Indians have been living in misery for centuries now, in reservations drowned in problems like alcoholism, drugs, and illiteracy. The white government has made inumerous attempts to try to assimilate them into the US mainstream population. The effects felt by the Indian reservations due to the negative consequences of white actions are unimaginably devastating. Native Americans have to rely on the government in order to survive, and sometimes that 's still not enough. Their lives have been shaped by the government so much that the effects of the past actions made by the whites have become substantially irreversible, forcing the Native American population to suffer and make sacrificing choices in order to live in the present world.
Native Americans have a right to live on their own reservations. A major pipeline is about to made through their reservation. I know that the people are furious with this. The pipeline would destroy historic sites. I have proposed a solution to this problem.
The government won a couple battles that took over their homeland.”The Indians, badly outnumbered, suffered a crushing defeat, made worse by the failure of promised aid from the British. The British offered aid to Tecumseh and his American Indian people”. Tecumseh took no negotiations with them which then led to another battle called Fallen Timbers. The Indians decided to rebuild their land in the southern Ohio part. At the end of this, he was considered and became an “influential young war chief with a growing following many of the younger, more anti-American warriors.
Participation in this was mandatory. The Dawes Act had negative impact. ⅔ of their tribal land was lost between 1890-1930. Any of the land that was left over opened for white people to settle on. The Native Americans reaction to the Dawes Act was the Ghost Dance.
In the book I Wish I’d Been There, there are two chapters that can easily be compared, the McGillivray Moment and Chief Joseph Surrenders, for they both had to do with Native Americans, and how they were kicked off their land. Both were made promises that weren’t kept,by American Generals. even if meant twisting the rules of war and going against the law. In The McGillivray Moment, President George Washington was worried that the Creek Nation was going to over inhabit the land to the west of the Mississippi river, also known as the land of America’s future. Washington was now faced with a problem, “The land west of the Mississippi must be inhabited by whites…, and the rights of the Native Americans to their tribal land must be protected.” That’s when Washington met Chief McGillivray, McGillivray was one of the,” twenty-seven Indian Chiefs representing all the major tribes of the Creek Nation” that paraded into the capital of the newly created
In “Things Fall Apart” the Igbo have been shown to have a large amount of culture that was effected by western beliefs. These cultures were no longer retained after white men came and “told them they worshipped false gods, gods of wood and stone” (145). These harsh ideas on the Igbo people led them to abandon their own religion and take up the new religion if it meant change for the Igbo people. This strict cultural change left harsh damage to the current culture of the Igbo people. This culture should have been retained but it was destroyed and abandoned for a new culture, one of the Christian faith and newly formed
There were many of them all ages moving by horse, wagon, or walking. This shows Robert Lindneux wants us to visualize the hardship that Native Americans were forced into. The painting was created after the Westward expansion showing that it was not a good idea. William Weatherford, in “Adventures Among Indians”, stated “...my people are all gone--I can do no more than weep over the misfortunes of my nation. Once I could animate my warriors to battle: but I cannot animate the dead.” Native Americans fought back against the United States but many were killed during battle.
Beyond the question of Jackson 's morality, what was the ultimate reason behind the removal? The answer to this is simple: white settlers wanted to grow and cultivate on Indian lands, and they attained this when the government pushed the natives out of their lands. This act, as stated before, led directly to the Trail of Tears. Many tribes were relocated and had to walk hundreds of miles, suffering from disease, exhaustion, and
There was a popular assumption, which can be tied to a quote by General Sheridan , that “The only good Indians I ever saw were dead ones.” This quote captures a popular attitude of Anglo-Americans during this time. Due to the constant struggle for resources between the Native Americans and the settlers, wars between the two were inevitable. The white men wanted the lands that belonged to the Native Americans and they were convinced that, because of what they considered the uncivilized nature of the Native Americans, there was no way they could coincide with the Native Americans. This presumption was due to the biased outlooks that the Anglo Americans had toward Native Americans culture. Due to these attitudes toward the Native Americans the settlers set out to acquire their lands.
“Some harshe and (cruel) dealinge by cutting of towe(two) of the Salvages heads and other extremetyes.”(Hume 61). The colonist’s bad relationship with the Native Americans led to many deaths. “Although still part of Powhatan’s Confederacy, the tribe had seen less of the English that had those closer at hand and with luck might be more friendly. And so it proved.”(Hume 61). The Natives did not trust the English, so they were hesitant about trading.
The Redskins, an American Football Team, needs to change their name. For years, many Native Americans have complained of the Redskins’ name being racist towards them. They say it does not hold honor to them, it instead reduces them to their skin color and how the pilgrims saw them as. The oppression that this nation has put their culture and people through must be addressed. In 1858, the government had directly taken the reserves given to the Native Americans for resources the nation had wanted.
What also triggered war was weakening relations with the Indians in the West. While the government tried to remove them from their lands to make room for settlers, they tried to civilize the Indians the best they could. The Indians that were acquired through the Louisiana Purchase were now significantly outnumbered by white settlers, and some tribes began to take on white ways of life, such as slavery and agriculture. Other Indians, called nativists, wanted to completely exterminate European influences and defy the settlement of their lands. The vote to declare war on Britain in 1812 reflected a divided nation between North and South.
government broke its promises, some of the Dakota Indians went to war against the white settlers. Many Dakota did not join in, choosing to aid and protect settlers instead. The fighting lasted six weeks and many people on both sides were killed or fled Minnesota. Former Minnesota governor Henry Sibley led an expedition of soldiers and Dakota scouts against the Dakota warriors. The war ended on December 26, 1862, when thirty-eight Dakota Indians were hanged in Mankato in the largest mass execution in U.S. history.
When the Europeans arrived in North America, many changes came into the lives of indigenous peoples. These changes included things such as new weapons and horses, which made hunting easier, but Europeans also killed indigenous people, treated them as though they were less than human, and took their lands. These immoral things happened because of European desire for riches and glory. Because of this, the European impact on Native Americans should be seen as a moral question. Upon their arrival, Europeans saw indigenous people as heathens because of their religions and their difference in culture. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Rogers House (Holden, Massachusetts)
The Rogers House is a historic house in Holden, Massachusetts. The 1.5-story Cape-style wood-frame house was built sometime before 1733, and is possibly the oldest building in Holden (there is no firm evidence for a traditionally-ascribed date of 1722 for its construction). It is the best-preserved example of its style in the area, which was once somewhat common.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and was included in an expansion of the Holden Center Historic District in 1995. | WIKI |
Japanese Stocks Rise Second Day as S&P Rally Boosts Investor Confidence
Japanese stocks rose for a second
day after the biggest three-day rally on the Standard & Poor’s
500 Index since 2009 boosted investor confidence following three
weeks of losses. Sony Corp. (6758) , Japan’s biggest exporter of consumer
electronics, advanced 0.4 percent. Mitsubishi Corp. (8058) , the
country’s largest trading house by market value, gained 0.7
percent as oil traded near its highest in two weeks. Tokyo
Electric Power Co. led declines among power companies after
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said uncertainty surrounding government
policy makes utilities a poor long-term investment. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average rose 0.2 percent to 9,107.43
at the 3 p.m. close in Tokyo. The broader Topix index gained 0.3
percent to 779.06. Volume on Japan’s biggest stock exchange was
lower than average in the middle of a traditional holiday period. “Stocks will continue to rebound as long as sentiment
stabilizes,” said Masaru Hamasaki , who helps oversee the
equivalent of $18 billion as chief strategist at Toyota Asset
Management Co. in Tokyo. “Even though Japanese stocks are very
cheap in terms of valuations, you could still see markets plunge
if we have some bad news that stirs up anxiety.” The Topix lost 7.4 percent this month amid concern Europe’s
debt crisis will damage the banking system and damp demand in
one of Japan’s biggest export markets. Japanese stocks also fell
after Standard & Poor’s on Aug. 5 cut its rating on U.S.
government debt . Price-To-Book Declines in Japanese shares this month reduced the average
price of stocks in the Topix to 0.91 times book value, the
lowest level since March 2009. A level below 1 means a company’s
assets are worth more than its market capitalization. Yoshifumi Kikuchi, head of dealing at Nissan Century
Securities Co. in Tokyo , said trading volume was light today
because of the O-bon holiday, a period starting Aug. 13 during
which many Japanese companies close for as long as a week and
people return to their hometowns. The value of shares traded on
the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was about 24
percent less than this year’s daily average of 1.41 trillion yen. Investors were also in “a wait-and-see mood” ahead of a
meeting between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German
Chancellor Angela Merkel, Kikuchi said. The leaders of Europe’s
two largest economies will meet today in Paris to discuss
enforcement of European Union budget rules and expanded
coordination of national economies, according to French Finance
Minister Francois Baroin . France Hammered Doubts over France’s AAA credit rating last week hammered
shares in the country’s banks and sent the risk premium of its
government bonds to a euro-era record. Futures on the S&P 500 slipped 0.8 percent today. The index
gained 2.2 percent yesterday in New York , erasing last weeks’
drop, as valuations near the cheapest level in two years helped
extend the best three-day rally since March 2009. Lower stock prices also contributed yesterday to a spate of
U.S. takeovers. Google Inc. (GOOG) , the biggest maker of smartphone
software, agreed to buy Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. to
expand in the hardware business. The $12.5 billion acquisition
was Google’s largest yet. Time Warner Cable Inc. also agreed to
buy Carlyle Group’s Insight Communications Co. for $3 billion. “Large-scale acquisitions are increasing in the U.S.,
indicating stocks are relatively cheap,” said Fumiyuki Nakanishi , a strategist at Tokyo-based SMBC Friend Securities Co.
“There’s no doubt that Japanese stocks are cheap in terms of
valuations and the rebound will continue.” Exporters Gain Japanese exporters to the U.S. advanced. Sony gained 0.4
percent to 1,700 yen. Canon Inc. (7751) , the world’s biggest camera
maker, rose 0.4 percent to 3,600 yen. Carmaker Nissan Motor Co.
added 0.6 percent to 720 yen. Trading houses gained after the price of crude oil futures
increased 2.9 percent yesterday in New York. Mitsubishi rose 0.7
percent to 1,855 yen. Mitsui & Co., Japan’s second-largest
commodities trader, increased 0.6 percent to 1,314 yen. Chemical maker DIC Corp. (4631) jumped 3.2 percent to 161 yen
after the Nikkei newspaper reported the company is teaming up
with the University of Tsukuba to develop technologies for mass
producing bio-fuel material out of algae. Power companies declined after Goldman Sachs said utilities
are not attractive long-term investments because “the
visibility on policy is very poor.” Tokyo Electric dropped 3.2
percent to 425 yen. Kansai Electric Power Co., the nation’s
second-largest utility, fell 1.8 percent to 1,290 yen. While Japan’s parliament on Aug. 3 approved state support
to help Tokyo Electric compensate victims of the Fukushima
disaster, many details of the plan, which calls for “cooperation
from shareholders and other interested parties,” remain unclear. Trade Minister Banri Kaieda said he didn’t know how much
other utilities would be asked to contribute. Nuclear and

government isn’t providing an estimate for how many people will
be compensated. To contact the reporter on this story:

Opinion | China’s Online Censorship Stifles Trade, Too
When the Chinese government blocks foreign internet companies for political reasons, the United States should treat the tactic as the anticompetitive economic strategy that it is. Mr. Wu is a law professor who specializes in technology. As China and the United States engage in high-level negotiations over a possible trade deal, it’s puzzling to see what’s been left off the table: the Chinese internet market. China blocks or hinders nearly every important foreign competitor online, including Google, Facebook, Wikipedia in Chinese, Pinterest, Line (the major Japanese messaging company), Reddit and The New York Times. Even Peppa Pig, a British cartoon character and internet video sensation, has been censored on and off; an editorial in the Communist Party’s official People’s Daily newspaper once warned that she could “destroy children’s youth.” China has long defended its censorship as a political matter, a legitimate attempt to protect citizens from what the government regards as “harmful information,” including material that “spreads unhealthy lifestyles and pop culture.” But you don’t need to be a trade theorist to realize that the censorship is also an extremely effective barrier to international trade. The global internet economy is worth at least $8 trillion and growing, yet the Trump administration has focused chiefly on manufacturing, technology transfers and agriculture, and does not seem to have pressed for concessions on this issue. Sheltered from American, Japanese and European competition, Chinese internet businesses have grown enormously over the past decade. Nine of the world’s 20 largest internet firms, by market value, are now Chinese. Some of this growth reflects the skill and innovation of Chinese engineers, a vibrant start-up culture and the success of Chinese business in catering to local tastes. But it’s hard to believe that this has been unaided by censorship. And the barriers to foreign competition have more than just economic effects. Without any better options, Chinese users are forced to put up with companies like Tencent, which owns the private messaging app WeChat, and the online payment company Ant Financial, whose privacy violations are, amazingly, even more troubling than those of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. By tolerating Chinese censorship, the United States encourages other countries to do the same. When it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, China agreed to a broad liberalization of trade in services, including data processing and telecommunications. China’s internet policies must be understood as a violation of these commitments. China will presumably counter that its internet policies are “necessary to protect public morals or to maintain public order,” invoking the relevant exception to the World Trade Organization’s rules. But while that exception might justify bans on gambling sites or even Peppa Pig, in the case of most of China’s internet barriers the real purpose seems to be the protection of homegrown business interests. Why is the United States not demanding change? It’s not as if we lack leverage. Chinese firms like Tencent and the online retailer JD.com have aggressively pursued operations in the United States, seeking to take advantage of our open internet and open market. The Office of the United States Trade Representative even cited Chinese internet blocking as a trade barrier in 2016. Why allow a country to do business here if it won’t let us do business there? The basic principle of trade policy is reciprocity: Lower your barriers and we’ll lower ours. When it comes to the internet economy, the United States has unilaterally disarmed and is being played for a fool. Particularly baffling is the attitude of the major American internet firms, the victims of China’s internet trade policy, whose strategy has largely been one of appeasement. Google did retreat from the Chinese market in 2010 because of concerns about censorship and industrial espionage, and it did complain for a while about Chinese obstructions. Yet last year we learned that Google was effectively giving up the fight, building a censored search engine for the Chinese market and begging for access. Also disappointing has been Facebook’s approach. Even though Facebook has been banned in China for years, Mark Zuckerberg, its chief executive, has made embarrassing efforts to ingratiate himself with China’s president, Xi Jinping. (At one point gossip pages even reported that Mr. Zuckerberg asked, in vain, for Mr. Xi to give an honorary Chinese name to his unborn child; Mr. Zuckerberg denied that this happened.) Appeasement does not make effective foreign policy or trade policy. The United States, with the world’s largest economy and its most important internet sector, should be negotiating from a position of strength. If the Trump administration wants to be tough with China on trade, it should demand meaningful access to the Chinese internet market, on pain of denial of access to American markets for Chinese firms. That is how trade negotiation has always proceeded, and the internet ought to be no exception. We otherwise run the risk of winning the battle for the past while surrendering the battle for the future.

Biology 466 Unsolved Problems Fall 2010
The Story of Cinderella and the Shoe-Police
Once upon a time, there was a faraway kingdom in which glass slippers were used as identification. Everyone's feet had slightly different shapes, and the Shoe-Police had billions of different machines for making glass slippers. Each one of these slipper making machines had five random control dials, each of which could be set to 10 different settings. These settings controlled the exact shapes of the slippers that would be made by each of the billions of different slipper making machines.
10 times 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 is 100,000 different combinations of settings. These settings were made randomly on each machine, and then the machine was kicked really hard a couple of times to produce some more random differences in the shapes of the glass slippers that would be made by that machine from then on.
At some particular age, when their feet had finished growing, every citizen of the kingdom went down to one of the Shoe-Police headquarters (which were called the Thymus and the Spleen) and tried on glass slippers from as many of the slipper making machines as possible. Every time somebody found a slipper that fit their feet perfectly enough, the police either smashed up and junked whichever machine had made that particular slipper, or either the police locked up that machine in a warehouse (Permanently!!), or possibly the police irreversibly turned off its ability to make any more slippers. Nobody knew for sure which one of these things the Shoe-Police did to the machines. They may have done something else, that nobody has been able to guess. The point was to eliminate any future making of shoes that would fit that particular person, and to do this for every legal person in the kingdom.
For the rest of each person's life, their identity would frequently be checked by the Shoe-Police. This checking consisted of trying on a glass slipper. Each policeman (kind of like that Prince-Charming in the Disney version of that other folk tale) carries around a glass slipper and tries fitting it onto the feet of everybody he meets.
However, the Shoe Police react differently than the Prince. The Prince married Cinderella, because the glass slipper fit her. The Shoe Police would have arrested her, handcuffed her, and put her in jail. The logical reason for this response is that any such person must be some kind of imposter or invader, because otherwise the glass slipper should not fit them. Anybody whose feet exactly fit any of the shapes of glass slippers that are still being manufactured must be an imposter; so they are arrested. Not only are they arrested, but the arrest process stimulates manufacture of lots more glass slippers of the shape that fit them. There is even a manufacture of more machines that make slippers of this exact shape (which turns out to be easy, because these shoe making machines can all duplicate themselves).
Next, let's consider the question whether you would want to say that when the Shoe-Police arrest someone its because they have recognized them as non-self. Don't you think that would be a rather misleading way to think about what has happened? In the real world, a criminal or imposter might be arrested because the real police recognize them, or because there is something wrong with their identification papers or their driver's license, or something. So, for the real police, it would not be misleading to describe them as recognizing an imposter as non-self. But the Shoe-Police don't work that way AT ALL, and neither does the immune system.
In the immune system of vertebrates, including humans, antibody molecules (and also T-cell receptor proteins) are the equivalents of the glass slippers in this story. The equivalents to the shoe making machines are the B and T lymphocytes. The random setting of the controls on these machines is the equivalent to the V(D)J recombination of the genes that code for antibody binding sites (and the equivalent recombination for the T-cell receptor genes). As for the identity of the Shoe-Policemen, they are various different kinds of white blood cells, even including the lymphocytes themselves. I considered having the Shoe-Policemen also be makers of shoes, with each policeman making shoes of a slightly different shape; but that hinders understanding.
The next question is: "What would be the equivalent of an autoimmune disease?". There are several possibilities. One would be that one or more of the discarded ("anti-self") machines escaped from the warehouse, where they were supposed to be locked up forever. A second possibility would be that somebody messed with the control settings on one of the other machines, so that it then made slippers of some slightly different shape, which could fit honest law-abiding citizens of this mythical country. Imagine if there were "wanted posters" in the post office, and somebody took a magic marker and drew on one of the pictures of wanted criminals, so that it looked like you; then the police might arrest you, because your face looks like the one on the wanted poster. Better we should stick to shoes!

MIDWIFERY BASICS Blood tests for investigating maternal wellbeing 5. Testing for sexually transmitted infections in pregnancy
Julie Williams, Senior lecturer, Midwifery, University of the West of England
(June 2016)
‘Blood tests for investigating maternal wellbeing’ is the 10th series of ‘Midwifery basics’ and is targeted at both students and practising midwives who wish to update their knowledge. The series aims to raise awareness of the needs of women during their childbearing experience. The reader is encouraged, through directed exercises, to seek further information. This article explores the issues surrounding blood testing for the presence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during pregnancy. The aim is to provide an overview of the blood tests required and also of some of the wider issues around STIs in pregnancy. It considers aspects of physiology, pathology, the impact on the fetus and neonate of these infections and provides information about the blood tests themselves. It also considers the current NICE guidelines in relation to testing for STIs in pregnancy, as well as other relevant sources of evidence in relation to the management of these conditions. The article also considers the midwife’s role in relation to providing information to women and for supporting them in their decision-making for testing for STIs.

MIDWIFERY BASICS Blood tests for investigating maternal wellbeing 6. Blood tests for investigating pre-eclampsia
Joyce Cowan, Senior Lecturer in midwifery, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, and self-employed, case-loading midwife
(June 2016)
Pre-eclampsia complicates between 2 per cent and 8 per cent of pregnancies, and safe care for mother and baby depends on early recognition of signs and symptoms, as well as timely investigation and referral. An understanding of the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia is essential for the midwife as she is the practitioner most likely to recognise the disease as it presents. This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia, a summary of risk factors and an overview of laboratory tests that may be requested by the midwife. The article focuses on communication between the midwife and woman with an emphasis on holistic care.

How midwives can help with perinatal depression
Joanne Morton, former midwife and integrative counsellor and manager of a charity providing support, advice and information for women and their families who are affected by ante- and postnatal depression
(June 2016)
In 2011 a national children’s charity led a campaign that identified why help with postnatal depression (PND) needed to improve; however PND remains a huge problem. Numerous cases are still coming to light where a mother has not sought help nor has been given adequate support, with disastrous consequences. Why is this still happening and what can health professionals do? Former practising midwife and specialist PND counsellor at a charity supporting women and families suffering from PND, Joanne Morton discusses why increasing awareness, education and understanding of perinatal illness are vital to limit the devastating effects of antenatal depression (AND) and PND and how standards of care must improve to help mothers in need.

Alcohol and pregnancy: a dangerous cocktail
Joanne Poskitt
Specialist midwife at Barnsley Hospital
Susan Fleisher
Executive director of the National Organisation for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (NOFAS-UK)
(June 2016)
Women have diverse attitudes and behaviours towards alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Contradictory views about the risks associated with alcohol intake influence consumption levels. Many women do not receive detailed advice from healthcare professionals. The woman’s assessment of risk is hindered by the contradictory advice from government guidelines, health organisations and the media. Health professionals play a vital role in advising women on health behaviours pre-conception and throughout the antenatal and postnatal period to improve outcomes. Midwives ensure and enable women to make informed choices regarding alcohol consumption during pregnancy. As healthcare professionals we should be providing evidence based, up to date information regarding the potential risks and harms associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy for the unborn. So why is this not happening?

