Topographic redistribution of water has been represented by various terrain metrics (e.g., topographic wetness index, slope, and upslope accumulated area). This type of landscape characterization has promoted the use of terrain metrics to inform how spatial patterns of soil volumetric water content (VWC) influence streamflow, ecological processes, and associated nutrient fluxes. However, evaluation of what these static terrain metrics reflect has only been accomplished in a few catchments. Additionally, previous research suggests that relationships between topographic metrics and VWC could be different across catchments through time. Here we measured VWC from snowmelt through summer drydown across a semiarid montane catchment. Using a spatially nested sampling design, we assessed the spatiotemporal variability of VWC from plot (tens of meters) to landscape scales (hundreds of meters). Variance of riparian area VWC increased as the catchment dried, while upland variance decreased, highlighting the utility of delineating distinct landscape units when considering spatial variability of moisture, rather than calculating statistics across the landscape as a whole. In contrast to previous research, we found that the relationship between VWC and topographic metrics persisted through the dry catchment state, suggesting that patterns of topographic redistribution of water during snowmelt continued to influence dry season VWC despite variability in plot scale vertical processes (e.g., evapotranspiration). Future research should focus on resolving the relationship between catchment moisture state and VWC variability as a function of wetness state, seasonality, and magnitude of precipitation, topography, and soil depth.

Born Sep 6 1919 - Died Sep 27 2011
Medical Cardiac Pacemaker
Patent Number(s) 3,057,356
Wilson Greatbatch invented the cardiac pacemaker, an innovation selected in 1983 by the National Society of Professional Engineers as one of the two major engineering contributions to society during the previous 50 years. Greatbatch established a series of companies to manufacture or license his inventions, including Greatbatch Enterprises, which produces most of the world's pacemaker batteries.
His original pacemaker patent resulted in the first implantable cardiac pacemaker, which has led to heart patient survival rates comparable to that of a healthy population of similar age.
Born in Buffalo, New York, Greatbatch received his preliminary education at public schools in West Seneca, New York. In 1936 he entered military service and served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II. He was honorably discharged with the rating of aviation chief radioman in 1945. He attended Cornell University and graduated with a B.E.E. in electrical engineering in 1950. Greatbatch received a master's from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1957 and was awarded honorary doctor's degrees from Houghton College in 1970 and State University of New York at Buffalo in 1984. Although trained as an electrical engineer, Greatbatch primarily studied interdisciplinary areas combining engineering with medical electronics, agricultural genetics, the electrochemistry of pacemaker batteries, and the electrochemical polarization of physiological electrodes.

Blacks in metropolitan Hartford are slightly more segregated by neighborhood than Latinos, the census study found. But because blacks tend to be more segregated in U.S. cities and suburbs, metro Hartford's segregation ranking for blacks was significantly better - 24th of 43 - in 2000.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
The Hartford metropolitan area - a 58-town, 1.2 million person region - was the fourth most segregated among 36 metros for Latinos in 2000, trailing only Providence, New York and Newark, according to the census study. The study tracked the distribution of people across the nation's largest cities and suburbs between 1980 and 2000.
During that period, Hispanics grew more segregated in most U.S. metro areas the Census Bureau studied, probably because of rapid foreign immigration in those regions.
But Greater Hartford bucked that trend. Between 1980 and 2000, only three of the metro areas studied by the Census Bureau - San Antonio, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla., and Miami - experienced higher rates of Latino integration than Greater Hartford. In contrast, most Northeast metropolitan areas, including Providence, New York and Boston, saw significant increases in Latino segregation.
Fernando Betancourt, director of the legislature's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission, said economic advancement has given some Latinos access to new neighborhoods.
"Still, I am very aware of the incredible concentration of Latinos in urban areas, and how poverty correlates with that fact," he said.
And some experts argued that metro Hartford's relatively high Latino segregation standing is the more significant measure to consider than a modest trend toward integration.
"I just don't think this is one of the places that Latinos did very well," said John Logan, a sociologist at the State University of New York at Albany who studies segregation. "My reading of Hartford is that as the Hispanic population grew substantially in the last 20 years, it remained very highly segregated, unusually segregated."
In a state where public schools are organized along neighborhood lines and town boundaries, neighborhood residential segregation isn't just a moral issue. It's a legal and financial one - especially with Connecticut facing a budget crisis and the prospect that it may need to spend even more on school desegregation because of the Sheff vs. O'Neill case.
The state Department of Education says Connecticut has authorized more than $1 billion to facilitate school desegregation since the 1997 verdict favoring the plaintiffs in the 13-year-old Sheff case, which charged that segregation was preventing minority students from receiving an equal education. The Sheff plaintiffs say those remedies are not sufficient.
Neither side would comment on their discussions, nor on how much money could be at stake. But one lawyer for the plaintiffs said that while the progress in neighborhood segregation was good news, the pace of change was too slow to mean much for school integration.
"That's like waiting for the glaciers to melt to put out a fire," said Dennis Parker, of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. "You need to do something more quickly."
While a few suburbs near Hartford have many more black and Latino residents than a decade ago, Parker said many of Hartford's outlying suburbs are not becoming significantly more diverse.
"In fact, having schools that are not racially and ethnically isolated may speed the process of housing change, because the composition of the schools has an effect on where people choose to live," Parker said.
The 2000 Census counted about 114,000 Hispanics and 106,000 blacks in the Hartford metro area.
Many Latinos are highly concentrated in relatively few neighborhoods, almost all of them in either Hartford or New Britain; while blacks are most highly concentrated in Hartford, Bloomfield and Windsor.
Blacks and Latinos are about equally likely to live in neighborhoods where their own ethnic group constitutes more than half the population. About 30 percent of Latinos live in mostly Latino areas; about 33 percent of blacks live in mostly black neighborhoods.

Heavy load for top architecture
The conversion of the Wien Museum is giving Karlsplatz an architectural makeover. But how do you get oversized steel trusses from Carinthia to downtown Vienna? And how do you lift them onto the Oswald Haerdtl-designed building that opened in 1959?
Ten special transports
A total of ten special transports were necessary to bring the different steel trusses from Carinthia to Vienna. These ten trips were performed with seven different equipment combinations, where the largest transport unit was a 4-axle tractor with a 14-axle heavy duty combination. This hauled the largest piece with a width of 6.4 metres, a length of 40 metres and a unit weight of 108 tonnes. The resulting transport dimensions were even more impressive: 47.5 metres long, 6.4 metres wide, 4 metres high and a total weight of just under 200 tonnes.
Optimum special transport equipment
In addition to carrying out the transport, the yellow specialists were also responsible for the entire route planning, the comprehensive approval process and all reconstruction measures along the transport route. The preliminary work for this spectacular undertaking began already in March 2021. Initially, there was the question of suitable equipment: Especially with regard to the routing and the passage through Vienna's city centre, the transport technology had to be tested for optimal driving characteristics and its ability to negotiate curves. Finally, special equipment was used that is unique in Austria.
Only possible transport route
Due to the transport (over)dimensions, the route check turned out to be extremely complex. A major factor here was weight restrictions due to underground shafts and substructures in Vienna. To make the passage through Vienna possible at all, construction measures in the six-figure Euro range were required. Road works on the A2 meant a direct route via the motorway was not possible. In the end, it was necessary to go via Slovenia. This, in turn, necessitated the reconstruction of the "Karawanken Tunnel" border crossing. And another road works also made a second alternative route imperative.
Optimum crane technology
Eight support vehicles guided the heavy-duty transportation to Karlsplatz in Vienna. There, they were welcomed by a 600-tonne crawler crane with a system length of 84 metres. Some of the trusses were lifted directly, others were assembled while still on the ground. The heaviest steel element had an individual weight of 165 tonnes. In order to position the large crane – the size of a single-family house – between two inner-city buildings and close to an underground shaft, a number of measures were needed: Road closure, numerous stopping restrictions, removal of street lights and the relocation of a cycle path.
Supplementary crane technology
The erection of the large crane was precisely timed and followed a strict order. Due to the confined space conditions, everything had to take place just-in-time. A crane parking area suitable for the crawler crane was also very important. After all, the yellow giant weighed 750 tonnes. For this purpose, the road was filled in and then completely covered with excavator mats made of hardwood. The complex lifting logistics were rounded off with a 500-tonne telescopic crane that replaced the crawler crane after around a week and a half. With a system length of 79.2 metres, it mastered the final strokes in two different places. The extremely good cooperation of all stakeholders in the run-up to the event made this unique undertaking ultimately a success.

