Custom-made earbuds and hearing aids conventionally require a mould of your ear canal to be taken using silicon gel or putty. This then expands and hardens to create an accurate model of your inner ear.
A company called Lantos aims to transform this process with a pencil-thin 3D scanner. The slim scanner can be popped into the ear without the user even feeling it. The end of the scanner has a light and a membrane that can be inflated so it travels all of the way down the ear canal -- something that the silicon gel method cannot achieve. A liquid is then pushed into this membrane, allowing a camera to take note of thousands of data points along the canal.
This provides a much more comfortable way of creating a 3D ear map. The idea was initially developed in an MIT lab presided over by Doug Hart. Hart was responsible for developing a 3D oral scanning technology that has replaced the need for impression moulding teeth for dentistry purposes.
Jeffrey Leathe has just been appointed as the new CEO of the company with responsibility for commercialising the technology for hearing aid, military and consumer use. He has already headed up three new ventures within bioscience and will be responsible for using a recently-secured $4.1 in funding to move the prototype into production.
The technology -- which is undergoing clinical trials in the US -- could be useful for creating comfortable ear protection and communications devices for soldiers.
There are already a number of companies that specialise in making custom-made earbuds, including ACS, Sonomax's Sculpted Eers and Ultimate Ears. Lantos aims to provide an even more accurate and comfortably fitted earbud.

The previous posts exposed you to OpenIG: use cases and an initial configuration example. Before going further, I would like to introduce the underlying concepts that you should understand.
HTTP Exchanges Requests and Responses
OpenIG is a specialized HTTP reverse-proxy: it only deals with HTTP messages. The purpose of OpenIG is to give a complete control over the messages flowing through itself (incoming requests and outgoing responses).
In order to ease handling of the whole message processing (request and response), OpenIG uses the concept of Exchange: it's a simple way to link a Request and a Response together. It also contains a Session instance that can be used to store session-scoped properties. The Exchange itself is a Map so it's a natural container for request-scoped properties.
When a request comes through OpenIG, an Exchange object is created and populated with an initial Request and a Session instance.
A Request is the OpenIG model for an incoming HTTP message, it captures both the message's entity and all of its headers. It also has dedicated accessors for message's target URI, cookies and form/query parameters.
A Response is the complementary model object for outgoing HTTP messages. In addition to the entity and headers accessors, Response provides setter for the HTTP status code (20x -> ok, 30x -> redirect, 50x -> server error, …).
Exchange processing
Now we have a model of the message's content, what can we do to apply transformations to it?
OpenIG offers a simple, but powerful, API to process exchanges:
 - Handler that are responsible to produce a Response object into the Exchange
 - Filter that can intercept the flowing Exchange (incoming and outgoing)
Handler
What do the doc says about Handler.handle() ?
Called to request the handler respond to the request.
A handler that doesn't hand-off an exchange to another handler downstream is responsible for creating the response in the exchange object.
Hmmm, an example would help, right ?
OpenIG offers a rich set of Handlers, the most significative one would be the ClientHandler. This is a highly used component usually ending Exchange's processing that simply forward the Request to the required URI and wraps the returned HTTP message into the Exchange's Response.
In other words, it acts as a client to the protected resource (hence the name).
Filter
Again, what do the doc says about Filter.filter() ?
Filters the request and/or response of an exchange.
Initially, exchange.request contains the request to be filtered. To pass the request to the next filter or handler in the chain, the filter calls next.handle(exchange). After this call, exchange.response contains the response that can be filtered.
This method may elect not to pass the request to the next filter or handler, and instead handle the request itself. It can achieve this by merely avoiding a call to next.handle(exchange) and creating its own response object the exchange. The filter is also at liberty to replace a response with another of its own after the call to next.handle(exchange).
This is easier to understand I think, everyone is used to interceptors nowadays…
The traditional example of a Filter is the CaptureFilter: this filter simply prints the content of the incoming request, then call the next handler in chain and finally prints the outgoing response's content.
Filters are contained inside a special Handler called a Chain. The chain is responsible to sequentially invoke each of the filter declared in its configuration, before handing the flow to its terminal Handler.
All together: a Chain example
If you have your OpenIG up and running, please shut it down and replace its configuration file (config.json) with the following content:
Compared to previous, this configuration will enhance the response message with an additional HTTP header named X-Hello.
The message flow is depicted in the following diagram:
Exchange Flow
A Filter can intercept both the Request and the Reponse flows. In this case, our HeaderFilter is configured to only act on the response flow (because the outgoing message is a handy way to observe a filter in action from an outside perspective).
Wrap up
OpenIG provides a low-level HTTP model API that let you alter HTTP messages in many ways. The message processing is handled through some kind of pipeline composed of handlers and filters.
All the processing logic you want to apply to your messages finally depends on the way you compose your handlers and filters together.
Next
In the next post we'll see how to debug your configurations.

For this example, a hand-drawn sketch was scanned and imported as an image and will be traced over, to demonstrate the freehand tool functionality.
The new Freehand tool preference gives the option to specify the degree of smoothing.
The higher the smoothing, the smoother the curve will be, and fewer vertices will be created. The Freehand tool can also be set to no smoothing to revert to the legacy Freehand tool functionality.\
The pond in the upper left corner was traced using the Freehand tool with a high smoothing preference. It is important to note that the speed at which the mouse is moved is not directly correlated to the number of vertices that are created, as the legacy Freehand tool functioned.
The new edit mode of the Freehand tool allows editing on the fly, saving editing steps later with the 2D Reshape tool.
The edit mode can add or subtract area to the polylines simply by snapping to the edge of the polylines, dragging the mouse to create the new surface and snapping back to the edge of the polyline.
The editing capabilities of the Freehand tool are not limited to objects created using the Freehand tool. The edit mode can also be applied to any other 2D objects, such as squares, polygons, circles, arcs, etc.
The edit mode can also be used to subtract surface area from 2D objects. Repeat the same steps used for adding a surface above.

Separation of Large and Small RNA into Fractions using the Monarch® RNA Cleanup Kits
Following this protocol enriches RNA below 200 nt into the "small RNA" fraction, while RNA above 200 nt is enriched in the "large RNA" fraction. No fractionation protocol allows precise separation of similarly sized RNA based on length alone. We find RNA between 100–200 nt will preferentially partition to the different fractions based on various factors, including predicted secondary structure and interactions with other RNAs within the sample. Highly structured molecules between 100–200 nt typically fall into the small RNA fraction while unstructured RNA between 100–200 nt fall into the large RNA fraction.
Before You Begin:
 2. Add 50 μl (1 volume) RNA Cleanup Binding Buffer to the 50 μl sample.
 3. Add 50 μl (1/2 volume) ethanol (≥ 95%). Mix well by pipetting up and down or flicking the tube. Do not vortex.
 4. Insert an RNA Cleanup Column into a collection tube and load sample onto column (Column #1, labeled "large RNAs") and close the cap. Spin for 1 minute. Save the flow through! For samples with a starting volume larger than 300 μl, load a portion of the sample, spin, and then repeat as necessary.
 Small RNAs are in the flow through; to isolate small RNAs, continue with Step 5. Large RNAs are bound to column #1. To isolate large RNAs, continue with Step 7.
 5. Add 150 μl (1 volume) ethanol (≥ 95%) to the flow through and mix.
 6. Transfer the mixture to a new column (Column #2, labeled "Small RNAs") and centrifuge for 1 minute. Discard the flow through.
 7. Insert columns into collection tubes. Add 500 μl RNA Cleanup Wash Buffer to each and spin for 1 minute. Discard the flow-through.
 8. Repeat wash (Step 7) for both columns.
 T2030 6–20 µl N/A 1 minute
 T2040 20–100 µl N/A 1 minute
The Monarch RNA Cleanup Kit can be used to separate RNA into large and small RNA fractions
HeLa Total RNA (5.2 μg, A1 and B1) was separated into large RNA (A2 and B2) and small RNA (A3 and B3) fractions following the Purification of Small and Large RNAs into Separate Fractions Protocol and running on an Agilent Bioanalyzer® RNA Pico chip. Over 96% (5 μg) of the RNA input was recovered in the separate RNA fractions. Samples 1 and 2 were diluted 1:20 prior to analysis.

