read the code for more details):
1. function attr( elem, name, value ) {
2. // Are we setting a value?
3. if ( value !== undefined ) {
4. // Make sure the element has the ability to set an attribute
5. if ( typeof elem.setAttribute !== "undefined" ) {
6. // If the user is setting the value to false
7. if ( value === false ) {
8. // Completely remove the attribute
9. elem.removeAttribute( name );
10.
11. // Otherwise set the attribute value
12. } else {
13. // If the user is setting the value to true,
14. // Set it equal to the name of the attribute
15. // (handles boolean attributes nicely)
16. elem.setAttribute( name, value === true ? name : value );
17. }
18.
19. // If it doesn't, then we're likely dealing with window or document
20. // (or some other object entirely)
21. } else {
22. elem[ name ] = value;
23. }
24.
25. // Otherwise we're getting an attribute value
26. // Check to see if the appropriate method exists
27. // Also don't use getAttribute if a boolean property exists
28. } else if ( typeof elem.getAttribute !== "undefined" &&
29. typeof elem[ name ] !== "boolean" ) {
30. return elem.getAttribute( name );
31.
32. // If no getAttribute method is present, or if we
33. // wish to access the boolean property instead of the
34. // attribute, then we fallback to the DOM object property
35. } else {
36. return elem[ name ];
37. }
38. }
Ironically this isn’t much shorter than the actual .attr() implementation, I recommend that you check it out.
There’s a very good chance that your code, written targeting 1.5.2, will continue to work just fine in 1.6.1 using this particular technique.
However this point now begs the question: Why does .prop() exist?
In short, for two reasons:
1. There are legitimate use cases for interacting with some DOM properties (such as nodeName, selectedIndex, or defaultValue) and we want to provide a simple solution for accessing, and mutating, them.
2. Accessing properties through the .attr() method will be slightly slower than accessing them directly through .prop() (as .attr() calls .prop() internally in order to handle all property-related mutation).
In jQuery 1.5.2, and older, in order to access a DOM property you would have to do something like this:
1. var elem = $("#foo")[0];
2. if ( elem ) {
3. index = elem.selectedIndex;
4. }
In 1.6+ you can just do:
1. index = $("#foo").prop("selectedIndex");
Summary: There’s a good chance that your code won’t be affected at all with the changes that’ve happened, especially so with the changes in 1.6.1, and jQuery now has a convenience method for handling DOM properties in a simpler, and slightly faster, manner.
Tangentially this reminds me of a common question that I hear: What will be in jQuery 2.0? I have no idea what will be in that release, should it ever arrive, but I do know what won’t be in it: A massive API change of any sort. Even when we make, relatively minor, API changes like in the 1.6 release the amount of negative feedback that we get is monumental. If we’ve learned anything after doing 31 releases of jQuery it’s that people like having stability in their API and will cherish that over everything else.
I do want to thank the community though for being so vocal and working to communicate with the team so actively. Without the community’s communication and support it’s doubtful that the team would be able to continue operating.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to get involved with the development of jQuery. We hold active discussions every day in IRC and hold public meetings once a week. We also post weekly status updates if you wish to follow along. Right now we’re working on the 1.7 release of the library and are actively encouraging contributions and feedback. If you want to help ensure the quality and stability of the next release of jQuery, the best way to do so is to get involved. Hope to see you around the bug tracker.

#100 fixed Geotiff viewer crashes on loading ENVI-produced Geotiff anch benj
Description
If you create a Geotiff using ENVI (for example of a DEM) and then try and load that Geotiff into the Geotiff viewer, the viewer crashes with no error message (just produces a Bugzilla window).
#101 fixed Support: 22/Jan/2007, Mohammed Haq (Mark Cutler), GB04/29 sbg mggr
Description
Contacted by Bill handing over Mohammed's processing problem. He was having difficulties with DEMs (specifically formatting.
#102 fixed Support: 28/Jan/2008, Johanna Breyer (Pete Bunting), GB06-11 mggr mggr
Description
Following an updated azgcorr, Johanna is now working on using external BIL files (note previous support ticket #56 for background).
We have been trying to run azgcorr with a BIL file as we have now
atmospherically corrected the CASI data (through FLAASH in ENVI, with good
results), but the command is not running
as expected. In the PDF documentation it states that we should use the
-Bi command to specify the location of the BIL file and the -B command
to specify its parameters. The -B command is stated as having 5
parameters:
option:
-B b t s o f
BIL or BSEQ file content details
b = total bands on file
t = number type on file, 0= uint16, 1= float32
s = scale
o = offset to convert B file values for geom correction and saving as
uint16, v = p * s + o
f = fill value for bad pixels; good pixels are < f
if f = 0 the default values of 0 and 0xffff (uint16) or 10e30
(float32) are assumed
requirement:
MUST be used if -Bi or -Bs are useddefaults:
b NONE; s = 1.0; o = 0.0
When we execute the following commands (it works correctly without the
-B and -Bi) we get the following error message:
./bin/azgcorr -v -mUK99 ./misc/osgb02.cgrf -e ../DEM/

Talk:The Vicar of Bullhampton/GA1
GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''
Reviewer: 18:55, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
* Lead
* "... a feud between the titular Broad Church Vicar and a Low Church nobleman". It doesn't make sense to capitalise "Vicar" but not "nobleman". I don't believe that vicar is a proper noun, and therefore it ought not to be capitalised, something that needs to be fixed throughout the article.
* "Trollope's fortunes suffered, as well, from the mode of publication". In what way did Trollope's fortunes suffer?
* "Reviews were generally less than positive". Does that mean they were negative?
* "... many reviewers and readers were unhappy about the darker tone of Trollope's post-Barchester novels". We haven't been told that this was one of Trollope's post-Barchester novels, or even what that means.
* Brattle family
* "One of his daughters, Carry, is worse off yet". One of whose daughters, Sam or Jacob?
* Mary Lowther
* "... dissolve their engagement by mutual consent". Do you "dissolve" engagements, rather than end them?
* "... buying out the Colonel's interest to prevent his squandering the family fortune". Buying out the Colonel's interest in what? How was he able to squander the family fortune anyway if he wasn't the baronet?
* Plight of the fallen woman
* "... and attempting to keep them in ignorance would not conduce to virtue". "Conduce to virtue"?
* Love and courtship
* "A recurring theme in Trollope's work was the difficulty of choosing between two suitors". Isn't it still? Why the past tense?
* "In his essay, written a few months after Trollope's death, he cited The Vicar ...". Who did, James?
* "... Captain Marrable is left as something of a cipher". Are you certain that "cipher" is the right word here?
* "To Trollope, love does not necessarily go by merit". Not quite sure what that means.
* Publication history
* "... And because of these laches on his part ...". Is "laches" correct there?
Comments
Many thanks to User:Malleus Fatuorum for putting in what appears to be a fair bit of time and effort on this. I haven't been through the GA process before, so if I'm committing a Wikisolecism by responding here, please let me know and feel free to delete these remarks. I've implemented a number of the suggestions above; below are comments on some of the other questions and suggestions.
* "Trollope's fortunes suffered..." Isn't this adequately explained in the rest of the paragraph?
* "Reviews were generally less than positive..." I don't have access to the text of the reviews themselves, but the sources I've got give the impression that many reviewers felt that this wasn't up to Trollope's usual standards, but by no means a bad book. I don't get the impression that they actually panned the novel.
* "the Colonel's interest". The Colonel was the actual heir presumptive to the baronetcy, with Capt. Marrable as his heir apparent. Trollope doesn't go into the details, but there was presumably an entail of some kind at work, which would've given the Colonel a life interest in the property. Had it been the current baronet's to dispose of by will, of course, it wouldn't have been necessary to buy out the Colonel.
* "conduce". Merriam-Webster online acknowledges the word.
* "laches". Yes; and not in the legal sense, so I didn't Wikilink the term. For what it's worth, Trollope also used it in this sense of negligence or culpable laxity in The Last Chronicle of Barset (Chapter 18, "The Bishop of Barchester is Crushed").
--Ammodramus (talk) 18:12, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
* OK, I'll buy that. I've never read the book, but I'm presuming it's written as a third-person narrative? It would be nice to explain how it's written as a sentence at the end of the first Plot summary sub-section, to give more of a feel for the novel itself. Apart from that, if you're ever thinking of taking this to FAC I think you'd probably need to add a genre/style section, but I don't think that's necessary to meet the GA criteria. So I'm quite happy now to close the review and list this article as a GA. Congratulations. Malleus Fatuorum 20:48, 3 October 2011 (UTC) | WIKI |

years. Of course this system led to the worst abuses, and it frequently happened that young boys and girls were kidnapped and sold into servitude. Orphaned children and neglected children of profligate parents, too, were bound out—as they called it—to live and serve in some respectable home, boys until the age of twenty, girls until the age of eighteen or until marriage. This was another form of servitude very close to slavery. There were some indentured servants who willingly entered upon their temporary bondage, poor persons who agreed to serve for a fixed term in return for transportation to America, but they were not numerous. The third class of domestic servants were the free help, the only real wage-workers in this occupation, and it is they with whom we have to concern ourselves.
The domestic servants of the colonial period were very much in the same position as the housewives themselves. At a time when the home was considered the only proper place for a woman to be in, unattached women, who had no homes of their own, naturally sought the shelter of other people's homes, and if they had neither relatives nor close friends they sought the homes of strangers, where they could earn their bread in return for domestic service. But at that time domestic service, like housekeeping, meant much more than it does at present. The domestic servant had to be skilled at a number of domestic trades to make her employment profitable, and the manufacture of household commodities constituted a large portion of her work. If a housewife was in a position to engage help, she desired such help not only at the wash tub and the oven, but also, and often particularly, at the spinning-wheel and the loom. In the early newspapers there sometimes appeared advertisements for domestic servants, with the added qualification that they must be good spinners or skilled in weaving, and sometimes they were even required to be good tailoresses. Many domestice servants, particularly those who were widows, went out to work by the day, but the majority lived in the homes of their employers. In either case the wages of these early workers were very low. Old records show domestic servants to have received from fifty cents to one dollar per week and board, or board and lodging and from fifteen to thirty dollars per year. These | WIKI |

Users connected to data in database, but no db connection exists in Catalog.....how?

Having a bit of a connundrum....new job, just sent folks through an upgrade from 10.3.1 to 10.5. Prior to upgrading, I would review user's connections (database and folder) in case I had to remap their locations. What I found on numerous occasions was that the users were able to view data from our RDBMS, but when I go to look in Catalog, there is no database connection established (see attached image).
I have looked in:
When you read the data source it simply and properly states the Production database. I just cannot tell where the data is coming from. In addition, when I use the Set Data Source option in ArcCatalog for the .mxd it reads C:\Users\<user>AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcCatalog\Connection to <db>.sql but this location doesn't even exist and it was from a completely different users profile that had never been logged onto that machine.
From what I understand, the one person created an .mxd and copeid it to multiple machines. I just don't know how the're able to access the data in the RDBMS if they don't have ANY connections defined at all.
Any help would be much appreciated. I know I can add the db and change their data sources, but I'd also like to do some clean up and understand what is going on. I feel like I am missing something big and obvious here, or maybe not?

SDE credentials in MXD files
SDE connection properties are embedded in the MXD, which means a user's credentials are also embedded in the MXD if the "Save user name and password" box is checked. This assume the Authentication Type is set to "Database Authentication." I can't recall user names, but passwords are encrypted when they are embedded. I can't speak to the quality of the encryption.
If authentication is set to "Operating System Authentication," then a specific user's credentials are not embedded. Instead, a flag of sorts is set that tells ArcGIS Desktop to use the credentials of the user currently opening the MXD and not the user that originally created the connection.
There used to be a time, around ArcGIS 10.0 and before, where an SDE connection file would be referenced instead of embedding the SDE connection properties. If SDE connections were made via UNC path, the connection files on disk was referenced in the MXD. If SDE connections were made via drive letters, the connection properties would be embedded. It was around for many versions, I thought it was a design choice, and I used it to simplify updating SDE connection properties. At some point, it got called a bug and Esri changed the behavior. Fortunately, we are enough versions away from ArcGIS 10.0 that it isn't as common to run into MXDs with the older referenced SDE connection files instead of embedded properties.
Joshua Bixby Champion@ Mark Binder on Jan 27, 2015 7:28 AM
No. Opening an MXD where someone has created an SDE connection does not create a new SDE connection file on your system. The connection properties are embedded, and ArcGIS Desktop works with them that way. It does not have to create a new SDE connection file to make the connection to SDE. Since a new connection file isn't created, your second question is moot.

I feel silly, you're right, that did help. I've been using OSA for so long, I forgot how DA worked - threw me for a quick loop. Went and tested some more and it all makes perfect sense now.

