MOSCOW, 21 APR – RIA Novosti. Any withdrawal restrictions imposed to combat the spread of the coronavirus, should be gradual, if they are removed too early, it may happen a new outbreak, reports Reuters with reference to the regional Director of the world health organization (who) for Western Pacific Takeshi Kasai.
According to Kasai, who on Tuesday spoke at the online press conference of the government considering the removal of restrictions should approach this very cautiously, gradually, and continue to monitor the epidemiological situation. He noted that the coronavirus is spreading, none of the countries are not immune from outbreaks.
Kasai said that the measures taken to combat the pandemic proved its effectiveness. He noted that people should be ready for a new lifestyle, to allow the community to function in the new regime, while the coronavirus is under control.
according to the Agency, the who representative also said that at this stage it is impossible to establish the exact source of the coronavirus. He noted, however, that existing evidence points to its animal origin.
Kasai during the press conference also warned that the epidemic COVID-19 must not disrupt vaccine programs from other dangerous diseases as polio, measles or rubella. Otherwise, it could lead to a new crisis.
the world health organization on 11 March announced the outbreak of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 pandemic. According to the latest who data, there have been recorded more than 2.3 million cases of infection, over 157 thousand people died.

We all have that craving for a fluffy, crispy, and rich tortilla goodness. There is not a single day that goes by without thinking about that tasty meal and the ingredients you can pair it with. No matter what you use with your next tortilla batch, they will always have that awesome flavor to them.
But, if you've decided to crank it up a notch and make your own tortilla at home (check out our guide on tortilla press reviews) , then it's time to start preparing the dough. Whether you've picked up a bag of your favorite flour tortilla mix or you are making your own batch at home, the most important part of getting the ideal tortillas to roll them out properly.
If you've never rolled out tortillas before, then you've come to the right place. We've made an easy step-by-step guide to show you all you need to know to roll it out just right. So, without further ado, let's get right to it.
Step 1: Let the Dough Rest
Before you can start rolling the dough, you need to let it rest. This is the first and most important step to making a fluffy tortilla. Both store-bought and homemade doughs need at least 15 minutes to rest. You can do that by placing your dough in a big bowl or a cast iron.
Then, cover it up with a towel and place it on the counter at room temperature. If you place it somewhere very cold, it will take a lot longer for the dough to become pliable. So, if you live in cold places, then it's best to store the dough in the oven while it's off.
Step 2: Prepare the Cooking Tools
While the dough is resting, you need to use this time efficiently. Get your skillet or pan that you are going to cook the tortillas in and heat them up on medium heat. Sprinkle some oil.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
After the dough has rested, it's time to start preparing it. Pick up the dough from the bowl and place it on a floured counter surface. Then, start kneading it with your hands for a couple of minutes. Shape the dough into a big ball.
Step 4: Divide the Dough Into Multiple Equal Portions
Take a knife, or use your hands to divide the big ball into multiple smaller portions of the same size. Try to get as many parts as you can without cutting them too thin.
Step 5: Give the Dough a Round Shape
Take one of the pieces you just cut and place them in your hands. Then, place the dough on the counter and gently rub your hands over it to give it a round ball-like shape. Move your hand in a circular motion and gently press the dough against the counter until you get the desired shape.
This should take 2 to 3 minutes, depending on whether you've worked with dough before. At first, the dough might appear a little bit misshapen, but once you press on the edges, you can fix it in seconds.
When you are done, flatten the dough with your fingers and flour the counter surface once more.
Step 6: Roll the Dough
Take out a rolling pin, sprinkle it with some flour to avoid the dough sticking to the surface of the pin, and roll it out. Place the pin on top of the dough, start from the center and roll it away from you and then towards you.
The idea is to keep the round shape of the dough, so don't roll too much on either side, or you will lose the shape. Then, turn the dough for 180 degrees and repeat the same process. Keep rolling it until you get a very clean circle.
To flatten out the edges, use the tip of the pin, not the center, since it gives you a lot more control over your pin. That way, you can fix all the imperfections without cracking or separating the dough. Once the dough has about a 1/16 inch thickness and is just barely transparent enough to see your hand through it, it's ready to be cooked.
Step 7: Time to Cook
Transfer your dough to the warm pan and let it cook for about a minute on each side or until you see big bubbles start to form on the surface.
That's it! That's how you roll out and cook a tortilla dough. Enjoy.

Wicanhpi Iyotan Win Autumn Cavender is an artist, midwife, and activist currently residing in her home territories. She began her journey as an artist through a porcupine quillworking apprenticeship with master quillworkers in 2016. She began her digital art practice through an interest in developing original designs in quillwork and beadwork, and in its appeal to younger generations. Fiercely dedicated to decolonization, land rights, and birth justice, Cavender spends much of her time engaged in community work. She firmly believes in the power of community art and the legacy of craft to heal trauma and spur critical dialogue about Indigenous reality. Currently, she is launching her practice into the digital sphere, and explores the ways in which ancestral practice, generative tech, and the vibrations of sound intersect.
Cavender's work as a digital artist includes creating Dakota floral designs and templates for personal beadwork, community projects, and public art. Additionally, she uses digital art techniques in her practice of "generative quillwork". In developing designs and patterns using songs and sounds to explore the design applications of contemporary mediums, she aligns Dakota artistic praxis, rather than trying to fit "Indian" designs into contemporary mediums. This innovative practice is based in Dakota quillwork methodologies and informed by her personal understanding of Dakota techniques of encoding teachings of theology, cosmology, place, and genealogy.

Simulation of Interstitial Atom Diffusion in FCC Metals with Point Defects
This work is devoted to simulation of interstitial atom diffusion in fcc metals with point defects. We used the molecular static and the Monte Carlo methods. An activation barrier set for different configurations of the carbon–vacancy complexes is simulated by the method of the molecular static (MS). Then we calculate atom jump rates for these configurations. The simulation of the carbon and vacancy migration in an fcc metal is realized on the basis of obtained atom jump rates by using the Monte-Carlo (MC) method. In particular, the calculations were made for the system of the nickel-carbon. In the result of that interstitial atom diffusion coefficient has been obtained at different temperatures.

