How often should I have ear wax removal?
Do you wonder, “how often should I have ear wax removal?” The answer is often dependent on your ears and how they behave.
Your ears are constantly producing ear wax. As a result many people need to have their ears cleaned on a regular basis.
The amount of ear wax you produce, the physical characteristics of your ears, the environment you typically work or live in, and even the weather can influence how often your ears need cleaning.
A discussion with your ear health practitioner during your first visit will help to establish a time-frame for your next appointment.
Ear wax is completely normal
Ear wax or cerumen production is a normal and healthy function. It protects your ears from foreign invaders. And it can stop or slow down dirt, bugs, water and anything else that might try to make a dash towards your ear drum.
Typically ear wax is soft and sticky and as it migrates out of your ear it dries and becomes flaky. When everything is working as nature intended, ear wax will come out on its own with normal skin migration. The skin in your ear canal is like a conveyor belt. Your ear wax is constantly hitching a ride out of your ear on that conveyor belt.
Some people produce too much ear wax
Sometimes your ears overproduce ear wax and it can’t migrate out fast enough. Or you might have a small ear canal which may obstruct ear wax from exiting . Hair growing in or around our ears can also pose a problem for ear wax trying to escape. There are other factors, but these three reasons are common contributors to ear wax build-up and impaction.
The degree to which your ear wax is overproduced, or slowed down from exiting your ears is unique to you. So there is no one size fits all answer to the question, “How often should I have ear wax removal done?”
For some people it is once a year, and for others it is four times a year. The good news is your ear nurse will help you figure out how often your ears need cleaning.(From:Ear Health)

Push Buttons in Certain Order
I want to push buttons in a column of a table in a specific order, first where a specific row contains A then B then C is that possible?
Not actually alphabetically because I realize I can sort the table how I need it and then the push buttons will go top to bottom. If this is the only way to go about it then is there a way to sort columns based on matches or would I just maybe add a formula column with a numbering scheme and then sort on that. (i.e. Column = Dog, 1, Column = Cat, 2, 3)
Thanks!
:wave: Hey there!
Test this out and hopefully it gives you some ideas. All formulas and explanations are inside the doc. There are definitely other ways to do it, but you can essentially wrap your actions inside a button using RunActions() which will specify the specific order in which they are pressed

Scott,
Thanks for the quick reply. This was close but I forgot to mention a fairly big hurdle. My table completely reset and changes on a daily basis. My order is not necessarily A, B, C but more like press all A’s then all B’s then all C’s, without know in advance how many of each their are.
I think a couple of hidden columns that help with sorting is probably the best bet I just don’t like how often I use that as a crutch, my tables are riddled with extra columns.
In that case, you could probably do something like the following
RunActions(buttonTable.filter(letterColumn="A").button,
buttonTable.filter(letterColumn="B").button)
Essentially saying - “Hey Coda, go find every button in my table where the letterColumn is A and press it. After that is done, go find every button in my table where the letterColumn is B and press that.”
That’s gonna work! On mobile at the moment but will try it in a bit and circle back. Thanks Scott! Now I just need to solve this lookup of a multi select from a multi select problem….
Just thought of a better way (if you are working with a data set that could be sorted such as numbers, strings of text alphabetically, or dates):
[Buttons in Order].Letters.Sort().FormulaMap([Buttons in Order].Filter(Letters=CurrentValue).Button)
I reset my embedded document with a new green button that utilizes this method. Should give you some thoughts to work with. I can a think of a few other ways to get it done but difficult providing direction with a shared doc or exact use case.
Hopefully it helps though!
Just got done making my changes and your previous suggestion worked a charm. I may add this nested within the last one. I basically have text based categories with priorities “High” “Medium” “Low”. The first solution addresses that and then what you’ve just provided should allow me to sort within to prioritize dates.

JP Morgan's Tusa: GE is not 'telling the whole story' about power biz
General Electric's power business is still struggling, but the company is sugar coating this in communications with investors, according to a top analyst at J.P. Morgan. "We believe a full accounting of the situation with a closer look at the data, even a rudimentary review, supports our view that GE is indeed losing market share in a stable" heavy-duty gas turbine market, J.P. Morgan analyst Stephen Tusa said in a note to investors. "We see nothing here to change our negative view on Power, more so evidence of a company that appears to manage to headlines rather than on-the-ground fundamentals," Tusa added. The analyst gained a wide following on Wall Street for his early warnings on GE's stock decline, beginning nearly three years ago. Tusa's notes, especially when J.P. Morgan adjusts its GE estimates, often move the company's stock. His analysis of GE's power business focused on the company reporting 4.5 gigawatts in orders for heavy gas turbines in the first quarter. Tusa said this is well above what competitors reported. Tusa said management explained the discrepancy by saying "there were several 'partner orders' thatdon't go reported in units that bridge the gap. " "GE's 4.5 GW order number has generated a buzz across a Street consensus hungry for positive data points," Tusa said. "We believe that the headlines do not tell the whole story." Here is how Tusa broke down the total reported units sold versus the "actual externally ordered" turbines last quarter. "Beyond this cut of the data, however, the dynamics here raise concern around communications from a company that continues to get material benefit of the doubt around credibility, though appears to us to be stopping short of telling the whole story," Tusa said. J.P. Morgan's analysis comes even after CEO Larry Culp told investors in March that GE's power business "is in a serious turnaround mode." Culp also told CNBC that GE has "a number of problems we need to work through this year," adding that "this is the year that we share with the world what those issues are." The company did not return a call for comment. GE shares slipped 0.87% Wednesday morning from Tuesday's close of $10.32 a share. J.P. Morgan has an underweight rating and a $5 price target on GE's stock. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Areas: European Migrant Crisis
Overall, this article is very well-written and informative. In regards to my practice experience, it will give me insight into the larger issue of the migrant crisis as a whole. By understanding the roots of the crisis and how/why it has been perpetuated, I will be able to better engage with the current events related to the migrant crisis and how the EU is trying to mitigate the crisis.
It covers a lot of material and relays a lot of facts about the ongoing Migrant Crisis in Europe. However, this article is very statistics heavy. The numbers are certainly important and using them to relay facts certainly keeps this piece rather impartial, but doing so also fails to contextualize the ongoing crisis. The humanity behind it is lost. Because this piece is so number heavy though, it is a rather neutral article. No bias really stood out to me in particular but the lack of information on certain perspectives did raise a flag to me. In particular, the article fails to address the particular ongoings for the refugees. The article does not present any "refugee perspective" but rather everything is shown through the lens of the EU. Some things that might be worth including are the scenarios faced by refugees while migrating to Europe. For example, detailing the path to asylum would be a worthy topic in this article. The article already takes into account several of the "most common routes" but the details are lacking. They reference many of the routes but do not explain the course of such routes. I do not think that each route needs to be explained in full detail but I do think that the general route to safety that these migrants face would be a good way to include a refugee perspective. In doing so, there rises an opportunity to address the obstacles that are otherwise glossed over in this article; such as crime, violence, persecution, and health among others.
Also, I think that adding a section in reference to interventions in the European Migrant Crisis would be useful. Everything cited here is highly politicized and government centralized but there are many ongoing efforts to relieve the crisis that are NGO-based and supported. By creating a dialogue about these cases as well, there could allow room for different perspectives to arise on the combatting of the crisis.
Additionally, most of the article's sources are those of newspapers and magazines--citing little to no scholarly, proved information. A lot of the information, especially regarding the political debates surrounding this issue are corroborated with news reports, and in particular, US news reports. Although the 'facts' appear to be impartial (especially because they are heavily number-based) they are bound to have a generally partial approach because of the fact that they are coming from primarily Western news sources. On a good note, however, there is an abundance of citations to more-or-less relevant resources while suggests that there was grounded research going into the topic at hand. This piece could definitely benefit from more scholarly articles and formal reports.
The article also does not present much about those migrants faced with "forced displacement". They reference that these peoples are included in the migrant population but does not indicate any different in migration proceedings for them. This would also be worth looking into more I think.
This article is related to numerous WikiProjects of interest. All of them are region-based including nations throughout Europe, the Middle East, and some in Africa. Overall, the article is rated C-Class and of mid to high-level importance.
Sectors: Refugee Health
This article is definitely more of a work-in-progress. It is important to my practice experience for several reasons--in particular, during my practice experience I want to explore the ways in which I can better alleviate health concerns and/or support ongoing health initiatives. In fact, I hope to implement my own research on health literacy amongst refugee children. This article touches on the health outcomes faced by the majority of refugees but fails to truly delve deep into them.
Firstly, the section on "Cultural Competence" i find to be very distracting and hard to navigate. It's contents focus on the importance of interventionists cultural competence without citing reliable sources for these claims. It is definitely suggesting an important concept when addressing refugee health but it doesn't do it in a reliable or properly-corroborated manner. It appears very partial to a certain approach and does not give a grounded reasoning for that presentation in the first place.
Overall, however, the rest of the article remains rather neutral. Though, there is not substantial information presented. The article touches on several different areas of "refugee health" but does not delve into the origins, relevance, implications, and/or outcomes of them. I want to further explore driving forces behind health issues for refugees and explore the ongoing efforts and potential for other interventions. There is a clear lack of in-depth analysis of the ongoing health crises throughout refugee populations.
Furthermore, the content has very limited citations. Though the citations that are presented come almost entirely from neutral and scholarly sources. But on the whole, citations are lacking. There are many claims (such as the cultural competence material) that do not have much evidence or support. This needs to be addressed and there needs to be stronger evidence in those cases. The lack of citations can also be credited to the lack of relevant material and information. Like aforementioned, there needs to be more substantial information regarding health outcomes etc which will then likely result in a lot more credible sources presented as well.
Also addressed in the Talk page, the article should present more case-specific scenarios depending on different refugee crises (ie European, Brazil, etc). There appears to be little to know differentiation amongst the different health obstacles faced by refugees in this articles.
The article is rated C-class of Low importance, however I think its importance could increase with more substantial and strongly supported information. It is related to a few WikiProjects including Medicine, United Nations, and Human Rights. These are all very relevant and this should be an important focus for such projects but unfortunately the information presented is lacking quite a bit.
Like I've mentioned countless times above, I think this topic is extremely important but is just not presented in the most educated manner. My experience in GPP has made me think more critically about such presentation of information and I think I would wake on a more in-depth lens when approaching the topic so as to show purpose and reason for intervention in the issues encompassed by refugee health.
NGO Interventions and Relief Work in the European Migrant Crisis + Obstacles faced by Refugees
''Khallaf, Shaden. “The Syrian Refugee Crisis in the Middle East.” Land of Blue Helmets: The United Nations and the Arab World, edited by Karim Makdisi and Vijay Prashad, 1st ed., University of California Press, Oakland, California, 2017, pp. 359–371. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1fq9w0g.22. ''
This chapter from the book Land of Blue Helmets details the role of the United Nations in the refugee crisis. It depicts the current landscape of the refugee crisis and its implications on an international level. Khallaf cites the different capacities in which UNHCR has been of aid in both Europe as well as within the Middle East. He goes on to detail the path forward—objectively for the most part. Khallaf suggests that the collaboration between UNHCR, on-the-ground local initiatives, and refugees themselves have opened up new opportunities to mitigate the suffering associated with migration and displacement. I will use this source to give insight on the collaborative forces working to alleviate the migration crisis—both for geopolitical reasons as well as humanitarian. I want to include the balance between the two so as to sustain a neutral, objective viewpoint when portraying the relief efforts.
''Robson, Laura. “The Refugee Regime.” States of Separation: Transfer, Partition, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1st ed., University of California Press, Oakland, California, 2017, pp. 35–64. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1m3p23t.7. ''
This chapter expands on the humanitarian services that were presented in Khallaf’s book. Robson utilizes this space to give insight on the partnerships between the state, the private sectors, and the general public when approaching refugee crises as a whole. She outlines “the rhetoric” of aid and its international presence both within the context of the refugee crisis as well as in general through historic and current examples. I want to use this source as more of a contextual basis for aid work within refugee populations and how it can be reflected within the European Migration Crisis. It also sets of groundwork for assimilation and the “mechanics of nationalization” amongst refugees and that is an area I would like to flesh out a little more in the context of European Asylum and Migration.
''Dickinsen, Elizabeth. “Shadow Aid to Syrian Refugees.” Middle East Report, no. 272, 2014, pp. 36–42. JSTOR, JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/24426480. ''
This article presents the active efforts of the UN, Oxfam, Save the Children, and other relief organizations working to alleviate the struggles faced by refugees within Europe and throughout the Middle East. Dickinsen dissects the need for such intervention and the role that it has played in the context of camps, rehabilitation, and asylum. She details this idea of “Shadow Aid”—the system operating outside of the government agencies. I want to use this source to reflect on the local, on-the-ground insights and initiatives to mitigate the dire circumstances of the crisis. This will not only give insight on the ongoing work but it will also open up a lens for refugee perspective in their approaches to the crisis they face.
''“Obstacle Course to Europe.” Medecins Sans Frontieres, Dec. 2015. ''
I want to include this ‘non-scholarly’ report because it gives very strong and clear insight on the path to asylum that many of the refugees face. It details the whole migration and the obstacles that are faced along the way. I think this is extremely important because as aforementioned, there is little to no refugee-perspective in the Wiki article and bringing light to the circumstances which they are actively facing could open up a new door for discussion.
''Geddes, Andrew. The politics of migration and immigration to Europe ''
This book contextualizes the roots of migration and provides historical context as well. Giving this background will give a foundational understanding to build out concepts and understand both the European politics and the Refugee POV.
Health Literacy and Non-Communicable Diseases
''Wångdahl, Josefin, et al. BMC Public Health, BioMed Central, 2014, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195944/. ''
This study assessed the context of health literacy amongst refugee populations and its impact on the population as a whole. A cross-sectional study conducted amongst refugees in Sweden, found that 60% of those assessed had inadequate functioning health literacy and 27% of them had inadequate comprehensive health literacy. The study concluded that health literacy should be taken into consideration when assessing refugee health and that more research is needed to assess the current dynamics and develop strategies to overcome the gaps in health literacy amongst refugees. This is a concept that is not discussed in the Refugee Health wiki article and is something that is definitely worth being explored. Generally speaking, health literacy has become an increasingly important component of patient care and health outcomes. This is something that I want to further explore when I am working with the refugee populations and I want to begin by assessing the information (or lack thereof) that already exists.
''Sethi, Stephen, et al. Global Health: Science and Practice, Global Health: Science and Practice, 27 Sept. 2017, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5620345/. ''
This research looked into the presence and perpetuation of NCDs amongst displaced Syrian populations—specifically in Lebanon. The study assesses the causes of NCDs and the sustaining reasons for suffering and mortality associated with NCDs specific to Syrian refugees. It also presents potential interventions that can better support these refugee communities in overcoming the complications and consequences of NCDs. The findings show statistical significance in improving refugee health when it comes to non-communicable diseases and provides the groundwork for additional research and intervention in this field. I want to incorporate this article’s findings to shed light on the prevalence of such health conditions and the importance/usefulness of specific interventions.
''Doocy, Shannon, et al. “Prevalence and Care-Seeking for Chronic Diseases among Syrian Refugees in Jordan.” BMC Public Health, BioMed Central, 31 Oct. 2015, bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-015-2429-3. ''
Similar to the previous article, this work in BMC Public Health assess the status of chronic illnesses amongst displaced refugees in Jordan. It assesses the causes and management of the illnesses. In doing so, Doocy et al present compelling finding on both the prevalence and the means for intervention amongst displaced refugee populations. I want to use this article to draw parallels with Sethi et al. and objectively present to health statuses amongst refugees in regards to NCDs as well as present feasible and promising intervention measures. By adding these insights to the article, it opens room for discussion regarding the path forward for refugee health and the importance of particular conditions and interventions amongst this population.

Migrant Motives and the Refugee Crisis
* Migration to Europe has been ongoing for long. The surge began in the 1950s as immigration to Western Europe (i.e. Germany), was central to economic reconstruction post WWII. These migrants, however, were presumed to be "temporary migrants". Contrary to the European population's belief, most of the migrants remained and were followed by their families. The next large influx of international migrants was in 1989-90, after the Cold War. What is now known as the "European Migrant Crisis", though, is primarily credited to the inundation of refugees due to political and social conflicts in regions such as Syria.
Refugee Crisis
* A refugee is someone who is forced to flee his or her country of origin because of persecution, war, or violence.
* Edited " Global refugee crisis ": According to the UNHCR, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide reached 65.6 million at the end of 2016, the highest level since World War II, with a 40% increase taking place since 2011. Of these 65.6 million, 22.5 million were refugees (17.2 million under UNHCR's mandate, plus 5.3 million Palestinian refugees under UNRWA's mandate). 2.8 million of the refugees were asylum seekers The rest were persons displaced within their own countries (internally displaced persons). The 17.2 million refugees under UNHCR's mandate were around 2.9 million more than at the end of 2014, the highest level since 1992. Among them, Syrian refugees became the largest refugee group in 2014 (3.9 million, 1.55 million more than the previous year), overtaking Afghan refugees (2.6 million), who had been the largest refugee group for three decades. Six of the ten largest countries of origin of refugees were African: Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and Eritrea. Developing countries hosted the largest share of refugees (86% by the end of 2014, the highest figure in more than two decades); the least developed countries alone provided asylum to 25% of refugees worldwide. Even though most Syrian refugees were hosted by neighboring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, the number of asylum applications lodged by Syrian refugees in Europe steadily increased between 2011 and 2017. By December of 2017, UNHCR had counted over 1 million asylum applications in 37 European countries (including both EU members and non-members).
* As of 2017, 55% of refugees worldwide came from three nations: South Sudan, Afghanistan, and Syria. Of all displaced peoples, 17% of them are being hosted in Europe. As of April 2018, 15,481 refugees have successfully arrived to the shores of Europe via sea within the first few months of the year alone. There was an estimated 500 that have died in this year alone. In 2015, there was a total of 1.02 million arrivals by sea. Since then, the influx has steadily decreased but is ongoing nonetheless.
* Syria
* The greatest number of refugees fleeing to Europe originate from Syria. Their migration stems from severe socio-political oppression under President Bashar al-Assad. In 2011, a group of Syrians displayed a pro-democracy protests in the city of Deraa. President Assad responded with force and consequently, more protests were triggered nationwide against the Assad regime. By July of 2011, hundreds of thousands of people were protesting President Assad. Early insurgency was put into affect to mitigate these uprisings--however, these measures were met with more unrest. By May of 2011, thousands of people has already fled the country and the first refugee camps opened in Turkey. In March of 2012, the UNHCR decided to appoint a Regional Refugee Coordinator for Syrian Refugees--recognizing the growing concerns surrounding the crisis. Just a year later, in March 2013, the number of Syrian refugees reached 1 million. By December 2017, UNHCR counted 1 million asylum applications for Syrian refugees in the European Union. As of March 2018, UNHCR has counted nearly 5.6 million registered Syrian refugees worldwide.
* Afghanistan
* Afghan refugees comprise the second largest refugee population in the world. According to the UNHCR, there are almost 2.5 million registered refugees from Afghanistan. Most of these refugees have fled the region due to war and persecution. The majority have resettled in Pakistan and Iran, but it is becoming increasingly common to migrate further west to the European Union. Afghanistan has faced nearly 40 years of conflict dating back to the Soviet invasion in 1979. Since then, the nation has faced fluctuating levels of civil war amidst unending unrest. The increase in refugee numbers has been credited primarily to the Taliban presence within Afghanistan. Their retreat in 2001, led to nearly 6 million Afghan refugees returning to their homeland. However, after civil unrest and fighting alongside the Taliban's return, nearly 2.5 million refugees have fled Afghanistan. Most Afghan refugees, however, seek refuge in the neighboring nation of Pakistan. Increasing numbers, though, have committed to the strenuous migration to Turkey and the European Union.
Economic Asylum
* For long, economic migration has been a global issue. Such migration is pursued to in order to seek living conditions/standards and job opportunities that do not exist in the migrant's country of origin. These migrants are termed "migrant workers" by the United Nations. According to the OECD, over the last ten years, migrants accounted for over 70% of the increase in Europe's workforce. The OECD has reported that such immigration is actually crucial to the growing labor market--filling 15% of the entries into the fastest growing occupations. Overall, the OECD has found that the inflow of migrants has not greatly disrupted any nation's GDP.
Islamic State
* "In 2016, according to the daily, La Stampa, officials from Europol conducted an investigation into the trafficking of fake documents for ISIL. They have identified fake Syrian passports in the refugee camps in Greece that were destined to supposed members of ISIS, in order to avoid Greek government controls and make their way to other parts of Europe. Also, the chief of Europol said that a new task force of 200 counter terrorism officers will be deployed to the Greek islands alongside Greek border guards in order to help Greece stop a “strategic” level campaign by Islamic State to infiltrate terrorists into Europe. In 2017, British newspaper The Guardian reported that ISIL is paying the smugglers fees of up to $2,000 USD to child migrants in a desperate attempt to radicalize children for the group." The reports by Quilliam, indicate that an estimated 88,300 unaccompanied children--who are reported as missing--are at risk of radicalization by the Islamic State.
Migration Routes
* Refugees from Syria, for example, face a very trying migration route. The typical course is as follows: refugees first must escape the oppression and confines of their home country (in this case Syria). To do this, refugees will often have to overcome violence, checkpoints, and limited resources. From Syria, the refugees typically move to Turkey. Some will stay there and seek asylum and resettlement. Many others will venture further to seek asylum in Europe. From Turkey, some may have the opportunity to move into Greece, while others will use Egypt as a stepping stone. Regardless, the refugees will board unsafe, overcrowded boats to get to these new lands. From Greece, they will move through Italy, to Macedonia, to Hungary and then, if they are able to make it so far, some will reach Germany and/or Sweden. All along the way, refugees are faced with smugglers, bandits, violence, border patrol, harsh weather and countless other uncontrollable factors.
Relief Interventions and Aide
* Countless Non-Governmental Organizations--both European-based, and international--have been providing on-the-ground relief efforts for the refugees. There is a blanket term for these efforts: shadow aid. This form of assistance utilizes both NGO efforts as well as local, internal community efforts to overcome some of the obstacles that are faced by refugees during migration into Europe.
* I don't know if I want to pursue this area as much because there is not much more literature on relief effort. Will look more into it but not my focus entirely.

Health Literacy
Health literacy is a crucial component to preventative healthcare and improved public health. A cross-sectional study conducted amongst refugees in Sweden, found that 60% of those assessed had inadequate functioning health literacy and 27% of them had inadequate comprehensive health literacy. The study concluded that health literacy should be taken into consideration when assessing refugee health and that more research is needed to assess the current dynamics and develop strategies to overcome the gaps in health literacy amongst refugees. Through the provision of targeted, adequate health literacy tool kits, populations are more likely to adhere to treatment plans and prevention efforts—particularly in the realm of infectious disease. These health literacy tools must be relevant to the communities, administered in familiar language and vocabulary, and must truly take into account the competencies and limitations of the target audience.Within health literacy initiatives, collaborative learning and social support could contribute to people’s understanding and ability to judge, sift and use health information. Consequently, adding these practices to the definition of critical health literacy could prove to be hugely beneficial to patient communities.
Non-Communicable Diseases
When addressing the needs of NCD patients within humanitarian crises, there needs to be a more epidemiological approach to assessing prevalence of NCDs to ensure a better understanding of the local needs and risks. After such assessment is made, those new understandings must be targeted to create novel, innovative approaches to mitigate risks and promote healthy behaviors—in an infectious manner. Finally, in order to adequately provide such resources, there must be strong guidance and education continuously available.
Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition that is not transmissible and non-infectious. This means it is not caused by an infectious agent but instead is perpetuated by individual and environmental behaviors. According to the WHO, NCDs lead to an estimated 40 million deaths per year--worldwide. Accordingly, 70% of deaths worldwide are credited to NCDs. It is found that NCD development and control is directly linked with nutrition and healthy behaviors.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have accounted for 19-46% of mortality from the top five refugee-producing countries in 2015. Accordingly, the overall proportion of deaths credited to NCDs has risen over 50%. Reports indicate that more than half of Syrian refugee households (resettled in Jordan) have a member suffering from an non-communicable disease.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a group of chronic metabolic diseases that affect the body's use of blood sugar. There are two main forms of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency and requires daily administered doses of insulin. Causes of Type 1 diabetes are unknown and are currently, not preventable. It is typically onset at an early age. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by the body's inability to properly utilize insulin. Type 2 diabetes is typically onset in adults and is linked with unhealthy behaviors. Another common form of diabetes is gestational diabetes. This occurs in pregnant women and does not necessarily lead to Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes permanently.
Refugees are at an increased risk of developing diabetes because of the tendency towards inadequate nutritional behaviors. According to the CDC, amongst Syrian refugees, there is a 6.1% prevalence of adult-onset diabetes. Iraqi refugees saw a 3% prevalence and Congolese refugees faced less than 1%. A literary analysis on diabetes risk amongst refugee populations suggests that increased diabetes risk among adult refugees may be associated with longer migration histories. The analysis also links increased diabetes prevalence with the transition from traditional, agricultural lifestyles with potentially protective foods, to urbanized, westernized lifestyles that come with migration.
Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which an individual does not have enough healthy red blood cells. This will consequently lead to reduced oxygen flow to the body’s organs. Most commonly, this is caused by not consuming enough iron. Anemia is used as a marker for overall micronutrient deficiency. Symptoms usually involve overall fatigue and tiredness, as a result of reduced oxygen flow. There are various treatments for anemia, including iron supplements and vitamin B supplements. Blood transfusions may also be used if blood production is low.
According to the CDC, “an evaluation of anemia prevalence in the Zaatari refugee camp and surrounding areas showed that 48.4% of children younger than 5 years of age, and 44.8% of women 15-49 years of age suffered from anemia”. Amongst Congolese refugees, Sickle Cell Anemia (SCD) is of a much larger concern. In Central America, refugees coming from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras show the highest incidence of anemia cases. The CDC reports that the prevalence for children under 5 years old is 30% in El Salvador, 47% in Guatemala, and 40% in Honduras. In Guatemala, 22% of pregnant women are also anemic. These cases are mostly credited to poor nutrition or a chronic parasitic infection.
Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension
Cardiovascular disease is a general term for various heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, and many more. Hypertension is high blood pressure--this is usually defined as blood pressure over 130/80. Cardiovascular disease and hypertension are associated with poor nutrition/diet, sedentary lifestyles, and genetic risk factors.
Amongst Syrian refugees, 4.1% of adults suffered from cardiovascular disease and 10.7% suffered from hypertension. There is also substantial risk amongst Congolese refugees. According to the CDC, amongst Iraqi refugees in Jordan, 33% of those over 15 years of age had hypertension. Another 42% were pre-hypertensive. Bhutanese refugee adults had a 3% prevalence of hypertension, and nearly 1% prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. | WIKI |

Scott Gu Dynamic Linq Convertir fecha y hora en fecha y hora cortas
I am using the Scott Gu Dynamic Linq class and I am trying to convert a datetime to return a short datetime before databinding the result set to a gridview in ASP.net. Now, I know that I can go through the gridview row databound event and check each cell to see if it is a date, and if it is, convert the date to the shortdate, however that is very cumbersome and I do not feel it is very efficient.
I am building my select statement in DynamicLinq as follows:
Filter gets its information as follows:
foreach (KeyValuePair<string,string> kvp in dictFilters)
{
filter += kvp.Key + " as " + kvp.Value.Replace("-", "_").Replace(" ", "_") + ",";
}
var result = db.ViewADHOCContractInfos.Select("new(" + filter + ")");
which gives me the result set of:
{SELECT [t0].[dtmAward] AS [Award_Date], [t0].[guidFromId], [t0].[strFundingNumber] AS [Funding_Number], [t0].[dtmCertified] AS [Certified_Date], [t0].[strFundingNumberStatus] AS [Funding_Status]
FROM [dbo].[ViewADHOCInfo] AS [t0]
}
Ahora lo que quiero es esto:
{SELECT Convert(VarChar, [t0].[dtmAward], 101) AS [Award_Date], [t0].[guidFromId], [t0].[strFundingNumber] AS [Funding_Number], [t0].[dtmCertified] AS [Certified_Date], [t0].[strFundingNumberStatus] AS [Funding_Status]
FROM [dbo].[ViewADHOCInfo] AS [t0]
}
Is it possible to add a SQL convert to by select statement using Dynamic Linq?

