Description
The New-AzRoleDefinition cmdlet creates a custom role in Azure Role-Based Access Control. Provide a role definition as an input to the command as a JSON file or a PSRoleDefinition object. The input role definition MUST contain the following properties:
 1. DisplayName: the name of the custom role
 2. Description: a short description of the role that summarizes the access that the role grants.
 3. Actions: the set of operations to which the custom role grants access. Use Get-AzProviderOperation to get the operation for Azure resource providers that can be secured using Azure RBAC. Following are some valid operation strings:
 - "*/read" grants access to read operations of all Azure resource providers.
 - "_URL_" grants access to read operations for all resource types in the Microsoft.Network resource provider of Azure.
 - "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/*" grants access to all operations of virtual machines and its child resource types.
 1. AssignableScopes: the set of scopes (Azure subscriptions or resource groups) in which the custom role will be available for assignment. Using AssignableScopes you can make the custom role available for assignment in only the subscriptions or resource groups that need it, and not clutter the user experience for the rest of the subscriptions or resource groups. Following are some valid assignable scopes:
 - "/subscriptions/c276fc76-9cd4-44c9-99a7-4fd71546436e", "/subscriptions/e91d47c4-76f3-4271-a796-21b4ecfe3624": makes the role available for assignment in two subscriptions.
 - "/subscriptions/c276fc76-9cd4-44c9-99a7-4fd71546436e": makes the role available for assignment in a single subscription.
 - "/subscriptions/c276fc76-9cd4-44c9-99a7-4fd71546436e/resourceGroups/Network": makes the role available for assignment only in the Network resource group. The input role definition MAY contain the following properties:
 1. NotActions: the set of operations that must be excluded from the Actions to determine the effective actions for the custom role. If there is a specific operation that you do not wish to grant access to in a custom role, it is convenient to use NotActions to exclude it, rather than specifying all operations other than that specific operation in Actions.
 2. DataActions: the set of data operations to which the custom role grants access.
 3. NotDataActions: the set of operations that must be excluded from the DataActions to determine the effective data actions for the custom role. If there is a specific data operation that you do not wish to grant access to in a custom role, it is convenient to use NotDataActions to exclude it, rather than specifying all operations other than that specific operation in Actions. NOTE: If a user is assigned a role that specifies an operation in NotActions and also assigned another role grants access to the same operation - the user will be able to perform that operation. NotActions is not a deny rule - it is simply a convenient way to create a set of allowed operations when specific operations need to be excluded. Following is a sample json role definition that can be provided as input { "Name": "Updated Role", "Description": "Can monitor all resources and start and restart virtual machines", "Actions": [ "/read", "Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualmachines/restart/action", "Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualmachines/start/action" ], "NotActions": [ "/write" ], "DataActions": [ "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers/blobs/read" ], "NotDataActions": [ "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers/blobs/write" ], "AssignableScopes": ["/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"] }

There could be genetic reasons why some women succumb to pressure to be thin, while others maintain a positive body image, according to US researchers.
"We're all bombarded daily with messages extoling the virtues of being thin, yet intriguingly only some women develop what we term thin ideal internalisation," study author Jessica Suisman from Michigan State University said in a press release.
"This suggests that genetic factors may make some women more susceptible to this pressure than others."
Suisman and her colleagues studied more than 300 female twins aged 12 to 22 to see whether genetic factors influenced how vulnerable women are to societal thin ideals.
They measured how much the participants wanted to look like people from TV, movies and magazines, then compared identical twins, who share exactly the same genes, with fraternal twins, who share 50 percent of their genes.
The researchers found identical twins had closer levels of thin idealisation, which suggested genetics plays a part in determining body image.
"We were surprised to find that shared environmental factors, such as exposure to the same media, did not have as big an impact as expected," Suisman said.
"Instead, non-shared factors that make co-twins different from each other had the greatest impact. The broad cultural risk factors that we thought were most influential in the development of thin-ideal internalisation are not as important as genetic risk and environmental risk factors that are specific and unique to each twin."
Megan O'Connor, from Eating Disorders Victoria, told ninemsn that experts are becoming increasingly aware of the potential genetic link.
"There are often examples of a mother and two of her daughters having eating disorders –– anecdotally we are hearing of family traits," she said.
O'Connor said families need to be aware of the possible genetic link and put responsible measures in place.
"People can certainly modify the sorts of language they use in their family about weight, dieting and body shape," she said.
"There is evidence to suggest that eating family meals together and having a healthy and relaxed relationship with food helps protect against eating disorders."
The study was published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.

It is an additional part used in the joints made by electrofusion method. Two pipes of the same diameter are inserted into this insert. With the current given to the resistances inside the fitting, both pipes are adhered to each other.
HDPE EF Service Te; This additional piece, whose raw material is PE 100, is used in liquid or gas infrastructure systems. Its most important feature is that it provides liquid or gas flow from a line to another direction. It is produced in accordance with the EF welding method. There are two types of EF Service Tee, EF Valved Service Tee and EF Valveless Service Tee.
HDPE Ef Equal Te; HDPE Ef Equal Te fitting, whose raw material is PE100, has the same diameter at all three ends. Connection is made using the electrofusion joining method. It is used for valve and branch connections at the main and intermediate line outlets that must be connected at right angles.
HDPE EF Inegal Te; HDPE EF İnegal Te insert, whose raw material is PE100 and means unequal TE, is used for the connection of HDPE pipes of different diameters and is joined by electrofusion method. This additional piece is used in valves and branches at the main and intermediate line outlets, as in HDPE Ef Equal Te.
HDPE Ef Blind Plug; Ef blind plugs, whose raw material is PE 100, are produced in accordance with the electrofusion method. These attachments are used to close the line. While choosing the plug, the diameter of the pipe should be considered and the appropriate one should be selected.
HDPE EF Elbows; Elbows produced from PE raw material are produced in accordance with the EF welding method, in accordance with the placement of resistances. Elbows are at various angles in accordance with the angles specified in the project and are used in the turns of the lines.
HDPE EF Saddle; Ef Semer TE, the raw material of which is PE100, is used to draw the direction of the fluid to the desired direction by making an outlet in the desired diameter without using the insert piece. EF Saddle, which is one of the biggest features of providing great convenience, is one of the most preferred attachments.
HDPE EF Reduction; It is used for joining HDPE PE100 pipes of two different diameters. Hdpe Pipes are joined by electrofusion welding method. This material, also known as HDPE electrofusion reduction reducer, is shipped in the most appropriate way with high quality standards.

