How Noisy is Your College Campus?
Ranking College Campus Noise
Just how loud is your college campus? No, we are not talking about your neighbors. We are asking the question in a broader sense to determine how loud a college campus gets given its geographic location. Whether you are thinking about attending a state university or private college, understanding the noise levels in your community will help you better navigate life in and around campus.
The Data Behind the Noise
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) recently published an interactive map answering the very question at hand. The map uses a 24-hour equivalent sound level noise metric that includes all overt and ambient noise at a defined noise receptor. The noise levels shown on the map denote an approximate average noise energy produced from road transportation and aviation along with other noise-producing modalities. The interactive map data is culled from a number of different government agencies from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) to triangulate noise for a given locale.
Which city was ranked highest for noise?
If you guessed the city with the highest noise rating was Los Angeles, you would be correct. The map below gives users a quick overview of the greater Los Angeles area where the deep red hue indicates the highest levels of noise. According to NPR, Los Angeles was ranked first in the nation for traffic congestion resulting in an additional 170 hours spent sitting in traffic.

How much noise does your college campus generate?
To find out, simply utilize the USDOT's interactive map to help figure out the noise energy being produced in and around your campus. A noise index can be used by current and prospective college students to assess variables involved in their college experience. Much like the utilization of a WalkScore, the USDOT's interactive noise map is another tool available at your disposal.

Some Nigerians have proposed a reduction of the 2017 National Assembly budget from the approved N125 billion to N52,490,951,173.
In response to the publication of the National Assembly budget, BudgIT and EiENigeria recently invited citizens to the â€œ#OpenNASS Datathonâ€ on May 20, 2017 with the objective of developing a lean and effective budget for the National Assembly as a standard for Nigeria to reduce the cost of governance.
In reaching the final sum, participants took into account all affiliated institutions, overhead costs, maintenance costs, personnel, research costs and all the line items contained in the 2017 National Assembly budget.
According to a statement yesterday, in suggesting the leaner and more effective budget, the participants noticed the repeated allocations made to each of the Senate, House of Representatives, National Institute of Legislative Studies, National Assembly Service Commission and the Public Accounts Committee (Senate and House of Representatives) for purchase of stationery and computer consumables; training, travel, purchase of motor vehicle, maintenance of the National Assembly buildings and other items.
To this end, they argued that several overhead items which accounted for 50 per cent of the National Assembly budget could be centralised in the General Services Unit for efficiency.
â€œThe final budget is not without context as citizens observed that N5.2 billion was budgeted for University of Abuja and the National Hospital is due to receive N7.6 billion in 2017. We ask that the reduction of national Assembly spending should continue as acquisition of certain items during the current fiscal year will no longer needed to be added in future budgets.
â€œThese rationales are informed by publicly available knowledge of the activities of the National Assembly, its supporting commissions and current prices of proposed items in the free market.
â€œIn addition, certain items were stripped from the budget for various reasons including duplication of line items and repurchase of already existing items such as cars and furniture which, from publicly available information, were included in the 2016 National Assembly budget,â€ the report added.
Furthermore, the statement pointed out that beyond revising of the National Assembly budget, BudgIT and EiENigeria would send copies of the recommended budget to National Assembly management and the Acting President for consideration as regards the 2017 budget.

This is Theorem of Three Perpendiculars, How to prove variation of it for N dimensional case (or to prove that it is false)?
Let $\mathbb{R}^N$ is N dimensional Euclidean space and $h_1, h_2$ are two intersecting hyperplanes (each has dimension N-1), $\mathbb{S}$ is intersection of hyperplanes $h_1$ and $h_2$. Let $x_1$ is a point at $h_1$, $x_2$ is an orthogonal projection of $x_1$ to the second hyperplane $h_2$, $x_1^p$ is an orthogonal projection of point $x_1$ to $\mathbb{S}$, $x_2^p$ is orthogonal projection of $x_2$ to $\mathbb{S}$.
How to prove that $x_1^p$ is equal $x_2^p$?
share|cite|improve this question
1 Answer 1
Okay, I write solution I have just found.
Hyperplane $h_1$ is $\{x| a_1^Tx +b_1 = 0\}$, for some vector $a_1$ and number $b_1$. Similar $h_2 = \{x| a_1^Tx + b_2 = 0\}$. Intersection set is defined as $\mathbb{S} = \{x|a_1^Tx +b_1 = 0, and\ a_1^Tx + b_2 = 0\}$.
Projection point $x_1^p$ is a solution of next optimization problem: $x_1^p = \arg\max ||x-x_1||^2,\ with\ respect\ to\ x\in\mathbb{S}$.
Similarly, $x_2^p = \arg\max ||x-x_2||^2,\ with\ respect\ to\ x\in\mathbb{S}$.
Because $x_2$ is a projection of $x_1$ in $h_2$, we have $x_2-x_1 = \alpha a_2$, where $\alpha$ is some scalar.
Next step is $||x - x_2||^2 = ||x - x_1 - \alpha a_2|| ^2 = ||x - x_1|| - 2((x - x_1)\cdot \alpha a_2) + ||\alpha a_2||^2 = ||x-x_1|| ^2 + const$, where we used that $x^Ta_2 = b_2$ because of the constraint set.
So, essentially optimization problems are the same, which means that points $x_1^p$ and $x_2^p$ coincide.
Do you like the proof?

What do bile acid binders do?
What do bile acid binders do?
Bile acid sequestrants are medicines that help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol. Too much cholesterol in your blood can stick to the walls of your arteries and narrow or block them. These medicines work by blocking bile acid in your stomach from being absorbed in your blood.
What are the side effects of bile acid binding resins?
Since bile acid sequestrants are not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, they have limited systemic side effects. Some of the most common adverse effects are gastrointestinal, including constipation, stomach pain, bloating, vomiting, heartburn, loss of appetite, indigestion, and upset stomach.
Which of the following is an example of bile acid binding resins?
Three bile acid sequestrants are available in the United States (common brand name and year of approval): cholestyramine (Questran, 1973), colesevelam (Welchol, 2000) and colestipol (Colestid, 1977).
What does a sequestrant do?
A sequestrant is a food additive which improves the quality and stability of foods. A sequestrant forms chelate complexes with polyvalent metal ions, especially copper, iron and nickel, which can prevent the oxidation of the fats in the food. Sequestrants are a type of preservative.
Should you take bile salts after gallbladder removal?
For anyone that has had their gallbladder removed it is absolutely imperative they take a supplement that contains bile salts with all future meals that contain fat to allow for proper digestion.
What causes bile in your stool?
Other conditions that may lead to bile acid diarrhoea include having your gallbladder removed (cholecystectomy), coeliac disease, diseases affecting the pancreas, and after radiotherapy. Bile acid diarrhoea may also be caused by some medications, including metformin, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes.
How do a bile acid binding resin lower cholesterol?
Bile acid sequestrants or resins are medications for lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol often called "bad" cholesterol in the blood. They bind to bile acids and prevent reabsorption of bile acids in the intestines.
Why do bile acid resins cause constipation?
Long-term use of cholestyramine may cause a deficiency of vitamin A, D, E, and K. Constipation can be an important side effect of cholestyramine, perhaps because the presence of free bile acids in the intestine helps determine the amount of water in stool, and cholestyramine binds the free bile acids.
What does bile look like in stool?
Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile — a yellow-green fluid that digests fats — in your stool. As bile pigments travel through your gastrointestinal tract, they are chemically altered by enzymes, changing the pigments from green to brown.
What supplements should I take after having my gallbladder removed?
Take an ox bile supplement. This is the most important recommendation for people who have lost their gallbladder. A lack of bile can produce symptoms such as bloating and indigestion after meals, light colored stools, diarrhea, fatigue after meals and nutrient deficiencies.
What happens if you have too much bile in your stomach?
Excess bile acids entering the colon can cause the classic signs and symptoms of bile acid malabsorption (BAM), including watery stool, urgency and fecal incontinence. Although BAM has been associated with diarrhea for nearly 50 years, it remains an underrecognized and underdiagnosed cause of chronic diarrhea.
Can too much bile cause high cholesterol?
Your body makes a certain amount of cholesterol that it needs to function, but eating too many foods high in saturated fats can increase your cholesterol to a level dangerous to your health. Pigment gallstones are brown or black and occur when your bile contains an excess of bilirubin.