Nardol was the third Beacon of Gondor. It stood on the broad end of a ridge of the White Mountains, west of the Drúadan Forest, and the guard station maintained there could create a huge signal fire when needed. It was well-stored with fuel and at need a great blaze could be lit. Its fire could be visible on a clear night even as far as the Halifirien (some 120 miles to the west). The guard of Nardol also protected the quarries.[1][2]
A line of hills ran from Nardol to Amon Dîn.[3]
[edit] Etymology
Nardol is Sindarin, meaning "fire-hilltop" (naur "fire" + dol "hill"), because its beacon-fire was so bright.[5]

António Guterres, Honorary PhD, calls for a solitary response to the refugee crisis
During the appointment ceremony at the Universidad Europea, attended by Felipe González, who gave the citation address
The Universidad Europea Academic Council granted an Honorary PhD to António Guterres for his contribution to helping refugees, in recognition of his support for stateless people, and for safeguarding the rights of those forced to leave their country due to war, revolution or political persecution. Guterres gave a speech that focused on the refugee crisis in Europe in a context in which "the sovereignty agenda is gaining ground on the human rights agenda".
"In this context of a Europe that is incapable of coming together to solve this problem, we are witness to the sad spectacle of crowds crossing the Balkans from border to border. That image of chaos is the result of Europe's inability to organize itself to solve the problem, and it has created a current of rejection in public opinion that favors populism", explained the recently appointed Honorary PhD. He also believes that Europe's actions have set a bad example to other countries that look to "richer" countries; precisely those who have proven to be the least solitary with this humanitarian problem.
The ceremony citation address was given by Felipe González, President of the Spanish Government from _PHONE_. During his speech, he highlighted his friendship with the new Secretary General of the United Nations, who he has known for 25 years, and whom he has attributed "moderation" as one of his main characteristics, but noting that this moderation comes from "the strength of his convictions, his personality, tenacity and determination". González also said that "there are few candidates to lead the UN and the best has been chosen".
Guterres' investiture was requested by the School of Social Sciences and Communication for his leadership as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a position he held until December 2015 (prior to his recent appointment as the new UN Secretary General for the period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021).

nebular module is now called lines\_width as the nebular prefix was redundant. (Médéric Boquien)
218 219 220 221 222
- Prefix the ouput variables of SFH-related modules with "sfh" to facilitate their identification in the output files. (Médéric Boquien)
- Prefix the output variables of the fritz2006 AGN module with "agn" to facilitate their identification in the output files. (Médéric Boquien)
- Prefix the redshift with "universe". (Médéric Boquien)
- With pcigale-plot, draw the spectra only to λ=50 cm as the models do not extend much further and there is very rarely any observation beyond λ=21 cm. (Médéric Boquien)
- As pcigale is getting much faster, display the number of computed models every 250 models rather than every 100 models. (Médéric Boquien)
223
- Give default values for the dl2014, sfh\_buat, and sfhdelayed modules to allow for quick test runs. (Médéric Boquien)
224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232
- Now pcigale-plots plots errors on upper limits. (Denis Burgarella)
### Fixed
- When plotting, round the redshift to two decimals to match the redshift of the model. (Médéric Boquien)
- Ensure that all the input parameters of the nebular module are also output so it is possible to analyse them. (Médéric Boquien)
- Properly take the Lyman continuum photons absorbed by dust into account to compute the dust emission. (Médéric Boquien)
- Improve the readability of the pcigale-plots generated spectra by drawing the observed fluxes on top of other lines. (Médéric Boquien)
- The nebular components are now plotted with pcigale-plots. (Médéric Boquien)
- When a filter that was not in the database was called, pcigale would crash ungracefully as the exception invoked does not exist in Python 3.x. Now use a Python 3.x exception. (Médéric Boquien)
233
- The dustatt\_powerlaw module could not identify which physical components to attenuate when the nebular module was called. (Médéric Boquien)
234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248
- The displayed counter for the number of objects already analysed could be slightly offset from the number of models actually computed. (Médéric Boquien)
- Change the method to compute the χ² in the presence of upper limits as the previous method did not always converge. (Denis Burgarella and Médéric Boquien)
### Optimised
- When plotting, do not recompute the luminosity distance, which is very slow, but rather get the one computed during the analysis and that is given in the output files. (Médéric Boquien)
- Adding new physical components with a wavelength sampling different than that of the pre-existing grid is slow as a common grid has to be computed and all components interpolated over it. The nebular lines are especially bad for that, owing to the fact that each line is sampled with 19 points. This is excessive as sampling over 9 points barely changes the fluxes while speeding up the computation of the models by ~20%. (Médéric Boquien)
- Rather than resampling the filter transmission on the wavelength grid every time the flux is computed in a given filter, put the resampled filter into a cache. (Médéric Boquien)
- Rather than recomputing every time the merged wavelength grid from two different wavelength grids (for instance when adding a new physical component or when integrating the spectrum in a filter), put the results in a cache. (Médéric Boquien)
- Before adding a new component to a SED, we first copy the original SED without that component from the cache. This copy can be very slow when done automatically by python. We rather do this copy manually, which is much faster. (Médéric Boquien)
- When adding a new physical component with a different wavelength sampling, rather than reinterpolating all the components over the new grid, compute the interpolation only for new wavelengths. (Médéric Boquien)
- Various minor optimisations. (Médéric Boquien)
- When computing the flux in filters, np.trapz() becomes a bottleneck of the code. A large part of the time is actually spent on safeguards and on operations for nD arrays. However here we only have 1D arrays and some variables can be cached, which allows some optimisations to compute fluxes faster. (Médéric Boquien)
- The output parameters of a model were stored in an ordered dictionary. While convenient to keep the order of insertion it is very slow as it is implemented in pure Python for versions up to 3.4. Rather we use a regular dictionary and we reorder the parameters alphabetically. (Médéric Boquien)
- To store the SED in memory and retrieve them later, we index them with the list of parameters used to compute them. We serialise those using JSON. However JSON is slow. As these data are purely internal, rather use marshal, which is much faster than JSON. (Médéric Boquien)

I am working with Pseudomonas fragi and I could not help but notice that it smells sweet, which probably explains its species name 'fragi' from 'fragum', strawberry in Latin.
Does anybody know what causes this bacterium to smell sweet? It must be some volatile compound that they release in the air? Why would they do that? Do other bacteria release odorant molecules? If so, why?