How to Inspect & Maintain a Hydrant
Proper inspection & maintenance ensure reliable fire protection
An electrical malfunction in an office building causes a fire. The fire department rolls up to the building, sirens blaring. They rush to the fire hydrant, connect their hose—and no water comes out. Whoops.
Fire hydrant maintenance is—quite literally—a life-or-death proposition. The following information on fire hydrant operation and maintenance provides insight into this process. These tips apply to the dry-barrel hydrants commonly used on water distribution systems in the Midwest.
Operating the Hydrant
Fire hydrants must be operated properly, so adequate fire protection can consistently be provided. Always use a hydrant wrench when operating a hydrant. Repeated use of a pipe wrench on the five-sided operating nut will round off the nut so a hydrant wrench will no longer work.
After opening the highest port, slowly open the hydrant valve a few turns until water has reached the open port. Flush any debris that may be in the hydrant barrel. When the water is clear, slowly open the hydrant fully. It is important to displace trapped air from the hydrant barrel. Compressed air could cause problems. Remember that air is compressible, and water is not compressible.
Sometimes the internal hydrant valve may not function properly due to debris or mechanical problems. Whenever possible, attach an operating hand valve to the port from which water will flow. If flow from the hydrant cannot be completely shut down using the operating nut, use the hand valve to stop flow, and then close the control valve on the hydrant lead to completely shut down the hydrant so repairs and/or replacement work can be done.
Very old hydrants should not be operated by inexperienced personnel because hydrants may not seat well when closed and may be left running. Also, an inexperienced person may break the stem while forcing it in an attempt to get the hydrant to stop leaking. Therefore, the use of a pipe or “cheater” bar should be discouraged when operating an older hydrant.
Flow should be diverted by diffusers, hoses or other equipment. Proper traffic control should be provided as needed.
Maintaining the Hydrant
Fire hydrants must always be operable and capable of providing adequate fire protection, so systematic maintenance and inspection are vital. Repairs can be scheduled proactively instead of reactively, and problems can be dealt with before they become catastrophic.
Hydrants should be inspected on a regular basis at least once a year. Dry-barrel hydrants may require two inspections per year, in the spring and fall.
Every hydrant inspection should be documented, and problems with a hydrant should be reported immediately.
Below is an example of a proper hydrant maintenance inspection:
1. Remove one nozzle/pumper cap and, using a listening device, check for main valve leakage.
2. Using a plumb-bob, check the barrel for water or ice. Pump water out of the hydrant barrel, wait a few minutes, then recheck with the plumb-bob to verify that water is not passing through the valve on the hydrant lead.
3. Replace the nozzle/pumper cap, leaving it loose enough for air to escape. Open the hydrant a few turns to allow air to vent from the loose cap, and then tighten the cap.
4. Open the hydrant fully, checking for ease of operation. Repeatedly exercise the operating stem, as needed, to remove buildup and promote better operation. If lubrication or stem replacement is required, schedule the necessary work.
5. With the hydrant fully pressurized, check for leakage around the flanges, nozzles/pumpers, seals and operating nut.
6. Partially close the hydrant to open the drain outlets, and flush for 10 to 15 seconds.
7. Completely close the hydrant, and then open it a quarter- to a half-turn to relieve the pressure on the thrust bearing or packing.
8. Remove a nozzle/pumper cap, and attach a diffuser, if needed, along with a hand valve for control. Flush the hydrant to remove foreign material.
9. Close the hydrant and remove the diffuser. Place your hand over the nozzle/pumper to check for suction as the water drains out of the barrel.
10. Check for hydrant leakage with a listening device.
11. Remove all nozzle/pumper caps and inspect the threads. Clean and apply approved lubricant to caps and nozzles/pumpers.
12. Inspect cap chains for binding and ease of movement. Unbind or replace as necessary.
13. Replace the caps and tighten them.
14. Check operating nut lubrication and maintain as needed.
15. Inspect breakaway flange for damage if present.
16. Collect or verify the GPS location of the hydrant. This is very helpful when locating a hydrant under a pile of snow.
17. Notify utility personnel and fire department personnel immediately of inoperable hydrants needing repair or replacement. Get stakeholder buy-in.
Note: In order for a municipality to get full credit from ISO, they must do hydrant maintenance every six months. Other ISO requirements include:
• Location and number;
• Physical damage or defect;
• Obstructions on or around the hydrant;
• Hydrant outlets facing the proper direction;
• A minimum of 15-in. clearance between the lowest outlet and the ground;
• Visible auxiliary valve;
• Condition of paint – correct color code;
• All outlets are cleaned and lubricated;
• Status: public, private or non-potable; and
• Static pressure reading taken documenting time and date.
Additional questions to ask during a proper hydrant maintenance inspection include:
• During a static pressure test, do any of the nozzles, gaskets or drainage holes indicate leakage?
• With a nozzle-cap or pumper-cap removed, and using a listening device, does the main valve leak?
• Is there any “ponding” or standing water near the base of the hydrant?
• What is the condition of the paint? Is the color correct, based on the utility’s color scheme?
• Is the hydrant straight-up (plumb)? If not, does it appear that the hydrant has been hit by a vehicle?
• Should bollards be installed to protect the hydrant?
• Should the hydrant be relocated away from traffic?
• Does the hydrant need to be raised or lowered?
• Do the pumper port and nozzles face the correct direction?
• Is the soil surrounding the hydrant capable of supporting it?
• What is the GPS location of the hydrant, if required?
• Are nozzle/pumper threads in working condition?
• Do the nozzle/pumper ports require any maintenance or need to be replaced?
• Does the hydrant drain properly?
• Is the hydrant barrel still dry after pumping out the water and waiting a few minutes?
• Is it difficult to operate?
• Does it provide adequate fire-flow?
• Is the operating nut of the hydrant in good condition? Have the corners of the operating nut been rounded off from people using a pipe wrench instead of a hydrant key?
• If it appears that the hydrant has been illegally operated, should protective devices be installed to deter vandalism?
• Does the hydrant need to be raised? Firefighters need to be able to spin their wrenches to remove hydrant caps. If a hydrant is too low, time spent removing caps could be deadly.
Maintenance Masters: Burnsville, Minn.
The Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville, Minn., stands out in its devotion to hydrant inspection and maintenance. Burnsville (population: 61,000) comprises more than 3,800 hydrants. Around two-thirds of these are public hydrants, which the city inspects. The other third are private hydrants, or those on “private” water mains—including hydrants for commercial properties, apartment buildings and townhome developments. Fire codes dictate each hydrant be inspected annually.
In 2013, the city of Burnsville began a private hydrant inspection program, hiring a company (M.E. Simpson Co. Inc.) to inspect those private hydrants that did not already have independent inspections. Burnsville then added the price of inspection (typically $55, divided into monthly payments) onto the property owner’s water bill.
Maintenance for the private and public hydrants includes, among other things, flushing, which helps to remove mineral deposits in water mains; checking on rubber gaskets and moving parts, wear and tear on which can create leaks; and ensuring that the hydrant has not been damaged (e.g., if a car or truck runs into a hydrant, knocking it off of its rod). Minnesota’s freezing weather also poses potential issues, as leaking water, when frozen, can damage the hydrant.
The private hydrant inspection program has been a resounding success, according to Linda Mullen, utilities superintendent for the city of Burnsville.
“The first year [of the private hydrant inspection program], we had 30 hydrants that, when we went to do the inspection, there was no water. Now, all of the hydrants are in compliance,” said Mullen.
Before the program, many times private hydrants “were installed and they may not have been inspected,” Mullen said. “We had hydrants sitting on those private properties, and if there had been a fire, there would have been no water coming out of them to fight the fire. That was one of the biggest reasons that we implemented this program five years ago.”

Rosaleen Mills
Rosaleen Mills (16 July 1905 – 17 September 1993) was an Irish activist and educator.
Early life and education
Rosaleen Mills was born in Ballinasloe, County Galway in Connacht on 16 July 1905. She was the fourth of the five children of John Mills and Rosetta Dobbin. Her father was Resident Medical Superintendent of the Connaught District Lunatic Asylum. She was educated at Mount Pleasant School, Ballinasloe and the Roedean School in Brighton, England. She studied Spanish and French at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), attaining an MA in Modern Languages. While attending TCD she was an active member of the all-female Elizabethan Society, the only society women could join as members at the time.
After graduation, she lived in Germany for a year and travelled to France and Spain. In 1936 she became the first woman to address the College Historical Society. There she proposed the motion "That This House Reveres the Memory of Miss Pankhurst" at a debate chaired by Sheelagh Murnaghan. The society subsequently named an annual competition in her honour, the "Rosaleen Mills Maidens Final".
Career
From 1930 to 1936, Mills taught at what became Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Clontarf, Dublin. From 1936 to 1937 she nursed her mother full-time, after which she took a position at the commercial office of the Canadian Embassy to Ireland from 1938 to 1945. She then went on to teach at the private Knockrabo School in Goatstown, Dublin until its closure in the late 1950s. In 1957 she helped to establish a new co-educational and non-denominational school, Sutton Park, in Sutton, Dublin. She served as the vice-principal until she retired in 1970.
Activism
From the 1920s, Mills was active in a variety of women's organisations, beginning with those founded by suffragists. In her youth she becoming acquainted with Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington and Rosamond Jacob. She was involved in campaigns for women to be permitted to join the police force and also against the 1927 Juries Act which prohibited female jurors. She was a member of the Women's Social and Progressive League.
Mills joined the Irish Housewives Association (IHA) soon after its establishment in 1942. She took part in the IHA campaigns and was a regular contributor to The Irish Housewife, the organisation's journal. From its establishment in 1948, she sat on the council of the Irish Association of Civil Liberty. She served as president in the early 1960s. She was involved with the Dublin University Women Graduates Association. She spent a summer in Geneva in 1951 representing Irish women graduates as a delegate of the International Federation of University Women, observing at the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Mills was elected president of the Irish Federation of Women's Graduates' Associations in 1963.
In 1965 the UN Commission on Women issued a directive to women's organisations internationally calling on them to examine the status of women in their country. This was led in Ireland by an "ad hoc committee", chaired by Hilda Tweedy. Mills sat on the committee as an independent member. The committee outlined a number of discoveries including that Ireland had not signed or ratified a number of UN conventions relating to women. They also discovered a number of issues relating to inequality in pay, access to education and discrimination against married women. Following the findings of the committee, the Irish government established the first National Commission on the Status of Women in 1970, which presented wide-ranging recommendations for government policy changes in 1972. The Council for the Status of Women was established to ensure the implementation of the recommendations. Hilda Tweedy was elected chair and Mills as vice chair. Mills replaced Hilda Tweedy as chair in May 1976, serving until April 1977. As the precursor to the National Women's Council of Ireland, the council was the largest women's organisation in Ireland.
Later life
Mills was fluent in seven languages and travelled extensively across Europe and Russia. She was also involved in the Irish Georgian Society, An Taisce, the United Arts Club and the Irish Association for Social, Cultural and Economic Relations. For most of her adult life, she lived at 37 Percy Place, Dublin 4 before moving to St Mary's Nursing Home, Pembroke Road. She died there on 17 September 1993. | WIKI |

Murray H. Goodman
Murray Henry Goodman (born November 10, 1925) is an American real estate developer, philanthropist, and founder of Goodman Properties, also known as The Goodman Company. He is Lehigh University's most generous living benefactor, and the Goodman Campus and 16,000-seat Goodman Stadium at the university are named in his honor.
Early life and education
Goodman was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on November 10, 1925. He was educated at Liberty High School there.
Goodman served in the USAAF for 2.5 years. He then received a bachelor's degree in business administration from Lehigh University graduating in 1948, and was captain of the basketball team in 1947.
Career
The Goodman Company, headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, was founded in 1960 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It has actively and successfully developed regional malls and power centers throughout Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, and Ohio for over five decades. Goodman began his career as a general contractor, constructing institutional buildings and developing supermarkets, service stations, and small shopping centers in eastern Pennsylvania. The company was an early pioneer in the development and management of regional and super-regional malls with more than 24 million square feet of commercial space.
In 1980, he developed The Esplanade on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida. Since 2004, it changed its name to 150 Worth. In 2014, it Goodman sold it for $146 million.
Goodman has developed, owned and managed over 18 million square feet of shopping malls from Neptune, New Jersey, to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The company is no longer building any ground up projects, but is seeking to buy existing retail properties in Florida, Texas, Nevada, Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota, Tennessee, and New Hampshire.
Goodman is a long-time member and trustee of the International Council of Shopping Centers. He has previously been ranked as one of the leading developers and managers of shopping malls by Shopping Center World, a trade publication.
Philanthropy
The Goodman Campus, one of three at Lehigh University, is named in his honor, Goodman having donated 550 acres in Lower Saucon Township, Pennsylvania, in 1983 to build a sports complex, including the 16,000-seat Murray H. Goodman Stadium. He is Lehigh's most generous living benefactor.
Personal life
Goodman is married to Joanie Mellor Goodman, they have five children, and live in Palm Beach, Florida. They originally lived in Pennsylvania. In 2009, Goodman listed his apartment at 960 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan at $32.5 million, but sold it to Benjamin Steinbruch two years later for $18.875 million. In 2015, he sold Turtle Lane Farm, his family's "lavish equestrian property" in Wellington, Florida for $9.675 million.
In 2013, their daughter Marley Goodman, a real estate agent and former member of the U.S. Equestrian Team, married Brett Overman, president and CEO of National Disaster Solutions and Zip's Car Wash, also of Palm Beach, at the Mar-a-Lago Club, with Rabbi Solomon Rothstein officiating. They have a son, Malcolm Goodman. | WIKI |

SimpleLDAPSetup
Simple LDAP setup for Edubuntu
Karmic or Lucid
Server: install slapd, ldap-utils
Install the packages you'll need from apt.
sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
Server: Install schemas
This will install the schemas you'll need for doing LDAP authentication.
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/nis.ldif
Server: Create initial cn=config entry
You'll need to create cn=config entry.
NOTE:
We're going to assume that our LDAP database is being set up with o=edubuntu. Our admin password for the ldap administrator (cn=admin,o=edubuntu) is "edubuntu". Security!
Create the following file, save it as config.ldif:

Install it with:
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f config.ldif
Server: Create your initial database
We'll create our database. We'll have two ou's (organization units).
ou=users,o=edubuntu will hold our users (/etc/password and /etc/shadow).
ou=groups,o=edubuntu will hold our groups (/etc/groups).
Create the a file called root.ldif:
# o=edubuntu
dn: o=edubuntu
objectclass: organization
o: edubuntu
description: Edubtunu
# Administrator
dn: cn=admin,o=edubuntu
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
userPassword: edubuntu

objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
description: Users
ou: users
# Groups
dn: ou=groups,o=edubuntu
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
description: Groups
ou: groups
Add it with the following command:
sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,o=edubuntu -W -f root.ldif
It'll ask you for a password. Use what you did in the config step, i.e. edubuntu (Security!)
Server: add a user and group
So, add a user. And their group as well. Here's a user who's /etc/password line would look like:
sbalneav:x:1000:1000:Scott Balneaves:/home/sbalneav:/bin/bash
And who's password expires every 90 days. Default password is set to sbalneav (Security!).
Create a file called sbalneav.ldif:
#
# Example user and group
#
# User
dn: uid=sbalneav,ou=users,o=edubuntu
cn: Scott Balneaves
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: inetOrgPerson

userPassword: sbalneav
# Group
dn: cn=sbalneav,ou=groups,o=edubuntu
cn: sbalneav
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
gidNumber: 1000
There's some other useful info set in there, like mail address, display name, and homepage.
add it with:
sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,o=edubuntu -W -f sbalneav.ldif
Password, edubuntu, you know the drill.
Congrats! You now have a working LDAP auth server.
On to the client.
Client: install client pieces
There's a nice meta-package that installs all the stuff you need.
sudo apt-get install ldap-auth-client
• It'll ask for the base. Base is o=edubuntu
• connect as DB version 3
• Root bind dn is cn=admin,o=edubuntu (from above)
• Password is edubuntu (Security!)
Client: create an auth-client-config profile
Create a file in /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d, called edubuntu-ldap-config:
[edubuntu]
nss_passwd=passwd: compat ldap
nss_group=group: compat ldap
nss_shadow=shadow: compat ldap
nss_netgroup=netgroup: compat ldap
pam_auth=auth optional pam_group.so
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass
pam_account=account sufficient pam_ldap.so
account required pam_unix.so
pam_password=password sufficient pam_ldap.so
password required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
pam_session=session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/
session optional pam_ldap.so
session optional pam_foreground.so
This will set up both nss and pam services to use LDAP.
Set the auth config with:
sudo auth-client-config -a -p edubuntu
Note that the "edubuntu" in that command comes from the [edubuntu] in the config file.
Client: reboot the machine
I always find I need this.
Client: log in as user
For some reason, the user won't appear in the gdm face browser until they've logged in for the first time, so choose "other", and log in with user "sbalneav", password "sbalneav".
Things like getent password will give you the combined local /etc/passwd and LDAP password database, as you'd expect.

Computerized Enumeration and Bio-volume Estimation of the Cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae
Chao Jin, Maria Mesqutia, Monica Emelko, Alexander Wong
Abstract
One of the most noticeable consequences of global climate change is the increased occurrence of algae and cyanobacteria blooms in surface waters. Some of these organisms may release hazardous toxins which represent a threat for human and animal health worldwide. Accordingly, the identification of threshold levels of toxic cyanobacteria cells has become common practice to ensure successful water management. The majority of current methods for cyanobacteria enumeration and bio-volume assessment are very time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, when dealing with multicellular organisms (i.e., filaments, colonies, agglomerates etc.), none of the existing enumeration methods can achieve good accuracy and all tend to underestimate cell concentrations and bio-volume. In this study, we introduce an integrated method for automated enumeration and bio-volume estimation of Anabaena flos-aquae, a common filamentous species of cyanobacteria often present in water blooms. Since Anabaena filaments are often long and tangled, a sample of its culture was first sonicated to isolate individual cells, and then imaged while being excited by a 546nm light source to considerably improve contrast. A probabilistic unsupervised classification was introduced to detect the target cells, and the size distribution of the cells was used for model calibration. Using this learned cell model, subsequent samples with natural Anabaena filaments were automatically enumerated and the bio-volume estimated. Compared to traditional manual enumeration using a hemacytometer, the developed method achieved equivalent accuracy in much less time, with less resources, and provided additional bio-volume information. These preliminary results demonstrate the potential of the developed method as a robust tool for water quality monitoring.