This report from UK NGO Sustain examines how a proposed trade deal between the UK and Brazil - on which discussions are still only in the early stages - might increase harm caused by pesticides. Pesticide regulations have weakened since Bolsonaro took power in 2019, with harm to environmental or human health no longer informing whether a pesticide should be approved for use.
The concerns raised by the report are:
- Food imported from Brazil may have higher levels of pesticide residues; since some pesticides used in Brazil are currently banned in the UK, UK pesticide regulations might be weakened to allow more food imports from Brazil.
- British farmers may come under pressure to use higher levels of pesticides to compete with Brazilian production.
- A trade deal could see increased exports of meat and soy from Brazil, potentially driving ecosystem destruction in Brazil as well as harm to people, e.g. from exposure to pesticides in drinking water or from aerial spraying.
- A trade deal could undermine recent UK commitments on food standards and deforestation.

Purpose of the FLEX
Bold developed the FLEX (Flare Extinguisher) as a solution to decrease emissions on H2S treating locations during preventative maintenance or any upset scenario. The FLEX is a trailer mounted horizontal treater filled with a static bed of SGT-281. The FLEX can be included as part of the initial installation at the production facility or can easily be transferred in and out as needed.
Preventative maintenance is needed periodically on all equipment operated with non-regenerative H2S scavengers to remove byproducts and any contaminants from the vessel. Routine preventative maintenance also ensures maximum treating efficiency throughout operations. Our team has optimized the time between maintenance specifically for our equipment. The frequency between maintenance dates is based on the pounds of sulfur produced by the well and size of Bold's Continuous Treating Systems (CTS) or other H2S scavenging equipment that is treating the gas.
Bold forecasts maintenance dates based on operating conditions, which helps our customers with budgeting for the year. At the time of maintenance, the FLEX is mobilized to location, if not already installed, and placed in series to Bold's permanent H2S treating vessel, the CTS. The sour gas flows through both the CTS in series with the FLEX. Once the FLEX bed temperature is equalized with the CTS bed temperature, the CTS is bypassed and treating continues through the FLEX. The CTS is then depressurized, and the preventative maintenance process begins. Once completed, the process is reversed, the CTS is put back in service, and the FLEX is bypassed.
Impact of the FLEX on Customers
When a traditional preventative maintenance is needed, the customer must bypass the H2S treating vessel and send the sour gas to flare. Our FLEX solution allows customers to continue to sell gas throughout the maintenance process without sending sour gas to flare. This accomplishes four things:
- Increased revenue from selling gas during maintenance
- Decreased emissions
- More predictable production forecast
- Savings on permits needed to flare gas
Below is an example of a Bold treating application with the simulated emissions eliminated. The operating conditions and gas analysis used in the simulation are from one of Bold's treating sites in the Permian Basin.
Table 1. A treating application for Bold
|Gas flow rate||1.5 MMSCFD|
|H2S concentration||3,800 ppm|
|Bold's leased equipment||72" CTS|
|SGT-281 pump rate||473 gallons per day|
Bold's 72" CTS can remove 25,000 pounds of sulfur from a gas stream before needing maintenance. In this application, the 72" CTS would need maintenance approximately every 2 months assuming no production upsets or other downtime from the well or pipeline.
A typical maintenance of a 72" CTS takes 12-48 hours. This entire maintenance period lasted approximately 24 hours from initial bypass into the FLEX to bringing the CTS back into full service. The simulated emissions assumed a flare combustion rate of 98%. Without the FLEX, the gas would be sent to flare which would result in the following emissions:
Table 2. Emissions Saved using the FLEX
|Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)||535||Lb/day|
|Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)||2.433 * 105||Lb/day|
The total emissions eliminated using the FLEX was 245,552 lbs. for this maintenance cycle.
Assuming 6 preventative maintenance events throughout the year, this results in 736 tons of emissions saved per year.
Other than decreasing emissions, the FLEX also increases revenue from selling gas during maintenance. At $4 / MMBtu and a gas flow rate of 1.5 MMSCFD, the FLEX resulted in $6,240 of revenue in additional gas sales for that 24 hour maintenance period.


Alfred Nobel | 10 Facts On The Man Behind The Nobel Prizes
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist and innovator who made a large fortune mostly through his invention of dynamite and other type of explosives. Here are 10 interesting facts about the life, achievements and inventions of the man who is responsible for the Nobel Prizes.
#1 His father Immanuel Nobel was a skilled engineer and inventor
Alfred Nobel was born on October 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the fourth of eight children of Immanuel Nobel and Carolina Andriette Nobel. Immanuel Nobel is known for being the inventor of the rotary lathe which is used in manufacturing modern plywood. When Alfred was young his family moved to Saint Petersburg in Russia where his father became successful as a manufacturer of machine tools and explosives.
Immanuel Nobel
Alfred's father Immanuel Nobel
#2 He was very interested in the study of explosives
Alfred left Russia at the age of 18. He studied chemistry for a year in Paris and then for four years in the United States. Alfred was interested in nitroglycerin, a highly explosive liquid too dangerous for practical use. When he returned to Russia after his studies, Alfred worked together with his father to develop nitroglycerin as a commercially useful substance.
Alfred Nobel Young

#3 His brother Emil died due to an explosion caused by nitroglycerin
In 1863, Alfred Nobel and his parents returned to Sweden. On 3 September 1864, when Alfred was 29, a huge explosion due to nitroglycerin in the family's Swedish factory killed five people, including Alfred's younger brother Emil. This however didn't deter Nobel from continuing with his study of explosives, especially of the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerin.
Emil Nobel

