The close
WP:NOTTEMPORARY (NTEMP) states, "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of 'significant coverage' in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Ammarpad specifically stated that since it did not have ongoing coverage, the notability had been temporary, but that is the opposite of what NTEMP says. Consensus of the first AfD hasn't changed and was not open to being overturned, as the nominator brought this decision to AfD, not DRV. Of course consensus has changed, which is normal in a case of NTEMP. I don't know what to suggest about the close, as it wants to be an IAR close claiming the authority of DRV. The least the close could do is respect clear policy-based arguments. Unscintillating (talk) 00:57, 20 November 2017 (UTC) | WIKI |

OPINION
RYAN, Justice.
I
A
¶ 1 On June 12, 2003, twenty-one-year-old Cody James Martinez, fifteen-year-old Michael Lopez, and several other adolescents were at a friend’s Tucson home smoking marijuana. Johnathon Summey-Montaño arrived with Francisco Aguilar. Aguilar was sent out with two others to purchase rolling papers for the group.
¶ 2 Summey-Montafio described Aguilar to Martinez as a “bailer” (meaning he had money) and suggested that they rob him. Martinez agreed. When Aguilar returned to the house, Martinez first engaged him in a conversation and then punched him in the face. Martinez and Summey-Montafio began beating Aguilar, while other members of the group went outside. Martinez and Summey-Montafio called Aguilar a child molester. Martinez directed Lopez to join in kicking Aguilar, threatening to kill Lopez if he did not do so. Summey-Montafio pointed a shotgun at Aguilar. Martinez took the shotgun and hit Aguilar in the head with it. Martinez and Summey-Montafio then bound Aguilar’s hands and feet. Aguilar was crying and begging for an explanation for the beating. Martinez and Summey-Montafio took valuables from Aguilar: Summey-Montafio put on Aguilar’s necklace and took two dollars from one of Aguilar’s shoes; Martinez put Aguilar’s gold bracelet in his own pocket.
¶ 3 Lopez and Summey-Montafio then forced Aguilar into the trunk of a car. Martinez, Lopez, Summey-Montafio, and at least one other person got into the car. Martinez drove and Summey-Montafio gave directions to Aguilar’s home. When they arrived, Martinez instructed one of the others to watch for Aguilar’s family. Martinez and Summey-Montafio entered the house and returned with beer and liquor. Apparently dissatisfied with the haul, Martinez demanded that Aguilar tell him “where’s the stuff; where’s the shit?” — a reference to “drugs, money, or whatever.” Martinez returned to the house and came back with a computer printer.
¶4 When they tried to leave, Martinez could not start the car. The group pushed the car, with Aguilar still in the trunk, to a nearby gas station. They put gas in the ear but it still did not start. The group pushed it to a nearby pay telephone and sat there. Aguilar remained in the trunk.
¶ 5 Later, an acquaintance arrived at the gas station. Martinez spoke to this person and showed him a bag of methamphetamine. The acquaintance used Aguilar’s mobile telephone to call Fernando Bedoy, who arrived in a Ford Explorer. Using the Explorer, Martinez and the others pushed their vehicle to a side street. The car still would not start.
¶ 6 Summey-Montafio and Martinez then led Aguilar from the trunk of the car to the cargo space of the Explorer, keeping him covered with a blanket. Martinez poked Aguilar with a shotgun when Aguilar did not crawl into the Explorer fast enough.
¶ 7 Martinez, Bedoy, Lopez, and Summey-Montafio got into the Explorer, leaving the rest of the group behind. Bedoy drove. After some discussion between Summey-Montafio and Martinez, Martinez directed Bedoy to the desert. Martinez announced he intended to kill Aguilar and anyone who tried to stop him.
¶ 8 As Bedoy drove, Martinez and the others were laughing and taunting Aguilar. Summey-Montafio stabbed Aguilar in the hand with a knife and hit him with a compact disc he claimed to have stolen from Aguilar. He also mocked Aguilar, asking him to name his favorite track on the disc.
¶ 9 When the group arrived at the desert area, Summey-Montafio pulled Aguilar out of the Explorer. Martinez and Summey-Montafio kicked Aguilar. Aguilar was dragged around the truck, making “noises of pain ... moaning and groaning.” Martinez, Summey-Montafio, and Lopez continued kicking and stomping on Aguilar, while Aguilar begged for his life. Martinez demanded he shut up and ordered Aguilar to march into the desert at gunpoint and then to lie down.
¶ 10 Martinez fired a shot at Aguilar that went “[r]ight above his head,” although Martinez stood directly above the victim. Martinez laughed about having missed. As Martinez reloaded the shotgun, Summey-Montafio beat Aguilar with a tire iron and stabbed him in the belly. Martinez fired again, this time hitting Aguilar in the collarbone area, “[a] little lower than the neck,” but not killing him. Summey-Montafio refused Martinez’s request that he finish off Aguilar, so Martinez fired one more time, hitting Aguilar in the neck, killing him.
¶ 11 Martinez and Summey-Montafio ordered Lopez and Bedoy to wipe out the footprints they had left. Trash was piled on Aguilar’s body and Martinez lit the pile on fire. The group returned to the Explorer and drove away.
¶ 12 Moments later, a Tucson Airport Authority police officer on patrol noticed smoke in the distance and the Explorer driving from that direction and initiated a traffic stop. As the police cruiser and the Explorer crossed paths, Martinez hid cocaine and methamphetamine in the vehicle in which he was travelling. He told the group to tell police they were coming from a barbeque at “Cisco’s.” He told the officer who stopped the Explorer the same. Police detained the group. Tucson firefighters, meanwhile, responded to the blaze and reported that a body had been found. After the body was discovered, Martinez was taken into custody and, incident to that arrest, was searched. Jewelry and marijuana were found in Martinez’s possession. Liquor, drugs, and the shotgun were also found in the Explorer.
B
¶ 13 In the fall of 2005, a jury found Martinez guilty of premeditated first degree murder, felony murder, and kidnapping. The sentencing proceedings followed, and at the aggravation phase, the jury unanimously found that Martinez murdered Aguilar for pecuniary gain and committed the slaying in an especially cruel, heinous, and depraved manner. See Ariz.Rev.Stat. (“A.R.S.”) section 13-703(F)(5), (F)(6) (Supp.2003). At the penalty phase, Martinez put on evidence that he had had a terrible childhood, that he had been molested as a child, and that those circumstances led him to murder Aguilar. The jury concluded that the mitigation evidence was not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency, determining that Martinez should be sentenced to death.
¶ 14 An automatic notice of appeal and an appeal from post-trial rulings were filed with this Court under Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure 26.15 and 31.2(b) and A.R.S. §§ 13-4031, -4033 (2001). We have jurisdiction under the Arizona Constitution, Article 6, Section 5(3), and A.R.S. §§ 13-4031, -4033.

A
¶ 15 Martinez first argues that prosecutorial misconduct warrants a new trial. This Court will reverse a conviction for prosecutorial misconduct only when “(1) misconduct is indeed present; and (2) a reasonable likelihood exists that the misconduct could have affected the jury’s verdict, thereby denying [the] defendant a fair trial.” State v. Velazquez, 216 Ariz. 300, 311, ¶ 45, 166 P.3d 91, 102 (2007), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 2078, 170 L.Ed.2d 811 (2008) (quoting State v. Anderson (Anderson II), 210 Ariz. 327, 340, ¶ 45, 111 P.3d 369, 382 (2005)). Martinez did not object below to any of the prosecution’s allegedly improper statements. Absent a trial objection, we review claims of prosecutorial misconduct for fundamental error. Id. at ¶ 47.
¶ 16 Fundamental error is “error going to the foundation of the case, error that takes from the defendant a right essential to his defense, and error of such magnitude that the defendant could not possibly have received a fair trial.” State v. Henderson, 210 Ariz. 561, 567, ¶ 19, 115 P.3d 601, 607 (2005) (citation omitted). “To prevail under this standard of review, a defendant must establish both that fundamental error exists and that the error in his case caused him prejudice.” Id. at ¶ 20 (citation omitted).
1
¶ 17 When the police stopped the Explorer, Martinez and his companions told investigators that they had been at a barbeque at “Cisco’s.” The jury heard that this cover story came from Martinez. In closing arguments at the aggravation phase, the prosecution told jurors that Martinez provided his friends “a sickening excuse to offer up to the police officers — -we were at Cisco’s barbecue — so he cannot be connected with this crime.”
¶ 18 Martinez claims that the prosecutor knew, based on a series of free talks between the State and other defendants, as well as an interview of Martinez, that the alibi, although a fabrication, was not a “joke” about burning Aguilar because the reference was to another “Cisco.”
¶ 19 A prosecutor is entitled to make arguments supported by the record. State v. Hughes, 193 Ariz. 72, 85, ¶ 59, 969 P.2d 1184, 1197 (1998). The prosecutor’s comment about the alibi was a suggestion that Martinez’s reference to “Cisco” could not credibly be called a coincidence. The police interviews and free talks emphasized by Martinez on appeal do not rule out the possibility that Martinez did, in fact, intend the alibi to refer to the crime. The prosecutor’s statement was neither false nor a miseharacterization. There was simply no misconduct in this instance.
2
¶ 20 Martinez makes several additional attempts to demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct, none of which warrant detailed discussion. He alleges that prosecutors falsely claimed that Martinez “joked” about missing his first shot at Aguilar, wrongly claimed that Martinez had been accused of committing arson at his elementary school, and fallaciously questioned the veracity of Martinez’s claims that he killed Aguilar because he believed Aguilar was a child molester. All of the prosecutors’ comments are supported by evidence, including, in some cases, evidence proffered by Martinez himself. These additional allegations, therefore, are meritless.
B
¶21 The jury returned separate verdicts finding that Martinez committed felony minder and premeditated murder. Martinez argues that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of felony murder. He does not challenge the jury’s finding of premeditated murder.
¶ 22 Because felony murder is an alternate theory of first degree murder, State v. Tucker (Tucker I), 205 Ariz. 157,167, ¶ 50, 68 P.3d 110, 120 (2003), this Court need not consider a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence of felony murder when the jury also returns a separate verdict of guilt for premeditated murder. Anderson II, 210 Ariz. at 343, ¶ 59, 111 P.3d at 385 (“In any event, the jury returned separate guilty verdicts for both felony murder and premeditated murder as to each victim; therefore, the first-degree murder convictions would stand even absent a felony murder predicate.”); cf. State v. Smith, (Todd), 193 Ariz. 452, 460, ¶¶ 34-36, 974 P.2d 431, 439 (1999) (declining to address issue with premeditation instruction because defendant failed to challenge conviction for felony murder).
¶ 23 We are, however, concerned about the felony murder instruction in this case. The instruction stated:
The crime of first degree felony murder requires proof of the following two things: The defendant committed or attempted to commit a kidnapping; and
In the course of and in furtherance of this crime or immediate flight from this crime, the defendant or another person caused the death of any person.
With respect to the felony murder rule, insofar as it provides the basis for a charge of first degree murder, there is no requirement that the killing occurred “while committing” or “engaged in” the felony, or that the killing be a part of the felony. The homicide need not have been committed to perpetrate the felony.
It is enough if the felony and the killing were part of the same series of events. (Emphasis added.) The instruction used language long absent from Arizona’s felony murder statute. We have discouraged the use of this instruction because the emphasized sentence is not an accurate description of Arizona’s felony murder statute. State v. Miles, 186 Ariz. 10, 15, 918 P.2d 1028, 1033 (1996). Although Martinez cannot show prejudice, the instruction does not accurately state the law and we disapprove of its future use.
C
¶24 The State granted Lopez and Bedoy testimonial immunity as part of plea agreements under which each was permitted to plead to kidnapping, with a maximum sentence of twelve years. Each testified against Martinez at trial. Summey-Montaño pleaded guilty to first degree murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment; his post-conviction relief proceedings, see Ariz. R.Crim. P. 32, were pending at the time of Martinez’s trial. Martinez sought to compel Summey-Montaño to testify. Summey-Montaño invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The trial judge held that Summey-Montaño retained that right during the pendency of his initial post-conviction proceedings. See State v. Rosas-Hernandez, 202 Ariz. 212, 217, ¶ 14, 42 P.3d 1177, 1182 (App.2002) (“[I]f a witness’ Fifth Amendment privilege survives during a direct appeal, it also survives pending post-conviction relief.”).
¶ 25 Martinez now claims that his Sixth Amendment right to compel a witness to testify on his behalf was violated by the trial court’s failure to require Summey-Montaño to testify. We review the denial of a motion to compel for an abuse of discretion. State v. Corrales, 138 Ariz. 583, 588-89, 676 P.2d 615, 620-21 (1983).
¶ 26 A defendant has a right under the Sixth Amendment to compel witness testimony, but the right is “not absolute” and will give way when the witness’s preservation of his own Fifth Amendment rights would prevent him from answering relevant questions. State v. Harrod (Harrod III), 218 Ariz. 268, 276, ¶¶ 20-21, 183 P.3d 519, 527 (2008).
¶27 Citing Chavez v. Martinez, 538 U.S. 760, 123 S.Ct. 1994, 155 L.Ed.2d 984 (2003), Martinez argues that Summey-Montaño enjoyed no Fifth Amendment right to avoid testifying because such a right is implicated only by the government’s use of compelled testimony. Chavez stands for the proposition that a person subject to interrogation suffers no constitutional injury from the interrogation itself for the purpose of federal civil rights statutes. Id. at 766, 123 S.Ct. 1994 (“We fail to see how, based on the text of the Fifth Amendment, Martinez can allege a violation of this right, since Martinez was never prosecuted for a crime, let alone compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case.”) (plurality). We do not read Chavez as thus requiring the government to compel defense witnesses to testify. Rather, as we recently reiterated, when a witness has continued reason to fear prosecution, the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to compel that witness’s testimony may be properly limited. Harrod III, 218 Ariz. at 276, ¶ 23, 183 P.3d at 527; see also Rosas-Hernandez, 202 Ariz. at 217, ¶ 16, 42 P.3d at 1182 (stating that a defendant who pleaded guilty “retained the right not to incriminate himself during the ... period in which a timely initial petition for post-conviction relief may be filed”) (emphasis added).
¶28 Martinez also claims that the prosecution attempted to skew the jury’s understanding of the circumstances of the crimes by failing to offer immunity to Summey-Montaño, and therefore his Fourteenth Amendment due process rights were violated. This allegation of prosecutorial misconduct is not reflected in the record below; we therefore review for fundamental error. Velazquez, 216 Ariz. at 311, ¶ 47, 166 P.3d at 102.
¶ 29 “The state’s refusal to grant a particular witness immunity does not violate a defendant’s right to due process absent ... a showing that the witness would present clearly exculpatory evidence and that the state has no strong interest in withholding immunity.” State v. Doody, 187 Ariz. 363, 376, 930 P.2d 440, 453 (App.1996). There is no such showing here.
¶ 30 Martinez claims that the prosecution manipulated the sentencing agreements to prevent co-defendant Summey-Montaño from testifying to the “real reason” for the murder, which was not to cover up a robbery, but to punish Aguilar for the alleged molestation of Summey-Montaño’s cousin. But that argument is refuted by the record. The jury heard this information. Both Lopez and Bedoy testified that Martinez knew of the allegations against Aguilar.
D
¶31 During jury selection, a juror asked the trial judge about the appellate process. The judge described the process, noting that “anybody who is convicted of a crime has various Post-Conviction Relief rights. In other words, they can appeal the conviction. A higher court can review it and see if I did anything wrong, or if I made any improper rulings, if Mr. Martinez’s constitutional rights were violated, that kind of thing.”
¶ 32 Martinez claims that the trial judge’s comments improperly minimized the jury’s role in sentencing him to death. In Caldwell v. Mississippi, 472 U.S. 320, 333, 105 S.Ct. 2633, 86 L.Ed.2d 231 (1985), the Supreme Court stated that “[because] the sentence [is] subject to appellate review [only upon] a sentence of death, the chance that an invitation to rely on that review will generate a bias toward returning a death sentence is simply too great.”
¶33 No Caldwell error occurred here. Caldwell applies “only to certain types of comments] — those that mislead the jury as to its role in the sentencing process in a way that allows the jury to feel less responsible than it should for the sentencing decision.” Romano v. Oklahoma, 512 U.S. 1, 9, 114 S.Ct. 2004, 129 L.Ed.2d 1 (1994); Anderson II, 210 Ariz. at 337, ¶ 22, 111 P.3d at 379 (same); see also Caldwell, 472 U.S. at 343, 105 S.Ct. 2633 (O’Connor, J., concurring in part and concurring in the judgment) (prosecutor’s “misleading emphasis on appellate review misinformed the jury ... creating an unacceptable risk that the death penalty [may have been] meted out arbitrarily or capriciously”) (quotation marks omitted).
¶ 34 In contrast, the trial court here properly explained that appellate review largely pertains to the court’s legal decisions; further, in preliminary instructions given shortly after the eomplained-of statement, the court told the jury that the “decision to impose or not impose the death penally is made by you, the jury, not by the Judge. Your decision to sentence or not sentence the defendant to death is not a recommendation. Your decision to sentence or not sentence the defendant to death will be binding.”
E
¶35 Martinez contends that he was improperly forced to use a peremptory challenge to strike a juror whom the trial court should have struck for cause. We need not address this argument because the juror in question was not seated and Martinez makes no claim that any of the jurors who decided his case should have been struck for cause. See State v. Glassel, 211 Ariz. 33, 46-47, ¶ 41, 116 P.3d 1193, 1206-07 (2005); State v. Hickman, 205 Ariz. 192, 200-01, ¶¶ 34-36, 40-41, 68 P.3d 418, 426-27 (2003).
F
¶ 36 Defense counsel claimed at trial that he was unaware that the State had alleged the (F)(5) pecuniary gain aggravator. Martinez now argues the consequences of trial counsel’s apparent lack of preparation. This issue is not appropriate for review on direct appeal. State v. Spreitz, 202 Ariz. 1, 3, ¶ 9, 39 P.3d 525, 527 (2002) (“[Ineffective assistance of counsel claims are to be brought in Rule 32 proceedings.”).
G
¶ 37 Martinez next claims that during the jury’s deliberations, the trial judge improperly answered jury questions without notice to him or counsel. This alleged lack of notice was a principal claim in Martinez’s motion for a new trial. At the evidentiary hearing on that motion, members of his defense team (but not lead counsel) and Martinez testified that they had no knowledge, or did not remember, that the jury had posed questions; they also claimed that if they had known, they would have responded. The trial judge found, however, based on his recollection, and the affidavit of his bailiff, that the attorneys had, in fact, been contacted and lodged no objection to the trial court’s proposed answers. The trial court rejected Martinez’s factual contentions. Because the trial court’s conclusion has factual support in the record, we defer to that ruling.
¶ 38 In any event, the trial court committed no error in its responses addressing the jurors’ questions. As the questions and answers set out in the footnote indicate, there was simply nothing erroneous or prejudicial in the trial court’s responses.
¶ 39 For similar reasons we reject Martinez’s additional claim that the judge wrongfully failed to recognize jury confusion from the questions and to clarify the jury instructions. See State v. Ramirez, 178 Ariz. 116, 125-27, 871 P.2d 237, 246-48 (1994) (“[W]hen a jury asks a judge about a matter on which it has received adequate instruction, the judge may in his or her discretion refuse to answer, or may refer the jury to the earlier instruction.”) (citation omitted). The trial court acted within its discretion here. It simply referred the jury to the original instructions in two instances and in the third correctly stated the requirement that any verdict be unanimous. The original instructions properly noted that jurors did not have to settle on any single mitigator in order to return a life sentence.
H
¶ 40 Martinez argues the trial court committed fundamental error in instructing the jury that, if it was unable to reach a verdict at the aggravation phase, the judge would then impose a life sentence. Martinez argues that this misstatement of the law amounted to coercion of the verdict. Although the State conceded at oral argument that the jury instruction was incorrect, there was no coercion here. Indeed, the mistaken instruction favored Martinez by suggesting a single holdout juror could forestall death. Cf. Mills v. Maryland, 486 U.S. 367, 375, 108 S.Ct. 1860, 100 L.Ed.2d 384 (1988) (death penalty arbitrary when a holdout juror can prevent otherwise unanimous jury from finding mitigating factor). The trial court’s misstatement of the law did not prejudice Martinez.
I
1
¶ 41 During the penalty phase of the sentencing proceeding, Martinez introduced numerous documents, including Child Protective Service (“CPS”) reports, police reports, and other records. For example, Martinez introduced documents reporting that he had committed arson at his elementary school, including school reports and court records. He also introduced pages of disciplinary records from schools and the juvenile justice system, as well as reports from psychologists and psychiatrists who had interviewed him. Martinez attempted to show that his mother was inattentive and used drugs during pregnancy, that he was of limited intelligence, and that he had been sexually abused. Martinez’s expert testified that a combination of drug use, lack of sleep, and his own unresolved feelings about the molestation, along with Aguilar’s refusal to admit his own conduct as an alleged child molester, likely triggered the episode that resulted in Aguilar’s death.
¶ 42 The State’s rebuttal evidence suggested that Martinez’s family life was not as bad as he claimed, that his mother had made efforts to follow up on counseling and control his behavior, and that he exhibited behavior consistent with being a psychopath. The State also argued that in all of the evidence of prior violence by Martinez, nothing indicated a sexual trigger and Martinez himself never reported any sexual abuse until after a half-dozen sessions with his mental health expert in preparation for trial. The State also pointed out that a CPS report submitted as mitigation indicated that a prior suspicion that Martinez had been sexually abused had not been substantiated.
2
¶ 43 Martinez argues that the State’s efforts to rebut his mitigation evidence in the penalty phase violated his rights under the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause and deprived him of due process. He objects principally to “hearsay” testimony by juvenile probation officers regarding his behavior, the victim impact statement provided by Aguilar’s birth mother, and the claim he committed arson at his elementary school. Because he did not raise these objections at trial, we review for fundamental error. E.g., State v. Ellison, 213 Ariz. 116, 132, ¶ 54, 140 P.3d 899, 915 (2006), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 506, 166 L.Ed.2d 377 (2006).
¶ 44 As Martinez recognized, we rejected a similar Confrontation Clause argument in State v. McGill, 213 Ariz. 147, 160, ¶¶ 54-56, 140 P.3d 930, 943 (2006), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 127 S.Ct. 1914, 167 L.Ed.2d 570 (2007) (holding hearsay evidence admissible at the penalty phase, consistent with due process, when the “defendant knew about the statements and had an opportunity to either explain or deny them” and when the testimony has “sufficient indicia of reliability to be responsible evidence”) (citation omitted). We decline Martinez’s invitation to revisit McGill.
¶ 45 Martinez’s assertions regarding the victim impact statement compel no different result. The statement, which was unsworn and not subject to cross-examination, explained that Aguilar aspired to make something of his life and was well-loved by his family. Martinez claims that Aguilar’s birth mother should have been subjected to cross-examination, that the statement was false, and that the State should have corrected it. But victim impact evidence is not put on by the State, nor is cross-examination permitted or placing the victim’s mother under oath necessary. See A.R.S. § 13-4426.01 (Supp. 2007) (“[T]he victim’s right to be heard is exercised not as a witness, the victim’s statement is not subject to disclosure to the state or the defendant or submission to the court[,] and the victim is not subject to cross-examination.”). See A.R.S. § 13-703.01(S)(2).

¶46 Martinez raises several arguments relating to jury instructions in the penalty phase. These arguments focus on the trial court’s characterization of the role of jurors in assessing the proper penalty.
¶ 47 Martinez requested the following jury instruction about assessing mitigation evidence:
[I]n this phase, the defendant has got to present any relevant evidence which he and his attorneys believe are mitigating factors which will persuade one or more [of you] that the defendant shall be shown leniency and not receive the death sentence.
The State may also present evidence to you in an attempt to demonstrate the defendant should not be shown leniency. Rather than creating the risk of an unguided emotional response against the defendant, full consideration of evidence that mitigates against the death penalty is essential if you are to give a reasoned moral response to the defendant’s background, character and crime.
¶ 48 The trial court rejected this instruction and offered an alternative that did not include the word “moral”; it also precluded the defense from making a “moral judgment” argument in its opening statement.
¶ 49 “A trial court’s refusal to give a jury instruction is reviewed for abuse of discretion.” Anderson II, 210 Ariz. at 343, ¶ 60, 111 P.3d at 385 (citing State v. Bolton, 182 Ariz. 290, 309, 896 P.2d 830, 849 (1995)). The legal adequacy of an instruction, however, is reviewed de novo. State v. Johnson, 212 Ariz. 425, 431, ¶ 15, 133 P.3d 735, 741 (2006), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 127 S.Ct. 559, 166 L.Ed.2d 415 (2006).
¶ 50 Martinez contends that the trial court erred in “converting] a moral decision into a factual decision.” He argues that the court misled the jurors in describing their role as reaching a “reasoned” decision, “uninfluenced by sympathy.” His argument hinges on the absence of the word “moral” from the instructions.
¶ 51 The Supreme Court has described the capital sentencing decision as a “reasoned moral response” to mitigation evidence. Penry v. Lynaugh, 492 U.S. 302, 328, 109 S.Ct. 2934, 106 L.Ed.2d 256 (1989), abrogated on other grounds by Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304, 122 S.Ct. 2242, 153 L.Ed.2d 335 (2002).
¶ 52 The Supreme Court’s use of the phrase a “reasoned moral response” describes the result of individualized sentencing that appropriately considers “any aspect of the defendant’s character, propensities or record and any of the circumstances of the offense” relevant to determine whether the defendant should be shown leniency. A.R.S. § 13-703(G); see also Kansas v. Marsh, 548 U.S. 163, 173-74, 126 S.Ct. 2516, 165 L.Ed.2d 429 (2006) (jury must reach reasoned decision); Anderson II, 210 Ariz. at 349, ¶ 92, 111 P.3d at 391 (rejecting claim that instruction that jury should not be “swayed by mere sentiment, conjecture, sympathy, passion, prejudice, public opinion, or public feeling” violated the Eighth Amendment). The superior court here made clear to the jury that it should consider all possible mitigating evidence. The omission of the word “moral” from the final instructions did not render the instructions, as a whole, incorrect or misleading.
¶ 53 Likewise, we reject Martinez’s claim that the court prevented him from urging the jury to employ “moral judgment” in his favor. As the State notes, Martinez explicitly asked jurors to consider the ease “in accordance with thousands of years of the JudeoChristian tradition” and, in fact, traced that tradition from the Exodus to the Sermon on the Mount. Consequently, Martinez was effectively allowed to argue that a death verdict involved a “moral” judgment.

