and several of those in L. Natter's ‘Treatise on the Ancient Method of Engraving on Precious Stones,’ 1754. He also engraved portraits of George III and Queen Charlotte, Peter Collinson, F.R.S., John Wilkes, George Edwards the naturalist, after Dandridge; Thomas Gray the poet, after Eccardt (intended to form the frontispiece to his ‘Poems,’ 1753, but suppressed); and some of those in Smollett's ‘History.’ He engraved in mezzotint a portrait of William Barrowby, M.D., after F. Hayman. Furthermore he painted landscapes, which, as well as some of his engravings, he exhibited with the Society of Arts and at the Royal Academy from 1762 to 1788. Though the date of his death is unknown, it was probably soon after 1789, and almost certainly before 1794.
Miller engraved his own portrait with that of Linnæus on the frontispiece of his ‘Illustration of the Sexual System,’ 1777.
He was twice married, and had in all twenty-seven children, two of his sons, John Frederick and James Müller or Miller, becoming known as draughtsmen, and as frequent exhibitors of topographical views at the Society of Artists. The former accompanied Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander to Ireland in 1772 as a draughtsman, and published in numbers in 1785 ‘Various Subjects of Natural History wherein are delineated Birds, Animals, and many curious Plants: with the parts of fructification of each plant, all of which are drawn and coloured from Nature,’ London, imp. fol. — MILLER, JOHN CALE, D.D. (1814–1880), evangelical divine, only son of John Miller of Margate, Kent, who held a confidential appointment in connection with the American embassy, was born at Margate 11 Oct. 1814. He was educated at Brompton grammar school, matriculated at Oxford from St. John's College 27 March 1832, and was a scholar of Lincoln College from 1834 to 1836, graduating B.A. 1835, M.A. 1838, and B.D. and D.D. 1857. He was ordained to the curacy of Bexley, Kent, in 1837, was assistant curate of Park Chapel, Chelsea, in 1839, and succeeded. Thomas Vores in the sole charge in 1841. His rising reputation as an able and energetic pastor led to his election by the trustees of St. Martin's, Birmingham, to fill the vacancy caused in June 1846 by the resignation of Thomas Moseley. Miller devoted himself energetically to the welfare of Birmingham. A working man's association was established in 1854 on a wider basis than the church educational societies previously in vogue. Hence sprang the working men's parochial mission, a band of working-men missionaries who worked among their neighbours. Miller acquired in a remarkable degree the confidence of the labouring classes, and began in November 1856 in St. Martin's Church special services for them at which he divided the liturgy into three parts so as to obviate iteration and undue length; during the summer season he held open-air services. The tower and spire of St. Martin's Church he restored at a cost of 7,000l., raised by subscription, and for the General Hospital he, in November 1859, organised simultaneous collections on a given Sunday in the churches of Birmingham, by which means the sum of 5,000l. was raised, and the first foundations laid of Hospital Sunday. On 7 March 1866 he was presented by the crown to the vicarage of Greenwich, where he remained till his death. His other appointments were select preacher at Oxford 1867, honorary canon of Worcester August 1852, canon and treasurer 31 Oct. 1871 to 1873, canon of Rochester 1873, and examining chaplain to the Bishop of Rochester 1877. He was a member of the London School Board for Greenwich 29 Nov. 1870 to March 1872. On the platform, as in the pulpit, he was a ready speaker, full of passionate energy. He died in Park Place, Maze Hill, East Greenwich, 11 July 1880, and was buried in Shooter's Hill Cemetery on 16 July.
He married in 1836 Elizabeth, daughter of J. A. Edwards of Winchester, and had issue.
Miller wrote many addresses, lectures, sermons and tracts. His best known books are: 1. ‘Sermons,’ 1838. 2. ‘Sermons preached at Park Chapel, Chelsea,’ 1843. 3. ‘Subjection, no not for an Hour, a Warning to Protestant Christians in behalf of the Truth of the Gospel as now imperilled by the Romish Doctrines of the Tractarian Heresy,’ 1850, 5 editions; a work which evoked several printed replies. 4. ‘Bible Inspiration Vindicated, an Essay on “Essays and Reviews,”’ 1861. 5. ‘A Hymn Book for the Church of England Sunday Schools,’ 1862, 2 editions. 6. ‘Death Words of a Noble Woman [Lady A. F. E. Stanley],’ 1876, 2 parts. 7. ‘Letters to a Young Clergyman,’ 1878.

Ferroselite
Orthorhombic ferroselite and its isometric polymorph dzharkenite are iron selenides of general formula FeSe2 precipitated under reducing conditions in anoxic environments. They are a source of selenium in the Rocky Mountains where selenium occurrence is associated with Upper Cretaceous shale deposits.
In the frame of safety assessment calculations made for deep disposal of high-level radioactive waste, ferroselite and dzharkenite are also considered in geochemical calculations as one of the mineral phases limiting the solubility of Selenium-79.
Names
Dzharkenite's type locale is in the Suluchekinskoye Se-U deposit in the Dzharkenskaya Depression of the Middle Ili River, Almaty Province, in southeastern Kazakhstan. It was discovered in 1995 and named after the depression.
Ferroselite was first reported in 1955 for an occurrence in the Ust’-Uyuk uranium deposit in Tuva, Siberia. Its name comes from the Latin ferro (iron) and "sel" for selenium. | WIKI |
Cat’s teeth are so sharp they could slice through your eyeballs
Posted September 19, 2018 08:18:17 A cat that has a rare genetic condition that makes it able to break through bone has been discovered.
The cat, named Koko, was discovered in the mountains of New South Wales in the south-west of Australia.
Koko’s owner said it was the first time he had seen a cat with such a genetic defect, and his hope was that the condition would one day lead to a cat of its own.
He said he and his wife Kiki would not have any problem sharing the family pet.
“We’ll take care of Koko,” he said.
There are now more than 60,000 cats in the world, and scientists have a few theories about what causes the rare condition, which causes the cat’s teeth to grow in very unusual patterns.
One theory is that the gene for the disorder, called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, is a part of the DNA sequence of many animals, including cats.
But it is not clear how that mutation affects the cat and how it would affect the cat in its lifetime.
Scientists say the condition affects just a handful of cats, but Koko’s parents have since had several of their kittens tested for Osteogenic Imperfectus.
This is the first confirmed case of Osteopathy Imperfector in Australia, and researchers hope to identify more genes that contribute to the condition.
A genetic mutation that causes Osteosis Imperfecti in cats is also known as Osteoglossia.
In some cats, the Osteopathic Imperfections can result in the teeth being too long or short, which can lead to problems such as gingivitis and dental problems.
Osteogenesis is also caused by a gene mutation in the OSA gene. | FINEWEB-EDU |
A view of accupressure--
Why do EFT and TAT
(Acupressure) Work?
The ancient theory about why acupressure and acupuncture work, is that there is energy called "chi" which circulates in the body, that the energy gets jammed at certain points, and that the treatment corrects the energy.
I don't personally believe that this is true. However, I do suspect that there are nerve connections in these places, which lead to specific areas in the brain, which also control other functions, going forward (away from the brain. They are described by acupuncturists as relating to various organs.) Somehow, stimulating that area of the brain causes a change relating to certain emotions, or even relating to physical pain.
Though there appears to be no connection between say, an eyebrow and an emotion, consider the effect of tickling a rib. There is no logical connection between ribs and laughter, but one laughs just the same.
My "wild guess" as to how it works is to consider the vagus nerve, which exits the skull behind the ear, passes under the jaw, and from there branches out to connections with every organ of the body. Of course, it connects to points in the brain, too, and likely pressing, tapping, or sticking pins in certain points on the way may have a backward-direction effect, going to the brain. It is already established that it has effects on the organs of the body.
Humans are the only primates which experience a "diving reflex." Cold water in the face causes a lot of body changes, which prepare one for swimming. Marine animals, such as seals, also have this reflex. Monkeys and apes do not.
Click here -- http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Mammalian_diving_reflex (Mammalian Diving Reflex)
How does the diving reflex work? Nobody knows, but it is known that it starts at the face, connects to the brain, and proceeds to alter a lot of body processes.
Likewise, other experiences in the body may make a connection with the brain. One way to remove a headache is to pinch the web between the thumb and index finger, and massage it. Another way is to use your thumbnail to press against the knuckle of the opposite thumb, on the side away from the hand. If you press on the right spot, it will make you feel light headed. So, what does the thumb have to do with a headache?
In fact, the vagus nerve leaves the brain just behind the ear, moves down the neck behind and then under the jaw, and then spreads out to reach all of the internal organs. At the same time, the theory of acupressure, acupuncture, and reflexology connects points on the outside of the body with the internal organs. So that suggests a link from those points, to the organs, and also directly back to the brain.
My view is that the negative emotions are created by conscious and unconscious memories. The unconscious memories are not recalled when they affect you, but they stimulate your emotions just the same, as if a childhood event were happening all over again.
They lie dormant until a current event reminds your unconscious (or sub-conscious) mind of them, and then they become active. If the connections between those memories and your brain centers of emotion are broken, then current events no longer affect you as strongly.
WHAT ABOUT THE "REVERSAL?"
Sometimes a condition seems not to be treated, due to a condition called a "reversal." This is treated in 3 possible ways, the easiest being tapping the "karate chop spot," or rubbing the tender spot at the side of the breastbone.
It is my guess that the reversal is caused by certain memories which are more traumatic than others, and which connect very strongly with pain centers. They interfere with treatment of other memories, with a behavioral message of, "don't dare ever forget this lesson, or it may happen again." Some degree of treatment happens as we sleep, during "rapid eye movement" (REM sleep.) Except when it is blocked in this way, and pain is not reduced by sleep.
WHAT ABOUT A DELAYED REVERSAL?
Sometimes a treatment is effective, but the next day the symptoms return. This is called a delayed reversal, and is treated by rubbing a spot on the chest. (Down 3" from the soft spot on the throat, and sideways 3" beside the breastbone. The spot will be tender to the touch.)
Through the art of hypnoanalysis, in which one is regressed to earlier times in his life, one discovers that a symptom is caused by two sets of memories: Precipitating memories and Sensitizing memories. The sensitizing memories have not caused a symptom, until a more recent event happened. Several of the stronger memories add up until the last event results in a symptom. The precipitating memories will all be stronger in feeling, but only one need be more recent than the others.
Sometimes, treating the precipitating memories results in no symptom after that, though a person remains primed for a symptom if a similar negative event should happen again. However, sometimes the sensitizing memories by themselves can result in a symptom after that has happened once, even though those memories alone had not originally had that effect.
The obvious solution is to treat the sensitizing memories. The precipitating memories may have had a "bottom-line, behavioral result," or "command effect" about them, obstructing treatment of the sensitizing memories. Consequently, when the first treatment was done, the sensitizing memories were not directly affected.
Also, treating for reversal, or for delayed reversal, neutralizes that effect of "command" by treating blocking memories, and allows the sensitizing memories to be treated. Blocking memories suggest a message of, "Don't dare remove the effect of those memories. They prevent this from happening again." However, the ancient event that created them is now obsolete. It may have been an adult scolding or punishing you when you were a small child. You don't need defense against that now.
Of course, using EFT or TAT, this is done in a period of minutes, whereas with hypnoanalysis, it might have been done over a series of several sessions, perhaps taking the full hour each session.
WHY DO "SENSITIZING MEMORIES" PRODUCE SYMPTOMS WITHOUT THE "PRECIPITATING MEMORIES," IF THEY HAD NOT DONE SO BEFORE?
Precipitating memories suddenly cause a symptom to begin for the first time, even though other memories (sensitizing memories) had been stacking up for a long while. Either the pain in the precipitating memory is greater, or the stack eventually became too tall to tolerate.
Eventually, one can treat the precipitating memories alone, and the sensitizing memories continue to create the symptom. Why?
The answer to that question is a matter of speculation. However, it may be that the symptom may have had a reinforcing (rewarding) effect, even though it may feel unpleasant to your conscious mind. For example, a person who fears meeting new people may have his fear reinforced if his fear prevents him from meeting people, thus lowering his earlier anxiety. His inner mind learns that his symptom results in his not having to meet people, and not feeling the anxiety.
Then, when his precipitating memories are removed of their emotional charge, those memories which had earlier been simply sensitizing memories, with no effect by themselves, continue to produce the symptom, because that effect has been reinforced (rewarded) by experience.
Very likely though, one will notice that the effect is weaker, because the emotion on those memories is weaker than that of the precipitating memories.
DON'T I NEED THESE MEMORIES?
Firstly, treatment doesn't cause you to lose those memories. In fact, you have probably forgot most of them, anyway, such as a day when you were scolded at age two. Treatment simply removes the connections which those memories make, which stimulate inner pain reactions, and consequently, symptoms.
Though you don't consciously recall the narrative of the past events, your inner mind (subconscious mind) recalls them clearly, and the connection which they make with emotion affects your conscious emotions. That is often the only current awareness you have of them.
These memories are obsolete, and conditions which created them no longer exist. If we remove the connections which they make with inner pain, (fear, sadness, etc.) those connections are no longer protective in any way, and their removal is only a benefit.
That is, what was true for a three-year-old is no longer true for an adult. Touching Mom's favorite lamp really doesn't prove you're a horrible person, and about to be severely scolded or punished. You'd may as well lose the feelings associated with that idea, which may be provoked if, for instance, you make a minor mistake in adult life.
If we treat the memories which obstruct treatment, by very simply tapping the hand, then we are then able to treat the others after that.
WOULDN'T REMOVAL OF CERTAIN EMOTIONS CAUSE ME TO LOSE REASONABLE CAUTION?
Flatly, no. The treatments don't make you stupid. There are many reasons why you don't sit on a busy freeway, jump into the ocean, or leap from tall buildings. Strong emotion from painful experiences eons ago is not needed to prevent you from doing foolish things.
You have learned many lessons since then, and a rational understanding of your environment is sufficient to prevent you from doing dangerous things. Consider that we usually "get over" negative events in time, on our own. After some time has passed, a past event is usually not so disturbing as it was at first.
It may be that treatment of memories is a natural function, which happens when we sleep. However, if we wake up before a dream is finished, or if we sleep very lightly, it may not happen, and we keep our strong emotions much longer than we otherwise would. If this is the case, then treating by other methods, such as acupressure, simply augments a process intended by nature to happen even without therapy.
Of course, none of this would be possible if the potential in our bodies were not there to begin with. If it is there at all, there must be a natural reason for it's existence.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD PREVENT ME FROM BEING ABLE TO USE THESE TECHNIQUES (TAT OR EFT)?
Yes. If you are unable to raise your arms to your head, and if you are also unwilling for another person to touch you, that would prevent treatment, at least by that method. Also, if you have long nails, that would make it difficult to touch the inside corners of your eyes, for example. It is possible to tap with the flat of your fingers, though with less force.
One of the methods, EFT, involves tapping. You might tap the ends of your eyebrows or under your eyes, for example. Tapping under your eyes with long nails involves a risk of poking yourself in the eye, though you can point your nails toward your nose to avoid this.
HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT LAST?
Some people ask this, and it is always puzzling. People do not ask that question of counseling, for example, nor do they expect a single session of counseling to solve all their problems. For that matter, how long does exercise or brushing your teeth last? Is that a reason to refuse it?
After terminating counseling, a person might come back later and re-enter counseling, for similar or other problems. Likewise, with gestalt therapy, transactional analysis, cognative-behavioral therapy, or any other therapy, people don't reject the therapy because their problem is not totally banished after a single session.
Likewise with medications, one knows that he takes the medication until the problem is resolved and does what he needs it to do. He doesn't ask why a single antidepressant capsule doesn't permanently cure his depression, or a single Tylenol doesn't guarantee he will never have another headache.
TAT, EFT or EMDR are likely to provide rapid and major improvement in one session. That is not a guarantee that your problem is completely gone, though it is sometimes possible. Problems have many aspects, and as each aspect is treated, another which has always been there, shows itself, like peeling an onion.
Let's suppose your problem is with a parent, or childhood experiences with them. If you remember a disturbing incident, you might treat it until the strength of emotion is zero. However, you have had hundreds of encounters with that parent, and other encounters may be disturbing for different reasons. Either they constitute a separate offense that wasn't treated the first time, or they pulled up (accessed, contacted) a different set of unconscious memories at the time, that were not treated when you worked on a different incident.
Also for example, after a person treats "being afraid," he may say that he feels angry toward the source of his fear. He had always felt angry, but had not seen that because of his anxiety. His anger can also be treated.
It is likely that as he goes through the week, he will have experiences that will remind him of the remaining degree of his problem. If he can describe this to the therapist, then remaining aspects of his problem can be treated.
Where addiction is concerned, it is likely that the craving will drop to zero and return later. However, it will take longer than before to return, and will be weaker when it does.
Then, he is treated again and again, until the craving is eventually weakened to zero.
However, there is no good reason to ask, "How long does one treatment last," unless one would ask that of all other therapies also. Smoking can reverse the effect of treatment. The solution to that is to not smoke after treatment. EFT and TAT also treat smoking, by the way. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The Anti-Ageing Effects of B12
B 12
Vitamin B12 deficiency is a public health problem, especially among older people.Older individuals with low levels of vitamin B12 are at increased risk of having brain atrophy or shrinkage. Brain atrophy is associated with Alzheimer's disease and impaired cognitive function. In a study involving more than 100 volunteers aged 61 to 87, all participants underwent annual clinical exams, MRI scans and cognitive tests, and had blood samples taken. Individuals with lower vitamin B12 levels at the start of the study had a greater decrease in brain volume. Those with the lowest B12 levels had a sixfold greater rate of brain volume loss compared with those who had the highest levels.

Healthy Ageing
Ageing is also known as senescence. In general, aging is characterised by the declining ability to respond to stress, increased homeostatic imbalance and increased risk of age related diseases. Death is the ultimate consequence of aging, though "old age" is not a scientifically recognised cause of death because there is always a specific cause, such as cancer, heart disease, or liver failure. Herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, dietary and lifestyle approaches can address the effects of aging by activating telomerase, restoring autophagic activity and maximising digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients to extend life, without the use of pharmacological drugs.

Cosmetic Acupuncture for Facial Rejeuvenation
cosmetic acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture has been practiced in China for thousands of centuries. Early records date back to the Qin and the Song Dynasties. In those days, cosmetic acupuncture was the best beauty treatment available to the Empress and to the Emperor’s Concubines. With the exposure of TCM to the western world, cosmetic acupuncture has become widely available and is now practised around the world. Cosmetic acupuncture is the new botox A-list celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Sean Connery and Madonna all swear by what is being described as a holistic alternative to Botox, claiming cosmetic acupuncture helps them look younger while boosting their health and well-being.

Why is it that some of us are better at aging gracefully than others? Take Helen Mirrin or Michelle Pfeiffer for example. Not a jowl or turkey neck in sight! Does it merely come down to genes and bone structure or is there something we can do to slow down or even reverse the ageing process? Most celebrities are obsessed with anti-ageing and include supplements herbs and cosmetic acupuncture in their beauty routines. To understand how we can help reverse the ageing process we need to look skin deep.

How plants prepare for winter
Image: Winter spruce, CC-0 via Pixabay.com
Note: This is a science outreach piece belonging to a series I wrote for the newsletter of the Fredericton Botanic Garden. I’d be happy to see it modified for use elsewhere and so am posting the text here under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license . If you use it, though, I’d appreciate hearing where and how.
Winter is here, and you’ve probably been getting yourself, and your home and garden, ready. Our Garden is making its own preparations. Our plants can’t head inside, or put on parkas and tuques, so they have to be ready to be cold. And there’s a lot more to that than meets the eye.
There are actually two problems that plants need to solve in winter. One is damage to tissues that freeze. The other is the desiccation that results when tissues containing water are exposed to low and fluctuating temperatures – the same desiccation we see as “freezer burn” in frozen food. How do plants get through the winter in the face of these threats?
Desiccation is perhaps the lesser problem. Most of the water lost from a plant is lost through the stomata (pores) of its leaves, when they’re open to let in the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis. In winter, most plants simply don’t photosynthesize (with limited exceptions in evergreens). This means they can drop their leaves (deciduous trees and shrubs), die back to ground level and regrow in the spring (herbaceous perennials), or close the stomata and retain water inside leaves coated with thick, waxy, water-impermeable cuticles (evergreen trees). Problem solved – at the cost, of course, of reversing these changes come spring.
But for trees and shrubs that keep tissue aboveground all winter, escaping freeze damage is not so easy. Our plants have a toolkit, though, and in various ways they either avoid freezing even when it’s cold, or control where and how freezing happens.
How can a plant avoid freezing, when it contains so much liquid water? The same way our cars’ windshield-washer fluid reservoirs do: antifreeze. The simplest approach, if you’re a plant, is just to store lots of sugar in your cells. Water with more dissolved solutes has a lower freezing point (which is why diet pop will freeze in your garage, while sugared pop won’t), so cells with more sugar don’t freeze as quickly. Sugars are normal and common molecules in plants, so they’re easy to recruit for this function, but many plants take this a step further with specialized antifreeze proteins that are synthesized as temperatures drop. In spruce needles, antifreeze protein molecules coat tiny ice crystals and cloak them with a water-repellant surface, preventing their growth and keeping tissue water liquid down to at least -15 °C. (Actually, antifreezes are a common strategy for life in the cold: Arctic fish, overwintering insects, and many others use them to stay liquid. The results can be spectacular, for example in the larvae of one goldenrod gall moth, which in winter can be 20% glycerol by weight, and so remain unfrozen at -40 °C!)
Most plants do freeze, though, when it gets cold enough (or at least, they freeze partly). And if ice crystals are going to form inside your body, it’s best if they form in ways that don’t rip you apart. So that’s the other strategy our plants use: controlling the “nucleation sites” around which ice crystals form. Spruce antifreeze proteins are one way of doing this: by cloaking ice crystals as they form, they steer the plant toward having many tiny ice crystals – which is much less destructive than having a few large jagged ones ripping apart membranes, cells, and tissues. Plants also control the location of ice nucleation, so that when crystals do form, they form between cells (in cell walls and intercellular spaces), rather than inside cells where they could do severe damage.
So: when your nose is nipped by this winter’s cold, stop to admire the hardiness of our Garden’s shrubs and trees. And admire, too, the astonishing innovations that evolution can produce, when pressed by need and given a little time.