Abstract
The aircraft has always suffered non-stationary random vibration in the booster-phase of the launch process. Obtain the relationship between the slip-mean-time and the bias error and that between the slip-mean-time and the random error in the estimation of a non-stationary random vibration signal's power spectral density (PSD) by analyzing the estimation of the signal's variable mean square (MS). Based on this, Obtain the analytic relationship between the variable MS of a sample of a non-stationary random vibration signal and the optimum slip-mean-time which causes the smallest total error in the spectrum analysis of the signal, propose an approach for optimizing the slip-mean-time in the estimation of a non-stationary random vibration signal's PSD. Present an appliance for a signal sample of a random vibration process which is caused during an aircraft booster-phase. Used the orthogonal polynomial approximation to get the analytic format of the process's MS, confirm the optimum slip-mean-time used in estimating the signal's PSD.

Lubricant eye drops wash off the allergic substances from the surface of the eye and are used for dry eyes. Vasoconstrictor drugs reduce redness in the eyes.Lubricant eye drops
These are also called artificial tears and are used for the treatment of dry eyes
. They include brands like GenTeal, Systane, Refresh, Optive and Thera Tears. They help in eye allergies by washing off the allergens and substances released in the eye during allergy
. Some brands are available as viscous solutions that remain on the eye for longer periods. These however may result in side effects such as temporary blurring and irritation of the eyes. Some brands have preservative free formulations. These are preferred for patients who use eye drops often especially more than 6 times a day.Vasoconstrictor eye drops
Vasoconstrictor drugs include phenylephrine, oxymetazoline and naphazoline
. These drugs constrict the superficial blood vessels on the eye and reduce redness and symptoms of ocular allergy. They do not treat the allergy and are often used in combination with anithistamines.
They cause burning of the eyes and could increase eye redness once they are stopped; hence they should be used for short periods only. They may dilate the pupil (the opening in the iris through which the light enters the eye) and cause blurring of vision. They should not be used for patients suffering from narrow angle glaucoma.

Seaparating Elliptical and Sprial Galaxies
In the paper, SDSS astronomers found a line that separates
galaxies into early (elliptical) and late (spiral) types. That line
corresponds to a u-r value of 2.2. You are now going to add that
line to your graph. Unfortunately, this is tedious to do in Excel,
so this page will show you how to add the line by hand.
Exercise 6: Print a copy of the more detailed
you made in Exercise 5. Use a ruler and a pencil to sketch a line with
the equation y = -x + 2.2 onto your graph. This line will
separate elliptical and spiral galaxies.
In the observable universe, 77% of galaxies are spiral (late)
and 20% of galaxies are elliptical (early). How does your
percentage of early and late galaxies compare to the universe?
Would you say the galaxies in the vicinity of Abell 2255 are
representative of the universe as a whole?

Efficient chemical recycling through the use of microwaves
Japanese technology group Asahi Kasei plans to chemically recycle polyamide 66 (PA66) using microwave technology.
The project, launched jointly with Microwave Chemical (Osaka, Japan), reportedly aims to establish a commercial chemical recycling process of PA 66 using microwaves. From the process, the monomers hexamethylene diamine (HMD) and adipic acid (ADA) will be recovered with low energy consumption and high yield and reused to produce new PA66, it says. PA66 plastic is used, for example, to make plastic parts for automotive and electronic products, as well as yarn for airbag fabrics. Until now, recycling PA66 has been considered a major challenge, the project partners said. Microwave Chemical has now developed a chemical recycling process that uses the company's "Play Wave" microwave technology to depolymerize PA 66 waste from Asahi Kasei and directly recover the monomers HMD and ADA, is said. The target substances could be directly and selectively heated with the process at high energy efficiency. Laboratory-scale studies would have confirmed the effective depolymerization as well as the principle of the separation and purification process after depolymerization. With partners from the value chain, both companies want to establish an effective and more sustainable material cycle for PA66, the report adds. To collect basic process data for commercialization, a lab-scale demonstration plant is to be be set up in Osaka at Microwave Chemical's site by March 2024. A decision to commercialize the technology is expected to be made by fiscal 2025, according to the two companies.