¶ 54 Martinez also challenges two other jury instructions. First, he contends that the court erred in instructing the jury that the “defendant has the burden of proving any mitigating circumstance by a preponderance of the evidence” and that “[i]f your decision is that there are no mitigating circumstances or that mitigating circumstances are not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency, your verdict must be that the defendant be sentenced to death.” He claims that “[b]oth statements are technically accurate, but they leave the impression that the defendant bears the burden of proving that the mitigation is sufficiently substantial to call for leniency,” contrary to State ex rel. Thomas v. Granville (Baldwin), 211 Ariz. 468, 123 P.3d 662 (2005).
¶ 55 Baldwin rejected the state’s contention that a jury should be instructed that the defendant bore the burden of proving that the mitigation was substantial enough to call for leniency, finding that neither the state nor the defendant has such a burden of proof. Id. at 472, ¶¶ 13-14, 123 P.3d at 666. The rejected instruction dealt with the burden of proof, not the burden of production. Our subsequent cases have held that the jury can properly be told that if it concludes that there is no mitigation or the mitigation is not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency, a death verdict should result. State v. Tucker (Tucker II), 215 Ariz. 298, 318, ¶ 74, 160 P.3d 177, 197 (2007), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 296, 169 L.Ed.2d 211 (2007); accord Velazquez, 216 Ariz. at 310, ¶ 43, 166 P.3d at 101 (instruction requiring a verdict of death if jury unanimously finds no mitigating circumstances sufficiently substantial to call for leniency proper “as long as the jury is allowed to consider all relevant mitigating evidence”).
¶ 56 Second, Martinez claims that an instruction requiring jurors to “individually weigh ... mitigating circumstances against the aggravating circumstances” and describing the manner in which such weighing can be performed, was error. We rejected this argument in Velazquez. 216 Ariz. at 310, ¶ 39, 166 P.3d at 101 (noting that term “weigh” may be used to describe juror’s decision).
K
¶ 57 Having received a note indicating that the jury was at an impasse, the trial judge stated in open court, with only counsel and Martinez present, that he was “going to bring [the jury] in and declare a mistrial.” When the jury returned, the court asked if further deliberations would be helpful. The jurors said yes. The court therefore dispatched the jury to continue deliberating. Martinez now argues that the trial had “ended,” and the judge erred by allowing further deliberation. As Martinez’s brief concedes, however, the judge “announced [the] intention to declare a mistrial”; he never actually granted a mistrial. Because no mistrial had been declared and the jury indicated that further deliberations would be helpful, the superior court did not abuse its discretion in allowing further deliberations.
L
¶ 58 Martinez next claims he was entitled to a jury determination of his “defense” of mental retardation. Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304, 321, 122 S.Ct. 2242, 153 L.Ed.2d 335 (2002). We noted in State v. Grell that Arizona’s proceedings for determining mental retardation operate like an affirmative defense. 212 Ariz. 516, 522, ¶ 26, 135 P.3d 696, 702 (2006), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 127 S.Ct. 2246, 167 L.Ed.2d 1095 (2007). But our analogy in Grell simply illustrated why the burden of proving retardation could be placed on the defendant; no affirmative defense was created. See State v. Casey, 205 Ariz. 359, 362, ¶ 10, 71 P.3d 351, 354 (2003) (explaining that the power to create affirmative defenses lies with the legislature).
M
¶ 59 Martinez raises several Eighth Amendment and statutory challenges to this Court’s review of death penalty verdicts under A.R.S. § 13-703.05. “All legal and constitutional questions are reviewed de novo.” Harrod III, 218 Ariz. at 279, ¶ 38, 183 P.3d at 530.
1
¶60 In 2002, the legislature ended our independent review of death penalty verdicts for murders committed after August 1, 2002. See 2002 Ariz. Sess. Laws, ch. 1, § 7(B) (5th Spec.Sess.); see also A.R.S. § 13-703.04 (Supp.2003); A.R.S. § 13-703.05. Section 13-703.05 provides that this Court now only determines whether the trier of fact abused its discretion in finding aggravating factors and determining that a death sentence is appropriate.
¶ 61 The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment; however, the provision also “guarantees individuals the right not to be subjected to excessive sanctions.” Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551, 560, 125 S.Ct. 1183, 161 L.Ed.2d 1 (2005). Martinez therefore argues that this Court must review the propriety of death penalty verdicts under a de novo standard, just as he claims the Supreme Court reviews excessive fines and punitive damages de novo.
¶ 62 The Supreme Court, however, has never required de novo review of death sentences; review need only be “meaning-fill.” Clemons v. Mississippi, 494 U.S. 738, 749, 110 S.Ct. 1441, 108 L.Ed.2d 725 (1990). “It is a routine task of appellate courts to decide whether the evidence supports a jury verdict and in capital cases ... to consider whether the evidence is such that the sentencer could have arrived at the death sentence that was imposed.” Id. at 748-49, 110 S.Ct. 1441. De novo review of the sentencing decision is not constitutionally required. See Jurek v. Texas, 428 U.S. 262, 276, 96 S.Ct. 2950, 49 L.Ed.2d 929 (1976) (providing judicial review enough to “promote the evenhanded, rational, and consistent imposition of death sentences under law”).
2
¶ 63 Martinez also argues that A.R.S. § 13-4037(B) (2001), which directs that “[u]pon an appeal ... from the sentence on the ground that it is excessive, the court shall have the power to reduce the extent or duration of the punishment imposed, if, in its opinion ... the punishment imposed is greater than under the circumstances of the case ought to be inflicted” preserves this Court’s independent review.
¶ 64 At one time this Court purported to ground its power for independent review of death sentences in this provision’s predecessor. State v. Richmond, 114 Ariz. 186, 196, 560 P.2d 41, 51 (1976), abrogated in part by State v. Salazar, 173 Ariz. 399, 417, 844 P.2d 566, 584 (1992). The Court subsequently has relied exclusively on A.R.S. § 13-703.04 and its predecessors for such authority. E.g., Velazquez, 216 Ariz. at 313, ¶ 58, 166 P.3d at 104. Because the legislature expressly abolished independent review for murders committed after August 1, 2002, any reliance on A.R.S § 13-4037 in the context of capital sentencing is misplaced.
N
¶65 Martinez challenges both the jury’s finding of aggravators and its determination that the mitigation evidence presented was not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency. We review to determine whether “the trier of fact abused its discretion in finding aggravating circumstances and imposing a sentence of death.” A.R.S. § 13-703.05(A). Consequently, “we uphold a decision if there is any reasonable evidence in the record to sustain it.” State v. Morris, 215 Ariz. 324, 340-41, ¶ 77, 160 P.3d 203, 219-20 (2007), cert. denied, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 887, 169 L.Ed.2d 742 (2008) (quotation marks and citation omitted).
1
¶ 66 Under A.R.S § 13-703(F)(5), a first degree murder is aggravated if the homicide was committed “as consideration for the receipt, or in expectation of the receipt, of anything of pecuniary value.” Martinez argues that the (F)(5) aggravator was not proven as a matter of law because the State failed to establish that “but for” his pecuniary gain motive, the slaying would not have occurred. See State v. Garza, 216 Ariz. 56, 68, ¶ 52, 163 P.3d 1006, 1018 (2007), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 890, 169 L.Ed.2d 743 (2008) (“To establish the (F)(5) aggravator, ‘the state must prove that the murder would not have occurred but for the defendant’s pecuniary motive.’ ”) (quoting State v. Ring (Ring III), 204 Ariz. 534, 560, ¶ 75, 65 P.3d 915, 941 (2003)). Pecuniary gain, however, need only be a motive for the murder, not the sole motive. See State v. Hyde, 186 Ariz. 252, 280, 921 P.2d 655, 683 (1996) (“Pecuniary gain need not be the exclusive cause for a murder.”); accord State v. Boggs, 218 Ariz. 325, 340, ¶¶ 73-74, 185 P.3d 111, 126 (2008). The notion of a “but for” relationship merely means that “[t]he state must establish the connection between the murder and motive through direct or strong circumstantial evidence.” Ring III, 204 Ariz. at 560, ¶ 76, 65 P.3d at 941.
¶ 67 The jury did not abuse its discretion in finding the (F)(5) aggravator here. It heard substantial evidence that Aguilar was beaten and his jewelry taken. The jury heard that he was ferried, while bound, to his own home where more property was taken and was interrogated about the location of other property. In addition, the jury heard evidence that Martinez agreed to “rob” Aguilar. Martinez and his companions took steps throughout the course of the crime to conceal Aguilar from public view: Martinez kept him hidden in the trunk of a car and helped ensure their broken down ear was moved to a side street before transferring Aguilar into the Explorer, which prevented the victim from being seen at the gas station. When Aguilar was conducted to the Explorer, Martinez parked the Explorer behind the other car to obscure it from view, and Aguilar was covered with a blanket. Finally, Aguilar’s body was burned, an attempt to cover up the kidnapping, the robbery, and the murder itself.
¶ 68 These facts support the jury’s finding that Aguilar was murdered to allow Martinez to keep the stolen property and avoid capture. See Ellison, 213 Ariz. at 143, ¶¶ 124-25, 140 P.3d at 926 (record indicated that the defendant’s “motive for the murders was to facilitate the burglary” where the defendant went to the victims’ house with the intent to burglarize it, knew the area and the victims, and did not conceal identity).
2
¶ 69 Under A.R.S. § 13-703(F)(6), a first degree murder is aggravated when “[t]he defendant committed the offense in an especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner.” “The ‘heinous, cruel, or depraved’ aggravator is written in the disjunctive and the state need prove only one of the three conditions to trigger application of the aggravating circumstance.” Grell, 212 Ariz. at 519 n. 2, ¶ 8, 135 P.3d at 699 n. 2. Accordingly, “[a] finding of cruelty alone is sufficient to establish the F.6 aggravator.” Morris, 215 Ariz. at 341, ¶ 80, 160 P.3d at 220.
¶70 “Cruelty involves the pain and distress visited upon the victims” and “may be found when the victim consciously experienced physical or mental pain prior to death, and the defendant knew or should have known that suffering would occur.” Anderson II, 210 Ariz. at 352 n. 18, ¶ 109, 111 P.3d at 394 n. 18 (quotation marks, substitution, and citations omitted). Substantial evidence supports the jury’s conclusion that the killing was “especially cruel.” Martinez was a major participant in beating, kidnapping, and slaying Aguilar. Indeed, he pulled the trigger for the shot that ultimately lulled Aguilar.
¶ 71 The State conclusively established that Martinez’s ongoing physical violence against Aguilar caused Aguilar mental anguish that Martinez knew or should have known would have occurred. Ellison, 213 Ariz. at 142, ¶¶ 120-21, 140 P.3d at 925 (mental anguish shown when victims “experienced significant uncertainty as to [their] ultimate fate”) (citation omitted). Because the jury heard overwhelming evidence that the slaying was especially cruel, we need not examine “whether the jury abused its discretion in finding that the murders were also heinous or depraved.” Morris, 215 Ariz. at 341, ¶ 80, 160 P.3d at 220.
¶ 72 Martinez also argues that the (F)(6) aggravator is “inapplicable” because “[everything that was cruel was done by Mr. Summey-Montaño.” The record, however, is replete with evidence of Martinez’s cruelty and the superior court expressly instructed the jury not to impute Summey-Montafio’s conduct to Martinez. Id. at 215 Ariz. at 337, ¶ 55, 160 P.3d at 216 (“Jurors are presumed to follow the judge’s instructions.”).
3
¶73 At the penalty phase, Martinez focused on claims of family problems, including parental inattention. He also argued the more lenient sentences given to Lopez, Bedoy, and Summey-Montaño were mitigating circumstances and that Summey-Montaño was more culpable. Martinez further pointed to the availability of a life sentence, his age, family ties and remorse, his impaired intelligence, and impairment from the use of drugs and alcohol.
¶ 74 On appeal, however, Martinez focuses almost entirely on his contention that the evidence presented to the jury showed that the victim had committed “contributory conduct” and that Martinez, because he claimed to have been abused as a child, could not control himself when he was informed of Aguilar’s alleged molestation of Summey-Montafio’s cousin.
¶ 75 Martinez’s attack on the victim’s supposed conduct is not a compelling mitigating factor. Moreover, much of Martinez’s argument is not supported by the record. The very foundation of the claim — that Martinez was himself sexually abused — was undermined by the absence of any evidence that Martinez himself claimed abuse until his life depended on it. The remainder of his mitigation evidence was unfocused and largely rebutted by the State. The jury did not abuse its discretion in finding this evidence not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency-
O
¶76 The jury also convicted Martinez of kidnapping. See A.R.S. § 13-1304(A)(3) (2001). It found that the offense was dangerous and involved the intentional or knowing infliction of serious physical injury. See A.R.S. § 13-604(1) (Supp.2003).
¶77 At sentencing, the trial court found aggravating circumstances, including the presence of accomplices, Martinez’s criminal history, his use of drugs and alcohol, and “all factors found by the jury that were considered by the jury as aggravating factors including, but not limited to the pecuniary gain” aggravator. The court sentenced Martinez to an aggravated term of twenty years, to be served consecutively to his death sentence. Martinez did not object to the trial judge, rather than the jury, finding factors to justify an aggravated sentence.
¶78 In Blakely v. Washington, the Supreme Court held that, generally, any fact that increased a defendant’s sentence beyond a “statutory maximum” must be proved to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt. 542 U.S. 296, 301-05,124 S.Ct. 2531,159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004). Martinez now claims his aggravated sentence for kidnapping was error.
¶ 79 Because Martinez did not object, we review this claim for fundamental error and require that the “defendant ... establish ... that fundamental error exists and that the error in his case caused him prejudice.” Henderson, 210 Ariz. at 567, ¶¶ 19-20, 115 P.3d at 607 (citation omitted).
¶ 80 The State argues that no reasonable jury could fail to find the aggravators the court identified. We agree. It was uneontested that the kidnapping involved accomplices, a statutory aggravating factor. A.R.S. § 13-702(0(4) (Supp.2003). Likewise, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that Martinez and his cohorts restrained Aguilar, took jewelry from him, and took him to his home where other property was taken from him. A.R.S. § 13-702(0(6). On this record, the trial court did not commit fundamental error in aggravating Martinez’s sentence for kidnapping.
Ill
¶81 Martinez raises seventeen issues to avoid preclusion for federal review. They are presented as in his opening brief:
1. The reasonable doubt instruction of State v. Portillo, 182 Ariz. 592, 898 P.2d 970 (1995), dilutes and shifts the burden of proof in violation of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Rejected in Ellison, 213 Ariz. at 133, ¶ 63, 140 P.3d at 916.
2. The (F)(5) pecuniary gain aggravator is unconstitutionally overbroad and fails to narrow in violation of Arave v. Creech, 507 U.S. 463, 113 S.Ct. 1534, 123 L.Ed.2d 188 (1993), and the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Rejected in State v. Greenway, 170 Ariz. 155, 163, 823 P.2d 22, 30 (1991).
3. The (F)(6) cruel, heinous and depraved aggravator is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad because the jury does not have enough experience or guidance to determine when the aggravator is met. The finding of this aggravator by a jury violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution because it does not sufficiently place limits on the discretion of the sentencing body, the jury, which has no narrowing constructions to draw from and give substance to the otherwise facially vague law. Rejected in State v. Cromwell, 211 Ariz. 181, 188-90, ¶¶ 40-45, 119 P.3d 448, 455-57 (2005).
4. Arizona’s death penalty statute creates an unconstitutional presumption of death and impermissibly shifts to him the burden of proving that mitigation is sufficiently substantial to call for leniency in violation the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in Baldwin, 211 Ariz. at 471-72, ¶¶ 9-17, 123 P.3d [at] 665-66.
5. The death penalty is cruel and unusual under any circumstances and violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 186-87 [96 S.Ct. 2909, 49 L.Ed.2d 859] (1976); State v. Harrod, 200 Ariz. 309, 320, ¶ 59, 26 P.3d 492, 503 (2001) , judgment vacated on other grounds by Harrod v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 953 [122 S.Ct. 2653, 153 L.Ed.2d 830] (2002) .
6. Execution by lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Van Adams, 194 Ariz. 408, 422, ¶ 55, 984 P.2d 16, 30 (1999).
7. The prosecutor’s discretion to seek the death penalty has no standards and therefore violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Sections 1, 4, and 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Sansing, 200 Ariz. 347, 361, ¶ 46, 26 P.3d 1118, 1132 (2001), judgment vacated on other grounds by Sansing v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 954, 122 S.Ct. 2654, 153 L.Ed.2d 830 (2002).
8. Proportionality review serves to identify which cases are above the norm of first degree murder, thus narrowing the class of defendants who are eligible for the death penalty. The absence of proportionality review of death sentences by Arizona courts denies capital defendants due process of law and equal protection and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Gulbrandson, 184 Ariz. 46, 73, 906 P.2d 579, 606 (1995).
9. Arizona’s capital sentencing scheme is unconstitutional because it does not require the state to prove the death penalty is appropriate or require the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the aggravating circumstances outweigh the accumulated mitigating circumstances. Instead, Arizona’s death penalty statute requires defendants to prove their lives should be spared, in violation of the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Fulminante, 161 Ariz. 237, 258, 778 P.2d 602, 623 (1988).
10. Section 13-703 provides no objective standards to guide the senteneer in weighing the aggravating and mitigating circumstances in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Pandeli (Pandeli I), 200 Ariz. 365, 382, ¶ 90, 26 P.3d 1136, 1153 (2001), judgment vacated on other grounds by Pandeli v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 953, 122 S.Ct. 2654, 153 L.Ed.2d 830 (2002).
11. Arizona’s death penalty scheme is unconstitutional because it does not require the senteneer to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the aggravating circumstances outweigh the accumulated mitigating circumstances in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Poyson, 198 Ariz. 70, 83, ¶ 59, 7 P.3d 79, 92 (2000).
12. Arizona’s death penalty scheme does not sufficiently channel the sentencing jury’s discretion. Aggravating circumstances should narrow the class of persons eligible for the death penalty and reasonably justify the imposition of a harsher penalty. Section 13-703.01 is unconstitutional because it provides no objective standards to guide the jury in weighing the aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The broad scope of Arizona’s aggravating factors encompasses nearly anyone involved in a murder, in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in Pandeli I, 200 Ariz. at 382, ¶ 90, 26 P.3d at 1153.
13. The fact-finder in capital cases must be able to consider all relevant mitigating evidence in deciding whether to give the death penalty. Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 U.S. 280, 303-04 [96 S.Ct. 2978, 49 L.Ed.2d 944] (1976). The trial court’s failure to allow the jury to consider and give effect to all mitigating evidence in this case by limiting its consideration to that proven by a preponderance of the evidence is unconstitutional under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Section 15, of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in McGill 213 Ariz. at 161, ¶ 59, 140 P.3d at 944.
14. By allowing victim impact evidence at the penalty phase of the trial, the trial court violated Defendant’s constitutional rights under the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Sections 1, 4, 13, 15, 23, and 24 of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in Lynn v. Reinstein, 205 Ariz. 186, 191, ¶¶ 15-17, 68 P.3d 412, 417 (2003).
15. The trial court improperly omitted from the penalty phase jury instructions language to the effect that the jury may consider mercy or sympathy in deciding the value to assign the mitigation evidence, instead telling the jury to assign whatever value it deemed appropriate. The court also instructed the jury that it must not be influenced by mere sympathy or by prejudice in determining these facts, thus limiting the mitigation the jury could consider in violation of the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 2, Sections 1, 4, 13, 15, 23, and 24 of the Arizona Constitution. Rejected in State v. Carreon, 210 Ariz. 54, 70-71, ¶¶ 83-87, 107 P.3d 900, 916-17 (2005).
16. The death penalty is an irreversible denial of human rights and international law. Rejected in State v. Richmond, 136 Ariz. 312, 322, 666 P.2d 57, 67 (1983).
17. Consecutive sentences for the felony murder conviction and the underlying felony of kidnapping violate A.R.S. § 13-116 (2001) and the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Rejected in State v. Girdler, 138 Ariz. 482, 489, 675 P.2d 1301, 1308 (1983) (holding that consecutive punishments for felony murder and predicate felony do not violate double jeopardy).
IV
¶82 For the forgoing reasons, we affirm Martinez’s convictions and sentences.
CONCURRING: RUTH V. McGREGOR, Chief Justice, REBECCA WHITE BERCH, Vice Chief Justice, ANDREW D. HURWITZ and W. SCOTT BALES, Justices.
. We review the facts in the “light most favorable to sustaining the verdict[s].” State v. Tucker (Tucker I), 205 Ariz. 157, 160 n. 1, 68 P.3d 110, 113 n. 1 (2003).
. Martinez claimed that Summey-Montaño had told him that Aguilar had raped Summey-Montaño’s eleven-year-old cousin.
. Martinez was seen with women’s jewelry after leaving Aguilar’s house. Fritzie Gonzalez, the woman with whom Aguilar lived, told jurors that her house had been "turned upside down.” She was missing beer and liquor, a computer printer, jewelry, and jewelry boxes. Gonzalez identified jewelry found on Martinez as including a bracelet she had given Aguilar and other items that belonged to her.
. In early 2006, Martinez filed a motion for new trial under Arizona Rule of Criminal Procedure 24.1, raising many of the issues he now advocates on appeal. The superior court denied the motion after a hearing.
. Francisco Aguilar had been called “Cisco.”
. For example, both Bedoy and Lopez testified that Martinez laughed about missing his first, close-range shot at Aguilar. Evidence of the school arson allegations against him was in the records provided by Martinez to the jury. Further, the prosecutor’s comments as to Martinez’s motive properly questioned the link between the alleged motive and Martinez’s own claim of having been victimized as a child. The prosecution pointed to the absence in the same documents of any complaint by Martinez that when he was a child he had been the victim of molestation.
. To the extent that evidence of the “real motive” was relevant as mitigation. Martinez himself told the jury in the penalty phase that this was the reason he killed Aguilar.
. The better practice is to make a contemporaneous record with counsel about any jury questions and proposed responses. Cf. State v. Mata, 125 Ariz. 233, 240-41, 609 P.2d 48, 55-56 (1980) (trial court contacted counsel and offered opportunity to make record).
. The questions and answers were:
[Q] Is murder as an attempt to cover up a robbery considered a murder for pecuniary gain?
[A] You must rely on the Court’s instructions and make your determination. No further explanation is appropriate at this time.
[Q] B. If some jurors agree that there are mitigating circumstances must all jurors be in agreement that a mitigating circumstance exists. A. Must we be unamous [sic] to find for life. [It appears from the record that Judge Fell added the letter designations to this jury question, then answered the question correspondingly].
[A] A. See [Instruction] # 1 re: unanimous. B. You must rely on the instructions given. No further instructions will be provided.
[Q] The instructions have confused some. Does the verdict have to be unanimous for death or life? Some think only death sentence has to be unanimous[.]
[A] Your verdict must be unanimous no matter what your decision is.
. Compare A.R.S. § 13-703.01 (E) (Supp.2007) ("If the trier of fact unanimously finds no aggravating circumstances, the court shall then determine whether to impose a sentence of life or natural life on the defendant.”), with id. § 13-703.01 (J) ("At the aggravation phase, if the trier of fact is a jury, the jury is unable to reach á verdict on any of the alleged aggravating circumstances and the jury has not found that at least one of the alleged aggravating circumstances has been proven, the court shall dismiss the jury and shall impanel a new jury.") (emphasis added).
. Martinez also argues that reports that he committed arson against his elementary school should have been excluded on other evidentiary grounds. His argument that Rule 404(b), Ariz. R. Evid., and this Court's related case law addressing the standard for admitting other acts evidence in criminal trials should preclude this evidence is misplaced. Section 13 — 703(C) (Supp.2007) mandates that "the prosecution ... may present any information that is relevant to any of the mitigating circumstances ... regardless of its admissibility under the rules governing admission of evidence at criminal trials” in the penalty phase of a capital proceeding.
. Martinez also claims that the falsity of the victim statement is demonstrated by the State’s later “disavowal” of it. This is not an accurate statement of the State's position. In post-trial proceedings, the prosecution merely noted that Aguilar’s mother’s opinions were her own. See A.R.S. § 13-4426.01.
. The trial here occurred before this Court issued its opinion in Baldwin.
. We decline to consider two of Martinez’s Eighth Amendment challenges. The first, that Martinez's sentence is disproportionate compared to the sentences imposed upon other murderers, is settled against him, as his counsel correctly conceded at oral argument. Pulley v. Harris, 465 U.S. 37, 50-51, 104 S.Ct. 871, 79 L.Ed.2d 29 (1984) ("There is ... no basis in our cases for holding that comparative proportionality review by an appellate court is required in every case in which the death penalty is imposed and the defendant requests it.”); State v. Salazar,
173 Ariz. 399, 417, 844 P.2d 566, 584 (1992) (rejecting proportionality review).
The other, that the Eighth Amendment is violated as applied to his case, is waived for lack of argument. Ariz. R.Crim. P. 31.13(c)( 1)(vi) (proper argument "shall contain ... the reasons therefor, with citations to the authorities, statutes and parts of the record relied on”). In any event, given that the jury properly found aggravating circumstances making Martinez eligible for a capital sentence, the argument is simply another way of arguing proportionality.

Name: Daniel Belardinelli Born: 12 May 1961 New York City, N.Y., USA Nationality: American Field: Painting, drawing Training: Autodidact Movement: Outsider, Art Brut Works: Raw Power; Birds of Prey; Seducer & Medusa; Heads You Win Tails You Lose; Sybarite; Flowers for Eurydice; Heavily Armed; Collateral Estoppel; Ladies & Gentlemen of the Jury; Tired of Fighting Influenced by: Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers,Christopher Makos, and Antonio Lopez.
Daniel Belardinelli (American, born. 5.12.61) is an American self-taught artist and autodidact. He was born and raised in NYC & maintains his studio in Soho, NYC.
Daniel had some communication and learning difficulties, but was able to express and process his feelings through his compositions. By the time the Manhattan native was 15 years old he frequented Studio 54 and Xenon. As a result he met and was influenced by Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Christopher Makos, and Antonio Lopez. He began to develop addictions and eventually was able to keep them at bay by drawing and painting about them and continues to redirect his self-destructive urges into his work. Belardinelli uses multiple mediums to paint and was the first artist to create nailpolish paintings.
Daniel drew what he heard from the blackbox recording of Flight 93 of 9/11 and these paintings were included in Jere Longman's book "Among the Heroes". At the last minute Belardinelli had cancelled plans to join his uncle William Cashman on flight 93, which ultimately crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Belardinelli has shown at the Outsider Art Fair for the past 18 years, and his work hangs in the American Visionary Art Museum.Maccami (talk) 04:07, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

4 youth, "and the little man there with a hump on his back, who scoffs at him now, enjoyed much of his bounty; for his generosity was boundless. Gabriel came to Amsterdam, submitted to every precept, and entered our faith. Henceforth he bore the name of Uriel Acosta. He followed zealously what is written: 'Thou shalt search therein day and night.' I have often been told that it was affecting to see how the stately man was not ashamed to be instructed in Hebrew or the Holy Scriptures by the merest boy. But an unclean spirit entered into him, and he began to scoff at our pious Rabbis. You have heard here that he was one of those who deny the foundations of our faith; he has set down the sins of his heart in his writings, and would prove them from the Holy Word. Rabbi Solomon de Silva, our celebrated physician, has refuted his errors. Acosta was excommunicated, but freed himself by recantation. The contrary spirit in him, however, rested not. He not only opposed our holy religion, in that, as his own nephew said, he violated the Sabbath, and enjoying forbidden meats, and dissuaded two Christians, who would have changed to Judaism, but he spoke openly, as a very apostate, against all religion. For seven years he refused to live according to the precepts of our faith, or undergo the penance laid upon him. He should have been laid forever under the greater excommunication, and expelled from among our people. On | WIKI |
External degree
An external degree is a degree offered by a university to students who have not been required to be physically present within the geographic territory of the institution. These undergraduates may be called external students and may study at classes unconnected with the university, or independently, or by distance learning. They may obtain the degree by passing examinations once they have reached the required standard, or by having successfully completed a programme put together from various courses or modules.
In 1858 the University of London became the first English university to offer external degrees, holding exams open to people in other cities, or to London students who had attended evening classes. In various UK towns university colleges were established, where students could study towards a London external degree. The colleges were among the "approved centres" for London's exams. Soon centres overseas were approved, starting with one in Mauritius in 1865. The University of Durham offered external degrees from 1871. | WIKI |
High oil consumption and oil pressure, possible PCV system malfunction
Can a faulty PCV valve cause excessive oil consumption?
A clogged hose or PCV system or inoperative valve can increase oil consumption because pressure builds when the vapors in the crankcase aren’t allowed to flow into the combustion chambers. That additional pressure can force oil past seals and gaskets.
Does PCV valve affect oil pressure?
Excessive oil consumption and leak
This is because the pressure in the crankcase may increase when the PCV valve fails, so the oil is pushed out through the seals and gaskets since there’s no other way for the pressure to be released. The leak will cause your vehicle to burn oil and leak oil beneath your vehicle.
Can a PCV valve cause oil loss?
When a PCV valve stops working, pressure builds up inside the valve cover. This pressure can cause a number of problems for the engine, including an oil leak, particularly at the valve pan gasket. Clogged PCV valves may make an engine run poorly, decrease gas mileage and increase vehicle emissions.
What are the possible causes of I Low oil pressure and II high oil consumption in the lubrication system of an engine?
In any case, it helps to understand some of the most common causes.
1. Not Enough Oil in the Engine. …
2. Too High or Low Viscosity. …
3. Apparent Low Pressure. …
4. Engine Wear. …
5. Defective Oil Pressure Gauge. …
6. Pump Wear. …
7. Plugged Filter.
What are the symptoms of a clogged PCV valve?
Symptoms of a Stuck Closed PCV Valve or System
• Increase in internal engine pressure.
• Failure of one or more oil seals or gaskets.
• Engine oil leaks.
• Low whistling or moaning noise.
• Moisture and sludge buildup inside the engine.
• Engine surges.
• MAF sensor trouble code.
• P0171 or P0174 trouble codes.
How much does it cost to replace PCV valve?
The average replacement cost for a PCV valve is anywhere from $35 to $75. The part itself only costs around $10 or $15. If you know how to replace the valve yourself, you could cut out the labor costs altogether and only pay $10 or $15 for the replacement.
How do you fix high oil consumption?
How Can We Stop Engine Oil Consumption? You can increase the oil grade and/or use an oil-burning reduction additive. If you’ve been using 10W-30 oil, replace it with 10W-40 or a single-grade oil. If you want to use a 40-weight oil in the summer, you can use it in the summer and a 20- or 30-weight oil in the winter.
What is the most common cause of excessive oil consumption?
Under normal operating conditions, excess oil consumption is generally a mechanical problem. In the majority of cases where oil consumption problems have been investigated, it usually turns out to be a leak issue – either the valve cover gasket is leaking, crankshaft seals leaking, or one of the main seals is leaking.
What is the reason for high oil consumption?
Detailed Solution
Causes Remedies
External oil leakage Rectify the leakage
High oil level Remove excess oil
Valve oil seal damaged Replace oil seal
Piston/rings wornout Replace piston/rings
Can dirty intake valves cause oil consumption?
Oil Mobility and Consumption Through Engine Valves
If there’s too much clearance between the valve stems and guides, the engine will suck more oil down the guides and into the cylinders. This could be caused by valve guide wear and seals that are worn, cracked, missing, broken or improperly installed.
Why is my car losing oil but no leak?
Why Is My Car Losing Oil? When a car mysteriously loses oil, there are usually two possible causes: either you’ve sprung a leak, or your engine is burning it away. Though you may not see any visible signs of leakage, less noticeable parts like a worn seal or leaky rings may be the culprit.
Can a blown head gasket cause oil consumption?
Excessive consumption of oil can be caused by a rupture in the head gasket. Oil consumption can be caused by other things (like worn piston rings) but if your car is going through too much oil, a blown head gasket could be the culprit.
What are the first signs of a blown head gasket?
Bad head gasket symptoms
• White smoke coming from the tailpipe.
• BUBBLING IN THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT RESERVOIR.
• unexplained coolant loss with no leaks.
• Milky white coloration in the oil.
• Engine overheating.
How do I know if my Headgasket is blown?