PHI
Formulas / PHI
Calculate the density function for a standard normal distribution.
=PHI(X)
• X - the number for which the standard normal distribution is calculated
Examples
• =PHI(0.5)
The PHI function can be used to calculate the probability of a normal distribution with a given mean and standard deviation. For example, if you wanted to calculate the probability of a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, you could use the above formula. This would return the value of the density function for a standard normal distribution.
Summary
The PHI function is a mathematical tool used to calculate the probability of a given value for a standard normal distribution. It is used to determine the likelihood of a given value occurring in a normal distribution.
• The PHI function takes a numeric argument to calculate the value of the density function for a standard normal distribution.
• The numeric argument is required and is the number to calculate the density of the standard normal distribution on.
Frequently Asked Questions

Abstract
Background: People with hematological malignancies can deteriorate rapidly to a terminal event and have variable levels of engagement when transitioning to palliative and end-of-life care.
Objectives: To describe end-of-life care values and preferences of people with hematological malignancies and explore whether these align with hematology clinicians' perceptions.
Design: Two matched anonymous quantitative cross-sectional surveys explored: (1) patients' values and preferences around manner and timing of discussions regarding life expectancy and prognosis, involvement in decision making, and concurrent integration of palliative care with active treatment; and (2) clinicians' perceptions of their patients' values and preferences in relation to prognostic information.
Settings/Participants: Concurrent online national surveys of people with hematological malignancies known to the Leukemia Foundation of Australia, and clinicians in Australia with membership to the Hematology Society of Australia and New Zealand.
Results: Five hundred nine (38% response rate) patients (median age 64 [min 20, max 89, interquartile range 56-70]) and 272 clinicians (21% response rate) responded to the survey. If their health was deteriorating, most patients wanted honest prognostic and life expectancy information (87%); welcomed involvement in decision making (94%); felt they would be comfortable talking to the treating team about the possibility of death (86%); and would be comfortable seeing someone from a specialist palliative care team (74%). Clinicians generally underestimated most of these responses.
Conclusion: Although our findings indicate that most people believe they would be comfortable discussing prognosis, life expectancy, and wishes at the end of life, clinicians were largely unaware of their preferences. This highlights the need to embed values clarification in routine care for each patient and family.

Conversions in Javascript
Using Javascript has an ease, you can achieve the same result by doing it in different ways. Here am going to discuss about the performance implications of the same. Lets start with string to number conversion. The usual way of string to number conversion is done using parseInt. However there are someother ways it can be done as well
var n1 = parseInt("12");
var n2 = Number("12");
var n3 = +"12";
var n4 = ~~(1*"12");
All of the above does the same job and n1==n2==n3==n4. So, of all the ways we have to see which one is the ideal way to do that. This is where performance is a big consideration. In this jsperf test we can see which one performs well. Of four of them the last wicked way performs well in all browsers except chrome and safari webkit browsers(I don’t know why). At the end the best way is to use the parseInt, somebody might prefer using +”Value” for ease of typing. However should know the performance benefits of the other ways. Similarly, string conversion
var date = new Date();
var ds = date.toString();
var dr = date+"";
In this case ds==dr, the way toString works is faster in most cases. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Naceur Ben Jaâfar
Naceur Ben Jaâfar (full name, Naceur Ben Mohamed Ali Ben Rachid Ben Jaâfar) (June 15, 1923 – September 22, 1970) was a Tunisian politician and labour activist.
Pre-independence political and trade union activism
After primary education in the Franco-Arab Koranic school of Al Irfania, he started his secondary education at Collège Sadiki, from which he was expelled because of his political activities, when, in 1938, he joined the Neo-Destour cell in Halfaouine (a popular district in Tunis). That was before he became in 1951 a member of the Neo-Destour Federation, for Tunis and its suburbs. He was also elected member of the Neo-Destour National Council, during the party 5th Congress, held in Sfax, in November 1955.
He was equally a trade-union activist within the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), since its inception in 1946, he was a member-elect of the Executive Bureau of the labour regional union for the Tunis constituency, from 1947 to 1949, during its 3rd Congress, held in Tunis in April 1949.
Naceur Ben Jaâfar, political prisoner Nb. 266 at the Teboursouk military prison, on June 10, 1952.
He was also active in the press. He was on the editorial boards of various newspapers, notably Arraquib (a weekly newspaper in Arabic), Mission (the Neo-Destour weekly in French, issued from 1948 to 1952), (weekly in Arabic issued as of 1953) and the daily paper Assabah.
Naceur Ben Jaâfar was arrested and detained several times, between 1952 and 1954, for, among other accusations, fomenting struggle against the colonisers, writing and disseminating tracts denouncing colonisation. He was thus imprisoned in the Jalal camp in Ben Gardane (January–September 1952), the Tataouine military prison (May–September 1953), and the Bordj le Boeuf camp (June–September 1954). He was then appointed by the Neo-Destour as a member of the Committee of the Tunisian Government representatives in charge of contacts with the fellagas all over Tunisia, in order to convince them to relinquish their weapons, with the militant Houcine Bouzaiane,
Post-independence political career
Naceur Ben Jaâfar was elected as a member of the National Assembly in 1969.
After the independence of Tunisia on March 20, 1956, he was elected as a member of the first Constituent Assembly, at the head of the National Front ballot list (coalition between the Neo-Destour, the Tunisian General Labour Union UGTT, the Tunisian Union for Agriculture and Fishing UTAP and the Tunisian Union for Industry, Commerce and Handicraft UTICA) for the Matmata, Tataouine Ouerghemma, Nefzaoua and Medenine constituency.
He held his MP seat for a short time, since he was soon appointed, from June 1956 to October 1960, as Governor of Souk el Arba (now Jendouba), a Tunisian-Algerian border area, in the Northwestern part of the country, that represented a strategic spot and a contact-zone between the Algerian revolution, launched on November 1, 1954 and the Tunisian Government. Indeed, the town of Ghardimaou in the Governorate of Jendouba hosted the HQ of the National Liberation Army, the armed arm of the Algerian National Liberation Front, led in 1960 by Colonel Houari Boumediene.
In October 1960, Naceur Ben Jaâfar was transferred to the Governorate of Sfax, before he was appointed Governor of Bizerta in October 1961, two months after the Bizerta crisis. He held that position until July 1964.
In November 1964, he was elected as a member of the National Assembly, representing the Northern Tunis constituency. In 1966, he was elected as a member of the Tunis municipal council. On November 2, 1969, he was re-elected for Legislature 1969-1974 to represent the Tunis constituency, but died before the end of his term, on September 22, 1970.

Adhd Controlled Substance Agreement
ADHD Controlled Substance Agreement: A Guide for Patients and Medical Professionals
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting both children and adults. The primary symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can impair daily functioning and quality of life. Treatment of ADHD often involves the use of controlled substances, such as stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin. While these medications can be highly effective in managing ADHD symptoms, they are also subject to abuse and diversion.
To ensure the safe and appropriate use of controlled substances for ADHD treatment, a controlled substance agreement (CSA) is often implemented. A CSA is a written agreement between a patient and their healthcare provider, outlining the terms and conditions for the prescribing, dispensing, and monitoring of controlled substances.
The following are key elements typically included in a CSA for ADHD treatment:
1. Purpose and Scope: The CSA should clearly state the purpose of the agreement, which is to ensure the safe and effective use of controlled substances for the treatment of ADHD. It should also specify the scope of the agreement, including the types of controlled substances that will be prescribed and the duration of the agreement.
2. Patient Responsibilities: The patient must agree to comply with all terms of the CSA, including taking the medication as prescribed, not sharing or selling the medication, and reporting any adverse effects or concerns to their healthcare provider.
3. Provider Responsibilities: The healthcare provider must agree to follow all applicable laws and regulations related to controlled substances, including proper documentation, monitoring, and communication with the patient.
4. Drug Testing: The CSA may require periodic drug testing to ensure that the patient is taking the medication as prescribed and not misusing or abusing it. Drug testing can also help identify possible drug interactions or side effects.
5. Refills and Renewals: The CSA should specify the guidelines for prescription refills and renewals, including the frequency and timing of medication refills and the requirement for in-person visits with the healthcare provider.
6. Discontinuation of Treatment: The CSA should address how the medication will be safely and appropriately discontinued if the patient`s symptoms improve or if there are concerns about misuse or adverse effects.
7. Risks and Benefits: The CSA should clearly outline the potential risks and benefits of ADHD treatment with controlled substances, acknowledging that the use of these medications may involve some degree of risk but can also provide significant benefits for the patient.
Overall, a CSA for ADHD treatment with controlled substances is an important tool for ensuring the safe and appropriate use of these medications. Patients and healthcare providers should work together to understand and adhere to the terms of the agreement, while maintaining open communication about any concerns or issues that arise during the course of treatment. With proper monitoring and management, controlled substance treatment for ADHD can be an effective and valuable tool for improving the quality of life for patients with this condition. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Coyotes extend Golden Knights' home slump
EditorsNote: Removes ‘Derek’ in 4th graf Nick Cousins and Richard Panik each had a goal and an assist, and Darcy Kuemper made 41 saves to lead the Arizona Coyotes to a 5-2 victory over the slumping Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. Alex Galchenyuk, Josh Archibald and Jordan Oesterle also scored goals for Arizona, which moved within four points of the Minnesota Wild for the second Western Conference wild-card spot with its second straight win. Derek Stepan added a pair of assists. Nate Schmidt and Brandon Pirri scored for Vegas, which tied its franchise record with its fourth straight home loss. Marc-Andre Fleury finished with 21 saves for the Golden Knights, who have won just four times in their past 12 games. Arizona took a 2-0 lead midway the second period with goals on consecutive shots. Oesterle got the first on the power play at 9:38, firing a wrist shot into a wide-open left side of the net off a nice crossing pass from Stepan for his sixth goal of the season. Galchenyuk then followed with a breakaway goal, deking Fleury and then putting in a forehand shot that bounced in off the left post for his 12th of the season. Pirri cut it to 2-1 just 29 seconds later with a wrist shot from the dot in the left circle for his ninth goal of the season. A no-look backhand pass from the boards by Cody Eakin set up the tally. The Golden Knights had a chance to tie it two minutes later when Reilly Smith was awarded a penalty shot after getting hooked by Kevin Connauton on a breakaway. Smith beat Kuemper with a backhand try, but the puck hit the right post and bounced out. Schmidt then tied it just before the end of the period. Off a Max Pacioretty pass, he fired a wrist shot from the right circle under Kuemper’s right arm for his career-high sixth goal of the season and his 100th career point. Cousins then scored what proved to be the game-winner midway through the third period with his first goal in 13 games. He took a feed from behind the net by Panik into the slot and then slid the puck under Fleury for his sixth goal of the season. Archibald made it 4-2 with his sixth goal of the season with 2:12 remaining. Panik added an empty-net goal to seal it with 56.8 seconds to go. —Field Level Media | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Afyonkarahisar
Afyonkarahisar (, afyon 'poppy, opium', kara 'black', hisar 'fortress' ) is a city in western Turkey. It is the administrative centre of Afyonkarahisar Province and Afyonkarahisar District. Its population is 251,799 (2021). Afyon is in the mountainous countryside inland from the Aegean coast, 250 km south-west of Ankara along the Akarçay River. In Turkey, Afyonkarahisar stands out as a capital city of hot springs and spas, an important junction of railway, highway and air traffic in West-Turkey, and the place where independence was won. In addition, Afyonkarahisar is one of the top leading provinces in agriculture, globally renowned for its marble and is the world's largest producer of pharmaceutical opium. In antiquity the city was called Akroinon and it is the site of Afyonkarahisar Castle.
Etymology
The name Afyon Kara Hisar literally means opium black fortress in Turkish, since opium was widely grown here and there is a castle on a black rock. Also known simply as Afyon. Older spellings include Karahisar-i Sahip, Afium-Kara-hissar and Afyon Karahisar. The city was known as Afyon (opium), until the name was changed to Afyonkarahisar by the Turkish Parliament in 2004.
Ancient times
The top of the rock in Afyon has been fortified for a long time. It was known to the Hittites as Hapanuwa, and was later occupied by Phrygians, Lydians and Achaemenid Persians until it was conquered by Alexander the Great. After the death of Alexander the city (now known as Akroinοn (Ακροϊνόν) or Nikopolis (Νικόπολις) in Ancient Greek), was ruled by the Seleucids and the kings of Pergamon, then Rome and Byzantium.
Medieval period
Akroinοn became an important fortress in the Armeniakon theme due to its strategic location and natural defences and was first mentioned in Byzantine history when it was attacked in 716 and 732 by Arabs invaders. The Byzantine emperor Leo III renamed the city Nicopolis (Greek for "city of victory") after his victory over Arab besiegers under Abdallah al-Battal (who would become the famous Turkish literature figure of Battal Gazi) in 740. Since the 10th century it was also a bishopric of Phrygia Salutaris.
After 1071 the town became part of the frontier zone between the Byzantine Empire and the invading Turks. The city was still held by the former in 1112 but was lost to the Sultanate of Rum at some time before 1146 when Manuel I Komnenos won a victory here. The Turks were unable to firmly control the city until around 1210, renaming it to Kara Hissar ("black castle") after the ancient fortress situated upon a volcanic rock 201 meters above the town. Following the dispersal of the Seljuqs the town was occupied by the Sâhib Ata and then the Germiyanids.
The castle was finally conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Beyazid I in 1392 but was lost after the invasion of Timur Lenk in 1402. It was recaptured in 1428 or 1429.
Modern times
The area thrived during the Ottoman Empire, as the centre of opium production and Afyon became a wealthy city. From 1867 until 1922, Afyon was part of the Hüdavendigâr vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. In 1902, a fire burning for 32 hours destroyed parts of the city. During the 1st World War British prisoners of war who had been captured at Gallipoli were housed here in an empty Armenian church at the foot of the rock. During the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) campaign (part of the Turkish War of Independence) Afyon and the surrounding hills were occupied by Greek forces. However, it was recovered on 27 August 1922, a key moment in the Turkish counter-attack in the Aegean region. After 1923 Afyon became a part of the Republic of Turkey.
The region was a major producer of raw opium (hence the name Afyon) until the late 1960s when under international pressure, from the US in particular, the fields were burnt and production ceased. Now poppies are grown under a strict licensing regimen. They do not produce raw opium any more but derive Morphine and other opiates using the poppy straw method of extraction.
Afyon was depicted on the reverse of the Turkish 50 lira banknote of 1927–1938.
Economy
The economy of Afyonkarahisar is based on agriculture, industries and thermal tourism. Especially its agriculture is strongly developed from the fact, a large part of its population living in the countrysides. Which stimulated agricultural activities greatly.
Marble
Afyonkarahisar produces an important chunk of Turkish processed marbles, it ranks second on processed marble exports and fourth on travertine. Afyon holds an important share of Turkish marble reserves, with some 12,2% of total Turkish reserves.
Historically marble from Afyon was generally referred to as "Docimeaen marble" due to the place where it was mined, Docimium. Afyon has unique marble types and colors, which were historically very renown and are unique to Afyon such as "Afyon white", historically known as "Synnadic white", "Afyon Menekse", historically known as "Pavonazzetto", and "Afyon kaplan postu", a less popular type.
Docimian marble was highly admired and valued for its unique colors and fine grained quality by ancient people such as the Romans. When the Romans took control over Docimaean quarries, they were impressed by the beautiful color combinations of the Docimaean Pavonazzetto, which is a type of white marble with purple veins. Emperors such as Augustus, Trajan and Hadrian made extensive use of Docimaean marble to many of their major building projects. These include the Pantheon, Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Aemilia.
Thermal sector
The geography of Afyon has great geothermal activity. Hence, the place has plenty of thermal springs. There are five main springs and all of them have high mineral content with temperatures ranging between 40 and 100 °C. The waters have strong healing properties to some diseases. As a result, plenty of thermal facilities formed over time.
In time, Afyon has developed its thermal sector with more capacity, comfort and innovation. Afyon combined the traditional bath houses with 5-star resorts, the health benefits of the natural springs have put the thermal resorts further then a mere attraction. Hospitals and universities have come in association with thermal resorts, to utilize the full health potentials of the thermals. As such, Afyon Kocatepe University Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital opened for that purpose. Afyon now has the largest residence capacity of thermal resorts, of which a large part are 5-star thermal hotels which give medical care with qualified personnel.
Spa water
Kızılay, was the first mineral water factory in Turkey which opened in Afyon, in 1926 by Atatürk. After the mineral water from Gazligöl springs, healed Atatürk's kidneys and proved its health benefits. Since its foundation, "Kızılay Mineral Water" grew as the biggest mineral water distributor in Turkey, Middle-East and Balkans.
Pharmaceuticals and morphine
Almost a third of all the morphine produced in the world derives from alkaloids factory in Afyon, named as "Afyon Alkaloids". this large capacity is the byproduct of Afyon's poppy plantations. The pharmaceuticals derive from the opium of the poppy capsules. "Afyon Alkaloids" factory is the largest of its kind in the world, with high capacity processing ability and modern laboratories. The raw opium is put through a chain of biochemical processes, resulting into several types of morphine.
In the Alkaloid Extraction Unit only base morphine is produced. In the adjacent Derivatives Unit half of the morphine extracted is converted to morphine hydrochloride, codeine, codeine phosphate, codeine sulphate, codeine hydrochloride, morphine sulphate, ethylmorphine hydrochloride.
Agriculture
Livestocks Afyon breeds a large amount of livestock, its landscape and demography is suitable for this field. As such it ranks in the top 10 within Turkey in terms of amounts of sheep and cattle it has.
Meat and meat products As a result of being an important source of livestock, related sectors such as meat and meat products are also very productive in Afyon. Its one of the leading provinces in red meat production and has very prestigious brand marks of sausages, such as "Cumhuriyet Sausages".
Eggs Afyon is the sole leader in egg production within Turkey. It has the largest amount of laying hens, with a figure of 12,7 million. And produces a record amount of 6 million eggs per day.
Cherries and sour cherries Sour cherries are cultivated in Afyon in very large numbers, so much so that it became very iconic to Afyon. Every year, a sour cherry festival takes place in the Cay district. It is the largest producer of sour cherries in Turkey. The sour cherries grown in Afyon are of excellent quality because of the ideal climate they're grown in. For the same reason Afyon is also an ideal place for cherry cultivation. First quality cherries known as "Napolyon Cherries" are grown in abundance, its one of the top 5 leading provinces. Poppy One of the iconic agricultural practices of Afyon is the cultivation of poppy. Afyon's climate is ideal for the cultivation of this plant, hence a large amount of poppy plantation occurs in this region. Though, a strong limitation came some decades ago from international laws, cause of the opium content of poppy plants peels. Nevertheless, Afyon is the largest producer of poppy in Turkey and accounts for a large amount of global production.
Potatoes and sugar-beets Afyon has a durable reputation in potato production, it produces around 8% of Turkish potato requirement. It ranks in the top 5 in potato, sugar-beets, cucumber and barley production.

Root partition is full
Introduction
The system’s root partition (also known as / or slash) is the partition where the operating system’s base is installed.
Every other user files should be located in a sub-directory of /home.
When the root partition is near or reach its maximum capacity it can translate into an array of hard to diagnose problems on your server.
Symptoms
• The system is unstable
• Apache cannot be restarted
• Email server cannot fetch emails
• Impossible to install new software or updates
Troubleshooting
With a simple SSH command:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 1.9G 981M 887M 53% /
/dev/hda2 34G 3.8G 29G 12% /home
none 61M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm
Or if you are using Webmin:
• With SSL: https://nsXXXXXXX.ip-XXX-XXX-XXX.net:10000/fdisk/
• Without SSL: http://nsXXXXXXX.ip-XXX-XXX-XXX.net:10000/fdisk/
Note
You must replace nsXXXXXXX.ip-XXX-XXX-XXX.net with the hostname of your server.
Causes
They are many:
• Backup of your sites in a directory other than a /home sub-directory;
• Big archives extracted in the /root directory;
• Setup of massive software (for example online game server) in a directory belonging to the system partition (for example /usr),
• Bug of mod_gzip;
• Overflow of the email queue
• Old logs piled up
Solutions
Unloading
For the first two cases, you just need to move the files/directories in a /home sub-directory.
First we need to find large files that need to be moved elsewhere. For this you can use the command du.
Here are some examples of how du can be used:
ls
a.log b.log c.log d.log
du
3411980 .
du -chs
3.3G .
3.3G total
du -chs *
2.0M a.log
30M b.log
301M c.log
3.0G d.log
3.3G total
To find the five most massive files in a directory, you can execute the following command:
ls -lh --sort=size | head -n 5
total 20M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.6M may 1 18:00 vim-common-6.1-18.7x.2.i386.rpm

There is a 20MB file in this directory (the sub directories are not taken into account) The more massive file is vim-common-6.1-18.7x.2.i386.rpm: its size is 2.6MB
To solve the problem, we are going to place the bulky files in a directory on /home.
Visibly, these are .rpm and .tar.gz (softwares archives). You are not obliged to keep them in /root. Therefore, we are going to creae a directory on /home to store them.
mkdir /home/archives
mv *.tar.gz *.rpm /home/archives
Unloading massive software
For example, you have installed a HLDS server (Half-Life Dedicated Server) in /usr/local/game/hlds. This directory is on the system partition, thus you have to move it on /home and create a symbolic link in order the path to remain valid.
Warning
Make sure you stop the HLDS server before the operation!
mv /usr/local/game/hlds /home/
ln -s /home/hlds /usr/local/game/hlds
Bug of mod_gzip
It may happen that mod_gzip doesn’t delete its temporary files located in /tmp and that they reach an important size (several GB). To realise it:
ls -l /tmp/*.wrk

To delete them:
rm -rf /tmp/*.wrk
This bug is known but its origin is not. For the moment, the only one solution to avoid it is to deactivate mod_gzip in httpd.conf. Look for mod_gzip yes line and replace it by mod_gzip no. Then restart Apache that way:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
This bug only occurs for some site (probably due to a PHP or CGI script). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Modularizing in VB .NET
This is a VB.NET question. I would like to modularize code. I have a form with many "tab pages". Each tab page has many controls. I want to separate "code" of each tab in a separate file (.VB file for each tab).
For example, Form1 has tab1 and tab2.
tab1 has a textbox1 and textbox2
tabe2 has datagrid1 and datagrid2.
I would like to separate the code of each tab. Ideally, I would like to create "tab1.vb" (any file name) which populaties data for textbox1, textbox2.
Similarly, tab2.vb will have code for popualting the data grids.
Is there any way to modularize the code? The moment I refer a control name (textbox1) in "tab1.vb", it says the variable is undeclared. I tried putting Form1.textbox1 also. It didn't work.
Thanks

Your difficulty if you come from the VB6 world is that all forms and controls were usable without problems.
In .Net, you need to create specific instance of forms (dim MyForm as Form1) and be sure that controls are Public (the Modifiers property). Only then you can tell something like MyForm.Label1.Text = "New value"
It is not a good practice to have class talking or using forms directly.
I really think the way to go in your case is to create forms that will be use in your tabpage like the example I gave you earlier.