An immigrant who is considered an "outstanding researcher or professor" may qualify for a EB-1B visa. The immigrant must be internationally acclaimed in his/her scientific or scholarly field of work.
Unlike EB-1A Visas, EB-1B immigrant visas must be employer sponsored meaning that the professor or researcher must have sponsorship from his/her employer throughout the petitioning process in order to receive a EB-1B Visa. Through the petition process, the employer becomes the petitioner and the immigrant receiving the EB-1B Visa is the beneficiary.
You must demonstrate international recognition for your outstanding achievements in a particular academic field. You must have at least 3 years' experience in teaching or research in that academic area. You must be entering the United States in order to pursue tenure or tenure track teaching or comparable research position at a university or other institution of higher education.
To be recognized internationally as an Outstanding Researcher or Professor in one's field requires at least two (2) of the following types of evidence:
- Evidence of receipt of major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement
- Evidence of membership in associations that require their members to demonstrate outstanding achievement
- Evidence of published material in professional publications written by others about the alien's work in the academic field
- Evidence of participation, either on a panel or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or allied academic field
- Evidence of original scientific or scholarly research contributions in the field
- Evidence of authorship of scholarly books or articles (in scholarly journals with international circulation) in the field
Applying for a EB-1B can be a grueling and involved process to provide enough evidence that you have been recognized internationally in your work. Be prepared for all situations by having a lawyer by your side. It is crucial to have an experienced professor and researcher visa immigration lawyer by your side to help you through the application process to make sure that you have met all the required criteria to be granted a EB-1B Visa.

Management of Technology Investment Risk with Real Options-Based Design: A case study of an innovative building technology
Author(s)Greden, Lara; de Neufville, Richard; Glicksman, Leon R.
Implementation of innovative technologies is hindered by the perceived risks of technical failure or increased first cost. However, by designing a system to include real options within its architecture and by recognizing the value in operational flexibility, the project's value is structured to avoid downside risks yet benefit from upside opportunities. A real options based methodology for innovative engineering system design consists of identifying relevant uncertainties, designing options "in" the system, and modeling the performance of the options-based design subject to the uncertainties. The results guide decision makers on how much to spend on the design and construction of a flexible system. A case study of the market value of an innovative naturally ventilated building with embedded option to install mechanical cooling in the future demonstrates how the option "in" the system protects the asset from downside outcomes in market value yet allows it to benefit from upside opportunities.

Horizontal metal briquetting machine (horizontal metal chip compacting machine, metal chip/waste steel briquetting recycling machine) is the ideal equipment for processing copper chips, iron chips, aluminum chips. Compared with the vertical metal briquette machine, although this machine has a large footprint, it has a larger pressure, which can press the metal chips into a high-density block under the action of a hydraulic punch.
Brief introduction of horizontal metal briquette machine
The scrap iron briquette recycling machine is suitable for pressing various non-ferrous metals, such as stainless steel metal shavings, copper shavings, iron shavings, alloy shavings, zinc, bronze, titanium, magnesium, etc. The metal chip briquetting machine is special forging equipment for the metal recycling industry. It can compact metal chips into high-density briquettes in a short time and then send them into the furnace to improve the utilization rate of the furnace.
What are the disadvantages of recycling metal scrap directly?
- Iron filings are small in volume and high in density. Directly put into the furnace for smelting will block the rising channel of the furnace air and directly affect the melting effect.
- When the airflow in the furnace is large, the iron filings will be blown away, resulting in a low discharge rate.
- Iron filings can be easily attached to the furnace wall without briquette treatment, making the furnace wall thicker and corrosive to the furnace.
- Scrap iron, silicon, manganese, and other materials are not easy to store. Their contact with water and air will cause oxidative deterioration. However, the melting point of iron oxide is higher than that of iron, which results in long melting time and increase of combustion cost
- Iron chips are easy to be wrapped by slag, resulting in the low utilization rate of raw materials.
How much is a horizontal metal briquetting machine?
The price of a machine is often directly proportional to its quality. This machine is mainly composed of a base plate hydraulic cylinder, forming a hydraulic cylinder, pushing hydraulic cylinder, supporting mold frame and mold, press head, motor, hydraulic oil tank, over-pressure and over-current protection device, emergency stop protection device, control panel, etc. The electrical part adopts international famous brands to ensure that the machine can work continuously for a long time. The hydraulic system adopts advanced technology to ensure a tight connection and no oil leakage.
Good machines are sold to those who know it; bad machines are sold to those who compare prices. Many machines don't look very different from each other in appearance, but they can't be further studied. The material used, the thickness of the machines' material, the quality of the motor, and the manufacturing process are all factors that cause the different price of the machine.
Working principle of horizontal metal briquette recycling machine
Put the filings, lathe processing filings, shavings, iron filings, brass filings, aluminum chips, and other metal raw materials into the feeding hopper of the machine. The raw materials enter the forming mold of the machine through the hopper and are pressed by the hydraulic punch to make solid metal blocks. Then, it is pushed out by the pushrod and enters the discharge conveyor belt. This machine can be used in combination with bucket elevator, metal shredder, etc.

When is an owlet not an owlet but really an owl? When it's an Asian barred owlet (or other species of owlets, of course). Learn more about this small but fierce owl!
Asian Barred Owlet Fun Facts
- The Asian barred owlet (Taenioglaux cuculoides) is one of 14 owl species with the official "owlet" name, all of which are part of the Strigidae family. The word owlet is also used to refer to baby owls of any owl species.
- Within their large range, these birds have several different common names, including barred owlet, cuckoo owl, and cuckoo owlet. Because these names are so general, however, it is best to refer to the bird's scientific name when identifying it so there is no confusion about which species is which.
- While small at just 9-10 inches long, these owls are still fierce hunters and prey on insects, lizards, amphibians, small mammals, and even small birds. They may even catch small birds or bats in flight.
- There are 5-8 subspecies of Asian barred owlet that vary in overall range and subtle plumage color differences. As studies continue about these birds, it is possible the subspecies may be split into different distinct owlet species.
- Unlike many owls, the Asian barred owlet is most active hunting during the day, when its preferred insect prey is also more active and easily captured. This owl is also often heard as part of the dawn chorus.
- When agitated, this owlet will slowly sway or wag its tail from side to side, creating a threatening display intended to ward off intruders. This behavior is quite distinctive and can help identify the bird.
- The Asian barred owlet was featured on a 2014 collectible postage stamp in Mozambique. The stamp was issued for 175 meticals (the local currency of Mozambique), which was roughly equivalent to $5.80 USD (at the time of the stamp's issue).
Adding the Asian Barred Owlet to Your Life List
Most owls can be challenging to add to your life list, and while the Asian barred owlet is considered relatively common in its range from China and southeast Asia into the Himalayan Mountains in northeastern Pakistan, they can still be difficult to find. In some cases, they may be found in gardens and parks, and contacting a local birding group or experienced guide can be a good way to locate an easier-to-see Asian barred owlet. These birds are more common at higher elevations with extensive pine forests and evergreen jungles, but owling trips should be carefully planned for safety. It is helpful that this owl is largely diurnal and hunts during the day, making it somewhat easier to see than more nocturnal owls.