# == Type safety with ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch
#
# If you attempt to assign an object to an association that doesn't match the inferred or specified <tt>:class_name</tt>, you'll
# get a ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch.
#
# == Options
#
# All of the association macros can be specialized through options which makes more complex cases than the simple and guessable ones
# possible.
module ClassMethods
# Adds the following methods for retrieval and query of collections of associated objects.
# +collection+ is replaced with the symbol passed as the first argument, so
# <tt>has_many :clients</tt> would add among others <tt>clients.empty?</tt>.
# * <tt>collection(force_reload = false)</tt> - returns an array of all the associated objects.
# An empty array is returned if none are found.
# * <tt>collection<<(object, ...)</tt> - adds one or more objects to the collection by setting their foreign keys to the collection's primary key.
# * <tt>collection.delete(object, ...)</tt> - removes one or more objects from the collection by setting their foreign keys to NULL.
# This will also destroy the objects if they're declared as belongs_to and dependent on this model.
# * <tt>collection=objects</tt> - replaces the collections content by deleting and adding objects as appropriate.
# * <tt>collection_singular_ids</tt> - returns an array of the associated objects ids
# * <tt>collection_singular_ids=ids</tt> - replace the collection by the objects identified by the primary keys in +ids+
# * <tt>collection.clear</tt> - removes every object from the collection. This destroys the associated objects if they
# are associated with <tt>:dependent => :destroy</tt>, deletes them directly from the database if <tt>:dependent => :delete_all</tt>,
# and sets their foreign keys to NULL otherwise.
# * <tt>collection.empty?</tt> - returns true if there are no associated objects.
# * <tt>collection.size</tt> - returns the number of associated objects.
# * <tt>collection.find</tt> - finds an associated object according to the same rules as Base.find.
# * <tt>collection.build(attributes = {})</tt> - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key but has not yet been saved. *Note:* This only works if an
# associated object already exists, not if it's nil!
# * <tt>collection.create(attributes = {})</tt> - returns a new object of the collection type that has been instantiated
# with +attributes+ and linked to this object through a foreign key and that has already been saved (if it passed the validation).
# *Note:* This only works if an associated object already exists, not if it's nil!
#
# Example: A Firm class declares <tt>has_many :clients</tt>, which will add:
# * <tt>Firm#clients</tt> (similar to <tt>Clients.find :all, :conditions => "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients<<</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.delete</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients=</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#client_ids</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#client_ids=</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.clear</tt>
# * <tt>Firm#clients.empty?</tt> (similar to <tt>firm.clients.size == 0</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.size</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.count "firm_id = #{id}"</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.find</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.find(id, :conditions => "firm_id = #{id}")</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.build</tt> (similar to <tt>Client.new("firm_id" => id)</tt>)
# * <tt>Firm#clients.create</tt> (similar to <tt>c = Client.new("firm_id" => id); c.save; c</tt>)
# The declaration can also include an options hash to specialize the behavior of the association.
#
# Options are:
# * <tt>:class_name</tt> - specify the class name of the association. Use it only if that name can't be inferred
# from the association name. So <tt>has_many :products</tt> will by default be linked to the +Product+ class, but
# if the real class name is +SpecialProduct+, you'll have to specify it with this option.
# * <tt>:conditions</tt> - specify the conditions that the associated objects must meet in order to be included as a "WHERE"
# sql fragment, such as "price > 5 AND name LIKE 'B%'".
# * <tt>:order</tt> - specify the order in which the associated objects are returned as a "ORDER BY" sql fragment,
# such as "last_name, first_name DESC"
# * <tt>:group</tt> - specify the attribute by which the associated objects are returned as a "GROUP BY" sql fragment,
# such as "category"
# * <tt>:foreign_key</tt> - specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is guessed to be the name
# of this class in lower-case and "_id" suffixed. So a +Person+ class that makes a has_many association will use "person_id"
# as the default foreign_key.
# * <tt>:dependent</tt> - if set to :destroy all the associated objects are destroyed
# alongside this object by calling their destroy method. If set to :delete_all all associated
# objects are deleted *without* calling their destroy method. If set to :nullify all associated

# NOTE: :dependent => true is deprecated and has been replaced with :dependent => :destroy.
# May not be set if :exclusively_dependent is also set.
# * <tt>:exclusively_dependent</tt> - Deprecated; equivalent to :dependent => :delete_all. If set to true all
# the associated object are deleted in one SQL statement without having their
# before_destroy callback run. This should only be used on associations that depend solely on this class and don't need to do any
# clean-up in before_destroy. The upside is that it's much faster, especially if there's a counter_cache involved.
# May not be set if :dependent is also set.
# * <tt>:finder_sql</tt> - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the association. This is a good way to go for complex
# associations that depend on multiple tables. Note: When this option is used, +find_in_collection+ is _not_ added.
# * <tt>:counter_sql</tt> - specify a complete SQL statement to fetch the size of the association. If +:finder_sql+ is

Remedy Synthesis – CAMPHORA
Remedy Source
Camphor is derived from a gum tree, known as the Camphor Laurel that can be found in Asia and has the potential to grow to a size of the European Oak Tree. The remedy source is the 'gum' that penetrates the whole tree and has a potent odour that is described as volatile, thus meaning the odour becoming airborne when exposed to the elements. It has many current and historical uses including culinary where it is used in sweet and sour dishes and most recently mainly being used in sweet confectionary. Medicinal, where in Arabic countries is topically applied to sprains, swellings and inflammation and produces cooling feelings when in contact with the skin, acting as a slight anaesthetic. Orally, camphor has been used to treat minor heart symptoms, fatigue and in some cases, mania. Interestingly and of note in the synthesis is the ceremonial use of Camphor in the Hindu religion. Within such communities, camphor is used in the burning of the sacred flame and burns with a cool flame leaving no ashes behind. However, is mainly used in open air temples today due to the high carbon deposits it can leave behind after burning due to the risk to people's health, in particular breathing and Emphysema risks.
The effects Camphor can have on the body is similar to that of Muscarnic receptor agonists that are substances that affect the cellular membranes, neurons and cells themselves such as, Tachycardia, flushing of the skin, slow breathing and reduced appetite in small doses to irritability, disorientation, lethargy, muscle spasms, vomiting, stomach cramps, seizures and convulsions when Camphor is present in large doses.
As the above information highlights, Camphor was and still is a widely used substance and has many physical characteristics that fit the homeopathic remedy picture. The picture that is present in the remedy, (illustrated mainly by the mappa mundi map on the last page) is reflected in the source such as burning heat with a cool flame, sweet and sour use in cooking, and cooling feeling upon contact with the skin as a result of inflammation/ sprains that are considered hot in their origin.
Camphora – A remedy of Tension
I close my eyes and answer no questions.
My mind not aware of impeding intentions.
Like the darkness I fear due to spectres and evil,
the furniture alive and possessed by a devil.
Dear God where are you at this time of my need,
you deserted my life with incredible speed.
The devil's replaced all the goodness you brought,
with evil and terror, now in fear overwrought.
The anger, the rage, the violent excitement.
Uncontrollable thoughts, a murderous indictment.
Exhaustion becomes my opposite person.
The state that I'm in I feel will just worsen.
The mania takes hold, my head in frenzy
emotions a seesaw, acting aggressively.
Then sudden coldness, descends on my being.
Loss of sensation, unconsciousness deepening.
I am dead, I am gone, is this death? Has it found me?
No! I'm alive, I am here, I'm so happy.
The pains hot and burning, tearing and tender,
inflamed nerves and organs. Prostration surrendered.
I am cold, I uncover, windows open, air around me.
But hot like a flash, turn the heat up and cover me.
Now the coldness again, take them off. I need cooling,
nothing can help as this pendulum's fuelling.
I want to jump out bed and jump out of window,
as my nurse looks upon me thinking 'god he's a weirdo.
Nothing will please him, or mellow his mood,
he rips of his clothing. He's incredibly crude.'
My brain is confused. My body is more so,
as the heat, cold and pain, penetrates through my torso.
The thirst appears sudden, I could drink a whole ocean.
Or my thirst disappears in the pictures commotion.
And now I have urges so erotic and manic,
building inside, the pressure volcanic.
But suddenly nothing, inadequate experience,
the urge unfulfilled due to sudden impotence.
And then electric pulses race through my nerves
convulsions and seizures take away my reserves.
A blueness and coldness, a coma comes forth
as a choleric state with Camphor symptoms absorbed.

Migrants Selection and Replacement in Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization
Many distributed systems (task scheduling,moving priorities,mobile environments,...) can be linked as Dynamic Optimization Problems (DOPs), since they require to pursue an optimal value that changes over time. We have focused on the utilization of Distributed Genetic Algorithms (dGAs), one of the domains still to be investigated for DOPs. A dGA essentially decentralizes the population in islands which cooperate through migrations of individuals. In this article, we analyze the effect of the migrants selection and replacement on the performance of dGAs for DOPs. Quality and distance based criteria are tested using a comprehensive set of benchmarks. Results show the benefits and drawbacks of each setting for DOPs.