Depression and heart disease in US adults
Ashwini Niranjan, Andrea Corujo, Roy C. Ziegelstein, Evaristus Nwulia
Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
Abstract
Objective: Major depressive disorder (MDD) with atypical features is characterized by mood reactivity, increased appetite/weight gain and hypersomnia. Since these characteristics may be associated with obesity and diabetes, we examined whether individuals with MDD with atypical features (MDD-AD) are more likely to exhibit cardiovascular disease than those with MDD without atypical features (MDD-NAD). Methods: Participants in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a nationally representative sample of noninstitutionalized US adults, were categorized as having no lifetime depression diagnosis (n=34,979), MDD-NAD (n=4632) and MDD-AD (n=1063) and reported physician-confirmed specific cardiovascular diagnoses in the previous year. Results: Compared to individuals without depression, those with MDD had a 50% increased odds of any cardiovascular diagnosis (P<.0001) independent of sociodemographic factors. Adjusting for sociodemographic differences in MDD subgroups, MDD-AD (compared to MDD-NAD) was associated with 60% (P<.0001) and 43% (P<.005) increases in the odds of hypertension and any cardiovascular diagnosis, respectively. These latter associations were no longer significant after adjusting for body mass index and substance use. Conclusion: Individuals with major depression are at increased risk of heart disease. Whereas major depression with atypical features is associated with certain cardiovascular risk factors, there is no greater risk of cardiovascular diagnoses.

Problems of bad breath, causes and how to prevent it
Bad breath (known medically as halitosis) is not a simple symptom, it not only bothers you but it annoys all those who surround you! If someone close complained from your bad breath, it could only mean poor dental hygiene or an underlying disease. So let’s find out together.
Causes of Bad Breath:
Food:
Sometimes the kind of food you eat may cause this unpleasant breath: food particles after being digested move to your blood stream then up to your lungs where their stagnant smell reach you’re every breath, the smell gets really obvious if you don’t floss and wash your teeth after every meal.
Examples of smelly food:
• Onions and garlic.
• Pastrami and some spices.
• Alcohol and blue cheese.
• Also if you are one a strict diet, you may complain of unpleasant breath.
Dryness of the mouth:
If you suffer from any underlying disease or use some drugs that may cause any dryness of the saliva (isotretinoin) that is the main ingredient for natural cleansing of the mouth hence the bad breath.
Poor dental hygiene:
As we said earlier, if you don’t take good care of your dental hygiene, bad breath follows.
You have to clean your teeth, gums and tongue twice daily at least as unpleasant breath may be caused by rotten food stuck between your teeth. Also tooth decay and gingivitis may cause this bad breath.
What if it is an underlying disease? Bad breath could be a sign for another health problem like:
• Lung infection.
• Sinus infection.
• Renal and liver diseases.
• GIT troubles.
• Diabetes Mellitus.
How to prevent bad breath?
• If you know certain foods that causes you unpleasant breath then keep track of it, and stop eating them.
• Eat more vegetables and fruits ( go healthy).
• Drink at least 2 liters of water daily.
• Use breath mints for fresher breaths.
• Quit tobacco.
• Take good care of your teeth: brush, floss and rinse daily.
• If for any reason you use dentures/braces/retainers, treat them like your real teeth: take them off every night and clean them with antiseptic solutions.
Beyond bad breath?
• Visit your dentist twice annually for your regular checkup and dental professional cleanse.
• If you complain about unpleasant breath, mention it to your dentist, he/she will help you overcome it.
• Either by diagnosing the underlying dental health issue or recommending a solution.
• Like using artificial saliva or treating your gingivitis.
• If there is another medical reason, your dentist will refer you to another doctor that can diagnose the disease causing the bad breath and treat it.
Magrabi’s tip:
Avoid food that causes you bad breath, and quit smoking. If any of these didn’t help then visit your dentist, to diagnose the underlying cause and treat it?

What’s on TV Wednesday: ‘Deepwater Horizon’ and ‘Europa Report’
“Deepwater Horizon” airs on FX. And Sebastián Cordero’s spare sci-fi movie is on Hulu. DEEPWATER HORIZON (2016) 7:30 p.m. on FX. The screenwriters Matthew Michael Carnahan and Matthew Sand based the script for this film on an article in The New York Times that investigated the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and industrial disaster. Peter Berg directs, with Mark Wahlberg, Gina Rodriguez and Kurt Russell as the main characters. Their antagonists, in this case, are BP and the managers of the rig, played by John Malkovich and Brad Leland, who are shown to put profit over safety concerns, resulting in 11 deaths and an oil spill of more than 100 million gallons in the Gulf of Mexico. EUROPA REPORT (2013) on Hulu. This found-footage sci-fi film from the Ecuadorean director Sebastián Cordero finds a group of six astronauts in close quarters, en route to one of Jupiter’s moons. Grounded in realism (rather than space lasers and explosions), the movie wrings its suspense out of a slow, steady ascent into the unknown. Cordero shapes “a number of sci-fi clichés — from the botched spacewalk to the communications breakdown — into a wondering contemplation of our place in the universe,” Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in her review for The Times. The actors playing the explorers include Sharlto Copley (“District 9”) and Karolina Wydra (“House”). LOVE ACTUALLY (2003) on Netflix. After watching him spray zombie guts around for the past eight years as the star of “The Walking Dead,” it may be hard to remember that the actor Andrew Lincoln ever played any roles that didn’t involve reanimated flesh monsters — or a Southern accent. But among all the members of the bountiful ensemble directed by Richard Curtis in this Christmas-themed romantic comedy (Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson among them), a younger Lincoln stands out thanks to a scene involving Keira Knightley, a boombox and some memorably deployed cue cards. The movie is eagerly revisited by some devotees around this time of year, though others may find it hokey. In his review for The Times, A.O. Scott called the film “an indigestible Christmas pudding” that is “more like a record label’s greatest-hits compilation or a ‘very special’ sitcom clip-reel show than an actual movie.” INTO THE FOREST (2016) on Netflix. Those who like coming-of-age tales and post-apocalyptic stories can satisfy two tastes with one movie in this adaptation of a Jean Hegland novel, written and directed by Patricia Rozema. Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood play Nell and Eva, sisters living in the Pacific Northwest. After a mass blackout, they have to learn to survive unplugged with the help of their father (Callum Keith Rennie). The film’s quiet, reserved nature sets it apart from many other films in the genre. But the silence also, Manohla Dargis said in her review for The Times, prevents it from developing into a gripping narrative. “The world may be burning,” Dargis wrote. “Here, it barely simmers.” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
People's Tobacco Company v. American Tobacco Company/Opinion of the Court
On January 4, 1912, the People's Tobacco Company, Limited, began suit against the American Tobacco Company in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana to recover treble damages under section 7 of the Sherman Act of 1890 (Act July 2, 1890, c. 647, 26 Stat. 210 [Comp. St. 1916, § 8829]). On January 5, 1912, service of process was made upon W. R. Irby as manager of the company. On January 16, 1912, the company filed exceptions to the service on the ground that it was a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey; that it was not found within the Eastern District of Louisiana or in the State of Louisiana, and was not engaged in business there, nor had it an agent therein; that W. R. Irby, upon whom service had been attempted, was not an officer, agent, or employe of the defendant, the American Tobacco Company, or authorized to accept service of process upon it at that time. On January 25, 1912, service was made upon the Assistant Secretary of State of Louisiana. Exceptions to that service upon practically the same grounds were filed by the defendant company. A further service was undertaken on February 2, 1914, on the Secretary of State of Louisiana and like exceptions were filed by the defendant company to that service.
Testimony was taken and upon hearing the District Court held that:
1. W. R. Irby was not the agent of the company at the time of the attempted service, and, therefore, the service upon him did not bring the company into court;
2. That the American Tobacco Company was not doing business in Louisiana at the time of the attempted service;
3. That the attempted service upon the Secretary of State of Louisiana did not bring the defendant corporation into court.
Section 7 of the Sherman Act provides that suits of the character of the one now under consideration may be brought in the district in which the defendant 'resides or is found.' When applied to a corporation this requirement is the equivalent of saying that it must be present in the district by its officers and agents carrying on the business of the corporation. In this way only can a corporation be said to be 'found' within the district. In that manner it may manifest its submission to local jurisdiction and become amenable to local process.
The testimony shows that up to November 30, 191, the American Tobacco Company had a factory in New Orleans for the manufacture of tobacco and cigarettes known as the W. R. Irby Branch of the American Tobacco Company, of which W. R. Irby was manager. Under the law of the State it had filed in the office of the Secretary of State an appointment of W. R. Irby as agent, upon whom service of process might be made.
On November 16, 1911, the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York made a decree dissolving the American Tobacco Company. Among other things that decree provided that the American Tobacco Company should convey its W. R. Irby Branch to a company to be formed and known as the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. Conveyances were made to carry out this purpose.
The American Tobacco Company by an instrument executed by Mr. Hill, its vice president, revoked the authority of W. R. Irby as its resident agent, and filed the revocation of authority in the office of the Secretary of State of Louisiana on December 15, 1911. W. R. Irby testified that thereafter he was the manager of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, and that he had no connection whatsoever with the American Tobacco Company, nor had he drawn any salary from that company since December 1, 1911.
It is true that the record discloses some instances in which collections were made upon bills in the name of the Irby Branch of the American Tobacco Company after the revocation of Mr. Irby's authority as its agent. Most of them were stamped across the face, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company.
There remained on hand with the Irby Branch at the time of the dissolution a quantity of cigarette paper which was continued to be delivered to purchasers by the employes of the Irby Branch of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company upon orders received from the American Tobacco Company, and for its benefit and upon its account. This practically continued until the stock was exhausted, which the testimony shows was within a month after the dissolution, and before the attempted service of process in this case.
There were lodged in the custom house in New Orleans powers of attorney of the American Tobacco Company giving authority to those named therein to do what was necessary to make out export papers on behalf of the company. These powers of attorney do not appear to have been revoked, and existed after the service of process. The defendant company issued circulars subsequent to the time it was served with process in this suit; it also advertised in the New Orleans newspapers.
A consideration of all the testimony leads us to the conclusion that the American Tobacco Company undertook in good faith to carry out the decree of dissolution, and to take that company out of business in the State of Louisiana. It is true, as found by the District Court, that at the time of the service, and thereafter, the American Tobacco Company was selling goods in Louisiana to jobbers, and sending its drummers into that State to solicit orders of the retail trade, to be turned over to the jobbers, the charges being made by the jobbers to the retailers. It further appears that these agents were not domiciled in the State, and did not have the right or authority to make sales on account of the defendant company, collect money, or extend credit for it. It also appears that the American Tobacco Company owned stock in other companies which owned stock in companies carrying on the tobacco business in the State of Louisiana. With these facts in mind we come to a consideration of the proper disposition of the case.
We agree with the District Court that Irby at the time of the attempted service upon him was not the authorized agent of the American Tobacco Company. On December 1, 1911, the American Tobacco Company conveyed its Irby Branch to the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. On the same day W. R. Irby, who had been the designated agent of the defendant company, resigned as a director of the American Tobacco Company, and ceased to remain in it employment. On December 5, 1911, the power of attorney was revoked as we have hereinbefore stated by the company filing an instrument of revocation in the office of the Secretary of State of Louisiana; it is true that the revocation was by one of the vice presidents of the company and was attested by the seal of the corporation. But we are not impressed with the argument that this revocation was ineffectual because not sanctioned by formal action of the board of directors of the company. The vice president seems to have had authority in the matter. Apparently he acted with the knowledge and acquiescence of the corporation, and was carrying into effect the decree of dissolution.
Upon the broader question, we agree with the District Court that the American Tobacco Company at the time of the attempted service was not doing business within the State of Louisiana. The question as to what constitutes the doing of business in such wise as to make the corporation subject to service of process has been frequently discussed in the opinions of this court, and we shall enter upon no amplification of what has been said. Each case depends upon its own facts. The general rule deducible from all our decisions is that the business must be of such nature and character as to warrant the inference that the corporation has subjected itself to the local jurisdiction, and is by its duly authorized officers or agents present within the state or district where service is attempted. Phila. & Reading R. R. Co. v. McKibbin, 243 U.S. 264, 37 Sup. Ct. 280, 61 L. Ed. 710; St. Louis Southwestern R. R. Co. v. Alexander, 227 U.S. 218, 226, 33 Sup. Ct. 245, 57 L. Ed. 486, Ann. Cas. 1915B, 77.
The fact that the company owned stock in the local subsidiary companies did not bring it into the State in the sense of transacting its own business there. Peterson v. Chicago, R. I. & P. R. R. Co., 205 U.S. 364, 27 Sup. Ct. 513, 51 L. Ed. 841; Phila. & Reading R. R. Co. v. McKibbin, 243 U.S. 264, 268, 37 Sup. Ct. 280, 61 L. Ed. 710. As to the continued practice of advertising its wares in Louisiana, and sending its soliciting agents into that State, as above detailed, the agents having no authority beyond solicitation, we think the previous decisions of this court have settled the law to be that such practices did not amount to that doing of business which subjects the corporation to the local jurisdiction for the purpose of service of process upon it. Green v. C. B. & Q. R. R. Co., 205 U.S. 530, 27 Sup. Ct. 595, 51 L. Ed. 916; Phila. & Reading R. R. Co. v. McKibbin, 243 U.S. 264, 268, 37 Sup. Ct. 280, 61 L. Ed. 710.
The plaintiff in error relies upon International Harvester Co. v. Kentucky, 234 U.S. 579, 34 Sup. Ct. 944, 58 L. Ed. 1479, but in that case the facts disclosed that there was not only a continuous course of business in the solicitation of orders within the State, but there was also authority upon the part of such agents to receive payment in money, checks and drafts on behalf of the company, and to take notes payable and collectible at banks in Kentucky; these things, taken together, we held amounted to doing business within the State of Kentucky in such manner as to make the Harvester Company amenable to the process of the courts of that State.
As to the attempted service of process upon the Secretary of State of Louisiana under the Louisiana Act of 1904 (Act No. 54 of 1904) as amended 1908 (Act No. 284 of 1908), we understand the Act, as construed by the State Supreme Court, is not applicable to foreign corporations not present within the State and doing business therein at the time of the service, and having as in this case withdrawn from the State and ceased to do business there. Gouner v. Missouri Valley Iron Co., 123 La. 964, 49 South. 657.
We reach the conclusion that the District Court did not err in maintaining the exceptions filed by the defendant company and in quashing the attempted service made upon it.
Judgment affirmed.
Mr. Justice McREYNOLD took no part in the consideration or decision of this case. | WIKI |

Is it safe to lose fat while pregnant?
In the past, doctors didn’t want to promote weight loss during pregnancy for women with obesity because they were afraid it would hurt the baby. But new research shows that women with obesity can safely exercise and diet to lose weight without any negative impact on their baby’s well-being.
IT IS INTERESTING: Can you slim down by swimming?
Can you get in shape while pregnant?
Incorporating some moderate aerobic activity, such as walking or swimming, and some flexibility and strengthening work, like yoga, is all any pregnant woman needs, says Berk. About 20 to 30 minutes of brisk walking three to four times a week is plenty, four to five times if you’re trying to minimize weight gain.
Does exercising during pregnancy help with weight gain?
Other benefits of exercise during pregnancy are simply less weight gain. Of course, it’s normal and healthy to gain weight during pregnancy. However, gaining too much weight during pregnancy can increase your risk of complications during delivery. Exercise helps you gain minimal weight while pregnant.
Do you burn more calories when pregnant?
They also looked up data on the number of calories women burn while pregnant and lactating. A study from 2005 showed (paywall) they tend to burn roughly twice as many calories as normal.
Can you lose weight during your first trimester?
In the first trimester, it’s common to lose weight as the result of morning sickness: The nausea can diminish your appetite, and the vomiting can cause you to miss out on calories. But even so, your baby will get all the necessary calories.
Can I keep running while pregnant?
It’s recommended that pregnant women do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week. In general, if you’re healthy and your pregnancy is normal, it’s safe to exercise. Doctors say that women who were already running regularly before pregnancy can continue while pregnant.

Can a baby in the womb lose weight?
The fetus can use their body’s fat stores for energy. By not gaining any weight during pregnancy, a woman will usually be losing fat stores. After pregnancy, she may naturally have a lower body weight than before becoming pregnant.
Are squats safe during pregnancy?
“Squats are extremely safe for most pregnant people, and also highly recommended,” says DeGrace, because they can help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Squats also improve hip mobility and improve blood circulation to your whole body—all things that help prepare your body for labor.
What week do you start putting on weight in pregnancy?
While the majority of the pounds will make their appearance during the second and third trimester, there’s some initial weight gain that will happen in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. In fact, on average, people gain 1 to 4 pounds in the first trimester — but it can vary.
What trimester do you gain the most weight?
Third trimester weight gain is an important part of later pregnancy and is not usually a cause for concern. Many women will experience rapid weight gain during their third trimester. This is because the fetus typically gains the most weight in this time, according to the Office on Women’s Health (OWH).
At what month can a pregnant woman start exercising?
During the first trimester (weeks 1 to 13) you can keep doing whatever you were doing before you became pregnant, unless there’s a risk that you could be hit, get too hot or have a fall. Read about exercises to avoid in pregnancy. If you’re not used to exercising, start gently and build up slowly.

Unleash the power of Ataris CPU#
By Ed Stewart (from A.N.A.L.O.G. 2, March/April 1981)
Would you like to get as much as a 30% increase in speed from Your Atari 6502 CPU? Would you also like to get this benefit without any additional capital expense? If your answer is no you probably don't like apple pie either, but if your answer is yes, read on, and I will tell you how to accomplish such a feat with one simple BASIC POKE in the right place.
First a little background information about one of the many things going on inside your ATARI computer. The particular thing that I want you to know about is how display information reaches your TV screen. There is a specific hardware chip called ANTIC that has most of the responsibility for seeing that the display gets to your TV screen. ANTIC does this by operating independently from the main 6502 CPU in your computer. ANTIC is in fact a primitive CPU in it's own right. It executes a program which is located in RAM just as the 6502 executes a Program in RAM or ROM, We can therefore call the Atari a multiprocessing computer since more than one CPU may be active at any time. A peculiar and somewhat unfortunate thing happens when a multiprocessing system such as the Atari is actively executing instructions both CPUs desire access to memory simultaneously. The two CPUs cannot both access memory at the same time so one must wait until the other completes it's access request. This memory access conflict is common to all computers containing more than one CPU - from micros to macros - and is generally not something to be concerned about.
The ANTIC chip fetches it's data from memory using a technique called "Direct Memory Access" or DMA. Whenever this memory fetch is occurring the 6502 is temporarily halted. DMA is said to be "stealing" a portion of the computer's available time called a cycle. There are 1,789,790 cycles of computer time available per second. If DMA had not "stolen" that cycle of computer time the 6502 would not have been halted and therefore would have finished it's program instructions sooner. It is only logical to conclude that the more this DMA activity occurs in behalf of the ANTIC chip, the more our 6502 will be slowed down.
The ANTIC chip re-displays the entire TV display 60 times each second. During each of these 60 times many computer cycles are stolen from the 6502. During each of these 60 times the ANTIC chip also "interrupts" the 6502 and causes it to perform such tasks as updating various software timers and reading game controllers (joysticks and paddles). When the 6502 finishes what it must do in response to the ANTIC "interrupt" it may continue with what it was doing previous to being sidetracked by ANTIC. You should be getting the picture by now that although ANTIC is indispensable it causes a slowdown in the 6502 CPU, but how much?
I wrote a simple BASIC program for my Atari 800 in an attempt to answer this question. A FOR/NEXT loop was executed 100,000 times with no intervening statements as follows,.
20 FOR 1=1 TO 100000:NEXT I
The first thing to measure was how long this loop executes with no ANTIC DMA active. A POKE 559,0 turned DMA off and the TV screen went black, A POKE 559,34 turned DMA back on and the original display was restored. The FOR/NEXT loop was executed in graphics modes 0-8 with DMA active and the executive times were observed as shown in table 1. The execution times with DMA increased from as little as 10% for graphics 3 to as much as 47% for graphics 8. It is reasonable to see that if you do a lot of number crunching and you don't need the TV screen or the software timers and game controllers then turn off the ANTIC DMA for a while and you'll get your answer back sooner. It is also apparent from the chart below that your programs will execute faster if you are executing in graphics modes 3, 4, or 5.
I hope you have learned a little bit more about the Atari computer and how the ANTIC DMA interferes with the 6502 CPU. You may in fact someday be able to unleash that latent power within during a computer chess tournament, and when someone asks how in the world you did it you can smile and say - me and my DMA.

Nancy Lynch
Nancy Ann Lynch (born January 19, 1948) is a computer scientist affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the NEC Professor of Software Science and Engineering in the EECS department and heads the "Theory of Distributed Systems" research group at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Education and early life
Lynch was born in Brooklyn, and her academic training was in mathematics. She attended Brooklyn College and MIT, where she received her Ph.D. in 1972 under the supervision of Albert R. Meyer.
Work
She served on the math and computer science faculty at several other universities, including Tufts University, the University of Southern California, Florida International University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), prior to joining the MIT faculty in 1982. Since then, she has been working on applying mathematics to the tasks of understanding and constructing complex distributed systems.
Her 1985 work with Michael J. Fischer and Mike Paterson on consensus problems received the PODC Influential-Paper Award in 2001. Their work showed that in an asynchronous distributed system, consensus is impossible if there is one processor that crashes. On their contribution, Jennifer Welch wrote that "this result has had a monumental impact in distributed computing, both theory and practice. Systems designers were motivated to clarify their claims concerning under what circumstances the systems work."
She is the author of numerous research articles about distributed algorithms and impossibility results, and about formal modeling and validation of distributed systems (see, e.g., input/output automaton). She is the author of the graduate textbook "Distributed Algorithms". She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and an ACM Fellow.