In tab1.vb, you must include fully qualify the control name.

This is really easy with .Net
Create form2.vb:
-This form will be hosted in a tabpage
-Set the form's FormBorderStyle to None
-Set the form's ControlBox to False
-Put any controls and any code you want
Create form1.vb
-This will be your master form
-This is a regular form
-Add a TabControl
-Add a Button
-In the Click event, add this code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim x As New Form2()
x.TopLevel = False
Me.TabPage2.Controls.Add(x)
x.Left = 100
x.Show()

Hai TRUENEUTRAL/ emoreau,
I am newbie to VB. What if I created those controls at design time (not at run time). To put it simply, this is what I tried in the Form1.
1) I created a button 'btnClick' and a label named 'Label1'.
2) click event is as follows:
Private Sub btnClick_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnClick.Click
Dim t As New clickClass
t.setLabel()
End Sub
- The click class is
Public Class clickClass
Public Sub setLabel()
Form1.ActiveForm.Controls.Item.Label1.text = "It works Now"
End Sub
End Class
But, I see an error at Form1.ActiveForm.Controls.Item. I know that I cannot use item without index. I don't know the index of Label1. Is there any way I can find the index of Label1t? or How do I refer Label1 from clickClass?
Thanks

Are you trying to organize your code in a better fashion? VB.Net supports the concept of Code Regions that can be collapsed/expanded with a little +/- icon next to the region name.
To start a region you enter this alone on a line:
#Region "Say... Textbox event handlers"
Your code goes in here that matches the region description...in this example, textbox event handlers.
#End Region
You can have as many regions in your code as you want. This makes organizing the code much easier.

Hai Guys,
The question is same. Just I gave examples for it. Sorry for not explanining it properly. I just want to organize the code in a better fashion (I am not looking for the REGIONS to collapse/expand ). My project involves a lot of tab pages and controls. I just don't want to write a lot of lines of code in a single file.
I want to separate things out (like in the second comment). I tried the example in the second comment - clickClass, btnClick... etc.
I just want to refer the control Label1 from the "clickClass.vb". How do I do it?
Public Class clickClass
Public Sub setLabel()
'The following line of code won't work. what is the correct code?
Form1.ActiveForm.Controls.Item.Label1.text = "It works Now"
End Sub

Remember I already did the following

1) I created a button 'btnClick' and a label named 'Label1' in Form1.
2) click event is as follows:

I would like to note that this is a VB.NET forum. The code I posted creates controls at design time, not runtime. The code is tested and works fine.
I showed you how to get the name of the control you are referencing. It would be a simple matter to loop through the controls and look for a name.
If you are coming from the VB world, you should be reading some books on Object Oriented Design before stepping into this mess.
It sounds like you are trying to encapsulate each tab on the form. In my opinion, the best thing for you to do would be to create separate objects for each tab (controls and all) using panels or a similar object and deal with them in that manner.

Hai TRUENEUTRAL,
Thanks for your comment. It will try to create objects as you said for each tab (I came from Java world). The idea of emoreau also works for me - having a master form and a separate form for each tab and hosting these tab page forms to master form.
I tired his idea and it works for me. I will also try yours.

Advantages of the automated binary number system over decimal system
Ever since the CD appeared as the first digital music medium for consumers in the early 80's, digitization of the audio world has progressed steadily. Commercial sound systems are being designed to take advantage of the numerous merits of digital technology as well. Here's a brief summary of the basics of digital audio.
In digital audio systems, analog audio signals are converted to digital numeric data that is then transmitted and processed while in digital form. Values represented as a series of ones and zeroes are known as "binary" values, as opposed to the "decimal" values made up of the ten numbers from "0" to "9" that we use on a daily basis. Since sound is basically vibrations travelling through air, as we saw in the "What is Sound? That's why digital technology is currently concentrated in the mixing and processing stages of the sound system.
This leads to the question: Noise is lurking in every stage of any sound system, from the microphone at the input to the speakers at the output. And wherever there are long cable runs there's a chance that more noise will infiltrate the system causing distortion of the signal. This is the same for both analog and digital systems. There were counter wheels and relay components. Aiken was greatly concerned with the apperance of the machine, and dispite war time and lack of materials, Mark I was covered with steel and glass.
Mark I was a very flexible machine, although it was not that automatical as its original name suggests, while much of its operation had to be set manually. Mark I was, in modern terms, a parallel synchronous calculator with a word length of 24; 23 decimal digits and one sign. Calculations are performed decimally with fixed decimal point. The operation unit of the machine consisted of 72 registers called accumulators.
Each accumulator held 24 electromagnetical rotary switches, individually connected by a clutch to a drive shaft, by which decimal units, carry, and timing information were stored.
This provides for a digit number plus a sign. The accumulators are complete addition and subtraction machines and functions as a storage or memory device. There is no clear separation between storage and arithmetic functions. Some of the accumulators are dedicated to a special function, such as accumulator 70 that deals with the absolute value of a quantity, accumulator 70 that can increase the data amount to be stored on expense on accurancy , or accumulator 72 that is the automatic check counter.
Accumulators Addition with carry, example: There are 72 places where addition could be performed , but only one for multiplication. That depends on the fact how IBM's card reader was constructed, but appearently also because of Aiken simply liked addition. Separate devices took care of multiplication and division. The actual multiplcation involves multiple addition; by withdrawal such many multiples of the multiplicand as it's indicated by the multiplier, and then adding them together.
Division on the other hand, are multiple subtractions. There were 60 constant registers that consisted of position rotary switches on which digit signed numbers could be set or retrived through computation. These registers would correspond to what we call programmable ROM, but Mark I's ROM could not in comparison to modern computers, store programs, but simple supplied with numberical constants. Each register contained 24 dial switches which corresponds to 24 digits.
They are decimal in that they use the familiar ten numbers '0' to '9' and they are digital in the sense that only whole numbers are recognized as valid. Number values are represented by gear wheels and each digit of a number has its own wheel. If a wheel comes to rest in a position intermediate between whole number values, the value is regarded as indeterminate and the engine is designed to jam to indicate that the integrity of the calculation has been compromised.
Jamming is a form of error-detection. Babbage considered using number systems other than decimal including binary as well as number bases 3, 4, 5, 12, 16 and He settled for decimal out of engineering efficiency - to reduce the number of moving parts - as well as for their everyday familiarity. Babbage began in with Difference Engine No. The design describes a machine to calculate a series of values and print results automatically in a table.
Integral to the concept of the design is a printing apparatus mechanically coupled to the calculating section and integral to it. From time to time Babbage changed the capacity of the Engine. The design shows a machine calculating with sixteen digits and six orders of difference. The Engine called for some 25, parts shared equally between the calculating section and the printer.
Had it been built it would have weighed an estimated four tons and stood about eight feet high. Work was halted on the construction of the Engine in following a dispute with the engineer, Joseph Clement.
Government funding was finally axed in With the construction project stalled, and freed from the nuts and bolts of detailed construction, Babbage conceived, in , a more ambitious machine, later called Analytical Engine, a general-purpose programmable computing engine. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
General Question
What is Asbestos
The NOHSC Codes of Practice describe asbestos as ‘the fibrous form of mineral silicates belonging to the serpentine and amphibole groups of rock-forming minerals.’ The fibre was used in more than 3,000 products, including asbestos cement products (fibre cement sheets and pipes), insulation products (loose-fill, pipe and boiler insulation), friction materials (clutch plates, brake linings), gaskets, vinyl floor tiles and linoleum, electrical meter boards, caulking, wiring, roofing materials, packing materials, paints and protective paper to name a few.
Individual asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye, can stay airborne a long time and be and easily inhaled into the lungs.
Where asbestos is present, the risk to people is significant both in terms of health and legal liability, particularly if measures to manage risks are not in place. Surprisingly, the use of all forms of asbestos has been banned federally in Australia since 31 December 2003. The ban does not apply to asbestos installed prior to this date (e.g. asbestos materials in houses).
Health Effects of Asbestos
Asbestos remains a public health concern. Inhalation of asbestos has been linked to four respiratory diseases: Asbestosis, Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer and Fibrosis. The latency period between exposure to asbestos and the onset of the diseases is generally between 15 and 40 years, with symptoms generally not displaying until the advanced stages of illness.
Asbestosis and Mesothelioma can not be effectively treated, and most persons suffering from Mesothelioma unfortunately die within twelve months of diagnosis.
The most harmful asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye and easily breathed into the lungs. Studies have shown fibres 5–10 μm long and <0.25 μm in diameter were associated most strongly with lung cancer mortality. These particulates are called respirable fibres. Asbestos is commonly suggested in the industry as the ‘silent killer’. The reason for this term is because persons being exposed to asbestos, even in high concentrations, would not be aware of the dangers or even exposure. Many believe there would be an itching sensation, scratching, shortness of breath, smell or visual indication of the airborne dust. This isn’t the case. In fact, it completely goes undetected. Asbestos air monitoring could only detect asbestos airborne fibre concentrations.
Asbestos can be identified and analysed by PLM (Polarised Light Microscopy) with dispersion staining technique. Asbestos fibres such as Crocidolite (blue asbestos) and Amosite (brown asbestos) are most hazardous to health. While Chrysotile (white asbestos) is most common. The word ‘asbestos’ comes from the ancient Greek term, meaning “unquenchable” or “inextinguishable”. Health effects having an accumulation of asbestos inside the lungs are massive. The contraction and retraction of your lungs over time, whilst breathing, causes scratching which in turn causes scarring, inflammation and ultimately cancer or respiratory diseases.
Asbestos is an IARC Group 1 carcinogen. Inhalation of airborne asbestos fibres can cause death and therefore concentrations of airborne asbestos are a risk that must be controlled. Airborne asbestos fibres can result from: the release of asbestos fibres through the unsafe removal or disturbance of cement sheeting, performance of many ordinary tasks such replacing certain types of ducting or insulating materials, plant, accidental contact with asbestos materials causing the fibres to break free, and failure to adequately maintain an asbestos containing material resulting in the release of asbestos fibres.
Types of Asbestos
There are two main categories which all forms of asbestos fall under; it should be noted that each of these types have very different characteristics and differ substantially in their potential to cause harm. The method of removal of each of these types of asbestos also differs substantially along with the cost associated with the removal.
1. NON-FRIABLE (Bonded) Asbestos (tightly bound)
Bonded materials containing asbestos are the most common. These are mainly found in Australia in the domestic and Commercial domains. The construction industry widely used in general fibre cement (fibro) building products in many applications. They are mainly made up of a bonding compound (such as cement), with typically up to 30% asbestos. Bonded materials containing asbestos are solid, quite rigid and the asbestos fibres are tightly bound into the material. They are commonly called ‘fibro’ short for fibrous, ‘asbestos cement’ or ‘AC sheeting’.
If you come across fibre cement sheeting and not sure whether it contains asbestos, get advice from professional consultants such as Asbestex. Sheets or lining were nailed on with flat head nails which are usually visible under painted surfaces unlike gyprock or plasterboard.
If you can see the branding stamped on the underside reading ‘Wunderlich’ ‘Hardiflex’ ‘Tilux’ ‘Zonolite’ ‘Shadowline’ ‘Galbestos’ ‘Firestop’ ‘Durasbestos’ ‘Durawall’ you can certainly presume the product contains asbestos. The only way to be positive is to contact Asbestex for analysis. Sampling is relatively inexpensive. If you happen to come across the international sticker ‘a’ for asbestos symbol (incorporated into our logo) this means DANGER this material contains asbestos. Any non-friable asbestos over the amount of 10 square metres must be removed by a ‘CLASS B’ asbestos licence holder.
Some examples of materials classified as bonded asbestos are:
• Wall and Ceiling sheeting
• Corrugated roofing
• Asbestos Pipes and Vents
• Fencing Panels
• Guttering
• Water tanks
• Mechanical breaks
2. FRIABLE Asbestos (loosely bound or dust)
Loosely bound materials containing asbestos are far more hazardous than bonded (see above). They were primarily used in commercial and industrial settings for fire proofing, sound proofing and insulation, sub-floor linings and can be also found in some old domestic heaters, stoves, hot water systems, associated pipe lagging, in the backing of vinyl linoleum floor coverings and mill board. Dust known as ACD (Asbestos Contaminated Dust) are also a major problem we encounter on a near daily basis. These materials can be made of up to 100% asbestos. They are quite loose and can be turned to dust with very light pressure, such as crushing with your hand. Loosely bound materials containing asbestos are very dangerous as the asbestos fibres can get into the air very easily and inhaled. They must only be handled and removed by a contractor with a ‘CLASS A’ asbestos removal licence.
Some examples of materials classified as friable asbestos are:
• Insulation
• Fire retardant
• Pipe lagging
• Caulking
• Gaskets and seals
• Fire Damaged fibre cement
How do I know if I have Asbestos at home or work?
Asbestex has a team of qualified consultants and technicians that can conduct comprehensive visual inspections of your home, work place or project. We also offer pre-purchase inspections. We will advise you of the location and whether risks may be present. Not all asbestos containing materials pose hazards and risks. Once we have determined the locations of these materials we will give our recommendations on how to proceed and what to look for. We also give free advice as how to manage asbestos at your premises or workplace.
Asbestos - and what to look for
How do i know if i'm being exposed to asbestos?
Cases of people being exposed to asbestos are surprisingly on the rise. This may be due to the influx of the renovations of structures that were built in the 1920’s through to the 1980’s. You may become exposed to asbestos if it is disturbed or damaged during a refurbishment, renovation or accident. In some instances people are exposed to deadly asbestos fibres simply by weathered or deteriorated products such as un-painted wall sheeting, damaged lining or old corrugated roof sheeting which are now showing their age.
Disturbed asbestos products in an internal settings, such as a bathroom, can stay airborne for up to 48 hours. Unfortunately it is through negligence and/or lack of awareness, contractors or home owners put themselves and families at risk the most. People may be exposed to asbestos in their workplace, their communities or their homes by unsafe work practices happening near them.
If products containing asbestos are disturbed, microscopic asbestos fibres are released into the air. When asbestos fibres are inhaled, they may get trapped in the lungs and remain there for a lifetime. Over time, these fibres can cause scarring and inflammation, which can affect breathing and lead to serious health problems and ultimately cancer or a dust disease.
The most harmful asbestos fibres are invisible to the naked eye and easily breathed into the lungs. These particulates are called respirable fibres. Asbestos is commonly suggested in the industry as the ‘silent killer’. The reason for this term is because persons being exposed to asbestos, even in high concentrations, would not be aware of the dangers. There is no itching sensation, scratching, shortness of breath, smell or visual indication of the airborne dust.
Fortunately, Asbestex has the technology to detect airborne asbestos fibre concentrations. We can offer asbestos air sampling devices in your residential home or work place. Air Sampling Pumps are inexpensive to operate, safe and extremely accurate in measuring concentrations of airborne asbestos fibres.
Who is at risk for an asbestos-related disease?
Everybody is exposed to asbestos at some time during their life.
Very low levels of asbestos may be present in the air, water, and soil. In some cities tap water can contain asbestos from naturally occurring rock seams and shelves through a catchment. However, most people do not become ill from their brief exposure or digestion.
People who commonly become ill from asbestos are usually those who have been exposed to very high concentrations in a short period of time or exposed to prolong concentrations over a medium-long period of time or regular basis – most often in an occupation where they work or live directly with the material or through substantial environmental contact or renovation.
Exposure to asbestos may increase the risk of asbestosis, other non-malignant lung and plural disorders, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other cancers. Smokers who are also exposed to asbestos have a greatly increased risk of lung cancer.
In most cases you will not get ill living with asbestos. However, the asbestos you do live with must be well maintained, encapsulated and in sound condition to eliminate or lower potential health risks. Living or working with no asbestos materials is the still safest option.
What is an asbestos materials survey report?
Surveys are the best option before purchasing a property, renovating or demolition. An Asbestos Register is required for any work place in NSW. In many cases it is the responsibility of the property owner, builder or Strata Manager to properly identify the hazardous substances on a property or project.
You can request a quote for an ‘asbestos survey and building materials report’. This is a comprehensive survey to determine the presence, location, extent, condition and recommendations of suspected asbestos in all areas of your home or workplace. This report includes sampling and testing of materials attached to your report.
I've been exposed to asbestos, what should i do?
The last thing you should do is panic. The first thing we recommend you do (if still in the contaminated area) is wear a P2 dust mask, remove any suspected contaminated clothing or tools and place them in a sealed plastic bag. Exit and isolate the area you think is contaminated with asbestos and de-contaminate your self with disposable wet wipes. Ensure you do not cross-contaminate other areas from dust/debris on shoes. Contact Asbestex for assistance. DO NOT VACUUM the area. Domestic vacuum cleaners are unsuitable and should NEVER BE USED, even if they have a ‘HEPA’ filter. Asbestex offers 24/7 emergency assistance for clean ups and cordoning off contaminated areas. It is very important to assess the amount of your exposure after the incident. Time / Exposure = Risk.
Being exposed to asbestos once, even under moderate concentrations, would not be catastrophic in most cases. However, if you think you were exposed to high levels of asbestos over a long period of time you may be at increased risk of certain cancers or respiratory diseases. Not many people are familiar with asbestos and not many people know what materials contain asbestos.
There is no way of medically diagnosing asbestos exposure days, months or even years after your exposure. This is because minute particles cannot be detected even with the most sophisticated x-ray machines available to us today.
Talk to your doctor about whether you should get regular health check-ups to look for signs of asbestos-related diseases. This is especially important if you are a smoker or worked with asbestos regularly. You may want to ask about seeing a doctor experienced with asbestos-related diseases. Some doctors recommend that people with heavy asbestos exposure get regular chest x-rays or CT scans and lung function tests.
Again, these tests can not detect asbestos fibres themselves, but they can sometimes find problems, including some cancers, that could be caused by the fibres. In fact, some expert groups advise that asbestos exposure alone is enough to consider getting regular CT scans to screen for lung cancer, regardless of a person’s smoking history.
If you are a previous employee, tradesman or family member of someone who used to work with asbestos and have symptoms that might be related to asbestos exposure such as shortness of breath, a new or worsening cough, coughing up blood, pain or tightness in the chest, trouble swallowing, or unintended weight loss. See your doctor promptly for any respiratory illness.
If you reside in Sydney, NSW, a few centres offer medical check-ups that specialise in asbestos. We recommend the ‘Workers’ Compensation Dust Diseases Board’.
The DDB can be contacted on 1800 550 027 or (02)8223 6600 and located at Level 15, 321 Kent St, Sydney, NSW 2000.
If you think you may have been exposed to asbestos negligently by a tradesmen or contractor it is best you seek legal advice. Taking legal action against persons or companies for any asbestos related case can be very costly and time consuming. Litigation should only be considered by persons physically diagnosed with an asbestos related disease rather than assumed exposure. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

376 was not born in a day. To use the sound language of an old chronicler, it was thought out and wrought out.
The work of Gutenberg will require a treatment different from that given to the work of Coster. It is not necessary to introduce the subject by a description of his books, by proof of his existence from writings made a century after his death, and, by a train of fine speculative reasoning, to show that he should have been the printer of the books ascribed to him by conjecture. Our knowledge of Gutenberg is incomplete, but it is positive as far as it goes. He did not put his name on any book, but he certainly printed many books; it does not appear that he ever boasted that he was the inventor of typography, but this honor was conceded to him by many printers soon after his death. His antagonists in courts of law, as well as the friends who put up tablets to his memory, have told us, as plainly as could be desired, that he was a master of many curious arts, and that he had made a broad and unmistakable mark on his time.
There is no record of the birth of Gutenberg, but it is the belief of his German biographers that he was born at Mentz about 1398 or 1399. His parents were, Frielo Gensfleisch and Else Gutenberg. Their two children were, John Gutenberg, named after his mother, and Frielo Gensfleisch. Frielo junior was always called Gensfleisch, but John, whose relation to the Gensfleisch family must have been well known, was sometimes described as John Gensfleisch, junior.

It is well known that people who exercise regularly weigh less and have a reduced risk for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. But did you also know that physical activity relieves pain from arthritis, is more effective than medications for treatment of depression, builds strong bones, and the list goes on? Simply put, people who are regularly active feel better, enjoy better health, and live longer.
Leading health and fitness organizations agree that adults should engage in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. If you are ready to work towards this goal but aren’t sure how to begin, the following tips will help you get started.
1. Get the “okay” from your health care provider. If you are unsure whether you are healthy enough to begin an exercise program, discuss this with your health care provider first.
2. Choose activities that you enjoy. This will make it much easier to stick with the program. Vary your activities to avoid boredom or burnout.
3. Start low and go slow. Begin with small amounts of low intensity exercise. For example, an inactive person could start by walking at a regular pace for 5 minutes twice a day, 5 days per week. Slowly increase the amount of time and intensity.
• [Episodes of activity should eventually last at least 10 minutes and be performed on 3 or more days of the week]
4. Up the intensity. Use a 0-10 scale to rate the intensity of your activity (0=sitting, 10=highest level of effort possible). Once you can easily complete low intensity activity, you are ready to increase your effort.
• Moderate intensity activity rates 5 or 6. You can talk comfortably but not sing. [examples: brisk walking, biking less than 10 miles/hour, gardening, ballroom dancing]
• Vigorous intensity *activity rates 7 or 8. You can only speak a few words before taking a breath. [examples: race walking, jogging, running, biking 10 miles/hour or faster, tennis (singles), heavy gardening, swimming laps]
5. Flex those muscles. Resistance or weight training will help strengthen muscles, build sturdy bones, and increase your metabolism.
• Strengthen all major muscle groups twice a week (legs, hips, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms). This is in addition to the aerobic activity goal.
• Perform 8-12 repetitions of each exercise. Do multiple sets to build more strength.
6. Plan ahead. At the start of each week, look at your schedule and write in where your physical activity will fit the best.
7. Chart your progress. Keep track of your activity on a calendar or activity log. It is motivating to see your progress as you increase the frequency, intensity, and amount of time spent doing physical activity.
8. Ditch the “all-or-nothing” mentality. Even if you can’t meet your weekly goal for activity and strength training, doing something is always better than nothing. Refer to the FitFact, “Small steps to increase physical activity” for ideas on how to make activity a part of your daily routine.
*1 minute of vigorous activity= 2 minutes of moderate activity. For example, 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week may be substituted for 150 minutes of moderate activity.