I spent a day in Windsor and don't know why Prince Harry, Meghan Markle want to leave
I spent a day exploring Windsor, the historic English town that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left behind as they start a new life in Canada. The Queen recently confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would spend time in both the UK and Canada during a transitional period as they depart from their working roles within the royal family.They are currently on Vancouver Island with baby Archie. With reports that their Frogmore Cottage staff have been relocated, there&aposs no word on when — or if — the couple plan to permanently return to the UK. I wanted to see why the couple would leave behind a place that has such significance to them. Prince Harry spent his teenage years at Eton College boarding school while his grandmother used the nearby Windsor Castle as her weekend home base.Despite the small group of tourists at Windsor Castle, the rest of the town appeared a perfectly cozy and quiet place when I visited last Tuesday — ideal for two people looking to escape the spotlight.Visit Insider&aposs homepage for more stories.
As soon as I stepped off the train at Windsor and Eton Riverside station, it was evident that "royals" is a prominent theme in this town.
My first impression was that the area managed to appear both cozy and quiet ...
... and yet there was no denying that two royal megastars live (or used to live) here.
My first stop was Windsor Castle. Windsor has been a royal residence for more than 900 years, and the Queen often uses it as her weekend home.
I arrived just in time for the Welsh Guard procession.
By this point, the crowd had gathered to watch — but it still wasn't as busy as the likes of Buckingham Palace. The police wardens on duty were extremely friendly, and I even saw one of them stop to take a photo of a family of tourists.
Then it was time to explore the castle grounds. It usually costs £23.50 ($30) for a day ticket, however, I was given a complimentary press pass.
As I made my way inside the State Apartments, I overheard one tourist say to their friend that the castle was like "an entire village on its own." I couldn't help but agree.
Harry and Markle's Frogmore Cottage home is located within the grounds, but it isn't accessible to the public.
I was, however, able to visit St George's Chapel, where they had their royal wedding in May 2018. It was even more magnificent in person.
After that, it was time for a spot of lunch — and where better to go than a pub named after Prince Harry?
One look at the menu, and I already knew what item was calling to me: The Prince Harry beef burger. (Yes, it was really called that).
It wasn't long before a flurry of blonde Americans wandered in and playfully asked the bartender if "you're gonna have to re-name this place soon?" A polite laugh and a shake of the head was their answer.
As I walked off my lunch, it seemed that the further away from the castle I got, the more this could just seem like any regular English town.
Despite the tourists at the castle, the surrounding streets were mostly empty. Keep in mind, I was visiting on a weekday — but still, I was shocked at the contrast I felt after being so used to busy London.
There were plenty of well-known chain restaurants, including Nando's and McDonald's, to choose from.
But for those paying close attention, there are traces of the royal family everywhere you go. I found this pamphlet from Princess Margaret's 1960 royal wedding in an antique book store.
Just a 20-minute walk from the castle was Eton College, the $53,000-a-year boarding school attended by Prince Harry and Prince William.
I couldn't help but wonder whether Archie would have ended up at this school, had Harry and Markle decided to remain in Windsor full-time.
I understand why a town that's so deeply rooted in royal history wouldn't be the best place for Harry and Markle as they depart from their senior roles ...
... however, I do think that Windsor, with its peaceful streets and friendly residents, would make the perfect home for those looking to escape the spotlight.
After spending an entire day in Windsor, I understand why the Queen uses it as her weekend base.It's secluded from the hustle and bustle that Her Majesty experiences in London — and yet its residents and visitors have the same appreciation for the royal family's history that you often see reserved for Buckingham Palace.Harry and Markle made an excellent decision when they made this their home base in the UK.Both the people who live here and those who travel from across the world to visit clearly adore the couple. Not to mention, it must hold special memories from the Duke of Sussex's school days. While they enjoy spending time in Canada, I only hope that Harry and Markle are one day ready to return to this place. I have no doubt that when the day comes, Windsor will be ready to welcome them back with open arms.Read more:How the royal family will change now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are giving up their titlesThis is how much it costs to get the same education as the royal familyThe Queen made a rare personal statement where she confirmed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be spending time in Canada

5 Top Cybersecurity Stocks To Watch In The Stock Market Today
Could These Be The Best Cybersecurity Stocks To Have On Your Watchlist Now?
With investors turning back towards the tech industry, cybersecurity stocks continue to flourish. After all, this segment of the stock market today is home to companies whose services grow increasingly important by the day. Namely, this appears to be the case as cyber threats grow in terms of scale and frequency across the board now. On top of critical infrastructure and food production systems, hackers continue to ravage the private industry as well. Earlier this month, Florida-based IT firm Kaseya was hit by a ransomware attack by the REvil hacker group. Through Kaseya’s system, the group hit hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises across several countries, demanding a ransom of $70 million.
Given all of this, it would make sense that governments and organizations alike would be looking to bolster their cybersecurity measures now. Accordingly, Singapore is planning to invest $50 million towards advancing research in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). With all these factors in play, hot names in the cybersecurity space could have more room to run. Evidently, companies such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and NortonLifeLock (NASDAQ: NLOK) are already looking at gains of over 30% year-to-date. By and large, we could be looking at busy times ahead for the cybersecurity industry. As such, I could see investors looking for the best cybersecurity stocks to invest in now. Should you be one of them, here are five names trending in the stock market this week.
Top Cybersecurity Stocks To Watch In July 2021

Palantir Foundry will support the FAA’s aircraft certification and continued operational safety activities. I’m not sure about you, but it appears to me that the company could achieve its goal of becoming the default operating system of the U.S. government. Furthermore, this reputation could make it a solid choice for large enterprise customers as well in the long run. With all that being said, will you watch PLTR stock?

Zscaler Inc.
Last but not least, we will be taking a look at Zscaler Inc. In short, the California-based company specializes in cloud-based cybersecurity. Through its services, Zscaler primarily protects its customers’ data assets. For the most part, the company has and continues to do so via its Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange (ZTE) services. On top of that, the company also boasts a massive network of over 150 data centers strategically located across 185 countries. By integrating its ZTE and global network, Zscaler reportedly runs the world’s largest in-line cloud security platform.
More importantly, ZS stock is currently looking at gains of over 439% since its pandemic era low. This would indicate the uptick in demand for its services since then. With the company’s shares trading at $224.51 a stock as of Wednesday’s closing bell, could it be worth buying now? If anything, analysts from Mizuho (NYSE: MFG) and Needham & Company seem to believe so. Just this week, both firms hit ZS stock with a buy rating. Mizuho raised its price target to $250 a share citing “very favorable” demand trends fueling the company. Not to mention, Zscaler also recently expanded its existing partnership with ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW). Overall, it seems like Zscaler is firing on all cylinders now. Could this make ZS stock a top watch for you?

Dorothy Davis Locanthi
Dorothy Nell Davis Locanthi (April 19, 1913 – September 27, 1999) was an American astronomer.
Early life
Dorothy Nell Davis Locanthi (née Davis) was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, the daughter of Gordon Z. Davis and Nellie Thoma Davis. She was an athletic teen; her height (over six feet) was an advantage in her field event, the standing broad jump.
She graduated from high school at age 15. She attended Vassar College, where she majored in physics and took astronomy courses from Caroline Furness and Maud Makemson. She graduated from Vassar in 1933. Locanthi taught at Mills College in Oakland for a year, accessing Lick Observatory and the University of California, and earned a master's degree. Her master’s thesis was on S-Type long period variables. She pursued doctoral studies at the University of California and worked with C. Donald Shane there. She was awarded a Lick Observatory Fellowship in 1936, and completed her dissertation on the spectrum of the red supergiant star Antares in 1937.
Career
After gaining her Ph.D. at age 24, Davis taught briefly at Smith College and at Vassar College. She did further work on stellar spectra at Mount Wilson Observatory on an AAUW Postdoctoral Fellowship. She worked as a researcher at Princeton University in 1940, assisting Henry Norris Russell to study ionized europium. In her last year at Princeton, 1942, Davis’s mother broke her ankle and Davis went home to St. Louis to help her. East St. Louis High School did not have anyone to teach physics because the former physics teacher had left to do work for the war, so she ended up teaching physics there for a period. Henry Russel visited Davis and her mother at her mother’s home in St. Louis to encourage Davis to come back to Princeton as soon as possible so she could continue her astronomy work there. She attended the International Astronomical Union meeting in Stockholm in 1938.
During World War II, she was involved in a rocket project at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and at Ray Control Company in Pasadena. After the war, Davis worked at Beckman Laboratory in Pasadena, while her husband completed his education at Caltech. In 1950 she worked with astronomer Franklin E. Roach of the Naval Ordnance Test Station in Inyokern, California.
She returned to astronomy in 1962, working with Jesse L. Greenstein at Caltech on spectrometry projects until 1969. In 1972, she started working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She was a life member of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. She retired in 1985.

Ange Hardy
Ange Hardy (born December 1983) is an English singer, songwriter and recording artist.
Ange Hardy performs original contemporary songs with an emphasis on vocal harmony. Her debut album Windmills and Wishes was released in 2010, and her second album, Bare Foot Folk, in 2013. Her third album The Lament of The Black Sheep was released on 13 September 2014, with pre-release copies shipped in May 2014. All three have been released by the Story Records label. Although Windmills and Wishes was her debut studio album, Bare Foot Folk is often referred to as her debut album, as it was widely publicised as being her "debut folk album", following her decision to adhere more strictly to a defined genre.
History
In 2010, Hardy released Windmills and Wishes, an album which failed to gain much traction at the time.
She was an Isambard Nu-Folk Award Finalist 2011 at Bristol Folk Festival.
In 2013, Hardy released Bare Foot Folk, a 14-track album of original acoustic folk songs. This second offering was received with critical acclaim. On 11 May 2013, Hardy was the special guest on BBC Somerset's Somerset Lives show, and Bare Foot Folk was BBC Somerset's album of the week for the duration of the following week.
On 8 January 2014, Hardy was awarded '2013 Female Vocalist of the Year' by FATEA Magazine, where she was one of three nominees alongside Lucy Ward and Emily Barker. In January 2014, Hardy was also a New Folk Competition Finalist at Warwick Folk Festival.
Subsequently, her follow-up album The Lament of The Black Sheep was made "Album of the Week" on BBC Scotland's the Iain Anderson Show. It was also awarded "Album of the Month" by FolkWords in June 2014. On 9 January 2014, Hardy won the FATEA '2014 Album of The Year' for The Lament of The Black Sheep, where she was nominated alongside Nancy Kerr and Sam Amidon.
The Lament of The Black Sheep was awarded 5 stars by The Daily Telegraph.
Hardy was nominated for the Horizon Award at the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Her 2016 album, Findings, with Lukas Drinkwater was launched live of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe.
Her sixth studio album Bring Back Home, was released on 28 November 2017.
Live performances
A notable aspect of Hardy's live performance is that she uses a loop machine for layering vocal harmonies live on stage. Traditionally such pedals are used for looping instrumental backing tracks rather than being used for vocal harmony.
She has performed at wide range of festivals including Sark Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Sidmouth Folk Festival, The Festival at the Edge, The Great Big Almonry Folk Festival, Bath Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, Home Farm Festival, Stogumber Festival, Folk on the Farm, Crowcombe Festival, Dunster Music Festival, Barry Folk Festival, Priston Festival and Dunster by Candlelight.
During her Bare Foot Folk tour, Hardy performed at The Regal Theatre in Minehead, The Merlin Theatre in Frome, and The Glastonbury Assembly Rooms as well as a large number of smaller venues.
Hardy occasionally performs live with The Bare Foot Band.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In 2015, Hardy was awarded funding from Arts Council England, to write original folk songs based on the life and work of the romantic poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. That body of work was released as her third album Esteesee.
Personal life
Hardy has two children and lives with her husband Rob in Somerset, England. Her songs often contain biographical information. At the age of 14, Hardy ran away from a children's home in Taunton and hitchhiked to Ireland where she spent four months living homeless on the streets, before eventually returning home to the West Country.

New-line search & replace in OpenOffice.org Writer -- the lazy way
I've been editing the Philippine Star Trek fans' section of the New Worlds Alliance site for a few months now, and the contributors have been submitting their articles embedded in the email message. I actually prefer that to an attached file, because I can read the article right away, without having to open another application. When I'm ready to edit, I ask GMail to create a Google document out of it. Trouble is, the resulting file has hard new-line characters after every line, and a double new-line between paragraphs. I could cursor to the end of each line, delete it, and type in a space, but my inner sloth told me there had to be a better way.
I remembered this when I read Optimise OpenOffice.org by Sukrit Dhandania in Linux User & Developer. An anonymous user left a comment claiming that he had opened 10 tickets regarding basic new-line search-and-replace.
i have opened 10 tickets with open office so far since it was star office and it cannot do basic new line search and replace. 10 times my ticket was closed in 10 years telling me its not important feature that needs attention.
Then I remembered OpenOffice.org Writer's Regular expressions option in the search dialog:
OpenOffice.org Writer's search-and-replace
Now that looked promising.
To help you see regular expressions at work, I created the Google document below from a GMail message:
Original text as imported from Google Docs
More precisely, I copied the text from Google Docs, then pasted it into a new OOo Writer document. If I had simply downloaded the file then opened it in Writer, it would've retained its Google Docs formatting, and I preferred to use my own, based on my style sheet. But that's me -- you can always just download the file and edit it directly.
First thing to do is look for the double occurrences of the line feed (or new line, or spaces, if you prefer) that separate paragraphs, then change those to a sequence of characters that couldn't possibly appear in the text. For this particular document, I chose "NewParagraphPlaceHolder":
Search for double occurrences of LF
The regular expression for a line feed is \n. I did this first instead of the single line breaks between lines within a paragraph. I´ll explain this after the next step. In the meantime, here's what the document will look like:
Document after replacing double LFs with a placeholder
Next, search for the single occurrence of the line feed, and replace with a space:
That's a space in the "Replace with" box
If I had done this step before the search-and-replace on the double line feed, the entire document would run into one large paragraph. Try this yourself if you're not convinced. Incidentally, that's a space in the "Replace with" box. Here's a screen shot of the document after that search-and-replace:
Doc still runs into one large paragraph but with dummy LFs
Now I've let Writer's word wrap take care of putting in line feeds. Finally, I replace the end-of-paragraph character with the real end-of-paragraph, a line feed:
Replace the placeholder with a real LF
And my document's happy:
After replacing the placeholder with a real LF
Incidentally, you may notice that my single \n still created two line feeds between paragraphs. That's because of my default style sheet, which automagically inserts an extra line after a paragraph.
Even DOS-based word processors had keyboard macros. Surely, a 21st century software application can accommodate the lazy?
And I take this laziness one step further. I do this often enough that all those keystrokes -- especially the "NewParagraphPlaceHolder" string -- get to be a drag. Even DOS-based word processors had keyboard macros. Surely, a 21st century software application can accommodate the lazy? Sure enough:
OO Writer's macro facility
Before you go and record the macro, however, two things:
1. Do you prefer to have Regular expressions switched on by default? If so, you're good to go.
2. Otherwise, before you start recording the macro, switch Regular expresions off. Once you start recording, when you do the first Search-and-replace, enable Regular expressions. Finally, just before you stop recording, disable Regular expressions.
OO Writer's recording your keystrokes
So, you're now recording the macro. Just do the Search-and-replace steps above, then stop recording when you're done. You'll then get the dialog box below:
Save your macro
The default Macro name is Main1 -- I've changed that to CleanupText, so I remember what it does. Another good name would be Text2Wrap or something similar.
Running the macro
Finally, from the Tools menu, bring up the Macros dialog box, and select Run, then navigate to the CleanupText macro, and you're rewarded for all that hard work.
Wait, hard work??

Book XI from Pondicberry, the troops continued abroad with the same regularity as before, under his command. The pardon arrived, and the money was paid on the 21st in the morning, and the whole body, excepting 30 who had deserted, marched back under the command of their former officers to Vandiwash, where before evening the whole camp was enlivened with dances and jollity, as if after some signal success. Mr. Bussy, on the first intelligence of the revolt, resolved to proceed no farther, until he saw the event. The discontent caught the troops he had taken with him, and he was obliged to appease them by a month's pay, and then to wait, until the money to make up the six months, as to the rest of the army, was remitted from Vandiwash; and before he resumed his march, several incidents had happened, which necessitated him to change the state of his detachment, and the rout he intended to take.
As soon as the English army, returning from their unsuccessful attempt at Vandiwah, arrived at Conjeveram, 200 Europeans, with two field-pieces, 200 black horse, and 500 Sepoys, were detached under the command of Captain More, towards the encampment of Bassaulut Jung at Sidaporum; they were to be joined in the way by the six companies of Sepoys at Tripetti, by 1000 belonging to Nazeabullah at Nelore, and by the Europeans in both these places, who were about 70. This force was intended to follow and harrass Bassaulut Jung's army, if they should march round to meet and join Mr. Bussy; but it was the 15th of October before they reached Kalastri, where the troops from Tripetti arrived the same day, but those from Nelore had not yet advanced. The two Polygars, Bangar Yatcham and Damerla Venkatypettah, terrified by the cavalry of Bassaulut Jung at their borders, and doubtful of the distant protection of the English troops, temporized, and according to his summons went to his camp, accompanied by Sampetrow. This man, who has been formerly mentioned, came into the province with the Nabob Anwarodean Khan, and had served as his Duan, or prime-minister, until his death; after which, he was sometimes consulted and employed, but never trusted, by Mahomedally, and | WIKI |

In the extreme case, it is possible to grant the admin user the right to execute all commands on the controller, by adding a file to the /etc/sudoers.d directory containing the following line:
admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Note that it is not recommended to edit or delete any file that is installed with the firmware.
root user
In some cases it may be required to switch to the root user. In this case, a root user password must first be set, using the following command:
admin@axcf2152:~$ sudo passwd root
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Password: *Enter admin user password*
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New password: *Enter root user password*
Re-enter new password: *Confirm password*
You can now switch to the root user using the command su root, or simply su.
Creating an ssh session as root
In some cases, it may be required to connect directly to the controller as root, using ssh or its associated utilities (scp, sftp, etc).
In order to open an ssh session on the controller as root, the ssh daemon must be configured to accept logins from that user. To do this, log in to the controller as admin, switch to the root user using the su command, and edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file using your favourite editor.
The controller includes vi (vim) and nano text editors. There are many online resources available if you need to learn how to use one these editors.
In the sshd_config file, remove the comment symbol # from this line:
#PermitRootLogin yes
Save the file, exit from the editor, and restart the ssh daemon:
root@axcf2152:~# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Logging in without a password
For activities that require frequent login to a PLCnext Control device, e.g. during application development and testing, it can become tedious to repeatedly enter the same password. It is possible to use key-based SSH authentication to eliminate this chore, without compromising security.
The following article from a Phoenix Contact technical support site describes how to implement this standard Linux feature for the admin user on a PLCnext Control device:

Description
A new exponentiality test was developed by modifying the Lilliefors test of exponentiality for the purpose of improving the power of the test it directly modified. Lilliefors has considered the maximum absolute differences between the sample empirical distribution function (EDF) and the exponential cumulative distribution function (CDF). The proposed test considered the sum of all the absolute differences between the CDF and EDF. By considering the sum of all the absolute differences rather than only a point difference of each observation, the proposed test would expect to be less affected by individual extreme (too low or too high) observations and capable of detecting smaller, but consistent, differences between the distributions. The proposed test statistic is not only easy to understand but also very simple and easy to compute. The proposed test was compared directly to the Lilliefors test (LF-test), the Cramer-Von Mises test (CVM-test), Finkelstein & Schafers test (S-test) and the ̃n test (D-test). The critical values were developed and the accuracy of the intended significance levels was verified for the proposed test. The results showed that all five tests of exponentiality worked very well in terms of controlling the intended significance levels. The proposed test performed very closely to the other four tests of exponentiality in terms of the accuracy of the intended significance levels across all considered sample sizes. The proposed exponentiality test (PML-test) did successfully improve upon the power of the test it directly modified (i.e. LF-test). The actual method employed in the development of the test statistic in this study, achieved its primary goal of improving the power of the LF-test of exponentiality. This study showed that the proposed exponentiality test (PML-test) demonstrated consistently superior power over the S-test, LF-test, CVM-test, and D-test for most of the alternative distributions presented in this study. The D-test, CVM-test, and S-test exhibited similar power for a fixed sample size and significance level. The LF-test consistently showed the lowest power among five exponentiality tests. So, practically speaking the proposed test can hope to replace the other four exponentiality tests discussed throughout this study while maintaining a very simple form for computation and easy to understand for those people who have limited knowledge of statistics. This study has shown that using the sum of all the absolute differences between the two functions (CDF and EDF) will have more power than just using the maximum differences between these two functions (like LF-test) or using the sum of squared differences between these two functions (like Cramer-Von Mises type test). The research presented here has the potential to modify many other tests and / or to develop tests for distributional assumption.