This is one of our more unusual themes, because only two censuses have ever gathered
information on religion in England and Wales, and they were 150 years apart!
The 1851 Census of Religion was a separate census carried out at the same time as the main Census of Population. It assumed that everyone was Christian, and tried to find out what kind of Christians were most important in each district. It did this by counting how many people attended each church on the census Sunday. Our information has been considerably simplified from the original returns, which counted 35 different religious groups in England and Wales. One result is a large 'other' category.
In 2001, a question about religion was included among the questions in the main census for the first time ever. Except in Scotland, where there is separate information on the Church of Scotland, Catholics and 'Other Christian', the results lump all Christians together but also gathered information on Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and Sikhs. People were allowed to write in other religions not included on the census form, but we have no data on the distribution of 'Jedi'.
Our detailed statistics are held in structures called nCubes, which you can think of as tables with one dimension, or with two... or with twenty. Their dimensions are defined by the variables each nCube combines, and each variable is made up of categories. These nCubes are available at national level for this theme:
|Available nCubes||Period covered||Variables
(number of categories)
|1851 church 'attendances'||1851||
Major Christian denominations in 1851
Major religious faiths in 2001
|Attending all churches||1851||

Campus Middle School for Girls
Campus Middle School for Girls is an independent not for profit school that offers quality education for 25-30 middle school aged girls in grades 6-8. It provides individual attention and rigorous course offerings. Special emphasis is put on promoting girls interest in the fields of math and science. Dedicated and highly qualified teachers, small class sizes, the all-girls environment, and the strong belief that girls are highly talented in math and sciences are some of the key elements CMS is relying on to strengthen the individual students early attitude towards these subjects to prevent the loss of interest as it is so often the case.
CMS is collaborating with the University in many ways and it is an outreach partner with several UI outreach activities, many in the fields of sciences. CMS is located on the UI campus. Tuition is the only reliable income and we try to keep it the lowest in the Champaign-Urbana area. This decision allows UI students who are parents and other low income families to consider CMS for their daughters. This results in a very tight and modest budget for CMS. Collaboration with LINC allows the opportunity for improvement in several key areas that would otherwise be postponed or not carried out at all.
Problems and/or Opportunities
Developing an On-line Math Curriculum CMS offers a demanding math curriculum for middle school students. Our vision is to put our curriculum on-line by further expanding our use of Moodle. By creating an on-line math curriculum we can not only better individualize our instruction for students, but also move towards a better integrated use of technology.
Potential Solutions and Projects
Developing an On-line Math Curriculum In order to begin the process of putting our math curriculum on-line, LINC students can help us:
- Identify best practices for fully utilizing the blending of on-line and class instruction
- Explore how best to use and implement the technical aspects of on-line curriculum
- Work with our math teachers to begin the process of creating on-line curriculum and determining how best to start the process

General Relationships between Abiotic Soil Properties and Soil Biota across Spatial Scales and Different Land-Use Types.
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: PloS one
Very few principles have been unraveled that explain the relationship between soil properties and soil biota across large spatial scales and different land-use types. Here, we seek these general relationships using data from 52 differently managed grassland and forest soils in three study regions spanning a latitudinal gradient in Germany. We hypothesize that, after extraction of variation that is explained by location and land-use type, soil properties still explain significant proportions of variation in the abundance and diversity of soil biota. If the relationships between predictors and soil organisms were analyzed individually for each predictor group, soil properties explained the highest amount of variation in soil biota abundance and diversity, followed by land-use type and sampling location. After extraction of variation that originated from location or land-use, abiotic soil properties explained significant amounts of variation in fungal, mesoand macrofauna, but not in yeast or bacterial biomass or diversity. Nitrate or nitrogen concentration and fungal biomass were positively related, but nitrate concentration was negatively related to the abundances of Collembola and mites and to the myriapod species richness across a range of forest and grassland soils. The species richness of earthworms was positively correlated with clay content of soils independent of sample location and land-use type. Our study indicates that after accounting for heterogeneity resulting from large scale differences among sampling locations and land-use types, soil properties still explain significant proportions of variation in fungal and soil fauna abundance or diversity. However, soil biota was also related to processes that act at larger spatial scales and bacteria or soil yeasts only showed weak relationships to soil properties. We therefore argue that more general relationships between soil properties and soil biota can only be derived from future studies that consider larger spatial scales and different land-use types.

Work Status by Age of College Students in Utah
September 19, 2019
In the Utah Data Research Center's latest report on Outcomes for Working College Students in Utah, it analyzed students ages 17 to 54 and separated them into two subgroups: ages 17-29 (younger) and ages 30-54 (older). This was to reflect the different decisions these groups make since younger students tend to attend college for the first time, while older students tend to be returning students and already established in the workforce.
The study reported that 50% of the older student group worked while 44% of the younger student group worked in 2016. Among both age groups, students who worked tended to have lower average GPAs, longer time to graduation, lower rates of retention, and higher rates of part-time attendance compared to those who did not work. Older students tended to have higher average GPAs than those from the younger group, but had a longer time to graduation, and lower rate of retention.
When looking at attendance, the portion of students attending college from the older group declined by 4% from 2012 to 2016, falling from 18% to 14%. This decline is likely due to a rise in employment in the years following the 2008 recession prompting older students to choose work over college.

