Packet Writing is method of writing CDs that are formated using the UDF standard. The difference between PW and normal CD session-based, or disc-at-once burning method is that PW allows to write small amounts of data in chunks, without creating or recreating a TOC for the CD (a time-consuming operation, for allowing ISO9660-compatible readers to read the disc).
There are two kinds of Packet Writing:
CD-R Packet Writing
A blank CD is inserted. First, a session is opened and the TOC of the CD is left blank until the session is closed. During the open session, Each variable length packet is written right after another, each time specifying the size of the packet so it is possible for the reader to know where the next packet is located. Every modification of the file system on the CD that has to be synced with the CD, requires packet writes which tell about the difference that was introduced. The computer keeps track about the file system in memory for caching purposes. When the disc is ejected, the cache is emptied, but the session is not closed. If the user specifies to close the session when the disc is ejected, then the system writes an ISO9660 Level 3 TOC, so that regular CD readers can read the CD. Using ISO9660 Level 3 along with UDF is possible because the files are not fragmented on the disc. CD-R Packet Writing is efficient, making it possible to accommodate more blocks than there are on a regular 650MB disc.
CD-RW Packet Writing
With CD-RW discs it is possible to use the same method as with CD-R discs, but the UDF standard allows to use the rewritability of CD-RW in a special way. The CD maintains a file systems of fixed length packets, and these packets can be rewritten. The advantage of this method is that the CD behaves more like a hard drive or a floppy diskette. There are a few problems: Some CD-RW discs support a limited amount of erasures, like around 1000, so after many rewrites some packets will fail to write and the file system integrity will start to break. Another problem is that files get fragmented, and the slow CD drive's seek rates make it much slower to read files. A third problem is that because the packets are fixed size, there's a lot of space wastage. A UDF CD-RW offers only 494MB of storage as a result. The last problem with this method is that it is impossible to write an ISO9660 TOC for the file system because of the fragmented files, which makes it possible only for UDF supported systems and MultiRead drives to read the CD.

Chapter 1 Coal comes to the Area
Coal was mined as a surface outcrop at Denaby in mediaeval times, and in 1487 there is a reference to a close there called Colepytes. In the early eighteenth century wooden waggon ways were constructed for the transport of hand hewn coal, from sites near the present swimming baths, to the river. At Engine House Farm, Old Denaby, coal was also being dug, from a seam, known as the Shafton seam.
The coal was used mainly for burning limestone to produce the lime, which was in turn mixed with other products such as horsehair for the mortar used in the building industry. The Fullerton Estate Plan shows evidence of such deposits, but it was not considered viable to extract them on a large scale until much later into the nineteenth century.
It was in July l863 that John Buckingham Pope, a London coal factor, and George Pearson a railway contractor, leased land from the Fullerton family of Thrybergh Hall, for the extraction of coal, from the previously mentioned eighteenth century Shafton seam to provide fuel and power for the sinking of a colliery shaft to the Barnsley “bed”.
The sinking proved to be a long and risky undertaking, despite the use of equipment considered very advanced for that day and age. Since the site was low lying, and the shaft was below the level of the river, there was a great deal of water to contend with. At 449 ‘/2 yards, the shaft proved to be the deepest in Yorkshire at that time. It was not until the end of 1868 that coal was finally produced on a commercial basis, and the colliery was fully working. By 1869 a manager had been appointed at a salary of £150 per annum plus a house, and by 1873 the success of the undertaking was such that his salary had been raised to £400 per annum.
Since the colliery had been sunk in a rural area and there had had to be a large influx of workers for the project, this meant that transport, housing, medical, social, educational, and religious and many other facilities had to be provided for these workers.
The first priority was housing, beginning with the construction of Thrybergh Terrace, or Cross Row as it was first called. These houses were the only colliery houses built with separate washhouses, and were therefore considered superior to some of the later ones. By 1868 half of Annerley Street then known as Annerley Buildings, the lodging houses in Woodside View, part of Doncaster Road (Pit Row) as far as Breeze´s Shop, and housing from the Reresby Arms to Kirby´s Hill had been completed.
Gradually, what had begun as a quiet, rural area, orientated to agriculture, became one of grime, smoke and soot, due to the industrialisation. Following the creation of new jobs and opportunities to develop new skills, workers flooded into the area from all over the British Isles. They worked not only at the colliery and glassworks, but also on roads and railways, waterways and service industries.
In 1861 the population was only 203. By 1871 it had risen to 695, of whom 166 were miners, living in 100 colliery built houses, only 10 of these men were born in Yorkshire. Over the next 10 years these numbers had increased to 1,631.
It seems ironical given the 1861 population of 203, that over the 100 years of production at Denaby Main Colliery there were 203 fatal accidents.
The development of a new pit at Cadeby resulted in the formation of Denaby & Cadeby Colliery Co. By 1893, the ten feet thick Barnsley bed of coal had been located and production began. The colliery was the largest and deepest in Yorkshire at 770 yards. By 1899 there were 3,500 men employed by the company, 2,600 of whom worked underground. Output per day was 1,600 tons, this, despite the fact that the colliery was not as yet at full capacity, having still a mile of coal face opened upon which no coal getting had yet been done. It was estimated that at full working capacity, output would be close to 5,000 tons per day.
It was described as the most modern pit in the country, arousing interest among mining engineers from other areas who came to see the new machinery installed there. The “Humboldt” washer had a capacity of 1,500 tons of coal per day Chambers patent screen could handle 1,000 tons, and the Schile ventilator produced half a million cubic feet of air per minute. Great interest was shown in the coke ovens and modern by-product recovery plant. The production from both Denaby and Cadeby collieries continued to increase with large amounts of washed steam coal being shipped overseas to Europe, South America´s ports and also the Baltic States. As the years passed, ownership of the collieries passed into other hands, however in 1947 “Nationalisation” was introduced and private ownership ceased.
It can be seen that the collieries were the magnet that attracted the original inhabitants to the village, seeking the work created there. The majority of these workers and their families would be strangers to each other, coming from diverse stratas of society, to fill the various jobs required. There were architects, clerks labourers, doctors, joiners, blacksmiths, bricklayers and coal hewers, all thrown together into the melting pot to form a new community around the two mines. There can be little wonder that some conflicts arose, at work, at home, and at leisure. It is remarkable though, how in times of trouble, there was a great unity of spirit. The history of the collieries is one of drama, courage and deprivation, coupled with good comradeship, stubbornness and humour. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Native American tribes in Texas
Native American tribes in Texas are the Native American tribes who are currently based in Texas and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas who historically lived in Texas.
Many individual Native Americans, whose tribes are headquartered in other states, reside in Texas. The Texas Historical Commission by law consulted with the three federally recognized tribes in Texas and as well as 26 other federally recognized tribes headquartered in surrounding states.
In 1986, the state formed the Texas Commission for Indian Affairs, later renamed the Texas Indian Commission, to manage trust lands and assist three federally recognized tribes headquartered in Texas. However, the commission was dissolved in 1989.
Federally recognized tribes
Texas has three federally recognized tribes. They have met the seven criteria of an American Indian tribe: The three federally recognized tribes in Texas are:
* 1) being an American Indian entity since at least 1900
* 2) a predominant part of the group forms a distinct community and has done so throughout history into the present
* 3) holding political influence over its members
* 4) having governing documents including membership criteria
* 5) members having ancestral descent from historic American Indian tribes
* 6) not being members of other existing federally recognized tribes
* 7) not being previously terminated by the U.S. Congress.
* Alabama–Coushatta Tribes of Texas, originally from Tennessee and Alabama
* Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, originally from the Great Lakes
* Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo of Texas originally from New Mexico.
These three tribes are served by the Southern Plains Regional Office of the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs located in Anadarko, Oklahoma.
American Indian reservations
These are three Indian Reservations in Texas:
* Alabama–Coushatta Reservation, in Polk County, Texas
* Kickapoo Reservation, in Maverick County, Texas
* Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, in El Paso County, Texas.
State-recognized tribes
State-recognized tribes do not have the government-to-government relationship with the United States federal government that federally recognized tribes do. Texas has "no legal mechanism to recognize tribes," as journalists Graham Lee Brewer and Tristan Ahtone wrote. The Texas Commission for Indian Affairs, later Texas Indian Commission, only dealt with the three federally recognized tribes and did not work with any state-recognized tribes before being dissolved in 1989. Texas has no state-recognized tribes.
Several groups have claimed to be state-recognized based on congratulatory resolutions; however, "Resolutions are statements of opinions and, unlike bills, do not have the force of law." For example, the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas were honored in Texas Senate Resolution 438 in 2009 and Texas State Concurrent Resolution 61 and Texas House Concurrent Resolution 171, both in 2019.
Texas Senate Bill 274 to formally recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, introduced in January 2021, died in committee, as did Texas Senate Bill 231 introduced in November 2022. Texas Senate Bill 1479, introduced in March 2023, and Texas House Bill 2005, introduced in February 2023, both to state-recognize the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation also died in committee.
Historical tribes of Texas
These are some of the tribes that have existed in what is now Texas. Many were forcibly removed to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, in the 19th century, and few to New Mexico or Louisiana. Others no longer exist as tribes but may have living descendants.

Unrecognized organizations
More than 30 organizations claim to represent historic tribes within Texas; however, these groups are unrecognized, meaning they do not meet the minimum criteria of federally recognized tribes and are not state-recognized tribes. Some of these cultural heritage groups form 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. | WIKI |
UPDATE 2-EU weighs new payment rules in challenge to U.S. companies
* Brussels studies possible new rules to favour EU payment system * ECB's Mersch says ready to help on tech standards * EU service could disrupt existing payment solutions- Dombrovskis (Adds Mersch, context, details) BRUSSELS, Feb 26 (Reuters) - The European Commission is considering new rules to speed up adaptation of an instant-payment system the European Central Bank introduced last year, challenging card companies and tech giants such as Visa and PayPal, officials said. The ECB's TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) system will let people and companies in Europe transfer euros to each other within seconds, regardless of the opening hours of their local banks. That is a challenge to U.S. companies such as PayPal, Google , Facebook and Amazon, and China's Alibaba and Tencent, which currently dominate such services in Europe. European banks have been slow to join the system, though, so the EU Commission and the ECB are studying ways to facilitate its use. "We are reflecting on whether a stronger regulatory push would be needed to speed up this process," the EU Commission's Vice-President in charge of financial services, Valdis Dombrovskis, told a financial-technology conference in Brussels. His remarks were echoed at the same conference by ECB board member Yves Mersch, who said Frankfurt was determined to push the instant payment system forward. "We will do it either through our collaborative, cooperative efforts together with the industry or we will do it through our regulatory capacity," Mersch said. Bit added: "We are determined to support those who want to take this opportunity." He said the ECB could issue recommendations to improve technological standards if needed. DISRUPTIVE The commission, who has the exclusive power to propose legislation at EU level, would be in charge of devising new rules. Dombrovskis said the opportunity to consider an overhaul of payments rules could come up this year as part of a planned review of the Payments Account Directive. This review is expected to begin in coming weeks, an EU official said. Actual legislative proposals, though, are unlikely to come during this commission's mandate, which expires in autumn. Dombrovskis said the ECB system had the potential "to disrupt existing payment solutions, including cards, at least for euro-denominated payments." Visa and Mastercard currently dominate the European market for card payments. EU politicians have repeatedly said the EU needs its own payment system and the Commission is now pushing to strengthen the role of the euro in commodities and energy trade against the dominant dollar. "In a few years, we want Europe to set new global standards for payments technology," Dombrovskis said, comparing the instant-payment system to successful EU cross-border projects, such as cheap roaming telephone calls and free bank transactions under the SEPA system.

After Philip II Macedon’s death, his son, Alexander The Great rose to power. Alexander quickly began conquering many Greek city-states such as Egypt, India, and Persia. He wanted to continue moving eastward, however his exhausted troops refused to continue fighting. They told him that a great leader knew when it was time to stop fighting. When Alexander was done fighting, he had control over the largest empire in the ancient world. Despite becoming King at 20 and being so successful, his father Philip II is more responsible for his successes.
Phillip of Macedon invaded and conquered these Greek city- states by taking advantage of the fact that they were all divided by years of arguing and fighting. By taking over these city-states, he essentially united them. Phillip II also built up the army that Alexander The Great used to conquer other Greek- city states. Phillip II inherited an inexperienced and ineffective army. The first thing he wanted to do was revolutionize and modernize the army. He wanted to increase their numbers and change how it works. He separated his newly created infantry and organized them into battalions. The units formed a phalanx of 18,000 men. He armed these troops with sarissa, a 15-18 pole with a sharp iron point at the end to penetrate through the enemy’s shield. Due to the length of the sarissa, it allowed Philip II to lighten the armor. He supplied them with a shield that strapped to the left arm and light body armor. The sarissa and phalanx increased mobility and striking power of phalanx. Philip mobilized mobility. He also organized a mobile siege train that included engineers and war engines, that could be used as artillery in battle. Philip of Macedon was now ready to conquer Greece.
Alexander kept the same principles as his father, but took them to another level. He also employed several engineers to develop siege weapons. One thing that was different from his father, was that Alexander was always in the front of of the battle. He believed that this would strike fear in the enemy, as well as boost morale in his own army. When he would strike, he would do it in the center of the opposing army. Alexander The Great also added a unit of hypasists, or shield bearers to the phalanx. They carried shorter spears. The hypasists were more mobile and could move side to side. The phalanx wasn’t good on uneven terrain, and Alexander was smart enough to mix things up in this case.
Before Philip II died, he wanted to invade and conquer Persia. Alexander stuck to that, and went to war with Persia with 50,000 soldiers. Using tactics, strategy, and experienced soldiers, he was able to fulfill his father’s goal. After conquering Persia, he continued east to move east before stopping. After conquering, he spread the Greek culture throughout the empire. His reign marked a new era known as the Hellenistic Age because of the influence that the Greek culture had on other people.
Policing throughout the U.S has fluctuated between the 19th and 20th century. Policing was heavily drawn into local politics. Politicians had control over police agencies because they were able to choose chiefs that would run the agencies. By choosing this position, they essentially would have no power. In the 19th century, political involvement in policing was seen as a problem by the public and police reformers. During the mid 19th century, the police reform began to create standards for recruiting and hiring officers and administrators rather than letting politicians select these people. They also wanted to improve the quality of policing by setting standards for policemen they want to hire, implementing better training and giving them technology to help them in operations.

Demystifying Siri, Part 4: Suggestions
In Part 1 of this series we were resigned to the fact that a user wasn’t immediately able to make use of Siri to solve numbers games using NumberRace. Our user has to go through the rigmarole of creating a shortcut and adding a spoken phrase before Siri is even aware of this functionality. You’ll recall that this is a problem with custom intents; Siri’s inbuilt system intents, such as booking a ride or playing music, does not suffer from this problem. Is there anything we can do to reduce the friction in creating a shortcut?
Let us suppose that our hypothetical user is a fan of TV game show Countdown and uses our app to solve numbers games while it is broadcast. Wouldn’t it be great if we could automatically provide a prompt at that time every weekday? Fortunately we can, using suggestions.
Creating intent suggestions
You’ll recall that in Part 1 we discussed that it is possible, as a developer, to notify Siri that a user has carried out a particular activity in your app. Siri is then able to make predictions about when an activity is likely to be used and then present it as a suggestion on the lock screen or the search screen of the user’s phone at the appropriate time.
We’ll create some suggestions by re-opening our Intents.intentdefinition file. Select the SolveGame custom intent and scroll down to Suggestions.
We’ll create three types of suggestion:
• a suggestion with the target and six initial numbers populated
• a suggestion with the target populated only
• a suggestion with no parameters populated
Firstly, ensure that Intent is eligible for Siri Suggestions is checked. Then we’ll add our suggestions – each with our different parameter combinations. For each suggestion type, click on the + sign below the Supported Combinations box. Enter the parameter combinations and give a summary for each. When all is done we should end up with something resembling the screenshot below.
Donating intents
Next, we need to inform Siri whenever the solver is used in our app. In order to do this we need to ensure a donation occurs whenever the user taps on the ‘Solve’ button. Let’s get this done by creating a function:
func donateSolveGameIntent() {
if #available(iOS 12.0, *) {
let intent = SolveGameIntent()
let interaction = INInteraction(intent: intent, response: nil)
interaction.donate(completion: nil)
}
}
If we have iOS 12 and above, we can create a SolveGameIntent, populate it with a target and initial numbers (although here we haven’t done that) and donate it to Siri.
When the user presses ‘Solve’ in the solver, we ensure that this function is run.
@IBAction func solveScreen() {
// ...code to run the solver
donateSolveGameIntent();
}
It’s important that, when donating an intent to Siri, the intent data in the donation matches a parameter combination in the intent definition. If a matching parameter combination is not found then a suggestion will not be made.
We’ve left our intent data blank because it’s very unlikely that a user going to run the solver with the same numbers and target each time. We could have populated our intent data with a target and initial numbers, but there’s no benefit in doing so. But if there was some regular pattern to our intent data Siri can recognise it and come up with a suggestion tailored to our needs, using the most relevant parameter combination we defined in our intent definition file.
For example, let’s suppose we use a banking app to manually make a regular payment to the milkman every week. The payee stays the same but the amount varies each time. The app donates that intent with the payee and amount data. Siri is able to recognise that the payee is the same, discard the amount, and display a generic “Pay the milkman” suggestion on our phone’s lock screen.
Let’s see if that works…
Donating intents in action
Fortunately we don’t have to wait an age while Siri collates all our new intent donations. We can make a change to our settings to see suggestions as they happen. Open the Settings app, then select Developer. Scroll down to Display Recent Shortcuts and ensure that this setting is enabled. Also ensure that Display Donations on Lock Screen is enabled.
The Developer settings screen
The Developer settings screen
Open NumberRace, then our solver, then click on Solve. The next time our lock screen appears then we have a suggestion! This suggestion also appears in our shortcuts app, where we can attach a custom phrase. Or we can navigate to the Siri & Search section of the Settings app to do the same thing.

Having a conversation
We’ve travelled quite far on our journey, but we still haven’t reached our destination – for Siri to ask us for numbers and to read out a solution. We’ll do this in Part 5. Will we then finally reach our goal? (Spoiler alert: this is a six, maybe seven, part series, so no.) | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

I was looking through the jp wikipedia page for ILCA, & I noticed this app listed as one of their projects (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILCA), It's also listed on ILCA's website & they have it listed in their "works" section (https://www.ilca.co.jp/works/dominos-app-miku/) I'm not super fluent in 日本語 nor am I very familiar with wikipedia, I wouldn't know how they should be credited, but I just thought it would be nice to have them mentioned here as they apparently helped with the development. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2022 (UTC) | WIKI |
James M. Fulton
James Melville Fulton (1873–1940) was a composer, arranger, conductor, and music educator best known for composing marches. He is often associated with the traditional British melody Garry Owen which he arranged for band in 1903. His most recognized march is Associated Press, published in 1897. His more than 245 compositions include more than 144 marches (more than Sousa) as well as many waltzes, polkas, overtures, schottisches, reveries, and cakewalks.
Fulton was born in Washington, Pennsylvania and studied violin, cornet, euphonium, and tuba as a youth. He played cornet for orchestras and bands, eventually becoming the conductor of the Waite Dramatic Company Band and music director for the Hotel Rudolf in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Starting in 1899, Fulton led the American Band from Waterbury, Connecticut and changed its name to "Fulton's American Band." He would later organize his own music publishing company and serve as music director for Fenway Theatre in Boston. His was conductor for the Waltham Watch Company Band for 13 years. He died of a heart attack in Belmont, Massachusetts in 1940 while preparing the Belmont VFW Band for another state championship.
Family: Fulton was married to M Margaret Sprow on August 9, 1893, and had a daughter named Alga N Fulton (b.April 22, 1893). They divorced on March 6, 1903.
He married Edith Hoxie on May 2, 1904.
He married Catherine S. Fulton (?) (d.1971) and they are both buried in an unmarked grave at the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts. | WIKI |

Narellan Vale, New South Wales
Narellan Vale is a suburb of Sydney, in the Australian state of New South Wales. Narellan Vale is located 60 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Camden Council and is part of the Macarthur region.
History
The area now known as Narellan Vale was probably originally home to the Tharawal people, based in the Illawarra region, although the Western Sydney-based Darug people and the Southern Highlands-based Gandangara people were also known to have inhabited the greater Camden area. Very early relations with British settlers were cordial but as farmers started clearing and fencing the land affecting food resources in the area, clashes between the groups arose until 1816 when a number of indigenous people were massacred and the remainder retreated from direct conflict with the settlers.
In 1805, wool pioneer John Macarthur was granted 5,000 acres (20 km2) at Cowpastures (now Camden). After the land was cleared, it was used for farming until the mid-1980s when Sydney's suburban sprawl reached the town of Camden and Areas like Narellan Vale were Established.
In 1986 Narellan Vale was established and then two years later in 1988 Elizabeth Macarthur High school opened and then a few years later Narellan Vale Public School And St Clare's Catholic Primary School opened, the suburb was completed by 1998.
Demographics
According to the 2016 census of population, there were 7,193 people in Narellan Vale.
* Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 3.5% of the population.
* 82.6% of people were born in Australia. The nextmost common countries of birth were England 2.9% and New Zealand 1.6%.
* 88.1% of people spoke only English at home.
* The most common responses for religion were Catholic 31.2%, Anglican 25.4% and No Religion 21.8%.
* There was a high percentage of families with children (55.4%).
* The percentage of children aged 0–14 (23.2%) is substantially higher than the national average (18.7%).
* Like its neighbouring suburbs, there is also a very high proportion of detached houses in the area (96.6%).
Education
There are three schools in Narellan Vale:
* Narellan Vale Public School
* St Clare's Catholic Primary School
* Elizabeth Macarthur High School
Governance
Narellan Vale lies in the central ward of Camden Council, currently represented by Theresa Fedeli, the current mayor of Camden, Rob Mills and Ashleigh Cagney. It sits within the state electorate of Camden, represented by Liberal's Peter Sidgreaves and the federal electorate of Hume represented by Liberal's Angus Taylor. | WIKI |
YouTube confirms a test where the comments are hidden by default – TechCrunch
YouTube’s comments section has a bad reputation. It’s even been called “the worst on the internet,” and a reflection of YouTube’s overall toxic culture, where creators are rewarded for outrageous behavior — whether that’s tormenting and exploiting their children, filming footage of a suicide victim, promoting dangerous “miracle cures” or sharing conspiracies, to name a few high-profile examples. Now, the company is considering a design change that hides the comments by default. The website XDA Developers first spotted the test on Android devices in India. Today, YouTube’s comments don’t have a prominent position on its mobile app. On both iOS and Android devices, the YouTube video itself appears at the top of the screen, followed by engagement buttons for sharing, liking, disliking, downloading and saving the video. Below that are recommendations from YouTube’s algorithm in a section titled “Up Next.” If you actually want to visit the comments, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. In the test, the comments have been removed from this bottom section of the page entirely. Instead, they’ve been relocated to a new section that users can only view after clicking a button. The new Comments button is found between the Thumbs Down and Share buttons, right below the video. It’s unclear if this change will reduce or increase user engagement with comments, or if engagement will remain flat — something that YouTube likely wants to find out, too. On the one hand, comments are hidden unless the user manually taps on the button to reveal them — users won’t happen upon them by scrolling down. On the other hand, putting the comments button behind a click at the top of the page instead of forcing users to scroll could make them easier to access. As XDA Developers reports, when you’ve loaded up this new Comments section, you can pull to refresh the page to see the newly added comments appear. To exit, you tap the “X” button at the top of the window to close the section. While it reported the test was underway in Android devices in India, we’ve confirmed it’s also appearing on iOS and is not limited to a particular region. That means it’s something YouTube wants to test on a broader scale, rather than a feature it’s considering for a localized version of its app for Indian users. The change comes at a time when YouTube’s comments section has been discovered to be more than just the home to bullying, abuse, arguments and other unhelpful content, but also a tool that was exploited by pedophiles. A ring of pedophiles had communicated through the comments to share videos and timestamps with one another. YouTube reacted then by disabling comments on videos with kids. More recently, it’s been considering moving kids content to a separate app. (Unfortunately, it will never consider the appropriateness of having built a platform where young children can be put on public display for the whole world to see.) A YouTube spokesperson confirmed the Comments test, in a statement, but downplayed its importance by referring to it as one of many small experiments the company is running. “We’re always experimenting with ways to help people more easily find, watch, share and interact with the videos that matter most to them,” the spokesperson told TechCrunch. “We are testing a few different options on how to display comments on the watch page. This is one of many small experiments we run all the time on YouTube, and we’ll consider rolling features out more broadly based on feedback on these experiments.” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Hi@akhtar,
There are two possible reasons for the error occurred on AWS server.
1. You have not installed all the required packages on server. The ideal way to deal with dependencies is to create a requirements.txt file create from the code running on local server.
2. In case you do have created virtual environment then the same path should be configured as python path in web server settings.
Hope this will help.
Thank You

In the study with the LDL, 25 patients with high blood LDL, was gathered. The 20 of patients had high blood cholesterol, but none of the patients were likely to have FH. Five patients with heterozygous FH has gathered apart from the 20 patients. The participants with heterozygous were determined by their high LDL blood level in the blood which was much higher than the patients. The 20 participants were given two types of labeled LDL. The first type of LDL that was used is the patient's own LDL, which was extracted by their blood, labeled and inserted back into the body. The other type of LDL was obtained from first-year medical students who had normal blood cholesterol levels and fit the criteria for giving blood. The patients were then all admitted to the hospital for the study and were given a relatively high-fat diet. The LDL turn over was studie by taking blood from taken from the donors and removed and the amount of the two labeled LDL was detected.
The result of the study is that while in patients with Het FH, neither LDL was absorbed well. In some of the 20 patients who did not have FH, the patients had a much higher turnover rate of medical student's LDL compared to their own LDL. This indicates that the patient's own LDL is not structurally compatible with the LDL receptors in the cell, and indicate that the patients were unable to make normal LDL. since the absorption of the LDL in the blood causes the cells to decrease the production of LDL, it is not unreasonable to say that the unusual structure of the LDL protein is the cause of high cholesterol in these patients. If that was a true one of the ways that it can be treated is to inject LDL from someone else in to their blood. However, this treatment is not cost-effective, since the patients who have a misformed LDL inly have a slightly higher pressure than normal. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Talk:limaille
RFV discussion: May 2022–February 2023
limaille is a well-attested Middle English word with meaning 'metal filings.' It is also a Modern French and Anglo-Norman word with the same meaning, the latter being the root of Modern English lemel, again with the same meaning. In Modern English texts, limaille is attested in some 19th century dentistry texts, with the same meaning (as best I can tell) as the French word. To me this seems like conscious use of French in an otherwise English text. In any case, I cannot verify the metallurgical sense given, especially in light of lemel, and I am not convinced by the odontological cites. Winthrop23 (talk) 13:51, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Signal Acquisition Schematic v1.0
A project log for Electromyography Signal Acquisition
Electromyography is the acquisition of action potential signals which characterise the movement of muscles in the body.
JesseJesse 01/29/2015 at 13:520 Comments
This circuit consists of 4 stages to acquire the signal from a differential pair electrode. The first stage implements an INA126 instrumentation amplifier that has low noise, offset voltage, quiescent current, input bias current and offset drift. This is a precision amplifier ideal for acquisition of low voltage signals such as those in surface EMG. The potentiometer connected to the Rg terminals controls the gain of the amplifier via the equation
\color{White} \large G = 5 + \frac{80 k \Omega}{R_{G}}
The two electrodes on the muscle are fed into the differential input of the amplifier while the reference electrode is used as the ground plane for the signal filtering.
An important factor that has to be taken into consideration when designing electronics that come into contact with the body is to isolate the power supply circuitry from the signal acquisition circuitry. This is to prevent current flow through the person in the event of a fault and is a requirement of medical 60601-1 design standards. For this project I will implement galvanic isolation through a 3 kVDC isolated DC/DC converter RBM-0505S connected to all the op-amps and in a later stage of the circuit a digital isolator ISO7220xD after the microcontroller.
In the second stage of the circuit a second order active low pass filter (or Sallen-Key filter) is used with a cutoff frequency of approx. 450 Hz. To calculate the cutoff frequency for a second order RC circuit, the following equation applies:
\color{White} \large f_{c} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{R_{1}R_{2}C_{1}C_{2}}}
Using the values of 10.7 kΩ and 33 nF, the cutoff frequency is 450.7 Hz which is more than close enough for these purposes. In terms of the resistor values, too low of a resistance will require a larger current to create the required voltage drop at the input and too high a resistance will incur non ideal errors due to bias current causing a voltage offset at the output. Resistance values around 10's and 100's of kΩ's are typically implemented in similar circuits and have a satisfactory balance of non-ideal factors, although more will be apparent once the circuit is built. The feedback loop for the amplifier is set to unity gain since amplification is being performed by the INA126.
The next stage implements a Sallen-Key high pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 15 Hz. Again, resistor values have been chosen in the 10's of kΩ's range and the amplifier is set to unity gain.
The final stage of signal acquisition is a summing amplifier which offsets the AC EMG signal up 2.5 V so that it is in the 0 - 5 V range. This is purely as a means for making analog to digital conversion easier, there are other ways to go about this issue but this is what I chose to go with for now.