Silver behenate
Silver behenate is a silver salt of the long-chain fatty acid behenic acid. It is a possible low-angle diffraction standard that was characterized using the powder diffraction technique.
Description
With the National Institute of Standards and Technology's standard reference material silicon as an internal standard, the long spacing of silver behenate was accurately determined from the profile-fitted synchrotron diffraction peaks, with d001 = 58.380 (3) Å (5.8380(3) nm). This result was in agreement with that obtained from the CuKα pattern. The profile widths of the silver behenate peaks were found to be consistently larger than those of the silicon peaks, indicating significant line broadening for silver behenate. The average crystallite size along the long-spacing direction of silver behenate was estimated using the Scherrer equation, giving D(avg) = 900 (50) Å (85–95 nm).
Diffraction patterns obtained with 1.54 Å synchrotron and CuKα radiation showed thirteen reflections in the 2θ range from 1.5° to 20.0°, which suggests that the compound is suitable for use as an angle-calibration standard for low-angle diffraction. However, care must be taken if silver behenate is to be used as a peak-profile calibration standard because of line broadening. | WIKI |

How to Enjoy Summer Despite Having Lupus
How to Enjoy Summer Despite Having Lupus
Key Takeaways
• Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and clothing.
• If you have a trip coming up, prepare yourself and make sure you bring your medication.
• Bug bites can be more harmful to people with lupus, so use insect repellent.
Summer means a lot of fun yet a lot of sun. For families with kids, summer is always the best time to go on trips and vacations. But for people with lupus, summer can mean more pain and discomfort. Fortunately, you can keep lupus at bay while traveling. Enjoying summer with lupus is entirely within reach. This time, you just have to be extra mindful when it comes to overdoing any activity or spending more time under the sun. Taking care of yourself is the key. Follow these tips to have an enjoyable summer trip with your family and friends.
1. Exercise: With or without lupus, making time for exercise is important for everyone. For people with lupus, exercise can strengthen your bone density, lower your risk of injury, improve your outlook, and relieve tension. To avoid aggravating your symptoms by working muscles and joints too much, start out slowly. It’s important that you’re fit and strong, because you will be doing a lot of walking on vacation.
2. Sun and Safety: Overexposure to the sun can lead to rashes or even hot flashes. Here are some things you can do to avoid these symptoms:
• Avoid the midday sun as it’s at its strongest.
• Enjoy your view from under a shady tree or an umbrella.
• Apply sunscreen every two hours during the day with at least 30 SPF, hitting spots that are easily overlooked like the backs of your knees or behind your ears.
• Always head down to the poolside or beach with a cover-up on. Vests and cooling scarves should come in handy while out and about.
• You can be sensitive to some sunscreens. So, do some trial and error beforehand to find the right one that suits your skin.
3. Get Rid of the Insects: For people with lupus, insects like mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and bees can do harm. A lot of lupus patients have experienced a severe reaction to bug bites. To lessen your risk of insect bites, make sure to:
• Apply an insect repellent lotion before going out, especially when you’re camping. Use repellents that contain Diethyltoluamide, as they are considered to be very effective.
• Avoid exposing your skin especially around sunrise and sunset when insects tend to be most active. Be sure to wear some cover-ups. The long sleeves and long pants you use to shield UV rays can also be used to protect yourself against those insects.
• Stay away from areas near water such as swamps and ponds where mosquitoes could dwell.
• If you ever get a bite, wash the bite spot with water and soap. Do not scratch it to avoid infection. If the area is swollen and it’s in pain, take painkillers like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen. A cold compress can also help reduce the swelling.
4. Avoid Potential Contagions: Since lupus causes a negative immune system response to your body, people with lupus are more prone to contracting viruses and infections. Thus, avoid large crowds where contact is unavoidable. You also have to avoid direct contact with loved ones or friends who are suffering from a cold or viral infection. Always wash your hands thoroughly or use a sanitizer to get rid of potential contagions.
5. Eat Healthy: There is no special diet for lupus, but eating healthy is still important. Generally, people with lupus should have a well-balanced diet which includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. A moderate amount of meats and fishes are also good. Maintaining a well-balanced diet helps in reducing inflammation and other symptoms.
6. Plenty of Water: Make sure to drink enough water throughout the day. The 8-glasses-a-day idea is not a rule, but, you should be sipping water regularly. It can help push out toxins from the body, and it can help the sluggish digestive systems that many lupus patients experience.
7. Enough Amount of Sleep: To avoid the symptoms of extreme fatigue and weakness, make sure to get enough sleep. Enjoying summer with lupus is more achievable if you’re well rested. Sleep for no less than eight hours at night. If you stay up late one night, take a long nap the next day. You don’t want to drain yourself too much throughout the trip.
Before Your Trip
Know your triggers.Before going on a trip, you need to identify your triggers. Most lupus sufferers experience flare-ups due to certain triggers. Track your flare-ups by triggers or stressors. Every person who has lupus has different triggers. The most common triggers are sun exposure, emotional stress, certain foods, colds or infection. Knowing your triggers can help you avoid them so as to not aggravate a flare-up of your symptoms. Don’t forget to care for your body while on your trip. Simple measures can help prevent lupus flares from coming. Be prepared with the things you need while traveling. Here are some useful items that will make your summer pleasurable and safer:
1. Sunglasses. Use sunglasses to protect your eyes from the rays of the sun as well as the breeze. The wind can actually make your eyes flare up. Look for darker sunglasses with wide sides. Great sunglasses offer UVA/UVB protection.
2. Eye drops. Many people with lupus will experience dry eyes issues. So, if you’re like them, keep your eye drops handy.
3. Hats. Covering up during the hot season may sound weird, but exposure to the sun can lead to damaging effects like butterfly rashes and severe flare-ups. Hats never go out of style. So, it isn’t weird to wear a hat, even in the summer. People use this as an opportunity to showcase their style and individuality.
4. Cleansing wipes. When walking around outdoors, having an oil-free hypoallergenic cleansing wipe is a smart idea. Wipes are great for wiping up your sweat. They can also act as a great cleanser for removing oil and dirt from your face.
5. Cooling blankets. Cooling blankets are now widely available. They can even be purchased online. They can be pretty expensive, but you can use them all year round. Many people with lupus experience night sweats. A cooling blanket can get rid of those night sweats. Get the type of cooling blanket that lasts for a couple of hours and doesn’t leave your sheets damp.
6. Medicine. Your medicines are your safety net. You don’t want to feel helpless when having flares on vacation. You don’t just bring your medicines because you want to enjoy your summer vacation, but it’s primarily because you are away from you doctor, your own bed, pharmacy, etc. Having a debilitating pain in your hotel room isn’t an ideal get-away. Also, make sure to let your family or friends know where your medicines are.
Final Thoughts
Enjoying the summer with lupus means taking precautions. Tailoring your activities to the morning or evening hours is in fact preferable. For pregnant women, it is not advisable to go on summer trips. According to LupusUK.org, pregnant women with lupus have increased the risk of miscarriage. Also, it is best to consult your doctor if you seem to have a reaction such as swollen glands or difficulty in breathing. Make sure your family or friends who are with you on the trip have your doctor’s contact number. Throughout your trip, try to relax whenever you feel stressed or tired. You don’t have to participate in all activities. Your loved ones will surely understand and would gladly make you feel safe and comfortable. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
GOP rep: It's 'existential' that Republicans get tax reform done | TheHill
Republicans are eager to get tax reform done in 2017 and anything other than that would threaten the reputation of the GOP members Congress. "I think it's existential to the appearance, to the reputation, and to the efficacy of Congress, to get tax reform done," Rep. Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) told The Hill. Coming off of a bruising defeat on healthcare reform, the GOP is motivated to end the year with a big win ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. "2017 is the year for tax reform," House Ways and Means Committee member Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) said. "As you move into an election year, let's face it, things get more controversial and more difficult." Democrats and Republicans have expressed a willingness to work together on passing tax reform, but some Democrats remain skeptical on if Republicans will meet them halfway. "If Republicans do what they're talking about — massively ballooning deficit only to give tax cuts to the rich, then I think it's going to be a much harder sell to the American people," Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said. View the discussion thread.

Bristol-Myers Partners Array to Investigate Cancer Candidate
Bristol-Myers Squibb CompanyBMY and Array BioPharma ARRY entered into a clinical research collaboration to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Array's binimetinib in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo (nivolumab) and Opdivo + Yervoy (ipilimumab) regimen. The combination will be assessed to treat metastatic colorectal cancer in patients with microsatellite stable tumors.
Bristol-Myers' shares have lost 7.7% year to date against the Zacks classified Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry's gain of 9.1%.
Binimetinib is an investigational MEK inhibitor that is being studied in clinical trials in advanced cancer patients, including the phase III COLUMBUS trial in patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma and the phase III BEACON CRC trial in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer.
The phase I/II study is anticipated to begin in the second half of 2017, and the results from this study will be used to determine optimal approaches to advance the development of these combinations. The study will evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of combining binimetinib with Opdivo as well as binimetinib in combination with the Opdivo + Yervoy regimen. Per the agreement, Array and Bristol-Myers Squibb will jointly support the study sponsored by the former.
However, we remind investors that in Mar 2017, Array withdrew its new drug application (NDA) for its binimetinib, from the FDA's Division of Oncology Products 2. The candidate was being evaluated as a monotherapy for the treatment of NRAS-mutant melanoma, a rare, mutationally-driven subset of skin cancer.
In fact, the decision to withdraw the NDA was based on thorough discussions with the FDA, following late cycle review meeting held with agency. According to the feedback received from the FDA, the clinical benefit demonstrated in the phase III NEMO study was not sufficient to support the NDA for that indication. Nonetheless, the action will not impact the other ongoing trial on the drug.
Recently, Bristol-Myers also collaborated with Advaxis, Inc. ADXS to evaluate ADXS-DUAL, an investigational immunotherapy targeting HPV-associated cancers, and the former's Opdivo, as a potential combination treatment option for women with metastatic cervical cancer. The study is expected to start by the end of 2017 and will assess this combination regimen in women with persistent, recurrent or metastatic (squamous or non-squamous cell) carcinoma of the cervix who have failed at least one prior line of systemic chemotherapy.

History of India indopak pIt is a fact that some of the most important countries in the world have been conquered by their colonial masters after an almost complete revolution. However, this has not stopped many other countries from initiating and implementing revolutions to gain control over them at one point or another. These revolutions often prove to be unsuccessful as they are initiated against the will of their own people. The history of how these empires were defeated can be traced back to the early times when various kingdoms started revolts against their oppressors. Some more successful revolutions include those of the British Empire which took place between 1757 and 1783.The Indian Rebellion was triggered by the unjust treatment of Muslims in the country and began in 1857, taking aim at the discrimination by Hindus towards Muslims. One reason for such prejudice was that the new state of Jharkhand did not extend its powers beyond its borders. This eventually led to the formation of many Muslim kingdoms like Samudhra Pradesh, Jharkhand (1861-1862) Rajputs and Marathas. To protest against this caste system, Muslim inhabitants organized resistance. They formed associations where they sought help from British authorities and fought the British rule in 1857. British officers engaged in violent suppression of rebels and killed some prominent leaders who refused to join the Government forces. After a long struggle by non-violent resistance, all the Muslims in Jharkhand were finally granted state status following the abolition of the castes system. However, this was only a partial victory as Muslims were forced out of their native land and forcefully resettled into smaller villages. Thus, widespread resentment arose among the natives against any form of Hinduisation as it was perceived to deny Muslims their religious freedom. Furthermore, there were no separate seats reserved for Muslims and Hindu, unlike English. Thus, this was also seen as a violation of their religious liberty. The British government responded with repression and violence whenever they came across violence and riots. By 1830s, the rebellion had intensified until it became so fierce that the then Prime Minister Lord Peel decided to send troops in 1919 to suppress protests from Jharkhand Muslims, thus giving up the crown prince’s title Prince of Jharkhand and moving him down the hierarchy of political leadership which he previously enjoyed. Though it lasted a short time, it ultimately helped increase nationalist pressure and political awareness among Indians that they would rather live under their own rules in order to govern themselves than be ruled by foreign rulers. A series of incidents by British soldiers involved in killings, tortures and detentions took place in the 1920s. Due to this, much violence occurred at public places in which clashes broke out between soldiers and civilians. In 1926, rioting broke out once again leading to massive damage and injuries amongst locals. This incident resulted in large numbers being arrested and tried again in 1927.In 1928, a law called ‘’Rajiv Gandhi Act’ was passed with which the state guaranteed citizenship rights to everyone irrespective of religion. The act further stated that the police officer of the district would not be prosecuted upon exercising his power over someone who belonged to a particular faith and sect. Many Muslims in Jharkhand were resentful in this development. For instance, some Muslims protested the imposition of this laws arguing that they needed them in order to enjoy their citizenship like anyone else. But British officers retaliated by arresting several Muslim men who participated at demonstrations. Most protests were peaceful however, due to the rise in political movements such as the Quit India Movement, violent crimes started erupting. During 1931, a man named Mohammed Ali became a victim of lynching when he confronted Chief Justice Syed Ahmedabh Verma on the road. He was later sentenced to death.
An attempt by Muslims to take revenge on others involved in riots failed too as no one could bring charges against him due to the very low number of witnesses. As a result, the Muslim community felt cheated and betrayed and therefore, they started boycotting British goods like clothing, tea etc. Many Muslims left Jharkhand and migrated to neighbouring states like Bihar and Maharashtra.After independence, Muslims fled away from Jharkhand and other Muslim dominated areas in search of opportunities as well as safety. They moved around and formed small groups to seek refuge wherever they could find support. There were two major sources of refugees: 1) immigrants from Pakistan and 2) Punjabis (Makers and Traders). Over 70 percent of the refugees were Punjabis. Other reasons for migration included; economic hardships, famine, corruption, unemployment, lack of education facilities in their homeland as well as lack of jobs.The arrival of British troops to Jharkhand and Bihar to pursue the same agenda proved futile as both territories were under British rule and faced the same kind of oppression. Therefore, riots broke out yet again and turned violent and bloody. In 1942, huge scale massacre took place along East and West Bank between Indian Army and the Pakistani army. In 1947, armed resistance broke out as Muslims formed militia groups and joined hands to fight against British Rule. While the British government sent hundreds of thousands people to stop the revolt in 1948, many died due to mismanagement of resources. On 19th September 1952, a huge uprising against British rule descended on Patna and went on till the end of the day forcing the British government to surrender its capital state. At least 20,000 people lost their lives at the hands of Indian troops leading to widespread fear and anxiety amongst Jharkhand natives towards their former masters.After the Liberation War in 1945, the British government started exerting pressure on Jharkhand which gave rise to a civil war. In 1950s, mass suicides took place and large number of children lost their lives. Between 1953 and 1956, three major suicide attacks occurred in Mumbai, Guwahati and Hyderabad. Around 1960s, a civil war broke out which made the Jharkhand Region the worst affected area in India in 1962. Even though the local security and paramilitary forces managed to hold off the attack, over 22,000 people lost their lives in the first weeks and sustained heavy losses on the international stage. With the onset of insurgency, the Jharkhand Police Station was attacked and demolished resulting in deaths of more than 25 policemen and civilians. On 28th January 1966, two senior police personnel were killed while over 50 policemen were injured during a shootout in Charsa when they blocked roads and opened fire on the insurgents. During 1968 and 1969, fighting between the Central forces (including those under the garb of counter terrorism) and Jharkhand troops continued for months. From 1971 onwards, several brutal military actions took place including firing indiscriminately at civilian homes, hospitals, schools and markets. When the last major battle took place, approximately 4,000 Jhanvi people, mostly Muslims, were brutally massacred by the Jhanmi Militia.The aftermath of such violence was marked by social upheaval. Following the death of Ravi Shankar Prasad, there emerged separatist movements against British rule. In 1972, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi launched the Non State of Jharkhand Movement aimed at promoting autonomy. Under the Jharkhand movement movement, a resolution was passed demanding self rule and equal rights for all. In 1973, Kashmiris began to feel that they needed autonomy because they wanted to exercise their political rights and political autonomy. As a consequence, an agitation of J-K citizens began in Delhi on 26 January 1984 and this gained popularity in Jharkhand by 1988. Jharkhand and Punjab, the largest Muslim majority states in India, formed a joint front to fight British rule. On 21 December 1989, in Rajasthan, protesting Muslims threw their shoes across the Ganges River. People from different parts of the country, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as well as Kolkata began throwing their shoes.
The shoe throwers subsequently raised slogans against the British rule. Similarly, in 1994, Muslims took part in another demonstration against British Rule and demanded justice to the people who have suffered at the hand of British Rule. | FINEWEB-EDU |
New York State Route 190
New York State Route 190 (NY 190) is a 31.84 mi east–west state highway in the North Country of New York in the United States. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 374 in the community of Brainardsville within the town of Bellmont. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with NY 3 west of the city of Plattsburgh. The portion of NY 190 in Clinton County east of Ellenburg is known as the Military Turnpike.
Route description
NY 190 begins at an intersection with NY 374 in the hamlet of Brainardsville (in the town of Bellmont) as an eastward continuation of County Route 24 (CR 24; Brainardsville Road). NY 190 progresses eastward through the hamlet, passing farms as it leaves. The route bends to the northeast soon after, intersecting with County Line Road, where NY 190 crosses into Clinton County, enters the town of Ellenburg and becomes known as Star Road. NY 190 crosses through Ellenburg as the same two-lane rural highway, passing farms as it bends northeast. During the elongated bend to the northeast, NY 190 intersects with CR 2 (Brandy Brook Road). After a distance, NY 190 begins paralleling to the north of CR 5 (Ellenburg Center Road), which merges into the right-of-way near the hamlet of Ellenburg. CR 5 doubles as a former alignment of NY 190. In the hamlet, the route passes south of a mobile home park and intersects with NY 971L, a reference route that connects NY 190 to U.S. Route 11 (US 11). At this junction, NY 190 turns eastward back through the town of Ellenburg, changing monikers to Military Turnpike and remaining a two-lane rural arterial. NY 190 passes to the south of Lake Roxane, where the route becomes surrounded by trees and sporadic homes.
After straightening out from a southeastern progression, NY 190 intersects with CR 8 (Plank Road) in the town of Altona. Altona remains as rural as Ellenburg, with NY 190 intersecting CR 11 (Forest Road) near the hamlet of Forest. While making a gradual turn to the southeast, CR 12 (Alder Bend Road) intersects, and NY 190 parallels power lines into the Miner Lake area. In Miner Lake, NY 190 has a short concurrency with CR 16 (Devils Den Road / Rand Hill Road). After Miner Lake, the route enters the hamlet of Robinson, where it begins another elongated turn, this time towards the south. Intersecting with the eastern terminus of CR 24 (Recore Road), NY 190 enters Beekmantown, where it finishes the southern turn. After completing the turn, NY 190 intersects with CR 27 (Duqette Road) in the hamlet of West Beekmantown. The route remains rural, soon entering the town of Plattsburgh, where NY 190 intersects NY 374 for the second time, 31 mi from Brainardsville. NY 190 bends to the southeast once again, intersecting the terminus of CR 26 (Tom Miller Road) before passing some businesses in Plattsburgh. NY 190 then intersects with NY 3 (Blake Road), where the designation terminates. Military Turnpike continues eastward past the Clinton County Airport and through the town of Plattsburgh towards NY 22.
History
NY 190 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to an east–west highway extending from NY 374 in The Forge to US 11 in Ellenburg by way of Ellenburg Center. On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of NY 190 from NY 374 eastward to its junction with Star Road southwest of Ellenburg was transferred from the state of New York to Franklin and Clinton counties as part of a pair of highway maintenance swaps between the state and the two counties. In return, the state assumed maintenance of Star Road, an east–west road linking NY 374 in Brainardsville to NY 190, and Military Turnpike, a highway connecting Ellenburg to NY 3 in the town of Plattsburgh. Both highways became part of a reconfigured NY 190, which now began in Brainardsville and ended west of the city of Plattsburgh. As a result of the realignment, NY 190 no longer directly connected to US 11 in Ellenburg; instead, the connection was now made by way of NY 971L, an unsigned reference route. The former routing of NY 190 west of Star Road is designated as CR 54 in Franklin County and CR 5 in Clinton County. | WIKI |

Linux Question
How to ensure a rake task only running a process at a time
I use crontab to invoke rake task at some time for example: every 3 hour
I want to ensure that when crontab ready to execute the rake task
it can check the rake task is running. if it is so don't execute.
how to do this. thanks.
Answer
You could use a lock file for this. When the task runs, try to grab the lock and run the rake task if you get the lock. If you don't get the lock, then don't run rake; you might want to log an error or warning somewhere too or you can end up with your rake task not doing anything for weeks or months before you know about it. When rake exits, unlock the lock file.
Something like RAA might help but I haven't used it so maybe not.
You could also use a PID file. You'd have a file somewhere that holds the rake processes process ID. Before starting rake, you read the PID from that file and see if the process is running; if it isn't then start up rake and write its PID to the PID file. When rake exists, delete the PID file. You'd want to combine this with locking on the PID file if you want to be really strict but this depends on your particular situation. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Israeli PM Ariel Sharon declared 'permanently incapacitated'
The Israeli cabinet today (Tuesday) declared Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "permanently incapacitated," a declaration that officially ends his tenure as Prime Minister.
Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, whose centrist Kadima party won parliamentary elections in March, is currently in negotiations to form a coalition government.
Sharon has been in a coma since suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke on January 4. Under Israeli law, Olmert can serve in the capacity of acting prime minister for only 100 days, until April 14, before a permanent replacement must be chosen. The official announcement was moved up to Tuesday because the Jewish holiday of Passover begins on Wednesday, April 12. Olmert is expected to be named as Sharon's permanent replacement. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Eupithecia columbiata
Eupithecia columbiata is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904. It is found in North America from eastern Newfoundland and Labrador to Vancouver Island, south to North Carolina in the east and Colorado in the west.
The wingspan is 13–24 mm. Adults are on wing in spring, from mid April to mid June in Alberta.
The larvae feed on Rhamnus purshiana, Betula papyrifera, Salix, Prunus, Alnus, Cornus, Philadelphus, Ceanothus, Populus, Amelanchier and Acer species. | WIKI |

Set and Configure Measurement Units (Report Builder and SSRS)
Indicators provide two measurement units: percentage and numeric. By default, indicators are configured to use percentages as the measurement unit. This means that the indicator values assigned to each icon in the indicator set are determined by a percentage range. The percentage ranges are evenly divided across the icons in the indicator set. Each icon represents an indicator state. You can change the percentages for each icon in the indicator set by specifying different start and end percentages. Indicators also automatically detect the minimum and maximum values in the data.
You can change the measurement unit to be a numeric value. In this case, you do not specify minimum or maximum for the data; instead, you provide only the start and end values for each icon that the indicator uses.
Options such as measurement units can be set by using expressions. For more information, see Expressions (Report Builder and SSRS).
Note Note
You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. For more information, see Designing Reports in Report Designer and Report Builder (SSRS) on the Web at microsoft.com.
To use the numeric state measurement unit
1. Right-click the indicator you want to change and click Indicator Properties.
2. Click Values and States in the left pane.
3. In the States Measurement Unit list, click Numeric.
Optionally, click the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the value of the option.
4. For each icon in the indicator set, update the values in the Start and End text boxes.
Optionally, click the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the values of the Start and End options.
Note Note
The values in the Start and End text boxes must be numeric.
5. Click OK.
To use the percentage measurement unit
1. Right-click the indicator you want to change and click Indicator Properties.
2. Click Values and States in the left pane.
3. In the States Measurement Unit list, click Percentage.
Optionally, click the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the value of the option.
4. Optionally, change the Minimum and Maximum options to use specific values instead of automatically detecting the minimum and maximum values of the data that the indicator uses. The value of Minimum must be smaller than the value of Maximum.
Note Note
If you explicitly set minimum and maximum values, that value range is used by the indicator regardless of the actual the minimum and maximum values in the data. This means that values lower than the minimum and higher than the maximum are excluded from the evaluation that determine what indictor icon to show in the report.
Optionally, click the Expression (fx) button to edit an expression that sets the values of the option.
5. For each icon in the indicator set, update the values in the Start and End text boxes.

Computer Networking
Definition - What does Computer Networking mean?
Computer networking is an engineering discipline that aims to study and analyze the communication process among various computing devices or computer systems that are linked, or networked, together to exchange information and share resources.
Computer networking depends on the theoretical application and practical implementation of fields like computer engineering, computer sciences, information technology and telecommunication.
Techopedia explains Computer Networking
A router, network card and protocols are the essential pillars upon which any network is built. Computer networks are the backbone of modern-day communication. Even public switched telephone networks are controlled by computer systems; most telephonic services are also working with IP.
The increasing scope of communication has led to much advancement in the networking field and in its relative industries like hardware, software manufacturing and integration. As a result, most households have access to one or more networks. There are three broad network types:
• Local Area Network (LAN): Used to serve a small number of people located in a small geographical space. Peer-to-peer or client server networking methods can be employed.
• Wide Area Network (WAN): Formed to connect a computer with its peripheral resources across a large geographical area.
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)/Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN): Formed without the use of wires or physical media to connect hosts with the server. The data is transferred over radio transceivers.

Kiwi likes HTTP. Kiwi likes REST. Kiwi doesn't like it when you have to do tedious things like writing down urls to get data from your server.
== Models map to Resources
We can define a couple of models
$m('Post', { resource: 'posts', has: {'comments':'Comment'} })
$m('Comment', {resource: 'comments'})
So now we can say, in a controller
$m.Post.find('all', this.publish)
or
$m.Post.find(1).comments.find('all', this.publish)
or perhaps
$m.Post.find(1).comments.find(12).destroy(this.publish)
The http requests that get fired are, respectively:
http://domain.com/posts (GET) http://domain.com/posts/1/comments (GET) http://domain.com/posts/1/comments/12 (DELETE)
== HTTP error codes rule
If our server returns a different status code for each server error (or error class), we can easily react differently in the front end:
In a view:
$v('CommentList', { listeners: { '.more click': {action: 'Comments.get', onerror: 'errors'} }, errors: { 404: function(){ alert("Sorry, not found!") }, 403: function(statuscode, message){ alert(message) } } })
We can also define a catch all error handler in case none of them are defined in our view:
$k.options.globalerrorhandler.base = function(){ alert("You got some random error!") }
== Concise and flexible parameter passing
In a controller
$m.Post.create(this.params, this.publish)
This will automatically serialize the parameters in the form of the calling view and send it over the wire. Currently this.params assumes that you have only one form per view.
If you need to set a prefix to your parameters, simply set:
this.options.param_prefix = 'post'
before calling the model.
You can also set as the parameter argument a jQuery object representing a form, or a function that returns either jQuery-ized form, an arbitrary object you want to serialize, or a string.

Kiwi is good for this and other things. It can be improved in many ways, and I would love some help :)

Talk:National Research Council (United States)
Global warming
I've removed the section about climate change, as it didn't actually have much to do with the NRC itself. I see there was some early negotion via edit summaries in a short revert war. If there are still objections, let's discuss it here.--ragesoss 01:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Testing chemicals in live animals can be expensive and slow, and newer test-tube methods may work better, the National Research Council reported on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT
Rapid, automated tests called high-throughput assays can replace animals and assess hundreds or thousands of chemicals very quickly, the Council said in its report.
"Recent advances in systems biology, testing in cells and tissues, and related scientific fields offer the potential to fundamentally change the way chemicals are tested for risks they may pose to humans," the Council, which advises Congress and the federal government on scientific matters, said in a statement.
"The new approach would generate more-relevant data to evaluate risks people face, expand the number of chemicals that could be scrutinized, and reduce the time, money, and animals involved in testing," it added.
Most new chemicals, pesticides and many other products are tested using live animals such as rats and mice to see if they cause cancer, skin irritation or other effects.
"But how relevant the animal tests are for humans, usually exposed at much lower doses, has often been called into question," the Council said.
"Moreover, the current approach is time-consuming and costly, resulting in an overburdened system that leaves many chemicals untested, despite potential human exposure to them," it added.
And animal welfare groups question the practice.
So the Environmental Protection Agency asked the independent, nonprofit Research Council to develop a new approach and strategy for toxicity testing.
A committee of toxicologists, pharmacists, environmentalists and other experts appointed by the Council recommends high-throughput assays. They could use human cells for even better accuracy.
"Over time, the need for traditional animal testing could be greatly reduced, and possibly even eliminated someday," the Council statement said.
"For the foreseeable future, however, targeted tests in animals would need to be used to complement the in vitro tests, because current methods cannot yet adequately mirror the metabolism of a whole animal."