'Contract' – the Folkestone Triennial
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) passed in 1995, was the first significant anti-discrimination legislation for disabled people in the UK and was the culmination of huge mobilisation calling for comprehensive social rights.
However, in its recommendations that 'reasonable adjustments' be made for social inclusion, in the 10 years immediately following the Act the employment rates of disabled people actually fell.
I took the DDA's perceived failings as the basis for manifesting it as a public document by (badly) singing it. Taking to the streets of Folkestone as a busker, I managed to strum a rudimentary D-D-A chord structure whilst delivering some 30 pages of the Act as an improvised 'song'.

funken (series of 13)
- lambda-print on alumiumdibond behind acrylic glass
- 1-2 150 x 120 cm
- 3-14 100 x 80 cm
The photographs of funken (sparks) investigate the movement patterns of sparks. These appear like graphics showing traces of light. For better observatory purposes, the photographs of the sparks have been inverted to result in a highly graphical image in negative. The yellow of the sparks becomes blue, the black of the surrounding darkness turns pure white. The photographic inquiry focuses on random angles emerging according to how the sparks divide in the air forming tree-like structures that reveal their geometric properties. This work continues the analysis of mathematical patterns expressed in earlier works such as milch and snow noise.

With the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge still away on their tour of the Caribbean, their children have had to come up with a clever way to track their parent's movements, as they hop from country to country. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were left at home by Prince William and Kate Middleton who have already visited Belize and Jamaica.
To keep up Prince George has reportedly come up with a clever way to figure out where his parents have been. Prince William revealed the sweet method George has been using while at a reception on Monday.
The young prince has been sticking pins into a world map to mark each destination his parents have visited, transmitting the information to his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. William explained: "We let them know where we are and he finds us on the map and puts a pin in it and shares with the others."
Yesterday was the couple's second day in Jamaica where they have met the nation's Prime Minister Andrew Holness. They've also visited a hospital as well as a teacher training college, where Kate gave her first, and only, speech of the tour, the Mirror reports.
In it, she hailed the work of teachers, who she said play a "crucial" role in shaping societies by nurturing the people children will become. The Duchess also told the assembled students: "You, as teachers are at the front line of this work and play a crucial role in shaping our societies by positively impacting the futures of literally thousands of young people over the course of your careers."
The couple signed a visitor's book before walking to an infant school on site. Children waved England flags as they walked by and the Duchess paused to give high fives to some.
Inside a classroom, William met Natalia Young, who was celebrating her fourth birthday and wore a rosette and plastic crown. The Duke asked how old she was, what kind of party she would have and how many candles.
Elsewhere, the Duchess asked a group their names and ages. She asked one girl: "Who did your hair today?" She also asked them their favourite colours, telling the children hers was green "because it's the colour of nature" and that William's was blue, "like the sea and the rivers." The Duchess later described the children as being "so sweet."
The Cambridges are now heading to the Bahamas for the final stint of their tour of the Caribbean.

Aeschna cyanea - Southern Hawker
Phylum: Arthropoda - Class: Insecta - Order: Odonata - Family: Aeschnidae
Aeschna cyanea, Southern Hawker dragonfly
Above: a newly-emerged male Southern Hawker resting on leaves of Yellow Flag Iris.
The Southern Hawker is a very common sight in summer throughout England and Wales, where it breeds in garden ponds as well as canals and lakes. This dragonfly is less common in the north and occurs in just a few locations of northern Scotland. There are no colonies of this dragonfly known in Ireland. In Britain it can usually be seen on the wing from mid June to early October.
Closeup of head and thorax, Aeschna cyanea, Southern Hawker dragonfly
The head and thorax of a newly-emerged Southern Hawker.
The male has mostly green spots along its upper abdomen apart from segments 8, 9 and 10, which have blue spots. There are also blue spots on the sides. Females have broader abdomens than males but are otherwise quite similar except that they have only green spots.
Mainly seen over ponds, canals or slow-flowing streams, like other members of the Aeschna genus this beautiful insect flies for long periods without resting, which makes it a difficult creature to study and photograph.
The female lays her eggs in summer and early autumn, by stabbing her ovipositor into rotting decaying marginal vegetation or rotting wood. The eggs lie dormant through bathe winter and then hatch in the following spring.
Larva of Aeschna cyanea, Southern Hawker dragonfly
Southern Hawker nymphs take three years to reach maturity, during which time they feed on small invertebrates including the nymphs and larvae of other insects as well as tadpoles and, when they can catch them, newborn newts (known as efts).

Empirical evidence on convergence across the PIIGS member states of the Euro–zone
This paper investigates unconditional convergence of major economic variables across the Euro–zone member states of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain over the last 30 years. The criteria used for investigating convergence are β–convergence, σ–convergence, and time–series–convergence. The findings show that the unemployment rate, the budget deficit, and the general government gross debt do not converge, but the GDP growth rate, the labour productivity growth rate, the prices inflation rate, and the wages inflation rate converge across the five Euro–zone member states. The findings show that the speed of convergence varies depending on the period of under review (the pre–Maastricht Treaty decade, the post–Maastricht Treaty decade, and the decade after the initiation of the Euro–zone).

CALCIUM HARDNESS COLORIMETER OVERVIEW
Total hardness, that is presence of magnesium and calcium, is due mainly
to the run-off water dissolving these salts as it flows or filters
through different strata. Hardness can cause scaling of pipes in
cooling and heating systems. Reverse osmosis and demineralization
also increase harness levels. The LHI93735 meter measures total
hardness in three different scales: 0 to 250, 200 to 500 and 400 to 750
ppm, covering an extensive range of applications. With this meter
hardness can be measured in ppm (mg/L) as well as in French (ofH),
German (odH) and English hardness (oeH). The
reading is expressed directly in ppm and it is not necessary to use
conversion tables or diagrams for interpretation.
The LHI93735 meter comes complete with 2 cuvets, battery and manual.

These are questions asked by ggill
As an exercise, I'm trying to replicate the table shown at the end of section 10.3 (Creating Embedded Components) of the Maple User Manual, the table on page 308 of the PDF, reproduced here:
I create a 6 x 3 table, and merge cells of columns 1 and 2 in each of rows 1, 2, 5 and 6, and proceed to enter the text and components from the Embedded Components example 2 to look as above. In column 3, I merge the cells in rows 2, 3, 4, 5 in order to place the plot component as shown. The new cell seems to be considered as in the same row as its top merged cell, in this case, row 2.
I can't control vertical positioning in the plot cell in column 3. If I select the vertical alignment for the plot cell (which sets the same vertical alignment for all of row 2), to Centre or Bottom or Baseline, the alignment is to the centre or bottom or baseline of row 2, not of the plot cell. So when I paste the plot into the cell it extends up from the Centre or Bottom or Baseline of row 2, to well above the table's top border.
If instead I set the vertical alignment to Top, then the pasted plot fits into the cell since the top of the plot now aligns with the top of row 2. But that can be an annoying restriction. Also, I am no longer allowed to set the vertical alignment in rows 3, 4 or 5 because of the merged cell in column 3.
Maple document tables need to have two improvements:
 1. The ability to adjust vertical centring in a single cell (merged or not), instead of just across a row.
 2. The ability to resize row height. Currently it looks like document tables only allow resizing column width.
I guess my question is mainly, is there a better way to go about setting up a document table in order to control fairly precisely how it appears? And to get around some of these formatting restrictions?