What is better for muscle mass – Eq or Deca?
What is better for muscle mass – Eq or Deca?
Content:
equipoise reviews
People who regularly go in for sports and watch their figure want their time and energy to bear fruit. Therefore, the choice of sports nutrition always remains relevant. But what is better to take for muscle growth: Deca or Eq?
That is, in essence, if Equipoise gains, the time Equipoise enters the blood increases due to the fact that initially this steroid enters the stomach, and only then splits and begins to be absorbed, and only then enters the blood. It turns out that taking Equipoise in finished form is better, but is it really so?
Eq or Deca?
If we talk about structural differences, then Boldenone Undecylenate is a simpler substance. Essentially, amines are Deca steroids, only in split form.
From this it turns out that the difference between Deca or Eq is that the latter are absorbed longer. And that is all? Not really, there are a couple more moments. Getting into Deca's stomach, be it a cocktail or a dry powder, it ends up in the gastric juice, where it begins to break down into simpler substances. But since the gastric juice is a set of enzymes and hydrochloric acid, the stay in it does not pass without a trace. As a result of such processing Some of the nutrients dissolve and do not enter the intestine, as the active substance.
Another difference between Deca or Eq is the presence of additional impurities. If you take high-quality steroids and compare their, then you can see that in Eq steroid nothing but amines. In Deca you can find: dyes, flavors and flavor enhancers. This is all added to the powder mixture in order to give a pleasant taste.
READ Clinical Equipoise - in sports nutrition
In many ways, therefore, the average price for Eq steroid can exceed the cost of Deca steroids.
Pros and cons of Eq steroid
The first advantage, which was noted earlier, is that the Eq 300 steroid does not need digestion. This means that when they get into the body, such bio-additives begin to be absorbed almost immediately and get into the blood faster. The rate of assimilation of amines depends on the individual characteristics, but on average takes 5-10 minutes.
Deca steroids, however, require additional cleavage and only then they enter the small intestine, where they begin to be absorbed. The total time takes about 1 hour.
If we talk about what time of absorption is preferable for the organism, there is almost no difference.
The second advantage is that in eq 300 steroid there are no fats and carbohydrates. That is, sports nutrition in the form of amines is a pure protein. In Deca, on average, there are 5-7% fats and 10-15% carbohydrates. Therefore, equipoise gains will be more useful for those who want to lose weight. This is a definite plus for losing weight and unpleasant minus for those who want to build muscle.
The third advantage is that Eq 300 steroid is more convenient to take. Their no need to mix in a shaker, which to all you need to carry and wash. For their intake does not require additional fluids in the form of milk or other quickly perishable products. All you need is to take a few pills with any water or liquid that will be on hand (with the exception of alcohol). If amines are in powder form, they can also be stirred in any liquid.
READ How are Equipose and Rapid Muscle Growth Connected?
Pros and cons of Deca
As counterarguments, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the 3 advantages of Deca, which are in no way inferior to the advantages of your opponent.
The first plus of Deca is that the presence of fats and carbohydrates in mixtures better nourishes the body. This means that no matter what the goal is: to lose weight or gain muscle mass, the Deca technique will be useful. In the case of weight loss, this supplement can act as a snack. But Equipose cannot do this, because it is quite difficult to saturate the body with pills.
The second advantage is that they split for quite a long time. Among them are casein, which is recommended to take during sleep. The fact is that the sleeping organism continues to expend the energy necessary for recovery. If a "at hand" there are no simple sources of energy, then the body will undertake the splitting of muscle fibers, which is not good.
equipoise gains
If you use only Equipose, then they will quickly digest and the body will starve in 1-2 hours.
The third and most important plus is the cost of Deca, which is cheaper than Equipose.
The cost difference arises because additional processing is required to obtain equipoise gains. That is, the manufacturer needs artificial stomach in order to break down proteins and preserve useful acids. After that, the process of pressing into tablets or capsules. As a result, equipoise gains become more expensive, which leads to an increase in market value.
Equipoise gains
It so happens that without taking Deca or Eq is not enough, and this is a fairly frequent practice in bodybuilding. That is why there is a need to use two types of additives. But how, in this case, to take supplements to get the maximum benefit?
READ How to take Equipoise for cutting
Simultaneous reception These supplements are possible and harmless to health, but still not recommended. The fact is that by consuming two bioadditives simultaneously, the overall effectiveness is lost.
Separate reception Supplements are a priority, since in this case both products are assimilated without residue. In this case, first of all you need to use Equipoise, which will enter the blood within 10 minutes.
In this case, there is a scheme that will bring the greatest effect from the use of both mixtures:
 - Reviews suggest that it is better to take before and after exercise to add more energy to the muscles. It will also help you recover faster after a hard time.
 - Reception of Deca is recommended in hours separate from training or in 30 minutes after its termination.
Reception of these supplements is recommended 3 times a day. Reception time depends on the training schedule and rest days.
Reviews and conclusions
In conclusion, it will be useful to draw a line in which to indicate the main conclusions about which of the additives is better and in what their fundamental difference.
 1. If you dwell on a specific choice – amines, it all depends on personal preference. For the most part, there are no significant differences between them.
 2. Reviews of the drug say that it is recommended to take those who want to lose weight.
It turns out an interconnected cycle, which does not allow to give an unequivocal answer to all possible cases. Personal recommendation: if overweight is present, then it is better to take amines. They will help you lose weight and give your muscles relief.