Here in Germany is no winter at all, feeling more like 5 days before Eastern at the moment. Quite strange, however, I am most fascinated by plants and would like ro recommend the book “Brilliant green” by Stefano Mancuso/Alessandro Viola in this regard dealing with the intelligence of plants.

This is an excellent post, thanks for the insight. I’m wondering where the so-called ‘anti-freeze proteins’ are formed and where they are particularly prevalent? Are they mainly in the vascular cambium?

an exchange of cards; and on the one which he handed me I read the name "Roger Brathwaite"; no address being given, although I learned from him that he resided in one of those old wards, once fashionable, where still a few old-fashioned people of means live in commodious old dwellings, and refuse to be crowded out by factory and warehouse, be they never so lofty and noisy by day, never so lonely and gloomy by night.
Some three weeks later, I met Brathwaite in the street, and in walking with him, for a few blocks, learned that he had been a friend of my grandfather—whose name I bore in full. He told me that he had been inquiring concerning me, of my employers, and of others; and that he had had such good reports that he wished me to call upon him the next afternoon, at the address which he now gave, and where, he remarked, he wished to make a business proposition which might be to my advantage.
It is needless to say that before the hour appointed, I bent my steps towards the place of meeting.

Western Australia Screen Culture Awards
The Western Australia Screen Culture Awards, also known as the WA Screen Culture Awards or WASCAs, acknowledge innovation and contributions in a wide range of screen-related artistic areas, where the work was created in Western Australia or by West Australians. The awards, launched in 2020, succeed a previous West Australian screen award series, and are presented annually.
Purpose
The awards recognize outstanding innovation, independent spirit and contributions in the areas of contemporary short, feature and documentary filmmaking, television, computer games, VR, AR, gallery-based moving image, installations, projections and other intersections with screen and moving image forms, created in Western Australia, or by West Australians.
History
The awards were launched, by the producers of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival, under chairperson Richard Sowada, in 2020. The promoters had support from the Australian and West Australian governments. They represent a "reimagining" and expansion of the WA Screen Awards, which had been canceled in 2016. The award ceremony has taken place each year at the Luna Cinemas in Leederville.
Trophies
The first-year trophy was a glass circle with an engraving. In 2021 filmmaker, screen industry advocate and previous WASCA winner, Ryan Hodgson, worked with Geographik, Squarepeg Home and Artcom Fabrication to create new trophies, he stated "I wanted to use a local, sustainable material for the trophy, and I settled on a Western Australian hardwood because timber can be fashioned into things of great beauty or practical, hardwearing things. That struck me as a good metaphorical fit for our local screen industry and its diverse and eclectic output."
Event format
The awards night is held annually in December, and the awards are presented by the Revelation International Film Festival, with the first year book-ending the festival when it had to move from its regular spot in July because of the Covid pandemic.
Nominations and winners
Entry to the awards is, as of 2022, run through an external platform, File Freeway. Entry generally opens in August and closes in October and is open to any project completed within the 12 months prior. The rules state that up to 5 projects will be nominated for each award.

Easter island is a speck of land thousands of kilometres from any other inhabited island. The monumental stone heads are known as moai. Easter island has never had large cities or even large populations. The island has no particular material wealth, and its inhabitants were not in contact with any of its neighbours until europeans reached there in 1722. Competing leaders erected the moai during periods of prosperity: competition between chiefs fuelled a cycle of construction of monuments. The ruins of structures built by societies that fried would define as ranked or stratified and. None produce evidence of the centralized bureaucracy that characterizes the state: 10. 1 northwest coast (page 274) Tlingit, haida, tsimshian, kwakiutl, nuu-chah-nulth (nootka), and coast salish. These were societies of hunter gatherers whose subsistence was based largely on fishing, particularly salmon and collecting shellfish. The societies were divided into nobles, commoners, and slaves that lived in settlements of large houses build of wooden plants. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Australian bushfires scathe sanctuary for rare bee species
KANGAROO ISLAND, Australia (Reuters) - Bees swarm around Peter Davis as he unloads his precious, buzzing cargo into their new home in a part of South Australia’s Kangaroo Island that was not devastated by recent bushfires. After losing almost half of his 1,200 hives of Ligurian bees to the blazes on the island, Davis hopes relocating the remainder to unburnt forest and a food supply of eucalypt sugar gums will save them. Kangaroo Island, about 15,000 km away from the Ligurian bees’ ancestral home of Italy, is believed to host the world’s last genetically pure population of the species. The bees were imported to South Australia in 1885 and officials banned the introduction of any other bee species or honey since, making it a sanctuary for Ligurian bees. Italy’s pure stock of the bees was wiped out due to interbreeding and disease. Bushfires burnt a third of Kangaroo Island over New Year, killing two people and destroying an estimated quarter of the island’s 4,000 Ligurian hives as well as the eucalypts that feed the bees. “The main tree for food at this time of the year is the Sugar Gum, Eucalyptus cladocalyx, that grows all along the North Coast which has been devastated by fire,” another Kangaroo Island Ligurian honey producer, David Clifford, told Reuters. “So we are not going to get a honey supply from that this year and it will take 15 years for it to recover.” While Clifford’s bees escaped the flames, he said the insects appeared “very disorientated” and “more aggressive” than usual after they were relocated. Davis said the destruction has lost him about 20 tonnes of honey for this season alone and cost him an estimated A$500,000 ($340,000) including lost production from the surviving hives. Ligurian honey is used to make a range of high-end products including hand creams and candles. Davis was only able to start moving his hives to a safer home this week, having spent the last few weeks fighting fires. “We have been trying to protect neighbors, trying to protect houses, livestock,” he said. Davis urged the government to lift restrictions on the island that ban farmers from reducing fuel loads in bushland areas through preemptive burning. “We wouldn’t have lost farms and houses like we have if we had been allowed to burn and use fire as a management tool,” he said.

[url], [input], and [convertchars] assure proper formatting and interpretation of text
[convertchars db=somedb.db][value][/convertchars]
Convertchars is a useful context for converting characters, and especially valuable because it gives you the additional ability of defining your own conversions. It is used primarily for displaying your database values on the browser page, and will make sure upper ASCII characters display properly. Used without a specified database, it will convert a short list of common characters, such as curly quotes into straight quotes, and < and > into their html counterparts (to prevent people from forcing html code into forms). The conversions are pulled from the StandardConversions.db in the globals folder (you can amend this database).
But its secondary use is to clean data. I have created several databases for specific purposes. For instance, I have one called allowhtml.db which does not convert the < and > characters; another called noillegals.db for stripping out spaces, &, # and a host of other characters people sometimes use in filenames. A conversion database can be called anything and located anywhere, but must have these two specified fields: from and to.
Example:
Item Description: [convertchars][desc][/convertchars]
[text]cleanfilename=[convertchars db=noillegals.db][filename][/convertchars][/text]
(used as part of an uploading process)
Example using a table:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
é e
è e
ê e
ë e
û u
ù u
ü u
î i
í i
ï i
ó o
ü u
Ú U
Ó O
Í I
ñ n
Ñ N
É E
È E
ç c
à a
Á A
à a
á a
Ê E
À A
[/table]
The word "café" would be converted into "cafe" using:
[convertchars table=t1]café[/convertchars]
ParameterDescription
db(Required) path to conversion database which contains list of "from" and "to" conversions of words to other words
tableIn place of a db file, you can specify a named reference to a WebDNA table object.
case(Optional) T or F to indicate that word comparisons should be case-sensitive or not. Default is F, case-insensitive
word(Optional) SS, WW, SW to indicate that words should be matched as SubString, Whole Word, or Start of Word, same as [search] parameters (word breaks subchapter) when matching text in a database
delimiters New for WebDNA 5.1
(Optional) List of single characters which define word boundaries.
Some handy uses for [convertwords] include removing foul language from online message boards, spelling out acronyms, changing nicknames to full names, inserting hyperlinks, and expanding glossary terms. The following conversion database may give you some ideas:

Added by Brian Fries:
There's a bit more to the issue here than just switching to convertwords, and I think it's worth looking at deeper...
[convertchars] is actually perfectly fine with replacing one character with multiple characters. If you want to replace a multiple character string with one or more other characters, then [convertwords] is the tool of choice.
[convertchars] does two relevant things differently than [convertwords]:
1) convertchars automatically UNURLs the TO and FROM fields in the table, so "%26" is treated as an "&" character rather than the literal "%26"
2) convertchars treats a "+" in the "to" field like a space
There are reasons for these differences. The UNURLing of TO and FROM allows specification of invisible characters that you may need to strip out of or add to a data source. The + to SPACE mapping is a bit more esoteric, but I would bet the internal WebDNA program uses (or maybe "used") the same block of code for interpreting query parameters in a URL - the stuff after the ? - where spaces are mapped to + characters by the browser. For example "http://example.com/thispage.dna?user+name=Jane+Doe" gets a formvariable named "user name" with a value of "Jane Doe".
To illustrate convertchars vs. convertwords, I spent time working out these examples...
Example 1:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
& %26
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L John & Joanna + Jane
WORDS: L John %26 Joanna + Jane
Notes:
The & was replaced in both cases, but for convertchars it was replaced with & instead of literally %26
Example 2:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
%26 %2526
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L John %26 Joanna + Jane
WORDS: L John & Joanna + Jane
Notes:
convertchars treats the "to" value of "%26" as the character "&", and the "from" value of "%2526" as "%26" (after unurling %25 to %)
convertwords treated "%26" literally as "%26", so it did not find and replace the & character
Example 3:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
+ %252B
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L%2BJohn%2B&%2BJoanna%2B+%2BJane
WORDS: L John & Joanna %252B Jane
Notes:
convertchars treats the "to" value of "+" as the SPACE character, so all spaces were replaced with %2526, unurled to %2B, and the "+" character was not replaced
convertwords treated the to and from as entered, replacing "+" with, literally, "%2526"
Example 4:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
%2B %252B
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L John & Joanna %2B Jane
WORDS: L John & Joanna + Jane
Notes:
convertchars treats the "to" value of "%2B" as the "+" character, so "+" was replaced with %2526, unurled to %2B, and spaces were not replaced
convertwords found no literal "%2B" strings to replace
Example 5:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
' %27
+ %2B
# %23
% %25
& %26
! %21
" %22
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L+John+&+Joanna+++Jane
WORDS: L John %26 Joanna %2B Jane
Notes:
This is Michael's original example (with " + Jane" added to the source string).
convertchars treats the "to" value of "+" as the SPACE character, so:
all spaces were replaced with %2B, unurled to "+"
the "&" character was replaced with %26, unurled back to the "&" character
the "+" character was not replaced
convertwords treated the to and from as entered, so:
spaces were not changed
the "&" character was replaced with %26
the "+" character was replaced with %2B
So, in this case, the results of convertwords represent the desired outcome
Example 6:
[table name=t1&fields=from,to]
' %2527
%2B %252B
# %2523
% %2525
& %2526
! %2521
" %2522
[/table]
CHARS: [convertchars table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertchars]
WORDS: [convertwords table=t1]L John & Joanna + Jane[/convertwords]
Results:
CHARS: L John %26 Joanna %2B Jane
WORDS: L John %2526 Joanna + Jane
Notes:
From example 5, the "+" from value was replaced with "%2B" and the from "%" characters were replaced with "%25"
convertchars treats the "to" value of "%2B" as the "+" character, so:
all spaces were left alone
the "&" character was replaced with the desired "%26", after unurling "%25" to "%"
the "+" character was replaced with the desired "%2B"
convertwords treated the to and from as entered, so:
spaces were not changed
the "&" character was replaced with %2526 (not the desired %26)
the "+" character was not replaced
So, in this case, the results of convertchars represent the desired outcome
Example 7:
[grep search=[url]%20[/url]&replace= ][url]L John & Joanna + Jane[/url][/grep]
Results:
L John %26 Joanna %2B Jane
Notes:
I'm not sure of the specifics of the desired mapping beyond what is shown, but if it is to URL everything except space characters, as it appears, then using the built in URL then reverting %20 to the space character does the trick in one line.

Russian national to pay $6.9M for creating infamous banking virus | TheHill
A Russian man who has spent three years behind bars in the U.S. for masterminding an infamous banking virus on Monday was ordered to pay $6.9 million to cover victims’ losses but will serve no further jail time. Nikita Kuzmin was sentenced to time served in a Manhattan court after pleading guilty in 2011 and agreeing to cooperate with the investigation into the so-called Gozi virus. Kuzmin not only created the virus, according to prosecutors, but he also “pioneer[ed] the model of cybercriminals as service providers for other criminals” by renting it out. The code was responsible for infecting at least 40,000 U.S. computers, including 160 that belonged to NASA. The Department of Justice has called the virus "one of the most financially destructive computer viruses in history.” Gozi stole tens of millions of dollars from bank accounts around the world by smuggling itself onto hard drives in a benign PDF, then collecting bank account usernames, passwords and other security information. Hackers would then use the information to fraudulently transfer money out of victims’ bank accounts. Two other suspects charged in the scheme have also been detained. Latvian national Deniss Calovskis Mihai, credited with writing certain targeting elements of the virus, in January was sentenced to the 21 months in prison he had already served. Ionut Paunescu was arrested in Romania in 2012 but has not appeared in the U.S. to face charges. View the discussion thread.

omp.master (::mlir::omp::MasterOp)
master construct
Syntax:
operation ::= `omp.master` $region attr-dict
The master construct specifies a structured block that is executed by the master thread of the team.
omp.parallel (::mlir::omp::ParallelOp)
parallel construct
The parallel construct includes a region of code which is to be executed by a team of threads.
The optional $if_expr_var parameter specifies a boolean result of a conditional check. If this value is 1 or is not provided then the parallel region runs as normal, if it is 0 then the parallel region is executed with one thread.
The optional $num_threads_var parameter specifies the number of threads which should be used to execute the parallel region.
The optional $default_val attribute specifies the default data sharing attribute of values used in the parallel region that are not passed explicitly as parameters to the operation.
The $private_vars, $firstprivate_vars, $shared_vars and $copyin_vars parameters are a variadic list of values that specify the data sharing attribute of those values.
The $allocators_vars and $allocate_vars parameters are a variadic list of values that specify the memory allocator to be used to obtain storage for private values.
The optional $proc_bind_val attribute controls the thread affinity for the execution of the parallel region.

omp.reduction.declare (::mlir::omp::ReductionDeclareOp)
declares a reduction kind
Syntax:
operation ::= `omp.reduction.declare` $sym_name `:` $type attr-dict-with-keyword `init` $initializerRegion `combiner` $reductionRegion custom<AtomicReductionRegion>($atomicReductionRegion)
Declares an OpenMP reduction kind. This requires two mandatory and one optional region.
1. The initializer region specifies how to initialize the thread-local reduction value. This is usually the neutral element of the reduction. For convenience, the region has an argument that contains the value of the reduction accumulator at the start of the reduction. It is expected to omp.yield the new value on all control flow paths.
2. The reduction region specifies how to combine two values into one, i.e. the reduction operator. It accepts the two values as arguments and is expected to omp.yield the combined value on all control flow paths.
3. The atomic reduction region is optional and specifies how two values can be combined atomically given local accumulator variables. It is expected to store the combined value in the first accumulator variable.
Note that the MLIR type system does not allow for type-polymorphic reductions. Separate reduction declarations should be created for different element and accumulator types.

omp.reduction (::mlir::omp::ReductionOp)
reduction construct
Syntax:
operation ::= `omp.reduction` $operand `,` $accumulator attr-dict `:` type($accumulator)

The target construct includes a region of code which is to be executed on a device.
The optional $if_expr parameter specifies a boolean result of a conditional check. If this value is 1 or is not provided then the target region runs on a device, if it is 0 then the target region is executed on the host device.
The optional $device parameter specifies the device number for the target region.
The optional $thread_limit specifies the limit on the number of threads
The optional $nowait elliminates the implicit barrier so the parent task can make progress even if the target task is not yet completed.

The taskwait construct specifies a wait on the completion of child tasks of the current task.
omp.taskyield (::mlir::omp::TaskyieldOp)
taskyield construct
Syntax:
operation ::= `omp.taskyield` attr-dict
The taskyield construct specifies that the current task can be suspended in favor of execution of a different task.
omp.terminator (::mlir::omp::TerminatorOp)
terminator for OpenMP regions
Syntax:
operation ::= `omp.terminator` attr-dict
A terminator operation for regions that appear in the body of OpenMP operation. These regions are not expected to return any value so the terminator takes no operands. The terminator op returns control to the enclosing op.
omp.wsloop (::mlir::omp::WsLoopOp)
workshare loop construct
The workshare loop construct specifies that the iterations of the loop(s) will be executed in parallel by threads in the current context. These iterations are spread across threads that already exist in the enclosing parallel region. The lower and upper bounds specify a half-open range: the range includes the lower bound but does not include the upper bound. If the inclusive attribute is specified then the upper bound is also included.
The body region can contain any number of blocks. The region is terminated by “omp.yield” instruction without operands.
omp.wsloop (%i1, %i2) : index = (%c0, %c0) to (%c10, %c10) step (%c1, %c1) {
%a = load %arrA[%i1, %i2] : memref<?x?xf32>
%b = load %arrB[%i1, %i2] : memref<?x?xf32>
%sum = addf %a, %b : f32
store %sum, %arrC[%i1, %i2] : memref<?x?xf32>
omp.yield
}
private_vars, firstprivate_vars, lastprivate_vars and linear_vars arguments are variadic list of operands that specify the data sharing attributes of the list of values. The linear_step_vars operand additionally specifies the step for each associated linear operand. Note that the linear_vars and linear_step_vars variadic lists should contain the same number of elements.
Reductions can be performed in a workshare loop by specifying reduction accumulator variables in reduction_vars and symbols referring to reduction declarations in the reductions attribute. Each reduction is identified by the accumulator it uses and accumulators must not be repeated in the same reduction. The omp.reduction operation accepts the accumulator and a partial value which is considered to be produced by the current loop iteration for the given reduction. If multiple values are produced for the same accumulator, i.e. there are multiple omp.reductions, the last value is taken. The reduction declaration specifies how to combine the values from each iteration into the final value, which is available in the accumulator after the loop completes.
The optional schedule_val attribute specifies the loop schedule for this loop, determining how the loop is distributed across the parallel threads. The optional schedule_chunk_var associated with this determines further controls this distribution.
The optional collapse_val attribute specifies the number of loops which are collapsed to form the worksharing loop.
The nowait attribute, when present, signifies that there should be no implicit barrier at the end of the loop.
The optional ordered_val attribute specifies how many loops are associated with the do loop construct.
The optional order attribute specifies which order the iterations of the associate loops are executed in. Currently the only option for this attribute is “concurrent”.

