learnyounode Lesson 12 – HTTP Uppercase
For this lesson we need to create an HTTP server that only accepts POST requests. The POST body should be converted to an uppercase string and returned to the client via the server response. Like the previous lessons, the server should listen on the port provided as the first argument to the program (process.argv[2]).
In the previous lesson we learned a little bit about piping and streaming. Although it is not required, the use of the request and response streaming APIs will make this lesson much easier. In addition the, we can use node modules to help us, such as through2-map, which can be used to transform stream data.
My Solution
var http = require('http')
var map = require('through2-map')
var port = process.argv[2]
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
 // check to see if request method is POST
 if (request.method === 'POST') {
 // write request status and content type to resposne head
 // stream request to through2-map with pipe()
 request.pipe(map(function (chunk) {
 // convert request to uppercase string
 return chunk.toString().toUpperCase()
 // stream result to response with pipe()
 } else {
 // write method not allowed error to response header if method not POST
}).listen(+port, function () {
 console.log('Server listening on http://localhost:%s', port)
In the solution above, we are assigning the http and through2-map modules to the variables http and map. We are also assigning the first argument to our program to the variable port.
Next, we a create a server and pass a callback function which accepts a request and response as arguments. Inside of our callback, we are checking to see if the method of the request (request.method) sent to our server is equal to POST. If it is, we are writing status 200 and the content type to the response head and piping the request to the map() method.
The map() method is passed a callback which accepts chunk as an argument. Inside of this callback are returning the value of our chuck, which is converted to an uppercase string with the toString() and toUpperCase() methods. Then we are pining the returned value to the response with the pipe() method.
If the request method is not equal to POST, we are writing status 405 to the response head. Error code 405 is the error code used if a method is not allowed, such as GET.
Finally, we are listening for the port passed as the first argument to the program, coercing the port to a number using the unary + operator, and logging the server location to the console.
For comparison, the official solution is pasted below.
Official Solution
var http = require('http')
var map = require('through2-map')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
 if (req.method!= 'POST')
 return res.end('send me a POST\n')
 req.pipe(map(function (chunk) {
 return chunk.toString().toUpperCase()

Evaluation of calf muscle reflex control in the 'ankle strategy' during upright standing push-recovery
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
Revealing human internal control mechanisms during environmental interaction remains paramount and helpful in solving issues related to human-robot interaction. Muscle reflexes, which can directly and rapidly modify the dynamic behavior of joints, are the fundamental control loops of the Central Nervous System. This study investigates the calf muscle reflex control in the "ankle strategy" for human push-recovery movement. A time-increasing searching method is proposed to evaluate the feasibility of the reflex model in terms of predicting real muscle activations. Constraints with physiological implications are imposed to find the appropriate reflex gains. The experimental results show that the reflex model fits over 90% of the forepart of muscle activation. With the increasing of time, the Variance Accounted For (VAF) values drop to below 80% and reflex gains lose the physiology meaning. By dividing the muscle activation into two parts, the reflex formula is still workable for the rest part, with different gains and lower VAF values. This result may indicate that reflex control could more likely dominate the forepart of the push-recovery motion and an analogous control mechanism is still feasible for the rest of the motion part, with different gains. The proposed method provides an alternative way to obtain the human internal control mechanism desired for human-robot interaction task.

How Many 4 Digit Numbers Are There?
How many 4 digit numbers can be formed using 4 digits?
256Finally there are 4 choices for the last digit so the number of possible 4 digit numbers is 4 4 4 = 256..
How many 6 digit numbers are there in all?
How many 5 digit numbers are there in all?
90,000 fiveThere are 5 digits (any number from 0-9) in a 5-digit number. There are 90,000 five digit numbers in all.
What is the most common 4 digit code?
How many numbers can be formed with 10 digits?
8,999,999,999well all the values between : 1,000,000,000 and 9,999,999,999 are 10 digit numbers. so that is a total of: 8,999,999,999 distinct 10 digit numbers. You say using only the digits 0 to 9 – since that includes ALL possible decimal digits – the answer is as above.
How many 4 digit palindromes are there?
{101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, 161, 171, 181, 191, …, 909, 919, 929, 939, 949, 959, 969, 979, 989, 999} There are likewise 90 palindromic numbers with four digits (again, 9 choices for the first digit multiplied by ten choices for the second digit.
How many 4 digit numbers can be formed with the 10 digits?
There are 9 ways to pick the first digit (1 through 9), there are 10 ways to pick the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digits, so that 9 10 10 10 = 9000 ways.
How many four digit numbers can be formed using 7 5 0 2 only once in a Number?
2) A digit can be used only once. 3) To form a n-digit number, possible numbers would be n!. 4) Hence, the answer would be 4! = 24.
What is the longest word that is the same backwards?
The longest known palindromic word is saippuakivikauppias (19 letters), which is Finnish for a dealer in lye (caustic soda). A palindrome is a word or phrase where the letters read backwards, give the same word or phrase, eg: the phrase 'Madam I'm Adam', with the reply 'Eve'.
Is 69 a palindrome?
Answer: NO, so that means the number 69 is not a palindrome!
How many 4 digit combinations are there with 10 numbers?
10 000For each choice of the first two digits you have 10 choices for the third digit. Thus you have 10x10x10 = 1000 choices for the first three digits. Finally you have 10 choices for the fourth digit and thus there are 10x10x10x10 = 10 000 possible 4 digit combinations from 0-9.
Which is the smallest 4 digit number with no digit repeated?
1023Smallest 4 digit number in which no digit is repeated is => 1023.
How long does it take to crack a 4 digit PIN?
How many 4 digit numbers are there with no digit repeated?
What is the most secure 4 digit code?
8068The safest 4-digit PIN is '8068' — or at least it was, until researchers at Data Genetics told everyone this week. The researchers there went through a set of 3.4 million four-digit personal identification numbers and found "8068" came up only 25 times.
Can palindromes be even?
A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards as backwards. It is often convenient to think of two kinds of palindromes separately: … Even-length palindromes: These have a "first half" whose reverse is the second half.

Simon Shubnell, CEO and co-founder of VePa, and his business partner have taken on vertical parking for electric vehicles.
VePa's clients include municipalities, cities, developers and people who want to use their free space wisely. VePa itself begins with various stages of expansion and initially focuses on projects in urban areas to test its own concept in practice. The most popular are vertical parking towers, accommodating up to 12 cars. These towers cover an area of just two parking spaces and accommodate cars at a height of about 16 meters.
In addition to the optimal use of space, VePa Towers contribute to the achievement of climate goals and create the necessary living space. Compared to classic underground car parks, the VePa solution is 98% more environmentally friendly, according to the Technical University of Munich. In addition, an area of about 300 m² of the tower can be used for landscaping the facade or for the future installation of photovoltaic modules that will supply part of the energy needed by the VePa tower.
However, the required energy, which is used for wall boxes up to 22 kW, must come from another source. Green electricity will be used here to meet the idea of sustainable development. The pop-up tower principle is also stable. By the end of the year, the company intends to present a solution that can be spontaneously used at exhibitions, events, etc.