"And I'm going to turn out. Not, as you suggested, to hang myself, but to finish this cigarette upon the roof. Perhaps, when I return, you will be in a more equable frame of mind."
"Don't you flatter yourself. What I say I mean. A hundred sovereigns, or I tell your wife."
He laughed very softly, as though he was determined not to be annoyed. Then we heard his footsteps as he crossed the floor. The door opened, then closed. We heard him ascend the steps. Then, with curious distinctness, his measured tramp, tramp, as he moved to and fro upon the roof. In the cabin for a moment there was silence. Then the woman said, with a curious faltering in her voice —
"I'll do it I don't care what he says." There was a choking in her throat "He don't care for me a bit" Suddenly she flung herself upon her knees beside the bed. She pillowed her head and arms upon the coverlet. I lay near the outer edge of the bed, which was a small one, by the way. As I lay I felt the pressure of her limbs. My sensations, as I did, I am unable to describe. After a momentary interval there came the sound of sobbing. I could feel the woman quivering with the strength of her emotion. Violet and I were speechless. I do not think that, for the instant, we could have spoken even had we tried. The woman's presence was so evident, her grief so real. As she wept disjointed words came from her. | WIKI |

Plumbing FAQ – Your Plumbing Questions Answered
Q: First thing in the morning, when I turn on the hot water, it takes forever to get hot. Is there a way I can get water hot instantly?
A: Great question. Yes, there is a way to get hot water instantly to get comfortable temperatures for washing. We can install a water heating system that heats water on demand and saves energy consumption. On demand water heaters provide energy saving options for residential and commercial consumption by heating water as it passes through the unit, rather than storing large tanks of hot water that leech energy. With on demand systems, cold water is instantly heated to a desired pre-set end use temperature. Instantaneous heaters are more expensive to purchase initially, but use less energy than hot water tanks that lose heat through tank walls and water pipes. Typically, a 30 percent reduction in operating costs benefits home budgets and reduces carbon footprints.
Q: What are the benefits of radiant in-floor heating?
A: Comfortable constant temperatures, a quieter home for healthy sleeping, healthier air and long-term energy conservation. Efficiency is in the ability of water and flooring material to absorb and hold heat, and as heat rises from the floor, your room maintains a constant temperature. Forced air furnaces blow heat through ductwork, spreading dust and other allergens throughout the house. Air quality improves with radiant heating as no fans are needed. Radiant heating has no air ducts, but uses a closed loop system for very minimal heat loss during circulation through in-floor tubing. This requires very little electricity and one of the main reasons hydronic in-floor heating is popular with homes built off traditional power grids.
Q: I would like to install a fridge with a built-in ice maker, how do I get water to it if my house is old and doesn’t have a water line?
A: Give us a call. We will install a water line for you and get your new appliances and ice maker working right on time for summer drinks.
Q: My drain keeps getting plugged, do you have any tips for keeping the drain working properly?
A: Another great question. Regularly clean your bathtub or shower drain for blockages before real problems occur. We know this is a gross job, but digging small hairy clogs out before they become solid will save you headaches in the future. Be careful what you put down your kitchen sink! Grease, coffee grinds and leafy greens that take more time to break down can plug your drain any time, but especially when colder temperatures harden this gunk inside your pipes. When you get a nasty clog that does not respond to plunging or other drain clearing methods, you may want to consider giving us a call.