My question is about those straw belts that get wrapped around the trunks of pine trees a meter or so above the ground. I know they have something to do with fooling insects into laying their eggs in the straw instead of the bark, but could you give us more details? For example, what the heck are the belts called? When are they applied? What beetle or disease is involved? Most importantly, is this technology exportable and would it help my sister in Colorado save her pine forest?
Margaret O., Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture
Those belts are called komomaki and they are indeed a form of pest control, but the way they work is a little different from what you described. The komomaki method was developed in Japan several hundred years ago to combat a pine pest called matsugareha. It's a moth found throughout Japan as well as in Siberia and on the Korean peninsula and Sakhalin Island. In English it's usually referred to as the "pine moth," and its scientific name is Dendrolimus spectabilis.
You are correct that the belts are put on trees to trick the pests into doing something they wouldn't normally do, but the straw is provided not for egg-laying but rather as a nice place to spend the winter. This particular pest does its damage in the spring, as a caterpillar, when it emerges from hibernation with an unstoppable appetite for pine needles. Left to its own devices, the matsugareha caterpillar eats voraciously from March to June, depriving the tree of its means of feeding itself and making it vulnerable to attack by parasites.
To stop this, some clever gardener during the Edo Period (_PHONE_) figured out that the best way to combat this pest is not in spring, when the caterpillars are already out in force, but months earlier when they're getting ready to hibernate. Normally the caterpillars make their way to the ground and bury themselves in fallen leaves, but if offered cozy straw matting on the way down they will happily settle in there for the winter instead. This makes it easy to eliminate them; in the spring, gardeners simply remove the matting along with the pests and burn the whole affair.
Traditionally, komomaki were applied in late October or early November to coincide with one of two of the nijūshi sekki, the 24 divisions of the old calendar: either sōkō, the beginning of the frost season, or rittō, the official first day of winter. The komomaki were then left on the tree until a day in March called keichitsu, which is by tradition the day when hibernating insects emerge. The komomaki are removed and burned, pests and all, and the ashes returned to the soil as fertilizer.
In recent years, however, the efficacy of komomaki has come under question as new research shows that the traps catch natural enemies of the matsugareha in higher numbers than the pests themselves. Chikako Niiho and colleagues at the Himeji Institute of Technology in Hyogo Prefecture, for example, conducted a five-year study of the straw wraps applied to pines on the grounds of Himeji Castle, removing each mat in the spring and determining the exact count for each species caught. In 2005, the year with the highest yield (1,577 insects), spiders accounted for the largest percentage of the catch (37 percent), followed by assassin bugs (Velinus nodipes) (31 percent) and cockroaches (12 percent). In fact, the researchers found only six pine moth caterpillars, accounting for just 0.3 percent of the total. In all five years of the study, komomaki trapped far more ekichū (beneficial insects) than gaichū (harmful insects).
In part because of such findings, komomaki are no longer used on the pine trees around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo or in the Kyoto Gyoen National Garden in Kyoto. In the nine traditional gardens maintained by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, however, komomaki are still applied to pine trees in the winter but largely to convey a sense of the season. "We know they are not as effective in pest control as was once thought," a spokesperson told me. "But komomaki are an important fūbutsushi (seasonal item) we can use to create a winter feel in a garden. Such devices are particularly needed in Tokyo because it so rarely snows here anymore."
I'm intrigued by your idea about exporting komomaki technology. You told me in a follow-up e-mail that the pests in your sister's trees are the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and the engraver beetle (Ips pini), both of which damage trees by boring into the bark. I don't know enough about the life cycle or habits of those insects to say whether trapping them on the trunk would work, or when the komomaki would have to be applied, but I can tell you that the method has been successfully adapted to combat other pests.
In recent years, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has used a komomaki-like band trap to protect keyaki (zelkova) trees from a beetle called nirehamushi (Pyrrhalta maculicollis). The idea was developed in 2003 to combat a severe infestation in the trees lining the wide streets in Nishi-Shinjuku near the Keio Plaza Hotel and the metropolitan government headquarters, and worked so well that the traps have been used in every subsequent year to keep the nirehamushi population under control. In June and July, workers tie a cloth band around the trunk of trees that show signs of infestation in order to trap the caterpillars on their way down the trunk. A week or so later, workers remove the bands and collect the trapped caterpillars. It's a laborious process, but it's actually more effective and better for the environment than using pesticides.
"In any case, we would not want to use chemicals in an area with such high pedestrian traffic," a spokesperson said. "But our goal is not to completely eliminate the pests, which would upset the natural ecosystem, but to reduce their numbers to levels that the trees can survive."

Dec. 15, 2008 Minimally invasive, image-guided treatment is a safe and precise method for removal of self-inflicted foreign objects from the body, according to the first report on "self-embedding disorder," or self-injury and self-inflicted foreign body insertion in adolescents. The findings will be presented December 3 at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
"Radiologists are in a unique position to be the first to detect self-embedding disorder, make the appropriate diagnosis and mobilize the healthcare system for early and effective intervention and treatment," said the study's principal investigator, William E. Shiels II, D.O., chief of the Department of Radiology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Self-injury, or self-harm, refers to a variety of behaviors in which a person intentionally inflicts harm to his or her body without suicidal intent. It is a disturbing trend among U.S. adolescents, particularly girls. Prevalence is unknown because many cases go unreported, but recent studies have reported that 13 to 24 percent of high school students in the U.S. and Canada have practiced deliberate self-injury at least once. More common forms of self-injury include cutting of the skin, burning, bruising, hair pulling, breaking bones or swallowing toxic substances. In cases of self-embedding disorder, objects are used to puncture the skin or are embedded into the wound after cutting.
Dr. Shiels and colleagues studied 19 episodes of self-embedding injury in 10 adolescent girls, age 15 to 18. Using ultrasound and/or fluoroscopic guidance, interventional pediatric radiologists removed 52 embedded foreign objects from nine of the patients. The embedded objects included metal needles, metal staples, metal paperclips, glass, wood, plastic, graphite (pencil lead), crayon and stone. The objects were embedded during injuries to the arms, ankles, feet, hands and neck. One patient had self-embedded 11 objects, including an unfolded metal paperclip more than six inches in length.
Ultrasound guidance allowed the researchers to detect the presence and location of wood, crayons and plastic objects, not detectable on x-ray examinations. Removal was performed through small incisions in the skin that left little or no scarring and was successful in all cases, without fragmentation or complications.
"This technique offers surgeons and emergency physicians a safe and effective alternative for removal of foreign bodies, including objects at risk for fragmentation during traditional operative techniques," said co-author Adam Young, B.S. "The small incision minimizes scarring and deformity, which is key for the self-esteem of this unique, high-risk group of patients."