Page:Cricket (Steel, Lyttelton).djvu/381
Rh thanks to Marlborough for the services of Mr. A. G. Steel, by far the greatest player ever turned out by that school, and perhaps the best all-round cricketer that has yet played for either University. Oxford have had more than the due proportion of Wykehamists, for eleven out of the thirteen have played for Oxford. Eleven Cliftonians have played for Oxford, and none for Cambridge; but seven out of eight Uppingham boys have represented Cambridge. Tonbridge, Cheltenham, Charterhouse, and Westminster have each had five players representing them, and on the whole the proportion between Oxford and Cambridge has been about equal.
Of all-round players both Universities have had their full share in numbers, but Oxford has never produced three to equal the famous trio, Makinson, A. G. Steel, and C. T. Studd of Cambridge. When we say this we take as our basis the performances of the three in the University matches, and we do not consider the men who played before 1854, for it is difficult to make fair comparisons over so long a distance of time. The above-mentioned three will be found in the first half-dozen of batsmen and in the first half-dozen of bowlers. Messrs. Makinson, Yardley, Lucas, A. Lyttelton, and A. G. Steel are the best batsmen from Cambridge, and Messrs. Mitchell, Ottaway, Key, and Pauncefote the four best from Oxford. In bowling, the champions from Oxford are Messrs. Marsham, Traill, and Kenney; from Cambridge, Messrs. Plowden, Lang, and A. G. Steel. This is an opinion only, and would have to be considerably altered if we were to take another basis than the Interllniversity match to draw our conclusions from. Mr. Kenney never played for the Gentlemen against the Players, and neither he nor Mr. Plowden could be compared as a bowler to Mr. Kempson, whose performance against the Players is historical. But he failed against Oxford. In the same way Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Ridley and Mr. Lane were each as good as Mr. Pauncefote, but they failed in the Inter-University match and consequently are out of our list.
Neither University can claim a superiority up to the present | WIKI |

Hewitt Bostock
Hewitt Bostock, (May 31, 1864 – April 28, 1930) was a Canadian publisher, businessman and politician.
Early life
He was born in Walton Heath, Epsom, England and studied at Trinity College, Cambridge graduating with honours in mathematics. Bostock then studied law and was called to the bar in 1888. Rather than begin a legal practice he toured North America, Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan before settling in British Columbia in 1893. He purchased the Monte Creek Ranch (also known as the Ducks Ranch) in 1888, taking up residence there in 1894. In addition to the ranch, he also operated a lumber company.
Career
He founded the Province newspaper in 1894. He then entered politics winning election to the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal in the 1896 election, representing the riding of Yale—Cariboo for one term (until the 1900 election).
In 1904, he was appointed to the Senate of Canada by the prime minister, Wilfrid Laurier. A decade later he became Leader of the Opposition in the Canadian Senate. Bostock broke with the Laurier Liberals over the Conscription Crisis of 1917, and became a Liberal-Unionist, campaigning in favour of the Union government of Sir Robert Borden during the 1917 election.
Following World War I, Bostock reconciled with the Liberals and, in 1921, became Minister of Public Works in the Liberal government of William Lyon Mackenzie King. Several months later, in 1922, he became Speaker of the Senate of Canada and held the position until his death in 1930. In 1925, he served as a member of the Canadian delegation to the Assembly of the League of Nations.
There is a Mount Hewitt Bostock (2183 m or 7162 ft) named in his honour in the northern end of the Canadian Cascades, about 20 kilometres northeast of the Fraser Canyon town of Boston Bar, which is in what had been the riding of Yale—Cariboo where his political career began (today in Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon).
His eldest daughter Marian Noel Sherman was a physician in India and a prominent humanist in western Canada. | WIKI |
UPDATE 1-Cricket-India's brilliant Pandya punishes sloppy S.Africa
January 6, 2018 / 2:12 PM / in 21 minutes UPDATE 1-Cricket-India's brilliant Pandya punishes sloppy S.Africa Reuters Staff
* India trail by 101 with seven wickets remaining
* Pandya is unbeaten on 81 after being handed two lives
* South Africa bowled out for 286 on day one (adds details)
By Nick Said
CAPE TOWN, Jan 6 (Reuters) - India all-rounder Hardik Pandya punished sloppy South Africa by smashing a quick-fire half-century to lead the tourists’ revival and take his side to tea at 185 for seven on day two of the opening test at Newlands on Saturday.
India still trail by 101 runs in their first innings after bowling South Africa out for 286 on the first day, but their once perilous position has been vastly improved by some excellent counter-attacking cricket from Pandya.
He will resume on 81 from 68 balls having twice been handed a lifeline by the hosts in what could yet be a game-changing innings as he put on an unbeaten eighth-wicket stand of 93 from just 19.2 overs with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (24).
Cheteshwar Pujara led a stout rearguard of a different kind in the morning session, reaching 26 from 91 balls at lunch, but was out the first ball after the interval as he edged Vernon Philander’s (3-33) delivery to Faf du Plessis at second slip.
When Ravichandran Ashwin (12) and Wriddhiman Saha (zero) followed shortly afterwards India were reeling at 92 for seven, facing a massive first innings deficit on a difficult wicket.
Pandya had his first piece of luck when he was dropped by Dean Elgar at gully off Dale Steyn (2-51) with his score on 15.
With an attacking field set, he was able to manoeuvre the ball into the vast empty spaces on the ground and reached his half-century off just 46 balls with 10 fours.
More good fortune followed when South Africa wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock missed a stumping chance off spinner Keshav Maharaj when Pandya had 71.
The pace of Pandya’s scoring was in stark contrast to the morning session as India simply tried to keep the venomous home seam attack at bay.
After resuming the day on 28 for three, India scored just 17 runs in the opening hour, a mixture of well-judged leaves and the ball whistling past the edge of the bat.
Philander bowled an excellent line and it took the tourists 34 balls to squeeze a run off him, which was all he conceded in a six-over spell.
It was a game of patience for the hosts but they were eventually rewarded when Kagiso Rabada (1-15) trapped Rohit Sharma in front of his wicket for a painstaking 11 from 59 balls.
South Africa host India in three tests this month with the next two to be played in Pretoria and Johannesburg. (Reporting by Nick Said; Editing by Sudipto Ganguly and Ken Ferris) | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Reichenbach Falls
The Reichenbach Falls (Reichenbachfälle) are a waterfall cascade of seven steps on the stream called Rychenbach in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. They drop over a total height of about 250 m. At 110 m, the upper falls, known as the Grand Reichenbach Fall (Grosser Reichenbachfall), is by far the tallest segment and one of the highest waterfalls in the Alps, and among the forty highest in Switzerland. The Reichenbach loses 290 m of height from the top of the falls to the valley floor of the Haslital. Today, a hydroelectric power company harnesses the flow of the Reichenbach Falls during certain times of year, reducing its flow.
In popular literature, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave the Grand (or Great) Reichenbach Fall as the location of the final physical altercation between his hero Sherlock Holmes and his greatest foe, the criminal Professor Moriarty, in "The Final Problem".
Location
The falls are located in the lower part of the Reichenbachtal, on the Rychenbach, a tributary (from the south bank) of the Aare. They are some 1.5 km south of the town of Meiringen, and Interlaken. Politically, the falls are within the municipality of Schattenhalb in the canton of Bern.
The falls are made accessible by the Reichenbach Funicular. The lower station is some 20 minutes walk, or a 6-minute bus ride, from Meiringen railway station on the Brünig railway line that links Interlaken and Lucerne.
Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories
The town and the falls are known worldwide as the setting for a fictional event: it is the location where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's hero, Sherlock Holmes, fights to the death with Professor Moriarty, at the end of "The Final Problem", first published in 1893. A memorial plate at the funicular station commemorates Holmes, and there is also a Sherlock Holmes museum in the nearby town of Meiringen.
Out of many waterfalls in the Bernese Oberland, Reichenbach Falls seems to have made the greatest impression on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was shown them on a Swiss holiday by his host Sir Henry Lunn, the founder of Lunn Poly. Sir Henry's grandson, Peter Lunn, recalled, "My grandfather said 'Push him over the Reichenbach Falls' and Conan Doyle hadn’t heard of them, so he showed them to him." So impressed was Doyle that he decided to let his hero die there.
The actual ledge from which Moriarty fell is on the other side of the falls from the funicular; it is accessible by climbing the path to the top of the falls, crossing the bridge and following the trail down the hill. The ledge is marked by a plaque as illustrated here; the English inscription reads: "At this fearful place, Sherlock Holmes vanquished Professor Moriarty, on 4 May 1891." The pathway on which the duel between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty occurs ends some hundred metres away from the falls. When Doyle viewed the falls, the path ended very close to the falls, close enough to touch it, yet over the hundred years after his visit, the pathway has become unsafe and slowly eroded away, and the falls have receded further back into the gorge.
In other media
The Reichenbach Falls are the subject of several early 19th-century paintings by the English Romantic landscape painter J. M. W. Turner.
The indie band Ravens & Chimes named its debut album (released in 2007) after the falls.
Reichenbach Falls was also the title of a 2008 BBC Four TV drama by James Mavor, based on an idea by Ian Rankin and set in Edinburgh. Numerous historical characters associated with the city, including Conan Doyle and his mentor Dr Joseph Bell, are mentioned in the story.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, a 2011 film adaptation inspired by "The Final Problem", also hosts the falls, although in this adaptation, a large castle has been built over them, replacing the pathway.
The third episode from the 2012 second series of the BBC drama Sherlock, "The Reichenbach Fall" (inspired by "The Final Problem"), is a play on the waterfall's name. The special episode of Sherlock, "The Abominable Bride", which was broadcast on 1 January 2016, featured a re-creation of the showdown between Sherlock and Moriarty set in Victorian times, as depicted in the book.
The final season of the TV series Elementary features a villain named Odin Reichenbach. The next-to-last episode, in which the character meets justice, is titled "Reichenbach Falls". | WIKI |

How does exercise help build healthy bones?
Written by: Dr Taher Mahmud
Published:
Edited by: Top Doctors®
We all know how important exercise is for our body, our weight, and our health in general. Exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart disease, or heart attacks, but did you know that exercise can also reduce your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures? Leading consultant rheumatologist Dr Taher Mahmud, co-founder of the London Osteoporosis Clinic, tells us how.
Why is your bone mass important?
You might not think it, but your bones are living tissue, and it’s vital to keep that tissue healthy and strong. Your bones are constantly renewing, as old bone breaks down, and new tissue grows to form bone mass. While you are young, your bones can grow more quickly than they break down. We usually reach our peak bone mass (which refers to the maximum strength and density of bone) in our mid-30s, so building up a decent store of bone is vital to improving bone health, and preventing conditions such as osteoporosis, and fractures.
How can we improve bone mass?
One way to achieve greater bone mass is through exercise. Those who exercise, particularly when young but also in later life, in general find their bone mass is higher than in those who do not. Exercise certainly helps us to stay healthy and maintain our weight, but it is also essential for building that bone mass.
Even after you reach your peak bone mass, exercise can give you better coordination and balance, and improve your muscle strength, which in turn helps to prevent falls. Falls can cause fractures, which can be incredibly serious in those who already have osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become more fragile.
What kind of exercise is recommended to improve bone mass?
Exercise such as going for a walk, or doing gentle weights can help you to improve your muscle strength, and is great for your circulation and heart, but it isn’t the best kind of exercise for your bones. So what can you do to build those bones and work towards preventing osteoporosis?
The best kind of exercise you can do for your bones is weight-bearing exercise. When you exercise, great force is exerted on your bones and muscles. When a triple jumper flies through the air, and hits the ground, the force on their heel when they land is about 15 times their body weight. Force bends and twists the bones, and they react by growing in size in order to minimise the risk of breaking. Athletes like jumpers and runners can have three times more shin bone than those who do no exercise. That’s a lot to have in the bank!
What kind of exercise should I do to reduce fracture risk?
Playing football, basketball, tennis, or hockey could be an option for those who like team sports, or to be actively involved in games. If you’re an outdoorsy type, walking, jogging, running, and hiking are all great examples of weight-bearing activity. Lots of these exercises can be done at the gym too, along with dancing, lifting weights, or skipping. The important thing is to exercise, or at least be active, for about 30 minutes every day.
Exercise can be beneficial for your bones at any age, so it’s not too late to start, or improve on what you’re already doing. The force which acts on our bones daily can have great influence on their shape, size, and strength. Bones which have been exercised can maintain their size for years, even after stopping exercise. Learn which exercises are safe for you, and do what you can to minimise your risk of fractures in later life.

Beaverdam Creek (Soque River tributary)
Beaverdam Creek is a stream in Georgia, and is a tributary of the Soque River. The creek is approximately 5.79 mi long.
Course
Beaverdam Creek rises in northwestern Habersham County, Georgia, northwest of Clarkesville and south of the Shoal Creek/Upper Soque River sub-watershed, and runs largely in a southeasterly direction for approximately 5 mi, picking up the waters of several small, unnamed branches. Less than 2 mi east of the intersection of State Route 17 and State Route 115, Beaverdam Creek is joined by Sutton Mill Creek, which originates not far from the source of Beaverdam Creek. The creek then crosses State Route 17/115, and flows into the Soque River just west of Clarkesville, and just north of Habersham Mills Lake.
Sub-watershed details
The creek watershed and associated waters is designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC<PHONE_NUMBER>04, is named the Middle Soque River sub-watershed, and drains an area of approximately 22 mi2 northwest of Clarkesville, as well as northwest of the Soque River. | WIKI |

"Network Mapping Software.
A number of software tools exist to design computer network diagrams / or generate visual maps of networks, servers, storage, services, data centers, and other peripherals. Broadly, there are two types of software tools - those that help create diagrams manually and those that generate them using automated / semi-automated approaches.
Type of Software.
(1) Manual - allows users to design and draw logical and physical topology diagrams by manually placing icons and connections.
(2) Automated - generate topology diagrams / maps by traversing the network and automatically discovering resident devices or by importing network data." [Comparison of network diagram software. Wikipedia]
ConceptDraw PRO is the software for manual design of computer network diagrams. The solutions of the Computer and Networks area in ConceptDraw Solution Park extend ConceptDraw PRO with vector stencils libraries, templates and examples for creating the computer network diagrams.

Create Network Topology Diagram
The vector stencils library "Cisco network topology" contains 89 symbols of Cisco network devices and design elements for drawing computer network topology diagrams.
"There are two basic categories of network topologies:
(1) Physical topologies,
(2) Logical topologies.
The shape of the cabling layout used to link devices is called the physical topology of the network. This refers to the layout of cabling, the locations of nodes, and the interconnections between the nodes and the cabling. The physical topology of a network is determined by the capabilities of the network access devices and media, the level of control or fault tolerance desired, and the cost associated with cabling or telecommunications circuits.
The logical topology in contrast, is the way that the signals act on the network media, or the way that the data passes through the network from one device to the next without regard to the physical interconnection of the devices." [Network topology. Wikipedia]

All-American Girls Professional Baseball League All-Star Team
An All-Star squad of players was selected by the team managers of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in the league's inaugural 1943 season and then from 1946 until the league folded in 1954.
The league's first All-Star Game was held on July 1, 1943. Played under temporary lights, it was the first night game ever played at Wrigley Field. The game was between two teams composed of Racine Belles and Kenosha Comets players against South Bend Blue Sox and Rockford Peaches players. At the end of the inaugural season the league selected an All-Star team composed of 15 players.
There is no evidence that an All-Star team was recognized during the 1944 and 1945 seasons.
Starting in 1946, the team's managers of the league selected a squad of All-Star players to recognize individual achievements and performances during the regular season. More than a hundred players received some recognition over nine seasons. The All-Star Team would play against the club with the best record in an exhibition game.

A club cricketer for Old Tauntonians, Chivers was an off break bowler who was engaged by Hampshire at a time when they possessed the spin bowling options of Nigel Cowley and Rajesh Maru, which limited his appearances to mostly Second XI matches. He made two appearances in first-class cricket for Hampshire, against Oxford University at Oxford in 1985, and against Glamorgan at Swansea in the 1987 County Championship; He took two wickets in these matches. He later played club cricket for Calmore Sports and Winchester Krakatoa Simmarians. | WIKI |
British PM, Turkey's Erdogan say Iran must comply with nuclear deal
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in a phone call that Iran must comply with the terms of the nuclear deal agreed with major powers and cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. Iran said on Sunday it was taking a further step back from its commitments to abandon limits on enriching uranium after Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Iraq. “The leaders discussed the situation in Iraq following the death of Qassem Soleimani. They agreed on the importance of reducing tensions and finding a diplomatic way through the current crisis,” a statement from Johnson’s office said. “They agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon and must comply with the terms of the nuclear deal.” Reporting by Andrew MacAskill; editing by Kate Holton | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Dental Guide
Everything You Need to Know About Dentures
So your tooth has been aching and the doctor has prescribed a denture and it must have gotten you wondering, “Is it not for the elderly? How am I to survive without my own teeth? Eating, speak, everything will be difficult. And oh my god, I am never smiling again in front of others.” Well, relax. Whatever you are afraid of is just a myth. Modern dentures have come a long way compared to their archaic counterparts. Dentures are not only for the elderly. Tooth damage due to infection or injury can happen to anyone from any age group and often the dentist decides it is best to remove the damaged tooth and replace them with dentures.
Restoring your teeth with dentures can be easy, so do not be scared and get your dental problems fixed. It will solve more problems than it will create. And now you must be thinking, “Okay, I get artificial teeth, but are they as good as my real ones? And what do I do to make sure they work fine?” This article has got all the answers that you will need to ensure you can maintain a healthy lifestyle with your new dentures.
To maintain good dentures, it is imperative that you remember a few things. Firstly, keep them clean. Rinse the denture every time you eat something and make sure to remove accumulated debris or any leftover food. Make sure to brush your teeth regularly. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and mild toothpaste or any other cleaner that has been prescribed by your dentist. Remember to not use anything harsh or abrasive on your dentures. Also while cleaning your teeth remember to clear those crevices. Any nook and cranny is the favourite spot of bacteria and they dwell there multiplying in numbers. They are difficult to reach and clean and therefore cause infection and bad breath. So, use toothbrush, floss, mouth cleansers and other things to maintain a healthy germ free and plaque free mouth.
Your dentures are by nature quite durable. But they already go through a lot of strain based on daily wear and tear due to chewing and talking. So make sure to not put them through any excess troubles. When not wearing them, keep them submerged in water. Otherwise they might warp. Some people use adhesive to make sure their dentures stay in place. If you are using adhesive be careful about the type you are using. There are many kinds of adhesives. They can be creams, powders, pads, wafers, strips or liquids. Not all of them are suitable for every occasion. So discuss with your dentist to find out which suits your condition the best. Also read the instructions for use mentioned with the adhesive and follow them properly, unless the dentist suggests a different way of administration.

Many of William Shakespeare works are still the finest one ever written in English.
John and Mary lost two daughters as infants, so William became their eldest child. He is considered one of the few playwrights to have succeeded in writing both comedies and tragedies.

ByWilliam had begun a career as a playwright in London.
Growing up as the big brother of the family, William had three younger brothers, Gilbert, Richard, and Edmund, and two younger sisters: In his later years, he may have spent more time in Stratford-upon-Avon than scholars previously thought. Even without knowing everything about his life, fans of Shakespeare have imagined and reimagined him according to their own tastes, just as we see with the 19th-century portrait of Shakespeare wooing his wife at the top of this page.
He wrote 38 plays and sonnets.
Historians believe it was written for a royal wedding. He died on 23 April and was buried in the parish church. Before Shakespeare, plays and performances almost always depicted the main character choosing a life of virtue over the temptation of evil.
After William in they had a son called Gilbert in Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. In contrast, the works of Shakespeare were less centered on morality and more concerned with provoking raw emotion and exploring the very meaning of what it meant to be human.
When he was 18 William Shakespeare married a woman named Anne Hathaway. As an actor, a playwright, and a partner in a leading acting company, he became both prosperous and well-known. The play contains one of the most famous monologues of all-time: Margaret died after six months of her birth date.
After writing Julius Caesar inShakespeare is thought to have written Hamlet, historically thought of as his greatest masterpiece.

Island Bird
The Island Bird is a Chesapeake Bay log canoe built in 1882 by William Sidney Covington in Tilghman, Maryland. She is a 27 ft sailing log canoe with a racing rig, a sharp stem with a longhead bow, and a sharp, raking stern. She is one of the smallest boats in the active racing fleet, with a beam of only 5 ft. The boat is privately owned by the descendants of Mr. Covington and has been racing every season since 1949. She is one of the last 22 surviving traditional Chesapeake Bay racing log canoes that carry on a tradition of racing on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that has existed since the 1840s. She is located in St. Michaels, Talbot County, Maryland.
She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. | WIKI |

Solution
Problem 9
Consider a triangulation (mesh) of a polygonal domain like the one in the figure below. (a) Given the vertices of a triangle, devise a strategy for determining if a given point is inside that triangle. (b) Will your strategy work for polygons with more than three sides? (c) After implementing your strategy in an optimally efficient computer code you find that the search for a problem with $100$ triangles, on average, takes $10$ seconds. You refine the triangulation by subdividing each of the triangles into smaller triangles by placing a new vertex at the center of gravity of each triangle. On average, how long will it take to find a point in the new mesh?
Solution
Problem 10
Newton’s method applied to the equation $f(x) = x^3-x$ takes the form of the iteration $x_{n+1} =x_n-\frac{(x_n)^3-x_n}{3{x_n}^2-1} , n = 0,1,2,\ldots$
(a) What are the roots of $f(x) = 0$?
(b) Study the behavior of the iteration when $x_0 > \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ to conclude that the sequence $\{x_0,x_1,\ldots\}$ approaches the same root as long as you choose $x_0 > \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. It may be helpful to start with the case $x_0>1$.
(c) Assume $-\alpha < x_0 < \alpha$. For what number $\alpha$ does the sequence always approach $0$?
(d) For $x_0 \in(\alpha,\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$ the sequence may approach either of the roots $\pm x^{*}$. Can you find an (implicit) expression that can be used to determine limits $a_i$ and $a_{i+1}$ such that if $x0 \in (a_i,a_{i+1})$ then the sequence approaches $(-1)^i{x^{*}}$. Hint:$a_1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, a_i > a_{i+1}$ and $a_i$ approaches $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$ when $i$ becomes large.

I am new to using SvSip and I cannot get it to work properly. I configured the router to allow the calls. The DS connects to the wireless signal. SvSIP loads and connects to the access point. I see the keypad, then I type in the number I want to call. I put the 00 before the number, then the country code 1 for the US, then the number and hit dial, immediately I get the message:
"Invalid URL sip:0018005551212@(null) Invalid URL sip:0018005551212@(null)
Does anyone have any ideas? If not, do you know where I can go to get help to make this work?

From Where???
You first need a SIP account somewhere. You then need to open the config file and add your account information (domain, username, password). Your router only needs to be setup to use WIFI play on the NDS. So if you can play a game you can use the app to make calls. Just so you know most SIP providers will not give you a free account, the few that I found that did only let you make 5 calls for free. After that they required that you maintain a specific amount of money in your account. This goes for providers who offer free Cell calls as well.
Also the quility of calls sounds like you're a stuck in a robot who is talking down a long tunnel. The NDS was never designed to make phone calls! =)
I tested and had fun with the app using the VoIPBuster network. The domain for 3rd party phones is sip.voipbuster.com. You just have to install their software to make an account, then you can delete it. (assuming you aren't going to use it to make calls from your PC)
Goodluck.

Dermott v. Wallach (66 U.S. 96)
Charles S. Wallach brought replevin in the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia against Ann R. Dermott. In his declaration the plaintiff averred that certain articles of household furniture were taken by the defendant and detained against surties and pledges. The defendant pleaded that 'the goods and chattels in the declaration mentioned are not the property of the said plaintiff, and of this she puts herself on the country.' The defendant also avowed the taking of the goods for rent in arrear, setting out the lease, and the amount due thereon. To the avowry the plaintiff replied riens en arriere, but did not formally join issue on the plea of property by putting in a similiter. The defendant prayed the court to instruct the jury on several points, all of them having relation to the one question whether the rent had become due and payable to the plaintiff, as alleged by her. The court refused to give the instructions prayed for, and the jury found that the rent claimed by the defendant 'at the time when, &c., was not in arrear and unpaid, nor was any penny thereof,' assessing the damages of the plaintiff for the taking and detention at one cent. The court gave judgment for the plaintiff, that he have return of the goods, with the damages assessed by the jury and costs.

after my return to England I was asked to read a paper on "Kala-Azar" before this Society, and on considering what particular aspect of the disease I was most competent to deal with, I decided to limit myself to the parasite, so to-night I propose to give you some account of my observations on this organism and its allies. I have no doubt you are all well acquainted with the parasite, the discovery of which has opened up an entirely new field of research of great practical importance. Although we now know a great deal about it and its two allies, the parasites of infantile splenomegaly and Oriental sore, there is considerable doubt as to their exact systematic position. Laveran and Mesnil, I believe, still regard the parasite of kala-azar as belonging to the genus Piroplasma, while you will remember Ross placed it as an entirely new genus, Leishmania.