MATHIAS, Judge.
[1] David Kimbrough (“Kimbrough”) filed a complaint in Monroe Circuit Court against Ramona Anderson (“Anderson”), alleging that Anderson was liable for damages whén Kimbrough’s basement flooded on numerous occasions between 2008 and 2011 after Anderson excessively watered her yard. A jury found in favor of Anderson, and Kimbrough now appeals, raising eight issues, which we consolidate and restate as:
1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in precluding testimony from Anderson’s insurance company regarding instructions given to Kim- . brough;
2. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting Kimbrough’s prior home insurance claim file into ■ evidence;
3. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in admitting a hydrogeologist’s expert report into, evidence;
4. Whether the trial court abused-its discretion .in denying Kimbrough’s motion for judgment, on the evidence on two of Anderson’s affirmative defenses; and
5. Whether the trial court abused its discretion in instructing the jury on final instruction numbers 8 and 9, concerning Anderson’s affirmative defenses.
[2] We affirm.
Facts and Procedural History
[3] Kimbrough purchased and moved into a home located on Robins Bow (“the Residence”) in a neighborhood in Bloom-ington, Indiana in 2001. The Residence is a two-story home, with the back side, garage, and part' of the west side mostly underground. The lower level includes a library, an office, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a laundry room, and a recreation room. All of the walls and ceilings are made of drywall, and all floors are carpeted except for tile in the hallways and bathrooms.
[4] The Residence has experienced numerous water intrusion problems over the years. Before Kimbrough purchased the Residence, the foundation was repaired in 1995 due to settlement that stemmed from cracks in the basement floor slab. Between 2001 and 2005, Kimbrough left a basement window open for approximately one week, causing water damage. Another water issue occurred during the same time period when an ice maker water line broke.
[5] In 2006, more serious damage occurred when a water line in the garage froze and' ruptured while Kimbrough was out of town. This break caused water to nin under the wall and into the living room, office, bathroom, utility room, and library, leaving about three to four inches of standing water in the lower level. Kim-brough filed a claim with- his insurance company and the damage was remedied by drying, ré-painting, and re-drywalling the lower level of the Residence. The contractors who repaired the damage indicated on the invoice that they discovered “non-loss related mold” in the den and told Kim-brough that the mold had not been caused by that particular incident.
[6] Anderson and her late husband moved into a home on Elizabeth Court to be closer to family in 2006. Anderson’s home and the Residence are adjacent properties, with the Residence located directly north of Anderson’s home.
[7] Anderson took pride in taking care of her yard, especially the flowers and plants. She watered her plants in the early morning, and when the weather was hot, she watered daily. As a result, Anderson’s water usage dramatically increased during the summer months. Most of Anderson’s watering occurred in the front yard, and she watered less frequently in the back yard, which was adjacent to the Residence. On occasion, Anderson would use a sprinkler to water as well.
[8] Again in 2007, water infiltrated Kimbrough’s lower level. Kimbrough- alleged that the damage was caused by Anderson leaving her sprinklers on for extended periods of time and filed a lawsuit against the Andersons. In August 2008, Kimbrough returned home and found a large amount of water in the lower level again. He observed that the ground behind the Residence was wet but Anderson’s sprinkler was not turned on. Kimbrough cleaned up the water with a Shop Vac, fans, and a mop and bucket.
[9] A few months later, Kimbrough noticed spots of mold appearing in the Residence. Kimbrough tried to remedy the problem by running a dehumidifier, an air conditioner, and a furnace, and he used an infrared filter to prevent the mold from spreading into the ducts. He also called Valerian Simianu, Ph.D. (“Dr. Simianu”), an environmental consultant, to conduct an inspection. Dr. Simianu concluded that mold was present in the Residence and recommended that the source of moisture be identified and removed. Due to the mold issues and concern for his health, Kimbrough moved out of the Residence in Spring 2009. However, he would return to Bloomington every two or three days to pick up mail, go to the bank, go to work, and maintain the Residence.
[10] Kimbrough returned in late-summer 2009 to find water running into the back of the Residence. He noticed that Anderson’s sprinklers were on near the fence between the two properties. Kim-brough took pictures of what he described as “pooling” water in Anderson’s yard. Tr. p. 306. The pictures Kimbrough submitted show a glare, which Anderson claims have been distorted. Further, Kim-brough approached two of his neighbors to observe the sprinkler running. He then called the police and asked them to shut off Anderson’s water. Kimbrough indicated that the responding officer shut off the water, but Anderson and the officer reported that the sprinklers were not on at the time the officer arrived.
[11] After the responding officer left, Anderson asked two different neighbors to walk along the yard between the Residence and Anderson’s home. Both neighbors reported that the ground was dry and no standing water was in either yard. Anderson also submitted pictures taken by one of the neighbors at trial. This incident allegedly caused another “mess” in Kimbrough’s lower level, and he again cleaned up the water in the same manner as before. Tr. pp. 311-12.
[12] Another similar incident occurred in September 2010. Kimbrough arrived at the Residence, found standing water in the lower level, and noticed that Anderson’s sprinklers were running. Again, Kim-brough called the police and asked them to turn off Anderson’s water. Yet again in 2011, Kimbrough returned to the Residence to find water in the lower level. Anderson’s sprinklers were not running at this time. Kimbrough cleaned up the water again, but the condition of the house continued, to deteriorate;
[13] Despite Dr. Simianu’s recommendations in 2008, Kimbrough did not follow his instructions to remedy the mold problem. Kimbrough’s insurance would not pay to fix the damage, and Kimbrough explained that he did not have the economic means to do so. He also was concerned that he would be destroying evidence and that this could affect his ability to recover from Anderson’s insurance company.
[14] The Residence was appraised, in February 2009 by real estate broker Bill Howard (“Howard”) at between $400,000 and $450,000 if no mold damage existed, but at that point, the house had “really pervasive mold damage.” Tr. p. 685. Howard returned in 2014 to inspect and appraise the Residence and valued the property at $45,000, which represents the lot value minus tear down costs. Kim-brough also did not remove any personal property from the Residence after the damage occurred, including a sixty-three-piece art collection. Art appraiser, John Scott Keller (“Keller”) valued half of the collection to be worthless due to mold contamination.
[15] Professional engineer James Barker (“Barker”) visited the Residence in January 2012 when Kimbrough’s yard was wet due to several days of rain. . After completing an inspection, Barker found no water in the lower level. In March 2012, the Monroe County Assessor removed the Residence from the property tax roll due to “severe black mold damage.” Tr. p. 578. This determination was made after Deputy Assessor of Monroe County made a home inspection and noted that the Residence was “unlivable.” Tr. p. 579. As a result, by the time Dr. Simianu returned in 2013 to take air samples, the overall mold condition had worsened. Dr. Simianu again suggested remediation, but when he returned in 2014, he noticed the mold was even worse than the previous year. By this point, the cost of remediation was much higher than when Dr. Simiami first suggested it in 2008.
[16] On August 21, 2012, Kimbrough filed a complaint in Monroe Circuit Court against Anderson, alleging negligence and other civil torts. Specifically, Kimbrough alleged that between 2008 and 2011, Anderson’s watering habits caused mass amounts of water to flow from her yard into the lower level of the Residence. On December 10, 2012, Anderson filed her answer, asserting the affirmative defenses comparative fault and failure to mitigate.
[17] Civil engineer Christopher Weil (‘Weil”) visited the Residence in September 2014 to determine the cause of the water damage in Kimbrough’s lower level. Weil observed silt that was left in the interior of the lower' level, which indicated a significant amount of water pressure against the south wall of the Residence caused by oversaturated soil. After investigation and review of Anderson’s water usage records, Weil concluded that the only way for the soil near the south basement to become that saturated was due to overwatering by Anderson.
[18] Robin Guyton (“Guyton”), receivables manager at City' of Bloomington Utilities, explained that Anderson’s water usage was higher in the summer months due to watering and indicated that Anderson had' an issue with a running toilet at the same time. Anderson also explained that she used more water in the summer months because she loved “green lawns” and her family stayed at her home for longer periods of time when the children were out of school and due to her late husband’s illness. Tr. pp. 887-88.
[19] Licensed contractor and home inspector, Leonard Murrell (“Murrell”) also visited the Residence in 2014. Murrell identified numerous maintenance issues outside of the Residence, including: blocked gutters, roots growing up next to the foundation, a crack in the block of the basement window well, debris in the window well, and á hole in the mortar joint. Murrell explained that these issues could allow water to infiltrate into the wall and then into the foundation. Specifically, Murrell believed that the water was entering through the cracked block and suggested that the Residence could benefit if a sump pump was installed. At this time, he estimated the cost to repair the damage to the lower level at $57,626.45. Tr. p. 928.
[20] Hydrogeologist Sally Letsinger, Ph.D. (“Dr. Letsinger”) also was consulted to determine what caused water to infiltrate the lower level of the Residence. Dr. Letsinger focused on detailed elevation information to study the drainage characteristics, detailed soil information to determine the absorptive and infiltration properties of the neighborhood, and weather information during the time period at issue. Based on her study, Dr. Letsinger concluded that the irrigation use coming from Anderson’s property was reasonable and that during summer months subsurface water migration is unlikely to occur due to the water being taken in by plants and soil. Further, she noted that sprinkler water would not have behaved any differently than rain water. Dr. Letsinger attributed the cause of water infiltration problems at the Residence to poorly installed drains around the perimeter or foundation of the house, lack of a sump pump, poor grading, or poorly maintained gutters.
[21] Prior to trial, both Kimbrough and Anderson filed numerous motions in , li-mine. Anderson filed her first motion on May 29, 2015, and third motion on June 4, 2015, seeking to preclude any evidence of her liability insurance at trial. Anderson’s first motion generally sought to exclude evidence of insurance under Indiana Evidence Rule 411, while her third motion specifically sought to exclude testimony from Anderson’s- insurance company that they instructed Kimbrough- not to remove damaged items from the Residence, mitigate damages, or destroy evidence under Indiana Evidence Rules 411 and 403. Kimbrough responded that he should be permitted to introduce this testimony to rebut Anderson’s affirmative defense that he failed to mitigate damages.
[22] On June 11, 2015, the trial court granted Anderson’s motions in part with respect to references about'insurance and denied them in part, allowing Kimbrough to offer evidence of statements made by a representative of Anderson’s insurance company after December 31, 2007. The next day, Anderson filed a motion to reconsider the court’s rulings on her first and third motions in limine.
[23] The five-day jury trial began on June 15, 2015, with'arguments regarding Anderson’s motion to reconsider outside the presence of the jury. Kimbrough made an offer of proof of his proposed testimony of claims adjustor, Thomas Best (“Best”). The trial court then granted Anderson’s motion to reconsider its ruling on Anderson’s first and third motions in limine. On June 17, 2015, Kimbrough filed a motion- to. reconsider on this issue, and the trial court denied it.
[24] On June 18, 2015, Kimbrough' filed a third motion in'limine, seeking to exclude evidence regarding his 2006 home insurance claim stemming from water damage in his basement due to privilege. Both parties made arguments outside the presence of the jury, and the trial court concluded that the information Was not privileged, allowing the file to later be admitted into evidence. The same day, Kimbrough made an oral motion in limine to exclude the introduction of Anderson’s expert report prepared by Dr. Letsinger. • • Kim-brough argued that unless Dr. Letsinger read the entire report “word -for word” that it was'inadmissible hearsay. Tr.- p, 966. The trial court denied - Kimbrough’s motion, and -Dr. Letsinger’s report was later admitted into evidence.
[25] Both parties submitted proposed jury instructions on -June 18, 2015, as well. 'On June'19, 2015, the trial court heard arguments on the proposed final instructions. Kimbrough made objections to instruction numbers 8, 9, and 10. The trial court overruled Kimbrough’s objections to instruction numbers 8 and 9. That same day, after both parties finished presenting evidence, Kimbrough filed -a motion for judgment on the evidence relating to Anderson’s affirmative defenses of Kim-brough’s comparative fault and failure to mitigate damages. This motion was argued outside the presence of the jury. The' trial court denied the motion and determined that the evidence presented at trial created questions of fact that were for the jury to decide. - After deliberations, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Anderson, concluding that she was not at fault for the damage to the Residence. The trial court entered judgment on June 24, 2015, Kimbrough now appeals.
Trial Court’s Admission and •Exclusion of Evidence
[26] Kimbrough argues that the trial court erred in excluding comments made by Anderson’s insurance adjustor, in admitting Kimbrough’s prior home insurance claim file, and in admitting an expert report submitted by Anderson. The decision to admit or exclude evidence lies within the sound discretion of the trial court, and we will not disturb the trial court’s decision absent a showing of an abuse' of that discretion. Weigel v. Weigel, 24 N.E.3d 1007, 1010 (Ind.Ct.App.2015). A trial court abuses its discretion only if, its decision is clearly against the logic and effect of the facts-and circumstances before the- court. Speybroeck v. State, 875 N.E.2d 813, 818 (Ind.Ct.App.2007). .
[27] Even if an evidentiary decision is an abuse of discretion', we will not reverse if the ruling constituted harmless error. Techna-Fit, Inc. v. Fluid Transfer Prods., Inc., 45 N.E.3d 399, 411 (Ind.Ct.App.2015) (citing Spaulding v. Harris, 914 N.E.2d 820, 829-30 (Ind.Ct.App.2009), trans. denied). An error is harmless when the probable impact of the erroneously admitted or excluded evidence on the factfinder, in light of all the evidence present, is sufficiently minor so as not to affect a party’s substantial rights. Crider v. Crider, 15 N.E.3d 1042, 1061 (Ind.Ct.App.2014), trans. denied; Ind. Trial Rule 61.
A. Anderson’s Insurance Adjustor’s Comments
[28] Kimbrough specifically contends that the trial court erred in excluding comments made to Kimbrough by-insurance adjustor Best because it incorrectly applied Indiana Evidence Rule 411 and failed to make an Indiana Evidence Rule 403 determination. Under Indiana Evidence Rule 411,
Evidence that a person was or was not insured against liability is not admissible to prove whether the person acted negligently or otherwise wrongfully. But the court may admit this evidence for another purpose, such as proving a witness’s . bias or prejudice or proving agency, ownership, or control.
The purpose of Rule 411 is “to prevent juries from inferring fault or calculating damages based on parties’ liability coverage or lack thereof.” Spaulding v. Harris, 914 N.E.2d 820, 830 (Ind.Ct.App.2009). Notwithstanding the general bar imposed by Rule 411, insurance evidence may be admitted for other purposes other than implying fault or influencing damage awards. Id. Rule 411 provides a non-exhaustive list of permissible purposes, but “[t]he number of possible alternative uses of the existence or nonexistence of liability insurance evidence is, .of course, unlimited.” Mat 830-31.
[29] “If the evidence is offered for a purpose not prohibited by Rule 411, admissibility is governed by the balancing test of Rule 403, and exclusion may be appropriate if the fact to be proven is not in genuine dispute.” Id. at 831. Indiana Evidence Rule 403 provides that “[although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.” Id.
[30] Despite Kimbrough’s assertion that the trial court did not make a Rule 403 determination, the court stated:
[T]he problem with admitting this testimony is then we’re injecting the insurance issue into the case when the, the question is supposed to be what did the parties do, not what the insurers might have done. I don’t think its objectively reasonable for, um, Mister Kimbrough to rely on instructions from an insurance adjustor, especially when he has a lawyer representing him ... Um, was it, would it be reasonable for Mister Kim-brough to continue, to rely on, ah, ah, a statement from his adversary in the insurance company, for, ah four years while he’s represented by all of these lawyers? I don’t think it would be, but the only reason I’m considering that at all is because I’m trying to balance that against the, ah, the evidence rule that excludes evidence of insurance. So, if we ignore that evidence rule or disregard it, find that something else is more important, what is that more important thing? It, it may be that it explains why Mister Kimbrough apparently took no steps to repair his house, but certainly he doesn’t act on instructions from the insurance company. They can make suggestions. They can tell him .their terms. He’s not compelled to follow them. Ah, there, there’s simply no good reason to disregard the basic rule that we don’t talk about insurance. Well, you know, we don’t inject insurance into this controversy, and there’s no way to do this without making that a central issue instead of a subsidiary issue.
Tr. pp. 176-78.
[31] We conclude that in its discretion, the trial court conducted a Rule 403 balancing and determined that admitting Best’s testimony would confuse the issues and mislead the jury; Therefore, we cannot say that this decision is clearly against the logic and effect of - the facts and circumstances that were before the court and is not an abuse of discretion.
B. Kimbrough’s 2006 Home Insurance Claim File
[32] Kimbrough also argues that his 2006 home insurance claim file regarding water damage in the lower level was privileged and therefore inadmissible under Richey v. Chappell, 594 N.E.2d 443 (Ind.1992). In that case, the Richeys were involved in an automobile accident with Chappell and brought a claim against him a couple of years later. Chappell made a statement to his insurance company about the accident after it occurred, and the Richeys sought to discover the statement during the course of litigation. Our supreme court held that where a policy of insurance requires an insurer to defend claims against the insured, statements from the ifisured to the insurer concerning an occurrence which may be. the basis of a claim by a third party are protected from disclosure. Id. at 447. Richey’s application is limited to situations where an insurer is required to defend the insured in an action by a third party.
[33] Here, Kimbrough’s insurance-company was not defending him in an action by a third party. Rather, Kimbrough sued Anderson on an entirely unrelated incident and the claim file was related to water damage from 2006 in the basement of. the Residence. Kimbrough’s statements to his insurance company would have been privileged if it had to defend Kimbrough in the claim arising from 2006, but this is simply not the case. We therefore conclude that the 2006 claim file was not privileged and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting it into evidence.
C. Dp. Letsinger’s Expert Report
[34] Kimbrough also contends Dr. Letsinger’s expert report was inadmissible hearsay because it was prepared in anticipation of • litigation. Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of-the matter asserted therein, which rests on the credibility of the out-of-court declarant who is unavailable for cross-ex-aminatioh. Miller v. State, 575 N.E.2d 272, 274 (Ind.1991). If the challenged evidence is hearsay, then it is inadmissible unless it meets one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule. Ind. Evidence Rule 802. Under Indiana Evidence Rule 703:
An expert may base an opinion on facts or data in the case that the expert has been made aware of or personally observed. Experts may testify to opinions based on inadmissible evidence, provided that it is of the type reasonably relied upon by experts in the field.
[35] “The erroneous admission of hearsay evidence does not automatically constitute reversible error.” Miller, 575 N.E.2d at 275. Appellate Rule 66(A) provides the harmless error standard:
No error or defect in any ruling or order or in anything done or omitted by the trial court of by any of the parties is ground for granting relief or reversal on appeal where its probable impact, in light of all the evidence in the case, is .sufficiently minor so as not to affect the substantial rights of the parties. . ■
[36] We agree that Dr. Letsinger’s report contained an out-of-court statement offered to prove that Anderson’s watering did not cause damage to the Residence and as such is inadmissible hearsay.- However, Dr. Letsinger’s testimony was admissible under Indiana Evidence Rule 703. We also note that Dr. Letsinger’s report is a complex forty-four-page hydrologic analysis that she explained to the jury in her testimony. Without Dr. Letsinger’s testimony, the average lay person could not begin to interpret these results. Further, contractor and home inspector Murrell identified the same maintenance issues with the Residence that could have caused water infiltration problems as Dr. Letsinger. Based on this evidence, we conclude that the trial court’s admission of Dr. Let-singer’s report constituted harmless error.
Motion for Judgment bn the Evidence
[37] 'Kimbrough further argues that the trial court erred in denying his motions on the evidence as ' to Anderson’s affirmative defenses; The purpose of a motion for judgmént on the evidence is to test the sufficiency of the evidence. Zemco Mfg., Inc., v. Pecoraro, 703 N.E.2d 1064, 1071 (Ind.Ct.App.1998). The grant or denial of a motion for judgment on the evidence is within the broad discretion of the trial court and will be reversed only for an abuse of that discretion. Id. Indiana Trial Rule 50(A) provides:
Where all or some of the issues in a case tried before a jury or an advisory jury are not supported by sufficient evidence or a verdict thereon is clearly erroneous as contrary to the evidence because the evidence is insufficient to-support it, the court shall withdraw such issues from the jury and enter judgment thereon or shall enter judgment thereon notwithstanding a verdict.
[38] When we review a trial court’s ruling on a motion for judgment on the evidence, we are bound by the same standard as the trial court. Faulk v. Nw. Radiologists, P.C., 751 N.E.2d 233, 238 (Ind.Ct.App.2001) (citing Campbell v. El Dee Apartments, 701 N.E.2d 616, 619 (Ind.Ct.App.1998)). We may not substitute our judgment for that of the jury on questions of fact nor should a motion for judgment on the evidence be granted, because the evidence preponderates in favor of the moving party. Id. Rather we determine only: (a) whether there exists any reasonable evidence supporting the claim; and (b) if such evidence does exist, whether the inference supporting the claim can be drawn without undue speculation. Id.
A. Affirmative Defense of Comparative Fault for Pre-Injury Conduct
[39] Specifically, Kimbrough argues that -the evidence presented to the jury did not sufficiently show that Kim-brough unreasonably failed to avoid an injury or to mitigate damages before his injury, so Anderson should not have been able to assert- comparative fault as a defense. He also argues that he had no way to avoid the water intrusion incidents allegedly caused by Anderson and that the prior water problems did not cause permanent or extensive damage to the Residence.
[40] The Indiana Comparative Fault Act (“the Act”) governs “any action based on fault that is brought to recover damages for injury or death to a person or harm to property.” Ind.Code § 34-51-2-1. In an action based on fault that is brought against one defendant, the claimant is barred from recovery if the claimant’s contributory fault is greater than the fault of all persons who fault proximately contributed to the claimant’s damages. Ind.Code § 34-51r2-6(a)(l). For purposes of the Act under Indiana Code section 34-6-2-45(b), ,
Fault includes any act or omission that is negligent, willful, wanton, reckless, or intentional toward, the person or property of others. The term also includes unreasonable assumption of risk not constituting an enforceable express consent, incurred risk, and unreasonable failure to avoid an injury or to mitigate damages.
[41] In Kocher v. Getz, our supreme court held that, “[i]n cases arising under the [Comparative Fault] Act, a defense of damages based on .a plaintiffs acts or omissions occurring aftér an accident or initial injury is not properly included in the determination and allocation of fault under the Act.” 824 N.E.2d 671, 674 (Ind.2005). Further, “[t]he phrase ‘unreasonable failure to avoid an injury or to mitigate damages’ ineludéd in the definition of fault under Indiana' Code section 34-6-2-45(b) •applies only to a plaintiffs conduct before an accident or initial injury. An example of such unreasonable failure to avoid an injury or to mitigate damages would be a claimant’s conduct in failing to exercise reasonable care in using appropriate safety devices, e.g., wearing safety goggles while operating machinery that presents a substantial risk of eye damage.” Id. at 674-75. Therefore, we will only consider the evidence presented relating to Kim-brough’s - pre-injury conduct to determine if the trial court properly denied Kim-brough’s motion for judgment on the evidence on Anderson’s comparative fault defense.
[42] The trial' court admitted evidence from Kimbrough’s 2006 home insurance claim file, indicating that the lower level of the Residence contained mold even before that water incident. Further, Anderson presented testimony from home inspector Murrell who explained that there were numerous maintenance issues with the Residence that could allow water to infiltrate into the wall and then into the foundation. Expert hydrogeologist Dr. Let-singer also attributed the cause of damage to the Residence to poorly installed drains around the perimeter or foundation of the house, lack of a siimp pump, poor grading, or poorly maintained gutters. This evidence establishes that Kimbrough’s omission before'the alleged watering incidents occurred could have caused water intrusion in the lower level of the Residence. Based on all of this evidence, we conclude that Anderson has presented reasonable evidence to support her comparative fault defense. Additionally, these inferences can be established without undue speculation. ■ •
B. Affirmative Defense of Failure to Mitigate ' '
[43] Kimbrough further contends that Anderson failed to present evidence to support heri failure to mitigate damages defense. He specifically asserts that Anderson failed to prove a separate, discrete, identifiable harm caused by Kim-brough’s alleged unreasonable conduct or how much damage was caused or proximately caused by this unreasonable conduct.
[44] The obligation of a plaintiff to mitigate damages generally refers to the expectation that a person who has been injured.should act to minimize damages after an injury-producing incident. Kocher, 824 N.E.2d at 674. The amount of damages a plaintiff is entitled to recover is reduced by those damages which reasonable care would have prevented. Foster.v. Owens, 844 N.E.2d 216, 221 (Ind.Ct.App.2006) (citing Willis v. Westerfield, 839 N.E.2d 1179, 1189 (Ind.2006)). The defense of failure to mitigate has two elements: (1) the defendant must prove that the plaintiff failed to exercise reasonable care to mitigate his or her post-injury damages; and (2) the defendant must prove that the plaintiffs failure to exercise reasonable care caused the plaintiff to suffer an identifiable harm not attributable to the defendant’s negligent conduct. Id. It is not enough to establish that the plaintiff acted unreasonably. Id. The defendant must establish “resulting identifiable quantifiable additional injury.” Id.
[45] In the record before us is evidence from Kimbrough’s home insurance claim of a prior water incident in the lower level of the Residence that occurred in 2006. The cleaning and repair report indicated that mold was present before the 2006 incident. Further, Kimbrough consulted environmental consultant Dr. Simianu, who urged Kimbrough to identify the source of the moisture and remove it in 2008, after the first water intrusion at issue in this lawsuit occurred. Instead of following Dr. Sim-ianu’s recommendation, Kimbrough moved out of the Residence and did not remediate the damage.
[46] As a result, in 2012, the Residence was taken off of the Monroe County tax roll due to severe black mold damage. Kimbrough continued to travel and leave the Residence without supervision, even after being aware of the water intrusion problems, nor did he remove any of his personal belongings or sixty-three-piece art collection, allowing the items to be infiltrated by mold and essentially rendered valueless. When Dr. Simianu returned in 2013 and 2014, the damage had worsened significantly. He testified that it would now cost much more to remediate the mold damage than when he first collected air samples in 2008.
[47] Even though Dr. Simianu was Kimbrough’s witness, his testimony established that Kimbrough failed to exercise reasonable care to mitigate post-injury damages and that Kimbrough’s failure caused him to suffer an identifiable harm not attributable to Anderson’s negligent conduct. Although Kimbrough cleaned up the lower level to the best of his personal ability, the problem needed to be remedied by completely removing the source' of moisture and waterproofing his basement to eliminate future water infiltration problems.
[48] If Kimbrough had followed Dr. Siminau’s recommendation, he would have likely not had to move out of the Residence and his art collection and personal property would not have been completely destroyed. What started out as a small mold problem turned into pervasive mold damage, evidenced by the Residence being removed from the tax roll. Even if Anderson’s watering was determined to cause the water damage, Kimbrough’s failure to at the very least remove his personal belongings and art collection caused him to suffer an identifiable harm not related to Anderson’s conduct.
[49] Reasonable .evidence supports Anderson’s failure to mitigate defense and these inferences can be established without undue speculation. We therefore conclude that the trial court did not err when it denied Kimbrough’s motion for judgment on the evidence in regard to both of Anderson’s affirmative defenses. These issues were supported by- sufficient evidence and the court properly left these questions of fact to the jury.
Jury Instructions
[50] Kimbrough argues that the trial court erred in instructing the jury. The manner of instructing a jury is left to the sound discretion of the trial court. Callaway v. Callaway, 932 N.E.2d 215, 222 (Ind.Ct.App.2010). Its ruling will not be reversed unless the instructional error is such that the jury misstates the law or otherwise misleads the jury. Id. Jury instructions must be considered as a whole and in reference to each other. Id. at 222-23. In reviewing a trial court’s decision to give or refuse a tendered instruction, we consider: (1) whether the instruction correctly states the law; (2) whether there is evidence in the record to support giving the instruction; and (3) whether the substance of the tendered instruction is covered by the other instructions that are given. Id. at 223. To determine whether sufficient evidence exists to support an instruction, we will only look to that evidence most favorable to the appel-lee and any reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom. Foddrill v. Crane, 894 N.E.2d 1070, 1078 (Ind.Ct.App.2008), turns, denied. Finally, “when a jury is given an incorrect instruction on the law, we will not reverse the judgment unless the party seeking a new trial shows ‘a reasonable probability that substantial rights of the complaining party have been adversely affected.’” Id. (citations omitted).
A. Final Instruction Number 8
[51] Kimbrough argues that final instruction number 8 is an incorrect and incomplete statement of the law and is unsupported by the evidence. Instruction number 8 provided:
Failure to avoid damages means the plaintiffs unreasonable failure to take some action that would have avoided the damage for which he complains. Plaintiff may not recover for any item of damage that could have been avoided through the use of reasonable care.
Appellant’s App. p. 120.
[52] Although, we agree that final instruction number 8 on its own is an incomplete statement of the law regarding failure to mitigate, jury instructions must be considered as a whole and in reference to each other. Callaway, 932 N.E.2d at 222-23. In final instruction number 11 the trial court instructed the jury:
The Defendant bears the burden of proving both elements of the affirmative defense of post-injury failure to mitigate damages: (1) that the Plaintiff failed to exercise reasonable care to mitigate his or her post-injury damages, and (2) that the Plaintiffs failure to exercise reasonable care caused the Plaintiff to suffer an identifiable item of harm not attributable to the Defendant’s negligent conduct.
Appellant’s App. p. 123; Tr. p. 1150. One element that we must consider in our review is whether the substance of the tendered instruction is covered by the other instructions that are given. Taken together, we conclude that final instruction numbers 8 and 11 are a correct and complete statement of the law.
[53] Our more general discussion of the affirmative defense of failure to mitigate applies here, as well. See supra at pp. 337-39. For all of these reasons, final instruction number 8 was supported by sufficient evidence.
E. Final Instruction Number 9
[54] Similarly, Kimbrough asserts that final instruction number 9 is unsupported by the evidence. Instruction number 9 stated:
The phrase “unreasonable, failure to avoid an injury” applies to a claimant’s conduct before an alleged incident. An example of unreasonable failure to avoid an injury would be a claimant’s conduct in failing to exercise reasonable care in using appropriate safety devices, e.g. wearing safety glasses white operating machinery that presents a substantial risk. of eye damage. If you .find the Plaintiff committed some act or omission that constitutes unreasonable failure to avoid an injury then you should determine what percentage of fault should be allocated to Plaintiff.
Appellant’s App. p. 121,
[55] As with final instruction number 8, our more general discussion of the, affirmative defense of comparative fault for pre-injury conduct applies here. . See supra at pp. 336-37. For the same reasons we concluded that the evidence evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support Anderson’s comparative fault defensé, and final instruction number 9 is likewise supported by sufficient evidence.
Conclusion
[56] For all of these reasons, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in precluding testimony from Anderson’s insurance company regarding instructions given to Kimbrough, in admitting Kimbrough’s prior home insurance claim file, and’ in admitting one of Anderson’s expert reports into evidence. Further, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kimbrough’s motion for judgment on the evidence on two of Anderson’s affirmative defenses or in instructing the jury with final instructions number 8 and number 9.
[57] Affirmed.
" VAIDIK, C.J., and BARNES, J., concur!
. Kimbrough now resides with his parents in Kokomo, Indiana and since trial has sold the Residence. Although Kimbrough primarily resided at the Residence, his wife lives in Romania, and he frequently traveled to visit her and teach various courses abroad during these incidents.
. Anderson's husband, Robert, passed away during the trial court proceedings in 2012.
. Anderson sold the Elizabeth Court home on December 1, 2013, but we will refer to the house on Elizabeth Court as "Anderson's home” to simplify the sequence of events.
.That case was settled, and Kimbrough released all claims for damage prior to December 31, 2007.
. One neighbor passed away before trial, and the other neighbor wrote a letter detailing that on August 8, 2009, he observed a sprinkler running in Anderson’s yard and standing water on both sides of the fence dividing the two properties.
. Dr. Simianu estimated that it would cost $60,000 to remediate a six hundred square foot area by this point.
. Weil is referred to throughout the transcript as "Wyle.”
. Hydrogeologists study the movement of water.
.Only Anderson's first and third motions in limine and Kimbrough’s third Motion in li-mine are relevant to this appeal.
. Throughout the transcript, Best is incorrectly referred to as "Betts.”
. In the transcript, the trial court did not assign numbers to the final instructions, but the instruction is labeled as such in Kim-brough’s Appendix. See Appellant’s App. p. 123; Tr. p. 1150.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>Abstract</b>—This paper presents a general theory for developing new Svoboda-Tung (or simply NST) division algorithms not suffering the drawbacks of the "classical" Svoboda-Tung (or simply ST) method. NST avoids the drawbacks of ST by proper recoding of the two most significant digits of the residual before selecting the most significant digit of this recoded residual as the quotient-digit. NST relies on the divisor being in the range [1, 1 + δ), where δ is a positive fraction depending upon: 1) the radix, 2) the signed-digit set used to represent the residual, and 3) the recoding conditions of the two most significant digits of the residual. If the operands belong to the IEEE-Std range [1, 2), they have to be conveniently prescaled. In that case, NST produces the correct quotient but the final residual is scaled by the same factor as the operands, therefore, NST is not useful in applications where the unscaled residual is necessary. An analysis of NST shows that previously published algorithms can be derived from the general theory proposed in this paper. Moreover, NST reveals a spectrum of new possibilities for the design of alternative division units. For a given radix-<it>b</it>, the number of different algorithms of this kind is <it>b</it><super>2</super>/4.</p>

