keith griffin begins with a macroeconomic overview. the statistics can only hint at the trauma inflicted on mongolia by the economic " shock therapy " that started in 1990 and was exacerbated by the dzuds ( winter storms ) that struck in 1999 / 2000 and 2000 / 2001. gdp dropped by over 20 % in the first four years before returning almost to where it had been by 2000 ; per - capita income fared much worse. the decade also saw increases in insecurity and inequality and a decrease in human capital. mark d. brenner considers different measures of poverty. officially around 30 % of the population were poor in 2000, but the figure rises to 50 % using more standard metrics and as high as 70 % with a basic capabilities analysis. he also looks at inequality, structural changes, and adaptive responses by the poor. he argues for more poverty assistance targeted at lower levels of government, at aimag, soum, and even bag levels. a second chapter by keith griffin describes how shock therapy induced urban - to - rural migration and increased the relative importance of the livestock sector, though at the same time decreasing its productivity in a kind of " pastoral involution ". the removal of the negdel cooperatives that had managed pastures, combined with a mandated " free - for - all " commons, has created a range of problems ; griffin suggests leasing fees and pasture rights as a solution. takayoshi kusago surveys employment and productivity in different sectors, covering demographic and geographic variation and the informal sector. he recommends encouragement of small and medium sized industries in agriculture and manufacturing, improving credit for small businesses, public works schemes, decentralised incubation centres for micro - enterprises, and the rehabilitation of schools — backed by a social safety net and some kind of micro - insurance against accidents or illness. on environmental issues, amy ickowitz looks at the distribution of overgrazing and expands on griffin ' s analysis of problems with mandated " open access " to pasture. she suggests group land tenure rather than individual titles and fees for access to pasture, water and winter shelters, with the proceeds used to maintain and extend basic infrastructure. she also touches on deforestation, mining and urban pollution. two chapters by terry mckinley address governance issues. the first describes the outcomes and lessons of the six year national poverty alleviation programme started in 1994, which had some successes in building infrastructure in rural areas, but also had problems with positioning within the government. the second looks at the national development strategy and problems of coordination


n. the set of things a person has to do in the future. one speaks of the next project to be attacked as having risen to the top of the stack. " i ' m afraid i ' ve got real work to do, so this ' ll have to be pushed way down on my stack. " " i haven ' t done it yet because every time i pop my stack something new gets pushed. " if you are interrupted several times in the middle of a conversation, " my stack overflowed " means " i forget what we were talking about. " the implication is that more items were pushed onto the stack than could be remembered, so the least recent items were lost. the usual physical example of a stack is to be found in a cafeteria : a pile of plates or trays sitting on a spring in a well, so that when you put one on the top they all sink down, and when you take one off the top the rest spring up a bit. see also push at mit, pdl used to be a more common synonym for stack in all these contexts, and this may still be true. everywhere else stack seems to be the preferred term. knuth ( " the art of computer programming ", second edition, vol. 1, p. 236 ) says : many people who realized the importance of stacks and queues independently have given other names to these structures : stacks have been called push - down lists, reversion storages, cellars, nesting stores, piles, last - in - first - out ( " lifo " ) lists, and even yo - yo lists!


( noun ) middle english < old french < latin sententia ‘ opinion, decision ’, equivalent to sent - ( base of sentire ‘ to feel ’ ) + - entia - ence ; ( v. ) middle english : ‘ to pass judgment, decide judicially ’ < old french sentencier, derivative of sentence a sentence is the largest grammatical unit in language. it communicates a complete thought — an assertion, question, command, or exclamation. in general, assertions and questions — the overwhelming majority of sentences — require a subject and a verb, put together in a way that can stand alone, resulting in what is called an independent clause ( see main clause ) : he kicked the ball is a sentence. after he kicked the ball is not a sentence ; instead it is a dependent clause ( see subordinate clause ). even though it has a subject and a verb, it needs to be connected to something in order to complete the assertion : after he kicked the ball, he fell down ; or he fell down after he kicked the ball. in the case of commands, the subject need not be written because “ you ” is understood : go home! means you go home! and exclamations clearly express excitement, alarm, anger, or the like with no need for either a subject or a verb : wow! gadzooks! ouch! in everyday speech we routinely use phrases or clauses that would not make a complete sentence — so - called sentence fragments — because the conversation or the circumstances make the meaning clear. for example, we might answer a question like “ where did you go? ” with “ to the store, ” or “ why can ’ t i stay out till midnight? ” with “ because i say so, ” or “ what are you doing? ” with “ trying to fix this toaster, ” instead of “ i went to the store, ” “ you can ' t stay out that late because i say so, ” or “ i am trying to fix this toaster. ” in written dialogue sentence fragments are perfectly acceptable. they would generally be regarded as sentences simply because they begin with a capital letter and end with a suitable punctuation mark. but they are not sentences in a strict grammatical sense. and as a rule, sentence fragments are frowned upon in formal or expository writing. they can be useful — indeed, powerful — but in such writing they are effective only if used sparingly, in order to achieve a deliberate special effect : we will not give


. european journal of human genetics, ( 8 september 2010 ) | doi : 10. 1038 / ejhg. 2010. 153 in the heartland of eurasia : the multilocus genetic landscape of central asian populations located in the eurasian heartland, central asia has played a major role in both the early spread of modern humans out of africa and the more recent settlements of differentiated populations across eurasia. a detailed knowledge of the peopling in this vast region would therefore greatly improve our understanding of range expansions, colonizations and recurrent migrations, including the impact of the historical expansion of eastern nomadic groups that occurred in central asia. however, despite its presumable importance, little is known about the level and the distribution of genetic variation in this region. we genotyped 26 indo - iranian - and turkic - speaking populations, belonging to six different ethnic groups, at 27 autosomal microsatellite loci. the analysis of genetic variation reveals that central asian diversity is mainly shaped by linguistic affiliation, with turkic - speaking populations forming a cluster more closely related to east - asian populations and indo - iranian speakers forming a cluster closer to western eurasians. the scattered position of uzbeks across turkic - and indo - iranian - speaking populations may reflect their origins from the union of different tribes. we propose that the complex genetic landscape of central asian populations results from the movements of eastern, turkic - speaking groups during historical times, into a long - lasting group of settled populations, which may be represented nowadays by tajiks and turkmen. contrary to what is generally thought, our results suggest that the recurrent expansions of eastern nomadic groups did not result in the complete replacement of local populations, but rather into partial admixture.


| oracle® fusion middleware concepts guide 11g release 1 ( 11. 1. 1 ) part number e10103 - 07 this chapter describes oracle fusion middleware. it includes the following sections : middleware is the software that connects software components or enterprise applications. middleware is the software layer that lies between the operating system and the applications on each side of a distributed computer network ( figure 1 - 1 ). typically, it supports complex, distributed business software applications. middleware is the infrastructure which facilitates creation of business applications, and provides core services like concurrency, transactions, threading, messaging, and the sca framework for service - oriented architecture ( soa ) applications. it also provides security and enables high availability functionality to your enterprise. middleware includes web servers, application servers, content management systems, and similar tools that support application development and delivery. it is especially integral to information technology based on extensible markup language ( xml ), simple object access protocol ( soap ), web services, soa, web 2. 0 infrastructure, and lightweight directory access protocol ( ldap ) m etc. figure 1 - 1 middleware architecture due to continued growth and use of network - based applications by businesses, middleware technologies are increasingly important. companies and organizations are now building enterprisewide information systems by integrating previously independent applications with new software developments. the integration process may involve legacy applications which may be used only with, or through a nonmodifiable interface. in some cases, rewriting the code for a legacy application may be cost - prohibitive. increasingly, information systems are composed of a collection of various specialized hardware devices interconnected by a network. each device performs a function that involves receipt of real time data and remote interaction with other devices of the system. some examples include computer networks, telecommunication systems, uninterrupted power supply units, and decentralized manufacturing units. interaction with the information system may span a wide range of performance. you can interact with internet applications through a variety of devices, whose characteristics and performance figures span an increasingly wide range. between a high performance personal computer, a smart telephone, and a personal digital assistant, the variations in bandwidth, local processing power, screen capacity, and the ability to display color pictures, are extremely large. hide the distributed nature of the application. an application represents a collection of interconnected parts that are operational and running in distributed locations, out of view. hide the heterogeneity of the enterprise. this includes the hardware components used, computer operating systems, and


