Children in Argentina are preparing to return to schools, with select provinces set to reopen classroom doors as from this Wednesday and others to soon follow suit.
For many students, it will be the first chance for them to enjoy face-to-face classes with their teachers and peers since March last year, when educational institutions were forced to shutter their doors amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking Friday after a meeting of the Federal Council of Education (CFE), President Alberto Fernández celebrated the upcoming return of classes, saying that although it wouldn't be a normal school year, teachers were committed to providing the best education possible.
Declaring that "without health there is no present and without education there is no future," the Peronist leader said that special sanitary protocols would help to protect students and teachers alike.
"Going back to class this time will not have the characteristics of any ordinary day in March. It is a return to a class full of care, preserving the distance and closeness of teachers and students, and prioritising the health of teachers, whom we must help to get their vaccination as soon as possible," said the president, after talks with representatives from all 24 regional jurisdictions.
At a press conference after the meeting, Education Minister Nicolás Trotta said that each regional government would have to follow protocols and ensure a safe return to learning.
"The process of returning will be a permanent construction," said the head of the education portfolio, who assured that the national government would assume the "responsibility of accompanying each of the jurisdictions."
"Beyond the challenge, the conditions for presence are there," he said, adding that talks over salaries would begin soon.
Trotta also addressed when teachers would be offered vaccines, saying the imminent arrival of a new batch of Sputnik V shots from Russia would pave the way. He emphasised, however, that teachers did not need a vaccine to return to classrooms.
The City of Buenos Aires will be the first to begin classes in person this Wednesday (February 17), followed by Jujuy (February 22). Another 16 provinces will begin classes on March 1, with Misiones due to restart on March 9. Patatonian provinces will restart in the first week of March.
Some teachers unions, however, are unhappy at the decision to authorise face-to-face classes. The Ademys union said Friday that it would launch a 72-hour strike next Wednesday in protest at the poor "sanitary conditions, infrastructure and wages" facing teachers. "They push for a return of face-to-face classes while all indicators show the level of contagion is above that recommended for said opening," said the union, which argued the decision put teachers "at great risk."
The government has come under strong criticism from sectors of the opposition in recent months, who say the return of classes should have been authorised much earlier.

The paper presents the description of multiply connected conducting regions (MCCR) in the finite elements space. In order to define induced currents distribution in multiply connected regions, an innovative method of combined vector potentials T and T0 has been suggested. The equations of T-T0 method have been presented. Moreover, the relations describing sources for the field of induced currents in the discussed regions have been given. The proposed method has been applied to solve Problem No. 7 of the International TEAM Workshops. The selected results of calculation have been compared with the measurement results.

Priority flood control projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways continue to go on full blast to help reduce flood risks in Northern Mindanao.
Three (3) contract packages of the P8.55 Billion DPWH Flood Risk Management Project for Cagayan De Oro River are moving into implementation stage to mitigate flood risk in Cagayan de Oro River Basin.
In an inspection with officials of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) led by the Philippines' Chief Representative Yoshio Wada, DPWH Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain of the Unified Project Management Office (UPMO) Operations and Technical Services said that the Flood Risk Management Project for Cagayan de Oro River will expand protected flood prone areas and strengthen the resiliency to climate change and other hydrometeorological hazards of the communities along the Cagayan de Oro River stretch.
With funding from Official Development Assistance of the Government of Japan through JICA, the Flood Risk Management Project for Cagayan de Oro River features innovative technology and design approach based on a 25-year flood return period for resilient flood management to protect an area of about 290 hectares and 18,100 structures after full completion in 2023.
In the past, flashfloods brought by upstream rains reaching the downstream of Cagayan de Oro River have affected thousands of families in Cagayan de Oro City and destroyed not just properties but agricultural areas and public infrastructure.
Construction of flood protection measures which is being implemented by the Office of Undersecretary Sadain and UPMO Flood Control Management Cluster under Project Director Patrick Gatan will prevent flashfloods from recurring and contribute to the sustainable and stable economic development in Cagayan de Oro City.
The project involves the construction of 11,928 meters earth dike, 3,259 meters concrete flood wall including 1,449 meters reinforced concrete/masonry slope protection, 2,756 meters of new road and raising of existing road for evacuation, installation of three (3) steel slide gates and 19 flap gates, improvement of Kagayan River, and construction of retarding basin, concrete box/pipe culverts and headwall and drainage outlets.
On July 9, Japanese Ambassador Koji Haneda, DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar, JICA Philippines Chief Representative Yoshio Wada, DPWH Undersecretary Sadain, Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano, and other officials led the inauguration ceremony of P778-million Tagoloan River Basin Flood Control Project also located in Region 10.
The project aims to mitigate flood damage in the high-risk vulnerable areas of Tagoloan River which flows to an important industrial zone in the lower basin of Tagoloan.

Three Trio Sonatas for Two Flutes (or Two Violins) and Basso Continuo, Op. 5 HWV397/398/401
- Interesting, worth a look
- Recommended edition
From the Publisher
The three Trio Sonatas in this edition were taken from the sonata collection published in London by John Walsh in 1739. Since hardly any chamber music compositions have come down to us from Handel's later years other than the well-known D major Violin Sonata, these Trio Sonatas can be considered as one of Handel's last contributions to the field of instrumental chamber music.
The first edition specifies two violins or flutes as melody instruments for the Op.5 Sonatas. However, since scoring indications, particularly in instrumental chamber music, were taken very liberally at that time, it is also perfectly legitimate to play these works in other instrumental combinations (for example, violin and flute).