LLM Observability: Eye On LLMs In Production
Dr. Jagreet Kaur Gill | 18 October 2023
Top LLM Observability Tools
The Necessity of Observability in LLM
In today's digitally connected world, Large Language Models (LLMs) have carved a niche for themselves by excelling in tasks such as text generation, language translation, and the creation of diverse forms of creative content. Despite their versatility and power, the complex nature of these models makes them challenging to manage and understand. This is where the critical role of observability for Large Language Models comes into play.
• Ensuring Reliability and Accuracy
One of the primary reasons for the rising importance of LLM observability is its capacity to bolster the model's reliability and accuracy. Real-time performance monitoring allows for the early detection of operational hitches or inaccuracies, making it possible to rectify issues before they escalate into larger problems affecting end-users.
• Enhancing Performance Metrics
Beyond just troubleshooting, observability grants an understanding of the model's operational nuances. This deeper comprehension can lead to identifying methods for improving not just its accuracy, but also its efficiency and scalability. In essence, observability acts as the diagnostic tool for fine-tuning Large Language Models, thereby enabling enhanced performance.
• Risk Mitigation
The third pillar that underlines the necessity for observability is risk management. LLMs are potent but they are not without their hazards. Whether it’s in generating text or other functions, the ability to pre-emptively identify and inhibit the production of harmful or inappropriate content is vital. Observability equips organizations with the tools to do just that, making it an indispensable aspect of responsible LLM deployment and management.
What is Observability?
Observability in the context of LLMs refers to the systematic practice of scrutinizing and comprehending the intricacies of a model's performance and behaviour. This scrutiny involves gathering critical information about various facets of the model, such as its input mechanisms, output results, and even its inner workings. The insights derived from this data can then be used for troubleshooting and performance optimization.
By collecting data from the three pillars (Metrics, Logs, Traces), you can gain a comprehensive understanding of the model's behaviour. This information can be used to identify problems, such as:
• The model is generating incorrect or misleading output.
• The model is taking too long to generate output.
• The model is crashing or producing errors.
Observability can also be used to improve the performance of LLMs. By understanding how the model works, you can identify ways to improve its accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. Key aspects of LLM Observability
Performance Tracking
The bedrock of LLM Observability lies in consistent performance tracking. This process gathers pivotal metrics around the LLM's functionality—how accurate are its predictions, what is the response time, and what kind of errors are observed? These metrics not only highlight issues like biases but also pave the way for rectifications.
Different techniques can be employed for performance tracking. Metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall remain popular choices. While accuracy gauges the proportion of correct predictions, precision evaluates the relevance of these predictions. Recall, on the other hand, quantifies how many relevant results are captured by the model.
Logging is another method for performance tracking. It provides an in-depth log of model behaviour, including inputs, outputs, errors, and other anomalies. This granular information is instrumental in diagnosing issues with the LLM.
In-Depth Comprehension
Beyond tracking, gaining a deep understanding of LLMs is paramount. This entails scrutinizing the training data, elucidating the decision-making algorithms, and recognizing any limitations. Acquiring this knowledge makes it easier to pinpoint and rectify model-related issues.
Understanding the distribution of training data is vital, as biases in the data can translate into model biases. Similarly, an analysis of the decision-making mechanics helps identify possible biases or inaccuracies within the model.
Lastly, recognizing LLM limitations is invaluable. While these models are advanced, they are not infallible. They can exhibit biases, generate errors, and are susceptible to specific input anomalies.
Accuracy Optimization
A principal objective of LLM Observability is to enhance model accuracy, which involves identifying and mitigating biases and errors.
Bias detection is one prevalent technique to maintain accuracy. This methodology uncovers systematic biases within the model's predictive outcomes. For instance, if a particular demographic is favoured by the model's predictions, it points to a bias.
Error detection is another robust technique to safeguard accuracy. This approach flags any inaccuracies in the model's output, like incorrect categorizations. Once identified, biases and errors can be corrected through various measures like retraining the model on diverse datasets or fine-tuning model parameters.
Reliability Assurance
Ensuring LLM reliability is another cornerstone of Observability. The goal is to verify that the models are robust and can adapt to a wide array of input scenarios.
Stress testing is a popular method for ascertaining reliability. It pushes the model to its limits by presenting a broad spectrum of inputs, especially those designed to challenge the model. A reliable model will navigate these scenarios without crashing or generating false outputs.
Fault tolerance is another strategy to buttress reliability. This design principle allows the model to continue functioning smoothly even when certain components face failures. For example, a resilient model should still yield accurate predictions if one of its layers malfunctions.
By meticulously tracking performance, enhancing understanding, optimizing accuracy, and assuring reliability, LLM Observability aims to make LLMs more dependable and trustworthy.
observability-and-monitoring-icon
Observability is the extent to which you can understand the internal state or condition of a complex system based only on knowledge of its external outputs.
Techniques for monitoring LLM
Activity Logging
Activity logging offers a systematic approach to capture critical data that sheds light on a model's functioning. It allows for real-time debugging and diagnostics.
When monitoring LLMs, it's essential to focus on pivotal events. These could include the model's input and output data, error occurrences, or any unusual behaviour. Such information aids in isolating any complications like model biases or errors.
What to log:
• Input and output data
• Response time latency
• Error count
• Any deviations from expected behaviour
Performance Indicators
Performance indicators or KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) offer numerical evaluations that provide insights into an LLM's effectiveness. Key metrics often used for assessing LLMs are accuracy, precision, and recall. These metrics allow you to gauge how well the model is performing, facilitating targeted improvements.
For instance, a declining accuracy rate over a period could signal a growing bias within the model, demanding immediate action.
Detecting Anomalies
Anomaly detection serves as a robust tool for recognizing aberrations or outliers in model behaviour, which could be indicative of biases or functional issues.
The methodology behind anomaly detection is the identification of data patterns that deviate substantially from the norm. Such outlier data is tagged as anomalous.
For instance, a sudden surge in the error rate could represent an anomaly and might imply that the model is malfunctioning or developing biases. Various techniques like statistical models or machine learning algorithms can be deployed for anomaly detection.
Decision Interpretability
Understanding the rationale behind a model's decisions is crucial, and explainability methods serve this purpose. These techniques can uncover biases in decision-making and help in fine-tuning the model for greater accuracy.
These methods offer a window into a model’s reasoning pathway, either by tracking the computational steps it undergoes or by providing natural language explanations for its choices.
For example, if an LLM is tasked with predicting someone’s gender, explainability methods can reveal the rationale behind the decision. This can help identify and rectify any existing biases.
Decision interpretability techniques can thus significantly contribute to enhancing a model’s accuracy by identifying and rectifying biases.
Tools for LLM Observability
At this point of time, there are multiple tools that one can use for LLM Observability.
Some of them are
Arize
This is one of the most popular LLM Observability tool out there. They allow you to monitor the LLM model’s prompts plus response embeddings performance.
They also allow to automatically group data points that are similar (semantically) and sort them based on performance.
WhyLabs
This is also one of the major players when it comes to observability of the ML models. This platform provides quite a straightforward presentation of result, outlier detection, histograms, data drift monitoring and missing feature values.
MLFlow
It is an open-source platform that one can use to manage the lifecycle of a ML model.
They have four components:
• MLflow Tracking
• MLflow Projects
• MLflow Models
• Model Registry
A neural network is a method in artificial intelligence that teaches computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain.
Challenges of LLM Observability
Intricacy of LLM Architectures
Large Language Models (LLMs) are inherently intricate, composed of multiple layers of interconnected neurons. Deciphering the interaction between these layers can pose significant challenges for observability, rendering monitoring a complex task.
Absence of Universal Performance Indicators
When it comes to LLM Observability, there's a glaring absence of universally accepted metrics. Organizations often employ varying measures such as accuracy, precision, or recall, making it strenuous to conduct comparative analyses or establish industry best practices.
Data-Intensive Nature of LLM
Effective observability for LLMs demands substantial data resources. These models require training on extensive datasets to ensure precise predictive capabilities. Organizations with limited access to large datasets may find this a daunting hurdle to overcome.
Requirement for Specialized Skills
The intricate nature of LLMs necessitates specialized expertise in Machine Iearning and Artificial Intelligence. This skill gap can be a significant obstacle for organizations lacking the resources to onboard experts in the field.
Additional Considerations for LLM Observability
• Financial Investment: Implementing LLM Observability often necessitates considerable investment in specialized tools and resources.
• Time Constraints: The practice is time-intensive, involving the collation and scrutiny of large volumes of data.
• Regulatory Compliance: Organizations may also need to navigate legal frameworks that govern the usage of LLMs, adding an extra layer of complexity to observability efforts.
Java vs Kotlin
A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and massively large data sets to understand, summarize, generate and predict new content.
Best practices for LLM Observability
Clarify the Purpose and Targets of Your Large Language Model
The foundational step in enhancing LLM observability is crystal-clear comprehension of what the model aims to achieve. Grasping these objectives equips you with insights into which performance indicators should be at the forefront of your monitoring efforts. For instance, if your LLM is designed for
text generation, you might focus on scrutinizing the quality, fluency, and range of the generated text.
Pinpoint Crucial Performance Indicators for Your LLM
Armed with a nuanced understanding of your LLM’s mission and goals, you can zero in on vital metrics to track. Such metrics serve as barometers for the model’s efficiency and can alert you to emerging issues. Commonly employed metrics in the Large Language Model landscape encompass elements like accuracy, precision, recall, and ethical fairness.
Adopt Context-Specific Monitoring Solutions
The realm of LLMs offers a diverse toolkit of monitoring methodologies, ranging from log capturing and metrics tracking to anomaly spotting and explicability features. The most suitable method varies depending on your specific LLM type and its application context.
Gather and Dissect LLM-Generated Data
After setting up tailored monitoring mechanisms, the next move is to amass and interpret the data emanating from your LLM. Data analytics can help pinpoint inefficiencies or areas of improvement, facilitating proactive troubleshooting.
Detect Faults or Inconsistencies in LLM Performance
By meticulously examining the harvested data, you can spotlight any operational hitches or inconsistencies that plague your Large Language Model. Such discrepancies may arise from numerous factors, including but not limited to, data biases, mis calibrated settings, or even hardware malfunctions.
Implement Corrective Actions for Identified Issues
Upon unearthing any performance hiccups, the next course of action involves remedial steps to rectify these challenges. Remediation might entail recalibrating the model, tweaking algorithmic parameters, or hardware-related troubleshooting.
Engage in Ongoing LLM Supervision and Refinement
Given the dynamic nature of LLMs, constant vigilance and real-time adjustments are pivotal for sustaining optimal performance. By continuously updating your monitoring strategy and making timely interventions, you bolster the reliability and credibility of your LLMs.
By adhering to these optimized strategies for LLM observability, you not only enhance performance but also contribute to building trustworthy and reliable Large Language Models.
Conclusion
One of the most important aspects of LLM observability is the ability to monitor, understand, and validate LLMs. By doing so, organizations can reduce the risks associated with the use of these powerful AI models. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Where is Insulin Injected?
Insulin must be injected into the subcutaneous tissue, which is the layer of fat just below the skin's surface.
The most common sites for subcutaneous injections are the abdomen, the thigh, the upper arm, and the buttock. However, each injection site has its advantages and drawbacks (see comparison below), so diabetic patients must choose according to their preferences and doctor's advice.
People with diabetes receiving insulin therapy can make up to 10 insulin shots daily! Therefore, rotating insulin injection sites is essential to avoid tissue damage and ensure consistent insulin absorption.

Why is insulin injected subcutaneously?
Subcutaneous injections allow for the insulin to be absorbed slowly and steadily. When insulin is injected into the subcutaneous fat tissue, it forms a depot or a pool of insulin that is gradually released into the bloodstream. This slow and steady absorption is essential for controlling blood sugars, as it mimics the body's natural insulin release from the pancreas.
If insulin were injected into the bloodstream (intravenously), it would be immediately absorbed, causing blood glucose levels to drop quickly and then rise again once all the insulin is consumed.
Besides, the subcutaneous fat tissue is a good site for insulin injection because it is relatively painless and easy to access. In addition, it is mostly free of large blood vessels and nerves, reducing injection pain and complication risks.

Insulin Injection Sites Comparison
As mentioned above, there are 4 recommended injection sites for insulin: the abdomen, the thigh, the upper arm, and the buttocks.
Remember that within these areas, insulin should be injected into fat tissues. Hitting a muscle, blood vessel, or nerve can cause pain during and after the injection. Never inject near joints, wounds, or scars.
Talk to your doctor or diabetes nurse about the best insulin injection sites for your individual needs to ensure safe and effective insulin delivery. Meanwhile, let’s explore the pros and cons of each injection site!

Best insulin injection sites
Abdomen
The abdomen is the most common insulin injection site and the one that most patients prefer.
Advantages of injecting insulin into the abdomen:
• The abdomen is the most accessible site for insulin self-injection.
• It provides the fastest insulin absorption.
• The area is relatively free of large blood vessels and nerves, which can reduce the risk of complications.
• You can inject into different areas of the abdomen, which can reduce the risk of lipohypertrophy and other injection site complications.
Possible drawbacks of injecting insulin into the abdomen:
• If you inject too close to the navel, it can interfere with insulin absorption or be more painful.
• If you have a lot of abdominal fat, it can be difficult to pinch up a fold of skin to inject into.
• It may not be the best insulin injection site for you if you have an abdominal scar or surgery.
• Not easy to access in public when you’re wearing tight clothing.

Upper Outer Thigh
The thigh is another efficient and convenient site to inject insulin. When injecting insulin in the thigh, one must aim at the upper and outer sides.
Advantages of thigh insulin injections:
• The thigh is a convenient site for injection because it's easily accessible, especially for people who have difficulty reaching their abdomen or upper arm.
• The ideal and discreet injection site for people wearing skirts!
• The thigh is a good insulin injection site for children afraid of abdominal injections.
Drawbacks of thigh insulin injections:
• There are more nerves in the thigh than in the abdomen, which can increase the risk of hitting a nerve during the injection and feeling more pain.
• There are more blood vessels too, increasing the risk of bleeding or bruising when injected insulin.
• Insulin absorption is slower than when injected in the abdomen.
• Not discreetly or easily accessible when wearing pants.

Upper arm
The upper arm is also a common insulin injection site, although it may be more challenging to access and provides a slower insulin absorption.
Advantages of injecting insulin into the upper arm:
• The upper arm is a more discreet option than the abdomen or thigh, especially if you’re wearing short sleeves.
• It’s a good insulin injection site for parents, family members, nurses, schoolteachers, etc.
Drawbacks of injecting insulin into the upper arm:
• The insulin absorption may be slower than in the abdomen, which can be better for basal insulin shots but less efficient for bolus mealtime insulin.
• It’s not easily accessible for self-injection.
• The upper arm is a more muscular area, increasing the risk of hitting a muscle, a nerve, or a blood vessel with the needle.

Buttocks
You can also inject insulin into the buttocks. However, it's not as common as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. This site is quite difficult to reach, particularly for people with mobility issues who have difficulty turning or twisting.
The buttocks also have a thicker layer of fat than other injection sites, which can affect the absorption rate of insulin.
The buttocks are the perfect insulin injection site for people with a phobia of needles, as they won't see anything if a family member, a nurse, or a friend performs the injection.

So, what’s the best place to inject insulin?
As mentioned above, the best insulin injection site varies for everyone and depends on several factors, including:
• Age: Children and elderly individuals may have different injection site preferences and requirements than young adults.
• Insulin dose: Larger insulin doses may require larger injection sites, such as the abdomen, whereas smaller amounts may be suitable for smaller injection sites, such as the thigh or upper arm.
• Body mass index (BMI): People with a higher BMI may be recommended different insulin injection sites due to subcutaneous fat thickness.
• Injection frequency: The frequency of insulin injections can also influence the choice of the injection site. For example, someone with type 1 diabetes needing multiple shots daily should rotate injection sites more often to prevent lipohypertrophy and improve insulin absorption.
• Individual preference: Some individuals may prefer a particular injection site based on factors such as comfort, accessibility, and discretion.
• Physical ability: You may also have physical limitations that make specific injection sites, such as the abdomen or upper arm, more challenging to access.
• Insulin type: Different types of insulin have different absorption rates. For example, rapid-acting bolus insulin is best injected into the abdomen for faster absorption, whereas long-acting basal insulin is suitable for injection into the thigh or upper arm.
• Other factors can influence your insulin injection site, including the clothes you wear, the presence of scars, rashes, wounds, or skin irritations.
We strongly recommend you discuss with your healthcare provider about insulin injection sites and follow their recommendations.
Additionally, remember to rotate injection sites regularly to prevent complications.

The Importance of Rotating Injection Sites
Insulin injection site rotation is absolutely essential to avoid complications such as lipohypertrophy, scar tissues, skin issues, or impaired insulin absorption. So, while you probably have a favorite injection spot that you find less painful or more convenient than others, you must let it rest!
Your healthcare provider can provide guidance on how and how often to rotate insulin injection sites. However, it is typically recommended to change the injection site for each injection.
Some diabetes doctors and educators recommend following a specific regular rotation pattern to ensure that each injection site has adequate time to heal before it is used again.
FAQs About Insulin Injection Sites
Where should insulin not be injected?
Insulin must be injected subcutaneously (under the skin into the fat tissue). It should not be injected into the following areas:
• Areas of the skin affected by skin conditions such as rashes, scars, or infections.
• Areas that are bruised or swollen, with lumps or knots.
• Areas with decreased blood flow, such as the fingers or toes.
• Areas with visible veins or arteries.
• Areas of the body with no fatty tissue, such as the muscles or joints.
Where is insulin injection less painful?
When administered correctly, insulin injections are not supposed to be painful. However, some patients complain about discomforts like a burning sensation, for example. The abdomen is generally considered the least painful injection site.

Where is insulin absorbed the fastest?
The rate of insulin absorption depends on the injection site and the type of insulin you’re using. In general, insulin is absorbed the fastest when injected into the abdomen, followed by the upper arm and the thigh.
Areas with a larger layer of subcutaneous fat and a good blood supply, like the abdomen, are known to allow for faster insulin absorption into the bloodstream.

Little Polveir
Little Polveir (1977–1999) was a race horse. He won the 1989 Grand National steeplechase ridden by Jimmy Frost, beating West Tip by seven lengths. The horse had previously finished ninth in 1986 and did not finish in 1987 and 1988 (where he fell at one after Valentine's Brook) while owned by Mike Shone, after which he was sold as a 12-year-old for 15,000gns in February 1989.
The track "Little Polveir" by the Sheffield-based band Monkey Swallows the Universe is named after the horse. After the track was written, the band signed to Loose Records, which coincidentally is owned by Tom Bridgewater, the son-in-law of Toby Balding, Little Polveir's trainer. Little Polveir died in 1999. | WIKI |

Does the 2022 Chevy Colorado Get Better Fuel Economy Than the Chevy Silverado?
One of many reasons someone might want to buy a midsize truck is fuel economy. Although they aren’t typically going to rival smaller SUVs or sedans, they’ll likely be better than full-size truck alternatives. However, trucks come with many different engine choices, which makes things complicated. Does the 2022 Chevy Colorado get better fuel economy than the Chevy Silverado? The two Chevrolet trucks are much closer than you might think.
2022 Chevy Colorado fuel economy
A 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 driving in the dirt. Does it get better fuel economy than the Silverado?
2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 | Chevrolet
According to fueleconomy.gov, the base model 2022 Chevy Colorado with a four-cylinder engine and two-wheel drive averages 19 city and 25 highway mpg. However, the Colorado’s fuel economy changes drastically with its different engines. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, but there are two optional upgrades. First is the 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel, and the other is a 3.6-liter V6 engine. In addition, two versus four-wheel drive changes the fuel economy.
Opting for a four-wheel drive model with the base engine reduces the fuel economy to 19 city and 24 highway mpg, which isn’t much different. Alternatively, the V6 gets 18/25 mpg in 2WD and 17/24 with 4WD. Finally, customers who choose the turbodiesel engine get the best fuel economy of them all. Moreover, a Chevy Colorado 2WD with this engine option averages 20/30 mpg, while the 4WD version gets 19/28 mpg.
2022 Chevy Silverado fuel economy
2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 on dirt. Which of the Chevy trucks gets better fuel economy?
2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2 | Chevrolet
RELATED: 4 Most Frequently Asked Questions About the 2022 Chevy Silverado
We can determine how much worse or better the 2022 Chevy Silverado performs using fueleconomy.gov. Does the full-size truck have far worse fuel economy than its smaller sibling? Silverados are available with four engines, a 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbo, a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel, a 5.3-liter V8, and a 6.2-liter V8. We think it’s safe to assume the two V8 engines won’t compete with the Colorado regarding fuel economy. For example, the 5.3-liter gets 18 city and 20 highway mpg.
However, the 2.7-liter Chevy Silverado averages 19 city and 22 highway mpg with 2WD. Alternatively, the 4WD model drops to 17/20 mpg. As the smallest engine, it’s no surprise it’s competitive with the Colorado’s fuel economy. As an owner, it would be difficult to tell the difference between the two base models, which average 19/24 and 19/22 mpg. However, the full-size truck’s turbodiesel is even better.
Fueleconomy.gov says the 2WD Silverado with a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel gets an average of 23 city and 31 highway mpg. For those keeping score, that’s slightly better than the most fuel-economic Colorado, the 2WD turbodiesel. Changing the Silverado to 4WD drops those numbers down to 22/26 mpg, which is very similar to a 2WD Colorado with the diesel engine, which gets 20/30 mpg.
Does the smaller Chevy truck get better gas mileage?
If you’re in the market for a new Chevy truck and want the best fuel economy, it might be more challenging than you’d expect. Unlike other automakers, Chevy’s midsize truck doesn’t always get better fuel economy than the full-size option. The 2022 Chevy Colorado’s fuel economy beats the Silverado every time by buying standard gasoline engines. However, opting for the diesel setup for the full-size 2022 Chevy Silverado gets you better gas mileage than any other full- or midsize truck from Chevrolet.

EventAccess
Abstract
Testing events can be dificult because c# requires that only the declaring class can invoke the method. I found a way around this problem for both abstract/interfaced and defined events. The trickery can be invoked via an EventAccess object.
Useful Functions
Fire
Fires the event which is accessed. If an event named MyEvent is accessed, then calling Fire() is equivalent to calling MyEvent().
Example
public class Connection
{
public event Action ConnectionLost;
public event Func<int, bool> DataSent;
public bool Connected { get; set; }
public int TotalBytesSent { get; set; }
public Connection()
{
ConnectionLost += () => { Connected = false; };
DataSent += (numBytes) => { TotalBytesSent += numBytes; return false; };
}
}
public class ConnectionTest
{
public void ConnectionLostTest()
{
var conn = ProxyManager.CreateProxy<Connection>();
conn.Connected = true;
var lostEventAccess = ProxyManager.GetEventAction(conn, "ConnectionLost");
lostEventAccess.Fire();
Assert.IsFalse(conn.Connected, "connected");
var dataSentConfig = ProxyManager.GetEventFunc<int, bool>(conn, "DataSent");
dataSentConfig.Fire(20);
Assert.AreEqual(20, conn.TotalBytesSent, "TotalBytesSent");
}

Plants in Central Italy Authors: Balestra, Giorgio M.; Bucini, Danilo; Paparatti, Bruno; Speranza, Stefano; Proietti Zolla, Cristina; Pucci, Claudio; Varvaro, Leonardo Abstract: Hazelnut is one of the most important orchards in central Italy (Viterbo province). More than eighty phytophagous insect pests adversely affect hazelnut orchards, but only a few of these, such as Anisandrus dispar F. (Coleoptera, Scolytidae), induce severe damage. A bacterial disease (called moria) constitutes one of the main phytopathological problems of hazelnut plants in central Italy. Two years ago, the Lazio Regional Government and local hazelnut cooperatives supported a research into the bio-ethology of A. dispar and its possible association with moria disease on hazelnut plants in Viterbo. In 2003 and 2004 two experimental hazelnut areas were selected in the Capranica and Caprarola districts (Viterbo), where eighteen chemio-chromotrophic traps were installed to study the dynamic population of A. dispar and to catch live Scolytidae females. Representative samples of live A. dispar females were used to isolate and identify the bacterial populations present both out- side and inside the insects. After two years 5,726 A. dispar females had been caught. Of more than 1,400 live A. dispar females, 10% were submitted to microbiological ana- lyses by morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques. The populations of the main bacteria (by outside and inside) associated with the phyto- phagous were identified as Erwinia billingae, Brenneria quercina, Pantoea cedenensis and Pseudomonas spp. Studies are currently in progress to: i) clarify the biological cycle of A. dispar; ii) identify the role (direct and/or indirect) of the insect respect to the epidemiology of moria disease; iii) carry on pathogenicity tests on bacterial isolates to prove their involvement in bacteriosis; iv) develop specific primers to identify the presence of these bacteria when associated with the insect and with asymptomatic hazelnut plants; v) verify the influence of environmental parameters on the biology of both the insect and the disease.

Chev) cv. GTH (Late Yellow Hayward) showed high resistance to the pathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Pseudomonas viridiflava, contrary to the pistillate cv. Hayward which was highly susceptible to both bacteria. The resistant staminate GTH acquired susceptibility when transformed with rolABC of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. This susceptibility was inherited by the T1 offspring containing rolABC genes, derived by crossing pollen of transgenic rolABC GTH with the pistillate cv. Hayward. The susceptibility was probably correlated to high nitrogen content in the leaves of the rolABC plants. The higher susceptibility to P. s. pv. syringae than to P. viridiflava could be correlated with the high degree of auxin production by first bacterium. The high resistance to both bacteria of the staminate GTH was inherited by all the offspring lacking rolABC genes. The possibility of reducing susceptibility of rolABC plants to the pathogens by applying fewer fertilizers in the orchards, which would reduce both costs and environmental impact, is discussed.

Egham Town F.C.
Egham Town Football Club is a football club based in Egham, Surrey, England. They are currently members of the and play at the Runnymede Stadium.
History
The club was originally formed as Runnymede Rovers in 1877, before reforming as Egham in 1905. They won the West Surrey League in 1921–22, before becoming founder members of the Surrey Senior League in 1922 and going on to win the league in its first season. In 1927–28 the club finished as league runners-up, and subsequently joined Division One West of the Spartan League. A sixth-placed finish in 1928–29 saw them placed in the Premier Division for the 1929–30 season. After finishing bottom of the division in 1931–32, they were relegated to Division One.
Egham left the Spartan League at the end of the 1932–33 season and returned to the Surrey Senior League. The club closed down during World War II, but was not restored when the war ended. A public meeting on 9 December 1963 led to the club being reformed as Egham Town. They joined the Parthenon League for the 1964–65 season, but rejoined the Surrey Senior League at the end of the season. After two seasons in the league, they moved to the Spartan League in 1967. The club won the Spartan League in 1971–72, before joining Division Two of the Athenian League in 1974. They won Division Two at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division One. The following season saw them finish as Division One runners-up.
In 1977 Egham joined Division Two of the Isthmian League. Restructuring saw them moved to Division One South in 1984, before Division Two was restored in 1991. They were relegated to Division Three at the end of the 1997–98 season and remained there until restructuring saw them placed in Division One South in 2002. The club were transferred to Division One West of the Southern League for the 2004–05 season, but were moved back to Division Two of the Isthmian League the following season. In 2006 the club left the Isthmian League and joined the Premier Division of the Combined Counties League. They were Premier Division champions in 2012–13, earning promotion to Division One Central of the Southern League. A third-place finish in 2015–16 saw them qualify for the promotion play-offs, in which they were beaten 4–2 on penalties in the semi-finals by St Ives Town after a 2–2 draw. The following season saw the club finish fifth, qualifying for the play-offs again and they went on to lose 4–0 to Farnborough in the semi-finals.
At the end of the 2017–18 season, Egham were transferred to the South Central Division of the Isthmian League. They finished bottom of the division in 2018–19 and were relegated to Premier Division of the Combined Counties League. When the league gained an additional division as part of restructuring, the club were placed in the Premier Division North. They were runners-up in the Premier Division North in 2022–23, qualifying for a promotion/relegation play-off against Merstham of the Isthmian League, which Merstham won 3–1.
Ground
The club has played at the Runnymede Stadium since their re-establishment in 1963. The land was previously part of a recreation ground and was offered to the club by the local council. The ground currently has a capacity of 5,500, of which 262 is seated and 3,300 is covered. In May 2021 the Brian Askew stand was destroyed in a fire.