nature of the application. an application represents a collection of interconnected parts that are operational and running in distributed locations, out of view. hide the heterogeneity of the enterprise. this includes the hardware components used, computer operating systems, and communication protocols. provide uniform, standard, high - level interfaces to the application developers and integrators, so that applications can be easily composed, reused, ported, and made to interoperate. supply a set of common services to perform various general purpose functions to avoid duplicating efforts, and to facilitate collaboration between applications. middleware makes application development easier, by providing common programming abstractions, by masking application heterogeneity and the distribution of the underlying hardware and operating systems, and by hiding low - level programming details. the function of middleware is to mediate interaction between the parts of an application, or between applications. therefore, considerations for architectural structure play a central role in middleware design. the architectural design encompasses the organization, overall structure, and communication patterns, both for applications and for the middleware itself. besides architectural aspects, the main problems of middleware design pertain to various aspects of distributed systems. any middleware system relies on a communication layer that allows its different pieces to interoperate. in addition, communication is a function provided by middleware itself to applications, in which the communicating entities may take on different roles such as client server or peer - to - peer. middleware allows different interaction modes ( synchronous invocations, asynchronous message passing, coordination through shared objects ) embodied in different patterns. therefore, middleware system design faces several challenges : middleware systems rely on interception and indirection mechanisms, which induce performance penalties. adaptable middleware introduces additional indirections, which make the situation even worse. as applications become more and more interconnected and interdependent, the number of objects, users, and devices tends to increase. this poses the problem of the scalability of the communication and object management algorithms, and increases the complexity of administration. the availability, reliability, concurrency, security, and performance of applications may also be an issue. widespread computing is a vision of the near future, in which an increasing number of devices embedded in various physical objects participate in a global information network. mobility and dynamic reconfiguration will be dominant features, requiring permanent adaptation of the applications. managing large applications that are heterogeneous, widely distributed, and in permanent evolution raises many questions, such as


participate in a global information network. mobility and dynamic reconfiguration will be dominant features, requiring permanent adaptation of the applications. managing large applications that are heterogeneous, widely distributed, and in permanent evolution raises many questions, such as consistent observation, security, trade - offs between autonomy and interdependence for the different subsystems, and definition and implementation of resource management policies. service - oriented architecture ( soa ) is an architectural style whose goal is to achieve loose coupling among diverse interacting software applications, enabling organizations to take advantage of existing investments in applications and systems. soa facilitates the development of modular business services that can be easily integrated and reused, thus creating a flexible and adaptable infrastructure. using a soa approach, an organization can focus more resources and budget on innovation and on delivering new business services. systems that can successfully use soa can minimize the disruption of planned or unplanned outages in an enterprise. some of the advantages of using soa are : reduction in development time and cost : soa services are easily reused and can be rapidly assembled into new, composite applications. lower maintenance cost : reusable services reduce the number and internal complexity of enterprise services. high - quality services : increased service reuse creates high - quality services through multiple testing cycles from different service consumers. lower integration costs : standardized services know how to work together, enabling disparate applications to quickly and easily connect. reduce risk : fewer, reusable services provide greater control over corporate and it governance policies, and reduce the overall compliance risk to an enterprise. how does soa achieve loose coupling among interacting software agents? it does so by employing two architectural constraints : a small set of simple and widespread interfaces to all participating software agents. only generic semantics are encoded at the interfaces. the interfaces are universally available for all providers and consumers. descriptive messages constrained by an extensible schema delivered through the interfaces. no, or only minimal, system activity is prescribed by messages. a schema limits the vocabulary and structure of messages. an extensible schema allows new versions of services to be introduced without breaking existing services. oracle fusion middleware offers solutions to and support for complex, distributed business software applications. it includes web servers, application servers, content management systems, and similar tools that support application development and delivery. oracle fusion middleware is a collection of standards - based software products that includes a range of tools and services : from a java enterprise edition 5 ( java ee ) compliant environment, and developer tools, to integration


we form little groups of kids of approximately the same age. they gather up in different homes each day ( the days and hours are agreed before they start ). the objective is to play and learn at the same time with the help of one or two teachers. - educational proposal a group of kids gather up with a teacher and get to do activities like they would do in a kindergarten, but at home by learning through the act of playing. the idea is for them to get used to what they will be doing at the actual kindergarten, for them to have their first experiences with the materials and activities. we give a lot of importance on the forming of a social environment different from their family where they start to learn about sharing and other important activities. - ludic proposal a group of kids who already attend kindergarten are reunited with the objective of playing and socializing with other kids. the intention is to perform activities that they are already doing in the kindergarten in order to strengthen skills. learning is always the objective but without setting aside the act of playing. we form little groups of kids of an average age and reunite them in different homes of each of them, during vacations ( summer and winter ) with the objective of playing. there is always a teacher or two around. we count with special activities for indoors or outdoors, including games with water and without the necessity of a pool. we gather up kids of an average age and reunite them in different homes of each of them that rotate each day with the help of one or two teachers, weekly with the objective of playing or learning about a specific activity. - mobile circus and music the proposal is a fun world with colors, music, laughter and games ; a space for playing clown, acrobats or forming bands of music. they can dance, jump, sing, shout, and do acrobatics, juggling, play instruments and much other stuff. - mobile little chefs this is a fun way to learn about the kitchen, it includes : apron, ingredients, utensils, and didactic material for each participant. the kids take with them everything they prepared on material provided by us. - theater and music comedy workshop theater classes with a little bit of singing lessons for them to have fun acting among friends. - art workshop with an art teacher in charge they can express their artistic skills by drawing and painting. - mobile language workshop we organize little groups of kids of an average age and offer them the opportunity of stimulating their language skills in english and italian throughout the different games. - playing workshop – mother


books and documents as woodblock printing or handwriting on rice paper determines that their life cycle is very short, especially when the preservation condition is far from ideal. due to neglect, poverty and incapability in archival preservation of the native yi people, and ignorance and annihilation by zealous revolutionists, the size of the yi archives shrank dramatically in the middle and late 20th century. a recent preliminary investigation shows that only about 4, 000 volumes survive in the world. of the surviving yi archives, the largest public collection and most of private collections are preserved in yunnan, especially in the chuxiong autonomous prefecture of yi people. besides 1, 400 volumes in public collections formed since the 1980s, another 900 volumes are estimated to be held by private parties, especially by descendants of bimo families. however, in regards to both preservation and readiness for academic purpose, the yi archives in yunnan need the most urgent attention. there hasn ' t been any positive treatment applied to prevent the aging and mildew process, nor has any image conversion work been done, nor has any material been published before. our pilot investigation shows that only around 40 volumes in the public collection are mounted, and most books are even unaffordable to be stored in desirable spaces. written on perishable rice paper in fading mineral pigment, yi documents will be illegible in several years ' time if no preservative action is taken immediately. neglect resulting from poverty will lead to fatal disaster to the archives. in the proposed project, the two major tasks are : ( 1 ) a thorough registration of yi archival collections before they disappear silently, and ( 2 ) the digitisation and indexing of all available public and private archives. in the former, since the private collections are not as stable as the public, the project will pay extra attentions to the private collections, in order to keep an updated and complete record of the available yi archives. the institute of studies on yi culture, the owner of the largest yi archives in the world, has eagerly expressed the willingness to join the project. the bureau of cultural affairs is also providing access to small public collections of yi archives in wuding, shuangbai and other counties. relocation is not included in this stage, but will be pursued later by searching matching funds from the local government. this project has fully achieved its stated objectives : a thorough investigation of endangered yi archives in chuxiong, dali, kunming, yuxi and honghe was undertaken and a detailed field report and preliminary research completed. an interdisciplinary and multimedia