U-Haul’s second quarter saw positive market reaction, as management pointed to growth in its core moving and storage segments despite reported earnings per share coming in below Wall Street expectations. CFO Jason Berg emphasized the impact of higher fleet depreciation and losses on equipment sales, noting, “Of the $0.27 decline in earnings per share...$0.21 is from fleet depreciation and $0.12 is from the increase in losses on rental equipment sales.” The company’s steady revenue growth was attributed to increased equipment rental rates and continued expansion in both self-storage and U-Box portable storage solutions.

Revenue: $1.63 billion (5.3% year-on-year growth)
EPS (GAAP): $0.68 vs analyst expectations of $0.70 (2.9% miss)
Adjusted EBITDA: $537.5 million (33% margin, flat year on year)
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: 33%
Market Capitalization: $10.55 billion
While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.
Steven Ralston (Zacks) asked about the long-term potential for U-Box. Vice Chairman Sam Shoen responded that it is too early to quantify, but he is optimistic U-Box could rival the main rental business if consumer understanding improves.
Steven Ramsey (Thompson Research Group) inquired about whether U-Box One-Way transactions are outpacing traditional rentals. Shoen confirmed U-Box growth is leading, and expects this trend to continue as U-Box gains share.
Steven Ramsey (Thompson Research Group) questioned margin dynamics given higher growth in storage and U-Box. CFO Jason Berg explained that while these segments help margins, fleet depreciation and liability costs have been a drag, with potential improvement as storage matures.
Steven Ramsey (Thompson Research Group) asked about the sustainability of storage development spending. Berg noted that spending is being moderated to maintain balance with fleet needs, targeting manageable annual development levels.
Andy Liu (Wolfe Research) probed whether transaction trends showed improvement month-to-month. Berg said revenue is trending up year-over-year, but transaction gains have not yet consistently materialized, though the company is seeing some positive weeks.
Looking forward, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) how quickly U-Haul can drive occupancy in newly developed storage units to unlock margin gains, (2) the pace at which U-Box adoption expands across the company’s network and gains consumer awareness, and (3) whether fleet depreciation and liability costs begin to moderate as management expects. Execution against these priorities will be critical for margin recovery and sustained growth.
U-Haul currently trades at $57.65, up from $56.62 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it’s free).

Barisano da Trani
Barisano da Trani was an Italian sculptor of the 12th century. He is best known for his bronze relief door panels on the doors of churches such as Trani Cathedral (1185) and Monreale Cathedral in Monreale (1179). Barisano da Trani also made relief door panels for churches in Astrano and in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast.
Barisano preferred panels on doors which included religious figures, often making them decorative and symbolic. His carving showed similarities with Nordic sculpture and in some works recalls the Sassanid art of the Middle East. | WIKI |

Gary Fildes
Gary Fildes (born 27 September 1965) is an amateur astronomer.
Early life and education
Fildes was born in Sunderland in 1965. Growing up in Grindon, a council estate on the outskirts of Sunderland, he left school at the age of sixteen to work as a bricklayer. Not formally trained in astronomy or academia, in 2012 Fildes was given an honorary master's degree from Durham University.
Early career and Sunderland Astronomical Society
Fildes worked as a bricklayer in the North East for 25 years. In the late 1990s he joined the Sunderland Astronomical Society and eventually started hosting Kielder Forest Star Camps in the Kielder Forest.
Kielder Observatory
While running star camps and other astronomy events, Fildes was the lead contributor and driving force in the effort to build an observatory. An open competition ran through the Royal Institute of British Architects, eventually raising £450,000 to construct the observatory. Kielder Observatory was officially opened on 25 April 2008 by Sir Arnold Wolfendale, 14th Astronomer Royal. On 9 December 2013, a 579 square mile (1,500 km2) area, jointly led by Northumberland National Park Authority, Kielder Water and Forest Park Development Trust and Kielder Observatory Astronomical Society, gained Gold Tier Dark Sky Park status from the International Dark-Sky Association, becoming the largest area of protected night sky in Europe.
After Kielder
Fildes left Kielder Observatory in February 2019. As of 2020, he was working at Grassholme Observatory.

On the Doorstep With a Plea: Will You Support Medicare for All?
DUBUQUE, Iowa — Art Miller listened patiently as the stranger on his doorstep tried to sell him on the Medicare for All Act of 2019, the single-payer health care bill that has sharply divided Democrats in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail. The visitor, Steven Meier, was a volunteer canvasser who wanted Mr. Miller to call his congresswoman, Abby Finkenauer, the young Democrat who took a Republican’s seat last year in this closely divided district — and press her to embrace Medicare for all. Beyond congressional politics, there was the familiar role that Iowa plays as the first state to weigh in on the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I want to know how my grandkids are going to pay for it, O.K.?” Mr. Miller, 71, mused, peering at the flier that Mr. Meier had handed him. It was a fairly typical encounter for Mr. Meier, 39, who with hundreds of volunteers around the country is working with National Nurses United, the country’s largest nurses’ union, to build grass-roots support for the single-payer bill, a long shot on Capitol Hill and a disruptive force in the party. House Democrats have declared this Saturday and Sunday to be “a weekend of action on health care” — but they are split over whether to embrace extreme change or something closer to the status quo. A single-payer health care system would more or less scrap private health insurance, including employer-sponsored coverage, for a system like Canada’s in which the government pays for everyone’s health care with tax dollars. Democrats not ready for that big a step are falling back on a “public option,” an alternative in which anyone could buy into Medicare or another public program, or stick with private insurance — a position once a considered firmly on the party’s left wing. Lawmakers like Ms. Finkenauer, mindful of the delicate political balance in their districts, fear the “socialism” epithet that President Trump and his party are attaching to Medicare for all. On Friday, Mr. Trump called the House bill “socialist health care” that would “crush American workers with higher taxes, long wait times and far worse care.” But even Ms. Finkenauer, who beat the incumbent Republican in November by 16,900 votes, has been pulled left by the debate, embracing the public option, which could not get through Congress when the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010. “In a divided Congress, I’m focused on what we can do to bring immediate relief to Iowans,” she said in an email. The nurses’ union and a number of other progressive groups want nothing less than a government system that pays for everyone’s health care, seizing on the issue’s prominence and a round of Medicare for all hearings in the House with canvassing in the districts of many of the 123 House Democrats who have not thrown their support behind a single-payer system. “Hearings are a moment for us to have a national stage for this campaign,” Jasmine Ruddy, the lead organizer for the nurse union’s Medicare for all campaign, told several dozen new volunteers on a training call last month. “It’s up to us to take advantage of the momentum we already see happening and turn it into political power.” But building support for a single-payer health care system has been slow going. On Wednesday, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Representative Richard E. Neal of Massachusetts, convening the House’s third Medicare for all hearing, said it was about “exploring ideas.” Republicans warned darkly of sky-high tax increases, doctor shortages and long waits for care. Representative Kevin Brady of Texas, the senior Republican on the committee, said his constituents were “frightened” about their private coverage being “ripped out from under them.” The nurses’ union campaign began just after Democrats won the House in November, when the union and several other groups held a strategy call with Representative Pramila Jayapal, Democrat of Washington, the chief author of the Medicare for All Act, and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who pushed Medicare for all into the mainstream during his 2016 presidential campaign. “Rather than try to convince people it’s the right system,” Ms. Ruddy said, “our strategy is to reach the people who are already convinced that health care is a human right, to bring them in and actually make them feel the action they are taking matters.” In Dubuque, Mr. Meier and his partner, Briana Moss, have knocked on 250 doors and gathered about 50 signatures over the past few months. About 20 volunteers, including a retired nurse and several college students, are also involved. Nationwide, canvassers have knocked on 20,000 doors and collected 14,000 signatures since February. On a Saturday afternoon, Mr. Miller, a Vietnam veteran, told Mr. Meier about his positive experience with government health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs, saying, “I’ve seen how it can work.” A few houses down, a woman who owns a cleaning service and would give only her first name, Sharon, and her party affiliation, Republican, said that if the bill covered abortions, “I won’t go for that.” She added that she would be happy to stop paying $170 a month for supplemental insurance to cover what Medicare does not, but she did not want to see people who do not work receive free care. From the garage, her husband hollered that he agreed. Conceding defeat, Mr. Meier and Ms. Moss moved along. Both Sanders supporters, they took on the cause in part because Ms. Moss has Type 1 diabetes and has struggled on and off to stay insured, though now she has Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act’s expansion of the program. Ms. Moss, 30, went to see Ms. Finkenauer in her district office this year and asked if she supported a government system that eliminated insurance. Ms. Finkenauer, she said, stated her preference for a public option. “That’s simply a compromise that leaves the insurance companies still in the game,” said Mr. Meier, who recently started working at John Deere building backhoes and will soon have employer-based coverage after being uninsured for his entire adult life. The Jayapal and Sanders bills would both expand traditional Medicare to cover all Americans, and change the structure of the program to cover more services and eliminate most deductibles and co-payments. There would effectively be no private health insurance, because the new system would cover almost everything; Mr. Sanders has said private coverage could be sold for extras like cosmetic surgery. While polling does show that Medicare for all has broad public support, that drops once people learn it would involve raising taxes or eliminating private insurance. That finding bewilders Mr. Meier, given many of the conversations he has on people’s front steps. Those conversations keep coming. Rick Plowman 66, complained bitterly about how despite having Medicare, he had to pay nearly $500 for inhalers to treat his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Still, he was skeptical. “I just don’t know what it’s going to look like down the road,” Mr. Plowman said. “Even Social Security for kids, you know? Even for you guys?” “I’m willing to start making that sacrifice right now,” Mr. Meier pushed back. Mr. Plowman signed the petition. At a white bungalow around the corner, Mr. Meier found — finally — that he was preaching to the choir with Bobby Daniels, 50, and his wife, Andrea, 46. Mr. Daniels, a forklift operator from Waterloo, said their coverage came with a $3,000 deductible and he would “most definitely” support Medicare for all. Ray Edwards, 36, an uninsured barber, also heartily signed on. At the final stop of the day, Mr. Meier and Ms. Moss encountered Jeremy Shade, 36, a registered Republican who promptly told them his sister lived in Canada and had spent “hours and hours in the hospital, waiting for care” under that country’s single-payer system. “I get that concern, and it’s something I’m worried about, too,” Mr. Meier said as Mr. Shade’s dog barked. “Would you be interested in maybe just calling Abby Finkenauer and saying, ‘Hey, what are we doing about the health care problem in this country?’” “My wife would,” Mr. Shade said, explaining that she was a Democrat. “I’m real wary about it.” Two hours of hot canvassing amid swarms of gnats had yielded six petition signatures and a few pledges to call Ms. Finkenauer. Mr. Meier was determined to end on a positive note. “I really think health care could be the issue that could get people to stop being so on one side or the other,” he said, a point that Mr. Shade accepted, shaking his hand before retreating inside. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Deep
Learning
What is Deep Learning?
Deep learning is a set of machine learning algorithms that model high-level abstractions in data using architectures consisting of multiple non-linear transformations. Deep learning is used by a few companies like Google, IBM, Baidu, Microsoft, Twitter, Qubit, Intel, and Apple
Why Opt for Deep Learning with Trugo?
Lately, we have seen the development of concepts like deep learning and its usage by some large companies. Deep Learning can extract new functionality from limited sets of functionality located in the training dataset.
Our deep learning model performs repetitive tasks and thousands of routines in a relatively brief timeframe, in contrast with what it would take for a person to perform these tasks. Besides, the quality of the work degrades when there is raw data in the training data that does not represent the problem you are trying to solve.
We understand that labeling data can be time-consuming and expensive work; with our deep learning approach, our algorithm flourishes at learning without directives or well-labeled data.
Applications of Deep Learning
Mobile advertising
Finding the appropriate mobile audience for mobile advertising is continually put to the test, as many data points are required to be analyzed before a target segment is created and utilized in ad serving by any ad server. Deep learning has been used to decipher huge multi-dimensional advertising datasets. Tons of data are gathered during the request/serve/click internet advertising cycle. This information can shape the idea of machine learning to enhance ad selection.
Financial fraud detection
Deep learning is being successfully applied to anti-money laundering and financial fraud detection. A deep anti-money laundering detection system can spot and recognize relationships and similarities between data and ultimately learn to detect anomalies or classify and predict specific events. The answer leverages both supervised learning strategies like the classification of suspicious transactions and unsupervised learning like anomaly detection.
Customer relationship management
Deep reinforcement learning has been used to approximate the worth of possible marketing actions defined in terms of RFM variables. The estimated value function was shown to possess a natural interpretation as a customer lifetime value.
Benefits of Deep Learning
Creating New Features
One of the elemental advantages of deep learning over various machine learning algorithms is its capacity to supply new features from a restricted series of features located within the training dataset. Hence, deep learning calculations can make new tasks to tackle current ones. Since deep learning can produce features without a person's mediation, data scientists can spare tons of time working with big data and depend upon deep learning. It permits them to utilize more complex sets of features as compared to conventional machine learning programming.
Advanced Analysis
Because of its improved processing models, deep learning produces noteworthy outcomes when tackling data science tasks. While machine learning works only with labeled data, deep learning upholds solo learning methods that let the framework become brighter on its own. The power to make a decision the foremost significant feature permits deep learning to productively give data scientist’s brief and reliable analysis results.

Talk page deletion of "corrected" problems
What's the "Wikipedia standard" for removing - from a Talk page - an entry that discusses an error that's now resolved? In the case I observed, the talk page suggested a reference to "6.5 billion households" in the main article must be wrong. Another user did research and corrected the entry to "6.8 million" and removed the Talk page entry complaining about the error. Soon after, a third editor reverted the Talk page edits completely, saying "don't remove other editors entries". All well and good, but what's the purpose of a Talk entry that references an error that no longer exists? Does anything EVER get removed from a Talk page if that's really the standard?
A URL would be great if there's a formal policy. Thanks.

Deleting a 'citation needed' marker
..or at least challenging them
Is there any procedure for this? I have seen one or two of these markers next to areas of my field that are seen as common knowledge. Glennh70 17:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
* It varies a lot what people see as common knowledge, and the article will probably be read by many who don't know the field. Adding such a tag is not an implicit claim that the information is false. Only remove the tag if you add a citation or there already is one. See Verifiability. PrimeHunter 19:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
* If you are familiar with a particular field of study then the easiest way for you to get rid of those unsightly [citation needed] tags is by replacing them with a citation.

On the other hand, there are a lot of red links there (which is generally not recommended on a dab page), and if you wanted to inspire people to create the articles, you might try finding an appropriate Wikiproject - given that most of the redlinks are French communes, I would suggest perhaps WikiProject France and try making a suggestion on the talk page there.

How to add multi row "addInlineJs phalcon" in document.ready jquery
Hi all, I using Volt template in my app,
I use in body:
<body>{{ assets.outputInlineJs('footer') }}</body>
in my application, there are the same call code assets.collection('footer')
{% do assets.collection('footer').addInlineJs(' $(".class").show(); ') %} {% do assets.collection('footer').addInlineJs(' $(".class1").hide(); ') %} {% do assets.collection('footer').addInlineJs(' $(".class3").dosomething(); ') %}
I want to same:
<script>$( document ).ready(function() { $(".class").show(); $(".class1").hide(); $(".class3").dosomething(); }); </script>
Means all located in the $( document ).ready(function() {
edited Mar '16
Extend assets class, override outputInlineJs method, call parent outputInlineJs, from the value you got add before it $( document ).ready(function() { and after it }); and return it, and register your assets class in di.
Thank you Wojciech Ślawski for the reply, but detailed instructions please help me
edited Mar '16
public class MyAssets extends Phalcon\Assets\Manager
{
public function outputInlineJs($collectionName = null)
{
$output = parent::outputInlineJs($collectionName);
return "$( document ).ready(function() {".$output."});";
}
}
And then in your di:
$di->set('assets',function(){
$assets = new MyAssets();
return $assets;
});
Thank for supoort,
$output = parent::outputInlineJs($collectionName); the code runs out from $( document ).ready(function() {});
this is result: <script>$(".class").show(); $(".class1").hide(); $(".class3").dosomething();</script> $( document ).ready(function() {});
Please help me test again
Oh it's adding <script> tags. First you have to remove script tags from $output.
public class MyAssets extends Phalcon\Assets\Manager
{
public function outputInlineJs($collectionName = null)
{
$output = strip_tags(parent::outputInlineJs($collectionName));
return "<script>$( document ).ready(function() {".$output."});</script>";

Well, didnt know about implictOuput beacause not using outlineInlineJs :)
Still it would be better foru user if you put this js in file. Caching etc.
Thank Wojciech Ślawsk. I find document at here https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/blob/master/phalcon/assets/manager.zep
I want to use Cache, but not know how to use, I'm a beginer
Well i mean if you put this JS into file it will be cached by browser. If you have inline js it will be not. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Aspasia of Miletus (/æˈspeɪʒ(i)ə, -ziə, -ʃə/; Greek: Ἀσπασία Greek: [aspasíaː]; c. 470 - c. 400 BC) was an influential metic woman in Classical-era Athens who, according to Plutarch, attracted the most prominent writers and thinkers of the time, including the philosopher Socrates, to her house, which became an intellectual centre in Athens. Socrates described her as a skilled teacher of rhetoric. She was the companion of the statesman Pericles, with whom she had a son, Pericles the Younger, but the full details of the couple's marital status are unknown. Aspasia is mentioned in the writings of Plato, Aristophanes, Xenophon, and others.
Although she spent most of her adult life in Greece, few details of her life are fully known. The ancient sources about Aspasia's life are scant, of often of questionable reliability and contradictory, with some portraying her as an intellectual luminary, rhetorician, and philosopher and others portraying her as a brothel keeper or hetaera. Aspasia's role in history provides crucial insight into understanding the women of ancient Greece. Very little is known about women from her time period. One scholar stated that, "To ask questions about Aspasia's life is to ask questions about half of humanity."
Origin and Early Years
Aspasia was born in the Ionian Greek city of Miletus (in the modern province of Aydın, Turkey). Little is known about her family except that her father's name was Axiochus. It is apparent that she belonged to a wealthy family, because only the well-to-do could have afforded the excellent education that she received. Her name, which means "the desired one", was not likely to be her given name.
Some ancient sources claim that she was a Carian prisoner-of-war turned slave; these statements are generally regarded as false.
It is not known under what circumstances she first traveled to Athens. The discovery of a fourth-century grave inscription that mentions the names of Axiochus and Aspasius has led historian Peter K. Bicknell to attempt a reconstruction of Aspasia's family background and Athenian connections. His theory connects her to Alcibiades II of Scambonidae (grandfather of the famous Alcibiades), who was ostracized from Athens in 460 BC and may have spent his exile in Miletus. Bicknell conjectures that, following his exile, the elder Alcibiades went to Miletus, where he married a daughter of a certain Axiochus. Alcibiades apparently returned to Athens with his new wife and her younger sister, Aspasia. Bicknell argues that the first child of this marriage was named Axiochus (uncle of the famous Alcibiades) and the second child was named Aspasios. He also maintains that Pericles met Aspasia through his close connections with the Alcibiades household.
Later years and death
In 429 BC, during the Plague of Athens, Pericles witnessed the death of his sister and of both his legitimate sons from his first wife, Paralus and Xanthippus. With his morale undermined, he wept and not even Aspasia's companionship could console him. Just before his own death, the Athenians allowed a change in the citizenship law of 451 BC that made his half-Athenian son with Aspasia, Pericles the Younger, a citizen and legitimate heir, a decision all the more striking in considering that Pericles was the one to have proposed the law confining citizenship to those of Athenian parentage on both sides. Pericles died of the plague in the autumn of 429 BC.
Plutarch later cites Aeschines Socraticus, who wrote a dialogue on Aspasia (now lost), to the effect that after Pericles's death, Aspasia lived with Lysicles, an Athenian strategos (general) and democratic leader, with whom she had another son; and that she made him the first man at Athens. Lysicles was killed in action on an expedition to levy subsidies from allies in 428 BC. That dialogue ended with the death of Lysicles.
It is not known whether Aspasia was alive when her son, Pericles the Younger, was elected general or when he was executed after the Battle of Arginusae. The time of her death that most historians give (c. 401–400 BC) is based on the assessment that Aspasia died before the execution of Socrates in 399 BC, a chronology that is implied in the structure of Aeschines' Aspasia. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Herbert Hyland
Sir Herbert John Thornhill Hyland (15 March 1884 – 18 March 1970), storekeeper, investor, and politician, was born in 1884 at Prahran, Melbourne, second son of George Hyland, a Victorian-born painter, and his wife Mary, née Thornhill, from Ireland.
Early life
Herbert's grandfather was John Hyland, one of the first settlers of the South Yarra and Prahran regions. The Hyland family also participated in the 1 November 1837 land sale, purchasing an allotment between Bourke St and Little Bourke st, Melbourne (after Williamstown nomination of Melbourne's first Magistrate, and were the original owners of the Freemason's Tavern, South Yarra.
Herbert attended Caulfield state school until the early deaths of his parents forced him to leave at the age of 12 and take a job in a grocery store in Glenhuntly.
Hyland eventually moved to South Gippsland, establishing his own general store and mixed grocery business. On 8 May 1912 at her parents' home at Galaquil he married with Methodist forms 18-year-old Amelia Mary Barratt (died 1968); their son and daughter were to predecease him, to his deep distress.
Career
As Hyland's business flourished, he diversified into dairy farming and became a major landowner in the region. He was ruled unfit for war service, but proved a staunch advocate of soldier settlers. Elected in 1923 to the Woorayl shire council (president 1928–1929), he took an increasingly active role in community affairs, joined the Country Party and served as president of its Central Gippsland district council. His commercial ventures proved so profitable in the late 1920s that he was able to retire early and devote himself to community causes.
In 1927 Hyland unsuccessfully contested the newly created seat of Wonthaggi in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. In 1929, with the aid of preferences from the Labor Party, Hyland defeated the sitting Nationalist member for the seat of Gippsland South and entered state parliament.
Appointed minister without portfolio in the minority Country Party government of Sir Albert Dunstan in June 1936, Hyland was promoted to various ministries, both in minority Country Party and in coalition cabinets, until the election of the Cain government in 1952 brought a temporary halt to the instability of Victorian politics. Hyland's portfolios included Transport (1938–43), Chief Secretary (1943–45), State Development (1947–48 and 1950–52), Labour (1947–48), Decentralisation (1948) and Transport and Prices (1950–52).
Knighted in 1952, Hyland was elected leader of the parliamentary Country Party in 1955. In the early years of Sir Henry Bolte's Liberal government, Hyland took advantage of the premier's inexperience to extract concessions, especially relating to freight charges. Hyland often railed against Bolte for his alleged Melbourne bias. Often Hyland was given to extravagant and vituperative language. In a debate in parliament in 1958 he called Bolte a 'mongrel' and referred to another minister as 'a stupid looking goof'. He was suspended from parliament in 1960 for describing the speaker as being 'as silly as a billy goat'. Despite these outbursts, Hyland was generally liked by his colleagues.
Hyland was unexpectedly replaced as parliamentary leader of the Country Party by George Moss in 1964.
Death
Sir Herbert Hyland died on 18 March 1970 at Prahran, Victoria; he was accorded a state funeral and was cremated with Anglican rites.
Honours
Numerous roadways are named after the Hyland family, including Hyland Street, South Yarra (named after John Hyland, owner of the block between Argos St, Moore St and Hyland St) and the Hyland Highway being named after Herbert.
Personal life
His widow Lady Elsie, known as Joan, who was 37 years his junior (born 27 February 1921), died on 12 August 2013. | WIKI |