Qatar Plans to Sell $1.1 Billion of T-Bills to Set Benchmark for Debt Sale
Qatar plans to sell 4 billion riyals
($1.1 billion) of treasury bills next week as the central bank
seeks to set a benchmark for debt sales and soak up excess cash
from local lenders. “The objective of this is to manage liquidity and also to
build our sovereign yield curve,” Central Bank Governor
Abdullah bin Saud Al-Thani said in a telephone interview today. The three-month T-bills will be sold on Aug. 8 and will be
split equally between Islamic and non-Islamic securities, Al-
Thani said. Qatar has issued 10 billion riyals of T-bills of
different maturities on a monthly basis this year, the governor
said. The Aug. 8 issuance will be the fourth. Qatar, the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural
gas, has supported its banks through the global financial crisis
with cash injections and the purchase of real-estate portfolios.
The central bank lowered interest rates in April after credit
growth slowed and also sold 50 billion riyals of bonds to local
banks in January. Banks’ loans-to-deposit ratio in Qatar fell to 90 percent
at the end of June from 96 percent in December as the lenders
added a combined 47 billion riyals in deposits, according to
data posted on the central bank website. To contact the reporter on this story:

74 was as big as two or three rooms bunched together, and Jim could stand up straight in it. It was cool in there. Jim was for putting our traps in there, right away, but I said we didn't want to be climbing up and down there all the time.
Jim said if we had the canoe hid in a good place, and had all the traps in the cavern, we could rush there if anybody was to come to the island, and they would never find us without dogs. And besides, he said them little birds had said it was going to rain, and did I want the things to get wet?
So we went back and got the canoe and paddled up abreast the cavern, and lugged all the traps up there. Then we hunted up a place close by to hide the canoe in, amongst the thick willows. We took some fish off of the lines and set them again, and begun to get ready for dinner.
The door of the cavern was big enough to roll a hogshead in, and on one side of the door the floor stuck out a little bit and was flat and a good place to build a fire on. So we built it there and cooked dinner.
We spread the blankets inside for a carpet, and eat our dinner in there. We put all the other things handy at the back of the cavern. Pretty soon it darkened up and begun to thunder and lighten; so the birds was right about it. Directly it begun to rain, and it rained like all fury, too, and I never see the wind blow so. It was one of these regular summer storms. It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside, and lovely; and the rain would thrash along by so thick that the trees of a little ways looked dim and spider-webby; and here would come a blast of wind that would bend the trees down and turn up the pale underside of the leaves; and then a perfect ripper of a gust would follow along and set the branches to tossing their arms as if they was just wild; and next, when it was just about the bluest and blackest—fst! it was as bright as glory and you'd have a little glimpse of tree-tops a-plunging | WIKI |
Your body's reflex points are located on your feet, hands and ears, according to reflexology practitioners. Reflexology is a preventive and complementary massage therapy that's performed by applying thumb pressure to these points for healing and stress relief. Studies from Great Britain, China, Denmark and other nations support reflexology’s effectiveness, and the therapy’s popularity is growing. Reflexology walking paths designed to stimulate reflex points on the feet are springing up in places such as Seattle, Washington. You can use “maps” or charts created by reflexologists to find the locations of your reflex points.
Discovery of Reflex Points
Dr. Joe Shelby Riley first mapped the locations of reflex points on the hands and feet in 1924. Riley showed that pushing on a specific reflex point triggered the body’s ability to heal in a corresponding part of the anatomy. In 1957, neurologist Dr. Paul Nogier proved that similar reflex points existed on the ears. Nogier mapped the ear reflex points and used them to treat illness, as does the integrated form of Foot, Hand and Ear Reflexology developed by the American Academy of Reflexology.
Soles of the Feet
Since your body is symmetrical, your left and right feet have reflex points corresponding to each side. Each toe has multiple reflex points for the head and neck, for example, with the right foot's toes linking to the right side of the head and neck, and the left foot's toes corresponding to the left side of the head and neck. You will find the reflex points for the eyes, ears and sinuses there, while your big toes contain those for the brain, nose and pituitary gland. Moving lower, the area below the toes has reflex points for the thyroid and lungs. Beneath those, you will find points relating to your solar plexus, heart, stomach, spleen, pancreas and kidney. Lower still are points for the small intestines, bladder and colon. Locating these specific reflex points isn't hard -- for example, reflexology charts show the point for the bladder lies directly below your protruding ankle bone, on the inside edges of both feet.
Palms of the Hands
The palms of your two hands also have reflex points corresponding to the left and right sides of your body. The points linking to the head, sinuses and neck, for example, are located at the top and middle sections of the fingers. Those for the ear lie at the base of your fingers, with the thyroid reflex point at the bottom of the thumb. Just below, the points for the lung span the width of the upper palm. The points for the diaphragm, digestive, reproductive organs and urinary tract lie lower still. Additionally, you’ll find the points for the entire spine lying along the inside edge of each hand, starting midway down the thumb. The reflex point for the lower back is located on this same edge, just above the wrist.
Ears
Like the feet and hands, your ears have reflex points that correspond to almost the entire body. Similarly, points on the left or right ear link to areas on the left or right sides of your body, respectively. But unlike the points on the foot and hand, mapped reflex points on the ears depict the body upside down. Reflex points at the top of the ear relate to the lowest part of the body -- the feet -- while points on the bottom of the ear lobe link to the head. That's why you'll find the reflex point for the right eye in the center of the right ear lobe and the point for the left eye in the middle of the left ear lobe. Free charts from the AAR and other reflexology sources are available online to help you find the reflex points on your ears, hands and feet (see the Resources section).

-- Morgan Stanley Raises Year-End Forecast for Euro Versus Pound to 87 Pence
Morgan Stanley raised its year-end
forecast for the euro against the pound as the U.K.’s efforts to
reduce its budget deficit may crimp growth, while the European
Central Bank focuses on damping inflation expectations. “The euro’s fundamentals are improving and the U.K. faces
many challenges as it tries to tighten fiscal policy,” Stephen Hull , London-based head of global currency strategy, wrote in an
investor note dated yesterday. “The euro will likely be one of
the strongest global currencies for the remainder of 2010.” Morgan Stanley raised its fourth-quarter forecast for the
euro against the pound to 87 pence from 83 pence, according to
the note. The pound was little changed at 85 pence as of 8:40 a.m. in
London. To contact the reporter on this story:

3 Growth Stocks to Add Flavor in a Bland Restaurant Industry
Troubles broiling in the U.S. restaurant industry over the past few quarters are known to all by now.
The amalgamation of consumer spending uncertainty in dining out, rising costs, weak comps, higher restaurant prices, decline in at-home food costs, market saturation and changing preferences of consumers has been weighing on sales and hurting performance. Resultantly, over a year, while Zacks Restaurant Industry gained 5.2%, the broader index added 12.9%.
However, despite the buzz over the so-called restaurant recession, a gradually improving U.S. economy - courtesy of a solid employment picture, rising wages, higher real income and increased household net worth - has reinforced consumer confidence and sentiment. In fact, the Consumer Confidence Index climbed from July's reading of 120 to 122.9 in August.
This positive sentiment is likely to encourage consumers to dine out more and thereby put a check on declining traffic. In fact, restaurants are likely to be the first to gain from an improving economy and employment trend. Besides, restaurateurs are undertaking various sales building and digital initiatives to enhance guest experience and, in turn, drive traffic and comps.
Furthermore, according to the National Restaurant Association, 2017 is set to be the eighth consecutive year of real sales growth in this industry.
Additionally, long-term trends favoring eating out over eating at home are still in place. Thus, operators with solid fundamentals along with sufficient capacity for innovation and willing to evolve and stand out in a competitive market will continue to reap profits and remain compelling bets.
3 Restaurant Growth Plays
Growth investors look for stocks with aggressive earnings or revenue growth potential, which propel share price. With the help of the Zacks Style Score system, we have identified three restaurant stocks with excellent growth potential. These stocks have a solid Zacks Rank as well.
Our research shows that stocks with a Growth Style Score of A or B when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) offer the best opportunities in the growth investing space.
Here we put the spotlight on three restaurant stocks that are poised for healthy growth:
Headquartered in Louisville, KY, Papa John's International Inc.PZZA operates and franchises pizza delivery and carry-out restaurants under the brand Papa John's. To become the leading chain of pizza delivery restaurants in each of its targeted markets, the company has developed a strategy to enhance customer satisfaction and retention, as well as establish recognition and acceptance of the brand. Notably, in this regard, this Zacks Rank #2 company's commitment to provide quality food along with focus on product and digital innovation to attract new customers as well as drive growth and efficiency bodes well. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here .
Notably, the stock carries a Growth Score of B. Moreover, the company has been seeing an upward trend in earnings estimate revision. Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has increased 1.4%. Additionally, for 2017, sales growth is pegged at 4.5% while EPS is likely to grow a solid 11.8%. Further, the stock has a long-term expected EPS growth rate of 13%.
Based in Columbus, OH, Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, Inc.BBRG is an owner and operator of two distinct Italian restaurant brands, BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille. Notably, the long-term growth prospects of this Zacks Rank #2 company are compelling given continual focus on driving traffic via improvement in guest satisfaction scores and enhanced hospitality training program, menu innovation and other sales-driving initiatives.
Notably, the company flaunts a Growth Score of A. Moreover, an 8.3% rise in estimate revisions for current-year earnings add to the optimism in the stock. Additionally, for 2017, EPS is likely to witness an increase of 50%. Its long-term projected EPS growth rate is 10.3%.
Headquartered in Lake Forest, CA, Del Taco Restaurants Inc.TACO is the second largest Mexican-American QSR chain by units in the United States, serving more than three million guests each week. This Zacks Rank #2 company's strong expansion plans along with strategic initiatives including effective marketing, menu innovation and provision of limited time offers are likely to drive sales. Additionally, Del Taco's focus on expanding its mobile and online ordering platform as well as testing out delivery options hold well for long-term growth.
Del Taco has a Growth Score of B. Upward estimate revisions for current-year earnings add to the optimism. Moreover, for 2017, sales and EPS are projected to grow a respective 4.5% and 6.3%. Further, the stock has a long-term expected EPS growth rate of 16.7%.
To Conclude
While the restaurant industry is still grappling, effective sales and digital initiatives undertaken, particularly enhanced focus on mobile ordering and delivery to cater to ever-changing wants and needs of customers, are likely to help its stocks in getting their mojo back.
Picking any of the above-mentioned stocks with compelling growth prospects might offer solid returns even in this challenged market and satisfy your investment appetite.

How to Create an Ideal Nighttime Routine For Better Quality Sleep
August 30, 2021
Experts suggest that adults need at least seven hours of sleep at night, but at least one in every three adults doesn’t get enough sleep. So, if you are having a hard time falling or staying asleep at night, you are certainly not alone. There are several reasons why quality sleep may take a hit in our daily lives. From anxiety and stress to health concerns that can affect your rest, getting some quality sleep can feel like a pipe dream.
However, good sleep is more attainable—and more important—than you may think. Lack of sleep can affect your mental, physical, and social health. Your body needs rest to recover from the stresses of the day, and when you don’t give it that, it can affect your well-being. Poor sleep can have several serious consequences, including an increased risk of developing chronic conditions, like diabetes, heart disease, depression, obesity, and high blood pressure.
If you have a hard time getting enough deep, restorative sleep regularly, establishing a bedtime routine could help. By exploring pre-bedtime habits, you can identify and address possible problem areas to promote better sleep. And best of all, your bedtime routine is entirely personalized so that you can experiment until you find something that works for you. Here are five tips to get started on building a stellar nighttime routine and why creating one can help you get the sleep you need.
1. Stay on Schedule
Like most areas of life, consistency is key to success. Going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day is essential to setting your circadian rhythm, which is your body’s internal clock. Circadian rhythms play a vital role in your physical and mental health for a few reasons, mainly because they help your body optimize its processes at various points throughout the day.
One of the most common sleep disorders—insomnia, or the inability to sleep—is most often caused by stress from a busy workday and personal life. Creating a bedtime routine can help combat this issue by allowing your mind and body to relax after an exciting day, especially if you do so at the same time every day. Once you establish to your body that it’s time to start relaxing, it will come to expect it and begin destressing even before you start your routine.
2. Journal It Out
Another reason why many people struggle to sleep is that their mind is still considering the things they have been working on all day or will need to continue working on the following day. Journaling is a great way to get everything off your mind. In one study that included 41 college students plagued by bedtime worries, journaling was shown to reduce bedtime worry, increase sleep time, and improve overall sleep quality.
Journaling doesn’t have to be straightforward. Not only can you write about your day and worries, but you can also include to-do lists, a brain dump page, or doodles to release any other pent-up thoughts, feelings, or worries. By taking just 15 minutes to write out your thoughts, you allow them to take up less space in your mind while still validating your feelings. By the time you’ve written everything down, you’ll be in a better frame of mind for drifting off to sleep.
3. Wind Down Early
Sometimes your body needs extra time to relax after your day, especially if you drank a lot of caffeine throughout your day or ate soon before trying to sleep. Not only should you stop drinking coffee at least six hours before your bedtime, but you should also try to eat a light meal before bed and eat healthier foods that help you sleep, like oatmeal or nuts. Foods high in sugar, coffee, and soda can all impact your ability to fall asleep at night.
Similarly, drinking alcohol before bed can delay sleep and cause insomnia. While alcohol is a depressant and can make you sleepy, the effects wear off quickly and disrupt your circadian rhythm. Plus, if you regularly drink before bed, your tolerance can increase, which will cause you to need more alcohol to reach a state of sleepiness each time you do it. To ensure the best night of sleep possible, consider cutting yourself off earlier in the day.
4. Create a Hygiene Ritual
It’s easy to fall into the habit of doing basic bedtime hygiene—like brushing your teeth, showering, and washing your face—on autopilot. However, performing these routines with more mindfulness can help your brain and body wind down after a stressful day.
To make your hygiene routine even more mindful and relaxing, consider incorporating the following things into your habits:
• Take a warm bath: Create a cozy atmosphere with bath salts, candles, and a good book an hour or two before bed to relax your muscles and mind.
• Avoid bright lights: Consider turning your lights off, dimming them, or using candles instead of your bright bathroom lights.
• Practice mindful washing: Gently wash your face or body without thinking of anything else and imagine washing away the stress of a long day.
• Turn off all electronics while getting ready for bed: The blue light produced by electronic devices can confuse your brain, which links light to daytime.
By performing these actions every night, you signal to your brain that it is time to relax and give yourself the time you need to wind down.
5. Address Sleep Issues with Your Doctor
If a new nighttime routine doesn’t seem to affect the quality of your sleep, it could be a sign of an underlying health issue, like a sleep disorder. Some of the most common sleep disorders include the following:
• Sleep apnea: Interrupted breathing during sleep
• Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Restless leg syndrome: Intense, irresistible urges to move the legs, often right before bed
Each of these sleep disorders leads to insufficient sleep, which can affect the quality of your life or contribute to the worsening or development of other chronic conditions. In these cases, developing a medical treatment plan is necessary to improve symptoms. However, in conjunction with a treatment plan, an established bedtime routine could further improve sleep disorder symptoms and help individuals get deeper, longer sleep and improve their everyday well-being. Reach out to your healthcare provider for more information.
A bedtime routine can help give your brain the time it needs to relax and get ready to sleep. Consider implementing these tips while creating your bedtime routine to get better sleep and feel more well-rested the following day. By creating a schedule for yourself, journaling, giving yourself plenty of time to wind down, creating a hygiene ritual, and talking to your doctor about any concerns you may have, you set yourself up for more restful sleep. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
This Common Merganser is an adult female it is a large, heavy-bodied diving duck with a long, slender orange-red bill and a chestnut brown head with white chin patch. The photo was taken in the mouth of the Glendale River were families of these ducks are common in the spring. The bald eagles are abundant along the coast and will often hunt ducks. It is interesting to watch the eagles in action. It takes two eagles to constantly dive at the ducks until they tire and spend too much time on the surface were they can be caught by the eagle. One of our guides and guests saw an eagle catch a blue heron that was not paying attention. The eagle caught the heron on floating kelp and managed to get it to shore about ten meters (yards) away. Bald eagles can lift up to half their body weight, around 1.8 to 2.3 kg (4 to 5 pounds). Although blue heron are a large bird a national geographic website says that the blue heron is 2.1 to 2.5 kg (4.6 to 7.3 lbs.) so it is possible to lift the heron a short distance. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Man-in-the-Middle Attack Resistant Secret Key Generation via Channel Randomization
Yanjun Pan, Ziqi Xu, Ming Li, Loukas Lazos
Physical-layer based key generation schemes exploit the channel reciprocity for secret key extraction, which can achieve information-theoretic secrecy against eavesdroppers. Such methods, although practical, have been shown to be vulnerable against man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, where an active adversary, Mallory, can influence and infer part of the secret key generated between Alice and Bob by injecting her own packet upon observing highly correlated channel/RSS measurements from Alice and Bob. As all the channels remain stable within the channel coherence time, Mallory's injected packets cause Alice and Bob to measure similar RSS, which allows Mallory to successfully predict the derived key bits. To defend against such a MitM attack, we propose to utilize a reconfigurable antenna at one of the legitimate transceivers to proactively randomize the channel state across different channel probing rounds. The randomization of the antenna mode at every probing round breaks the temporal correlation of the channels from the adversary to the legitimate devices, while preserving the reciprocity of the channel between the latter. This prevents key injection from the adversary without affecting Alice and Bob's ability to measure common randomness. We theoretically analyze the security of the protocol and conduct extensive simulations and real-world experiments to evaluate its performance. Our results show that our approach eliminates the advantage of an active MitM attack by driving down the probability of successfully guessing bits of the secret key to a random guess.

Arduino Webclient with Store and Forward (SAF) Backup to SD Card
If you want to forward data to an external server with a webclient you can have situations that the server is not responding. In this case you might want to save the data as backup on a SD card an retry the transmission at a later time. On this page I would like to show my version of such a Store-and-Forward process.
First I will explain the concept, afterwards the most important functions in the tabs. The Arduino sketch can be downloaded at the end of the page.
The Concept of Store and Forward
Let's assume an Arduino with a webclient should send data periodically to an external webserver. If the webserver is not responding the Arduino should backup the data to a SD Card. The Arduino will transmit the data later, when the webserver is available again. As we want to store data for later usage we need a timestamp. In this example I'm fetching time from a NTP server. Timekeeping could also be done with an I2C RTC DS3231 module. In other words - we need a valid timestamp if the transmission fails.
Bascially we run two main tasks: one is a timer to call the webclient. Another timer will check if we have backup data to be transmitted.
The Webclient Task
By default a timer will send data to a webserver:
If the webserver is not available we store the data on a SD card. We will call this a SAF file (store and forward file):
This will happen each time we want to transmit data. If the webserver is not available, the data will be stored to the SD Card:
I wanted to have all data in the database in the correct order. Therefore the client timer checks if any SAF files are currently stored on the SD Card before the timer fires the new transmission to the server. If SAF files are available the current data will be appended as new SAF file to the SD Card. The transmission to the webserver is (implicit) handed over to the SAF task. Therefore newer data can't be sent as long as older data is stored on the SD card. See following program flow:
There is also a check if we have an actual time. Because it makes no sense to backup data for later usage if we don't know the current time. All timestamps are used in UTC.
The Store and Forward Task
Another task (timer2) will observe the store and forward data storage. If a SAF file is available on the SD card, the oldest (!) file will be transmitted. If the transmission was successful, the SAF file will be deleted from the SD card.
Currently the Store and Forward task only forwards the oldest file. If there are several SAF files on the SD, the next file will be transmitted next second. This is mainly done to not block the loop to long.
In the current implementation I'm storing the full payload of the data to be transmitted. In case of the webclient this includes all clear text parameter names. When the webclient call fails I just take the payload from the webclient and store it to the SAF file. If I process the SAF file I read the content of the SAF file and handover it to the webclient without any further processing. This makes the Store and Forward processing quite simple. Drawback is, that the stored SAF file needs more storage because of the parameter names. On the other hand to use a "larger" SD card if you run out of memory is very easy.
To know the age of a SAF files these files are named with the UTC timestamp in HEX. As a 32bit timestamp can be written with 8 HEX characters and the file system only supports 8.3 - this fits perfect. The file extension for a SAF file is SAF.
The Sketch Example
Please download the sketch at the end of the page. The sketch is organized in several tabs to make reusing easier.
The Main Tab
There is nothing special in the main tab. We need some includes and some configuration. If not already done, install the StreamLib library and the TimeLib library.
The setup() starts the Ethernet shield, initializes the SD Card and starts the UDP for NTP.
The loop() is short - it only calls some functions - the comments should describe what the sketch is doing:
void loop()
{
checkForClient(); // listen for incoming clients - the "webserver"
//timerSD(); // * checks if it is time to write data to SD Card
timerNTP(false); // checks if it is time to sync with NTP
timerClient(); // checks if it is time to send data via client
//timerSafStore(); // * checks if it is time to create a SAF file
timerSafForward(); // check SAF if something ist to be forwarded
}
timerSD() and timerSafStore() are not used, hence commented. I will describe later why.
The Configuration File config.h
The configuration file starts with some pin definitions.
Define your webserver and script.
The ethernet shield needs some definitions. Adopt the IP address to your home network.
The arrays for the digital pins and analog pins are just for this example. You can modify them to your need.
Finally set a fitting NTP server pool for your region.
Post Data with the Client
The client uses 3 functions:
• void timerClient(): this timer checks if it is time to call the clientTrigger.
• void clientTrigger(): this function calls createPayload() and sendMessage(). If the communication with the server fails, the payload gets stored onto the SD Card.
• void createPayload(): this helper functions fills a buffer with the payload. That payload can be either sent with the webclient or stored to the SD Card. This means it is also used by the SAF task.
• byte sendMessage(): This is the client function to post a message buffer to another webserver
The Arduino Ethernet Shield
The Ethernet shield uses pin 10 as chip select. If you are using something different, don't forget to adopt the config.h. There are only two functions for the Ethernet shield
• void ethernetBegin() - which needs to be called in setup. It contains a blocking delay to give the Wiznet chip enough time to wake up.
• void ethernetHardwareInfo() - is optional, it prints some diagnostic data to serial
Retrieving time with NTP (SNTP)
SNTP is used to get time. As mentioned already you could also use a RTC.
• void timerNTP() checks, if a new time syncronization should be started and calls sendNTPpacket. Afterwards ich checks for a short periode, if a NTP server has responded with new NTP time. The code is written as finite state machine and NON BLOCKING.
• void ntpSendPacket(): sends the UDP NTP packet
• int ntpCheckIncomingPacket() checks if we have received a UDP NTP packet and updates time.
The other functions are optional and currently not used. For further explanation of the code, see my page about Arduino and NTP.
Note: I prefer to let the controller run in UTC because this makes time management easier and will work also during the changes of daylight saving parameters. If you need your local time on user frontends - just do the calculation for that user frontend.
Store and Forward - SAF
This sketch is used for the store and forward processing.
• void timerSafForward() Timer to check the store and forward storage and forward data to external server if available
• void timerSafStore() Timer to do measurements and create a Store-And-Forward file. This is used only for testing purposes. As alternative you could withdraw the client timer, let the timerSafStore create SAF files, and transmit the files with timerSafForward
• void safTriggerStore() fetches data and generate a new SAF file on SD
• void safStore() generate a new SAF file on SD
• int safTriggerForward() try to forward the oldest SAF file to the external server
• int safForward() try to forward a specific file to the external server
• uint32_t safCountFile() return number of SAF files on SD and the filename of oldest file
• void listDirectory() a helper function for safCountFile, lists directory and updates filecounter and filename
The SD Card on the Arduino Ethernet Shield
The Arduino Ethernet/SD Shield uses pin 4 as chip select for the SD Card. If you are using a different SD shield, adopt the configuration. I'm using a Sandisk 2GB Micro SD Card - therefore it is formatted in FAT16 as recommended by the writer of the SD library and the results are reliable.
The SD tab only contains one function:
• sdSetup(): initialize SD card reader in setup
Control the Program via Serial
currently there are 3 commands available to be able to control the program flow during runtimge. You can generate an entry to your webserver (g), you can trigger to store a SAF file (s) and you can trigger the forwarding process (f). In a production system you will not need this function.
It's not Working at all!?!
First of all, the demo works fine on an Arduino Mega and even compiles on an UNO. I would not publish the sketch if it wasn't working. The sketch compiles with Arduino IDE 1.8.13 with two warning from the Ethernet Library. To fix this warning you have to patch the Ethernet library (or just accept the warnings).
Sketch uses 27146 bytes (10%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 1290 bytes (15%) of dynamic memory, leaving 6902 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8192 bytes.
If you have any questions, I suggest you use the Arduino.cc forum and ask. Formulate your problem, link to this page and describe where your are struggling.
Summary
This sketch demonstrates a "Store and Forward" backup for data transmission using a SD card as temporary data storage. NTP can be used to gather timestamps for the backup data.