#4 Alfred Nobel is the inventor of dynamite
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in Geesthacht, Germany and patented it in 1867. It was the first safely manageable explosive. In dynamite, nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance which made it safer and easier to handle. Initially Nobel considered naming it "Nobel's Safety Powder" but ultimately named it after the Greek word for 'power', Dynamite.
#5 He earned a lot of money through his invention of Gelignite
Nobel went on to combine nitroglycerin with other compounds. In 1875 he invented Gelignite or blasting gelatin which was easily moldable, safer to handle without protection and a more powerful explosive than dynamite. Patented in 1876, Gelignite was adopted as the standard technology for mining in the Age of Engineering bringing Nobel a great amount of financial success.
#6 Alfred Nobel held 350 patents and established 90 armaments factories
During his life Nobel issued 350 patents internationally. He filed his first patent in 1857 for a gas meter. His inventions include detonator, blasting cap and ballistite, the precursor of many modern smokeless powder explosives and still used as a rocket propellant. Nobel also established 90 armaments factories by the time of his death. He owned Bofors and was the founder of the chemical and weapons company Dynamit Nobel.
#7 Alfred Nobel was called the Merchant of Death
In 1888, Alfred's brother Ludvig died while he was in France and a French newspaper erroneously published the obituary of Alfred instead. Titled "The Merchant of Death is Dead", it went on to say "Dr Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday." Nobel was nicknamed the Merchant of Death because he made his fortune through explosives, which were also used for warfare.

#8 Alfred established the Nobel Prizes through his will
After reading his own obituary, Nobel became concerned about how he would be remembered after his death. On 27 November 1895, Nobel signed his last will which left 94% of his total assets, 31,225,000 Swedish kronor (equivalent to 250 million U.S. dollars in 2008), to establish the five Nobel Prizes for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature, and for working toward peace.

#9 His ex-lover Bertha Kinsky convinced him to include the peace prize
Although Nobel was briefly involved with Bertha Kinsky, who went on to marry Baron Arthur Gundaccar von Suttner. Kinsky corresponded with Nobel till his death and it is believed that she was a major influence in Nobel's decision to include a peace prize among the prizes in his will. She went on to become the first female recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905.

#10 The synthetic element nobelium is named after him
Alfred Nobel died of a stroke on December 10, 1896, in San Remo, Italy. Though he had a few love relationships, he never married. Just before his death, he wrote a tragic play titled Nemesis. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, 5 years after his death. The synthetic element nobelium is named after him. The Monument to Alfred Nobel was created in his honor in Saint Petersburg.

How To Write A Fugue
A fugue is a piece of music of contrapuntal texture which is predominantly based on one theme called the subject. It's important to note that a fugue isn't really a form, it is a way of presenting a contrapuntal texture.
Consider picking up The Study of Fugue if you want the definitive comprehensive guide.
A fugue has three main sections, the Exposition, the Middle Section (sometimes referred to as the modulating section) and the Final Section. The sections in a fugue refer to contrasts in key rather than theme.
 - The exposition begins the fugue and a single voice plays the subject establishing the tonic key. Another voice enters with the answer which is the subject transposed up a perfect 5th (or down a perfect 4th) into the dominant key. As the second voice plays the answer the first voice can play either a free part against it or a counter-subject.
 - The middle section consists of entries of subject and answer in keys other than the tonic separated by episodes. An episode is a modulating link between the entries of the subject and answer to make a change from continual reiteration of the subject. They are usually based on a figure from the subject or counter-subject.
 - The final section begins where the subject or answer returns in the tonic key. The section will contain at least one entry of the subject in the tonic and will usually end with a coda (which can vary from a few notes to a few bars).
Here is an example of a fugue structure:
Fugue Infograph
During the middle and final sections, various "fugal devices" may appear. They are:
 - Stretto
 - Augmentation of the subject
 - Diminution of the subject
 - Inverse movement
Stretto occurs when entries of subject and answer overlap each other, the second beginning before the first is finished. A close stretto is one in which the overlapping is considerable.
Augmentation of the subject means statement of it in notes of greater value, usually double.
Diminution of the subject means statement of it in notes of smaller value, usually half.
Inverse movement means statement of the subject upside-down, upward intervals become downwards ones and vice versa. This is sometimes called "Inversion" but "Inverse Movement" is a preferable term since it avoids any possible confusion with inversion of subject and counter-subject.
These devices can be used in combination, e.g. the subject can appear simultaneously in Augmentation and Inverse movement (its notes are twice as long and upside-down).
Utilizing the techniques above and the example structure you'll be on your way to writing your first Fugue. In the future we'll be giving a step by step guide to writing your fugue beginning with constructing your subject. Stay tuned!

Over the last decade or so under the Howard Government, there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the unauthorised arrival of asylum seekers. In this study, we analysed data collected from 602 Western Australians. We investigated why people think the way they do about asylum seekers using the function of attitude literature as a base; specifically participants' values, their experience with asylum seekers, and their reliance on other sources for information. Results indicated that the Perth community overwhelmingly based their attitudes (positive or negative) on their values. Finally, we integrate these findings with other research regarding prejudice against asylum seekers, and give suggestions for attempting to present an alternative – more positive – view of asylum seekers than that often given.

The dialectic of IT chargeback systems
Many organisations have adopted chargeback systems whereby users are charged for the IT resources which they use. The purpose is to control the costs of information technology. Chargeback systems have recently received a resurgence of interest with the rapid change in IT. Many writers are currently advocating chargeback systems to control the escalating costs. Chargeback systems are expected to increase user awareness of IT costs, and thereby, improve decision-making and effectiveness of Information Technology. Many organisations have never adopted chargeback systems. They have used other management techniques for controlling IT costs. Chargeback systems have been controversial since the earliest computer applications. The current environment has added new issues which have provoked discussion. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of chargeback systems. The emphasis is on new issues which have arisen due to the changing technological environment. The dimensions which frame the discussion are the evolving empowerment of users, complexity of systems, and the cost structure. Recommendations are made for effectively using chargeback systems alternatives.

 192192This does not seem to work in all cases. What you can do if it does not:
 193 * Try using '<LocationMatch>' instead of '<Location>'
 194 * <Location /> may, in your server setup, refer to the complete host instead of simple the root of the server. This means that everything (including the login directory referenced below) will be sent to python and authentication does not work (i.e. you get the infamous Authentication information missing error). If this applies to you, try using a sub-directory for trac instead of the root (i.e. /web/ and /web/login instead of / and /login).
 193 * Try using '<LocationMatch>' instead of '<Location>'.

If this is the case, try using a sub-directory for Trac instead of the root, ie /web/ and /web/login instead of / and /login.
 195195 * Depending on apache's 'NameVirtualHost' configuration, you may need to use '<VirtualHost *:80>' instead of '<VirtualHost *>'.
 196196
 197 For a virtual host that supports multiple projects replace "'TracEnv'" /var/trac/myproject with "'TracEnvParentDir'" /var/trac/
 198
 199 Note: !DocumentRoot should not point to your Trac project env. As Asmodai wrote on #trac: "suppose there's a webserver bug that allows disclosure of !DocumentRoot they could then leech the entire Trac environment".