- Sonata in E minor Op.5 No.3 (HWV 398)

text: Corona electric discharge phenomenon occurs when the electric field intensity exceeds the corona threshold. In the analysis of this paper, three types of hypotheses of partial charge (electrons, positive ions, negative ions) generated in the air due to corona electrical discharge are considered. The physical process is produced along with the changes and dynamics of the electric charge applied to the field by the charge movement which has velocity due to electric fields and motion due to slope (diffusion) and we will also see losses in electric charge. In this paper, electric load evaluation on a polymer surface by a positive impact corona in the air was performed. Output (circuit current) and input (electric fields and electric charge space density) are considered in computer simulation analysis. Different models have been used to identify the corona, depending on the intensity and extent of the voltage surges. The dynamics and distribution of electric charges and electric fields are analyzed and compared by two models of corona charging (glow and burst impulse).


How to send two different DocRead tasks from the same base document
It is really easy to use DocRead to assign an item that has been stored in a SharePoint document library or list to groups of users who then must acknowledge the completion of the item leaving an audit trail to prove exactly who has completed what task and when. DocRead allows you to select several SharePoint Groups / Active Directory groups and individuals who will all receive the same instructions and will all be asked to complete the same task.
However if you need two groups of employees to read / complete the same information, but with slightly different requirements then this is also easy to arrange without having to duplicate the initial document or save details in multiple locations by using a link to the document.
For example:
1) If you need Group A to read a document and take an associated quiz but also need Group B to read exactly the same document but who do not need to answer the quiz.
2) If Group C are required to read an item, but it only needs to be recommended to Group D and you wish email messages to contain appropriate messages to be sent to both groups.
How to create two DocRead tasks from the same item
1) Save the item in the required SharePoint library or list.
2) Create a link to the document, this is shown in more detail in the post here.
3) Use DocRead message templates to ensure the email notifications and messages the user receives in the DocRead task window are appropriate for the task.
4) Attach surveys created with DocSurvey as necessary.
5) Repeat steps 2, 3 +4 to create as many iterations as you need.
6) Assign each link to the document (with the correct messages) to the correct group(s) of users.
7) Ensure the item is checked in, approved as necessary and a major version has been created, then wait for the DocRead timer job to run (or process reading tasks manually on the site) for the tasks to be created. Remember after the tasks have been created you may need to wait a little while longer for the associated emails to be sent (this will depend on the settings you have used for the email notification schedule timer jobs).

Laser welding machines are an advanced form of welding technology used in many industries. Traditional welding equipment comes with significant limitations, that's why laser welding machines have become popular over the years. These machines emit high-intensity beams of focused light that heat and fuse a material's surface together. In this article, we will discuss the cost of a handheld laser welding machine as compared to other welding equipment, and whether it can be used for industrial production.
laser welding equipment cost
The cost of a handheld laser welding machine comes at a premium. However, it provides a more productive and efficient outcome than other welding equipment. Its cost varies on several factors, including the type of laser, features, and power. On average, a handheld laser welding machine costs between $20,000 and $45,000. To compare, other welding equipment comes at a much lower price range from $200 to $5,000. The table below provides further comparison:
|Type of Welding Equipment||Price Range|
|MIG Welder||$339 to $5,000|
|TIG Welder||$288 to $4,000|
|Stick Welder||$200 to $1,250|
7 Factors Affecting Laser Welding Equipment Cost
- Laser Source Type:
The type of laser source significantly impacts the cost of laser welding equipment. There are various types of lasers used for welding, such as fiber lasers, CO2 lasers, and solid-state lasers. Fiber lasers are commonly preferred due to their high efficiency and reliability, but they might come at a higher initial cost compared to CO2 lasers.
- Power Output:
The power output of the laser is a critical determinant of equipment cost. Higher power lasers can handle thicker materials and faster welding speeds but are generally more expensive than lower power options.
- Laser Welding System Type:
The cost of laser welding equipment can vary based on the system type. Benchtop or compact laser welding systems designed for smaller-scale applications are generally more affordable than large-scale industrial systems.
- Automation and Integration:
Laser welding equipment can be integrated into automated production lines to improve efficiency. The level of automation and integration required for specific applications can impact the overall cost of the equipment.
- Control System and Software:
Advanced control systems and software that offer precise control over welding parameters and process monitoring might contribute to higher equipment costs. However, these features enhance welding accuracy and repeatability.
- Cooling and Gas Supply:
Laser welding equipment requires cooling systems and gas supply for optimal performance. The type and capacity of cooling and gas supply systems can influence the overall cost.
- Brand and Manufacturer:
The reputation and brand of the equipment manufacturer can also impact the cost. Established and well-known brands might offer higher-priced equipment due to their reliability and customer support.
Applications of a Handheld Laser Welding Machine
A handheld laser welding machine can be used in a variety of applications, including research, jewelry making, and detail repair works. These machines can weld different types of metals, including aluminum, steel, and copper. Being handheld machines, they are lightweight, portable, and can be used in confined spaces. Additionally, they can be used for spot welding, seam welding, and overlap welding. Despite being small and portable, handheld laser welding machines offer quick processing and high-quality output.
Industrial Production Using Handheld Laser Welding Machine
While handheld laser welding machines are primarily used in small-scale applications, they are also suitable for industrial production. With their lightweight and portability features, they can be used on the production line, making it easy to move from one station to another. However, it is essential to note that high-power laser welding machines are better suited for large-scale industrial production. They are less portable, and their beams are more powerful, making the welding of thicker metals possible. These industrial-grade laser welding machines come at a higher cost but provide greater welding strength and efficiency than handheld welding machines.
Top 4 Advantages of a Handheld Laser Welding Machine Over Other Welding Equipment
- Precision: Handheld laser welding machines are precise in welding, providing a high-quality output that is unmatched by other welding equipment.
- Portable: The handheld laser welding machine is small, lightweight, and portable compared to other welding equipment.
- Versatility: Handheld laser welding machines can be used to weld different types of materials, including steel, copper, and aluminum.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
My question is about the concept of nonstandard metric space that would arise from a use of the nonstandard reals R* in place of the usual R-valued metric.
That is, let us define that a topological space X is a nonstandard metric space, if there is a distance function, not into the reals R, but into some nonstandard R* in the sense of nonstandard analysis. That is, there should be a distance function d from X2 into R*, such that d(x,y)=0 iff x=y, d(x,y)=d(y,x) and d(x,z) <= d(x,y)+d(y,z). Such a nonstandard metric would give rise to the nonstandard open balls, which would generate a metric-like topology on X.
There are numerous examples of such spaces, beginning with R* itself. Indeed, every metric space Y has a nonstandard analogue Y*, which is a nonstandard metric space. In addition, there are nonstandard metric spaces that do not arise as Y* for any metric space Y. Most of these examples will not be metrizable, since we may assume that R* has uncountable cofinality (every countable set is bounded), and this will usually prevent the existence of a countable local basis. That is, the nested sequence of balls around a given point will include the balls of infinitesimal radius, and the intersection of any countably many will still be bounded away from 0. For example, R* itself will not be metrizable. The space R* is not connected, since it is the union of the infinitesimal neighborhoods of each point. In fact, one can show it is totally disconnected.
Nevertheless, it appears to me that these nonstandard metric spaces are as useful in many ways as their standard counterparts. After all, one can still reason about open balls, with the triangle inequality and whatnot. It's just that the distances might be nonstandard. What's more, the nonstandard reals offer some opportunities for new topological constructions: in a nonstandard metric space, one has the standard-part operation, which would be a kind of open-closure of a set---For any set Y, let Y+ be all points infinitesimally close to a point in Y. This is something like the closure of Y, except that Y+ is open! But we have Y subset Y+, and Y++=Y+, and + respects unions, etc.
In classical topology, we have various metrization theorems, such as Urysohn's theorem that any second-countable regular Hausdorff space is metrizable.
Question. Which toplogical spaces admit a nonstandard metric? Do any of the classical metrization theorems admit an analogue for nonstandard metrizability? How can we tell if a given topological space admits a nonstandard metric?
I would also be keen to learn of other interesting aspects of nonstandard metrizability, or to hear of interesting applications.
I have many related questions, such as when is a nonstandard metric space actually metrizable? Is there any version of R* itself which is metrizable? (e.g. dropping the uncountable cofinality hypothesis)