2 Way Match Vs 3 Way Match Vs 4 Way Match In AP
The Differences Between 2 Way Matching, 3 Way Matching, an… Matching In AP
2-way, 3-way, and 4-way matching is a vital part of accounting when it comes to procurement and receiving. As one of the best internal controls to keep your business from paying for things you didn't receive or overpaying for things you did, it is well worth the effort it takes.
The Differences Between 2 Way Matching and 3 Way Matching In AP
If you work in accounting, you're probably already aware of the 2-way match vs 3-way match, but for those that aren't, let's take a closer look at each.
2-Way Matching
In 2-way matching, the purchase order and invoice information are verified to match within your tolerances as shown:
 - The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity ordered
 - The invoice price must be less than or equal to the purchase order price
3-Way Matching
3-way matching, adds an additional criterion is added to verify that the receipt and invoice information match with the quantity tolerances you define.
The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity received.
4-Way Matching
And 4-way matching adds yet another criterion to verify that acceptance documents and invoice match within your quantity tolerances.
The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity accepted.
Setting your tolerance is also critical to determining your matching criteria. Sometimes companies consider quantities inside the tolerance limits as matched.
For instance:
If you order 100 items and have a 5% tolerance, and there is an invoice quantity of 103, this is within the tolerance and the matching system accepts it.
However, if you order 100 items with a 5% tolerance, and there is an invoice quantity of 115, this is outside the tolerance and the matching system will flag it for manual review.
Why PO-Matching Matters to Your Organization
If you're not an accounting professional, this may seem overly complex. In reality, all you're doing is ensuring you're only being billed for the number of items you ordered at the price you were quoted and confirming that you did receive the quantity you ordered.
The allowance for less than or equal to means that a vendor shipping more than the quantity you agreed upon or charging less than you agreed to is acceptable. This setup only flags in situations where a vendor sends less or charges more than the agreed-upon amounts.
This setup places the responsibility of error in favor of the consumer onto the vendor and is found in delivery-based manufacturing more often than many many realize.
"Without matching controls, the company could be purging money and not even realize it. Blindly paying invoices means you could be paying more than the agreed-upon price, paying for more than what you received, or paying for the same product multiple times. The matching process prevents paying fraudulent invoices."
How 2-Way, 3-Way, and 4-Way Matching is Done
In the past, this type of matching was done manually, which was time-consuming and left a lot of room for error. Traditional, the purchase order was filled out on paper and handed over to accounting. The vendor then invoiced the company and shipped out the product.
When the product was received, the receiving clerk would verify the quantity of product received, giving the packing slip to the accounting department. The accounting department would then compare the packing slip to the purchase order, then the purchase order to the invoice, and the invoice to the packing slip to make sure all the numbers lined up.
It was a lot of work for the accounts payable department and the receiving department. It all relied on the fact that a receiving clerk was indeed correctly verifying goods receipt and that the corresponding purchase order was readily available.
Now, thanks to AP automation, the accounts payable processes are streamlined. Two-way matching, three-way matching, and even four-way matching occur automatically once purchase orders, receiving reports, and invoices are all in the system.
If during the invoice matching process something doesn't line up, it is flagged for review, someone can take a look at it and solve the issue before making payment.
If the matching process goes smoothly, the company can take advantage of early payment options during invoice processing. This keeps vendors happy and may even position the company in such a way that they can leverage discounts to save even more money on future orders.
When it comes to 2-way match vs. 3-way match, three-way is the better option because it compares the purchase order to the receipt of the goods to the invoice to make sure you're only paying for goods you ordered and received.
Though accounting automation takes a bit of setup work to get started, it is well worth it in the end. Once in the system, everything will run through you're pre-established routing and rules for approvals, matching, and verification to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the entire procure to pay process.
With PLANERGY, there are notifications to keep the involved parties informed when there is something that must be done or any document requires their attention.
This eliminates misplaced documents and waiting periods, and the back-and-forth conversation that has to occur between departments.
PLANERGY automatically uses 3-way matching to streamline your workflow.

Middleware intercepts traffic between the client and the API (whether real or simulated), and allowing you to manipulate it.
You can use middleware to manipulate data in simulated responses, or to inject unpredictable performance characteristics into your simulation.
Middleware works differently depending on the Hoverfly mode.
- Capture mode: middleware affects only outgoing requests
- Simulate mode: middleware affects only incoming responses (cache contents remain untouched)
- Synthesize mode: middleware creates responses
- Modify mode: middleware affects requests and responses
You can write middleware in any language. There are two different types of middleware.
Hoverfly has the ability to invoke middleware by executing a script or binary file on a host operating system. The only requires are that the provided middleware can be executed and sends the Middleware JSON schema to stdout when the Middleware JSON schema is received on stdin.
Hoverfly can also send middleware requests to a HTTP server instead of running a process locally. The benefits of this are that Hoverfly does not initiate the process, giving more control to the user. The only requirements are that Hoverfly can POST the Middleware JSON schema to middleware URL provided and the middleware HTTP server respones with a 200 and the Middleware JSON schema is in the response.
When middleware is called by Hoverfly, it expects to receive and return JSON (see Simulation schema). Middleware can be used to modify the values in the JSON but must not modify the schema itself.
Hoverfly will send the JSON object to middleware via the standard input stream. Hoverfly will then listen to the standard output stream and wait for the JSON object to be returned.
Middleware examples are covered in the tutorials section. See Using middleware to simulate network latency and Using middleware to modify response payload and status code.

Visualize Indonesia Population 2007 to 2012 in City and Village as Data Geek III Entry
While looking at Data Geek Entry Blog Post on Lumira SCN. I was looking for data sets for my internal projects but then I came across to Indonesia data sets in which interested to me as this is my home country data being provided and I'm challenge on how to visualize the data sets.
So as the provided data set came with .svid extensions which is an early version of Lumira and still named Visual Intelligence. I just go ahead and open the file with my Lumira 1.19 and good things it can be open, in which then I save it as different name so it will be save in .lums which is the new extensions for Lumira.
Below screenshots is the final results of my Data Story that shows Indonesia population who lived in City and Village from 2007 – 2012.
So I am using Esri Map that already included in Lumira and also using prompt and animation to show on how the movement trending of Indonesia population from Village to City and how this trend make cities in Indonesia becoming more towards an Urban City. Using geo map we can easily visualize Indonesia is consists of many islands and the concentration of people is mainly on Java island (the lower part) as visualize on map and less population of City and Village in Central and Eastern part of Indonesia.

MISSISSIPPI FATHER AND SON AWARDED
1998 NATIONAL WETLANDS CONSERVATION AWARD
Two Natchez, Mississippi landowners are to receive the coveted 1998 National Wetlands Conservation Award for the Southeast Region at an August 12, 1998, ceremony on in New Orleans, Louisiana. The award, presented annually by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to individuals in the Southeast Region, honors citizens who have made significant efforts to protect, enhance and restore our Nation's wetlands.
Charles C. Feltus and son, Charles C. Feltus, Jr., with the aid of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife program, are preventing flooding on 1,000 acres of their property in the Mississippi flood plain and are reforesting 400 of those acres to bottomland hardwoods.
"The Feltus's have provided us with a rare opportunity to restore feeding and nesting habitat for bald eagles located directly across the river from their property," says the Service's Southeast Regional Director, Sam D. Hamilton. "Several species of neotropical migratory birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, wading birds, and fish will also benefit," he said
The Feltus's have partnered with the Service to plant hardwood seedlings on 400 acres of marginal crop land that will help reduce flooding and decrease sediment loads in the river, said Calvin Lunceford of the Service's Vicksburg, Mississippi, Field Office. He noted that the restoration and reforestation of 700 acres of marginal crop land and 300 acres of wooded wetlands has been ongoing for the last year and a half.
Also involved in helping to complete these projects have been Ducks Unlimited, Inc., who contributed water control structures, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service that contributed design and engineering work. The Feltus's installed the water control structures, ditch plugs, and did levee work. Reforestation has begun and will continue over the next 2 years, Lunceford said.
Reforestation on the Feltus's land is being accomplished through the Partners for Fish and Wildlife, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service program. Through Partners, the Service forms an alliance with private landowners and other organizations to protect and improve wildlife habitat on private land while the land remains in private ownership. For more information about the program, please contact the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, 1875 Century Boulevard, Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia 30345, telephone 404/_PHONE_.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish and wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service's nearly 93 million acres include 514 national wildlife refuges, 78 ecological services field stations, 66 national fish hatcheries, 50 wildlife coordination areas, and 38 wetland management districts with waterfowl production areas.
The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes Federal excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. This program is a cornerstone of the Nation's wildlife management efforts, funding fish and wildlife restoration, boating access, hunter education, shooting ranges, and related projects across America.