Adding site to WikiProject Engineering
Probably no organization has shaped US Federal policy on risk assessment and project management practices more than the NRC. It has published by its own count some 100 publications in this area. NRC’s 2007 study on the US OMB proposed risk assessment guidelines was viewed by many as pivotal in influencing OMB to recall the proposed technical guidance. For the serious student in risk management practiced in the context of a policy environment, these reports are an undisputable wealth of information. They lay out a number of definitions, concepts and criteria useful for effective and quality decisions and programs. While the reports predominate in coverage on hazard analysis for such agencies as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), they have potential for application to engineering and cost risk assessment for Federally assisted projects in the US. Consistent throughout the reports is a stated objective to improve US federal risk assessment activities. My objective to develop main article pages on these salient reports consistent with wiki's citation requirements. Thanks

Talk:Etymological fallacy
Inappropriate examples
I am unhappy about the choice of examples on this page. 'Boy' may only mean 'male human child' in the writer's dialect of English, but in many parts of the world - South Africa, parts of the USA for example - it still has the connotation of inferiority and is regarded as a racist term. In Britain, also, the meaning 'assistant' is by no means dead, though perhaps now confined to 'trades' - i.e. occupations involving primarily manual skills. A plumber who recently repaired my central heating had a 'boy' older than he was. Similarly the association 'boys are unruly' is very much part of our social conditioning: here in Britain, the papers regularly use 'gang of boys' even when girls are involved too, but 'abuse of children' even when all the children are male. For a wikipedia entry we need examples which are independent of dialect.
There is a converse fallacy to the etymological fallacy: that 'how I use a word' is 'the way everyone always uses and has always used the word'. For example, I recently heard a pundit on the radio advocating that women should behave inconsiderately because 'manners maketh man' and therefore politeness is only relevant to males and is an instrument of male domination. This commits the fallacy twice over (alongside other fallacies).
The last section, on Extremes, is not an example of the etymological fallacy, and does not belong here. It is an example of 'a little learning is a dangerous thing', commonly known nowadays as the 'wikipedia fallacy'.OldTownAdge (talk) 10:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
* Agree that the last section does not belong here. I will therefore delete it now. Ignorance of the meaning of an abbreviation (like "frequent.") is not an "etymological fallacy." It's simply ignorance of an abbreviation. A comparison -- The term "ANOVA" is often used in statistics for models that analyze variance. If I were to read an article where statistics are mentioned, and I misinterpreted that term to mean that the authors were arguing against the PBS Series NOVA, I would not be committing a "statistical fallacy." I would just be grossly ignorant about the terminology of statistics. It certainly isn't an "extreme" version of any kind of "statistical fallacy." And anyone who is tempted to revert because this section has a "source" -- please realize that the "source" is only to the quoted etymology, not to the actual content of the section and its argument about what constitutes an extreme case of an "etymological fallacy."
* Also, there needs to be at least at least some reference to the fact that etymologies often are actually useful for thinking about and learning about the meanings of words. Yes, it is a fallacy to conclude that a word means something now only because it is derived from another word that hasn't been used for a thousand years. And it's a fallacy to assume that a modern meaning is incorrect because it conflicts with such an etymology. But, on the other hand, there is a good reason why so many dictionaries contain etymologies. Most sources for words do in fact have some clear relationship to the modern usage of the word, so learning about the etymology and history of meanings and usage of a word can give insight into its modern meaning, just as the history of a country or a person can give insight into their current actions. So, not all use of etymology to think about the meaning of a word is a "fallacy." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
the examples are not very good, and the article is also starved for references, especially references establishing notability of the concept. The concept certainly exists, but the question is does it need its own article. Here is a decent example, the Old English word gethrofta is glossed as "one who sits on the same rowing-bench, companion". This is presented as two possible meanings by the glossators, while all evidence we have indicates that the first is simply the etymology, while the second is the only attested meaning. The etymological fallacy is, then, the false assumption that a word may still be used etymologically while it is not in fact so used any longer. An exactly parallel case would be a glossing of companion as "somebody with whom one shares bread, partner", or comrade "room-mate, partner", or fellow "one who pays a fee, partner". Perhaps a similar example would be world "age of mankind, place inhabited by mankind" (while in fact world today means a place, not an age). Another type of etymological fallacy is the translation by etymological cognate (false friends): translating German faul "lazy" as foul, you have correctly recognized that faul and foul have an identical etymology, but you have failed to observe that they do not mean the same thing and thus do not translate one another. Perhaps this page should be merged into false friend. --dab (𒁳) 15:10, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
All of the listed examples are fallacious. Evidence of absence, false friends and anecdotal evidence, total POV BS
- Just because there are fewer examples of hound meaning just 'dog' does not mean it is incorrect to refer to any dog as a hound.
- Knight obviously was not equivalent to servant, or they would have just called them servants. The increase of 'rank' is literally inherent, it just means 'servant (of a higher rank)'
- Same as above, knave was never used in English to be equivalent to 'boy.' It meant 'boy (of a lower rank)'
- Stupidest one so far. 'Breadwinner' is still a valid term, basically the household equivalent to Lord, which would make the household equivalent to Lady the 'Breadmaker.' Absolutely valid context.
- The only thing wrong with Chase's conclusion is the word 'merely.' Logic is the manipulation of words, yes, but also more than that.
- An apology is no less a speech in defense today than it was in 500 BC Greece.
- Anyone criticising the contrary terms in 'grow smaller' or 'climb down' must have real trouble doing the equation 5 x -5 The Quiet Pirate (talk) 21:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
* Your understanding of language is naive. "Knight obviously was not equivalent to servant, or they would have just called them servants" contains the following assumptions:
* The word "servant" existed back then.
* People do not invent new words for a thing if another word for the thing already exists.
* All people at all places use the same word for the same thing. (If this assumption is wrong, people can use "servant" in the North and "knight" in the South for the same thing, for example.)
* I don't know about the first assumption, but the other two are obviously wrong. Your other claims are equally doubtful, but since the purpose of this page is improving the article, I will refrain from taking them apart. --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
* "Your understanding of language is naive." Feels weird to say here, but uh, citation needed.
* Serf, servant and slave were all 'English translations' of Latin words that existed before even the advent of Old English.
* If it ain't broke don't fix it, also how am I supposed to prove a negative?
* To imply that Knight itself has to mean the same thing in English as it did in German is a false friend
* Also no, I think you chose the only point I gave that has any doubt whatsoever, I would like a second opinion. And who's to say us having this debate won't result in a better entry? I think it's worth a shot. The Quiet Pirate (talk) 02:33, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
POV on true meaning
The article currently claims:
A variant of the etymological fallacy involves looking for the "true" meaning of words by delving into their etymologies.
This statement has several problems, including at least:
o It makes a presupposition about what the true meaning of a word is.
o It overlooks that this is often quite right and proper, say in the case of the so-often abused word ``decimate''.
o It does not make any discussion of the issue of when a word should be considered having changed in meaning, when a new meaning is a misuse, when an old meaning becomes (too) archaic, and similar. (This, incidentally, is a very tricky problem, with aspects of the sorites paradox combined with issues of geography and demography.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Eriksson (talk • contribs) 12:44, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
* It does not look like a presupposition to me – "true" is quoted to indicate it's problematic to talk about "true" meanings anyway.
* I agree that the article would need a discussion of etymology vs. "present" meaning, which is indeed tricky. Perhaps this is already discussed elsewhere (Etymology, Language change...?) and could be linked from here.
* Incidentally, Sihler (Language History) gives "decimate" as an example of an etymological fallacy :-) Who decides on the true meaning? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 21:50, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
* In my reading, "true" (quote marks included) is used to indicate that the meaning is, in fact, not the true one. To me, they do not in anyway remove the presupposition, but introduce an element of disparagement. At best, then, a reformulation for less ambiguity is needed.Michael Eriksson (talk) 11:46, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
* I see what you mean. At the moment, I can't think of a more neutral way to bring the point across. People committing an etymological fallacy typically argue on the lines of "This word does not mean X but Y because its etymology is so-and-so", so it's hard to imagine a way of conferring this to our readers without suggesting that the fallacy (or the one committing it) is concerned with an alleged true meaning as opposed to the one that is actually used in current everyday speech. At least two of the sources use a similar wording.
* This seems to be a more general problem with the fallacy articles, one of the more extreme examples being the sentence "Gee, it can't be worth much if someone local thought of it first." in Invented Here. If you can think of a phrasing that makes clear the fallaciousness of the arguments while being not disparaging towards people who use them, feel free to edit. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
In the case of the phrase "anti-Semitism" it is evident that historically the phrase is used to identify Hatred of a Jewish person or collective. While in common culture we see a shift of People making the case that, Arab hate is also considered anti-Semitism. While this may not have been the intended meaning of the phrase, its seems as though the meaning of it is evolving as per culture. Associating Anti-Semitism with Arabs is not yet part of common culture but we see that articles are starting to appear that use anti-Semitism be associated with Hatred of an Arab or collective. It should be stated that the word "Muslim" and "Arab" are NOT interchangeable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:54, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
* There are further problems with the antisemitism example. Firstly, the contributor is amusingly unaware that, by harking back to the meaning intended when the phrase was created, and assuming that must be the current meaning, they are also committing the etymological fallacy. It also seems strange to bring such an emotional phrase into this article; that is not to say it can't be used but we may be entitled to consider the possible motivations of the contributor. Here, little details such as "One word with an unchanged meaning and a misleading etymology" (why does this person get to decide these two things?) or "fallacious argument is made that .... opposition to other would-be Semitic peoples should also be considered antisemitism." Would-be semitic? Leaving aside the racist overtones, the contributor here is obviously deeply concerned to restrict the reference to a small group, rather than any other possible interpretation. In terms of general usage, they may even be correct, but I would suggest their interest is largely political, which is unhelpful for this article in particular and WP in general. Pingulion (talk) 22:20, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
Who defines meaning
I find this silly. If it is so that there is a fallacy based on 'historical meaning' and 'current meaning' then it is easy to conceive that the 'new' or 'current' meaning find a new word to express itself rather then completely alter a word, especially if this word itself derives/includes/uses other ones. And, who/what "defines" meaning anyway? This is a political act and yet this article is as if "meaning" was a fixed proposition rather than the result of socio-political struggle. "Meaning" does not just appear. It is constructed indeed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
* I don't think meaning is constructed except in a few cases where new objects (like a computer mouse) are consciously named. Changes of meaning just happen, like changes of pronunciation. No one ever devised the Great Vowel Shift, and no one ever actually "altered" the word hound, deciding it should not refer to all kinds of dogs any more (see Semantic change).
* The question who defines meaning is the crucial point. No one, actually – the sense of a word is how the majority of speakers use it; and this is, of course, a source for misunderstandings and fruitless discussions about the "real" meaning. We should have an article about this, but I can't find one. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC)--ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I think that a good example could be sourced to http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theodore_drange/definition.html un☯mi 23:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Hounds?
I don't find this to be a particularly good example. I thought hound just meant dog generally. I thought the article was going to say the opposite thing. --WikiDonn (talk) 21:26, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
* My dictionary (Cassell) defines a hound as a "dog used in hunting"; see also . However, I certainly wouldn't object if you exchanged this for a better example :-) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Tolkien
Reading the original essay, it seems to me that Tolkien didn't mean the same thing by "etymological fallacy" as this article is about.
I think Tolkien meant that we should not be misled into thinking that Old English words which look similar to Modern English words are related gssq (talk) 04:11, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
* Yeah. This whole page really doesn't sound like Tolkien at all! --BenMcLean (talk) 05:15, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
gypped
I think this article could use some NPOV. These examples seem controversial. I'd like to hear the explanation why it would pass muster to say that someone gypped you out of your money, but not that he jewed you out of it. Wnt (talk) 18:50, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
* The "gyp" example is poor for a lot of reasons. In addition to what you mentioned, there's also the fact that offense is a subjective thing, so someone saying that they, personally, find something offensive and giving a reason is a statement of fact not an argument.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:05, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Protagoras (dialogue)
Plato represents Socrates as arguing against the idea of shifting definitions in the Protagoras, the Euthydemus (dialogue) and many other places. Many great philosophers would strongly disagree with much of what this page says. I expect that most metaphysical libertarians, for example, would argue against Compatibilism from the idea of the word "freedom" or the term "free will" having an essential, true meaning. Many great philosophies have held that words correspond to true essences. This page dogmatically takes controversial positions on these and a whole slew of other philosophy of language-related objections. --BenMcLean (talk) 05:11, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Tagged for cleanup
See the rest of the talk page above for specifics, especially the last comment about philosophical disagreements. This is NOT a logical fallacy, but rather an informal fallacy. (that needs more discussion than a "See Also" link) Additionally, it is POV to presume that the definition of a word is what some plurality of humans determine it to be. Many words (such as xenophobic, homophobic) don't mean the same thing to everybody. The fallacy is only invoked when used to base an argument on a word's definition alone. Examples of when something is vs. isn't a fallacy would be good. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
validity of assuming this is a fallacy in the first place
I dispute that this is a fallacy AT ALL. It is more like an ad hoc movement by people who doesn't understand that words are intended to have a meaning, and that changing it (through history) renders their arguments invalid. Why is this considered a fallacy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bodhidharmazen (talk • contribs) 15:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
* Words and meanings obviously do change throughout history or you wouldn't have posted that in modern 21st-century English, would you? Equinox ◑ 13:04, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Isn't this just a typical semantic fallacy, 'argument is invalid if argument relies on contrary definition?' The Quiet Pirate (talk) 21:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Should this even be a unique page?
After some thought, I can't even think of a single etymologically fallacious argument that isn't also some other, more accurate genetic fallacy. I assert that this page should be chopped up and dispersed among the other genetic fallacy pages i.e. the association fallacy page, the non sequitur, even the ad hominem (circumstantial), and to make it so any search for 'etymological fallacy' redirects to the genetic fallacy page, with a statement on the genetic fallacy page explaining the situation for anyone who gets redirected and is confused. If no one disagrees, I'll go ahead and do the edit to the other sections myself in about a week, then tag this AfD The Quiet Pirate (talk) 22:42, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
* You misunderstand the purpose of an encyclopedia. What we do here is:
* explain an existing concept,
* point the reader to existing literature about the concept.
* We just reproduce what reliable sources say. We do not decide that a concept makes no sense, invent new concepts, or develop ideas about the concept. If you want to do that, please go somewhere else, such as a scientific journal, a blog or a forum. --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:26, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
* That is not what I meant to suggest. My premise was not to conclude that the concept of the etymological fallacy makes no sense, but that the original author had made various conclusions without what I understand to be sufficient proofs for a Wikipedia article. Perhaps the tags that were already there are enough, now you mention it I'll try do what the tags say and see if I can come up with an article I think does deserve to exist. I'm pretty new, so I'll just draft it here? ALSO: Is there a fallacy for if someone asserts the modern definition is more relevant like a reverse etymological fallacy? I feel like that would be helpful to mention if so, I can't seem to find one though.
* The etymological fallacy is an informal genetic fallacy holding that the present-day meaning of a word or phrase should necessarily be derived from an historical usage. This is a linguistic misconception, and is sometimes used as a basis for linguistic prescription. An argument constitutes an etymological fallacy if it makes a claim about the present meaning of a word based exclusively on its etymology. This does not, however, show that etymology is irrelevant in any way, nor does it attempt to prove such.
* Prerequisites
* The etymological fallacy occurs when a criticism is made that a word's historical usage is more relevant than any other usage of the same word, or when an allegation that a certain definition or usage for a word is objectively either right or wrong as justified by an appeal to the word's etymology. Not simply any criticism of a word's usage constitutes a fallacy, the easiest way to prevent any argument from employing an etymological fallacy is to provide more justification for the validity of their alleged 'true' definition than simply the word's own history.
* Examples
* Dilapidated should only be used in reference to products made of stone, because it is derived from the Latin word for stone
* Decimate should not be used to refer to a reduction greater than 10%"
* You can't use manure to mean fermented animal dung as it first meant to work the land
* It's offensive to say one was gypped in reference to being stolen from or cheated as it is [rumoured to be] derived from Gypsy

Idiot
I added the following text:
* An example of a reverse etymological fallacy is to conclude that the ancient Greeks disparaged those who did not participate in public life because the Greek word ἰδιώτης idiōtēs 'private person, private citizen, layman' is the origin of the modern word idiot, meaning 'fool'.
reverted, saying: "This is a significant misrepresentation of what the (quite instructive) source say". In what way is it a misrepresentation? The cited article starts off:
* It is well-known that our word 'idiot' is derived from the Greek word 'idiotes' which meant 'private person*, 'non-participant in public (i.e., political) affairs. On this pebble of etymology, large assertions are built about differences between Greek and modern attitudes to political participation and private life. Hannah Arendt, for instance, says that the Greeks believed that a life spent in the privacy of 'one's own' (idion) outside the world of 'the common' is 'idiotic' by definition (1958:39). The foundation is insufficient and ignores the rich ambiguity of 'idiotes'.
And it concludes:
* Of course, there are differences between Greek and modern political attitudes, but, if we want to talk about them, we should first take a good hard look at the documents, not rely on a scrap of not very accurate philology.
This says clearly that the political interpretation is founded on a "pebble of etymology" which is a "scrap of not very accurate philology". That is, it establishes that etymology is not a reliable indication of the ancient meaning of "idiot" (hence 'reverse' etymological fallacy). It also establishes that Arendt is interpreting the word based on its history ("by definition"). What additional evidence is needed to show that this is an instance of a reverse etymological fallacy? --Macrakis (talk) 14:52, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* This is your interpretation of the term. The source does not refer to any fallacy. Hence this is original research, not to say your invention of the definition of "reverse eti fa". I can go further and argue this is not a fallacy at all, but this is not the point. Your example is contestable, therefore even if your interpretation is correct, you have to prove it by a direct statement. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* What exactly do you think that Sparkes's point is other than to point out the etymological fallacy? -- couched, of course, in very polite academic language.
* He starts by mentioning the etymology of the modern word "idiot"; he then says that "large assertions" are made based on a "pebble of etymology"; he quotes Arendt's use of the English word "idiotic". He establishes that ancient idiotes has a range of meanings (none of them derogatory, and certainly none corresponding to the modern word 'idiot'), and he concludes that we should "not rely on a scrap of not very accurate philology". True, he does not use the word "fallacy", but wikipedia articles are about concepts, not words.
* I agree that "reverse etymological fallacy" is not a widely-used term (though it does appear in various places); it simply describes the fallacy of using the modern meaning to interpret its etymon rather than vice versa. Do you have better phrasing to suggest? --Macrakis (talk) 16:56, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* Please... This is not "etymological fallacy" as defined in the article. Just give me a reference or let it go . Staszek Lem (talk) 18:34, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* The opening sentence of the lead is "The etymological fallacy is a genetic fallacy that holds that the present-day meaning of a word or phrase should necessarily be similar to its historical meaning."
* The modern meaning of "idiot" is clearly not similar to the ancient meaning as documented in LSJ. The first citation as a term of abuse ('ignoramus') is very late (Lucian, 2c CE).
* The cited article shows Arendt interpreting the ancient term via the present-day meaning.
* I really wonder why you're so insistent in this case, when it is better documented that most of the other cases in the article. (see below) --Macrakis (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* No it is not documented: it is your opinion inferred from the cited text, but not directly stated there. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:35, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* I am insistent for a single reason: WP:CITE . You are interpreting what Sparkes is interpreting what Arendt was interpreting. A wee bit longish chain of interpretation prone to turn into Chinese whispers. I have a different interpretation: making an assumption and try to draw a conclusion is a normal way of scientific inquiry. Words change their meaning not without reason. I did not read Arendt and don't want to, but I may assume that Arendt assumed that semantic shift started in antiquity. Failed assumption is not the same as fallacy. (You will be surprised how much of historical science is based on rather shaky assumptions, which acquired "truthiness" per authority (a fallacy to you :-) In particular, a sizable chunk of olden, pre-literate history is based on "pebbles of etymology" found in toponyms, so I find Sparkes' condescending tone out of place). And I do not care I may be wrong about Arendt and Sparkes and Aristophages, and no, I am not discussing this any longer, per WP:SOAP. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* It is strange that you invoke WP:CITE, when this case has a better source, Sparkes, than most of the other examples, and it says exactly what needs to be said. I don't understand what you think is missing. Arendt is just an example for him of the fallacy -- there are certainly many more.
* I'm afraid I don't follow some of your other arguments, but since you don't want to discuss them....
* Since we don't seem to be understanding each other's positions, I suppose the most productive way forward is to ask for a third opinion. --Macrakis (talk) 22:58, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* No! Sparks does not say it is etymological fallacy. He just mocks poor scholarship. And my argument is an explanation that poor scholarship is not necessarily fallacy. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* No! Sparks does not say it is etymological fallacy. He just mocks poor scholarship. And my argument is an explanation that poor scholarship is not necessarily fallacy. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* I think I see your point. Let me rephrase it in my words to see if we agree: Many modern authors have assumed that the ancient word idiōtēs 'private citizen, layman' also had the derogatory meaning expressed by the modern 'idiot', and thus concluded that the ancients considered those not involved in politics to be idiots. This is incorrect, but not an etymological fallacy.
* I think we could have closed out this discussion faster if you'd been more explicit.
* Best, --Macrakis (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
* Yes. The assumption that a person "out of our circle" is disliked and therefore the term referring to them becomes derogatory, is sound, and we have many examples of this. The second assumption, that the "not one of us" are viewed as stupid, is also common. However the overall conclusion discussed here is on rather shaky grounds. It is OK as a hypothesis, but to state it as a fact requires more solid evidence. This kind of poor scholarship is surprisingly common. Of my Wikipedia watchlist a good example is "Bolokhovians". These people are mentioned in 2-3 chronicles, possibly coming from a single source. But basing solely on linguistic similarity with the term "Vlah", Romanian scholars declared them to be Romanians and wrote long treatises about where these people lived and what they ate. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:38, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
* I think you are giving too much credit to those who assume that ancient 'idiot' was derogatory. No one presents it as a 'hypothesis'; they just assume it based, probably, on something they heard from someone else. I doubt that any of them actually read the Greek sources or even consulted standard dictionaries before making this claim, which seems to persist as "folklore". I'm trying to track down its origin, but so far no luck. --Macrakis (talk) 18:11, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Article quality
The "prerequisites" section makes no sense. Why do we need examples of semantic shift? The semantic change article is much better. The examples given (hound, knight, knave, lady) don't seem to have any particular relevance to the etymological fallacy.
The source for logos/logic is a blog, fallacyfiles.org, which is not an WP:RS... but, it give a source: Gula's Nonsense. Let's follow that lead. Hmm, that book does not in fact use the exact term "etymological fallacy", though it does have one paragraph describing them; nor does it give the logos/logic example.
The point of the bullet "some dictionaries" is unclear. I think it is trying to say that some dictionaries can be misinterpreted because they don't clearly separate etymologies from senses. But that is not an etymological fallacy.
I don't see where the etymological fallacy is in the apologize example. It just seems to describe the sense-development of the word. Does any modern person claim that it must mean "a speech in defense" rather than "expressing regret"?
"Grow smaller" and "climb down" are not etymological fallacies at all. "Grow" continues to mean "to get larger" as well as "to develop in some direction" and "climb" continues to mean "climb up" as well as "climb down". Etymology is not the issue at all.
So far, the only examples we have with a WP:RS are "decimate" and "idiot", and the "idiot" example was recently deleted.... --Macrakis (talk) 17:20, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* You are free to handle all unrefereced the way you want: delete highly dubious and tag what makes sense. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* About grow: whether you are right or not depends on the definition of the term. The definition here in Wikipedia is tagged as unreferenced. Possibly it comes from Columbia Guide cited later, but I am lazy to verfy. You cannot judge things without sound foundation, right? Staszek Lem (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* About prerequisites. I agree that examples in this section are redundant. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* 'logos': you tracked the source which you say has exapmle. Why don't you cite them?Staszek Lem (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* And so on.... WP:BE BOLD to rewrite everything, as long as you have sources as hand. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
* Yes, I know all that -- I have, after all, been editing Wikipedia for over 13 years and have >30k edits -- but I didn't want to do it until we'd discussed the 'idiot' case more thoroughly.
* As for 'logos', the cited source in fact does not mention 'logos', but gives another example.
* I think it's agreed on this Talk page (see above) that the "prerequisites" needs to go. --Macrakis (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
Proto-Indo-Europeans
Bernspeed (talk) 23:50, 30 March 2020 (UTC) Could the Ancient Greeks and Indians' sense of "true meaning" be considered to be traced back to a Proto-Indo-European concept?
* Hi Bernspeed! Maybe they have had this concept. The question relevant for the Wikipedia article is whether there is a reliable source saying so. One of the main principles of Wikipedia is that we don't include original research, that is, we don't include information just because we think it is true, even if we are quite certain about it. We only use reliable information that is already out there in the world, e.g. in textbooks or peer-reviewed scientific journals. (At least that's the idea. Wikipedia is not perfect, of course, but we aim to be.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:08, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Validity of assuming this is a Fallacy in the first Place, pt. 2
I know that the titularization of this, let's say "thought process", as a fallacy is sourced; however, the way in which it is worded, as "a [...] fallacy that holds that the present-day meaning of a word or phrase should necessarily be similar to its historical meaning", makes it in itself a curiously inverted is-ought fallacy to categorize it as a fallacy. The normative statement what the meaning of a word or phrase should be cannot in itself be factually wrong or mistaken, the term "fallacy" hence does not seem appropriate. --Don Ecchi (talk) 20:03, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
* Thanks for this analysis! I think the problem is indeed the wording of our definition. Sihler (the source given for this sentence) says that to "declare for example that the real meaning of doctor is teacher" constitutes an etymological fallacy. No is–ought fallacy here as far as I can tell. I'll try to reword our lead. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 06:42, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
Relevance in debating
This article seems completely focussed on prescriptive views of language, the idea that people who are conservative about language might think that a new meaning of a word must be wrong because they know an older meaning, which is a fallacy. But surely that is a very trivial use of the concept, hardly deserving its own article, especially as the point is perfectly well covered at linguistic prescription. I would have thought that the "etymological fallacy" really becomes important in completely different concepts, when people cite etymologies to sway political arguments etc. The English word abortion comes from a Latin word that meant "miscarriage". If someone were to build that detail into an argument in the abortion debate to argue that abortion is just a form of miscarriage then we would disallow their argument on the basis they have committed the fallacy of thinking that etymology is relevant to the use of the word in the case at hand. In theological debates you hear a lot of this kind of thing: baptism should be by immersion because the etymology of the word baptism implies "dipping". Surely it is in the context of debating that logical falacies become interesting. Doric Loon (talk) 12:34, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
* The etymology itself is the entire catalogue of meaning that a word has had over its chronological lifetime. While the original meaning may be outdated, the present derived meaning may be manipulated, hijacked, propagandized. Just look at any political concept (like socialism, capitalism, etc) from the 1850's, and then look how people described them by the 1950's. Most scientific terminology goes through the ringer, including the chronological timeline of events that describe the phenomena. Without an etymology, you have fewer references to the historical meaning of the language that recorded events to this point. Even if no direct written evidence of a culture is left, the existence of a derivative language that has that word means that you know certain concepts were in play at a particular time. Semantics and semiotics are necessarily intertwined across time in that way. 2607:9880:3118:34:BD9B:6E7B:88ED:8977 (talk) 19:50, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Anti-semitism
An anonymous editor posted to my talk page to disagree with the slant of the article:
* Since we were talking about the concept of etymology, which, of course, is the catalogue of a word's meaning across time, we can very clearly see that the coinage of the term goes back to Gottenberg school, who explicitly coined the term with racial connotations and conflated semites with Jewish people. As we both agree, there is no world where the definition of semite is independent of its etymology. Semites now, of course, refer to all the speakers of semitic languages, not a specific set within that set. So, if you're conflating anti-semitism and judeaphobia, then you're necessarily resorting back to a racial meaning. And if you're using racial terminology, then I'm afraid that you're classifying people by race."
First off, I'm not doing anything. I'm just reporting what sources say. Sources say that anti-semitism is the same as anti-Judaism (judeaphobia) as you put it. If you disagree with that, well, that's the whole mistaken belief that this section is contesting. Secondly, reporting on the beliefs of racists does not mean endorsing them. Anti-semites are scum. Just... if you ask the anti-Semites themselves... their writings from 1870-1945 or so make pretty clear that they're specifically opposed to Jews.
Nobody uses the term "Semites" seriously aside from crazed Jew-haters, but it'd be especially incorrect to think it means "speakers of Semitic languages." Is Pope Benedict XVI a "Semite" because he knows how to speak Hebrew? While "Semitic languages" is still a family tree in linguistics, "Semite" to mean "speaker of a Semitic language" is not a term in use. SnowFire (talk) 02:12, 13 July 2023 (UTC) | WIKI |