Drawer for Navigation
The Drawer is a different kind of a menu that is commonly used to navigate between pages in the app - it can generate the needed links for you through its UrlField when data binding.
To use the Drawer for navigating between pages:
• Add the Drawer to the MainLayout.razor of your app.
• Put the @Body tag in the <DrawerContent> tag of the drawer.
• Provide a collection of models that describe the pages you want the user to navigate to.
You can find a runnable sample that showcases this in the Drawer as Side Navigation sample project.
Use the Drawer for Navigation in MainLayout.razor
@* This is a very basic layout to showcase the concept. You may want to add a header, footer,
collapse/expand button and add desired heights to the layout and drawer *@
@inherits LayoutComponentBase
<TelerikRootComponent>
<TelerikDrawer Data="@NavigablePages" Expanded="true" MiniMode="true" Mode="@DrawerMode.Push">
<DrawerContent>
@Body
</DrawerContent>
</TelerikDrawer>
</TelerikRootComponent>
@code{
List<DrawerItem> NavigablePages { get; set; } =
new List<DrawerItem>
{
new DrawerItem { Text = "Home", Url = "/", Icon = FontIcon.Home },
new DrawerItem { Separator = true },
new DrawerItem { Text = "Counter", Url = "counter", Icon = FontIcon.PlusOutline },
new DrawerItem { Text = "FetchData", Url = "fetchdata", Icon = FontIcon.Grid }
};
public class DrawerItem
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public FontIcon? Icon { get; set; }
public bool Separator { get; set; }
}
}
Notes
• The UrlField has a default value (Url) and that will be used if present in the model even if you do not define it explicitly.
• The component uses the NavigationManager from the framework to perform the navigation based on the value from the UrlField.
• If you have a template that adds anchors, or use a click event to navigate the user yourself, this may lead to double navigation and errors, especially if your model has a field called Url. To avoid such problems, either let the Telerik component do the navigation and remove the application-specific code that does it as well, or remove the URL setting (either rename the model field, or point the UrlField to a non-existing field).
• You may also find useful this article on selecting a Drawer item when a page loads.

Trump says Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigns
Embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned at the "request" of President Donald Trump on Wednesday after more than a year of public criticism from the president. Sessions' chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, will serve as acting attorney general, Trump announced. Whitaker also will assume oversight of the ongoing investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and possible collusion by Trump's campaign in that meddling, according to the Justice Department. Whitaker, who has publicly criticized the Mueller investigation, by law can serve as acting AG for a maximum of 210 days. He will have the power to fire Mueller "for cause" as outlined under rules governing the special counsel's office, if such cause is found. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein up till now has had oversight over the Mueller probe, as a result of Sessions' move to recuse himself from the investigation in 2017. Sessions, 71, had been repeatedly blasted by Trump for his recusal. Trump has said that moment opened the door to special counsel Mueller's probe, which the president has repeatedly called a "witch hunt." Sessions' resignation was expected to happen sometime after Tuesday's midterm elections, particularly given the drumbeat of the president's repeated criticism of the attorney general. Bob Woodward's recently published book about the Trump administration, "Fear," says that the president had called Sessions "mentally retarded" and a "dumb southerner." Trump has publicly claimed, "I said neither" about Sessions. "I don't have an attorney general," Trump told The Hill in an interview with that news site in September. But the abruptness of the move, less than 24 hours after the close of the polls Tuesday, stunned Trump's closest allies both inside and outside of the White House. "I didn't know this was coming, especially so soon after the midterms," one source said on the condition of anonymity. Hours before the resignation was announced, Trump was asked about Sessions' future in the administration. "I'd rather answer that at a little bit different time," the president responded. Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said the White House received a resignation letter from Sessions earlier Wednesday and Trump accepted it. Sessions' letter to Trump, which is not dated, begins by saying, "At your request, I am submitting my resignation." A spokesman for Mueller's office declined to comment when contacted by CNBC about the resignation. But Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is the odds on favorite to become the next speaker of the House of Representatives, called Sessions' "firing" a "blatant attempt" by Trump to undermine Mueller. Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat and Senate minority leader, said, "Protecting Mueller and his investigation is paramount." "It would create a constitutional crisis if this was a prelude to ending or greatly limiting the Mueller investigation and I hope President Trump and those he listens to will refrain from that," Schumer said. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, in a tweet wrote: "Americans must have answers immediately behind" Trump removing Sessions from the Justice Department. "Why is the President making this change and who has authority over Special Counsel Mueller's investigation? We will be holding people accountable," Nadler wrote. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

jQuery Question
how to update data in select2 dropdown using ajax
I have a select2 dropdown for location.select2 data is initialised on page load.I want to update the data at regular intervals using ajax.But when I update the data of select2 the select2 dropdown becomes read only
jQuery("#e10_2").select2({
allowClear: true,
minimumInputLength: 1,
data:{ results: locationls, text: function(item) { return item.text; }},
formatSelection: format,
formatResult: format
});
Answer Source
I don't really understand your question and think it needs some clarifying - but as far as I could understand (I ran into this problem and found your question when Googleing it...)
When I first load the page I run the following JavaScript so that all of my drop-down select boxes are styled and using select2:
$('select').select2();
But as your title states, my code below works by updating the drop-down to a new set of data -where my /store/ajax_get_zones function returns HTML for the options:
$(function() {
$('#country').on('change', function() {
$.post("/store/ajax_get_zones", {
country_id: $('#country').val()
}, function(e) {
if (e)
$("#state").html(e).select2();
})
});
});
All you have to do is call .select2() on the element after you update the data.
Screen Shots
Start with the default United States:
Starting/Default United States
Then when you change the country the state drop-down changes as well (ajax updated the inner HTML of the original select while still themed to select2
Changing the country results in the changing of the state dropdown

Examples of Colligative Property
uses of colligative properties
A pot of water set to boil pasta, for example, will boil at a temperature lower than 100 oC. Because the change in vapor pressure is a colligative property, which depends only on the relative number of solute and solvent particles, the changes in the boiling point and the melting point of the solvent are also colligative properties. As you know, liquids will evaporate. Again, the antifreeze in a car radiator is an example of this. The actual extent of an electrolyte dissociation results in a different number of particles present from the number expected if complete dissociation is assumed. As with the other colligative properties, this equation is a consequence of the equality of solvent chemical potentials of the two phases in equilibrium.

For osmotic pressure an example is turgor pressure in plants. In very cold weather, the ambient temperature may be below the freezing point of the salt solution, and the salt will have no effect. Note that as the concentration of the solute increases, so does the effect on both the freezing point and the boiling point. These properties are colligative in systems where the solute is essentially confined to the liquid phase. What is the molar mass of this compound? An example of a nonelectrolyte is glucose.

Vapor Pressure Change Another property of a liquid that changes when a solute is added to it, is the vapor pressure. With a little mathematical manipulation, all values can be related to concentration, and therefore number of particles, and so be practically applied to dosage form preparation. We'll define P o as the vapor pressure of the pure liquid the solvent and P as the vapor pressure of the solvent after a solute has been added. But how do we know the proportion of each ionic species? This article needs additional citations for. By using a solution instead of pure water in the radiator, the liquid will not freeze until you get to some temperature below 0°C which is 32°F , rather than freezing right at 0°C. The process stops and equilibrium is attained when the pressure difference equals the osmotic pressure.

Finally, notice that the solid-gas curves for the solvent and its solution are identical. . Solutions of salt or sugar in water fulfill this condition exactly. Examples include the pressure of an and the depression of the of a caused by dissolved particles. The normal boiling point of water is 100°C. Solution We can solve this problem using four steps. Let's assume, for the moment, that the solvent is the only component of the solution that is volatile enough to have a measurable vapor pressure.

In the advertisements it's called summer protection against boil-overs. The osmotic pressure is directly related to the concentration of solute: more solute translates to a higher osmotic pressure. The freezing point of the solution is, therefore, -3. To vaporize, solvent molecules must be present at the surface of the solution. Equilibrium between two phases liquid-gas for boiling and solid-liquid for freezing occurs when the energy states in each phase can be populated at equal densities.

Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the number of dissolved particles in solution, but not on the identities of the solutes. K f for camphor is 37. The volume of the solution is 275 mL. But they all depend upon the colligative properties of solutions. The colligative property most identifiable with biological consequences is osmotic pressure. The term dissociation, as it is used pertaining to ions, should not be confused with dissociation of particles from a larger solid, as part of the dissolution process.

Solvent molecules from the solution are pushed into the pure solvent. Remember, the boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. Example 9 Determination of a Molar Mass from Osmotic Pressure A 0. Since the rate of condensation is unaffected by the presence of solute, the net result is that the vaporization-condensation equilibrium is achieved with fewer solvent molecules in the vapor phase i. These observations suggest that the ions of sodium chloride and other strong electrolytes are not completely dissociated in solution.

How to share HomeKit access with other people, guests, or housemates
After almost two years of development and behind-the-scenes work from manufacturers, Apple's HomeKit framework is at last starting to pick up some steam: You can buy lights, thermostats, smart locks, door sensors, and more for your home that are HomeKit-compatible. Once you start to outfit your home with futuristic devices, however, it's likely you'll want to give your fellow housemates access. (I mean, unless you want to be pestered every time they need the lights turned on or off.) Here's how to go about doing that.
How HomeKit and multiple users works
By default, when you first create a HomeKit house, it's tied to your Apple ID. No one else can manage that HomeKit house except for you (or people with access to your account), for security reasons. You can even create multiple homes in this manner if you have them to manage (say a vacation home with Hue lights, for example).
But you don't have to be the only one with Siri control over your house—you can grant accessories access to anyone with an Apple ID. You just have to add them to HomeKit first.
You can belong to multiple HomeKit houses in this manner: You might have management control over House A (your own house) and House B (a vacation home), and have accessories access to House C (your parents' house) and House D (your sibling's house).
How to add another person to your HomeKit house
Adding a current member of your household or guest is as simple as knowing their Apple ID and having them accept a banner prompt. Here's how to go about doing it. Note: You'll need iOS 9 or later to begin this process, and need to have already set up a HomeKit house. (Haven't set up a HomeKit house yet? You can do that here: How to set up your HomeKit accessories.)
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down to the HomeKit option and select it.
3. Tap on your home.
4. Tap Invite People.
1. Enter the iCloud address of the person you wish to add to your home.
2. On their device, press the Accept button on the banner (or have them go to Settings > HomeKit if they miss the banner).
How to remove that person from your house
If your guest's tenure has ended, you're not going to want to give them indefinite access to your home. Here's how to remove someone's HomeKit access from your accessories.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down to the HomeKit option and select it.
3. Tap on your home.
1. Swipe left on the person's name.
2. Tap Delete.
How to control a HomeKit guest house
As a guest user, you have almost all the HomeKit controls of an administrator: You can request light changes or thermostat readings from Siri, view the house in an app like Elgato's Eve (opens in new tab) or Home, and change toggles and switches within it. Any rooms, zones, and scenes the home owner has set up will be available for you, though you won't have access to their triggers (time- or event-based scene actions).
You can't rename items or delete them from the house, however nor can you add new accessories or delete the house itself.
Can't add guests to HomeKit? Here's our fix
HomeKit is still in its infancy, and unfortunately that means bugs and errors. There's unfortunately no fool-proof way to fix them, but here's what I've found works with the two major issues I've seen with adding guests to HomeKit.
The first is the never-ending "Invited" status, even after your guest has accepted your HomeKit invite. Most times I've seen this situation, it ends up being a server delay, and the accepted invite will go through after a period of time. If you're getting impatient, try deleting the invite and re-inviting them; if that doesn't work, logging out and back in to iCloud seems to solve most issues.
The second problem—the invite never showing up on the recipient's device—is usually one of two reasons: Either there's a typo in the invite address, or wires got crossed in the mysterious vapor that is iCloud and the invite's just not showing up. Like the first problem, deleting and re-inviting your guest solves the problem 90 percent of the time; if you're still not seeing results, try logging them out and back into iCloud.
Worst case, you'll need to reset your HomeKit configuration. Here's how to do that:

• HomeKit is one of the biggest pulls for me to switching to iPhone. It's certainly an ambitious undertaking, but it feels like Apple's not putting in as much effort into HomeKit as they could/I'd like them to.
• I havent figured it out how HomeKit handles multiple users. Can HomeKit identify wether I'm home and my wife is away and thus turn off the lights when I'm leaving. And leave the light on if my wife is still home..? Sent from the iMore App
• With an Ecobee thermostat, you could theoretically set up triggers on the motion sensors, but I wouldn't know for sure without testing. My best recommendation so far is just to give her guest access and let her turn on the lights when you're not home.
• I'd love to try this... But no way I'm letting Georgia or Anthony on my Siri-powered HomeKit network...
• Ok, figures it's worth a shot to try here since EVERY OTHER source including Apple can't help me. I actually called Apple , on more than one occasion, and repeatedly got the response from Apple tech's, " HomeKit, what's that?" . It happened so many times to me that I know always throw the wise ass comment in and say, " oh, I'm sorry, I was trying to contact Apple". Of course the next comment is, " this is Apple, how can I help" and I continue with, "apparently you can't " and hang up.
But anyway, I have close to 50 HomeKit devices all working perfectly and in sync. ( except ecobee3- never stays in my HomeKit network), but for the life of me, can't figure out why remote access doesn't work. And please, no basic, standard, or entry level support, like Apple TV , 3 gen, 7 or higher. All in place, even though I'm in 9.0.2 which should removed the need for the Apple TV, as well as having its own remote access feature within settings. YES ITS TURNED ON.
Idevices Connected is really the only TRUE HomeKit compatible app, with its iCloud and iCloud Drive integration, but I still can't access my Entire home remotely.
Whew, ( deep breath), any suggestions? Sent from the iMore App
• Ugh, so sorry to hear you're having trouble! I know certain Bluetooth-related devices (Elgato Eve) don't work reliably out of home, which may be part of the problem if you use any of them. For Wi-Fi-controlled devices, however, you should be able to use iOS 9's HAP controls to route. Have you tried staying in your house and turning Wi-Fi off (keeping LTE on) to see if outer networking is working at all? Worst-case, I might suggest resetting your HomeKit settings: http://www.imore.com/having-trouble-connecting-homekit-accessories-heres-fix Let me know if any of that helps! Unfortunately, HomeKit is still pretty complicated, and opaque to troubleshoot.
• Can guests only use one device or am I doing something wrong? On a guest iCloud account if I accept the invitation on an iPad, it'll only work with that iPad and if I do it on an iPhone then it'll only work with that. Is there any way to give gusts access across all their devices?
• It should give access to any device a guest's iCloud account is logged into.
• Okay so after spending some time troubleshooting I finally got HomeKit working on multiple guest devices. I first sent a second invitation using @me.com instead of iCloud.com and this works but I'm a little OCD with stuff like that and would rather have one invitation per person show up in my settings. I followed this by signing in and out of iCloud for both devices and I ended up with a bigger problem. The guest iPhone wasn't receiving HomeKit invites anymore but the iPad was. I was also getting a sync error on the iPhone's (3rd party) "Home" app so I decided to restore the iPhone. After doing that I still wasn't able to receive the HomeKit invite on the iPhone but I was no longer receiving the sync error. So I created a temporary home on it, invited the "owner" account, accepted it and then sent another guest invite to the guest iPhone and it finally showed up on both the iPhone and the iPad and after accepting it sync'd across both. I tried this on another iPad 2 that wasn't receiving invites. When I tried to create a home, I got the same sync error. I reset HomeKit config, the sync error went away and I did the same thing (invited the owner from the guest account and then the guest from the owner account. The iPad 2 doesn't have siri but the drop down option with the Home app make it a usable home kit controller. So if anyone is having a similar issue with guests just send an invite from a temp home the wrong way round and then send one the right way and it should work.
• I recently picked up the new Philips Hue HomeKit bridge and I seem to only be able to use Siri commands from the intial device I setup the bridge with (iPhone). When trying Siri commands from my other iOS devices, Siri is unable to find lights. Though guests can use Siri voice commands. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience ?
• That's very odd! I've been able to use it from multiple devices. You're sure they're logged in to your iCloud account?
• Hey Serenity, yes same iCloud account, I've tried two different iPads. I'll reset the bridge if you've got this working. Thanks
• I picked up my new bridge last week. I can use Siri just fine, but my girlfriend, who accepted my homekit invite, is unable to use Siri. Unable to find lights...
• I'm having a similar issue but with guest accounts. Guests can only use the devices they accept it on.
• It's good to know it's working for other people. That means it's worth troubleshooting and figuring it out. Thanks!
• So the key for me, when sending HomeKit invites for Siri Voice Control from the Hue App, using the new Hue Bridge 2.0, was to be sure to use the actual primary Apple ID account email of the device that the recipient uses to login to the iCloud account. You can't use any other associated iCloud email addresses you must use the primary iCloud email of the invitee.
• Hi all. When I send my wife an invite. She gets it and accepts it. Then it just shows invited on my phone and my wife's phone (Siri, iDevice app) does not recognize that she has access to a Homekit setup. I sent the invite 48 hours ago. Help!!!
• Can you check your wife's phone homekit settings in the settings app? Does it list more than one home? If so, you can remove the one that is not shared by you. We had the same problem and she had 2 homes listed with the same name. One shared by me and one automatically added by the Hue app (old one) when activating homekit from the Hue app.
• Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it looks like my wife only has the home that I created. Any other suggestions?
• HEY! Does my house need it's own iCloud account?! I think it does! Here's the deal. If I use my own iCloud account that means I leave my Apple TV (in the living room within Bluetooth range of devices I need it to have access to) logged in with my PERSONAL iCloud account, meaning any house guest has access to my photos and whatever else, which is NOT THE WORST thing to deal with but what if my girlfriend moves in (shut-up! it could happen) are we gonna fight over who has the main account? I think there's a good case to be had, to maintain separate iCloud accounts for the house and the owners' personal iCloud account(s). From that "iCloud House" account I could share access with my main account and through family sharing still access my iTunes library, etc. Good plan? Anyone else feel like this? Done this? Any unintended consequences to worry about? Thanks, this was a good read.
• I have set up an iCloud account for my house, so I can manage that separately from my personal iCloud account - as you have suggested above. I have also made this house account a member of our iCloud "family" for media sharing purposes.
Also, I have granted my wife and I (through our iCloud ID's) remote access AND editing privileges, using the Home app logged on under the house iCloud ID. All works well except for one thing - location based triggers in HomeKit seem to only work for the location of devices using the house iCloud account. Hopefully Apple allows multiple users to set up location triggers in a future release.
• 1) Is it normal for my Guest to not even see the 3rd Automation tab in the Home app? 2) There *should* be the ability to create an exception in the Automation, i.e. "Turn off lights UNLESS Guest is home" | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Phospholipid molecular species distributions of Candida isolates from the UK and Iran
David Drucker, A. Z. Mahmoudabadi, V. Boote, J. Verran, E. Johnson, David B. Drucker
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
Aims: Some species of Candida have been shown to differ with respect to their polar lipid fingerprints when analysed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS). The aims of this study were to contribute to the existing body of information by (i) examining representatives of species not previously examined and (ii) seeking strains differences associated with country of origin (UK or Iran). Methods and Results: FABMS analysis was performed on extracted lipids of 22 strains representing eight species of Candida. The most abundant anion (19 isolates) in spectra was with mass to charge (m/z) 281, corresponding to C18:1 carboxylate. The major phospholipid analogue anions were m/ z 515 and 501 (13 strains). These anions were putatively identified as the phosphatidyl molecular species PA(23 : 2) and PA(22: 2) respectively. Data for strain pairs were compared using the Pearson's coefficient of linear correlation. The values generated were used to cluster strains by nearest-neighbour linkage, using both carboxylate and phospholipid analogue anion data. Isolates of C. parapsilosis were clearly distinct from other isolates. Iranian isolates tended to cluster together when phospholipid anion data were used. However, if carboxylate anion data were used, four Iranian isolates of C. albicans were tightly clustered with three UK isolates, of which two were C. albicans and one was C. dubliniensis. Conclusion: It is concluded that both lower, and higher, mass peaks in FABMS spectra can be of potential value in comparing Candida isolates from different countries and from different species. Significance and Impact of the Study: When polar lipids of different Candida species are compared, it is important to bear in mind that geographical differences affect results as has been observed with bacteria in similar studies.