 248247This problem will most certainly hit you on Unix when using Python 2.4.
 249 In Python 2.4, some version of Expat (an XML parser library written in C) is used,
 250 and if Apache is using another version, this results in segmentation faults.
 251 As Trac 0.11 is using Genshi, which will indirectly use Expat, that problem
 252 can now hit you even if everything was working fine before with Trac 0.10.

Perform an upgrade
You can upgrade your Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source application from the command line if you installed the software by:
 - Downloading the metapackage using the composer create-project command.
 - Installing the compressed archive.
NOTE
Do not use this method to upgrade if you cloned the GitHub repository. Instead, see Upgrade a git-based installation for upgrade instructions.
The following instructions show you how to upgrade using Composer. Adobe Commerce 2.4.2 introduced support for Composer 2. If you are attempting to upgrade from <2.4.1, you must first upgrade to a version that is compatible with Composer 2 (for example, 2.4.2) using Composer 1 before upgrading to Composer 2 for >2.4.2 upgrades. In addition, you must be running a supported version of PHP.
WARNING
The procedure for upgrading Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source has changed. You must install a new version of the magento/composer-root-update-plugin package (see prerequisites). In addition, the commands for upgrading have changed from composer require magento/<package_name> to composer require-commerce magento/<package_name>.
Before you begin
You must complete the upgrade prerequisites to prepare your environment before starting the upgrade process.
Manage packages
NOTE
See the examples at the end of this section for help with specifying different release levels. For example, minor release, quality patch, and security patch. Adobe Commerce customers can access patches two weeks before the General Availability (GA) date. Pre-release packages are available through Composer only. You cannot find them on the Downloads Portal or GitHub until GA. If you cannot find these packages in Composer, contact Adobe Commerce Support.
 1. Switch to maintenance mode to prevent access to your store during the upgrade process.
 bin/magento maintenance:enable

 See Enable or disable maintenance mode for additional options. Optionally, you can create a custom maintenance mode page.
 2. Create a backup of the composer.json file.
 cp composer.json composer.json.bak

 3. Add or remove specific packages based on your needs.
 For example, if you are upgrading from Magento Open Source to Adobe Commerce, remove the Magento Open Source package.
 composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update

 You can also upgrade sample data.
 composer require <sample data module-1>:<version> ... <sample data module-n>:<version> --no-update

 - Adobe Commerce:
 composer require magento/module-bundle-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-widget-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-theme-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-cms-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-review-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-tax-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-grouped-product-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-downloadable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-msrp-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-configurable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-product-links-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-swatches-sample-data:100.4.* magento/sample-data-media:100.4.* magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-gift-card-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-balance-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-target-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-gift-registry-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-multiple-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* --no-update

 - Magento Open Source:
 composer require magento/module-bundle-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-widget-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-theme-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-cms-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-review-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-tax-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-grouped-product-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-downloadable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-msrp-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-configurable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-product-links-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-swatches-sample-data:100.4.* magento/sample-data-media:100.4.* magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data:100.4.* --no-update

 4. Upgrade your instance using the following composer require-commerce command syntax:
 composer require-commerce magento/<product> <version> --no-update [--interactive-root-conflicts] [--force-root-updates] [--help]

 Command options include:
 - <product> —(Required) The package to upgrade. For on-premises installations, this value must be either product-community-edition or product-enterprise-edition.
 - <version> —(Required) The version of Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source you are upgrading to. For example, 2.4.3.
 - --no-update —(Required) Disables the automatic update of the dependencies.
 - --interactive-root-conflicts —(Optional) Allows you to interactively view and update any out-of-date values from previous versions, or any customized values that do not match the version you are upgrading to.
 - --force-root-updates —(Optional) Overrides all conflicting custom values with the expected Magento values.
 - --help —(Optional) Provides usage details about the plugin.
 If neither --interactive-root-conflicts nor --force-root-updates are specified, the command keeps the existing values that are in conflict and displays a warning message. To learn more about the plugin, refer to the Plugin Usage README.
 5. Update the dependencies.
 composer update

Example - list available versions
To see the full list of available 2.4.x versions:
Magento Open Source:
composer show magento/product-community-edition 2.4.* --available | grep -m 1 versions
Adobe Commerce:
composer show magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.* --available | grep -m 1 versions
Example - Minor release
Minor releases contain new features, quality fixes, and security fixes. Use Composer to specify a minor release. For example, to specify the Magento Open Source 2.4.3 metapackage:
Magento Open Source:
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.0 --no-update
Adobe Commerce:
composer require-commerce magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.0 --no-update
Example - Quality patch
Quality patches primarily contain functional and security fixes. However, they can sometimes contain new, backward-compatible features. Use Composer to download a quality patch. For example, to specify the Magento Open Source 2.4.1 metapackage:
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3 --no-update
Magento Open Source:
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3 --no-update
Adobe Commerce:
composer require-commerce magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.3 --no-update
Example - Security patch
Security patches contain security fixes only. They are designed to make the upgrade process faster and easier.
Security patches use the Composer naming convention 2.4.x-px. Use Composer to specify a patch.
Magento Open Source:
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3-p1 --no-update
Adobe Commerce:
composer require-commerce magento/product

Saturday, Peggy Fletcher Stack, from the Salt Lake Tribune, reported that the number of baptisms per missionary dropped from five per missionary to 3.5 per missionary. This drop corresponds with the huge influx in new missionaries, so convert baptisms didn't drop (in fact they went up 4%), but the per missionary numbers did. This Week in Mormons published this informative chart to illustrate the various numbers.
Matt Martinich from the blog LDS Church Growth believes the reason for the modest returns is because missionaries are tending to stay in areas where missionaries have already had success. Growth often comes from opening up areas where missionaries have not previously had a presence. Opening up new areas, however, requires more than additional missionaries, but can include working with new governments for permission (and visas), and ensuring that the area will be safe over the long-term. Martinich says that this policy of working from what he calls "centers of strength" ensures that growth remains slow and manageable.
As Stack reports, Church officials believe that these year-end numbers are hard to draw conclusions from, because the number of missionaries increased throughout the year.
Geoff Openshaw in his article for thisweekinmormons.com believes that these numbers don't account for the biggest increase in converts that the missionary numbers represent–the missionaries themselves. Even if converts per missionary drops, most returned missionaries stay active in the Church and contribute to church leadership, and those increases will reverberate for generations.