Although a long-standing contentious issue, some lesions currently adhering to the diagnostic criteria of PIN may actually represent the intraductal spread of (generally high grade) invasive cancer. Illustrating this fact, the well-described ductal subtype of prostatic adenocarcinoma is frequently associated with conventional-type acinar adenocarcinoma, and has a tendency to propagate within adjacent intact prostatic ducts.

What’s on your plate? Does overeating cause diabetes?
We live in the modern-day age of convenience where everything is available to us at the touch of a button. A study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine proves that obesity and Type 2 diabetes are even more closely linked to high-calorie diets than was initially thought. According to the findings of the research, overeating can tip your body into a pre-diabetic state in less than a week. This article seeks to shed some light on some of our eating habits and how they might lead us down a path of chronic illness.
1. Diabetes Mellitus and Diet
Diabetes exists in two forms: type-1 and type-2, and approximately 95% of all cases are type-2. It is not known what the exact cause of type-1 diabetes is, but type-2 has been attributed to poor diet and a lack of exercise.
Both types present with excess glucose, or blood sugar, in their blood that is not removed by the hormone called insulin as it should be. In type-2 diabetics, fat, liver, and muscle cells no longer respond correctly to insulin creating an insulin resistance. Symptoms of type-2 diabetes can include fatigue, hunger, increased thirst, blurred vision, erectile dysfunction, increased urination, and slower healing. Notably, people diagnosed with type-2 diabetes are more likely to be overweight because excess fat makes it more difficult for the body to correctly utilize insulin.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) was first recognized as a disease around 3000 years ago by the ancient Egyptians and Indians, illustrating some clinical features very similar to what we now know as diabetes. DM is a combination of two words, “diabetes” Greek word derivative, means siphon – to pass through and the Latin word “mellitus” means honeyed or sweet. In 1776, excess sugar in blood and urine was first confirmed in Great Britain.
2. The Role of Diet in Type 2 Diabetes
In India, a startling observation was made. The disease was almost always confined to rich people who consumed oil, flour, and sugar in excessive amounts. This was further proved by the First and Second World Wars, where declines in the diabetes mortality rates were documented due to food shortage and famines in the countries such as Germany and other European countries. In Berlin, the diabetes mortality rate declined from 23.1/100,000 in 1914 to 10.9/100,000 in 1919. Adversely, there was no change in diabetes mortality rate in other countries that did not experience food shortage at the same period such as Japan and North American countries.
Though consumption of carbohydrates has been shown to increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, sugar is a more harmful culprit. In a 19-month study that involved more than 500 ethnically diverse schoolchildren, it was found that for each additional serving of carbonated drinks consumed, the frequency of obesity increased. This was after adjusting for different parameters such as dietary, demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle.
Recent evidence suggests a link between the intake of soft drinks and obesity and diabetes, principally as a result of large amounts of high fructose corn syrup used in the manufacturing of these drinks. They have the potential to raise blood glucose levels and BMI to the dangerous levels. It was also noted that diet soft drinks contain glycated chemicals that significantly boost insulin resistance.
There has been a strong link between some foods and obesity; both the composition and volume of food matter in this case. High intake of red meat, sweets, and fried foods contribute to the increased risk of insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. Inversely, consumption of vegetables may protect against the development of Type 2 Diabetes, as they are rich in nutrients, fiber and antioxidants which are considered a protective barrier against the diseases.
A recent study of Japanese women, revealed that elevated intake of white rice was associated with an elevated risk of Type 2 Diabetes. Dietary knowledge is a significant factor that influences dietary behaviors.
3. How to Decrease our Chances of Getting Diabetes
• Avoid Fast Food
Several studies have shown that fast-food consumption can further the development of type-2 diabetes. A 2013 study published in the “European Journal of Nutrition” set out to clarify the role of dietary patterns in the onset of type-2 diabetes in overweight people. The study found that diets high in soft drinks and French fries, and low in fruit and vegetables, were associated with a greater risk of type-2 diabetes in overweight participants, particularly among those who are less physically active. A 2005 study published in “Lancet” concluded that fast-food consumption has a strong positive correlation with weight gain and insulin resistance, implying that fast-food intake may promote obesity and type-2 diabetes.
• Minimize Your Sugar Intake
High-sugar diets promote both weight gain and insulin resistance, which eventually lead to a susceptibility to type-2 diabetes. In addition, having type-2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Dietary modifications therefore can greatly reduce the risk of both type-2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
• Note the Quality of Fats You Use
It may just as important to focus on the quality of the fats and carbohydrates consumed in order to prevent type-2 diabetes. High intakes of trans- fatty acids, saturated fats, refined carbohydrates and other processed foods increase the risk for type-2 diabetes, whereas whole grains, polyunsaturated fats, fiber-rich foods, omega-3 fatty acids, and other minimally processed foods can lower your risk.
• Breakfast Should Not be Skipped
Breakfast is an important meal and sometimes thought to be the most important. When missed, it can result in health issues. A 2012 a study published in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” found that skipping breakfast increased the risk for type-2 diabetes, even after adjusting for body mass index. Snacking between meals was also found to increase type-2 diabetes risk.
• Increase Vitamin D Intake
According to the National Institutes of Health, Vitamin D studies show a link between people’s ability to maintain healthy blood glucose levels and having enough vitamin D in their blood. Fish oils, trout, salmon, cheese, eggs, and mushrooms are all good sources of Vitamin D.
• Increase Your Activity
NIDDK
studies show that insulin resistance goes down when you increase how much you move throughout the day. Try increasing your time spent walking for 30 minutes, five days per week (that’s only five 6-minute walks each day at work).
• Do Not Smoke
Ever. According to the CDC, smokers are 30-40 percent more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than nonsmokers.
• Keep Your Waist in Check
According to NIH, a waist measurement of 40 inches or more for men is linked to insulin resistance and increases a person’s risk for Type 2 diabetes. This is true even if a person’s BMI falls within the normal range.
4. Everybody’s responsibility
Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable by taking several simple steps: keeping weight under control, exercising more, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking. Yet it is clear that the burden of behavior change cannot fall entirely on individuals. Families, schools, worksites, healthcare providers, communities, media, the food industry, and government must work together to make healthy choices easy choices. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
An unofficial sample of Malawians shows some consider the first president of the country to be Africa?s most influential leader of the past 50 years. VOA English to Africa reporter Eldson Chagara spoke with Malawians about why the country?s first president is still revered.
Malawi is a country where many people were alleged to have been oppressed and tortured during the one man, and one-party rule of the late Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda. He ruled the country for over 30 years, until 1994.
Banda was born near Kasungu in Malawi (then Nyasaland). His date of birth is unknown, because it took place at a time when British colonial authorities did not keep birth records in its former colony. He claimed to have been born on May 14, 1906 and this date is contained in some biographical guides. However, his death certificate states him to have been 99 years old and it was rumoured that he was actually 101.
Banda was known for his autocratic rule. But according to Mr. Nicholas Dausi, Malawi?s first ruler will always be remembered as one of Africa?s most influential leaders. Dausi is the Vice President of the Malawi Congress Party- the party that Kamuzu formed and ruled Malawi for 31 years. He says Banda was a rare moral ruler in Africa who wanted his people to observe what he called the four cornerstones; unity, loyalty, obedience, and discipline.
Much as some people in Malawi hated the Kamuzu Banda government for the torture he inflicted on his opponents, others say Kamuzu is remembered for his compassion, care and love for his people.
Ellard Manjawira is a lecturer of sociology and journalism with the University of Malawi.
?Kamuzu led the people of Malawi to independence from British colonial rule. During his rule there was stability in the country. There were no wars and the people were united the country was self sufficient in food so he was really a great leader for Malawi and Africa. He was a product of his time because from the early 1960?s almost in every country there was one party rule and under one party rule it was something like dictatorship. But it was during that time that he wanted to unite people so there was no way he would let the people to do things on their own he had to be strong and make people obey the rules of the day,? he said.
Banda was also an advocate of women?s rights unlike many other African rulers during his rule. He founded a women?s body called in vernacular Chitukuko Cha Amai m'Malawi (CCAM) to address the concerns, needs, rights and opportunities for women in Malawi. This institution motivated women to excel both in education and government and encouraged them to play more active roles in their community, church and family.
Social analyst Alfred Machado says much as others viewed him as a dictator, the late Kamuzu Banda was a leader with a mission who encouraged people to develop their own lives and build the nation. He says things changed for the worse after his death.
?There is no much zeal to work just because people have taken democracy as a break from the pressure they were having previously. They were work for fear but with the coming of democracy they say yeah let us now relax this is the time we have been looking for. I think we always want to b e pushed for us to work so it was dictatorship that was pushing us to work than nowadays,? he notes.
Many Malawians say Banda only promised what he would do and did nothing that he did not promise. During his rule, education standards, health facilities and agriculture were given paramount importance.
Alfred Machado says although unemployment was high during the Banda era, many people were able to grow their own crops and live a moderate life. By critics, including many observers outside the country, Banda was often viewed externally as the head of a repressive police state where no dissent was tolerated. Opponents were either exiled or killed.
Journalist Mark Ndipita says Banda was influenced by an era in which one-man rule was commong ? and that he had no choice but to use his powers to the fullest. He says people should not compare Africa?s leadership under multiparty democracy and with that of the one party era.
?We have to understand that each and every leader has the style of ruling. What Kamuzu was trying to do was that he knew that for me to better rule these people I need to do this. Kamuzu did not want other people to attack him. If somebody attacks you, what do you expect? You expect somebody to hit back. So Kamuzu was hitting back at those people who were attacking him. If you kept quiet during Kamuzu era, you wouldn?t be attacked by anyone because you were quiet and everyone knew. So why dare attack Kamuzu saying Kamuzu was a bad person,? he questioned.
Banda became the first President of Malawi on July 6, 1966, when Malawi was declared a one-party republic. He then declared himself president for life in 1971.
A controversial leader for some, but respected by many who think Banda had the country?s best intentions in mind, even if he ruled with a heavy hand.

India’s Bonds Advance on Speculation Banks Boosting Holdings
India ’s 11-year bonds gained for a
fifth day on speculation banks will add to their holdings of
government debt to meet regulatory requirements before the
financial year ends this week. Yields dropped to this year’s lowest level as lenders must
invest at least 24 percent of their deposits in finance ministry
notes and other approved securities. Banks have to declare their
bond holdings to the Reserve Bank of India at the end of each
quarter. Deposits rose to a record 51.4 trillion rupees as of
March 11, according to central bank data. “There is good demand from banks to meet regulatory
requirements,” said A.Y. Shedshale, a Mumbai-based deputy
general manager at Bank of Maharashtra. “That is pushing yields
lower.” The yield on the 8.13 percent note due September 2022
dropped one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 8.01
percent at the 5 p.m. close in Mumbai, according to the central
bank’s trading system. That is the lowest level since Dec. 29. The cost of one-year interest-rate swaps, or derivative
contracts used to guard against fluctuations in borrowing costs,
decreased today. The rate, a fixed payment made to receive
floating rates, dropped two basis points to 7.44 percent. To contact the reporter on this story:

* Not sure it needed that much crop; I kinda prefer the original, with the radar tower not being cut off. Maybe some of the foreground grass could be cropped. You should also add the image to Avro Vulcan in which I think it would have more EV. Consider replacing this one which is of a similar angle, but lower quality than your image. Fletcher (talk) 16:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
* Right, I've cropped the original image to keep the full mast in and reduced the foreground. Also I have added the image to the Avro Vulcan page. Thanks. Sunderland06 (talk) 20:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
* Looks good. One other thing I notice is that nearly all of our aviation featured pics are action shots, where the aircraft is actually flying. Possibly people at FPC will be less enthusiastic about a parked aircraft. Though we have numerous shots of "parked" birds, so that doesn't seem fair. I'd see if anyone else wants to comment and then give it a go. Fletcher (talk) 14:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
* It's a good point about it being parked. The problem I see is that not only is it parked, but it's parked in an fairly unattractive location, with that fence largely filling the bg. To go with the comparison to the parked birds, if you look at the bird FPs they may be mostly parked, but they tend to be quickly opposed if the background isn't appealing and typically 'natural' looking. I'd say that would be the real issue here. But just an opinion. --jjron (talk) 08:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

The two thousand-year-old skeleton was found near Venice in 2007 but new research has revealed injuries consistent with the brutal execution method that could take days to kill victims.
Study of the skeleton showed a lesion and fracture on one of the heel bones, suggesting he had been nailed to a cross.
Crucifixion was a common form of execution for slaves and criminals in Roman times but this is only the second body found with direct evidence of the practice.
The skeleton was found at Gavello, about 25 miles south-west of the historic canal city, during archaeological excavations in preparation for laying a pipeline.
Lead study author Emanuela Gualdi, a medical anthropologist at the University of Ferrara, told Live Science that a sunken, unhealed fracture in the heel suggests a metal nail had been hammered through it.
The study published in this April’s edition of the journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences added: “The perforation (length 24mm) shows a regular round hole passing from the medial side (diameter 9mm) to the lateral one (diameter 6.5mm).
“The pattern of the cross-sectional lesion is linear in the first part, turning slightly downward in the last part.”
They believe the upper limbs were “fixed to the cross by nails through the wrist, as per ancient historical sources”, just as in depictions of Christ’s crucifixion.
The remains were found “with the upper limbs at his side and the lower limbs outstretched”, regarded as an unusual position.
CRUEL PUNISHMENT: How crucifixion killed victims through excruciating pain
Victims would be laid out on the ground and lashed to a wooden cross with their arms stretched out and legs crossed over one another, bent at 45 degrees.
Seven inch nails would then be driven through wrists and feet before the cross was raised upright.
The criminals or slaves would then be left to hang by their arms until they died.
Victims would usually begin by trying to support their weight on their legs but once they gave out the weight would be switched to the arms.
Slowly the shoulders would be dragged from their sockets with the elbows and wrists dislocating a few minutes later.
At this point the arms would be six or seven inches longer than they had been at the start.
The victim would then have no choice but to carry his weight on his chest which would immediately hamper his breathing.
The weight would cause the rib cage to lift up and force him into an almost permanent state of inhalation.
He would then most likely either die of suffocation or his heart giving out.
Sometimes the anguish could last for several days.
But the researchers did say the findings were inconclusive because of the poor condition of the bones.
Unusually for a Roman burial the corpse had not been entombed but buried directly in the dirt.
The lack of burial goods also suggested that he was of low status in society.
Genetic and biological tests on the remains, found that they were from a short skinny man aged between 30 and 34 when he died.
The researchers believe him to have been an underfed slave.
Before this find the only other example found was that of a seven-inch nail taken from the body of a Jewish man found in a tomb in Jerusalem in 1968.

The study of fluid activity during continental deep-subduction and exhumation has been one of forefront subject in earth science, and the study of the water content and hydrogen isotope composition of water in nominally anhydrous minerals can provide a new insight into fluid regime during continental deep-subduction and exhumation. In this thesis, I have developed the TC/EA-MS online method for extraction of water from natural minerals for water content and isotope analyses on the basis of integrating the thermal conversion elemental analyzer (TC/EA) with continuous-flow mass spectrometry (MS). By using the TC/EA-MS online technique, I have made a systematic analysis of the hydrogen isotopes and water contents (structural hydroxyl content and total water content) in nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) from ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, China. In combination with the structural OH measurement by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the oxygen isotope analysis by the laser fluorination (LF) technique, the results provide insights into fluid regime with reference to the chemical geodynamics of continental subduction-zone metamorphism.This on-line TC/EA/MS continuous flow method is not only capable of determining both total H2O concentration and H isotope composition of hydrous minerals, but also suitable for analyses of NAMs. Calibration curves for the H concentration analysis were obtained by variably weighing a standard material of benzoic acid (C7H6O2) that has an H concentration of 5.0 wt%, with analytical uncertainties better than±0.05% in our runs. Our protocols show that the routine analysis of sample sizes as small as 0.01μl H2O is suitable for both H isotope composition and H2O concentration in hydrous and nominally anhydrous minerals. AδD value for biotite NBS-30 is fixed at ?65.7‰for correction of instrumental fractionations during the routinely H isotopic analysis. The average reproducibility is better than±1.0‰when combining the bulk procedures of water extraction and mass spectrometry analysis. Bulk analytical errors appear to depend on mineral water contents, with absolute reproducibility of±0.5 to±2‰(1σ) forδD values and relative uncertainties of±1% to±3% (1σ) for H2O concentrations. In practice, the analytical errors for theδD value and the H2O content can respectively be as small as±0.5‰and±1% for hydrous minerals, but as large as±3‰and±5% for nominally anhydrous minerals of low water contents. Both precision and accuracy of the TC/EA-MS method are comparable to the conventional manometric methods. Therefore, the TC/EA-MS technique is a powerful tool to quantitatively determine both H2O concentration and H isotope composition of hydrous and nominally anhydrous minerals.Nominally anhydrous minerals contain small amounts of water in the forms of molecular H2O and structural OH. We have developed a stepwise-heating approach to extract the different forms of water for the TC/EA-MS analysis. Grained garnet which was preheated at 350°C for 4 hours also gave constantδD values of ?86±6‰and H2O contents of 281±13 ppm (wt.). The result for the H2O contents agrees with H2O contents of 271±58 ppm (wt.) measured by FTIR for quantitative analysis of structural hydroxyl in the same garnet. Stepwise-heating TC/EA-MS analyses for the garnet show that the molecular H2O are depleted in D relative to structural OH and has higher mobility than the structural OH. By using H diffusion coefficient and diffusion equation, the influence of H diffusion in the stepwise-heating approach and TC/EA-MS analyses was quantitatively evaluated. Therefore, the TC/EA-MS method can be used not only for quantitative determination of both H isotope composition and H2O concentration of hydrous and anhydrous minerals, but also for the concentration of structural hydroxyl in NAMs after stepwise-heating.Stepwise-heating TC/EA-MS analyses for NAMs from UHP eclogite at Bixiling in the Dabie orogen show that the molecular H2O is depleted in D relative to structural OH and has lower concentration than the structural OH. The results for the structural OH contents in garnet and rutile agree with those measured by FTIR. In contrast, the concentration of the structural OH in omphacite, kyanite and quartz is higher than those measured by FTIR. Both equilibrium and disequilibrium H isotope fractionations between garnet and omphacite occur in the eclogite at Bixiling. This indicates the contrasting fractionation behavior of H isotopes in the two series of minerals due to differential exchange of H isotopes with retrograde fluid during exhumation. This is concordant with the result from the mineral O isotope study of the eclogite. Garnet-omphacite H isotope fractionations are positively correlated with theδD values of total water in garnet, but negatively correlated with those in omphacite. This suggests that H isotope exchange between garnet and omphacite occurs in a relatively closed system, also concordant with the result from mineral O isotope study of the eclogite. For the structural OH and total water in garnet and omphacite, H isotope fractionations between garnet and omphacite show a similar tendency. This suggests that H isotope fractionations between garnet and omphacite are controlled by structural OH in NAMs, and hence structural OH is the dominant species in NAMs. Molecular H2O is preferentially liberated during the stepwise-heating analyses and depleted in D relative to structural OH in NAMs, indicating that the decompressional exsolution of molecular H2O proceeded prior to the exsolution of structural OH with decreasing pressure during exhumation. In this regard, structural OH may be released from NAMs by transforming into molecular H2O. H isotope kinetic fractionation may occur between structural OH and molecular H2O during the transformation of structural OH into molecular H2O, resulting in variations in the H isotope composition of NAMs.In view of the results for total water content and H isotopes in NAMs from UHP eclogites in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, the following conclusions can be reached. (1) There is a negative correlation between the total water concentration andδD value of garnet, indicating that the decompressional exsolution of molecular water is a major cause for the large variation in the H isotope composition of NAMs. (2) Symplectites show higher concentration of water and lowerδD values than omphacites in eclogite samples from Yangkou, indicating that retrograde fluid is depleted in D relative to NAMs. (3) Among the all analyses eclogites, the Yangkou eclogite show both the highest water content andδD value of NAMs. This suggests that the Yangkou eclotite would experience least dehydration during exhumation. In this regard, the highest concentration of water in NAMs can be used to provide a proxy for the maximum solubility of water in NAMs at the peak UHP metamorphic conditions. As such, the measured maximum water contents of garnet and omphacite yield the the maximum water solubility of 2500 ppm and 3500 ppm, respectively.