More so for ZARI where 36% of the respondents were satisfied with access to information by women with 42% being dissatisfied with suitability of the facility for women. There was also a big disparity between NAIS and ZARI on the cost of the information and services (63% and 91%). However, all the members of staff at ZARI are satisfied with the quality of information, 100% satisfaction was recorded compared to 77% satisfaction at NAIS. All directors, managers and administrative staff were generally satisfied at both NAIS and ZARI. However, technical members of staff were dissatisfied (2 officers from Kasama and 4 officers at NAIS HQ; 2 officers at Kasama and 1 officer at ZARI HQ).
Table 6. Satisfaction for various factors.
Reasons for joining the project – NAIS
There were several reasons that were given by members of staff for joining the projects. Most of the respondents in NAIS indicated that they joined the project to improve the extension system of the ministry of agriculture (36%). The same number of respondents joined the project for the sake of improving their personal lives.
There were fewer members of staff who joined the project to abreast themselves with new technical information to help farmers use improved methods of production to improve their livelihoods (5%). The same percentage of respondents say they joined the project because of their positions in the institution. Some of the respondents in NAIS say they joined the project to built capacity to perform their daily duties through the use of ICTs and exchange information (27% and 5%).
Table 7. Reasons for joining NAIS project.
Reasons for joining the project – ZARI
Results of this study showed that most researchers at ZARI did not join the project with the farmers' interests at heart as most respondents had less focus at farmer level. Only 16% of the researchers joined the project to research for activities that would help generate information for farmers. Most of them joined for the purpose of communicating with their colleagues and access information for research purposes (47% and 42%). Others say they joined the project in order to get opportunities to learn more important global issues and be exposed to the outside world in terms of training (5%), while the same number said they wanted to benefit from the IICD supported project. 26% of the respondents say they joined the project to improve their IT skills.
Table 8. Reasons for joining ZARI project.
The study revealed that the project had low economic impact on NAIS (5%), although, there was no negative impact in the same institution. There was very high sector and gender impact in ZARI (83% and 60% respectively). Awareness was very high in the two projects (81% and 83%). Generally, there was lower development impact in NAIS as compared to ZARI.
Table 9. Development impact.
Before undertaking any development intervention, good practice would suggest that the two projects access what has already worked, or not worked, and why. This is of course difficult to do when undertaking pilot projects in an emerging area such as ICTs, however it is precisely for this reason that pilot projects in NAIS and ZARI had to monitor and evaluate the changes brought about by the pilot interventions.
One of the key observations made during the FGM was that the study paid attention to monitoring and evaluation of ICT outcomes, with the result that there was little data to assess the actual impact of these technologies on the rural poor and that there was need to undertake more rigorous monitoring and evaluation of the projects and develop frameworks and guidelines for measuring impact.
Since applications of ICTs in community-based development projects are still relatively new and experimental, future initiatives should build on "what works and what does not work" and "why."
There is also need for the two projects to engage in ongoing dialogue with members of staff within NAIS and ZARI and the local people in Kasama district, where the pilot projects are located, about the role and impact of ICTs and the context in which ICTs should be introduced, especially in terms of their information needs, attitudes towards the technologies themselves, applications and products, and possible impacts, both positive and negative.
For the NAIS project, the FGM also identified the need to have farmers and extension camp officers fill in the end-user questionnaires so that we engage local people in the validation of the various communication tools and let them identify the most useful medium to meet their needs. This requires acknowledging that people should be active creators and not just passive users of the new ICTs.
Generally, there was low women participation in the two projects. Was this a reflection of the establishment of the two institutions? To tackle this problem, there is need to hold a workshop for women in all IICD supported projects to in Zambia to establish why there is low women participation in the projects as this would help reshape the gender imbalances in the projects. The two projects should provide needs-sensitive ICTs skills training at all levels, especially to youths, women and marginalized groups. Individual, group and organizational ICT capacities need to be strengthened to ensure effective use of ICTs for exchange of information, in particular knowledge building for productive activities that lead to wealth generation and improved livelihoods.

How to Clean and Sanitize Computer Equipment
23 September, 2020
Cleaning and sanitizing your computer equipment are good practices to follow in normal times. In the midst of a global pandemic, they take on amplified importance. Not only will regular cleaning keep your equipment in top working condition, but it can also remove substantial amounts of contagions from some of the surfaces you touch most in a day.
The Difference Between Cleaning and Sanitizing
Cleaning and sanitizing are related but independent concepts. The former refers to physically removing dust, dirt, grime and debris, while the latter neutralizes bacteria and viruses. Since these infectious molecules cling to dirt, cleaning will remove the majority of any nasty microbes that will make you sick, but your equipment isn't sanitized until you've done so chemically (e.g., with rubbing alcohol or another cleaner).
How often you clean and sanitize depends on your environment and interactions with others. If you work in a garage or shop, cleaning will be a higher priority and might need to be done daily. If you're sharing a computer with others inside an office, you might only need to clean it monthly, but you should sanitize peripheral equipment each day.
How to Clean and Sanitize Computer Equipment
Every piece of computer equipment should be cleaned and sanitized periodically, but the peripherals you touch frequently should be the top priority. These include mice, keyboards and trackpads. Before working on any of these, though, power them down completely and unplug them from your computer. If you're dealing with battery-powered accessories, turn them off and remove the batteries — this includes laptops.
Mice come in many shapes and sizes, from simple ergonomic designs to gamer-style options with numerous crevices and controls. The more unique your mouse is, the more surfaces you'll need to address. Begin by using a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surface. If grime has built up since your last cleaning, a bit of elbow grease is the best solution. Harsh chemicals or solvents can have unintended effects you want to avoid. For stubborn spots, use something rigid but forgiving, such as a toothpick.
Once you've removed visible dirt and dust, wipe the mouse down with a disinfectant bleach wipe or a paper towel sprayed with rubbing alcohol. If you're using isopropyl alcohol, it needs to be at least a 70- percent concentration; if it's ethanol, be sure to purchase at least a 60 percent concentration. Don't forget to wipe down the cord for non-wireless mice.
Keyboards are a bit more involved. Yours might have come with a keycap removal tool, which will allow you to pull each key off and clean beneath it. If you don't have one, you can buy an inexpensive tool from any computer store. Wipe down the surface of the keyboard with a soft, damp cloth before removing anything. Pull the keys off and use a can of compressed air to get rid of the dust and loose dirt in the key bed. A toothpick can also be useful here if you have any embedded grit. Laptop keyboards should be treated similarly, but with a bit of extra precaution. Unlike an external keyboard, all of a laptop's sensitive components are housed directly beneath the keys. As long as you're careful and don't use too much cleaning solution, though, you should be fine.
When you're done, put the keys back onto the board, but be sure to pull up a picture of your keyboard layout before doing so! Otherwise, you might end up with some interesting (and confusing) combinations.
Trackpads are another area to focus on. Power off your computer completely, then use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the trackpad and area on either side of it thoroughly. Use a toothpick to trace the recessed lip all the way around the pad and dislodge any grime that you find. Once it's physically clean, use disinfecting wipes or alcohol spray to disinfect it.
Keeping Your Computer Equipment Clean and Sanitized
The best way to clean your equipment is to keep it from getting dirty in the first place. Don't eat at your desk and keep drinks away from the computer. Wash your hands often and have alcohol spray or disinfecting wipes close by so you can use them frequently. If your computer is in a dusty or dirty environment, investing in a washable keyboard cover is a good idea.
If you share computers with someone, consider purchasing your own mouse and keyboard. This isn't always feasible, but it's worth the investment when you can. A simple USB port swap when you sit down to work will prevent you from being exposed to numerous avoidable germs.