and tries to shut down the program
neatly. It doesn't always quite manage to do
this, however; sometimes you have to hit CtrlC in the terminal window too.
3. Set up the Tkinter GUI. Tk (and its Python
version, Tkinter) is quite an old GUI system,
but is also quite simple to use.
It relies on each widget (or graphical control)
to run a callback routine or set a variable's
value as it is clicked or changed.
So here, I'm setting up a 400 pixel wide Scale
slider that calls the routine set_brightness()
with the current value of the slider as it
changes.
Moved fully to the right, the slide would call
set_brightness(1 00), turning the LED fully on.
Since the window is so simple just one Scale
widget and a label I'm using Tk's crude
pack() method to arrange items in the window.
It first draws the items, then packs them
together, Tetris-like, into the window frame.
import pyfirmata
from Tkinter import *
# Create a new board object,
# specifying serial port;
# could be /dev/ttyUSB0 for older
# Arduinos
board = pyfirmata.Arduino('/dev/ttyACM0')
# start an iterator thread so
# serial buffer doesn't overflow
iter8 = pyfirmata.util.Iterator(board)
iter8.start()
# set up pins
# A0 Input
(LM35)
pin0 = board.get_pin('a:0:i')
# D3 PWM Output (LED)
pin3 = board.get_pin('d:3:p')
# IMPORTANT! discard first reads
# until A0 gets something valid
while pin0.read() is None:
pass
def get_temp():
# LM35 reading in deg C to label
label_text = "Temp: %6.1f C" % (
pin0.read() * 5 * 100)
label.config(text = label_text)
# reschedule after half second
root.after(500, get_temp)
Once it's done that, it schedules the first
temperature reading (which schedules the
next, and so on), then finally sits in the Tk
mainloop() for the rest of the program,
responding to your input.
Further directions
This is a very simple example of controlling an
Arduino from Python.
While Firmata can control more complex
outputs such as servos, it does take over the
whole logic processing of the Arduino board.
Any sensor that requires complex setup or
real-time control isn't going to work so well.
That aside, you've now got all the power of the
Raspberry Pi hooked up to the simple
robustness of the Arduino; the sky's not even
the limit!

charger for the 4xAA batteries placed inside,
which in turn are able to supply power to the
Raspberry Pi itself. The device also serves as
a neat holder for the raspberry pi and as a
bonus it can also be used to recharge most
USB powered devices.
1 . The sun shines on the solar panel.
2. Available power is used to charge the
battery pack (just insert your own standard
4xAAs NiCad/NiMh of your required
capacity).
3. The battery pack stores the energy and
seamlessly provides power even when
there is little or no sun.
4. The Raspberry Pi is powered!

used to daisy chain additional solar units to
providing additional solar power and longer
battery life (by plugging into the side USB
socket (C)).
C. An additional USB socket on the side of the
unit provides an auxiliary charging point for
mobile phones and other USB devices.

300mA should be a good conservative estimate.
Usage Considerations:
My own tests with some old 2500mAh Cells,
provided around 4 hours of night-time usage,
reasonable considering the batteries are
several years old.
By using minimal peripherals and using the
more efficient Model A Raspberry Pi (when
released) should greatly extend the runtime.
The efficiency of the Raspberry Pi can also be
improved by replacing the built-in 3.3V linear
regulator with a more efficient switched-mode
one an extreme measure, but reported to
save about 25% of power (see
_URL_ for details).
Although the Raspberry Pi can be used in
many situations remotely, often you will want
to use it with a screen. Currently most
screens will require just as much if not more
power than the Raspberry Pi itself. This may
improve when the foundation can supply LCD
screens directly driven from the Raspberry Pi,
ultimately requiring less power than your
typical LCD monitor or TV. To this end, a
super-efficient e-ink based display would be
an excellent option, fingers crossed that
becomes a reality.
For 24 hour remote operation (something
several Raspberry Pi users desire), it is likely
that 2 or more solar units and plentiful sun
would be required. Additionally, by designing
some methods to remotely switch off the
Raspberry Pi power

php-regexHow to match a single quote in PHP regex?
Single quotes can be matched in PHP regex using the \ character. This is an escape character that allows you to match a single quote in a regex expression.
Example code
$string = 'This is a string with a single quote ' inside';
$pattern = '/\'/';
if (preg_match($pattern, $string)) {
 echo 'Match found';
}
Output example
Match found
Code explanation
 - $string: This is the string that we are searching for a single quote in.
 - $pattern: This is the regex pattern that we are using to search for a single quote. The \ character is used to escape the single quote so that it can be matched.
 - preg_match(): This is the PHP function that is used to search for a pattern in a string. It takes two parameters, the regex pattern and the string to search in.

Ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation (DA) can now be conducted within the software framework of CESM. This form of DA uses the multi-instance capability of CESM in which CESM advances an ensemble of model states of one or more CESM components forward to the same forecast time, when observations are available. Then the ensemble of forecast model states is passed to the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART), where each state is adjusted toward the observations which are available at that time. For details of this process see an introduction in BAMS (2009) and/or the DART home page. DART then passes the ensemble of adjusted model states back to CESM to be used as initial conditions for the next forecast.
The references above describe the many uses of ensemble data assimilation, which include:
generation of analyses (blends of model forecast and observations which are a better description of the physical system than either by itself),
model development testing against actual observations (as opposed to other analyses),
sensitivity analysis between model variables of interest in a particular synoptic situation,
variability studies using the ensemble of equally valid model states, observation system simulation experiments (OSSEs).
This use case outlines assimilation for a CAM (F comp set) build only. Assimilation is possible with the ocean component (B comp sets), and experimental assimilations with the land component (I comp sets) have been conducted. Additional use case descriptions will be added to cover those and any future evolution of the CESM+DART software. This use case assumes that the user is familiar with setting up and using CESM, and is willing to learn how to set up and use DART in the CESM context. There is no simple example which users can grab and run, because understanding what is being run is crucial to success and there are many choices to be made.
The major steps of assimilating observations into CAM follow.
Download DART. DART relieves researchers of the need to develop data assimilation capabilities, but familiarity with data assimilation and the DART facility is required in order to use it productively. This can be gained through the DART tutorial.
Build the DART executables for a simple model to check that DART has been installed correctly.
Build the DART executables for CAM, following a similar procedure to 2.
The script.../DART/models/cam/CESM_setup.csh builds a CAM which combines the user's desired features and DART's required features. The characteristics of the CAM and assimilation set in CESM_setup.csh are:
locations of the build, run, and archive directories,
features of the $CASE to be built,
locations of input files, including the initial ensemble of CAM (and CLM and CICE) states
date and timing characteristics of the assimilation,
machine and resource characteristics.
- Copy CESM_setup.csh to the directory where the user wants to build CAM. - Edit that CESM_setup.csh to set most of the assimilation parameters. - Run CESM_setup.csh.
Set the rest of the assimilation parameters:
- cd to $CASE - Edit input.nml to set other characteristics of the assimilation. For details see the online help pages or the html in the user's $DART/filter/filter.html#GettingStarted. - Edit assimilate.csh to set the location of the observations to be assimilated. Sets of real observations are available for use, or synthetic observations can be created using the user's model.
Submit the job using $CASE.submit in the $CASEROOT directory.
Output from the assimilation is handled by the CESM archiver(s), which has been modified to handle DART output. Output appears in a new short-term archive directory.../archive/.../dart/hist. The 3 files created at each assimilation time are
Prior_Diag.YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS.nc: the ensemble mean, spread, members (optionally), and 'inflation' fields from before the assimilation (at the end of the forecast).
Posterior_Diag.YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS.nc: same as Prior, but from after the assimilation.
obs_seq.YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS.final: the actual observations assimilated and the ensemble members estimates of those observations.
The obs_seq.final files are usually processed by the obs_diag program in DART (.../DART/diagnostics/threed_sphere/obs_diag.f90), and the resulting NetCDF files are usually processed with Matlab scripts included in DART (or similar). Little knowledge of Matlab is needed to use them. The Prior and Posterior files can be examined with any NetCDF viewing tool.