cables heat the soil to five degrees celsius above the ambient soil temperature ( a condition that is expected to occur around 2100 ) and a control condition in which cables are buried but not producing heat. in the first set of experiments, the scientists compared microbial respiration in the two groups and found lower rates of decomposition in the heated plots. this finding supported the idea that respiration decreases after a few years of warming, but didn ’ t explain whether the cause was substrate depletion in the warmer soils or adaptation by the microbes. in the next set of experiments, they added the simple sugar sucrose to both sets of soils to alleviate any food limitation for the microbes. they found that microbes from both conditions increased their respiration, but that the increase was greater in the unheated control soils than in the heated soils. “ that finding told us that substrate depletion played a role, ” bradford said, “ but it also told us that there were other factors involved. ” the researchers then measured microbial biomass and found that there were fewer microbes in the heated soils. to test whether thermal adaptation occurred, they measured respiration while keeping temperature constant. they found that respiration rates were indeed lower in the heated versus the control soils, even when adjusting for microbial biomass. wallenstein pointed out that the study is among the first to demonstrate that microbes, like many plants and animals, can adapt relatively quickly to changes in climate. “ this research presents a new challenge to scientists trying to predict effects of climate change on forest ecosystems because it shows that these soil microbial communities are very dynamic, ” wallenstein said. “ we cannot simply extrapolate from the short - term responses of soil microbes to climate change, since they may adapt over the longer - term. ” bradford notes that there is still much to be learned about how soil microbes respond to global warming. his team is currently working to understand whether the reduced microbial respiration in heated soils is caused by the adaptation of individual microbes, by shifts in species composition or a combination of the two factors. he warns against minimizing the role of soil microbes in global warming, even though his findings suggest that current models overstate their contribution. “ although our results suggest that the impact of soil microbes on global warming will be less than is currently predicted, ” bradford said, “ even a small change in atmospheric carbon is going to alter the way our world works and how our ecosystems function. ” the research was funded by the


in addition significant references to the mysteries in the chapters on " witch beliefs " and " witch practices ". ) the following two passages from the first chapter of the meaning of witchcraft give some indication of the kind of hostility that gardner and " his witches " were up against : " i am a member of the society for psychical research, and on the committee of the folklore society ; so i wanted to tell of my discovery. but i was met with a determined refusal. ' the age of persecution is not over, ' they told me ; ' give anyone half a chance and the fires will blaze up again. ' when i said to one of them, ' why do you keep all these things so secret still? there ’ s no persecution nowadays! ' i was told, ' oh, isn ’ t there? if people knew what i was, every time a child in the village was ill, or somebody ’ s chickens died, i should get the blame for it. witchcraft doesn ’ t pay for broken windows. ' " i can remember as a boy reading in the papers of a woman being burned alive in southern ireland as a witch ; but i could not believe that there could be any persecution nowadays in england. so, against their better judgment, they agreed to let me write a little about the cult in the form of fictions, an historical novel where a witch says a little of what they believe and of how they were persecuted. this was published in 1949 under the title of high magic ’ s aid. " in 1951 a very important event occurred. the government of the day passed the fraudulent mediums act, which repealed and replaced the last remaining witchcraft act, under which spiritualists used to be prosecuted in modern times. this act is, i believe, unique in legally recognising the existence of genuine mediumship and psychic powers. " i thought that at last common sense and religious freedom had prevailed ; but even so, the passage of this act was highly obnoxious to certain religious bodies which had been preaching against spiritualism for years and trying to outlaw it as ' the work of satan, ' together with any other societies to which they objected, including freemasonry and, of course, witchcraft. " about a year previously, this museum had been opened, and i had flattered myself that showing what witchcraft really is, an ancient religion, would arouse no hostility in any quarter. i was to find out in due course how wrong i was! " any attempt to show witchcraft in anything even remotely resembling a favourable light


flattered myself that showing what witchcraft really is, an ancient religion, would arouse no hostility in any quarter. i was to find out in due course how wrong i was! " any attempt to show witchcraft in anything even remotely resembling a favourable light, or to challenge the old representation of it as something uniformly evil and devilish, or even to present it as a legitimate object of study, can still arouse the most surprising reactions. the virtues of humanism, which charles saltman defined as ' sensitivity, intelligence and erudition, together with integrity, curiosity and tolerance, ' have still quite a long way to go in their struggle against the mentality which produced the malleus maleficarum. " [ the meaning of witchcraft, pp. 11 - 12 ] " the old horned god of the witches is not the satan of christianity, and no amount of theological argument will make him so. he is, in fact, the oldest deity known to man, and is depicted in the oldest representation of a divinity which has yet been found, namely the stone age painting in the innermost recess of the caverne des trois freres at ariege. he is the old phallic god of fertility who has come forth from the morning of the world, and who was already of immeasurable antiquity before egypt and babylon, let alone before the christian era. nor did he perish at the cry that great pan was dead. secretly through the centuries, hidden deeper and deeper as time went on, his worship and that of the naked moon goddess, his bride, the lady of mystery and magic and the forbidden joys, continued sometimes among the great ones of the land, sometimes in humble cottages, or on lonely heaths and in the depths of darkling woods, on summer nights when the moon rode high. it does so still. " from time to time the public have been treated to various highly - coloured and highly unconvincing ' revelations ' in the popular press and elsewhere upon the subject of ' black magic ', ' satanism ', and similar matters, and occasionally these have been linked with witchcraft. let me state right away that i personally maintain an attitude of thorough - going scepticism towards these things, and that even if they do exist i do not consider them to have any relation to the survival of the witch cult. alleged ' confessions ', especially where witchcraft is mentioned, bear ample internal evidence of their own meretriciousness, in that they are obviously modelled upon sensational thrillers and reveal no


them to have any relation to the survival of the witch cult. alleged ' confessions ', especially where witchcraft is mentioned, bear ample internal evidence of their own meretriciousness, in that they are obviously modelled upon sensational thrillers and reveal no knowledge whatever of genuine witch practices. " [ the meaning of witchcraft, pp. 21 - 22 ] " that there is no positive evil. " rachel beauvoir - dominique is an oxford educated anthropologist who is chair of the department of anthropology and sociology at l ' universite d ' etat d ' haiti. she is also a highly respected priestess ( mambo ) in the haitian vodou religion. in september of 2009 ( fully 55 years after gerald gardner wrote witchcraft today ), beauvoir - dominique was interviewed in conjunction with an exhibit on vodou at the museum of world culture in gothenburg, sweden ( too see the interview, go here ). the first question asked of professor beauvoir - dominique was " what is vodou? " a perfectly reasonable question, to which the mambo gives a very informative answer. however, it does not take long for the other shoe to drop. the second question was " are there any evil forces in vodou? " to which professor beauvoir - dominique again gives a very educational answer, part of which is : " vodou... is part of haitian culture, and in this culture we don ' t see that there is evil. we think that the word evil is constructed, it comes from other places, and is really not ours. the " good " and the " bad " are very christian notions, very manichean. we think more in terms of grays, of black becoming white, of white becoming black. of yin and yang. as in the figure of yin and yang - - there is a perpetual movement of things. and for us there is no evil. things become evil when they are seen through evil eyes. " this chapter on " the black mass " is, in fact, the section of the meaning of witchcraft in which gardner introduces sallustius ' peri theon kai kosmou and pronounces it to be " a general statement " of the beliefs of wiccans ( as discussed in part one of this series ). the first portion of sallustius ' pagan manifesto that gardner quotes is the entirety of section xii : " the origin of evil things ; and that there is no positive evil. " " the gods being good and making all things, how do evils exist in