Drop Buffon's Needle on the floor a thousand times and estimate pi
Shared by
Coleman Harris
Biostatistics
Vanderbilt University
Philosophers and researchers have long searched for estimates of pi, from approximations using the golden ratio to the famous fraction 22/7. One such estimate was accidentally discovered by French mathematician Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon – Buffon for short. He asked a simple question: Suppose a needle of a particular length is dropped onto a wooden floor with evenly spaced boards of the same width. What is the chance that the needle crosses a crack between the boards?
wood boards
A needle in a pi-stack
Tim Mossholder
The angle of the needle determines how likely it is to have crossed the crack: with a smaller angle between the needle and the cracks, it is easier for the needle to land without crossing one. So, the solution to the “Needle Problem” relates the sine function to the needle’s angle, drawing a curve where the needle will always cross the crack. The area under this curve is compared to the rest of the area the needle could have landed, estimating the chance the needle crossed a crack. The resulting ratio relates the length of the needle, the distance between the needle and the crack, and pi – a simple shuffling of variables yields an estimate of pi.
Now, if you were to drop a needle on a wooden floor yourself, it would take you thousands of attempts before you could reasonably calculate pi. That's because the ratio mentioned above is in the case of infinite attempts – in the real world, we are limited to the number of times we can drop a needle. Researchers at the University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign developed a simulation to virtually drop needles and estimate pi. On this Pi Day, try it out to see how close you can get to pi using Buffon’s Needle. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Abstract:
Sleep is a state of mind and body that occurs in all animals and is regulated by sleep-wake homeostasis (Process S) and the circadian process (Process C). Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is characterized by high amplitude, low frequency cortical activity known as slow wave activity (SWA, 0.5-4.5 Hz) measured by electroencephalography (EEG). During NREM sleep thalamocortical projections become hyperpolarized, driving periods of highly synchronized activity in cortical neurons and giving rise to SWA. SWA is currently the best indirect metric for endogenous sleep pressure or “sleepiness” and thus the activity of Process S. Recent evidence suggests that two waveforms within SWA, slow oscillations (SOs) and delta waves (DWs), have distinct roles in memory consolidation, a sleep-dependent process (Kim et al., 2019); however, how these waveforms are affected by sleep pressure is unknown. We hypothesize that SOs during NREM (NREM SOs) may be a useful indicator of sleep pressure. Wildtype mice were implanted with EEG and electromyogram (EMG) recording electrodes (together “polysomnography”) to record periods of normal/undisturbed sleep pressure (baseline sleep) and artificially increased sleep pressure during 6 hours of acute sleep deprivation and the subsequent 18-hour recovery period. We found that NREM SOs and DWs occurred at significantly different numbers during the inactive phase but not during the active phase. Furthermore, we observed significant, unequal effects of acute sleep deprivation on NREM SOs and DWs during the recovery period. These findings suggest these waveforms may arise from separate physiological or behavioral contexts and warrant further investigation. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

What is a Dropper Bottle Used For?
Issue Time:2021-03-20
A dropper bottle is a small bottle used to drip a solvent on a lens that has some tissue for experimental purpose. It consists of a rubber bulb and a glass dropper. A dropper bottle has many sizes to suit different uses.
Dropper bottles are bottles that have a rubber bulb and plastic dropper. They are used to drop liquid solvents usually onto lens tissue found in the eye. Plastic dropper bottles are available in a selection of sizes, shapes and colors hence it is advisable to find a plastic dropper bottle that fits your essential needs.
The ever so popular, dropper application bottle with reducer. These are the standard essential oils bottles found on the market today and have become a priceless container for their valued “drop by drop” reducer. Each bottle comes with an accompanying white cap and reducer, which is fitted within the top of the bottle.
Liquid dropper bottles is plastic or glass round container with squirt bulb rubber cap, which is a translucent plastic or glass barrel combine to make a dropper. The dropper is marked or no marking. Dropper Bottles are generally used for dispensing a small amount of liquid and are ideal for oral, ear, eye, and hair applications. Dropper Bottles are also used for packing aromatherapy oils and other health products, such as cooking oil or shampoo. Some liquid dropper bottles have a lift up squirt tab to dispense liquids in small, controlled amounts reusable container is environmentally-friendly. Compact size is ideal for backpacking, camping or travel.
Usually, amber bottles with black phenolic screw caps or with plastic pipette droppers widely use for storing and drop liquid medicament. These bottles are opaque to prevent the reaction of solutions with UV light resulting from sun exposure, which can reduce the efficacy.
Use this pipette plastic dropper, with a rubber squeeze bulb to drop small amounts of liquid wherever you think they should go.
Steps of Using Liquid Dropper Bottles:
Pinch the bulb rubber and put it into the bottles.
Loose the bulb rubber, then liquid material is imbibed in the pipette.
Take out the rubber with the pipette from bottles, when liquid material in the pipette reaches you need amounts.
Second Pinch the bulb rubber to drop liquid material where you want.
Please be aware that drop sizes for any bottle are going to be dependent upon two factors: the viscosity of the fluid being dispensed and the design of the dropper tip.

Henry the Navigator was the Prince of Portugal and son of King John I. He was born in 1394 and was 21 when his father and brothers were captured in a port in Morocco, by pirates. Even though they were set free by the pirates and returned to Portugal, Henry decided that he wanted to stop the pirate attacks on the Coast of west Africa. He also decided that he would find the source of the west African gold trade.
He opened a navigation school, which grew quite rapidly, and became one of the most known schools in all of Portugal. It also required him to design new lighter ships for the Portuguese explorers. Although he had a significant role in helping with the explorations, he never went on a mission himself. However, he still sent over 50 explorations. One important step that he did not do, was to map out the routes. Instead, he just let the captains of the missions figure out a way to get to their destinations. Two significant contributions he made repeatedly were to raise the funds and direct the voyages. Henry’s captains had several great finds and even started a few colonies in Africa. He died in 1460, although the work he had began continued long after his death. So therefore, in the end, his life accomplishments included starting multiple civilizations, and was very helpful to the king of Portugal.
The Treaty of Tordesillas was a peace agreement between Spain and Portugal that was a long-standing agreement over where colonies could be placed. After the New World was discovered, they established a new treaty to incorporate this territory. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 redrew the imaginary line that divided the Portuguese colonies from Spanish colonies. The line went North-South, straight through the Atlantic Ocean, and all the way around the earth separating the Americas and the other continents. Portugal got the Americas, while Spain got all of the other continents. Therefore, Spain’s potential colony area was massive compared to Portugal’s, after the treaty. At a time, in the treaty, Portugal tried to expand their territory, especially around Brazil, and Spain did little to keep them out. In the end, The Treaty of Tordesillas was an important help for Spain.

Why Evofem Biosciences Is Soaring Today
What happened
In response to its posting positive results from a midstage clinical trial, shares of Evofem Biosciences (NASDAQ: EVFM), a clinical-stage biotech focused on women's sexual and reproductive health, had risen 13% as of 11:27 a.m. EST on Monday.
So what
Evofem reported top-line results from its phase 2b AMPREVENCE trial, which was designed to test the efficacy and safety of its lead product candidate Amphora as a preventive treatment for urogenital chlamydia and gonorrhea in women.
Here are the key takeaways from the four-month study release:
The trial met both its primary and secondary endpoints.
The infection rate of chlamydia among women who used Amphora was 4.9%. That was 50% less than the 9.8% among women who took the placebo. The p-value was 0.024, so the results were statistically significant.
The infection rate of gonorrhea was 0.7% in the Amphora arm, 78% lower than the 3.2% observed in the placebo arm group. The p-value was 0.03, which is also low enough to be considered statistically significant.
The number of adverse events was 7.2% for patients who used Amphora and 7.5% for the placebo group. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported.
Image source: Getty Images.
Given the upbeat results, it's easy to understand why shares are flying high today.
Now what
Saundra Pelletier, Evofem's CEO, stated: "In less than one week, we have achieved two major milestones that have the potential to meaningfully impact the sexual and reproductive health of millions of women. In addition to resubmitting our New Drug Application to the U.S. FDA for Amphora for prevention of pregnancy, we also now have statistically significant evidence that Amphora can prevent acquisition of chlamydia and gonorrhea among women, two bacterial infections that are increasing at an alarming annual rate in the U.S."
The Centers for Disease Control estimate that almost 2.4 million cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea were diagnosed in 2018. What's more, gonorrhea is increasingly becoming antibiotic-resistant, so new treatment options are desperately needed.
If Amphora can go on to win FDA approval, it will likely be a top-selling drug. Evofem expects to submit the full results from the trial for presentation at an upcoming scientific meeting. The data will also be used to request an end-of-phase 2 meeting with the FDA.

Challenges and Future Directions in Vestibular Physiotherapy: A Global Perspective
HealthChallenges and Future Directions in Vestibular Physiotherapy: A Global Perspective
Vestibular physiotherapy, a specialized field focusing on balance and dizziness disorders, faces unique challenges and is poised for significant advancements in the coming years. This discipline, including practices in locations like Spruce Grove at Sunrise Physical Therapy, is critical in improving the quality of life for individuals with vestibular disorders. This post explores the current challenges and future directions of vestibular physiotherapy from a global perspective.
Current State of Vestibular Physiotherapy
Vestibular disorders, often characterized by dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues, can severely impact daily functioning. Vestibular physiotherapy addresses these symptoms through specialized exercises and rehabilitation techniques. Currently, clinics providing vestibular physiotherapy Spruce Grove are offering tailored treatment plans to help patients regain balance and reduce dizziness.
Challenges in Vestibular Physiotherapy
• Awareness and Accessibility: One of the primary challenges is the lack of awareness about vestibular disorders and the benefits of vestibular physiotherapy. Many patients suffer for years without proper diagnosis or treatment.
• Standardization of Treatment Protocols: There is a need for more standardized treatment protocols across different regions, ensuring consistent and effective care for patients globally.
• Research and Evidence-Based Practice: The field requires more robust research to validate further and refine treatment methods, making them more evidence-based.
• Training and Specialization: There is a gap in specialized training for physiotherapists in the field of vestibular rehabilitation, limiting the availability of expert care.
Advancements in Diagnosis and Treatment
Recent technological developments have markedly enhanced the way vestibular disorders are diagnosed and treated. Innovative diagnostic equipment enables more precise evaluations, which in turn contribute to the formulation of more effective therapy strategies.
1. Virtual Reality (VR) in Vestibular Rehabilitation
Virtual Reality (VR) offers immersive environments that simulate real-life scenarios, helping patients safely practice balance and coordination exercises. VR allows for controlled exposure to stimuli that trigger vestibular symptoms, enabling gradual desensitization and symptom management. This technology also provides real-time feedback, making rehabilitation engaging and measurable.
2. Computerized Dynamic Posturography
Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) is an advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tool used in Vestibular physiotherapy Spruce Grove. It assesses a patient’s ability to maintain balance under various controlled conditions, offering precise data on balance impairments. CDP is also used for customized rehabilitation, providing specific exercises that target the identified deficits in balance and stability.
3. Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) Training
Advanced Vestibular Ocular Reflex (VOR) training techniques are crucial in vestibular rehabilitation. VOR exercises are designed to improve the stability of vision during head movements, a common issue in vestibular disorders. Techniques such as gaze stabilization exercises are used, which can be progressively made more challenging to adapt to the patient’s improving condition.
4. Infrared Video Nystagmography
Infrared Video Nystagmography is a sophisticated diagnostic tool used to analyze eye movements, which are critical in diagnosing vestibular disorders. This technology tracks eye movements in response to various stimuli, helping to pinpoint specific vestibular deficits. The results from this analysis inform the development of targeted rehabilitation programs.
5. Biofeedback Mechanisms
Biofeedback mechanisms are increasingly being incorporated into vestibular physiotherapy. These tools provide patients with real-time feedback on their balance and posture, allowing them to adjust their movements for better stability. Biofeedback is particularly effective in retraining balance and proprioception, essential components in managing vestibular disorders.
6. Integrative Sensorimotor Training
Integrative sensorimotor training combines various sensory inputs and motor tasks to enhance vestibular rehabilitation. This approach involves exercises that integrate visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular stimuli to improve balance and coordination. It is particularly useful in retraining the brain to process and respond to sensory information related to balance correctly.
The Role of Multidisciplinary Approach
The management of vestibular disorders often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving audiologists, neurologists, and physiotherapists. This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive care, addressing all aspects of the patient’s condition. Establishing stronger multidisciplinary networks is essential for the advancement of vestibular physiotherapy.
Patient Education and Self-Management
Empowering patients through education about their condition and self-management strategies is crucial. By understanding their condition better, patients can manage their symptoms more effectively and play an active role in their recovery process. Increased patient education also helps in reducing the stigma and misconceptions associated with vestibular disorders.
Global Disparities in Vestibular Rehabilitation
There are significant disparities in the availability and quality of vestibular rehabilitation services globally. Developing countries face challenges such as limited resources, lack of trained professionals, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure. Bridging this gap is essential to provide equitable care for vestibular disorder patients worldwide.
Future Directions in Vestibular Physiotherapy
The future of vestibular physiotherapy is geared towards more personalized treatments, leveraging advancements in technology and research. Tele-rehabilitation is gaining traction as a valuable resource, especially in regions where access to specialized care is limited. Moreover, continuous research and global partnerships are poised to foster further innovations and enhance therapeutic results.
Navigating the Path Ahead
Vestibular physiotherapy, including the work done at Sunrise Physical Therapy Spruce Grove, is at a pivotal juncture. Confronting present challenges and adopting forthcoming trends, such as amplified research, the integration of technology, and worldwide cooperation, are crucial for the progression of this field. As vestibular physiotherapy advances, it offers the potential to significantly better the lives of those suffering from vestibular disorders, both in local communities and around the world.

Balancing spectral efficiency, energy consumption, and fairness in future heterogeneous wireless systems with reconfigurable devices

Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach to managing resources in a large-scale heterogeneous wireless network that supports reconfigurable devices. The system under study embodies internetworking concepts requiring independent wireless networks to cooperate in order to provide a unified network to users. We propose a multi-attribute scheduling algorithm implemented by a central Global Resource Controller (GRC) that manages the resources of several different autonomous wireless systems. The attributes considered by the multi-attribute optimization function consist of system spectral efficiency, battery lifetime of each user (or overall energy consumption), and instantaneous and long-term fairness for each user in the system. To compute the relative importance of each attribute, we use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) that takes interview responses from wireless network providers as input and generates weight assignments for each attribute in our optimization problem. Through Matlab/CPLEX based simulations, we show an increase in a multi-attribute system utility measure of up to 57% for our algorithm compared to other widely studied resource allocation algorithms including Max-Sum Rate, Proportional Fair, Max-Min Fair and Min Power. © 1983-2012 IEEE.

statements, ordered us to march as prisoners to the camp, first to pay fines of £5, and then to take out our licenses. Expostulation was vain; promises were sneered at; nothing short of £20, that is £5 each, could procure our liberation; so off we marched in the worst of humour. The first mandarin before whom we were brought, took the cue from the captors, pretending to laugh at 'our ruse,' assuming at the same time an air of menace, in which he hinted at locking up in default; but on my asking 'if one of his brother-commissioners, to whom I had a letter of introduction from a certain person in authority at head-quarters, was in the camp,' the matter assumed another complexion. The other commissioner soon arrived, and, glancing at the signature, he grasped my hand and shook it almost to dislocation; but, had I not had the letter, the consequences would have been both expensive and disagreeable. Reflecting on this, I began for the first time to think that the diggers' outcry against official tyranny and exaction was not altogether a baseless grievance. I could well imagine the state of feeling likely to be generated by a persistence in such a system of arbitrary persecution, and I was not surprised when it reached its climax soon afterwards."
These are only samples of the intolerable wrongs the mining population was compelled to endure at the hands of an irresponsible régime, and when it is added that the diggers were not permitted to cultivate the smallest portion of land for the maintenance of themselves and their families, it may be supposed that they would have been more than human if they had remained quiet under such grievous oppression.

Now that we’ve successfully built an entire authentication system, let’s dive into the actual purpose of this goofy app: letting people add artists and albums to their profile, thus generating a list … of music. Seems like a good thing to be able to do on an app called MusicList, right?
We’re going to be using a service called Discogs for our music data. It’s a massive, user-driven DB with more than nine million recordings and five million artists. If you have it in your collection, there’s a pretty good chance it’s in the Discogs database.
First thing we’ll need is an account. Well, technically we don’t even need that to access the database, but since it’s free and it lets us make more requests, let’s go ahead and create one. Head for http://discogs.com and click the green “register” button in the upper right. You’ll be taken to a straightforward form that’ll allow you to create an account. Fill it in, then testify that you’re not a robot (if you are a robot, my apologies for this discriminatory form. If your programming allows it, just go ahead and lie). Make sure you use a real email address that you control, because you’ll need to click a verification link.
Once you’re done, head for your email, wait for the link to show up, and then click it. This will verify your account and take you to your dashboard, which is going to be pretty sparse. If you poke around, you’ll see that not only does the site allow you to look up music data, but you can also store stuff. Basically, what it comes down to is: we could handle pretty much all of the MusicList functionality on the Discogs server … but what fun is that? We’re going store the albums and artists our users add on our server.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “API” or just head for https://www.discogs.com/developers/ and you’ll see some basic info on getting started, along with a left-hand menu that shows all the cool stuff you can do with their API. You may notice they have a Node.js client available. That’ll come in handy shortly.
The Discogs API has a request limiter on it, meaning you’re only going to be able to make 60 requests per minute. This wouldn’t work for a high-usage production application, obviously, but for us it’ll be fine. If we were planning on building such an application, what we’d have to do is start mirroring the Discogs DB on our own server and querying it locally (and then downloading their updates as they come in). That’s a can of worms roughly the size of Jupiter that I’m not going to tackle in this tutorial series, because I really don’t think any of us want to see “Five Minute React Episode 460”. We’re going to stick to pulling data from their servers on a per-request basis.
For now, you need an API key for your app, so click the “Create an App” option in the header menu. You could just generate a personal use token here, but creating an app allows you more requests, so click that button, and you’ll be taken to a form with four fields, only the first two of which are required. For Application Name, I’d go with something like “MusicList-yourusername” or similar. I don’t think it’s actually an issue for there to be multiple apps named MusicList stored on Discogs, but it’s not a bad idea to differentiate it in case you’re ever trying to find your app in a list. For the description, I went with this:
A simple web application that allows users to save their favorite bands and albums.
Don’t worry about the other two fields. Just go ahead and create the application. Once you do, you’ll be given a consumer key and secret, and some URLs that will allow you to make requests. Awesome! Let’s get some of this info into our app config. Flip over to Sublime Text and open /config.json. Below line 4, add a new section for Discogs, like this (obviously, use your own data here instead of this sample data):
"discogs": {
"key": "HJYbPXSTxoqAlbMRneAp",
"secret": "OAcURQBaneVjufVpzXjkexMriSPaNHGL"
},
Save that file and open up /config.js. Under line 7, export our new block like this:
exports.discogs = parsed.discogs;
Save that file, and switch to a command prompt or terminal window. In your musiclist directory, type:
yarn add disconnect
Let it run, and you’re good to go here. I recommend restarting your server just to be safe. Then switch back to Sublime, and let’s … well, we could start with a bunch of stuff, here, but let’s go with creating an Album model which we’ll use to save albums to the DB. We don’t actually have to do this, since as mentioned we could just always use Discog’s API, but storing stuff on our own DB is a) generally faster than hitting an external API and b) a good way to stay below that 60-requests-per-minute cap.
The Discogs’ API spits out an absolute S#!^-ton of data. More than we need for our simple app. By using a model, we can pick and choose what to store. Mongoose will ignore anything that doesn’t fit into the model. So, create a new file in /models named album.js and add the following code:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const Album = new Schema({
title: String,
discogId: Number,
artists: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
thumb: String,
country: String,
formats: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
genres: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
images: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
labels: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
notes: String,
released: String,
styles: [String],
tracklist: [Schema.Types.Mixed],
year: Number,
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Album', Album);
That’s still plenty of info, and we may not even end up displaying all of it, but it’ll be good to have.
Oh, and by the way, those Schema types in square braces? That means “an array full of this type of stuff” (and mixed means “basically anything” which includes objects). So for example images is going to be an array full of objects with a bunch of image information in them. styles is going to be an array of strings.
Save the file, and that seems like a good place to wrap things up. In the next tutorial, we’ll modify our User model so it can save lists of albums, and then start building out the API endpoints we need to search albums, display results, and let users save them to their profiles. Stay tuned!

3494 Purple Mountain is a small asteroid in the asteroid belt. It is not purple; its unusual name comes from the Purple Mountain Observatory in China, where it was rediscovered in 1980. (It had been seen but lost several times since 1962. See lost asteroids.)
Purple Mountain is a vestoid, a fragment blasted off the giant asteroid 4 Vesta by the impact that formed the Vestian collisional family. A spectroscopic analysis showed it to have a composition very similar to the cumulate eucrite meteorites[1]. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

adequate and independent history of the Greek and Eastern Churches would begin with the origin of Christianity, and trace from its commencement the development of the faith, which arose in the East and flourished for a considerable time most conspicuously in Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and Egypt. But since two previous volumes of this Series have been devoted to the earlier periods of General Church History, the present writer is relieved from the necessity of treating the first three centuries with any fulness of detail. Here the only requisite will be to take a rapid survey of the story viewed from the standpoint of the East, remembering that for our present purpose the centre of gravity is at Antioch, Ephesus, or Alexandria, rather than at Rome or Carthage. When, however, we come to the fourth century the scale of proportion must be reversed, and subjects which the exigencies of space only permitted to be discussed with comparative brevity in the volume on The Ancient Catholic Church will now demand a somewhat more extensive exposition. The age of the great Fathers, with its essentially Oriental controversies on the doctrines of the Trinity and the Person of Christ, is by far the most important epoch in the whole history | WIKI |
Polish refiner PKN Orlen to invest in offshore wind power in 2024
PLOCK, Poland (Reuters) - Poland’s biggest oil refiner, state-run PKN Orlen, plans to start investment in offshore wind farms in 2024, Chief Executive Daniel Obajtek said on Wednesday. “We are at the stage of carrying out environmental studies and wind tests ... By 2024 we should have finished the preparatory stage. We plan to start investment in 2024,” he told reporters. Obajtek also said that it is on track with plans to acquire fellow Polish refiner Grupa Lotos and that he expects the deal to close at the end of 2019.