If you want to burn fat without investing in bulky equipment, then I suggest aerobic stepper exercises. With your elevated platform and favourite playlist ready, you can do all sorts of step exercises for a fat-burning routine. The best part is you get to shape up and build muscles on your upper and lower body, too!
How to Burn Fat with Step Exercises
Step aerobics is a cardio and weight-bearing exercise using an aerobic stepper, making it an efficient calorie burner. A simple routine allows you to lose several hundred calories or enjoy a cheat day without weight gain issues. You can even lose up to 450 calories after a 45-minute aerobic step workout!
But if you want to step things up and burn off existing fat, a healthy diet plus high-impact step aerobics are what you need. Here, you’ll have to perform cardio exercises with faster moves or a higher ledge.
A fat-burning step aerobics routine may be intense, but the health benefits are, too. Fat loss reduces your risk of various obesity-related ailments like heart disease, for instance. Vigorous exercise also releases endorphins that uplift your mood and overall well-being. The effects are further enhanced when you do your step aerobics routine with family or friends!
Advanced Step Exercises
You’ll need a good fitness and stamina level to perform advanced aerobic stepper exercises, though. But don’t worry. If you’re a beginner, you can always modify these exercises to match your capability. Lower the height of your aerobic stepper if needed and slow down your training tempo until you’re ready to progress.
1. Straight arm plank-ups
Planking is an effective exercise to build muscle tone. It works particularly well for your triceps, chest and core muscles. And while you can do this without any equipment, planking with an aerobic stepper makes the exercise more dynamic. Also, anyone, including seniors, can pull this move successfully. You can always move more slowly and shorten the exercise duration to plank according to your fitness level:
• Get into a planking position with the exercise stepper in between your chest and hands. Stretch your legs out with your toes touching the floor.
• Now, move your right hand onto the stepper, pushing down as you move the left hand onto the ledge as well.
• Next, move one hand at a time back to the floor before repeating the exercise. The number of repetitions is up to you. You can also place your hands alternately onto the stepper or switch hands at a specific interval.
Health Constitution_Aerobic Stepper Exercises like Step Ups
2. Step-ups
Step-ups are the foundation of many variations of aerobic stepper exercises. It is a simple exercise, but once you master it, you can quicken your steps to increase your calorie burn. Stepping on your stationary block set at a good height can also make easy step-ups more heart pumping. Plus, you get a strong core, quads, calves:
• Set your aerobic stepper to a comfortable but challenging height. Then place your right foot onto the ledge. Your hands should be on your sides.
• Next, push your front heel to lift your other leg. Extend your right leg, while your left leg is level with the stepper.
• Repeat your step-ups as desired, then switch legs.
• For an effective cardio step workout, do a few rounds of quick step-ups. Here, instead of stepping one foot at a time, put your right and left foot alternately on the stepper in quick successions.
3. Weighted step-ups
Adding weight training to your aerobic stepper exercises is a great way to work your quads and core while toning your arm muscles. Ideally, start with plates or dumbbells with a small weight before progressing to heavier ones:
• Stand in front of your aerobic stepper with weights in each of your hand.
• Step your right leg onto the ledge, then bring your left leg up in a bent-knee position. Try to drive your knee as high as you can go.
• Now, release your left leg and step it down. Keep driving your left leg as needed, then switch to exercise the other leg.
• Alternatively, you can swap the knee drives with plate curls so you can work your upper body more.
• Start by stepping your right foot onto the platform. As you lift your left foot onto the ledge, move the weight towards you as you would with a bicep curl. Step down, and simultaneously bring the weighted plates onto your sides as well.
• Repeat as needed, making sure that your elbows are beneath your shoulders as you curl.
Health Constitution_Aerobic Stepper Exercises like Burpees
4. Burpees
The burpee is super versatile as you can do it without equipment or with a chin-up bar. Burpees are also one of the must-haves in your advanced aerobic stepper exercises. These can work wonders for your strength training and weight loss goals. Here’s how to do this exercise:
• Set your aerobic stepper on low. Next, step up onto the ledge, then step down.
• Now, place your hands onto the platform, then push and fully extend your legs to the back. Use your arms to keep your body stable.
• Finally, push your legs through your feet forward to spring back up to starting position.
• Repeat your burpee step-ups a few more times. You can also increase your burpee speed once you’re ready to level up.
5. Side jumps
Also called lateral or slalom jump, this step exercise works out your legs, glutes and core. It can also strengthen your muscles and improve your body coordination:
• Stand to the right-hand side of your aerobic stepper. The feet should be together, with your arms relaxed on your sides.
• Now, spring yourself up and land both feet onto the ledge. Then, jump back down onto the floor.
• Repeat this move a few more times, jumping from side to side in quick successions. Make sure your body is facing forward.
After your aerobic stepper workout, spend time stretching your upper and lower body. Cool-down exercises should normalise your heart rate and protect you from muscle soreness. Now, to help you stay on your fat loss routine, exercise diversity is essential. Try complementing your aerobic stepper exercises with treadmill workouts, or consider signing up for a Pilates session!

Provisioning a controller in a different namespace than the operations center
2 minute read
By default, managed controllers are created in the same namespace as the operations center instance.
If you want to create a managed controller in a different namespace, you need to pre-populate the namespace with the appropriate resources.
1. To prepare a namespace to install a managed controller. use the following example values.yaml file:
OperationsCenter:
Enabled: false
Master:
Enabled: true
OperationsCenterNamespace: ci (1)
Agents:
Enabled: true
1 Replace ci with the actual namespace where the operations center is installed. If the operations center is located in another cluster, it can be set to the same value as the current namespace, then an operations center service account must be created for authentication.
2. Use the following example to perform the installation.
export NAMESPACE=my-team (1)
kubectl create namespace $NAMESPACE || true
helm install ci-masters-$NAMESPACE cloudbees/cloudbees-core --namespace $NAMESPACE -f values.yaml
1 Replace my-team with the actual namespace where the managed controllers will be created.
Controller provisioning configuration
To provision controllers in their own namespaces, each controller must use a specific sub-domain. For example, if the operations center domain is cd.example.org and the URL is https://cd.example.org/cjoc/, a controller dev1 should use the sub-domain dev1.cd.example.org or dev1-cd.example.org. It is often preferable to use the latter if using a wild card certificates for domain example.org.
To configure each controller to use a specific sub-domain, set the 'controller URL Pattern' in the main Jenkins configuration page 'Manage Jenkins → Configure System' under 'Kubernetes controller Provisioning' advanced options. For example if the operations center domain is cd.example.org, the 'controller URL Pattern' would be https://*-cd.example.org/*/.
Provision controllers
The namespace for the controller resources can be configured as the default namespace for all managed controllers in the main operations center configuration screen with the 'namespace' parameter.
The namespace can also specify a specific managed controller in the controller configuration screen with the 'namespace' parameter.
Leave the namespace value empty to use the value defined by the Kubernetes endpoint.
In August 2020, the Jenkins project voted to replace the term master with controller. We have taken a pragmatic approach to cleaning these up, ensuring the least amount of downstream impact as possible. CloudBees is committed to ensuring a culture and environment of inclusiveness and acceptance - this includes ensuring the changes are not just cosmetic ones, but pervasive. As this change happens, please note that the term master has been replaced through the latest versions of the CloudBees documentation with controller (as in managed controller, client controller, team controller) except when still used in the UI or in code. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Not where I want to be.
Sonic (?): Coming summer of 2055...?
Ok I'm exaggerating. Or am I?
I'm on Bunsenlabs Helium (Debian 9). I've installed monodevelop and monogame. I created a new monogame project and tried to build it. Successful build, but no executable.
I've googled the issue and found a few solutions. Installing mono-devel, and mono-complete. No dice. I've tried "Clean all" before building, and nada. The only other solutions seem to involve creating other project types with specific settings which...doesn't really help me if I want to use monogame. Thought I'd ask here before trying my luck on stackoverflow or somethin.
EDIT: Ok so the problem seems to have solved itself? I just opened the project from the file explorer rather than from inside monodevelop and it built...fine.
Monodevelop is still trash though.

MonoDevelop on Linux has only started to degrade over the last few years. As you probably know, it originated on Linux. But in recent years, especially after Microsoft acquired Xamarin and re-branded the Mac build as Visual Studio for Mac, Linux support has taken backseat.
If you compare MonoDevelop 5 years ago to MonoDevelop now, 5 years ago it looked and behaved like an GTK app everywhere, even on macOS. Now it looks like a Mac app even on Linux. Microsoft seems to be investing most of the development into the Mac port, where most of the users are, and only applicable items make it back to Linux. VS for Mac recently got a native editor which is based on the Windows one complete with multi-cursor editing and better intellisense, while MonoDevelop is still stuck with the same editor it's had for a long time.
You might have a better experience with Visual Studio code. You can use it with MonoGame as long as it has the functionality you need. I haven't tried it for that, but a quick search brings up a few results with tutorials how to set it up.

Renée Jeanne Falconetti
Renée Jeanne Falconetti (21 July 1892 – 12 December 1946), sometimes credited as Maria Falconetti, Marie Falconetti, Renée Maria Falconetti, or simply Falconetti, was a French stage and film actress, notable for her acclaimed role as Joan of Arc in Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1928 silent The Passion of Joan of Arc and subsequent mysterious and enigmatic death. There is little recorded information about her life and career on the internet, and much of the existing information about her life is contradictory.
Early life and career
Born in Pantin, Seine-Saint-Denis, Falconetti grew up poor and was schooled by nuns who did not support her acting ambitions. Despite this, she became a stage actress in Paris by entertaining soldiers during World War I. She made a name for herself in the early 1920s, mainly playing roles in light comedies and musicals.
The Passion of Joan of Arc
When Carl Th. Dreyer discovered Falconetti in an amateur theatre production of La Garçonne and selected her for the lead role in his upcoming production La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, she was already a celebrated stage artist at 35 years old. Her portrayal is widely considered one of the more astonishing performances committed to film, and it remained her final cinematic role. Whether or not this is her first film credit is a topic of debate, as some claim that she had two previous film credits, though a supposed interview with Falconetti sees her claim that La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc is her first film role after a few "test pictures."
Many writers have claimed that Falconetti's performance was the result of extreme cruelty at the hands of Dreyer, a notoriously demanding director who pushed her to the brink of emotional collapse. For example, film critic Roger Ebert writes:
"For Falconetti, the performance was an ordeal. Legends from the set tell of Dreyer forcing her to kneel painfully on stone and then wipe all expression from her face – so that the viewer would read suppressed or inner pain. He filmed the same shots again and again, hoping that in the editing room he could find exactly the right nuance in her facial expression." However, in their biography of Dreyer, Jean and Dale Drum say that these stories are based only on rumour and that "there is no evidence that Dreyer could be called a sadist". They quote onlookers who described Dreyer's working relationship with Falconetti: Initially in the production process, "Dreyer and Falconetti would watch the rushes of a single scene together, seven or eight times, until Dreyer could pick out a little bit, maybe a few feet, where the effect was what they wanted, and when they reshot the scene, she could play it without the least inhibition. Just those few feet of film had inspired her." Later, Falconetti became able to play scenes only from Dreyer's explanations, without the need even for rehearsal.
Subsequent career and death
After filming Joan of Arc, Falconetti continued with her career as a producer of light stage comedies, appearing with the Comédie-Française. During World War II, she escaped from France first to Switzerland, Brazil, and then left for Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Falconetti had suffered from mental illness all her life, and in 1946 she died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, an apparent suicide, by a self-imposed restrictive diet after having become significantly overweight. Her remains are interred at Montmartre Cemetery in Paris, section 16 (her grave site is not listed on official maps). Her grandson Gérard Falconetti also became an actor. | WIKI |

oh no please send help im in the nix world again but this time with haskell source plugins and i dont understand anything 😭
As one does, I gave up.
I'm sorry graphmod-plugin and haskell-nix-plugins. I'm sure you work for someone.
In the meantime I can drop into a shell with regular graphmod and get the info I need.
In the meantime, if someone knows how to generate module graphs painlessly for a package build with cabal2nix, I'm all ears
Like, the setup I have is dead simple:
```
let defpkgs = <pinned nixpkgs rev>
in {nixpkgs ? defpkgs}: nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc922.callCabal2nix "packageName" ./. {}
```
And then shell.nix is essentially
```
let pkg = import defpkgs.nix {}
in pkg.env
```
I suppose the simplicity is why I keep thinking generating module visualization should be easy here
@liesnikov yeah, I know that feeling, haha. When nix does click it’s amazing, but it’s really easy to bounce off of when you’re just trying to get somebody else’s project to work.

* Fashion mag shoots
* with the aid of 8 dust brothers Beck, Hanson
* Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
However, the words "the aid of 8 dust brothers" are not spoken in this section. Gregg Alexander clearly sings "Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson", not "Fashion mag shoots with the aid of eight dust brothers Beck, Hanson". The latter version wouldn't even scan.
This isn't even a case of just transcribing the lyrics mindlessly, because some of these sites also transcribe an unsung verse that begins, "Championed by a soulless media misleading/People unaware they're bleeding ..." but with a caption that says "[unsaid lyrics from liner]" to indicate that this verse is not sung in the song.
So where does "the aid of 8 dust brothers" fit into the lyrics? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:14, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Abstract
QuestionsHow do two distant mountain ranges differ in their vegetation-environment relationships, overall species composition and its variability and species richness of vascular plants and bryophytes in alpine fens and bogs? Is the floristic difference consistent along the acidity-alkalinity gradient? LocationWest Carpathians (Poland, Slovakia) and Swiss Alps. MethodsVascular plant and bryophyte species compositions and environmental characteristics were sampled along the large acidity-alkalinity gradient within the alpine belts. PERMANOVA was used for testing floristic differences between the regions, DCA for the patterns description, CCA for testing the vegetation-environment relationships and linear models for testing the local species richness determinants. Compositional -diversity (rate of compositional turnover) and regional species pool were compared using PERMDISP and sample-based rarefaction curves. ResultsMost floristic variation was explained by water pH in both regions. Macroclimate was the second most important gradient in the Alps, correlating with the second DCA axis delimiting the moderately poor brown-moss fens from the Sphagnum bogs. The species composition differed significantly between the regions in all three pH classes, expect for bryophytes in the middle pH class. Bryophytes exhibited higher similarities between the regions, except in acidic mires. Vascular plant composition differed most in the middle pH class. The local species richness was predominantly determined by pH, except for bryophytes in the Alps. As compared to bryophytes, vascular plant local species richness was affected by more factors and showed a clear linear response to pH. Within the particular pH classes, there were few differences in local species richness, compositional -diversity and regional species pool between the two mountain ranges. ConclusionsThe pattern in inter-regional floristic dissimilarities differs between bryophytes and vascular plants, probably because of better dispersal ability of bryophytes, and different causes of these dissimilarities: lower mass effect at extreme ends of the acidity-alkalinity gradient in the case of vascular plants and higher compositional -diversity of acidic mires in the case of bryophytes. Contrary to previously explored alpine springs of the same regions, local species richness and composition were determined rather by pH than mineral richness, and all patterns were more consistent between the regions and the taxonomic groups.

Greektown station
Greektown station is a Detroit People Mover station in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located on Beaubien Street at Monroe Street in the Greektown Historic District, for which it is named. The station's lobby is located inside Hollywood Casino at Greektown, connected to the platform structure by a short skybridge. Its exterior features a large neon sculpture designed by Stephen Antonakos.
The station serves the casino property and the wider Greektown district, and is the nearest People Mover station to Second Baptist Church, the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, and the Wayne County Jail. In 2014, it was the busiest station on the People Mover, tallying a ridership of 559,048 that year.
From September 2011 to September 2012, the station was officially known as MetroPCS-Greektown, under a sponsorship deal with cellular carrier MetroPCS. | WIKI |
-- Galaxy Securities Said to Weigh Valuation Below Top Peers in IPO
China Galaxy Securities Co., seeking
to entice investors to a $1.5 billion initial public offering in
Hong Kong , may offer a lower valuation than those of competitors
including Citic Securities Co., two people with knowledge of the
matter said. The Beijing-based brokerage, controlled by China’s
sovereign wealth fund, is considering a price range that would
value it at about 1.2 times estimated end-2013 book value, said
the people, who asked not to be identified as the deliberations
are private. A slump in Hong Kong’s IPO market is putting pressure on
Galaxy Securities and Sinopec Engineering Group Co. as they seek
to complete they city’s first billion-dollar offerings since
November. IPO proceeds fell to a four-year low of $1.1 billion
in the first quarter, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Citic Securities (6030) , China’s biggest publicly listed
brokerage, trades at 1.68 times estimated 2013 book value in
Hong Kong, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Haitong
Securities Co., which raised HK$14.4 billion ($1.9 billion) in a
share sale in April last year, carries a multiple of 1.35, the
data show. Citic Securities shares have advanced 32 percent since its
September 2011 stock sale in Hong Kong, which valued the
brokerage at 1.28 times book value. Haitong is up 6.6 percent
from its offer price. Both companies also have shares traded in
mainland China. Galaxy Securities plans to start taking orders for its IPO
within two weeks, the people said. The company is trying to
raise more than $700 million from so-called cornerstone
investors, they said. Cornerstone investors typically agree to
hold their stock for six months in return for guaranteed
allocation in an IPO. Founded in January 2007, Galaxy Securities is controlled by
Central Huijin Investment Ltd., a unit of China Investment
Corp., according to the brokerage’s website . An external
spokeswoman for Galaxy Securities declined to comment on the
targeted valuation and order-taking timing. To contact the reporter on this story:

Graphs are often used in bioinformatics for
describing processes in the cell
Vertices are genes or proteins
The meaning of an edge depends on the type of
the graph

What we’re looking for
We
want to find sets of genes that have a
biological meaning.
Idea: find graph

theoretically relevant sets
of vertices and find out if they are also
biologically meaningful.
Simple example: connected components
A more advanced idea: graph clustering.
Find subgraphs that have a high edge

Without cell migrations embryos could not develop, wounds would not heal and the nervous and immune systems could neither form nor function.
Castor (green), FasIII (red) and DAPI stained Drosophila ovariole
The Drosophila ovary is composed of ovarioles, which are strings of developing egg chambers. Each ovariole (shown here) contains precisely two germline stem cells and precisely two somatic stem cells.
Important clues to human lifespan extension have come from studying the natural ability of simple animals to enter into long-lived, stress-resistant states. We have undertaken the first systematic genetic analysis of Drosophila diapause and are deciphering the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. We epect to uncover novel and general mechanisms of stem cell preservation, fertility maintenance, and lifespan extension.
Cells face a continual struggle between life and death, fought at the biochemical level between pro-death and pro-survival stimuli. We recently discovered a surprising reversibility of the cell suicide process known as apoptosis. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