13: The dreaded double hybrid
Mr and Mrs Mouse both had one copy of each allele for teeth (one normal copy, one vampire fangs copy). In that sense, they were hybrids for the vampire allele. Well, they are also hybrids for the fur allele  one copy of the fluffy fur allele, and one copy of the wiry fur allele. (And let's assume that fluffy fur is a recessive trait, like vampire fangs).
Now there are two pairs of alleles in the mother's genotype. One allele pair has the vampire/non-vampire teeth. The other pair has flat/fluffy fur. But each egg gets only 1 allele from each of the pairs. So across the top of the Punnett Square, where we list all possible kinds of eggs, we have to list all possible combinations of one-allele-from-each-pair. This is just like the possible combinations of heads and tails on two coin flips:
The father has the same two allele pairs. To make a baby, Mr Mouse flips his two coins, and Mrs Mouse flips her two. We can make a Punnett Square to help us figure out what their babies should look like.
I am guessing you have already seen this kind of Punnett Square in your lecture or your textbook or both. If you already understand how it works and can reproduce it on your own, you could skip this page. If not, do not look up how to do a Punnett Square. I will ask you some leading questions, but the idea is for you to figure it out, then you won't need to memorise it or look it up.
As you know by now, the top needs to list all of Mum's possible egg types (her 'menu' of choices). How many: (1) all dominant ("normal") egg, (2) fangs with normal fur, (3) fluffy fur with normal teeth, (4) fangs and fluffy fur, are there? So that makes a 'menu' of four choices. Likewise for Dad.
1. Put Mum's egg choices along the top. Put Dad's sperm choices down the side. (Put the teeth gene first and the fur gene second).
2. That was the hard part. Now that we have the borders of the table done, you can fill in the middle. Each square represents 1 baby, and each baby is going to get one fur and one teeth allele from Mum, and one fur and one teeth allele from Dad. List all four alleles for each box. This gives you the genotype.
3. Now look at each box. Using the dominance rule, what should each baby look like (i.e. what is its phenotype)?
If you followed these steps faithfully, you should end up with 9 normal
babies, 3 with fluff, 3 with fangs, and 1 fluffy vampire (poor kid!)
This is the famous 9:3:3:1 ratio for a dihybrid cross.

BACKGROUND. Children treated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts to manage hydrocephalus frequently develop shunt failure and/or infections, conditions that present with overlapping symptoms. The potential life-threatening nature of shunt infections requires rapid diagnosis; however, traditional microbiology is time consuming, expensive, and potentially unreliable. We set out to identify a biomarker that would identify shunt infection.
METHODS. CSF was assayed for the soluble membrane attack complex (sMAC) by ELISA in patients with suspected shunt failure or infection. CSF was obtained at the time of initial surgical intervention. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic potential of sMAC in pyogenic-infected versus noninfected patients.
RESULTS. Children with pyogenic shunt infection had significantly increased sMAC levels compared with noninfected patients (3,211 ± 1,111 ng/ml vs. 26 ± 3.8 ng/ml,
CONCLUSION. Elevated CSF sMAC levels are both sensitive and specific for diagnosing pyogenic shunt infection and may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker during recovery from infection.
FUNDING. This work was supported in part by the Impact Fund of Children's of Alabama.

Evaluation of The Number of Rainy Days Observed for Long Years Due to Global Climate Change in Nevşehir /Turkey
Keywords:Number of Rainy Days, Global Climate Change, Nevsehir province, Turkey
In this research caried out Nevsehir province, Avanos and Ürgüp districts of Turkey's Central Anatolia Nevsehir. In the study, it is aimed to reveal the trends of years by changing the number of long year total rainy days by Mann Kendall and Sperman's Rho correlation tests. Within the scope of the study, 34 years long total monthly rainy days data between _PHONE_, which were obtained from automatic meteorology stations, were evaluated. According to the results of the trend analysis, the average total number of rainy days in Nevşehir province was 77 days minimum, the maximum number of rainy days was 142 days, and the average of the average number of rainy days was 109 days. In Avanos district, the average number of rainy days for a long time was 57 days, and the maximum number of rainy days was 129 days, while the average of the number of rainy days for long years was 89 days. In Ürgüp district, the average number of rainy days for a long time was 65 days, the maximum number of rainy days was 129 days, and the average of the number of rainy days for long years was 95 days. As a result, considering the number of long year rainy days, it is concluded that there is no significant trend in Nevşehir province, Avanos and Ürgüp district stations.

The preferred management option for the municipal solid waste bottom ash (MSW-BA) around the world is utilization rather than landfilling, but the current environmental quality criteria for bottom ash to be utilized in bulk quantities are rather strict. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the physical and environmental properties of asphalt mixtures containing different amounts of MSW-BA used as an aggregate substitute. The Marshall mix design method, water sensitivity, and wheel track rutting tests were conducted on MSW-BA asphalt mixtures to evaluate the engineering properties of the mix. Leach tests were performed to measure the concentration of heavy metals. The MSW-BA asphalt mixture had relatively lower rutting resistance when compared with the conventional one. The results of the water sensitivity test showed that the MSW-BA asphalt mixtures had a lower tensile strength ratio compared with the conventional asphalt mixtures. It is recommended that the use of the MSW-BA ash in asphalt concrete mixtures be limited to be 20% ash, by total weight of the mix, in binder or base course and 10% in surface mix to ensure satisfactory pavement performance. The test results obtained from the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure testing indicated that, after being mixed with asphalt binder, the concentration of heavy metals and the levels of toxicity were significantly reduced. The concentrations of MSW-BA all along were below regulation limits.

The early years
The origins of Coats can be traced to the families that created the weaving and textile industries of Paisley, Scotland during the late 18th century.
- Henry Milward established needle manufacture at Redditch, UK and hand sewing begins to flourish
- James and Patrick Clark move to the thriving town of Paisley, Scotland as young boys to begin work in the weaving trade
- The Clarks will eventually set up a business in Cotton Street making thread for use in 'heddles', which were an integral part of weaving looms at the time
- James Coats born in 1774 to a family of Paisley weavers. The early part of his life was spent serving in the British Army before returning to Paisley to marry and set himself up in business in the early 1800s

Laws governing local ballot measures in Colorado
This article sets out the laws governing local ballot measures in Colorado. It explains:
- Which local units of government make the initiative process available to residents.
- How and whether local units of government, including school districts, can refer local ballot measures (such as school bond propositions) to the ballot.
- An overview of laws governing local recall elections.
Types of local government
The U.S. Census Bureau's 2012 study of local governments shows that, as of September of 2012, local government in Colorado consists of:
333 General Purpose units, including:
- 64 Counties (including the consolidated city-counties of Denver and Broomfield which are listed by the U.S. Census Bureau as city governments)
- 271 Cities and towns
2485 Special Purpose units, including:
- 2305 Special Districts
- 180 Independent School Districts
Counties may be:
- General law: of which there are 60
- Home rule charter: of which there are 2 (Weld and Pitkin County)
Cities and towns may be:
- General law: of which there are 172
- Home rule charter (if over 2,000 in population): of which there are 96
- Consolidated City and County: 2 (Denver and Broomfield)
- There is also 1 remaining territorial charter municipality (Georgetown)
Colorado has two different types of ballot measures that are required under two different laws. The first is the Taxpayer Bill of Rights from 1992, which became Section 20 of Article 10 of the Colorado Constitution. Under TABOR, local voter approval is required if the school district wants to exceed its tax levy above the normal rate of inflation set by the consumer price index. The second law is the School Finance Act of 1994. Under the act, voter approval is required when a school district wants to exceed the limit for raising its Total Program Budget. The Total Program Budget is a combined budget that includes the district's general fund, special education and other costs. A school district that wants to exceed the previous year's Total Program Budget by more than 125% must put a plan before the voters. This type of ballot measure has rarely been used; it is considered to be a last resort option. Colorado law imposes limits on when school districts can hold special elections. Colorado only allows special elections in even numbered years on pre-established general and primary election days in May and November. In odd-numbered years, special school district elections can only occur on the first Tuesday in November. School districts that want to exceed their TABOR limit can sometimes combine this request with a city TABOR request.