Rh ordered that all future Scottish mantlings should be depicted in the livery colours of the arms, but in Scotland the mantlings, though now following the livery colours, are still included in the terms of the grant, and thereby stereotyped. In England, in an official "exemplification" at the present day of an ancient coat of arms (e.g. in an exemplification following the assumption of name and arms by Royal License), the mantling is painted in the livery colours, irrespective of any ancient patent in which "gules and argent" may have been granted as the colour of the mantling. Though probably most people will agree as to the expediency of such a practice, it is at any rate open to criticism on the score of propriety, unless the new mantling is expressed in terms in the new patent. This would of course amount to a grant overriding the earlier one, and would do all that was necessary; but failing this, there appears to be a distinct hiatus in the continuity of authority.
Ermine linings to the mantling were soon denied to the undistinguished commoner, and with the exception of the early Garter plates, it would be difficult to point to an instance of their use. The mantlings of peers, however, continued to be lined with ermine, and English instances under official sanction can be found in the Visitation Books and in the Garter plates until a comparatively recent period. In fact the relegation of peers to the ordinary livery colours for their mantlings is, in England, quite a modern practice. In Scotland, however, the mantlings of peers have always been lined with ermine, and the present Lyon continues this whilst usually making the colours of the outside of the mantlings agree with the principal colour of the arms. This, as regards the outer colour of the mantling, is not a fixed or stereotyped rule, and in some cases Lyon has preferred to adopt a mantling of gules lined with ermine as more comformable to a peer's Parliamentary Robe of Estate.
In the Deputy Earl-Marshal's warrant referred to on page 375 are some interesting points as to the mantling. It is recited that "some persons under ye degree of ye Nobilitie of this Realme doe cause Ermins to be Depicted upon ye Lineings of those Mantles which are used with their Armes, and also that there are some that have lately caused the Mantles of their Armes to be painted like Ostrich feathers as tho' they were of some peculiar and superior degree of Honor," and the warrant commands that these points are to be rectified.
The Royal mantling is of cloth of gold. In the case of the sovereign and the Prince of Wales it is lined with ermine, and for other members of the Royal Family it is lined with argent. Queen Elizabeth was the first sovereign to adopt the golden mantling, the Royal tinctures before that date (for the mantling) being gules lined ermine. The mantling of or and ermine has, of course, since that date been rigidly denied to | WIKI |

Java Question
ConcurrentHashMap JDK 8 when to use computeIfPresent
The new version of Concurrent Hash Map of jdk 8 has two new Methods.
computeIfAbsent
computeIfPresent
putIfAbsent - Old method
I understand the use cases of putIfAbsent and computeIfAbsent.
But i am not sure of the scenarios when i will use computeIfPresent.
Also why do i need putIfAbsent if i have computeIfPresent now.
putIfAbsent do create atleast one extra instance of the value.
Is the reason is only to have backward compatability?
Answer
As mentioned in the other answer: Methods will always be kept for backward compatibility, even if there are new, more "powerful" methods introduced.
Concerning the use case for computeIfPresent: It may be hard to find an example that is small enough to not look contrived and still be convincing. In general, the intention of this method is to update an existing value in any form.
One example could be a (constrained) word count: For a given set of words, one stores an initial count of 0 in the map. Then, a sequence of words is processed: Whenever one finds a word from the initial set, its count is increased by 1:
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class ComputeIfPresentExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Map<String, Integer> wordCounts = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
String s =
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consetetur iam nonumy sadipscing " +
"elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut erat sed " +
"labore et dolore magna dolor sit amet aliquyam erat sed diam";
wordCounts.put("sed", 0);
wordCounts.put("erat", 0);
for (String t : s.split(" "))
{
wordCounts.computeIfPresent(t, (k,v) -> v+1);
}
System.out.println(wordCounts);
}
}
(Of course, things like this could be solved differently, but this is a rather frequent task in one or the other form, and the new method allows a rather concise and elegant solution) | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
User:Wagsolv/Alexandra Levasseur
Early life and education
Alexandra Levasseur is a Quebecois Canadian painter, filmmaker, and sculptor. She was born and raised in Shawinigan, Québec, Canada in 1982, and after extensive art education abroad returned to Québec to study film and set a base for her career.
Levasseur got a B.A. in Fine Arts and Graphic Design in 2006 at the University of Costa Rica, then moved to Barcelona where she studied Illustration and Techniques of Visual Communications at EINA School of Art and Design, graduating in 2008. In 2012 she began studying Animation Film at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema at Concordia University in Montreal. Her work has been featured in numerous galleries, magazines, and books.
Levasseur’s style takes after Surrealism, predominantly utilizing the human figure and landscape to create art about gender, femininity, and the relationship between humans and nature. As of late she has been combining sculpture and painting to create mixed-media art.
Career
Alexandra Levasseur began participating in art fairs and group fairs in 2008, during her studies in Barcelona. (her website) After returning to Canada, she won two scholarships from Concordia University in 2013 and 2014. In 2013 she was also invited by SHOWStudio London to collaborate during Fashion Week in Milan, for which she drew drawings of the various fashion shows. (Artsy) All this was prior to her graduation from Concordia University.
Her work has been exhibited in galleries around the world, and interviews with her have been published in numerous magazines, books, and websites. (Artsy) As of 2021, her most recent exhibitions have been shown at the Montréal Galerie C.O.A.. (her website)
Levasseur was awarded a grant from the Canada Council of Arts in 2017 and won a Prix Spira at the Fantasia Festival in 2018 for her film La singularité. (her website)
Themes in art
Levasseur’s style takes after Surrealism, predominantly utilizing the human figure and landscape to create art that explores philosophical questions about the meaning of existence and all things being connected. The spirituality of returning to nature, understanding biology, and connecting the feminine to nature, informs the majority of Levasseur’s work. Her female figures, according to Minus 37, “often submerged in water, a symbol of emotions and receptiveness of the feminine principle, represent the beauty of Mother Nature.” They often appear lonely, puzzled, and contemplative, as if not truly present in their surroundings (the two being artificially collaged together could be a visual metaphor) but intrinsically part of a natural cycle that they cannot fully comprehend.
She has in the past used collage rather than sketching to plan her art pieces, resulting in paintings that often resemble mixed media collages, it is unclear whether she continues to use this process for her more recent work. As of late she has been combining sculpture and painting to create mixed-media art.

Rh messages were so mutilated as to be indecipherable. These complaints led to a declaration by the Foreign Office on Dec. 20 1915, that in future incoming press cablegrams would not be censored from a political point of view; the responsibility of pub- lishing would be with the editors who knew that a prosecution against them, under the Defence of the Realm Act, might result from the publication of anything endangering the good relations between Great Britain and the Allies or the Neutrals. This change, however, only applied to censorship by the Foreign Office, and messages were still liable to censorship from the point of view of other departments (Admiralty, War Office, Home Office or Treasury, for instance) consulted by the Press Bureau a system which continued until 1919.
Censorship at the Front. It remains to deal with the censor- ship of messages from authorized British correspondents on the several fronts. These were primarily (and compulsorily) censored by military censors on the field, but they all came through the Press Bureau, which occasionally exercised a super-censorship. The methods adopted caused constant grumbling and discontent.
The casualty lists were rigidly and, no doubt, properly sup- pressed, but owing to the representations of the Newspaper Proprietors' Association they were supplied periodically for the confidential information of editors.
In France, at the outset, no correspondents were allowed. In Sept. 1914, owing to demands by the Newspaper Proprietors' Association for more information, an official eye-witness, Gen. Swinton, was appointed. He wrote according to order, and no question of censorship arose. The news supplied was meagre and inappropriate, and it did not take long for mischievous results to accrue, and the official mind was at first disposed to blame the Press for what was wrong in the " publicity " of the moment. On March 12 1915, the following notice was issued by the Press Bureau, warning the newspapers that they were too optimistic in the pictures they gave of what was happening:
" The magnitude of the British task in this great war runs serious risk of being overlooked by reason of exaggerated accounts of suc- cesses printed daily in the Press and especially by exhibiting posters framed to catch the eye and magnify comparatively unimportant actions into great victories. Reported reverses to the enemy are proclaimed as crushing defeats, Germany is represented as within measurable distance of starvation, bankruptcy and revolution, and only yesterday a poster was issued in London, declaring that half the Hungarian army had been annihilated.
" All sense of just proportion is thus lost, and, with these daily, and often hourly, statements of great Allied gains and immense enemy losses, the public can have no true appreciation of the facts or of the gigantic task and heavy sacrifices before them.
" The Director appeals to all those who are responsible for the Press to use their influence to bring about a better knowledge of the real situation, and rather to emphasize the efforts that will be necessary before the country can afford to regard the end for which we are striving as anything like assured. The posters, more espe- cially those of the evening papers, are very often preposterous as well as misleading, and, at such a time, those responsible may fairly be asked to exercise a reasonable restraint and help the nation to a just appreciation of the task it has undertaken and the necessity for unremitting effort to secure the only end that can be accepted."
The newspapers did not take this notice " lying down." On March 26 the Newspaper Proprietors' Association, through its chairman Sir George (afterwards Lord) Riddell, sent the following letter to the Press Bureau, and copies to the Prime Minister, Mr. Winston Churchill, Lord Kitchener and other members of the Cabinet :
"My Council have had under consideration your Memorandum of I2th March, 1915, Serial No. D. 183, for which, in their opinion, there is no adequate justification. The Press has dealt faithfully with the news furnished by the naval and military authorities, but it may well be that the public misunderstand the situation and that this misconception is producing serious results. If, however, the people are being unduly soothed and elated the responsibility lies with the Government and not with the Press. In this connection my Council desire to direct your attention to the optimistic state- ments of the Prime Minister, Sir John French, ' Eye- Witness,' and other persons possessing official information. The Press acts upon the news supplied. If this is inaccurate or incomplete, the Govern- ment cannot blame the newspapers. My Council desire to repre- sent that the methods now being adopted are fraught with grave public danger. Ministers are continually referring to the importance
of energy and self-sacrifice on the part of the industrial population, who cannot be expected to display these qualities unless, generally speaking, they are acquainted with the facts. In dealing with the news, the Naval and Military authorities should consider not only our enemies and the army in the field, but the commercial and industrial classes at home, upon whom so much depends. It is futile to endeavour to disregard the long-established habits and customs of the people.
"As you know, I am writing on behalf of the London Press only, but my Council are confident that their views are shared by the provincial newspapers."
The result of this letter was that Mr. Asquith invited the Association to lay their views before him at a deputation. A free exchange of views took place, with the result that Mr. As- quith invited the Press to appoint a representative who would interview Lord Kitchener and Mr. Churchill each week with the object of putting questions to them and receiving private in- formation for circulation to editors. Lord Riddell was detailed for the duty, and had frequent interviews with Lord Kitchener.
As a result of further urgent representations by the Association, represented by Lord Burnham, Lord Northcliffe and Sir George Riddell, the following correspondents were authorized in May 1915 Mr. John Buchan (Times and Daily News), Mr. Percival Landon (Daily Telegraph and Daily Chronicle), Mr. (after- wards Sir) Percival Phillips (Morning Post and Daily Express), Mr. Valentine Williams (Daily Mail and Standard), Mr. Douglas Williams (Reuters). Mr. John Buchan was succeeded by Mr. (afterwards Sir) Perry Robinson, Mr. Percival Landon by Mr. (afterwards Sir) Philip Gibbs, and Mr. Valentine Williams by Mr. (afterwards Sir) Beach Thomas. Mr. Douglas Williams was succeeded by Mr. Lester Lawrence and Mr. (afterwards Sir) Herbert Rundell.
At the beginning, the regulations for the guidance of corre- spondents were as follows, but for the most part they were allowed to write as they wished.
"Unless officially communicated for publication," the under- mentioned matters were not to be referred to : Strength, composition and location of forces. Movement of troops and operations. State of supply and transport. Casualties. Important orders.
Criticisms and eulogies of a personal nature. Moral of troops.
Before long, however, the regulations were rigidly enforced, and an attempt was subsequently made to strengthen them. A fresh set of rules was promulgated at G.H.Q. in Nov. 1915. They took this form:
(1) Current events must not be mentioned in detail until the events have been made public in the commander-in-chief's des- patches.
(2) Only general mention of the fighting can be made. Nothing outside the official communiques is to be touched upon.
(3) Matters of controversial or political interest must be excluded.
(4) Praise or censure is to be left to the commander-in-chief.
(5) Mention of any information by name is prohibited, including such items as the New Army, Territorials, etc., also names of units or individuals.
(6) The articles of war correspondents must be confined to topographical descriptions and generalities.
(7) Detailed information obtained by war correspondents can be used only when permission is given, and the time of publication will vary according to circumstances.
These regulations called forth an angry protest from the Newspaper Proprietors' Association. The War Office denied all knowledge of them and they were withdrawn. The severe re- strictions on the liberty of the correspondents led to continual complaints by the Association. Notwithstanding these, no marked improvement took place until July 1917. From that date onwards the stringency of the censorship was gradually relaxed, and the army eventually set up an organization to supply correspondents with information, so that in dealing with the German advance in the spring of 1918 they were able to write with freedom. By the exercise of tact, discretion and inviolable good faith, the correspondents gradually won the confidence of the army, so that towards the end of the war officers of all ranks were keen to have them with their troops and to give them every facility permitted by official regulations.

Abstract
Quantitative methods can help us understand how underlying attributes contribute to movement patterns. Applying principal components analysis (PCA) to whole-body motion data may provide an objective data-driven method to identify unique and statistically important movement patterns. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to determine if athletes’ movement patterns can be differentiated based on skill level or sport played using PCA. Motion capture data from 542 athletes performing three sport-screening movements (i.e. bird-dog, drop jump, T-balance) were analyzed. A PCA-based pattern recognition technique was used to analyze the data. Prior to analyzing the effects of skill level or sport on movement patterns, methodological considerations related to motion analysis reference coordinate system were assessed. All analyses were addressed as case-studies. For the first case study, referencing motion data to a global (lab-based) coordinate system compared to a local (segment-based) coordinate system affected the ability to interpret important movement features. Furthermore, for the second case study, where the interpretability of PCs was assessed when data were referenced to a stationary versus a moving segment-based coordinate system, PCs were more interpretable when data were referenced to a stationary coordinate system for both the bird-dog and T-balance task. As a result of the findings from case study 1 and 2, only stationary segment-based coordinate systems were used in cases 3 and 4. During the bird-dog task, elite athletes had significantly lower scores compared to recreational athletes for principal component (PC) 1. For the T-balance movement, elite athletes had significantly lower scores compared to recreational athletes for PC 2. In both analyses the lower scores in elite athletes represented a greater range of motion. Finally, case study 4 reported differences in athletes’ movement patterns who competed in different sports, and significant differences in technique were detected during the bird-dog task. Through these case studies, this thesis highlights the feasibility of applying PCA as a movement pattern recognition technique in athletes. Future research can build on this proof-of-principle work to develop robust quantitative methods to help us better understand how underlying attributes (e.g. height, sex, ability, injury history, training type) contribute to performance.

IDEGen automatically generates Android IDE configurations for IntelliJ IDEA
and Eclipse. Your IDE should be able to compile everything in a reasonable
amount of time with no errors.
If you're using IntelliJ...
If this is your first time using IDEGen...
Android is large, thus IDEA needs a lot of memory. Add "-Xms1g -Xmx5g" to
your VM options in "Help > Edit Custom VM" and increase the
file size limit in "Help -> Edit custom properties" by adding
"idea.max.intellisense.filesize=100000". Make sure to restart the IDE for
the new settings to take effect.
Create a JDK configuration named "1.8 (No Libraries)" by adding a new
JDK like you normally would and then removing all of the jar entries
under the "Classpath" tab. This will ensure that you only get access to
Android's core libraries and not those from your desktop VM.
From the project's root directory...
Repeat these steps after each sync...
1) make (to produce generated .java source)
2) development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh
3) Open android.ipr in IntelliJ. If you already have the project open,
hit the sync button in IntelliJ, and it will automatically detect the
updated configuration.
If you get unexpected compilation errors from IntelliJ, try running
"Build -> Rebuild Project". Sometimes IntelliJ gets confused after the
project changes significantly.
If you're using Eclipse...
If this is your first time using IDEGen...
Edit eclipse.ini ("Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini" on OS X) and
add "-Xms748m -Xmx748m" to your VM options.
Configure a JRE named "1.7 (No Libraries)" under "Preferences -> Java ->
Installed JREs". Remove all of the jar entries underneath "JRE system
libraries". Eclipse will not let you save your configuration unless at
least one jar is present, so include a random jar that won't get in the
way.
From the project's root directory...
Repeat these steps after each sync...
1) make (to produce generated .java source)
2) development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh
3) Import the project root directory into your Eclipse workspace. If you
already have the project open, simply refresh it (F5).
Excluding source roots and jars
IDEGen keeps an exclusion list in the "excluded-paths" file. This file
has one regular expression per line that matches paths (relative to the
project root) that should be excluded from the IDE configuration. We
use Java's regular expression parser (see java.util.regex.Parser).
You can create your own additional exclusion list by creating an
"excluded-paths" file in the project's root directory. For example, you
might exclude all apps except the Browser in your IDE configuration with
this regular expression: "^packages/apps/(?!Browser)".
Controlling source root ordering (Eclipse)
You may want some source roots to come before others in Eclipse. Simply
create a file named "path-precedence" in your project's root directory.
Each line in the file is a regular expression that matches a source root
path (relative to the project's root directory). If a given source root's
path matches a regular expression that comes earlier in the file, that
source root will come earlier in the generated configuration. If a source
root doesn't match any of the expressions in the file, it will come last,
so you effectively have an implicit ".*" rule at the end of the file.
For example, if you want your applications's source root to come first,
you might add an expression like "^packages/apps/MyApp/src$" to the top
of the "path-precedence" file. To make source roots under ./out come last,
add "^(?!out/)" (which matches all paths that don't start with "out/"). | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Rh Dio, Book II. "When, therefore, he had learned this, he came to them the following day."
or unwillingly reveal something; but leading him into a garden where there were poppies, he struck off with his staff the heads that were most conspicuous and strewed the ground with them; hereupon he dismissed the message-bearer. The latter, without comprehending the affair, repeated the king's actions to Sextus, and he understood the meaning of the suggestion. And Sextus destroyed the more prominent men of Gabii, some secretly by poison, others by the hands of certain alleged robbers, and still others he put to death after judicial trial by concocting against them false accusations of traitorous dealings with his father.
Thus did Sextus deal with the men of Gabii; he destroyed the more influential citizens and distributed their wealth among the populace. Later when some had already perished and the rest had been cozened and thoroughly believed in him, assisted by the Roman captives and the deserters whom he had gathered in large numbers for the purpose, he seized the city and handed it over to his father. The king bestowed it upon his son, and himself made war upon other nations.

Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness. One of the biggest myths around the illness is that it isn’t treatable. With the right supports, people can work or volunteer, be active in their own care, and contribute to their communities.
What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects the way you understand and interact with the world around you.
At the beginning of an episode, people may feel that things around them seem different or strange. They may start to experience problems concentrating, thinking or communicating clearly, or taking part in their usual activities. At the height of the episode, people may experience breaks from reality called psychosis. These could be hallucinations (sensations, like voices, that aren’t real) and delusions (strong beliefs that aren’t true, like the belief that they have superpowers). Some people feel ‘flat’ or numb. They may also experience changes in mood, motivation, and the ability to complete tasks. After an episode, signs can continue for some time. People may feel restless, withdraw from others, or have a hard time concentrating.
The exact course and impact of schizophrenia is unique for each person. Some people only experience one episode in their lifetime while others experience many episodes. Some people experience periods of wellness between episodes while others may experience episodes that last a long time. Some people experience a psychotic episode without warning while others experience many early warning signs. No matter how someone experiences schizophrenia, researchers agree that early treatment can help reduce the impact of episodes in the future.
Who does it affect?
Schizophrenia can affect anyone. It usually starts to affect people in the teen years, though females often start to experience the illness a little later than males. No one knows exactly what causes schizophrenia or why it can affect people so differently. Genes, the way a person’s brain develops, and life events may all play a part.
What can I do about it?
While there is no cure for schizophrenia, people can and do recover. Recovery may mean learning to reduce the impact of problems, work around challenges, or maintain wellness. Most people use some combination of the following treatments and supports.
Some people need to spend time in hospital if they experience a severe episode of psychosis. This is a time to figure out the best treatment for you and begin your journey to health. Before you leave the hospital, care providers should help you map out the service providers (like doctors, counsellors, and social workers) who will be involved in your care and support your recovery.
Medication
Medication called antipsychotics may help reduce the severity of symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, and may eliminate these symptoms all together for many people. Continuing medication after you feel well again may help reduce the risk of relapse (when symptoms come back). There are many different kinds of antipsychotics, so it may take time and patience to find the best one for you.
All medications can cause side effects—some of which can be uncomfortable or difficult. It’s best to have ongoing, open conversations about medication with a doctor so that everyone understands how a medication is affecting you, what can be done, and what other options you may have.
Counselling and supports
Counselling can help with many problems like low mood, anxiety, and relationships. You can learn helpful skills like problem-solving and setting goals. There are also therapies to help reduce the impact of delusions and hallucinations. Schizophrenia can affect people’s goals around education, work, and independent living. Professionals like occupational therapists and social workers can help with daily living, social skills, employment or volunteer training, and community activities. They can also connect you with community supports like home care, housing, and income assistance.
A big part of managing schizophrenia is relapse prevention. You can learn what might trigger an episode and learn to recognize early warning signs of an episode. The goal is to learn when to seek extra supports, which may help reduce the impact or length of the episode.
Self-care is important for everyone. Small steps like eating well, getting regular exercise, building healthy sleep habits, spending time on activities you enjoy, spirituality, and connecting with loved ones can make a big difference.
Schizophrenia can leave people feeling very isolated and alone. At times, many people who experience schizophrenia feel uncomfortable around others. But many also worry about what others will think of them. The right relationships can be supportive and healing. Your support team can help you connect with support groups.
How can I help a loved one?
Supporting a loved one can be hard. It can be difficult to understand what a loved one is experiencing, and their behaviour may be confusing at times. Many people worry about their loved one’s future. The good news is that schizophrenia is treatable—and love and support can go a long way. Here are some tips for helping a loved one:
Do you need more help?
Contact a community organization like the Canadian Mental Health Association to learn more about support and resources in your area. Find your local CMHA here.
Founded in 1918, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is the most established, most extensive community mental health organization in Canada. Through a presence in hundreds of neighbourhoods across every province, CMHA provides advocacy and resources that help to prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all Canadians to flourish and thrive. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Balalae Airport
Balalae Airport is a small civil airport on Balalae island operated by Solomon Airlines. It is located in the northwest of the Solomon Islands, part of the Shortland Island Group and south of Bougainville Island. It serves the nearby Shortland Islands and Fauro Island. It's a 1.75 km long sandy coral airstrip only 5 feet (or 1.5 meters) above sea level with a small customs area. It was built by prisoners of war, mostly British captured during the siege of Singapore, under the command of the Japanese during their occupation of the Solomons to protect the stronghold of Rabaul. In about June 1943, all Allied prisoners remaining on the island were killed and buried in mass graves. 436 bodies of unidentified soldiers were exhumed post-war. During 1943, Admiral Yamamoto planned to arrive on the airport from Rabaul to increase morale after the defeat at the Battle of Guadalcanal. He was shot down while passing Bougainville Island during Operation Vengeance, during the Guadalcanal campaign. | WIKI |
Eating and drinking - 14 facts about drinking: Are you misinformed? - CBS News
Watch CBSN Live Much of the conventional wisdom about alcohol and drinking is all wet. So says Dr. Scott Walters, professor of social and behavioral sciences at the University of North Texas Health Science Center and the author of Talking with College Students about Alcohol: Motivational Strategies for Reducing Abuse. Keep clicking as Dr. Walters separates truth from fiction in 14 common beliefs about alcohol... Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Men can drink more than women without getting drunk TRUE. In general, men can drink more without becoming intoxicated. That's because men tend to weigh more, which means that alcohol is less concentrated in the bloodstream. In addition, men's bodies tend to contain more water, pound for pound. This means that alcohol will be more dilute in a man's body. A 140-pound woman who tries to keep up with a 180-pound man over several hours can reach a blood alcohol concentration that's two times higher. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: It takes a lot to make someone legally drunk FALSE. When it comes to driving, legally drunk means having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. How much alcohol it takes to reach that level depends not only how much alcohol has been consumed and how fast, but also the drinker's body weight and gender. So while a 160-pound man needs to drink about three standard drinks in an hour to reach the legal limit, a 130-pound women needs to drink only two drinks in an hour to reach the limit. Credit: iStockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Coffee can sober up someone who is drunk FALSE. Once alcohol is in the bloodstream, nothing can be done to increase the rate at which the liver processes it (about one drink an hour). Coffee won't help, and neither will exercising or having a cold shower. But coffee can give a potentially dangerous impression of feeling more sober - potentially dangerous because someone in such a state may assume that it's okay to drive. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Eating beforehand lets you drink more without becoming drunk TRUE. Alcohol mixed with food takes longer to absorb than alcohol consumed on an empty stomach. Some people find it helpful to eat a meal before going out for a night on the town. In addition to slowing the rate at which alcohol enters the bloodstream, eating before drinking might result in a full stomach that puts out fewer fill me signals. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Some people are better at holding their alcohol TRUE. But it's important to realize that the ability to hold your liquor - what doctors call tolerance - is about how intoxicated you feel, and not how intoxicated you actually are. And before you start bragging about your high alcohol tolerance, you should know that it's actually considered a major risk factor for alcoholism. That's because people who can drink a lot without feeling drunk tend to drink more than people with low alcohol tolerance. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: One drink doesn't affect driving ability FALSE. Any amount of alcohol consumption before driving can affect performance behind the wheel. In fact, a recent study showed that having a single drink can significantly affect a person's driving ability. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: The beer before liquor saying has basis in fact FALSE. The logic behind the saying Beer before liquor, never sicker is that it might be easier on your body to process weak alcoholic beverages (like beer) later in the evening. But hangovers are more dependent on the total amount of alcohol consumed, rather than the order of drinking. People who mix different types of alcohol (like beer and liquor) tend to drink more, which can put them at risk of experiencing problems. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Letting kids drink helps them avoid alcoholism later on FALSE. Studies have shown that high school students who drink with their parents' permission are more likely to drink later on, not less likely - and this is especially true when youngsters are allowed to drink at home with friends. On the flip side, the longer a young person delays drinking, the lower his/her risk for subsequent alcohol problems. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Dark beer contains more alcohol FALSE. A beer's color has little to do with its alcohol content. Color is determined mainly by the malt and other ingredients used in the recipe, and the length of the brewing process. Most beer contains 4 percent to 7 percent alcohol. Some dark beers, including Guinness stout, are on the low end of the alcohol content scale. Credit: Flickr/Bernt Rostad TRUE OR FALSE: The alcohol in hard liquor is more intoxicating FALSE. Beer, wine, and liquor all contain the same kind of alcohol (ethanol). All things being equal, one standard drink should produce the same level of intoxication. But some people tend to drink more when drinking hard liquor or mixing different types of alcoholic beverages. And many cocktails contain far more alcohol than one standard drink. Just what is a standard drink, anyway? It's 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine, or a mixed drink containing one shot of 80-proof liquor. Each standard drink contains half an ounce of ethanol. Credit: Flickr/Alper TRUE OR FALSE: Alcohol destroys brain cells FALSE. Alcohol doesn't actually kill brain cells. It affects the way brain cells communicate with one another. Still, chronic, heavy drinking can lead to neurological problems, such as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which causes severe problems with memory. Credit: iStockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Anyone who passes out from drinking should sleep it off FALSE. People can continue to absorb alcohol even after passing out, and this can lead to a fatal overdose of alcohol. Some unfortunate people left to sleep after becoming drunk aspirate their own vomit and choke to death. So, it's important to stay with someone who might have had too much to drink, and not to assume that he/she will be fine after sleeping it off. If someone has seizures, slow or irregular breathing, or blue/pale skin - or you cannot wake him/her - call 911. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Dark-hued beverages are more likely to cause a hangover TRUE. In general, lighter-colored drinks like white wine and vodka produce fewer hangover effects. Credit: istockphoto TRUE OR FALSE: Alcoholism runs in families TRUE. People who have blood relatives with a history of alcohol (or drug) problems are at higher risk themselves. The more numerous these relatives are and the closer the blood relationship, the higher the risk. The risk is even higher if the relatives who had the problems are of the same gender you are. Why is this? Scientists aren't sure. But it appears that a person's responsiveness to alcohol (tolerance) is at least partially hereditary.

Creating a localizable WPF dialog
This post explains how to create a localizable dialog with WPF using the SharpDevelop infrastructure, i.e. when writing a SharpDevelop AddIn. If you are writing a standalone application, you can still get ideas from the post, but you will have to define the referenced styles and markup extensions yourself.
If we create a simple dialog using the designer, the XAML code might look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Window
x:Class="SomeNamespace.MyDialog" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="125" Width="300"
Title="This is my dialog">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="1*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBox
Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"
Margin="8,8,8,8">
This big text box is representing the main content.
</TextBox>
<StackPanel
Orientation="Horizontal"
Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Margin="0,0,8,4.25"
Width="160" Height="24.5">
<Button
Content="OK"
IsDefault="True"
Width="75" Height="23" />
<Button
Content="Cancel"
IsCancel="True"
Margin="4,0"
Width="75" Height="23" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Window>
This results in the following window:
Now, there is a whole bunch of issues with this dialog. The most obvious are that the text on the buttons is blurry, and that the background color is wrong (dialogs are expected to use the Control color, a light grey). Also, this window is shown in the task bar - dialogs shouldn't do that. We can fix all of these issues by applying a style to the window:
<Window ... xmlns:core="http://icsharpcode.net/sharpdevelop/core" Style="{x:Static core:GlobalStyles.DialogWindowStyle}">
This style will do the following things:
• Use 'Control' as background color
• Hides the window from the task bar
• Enable WPF 4 layout and text rendering (makes everything less blurry)
• Enables right-to-left layout if the current language is a right-to-left language
If you have a normal window (not dialog), then you can also use {x:Static core:GlobalStyles.WindowStyle}, which does not set the background color and does not hide the window in the task bar.
Now let's get to the localization part: we need to load the translated string resources. The {core:Localize} markup extension can be used to do this (assuming the string resources are registered with the SharpDevelop ResourceService):
<Window ... Title="{core:Localize SomeNamespace.MyDialog.Title}">
...
<Button
Content="{core:Localize Global.OKButtonText}" .../>
There are a few global resources for commonly used elements, but all other strings should be added using keys that indicate where the resource is being used.
But now we're running into more potential issues: what if the translated string doesn't fit on our button? All explicitly specified widths are potential trouble-makers, so let's get rid of them. Let's trust the automatic layout being done by WPF.
The title is missing because we forgot to define that string in the resource file. But let's ignore that issue and concentrate on the buttons instead.
'OK' is way too small, and even 'Abbrechen' (German for Cancel) could use some more spacing between the button border and the text. Fortunately, SharpDevelop again provides a style for this common issue. We could apply that style to each button individually, but let's register it in our window so that it automatically gets picked up by all buttons:
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{x:Static core:GlobalStyles.ButtonStyle}"/>
</Window.Resources>
This style will give the button the correct padding (9,1) and minimum width (73).
These buttons look pretty reasonable - but if you look closely, you'll notice that the "Abbrechen" button is a bit wider than the "OK" button (80 pixels vs. 73 pixels). In this case, it's not a big problem; but the effect might be more pronounced in other languages, or with other text on the buttons; so let's take a look at how to fix this. WPF has the container "UniformGrid" to assign the same size to a set of controls. However, if you try to apply that in this case, you'll notice that the UniformGrid will include the margin in the size calculation, so whichever button has the margin set will appear to be a bit smaller.
There are two solutions to this problem: either evenly distribute the margin over both buttons (give OK a right-margin of 2; and Cancel a left-margin of 2), or use the UniformGridWithSpacing container. Here, we use the latter approach, which has the advantage that it can be extended to more than 2 buttons without having to think about the distribution of margins.
UniformGridWithSpacing is defined in ICSharpCode.SharpDevelop.Widgets, so we'll need to import that namespace: xmlns:widgets="http://icsharpcode.net/sharpdevelop/widgets"
Here's how you use the grid:
<widgets:UniformGridWithSpacing Columns="2"
Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Margin="0,0,12,12">
<Button Content="{core:Localize Global.OKButtonText}" IsDefault="True" />
<Button Content="{core:Localize Global.CancelButtonText}" IsCancel="True" />
</widgets:UniformGridWithSpacing>
The spacing can be defined using the SpaceBetweenColumns property, but that's not necessary in this case as the default value (7) is correct for this purpose. And yes, the Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines really suggest 7 pixels here; not 4 or 8 as is often mistakenly assumed (I made the same mistake in the Window we started with).
Finally, you should ensure that your dialog doesn't show a common bug: open your dialog, then switch to another application, then switch back to SharpDevelop. What should happen is that your dialog appears, forcing the user to finish whatever he was doing with your dialog. If the dialog does not appear and the SharpDevelop main window is unresponsive, you forget to give your dialog an owner. In the code creating the window (ideally just before calling w.ShowDialog()), add:
w.Owner = WorkbenchSingleton.MainWindow;
If your dialog is triggered by another dialog, then use your immediate parent window as owner instead.

In 1796, as his second term in office came to an end, President Washington urged the American people to cherish the Union. He reminded his listeners that the principles upon which our Nation was founded are rooted in faith, and he encouraged them to promote public virtue and the general diffusion of knowledge as means of preserving those ideals. "You have," he declared, "in a common cause fought and triumphed together." Washington hoped that the American people would always be united by their love for liberty and self-government. Today we know that Washington's efforts were not made in vain. "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." These were the immortal words given in eulogy to George Washington shortly after his death in 1799. They are a fitting tribute to a great American patriot and President. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby urge all Americans to observe the 258th anniversary of the birth of George Washington with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities designed to honor the memory of this great American. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourteenth. GEORGE BUSH Proclamation 6098 of February 16, 1990 Lithuanian Independence Day, 1990 By the President of the United States of America /' A Proclamation ' The birth of a nation is a momentous event that inscribes a people's name forever in the annals of history, motivating and inspiring those who live under its banner and ideals. Seventy-two years ago, on February 16, 1918, the people of Lithuania realized their long-denied dream of independence. The free Republic of Lithuania prospered until the tragic events of 1940—^when Soviet troops invaded and occupied the country as a result of the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed just 1 year before. Lithuania's struggle for liberty, and that of its neighbors in Estonia and Latvia, served as an inspiration to many who saw the collapse of old empires as a harbinger of peace and freedom for Europe. Later, when these heartfelt aspirations were crushed by totalitarian aggression, freedom-loving men and women around the world were rightfully outraged.

BARD1
Summary: This gene encodes a protein which interacts with the N-terminal region of BRCA1. In addition to its ability to bind BRCA1 in vivo and in vitro, it shares homology with the 2 most conserved regions of BRCA1: the N-terminal RING motif and the C-terminal BRCT domain. The RING motif is a cysteine-rich sequence found in a variety of proteins that regulate cell growth, including the products of tumor suppressor genes and dominant protooncogenes. This protein also contains 3 tandem ankyrin repeats. The BARD1/BRCA1 interaction is disrupted by tumorigenic amino acid substitutions in BRCA1, implying that the formation of a stable complex between these proteins may be an essential aspect of BRCA1 tumor suppression. This protein may be the target of oncogenic mutations in breast or ovarian cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Exploring the universe from the inside out
Link to segment of a YouTube video with a set stop time using "end" URL query parameter
Sometimes, you just want to link to a specific segment of a YouTube video. Deep-linking to a specific start time in a YouTube video is fairly common — but sometimes specifying an end-time is as (or more!) important.
After much fruitless Googling, I’ve found a way to do this:
1. Use the embed URL (https://youtube.com/embed/ID) rather than the watch URL (https://youtube.com/watch?v=ID or https://youtube.com/watch/ID)
2. Specify the start time, end time, or both, using the URL parameters start and end. The units are seconds. I haven't figured out a way to use other units but it might be possible.
Here are seven seconds from the middle of a Joel Spolsky talk:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/0nbkaYsR94c?start=41&end=48
(When you use embed URLs as links, it’s just the video — no sidebars or comments. In my view, that's a good thing.)
Here’s an actual embed of the above embed URL, so you can see the query parameters at work without leaving the page:
Here’s the same video, starting one minute in:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/0nbkaYsR94c?start=60
Here’s just the first minute of the talk:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/0nbkaYsR94c?end=60
[For those who aren’t familiar with URL query strings: a question mark goes after the URL and before the first query parameter, and additional key-value pairs are separated with an ampersand.]
I’d run across mention of YouTube allowing one to link to a segment of a video using ?start=30&end=60 (or in some cases stop rather than end) in various articles, but these parameters don’t work on the watch URL. When sharing a regular YouTube link, start=30 turns into t=30s and the stop or end parameter gets thrown out.
At first, I assumed YouTube had removed this useful functionality. But the docs for the embedded player still mentioned the end parameter, so I tried using them on the embed URL when not embedded — and it worked!
I hope this helps anyone who has the same question I had. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

High-Level Architecture
Overview
The Fireblocks Embedded Wallet (EW), formerly Non-Custodial Wallet (NCW), architecture is designed with a minimalistic approach to provide maximum flexibility and ease of use.
Fireblocks provides Android, iOS, and Web SDKs for easily integrating EW functionality into your mobile and web applications. The mobile and web SDKs focus solely on MPC key provisioning, signing, and backup/recovery.
Integration Components
There are three main components required for integrating the Fireblocks EW feature:
1. Client-side application: A mobile or web app with the EW SDK implemented.
2. Backend server: A proxy backend server hosted by the customer with the Fireblocks SDK implemented.
3. Fireblocks: An EW-enabled workspace.
The mobile and web SDKs send and receive data related to MPC key generation and signing through a backend proxy owned by the customer. This gives you an additional layer of security and allows you to customize the solution to fit the needs of your business.
Backend Proxy Server
Security, control, and efficiency are top priorities in software application development. To address these aspects effectively, the Fireblocks EW requires you to implement a backend proxy architecture. This strategy involves introducing an intermediary server between your client application and Fireblocks services.
Why use a backend proxy architecture?
The backend proxy architecture is designed to strengthen the security, control, and efficiency of your interactions with the Fireblocks platform. By employing an intermediary server, you establish an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access and potential threats. This architecture enables you to control the flow of traffic, monitor usage patterns, and optimize performance. Additionally, it provides a flexible framework that adapts to changes in APIs and SDKs.
Benefits of backend proxy architecture
Enhanced security
• Data validation: The backend server validates incoming requests, ensuring they comply with expected formats and preventing malicious input.
• Authorization: User authentication and authorization can be enforced at the backend server, limiting access to authorized clients only.
• IP whitelisting: By only allowing communication from the backend server's IP, you reduce the risk of attack, potential vulnerabilities, and unnecessary access to your Fireblocks workspace.
Control and monitoring
• Rate limiting: The backend can restrict the rate at which requests are sent to our services, preventing misuse or overloading. Learn more about Fireblocks API rate limits and IP whitelisting.
• Logging: Detailed logs of requests and responses provide insights for debugging, auditing, and performance analysis.
Flexibility and adaptability
• SDK updates: You can update the backend server to accommodate changes in SDKs or APIs without requiring immediate changes in your client application.
• API changes: If Fireblocks EW APIs evolve, the backend server can be modified to handle these changes while protecting your application from immediate impacts.
Implementing backend proxy architecture
1. Establish a backend server that intercepts SDK function calls from your client application.
2. When the client application invokes SDK functions, the backend server forwards these requests to the Fireblocks EW API.
3. The backend server receives responses from Fireblocks and relays them back to your client application.
4. Enforce authentication, authorization, and data validation in the backend to ensure secure communication.
Example of EW creation
• The end user wants to provision a new EW via the customer's mobile or web application.
• The customer's backend calls the POST /v1/wallets API endpoint.
• The Fireblocks platform creates a new EW in the relevant workspace.
• Fireblocks responds with the newly created wallet identifier.
• The customer assigns the newly created EW to its end user in the customer's database.
• The user gets a new EW. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The Importance of Washing Your Hands
With the rise of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), hand-washing has become more prominent as a health measure. Proper hand-washing shouldn’t just be a concern during outbreaks infectious disease, though — it’s essential at any time. Many preventable diseases are spread via dirty hands.
How do germs get onto your hands?
Pathogens (germs) are very easy to transmit if you don’t wash your hands properly. There are many ways that bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens can get onto your hands.
Coughing and sneezing into your hands can quickly transfer germs to your skin. So can touching your nose, eyes, or mouth.
Feces is a significant source of pathogens, whether it’s from animals or people. Microbes found in feces are responsible for food poisonings, such as E. coli and salmonella. Norovirus is also transmitted this way, causing severe diarrhea and vomiting. Contamination with feces can also cause certain respiratory infections.
It’s common for these microbes to find their way onto people’s hands after using the bathroom, changing a baby’s diaper, or perhaps cleaning up after a pet. They may also get onto your hands if you handle raw meat or poultry; sometimes, these foods become contaminated with bacteria during processing. Once they’re cooked the pathogens are destroyed. In their raw state, they can be a dangerous source of infection.
Why are pathogens on your hands dangerous?
Once the pathogens are on your hands, they are easily transferred to you or others. When you shake hands or handle an item that someone else then touches, they can pick up those pathogens. Food and eating or drinking utensils are particularly risky in this regard. For example, if you handle a cup with dirty hands and someone else drinks from it, they may ingest any pathogens that were on your fingers when you touched it.
The more items you touch in between hand-washings, the more potential there is for contamination. Thank of all the surfaces that you touch during the day. You might handle utensils in the kitchen when you make breakfast, touch the door handle when you leave, then touch handrails and buttons on public transport. At work, you will probably come in contact with multiple items such as telephones, door handles, tools, or other objects that the people around you may also handle.
Once someone has picked up the pathogens left on these surfaces, they may touch their faces and transfer the pathogens to their mouths, noses, or eyes. People may also transfer those pathogens to fresh surfaces, where even more individuals can pick them up. Some germs can live for hours, days, or even weeks outside of the body, waiting to be picked up by an unwitting host.
How long should you wash your hands?
Proper hand-washing could prevent as much as 80 percent of infectious diseases. It’s essential to wash your hands after every visit to the bathroom, and any time you might have come into contact with a contaminated surface.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends washing your hands for at least 20 seconds. Use clean water, preferably warm, and soap. While the soap doesn’t kill most pathogens, it does remove them from your hands. Make sure you clean every part of your hands: fronts, backs, sides, in between your fingers and underneath your nails.
If you can’t access clean water, you may substitute hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes. These are less effective than washing thoroughly with soap and water; however, so should only be used when that’s not an option.
Preventing sickness through hand-washing has multiple benefits for society, especially the most vulnerable members. Children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems can become seriously ill if they acquire these preventable diseases. Because it cuts down the number of people who need antibiotic treatments, proper hand-washing also helps prevent antibiotic resistance from evolving bacteria. It also helps avoid spreading infections that are already resistant. Through this simple measure, we can all make the world a healthier place.

Working with zip files in Python
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create, extract and view zip files in Python using the built-in module named zipfile.
Working with zip files in Python
In this tutorial we're going to learn how to create, extract and view zip files in Python using the built-in module named zipfile.
What is a zip file?
It is a file that contains several compressed files and folders. Zip uses several compression algorithms to compress files. The most common one is DEFLATE.
A zip file has these benefits:
• Reduced file size.
• Saves storage space.
• Allows you to encrypt data.
zipfile module
zipfile is a built-in module in Python to work with zip files. It allows you to create, extract and modify files.
Limitations
This module comes with everything you need to work with zip files. But has the following limitations.
• It cannot handle ZIP files that are more than 4 GiB in size.
• Cannot create an encrypted zip file.
• Decompression is extremely slow compared to C.
Exceptions
An exception is an event that affects the normal flow of execution of a program. These are the exceptions that are defined in the zipfile module:
• zipfile.BadZipFile - The error raised for bad ZIP files. It was introduced in version 3.2. It's alias is zipfile.BadZipfile, for compatibility with older Python versions.
• zipfile.LargeZipFile - Raised when a ZIP file would require ZIP64 functionality but that has not been enabled.
Classes and methods
Here's a list of classes in zipfile module.
• zipfile.ZipFile - The class for reading and writing ZIP files.
• ZipFile.close() - Close the archive file. You must call close() before exiting your program or essential records will not be written.
• ZipFile.open - (name, mode='r', pwd=None, *, force_zip64=False) Access a member of the archive as a binary file-like object.
• ZipFile.extract - (member, path=None, pwd=None)Extract a member from the archive to the current working directory; member must be its full name or a ZipInfo object.
• ZipFile.extractall - (path=None, members=None, pwd=None)Extract all members from the archive to the current working directory. path specifies a different directory to extract to.
• zipfile.ZipInfo - (filename='NoName', date_time=(1980, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0))Class used to represent information about a member of an archive.
• zipfile.is_zipfile -(filename)Returns True if filename is a valid ZIP file based on its magic number, otherwise returns False.
Extract a zip file
In this example, we are using the extractAll() method to extract the contents of our zip file.
from zipfile import ZipFile
zip_file = 'myzipfile.zip'
zip = ZipFile(zip_file, 'r')
zip.extractall()
zip.close()
print("Files Extracted")
This will extract the content of our Zip file to the current directory. To extract the content to a different directory, specify the path in extractall() method.
zip.extractall("D:\Extracted")
You can also use this method to open and work with zip files.
from zipfile import ZipFile
zip_file = 'myzipfile.zip'
with ZipFile(zip_file, 'r') as zip:
zip.extractall("D:\Extracted")
print("Files Extracted")
In python the with keyword is used when working with unmanaged resources (like file streams). It allows you to ensure that a resource is cleaned up when the code that uses it finishes running, even if exceptions are thrown.
List contents of a zip file
To list the contents of a Zip file, we can use the printdir() method.
from zipfile import ZipFile
zip_file = 'myzip.zip'
with ZipFile(zip_file, 'r') as zip:
zip.printdir()
And here is the result.