C Specification
GLint glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex(GLuint program, GLenum programInterface, const char * name);
Parameters
program
The name of a program object whose resources to query.
programInterface
A token identifying the interface within program containing the resource named name.
name
The name of the resource to query the location of.
Description
glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex returns the fragment color index assigned to the variable named name in interface programInterface of program object program. program must be the name of a program that has been linked successfully. programInterface must be GL_PROGRAM_OUTPUT.
The value -1 will be returned if an error occurs, if name does not identify an active variable on programInterface, or if name identifies an active variable that does not have a valid location assigned, as described above. The locations returned by these commands are the same locations returned when querying the GL_LOCATION and GL_LOCATION_INDEX resource properties.
A string provided to glGetProgramResourceLocationIndex is considered to match an active variable if:
Any other string is considered not to identify an active variable. If the string specifies an element of an array variable, glGetProgramResourceLocation returns the location assigned to that element. If it specifies the base name of an array, it identifies the resources associated with the first element of the array.
Errors
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if program is not the name of an existing program object.
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if programInterface is not one of the accepted interface types.
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if program has not been linked successfully.

Spanish and British scientists intend to solve fisheries issues. (Photo: Pablo Lozano/IEO)
Spanish and British scientists assess fishery resources in Gibraltar
Friday, August 10, 2012, 03:40 (GMT + 9)
Scientists at the Oceanographic Centre of Cadiz of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) and a UK fishing research specialist are collaborating in fisheries resources assessments in the Rock of Gibraltar.
The agreement was reached between the consultant hired by the Government of Gibraltar and researchers Ignacio Sobrino Yraola and Juan Gil Herrera, in a meeting in which the parties discussed the technical aspects based on the information available.
The experts analysed the series of abundance of key species and the seasonality of resources and identified the biological aspects depending on the type of species.
"The main problem encountered when analysing the information available consists in associating certain catches to a particular area, since they correspond to a total landed at auctions, regardless of the source," Sobrino explained.
"Deficiencies in the biological information of the main species (size, age, maturity, etc.) have also been identified, making it difficult to carry out an advisory process," the IEO researcher added.
In addition, the researchers also agreed to maintain contact in the future for possible clarifications on the information provided and likely future joint collaboration in future research projects assisting the fishing activity advisory in the area, as the statement of the IEO indicates.
Sobrino told the agency Europa Press that the British specialist Indrani Lutchman was provided with a summary that has enabled her to complete the information available in relation to the Spanish legislation on the subject.
"Of course, [the legislation] is in line with the EU law," he said, but he stressed that the "great interest" is focused on the exploitation pattern of the fleet.
For the expert, if the Gibraltar Government intends to implement management measures for fisheries in the future, it would be necessary to develop a research project aimed at resolving this issue in advance.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Occasionally in math I come across constructions or tools that are a bit convoluted. I can look at these constructions and see that they indeed perform the task they were made to do, but sometimes I can't see why they $\textit{should}$ perform this task; why is that the logical thing to choose for the job? Right now, I'm having this issue with the satellite of a functor.
Just to recall, given an additive functor between two abelian categories $F:\mathcal{C} \rightarrow \mathcal{D}$, the satellite is another functor $S_-^1(F): \mathcal{C} \rightarrow \mathcal{D}$ defined by
$S_-^1(F)(M) = lim(ker(F(M) \rightarrow F(P)))$
where $0 \rightarrow M \rightarrow P \rightarrow N \rightarrow 0$ is an exact sequence with $P$ a projective object. Then a derived functor is formed by taking iterations of the satellite: $S_-^n(F) = S_-(S_-^{n-1}(F))$. More information can be found on nlab.
I am learning about derived functors in a slightly different setting, namely with nonadditive categories where there are not necessarily enough projectives in the category $\mathcal{C}$, and so the definition is modified slightly; perhaps the definition is more transparent in the standard setting.
So my question is
Is there any intuition for why the satellite is the correct tool to use for obtaining derived functors? If I needed to create a derived functor out of a given functor, is there a logical progression that would lead me to define the satellite?

I think you want an additive functor between abelian categories. – Qiaochu Yuan Jun 26 '10 at 0:35
Yes, thanks. The different setting in which I'm learning about derived functors also does not require additivity of the functor or abelian categories. It has been changed. – Eric A. Bunch Jun 26 '10 at 3:36
Don't you want to map from a projective object $P \to M$ and to an injective object $M \to I$? – K.J. Moi Dec 9 '10 at 17:38

I don't know if this can be considered as "intuition", anyway
another way to think about derived functors is the following: given an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, you can define its derived category $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})$ (or its variants of bounded complexes in one or both directions). You get $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})$ by "localizing" the homotopy category of complexes $\mathcal{K}(\mathcal{A})$, where the objects are complexes in $\mathcal{A}$ and maps are maps of complexes up to homotopy, at the system of quasi-isomorphisms.
There is a natural localization functor $\pi_A:\mathcal{K}(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})$. If $F:\mathcal{A}\to \mathcal{B}$ is your additive functor between abelian categories, and $\mathcal{K}(F):\mathcal{K}(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{K}(\mathcal{B})$ is the induced functor, it is natural to ask for an "extension" of $\mathcal{K}(F)$ to the derived category $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})$, with values in $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$. In other words this would be a functor $RF:\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$, such that $\pi_B \circ \mathcal{K}(F) = RF \circ \pi_A$.
This is not possible to find in general, and the problem is that $\mathcal{K}(F)$ may not send quasi-isomorphisms into quasi-isomorphisms. The best you can ask for is a functor $RF:\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})\to \mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$, with a natural transformation $\eta:\pi_B \circ \mathcal{K}(F) \to RF\circ \pi_A$ having a universal property among such functors and natural transformations (this is a particular case of a Kan extension).
Such an $RF$ (unique up to isomorphism) is called the (total) right derived functor of $F$. One way to think about it is as "the" functor between the derived categories which approximates $\mathcal{K}(F)$ in the best possible way. You can recover the single derived functors $R^iF$ by taking the cohomology objects of $RF$. In most cases the derived functor is constructed by using resolutions, by injective (or projective, if you're defining left derived functors) objects, or more generally by suitable subcategories of $\mathcal{A}$.
In your case, if you also assume that $F$ is right exact, then the satellite functors coincide with the (left) derived ones, and so I guess that it follows that they can be calculated by the formulas you wrote.
The idea of the "best approximation" of $\mathcal{K}(F)$ on the derived category seems very natural to me, and a satisfactory answer to the question "why derived functors". If you were asking specifically about satellites, then I don't know.