directs UNIX standard output and error to the LAM daemon on all remote nodes. LAM ships all captured output/error to the node that invoked mpirun and prints it on the standard output/error of mpirun. Local processes inherit the standard output/error of mpirun and transfer
 to it directly.
 Thus it is possible to redirect standard I/O for LAM applications by
 using the typical shell redirection procedure on mpirun.
 % mpirun C my_app < my_input > my_output
 Note that in this example only the local node (i.e., the node where
 mpirun was invoked from) will receive the stream from my_input on
 stdin. The stdin on all the other nodes will be tied to /dev/null.
 However, the stdout from all nodes will be collected into the my_output
 The -f option avoids all the setup required to support standard I/O described above. Remote processes are completely directed to /dev/null
 and local processes inherit file descriptors from lamboot(1).
 Pseudo-tty support
 The -pty option enabled pseudo-tty support for process output (it is
 also enabled by default). This allows, among other things, for line
 buffered output from remote nodes (which is probably what you want).
 This option can be disabled with the -npty switch.
 Process Termination / Signal Handling
 During the run of an MPI application, if any rank dies abnormally (either exiting before invoking MPI_FINALIZE, or dying as the result of a
 the MPI application.
 By default, LAM/MPI only installs a signal handler for one signal in
 user programs (SIGUSR2 by default, but this can be overridden when LAM
 is configured and built). Therefore, it is safe for users to install
 their own signal handlers in LAM/MPI programs (LAM notices death-bysignal cases by examining the process' return status provided by the
 operating system).
 User signal handlers should probably avoid trying to cleanup MPI state
 -- LAM is neither thread-safe nor async-signal-safe. For example, if a
 seg fault occurs in MPI_SEND (perhaps because a bad buffer was passed
 in) and a user signal handler is invoked, if this user handler attempts
 to invoke MPI_FINALIZE, Bad Things could happen since LAM/MPI was already "in" MPI when the error occurred. Since mpirun will notice that
 the process died due to a signal, it is probably not necessary (and
 safest) for the user to only clean up non-MPI state.
 If the -sigs option is used with mpirun, LAM/MPI will install several
 signal handlers to locally on each rank to catch signals, print out error messages, and kill the rest of the MPI application. This is somewhat redundant behavior since this is now all handled by mpirun, but it
 has been left for backwards compatability.
 Process Exit Statuses
 The -sa, -sf, and -p parameters can be used to display the exist statuses of the individual MPI processes as they terminate. -sa forces
 the exit statuses to be displayed for all processes; -sf only displays
 the exist statuses if at least one process terminates either by a signal or a non-zero exit status (note that exiting before invoking
 MPI_FINALIZE will cause a non-zero exit status).
 The status of each process is printed out, one per line, in the following format:
 prefix_string node pid killed status
 If killed is 1, then status is the signal number. If killed is 0, then
 status is the exit status of the process.
 The default prefix_string is "mpirun:", but the -p option can be used
 override this string.
 Current Working Directory
 The default behavior of mpirun has changed with respect to the directory that processes will be started in.
 The -wd option to mpirun allows the user to change to an arbitrary directory before their program is invoked. It can also be used in application schema files to specify working directories on specific nodes
 and/or for specific applications.
 If the -wd option appears both in a schema file and on the command
 line, the schema file directory will override the command line value.
 The -D option will change the current working directory to the directory where the executable resides. It cannot be used in application
 schema files. -wd is mutually exclusive with -D.
 If neither -wd nor -D are specified, the local node will send the directory name where mpirun was invoked from to each of the remote nodes.
 The remote nodes will then try to change to that directory. If they
 fail (e.g., if the directory does not exists on that node), they will
 start with from the user's home directory.
 All directory changing occurs before the user's program is invoked; it
 does not wait until MPI_INIT is called.
 Process Environment
 Processes in the MPI application inherit their environment from the LAM
 daemon upon the node on which they are running. The environment of a
 LAM daemon is fixed upon booting of the LAM with lamboot(1) and is typically inherited from the user's shell. On the origin node, this will
 be the shell from which lamboot(1) was invoked; on remote nodes, the
 exact environment is determined by the boot SSI module used by lamboot(1). The rsh boot module, for example, uses either rsh/ssh to
 launch the LAM daemon on remote nodes, and typically executes one or
 more of the user's shell-setup files before launching the LAM daemon.
 When running dynamically linked applications which require the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to be set, care must be taken to ensure
 that it is correctly set when booting the LAM.
 Exported Environment Variables
 All environment variables that are named in the form LAM_MPI_*,
 LAM_IMPI_*, or IMPI_* will automatically be exported to new processes
 on the local and remote nodes. This exporting may be inhibited with
 the -nx option.
 Additionally, the -x option to mpirun can be used to export specific
 environment variables to the new processes. While the syntax of the -x
 option allows the definition of new variables, note that the parser for
 this option is currently not very sophisticated - it does not even understand quoted values. Users are advised to set variables in the environment and use -x to export them; not to define them.
 Trace Generation
 Two switches control trace generation from processes running under LAM
 and both must be in the on position for traces to actually be generated. The first switch is controlled by mpirun and the second switch is
 initially set by mpirun but can be toggled at runtime with
 MPIL_Trace_on(2) and MPIL_Trace_off(2). The -t (-ton is equivalent)
 and -toff options all turn on the first switch. Otherwise the first
 switch is off and calls to MPIL_Trace_on(2) in the application program
 are ineffective. The -t option also turns on the second switch. The
 -toff option turns off the second switch. See MPIL_Trace_on(2) and
 lamtrace(1) for more details.
 MPI Data Conversion
 LAM's MPI library converts MPI messages from local representation to
 LAM representation upon sending them and then back to local representation upon receiving them. If the case of a LAM consisting of a homogeneous network of machines where the local representation differs from
 the LAM representation this can result in unnecessary conversions.
 The -O switch used to be necessary to indicate to LAM whether the
 mulitcomputer was homogeneous or not. LAM now automatically determines
 whether a given MPI job is homogeneous or not. The -O flag will
 silently be accepted for backwards compatability, but it is ignored.

One native bird in the area may soon be added to the endangered species list. And it could have a big impact on future wind farm development in the Panhandle.
There are only a few lesser prairie chickens left in Texas.
And because of huge wind farms proposed in the Panhandle, their population is in limbo.
Today at the Panhandle Wind and Wildlife Conference here in Amarillo, wildlife experts discussed the impact wind turbines and wind farms have on animals, both in the air and on the ground.
And they are anticipating problems to arise here in the Panhandle.
"I think a key issue is prairie chickens and habitat loss and disturbance and their may be certainly issues for water foul and birds in the playa lakes region," said Dr. Ed Arnett a conservation scientist with the Bats and Wind Energy Cooperative..
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the lesser prairie chicken is a candidate for listing on the endangered species list and they feel that wind farm construction will disrupt their habitat.
"Prairie chickens are sensitive to fragmentation. They kind of need wide open spaces and any time you introduce infrastructures they leave an area and their breeding success declines quite a bit," said John P. Hughes, a fish and wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services.
Current habitats for the chicken range through Lipscomb, Hemphill, Wheeler, Gray, and Donley counties.
If the chicken is put on the endangered species list, it will affect future construction.
"It could effect the way people us their land. And could prevent wind farms from being sited," said hughes.
The heart of the lesser prairie chicken's habitat is right in the middle of the proposed T. Boone Pickens/Mesa Power wind farm.