about the good, because it is not primary essence. and we see many things done by the gods to prevent it from making mistakes and to heal it when it has made them. arts and sciences, curses and prayers, sacrifices and initiations, laws and constitutions, judgments and punishments, all came into existence for the sake of preventing souls from sinning ; and when they are gone forth from the body, gods and spirits of purification cleanse them of their sins. " [ on the gods and the cosmsos, sallustius, section xii : " the origin of evil things ; and that there is no positive evil. " ] " the inner meaning of religious rituals. " the section of sallustius that gardner turned to first requires little or no explanation. it is, in fact, one of the clearest explications of a pagan answer to the so - called " problem of evil ". less clear, perhaps, are gardner ' s reasons for his next selection from sallustius, which deals with, as gardner styles it, " the inner meaning of religious rituals. " " it is impious to suppose that the divine is affected for good or ill by human things. the gods are always good and always do good and never harm, being always in the same state and like themselves. the truth simply is that, when we are good, we are joined to the gods by our likeness ; when bad, we are separated from them by our unlikeness. and when we live according to virture we cling to the gods, and when we become evil we make the gods our enemies - - not because they are angered against us, but because our sins prevent the light of the gods from shining upon us, and put us in communion with spirits of punishment. and if by prayers and sacrifices we find forgiveness of sins, we do not appease or change the gods, but by what we do and by our turning toward the divine we heal our own badness and so enjoy again the goodness of the gods. to say that the gods turn away from evil is like saying that the sun hides himself from the blind. " this solves the question about sacrifices and other rites performed to the gods. the divine itself is without needs, and the worship is paid for our own benefit. the providence of the gods reaches everywhere and needs only some congruity for its reception. all congruity comes about by representation and likeness ; for which reason the temples are made in representation of heaven, the altar of earth, the images


benefit. the providence of the gods reaches everywhere and needs only some congruity for its reception. all congruity comes about by representation and likeness ; for which reason the temples are made in representation of heaven, the altar of earth, the images of life ( that is why they are made like living things ), the prayers of the element of though, the mystic letters of the unspeakable celestial forces, the herbs and stones of matter, and the sacrificial animals of the irrational life in us. " from all these things the gods gain nothing ; what gain could there be to god? it is we who gain some communion with them. " [ on the gods and the cosmsos, sallustius, section xiv ( partial ) : " in what sense, though the gods never change, they are said to be made angry and appeased. " and also section xv : " why we give worship to the gods when they need nothing. " ] the issue here is not merely the accusation that pagans do evil things, but rather that we worship evil things. this accusation goes back to the earliest days of christianity. among its clearest expressions is that found in the writings of augustine, and his city of god, against the pagans in particular. somewhat ironically, augustine wrote that work largely as a defense of christianity against the accusation, from pagans, that the christian prohibitions against the worship of the old gods had led to the downfall of rome ( some of the historical background to this is discussed in reflections on vergil and augustine. ) in book viii of his against the pagans, augustine asserts that the traditional gods worshipped at pagan festivals and in the urban pagan temples are " rather malign demons than gods. " furthermore, augustine employs a favorite christian trope that is still popular today with ronald hutton and his fanbase, in which it is claimed that the religion of ancient philosophers is somehow different from and unrelated to that of the pagan masses generally. ( by this logic the " philosophy " of augustine is equally unrelated the lowbrow christianity of the ignorant, unwashed masses who make up the vast bulk of the army of christ, thus making augustine no christian at all. but any such appeal to consistency is lost on the likes of hutton. ) and so augustine now focuses not on " the fabulous, that is, the theatrical " theology of the plebs, nor on the more staid " civil, that is, the urban " theology of the aristocratic priests and priestesses serving the deities of


daemon eros as clever, philosophical and a sophist, had also imputed magical powers to eros : " but why do we think that eros is a magician? because the whole power of magic consists in eros. the work of magic is the attraction of one thing by another because of a certain affinity of nature. but the parts of this world, like the parts of a single animal, all deriving from a single author, are joined to each other by the communion of a single nature. therefore just as the brain, lungs, heart, liver and the rest of the parts draw something from each other, and help each other, and sympathize with any one of them when it suffers, so the parts of this great animal [ the cosmos as a single living being ], that is, the bodies of the world, similarly joined together, borrow and lend natures to and from each other. from this common relationship is born a common love ; from love, a common attraction. and this is true magic.... [ t ] he works of magic are works of nature, but art is its handmaiden.... the ancients attributed this art to daemons, because the daemons understand what is the inter - relation of natural things, what is appropriate to each, and how the harmony of things, if lacking anywhere, can be restored.... they [ the ancients, such as socrates, zoroaster, apollonius of tyana, and porphyry ] seem to have become magicians through friendship of the daemons, just as the daemons are magicians through understanding the friendship of things themselves. and all nature, because of mutual love, is called a magician. " [ de amore, marsilio ficino. this is specificaly from speech vi, using the translation by sears jane, p. 127 of the 1985 spring publications edition ] the take home message from augustine ' s polemics against plato, apuleius, and hermes is that the whole daemonic realm is, in reality, demonic in the sense of being purely evil. in other words, what plato portrayed as the liminal realm of the cosmos, situated above the human realm, whose purpose is to connect us with the gods, and which is responsible for the efficacy of both religious practices and magic arts ; that this is in fact an infernal realm populated with demons that are " arrogant " and " deceiving " who prey on those who seek " divine refuge " by " fei


is responsible for the efficacy of both religious practices and magic arts ; that this is in fact an infernal realm populated with demons that are " arrogant " and " deceiving " who prey on those who seek " divine refuge " by " feigning divinity ". these demons are everywhere " lying in wait for the deception of man! " the christian view, then, is that ( 1 ) pagan religiosity is generally evil, ( 2 ) more specifically, the spiritual powers upon which pagans call are evil beings, and ( 3 ) the whole spiritual realm ( outside of the holy ghost and " angels " ) is filled with and characterized by malignant evil. it is in order to counter these dark ( and as perversely self - serving as they are self - revealing ) christian fantasies, which they sometimes try to hide behind the philosophical niceties of the so - called " problem of evil ", that gardner invokes the words of sallustius on the subject of the " the inner meaning of religious ritual. " in essence, gardner wishes to categorically disprove any idea that the magical / religious practices of wiccans amount to calling upon evil forces. however, gardner chooses not to explicitly defend the liminal / daemonic aspects of platonic theology but to explicate pagan rituals in such terms as ( 1 ) being " joined to the gods ", ( 2 ) having " the light of the gods... shining upon us ", and ( 3 ) " by turning toward the gods we heal our own badness and so enjoy again the goodness of the gods. " all this and more comes about because " the providence of the gods reaches everywhere and needs only some congruity for its reception. " the fact is that sallustius provides no opportunity to more directly defend the intermediary spiritual realm, for, true to the title of the work, he sticks to " the gods " and " the cosmos ". and it is unlikely, anyway, that gardner would have thought there could be anything to be gained by trying to convince the general public that wicca relies on daemons, but not on demons. and then there was also gardner ' s choice to ( dishonestly, as is now generally accepted ) deny the very real connections between his wicca and ceremonial magic ( where explicit references to daemons are easy to find ). but ( even though he avoids direct references to daemons ) it is quite clear that gerald gardner in 1959, just like practitioners of vodou


a stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications that access a relational database system. a stored procedure ( sometimes called a proc, sproc, stopro, storedproc, sp or sp ) is actually stored in the database data dictionary. typical use for stored procedures include data validation ( integrated into the database ) or access control mechanisms. furthermore, stored procedures can consolidate and centralize logic that was originally implemented in applications. extensive or complex processing that requires execution of several sql statements is moved into stored procedures, and all applications call the procedures. one can use nested stored procedures by executing one stored procedure from within another. stored procedures are similar to user - defined functions ( udfs ). the major difference is that udfs can be used like any other expression within sql statements, whereas stored procedures must be invoked using the stored procedures may return result sets, i. e. the results of a select statement. such result sets can be processed using cursors, by other stored procedures, by associating a result set locator, or by applications. stored procedures may also contain declared variables for processing data and cursors that allow it to loop through multiple rows in a table. stored procedure flow control statements typically include case statements, and more. stored procedures can receive variables, return results or modify variables and return them, depending on how and where the variable is declared. the exact and correct implementation of stored procedures varies from one database system to another. most major database vendors support them in some form. depending on the database system, stored procedures can be implemented in a variety of programming languages, for example sql, java, c, or c + +. stored procedures written in non - sql programming languages may or may not execute sql statements themselves. the increasing adoption of stored procedures led to the introduction of procedural elements to the sql language in the sql : 1999 and sql : 2003 standards in the part sql / psm. that made sql an imperative programming language. most database systems offer proprietary and vendor - specific extensions, exceeding sql / psm. a standard specification for java stored procedures exists as well as sql / jrt. | database system | | implementation language | | db2 | | sql pl ( close to the sql / psm standard ) or java | | firebird | | psql ( fyracle also supports portions of oracle ' s pl / sql ) | | informix | | spl or java | | microsoft sql server | | transact - sql and various. net framework languages | |


of business logic : stored procedures allow programmers to embed business logic as an api in the database, which can simplify data management and reduce the need to encode the logic elsewhere in client programs. this can result in a lesser likelihood of data corruption by faulty client programs. the database system can ensure data integrity and consistency with the help of stored procedures. delegation of access - rights : in many systems, stored procedures can be granted access rights to the database that users who execute those procedures do not directly have. some protection from sql injection attacks : stored procedures can be used to protect against injection attacks. stored procedure parameters will be treated as data even if an attacker inserts sql commands. also, some dbmss will check the parameter ' s type. a stored procedure that in turn generates dynamic sql using the input is however still vulnerable to sql injections unless proper precautions are taken. comparison with functions - a function is a subprogram written to perform certain computations - a scalar function returns only a single value ( or null ), whereas a table function returns a ( relational ) table comprising zero or more rows, each row with one or more columns. - functions must return a value ( using the returnkeyword ), but for stored procedures this is not compulsory. - stored procedures can use returnkeyword but without any value being passed. - functions could be used in selectstatements, provided they don ’ t do any data manipulation. however, procedures cannot be included in - a stored procedure can return multiple values using the outparameter or return no value at all. - a stored procedure can save the query compilation time. comparison with prepared statements prepared statements take an ordinary statement or query and parameterize it so that different literal values can be used at a later time. like stored procedures, they are stored on the server for efficiency and provide some protection from sql injection attacks. although simpler and more declarative, prepared statements are not ordinarily written to use procedural logic and cannot operate on variables. because of their simple interface and client - side implementations, prepared statements are more widely reusable between dbmss. - stored procedure languages are quite often vendor - specific. switching to another vendor ' s database most likely requires rewriting any existing stored procedures. - stored procedure languages from different vendors have different levels of sophistication. - for example, oracle ' s pl / sql has more language features and built - in features ( via packages such as dbms _ and utl _ and others ) than microsoft ' s t


rather than mounting each filesystem at a different place in the directory hierarchy, a union mount overlays the filesystems, creating a unified hierarchy. thus, any given directory ( or " folder " ) in the resulting filesystem may contain files and subdirectories from any or all of the underlying filesystems. generally one of the filesystems will be mounted read - write, while other filesystems are mounted read - only. union mounts are implemented by union filesystems such as unionfs and aufs, frequently used by live cds. they originated with plan 9 and its concept of union directories. - pendry, jan - simon ; marshall kirk mckusick ( december 1995 ).

weather is what is happening in the atmosphere now, at any place on earth ’ s surface. it includes the temperature and whether it is wet and windy, or dry and calm. the sun provides the energy that drives earth ’ s weather. the sun heats the air in various parts of earth ’ s atmosphere by different amounts. masses of warm and cold air then move from place to place, creating winds. winds bring sunny, wet, or stormy conditions. people find out the type of weather to expect in a forecast. a weather forecast is a prediction of weather conditions over a particular area, either for a few days ( called a short - range forecast ), or for several weeks ( called a long - range forecast ). the people who study the weather and make weather forecasts are called meteorologists. weather forecasts help people to plan — what to wear, when to travel, or which products to stock in supermarkets. forecasts are especially important for farmers, builders, sailors, and anyone else who works outdoors. sometimes an accurate forecast may mean the difference between life and death. meteorologists receive information about air temperature, wind speeds, clouds, and rainfall from over 50, 000 weather stations worldwide — on land and on ships and buoys at sea. the data is fed into huge computers that produce charts and forecasts. these are used, with satellite images, to predict the weather.


euan macleod essay published wednesday, 2 january 2002the history of australian painting places a significance on the artist ' s depiction of the figures place in the landscape. since the colonial period artists have battlembol for historical and contemporary contexts. image : ladder, 180 x 137cm ; oil on canvas ; 1998. to the colonial period it highlighted the pastoral and the romantic, which evolved with the heidelberg school where the figure and the landscape captured the unique, impressionist painting techniques and captured dual populist sentiments of the heroic figure in the bush ( tom roberts ) as well as the threat one faced of living or settling in the bush ( frederick mccubbin ). the perception of identity is amplified in the depiction of the figure in the landscape ; and it offers a real and idealised account of australia. this treatment of such an archetypal representation of australia has been explored by a number of artists in an attempt to temper a particular perspective that captures the australian spirit. the artists associated with the angry penguins movement ( including nolan, tucker, perceval and boyd ) attempted to forge a modern identity that was uniquely australian. once more the relationship between the landscape and figure and the images it produced became an integral component of this art movement. similarly contemporary australian artists are examining australian identity in physical, cultural, spiritual, conceptual and euan macleod confirms the historic temperament towards identity and a reflection of living in australia. macleod examines the metaphor of the figure in the landscape. macleod discusses how his work can be read on many levels and that he hesitates to give a specific explanation to any work. he identifies the symbolic properties of his work referring to the landscape as a psychological state of existence ; the figure articulates this personal investigation citing the figure as both personal and symbolic. his work offers a development of the depiction of the figure in the landscape ; and his reference to jungian psychology offers a separate critical alternative to the orthodoxy within this genre. macleod explains that through the plasticity of the paint he can come to a point to where there is a particular unity of feeling and aesthetic " when it translates to, well either flesh or water or a surface, so that when you ' re looking at it you ' re not looking at beautiful paint, you ' re looking at matter - physicality. " the handling of the paint is as important to the artist as the subject matter, and it is the competency and intuitive handling of the paint that give his work its very strength. getting convincing tonal variations in a composition, according to macleod is the most engaging quality