I think what you're talking about can be expressed more naturally in terms of non-metrizable uniform spaces. – Harry Gindi Jan 6 '10 at 2:32
Well, every nonstandard metric space is uniform for the same reason that every metric space is uniform. But are you proposing it as an equivalence? – Joel David Hamkins Jan 6 '10 at 3:17
No, I was just saying that *R-metrizability can be reduced to a much nicer condition in terms of standard analysis by using uniform spaces. – Harry Gindi Jan 6 '10 at 4:16
It seems that Dorais's answer bears out your expectation! So thanks very much. Although I suppose "nice" is relative; after all, the R* metric captures in one distance function the same information as uncountably many pseudo-metrics... – Joel David Hamkins Jan 6 '10 at 5:22
True, but we understand the standard reals much better than the nonstandard reals. – Harry Gindi Jan 6 '10 at 10:17

The uniformity defined by a *R-valued metric is of a special kind.
Let $(n_i)_{i<\kappa}$ be a cofinal sequence of positive elements in *R. We may assume that $i < j$ implies that $n_i/n_j$ is infinitesimal.
Given a *R-valued metric space $(X,d)$ we can define a family $(d_i)_{i<\kappa}$ of pseudometrics by $d_i(x,y) = st(b(n_id(x,y)))$, where $st$ is the standard part function and $b(z) = z/(1+z)$ to make the metrics bounded by $1$. The topology on $X$ is defined by the family of pseudometrics $(d_i)_{i<\kappa}$. Note that these pseudometrics have a the following special property:
(+) If $i < j < \kappa$ and $d_j(x,y) < 1$ then $d_i(x,y) = 0$.
Every uniform space can be defined by a family of pseudometrics, but it is rather unusual for the family to have property (+) when $\kappa > \omega$.
On the other hand, given a family of pseudometrics $(d_i)_{i<\kappa}$ bounded by $1$ with property (+), then we can recover a *R-valued metric by defining $d(x,y) = d_i(x,y)/n_i$, where $i$ is minimal such that $d_i(x,y) > 0$.

Wow, that is great! Thanks very much. – Joel David Hamkins Jan 6 '10 at 4:26
I'm guessing that (+) is equivalent to the uniformity being generated by a fundamental system of size $\kappa$ which is moreover $<\kappa$-directed, but that's just a guess. – François G. Dorais Jan 6 '10 at 4:46
I don't see that you ever use your assumption that kappa is uncountable. – Joel David Hamkins Jan 6 '10 at 4:52
Yes, I just fixed that, thanks. (Those were remnants of an earlier more complicated answer.) – François G. Dorais Jan 6 '10 at 5:13
Your sequence of pseudo metrics seems similar to a representation of d in an ultrapower presentation of R*. That is, if R* arises as an ultrapower of R, then can one use the ultrapower representations directly to build the pseudometrics? – Joel David Hamkins Jan 6 '10 at 14:34

These are $\omega_\mu$-metrizable spaces, where $\omega_\mu$ is the cofinality of ${}^*\mathbb{R}$. Take a decreasing sequence $\langle x_\alpha:\alpha<\omega_\mu\rangle$ of positive elements that converges to $0$; because $\omega_\mu$ is regular uncountable one can ensure that $x_{\alpha+1}/x_\alpha$ is always infinitesimal. Any 'metric' $d:X\times X\to\mathbb{R}$ can be converted to an ultrametric $\rho$ with values in $\{x_\alpha:\alpha<\omega_\mu\}$; it satisfies the strong triangle inequality: $\rho(x,z)\le\max\{\rho(x,y),\rho(y,z)\}$. These spaces are also called linearly uniformizable: the sets $A_\alpha=\lbrace (x,y):\rho(x,y) < x_\alpha \rbrace $ form a (linearly ordered) base for a uniformity that generates the same topology as $\rho$. Also, because of the uncountable cofinality, these spaces are $P$-spaces: $G_\delta$-sets are open. The only metrizable such spaces must be discrete. Here is one of the earliest papers that I am aware of to treat this kind thing systematically.