It's been a couple of years since I last used the Excel add-in for Maple 17. It was working before, but now it isn't.
When I click any of the Maple icons in the Excel Add-Ins -> Custom Toolbars tab, I get a Visual Basic run-time error 453, "Can't find DLL entry point vbLoadMapleCursor in WMIMPLEX". The only choice in the dialogue is End, after which none of the Maple icons respond.
When I quit Excel after trying this, I get the same error dialogue except the message refers to vbMapleQuit. I select End, and then Excel exits. (If I don't touch the Maple icons during an Excel session, then of course no VB error dialogue referring to Maple pops up.)
An answer to a ten year old MaplePrimes question on the Excel add-in suggests editing the Excel 2010 32-bit path registry entry. Indeed my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Excel.exe Path key has no reference to Maple. However that info is so old, for Maple 9.5, that I hesitate to use it. I tried though. As suggested in that question, updated for Maple 17, I tried adding ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\Excel\" to the end of the existing Path key entry, but I still get the same VB error. I also tried adding ";C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\bin.win\", and both: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\bin.win\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Maple 17\Excel\". I tried disabling and reloading the add-in from the Excel Add-Ins menu. Interestingly, even when I disable the add-in, the toolbar icons still show.
Anyway I'm at a loss how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. --Graham

Shakey, the world's first mobile, intelligent robot, was developed at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) between 1966 and 1972. Peter Hart, SRI, retired worked on this project from the day it started until the day it ended (By which time he was the project leader). Peter Hart described "how the project got launched, how they approached this new world of robotics, what they actually did, and what the consequences have been for current technology and for modern life." at ICRA-2015.
About Shakey Project
Shakey was one of the first Robotics System that bought together Artificial intelligence, Perception, planning and reasoning in action. Peter Heart, the Founder and Chairman Emeritus (Ricoh Innovation Corp), was one of the initial researchers in the project. It was proposed to DARPA on 8th January 1965 by Artificial Intelligence Center of Stanford University. The title of the project was named "Automata to Reconnaissance". The goal of the project was to bring all areas of Artificial Intelligence like knowledge, reasoning, Planning, Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Natural Language processing under one roof. (Image-1 SRI)
About The Shakey Robot:
Shakey was a mobile robot with cameras and touch sensors, controlled by a large remote computer. It capitalized on progress in computer vision, language processing and planning to understand instructions ("push the block off the platform") and direct its own actions.
Components of Shakey Robot:
- Robot Motion: The robot has stepper motor for moving and dead reckoning for position estimation.
- Sensors: It has two sensors. First a video camera, during the time of project there were no frame grabbers was available for the video camera, Researcher have to design an integrated frame grabber for this robot. Second one was Homemade Laser range finder for obstacle detection and avoidance and Touch sensors.
- Communication: Radio link for communication.
- Power supply: The robot was powered by Truck battery.
- Controller: SDS 940 with 192 kB of RAM was used, later upgraded to DECPDF10 with 672 kB of RAM.
- Experimental Setup for Testing: The Robot has to navigate in six numbers of rooms and has to identify large geometric object of Specific Color present in the room.
SHAKEY: Experimentation in Robot Learning and Planning (1969)
What impact did shakey Project had on the world of robotics and planning? In the word of James Kuffner, Director (Google Robotics), "It is truly amazing how both in terms of architecture and algorithm the Shakey project was ahead of its time and became a model for future robots system for half a century".
Learnings from shakey Project nowadays have been implemented in various robots."We invest in basic research in same reason as we plant trees to benefit future Generation" Peter Hart said at ICRA -2015.
Here is a list of few such project :-
- Architecture derived from Shakey's Layered Control Architecture has been used in modern Robots such as Stanley in DARPA grand challenge2005.
- Many Modern Robots use Robust Action Execution Method which was an integral part of shakey project namely Willow Garage's PR2.
- Adaptive Cell Decomposition currently standard robot Path Planning also used in CAD, CAM software.
- STRIPS Planning Systems Decedents have been used to plan non playing characters in video games.
- Heuristic search A*: a variant of it called Field D* have been used in navigation of Curiosity in Mars.
Shakey today have been kept in Computer History Museum Mountain view, CA.