Expressive Activity on Campus
What is Texas Senate Bill 18?
The 86th Texas Legislature (2019) passed Senate Bill 18, codified in Education Code § 51.9315, Protected
Expression on Campus.
The law defines terms; discusses the importance of freedom of speech and expression on campus; and
provides that reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions are still authorized, including but not limited
to, a faculty member's ability to maintain safety and order in a classroom.
Read Texas Senate Bill 18
What Does This Law Require?
The law requires each institution of higher education to adopt a policy detailing student's rights
and responsibilities regarding expressive activities at the college. The policy MUST ALLOW:
 1. "Any person" to engage in expressive activity on campus.
 2. Student organizations and faculty to invite speakers.
 3. A method for filing complaints about non-compliance with the law and disciplinary procedures for individuals (students and employees) violating this law.
 4. The Board of Trustees to approve the new policy before it takes effect.
How Does Senate Bill 18 Benefit Students?
 1. Colleges may not take action against student organizations based on their viewpoints and the expressive activities for which they engage.
 2. Colleges can only consider four factors when determining whether to permit a speaker on campus and the appropriate security fee-venue and size of the crowd, need for security, necessary accommodations, and history of rule compliance by the group or individual inviting the speaker—but not the anticipated controversy related to the appearance.

The upcoming PANDA at FAIR experiment in Darmstadt, Germany will belong to a new generation of accelerator-based experiments relying exclusively on software filters for data selection. Due to the likeness of signal and background as well as the multitude of investigated physics channels, this paradigm shift is driven by the need for having full and precise information from all detectors in order to perform a reliable data selection. In our experiment, this software trigger will need to cope with incoming event rates of up to 20 MHz, corresponding to a raw data rate of up to 200 GB/s.
At Uppsala University, our PANDA group's physics interest is focused on hyperon reactions. With respect to the reconstruction algorithms, hyperons impose a particular challenge due to their relatively long-lived nature. This causes their decay vertices to be separated from the beam-target interaction point by up to several metres. In order to filter interesting data, Uppsala is, in collaboration with other international groups, developing a framework for Dynamic Track and Event Reconstruction (DyTER). DyTER draws upon a variety of reconstruction algorithms, such as a cellular automaton and pattern matching. This presentation will give an overview of the general concept as well as showcase the current development.

Charlotte Edalji (née Stoneham)
Her English family was at the heart of British imperialism in India
Charlotte Edalji (née Stoneham) (_PHONE_) was the daughter of the Vicar of Ketley in Shropshire and lived almost the whole of her life in vicarages. She had a fascinating ancestry, claiming that one of her family fought in the Crusades and that another distant relative was related to Katherine Howard, wife of Henry VIII. From the 17th century, members of the Thompson, Swan and Stoneham branches of the family were involved in British exploitation and conquest of India. Some stayed in Bombay itself for a period. She campaigned passionately to have her son declared innocent of the attack on a pony for which he was convicted in 1903. She wrote, among others, to the King and the Queen, and appeared on a platform alongside George Bernard Shaw.

A design review applies most commonly to new construction projects. Since mistakes in the design phase are the most costly to rectify, Design Review services makes sure that the design meets the intended functionality, performance and cost objectives of the data center.
The goals of the Design Review are mainly to:
- Catch early inconsistencies and discoordination in the project architecture and other engineering disciplines.
- Introduce data center best practices with the concept of operations and maintenance in mind.
- Performing value engineering without compromising reliability.
- Reduce the cost and risk of changes required later in the lifecycle.

 -dp Annotate the assembler output with a comment indicating which
 pattern and alternative was used. The length of each
 instruction is also printed.
 -dP Dump the RTL in the assembler output as a comment before each
 instruction. Also turns on -dp annotation.
 -dv For each of the other indicated dump files (-fdump-rtl-pass),
 dump a representation of the control flow graph suitable for
 viewing with VCG to file.pass.vcg.
 -dx Just generate RTL for a function instead of compiling it.
 Usually used with -fdump-rtl-expand.
 -dy Dump debugging information during parsing, to standard error.
 -fdump-noaddr
 When doing debugging dumps, suppress address output. This makes it
 more feasible to use diff on debugging dumps for compiler
 invocations with different compiler binaries and/or different text
 / bss / data / heap / stack / dso start locations.
 -fdump-unnumbered
 When doing debugging dumps, suppress instruction numbers and
 address output. This makes it more feasible to use diff on
 debugging dumps for compiler invocations with different options, in
 particular with and without -g.
 -fdump-unnumbered-links
 When doing debugging dumps (see -d option above), suppress
 instruction numbers for the links to the previous and next
 instructions in a sequence.
 -fdump-translation-unit (C++ only)
 -fdump-translation-unit-options (C++ only)
 Dump a representation of the tree structure for the entire
 translation unit to a file. The file name is made by appending .tu
 to the source file name, and the file is created in the same
 directory as the output file. If the -options form is used,
 options controls the details of the dump as described for the
 -fdump-tree options.
 -fdump-class-hierarchy (C++ only)
 -fdump-class-hierarchy-options (C++ only)
 Dump a representation of each class's hierarchy and virtual
 function table layout to a file. The file name is made by
 appending .class to the source file name, and the file is created
 in the same directory as the output file. If the -options form is
 used, options controls the details of the dump as described for the
 -fdump-tree options.
 -fdump-ipa-switch
 Control the dumping at various stages of inter-procedural analysis
 language tree to a file. The file name is generated by appending a
 switch specific suffix to the source file name, and the file is
 created in the same directory as the output file. The following
 dumps are possible:
 all Enables all inter-procedural analysis dumps.
 cgraph
 Dumps information about call-graph optimization, unused
 function removal, and inlining decisions.
 inline
 Dump after function inlining.
 -fdump-statistics-option
 Enable and control dumping of pass statistics in a separate file.
 The file name is generated by appending a suffix ending in
 .statistics to the source file name, and the file is created in the
 same directory as the output file. If the -option form is used,
 -stats will cause counters to be summed over the whole compilation
 unit while -details will dump every event as the passes generate
 them. The default with no option is to sum counters for each
 function compiled.
 -fdump-tree-switch
 -fdump-tree-switch-options
 Control the dumping at various stages of processing the
 intermediate language tree to a file. The file name is generated
 by appending a switch specific suffix to the source file name, and
 the file is created in the same directory as the output file. If
 the -options form is used, options is a list of - separated options
 that control the details of the dump. Not all options are
 applicable to all dumps, those which are not meaningful will be
 ignored. The following options are available
 address
 Print the address of each node. Usually this is not meaningful
 as it changes according to the environment and source file.
 Its primary use is for tying up a dump file with a debug
 environment.
 asmname
 If "DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME" has been set for a given decl, use
 that in the dump instead of "DECL_NAME". Its primary use is
 ease of use working backward from mangled names in the assembly
 file.
 slim
 Inhibit dumping of members of a scope or body of a function
 merely because that scope has been reached. Only dump such
 items when they are directly reachable by some other path.
 When dumping pretty-printed trees, this option inhibits dumping
 the bodies of control structures.
 raw Print a raw representation of the tree. By default, trees are
 pretty-printed into a C-like representation.
 details
 Enable more detailed dumps (not honored by every dump option).
 stats
 Enable dumping various statistics about the pass (not honored
 by every dump option).
 blocks
 Enable showing basic block boundaries (disabled in raw dumps).
 vops
 Enable showing virtual operands for every statement.
 lineno
 Enable showing line numbers for statements.
 uid Enable showing the unique ID ("DECL_UID") for each variable.
 verbose
 Enable showing the tree dump for each statement.
 eh Enable showing the EH region number holding each statement.
 all Turn on all options, except raw, slim, verbose and lineno.
 The following tree dumps are possible:
 original
 Dump before any tree based optimization, to file.original.
 optimized
 Dump after all tree based optimization, to file.optimized.
 gimple
 Dump each function before and after the gimplification pass to
 a file. The file name is made by appending .gimple to the
 source file name.
 cfg Dump the control flow graph of each function to a file. The
 file name is made by appending .cfg to the source file name.
 vcg Dump the control flow graph of each function to a file in VCG
 format. The file name is made by appending .vcg to the source
 file name. Note that if the file contains more than one
 function, the generated file cannot be used directly by VCG.
 You will need to cut and paste each function's graph into its
 own separate file first.
 ch Dump each function after copying loop headers. The file name
 is made by appending .ch to the source file name.
 ssa Dump SSA related information to a file. The file name is made
 by appending .ssa to the source file name.
 alias
 Dump aliasing information for each function. The file name is
 made by appending .alias to the source file name.
 ccp Dump each function after CCP. The file name is made by
 appending .ccp to the source file name.
 storeccp
 Dump each function after STORE-CCP. The file name is made by
 appending .storeccp to the source file name.
 pre Dump trees after partial redundancy elimination. The file name
 is made by appending .pre to the source file name.
 fre Dump trees after full redundancy elimination. The file name is
 made by appending .fre to the source file name.
 copyprop
 Dump trees after copy propagation. The file name is made by
 appending .copyprop to the source file name.
 store_copyprop
 Dump trees after store copy-propagation. The file name is made
 by appending .store_copyprop to the source file name.
 dce Dump each function after dead code elimination. The file name
 is made by appending .dce to the source file name.