smart phone of the future : a chip in your head? cnn recently posted an amusing yet thought - provoking article envisioning the development of smart phones over the next 100 years. the story culminates with the collapse of civilization in less than a century ( from climate change ), and mobile communications being reduced to throwing message rocks at each other. that scenario might ’ ve made stanley kubrick proud, but the idea that most interests me is the authors ’ prediction that, in 75 years, a microchip could be inserted into our heads that will allow us to connect directly with others through our brains, as well as to the internet. while the writers are concerned about potential abuses from commercial advertisers, i can think of a few ways this technology would affect the public sector workplace. first, security identification badges would become obsolete. authentication for location access could be done with the brain microchip, and everyone would instantly know if another person was supposed to be there instead because his or her own chip would tell them so. of course, for this to take place, security would have to be top - notch to stop intruders from using chips made to mask identity. wow, that sounds like the plot to a great science fiction espionage thriller. you are welcome, 007. the behavior modification scenario the writers propose would be unlikely to occur, i think, because the chip probably would not be connected to that area of the brain. but if it were, network administrators could finally make sure their painstakingly crafted security protocols are actually followed by everyone! although the writers project that this development is 75 years away, i think it might come sooner. we already have the technology to make a chip small enough to perform all of the necessary functions. the areas we need to improve in are biological rejection suppression and our understanding of how the human brain works. i ’ m guessing that latter will probably be the problem that delays us having chips implanted in our heads. it ’ s all just guesswork at this point, of course, but if the writers are correct about a brain microchip — and wrong about the end of civilization — there would be practical uses for the technology. if nothing else, we could be assured that motorists at last would make only hands - free calls. posted by greg crowe on oct 12, 2012 at 1 : 25 pm


rather it denotes the confusion of their thoughts, being like branches of trees twisted and implicated ; thus upbraiding them with their inconstancy and fickleness ; what their two opinions were, may be learnt from the next clause : if the lord be god, follow him : but if baal, then follow him ; for there is but one god, one infinite, immense, and incomprehensible being ; one that is omnipotent, all sufficient, good, and perfect ; there cannot be more, and therefore but one to be followed, served, and worshipped : and the people answered him not a word : through conviction and confusion, his reasoning being unanswerable ; or not knowing which to choose at present ; or fearing they should be drawn into a snare, should they name any ; either incur the displeasure of the king, who was for baal, or of the prophet, who was for the lord, at whose word rain was withheld, and might be given, which they were desirous of. ( r ) " transilietis super duos ramoe, malvenda ; vos transilientes super ambos ramos ", piscator. 22then said elijah unto the people, i, even i only, remain a prophet of the lord ; but baal ' s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. then said elijah unto the people, i, even i only remain a prophet of the lord,.... at least as he thought, all the rest being slain, as he supposed ; however there were none present but himself : but baal ' s prophets are four hundred and fifty men ; which were very great odds he had to contend with. 23let them therefore give us two bullocks ; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under : and i will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under : let them therefore give us two bullocks,.... who, being so many, were better able to be at the expense of them, and having the king on their party too ; though perhaps no more is meant than that two bullocks should be brought thither, and presented before them : and let them choose one bullock for themselves ; which of the two they would, if they thought one was any ways preferable to the other, it was at their option to take it : and


hp openvms systems documentation openvms debugger manual 4. 2. 2 ascii string types when displaying an ascii string value, the debugger encloses it within quotation marks ( " ) or apostrophes ( ' ), depending on the language syntax. for example : to deposit a string value ( including a single character ) into a string variable, you must enclose the value in quotation marks ( " ) or apostrophes ( ' ). for example : if the string has more ascii characters ( 1 byte each ) than can fit into the location denoted by the address expression, the debugger truncates the extra characters from the right and issues the following message : if the string has fewer characters, the debugger pads the remaining characters to the right of the string by inserting ascii space you can examine an entire array aggregate, a single indexed element, or a slice ( a range of elements ). however, you can deposit into only one element at a time. the following examples show typical operations with arrays. the following command displays the values of all the elements of the array variable arrx, a one - dimensional array of integers : the following command displays the value of element 4 of array arrx ( depending on the language, parentheses or brackets are used to denote indexed elements ) : the following command displays the values of all the elements in a slice of arrx. this slice consists of the range of elements from element 2 to element 5 : you can deposit a value to only a single array element at a time ( you cannot deposit to an array slice or an entire array aggregate with a single deposit command ). for example, the following command deposits the value 53 into element 2 of arrx : the following command displays the values of all the elements of array real _ array, a two - dimensional array of real numbers ( three per dimension ) : the debugger issues a diagnostic message if you try to deposit to an index value that is out of bounds. for example : in the previous example, the deposit operation was executed because the diagnostic message is of i level. this means that the value of some array element adjacent to ( 1, 3 ), possibly ( 2, 1 ) might have been affected by the out - of - bounds deposit operation. to deposit the same value to several components of an array, you can use a looping command such as for or repeat. for example, assign the value red


2, 1 ) might have been affected by the out - of - bounds deposit operation. to deposit the same value to several components of an array, you can use a looping command such as for or repeat. for example, assign the value red to elements 1 to 4 of the array color _ array : you can examine an entire record aggregate, a single record component, or several components. however, you can deposit into only one component at a time. the following examples show typical operations with records. the following command displays the values of all the components of the record variable part : the following command displays the value of component in _ stock of record part ( general syntax ) : the following command displays the value of the same record component using cobol syntax ( the language must be set to cobol ) : the following command displays the values of two components of record part : the following command deposits a value into record component in _ stock : 4. 2. 5 pointer ( access ) types you can examine the entity designated ( pointed to ) by a pointer variable and deposit a value into that entity. you can also examine a pointer variable. for example, the following pascal code declares a pointer variable a that designates a value of type real : the following command displays the value of the entity designated by the pointer variable a : in the following example, the value 3. 9 is deposited into the entity designated by a : when you specify the name of a pointer variable with the examine command, the debugger displays the memory address of the object it designates. for example : the debugger recognizes address expressions that are associated with instructions. this enables you to examine and deposit instructions using the same basic techniques as with variables. when debugging at the instruction level, you might find it convenient to first enter the following command. it sets the default step mode to stepping by instruction : there are other step modes that enable you to execute the program to specific kinds of instructions. you can also set breakpoints to interrupt execution at these instructions. if you specify an address expression that is associated with an instruction in an examine command ( for example, a line number ), the debugger displays the first instruction at that location. you can then use the period (. ), return key, and circumflex ( ^ ) to display the current, next, and previous instruction ( logical entity ), as described in section 4. 1. 8. for example, on alpha processors : line numbers, routine names, and labels are symbolic address expressions


a laboratory and were returned and replaced in the original drill holes out of respect for the dead. the kola investigation found that belzec was " one large a patchwork of mass graves. " 3 they located and measured 33 mass graves which had a total volume of approximately 21, 300 cubic meters or approximately 752, 202 cubic feet. more information about these investigations is available at http : / / www. jewishgen. org / yizkor / belzec1 / bel150. html. the facts about mattogno ’ s claims claim 1 : the graves contain only a " handful " of unburned bodies. mattogno claims that of the 33 mass graves found by kola that only graves 3, 10 and 20 contain a shallow layer of unburned bodies at the very bottom. he concludes that the " only legitimate conclusion one can draw " is that there are " only rare corpses here and there " totaling " at most several hundred corpses. " 4 what mattogno does not tell the reader is : - grave 3 is 16 meters long by 15 meters wide by 5 meters deep ( about 52 feet by 50 feet by 16 feet. ) - grave 10 is 24 meters long by 18 meters wide by 5 meters deep ( about 78 feet by 59 feet by 16 feet. ) - grave 20 extends outside the current camp boundaries and so could not be completely measured. the part that could be measured is 26 meters long by 11 meters wide by 5 meters deep ( 85 feet by 36 feet by 16 feet ). it is absurd to believe that the germans would have dug such large, deep graves ( about the height of a two - story house ) with heavy excavating equipment and then laid only one or two layers of bodies on the very bottom of each before covering them up. - more dishonestly, mattogno fails to mention at all that graves 1, 4, 13, 25, 27, 28 and 32 also contain unburned remains. therefore, out of 10 graves that held whole human remains, mattogno only acknowledges 3 of them. however, even kola ’ s careful examination does not reveal exactly how many bodies might be in the mass graves because he took great care not to drill through layers of whole bodies if he could avoid it. for instance, in kola discontinued drilling in grave 4 when he hit a layer of whole human bodies. 5 therefore, in that grave we do not know how thick that layer was. recall that mapping the depth and volume of the graves was not ko