• The English Language and Programming
Programming is an art form, and I believe there exists such a thing as “beautiful code.” Beautiful code has the appearance of elegance in its design. Its form is concise, expressive, and one of its attributes is a good use of language. Not just in the use of the syntax of a programming language, but in its representation in natural languages.
The lingua franca of computer programming is English. More specifically American English. Whatever the history may be, we have definitely settled on this particular dialect of the English language as being the basis for how we should name our symbols in our programs.
I believe a key to writing code that is clear and easy to understand is to make the best possible use of the English language. Thus, I present everything I have learned about how to format your code such that the text you have typed will be made easier to read by other human beings.
Stick To the 80 Character Limit
When writing code, it is important that the code you write appears consistently in a format that is easier for people to read. A line of code has to end at some point, it would be crazy to let a line run on forever. Thus, it is important to decide when a line should end. I have a definitive answer for this for nearly all cases, stick to 80 characters.
The 80 character limit, as near as I can tell, dates back to IBM punch cards. Although technically a little shorter than 80 characters, the punch cards set a technical limitation how long a line of code was allowed to be. Latter in history we received fancy terminal computers with 80 character limit on their display. As time went on and technology advanced, we could fit more and more characters onto a display.
So time has passed, those old terminals now seem like cheap toys compared to the computing power of our mobile phones. Why bother supporting such an old character limit? Because it matters. As each year passes, I keep coming back and finding reasons to stick to the 80 character limit. I get a large monitor and I think I’m good, then I have a netbook where the screen is so small that 80 characters is about as high as the limit goes. You get two monitors at a desk and you want to look at four things at once in our complex world, and 80 characters will fit on one half of one screen comfortably. I actually use an HD TV exclusively at home at a much higher than normal DPI setting, and again 80 characters is over half the width of my screen.
The limit still makes sense, it’s nice and concise and we should stick with it. We have to have some kind of limit, so let’s stick with the one that fits nicely on a range of different displays.
I would like to mention some notable exceptions to this limitation. In languages where lines are extremely verbose or encourage heavy nesting, I would relax the limit somewhat to maintain sanity. Notable exceptions to the rule I believe would be HTML and perhaps Java code, although even with Java I have found I can often stick to 80 characters consistently. I have been able to make HTML more manageable by switching my tab size down to 2 spaces, and that leads me to my next topic.
Use Spaces, Not Tabs for Indentation
As we are in the business of writing code that will be displayed consistently across different devices, I must express my desire that we stick to spaces and not tabs for indentation. Tab characters are designed so they can provide a flexible amount of indentation in lines. So a tab could be the width of 4 characters, or it could be the size of 8 characters. It’s up to the editor to decide. So when indenting code with tab characters while trying to keep to an 80 character limit, you put yourself into a stochastic system of presentation where your code could fluctuate wildly in its visual quality between displays.
Do yourself a favour and start using an editor that makes it easier to print individual space characters instead of tab characters. Use an editor which provides a visual hint for when tabs are present in a file instead of spaces. It is the right choice to make.
Identify Conventions for Names, Apply Them Consistently
Some choices for style simply do not matter too much, and debating their use is a waste of energy. I believe the following alternative choices simply do not matter.
• lowerCamelCase and names_with_underscores
• Allman or OTB styles braces
• Global constant values as_normal or AS_UPPERCASE
• Operators before or after a line break
Your choices for the above should be based entirely on what the community around you has already decided. You can argue until the end of time whether using an underscore in a variable name will make it easier to read, but someone else will be there to say the opposite. Just pick whatever the majority ruled already, it really does not matter. Whatever was chosen, stick with it.
Almost Never Use Plural Nouns for Variables
This is a personal choice, and an important detail I haven’t seen mentioned much on the style guides of others. After some frustration in trying to read code I or others have written, I must insist on a rule for variable names. With very few exceptions, variable names should never be plural nouns. In order to explain why, let’s look at an example in Python.
for object in objects:
foo(object)
There you go, a simple foreach loop through some objects, using an object. That’s not so bad, is it? Let’s try another one.
objects = ...
for object in objects:
foo(object)
# ... A few lines later ...
bar(object)
Now things are getting a bit more confusing. What did we do? We passed the object items in objects to foo, and we passed objects to bar. Except we didn’t. Our code had a bug in it and we actually passed the very last object in our sequence of objects on to bar.
Was this mistake hard to make? I think quite the opposite. I think we’ve chosen to use language here in a way that makes it easy to create bugs and cause wildly different sets of behaviour by simply changing a single character in a name. I think this is unacceptable. We cannot simply press on writing code this way, as it’s a recipe for failure.
I have seen this type of bug appear more than once, even in static languages. And even when there are no bugs, your code still becomes hard to read. Move away from your screen a little and try to pick our which name describes our sequence of objects and which one is a single object. It may be easy when you already know which is which, but come back to the lines months later and you’ll find your function hard to read.
There is a better way. Instead of using a plural noun for a variable, use a phrase combining two singular nouns in a manner which implies both that the variable holds some kind of collection, and also the kind of collection it is. I say kind because I wish to avoid saying instead type, as that would imply something useless like Hungarian Notation. I believe instead what you should say with a name shouldn’t strictly be a reference to the variable’s type as the program understands it, but to what it means semantically for how it’s going to be used.
Let’s return to our second Python example with this in mind.
object_list = ...
for object in object_list:
foo(object)
# ... A few lines later ...
# This now stands out like a sore thumb.
bar(object)
Above here I have used object_list. Now the object and the list of those objects are easy to tell apart. I called my variable ’list’ because I’m communicating that it holds a list of values. I would use similar language to communicate semantic meaning elsewhere.
# Actually a type named 'list'.
object_list = [1, 2, 3]
# A tuple, which is also conflated with being Python's immutable list type.
object_list = (1, 2, 3)
# A dictionary, it maps from A -> B
object_map = {"a" : 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
# 'seq' because it's a sequence, we can't guarantee we can run
# through the sequence twice.
object_seq = (x for x in object_list)
We have added on a bonus of giving some clues of what the thing is that we are using in addition to making it easy to tell scalars apart from non-scalars. The latter detail is the more important one by far, but differentiating the kind of thing a variable represents will also make our code more readable. Consider the alternative.
foos = ...
bars = ...
joes = ...
daves = ...
What are each of the things above? How can you expect to work with them? Perhaps if we introduce the values we might know.
foos = [1, 2, 3]
bars = {"a" : 1}
joes = (x for x in foos)
daves = (4, 5, 6)
Now we know what they all are. So what if we introduce the rule and take away the values?
foo_list = ...
bar_map = ...
joe_seq = ...
dave_list = ...
You don’t need to know the values any more, or even the types. You just need to read the name to figure out what is what. This one you can expect to index or iterate through a few times, the other is an input range, some other thing is actually a map, and probably unordered. This is a much better way of naming your variables, use it today as I do.
Use Words to Convey Meaning, not Numbers and Booleans
Let us consider a line of code in Python.
render("last", 100, True)
Can you tell me what the above line of code means? There is a string of characters in there, then a number, then some Boolean value. But what does any of it actually do? The answer is to somehow convey some kind of meaning. A good way to do this in Python would be with keyword arguments, which can be applied to any argument in Python function.
render(
target="last",
animation_speed=100,
use_blast_processing=True
)
Now our nonsense function makes a lot more sense. Despite the fact that the example is obviously very contrived, you can at least tell at a glance what the purpose of each argument is in. Not every language offers keyword argument syntax, so for other languages we will have to express this idea through other means.
For JavaScript, we can change our function so that it takes an object instead.
render({
target: "last",
animation_speed: 100,
use_blast_processing: true
});
For a static language like D or Java, perhaps we might consider breaking our function up into other names which will effectively partially apply our function from before.
renderTarget("last")
.withAnimationSpeed(100)
.useBlastProcessing()
.render();
Objective-C deserves a special mention, as its syntax for messages forces you to write code like this.
[Renderer
renderTarget: @"last"
withAnimationSpeed: 100
usingBlastProcessing: YES
];
Whatever your solution is to this naming problem, just don’t write crap like this.
xlConjugateScene(1, 1.0f, NULL, *p, NULL);
The Boolean Trap deserves special mention here. Generally, you should remember one important rule.
Never, ever, use Boolean values as arguments.
For all of the reasons mentioned in the linked article and reasons mentioned above, you should never use Boolean values for your function arguments. Often a good alternative is to use enum values instead. As a less contrived example, let’s look at a function I am using for my DQT library, defined in my DSMOKE library.
I could have written this…
generator.writeToDirectory(
"generator/dqt_predefined",
"source/dqt",
true
);
However I instead chose to write this.
generator.writeToDirectory(
"generator/dqt_predefined",
"source/dqt",
CleanBuildDirectory.yes
);
Perhaps I still might have to explain what the first two arguments are for, but I’m sure you can agree that without even looking at any part of the library before, you can come away from the code above knowing exactly what that third argument does in the second example. All it required was the addition of an enum type.
/* 'yes' is value 1 so if(...) works well. */
enum CleanBuildDirectory: bool { no, yes }
Just a very small amount of additional code, and we can build readability into our function signatures directly.
That’s All for Now
That’s all for now. I may consider adding more rules I have thought of in future. This was at least a good start on my exploration of style. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

had been discouraged in literature; her eyes failed her in the minute kind of drawing which she practised when she wanted to express an idea; teaching seemed to her at this time, as it does to most women at all times, the only way of earning an independent livelihood. But neither she nor her sisters were naturally fond of children. The hieroglyphics of childhood were unknown language to them, for they had never been much with those younger than themselves. I am inclined to think, too, that they had not the happy knack of imparting information, which seems to be a separate gift from the faculty of acquiring it; a kind of sympathetic tact, which instinctively perceives the difficulties that impede comprehension in a child's mind, and that yet are too vague and unformed for it, with its half-developed powers of expression, to explain by words. Consequently, teaching very young children was anything but a "delightful task" to the three Brontë sisters. With older girls, verging on womanhood, they might have done better, especially if these had any desire for improvement. But the education which the village clergyman's daughters had received, did not as yet qualify them to undertake the charge of advanced pupils. They knew but little French, and were not proficients in music; I doubt whether Charlotte could play at all. But they were all strong again, and, at any rate, Charlotte and Anne must put their shoulders to the wheel. One daughter was needed at home, to stay with Mr. Brontë and Miss Branwell; to be the young and active member in a household of four, | WIKI |
Export F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager rules to Excel with iControl REST
A couple weeks back lttarvina asked in the forums if it was possible to take F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (BIG-IP AFM) rules and export them to a Microsoft Excel workbook with a browser plugin. Possible perhaps with all the advances taking place with WebAssembly , but no current solution that I'm aware of. In this tech tip, I take a stab at an alternative solution using the iControl REST interface with the python BIGREST module.
The iControl REST methods
There are a lot of methods under the larger security umbrella, but for this exercise we'll stick with policy rules, starting with the policy definitions themselves.
https://<big-ip host address>/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy
On my system, I created two policies, one for rules in the global context and one for rules in the virtual server context. A request to the iControl REST endpoint above results in this returned data:
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:policycollectionstate",
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy?ver=15.1.6.1",
"items": [
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:policystate",
"name": "global_policy",
"partition": "Common",
"fullPath": "/Common/global_policy",
"generation": 138,
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/~Common~global_policy?ver=15.1.6.1",
"rulesReference": {
"link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/~Common~global_policy/rules?ver=15.1.6.1",
"isSubcollection": true
}
},
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:policystate",
"name": "nerdlife-policy",
"partition": "Common",
"fullPath": "/Common/nerdlife-policy",
"generation": 118,
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/~Common~nerdlife-policy?ver=15.1.6.1",
"rulesReference": {
"link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/~Common~nerdlife-policy/rules?ver=15.1.6.1",
"isSubcollection": true
}
}
]
}
Now that we have the policy names (global_policy and nerdlife-policy) we can query the rules within each policy with a slight change to the method call:
https://<big-ip host address>/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/<global policy name>/rules
A request to this endpoint results in a list of rules in that policy:
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:rules:rulescollectionstate",
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/global_policy/rules?ver=15.1.6.1",
"items": [
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:rules:rulesstate",
"name": "no_172_16_4_net",
"fullPath": "no_172_16_4_net",
"generation": 138,
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/global_policy/rules/no_172_16_4_net?ver=15.1.6.1",
"action": "reject",
"ipProtocol": "any",
"iruleSampleRate": 1,
"log": "yes",
"ruleNumber": "1",
"status": "enabled",
"destination": {},
"source": {
"identity": {},
"addresses": [
{
"name": "172.16.4.0/24"
}
]
}
},
{
"kind": "tm:security:firewall:policy:rules:rulesstate",
"name": "no_192_168_net",
"fullPath": "no_192_168_net",
"generation": 133,
"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/global_policy/rules/no_192_168_net?ver=15.1.6.1",
"action": "reject",
"ipProtocol": "any",
"iruleSampleRate": 1,
"log": "yes",
"ruleNumber": "2",
"status": "enabled",
"destination": {},
"source": {
"identity": {},
"addresses": [
{
"name": "192.168.0.0/16"
}
]
}
}
]
}
In my case it's two rules in the global context. If you have a lot of rules in any policy, you might want to meter your queries with the $top and $select query parameters to avoid issues with the REST interface.
Rinse and repeat for each policy you want to retrieve rules for, and now you have the data you need for the next step: formatting it and exporting to Excel.
The python function then, is shown below:
def get_policy_rules(br, policy):
policy_rules = {}
if policy == 'ALL':
policy_list = [x.properties.get('name') for x in br.load('/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy')]
for pol in policy_list:
policy_rules[pol] = [r.properties for r in br.load(f'/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/{pol}/rules')]
else:
policy_rules[policy] = [r.properties for r in br.load(f'/mgmt/tm/security/firewall/policy/{policy}/rules')]
return policy_rules
The two arguments sent to the function are the BIGREST BIG-IP instantiation object and the command-line argument provided by the user for which policy to export. This defaults to all if the argument isn't provided at the command-line. When called, this function queries the appropriate BIG-IP for the appropriate policy rules and returns that data.
The Excel Formatting
This part is pretty straightforward thanks to the awesome XLSXWriter module I've used before for iRules performance testing.
def export_policy_rules(host, rules):
f = f'{host}_Firewall_Rules.xlsx'
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook(f)
for pol in rules.items():
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet(pol[0])
worksheet.write_row(0, 0, ['kind', 'name', 'fullPath', 'generation', 'selfLink', 'action', 'ipProtocol',
'iruleSampleRate', 'log', 'ruleNumber', 'status', 'destination', 'source'])
for row, rule in enumerate(pol[1]):
rule = {key: str(rule[key]) for key in rule.keys()}
worksheet.write_row(row + 1, 0, list(rule.values()), )
worksheet.set_column('A:A', None, None, {'hidden': True})
worksheet.set_column('C:E', None, None, {'hidden': True})
workbook.close()
The process is simple. Name the file with the BIG-IP hostname included and create the workbook, then as I iterate through the policies I write a worksheet in that workbook, starting with the header values from the data (I cheated as I knew all these and did it manually early in the process, but I could have also used refactored to use the native object keys as I did the values in the following steps) and then writing a row for each rule in the policy. Each policy gets its own worksheet, each rule gets its own row. A few of the fields returned in the json data didn't look that important to the rule's functionality, so I hid that in the output, but those columns are there if you need them. One nuance with XLSXWriter I had to work around was the issue with the source and destination fields that had their own curly brackets. These json blobs are natively dictionaries to python, and XLSXWriter doesn't handle dictionaries in source fields very well. So I had to rewrite the data as strings so they wouldn' get interpreted.
The Results
It could be beautified with the XLSXWriter formatting options, but the results turned out great.
Full script is available in this gist. How might you modify this to flesh out the rest of the functionality in a BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager configuration? Let me know down in the comments!

Diversidad de escarabajos coprofagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) en un bosque de galeria con tres estadios de alteracion

Abstract:
In a gallery forest in the oriental flat lands of Meta-Colombia, dung beetles associated to three sections inside a forest with different times of alteration by deforestation (50, 5 and 1 year) were studied. Pitfall traps were used to data collection. Richness, abundance and diversity of species were calculated, during the rain season. 2358 individuals of 22 species were captured. For the three sections Canthidium cupreum was the most dominant species. 27,3% from the total species is specific from a section, 40,9% was found in two of the three sections, and 31,8% is generalists. Brillouin index showed that the forest section of 5 years of alteration has the highest diversity with 1233 individuals and 16 species, followed by the forest section of 1 year with 607 individuals and 14 species and finally the forest section of 50 years with 518 individuals and 15 species. These results indicate that a proportional relation among conservation of a forest and dung beetles diversity does not exist, and suggests a positive correlation among transformed areas and high diversity index results. Probably selective deforestation is contributing to conserve dung beetles populations inside this ecosystem, and also to maintain functional processes for this kind of forests.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to print a form. You may implement this function with the steps given below.
1. Add a print function to your application.
To do this, you should add a PrintDocument component to your application. Please drag a PrintDocument from the toolbox to your form. After that, you should create a PrintDialog and add the code to print the document.
[C#]
private void buttonPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrintDialog printDialog1 = new PrintDialog();
printDialog1.Document = printDocument1;
DialogResult result = printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
printDocument1.Print();
}
2. Draw the form when printing.
This step is a little complex. You should handle the PrintPage of the printDocument1 and draw the form to the printer device. In the event you may copy the form to an image and then draw it to the printer device.
[C#]
using System.Drawing.Printing;
private void printDocument1_PrintPage( object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Graphics graphic = CreateGraphics();
Image memImage = new Bitmap( Size.Width, Size.Height, graphic );
Graphics memGraphic = Graphics.FromImage( memImage );
IntPtr dc1 = graphic.GetHdc();
IntPtr dc2 = memGraphic.GetHdc();
BitBlt( dc2, 0, 0, ClientRectangle.Width,
ClientRectangle.Height, dc1, 0, 0, 13369376 );
graphic.ReleaseHdc( dc1 );
memGraphic.ReleaseHdc( dc2 );
e.Graphics.DrawImage( memImage, 0, 0 );
}
3. Declare the API function.
Please note the BitBlt function used in Step 2. It is an unmanaged function. You should use ‘DllImport’ attribute to import it to your code. Although, this is the Step 3, you may perform this step anytime.
[C#]
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[ DllImport( 'gdi32.dll' ) ]
private static extern bool BitBlt( IntPtr hdcDest,
int nXDestint nYDest, int nWidthint nHeight,
IntPtr hdcSrcint nXSrcint nYSrc, System.Int32 dwRop );

A BlockUIContainer is a flow content element that allows UIElement to be hosted inside the flow content. This can be done as follows.
[XAML]
<FlowDocument ColumnWidth='400'>
<Section Background='GhostWhite'>
<Paragraph>
A UIElement element may be embedded directly in flow content
by enclosing it in a BlockUIContainer element.
</Paragraph>
<BlockUIContainer>
<Button>Click me!</Button>
</BlockUIContainer>
<Paragraph>
The BlockUIContainer element may host no more than one top-level
UIElement. However, other UIElements may be nested within the
UIElement contained by an BlockUIContainer element. For example,
a StackPanel can be used to host multiple UIElement elements within
a BlockUIContainer element.
</Paragraph>
<BlockUIContainer>
<StackPanel>
<Label Foreground='Blue'>Choose a value:</Label>
<ComboBox>
<ComboBoxItem IsSelected='True'>a</ComboBoxItem>