The Popular Right
The Popular Right (La Droite populaire, commonly known as La Droite pop) is a recognised movement within the National Rally (RN) since 2019, previously within the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and The Republicans (LR). It was founded in 2010 as the Collectif parlementaire de la Droite populaire, a caucus of UMP parliamentarians which included 26 members of the National Assembly. The Popular Right seeks to emphasise issues such as national identity, security and immigration. Its leader is Thierry Mariani, currently an MEP.
History and ideology
The movement was created as an informal parliamentary caucus within the then-governing UMP in June 2010 by Lionnel Luca, Richard Mallié, Jean-Paul Garraud and Thierry Mariani - all members of the UMP's right-wing. It was later joined by other parliamentarians, most of them from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France, a region where the far-right National Front is very strong.
The movement's charter focused on six themes: nation, patriotism, free enterprise, family policy, security, responsible management of public finances, and French prestige abroad. Emphasizing some of the most right-wing and law-and-order aspect of former President Nicolas Sarkozy's 2007 platform, it focused much of its actions on immigration and security. It has strongly opposed foreigners' right to vote in local elections.
It has often created controversy because of its radical positions on certain issues, for example when it asked for references to gender to be removed from school textbooks. Some of its members have also indicated their support for local alliances with the far-right National Front, raising controversy within the UMP and on the left.
The group was badly hurt by the 2012 legislative elections, after which its weight in the French National Assembly shrank from 63 to 26 deputies. 37 of its members lost reelection. As it restructured itself as a motion for the November 2012 congress, leaders such as Thierry Mariani worried about the rise of similar motions such as The Strong Right.
Weight within the UMP
As a motion for the November 2012 congress, the Droite Populaire did badly, placing fifth with 10.87% of the motions vote, barely enough to qualify as a recognized movement in the UMP.

The design of studies on the immune system does not have gender peculiarities, but the information about the higher frequency of pathology of the female reproductive system in the presence of immunodeficiency condition determines the purpose of this study, namely, to identify the features of immune status in the presence of secondary immunodeficiency of infectious (i.e., HIV infection, AIDS stage) and non-infectious origin (alcohol dependence syndrome) and their combination in women of reproductive age. The material for the study of cellular and humoral immunity was a lymphocyte suspension obtained by centrifugation of peripheral blood (taken within 12 hours after death) in women of reproductive age with HIV infection (AIDS stage), alcohol dependence syndrome and their combination. Immunological examination included the determination of quantitative indicators of cellular immunity using monoclonal antibodies: T-lymphocytes (CD3) and their main subpopulations of T-helper cells (CD4), cytotoxic lymphocytes (CD8), CD4/CD8 immunoregulatory index; as well as indicators of humoral immunity: B-lymphocytes (CD19) and immunoglobulins of the main classes (IgA, IgG, IgM). Additionally, interleukins IL-6 and IL-10 were studied to determine the parameters of the cytokine profile. The study indicates that the number of leukocytes and lymphocytes in the group of deceased women with alcohol dependence syndrome was 3.6±0.38x109/l and 0.82±0.35x109/l; in deceased women with HIV/AIDS, these indicators were reduced - 2.9±0.03x109/l and 0.39±0.04x109/l, respectively; and in deceased women with combined pathology (AIDS and alcohol dependence syndrome), they were reduced even more intensively - 2.7±0.04x109/l and 0.35±0.06x109/l (p<0.01). Compared to the control group - 5.22±0.4x109/l and 1.73±0.21x109/l - the number of leukocytes and lymphocytes was reduced in all study groups. In the group of deceased women with alcohol dependence syndrome, significant impairments in the proliferative activity of T-lymphocytes (CD3) and their subpopulation (CD4), as well as B lymphocytes (CD19) and natural killer cells (CD16) were found compared to the group of healthy individuals. Thus, in the control group, the percentage, and absolute values of CD3 were 60.37±4.2% and 1.04±0.05×106/l, and in women suffering from chronic alcoholism, they were statistically significantly lower - 49.1±3.1% and 0.42±0.08×106/l, respectively, p<0.01. The same tendency was found when comparing the values of T-helper cells (CD4) in the control group (44.2±2.9% and 0.76±0.13×106/l) and in deceased patients suffering from chronic alcoholism (33.7±4.6% and 0.28±0.23×106/l), p<0.01. Secondary immunodeficiencies of infectious and non-infectious origin in women (in particular, those formed in HIV/AIDS, alcohol dependence syndrome and their combination) are characterized by negative changes in the cellular and humoral components of the immune system, as evidenced by the presence of transient immunodeficiency, activation of cytolytic and auto aggressive reactions. As a result of these processes, systemic and organ pathology develops, in particular, weakening of the body's resistance to various infections and pathological changes in organs and tissues, which may be one of the links in the development of pathological processes in internal organs and tissues.

Debug app in snap?
I’m trying to snap an application that is build on the JUCE framework. It is a GUI app that makes DSP on sound from microphone or other sound input.
snapcraft goes well and makes a snap.
But when I
sudo snap install my_app_8.6.5.git_amd64.snap --devmode
and then
my_app
then my_app starts and then quits/crashes immediately.
If I do
which my_app
then I get
/snap/bin/my_app
But if I try to
gdb /snap/bin/my_app
then gdb claims /snap/bin/my_app does not have any debug symbols even though my_app is make(d)/compiled with Debug.
How then can I debug my /snap/bin/my_app ?
– Eigil
Great, Thanks for the reply !
Now, when I run
snap run --gdbserver my_app
it writes (numbers are different)
or use your favorite gdb frontend and connect to :33303
But if in Code::Blocks I select
Debug --> Attach to process...
and type in the number (33303 here) Code::Blocks writes
Attaching to program with pid: 33303 Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (Ubuntu 10.l-2ubuntu2) 10.1.90.20210411-git Attaching failed: pt race: No such process. Attaching to process 33303 Debugger finished with status 0
So that doesn’t work.
What is the best GUI to use with snap gdbserver ?
– Eigil
Unfortunately GDB isn’t something I use regularly so I can’t really answer what frontend might help best, however for the issue you’re having, I think you may be getting confused between attaching to a PID and connecting to a TCP port. Just for testing purposes I’d see if the regular GDB executable can connect, e.g:
gdb -ex="target remote 127.0.0.1:33303"
Hopefully someone else wiser in the ways of GDB might be able to assist you. I imagine codeblocks might have a way to connect to a GDB server via TCP, but I haven’t ever used it so I couldn’t be specific there, sorry.
I found gdbgui which looks promising. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

and the pressures of self-seeking interests. However, at the same time, as Fairbank wrote, “He was quick to oppose and resent any tendency of the superior administrative agency to interfere in the executive or ad- ministrative policies of the Bureau.” For the most part, because of the respect he commanded from all the Department heads under whom he served, he was remarkably free of any such interference.
In the actual day-to-day administration of the Bureau, the Chief could not be considered one of the great leaders of management science. He directed the Bureau mainly through individual conferences with a relatively few men in whom he reposed confidence and through memos often produced as a result of these individual conferences. Fairbank mentioned MacDonald’s administrative style:
"Conferences with all the division heads jointly were rare almost to the point of total ahsence of occurrence. In his last years in Washington he may have been persuaded that the idea of regular ‘staff’ meetings might he worthy of trial, hut after a few such ‘trials,’ his interest in the idea (never very keen) simply evaporated. . . . Mr. MacDonald was averse to the employment of most of the devices now so highly esteemed by so-called ‘management consultants.’ He had no interest in ‘Suggestion Boxes,’ or the offering of pecuniary rewards for employee suggestions. If there was overlapping of the responsibilities of the several divisions of the organization or lack of clarification of the definition of individual or organic duties, he didn’t worry much about it. As he seemed to have little or no concern about his own salary, he expected a similar avoidance of anything like a request for a raise on the part of every employee. Nothing would more certainly result in the consignment of any member of the organization to the MacDonald doghouse than to be caught agitating for an increase in pay. To paraphrase Lord Nelson’s famous order the simple rule was: The Bureau expects that every man this day will do his duty. And by and large, by golly, they did. The Bureau enjoyed an esprit de corps that many a ‘scientifically managed’ organization of these days couldn’t purchase with all the so-called incentives and rewards that the ingenuity of the doctors of management science can devise."
As head of the Bureau, Mr. MacDonald was called upon to participate as a speaker on many occasions, be it at a congressional hearing, a seminar, or an after dinner speech. Yet in 34 years of public speaking, the Chief never developed a reputation for an eloquent style, and it seems for good reason. Yet at all these occasions, though his style was not eloquent, it was, more importantly, effective. Again, as Mr. Fairbank commented,
"His public speeches, especially those before the AASHO were so heavily factual and dry as to impose a serious burden upon the attentiveness of the audience. These speeches he almost always wrote himself; and he often turned from his written text to interpolate remarks which seemed unnecessary and which usually caused both the speaker and the audience to lose the thread of what he had been saying. But when all this has been said the fact remains that he somehow left his hearers in both public and private audiences with a sense of his mastery of whatever the matter was that was under discussion. He was outstandingly effective in his relations with Congressional Committees and individual Congressmen and Senators, often by patient repetition of his recommendations and views converting to their support those who initially opposed or even ridiculed them."
The Chief retired from the Bureau of Public Roads in July 1951, but at the request of President Truman stayed on as interim head until March 31, 1953, when Francis V. duPont assumed the position. In his retirement, however, the Chief continued to work for better roads and general transportation improvement from his new position as distinguished research engineer of the Transportation Institute of Texas A & M College. He saw new challenges in filling the gaps that existed in the knowledge about transportation. Then, on April 7, 1957, the Chief quietly passed away.
His old friend, Pyke Johnson, gave a close, personal look at the man, Thomas H. MacDonald, in an article he wrote at the time of the Chief’s death.
A quiet and modest man, a man of few intimates, a man who found solace in Bertrand Russell, Dr. Toynbee, Erie Stanley Gardner, and A. Conan Doyle, with few writers in between ; a husband, a father, a chef, a photographer, a top engineer and administrator, a statesman who built an enduring monument to himself not so much in roads and bridges as in the lives of people. Few knew him. But those few knew him as one of the men of history, who with their associates, have profoundly affected the course of modern life. Thomas H. MacDonald—The Chief. 179 | WIKI |
Baidu unveils autonomous vehicle without steering wheel
BEIJING, July 21 (Reuters) - China's search engine giant Baidu Inc BIDU.O on Thursday unveiled its new autonomous vehicle (AV) with a detachable steering wheel, with plans to put it to use for its robotaxi service in China next year.
Cost per unit will drop to 250,000 yuan ($37,031.55) for the new model, compared with 480,000 yuan for the previous generation, Baidu said in a statement.
“This massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy tens of thousands of AVs across China," Baidu's chief executive Robin Li said at the Baidu World conference. "We are moving towards a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today.”
The new vehicle will possess autonomous Level 4 capabilities that need no human intervention, with 8 lidars and 12 cameras alongside the car. Lidars are detection systems, similar to radars, which use pulsed laser light rather than radio waves.
The company did not disclose the manufacturer for the new model.
Tesla's TSLA.O chief executive Elon Musk said in a conference with investors in April that the company aims to start mass production of its robotaxi without a steering wheel or pedals in 2024, and predicted that a robotaxi ride will cost less than a bus ticket.
Alphabet Inc's GOOGL.O Waymo also unveiled a robotaxi without a steering wheel last year, saying it planned to roll out its "fully autonomous vehicles" in the U.S. in the coming years.
However, automakers and tech companies around the world are still waiting for nods from regulators to deploy such vehicles in the real world.
Baidu, which launched its autonomous driving unit Apollo established in 2017, is among a number of companies in China striving to make mainstream use of autonomous vehicles a reality.
Its rivals in this area include Pony.ai, backed by Toyota Motor 7203.T and WeRide, which has received investment from Nissan Motor 7201.T and Guangzhou Automobile Group 601238.SS.
Apollo Go, Baidu's robotaxi service, has operated over 1 million across 10 Chinese cities since its launch in 2020 and Baidu said in April that it received permits to deploy robotaxis without humans in the driving seat on open roads in Beijing.