(also, I got a SNIMissingWarning and InsecurePlatformWarning when using pip, although it successfully downloaded and installed everything in my requirements.txt)
Virtualenvs do not contain a different version of Python, they use the one installed already. We do not, at the moment, have any way for you to change the version of Python because that would break everyone's virtualenvs. We are working on a feature that would allow it in future and we hope to have that available soon.
You can fix the warnings by doing:
pip install urllib3[secure]
in you virtualenv
Hi Glenn,
I am attempting to resolve the SNIMissingWarning and InsecurePlatformWarning thrown by urllib3 under Python 2.7.6 installed on PythonAnywhere. I would also really, really like to run 2.7.12 if possible.
I followed your instruction above but installing the secure option on urllib3 didn't resolve the warnings for me.
It seems like anyone doing outgoing connections from their PA app under Python 2.7 would experience this same issue.
Just to be clear, this is the issue I'm referring to - https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings.
Thank you,
Taylor
Hi Taylor,
This used to be solved by installing urllib3[secure]. However, the newest version of pip (<1 month ago) broke this. See here. We are monitoring/waiting to see if this will get fixed soon before deciding what to do about it.
Conrad — Thank you, I'll subscribe to that! I hadn't seen this yet. In the meantime, is it possible for me to selectively ignore them? I've never tried to drop my log level for just one package, but it's really blowing up my Opbeat account / email / push notifications. Over 100 instances of the same error since I posted.
I think there is a way of suppressing those warnings selectively... Check this link?
Great find, Harry. I'll give that a shot.
Hi, I'm facing this same problem. Having installed urllib3[secure] inside a virtualenv I still can't access an external website. Does it mean that on Python 2.7 installed across PythonAnywhere it's impossible to overcome this?
Thanks a lot in advance for support. Karol
This actually worked for me: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/2739/#id_post_37300

thanks for letting us know!
Any news about the Python 2.7 version? I can see we are still in 2.7.6 and latest is 2.7.15. Any way for upgrading it? I solved those InsecurePlatformWarning messages but now I got

1.1 Winter Clouds: Supercooled Droplets or ice cream Crystals?
1.1.1 The action of Water at low Temperatures
Though bodies of fluid water freeze as soon as their temperatures with slightly below 0°C, water droplets in clouds behave rather differently. Observations in clouds have shown that at -10°C the is possible to have actually only 1 ice decision per 1 million liquid water droplets. At -20°C, the ratio of ice to liquid have the right to be much less than 50%, yet part operational studies keep in mind a advantage of ice cream at these temperatures. In activities experiments, cloud temperatures deserve to reach -40°C before all water droplets are found as ice crystals (Pruppacher and Klett, 1979). Water droplets that are found in temperatures below freezing are described as supercooled. Areas of a cloud revolutionized to ice crystals, where the cloud is saturated through respect to ice, are claimed to be glaciated.
You are watching: The most common ice crystal shape is
*
1.1.2 Cloud step Transition: Glaciation
*
In mixed-phase clouds, glaciation, the change in the cloud of supercooled liquid to ice, normally takes place rapidly. Glaciation tends to begin in the highest (coldest) part of the cloud, whereby ice is nucleated, and also then work-related downward as ice crystals end up being larger and also heavier and fall right into the lower levels the the cloud. This increases the variety of ice decision surfaces available and additional depletes the quantity of water vapor in the cloud.
Glaciation have the right to be initiated by conditions within the cloud or can an outcome from clouds over the supercooled cloud seeding ice from above. This seeder/feeder effect is many prevalent through mid- or upper-level cirrus, cirrostratus, or alto-type clouds seeding lower-level stratus and also stratocumulus clouds.
1.2 Initiation of ice Crystals: The Nucleation Process
1.2.1 The Bergeron-Findeisen Process
The Bergeron-Findeisen procedure describes how ice crystals thrive at the price of supercooled water droplets in a water-saturated environment. This procedure is of particular importance in mid- to high latitudes where clouds routinely expand upward come subfreezing temperatures. Determining the ratio of supercooled droplets to ice crystals and also the rate at i beg your pardon a cloud becomes glaciated aids a forecaster"s capacity to predict winter precipitation types and amounts. Making these determinations is based on an expertise of the Bergeron-Findeisen process.
*
In 1911, Alfred Wegener, a geologist and originator that the theory of continental drift, originally proposed a concept of ice crystal growth based on the difference in saturation water-vapor pressure between ice crystals and also supercooled water droplets. In the 1930"s, the swedish meteorologist Tor Bergeron and also the German meteorologist Walter Findeisen added further to the theory which became known together the Bergeron-Findeisen process.
Two varieties of Nucleation Processes
In bespeak for ice crystals to form in clouds, the water molecules comprising the vaporous cloud droplets require a substrate on i beg your pardon to begin the formation of one ice decision lattice. The initiation the this procedure can take location by homogeneous or heterogeneous nucleation.
1.2.2 Homogeneous nucleation
Homogeneous nucleation takes ar at an extremely cold temperature in the absence of any kind of ice-forming nuclei (IN). Nucleation takes ar as water molecules within a droplet space cooled sufficiently to begin forming minute ice cream structures, called ice embryos. Surrounding molecules connect themselves to these ice embryos and include to the cultivation crystal lattice. This framework is vulnerable to disruption due to thermal agitation, an occasion that is an ext likely to occur in smaller sized drops. Thus, the smaller sized the dimension of the droplet, the reduced the freezing temperature necessary to type ice crystals.
Laboratory research studies have displayed that 5-µm diameter droplets of pure water don"t freeze until their temperature is brought down to -40°C. Larger droplets of 25 µm in diameter freeze at -36°C, a contempt warmer temperature due to the larger size that the droplet. This suggests that any kind of cloud at temperatures below -40°C will consist completely of ice cream crystals. Native a forecasting perspective, because of the glaciating process, supercooled liquid droplets are reasonably rare below -20°C.
Early ~ above in the study of modern meteorology, homogeneous nucleation to be ruled out as the prevalent process of ice cream crystal formation in the atmosphere. Based on observations of the quantity of ice cream crystals found in most clouds and mean temperatures that space too high to assistance homogeneous nucleation, various other processes for initiating freezing must take place.
1.2.3 Heterogeneous nucleation
Heterogeneous nucleation is the predominant process of ice decision initiation in the atmosphere. It takes place due to the visibility of ice-forming nuclei (IN) in saturated, sub-freezing environments. There room 3 types of heterogeneous nucleation:
Deposition Water vapor condenses as ice straight onto IN surfaces without passing v the liquid phase.
Freezing IN contained within a droplet initiate freezing within the droplet.
See more: Quotes From The Watsons Go To Birmingham Quotes : The Watsons Go To Birmingham
Contact IN initiate ice crystal formation upon call with a droplet. This occurs through the collision of supercooled droplets with IN.
1.3 Ice-forming Nuclei, Activation Temperatures, and Impacts the RH
1.3.1 typical IN and also their Activation Temperatures
As through cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), ice-forming nuclei (IN) are obtainable in the atmosphere yet at fairly low concentrations. IN room hygroscopic (water attracting) molecules. Follow to Rogers (1979), IN carry out a hexagonal lattice framework resembling natural ice. However, they room not energetic until they reach a specific temperature listed below 0°C. As the temperature drops, an ext of these nuclei become active to start ice decision formation. Thus, the concentration of energetic IN rises as the temperature drops.

Talk:Islam and gender segregation
Quotes to be removed
* ...the veil is a symbol of sexual apartheid and the segregation of the sexes. In countries where Islam rules, like in Iran, the separate entrances for women in certain government offices; separate areas for women’s seating on buses for example; the banning of women from certain public arenas like sport stadiums; a curtain dividing the Caspian sea for segregated swimming and so on is what it means in practice to be a female under Islam. That people transgress these rules daily is a testimony to their humanity and not the laws or state that imposes it by force.
* More than Iran's enemies need artillery, guns and so forth, they need to spread cultural values that lead to moral corruption. ...a senior official in an important American political center, said: "Instead of bombs, send them miniskirts." He is right. If they arouse sexual desires in any given country, if they spread unrestrained mixing of men and women, and if they lead youth to behavior to which they are naturally inclined by instincts, there will no longer be any need for artillery and guns against that nation.

Use Gulp (gulpjs.com) to run PHPUnit Tests on saved file
Submitted by residualflash - 5 years ago
Gulp is a javascript taskrunner (like Grunt) using Nodejs. You can use it to automatically run PHPUnit tests on saved files. Ex: Save Foo.php and run FooTest.php automatically. Link to gist: https://gist.github.com/varghesejacob/56e2637dcb5cd2bc4b51

This will only work if you namespace your unit tests like this.
- Tests for 'Foo' class needs to be named 'FooTest'
- 'FooTest' needs to be in the same namespace as 'Foo'
- User psr-4 autoloading to facilitate this
app/Acme/Foo.php ===> Acme\Foo

BIO 343 - Climate Change Biology (3)
Prerequisites: Must have a C- or better in BIO 110 , BIO 111 , and BIO 112 , or permission.
Human driven climate change from the burning of fossil fuels and other anthropogenic activities is having profound impacts across our biosphere. While much of the public attention is placed on rising temperatures of land and ocean, there is much less attention focused on the biological impacts of climate change. The most well-known biological impact of climate change is bleaching of coral reefs, but other impacts such as altered species distributions and nutrient cycling also result from climate change. The objective of this course, Climate Change Biology, is meant to provide students with an opportunity to more clearly understand the wide-ranging biological impacts of climate change. Although students in this class will become familiar with the basic climatological phenomena and data surrounding climate change, the vast majority of the course will look to examine biological impacts of climate change. The students taking this course will understand how human driven climate change impacts biological systems across ecosystem types both terrestrial (phenology changes, species invasions, resource allocation) and marine (ocean acidification, coral bleaching, oceanic carbon sequestration, feeding relationship changes). Additionally, students in this course will understand the biological impacts of climate change from molecular to ecosystem and evolutionary scales. Students will examine how climate change biology is being studied by the scientific community by reading primary research literature. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Translation
This article was clearly translated by an inexperienced speaker of English. Please consider revising (I believe the original article was in Italian). I have posted pictures to enhance the article, but I am not educated in botany, therefore I can do nothing more. I will re-word whatever text I can with my limited knowledge of the subject.

* Wow, it seems as if someone simply ran it through Google translator or something like that. I did a major culling of information that was most likely a copyvio and was how-to (WP:NOT) information anyway. Information regarding the number of species may be off a bit. I gathered the info from the IPNI, but sometimes the species listed are really synonyms for other plants. As I don't have any available resources regarding these plants (no books on succulents and academic papers through JSTOR were no help), I left the appropriate information in the article but without a source. Hope someone else is able to expand it. --Rkitko (talk) 18:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

NullableClass
Helper classes and analyzer to avoid usage of null in class types, for C#.
Motivation
We all know about the so-called “billion-dollar mistake”: the existence of a null value for reference types. Among other languages, C# adopted it, and it made sense at the time, but working around all the code and trying to avoid NullReferenceExceptions becomes a real problem.
Fortunately, there's a solution to this problem. Other languages have the concept of a Maybe or Optional type, where the lack of a value is explicitly stated and statically validated by the compiler.
This package provides a wrapper class NullableOf<T> that behaves similar to Nullable<T>, but for classes instead of structs.
Installation
There's two packages to install:
Usage
You first import the namespace:
using NullableClass;
And then you can use NullableOf in the following ways:
NullableOf<string> withValue = "Hello, World!";
NullableOf<string> empty = null;
string fine = "OK!";
string error = null; // With the analyzer installed, this will be marked as an error and won't compile.
// Same semantics as Nullable<T> for structs
var nullableString = default(NullableOf<string>);
nullableString.HasValue; // Boolean
nullableString.Value; // Throws exception if there's no value
nullableString.GetValueOrDefault(); // Gets default value - see next section
You can also use it on properties and fields (but remember to give them default values):
public class Person
{
public string FirstName { get; set; } = "";
public NullableOf<string> MiddleName { get; set; }
// With the analyzer, this won't compile
public string LastName { get; set; }
private string userId = "";
private NullableOf<string> roles;
}
Default values and arrays
Something that always comes up when discussing non-nullable classes is arrays. How do you create arrays, what values do you use?
This library uses the parameterless constructor of a class for its default value. This is used by the Default<T> helper class to get the default value and to create an array full of default values.
var nullableString = default(NullableOf<string>);
nullableString.GetValueOrDefault(); // returns "" -- this is a special case
// Uses implicit constructor. Initializes people with default properties
Person[] arrayOfPeople = Default<Person>.NewArray(10);
// You can create arrays with values just fine
var coolKids = new Person[]
{
new Person("Sour", "Cream"),
new Person("Jenny", "Pizza"),
new Person("Buck", "Dewey"),
};
// This is forbidden by the analyzer
var emptyPeople = new Person[5];
// This is fine
var emptyNullPeople = new NullableOf<Person>[5];
Of course, the NewArray helper method will create a new array and then iterate it and create a new class for each item. Take this into account when creating large arrays so it doesn't affect performance.
LINQ magic
The library includes extensions for both Nullable<T> and NullableOf<T> that allow you to use the LINQ syntax for using their inner values:
Nullable<int> id = 5;
NullableOf<string> category = "books";
var result =
from _category in category
from _id in id
select SearchItemInCategory(_category, _id);
If any of the values is null, the rest of the steps won't be computed, and only the null value is returned from the expression. This works similar to the null conditional operator (?.). This is also how monads work, if you're into that kind of thing.
Enumerable extension methods
You can use LINQ for enumerables as well, but the package includes special methods that instead of returning default (which may or may not be null), explicitly returns either a default non-null value, or a null value.
For example, in this LINQ left join:
var personTable = new[]
{
new { id = 1, name = "Alice" , locationId = 1 },
new { id = 2, name = "Bob" , locationId = 0 },
new { id = 3, name = "Carol" , locationId = 2 },
};
var locationTable = new[]
{
new { id = 1, country = "USA" },
new { id = 2, country = "UK" }
};
var query =
from person in personTable
join location in locationTable on person.locationId equals location.id into location_tmp
from location in location_tmp.NullIfEmpty()
select new
{
personName = person.name,
country = (from l in location select l.country)
};
you can see the use of NullIfEmpty instead of DefaultIfEmpty that guarantees a NullableOf<T> value. There are replacements for FirstOrDefault and others as well.
Known issues
• I couldn't name this type Nullable<T> despite how hard I tried. Of course, it's in its own namespace, but you always include System, so including my namespace would only cause a collision between System.Nullable<T> and NullableClass.Nullable<T>. Oh well.
• Properties and fields could use a smarter analysis to detect if they're assigned in the constructor. I'll need to study the Roslyn APIs more to be able to implement this.
• This will solve the null problem in your own code, but not on any external code. Unfortunately, since this is being written on top of the existing language, you'll still need to be careful interacting with it. If you know a method call can return null, immediately assign its value to a nullable variable.
• You can't use null in default parameter values, which means that, except for string's "", all default values will need to be nullable.
• If you find something I missed, or have an idea to contribute, please create a new issue.
FAQ
• Isn't the C# team already solving this issue in C# 8?
Yes. Well, kinda. They want to keep backwards compatibility, which means they're only issuing warnings when the static analysis can detect incorrect null usage. This, unfortunately, completely misses the array case, and as far as I'm concerned, warnings = mere suggestions, despite what anyone would want. So, I'm creating this as an effort to introduce a true concept of nullable / non-nullable classes.
• Aren't there any libraries that already do this?
Yes, it's very easy to find Maybe<T> implementations. However, they focus too much on the functional programming value, and I wanted something that was closer to how Nullable<T> already works. If you like functional programming, maybe (hehe) my implementation won't be the best for you.

Subject: [ASA-201908-2] python-django: multiple issues Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201908-2 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2019-08-05 CVE-ID : CVE-2019-14232 CVE-2019-14233 CVE-2019-14234 CVE-2019-14235 Package : python-django Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1015 Summary ======= The package python-django before version 2.2.4-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including denial of service and sql injection. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 2.2.4-1. # pacman -Syu "python-django>=2.2.4-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.2.4. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2019-14232 (denial of service) If ``django.utils.text.Truncator``'s ``chars()`` and ``words()`` methods were passed the ``html=True`` argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The ``chars()`` and ``words()`` methods are used to implement the ``truncatechars_html`` and ``truncatewords_html`` template filters, which were thus vulnerable. The regular expressions used by ``Truncator`` have been simplified in order to avoid potential backtracking issues. As a consequence, trailing punctuation may now at times be included in the truncated output. - CVE-2019-14233 (denial of service) Due to the behavior of the underlying HTMLParser, django.utils.html.strip_tags() would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities. The strip_tags() method is used to implement the corresponding striptags template filter, which was thus also vulnerable. strip_tags() now avoids recursive calls to HTMLParser when progress removing tags, but necessarily incomplete HTML entities, stops being made - CVE-2019-14234 (sql injection) Key and index lookups for JSONField and key lookups for HStoreField were subject to SQL injection, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the **kwargs passed to QuerySet.filter(). - CVE-2019-14235 (denial of service) If passed certain inputs, django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri() could lead to significant memory usage due to excessive recursion when re-percent encoding invalid UTF-8 octet sequences. Impact ====== A remote attacker can cause a denial of service via crafted content, or alter the database via a SQL injection.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pan American University Games
The result was delete. I find Metropolitan90's contribution the most persuasive from a policy standpoint, and in seven days, it was not refuted in the slightest. Daniel (talk) 00:12, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

* – ( View AfD View log )
The only source I can find on this topic is primary, there doesn't appear to be any sort of coverage in the news, which leads me to believe this is a non-notable sporting event. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
* Note: This discussion has been included in the list of United States of America-related deletion discussions. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:07, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
The fact that you could not find a source has nothing to do with the article. I added more than ten sources to it. In addition to being as well-known as similar articles, even though it is new and established in 2018, it has more than 200,000 results on Google. This is because you did not search correctly. Hao Xia Xia (talk) 04:36, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
you should search :
FISU AMERICA GAMES
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Snowball_clause
* South American University Games
* European Universities Games
* ASEAN University Games
* All-Africa University Games
This user seems to be looking for nonsense excuses to delete the article. It had already bothered me in related articles. You are also discouraging me from working because I seem to be wasting my time. The article is well known and there are many corresponding articles. Asia will also start regional student competitions from 2022. Despite being new, there are enough resources and based on the principle of the snowball, there is no need to continue the discussion because the result is clear. --Hao Xia Xia (talk) 04:45, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
* The sources are all primary and do not present any sort of Significant coverage, as indicated in WP:GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 05:15, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
This user's argument from the beginning was that these competitions are irrelevant to Panam Sport:
http://www.badmintonpanam.org/badminton-will-be-part-of-fisu-america-games-2020/
You can see that it is also reflected in official sites such as the official badminton site of the Americas. Hao Xia Xia (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
In this case, it should be labeled as resource improvement, not deletion. These competitions have been held only once and the second period is due to corona postpone to 2021. The main sources are Portuguese and Spanish. I also did not see such strictness in other similar articles. Your reason for deleting the article does not appear to be valid.

Hao Xia Xia (talk) 17:31, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
There are enough resources. They are more than enough as well. For a competition that is only two years old, it is not necessary to find thousands of independent sources. It is a normal and small but famous competition. In the worst case, it does not need to be removed and can be redirected to the World Universiade.Hao Xia Xia (talk) 17:34, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
* You look at the rest of the sports articles. Many of them hardly even have a credible source (Many have only one source, which is not independent). Should they all be removed? In these cases, it is labeled as resource improvement, not deletion. The user who deleted the tag from the beginning and from my first edition deleted my edits because he believes that other than the Pan American Games, other competitions are not important or may not exist. Hao Xia Xia (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
* Please review WP:OTHER. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:53, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
* yes, they should be removed per Wikipedia policy. Nobody asked you to find thousands of sources, I only asked you what the three most reliable sources are and you have not been able to deliver them so far. All sources I see are either not independent, press releases or blogs and I dont see a single respectable newspaper covering the event. --hroest 14:17, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

* Delete - everything I could find related to the Pan American Games, for which we already have an article, or seemed to be reprints of FISU press releases and publications. That's coverage, sort of, but certainly not independent. The rest were passing mentions in articles about other things, other sports, or other events. It doesn't help that someone has tried to reference-bomb the article in an attempt to make the subject look notable, but if you go through them (and I did) most have their genesis at the FISU URL. St ★ lwart 1 1 1 05:45, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
* Keep – This article isn't about the Pan American Games, it is about the Pan American University Games. The difference between these to types of games are that the latter only allow student-athletes to participate. With its first edition held in 2018 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Have you tried to make a search of this subject (Panamericanos Universitarios ?) in other languages for instance in spanish or brazilian-portuguese, and looking through related newspapers (from the Sao Paolo-area around the dates of the event being held there), here List of online newspaper archives ? I'm norwegian and doesn't speak or understand neither spanish nor brazilian-portuguese. Sorry forgot to sign my keep-vote, Migrant (talk – contribs) 18:23, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
* Yes, I understand the distinction between the two; its a distinction I pointed out in my opening line. I think everyone understands the distinction. If you have foreign language sources, feel free to link to them so that other editors can consider them. I didn't suggest there were no sources; simply that I could not find any. And my !vote was based on that search and a review of the sources currently in the article itself (which are pretty poor for WP:Notability purposes). St ★ lwart 1 1 1 07:59, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: i think we can take another pass at this one–the difference between Pan American Games and Pan American University Games could cause a consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:52, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
* Comment. This article has only one sentence of prose with 22 footnotes attached to it. Generally speaking, that's not how an article should be organized. In fact, some of the footnotes refer to the "FISU America Games" rather than the "Pan American University Games"; if the event's name has changed since it began, then that should be mentioned in a separate sentence with a citation. If this article is to be kept, I would like to see more prose content (with appropriate citations). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:26, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
* Delete due to serious accuracy problems. "Pan American University Games" does not even appear to be the correct name for this event; the only reference to that name I can find on the FISU America website uses the name "FISU America Games" as the primary name. (See .) The article also claims that 3,000 athletes participated in the 2nd edition of the games in Mérida, Venezuela, in June 2020, which would have been during the COVID-19 pandemic when international travel was limited. In actuality, the FISU America Games were never even scheduled for Mérida, Venezuela; they were scheduled for Mérida, Mexico -- and they weren't even held in 2020 due to the pandemic, but were suspended in March of that year, to be rescheduled at a later date which has apparently not yet been announced. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:12, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

User has been attempting to make incorrect edit to the runtime for The Wizard of Oz (1939 film). User has persistently tried to claim the film is 140 minutes long (I think they are confusing this with the fact it is in fact 1 hour and 40 minutes long). They've tried to make the edit using this account, and after it was reverted twice have used the sock puppet account to make the edit again. Same edit, same language. Either SP or MP.

Businessman Bids to SaveInmate From Execution - WSJ
Brian D. Pardo is best known for suing short sellers, pioneering the buyout of insurance plans for terminally ill people and making an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Congress. So what is this Waco businessman doing mounting an 11th-hour crusade on behalf of David W. Spence, a death-row inmate scheduled to die by lethal injection next week? The fight began in intellectual curiosity, Mr. Pardo says. In a bizarre diversion from his day job as chairman of Life Partners Inc., Mr. Pardo and a former journalist who works for him last fall took an excursion to the state prison in Huntsville, where they visited Mr. Spence, who professed his innocence. Skeptical at first, Mr. Pardo says he was won over: Mr. Spence, he says, seemed like he was telling the truth. Mr. Spence was sentenced to death 12 years ago for his role in killing three teenagers at a lakeside park in Waco in 1984. His latest appeal -- to the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans -- failed. A University of Texas law professor has been working to free him and, Mr. Pardo insists, new evidence and witness testimony has surfaced suggesting that Mr. Spence was framed and that a man who is now dead committed the crimes. To Mr. Pardo, it's more than just a distraction. If they execute David Spence, he says, I'll feel that I did everything I could.