Several scientific studies show that respiratory problems of urban citizens have a high correlation with the presence or absence of certain species of lichens in the cities. The last Global Burden of Desease (GDB) shows that at least 15,000 deaths a year are attributable to air pollution.
During the workshop we will:
- Show how to identify the most common lichen species in the city of Barcelona.
- Explain the relationship between the presence of each species and the air pollution level.
- Show how to use a citizen science platform to monitor the presence and abundance of lichen species in your city.
- Conduct a field trip to practice with the platform Natusfera before planning your future activities with students.
The event takes place at Centre Cultural Casa Orlandai, Barcelona.
Natusfera is a citizen science platform created to record, organise and share naturalistic observations. Natusfera want to foster participation of nature enthusiasts, knowledge of the natural world and its exploration.
The workshop is organised and facilitated by CREAF (Ecological and Forestry Application Research Centre), an ECSA member based in Barcelona (Spain).
"Training the trainers" workshops aim to build capacity in biodiversity monitoring to facilitate youth participation in citizen science activities.

When people conduct unauthorized activities on private property, it is called trespassing. When people conduct unauthorized activities on public land or in legally platted drainage easements, it is called encroachment. Sometimes people do not know they have a drainage easement on their property or understand why it needs to be kept free of obstructions. Sometimes people knowingly disturb the intended function of public land and easements by such unacceptable practices as: building structures, storing vehicles, dumping yard waste, planting trees and gardens, or removing vegetation. In rare instances, activities that do not change the intended function of the land can be allowed, however, people that wish to change or utilize public property or drainage easements must first apply for a revocable permit.

Suppose that two persons, A and B, died in a common disaster. B was the child of A and stood to receive some or all of A's property at A's death. Yet B (and, in turn, B's successors) would only be so entitled if B survived A, at least for an instant. How was a court to determine whether B so survived? This article explores the answers in England and America from 1766 to 2006. Commissioned for a book on The Law of Presumptions: Essays in Comparative Legal History, the article examines the history of the presumptions in Anglo-American law that govern survivorship. The article uses treatises, cases, and legislative records to shed new light on the history, and to explore the resistance at common law to any presumption on the matter - a resistance that was only overcome by legislation in the twentieth century.

In the summer of 2012, four Princeton students traveled to Koidu, Sierra Leone, looking for a community to partner with for a new Engineers Without Borders project. Senior Michael Showak and junior Christine Feng acted as project co-managers.

Video feature: Engineers Without Borders, Sierra Leone
Posted January 28, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
Dorma is a small village in the heart of the Kono District of Sierra Leone, which was ravaged by the country's civil war that concluded in 2002. It lies about two miles from the center of Koidu, the district capital, and is surrounded by rice fields where many of its residents farm.
A group of four students working with the Princeton chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB-Princeton) were in Sierra Leone last summer to talk with local citizens and leaders about opening a new program. In this video EWB-Princeton participants talk about their partnership with the village of Dorma to address a few of the basic needs of the community. The students noted that the village has seen little continual effort for a redevelopment of infrastructure in the postwar decade.
Play the "Engineers Without Borders, Sierra Leone" video.
"The community lacks infrastructure that we would view as essential — clean water and basic sanitation — not from a lack of interest, but from a lack of resources and opportunity," said senior Michael Showak, a chemical and biological engineering major who served as project manager of EWB-Princeton's Sierra Leone team. "We're hoping to be able to work with them to offer our knowledge and engineering skills to assist them to reach the goals they have for themselves."
The program will work to improve quality of life in the community. Most pressing is the need for clean and consistent drinking water. To access water during the dry season, when wells often run dry, residents dig pits in the swamps where they grow their rice. Even when the well produces water, it is highly unsafe to drink.
"During our visit, we tested the well water they drink for contaminants and found high levels of bacterial contaminants — something that would never pass WHO [World Health Organization] water quality standards," commented junior Christine Feng, an operations research and financial engineering major.
Showak, who led the project along with Feng, said that the team consisting of about 20 Princeton students and a professional mentor has a number of challenges to address as they begin to design the system. Students are working on designs of wells that are operational all year long and eliminate contamination issues. The group plans to return in August to finalize technical measurements and help with the formation and training of a group of community members who will oversee the project.
"Working on an engineering project halfway around the world is a large undertaking," Showak said. "Luckily, we have great partners within Dorma who are eager to make the partnership work."
The Princeton chapter of Engineers Without Borders was established by two undergraduates in 2004 and has completed projects including a library in Ghana and a sanitation system in Peru. Although many of its 90 members are engineering majors, the chapter draws students from across the University. It is supported by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, Princeton Environmental Institute, Grand Challenges Program and Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies.