Geodesign Goals
For that reason, Geodesign involves both technical integration and interdisciplinary integration in order to:
* Provide a global perspective of the consequence to designs of all scales, from single buildings, to landscape planning, to transportation networks, to national policy frameworks.
* Provide information and analysis to feedback the environmental, social, and economic costs of local decisions.
* Express our connection to distant populations, to other species, and our cost on global resources.
* Integrate concerns across the separate disciplines--architecture, zoning, ecology, finance, policy, and law -- in a transactional process that allows them to evolve rapidly together.
* Integrate social networks, crowd-sourcing, and collaborative technology and practice so that scientific thinking and technical fact influence both design and human behavior.
* Connect citizens to their government, influence technology and public policy, and create a purposeful process of designing the future rather than simply reacting to it.
* Evolve a visual language of storytelling that will touch people’s hearts and minds and make transformation a reality.
Geodesign Principles
The Geodesign methodology looks to address the change model of collaboration to provide early feedback and substantive communication. Towards that end, Geodesign principles include the following.
* Use a Pareto principle of transparency to communicate the consequences and models for key design constraints – such as energy, trapped carbon, and transportation costs – to other scales of design and other disciplines early in the design and feedback process.
* Concentrate not on simply extending existing GIS, BIM, or Web technologies and standards, but on the handoff of meaningful wisdom and rules of thumb between them. For instance, the dialog between a BIM model and the landscape may most meaningfully involve zoning criteria, traffic load, or energy produced by the building’s solar plant rather than purely spatial or graphic criteria.
* Drive static map and design technology from isolated islands of automation to collaborative social environments that invite public design, deepen collaboration, and evolve public policy to keep pace with the technology and challenges.
* Assemble social networks of those concerned with conservation, energy reduction, and sustainable design as these can often work faster as proactive communities of interest than government can as a reactive force.
* Rapidly improve computing, networks, software, and interfaces to take them from the isolated realm of design or technology specialists to powerful tools to improve the level of effectiveness of all in the community.
* Use a service-oriented approach in the most communal sense; that is, think first of what information, analysis, or service your discipline can offer to make others more effective in their own efforts, rather than thinking first of what capabilities or authority your own discipline wishes to co opt. | WIKI |
Measurement Tab
Qosium offers a wide selection of parameters for configuring how measurements are performed. In Qosium Scope, these parameters are configured in the measurement tab.
1. Overview #
This tab consists of the following settings groups. Detailed information on each group can be found in the following sections.
• Packet Capture Settings
• Measurement Settings
• Control Connection Settings - Visible when advanced settings are enabled
2. Packet Capture Settings #
This group contains settings on how packets are captured and identified.
2.1. Packet Filter Mode #
Packet filter mode determines how packets are filtered. In other words, packets that meet the given filter criteria contribute to the measurement results. The available options depend on current settings. For more information, see Packet Filters in Qosium.
The first option in the list is an automatic mode. The name and function of this setting depend on whether a single-point or two-point measurement is selected:
• In a single-point measurement, this option is named All IP traffic to/from this host. Only (IPv4 or IPv6) traffic originating from or targetted to the measurement point is captured.
• In a two-point measurement, this option is named All IP traffic between hosts. Only (IPv4 or IPv6) traffic that is generated by the measurement points and is targeted to the other measurement point is captured.
The second option in this list is Manual filter. When selected, a text field appears below, where an arbitrary packet filter can be typed manually.
Regardless of the choices made, the final filter applied to the measurement can be seen on Status Tab once the measurement is started.
2.2. Secondary Probe Filter Mode #
Visible when two-point measurement, NAT between Probes, and manual filter are selected
Secondary Probe Filter Mode determines how the given manual packet filter is treated in the secondary Probe. Setting this option is relevant only if NAT occurs on the measurement path. For more information, see How to Measure over NAT.
• Equal filter (default) - The same filter as to the primary Probe is set to the secondary.
• Strict autofilter - The filter is composed automatically based on what kind of flow the primary Probe with its filter observes. The IPv4 addresses, protocol, and ports (when they exist) are included in the filter. Thus, this filter is strict in the sense that only a single flow will fit it.
• Loose autofilter - Similar to Strict autofilter, but only the IPv4 addresses of the flow are included in the filter. The filter is loose in the sense that multiple flows will fit that.
2.3. Deep Packet Inspection #
Available only in single-point measurements
Two measurement points are always required to perform a QoS measurement. However, some protocols themselves carry information from the other end, allowing QoS calculations to be made by a single Qosium Probe. Thus, this is still a two-point measurement, but now there is no Probe in the other end. Instead, the application/service acts as the secondary measurement point, providing valid information and enabling QoS calculation.
Qosium currently supports two protocols for this kind of deep packet inspection: RTP and MPEG-2 (TS). These methods enable packet loss statistic calculation by a single Qosium Probe. Please note that this QoS calculation can be done for received traffic only as there is no feedback channel for the sent traffic.
• RTP - Use RTP protocol header information.
• MPEG-2 (TS) - Use MPEG-2 Transport stream header information.
The measured traffic stream must be of the selected type. Otherwise, the DPI-based QoS calculations cannot be made.
2.4. Packet Identification Method #
Visible when advanced settings are enabled.
The packet identification method defines how Qosium identifies packets between measurement points. Thus, the meaning of this is important under a two-point measurement and not that much in a single-point measurement. This is one of the parameters that you generally do not need to touch since the default automatic setting will handle most of the measurement cases. However, if you do need to set this manually, here are the options and their explanations.
• Auto (default) - Qosium selects the method from the options below based on the measurement scenario. The selection is made safely, i.e., a method typically known to function in most of the cases in a similar scenario is selected. This might not always be the optimal method.
• IPv4 ID Field - Qosium uses the Identification field in the IPv4 header for packet identification. Naturally, the first requirement for this to work is that the measured traffic shall be of IPv4 type. A second requirement is that the measured stream is using the IPv4 Identification field as specified. This is not always the case, but luckily the non-standard usage is rare. A restriction lies in the fact that the Identification field has only 16 bits, limiting the available unique numbering per time instance to 65536. Thus, if you are using a 1 s averaging interval, your measurement should be working fine, as long as the target measurement stream’s packet rate is clearly less than this (e.g., < 30000 pkts/s). Beyond that, QoS calculation is not guaranteed to be entirely accurate. Then, if you are using a longer averaging interval, e.g., 10 s, the safe packet rate drops to one-tenth of the previous, accordingly.
• RTP Sequence Number - Qosium uses the Sequence number field in the RTP header for packet identification. This lightweight option is ideal for measuring RTP streams. But, be aware that while Qosium checks that there is room in the packet for the RTP header, it does not check its actual existence. Thus, setting this option with non-RTP traffic can result in unpredictable behavior.
• Payload-Based ID - Qosium calculates the identification based on the packet payload. This method is not dependent on the protocol headers, so it works for IP packets and pure L2 (e.g., Ethernet) packets. If a packet has no payload, IP4 ID Field, when present, is used.
• Extended Payload-Based ID - Qosium calculates the identification based on the packet payload, including some parts of the transport layer header. This can be your choice if the measured traffic stream is composed of, e.g., very short packets or packets with duplicated data in their payloads. However, if your NIC is using offloading methods, this method might not always work correctly.
• Pure Payload-Based ID - This is a very similar method with Payload-Based ID, but packets without payload are just ignored from QoS calculation. In many ways, this is the most robust identification method. However, the drawback, as with all the payload-based methods, is that if the payloads between packets have little or no variation, QoS calculation might not always be accurate.
• NAT bypasser + Payload based ID - Operates as Payload-Based ID but with NAT bypasser functionality enabled. NAT bypasser lets you perform a passive measurement in a scenario where there is a NAT between the measurement points.
• NAT Bypasser + Pure Payload Based ID - Operates as Pure Payload-Based ID but with NAT bypasser functionality enabled.
2.5. Promiscuous Mode #
Visible when advanced settings are enabled.
Promiscuous ModePromiscuous Mode
A mode in network interfaces, which allows packet sniffers to process packets even if they are not designated to said network interface.
allows Qosium to capture packets that are not designated to the network card performing the capture. This is a fairly common case with Qosium, and it’s recommended to leave this option enabled unless there’s a specific reason to disable it. Some network cards might not support promiscuous mode, which is an example of such a specific reason.
3. Measurement Settings #
Measurement settings contribute to the way how measurement results are gathered and interpreted.
3.1. Averaging Interval #
As the name implies, this parameter defines the time interval each average sample represents. Coincidentally, averaging interval also determines how often Scope receives average results.
3.2. Delay Alert Threshold #
Packets with a delay above this threshold are counted in QoS Statistics: Th. ex. delay pkts. This statistic provides a way to understand the number of highly delayed single packets without actual packet-level statistics.
3.3. Jitter Alert Threshold #
Packets with a jitter above this threshold are counted in QoS Statistics: Th. ex. jitter pkts. This statistic provides a way to understand the number of single packets with high jitter without going to the actual packet-level statistics.
3.4. Flow Timeout #
Visible when advanced settings are enabled.
Flow timeout determines the duration in which a flow remains in the flow map after the most recent packet belonging to the flow has been registered.
Ideally, this value should be set as small as possible. However, if packets are arriving sporadically, flows may disappear from the flow map too early. This results in flows disappearing and re-appearing, as Scope deems these flows terminated prematurely. To counter this phenomenon, increase the flow timeout. As a result, the correct value is always somewhat dependent on the traffic flows’ properties to be measured.
3.5. Packet Loss Timer #
Visible when advanced settings are enabled.
Packet Loss TimerPacket Loss Timer
Qosium determines packet losses by waiting each packet a predefined amount of time. Packet loss timer defines this duration.
determines the duration used to determine packet losses. Setting this parameter is always a compromise between reactivity and the capability to detect long delays. If not enabled, Qosium automatically sets a generally well-functioning value for this parameter. The final value can be seen on the Status Tab during the measurement.
4. Control Connection Settings #
Visible when advanced settings are enabled.
These settings are related to the QMCP connections between Qosium Products (e.g., from Scope to primary Probe to external Listener and Secondary Probe). Adjusting these settings is not typically needed.
4.1. Robust QMCP Timeout #
This parameter is for toggling Robust QMCP ModeRobust QMCP Mode

on/off and for adjusting the duration of how long reconnection is tried before giving up. This is especially useful when measuring over a weak, unreliable network path.
Set this value according to your needs. Very large values are ideal while carrying out long-term monitoring, while small values are recommended for carrying out short measurement campaigns.
4.2. Control Packet Interval #
This parameter affects the control packet interval between the Qosium Probes in a two-point measurement. It is recommended to leave this option unchecked to allow Qosium to calculate an optimal value automatically instead. The final value can be seen on the Status Tab.
Glossary >
Promiscuous Mode
A mode in network interfaces, which allows packet sniffers to process packets even if they are not designated to said network interface.
This mode is essential in Qosium, since it’s fairly common to measure network traffic by placing Probes somewhere in-path or off-path via port mirroring instead of end-points.
Some network interfaces do not support promiscuous mode, so try turning it off if starting measurement results in an error, or no packets are captured.
For more information, see the Wikipedia article on Promiscuous mode.
Packet Loss Timer
Qosium determines packet losses by waiting each packet a predefined amount of time. Packet loss timer defines this duration.
If this value is set too small, packets exceeding this duration in the traversal of the measurement path will be incorrectly considered lost. A large value yields more precise results, but causes a lag to the reporting of lost packets, since Qosium needs to wait for this duration for packets before reporting them as lost.
Loss timer should be always at least 2 × control packet interval. The latter parameter is typically set automatically according to the averaging interval, but it can be also changed manually. In order to have short packet loss timer value, set the control packet interval as well.
Robust QMCP Mode
A feature which allows Qosium products to re-connect each other and carry on the measurement, even if connectivity is momentarily lost.
If robust QMCP mode is not enabled, the measurement is stopped if the connection between Qosium products is lost. It is recommended to keep this feature always on unless there’s a good reason to disable it. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

I originally intended for Videoball to also be at GA but was informed that unreleased games cannot be GAs due to the stability criteria and how much articles change after release, yadda yadda (see the WT:GA talk page for more). This said, I did have the article peer reviewed in accordance with procedure, and will be able to bring it to GA as needed once the game is released. There are no other subtopics beneath Action Button Entertainment unrepresented in this proposed good topic's scope. Thanks for your time czar ♔ 17:18, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Support; nothing much to say, really. Tezero (talk) 19:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
* Support. Currently a neat topic, but precarious- you'll have to get the Videoball article to GA status when the game's released, and if any of the other of the studio's team members/games become notable then those articles will also have to be brought up to GA status. I'm sure this won't be too much of a problem for you, though. J Milburn (talk) 09:53, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
* Support - given your furious rate of output of GAs these past 6 months, I'm not very worried about Videoball not getting submitted to GAN within 3 months of release. Wouldn't really be worried if the time limit was 3 weeks, either. -- Pres N 15:29, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Four stages of competence
In psychology, the four stages of competence, or the "conscious competence" learning model, relates to the psychological states involved in the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill. People may have several skills, some unrelated to each other, and each skill will typically be at one of the stages at a given time. Many skills require practice to remain at a high level of competence.
The four stages suggest that individuals are initially unaware of how little they know, or unconscious of their incompetence. As they recognize their incompetence, they consciously acquire a skill, then consciously use it. Eventually, the skill can be utilized without it being consciously thought through: the individual is said to have then acquired unconscious competence.
History
The four stages appeared in the 1960 textbook Management of Training Programs by three management professors at New York University. Management trainer Martin M. Broadwell called the model "the four levels of teaching" in an article published in February 1969. Paul R. Curtiss and Phillip W. Warren mentioned the model in their 1973 book The Dynamics of Life Skills Coaching. The model was used at Gordon Training International by its employee Noel Burch in the 1970s; there it was called the "four stages for learning any new skill". Later the model was frequently attributed to Abraham Maslow, incorrectly since the model does not appear in his major works.
Several elements, including helping someone "know what they don't know" or recognize a blind spot, can be compared to elements of a Johari window, which was created in 1955, although Johari deals with self-awareness, while the four stages of competence deal with learning stages.
Stages
The four stages are:
* 1) Unconscious incompetence
* The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.
* 1) Conscious incompetence
* Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, they recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.
* 1) Conscious competence
* The individual understands or knows how to do something. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration, and if it is broken, they lapse into incompetence.
* 1) Unconscious competence
* The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned. | WIKI |

Morgan Stanley to let clients use drug-focused donor-advised funds
Morgan Stanley is starting a new program that will let clients donate money to find treatments and cures for diseases. The program, called Morgan Stanley GIFT Cures, began today in tandem with a two-day conference the financial services firm is hosting. All donations made to Morgan Stanley GIFT Cures will be managed through a donor-advised fund to help the mission of the Harrington Discovery Institute. The Harrington Discovery Institute, in Cleveland, Ohio, works to identify new drug development research and approaches from academic institutions and help turn those discoveries into treatments. It was created in 2012 with $50 million from the Harrington family, who are medical supply entrepreneurs. The Morgan Stanley GIFT Cures program is focusing on efforts to develop treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease and immune disorders, among others. Clients can choose to either back efforts for a specific condition or broader research that is taking place. "Our clients will have an opportunity to really be incredibly strategic with their philanthropy and their generosity," said Melanie Schnoll Begun, head of philanthropy management at Morgan Stanley. Many clients typically choose to give to hospitals or other health-care organizations that helped treat family members who have been affected by certain conditions, Begun said. Now, they will also be able to make targeted donations to help come up with cures for those diseases, she said. "The reality is that there are many more diseases than there are drugs to treat them," said Dr. Jonathan Stamler, president of the Harrington Discovery Institute. There are about 10,000 categories of disease, but only approximately 500 drugs that treat them, according to Stamler. About 200 to 300 new diseases are discovered each year. "There are literally hundreds of millions of people who suffer from diseases for which treatments are not available," Stamler said. The new program comes at a time when donor-advised fund strategies are growing in popularity. Donor-advised funds let individuals put money they plan to give away in one account. Contributions are eligible for a tax deduction in the year they are made. Individuals, however, can let the money stay there until they designate a charity or non-profit. Contributions to donor-advised funds as a percentage of total individual giving climbed to 10.2%, or $29.23 billion, in the U.S. in 2017, according to a 2018 annual report by the National Philanthropic Trust. Individual giving totaled $286.65 billion that year. Donor-advised funds are expected to gain in popularity following the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Because of the higher standard deduction under the new tax law, fewer people will be able to itemize their deductions, including charitable giving. That may lead more donors to turn to a strategy called "bunching," whereby they make a lump sum donation in one year, and then spread out the contributions to charities over several years. High-profile donors who have committed to giving away the bulk of their wealth through the Giving Pledge campaign could also inspire other individuals to increase their giving. MacKenzie Bezos, novelist and ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, most recently joined that list. Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg has also signed on and used donor-advised funds as part of her strategy. The Morgan Stanley program is aimed at ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, family foundations and family offices. Clients who participate also will be able to collaborate with other donors in giving strategies and events. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

RESUMO
The electron magnetic resonance (EMR) technique was used to investigate the diffusion of Mn2+ in lime (CaO). The EMR absorption intensity was measured for several annealing times and three different temperatures of isothermal annealing: 1273, 1323 and 1373 K. The activation energy for diffusion, calculated from the experimental data using a theoretical model based on the Fick equation, was found to be E A = 266 ± 27 kJ. Mol- 1, about 30% larger than the activation energy for diffusion of Mn2+ in magnesia (MgO), a compound with the same crystal structure. The difference is attributed to the fact that the Ca2+ has a larger ionic radius than Mg2+.

ourselves, during a summer shower;" and he announces that he determined to follow that life, the account of which he proceeds to give with this preliminary word of explanation:—
"The following pages will contain a picture of my vagrant life, intermixed with specimens, generally brief and slight, of that great mass of fiction to which I gave existence, and which has vanished like cloud-shapes. Besides the occasions when I sought a pecuniary reward, I was accustomed to exercise my narrative faculty, wherever chance had collected a little audience, idle enough to listen. These rehearsals were useful in testing the strong points of my stories; and, indeed, the flow of fancy soon came upon me so abundantly, that its indulgence was its own reward; though the hope of praise, also, became a powerful incitement. Since I shall never feel the warm gush of new thought, as I did then, let me beseech the reader to believe, that my tales were not always so cold as he may find them now. With each specimen will be given a sketch of the circumstances in which the story was told. Thus my air-drawn pictures will be set in frames, perhaps more valuable than the pictures themselves, since they will be embossed with groups of characteristic figures, amid the lake and mountain scenery, the villages and fertile fields, of our native land. But I write the book for the sake of its moral, which many a dreaming youth may profit by, though it is the experience of a wandering story-teller." | WIKI |
Ismail Alam
Abū al-ʿAzīz Muḥammad Ismāʿīl ʿAlī (আবুল আজীজ মোহাম্মদ ইসমাঈল আলী; 1868–1937) was a Bengali politician, teacher and activist of the Khilafat Movement. He wrote poetry in Urdu under the pen name of Ālam (Urdu: ). His Diwan-i-Alam poem led to the Calcutta Alia Madrasa awarding him the title of Parrot of Bengal in 1910.
Early life and family
Abul Aziz Muhammad Ismail Ali was born in 1868, to a Bengali Muslim family in the village of Batiail in Kanaighat, Sylhet District. His father, Mawlana Shah Abdur Rahman Qadri, was a notable mufti by occupation. His younger brother was the scholar Ibrahim Ali Tashna. The family was descended from Shah Taqiuddin, a 14th-century Sufi missionary and companion of Shah Jalal.
Education
Ismail initially studied at home with his father before studying at the Ajiria Madrasa in Fulbari, Golapganj. After getting good results in Arabic and Persian, he enrolled at the Calcutta Alia Madrasa and graduated in 1897. He was also a murid of Fazlur Rahman Ganj-e-Muradabadi.
Career
Along with his Bengali mother-tongue, Ismail Alam became a confident speaker of Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. This enabled him to play an important role in the subcontinent-wide Khilafat Movement, in addition to writing poetry. He used to judicial work. He also taught Hadith studies at the Madinatul Uloom, Gauripur in Assam, Jhingabari Senior Fazil Madrasa, and Sylhet Government Alia Madrasa.
Works
Ismail Alam mainly wrote poetry in the Persian and Urdu languages, which was common among the upper-class Muslims of South Asia. His magnum opus, titled Diwan-i-Alam was noticed by William Hamilton Harley, the erstwhile principal of Calcutta Alia Madrasa. Harley awarded Alam the title of Banglar Tota, or the Parrot of Bengal. Alam composed the diwan in 1910 from Kanpur in North India when he was in Qayyumi, Waqiee Mahalla, Tikapur. It contained a sirah and various naʽats dedicated to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Anjab Ali Shawq, another Urdu poet of Bengal, referred to Alam as his teacher of poetry.
Death
Alam was blind in the last thirteen years of his life. He died in 1937. He was buried in the Sarakerbazar Eidgah graveyard, located 20 miles away from his village in Kanaighat. | WIKI |
TASS Is Authorized to Declare...
TASS Is Authorized to Declare... (ТАСС уполномочен заявить..., translit. TASS upolnomochen zayavit...) is a 1984 Soviet spy miniseries directed by Vladimir Fokin. The series is set in Cold War era and portrays the struggle of Soviet and American intelligence agencies. It is based on a novel by the same name by Yulian Semyonov (the author of cult spy series Seventeen Moments of Spring). "17 Moments" star Vyacheslav Tikhonov played KGB General Konstantinov, the protagonist of the "TASS..." series.
Original film music score was composed by Eduard Artemyev as a blend of progressive rock and electronic music.
Plot
Trianon (Boris Klyuyev), a willing mole agent for the Americans, is providing his CIA handlers in Moscow with information on Soviet supplies to the fictional African state of Nagonia which he obtains through his high-positioned expert job. The KGB counterintelligence painstakingly identifies and neutralizes him. Trianon kills his fiancee who raised suspicions on his double life and then attempts to commit suicide when arrested, but the KGB secures his apprehension and interrogation.
At the same time in Nagonia, Soviet counterintelligence agent Slavin (Yuri Solomin) risks his life assisting in identification of Trianon and preventing local CIA resident Glabb (Vakhtang Kikabidze) from staging a coup d'etat in the country by pro-American General Ogano against ruling progressive president Grisso. Several foreign whistleblowers providing Slavin with information are killed by Glabb's order.
As the result of successful KGB operation, the TASS state news agency issues a sensational news bulletin exposing the CIA plot.

Type 2 Diabetes In Britain
Orthostatic hypotension may possibly develop, especially among people who perform hard physical labor, or conditions that lead to excessive perspiration. Right after reading this information, we should be ready to plan regular meals and snacks and calculate the amount associated with carbohydrate in our diet. The common signs in addition to symptoms of diabetes mellitus include unusual putting on weight or weight loss, fatigue, excessive thirst, dry mouth, repeated urination, excessive hunger, feeling of nausea, recurrent vaginal infection in women, frequent candidiasis in men and slow healing sores and reduces. Patients with diabetes, specifically those with type just one diabetes, who fast in the course of Ramadan are at elevated exposure to possible development of diabetic ketoacidosis, specially if they usually are grossly hyperglycemic before Ramadan. If your tissues can’t absorb glucose your current system overloads, the glucose becomes a toxin, in addition to death follows. If they are usually semi-conscious glucose or glucagon is going to be given by shot or IV which is usually the fastest way to enhance blood glucose levels. Among children you may find delayed growth, delayed puberty, irritability, behavioral changes, nausea, dental enamel abnormalities.
In addition, it secrets digestive enzymes, which usually further help in digesting proteins and carbohydrates since well. However, the treatment may be burdensome for that requires awareness, training, correct care, and discipline. You’re probably familiar along with the terms Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic as it relates to be able to humans. I would love in order to meet the me that never got diabetes plus compare my quality lifestyle We have now with exactly what I may have had without having the disease. There are a lot of people who keep on to live a normal and fulfilling life along with this condition. The very concept of a diabetes cure invokes many emotions in me personally. Diagnosing diabulimia could be difficult as the dietary concerns of the diabetic can mask the eating disorder. To nail it down for sure, take the A1C check. Inside diabetes mellitus type 2, the ability regarding the pancreas to create insulin worsens slowly as time passes. S. There is Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational Diabetes. I had been instructed to park the car for the period of Easter and find out the own doctor on Thursday morning. Please take a very long moment to check back and notice, feel hear what was going on in your life whenever you were clinically diagnosed. When I has been younger, as a matter of fact, nine many years old I was still wetting the bed. Unfortunately, these ingredients can interrupt the production of insulin within the pancreas. My father has been an alcoholic but NOT NECESSARILY a diabetic. Diabetes mellitus is really a disorder recognized by increased blood sugar levels which usually result in problems along with insulin production and actions. These all makes a person fit and maintain him/her from diseases plus look better. These patients possess frequent and rapid modifications in blood glucose levels between the extremes of hyperglycemia (too much blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (abnormally lower levels associated with glucose). In spite of astonishing technologies getting entry within the healthcare field, type 1 diabetic cure still remains a great illusion. There are zero specific vital signs regarding CD with Type 1 diabetes. There are two separate types regarding diabetes easily enough known since type 1 and sort 2.
Results of a recent examine of military service people show that low supplement D levels are related with an increased danger of developing Type 1 diabetes (juvenile onset diabetes). Early slight symptoms-include skin infections/diseases such as: rashes, athletes foot, yeast infection, thrush, dry itchy pores and skin, poor skin healing, ulcerations, flaking; foot tingling and numbness; peripheral neuropathy; paresthesias; urinary tract infection; poor healing, sexual related problems: erectile disappointment, unusual feminine dryness, premature menopause, absent periods; poor recovery; weight loss or gain; drowsiness; and malaise. Anyone can have type 1 diabetic nonetheless it is much frequent with people ages forty and up. In type two diabetes too much body fat sets the stage for insulin resistance by reducing your body’s ability to use insulin in the particular way it was designed to be used. Inside type 1 diabetes, typically known as juvenile diabetic, the pancreas simply really does not create the insulin your body needs in order to convert sugar into the particular energy that is assimilated type 2 diabetes britain
by the cells. Your current blood sugar levels may skyrocket if you type 2 diabetes in britain
consume these beverages excessively. Sort 2 Diabetes is recognized by the inability associated with the body to method insulin made by the pancreatic to a degree wherever it cannot effectively handle glucose levels in the body. Should you by pass meals but still take the usual quantity of insulin, your blood sugar levels can dip lacking in addition to throw you into hypoglycemia and cause you in order to distribute. Type 1 diabetes is usually thought to be due to a defect in the body’s defense system (the immune system) allowing it to attack the pancreatic, type the 2 diabetes insulin britain

Presently there is no cure with regard to diabetes but it can be managed to type minimize typically 2 the diabetes occurrence britain

Some people might be more comfortable with their medicine medications but there are those who prefer the particular natural way of dealing with their illnesses. Unfortunately high insulin levels can cause your kidneys to preserve sodium (salt). Gestational diabetes affects some ladies during pregnancy and could disappear after delivery. Mother and father are even able in order to use remote controls to be able to adjust insulin doses so children can continue to play.

Northern grizzled skipper
The northern grizzled skipper (Pyrgus centaureae) is a Holarctic species of skipper butterfly (family Hesperiidae) with a range in North America from the subarctic to the north, New Mexico to the south, and the Appalachian Mountains to the east.In the Palearctic the species which was described from Norway is distributed across Scandinavia and the northern part of European Russia across the Urals through northern Asia to the Altai.
Description
While generally similar to most other Pyrgus species, this species has a greyer brown background colour with bold white spots on both the forewing and hindwing. Unlike most other Pyrgus species, the veins on the underside are obviously lined white. Wingspan is 25 to 33 mm. Seitz describes it- H. centaureae Rambur. (86 a) large, dark, with very distinct white dots and spots. Underside of hindwing dark brown or blackish with a greenish tint. The brown band which forms the outer border of the white band, bears spots and forms the inner border of a white terminal band, which appears divided by a row of strong brown dots so that there are two white bands beyond the median band. Scandinavia, Finland, the Altai; also in North America; in June and July.
Biology
It occurs in the northern taiga, forest tundra and southern shrub tundra. One generation is produced per year in its southern range from March to May. Two years are required for each brood in the subarctic. Larval food plants include cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), dwarf cinquefoil (Potentilla canadensis), and varileaf cinquefoil (Potentilla diversifolia).
Subspecies

The Mating and Reproductive Strategies of Salamanders
Joshua/ May 23, 2016/ Articles/
The term “salamander” originates from the Greek word “salamandra” which means “fire animal.” This is because salamanders usually turn up in logs that were set on fire. As amphibians, salamanders can breathe and live in water or on land. However, adult amphibians get to live on land and only come back in water when it is time to propagate and multiply.
Mating Background in Salamanders
The sex life of salamanders is quite amusing. Throughout the breeding season, both sexes of the salamanders search for potential mates. This happens during the first warm rains of spring to steer clear of extreme environmental conditions. There are species of salamanders, like the California newts, that pick out their possible partners by smelling them. For European crested newts, the male salamanders express their keenness and willingness to mate by changing their skin colours or patterns. In the case of terrestrial salamanders, they locate their breeding pond through their sense of smell and migrate there.
Male salamanders “woo” their possible mate by giving off pheromones directed to the female salamanders. The male specie will court the female by progressing towards her and waggling his tail. If the female specie wants to mate, she will participate in the dance wherein the “couple” will walk or swim around each other. Other species of male salamanders show off through elaborate displays in attracting the opposite sex. Male newts, such as Triturus spp., grow enlarged dorsal fins in alluring their mates.
Reproductive Modes of Salamanders
Around 90 percent of all species of salamanders reproduce via internal fertilisation. In here, the male salamander will deposit a spermatophore on the ground, rock or stick and leads the female into the area. Spermatophores are bundles of sperms, comprised of 80-100 sperms depending on the season. The female salamander will then pick up the spermatophore using her cloacal lips and proceed to a pond or ditch. There, she will lay eggs which she’ll brood to keep the eggs moisture-ladden. There are also types of female salamanders, like the European fire salamander, that retain the eggs inside her until the eggs make it to the larval stage.
Some salamanders undergo external fertilisation. It involves the female salamanders laying eggs in nests under a rock. The male salamander will then fertilise the eggs and watch over the nest until the young hatch in 2-3 months. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Precipitation of Process-Derived Impurities in Non-Protein A Purification Schemes for Antibodies
Precipitation prior to capture chromatography offers a simple, robust, and economical method to remove CHO host cell proteins and DNA.
Oct 01, 2009
ABSTRACT
Precipitation of process-derived impurities prior to capture chromatography in antibody purification offers a simple, robust, and economical method to efficiently remove Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) host cell proteins and DNA. By optimizing the major process parameters—pH, caprylic acid concentration, and mixing time—and understanding their interdependency, one can develop a cost-effective process step. When precipitation is applied directly in CHO cell culture, it combines the clarification and precipitation unit operations. The direct precipitation of contaminants results in seamless transition from upstream to downstream purification processes, particularly in high cell density and high titer cell culture. As a result, demand on the purification process is significantly lowered, and a simple two-step ion exchange process is sufficient to achieve therapeutic purity.
Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH
Cation exchange (CEX) capture chromatography in non-affinity processes generally requires a feed conditioning step to lower the pH and conductivity in order to attain high binding capacity (~100 mg/mL). Typically, this is achieved by including a concentration and diafiltration step for primary recovery or, less preferably, through dilution and pH titration of the clarified cell culture bulk, resulting in large processing volumes.1
Primary recovery TFF offers several advantages, including batch volume reduction, partial purification of process-derived DNA, and a cleaner feed stream for better column lifetime and performance.1 On the other hand, it is a lengthy unit operation, with high costs in terms of buffer consumption and TFF cassettes. Diafiltration also adds further constraints in the case of high titers by requiring even higher buffer and tank volumes at production scale.
For those reasons, alternative technologies such as precipitation have been explored, particularly to achieve higher throughput for cell culture processes with high titers. Precipitation of the protein of interest has proven successful in food, blood, and enzyme manufacturing. For example, antibodies have been precipitated successfully at large scale by adding polymers of ethylene glycol (PEG)2 or salts3 and pH titration,4 and research-scale precipitation of contaminants by charged polymers,5 cationic detergents, or short-chain fatty acids6,7 has shown promising application at the cell culture clarified bulk (CB) stage.
In this study, we extend the application of precipitation that combines pH control and caprylic acid (a short-chain fatty acid) to remove process-derived impurities directly from CHO cell culture in the production of human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Generated Code
For protobuf-based codegen, you can put your proto files in the src/main/proto and src/test/proto directories along with an appropriate plugin.
For protobuf-based codegen integrated with the Maven build system, you can use protobuf-maven-plugin (Eclipse and NetBeans users should also look at os-maven-plugin's IDE documentation):
<build>
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>kr.motd.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>os-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0.Final</version>
</extension>
</extensions>