Molodechno Region
Molodechno Region, also known as Maladzyechna Region or Molodechno Oblast (Маладзечанская вобласць; Молодечненская область), was a region (voblasts) of the Byelorussian SSR, the first-level administration division in the republic. Initially the region was formed on 4 December 1939, following the annexation of Western Belorussia into the Byelorussian SSR from the Second Polish Republic, as Vileyka Region. However, after the liberation of Byelorussia by the Red Army in July 1944, most of the pre-war civil administration was not possible for a number of reasons, one of which was that the city of Vileyka was heavily damaged during the war, and the transportation links between it and the rest of the region were too.
However, the nearby city of Maladzyechna (Molodechno) located 20 km away from Vileyka escaped heavy destruction, and as a result, on 20 September 1944, Maladzyechna Region was established. Initially it contained 14 districts. These districts were Astravets, Ashmyany, Volozhin, Ilya, Iwye, Krivichi, Kurenets (Its center was relocated in Vileyka and renamed as Vileyka in 1946), Molodechno, Myadzyel, Pastavy, Radashkovichy, Smarhon, Svir and Yuratishki. However, on 8 January 1954, in course of administrative-territorial reforms of the Byelorussian SSR, the neighbouring Polatsk and Baranavichy voblasts (along with others) were disestablished.
Molodechno Region incorporated 10 raions (Ivyanets from Baranavichy; Braslaw, Vidzy, Hlybokaye, Dzisna, Dokshytsy, Dunilovichi, Miory, Plisa and Sharkawshchyna from Polotsk) from the two regions with its size growing from 14.8 to 24.3 thousand square kilometres. During the same reforms, Iwye raion was passed to Grodno Region. In 1957, Ilya raion was dissolved and was attached to Vileyka. In 1959, the Dzisna and Svir raions were dissolved and were attached to Myadzyel and Miory. The number of raions of the oblast was reduced to 20. However, on 20 January 1960, Maladzyechna Region too was disestablished. Its territory, with 848 thousand people, was divided between the modern Vitebsk (raions of Braslav, Vidzy, Hlybokaye, Dokshytsy, Dunilovichi, Miory, Plisa, Pastavy and Sharkawshchyna), Grodno (raions of Ostrovets, Oshmyany, Smorgon and Yuratishki and Bogdanov village of Volozhin) and Minsk regions (raions of Maladzyechna, Vileyka, Volozhin (except Bogdanov village), Ivyanets, Kryvichi, Myadzyel and Radashkovichy), with the city of Maladzyechna being incorporated into the latter. This turned out to be the last of the administrative division reforms in Belarus, and since then, the borders of the regions remain today. | WIKI |
Filter feeder facts for kids
Kids Encyclopedia Facts
Filterkrillkils2
Krill feeding on phytoplankton.
Filter feeders are animals that feed on matter and food particles from water. Some animals that do this are clams, krill, sponges, baleen whales and many fish such as sharks. Some birds such as flamingos are also filter feeders. Filter feeders can help clear water.
Fish
Herringadultkils
Herrig
Most forage fish are filter feeders. For example, the Atlantic menhaden, a type of herring, lives on plankton caught in midwater. Adult menhaden can filter up to four gallons of water a minute and play an important role in clarifying ocean water. They are also a natural check to the deadly red tide.
In addition to these bony fish, four types of cartilaginous fishes are also filter feeders. The whale shark sucks in a mouthful of water, closes its mouth and expels the water through its gills. During the slight delay between closing the mouth and opening the gill flaps, plankton is trapped against the dermal denticles which line its gill plates and pharynx. This fine sieve-like apparatus, which is a unique modification of the gill rakers, prevents the passage of anything but fluid out through the gills (anything above 2 to 3 mm in diameter is trapped). Any material caught in the filter between the gill bars is swallowed. Whale sharks have been observed "coughing" and it is presumed that this is a method of clearing a build up of food particles in the gill rakers. The megamouth shark has luminous organs called photophores around its mouth. It is believed they may exist to lure plankton or small fish into its mouth. The basking shark is a passive filter feeder, filtering zooplankton, small fish, and invertebrates from up to 2,000 tons of water per hour. Unlike the megamouth and whale sharks, the basking shark does not appear to actively seek its quarry; but it does possess large olfactory bulbs that may guide it in the right direction. Unlike the other large filter feeders, it relies only on the water that is pushed through the gills by swimming; the megamouth shark and whale shark can suck or pump water through their gills. Manta rays can time their arrival at the spawning of large shoals of fish and feed on the free-floating eggs and sperm. This stratagem is also employed by whale sharks.
Crustaceans
Mysis2kils
Filter basket of a mysid
Mysidacea are small crustaceans that live close to shore and hover above the sea floor, constantly collecting particles with their filter basket. They are an important food source for herring, cod, flounder, and striped bass. Mysids have a high resistance to toxins in polluted areas, and may contribute to high toxin levels in their predators. Antarctic krill manages to directly utilize the minute phytoplankton cells, which no other higher animal of krill size can do. This is accomplished through filter feeding, using the krill's developed front legs, providing for a very efficient filtering apparatus: the six thoracopods form a very effective "feeding basket" used to collect phytoplankton from the open water. In the animation at the top of this page, the krill is hovering at a 55° angle on the spot. In lower food concentrations, the feeding basket is pushed through the water for over half a meter in an opened position, and then the algae are combed to the mouth opening with special setae on the inner side of the thoracopods. Porcelain crab species have feeding appendages covered with setae to filter food particles from the flowing water. Most species of barnacles are filter feeders, using their highly modified legs to sift plankton from the water.
Baleen whales
Squelette de baleine australe
Baleen of a right whale
The baleen whales (Mysticeti), one of two suborders of the Cetacea (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), are characterized by having baleen plates for filtering food from water, rather than teeth. This distinguishes them from the other suborder of cetaceans, the toothed whales (Odontoceti). The suborder contains four families and fourteen species. Baleen whales typically seek out a concentration of zooplakton, swim through it, either open-mouthed or gulping, and filter the prey from the water using their baleens. A baleen is a row of a large number of keratin plates attached to the upper jaw with a composition similar to those in human hair or fingernails. These plates are triangular in section with the largest, inward-facing side bearing fine hairs forming a filtering mat. Right whales are slow swimmers with large heads and mouths. Their baleen plates are narrow and very long — up to 4 m (13 ft) in bowheads — and accommodated inside the enlarged lower lip which fits onto the bowed upper jaw. As the right whale swims, a front gap between the two rows of baleen plates lets the water in together with the prey, while the baleens filter out the water. Rorquals such as the blue whale, in contrast, have smaller heads, are fast swimmers with short and broad baleen plates. To catch prey, they widely open their lower jaw — almost 90° — swim through a swarm gulping, while lowering their tongue so that the head's ventral grooves expand and vastly increase the amount of water taken in. Baleen whales typically eat krill in polar or subpolar waters during summers, but can also take schooling fish, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. All baleen whales except the gray whale feed near the water surface, rarely diving deeper than 100 m (330 ft) or for extended periods. Gray whales live in shallow waters feeding primarily on bottom-living organisms such as amphipods.
Bivalves
Miesmuscheln-2
Marine blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, showing some of the inner anatomy. The white posterior adductor muscle is visible in the upper image, and has been cut in the lower image to allow the valves to open fully.
Bivalves are aquatic molluscs which have two-part shells. Typically both shells (or valves) are symmetrical along the hinge line. The class has 30,000 species, including scallops, clams, oysters and mussels. Most bivalves are filter feeders (although some have taken up scavenging and predation), extracting organic matter from the sea in which they live. Nephridia, the shell fish version of kidneys, remove the waste material. Buried bivalves feed by extending a siphon to the surface. For example, oysters draw water in over their gills through the beating of cilia. Suspended food (phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae and other water-borne nutrients and particles) are trapped in the mucus of a gill, and from there are transported to the mouth, where they are eaten, digested and expelled as feces or pseudofeces. Each oyster filters up to five litres of water per hour. Scientists believe that the Chesapeake Bay's once-flourishing oyster population historically filtered the estuary's entire water volume of excess nutrients every three or four days. Today that process would take almost a year, and sediment, nutrients, and algae can cause problems in local waters. Oysters filter these pollutants, and either eat them or shape them into small packets that are deposited on the bottom where they are harmless.
Bivalve shellfish recycle nutrients that enter waterways from human and agricultural sources.
Bivalve are also largely used as bioindicators to monitor the health of an aquatic environment, either fresh- or seawater.
Sponges
Callyspongia sp. (Tube sponge)
Tube sponges attracting small reef fish
Sponges have no true circulatory system; instead, they create a water current which is used for circulation. Dissolved gases are brought to cells and enter the cells via simple diffusion. Metabolic wastes are also transferred to the water through diffusion. Sponges pump remarkable amounts of water. Leuconia, for example, is a small leuconoid sponge about 10 cm tall and 1 cm in diameter. It is estimated that water enters through more than 80,000 incurrent canals at a speed of 6 cm per minute. However, because Leuconia has more than 2 million flagellated chambers whose combined diameter is much greater than that of the canals, water flow through chambers slows to 3.6 cm per hour. Such a flow rate allows easy food capture by the collar cells. Water is expelled through a single osculum at a velocity of about 8.5 cm/second: a jet force capable of carrying waste products some distance away from the sponge.
Cnidarians
The moon jellyfish has a grid of fibres which are slowly pulled through the water. The motion is so slow that copepods cannot sense it and do not react with an escape response.
Other filter-feeding cnidarians include sea pens, sea fans, plumose anemones, and Xenia.
Flamingos
Phoeniconaias minor 01
The arcuate bill of this lesser flamingo is well adapted to bottom scooping
Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp. Their oddly shaped beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. The filtering of food items is assisted by hairy structures called lamellae which line the mandibles, and the large rough-surfaced tongue.
Pterosaurs
Pterodaustro BW
The pink coloring of Pterodaustro is hypothetical, but is based on ecological similarities to flamingoes
Traditionally, Ctenochasmatoidea as a group has been listed as filter-feeders, due to their long, multiple slender teeth, clearly well adapted to trap prey. However, only Pterodaustro showcases a proper pumping mechanism, having up-turned jaws and powerful jaw and tongue musculature. Other ctenochasmatoids lack these, and are now instead thought to have been spoonbill-like catchers, using their specialised teeth simply to offer a larger surface area. Tellingly, these teeth, while small and numerous, are comparatively unspecialised to the baleen-like teeth of Pterodaustro.
Boreopterids are thought to have relied on a kind of rudimentary filter feeding, using their long, slender teeth to trap small fish, though probably lacking the pumping mechanism of Pterodaustro. In essence, their foraging mechanism was similar to that of modern young Platanista "dolphins".
Marine reptiles
Filter feeding habits are conspicuously rare among Mesozoic marine reptiles, the main filter feeding niche being seemingly instead occupied by pachycormid fish. However, some sauropsids have been suggested to have engaged in filter feeding. Henodus was a placodont with unique baleen-like denticles and features of the hyoid and jaw musculature comparable to those of flamingos. Combined with its lacustrine environment, it might have occupied a similar ecological niche. In particular, it was probably a herbivore, filtering out algae and other small-sized flora from the substrates. Stomatosuchidae is a family of freshwater crocodylomorphs with rorqual-like jaws and minuscule teeth, and the unrelated Cenozoic Mourasuchus shares similar adaptations. Hupehsuchia is a lineage of bizarre Triassic reptiles adapted for suspension feeding. Some plesiosaurs might have had filter-feeding habits.

On Wednesday, Sept. 30, staff and students at Espanola High School came together to commemorate Orange Shirt Day, acknowledging the toll residential schools took on young Indigenous children.
In 2008, former prime minister Stephen Harper issued an apology to residential school survivors. He also offered a compensation package of $1.9 billion. As of 2017 that amount has grown to 3.1 billion with more expected to be offered, until all remaining claims and disputes have been settled.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to go even further. He said he would like to make Orange Shirt Day a national holiday.
The compilation of residential school abuses goes back to 2010, when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission undertook a study, looking into the residential school system and how children of First Nations, Metis and Inuit nationality were treated, with the goal of informing all Canadians of their findings. It took five years for the study to be completed.
In June of 2015 the report was released. It was found that the majority of children were mistreated terribly at the hands of those who were supposed to care for and educate them, and an unknown number of them actually died. It is estimated that 5,000 to 6,000 children died between 1833 and 1996. The exact count will forever be unknown because the federal government stopped keeping track after 1920, when the chief medical officer at Indian Affairs noticed that the children were dying at an alarming rate. The mortality rate reached at some schools ranged from 30% to 60%.
Residential schools were an offshoot of the church-run schools established for Aboriginal children in the 1840’s. The first government establishment of residential schools came into being in 1883 in Western Canada, as a way to “kill the Indian in the child” – cultural genocide. The children were prohibited from speaking their Indigenous languages.
In 1920, the Indian Act made it compulsory for status Indigenous children between the ages of seven and 15 to attend residential school. Some of the children taken to the schools were even younger. The rounding up of these children generally occurred near the end of September, which is why Sept. 30 was chosen as the day to wear the orange shirts in remembrance.
Residential schools were run by the churches with the majority of them being operated primarily by the Catholic and Anglican churches. They were for the most part over crowded, poorly ventilated and unsanitary. At one point there were 139 schools receiving government funding. In the 1950’s the federal government began to relax restrictions on First Nations people.
In 1969, the government took back control of the schools from the churches and started shutting them down, with the last one closing in 1996.
Besides reports of wide-spread physical and sexual abuse, including medical experiments, the children in the residential school system also died from smallpox, measles, influenza and tuberculosis. It is recorded in the study that those children were sometimes buried in unmarked graves in school cemeteries, while others were listed as missing or discharged. In some cases, their parents never did find out what happened to their child.
The EHS website gives a history of when Orange Shirt Day came into existence. It is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project and Reunion, which took place in Williams Lake, B.C. in May 2013.
Chief Fred Robbins, a former student of the residential school system, brought together other former students and their families along with mayors and municipalities, school districts and civic organizations to commemorate the residential school experience and witness, and honour the healing journey of those who had been forced to attend.
One of those who attended, Phyllis Webstad, told the story of her first day at the residential school when her shiny new orange shirt was taken away from her. She was six at the time and never saw her pretty shirt again.
The Orange Shirts, created by Webstad, remind Canadians that the residential schools stripped away the Indigenous identity of its students. “Every Child Matters” is printed on the shirts to acknowledge that Aboriginal children are entitled to the same quality of life as everyone else.
Orange Shirt Day has become an opportunity to talk about anti-racism and anti-bullying in the school system.
It offers an “opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.” | FINEWEB-EDU |
Can Jordan Peele's "Twilight Zone" Save CBS?
For the first time in years, timing is on CBS' (NYSE: CBS) side. The long-anticipated reboot of The Twilight Zone returns today with the first two episodes of the series, and you'll have to pay if you want to check out the entire season. The Twilight Zone is available exclusively through CBS All Access, the network's fledgling premium streaming service.
Jordan Peele is at the helm of the refreshed series, and he's the hottest commodity in horror right now. His directorial debut -- Get Out -- won critical acclaim two years ago for weaving social commentary into the horror genre, and he's raising the stakes with the recently released Us. Both films were put out by Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Universal, but it's CBS that may be the bigger beneficiary of Us topping the box office when it debuted two weekends ago and already slotting in as one of this young year's highest-grossing films.
Image source: CBS.
Room for one more, honey
CBS All Access isn't the only streaming service working with Peele, but the timing of The Twilight Zone couldn't be better for the fledgling premium platform. Us is now this year's third-highest grossing film of 2019, and it's only been out for 10 days. The Comcast film's success and Peele's rapid ascent are just what CBS need to get folks interested in the service with today's debut of what could be the first legitimate shot of any platform to recreate the success that Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has had with Black Mirror.
There were just 2.5 million subscribers to CBS All Access last summer, and the lumbering media giant hopes to hit 4 million users this year. The platform started quietly nearly five years ago, and it wasn't until late 2017 that it tried to swing for the fences with the launch of Star Trek Discovery. CBS was clever enough to air the first episode on its actually free over-the-air network, hoping to hook audiences. The second season of the sci-fi series rolled out earlier this year, and a third season is already in the works.
Star Trek Discovery has received mixed reviews from franchise purists. Just a little more than half of the audience enjoyed the first season according to Rotten Tomatoes. The Good Fight -- the streaming-only spinoff to CBS' cult fave The Good Wife -- is faring much better with fans as the platform's second most popular original series, but it hasn't been enough.
The pricing is competitive. CBS All Access costs $5.99 a month for the ad-supported option, a reasonable ransom compared to the premium movie channels that charge nearly three times as much. An ad-free version sets viewers back $9.99 a month.
No one is catching up to Netflix with its more than 139 million paid streaming accounts worldwide. Hulu tacked on another 8 million stateside users last year to hit 25 million total members. We don't know how many people are routinely streaming Prime Video, but more than 100 million Prime members have access to the platform at no additional cost. At least three major tech and media companies -- including Comcast -- will be introducing high-profile services between now and next year. If CBS All Access doesn't get noticed now, it may never happen.
Your move, Peele.

How to Put an Alarm on Valet Mode
Updated February 21, 2017
The valet mode on a car alarm allows someone else to drive your car without having access to the security system. Valet mode is typically employed when you're having your car parked or serviced. It enables you to maintain possession of your security remote.
Locate the push button switch on your vehicle. According to Omega Vehicle Security the switch usually sits somewhere under the dash on the driver's side.
Put the key in the ignition and turn to the "on" position.
Press down the valet button for five seconds.
Check the LED light on your alarm system while continuing to press the button. If the valet mode activation is successful, this light will remain solid. If not, release the button and repeat.
Turn the ignition off and remove the key once you set the valet mode.
Tip
Some systems come with a toggle switch instead of a push button. If you locate a toggle switch, put the key in the ignition, turn the key and push the toggle to on.
Warning
The steps for your system may differ. Check the owner's manual for exact instructions on the valet mode.

Constant BSODs
hey there im having constant bsods in my laptop( ACER V3 772G), it was working just fine up untill i was playing NFS hot pursuit and all of the sudden it froze, so i had to hard reboot the laptop and then i started to have all kinds of problems with nvidia drivers, first they stopped working when doing opengl stuff i.e i get this message "display driver NVIDIA windows kernel mode Driver, version 3XX.XX stopped responding and has successfully recovered." and a few minutes later, it would just go to BSOD. i tried reinstalling windows 8.1 and all the drivers, but the problem persists(especially when installing nvidia driver and running some opengl app). if someone here knows about this issue please help me :(
looks like some of your components are failing. This could be your anything... have you tried different version of gpu driver?
yes i tried 353.XX, 352.XX,& 331.XX drivers, so is this it for my laptop then?
looks like it. You could try running chkdsk before rma *if on warranty.
my warranty period has expired and what is this chkdsk?
chkdsk is a tool that checks disk
run in command line
chkdsk /F /R /B c:
most likely it'll need reboot to run it.
else if that won't work, i recommend getting gpu from ebay for your laptop - you know try things if they work with new or not.
Posting code you're getting on BSOD will also help, in directing you what exactly is failing.
i dont think gpu can be swapped and or replaced in this laptop, so im better by just using this laptop without installing any nvidia bulllshit! :(, thanks for the help anyways!
A couple of other things you could try
Open command prompt as an administrator and run sfc /scannow
also look in windows C:\Windows\Minidump\ file name here for your minidump file. You can upload this to a web checker (just google for it) and read what is in the minidump. That might shed some light on exactly what is going on.
And finally ( yeah I know you prob already have) run a good virus scan, and also run CCleaner, uninstall any nVidia shiz and use its registry clean function to clear it right out, then try reinstalling JUST the nvidia drivers without the geforce experience crap.
If it turns out to be an overheating issue and your feeling adventurous you could try to replace the TIM on the GPU.
Go to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers search for your model or use serial number of laptop. Update the BIOS. The new BIOS update solves problems with the GPU as stated. Careful not to brick your laptop while flashing the BIOS.
Temps? Could be overheating, could be a hardware failure.
Run memtest to rule out the ram.
RMA it if at all concerned that there may be a hardware fault.
so this is one of the three bsods error i got, this happened when i launched msi afterburner to monitor the temps for the gpu, it opened up fine but a few seconds later this happened
oh yeah and this thing is heavly artifact-ing and often times it flickers and i get this message "display driver NVIDIA windows kernel mode Driver, version 3XX.XX stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
Grab that minidump file like I explained earlier and lets see what it says exactly
please use this link to get my minidump file LINK

What programs do you have running in your system tray? This appears to be a conflict related driver crash. Also what antivirus are you using?
Ok after more investigation this is prob due to a bad driver install of nvidia drivers
1. Remove all nvidia drivers and reboot
2. Use CCleaner to remove any leftover nvidia crap, use the ccleaner registry cleaner and reboot
3. Use windows update to install any updates
4. Download the latest nvidia drivers and make sure you select clean install when you run them.
5. Reboot again
6. Test a game
system tray: nvidia settings, inetl hd gfx, bluetooth , one drive, ELAN(touchpad .
antivirus : windows defender
bad drivers: i reinstalled windows 3 times now and installed nvidia drivers for like 3 times as well so do u think this is bad drivers?
My mother's Aspire was BSOD also and it needed a BIOS update, this BIOS update is related to your driver issues I believe. I do suggest it as a last resort. To flash your bios is dangerous but usually goes through without a hiccup. Just download close all programs, and run it. DO NOT turn off/restart during the flash write process. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
Acer Aspire V3 772G
BIOS V1.15 Release Note
1. Support NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M
2. Support Brazilian Location 56 in UK type keyboard.
3. Update CPU Microcode CPUID 306C3 to version 17.
4. Update thermal policy.

Navigate from an ExplicitPanel back to an Administrative Panel
I have an explicit panel loaded from an administrative panel. Wondering how, if I do some sort of AJAX save on my explicit panel I can go back to the previous panel and reload it.
Parents Reply Children
• is the reloading of panel data just done custom through the person implementing it or is there a specific javascript call that can reload the panel data?
• For instance, I want to pass in a different ID to my explicit panel by clicking a link on the same panel... the hash changes, but the page doesn't reload.
• Are you attempting to load an explicit panel from an explicit panel?
Generally, reloading is handled by the panel. $.telligent.evolution.administration.refresh() is available, but will reinitialize at the base of the current panel (so any sub-panels defined by the same panel implementation will be removed from the navigation stack).
• Thanks Ben, that helped. The refresh methods works great, however the close() method does not seem to be working. It stays on the same panel but the notification I publish does work.
$.telligent.evolution.notifications.show("Save Successful!", {}); // works
$.telligent.evolution.administration.close(); // does not return to previous panel
• If you are editing and reloading the admin UI to test the explicit panel, the history will be lost and close() will not have anywhere to return to. The stack of navigation between panels only persists within context of the page.
The role explicit panel, for example, uses ...close() to return to the role list, for example, but if you edit a role, reload the browser tab, and save, it will not return to the role list.
• So is there an administrative javascript call to navigate to a new panel? Right now I'm using a text link I get from something like this:
public string LearningLevelEdit(int levelId)
{
NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
nvc.Add("LearningLevelId", levelId.ToString());
return PluginManager.Get<Panels.Management.LearningLevelCreateEdit>().FirstOrDefault().GetNavigateUrl(nvc);
}
• If that is using IAdministrationExplicitPanelController.GetUrl(), that should be correct and it can be loaded directly (doesn't require using $.telligent.evolution.administration.open).
I do see that the URL generated using IAdministrationExplicitPanelController does not include a hash parameter _appaneltype=explicit which may affect the navigation behavior. As a work-around, you could manually add this parameter to the hash parameter list generated from the existing GetUrl() method.
I've logged this issue as:
TE-18096: IAdministrationExplicitPanelController.GetUrl does not include explicit identifier
Completed for 13.0, 12.1.5, 14.0
• I"m trying to use that messaging API to send a message across which should refresh the pane., but doesn't seem to be firing...
Here is what I have. and these are both loaded up on explicit panels that are loaded right after each other.
#registerEndOfPageHtml ( )
## end of page HTML
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.telligent.evolution.messaging.subscribe('refresh.reactions', function(data){

jQuery.telligent.evolution.administration.close();
}
});
• When subscribing to the message (if it is originating from a different panel potentially), in the options of the subscription (3rd parameter), specify:
{ excludeAutoNameSpaces: true }
By default, subscriptions are scoped to individual panels. This will identify that the subscription is not limited to the current panel. Notice that when you exclude auto name spacing, it is important to unregister the subscription when the panel unloads:
var subscription = $.telligent.evolution.messaging.subscribe('message_name', function(data) {
// do stuff
}, { excludeAutoNameSpaces: true });
$.telligent.evolution.administration.on('panel.unloaded', function(){
$.telligent.evolution.messaging.unsubscribe(subscription);

Oberseminar ANALYSIS - PROBABILITY
Nicolas Besse (Université Côte d'Azur)
A constructive approach to regularity of Lagrangian trajectories for incompressible Euler flow in a bounded domain
We give a constructive proof of smoothness (in ultradifferentiable classes) of Lagrangian trajectories for 3D incompressible Euler flows in an impermeable bounded domain
whose boundary is ultradifferentiable, i.e. may be either
analytic or have a regularity between indefinite differentiability
and analyticity. Based on a little-known Cauchy Lagrangian formulation of the 3D incompressible Euler equations, we establish novel explicit recursion relations that include contributions from the boundary.
This leads to a constructive proof of time-analyticity of the Lagrangian
trajectories with analytic boundaries, which can then be used
subsequently for the design of a very high-order Cauchy-Lagrangian method
to study numerically, among other, the open issue of finite time blow up of classical solutions.

Debugged 2 Bar Truss System
Below is the code to the debugged two bar truss system. Since the modulus of elasticity and the areas for the given example were not the same the code had to be modified in order for it to run properly. Before the correction the code was running as if the all of the elements had the same modulus of elasticity and the same area. Below is the corrected code and the results from the corrected code. Functions PlaneTrussElemtens.m, NodalSoln.m and PlaneTrussResults.m were used in this code and the discription for these functions can be found in the functions section.
Results from the debugged two bar truss code
Comparison of Results
Once the code was corrected the same reaction results were obtained when comparing it to the statics methods that have been done in class. Below are the results to the statics method.
Finite Element Method:
Using this equation, we can now solve for the f(1) matrix and thus we find the values for the reactions: $$f^{(1)}_{1} = F_{1} = -4.4378$$ $$ f^{(1)}_{2} = F_{2} = -2.5622$$
Using this same procedure applied to element 2, we can solve for the values of the other two unknown reactions giving us: $$f^{(2)}_{3} = F_{5} = 4.4378$$ $$f^{(2)}_{4} = F_{6} = -4.4378$$
Statics
Using the Euler cut method, you find the following components from the resultant P forces.
$$P_x^1 = -4.4378$$ $$P_y^1=-2.5622$$ $$P_x^2=4.4378$$ $$P_y^2=-4.4378$$
Six Bar Truss Code
Below is the code for the six bar truss system found on page 226 in the the textbook. All six of the bars have the same modulus of elasticity (e) and the same area (A). The MATLAB functions of PlaneTrussElement.m, NodalSoln.m, and PlaneTrussResults.m are all found in the code. The descriptions and functions can be found below the results of the six bar truss system.
Results of the above code.
Functions
The functions PlaneTrussElement.m, NodalSoln.m, PlaneTrussResults.m were all called in the code for the 5 truss system. They are all necessary for the completion of the truss problem.
PlaneTrussElement.m
This function take the Young's Modulus (e), the Area of the element (A) and the coordinates of the element ends (coord) and generates the stiffness matrix for a plane truss element. The function first calculates the lengths of the the elements. Once those are calculated the stiffness matrix is calculated.
NodalSoln.m
The function takes the global coefficient matrix (K), the global right hand side vector (R), the list of degrees of freedom with specified values, and the specified values to determine the displacements and reactions at each node. The dof of the the system is first found by using the command which finds the longest dimension of R. df then finds the difference between the dofs that have known values (a value of zero) and the dof that were found in the previous line. The displacements and the reactions are then calculated.
PlaneTrussResults.m
This function computes the plane truss element results. It takes in the modulus of elasticity (e), the area of the cross-section (A), the coordinates at the element ends (coord), and the displacements at the elemtent ends (disps) and calculates the axial strain (eps), stress(sigma) and force (force). The results are stored in the variable and sent back to the main program.
Plot of Six Bar Truss System
Below is the code and the plot of the six bar truss system. The plot was made from the results that were found in the above code. The results demonstrate that only node 2 and node 5 had a displacement of (0.2131, 0.2500) and (-0.0061, 0.0122) respectively. The undeformed system is plotted with the dotted lines and the deformed system is plotted with solid lines. The deformed displacements have been scaled up by a factor of 1.2 in order to enhance in the plot.
Three Bar Space Truss Example
Below is the code for the the 3D three bar truss system found in the textbook on page 230. There are four nodes in the system with each node containing 3 degrees of freedom. The code uses three additional functions for it to be run. SpaceTrussElement.m, NodalSoln.m, and NodalSoln.m were all used for the code. Below this code a description of each function can be found.
Functions
The functions SpaceTrussElement.m, NodalSoln.m, SpaceTrussResults.m were all called in the code for the 5 truss system. They are all necessary for the completion of the truss problem.
SpaceTrussElement.m This function creates the stiffness matrix of a space truss element. It takes in the modulus of elacticity (e), the truss area (A), and the corresponding coordinates for the truss. The function first calculates the length of each element and then calculates the stiffness matrix (k).
NodalSoln.m
The function takes the global coefficient matrix (K), the global right hand side vector (R), the list of degrees of freedom with specified values, and the specified values to determine the displacements and reactions at each node. The dof of the the system is first found by using the command which finds the longest dimension of R. df then finds the difference between the dofs that have known values (a value of zero) and the dof that were found in the previous line. The displacements and the reactions are then calculated.
SpaceTrussResults.m
This function takes in the modulus of elasticity (e), the area of each truss (A), the coordinate of the nodes and the displacements (disps) at the element ends. It calculates the axial strain (eps), stress(sigma) and force (force). The results are stored in the variable and sent back to the main program.