Thanks for the answer. I'll have to think about this a bit more; I've never worked with Kan extensions before. – Eric A. Bunch Jun 29 '10 at 15:21
Well, neither have I :) in this case it is just a name, I don't know if there's more to it. – Mattia Talpo Jun 30 '10 at 9:14
I agree with you that your answer answers the question of 'why derived functors' pretty well. Thanks again for your answer, although I was hoping for something specific about the satellite. – Eric A. Bunch Jul 5 '10 at 5:30

I'm reading Possession in Yucatec Maya by Christian Lehmann (March 2003) and I came across this passage:
The prototypical possessum is a concrete entity, normally an individual (as opposed to a mass), but not necessarily highly individuated. It may be empathic or anempathic. The relationship between possessor and possessum prototypically has zero intension.
This means that there is no relator which would link the two relata and could thus contribute a meaning of its own. Instead, the relation between the two elements is brought about by the relationality of one of them, which opens a place (an argument position) to be occupied by the other.
Chap. Possessor and possessum, p. 5
What is meant by zero intension? And how does it apply to possession? I have read the definition of intension but I am not sure I still understand the concept completely.
The "intension" is the meaning, excluding the reference. A demonstrative "this/that", e.g., might be said to refer to something, but otherwise have no information, and so it would have no intension. I guess what Lehmann is saying is that Yucatec possession is similar to "have" in English, which says there is some sort of relationship between the subject and object of "have" but says nothing about what that relationship is. Compare the relation of "I" and "hole" in the example sentence "I have a hole in the pocket." Or "the house" and "appearance" in "The house had a strange appearance to it."

Impact of oxygenated gasoline use on California light-duty vehicle emissions
Light-duty vehicle emissions were measured at the Caldecott Tunnel in August and October 1994. In the interval between these two periods, the average oxygen content of gasoline sold in the San Francisco Bay area increased from 0.3 to 2.0% by weight. Compared to the August (low-oxygenate) sampling period, measured pollutant emission rates during the October (high-oxygenate) sampling period for CO and VOC decreased by 21 ± 7 and 18 ± 10%, respectively, while NOx emissions showed no significant change. Formaldehyde emissions increased by 13 ± 6%, acetaldehyde emissions did not change significantly, and benzene emissions decreased by 25 ± 17%. Speciated VOC emission profiles show that the use of oxygenated gasoline resulted in higher MTBE and lower aromatic hydrocarbon emissions, higher isobutene, and lower aromatic aldehydes. The normalized reactivity of NMOG emissions did not change significantly between the low-oxygenate and high-oxygenate sampling periods. VOC exhaust speciation profiles for vehicles operating in the hot-stabilized mode at the Caldecott Tunnel match the speciation profile for cold-start emissions from new vehicles as measured in the Auto/Oil program. California's motor vehicle emission factor model, EMFAC7F, accurately predicts the VOC/NOx ratio measured at the Caldecott Tunnel in August, but underpredicts the observed CO/NOx ratio by a factor of 1.5−2.2 over the range of vehicle speeds observed at the tunnel.

Figure 3: k1 and E95
Now, let's discuss about the relationship between E95 and the k1 factor. The k1 factor indicates the difficulty of the lithography process; it is determined by the target design rule, numerical aperture (NA), and laser exposure wavelength according to the following formula:
k1 = Design Rule * NA of Lithography Tool/Laser Exposure Wavelength
In general, to achieve a higher yield in the mass-production process of semiconductors, k1 is set to near 0.4 while the NA and laser exposure wavelength of the lithography tool are determined based on the set k1 value. However, as the target design rule continues to become finer, the k1 value needs to be reduced to near 0.3 due to the NA limit of the lithography tool and the difficulty in shortening of the exposure wavelength. For example, achieving 90 nm in a KrF process or 65 nm in an ArF process requires reduction of the k1 value. From the viewpoint of cost, reducing k1 allows use of the laser with a fairly low NA and longer wavelength, thus reducing the equipment cost to subsequently lowering the manufacturing cost of semiconductor devices. Use of a KrF laser instead of an ArF laser for the 90-nm technology node is a typical example of this trend.
On the other hand, reducing the k1 value may cause the yield to be lowered because it limits the process margin. To enhance the yield, the resolution needs to be increased by improving the reticle while immersion lithography technology needs to be introduced to increase the NA of lithography tool in pseudo manner.
E95 makes a great contribution to reduction of the k1 factor. Figure 3 shows the upper limit required for each k1 factor. As this figure indicates, a narrower E95 is required as the k1 factor becomes smaller. The reason is that a smaller distribution of spectrums is required to reduce the impact of the chromatic aberration generated in a lithography tool as the target design rule becomes smaller. For example, the maximum E95 was approx. 1.8 pm for the target design rule of 150 nm in a KrF process with a k1 factor of 0.4. On the other hand, the E95 must be reduced to 0.8 pm for the target design rule of 90 nm in a KrF process with a k1 factor of 0.3 to reduce the impact of chromatic aberration for better resolution. The E95 corresponding to each k1 factor shown in figure 3 becomes the requirement for achieving the resolution required for imaging the target design pattern.