</build>
For protobuf-based codegen integrated with the Gradle build system, you can use protobuf-gradle-plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.google.protobuf'
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.8.5'
}
}
protobuf {
protoc {
artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.5.1-1"
}
plugins {
grpc {
artifact = 'io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:1.16.1'
}
}
generateProtoTasks {
all()*.plugins {
grpc {}
}
}
}
The prebuilt protoc-gen-grpc-java binary uses glibc on Linux. If you are compiling on Alpine Linux, you may want to use the Alpine grpc-java package which uses musl instead.
API Stability
APIs annotated with @Internal are for internal use by the gRPC library and should not be used by gRPC users. APIs annotated with @ExperimentalApi are subject to change in future releases, and library code that other projects may depend on should not use these APIs.
We recommend using the grpc-java-api-checker (an Error Prone plugin) to check for usages of @ExperimentalApi and @Internal in any library code that depends on gRPC. It may also be used to check for @Internal usage or unintended @ExperimentalApi consumption in non-library code.
How to Build
If you are making changes to gRPC-Java, see the compiling instructions.
High-level Components
At a high level there are three distinct layers to the library: Stub, Channel, and Transport.
Stub
The Stub layer is what is exposed to most developers and provides type-safe bindings to whatever datamodel/IDL/interface you are adapting. gRPC comes with a plugin to the protocol-buffers compiler that generates Stub interfaces out of .proto files, but bindings to other datamodel/IDL are easy and encouraged.
Channel
The Channel layer is an abstraction over Transport handling that is suitable for interception/decoration and exposes more behavior to the application than the Stub layer. It is intended to be easy for application frameworks to use this layer to address cross-cutting concerns such as logging, monitoring, auth, etc.
Transport
The Transport layer does the heavy lifting of putting and taking bytes off the wire. The interfaces to it are abstract just enough to allow plugging in of different implementations. Note the transport layer API is considered internal to gRPC and has weaker API guarantees than the core API under package io.grpc.
gRPC comes with three Transport implementations:
1. The Netty-based transport is the main transport implementation based on Netty. It is for both the client and the server.
2. The OkHttp-based transport is a lightweight transport based on OkHttp. It is mainly for use on Android and is for client only.
3. The in-process transport is for when a server is in the same process as the client. It is useful for testing, while also being safe for production use. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Nicholas II Vásári
Nicholas (II) Vásári (also Szügyi; Vásári (II.) Miklós, Nicolaus de Viasaria; died 1358) was a Hungarian prelate in the 14th century, who served as Archbishop of Esztergom from 1350 until his death.
Early life
Nicholas was born in the 1300s as the son of Nicholas I Vásári, the Vice-voivode of Transylvania from 1319 to 1320, and an unidentified lady from the Telegdi family, which originated from the gens (clan) Csanád. Nicholas had three brothers and two sisters. Vásári's origin is confirmed by a letter of Pope John XXII on 2 July 1320, when called him "Nicolao nato dilecti filii nobilis viri Nicolai Comitis Viceducis Transsilvani". Former historiographical works incorrectly referred him Monoszlói or Frankói. Nicholas' grandfather was Roland Szügyi, who possessed Szügy, Nógrád County in 1255, but sometimes later moved to Bihar County, where became the owner of Vásári (present-day a depopulated area). His sons took their surname after the village. Nicholas' maternal uncle was Csanád Telegdi, the Archbishop of Esztergom from 1330 to 1349. The influential prelate became Nicholas's mentor and supporter in his ecclesiastical career.
When his uncle functioned as provost of Várad (present-day Oradea Mare, Romania), Vásári had an opportunity to study in the local collegiate school. Upon Telegdi's request, Vásári was appointed a canon of the cathedral chapter of Várad by Pope John XXII, issuing the aforementioned papal document on 2 July 1320. When Csanád Telegdi was consecrated as Bishop of Eger in January 1323, Vásári followed his uncle to the diocese. He was made a canon, then archdeacon of Borsova (still referred with this title in 1332). It is possible that Vásári attended a foreign (presumably Italian) universitas thereafter, as Pope Clement VI referred to him as iuris peritus ("learned in the law"). His uncle Csanád Telegdi became Archbishop of Esztergom in September 1330. He sent his nephew and Benedictine friar Anselm to the papal court of Avignon for his pallium, receiving it on 5 January 1331. When Charles I of Hungary visited his uncle, Robert, in Naples in July 1333, Telegdi and Vásári were among the dignitaries, who escorted the king. There Charles' second son, Andrew, was betrothed to Robert's granddaughter and eventual successor, Joanna I. Vásári was made canon of Várad again on 2 October 1333. He was styled as archdeacon of Bars on 15 April 1337. Pope Benedict XII appointed him grand provost of Esztergom on 18 January 1339, becoming effectively his uncle's deputy in the archdiocese, despite his order of subdeacon. He replaced Charles' illegitimate son, Coloman in that position. Vásári served in this capacity until 23 May 1347.
Since the late 1330s, Vásári resided in the royal court and became a faithful confidant of the royal family, even after Louis I of Hungary ascended the Hungarian throne in July 1342. The queen mother, Elizabeth, visited Naples in the summer of 1343 to promote the interests of her son Andrew. Subsequently, he traveled further to Avignon as a member of the Hungarian delegation, led by Vid Vasvári, the Bishop of Nyitra. Pope Clement was the overlord of the Kingdom of Naples; they were only able to persuade him to promise that Andrew would be crowned as Joanna's husband. There, Vásári also requested the contribution of the pope in personal affairs: he requested the forgiveness of sins for himself and his living relatives, including his mother, for the time of their death; in February 1344, he asked Clement to permit him and his brothers, John, Thomas and Beke, to pilgrimage to the Holy Land with the accompaniment of each 10 persons. Vásári also requested the pope to grant the right of indulgence to the parish church in their residence Vásári, dedicated to Martin of Tours. According to the charges, the Hungarian delegation tried to bribe the officers of the papal court in order to a favorable decision, but without the permission of the royal family. This led to the discretization of Vid Vasvári, but it did not affect Vásári's career, who was described as "useful workforce" by Louis I in the same time.
Prelate
Vid Vasvári, the Bishop of Nyitra died in February 1347. Upon Louis' request, Vásári, who still resided in the papal court, was consecrated as his successor by Pope Clement on 23 May 1347. Louis I launched his first Neapolitan campaign in the same year. The king sent small expeditions one after one to Italy at the beginning of his war against Joanna; his first troops departed under the command of Nicholas Vásári, who went ahead to L'Aquila. Vásári cooperated with Hungarian lord Nicholas Kont in the upcoming months, they successfully persuaded several nobles in the countryside around L'Aquila to support Louis' efforts against his sister-in-law. Returning home for a brief time, Vásári reported on the new allies and joined the Hungarian royal army, which entered the Kingdom of Naples on 24 December at the city, which had yielded to Louis. After Louis adopted the traditional titles of the kings of Naples, Vásári again traveled to the papal court in February 1349, alongside George Bebek, to gain the support and confirmation of Pope Clement. There Vásári expressed his intention to visit the Holy Sepulchre with twelve persons.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Vásári was nominated to the position of Bishop of Zagreb on 26 March 1349. A single charter issued on 2 September mentioned him in this capacity, but the episcopal see became vacant again by December, because Vásári was elected Archbishop of Kalocsa during that time. He was still styled as archbishop-elect on 11 January 1350, when he was transferred to the archiepiscopal see of Esztergom, succeeding his uncle, Csanád Telegdi, who died in the second half of the previous year. 19th-century historiographical works, including Antal Pór's studies, claimed that Vásári simultaneously held the office of chancellor in the royal court during his archiepiscopate. Thus Pór connected that unnamed Hungarian chancellor to the person of Várási, who led diplomatic missions to the Italian peninsula, including Padua in 1356, according to Italian chronicles. Later historians, for instance Imre Szentpétery and Bernát L. Kumorovitz refused Pór's allegation.
Vásári held an ecclesiastical synod in Esztergom in 1353. He participated in Louis' military campaign against Serbia in the next year, when Hungarian troops invaded the empire, forcing Stefan Dušan to withdraw from the region along the river Sava. He was one of the key draftsmen of the Treaty of Zadar, which was signed on 18 February 1358, in which the Republic of Venice renounced all Dalmatian towns and islands between the Gulf of Kvarner and Durazzo in favor of Louis. Vásári was last referred as a living person on 26 May. He died by 23 August.
Codices
His two legal codices (Bonifacius papa VIII. Liber sextus Decretalium and Clemens papa V. Constitutiones), which represent the same art style of Bolognese trecento as the Anjou Legendarium, were preserved in the Capitulary Library of the Padua Cathedral. While the completion of the first codex is uncertain, the second one was finished in 1343. Both of them were dedicated to Nicholas, who was still grand provost of Esztergom during that time. He presumably ordered the preparation of two works, when resided on the Italian Peninsula as a member of the Hungarian diplomatic mission. Fellow Hungarian John Uzsai served as rector of the ultramontanes (i.e. foreign students) at the University of Bologna in that year, who maintained liaison with the Hungarian prelate and the local painters. The codices were later owned by Jacopo Zeno, the Bishop of Padua in the second half of the 15th century. The coats-of-arms of Pietro Ruiz de Coreglia, protonotary apostolic of Valence also appear in both codices.
The ''Bonifacius papa VIII. Liber sextus Decretalium contains the hagiography Life of Saint Stephen, King of Hungary'' (this part is missing from the Anjou Legendarium). Its miniatures, which are the earliest chronicle representations of the king, depicts St. Stephen as a saintly and converter monarch (with the insignia of church model), while the later chronicles, for instance, the Illuminated Chronicle, exclusively portray him as founder of the state and warlord. This is also the only known depiction, where Stephen's parents Géza and Sarolt are shown together. Ornament line between pictures also portrays individually St. Stephen, St. Emeric, St. Ladislaus and possibly St. Gerard or St. Nicholas, in addition to the customer Nicholas Vásári himself. The second codex, Clemens papa V. Constitutiones is less remarkable from the point of view of art history, it depicts the legend of Catherine of Alexandria in the usual contemporary way. | WIKI |
Bahçeköy, Sarıyer
Bahçeköy or Bahçeköy Merkez is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey. Its population is 3,737 (2022).
Bahçeköy is situated 8 km from Sarıyer. It is bordered by Fatih Forest, Çayırbaşı, Büyükdere, Kemerburgaz, Zekeriyaköy and Gümüşdere.
Institutions within its boundaries are Faculty of Forestry, Forestry Administration, Water and Sewerage Authority. A number of historic dams, Belgrad Forest, Bentler Nature Park, Atatürk Arboretum are visitor attractions of Bahçeköy.
With annual precipitation around 1,200 mm, Bahçeköy is the wettest place in Istanbul.
Background
The establishment of Bahçeköy goes back to 1521 in the Ottoman Empire. Later, Muslim Turks from Salonica Vilayet, former territory of the Ottoman Empire, were settled here in the frame of population exchange between Greece and Turkey agreed with the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The settlement received migration from all over Turkey. As of 2010, the population of Bahçeköy is 3,870.
Following a local referendum, the settlement gained the right to be converted from a village status into a municipality. The first mayor election took place in 1997. It was merged into the municipality of Sarıyer in 2008. | WIKI |
Staying Power (album)
Staying Power is the twentieth and final studio album by American R&B singer Barry White, released on July 27, 1999. The album was White's first release for five years, and his only recording for the Private Music label, with whom he had signed following a four-album deal with A&M which had culminated in 1994 with the acclaimed The Icon Is Love, his most successful album since the 1970s.
Staying Power features duets with Chaka Khan and Lisa Stansfield. These are the only White tracks with a shared vocal credit, apart from the 1981 duet album Barry and Glodean. Lead single "Staying Power", although not a significant hit, won White two Grammy Awards in 2000 in the categories Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. It also contains covers of War's "Low Rider", and a slowed-down version of Sly and The Family Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)" (similar to the version on Sly's There's A Riot Goin' On).
Staying Power was less successful than The Icon Is Love, peaking at #13 on the R&B chart and #43 on the pop chart. Similarly, its critical reception was more mixed, the overall opinion tending to the view that while there is little to find fault with, the material and production is less distinguished than had been the case with The Icon Is Love. (Allmusic reviewer Stephen Erlewine for example describes Staying Power as "...classy and entertaining, but [it] doesn't add to the legacy".)

How Layers in a Latte Form
Trilobites Any good barista will tell you that if you want to make a nice latte you pour milk into the espresso — not the other way around. But there’s another style of latte out there, too — the layered latte, or #layeredlatte as you’ll find on Instagram. Created by accident, or by baristas experimenting with new drinks, these striped beverages start with a glass of heated milk and then pour in the espresso. They’re not as pretty or popular as a unicorn Frappuccino or a rainbow latte, but they have their own charm. Bob Fankhauser, a retired engineer in Portland, Ore., accidentally created his own layered latte at home and wanted to know why these pretty layers form. “It’s a really intriguing phenomenon,” said Mr. Fankhauser. “There’s no obvious reason that the liquid should organize itself into different density layers.” Last year, Mr. Fankhauser sent an email including photos of his accidental layered lattes to Howard Stone, a chemical engineer who studies fluid dynamics at Princeton University and inspired him and a graduate student to test this out. The team published their results Tuesday in Nature Communications. Anyone can try this at home, but chefs creating layered jellies or bioengineers developing synthetic human tissues may find this one-step process useful, they suggested. After recreating the latte with their own espresso and milk, the team created a simulated coffee drink, injecting heated, dyed freshwater into heated, denser saltwater to test the scientific parameters that make this spontaneous layering possible. Pouring hot espresso into warm milk at a certain speed, they found, induced an interaction between temperature and density that caused the drink to separate into layers of different densities. The same basic phenomenon, called double-diffusive convection, creates layers of water in the ocean. There, water containing different amounts of salt has different densities, just like espresso and denser milk in a latte. When the liquids try to mix, layered patterns form as gradients in temperature cause a portion of the liquid to heat up, become lighter and rise, while another, denser portion sinks. This gives rise to convection cells that trap mixtures of similar densities within layers. Nan Xue, a graduate student in Dr. Stone’s lab who led the study, found that even if you disturb the layers with a gentle stir (or a sip, said Mr. Fankhauser), they will reform and stay put — for minutes, hours, even days. As long as the mixture is still warmer than the air around it, the stirring creates another density gradient, similar to that produced by pouring. But stir after the latte reaches room temperature — bye-bye stripes. To create your own layered latte, pour hot espresso over a spoon into a tall glass of milk of about the same temperature. Wait a few minutes for the layers to form as the liquid cools. Success requires experimentation. In Brooklyn, Casey Lampe, a barista at Stone Fruit Espresso and Kitchen tested variations of this process over five trials. He found that layers form better depending on the speed of your pour, the height of the glass, the ratio of espresso to milk and the temperature and density of the two. There wasn’t time to perfect the experiment before the cafe got busy, but most of the trials produced a few layers, including a thin layer of milk at the bottom of the glass. Mr. Lampe concluded layered lattes may be better suited for novelty than flavor: “If you stir it and it goes back, it’s almost like at the end, you’re just drinking warm milk,” he said. But Mr. Fankhauser, who admits he may not catch on to flavor subtleties, thinks the coffee tastes fine and was worth his original curiosity. “To know that you played a little role in somebody discovering something is just delightful,” he said. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Pi Capricorni
Pi Capricorni, Latinized from π Capricorni, is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Capricornus. It has the traditional star name Okul or Oculus (meaning eye in Latin). This system appears blue-white in hue and is visible to the naked eye as a 5th magnitude star. It is located approximately 660 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −13 km/s.
In Chinese, 牛宿 (Niú Su), meaning Ox (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of π Capricorni, β Capricorni, α2 Capricorni, ξ2 Capricorni, ο Capricorni and ρ Capricorni. Consequently, the Chinese name for π Capricorni itself is 牛宿四 (Niú Su sì, the Fourth Star of Ox.)
The primary member, component A, is a spectroscopic binary whose two components are separated by 0.1 arcseconds. The brighter of the two, component Aa, is a blue-white B-type bright giant or main sequence star with an apparent magnitude of +5.08. It is around 43 million years old with six times the mass of the Sun. The star is radiating 238 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,623 K. The third member, component B, is an eighth magnitude star at an angular separation of $5.9$ from the primary. | WIKI |

Template talk:Diff2
Start your own template
You know you could, like, start your own template. That's what I had to do because the owner of the other one didn't see the point in making something simple enough that only the revision number was needed, not the page title, not the adjacent revision, etc. Apropos of nothing, you could try fixing popups first. — CharlotteWebb 19:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
* It's still as easy to use as it was, it just has one additional feature. I do see the point of only needing the revision parameter for simple diffs, and I have no plans to change that. :) And concerning popups, feel very free to help me out there. It's harder (read: even more confusing, and with even more potential security holes) than I hoped, and I only have so much time. Amalthea 10:37, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Simplify?
There are two things I'd like to simplify on this template but I need someone to tell me why the current form was chosen: Waldir talk 02:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
* 1) → (But that depends on what was referring to)
* 1) → (But that depends on what was referring to)
* Don't know about your second point, but the first change would break popups and links on the secure server. Amalthea 09:53, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
* But how about at least getting rid of the empty title= parameter (and the ampersand)? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 05:01, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Comparison with Diff
The documentation claims: "Unlike, this template does not require the page name." This isn't correct. The page name is optional in. You can omit it just with an empty parameter. In the documentation examples, substituting Diff for Diff2 gives the same results with the same number of typed characters, except in the last 2 examples using named headers, which aren't supported by (see the test cases). —Salton Finneger (talk) 15:55, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
* Yes! I actually updated the sandbox to totally implement in terms of . You can see comparisons in the latter parts of the test cases. If someone wants to copy the sandbox to the main template that would be great. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:09, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Specifying a section but no label
Any thoughts on ?
Thanks.

WMI Integration
Invoke any WMI query directly from a PowerShell cmdlet. Because the Tachyon platform handles the transport and execution of the underlying instruction, you do not need to have enabled WinRM to use this functionality.
Invoking a WMI query
You invoke a WMI query using the invoke-tachyonwmiquery cmdlet
Invoke-TachyonWMIQuery -Query <query> -Namespace <namespace> -TargetScope <scope>|-TargetFqdns <fqdn list>
Invokes the specified WMI query against the namespace defined. For example:
Invoke-TachyonWMIQuery -Query "select CommandLine from win32_process" -namespace "root\cimv2" -targetscope urth
Note
• This cmdlet uses the support instruction 1E-Exchange-ExecuteWMIQuery, which is included with the PowerShell Toolkit. You must upload this instruction to Tachyon before using this cmdlet.
• This cmdlet requires Tachyon 5.1 or later. It will throw an exception if it is run against an older version of Tachyon.
• An invalid WMI query or namespace will not cause an error. Instead, the device(s) which are unable to execute the query (e.g because the namespace is not valid on that device) will return no data. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Yours Fatally
"Yours Fatally" is a single released in 2004 by the UK hip hop/R&B group Big Brovaz. It was the first single from their second album, Re-Entry and the last single released with record label Epic Records.
The album Re-Entry was originally due for release in early 2005 but due to the underperformance of "Yours Fatally" and due to their record company dropping them, the album was not released until 9 April 2007, however it was decided that this song would still be included on the album.
The single became Big Brovaz' seventh UK hit but their third consecutive single to miss the top ten, peaking at number 15. Because "Yours Fatally" was the first single from their second album, it was viewed to have underperformed considerably. It did, however, outpeak the previous single "We Wanna Thank You (The Things You Do)". The single was not released outside the UK.
"Yours Fatally" was the final single released with group member Dion, who decided not to re-join the group after their hiatus after they were dropped from Epic Records; however, her vocals were left on the version of "Yours Fatally" released on Re-Entry.

Thanks, — GabeMc (talk) 23:48, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
* Daniel Case (talk) 21:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
* Update: I'm going to make a light copy edit first, then go into my critique. Stay tuned. Daniel Case (talk) 06:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
OK. I am done. I will leave it to the requestor to look at the diffs and see what changes I made in copy editing. Basically, a lot of redundant phrasing was condensed (it's not necessary to say things like "Financial advisers X, Pink Floyd's financial planners") and some run-on sentences broken up. I also brought it to conformity with the MOS (use the percent symbol, and "million" as a stand-alone word rather than suffixed "-M") and consistency (per WP:MOSNUM, figures are used for most larger numbers ... the article had not always done so). I did my best to be mindful of style and usages unique to British English where I'm aware of them, but I still had to change some things for clarity's sake—I presume by Ezrin's "poor timekeeping skills", we mean what I wrote, that he often showed up late, and not that he couldn't help the musicians keep time? I also added the inflation template in two places (my first use of it in a British context), so we can better appreciate the scale of their financial loss.
When done, the copy edit has shaved about 800 bytes off the length of the article. About good enough, and not indicative of serious problems (a long time ago, I wound up taking 5K off Spyware during its FAR ... my record). Back in a bit ... Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Addendum: One thing does remain as a copy problem that I was unsure how to tag. Who is the person being quoted in this sentence, at the end of the third graf of the "Background" section: "Because the project's 26 tracks presented a challenge greater than the band's previous albums, 'Waters decided to bring in an outside producer and collaborator'"? Is it really necessary that this be in quotes? It sounds stylistically consistent with the rest of the sentence, and if it's from a source I don't really see why a direct quote is needed for something purely informative. Daniel Case (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Finetooth comment: Just butting in with a nit-picky side comment. My understanding of WP:MOS is that "percent" is preferred to the symbol in most simple cases. I rely heavily on the first sentence of the guidelines: "Generally, use either percent (American English) or per cent (British English) to indicate percentages in the body of an article." I think most exceptions to this are found in scientific articles, complex tables, and the demographics sections of articles about cities, but in this article, I'd go with "percent" rather than "%". Finetooth (talk) 18:07, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
* Fair enough ... it was just that when I started editing six years ago, we seemed to prefer the symbol. I much rather prefer the words because it's consistent with AP and Chicago styles, which I'm used to. I will edit appropriately. Daniel Case (talk) 18:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
OK, now the larger issues ...
* Images
First, the album cover may be a free image. It certainly qualifies as such under US law since, as a collection of common geometric shapes, it is ineligible for copyright. However, it was produced under British law, which has a lower threshold of originality, and as such I defer and note that there is apparently an active OTRS request at Commons. So I will let that process play out rather than changing the licensing myself.
Second, that's the only image in the article. We could use more to help its readability. Well-chosen and placed images break up the monontony of text and make it more likely readers will read the entire article. I see there are quote boxes and sound files already, but we could also at least have pictures of the band members, which we have on Commons (Not contemporary to this period, but it's better than nothing). And there are some pictures from later concert performances, as well (this one from Berlin would support the discussion of that performance in the article). Daniel Case (talk) 18:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
* Comprehensiveness
This article is very informative about the circumstances of The Wall ' s creation—I hadn't known about the financial difficulties the band was in, and given how much I know about this album, the first one I ever got when I was 12, the album that has become a cultural totem for my generation (those of us who are white, at least), that is saying a lot. The section on the recording, and in particular the disputed circumstances of Wright's departure, are also comprehensive.
However, that does leave me wanting to know more about some other things. And there are other sources that I'm aware of that could add much to the article.
* In a Musician interview sometime in the early 1990s, David Gilmour revealed what is now widely known and reported in the article, but was something of a shock when he shared it: that there had been a lot more outside musicians involved in the album than the backup singers credited. We learned only then that Nick Mason hadn't been able to come up with a drum part that worked for "Mother", so Jeff Porcaro was brought in; that Gilmour himself, having written the classical guitar interlude in "Is There Anybody Out There?", couldn't find the right way to play it so he got di Blasi to do it; and that he had played the fretless bass part in the break of "Hey You" because, as he put it, "Roger on a fretless? Oh please ..." If we can find this it would be great (But not easy as Musician folded more than a decade ago).
* The audio commentary for the movie is an excellent source that should be tapped, because Waters and Gerald Scarfe go into a lot of things related to the album as well. For starters, we learn more about the lingering Syd Barrett influence: that some of Bob Geldof's actions in the movie—the "wild staring eyes" watching TV while the cigarette burns down to his fingers, and the eyebrow and chest hair chaving—are also things Barrett did (the latter prior to his unexpected return to the studio while they were recording "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"). The lingering effect of Barrett's unfortunate departure from the band on Floyd and Waters in particular is a major aspect of the band's history, and it has occurred to me that Waters is lamenting that loss in the album as much as his father's. But someone else has to say that ... The most blatant memento of Syd Barrett, however, should be in the article in its own right: the secret backward message right before the vocals in "Empty Spaces". Barry Miles' Pink Floyd: A Visual Documentary would be a good source for the possible Syd Barrett connection, and how the message was discovered, if another one doesn't say it.
* In the film's commentary track, Waters cites "When the Tigers Broke Free", as a specific example of one of his original songs for the album removed after the early discussion mentioned in the article. The other band members (and, presumably, Ezrin as well) thought it was far too autobiographical and made the album entirely too much about Waters personally rather than the Pink character. I think he also discusses the removal of "What Shall We do Now?", since that song's in the movie as well.
* And speaking of that, the film's treatment of the music should be discussed in at least a separate subsection with a hatnote referring to the main article. The two tracks mentioned above were restored to the soundtrack, but "Hey You" was dropped (the scene filmed to it is one of the deleted scenes) because they couldn't find a way to make it add anything to the movie (and, I suppose, that's why the song plays such a large part in The Whale and the Squid years later (not just because The Who wouldn't let them use "Behind Blue Eyes"). "In the Flesh (reprise)" is also performed with a diegetic orchestra, and I think "Mother" was also staged differently as well.
* I also heard a radio interview with Waters once where he gives a fuller account of the phone call at the end of "Young Lust". He had arranged with a friend of his in England that at a particular time he would place a collect call as "Mr. Floyd" to "Mrs. Floyd" from LA to the friend, who would answer "Hello" and then hang up. The first call didn't work because the operator didn't seem to realize the situation apparently unfolding. The second operator did respond to the awkwardness of the situation, believing she'd inadvertently helped the caller catch his wife having an affair, and that was the one he used. This seems a much more credible version, to me, than that he called Mason. The call is clearly placed to the UK from the US ... when you hear the tones, it's one tone, then two tones repeated twice, corresponding to 011 (the US international access code) and 44 (the international code for the UK), followed by seven or eight tones corresponding to the British phone number. So if the call was placed to England, it couldn't be to Mason since he was a tax exile at the time too. If we found this it would make a livelier sentence about that. This is mentioned in the song article but tagged as needing a cite.
* We might also find where we can say how the album was a sticking point between Waters and Gilmour and Mason when he sued to get out of the partnership. Waters was very insistent on retaining the right to stage concert performances of The Wall, and gave up a lot for that.
* Might we have more discussion of the album musically? In particular its use of a motif: the melody line from "Another Brick in the Wall"
* We might also discuss its cultural impact. In addition to its status as a GenX icon, I think it might also be somewhere that this was the last critically and commercially successful rock opera/concept album (I don't really count Styx's Kilroy Was Here, because I don't think Styx wants to, either). It sort of brought to a close an era that Tommy had started (with some similar plot elements, interestingly enough). Hopefully a reliable source can be found to say these things ... we'll have to sweep Google Scholar.
* I think we could credibly have a subsection on its political impact. First, within a couple of months of its release, South Africa banned not just "Another Brick in the Wall" but the album as a whole because Colored schoolchildren in Elsie's River adopted the song as a protest against their substandard education. Given that we mentioned it was a hit single there we cannot not mention this. There's no source at the song article other than a New York Times article we can't get to without paying, but others mention this as well ... I know William Finnegan reports it in Crossing the Line; it's been mentioned in other histories of apartheid South Africa as well. Later, the Berlin concerts were an outgrowth of the fall of the Wall. I did see the Wall when it was up, and I remember just about every other English-speaking youth who visited West Berlin seemed to have succumbed to the desire to put some cute graffitti related to the album on the Wall. I might have a picture of some that I could scan. More recently, the Israel-West Bank barrier has inspired some similar activity ... including from Waters himself, who spray painted "Tear down the Wall!" on it, prompting an Israeli government spokesman to say something like "We don't need no education to know that it keeps out terrorists".
* Lastly, I think the bit about The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking should go into a note like the stuff about Warburg's later travails since it really impedes the narrative flow at that point.
That's all. Daniel Case (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
* Thank you Daniel for the comprehensive and insightful review. I will be too busy to address your comments until this coming saturday, the 15th, but I am excited to do so. — GabeMc (talk) 20:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Convert CVS repositories to Git
Vincent Danen shows you how to use the git-cvs plugin to convert CVS repositories to Git and reap the rewards of speed and efficiency that come with it.
A few weeks ago I found myself in the unenviable position of having to extract a patchset from an upstream CVS repository that spanned multiple files in multiple directories. Having gotten so used to subversion's concept of one commit resulting in one easily retrievable diff, it shocked me to realize just how far we've come in terms of version control.
For instance, when you commit to CVS, each file has its own distinct revision which prevents you from doing a diff of the entire repository if you want to know what has changed in commit number 30. In Subversion and Git, if you commit three files at once, you can very easily get a diff of the changes from that one commit. With CVS, you have to determine the differing revision for each of those three files and diff them individually, even if they were committed at the same time.
This makes trying to get a single coherent patch of multiple files out of CVS annoying at best, and downright infuriating at worst. Luckily, you can use the git-cvs plugin to convert a CVS repository into a Git repository, and it will do the behind-the-scenes magic to make these single-file-commits into coherent repository commits.
You must have the cvs-git plugin installed; on Fedora this can be done by installing the git-cvs package: yum install git-cvs cvsps (the cvsps utility is required to create the CVS patchsets). Once this is done, you can point Git to a CVS repository:
$ git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/classpath classpath
The above takes the GNU Classpath CVS repository located at cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/classpath and turns it into a local Git repository located in ./classpath/. Depending on the size of the CVS repository you are converting, this can take hours (the above literally took about 12 hours to accomplish).
Once it is done, you can use the git log command to view a changelog of the commits. Gone are the CVS version numbers for each file; instead you will see each commit is assigned a unique identifier that git uses to distinguish commits. Also notice that commits done at the same time, across multiple files, are now finally available as single commits.
By looking at the output of git log, you can see the commit ID of the changeset you want; note it and the commit ID of the previous commit. Now you can generate a diff of that changeset using:
$ git diff [new_revision] [old_revision]
The output of this is the entire changeset grouped together. Being able to get the difference between multiple files for a single commit in one command versus scouring individual files, finding each one's individual updated revision, and then putting the individual diffs together is a huge time saver. Well, if you don't account for the 12 hours it took to convert the repository in the first place (in all fairness, there is a lot of data there; the git log on that converted repository alone is 6MB of text). Of course, the cvsps tool alone can generate these patchsets as well but the conversion to Git allows for using all the other neat Git-related functionality as well.
If, for some reason, you have stuck with CVS and have not moved to Subversion or Git, there are easy conversion tools that work quite well and will offer some great new features and capabilities that really make it worth the switch.