Furaribi
The furaribi is a fire yōkai that appears in Japanese classical yōkai pictures such as in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō by Sekien Toriyama, the Hyakkai Zukan by Sawaki Suushi, and the Bakemonozukushi by an unknown author.
Concept
In the Hyakkai Zukan and Bakemonozukushi among others, they are depicted as birds with a dog-like face and enveloped in fire. The one in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō is also a bird enveloped in fire, but the face on this one is reminiscent of Garuda of Hindu mythology.
Due to the lack of explanatory text, it is unclear what kind of yōkai all of these were depicting, but there is the theory that they are the incarnations of fire that are the result of the deceased who were not given a memorial and thus wandered the present world as spirits and over time changed in appearance into what is depicted.
Similar tales
Similar to the furaribi, at Isobezutsumi, the river basin of the Jinzū River in the town of Isobe, Toyama, Toyama Prefecture, there is the legend of the "buraribi" that appeared at the beginning of the Meiji era.
It was in the era of Tenshō. Sassa Narimasa, lord of the Toyama Castle, had a mistress named Sayuri. Sayuri was very beautiful and received much affection from Narimasa, resulting in distant relations between her and the okujochū (ladies in waiting) of the castle. One time, some of the okujochū falsely spoke of how Sayuri was committing adultery with a man other than Narimasa. Narimasa took this seriously, and killed Sayuri as a result of tremendous love-hate, hung her from a tree in Isobezutsumi, and sliced her into pieces. Sayuri's entire family was also executed for this. The innocent family of 18 who were about to be killed gave Narimasa a curse as they died.
It is said that after that, every night on this land there would appear atmospheric ghost lights that were called "buraribi" or "sayuribi", and if one calls out to this fire saying "Sayuri, Sayuri", a woman's severed head with disheveled hair would appear with a bitter expression. The fact that the Sassashi family lost to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in battle is also told to be the deed of Sayuri's vengeful spirit. | WIKI |
Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy In Atlanta
What Is Ozone?
Ozone gas was first discovered in the mid-19th century. Ozone is a colorless and odorless gas consisting of three atoms of oxygen that reduces the amount of harmful UV radiation to the earth’s surface. Ozone is naturally produced in the earth’s stratosphere by a two-step chemical process. The first stage of the process involves sunlight which breaks apart an oxygen molecule to form two separate oxygen atoms. The second stage involves each of these highly reactive oxygen atoms combining with an oxygen molecule to produce an ozone molecule (O3). These ongoing chemical reactions occur whenever solar ultraviolet radiation is present in the stratosphere.
What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is a treatment that infuses ozone into the body to increase oxygen levels. The first ozone generator was created in the 1800s. Medical ozone therapy became popular during World War I when doctors applied ozone gas to wounds to promotes the body’s natural disease-fighting power, reduce inflammation, and kill bacteria. For more than one hundred years, medical ozone has been used to treat medical conditions and disinfect medical supplies.The ozone therapy involves the following:
• Blood is drawn from a vein
• This blood is placed in a special container
• Ozone is infused into the drawn blood using a special ozone generator machine and oxygen tanks which generate ozone gas
• The drawn blood now filled with ozone is infused back into the body via an IV infusion
• Ozone is released into the body leading to increased concentration of oxygen which promotes cell health
Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Ozone acts as a powerful detoxifier that acts to attach and eliminate bacteria, fungi, parasites, mold, yeast, and virus. Ozone therapy may also assist our bodies in getting rid of toxic metals. It may stimulate the immune system to fight off infections and quiet an overact immune system associated with autoimmune diseases. Ozone therapy is used by many holistic healthcare providers to promote health and wellness.*

Exactly how to Create Your Automotive Electric Battery Last Longer
Making your auto electric battery final just as long as possible demands little bit greater than a little bit of focus. This consists of assessing the electric battery semi-regularly and avoiding deep discharges. Automotive battery maintenance
A common motor vehicle electric battery resembles a massive plastic package with two terminals. Inside, there are actually six partitioned cells consisting of metallic layers submersed in acid. Each cell produces 2.1 volts for a total amount of 12.6 volts.
The Electric battery’s Feature
The electric battery is the powerhouse of your vehicle, and it conducts numerous functions. It generates electric power and also retail stores it for make use of in the motor, lights, radiance connects as well as other applications. It additionally delivers several of its own electricity back to the electrical system to charge.
A battery generates energy with chemical responses that induce an electric potential difference between its terminals, which are usually described as posts. The current relies on the battery’s chemical make up, and the higher it is actually, the even more work it can possibly do.
For instance, if you steer your vehicle for five moments and after that playground it in the tone for hours, a common lead acid electric battery will deplete most of the beneficial lead ions near its electrodes. The ions that stay are going to be spread throughout the majority of the electrolyte, and their density will be actually considerably less than when they were actually near the electrodes, suggesting it won’t be actually able to offer as much present.
Deeper pattern batteries possess more thick lead layers than standard motor vehicle electric batteries, which enable all of them to save even more electricity and provide higher sustained volumes of electric energy. Nevertheless, they have limited discharge capacities, that makes them much less fit for uses like off-grid photovoltaic bodies as well as marine requests.
The Electric battery’s Products
If you want to work, an electric battery should possess the correct components. These are normally lithium-ion, cobalt-nickel as well as graphite, however additionally consist of copper, nickel and iron. These factors are actually not regularly on call, and a developing need for batteries is actually expected to position raising pressure on the availability of these raw products.
A standard lead-acid battery is actually based upon a collection of matching tissues. Each tissue includes sponge top layers that are actually submersed in an answer of top oxide and sulfuric acid (the electrolyte). Electrons relocate coming from the beneficial plate to the bad, making electric energy. As time go on, the battery will certainly degrade, as the chemical response takes its own cost.
The common life-span of a cars and truck battery relies on a number of variables, including neighboring temperature as well as steering behaviors. Nevertheless, even in best health conditions, the battery is going to eventually shed its potential to produce a current, as a result of to the way its chemical makeup weakens over time.
Analyst Donald Sadoway has actually lately cultivated an electric battery design that uses light weight aluminum as the electrode product. He began through looking at the table of elements, looking for an Earth-abundant steel that had the essential electrochemical properties. He finally decided on cobalt, the metallic made use of in the majority of lithium-ion batteries.
The Battery’s Style
A battery’s typical functionality is actually to provide power energy to begin an automobile’s motor. When working, it supplies electrical power to all the cars and truck’s power systems like illuminations, radio, glow connects and various other extras. Batteries have an inner building concept that’s made up of a series of lead grids immersed in electrolyte.
The electrolyte is actually an answer of one-third sulfuric acid and two-thirds water. When the ignition is turned on, it induces a set of chemical substance responses that release or even reenergize the battery. These chemical substance patterns may take place lots of times, fagging out home plates as well as decreasing cold cranking amplifiers. Deep-seated discharging– draining the battery below its own capability and after that recharging it– is actually the source of a lot of electric batteries’ early failings.
Generally, an electric battery has 6 cells that make around 12V. Each cell is made up of a group of top dioxide as well as lead plate components that are actually plunged in the sulfuric acid/water mix to make chemical reactions that help the electric battery release energy. Short, heavy terminals attach the positive and also negative plates within each cell to stop all of them coming from approaching and also short-circuiting.
The electric battery’s ion density account, which depends upon just how swift it is actually charged or released, confines the quantity of electrical power it can deliver. To make up for this restriction, electric battery components as well as packs possess a variety of sensors that keep an eye on tissue and component functionality, along with the overall heat of the pack.
The Electric battery’s Setup
A vehicle battery appears like a straightforward plastic block that links to metal terminals atop it, but there is actually a whole lot even more to the item than fulfills the eye. Inside the plastic exterior covering is actually a chemical answer of sulfuric acid and coatings of top as well as lead dioxide layers, which respond with the acid to generate electricity for starting the motor as well as powering various other documents like lights and also stereo systems when the automobile’s not running.
When it is actually time to acquire a brand new auto electric battery, try to find the right measurements and also kind for your automobile. A lot of electric batteries are noted with a team measurements amount, incurable arrangement and cold cranking amplifiers (CCA) or even ampere-hours (Ah) score. Matching the appropriate battery with your vehicle aids ensure correct function and shields versus damages caused through improper usage, like deep-seated discharging.
If you are actually substituting a battery on your own, make certain to use shatterproof glass and also rubber or even electrical-insulated handwear covers. The electric battery includes harsh acid as well as can cause major personal injury if it water leaks or even pants out. Also get rid of any sort of metallic jewelry that might enter exchange the electric battery’s terminals, which can likewise cause a.
When you’ve obtained the replacement, install it in the electric battery rack, making sure not to contact the positive as well as negative terminals with one another or everything crafted from metal, which may induce a trigger. Objective to raise the electric battery perpendicularly, and also certainly never drop it, which can harm the scenario or even spill over the battery acid.

Javascript Question
gulp watch not always watching during task
Gulp works almost great. It watches and runs tasks properly, except if it's in the middle of running a task, it won't always be watching the files related to that same task in order to run the task again when the last task is finished.
[08:30:51] Starting 'composer'...
composer task
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Warning: The lock file is not up to date with the latest changes in composer.json. You may be getting outdated dependencies. Run update to update them.
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
Process exited with code 0
[08:30:53] Finished 'composer' after 1.62 s
EDIT: don't mind the short time; this is just a bad example. The task I'm really running runs in 10-15s under which time it's realistic that I could make additional relevant changes and save.
This is triggered when editing the composer.lock file.
After having edited the composer.lock file and the task having begun running, on editing and saving composer.lock again during the time "composer task" is output,
Expected: the task to run again after it finishes
Actual: the task finishes and does not rerun to accomodate for the changes that happened since
I'm using gulp watch on Ubuntu.
Answer
It's not that gulp.watch() isn't watching when you run a task. Although there is a debounceDelay option in gaze that prevents identical events from firing within a certain time window it is so short that it's unlikely that you're running into it. You can try setting it to 0 just to be sure, but that might cause more problems than it solves.
The more likely cause is that orchestrator simply doesn't run a task if it is already running:
Orchestrator will ensure each task and each dependency is run once during an orchestration run even if you specify it to run more than once. [...] If you need it to run a task multiple times, wait for the orchestration to end (start's callback) then call start again.
I can in fact reproduce your problem by simulating a long running task using setTimeout():
gulp.task('task', function (done) {
setTimeout(done, 10000);
});
gulp.task('watch', function() {
gulp.watch('some_file.txt', {debounceDelay:0}, ['task']);
});
The only thing I can come up with to solve this is to manually track whether the task is already running and then schedule a rerun once the executing task has finished:
function runTask(taskName) {
var running = false;
var rerun = false;
return function() {
if (running) {
rerun = true;
}
running = true;
gulp.start(taskName, function() {
if (rerun) {
rerun = false;
gulp.start(taskName);
} else {
running = false;
}
});
};
}
gulp.task('task', function (done) {
setTimeout(done, 10000);
});
gulp.task('watch', function() {
gulp.watch('some_file.txt', {debounceDelay:0}, runTask('task'));

Tips For A Happy And Healthy Life
We Are What We Eat
We are what we eat and drink – both the mind and the body are affected by what we consume. When depressed or stressed, we often resort to ‘comfort foods’ such as biscuits, cakes and chocolate, or dull our inner pain through alcohol and other mind-altering substances. Such relief is only temporary and, in the long run, it can compound our problems by creating dependency, addiction and serious health challenges such as obesity, diabetes and heart or liver conditions.
Along with comfort foods, many dieticians recommend that we reduce or eliminate our consumption of what are often called the ‘four white poisons’ i.e. processed sugar, salt, flour and rice. Such foods have little nutritional value and generate a lot of acid in the body (cancer cells thrive in acid).
Ideally we also need to avoid animal products, not just for the benefit of animals and the environment but also for our own peace of mind. As animals are killed in a state of fear and tension, their flesh is filled with adrenaline, other toxic chemicals and negative vibrations which, when consumed by humans, do actually affect our mind as well as our body.
With regards drink, it is healthier to drink water rather than alcohol and caffeine-based drinks. The UK’s National Health Service advises drinking between six to eight glasses of fluid a day, including lower fat milk, sugar-free drinks, tea and coffee.
When considering these issues it is important not to feel guilty or bad about our struggle with food and drink. We are on a journey of self-discovery.
When we understand and deal with the underlying issues that drive our unhealthy consumption choices, we will find the strength and determination to look after ourselves in better ways.
In the meantime, we can be kind to ourselves and take small steps in the right direction. For example by putting one less spoon of white sugar in each cup of tea or coffee we drink. Gradually, over time, we will build up our confidence and self-discipline and resist the constant bombardments of the advertising industry.
How To Sleep Better
Good quality sleep is essential. Many of us do not sleep well, particularly women who are expected to be ‘super’ in all aspects of their busy lives. Some people find it difficult to get off to sleep, others wake up during the night worrying about things, or wake up early in the morning and cannot get back to sleep.
To help us sleep better we can:
• Remove the television from the bedroom. If we fall asleep with the television on, the sound of the programmes, which are usually of a sexual or violent nature late at night, will penetrate our subconscious and disturb our peace of mind
• Prepare mentally for going to bed by relaxing for 30 minutes beforehand. We can have a bath, listen to soothing music, read something light, do some gentle stretching exercises, massage ourselves
• Review the day and finish on a high note by thinking of something positive that happened during the day
• Avoid caffeine and other stimulants in the evening and instead drink warm water or chamomile tea
• Keep paper and pen by our bedside. If we wake up in the night worried about something we have forgotten to do, we can write it down and then relax and go back to sleep. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

* Comment "Non-notable based on sourcing" implies that the nominator didn't follow WP:BEFORE before calling for deletion, since a proper evaluation of notability is based on a search for sources at large, not only by examining the ones already provided in the article. Also, I don't find any of the language to be promotional, and, before recent rules went into effect, there was nothing unusual about people creating an account for the first time in order to create an article, and nothing wrong with that, especially given that such a person could have been editing anonymously for years. Largoplazo (talk) 04:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
* Correct. This was prodded and had two prod2s User:Randykitty User:Jack Frost User:Largoplazo which speaks for itself (the other editors I can ping are SPA creator, and SPA IPs (plus one other IP). This to me looks like clear promotionalism, which I refrained tagging as it's not overtly an advert, although just existing in WP is enough, and per WP:BOGOF I wish to counter this systemic bias. Notability isn't the only reason we can delete something, NOT advertising is also (nom reason 2), and we're WP:NOTBURO. The more finite resource we put into countering promotionalism, the less we get to work on non-promotionalism. I volunteer on the latter, as it improves this place.