Our long-standing customer Thielenhaus Technologies GmbH is a manufacturer of micro-machines and uses MEITEC-measuring systems with renowned end users around the globe in some types of machines that are manufactured in various international locations.
In-process measurements with MEITEC measurement controls and EMK2
Up to six in-process measurement positions with up to twelfe MEITEC measuring heads also help with workpieces with interruptions, for the reliable production of parts with minimum manufacturing tolerances.
In addition to in-process measuring points, MEITEC technology is also used – depending on application – in pre-process and/or post-process measuring points for raw materials or finished part surveying and classification. By using a pre-process measuring point, an exact relation can be established between the workpiece input variables and subsequent processing. This allows for example highly accurate drilling depths and step heights to be performed.
The control of machining cycles, also by means of constant erosion measurement or measurement halving, are standard features of measurement control functions. Thielenhaus Technologies also uses MEITEC systems in other types of machines, such as inductive amplifiers with axial sensors for tilting adjustments.

From The Farm
We grow hundreds of varieties of fruit, vegetables, and herbs each year. Varieties include:
Our Farm stand is located in front of our barn at our farm in Riley Center, MI. Please stay in the parking lot and front porch area. The barn, greenhouses, and fields are not open to the public.
Open 7 Days a week 9am-9pm
Produce is available throughout the season in limited quantities throughout the growing season (May-November).
Why Choose Organic Produce & Plants-
Growing to organic standards (OMRI) these days starts right from the seeds you choose. Most seeds that are grown in commercial greenhouses and farms come from large seed companies and are treated with multiple chemicals, including neonics (pesticides increasingly linked to the decline of bees), which grow with the plant and can transfer into the soil, and some GMO vegetable varieties, such as summer squashes and sweet corn, have been widely accepted by local greenhouses and growers. All of our plant varieties are selected by us for outstanding taste, productivity and hardiness. We use our experience as growers AND producers to select only the very best varieties for Michigan gardeners. For more info on our growing practices, visit Our Practices.

Ecological Insights is currently working with partners on multiple different projects.
Managing Grazing Lands for Carbon Uptake
Ecological Insights is working in partnership with multiple organizations as well as ranchers to determine the impact of grazing on the uptake of carbon in grazing lands. We hope to develop a model that ranchers and investors can use to determine the net carbon uptake in grazing lands. It is our hope that this can be used to increase the value of grazing lands.
Ecological Insights in partnership with North Dakota Game and Fish, the NRCS, Ducks Unlimited, the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, and more are working to promote and create healthy, thriving grasslands that provide biodiversity and prosperity for wildlife, pollinators, ranching operations and communities by supporting ranching, establishing grasslands, offsetting developmental impacts, promoting societal benefits, and advancing science and education.
Turtle Mountain Buffalo Hemp Project
Ecological Insights is working with the Turtle Mountain Band Chippewea on their hemp fiber program. This project is based on indigenous models of sustainability. The goal of the project is to use the growth of hemp and the grazing of Buffalo to increase Carbon sequestration.

The Glacier protocol is lengthy and complex because the tools for high-security cold storage do not exist. This appendix briefly outlines some of the tool functionality that would address this gap. For additional technical details, see the Glacier design document.
Ideally, the Bitcoin community (and other cryptocurrency communities) will create these tools as soon as possible and render Glacier obsolete. We invite inquiry and consultation by others interested in developing these tools.
Cold Storage Hardware Wallets
- Function like conventional hardware wallets, but eternally quarantined (no wireless or wired connections)
- Keyboard for entering data (key recovery, user entropy for key generation)
- Camera for reading QR codes (for unsigned transactions)
- Screen for displaying data, including QR codes (for complex data such as signed transactions)
- Generate keys from user-provided entropy (ideally two combined sources)
- Support for BIP39 and HD keys
- Multisig support
- Each wallet storing one key is probably the way to go
- Ability to for each device to add one single signature to a transaction, so only one key needs to be stored on a given device
- Compatibility with HD keys
- All deterministic algorithms (for key generation, transaction generation, etc.)
- Multiple wallet products on the market which use as many different hardware components as possible (to minimize the possibility of a common flaw / vulnerability)
- Simple to use
- Display steps user through security steps – how to safely generate their entropy, double-checking that addresses are correct, verifying duplicate algorithm results on an alternate device, etc.
- Optional side channel protection
- Partner with a company that manufactures some sort of Faraday glove box, and market it to customers who have extra-high security concerns
Bitcoin Core improvements
Until robust cold storage hardware wallets are created, improvements in Bitcoin Core could go a long way towards improving and simplifying Glacier, including reducing the necessary complexity of GlacierScript.
- Add support for importing and using BIP32 HD keys.
- Generate keys based on raw user entropy so that key generation can be deterministically checked by a second quarantine computer.
- BIP39 key generation support
- Promotes security through ease of use, and reduces risk of transcription errors

A British scientist named Robert Edwards has won the Nobel Medicine Prize for his work on in-vitro fertilisation. The committee said that Edwards' work "represents a milestone in the development of modern medicine".
The 85-year-old scientist began developing the process in the 1950s. Fertilisation outside of the human body had previously eluded scientists, but Edwards combined an egg and a sperm in a petri dish, and then successfully implanted the resulting fertilised cell back in the patient's uterus. The first person to be concieved using this procedure was Louise Brown, in 1978.
Since then, about four million people have been born using IVF techniques, and it has a live birth rate of about 27 percent, though that varies dramatically based on the demographics and background of the parents.
Edwards also founded the first IVF centre in Cambridge, the Bourn Hall Clinic.
The Nobel jury added: "A new field of medicine has emerged, with Robert Edwards leading the process all the way from the fundamental discoveries to the current, successful IVF therapy. Long-term follow-up studies have shown that IVF children are as healthy as other children."
The announcements of the physics and chemistry prizes will be made on 5 and 6 October, and the higher-profile awards -- literature and peace -- will follow on 7 and 8 October. The economics prize will be awarded the following week -- 11 October, 2010.
Last week, the satirical Ig Nobel prizes were handed out, rewarding scientific research that "first makes people laugh, and then makes them think". The winners included study into fellatio in fruitbats, a method to collect whale snot using a miniature helicopter, and research that indicates that asthma can be treated with roller-coaster rides. You can see the full list of results in our story about the Ig Nobels.