GNNExplainer: Generating Explanations for Graph Neural Networks

Abstract
<p>Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a powerful tool for machine learning on graphs.GNNs combine node feature information with the graph structure by recursively passing neural messages along edges of the input graph. However, incorporating both graph structure and feature information leads to complex models, and explaining predictions made by GNNs remains unsolved. Here we propose GNNExplainer, the first general, model-agnostic approach for providing interpretable explanations for predictions of any GNN-based model on any graph-based machine learning task. Given an instance, GNNExplainer identifies a compact subgraph structure and a small subset of node features that have a crucial role in GNN's prediction. Further, GNNExplainer can generate consistent and concise explanations for an entire class of instances. We formulate GNNExplainer as an optimization task that maximizes the mutual information between a GNN's prediction and distribution of possible subgraph structures. Experiments on synthetic and real-world graphs show that our approach can identify important graph structures as well as node features, and outperforms baselines by 17.1% on average. GNNExplainer provides a variety of benefits, from the ability to visualize semantically relevant structures to interpretability, to giving insights into errors of faulty GNNs.</p> | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Thumb / Finger habit appliances
Thumb / Finger habit appliances
Thumb sucking is a natural reaction for some children and is fairly normal in the infancy of a child. Some babies start sucking their thumbs or fingers even before they’re even born. While a toddler sucking their thumb may seem harmless, persistent thumb sucking can have consequences for dental health.
Children typically stop thumb sucking on their own usually before they are four years old. However, frequent thumb sucking can negatively change the way growing jaws and teeth develop.
Frequent thumb or finger pressure behind the teeth can cause the upper teeth to move outward and the lower teeth to move inward. This creates misaligned teeth that can make speaking, biting, chewing, and normal jaw movement difficult.
Fortunately, pediatric dentists have an array of tools to help parents stop habitual thumb sucking in children older than three-years-old. During an office visit, the dentist will thoroughly examine teeth, take x-rays, and perform any needed tests. He or she can then determine if a thumb or finger habit appliance would be beneficial. Quitting the habit of sucking fingers is just like any other type of habit. It can be very difficult to stop. If your child is three years old and still sucking their thumb, come in to see us for some help in getting your child to quit their thumb sucking habit. We can make them a uniquely formed dental appliance that is placed in the child’s mouth that keeps the tongue from touching the gums behind their teeth.
A thumb/finger appliance is a custom-fitted wire guard that is worn to prevent wayward digits from touching the gums behind the front teeth. Whether it’s implanted or removable, this device keeps children from placing pressure on this area and takes the joy out of thumb sucking. Many children stop trying to suck their thumbs or fingers after wearing such an appliance for a few weeks and are back on the path toward healthier dental development. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

149 NON-TRANSFERRIN MEDIATED CELLULAR IRON UPTAKE IN THE ABSENCE OF DIVALENT METAL TRANSPORTER 1

Abstract
Transferrin-mediated endocytosis is the primary pathway by which cells obtain iron from plasma. When transferrin (Tf) is highly saturated, as in hemochromatosis, newly absorbed iron from the intestine is present in portal blood as non-Tf bound iron. Non-Tf bound iron is rapidly cleared by the liver and it is assumed that the divalent metal transporter 1 (Dmt1) is responsible for this clearance. Dmt1, along with a surface reductase, mediates cellular uptake of ferrous iron. The Dmt1-reductase system is also present on the luminal surface of enterocytes and mediates absorption of inorganic iron from the diet. Dmt1 plays a second central role in iron delivery to cells by exporting iron liberated from Tf in the acidified endosome into the cytosol. Mice with Dmt1 mutations malabsorb iron and display a microcytic anemia. Parenteral iron does not correct this phenotype because red cells cannot export endosome iron for heme synthesis. Dmt1 is pH-sensitive with optimal activity at pH 5.5. This is consistent with its role in the duodenum and endosome, but the pH of plasma is neutral and Dmt1-mediated iron uptake by the liver would not be efficient. Mice with a disrupted Dmt1 gene (Dmt1-/-) were utilized to determine if cells could import non-Tf iron from plasma in the absence of Dmt1. Tf saturation was elevated in Dmt1 -/-, Dmt1 +/- and Dmt1 +/+ mice by retroorbital injection of iron citrate (FeCit). Ten minutes later, 59Fe was injected into the opposite retroorbital sinus and after an additional 10 min the distribution of radiolabel analyzed. Control Dmt1 +/+ mice injected with PBS followed by 59Fe retained approximately 37% of the total 59Fe counts in blood as Tf(59Fe)2 and 10% of total counts were found in the liver. In contrast, Dmt1 +/+ mice injected with FeCit followed by 59Fe, retained only 3% of total 59Fe in blood and 56% localized to liver. 59Fe distribution in Dmt1 +/- and Dmt1 +/+ was similar. Dmt1-/- mice injected with FeCit followed by 59Fe, retained 16% in blood and 30% in liver. This indicates that Dmt1 -/- mice are able to take up non-Tf iron from the plasma suggesting the presence of an alternate iron transporter(s). Dmt1 +/+ and Dmt1 +/- mice injected with FeCit distributed relatively little 59Fe to the spleen or heart (≤1%). Dmt1 -/- mice had 2.4% and 1.8% respectively in spleen and heart, suggesting a higher level of expression of the putative second transporter in these organs. The findings in Dmt1 -/- mice under conditions of high Tf saturation indicate the presence of an alternate transporter of non-Tf iron that is functional at the neutral pH of plasma.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a Southern Rock band, formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1964. The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition before three members and one road crew member died in an airplane crash in 1977. The band reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with lead singer Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny as the frontman.

Opinion | Jimmy Carter Lusts for a Trump Posting
Maureen Dowd PLAINS, Ga. — Most people would run away screaming at the thought of working for a boss who humiliates subordinates in public, throttles them in private, demands constant flattery, spends all day watching cable TV and behaves in a wildly unpredictable way. And yet, there is someone who is eager to work for President Trump. Curious, but it’s a Democrat. And even curiouser, it’s a fellow member of the presidents club. And curiousest, it’s someone whom Trump has disparaged on Twitter as one of the worst presidents in history. Miracles can happen. No one knows that better than Jimmy Carter, who defied all odds 40 years ago to leap from his peanut farm to the White House and defied all odds again two years ago to beat brain cancer. The 93-year-old would like to pull another rabbit out of a hat — just not a killer rabbit — and enter into a productive partnership with Donald Trump over North Korea. When you think about it, though, it makes sense. One of the basic premises of the Carter Center is that you should talk to dictators. The closest our two countries had come until now to resuming the Korean War was in 1994. Carter flew into Pyongyang on his own over the objections of President Bill Clinton and struck a deal with Kim Il-sung, the grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong-un, and the man the grandson models himself on — right down to his hairstyle. North Korea secretly cheated on the deal by pursuing another path to a bomb just four years later. So is it time for another Carter diplomatic mission, and would he do it for Trump, his polar opposite in so many ways? “I would go, yes,” he said, wearing a big “JC” belt buckle and sipping coffee in his ranch house, which is chockablock with Carter family paintings and with furniture he made himself, including his four-poster bed. Rosalynn sits nearby, chiming in slyly at moments. I told him that the big shots in Washington were terrified about the childish, bellicose tit-for-tat tweeting battle between the Dotard and Little Rocket Man. “I’m afraid, too, of a situation,” he said. “I don’t know what they’ll do. Because they want to save their regime. And we greatly overestimate China’s influence on North Korea. Particularly to Kim Jong-un. He’s never, so far as I know, been to China.” (Who knows if he made a surreptitious trip.) Carter continued, “And they have no relationship. Kim Jong-il did go to China and was very close to them.” He said that the “unpredictable” Kim Jong-un makes him more nervous than his father, Kim Jong-il, and that if the young leader thinks Trump will act against him, he could do something pre-emptive. “I think he’s now got advanced nuclear weaponry that can destroy the Korean Peninsula and Japan, and some of our outlying territories in the Pacific, maybe even our mainland,” Carter explained. He said he has talked to Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser, who is a good friend, including at Zbigniew Brzezinski’s funeral when McMaster asked to sit next to Carter, but has so far gotten a negative response. “I told him that I was available if they ever need me,” he said. When I asked about Trump’s souring our image in the world, Carter defended his successor. “Well, he might be escalating it but I think that precedes Trump,” he said. “The United States has been the dominant character in the whole world and now we’re not anymore. And we’re not going to be. Russia’s coming back and India and China are coming forward.” Holy malaise. He also said he liked Trump’s initiative reaching out to Saudi Arabia. He doesn’t know Jared Kushner but is not totally dismissive of the idea that the son-in-law could succeed where others have failed. “I’ve seen in the Arab world, including the Palestinian world,” he said, “the high esteem that they pay to a member of one’s own family.” Indeed, Carter was harder on Obama during the interview than he was on Trump. Both Carter and Trump had stern, demanding fathers. “Daddy expected me to be perfect,” Carter told me. “So I obeyed his orders and his wishes.” Saying that he did not think “there’s much hope now that Israelis will ever permit a two-state solution,” he knocked Obama on the Middle East: “He made some very wonderful statements, in my opinion, when he first got in office, and then he reneged on that.” Recalling that “we have 22 votes in our family and Obama got all 22 of them,” he complained that Obama had “refused” to talk to North Korea more, and then Carter lamented the fact that Obama joined in the bombing of Yemen, which Carter says is the most interesting place he’s ever been. (He even tried chewing khat, an addictive shrub that acts like amphetamines.) I asked if he had Obama’s email address. “No,” he said flatly. I wondered about his relationship with other presidents, given his body language in the famous picture where he stood off to the side, which he told Brian Williams was deliberate because “I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents.” “I had my best relationship, when he was in office, with George H. W. Bush,” he said. Carter is also not as bothered as some by Trump’s Putin bromance. “At the Carter Center,” he said, “we deal with Putin and the Russians quite frequently concerning Syria.” Did the Russians purloin the election from Hillary? “Rosie and I have a difference of opinion on that,” he said. She looked over archly. “They obviously did,” she said. He said: “I don’t think there’s any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes.” Rosalynn pressed, “The drip-drip-drip about Hillary.” Carter noted that in the primary, “We voted for Sanders.” I asked the famously ethical Carter what he made of Obama’s post-presidential string of $400,000 speeches. “I don’t care if he gets rich or Clinton gets rich or whatever,” he said. “I don’t want to get into a bragging position; I’m not trying to do that. But I announced when I was defeated I was not going to be on corporate boards, I was not going to try to enrich myself with speeches. I was patterning my policy after Harry Truman.” When I compared the Clinton Foundation with the Carter Center, Carter noted: “Rosie and I put money in the Carter Center. We never take any out.” I wondered how the starchy Carter, who put out a White House edict that nobody could fly first class, felt about the louche Trump White House, where conflict of interest has been replaced by confluence of interest. “I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about,” Carter replied. “I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.” Since Rosalynn’s focus as first lady was mental health, I asked her if we should break the last taboo and let presidents have a White House shrink. “I think it might help them,” she said with a smile. She told me that she was left out of a first ladies lunch held by Michelle Obama on the issue of mental health, making it clear that she was still hurt. On the issue of tearing down Confederate statues, the former president mused: “That’s a hard one for me. My great-grandfather was at Gettysburg on the Southern side and his two brothers were with him in the Sumter artillery. One of them was wounded but none of them were killed. I never have looked on the carvings on Stone Mountain or the statues as being racist in their intent. But I can understand African-Americans’ aversion to them, and I sympathize with them. But I don’t have any objection to them being labeled with explanatory labels or that sort of thing.” On the issue of N.F.L. players kneeling, Carter was less sympathetic: “I think they ought to find a different way to object, to demonstrate. I would rather see all the players stand during the American anthem.” I asked if he thought the president was deepening racial divisions. “Yes, I think he is exacerbating it,” he said. “But maybe not deliberately.” As a genuinely pious man, how does he feel about the Two Corinthians president bonding with evangelical voters, who do not desert Trump no matter how coarse his language or how upsetting the “Access Hollywood” tape was. Don’t the evangelicals seem cynical to stick? “Apparently not,” he replied. In “The Art of the Deal,” Trump wrote that Carter came to his office to ask for $5 million for his presidential library. Trump was impressed that Carter had “the nerve, the guts” to ask for something so “extraordinary,” but didn’t give it to him. “He bragged about it,” Carter said wryly. “That was one of his major selling points: ‘I turned down Jimmy Carter.’” But now the indefatigable Carter is back with another nervy proposal. Will Trump bite? | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
how to remove an element in lxml

Question :
how to remove an element in lxml
I need to completely remove elements, based on the contents of an attribute, using python’s lxml. Example:
import lxml.etree as et
xml="""
<groceries>
<fruit state="rotten">apple</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="rotten">mango</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>
"""
tree=et.fromstring(xml)
for bad in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
#remove this element from the tree
print et.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True)
I would like this to print:
<groceries>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>
Is there a way to do this without storing a temporary variable and printing to it manually, as:
newxml="<groceries>n"
for elt in tree.xpath('//fruit[@state='fresh']'):
newxml+=et.tostring(elt)
newxml+="</groceries>"
Asked By: ewok

Answer #1:
Use the remove method of an xmlElement :
tree=et.fromstring(xml)
for bad in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
bad.getparent().remove(bad) # here I grab the parent of the element to call the remove directly on it
print et.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True)
If I had to compare with the @Acorn version, mine will work even if the elements to remove are not directly under the root node of your xml.
Answered By: ewok
Answer #2:
You’re looking for the remove function. Call the tree’s remove method and pass it a subelement to remove.
import lxml.etree as et
xml="""
<groceries>
<fruit state="rotten">apple</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<punnet>
<fruit state="rotten">strawberry</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">blueberry</fruit>
</punnet>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="rotten">mango</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>
"""
tree=et.fromstring(xml)
for bad in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
bad.getparent().remove(bad)
print et.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True)
Result:
<groceries>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>

Answer #3:
I met one situation:
<div>
<script>
some code
</script>
text here
</div>
div.remove(script) will remove the text here part which I didn’t mean to.
following the answer here, I found that etree.strip_elements is a better solution for me, which you can control whether or not you will remove the text behind with with_tail=(bool) param.
But still I don’t know if this can use xpath filter for tag. Just put this for informing.
Here is the doc:
strip_elements(tree_or_element, *tag_names, with_tail=True)
Delete all elements with the provided tag names from a tree or
subtree. This will remove the elements and their entire subtree,
including all their attributes, text content and descendants. It
will also remove the tail text of the element unless you
explicitly set the with_tail keyword argument option to False.
Tag names can contain wildcards as in _Element.iter.
Note that this will not delete the element (or ElementTree root
element) that you passed even if it matches. It will only treat
its descendants. If you want to include the root element, check
its tag name directly before even calling this function.
Example usage::
strip_elements(some_element,
'simpletagname', # non-namespaced tag
'{http://some/ns}tagname', # namespaced tag
'{http://some/other/ns}*' # any tag from a namespace
lxml.etree.Comment # comments
)
Answered By: Acorn
Answer #4:
As already mentioned, you can use the remove() method to delete (sub)elements from the tree:
for bad in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
bad.getparent().remove(bad)
But it removes the element including its tail, which is a problem if you are processing mixed-content documents like HTML:
<div><fruit state="rotten">avocado</fruit> Hello!</div>
Becomes
<div></div>
Which is I suppose what you not always want 🙂
I have created helper function to remove just the element and keep its tail:
def remove_element(el):
parent = el.getparent()
if el.tail.strip():
prev = el.getprevious()
if prev:
prev.tail = (prev.tail or '') + el.tail
else:
parent.text = (parent.text or '') + el.tail
parent.remove(el)
for bad in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
remove_element(bad)
This way it will keep the tail text:
<div> Hello!</div>
Answered By: zephor
Answer #5:
You could also use html from lxml to solve that:
from lxml import html
xml="""
<groceries>
<fruit state="rotten">apple</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="rotten">mango</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>
"""
tree = html.fromstring(xml)
print("//BEFORE")
print(html.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True).decode("utf-8"))
for i in tree.xpath("//fruit[@state='rotten']"):
i.drop_tree()
print("//AFTER")
print(html.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True).decode("utf-8"))
It should output this:
//BEFORE
<groceries>
<fruit state="rotten">apple</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="rotten">mango</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>
</groceries>
//AFTER
<groceries>
<fruit state="fresh">pear</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">starfruit</fruit>
<fruit state="fresh">peach</fruit>

The Mole Band were just the epitome of the sixties. Just the Moles! Unknown outside their huge underground following. But just the greatest rock 'n roll band of their generation. There were the Stones, the Beatles, selling well and selling their soul and then there were The Moles. Raw and uncut, just rock'n roll. Where are they now? Perhaps if they see this they will get together again. Let's hope so! In the late 1960s and early 1970s, they sang in small-time English bands such while working in careers in Stock Broking, Banking, Shipping and the Armed Forces. In 1968 they recorded a few demo tracks in London which have been lost (needs confirmation)like the eralier album, who would shortly found the base of a rock n’ roll movement that wouldn’t die. More Essex Estuary Blues than Surrey Delta for sure. Their first release on a compilation album did nothing until they released their own covers and new written material on vinyl called “Moles, who digs ‘em” for Deal Records (note needed) set the pattern for Essex blues. The Essex Estuary Blues sound. More closely the Roding Bottom Blue Note...... They began doing the rounds of the British pub rock scene, The 'Mem, Drill hall, often augmented at times by a German element from ‘Dirty Weekend’ and ‘Free Beer’ and especially ‘Streem’ touring permanently in Germany. The band's next album, Moling as released to family and friends in 1968 and was followed (relentlessly) by the stylistically similar Moling 2 (years later and badly titled as it was their third album) a mixture of old rock and ballads, these albums reflected The Moles early influences (from Ravitz & Lander, Tommy Steel, Joe Brown with a bit of Buddy and Elvis thrown in). On these albums were all the songs the band knew and played live and which never hit the Top 40 in the UK (or elsewhere as far as we know). Mainly playing in pubs and small venues they were well know in their local area of London and began making an impression in Germany. Appearing on Dutch TV (confirmation needed) after being appalled at seeing the Dolly Dots appearing and badly lip sinking. The band in various guises and members spent most of the late seventies and eighties in Germany on the service trail and apart from a video most of the recordings (nearly all made at a radio station in Koln) have completely vanished. Drifting apart the band played in other bands around Germany and ended up in the west of England, Australia and the Czech Republic, still mostly gigging locally (no change from the early years) in pubs and clubs | WIKI |

Glitter manufacturing
The first production of modern plastic glitter is credited to the American machinist Henry Ruschmann, Sr., who found a way to cut sheets of plastic such as mylar into glitter in 1934. During World War II, glass glitter became unavailable so Ruschmann found a market for scrap plastics, which were ground into glitter. In 1943, he purchased Meadowbrook Farm in Bernardsville, New Jersey where he founded Meadowbrook Inventions, Inc. to produce industrial glitter. Decades later he filed a patent for a mechanism for cross-cutting films as well as other related inventions.
Today over 20,000 varieties of glitter are manufactured in a vast number of different colors, sizes, and materials. One estimate suggests 10 e6lb of glitter was either purchased or produced between the years of 1989 and 2009 however the source provides no evidence or reference point.

Cannabinoids in Pediatrics
Despite its controversial nature, the use of medical marijuana and cannabis-derived medicinal products grows more popular with each passing year. As of November 2016, over 40 states have passed legislation regarding the use of either medical marijuana or cannabidiol products. This review will deliver the history of marijuana use and legislation in the United States in addition to the currently available medical literature to equip pediatric health care providers with resources to provide patients and their parents the best recommendation for safe and appropriate use of cannabis-containing compounds.
Medical Marijuana: Just the Beginning of a Long, Strange Trip?
Medical marijuana continues to gain acceptance and become legalized in many states. Various species of the marijuana plant have been cultivated, and this plant can contain up to 100 active compounds known as cannabinoids. Two cannabinoids seem the most clinically relevant: Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which tends to produce the psychotropic effects commonly associated with marijuana, and cannabidiol (CBD), which may produce therapeutic effects without appreciable psychoactive properties. Although there is still a need for randomized controlled trials, preliminary studies have suggested that medical marijuana and related cannabinoids may be beneficial in treating people with chronic pain, inflammation, spasticity and other conditions.
Gaps in our understanding of how economically important compounds such as cannabinoids are produced are being identified using next-generation ‘omics’ to rapidly advance biochemical breakthroughs at an unprecedented rate
Recently, cannabis has been suggested as a potential alternative therapy for refractory epilepsy, which affects 30% of epilepsy, both adults and children, who do not respond to current medications. There is a large unmet medical need for new antiepileptics that would not interfere with normal function in patients with refractory epilepsy and conditions associated with refractory seizures. The two chief cannabinoids are Δ-9-tetrahyrdrocannabinol, the major psychoactive component of marijuana, and cannabidiol (CBD), the major nonpsychoactive component of marijuana. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Deputy Governor of the Bank of England
A Deputy Governor of the Bank of England is the holder of one of a small number of senior positions at the Bank of England, reporting directly to the Governor.
According to the original charter of 27 July 1694 the Bank's affairs would be supervised by a Governor, the Deputy Governor and 24 directors. Since then, however, the role of Deputy Governor has been split and redefined three times (by the Bank of England Act 1998, the Financial Services Act 2012 and again in 2014), such that, as of May 2016, there are four Deputy Governors (Sir Jon Cunliffe, Ben Broadbent, Sam Woods and Sir David Ramsden). They have special responsibility for financial stability, monetary policy, prudential regulation and markets and banking respectively. In 2013, the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) was created and has the same status and remuneration as a Deputy Governor.
Under Schedule 1 of the Bank of England Act 1998 (as amended), Deputy Governors are appointed for five year terms, and are term-limited to two terms.
With specific responsibility (1998–present)
The Bank of England Act 1998, which came into force on 1 June 1998, created a second Deputy Governorship. Clementi became Deputy Governor for Financial Stability for the rest of his term, and Mervyn King became the first Deputy Governor for Monetary Policy.
Chief operating officers
In June 2013, the position of chief operating officer (COO) of the Bank of England was created. The COO has responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Bank. They have the same status and remuneration as a Deputy Governor. | WIKI |