Although some may consider the practice old school, electrical taping is a valuable skill you shouldn't let slip away
With all of the new products and electrical insulation kits currently on the market, the use of conventional electrical tapes has gone down. As a result, electricians today may not possess the taping skills that once were such an important part of their predecessors' work. Nevertheless, there is still good reason to master this craft — especially for those times when repairs are needed quickly and other products are simply not available.
According to Steve Anderson, a National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) director, the NJATC believes strongly in the importance of splice and termination taping skills for electricians and linemen. "Taping is the first thing covered in our cable splice training course, and we spend a lot of time in this area," Anderson says.
Anderson points out that repair situations can arise in the field where a splicer does not have access to a particular kit for the job. However, knowing how to make proper use of tape can save the day, getting the customer back online quickly. "It's far more economical to complete a job on the spot with tape than to go in search of a kit," Anderson maintains.
The primary tapes used in electrical applications are vinyl, rubber, mastic, and varnished cambric. These products have been used in electrical work for many years, are code approved, and conform to key industry standards, including UL 520, ASTM D1000, and CSA 22.2. The Table below lists the primary uses for each of these types of tape.
The function of moisture-sealing tapes such as vinyl, rubber, and mastic products is to exclude moisture from the insulation assembly and provide electrical insulation. One of these tapes — or alternately a mastic pad — generally forms the second layer of the insulation assembly. Rubber, mastic, and filler tapes are also used to pad the underlying surface by covering sharp edges.
Rubber tapes are generally non-adhesive, and are either equipped with a liner or are linerless. Stretched and overlapped layers will fuse or bond together to form an effective electrical insulation and moisture barrier. For low-voltage (1000V or less) applications, rubber tapes should be stretched during wrapping so that tape width is reduced to approximately 75%. For highand medium-voltage applications — where the electrical stresses are high (e.g. connector areas, lug areas, and cable shield cut-back areas) — tape should be stretched just short of its breaking point.
Vinyl tape forms the final outer layer and serves several important functions in addition to electrical insulation, including abrasion protection, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and protection from chemicals including alkalis and acids. Conformable vinyl tape is tougher than the softer, stickier surfaces of rubber, mastic, and putty tapes it protects.
Several grades of vinyl electrical tape are available — all of which differ in conformability, ease of unwinding, resistance of the adhesive to heat and cold, and loosening (flagging). While general-use vinyl tapes are appropriate for bundling, wire pulling, and other ancillary tasks, premium-grade vinyl tape is the best choice for permanent insulation work as it handles the broadest range of environmental factors and functions, such as cold weather.
You should use a minimum of two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape to insulate and jacket low-voltage components. A half-lap (see Figure above) consists of overlaying each turn by one-half the width of the tape. The general rule of thumb calls for a tape thickness of 1.5 times the thickness of existing wire or cable insulation. In every case, tension on the tape should be sufficient to conform the tape evenly to the surface. A slight reduction in tension is encouraged for the final wrap. Trim the tape end and allow it to return to shape before pressing down with the thumb to avoid lifting or flagging.
When properly applied, quality tapes can serve as valuable standby resources for jobs such as insulating motor lead connections, inline splices, and split bolt and bus bar connections. Let's take a look at some guidelines for each.
Motor lead insulation. In the case of low-voltage motor lead connections, the tape insulating process consists of connecting feeder cables to motor leads and arranging the conductors for easy wrapping. You should begin by wrapping two layers of varnished cambric tape, which is available with or without adhesive. For the adhesive type, apply with the adhesive side out for clean re-entry.
Follow up this first step by wrapping four half-lapped layers of rubber insulating tape over the cambric tape, which creates a moisture barrier and provides the primary insulation in the connection. Finally, over-wrap the assembly with a minimum of two half-lapped layers of vinyl electrical tape. This should extend approximately two tape widths beyond the ends of the rubber tape. Stretch this tape as you wrap it so you get good conformance to the underlying structure. This also helps complete the moisture seal.
Inline splice insulation. You can protect a low-voltage inline splice in a similar manner by wrapping the installed connector with four half-lapped layers of rubber mastic tape or rubber splicing tape, and then over-wrapping it with two half-lapped layers of premium vinyl electrical tape.
Split bolt connection. Protection of a split bolt connection begins with installing the connector and wrapping it with two layers of varnished cambric tape. Next, wrap the splice with four half-lapped layers of rubber or rubber mastic tape. Complete the job by over-wrapping with at least two half-lapped layers of premium vinyl electrical tape.
Bus bar. A common method of insulating a bus bar connection is to first wrap it with two layers of varnished cambric. The subsequent steps consist of four half-lapped layers of rubber or rubber mastic followed by two half-lapped layers of premium vinyl tape.
Electrical tapes are versatile, suited to a multitude of tasks, and when installed properly provide a long-term, effective insulation. According to Anderson, both the NJATC headquarters and local training efforts are strongly supported by industry suppliers, which provide sample products and assist with course development and hands-on instruction. In addition, manufacturers of electrical-grade tapes are generally willing to provide technical support and instruction on proper taping techniques.
"There are many kits and products available to electricians today that simplify their work and help increase productivity," Anderson says. "The properties of electrical tapes have also been steadily improved over the years. These proven products can be adapted to many important electrical insulation tasks, and they continue to be valuable assets for our industry. For that reason, we continue to stress the importance of taping skills and strong product and application knowledge."

About Spicy Shrimp And Long Beans Balado
Spicy Shrimp And Long Beans Balado is a food made from basic ingredients of fresh shrimp, long beans and red chili. Especially Shrimp are large and fresh. The term Balado is derived from the Padang language, West Sumatra, Indonesia, which means food using red peppers are mashed. These foods are eaten together with rice and vegetables. In addition to shrimp and red chili, other commonly used ingredients are Long beans, Lime or Tomato, and Onion. Its spicy flavor makes Balado Shrimp And Long Beans is much preferred by people who like spicy. And now the term Balado is not only used by people in the Western Sumatera but also throughout Indonesia.

Non-linear Simultaneous Fitting/Solution
Asked by Avigdor on 6 Sep 2012
 I am trying to model two vector data sets f1(x) and f2(x) using two non-linear equations with common variables.
 For example:
 f1(x) = a0 + a1(k1,t)*exp(-l1*x) + a2(k1,t)*exp(-l2*x)
 f2(x) = b0 + b1(k1,t)*exp(-l1*x) + b2(k1,t)*exp(-l2*x)
 I would like to simultaneously fit f1(x) and f2(x) to these two equations. Then graphically display the data and fits. The a1, a2, b1, and b2 are expressions which are different but contain the variables k1 and t which will be determined from the simultaneous fit. I would like to use matlab script to do this.
 Is fsolve the way to do this? If so, can somebody please give a little direction as to setting this up?
Edit: I have been trying fmincon, but need the minimization to output a global minimum for the vector data sets, not a minimum at each point. Is there a way around this in simple code?
No products are associated with this question.

Answer by Matt Tearle on 6 Sep 2012
Edited by Matt Tearle on 6 Sep 2012
You can treat this as a least-squares problem with 6 parameters: a0, b0, k1, t, l1, and l2. Then make your objective function the total square error ((y1 - f1(x))^2 + (y2 - f2(x))^2). So something like
function err = myerrorfun(c,x1,y1,x2,y2)
f1 = c(1) + [function of c(3) and c(4)]*exp(-c(5)*x1) +...;
f2 = c(2) + [function of c(3) and c(4)]*exp(-c(5)*x2) +...;
err = (y1-f1).^2 + (y2-f2).^2;
Then in your main program, call a minimization routine like fmincon:
x1 =... % enter/load
x2 =... % all
y1 =... % the
y2 =... % data
% make a function handle of one variable (the parameters), with the data embedded
objective = @(c) myerrorfun(c,x1,y1,x2,y2);
% do the fitting
c_fit = fmincon(objective,...);
Avigdor on 9 Sep 2012
Thank you for the information and concise code!
Do you have any suggestions as to estimation of goodness of fit, or error in fit from such a method?
Matt Tearle on 12 Sep 2012
In this case, myerrorfun is actually returning the sum of the squared error. You can get the function value as a second output from fmincon (or whatever minimization function you used). But if you want more detailed info, you could make functions to evaluate f1 and f2; call these with c_fit and x1 or x2; take the difference with y1 and y2 and now you have the residuals. Apply whatever standard analysis you normally would to the residuals of a regression -- hist, normplot, scatter(resids(1:end-1),resids(2:end)), etc. Or, of course, apply your favorite goodness-of-fit formula (eg adjusted R^2).