Initiative process availability
|A guide to local ballot initiatives|
An initiative process is available in all cities and towns. In charter cities, initiative is also available for charter amendments.
In charter counties (Weld and Pitkin) initiative is available for county measures and charter amendments.
Citizens in general law counties do not have broad initiative authority to propose county measures. However, specific state statutes grant a petition process for limited subject matters. For example:
- Recall of county elected officials, C.R.S. §1-12-103 & 104; Formation of a home rule charter committee, C.R.S. §30-11-502(1) et seq.; Increasing the number of county commissioners from three to five (in counties having a population greater than 70,000), C.R.S. §30-10-306.5(3)(a); Decreasing the number of county commissioners from five to three (in counties having a population greater than 70,000), C.R.S. §30-10-306.7 (2)(b); Enacting a countywide sales tax ordinance, C.R.S. §29-2-104; Establishment of a county library, C.R.S. §24-90-107(1),(3); Establishment of public improvement district (PID) or a local improvement district (LID), C.R.S. §30-20-501 et seq. and C.R.S. §30-20-601 et seq., respectively; Establishment of various districts, C.R.S. §30-20-801 et seq.
Colorado Constitution, Article V, Section 1(9) reserves the initiative and referendum powers to the registered electors of every city, town and municipality.
|"||(9) The initiative and referendum powers reserved to the people by this section are hereby further reserved to the registered electors of every city, town, and municipality as to all local, special, and municipal legislation of every character in or for their respective municipalities. The manner of exercising said powers shall be prescribed by general laws; except that cities, towns, and municipalities may provide for the manner of exercising the initiative and referendum powers as to their municipal legislation. Not more than ten percent of the registered electors may be required to order the referendum, nor more than fifteen per cent to propose any measure by the initiative in any city, town, or municipality.||"|
Colorado Constitution, Article XX authorizes cities and towns over 2,000 in population to adopt a home rule charter and grants initiative for charter amendments.
Cities and towns: Colorado Revised Statutes Title 31, Art. 11, prescribes the initiative process, but cities are allowed to alter certain requirements such as different filing deadlines and signature percentages, subject to the Constitutional signature percentage limits.
C.R.S. 31-2-212 states that home rule charters must have provisions for initiative. Charter cities often reference or mirror the process in the state statues, but may alter some requirements. C.R.S. 31-2-210 governs the process for charter amendments.
Counties C.R.S. 30-11-103.5 governs petitions in general law counties for matters authorized by law.
C.R.S. 30-11-506 mandates a process for initiative for charter county charter amendments.
C.R.S. 30-11-508 mandates that charter counties (Weld and Pitkin) have an initiative process for county measures.

Anthurium Veitchii Care
The higher the humidity, the happier an Anthurium plant.
Place your Anthurium Veitchii in a warm, well-lit spot. The more light the plant receives, the more it will grow, but never expose it to direct sunlight.
Anthurium Veitchii plants prefer temperatures 75 °F-85 °F (23.9 °C-29.4 °C) during the day and about 10 ° cooler at night. Temperatures below 50 °F (10 °C) slow the growth of leaves and flowers.
Water your Anthurium Veitchii when the top 25% of soil is dry. Your Anthurium Veitchii prefers a consistent watering schedule.
Use a balanced fertilizer or one a little higher in nitrogen for Anthurium plants. Feed monthly in the spring and summer, when Anthurium Veitchii plants are actively growing. Dilute the plant food to one-third the recommended strength.


Dog Found Breastfeeding A Starving Abandoned Child
 YouTube/QueOpinaChileTV
The remarkable instincts of a sweet dog are being credited for helping to save the life of a young child who had been abandoned by his mother.
The 2-year-old boy was rescued last week in the Chilean village of Arica, half-clothed and in a dangerous state of malnutrition. It's unclear how long he had been left to fend for himself, but despite being deserted by his parent, the child was not completely without maternal attention.
Incredibly, the boy was discovered being cared for by a neighborhood pet, named Reina. The dog, who is pregnant with a litter of puppies, had evidently taken the starving child in as her own, nursing him with her life-giving milk, reports Estrella de Arica.
"Police were called to verify the witness's report, noting the obvious state of malnutrition of the child and verifying that he was drinking milk from a canine that was in the area, so he was moved immediately to a hospital," police captain Diego Gajardo told the paper.
According to the Associated Press, the boy was treated and later released into the custody of child services.

While Reina's actions on behalf of the child are truly remarkable, similar stories of animals breastfeeding starving children are not unheard of. Perhaps the best-known instance of this stems from ancient mythology in the story of Romulus and Remus, traditionally cited as the founders of Rome.
According to legend, the twin boys were on the verge of death after being abandoned by their mother in infancy, only to be rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them.

Yucun Impressions Young Library / SJTU School of Design – Du Chunyu team
Text description provided by the architects. Yucun Impression Youth Library is located in Anjiyu Village, Zhejiang, the birthplace of the "two mountains" concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". The two preserved factory buildings bear witness to the green development path of Yucun from "industrial birds" to "ecological pastoral". The project was officially completed in June 2022. After its opening, the Yucun Impression Youth Library integrates multiple functions to become the most dynamic and creative rural place.
"Yucun Impression" reactivates the rural industrial heritage buildings and reintegrates them into the industrial development of rural areas in the ecological era with the memory of the industrial era, so as to show the open and inclusive development attitude of China's rural areas under the background of rural revitalization strategy. Yucun's global partner program has attracted more young entrepreneurs to join, bringing cultural collision to the countryside, which also makes rural public buildings need to have more complex functions and more inclusive cultural values.
The renewal of the building focuses on the continuation of the collective memory of the region, starting from the pastoral construction of memory places, using the crops planted on the site to replicate the texture of the original factory building, Tian Wei Road continues the transportation road of the past factory building, people look for the memory of the former factory building on Tian Wei Road, and read the past of Yucun.
The building adopts the renewal strategy of "combining warranty and use", which retains the original memory of the building's volume and window opening method, and the enclosure of the upper part of the building is opened, making the building more permeable and interpenetrating with the green mountains and green water. Combined with localized innovative Bamboo mold concrete materials and hairy bamboo enclosure, it completes the collective memory penetration from the site to the building.
The interior of the building creates a continuous and open public space, breaking the single function of the traditional rural bookstore and improving the composite use of the internal space. And increase the sunken courtyard and excavate the use value of the building. In order to connect the two isolated buildings, a two-story corridor was added to the design, and finally, the construction of the three-dimensional circulation line was completed, so that the overall connection between the building and the environment was established. The impact of the site height difference on the building is resolved. Finally, the renovated building becomes a rural cultural place integrating reading, exhibition, and release, which can be shared by villagers, new youth, and tourists.
Yucun Impression has tried various low-carbon materials and technologies to achieve carbon neutrality in rural buildings and explored carbon-neutral technologies for practical buildings in rural areas through practice.

Plant type: HABITAT
A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism. The term typically refers to the zone in which the organism lives and where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.
Subcategory: upland

Fact:
All animals and plants are given a species name based on a technical term in biological taxnomy. The species name consists of two words and is based on Latin.

First, you want to retrieve both webpages. You can use wget, urlretrieve, etc.:
wget Vs urlretrieve of python
Second, you want to "compare" the pages. You can use a "diff" tool as Chinmay noted. You can also do a keyword analysis of the two pages:
 1. Parse all keywords from page. e.g. How do I extract keywords used in text?
 2. Optionally take the "stem" of the words with something like:
 3. Use some math to compare the two pages' keywords, e.g. term frequency–inverse document frequency: _URL_ with some of the python tools out there like these: _URL_

What do you mean by compare? If you just want to find the differences between two files, try difflib, which is part of the standard Python library.