For the generation with a k1 factor of 0.4 or more, it was considered that there was no problem if the E95 varies within its set upper limit. As the k1 factor becomes smaller than 0.4, however, fluctuation of the E95 directly impacts on the CD.
Figure 4 shows the estimated variance of the CD (variance per 1 pm) caused by fluctuation of the E95 for each k1 factor. While it varies slightly depending on the illumination condition and the characteristics of the photoresist used, it plots an almost average result. The data shown in this figure indicates that the CD varies by 7 to 8 nm as the E95 varies only 1 pm even if the k1 factor becomes 0.3 for the KrF process. This variation is four times greater than that for the KrF process with the k1 factor of 0.4. For the ArF process, meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the variation produces an impact twice as large as that for the KrF process. That is, if the k1 factor is reduced to 0.3 for the ArF process, the CD will vary 14 to 16 nm. Such a CD error at this level cannot be ignored, and represents a big difficulty. Therefore, it is apparent that improvement of the stabilization of the E95 is a big challenge for the next-generation lithography process.
As proved in this survey, the E95 produces an especially large impact on isolated lines but a small impact on dense lines. That is, bias generated in a pattern with a mixture of isolated and dense lines is closely related to the E95. This will be studied in detail in the following lectures.
We have discussed the factor that causes fluctuation of the E95, and have quantitatively indicated the impact of the E95 upon the CD. The next lecture will introduce a technology for stabilizing the E95, which is developed by Gigaphoton to stabilize the CD.

IHSS Provider Wait and Travel Times
IHSS Provider Wait and Travel Times
IHSS gives services to help you stay at home if you cannot take care of yourself because of your disability. This pub tells you about getting IHSS hours for help getting to the doctor. It also tells you if you can get IHSS hours for doctor trips for a child.
1. Can I receive IHSS hours for my provider to take me to doctors' appointments?
Yes, this is called "accompaniment to medical appointments." Medical accompaniment to "health care appointments" (e.g. medical appointment at a doctor's office, dentist and to other health practitioners) is an IHSS service certain IHSS recipients can receive. Medical accompaniment can be authorized when a recipient needs another IHSS service in order to get to and from a medical appointment or alternative resource, and/or at their destination.1 For example, if a recipient has been authorized for accompaniment to medical appointments, the provider can also be paid to help the IHSS recipient travel to and from medical appointments.
Examples of help with travel includes things like helping a recipient get in and out of a vehicle, getting properly seated, and using seat belts. To get authorized for medical accompaniment, you should tell your IHSS social worker that you have a medical appointment and that you need your IHSS provider's assistance to get to the medical appointment. The IHSS social worker will then assess your need for assistance in getting to and from medical appointments.2 IHSS care providers are not required to use their own vehicle to transport recipients to and from a medical appointment. However, an IHSS recipient can pay their care provider for the use of their vehicle to transport the recipient to and from the recipient's medical appointments.
2. Can an IHSS provider get paid for time spent waiting at an IHSS recipient's doctor's appointment?
Yes. As of February 1, 2016, providers can receive payment for time spent waiting at medical appointments. In order to be paid for waiting at a medical appointment, the provider has to show that while they are at a recipient's medical appointment, they cannot leave because they cannot predict how long the recipient's appointment will take. An example would be when a provider takes a recipient to a medical appointment and the provider has to wait at the medical office because, at any moment, they may have to take the recipient home. This means the provider is "engaged to wait" or "Wait Time —On Duty."
When a recipient is authorized for medical accompaniment, if all the following conditions are met, then the provider will be considered "Wait Time —Off Duty" (which means they will not be paid for any time spent waiting for the recipient):
 1. The amount of time the appointment will take is known in advance which would allow the provider plenty of notice that they will not be needed to provide services during that time and which can then be used for their own purposes;
 2. The appointment is scheduled to last enough time for the provider to conduct personal business; and
 3. The provider is not required to perform any other authorized service, e.g., food shopping, other shopping/errands, during the appointment time.
If all the above conditions are met, then the recipient must tell the provider that they do not have to work until a specified time when they must return to accompany the recipient home. The provider will not be paid for this time. If all the above conditions are NOT met, the provider is considered to have "Wait Time —On Duty," and they must be paid for the time they spend waiting for the recipient.
You can find more information on wait times in All County Letter No. 16-01. 3
3. What if I need my provider to take me to an alternative resource? Can they still get paid to wait for me?
Individuals can receive transportation to a site where alternative resources provide in-home supportive services to the recipient in lieu of IHSS. 4 In general, for individuals who receive time for medical accompaniment to an alternative resource, the time an IHSS provider is waiting would not to be compensable because recipients are usually dropped off and picked up at a certain time. Normally, a provider cannot be paid for the wait time associated with accompaniment to alternative resource sites because the provider can effectively use that time for their own purposes and it is considered Wait Time Off-Duty. 5 However, in order to determine whether wait time is paid, the social worker must determine whether or not a provider is using "Wait Time-On Duty" or if the provider is using "Wait Time-Off Duty." 6
4. Can a minor receive IHSS hours for accompaniment to doctors' appointments?
There are special requirements to get medical accompaniment authorized for minor recipients. Medical accompaniment for minors can only be authorized if the minor recipient has an "assessed extraordinary need," the appointment is for a specialist, and the minor recipient has a need for an authorized IHSS task to be performed during travel to or from the appointment.
To get medical accompaniment and associated wait times authorized for a minor recipient, each of the three following conditions must be met:
 1. The minor recipient must have an assessed extraordinary need. An extraordinary need is a need that is based on the functional impairment due to the minor's disability and the need is beyond what would normally be expected for a minor of the same age without the functional impairment.
 2. The appointment(s) must be with a physician or other licensed health care professional in a specialty care discipline and the appointment must be related to the minor's disability or functional impairment. Medical Accompaniment may not be authorized for routine appointments with the minor recipient's pediatrician or primary care physician, such as well-baby/child visits, annual check-ups, immunizations, visits related to common childhood illnesses/injuries, etc.
 3. The minor recipient must have a need for an authorized IHSS task(s) during travel to and/or from the appointment, or at the appointment.
The guidelines for authorizing wait time for adult recipients are not applied in minor recipient cases. This is because a parent is typically expected to be present during a child's medical appointment so that they can participate in a discussion with the medical professional about the child's health and make decisions about treatment and care. The social worker should include the wait time in the authorization of hours. You can find more information and examples in All County Letter No. 17-42.
5. Can an IHSS provider get paid for travel time between recipients?
Yes. IHSS providers can be paid for travel time. Travel time is the time it takes a provider to travel directly from the location where they care for a recipient to another location to provide services for a different recipient on the same day. However, a provider cannot get paid for the travel time to and from his or her home to any IHSS recipient's location. In addition, providers can only be reimbursed for 7 hours of travel time per week. 7
Providers who have multiple recipients should contact the county in order to complete form SOC 2255 and submit it to the IHSS office. This form must be completed in order for the provider to be compensated for their travel time.