This myth, although mostly incomplete, was central to the Egyptian religion. It explained the importance of the Pharaoh, Ma’at, and establishes the Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife and magic. Egyptian mythology evolved and grew, like many other mythologies in other civilizations. The mythology, like every religion, was important to the Egyptian way of life. It was a guide that explained how to live their lives and to survive their death.
In conclusion, Ancient Egypt has a very complex religion and beliefs that would be considered bizarre in many parts of the world. They believed in many gods, some took part in the creation of the universe. Others brought the flood every year, offered protection and took care of people after they died. The ancient Egyptians thought that it was important to recognize and worship the gods because they represented the peace and harmony across the land. BIBLIOGRAPHY “Egypt.” Encyclopeadia Brittanica: Macropedia.
There were few things to impress themselves upon the Egyptian mind; their psychological impact however was immense. There was the Nile itself, source of all life, there was the mysterious regularity of the Sun, Moon and stars; there was fertility and death. It was out of fear and mystery of these things that "...the Egyptians made their complex heirachy of Gods, and their strange religion. In the service of that religion they made their architecture" (Romer: 75,1982). Thus, the art and architecture of Ancient Egypt stemmed directly from their religion.
It is believed, Atum represents the hills left behind by the Nile River after its annual flood, which the Egyptians also used to grow their cro... ... middle of paper ... ...raoh of Egypt making their rules ligament. The Pharaohs embodied Horus in this life and Osiris in the afterlife, which gained many of the kings love and respect from their people; and also established the law that no one can seize the throne through murder. The origin story and myth of Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nepthys established the rule of the king and laws that the Egyptians followed. The sun was one of the most important things to the Egyptians, because they knew they need the sun for their crops to grow and without they would not be able to survive. From this the sun became their most important god Ra; he became their chief god and was the center of their culture.
The last verse in Judges reads, “In those days there was no king in Israel; all the people did what right in their own eyes” (21:25), this conclusion is perfect for a book whose entire writings describe a time of such turmoil. The most prevalent form of worship throughout the book of Judges is idolatry. This is one of the sins of the covenant but the people of Israel for some reason cannot abandon this tradition among themselves. Idolatry is the worship of an idol, statue, or some other god or gods. The most popular among the people of Israel were Baal and Astartes.
The people of Ancient Egypt believed that the Pharaoh was a god, plus their ruler. Many Pharaohs built large temples to honor their gods. The temples would have large statues and a place to worship. The Ancient Egyptians participated in religious rituals so that the gods could make them live happy lives and give them plenty of food. Only priests could enter the sacred buildings.
The funeral rites with their meaning were described in a series of sacred text known collectively as the Book of The Dead (Cunningham). Osiris was the god who presided over the ceremonies (Cunningham). The Egyptians further conjectured that the deceased would go before the god Anibus, and if they passed a series of sacred test they would eventually move on to live with the gods for all eternity (Hieronimus).
Ancient Mesopotamia Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates was home to the ancient civilizations of Sumer, Babylon, and Akkad. The Mesopotamian people were predominantly of polytheistic faith; the social construct of gods allowed them to develop meaning and order in their lives. Every aspect of life was dominated by the belief that submitting to the worship of gods would shield them from divine wrath. Cities were endowed with patron gods that were guardians and the duty of the ruler was to act upon their behalf. Ziggurats were built to honor the holiness of the gods and to appease them in hopes of attaining their blessings.
Sacrifice was believed to encourage fertility, demonstrate devotion and appease the gods. “The Mayan gods were thought to be nourished by human blood, and ritual bloodletting was seen as the only means of making contact with them.”1 Mayans believed that if they did not follow these rituals then cosmic disorder and commission would be a result. Bahá 'í Faith was founded by Bahá’u 'lláh, in 1863, in Tehran, Iran. Bahá 'í Faith is Monotheistic believing in only one god, emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind. There is three core principles that establish this religions teaching and doctrines this includes the unity of God, the unity of religion, and the unity of humanity.
The afterlife was an essential part of the Egyptian society, and embalming a dead body was a great, ceremonious task that citizens went through. The embalming process was designed to assist the dead in navigating the afterlife and finding peace. There was even a process called the “opening of the mouth”, that allowed the dead to speak and retain their bodily functions. The gods were the rulers of space and time, and the Pharaoh was believed to be a higher human himself. It was he (or she, in some cases) that talked to the gods and bridged their otherworldly bodies to the common folk. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Information is garbage – TechCrunch
I’ve been reading a lot of Neil Postman lately. It’s been one of those years and I’m writing a book about fake news. Postman, the nicest guy in cultural criticism, was a folksy, friendly thinker who imagined the future in which we now live. One of his most important points, made in 1992 before the true data deluge that now befuddles us, is that information has become garbage. He wrote: In the United States, we have 260,000 billboards; 11,250 newspapers; 11,556 periodicals; 27,000 video outlets for renting video tapes; more than 500 million radios; and more than 100 million computers. Ninety-eight percent of American homes have a television set; more than half our homes have more than one. There are 40,000 new book titles published every year (300,000 worldwide), and every day in America 41 million photographs are taken. And if this is not enough, more than 60 billion pieces of junk mail (thanks to computer technology) find their way into our mail-boxes every year. From millions of sources all over the globe, through every possible channel and medium — light waves, airwaves, ticker tapes, computer banks, telephone wires, television cables, satellites, printing presses — information pours in. Behind it, in every imaginable form of storage — on paper, on video and audio tape, on discs, film, and silicon chips — is an ever greater volume of information waiting to be retrieved. Like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, we are awash in information. And all the sorcerer has left us is a broom. Information has become a form of garbage, not only incapable of answering the most fundamental human questions but barely useful in providing coherent direction to the solution of even mundane problems. To say it still another way: The milieu in which Technopoly flourishes is one in which the tie between information and human purpose has been severed, i.e., information appears indiscriminately, directed at no one in particular, in enormous volume and at high speeds, and disconnected from theory, meaning, or purpose. First, let’s address the fact that we exist in a post-information age. The Information Age, which I posit began as early as the late 1800s and stopped at the introduction of the first home computers, was based on the precept that information was power. All of the professions, from politics to legal to medical, were created on a bedrock of difficult-to-obtain experience and education and the recording and storage of important bureaucratic information was the method of control. The quantification of life, from actuarial tables to eugenics, gave numbers the power over life and death. Information was valuable and starkly delineated our lives. In the Information Age there was no room for gray, just black and white. We wrote bits of data into little fields on paper and then into massive mainframes. We were dissected by numbers, defined by our SSNs or the numbers tattooed to our arms. We were ground up by indifference rather than anger and we had no recourse because the computer said we were wrong. This drive to build true computing machinery reached its apex in the 1980s when programming became the arbiter of fairness. If the computer said it was true then it was. This is even reflected in the most popular computer systems of the day – FORTRAN programs, batch jobs, and VAX. These were iron-clad user interfaces designed to allow an adept few control the flow of information. These were machines suited to a few specific purposes and if you wanted to do something new you bought a new machine. This served us well until the true rise of popular general-purpose computing cut down Big Blue and its big iron like a tsunami. And tsunami is an apt description of what we now face. We all generate and consume information on countless screens. Information is now free-form. It’s evident in our move away from formalized data stores into call-and-response APIs. It’s evident in our information-gathering habits – now more a process of grazing than a formal process of gathering. And it’s evident in our media which now comes at us with a force unmatched in history. The world around us wants to offer us all the information all the time and we have no time to assess what is true, what is not, and, most important, what is valuable. Postman saw this coming. He saw the rise of USA Today, the junk food of newspapers. He saw cable news’ “And now..” problem (“The French military general believes war with the United States is inevitable… and now sports.”) He saw the rise of a populace that couldn’t take this all in. What he didn’t foresee was the rise of tools like Facebook and blogging that added to the trash fire of information. I realize the irony of writing this diatribe on a blog but them’s the breaks. In short, information has become so plentiful that it became disposable. And now we reap a fetid crop from those fields. The future is not a boot smashing a face, forever, per Orwell. It’s best and softest slippers sold endlessly on our Facebook feeds, per Aldous Huxley. “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one,” wrote Postman. “Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture.” We need a Postman for this post-information age. We need to give our children an education in sussing out the important information. We need to reduce multi-tasking. The average American adult spends 74 hours per week watching screens. We need to make those hours count. I think new user interfaces aimed at how the human mind truly consumes information will cause a major shift in our media consumption. When we receive aural and visual information as we move through the world and when we can receive them without holding a slab of glass in our hands the importance of what we see and when we see it will become clear. Perhaps we will enter a new Information Age, but one defined by our own needs and delineated by the narrow parameters of our lives. If I’m seeing an AR news feed in my peripheral vision I want pertinent news blips – stock prices, local happenings, international incidents – and not so much info on the Kardashians. That’s the dream, anyway. The reality will be less like the draconian information control of 1984 and more like a distracting bath of soft-focus information lapping over us like water in some Tahitian lagoon. And we’ll love it. “We are a culture consuming itself with information, and many of us do not even wonder how to control the process. We proceed under the assumption that information is our friend, believing that cultures may suffer grievously from a lack of information, which, of course, they do. It is only now beginning to be understood that cultures may also suffer grievously from information glut, information without meaning, information without control mechanisms,” wrote Postman twenty years ago. I wonder what he’d make of our friend these days. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
The Largest Aquariums in Europe | USA Today
London's Sea Life Aquarium underwent a complete renovation in 2008. (Photo: Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images ) While Atlanta's Georgia Aquarium still ranks as the world's largest as of June 2011, travelers to Europe will discover a host of sprawling facilities devoted to the study of marine life. You'll find Europe's aquariums throughout the continent, from Britain to Turkey, and aside from sea life that can only survive in pressure of the ocean's abyssal depths, visitors will be able to see almost every imaginable type of marine creature. Most European attractions have multilingual guides and staff, and provide their displays with English-language descriptions and educational information. Acquario di Genova (acquariodigenova.it) is Europe's second-largest aquarium, hosting 71 tanks over its almost 33,000 square-foot facility. The aquarium is home to more than 500 different species, representing marine life from the Mediterranean and the world's oceans. Visitors can attend daily dolphin and seal shows, and children are welcome to attend the aquarium's sleepovers, during which they'll spend the night sleeping beside the shark tank. Located within downtown Hirtshals, Nordsoen Oceanarium (nordsoenoceanarium.dk) presents exhibits detailing different aspects of the North Sea's ecosystem and inhabitants within its seven wings. Its tanks collectively hold almost a million gallons, and its amphitheater faces the largest tank, giving visitors an unimpeded view of the Oceanarium's marine life. The Oceanarium's Liim Fjord Seal Colony has a glass tunnel running through one of the pools, affording visitors an intimate look at the seals, and the site also hosts exhibits devoted to the North Sea's regional fishing industry. Valencia's Oceanografic (cac.es) is Europe's largest aquarium, a complex that sprawls over almost 361,000 square feet. The aquarium is home to more than 45,000 different fish, birds and mammals, and its guides host regular lectures throughout the installation's habitats. Guests can view belugas, penguins and walruses within Oceanografic's Arctic and Antarctic habitats, and attend daily dolphin shows at the 2,210-sea Dolphinarium. The aquarium also provides a conservation area for endangered turtles and dolphins. London's Sea Life Aquarium (visitsealife.com) presents more than 500 species of marine life across 14 wings, each devoted to a different global marine ecosystem. The aquarium is home to 12 different shark species, and its Shark Walk allows visitors to walk along a glass platform above the shark tank for an intimate view of the marine predators. Its penguin grotto provides windows on its lower level, permitting guests to watch the birds frolic beneath the grotto's waters. Budapest's Tropicarium (tropicarium.hu) is Central Europe's largest aquarium, with exhibits covering more than 9,800 square feet. The facility opened in May 2000 and greeted nearly four million visitors during its first eight years. Its eight different wings replicate habitats of sea and land creatures alike, with exhibits that include a 370,000-gallon shark tank, exotic bird aviary and squirrel monkey habitat. The Tropicarium also allows guests to interact with its rays, giving them the chance to feed and pet the creatures. Istanbul's Turkuazoo (turkuazoo.com) covers more than 26,000 square feet and is home to more than 10,000 denizens of the deep. Its Seatube allows visitors to walk directly through a tank housing approximately 25,000 fish, and adventurous guests can SCUBA dive within the shark tank, where trained staff will provide instruction and guide them through the waters. Turkuazoo offers nightly sleepovers, giving children the chance to spend the night alongside the aquarium's sharks and rays. Since 2006 Jim Orrill has produced reviews and essays on popular culture for publications including Lemurvision and Sexis. Based in Western North Carolina, Orrill graduated cum laude from the University of North Carolina with a bachelor's degree in office systems. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Talk:Thamphthis
German Wikipedia
There's a quite thorough article dealing with this "shadowy figure" in the German Wikipedia: de:Thamphthis. Maybe something from there could be used to expand the article here. Gestumblindi (talk) 22:06, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Chaos
Howdy! Naw, there was a pretty good reason to revert. In NO literaric publication an Shepseskare = Thamphthis-theory is mentioned, for we can´t just go there and implicate one. Shepseskare´s chronological position is very unsure, just likely to Thamphthis. But as I said sooner, there´s NO equalizing of the both rulers!
The best way to resolve this, would be to write an articel extra for Shepseskare. I hope I´m not misunderstood, I don´t wanna dictate anything here, but it´s absolute no-no to put Shepseskare into an Thamphthis-article like this! Greetz; --Nephiliskos (talk) 11:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

* Dear Nephiliskos and Doug Weller,
* If you wish to re-edit and shorten my admittedly long (but fully sourced) contribution on Thampthis and reduce the references to Shepseskare (who was not related to Thampthis), please feel free to do so. I have no strong feelings here. I just mentioned the evidence of Khau-Ptah 's stela to show that an Old Kingdom king's omission from an official's records doesn't prove he didn't exist. That was the idea behind my edit. But for Thampthis, there is no seals for him which makes me doubt he ever existed. Why? Because it is quite easy to destroy most or all traces of an usurper's pyramid, statues or temples but almost impossible to destroy each and every seal or sealing that features the name of a king who is now proscribed...since these are very small items to locate.

Madoff Said From Prison Picower May Have Suspected Fraud, Henriques Writes
Bernard L. Madoff believed that one
of his billionaire investors, Jeffry Picower, may have suspected
him of running a Ponzi scheme , according to a book by Diana B. Henriques. Madoff, serving a 150-year term for the largest Ponzi
scheme in history, said in a prison interview that Picower could
have figured out the fraud at Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities LLC, according to the book. Picower invested
$620 million and withdrew $7.8 billion before Madoff confessed
to his brother and two sons in December 2008. Henriques asked
Madoff who knew of the fraud. “Picower was the only one that might have,” Madoff said.
“I mean how could he not?” In “The Wizard of Lies: Bernard Madoff and the Death of
Trust,” Henriques chronicles how Madoff stole from thousands of
investors around the world while fooling regulators, banks and
hedge funds about his investment returns. She analyzes Madoff’s
deceptive powers, the market forces propelling him, and dozens
of key investors such as Picower. Picower, a lawyer and accountant, “had a genius for making
money in the stock market, a passion for privacy, and a
willingness to take big risks in pursuit of big rewards,”
Henriques writes. Picower also had been victimized by a Ponzi scheme in the
1970s, she said. He began investing with Madoff in the late
1970s, controlling dozens of accounts. By the late 1990s,
Picower’s separate trading account at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
was worth $10 billion, she writes. ‘Exploit the Leverage’ “Was he now astute enough to realize what Madoff was doing
and devious enough to exploit the leverage that knowledge gave
him?,” Henriques writes. “Madoff often suspected that the
answer was yes.” Picower had a heart attack and drowned in his pool in Palm
Beach , Florida , in October 2009 at age 67. He wasn’t charged
with a crime, although the bankruptcy trustee recovering money
for Madoff’s victims, Irving Picard , sued him for $7.2 billion. Last December, Picower’s widow, Barbara, agreed to forfeit
the entire $7.2 billion to victims. She said she wanted to
resume her philanthropic gifts, and she was “absolutely
confident that my husband Jeffry was in no way complicit in
Madoff’s fraud.” Madoff told Henriques that he helped Picower avoid income
taxes on short-term stock trades in the 1980s. Still, Picower
was among Madoff’s big investors who withdrew money after the
1987 stock market crash, putting the firm in a cash bind and
possibly setting the stage for the Ponzi scheme, Henriques
writes. Private Jet Flights While Picower and his wife shared dinners and private jet
flights with Madoff and his wife, the friendship was a sham,
Madoff said. In the first of two prison interviews, Madoff said:
“Picower had no friends. He was a very strange person. It was
always a very tense relationship.” The Picowers withdrew $400 million from Madoff’s fund in
1997, $500 million in 1998, $600 million in 1999, and $3.4
billion from 2000 to 2003. One of the “deepest mysteries” is
why Madoff didn’t dump Picower, who was “shrewd enough to know
that he shouldn’t leave his possibly fictional profits in
Madoff’s hands for very long,” writes Henriques, a reporter for
the New York Times. “Perhaps he simply figured that he’d continue to milk
Madoff’s fraud-fed accounts until the money finally ran out,
knowing that Madoff had no choice but to let him do so,” she
writes. ‘Keep Him Attached’ “I had to keep him attached to me,” Madoff told the
author. Henriques writes of “separating the villains from the
victims, the knaves from the fools” in the Madoff affair. “If
Picower was numbered among the fools, he became one of the
richest fools in the crowd richer, by far, than the people
who were certainly villains, including Madoff himself,” she
writes. William Zabel, Picower’s attorney, said U.S. prosecutors
and Picard didn’t find any illegal conduct by Picower or proof
of his complicity in the fraud. “If he was so smart, he wouldn’t have left several billion
dollars, including his entire charitable foundation money, with
Madoff,” Zabel, who remains an attorney for Barbara Picower and
her husband’s estate, said in an interview. “I believe that Mr.
Picower did not know that Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme.” Wife, Sons Henriques concludes that three members of Madoff’s family his wife Ruth, and his sons Andrew and Mark weren’t
villains even though they were demonized by the public. The sons
worked at the firm and were stunned by his confession in
December 2008, Henriques writes. Ruth was 18 when she married Madoff in 1959. Her father was
an accountant who helped Madoff, then a young stock broker,
raise $30,000 to conceal losses in customer accounts. Henriques writes that Madoff’s family was unfairly
pilloried after Madoff’s arrest in 2008. “No one seriously disputed that Madoff had successfully
and repeatedly hidden his crime from regulators, foreign
accounting firms, hedge fund due-diligence teams, and his
savviest professional investors,” she writes. “Why was it so implausible that he had hidden it from his
wife, who had no official role at the firm, and from his sons,
who worked in a separate part of the business and learned only
as much about his private, closely held investment management
business as Madoff chose to tell them?” “Motive to Flee’ She said that while the sons had “the opportunity, the
means, and the motive to flee,” they didn’t do so, and they
weren’t charged with a crime. Madoff’s younger brother, Peter,
who spent almost four decades at the firm, is a subject of the
investigation by federal prosecutors in New York, according to
court papers in a federal lawsuit by the foundation of U.S.
Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey and his children. The
Lautenberg family and the fund seek $9 million in that lawsuit. Picard sued Madoff’s wife, sons and other family members,
seeking almost $200 million of victims’ money he claims that
they spent. Mark Madoff committed suicide on Dec. 11, the two-year
anniversary of his father’s arrest. Ruth Madoff forfeited $80 million in assets. Henriques says Ruth Madoff told a source, “I had a love
affair with someone for fifty years I couldn’t abandon him,
even though he had committed a terrible crime. If you had a
grown child who committed a terrible crime, what would you do?
Would you abandon him?” “So she stayed,” Henriques writes, “apparently staggered
by the crime but somehow unable to desert the man who had
committed it.” To contact the reporter on this story:

Arignar Anna Government Higher Secondary School
Arignar Anna Government Higher Secondary School is a school in Kumbakonam, a town in the Thanjavur district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Inauguration
This school was inaugurated on 10 November 1919 by Mohamed Habibullah Sahib Bahadur, the then Municipal Councillor of Kumbakonam.
History
Before inauguration the school was functioning in the house of Nataraja Pillai in Kambatta Visvanathar East Street in Kumbakonam. While there was a need for accommodating the school, Gurunatha Pillai who was living very near to the house of Nataraja Pillai, gave way 3 acre of land. From then this was called as Gurunatha Pillai School. Started with 20 students, it has now 600 students and 32 teachers. Wards of daily wage workers and labours studied in this school and performed well. In sports and other fields such as literature, arts such as drama, photography, kabbadi and others the school has a special place in Thanjavur district. Many students participate in those competitions and got good rank. During the period of Kunchithapatham Chettiar, as Chairman of Kumbakonam Municipality, a new building was opened on 31 October 1955. During 1973 this school became Arignar Anna Municipal High School. In 1977-78 it became Arignar Anna Government Higher Secondary School.
Centenary celebrations
In order to conduct the centenary celebrations, the alumni of the school arranged meetings on 16 June 2019, 14 July 2019 and on 15 March 2020. During the meetings alumni participated in the meetings and among others, the following decisions were made:
* To start Smart class, to acquire furniture to the classrooms and to raise the compound wall of the school.
* To award prize to the X and XII students who got good ranks and to reimburse the tuition expenses of the poor students.
* To invite the teachers, including the retired teachers who were behind the success of the students with high percentage of marks.
* To set up a library and donate books.
* To unveil the portrait of Gurunatha Pillai who was instrumental by donating the land to school.
* To publish a souvenir in commemoration of the Centenary Celebrations.
* To conduct the centenary celebrations in May 2020
Administration
V.Sarathy is the present headmaster of the school. | WIKI |
Introduction to linked data & knowledge graphs
Why we need linked data and what do knowledge graphs do?
The challenges of scattered data
Developers constantly struggle with discovering, sharing and managing data coming from different systems in different formats. This requires understanding, structuring, integrating and verifying the data each time new features or applications are built based on that data.
In Web2, discoverability is enabled by search engines, which return a list of web links based on the query you search for. Sharing and managing data is governed by centralised services and protocols which do not share common data structures and interfaces, making it complicated to access and use this data.
As a simple example, let's consider a traditional relational (SQL) database dataset like the one below
id
user
address
GLN
987
ACME company
Awesome st 2044, NY
123456789
Another system might keep some more data on this in another format, such as a CSV
company_name;company_address;email
ACME company; Awesome st 2044, NY; [email protected]
As humans, we can quickly understand that this data is related to the same thing (ACME company), however it's not so obvious to software, as it generally doesn't have enough context. To use the example data above in apps one needs to resolve the challenges of having different data structures, schemas, means of access - requiring many operations to understand, integrate and validate the datasets. For example, how would you query for the email address of ACME company? This is where the Semantic web helps.
What is linked data and the Semantic Web?
"The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data." - Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web and Semantic Web
The core idea behind linked data is to actually represent all things with relationships between them in a common graph. Linked data is built on primitives called "triples", which connect a subject entity, with an object entity via a relationship.
Example of a triple, with subject being Acme company and object being the address value
Triples are great because they can be used to create more complex data structures - graphs. Roughly speaking, connecting two triples gives us this.
Integrating the two above mentioned example datasets according to the principles of Semantic web will therefore render a graph structure like this.
Having such a "semantic network" of data, we inherently add context and enable easy extensions. The semantic graph can be easily queried in many ways and enables growing a body of knowledge around things, rather than keeping "tables of strings".
In the coming sections we will show you how to use the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph for data discovery and querying, however let's first explain what a knowledge graph is.
What is a knowledge graph?
There are many definitions of knowledge graphs (KGs), all slightly different. Without emphasising on precision, all of them point to a knowledge graph as a network of entities — physical & digital objects, events or concepts — illustrating the relationship between them (aka a semantic network). KGs are used by major companies such as Amazon, Google, Uber, IBM etc. for various applications: search, data integration, knowledge reasoning, recommendation engines, analytics, machine learning and AI etc.
Key characteristics of knowledge graphs are:
• focus on data connections as "first class citizens" (linked data)
• designed to ingest data from multiple sources, usually in different formats
• flexible data models, easily extendable
For the moment we restrict this document only to a high level introduction and encourage the reader to research resources on the semantic web and knowledge graphs available online.
Commonly knowledge graphs are deployed within the domain of one organisation and are designed to capture knowledge from various sources both from within and outside of the organisation. These centralised knowledge graphs generate huge value for their owners, yet a decentralised globally shared knowledge graph brings orders of magnitude higher value to everyone participating. We present the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph as the first permissionless, global open decentralized knowledge graph - read on. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Abstract:
The realization of artificial photosynthesis in the photocatalytic CO2 transformation into valuable chemicals or solar fuels, such as CO, CH4, HCOOH, and CH3OH, by solar-light harvesting is a promising solution to both global-warming and energy-supply issues. Recently, zinc oxide (ZnO) has emerged as an excellent oxidative photocatalyst among non-titanium metal oxides due to its availability, outstanding semiconducting and optical properties, non-toxicity, affordability, and ease of synthesis. However, ZnO wide bandgap and inability to absorb in the visible region has demanded particular modification for its practical use as a sustainable photocatalyst. This review provides a panorama of the latest advancement on ZnO photocatalysis for CO2 reduction with an overview of fundamental aspects. Various modification strategies such as transition metal and non-metal doping, loading of plasmonic metals, and surface vacancy engineering for tunning the properties and improving the performance of ZnO are elaborated. Composites or hetero-structuralization-based Z-scheme formation is also presented along with a detailed photocatalytic reduction mechanism. Moreover, a new novel Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterostructure modification with a charge transfer pathway mechanism is also highlighted. Finally, the key challenges and new directions in this field are proposed to provide a new vision for further improvement for ZnO-based photocatalytic CO2 conversion. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn → Prospect Lefferts Gardens — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2011 (UTC) In discussions with local inhabitants, it has been determined that the neighborhood is most properly referred to as Prospect Lefferts Gardens without a hyphen. According to Bob Marvin, an oft quoted and local resource, some of the confusion appears to stem from the naming of the historic district "Prospect-Lefferts Gardens" which was given a hyphen for unknown reasons by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The historic district, however, is only a part of Prospect Lefferts Gardens and this would not result in the overall name having a hyphen. Few residents refer to the complete area as having a hyphenated name and either its usage here is incorrect or has gone out of use.

I support removing the hyphen from the neighborhood name (Prospect Lefferts Gardens) and ONLY using it when referring to the Historic District (since the use of the hyphenated name started with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission). I was a member of the PLGNA Committee that worked on the Historic District designation in the '70s and recall being surprised when LPC added a hyphen but no one wanted to make an issue of such a minor point when we were very anxious just to get our Historic District established by the City. The name "Prospect Lefferts Gardens was coined c.1968 by the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Neighborhood Association (PLGNA) and that organization has NEVER used a hyphen in the name.

* Weak oppose, for now. My searches in Google Books and the New York Times show about an even split between "Prospect-Lefferts Gardens" and "Prospect Lefferts Gardens". I don't see a strong enough case to rename the article, but I'm open to new evidence. Dohn joe (talk) 23:16, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
* Comment. I also have a cite here from the New York Times also showing it without a hyphen. New York Times
I would have to disagree at this point that you're open to evidence. I live in the community and am in contact with the people who actually named the community. In this case where Google searches are clearly going to contradict each other, Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources is not going to resolve this. If anything, it's the hyphen on the Wikipedia page which continues to proliferate the name of the community using the hyphenation. I gave you a link to the organization which named the community. They don't use a hyphen.
Also looking at your searches, you are confusing some citations of the historic district (which does have a hyphen) with the greater Prospect Lefferts Gardens which does not. Additionally the local sources I provided should be given far greater weight. If the Brooklyn Paper calls it "Prospect Lefferts Gardens" I would consider that extremely compelling.
--Plognyc (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
* I'm just calling 'em how I see 'em. Most of the sources in my searches predate the creation of this page, and indeed the creation of Wikipedia, and they still seem pretty split to me. And it doesn't seem to matter what kind of source it is: newspapers, magazines, travel guides, books, essays, government docs, scholarly articles, etc. are all split in including or excluding the hyphen. Same for sources that don't expressly discuss the historic district - they're split. As for being open to new evidence, if you can show that the trend in newer sources is to exclude the hyphen, or if there's a reliable source that says, "The hyphen only applies to the official historic district", or something along those lines, I'd be glad to reconsider - it's only a weak oppose. Dohn joe (talk) 02:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* Comment. As the reliable sources section states "Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made and is the best such source for that context." It's clear that sources that are local to the neighborhood refer to it without a hyphen. These sources are more credible in the same way that a source in Shanghai would be more reputable about that city than a publisher in Los Angeles.
You ask to "show that the trend in newer sources is to exclude the hyphen" but each time I respond to your requests, you then simply do your own research and make a new argument. You asked "Could you provide some links from local newspapers talking about the neighborhood, for example?" I did so. You then rebutted it with a new argument ignoring local newspapers and stating that a more comprehensive search showed that usage was split. --Plognyc (talk) 13:54, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* I'm trying to take in all the evidence. And I still see an even split wherever I look. There are several Brooklyn-based sources that do use the hyphen - see this book, published by Brooklyn College Press; or this one, written for the Brooklyn Historical Society. Overall, the split between hyphenation and non-hyphenation is so close that I think either name would be acceptable as a title. But conversely, that means that I don't know if there's sufficient evidence to move it. Dohn joe (talk) 19:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
* Comment. One of the books you are referring to is from 1979. I do not find that compelling. I am going to have to get some primary source information - such as a letter from one of the founders of the community - and appeal the decision. Hopefully someone will allow us the right to determine the name of our own community? The reliable source guidelines state "It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." I think we left common sense behind at some point here. I have already agreed that Google searches are clearly going to contradict each other and Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources is not going to resolve this. Hopefully that doesn't mean that the entry can't be changed just because whoever created the entry happened to choose to hyphenate the name. --Plognyc (talk) 23:08, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Most gentrified neighborhood?
This seems hyperbolic. Source? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:15, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I am tired of always trying to guess, if I should escape special characters like '()[]{}|' etc. when using many implementations of regexps.
It is different with, for example, Python, sed, grep, awk, Perl, rename, Apache, find and so on. Is there any rule set which tells when I should, and when I should not, escape special characters? Does it depend on the regexp type, like PCRE, POSIX or extended regexps?
up vote 307 down vote accepted
Which characters you must and which you mustn't escape indeed depends on the regex flavor you're working with.
For PCRE, and most other so-called Perl-compatible flavors, escape these outside character classes:
.^$*+?()[{\|
and these inside character classes:
^-]\
For POSIX extended regexes (ERE), escape these outside character classes (same as PCRE):
.^$*+?()[{\|
Escaping any other characters is an error with POSIX ERE.
Inside character classes, the backslash is a literal character in POSIX regular expressions. You cannot use it to escape anything. You have to use "clever placement" if you want to include character class metacharacters as literals. Put the ^ anywhere except at the start, the ] at the start, and the - at the start or the end of the character class to match these literally, e.g.:
[]^-]
In POSIX basic regular expressions (BRE), these are metacharacters that you need to escape to suppress their meaning:
.^$*
Escaping parentheses and curly brackets in BREs gives them the special meaning their unescaped versions have in EREs. Some implementations (e.g. GNU) also give special meaning to other characters when escaped, such as \? and +. Escaping a character other than .^$*(){} is normally an error with BREs.
Inside character classes, BREs follow the same rule as EREs.
If all this makes your head spin, grab a copy of RegexBuddy. On the Create tab, click Insert Token, and then Literal. RegexBuddy will add escapes as needed.