You can use one overload of the AddJob() method to print XML Paper Specification (XPS) files without opening a PrintDialog or in principle, any user interface (UI) at all. You can also print XML Paper Specification (XPS) files using the many Write() and WriteAsync() methods of the XPSDocumentWriter. Another way of printing XML Paper Specification (XPS) is to use the PrintDocument() or PrintVisual() methods of the PrintDialog control.
The main steps to use the three-parameter AddJob(String, String, Boolean) method are as follows.
The example below gives details.
1. Determine if the printer is an XPSDrv printer.
2. The printer is not an XPSDrv printer, set the thread’s apartment to a single thread.
3. Instantiate a print server and print queue object.
4. Call the method specifying a job name, the file to be printed and a Boolean flag indicating whether or not the printer is an XPSDrv printer.
[C#]
class Program
{
[System.MTAThreadAttribute()] // Added for clarity, but this line is redundant because MTA is the default.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create the secondary thread and pass the printing method for
// the constructor’s ThreadStart delegate parameter. The BatchXPSPrinter
// class is defined below.
Thread printingThread = new Thread(BatchXPSPrinter.PrintXPS);
// Set the thread that will use PrintQueue.AddJob to single threading.
printingThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
// Start the printing thread. The method passed to the Thread
// constructor will execute.
printingThread.Start();
}//end Main
}//end Program class
public class BatchXPSPrinter
{
public static void PrintXPS()
{
// Create print server and print queue.
LocalPrintServer localPrintServer = new LocalPrintServer();
PrintQueue defaultPrintQueue = LocalPrintServer.GetDefaultPrintQueue();
// Prompt user to identify the directory, and then create the directory object.
Console.Write('Enter the directory containing the XPS files: ');
String directoryPath = Console.ReadLine();
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(directoryPath);
// If the user mistyped, end the thread and return to the Main thread.
if (!dir.Exists)
{
Console.WriteLine('There is no such directory.');
}
else
{
// If there are no XPS files in the directory, end the thread
// and return to the Main thread.
if (dir.GetFiles('*.xps').Length == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine('There are no XPS files in the directory.');
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine('\nJobs will now be added to the print queue.');
Console.WriteLine('If the queue is not paused and the printer is working, jobs will begin printing.');
// Batch process all XPS files in the directory.
foreach (FileInfo f in dir.GetFiles('*.xps'))
{
String nextFile = directoryPath + '\\' + f.Name;
Console.WriteLine('Adding {0} to queue.', nextFile);
try
{
// Print the Xps file while providing XPS validation and progress notifications.
PrintSystemJobInfo xpsPrintJob = defaultPrintQueue.AddJob(f.Name, nextFile, false);
}
catch (PrintJobException e)
{
Console.WriteLine('\n\t{0} could not be added to the print queue.', f.Name);
if (e.InnerException.Message == 'File contains corrupted data.')
{
Console.WriteLine('\tIt is not a valid XPS file. Use the isXPS Conformance Tool to debug it.');
}
Console.WriteLine('\tContinuing with next XPS file.\n');
}
}// end for each XPS file
}//end if there are no XPS files in the directory
}//end if the directory does not exist
Console.WriteLine('Press Enter to end program.');
Console.ReadLine();
}// end PrintXPS method
}// end BatchXPSPrinter class

The example code begins by refreshing the current print queue object with PrintQueue’s Refresh property. This ensures that the object’s properties accurately represent the state of the physical printer that it represents. Then the application gets the collection of print jobs currently in the print queue by using the “GetPrintJobInfoCollection” method. Next the application loops through the PrintSystemJobInfo collection and compares each ’Submitter’ property with the alias of the complaining user. If they match, the application adds identifying information about the job to the string that will be presented. (The userName and jobList variables are initialized earlier in the application.)
[C#]
foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues)
{
pq.Refresh();
PrintJobInfoCollection jobs = pq.GetPrintJobInfoCollection();
foreach (PrintSystemJobInfo job in jobs)
{
// Since the user may not be able to articulate which job is problematic,
// present information about each job the user has submitted.
if (job.Submitter == userName)
{
atLeastOne = true;
jobList = jobList + '\nServer:' + line;
jobList = jobList + '\n\tQueue:' + pq.Name;
jobList = jobList + '\n\tLocation:' + pq.Location;
jobList = jobList + '\n\t\tJob: ' + job.JobName + ' ID: ' + job.JobIdentifier;
}
}// end for each print job
}// end for each print queue

In the example below, a second print queue is cloned from an existing print queue. The second differs from the first only in its name, location, port, and shared status. The major steps for doing this are as follows.
[C#]
LocalPrintServer myLocalPrintServer = new LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess.AdministrateServer);
PrintQueue sourcePrintQueue = myLocalPrintServer.DefaultPrintQueue;
PrintPropertyDictionary myPrintProperties = sourcePrintQueue.PropertiesCollection;
// Share the new printer using Remove/Add methods
PrintBooleanProperty shared = new PrintBooleanProperty('IsShared', true);
myPrintProperties.Remove('IsShared');
myPrintProperties.Add('IsShared', shared);
// Give the new printer its share name using SetProperty method
PrintStringProperty theShareName = new PrintStringProperty('ShareName', '\'Son of ' + sourcePrintQueue.Name +'\'');
myPrintProperties.SetProperty('ShareName', theShareName);
// Specify the physical location of the new printer using Remove/Add methods
PrintStringProperty theLocation = new PrintStringProperty('Location', 'the supply room');
myPrintProperties.Remove('Location');
myPrintProperties.Add('Location', theLocation);
// Specify the port for the new printer
String[] port = new String[] { 'COM1:' };
// Install the new printer on the local print server
PrintQueue clonedPrinter = myLocalPrintServer.InstallPrintQueue('My clone of ' + sourcePrintQueue.Name, 'Xerox WCP 35 PS', port, 'WinPrint', myPrintProperties);
myLocalPrintServer.Commit();
// Report outcome
Console.WriteLine('{0} in {1} has been installed and shared as {2}', clonedPrinter.Name, clonedPrinter.Location, clonedPrinter.ShareName);
Console.WriteLine('Press Return to continue ...');
Console.ReadLine();

Figure and Floater are used to embed content in Flow Documents with placement properties that can be customized independent of the primary content flow. Figure or Floater elements are often used to highlight or accentuate portions of content to host supporting images or other content within the main content flow or to inject loosely related content such as advertisements.
The following example shows how to embed a Figure into a paragraph of text.

Similarly, you can make phone numbers on your website “callable” meaning when someone clicks the phone number, it will launch the dialer on their mobile phone and initiate dialing of the specified phone number. It is recommended that you make phone numbers clickable as more and more people would be accessing your site on their mobile devices.
How to Insert Clickable Phone Numbers in Web Pages
We use the simple tel protocol to convert a plain text phone number on a web page into a clickable telephone link.
html-telephone-links.png
For instance, if you click this link on a mobile phone, it will open the phone dialer prefilled with the specified number. There’s no need to copy-paste numbers.
How to Type Phone Numbers in a Google Sheet
It is a bit tricky to type phone numbers inside Google Spreadsheets. Here’s why:
Phone numbers are mostly made of digits preceded by the plus (+) symbol. The problem is as soon as add the plus sign in the spreadsheet cell, it assumes that you entering a math formula and tries to calculate the value.
phone-number-formatting.png
There are two simple workarounds to this problem. You can enclose the phone number inside double quotes (“) and precede it with an equal to (=) sign.
An even easier alternative is to use the single quote (‘) before the phone number. Google Sheets will then interpret the cell’s value as text and the phone number formatting will be preserved.
How to Make Phone Numbers Clickable in Google Sheets
Coming to the main problem, how do you make phone numbers inside a Google Sheet clickable. The obvious answer would be to use the =HYPERLINK() method with the tel protocol but, unfortunately, Google Sheets do not support it.
So a formula like =HYPERLINK(“tel:12345”, “Call Me”) would not work since sheets will only allow regular http and mailto hyperlinks. There’s a simple workaround though.
google-sheet-phone-links.png
You can create a regular hyperlink in the cell pointing to a website which in turn redirects to the actual telephone link. To see this in action, add https://ctrlq.org/call/ before any phone number in the Google Sheet and it will turn into a clickable telephone link.
Say you have the phone number in cell A1. Add this simple formula in any other cell and it will create a telephone link just like on a regular webpage.
=HYPERLINK(“https://ctrlq.org/call/”&A1; “Call our support team”)
To get a better idea, open this Phone Number Google Sheet inside the Sheets app of your Android or iPhone and try clicking any of the phone links.

Know What Facebook Can See Inside Your Photographs https://www.labnol.org/internet/facebook-image-recognition/29222/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 12:27:02 +0000 https://www.labnol.org/?p=29222 When you upload any photograph to your Facebook account, they look at the actual content of the photograph and try to determine what objects and scenes are inside the image. You may not have added any description, yet Facebook can determine what that picture is all about.
Whether you are having a pizza, enjoying the sun on a beach, playing with your dog or spending an evening with friends, Facebook can accurately figure it out from the photo itself. They internally use these machine generated captions to make your pictures more accessible to blind users.
Facebook Computer Vision Tags
If you are curious to know what information Facebook visual recognition algorithms have found in your own pictures, here’s an easy way to view that data.
1. Open any photograph on the Facebook website and click the thumbnail to view the enlarged version of the image.
2. Right-click the image and choose Inspect to open the Chrome Dev Tools. This trick would work across all modern browsers since they have developer tools built-in.
3. Look at the alt attribute of the image tag* and you’ll find the description of the image as seen by Facebook (video tutorial).
[*] If the <img> tag is not visible in developer tool, you may need to expand the parent <div> tag.
Video Tutorial – Facebook Image Tags
Facebook’s computer vision tags cover multiple concepts including food, objects (e.g., eyeglasses), people’s expression (are they smiling?), sports, nature (sky, mountains), and more. The best part – if you are in a group photograph, Facebook can accurately tell you the exact number of people in the frame.
A Github user has created a Google Chrome extension that takes away all the manual work and overlays the tags on the pictures without you having to hunt inside the developer tool.

How to Add a Picture Password to your Google Forms https://www.labnol.org/internet/google-forms-captcha/13066/ Thu, 15 Dec 2016 15:58:51 +0000 http://www.labnol.org/?p=13066 Google Forms have this “all-or-none” problem. The forms are either public (anyone can fill your form) or, if you are on Google Apps, you can create forms that are visible to everyone in your organization. It is however not possible to restrict access to forms to specific people.
Another shortcoming is that Google Forms do not allow passwords or CAPTCHAs to prevent spam bots from filling your forms with random data. Google itself maintains the reCAPTCHA project but it is not known if integration with Google Forms is in the works. There is a workaround, though.

Google Forms do not support CAPTCHA but they do offer an option to attach images with questions. These can be used as picture passwords.
The idea is simple.
We add a multiple-choice question where the user is asked to pick an image from a selection of multiple images. If they select the correct image, the main form is displayed else an error message is shown. Also, these images are shuffled so the answer’s position is random for each respondent.
How to Make Google Forms with Picture Passwords
Take this sample Google Form for a spin and you’ll get the idea.
Open a new Google Form and create 3 sections. The first section will have the picture password, the second section will contain the error message and the last one will have the actual questions that you want to ask users who have passed the anti-spam test.
In the first section, create a multiple choice question and attach a different image with every choice. Make this a required question and turn on the shuffle order for the question. Also turn on the option “Go to section based on answer” for the section so that only valid answers are taken to the main form.
For each choice that is not valid, choose “Go to section 2” (see screenshot) and choose “Go to section 3” for the right choice. In section 2, do not add any questions but for the error message in the section description. Also set “Go to section 1” after section 2 so that the user cannot go to the main section 3 without passing the picture test.
Make the Google Form live and respondents will only see the main questionnaire if they have solved the problem in section 1. You should also check out another technique for restricting access to Google Forms with passwords.

How to Generate a Report of Bounced Email Addresses in Gmail https://www.labnol.org/internet/gmail-bounced-email-report/29209/ Wed, 14 Dec 2016 18:57:16 +0000 http://www.labnol.org/?p=29209 Some of the email messages you have sent through Gmail might not get delivered at all. There could be a problem with the recipient’s email address, their mailbox could be full or maybe the mail server could be specifically blocking your emails due to the content of the message.
When an email message is returned, you get a bounce-back notice from MAILER-DAEMON@gmail.com and it will always contain the exact reason for the delivery failure along with the SMTP error code. For instance, an error code 550 indicates that the email address doesn’t exist while a 554 indicates that your email was classified as spam by the recipient’s mail server.

How to Get a List of Email Addresses that Bounced
It is important to keep track of your bounced messages and remove all undelivered email addresses from your future mailings as they may adversly affect your sending reputation.
Mail Merge keeps track of all your bounced messages in Gmail but if you are using mail merge yet, here’s an open-source Google Script that will prepare a list of all email addresses that have bounced inside a Google Spreadsheet.
Gmail Bounce Report – Getting Started
Here’s how you can get started:
1. Go to labnol.org/bounce to make a copy of the Google Spreadsheet.
2. Click the Gmail menu (adjacent to Help) and choose Bounce Report.
3. Allow the Google Script to access* your Gmail account.
4. Watch as the Google Sheet is populated with bounced addresses.
[*] The sheet uses an open-source Google Script that runs inside your own account and doesn’t share even a byte of data with anyone.
The email bounce report includes the email address that bounced, the reason why that email failed to deliver and the date when the bounce occurred. The spreadsheet will also have a direct link to the bounced message received from MAILER-DAEMON@google.com.

An Undocumented Gmail Trick – Search Emails by Date and Time https://www.labnol.org/internet/gmail-search-tips/29206/ Tue, 13 Dec 2016 15:14:34 +0000 http://www.labnol.org/?p=29206 Gmail supports a plethora of search operators to help you instantly find that elusive email message buried in your mailbox. You have size search – like larger_than:5mb – to find the big messages in your account. File search – like has:attachment filename:doc – will locate email messages that contain file attachments of specific types. This graphic illustrates all the known search operators that work both on Gmail and Google Inbox.
Date Search in Gmail
Date search in Gmail helps you locate emails sent or received in a specific period. Here are some examples:
• newer_than:7d from:me – Emails sent in the last 7 days
• after:2016/12/01 to:me – Emails received in the month of December 2016
Specify Time Modifiers in Gmail Search
Gmail also supports time-based searches allowing you to find emails in the specific hour, minute or second. For instance, you can limit your Gmail search to emails that were received between Dec 10 8:15 PM and Dec 10, 2016 8:45 PM.
To get started, convert the date and time to Epoch time and then use the timestamp with the standard after or before search operator of Gmail.
For instance, the Epoch time for Dec 10, 2016 8:15 PM is 1481381100 and the Epoch time for Dec 10, 2016 8:45 PM is 1481382900. Use the search query after:1481381100 before:1481382900 and you’ll get a list of all emails received during that 30-minute period.
Epoch time is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). Use the Epoch converter to represent a human readable date and time in Epoch and use that timestamp with the before or after search operator of Gmail to find that elusive email.

Massage therapy is a popular technique that has been used for centuries to alleviate pain, stress, and tension in the body. In fact, this type of therapy has been incorporated into numerous rehabilitation treatments for general recovery. Moreover, the benefits of massage therapy go beyond relaxation and stress relief, as it has been shown to increase range of movement and flexibility in athletes and non-athletes alike.
Read on as we discover more about the benefits of massage therapy for range of movement today.
Understanding Range of Movement
Range of movement (ROM) refers to the full extent of movement of a joint, measured in degrees of motion. It is influenced by a variety of factors such as age, gender, genetics, and physical activity. A decrease in ROM can occur due to injury, surgery, or aging. Limited ROM can result in pain, discomfort, and difficulty performing daily activities.
How Massage Therapy Works
Massage therapy is a hands-on technique that involves the manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Massage works by applying pressure, stretching and kneading the muscles, which helps to increase blood flow, release tension, and promote relaxation. Regular massage can improve the overall health and function of the body, and can also increase flexibility and range of motion.
The Common Types of Massage Therapy
There are several types of massage therapy that can be used to increase range of movement and flexibility, including:
• Swedish Massage: Also known as a relaxation massage, this technique involves long strokes, kneading, and circular movements to promote relaxation and increase blood flow.
• Deep Tissue Massage: This technique involves deeper pressure and slower strokes to target specific areas of tension and release muscular adhesions.
• Sports Massage: This technique is designed for athletes and involves a combination of techniques to improve performance, prevent injuries, and promote recovery.
• Myofascial Release: This technique involves the application of pressure to the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs, to release tension and improve flexibility.
4 Benefits of Massage Therapy for Range of Movement
Massage therapy has been shown to have numerous benefits for increasing range of movement and flexibility, including:
1. Increased Blood Flow: Massage therapy increases blood flow to the muscles and joints, which can help to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Improved blood flow also delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the muscles, which promotes healing and recovery.
2. Reduced Muscle Tension: Massage therapy helps to release muscular tension, which can lead to increased flexibility and range of motion. Tight muscles can limit mobility and cause pain and discomfort.
3. Improved Joint Mobility: Massage therapy can help to improve joint mobility by reducing stiffness, increasing synovial fluid production, and promoting flexibility.
4. Enhanced Performance: Regular massage therapy can help to improve athletic performance by reducing the risk of injury and improving recovery time. Increased range of motion can also lead to better performance in sports and other physical activities.
Conclusion
Massage therapy is a safe and effective technique for increasing range of movement and flexibility. It works by increasing blood flow, reducing muscle tension, improving joint mobility, and enhancing performance. Whether you are an athlete or simply looking to improve your overall health and well-being, regular massage therapy can help to improve your mobility and quality of life. Consult with a licensed massage therapist to determine which technique is best for your individual needs.

He was born in 1740, the son of Frederick William I and his queen, Sophia Dorothea, a daughter of George I of Great Britain. As a boy he was bullied by his father, who thought nothing of whipping the child in front of shocked servants. His father was known is royal circles as ‘the royal drill-sergeant’, and with reason. Frederick William was a strict religionist, violent-tempered, notorious for his malreatment not only of his son but for women and servants too. It is not surprising that that the boy grew up to be peculiar.
When Frederickwas eighteen he had a passion for another youth, the son of a courtier called von Katte. When his father was told of the affair he ordered the friend beheaded in a courtyard, and forced his son to watch the execution from a window. Modern psychologists would be able to analyse Frederick’s strange mind as a result of his terrible upbringing.
When Frederick inherited from his awful father, he became a perfect example of an enlightened despot; he was a brilliant soldier and strategist, able in everything, a good administrator, and cultured in literature, writing, poetry and music. He firmly believed that a ruler must exercise absolute power, but always exercise it for the good of his subjects. It was Frederick who established full religious freedom in Prussia, and encouraged it in the countries of his allies. Perhaps with memories of his treatment at the hands of his father, he abolished torture, and freed the serfs on his own estates.
He adored the army, and filled it with tall, robust men. A man had to be six foot two in his stockings to be admitted to Frederick’s army. He taxed the people heavily but with a modicum of fairness. In matters of love he was beyond any doubt bi-sexual.
In foreign policy he was utterly ruthless, attacking Maria Theresa (Austria) in 1740, and winning Silesia. Having obtained it he fought hard to hold on to it during the Wars of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War, and hugely increased his already high reputation with his victories over the French at Rossbach (1537), and the Austrians at Leuthen, in the same year.
When poor Poland suffered one of her periodic partitions Frederick obtained West Prussia(1772), and he opposed Joseph II in the wars of the Bavarian Succession.
The beautiful rococo palace at Sans Souci (Potsdam) he designed and virtually built himself. When it was completed he played the flute himself at well-attended concerts in the grand salon, performing music composed by him. Sans Souci was ruined in the Secon War, but rebuilt in the modern era.
Frederick’s correspondence with the philosopher Voltaire has survived, can be read, and is full of wit and humour. It is one of the great surprises of History that Frederick became ‘the Great’, and achieved so much, considering the nightmare of his upbringing. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Three categories of genetic diagnosis were selected, based on the high prevalence of their causative genes: Stargardt disease (ABCA4), retinitis pigmentosa (EYS) and occult macular dystrophy (RP1L1). Fundus photographs and FAF images were cropped in a standardised manner with a macro algorithm. Images for training/testing were selected using a randomised, fourfold cross-validation method. The application program interface was established to reach the learning accuracy of concordance (target: >80%) between the genetic diagnosis and the machine diagnosis (ABCA4, EYS, RP1L1 and normal).Results A total of 417 images from 156 Japanese subjects were examined, including 115 genetically confirmed patients caused by the three prevalent causative genes and 41 normal subjects. The mean overall test accuracy for fundus photographs and FAF images was 88.2% and 81.3%, respectively. The mean overall sensitivity/specificity values for fundus photographs and FAF images were 88.3%/97.4% and 81.8%/95.5%, respectively.Conclusion A novel application of deep neural networks in the prediction of the causative IRD genes from fundus photographs and FAF, with a high prediction accuracy of over 80%, was highlighted. These achievements will extensively promote the quality of medical care by facilitating early diagnosis, especially by non-specialists, access to care, reducing the cost of referrals, and preventing unnecessary clinical and genetic testing.Data are available upon reasonable request.