I don' t know how relevant this is to your question, but some topologists have investigated quite extensively topological spaces with metrics in a lattice-ordered group, ie a group with a lattice order, compatible with the group operation. Your R*-metric spaces seem to be a chapter of this general theory (and similarly the theory of spaces with metrics in ON, which maybe are also of interest to you), so perhaps a few questions you have touched upon in your post can be answered from a broader perspective.
Here is an interesting paper by several authors, one of whom is Ralph Kopperman:
PS Kopperman has two desiderable features from your geolocation's standpoint, the first is working in the NYC area (CCNY if I am not mistaken), and the second one is being a friend and collaborator of Prabhud Misra (and thus, via the small world law, very reachable). If I remember well, Ralph is an expert in these type of things, and so you may ask him for further infos, if needs be.

There are massive data collected by IP-guard, important data is difficult to be emphasized by the massive data. And thus the potential Risk is not easy to be noticed. As a result, additional workload is needed in order to analyse the data. The Report management helps by providing 3 different kinds of report: the Statistics Report, the Trend Report and the Potential Risk Report.
Provide statistics for:
- Computer activity time, individual application execution time, as well as website browsing time
- The number of files that being uploaded / downloaded / deleted / copied /moved / modified, and the corresponding file size
- The printing frequency and number of page printed
- Number of sentences and characters sent from the instant messaging software
- Number and size of email sent
- Indicate the Trend of Computer Usage for a specified period of time
- Base on Computer, User or specific condition to provide the Usage Trend of Application, Website browsing, Printing, Email sent, File editing/deleting, Instant Messenger record and File Copy at USB Storage Device
- The management can analysis and make comparison between different users/ computers usage.
Potential Risk Report
- Base on the preset threshold condition to generate the potential risk counting (Low risk, Important, High risk) in order to alert any Potential Risk.
- The threshold condition can be preset: Website Browsing Time, Application Usage Time, Printing frequency, Number of page printed, USB Storage Device plugs in frequency, file copied and its size, Instant Messenger chatting sentences and characters, Email sent frequency and its size, Frequency of file copied/edited/deleted and its size.
- Periodically generate reports, and send to dedicate email address automatically
- The reports can be customized by using different report templates

Theodore of Pavia
Our father among the saints Theodore of Pavia was the Bishop of Pavia during the eighth century. He is noted for his opposition to the arian Lombard kings and the heresy of arianism that they espoused. His feast day is May 20.
Little is known of his early life, including the time and place of his birth as well as his early ecclesiastical life. Theodore became Bishop of Pavia in 743 and served God and the faithful of Pavia for thirty five years. As Pavia was the capital of the kingdom of the arian Lombards, Theodore was in continual opposition with them. This resulted in his being banished and punished several times. Nevertheless, he remained faithful to his Orthodox community and is remembered as a saint.
The date of his death is uncertain as it is believed he died about the year 778, but may have been as early as 769.

] not necessarily identify a family or a relationship; it signified a place of residence. If farmer Ole Olsen Li moved from Li to another farm, such as Dal, he would then be known as Ole Olsen Dal. A farm laborer could be named in the same way, even though he was not related to the farmer."[1]
Another problem with including farm names as part of someone's surname is making the decision of which farm name to use. It is not uncommon for a person to live more than one place over the course of their lifetime. Would you use:
 - The farm on which they were born
 - The farm where they were living at the time of their confirmation
 - Where they lived when the census was taken
 - The farm they lived on when they were married
 - The farm where their children were born
 - The farm where they died
Farm Names in Local Histories[edit | edit source]
Many local histories (bygdebøker) published in Norway appear to include farm names as part of a person's name. This use is frequently misunderstood by persons who are not familiar with the literature and incorrectly assume it is the person's surname.
For example, this entry for Ljono farm from Ulvik gardsog ættesoga. Under the entries for Gjele, a smaller part of Ljono farm, Jon Asbjørnsson Håheim is identified[2]. Here Håheim is used to indicate which farm more information about him can be found, and does not mean Håheim is part of his name.
Norwegian-American Name Changes[edit | edit source]
Anders Halvorsen of Stordahl farm marries Kari Knutsdatter and has the following children:
 1. Halvor Andersen, b. 1830
 2. Anne Andersdatter, b. 1832
 3. Knut Andersen, b. 1834
 4. Mari Andersdatter, b. 1836
 5. Erik Andersen, b. 1838
 - Halvor Andersen lived at Bråten farm before emigrating to the United States in 1855. He goes by the name Halvor A. Bratten.
 - Anne Andersdatter emigrates with her brother in 1855. She uses the name Anderson when married in 1857 in Minnesota.
 - Knut Andersen emigrates in 1856. He uses the name Knut A. Stordahl.
 - Mari remained in Norway and was known as Mari Andersdatter.
 - Anders Halvorsen and his wife Kari Knutsdatter emigrated with the two youngest children in 1862. They and the two children carry on with the name Halvorson in the US.