It seems to me you forgot the "/", which also needs to be escaped outside a class. – jackthehipster Jan 14 '15 at 8:23

/ is not a metacharacter in any of the regular expression flavors I mentioned, so the regular expression syntax does not require escaping it. When a regular expression is quoted as a literal in a programming language, then the string or regex formatting rules of that language may require / or " or ' to be escaped, and may even require `\` to be doubly escaped. – Jan Goyvaerts Feb 6 '15 at 23:39

what about colon, ":"? Shall it be escaped inside character classes as well as outside? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_Compatible_Regular_Expressions says "PCRE has consistent escaping rules: any non-alpha-numeric character may be escaped to mean its literal value [...]" – nicolallias May 22 '15 at 14:05
• 4
MAY be escaped is not the same as SHOULD be escaped. The PCRE syntax never requires a literal colon to be escaped, so escaping literal colons only makes your regex harder to read. – Jan Goyvaerts Jun 9 '15 at 7:52

For non-POSIX ERE (the one I use most often because it's what's implemented by Tcl) escaping other things don't generate errors. – slebetman Aug 21 '15 at 4:47
Modern RegEx Flavors (PCRE)
Includes C, C++, Delphi, EditPad, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP (preg), PostgreSQL, PowerGREP, PowerShell, Python, REALbasic, Real Studio, Ruby, TCL, VB.Net, VBScript, wxWidgets, XML Schema, Xojo, XRegExp.
PCRE compatibility may vary
Anywhere: . ^ $ * + - ? ( ) [ ] { } \ |
Legacy RegEx Flavors (BRE/ERE)
Includes awk, ed, egrep, emacs, GNUlib, grep, PHP (ereg), MySQL, Oracle, R, sed.
PCRE support may be enabled in later versions or by using extensions
ERE/awk/egrep/emacs
Outside a character class: . ^ $ * + ? ( ) [ { } \ |
Inside a character class: ^ - [ ]
BRE/ed/grep/sed
Outside a character class: . ^ $ * [ \
Inside a character class: ^ - [ ]
For literals, don't escape: + ? ( ) { } |
For standard regex behavior, escape: \+ \? \( \) \{ \} \|
Notes
• If unsure about a specific character, it can be escaped like \xFF
• Alphanumeric characters cannot be escaped with a backslash
• Arbitrary symbols can be escaped with a backslash in PCRE, but not BRE/ERE (they must only be escaped when required). For PCRE ] - only need escaping within a character class, but I kept them in a single list for simplicity
• Quoted expression strings must also have the surrounding quote characters escaped, and often with backslashes doubled-up (like "(\")(/)(\\.)" versus /(")(\/)(\.)/ in JavaScript)
• Aside from escapes, different regex implementations may support different modifiers, character classes, anchors, quantifiers, and other features. For more details, check out regular-expressions.info, or use regex101.com to test your expressions live
• There are many errors in your answer, including but not limited to: None of your "modern" flavors require - or ] to be escaped outside character classes. POSIX (BRE/ERE) doesn't have an escape character inside character classes. The regex flavor in Delphi's RTL is actually based on PCRE. Python, Ruby, and XML have their own flavors that are closer to PCRE than to the POSIX flavors. – Jan Goyvaerts Feb 23 '17 at 8:05
• @JanGoyvaerts Thanks for the correction. The flavors you mentioned are indeed closer to PCRE. As for the escapes, I kept them that way for simplicity; it's easier to remember just to escape everywhere than a few exceptions. Power users will know what's up, if they want to avoid a few backslashes. Anyway, I updated my answer with a few clarifications that hopefully address some of this stuff. – Beejor Mar 7 '17 at 3:15
Unfortunately there really isn't a set set of escape codes since it varies based on the language you are using.
However, keeping a page like the Regular Expression Tools Page or this Regular Expression Cheatsheet can go a long way to help you quickly filter things out.

The Addedbytes cheat sheet is grossly oversimplified, and has some glaring errors. For example, it says \< and \> are word boundaries, which is true only (AFAIK) in the Boost regex library. But elsewhere it says < and > are metacharacters and must be escaped (to \< and \>) to match them literally, which not true in any flavor – Alan Moore Mar 7 '17 at 5:00
POSIX recognizes multiple variations on regular expressions - basic regular expressions (BRE) and extended regular expressions (ERE). And even then, there are quirks because of the historical implementations of the utilities standardized by POSIX.
There isn't a simple rule for when to use which notation, or even which notation a given command uses.
Check out Jeff Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions book.
Unfortunately, the meaning of things like ( and \( are swapped between Emacs style regular expressions and most other styles. So if you try to escape these you may be doing the opposite of what you want.
So you really have to know what style you are trying to quote.
Sometimes simple escaping is not possible with the characters you've listed. For example, using a backslash to escape a bracket isn't going to work in the left hand side of a substitution string in sed, namely
sed -e 's/foo\(bar/something_else/'
I tend to just use a simple character class definition instead, so the above expression becomes
sed -e 's/foo[(]bar/something_else/'
which I find works for most regexp implementations.
BTW Character classes are pretty vanilla regexp components so they tend to work in most situations where you need escaped characters in regexps.
Edit: After the comment below, just thought I'd mention the fact that you also have to consider the difference between finite state automata and non-finite state automata when looking at the behaviour of regexp evaluation.
You might like to look at "the shiny ball book" aka Effective Perl (sanitised Amazon link), specifically the chapter on regular expressions, to get a feel for then difference in regexp engine evaluation types.
Not all the world's a PCRE!
Anyway, regexp's are so clunky compared to SNOBOL! Now that was an interesting programming course! Along with the one on Simula.
Ah the joys of studying at UNSW in the late '70's! (-:
• 'sed' is a command for which plain '(' is not special but '\(' is special; in contrast, PCRE reverses the sense, so '(' is special, but '\(' is not. This is exactly what the OP is asking about. – Jonathan Leffler Dec 30 '08 at 8:43
• sed is a *nix utility that uses one of the most primitive sets of regexp evaluation. PCRE doesn't enter in to the situation I describes as it involves a different class of (in)finite automata with the way it evaluates regexps. I think my suggestion for the minimum set of regexp syntax still holds. – Rob Wells Dec 31 '08 at 1:32

On a POSIX-compliant system, sed uses POSIX BRE, which I cover in my answer. The GNU version on modern Linux system uses POSIX BRE with a few extensions. – Jan Goyvaerts Dec 31 '08 at 7:30
Really, there isn't. there are about a half-zillion different regex syntaxes; they seem to come down to Perl, EMACS/GNU, and AT&T in general, but I'm always getting surprised too.
For PHP, "it is always safe to precede a non-alphanumeric with "\" to specify that it stands for itself." - http://php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.escape.php.
Except if it's a " or '. :/
To escape regex pattern variables (or partial variables) in PHP use preg_quote()

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duncorn Hill
The result was no consensus to delete, default to keep. First agree on what makes a named hill "notable" or "unnotable", then come back & decide whether to keep or merge this material. One could argue, in analogy with settlements, that all named geographical landmarks are notable, or, only those with a clear historic, geological, or geographical value are notable. But no one has made a convincing argument to prefer one over the other -- leading to the present stalemate. No harm keeping this article until that point is agreed on. -- llywrch (talk) 16:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Duncorn Hill
* – ( View AfD View log )
Non-notable hill. This was a supposed hill fort, but according to the source given in the article, an archaeological investigation in 1966 found that the apparent evidence of a fort was just natural rock formations. So without evidence of a fort fort, we're left with a hill that might be notable for once being thought of as being the site of a hill fort. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Pontificalibus (talk) 20:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete When the article was written it said there was a Bronze or Iron Age hillfort, which would have been notable. I found the source for a survey in 1966 saying the features thought to be man made were natural & therefore the hill itself is non notable.— Rod talk 20:52, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
* (ec) Delete This is an interesting situation. Had there definitely been a hillfort on Duncorn Hill, it would most certainly be notable, however as Pastscape notes the scarps are natural and it seems that the identification of the site as a hillfort was based solely on the artificial appearance of the scarps. So what this boils down to is are the archaeological excavations enough to constitute notability. In this case I don't believe they do; archaeologists wouldn't consider the site of interest (except perhaps in contrast to previous notions about it being a hillfort) and this doesn't seem to have been picked up in other publications. Perhaps a line can be added to the Nailwell article, but it may not even be worth mentioning at all. Nev1 (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
* Keep Per its talk page the 1966 investigation of the hill site has lots of sources and the article itself has references to back the facts up. It may not be considered a Bronze Age/Iron Age hillfort now, but the hillfort does have its own notabilty for its own article. However, I do believe that this article was a mistake but surely this could be worth keeping. Jaguar (talk) 21:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
* Keep Notable hill, being amongst other things, a source of fuller's earth. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Did you find any sources to establish the notability of that? I'm sure it's also a source of grass for example, but that doesn't automatically make it notable.--Pontificalibus (talk) 08:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Yes, of course - do you suppose I would just invent this information? See, for example, Geology of East Somerset and the Bristol coal-fields, The Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, The Jurassic rocks of Britain, Handbook to Bath, etc. There is not the slightest case for deletion so please see the deletion process which explains the appropriate checks to be made before starting an AFD. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* I did make those checks, which is why I said "No significant coverage in reliable sources" in my nomination. All the sources you quote contain only the briefest of mentions. If there is significant coverage out there, it needs to be demonstrated.--Pontificalibus (talk) 13:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Would you mind giving us the exact line of the source that mentions this? I don't seem to be able to access it, and I want to be sure that it's not just a reference to the general area but specifically talks about how this hill in particular is a source.--Yaksar (let's chat) 16:32, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Please?--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Ok, I found the source myself. It literally just says something along the lines of: Fuller's earth has also been found at, and then has a list which includes the hill. It in no way considers it a significant site for this, and indeed it's not like it's a place where there's a mine or an active operation to get fuller's earth.--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:04, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Note: This debate has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. -- Danger (talk) 11:01, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete. Only the last ref gives it more than a passing mention. A fuller (sorry) version is at English Heritage's Pastscape site, which makes clear that the mis-identification as a hill fort was in a single book published by a local excavation club, the author of which told EN it was "based as the artifical appearance of a scarp as seen from the road to the south". If it had been a widespread mis-identification I would probably have argued for merging somewhere, but I found no evidence that it ever widely thought to be a hill fort. Qwfp (talk) 12:19, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
* Keep The first reference in the article says the government has already declared it to be a notable landmark. D r e a m Focus 01:11, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* You're confusing Wikipedia's definition of notable with that of the real world. The document says that Duncorn is one of many hills in the landscape that act as a landmark. By all means, Duncorn Hill should be included in an article discussing the landscape of the area, but the source certainly doesn't prove that the hill is independently notable. Nev1 (talk) 01:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* This is just plain false. The citation is a World Heritage Site study that names nearly a dozen local topographical features as "local landmarks." This is a long way away from being an officially designated historical landmark, which the source never asserts in the first place. Would you kindly read the reference before making outlandish claims for it? Ravenswing 13:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* The word "landmark" can literally just mean any sort of mark on the land. Someone giving instructions to my house, for example, might mention a large pond as a landmark to look out for when navigating. It is not synonymous with being considered a place of any notable interest. Being called a landmark in a government document is completely different from being "declared" to be a landmark.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:54, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Keep Wikipedia's definition of notable at WP:N is "worthy of notice". The existence of a name for a hill is evidence that people consider the hill to be "worthy of notice". Cartographers are in the business of documenting named geographic features so that we have independent reliable secondary sources for these names. In this case not only do we have a good map; we have a document that shows the name has been in use since at least 1938, which proves enduring notability. Compare with Articles for deletion/Pacific Grove Marine Gardens State Marine Conservation Area (SMCA), which with weaker supporting positions than those I've just mentioned passed easily through AfD. Unscintillating (talk) 05:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Every street has a name, is documented on maps, and is detailed in local government publications and other surveys of the area in which it lies. Should we have an article on every street?--Pontificalibus (talk) 09:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Archaeologists don't excavate streets, geologists don't do field studies of the mineral content of streets, and airplane pilots aren't worried for their safety by the elevation contours of streets. I think a better analogy is with islands. The problem here is not whether or not streets should have an article, but whether hills should have an article, and in this case a hill that goes well beyond the only identified baseline for geographic notability in this AfD. That is unless you consider the "hillfort non-notability guideline" (WP:HNNG), which says that hills that don't have hillforts are not notable, for which no supporting examples have been provided. Unscintillating (talk) 17:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Could you clarify what you mean by "in this case a hill that goes well beyond the only identified baseline for geographic notability in this AfD". In the absence of specific guidelines for geographic notability I am using the general notability guideline, which this blatantly fails to meet due to the lack of significant coverage about the subject. Your contention that the article be retained due to the hill simply being "named", "documented" and "worthy of notice" is not supported by policy.--Pontificalibus (talk) 17:24, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* See below, also Roads. Unscintillating (talk) 16:48, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete - if it turned out that the hillfort was real it would be a different story. But it isn't, so this is just a simple, non-notable hill. Yaksar (let's chat) 05:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete: Sorry, I don't see it. It's a hill pretty much like all the others around it. It has no hill fort (even presuming that every place in the world that has, or had, a fortification is presumptively notable, which is nonsense), and there are no reliable sources claiming any fame for it on that basis. Consensus is long since firm that the lowest level of government-designated landmark in Britain is not presumptively notable ... but the assertion that this hill IS a government-designated landmark is false. Leaving aside just plain laughable assertions such as that every named geographical or topographical feature on Earth passes WP:N, there's a whole lot of nothing here. Ravenswing 13:02, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Topographical features do not require a castle upon them to be notable. This hill is in the area in which the science of geology was first established by William Smith (geologist). He surveyed the area himself and other geologists and palaeontologists followed him, as the sources show. Its appearance in a World Heritage Site study seems quite significant and is far from being nothing. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Hillfort, not a castle. That off my chest (sorry), the area may be notable, the World Heritage Site obviously is, but is the hill? It can easily be covered in the respective articles (if it even merits mention at all), but are there any sources which treat the hill as a subject in its own right rather than an element of something greater? Nev1 (talk) 20:18, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* I'm not quite sure why I'm even bothering, but ... what's your point, Col.Warden? We're not writing the biography of William Smith here. The question as to whether or not a place name being mentioned in a site study is "nothing" might be worthy of discussion for a bunch of terribly bored kindergarteners, but it's out of our purview here. Let's see if I can make this simple: what criteria of Wikipedia policies or guidelines do you claim this article meets and why? Ravenswing 22:59, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* WP:5 gives our core policies. Amongst them it states that Wikipedia has the function of a gazetteer. The purpose of a gazetteer is to record placenames such as this and provide some corresponding details. This place is notable, having been repeatedly noticed, and so we are able to provide such details from the various reliable sources. There is scope for further expansion and it is our editing policy to keep articles in mainspace so that this may be done. Q.E.D. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:11, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* I'm sorry, but I can just not see how a document saying "this bunch of hills are important geographic landmarks for this area" can possibly be interpreted to be more than a passing trivial mention.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Nice try, but did you really think no one would go and look at that link for themselves? The line you misquote is, in fact, "It incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers." NOT that it has the "function of a gazetteer." You also should have recognized, long since, that people "noticing" something does not equate to, and has no part of, Wikipedia's definition of notability as presented in WP:N. Not nearly so nice a try; that's close to insulting our intelligence. Ravenswing 11:31, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* It is a plain fact that we have numerous lists and articles which document geographical places in great detail - rivers, mountains, villages, &c. We aim for comprehensive coverage of topics within our scope because it is our policy that there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover. That policy indicates that we should look to the five pillars for guidance on our scope and gazetteer content is explicitly included in this, as the quotation demonstrates. I fail to understand why you do not accept this and seem to suppose the contrary. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete- The only thing remarkable about this hill is that its history is so spectacularly devoid of anything remarkable. Hard to believe that we actually need to spell out "there's nothing notable about a hill on which nothing has ever happened, but that's the joy of AfD. Tarc (talk) 20:09, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete- per my analysis of the sources, which is as follows:
* 1)- a passing mention which Colonel Warden, through a creative use of ellipses, presents as a description of Duncorn Hill as notable; when in fact it is a hill to the south of Duncorn hill that's being talked about. Colonel Warden has been warned against dishonest sourcing and really should know better by now. (edit) I see now there are two possible interpretations of that sentence. Striking my original comment with apologies. Reyk YO! 01:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* 2&3) Run of the mill factoids about its name and drainage conditions.
* 4) Possibly the best claim to notability, as I believe fuller's earth is pretty rare, but I'm not sold.
* 5,6,7 & 8) Turns out the fort doesn't exist, so there's nothing actually special about the hill!
* Reyk YO! 00:19, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Current evidence for the fort has not been found but that does not mean that it never existed. The 18th century source says that there was a cairn of stones at that time but they have not been found in current times either. The site remains in the National Monuments Record and so is still of national interest. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:55, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Does it, now? In point of fact, a search at the National Monuments Record for "Duncorn Hill" provides ZERO hits. That's Strike Two. Ravenswing 15:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* You're searching English Heritage's website there, not the NMR - they are not the same thing. A similar search wouldn't find Daw's Castle either, for example. Anyway, as the article's sources already indicate, the site is monument number #204516 in the NMR. Resolving this difficulty of actually finding things on the web is one of the great virtues of Wikipedia - we provide a good starting point by summarising information from such disparate and specialist sources. Someone might use their smartphone to find out information about this hill when they visit it or plan a walk. They don't want to be fighting their way through ancient records and specialist databases. We provide a digestible summary of the important information about the site culled from numerous sources and so provide a good public service. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Yes it's in the NMR, but the record in a nutshell is that there's nothing of note on the hill. That's pretty plain to see. Nev1 (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* A record of this sort is a note and the NMR sensibly chooses to keep it rather than deleting it. All the many other sources demonstrate such notice too. The fact that they haven't yet found good evidence of your particular interest in fortifications is unimportant. Our notability guideline explicitly explains that our topics are not required to have any special importance or fame - they just have to have been noticed. Our topic has been noticed by archeologists, geologists, palaeontologists, geographers, agronomists, walkers, historians, &c. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* My own interests are unimportant, so leave that spin out of it. There would be no problem with the hill having a mention in an article or two where it's actually relevant and may have some importance, but it does not warrant its own article. None of the sources provided demonstrate that Duncorn Hill is independently notable. The closest there is is your argument that the site is in the NMR, but as I said the NMR basically says there's nothing of interest there. You're tying yourself in knots trying to keep an article on an entirely unremarkable hill with next to no history or significance, special or otherwise. Nev1 (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* The topic has been remarked upon by numerous authors in numerous contexts. Your claim that it is "entirely unremarkable" is therefore false. Your POV seems to arise from a special interest in fortifications. Many hillforts were just enclosures for livestock and so some might think that these were humdrum too - just another corral. Such judgements are subjective and it is appropriate to bring out their non-policy nature. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
* Keep, OR Merge and Redirect to Englishcombe. Yes, maybe not the "popular" call... but as scholars did write about the existance of (possible) fortifications, even if not found by later investigations, does show the area has received notice. And even as late as 1975, it was still being writen of as inhabited during Iron Age. Wikipedia has articles on far less notable locations than this, and at least this one is well sourced to serve our readers. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 12:06, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* Delete - Since it has been discovered that there is no hillfort, this has gone to being just an ordinary hill that fails to meet the general notability guideline. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* I can surely say that creating this article was no mistake. It had been mistaken as an iron age hillfort at the time in January, but since then the 1966 investigation ref explained that it apparently not a real hillfort. Duncorn Hill was the first Somerset article I started, but I can nevertheless say that I was doing the right thing. I'm sorry if I started all this confusion. Jaguar (talk) 15:54, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* There was nothing wrong with creating this article. However, since it no longer meets WP:GNG, it will probably be deleted. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with Reaper Eternal. There was nothing wrong with creating the article; from the sources you had you thought it was a notable site. Information revealed later cast that into doubt, but from the information you had at the time your actions were perfectly reasonable. Nev1 (talk) 16:31, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
* (ec)Comment Notability (geography) states, "The purpose of this page is to define the existing consensus on geographical article inclusion, to avoid wasting time on unnecessary AFDs..." "Named geographic features are usually considered notable. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands etc. The amount of sources and notability of the place are still important, however. If little information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist for a named geographic feature, there is probably not enough verifiable content for an article." (emphasis added). I have noted above the 1938 document, which shows that this geographic feature has more than statistics and coordinates. The newspaper analysis of a hillfort, the fuller's earth analysis, and the status as a "landmark" are not needed to establish the notability of this topic. I have stated above a related concept based on the definition of notability in the guideline WP:N, which itself is cited in policy in WP:Deletion policy. I have also examined more than a dozen geography articles and think it would be easy to get a list of ten thousand articles that would not meet the unclear references to WP:GNG posited here, here is a sampling:

* To repeat, Notability (geography) states, "The purpose of this page is to define the existing consensus on geographical article inclusion..." I think that it is misdirection to say that this is "an editor's opinion" as if one person wrote it, when it was at one time briefly a guideline, and nominator has provided no competing viewpoints on how the Wikipedia community consensus views geography articles.

* OK, perhaps "myth" was a poor choice of words, lets look at it another way; someone has heard that there may have been a hillfort on this site and looks it up on the web, despite what they find elsewhere Wikipedia will tell them the precise nature of this site, and that investigations have shown no evidence for a fort. Simple as that, the article is stating the facts, and is therefore a valuable resource. Pahazzard (talk) 08:51, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
* Hmm, alrighty. I'd still disagree; Wikipedia's job is not be Snopes, which would get pretty out of hand. And while it's factual, if we included articles on every possible minor misconception (and yes, this is minor, it's an architectural investigation on a small hill that didn't uncover anything) we'd be in quite a pickle, with articles on every single minor argument or conspiracy regardless of significance.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

* Delete. Article is well done, but the hill is, as of now, not notable. Just a hill, and not much of one at that! Pretty. It is not up to Wikipedia to "dispel myths." Else every hill, nook and cranny would have some legend behind it which "needed" dispelling. Student7 (talk) 13:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
* (1) To understand this response, there is an implied WP:Just a hill guideline (WP:JAHG) which says that being "just a hill" makes a hill non-notable. What I don't see are metrics that separate "just a hill" hills from those that are more than "just a hill", and where within the current guidelines and policies WP:JAHG should fit (i.e., WP:IAR, the definition of notability in WP:N, a new SNG).

* Delete This is just a hill somewhere in England. If shellfishes or other things were found, it doesn't mean it is notable. If I make a stroll into the forest or mountains to search for fossils, I will find any, even if it will take me hours, but I will find. Fossils are not a rarity. Even the article says it "might" being a hill fort. But it has not proven.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 14:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
* The notability guideline explains that "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity". That's why just not notable is an argument to avoid — it is too subjective. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:46, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

stopped to dinner that evening, and, much to Ruth's satisfaction, made a favorable impression on her father. They talked about the sea as a career, a subject which Martin had at his finger-ends, and Mr. Morse remarked afterward that he seemed a very clear-headed young man. In his avoidance of slang and his search after right words, Martin was compelled to talk slowly, which enabled him to find the best thoughts that were in him. He was more at ease than that first night at dinner, nearly a year before, and his shyness and modesty even commended him to Mrs. Morse, who was pleased at his manifest improvement.
"He is the first man that ever drew passing notice from Ruth," she told her husband. "She has been so singularly backward where men are concerned that I have been worried greatly."
Mr. Morse looked at his wife curiously.
"You mean to use this young sailor to wake her up?" he questioned.
"I mean that she is not to die an old maid if I can help it," was the answer. "If this young Eden can arouse her interest in mankind in general, it will be a good thing."
"A very good thing," he commented. "But suppose,—and we must suppose, sometimes, my dear,—suppose he arouses her interest too particularly in him?"
"Impossible," Mrs. Morse laughed. "She is three years older than he, and, besides, it is impossible. Nothing will ever come of it. Trust that to me."
And so Martin's rôle was arranged for him, while he, led on by Arthur and Norman, was meditating an extravagance. They were going out for a ride into the hills Sunday morning on their wheels, which did not interest Martin until he learned that Ruth, too, rode a | WIKI |

Abstract:
The result of a large-scale field experiment to evaluate the dewateirngdensifying of fine-grained dredged material with underdrainage techniques is described. The techniques evaluated were gravity underdrainage, partial vacuum in an underdrainage layer, seepage consolidation, and seepage consolidation with a partial vacuum in the underdrainage layer. The experiment was conducted using five test sections having 30- x 30-ft bottom areas and 1v on 2H sideslopes. One section was used for each of the four techniques evaluated and a control section was not treated. Settlement, pore pressure, water content, and vane shear measurements were taken to provide a basis of evaluation. Initially, a 6-ft nominal thickness lift of dredged material was used then, after one year, a second 6-ft lift was added. The experiment ran for approximately two years. All of the techniques evaluated produced more densification than did the test section containing untreated material. Of the techniques evaluated the partial vacuum in an underdrainage layer was the most effective. This was true with both lifts of dredged material tested but was considerably more pronounced with the first lift than the second.

Evaluation of the Handling of the Branch Davidian Stand-off in Waco, Texas/Execution Of The Gassing Plan
The gassing operation was initiated in the early morning hours of April 19. Special Agent Byron Sage initiated telephone contact with the compound, warned them of the imminent tear gas insertion and reassured them that it was not a lethal assault. Similar messages were broadcast over the loudspeakers throughout the morning, urging the Davidians to come out and assuring them of their safety. At approximately 6:00 a.m. the HRT was notified that the warning call had been made and the first Command Engineering Vehicle (CEV-1) began inserting gas. Gas was inserted-through windows in the compound-from a boom attached to CEV-1 by means of a Mark V System, which is a liquid tear gas dispenser which will shoot a stream of liquid tear gas approximately 50 feet for a duration of approximately 15 seconds.
Shortly after the insertion began, the HRT commander was advised that his people were under fire from within the compound. In accordance with the approved plan, tear gas was inserted into all windows of the compound through the Mark V's in the two CEV's as well as by ferret rounds launched from the Bradley vehicles. Ferret's are non-burning tear gas rounds designed for 40mm grenade launchers. The CEV's then reloaded and made a second complete insertion of tear gas.
Sometime in mid-morning an apparent deviation from the approved plan began. The plan had contemplated that the building would only be dismantled if after 48 hours not all the people had come out. However, the CEV's began knocking holes into the compound the morning of the assault. First, CEV-1 was ordered to enlarge certain openings to provide for an easier escape route for the Davidians. CEV-2 broke down and the team of that vehicle obtained another CEV which was not equipped for tear gas. This CEV was ordered to clear a path through the compound in order to clear a path to the main tower so that CEV-1 could insert tear gas in that area. In that endeavor the CEV started to knock down a corner of the building and a portion of the roof collapsed. Very shortly after this happened, fire was observed in several locations in the compound.
The fire spread very quickly, but even so the openings in the buildings made by the tanks provided a means of escape. One of the HRT agents left the security of his vehicle to help a woman emerging from the compound. She ran from the agent and threw herself into the burning building. The agent entered the building and pulled her out. The woman survived. Nine Davidians exited the compound on April 19th. | WIKI |

Started McCourt after horses. P & W (Self) went to work compelled to give in. We brought in all the stray horses; as the river has been falling rapidly since yesterday brought them home; & put them 5 miles down home ranges. Cattle all mustered at home. After a good shower, fine, cool, cloudy weather, of which we have had much of late. Most of the men attacked with dysentry lately; gave them doses of laudunum; and put them right.
Hands as usual.