Create zip files
Using ZipFile.write() method, we can add files to a zip. In this example, we first create a list named files and stores the files to be zipped in it. Then we write the files as a zip file using the write() method.
from zipfile import ZipFile
# Files to compress
files = [r'E:\file1.txt', r'E:\file2.txt']
# Path to save the zip file
save_to = r"D:\compressed\myzipfile.zip"
with ZipFile('myzipfile.zip', 'w') as zip:
for file in files:
zip.write(file)
We can change the compression algorithm by modifying the code as:
import zipfile
from zipfile import ZipFile
# Files to compress
files = [r'E:\file1.txt', r'E:\file2.txt']
# Path to save the zip file
with ZipFile('myzipfile.zip', 'w', compression= zipfile.ZIP_LZMA) as zip:
for file in files:
zip.write(file)
To zip all files and sub-folders of a directory, us this method.
import os
import zipfile
from zipfile import ZipFile
# Files to compress
files = []
for _root, _directories, _files in os.walk(r'D:\filestozip'):
for filename in _files:
# join the two strings in order to form the full filepath.
filepath = os.path.join(_root, filename)
files.append(filepath)
print(files)
# Path to save the zip file
save_to = r"D:\myzipfile.zip"
with ZipFile(save_to, 'w', compression= zipfile.ZIP_LZMA) as zip:
for file in files:
zip.write(file)
Wrapping it up
In this post, we learned to create, extract and view contents of a zip file using Python's built in ZipFile module.

184 But yon dark maiden! I would give much to bend that high head, and it would be worth much contest to subdue that spirit. She is of a bad traitor’s blood, that is tainted for many a day, but she is so sturdy in her hate that it were a prize to get her love.”
When Olaf rose to leave, his smile was for Freda, but his last look was on Gudrun’s dark, unbent head.
That night said the Lady Aastrid to Earl Sigvalde: “Our lord the king hath visited us while the maidens sat spinning, and I think the winter is over with him. The fire of memory is dying out, and he is turning to the spring sunlight without, and I believe, my lord, that our fair Freda, Earl Gormo’s winsome maiden, will be the especial sunbeam he will seek.”
“So! so! my lady,” the earl answered; “it were a good thing. Better and truer blood than Gormo’s is not in Norway. The maiden thou dost say is winsome?”
“Aye, as sweet as the violets of the Kiolen, and as fit to fill a man’s life with fragrance.”
“And looked he not on Ironbeard’s dark daughter?”
“Only in anger and reproof, for she would sing some heathen saga, and our Olaf would not hear it; so he turned to Freda and smiled upon her as she sang.”
Earl Sigvalde seemed relieved. “It is well he hath not been snared by the base brood of Ironbeard.” They then sat to their evening meal. | WIKI |

Overview
Differential equations are important for fields such as engineering, physics, science and others as they have phenomena that are best described, modeled and solved via differential equations. Ordinary differential equations are differential equations that depend on a single variable. Complex differential equations that are dependent on more than one variable are partial differential equations.
Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)
First-Order ODEs
The simplest ODEs are first-order because they involve the first derivative of an unknown function and no higher derivatives; specific differential equations are generally described of order n where the nth derivative of the unknown function is the highest derivative present. These unknown functions represent y(x)y(x) or y(t)y(t) depending on the units in question.
Thus, a first-order ODE takes the explicit form
y=f(x,y)\begin{equation} y{}'=f(x,y) \end{equation}
Equation (1)(1) is.
Solutions
A function
y=h(x)\begin{equation} y=h(x) \end{equation}

Kathir ibn Ahmad
Kathir ibn Ahmad ibn Shahfur (also known as Kuthayyir) (died 919) was the amir of Sistan from 917 until his death.
Life
Kathir was the son of an officer who had served in Amr ibn Laith's army. Before becoming amir, he acted as a mediator during the Samanid invasion of Sistan in 911. After the Samanids conquered Sistan, Kathir ended up in the service of the caliphal representative Abu Yazid Khalid, who wrested Sistan from the Samanids but then threw off Abbasid sovereignty. Kathir participated in Abu Yazid Khalid's invasion of Kerman and Fars in 917, in which the latter was defeated and killed.
Following the defeat, Kathir returned to Sistan with a portion of Abu Yazid Khalid's army, and was recognized as amir in Zarang on May 19, 917. The dependencies of Sistan (Bust, al-Rukhkhaj and Zamindawar) followed suit soon after. With the support of the local 'ayyars, he defeated an army sent by Badr ibn 'Abdallah, the governor of Fars and Kerman, to retake the province.
Despite this, Kathir was not confident that he could survive a full-scale offensive by Badr and sought a rapprochement with the Abbasids. He released prisoners captured in the battle with Badr's army and offered tribute to Baghdad; the caliphal government accepted this gesture. Just as peace had been established, however, Kathir was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy involving an 'ayyar leader, the commander of his Indian troops, and an officer named Ahmad ibn Qudam. The alleged reason behind the murder was Kathir's ill-treatment of a faqih. Ahmad ibn Qudam became amir following Kathir's death. | WIKI |
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tunde Banjoko
The result was delete. Since the only Keep rationales are based on the OBE, which does not confer automatic notability, and the subject has requested deletion, I think the outcom here is clear. Black Kite (talk) 08:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Tunde Banjoko
* – ( View AfD View log Stats )
Despite receiving an OBE there is no indication Banjoko meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. Coverage consists of passing mentions only. The organization he founded may be notable; Banjoko himself does not meet WP:GNG. Sources are merely passing mentions, list entries, or Banjoko being quoted on his organization, not detailed coverage of Banjoko himself. Huon (talk) 22:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
* Note: This debate has been included in the list of People-related deletion discussions. Human 3015 TALK 22:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
* Note: This debate has been included in the list of United Kingdom-related deletion discussions. Human 3015 TALK 22:49, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
* Keep: He was awarded Order of the British Empire which is I think enough for his notability as per WP:ANYBIO. He does have some coverage like in this reliable book. . Article also has some references. -- Human 3015 TALK 23:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
* Keep: Huon - do you have any idea what an Order of the British Empire is? It's an order of chivalry that is only awarded for outstanding achievement. They're not given away like Purple Hearts. Anybody who has been awarded an OBE is notable. And the sources are reliable. Bamber Clarte (talk) 08:00, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* Comment - for the record, Tunde Banjoko has contacted OTRS and requested deletion of this article on grounds of notability and privacy concerns. It seems Banjoko disagrees with the assertion that an OBE means automatic notability. Since there are more than 100,000 living members of the OBE, more than one in 1000 Britons, I agree with him. For comparison, military personnel is presumed to be notable if they were awarded the highest order for valor; being awarded a military MBE would not mean automatic notability. The same should hold for civilian awards by analogy. For low-profile individuals like Banjoko the Presumption in favor of privacy should hold. Huon (talk) 10:43, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* I have some questions regarding this. I am not particularly asking about this article but it is in general. How we can delete an article on request of the subject? If we don't create article on his/her request then why we should delete on his/her request? To avoid any kind of BLP violation maximum we can do is to remove unsourced content, remove allegations or legal matter on which trial is going on in court etc. But if someone is surely notable and if he/she asks to delete his/her article then what we should do? I think deletion of article should be based on consensus of the Wikipedia community. -- Human 3015 TALK 11:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* As I pointed out above, there is a presumption in favor of privacy. Banjoko isn't "surely notable"; three passing mentions and a book that uses him as a case study don't equate to significant coverage. I remember a guideline stating that in such cases the subject's wishes to remove an article should be taken into account, but I couldn't find it again. Huon (talk) 12:29, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* Keep: the criteria for being made an OBE are far more stringent than those for being given your own Wikipedia page. And while we're on the subject were did this figure of 100,000 living members of the OBE come from? And since when has notability been measured in the number of web search results? Unknown Unknowns (talk) 16:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* Comment: The Order of the British Empire is divided into five classes - we generally accept that the three highest classes (of which relatively few are awarded) are sufficient to assume notability, but the letters OBE indicate that the subject's award was in the fourth class. This does not automatically mean that the subject is not notable - the activities of the subject that gained him the award might well independently meet WP:GNG, but it does mean that this needs to be established. PWilkinson (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
* Delete - the sources provided are trivial mentions and my own searches turned up almost nothing about him. I would point out that he's given quotes to Bloomberg and Huffington Post, so I'm not sure if he qualifies as a WP:LOWPROFILE person. mikeman67 (talk) 00:54, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
* Comment: Like I said before, web presence is no indication of notability. If this article breaches some Wikipedia privacy policy then please cite it and then delete the article. Otherwise keep it. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 09:12, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
* Lack of coverage in reliable third-party sources very much is an indication of a lack of notability; see WP:GNG. I haven't seen any evidence that there are significant offline sources discussing Banjoko in any detail. "Web presence" is a red herring. By the way, the number of 100,000 (including MBEs) comes from the monarchy's own website. Huon (talk) 09:51, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
* Comment That's still only about 0.2% of the population. Bamber Clarte (talk) 22:41, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
* And that's not just OBEs. Far more MBEs are awarded than OBEs. Still quite a few OBEs though. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
* Delete. Note that we have never considered the OBE sufficient for notability on its own, although it is a contributing factor. You have to have a CBE or above for any form of inherent notability. OBEs and MBEs are just much too common. If he had an entry in Who's Who I'd be more convinced of his notability, but he doesn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
* Delete: I would like to change my earlier vote, as Huon pointed out that according to official website there are more than 100,000 living awardees of OBE, so we should create article on those who passes WP:GNG. There can be much more winners of this award who are not-living. I don't know exact number of articles that WikiProject UK has but WikiProject India has 152,000 articles, I think if we make article on every living and dead OBE winner then their number can cross all articles related to India. We should create article on only those having some reasonable coverage.-- Human 3015 TALK 17:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

End All Youth Detention and Torture at Rikers Island Now
Nobody of any age should be held in jail without a trial for three years. No child or adolescent should be held in an adult jail. Yet, a 16-year-old accused of stealing a backpack was kept in one of the most violent adult jails in the United States, Rikers Island in New York City, for three years without a trial. This was morally scandalous and inhumane. Even worse, he spent more than two years of that time in solitary confinement, locked up alone except to go to the shower, the recreation area, the visit room or the medical clinic. This was torture. The suicide of 22-year-old Kalief Browder on June 6, barely two years after his release and return home, was the final horror in his tragic and brutal journey into the depths of the adult criminal justice system in New York. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Sam Christopher Martin is a 17 year old male that lives in the heart of Ludlow, Shropshire, UK. Sam is a part time waiter that has dreams of becoming an actor when older, although this will involve a lot of hard work via various routes.
Sam currently attends Ludlow College, where he is studying Drama as one of his courses. He is in his first year at college and will continue to progress there until 2010, when he will hopefully take a gap year to travel a bit of the world. Previous education of Sam involves 5 years at Ludlow Church of England School - where he also took drama as part of his GCSE's.
Current achievement in the theatrical arms involve Sam playing Danny in a school production of Grease in 2008, which acted as his first big performance. This performance was followed by another lead role at college, where Sam played Seymour in Ludlow College's version of Little Shop Of Horrors, which was a huge success. | WIKI |

Test builders
⚠️ Test builders are experimental and subject to change. If you have feedback on them, please let us know via GitHub issues or in the Kotlin Slack community.
Apollo Kotlin provides test builders that enable you to instantiate your GraphQL model classes with default values. Test builders are especially helpful for testing models with a large number of fields or a deeply nested hierarchy. They automatically populate the __typename field and deduplicate merged fields whenever possible.
Enabling test builders
Test builders are not enabled by default, because they aren't useful for every application and they generate additional code. To enable them, set the generateTestBuilders option to true:
build.gradle[.kts]
apollo {
// ...
// Enable test builder generation
generateTestBuilders.set(true)
}
This generates a builder DSL for each model used by your operations. These DSLs are based on each model's fields. Using the DSLs, you can set the values of fields you require for a particular test, and mocked values are set automatically for other fields.
Example usage
Let's say we're building a test that uses a mocked result of the following query:
query HeroForEpisode($ep: Episode!) {
hero(episode: $ep) {
firstName
lastName
age
... on Droid {
primaryFunction
}
... on Human {
height
}
}
}
Here's how we can use the corresponding test builder for that mocked result:
// Import the query's test builder
import com.example.test.HeroForEpisodeQuery_TestBuilder.Data
@Test
fun test() {
val data = HeroForEpisodeQuery.Data {
// Set values for particular fields of the query
hero = humanHero {
firstName = "John"
age = 42
}
}
assertEquals("John", data.hero.firstName)
assertEquals(42, data.hero.age)
}
In this example, the hero field is a Human object with specified values for firstName and age. The values for lastNameand height are automatically populated with mock values.
You can replace humanHero above with droidHero to create a Droid object instead, or specify otherHero to create an object that is neither a Human nor a Droid.
Configuring default field values
To assign default values to fields, test builders use an implementation of the TestResolver interface. By default, they use an instance of DefaultTestResolver.
The DefaultTestResolver gives each String field the field's name as its default value, and it increments a counter as it assigns default values for Int fields. It defines similar default behavior for other types.
You can create your own TestResolver implementation (optionally extending DefaultTestResolver for a head start). You then pass this implementation as a parameter to the Data function, like so:
// A TestResolver implementation that assigns -1 to all Int fields
val myTestResolver = object : DefaultTestResolver() {
override fun resolveInt(path: List<Any>): Int {
return -1
}
}
@Test
fun test() {
val data = HeroForEpisodeQuery.Data(testResolver = myTestResolver) { hero = humanHero {
firstName = "John"
}
}
// Unspecified Int field is -1
assertEquals(-1, data.hero.age)
}

-- Scene: Pandit, Parsons, Tudor Jones, Teixeira, Cohn
There was no scolding last night when
former Citigroup Inc. (C) chairman Richard Parsons spilled red wine
on the white carpet at the Apollo Spring Gala . It happened while Parsons was talking with Citigroup Inc.
Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit and Gabon’s ambassador to
the U.S., Michael Moussa-Adamo . Both were unscathed. Perhaps it was just a sign of a good party. High spirits
had taken hold at the concert. Lionel Richie sang “Three Times
a Lady,” Gladys Knight paid tribute to Etta James with “At
Last,” and Chaka Khan belted “I’m Every Woman.” The gala
raised $1.2 million. At the late-night supper in the white-carpeted tent, Paul Tudor Jones of Tudor Investment Corp. and Maya Harris of the
Ford Foundation said their favorite number was “Jesus Is
Love,” performed by Donnie McClurkin and the Tuskegee Choir.
Richie, inducted into the Apollo Hall of Fame along last night,
recorded it with the Commodores. James was also inducted
posthumously. Pandit, recipient of the gala’s Corporate Award, said he
likes all kinds of music. The CEO also explained that he knows the area around the
Apollo because he went to school a few blocks west. He was
referring to Columbia University , where he earned degrees
including an M.B.A. and a Ph.D. Post-Citi, Parsons said he’s working on the things he
loves, which include reopening the jazz club Minton’s at 118th
Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, in the second quarter of 2013. “The idea is to pair great music with great food and
ambience,” Parsons said. To that end, he added, he’s hired Alexander Smalls, a chef,
restaurateur and former opera singer. Harlem Baseball New York Yankees player Mark Teixeira and Gary Cohn ,
Goldman Sachs (GS) Group Inc.’s president, were part of the dream
team last night that helped Harlem RBI raise $2.3 million to
teach kids baseball. Last year participants had a college
placement rate of 100 percent. “Baseball is a good metaphor for life,” Teixeira said.
“You don’t hit every ball or win every game. What you learn is
to dust yourself off and try again.” Cohn agreed on how sports teach the importance of failure,
“except when I’m coaching little kids,” he said. “Then both
teams win.” Library Gala Meanwhile guests fancifully went back to school at the New
York Public Library Spring Gala. Waiters served peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches on silver
trays. Tabletops were chalkboards, accessorized with cups of
sharpened pencils and erasers. The homework: taking in a concert by Tony Bennett and a
ceremony that awarded teacher and education-reform advocate
Seymour Fliegel with the Brooke Russell Astor Award. TPG-Axon Capital Management’s Beth Kojima was a gala
chairwoman along with library trustees Gayfryd Steinberg and
Susan Morgenthau. The event raised almost $1.4 million. Citymeals Gala At the Citymeals-on-Wheels gala at Rockefeller Center, chef
Michael Cimarusti of the Los Angeles restaurant Providence
served kelp-cured sockeye salmon with crispy buckwheat and
salmon skin. On his home turf, Yuji Fujinaga, the chef of Sea Grill,
offered swordfish pastrami and pickled ramps on a bun. The
secret ingredient: Urfa Bibar, Turkish smoked pepper. The event raised $825,000 to deliver meals to 16,500
homebound elderly in New York City . The Citymeals-on-Wheels fiscal year ends June 30, “so as
of July 1, we start at zero again,” said the organization’s
executive director, Beth Shapiro. The annual private fundraising
goal is $18 million. Muse highlights include Craig Seligman on books and Peter
Rainer on movies. To contact the reporter on this story:

Monday, July 1st 2019, 1:39 pm - The region is familiar with extreme weather, but this event was particularly unusual
While temperatures are usually in the high 20s and low 30s during this time of year in Guadalajara, an unusual storm brought a shocking surprise - over 1.5 metres of ice was dumped on the region after a severe hailstorm tracked through on June 29.
Footage shows trucks attempting to drive through the roads swallowed by ice, and many drivers had to abandon their vehicles when they could no longer break through the thick hail.
The government has stated that the Mexican Army is assisting with relief efforts and the mayor has stated that citizens whose homes have been affected will receive support.
Weather Network meteorologist Nadine Powell says that hail is not common in tropical climates, especially to this extent. She explains that a number of atmospheric conditions resulted in this extreme weather event including high CAPE (convective available potential energy) values, which is essentially the amount of energy in the atmosphere that is available for storms to develop, grow, and maintain themselves.
"Typically, the higher the CAPE value, the better the potential for stronger storms and bigger hail. Conditions aloft would have also needed to be colder than normal, and the environment would have had to maintain itself for a considerable length of time to produce such a prolific amount of hail," says Powell. | FINEWEB-EDU |

A rumored, never confirmed album title for Debby Ryan's debut album, that has yet to materialize. Quasy Boy 22:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
* Delete could easily mean the high life, or the rich life. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
* Weak keep So long as it's a possible title for the album and there's no other article which could plausibly be the intended target, I don't think this does any harm. – hysteria18 (talk) 16:00, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
List of banks of the United States of America

No such list exists in the target. Nor is there any reason to. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:48, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
* This page has history going back for years. It used to be the list of banks. It was a monstrous and unmaintainable list. The effort to build the page was finally shut down and turned into a redirect because there was reasonable consensus that the page was unworkable. The page can't be deleted, however, because of the liklihood that content was used in other pages. For compliance with GFDL and CC-BY-SA, the conservative approach is to keep the pagehistory. Hiding it behind a redirect like this seems entirely reasonable to me. The redirect is neither confusing nor harmful and has created no controversy in the almost 4 years it's been a redirect. Keep both for the pagehistory and to avoid link rot. Note: I would also be okay with turning this into a cross-namespace redirect to Category:Banks of the United States. I believe some of the content was used to find and tag the articles in that category and that is a list (or at least, a list of lists) that the reader might be looking for. Rossami (talk) 23:29, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
* Comment shouldn't it be tagged with R from merge and R unprintworthy ? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:14, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
* Keep due to the page history/merge issue. Furthermore, given the proven difficulty of maintaining a list under this title, the long history of this title's existence, and the fact that someone looking for a list of banks wouldn't be thoroughly unsatisfied by the target article, we'll be better off keeping the redirect than we would either deleting it or restoring the list.

Change to disambiguation page: there are two aircraft this could refer to, the target & the Howard Wright 1910 biplane: I'm not sure if I can simply overwrite the page myself TheLongTone (talk) 19:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

* → Template:Infobox musical artist (links to redirect • [ history] • ) [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
No reason to have a redirect that adds a "2" after the infobox's name. I suggest delete. Magioladitis (talk) 13:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
* Delete. This was because there were once two forms of the template and one supplanted the other.. However, everything has been overwritten properly, so no history will be lost. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't follow the Infobox xxxxx scheme. Most likely all Wikipedia editors are now familiar with this scheme and this template will remain unused. Magioladitis (talk) 13:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

The result was keep. Rcsprinter (whisper) 19:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't follow the Infobox xxxxx scheme. Most likely all Wikipedia editors are now familiar with this scheme and this template will remain unused. Magioladitis (talk) 13:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
* Keep. Redirects are cheap. This redirect has plenty of incoming links and transclusions (though not in the mainspace). Don't see how deleting would be beneficial. Jenks24 (talk) 08:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

* The result of the discussion was Speedily delete all per WP:CSD (pages dependent on a deleted page). As a normal editorial actions I have created as a redirect to Bailiff and marked it as a, others are obviously free to create new redirects at these titles if they know of suitable targets.