Abstract
A task in statistics is to find meaningful associations or dependencies between multivariate random variables or in multivariate, time-dependent stochastic processes. Hawkes (1971) introduced the powerful multivariate point process model of mutually exciting processes (Hawkes model) to explain causal structure in data. Therefore, we discuss several causality concepts and show that causal structure is fully encoded in the corresponding Hawkes kernels. Hence, for causal inference and for establishing graphical models induced by causality it is necessary to estimate the Hawkes kernels. We provide a nonparametric, consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the Hawkes kernels depending on the increments on a time scale with mesh $\Delta$ using methods from infinite order regression and time series analysis. To illustrate our results we apply our method to EEG data from the spinal dorsal horn of a rat. To tackle the problem for random samples of random vectors we examine a new dependence measure, namely distance correlation (Sz\'ekely, Rizzo and Bakirov; 2007). Distance correlation provides a strikingly simple sample version in order to test for independence between two random vectors of arbitrary dimensions and finite first moments. However, distance correlation is not well understood on the population side and it fails to be invariant under the group of all invertible affine transformations. Hence, we introduce the affinely invariant distance correlation and compute the analytic usual distance correlation and affinely invariant distance correlation in various settings: for multivariate normal distributions and for Lancaster probabilities (e.g. the bivariate gamma distribution) explicitly. Furthermore, we generalize an integral which is at the core of distance correlation. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
China might escort ships in Gulf under U.S. proposal: envoy
DUBAI (Reuters) - China might escort Chinese commercial vessels in Gulf waters under a U.S. proposal for a maritime coalition to secure oil shipping lanes following attacks on tankers, its envoy to the United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday. “If there happens to be a very unsafe situation we will consider having our navy escort our commercial vessels,” Ambassador Ni Jian told Reuters in Abu Dhabi. “We are studying the U.S. proposal on Gulf escort arrangements,” China’s embassy later said in a text message. Washington is lobbying other nations to join a maritime security coalition at a time of heightened tensions with Iran, which the United States has blamed for explosive blasts on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, a charge Tehran denies. President Donald Trump said in a June 24 tweet that China, Japan and other countries “should be protecting their own ships” in the Gulf region, where the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain. It was not clear if Washington had made an official request to Beijing, which has had to tread softly in the Middle East due to its close energy ties with both Iran and Saudi Arabia. The United States has struggled to gain support for the coalition from European and Asian allies, who fear it would further stoke tensions with Iran. So far only Britain has officially said it would join the mission to protect merchant ships after Iran seized a British-flagged vessel. Tension has mounted since Trump last year quit a 2015 nuclear pact under which Iran agreed to curtail its atomic program in return for relief from economic sanctions crippling its economy. France, Britain and Germany, which with Russia and China are party to the agreement, have tried to rescue the deal and reduce tensions. China has traditionally played a small role in Middle East conflicts or diplomacy despite its reliance on regional oil, but has increased its profile under President Xi Jinping. “We have the position that all disputes should be sorted by peaceful means and by political discussions, not ... military actions,” Ambassador Ni said. Iran says securing the Strait, the world’s most important oil artery, should be left to Tehran and other regional countries. The UAE and Saudi Arabia, who support U.S. policy against regional foe Iran, have called on the international community to safeguard maritime trade and security of global oil supplies. Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan met President Xi during a visit to Beijing last month during which the two sides signed a military and defense cooperation deal. The ambassador said the agreement could lead to cooperation on tackling terrorism and intelligence sharing, adding that further discussions would take place. China, which has a military base in Djibouti, has participated in regional escort missions in the Gulf of Aden and off the Somali coast as part of a United Nations Security Council anti-piracy mandate.

Harry Poland
Sir Harry Bodkin Poland (1829–1928) was a British barrister who worked at the Bar from 1851 to 1895. He also served as counsel to the Treasury and Adviser to the Home Office from 1865 to 1889. He was knighted in 1895.
In his memoir "Seventy-Two Years at the Bar", Poland cited two cases as his most interesting. The first was the Bank of England case of 1872 in which four Americans attempted to steal £100,000 from the Bank of England by forging bank notes. The second was the Chocolate Cream Poisoner case, where Christiana Edmunds poisoned a number of people in Brighton by lacing chocolates with strychnine.
From 1895 to 1901 he sat as a Moderate Party alderman on the London County Council.
Sir Harry Bodkin Poland replaced his uncle Sir William Henry Bodkin as the Recorder of the Borough of Dover. On his resignation, he was succeeded in the role by his nephew Archibald Bodkin. He was a confirmed bachelor. | WIKI |
How Lung Cancer Exposures to Crystalline Silica and Radon
The underground coal mining industry plays an important role in contributing energy supplies, increased prevalence and severity of the chronic lung diseases raised concerns of occupational health. Silica and radon exposure in coal mining industry has been extensively documented1“4. A substantial body of evidence has identified crystalline silica dust and radon gas as major causes of lung cancer5“8. However, the inconsistent and controversial results from epidemiological studies9“11 made the evidence of silica and radon associated with lung cancer being less convincing. It can possibly be explained by the fact that non-occupational exposures such as cigarette smoking was not investigated sufficiently in many studies, and cigarette smoking ranks number one cause lung cancer (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/basic_info/). Therefore, with potentially substantial exposures to multiple carcinogens including crystalline silica dust, radon, and cigarette smoke, the further study of the risks of lung cancer and systematically measurements in the coal mining industry are needed.

Our long-term goal is to improve our understanding of exposures to, and lung cancer risks associated with, exposures to crystalline silica, radon, and cigarette smoke in the underground coal mining industry. The objectives in this proposal are: 1) improve understanding of coal miners exposures to crystalline silica, radon in the underground coal mining facilities in Webster County, Kentucky; 2) investigate the association between lung cancer and miner’s exposures to silica, radon and cigarette smoke. These two objectives will allow us to fill the gap of current studies. We hypothesize that the concentrations of silica and radon will be significant high in the underground coal mining workplace. We hypothesize that crystalline silica, radon, and non-occupational cigarette smoke increase the joint risk of lung cancer.
The rationale of this proposed study is that lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, and it is the leading cause of mortality in the United States per year (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/lung/statistics/). It is crucial to determine if miner’s exposure is associated with increased lung cancer risk so that appropriate protective measurement may be taken. The proposed study objectives are also included in the National Occupational Research Agenda (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nora/crosssectors/crc/researchagenda.html).
Specific Aim1. Determine worker’s exposures to silica dust and radon in the underground coal mining industry. To better understand the underground coal mining environment and worker’s exposures to crystalline silica dust and radon, we will systemically monitor three large underground coal mining facilities in Webster County, Kentucky. The real-time measurements will be conducted to determine the size, concentration, and chemical compositions. Air samples will also be collected for quantification of crystalline silica by using laboratory analysis.
Specific Aim2. Determine association between lung cancer and exposures to crystalline silica, radon, considering cigarette smoking. A case-control study will be conducted to evaluate individual and joint risk of lung cancer associated with miner’s exposures including crystalline silica, radon, and non-occupational cigarette smoke. We will recruit 600 lung cancer cases and 600 matched controls. Personal sampling will be conducted to monitor individual exposures to silica, radon. The statistics will be applied to determine the association between lung cancer and miner’s exposures.
Anticipated Project Outcomes: This proposal will results in: 1) Defined size distribution, concentration, and chemical compositions of air samples in the underground coal mining facilities, characterization of crystalline silica dust and radon. 2) Identification of association between lung cancer and silica, radon, and cigarette smoke exposures.
Through these two fundamental aims, we will we will improve our understanding of worker exposure to crystalline silica, radon and cigarette smoke. This will allow federal agencies to develop surveillance system and restrain policies to prevent worker’s health from developing lung cancer. Based on the study results, we will be able to evaluate industry health and safety mitigations to ensure that coal mining industry efforts to reduce hazards are effective.

Virtual Server MAC address conflict when restarting hardware
I have a Windows 2003 R2 - 64bit server running the native OS, and a Windows 2003 R2 -32bit virtual server session. Both the native and virtual sessions are sharing the same NIC. When I reboot the native OS session, on restart the Virtual session doesn't start and generates a MAC address in use error.
To get the Virtual server session running, I must kill the virtual server using taskkill /PID <ID> /F command.
Then I can open the virtual server manager and manually restart the virtual server.
What is the proper way to setup the virtual server to avoid this conflict at reboot? Thanks you,

Weird...!! To say the least...There is no 'Proper Way' of configuring the Virtual Server and normally, no conflict should occuer. I am assuming that both the machines, Host and Virtual have different static IPs assigned to them. Anyways, try deleting the VNC files and creating them once again using the Virtual Network wizard. See if that helps !!

I am sorry, I have never used one. But, Yes one of my favorites ways is to create a Microsoft Loopback Adapter and then bind all the internal machines to it. Then configure RRAS on Host Machine so that it can be used as NAT Device to take the VM out to the Physical Network. But then again, I had my own reasons to do it. Can you tell me, what is your setup right now and what are you planning to setup?

The server has dual NICs, but one is disabled. I've got the native OS setup to use a unique IP address, then in the virtual server settings I'm using this NIC as well, with a different IP address in the actual virtual server session.
Packets flow properly, and I've done it like this for other installs without problems (that I know of).
I'll do some digging on MS's site for a whitepaper and see if I can find anything on thier recommendations.

Amit BhatnagarTechnology Consultant - SecurityCommented:
Sure thing. I will try and search as well. Although, in the mean time can you please let me know what is the MAC address of the enabled NIC, Disabled NIC and the NIC within the Virtual Server. You can get the MAC using the simple 'ipconfig/all' command.
Also, the MAC address conflict must be generating a Event ID within the EventViewer. Can you paste the information here. Thanx !!

To generate the error, I'll need to reboot the server. This may be a couple weeks before the next window. I'll post when I complete the reboot and best practices section.

Hmmmmm so it means we are not getting any errors within Event Viewer, right? Anyways, sure please keep me updated. Although, you did not mention the MAC Address of the machines involved.

Some additional information:
I ran the ipconfig /all on the physical server and received the following MAC address:
00-15-17-3d-28-44.
When I go to the virtual machine properties-->Network adapters section, under the virtual server manager GUI, I see the Virtual network adapter 1 is "Connected to "External Network (Intel) PRO_1000 PT Server Adapter" with current Ethernet (MAC) address of 00-15-17-3d-28-44.
When I go into the virtual server session itself and do an ipconfig /all, I get a different MAC address 00-03-FF-38-28-44.
Is this the expected behavior?
0
WipfliAuthor Commented:
Found the solution.
I had hard-coded the IP address into the physical NIC, then within the virtual session also used the same IP address.
To resolve, I used a DHCP address for the secondary physical NIC, then assigned that NIC to the virtual server and setup the proper static IP in the virtual server session.

Explaining Dental AnesthesiaIf you’re looking for a way to get rid of that annoying numbness from dental anesthesia faster, we have some good news. There are several simple steps you can take to reduce the amount of time it takes for your feeling to return.
Top Tips on How to Make Novocaine Wear Off
One of the main reasons that people feel the heebie-jeebies about going to the “big bad dentist” is because of dental injections. The simple thought of having someone stab your gums with a humongous needle is unnerving, to say the least.
Still, we can’t deny that this is the better alternative compared to either having your orthodontic procedures done without any anesthetic or not going to the dentist at all.
And, speaking of anesthetics, there are a lot of misconceptions about novocaine that has been passed around for as long as we’ve been around, and we here at Beautisdom have gone through the journey to dispel all of this, with one of them being the duration of its effect. So, read on and learn about how you can make novocaine wear off easily!
What you need to know about novocaine
A lot of people cringe at the thought of getting a shot of novocaine right in their gums, so rest assured that you’re not alone here.
Hey, even some of us here at Beautisdom find the word “novocaine” enough to give us sleepless nights. But, seriously, what is with novocaine that makes it the bogeyman of anesthetics?
Well, for one, it’s the way that your dentist administers it. Have you noticed that dental injections are given slower than, say, a flu injection on your arm or your butt? Well, there’s a reason for that, and we’ll tell you all about it later.
The truth is, novocaine has become a catch-all term these days that encompasses all kinds of anesthesia your dentist gives. In truth, novocaine hasn’t been around for a long time now, and we just call dental anesthesia by that name the same way we refer to jeans as Levi’s regardless of their brand.
Now, we’re going to tell you this right now, but know that we are not here to scare the socks off you: dental injections hurt. BAD. However, you should also know that this is all part of getting better. As the saying goes, “sometimes a little pain is needed to get better.”
Anesthetic Addiction
Although unusual, this completely probable condition is very much real. However, thank to innovations in the medical world today, there are now a lot of anesthetics out there that won’t get you hooked.
That’s great, really, considering how just about a century ago people were more than likely to get their jollies on from the dentist due to the fact that cocaine was the only widely available anesthetic back then.
The fact of the matter is that novocaine was invented because of cocaine. You see, people were getting so high off their knockers back then that it was not uncommon to OD in the dentist’s chair.
Hence, novocaine was created as a safer alternative to smack (although we’re guessing dentist’s office had a lot more twitching, talkative patients back then because of all the nose candy). That was in the year 1905.
What we’re trying to say is simple: set aside those fears of being addicted to local anesthetics.
When Your Dentist Acts Unusual During Injections
We’re being serious here, so hear us out. You may notice that your dentist tends to go through a lot of unusual rituals before pricking you in the gums with that needle. However, there is some method to what appears as madness in this case.
For one, your dentist tries to make sure that everything regarding your teeth and gums are in proper order before giving you the shot, so you may notice them looking at your chompers more thoroughly than usual. After all, they are about to inject you with anesthetic, which is a very delicate procedure.
Aside from that, here are the other things you might notice before you go all numb from the injection:
• You will notice that your dentist slathers your gums with this cream or gel that simply tastes awful; that’s called a topical numbing gel, which they use in order to lessen the amount of pain you’ll feel in your gums when they stab it with a needle. Now, don’t get too hasty: you can’t use topical gels as your primary anesthetic, since these only numb the surface of your gums and are thus not enough to provide you with a degree of relief during the whole process. Remember, there are a lot of nerves inside your teeth and gums!
• As opposed to arm or buttock injections, dental injections take longer to administer. So, you must be wondering why that is. Well, the reason for that is because your dentist – believe it or not – is trying to cause as little pain as possible during the whole ordeal. A quick prick accompanied by an immediate spurting of anesthesia hurts a lot more than a slow gentle one that will gradually spread the anesthetic throughout your mouth.
• You may find it annoying that your dentist chats you up knowing that you can’t answer properly with all that anesthesia in your mouth, but don’t be too hard on them; they’re just trying to make you feel less anxious and divert your attention from the procedure.
• Other dentists squeeze or press your lips in the middle of your dental procedure, and that’s to divert what little sensation you have from your teeth and gums, which is painful.
• You’ll notice that there are dentists who hide their syringes behind, not letting you see what’s going on. Don’t act so paranoid; this is a way to not make you panic when they’re about to prick you with the needle.
FAQ
What type of anesthesia is used for dental work?
In cases involving dental surgery, local anesthesia that numbs the surgical area (Novocaine) is used either by itself or in combination with one or more of the following: nitrous oxide (sometimes called “laughing gas”) to relax you; oral pre-medication; intravenous “I.V.” sedation (also known as “twilight sleep” or “conscious sedation”) for relaxation. In fact, many patients report that their surgeries were remarkably pain- and anxiety-free!
What are the side effects of dental anesthesia?
Some reported side effects with sedation and general anesthesia medications include:
• nausea or vomiting.
• headache.
• sweating or shivering.
• hallucinations, delirium, or confusion.
• slurred speech.
• dry mouth or sore throat.
• pain at the site of injection.
• dizziness.
How long does dental anesthesia last?
Your anesthesia will wear off in approximately 1 to 3 hours after the procedure. It is very important not to chew on the numb side (to prevent biting tongue, lip, etc.) until the anesthesia wears off. Children should be observed until the anesthesia has worn off.
How dangerous is dental anesthesia?
For local anesthetics, the type used during oral surgery, the main risk is that the patient is unusually sensitive to the drug and has problems with a heartbeat, circulation, breathing, or brain function that require emergency care. … That said, anesthesia for oral surgery has been proven over and over to be safe.
How painful is dental anesthesia?
Dentists use local anesthetic by injecting it directly into the area they want to numb. … The patient seldom, if ever, feels pain from the prick of the needle used for the injection. At worst, they may feel a brief, slight pressure at the point of insertion.
How do dentists give anesthesia?
Dentists use local anesthetic by injecting it directly into the area they want to numb. A local anesthetic temporarily deactivates the nerves in a specific part of the mouth. Dentists use local anesthetic for dental procedures that would be painful without it, like root canals, extractions, or fillings
Does tooth filling require anesthesia?
Generally, dentists use topical anesthetic to numb the cheek or gums before an injection of local anesthetic in order to make the injection more comfortable. Whenever dentists need to drill into teeth (like they do when placing fillings), they need to use more than just a topical anesthetic
Can a dentist hit a nerve with needle?
Although rare, persistent and sometimes permanent nerve damage can occur after dental injections and anaesthesia. Sometimes, the dentist needle can come into contact or “hit a nerve”, causing a sensation of an “electric shock.” This can occasionally be all it takes to produce paraesthesia during dental treatment.
So, how do you make dental anesthesia wear off faster?
There are five ways you can go about this, so find out which one works for you best:
• Try to focus on moving your mouth after the procedure to make the anesthetic spread thinner more quickly, which could make it wear off faster.
• A gentle massage right on the numb areas of your mouth also help spread the anesthetic thinner, allowing it to dissipate more quickly.
• Try gargling with warm water mixed with salt after the procedure. This will not only disinfect your teeth and gums, but also give you a level of relief for when the anesthetic wears off.
• You can use an anti-anesthetic, but make sure you consult with your dentist before doing so.
So, there you have it: everything you need to know about Dental Anesthesia. Don’t be scared of your dentist; they’re there to make you feel better! | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
For 25 years, Adolph Murie, one of North America’s greatest naturalists, spent his summers in Mount McKinley National Park (since renamed Denali National Park) tracking, recording, and interpreting the lives of grizzlies in one of their few remaining strongholds. Murie observed the grizzlies as they moved throughout their range. He notes how families were formed, how they found food, and he described in detail how they related to other animals with whom they came in contact, including man. Often he followed a bear family for days as it traveled through the park. Even thought their behavior could be quite unpredictable, Muire was able to distinguish, through careful observation, the individuals who made up many distinct families.

Watch: Trump addresses Chicago police amid tensions with the city
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order at the Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago on Monday after addressing the group. The order is expected to create a commission to study mental health and training issues affecting police officers, according to a local NBC reporter. Trump's visit comes amid heightened tension between his administration and the city of Chicago. Even before his presidency, his relationship with Chicagoans had been rocky. In 2016, Trump was forced to cancel a campaign rally half an hour before it started when violent protests broke out. When Trump issued a plan to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities within his first 100 days, Chicago, among other large U.S. cities, stood firm and declared it would remain one. In interviews, Trump branded Chicago as a "war zone," repeatedly criticizing the city for its handling of crime and saying in a tweet that he wants to send in federal intervention to deal with what he called "horrible carnage." "People are being shot left and right, thousands of people over a short period of time," Trump said in an ABC interview. "Chicago is like a war zone." A high-level figure in the Chicago Police Department will be noticeably absent from the event. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has chosen to skip the event due to Trump's immigration policies and race rhetoric. "As police officers, our job is to be the voice for the voiceless and ambassadors to the communities that we serve. I can't in good conscience stand by while racial insults and hatred are cast from the Oval Office, or Chicago is held hostage because of our views on New Americans," Johnson said in a statement released by the Chicago Police Department. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
tarch, mem: Abstract the data stored in the SE page tables.
Rather than store the actual TLB entry that corresponds to a mapping,
we can just store some abstracted information (address, a few flags)
and then let the caller turn that into the appropriate entry. There
could potentially be some small amount of overhead from creating
entries vs. storing them and just installing them, but it's likely
pretty minimal since that only happens on a TLB miss (ideally rare),
and, if it is problematic, there could be some preallocated TLB
entries which are just minimally filled in as necessary.
This has the nice effect of finally making the page tables ISA
agnostic.

Unregulated stem cell therapies listed on government database
Stem cell clinics are using ClinicalTrials.gov — the National Institute of Health's database of private and public clinical trials — to recruit patients to participate in potentially risky treatments, per a new study in Regenerative Medicine. People are paying big money to take part in these unregulated studies, even though people are typically not charged to join them. One recent example: Three Florida women were blinded by a stem cell procedure meant to treat macular degeneration. They had each paid $5,000 for the trial. Big picture: There are close to 600 stem cell clinics (many of them newcomers) advertising treatments unapproved by the FDA to patients in the U.S. "A lot of these studies are just marketing pitches designed to appeal to people with COPD, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease," Leigh Turner, the study's author, told the Washington Post. The NIH has put a disclaimer at the top of ClinicalTrials.gov: "Listing of a study on this site does not reflect endorsement by the National Institutes of Health." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

-- Visits to Assateague Seen Needing Ferries Due to Warming
Assateague Island National Seashore
in Maryland may turn to passenger ferries as stronger coastal
storms and rising sea levels driven by climate change threaten
bridge access to the park, according to a report. Access to Assateague Island and six other national
seashores on the East Coast is one area where global warming is
having an impact, according to a report today from the Rocky
Mountain Climate Organization and the Natural Resources Defense
Council . Beaches, dunes and marshes are more vulnerable to
erosion, higher temperatures may make going to the beach
intolerable while wildlife and ecosystems are at risk. The National Park Service “is for the first time saying
that they are going to prepare to transition from bridge and
road access,” Stephen Saunders, president of the Rocky Mountain
Climate Organization and co-author of the report, said on a
conference call with reporters. “They’re preparing for when
they do lose the bridge access.” Average global sea levels rose about seven inches (17.8
centimeters) in the 20th century as a result of warming that is
now “unequivocal,” according to an Aug. 20 statement from the
American Meteorological Society. Man-made emissions of carbon
dioxide are the dominant cause, the group said. “Climate change is the greatest threat that our national
parks have ever faced,” Theo Spencer, senior advocate at the
Natural Resources Defense Council , said. “If we don’t cut the
amount of heat-trapping pollution that we spew into the air,
these special places that Americans love will never be the
same.” Cape Cod The national seashores in today’s report include Assateague
Island, Cape Cod in Massachusetts , Fire Island in New York, Cape
Hatteras and Cape Lookout in North Carolina, Cumberland Island
in Georgia and Canaveral in Florida . More than 11 million people
visited the parks in 2011 spending more than $566 million. The beaches are getting warmer with average annual air
temperatures climbing as much as 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (one
degree Celsius) in the decade that began in 2001 compared with
the period from 1961 to 1990. By 2090, temperatures may be as
much as 6.5 degrees higher at Fire Island, making it as hot as
recent summers in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina . “Beaches are traditional spots for a break from the heat,
but a tipping point could be reached, with baking heat trumping
cooling breezes,” according to the report. “When temperatures
are in the 80’s and 90’s, going to the beach may offer relief.
But when temperatures are in the 100’s, the experience could be
a lot less enjoyable.” Sea Levels Climate change also is magnifying the natural forces of
wind and waves that shape coastal areas. Warmer sea surface
temperatures are fueling stronger coastal storms and higher wave
heights. Half of the land at Fire Island, Assateague Island,
Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout and Canaveral are at a high risk of
being submerged this century if sea levels rise by one meter,
according to the report. “The biggest threat ultimately to these seashores is that
they will be largely or even entirely covered by the ocean,”
Saunders said. Wildlife impacts include a threat to sea turtles, which
nest from Assateague Island to Canaveral. The gender of a sea
turtle is influenced by the temperature of the sand in which
they nest and more females are hatched from eggs incubating at
higher temperatures. Sea Turtles “We’re having more female sea turtles born,” Saunders
said. “If this trend continues, we’ll have more and more
females and fewer and fewer males, and at some point we could
have nothing but females.” At Assateague Island, climate-change driven impacts could
make it difficult for visitors to enjoy the seashore, according
to the park service, which manages the island. Beach erosion and
storm-driven flooding will make roads, parking lots and visitor
centers “increasingly more difficult and costly to maintain,”
according to a 2010 report on the impacts of climate change. Park managers at Assateague are considering a shift to
commercial ferry service as the time needed to restore bridges
and roads after storms cut visitor access, according to a report
by the National Park Service. “Climate change is impacting these places now,” Spencer
said. “I went to Assateague when I was a kid and it’s a lot
different then than it was now. The national park system is
something uniquely American and I think Americans can associate
with the issue of climate change better when its put in the
context of places they love.” To contact the reporter on this story:

Geranic acid
Geranic acid, or 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid, is a pheromone used by some organisms. It is a double bond isomer of nerolic acid.
Pharmacology
Choline geranate (also described as Choline And Geranic acid, or CAGE) has been developed as a novel biocompatible antiseptic material capable of penetrating skin and aiding the transdermal delivery of co-administered antibiotics.
The antibacterial properties of CAGE were analyzed against 24 and 72 hour old biofilms of 11 clinically isolated ESKAPE pathogens (defined as Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter sp, respectively), including multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates.
CAGE was observed to eradicate in vitro biofilms at concentrations as low as 3.56 mM (0.156% v:v) in as little as 2 hours, which represents both an improved potency and rate of biofilm eradication relative to that reported for most common standard-of-care topical antiseptics in current use. In vitro time-kill studies on 24 hour old Staphylococcus aureus biofilms indicate that CAGE exerts its antibacterial effect upon contact and a 0.1% v:v solution reduced biofilm viability by over three orders of magnitude (a 3log10 reduction) in 15 minutes.
Furthermore, disruption of the protective layer of exopolymeric substances in mature biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus by CAGE (0.1% v:v) was observed in 120 minutes. Insight into the mechanism of action of CAGE was provided with molecular modeling studies alongside in vitro antibiofilm assays. The geranate ion and geranic acid components of CAGE are predicted to act in concert to integrate into bacterial membranes, affect membrane thinning and perturb membrane homeostasis. | WIKI |