What is are the proper rewrite rules, DNS settings, or combination of both which makes each of the below urls redirect seemlessly to
1. _URL_ 2. _URL_ 3. _URL_
The difficulty is really with #3.
_URL_ tends to cause browser security messages. How do the major HTTPS sites do this? Take Paypal.com, for instance.
As some more assistance for item 3, and maybe 2 as well, how about using Server Name Indication to use two certs on the same host. (ie: _URL_ and domain.com) Apache's Wiki has some info on the specifics.

How long do cut tulips last?
Cut tulips last around 5 days. They will continue to open fully throughout their vase life. There are some tips you can try to help them last longer in a vase:
1. Keep your vase topped up with clean, cold water.
2. Keep your room temperature cool.
3. Keep your tulips out of direct sunlight.
How do you prepare tulips for vases?
To prepare your tulips for their vase, follow the simple steps below:
1. Unwrap your flowers and re-cut the stems using a pair of FLOWERBX Floral Scissors, about 2 - 3cm from the bottom at a 45° angle. This encourages water absorption and maximises vase life.
2. Remove excess foliage, the outer leaves and anything else that would sit below the waterline, as this will otherwise create debris build-up in your vase.
3. Next, fill your vase with lukewarm clean water, making sure to refresh it daily, or whenever the water turns murky. Top up with FLOWERBX Flower Food.
How long can cut tulips stay out of water?
Cut tulips cannot stay out of water for very long. Some other floral varieties will last a little longer than others without water, but tulips will not last more than a few hours at the most without water. To prolong life when not in a vase, you can wrap the stems in a wet cloth or paper towel, or attach water sources to the end of the stems.
How do you keep cut tulips from drooping?
To keep tulips from drooping, try some of the following tips!
- Choose young tulips that have closed flower heads.
- Keep your stems in water at all times.
- Always remove leaves below water level.
- Cut your tulip stems at a 45-degree angle to help with water absorption.
- Top up with fresh, cold water and flower food.
- Choose a tall and supportive vase style.
- Avoid heat sources, drafts, and extreme temperatures.

What kind of vase do you use for tulips?
The best kind of vase to use for tulips is one that'll support them from their tallest stem length.
As a rule, your vase should be at least half as tall as your tulip stems. However, you may wish to switch to a shorter vase over time, as you cut your stems down. We would recommend our Royal Windsor Vase, Tall Wickstead Vase, or Wickstead Pot to perfectly showcase your flowers.
What is the most popular tulip colour?
The most popular tulip colour is red or pink. Specifically, the most popular tulip in this shade is the Angelique variety. It's not hard to see why, as it has soft pink flowers in a double tulip style, with an appearance very similar to a peony. You can shop our pink double tulip here
What do different colours of tulips mean
Different tulip colours hold their own meaning, which is particularly important when choosing a gift. All tulips symbolise pure and deep love, with the rarest colour of tulip being black tulips:
Red tulips mean love and romance.
Pink tulips symbolise friendship, care and good wishes.
White tulips show forgiveness and respect, highlighting innocence and purity.
Yellow tulips sybolise happiness, cheer, and brighter days ahead - due to their association with spring and Easter.
Purple tulips symbolise regality, royalty, and rebirth.
Do tulips open up in vase?
Yes! Tulips continue to open in thier vase, and there are ways you can trick tulips into blooming should you need them to look their best for a certain date. A common trick to get your flowers to open quicker is to cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, so that they can absorb the water in the vase faster. You can also prolong your tulips vase life by buying them when they are green and closed, allowing you to watch them open from bud over a longer time.

Nutritionally balanced pizza includes a unique ingredient
Developed by University of Glasgow scientist Mike Lean and entrepreneur Donnie Maclean, the pizza contains the proper proportions of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, salts, sugar, fiber, vitamins and minerals that humans require for a balanced meal. They added locally grown seaweed to the dough to cut down the sodium levels and offer vitamin B12 and iodine, and fortified the pizza with magnesium, potassium, folate and vitamin A, and mixed red peppers into the sauce for extra vitamin C.
Maclean said that a long time was spent in refining the recipes to get the proper nutritional and taste balance. "I'm confident that once they try our pizzas and realize that a balanced meal doesn't have to taste bland or like cardboard, people will happily choose them so that we can make a difference to the nations' health," Maclean added.
Varieties include Cheese and Tomato, Ham and Pineapple, and Spicy Chicken. In talks with a major British supermarket retailer for distribution, they will be commercially launched by Eat Balanced, the firm established by Maclean.

Somewhat new to using standard SQL databases (currently working with MySQL mostly) I haven't run across many usages of this as of yet.
When and why is it useful to have negative (or rather signed) keys indexing a table?

first off, whoever is downvoting without leaving feedback, you're doing a disservice. Next up, the answer to this excellent question. – jcolebrand May 23 '11 at 21:20
This subject is intriguing. I have personally never heard of this concept. This question should never have been downvoted. +1 from me for introducing this concept. – RolandoMySQLDBA May 23 '11 at 21:48

All a primary key is is a value that we have determined is the value that is of utmost importance in a record. Whether that key is a signed int, an unsigned int, a string, a blob (actually, there are limits) or a UUID (or whatever name it takes today), the fact still stands that it is a key, and that it is the thing of utmost importance.
Since we're not constrained to use only positive oriented numbers for our keys, it makes sense to consider that a signed int will only go to ~2 billion, whereas an unsigned int will go to ~4 billion. But there's nothing wrong with using a signed int, setting the initial value to ~ -2 billion and setting an increment of one. After ~2 billion records you'll hit "zero" and then you'll continue to ~2 billion.
As to why it would be helpful to have "negative keys" in a table, that's the same question as "why is it helpful to have keys in a table". The "value" of a key has no impact on its status as a key. A key is a key is a key.
What is important is if the key is valid.
As to why it would be useful to allow keys that were negative, I can suggest some reasons:
What if you wanted to indicate returns in a sales system as negative sales order numbers, that matched the positive sales order number, thus making correlation easy (this is naive, and poorly designed, but it would work in a "spreadsheet" sense).
What if you wanted to have a users table, and indicate that the ones with negative numbers were system controlled (SO does this very thing, for chat feed users).
I could go on, but really the only reason why the number being negative is of importance is if you or I assign importance to it. Aside from that, there is no great reason for the value of a key to have any bearing on the key itself.