Why Parents Should Consider Judo Over Other Team Sports For Their Kids?
Unlike all team sports, martial arts, in general, gives the learner a good control over body and mind. Team sports can encourage kids to work with a group and get new friends but learning a martial art is very good as it can be used as just self-defense and also as a way to nurture talent. Kids these days are addicted to DominoQQ and a change of environment to learn martial arts can be quite helpful to stay away from playing these games.
Reasons why parents should consider Judo
There are many reasons to consider judo for their kids, but parents would sometimes believe it could lead the kids to use it for a fight outside so here are a few reasons to prove it wrong.
 1. ConfidenceLearning a martial art and getting good at it can boost the kid's confidence even outside the dojo.
 2. ExerciseIt proves as a good physical activity for the kids to help them lead a healthy life.
 3. DisciplineAny sport teaches discipline along with how to play better through practice.
 4. ControlUsing the mind and body in sync is something that all martial arts hold important.
 5. CompetitionAs Judo is a solo sport kid can test their skill and strength and strive to get better and reach the top.
 6. Self-defenseWith all these good things that the martial arts teach us, the main advantage can be the ability to defend oneself against others.
Judo is a very competitive sport which treats men and women alike. It has so many important values that can be thought to children and is more than just a brute sport. It also serves as a means of self-defense for the children. So parents should consider their kids for taking Judo lessons.

Learn about Cameo
Cameos have been carved since antiquity, and a true cameo is a hard stone on which a design is cut in relief. Usually the stone used had a two colour bands, a dark band and a lighter band, and the image was cut into the light band leaving the darker band as background.
These cameos were carved from semi precious stones such as agate, onyx and carnelian.
However this summary is concerned with cameos produced in the 18th and 19th centuries, mostly as brooches, and most of the 19th century cameos are carved from shell.
If the cameo is carved from a semi precious stone, and well described it will usually name the stone or include the word 'hardstone' in the description, and if that word is not present the cameo can assumed to be a shell cameo. Hardstone cameos sell at a premium to a similar shell cameo.
However cameos can be made from other materials including ivory, lava, plastics and glass, and some are made by setting a relief carving to a contrasting background which could be of a different material.
Cameos that are created by a mould rather than carving are considered faux or fake cameos, although they are collectable in their own right as costume jewellery. more...

Problem 367Published on Saturday, 14th January 2012, 10:00 pm; Solved by 247
Bozo sort, not to be confused with the slightly less efficient bogo sort, consists out of checking if the input sequence is sorted and if not swapping randomly two elements. This is repeated until eventually the sequence is sorted.
If we consider all permutations of the first 4 natural numbers as input the expectation value of the number of swaps, averaged over all 4! input sequences is 24.75.
The already sorted sequence takes 0 steps.
In this problem we consider the following variant on bozo sort.
If the sequence is not in order we pick three elements at random and shuffle these three elements randomly.
All 3!=6 permutations of those three elements are equally likely.
The already sorted sequence will take 0 steps.
If we consider all permutations of the first 4 natural numbers as input the expectation value of the number of shuffles, averaged over all 4! input sequences is 27.5.
Consider as input sequences the permutations of the first 11 natural numbers.
Averaged over all 11! input sequences, what is the expected number of shuffles this sorting algorithm will perform?
Give your answer rounded to the nearest integer.

TOPIC: Desperate Hunger For God
SCRIPTURE: And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret. – Luke 5:1
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where hunger is lacking, life is empty.
From our anchor Scripture, the Bible makes it clear that people pressed upon Jesus to hear the Word of God. While He was teaching, there was a great multitude of people who were hungry for God's Word. It was not the need for miracles of healing, financial provision or food that brought them to Jesus but desperate hunger to hear God's Word.
It is important to know that God does not ignore the desires of the desperate. When a man or woman is hungry for God, God never undermines that hunger (Matthew 5:6).
Your level of hunger for God, therefore, determines your degree of satisfaction in God. We are not satisfied with God at the same rate because our levels of hunger differ. When men are deficient in their hunger for God, they become spiritually frustrated. Many Christians are spiritually frustrated because they lack the hunger for God.
Psalm 81:10 says, 'I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.'
Where hunger is lacking, life is empty.
I prophesy a deep and unquenchable hunger for God's Word in your life.
Remember this: Where hunger is lacking, life is empty.
1. Get rid of any form of arrival mentality in your spiritual walk with God.
2. Be permanently hungry for God.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: PRESSING FOR THE WORD – PT 2
PRAYER: O LORD, baptize me with an unquenchable hunger for You in Jesus' Name.

Our system requires either DVD or CD images in.iso format, or raw disk images – the equivalent of taking the stream of bytes off a physical disk and saving them in a file. A.vmdk file is a long way from raw format. However, qemu does have tools to convert these. On a Linux system, you can use:
$ qemu-img convert inputfilename.vmdk -O raw outputfilename.raw
to convert a.vmdk into a raw disk image that our system can use. Be aware that a raw image is probably larger than the.vmdk, which is a compressed format.
Mac users can also perform this conversion using Oracle's VirtualBox, by running the following commands in Terminal: cd /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/ sudo./VBoxManage clonehd drive.vmdk drive.raw –format RAW
Our recommendation is always to create a new system on Go2Cloud servers and install what you need, and copy over data. Windows guests in particular dislike having their virtual hardware swapped around, so there are few guarantees that you'll have a reliable system after conversion. That said, we recommend:
- Remove VMware Tools before you shut down for conversion. This is the most important step.
- Make sure when you run the converted file, you set the number of cores to at least two. This is in the advanced options for the server, and does seem to make Windows guests in particular more reliable.
- Some users have had more success with the older RealTek virtual network card than the Intel one. If you do have issues, it's certainly worth swapping. By default, your VM will use the Intel PRO/1000 emulated NIC, as it is the most modern and is widely supported in modern operating systems. However, wider support for the Realtek RTL8139 card means that we recommend using the Realtek emulation if you experience any problems with the Intel model.

OOOOOOOOOOH!!!! A ghost!
Ghost Shrimps live in deep parts and crevices of caves. They are not common but very striking when they are found. The Ghost Shrimp are burrower's in kind of muddy or sandy sediments. They can also live in crevices underneath rocks and corals. Since these animals burrow, they are important to the ocean enviornment. Ghost Shrimps are sometimes used as bait by fishermen. The fishermen call the Ghost Shrimp Bass Yabbies and/or one armed bandits. They are especially common in the tropics. The female Ghost Shrimps carry developing eggs attached to some hairs on their pleopods or stomach.