Exploring and Explaining Determinants of Supply and Demand: Utilizing the Think-Pair-Share Technique
and is replicated here as part of the SERC Pedagogic Service.
This activity is an extension of the Think-Pair-Share cooperative learning technique. Students are put into pairs and then each pair is assigned one of the determinants of supply or demand. Each pair then concentrates on understanding this determinant by first creating hypothetical examples and then identifying real world examples. Each pair is responsible for presenting and explaining one of these hypothetical and real world examples to the rest of the class. Which student within a pair makes each presentation is determined by a coin toss immediately prior to the presentation. Students are required to submit a clear written explanation and a graphical analysis of their examples.
The content objective is for students to describe, locate and interpret the determinants of supply and demand by creating and identifying hypothetical and real world examples.
Context for Use
Description and Teaching Materials
For the first part of this activity, the students are told to create a hypothetical example of their assigned determinant. They should generate a scenario where supply or demand shifts in some direction, and then illustrate the resulting effect on price and quantity in the relevant market. Students should first be given a few minutes to think and create their own example. Then they should pair with their partner and share their examples with each other.
Within the pair, one student should initially share his or her example with the other student, while the other student listens and then reflects on the example. A subsequent discussion should follow where the listener asks for clarification or makes suggestions for improving the example until both students are confident that the example is clear and accurate. Next, the roles are reversed and the other student's hypothetical example is shared and refined. The students should prepare a clear written explanation and a graphical analysis of their revised examples to be collected at the end of class.
Finally, each pair of students should select one of the two examples that they will present to the rest of the class. A coin toss will be used to determine which one of the students in a pair will present the example. Since it is random who will actually present the example, each student in the pair needs to be knowledgeable of this example and prepared to present.
For the second part of this activity, the students are instructed to find real world examples of their assigned determinant. This could be found in a newspaper article, magazine, or through interviewing a business owner or consumer. The students have one week to locate this real world example before bringing it to class to share with their partners. Each pair should follow the same process as described above, with each student taking turns sharing his or her example and then refining the analysis of each example. Again, each pair should select one of the two examples to present to the rest of the class, and who presents the example will be determined by a coin toss. However, all students should prepare a clear written explanation and a graphical analysis of their revised examples to be collected at the end of the activity.
A list of supply and demand determinants and a student handout with detailed instructions for both parts of this activity are included here.
List of supply and demand determinants (Microsoft Word 27kB Mar30 09)
Student handout with instructions for examples (Microsoft Word 33kB Mar30 09)
Teaching Notes and Tips
This activity is also flexible in terms of how you decide to select student pairs. You may allow them to pair up with a student sitting nearby as described, or you may decide to use another method such as arbitrarily counting off in class or pre-assigning pairs using an alphabetized class roster.
Before the students begin, you may wish to provide a hypothetical and/or real world example and walk them through how to do the graphical analysis (see Student handout with instructions for examples).
You may have students who bring in articles that do not deal with a change in one of the supply or demand determinants in a market. This may happen if, for example, students search for the word income and then find an article about gross national income. Use this as a teachable moment to illustrate that identifying the correct context in an article is as important as finding the assigned term.
If your class time is limited, you can choose only a few of the pairs to present their examples to the class rather than having every pair present. You should choose the determinants that tend to be more difficult for the student presentations. Tell students that it is random who will present so they will all prepare.
If some pairs finish before the rest of the pairs are ready, have them add an extension to their example using another determinant of supply or demand. For example, if a pair assigned the demand determinant of income finishes early you can instruct these students to add a change in one of the determinants of supply to their example. This allows them to continue the learning process rather than simply waiting for the others to finish.
Further, the examples presented by the students (or variations of these examples) can be incorporated into regular exams/quizzes. This ensures that students realize that they will be assessed on their understanding of all the determinants of supply and demand (not only their assigned determinant).

Potential Project Description for 2012-13
Title: Yield models in college admissions
Domain Expert: (Admissions)
Accurately forecasting yield (the percentage of admitted applicants who enroll) is an important yet challenging part of a college's admissions process. Having a reliable yield model helps a college decide on the optimal number and composition of students to admit; admitting too few students can lead to financial pressures, while admitting too many students can lead to pressures on class size and housing. The St. Olaf Office of Admissions is interested in evaluating and potentially improving its current yield models for admitted students. The probability that a particular admitted student enrolls at St. Olaf will vary by individual, but a healthy amount of data is available for each student who applies – from test scores to extracurricular activities to high school attended to financial aid and much more – that can be used to create a yield model. In addition, the effects of individual characteristics on probability of enrollment will be of interest to Admissions staff. Data on enrolled students can also be used to determine predictors of success in a student's first semester at St. Olaf.

Abstract
A new approach to robot path planning using hyperboloid potential functions is presented in this paper. Unlike parabolic potential functions, where the control force increases with distance from the goal and is unbound, and conic potential functions where a singularity occurs at the goal, hyperboloid potential functions avoid both these drawbacks. However, they do combine the advantages of both parabolic and conic potentials as the asymptotic property of the hyperbolic function ensures bounded control forces, while stability and smooth contact are guaranteed at the goal point.

This document presents a roadmap for developing sport and physical activity among Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway is a reference for those who work with Indigenous participants in sport and recreation. It has grown out of the understanding that mainstream models for sport development do not necessarily align with Indigenous needs or experiences. As such, this document tries to address that gap by outlining the key elements that need to be considered when planning, developing, and implementing programs for and with Indigenous peoples and communities.

Lynne Lofman's great grandfather helped construct the Rockland Breakwater when it was built at the turn of the century.
The resident of the Methodist Conference Home shared stories about her great grandfather who emigrated from Canada to help construct the landmark with Ali Godfrey, a junior at Oceanside High School.
Godfrey interviewed Lofman as part of an innovative new program between Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) and the Methodist Conference Home. Student were paired with seniors who they meet with weekly to research area landmarks and compare how they had changed over the decades.
At the end of the Then and Now project, students made a presentation about what they learned to all the residents of the Methodist Conference Homes.
"I loved this project since because there were so many benefits for both sides," said Scott Browning, a JMG specialist that worked with Oceanside students.
Seniors were able to share their knowledge and students got an opportunity to interact with people out in the community, he explained.
Not only did students learn valuable interviewing and presentation skills, they established a connection with a senior who they looked forward to seeing each week. "By the end of the project the students came away feeling like they had made a difference – that they had helped brightened someone else's day," he said.
"Seniors liked interacting with students, and the opportunity to share their firsthand experience," said Katie Tarbox, the activities director for MCH.
The two groups hope to continue meeting in 2015 for other projects.