Native tribes like the Fort Ancients, the Hopewell, and the Adena settled in Jackson County because of the natural salt deposits called licks. A salt lick is a naturally occurring deposit of salt that has to be dug out of wells. The water in the wells is called brine, and in the production of salt, the water would be evaporated or boiled away leaving only the salt behind.
After Europeans began to settle in what is now the United States, Native tribes were forced westward. When the fur trade began, eastern tribes like the Shawnee moved into the Ohio country in search of beaver pelts to trade with European settlers. The fur trade led to the Beaver Wars, in the course of which, Southern Ohio was nearly depopulated, and the tribes that were living in the Ohio River Valley were replaced by eastern tribes. However, the people that were living in Southern Ohio were not exterminated, though many were killed, those that remained in southern Ohio stayed and were assimilated into the eastern cultures that were moving in until further European expansion pushed the native tribes out of the Ohio Country altogether with the Treaty of Greenville after the Battle of Fallen Timbers. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/6/2019 (214 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In 2016, Ukrainians Canadians celebrated the 125th anniversary of the first arrival of Ukrainians to Canada and, in particular, to Manitoba.
No one leaves their country unless inspired by some selfless ideal, or compelled by reasons of an imperative nature such as politics or the economy. Manitoba played a significant role in the settlement of Ukrainians in Canada. From 1891 to 1914, our province was the first stopping place for many of these dispersed immigrants, the majority coming from western Ukraine. They were daring, dedicated, self-disciplined and filled with optimism.
The Great War of 1914-18 created difficulty for new Canadians to become natural citizens. Many Ukrainians came to Canada from a region that was under the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the start of the First World War. The Canadian government, under Sir Robert Borden, between 1914 and 1920, introduced internment camps throughout Canada, fearing that Ukrainians and other eastern European immigrants would have some form of affiliation with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This was an odd period in Canadian history — on one hand, many Ukrainian Canadians volunteered for service with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, thousands of innocent Ukrainians and other Europeans became civilian internees, having found themselves declared enemy aliens simply because of where they had come from.
The attitude of the Canadian government toward immigrants from enemy countries during and after the First World War was on full display during the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, because many strike workers in Winnipeg were immigrants who were presumed by some to be occupying jobs that should have been filled by returning soldiers.
The anti-strike Citizens Committee wanted the public to believe that returned soldiers were against the "enemy" aliens whom they believed were directing the Winnipeg General Strike. The committee created, in essence, an anti-immigrant propaganda scheme.
On May 15, 1919, the Winnipeg General Strike began, and thousands of unorganized workers joined those who were unionized in demanding that the provincial government guarantee the right of collective bargaining. By June 1, thousands of First World War veterans marched on the Manitoba legislature in support of the strike.
On June 21, there was a massive demonstration organized by the veterans, with a large involvement of immigrants in the strike. The North-West Mounted Police charged into the crowd on Main Street, swinging batons and firing at the protesters. With all the firing, only one man was killed, and another who was shot in the leg died later of gangrene infection as a result of his wounds. Both men were Ukrainian immigrants who shared a desire to become Canadian citizens.
Mike Sokolowski (a.k.a. Sokolowiski) was killed instantly by a shot through the head in front of city hall. He was buried at Winnipeg’s Brookside Cemetery (section 45, plot 450); his grave was unmarked for more than 80 years until June 20, 2003. As part of the Brookside Cemetery’s 125th anniversary, a donation was made to purchase a headstone for Sokolowski, who was from the Point Douglas area.
The other person, Steve Szczerbanowicz (a.k.a. Sheebaubucz, Schezerbanowicz, Schezerbanowes), was shot through both legs by a police officer. After he died because of a gangrene infection, nobody claimed his body. For 96 years, Szczerbanowicz was buried in an unmarked grave at Brookside Cemetery; on June 20, 2015, funds were raised to cover the cost of a gravestone in his memory (section 80, plot 7). No one will ever know whether Szczerbanowicz was a strike sympathizer, or just an individual curious as to what was going on during the riot.
To this day, the Ukrainian community doesn’t exactly know why Sokolowski and Szczerbanowicz were buried in unmarked graves for so many decades. They played a significant role in the events of June 1919; whether both were actively involved in the strike remains uncertain, but we can presume each was searching for a better life, seeking optimism in a new country.

Identifying Alcoholism: A Comprehensive Overview of Alcohol Tests
The experts at New Life Medical Addiction Services provide a comprehensive overview of alcohol tests
Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic and potentially devastating condition characterized by an individual’s inability to control their alcohol consumption despite its negative consequences on their health, relationships, and overall well-being. Early detection and intervention are crucial for effective treatment and improved outcomes. A variety of tests and assessments have been developed to identify alcoholism at different stages of its progression.
This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the different tests used to detect alcoholism.
1) CAGE Questionnaire:
The CAGE questionnaire is a brief and widely used screening tool that helps identify alcohol-related problems. It consists of four simple questions:
• Have you ever felt the need to gut down on your drinking?
• Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
• Have you ever felt guilty about drinking?
• Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (eye-opener) to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover?
A positive response to two or more questions suggests a potential alcohol problem and warrants further assessment.
2) AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test)
The AUDIT is a comprehensive screening tool designed to assess alcohol consumption patterns and related problems. It comprises ten questions that cover alcohol consumption, dependence symptoms, and adverse consequences. Scores on the AUDIT can help categorize individuals into different risk levels: low-risk, hazardous, harmful, and dependent drinking.
3) MAST (Michigan Alcohol Screening Test)
The MAST is a self-administered questionnaire used to assess the severity of alcohol dependence. It consists of 25 questions that explore various aspects of an individual’s drinking behavior and its impact on their life. A higher score indicates a greater likelihood of alcoholism.
4) SMAST-G (Short Michigan Alcohol Screening Test – Geriatric Version)
Designed specifically for older adults, the SMAST-G is a modified version of the MAST. It considers the unique physiological and psychological aspects of aging that may contribute to alcohol-related problems in the elderly.
5) Blood Tests
Certain blood markers can indicate chronic alcohol abuse and its effects on the body. Elevated liver enzymes, particularly gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), along with increased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in red blood cells, can be indicative of heavy alcohol consumption.
6) PEth Test (Phosphatidylethanol Test)
PEth is a direct alcohol biomarker that can be measured in blood samples. It is formed in the presence of ethanol and can provide information about an individual’s alcohol consumption over a period of several weeks.
7) Breathalyzer Test
A breathalyzer measures blood alcohol concentration (BAC) by analyzing the alcohol content in a person’s breath. While it doesn’t diagnose alcoholism directly, it can determine if someone has recently consumed alcohol.
8) Clinical Interviews
A comprehensive clinical interview conducted by a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or therapist, can delve into an individual’s drinking habits, history, and related consequences. This allows for a more in-depth assessment of alcohol use disorder.
9) Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-5)
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), provides standardized diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder. It outlines the various symptoms and severity levels of the disorder, helping clinicians make accurate diagnoses.
10) The Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) test
The Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) test has demonstrated remarkable efficacy as a method for detecting recent alcohol use, offering several advantages over traditional alcohol testing. By focusing on the presence of ethyl glucuronide, a direct metabolite of ethanol, in urine samples, the test provides an extended detection window of up to 80 hours. This extended timeframe is particularly advantageous in scenarios where monitoring recent alcohol consumption is crucial, such as legal cases, workplace safety, and addiction treatment.
The ETG test’s high sensitivity allows it to detect even low levels of alcohol consumption, providing an objective measurement that is not influenced by factors like tolerance or metabolism variations. As a result, the test is widely employed in probationary settings, addiction treatment programs, and professions that demand sobriety during working hours. However, alongside its efficacy, concerns have emerged about the potential for passive exposure leading to false-positive results, the privacy implications of urine sample collection, and the need to strike a balance between monitoring and respecting individual rights.
Concerns About the ETG Test:
While the Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) test offers a valuable means of detecting recent alcohol use, several concerns have surfaced that warrant careful consideration. One significant issue involves the potential for passive exposure to alcohol sources other than consumption, such as hand sanitizers, medications, or cosmetic products containing alcohol. This can lead to false-positive results, posing challenges in accurately interpreting the test outcomes. Additionally, the collection of urine samples for the ETG test raises privacy concerns and ethical questions.
Ensuring the confidentiality of personal information and preventing tampering with samples is essential to maintain trust and respect individual rights. Striking the right balance between the need for monitoring and an individual’s dignity and autonomy is another area of concern, particularly in situations where the test’s extended detection window might be perceived as invasive. Addressing these concerns through transparent protocols, education about potential sources of passive exposure, and maintaining a strong ethical framework is paramount for responsible and effective implementation of the ETG test.
11) Observation and Behavioral Assessment
Family members, friends, and healthcare providers can observe an individual’s behavior and its impact on their daily life. Behavioral changes, social withdrawal, neglect of responsibilities, and physical health issues can be signs of alcoholism.
Alcoholism is a serious health concern that can have profound effects on individuals and their loved ones. Early detection is essential for timely intervention and effective treatment. The array of tests mentioned above, ranging from questionnaires and biomarkers to clinical evaluations, provide a multifaceted approach to identifying alcoholism and determining its severity.

David Cecil (courtier)
Sir David Cecil, JP (c. 1460 – c. 1540) was a Welsh landowner, courtier, and Member of Parliament. He is noted as a paternal-line ancestor of the Cecil family which later attained prominence and rose to the peerage, including the extant marquessates of Exeter and Salisbury.
He was born into a Welsh family, the third son of Richard Cecil ap Philip Seisyllt of Alt-yr-Ynys on the border of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, but settled near Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Cecil was an alderman of Stamford in 1504–05, 1515–16 and 1526–27. He was made a Yeoman of the Chamber by 1506, a position he held for the rest of his life. He was elected as one of the Members of Parliament for Stamford in 1504, 1510, 1512, 1515 and 1523. He was a serjeant-at-arms from 1513 to his death and appointed Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Rutland from 1532 and High Sheriff of Northamptonshire from June 1532 to November 1533.
He probably died in September 1540 and was buried in St George's Church, Stamford. He had married twice: firstly Alice, the daughter of John Dicons of Stamford, with whom he had two sons and secondly Jane, the daughter of Thomas Roos of Dowsby, Lincolnshire and widow of Edward Villers of Flore, Northamptonshire, with whom he had a daughter. He was succeeded by his son Richard. | WIKI |

Manafort trial Day 7: Gates wraps testimony, tensions flare
As Rick Gates wrapped up his testimony against his former boss Paul Manafort on Wednesday, the defense got in an attention-grabbing parting shot at the government's star witness: suggesting Gates had as many as four extramarital affairs during the time he was working for Manafort. On the witness stand Tuesday at Manafort's tax- and bank-fraud trial in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, Gates acknowledged under defense questioning that he had an extramarital relationship with a woman in London that may have been facilitated in part by several hundred thousands of dollars in funds Gates has admitted stealing while he worked for Manafort's international political consulting firm. However, just as Gates was about to conclude his testimony Wednesday morning, defense attorney Kevin Downing hit the former Manafort aide with a question that indicated Gates' "secret life" involved multiple instances of marital infidelity. "Do you recall telling the Office of Special Counsel you actually engaged in four extramarital affairs?" Downing said, prompting an immediate objection on relevance grounds from prosecutor Greg Andres, who is one of the attorneys arguing the case on behalf of special counsel Robert Mueller. Downing insisted the question was legitimate because Andres had just stressed that Gates' plea deal could be tossed out and he could face as much as 100 years in prison if he lied while on the witness stand. "It's going to go to your ripping up his plea agreement for lying yesterday," the defense attorney said. Andres indicated he was uncomfortable arguing the issue in front of the jury, so the judge ordered a sidebar conference that lasted about 10 minutes. When the discussion concluded, Downing moved on to a more generic question about Gates' "secret life," asking him whether it spanned the five years over which Gates has admitted embezzling funds. Gates began to answer with a broad acknowledgment of fallibility. "I'd say I've made many mistakes over my years...." he said. At that point, Judge T.S. Ellis III cut him off. "This isn't the time for that," the judge said. Gates then confirmed that the "secret life" he seemed to have confessed to did in fact take place during the period he was pilfering money. In an exchange before Downing raised the possibility that Gates was involved in four extramarital affairs, the former Manafort aide said his boss at least knew about his London affair. "Did you tell him?" Andres asked. "I did," Gates said. "Was he supportive?" the prosecutor said. "He was," Gates replied. "Did he fire you?" Andres asked. "He did not," Gates said. The testimony brought to an anticlimactic end Gates' 10 hours on the witness stand over three days. FBI accountant & IRS agent details Manafort’s foreign financial dealings With both the substantive and salacious aspects of Gates' appearance out of the way, prosecutors took a major step toward wrapping up their case. The next witnesses up on Wednesday were a pair of technical experts: FBI forensic accountant Morgan Magionos and IRS Revenue Agent Michael Welch. Magionos laid out for the jury the byzantine international financial dealings that are at the heart of the charges against Manafort. An FBI specialist assigned to Mueller’s investigation, she detailed her work tracing the origins of 31 Manafort foreign bank accounts in Cyprus, the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the United Kingdom. The FBI found Manafort’s name attached to everything from accounting records to signature cards and vendor records, as well as copies of his passport that were found among documents used to open the offshore accounts, according to Magionos. She also testified Wednesday that the FBI obtained the banking material via subpoenas to both the defendant and the British banking heavyweight HSBC. It also got documents from Cyprus and the Grenadines via treaties on mutual legal assistance. Welch testified that his analysis of payments Manafort got overseas and personal expenses the veteran lobbyist had paid directly from offshore accounts showed that he'd understated his income by millions of dollars. Prosecutors have said the total amount of income omitted was at least $15 million between 2010 and 2014. However, Manafort isn't charged with one count of filing a false tax return, but with five such counts for each year. So, the prosecution needs to prove that the longtime consultant's income was understated substantially each year. Welch's testimony was aimed at addressing that issue, as well as the fact that Americans with businesses holdings abroad can sometimes legally defer taxes on that money until they bring it to the U.S. The IRS agent said that Manafort's stated income was too low, regardless of whether one looked at when the money rolled in from the Ukrainian businessmen who funded the political consulting or when Manafort used that money to pay his personal bills in the U.S. The prosecution witness said Manafort's tax forms were short even when overlooking some expenses that Manafort paid from foreign accounts, including nearly $50,000 directed to a company renting Italian villas, about $19,000 to a horse riding academy, 132,000 euros paid to a yacht sale and rental firm and $45,000 paid to a Florida dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures. During cross-examination of Welch, Downing managed to again raise the issue of Gates' admission that he inflated his expense accounts. The defense attorney asked whether Manafort would be entitled to a deduction for that. "A business is entitled to take a dollar-for-dollar deduction for embezzlement?" Downing asked. "Yes," Welch said. However, a short time later under questioning by prosecutor Uzo Asonye, Welch said Manafort wouldn't be eligible for that deduction if he'd never declared the money as income in the first place. Judge Ellis and Andres at odds again Tensions flared up again during the trial between Andres and Ellis, who has repeatedly criticized the prosecutor’s courtroom etiquette, faulting him for various indiscretions such as not making eye contact when the judge is speaking to him. The source of friction Wednesday morning was what Ellis perceived as the Mueller prosecutor's overly casual responses to questions. At one point while Gates was on the stand and jurors were in the courtroom, Ellis asked the prosecutor a question about whether his questions followed on an earlier line of inquiry by the defense. “Yeah,” Andres responded. “What?” Ellis said, sounding incredulous and irritated. “Yes,” Andres replied. The exchange earned Andres a scolding. “Be careful about that,” he told Andres. “This is not an informal proceeding.” Despite the warning, moments later, Andres offered what sounded like a “yup” in response to another question from the judge. “I beg your pardon?” Ellis intoned, his irritation evident. “Yes, Judge,” Andres answered. The judge and the Mueller lawyer sparred again an hour later — with the jury out of the room and just before the FBI forensic accountant took the stand. Ellis again got on the special counsel’s case to expedite its work and questioned whether the team need to display dozens of charts to the court that summarize all aspects of their charges against Manafort. “As a concession to the shortness of life, we need to get it done,” Ellis said. The judge’s remark, which is connected to a lingering dispute with Manafort’s attorneys over just how many documents the government can show the jury, set off Andres. “We’re not delaying this trial,” Andres said, noting they were working to meet Ellis’s demands to keep the trial moving. “I’m at a loss,” the prosecutor added. Ellis, meantime, recognized his pace was causing turmoil in the court. “Judges should be patient, and they made a mistake when they confirmed me,” he said in urging both Andres and defense counsel to reach agreements that could avoid slowing down the trial. As the court took its midday break, Andres seemed eager to tamp down any tension from the earlier exchanges. “Have a nice lunch, Judge,” the prosecutor said. Manafort lawyer pegs client's wealth at $20 million Gates was on the witness stand for only about an hour Wednesday morning. His testimony began with the defense asking fewer than 10 minutes‘ worth of additional questions following up on the more detailed and intense cross-examination Tuesday. Kevin Downing, the defense attorney, sought to show that Manafort acted as if he had nothing to hide back in 2014 when FBI agents interviewed him and Gates about whether one of the firm's biggest clients, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, had stashed millions of dollars in ill-gotten funds overseas. Gates readily conceded that Manafort told him at the time to be responsive to the FBI's inquiries. "He indicated that we should be open and provide the information about the questions that were asked of us," said the former Manafort aide. Gates added that Manafort agreed that it was fine to talk to the FBI about the offshore accounts in Cyprus that were used to compensate the American consultants doing political work in Ukraine. The defense then asked a brief series of questions about Manafort's net worth, apparently seeking to undercut prosecution suggestions that after the Ukraine work dried up, Manafort was so desperate for cash that he couldn't pay his taxes or his American Express bills. Downing suggested Manafort had a net worth of about $20 million in 2015 and 2016. Gates said he thought it was probably in the range of $6 million to $10 million, but didn't know enough about the values of Manafort's real estate holdings to be sure. The prosecution then got a chance to address what it contended were misconceptions left during the nearly four hours Gates spent under cross-examination. Andres elicited that both Manafort and Gates didn’t believe they were personally under investigation at the time of the 2014 FBI interviews and that they were never asked to produce their tax returns. "After this FBI interview, was there any follow-up?" Andres asked. "No. There was not," Gates replied. Despite the modest interest the FBI appeared to show in the pair's finances back then, Manafort was not totally nonchalant about the inquiries. In fact, he actually dispatched Gates to inform one of the Ukrainian oligarchs who funded the political work that the FBI had come calling, the witness said. "He asked me to go meet with one of the Ukrainian businessmen and to inform him of the FBI interview," Gates recalled. Rehashing Tuesday's testimony Andres also got Gates to say that two key points the defense made Tuesday were not really what they seemed. During cross-examination Tuesday, Downing indicated that Gates' plea deal called for the government to offer no resistance if his defense attorneys asked for a sentence of mere probation on the felony conspiracy and false statement charges he pleaded guilty to in February. However, on Wednesday, Gates confirmed and jurors saw that the text of his plea agreement actually says the government "may not" oppose probation depending on the results of his cooperation. Andres suggested Downing had tried to pull a fast one. "When Mr. Downing questioned you about this, did he show you this document?" the prosecutor said. "No," Gates replied. The defense has also contended that Gates admitted to stealing from Manafort, but under questioning by Andres on Wednesday, Gates argued that this wasn't true. He said the padded expenses he submitted didn't come out of Manafort's bottom line because the overseas contracts the firm worked on generally stuck the clients with expenses. Andres said near the end of Wednesday's testimony that the prosecution expected to call eight more witnesses and to rest its case by Friday afternoon. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Hydnoroideae
Hydnoroideae is a subfamily of parasitic flowering plants in the order Piperales. Traditionally, and as recently as the APG III system it given family rank under the name Hydnoraceae. It is now submerged in the Aristolochiaceae. It contains two genera, Hydnora and Prosopanche:
* Prosopanche is native to Central and South America ;
* Hydnora can be found in semi-arid to desert regions of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Madagascar.
Members of this subfamily have been described as the strangest plants in the world.
Description
The most striking aspect of the Hydnoroideae is probably the complete absence of leaves (not even in modified forms such as scales). Some species are mildly thermogenic (capable of producing heat), presumably as a means of dispersing their scent.
Ecology
The plants are pollinated by insects such as dermestid beetles or carrion flies, attracted by the fetid odor of the flowers. In Hydnora africana there are bait bodies with a strong smell, whereas in Hydnora johannis the scent comes from a region at the tip of the perianth called a cucullus. The flowers may be above ground or underground. The fruits have edible, fragrant pulp, which attracts animals such as porcupines, monkeys, jackals, rhinoceros, and armadillos, as well as humans. The host plants, in the case of Hydnora, generally are in the family Euphorbiaceae and the genus Acacia. Hosts for Prosopanche include various species of Prosopis and other legumes.
Biochemistry
The plants contain high levels of tannins.
Genomics
The complete plastid genome sequence of one species of Hydnoroideae, Hydnora visseri, has been determined. As compared to the chloroplast genome of its closest photosynthetic relatives, the plastome of Hydnora visseri shows extreme reduction in both size (27,233 bp) and gene content (24 genes appear to be functional). The plastome of Hydnora visseri is therefore one of the smallest among flowering plants.
Classification
Like many parasitic plants, the affinities with non-parasitic plants are not obvious, and 19th and 20th century botanists proposed a variety of placements for the taxon. Molecular data places them in the Piperales, and nested within the Aristolochiaceae and allied with the Piperaceae or Saururaceae. | WIKI |

How to Implement a Registration Form
4.2 version
Maintained Unmaintained
How to Implement a Registration Form
The basics of creating a registration form are the same as any normal form. After all, you are creating an object with it (a user). However, since this is related to security, there are some additional aspects. This article explains it all.
Before you get Started
To create the registration form, make sure you have these 3 things ready:
1) Install MakerBundle
Make sure MakerBundle is installed:
1
$ composer require symfony/maker-bundle --dev
If you need any other dependencies, MakerBundle will tell you when you run each command.
2) Create a User Class
If you already have a User class, great! If not, you can generate one by running:
1
$ php bin/console make:user
For more info, see 2a) Create your User Class.
3) (Optional) Create a Guard Authenticator
If you want to automatically authenticate your user after registration, create a Guard authenticator before generating your registration form. For details, see the 3a) Authentication & Firewalls section on the main security page.
Adding the Registration System
To easiest way to build your registration form is by using the make:registration-form command:
New in version 1.11: The make:registration-form was introduced in MakerBundle 1.11.0.
1
$ php bin/console make:registration-form
This command needs to know several things - like your User class and information about the properties on that class. The questions will vary based on your setup, because the command will guess as much as possible.
When the command is done, congratulations! You have a functional registration form system that's ready for you to customize. The generated files will look something like what you see below.
RegistrationFormType
The form class for the registration form will look something like this:

class RegistrationFormType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('email')
->add('plainPassword', PasswordType::class, [
// instead of being set onto the object directly,
// this is read and encoded in the controller
'mapped' => false,
'constraints' => [
new NotBlank([
'message' => 'Please enter a password',
]),
new Length([
'min' => 6,
'minMessage' => 'Your password should be at least {{ limit }} characters',
'max' => 4096
]),
],
])
;
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => User::class,
]);
}
}
Notice that the plainPassword field has a max length of 4096 characters. For security purposes (CVE-2013-5750), Symfony limits the plain password length to 4096 characters when encoding it. Adding this constraint makes sure that your form will give a validation error if anyone tries a super-long password.
You'll need to add this constraint anywhere in your application where your user submits a plaintext password (e.g. change password form). The only place where you don't need to worry about this is your login form, since Symfony's Security component handles this for you.
RegistrationController
The controller builds the form and, on submit, encodes the plain password and saves the user:

<button class="btn">Register</button>
{{ form_end(registrationForm) }}
{% endblock %}
Adding a "accept terms" Checkbox
Sometimes, you want a "Do you accept the terms and conditions" checkbox on your registration form. The only trick is that you want to add this field to your form without adding an unnecessary new termsAccepted property to your User entity that you'll never need.
To do this, add a termsAccepted field to your form, but set its mapped option to false:

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\IsTrue;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\CheckboxType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\EmailType;
class UserType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('email', EmailType::class);
// ...
->add('termsAccepted', CheckboxType::class, [
'mapped' => false,
'constraints' => new IsTrue(),
])
);
}
}
The constraints option is also used, which allows us to add validation, even though there is no termsAccepted property on User.
Manually Authenticating after Success
If you're using Guard authentication, you can automatically authenticate after registration is successful. The generator may have already configured your controller to take advantage of this.