I had a great row with Green, not a man but a that has always annoyed me; he said threw the sheep on to my hands and said he would have nothing more to do with them I told him I would take them & he had nothing more to do with them or the party; but could board with the men as usual.
Schum (?) could not work at all; as his foot was bad. McC. keeping keeping horses from going off home run.

Bioinspired Ant-Nest-Like Hierarchical Porous Material Using CaCl2 as Additive for Smart Indoor Humidity Control
Inspired by the functional microstructure of the ant nest, a humidity control material was prepared by the sintering of modified low-grade sepiolite. A hierarchical porous structure accelerates the diffusion of water vapor. Meanwhile, CaCl2 was applied subtly to enhance absorption/desorption of water vapor in response to the change of air relative humidity. The water vapor adsorption desorption content reaches 550 g.m(-2) with a steady performance after 10 cycles. The flexural strength of the specimen is excessive, 10 MPa. Furthermore, two model houses were used to evaluate the performance of the material in a real environment. The result indicated that it could narrow indoor humidity fluctuation by more than 10% RH spontaneously and mainly maintained the humidity within a healthy range (RH 40-70%) without energy consumption. This invention makes it possible for large-scale fabrication of this material in terms of wall bricks for smart indoor humidity control. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How many songs can I fly on?
Each pilot can have two songs to fly on, each of 4 minutes duration. Expecially for final flights it is obligatory to use in both finals different music. In qualification and semifinal rounds can be used any of delivered two songs.
2. How is it with the position of the pilot during flight?
Generally to say place where pilot has to be standing during the flight is not prescribed, but it is recommended to stay on the runway in the proximity of the safety line.
3. Is it necessary to pay the entry fee in advance?
No, it is not requested. The entry fee will be collected in cash during the registration procedure on Thursday afternoon.
EUR 50
CZK 1250
4. How is it with the accommodation?
An organizer is not providing nor booking the accommodation for pilots or any other participants. The small bungalows on the airfield are all booked for organizer’s and sponsor's personnel. Use the links to the hotels and private pensions in the surrounding of Znojmo.
5. What about the food and beverages on the airfield?
Restaurant directly on the airfield is providing hot and cold food and beverages for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Payment can be either in CZK or in EUR.
6. Entry into depo and runway area?
Entry into the area behind the fence is allowed only to pilots, the official helpers and to the contest officials. An organizer does have the right to deport the not authorized people out of the starting area.
7. How is it with camping possibilities?
Within the airfield area is possible to build free of charge the tents or to park campers, but it is necessary to obey instructions of the organizer.
8. How is it with the possibility of the re-fly?
In the case of not successful start of the engine within 1 minute time period or in the case of the stop of the engine in the flight or in the case of jettisoning of some substantial part of the model the re-fly is not possible because of large number of the competitors. The only possibility for immediate refly is the situation, when wrong music will be started by an organizer.
9. Radio frequencies?
It is strongly recommended to use 2,4GHz radios to avoid the possibilities of interferrences. Using of so called „old“ 35 and 40 MHz frequencies is only on ownn risk of the compettitor and organizer will not collect the transmitters during the contest!
10. Mailing of the music?
All selected pilots are obliged to send by e-mail their two music versions A nd B in MP3 format on the address info@exfc.eu so that organizer could create the music data base for easier and faster manipulation with it during the contest. The dead line is August 7th, 2015. Pilots who will not obey this date will be crossed out from the list of competitors and other waiting pilots will replace them.
11. How is it with starting order?
For first qualification every pilot will allot a number from box (or hat) which represents his start number.
For second qualification round of singles and second round of teams will be starting order given by results in previous round, it means the pilot (team) with worst result in previous round will fly as first and so on. Same rule will be used for semifinals and finals.
12. Which part of flight is evaluated by judges?
Judges are evaluating the flight only during the sound of music. All maneuvers or creations performed before the beginning of music or after the end of music are by judges ignored.
13. What about landing before the end of music or crash?
Judges will estimate which percentage of music was used and will downgrade accordingly. It means the flight with duration only about 50% of duration of the music will receive only 50% of the expected points.
14. Signal for the beginning of the music
The signal for a beginning of music has to be clear waving down by hand of pilot or his helper and can be given by take-off or during flight shortly after the take-off.
15. What will happen when wrong music will be started? music
The pilot has to land immediately, and the flight will be repeated as soon as possible with proper music.
16. Where is the safety line for flying?
Safety line is the opposite edge of the tarmac runway. In the other words the safe area is grass and field behind the runway. The pilot during the flight must not cross over of this line or better to say to break the imaginary plane perpendicular to the earth in the safety line. Any infringement of this rule will be evaluated by judges by downgrading and flying behind the judges means immediate disqualification in given flight and flight marshal will command the pilot to land immediately.
17. Which is the time to start-up the engine?
Flight marshal is issuing the command to begin starting of the engine already before the landing of the previous model and pilot or his helper do have 1 minute to start the engine. In the case engine is not running after this 1 minute period, the pilot is receiving zero points for this flight and does not have right for redlight in the given round.
18. How is it with the results of flights?
Generally the automated scoring system is crossing out the highest and lowest marks from the judges for each criteria to avoid possible intentional gaining.
For singles the better normalized result from two qualification rounds is used to define 25 best pilots for the semifinal. In semifinal again better normalized result from two semifinal flights is used to define best 10 pilots for 1.final and first 5 pilots from 1. final are going to 2. final. There are no transfers of previous results to the further rounds! Teams are flying 3 rounds, two better normalized results are calculated to define 3 best teams for the final.
19. What about bad weather?
Contest director is the decision maker about the possibilities to fly in the case of not good weather. Only the completed rounds will be used for the calculation of the final results.
20. Is the touching of ground during flight giving more points?
Definitely not. This flight feature has been excluded from the judging criteria to increase safety of the flight.

As India's population continues to grow, so does the people's need. As the population continues to grow and infrastructure requirements continue to rise, the government is increasingly required to provide modern facilities to the people. One such modern facility that is becoming increasingly popular is the installation of sensor taps. Sensor taps are automated taps that can be controlled via your mobile phone. Sensor taps work by sensing the presence of a person and automatically switching the water flow on or off. Sensor taps have existed for a long time, but they are only starting to gain traction in tier-2 cities in India. The implementation of sensor taps offers users a variety of advantages. First, they help to save water by eliminating the need for continuous tap running. This not only reduces water wastage but also helps to conserve valuable water resources. Second, sensor taps are significantly easier to maintain and clean than traditional faucets. This makes them ideal for public areas, such as washrooms and kitchens. Plus, sensor taps offer a level of hygiene that's hard to get with regular taps. Sensor taps don't require you to touch the tap, so you don't have to worry about it getting dirty. That's why they're great for hygienic settings. Last but not least, sensor taps offer convenience. By automating the process of turning off and on the water, the time and energy required to turn on and turn off the water is reduced, making them ideal for use in busy areas like airports and railway stations. Basically, sensor taps are a great way to improve the infrastructure of Tier-2 cities. Sensor taps have lots of benefits that make them perfect for public use. They help reduce water usage, improve hygiene, and make life easier. Sensor taps can really make a difference in the life of people in these cities. In the present day, innovation has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has enabled us to become more productive and connected. For example, innovation led to the development of 'Computerization', which enabled the efficient execution of standard positions in a shorter amount of time, resulting in significant cost savings. Computerization is everywhere in our homes, offices, shopping malls, and public spaces. But the term ‘washroom automation’ is becoming more and more popular every day. Why? Cleanliness, cleanliness, and energy efficiency are top priorities across the country. Most of the time, there's no contact between you and the bacteria, so there's no need for sensors to do any work. Sensor-based flushes (for urinals/walls) and programmable spigots (for spigots) use cutting-edge sensors to detect who's using them and automatically deliver the water when they need it, saving you a ton of water over time. | WIKI |

FEUDAL BARONAGE of land in Briercliffe and 30 acres of wood in Rowley. To Adam de Blackburn, his clerk, he gave the moiety of the church of Blackburn, which Adam's ancestor Richard had held, and the benefice which the said Richard held in the church of Whalley. To Robert son of Henry he gave half the vill of Ribchester in thegnage for 7 shillings yearly, reserving the advowson of the church. His wife's name was Isabella, in one place named Sabina, of unknown parentage, by whom he had no issue. She afterwards married Gilbert de L'Aigle. Robert died on 21 August, 1193, shortly before the commencement of John's rebellion, and was buried in the abbey of Kirkstall. With his death terminated the old line of Lacy. His two honours of Clitheroe and Pontefract passed at his death to the daughter of his aunt, Albreda, wife of Robert de Lisours, named after her mother who died in 1166. The younger Albreda had married before 1142 Richard fitz Eustace, constable of Chester in right of his mother, who died before 1163, leaving issue John, constable of Chester, who predeceased his mother. In the account of the barony of the constable of Chester it has already been shown that Albreda, the relict of Richard fitz Eustace, after the death of Robert de Lacy, released to her grandson, Roger, constable of Chester, the honours and estates which had descended to her upon the death of her kinsman in 1193, the fee of Sprotborough being reserved to her for life with remainder to her son William fitz William, to hold of Roger and his heirs by the ancient service of eight knights' fees. Under this settlement the honours of Pontefract and Chitheroe passed to the line of the constables of Chester, who assumed the surname of Lacy, and eventually became earls of Lincoln of that line.

Barsotti–Tate group
In algebraic geometry, Barsotti–Tate groups or p-divisible groups are similar to the points of order a power of p on an abelian variety in characteristic p. They were introduced by under the name equidimensional hyperdomain and by under the name p-divisible groups, and named Barsotti–Tate groups by.
Definition
defined a p-divisible group of height h (over a scheme S) to be an inductive system of groups Gn for n≥0, such that Gn is a finite group scheme over S of order phn and such that Gn is (identified with) the group of elements of order divisible by pn in Gn+1.
More generally, defined a Barsotti–Tate group G over a scheme S to be an fppf sheaf of commutative groups over S that is p-divisible, p-torsion, such that the points G(1) of order p of G are (represented by) a finite locally free scheme. The group G(1) has rank ph for some locally constant function h on S, called the rank or height of the group G. The subgroup G(n) of points of order pn is a scheme of rank pnh, and G is the direct limit of these subgroups.
Example
* Take Gn to be the cyclic group of order pn (or rather the group scheme corresponding to it). This is a p-divisible group of height 1.
* Take Gn to be the group scheme of pnth roots of 1. This is a p-divisible group of height 1.
* Take Gn to be the subgroup scheme of elements of order pn of an abelian variety. This is a p-divisible group of height 2d where d is the dimension of the Abelian variety. | WIKI |

Hey,
After formatting and reinstalling my MBA, I noticed that YouTube5 extension for Safari didn't work properly. Most 720p and 1080p video lags so much that I can't even watch them. Weird thing is that I can watch them flawlessly and smoothly with Flash (10.2) and that this only happens when I switch to fullscreen. If you let windowed, even running on 1080p video still plays fine.
I don't remember having this issue before reinstalling so it is possible that some "core driver" is missing? I also made a PRAM and SMC reset...
Help please, I'm really desperate, I just got used at HTML5 and don't wanna go back to Flash.
Thanks!
Edit.
I did what you said and here are my tests results:
Safari with YouTube HTML5 activated could watch flawlessly this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XITHbsUUlYI at 720p but not with 1080p.
Safari with YouTube5 extension couldn't even watch both 720p and 1080.
Safari with flash 10.2 could watch both smoothly 720p and 1080p
Thing is that I don't understand why in the past I could watch all the videos I wanted at fullscreen regardless if it was either 720p or 1080p using YouTube5. Is it possible that my Mac got some kind of bottleneck or it's blocking its CPU usage?

I get the same lagging with 720p video -- even with flash on youtube. I have a MBA 13" ultimate 4MB RAM 256SSD.
I am not sure if that is related to Safari... or 10.6.7 or what.. But it is annoying. Anyone else?

Post an example video for everyone to test and give you the results. I'm on a C2D MacBook and, from what I remember, 720p videos with YouTube5 play a heck of a lot better than with Flash.

WTF?
We got the same Mac.. Are you using YouTube5 extension? Which version? 2.2.5?
Try this build: https://github.com/downloads/gugod/youtube5/YouTube5-20101209-fix.safariextz
It worked better than the last build, at least I could watch all 720p and 1080p videos but my fans were spinning really fast (almost 4k RPM) and CPU at 74º which is totally retarded.
Here are some tests I made.
Safari with YouTube HTML5 activated could watch flawlessly this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XITHbsUUlYI at 720p but not with 1080p.
Safari with YouTube5 extension couldn't even watch both 720p and 1080.
Safari with flash 10.2 could watch both smoothly 720p and 1080p

Shall I try SMC/PRAM reset?

I don't use Youtube5 extension, but if you're talking about just normally watching videos, I can watch 1080p videos without lag perfectly fine.

This is completely ridiculous.
I tried ClickToPlugin HTML5 player and YouTube5 extension again and how's possible that they couldn't even handle 1080p videos while flash can?

Anyone else having this ****ing annoying issue?
I didn't have this before reinstalling Snow Leopard I start to think that I pretty much messed something up...

I can't wait to show my boy that movie:D
I just went back to safari a few days ago from Chrome. I also installed the Safari flash plug in at that time. I had no issues watching the movie at full screen 1080P and my cpu heat stayed under 70C and 2,000 rpm. Running the latest 10.6.7 update.

How to Rotate Your Tires and Why
Being stranded on a busy street in rush hour traffic with a flat tire is dangerous. So is being stranded on a dark abandoned road. There is nothing you can do about the occasional tire damage due to road debris, but most flat tires are due to neglect. This is why it is important to rotate your tires.
When and Why
The easiest way to remember when to rotate your tires is to do it every time you do an oil change. As a model motorist, you change your oil every three thousand miles, right? This same time frame is a very key time to rotate the rubber on your wheels. As you drive, the tread on your tires wears down. If you drive a front wheel drive, your front tires will wear more than the rear. A rear wheel drive would wear out the back tires faster. Though not the only reason, this is the most basic reason to rotate your tires. Rotating your tires every time you have an oil change will allow each tire to wear at the same rate as the others. This extends the life of your tires. If you don’t do it, two of your tires will wear out twice as fast as they should.
If you don’t like to get dirty, you can usually get an oil change and a tire rotation at the same place and time. Most oil change places offer tire rotation service. It will generally run you between $40 and $45 for a tire rotation. If this price is too steep, you may opt to rotate your tires yourself. The process is less complicated than it seems.
How to rotate your tires
You will need two tools to do the job: a jack and a lug wrench. Most cars today come standard with a small jack with a crank handle. I suggest you throw it in the trash now. Go down to your local parts store and spend a one-time $30 to buy yourself a 2-1/2 ton floor jack. This will make the job much easier and, more importantly, much safer. It’s also wise to buy a $10 four-way lug-wrench to replace the traditional one as well. This will give you the leverage you need to get the job done.
There is a simple pattern to use when rotating your tires. Take the tires that pull, in the case of a front wheel drive, the front tires, and criss-cross them to the back. For example: The left front tire would be relocated to the right rear, and the right front tire would be relocated to the left rear. As for the rear tires, they will simply move forward, staying on the same side.
Okay, I know what you are thinking: How can I possibly do this with only one jack? The answer is simpler than you think. You have a spare tire in your trunk. Start by removing the left front tire. Immediately replace it with your spare. If your spare is full sized, it will remain here. If it is a temporary spare, stay with me, it will end up back in the trunk before we’re finished. Now roll the left front tire you took off to its new home at the right rear. You’ll have to move your jack to the back for this, but with the spare on the front, you’re all set to do so. Once you’ve made this swap, roll the right rear straight up to the right front. Take your jack along and make the swap again. Now roll that right front around to the left rear. Again make the swap. Now, if your spare tire was a full spare you can throw the left rear tire in the trunk to become the new spare. This is called a five tire rotation. It allows all five tires to wear evenly and extends the life of all of your tires. If, however, your spare is a temporary spare, you can roll that left rear tire straight up to the left front and swap it with the temporary spare tire and put the temporary spare back in its spot in the trunk.
Congratulations, you have now successfully executed a tire rotation and completed another step on the road to becoming a model motorist.

List of Values (LOV)
A dropdown list of references that display values of one or more database columns.
When to use
When it is required for the user to select values that are already available in the database.
Properties
Below is a list of properties that can be used to customize the control.
advancedview | label | filterlabel | required | editable | visible | searchable | columnvisible | columnexclude | format | emphasis | description | descriptionlabel | hidekey | preview | details | size | search | freeinput | showlabel | defaulttoprevious | initialfocus
Examples
• Example 1 - Using a Reference and a Selector
• Example 2 - Using a query and list for Advanced view
• Example 3 - Dynamically changing values
• Example 4 - LOV searching
• Example 5 - String interpolation
• Example 6 - freeinput and wildcard
Example 1 - Using a Reference and a Selector
lov CalendarIdRef with CalendarIdRefSelector {
size = Small;
}
selector CalendarIdRefSelector for WorkTimeCalendar {
static CalendarId;
static Description;
static Objstate;
}
Example 1: Client file
@Override
entity LaborClass {
reference CalendarIdRef(CalendarId) to WorkTimeCalendar(CalendarId) {
label = "Calendar ID";
}
}
Example 1: Projection file
Example 2 - Using a query and list for Advanced view
lov LineProgramRef with LineProgramSelector using LineProgramLovs {
label = "Program";
required = [false];
description = LineProgramRef.Description;
format = uppercase;
maxlength = 10;
advancedview LineProgramLovList;
}
@DynamicComponentDependency PROJ
selector LineProgramSelector for LineProgramLov {
title = "Program";
field ProgramId;
field Description;
}
@DynamicComponentDependency PROJ
list LineProgramLovList for LineProgramLov {
label = "Program";
static Company;
static ProgramId;
static Description;
}
Example 2: Client file
@DynamicComponentDependency PROJ
entityset LineProgramLovs for LineProgramLov;
@DynamicComponentDependency PROJ
reference LineProgramRef(Company, LineProgramId) to LineProgramLov(Company, ProgramId);
@DynamicComponentDependency PROJ
query LineProgramLov {
from = "project_program_lov";
where = "objstate in ('Active')";
keys = Company, ProgramId;
attribute Company Text;
attribute ProgramId Text;
attribute Description Text;
}
Example 2: Projection file
Example 3 - Dynamically changing values
Instead of always getting the same records loaded into the LOV dropdown, there might be scenarios where you need to show a filtered set of values based on other attributes in the record.
For example, consider a driver who has the license to drive Manual and Automatic vehicles. The driver is allowed to select a vehicle with Manual or Automatic transmission from the list of vehicles. But, a driver who has Automatic only driving license should only be able to pick vehicles with Automatic transmission. It is always good to hide the unavailable LOV options from the user.
To implement this, you can use a function which returns a collection of entities as the data source for the LOV instead of an entity set. At runtime, you can pass values from other attributes as parameters into the function. In the function,you can apply the necessary logic and send back a filtered set of records to the LOV. In this case you have the flexibility of writing any logic to get the correct records out of the function.
Consider the following reference:
reference MainRepresentativeRef(MainRepresentativeId) to BusinessRepresentative(RepresentativeId);
Example 3: Projection file
Create a function in the projection which returns a list of entities. If your requirement is to simply filter the values based on a parameter, you can add a where clause inside the function implementation.
function GetRepresentatives List<Entity(BusinessRepresentative)> {
parameter RepresentativeId Text;
where = "representative_id LIKE SUBSTR(:RepresentativeId, 1, 1) || '%'";<br/>}<br/>
Example 3: Projection file
If you need to apply more advance logic to filter out values, you can write your own function implementation in the PLSQL file.
function GetRepresentativesCustom List<Entity(BusinessRepresentative)> {
parameter RepresentativeId Text;
}
Example 3: Projection file
FUNCTION Get_Representatives_Custom___(
representative_id_ IN VARCHAR2 ) RETURN Objid_Arr
IS
base_collection_ Objid_Arr := Objid_Arr();CURSOR Get IS
SELECT *
FROM BUSINESS_REPRESENTATIVE
WHERE representative_id LIKE SUBSTR(representative_id_,1,1)||'%';<br/>BEGIN<br/> FOR rec_ IN Get LOOP<br/> base_collection_.extend;<br/> base_collection_(base_collection_.last) := rec_.objid;<br/> END LOOP;<br/> RETURN base_collection_;<br/>END Get_Representatives___;<br/>
Example 3: PLSQL file
In the client file you can connect the function (together with parameters) in the same way you would connect an entity set with a LOV.
group MainRepresentativeGroup for Activity {
lov MainRepresentativeRef with RepresentativeSelector using GetRepresentatives(MainRepresentativeId) {
label = "Main Representative Id";
}
}
Example 3: Client file
You can use the same reference with different LOVs, populated using different entity sets and functions. This way, you can make sure that the user will get only the available options in the LOV.
Example 4 - LOV searching
When searching in LOVs you will always search for the key value and any extra columns that you declare.
lov Customer with CustomerSelector using Customers {
description = CustomerName;
preview = CustomerInfoCard;
search = Name, Party;
}
Example 4: Client file
In this example the search will be done on the key value column (CustomerId), Name and Party.
Typing for example "McLa" in the control would generate a filter that looks like this $filter=contains(CustomerId,'McLa') or contains(Name, 'McLa') or contains(Party, 'McLa').
You can add one or more columns and they will be added to the search condition when typing in the control. These columns should exist in the entity you search.
Example 5 - String interpolation
String interpolation can be used to present the user with a custom description text.
lov Customer with CustomerSelector using Customers {
description = "${Customer.CustomerName} ( ${Customer.Party} )";
}
Example 5: Client file
Example 6 - freeinput and wildcard
The freeinput property allows the user to enter a value that does not exist in the reference. The value typed in the field will be stored in the relevant attribute, no matter if it exists in the list or not.
lov Customer with CustomerSelector using Customers {
freeinput = [true]
}
wildcard can be considered as a more restricted variation of freeinput where the user can specify a predefined value that does not exist in the LOV.
lov ReportCostRef with ReferenceReportCostLov {
search = ReportCost, Description;
description = ReportCostRef.Description;
wildcard {
key = "%";
description = "All";
}

Caroline Bull (born ) is an engineer, President of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and Manager in Systems Engineering at AWE, a company that plays a crucial role in the defence and security of the UK.
Education and Career
At only 17 she applied for a job advert at Harwell Laboratory (then UKAEA) expressing interest in physics and materials. After her initial training she was allocated to the NDT Team. While working in the labs at Harwell, she received a sponsorship to complete her University degree in physics and maths, which she completed when she was 24 years old.
She spent many years working for UKAEA and then AEA Technology in the then National NDT Centre, dividing her time between research and practitioner roles.
She started working at AWE in 2002 in the Non-Destructive Evaluation Team researching and developing NDE techniques.
As a researcher in the lab she delved into the theoretical side of NDT, working on the development and application of the time of flight diffraction technique (TOFD) as well as the in area of laser ultrasonics and using ultrasonics to monitor welding. Within both these roles I created opportunities to manage teams and/or projects, which I thoroughly enjoyed. For example, I managed teams on large oil refineries running and reporting back on inspections during plant shutdowns which provided me with the experience for my current role as manager in systems engineering.
She champions women in engineering. One of her aims as president at BINDT is to get more people engaged and continue with the development of the Diversity and Inclusion working group.