* Weak delete. The current stub is neutral enough for my taste, I don't see much (if any) promotionalism, nor do I mind that this was created by a SPA editor. However, neither do I see much evidence of notability and a Google search does not render any independent reliable sources either. --Randykitty (talk) 05:57, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

A framework easily routing AppSync requests using AWS Lambda
Project description
appsync-router
WARNING - Version 4.0.0 is a breaking change from version 3.x.x. Please review the documentation before upgrading
A micro-library that allows for the registration of functions corresponding to AWS AppSync routes. This allows for cleanly creating a single AWS Lambda datasource without large numbers of conditionals to evaluate the called route.
Installation
pip install appsync-router
Basic Usage
from appsync_router import discrete_route, route_event
# Context is a TypedDict that makes access to
# the items passed to your Lambda function simpler
from appsync_router.context import Context
# Here we are telling the router that when the field "getItems"
# is called on the type "Query", call the function "get_items"
@discrete_route("Query", "getItems")
def get_items(context: Context) -> list:
return [1, 2, 3, 4]
def function_handler(event, context):
# simply route the event and return the results
return route_event(event)
NOTE - appsync-router is designed to be used as a Direct Invocation AWS AppSync datasource. If you put a request VTL template in front of it, you must pass in the WHOLE $ctx/$context object.
Route Types
Each route type has an overloaded signature allowing for simple declaration.
• discrete_route - This discretely routes to a named type and field
• multi_route - This routes to a set of named type/field combinations
• pattern_route - This routes to types/fields that match the type and field regex patterns provided
• glob_route - This routes to the types/fields that match the type and field glob patterns provided
Routing Events
As seen in the example above, the simplest form of event routing is to call route_event with only the event argument. This will do the following:
1. Determine the route for the event
1. If no route is found, raise NoRouteFoundException
2. If more than one route is found, use the first route found
2. Route the event if it is a single context, or map the event to the route if it is multiple contexts
Many times this will be sufficient. However, this behavior can be modified:
• Passing a default_route of type Route to the route_event method will call your default_route if no route is found
• Passing short_circuit=False to the route_event method will cause a MultipleRoutesFoundException to be raised in the case of multiple matched routes.
• Passing an executor of type concurrent.futures.Executor to the route_event method will cause all batch invocations (where the event has a list of contexts) to be executed using your executor.
Extensibility
You may extend the appsync_router with your own route types. Any routes that you create must extend from the appsync_router.routes.Route class.

David Allen Hoffman
David Allen Hoffman is an American mathematician whose research concerns differential geometry. He is an adjunct professor at Stanford University. In 1985, together with William Meeks, he proved that Costa's surface was embedded. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2018, for "contributions to differential geometry, particularly minimal surface theory, and for pioneering the use of computer graphics as an aid to research." He was awarded the Chauvenet Prize in 1990 for his expository article "The Computer-Aided Discovery of New Embedded Minimal Surfaces". He obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1971 under the supervision of Robert Osserman.
Technical contributions
In 1973, James Michael and Leon Simon established a Sobolev inequality for functions on submanifolds of Euclidean space, in a form which is adapted to the mean curvature of the submanifold and takes on a special form for minimal submanifolds. One year later, Hoffman and Joel Spruck extended Michael and Simon's work to the setting of functions on immersed submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds. Such inequalities are useful for many problems in geometric analysis which deal with some form of prescribed mean curvature. As usual for Sobolev inequalities, Hoffman and Spruck were also able to derive new isoperimetric inequalities for submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds.
It is well known that there is a wide variety of minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Hoffman and William Meeks proved that any minimal surface which is contained in a half-space must fail to be properly immersed. That is, there must exist a compact set in Euclidean space which contains a noncompact region of the minimal surface. The proof is a simple application of the maximum principle and unique continuation for minimal surfaces, based on comparison with a family of catenoids. This enhances a result of Meeks, Leon Simon, and Shing-Tung Yau, which states that any two complete and properly immersed minimal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, if both are nonplanar, either have a point of intersection or are separated from each other by a plane. Hoffman and Meeks' result rules out the latter possibility. | WIKI |

Introduction to Server Side Template Injection
Introduction to Server Side Template Injection
Welcome back to our cybersecurity journey. If you have been following our SQL Injection series, you are in for another exciting exploration today. We are diving into the world of Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI). Buckle up, and let’s jump in together.
Anyway, you can find our SQL Injection series and other interesting articles here.
Fundamentals of Template Engines and Templates
Firstly, it’s crucial to have understanding on template engines and templates.
What is template engines and templates?*
In web development, template engines are utilised to process templates, which are HTML files containing placeholders for dynamic content. These engines combine templates with data to produce fully rendered web pages. This separation of logic and presentation facilitates code reuse, ensures consistency, and improves scalability in web applications.
Basic Components of Templates
Templates consist of basic components that facilitate the insertion of dynamic content. These components include:
a. Variables
Variables serve as placeholders that are replaced with actual values during rendering. For instance, in the template below, variable {{ username }} might be rendered as John.
...
<h1>Hello, {{ username }}!</h1>
...
b. Expressions
Expressions allow for dynamic computation or manipulation of data. These expressions can include arithmetic operations, string concatenation, function calls and more. For instance, in the template below, expression {{ 2 + 2 }} would evaluate to 4.
...
<p>The result of 2 + 2 is: {{ 2 + 2 }}</p>
...
c. Control Structures
Control structures enable conditional logic and iteration within templates. These structure include if statements, loops, and iterators, allowing developers to control the flow of content generation based on certain conditions.
...
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<h1>Hello, {{ user.username }}!</h1>
{% else %}
<p>You are not a user, please sign up.</p>
{% endif %}
...
Overview of Common Template Engines
Next, let’s familiarise ourselves with some common template engines and their syntax differences.
a. Jinja2
Jinja2 is a popular templating engine for Python web development, inspired by Django. It offers a high level of flexibility and is widely used in frameworks like Flask and Django itself.
Syntax:
{% for item in items %}
<li>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
b. Handlebars
Handlebars is a logic-less templating engine for JavaScript, designed to build expressive templates efficiently. It’s commonly used in modern frameworks like Ember.js and Backbone.js.
Syntax:
{{#each items}}
<li>{{ this }}</li>
{{/each}}
c. ERB (Embedded Ruby)
ERB is a templating system for Ruby that embeds Ruby code into a text document. It’s commonly used in Ruby on Rails applications for generating dynamic HTML content.
Syntax:
<% items.each do |item| %>
<li><%= item %></li>
<% end %>
d. Smarty
Smarty is a template engine for PHP, designed to separate application logic from presentation logic. It provides a wide range of features for building dynamic web applications with PHP.
Syntax:
{foreach $items as $item}
<li>{$item}</li>
{/foreach}
It is worth noting that the above just some of the examples. There are many other template engines, such as Twig, Freemarker, and Mustache. Each of these engines has its own syntax, so it’s recommended to explore the documentation specific to each one.
Server-Side Template Injection
Now, let’s start our journey on the world of SSTI.
What is Server-Side Template Injection?
Server-Side Template Injection or SSTI is a specific example of template injection that occurs on the server side. It occurs when an application processes user inputs as templates on the server and evaluates them. If an attacker can inject malicious template expressions into ther server-side processing, they might gain the ability to execute code within the server’s context.
Example:
Consider a web application that has a template like below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Welcome</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, {{ username }}!</h1>
<p>Welcome to our website.</p>
</body>
</html>
The {{ username }} part is the placeholder that will be replaced with a username when the page is rendered. But what if attackers manage to manipulate the variable and inject something like {{ 7*7 }}? The possibilities become fascinating, and that’s where the adventure into SSTI begins.
What is the impact of SSTI?
The impact of SSTI can be severe and wide-ranging, posing significant risks to the security and integrity of web applications.
a. Remote Code Execution
SSTI vulnerabilities allow attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to running system commands, file manipulation, compromising accounts and potentially gaining full server control.
b. Data Leakage
Even if RCE is not possible, attackers can still leverage SSTI vulnerabilities to access sensitive information like database contents, configuration files and environment variables. This data can be exploited for further attacks.
How does SSTI looks like?
Enough theories, let’s illustrate this with a simple scenario from PortSwigger Academy.
Resources: PortSwigger: SSTI - File Deletion
Scenario:
Exploiting SSTI vulnerability in ERB template to delete file
This lab is vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection due to the unsafe construction of an ERB template.
To solve the lab, review the ERB documentation to find out how to execute arbitrary code, then delete the morale.txt file from Carlos’s home directory.
After gaining access to the lab, we were greeted with an e-commerce home page featuring various products.
However, upon attempting to view more details about the first product, we encountered a different behavior.
A GET request was made, using the message parameter, leading to the display of the message “Unfortunately this product is out of stock” on the home page.
Realising the potential for manipulation, we use Burp Suite Repeater for the interception and modification of request. With this, we could inject payloads into the message parameter to investigate further.
According to ERB documentation, content within an ERB template is treated as HTML, unless specified otherwise using special tags.
This <%= EXPRESSION %> tag is used to evaluate the given expression and directly output the result into the rendered template.
Hence, we utilise this syntax to create an expression containing a mathematical operation to verify if the payload is being executed. For this testing, we used this payload <%= 7*7 %>.
Request URL: https://burp-academy/?message=<%= 7*7 %>
Upon sending the request, we observed the result of our mathematical operation, 49, was displayed on the page. This indicates a potential server-side template injection vulnerability.
Further exploration into the Ruby documentation, we discovered that the system() can be used to execute arbitrary operating system commands.
To confirm our identity within the system, we constructed a payload using system("whoami"). The response confirmed that we were indeed ‘Carlos’, providing valuable insight to achieve the lab’s objective.
Request URL: https://burp-academy/?message=<%= system("whoami") %>
Continuing our exploitation, we utilised system("pwd") to determine our current directory, revealing that we were situated in Carlos’s home directory.
Request URL: https://burp-academy/?message=<%= system("pwd") %>
Then, we discovered the presence of a file named ‘morale.txt’ within the directory. This was confirmed by utilising the system("ls") command.
Request URL: https://burp-academy/?message=<%= system("ls") %>
Finally, to achieve the lab’s objective, we executed a payload to delete the ‘morale.txt’ file using system("rm morale.txt").
Request URL: https://burp-academy/?message=<%= system("rm morale.txt") %>
By successfully removing the file, we accomplished the lab’s objective.
How to prevent from SSTI vulnerabilities?
Lastly, let’s take a look on how to prevent our applications from SSTI.
a. Access control
A fundamental approach is to restrict access to template files, as open-access templates are easy targets for attackers.
By implementing strict rules that permit only developers and administrators to modify templates, we can reduce the risk of attacks.
b. Input sanitisation
Sanitising inputs is crucial to mitigate SSTI risks. Templates must validate input data, allowing only expected elements. Regular expressions can help to define allowed patterns.
However, input sanitisation has its limits, attackers may find ways to bypass it and potentially exposing vulnerabilities.
c. Sandboxing
Sandboxing offers a stronger defense than input sanitisation by creating a secure, isolated environment with restricted user actions. It prohibits access to risky functions or modules, minimising attack impact.
However, implementing sandboxing is complex, and attackers may exploit misconfigurations or attempt privilege escalation to bypass it.
d. Logic-less templates
A highly secure method involves employing logic-less templates, which separate the process of interpreting code from how it is displayed visually on a webpage.
For example, in Handlebars and Mustache, control flow statements rely on provided data, not executable code which reduces the risk of remote code execution and enhances security.
That concludes the first article in this series. We hope you have gained valuable insights from this post. Stay tuned for the next articles.
Thank you.

Rio Salado (Mexico)
The Río Salado, also Río Salado de los Nadadores, or Salado River, is a river in northern Mexico, a tributary of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo). Its basin extends across the northern portion of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas states.
It originates in the Sierra Madre Oriental in Coahuila and flows east-northeastward. It is joined by the Rio Sabinas in the reservoir created by the Venustiano Carranza Dam. The Salado flows southeast from the reservoir through northern Nuevo León and northwestern Tamaulipas, where it is joined by the Sabinas Hidalgo River, to join the Rio Grande in the Falcón Reservoir, at Rio Grande river kilometer 43.
Economic importance
The river is used mainly for agricultural and mining activity, especially for irrigation of cotton. Fishing has been increasing because some species have been introduced such as gizzard shad, largemouth bass and white bass, among others. Water lilies have also been introduced.
Environmental impact
The river faces a number of problems related to mismanagement. There is no system to regulate the exploitation of resources found there. | WIKI |

Abstract
Early identification of the abnormal fetal brain vascularization and blood flow is very important, because the deficient perfusion of the fetal brain may be related to a poor prognosis of the central nervous system (CNS) development. To assess the fetal brain vascularization and the blood flow in normal gestation, we measured the fetal brain vascularization and the brain blood flow in normal fetuses using three-dimensional (3-D) power Doppler ultrasound (US) and the quantitative 3-D power Doppler histogram analysis. This study was undertaken by a prospective and cross-sectional design. In total, 155 normal singletons with gestational age (GA) between 21 and 40 weeks were included. The 3-D power Doppler US and the quantitative 3-D histogram analyses were used to assess the fetal brain vascular indexes, i.e., vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization-flow index (VFI), in each case. Our results revealed that all the fetal brain VI, FI and VFI increased significantly with GA (all p < 0.001). In addition, the fetal brain VI, FI and VFI were all significantly correlated with the common fetal growth indices, such as biparietal diameter, occipitofrontal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, femur length and estimated fetal weight. Our study indicates that fetal brain vascularization and blood flow increase significantly with the advancement of GA as well as the fetal common growth indices during normal gestation. We believe our data may serve as a reference for further studies of the fetal brain blood flow in abnormal conditions.

Talk:free church
Another meaning?
According to the definition here, only a denomination can be a free church. But I've come to understand a free church as being an individual church that is not part of any denomination – so I suppose synonymous with nondenominational when applied to a church as opposed to an individual. It's what I've come to believe the term means when part of the name of a church. But puzzlingly, this sense doesn't seem to be in any of the online dictionaries I've checked.