This sort of question should be resolved by looking at the IRS' officialinstructions for the tax form and year in question. You only need to attachsuch items as the IRS' official instructions direct you to attach. Recentlythere has been a trend of requiring fewer attachments.For the sake of answering this specific question for this specific year thereappears to be no such requirement. The Form 1099B was already reported to theIRS and the Schedule D instructions make no mention of attaching it. You mayneed to attach a "statement required under Regulations section 1.1h1e."Id. lines 10 and 18.For actual advice on filling in your forms consult a tax attorney oraccountant.
There should be a change to my tax form 1040 schedule D, which doesn't affectmy tax liability. Do I need to send a 1040x?
You dont give enough information.If the change is significant and to gross proceeds the IRS will pick up onthis so it might be in your best interests to file a 1040x.However if the change is minor and will result in minor change change to taxliability the hassle to amend may not be worth it.Occasionally the IRS computers will have some logic and not send out a taxbill for a 10 change in tax liability. However sometimes the computer willsend a demand notice for a.50 liability.
For a resident alien individual having farm income in the home country, India,how to report the agricultural income in US income tax return? Does the form1040 schedule F needs to be filled?
The answer is yes it should be. Remember that you will receive a credit forany Indian taxes you pay.
If an undocumented resident wants to pay taxes and she is paid in cash by heremployer, how can she file taxes when she applies for an ITIN? Does she use aSchedule C Form 1040 or a Form 4852?
Schedule C is used if the person is selfemployed. Form 4852 is used foremployment. There is a difference.
I run a business and I am a sole proprietor who files a long 1040 tax formwith a Schedule C. How will the Schedule C and business expenses be handledunder this new tax legislation?
The bill introduces a great deal of complexity for business income that isincluded as part of a personal return. So much for simplifying the tax code.The House and Senate bills took different approaches to dealing with the factthat the top corporate rate under the new law would be so much less than thetop personal rate. The House had a complicated scheme that imposed thecorporate rate on a portion of Schedule C and Schedule E earnings and thepersonal rate on the rest of it with the portion subject to the personal ratevarying depending on the type of business. This is supposed to be simplerThe Senate meanwhile simply proposed a tax exclusion for a portion ofSchedule C and Schedule E earnings with various numbers batted around duringthe negotiations as well as a cap on the exclusion to discourage abuse.According to what I'm reading the compromise bill that came out ofreconciliation will simply allow you to deduct 20 of your Schedule C andSchedule E passthrough earnings from your income without any cap.There are also several changes relating to deductibility of certain businessexpenses the most significant of which have to do with net operating losses.Until the bill is finalized it's going to be hard to predict what willhappen in addition passage of this bill is still uncertain with Marco Rubioand Bob Corker both on record as opposed to the bill the Republicans cannotafford to lose anyone else at all and at the moment two Republican Senatorsare too ill to vote which means at this moment the Republicans do not havethe votes needed to pass the reconciled bill.
How do people file taxes when dealing with cryptocurrencies as part of theirown income stream? What forms and what schedule on the 1040 do people placetheir earnings from Bitcoin for example?
According to information issue by the IRS bitcoin is reported like anysecurity bought and sold with the capital gain reported for each sale. Thisis reported on Form 8949 and Schedule D. You probably need to get assistanceon doing this from a competent tax professional if you are not familiar withhow to do this. It can get complicated if you have multiple transactions


from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babka wielkanocna with chocolate coating
Babka or Bobka, also known as Baba, is the name of a sweet yeast cake from Central / Eastern Europe.
In Polish, Babka means "grandmother" but also " Napfkuchen ". The bowl cake, which is traditionally eaten at Easter breakfast on Easter Sunday, is traditionally referred to as baba or baba wielkanocna. Many in Poland still say Babka wielkanocna. One possible explanation for this is that Baba means "grandmother" in Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian, and that is why the term became established throughout Poland. The association with grandmother is probably due to the shape of the pastry, that of a high cylinder with waves on the sides, so that the pastry resembles "grandmother's pleated skirt ".
Christian version
Babka is a soft, briochelike yeast cake that is traditionally eaten in Poland, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania at Easter breakfast on Easter Sunday (in Romania also on Christmas, New Year and Pentecost). The Easter cake traditionally does not contain a filling, but is covered with a vanilla / chocolate or icing or decorated with almonds. Sometimes raisins are mixed into the batter.
Jewish version
Chocolate babka with sprinkles
Another version of the babka goes back to the tradition of the Jews in Eastern Europe. It became very popular after 1945 in North American cities with high Jewish populations, e.g. B. Montreal, New York, Chicago, Miami and Toronto. This babka is made from two intertwined yeast plaits and is traditionally baked in a tall loaf pan. The cake is usually filled with cinnamon or chocolate. It is usually decorated with sprinkles on top. The comparable cake kokosh is also very popular in Jewish bakeries.

The growth and collapse history of two pingos located approximately 18 m a.s.l, and 35 m a.s.l. in Kuganguag, Disko lsland, west-central Greenland were examined. The pingos of this area were formed on Tertiary basalt rocks. One of the pingos is located in the middle of an alluvial fan, the other is on a river bed. Both have already collapsed. The pingo on the river bed had already collapsed at least 3545±60 year BP (14C dating from base of the pond sediments in the pingo crater). Both pingos formed after the sea's retreat as permafrost developed in the newly exposed delta bottom.

Pasco and Pinellas County Health Departments Are Working Together to Vaccinate Residents Against Hepatitis A
August 12, 2019
The Florida Departments of Health (DOH) in Pasco and Pinellas Counties are teaming up to offer free hepatitis A vaccine to adults on Saturday, August 17 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church. The address is 4843 Mile Stretch Dr. in Holiday. The Departments will also be offering free HIV and hepatitis C rapid testing at this outreach event. Results will be available in 20 minutes.
On August 1, 2019, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees declared a Public Health Emergency to address the increase in hepatitis A cases in Florida due to the current national outbreak. DOH has been diligently working with community partners to educate and vaccinate as many residents as possible to prevent further spread of hepatitis A.
The outreach event planned for August 17 has been a collaborative effort, with many participants, including:
- Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco County
- Joining Hands Mission
- Metropolitan Ministries
- Pasco County Emergency Management
- Pasco County Human Services
- Pasco County Media Relations and Communications
- Pasco County Public Transportation
- Pasco County Sheriff's Office
- Salvation Army
- Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church
Vaccination is the best way to prevent hepatitis A. People who should be vaccinated for hepatitis A include:
- All children at age 1 year
- People who are experiencing homelessness
- Users of recreational drugs, whether injected or not
- Men who have sexual encounters with other men
- People with direct contact with others who have hepatitis A
- Travelers to countries where hepatitis A is common
- People with chronic or long-term liver disease, including hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- People with clotting-factor disorders
- Family and caregivers of adoptees from countries where hepatitis A is common
What is Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious disease that attacks the liver. People infected with hepatitis A are most contagious from two weeks before onset of symptoms to one week afterwards. Not everyone who is infected will have all the symptoms. Symptoms usually start within 28 days of exposure to the virus with a range of 15-50 days. Symptoms can include:
- Jaundice (yellowing skin and whites of eyes)
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Dark-colored urine
- Pale or clay colored stool
How is Hepatitis A Infection Prevented or Treated?
- Practicing good hand hygiene – including thoroughly washing hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before preparing or eating food – plays an important role in preventing the spread of hepatitis A.
- Hepatitis A vaccine is the best method of preventing infection.
- No medicines can cure the disease once symptoms appear.
- People with hepatitis A symptoms should seek medical care immediately.
- Most people get better over time but may need to be hospitalized.
- Previous infection with hepatitis A provides immunity for the rest of a person's life.
- People that are exposed to hepatitis A may be given vaccine or immune globulin within 14 days of exposure to prevent infection.
DOH has established a hotline for people who may have questions about hepatitis A. The number to call for Pasco County is _PHONE_, and the number to call for Pinellas County is _PHONE_.