Mountain Tourism Conditions in Bulgaria are Bad
Bad conditions for hiking in the mountains are bad. This was reported by FOCUS News Agency by the Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) to the BRC.
Over the most of the mountains there will be rain. Weather is cloudy and foggy in many places. At Botev peak a hurricane wind blows, in the lower parts the wind is weaker. In some places, a snow cover of about 15-20 cm is formed.
The SCP warns that the rain that is raining now will melt it, but this means that as the temperatures fall in the coming days, ice will form. Exits to the mountain are not recommended except as a last resort.
The lifts will not work until the winter season is discovered. There are no recorded tourist incidents over the past 24 hours.

digestive health and pregnancyA few weeks ago, my husband asked me to make five salads for him so that he could have one for lunch each day. I cringed at the idea. It is so against everything I believe in.
I tell all of my fertility patients to stay away from raw and cold foods. When I start the "no raw foods" conversation with them, reactions range from shock to confusion. After all, in America, raw foods are quick and easy, and full of nutrition, right? Let me explain why you should be eating cooked foods, and how it will help you conceive.
Raw Food vs. Cooked
Let's think of your tummy as an oven. When you put something raw in the oven it take a lot longer to cook and uses a lot more energy than if you are heating something already cooked. Similarly when you eat raw and cold foods, it's going to take a lot more energy to digest than it would take to digest cooked foods. The organ system that is in charge of digestion is the spleen organ system. The spleen is a disposable organ in the Western Medicine world, but it's an indispensable organ in the Chinese Medicine world. It supplies the energy to nourish the body by extracting them from the foods we eat.
Foods and Your Organs
Each food is associated with a certain organ system. If the Spleen is overworked by eating excessive amounts of raw and cold foods, it becomes sluggish and energy production slows down. As a result, the rest of the body becomes sluggish as well, and the rest of the organ systems become malnourished. Symptoms of Spleen deficiency include fatigue (especially after a meal, known as the "food coma"), bloating, gas, loose bowel movements, bruising easily, heavy menstrual bleeding, and cold hands and feet.
Raw Foods and Fertility
How will all this impact your fertility? In addition to working hard to supply energy for the body, the Spleen has the additional tasks to send energy to the uterus every month to help thicken the lining, and sustain the pregnancy when conception occurs. When it's sluggish, the energy in the uterus will be sluggish. Not a good scenario when you are trying to get pregnant! When you eat warm foods, you nourish the spleen, in turn nourishing the rest of your body. Think of it as preheating the oven. You wouldn't want to throw a casserole in the oven without pre-heating it first. Same thing when it comes to getting pregnant. We want to preheat the uterine oven, so when that little embryo travels down to the uterus, it has an inviting home to become a sticky bean!


Arduino will record every time there is a rising digital signal from Encoder A.
 - Encoder B (sometimes labeled C2) of the motor connects to pin 4 of the Arduino. The signal that is read off pin 4 on the Arduino will determine if the motor is moving forward or in reverse. We're not going to use this pin in this tutorial, but we will use it in a future tutorial.
 - The VCC pin of the motor connects to the 5V pin of the Arduino. This pin is responsible for providing power to the encoder.
 - For this project, you don't need to connect the motor pins (+ and – terminals) to anything since you will be turning the motor manually with your hand.
Write and Load the Code
Now we're ready to calculate the number of encoder pulses per revolution. Open the Arduino IDE, and write the following program. The name of my program is pulses_per_revolution_counter.ino.
/*
 * Author: Automatic Addison
 * Website: _URL_
 * Description: Count the number of encoder pulses per revolution.
 */
// Encoder output to Arduino Interrupt pin. Tracks the pulse count.
#define ENC_IN_RIGHT_A 2
// Keep track of the number of right wheel pulses
volatile long right_wheel_pulse_count = 0;
void setup() {
 // Open the serial port at 9600 bps
 Serial.begin(9600);
 // Set pin states of the encoder
 pinMode(ENC_IN_RIGHT_A , INPUT_PULLUP);
 // Every time the pin goes high, this is a pulse
 attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(ENC_IN_RIGHT_A), right_wheel_pulse, RISING);

}
void loop() {

 Serial.print(" Pulses: ");
 Serial.println(right_wheel_pulse_count);
}
// Increment the number of pulses by 1
void right_wheel_pulse() {
 right_wheel_pulse_count++;
}
Compile the code by clicking the green checkmark in the upper-left of the IDE window.
Connect the Arduino board to your personal computer using the USB cord.
Load the code we just wrote to your Arduino board.
Now, follow the following steps in the image below.
open-serial-monitorJPG
When you open the Serial Monitor, the pulse count should be 0.
2_starting_pulses
Using your hand, rotate the motor a complete 360-degree turn.
Here is the output. We can see that there were 620 pulses generated.
3-ending-pulses
Thus, this motor generates 620 pulses per revolution.
That's it. Keep building!

The connotation'statistical significance' takes into account the number of samples as well level of confidence in making a conclusion based on these samples the level of confidence is typically denoted as 1-alpha (1 minus alpha), where alpha is basically the chance that the reported conclusion will incorrect. I can understand the relationship between the significance level of a test, p(type ii error) do not us the p-hat or x-bar (statistics) values in place of the. The relationship between confidence intervals and significance testing. Type i and ii errors and significance levels type i error rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true is called a type i error many people decide, before.
Statistical significance, & effect size if you plan to use inferential statistics (eg, t-tests, anova, etc) to analyze your evaluation results, you should. So, if your significance level is 005, the corresponding confidence level is 95% if the p value is less than your significance (alpha) level, the hypothesis test is statistically significant if the confidence interval does not contain the null hypothesis value, the results are statistically significant. The relationship between effect size and statistical significance is discussed and the use of confidence intervals for the latter outlined some advantages and. Answer as the p-value is much less than 005, we reject the null hypothesis that β = 0hence there is a significant relationship between the variables in the linear regression model of the data set faithful note. There is, however, an exact correspondence between the t-test of difference between two means and the confidence interval for the difference between the two means if the confidence interval for the difference between two means contains zero, a t-test for that difference would fail to reject null at the same level of confidence likewise if the.
What is the difference between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing (some discussion ensues about this statistical significance without any mention of or. The confidence level tells you how sure you can be and is expressed as a percentage the 95% confidence level means you can be 95% certain the 99% confidence level means you can be 99% certain α (alpha) is called the significance level, and is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. Is there a relationship between confidence intervals and two-tailed hypothesis tests let c be the level of confidence used to construct a confidence interval from sample data let %u03b1 be the level of significance for a two-tailed hypothesis test the following statement applies to hypothesis tests of the mean.
Sample size calculator terms: confidence interval & confidence level the confidence interval (also called margin of error) is the plus-or-minus figure usually reported in newspaper or television opinion poll results for example, if you use a confidence interval of 4 and 47% percent of your sample picks an answer you can be sure that if you. What is the relationship between levels of confidence and statistical significance what are the major differences between practical and statistical significance what is more important for the researcher to be concerned about in a study, type i or type ii errors why basic help starts at : $20 note: the price above is for the [. Significance is a statistical term that tells how sure you are that a difference or relationship exists to say that a significant difference or relationship exists. Choosing the levels of significance chapter 8 3/19/12 lecture 18 - xuanyao he 1 two-sided hypothesis testing and confidence intervals • a two-sided significance.
This lesson explores the basic principle of statistical significance and why it is important to understand when performing nearly any statistical test. Significance of correlations values the table below lists the correlation values that are significant at 4 significance levels and specified degrees of freedom to perform a 1-tailed test, simply use the values in the list for example, the 95% significance level correlation value for 40 years is listed under the 950 column for 40 degrees of. What is the relationship between levels of confidence and statistical significance what are the major differences between practical and statistical significance. Since zero is lower than 200, it is rejected as a plausible value and a test of the null hypothesis that there is no difference between means is significant it turns out that the p value is 00057 there is a similar relationship between the 99% confidence interval and significance at the 001 level.
Significance testing refers to the use of statistical techniques that are used to determine whether the sample drawn from a population is actually from the population or if by the chance factor usually, statistical significance is determined by the set alpha level, which is conventionally set at 05. The significance level α is the threshold for p below which the experimenter assumes the null hypothesis is false, and something else is going on this means α is also the probability of mistakenly rejecting the null hypothesis, if the null hypothesis is true sometimes researchers talk about the confidence level γ = (1 − α) instead this is. Best answer: level of confidence: defined as a parameter (usually called alpha) how likely the interval is to contain the parameter is determined by the confidence level or confidence coefficient statistical significance: defined as a result.
The connotation'statistical significance' takes into account the number of samples as well level of confidence in making a conclusion based on these samples. The most common choice for a statistical significance level is 05, which means that the probability of a relationship due to random chance is below 5 percent the significance level helps a researcher determine whether to reject the null hypothesis, the hypothesis that states there is no relationship between the variables. A relationship is more significant if the relationship is stronger or the sample size is larger (or both) weak relationships are significant only in large samples in sociology the level of significance we usually employ as a divide between significant and non-significant findings is 05 (for smaller samples 10. Since the observed data are random samples from the true population, the confidence interval obtained from the data is also random if a corresponding hypothesis test is performed, the confidence level is the complement of the level of significance for example, a 95% confidence interval reflects a significance level of 005.
Research rundowns quantitative methods significance testing (t-tests) in this review, we'll look at significance testing, using mostly the t. Statistical literacy guide confidence intervals and statistical significance : last updated: june 2009 author: ross young & paul bolton : this guide outlines the related concepts of confidence intervals and statistical significance and gives examples of the standard way that both are calculated or tested. Thus, in the long run, for a test with level of significance of 005 = 1/20, a true null hypothesis will be rejected one out of every 20 times p-values the other number that is part of a test of significance is a p-valuea p-value is also a probability, but it comes from a different source than alphaevery test statistic has a corresponding probability. This may or may not be true, as statistical data analyses are always subject to error if the level of confidence is high, a result is less likely to be statistically significant, especially if it is unfounded if the level of confidence is low, a result is more likely to be statistically significant but at the cost of being a false positive. Statistical significance level tells you about the probability of claiming based on sample data that 2 (or more) groups are different (or correlated) when they really aren't finally, note that setting the statistical significance level, or alpha, has a direct impact on the calcuation of a confidence interval lowering alpha from 05 to 01, for.