When you're planning a visit to Bath, you'll want to visit some of its many museums. There are the museums and galleries that you might expect, a few more unusual, and a surprising number of small museums… Here are some of the most important museums of Bath.
The Roman Baths Museum
The Roman Baths, where 18th century visitors took the waters, are a reminder of the city's importance long before fashionable visitors started to arrive in the Georgian era. The museum attached to the baths is an extensive exploration of the Roman city, including bathing areas, temples and artefacts recovered during archaeological excavations.
Art Museums In Bath
Victoria Art Gallery
Art lovers should start with the Victoria Art Gallery, housed in a purpose-built Victorian building beside the Pulteney Bridge. It contains more than 1,500 artworks, with an extensive British collection including paintings by Thomas Gainsborough and Walter Sickert.
The Holburne Museum is the oldest museum in Bath. It is home to a private collection with 18th century art and artefacts, and much more. There is a regular programme of special exhibitions.
Museums Of Georgian Bath
Jane Austen Centre
Jane Austen, who briefly lived in Bath and featured the city in her novels, is one of the city's most famous figures. The Jane Austen Centre, in a house with period furnishings on Gay Street, is devoted to her life and work. Visit to get an understanding of how Bath influenced her writings, before exploring some of the places frequented by her heroes and heroines.
Read more about the Jane Austen Centre and the places associated with her books – Where To Find Jane Austen In Bath.
Assembly Rooms And Fashion Museum
The Assembly Rooms were a popular meeting place in Jane Austen's time, and are still used for events today. You can look around the rooms themselves before visiting the Fashion Museum in the basement. Here you can see how people (mostly the upper classes) dressed through the ages.
No 1 Royal Crescent, Georgian Garden And The Pump Room
To get an idea of how high society lived in Georgian times pay a visit to No 1 Royal Crescent. This is a house that has been furnished and decorated as it might have been in the 18th century.
Of course, gardens were an important part of domestic architecture, and you can also walk around the Georgian Garden at the rear of No 4 The Circus.
The Pump Room, beside the Roman Baths, is not exactly a museum, but it can certainly give you a flavour of Georgian Bath. This was where fashionable people once came to drink the spa water – today you can stop for lunch or afternoon tea, and you can even try a glass of the water for yourself.
Specialist Museums Of Bath
There are numerous small and specialist museums in Bath.
American Museum And Gardens
Around 5 km from the city centre is the American Museum and Gardens. This showcases American history and folk art (including lots of lovely quilts), and the gardens have spectacular views.
Old Theatre Royal and Masonic Hall
One of my favourites has to be the rather quirky Old Theatre Royal and Masonic Hall. This is a former theatre that became a chapel and burial place before becoming a masonic lodge. It is still a masonic hall today, but it is also a museum – the building itself being the main exhibit!
Read more – Old Theatre Royal And Masonic Hall.
Museum Of Bath Architecture
So far as architecture is concerned, you could almost regard the city itself as a sort of outdoor museum! But once you are ready to learn more, the Museum of Bath Architecture is an excellent exploration of the design and construction of Georgian buildings. (Note that as at March 2022 the museum is closed: it is hoped it will reopen before too long.)
Museum Of East Asian Art
The Museum of East Asian Art is a small, family-friendly, collection of artefacts spanning 7,000 years.
The Herschel Museum of Astronomy was the home of William Herschel and his sister Caroline, and it was here that William first observed the planet Uranus. The museum is devoted to the Herschels' work, both astronomical and musical.
Museum Of Bath At Work
Finally, there is the very interesting Museum of Bath at Work. Housed in a former real tennis court that later became a factory, it has all sorts of exhibits about local industry, people and more…

Bacteria Change Behavior to Tackle Tiny Obstacle Course
May 21, 2019
It's not exactly the set of TV's "American Ninja Warrior," but a tiny obstacle course for bacteria has shown researchers how E. coli changes its behavior to rapidly clear obstructions to food. Their work holds implications for not only biology and medicine, but also robotic search-and-rescue tactics.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that the well-known "swim and tumble" behavior that bacteria use to move toward food or away from poisons changes when bacteria encounter obstacles.
"In the real world, they always encounter lots of obstacles," said Ziv Bar-Joseph, a professor in CMU's Computational Biology and Machine Learning departments. E. coli, for instance, inhabits the complicated terrain of the gastrointestinal tract. Yet previous studies of chemotaxis -- the way bacteria move toward a higher concentration of food or away from concentrations of poisons -- generally have been done in unobstructed chambers.
Existing models of chemotaxis predict that obstacles will slow the progress of bacteria. So the researchers designed microfluidic chambers -- just 10 micrometers high, one millimeter wide and one millimeter long -- and placed evenly distributed square and round obstacles in them. When they tested E. coli inside these tiny obstacle courses, they were surprised at the speed at which the bacteria found a food source.
"Almost regardless of the obstacles, they got to the food almost as quickly as they did without obstacles," said Sabrina Rashid, a CMU PhD student in computational biology and the lead author on the study. "The obstacles were not affecting the time they needed to reach food, as the previous models predicted."
Bacteria are known to communicate with each other by secreting chemicals, and this sort of communication no doubt informs bacteria as they try to get around an obstacle, she said. But a closer look at the bacteria also showed a change in behavior.
Normally, bacteria swim a bit, then perform a circular dance, called tumbling, to reorient themselves regarding food concentrations. The tumbling slows progress toward food, but importantly enables bacteria to make course corrections.
The researchers suspected that a key reason for the improvement in speed when facing obstacles is the bacteria's ability to tumble less and swim more until they are in the clear. So they designed additional experiments that tracked individual bacteria cells and confirmed these predictions.
Given the importance of cell movement in biology, the new findings could have implications for how malignant cells spread through the body or how infections might be treated, Bar-Joseph said.
Based on these findings the researchers have developed their own chemotaxis model to account for this new behavior and better predict the performance of bacteria. Applying the model to simulations of teams, or swarms, of robots performing searches for trapped victims in emergencies has shown that this approach can reduce their search time as well.
"Any type of insight we can get from biology to improve computation is important to us," Bar-Joseph added.
In addition to Bar-Joseph and Rashid, the research team at CMU included Shashank Singh, a PhD student in machine learning and statistics. At Pitt, Hanna Salman, associate professor of physics and astronomy, and Zoltan Oltvai, associate professor of pathology, were joined by Zicheng Long, a post-doctoral researcher in Salman's lab, and Maryam Kohram and Harsh Vashistha, both Ph.D. students in physics. Saket Navlakha, an associate professor at the Salk Institute, completes the team.

Why South Koreans are two years older at home than they are abroad

People living in South Korea have two ages - but that could be set to change.
A politician in the ultra-modern Asian country is working to overturn a centuries-old tradition which sees babies become one-year-old on the day of their birth - and then get an additional year tacked on when the calendar hits January 1.
The move comes amid complaints the system is an anachronistic, time-wasting custom which drags down an otherwise forward thinking nation.
For parents whose babies are born in December, it can be especially painful.
One hour after his daughter's birth in the central city of Daejeon at 10pm on December 31 of last year, Lee Dong Kil posted the news on social media.

His friends immediately showered him with congratulatory messages.
"An hour later, when the new year began, they phoned me again to say congratulations for my baby becoming two years old," said Mr Lee, who is 32 internationally but 34 in South Korea.
"I thought, 'Ah, right. She's now two years old, though it's been only two hours since she was born. What the heck!'"
 - Why does South Korea use the strange age system?
The origins of the traditional age reckoning system are not clear.
Being one-year-old at birth may be linked to the time a baby spends in its mothers' womb or to an ancient Asian numerical system that did not have the concept of zero.
Becoming a year older on January 1 is even harder to explain.
It could be that ancient Koreans cared a lot about the year in which they were born in the Chinese 60-year cycle but, without regular calendars, did not care much about the specific day they were born; so they mostly ignored the day of their birth and instead marked another year of age on the day of the Lunar New Year, according to senior curator Jung Yonhak, at the National Folk Museum of Korea.
This may have then shifted to the solar new year on January 1 as the South began embracing the Western calendar.
 - Is South Korea the only country to use the system?
South Koreans use the system in daily life - including when it comes to dating. Credit: AP
Perhaps unsurprisingly, yes.
Neighbouring North Korea uses the Western age calculating system, but they have a twist: they follow their own calendar based on the birth of national founder and president-for-life Kim Il Sung.
The year of your birth is still incredibly important in South Korea and lumps linked children together for life, for example through education.
Other Asian countries, including Japan and Vietnam, abandoned the Chinese-style age system amid an influx of Western culture.
Officially, South Korea has used Western-style calculations since the early 1960s.
But its citizens still embrace the old-fashioned system in their daily lives because the government has done little to get people to change over to the Western style.
Most South Koreans are simply accustomed to living with two ages.

 - How do people celebrate the anniversary of their birth?
People do not hold massive joint birthday parties on New Year's Day; they just celebrate their birthday on the days they were born.
Young people consider themselves another year old on solar New Year's Day (January 1) while older people often use the Lunar New Year's Day.
Many family restaurants do not charge babies if they are 36 months old or younger, so parents often calculate their babies' ages under the Western method when they are dining out.
Some South Koreans still worry that the practice makes their nation look odd on the international stage.