Made from approximately 14,000 pieces, Bloom is the first architectural application of a laminated metal material that includes nickel and manganese with a bit of iron.
Architecture has long been valued for its static nature and sense of permanence. Increasingly, however, architects are working to make buildings more responsive to their users and to the climate. Often this is accomplished through mechanical means, but architect Doris Kim Sung, principal of LA-based DOSU studio architecture, is looking at how building materials themselves can be responsive, integrating changeability into the structure itself.
The dramatic shell-like form of her recent pavilion, called Bloom, suggests, at first glance, that Sung is interested in cutting-edge digital design. While this is certainly the case, Bloom's true innovation happens more slowly, through the bending of its metal panels according to heat levels generated by the sun.
Commissioned by LA's Materials and Applications gallery, the project had to be lightweight, not touch the adjacent buildings, and not produce any harmful glare for neighbors. Despite its considerable dimensions—20 feet high by 25 feet wide by 40 feet long—Bloom weighs approximately 500 pounds. "Our bigger concern ended up being up-lift from the wind," she said.
Made from approximately 14,000 pieces, Bloom is, according to Sung, the first architectural application of the laminated metal material, which includes nickel and manganese with a bit of iron. The material is typically used in industrial applications. Sung first learned of this laminate metal after seeing it used for a lampshade by a Japanese designer. "I started thinking to myself, 'if this designer used it for a lamp, where the heat from the bulb causes it to curl, why couldn't it be responsive to the sun?'" she said. "As an architect, I'm always thinking about how buildings will perform."
The two metals have different heat coefficients, which cause the material to curl when heat is applied. Sung specified material that would begin to curl at 70 degrees (temperatures above 400 degrees will begin to pull the laminate apart). The outer side of the tiles has a higher percentage of manganese and iron, which quickly weathered into a rust color, while the inner side has a greater amount of nickel, giving it a silvery finish.
To generate the form, Sung worked with a variety of software, including Rhino for the initial design, which she then refined through the Rhino SMART Form plug-in to make the design as thin and light-weight as possible. From there, she used Ecotech to model how solar heat would move across the surface as well as the surface temperature of the structure. She then imported the design into Grasshopper, which allowed her to break the structure down into its thousands of component parts. She used LS-DYNA to model Bloom's structural integrity.
The 14,000 metal tiles have the same basic cruciform shape, however, the thickness and length of the "tails" varies, allowing differing degrees of curvature, and therefore differing levels of shade underneath the structure (depending, again, on how and where the solar heat hits the surface).
Sung worked with two different laser cutting facilities, which typically work for the aerospace industry, to fabricate the tiles: Precision Waterjet and Serra Laser Cutting. Volunteers and students then began the several month process of assembling the tiles into panels—by hand using rivets and nuts and bolts—which were then affixed to a lightweight aluminum frame. The frame and the panels support each other, creating a monocoque structure with a load-bearing skin.
For Sung, Bloom is just the beginning of what responsive architecture could be. Harnessing digital technology, advanced fabrication, and new materials point to dynamic new possibilities for the discipline.

You must know that a hemisphere is a half of a sphere. Below are the formulas to find the curved surface area of a hemisphere (without the base circle area) and the total surface area of a hemisphere (with the base circle area).
Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere:
You must know that the surface area of a sphere is 4πr². A hemisphere is half of a sphere, this must mean that the curved surface area of a hemisphere is 2 divide by the surface area of a sphere. That is; 4πr²/2 which gives the following expression.
Total Surface Area of Hemisphere
If you're to take into consideration the base circle below the curve meaning the total surface area. The surface area would be a combination of the above area and the area of the circle. As simple as that!. The area of the circle is πr². This means the total surface area is 2πr² + πr². If we simplify this gives 3πr² as expressed below.
Remember there is a difference between the curved surface area and the total surface area. The total surface area includes the base circle below the hemisphere and the curve surface area does not, it's just the curve of the hemisphere.

Doubts regarding XSL and DOM
Subject: Doubts regarding XSL and DOM
From: keshlam@xxxxxxxxxx
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 16:37:42 -0500
xsl and dom
>DOM is an API used by a prog. lang/application, XSL is neither <...>
We're _almost_ in synch. XSL is an application. As such, the question of
how it models XML internally isn't directly relevant; you're talking to XSL
rather than to the model.
>I feel it would be proper to have "DOM-like read-only access" methods as
>they would leverage the XSL pattern syntax by giving them a DOM like feel.
Think of the DOM as a useful subroutine library. That's all it is.
The "feel" of the pattern syntax doesn't particularly have to be DOM-like.
Where the two are discussing similar things, there are definitely
advantages to using similar words -- but that mostly means that both XSL
and DOM should track the XML terminology, when it applies.
The syntax is already very different (XSL patterns are based on the
XML-Query proposal, right?), and for good reason: a query language can
express things that the underlying representation may not directly support,
and is oriented toward some combination of terseness and clarity of
expression rather than being anchored in a programming-language-like
syntax.
Of course _if_ the DOM adds richer querying mechanisms next time around,
and _if_ the XML-Query syntax happens to be directly representable in terms
of those additions, then you might in fact wind up simply passing your
query string to the DOM... in which case the XSL syntax would arguably
become part of the DOM syntax, rather than vice versa. XSL is certainly
going to be a strong influence on any DOM query mechanisms, but until and
unless the DOM WG announces a direction we won't know exactly how strong.