 Ti site occupancy in zircon (ZrSiO 4) is fundamental to thermobarometry because substitution mechanisms control Ti content-temperature relations. Here we describe the results of three independent methods used to demonstrate that Ti substitutes for Si and not Zr in zircon. Zircon grains were synthesized from oxide powders held in a Na 2WO 4 flux at 1 bar and 1300 °C. Zircon grains equilibrated with rutile + cristobalite show Ti contents (1201 ppm) nearly half that of zircon grains equilibrated with srilankite ((Ti,Zr)O 2) + tetragonal zirconia (2640 ppm). The lower Ti content of zircon grains produced at silica-saturated conditions indicates that Ti substitution predominately occurs on the Si site. Moreover, the higher Ti contents of silica-saturated experiments at 1 bar (1201 ppm), relative to those at 1 GPa (457 ppm, Ferry and Watson, 2007), indicates a substantial pressure effect on Ti solubility in zircon. Measured Ti K-α edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectra of synthetic zircon grains show energies and normalized intensities akin to those seen among tetrahedrally coordinated Ti-bearing standard minerals, strongly suggesting that Ti occupies the Si site. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that Ti substitution is most likely to occur on the Si site and predict a Ti-O bond length of 1.797 Å (compared to an average of 2.160 Å for substitution on the Zr site), in excellent agreement with X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectra of experimentally grown zircon grains which indicate a value of 1.76(1) Å. The software FEFF 8.4 was used to simulate XANES spectra from the defect structures determined by DFT for Ti substituting on both the Si and Zr sites. The predicted spectrum for Ti on the Si site reproduces all the key features of the experimental zircon spectra, whereas Ti on the Zr site is markedly different. All applied methods confirm that Ti substitutes for Si in zircon. Consequently, the Ti content of zircon at a

 Self-poled ultra-thin ferroelectric PbZr{sub 0.52}Ti{sub 0.48}O{sub 3} (PZT) (5 and 7 nm) films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition technique on ferromagnetic La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} (LSMO) (30 nm) to check the effect of polar capping on magnetization for ferroelectric tunnel junction devices. PZT/LSMO heterostructures with thick polar PZT (7 nm) capping show nearly 100% enhancement in magnetization compared with thin polar PZT (5 nm) films, probably due to excess hole transfer from the ferroelectric to the ferromagnetic layers. Core-level x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies revealed the presence of larger Mn 3s exchange splitting and higher Mn{sup 3+}/Mn{sup 4+} ion ratio in the LSMO with 7 nm polar capping.
 11. The astrobiology of Titan

 Raulin, F.; Coll, P.; Cabane, M.; Hebrard, E.; Israel, G.; Nguyen, M.-J.; Szopa, C.; Gpcos Team
 Largest satellite of Saturn and the only satellite in the solar system having a dense atmosphere, Titan is one of the key planetary bodies for astrobiological studies, due to several aspects: Its analogies with planet Earth, in spite of much lower temperatures, The Cassini-Huygens data have largely confirmed the many analogies between Titan and our own planet. Both have similar vertical temperature profiles, (although much colder, of course, on Titan). Both have condensable and non condensable greenhouse gases in their atmosphere. Both are geologically very active. Furthermore, the data also suggest strongly the presence of a methane cycle on Titan analogous to the water cycle on Earth. The presence of an active organic chemistry, involving several of the key compounds of prebiotic chemistry. The recent data obtained from the Huygens instruments show that the organic matter in Titan low atmosphere (stratosphere and troposphere) is mainly concentrated in the aerosol particles. Because of the vertical temperature profile in this part of the atmosphere, most of the volatile organics are probably mainly condensed on the aerosol particles. The nucleus of these particles seems to be made of complex macromolecular organic matter, well mimicked in the laboratory by the "Titan's tholins". Now, laboratory tholins are known to release many organic compounds of biological interest, such as amino acids and purine and pyrimidine bases, when they are in contact with liquid water. Such hydrolysis may have occurred on the surface of Titan, in the bodies of liquid water which episodically may form on Titan's surface from meteoritic and cometary impacts. The formation of biologically interesting compounds may also occur in the deep water ocean, from the hydrolysis of complex organic material included in the chrondritic matter accreted during the formation of Titan.

 Cassini observations have found that the plasma and magnetic field conditions upstream of Titan are far more complex than they were thought to be after the Voyager encounter. Rymer et al., (2009) used the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) electron observations to classify the plasma conditions along Titan's orbit into 5 types (Plasma Sheet, Lobe, Mixed, Magnetosheath and Misc.). Nemeth et al., (2011) found that the CAPS ion observations could also be separated into the same plasma regions as defined by Rymer et al. Additionally the T-96 encounter found Titan in the solar wind adding a sixth classification. Understanding the effects of the variable upstream plasma conditions on Titan's plasma interaction and the evolution of Titan's ionosphere/atmosphere is one of the main objectives of the Cassini mission. To compliment the mission we perform hybrid simulations of Titan's plasma interaction to examine the effects of the incident plasma distribution function and the flow velocity. We closely examine the results on Titan's induced magnetosphere and the resulting pickup ion properties.
 13. Titan's organic chemistry

 Sagan, C.; Thompson, W. R.; Khare, B. N.