 - What does it mean for people from abroad?
Many foreign journalists in Seoul ask Koreans what year and month they were born to calculate their Western age for news stories.
There are also some who say the concept of "Korean age" encourages a fixation on age-based social standing in this seniority-based country.
In South Korea, those born in the same year often treat each other as equals, while people must use honorific titles to address those born earlier, rather than directly using their names.
Ahn Chang-gun, from the south-eastern city of Gimhae, said he felt "empty" when his first child became two on January 1 2013, about two weeks after his wife delivered him after eight years of marriage.
"He was this precious baby that we finally had, but I felt that all of a sudden two years had just gone by and yet I hadn't done anything for my baby," said Mr Ahn.

Parents whose babies are born in December often worry about their children falling behind others born earlier in the same year, though worries gradually disappear as their children age.
When Seo Hyo Sun, from Buchon, just west of Seoul, was taken to hospital to get a caesarean section on December 29, she could not stop weeping because her baby's due date was supposed to be January 7.
"Tears kept flowing. … My doctor told me the baby wanted to come out today so let's just celebrate," said Ms Seo, 31 in international age.
"When I awoke from my anaesthesia, I felt really grateful … because my baby was born healthy. That was enough."
 - How is South Korea planning to change the age system?
In January, politician Hwang Ju-hong tabled a bill aimed at requiring the government to put international ages in official documents and encouraging citizens to go with their international ages in everyday life.
It is the first legislative attempt to abolish "Korean age".
"It is aimed at resolving confusion and inefficiency caused by the mixed use of age-counting systems," Hwang said in the proposed legislation.
Hwang's office said a parliamentary committee discussion and a public hearing on the issue are expected in coming months.

Surveys in recent years showed more South Koreans supported international age though it was not clear how seriously they wanted a change.
"If we use international age, things could get more complicated because it's a society that cares so much about which year you were born," said Lim KyoungJae, 46, head of the Seoul-based Miko Travel agency.
"We should also definitely count the time of a baby being conceived and growing in its mother's womb."
Mr Lim's employee Choi Min Kyung, who is 26 internationally and 28 in South Korea, disagreed.
"It's good to be two years younger … (especially) when you meet men" on blind dates, Ms Choi said with a laugh.
"There is a big difference between 26 and 28."

Remounted Diamonds Into White Gold
-Two sparkly diamond rings in yellow gold. They were to be changed into two new ring designs, this time in white gold mounts.
-Martin and our client's discussed different options, Martin drew a couple of sketches and the designs were decided. The diamonds were measured and this enabled us to provide exact costs to remount the stones into their new settings.
-The next step was to order the cast ring parts that would be used to create the new ring mounts.
-Once these arrived the diamonds were unset from their original settings and the old ring mounts were put to one side.
-Firstly the seven diamonds were set into the basic cast ring. Once set in to the surface, the setting edge and grain surround was created by Martin.
-Next the single stone diamond ring was assembled. The ready cast setting and twisted shank were soldered together after the shank wrap around had been adjusted to the correct angle and height. Then the diamond was set.
-At this stage our client came and tried on both rings to check the finger size was correct. They fitted perfectly.
-The final stage was to polish and rhodium both rings.

The EU's usage of political conditionality for democratization: An assessment for candidates and enp's southern partners
YILDIZ, Uğur Burç
MetadataShow full item record
This article, by applying the ratings of Freedom House, analyzes the effectiveness of the European Union's usage of political conditionality for the democratization of the former and current candidate countries, and Southern partner countries in the European Neighborhood Policy. Political conditionality is the European Union's main strategy to democratize candidate countries. Due to the effectiveness of European Union's political conditionality all former candidates were labeled by Freedom House as liberal democracies before starting accession negotiations with the European Union. The European Union's usage of political conditionality with current candidates has led to democratization of many practices, such as the protection of human rights, minority rights and different cultures. This success is mainly the result of the European Union's membership incentive and, in case of non-compliance, the possibility of high domestic costs for candidates. The European Union has also used political conditionality to democratize its Southern partner countries through its European Neighborhood Policy. However, due to the lack of a membership incentive and domestic costs for these countries, political conditionality has not led to democratization, as clearly shown in Freedom House ratings for these countries since the introduction of the European Neighborhood Policy in 2004.


text: Existing conceptual design methods mainly focus on component modeling and representation, which makes them insufficient to help in the conceptual design stage. Port ontology, as an approach to formally expressing product design, has been effectively applied to concept description of a product. An incidence matrix support for product conceptual design based on port ontology is given in this paper. It formally represents and organizes product information in both functional ontology and physical domain in a hierarchy. Port compatibilities are used to map and link the two components. This makes it possible to build incidence matrix and decompose it into an independence matrix, and allow designers from different backgrounds with various interests to access the design ontology. A multilevel matrix is constructed to generate principle schemes of products at different levels of abstraction, which facilitates design decision-making through the whole conceptual design stage. A case study is also given to demonstrate the proposed approach.