Parallel Resistor Calculator
Free online parallel resistor calculator – calculate the equivalent resistance of multiple resistors in parallel, enter all resistor values then click the calculate button
What is a Parallel Resistor?
A parallel resistor is a type of electrical circuit in which two or more resistors are connected side-by-side, with each resistor having its own path for the flow of electric current.
In a parallel resistor circuit, the total resistance is less than the value of the smallest resistor in the circuit, because the current can flow through multiple paths instead of just one.
parallel resistor diagram
Formula of Parallel Resistor
The formula to calculate the total resistance of a parallel resistor circuit is:
1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + … + 1/Rn
• Rtotal = total resistance of the circuit
• R1, R2, R3, and Rn = individual resistances of each resistor in the circuit.
How to Calculate Parallel Resistors
Example:– 150Ω, 250Ω, and 300Ω resistors are connected in parallel then calculate equivalent/total resistance.
1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + … + 1/Rn
1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
Rtotal = 1/150 + 1/250 + 1/300
Rtotal = 71.4285Ω
Total Resistance = 71.4285Ω

NATO still bringing world leaders and attention to Chicago - Chicago Tribune
The news that the G-8economic summit will not be held in Chicago shifts the focus to the other big meeting that will still bring dozens of leaders from around the world to the city in late May the annual gathering of NATO alliance members. The future of Afghanistan and discussions of missile defenses are expected to be on the agenda for the May 20-21 meeting hosted by President Barack Obama in his hometown. Washington is the only other U.S. city to have hosted a NATO summit, organizers said. Lori Healey, head of Chicago's host committee, sought to play down the loss of the G-8 summit, saying, It will ultimately have minimal impact. She said the NATO meeting is still a key chance to show off Chicago to the world. NATO, which has a larger membership than the Group of Eight industrialized nations and includes six of the eight G-8 countries (minus Russia and Japan), will draw large numbers of visitors to the city, Healey said. There have been 25 summits held since the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established in 1949 in the wake of World War II, Chicago organizers said. The last was in 2010, when NATO members met in Lisbon, Portugal. There were demonstrations and arrests at that event, but not on the scale of protests at recent meetings of global economic policymakers like the G-8. Chicago's host committee has said attendees will include leaders of NATO's political decision-making body. NATO includes 28 members and 40 partner countries, and city leaders have yet to announce where delegations will be accommodated and where dinners and other events will be held. But security concerns are expected to remain, and protest organizations have said they still plan to demonstrate here. NATO is headquartered in Brussels and was formed primarily to create a unified front to deter Soviet aggression. NATO took command of the Afghanistan conflict in 2003, and the U.S. intervened in Libya last year under a NATO umbrella. jcoen@tribune.com dheinzmann@tribune.com | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Stay Away from Ordinary Drugs! Take the Natural Route!
Spread the love
Ordinary drugs have shown limited benefits for brain (serious physical or emotional harm) since they don’t address the main cause of what is driving (hard hit to the head that knocks you out) signs of sickness. Now, no neuro-(serving or acting to prevent harm) treatment options exist that improve signs of sickness after a TBI.[5] Now many (people who work to find information) are starting to study a wide range of natural compounds and vitamins that have promising broad-spectrum, (related to protecting nerves from harm), and anti-swelling activity. Curcumin, green tea, extremely important fatty acids, resveratrol, and vitamin E are some of the compounds with potential medically helpful benefit in the treatment of TBI.[3] The (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) for these substances is still very early (and subject to change) and there is much more research needed to confirm these effects in humans, but they offer possible options in a condition with no known treatment.
CURCUMIN – is an active compound found in the spice turmeric. It has attracted much interest as a possible treatment for many long-lasting sicknesses, including Brain disease (AD), cancer, and heart disease due to its powerful anti-swelling and body-protecting chemical properties.[6] While results are still early (and subject to change), curcumin extracts are showing positive benefit in neuro-recovery, cell membrane (making steady/making firm and strong), and reduction of oxidative stress in animals.[8,9,19,11] Other potential medically helpful effects include increasing brain growth factors, chelating heavy metals, reducing cholesterol, and protecting mitochondria.[3]
The problem with curcumin is that it doesn’t (mix with and become part of a liquid) well in water, making its (mental concentration/picking up of a liquid) through the (tube from the mouth to the anus) limited. It is important to point out that only free curcumin (not other curcumin molecules) can pass the blood brain (something that blocks or stops something). Newer, fat (able to be dissolved in something) creations, such as a curcumin extract called Longvida, appear to improve delivery into the bloodstream, past the blood brain (something that blocks or stops something) and into brain tissue.[12,13] Longvida curcumin was developed for nerve-based sicknesses/problems by (people who work to find information) at UCLA. Curcumin stands as one of the most promising (related to protecting nerves from harm) and medically helpful agents in TBI and PCS due its excellent safety profile and wide ranging (machine/method/way) of action.
(Editor’s note: Also, other brands of curcumin have been created for improved bioavailability, including NutriCure by NAKA. Or,/In a different way, (ancient medicine) doctors recommend cooking turmeric in oil, and combining it with black pepper, to improve bioavailability of its voters/parts.)
GREEN TEA – like curcumin, is a well-known and widely used/ate/drank/destroyed herb with broad-spectrum body-protecting chemical activity. Its (related to protecting nerves from harm) properties can be attributed mostly to the power body-protecting chemical molecule called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the amino acid L- theanine, and to a lesser degree (drug that gives you energy).[14] EGCG has been shown to have body-protecting chemical and anti-swelling effects in animal models of brain injury.[15,16,17] One (like nothing else in the world) aspect of green tea is that the L-theanine content may offer protection from excitotoxic injury that happens immediately after a (hard hit to the head that knocks you out).[17] There is a clear need for more research, but promising (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) hints that even regular dietary consumption of green tea may have a (related to protecting nerves from harm) effect if a (hard hit to the head that knocks you out) happens. Some other plant compounds such as resveratrol (found in red wine) and anthocyanidins (found in berries) have also shown (related to protecting nerves from harm) effects.[3] Unlike (related to medical drugs) medicines, these plant extracts have many modes of action and work cooperatingally with each other. They also support the function of the body’s own body-protecting chemical systems and nerve repair systems.[18] There have been some animal trials using plant compounds such as resveratrol, (showing or proving) an anti-swelling and (related to protecting nerves from harm) effect in TBI, but like green tea, there have been no human trials to date.[19,20] Since these molecules are found in many colourful fruits and vegetables, it would be a safe recommendation for people with TBI or PCS to include/combine them into their diets.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS – have long been thought about/believed extremely important for brain development and function. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and to a lesser degree Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), is mostly found in nerve membranes; they influence cell signaling and anti-swelling pathways.[21] Since the human body cannot (in a way that produces a lot with very little waste) convert plant-based extremely important fatty acids to EPA and DHA, fish oil adds to/helpful additions are the best source of the active parts/pieces. (It is important to note that, while using/eating/drinking fish high in omega 3 fatty acids is desirable, the heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in most fish is a concern, especially for brain function.)[22] Some trials in animal models of TBI have found that DHA and omega-3 addition (to something else) improves thinking-related function, reduces nerve swelling, (makes steady/makes firm and strong) cellular energy production, and increases nerve repair.[23,24] One of these studies showed that pre-injury (something extra you eat or drink) with fish oil also had a (related to protecting nerves from harm) effect.
VITAMIN E – is a commonly studied natural compound for brain health since it has a powerful body-protecting chemical effect, specifically in fatty tissue (i.e. nerves). Some animal studies have found that vitamin E addition (to something else) reduces nerve damage and improves thinking-related performance following repeating, concussive brain injury.[25,26] Interestingly, addition (to something else) before the (hard hits to the head that knock people out) also had a (related to protecting nerves from harm) effect.[26] A good creation should provide all eight molecules of vitamin E, with the highest proportion being the strong gamma-tocopherol, which is carefully thought about/believed the most anti-swelling part. Also, vitamin E works with other body-healing chemicals, such as vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 as part of a body-protecting chemical network. This highlights the need to consume body-healing chemicals together in order to support their proper (related to the body function of living things) function.
CREATINE, L-CARNITINE, ALA AND MORE – There are some other newly-visible (vitamins, minerals, protein, etc.) now being studied for TBI. Creatine, an amino acid found in muscles, has human (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) supporting its benefit in reducing signs of sickness after a (hard hit to the head that knocks you out). Benefits were found for addition (to something else) before and even after the injury, (event(s) or object(s) that prove something) that creatine can be used to prevent and treat nerve-based shortages after a (hard hit to the head that knocks you out). There are other promising adds to/helpful additions being studied, including acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, B12, ginkgo biloba, and magnesium.[27]
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY – Another (action that helps a bad situation) suggested to have helpful effects on TBI recovery is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), although more research is needed to confirm its benefit. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

In color mode, the colors are transmitted in the following order: Red, Green, Blue. In black and white mode, the black color corresponds to the lower frequency and the white color to the higher frequency.
To be recognized, the picture must be MFSK16 prefixed by:
* "Pic:320x256C;" for example for a color picture of 320x256 dimension whose transmission will last 320x256x3x0,001=246 sec,
* "Pic:320x256C;" for example for a black and white picture of 320x256 dimension whose transmission will last 320x256x1x0,001=82 sec.
Note : on this program, for a better appearance, the grey level is computed according to a "physiological" formula: Grey level = 0,30 x Red level + 0,59 x Green level + 0,11 x Blue level
Note : for SSTV in MFSK16, in general, it is not authorized to transmit a mix of text and pictures because the authorized frequencies, for these modes (MFSK16 / SSTV), are different.

California Reduction Company v. Sanitary Reduction Works of San Francisco/Opinion of the Court
The defendants insist that the ordinances in question are invalid for the want of power in the board of supervisors to adopt them. This objection does not seem to be well taken. By the California Constitution of 1849 it was provided that 'the legislature shall have power to provide for the election of a board of supervisors in each county, and these supervisors shall jointly and individually perform such duties as may be prescribed by law.' [Art. 10, § 5.] Subsequently, by an act approved April 25th, 1863, it was provided that 'the board of supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco shall have power, by regulation or order,. . . to authorize and direct the summary abatement of nuisances; to make all regulations which may be necessary or expedient for the preservation of the public health and the prevention of contagious diseases; to provide, by regulation, for the prevention of contagious diseases; to provide, by regulation, for the prevention and summary removal of all nuisances and obstructions in the streets, alleys, highways, and public grounds of said city and county,' etc. Cal. Stat. 1863, p. 540. Anain, in the state Constitution of 1879, it was provided that 'any county, city, town, or township may make and enforce within its limits all such local police, sanitary, and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws.' Art. 11, § 11. Further, by an act approved March 23d, 1893, it was provided, among other things, that every franchise or privilege to erect of lay telegraph or telephone wires, to construct or operate railroads along or upon any public street or highway, or 'to exercise any other privilege whatever hereafter proposed to be granted by the board of supervisors, common council, or other governing or legislative body of any county, city and county, city, town, or district, shall be granted upon the conditions in this act provided, and not otherwise.' One of those conditions was that the fact that such franchise or privilege had been made, together with a statement that it was proposed to grant the same, should be advertised,-the franchise or privilege to be awarded to the highese bidder. Cal. Stat. 1893, p. 288.
It may be here observed that, under the charter of San Francisco, the board of supervisors for the city and county of San Francisco constituted the legislative department for that municipality. McDonald v. Dodge, 97 Cal. 112, 114, 31 Pac. 909; Harrison v. Roberts, 145 Cal. 173, 78 Pac. 537.
In the above constitutional and statutory provisions is found full authority for the board to make and enforce, within the city and county of San Francisco, all such reasonable sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict whth any general statute or with the Constitution, and which have for their object the preservation of the public health, by whatever cause endangered. It was substantially so ruled in the circuit court of the United States, northern district of California, in Alpers v, San Francisco, 32 Fed. 503, Mr. Justice Field delivering the opinion of the court. The ruling in that case was followed in National Fertilizer Co. v. Lambert, 48 Fed. 458. See also ''People ex rel. Dean v. Contra Costa County'', 122 Cal. 421, 55 Pac. 131.
It is said that the grant to Sharon, his associates and assigns, was, in no sense, a franchise. It is true that the title of the act of 1893 refers only to franchises. But the body of the act shows that the legislature intended to embrace privileges exercised under public authority, and not alone what may be, strictly, franchises. The right which was granted to Sharon, his associates and assigns, was certainly a privilege, and the board of supervisors had power to grant it in order to protect the public health. But, independently of the above statutes, the board had power, under the Constitution of the state, to make such sanitary regulations as were not inconsistent with the general laws, and that broad power carried with it the power, by contract and ordinance, to guard the public health in all reasonable ways.
The defendants criticize the ordinances because they give the exclusive privileges in question for a period of fifty years. But whether the period during which such privileges might be exercised should be long or short was a matter in the wise discretion of the board, and determinable wholly upon grounds of public policy. It may be that grants by public authority of privileges to be exercised for the benefit or in behalf of the public ought never to be for long periods. But it suffices to say that no such consideration can control the action of the judiciary.
The defendants insist that the ordinances in question are in violation of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, in that they deprive the householders of San Francisco of property of value, by transferring it to the Sanitary Reduction Works, without requiring compensation to be made; this, it is contended, being in violation of the 14th Amendment. Chicago, B. & Q. R. Co. v. Chicago, 166 U.S. 226, 41 L. ed. 979, 17 Sup.Ct.Rep. 581.
We do not perceive that the defendant corporation of Colorado and the individual defendants who are not householders are entitled to raise any such question. If householders do not complain, but by silence assent to what the board did, it is not for others to say that the property of householders is taken for public use without compensation; for householders, if so minded, may waive any right they have to compensation for their property destroyed to protect the public health. The individual defendants, in their answer, claim to be householders in San Francisco. But it seems that only about six of them are householders. The presence, however, of that number as defendants makes it appropriate to consider the objection just stated upon its merits.
In determining the validity of the ordinances in question it may be taken as firmly established in the jurisprudence of this court that the states possess, because they have never surrendered, the power-and therefore municipal bodies, under legislative sanction, may exercise the power-to prescribe such regulations as may be reasonable, necessary, and appropriate for the protection of the public health and comfort; and that no person has an absolute right 'to be at all times and in all circumstances wholly freed from restraint;' but 'persons and property are subject to all kinds of restraints and burdens, in order to secure the general comfort, health, and general prosperity of the stat,'-the public, as represented by its constituted authorities, taking care always that no regulation, although adopted for those ends, shall violate rights secured by the fundamental law, nor interfere with the enjoyment of individual rights beyond the necessities of the case. Equally well settled is the principle that if a regulation enacted by competent public authority avowedly for the protection of the public health has a real, substantial relation to that object, the courts will not strike it down upon grounds merely of public policy or expediency. Hannibal & St. J. R. Co. v. Husen, 95 U.S. 465, 470, 471, 24 L. ed. 527, 529, 530; Mugler v. Kansas, 123 U.S. 623, 661, 31 L. ed. 205, 210, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 273; Lawton v. Steele, 152 U.S. 133, 136, 38 L. ed. 385, 388, 14 Sup.Ct.Rep. 499; Atkin v. Kansas, 191 U.S. 207, 223, 48 L. ed. 148, 158, 24 Sup.Ct.Rep. 124; Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11, 27, 49 L. ed. 643, 650, 25 Sup.Ct.Rep. 358. In the recent case of Dobbins v. Los Angeles, 195 U.S. 223, 235, 49 L. ed. 169, 174, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 18, 20, this court said that 'every intendment is to be made in favor of the lawfulness of the exercise of municipal power making regulations to promote the public health and safety, and that it is not the province of courts, except in clear cases, to interfere with the exercise of the power reposed by law in municipal corporations for the protection of local rights and the health and welfare of the people in the community.'
The record abundantly discloses the grounds upon which the board of supervisors proceeded, in adopting the ordinances in question.
The preamble to order No. 2965 shows that, in the judgment of the board, the only effective mode to dispose of house refuse, butchers' offal, garbage, putrid or offensive animal or vegetable matter, refuse, ashes, or other like matter, and to prevent such substances from being deposited in or upon the lots, lands, and public streets of the city and county, or in the waters of the bay, to the prejudice of the public health, was by cremation or by some process of chemical reduction. The conviction of the board that decided action on the subject was imperatively demanded for the general good seems to have strengthened; for order No. 12, adopted a year later, stated in its preamble that, from time to time, during previous years, the dumping of garbage, dirt, offal, house refuse, matter, ashes, cinders, sludge, acids, or like matter, to fill in lots, and particularly in filling in water lots, had become so objectionable and deleterious to the public health that the attempt was made to mitigate such nuisances by covering them over with sand; that it had, however, become apparent that lots so filled and covered had thrown off obnoxious gases, deleterious to the public health, and, when epidemic diseases were prevalent, would become a fruitful source of danger to the sanitary wellbeing of citizens; and that the board of health had called attention to and condemned the disposing of garbage and refuse matter for the purpose of filling in lots. Such were the reasons which moved the board of supervisors to adopt that order making it unlawful to deposit any of such substances upon streets, lots, or lands, or in any water or water way, within the city and county, and requiring that they be delivered at the plaintiff's works, to be there cremated and destroyed, or subjected to such disposition and treatment as would effect a complete combustion of all gases and odors arising therefrom.
We perceive no ground to doubt the good faith of the board of supervisors; nor can we say that the mode adopted for the suppression of the evils in question was arbitrary, or did not have a real, substantial relation to the protection of the public health.
Many of the questions involved in municipal sanitation have proved to be difficult of solution. There is no mode of disposing of garbage and refuse matter, as found in cities and dense populations, which is universally followed. In some cities garbage receptacles, properly covered, are provided, sometimes by the householder, sometimes by the municipal authorities or the garbage collector. But even such devices often prove to be worthless for want of proper attention to them by householders. Then, the question arises for the consideration of the municipal authorities as to the frequency of the removal of garbage. The practice of not at all uniform. In some cities, it is collected seven times a week; in others, wix, four, and three times a week. Again, questions arise as to the mode in which garbage should be collected; and the statement is made by those who have investigated the subject, that while 'there appears a well-nigh unanimous demand on the part of health officers, and oftentimes of the public generally, for the municipal collection of garbage,' the 'problem of garbage disposal has not been solved.' Chapin, Municipal Sanitation in the United States, p. 670. Similar observations might be made in reference to what is commonly called 'dry refuse,' which, in many cities, includes ashes and all the rubbish accumulated in private houses, stores, market houses, and like places.
These references to the different methods employed to dispose of garbage and refuse have been made in order to show that the board had before them a most difficult problem-unsolved by experience or science-as to the best or must appropriate method of protecting the public health in the matter of the disposal of the garbage, refuse, and other materials found on private premises, and in hotels, restaurants, and like places. The state, charged with the duty of safeguarding the health of its people, committed the subject to the wisdom and discretion of the board of supervisors. The conclusion it reached appears in the ordinances in question, and the courts must accept it, unless these ordinances are, in some essential particular, repugnant to the fundamental law. The general result which the board of supervisors sought to bring about was by cremation, or by such other treatment of the materials as would effect a complete combustion of all gases and odors arising therefrom. 'Cremation,' it is said, 'is exclusively employed for getting rid of the garbage in England and on the continent of Europe, and is rapidly coming into use in the United States,'-the destruction by fire being theoretically 'an ideal way, from a sanitary standpoint, for the disposal of garbage.' Chapin, Municipal Sanitation in the United States, p. 714.
The defendants insist that the requirement that the substances mentioned should be delivered at the plaintiff's works for cremation or destruction, at the expense of the person, company, or corporation conveying the same, was a taking of private property for public use without compensation. We cannot assent to this view. It is the duty, primarily, of a person on whose premises are garbage and refuse material, to see to it, by proper diligence, that no nuisance arises therefrom which endangers the public health. The householder may be compelled to submit even to an inspection of his premises, at his own expense, and forbidden to keep them, or allow them to be kept, in such condition as to create disease. He may, therefore, have been required, at his own expense, to make, from time to time, such disposition of obnoxious substances originating on premises occupied by him as would be necessary in order to guard the public health. If the householder himself removed them from his premises, it must have been at his own expense; and the scavenger who took to the crematory the material from the premises of origin, under some arrangement with the householder, was, in effect, the representative, in that matter, of the householder, and was performing a duty resting upon the householder. So that if the requirement that the person conveying the material should pay a given price for having it cremated or destroyed, in effect put some expense on the householder, that gave him no ground for complaint; for it was his duty to see to the removal of garbage and house refuse having its origin on his premises. Still less has the licensed scavenger a right to complain; for his right to convey garbage and refuse through the public streets, in covered wagons, was derived from the public, and he was subject to such regulations as the constituted authorities, in their exercise of the police power, might adopt. The whole arrangement may be fairly regarded as one in the interest and for the convenience of the householder. He gets his proportionate benefit of any revenue derived by the city, and at the same time shares the protection given to him by the community. Nor did the destruction of garbage and refuse, at an approved crematory, amount, in itself, and under the circumstances disclosed, to a taking of private property for public use without compensation, even if some of the substances destroyed at the crematory had a value for certain purposes. The authorities were not bound, prior to the rumoval of such substances from the premises on which they were found, to separate those that were confessedly worthless from those which might be utilized. The garbage and refuse matter were all together, on the same premises, and, as a whole or in the mass, they constituted a nuisance which the public could abate or require to be abated, and to the continuance of which the community was not bound to submit. And when the obnoxious garbage and refuse was removed from the place of their origin, and put in covered wagons to be carried away, the municipal authorities might well have doubted whether the substances that were per se dangerous or worthless would be separated from such as could be utilized, and whether the former would be deposited by the scavenger at some place that would not endanger the public health. They might well have thought that the safety of the community could not be assured unless the entire mass of garbage and refuse constituting the nuisance, from which the danger came, was carried to a crematory, where it could be promptly destroyed by fire, and thus minimize the danger to the public health.
Be all this as it may, the cremation and destruction of garbage and house refuse, under the authority of the municipal authorities, proceeding upon reasonable grounds, and at a place designated by law, as a means for the protection of the public health, cannot be properly regarded, within the meaning of the Constitution, as a taking of private property for public use without compensation, simply because such garbage and house refuse may have had, at the time of its destruction, some element of value for certain purposes. With the knowledge of the householder the scavenger receives the garbage and refuse matter; that which, if separated, might have value, being mingled with that which is, in itself, noxious and worthless. The entire mass goes into the same covered wagon, and the authorities are not bound, before its destruction at the crematory, to cause the good to be separated, from the bad, but could require, as the ordinances in question did, that the substances be promptly conveyed to the designated crematory and destroyed by fire. Such a disposition of the contents cannot be regarded as a taking of private property for public use without compensation.
This court has said that 'the possession and enjoyment of all rights are subject to such reasonable conditions as may be deemed by the governing authority of the country essential to the safety, health, peace, good order, and morals of the community. Even liberty itself, the greatest of all rights, is not unrestricted license to act according to one's own will.' Crowley v. Christensen, 137 U.S. 86, 89, 34 L. ed. 620, 621, 11 Sup.Ct.Rep. 13. In Mugler v. Kansas, 123 U.S. 623, 664, 31 L. ed. 205, 211, 8 Sup.Ct.Rep. 273, it appeared that certain distillery property in Kansas was purchased at a time when it was lawful in that state to manufacture and sell spirituous liquors, but which property, by reason of the subsequent prohibition of such manufacture and sale, had become of no value, or had materially diminished in value. The owner insisted that, by the necessary operation of the prohibitory statute, his property was, in whole or in part, taken for public use without compensation. But this court said: 'The power which the states have of prohibiting such use by individuals of their property as will be prejudicial to the health, the morals, or the safety of the public, is not-and, consistently with the existence and safety of organized society, cannot be-burdened with the condition that the state must compensate such individual owners for pecuniary losses they may sustain by reason of their not being permitted, by a noxious use of their property, to inflict injury upon the community. The exercise of the police power by the destruction of property which is itself a public nuisance, or the prohibition of its use in a particular way, whereby its value becomes depreciated, is very different from taking property for public use, or from depriving a person of his property without due process of law. In the one case, a nuisance only is abated; in the other, unoffending property is taken away from an innocent owner.' In Sedgwick's Treatise on Statutory and Constitutional Law the author says that 'the clause prohibiting the taking of private property without compensation is not intended as a limitation. . . of those police powers which are necessary to the tranquillity of every well-ordered community, nor of that general power over private property which is necessary for the orderly existence of all governments. It has always been held that the legislature may make police regulations, although they may interfere with the full enjoyment of private property, and though no compensation is given.' pp. 434, 435.
Without further discussion we hold, for the reasons stated, that the circuit court and circuit court of appeals properly refused to adjudge that these ordinances were invalid.
Other questions have been discussed by counsel, but they do not require special notice at our hands. We are content with the disposition made of them in the courts below.
The decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals is affirmed.

boys entering the male, the girls the female society. Both societies are rigidly kept apart. A man who attempts to penetrate the female mysteries would be as surely killed as a woman who might attempt to investigate the male mysteries; still I came, in 1893, across an amusing case which demonstrates the inextinguishable thirst for knowledge, so long as that knowledge is forbidden, which characterises our sex, Alas! had only this Forschungschwärmerei filled us for other classes of knowledge, we might have been the discoverers of the electric telegraph, and a thing or so more of that order.
It was in the district just south of Big Batanga. The male society had been very hard on the ladies for some time, and one day one star-like intellect among the latter told her next-door neighbour, in strict confidence, that she did not believe Ikun was a spirit at all, but only old So-and-so dressed up in leaves. This rank heresy spread rapidly, in strict confidence, among the ladies at large, and they used to assemble together in the house of the foundress of the theory, secretly of course, because husbands down there are hasty with the cutlass and the kassengo, and they talked the matter over. Somehow or other, this came to the ears of the men. Whether the ladies got too emancipated and winked when Ikun was mentioned, or asked how Mr. So-and-so was this morning, in a pointed way, after an Ikun manifestation, I do not know; some people told me this was so, but others, who, I fear, were right, considering the acknowledged slowness of men in putting two and two together, and the treachery of women towards each other, said that a woman had told a man that she had heard some of the other women were going on in this heretical way. Anyhow, the men knew, and were much alarmed; scepticism had spread by now to such an extent that nothing short of burning or drowning all the women could stamp it out and reintroduce the proper sense of awe into the female side of society, and after a good deal of consideration the men saw, for men are undoubtedly more gifted in foresight than our sex, that it was no particular use reintroducing this awe if there was no female half of society to be impressed by it. It was a brain-spraining problem for the men all round, for it is clear society cannot be kept together | WIKI |

%description
FSDB is a package of commands for manipulating flat-ASCII databases from
shell scripts. FSDB is useful to process medium amounts of data (with
very little data you'd do it by hand, with megabytes you might want a
real database). FSDB is very good at doing things like:
- extracting measurements from experimental output
- re-examining data to address different hypotheses
- joining data from different experiments
- eliminating/detecting outliers
- computing statistics on data (mean, confidence intervals,
correlations, histograms)
- reformatting data for graphing programs
Rather than hand-code scripts to do each special case, FSDB provides
higher-level functions than one gets with raw perl or shell scripts.
(Some features: control uses names instead of column numbers,
it is self-documenting, and is robust with good error and memory handling.)