Python Question
How to skip an unknown number of empty lines before header on pandas.read_csv?
I want to read a dataframe from a csv file where the header is not in the first line. For example:
In [1]: import pandas as pd
In [2]: import io
In [3]: temp=u"""#Comment 1
...: #Comment 2
...:
...: #The previous line is empty
...: Header1|Header2|Header3
...: 1|2|3
...: 4|5|6
...: 7|8|9"""
In [4]: df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(temp), sep="|", comment="#",
...: skiprows=4).dropna()
In [5]: df
Out[5]:
Header1 Header2 Header3
0 1 2 3
1 4 5 6
2 7 8 9
[3 rows x 3 columns]
The problem with the above code is that I don't now how many lines will exist before the header, therefore, I cannot use
skiprows=4
as I did here.
I aware I can iterate through the file, as in the question Read pandas dataframe from csv beginning with non-fix header.
What I am looking for is a simpler solution, like making
pandas.read_csv
disregard any empty line and taking the first non-empty line as the header.
Answer
You need to set skip_blank_lines=True
df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(temp), sep="|", comment="#", skip_blank_lines=True).dropna() | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Equipment Safety and also Warm Inspection
A great amount of warm is generated by industrial processes. The moving components of makers develops friction which consequently produces heat. The quantity of generated heat has to be managed to secure tools from wear and also other problems related to exceedingly heats. Lubes are applied between moving components to reduce friction and the resulting warm. Lubrication, nevertheless, is not a fool-proof option to warm regulation.
Lubes wear away gradually and also when exposed to specific procedure conditions. It should be on a regular basis changed to ensure tools safety and security when it come to warmth generation. Each lubrication item has actually an expected lifespan that overviews lube professionals schedule replacements. Nonetheless, there are some problems such as contamination that can cause significantly reduced life of lube as well as threaten the equipment and endanger the safety of the operator.
Devices’s need to be regularly monitored as well as evaluated for warmth issues. An important tool for these jobs is the infrared camera.
Infrared video cameras are dimension instruments that display an image or video clip showing the temperature of various items or sections consisted of in the photo. These devices can be made use of to gauge temperature level from within safe distance. Infrared cameras been available in different types. Some are readily available as portable gadgets powered by a rechargeable battery while others are installed on wall surfaces or ceilings similar to security electronic cameras which are connected to a central computer manned by overseeing personnel.
The portable infrared electronic camera is fit for executing evaluations on tough to reach places while the various other is used mainly for tracking.
Powder Coating Your Bike Tank
Gasoline is tough on paint. Over time, the finish on your bike tank will become dull or faded from spills and gasoline vapor from when you are refueling. This can make your bike look old and worn. You can restore the look of your bike with powder coating.
Powder coating uses thermoplastic polymer to produce a hard and durable finish. The thermoplastic polymer comes in the form of powder which is electrostatically applied using a special powder coating gun. By electrostatically, this means that electricity is used to magnetize the work piece so that the polymer powders attach onto it. The work piece is then heated to a specific temperature which causes the polymer powder to melt and form a skin over the work piece.
Plenty of shops provide powder coating services. However, you can also do it yourself. Powder coating is not an overly complicated process.. Yes, you will need some equipment like a powder coating gun, infrared lamps, and an infrared camera. While these items may seem like a significant investment, there is the fact that you can use them for various projects in the future.
The infrared lamps and infrared camera are your alternative to industrial ovens that are used by some shops. The infrared lamps produce sufficient heat for almost all powder applications. The infrared camera is used for tuning the temperature and making sure that your gas tank is getting heated evenly.
Powder coating your bike tank should be quite easy. All you need is to prep the surface by removing all the original finish and cleaning the surface. Apply the polymer powder with the color of your choosing to the electrically-charged tank and then bake it according to specifications. That is all there is to it. And now you have a very nice-looking tank and bike.
Powder Coating Motorcycle Wheels
Changing the color of the wheels is an excellent way of changing and personalizing the look of your bike. Unlike a full-body paint job, you do not need any permit from the vehicle regulatory agency to make such modification to your bike. It is also quite simple to do. Some people use spray cans and, in most instances, the results are fine. A popular method nowadays involves the use of air-drying rubber coating. The rubber coating is durable and provides great looking finish, available in matte and gloss. However, if you want professional-grade finish, your best option is with powder coating. You can take your wheels to a shop that performs powder coating or you can do it yourself. Powder coating is actually a very straightforward process, one that you can do on your yard or in your garage shop if you have enough space. It might seem an intimidating process at first, but once you have learned it, you’ll be very happy with how useful powder coating actually is. Professional shops use industrial oven for powder coating. However, you can get by with the use of infrared lamps and infrared camera. You will also need a powder coating gun.
Just like any other finishing process, powder coating starts with surface preparation. Remove the original paint from the wheel using appropriate method for the type of paint. There are paint removal solutions, heat gun, and wire brush to aid you. Do everything you need to not leave any of the original paint. Clean it and sand it as many times as needed until the surface is completely clean.
You can now proceed to ground the wheel. Most powder coating guns come with a grounding kit. The grounding kit delivers electric current to the wheel to magnetize it and make the powder paint stick to it. Proper grounding is needed if you want the best result. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Wall Street pros say stocks will accelerate gains in the second half
The S&P 500 just posted its best first half in more than two decades, and a majority of Wall Street professionals who responded to a CNBC survey said they think stocks can keep climbing from here. More than 50% of respondents to the "Halftime Report Stock Survey" said their outlook remains positive, with 65% saying that the U.S. continues to be the most attractive place to invest. The S&P may be at an all-time high, but 66% of respondents said equities are correctly valued, with 15% saying they look cheap. The survey was sent to strategists, investors and traders, including those who appear on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report." Twenty-six responded to the survey. Stocks may have closed out the second quarter on a high note — it was the Dow's best June since 1938, the S&P's since 1955 — but the looming threat of a trade war and a global growth slowdown did rock the market. Throughout the quarter the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note moved lower, and gold rallied as investors piled into these traditional safety trades. But the pros took advantage of uncertainty, with 44% of respondents saying that declining rates prompted them to increase their exposure to equities and take on additional risk. And one area of the market where they continue to find value is in technology stocks. Tech is the top-performing sector this year after gaining 26% — the sector's best first half since 1998 — and a majority of respondents indicated that they believe the group will continue to lead, with 84% calling it a top pick. Financials was another popular choice among those surveyed, with 40% saying they favor the sector. Bank stocks gained roughly 7% in the second quarter, outpacing the other 10 S&P sectors. Health care and industrials got 40% and 32% of votes, respectively, with staples, real estate and communication services each getting 16%. Stocks' stellar June followed an abysmal May, at which point a growing number of investors called for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in order to keep the economy growing. At its June meeting the Fed decided to hold rates steady but indicated that a future rate cut isn't out of the question should economic conditions change. The central bank meets again at the end of the month, and 54% of those surveyed said they believe it should cut rates. The S&P 500 soared to record highs on Monday following a temporary reprieve in the U.S.-China trade negotiations, as President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to suspend imposing additional tariffs. But uncertainty continues to surround trade between the world's two largest economies. Talks have now been going on for more than a year, and China has retaliated after the U.S. slapped tariffs on more than $250 billion worth of Chinese imports. Some 46% of survey respondents said that a trade war continues to be the biggest risk in the market, with 38% citing an economic slowdown and 15% geopolitical risk. Among the strategists surveyed, the U.S. remains the most popular place to invest, followed by emerging markets, which got nearly a third of the vote. The EEM, which is an ETF that tracks emerging economies, gained more than 5% in June for its second-best month of the year. While strategists remain positive on the outlook for the second half, the number of respondents who said their view had turned neutral or negative was higher than in prior quarters. A total of 38% said they are neutral, compared with just 30% last quarter, and for the first time some respondents said they are negative. Additionally, while a majority of those surveyed view declining rates as a buying opportunity, 32% did say that it made them nervous about the overall health of the market, and just under one quarter said it made them want to sit on the sidelines. — Fred Imbert and Patty Martell contributed reporting. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Google overhauls Nest Aware cloud recording plan – TechCrunch
Google is updating the Nest Mini today, the device formerly known as Google Home Mini. And the company used this opportunity to announce an update to its home awareness product, Nest Aware. If you have Nest security cameras, you can subscribe to a Nest Aware plan. It currently costs $5 a month for five-day video history, $10 per month for 10-day history and $30 per month for 30-day history. All plans include continuous recording, intelligence alerts, clips and more. But it can get complicated when you have multiple cameras. Additional cameras require their own subscription plan, but those additional plans are a bit cheaper. Google is going to simplify all that with plans that cover your whole home. New plans will cost $6 per month for 30-day event history and $12 per month for 60-day event history as well as 10-day 24/7 video history. As you can see, you now have to pay $12 per month for continuous recording as the basic plan doesn’t include continuous recording anymore. But if you have eight cameras, you’ll only have to pay for a single subscription. New plans will roll out in early 2020 with the option to switch to the new plans. And now, Nest Mini and Nest Hubs integrate with Nest Aware. For instance, when your non-connected smoke detector is triggered by a fire, your Nest Mini will notice the alarm and send you a push notification. You can listen live to confirm that it is a smoke alarm. You can confirm the alarm and the Home app then calls 911 or your local emergency service directly. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Jan Reker
Jan Reker (, born 3 June 1948) is a Dutch football manager and director.
Reker started his coaching career in the Willem II and PSV Eindhoven youth ranks, which was followed up by the assistant manager role at VVV-Venlo and PSV. After half a season as caretaker in 1980, Reker officially served as manager of PSV between 1983 and 1986, winning the Eredivisie title in his last year. He also coached VVV, Roda JC, Willem II and lastly MVV Maastricht.
In 1996, Reker became chairman of the Dutch Association of Professional Football Coaches. In 2007, he was appointed general manager at PSV. Reker faced the Eredivisie title win in his first year, but subsequent poor performances in later years. Ronald Koeman and Huub Stevens resigned, and an internal struggle ensued between Reker and other staff, including a public dispute between him and goalkeeper Gomes. Fan criticism towards Reker reached a peak in early 2009 after a disappointing season. A year later, a dispute between him and the PSV board led to his departure.
Early life
Reker was born in the Strijp area in Eindhoven; his father worked as a greengrocer. He played youth football at amateur club LEW and FC Eindhoven. Reker was educated in sport management and earned a degree as a commando during his conscription. He never played professional football; after his military service he committed himself to football coaching.
Managerial career
In 1969, Reker became youth coach at Willem II. Later, he also served as youth coach and academy director at PSV Eindhoven. In 1977, Reker moved to VVV-Venlo to become assistant manager. After three years, he returned to PSV to serve as assistant manager under Kees Rijvers. When Rijvers was sacked in January 1980, Reker was chosen as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. After Thijs Libregts was appointed as the new PSV manager in 1981, Reker returned to his assistant position. Libregts left in 1983 and PSV subsequently chose Reker as the new coach. He brought in Guus Hiddink as an assistant manager from De Graafschap, but success remained absent in 1984 and 1985. It prompted PSV to choose Hans Kraay as director of football and a batch of new players like Ruud Gullit and Eric Gerets. With Kraay, Reker and Hiddink, PSV secured the Eredivisie title in the 1985-86 season.
In 1986, Reker returned to VVV-Venlo as director of football and manager. With Sef Vergoossen as coach, they reached the fifth place in the Eredivisie twice. After two years, he left for Roda JC as the successor of Rob Jacobs. Reker appointed Willy van der Kuijlen as his assistant. In the 1988-89 season, Roda JC reached the fifth place in the Eredivisie, narrowly missing out on European qualification. The team reached the UEFA Cup third round, where it was eliminated by Sredets Sofia after penalties (4-4 on aggregate). After the first (away) match against Sofia, Reker was suspended for two matches by UEFA after claiming that Reker had provoked the home crowd. Things improved in the 1989-90 season, when Roda JC claimed the first spot in the Eredivisie after ten league rounds, and were second at the winter break. Reker also signed a new five-year contract. Eventually, Roda JC qualified for European football. In Reker's third season, Roda suffered an early elimination in the UEFA Cup against AS Monaco. After disappointing league performances, the relationship between Reker and chairman Nol Hendriks deteriorated. Even though Roda JC finished tenth in the Eredivisie and reached the KNVB Cup semi-finals, Reker decided to resign at the end of the season.
In October 1991, Reker succeeded Piet de Visser as coach of Willem II. During his three-year period at the club, he finished 12th, 10th and eighth in the league. In January 1995, Reker announced he would leave Willem II at the end of the season. But after the team lost a match against FC Dordrecht (3-0) in March, Reker decided to quit immediately. At that point, he had signed a three-year contract with MVV to become their manager in July 1995. In Maastricht, he replaced Sef Vergoossen who in turn became MVV's director of football. But when MVV were facing relegation in May, Vergoossen decided to quit early, forcing Reker to step in for the remaining matches. He could not prevent MVV from relegation, and the team had to play in the Eerste Divisie for the 1995–96 season. After a dismal start of the league, with MVV in last place after nine matches, Reker was sacked in October. It turned out to be Reker's last job as head coach; after suffering a back injury during a renovation of his house, he had trouble standing for long periods, denying him any future coaching jobs.
Board positions
In 1990, Reker founded the Coaches Betaald Voetbal (Association of Professional Football Coaches). He started out as the treasurer of the organization, but was appointed as the director in 1996. Being in charge of CBV, Reker faced a few problems with its members. In 1999, Reker expelled Co Adriaanse after he had insulted Frank Rijkaard in an interview. Two years later, Aad de Mos was also excluded after an interview - this time for ridiculing Louis van Gaal (one of the CBV founders). In 2007, it was Van Gaal himself who separated from the CBV, after his critique on Marco van Basten was met with a reprimand from Reker.
In July 2007, Reker left his job at CBV to become general manager of PSV Eindhoven. He succeeded chairman Frits Schuitema. PSV chose to abolish the position of the chairman and replaced it with a board of directors and a general manager, so Reker was the first man with this title. PSV started the 2007–08 season by spending €15,4 million on Danny Koevermans, Danko Lazović and Balázs Dzsudzsák, while selling Arouna Koné for €12 million. In September, PSV were ejected from the KNVB Cup by the football association after fielding a suspended Manuel da Costa in the match against Jong SC Heerenveen. Reker called the error an “inexcusable blunder” and started an investigation on the matter. In October, Reker had to let coach Ronald Koeman go to Valencia, after receiving an offer from Spain and Koeman himself eager to accept it. After asking Jan Wouters to fill in for the first few matches, Reker brought Sef Vergoossen in as caretaker manager, with Dwight Lodeweges as his assistant. Vergoossen was chosen after Martin Jol and Fred Rutten rejected the offer. Eventually, PSV won the Eredivisie title in 2008, played Champions League and reached the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, leading up to a 29.4 million euros net profit in the 2007–08 season.
Behind the scenes, Reker faced a power struggle with several people; most notably player agent Vlado Lemić. He had close ties with director of football Stan Valckx, scout Piet de Visser, former coaches Guus Hiddink and Koeman, and players including Gomes. The PSV staff would profit from his extensive network – the club signed players like Mateja Kežman and Alex through him, among others. Lemic's growing influence and questionable financial compensations received resistance from the PSV directors. After Reker's arrival, he attempted to minimize Lemic's power, which was not appreciated by Lemic and his allies. After the 2008 league title, Gomes spoke out against Reker in an interview. Citing a lack of trust, Gomes issues an ultimatum: either Reker leaves, or he will leave himself. Valckx calls Reker negligent and De Visser resigned, claiming that he could not handle Reker's unreliability anymore. Reker, backed by the board of directors, proceeded to sack Valckx and deny Lemic entry to the PSV premises. Gomes, immensely popular with fans, was sold to Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, Reker also faced criticism from goalkeeper coach Joop Hiele, who was forced to leave PSV after Huub Stevens was appointed as the new manager, and Erwin Koeman, who expected to be offered the role of assistant manager – to no avail. During the 2008 summer transfer period, PSV sold Jefferson Farfán and Gomes for €19 million, and in return bought Ola Toivonen, Stef Nijland, Andreas Isaksson and Erik Pieters for €13,3 million. With Stevens, the 2008–09 season started disastrously, facing early Champions League and KNVB Cup eliminations and a fourth league spot at the winter break. Both Reker and Stevens faced heavy protests from the PSV fan base, who demanded their resignation, but the board of directors kept their faith in Reker. In January, Stevens resigned though and Reker appointed Lodeweges as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. With Lodeweges, PSV finished fourth in the league, missing out on Champions League football and its financial benefits.
In April 2009, Reker signed Fred Rutten as the new head coach of PSV. He was handed a three-year contract. During the summer, Orlando Engelaar and Stanislav Manolev were transferred to PSV (for €7,1 million), while Lazović was sold for €5 million. On Christmas Eve 2009, Reker announced his departure as general manager. Even though the PSV board of directors asked Reker to extend his contract, he refused and decided to leave PSV when his contract ended in July 2010. Reker was angered by the board after they did not consult him about releasing commercial director Marcel van den Bunder. Reker: “I have decided not to extend my contract with PSV in solidarity with a displaced colleague. Principles matter more to me than money.”

Are you aware of these health discomforts a pregnant mother can get?
Posted on: 16/May/2024 9:26:37 AM
A tiny cell gets nurtured into a fully grown foetus slowly!! Incredible right!!
Yes, it is true that pregnancy is a miracle of nature. Not every pregnant woman would have a smooth journey and the journey would have ups and downs. The challenges during pregnancy can be managed well by making some lifestyle changes.
Various common discomforts that a pregnant woman can get are
Acidity issues:
During pregnancy, a woman could get acidity issues. In this situation, the pregnant woman must avoid eating citrus fruits and oily, spicy foods etc. It is important to avoid lying down for atleast 1 hour after eating food. Keeping the head raised above while sleeping would be good for pregnant women.
Fatigue and tiredness:
Pregnant women would feel very tired and fatigued. It is necessary to take naps during the day. By going to bed early in the night could lower her fatigue.
Backaches:
Pregnant women can get backaches and that could be due to her growing belly and changing lumbar curvature etc. It is important to practise correct posture from the start of pregnancy. While sitting and sleeping, pregnant women must use supportive pillows. Doing stretching exercises etc would help a pregnant woman to manage back pain well.
Swelling in feet:
In the third trimester, the feet of pregnant women might swell up. In that situation, pregnant women must avoid sitting or standing for long hours. While sleeping, it is necessary to keep the legs raised above the pillow. Drinking water and staying hydrated is very essential.
Excess urination:
In the first and in the third trimester, increased urination is very common. It is important to avoid coffee, tea and other sugary drinks in the second half of the day. Doing pelvic floor exercises would be good.
Bowel issues:
A pregnant woman could face bowel based issues like constipation. The pregnant woman must increase roughage intake plus drink lots of fluids and keep her hydrated.
Fluctuations in mood:
Pregnant women would have mood fluctuations and it is common. It is necessary to practise relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation etc. Pregnant women must share their feelings openly with her partner and other family members etc.

Logit
The logit model is very similar to probit. Rather than the probability of an event being described by a normal distribution, it is modeled using a logistic distribution. The logistic and normal have very similar shapes and the outcomes from the logit estimation are usually very similar to those in
probit. The probability that individual i chooses the alternative is
In logit the probability is modeled using Л^) rather than T(zi) as in the probit model.
Below we estimate the probability of purchasing Coca-Cola rather than Pepsi using probit, logit, and the linear probability model. The data are contained in coke. gdt and consist of 1140 individuals who purchased either Coke or Pepsi. The gretl script to estimate the models and put the results in a model table is
1 open "@gretldirdatapoecoke. gdt"
2 list x = pratio disp_coke disp_pepsi const
3 probit coke x —quiet
4 modeltab add
5 logit coke x —quiet
6 modeltab add
7 ols coke x —robust
8 modeltab add
9 modeltab show
The result obtained is:
Dependent variable: coke
^statistics in parentheses
** indicates significance at the 5 percent level
For logit and probit, R[86] 2 [87] is McFadden’s pseudo-R2
The signs and the t-ratios are approximately equal across the model. In logit and probit, the coefficient’s sign indicates the sign of the marginal effect. Coefficient magnitudes differ only because of the implicit differences in how the coefficients are normalized. Although it is not obvious, there is an approximate relationship among the ‘slope’ coefficients of the three sets of estimates.
Ybogit = 4(3Lpm
e Probit — 2.5/3lpm
YLogit = 1.6 fi’ Probit
(1 + e-zi )[88]
So, 4(—0.4009) = -1.6036, which is fairly close to the estimate -1.996 for the pratio coefficient in the logit column. More importantly, there are even closer similarities between the marginal effects implies by logit and probit. Their averages (AME) are usually very close to the corresponding coefficient in the linear probability model.
My function is
1 function matrix dlogist(matrix *param, list x)
2 matrix p = lincomb(x, param)
3 matrix d = exp(-p)./(1.+exp(-p))."2
4 return d
5 end function
It uses the ‘dot’ operators for division, multiplication, and exponentiation. These work element – by-element. Vectorizing this as done here may or may not be a good idea, but the syntax is straightforward. A more versatile approach would probably be to loop over the available observations.
Now we need a function that computes and average the marginal effects. Minor modification of the ame function that was used for the probit model yields the average marginal effect for the logit function ame_l below:
matrix amfx = meanc(me_matrix)
5 printf "nThe average marginal effects are %8.4f n", amfx
6 return me_matrix
7 end function
The only change to the original probit ame function comes in line 3 where the dlogist function replaces dnorm.
Estimating the model by logit and getting the AME is done using:
1 list x = const pratio disp_coke disp_pepsi
2 logit coke x
3 matrix coef = $coeff
4 ame_l(&coef, x) which produces
The average marginal effects are 0.4175 -0.4333 0.0763 -0.1587
The average marginal effect for a increase in the price ratio is -0.4333. That compares to -0.4097 in probit and -0.4009 in the linear probability model. It would certainly be easy at this point to compute standard errors for these marginal effects, but we will save that as an exercise.
The models can also be compared based on predictions. Gretl produces a table in the standard probit and logit outputs that facilitates this. The table is 2 x 2 and compares predictions from the model to actual choices. The table for the beverage choice model is:
Number of cases ‘correctly predicted’ = 754 (66.1%) f(beta’x) at mean of independent vars = 0.394 Likelihood ratio test: Chi-square(3) = 145.823 [0.0000]
Predicted 01 Actual 0 507 123
1 263 247
The table reveals that with probit, of the (507 +123) = 630 consumers that chose Pepsi (Pepsi=0), the model predicted 507 of these correctly (80.48% correct for Pepsi). It predicted 247/(263 + 247) = 247/510 = 48.43% correct for Coke. The overall percentage that was correctly predicted is 754/1140 = 66.1%. The table for logit is exactly the same, so there is no reason to prefer one over the other for their predictive accuracy.
In fact, look at the correlations between the predictions of the three estimators:
Correlation Coefficients for model predictions, using the observations 1 – 1140 5% critical value (two-tailed) = 0.0581 for n = 1140
logit ols
0.9996 0.9950 probit
1.0 0.9924 logit
1.0 ols
As you can see, these are VERY highly correlated, all over 0.99 and significant at 5%.

Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible for me to integrate ArcGIS QuickCapture with another mobile app or service system like SerivceNow/Maximos?
My purpose is to get input from users in my app/SerivceNow/Maximos, then feed these inputs into a QuickCapture project. I hope everything works in the backend and user should be able to submit a hazard report through either a popup or a web browser embedded in my app.
Is there a possible way to do these? Any developer API documentation I can refer to?
Thank you so much!

Yes - if you directly call the REST API to send data, no QuickCapture app is needed. This will require developer skills. I'm speaking merely from the data sending perspective, I'm not familiar with SerivceNow/ IBM Maximos, so I can't advise on the integration part.

Hi @xxwwyytt You can pass inputs to QuickCapture app using the URL parameters, the product team is also working on supporting more parameters in the coming releases. Calling the QuickCapture URL will launch the app and the specified project.
From what you described above, it looks like you know which feature layer and what attributes you are sending data to, if it's the case, it may be worth well to look into utilizing ArcGIS REST API and send your payload directly from your app (I guess my question is: why link to a QuickCapture project if it's not intended to be used?)

Hi @Mandy_Li thanks for the answer. I'm trying to avoid the launch of quickcapture inside my app for the users. I looked into the URL param stuff but it ends up the QuickCapture app itself is needed, so that's wasn't an option for me. I am looking into the ArcGIS REST API you mentioned and it seems like a good choice for me!
Just to make, in the case that I use the API to send data, I don't actually need my users to download the QuickCapture app but can still achieve a similar functionality of QuickCapture?
Really appreciate your answer! I was just looking into possible solutions but not familiar with ArcGIS, so it helps so much!

SwarmESB is a microservices architecture based on a higher level of active message communication pattern that we call “swarm communication”. It offers a starting architecture for cloud and enterprise systems.
Introduction
The usual method of doing message passing is to have relatively intelligent processes, objects or actors sending and receiving dumb messages. Thinking to messages as relatively smart beings visiting relatively non intelligent places, we noticed a positive effect on the quality of the code and a new path for decomposing complex applications in small services.
Header 2
SwarmESB is using swarm communication for creating an easy to grow Enterprise Service Bus. One can add microservices (offered by “adapters”) and describe how microservices get composed for your use cases in a coupling free DSL (“swarm descriptions”). SwarmESB is growing in the direction of executable choreographies, to offer by design an improved architecture for security and privacy.
A "swarm" is a set of related messages with some basic intelligence and is based on an intuitive point of view: computer processes communicating by asynchronous messages are more like "dumb trees/flowers" visited by "smart swarms of bees", rather than "smart people" communicating by "dumb messages". This intuition has a powerful effect on reducing the complexity of many distributed systems. Service orchestration with SwarmESB is elegant, there is no need to learn new languages and difficult concepts: just use Java Script code and a few simple concepts. SwarmESB is an open source project implementing a new approach: "Swarming architecture" that you could reuse for your new multi-tenant systems that will transparently acquire the benefits of scalability, high availability, highly parallel computing and loose coupling usually obtained with asynchronous messages, message queues, pub/sub channels and using a message or service bus. While this project is build using Node.js and Redis, it will present "swarming" as a new concept, comparable, but simpler than direct usage of Enterprise Integration Patterns or the Actor model used in Scala and Erlang. | WIKI |
Acupuncture Massage Types
There are different ways to stimulate acupuncture points with the use of hand. Therefore, there are various types of acupuncture massages. Putting pressure over an acupuncture point is called acupressure and massaging the point or giving a peculiar type of vibration during the massage is called micromassage or acumassage. In history, before the widespread use of acupuncture with needles, these massages and especially acupressure was more commonly used. Hence, today, the use of these types of massages may be useful if you’re afraid of someone inserting needles to your body. Instead of going to a clinic where needles are used, acupuncture at home with acupressure or other massages may be more convenient if you consider that it may be difficult to take elderly people out of their houses.
Acupressure
Light pressure at the point will tonify the energy while the hard pressure at the point will disperse or sedate the energy. Hard pressure is applied for some time and immediately released after one or two minutes and again the pressure is applied. This method is very good to give fast relief in pain. Slow increase of pressure at a particular point and slow release of pressure will give better results in some nervine conditions and psychosomatic diseases.
A Good Explanatory Video for the Use of Acupressure At Home
Acumassage
By massaging at the point we can either tonify the energy or sedate the energy . Massage is of different types:
• Tui message with palm and fingers,
• Na with the heel of palm.deep massage is carried out, and
• Ning catching or pinching the body points in the hand and giving massage.
With tui we can tonify the energy while with na we sedate the energy and with ning we can reduce the pain very fast by releasing the spasm of muscles.
Micromassage
If biceps muscle is tightly contracted then a few vibrations can be produced in the fingers. While creating these vibrations, slow hand massage is given by putting full force to vibrate the entire body of the acupuncturist, and this will give a micromassage. With light micromassage we can tonify the energy while with deep micromassage we can sedate the energy.
There are many other methods of stimulating the acupuncture points with hand, and one of these is called shiatsu, a Japanese system of giving pressure and massage at the acupuncture points.
With light type of massage circulation of blood is improved and with deep type of massage and pressure spasm of the muscle is reduced as well as due to the increase in muscle tone and release of endorphin pain is reduced. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Welcome!
I'm a student at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. My parents immigrated to this country from Brazil and Colombia, which pushed me to add "Modern History of Brazil" to my academic curriculum. From January 17th, 2018 through May 10th, 2018, I worked on various projects concerning Brazilian culture for the course. Currently, I use this account to edit miscellaneous information across Wikipedia. I tend to focus on grammatical errors and ensuring information has a valid source. A full list of my edits can be found here.
NeuroCoxinha derives from neurology, the study of the brain, and coxinhas, the delicious Brazilian croquette.

Embryo Donation Services Questions and Answers
Contact our team of healthcare professionals today at The New Hope Center For Reproductive Medicine for embryo donation services in Virginia Beach, VA. For more information, call us today or book an appointment online.
How does embryo donation work?
Embryo donation is a type of fertility treatment that can be used by couples or single women looking to conceive but aren’t able to do so naturally. Embryo donation is not to be confused with egg donation as they refer to different stages in the conception process. A woman may need an embryo donation when she requires both an egg from a donor and a sperm donation, whether due to the fact that she is a single woman without viable eggs or part of a couple and neither of them are able to produce the required components for successful fertilization. Embryos are an egg that has already been fertilized by sperm and are typically donated by couples looking to help other people realize their dreams of having a baby. Due to the nature of the donation, the donating couple will have already gone through the IVF process to have a baby and have had their eggs harvested and a semen sample collected to start the process of building an embryo.
What is the difference between egg donation and embryo donation?
An egg donation and an embryo donation differ in the stage of the process of conception that they are at. Egg donation involves donating only the mature egg to a woman who may not be able to produce eggs or produces low-quality eggs. With an egg donation, the woman would have a partner, or use a sperm donor, that would provide a semen sample in order to fertilize the egg to form an embryo. Embryo donation is one step further along than an egg donation in that the egg has already been combined with a sperm sample and an embryo has formed. This is an option when both the egg and sperm of the couple trying to conceive are not viable for a successful pregnancy, if there is a risk for either partner to pass on a genetic disorder to a couple or for women who are single that can’t use their own eggs to conceive.
What qualifications do you need to be an embryo donor?
The qualifications needed to be an embryo donor can vary by country, with requirements being based on the donating person’s age and overall health. Regardless of who or where you are receiving the donation from, they need to qualify for an embryo donation.
The following requirements will need to be met by anyone donating an embryo:
• Age requirement of at least the age of majority and preferably in the age range of 21-34 years old. This is to ensure that they can give informed consent, but also in this age range, women are able to produce the highest number of eggs and their eggs are more likely to create a high-quality embryo with a higher implantation success rate.
• Medical pre-screening for psychological, genetic and medical risk factors including hereditary diseases. Testing will be done to screen for syphilis, HIV, Hepatitis B and C and chlamydia trachomatis.
• Understand the legalities around embryo donation and that the donating party will have no legal right to the child unless it is agreed upon by all parties involved prior to the donation happening.
What disqualifies you from donating eggs?
Women can be disqualified from donating eggs for a variety of reasons. Eggs that are donated should be of the highest quality to ensure they are more likely to be successfully implanted and lead to a healthy pregnancy. For this reason, eggs that are at a higher risk of being poor quality may be rejected. Women who are over the age of 35 are often disqualified from donating eggs due to the body’s natural slow down in egg production and the increased likelihood of complications. If there are any pre-existing medical conditions or a family history of medical conditions that could get passed on to a baby, that would also disqualify a woman from being able to donate her eggs. A full health assessment will need to be completed on anyone interested in donating eggs to ensure that she is in good health and her eggs will be suitable for donation.
If you have questions or want more information about embryo donation services, then we encourage you to contact our team of healthcare professionals today at The New Hope Center For Reproductive Medicine. You can reach us through our website or you can call us directly.