modules
Modules
Plum Fuse separates its modules into three categories:
Visual Indicators
 - 1. Barge-In Enabled
 - 2. Speech Recognition Enabled
 - 3. Private Enabled
Call-flow
'Call-flow' ( ) modules create the directional roadmap for a voice application (also called 'branching'). These modules determine the call-flow and workflow logic of an application and are what end-users pass through in order to reach input or data modules. If you think of the path that end-users follow through a call as a road, then the 'Call-flow' ( ) modules are the road signs that direct them where to go.
The 'Prompt' ( ) module does not perform any branching functions on its own, but it is grouped with the other 'Call-flow' ( ) modules because it provides critical context for workflow logic and is typically used in conjunction with other 'Call-flow' ( ) modules.
Module Name Description
Prompt A simple prompt
Transfer This module transfers the caller the a new desired phone number
Goto App Re-directs the call-flow to another Fuse application
Goto Page Re-directs the call-flow to another page within the current application
Compare Variable Compare variables and re-direct the call based on the result
Counter Give callers multiple chances to complete a task, then re-direct the call based on their response
Exit Disconnect the caller from the application
Call Log Add custom logging to your call logs
Label Sticky notes for annotating an application
Subdialog Re-directs the call-flow to an external VoiceXML application
Input
'Input' ( ) modules are used to collect information from end-users.
Each one of these modules obtains a piece of information from an end-user and stores it in a variable that can be acted upon later in the call.
Note: To meet PCI-DSS or HIPAA compliance, it is possible to make 'Input' ( ) modules private so that sensitive information is not retained after the call ends. See the module settings section for more information on the 'Private' setting.
Most of the errors 'Input' ( ) modules generate are either No Input or No Match. If users want to branch on these errors it is necessary to enable the 'Show Custom Errors' setting.
Module Name Description
Address Collect address information
Yes/No Re-direct a call based on a binary choice
Custom Field Create custom inputs
Date/Time Collect date or time information
Number Collect numeric values, either decimal or whole numbers
Digits Collect individual digit values
Language Set the active language for multi-language applications
Menu Multiple choice menu
Dynamic Menu Dynamic multiple choice menu
Name Collect an individual's name information
Record Collect a voice recording
Data
'Data' ( ) modules allows an application to act on data generated during a call or from an external source and brought into a call. These modules can manipulate data or send it somewhere else using JavaScript, REST or SOAP webservices, or Email.
The 'Call Recording' ( ) module is somewhat of an outlier here, as it tends to function as a flow control module, but because it creates data on its own, not through user input, it's grouped with the other 'Data' ( ) modules.
Module Name Description
Email Send an outbound email
Set Variable(s) Define variable(s) within the application
Call Recording Toggles call recording
Evaluate JS Executes JavaScript
REST Submit a REST webservice request
SOAP Submit a SOAP webservice request
Variables
Fuse has robust capabilities when dealing with variables. The title of each module in Fuse represents a variable that is created immediately after that module has executed.
Any text field that has a plus sign ( ) in the lower right-hand corner can be used to access a variable.
Once a variable is established in Fuse, it is available anywhere in the application. Variables are not retained from one call to another or after a call disconnects.
When jumping between applications using the Goto App module ( ), Fuse isolates the variables from each application to avoid conflicts. See the Goto App module for more information.
Variable and Javascript Objects
Fuse stores all variables using Javascript. Modules that collect information from a caller create a variable that is a string primitive.
Modules that exchange and receive information with other applications can return complex Javascript Objects.
Users can access object properties by using standard Javascript dot notation: e.g., 'variable_name.subvariable_name'.
Text-to-Speech Variable Types
In the prompt modules, any variables that needs to be presented back to the caller can be set with a specific variable type.
Once a variable type of set, an icon will be shown next to the variable to indicate that text-to-speech variable is of a specific type.
There are 5 variable types in our Text-to-Speech engine:
1. acronym ( ): This instructs the TTS engine to pronounce the variable character by character.
It is useful for word acronyms as well as phone numbers, credit card numbers, or zip codes.
ABS is pronounced as A-B-S instead of the word "abs
12345 is pronounced as 1-2-3-4-5, instead of "twelve thousand three hundred and forty five
2. address ( ): This instructs the TTS engine to pronounce common street address as such.
For example, "E 123rd St" as "East one hundred twenty-third street", or "Boston, MA" as "Boston, Massachusetts
City and State should be its own variable, set aside from the street address. Otherwise, the TTS engine will not able to say the state correctly.
See Address ( ) module for more details.
3. currency ( ): This instructs the TTS engine to pronounce the variable as a currency.
The expected currency format is a number using period as the decimal separator, and without any currency symbols.
Any other non-digits (such as thousands separator) can cause the TTS engines to misinterpret the value.
12.18 is pronounced as "Twelve dollars and eighteen cents
4. date ( ): This instructs the TTS engine to pronounce the variable as date.
The expected date format is MM-DD-YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY
01-01-2019 is pronounced as "January first, two thousand eighteen
5. time ( ): This instructs the TTS engine to pronounce the variable as time.
The expected time format is HH:MM AM/PM
10:34 AM is pronounced as "Ten thirty-four A.M." Leading zeros are required for hours that are single digits (for example, 08:30 AM)
Text-to-speech engine settings can be found in Language Settings under Application Settings
Note: while in most cases, the different TTS engines will pronounce variables the same way, they can still differ in some of its interpretation and usage of grammar and conjunctions, especially with non-English languages. It is recommended to test out how each variable types are spoken with your TTS engine selection
Shadow Variables
For advanced users, VoiceXML-based shadow variables exist for Input modules and the REST data module.
For more information, please see the Shadow Variables page.

and suffering if they have incurred a minimum of $2,000 in medical expenses as a result of the accident.
However, if the plaintiff has suffered from the death of their loved one, lost a body part, obtained fractures, acquired permanent disfigurement, or lost their sight or hearing, they can become exempt from the $2,000 threshold requirement.
Victims can also seek claims to recover their damaged motorcycle's repair or replacement cost and its inherent diminished value. Before doing so, they must first calculate the current worth of their motorcycles after the accident. In the case of motorcycles that are deemed a total loss, insurance companies will only pay policyholders the value of their vehicle as of the date of the accident.
Although Massachusetts only requires a minimum of $5,000 coverage per accident in motorcycle drivers' insurance policies for damage to other people's properties, plaintiffs can still file for compensation for any replacement and repair expenses beyond the minimum amount.
Massachusetts Is a Modified Comparative Fault State for Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits
In Massachusetts, individuals partially at fault for the motorcycle accident can also receive and file insurance claims for their medical costs or damages. This is possible due to the state's modified comparative fault law. However, under this law, a plaintiff can only seek compensation if they are found to be less than 50% responsible for the motorcycle accident. If their level of fault exceeds the 50% threshold, they cannot recover compensation or settlements from the other party or defendant.
Massachusetts's modified comparative fault rule also states that a plaintiff's fault percentage will be reduced to their total claims. For example, if a plaintiff is determined to be 30% at fault for a motorcycle accident, their compensation will be reduced by 30%. This means they will only receive 70% of their total claims.
Massachusetts Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accidents
According to Massachusetts statute of limitations law, motorcycle accident victims must take legal action against the defendants within three years after the accident. This law means that to get compensation or a claim against insurance companies, plaintiffs must file a lawsuit within three years, or their cases will be dismissed.
However, there are exceptions to the statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts, which are listed below:
If the victims are under 18 at the time of the accident, the three-year statute of limitations will not begin until they reach the age of 18.
If the victims are incapacitated due to mental illness during the accident, the statute of limitations will not commence until their mental competency is restored.
If the at-fault parties leave the state after the accident, the statute of limitations will not begin or will remain paused until they return to the state.
Furthermore, in hit-and-run motorcycle accidents, the injured plaintiffs can submit a legal claim within six months after identifying the at-fault parties, even after the three-year statute of limitations has expired. However, to do so, the plaintiffs or someone on their behalf must have submitted a written notice to the registrar of motor vehicles and the police within 30 days after the accident.
Legal Resources for Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Victims
The Massachusetts Bar Association (MBA) is a reputable professional organization representing attorneys in Massachusetts. Established in 1910, the MBA serves as a valuable resource for lawyers, offering various opportunities for professional growth, networking events, and initiatives to promote legal advocacy.
The Massachusetts General Laws is an extensive compilation of statutes that govern a wide range of legal matters within the state. It covers general law, including criminal, civil procedure, family law, and business regulations, that serve as the primary legal authority for residents, businesses, and the state's judicial system. The General Laws help individuals understand their legal rights, obligations, and procedures throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Trial Court Law Libraries is a network of libraries providing legal resources and services to the people of Massachusetts to support their legal research and assist them in navigating the legal system. With locations throughout the state, the MTCLL offers a wide range of legal materials, including books, journals, databases, and online resources. The libraries aim to promote equal access to justice and empower individuals with the information they need to make informed decisions and effectively exercise their legal rights.
The Massachusetts Government's Division of Insurance regulates and supervises the insurance industry in the state. It enforces laws and regulations to ensure a fair and competitive marketplace, protecting consumers and promoting transparency. The Division handles licensing, rate reviews, consumer complaints, and market conduct examinations. Its goal is to maintain a stable insurance market that benefits Massachusetts residents.

Luke 12:45-48 uses the word "servants". What kind of servants get beaten up by their master?
That looks a lot like slaves to me. We have an English word for that thing. It's called slaves. So why use servants? Servants are employees that got paid. Slaves are properties that got beaten up.
Does the Bible translator bowdlerize the Bible to keep it politically correct?