Javascript CT implementation
CTUtils is a CT implementation for Javascript. It currently supports the protocol as defined in RFC6962.
There are classes for all structures defined in the specification with methods for verification, binary parsing and dumping where appropriate.
There are also two different helper classes that perform common operations on CT log lists and certificates.
Installation
Use:
npm run build
to build the module.
Use:
npm run generate-docs
to generate the documentation
Requirements
If running under node, you will need a fetch and a webcrypto polyfill, such as node-fetch and node-webcrypto-ossl. After importing them, you need to set both engines using setFetch and setWebCrypto. As an example, you can use the following:
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const WebCrypto = require('node-webcrypto-ossl');
const CTUtils = require('ctutils');
const webcrypto = new WebCrypto();
CTUtils.setFetch(fetch);
CTUtils.setWebCrypto(webcrypto);
Usage
For the moment, you can see the generated documentation for sample usage.

Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence By Alex Berenson
Book/Novel Author: Alex Berenson
Book/Novel Title: Tell Your Children
Read online
Full Screen
Recreational marijuana is now legal in nine states. Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization has been built on myths—that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is beneficial for mental health. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, explodes those myths, explaining that almost no one is in prison for marijuana; a tiny fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical marijuana, mostly for people who have already used; and marijuana use is linked to opiate and cocaine use. Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug's high—can cause psychotic episodes.
"Alex Berenson has a reporter's tenacity, a novelist's imagination, and an outsider's knack for asking intemperate questions" (Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker), as he ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating.
With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, Tell Your Children is a "well-written treatise" (Publishers Weekly) that "takes a sledgehammer to the promised benefits of marijuana legalization, and cannabis enthusiasts are not going to like it one bit" (Mother Jones).

I. What is Messy Lashes?
About this question, there is more than one answer, because different Messy Lashes Vendors have different views on this concept.

Swiss cheese
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Revision as of 20:16, January 21, 2013 by (talk)
Jump to: navigation, search
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Swiss cheese.
This article refers to Swiss cheese made in America. For Swiss Cheese made in Switzerland, see Cheeses of Switzerland
Discovered in 1283, Swiss Cheese is a rare and magical breed of cheese. It is formed by coagulating cow's milk, compressing the remaining solid material, then shooting it with a shotgun.
One of the 12 Fundamental Cheeses, Swiss cheese exists only in the most outer areas of the Universe due to its inherent instability around other cheeses.
Birth Place
It was in Switzerland where one of Santa's elves, Hermie the Yodeling Elf found a Chicago typewriter and soon found himself a case of exploding diarrhea that caused him to unintentionally pull the tigger on a wagon of cheese wheels thus giving us Swiss cheese, If you come closer to it you hear the yodeling of dead yodelers echoing through the wheels in the making of these holely delights of cheddar
Space-worms, now well known for their magical properties, thus went about their business creating wormholes through the "Swiss cheese." However, unlike the majority of the worms' holes, wormholes created in areas of high Swiss cheese density remain open for many years. This is the main reason for the lack of recent human exploration to the outermost reaches of space.
It also explains why the Swiss have to have such excellent watches, and why large amounts of money keep mysteriously appearing in their banks.
Swiss cheese is the reason why Switzerland is known for their constant horn blowing, random yelling of the word "Ricola" and non-stop yodeling
One day, in the year 1894, the Swiss were enjoying a nice day of picnics, filled with normal, non-hole-filled cheese. However, they did not predict an ambush by pissed off Turkeys that smashed themselves free from windows of poultry/butcher shops with magic and AK-47s with Tommy Gun action. The swiss decided to use the normal, hole-free cheese wheels as either discuses or wepons but the attempt failed as the turkeys shot holes in every cheese wheel that came near them.
The Swiss Cheese Paradox
Swiss cheese in it's purest form, also known as a Black Hole. This particular block of Swiss cheese became so "swiss" during fermentation, it lead to a complete collapse of an entire galactic sector.
1 - Swiss cheese has holes.
2 - More Swiss cheese, more holes.
3 - The more holes there are, less cheese.
4 - Therefore, more cheese is less cheese.
Mind-boggling, isn't it?
It is for this reason that cheese scientists are always wary of "not making the cheese too holey". For safety reasons most large-scale manufacturing takes place on the outer edges of the galaxy. There have been many documented collapses of star systems due to successful Swiss cheese production. It is now believed that at the center of most galaxies is the purest swiss cheese; Some have ventured on expeditions to obtain this cheese, however none have ever returned (Presumably due to Temporal Paradoxs)
Swiss cheese and it's side effects
Swiss Cheese has many side effects
Part-Time Chemist and Professor Odie O. Colognie diagnosed the following when eating swiss cheese
- Nonstop Yodeling
- Constant urge to screw a Sweedish woman
- Undescribable urge to wear lederhosen
- Insanity (i.e. claiming to be Jesus and Satan)
- Uncontrollable urge to yell "Ricola" a zillion times before your head explodes
and... exploding diarrhea
Scientific studies disprove popular belief
A four-year study recently completed by post-doctorate Food Technologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has shown that contrary to popular belief, Swiss cheese does not have holes in it. Samples of Swiss cheese were collected over the four-year period from randomly-selected supermarkets and 7-ll stores across the USA and centrifugally separated in sealed chambers designed for analysis of moon rock, thus enabling the technologists to perform discrete quantitative studies on the yellow matter and the invisible, colourless matter (the so-called "holes" in popular nomenclature). Employing atomic weighing systems normally used to establish the mass of individual hydrogen electrons to an accuracy of <0.00000001%, they found that forty tons of Swiss cheese contained no holes at all.
Other samples were found to have holes, however when background checks were conducted on the samples, the samples seem to have come from a long history within the cheese mafia. Autopsy results say that the holes were indeed made by bullets. Scientists believe that someone got to the cheese before it could talk.