Edited out the 'niche occurrence' bit, as it is more than likely a misunderstanding due to inexperience. Interesting read. I was somewhat imagining there would be a situation where the negative value of the key was somehow useful in coding (i,e without deciding it means a particular thing) but this is very useful thinking when you have a strong division into two groups and don't want to use an extra bool :p – Garet Claborn May 23 '11 at 21:41
_USER_ ~ So you make a good point: "the value of the key was somehow useful in coding" and I do make use of my keys from time to time in just that manner, but that has nothing to do with the database aspect. The database is a storehouse. The application that consumes the data, on the other hand, cares about the values. But yeah, that +/- boolean is a neat trick, I've seen it used many a time for just such an effect. – jcolebrand May 23 '11 at 22:02
-1 for implying that dual purposing values like this is anything other than a bad idea. You need an int and a bool? Use an int and a bool. – Jack Douglas May 24 '11 at 6:24
_USER_ I don't recall encouraging people to do that, I strictly recall implying that the field and it's data are two different things. Thanks for at least offering constructive feedback on your downvote, but I can't say that that observation means anything in light of the concept of the "what are negative keys used for" since that is an application logic problem, not a database layer problem. I did want to highlight how those things are used in the application layer, but in the database layer they don't have any significance. – jcolebrand May 24 '11 at 6:33
"What if you wanted to have a users table, and indicate that the ones with negative numbers were system controlled" - sounded like an endorsement to me. If it wasn't meant to be perhaps you could re-word and I'll be very happy to remove the down-vote. – Jack Douglas May 24 '11 at 6:49
If we're on about identity or autonumber columns, the value itself should have no meaning. (sometimes it does, as per SO's chat users nentioned by drachenstern, which I've done before myself)
However, generally you'd lose half of your range if you're using signed integers.
See: What to do when a field in a table approaches the max signed or unsigned 32 bit integer?
Another example: In small replication scenarios, using negative values for one site and positive for another gives some implicit knowledge of the source of any given row.
share|improve this answer
and make sure you are somehow constraining the values input at each site otherwise you will end up in a horrible mess when your "implicit knowledge" turns out to be wrong. – Jack Douglas May 24 '11 at 6:26
_USER_: you'd use NOT FOR REPLICATION to avoid generating values on the wrong site – gbn May 24 '11 at 6:55
along with check constraints? Also, is there a MySQL (or other) analog of NOT FOR REPLICATION that you know? – Jack Douglas May 24 '11 at 7:06
_USER_: sorry, not sure about non SQL Server – gbn May 24 '11 at 7:45
+1 for giving a practical use of unsigned primary keys. – StanleyJohns May 25 '11 at 14:41
Not all database systems even support unsigned integer types, MSSQL being one of those that doesn't. In these cases negative values are possible in integer key fields simply because they are possible in the type (you could use rules or triggers to block them, as shown in this example, but there is probably no need add the overhead of enforcing such rules to every inters/update).
As far as the database is concerned the actual value of a primary key does not matter as long as it is unique within the table. To it -42 and 42 are just two different numbers in the same way 42 and 69 are - meaning will only be imparted on the negativeness or not of the value by your code.
Not supporting unsigned integer types is probably a design decision based on reducing complexity - i.e. not wanting two different 32 bit integer type to worry about checking ranges on when assigning values between them. It does limit the number of indexes possible in an auto increment field starting an 0 or 1 to half what would be possible in an unsigned type (~2e9 rather than ~4e9) but this is rarely a significant issue (if you are likely to need a number of key values of that magnitude you probably went for a 64-bit type anyway especially if using a 64-bit architecture where such values are processed no less efficiently then 32-bit ones) though if you might want the full range and need to stick to 32-bit for space reasons you could start the increment at -2,147,483,647.

Yup, I think we've covered that ground before ;) tehehe dba.stackexchange.com/questions/983/… – jcolebrand May 24 '11 at 14:40
tinyint is unsigned (0.. 255). I usually create a check constraint on integer columns to ensure values are nonnegative, since inevitably code will be written that implicitly assumes it and strange bugs will arise if somehow a negative value creeps in. – Ed Avis Aug 16 at 13:20

in 2008, architect ryue nishizawa completed a contemporary art museum and cultural complex designed to revitalize the japanese city of towada. the institution, known as the towada art center, houses a permanent collection of 38 commissioned works, all created exclusively for the museum by renowned artists from japan and abroad, including ron mueck, yayoi kusama, and yoko ono. eights years after its opening, designboom takes a closer look at the cultural complex. images courtesy of towada art center.
as the towada art center works with the community to support a variety of cultural programs, it was important that the building remained as transparent and accessible as possible. 'this building, as an integral part of the concept of transforming the entire kanchogaidori avenue into an art museum, inevitably needs to be open and approachable', explains ryue nishizawa. 'the activities happening within the building must continue seamlessly onto the street outside.'
to achieve this, the galleries have been divided into separate entities and randomly distributed throughout the facility. this allows indoor exhibition rooms to blend with outdoor art spaces. separating the galleries also enables each space to individually present its artwork, evoking a sense of intimacy and synchronicity within each room. this gesture was derived from towada's kanchogaidori avenue, where the street's buildings coexist with open space.
connected by glazed passageways, the assortment of pavilions includes permanent galleries, collaborative space, and a café, as well as other areas that incorporate the community into activities. the design also provides space for outdoor exhibitions and events, making it possible for visitors to simultaneously experience indoor and outdoor art.
the juxtaposition of solid and void, and large and small volumes, is continued throughout the building — allowing the architecture to exist in harmony with both smaller pieces of artwork, as well as the urban scale of the neighborhood. exhibition spaces with large glazed façades present the gallery's work to passersby, reaffirming the museum's vision that its art is intended for the entire city.