What kind of servant gets beaten by his master? Any servant before the 20th century. You are completely looking at this with 20th century eyes and ignoring the historical context. – DJClayworth May 7 '13 at 13:40
I didn't know about the "before the 20th century" part so I found your question useful. Only a strong historian would know these things. – Tom Au May 9 '13 at 12:35
Well, still proper translation of the scripture to a 20th century english shouldn't use the word servant. – Jim Thio May 13 '13 at 10:51
1 Answer 1
The word servant used here is the Greek word doulos (δοῦλος, Strong's G1401). It can mean either a slave, servant, or bond-servant (similar to indentured servant). But in the Roman society of the time there was very little difference between them, since what we now think of as civil rights only applied to Roman citizens. Slave or not, a Roman master had every right to beat their servants simply because the servants were not Roman citizens. So I would argue that:
 - The words slave, servant, and bond-servant are (nearly) interchangeable here, since each would be historically accurate, the only things that change are the modern implications each word carries.
 - The meaning of the verse holds regardless of the English word which the translators chose to use.

 exactly! no matter what kind of words they use... what's important is how it is described. like "servants" can be beaten up to a pulp by their master as long as they don't die. – FFCoder May 7 '13 at 8:15
 roman citizen can beat up non roman citizen? – Jim Thio May 8 '13 at 10:43

As the world continues to change and be transformed, so does architecture. Therefore, the estimates indicate that by 2023 the industry will exhibit the latest trends and technologies.
Here are three major trends that experts predict we'll see in the field of architecture in the coming months.
As could be expected, there will be a stronger focus on sustainability as more architects are aware of the impact their designs have on the environment. That explains why we have seen how they try to incorporate sustainable, recycled, and renewable materials in their works in recent years.
This means that in the future we'll see more buildings built with renewable materials, and resources, thus reducing their environmental impact. In short, it's very likely that the use of solar panels, wind turbines, and even rainwater harvesting systems will no longer be the exception but will become the norm.
In addition, experts indicate that it'll become increasingly common for architects to use natural lighting, and ventilation to reduce the need for electrical systems.
Curves above anything else
Besides, the projections for 2023 include architects embracing the beauty of curves more. Bold, creative designs with sinuous lines will take center stage in many architectural projects to be unveiled throughout the year.
In this way, sleek lines and organic forms will bring dynamism to any building, allowing for more interesting compositions that invite passersby to explore and admire such works. When it comes to architecture, 2023 will certainly be a year of innovation and experimentation, as projects with curved structures come to life.
This trend is expected to be expressed in a variety of ways from curved roofs to wave-shaped walls. These wave structures are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they can also have stronger frames and provide additional benefits. For example, curved walls can serve to deflect winds, reduce noise, and even increase structural stability.
Back to basics
As contradictory as it may seem, the simplicity of minimalism will counterbalance the ostentation of the curves in this year's architecture. This will be a major trend in interior decoration that will continue after 2023, going beyond the structures.
Its focus on clean, simple lines and shapes, combined with the use of natural materials and a color palette that is often neutral, will result in timeless-looking spaces that are both modern and elegant.
So, the coming months will show us interesting architectural works whose focus will be respecting the environment, moving between the carefree nature of the curves and the beauty of simplicity.


Monogenic inheritance
From Biology-Online Dictionary | Biology-Online Dictionary
Definition
noun
A form of inheritance that follows Mendel's Law of Heredity
Supplement
Monogenic inheritance refers to the kind of inheritance whereby a trait is determined by the expression of a single gene or allele, not by several genes as in polygenic inheritance. It is a form of a Mendelian inheritance, which is defined as a type of biological inheritance that conforms to the set of principles proposed by Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel is an Augustinian monk and botanist who formulated the laws of heredity based on his careful breeding experiments on garden pea plants. He formulated laws regarding the transmission of genetic characters from parent organisms to their offspring based on breeding experiments on pea plants. These laws are now referred to as "Mendel's laws of inheritance", particularly the Law of Segregation, the Law of Independent Assortment, and the Law of Dominance. According to the Law of Segregation, the paired alleles separate during gamete formation. As a result, each gamete would contain a single copy of every paired unit factors. In the Law of Independent Assortment, it states that for every pair of unit factors, each would assort independently into the newly formed gametes. As for the Law of Dominance, in the two alleles of a heterozygous pair, the allele that is expressed is the dominant allele whereas the allele that is not expressed is the recessive allele. A monogenic disease or monogenic disorder would thus result when a single pair of genes is involved.

Despite the fact that earth funnels are solid, steady and durable, they can be inclined to tree root assaults, causing broad and exorbitant repairs.
What's the issue?
- The joints inside mud funnels were once in a while made watertight, as they are required. The smaller end of the pipe was embedded into the bigger end of the following segment and cement or mortar would be utilized to 'seal' it up. Little measures of water would have the capacity to escape through the seal of the funnels, which would draw in the development of tree channels.
- Clay funnels were just made in three-inch long segments. While a run of the mill sewer is around 100 inches in length, this would mean roughly 33 joints were required, which means there were 33 open doors for tree roots to enter, develop, and cause issues.
- Clay is a greatly overwhelming material for utilization of funnels. The ground underneath us normally moves and moves over significant lots of times, which means the funnels can bite by bit sink bring down inside the dirt, inevitably compounding the holes in the fixed joints.
- Clay funnels are weak and effortlessly broken. As they settle inside the ground, move or move, they can split and break, which would make more potential section focuses on tree roots and additionally an entire scope of further issues.
When tree roots have advanced into the mud funnels, they will keep on growing, which will keep on worsening the hole inside the channels. In the end, this could cause mud funnels to totally break or get smashed, which can bring about that segment of the pipe waiting to be supplanted.
The interruption of tree roots can be resolved before the pipe has had an opportunity to break or get smashed, as the roots are probably going to hinder the stream of water and waste, rapidly causing reinforcements in showers, toilets, and other depleting installations.
Removing roots from dirt channels is the best way to give an impermanent answer for the issue, however, this could last anyplace from a couple of months to a couple of years. The best way to keep roots from becoming further into the earth funnels is to totally supplant the channels or give a pipelining. Numerous individuals select expelling the tree with the harming roots, however, this won't totally tackle the issue as roots can keep on growing for a long time after a tree has been chopped down.

Fact: The makom shechitah (region of the neck in which ritual slaughter is valid) on a giraffe is precisely defined by halachah, just as it is for all animals, and the only impediments to shechting giraffe are cost and practical considerations. (They are among the most difficult animals to restrain.)
Background: This misconception is very widespread and is shared by young and old alike. Children learn it in kindergarten, and senior citizens have told it to me in shul.
Before questioning how to perform the shechitah, it is necessary to ascertain that the giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis) -- the biggest ruminant and the tallest mammal -- is indeed kosher. The physical indicia of a kosher mammal are that it be a ruminant and have split hooves (Leviticus 11:2-8 and Deuteronomy 14:4-8). A visit to your local zoo will reveal this striped giant standing on split hooves and chewing its cud. There is also an historical record of the giraffe being accepted as kosher. The zemer, listed among the ten types of kosher animals in Deuteronomy (14:5), is identified as the giraffe by Rav Saadia Gaon, Rabbenu Yona, Radak, the Septuagint, and many others.
Regarding the makom shechitah, the Talmud (Chullin 27a) probes for the Biblical source that slaughtering must be performed at the neck, and concludes that it is a tradition, a law given to Moses at Sinai. This would indicate that the entire neck is valid for shechitah. In most animals, one does not think about how to define the neck, because it is a relatively small area. In the case of the giraffe, one might contemplate whether the whole neck really is valid and wonder about the exact location of the acceptable zone. But there is no need to equivocate; the specific anatomic boundaries (cited in Chullin 45a; Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah 20:1-2) for the ritual slaughter of all animals apply to the giraffe as well. For a pigeon, the valid region is a few inches long; for a cow, over 12 inches; and for a giraffe, close to six feet. A kashrut expert once quipped that "anyone who does not know where to shecht a giraffe either knows nothing about the laws of shechitah or could not hit the side of a barn with a baseball."
When I asked Rabbi Yosef Kafich, a leading rabbi and scholar in the Israeli Yemenite community, if there are any halachic impediments to shechting giraffe, his tongue-in-cheek response was that the only problem might be that "at $10,000 per kilo, it would be ba'al tashchit (a waste)!"