[Zbrafish] IACUC approval for commercial vendors
Bill Trevarrow via zbrafish%40net.bio.net (by trevarro from uoneuro.uoregon.edu)
Mon Jun 23 16:00:20 EST 2008
Greetings DMA,
There are many facets to your recent post. Here
are some considerations that occurred to me:
With respect to a pet store source of fish:
- There are several considerations; availability
and expense, fish genetics and fish pathogens.
- Some pet store fish are extremely robust and fecund.
- Pet stores in general do not always get their
fish from the same source. The store may get them
from different wholesalers and each wholesaler
may get them from different producers. Petco,
however, being a large corporation, is probably
getting their ZF from a single source with a long
term contract.
- The quality and genetics will vary as the sources change.
- Large non-laboratory fish sources are probably
more likely to harbor diseases.
- Passing fish through pet stores in general
(including large corporate fish stores) often
exposes them to the diseases of fish that have
passed through the fish store in the past.
- These fish may also be easier to get through
the larval stages and therefore useful in
initially developing nursery care.
With respect to how your facility is operating:
- It sounds like you have a very small set-up and
are not breeding your next generation of fish.
You just want to purchase them. This reduces the
importance of maintaining a completely disease
free facility. The losses you might have in your
worst case scenario (all fish dead, pathogens in
all tanks) can be relatively easily fixed (bleach
everything, re-establish proper functioning of
your filtration, and buy new fish).
This won't work in a large facility maintaining
many different lines, some of which may be
genetically unique. Even if the establish lines
are available, getting them and quarantining them
into the facility is a big hassle.
- However, this does not remove your
responsibility of taking good care of your fish,
trying to get healthy ones, and avoiding sick
With respect to the IACUC:
- Try using common sense with the IACUC. What has
the history been of the fish you got from that
source? How many other approved fish sources are
out there? What are the requirements for approval
and how realistically relevant are they to your
zebrafish colony? Records such as longevity of
the different groups of fish may be useful in
these discussions.
With respect to the intended use of the fish:
- If you are not using them for genetics then pet
store fish maybe fine, however, if your are doing
molecular biology them you are doing genetics and
it could matter. Also other factors (such as
disease) may effect experimental results.
>Hi all, especially those of you with insight into veterinarians.
>I have an approved protocol to work with fish embryos; my
>"colony" (school?) of fish consists of two ten gallon tanks with
>filters etc, about 20 fish, and it is in my lab, not the animal
>quarters. In that protocol I listed ZIRC as the source of the
>adults. I have found, however, that my local Petco sells perfectly
>healthy fish for about $1 each, and shopping there has the advantage

>Here's the but - Petco is not an "approved vendor" and the vet on my

>Does anyone else just use pet store wildtypes? Am I making a huge

Discussion Techniques – Application and Performance
Discussion Techniques - Application and Performance
Applying learning is important in all disciplines because it allows learners process information rather than simply receive it. Lectures mixed with application and performance like tasks can help maintain learners' focus. As they discuss their answers, they get different perspectives on the topic. Good activities during lectures can get students to think deeply and apply their knowledge.
Difficulty: 2/5
Class of learners
Core Competency Connection
Sketch of a dragonfly on a green gradient background
Sketch of three wolves on a grey gradient background
Sketch of two bees on a yellow gradient background
The Process
1. Contemporary issues journal
Have learners keep a journal for the purpose of connecting in-class issues and readings to contemporary events or personal experiences. Use the journal for individual learner assessment or discussion.
2. Directed paraphrase
Ask learners to articulate important passages or concepts in their own words. Learners can complete this task orally with partners or small groupsThis can also be done as an individual written activity.
3. Insights-resources-application (IRA)
Ask learners to complete a written assignment that includes discussion of 1) new understandings (insights), 2) resources that amplify or make sense of the reading (resources), and 3) an example from the learner's personal experience that relates (application). These can be short essays that can help begin discussion.
4. Jigsaw
Break off class into several small groups that will work to develop expertise together on a specific concept. Then reassign each learner to new groups with the other experts and have them teach the concepts to their peers.
5. (Virtual) Field trips
Visit a virtual location (or off-campus location, if restrictions allow) for first-hand observation, possibly with outside experts to help inform learners. This may require some preparation, especially if it involves interacting with others in a knowledgeable and ethical manner.

An original fill-me-in activity book: can you save the citizens of Doodlesville from a dinosaur invasion? Playful drawings and simple prompts invite creators of all ages to colour, draw and imagine.
Doodlesville needs your help!
Part graphic novel, part doodle/sticker book, this is an unusual, fascinating and engrossing book which will really fire children's imagination. It is a fill-me-in activity book which allows the reader to take control of the story: can you save the citizens of Doodlesville from a dinosaur invasion? Playful drawings and simple prompts invite creators of all ages to colour, draw and imagine - and there are stickers to embellish the story as well. The spiral bound format makes the book easy to use and the text is full of inspiration, with plenty of prompts and suggestions. If you have a child who finds creative writing challenging (and especially if they like dinoaurs!) then I highly recommend this book - it will really stimulate them. -- Sarah Brew Parents in TOuch
Thomas Flintham has an MA from Camberwell College of Art. His fresh, funky, cartoony illustrations have featured in many titles for Templar including the Super Science series (Feel the Force, Matter Matters) and Marvellous Maths.