with the tstats command.
Functions and memory usage
Some functions are inherently more expensive, from a memory standpoint, than other functions. For example, the distinct_count function requires far more memory than the count function. The values and list functions also can consume a lot of memory.
If you are using the distinct_count function without a split-by field or with a low-cardinality split-by by field, consider replacing the distinct_count function with the the estdc function (estimated distinct count). The estdc function might result in significantly lower memory usage and run times.
Memory and maximum results
In the limits.conf file, the maxresultrows setting in the [searchresults] stanza specifies the maximum number of results to return. The default value is 50,000. Increasing this limit can result in more memory usage.
The max_mem_usage_mb setting in the [default] stanza is used to limit how much memory the tstats command uses to keep track of information. If the tstats command reaches this limit, the command stops adding the requested fields to the search results. You can increase the limit, contingent on the available system memory.
If you are using Splunk Cloud and want to change either of these limits, file a Support ticket.
Complex aggregate functions
The tstats command does not support complex aggregate functions such as ...count(eval('Authentication.action'=="failure")).
Consider the following query. This query will not return accurate results because complex aggregate functions are not supported by the tstats command.
| tstats summariesonly=false values(Authentication.tag) as tag, values(Authentication.app) as app, count(eval('Authentication.action'=="failure")) as failure, count(eval('Authentication.action'=="success")) as success from datamodel=Authentication by Authentication.src | search success>0 | where failure > 5 | 'settags("access")' | 'drop_dm_object_name("Authentication")'
Instead, separate out the aggregate functions from the eval functions, as shown in the following search.
| tstats 'summariesonly' values(Authentication.app) as app, count from datamodel=Authentication.Authentication by Authentication.action, Authentication.src | 'drop_dm_object_name("Authentication")' | eval success=if(action="success",count,0), failure=if(action="failure",count,0) | stats values(app) as app, sum(failure) as failure, sum(success) as success by src
Sparkline charts
You can generate sparkline charts with the tstats command only if you specify the _time field in the BY clause and use the stats command to generate the actual sparkline. For example:
| tstats count from datamodel=Authentication.Authentication BY _time, Authentication.src span=1h | stats sparkline(sum(count),1h) AS sparkline, sum(count) AS count BY Authentication.src
Selecting data
Use the tstats command to perform statistical queries on indexed fields in tsidx files. You can select the data for the indexed fields in several ways.
Normal index data
Use a FROM clause to specify a namespace, search job ID, or data model. If you do not specify a FROM clause, the Splunk software selects from index data in the same way as the search command. You are restricted to selecting data from your allowed indexes by user role. You control exactly which indexes you select data from by using the WHERE clause. If no indexes are mentioned in the WHERE clause, the Splunk software uses the default indexes. By default, role-based search filters are applied, but can be turned off in the limits.conf file.
Data manually collected with the tscollect command
You can select data from your namespace by specifying FROM <namespace>. If you did not specify a namespace with the tscollect command, the data is collected into the dispatch directory of that job. If the data is in the dispatch directory, you select the data by specifying FROM sid=<tscollect-job-id>.
An accelerated data model
You can select data from a high-performance analytics store, which is a collection of .tsidx data summaries, for an accelerated data model. You can select data from this accelerated data model by using FROM datamodel=<data_model_name>.
Search filters cannot be applied to accelerated data models. This includes both role-based and user-based search filters.
An accelerated data model dataset
When you select data within an accelerated data model, you can further constrain your search by indicating a dataset within that data model that you want to select data from. You do this by using a WHERE clause to indicate the nodename of the data model dataset. The nodename value indicates where the dataset is in a data model hierarchy.
When you use nodename in a search, you always use the following construction: FROM datamodel=<data_model_name> where nodename=<root_dataset_name>.<parent_dataset_name>.<...>.<target_dataset_name>.
For example, suppose you want to search on a dataset named scheduled_reports in your internal_server data model. In that data model, the scheduled_reports dataset is a child of the scheduler dataset, which in turn is a child of the server root event dataset. This means that you should represent the scheduled_report dataset in your search as nodename=server.scheduler.scheduled_reports.
If you run that search and decide you want to search on the contents of the scheduler data model dataset instead, you would use nodename=server.scheduler in your new search.
Search filters cannot be applied to accelerated data model datasets. This includes both role-based and user-based search filters.
You might see a count mismatch in the events retrieved when searching tsidx files. It is not possible to distinguish between indexed field tokens and raw tokens in tsidx files. On the other hand, it is more explicit to run the tstats command on accelerated data models or from a tscollect command, where only the fields and values are stored and not the raw tokens.
Filtering with WHERE
You can provide any number of aggregates (aggregate-opt) to perform and also have the option of providing a filtering query using the WHERE keyword. This query looks like a normal query you would use in the search processor. This supports all the same time arguments as search, such as earliest=-1y.
Grouping by _time
You can provide any number of GROUPBY fields. If you are grouping by _time, supply a timespan with span for grouping the time buckets, for example ...BY _time span=1h or ...BY _time span=3d.
Examples
Example 1: Gets the count of all events in the mydata namespace.
| tstats count FROM mydata
Example 2: Returns the average of the field foo in mydata, specifically where bar is value2 and the value of baz is greater than 5.
| tstats avg(foo) FROM mydata WHERE bar=value2 baz>5
Example 3: Gives the count by source for events with host=x.
| tstats count WHERE host=x BY source
Example 4: Gives a timechart of all the data in your default indexes with a day granularity.
| tstats prestats=t count BY _time span=1d | timechart span=1d count
Example 5: Use prestats mode in conjunction with append to compute the median values of foo and bar, which are in different namespaces.
| tstats prestats=t median(foo) FROM mydata | tstats prestats=t append=t median(bar) FROM otherdata | stats median(foo) median(bar)
Example 6: Uses the summariesonly argument to get the time range of the summary for an accelerated data model named mydm.
| tstats summariesonly=t min(_time) AS min, max(_time) AS max FROM datamodel=mydm | eval prettymin=strftime(min, "%c") | eval prettymax=strftime(max, "%c")
Example 7: Uses summariesonly in conjunction with timechart to reveal what data has been summarized over the past hour for an accelerated data model titled mydm.
| tstats summariesonly=t prestats=t count FROM datamodel=mydm BY _time span=1h | timechart span=1h count
Example 8: Uses the values statistical function to provide lists of values for each field returned by the "Splunk's Internal Server Logs" data model.
| tstats values FROM datamodel=internal_server.server
Example 9: Uses the values statistical function to provide lists of values for each field returned by the Alerts dataset within the "Splunk's Internal Server Logs" data model.
| tstats values FROM datamodel=

Democracy is arguably the best political system for businesses.
Democracy is perhaps the safest political mechanism for industry. Any of the world's leading nations, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany, operate under representative political regimes. These countries encourage private companies to work in free markets without government interference. Democratic systems in various countries allow multinational companies to enter the market and enhance competition which leads to quality and efficiency in production. On the other hand, countries that control their markets tend to limit business opportunities. They encourage monopolies create inefficiencies in the market. However, the economic growth of China in the recent past despite non-democratic political system has caused questions on whether democracy is really necessary for the success of business. Nonetheless, most democratic nations top the Forbes' rankings of the most attractive countries for capitalism. Democracies such as Denmark and Sweden are among the best countries to do business.
The Factual evidence that will be used in the essay includes:
The U.S. is one of the leading democracies and is the biggest economies in the world.
Most top 100 companies in Forbes are from democratic countries.
Regulations in China have increased costs of about $70 billion.
Democratization accounts for approximately 0.5% to 1% increase in GDP.
U.S. foreign direct investment in democratic countries is about $250 billion compared to only $20 billion in non-democratic countries.
Essay Plan and Issues to be discussed
The essay will explore the benefits of democracy for businesses. To defend the thesis, this essay will identify the evidence of democratic countries that have prospered in business, especially the U.S. The essay will identify the theoretical and practical contributions of democracy to businesses. We will compare various sources and find a common ground on the topic to identify points that seem to be agreeable among most authors and scholars about the benefits of democracy for business. The essay will also give counterarguments, especially about China and Russia whose economies are improving despite having autocratic political systems. The essay will argue that these economies would have already overtaken the U.S. economically, but autocracies minimize their potential. The essay will look at how autocratic systems are likely to perform more poorly in the near future.
Questions to be answered
Is democracy good for business?
How does democracy affect the private sector?
Why is China's economy growing despite being autocratic?
Why are most successful enterprises come from democratic countries?
What are the costs of non-democratic systems?
Key Terms and References
Democracy: A system of government which involves the rule of law and respect for human rights, and implementation of representative government through voting.