 Voyager discovered nine simple organic molecules in the atmosphere of Titan. Complex organic solids, called tholins, produced by irradiation of the simulated Titanian atmosphere, are consistent with measured properties of Titan from ultraviolet to microwave frequencies and are the likely main constituents of the observed red aerosols. The tholins contain many of the organic building blocks central to life on earth. At least 100-m, and possibly kms thicknesses of complex organics have been produced on Titan during the age of the solar system, and may exist today as submarine deposits beneath an extensive ocean of simple hydrocarbons.
 14. Titan Casts Revealing Shadow
 NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)
 2004-05-01
 A rare celestial event was captured by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory as Titan -- Saturn's largest moon and the only moon in the Solar System with a thick atmosphere -- crossed in front of the X-ray bright Crab Nebula. The X-ray shadow cast by Titan allowed astronomers to make the first X-ray measurement of the extent of its atmosphere. On January 5, 2003, Titan transited the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova explosion that was observed to occur in the year 1054. Although Saturn and Titan pass within a few degrees of the Crab Nebula every 30 years, they rarely pass directly in front of it. "This may have been the first transit of the Crab Nebula by Titan since the birth of the Crab Nebula," said Koji Mori of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, and lead author on an Astrophysical Journal paper describing these results. "The next similar conjunction will take place in the year 2267, so this was truly a once in a lifetime event." Animation of Titan's

Last name: Ackerman
This long-established surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a status name for a bond tenant who was employed as a ploughman for a manor. The derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th Century "aecermann", a compound of "aecer", field, ploughed land, cognate with the Old Norse "akr", and "mann", man. On many medieval manors there were separate tenements held by "acremen" in return for ploughing service, and a quotation from "Lay le Freine" reads, "The foules up, and song on bough, And acremen yeld to the plough". Early examples of the surname include: Robert le Akerman (Essex, 1233); Roger le Acreman (Oxfordshire, 1273); and Hugh Akerman (Cambridgeshire, 1273). The "Historical English Dictionary", dated 1389, tells us that "both prestis and knightis mosten bicome acremen and heerdis". In the modern idiom the surname has four spelling variations: Ackerman(n), Akerman and Acreman. On August 15th 1568, Anna Ackerman and John Habet were married at St. Dionis Backchurch, London. A notable namebearer mentioned in the "National Biography" was Rudolph Ackermann who, in 1801, patented a method for making articles waterproof, and established art lithography in England (1817). A Coat of Arms granted to the Ackerman family in 1761 is described thus: Quarterly per fesse indented first and fourth gules, in chief a maunch argent, in base an acorn sprig or, second and 3rd or, three dragons' heads couped of the first. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Acreman, which was dated 1100, in the "Chartulary of Ramsey Abbey", Huntingdonshire, during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

hypothetical name is given to the table so that you can duplicate this example in your test database:
CREATE TYPE phone_list_typ_demo AS VARRAY(5) OF VARCHAR2(25);
Nested Table Type Example The following example from the sample schema pm creates the table type textdoc_tab of object type textdoc_typ:
CREATE TYPE textdoc_typ AS OBJECT
 ( document_typ VARCHAR2(32)
 , formatted_doc BLOB
 ) ;
CREATE TYPE textdoc_tab AS TABLE OF textdoc_typ;
Nested Table Type Containing a Varray The following example of multilevel collections is a variation of the sample table oe.customers. In this example, the cust_address object column becomes a nested table column with the phone_list_typ varray column embedded in it. The phone_list_typ type was created in Varray Type Example.
CREATE TYPE cust_address_typ2 AS OBJECT
 ( street_address VARCHAR2(40)
 , postal_code VARCHAR2(10)
 , city VARCHAR2(30)
 , state_province VARCHAR2(10)
 , country_id CHAR(2)
 , phone phone_list_typ_demo
 );
CREATE TYPE cust_nt_address_typ
 AS TABLE OF cust_address_typ2;
Constructor Example This example invokes the system-defined constructor to construct the demo_typ object and insert it into the demo_tab table:
CREATE TYPE demo_typ1 AS OBJECT (a1 NUMBER, a2 NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE demo_tab1 (b1 NUMBER, b2 demo_typ1);
INSERT INTO demo_tab1 VALUES (1, demo_typ1(2,3));
See Also:
Oracle Database Object-Relational Developer's Guide for more information about constructors
Creating a Member Method: Example The following example invokes method constructor col.get_square. First the type is created:
CREATE TYPE demo_typ2 AS OBJECT (a1 NUMBER,
 MEMBER FUNCTION get_square RETURN NUMBER);
Next a table is created with an object type column and some data is inserted into the table:
CREATE TABLE demo_tab2(col demo_typ2);
INSERT INTO demo_tab2 VALUES (demo_typ2(2));
The type body is created to define the member function, and the member method is invoked:
CREATE TYPE BODY demo_typ2 IS
 MEMBER FUNCTION get_square
 RETURN NUMBER
 IS x NUMBER;
 BEGIN
 SELECT c.col.a1*c.col.a1 INTO x
 FROM demo_tab2 c;
 RETURN (x);
 END;
END;
/

SELECT t.col.get_square() FROM demo_tab2 t;
T.COL.GET_SQUARE()
------------------

Unlike function invocations, method invocations require parentheses, even when the methods do not have additional arguments.
Creating a Static Method: Example The following example changes the definition of the employee_t type to associate it with the construct_emp function. The example first creates an object type department_t and then an object type employee_t containing an attribute of type department_t:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE department_t AS OBJECT (
 deptno number(10),
 dname CHAR(30));
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE employee_t AS OBJECT(
 empid RAW(16),
 ename CHAR(31),
 dept REF department_t,
 STATIC function construct_emp
 (name VARCHAR2, dept REF department_t)
 RETURN employee_t
);
This statement requires the following type body statement.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY employee_t IS
 STATIC FUNCTION construct_emp
 (name varchar2, dept REF department_t)
 RETURN employee_t IS
 BEGIN
 return employee_t(SYS_GUID(),name,dept);
 END;
END;
Next create an object table and insert into the table:
CREATE TABLE emptab OF employee_t;
INSERT INTO emptab
 VALUES (employee_t.construct_emp('John Smith', NULL));

^100 and 10^1000 solutions. These numbers are far greater than the total number of fermions in the universe (about 10^80). There is no way to predict objectively which vacuum state describes the universe. The best that can be done is to plot a 'landscape' of solutions as a three dimensional plot and then to claim that the nearest one to experimental data is the prediction, by the 'anthropic principle' (which says we would not exist if it was another state, because the laws of nature are sensitive to the value of the vacuum energy).
By the same scientifically fraudulent argument, a child asked 'what is 2 + 2?' would reply: 'it is either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 … or 10^1000, the correct answer being decided by whichever solution of mine happens to correspond to the experimentally determined fact, shown by the counting beads!'
Sir Fred Hoyle used the anthropic argument (sometimes falsely called a principle) to 'predict' life exists due to nuclear carbon energy level which allows three alpha particles (helium-4 nuclei) to stick together forming carbon-12. He did this simply because his theory would fail otherwise. However, it was a subjective 'I exist, therefore helium fuses' prediction and was not objectively based on an understanding of nuclear science. Therefore, Hoyle did not win a Nobel Prize, and his so-called 'explanation' of the carbon-12 energy level – despite correctly predicting the value later observed in experiment – does not deliver you hard physics.