D'Arvit is the most commonly used Gnommish word in the Artemis Fowl series. We know it's a swear word from the first time it's introduced:
"D'Arvit!" growled Root. (There is no point translating that word as it would have to be censored.)
-- Artemis Fowl, Chapter 5: Missing in Action (emphasis mine)
And from one of the later books:
"Hurkk," said Artemis half-choking with surprise.
"D'Arvit," swore Holly.
I think we all know what D'Arvit means," said No.1. "But hurkk is not English.
-- AF and the Time Paradox, Chapter 5: I Now Pronounce You (emphasis mine)
Is the actual meaning of the word D'Arvit ever revealed or implied? Perhaps some hints are dropped from which its general ballpark can be deduced (e.g. is it sexual? does it refer to bodily waste?) Or perhaps Colfer has said something about this in an interview?
From here:
Despite popular belief D'arvit was not the creation of popular Irish author Eoin Colfer. In the Aran islands their is a legend that a dark banshee (Banshee which goes against the laws of magic) will rip your soul from your body when your alone regardless of whether your dieing or not and u feel a chill run up your spine a dark banshee is near and the only way to protect yourself would be to utter "Dh'ábhoit". The folklore was told all over the provinces of Connacht and Munster but during the English conquest by Henry the VIII. It was anglicized as "d'arvit".which is pronounced the same as the original and now its mainly used in Gaeltacht of Connacht as a form of a curse or cuss, in english or Gaelic (Irish). The word is seen as the equivilant of "Fuck" due to its versatility. Some see it's new found popularity as a curse on the Irish Language while some see it as a piece of Irish everywhere. It's use outside of Ireland is rare though.
However, this is pretty questionable.
The Internet invented an unverifiable legend for the fairy swear word "D'Arvit."
I know that I've tried a few Gaelic dictionaries (including some specific to the Connacht dialect) and come up with no matches.

 ^_^ I posted this, then got called by my wife to dry dishes. I'm going to leave it up because I think it's about as close as we're going to get to an answer short of simply stating that "there is no meaning ascribed past fanfiction" and "It means 'Belgium'". – FuzzyBoots Jan 8 '17 at 2:10

Application of cable seal at petroleum transportation
The new type anti-fake cable seal is researched and developed by using current advanced QR code technology and combining specific features of refined petroleum road transportation. Its QR code label and sealing mechanism adopts integrated sealing structure to ensure the solidness of the whole. This product solves the problems of old type seals such as low duplicate cost, easy in duplicate, no encryption information, bad anti-fake performance, improves the safety of refined petroleum transportation, and realizes the purpose of anti-stolen effect.
Different colors distinguish of seals: the seals of dispatching vehicle and returning vehicle to gas station adopt different colors and with different marks to make the distinguish. Different colors of seals can directly identify the dispatching units of seals, and can check the marks according to color, which can greatly improve the anti-fake performance of seals.
Different serial numbers distinguish of seals:
each province or area has unique serial number to prevent the confusion of seals. Different use of seals can further improve seals management, increase duplicate difficulty and improve the safety of refined petroleum transportation. Security seals record check: make record at each time use of seals to check. Before leaving gas station or petroleum warehouse, security seals must be confirmed of finish. And make record of seals serial number and vehicle number, and verify after arriving at destination. Barcode check: mainly depend on serial number and basing on barcode when checking seals to make the distinguish of anti-fake cable seals.
Barcode Wire Seal
Barcode has the following features:
（1）High-density code, large information capacity: can account over 1850 letters or 2710 numbers or 1108 bytes or over 500 characters, which is higher dozens of information capacity comparing with common code.
（2）Wide coding range: this code can encode pictures, voices, characters, signatures and fingerprints which can be digited, and show by code; can display multi-language and characters; can display picture data.
（3）Strong fault-tolerant ability, have the function of error correction: QR code can correctly read when part is defected due to hole penetration or damage, and information can be recovered if damage area reaches 50%.
（4）High decrypt reliability
（5）Introduce encryption measure: conduct specific encryption treatment according to users requirement, other companies or personnel are unable to read or analyze seals coding information without the authorization of encryption or reading, which greatly improves anti-fake performance.

The aims of this study were 1) to evaluate the current pilot test method and ascertain reliable measurements for a standard test method of mobility with personal protective equipment (PPE), such as physical performance and balance ability tests; 2) to compare two participant groups (firefighters versus non-firefighters) and to investigate whether non-firefighters are appropriate as a standard participant group in the field of PPE or not. Totally, 18 participants (nine professional firefighters and nine untrained males) performed the current pilot test method consisting of a balance test, completed prior to and after a performance test. Significant differences were found between PPE conditions and CON (the control clothing ensemble: T-shirt, shorts, and running shoes) for the functional balance test, physical performance test, heart rate, and subjective evaluations in firefighters group. Therefore, the present pilot test method is valid as a standard test method for assessing mobility while wearing PPE. Moreover, the present result shows that firefighters are more reliable than non-firefighters in testing of PPE with current test methods.

AbstractA good deal of information regarding the synthesis and opto–electro-structural properties of thin films of lead chalcogenides have been revealed. The development of laser technology had opened up new application for narrow gap lead salts and their alloys. The polycrystalline thin films were deposited onto optically plane and chemically clean glass substrates by vacuum evaporation technique. The films were thin, uniform, smooth and tightly adherent to the substrates.Optical absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction technique and current–voltage characteristics method were used to characterize the films. The absorption coefficients and optical band gaps of films were determined by using FTIR spectrophotometer. The nature of sample, crystal structure and lattice parameters of films were found from X-ray diffractograms. The dc conductivities and activation energies of films were measured in temperature range 300–380K. Schottky junctions of PbS, PbSe and PbTe with indium metal were made. The barrier heights and ideality factors of these metal–semiconductor junctions were determined by using I–V characteristics.

William Murray – 2014. lfpb. 172p
This volume, first published in 1937, contains sketches of twenty-one of the 'Men' of Sutherland, together with short accounts of five of the ministers and two godly women. It gives us an insight into the power of godliness that prevailed in that county, especially during the 19th century. This reprint is undertaken to remind us of what God has done in the past in the Highlands and to stir us up to pray for the raising up of another godly generation in these spiritually barren days.