one of total loyalty and fidelity. the act of idolatry was an unforgivable breach of the covenant — much as adultery is generally perceived as a fundamental violation of the marital bond. moses, in persuading god to recant of his jealousy and anger, to give the faithless people another chance, is thus introducing a new concept : of a covenant that includes the possibility of even the most serious transgressions being forgiven ; of the knowledge that human beings are fallible, and that teshuvah and forgiveness are essential components of any economy of men living before a demanding god. the second, truly astonishing point is the role played by moses in all this. moshe rabbenu, “ the man of god, ” is not only the great teacher of israel, the channel through which they learn the divine torah, but also, as it were, one who teaches god himself. it is god who “ reveals his qualities of mercy ” at the cleft of the rock ; but without moses cajoling, arguing, persuading ( and note the numerous midrashim around this theme ), “ were it not for my servant moses who stood in the breach, ” all this would not have happened. it was moses who elicited this response and who, so to speak, pushed god himself to this new stage in his relation with israel — to give up his expectations of perfection from his covenanted people, and to understand that living within a covenant means, not rigid adherence to a set of laws, but a living relationship with real people, taking the bad with the good. ( again, the parallel to human relationships is obvious )


risk factors, such as electrical overloading. compounding the difficulty, tight deadlines and budgetary constraints prohibited numerous time - consuming and costly physical tests of system mock - ups. instead, work in designing and optimizing the performance of this first - ever system would have to be done early in the plane ’ s development — before any hardware was built and at the same time other aircraft system designs were underway. the solution : advanced predictive software messier - bugatti met these challenges with the imagine. lab ground loads software based on the amesim simulation platform, which the company had implemented on previous projects for predicting the behavior of complex multi - domain intelligent systems. engineers began by selecting and piecing together individual components and subsystems from among a library of pre - defined items : - hydraulic pressure drop, - hydraulic component design, - electromechanical, motors, and drives, - thermal resistance, - thermal hydraulics, and - thermal, hydraulics, and electrical basics. | local electrohydraulic generation system ( lehgs ) consists of a reservoir, left, with accumulator and other accessories, and an electric motor - driven pump, right. in addition to emergency braking on all 20 wheels of the a380, the power units also provide backup hydraulic power for the all - important nose wheel steering system. | unlike conventional system modeling languages that require computer programmers to write software, the overall system model is created graphically, and engineers are prompted to enter parameters where necessary. in this way, amesim software creates a multi - domain system model from the overall conceptual information of interconnected parts and subsystems. importantly, it does not require a full 3 - d geometry representation, so engineers can simulate and predict the behavior of intelligent systems long before detailed cad geometry becomes available. throughout this process, messier - bugatti system engineers took advantage of convenient access to imagine. lab ground loads software. the system ’ s flexible licensing arrangement enabled them to optimize the use of specific modules and libraries while lowering overall system simulation expenses. simulating complex behavior ground loads modeling and analysis capabilities allowed messier - bugatti to analyze behavior of hydraulic systems in terms of performance, stability, and robustness. engineers also used the model to study the thermal characteristics of hydraulic circuits and evaluate the need for heat exchangers. these results were then used to establish the sizing, output, and other component specifications for the entire hydraulic power unit, including its reservoir, pump, and accumulator. using ground loads, engineers


circuits and evaluate the need for heat exchangers. these results were then used to establish the sizing, output, and other component specifications for the entire hydraulic power unit, including its reservoir, pump, and accumulator. using ground loads, engineers could also explore alternate sets of parameters and scenarios. when developing a steering system, for example, various combinations of components and systems ( actuators, motors, valves, ecu, etc. ) could be compared from specification to validation, thus significantly improving the steering system quality. | signals from electronic control units ( ecu ) activate multiple small electricallydriven micro - pumps, each located close to the actuators they control. the micropumps provide 5000 psi of local hydraulic pressure over short runs of small - diameter, lightweight tubing for braking and steering — always available in an emergency. | with these predictive capabilities, messier - bugatti simulated the behavior of the electrohydraulic system for the a380, validated system power - generating performance, and engineers accurately sized components early in development. this significantly reduced dependency on numerous physical prototypes. “ messier - bugatti can use imagine. lab amesim to tune complex multiphysics systems without performing a large set of tests on bench, ” commented michael benmoussa, senior design engineer on the project. “ simulation enabled us to anticipate and reduce the inherent development risks of a new technology by incorporating an upstream validation regarding the technical choices, ” continued benmoussa. “ simulation results obtained in the early project stages using lms imagine. lab amesim were later confirmed on test benches with a very good accuracy. ” in this manner, ground loads can significantly reduce guesswork and free the engineering team to focus on innovation and r & d. “ messier - bugatti was able to predict systems and equipment performances — including critical new technologies — on the entire flight domain, ” commented benmoussa. “ the a380 enters into service with its nose wheel steering system control loop only tuned with lms imagine. lab amesim. tests were performed to confirm the good system performance. ” for more information on amesim and imagine. lab ground loads software from lms ltd., troy, mich., call ( 248 ) 952 - 5664, or visit www. lmsintl. com.


ground sensors and airborne transponders that are interoperable with the original beacon system, but which achieve surveillance accuracy, capacity, and reliability that is adequate to support automatic safety warning functions for controllers and pilots. in the 1980s the faa developed an airborne collision avoidance system based on air - to - air surveillance of the same air traffic control transponders used for surveillance from the ground. today the use of this collision avoidance system is required on all air carrier aircraft operating in the united states and europe. the last part of the air traffic control system to benefit from radar surveillance was the airport runways and taxi - ways. radar surveillance to assure safety of aircraft on the airport surface is difficult because of reflections from the ground and from airport structures and service vehicles. although several generations of airport surface detection radars have been deployed since the 1990s, and surface surveillance performance has improved, reflections continue to cause unreliable tracking. as with other radar environments, surveillance quality on the airport surface can be improved by the use of transponders. unfortunately, the resolution of the beacon system used for airspace surveillance is inadequate to distinguish between closely spaced aircraft at airports. however, high - resolution surface surveillance can be achieved with multiple receivers on the airport surface that estimate transponder locations by comparing arrival times of replies from conventional transponders. systems that combine this “ multilateration ” technique with primary radar surveillance can now achieve surveillance accuracies and reliabilities that are good enough to input to automatic safety warning devices on the airport surface. related recommended reading the story of the invention of the klystron. < span id = " fck _ dom _ range _ temp _ 1365634644485 _ 748 " / > [ [ category : navigation


architectural educators use the scientific term “ critical mass ” to justify the necessity for design students to be present in the studio in order to gain momentum, share ideas, and learn from each other, while enjoying their camaraderie. further, it is believed that the physical presence may yield an esprit de corps, albeit in a pedagogy which values individualism. any of these educational objectives, however, such as communication, idea sharing and momentum, are within reach in the virtual environment. indeed, telecommunication technology oriented design environment actually enhances educator - student and student - student participation in getting to know each others ’ values and cultures. such cooperation across time and space, leads future designers to identify and solve problems in a truly global setting the computer savvy profile of today ’ s students suggests that cross - cultural and across - distance design education is an achievable aim and even may weaken the argument for the merits of physical presence in the studio. even in practice, for example, the use of building information modeling ( bim ) approach will likely to change how professionals cooperate through networking media in creatively linking, sharing, and integrating their design expertise with their other professional team members. recent developments in telecommunication technology virtually have eliminated the necessity for sharing the same physical space by the members of a studio or cooperating professionals on a project. professionals and students alike can easily work, debate, and share ideas even if they are many time - zones apart. in this paper, we concentrate on the implications of this technology upon design education, particularly on the studio component through a major global studio urban design project case study. it focuses on the pros and cons of global studios based on experiences in architectural education which is coming to focus as a variant in the studio typology both in traditional and in nascent on - line programs. | keywords : | | global studio, distant learning, educational cooperation, virtual design studio, architectural education, architectural design | associate professor, architecture, the university of oklahoma, norman, oklahoma, usa associate professor, college of architecture, the university of oklahoma, norman, oklahoma, usa there are currently no reviews of this product. write a review