Potential users should become familiar with TDRSS capabilities and constraints, which are detailed in the NSNUG, as early as possible. This action allows the user to evaluate the trade-offs available among various TDRSS services, spacecraft design, operations planning, and other significant mission parameters. It is recommended that potential users contact the Near Space Network as early as possible for assistance in performing the trade studies. When these evaluations have been completed, and the user desires to use TDRSS, the user should initiate a request for TDRSS service.
(a) Initial requests for TDRSS service from non-U.S. Government users shall be addressed to SCaN at NASA Headquarters, as follows: Deputy Associate Administrator: Space Communications and Navigation Division, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, DC 20546.
(b) Upon review and acceptance of the service request, preliminary analyses shall be performed to determine the feasibility of meeting the proposed requirements.
(c) If the request is determined to be feasible, the user and SCaN shall negotiate an agreement for provision of the requested services. Acceptance of user requests for TDRSS service is the sole prerogative of NASA.
(d) Upon approval of the agreement by both parties, GSFC will be assigned to produce the detailed requirements, plans, and documentation necessary for support of the mission. Changes to user requirements shall be made as far in advance as possible and shall be submitted, in writing, to both SCaN at NASA Headquarters (see Section 108, paragraph (a) for mailing address) and GSFC, as follows: Chief: Commercialization, Innovation, and Synergies, Code 450.1, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, M/S 450.1, 8800 Greenbelt Road Greenbelt, MD 20771.

that is 1/2.
The evidence-adjustment factor
With our prior beliefs represented as probability equations, let's get back to computing that evidence adjustment.
(evidence adjustment) = P(H|S∧K) / P(H|K)
The numerator on the right-hand side we already know: P(H|S∧K) = 1.
The denominator, P(H|K), we do not. We must find some way to break it into terms that we do know.
The nice thing about propositions, like H, is that we can use Boolean logic to manipulate them. So, let's break H into pieces that are more likely to be useful:
H = H∧(S ∨ ¬S) = (H∧S) ∨ (H∧¬S).
What I did was split the proposition that the coin comes up heads into a disjunction of two mutually exclusive propositions: that the coin comes up heads and is special, or that the coin comes up heads and is not special. That first term of the disjunction, however, is redundant: if a coin is special, our prior knowledge already tells us that it must come up heads; therefore, we can simplify H∧S to S. Now we have,
H = S ∨ (H∧¬S), given K,
P(H|K) = P((S ∨ (H∧¬S))|K).
We can break up the disjunction on the right-hand side using the sum rule for probabilities, which is given as:
P(A∨B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∧B).
Since our disjunction is of mutually exclusive propositions, the final term of the sum-rule expansion drops out; therefore,
P(H|K) = P(S|K) + P(H∧¬S|K).
Now let's crack that new final term, P(H∧¬S|K). To do so, we'll use the product rule for probabilities:
P(A∧B) = P(A|B) P(B) = P(B|A) P(A).
P(H∧¬S|K) = P(H|¬S∧K) P(¬S|K).
And, already knowing that P(H|¬S∧K) = 1/2, we can simplify the right-hand side:
P(H∧¬S|K) = P(¬S|K)/2.
And substituting this reduction back into the equation for P(H|K) gives,
P(H|K) = P(S|K) + P(¬S|K)/2.
We can further simplify the equation by noting that P(S|K) + P(¬S|K) must equal 1 and, therefore, that the ¬S term can be rewritten in terms of S to give,
P(H|K) = P(S|K) + (1 - P(S|K))/2 = (1 + P(S|K)) / 2.
Now, to bring it all home, let's plug these values into our evidence-adjustment formula:
= P(H|S∧K) / P(H|K)
= 1 / P(H|K)
= 1 / [(1 + P(S|K)) / 2]
= 2 / (1 + P(S|K)).
And that's our evidence-adjustment factor. Now, what does it do?
Adjusting our beliefs in light of the new evidence
To better understand what the evidence adjustment does, let's recall the original belief-adjustment equation:
(new plausibility) = (old plausibility) × (evidence adjustment)
So the adjustment factor nudges our initial degree of belief, whatever it may be, one way or the other, depending on the evidence. To see the effect of this nudge for various initial degrees of belief, consider the following plot:
Looking at the plot, let's see if the nudge agrees with our intuition. First, if we were absolutely convinced that the coin is (or is not) special, no amount of evidence should sway our beliefs. Looking at the plot, we see that when our prior probability is 0 or 1, so is our adjusted (posterior) probability, exactly what we expected.
But what if our initial knowledge is complete ignorance about the coin being special? In that case, upon seeing the coin toss, our prior probability of 1/2 gets nudged to the posterior probability of 2/3 – toward the belief that the coin is indeed special. Again, it's what we would expect.
In fact, the evidence adjustment is always going to push us toward confirming the belief that the coin is special because the evidence supports that belief. The force of that push, however, depends on how surprising we find the evidence, that is, how much it challenges our prior beliefs. The following plot shows this relationship:
Note that the evidence provides the strongest push – a factor of 2 – when our prior knowledge makes us doubt most strongly that the coin is special. On the other extreme, when we are already convinced that the coin is special, observing that the coin comes up heads when tossed isn't surprising at all, and correspondingly the evidential push of that observation is nothing: an adjustment factor of unity.
Answering the original question
Finally, with our evidence adjustment well in hand, we can answer the original question: After seeing the outcome of this single coin toss, how much more should you believe my claim that the coin always comes up heads, compared to what you believed before the coin toss?
The answer, we reasoned earlier, is the evidence adjustment less one:
(relative plausibility increase)
= [evidence adjustment] – 1
= [2 / (1 + P(S|K))] – 1
= [2 / (1 + (prior plausibility))] – 1
= (1 – (prior plausibility)) / (1 + (prior plausibility))).
So, if we let p represent our prior degree of belief that the coin is a special, heads-always coin, we should be
100% × (1 – p) / (1 + p)
more confident in our belief after seeing the coin come up heads when tossed.
And that's the answer.
But there are other ways of arriving at it. One of the more convenient is to use odds instead of probabilities. But let's save that discussion for next time.
Update: Here's the promised discussion: Odds and the evidence of a single coin toss.