General Motors to draw down $16 billion in credit, suspends 2020 outlook
General Motors said Tuesday it is "aggressively pursuing austerity measures" and intends to draw down $16 billion from its revolving credit facilities. The company called it a "proactive measure" to preserve financial flexibility. GM expects to have $15 billion to $16 billion in cash at the end of this month. In the wake of the announcement, GM shares were up more than 9% in early trading. The stock, which has a market value of $26.3 billion, had fallen 50% in 2020. "We are aggressively pursuing austerity measures to preserve cash and are taking necessary steps in this changing and uncertain environment to manage our liquidity, ensure the ongoing viability of our operations and protect our customers and stakeholders," CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. GM said its financial services arm, GM Financial, expects to end the first quarter with about $24 billion in liquidity and is managing below its target leverage ratios. The automaker is also suspending its 2020 outlook, citing the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. GM has closed all its North American factories until at least March 30. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

56 enclosing a few wretched idols of the most trumpery description. Strange it is, that men having so grand a shrine, so wonderful a temple, made by the Deity himself, in the midst of the sublimest portion of his creations, should disregard the fitness of the scene for that instinctive homage which the least religiously inclined person must pay to the mighty Author of the surrounding wonders, and stoop to offer adoration to the mishapen works of his own hands.
Though the distance from Kursalee to Jumnootree is only eight miles, the difficulties and dangers of the route render it a very arduous journey. From our last resting-place, Bhyram-ghati, we scrambled up and down, sometimes finding nothing but a notched tree for a path, and wandering backwards and forwards through the river, which was very cold, as either side offered the better footing; occasionally traversing the projecting stones arising from the midst of the stream. This devious way led us to a series of exceedingly beautiful cascades, the Jumna being in some places joined by tributary streams tumbling from immense heights, the precipitous masses of rock on either side attaining a still greater degree of nobleness and grandeur. Completely shut in by these mountain ranges, which rose abruptly on both sides of the narrowing stream, we could only catch glimpses of the snowy peaks beyond. The course of the river at this place is indeed a mere chasm cut in the rock, and worn by the action of the water in its continual flow. In some places the solid rocks on either side run up in a perpendicular height, rendering the opening as narrow at the top as at the base, and forming a dark pass, the foliage of the trees springing from clefts, and shallow beds of earth meeting at the summit. At each step the path became more difficult and laborious; deep pools obliged us to mount to the top of a precipice, and to leap down again from heights too steep to be mastered in any other way, while there was some danger of precipitation into the rapid waters boiling below. Then we clambered up loose fragments of a gigantic size, which seemed to have fallen from above purposely to block the way, and anon scrambled through a sort of sea of crumbling stones bedded in quag, and exceedingly difficult to pass, where the trees, occasionally laid along to serve as a pathway, are wanting.
SOURCE OF THE JUMNA.
By dint of untiring perseverance, and no small exertion of bodily strength, we at last found ourselves on the confines of eternal snow. As we approached Jumnootree, which is not accessible until the month of May, we found the river gliding under arches of ice, through which it had worn its passage, and at length, these masses becoming too strongly frozen to yield and fall into the current, the stream itself could be traced no longer, and, if not at its actual source, we stood at the first stage of its youthful existence. It is quite impossible to prevent a feeling of exultation from springing up in the mind, at the completion of a pilgrimage to a place so deservedly celebrated; an enterprise which few people have an opportunity of achieving, and still fewer the nerve to undertake. We had deemed it impossible that the awful grandeur of the preceding scene could have been heightened, yet standing on the snow which now completely covered the bed of the river, and beholding it from the place whence it emerged, we were as much struck with the sublimity of the landscape, as if we had come upon it suddenly and without previous preparation. The glen is not more than thirty or forty feet in width, and the rocks on either side are of the noblest dimensions, and crowned with dark luxuriant foliage, while the impenetrable region beyond—solemn, majestic, and wonderfully beautiful—seems abso- | WIKI |
Why Shares of Synchronoss Technologies Tumbled Today
What happened
Shares of cloud-based software provider Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ: SNCR) slumped on Wednesday after the company disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the audit committee of the board of directors had concluded that its financial statements for 2015 and 2016 should be restated. Synchronoss stock was down 10% at 11:45 a.m.
So what
On April 27, Synchronoss announced that its first-quarter results would fall well short of its previous guidance. The company also announced that CEO Ronald Hovsepian, who was CEO of Intralinks before it was acquired by Synchronoss, and CFO John Frederick were stepping down, with founder Stephen Waldis taking over as CEO.
On May 15, Synchronoss announced that it was delaying its first-quarter earnings report because management needed more time to comply with internal controls and to review certain aspects of the company's financial statements. Synchronoss didn't identify the Intralinks acquisition as a transaction that the audit committee was reviewing, but the timing of Hovsepian's departure is unlikely to be a coincidence.
The result of the review, as disclosed in Wednesday's filing, was the discovery of errors concerning revenue recognition in connection with certain licensing transactions. The company expects the revenue impact of the correction of these errors for 2015 and 2016 to be no more than 10%. The corrections aren't expected to impact cash flows or result in customer refunds.
Now what
Synchronoss didn't provide a date on which it plans to file restated financial statements for 2015 and 2016, and issue its first-quarter report, only saying that these items would be filed as soon as practicable. It's unclear at this time what role the Intralinks acquisition plays in these restatements.
Shares of Synchronoss are now down about 78% over the past year, battered in the wake of these revelations. Investors are showing no patience for accounting shenanigans.

Quebec signs weed supply agreements with six Canadian suppliers
April 11, 2018 / 1:44 PM / in 10 minutes Quebec signs weed supply agreements with six Canadian suppliers Nichola Saminather 2 Min Read
TORONTO, April 11 (Reuters) - Hydropothecary Corp, Canopy Growth and Aphria Inc are among six companies that have signed agreements with Quebec’s liquor board to supply the province with marijuana when Canada legalizes its recreational use this year, the companies said in separate statements on Wednesday.
MedReleaf Corp, Aurora Cannabis and private equity firm Privateer Holdings-backed Tilray Canada are the other companies to sign the deal to supply the province’s cannabis board, which will be created as a subsidiary of the liquor board to oversee marijuana sales.
The companies will supply as much as 62,000 kg (136,687 pounds) of marijuana in total to the province in the first year. Most of the agreements are for at least three years.
Hydropothecary would be the biggest supplier, with a five-year agreement and agreed sales of 100,000 kg in the first three years. The province plans to open 20 government-run stores upon legalization.
Canada’s senate is set for a final vote on legalizing marijuana on June 7, with sales expected to start in the fall. Provinces, including Quebec and Ontario, plan to open government-run stores, while others such as Alberta and Saskatchewan will allow private ones. British Columbia plans to have both.

Project Proposal
The main objective of this proposal is increase the Buddypress’ user experience, by suggest interesting things related to him tastes. Basically BP’s (or MU’s) will keep in track about the user reads most, where he commented more, about what he usually writes, what tags he used most, and so forth, in order to know more about the user.
Then in a near future, after day of weeks of using a BP installation the system should be able to suggest him things as:
1. Which users share the same tastes.
2. Where he should comment,
3. What he could find interested to read
4. While he’s writing suggest tags based on the context.
5. If the user has not idea about a subject to write, he could see what’s the folk is writing (text clustering, as Google News does).
6. Other ideas related to this subject are very welcome.
Since two years ago, after I’ve read the paper http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/68861.html I’ve been really interested in Text classifications, then I read more papers (and some books) and I hooked up with this interesting subject plus unsupervised learnings, learning from user input. I’ve created some small projects as proof-of-concepts:
* http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4236.html
* http://www.languess.com/
* And now days writing a PHP wrapper for the well known libtextcat (http://github.com/crodas/phplibtextcat/tree/master).
Schedule of Deliverables
What are the milestones and deliverables for your project?
The project would be divided into two big stages:
1. Designing patterns, creating base classes with common functions. 1 week.
2. Start coding Social algorithm to suggest friends, suggest potential interesting blog posts, and others request by the folks, Automattic or the mentor. 2 Weeks
3. Start coding the Text processing algorithm, it would include:
1. Unsupervised learning (a.k.a Text clustering). 2 Weeks
2. Supervised learning, which means generate features (n-grams, words) from text, the associate to metadata (text, categories, tags) for future reuse. 2 Weeks
4. Optimization, the project should run from shared hosting to large clustering of servers, this means that the project should be thinking to run in several times, saving the actual state (due Apache Timeout), and be able to run from several machines at the same time (a few of data partition, and parallel processing). After the midterm.
The item 2 and 3 would be done in parallel. The goal for the midterm is get everything working, and then optimize and create scalable API. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Rh same character, had before been erected in England. Its novelty struck the minds of all who beheld it with wonder and admiration.
It was natural that such a building should excite emulation, and the lesson which it taught bore fruit in some of the important erections which quickly followed it. Among the earliest of these were the more easterly portions of the same cathedral, the east end of Chichester, and the choir and east transept of Lincoln. After the completion, by William of Sens, of the choir and a portion of the east transept of Canterbury, the master, having received injuries in a fall from the scaffolding, relinquished the work and returned to France. He was succeeded by another William, said to have been an Englishman.
It is difficult to distinguish with precision the beginning of the work of the second William. His whole work was, for the most part, a mere carrying-out of the original design of William of Sens. A few round abaci occur in the crypt and on the east side of the transept, which are probably the work of the second William; everywhere else the square abaci and the mouldings of the original design are retained, as well as the French forms of pointed arches.
The Cathedral of Chichester was, like Canterbury, originally a Norman structure of the end of the eleventh century. It was extensively damaged by fire in the year 1186, and immediately thereafter repairs were begun which involved the entire rebuilding of the two easternmost bays (Fig. 72). At the same time the whole church, including these two bays, was vaulted with quadripartite vaults having transverse and diagonal ribs, but no longitudinal ribs, which last are usually wanting in the early pointed vaults of England. These ribs interpenetrate at their springing, and thus are gathered upon a single round abacus which covers a triple group of capitals. They receive no support from the lower piers, but their triple vaulting shafts, which are slender and closely grouped, are sustained by corbels placed just above the capitals of the lower piers. The lower pier (section, Fig. 73) consists of a | WIKI |

Servers: Java Daemons and Servers
Java Daemons and Servers A server is a daemon but a daemon is not necessarily a server? I think so. I think all a daemon is, is a process that runs in the background, meaning no user interface. You start it up, it hides, runs and does its thing. A server does the same thing but accepts connections from clients which request it to do things for them. The server then does as requested if it can and responds to the client with details, data or files. A server’s user interface is the client itself though actually, they can have admin user interfaces that are web or GUI based. They usually do not have user interfaces but are simply configured, started and stopped. If a java daemon(server) is started then in a process list you will see the Java VM instead of the actual Java class name. If ...

Why Smoking Is a Bad Habit
Smoking is a hard habit for many people to break 2. A cigarette is perfect with a cup of coffee, tea or alcoholic drink. It eases stress and worry.

John Lewars
John Lewars (1769–1826) was an excise officer and land surveyor. He was one of Robert Burns's colleagues and friends during his Nithsdale and Dumfries days. Lewars moved with his sister Jessie Lewars in around 1793 to a house in Millhole Brae (now Burns Street) that lay immediately opposite that of Robert Burns in Dumfries. Jessie Lewars was a very close Burns family friend and helped the family by nursing Robert in the days leading up to his death, doing the domestic chores and caring for the children.
Life and character
John's father, also John Lewars, had been a supervisor of excise in Dumfries until his death on 22 April 1789. Mary and Jessie were the sisters of John Lewars junior. Mary married a local builder, William Hyslop.
In 1799 Lewars married Barbara Howe of Gretna and the couple had two children.
Lewars died at Ryedale Cottage, Troqueer, aged 57. He was buried in St Michael's cemetery in Dumfries, close to the original burial place of Robert Burns, later the lair of Mrs Agnes Eleanor Perochon, daughter of Frances Dunlop.
Association with Robert Burns
Burns, ten years the senior of Lewars, described Lewars as ".. a particular friend of mine" and " .. a young man of uncommon merit".
It is likely that Burns composed the following verses in 1796 in response to one of Lewars' love affairs. 'Woods' is unidentified, although John Syme (1755 - 1831) - a mutual friend, wrote on the poet's holograph manuscript that she was an assistant to Miss McMurdo at a local girls boarding school. The poem has Lewars bewitched by the young women and his heart is stolen and Burns links this the heroines supernatural powers. Lewars was also an admirer of Jean Lorimer, Burns's 'Chloris'.
Burns added a comment "A poor man ruined and undone by Robbery and Murder. Being an aweful WARNING to the young men of this age, how they look well to themselves in this dangerous, terrible WORLD."
After Robert Burns's death Lewars undertook many of the essential tasks, writing letters to friends and relatives informing them of the poet's death. Lewars' letter to Mrs Dunlop, written on the day following the poet's death, the 22 July 1796, contains the only evidence that Frances had at last replied to Burns's many unanswered letters.
"Madam, At desire of Mrs Burns I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and at same time to inform you of the melancholy and much-regretted event of Mr Burns's death. He expired on the morning of the 21st., after a long and severe illness. Your kind letter gave him great ease and satisfaction, and was the last thing he was capable of perusing or understanding. The situation of his unfortunate widow andfamily of most promising boys, Mrs Dunlop'sfeelings and affection for them will much easier paint than I can possibly express, more particularly when Mrs Dunlop is informed that Mrs Burns's situation is such that she is expected to ly-in dayly. I am certain that a letterfrom Mrs Dunlop to Mrs Burns would be a very great consolation, and her kind advice most thankfully received."
Lewars also wrote to William Nicol to inform him of Burns's death. Nicol responded at length after a delay, caused by illness.
The Jean Murdoch and Janet Anderson Incident
On 17 May 1792 Lewars and Robert Burns had been drinking into the early hours and decided to clear their heads with a walk beside the Nith. They walked along the Waterside footpath, now Waterloo Street in Dumfries. This path passed doors used by domestic servants and tradesmen. At 5am Jean Murdoch, servant to Wellwood Maxwell was washing clothes with Janet Anderson in a wash house at the foot of Maxwell's garden. Lewars spotted the girls, hammered on the door and upon the women refusing to unlock the door he put his shoulder to it and entered the wash house. Lewars became abusive when the women told him to leave, uttering obscene language and upon Jean threatening Lewars with a container of boiling water, Lewars threw a crockery vessel full of soap suds that hit Jean. Lewars then physically attacked Jean, scratching and bruising her left arm, neck and breast. When Jean asked Janet to fetch Wellwood, Lewars knocked her head against a wall and threatened to duck them both in the cauldron of boiling water. Burns, who had been standing in the lane, asked the women who the house owner was and managed to get Lewars into the lane, begging the women not to report what had happened.
Lewars was charged with "crimes of a heinous nature" and was defended against the charges by Francis Shortt, Town Clerk of Dumfries. The case was abandoned and Lewars afterwards led a blameless and totally respectable life.
Lewars joined Robert Burns in the ranks of the Royal Dumfries Volunteers, enrolling at their second meeting in January 1795. John Syme, Burns and Lewars were part of the Second Company of the volunteers.
The Rosamond Incident and Excise Duties
Lewars, aged twenty, joined the Excise as a gauger at Linlithgoe on 26th December 1789. In 1799 Lewars was transferred to the lst Itinerancy, Burns' old circuit, involving some two hundred miles per week on horseback. Records also reveal that Lewars was reprimanded in 1795 with no reason given. Lewars, Burns and Walter Crawford were three Excise Officers involved in the Rosamond incident on 29 January 1792. This 100 ton schooner was used by smugglers along the shallow waters of the Solway and after becoming grounded Lewars and Crawford were dispatched to Dumfries to fetch assistance in the form of more dragoons. The ship's cargo was intact and the story is that Burns purchased four four-pound carronades at the ship's sale and attempted to send them to the French army. Joseph Train is said to have obtained documents pertaining to the incident from Lewars' widow and he passed them to Sir Walter Scott. Those written by Lewars detailing the carronade story have not been recovered however a search of the Abbotsford archives revealed a ship's inventory written by Lewars, listing the sails, spars, rigging and furnishings, with a brief summary of the amounts realised in the auction.
When Burns was serving as an Acting Supervisor of Excise Lewars covered Burns stead and Adam Stobie covered Lewars' division.
Lewars in circa April 1792 appeared on a list of Excise Officers that were ranked as being above average ability. Lewars colleagues, Robert Burns, Walter Crawford and William Penn were also annotated as belonging to this category.
In 1793 Walter Crawford was divorced by his wife and testimony about his promiscuity was given by Lewars and a colleague, John Rankine.
After leaving the Excise Lewars then returned, apparently as a relief supervisor at Kincardine on Forth in 1817, Linlithgow in 1817, Dunkeld in 1818, Inverary in 1818, Montrose in 1819 and finally Dumfries from 1820 to 1824 when he retired on a pension of £160 per annum.
Land Surveyor and farming
In 1807, after leaving the excise, he rented Lauder Farm at Caerlaverock, however by 1817 he had returned to work for the Excise. John Syme described Lewars as a Land Surveyor. It was common amongst excisemen to have a second job and it seems that Lewars augmented his excise income by undertaking surveying work. A manuscript in Dumfries Burgh Records is recorded as a "Proposal by J. Lewars for publishing a map of the Town and Borough Roads of Dumfries, 1796 / 16 May 1796. Read in Council to lye on the table." A plan of the River Nith dated 1808 is held by National Library of Scotland. | WIKI |