concord expressa christian science study resource we know principle only through science. the prin ‐ 6ciple of christ is divine love, resistless life and truth. then the science of the principle must be christlike, or christian science. more than regal is the majesty 9of the meekness of the christ - principle ; and its might is the ever - flowing tides of truth that sweep the universe, create and govern it ; and its radiant stores of knowl ‐ 12edge are the mysteries of exhaustless being. seek ye these till you make their treasures yours. when a young man vainly boasted, “ i am wise, for i 15have conversed with many wise men, ” epictetus made answer, “ and i with many rich men, but i am not rich. ” the richest blessings are obtained by labor. a vessel 18full must be emptied before it can be refilled. lawyers may know too much of human law to have a clear per ‐ ception of divine justice, and divines be too deeply read 21in scholastic theology to appreciate or to demonstrate christian charity. losing the comprehensive in the technical, the principle in its accessories, cause in effect, 24and faith in sight, we lose the science of christianity, — a predicament quite like that of the man who could not see london for its houses. 27 clouds parsimonious of rain, that swing in the sky with dumb thunderbolts, are seen and forgotten in the same hour ; while those with a mighty rush, which waken the 30stagnant waters and solicit every root and every leaf with the treasures of rain, ask no praising. remember, thou canst be brought into no condition, be it ever so severe, 150 150 : 1where love has not been before thee and where its tender lesson is not awaiting thee. therefore despair not nor 3murmur, for that which seeketh to save, to heal, and to deliver, will guide thee, if thou seekest this guidance. pliny gives the following description of the character of 6true greatness : “ doing what deserves to be written, and writing what deserves to be read ; and rendering the world happier and better for having lived in it. ” strive thou 9for the joy and crown of such a pilgrimage — the service of such a mission. a heart touched and hallowed by one chord of christian 12science, can accomplish the full scale ; but this heart must be honest and in earnest and never weary of struggling

hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disease that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. the condition gets its name from " hemo " for blood and " chroma " for color, referring to the characteristic bronze skin tone that iron overload can cause. someone with hereditary hemochromatosis who has never taken an iron supplement could find out in later years that iron overload is causing serious health problems. iron is a trace mineral that plays a vital role in the body. every red blood cell contains iron in its hemoglobin, the pigment that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. we get iron from our diet, and normally the body absorbs about 10 % of the iron found in foods. people with hemochromatosis absorb double that amount. once absorbed, the excess iron doesn ' t leave the body. instead, it ' s stored in synovium ( joints ) and major organs such as the liver, heart, brain, pancreas, and lungs. over many years, iron accumulates to toxic levels that can damage or even destroy an organ. the iron overload can cause many health problems, most frequently a form of diabetes that ' s often resistant to insulin treatment. because of this, hereditary hemochromatosis is sometimes called " bronze diabetes. " some people with the disease develop symptoms by age 20, although signs of the condition usually appear between ages 40 and 60, when iron in the body has reached damaging levels. women are less likely to develop symptoms of iron buildup than men, probably due to normal iron loss during menstruation. however, hereditary hemochromatosis should not be considered a disease of older people or men. iron buildup is often present and silently causing problems long before symptoms occur — in men, women, adolescents, and in rare cases, children. causes of hereditary hemochromatosis although many people have never heard of hereditary hemochromatosis, it is not rare and affects as many as 1 in every 200 people in the united states, according to the centers for disease control and prevention ( cdc ). hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation on a gene that regulates iron absorption — 1 in every 8 to 10 people in the united states carries a single copy of this defective gene, called hfe. carriers don ' t necessarily have the condition themselves, but can pass the mutated gene on to their children. hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recess


most people play a sport for the thrill of having fun with others who share the same interest. but it ' s not always fun and games. there can be a ton of pressure in high school sports. a lot of the time it comes from the feeling that a parent or coach expects you to always win. but sometimes it comes from inside, too : some players are just really hard on themselves. and individual situations can add to the stress : maybe there ' s a recruiter from your no. 1 college scouting you on the sidelines. whatever the cause, the pressure to win can sometimes stress you to the point where you just don ' t know how to have fun anymore. how can stress affect sports performance? stress is a feeling that ' s created when we react to particular events. it ' s the body ' s way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness. a little stress or the right kind of positive stress can help keep you on your toes, ready to rise to a challenge. the events that provoke stress are called stressors, and they cover a whole range of situations — everything from outright danger to stepping up to take the foul shot that could win the game. stress can also be a response to change or anticipation of something that ' s about to happen — good or bad. people can feel stress over positive challenges, like making the varsity team, as well as negative ones. distress is a bad type of stress that arises when you must adapt to too many negative demands. suppose you had a fight with a close friend last night, you forgot your homework this morning, and you ' re playing in a tennis match this afternoon. you try to get psyched for the game but can ' t. you ' ve hit stress overload! continuous struggling with too much stress can exhaust your energy and drive. eustress is the good type of stress that stems from the challenge of taking part in something that you enjoy but have to work hard for. eustress pumps you up, providing a healthy spark for any task you undertake. when the stress of competition starts to get to you, try these techniques to help you relax : deep breathing : find a quiet place to sit down. inhale slowly through your nose, drawing air deep into your lungs. hold your breath for about 5 seconds, then release it slowly. repeat the exercise five times. muscle relaxation : contract ( flex ) a group of muscles tightly. keep them tensed for about 5 seconds,


, however, go a bit beyond the confines of these two particular worksback to 1928, to the publication of a little - noticed manuscript by science - fiction writer h. g. wells, entitled the open conspiracy. in that work, wells called for the establishment of a " world government " which would supersede the nation - state as the primary form of human social and political existence. reading wells today, one gets the eerie feeling of a weird fascist experiment, wrapped in pseudo - scientific rhetoric, in which big brother controls one ' s every move. this " utopian " scheme, as wells himself dubbed it, probably had little hope of success, except under conditions of raw terror, where a frightened population might come to feel that only in the womb of such a " world government " would there be any security. with the dropping of the atomic bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki in august 1945, such a condition, it was felt by wells ' devotees, had been brought about. shortly after the dropping of the bomb in 1945, lord bertrand russell, a compatriot of wells in the " world commonwealth " project, wrote a short essay entitled " the bomb and civilisation. " in this work russell wrote : " the prospect for the human race is sombre beyond all precedent.... either war or civilization must end, and if it is to be war that ends, there must be an international authority with the sole power to make the new bombs. all supplies of uranium must be placed under the control of the international authority, which shall have the right to safeguard the ore by armed forces. as soon as such an authority has been created, all existing atomic bombs, and all plants for their manufacture, must be handed over. and of course the international authority must have sufficient armed forces to protect whatever has been handed over to it. if this system were once established, the international authority would be irresistible, and wars would cease. at worst, there might be occasional brief revolts that would be easily quelled. " the power of the united states in international affairs is, for the time being, immeasurably increased, " russell continued. " if america were more imperialistic there would be another possibility, less utopian and less desirable, but still preferable to the total obliteration of civilized life. it would be possible for americans to use their position of temporary superiority to insist upon disarmament, not only in germany and japan, but everywhere except in the united states, or at any rate in every country not prepared