Towards an EU import ban on forced labour: new study
The European Parliament has called for a new EU instrument that allows for import bans on products related to severe human rights violations such as forced labour or child labour. This tool could be a complementary measure to the EU legislation on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence along supply chains which is currently being developed. The landmark due diligence law is expected to introduce requirements for all companies operating in the EU to take steps to prevent and address human rights and environmental harm along their value chains. The law should also give victims possibility to bring companies to court in Europe when harm occurs. However, certain products stemming from severe human rights violations should not enter the EU market at all. Therefore, in addition to this upcoming due diligence law which is focused on company behaviour, a related instrument that focuses on products is needed, allowing for restrictions or bans.
In this paper, we examine different options for an EU mechanism. In particular, we consider whether the import bans could be introduced via:
 - o EU foreign policy, i.e. the new EU Human Rights Sanctions mechanism
 - o amending our Free Trade Agreements and other trade mechanisms
 - o a new Internal Market instrument
 - o a new instrument with a trade legal basis
A brief examination of each option's pros and cons leads to the conclusion that a new EU instrument with a trade legal basis would be preferred. Such instrument could draw heavily on previous instruments such as the Regulation protecting intellectual property rights. A deeper evaluation and analysis of what works well and what doesn't (e.g. the absence of remediation required) in the US Tariff Act can lead to more detailed options for an EU approach.
The import ban instrument would be a complementary measure to the upcoming EU due diligence law, giving the EU an additional tool to guarantee that no products being sold in the EU are tainted with grave human rights abuses. It would allow us to immediately stop goods at our borders when we have reasonable suspicion that they are made with forced labour. The onus would then be on the company in question to prove that this is not the case, or to take action to remedy the situation on the ground before these products are allowed in again.
Experience from the US shows that such bans can be extremely effective and lead quickly to remedy for workers. However, we need to learn from the lessons of the US approach regarding the things that have not worked so well: we need do it in a more transparent, remedy-centred way, that focuses on the impacts for people, and is not a hidden protectionist tool. Conditionality for the lifting of bans or easing of restrictions should always be that companies take measure to improve the situation on the ground; in this regard the remediation of victims should always be prioritized. The instrument needs to be therefore carefully designed and applied.

what is Roller chains
Roller chain is a steel linked chain that utilizes roller bushings at each connecting link. The bushings aid the chain in riding smoothly around a sprocket and give the chain long life as well as strength. Roller chain is commonly found on bicycles and farming machinery and is also a primary component in automobile transmissions and transfer cases. Some high-performance types of roller chain use small rubber O-rings at each end of the bushings to aid in the retention of oil, which helps keep the chain in peak condition.
There are many types of roller chain, each intended for a specific purpose. In the U.S., roller chain is sized by the American National Standards Institute or ANSI with the most common sizes being 40, 50 and 60. The size of the chain is reflective of the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch (0.3175 centimeters), this is denoted by the first digit, and the final digit noting the strength of the chain. While 0 represents standard chain and 1 represents lightweight chain, 5 is used to show bushed chain with no rollers. This means that a standard bicycle chain with a half-inch (1.27 centimeters) pitch would be a size 40 chain.
The typical roller chain is comprised of links that are fused together by pins. The pins are driven through the ends of each link and held in place by friction. Each chain is connected at the ends to form a complete circle or chain loop by a master link. The master link is a link of chain that uses a clip to hold the sides in place rather than being a friction fit. Roller chain can be shortened by removing links with a chain breaking tool and lengthened by adding whole or a half links.
Lubrication and proper tension is critical to assure long life for any roller chain. A chain should never be run tight. There should always be a slight amount of slack in a properly adjusted chain. The school of thought is approximately 2 percent to 4 percent of the distance between the centers of the sprockets. Clean, light-weight oil should be used to keep the chain properly lubricated.
The various uses for roller chain include not only bicycles, but conveyors, automobile timing chains and chain saws. By attaching tiny cutting teeth to a chain, a chain saw is able to cut its way through a tree in a rapid manner. In another application, small lengths of chain are attached to a handle, allowing plumbers to grip and twist pipe sections.

Elise Janis was a singing and dancing star of Broadway and London musicals and the advanced areas of World War I.
Born Elsie Janis Bierbower in Columbus, Ohio, in 1889, she soon became a child star at the age of 8, billed as Little Elsie and playing Little Lord Fauntleroy roles. Three years later, she made her Broadway debut in the old Casino Theater Roof Garden. For several years she toured the nation in vaudeville as a teenage headliner. She delighted audiences with her great gift of mimicry imitating Sarah Bernhardt, John Barrymore and other matinee idols of the day.
In 1906, Janis became the toast of Broadway in "The Vanderbilt Cup," her first great success.
She made her London debut in 1914 in "The Passing Show" and won over English audiences as the first shots were fired in World War I. She was deeply stirred by the war. Her fiance, British actor Basil Hallam, was killed in the first months of the conflict when he jumped from a balloon and his parachute failed to open.
After the U.S. entered the war, she became the first American entertainer to go to France. She and her mother had passes to the advanced areas and for nine months she sang and danced for soldiers where she found them. The doughboys worshiped her and crowned her the Sweetheart of the AEF.
She was a movie pioneer, writing and starring in such early silent hits as "The Regular Girl" and "The Imp."
Her devotion to her mother was known throughout show business and she refused to marry until after her mother's death in 1932. On New Year's Eve of that year, Janis made headlines by marrying a man 16 years her junior, Gilbert Wilson.
Janis published magazine articles, books and an autobiography. She also composed more than 50 songs.
During World War II, she was again drawn to American soldiers and was a frequent visitor to the bedsides at the Veterans Hospital on Sawtelle Avenue in West L.A.
Mary Pickford, who was at the bedside of Janis when death came said, "This ends the vaudevillian era." Pickford added, "She was certainly one of the greatest entertainers of all time."

Simply select a location from the list. Then choose the parameter that you want to have being displayed (e.g. maximum or minimum temperature or precipitation) from the list at the left input field. Please use the other input fields to select the desired time-period (between 4 and 52 weeks) and the year and month you want to start from.
Was it a warm or wet summer? April too cool? Have a look at our monthly summaries!
you would like to see the curve of the daily maximum temperature in London for the time-period between August 1998 and August 1999.
First, select the location 'London' from the list at the right. The location London is represented by the weather station at London-Heathrow. Therefore, strictly speaking, the curve you'll get is the daily maximum temperature at London-Heathrow. As this is the case for many locations the name of the actually reporting weather station will always be shown in graph's title. The maximum temperature, a time period of 4 weeks and the present month and year are set by default. Therefore you only have to change the time-period to 52 weeks and to select the starting month and year. In this case August 1998. Submit your settings with 'Go' and your requested curve will be produced.