Annotated Bibliography
Badenhausen, Kurt. The Best Countries for Business 2015. Forbes, Dec 16, 2015.
This article provides examples of countries that have provided the best environments for business in 2015. This information will be important for the researcher to find out whether the countries suggested by Forbes are democratic countries or not. If they are, then we prove our thesis that democracy is good for business. Denmark was the leading country for business in 2015, and Sweden was topped the list of 2017. The U.S. is dropping in the rankings due to its increased regulations. Since 2009, the U.S. has enforced over 150 new regulations. Therefore, it is clear that there is a negative correlation between regulations and ease of doing business. It becomes more difficult to do business with increasing regulations, bureaucracies and red tape in less democratic environments.
Rampell, Catherine. Good for Business: Democracy and Economic Growth. The New York Times, October 27, 2008.
This article provides information from a reliable study carried out between 2000 and 2005. The study found that democracies are good for business, and suggested that trying to compare China with the U.S. is erroneous. Rampell uses data from the study to show that democracy contributes approximately 0.5% to 1% of GDP growth. In this regard, democratic systems promote economic growth and development; hence providing a good marketing and business opportunity for businesses. This source is important for the essay because it has researched data that provides evidence for the position of the paper.
Repucci, Sarah. Democracy is Good for Business. Freedom House, August 3, 2015.
This article uses data from World Bank to show that the most democratic countries are good for business. According to Repucci, stable and transparent governments provide the best environments for business to thrive. Democracy provides such opportunities. The article highlights the top performing countries according to World Bank. The best countries for business are free and partly free economies. The author also suggests that undemocratic countries impose red tape, obstruct business contracts, and create barriers to trade. Such barriers prevent multinational corporations from establishing their businesses in the country. This article is important for the essay because it provides evidence for the success of business in democratic democracies.
Smith, Noah. Democracy Is Good for Business. Bloomberg, January 22, 2015.
Smith suggests that China and Russia have grown economically without democracy, against the belief that democracy is good for business. However, the author notes that there are several other economies such as the U.S., UK and Japan which thrive on democracy, freedom diplomacy, and respect for the rules of law. Therefore, China and Russia are just exceptions which may still suffer in future for lack of democracy. This article is important for the essay because it gives a clear perspective of the counterargument of the current debate. It is good to see the issue from both sides in order to arrive at an objective conclusion. However, the article has a weakness in terms bias. The author does not recognize the weaknesses of democratic systems in terms of business operations.
Stroker, Frank. Democracy Rules: Why Business Thrives in Democratic Societies. CIPE, 27 June, 2012.
Stroker provides reasons why businesses thrive in democratic countries. The author suggests that countries that have become free politically are prospering economically. He then gives the reasons why that is the case. This article also provides reasons why the counterpoint of China is not strong enough to dispute the importance of democracy to businesses across the world. Stroker also suggests that over 90,000 protests are experienced in China annually as people show their discontent with corruption and poor governance. The police also arrest suspects without following due process of law. Due to these factors coupled with several labor strikes, many businesses may be concerned about their investments in China.

Empowerment for newly arrived communities and second-generation youth
When we talk empowerment within Exuli project, we tackle it within the framework of social and educational work where empowerment is identified as the process of enhancing an individual's perception of one's own capacities to make decisions and to overcome one's own challenges.
In this project, our beneficiaries are young migrants that they were in most of the cases obliged to leave their homeland seeking for a new hope and a new life.
Most of them find themselves in a common situation: they have to build or rebuild themselves in a territory that has its own conditions, language, codes and morals different from the ones of their own culture. This situation may distort the image and conviction they have in their own competences and abilities.
Through the ateliers proposed in this project, our aim is to give back to those young migrants confidence in their abilities, to overcome the condition of vulnerability that some migrants have due to learning a new language, lacking of self-esteem, or other emotional, social and economic challenges. It aims also making these people pass from a status of receiver to the status of holder of the knowledge, through a process of empowerment.
The combination of the Lacanian psychoanalytical practice with the non-formal education one, has the aim to promote an integrated approach that makes the empowerment of young migrants in the heart of their hosting strategy in the different countries.

|Descrição:||Simple and quick hybridization procedures and ways to keep pollen grains viable for long periods are sought in plant breeding programs to provide greater work flexibility. The present study was carried out to assess the efficiency of pollinations made shortly after flower emasculation and the viability of stored pollen from Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus urophylla clones cultivated in Northwestern Minas Gerais State. Controlled pollinations were carried out at zero, one, three, five and seven days after emasculation. Hybridization efficiency was assessed by the percentage of viable fruits, number of seeds produced per fruit, percentage of viable seeds and also by cytological observation of the pollen development along the style. Flower buds from clones of the two species were collected close to anthesis to assess the viability of pollen grain storage. Pollen was then collected and stored in a freezer (-18oC) for 1, 2 and 3 months. Pollen assessed was carried out by in vitro and in vivo germination tests. The efficiency of the pollinations varied with their delay and also between species. The greatest pollination efficiency was obtained when they were carried out on the third and fifth day after emasculation, but those performed simultaneously with emasculation produced enough seeds to allow this practice in breeding programs. The decrease in pollen viability with storage was not sufficiently significant to preclude the use of this procedure in artificial hybridization.|

have tried to use it, and found it to be cumbersome (perhaps you figured it out right away, in which case... well done). Right off the bat if you try to use this like the regular warp tool and just grab a spot and move it, it will simply add a little marker where you clicked and move the entire object as is. Then, if you add another point somewhere and try to move that point, it will simply rotate the object around the first point you made.
The trick is to think of this layer like it is a puppet! Let's say you're trying to bend an arm; I did this very thing in order to place the first arm and then again to re-use the already created arm for the other side. I wanted to re-position it so it didn't just look like a copy of the closer arm. Before you can start warping it around like you do with regular warp, you have to lay down your jointy points. Huh? Allow me to explain. If (like I said) you imagine this layer like it's a puppet (almost as if it's one of those poseable wooden dolls with all the little joints that are often used as art reference), you have to mark all the "bendy joints." For example, place one on the hand, one at the wrist, one at the elbow and one at the shoulder. Now if you grab any of those points and move them, you can position them differently and it should (for the most part) bend and alter like it's an actual arm.
LEFT: place points RIGHT: Move points
The Puppet Warp works sort of like rotating hinges, but you have to set up the hinges first so it knows how to bend. As I mentioned a couple paragraphs ago (hopefully you can remember that far back... ), if there are only two points, moving one will just rotate the object around the other point. But as soon as you add a third point and move it, then the other two points will essentially remain in place and you can bend the object around the center point, like it's an elbow. Are you following? (Kindly review the above graphic for visual learning stimulation.)
I hope you found some of these tips useful! If you watch the speed edit video below, it should give you somewhat of a visual of what it looks like to put these tips into action. (Like really sped up action... ) Good luck on your next Photoshopping adventure - bring some of these transforming weapons with you, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