Talk:Enola Gay/GA1
GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''
Reviewer: Ian Rose (talk · contribs) 05:12, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
I have another GAN review to do before this but thought I'd stake my claim now... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:12, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Toolbox check -- no dab links but FN12 and FN44 links seem to be dead or at least moved. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:01, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Structure
* Lead might be a little short; it should probably at least mention something about the storage/restoration between WWII and 1995 to summarise the whole article.
* Added. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
* Um, I think you tweaked the lead but didn't see any new stuff covering the period of storage/restoration from WWII to 1995 -- that's a pretty large chunk of the article that isn't really summarised in the lead. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 02:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
* I rewrote the lead but the change seems to have gotten lost. Restored it. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
* You too?! This article/GAN has clearly been infiltrated by gremlins... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:16, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
* Since you combine the Hiroshima and Nagasaki missions in one section, with subheaders for each, why not do the same for the crews?
* Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Prose/detail
Lead
* Not sure we need to link bomber, especially with B-29 linked immediately before.
* "due to a controversy over original historical script" -- I think "owing to" is preferred over "due to" but, in any case, the rest of the wording seems odd; do you mean "controversy (no "a") over an original historical script"?
* I've re-worded this. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
World War II
* "B-29-45-MO, AAF Serial Number 44-86292" -- Do I take it the first figure is Boeing's serial number, and "AAF" in the second means the USAAF's serial? If so, perhaps spell out the first and at least link "AAF" to USAAF.
* No, that is not right. 45-MO is the block number; B-29-45-MO is the model number. According to my records, this block was aircraft with serial numbers 44-86277 to 44-86315. Only two were Silverplated, 44-86291 (Necessary Evil) and 44-86292 (Enola Gay). Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
* Okay, so can we spell out the first figure for the reader, as you've done with the second and third? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 02:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
* Spelt it out Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
* "modified engines" -- anything more specific, e.g. "upgraded" or "more powerful" (would also eliminate the "modifications"/"modified" repetition) in the sentence.
* Fuel injection. A flowmeter/manifold. Better cooling so the engines didn't catch fire nearly so often. Added. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Nagasaki
* I don't think it's clear that the primary target was Kokura. Suggest mentioning both the primary and secondary targets of the mission after the first sentence, then the significance of Enola Gay's weather report for Kokura becomes apparent.
* Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Mission crews
* Think lower case for the roles, e.g. "pilot and aircraft commander", or at least sentence case, but definitely not title case.
* Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Subsequent history
* Suggest brief explanation after mention of Op Crossroads, otherwise the connection to the potential test drop at Bikini Atoll isn't immediately obvious.
* Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
* Does AmEng take double "R" in "transferred"?
* Yes. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Referencing
* Obviously you didn't start this one from scratch -- are you personally convinced of the standard of all the references? Is Cybermodeler, for instance, really an RS?
* Replaced with a better cite. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
* I don't think "BBC Documentary Hiroshima" is very satisfactory as a citation... ;-)
* Replaced with a better cite. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Supporting materials
* Image licencing appears okay.
* File:Enola Gay-27527-1.jpg and File:B-29 Superfortress ENOLA GAY 4.jpg are pretty similar so I think we could afford to lose one -- no pref on my part which.
* File:Enola Gay cockpit.jpg and File:Enola Gay-27527-2.jpg are also similar -- I think the latter is superior so would lose the former.
* Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:41, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
* Okay, happy with all changes -- passing as GA, well done. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:16, 28 April 2013 (UTC) | WIKI |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Do you provide a free service?
A. Unlike Extreme Server vendors, as a legal licensee and sub-licensee, we are contractually obligated to our content owners. This affords us to provide flawless and ongoing streaming transmission without any video disruptions or buffering delays.
Q. Do you offer VOD content as well as live TV channels?
A. Yes, we can offer content of a wide selection of VOD genres as well as live TV. We can acquire a wide range of quality content (sports, TV series, kids, learning etc.) based on the needs of each client.
Q. Do you possess the ownership or distribution rights of the video content?
A. Cast-TV offers an IPTV platform for video providers. We can secure and deliver video content to meet our clients' needs. However, we do not own any video content. We do not have any ownership or distribution rights of the content. Being that we offer our proprietary user interface platform, we strictly act as a facilitator between content owners and video providers.
Q. How will the TV traffic impact our network?
A. All TV and video channels are multicast across the network so the level of traffic does not increase with the number of viewers. All channels will be present on the backbone of the network and the amount of traffic generated can be calculated as the number of channels multiplied by the bit rate channel. For example, if 10 channels are required at a bit rate of 4.0 Mbps, (Megabits per second) the total bandwidth utilized will be 4.0 Mbps.Multicast management protocols ensure that streams that are not required on a particular network segment are not forwarded to that segment. This means for instance, that only one stream is present on the local switchboard connection to an individual PC running IPTV since only one channel is displaying at a time on that one PC.
Q. Can we choose which channels we have enabled?
A. Yes. Cast-TV's IPTV distribution solution allows you to create a tailored channel selection.
Q. Will an increase in users affect our network?
A. No. Because the IPTV system uses Multicasting to distribute the video streams you can have as many users connected as you wish and it will not make any difference to the amount of bandwidth used.
Q. Can we have the IPTV user interface customized to our corporate brand, as a white label product?
A. Yes. The Cast-TV IPTV user interface can be customized to include your corporate colors and branding. We can design a white label platform and the most advanced multi-screen systems that are available on the market today.
Q. Is there any difference in quality when viewing IPTV compared with traditional TV distribution technologies?
A. Yes. The streaming video channels of IPTV are digital which means they do not suffer the deterioration caused in traditional analogue distribution systems producing a noticeably better quality picture. An IPTV Gateway streams the TV signals received from Freeview or satellite without change which means the quality is exactly the same as transmitted. IPTV encoders with either analogue or digital inputs in a variety of formats can be set to stream at a high rate for highest quality or a low rate for minimum bandwidth.
Q. How easy is it to add more channels in the future?
A. Adding channels to a Klicktv IPTV system is simple. Just add another IPTV encoder for a local source or gateway module for Terrestrial or Satellite channels and plug it into a spare port on your network switch.
Q. Are there any distance limitations?
A. Distance limitations are the same as for standard Ethernet. Wherever you can install a data network outlet IPTV will work.
Q. What is the recommended browsing speed for viewing video content via OTT?
A. You can view video at all speeds. However, to make the most out of your viewing experience, it is recommended that you ensure your surfing package offers at least 5 MB.
Q. What sets Cast-TV apart from other IPTV players on the market?
A. Cast-TV delivers a comprehensive IPTV turnkey solution. We have invested our resources into simplifying the complex technology built around IPTV infrastructure and software. As a client, you will benefit of having a designated single point of contact that will help to equip you with the necessary know-how and lay out for you our end to end responsibilities from start to finish.
Q. Do you offer your services to private individuals?
A. No, our services are designed for video providers, such as telco carriers, cable operators, and ISP's that offer an OTT and IPTV service to their subscribers.
Q. Do you offer any productivity and security software tools to complement your IPTV platform?
A. We offer state-the-art fully custmizable and localizable IPTV Portal, a fully integrated CRM (Customer Relationship Management) featuring subscriber and billing management, CMS (Customer Monitoring System) to generate subscriber viewing traffic and connectivity volume, CDN (Content Delivery Management) to control content restrictions and periodic content updating, as well as a software protection tool against malicious ddos hardware and software attacks.

A decade on from disaster, Austrian bank BAWAG plans IPO
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria’s former trade union bank BAWAG [CCMLPB.UL] is planning a stock market debut later this year to set the seal on a decade-long recovery from its near collapse in a fraud scandal. The initial public offering (IPO) looks set to be the country’s largest for at least 10 years, and would provide an opportunity for its majority owner, U.S. private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, to cash in on its investment. Sources close to the matter told Reuters in June the listing of a 20-30 percent stake could value Austria’s fourth-biggest lender at up to 5 billion euros ($5.9 billion). BAWAG had to be bailed out in 2006 when it narrowly escaped a bank run after being sued by creditors of collapsed U.S. futures trader Refco, a BAWAG affiliate. It was then sold to Cerberus [CBS.UL] and other investors for 3.2 billion euros. Following investigations into the scandal, a Vienna court sentenced nine people to prison in 2008, including a former BAWAG CEO, for their role in causing losses of as much as 1.7 billion euros at the bank in failed bets on risky derivative investments held in off-balance sheet vehicles. BAWAG has since been turned around through strict cost controls, including a deal to share some of Austrian Post’s (POST.VI) branches that is coming up for review as the bank focuses increasingly on online services. Moody’s upgraded BAWAG in April to A2, its highest rating for an Austrian bank, citing the lender’s high profitability and improving capitalization. “Our planned listing will be a major milestone for BAWAG Group and our existing shareholders,” Chief Executive Anas Abuzaakouk said in a statement announcing the IPO, a day after Austrian gambling firm Novomatic ditched its own listing plan. “Today BAWAG Group stands as one of the best capitalized and largest banks in Austria ... with a number of growth opportunities,” he later added. Wednesday’s announcement formally launches the IPO process, which usually takes about a month. On timing, BAWAG said only that if market conditions permitted, the listing was expected to take place in the fourth quarter. Telekom Austria (TELA.VI) raised 1.2 billion euros in an IPO in 2000, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBIV.VI) raised 1.1 billion euros in 2005 and construction firm Strabag (STRV.VI) raised 1.3 billion euros in 2007, shortly before the global financial crisis hit and put the brakes on company listings. Unlike larger Austrian banks such as Erste Group (ERST.VI) and Raiffeisen, BAWAG has not turned to the less developed economies of eastern Europe in its quest for growth. Instead, it has focused on Austria, Switzerland and Germany, which it refers to as the DACH region and where it sees room for consolidation. It signed an agreement in July to buy German regional lender Suedwestbank and said on Wednesday other German targets were part of a “decent” acquisitions pipeline. “We don’t comment on the different levels or stages of transactions that we’re at but we think it’s a pretty robust pipeline as far as opportunities across the DACH region (are concerned), which means Germany in particular and then Austria as well,” Abuzaakouk told reporters. BAWAG, founded in 1922 as the Austrian workers’ bank, said it was aiming to increase pretax profit by 5 percent a year and to pay 50 percent of its net profit to shareholders. It also expects to have more than 1 billion euros in excess capital available for acquisitions or expanding its existing business through 2020, and any money left over from that would also be paid to shareholders after an annual review, it said.

HAPPIFUL HACKS
5 breathing techniques to manage stress
Becky Banham
By Becky Banham,
updated on Dec 8, 2021
Practical ways to calm your breath to ease stress and anxiety right now
Stress is a normal part of our lives. The way we’re built as humans means that certain events and situations can trigger our stress response system, creating internal panic and alarming our body of danger.
But, although stress is a natural, human response, if experienced regularly, this fight or flight mechanism can play havoc with our wellbeing. The physical symptoms of stress include rapid inhalation, high blood pressure and increased heart rate.
One often underestimated tool to ease these symptoms is harnessing the power of the breath. In fact, deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower your stress levels, as the process sends messages to your brain to calm down and recentre.
There are lots of breathing techniques that will help you relax, many of which are taught in education environments to help students prepare for exams and stressful situations. Therefore, we’ve enlisted the help of Richard Evans, education expert at The Profs to share five tried and tested breathing techniques that can help you manage stress.
1. Lion’s breath
This technique stretches the muscles in your face and relieves any tension. It’s a fun way to ease the mind through energetic breathing.
• Position yourself into a comfortable seated position to begin.
• Press your palms against your knees and spread your fingers wide.
• Inhale deeply through your nose and open your eyes wide. During this time open your mouth wide and bring the tip of your tongue towards your chin.
• As you exhale out, make a long ‘ha’ sound.
• Repeat this two to three times.
2. Equal breathing
This style of breathing is great for restoring focus and calming your nervous systems. The equal aspect helps you to create rhythm and harmony, which brings your mind to the present moment.
• Position yourself into a comfortable seated position to begin.
• Breathe in and out through your nose. During inhalation and exhalation, count to make sure your breaths are equal in duration.
• Continue this for at least five minutes.
3. 4-7-6 breath
This common technique helps to instantly relieve stress. It was developed to reduce any signs of nervousness, stress and even help you to get a good night’s sleep.
• For best results, sit or stand with a straight back to allow your lungs to expand.
• With your mouth closed, press your tongue gently on the roof of your mouth, breathe in slowly through your nose for four seconds.
• Hold your breath for seven seconds.
• Audibly exhale ‘woosh’ for eight seconds, keeping your tongue pressed in the roof of your mouth.
• Repeat for four full cycles.
4. Box breathing
This technique can be done at any time during the day or night. The short yet concise breathing helps to take your mind away from distracting thoughts.
• Sit upright in a comfortable position.
• Breathe in for four seconds, hold in for four and breathe out for four.
• Repeat this for four minutes or until you feel calm.
5. Alternate nostril breathing
This technique is common in reducing high levels of anxiety and stress. It’s a common part of yoga and allows your brain to reach a state of relaxation.
• Sit in a comfortable position either on the floor or chair. Ensure you’ve breathed out fully before beginning.
• Close the right nostril with the thumb of one hand and breathe in through the left nostril.
• Close the left nostril with one finger and release the thumb.
• Breathe out and in through the right nostril.
• Close the right nostril with the thumb and release your finger before breathing out through the left nostril.
How do breathing techniques work?
According to counsellor Andrew Keefe, it’s all to do with two areas of the nervous system; the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
“If we feel anxious or worried, it's often because we sense something bad or scary is about to happen. This is because the amygdala, the brain’s alarm system, has detected what it deems to be a threat or risk to our safety, and is getting the body ready to respond.
“Messages in the form of stress hormones are sent to the heart to get it to beat faster, to the lungs to take in and distribute more oxygen, and to the muscles to get them ready for action. These signals run along the SNS - the part of the nervous system responsible for getting the body ready for exertion.
“The PNS, by contrast, is responsible for calming the brain and body down, and it is engaged by long, slow, deep breathing. Slowing your breathing down will slow down your heart rate, and the heart is connected via the vagal nerve with the non-verbal area of the brain, which houses the alarm system, the amygdala.”
Breathing exercises not only help you to restore peace to your body, but they also allow you to practise mindfulness - living in and appreciating the present moment.
As the world around us continues to adapt and change, we will likely come up against new challenges in the coming months. But, by learning small practices like these breathing techniques to help us manage stress and calm our breath, we’re arming ourselves with a toolkit to help us prioritise our wellbeing in the face of adversity.
But, if you’re struggling to achieve a calmer state of mind and are looking for longer-term support, speaking to a therapist can help.

XML Namespaces
[Updated: May 25, 2017, Created: Jul 16, 2016]
XML namespacea is a way to avoid element name conflicts.
They promote reusability and modularity.
XML can reuse elements/attributes from other XML documents instead of recreating them every time. An XML instance may contain element or attribute names from more than one XML document. It will be impossible to keep elements from different documents unique, specially when using someone else's document. Namespace is a way to resolve name conflicts among different element sources (e.g. XSD sources).
Namespace is W3C standard.
Namespaces in XML 1.0 is the W3C recommendation.
Syntax
A namespace consists of a prefix 'xmlns' and namespace reference name (identifier)
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<o:order xmlns:o="http://www.example.com/order">
<o:id>2343</o:id>
<o:currency>JPY</o:currency>
<o:quantity>100</o:quantity>
<o:date>2016-05-07</o:date>
<b:brokerInfo xmlns:b="http://www.example.com/brokerInfo">
<b:id>13456</b:id>
</b:brokerInfo>
</o:order>
How XML namespace URI is used?
The URI is not usually used by the parser to connect to the remote resource, the XML specification doesn't require that. URI is a way to give the namespace a unique name. However, a namespace can be used as a pointer to a web page containing namespace information but that's not necessary, namespaces just have to be unique.
For a particular case a namespace aware parser (a specialized parser for the that case) should be able to resolve elements/attributes by corresponding namespace URIs and react accordingly.
Default Namespace
If we declare an element's namespace without the identifier e.g. xmlns="http://www.example.com/order", rather than xmlns:o="http://www.example.com/order", it specifies the default namespace within the element.
In that case child elements without namespace identifier are considered to belong to the default namespace.
For example modify the above example and remove identifier with brokerInfo's namespace
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<o:order xmlns:o="http://www.example.com/order">
<o:id>2343</o:id>
<o:currency>JPY</o:currency>
<o:quantity>100</o:quantity>
<o:date>2016-05-07</o:date>
<brokerInfo xmlns="http://www.example.com/brokerInfo">
<id>13456</id>
</brokerInfo>
</o:order>
Or we can also remove the identifier with the order's namespace like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<order xmlns="http://www.example.com/order">
<id>2343</id>
<currency>JPY</currency>
<quantity>100</quantity>
<date>2016-05-07</date>
<b:brokerInfo xmlns:b="http://www.example.com/brokerInfo">
<b:id>13456</b:id>
</b:brokerInfo>
</order>
Note that scope of a child element's namespace is overridden if the child element has it's own namespace. That means in above example if we remove identifiers for both order and brokerInfo, the document will still be well formed but brokerInfo will have it's own default namespace.
How namespaces are applied to attributes?
For an XML to be well formed there cannot be a single element having duplicate attribute names. There might be very very rare scenarios where we would need multiple same named attributes within an element. That might only be possible when those attributes are coming from different namespaces. In those cases we need namespace reference/prefix with the attributes as well.
In other cases we might have to use an attribute name from other namespace even though there's no multiple attribute names conflict.
Example
We are going to modify above example to show how to use attribute prefix. brokerInfo elements need an attribute of history-id attribute from order schema. history-id presumably corresponds to the history of the broker related to the current order.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<o:order xmlns:o="http://www.example.com/order">
<o:id>2343</o:id>
<o:currency>JPY</o:currency>
<o:quantity>100</o:quantity>
<o:date>2016-05-07</o:date>
<b:brokerInfo o:history-id="32321"
xmlns:b="http://www.example.com/brokerInfo">
<b:id>13456</b:id>
</b:brokerInfo>
</o:order>
If no namespace prefix is provided for the attribute name, the attribute will not belong to any namespace unless there's a default namespace.

No role for motion blur in either motion detection or motion-based image segmentation
Felix A. Wichmann, G. Bruce Henning
1998 Optical Society of America. Journal A: Optics, Image Science, and Vision
The human contrast sensitivity function is bandpass in form for stimuli of low temporal frequency but low pass for flickering or moving stimuli. Because the loss in sensitivity to moving stimuli is large, images moving on the retina have little perceptible high-spatial-frequency content. The loss of high-spatial-frequency contentoften referred to as motion blur-provides a potential cue to motion. The amount of motion blur is a function of stimulus velocity but is significant at velocities
more » ... at velocities encountered by the visual system in everyday situations. Our experiments determined the influence of high-spatial-frequency losses induced by motion of this order on motion detection and on motion-based image segmentation. Motion detection and motion-based segmentation tasks were performed with either spectrally low-pass or spectrally broadband stimuli. Performance on these tasks was compared with a condition having no motion but in which form differences mimicked the perceptual loss of high spatial frequencies produced by motion. This allowed the relative salience of motion and motioninduced blur to be determined. Neither image segmentation nor motion detection was sensitive to the highspatial-frequency content of the stimuli. Thus the change in perceptual form produced in moving stimuli is not normally used as a cue either for motion detection or for motion-based image segmentation in ordinary situations.