New design awards celebrate Hydrogenerator
Gensler teamed with 4240 Architecture have been awarded Silver in a new multi-disciplinary design award, in recognition of their proposals for turning water into electricity.
The collaboration was formed to create a proposal that transforms Chicago's abandoned Bloomingdale rail line into a three mile long greenhouse and hydrogen generator that provides 10 acres of farm land year round, powers city schools, and creates a beacon for the city. The Spark Awards recognised the potential in the unbuilt project awarding Gensler and 4240 Architecture with their Silver award.
Chicago's Bloomingdale railroad viaduct runs through the city's heart, connecting neighbourhoods, the city's park system, and the Chicago River. The three-mile long elevated rail line was abandoned in the 1980s and currently sits neglected, overtaken by vegetation, garbage, and debris. It is at once an eyesore as well as a beautiful wilderness set against a dense urban backdrop.
"Our city's challenges are too significant and the Bloomingdale Line's potential too great for it to be just another park," said Gensler design director Brian Vitale. "The Bloomingdale Line is worthy of a greater purpose, one that will directly affect people in most need within the city."
While the greenhouse above produces food, the hydrogen generator below creates electricity to split water molecules into pure Hydrogen and Oxygen. This new fuel cell energy will be used to power nearby Chicago Public Schools, in turn helping the CPS reverse its budget shortfall from last year which resulted in teacher layoffs to offset rising utility bills. "Simply put, Hydrogen = Teachers," say Gensler. The excess Hydrogen will be sold to alternative fuel vehicles at depots throughout the line.
As it produces this much needed food and energy, the Hydrogenerator simultaneously releases oxygen as the by-product of photosynthesis and hydrogen production -- a truly sustainable loop.

Out of the world's 195 countries, there are only five whose names start with the letter "K." However, even though the sound "K" starts with the names of only three countries in English, this same sound is used in roughly 90% of all languages!
Additionally, in English, the "K" sound appears in only 0.69% of all words. This fact comes from researchers at Cornell University who examined a sample of 40,000 english words. Yet, how these three countries got their names that start with "K" is a fascinating story, so keep reading to learn more.
All Countries That Begin With K
Kazakhstan gets its name from the Kazakh people who live there, which literally means "land of the Kazakhs." The name Kazakh comes from the Turkic word "qazaq" which means "free spirit" or "free man." This name can be traced back to the region's nomadic lifestyle and culture that still carries on to this day.
Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world and the 9th largest country in the world overall. This country is located on the continent of Asia. Its neighboring countries are China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.
Kenya derives its name from Mount Kenya, the tallest mountain in the country. The name of Mount Kenya changes depending on the local dialect, but the meaning remains the same. Whether it is "Kĩĩma- Kĩĩnyaa," "Kĩ-Nyaa," or "Kirenyaa" they all translate into "mountain of whiteness" due to the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya.
Found in East Africa, Kenya borders Uganda, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. Kenya's history delves deep into prehistory and is considered to be the cradle of mankind. Some of the oldest human fossils and skeletons were discovered here.
The origins of how the land now called Kiribati got its name are rather charming and unique. In the 19th century, the islands that would one day become Kiribati were colonized by the British Empire and renamed the Gilbert Islands. The locals often mispronounced the name Gilbert into something that resembled "Ki-ri-bas." When the islanders were given their independence in the 1970s, the name stuck and became Kiribati.
The country consists of 33 islands. Many of these islands are uninhabited since they mostly consist of lagoons, coral atolls, and white sand beaches. With very few natural resources in Kiribati, the country's economy relies majorly on tourism.
Kuwait owes its name to the Arabic words Kut or Kout, which means "fort" or "fortress." This name is in reference to its capital city, Kuwait City, which can be traced to when it was once a heavily defended and vital trade node in the Middle East.
Even today, Kuwait is still one of the wealthiest countries in the Middle East per capita, thanks to its massive oil reserves. In the West, Kuwait is best known for being the victim of Saddam Hussein's invasion of 1990, kicking off the First Gulf War. Today, the small oil giant is doing much better and enjoys a high standard of living relative to its neighbors.
Also known as Kirghizia in the local language, the country's name is said to be derived from a Turkic word for 'forty' in reference to the 40 clans of the great Manas. The nomadic lifestyle that is typical of Central Asian nations is still strong in Kyrgyzstan, with its very name honoring the memory of its tribal past.
Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked Asian country that borders China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. It was once a part of the Soviet Union but broke off when the USSR collapsed in the early 1990s. The Kyrgyz culture is a fascinating blend of East Asia, Russia, and the Middle East, all wrapped into one.
There are only five countries that begin with K, but they are all fascinating in their own right. All of them are home to their own rich history and culture. Three of these countries are in Asia, 1 in Africa, and another in Oceania.

An animal detection system with the warning lights activated resulted in 1.52 mi/h lower vehicle speeds (compared to warning lights off) for passenger cars and pick-ups.
Alerting drivers to the presence of large animals in the road at Yellowstone National Park.
The study area was on US Highway 191 inside of the Yellowstone National Park, with a posted speed limit of 55 mi/hour. The data collection period occurred over two weeks in which there was mostly no precipitation. Researchers installed three traffic counters and road tubes outside and inside of the detection area. The counters recorded the date, time, vehicle type, vehicle speed and gap (in seconds) between vehicles. When vehicles moved in platoons, only the speed of the first vehicle in a platoon was used as a data point when the signs were activated (since the following vehicles may be influenced by the speed of the first one). A sample size of 2,428 vehicles per 24 hour period was used.
The deployment of an animal detection system at Yellowstone National Park found that passenger cars, pick-ups, vans, and trucks with two units or more had lower vehicle speeds by 1.52 mi/hour with warning signs activated compared to warning signs off. Although the difference is small, it is important to note that small reductions when vehicles are traveling at high speeds have a disproportionate decrease in the probability of severe accidents.
The data also showed that the number of collisions with large animals was 58 to 67 percent lower than was expected (but could not be tested for significance due to the variability in the number of collisions and just one year of post installation collision data). Driver opinion of the system documented in interviews revealed that a majority (59 percent) would have liked to see the system stay in place. The system was removed in the fall of 2008 due to high maintenance and a lack of spare parts.