Michelle Carter trial: Prosecution rests in texting suicide case
Taunton, Massachusetts (CNN)Conrad Roy III's online searches in the weeks before taking his life included articles with titles such as "Painless suicide -- A complete guide to suicide," and "Quick, easy ways to commit suicide," according to a defense witness at his girlfriend's Massachusetts trial on involuntary manslaughter charges. The testimony of forensic expert Steven Verronneau on Friday came after Bristol County Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz rejected a defense motion for a not guilty verdict against Michelle Carter, who prosecutors said cajoled Roy to kill himself in July 2014 by inhaling carbon monoxide in his pickup truck. Verronneau testified that an examination of one of Roy's laptops turned up Goggle searches on "suicide by cop" and visits to websites that explained "Ways to kill yourself" and what medications to take "to die while sleeping." The searches dated from June 24-July 4, 2014. Roy's body was found July 13, 2014, in the parking lot of a Kmart in Fairhaven, nearly 40 miles from his home. Verronneau, under cross-examination, said Carter could have deleted some cell phone messages she had sent Roy. The defense witness also acknowledged that he discovered family photos on Roy's laptops and phones which could be perceived as "positive and happy." Carter's attorney, Joseph Cataldo, has sought to portray Roy as a troubled young man who was depressed over the divorce of his parents, long contemplated suicide and experienced physical and emotional abuse. 'They can save your life' In fact, court documents include text messages -- sent around the time Roy was searching online for ways to kills himself -- in which Carter urges Roy to seek medical help for his suicidal thoughts. Carter: "But the mental hospital would help you. I know you don't think it would but I'm telling you, if you give them a chance, they can save your life" Roy: "It doesn't help. Trust me" Carter: "So what are you gonna do then? Keep being all talk and no action and everyday go thru saying how badly you wanna kill yourself? Or are you gonna try to get better?" On Thursday, the prosecution tried to demonstrate that Carter's text messages to Roy became increasingly dark in the days preceding his suicide, including talk of the most effective methods and her apparent doubt and frustration about whether he was up to the task. The final witness revealed a series of disturbing text messages the state claims prove she pushed Roy to take his life. Text messages extracted from Roy's phone by state Police Sgt. Michael Bates show the 18-year-old's mental anguish and desire to kill himself consumed his communications with Carter in summer 2014. Roy: "I took sleeping pills and just fell asleep" Carter: "I feel like such an idiot ... because you didn't even do anything. You said you were going to the woods to do it ... I poured my heart to you ... I thought you really wanted to die, but apparently you don't ... I just feel played and stupid." In other text exchanges that summer, Roy said he wished Carter could hold his hand during the suicide; Carter asked Roy to "prove her wrong" about his desire to die and said there were "lots of ways," including hanging, jumping from a building and stabbing himself. Trooper: Carter called Roy 14 times the day he died At the time of the autopsy, Roy's blood had a carbon monoxide level of 71%, Boston Medical Examiner Dr. Faryl Sandler told the court on Thursday. A normal amount is 1-3%, and 3-5% for smokers. The cause of death was ruled acute carbon monoxide intoxication, the manner suicide. On the day Roy died, Carter called him 14 times, starting at 4:10 a.m., Massachusetts state trooper Brock Morrissette testified. At 6:28 p.m., on the night of his suicide, Roy called Carter and spoke with her for about 43 minutes, the trooper testified. Another call, this time from Carter to Roy, was made shortly before 8 p.m. and lasted about 47 minutes. Carter then called Roy 10 times, from 8:02 p.m. to 8:36 p.m., according to Morrissette. The calls went unanswered.

Application of motor in household appliances
Date：2022-07-22 Author：XINDA MOTOR
A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (kinetic energy), that is, after the power is turned on, there will be parts in the device that move, generally rotating. Like electric fans, the heat dissipation part of the computer, the heat dissipation part of the air conditioner and the refrigerator, the motor in the battery car and the car (for the time being, it is considered as a household appliance) all contain a motor to generate electricity. Generate movement and perform mechanical work externally. The following is a brief introduction to the application of motors in household appliances!
Application of motor in household appliances
1) Electric fan
The electric fan is a kind of motor that drives the fan blades to rotate, which accelerates the flow of air, improves the heat exchange conditions between the human body and the surrounding air, and achieves the purpose of ventilation and cooling. Household electric fans can be divided into table fans, ceiling fans, ventilation fans, and page-turning fans according to their structure. In recent years, air-conditioning fans (ie, cooling fans) have appeared. Moreover, many electric fans apply electronic technology and microcomputer technology to develop in the direction of multi-function, comfort and high-end, but their main power - motor is basically the same.
Motors for Desk and Ceiling Fans
Most of the motors used in table fans use single-phase capacitors to run motors, and the input power is 32 to 85W. In order to reduce costs, single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motors are also used for desk fans with smaller blade diameters. In order to meet the requirements of people's comfort , the motor adopts reactors, winding shaft heads and electronic circuits to regulate the speed. The motor for the ceiling fan adopts a single-phase capacitor running motor, a fully enclosed outer rotor structure, and the input power is 75-100W. The number of poles of this motor is 14, 16 or 18, etc., and the speed is slow to achieve safety purposes. The motor adopts a reactor with multiple taps and a transfer switch for speed regulation.
Motor for page turning fan
The fan of the page turning fan is generally driven by a single-phase capacitor running motor, which is usually adjusted with a winding tap. The louvered guide wheel (that is, the grille) in front of the fan blade of the page turning fan uses the rotation of the wind guide wheel to change the wind direction and the wind force in all directions. The wind guide wheel is driven by a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor after deceleration.
Motors for Air Conditioning Fans (Cooling Fans)
This type of fan blows cooler air than normal fans. Its principle is that the single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motor or the single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor drives the water (or ice water) curtain to move up and down slowly and roll, and the single-phase capacitor runs the motor to drive the fan to blow out the air with a certain humidity around the water curtain. This cold wind makes people comfortable in the great heat. The drier and hotter the climate, the more obvious the effect of blowing out cold air, because of the certain humidity and the effect of purifying the air.
Motor for heater
The air heater is also called the hot air heater. When working, the indoor cold air is sucked in by the back of the fan and blown out after being heated by the electric heating element to achieve the purpose of heating. Fan motors are mostly single-phase shaded-pole stepper motors, generally rated at 25-40W. Some heaters install a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with a reducer at the bottom, so that the heater can reciprocate left and right (rotation angle 80°~90°), which is suitable for multiple people or large-scale heating.
(2) Microwave oven
A domestic microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that uses electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2450MHz to heat food. The working principle of the microwave oven is that when the electrons emitted by the magnetron pole move toward the anode, they are subjected to the action of the axial magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet in the magnetron, so that the electrons move cycloidly under the dual action of the electric field force and the magnetic field force. The microwave oscillates in the resonant cavity to generate 2450MHz microwave, which is input into the oven cavity through the waveguide to heat the food.
Motor for blower
The magnetron needs to generate high heat when it is working, and it needs to use a blower to cool it down and work normally. The blower consists of a single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motor and a fan. The blower not only cools the magnetron, but also cools the transformer, and directs the hot air into the furnace cavity to heat food, which improves the utilization rate of heat energy, and also discharges the steam and smoke from the furnace cavity.
motor for agitator
The function of the stirrer is to make the microwave field in the oven cavity uniform, so that the food is evenly heated. The stirrer is made of an alloy plate with good electrical conductivity and high strength, and is driven by a single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motor to rotate, constantly changing the reflection angle of microwaves to improve the distribution of the microwave field in the furnace cavity, so that the food Heat evenly. Some microwave ovens also have a small exhaust fan inside the oven cavity, which plays the role of exhausting and stirring.
Motor for turntable
Some microwave ovens do not need a stirrer, but install a turntable at the bottom of the oven cavity, and the turntable drives the food to rotate, relatively changing the distribution of the microwave field, so that the food itself is evenly heated. The turntable is driven by a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor through gear reduction, and the general speed is 5-10r/min.
motor for timer
Most microwave ovens use electric timers and single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors with reducers. The power controller is driven by a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor, which is driven by a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. Through the power controller knob to drive the camshaft and other mechanisms to control the closing of the power controller switch, providing the choice of different grades of power.
(3) Motors for vacuum cleaners
Vacuum cleaners can be divided into vertical, horizontal and portable according to their structure. The working principle of the vacuum cleaner is to use the motor to drive the blades to rotate at a high speed to generate negative air pressure in the sealed casing to absorb dust. The requirements for the motor are high speed, large torque and small size.
The electric motor of the household vacuum cleaner adopts a single-phase series excitation motor with an input power of 100-1200W and a rotational speed of 10000-30000r/min. The series motor has harder mechanical properties than the general purpose single-phase series motor, so that when the air duct conditions change, that is, when the motor load changes in a large range, the motor speed does not change much, that is, it can keep the vacuum cleaner in good condition. vacuuming performance.
Portable small vacuum cleaners and car vacuum cleaners use permanent magnet DC motors, portable small vacuum cleaners are powered by dry batteries, with a rated voltage of 3V or 6V, and car vacuum cleaners are powered by on-board batteries or generators, with a rated voltage of 12V or 24V.
Single-phase series motors and brushed permanent magnet DC motors are very noisy and generate electromagnetic interference. For example, a vacuum cleaner powered by a single-phase series motor with an input power of 800-1000W and a speed of 20,000r/min, its electric fan Noise is 95dB(A). This is the biggest disadvantage of vacuum cleaners, so the application of brushless DC motors is the development trend.
(4) Motor for hair dryer
Household hair dryers are used for drying hair and shaping, as well as for drying food and clothing. When the hair dryer is powered on, the motor drives the fan blades to rotate, sucks the air from the air inlet, heats it through the electric heating element, and blows the hot air out from the air outlet.
The hair dryer sends out hot air of different temperatures by adjusting the number of energized electric heating elements, and also adjusts the supply air temperature and air volume by adjusting the applied power supply voltage. The motors for hair dryers are commonly used single-phase series motors and permanent magnet DC motors, and single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motors are also used. The input power is generally 6~30W, and the speed is 2500~15000r/min.
The above motors all use single-phase 220V power supply, but the permanent magnet DC motor is supplied after the single-phase 220V is rectified and stepped down to a DC voltage of 6-12V.
(5) Motors for dishwashers
Dishwashers are available in pulsator type and spray arm type.
The pulsator dishwasher is driven by a single-phase asynchronous motor to rotate the pulsator containing the dishes to be washed, and the single-phase asynchronous motor drives the water pump to supply water, wash dishes and dishes, and operate the cleaning process regularly. The timer uses a single-phase permanent magnet. Synchronous motor, for the upper drain floor dishwasher, the single-phase shaded-pole asynchronous motor drives the drain pump to pump the water to the drain pipe for discharge.
Spray-arm dishwasher, the water is pressurized by the cleaning pump and sprayed through the spray holes of the spray arm. The spray arm is rotated by the reaction force of the spray water, and the water is continuously sprayed on the dishes for cleaning. The drain pump is a Drain after cleaning. Both the cleaning pump and the drain pump use a single-phase asynchronous motor, and the timer uses a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor.
(6) Motor for Bianjiebao
The computer toilet seat, also known as Bianjiebao, completely removes the traditional method of toilet paper cleaning after defecation, and is a major breakthrough in the hygiene of human beings after defecation.
Wash with warm water
Use the computer to control the valve motor and water pump to complete the cleaning of the washer position. Use a permanent magnet stepping motor or a synchronous motor to control the opening and closing and size of the valve to adjust the amount of water, and use a permanent magnet DC motor or a single-phase capacitor to run the motor to drive the water pump.
warm air drying
The brushless DC motor is used to drive the centrifugal fan, so that the warm airflow is blown to the part washed with warm water, so as to achieve the purpose of refreshing drying.
Deodorant function
When the toilet seat is in use, the permanent magnet DC motor is used to drive the fan to work to extract the odor in the toilet.
Toilet bowl antifouling and nozzle self-cleaning
When the toilet seat is in use, the antifouling nozzle sprays water into the toilet bowl in a fan shape for 3 to 5 seconds, so that the toilet bowl is clean and hygienic. When washing with warm water, the nozzle and nozzle slowly expand and contract, and the nozzle and nozzle automatically release several small streams of water to clean the nozzle to ensure clean water for warm water rinsing. The above functions are completed by the permanent magnet DC motor driven water pump for the warm water washing function. The water in the water tank is also run by the motor pump to send the water to the water tank. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Majors
The majors closed out a 3rd consecutive day in the red on Tuesday. Leading the way down was the DAX30, which fell by 0.85%. For the EuroStoxx600 and CAC40, the losses were more modest, with the pair ending the day down by 0.51% and by 0.31% respectively.
Things were not so bad over the in the U.S, with tech stocks finding support ahead of FED Chair Powell’s heavily anticipated testimony later today.
The NASDAQ and S&P 500 rose by 0.54% and by 0.12% respectively, while the Dow slipped by 0.08%.
The Stats
There were no material stats out of the Eurozone on Tuesday to provide the majors with direction. The lack of stats left the majors sensitive to moves through the Asian session and FED monetary policy.
Going into the European session, the Asian majors failed to provide much support, with the Nikkei the only major in the green on the day.
On the U.S data front, May’s JOLTs job openings fell from a revised 7.372m to 7.323m, which had a muted impact on the markets. Last week’s nonfarm payrolls led to the markets discounting Tuesday’s numbers.
On the monetary policy front, FED Chair Powell held back from talking on monetary policy or the economy ahead of today’s testimony to Congress.
The downside on the day ultimately came as the markets continued to pare expectations of a FED rate cut at the end of the month.
The Market Movers
From the DAX, there were some heavy losses on the day. Fresenius Medical Care and ThyssenKrupp slid by 4.98% and 3.86% to lead the way down. Deutsche Bank was not far behind, sliding by 3.21% as news hit the wires of bank staff being laid off across the globe. Commerzbank slipped by a more modest 0.29% on the day.
Things were not much better for the auto sector. Continental led the way down, with a 2.19% slide. Daimler was not far behind, falling by 1.26%, while BMW and Volkswagen slipped by 0.23% and by 0.49% respectively.
From the CAC, BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole also saw red, with losses of 0.92% and 0.36% respectively. Renault was amongst the bigger losers on the day, however, falling by 2.26%
The Day Ahead
It’s another quiet day ahead, with no material stats due out of the Eurozone.
The lack of stats will leave markets focused squarely on the FED Chair Powell’s testimony to Congress scheduled for later this afternoon.
Following last week’s U.S nonfarm payroll figures, the markets will finally get some clarity on what lies ahead and whether a rate cut remains on the table.
There is an opportunity for the FED Chair to push back on Trump’s constant calls for a rate cut. The strong NFP numbers certainly caught the markets off-guard on Friday. The FED may well need more time to assess how much damage the U.S – China trade war is, in fact, having on the U.S economy.
Any talk of a hold on rates near-term and expect the majors to take a hit on the day.
The other support mechanism for the majors has been hopes of an end to the U.S – China trade war. Any chatter on trade will also influence, though we would expect Powell to Trump trade war chatter on the day.
Ahead of the European open, the ASX200 and Hang Seng bucked the trend early, rising by 0.65% and by 0.19% respectively. The Nikkei was down 0.12%., with the CSI300 down by 0.13% early in the Asia session.
At the time of writing, the DAX futures was up by 17.5 points, while the Dow Mini was down by 1 point.

FedEx Office
FedEx Office Print & Ship Services Inc. (doing business as FedEx Office; formerly FedEx Kinko's, and earlier simply Kinko's) is an American retail chain that provides an outlet for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground (including Home Delivery) shipping, as well as copying, printing, marketing, office services and shipping. While FedEx, to the Kinko's founder's dismay, dropped the Kinko's name in summer 2008, the name remains in use. Unlike its main competitor, The UPS Store, which is franchised, all FedEx Office stores are corporate-owned.
History
Paul Orfalea, whose nickname was "Kinko" because of his curly hair, founded the company as Kinko's in 1970. Its first copy shop, which Orfalea opened with a sidewalk copy machine, was in the college community of Isla Vista, California next to the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. He left the company in 2000, following a dispute with the investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice ("CDR"), to which he had sold a large stake in the company three years earlier.
Kinko's played a significant role in the development of American counterculture in the 1980s and 1990s. In her study of the role of xerography in urban cultures in this period, the anthropologist Kate Eichhorn recounts:
"At its height of popularity between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, Kinko's outlets in urban centres across North America were catch basins for writers, artists, anarchists, punks, insomniacs, graduate students, DIY bookmakers, zinesters, obsessive compulsive hobbyists, scam artists, people living on the street, and people just living on the edge. Whether you were promoting a new band or publishing a pamphlet on DIY gynaecology or making a fake ID for an underage friend, Kinko's was the place to be."
Orfalea wrote in his autobiography that disentangling him from Kinko's took enormous effort from the lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. The problem was that rather than adopt the traditional franchising model (by which the promoter creates a corporation that sells franchises), he had built the company as a series of loosely connected personal partnerships between each store owner and himself. By 1997, he had established over 127 Kinko's partnerships. All had to be carefully dismantled and rolled into a single S corporation to convert the company to a more centralized corporate-owned business model. Orfalea and several other key partners believed doing so would decrease time Orfalea spent mediating disputes between different factions of Kinko's partnerships and enable the oldest partners to cash out smoothly and transition to a new generation of managers. However, the new structure also made it easier for CDR to gradually force him out of his own company.
Kinko's corporate headquarters was in Ventura, California for many years, but in 2002, the company relocated to Galleria Tower in Dallas, Texas. In February 2004, FedEx bought Kinko's for $2.4 billion, which then became known as FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers. Prior to the FedEx acquisition, most Kinko's stores were open 24 hours a day. After the acquisition, FedEx reduced the hours for many locations. On June 2, 2008, FedEx announced that they were re-branding FedEx Kinko's as FedEx Office, the retail branch of the FedEx Corporation. Some stores and branding still showed FedEx Kinko's signage until summer 2010. To ease customer confusion during the transition period, many stores displayed a large purple sign in the window that said "Kinko's Printing Inside."
Brian Phillips is the President and Chief Executive Officer, following Ken May's departure on March 7, 2008. The company's primary clientele are small business and home office clients. According to the company, it has approximately 2,200 operating facilities. With over $2 billion in revenues, the company is the 7th largest printing company in North America. The company's primary competitors in the crowded North American market include The UPS Store, Office Depot/OfficeMax, AlphaGraphics, Staples, Sir Speedy, and Vistaprint.
Kinko's pursued an international expansion strategy during the boom years of the 1990s and early 2000s. Countries hosting FedEx Office centers outside the U.S. include Kuwait, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates. Kinko's formerly operated in Australia, Mexico, and the Netherlands but withdrew from those markets in late 2008 due to low demand. During the 2008–2012 global recession, FedEx Office subsequently withdrew from China, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Konica Minolta bought the Japanese and South Korean operations from FedEx.
On July 24, 2017, FedEx announced that its 24 Canadian stores, a manufacturing plant in Markham, Ontario, and its head office in Toronto, would be closing on August 18, 2017, after 32 years of operation with 214 employees being laid off. FedEx's Canadian shipping operations would continue, however.
In March 2018, FedEx Office announced that it would open 500 stores inside of Walmart locations throughout the U.S. | WIKI |

Adding JAR Dependencies to an Eclipse Plugin Maven Tycho Build
Something that is constantly bothering me when developing the OPP project is the use of hard-coded Java library dependencies. I manually downloaded the jars for the libraries I use, copied them to a directory in the plugin that required them, and the added them to the MANIFEST.MF file.
You are probably asking why am I doing this. Well, Eclipse plugins (or more correctly OSGi projects) are built in Maven using a plugin called “Tycho”. This build process is different from the standard java Maven build process, specifically in how it handles dependencies.
OSGi dependencies are defined in a MANIFEST.MF file and not defined in POM of the project. When Maven is executed, it looks at the MANIFEST.MF file, extracts the dependencies, and then tries to download them from one of the repositories defined in the POM, which, as expected, are defined differently than Maven repositories.
We love standards. That is why we need at least two of them :-(.
So back to my problem: I have a number of simple Java dependencies that I am using in my projects. So searching the net I found the Apache Felix Maven Bundle Plugin (BND). After trying and trying again to get its configuration right, I gave up. Maybe you need a PhD to configure this, so I’ll come back again in a couple of months (hopefully :-)).
But hey, I’m a developer, and I should scratch my own itch, so why not develop a Maven plugin that does what I want? Yep, good idea! But after two weeks of work (by work I mean the only half hour available to me each day to work on this, excluding weekends) I found myself with a simple Maven plugin that is able to copy a file from here to there, but the learning curve is a steep.
And then I reinvented the wheel, because the solution was already posted in StackOverflow and I had read it a while ago, but disregarded it. Last week after learning some more Maven (because I was writing a plugin), I understood that I could create a new project (standard Java maven project) where the dependencies are downloaded and then copy the dependencies to my Eclipse plugin project. After a couple of minutes, Voila! It Works! You can find the results in the OPP repository. The Java only project is com.vainolo.phd.opp.java-dependencies which is required by the Maven module com.vainolo.phd.opp.utilities. Check how the POM files are written to see how this works. I also added the dependencies project as a child project of com.vainolo.phd.opp.releng so it gets built as part of the project.
There is also a simpler way to do this without another project, as described in this StackOverflow answer. Here the maven-dependency-plugin plugin is invoked directly in one of the initial phases of the build (i.e. validate), using plugin specific configuration to select the dependencies. Tried this but while it works for the direct dependency, it didn’t download transitive dependencies. This is probably a configuration things but at this stage I am not going to invest more time in this.
Maybe next year.

Live Search using PHP, MySQL Database and Javascript
Hello friends! We’re here again to discuss live search functionality in a dynamic website using php and javascript. Previously, we had a post on the search operation using only php. We recommend to go through it first, at here. Now, we’ll see as the data is typed, the suggestions will come under it. So, without wasting time, lets start how to do this.
Creating search takes 3 steps:
1. Create the Database.
2. Create live search front UI.
3. Add the back end code.
let us see them one by one
1. Creating Database
First things first! Lets create a Database using the following query. We are creating a table ’employee’ in which id, name, email and company name data details exists.
Lets Fill some records in the table.
2. Creating Live search using javascript
To make this tutorial short and easy, we have made a single file for our front end designing. It includes front UI, css and connection code. So create a file search-form.php and paste the following code in it.
Make sure you have javascript files in your folder for proper working of the code. You can get them, form internet very easily. Just Google them.
We are not here using session, but you can easily implement this functionality in your session projects also.
3. Add the backend
Now, we need a special file to fetch the data from database and return it to the main file. So lets Create a file backend-search.php and add the following code in it. This is the last step to create the live search functionality.
In the above file, we are using a PDO connection method for connecting with the database because it is more secure and prevents SQL injections. We have used a word “LIKE” in an SQL query to fetch the related names as we type characters in the search box.
The REQUEST super global variable is used to let the system know that the fetch operation should be started as soon as the user starts typing in the text box. the suggestions appears under the text box appears within a fraction of second.
We’ve added a styling using w3.css classes. You can get it by downloading the source code. The following image is a view of a homepage of our tutorial project.
Now visit the search-form.php file, You can directly put any employee name’s starting letter, the matching phrases will be displayed automatically. Even you can insert rows in one tab and perform fetching without refreshing the page as shown below image.
Live Search using PHP, MySQL Database and Javascript
Looking nice na? Why not try it now? The source code is always available for free of cost. You can directly download it from the below link.

How Do I Know My Spark Plugs are Bad
It’s not uncommon for drivers to wonder how they can tell if their spark plugs are bad. After all, these tiny components play a big role in keeping your engine running smoothly. While there are several signs that may indicate your spark plugs need to be replaced, the best way to know for sure is to consult your owner’s manual or ask a professional mechanic.
If your car is experiencing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to replace your spark plugs: 1. Your car is hard to start 2. Your engine is misfiring
3. You’re experiencing decreased fuel economy 4. Your car is idling rough
How to Check Spark Plugs
If your car isn’t running as smoothly as it should be, one potential cause could be the spark plugs. Checking your spark plugs is a relatively simple and quick process that you can do at home, and it could save you time and money in the long run. Here’s how to check your spark plugs:
1. Locate the spark plugs. In most cars, they’re located near the top of the engine, on either side. 2. Using a ratchet or socket wrench, loosen and remove each spark plug.
Be careful not to drop them! 3. Inspect each spark plug for signs of wear or damage. If they look worn out, it’s probably time to replace them.
4. Check the gap between the electrode and tip of each spark plug with a feeler gauge.
How to Tell If Spark Plugs are Bad by Looking at Them
If your car isn’t starting as easily as it used to, or if the engine is misfiring, it might be time to check your spark plugs. Here’s how you can tell if they’re bad just by looking at them: 1. Look for cracks or breaks in the ceramic insulation.
This can indicate that the plug has been overheated. 2. Check the electrode for wear. If it’s eroded or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
3. Make sure the gap between the electrode and tip is correct. If it’s too wide or too narrow, the spark won’t be able to jump properly, resulting in poor engine performance.
What Happens When Spark Plugs Go Bad
If your car’s spark plugs are bad, it can cause all sorts of problems. The most common symptom of bad spark plugs is a loss of power while driving. Your car may also run rough, misfire, or stall.
These symptoms can be caused by other issues as well, so it’s important to have your car checked out by a mechanic if you’re experiencing any of them. Spark plugs are an essential part of your car’s engine and they need to be replaced every few years. If you don’t replace them, the performance of your engine will suffer and eventually the engine will fail entirely.
So if you think your spark plugs might be going bad, get them replaced as soon as possible!
How Long Do Spark Plugs Last
Spark plugs are an essential component of your car’s engine, and they play a vital role in ensuring that your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently. But how long do spark plugs actually last? The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the type of spark plug you’re using, the quality of the spark plug, how often you drive your car, and what kind of driving conditions you typically encounter.
However, most spark plugs will need to be replaced after about 20,000 miles or so. If you’re not sure when your spark plugs were last replaced, it’s a good idea to have them checked by a qualified mechanic at least once a year. This will help ensure that your car is running as efficiently as possible and help prevent any potential problems down the road.

What are the Symptoms of Bad Spark Plugs?
If your spark plugs are bad, it’s likely that you’ll experience one or more of the following symptoms: 1. Your engine will run rough. This is probably the most common symptom of bad spark plugs.
If one or more of your spark plugs are fouled or damaged, it can cause your engine to misfire. You might notice that your engine shakes or vibrates when idling or while driving at low speeds. 2. You’ll have decreased fuel economy.
If your spark plugs are bad, it takes longer for them to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the cylinders. This means that your engine isn’t operating as efficiently as it could be, and you’ll end up wasting gas. 3. Your vehicle will have starting issues.
If a spark plug is completely worn out, it might not be able to create a spark at all. This can make starting your car difficult, especially if it’s been sitting for awhile (like overnight). 4. You’ll see black smoke coming from the tailpipe.
What Does a Bad Spark Plug Sound Like?
If your spark plugs are going bad, you might notice one or more of the following symptoms: 1. Your engine is misfiring. 2. You’re experiencing decreased fuel economy.
